Krohn, town agree to exit arrangement MIKE DONOGHUE CORRESPONDENT

Shelburne Town Manager Lee Krohn said this week he plans to keep laboring hard for the community as he works out the 17 months’ notice that his contract requires for him to end his employment with the town.

Selectboard Chair Michael Ashooh said the town’s three-year contract with Krohn mandated both sides settle by July 1 whether either party did not want to extend the agreement when it expires on Nov. 30, 2023.

Krohn announced to town staff as the Shelburne News went to press last week that the two sides had reached a mutual agreement before the July 1 deadline that they would go their separate ways in 17 months.

“There is no intent for an immediate change; and a mutually respectful transition plan that serves everyone’s best interests will be formulated. In the meantime, the Selectboard and Town Manager are committed to continuing to work together to serve our community as effectively and productively as possible,” Krohn’s statement said in part.

The five-member Selectboard did not issue a statement.

Krohn, who is 64, will be 66 by the time the contract expires.

Krohn said there is still work to be done but he is proud of many things the town has undertaken in recent years.

“We have created a calmer and more See KROHN on page 13

Shelburne Craft School wrangles bats, bees and birds Fundraising campaign seeks help buying new windows AVALON STYLES-ASHLEY STAFF WRITER

Colin Graybuck saw something fluttering out of the corner of his eye as he walked into the clay studio at Shelburne Craft School.

“Very quickly I could tell there was something wrong,” Graybuck said. A craft school teacher, he had come in early to open up the studio. “At first, I thought it was a

moth. Finally, I heard the wings flapping and thought, ‘Oh, there is a bird in here.’

Then I realized that’s not a bird.”

It was a bat. One of the larger bats Graybuck has seen in Vermont.

“It took me about five minutes to shoo it out the door,” he recalled laughing.

Bats, birds, bees, chipmunks, mosquitos and even a marmot have wandered their way into the Shelburne Craft School clay studio over the years. The culprit? Some

beautifully large but terribly insulated, screenless windows.

After dealing with a myriad of creatures creeping in during the summer and wearing long underwear in the winter, one of the clay studio students Joannah Ralston decided to do something about the windows.

“It’s just not really conducive to a good learning environment when you have to stop and shoo the bees out,” Ralston said.

Curtain restoration project is complete By now, you may have noticed that a new set of curtains hangs in Shelburne Town Hall.

The original curtains were installed in 1927 when Electra Havemeyer Webb presented the building to the town in memory of her father. Those curtains were replaced at least twice. The last set, installed in 1994, was taken down during the recent renovation and not reinstalled due to extensive sun damage over the years.

This spring, after initial consultation with resident Celia Oliver, a specialist in historic window treatments, Gabriela McCormick of Great Oak Interiors in Peru, N.Y., under the watchful eye of the Shelburne Historical Society, designed, fabricated and installed the new curtain panels for all 10 of the 10-foot-high windows and four 5-foot-high windows. The project required 140 yards of Shantung fabric and 140 yards of off-white black-out lining.

On inspection of the 95-yearold window arches, McCormick discovered that all but three of the original eyes were still in place and the curtains were constructed to be hooked directly to the eyes. Like the originals, the new curtains are of gold-colored fabric, sized and pleated to

fit inside the window frames from the top of their arched frames to the sills.

Unlike the originals, the new curtains have UV-resistant opaque linings to protect the fabric and, when closed, allow the hall to be darkened for meetings, movie, plays and presentations.

Like the town clock restoration last year, this project was made possible solely through donations to the Shelburne Historical Society and to the town

by David Webster, Dorothea and Paul Penar, David and Cynthia Bovat, Rod Durrell, Ann Hogan and Marc Vincent, Alex Nalbach, H. Calvelli & Filler, Lee Sheridan-Orr, William and Joanna Wright, Jeffrey and Amanda Herzberger, Joan Madison, and Natalie Hall.

After two weeks of fundraising, the entire $14,906 to pay for the project had been contributed.

Finally, after years of dormancy due to construction and ensuing pandemic, town hall is ready and waiting for many days and evenings of community-based activities of all kinds, thanks to our citizens’ kind donations and efforts by members of the historical society, the Historic Preservation and Design Review Commission and the Pierson Library board of trustees.

Richmond chief joins Shelburne police MIKE DONOGHUE CORRESPONDENT

The town of Shelburne has picked up a 20-year police veteran to fill one of its many vacant patrol spots.

