Mixed signals and silence from IBM
By JASON STARR
The Essex Reporter
The Vermont Department of Labor
is in rapid response mode this week as
it works with employees affected by job
losses at IBMÕ s Essex Junction facility,
part of a round of layoffs at IBM locations
throughout the United States and Canada.
But the department is in the dark about
the scope of the layoffs, and IBM officials
have declined to release information about
the number of jobs lost.
The layoffs were first announced last
Wednesday by Gov. Peter Shumlin and
confirmed this week by Labor Secretary
Annie Noonan. Essex Town Manager Pat
Scheidel said he expects the job losses to
total between 165 and 400. A layoff of more
than 500 would trigger a public notification
to federal labor authorities through the
Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act.
The Vermont Labor Department is
working with IBMÕ s human resources
department to set up a presence on the
companyÕ s campus next week to help
severed employees file for unemployment
benefits and begin new job searches. The
FEMA help
coming, but
not for all
department held two such sessions in
Burlington this week.
MIXED SIGNALS
The head of IBMÕ s Vermont operations,
Janette Bombardier, spoke with the Essex
Junction Board of Trustees last year about
IBMÕ s plan to develop an industrial and
manufacturing hub on one of its unused
parcels along Maple Street. The plan, in
which IBM will establish infrastructure to
accommodate businesses it plans to recruit
to build facilities on the site, received an
excited response from village officials. By
appearances, the company was investing
and growing in Essex Junction.
Ò ItÕ s difficult because on one hand they
tell us there are plans to expand their site
and on the other hand they turn around
and have these layoffs,Ó Village President
George Tyler said. Ò ItÕ s depressing and itÕ s
perplexing.Ó
Scheidel, the unified manager of
Essex and Essex Junction, notes that the
Essex facility is at the whims of a global
market and the performance of IBM as a
whole. A worldwide company, IBM posted
quarterly results in May that missed
earning projections, and its stock price

Late night loss
Group of
residents lobby
for inclusion in
flood relief
By JASON STARR
The Essex Reporter
A meeting of state and federal
disaster officials is scheduled for
June 27 at Founders Memorial
School to kickoff the evaluation
of heavy road damage incurred in
Essex during late May flooding.
The flooding was caused by
nearly 9 inches of rain in the
days leading up to Memorial Day
Weekend, and has been formally
declared a federal disaster,
opening the door for up to 90
percent financial support for
rebuilding public infrastructure.
The rest of the estimated
$350,000 in Essex road repairs
Ñ
about $40,000 Ñ
will come
from the Town of Essex.
One group that is dealing with
the aftermath of the floods but
wonÕ t see federal, state or town
rebuilding funds is residents of
West Sleepy Hollow Road. The
road exists in the purgatory of
road classifications Ñ tagged as
a Class 4 Town Highway. It is
neither private nor maintained
by the town, rather it is owned
by the town and maintained by
homeowners. The road has been
reduced to one lane since the
floods.
A half-dozen West Sleepy
Hollow Road residents attended
MondayÕ s meeting of the Essex
Selectboard to request $30,000 in
town funds to help bring the road
at least back to the condition it
was in prior to the floods, and,
homeowners prefer, up to a
higher standard.
Ò Our ultimate goal is to
somehow, some way have the
town take it over,Ó resident Tom
Carroll said.
The selectboard asked town
staff to determine how the town
could come up with money
not budgeted in the current or
coming fiscal year and whether it
could offer funds as an interestfree loan, or a loan with interest.
Ò We
donÕ t
just
give
out
$30,000,Ó
selectboard
chairwoman Linda Myers said.
Ò A loan situation is the only way
the town can justify it.Ó
Board members plan to make
a decision on the request at their
July 8 meeting.
There was disagreement
whether West Sleepy Hollow
Road residents are currently
at risk of being inaccessible to
emergency vehicles and who
would be liable in the case of
an emergency that couldnÕ t be
served by an ambulance or fire
truck. Public Works Director
Dennis Lutz said it would
ultimately be up to a judge to
decide if an incident got to the
point of litigation. He said the
town would not plow the road
unless residents find a way to fix
it.
Ò To take a truck and destroy
it trying to get up there is
ludicrous,Ó Lutz said. Ò We just

