The purpose of the market is to raise funds, increase awareness and oversee the monument. We plan to continue the markets in 2018 with signage improvement and changes in scheduling. The location of our tent is helpful in that we are able to interact with people within sight of the monument. We will submit, in 2018, the transfer of names of World War 1 and World War 2 veterans that are on the plaques at the old Pierson Library building and the Town Hall to the site of the flagpole at the Monument. They will be etched in stone. We also plan to fund raise for part of the funds needed for this project. The trees at the site were removed recently with the help of Paul Goodrich and his crew, VJ Comai and Tree Committee member David Hall. The trees will be replanted in other sites in Shelburne in the spring. Many thanks to the above named for their donation of time and energy to this project. We had three other activities that need to be acknowledged. Green Mountain Power installed a permanent light for the American flag. Zach Loiter, as an Eagle Scout project, completed the movable platform for our ceremonies. It was a “job well done.” We are still taking new brick orders and anticipate fifteen new brick installations before Memorial Day. The Committee elections will be in February and we expect to add two or three new active members. Credit is given to Joe Colangelo, the Planning and Zoning office and their committees and the Town Highway department under Paul Goodrich for their assistance and other Town staff for their responsiveness to our needs during this year. We also note the financial assistance given us by the Rotary club and SBPA for our Memorial Day program. We must cite a most active and cohesive Committee who has accomplished much this year. Respectfully submitted, Sam Feitelberg, Committee Chairman
NATURAL RESOURCES AND CONSERVATION COMMITTEE SNRCC found 2017 an extremely busy year. Our two crowning 2017 accomplishments were the delivery of our new Open Space Plan (OSP) and Conservation of the Barr Farm The OSP was reviewed and accepted by the Select Board and embraced by the PC as a valuable tool to guide their work on the new Town Plan. While input to the OSP was offered by the entire committee, special recognition is due to Peg Rosenau and Sean MacFaden who worked tirelessly for two years structuring and writing the plan, to Joannah Ralston, graphic designer and former SNRCC member whose pro bono work produced the beautiful document, and to Wes Dunn, our Editor. 57