Kyle Kapitanski, who has served for the past year as the Richmond police chief, has submitted his resignation and will join Shelburne Police July 18.

Shelburne police chief Michael Thomas said Kapitanski will become the eighth full-time officer in the department, which continues to rebuild the rank and file after numerous departures in recent years.

Kapitanski began as a part-time deputy for the Rutland County Sheriff’s Department in January 2002. He moved to Hartford police in May 2005 and attended the Vermont Police Academy to become certified as a full-time officer. After six years on the job, he moved to Randolph police for

almost one year, and then served with Berlin police from 2012 to 2015, Thomas said.

He was hired as lieutenant and chief deputy for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, where he served from 2015 to 2019, and was promoted to captain. Richmond hired him as a patrol sergeant, second in command, in August 2019. He was later named interim police chief and received the permanent post in June 2021.

Kapitanski, 38, said the new union contract for Shelburne Police made it lucrative to make the jump.

He said he will be making more to start, and the town has a higher pay scale for future years.

“I’ve got a lot of time left,” he said. He said as a chief in a small department he was expected to patrol the roads so not much will change in Shelburne.

Kapitanski said he has enjoyed his time in Richmond, but in the See POLICE DEPARTMENT on page 11

and those in marginalized and low-income communities, who already face barriers to health care thanks to the same people who take our rights, will suffer the most from this heinous Supreme Court decision. So too will people with disabilities and transgender individuals. And, if that’s not enough, women with medically dangerous pregnancies will die. If you’re unsure about that, read what the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has to say about abortion and the treatment for ectopic pregnancies.

Oh, the fairytale that this ruling is all about the sanctity of life. Were that true, it’d mean that those who have hijacked a woman’s bodily autonomy would make it their mission to care about the children who come from those fetuses, right? They’d never allow schoolchildren to be slaughtered because it’s more important they have access to firearms, right? They wouldn’t endorse an immigration policy that puts children in cages, right?

They’d behave as if the lives of women matter and create legislation that feeds children and takes responsibility for the most vulnerable among us, right? And,

certainly, they’d lead in such a way that over a million Americans wouldn’t have had to die from this pandemic. Wouldn’t these be caring for the sanctity of life?

The consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade get more heartbreaking by the day. A 10-year-old rape victim, forced to travel across state lines to have an abortion, went from Ohio to Indiana, where they’re also likely to ban the procedure.

Many states’ bans contain no exceptions for rape or incest survivors. I am an incest survivor and I’m brought to my knees knowing that our government sanctions forced birth. Let one man experience the terror of abuse and see how policy would change.

In the current polarized political landscape, it’s essential to remember that the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade was written by a lifelong Republican and that five of the seven justices who made the case for choice in 1973 were Republican appointed.

Even Reagan, when governor, signed into law one of the broadest abortion laws in the nation.

And federal funding for family planning programs was part of

George H. W. Bush’s landmark legislation, Title X. Polls show the majority of Americans did not want Roe v.

Wade overturned. So, who is leading this attack? I see mostly men, in power, using the faux cloak of “pro-life” and Christianity as their rallying call, all while dismantling democracy.

What’s next on their agenda?

Justice Clarence Thomas advocates the court reconsider rescinding other rights, such as same-sex marriage and access to birth control. The canary is getting louder.

Of course, we women must continue to fight injustices while being aggressed against. A time unhonored oppressive truth. I ask all men who have women in their lives to actively stand against the atrocity of this ruling. To care about this injustice with as much fervor as if they took away your inalienable rights.

Because they will.

No conspiracy: Religious just oppose abortion To the Editor: Walter Amses unfairly accuses those he opposes as liars, sexists and segregationists rather than presenting rational arguments supporting his position.

(“Evangelical big lie: Welcome to Christian America,” July 7, 2022) In the last decades of the 20th century, Southern Democrats, not organized religion, were the main proponents of segregation, opposing the 1964 Civil Rights Act, for example. The Republican Senate minority — many of them Christians — was key in securing passage of the legislation that ended segregation in America.

Amses goes on to say, “what voters want is fast becoming immaterial to the U.S. Supreme Court.” Really? The Supreme Court is mandated under Article III powers to interpret the Constitution regardless of popular opinion, not because of it.