Essex falls to CVU in
extra innings
By KELLY MARCH
The Essex Reporter
The Essex Hornets led Champlain Valley
Union through six innings of the Division I
state baseball championship at Centennial
Field in Burlington on Monday night. With
a 3-1 lead heading into the seventh, Essex
seemed primed to clinch the title. But then
the Redhawks stepped up to the plate.
Third-seeded Champlain Valley (16-4)
pulled out two runs in the seventh to forge
the first tie of the game and, when Essex
failed to respond, forced extra innings. And
thatÕ s all it took for the Redhawks to lay the
foundation for their 4-3 come-from-behind
win over top-seeded Essex in the 11th inning
of the title game.
Essex jumped to an early lead with runs
in each of the gameÕ s first three innings.
Josh Baez opened scoring for the Hornets
after reaching first base, stealing second and
third and running home on Tyler WarrenÕ s
single. Then Baez hit an RBI single in the
second inning, bringing home Hudson
Seman from second for a 2-0 Essex lead. The
Redhawks cut that lead to 2-1 in the third,
but the Hornets responded at the bottom of
the inning when Justin WardÕ s groundout
scored Warren for a 3-1 lead that remained
until the RedhawksÕ seventh inning push.
Deagan Poland set the stage for
Champlain ValleyÕ s rally by opening the
seventh with a bunt single. Hayden Smith
upped that bid by reaching first on an error.
Then Essex starter Steve Jurkiewicz struck
out Will Potter, but that wasnÕ t enough to
halt the RedhawksÕ growing momentum.
Davis Mikell stepped up and punched a
single to bring Poland home, cutting the
Hornets lead to 3-2.
After Essex senior Luke Salerno took
over for Jurkiewicz, Kirk Fontana hit Smith
home to tie the game, 3-3. The Hornets shut
down Champlain ValleyÕ s hopes of a tapping
a lead, but the damage had already been
done as Essex failed to record any runs in
the four extra innings that followed.
The HornetsÕ last chance at a comeback
came at the bottom of the 11th inning, after
Poland drove home Shea Ireland to clinch
the RedhawksÕ first lead of the game, 4-3.
Champlain Valley struck out two
Hornets and walked Frank Puleo to first to
open the frame. Then a final tag out brought
Champlain Valley fans to their feet as the
defending state champions charged the field

Westford celebrates 250
By PHYL NEWBECK
For The Essex Reporter
The hardy folks of Westford werenÕ t going to let a little rain
bother them. The town celebrated its sestercentennial on June 7
and 8 under wet, grey skies but that didnÕ t damper the spirits of the
residents who took part in the festivities. While most towns in our
area limited themselves to a day of celebration, Westford devoted an
entire weekend to their anniversary.
A major part of the festivities was a reenactment put on by the
Vermont Civil War Hemlocks. The group set up camp at 9 a.m.
on Saturday, opening their doors to the public an hour later and
commencing their infantry drill and musket firing demonstration
at 11 a.m. They continued throughout the weekend with various
mundane tasks like issuing rations, preparing meals, and
responding to roll call and lights out, while also doing several
cannon demonstrations before breaking camp at noon on Sunday.
Town Clerk Nanette Rogers said the Hemlocks were a very popular
part of the anniversary celebration, which also included a raffle for
a Ò civilianÓ to fire off their cannon.
WestfordÕ s festivities also featured plenty of music including
children from the Westford School Chorus, Audrey Dawson singing
the National Anthem, Carol Ann Jones, the Westford Fairfax
Fletcher Band, Code 11 and the Starline Rhythm Boys. Almost 200
people signed up for lunch and Westford Recreation Department
Coordinator Heather Armata estimates that 300-350 people attended
at least some of the weekend events. Volunteers baked 250 cupcakes

With ...
Dina Dattilio
Camp Ta-Kum-Ta’s Shining Star
Dina Dattilio is a
shining star. Literally.
Just a few weekends ago
during Camp Ta-Kum-TaÕ s
staff development weekend
in South Hero, Dattilio
received the Shining Star
Award. This recognition
Ò honors a volunteer who
has dedicated many years
to the organization and
who embodies the spirit of
Camp Ta-Kum-Ta.Ó
Ò Dina
has
worked
endless hours researching
programs amongst other
ChildrenÕ s Oncology camps
and attending an annual
conference to learn how
to better our programs,Ó
reads the press release
from the South Hero
based Camp sent earlier
this week. Ò As a dedicated
board
member,
event
participant, volunteer and
Programs Director, DinaÕ s
hard work and efforts
can be credited with the
success of our programs.Ó
Dattilo, a native of
Essex Junction and 1984
graduate of Essex High
School, keeps on shining
in her career as the owner
of Fresco Hair Designs in
Williston.
Although
the
cosmetologist just opened
her salon a year and a half
ago, sheÕ s been doing hair
for 29 years.
Ò I like the creative part
of doing hair,Ó she said. Ò I
like making relationships
They get to
come to Camp
and just be
kids; they don’t
have to worry.
It is a little
oasis.

with people, and making
them feel good.
Those are good traits
for the volunteer who, for
the fifth year, took charge
of planning the programs
that approximately 70
campers will enjoy during
Camp Week Ñ
July 27Aug. 3.
Ò What I get to do is plan
all the fun that happens at
campÉ We do things like
tethered hot air balloon
rides, a formal [dance], a
ropes course and lots of
other fun things,Ó she said,
explaining that she has no
idea how many hours she
spends on the weekends

and evenings planning
programs for Camp Week
and throughout the rest of
the year.
Recently
Dattilio
reacted to her Shining
Star award.
A: It was a family.
They were so grateful and
welcoming. You could tell
that Camp had touched
them in a way no one else
had, and I hoped to be a
part of it.
Q: How did you get
involved with Camp TaKum-Ta?
A: My dad has had
cancer three times. I
wanted to give back. [Six
years ago,] I went to the
KOOL 105 office to hand
deliver a donation [to
Camp Ta-Kum-Ta] during
a fundraiser in December,
and the people who I met
there from Camp were
so amazing that as soon
as I got home I filled out
my form and signed up to
volunteer.
Q: Who are the campers
at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta?
A:
Campers
are
children who have or who
have had cancer between
the ages of 7 and 17. Many
campers are in treatment,
and many havenÕ t been in
treatment for years and
are in remission.
They are kids. They
come off the bus and are
so full of wonder and
excitement to what the
week will bring. They put
their worries and all that
goes along with having or
having had cancer aside.
Q: What was it about
the Camp Ta-Kum-Ta
people at the radio
station that made you
want to volunteer?
Q: How important is
Camp Ta-Kum-Ta for
the campers?
A: Incredibly important.
Camp gives campers other
kids to relate to. In real
life itÕ s unusual to have
another person in your
peer group who is going
through similar things.
Everyone at Camp has
something in commonÉ it
is not necessarily spoken
about, but it is understood.
They get to come to
Camp and just be kids;
they donÕ t have to worry.
It is a little oasis.
Q: What does it mean
to you to receive this
award?
A: It is a huge honor
to have been given [this
award] because I get so
much more from being at
camp, from my peers and
from the kids than I could
ever give. I always say itÕ s
the most selfish thing I do.
It is a huge honor for me
to be recognized for this
work.

