EV charging station at CVU HINESBURG Ñ The next generation is embracing electric vehicles! Students in the Money Energy Power class at Champlain Valley Union High School came up with the idea as a class project to put in an electric vehicle charging station at CVU. The students worked with Green Mountain Power to install the station that is now in service.

GMPÕ s commitment to a comprehensive statewide EV charging network will help increase VermontÕ s energy independence and contribute to cleaner air and lower carbon emissions. GMP has installed charging stations in 31 locations, ten of which have a DC Fast Charger.

CVU is the first school to partner with GMP to place a charging station on site. The four students who let this project are Burke Spillane, Colin Osbahr, Jack Reynolds and Jarrett Slote. Ò CVU students are so aware of the importance of changing how we use energy,Ó said Glenn Fay, CVU science teacher who worked with the students on this project.

Quilters at the Strong House Inn: Made of hands and hearts

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

Each year, Needle & Gun Club members, former FBI agents and other professionals, reunite their creative passion to be spoiled in the process at the historic Strong House Inn in Vergennes. They donated quilts made at the inn to the John Graham Shelter.

VERGENNES Ñ ThereÕ s an old Vermont joke that comes something like this: To a European, a Yankee is an American. To an American, a Yankee is a New Englander. To a New Englander, a Yankee is a Vermonter.

To a Vermonter, a Yankee is someone who eats apple pie for breakfast. And to a Vermonter who eats apple pie for breakfast, a Yankee is someone who eats it with a knife.

Well, we logically presume, that to a Vermonter a genuine Yankee country innÑ where you can sleep late and eat apple pie for breakfast (with a knife if you must) Ð would have to be the iconic, circa-1834 Strong House Inn located on West Main Street in Vergennes.

In fact, this historic, Federal-style architectural treasure near downtown Vergennes, is also considered to be an ideal Yankee retreat for expert quiltersÑ especially members of the exclusive Needle & Gun Club, an all-female club of retired FBI agents and professional friends hailing from the Philadelphia suburbs of Pennsylvania CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Peace Corps volunteer talks about travels in Bristol

By Anne Majusiak

BRISTOl Ñ A personal journey as a Peace Corps volunteer where ideals encountered the gritty working realities of another culture is the subject of the upcoming One World library Project program on Thursday, Jan. 21, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the lawrence Memorial library in Bristol.

Paul Kenyon, an engineer from Bridport, will speak about his recent experiences in the Dominican Republic as a Peace Corps volunteer.

In this free slide-talk program, Kenyon will demonstrate a practical application of what became his primary Peace Corps work. During his time in the village of Piedra Blanca located in the center of the island, Kenyon created a highly insulated cooking box as a way to elimi-

nate the billowing, choking cooking smoke commonly found in traditional outdoor kitchens, a problem that can cause severe respiratory health effects. The cooking box was an easily and inexpensively built solution that also had the advantage of saving fuel and getting more nutrition from the food. And yet, Kenyon says, the Dominicans he worked with didnÕ t want to use it, preferring their old way of cooking.

KenyonÕ s talk will explore what he learned about himself as he stepped back from expecting results from his project. He paid attention, observing while also thinking critically about what he was seeing. Ò One doesnÕ t learn these things until one takes off the rose-colored glasses,Ó he says. Ò We often donÕ t get what we expect, but rather, we get what is there.Ó 63-years-old when he began his work with

the Peace Corp, Kenyon was much older than a typical Peace Corps volunteer, but he wanted to immerse himself in the experience and do something beyond his career in mechanical engineering. He wrote in a blog at the time that his intention was to find out what happens when a person like himself, a normal guy, goes into such a different experience from his life up until then. Ò ItÕ s complicated; that was never in question. I knew it would be complicated. Normal respect for another culture tells us that. We know instinctively that we are setting ourselves on a journey of depth.Ó His personal reflection has continued since he returned to Vermont in 2014 after three-years of service. Ò I never saw myself as Ô partÕ of the DR while I was there,Ó he says. Ò In part, this is the Peace Corps ideal; itÕ s not Ô about usÕ , itÕ s

about them.Ó A mechanical engineering graduate, Kenyon designed meteorological towers and wind resources sensors for NRG Systems for 12 years before starting his own company, Cumulus Engineering llC in Bridport, Vt. An environmentalist and avid recreational sports participant, Kenyon has lived off the grid for 30 years.

