Town logo contest has a winner
Board approves
new design
To paraphrase ancient Chinese philosopher
Lao Tzu: The journey of a multi-year rebranding campaign begins with a single new
logo.
That’s what the Town of Colchester now
has, having crowned resident Lindsay Colburn
as winner of the town’s logo contest. The
winning logo, which the town declined to
release because it is in draft form, was approved
in concept last week by the Colchester
Selectboard.
The town’s Economic Development
Department received about 20 submissions for
the contest as it begins a campaign to market
the town to potential visitors, residents and
business owners. The rebranding idea was
the top priority of an economic development
strategic plan produced for the selectboard by
a consultant last year. The board hired Kathi
Walker O’Reilly as economic development
director to implement the campaign as one of
her first tasks on the job.
In its current incarnation, the winning
logo depicts Lake Champlain, biking on the
Colchester Causeway, sailing and mountain
vistas. The selection committee — O’Reilly,
selectboard member Tom Mulcahy, a
Champlain College professor, the creative
director of a local public relations firm and the
owner of a local media company — deliberated
on the designs and chose the winner in a vote
that included Parks and Recreation Director
Glen Cuttitta and Town Manager Dawn
Francis.
“We had experts in the room and it was
a very lively conversation with lots of good
angles, and eventually we came to consensus,”
O’Reilly said. “Mountains and lakes — a lot of
(towns) can use that. Nobody has the causeway
but us, and that was one of the things (the
committee) really liked.”
Students in a communications class at the
Community College of Vermont will now take
on refining the logo as a class project before it
is finalized.
“Is this what we want? Is this representative
of Colchester?” Francis asked the board during
their meeting last Tuesday.
O’Reilly said the students will not only
refine the design, but also ensure that it is
scalable to fit a variety of media, from signs,
to letter heads, to web pages, to large outdoor
displays. A black-and-white version is also
necessary, she said.
O’Reilly also provided the board with
an overall update of the department since it
was revived with her hiring in August. The
department had been vacant for more than
a year after the resignation of its previous
director.
O’Reilly has worked closely with the
Colchester
Community
Development
Corporation, a group of local business owners,
meeting with them monthly and hosting events
like December’s legislative breakfast to hear

Thanks to the Snowzilla, warm
temps and helping hands
By ELSIE LYNN
The Colchester Sun
Colchester hosted its 31st Annual Winter Carnival last
weekend at the high school. The weekend kicked off with the
annual Talent Show on Friday evening.
This year judges were John Coon, the CHS theater director
and humanities teacher; Michelle Little, Owner of Studio 3;
and guest celebrity judge Ernest ‘E’Knock’ Phillips.
Events continued through Sunday with face painting, a
pancake breakfast hosted by the Lion’s Club, laser tag, chair
massages, henna tattoos, a costume contest, horse drawn hay
rides, pony rides, caricatures, arts and crafts, an inflatable
obstacle course, a photo booth, a chili contest, balloon animals,
a family swim at the St. Michael’s College pool, open skate
time at Leddy Park and of course lots of good carnival food.
Colchester Parks & Recreation Program Coordinator
Jennifer Turmel said this was one of Colchester’s most
successful carnivals. “Thank goodness the weather held out
for us,” she said after the festivities ended on Monday. A nice
42 degrees brought many families outdoors to try the featured
event this year — the Snowzilla.
“The Snowzilla was a big hit this year,” Turmel added.
“It’s a 35-foot inflatable slide. Everyone seemed to have a
fantastic time.”
The Colchester Winter Carnival Committee expressed
its sincere thanks to the sponsors and many volunteers that
helped make this year’s event possible. UVM president
presents the facts
Sullivan speaks to
Colchester-Milton
Rotarians
By JASON STARR
The Colchester Sun
Tom Sullivan is a numbers guy.
A national authority on anti-trust law and
corporate mergers, the University of Vermont
President peppered a speech to the ColchesterMilton Rotary Club last Thursday with myriad
sums and percentages in an attempt to bear
out the university’s credentials as a financially
accessible institution.
Under Sullivan’s leadership (he started
on the job during the summer of 2012), the
university’s top priority has been making
its education affordable to a wider array of
students.
“We are committed to making sure financial
Tom Sullivan
barriers are being reduced,” he said.
Then he presented these facts:
• The university has about 13,000
students, 9,800 of which are
undergraduates.
• 70 percent of Vermont students who
apply are accepted.
• Tuition rose 2.9 percent this academic

St. Mike’s Rescue looks for
paramedic clearance
The St. Michael’s College Fire and Rescue
service that covers Route 15 through Colchester
and Winooski is applying to make the leap to
paramedic-level care.
The change is expected to go live March 1,
allowing St. Mike’s rescue personnel to broaden
their scope of practice in their ambulances
closer to what is offered in hospital emergency
rooms. They currently offer emergency medical
technician (EMT)- level care in a coverage area
that includes St. George and Hinesburg.
“Paramedics practice a broader scope of
skills and medical interventions than emergency
medical technicians, and they provide advanced
airway management, specialized cardiac care
and the ability to administer a wide range of
medications in the field,” Rescue Chief Peter
Soons wrote in an email to the Town of Colchester
requesting selectboard support. “We are excited
about the prospect of offering this level of care
for the residents of your community.”
The Colchester Selectboard endorsed the
move with a resolution of support last week,
noting that public perception is that paramediclevel care is already being provided in town. An
application to the Vermont EMS District No. 3
board and Fletcher Allen Health Care is in the
works.
Other Chittenden County rescue services
like Essex Rescue, South Burlington Rescue
and Colchester Rescue made similar changes in
2010 after getting clearance from Fletcher Allen,
which provides medical backing the county’s
emergency services.
St. Mike’s Fire and Rescue is volunteer staffed
exclusively by the college’s undergraduates
and alumni — about 35 people in total. The
organization hired its first full-time employee
last September, alumna Leslie Lindquist, who
had worked as a paramedic in Massachusetts, to
spearhead the move to paramedic-level care.
Lindquist is the only paramedic on staff, so
paramedic coverage will initially be available
only on her daytime shifts. She expects that
will increase over time as the organization
attracts alumni or St. Mike’s faculty and staff
who are trained paramedics. But the core
group of volunteers will remain EMT-level
undergraduates. Paramedic certification requires
post-graduate study.
“We won’t be achieving 24-7 coverage right
away,” Lindquist told the selectboard. “Whether
that will be a reality at some point, I don’t think
so. But we want to achieve a percentage of the
time where there’s access to the highest level of
pre-hospital care.”