Ò We are hoping youÕ ll
support us as citizens
and continue to not only
plow our road but to take
responsibility and support
us year round,Ó
said
resident Kristin Gehsmann.
Ò I urge you to consider the
public good and the need of
your citizens.Ó
Residents
assess
themselves an annual fee
to maintain the road, but
their fund is unable to
accommodate the washout
damage that took place in
May. Selectboard member
Mike Plageman said he
expects heavy rain events
to become more frequent
and suggested residents
increase their assessments
to create an emergency
repair fund.
Plageman
and
selectboard member Brad
Luck leaned toward not
providing town help.
Ò ItÕ s a fairness issue
and we would have great
difficulty saying no to
anybody else in that
situation,Ó Plageman said.
Ò I feel for the people who
live there. I really do. But
it comes down to an issue of
fairness in my mind.Ó
The other roads in town
that were damaged in the
flood, with the exception of
the destroyed Weed Road,
are between 65 and 100
percent repaired, according
to Lutz. There were 13 town
roads that needed repairs.
The town has floated the
funds for the repairs in
hopes of at least a 75 percent
reimbursement
from
the Federal Emergency
Management Agency and
a possible additional 15
percent from the Vermont
Department of Emergency
Management.
Weed

is
impassable, and the large
swath that was washed

Ò Cash and profitability
from this plant to IBM has

said. Ò This plant has been a
good producer. That doesnÕ t
mean the company and the
(downward) shift hasnÕ t had
an adverse impact on this
plant.Ó
Ò I always hear good news
when I ask IBM employees
how IBM is doing. Maybe itÕ s

the only one who really knows
whatÕ s going to happen.Ó
The companyÕ s workforce
is currently estimated at
4,000, down from a peak of
roughly 8,000 in 2001.
Ô COMMITED TO
VERMONTÕ
In a statement last
week, IBM Spokesman Jeff
Couture said: Ô Ô some level of
workforce remix is a constant
requirement for our business.
Given the competitive nature
of our industry, we do not
publicly discuss the details of
staffing plans.Õ
Ò IBM is investing in
growth areas for the future:
Big Data, cloud computing,
social business and the
growing mobile computing
opportunity,Ó
Couture
continued, saying that the
microchips
produced
in
Essex are aimed at Ò highvalue market segments of the
industry,Ó including many of
the worldÕ s largest consumer
electronics brands.
Essex
economic
development
commission
chairman
Greg
Morgan
said
his
conversations
with friends who are IBM
employees have led him to
believe that workers in Essex
feel good about the prospects
for the technology produced
here but know there are
global forces at work.
Ò Because theyÕ re so good
at making their generation
of technology work, that
provides some level of
security, but itÕ s certainly not
security from a global layoff.
This was clearly a companywide layoff,Ó said Morgan.
Ò Everyone knows IBM is
critical to Essex and itÕ s
critical to the state. ItÕ s huge.
We wish they didnÕ t do it, but
these decisions are not being
made locally.Ó
Ò ThereÕ s not much we can
do, just try to diversify our
economy,Ó added Tyler.
The Department of Labor
expects to have a notification
from IBM about the size of
the layoff by July 3, Noonan
said.
Ò Our hearts go out to the
affected workers and their
families, and I pledge my
administrationÕ s
resources
to help their transition,Ó
Shumlin said in a statement
last
week
announcing
the
layoffs.
Ò IBM
has
assured us that it remains
committed to Vermont. It
will continue to invest in
new and transformational
opportunities
that
will
lead to higher value for the
company and its workers
here. Job losses are always
hard, but it is important
to remember that Vermont
currently has the thirdlowest
unemployment
rate in the country. Many
employers in Vermont are
ready to hire those with the
skills and education of these
workers. We will work hard
to maximize the Vermont job
opportunities for those who
face these layoffs.Ó
WESTFORD
from page 1a
the past, not the least of which was a remembrance of
late Westford librarian/historian Irene Allen. Rogers
said many people flocked to watch a blacksmith
from Essex as he demonstrated his craft. Christine
OÕ Donnell read the town charter to the crowd at the
White Church while Alex Weinhagen played the part
of Town Crier, ringing a bell and alerting residents
to events throughout the weekend while dressed in a
three-corner hat, white button-down shirt and black
coat.
Eleven tractors were on display outside the Red
Brick Meeting House with a variety of exhibits inside,
as well. The Historical SocietyÕ s Guy Roberge said
there was a Ò tremendous buzzÓ over the displays.
Tables included a tribute to WestfordÕ s 12 school
districts, a collection of vintage Westford-made
baskets, and a history of sugaring in town. A fabric
exhibit included dresses, quilts, jackets and petit
point needlepoint from the 1890Õ s. The oldest items
on display were a wooden canteen and a compass used
for road surveying dating back to the 1780Õ s. A tent
with old farm implements was outside the building.
A major part of the historical display was a tribute
to WestfordÕ s veterans which included dog tags, a
WWI helmet and a Civil War sword accompanied by
documentation showing it had been presented to its
owner by the State Legislature. The most moving
part of the display was a case with medals awarded
to Westford residents including a silver star, bronze
stars, purple hearts and a distinguished flying cross.
Ò People came away from that crying,Ó said Roberge.
Recreation Coordinator Armata arranged for oldfashioned childrenÕ s games like sack races, threelegged races and a tug of war. The games stopped
when residents were asked to gather for the National
Anthem and the group photo. Afterwards, both
children and adults turned to a crafts table where
the kids made yarn balls and potato stamps. The
most popular craft was the creation of an old game
called cup-and-ball, although some decidedly modern
material (Styrofoam) had to be used.
Westford capped off their Saturday festivities
with a fireworks display, courtesy of money voters
approved on Town Meeting Day specifically for the
event. Rogers said everyone agreed the pyrotechnics
were Ò spectacular.Ó
Aside from the fireworks, no
town money was used for the celebration. Generous
sponsors provided donations for all the other events
and a volunteer committee put everything together.
Rogers spent most of Saturday in the information
booth, watching townspeople as they celebrated. Ò It