His home in Bridport relies on power provided by the wind and sun, and he uses a gasolinepowered generator only when Ò desperately needed.Ó Kenyon will be making ginger tea in his cooking box for those attending the program.

Prior to his talk, he will also share some of the music that infused his three years in the Dominican Republic.

Gran Fondo returns to Addison County mountain locales

MIDDlEBURY Ñ The climbing will be no less challenging, the views every bit as breathtaking, and the post-ride party kicked up a notch.

The third Vermont Gran Fondo, named one of the U.S.Õ s Top 10 Gran Fondos by GranFondoGuide.com, is set for Saturday, June 4, and promises several new twists on a familiar and popular theme.

After two editions that challenged cyclists from all over the world, as well as a 2012 Olympian, with the daunting Ò lAMBÓ rideÑ the lincoln, Appalachian, Middlebury and Brandon gaps in successionÑ the Green Mountain StateÕ s premier cycling event will mix things up this summer.

Repaving on Routes 125 and 73 will reduce sections of the Middlebury and Brandon gaps to gravel, so organizers have paired Roxbury Gap and Moretown Mountain with the Appalachian and lincoln gaps. All told, the 2016 Gran Fondo route will make for 105 miles and more than 10,000 feet of climbingÑ yet again, a quadruple-gap century ride. And the course’s final ascent will take cyclists up the eastern slope of lincoln Gap, with 24% grade

thatÕ s purported to be the steepest paved mile in the U.S. Ò We have too much respect for the Vermont Gran FondoÕ s many friends and their finely-tuned equipment to ask them to bike over rugged surfaces,Ó says event director Sue Hoxie. Ò So we decided to make a virtue of necessity and give riders a chance to scale two new Green Mountain summits. And theyÕ ll still be ascending lincoln Gap. Indeed, for Gran riders, a full day of cycling will culminate in that legendary climb.Ó To accentuate the Vermont vibe, the Gran Fondo route will lead riders through five covered bridges (in Waitsfield, Warren and Northfield). The new 2016 loop also features many country stores along the route (in Starksboro, Lincoln, Warren, Waitsfield and Northfield) to supplement the usual well-stocked rest stops (atop the App and lincoln gaps).

Pictured at right: A gran fondo, named after the Italian phrase for “great endurance,” is a one-day bicycle event first popularized in Europe that emphasizes participation over competition. It’s typically characterized by a festive atmosphere, camaraderie, and post-ride food and drink.

Lifting the veil on government

Publisher’s Column

Always a first time

A

ince we started publishing the Vermont Watchdog Report last year, the Eagle has received a smattering of complaints about the Montpelier-based investigative news feature.

While we appreciate feedback from readers, our Watchdog critics tend to be from the Ò we-neverread-or-support-the-Eagle” rank and file—we know them: a small, highly partisan gang who pontificate about how they donÕ t read the Eagle, yet stoop to send us scolding letters, now and then, just to wax superior.

More tellingly though, they really donÕ t like it when their sideÕ s shenanigans in government are exposed for all to see.

We applaud the reporters of Vermont Watchdog.org, and are proud to be one of the few newspapers here which publishes this groundbreaking Internet venture.

We wish more local newspapers would carry the works of Vermont WatchdogÕ s Bruce Parker, et al., in a weekly mission to expose what certain elected state officials would rather have us all ignore.

The rise of so-called Watchdog reporting marks a return to the good old days of journalism, when news organizations didnÕ t have their social reputations invested in a horse in the political race and elected (and appointed) government officials, of both parties, were fair game for fine art of the reporter’s expose.