Expo show presents
farms of tomorrow
Annual farm
show presents ag
technologies
By EVAN JOHNSON
For The Colchester Sun
Francis Bronson, of Bridport, has been a
regular at the annual Vermont Farm Show
for 30 years, and last week attended the 82nd
annual fair at the Champlain Valley Expo in
Essex Junction even though he has left dairy
farming.
While looking over some of the show’s
more than 150 agricultural exhibits, Bronson
said he was impressed by some of the
technological advances on display.
“There’s some innovative thought
processes on some of this stuff,” he said. “I
wish some of it was around when I was still
going.”
The Farm Show, which ran from Tuesday
through Thursday last week, was expected
to draw thousands of visitors — some to
learn more about their food at Wednesday’s
Consumer Night, some for meetings of various
agriculture groups (such as the beekeepers
and Christmas tree farmers), and some to get
glimpses of what the future of Vermont’s
agriculture might hold through cutting edge
technologies.
The Expo buildings were moderately
full last Tuesday. Visitors milled around
both north and south wings of the expo hall
collecting candy, free pens and samples of
all kinds of dairy products, and visiting with
representatives from equipment rentals, feed
suppliers, insurance agencies and the USDA.
The biggest names — the ones with the
tractors, tillers and mixers in tow — came from
the Midwest, Europe and Canada. Standing
next to a massive 1,100-square-foot hay mixer,
Kuhn Equipment representative Craig Cooper
said he attends six to seven events every year
in New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and
Staci Pomeroy of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation demonstrates the
effects of altering the flow of streams and rivers at the Vermont Farm Show in Essex Junction
last Tuesday.

Maine. Cooper said while the number of farms
is trending downwards, existing farms are
looking for larger equipment to meet the needs
of increasing herd sizes.
The fair also featured experts in animal
nutrition and management. Marty Waterman,
a dairy consultant from Hyde Park, said the
approach to animal feed today is more holistic
than in times past. Years ago, Waterman said,
it was common to find antibiotics in cow feed.
Today, antibiotics are still needed to treat sick
animals, but the days of applying antibiotics in
a broad spectrum are gone.
“Everything is done through nutrition and
management,” he said. “The milk in the ’90s
versus the milk now is incredibly different.
Over the past 20 years, it just keeps getting
better and better.”
Waterman said the dairy industry’s
approach to welfare of livestock has also
improved. While striving to maintain or
increase capacity, barns and milking parlors
today feature better ventilation, more space
and ample light. In the summers, cows are
sprayed with water and cooled with fans to
lower stress.
“The evolution has been to the point where
if you treat the cow right, she’ll treat you
right,” he said.
Allison Wilshere of Cargill Animal
Nutrition, visiting from a research campus in
Elk Ridge, Mich., was promoting what she
described as the “next best thing” for animals.
After conducting research in partnership with
Texas A&M University, Cargill has developed
a line of horse feed enhanced with live cultures
to help horses absorb more fiber in their feed
and forage.
“Seeing the science and watching it
transition to people’s everyday life is the most
fascinating part,” she said.
The expo floor also featured vendors from
fertility consultants, which distribute semen
from bulls of various pedigrees to sire calves
with similar features and qualities. Genex
Cooperative Inc., a subsidiary of Cooperative
Resources International, distributed “Holstein
investment guides” featuring lists of bulls