was awesome,Ó she said. Ò We had more rain than we
expected but everyone still seemed to have a really
good time.Ó Rogers admitted to being exhausted at the
end of SaturdayÕ s events but pleased things had gone
so well. Ò It was well worth it,Ó she said. Ò The day
went by really fast and went off without any problems.
I guess our planning paid off.Ó
Armata agreed that the events were exhausting
but lots of fun. Ò The Green was wide open and people
were hanging out, visiting friends and doing things,Ó
she said. Ò It was a wonderful community event and it
was great to see all the generations come together. I
enjoyed it so much.Ó

In 1998, the tobacco industry settled its Medicaid lawsuit
with 46 states by, among other things, agreeing to pay the
states a minimum of $206 billion over the first 25 years of
the agreement. In Vermont, our share was estimated to total
$962 million.
In a sense, that was free money. We had no right to
expect it. True, the tobacco companies were responsible
for creating the problem in the first place, but sugar also
has an impact on public health, and the sugar industry isnt
sending us million dollar checks.
In other words, when the details of the tobacco
settlement were first understood, it should have been seen
for the potential that it held. For $30 millionplus each year,
for 25 years, we should have been able to change the states
health care culture.
But we didn’t take that route. The bulk of the money
has been used to fund the state’s Medicaid budget. A small
portion has gone to smoking cessation programs. Most
troubling, the state has now dipped into the Tobacco Trust
Fund to the extent that the balance will be an estimated
$149,000 next year.
That’s down from the $10 million balance it had a year
ago. When the fund was at its peak – pre-recession – it was
$30 million.
That wasn’t supposed to happen. Trust funds are set up
for the purpose of spending the interest, not the interest and
the principal.
It happened because the state needed to plug budget
holes, and rather than cut spending elsewhere, it tapped the
tobacco money in the trust fund.
There are several choices. The state could rebuild the
trust fund by using less of the tobacco money for Medicaid.
Or it could pass a tobacco tax, using the revenue generated
to replenish the fund. (The Legislature gave strong
consideration to raising the per pack tax by 80 cents, which
would have generated somewhere between $8 million and
$10 million annually.)
We could also hope for overdue payments from
the tobacco industry, but that is questionable, and not
something upon which to base current decisions.
Its crucial to rebuild the fund. It makes little sense to
keep plugging holes in the states Medicaid budget if there is
not an accompanying effort to discourage tobacco usage in
the first place. Vermont still has more than 20 percent of its
populace that smokes. If the smoking cessation efforts stop,
the rates will inch back up.
And we will have accomplished?
If the fund is depleted and continued tobacco settlement
payments are shuffled to the state’s Medicaid budget, will
that be the concluding statement of how Vermont used
almost a billion dollars over a full generation’s time?
Seriously?
In Vermont, we dont come close to half the amount of
money recommended by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free
Kids, the American Heart Association and the American
Lung Association for tobacco cessation programs. Only
two states, Alaska and North Dakota, fully fund the
recommended levels. Only three other states, Delaware,
Wyoming and Hawaii, meet the 50 percent level.
That’s a broken promise if there ever was one.
We need to do better in Vermont. Its pathetic that we
had such a limited vision of what could have been done with
that much money. But its even worse that we could end up
with a declining health care picture all because we could
not budget a $962 million windfall properly.

Letters to the Editor
It is us
John McClaughry’s “Gut check on
‘climate change’” (June 13) doesn’t need
a gut check, it needs a fact check. Mr.
McClaughry, who has a master’s degree
in engineering, should know better. A
simple search of the internet shows that
the two NASA (University of Alabama
at Huntsville) scientists he cites are
considered fringe, with substantial
refutation of their arguments.
The interested reader can start at
skepticalscience.com. That web site has
discussions of the real impact of solar
activity and the many other “it’s not us”
arguments that climate change skeptics
repeatedly regurgitate. I suspect that
there is no number of Irenes and
Sandys, no number of hottest years, that
could ever convince McClaughry that
human-activity-caused climate change
is real because for him it is politically
unacceptable. There is plenty of room
to debate what is the best strategy for
dealing with climate change. What is
not useful is to put our heads in the
sand and pretend that it isn’t real.