VermontÕ s Bruce Parker has reported on the nefarious state carbon tax plan among other taxpayer issues. A recent out-of-state example of Watchdog journalism is a case in point on the topic: Determined reporting by Paul Muschick, a Watchdog journalist based at the Morning Call Newspaper in Allentown, Pa., has revealed the tip of a deep and slippery iceberg at HUDÑ it demonstrates what most of had already suspected: our federal government believes its internal information isnÕ t suited for the eyes of the American people. In this example, Muschick played the role of, Ò Says who?Ó On Jan. 10, Muschick reported that Ò what the government didnÕ t want taxpayers to know is (that) there are serious weaknesses in data controls at Ginnie Mae, a government entity that plays an important role in the nationÕ s mortgage system.Ó Muschick came across a report about a U.S. Government audit which dared to declare that the contents of the report Ò would not be appropriate for public disclosure and has therefore limited its distribution to selected officials.”

Regarding MuschickÕ s Watchdog reporting: WeÕ re not talking about revealing national atomic or cyber secrets here; weÕ re taking about a journalist trying to get his hands on a copy of an accounting audit which showed severe problems about internal controls at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The problems, as Muschick soon learned, compromised “integrity, confidentiality, and availability” of Ginnie MaeÕ s management of the personal data of millions of American citizens.

Two contractors were the target of the FedÕ s secret audit, contractors that service Ginnie MaeÕ s vast mortgage portfolio. But then, just like the Irish cop on the downtown Boston beat, HUD officials said to Muschick, Ò ThereÕ s nothing to see here. Move along.Ó Eventually, Muschick obtained the federal audit through a Freedom of Information Act request, but what he received was a report so heavily redacted (blacked out with thick lines of marker ink) that there wasnÕ t much to read or understand, other than the word Ò weaknessesÓ appearing several times. Not exactly a victory for government accountability or freedom of the press, but it’s a start in a brave new world of official arrogance and secrecy. Ò The public deserves to know when government isnÕ t doing an adequate job of protecting data,Ó Muschick reported. Ò If the inspector general believed it was appropriate to provide me with a redacted version of the findings when I asked, there’s no reason it couldn’t have shared that information—what little isn’t blacked out—with everyone in the first place.”

The Eagle applauds the rise of 21st century Watchdog journalism regionally. By sharing their online work with a new audience of traditional newspaper readers, reporters such as VermontÕ s Bruce Parker and PennsylvaniaÕ s Paul Muschick are helping shed a spotlight on state and federal governments having have grown too fat, too haughty, to notice that the taxpayers are really the ones in the driverÕ s seat.

s kids we would ask mom, dad or a grand parent for a coin to throw in the wishing well.

They knew no matter how much money went into the well and no matter how hard we wished, the wish was never going to come true unless you shared your secret wish with them. But as a young child you had hope the toy or special wish just might magically appear someday.

Dan Alexander Fanciful wishes back then might be to wish for a million dollars, which in the early Thoughts from 1960Õ s was a kings ransom.

Behind the Pressline You donÕ t see many wishing wells today and when you do run across one frequently it no longer has water in it and appears obsolete.

But alas today we have the Powerball lottery which in many ways is really nothing more than todayÕ Õ s version of the old wishing well.

I broke down and purchased my very first lottery ticket last week for the ultra-hyper-slim chance upon chance that we might be lucky enough to win the $1.6 billion jackpot.

Ok, my wife and I went a little nuts we actually bought three tickets. For Christmas, our son and daughter-in-law put some scratch off tickets in our stockings and we apparently won $6. So why not push the whole enchilada back into the system and see if we could parlay our winnings into the big jackpot.

IÕ m sure we werenÕ t alone as the evening rolled along sharing thoughts on how we would use the funds.