year for out-of-state
students but remained
flat
for
Vermont
students.
• 44 percent of Vermont
students go to school
tuition-free
through
scholarships
and
financial aid.
• UVM
offers
$105
million annually in
scholarships
and
financial
aid,
$23
million of which goes to
Vermont students.
• 40 percent of graduates
enter the workforce
debt-free
• One-third of Vermont
students at the university,
and 18 percent in all, are
the first in their family to
have attended college.
• UVM’s annual budget
is roughly $700 million.
Of that, 3.3 percent
comes from the State
of Vermont (“It’s the
lowest in the United
States in terms of
state support of a state
university,”
Sullivan
said.)
• About $1 billion in
economic
activity
is attributable to the
university, its students
and their families.
• UVM attracts $130
million annually from
federal grants to faculty
researchers.
With that, Sullivan made
the case for the university’s
importance in Vermont and
for its role as a conduit for
upward
social
mobility.
But he stressed that UVM’s
administrators, faculty and
staff are not just focused on
lowering barriers to higher
education, but also on
ensuring the academic success
and graduation of those who
are admitted. And success,
he said, doesn’t simply mean
being ready for employment.
It also means being ready
to engage civically and
contribute to community.
“It’s not just about
personal gain,” Sullivan said
during his 30-minute speech
to about 30 Rotarians at the
Hampton Inn. “We are trying
to instill that sense of the
responsibility of citizenship.
It’s not just, ‘are you going
to have a job on the Monday
morning after graduation?’”
As far as the university’s
top priorities under Sullivan’s
leadership, enhancing the
quality of the education
offered is second only to
financial accessibility and
just ahead of Sullivan’s third
priority of running a fiscally
sound organization.
He mentioned two projects
under
consideration
to
bolster the quality of UVM’s
academic and extra-curricular
programs. One is a Science,
Technology,
Engineering
and Mathematics (STEM)
lab that would be the largest
facility project in the school’s
history with a price tag of $100
million, according to Sullivan.
“We want to ensure a
first-rate education and we’re
behind right now on the labs
we need,” he said.
The other is an athletic
and multi-purpose center to
replace Patrick Gymnasium.
The school has collected the
results from its recent request
for proposals on the estimated
$75 million project and is
considering
public/private
partnerships to finance it.
“If we want to elevate our
programs and compete to get
the very best student-athletes,
we have to do something,”
Sullivan said. “We are
enthusiastic, but it’s going to
take a bit longer to figure out
the finances.”
Sullivan began his career
as a trial lawyer in the U.S.
Department of Justice then
became a private anti-trust
litigator. He entered academia
as a faculty member at the
University of Missouri and
went on to dean the University
of Arizona College of Law and
the University of Minnesota
Law School. Prior to becoming
UVM’s
26th
president,
Sullivan had been the senior
vice president for academic
affairs and provost at the
University of Minnesota.
“The thing with human
beings is you want a little time
for yourself,” he said. “The
old way of thinking about
farming was that you had to
milk in the morning, take care
of chores all afternoon and
then feed them and then milk
them again at night. People are
looking at this as profitable.”
Other gadgetry on display
included manure separators
that extract liquid and solid
matter, diverting solid waste
to be used in bedding or
compost and methane gas to
be used to generate electricity.
New photovoltaic arrays that
can be installed onto a barn or
house can generate hot water.
Bill Spence of Daedalus
Solar Works in Williamstown
said the expo was a good
opportunity for “tire kicking.”
we’ve learned there’s a lot
more that has to be put into
it.”
Kingdom Creamery has
over 400 milking cows. After
seeing the advancements
and services offered at the
expo, she said her view was
positive.
“It’s wonderful,” she said.
“If you’ve got the money.”
When asked if she uses
any of the new automated
milking equipment, she held
up her hands.
“You’re looking at them,”
she said.
After surveying much
of what the Vermont Farm
Show had to offer, Roxbury’s
David Santi, a carpenter who
specializes in farm buildings,
saw the future and said it
would have one very familiar
component.
“You’re never going to
press a button on a replicator
machine like on Star Trek
and get food,” he said. “It
isn’t going to happen. You’re
always going to need farmers.

with desirable traits including
health and fitness, production,
calving ability and robot
compatibility. Peter Burtch,
an account specialist, said
keeping the cows breeding is
equivalent with profit.
“The sooner we get them
pregnant is critical,” he said.
“Every day a cow is open
costs a lot of money, so
our focus is on fertility and
making sure they get bred in
a timely fashion.”
Genex has also developed
the ability to separate sperm
cells by gender, making it
possible for farmers to pay
for a bull’s semen with a
higher degree of certainty
that the resulting calf will be
a female.
Milking technology also
had a strong showing. Lely,
from the Netherlands, and
DeLaval, from Sweden, each
presented fully automatic
milking apparatuses. The
machines entice cows with
a high-density molasses
treat while a scanner reads
the cow’s tag to access her
medical history, usual milk
yield and teat location. The
machine cleans the cow’s
udder and milks her. Updates
on the herd are sent to a
desktop computer, where the
farmer can monitor the health
and productivity of each cow
as well as the performance
of the machine. Alerts and
alarms can be sent to the
owner via email, voicemail or
text message.
Mark Bigelow, from
DeLaval’s Middlebury office,
said the new technology saves
time and labor.

After operating their dairy
farm for three generations
spanning 60 years, the family
has produced ice cream for
the past three years. Operating
as both a dairy farm and small
business, Michaud said the
hardest part of expanding
into producing ice cream was
creating a marketing strategy.
“As a farmer, when you
don’t have your own product,
the milk is going in the milk
truck and shipping out. The
milk truck leaves and you
go back to milking cows,”
she said. “Once you have to
market your own product,