Talking about a union
This winter I walked through ice
and snow to talk with other homecare
providers like me during the short
breaks I have between clients and
after work on Saturdays. I walked
and talked because I want a Vermont
union that’s going to get behind me and
other homecare workers to improve
homecare jobs and improve the quality
of care that our consumers receive.
Homecare providers have a new
state law that immediately gives us
the right to union representation so
we can bargain collectively with the
state over pay, benefits and other
working conditions. Last month I went
to Montpelier to take advantage of
that new right by helping AFSCME’s
Vermont Homecare United file our
petition for a union election with the
Notes from the Newsletter
Vermont Labor Relations Board. This
board will conduct an election, allowing
us to take the next step in a process that
will eventually get us a contract with
the State of Vermont.
The homecare work I do saves the
state money by keeping those I care
for out of expensive nursing homes
and institutions, allowing them to
contribute to society and the economy.
But in Vermont, I make less than $10
an hour and have no health insurance,
sick days or vacation. In other states,
like Maryland and California, where
homecare workers are represented by
AFSCME, workers have received pay
increases and access to health benefits,
registries and training.
That’s why it is urgent that this
election move forward quickly so I and
other Vermont homecare providers can
finally have a voice in the workplace to
advocate not only for ourselves, but for
the Vermonters who need our care on a
daily basis.
Why am I in such a hurry? Because
I work 68 hours a week. Yet on the way
to Montpelier to file the petition for our
union election, I had to negotiate with
the power company so they wouldn’t
turn off my electricity; because I want
to be able to take a day off without
having to make it up upon my return
by working all day and night; because
I want to have a sick day rather than
working with a mask; and because
I want to have my whole heart and
soul available for those I care for, and
not spend all of my energy worrying
if there will be enough money to go to
the grocery store tomorrow to feed my
family.
This is why I walked through ice
and snow talking to other homecare
providers. I’m joining with the
thousands of providers just like me
already on board. Together, we will go
all the way. When we improve homecare
jobs, we improve the quality of care that
our customers receive. That makes a
better Vermont for everyone.

I was recently asked how many
children I have, answering with the
number of my two-legged children.
But then I explained that I have many
thousands of “children” with four legs. I
feel that every greyhound in this world
is one of those four-legged children of
mine.
Others with whom I have worked
feel similarly.
We have no tolerance for nor
understanding of the recent heinous
episode in Colchester, where two
dogs were left in a locked car with no
ventilation for many hours. That day
the temperature bordered on 90 degrees.
The helpless greyhound named Ace
(age 7) died a slow, horrific death. The
other dog with the greyhound saw this
happen. So after going home through
the greyhound adoption process Ace
died in a broiling hot car. We seek
justice for all helpless animals subject
to this criminal behavior
Save the Greyhound Dogs (STGD)
was responsible for ending greyhound
racing in Vermont in 1995 (Bill S.152).
This bill was named the “Gator Bill” by
members of the Vermont Legislature
to honor the life of my first greyhound.
Further, we have been instrumental in
helping to bring an end to live racing
in New Hampshire, as well as working
with others in Massachusetts to pass
that state’s referendum also ending
greyhound racing.
As Founder-Director of STGD and
a concerned citizen I will pursue this
tragedy, preventing other greyhounds
(and all other dogs) from going through
this such suffering and death.
Greyhounds are indeed a breed
apart and need good folks to speak
out for them. Please join me in my
commitment and passion for saving
greyhound dogs worldwide. We speak
for good people everywhere.

Each week in our e-newsletter, we ask readers for opinions on
issues reported in recent editions of the newspaper.
We also post the question to our Facebook page.
Last week we asked: “Gov. Peter Shumlin recently signed a law decriminalizing
possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. Do you envision any unintended
negative consequences of this new Vermont law?”
Here are a sampling of responses. To sign up for the e-newsletter,
go to www.essexreporter.com.
I’m going to guess that DUI charges are
going to go up as a result. Also there will be a
lot more civil fines handed out for it as people
are going to think that it is now “legal” in
Vermont to carry and smoke it, and as such

Matthew Reed
People are driving under the influence
today — oxy, heroin — you name it. We created
a task force to look at the drugged driving
issue and to make some recommendations to
the legislature to make our statutes stronger.
It is a big issue everywhere — measuring
THC in the blood is complicated and isn’t
necessarily a sign that you are high. It can
stay in a person’s blood for weeks and so we
need to make sure that we have a good solid
process in place. We will also likely look at the
issue of lowering the blood alcohol level to .05.
The NTSB recently recommended that states
revise their statutes.
Linda Waite-Simpson
(Waite-Simpson is a representative of Essex
Junction in the Vermont Legislature)
Not that I’m against revising statutes
for drunk/drugged driving, but I can’t help
but think that lowering the level to .05 will
only add more convictions... not necessarily
reduce the behavior or make the roads safer.
Unfortunately.