Despite knowing beyond our wildest dreams it would never happen, just the thought that it could happenÉ causes one to start thinking. Thinking about family who would share in the loot, college funds that could be set aside, charities, communities, employees and many others that would benefit from a fortune that would be hard to exhaust.

All those positive dreams that millions were conjuring up in the days and hours before the drawing couldnÕ t help but spur everyone with a dream to think beyond themselves about the good things this money could do for so many more than just themselves.

If only wishes and dreams could come true think of all the joyful thoughts that were on the minds of the millions who took a chance and then just think how lucky we are to be alive. No matter how difficult our lives may be something as simple as a $2 dollar ticket can provide such fanciful thoughts for a few hours.

Now think about how better our world would be if we could all spend more time thinking about all the positive things we can do for our love ones, friends, charities and family with the blessings weÕ ve already been given to share. Perhaps weÕ ve missed the true mean of Ò Well WishesÓ and what a Ò Wishing WellÓ is really all about? letÕ s face it wishes do come true and hope is all we need to brighten a cynical world.

Boy Scouts work on their nuclear science merit badge projects which also include radon gas awarness. The Environmental Protection Agency has designated January as National Radon Action Month. Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer.

Hinesburg Boy Scout group works on radon-gas badge HINESBURG Ð Jeff Giroux is 17 years old and can say, backed

by Vermont Department of Health statistics, that he may have saved his neighborÕ s life.

Giroux, as part of his Boy Scout project to become an Eagle Scout, enlisted 15 volunteers and worked for a year to distribute as many free radon detection kits as possible. Giroux and his team hosted four events in Hinesburg, and made nearly 1,500 phone calls that resulted in the distribution of 140 radon kits. Ò My hope was that everyone I talked to would be interested, because this is a serious issue especially in Vermont,Ó Giroux said. Ò I told people, Ô ItÕ s free. There is no reason not to do it.Õ Ó January is Radon Awareness Month. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and cannot be seen, tasted, or smelled.

Giroux first learned of the dangers of radon through posters in the hallways at Champlain Valley Union High School.

“Your efforts will lead to significantly reduced lung cancer risk in those homes where elevated radon levels are detected and remedied,Ó Health Commissioner Harry Chen, M.D., wrote to Giroux on Dec. 14, 2015. Ò You have helped educate Vermonters about this largely overlooked health risk, and you have set a wonderful example through serving your community and helping others to protect themselves from harm.Ó Health Department Epidemiologist David Grass, estimates

that due to GirouxÕ s efforts, 17 homes with elevated radon levels will be identified and one case of lung cancer will be prevented.

One out of every eight homes in Vermont has elevated levels of radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes from soil and bedrock. Because radon levels can change daily, weekly and seasonally, a long-term test of 3 Ð 12 months (ideally including a heating season) is the best way to accurately test for the gas.

The Environmental Protection Agency has designated January as National Radon Action Month. Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, which results in 20,000 deaths annually. Risk for lung cancer is especially high for smokers exposed to high radon levels.

Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural decay of uranium found in most soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air and enters your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any homeÑ new or oldÑ may have a radon problem. High radon levels have been found in every state.

Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk. You can perform a test on your own or hire a radon test company. For homes or facilities found to have high radon levels, a qualified contractor should be consulted.

Quilters

From page 1 and New Jersey.

The formerly gun-toting quilters were at the Strong House Inn last week to conclude a therapeutic retreat of quilting.

Each year, Needle & Gun Club members reunite their creative passion to be spoiled in the process. Ò Every year we meet and make quilts here,Ó said quilter Karen Fink, of New Jersey, Ò and every year we donate quilts to an Addison County charity and elsewhere.Ó This New Year, the down-country quilters are donating dozens of beautiful works to the John Graham Shelter in Vergennes. The quilts will help keep families-in-need warm this winter and also serve as cheery dŽ cor for the ShelterÕ s vestibule.

Shelter Program Director Amy Kitteridge was speechless when she surveyed the quilts to be donated. Ò These are works of art,Ó she said.

