Champs, once again

South Burlington’s House candidates win unopposed

COREY MCDONALD AND LIBERTY DARR

STAFF WRITERS

Tuesday night’s election was a historic one for Vermont, as well as a relatively predictable one for South Burlington, where voters elected all four of its newcomer candidates — and a lone incumbent — to the Statehouse in uncontested elections, while also reelecting the district’s three incumbent state senators.

Kate Nugent was elected to South Burlington’s Chittenden 10 district, the seat vacated by 10-year

incumbent Rep. Maida Townsend; Brian Minier will take over for the seat vacated by Rep. John Killacky in Chittenden 11; Emilie Krasnow was elected to South Burlington’s Chittenden-9 District, succeeding Rep. Ann Pugh; and incumbent Martin LaLonde won reelection to the Chittenden 12 House seat.

“I’m really honored to represent my South Burlington friends and neighbors in Montpelier,” Krasnow said. “I am very grateful to everyone who encouraged me to run and supported me. I can’t wait to start advocating for our district when the session starts

in January.”

Noah Hyman, meanwhile, was elected to Chittenden County’s newest district, Chittenden 8.

“I would like to thank the people of South Burlington and Williston for spending so much time with me talking and helping me to get to know you all,” Hyman said. “I am looking forward very much to serving for you all in Montpelier. I’m very excited to get to work for you.”

In the reapportioned Chittenden County’s Southeast Senate district, meanwhile, incumbents Thomas Chittenden, Virginia

Lyons and Kesha Ram Hinsdale cruised to easy victories against two Republican challengers — Rohan St. Marthe and Dean Rolland.

Chittenden garnered 6,669 votes, Lyons 6,002 and Hinsdale 5,498, while their opponents, Rolland and St. Marthe, garnered 1,900 and 1,418 votes, respectively.

Voters also approved a several ballot items, including whether the town should join a communications union district to try and bring broadband to unserved and underserved homes in the area.

South Burlington’s 7,490 yes votes, compared to 832 against, means the town will form its own district to operate as a municipal entity to build and deliver highspeed internet. Communications union districts have become increasingly popular since 2015, when state legislators created the mechanism.

Nine districts in Vermont currently serve 208 member towns and more than half the state’s population. Meanwhile, voters in South

Police arrest woman wielding knife in break-in

Teilya Brunet, 34, of Burlington, was arrested for burglary and violating conditions of release after police say she broke into the Forest Street home where a former partner lived.

When South Burlington police arrived, they found the homeowners safely separated from Brunet.

The court-imposed conditions ordering Brunet not have contact with the partner after a July 2022 incident when Brunet struck her

partner in the head with a small sledge hammer.

On Nov. 4, officers found Brunet in the partner’s bedroom armed with a knife, and she eventually barricaded herself in the bedroom.

Crisis negotiators from the Burlington Police tried to communicate with Brunet for over three hours.

Burlington also deployed its emergency response vehicle and sent a small robot into the room with Brunet to ensure she had not hurt

herself.

That agitated her and still refused to surrender, police said. After spraying the room with pepper spray, Brunet emerged from a window.

Brunet was transported to University of Vermont Medical Center for evaluation and required no further treatment. She was held on $5,000 bail and lodged at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Center.

SoBu lands on final design for I-89 pedestrian bridge

$14.5millionprojectwillneedvoterapproval

COREY MCDONALD STAFF WRITER

The South Burlington City Council Monday night approved

the final design for a pedestrian bridge over I-89 — leaving the final say on financing the project through tax increment funding up to voters on Town Meeting Day.

The final design takes features from two of the three options preferred by people at several community workshops, and incorporates different elements from the sleeker, “modern design” with elements from the land bridge design, which would feature planting and earth works into the bridge.

The entire pathway will be accompanied by LED lighting “to provide security for the pathway users and an aesthetically pleasing effect at night,” project documents read.

“The bridge itself is intended to be a piece of art — the bright color, the architectural details — it has all been designed by an architect on our team so the bridge itself is acting as a piece of art,” said Aaron Guyette, project manager.

“This is really exciting,” said city council member Helen Riehle. “It’s very attractive and I think it’ll be a real attraction for our community.”

The $14.5 million East-West Crossing project, in the works

for several years now, will create a pedestrian and cyclist access bridge over I-89, connecting pedestrian pathways from the Staples Plaza and Quarry Hill residential area to the University Mall property — helping move pedestrians between Burlington and South Burlington without having

to cross off-ramps and on-ramps onto I-89.

“This will give people choices about how they want to travel, whether it’s for work or leisure,” said Ilona Blanchard, the city’s community development director and the project’s manager.

The city partnered with the Vermont Agency of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration on the project, and the project got a major boost in November 2021 when the city was awarded a $9.7 million federal transportation grant.

That grant will cover 67 percent of the cost, and the city will cover 30 percent using tax increment financing.