If your vehicle’s air-conditioning
system isn’t working properly, it
may be that the condenser is clogged
with leaves, bugs, or road debris that
compromises its ability to remove
heat from the refrigerant. The result
of a dirty condenser is lower cooling
capacity, higher pressure inside the
air conditioner, and greater wear
on the compressor. To avert such
problems, look for the condenser in
its position mounted in front of the
radiator and clean it with compressed
air or pressurized water. If problems
persist, they are likely caused by
something that can only be diagnosed
and corrected by a trained automobile
technician. It is better to have the
problem diagnosed before hot
weather makes the driving experience
uncomfortable.

Pet of the Week
Athena
6 year old Spayed Female
Reason Here: Owners moved and could not take her.
SUMMARY: When it comes to getting adopted, some cats are
great at advocating for themselves. Some cats, like Athena, need
help. Relinquished on Valentine’s Day, Athena is currently our
longest-term feline resident. Why? Because she’s too shy
to emerge from
her cat tree cubby to say hello
to strangers. Last Saturday,
the universe sent Athena a
gift: Rebecca and her husband
stopped by HSCC because they
wanted to do something to honor
the memory of their beloved black
cat Bear, who recently passed.
While meeting the cats at the
shelter, they made note of each kitty
sporting a solid black coat, like Bear.
Then, they sponsored the adoption fees
of every single one of them. Rebecca
sought to create some goodness in the
face of her pain; we can’t think of a better
legacy for one black cat than helping four black
cats find the sort of love he knew. Athena, we just
know you’re soon to find your belated Valentine.

Michael
Jacob Ò MeistahÓ Deutsch,
41,
passed
away
unexpectedly at his home
in Essex on June 12, 2013.
The local music community
was stunned and saddened
to learn that the musician
known
familiarly
as
Ò Meistah,Ó
had passed
away. He was a talented
multi-instrumentalist
musician who played in
a number of local bands,
including, among others,
Outer
Mongolia,
the
Black Sea Quartet and,
most
recently,
Space
Tiger. That last band was
fronted by his son, Aidan
Patterson Deutsch. People
will remember Mike in
his many roles, because
Mike took on so many
roles in his life. First and
most importantly, he was
a father; to Aidan who
made him proud every
day, and to Charlotte who
simply lit up his life. He
and the love of his life,
Ericka, bought a house
together in Essex, ran off
to Hawaii to get married,
and then settled down
to raise a family. Mike
was a musician, skilled
and creative on the
mandolin and many other
instruments. He was the
Chief Financial Officer of
Healthy Living Market
and CafŽ, where he did
creative work, setting up
systems and strategies.
He was a huge and happy
part of the Healthy Living
Community, and will be
missed so very much by
everyone there.
Mike leaves behind his
wife, Ericka; a son Aidan;
daughter Charlotte; his
parents Max and Miriam
(Rittner) Deutsch; a sister
Robyn Deutsch, his Uncle
Norman Rittner and wife
Roberta, his cousins ReneeÕ

earned their first trip to the Division I
softball championship game with an 8-0
rout of Essex.
The HornetsÕ last softball loss came
in the 2011 semifinals, when they lost
1-0 to eventual titlist Brattleboro.
MVUÕ s recent trips to Essex for
semifinals provided some of the stateÕ s
most exciting games, with each going
into extra innings, but none ending
well for the Thunderbirds. The Hornets
rallied to tie last yearÕ s meeting with a
seventh-inning home run, then won it
in the 12th with another homer. In 2008
Essex won 1-0 on a walkoff hit in the
eighth inning and in 2009 the Hornets
came within two outs of a perfect game
for MVUÕ s Danielle Magnant before
tying it, winning a 12-inning marathon
after the T-Birds stranded EssexÕ s
potential winning run at third base
three times in extra innings.
Raleigh said that given their
history, getting to the championship
game through Essex was particularly
rewarding:
Ò I donÕ t think anyone expects to beat
Essex like that. I knew it would be a
close game and I was ready for it. As
soon as you get a little ahead everyone
gets so pumped up,Ó she said of games
against the Hornets. Ò ItÕ s always
exciting.Ó
The schoolsÕ 2013 semifinal meeting
was delayed by MVUÕ s quarterfinal
at Mt. Anthony, which was postponed
six times before finally getting onto
the field Saturday. The first attempt
at a semifinal was also pushed back
by weather, and stormy forecasts
threatened to wipe out MondayÕ s
attempt as well.
In the end, the only thunder came
from MissisquoiÕ s highly charged bats.
Emily Gold led the 12-hit assault
with a 4-for-4 day that included two
doubles Ñ
a game-changing two-run
shot after a delay in the third inning
and a blast to the fence in left to launch
a three-run seventh inning that put it
out of reach. Gold drove in three runs in
all and scored three times.
The hitters in front of and behind
Gold were just as deadly to the Hornets,
with Raleigh and Katie Campbell
combining for four hits, three runs and
two RBI. Raleigh (two singles, two runs
and a rocket line drive that backup
Essex shortstop Brenda Gilbert made

