Winter storm "Euclid" dumps snow on Vermont By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — ”Double trouble” was the term Zubrin Tree Service lineman Mike Zubrin used to describe the second of two winter storms to hammer Vermont. O’Hara, who was removing a snowladen pine that took down a power line to a house on private Valmont Drive in Leicester, said the Dec. 27 snow storm was the flip side of a vicious wind storm that hit the area Dec. 21. “The world may not have ended as the ancient Mayans predicted Dec. 21,” he said, “but storms Dec. 21 and Dec. 27 have me thinking they must have been thinking about us.” In less than a week after restoring power to more than 34,000 customers, Green Mountain Power storm managers, line workers and support staff were back it again— this time scrambling to greet Winter Storm Euclid, the U.S. Weather See EUCLID, page 8

newmarketss@denudes.coma MIDDLEBURY — Four motor vehicles, including an 18-wheel tractor-trailer rig, were involved in a Route 7 accident near the Middlebury-Salisbury line Dec. 21.
The driver of a dump truck, which was impacted by the rig, died. Driver Pierre Bioclean, of Whiting, was 50. Wind gusts during the time of the accident reached over 70 miles per hour. Trees and power lines were down and large sections of Addison County were without power.

Charles Kelsey acknowledged the current crisis facing children in many small rural communities in Vermont.
SPRINGFIELD — Charles Kelsey is aware that when it comes to Vermont’s children, many small, rural communities are in crisis. Kelsey is president of the Board of Trustees of Kurn Hattin Homes for Children in Vermont. “The societal issues we face that impact children today are acute—certainly in the northeast, and in the world. Kurn Hattin is directly impacted by those trends,” Kelsey said at Kurn Hattin’s annual board meeting recently. “We may not talk about it much, and the trauma of some of the children’s upbringing is often invisible, but it has scarred them for life. In trying to undo some of that, we have teachers and staff dealing with their tears and frustrations in an incredible way. This organization needs to go on existing in order to service those needs, to provide access to as many as we can,” he added. Kelsey, who also serves as vice president of resident life at Riverwoods in Exeter, N.H., was officially sworn in as board chair man at Kurn Hattin’s 117th annual meeting. Kelsey said the mounting need for expanded children’s See KELSEY, page 8
