Narjarian death: Holly Gonyeau faces lesser charge Black Sheep Bistro

Remembering restaurant owner Chef Michel Mahe VERGENNES — Vermont restaurant owner Michel Mahe died July 21, 2015. He was the son of a popular French chef in New York, N.Y. Mahe moved to Vermont in 1999 to open a string of popular, award-winning restaurants. In Addison County, he opened Starry Night Café, in North Ferrisburgh, followed by the Black Sheep Bistro in Vergennes, and the Bobcat Café in Bristol, which he later sold to employees. In Chittenden County, he opened the Bearded Frog in Shelburne. Before relocating to Vermont Mahe learned the restaurant business in Manhattan at the Gotham Bar & Grill, Michael’s, and elsewhere. During the early 1990s, Mahe served as the food and beverage director of the Interpacific Group, based in San Francisco, Calif. He traveled extensively, servicing Interpacific’s operations in Hawaii, Southeast Asia, and other locales in the Pacific Rim. At the height of his career, Mahe employed 79 restaurant workers in Addison and Chittenden counties.

Dennis Smith will co-coach Maple Sugar Bowl

MUHS Coach Dennis Smith, pictured in 2014, will co-coach the Maple Sugar Bowl in Castleton on Aug. 1.

CASTLETON — Seventy-two of the finest high school football players from New Hampshire and Vermont will begin practicing for the 62nd Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl. It will be a week when strong legs run so that weak legs may someday walk. The summer’s classic will be played on Saturday, Aug. 1 on Castleton’s Spartan Field. Starting last weekend, double sessions will be the order of the day for both teams. Both head Coaches, Greg Gush of Campbell High School and Dennis Smith of Middlebury High School; have stressed the importance for their players to be in good physical condition when reporting to camp. The two teams will be headquartered at Castleton State College for seven days before playing there in the Bowl Game. Remember, Dartmouth Memorial Stadium is undergoing renovations and is unavailable. On July 28, Castleton hosted a local media day complete with Shrine Hospital patients,

where the two teams learned the real meaning of Shrine football. On game day, there will be a parade starting at 3 p.m. featuring units from Shrine Centers throughout New England, Eastern Canada and New York. Also featured will be an all-star high school band made up of over 80 musicians from high schools in both states and cheerleaders for both teams. Kick-off for the Shrine Bowl is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., as it was last year. The Maple Sugar Bowl Game is sponsored by the Cairo Shriners of Rutland and Mt. Sinai Shriners of Montpelier. General Admission tickets for the Bowl Game are on sale at outlets throughout New Hampshire and Vermont for $10. On Game Day tickets will be priced at $15. Tickets are also available through the Shrine Football Office, P.O. Box 820, Lebanon, N.H. 03766 or by calling 603-448-1042. Tickets can also be purchased on line at the SMSB website at shrinemaplesugarbowl.com.