a nice catch on), while Campbell hit
consecutive RBI doubles to the fence in
center field.
Hannah Boudreau added an RBI
double, Kelli Patterson came up with a
huge base hit to drive in Gold for a 1-0
lead in the top of the second, Sommer
Libbey (single, error, walk, run) reached
base three times, Kirstin Ward singled
and scored a run, and Liz Hakey set up
MissisquoiÕ s final run with a perfect
pinch-hit bunt.
It ended up being far more offense
than Raleigh needed.
Striking out seven without walking
a batter, the senior ace gave up just
three scattered singles and only one
of those three runners made it as far
as second base. The Hornets were offbalance at the plate all day, with all
but two of their in-play outs coming on
mostly routine fly balls.
It was a stunning change for a team
that had been held to as few as three
runs just once all season and averaged
better than 10 a game during the
regular season.
Essex senior Jessica Barnett led off
the bottom of the second with a bunt
single and was bunted to second by
pitcher Allison Rutz, but Raleigh struck
out the next two.
The Hornets were set down in order
in the third, fourth and fifth as Raleigh
retired 14 in a row before Danis bounced
a two-out single through the right side.
Patterson ended the inning moments
later with a nice catch in shallow right
field. In the seventh, Taylor Picard led
off with a hit into left, but three straight
fly balls to the outfield ended the game.
MVU coach Jay Hartman said
assistant coach Rich McVicker and
catcher Molly Metayer worked perfectly
with Raleigh to keep Essex from finding
any offensive traction.
Ò She mixes her pitches well,Ó
Hartman said. Ò The one thing she
did really well...was when we got two
strikes on them we brought it up. Molly
set a great target behind the plate, and
they were swinging at those pitches up
around the letters. They couldnÕ t catch
up with her. She got ahead of them, and
that changes your whole philosophy.
Once you get that second strike on you,
you have to hit defensively and just
hope you put the ball in play.
Ò The defense was perfect today. We
played very well behind her, and we
made the plays we had to make. The big
thing today was we didnÕ t let them get
into scoring position often.Ó
Ò You donÕ t win unless you score,Ó
Essex coach Randy Wells noted. Ò ThatÕ s
where it starts, and we just didnÕ t hit
well today.Ó
Wells said Raleigh Ñ
a four-year
varsity pitcher Ñ was a big reason for
that:
Ò Dakota did a great job. SheÕ s a good
pitcher, a good kid and sheÕ s fun to play
against.Ó
Both coaches said MVU could just
as easily have ended EssexÕ s bid for
a second straight undefeated season
when they met on April 25 Ñ a game
the Hornets came back to win with the
help of some T-Bird mistakes in the
field and on the base paths.
Ò They could have beat us back in
the middle of the year; that would have
been better,Ó Wells said with a smile.
But MissisquoiÕ s pitching, defense
and hitting in the rematch did not leave
the Hornets any hope of rallying the
way they did that day or in the teamsÕ
past three semifinals. Essex misplayed
a few balls that could have been outs on
Monday, but when youÕ re out-hit 12-3
overall and 6-0 for extra bases, a few
plays arenÕ t the difference.
The Thunderbirds put at least two
aboard in all but the first and sixth
innings, starting the offensive party in

Essex falls to CVU in finals
By NATHAN ALLEN
Essex High School made its seventh
straight appearance in the Division
I boysÕ lacrosse state championship
on Monday night. But the top-seeded
Hornets fell to No. 6 Champlain Valley
Union, 7-6, marking the third year in a
row that Essex has lost by a painfully
narrow margin.
Ò ItÕ s too bad that we werenÕ t able
to do it tonight. WeÕ ve got a few guys
on the team that have been (in this
position) for three years,Ó said Essex
senior Luc LeBlanc. Ò Coach Corkum
inspired us to work hard and practice
so we could make it this far and we had
a great season.Ó
Essex (16-3) went head-to-head
against Champlain Valley (14-5) on
the turf of Castleton State CollegeÕ s
Spartan Stadium. Carrying the
momentum from its 12-3 routing of
second-seeded Mount Anthony in
semifinals last week, CVU got the best
of the early play and racked up a 4-1
lead by halftime. It seemed like the
Hornets were playing a different team
than the one they defeated 14-7 in a
mid-season matchup last month. Steel
Dubrul, Eliot Mitchell, Alex Bullat and
Hoyt McCuin recorded first-half goals
for the Redhawks, while James Olson
tallied the HornetsÕ only goal.
The third quarter of the matchup
featured Essex in possession of the ball
more and more while finding better
chances for scoring against CVU goalie
Owen Hudson (eight saves) and his
stingy defense. At the end of the third
quarter, the momentum seemed to be
in EssexÕ s favor but the team still faced
a three-point deficit.
The
final
quarter
started
dramatically as Essex began to claw
its way back into the game while CVU
clung to its lead. Essex senior Keenan
Weischedel scored directly from the
face-off and his teammate Bradan
Merril put one in a few minutes later.