Vermont — a
greenhouse
for entrepeneurs
Frozen
pathways
By LISA GOSSELIN
“I’d love to move to Vermont and start a company here,” the
snowboarder said with a sigh as we shared a chairlift at Stowe. I
sighed too: if I had a dollar for every time I heard that, my mortgage
would be paid.
That was nine years ago. Chris Kaiser, the snowboarder, went
on to found Vermont Peanut Butter and this Thursday, he will join
a panel discussion at the Capitol Plaza in Montpelier to celebrate
Vermont Entrepreneurship Week.
Kaiser moved to Stowe in 2005 and started making peanut
butter in his kitchen. He moved operations into a plant in Waterbury
in the summer of 2011. Weeks later, the facility was wiped out by
Tropical Storm Irene. He rebuilt and is now selling his all-natural
nut butters internationally. Kaiser has joined the ranks of hundreds
who came here to ski and went on to build a business here. He’s
become a Vermontrepreneur.
What makes a Vermontrepreneur? It’s hard work, creativity,
resiliency, and a dedication to quality. It’s also an ethic about life
and work and giving back. Vermontrepreneurs measure profits in
ways accountants could never calculate. Yet, the funny thing about
Vermont startups? According to the Census Bureau they are less
likely to fail than those in neighboring states.
“Vermont is very good at growing companies, we’re like
a greenhouse,” said Joe Fusco at an economic development
workshop held in late January. Fusco is vice president at Casella
Waste Systems and an advisor at University of Vermont’s new
Sustainable Entrepreneurship MBA program (SEMBA).
As a greenhouse state, what is Vermont doing to help grow its
entrepreneurs?
• Prizes for business plans: Recently LaunchVT announced it
was upping its 2014 business plan prize money to $25,000 (adding
to a suite of more than $45,000 in pro-bono services ranging from
legal to design work). And Strolling of the Heifers is looking to
offer nearly $90,000 across multiple categories for business plans
in the farm/food sector.
• Innovative business-focused education, such as Champlain
College’s gaming curricula and UVM’s new Sustainable
Entrepreneurship MBA (SEMBA). State colleges such as Vermont
Technical College and Community College of Vermont are also
incredible resources for entrepreneurs and offer a suite of programs
— ranging from cheese-making to sustainable design, SEO to
manufacturing.
• Technical and business assistance. Vermont’s Small Business
Development Center and 12 Regional Development Corporations
reach out across the state advising start-ups and growing businesses
alike. The Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund provides early stage
grants, loans and technical assistance to businesses that focus on
sustainably-produced goods and services and has been the driving
force behind Vermont’s farm-to-plate strategic plan.
• Venture funding for start-ups: Fresh Tracks Capital (proud
venture parent to Vermont Teddy Bear, Mophie, EatingWell) has
a new fund now and is once again interviewing its next potential
entrepreneurs in a truly Vermont manner: the annual Peak Pitch
event, to be held at Sugarbush on March 6, involves “chairlift”
pitches. And consider Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies
(VCET) in Middlebury and Burlington, which has been named one
of the top 11 university-based incubators in the world.
• Access to big capital: For those entrepreneurs (such as Jay
Peak’s Bill Stenger) who have had a big idea, Vermont’s EB-5
program has provided access to more than $300 million in capital
for projects around the state and generated thousands of jobs.
In January, a Mount Snow EB-5 project worth $52 million was
approved.
• Incentive programs with a proven track record: The self-funded
Vermont Employment Growth Incentive rewards companies
for growing businesses and jobs here and was named one of the
nation’s top incentive programs by Good Jobs First. Since its
inception in 2007 this performance-based incentive has promised
to return more than $34 million to companies if they create jobs
and payroll and make capital investments . By 2016, this will have
generated more than 6,145 jobs with an average compensation of
$57,641, over $546 million in new capital investments in Vermont,
and a net return of $24 million to state coffers.
• Workforce training: Another program housed in the
Department of Economic Development, the Vermont Training
Program, helps pay up to 50 percent of training costs for employees
in qualified businesses. In 2013, VTP helped train more than 3,850
Vermonters, who then went on to improve their wages by 13
percent.
• Help with government contracting: Vermont’s Procurement
Technical Center (PTAC), has helped companies such as Simon
Pearce (which recently received a $5 million order for its fine
stemware from U.S. embassies around the world), Darn Tough
socks, and Revision Eyewear provide products to our government.
In fiscal year 2013, Vermont companies working through PTAC

last year’s figure.
•Export assistance: The Department of Economic
Development’s Vermont Global Trade Partnership (VGTP)
allocated over $400,000 in federal grant funds to small businesses
to help offset the costs of trade shows, export compliance training,
and other international market support. VGTP also provides
international market data and research to companies already
exporting or those who seek to enter the export market.
• Mentoring: We have businesses that reach out to help their
younger siblings. Recently, Dinse Knapp McAndrews announced
that over the next month it is offering free lunchtime legal advice
to start-ups as part of its support of StartUpVT. IBM, which was
a key partner in launching StartUpVT, is hosting a suite of online
programs, events and classes for entrepreneurs this week.
As the Department of Economic Development works with
partners around the state to develop a Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy, we are taking a hard look at what helps
companies at all stages of growth.
We welcome your suggestions and comments. As we know

Letters To The Editor
Essential transparency in teacher
contract talks
I applaud the willingness of some of the negotiating
teams to have negotiations in open forum (“Open and closed:
teachers, school board feel out public contract negotiations”
Jan. 2). However I am deeply concerned about the reasons for
entering executive session for the next round of negotiations.
It is concerning to me that when the conversation/
negotiations enter into the “compensation” phase that
executive session is required because of the “sensitive nature”
of the discussions.
The taxpayers have a right to be involved in the discussions
as it is OUR money that will be paying for this contract.
The transparency of discussion is more than essential for
the taxpayers to feel comfortable that the School Board and
Superintendent have done their absolute best for the taxpayer.
I also wish to point out to all the negotiators that we have
not had a level-funded budget for years. In fact, it is not clear
to me that anyone having anything to do with the budget
understands what a level-funded budget means.
It is important to understand that the budget cannot
continue to rise each year. Both parties need to get their arms
around that fact and find a way to reduce the preliminary
expectations on this budget from the projected increase to a
much lower figure.
I believe that requires some of the following: 1. Adjustment
to student/teacher ratios to facilitate a reduction in full time
teaching positions. 2. Phase-in of the computer program.
3. Support staff reductions. 4. User-funded activities. 5. A
teachers contract that reflects the economic times we are in.
That has been lacking in previous contracts.
If the impact of this budget process continues to be as great
as projected, I believe the taxpayers will reject the budget and
possibly the people who represent them.