The Supreme Court decided that a woman might be afforded the right to abortion by statute, but not by the U.S. Constitution. If the national consensus is as unified against this opinion as he implies, opponents could initiate a constitutional amendment to settle the issue once and for all. It is doubtSee LETTERS on page 6

Lyons co-sponsored Prop 5, the constitutional amendment for reproductive liberty, supports the Global Warming Solutions Act, the bottle bill and the clean heat standard bill and continues to advocate for placing a price on carbon.

Kesha Ram Hinsdale’s legislative record proves her grasp of the related crises of climate change and environmental degradation. She co-authored the recently passed environmental justice law and is a vocal supporter of measures that would increase our resilience to climate change, including a just transition for home heating fuels, establishment of a civilian climate corps and critical investments in electric grid hardening.

Ram Hinsdale supports numerous pending pieces of legislation focused on similar issues, including a Senate bill (S. 234) that would prevent the dismantling of Act 250, a House bill (H.715) to establish a clean heat standard, and a House bill (H.175) to expand Vermont’s bottle bill.

She is a champion for human health, co-sponsoring a bill that was passed by the Senate to restrict dangerous consumer product chemicals, including the notorious group of chemicals known as PFAS. Likewise, she is committed to workable strategies for reducing contamination of our rivers and lakes with agricultural and other forms of pollution.

Ram Hinsdale recognizes that Vermont’s housing crisis is intertwined with the environmental crisis, co-authoring a bill (S.226) that calls for transit-oriented, inclusionary housing in neighborhood development areas, in addition to grants for first-generation homebuyers and repairs for mobile homes to help increase and sustain our workforce while preserving our remaining natural resources. If re-elected, she would work to restore blighted properties in downtowns and village centers while preserving essential green space.

country will continue to oppose abortion, pointing out the hypocrisy of such perspectives. People like Amses will have to do better than a vacuous conspiracy of the religious right canard to convince me differently.

Conference of the United Church of Christ, we oppose the Dobbs decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

We believe that God is the creator of all living beings and things, and that all human beings are created with the gift of free will and are of equal value.

We believe that all people have a right to determine what one does with one’s own body, recognizing the difficult and painful yet life-supporting and sustaining necessity in making the decision to have an abortion.

This is a statement rooted in our Christian faith that opposes any policy, precedent, statement or law that limits a human being’s right to bodily autonomy, determination, dignity and respect.

Therefore, we stand with all women and people who can become pregnant in their right to choose, as we continue as followers of Jesus Christ, children of God, and members and friends of the Vermont Conference of the United Church of Christ to actively work together to answer our Christian call to love one another.

OBITUARIES

Summer music in Shelburne

continued from page 3 LaSalle Academy. He attended St. John’s University when it was composed of two buildings in Brooklyn and earned his undergraduate and law degrees there.

After graduation, Jim worked for Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., but jumped at the opportunity to work for the U.S. Department of Justice, where he tried cases in the tax division.

He spent time in the department’s St. Louis and Chicago offices, where he did the work he loved and established lifelong friends and colleagues. Despite transitioning back to corporate law early in his career, Jim regularly talked about how much he valued his experience with the federal government.

In 1969, Jim returned to work at Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., which later became KPMG, in Manhattan as a manager and worked his way up to partner, eventually working in the firm’s general counsel’s office. He also served on the board of directors at KPMG. Throughout his career, Jim was fascinated by tax law and loved his work. At KPMG, he also formed lifelong friendships and had many wonderful lunches at places like P.J. Clarkes and The Palm, where he engaged in two of his favorite pastimes: having great conversations and eating really good food. Treasuring his friendships, Jim attended reunions of his high school classmates, law school friends and KPMG partners for years Jim loved to reminisce about his childhood in Brooklyn and adored his younger brother, Daniel, and older sister, Rosemary.

With other kids in the neighborhood, they played street games like punchball and stickball, and lots of basketball, and tried to stay out of trouble.

In 1964, Jim married Ann Eigabroadt and they had two children, Kathleen and Patrick. In 1970, the family settled in Old Greenwich, Conn. Jim set down roots there and in Riverside that lasted more than four decades. Jim and Ann divorced in 1977.

Jim coached Little League base-

ball for many years and enjoyed playing in tennis and bowling leagues. He could be found on his well-earned days off by the water’s edge at his beloved Tod’s Point, looking out on the Long Island Sound and reading his newspapers.

He also enjoyed running at the Point for many years.