Strong House Inn co-owner Mary Bargiel said the Needle & Gun Club members are annual retreatants to the bed and breakfast. The tradition began in 2001 with a prominent story highlighting the group in the New York Times. Ò They meet once a year here,Ó Bargiel said. Ò They come from Philly,

www.addison-eagle.com New Jersey, Maine, Georgia, even Florida.Ó At the back of the inn, quilters set up their sewing machinesÑ Singers and PfaffsÑ and zip away at assembling singularly stunning pieces of traditional American folk art. While the gray overcast of a January day cast a pall outdoors, the lady quilters were active and interacting with their various quilts-in-progress.

What these women make with their hands, they give with their hearts. Ò ItÕ s all in a dayÕ s work,Ó said quilter Karen Dever.

She said that the club will meet next in June in the Garden State, then back to Vergennes early next year.

And whatÕ s the target for the next Needle & Gun Club quilting match? Ò Our next charity is the Nurse Family Partnership of Philadelphia,Ó Dever said. “The program allows nurses to deliver the support firsttime moms need to have a healthy pregnancy, become knowledgeable and responsible parents, and provide their babies with the best possible start in life.Ó The clubÕ s product for the nurses? Baby quilts and velvety pillowcases fit for tiny kings and queens.

Maybe master quilter Eleanor Burns sums up the Needle & Gun ClubÕ s mission-statement best: Ò A bed without a quilt is like a winter sky without stars.Ó Sweet dreams.

voters. Ò In Vermont, IÕ m No. 1 by a lot Ñ 32 percent. IÕ m beating everybody,Ó Trump said at the opening of his speech Ñ one of many startling statements of the night.

TrumpÕ s claim, almost unimaginable for anyone following news reports ahead of the visit, was based on a little-known poll conducted in Vermont in late December that has Trump leading his closest GOP challenger by 11 points.

According to the telephone survey of 357 likely Republican primary voters, Trump leads the GOP field with 32 percent. His closest rivals are Marco Rubio, at 21 percent and Ted Cruz, at 15 percent. Ben Carson had 8 percent.

The results are similar to a Monmouth University poll of New Hampshire voters, released Monday, which has Trump in front with 32 percent of likely GOP primary voters. Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are tied for second place with 14 percent.

Garrison Nelson, political science professor at the University of Vermont, dismissed the Vermont poll but accepted mainstream polling on the New Hampshire primary. Ò Anybody with a telephone can claim to be a poll,Ó Nelson told Vermont Watchdog.

Commenting on TrumpÕ s lead next door in New Hampshire, he said, Ò Vermont and New Hampshire are not the same. They are not identical states and have not been since the founding of Vermont in 1791.Ó Nelson attributes TrumpÕ s lead in New Hampshire to showmanship, and to the large number of candidates in the GOP field. Ò The basic problem is the fact that there are too many Republicans in the race, with 16 opponents. So, consequently, theyÕ re fragmenting the vote, and therefore nobody was coalescing sufficiently in order to knock him off,” Nelson said. f Trump is leading in Vermont, it wouldnÕ t be the only shock poll released in recent weeks. A national survey by Washingtonbased Mercury Analytics found that 20 percent of likely Democratic voters would be willing to defect from their partyÕ s nominee and vote for Trump, and a Rasmussen survey found that 74 percent of likely Republican voters think Trump will be the GOP nominee.

TrumpÕ s ability to draw huge crowds Ñ 13,000 in Biloxi, Mississippi; 8,000 in lowell, Massachusetts Ñ has caught the attention of prominent liberals. This week, the Washington PostÕ s Eugene Robinson and Vice President Joe Biden claimed Trump could be the next president. Nation of Islam leader louis Far-

TrumpÕ s appearance in Burlington drew thousands of supporters and stirred pandemonium throughout the city. Managers at the 1,400-seat Flynn Center turned away large crowds, including many who stood all day in a line that stretched two blocks down St. Paul Street, wrapping around to Maple Street. While city police estimated the line at 2,000, individuals at the front third of the line told Vermont Watchdog the theater was near capacity when they got inside at 7 p.m.