someone escape a burning building or changing a life through
acts of generosity and caring, heroism happens in our community
every day.
Honorees will be recognized at a celebration April 29.
But first, help us learn about the heroes in our community by
nominating someone to receive an award in one of the following
categories: Armed Forces/Military Hero, Animal Hero, Youth
Good Samaritan, Adult Good Samaritan, First Responder,
Community Impact, Blood Services/Gift of Life, and Spirit of the
Red Cross.
The heroic act or activities must have occurred in the past 16
months to be eligible for an award at the April event. Nominations
will be accepted through Feb. 24. To nominate a hero and for

State pension woes become municipal woes
By DAVID COATES
I wish there was better
news to report to Vermonters
on the pension front this year,
but unfortunately there is not.
In fact, the pension problem
is now spreading to our cities
and towns. First, an update on the
state picture. Total pension and retiree
health care unfunded liabilities
for the state workers and the
teachers remain essentially
the same as in 2012 — over
$3 billion. There was a $41
million overall decrease after
State Treasurer Beth Pearce
was able to achieve over $200
million in positive changes to
the teacher retiree health care
benefits. If it were not for
this one-time effort, the result
would have been an increase
of over $160 million. This is
the only good news.
And the prospects going
forward are anything but
encouraging. The
state
continues to take the annual

teachers retiree health care
costs from the teachers’
pension fund assets. This
practice of robbing Peter to
pay Paul reduces their pension
fund assets by $20 million
each year. This is very bad
news.
And that’s not all. Other
contributors to the negative
outlook include the fact that
the required pension benefits
determined by the actuary
through 2016 increase by
about 8 percent per year. The
state General Fund revenue
forecast indicates revenues are
expected to grow just about 4
percent per year. How will
this gap be paid?
The annual retiree health
care benefits determined by
the actuary are approximately
$113 million. Since the state's
policy is to fund only the
current cost of these benefits,
a shortfall of over $80 million
per year will be incurred. Over
25 years, this $80 million of
underfunding will triple and
cost the state around $240
million. As our State Treasurer
Pearce has said: “It's taking
the wind out of the sails of the
pension’s recovery.”
Structural change in our
pensions and retiree health care
benefits is needed now. Since
2008, our combined unfunded
liabilities have increased from
$2.1 billion to $3.1 billion. An
increase of $1 billion in only
five years! This dilemma must
no longer be ignored. Not only is the state in
a crisis, but so are many of
our cities and towns. The
Vermont Municipal Employee
Retirement System (VMERS)
handles the pensions for nearly
500 Vermont towns and school
districts. Around 80 percent of
these are defined benefit plans
just like the state workers and
teachers’ plans. In 2008, all of
these plans were overfunded to
the tune of $5 million; today
they are underfunded by $82
million — a negative change
of $87 million in just five short
years. The primary source to
fund these obligations will be
increased property taxes to the
residents of the towns. Is your
town prepared to incur these
new costs?
VMERS does not include
Burlington ($58 million) or
Rutland ($23 million as of
2012). South Burlington does
not have an unfunded pension
liability, but instead has a note
($7.9 million) that it incurred
to eliminate the liability. The bad news keeps getting
worse for current taxpayers
and, of course, the longer we
postpone fixing the problem
the worse it gets for our
children and grandchildren.
I used to think the phrase
“promises made, promises
kept” was important, but now
it seems like wishful thinking
as we continue to let these
obligations pile up unchecked.
When will Vermonters act?

Town News
“Open Season,”
by C.J. Box
Adult Fiction, 2001
“Colchester, Vermont, located on Lake Champlain’s Malletts
Bay, is a diverse, civic-minded community endowed with
a rich heritage of commercial, agricultural, recreational,
and educational gifts. Proud of the quality of life already
enjoyed here, the people of Colchester seek to build upon
this foundation to ensure economic prosperity, recreational
opportunity, and an entrepreneurial spirit for future

Wyoming, full of wide open spaces and plenty of nature. Joe Pickett is a game warden; he
loves his job, his state, and most of all, his wife and two daughters. Things he does not like:
poachers, illegal hunting, disregard for the laws he has sworn to uphold, those who impact
the wildlife and ecosystems he tries to protect, and the thought of living anywhere besides
Saddlestring, Wyoming. He never knows what he’ll encounter out in the field. Whether it’s
a poacher, wild animal, treacherous weather, or irresponsible campers, he must deal with it
while handling the issue with finesse. The state relies heavily on vacationers and hunters, and
Joe’s higher ups do not like to see these sources of revenue offended. Joe is a good and moral
guy who believes in what he does, but is not without his flaws, and sometimes the fine line
between upholding the law and serving as a good will ambassador is difficult to maintain.
The author writes a fast-paced and suspenseful story, with a strong and very likeable lead
character — in some ways, Box’s book is reminiscent of a good western adventure.
The following information highlights some activities performed by
the Town from Jan. 27-31.

Reported by Bob Vickery, assessor
The Assessor’s Department will be conducting a field review of the
entire town and checking on all permits from now until the end of
April.
“Twerp,”
by Mark Goldblatt
Juvenile Fiction, 2013
Reviewed by Gizelle Guyette, Youth Services
The field review will consist of a “drive-by” inspection of all
properties in Colchester to verify some of the Town’s data that can
be observed from the street.
Julian Twerski — Twerp, to his frenemies — is in trouble. And once again, it’s because
he can’t stand up to his mean-spirited best friend, Lonnie. And, after the kind of year he’s
had, with interlopers claiming his rightful place as fastest runner at his school, first love
heartbreak, the torture of Hebrew School and all, why should he be made to write a book — A
BOOK — about his life and recent choices, like he’s supposed to learn something profound
by it? Unfair! Right?
Set in New York City in the late 1960’s, this story follows twelve-year-old Julian, his
assorted comrades, and their vacant lot exploits, both good and evil. Julian, a basically good
kid with better instincts than judgment, makes a terrible, terrible choice. Something he can
never undo. The story, procrastinator-style, narrates everything in his sixth-grade year but the
central incident, the reason he and the guys were suspended, until finally it leads up to his
moment of honest confession and grief, and what there is left to do about it in the aftermath.
Elements of the widely-accepted racism and other prejudices hit a true note, and while the
book is imperfect, and could have used some editing, it is well worth reading.