Tax increment financing is a tool that allows municipalities to take out debt to build public projects, then pay off the debt using future tax revenue from development built in a certain district.

Voters will have to approve the financing in March. The town will have a public meeting on the funding in December.

The remaining 3 percent, or roughly $500,000 of the cost, will have to be covered through other sources of funding.

Construction should begin sometime in 2025.

South Burlington boys’ soccer wins Division I state title

LAUREN READ CORRESPONDENT

Last season the South Burlington boys’ soccer team came just 30 seconds short of a state championship.

This year Hammad Ali — the only returning starter from last year’s squad — made sure that didn’t happen again.

Ali had two goals in the second half to lift South Burlington to the 2-1 win over Colchester to capture the Division I state championship on Sunday at Norwich University.

“We went to the finals a year ago and it was just really heartbreaking,” Ali said. “This year was really different. Everyone was underestimating us, but we proved everyone wrong. It feels amazing. Last year everyone was down on the ground. It was really sad, but this year I couldn’t feel happier.”

Ali’s first score of the game came just under eight minutes into the second half. Simon Cafiero got a loose ball as it headed for the end line and the senior centered it to a wide-open Ali, who put it into the back of the net.

The score tied the game at one apiece and South Burlington began to wear away at the Colchester defense.

“We switched up our formation at halftime to get a new look and the offense just answered,” said South Burlington goalkeeper Andrew Chandler. “The defense was clearing everything, and the offense was putting the ball back in the net.”

The breakthrough came with under 10 minutes remaining in regulation. A foul from 40 yards out earned South Burlington a free kick. Evan Richardson took the set piece and served a perfect ball into the box. Ali got his head on the pass and put it in to give the Wolves a 2-1 lead.

“(Ali) took our loss personally,” said South Burlington coach Adolphe Lumumba. “I’m like, don’t worry about it, you will score to win a medal. That’s what good players do. They score when you need them.”

Ali was the only returning

starter from a program that graduated 15 seniors last season. With a new squad, the Wolves surprised most with a 14-1-2 record and the top seed in the DI playoffs.

“It’s a brand new team, but the seniors did a good job of keeping them together and making sure we do what we’re supposed to do,” Lumumba said.

Last year’s loss in the title game — which came on a goal for Essex with just 30 seconds remaining in regulation — motivated the Wolves this season.

“Last year we came up 30 seconds short of winning the state title,” said Chandler. “To come back this year with all odds against us to get it done. I just can’t explain it, it’s fantastic.”

That motivation came in handy when the Lakers took the lead in the first half. Demunga Alfani took

a shot on Chandler (two saves), but the ball bounced around the box before coming to Ethan Gamelin, who deposited it in the net for a 1-0 lead.

“We know they are a first half team, so we had to make sure we control the strikers in the first half and then go back to our normal lineup and the normal formation in the second half,” Lumumba said. “They always score early. We made sure to keep them under check and go from there.”

The coach’s plan paid off. The Wolves took over in the second half, pushing the ball up the field with regularity before Ali found the equalizer and then the winner.

“We’re all brothers,” Ali said. “We’re all family and we all support each other off the field, on the field and whenever someone makes a mistake, we always pick ‘em up and that really showed in this game.”

It is the first DI state soccer title for the South Burlington boys since 2017 and eighth overall for the program.

field hockey team loses title game 2-1 in

LAUREN READ CORRESPONDENT

For three quarters on Saturday, the South Burlington field hockey team played a near-perfect Division I championship game at the University of Vermont.

But a late goal by No. 1 Champlain Valley sent the game to overtime and the Wolves’ season came to an end.

CVU won 2-1 in extra time to capture the state title for the first time in 14 years.

The Wolves came into the game Nov. 5 as defending champs and the No. 2 seed, looking to capture the program’s 13th state title.

“We are just fortunate to have great kids that are willing to work hard and they’re coachable,” coach Anjie Soucy said. “They buy into what we want to do and be respectful but play hard.”

South Burlington got off to a great start, striking for the 1-0 lead six minutes into the game.

overtime

Ella Maynard got her stick on a loose ball in front of the goal and tipped it up and past Champlain Valley goalkeeper Grace Ferguson.

Ava Goyette got an assist on Maynard’s tally.

That goal and the Wolves’ defense held up for the first three quarters, despite Champlain Valley’s 11 penalty corners.

But CVU broke through for the tying goal in the fourth quarter, with Claire Marcoe taking a pass from Emma Kim and depositing it in the back of the goal to tie the game at one.

South Burlington made a push late in the fourth quarter to grab the game winner but neither team could score in regulation and the championship game headed into overtime.

Just over two minutes into the first overtime, Miranda Oppenheimer scored to give Champlain Valley the state title.

South Burlington’s goalie Izzy Redzic finished with eight saves.