The Week In Sports

MUHS girls lose to Milton

By Dominick Santa Maria MIDDlEBURY - The Middlebury Union High School Tigers girlsÕ basketball team fell in overtime to Milton High School, 44-41.

Middlebury started the game off slow, unable to connect on sloppy passes, and Milton capitalized off the Tiger turnovers. That sloppy start was quickly stanched, and Middlebury swung the momentum with low-post scoring and layups. The Tiger defense stepped up to force multiple turnovers of their own, but often fouled so Milton was able to keep the score a tight 12-7 at the end of the quarter.

Middlebury started the second quarter like they finished the first, with quick passes leading to inside buckets. The Tigers defense pestered the Milton ball-handlers, with Tiger guard Keagan Dunbar in particular getting steals and pushing the ball for transition scoring. Despite the amped-up defense the Tigers were not able to extend the lead, and they went into halftime leading by 5, for a score of 23-18.

Milton turned the game around in the third quarter, as they launched a 12-2 run to take the lead. Using the newfound momentum, MiltonÕ s defense suffocated the TigerÕ s offense; Middle-

bury was only able to hit one field goal and one free throw in the quarter. Middlebury still scrapped on defense, but were called for numerous fouls, which helped Milton lead 30-26 after three quarters of play.

Middlebury quickly ran off 6 points to start the fourth quarter, and tied the game at 32. Middlebury outscored Milton 11-7 in the quarter but the Tigers couldnÕ t stop fouling, and Milton was able to hit free throws to take the lead 3735 with time dwindling. The Tigers pushed the ball up court quickly, and were able to spring guard Riley Fenster open for the tying shot with just 6 seconds left in the quarter.

Milton took control of the contest in overtime, both on offense and defense. MiddleburyÕ s fouling problem boiled over, and Milton hit their free throws to outscore the Tigers 7-4 in the extra period, for a final score of 44-41.

Keagan Dunbar led Middlebury with 15 points, and forward Hannah Buttolph chipped in 9 points.

Rutland runs past Middlebury

By Dominick Santa Maria

MIDDlEBURY Ñ Rutland High School dominated the Middlebury Tigers boysÕ basketball team on Thursday night, winning by a score of 64-21.

Rutland was able to do whatever they pleased against the Middlebury Tigers, both on offense and defense. Rutland started the game off hot, running out to a 10-0 lead before Middlebury was able to find the bottom of the net. The Tigers couldn’t compete with Rutland’s stifling defense; The Red Raiders ran a fullcourt press that led to easy steals and easier points in transition against the trailing Tigers. The Tigers couldnÕ t help themselves, as they missed shots and were out-rebounded on almost every opportunity. Middlebury was able to score just twice, ending the quarter behind on the scoreboard 13-4.

As poorly as the first quarter went for the Tigers, the second was much worse. RutlandÕ s defense shut Middlebury down completely, as they held the Tigers scoreless in the quarter, outscoring them 22-0. The Red Raiders blocked numerous Tiger shots, and even when they werenÕ t able to block the shot Middlebury

was so worried about the defense that they rushed open looks.

Rutland led 35-4 at halftime.

After being held scoreless for almost the whole first half, Middlebury came out in the third quarter much more composed, and that helped them put some points on the scoreboard. The Tigers tightened up their passing, which was loose and sloppy in the first half. The better passing let Middlebury find players close to the basket and kick the ball back out to the open shooters; Tiger guard Ryan Miller hit back-to-back three pointers for a team high 6 points. This led to the Tigers scoring 12 points in the third quarter, the only period in which the Tigers scored more than 5 points. Rutland still outscored Middlebury 18-12 though, for a score of 53-16 leading into the fourth quarter.