Jim was an incredibly generous person who wanted to help others in any way he could. His Catholic faith was very important to him and got him through difficult times.

He had a great sense of humor, loved telling stories and was fond of saying, “A story doesn’t have to be true to be good,” suggesting that he may have exaggerated at times.

There was nothing more important to Jim than family, and he adored spending time with his brother, Danny, sister-in-law Rosemary, and their four children, Kevin, Bridget, Kathleen and Matthew in Rockville Centre, N.Y., and his sister, Rosemary, brother-in-law George, and their four children, Patricia, Daniel, Maureen and Kevin in Falls Church, Va. He was predeceased by his sister, Rosemary and brother-inlaw, George. For years, Jim and Danny had an annual tradition of meeting for a drink at Christmastime at P.J. Clarke’s on 3rd Avenue.

When their children were old enough, they happily joined this festive gathering.

Jim relocated to Vermont in 2013 to be closer to his daughter, Kathleen Kennedy, her husband Eric Brunvand, and their daughters, Shay and Delaney Brunvand; and his son, Patrick and his three children, Sean, Sam and Maggie Kennedy.

Jim loved having family dinners and picking up Patrick’s children from school and sports practice; he was a dedicated father and grandfather. In 2018, he moved to St. Joseph’s Residential Care Home in Burlington, where he received excellent care and was valued by the staff who worked there.

Jim spent the last few weeks of his life at the McClure Miller Respite House and his family could not be more grateful for the personalized care he was given.

Pebbles, puppies found safe and sound Thanks to local press coverage and public assistance, the South Burlington Police Department has located Pebbles and her 12 puppies.

Pebbles was reported stolen June 2 when her owners came out of Petco on Williston Road to find

her missing.

South Burlington police said the people earlier described as “persons of interest” believed the dog had been abandoned and Pebbles was eventually brought to a foster family, where she gave birth. The foster cared for the dogs

until seeing the news release.

South Burlington Animal Control assisted during the investigation and said the dogs were well cared for.

Contact local police or animal control if you find an animal in need, police say.

Sheriff’s department warns of phone scam The Chittenden County Sheriff’s Department is warning of a phone scam where someone is impersonating one of its deputies.

“Multiple residents have reported getting calls from Det. Sgt. Brian Welch about missing jury duty. While Sgt. Welch is a deputy in our department, he nor any other representative of the

sheriff’s department would reach out via phone,” according to a press release.

According to the reports, the “deputy” told them they could pay for their outstanding warrant over the phone with gift cards.

The department reminds the public to hang up the phone when getting such calls, and not provide

any personal information such as date of birth, social security number or credit card information.

The sheriff’s office would never ask for money for any reason and urges people to report these incidents to the Vermont Attorney General’s Office at 800-649-2424 or 802-656-3183. Contact the sheriff at 802-863-4341 with questions.

continued from page 1 this summer to buy new windows for the craft school, in the hopes that the bees and bats will stay outside for good.

They’ve raised about 30 percent of their goal, $10,200, which includes material and installation costs, but they are still looking for help from the community beyond the craft school as they approach their August deadline.

“I’ve had experiences with birds getting confused and flying in through the windows. All activity stops and we try to teamwork to get the birds to go out. Sometimes we’ll get huge bees coming in who just get really confused because they can’t figure out how to get out, so we’ll have a little team trying to coax them out. It’s pretty comical actually,” she said.

Aside from the critters, the lack of insulation adds considerable strain to the building’s efficiency and makes clay time in the winter an icy activity, she added.

When the heat is on, the temperature in the studio is nice, Murphy added, but it seeps out so quickly that she usually wears long underwear and keeps her boots on during winter months.

continued from page 10 “If you’re there for more than a couple hours your feet freeze.

I have some students who never take their coats off,” she said.

Constructed in the early 1940s as bunk houses for railroad workers, the Shelburne Craft School has offered hands-on education in arts and crafts, from pottery and woodworking to weaving and painting, at its Harbor Road location for decades.

In many of the craft school’s early classes, students learned how to build the buildings that became their classrooms.

But after close to 70 years, there’s not much life left in the giant single-pane windows — the few that open cannot be locked or closed all the way due to rust,

Ralston said, even though their grandeur allows for beautiful natural light.

Graybuck isn’t too attached to the historic windows, noting that not everything that’s old is worth keeping. Especially if it’s broken enough to be a drain on heating costs and a home for wandering critters.