I wonder…
By Alicia Tebeau-Sherry
Grade 8, Colchester Middle School
Amy Sarika always day dreamed. She was a small girl, with
bouncy blonde hair. Her cheeks were always rosy, and her bright
blue eyes would shine with wonder. Everyday she would get up
to go to school and think, “I wonder if today will be different?”
She seemed happy to all the students when she went to school
each day, but inside she wondered to herself, “What if magic
was real? I wonder if there’s someone who will be a true friend?”
Amy Sarika read a lot. Her teacher would sternly say, “Amy,
put the book away.” But she never really listened. She would
slouch down in her seat, open her book inside her desk, and
continue in her own world. When she had to stop reading after
the tenth warning, she would continue to wonder. “I wonder if
magic is real, but I just can’t see it? Why can’t people be like the
characters in my books?”

A once broken girl was bundled in her winter jacket,
her breath making miniature clouds in front of her. Her
hands were clutched to her hot chocolate, and she breathed
in the aroma of the heat. She signed, taking a tiny sip
from the styrofoam cup, then smiled softly, feeling the
liquid sweetness pour over her mouth. It warmed her to
the very bone. It was in that second when the snow began
to descend. It started softly at first then escalated into a
blizzard. The girl retreated behind one of the practically
ancient walls of Jackson County Middle School to escape
the growing chilled wind. She risked a peek and saw that
each flake was bright and dazzling, completely different...
The purpose of these inspections is to assess all properties in town
to the Fair Market Value using the most up-to-date and accurate
data possible; this will ensure that property owners do not pay
more than their fair share of the tax burden.

HEAD GASKET FAILURE
Head gaskets often fail due to engine overheating, which causes the
cylinder head to swell and crush
the head gasket. Detonation (spark
knock) can also lead to head gasket
failure, as a sharp spike in combustion chamber pressure can, over
time, overload and crack the gasket armor that surrounds the cylinder. At that point, coolant and/or
combustion gases leak. One way
to pinpoint a head gasket leak is to
perform a cylinder leak-down test
(which involves removing the spark
plugs and filling the cylinder with
compressed air), which provides the
added benefit of identifying which
cylinder is leaking. This test also
looks more closely at the cylinder
for cracks and problems that might
affect the success of the repair.
The head gasket plays a very important role in the function of your
car’s engine, and a blown head gasket can cause serious damage and
lead to major repairs. At ESSEX

“
I fell into art,” explained Colchester artist
Hattie Seville. “I was at the right place at
the right time.”
A native of Burlington and a 1946 graduate of
the University of Vermont, Seville got her start
in art while she and her late husband lived in
Watercolor artist Hattie Seville sits in her apartment studio on Monday afternoon.

and assigned her to dress the windows of the
“But they sold right away,” she exclaimed. “I went to shows every
department store. From there, she tried her hand at oils and
weekend and they were all successful.”
didn’t like it much. “They are so messy,” she said. “And if you’re
not careful the brush will dry out and be ruined.”
The “little people” developed, and Seville expanded into
It was when she picked up the watercolor brush that she knew;
“I love watercolors, so that’s what I do.”
Seville began painting every day in the early ‘70s when she and
her husband lived in Corinth. Her first work began as crude
drawings of what she calls her “little people.”
landscapes and birds.
“It was so beautiful in Corinth,” she said. “I paid more attention
to the scenery.” Seville explained that Corinth is the inspiration
for many of her landscape and barn paintings.
Whether it’s a landscape, bird or little person, Seville usually
starts her paintings with a sketch. “You have to plan it out,”
she said. But more often than not, she admitted in a recent
interview, she starts off in one place and ends up in another.
Another tip Seville offers to other watercolor artists is to watch
the amount of water on the brush. “The faster you paint the
better it is,” she said.
But the most important lesson of Seville’s career has been to do
what she loves. “You have to find what you love to do, then find
a way to make money at it.”

GIRLS' HOCKEY

ST. MICHAEL’S

Laker net against BFA-St, Albans
on Saturday.