The final quarter of play was much more in-line with the first half, as Middlebury was only able to score twice again. RutlandÕ s backups played for most of the quarter, and outscored the Tigers 11-5.

Middlebury girls take on Vergennes

By Dominick Santa Maria

VERGENNES Ñ In a matchup of speed versus size, the Middlebury Tigers came away with the victory, 43-35. led by the guard trio of sophomore Keagan Dunbar, junior lilia Smith, and junior Payton Buxton, MiddleburyÕ s perimeter defense was the deciding factor in the game. The first quarter saw Middlebury jump out to an 11-8 lead, as the Tigers forced multiple steals and used them to lead to transition offense. The Vergennes Commodores tried to fight back but couldn’t find a rhythm, due to foul trouble, as they held a 6-2 foul disadvantage in the first quarter.

The second quarter saw Middlebury start on a 5-0 run, all scored by Dunbar. Vergennes was able to cut the lead back down to three, as they forced the ball inside and scored on low post shots. The Commodores held a marked size advantage, and used it on every offensive possession. Middlebury closed out the half with a made three-pointer by Dunbar, who scored all eight Tiger points in the quarter, for a Middlebury lead of 19-16.

In the third quarter, the foul disadvantage swung to the Tigers, and this foul trouble forced Middlebury to a small lineup, consisting of all guards. This all-guard lineup pestered the Commodore ball-handlers leading to more steals and open jump shots on offense. With an even bigger size advantage, Vergennes countered by often just shooting over the top of MiddleburyÕ s smaller players.

MiddleburyÕ s small lineup outscored Vergennes by two points in the quarter, for a score of 30-25.

The Tigers started the final quarter of play strong, with an open three-pointer and back-to-back steals leading to fast break layups.

VergennesÕ game plan of pushing the ball down low paid off, as Middlebury couldnÕ t stop fouling; at one point the Tigers had eight more fouls than Vergennes. The Commodores were unable to hit key free throws though, and Middlebury finished the game ahead by eight points, for a final score of 43-35.

Dunbar’s 22 points led Middlebury, and Buxton also scored in double figures, contributing 11 points. Commodore senior Nikkilette Salley chipped in 15 points for Vergennes in the losing effort.

NIKITA 5 Year Old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair. Torti.

I have lived with other cats and I enjoy being pet. Since being here at RCHS, I have been a little uneasy but it is clear I still enjoy being pet.

With a little time to settle, I will make a wonderful quiet cat for the right family. I may be a little shy but I want a home where I can come out of my shell. I am excited for many visits and hopefully soon I will be on a comfy couch worry free.

MAX 10 Year Old. Neutered Male. Domestic Short Hair. Brown Tabby.

I am Max and I am seeking a quiet home where I can be independent and feel safe. I have lived with dogs, cats and kids, but I was not fond of the dog. I am looking for a calm place where I can be the friendly guy everyone knows I can be. Here at RCHS, the staff has noticed that I am curious but cautious and that I like to be pet but can seem aloof at times.

Keep in mind I am getting older and have been through a lot of change.

Published by New Market Press, Inc. POCKETS Adult. Female. American Guinea Pig. Tri Color.

I am Pockets, and I am a well-rounded small animal that was brought to RCHS on Dec. 19. By looking at records, the staff can tell I am at least three years old. I was handled often, and I was around children of various ages. I can be active at night and the staff does think that I enjoy people. My tricoloring is very appealing, and I would make a great first pet or addition to a household that already has pets.

TASHA 5 Year Old. Spayed Female. Pit Bull.

IÕ m an adorable gal who is sweet and fun.

I love to give kisses so get ready for a few smooches if you come and visit me. I have unique markings which will be a topic of conversation with lots of oohing and ahhing. I love squeaky toys but have also been known to play with balls and plush toys, too. I enjoy being with people and getting lots of love and attention. lots of walks and hikes with my new family sound great to me. I like to snuggle and hang out with my favorite people.