“The defense was clearing everything, and the offense was putting the ball back in the net.”

Aurora Singers perform Mozart’s ‘Requiem’

Aurora Chamber Singers of Vermont presents a performance with chorus and orchestra of Mozart’s “Requiem” on Saturday, Nov. 12, 7:30 p.m. at Burlington’s College Street Congregational Church.

“Requiem” was written in 1791, during the last days of Mozart’s life and is a monument of classical choral music. Mozart’s musical and dramatic genius animate the fear of death and heartfelt consolation in this work of grieving, mourning and healing that is based on the ancient words of the Mass for the dead.

Opening the program are contrasting settings of secular words by Metastasio. The nocturnes are songs of love, lust, betrayal and reconciliation set to Mozart’s music.

Aurora Chamber Singers is a group of 60 singers and musicians under the direction of David Neiweem. Tickets are available through sevendaystickets.com or at the door.

Burlington approved a $22 million bond, 3,023 for and 550 against, for the Chittenden Solid Waste District to build a new state-ofthe-art recycling facility.

The current facility in Williston serves every town in Chittenden County but is wildly over capacity, processing 48,000 tons of materials in a facility equipped to handle only 25,000 tons a year.

History made

Vermont voters made a historic first thiselection cycle, sending a woman to Congress for the first time in state history in an election that saw more than 165,000 ballots cast before polls even opened on Tuesday.

Becca Balint, the president pro tempore of the Vermont Senate, beat out five challengers for election to the U.S. House of Representatives.

She garnered 6,652 votes out of 8,790 cast in South Burlington.

Her win is unsurprising. Her only competition this time around, Liam Madden, revealed in October during WVMT’s talk radio program Morning Drive that he routed donations to his

own campaign through his family members to gain access to primary debates — a move some campaign finance experts say might be illegal.

Balint beat out her Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. Molly Gray, during the August Democratic primary.

U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, meanwhile, was declared the winner over a field of candidates almost as soon as the polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The Democrat will now serve in the U.S. Senate, replacing retiring Sen. Patrick Leahy.

“It’s been an incredible privilege to have served Vermont in the U.S. House for the past 16 years where I’ve worked to bring the ‘Vermont Way’ of mutual respect, civility, and finding common ground to Washington, D.C.,” Welch said in a release. “I am ready to bring that approach and get to work on Day One in the Senate to address the urgent challenges we face — higher prices hurting our working families, a climate in crisis, reproductive rights under threat, and an imper-

iled democracy.”

Republican Gov. Phil Scott, meanwhile, garnered enough votes for a fourth term as Vermont governor. Scott handily beat back a challenge from Democrat Brenda Siegel in what some operatives and pundits said would be a close race.

Vermont voters approved an amendment, commonly referred to as Proposal 5, to enshrine “personal reproductive autonomy” — including the right to choose or refuse abortion, contraception or sterilization — in the state Sonstitution. In South Burlington 7,387 residents voted to approve the amendment, while 1,319 voted against it.

“Across the country, in state after state, voters made it clear that they demand the freedom to make their own reproductive health care decisions,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.

“Vermonters today made history by approving Prop 5 and guaranteeing the explicit right to reproductive liberty for all in the state constitution.”

Local voters also approved Proposal 2, also known as Article 1, by more than 7,000 votes. The amendment was meant to clarify language on Vermont’s prohibition on slavery and indentured servitude. Vermont was the first state to abolish slavery, but

advocates say its current language allows for a loophole that permits forced labor by people convicted of certain crimes.

The rest of the statewide ballot saw David Zuckerman win election as lieutenant governor, Mike Pieciak for state treasurer; Sarah Copeland Hanzas for secretary of state; Doug Hoffer for auditor of accounts and Charity R. Clark for attorney general — all Democrats.

In Chittenden County Gregory J. Glennon won his race for probate judge, with Suzanne Brown and Connie Cain Ramsey winning for assistant judge, Sarah George for state’s attorney, Dan Gamelin for sheriff and Michael R. Major for high bailiff.

RABIES BAIT

continued from page 2

The week-long bait drop is a cooperative effort between Vermont and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services to stop the spread of the potentially fatal disease.

Rabies is a deadly viral disease of the brain that infects mammals. It is most often seen in raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats, but unvaccinated pets and livestock can also get rabies.The virus is spread through the bite of an infected animal or contact with its

saliva. If left untreated, rabies is almost always fatal in humans and animals. However, treatment with the rabies vaccine is nearly 100 percent effective when given soon after a person is bitten by a rabid animal.

So far this year, 23 animals in Vermont have tested positive for rabies, and 14 of those have been raccoons.

According to wildlife officials, rabid animals often show a change in their normal behavior, but you cannot tell whether an animal has rabies simply by looking at it. People should not touch or pick up wild animals or strays – even baby animals.