Lakers blanked in St. Albans
By JOSH KAUFMANN
For The Colchester Sun
BFA-St. Albans extended its winning streak to eight
games with a 4-0 win over Colchester in a Saturday night
girls’ hockey game at the Collins-Perley Sports Center.
Makenna Larrow, Kait Laroe, Chelsea Ellis and Morgan
Lamos netted a goal apiece for BFA (11-3).
Riley Yandow earned two of the Comets’ seven assists,
while Ellis, Shea Dukas, Elena Brigham, Erin Shuttle and
Jade Remillard set up one goal each.
Laker goalie Erica Hoffman came up with 32 saves while
Marina Nadeau stopped 14 shots for her fifth shutout of the
season and third in the past four games.
Despite a 12-5 edge in shots on goal in the first 15 minutes
and an 11-4 edge in the middle frame, the Comets had just one
score before the game was almost halfway gone.
Lamos scored with only 1:04 remaining in the first,
assisted by Remillard and Ellis on the first of two BFA powerplay goals. Ellis made it 2-0 at 6:46 of the second period, from
Shuttle and Yandow. It took just 2:01 more for the Comets to
add a third goal, with Dukas and Brigham setting up Laroe at
8:47.
Larrow closed out the scoring on another power play at
6:50 of the third, assisted by Yandow.
BFA coach Luke Cioffi said having nine players involved
in four goals was not a fluke.
“That’s been us. We’ve had a couple games where some
kids have pumped a few in. But lately it’s been everybody
contributing on whatever line. I think that makes it exciting for
us, because we’re getting equal scoring. And defensively, too,
a lot of kids are doing well.
“We’re rolling three, four lines, and we’re playing teams
with two lines. It helps us to get fresh legs out there. We’re
getting into a rhythm, making it work, and everybody’s
communicating. It’s a nice group to work with.”
Cioffi said the Comets have resisted the urge to look ahead
to big games the next two Saturdays, against No. 1 ranked
Essex and No. 3 Spaulding. Essex (12-1-2) is the only Vermont
team to take BFA down this winter, winning 4-1 on Jan. 4.
Spaulding, whom BFA defeated 6-1 in St. Albans on Jan. 11,
is the only real challenger to BFA for the No. 2 seed and home
ice through the semifinals.
“We started out slow, it was a little rough for us,” Cioffi
said of the game against Colchester, which turned out to be the
Comets’ second 4-0 win over the Lakers this season. “We were
reminding them that playing the next shift is a key. They’ve
been good about taking one game at a time. The next game is
Rutland so we’ll get ready for them.”
While the standings and results have made clear that Essex
and BFA are the teams to beat in Metro girls hockey this
season, Cioffi agreed that the difference is nothing like it was
in the days when BFA’s biggest challenge in the regular season
was not embarrassing and discouraging most of its foes.
“You have to work. You’ve got some good goaltenders,
and some good kids throughout the league.”
Next up for Colchester is a 6:30 p.m. match at Rutland on
Saturday.

Lakers’
Colchester boys’ hockey dropped at 2-1 loss Saturday night at
Leddy Park to BFA-St. Albans in a crucial Metro Division hockey
contest. Goals by Carl Laroe and Don Muller and a strong defensive
effort earned BFA-St. Albans the win to move them one-hundredth
of an index point ahead of the Lakers for third place in the Division
I standings. The win also kept St Albans within reach of No. 2
Essex heading into this weekend’s home hockey doubleheader
against the Hornets.
Kyle Cioffi and Cam Russell earned assists Saturday night for
the Bobwhites, who scored both of their goals in the second period.
Colchester got back within one in the third period on Jared
Rylant’s goal, but Sean Hengemuhle — who made 34 saves — and
the BFA defense preserved the win.
The Lakers got 28 saves from Erik Swan.
Next up for the Lakers is a Saturday contest at Rutland starting

Men’s basketball sweeps pair of conference games
The St. Michael’s College men’s basketball team went 2-0
in Northeast-10 Conference action last week, beating American
International College, 66-63, on Tuesday then winning against
Adelphi University, 70-61, on Saturday. The Purple and Gold
currently sits at third place in the NE-10 Northeast Division.
Against AIC, behind junior James Cambronne’s career highs
of 28 points and 20 rebounds, St. Michael’s withstood a missed
tying three-pointer at the buzzer. Cambronne shot 11-of-20 from
the floor and 5-of-6 on free throws while also dishing out two
assists, recording his eighth 20-point outing in 11 games and
becoming the first Purple Knight since Brian Monahan ‘08 with
a 20-20 game, on Jan. 11, 2007. First-year Matt Bonds added 14
points and seven rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench, and junior
Mike Holton Jr. posted 10 points. Classmate Corey Crawford II
shot 3-of-5 from three-point range for nine points, junior Mike
Thompson hauled in nine boards, and sophomore Greg Grippo
dished off three assists. St. Michael’s held a 49-34 rebounding
advantage.
At Adelphi, a 7-of-12 three-point performance in the second
half sent St. Michael’s to victory. In his 76th career game, Holton
tallied 21 points to move into 22nd in school history in scoring,
with 1,212 career points. He passed BJ Robertson ‘06 (1,192 in
104 games) and Brian Pannuzzo ‘99 (1,207 in 114 games) during
the contest. Holton added six rebounds and five assists while
shooting 3-of-5 from beyond the arc, pushing his career total to
144 threes and passing Ben Smith ‘04 (142 in 108 games) for
eighth in school annals. Cambronne turned in 12 points and nine
rebounds, junior Dom Ditlefsen tacked on 11 points, four helpers
and two steals, and Bonds tallied eight points and 10 boards.
Thompson also neared a double-double with eight points and
nine rebounds. Nineteen of the Purple Knights’ 26 baskets were
assisted, with eight different players lending at least one helper.
Six different players also knocked down at least one trey in the
game, with four hitting multiple threes.
Women’s basketball drops two NE-10 contests
The St. Michael’s College women’s basketball team lost
both of its Northeast-10 Conference games last week, falling to
American International College, 67-60, last Tuesday and then
suffering a setback against 25th-ranked Adelphi University, 7876, on Saturday. Nine of the Purple Knights losses have been by
single digits.
Against AIC, junior Maggie Sabine poured in a game-high 19
points with nine rebounds while shooting 8-of-10 on free throws,
while classmate Kelly Frappier, of Colchester, contributed 10
points and six boards. Sophomore Makenzie Burud sank eight
points, and senior Cara Deroy had seven points with three
rebounds. Senior Alexa Long and first-year Indira Evora both
had six points and four boards.
At Adelphi, the Panthers snapped a tie with two seconds
remaining to avoid the upset. Sophomore Megan Gaudreau
turned in a career-high 17 points behind 5-of-9 three-point
shooting, also setting a personal best for threes. Evora notched
13 points and two steals while going 6-of-6 on free throws, and
Frappier and Sabine tacked on 10 points apiece. Burud posted 10
points and six rebounds, while Deroy collected nine points, five
steals and four assists. Long hauled in seven boards. The Purple
Knights nearly knocked off their second ranked opponents, and
their third that was at least receiving national votes. Men’s ice hockey posts 2-1 showing during week
The St. Michael’s College men’s ice hockey team went 2-1
last week, beating Assumption College, 4-1, during Northeast-10
Conference play on Tuesday before splitting a weekend Eastern
College Athletic Conference (ECAC) East pair. The Purple
Knights downed St. Anselm College, 4-2, on Friday before
dropping a 5-1 decision to nationally-regarded New England
College on Saturday. With the victory against Assumption, the
Purple and Gold remained alive for the fourth and final spot in
the NE-10 Championship. When St. Michael’s and Franklin
Pierce University meet on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Cairns Arena, a
win guarantees the Purple Knights a tournament berth.
At Assumption, St. Michael’s scored three third-period goals
for the road win. First-year Josh Dickman tallied a goal and
dished out an assist for the Purple Knights, who outshot the hosts
72-31 and went 2-for-5 on the man advantage. Senior Kevin
Lampron, junior Jeremy Wong and sophomore Kevin Altidor all
tallied a goal. First-year Danny Divis finished with two assists.
Juniors William Côté and Eric Robinson, of Williston, and firstyear Stephen Inman all recorded an assist. Junior Dave Donzanti
stopped 30 shots in net.
At St. Anselm, Wong’s game-winner with 25 seconds
remaining came amid a three-goal flurry in the final 4:22 as the
Purple Knights rallied past the Hawks. Altidor and Wong both
finished with a goal and an assist, while senior Ryan Arsenault
and sophomore Nick Potter also tallied. Potter was also 12-of-16
on face-offs. Côté dished off two assists, and Donzanti made 35
stops. Divis and graduate student Tim McAuliffe both picked up
an assist.
At New England College, the Purple Knights struck first but
ended up falling to the Pilgrims, who were receiving votes toward
both Division III national polls. Dickman scored his team’s
only tally, while Lampron and sophomore Mike Schreiner, of
St. Albans, contributed assists. Sophomore Michael Comitini
stopped 26 shots for his team, which outshot the hosts 39-31.