“I’m really excited to get some upgrades to the windows. They will be really appreciated by all the teachers and students,” he said.

Community support for the upgrade is filtering in slowly, both Joannah and Murphy noted, but they hope when more people hear about their campaign, they’ll pitch in.

The craft school is open to

everyone, those who’ve thrown pottery before and those whose closest encounter with clay has been watching Patrick Swayze in the movie “Ghost.” The fall programming schedule, which features beginners and advanced classes on an array of art subjects, was just recently published and can be viewed at the craft school or on their website, Murphy added.

Some standing classes include a monthly paint and sip class and a monthly clay happy hour.

arrested teen, police said. The incident was captured on four bodyand dash-cam police videos.

State police completed an outside review of the case and forwarded its findings to Chittenden County State’s Attorney Sarah George in the spring. George had said she preferred state police make a recommendation, “rather than it

being sent as a review,” according to earlier reporting.

George has not made any decision to close or pursue the case.

There are still five vacant spots for full-time police officers in Shelburne. Vermont State Police continue to respond to major emergencies between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. each day, Thomas said.

long run it also is about providing for his family, which includes a wife and two daughters and a few animals.

“I am looking forward to getting started. I expect to be part of the community,” Kapitanski said. He said he hopes to move from Randolph to Shelburne but finding an affordable home has been difficult.

In Richmond, Kapitanski developed a plan to buy a Tesla as a cost-saving measure for patrol work.

The Vermont Army National Guard honored Kapitanski with the Patriot Award last month. Adj. Gen. Greg Knight presented the award for Kapitanski’s personal support for civilian soldiers.

Thomas said Kapitanski will add experience, much like two veteran officers that recently moved from Hinesburg Police to Shelburne. The chief said officer Matt Denis, a retired state police detective, also recently petitioned to move from part-time to full-time status.

Another recent hire, Armin Harabasic, is working full time.

He is certified as a part-time officer but will attend the 16-week course for full-time certification at the Vermont Police Academy starting in August.

The chief said he was still awaiting word about Cpl. Jon Marcoux, who was placed on paid leave during an investigation into his handling of a teenage girl whose mother reported she had stolen a car on Jan. 23. Area departments were alerted and Marcoux later stopped the car, took the driver into custody, and recovered the car.

No complaint was filed, but Marcoux filed the standard “response to resistance” department form for dealing with the

CROSSWORD

ARIES

LEO

March 21 - April 20 Try not to question the mysteries of the universe right now, Aries. Unconventional vibes are coming your way, which may lead you on some bizarre, yet enjoyable journeys.

TAURUS

July 23 - Aug. 23 Leo, advocate and negotiate for yourself as much as you can in the days to come.

You can’t expect anyone to promote yourself better than you can.

VIRGO

April 21 - May 21 Don’t believe everything you read on social media, Taurus.

Some strange information is coming in and you have to weed through misinformation to make some smart choices.

GEMINI

Aug. 24 - Sept. 22 Give yourself a break, Virgo.

You have been putting your nose to the grindstone for so long, you deserve an opportunity to enjoy the lighter side of life for a bit.

LIBRA

May 22 - June 21 There may be surprises around the workplace this week, Gemini. A supervisor could act out of sorts and the momentum may be a bit erratic. Ride out this unsettling wave.

CANCER June 22 - July 22 You have a sensitive and compassionate demeanor, Cancer. Unfortunately, this can make you vulnerable. Keep a few tough friends in your corner.

Sept. 23 - Oct. 23 Your responsibilities are at an all-time high right now, Libra.

That means you are in much demand. Pick and choose your projects because your schedule is packed.

SCORPIO Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Scorpio, celebrate yourself this week. You deserve some recognition and celebration just for being you, and what better person to initiate it than yourself?

SUDOKU Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You may have a sudden urge to get organized at home or at the office, Sagittarius.

Spend ample time sorting and cleaning out the clutter. You’ll be more productive for your efforts.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Light banter is the name of the game for conversation this week, Capricorn. Avoid any topics that can be deemed controversial or lead to confrontation.

AQUARIUS Jan. 21 - Feb. 18 Appreciate the world around you, Aquarius. It’s easy to get fixated on what is going wrong. Instead, be grateful for all of the things that are going right.

PISCES Feb. 19 - March 20 Good vibes are heading your way, Pisces. Cosmic energy continues through your sign, articulating visions of future ambitions.