important one for Vermonters,
as more than 55,000 Vermont
adults and 10,000 children are
living with asthma. In fact,
since 2007, Vermont has had
some of the highest asthma
rates in the country. It has also
been reported by the American
Lung Association that more
than 25,000 Vermonters are
living with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, which
refers to a group of lung
diseases that block airflow and
make breathing difficult.
An awards ceremony
at Bolton Valley lodge will
follow the Snowshoe Shuffle
and prizes will be given to
the top three male and female
runners and top individual
and team fundraisers. Anyone
who raises $100 or more will
receive a free alpine ski pass
from Bolton Valley.
“It’s great to be able
to get out, be active and
enjoy the fresh air all while
supporting the mission we all
care about,” said Leadership
Board Chair for the American
Lung Association in Vermont
Corey Hevrin, who has been
a part of the event since its
inception. “What’s more is
that the money raised helps
support the efforts of the
American Lung Association,
a cause we all care about, as
they work hard to reduce the
burden of lung disease on
not only Vermonters, but all
Americans.”
Pre-registration for the
race costs $35 and includes
a drawstring backpack while
supplies last; registration
increases to $40 on the day
of the race. Snowshoe rentals
will be available for $5.

Union Memorial School K-2 students to
perform in musical
All Kindergarten through second-grade students at Union
Memorial School (UMS) will perform the musical, “Too Much
Noise! – An Eastern European Folktale” retold with original
music by Brian Hiller and Don Dupont on Feb. 12 and 13 in
the Colchester High School Theatre. The performance is a
culmination of several weeks of learning for the students that
include reading the script and learning songs, speaking parts
and dances.
The students will be split into two performing groups — half
of the students perform on Feb. 12 and the other half performs
on Feb. 13. Both performances start at 6:30 p.m. and last 30
minutes.
“Musicals provide a great opportunity for the children to
learn and explore on so many levels,” said Martie Mutz, CSD
music teacher at UMS and PPS. “There will be speaking and
dancing parts and every child will be a part of the chorus…for
many of our children this is their first time on a real stage.”
Too Much Noise! is a unison musical that teaches the
age-old lesson that things can always be worse. The musical
features Jacob and his family, who think their house is too
noisy, town wise men and plenty of barnyard animals. For more
information, visit Ms. Mutz’ UMS blog at http://blogs.csdvt.

Colchester High School will host a Junior College Night on
Feb. 13.
Open to students of all grade levels and their parents, the
event is designed to provide helpful information about all
aspects of the college admissions process, such as the college
application timeline, process and strategies, as well as college
visits, standardized tests, and so on.
College and career planning is very important; one of the
major contributing factors to college transfer and drop-out rates
is a lack of advanced planning and preparation. It is important
to consider colleges that align well with career goals, interests,
offerings and learning styles, and the Junior College Night
Series helps to make the entire process a lot less overwhelming.
A great deal of planning and effort goes into post-secondary
planning as part of CHS’s AT program and during its various
outreach events.
For more information, contact CHS at 264-5700.