“We had a great year, so it’s hard to end it this way…They
matched us in the second half, we’d get one and then they’d
get one and we just couldn’t get over the hump.”
Coach Dean Corkum
With less than six minutes on the
clock, Matthew Palmer took one back
for CVU and the Hornets responded
immediately with a superb effort from
LeBlanc. With a score of 6-5 and time
running out, the championship seemed
up for grabs.
With a little more than two
minutes remaining in regulation,
Alex Bullat scored his second goal of
the evening to put Champlain Valley
ahead by two goals, 7-5. The final two
minutes were a flurry of action with
scoring opportunities for both sides.
Leblanc struck for the second time of
the evening and again it looked like
Essex was going to succeed in staging
a comeback. But Champlain ValleyÕ s
defense and HudsonÕ s goalie stick
smothered the last second attempts
by Essex, clinching the win for the
Redhawks.
Ò We had a great year, so itÕ s hard to
end it this way,Ó said Essex coach Dean
Corkum. Ò Clearly they are a very good
team. They matched us in the second
half, weÕ d get one and then theyÕ d get
one and we just couldnÕ t get over the
hump.Ó
The loss marked the HornetsÕ first
lost to a Vermont team this season.
whirlwind week ended school Ð except for
those ultra-valuable in-service/make-up
days Ð and summer vacation has finally
arrived. No Ò IÕ m boredÓ statements coming from
anyone this summer! Relax, enjoy the rest of June,
all of July and most of August. High school sports,
including the Essex Hornets, should be completed
by the time this column hits the print. The EHS
athletic office was a buzz last week rescheduling
games, waiting for other playoffs games to be
completed and discussing championship venues.
HereÕ s what we know so far:
Baseball
The top-seeded, 16-2 EHS baseball team
defeated Colchester 2-1 in an exciting extrainning game last week. Luke Salerno shut down
the Lakers, and Joey Robertson knocked in the
winning run in the ninth to vault the Hornets into
the D-I baseball championship game Monday night
at Centennial Field. The defending champion CVU
Red Hawks provide the opposition. Essex defeated
CVU 3-1 back in early May in their only meeting
of the spring.
Softball
The top-seeded, 16-0 Hornet softball team
last played on June 6 when Essex beat St. J in
quarterfinals. The team was finally scheduled
to host the D-I semifinals against MVU Sunday,
but É
of courseÉ
the game was rained out.
After waiting all week for MVU to play MAU in
Bennington and after rain out after rain out after
rain out, the T-Birds finally played, and then beat,
the Patriots. Then Essex and MVU were rained out
Sunday. The game was rescheduled for Monday
with the winner advancing to the championship
game on Tuesday against Brattleboro, the Õ 10
winner.
BoysÕ lacrosse
The boysÕ lacrosse team advanced to the state
championship game by dodging one rain out a
week ago Tuesday, then blitzing Brattleboro 14-3
in semifinal action. The Hornets advanced to the
championship game last Monday against CVU.
Calm, cool, intelligent minds got together and
discussed the possibility of the EHS-CVU final
being played in the north where locals could watch
without traveling over two hoursÉ but at deadline
no official announcement was made.
Track and field
The track teams competed in the 38th annual
Jerry P. Jasinski Vermont State Decathlon and
Heptathlon Championships sponsored by VTFOA
and 802 Timing (Pavel Dvorak and crew) last week.
The two-day meet was run Monday and Tuesday
at UVM (smart recruiting move) beginning at 10
a.m. for the boys both days and at 11 a.m. for the
gals. The decathlon includes: (first day) - 100m,
Long Jump, Shot Put, High Jump, and 400m;
(second day) -110m high hurdles, Discus, Pole
Vault, Javelin, and 1500m. The heptathlon is
comprised of: (first day) - 100m high hurdles, Long
Jump, Shot Put, 200m; (second day) Ð High Jump,
Javelin, and 800m. Essex athletes competing
included Bobby Evans, Jacob Rodriguez, Ryan
Perry, Tim Yandow, Jeremy Jarvis, Nick
Minadeo, Izzy Federico, Katherine Furland, Olivia
Dimambro, Abby Evans, Madison Stephenson, and
Amanda Sinkewicz. Performances and results will
be listed next week. Antonia Armstrong-Laird and
Mickey Krug have been instrumental in preparing
the team for this end-of-season meet. Mary Krug
returned to help as well. They took the baton form
long-time Essex coach and decathlon/heptathlon
guru, Dave Gomez, and have done an outstanding
job! I thank them and the athletes for their efforts.

t-shirt or sweatshirt during the season from Fan
Cloth may pick up their gear on Thursday morning
from 9:10 a.m. in the athletic office.

Personal notes
AD Ed Hockenbury and
assistant Todd Herrington
continue to work even after
school is over. Our rainouts
and
postponements
of
other teamÕ s playoff games
has made life more than
interesting in Hornet-land,
but these two gentlemen
have
worked
diligently
and logically to get the job
done. Field manager Gary
Stewart and his staff have
put in more than extra
effort everyday, in the rain
and under the sun, to keep
our fields in shape for postseason play. Nice job!
Congratulation

Gold got on with the first
of her four straight hits, a
one-out single. She moved
to second when CampbellÕ s
ground ball was misplayed
Ñ
the first of five Essex
errors Ñ and came home on
PattersonÕ s two-out single
into left-center field.
Things took a turn for
the worse for the home
team in a wild third inning,
when the Hornets lost their
shortstop, an apparent
inning-ending call and
two runs in a frame that
featured a weekÕ s worth of
action on the base paths.
Libbey led off with a
walk and barely beat a
throw to second when she
was picked off first base,
but was called out when
she briefly came off second
base as shortstop Olivia
Mueller tagged her. Ward
drew a walk, but also came
perilously close to being
thrown out when she got
too far off first on Megan
RowellÕ s sharp line drive to
center field. Elise Contois
made a nice charge to take
a hit away from Rowell and
her throw to first was in
time to double Ward off for
the third out, but the ball
got away and Ward ended
up at second. Raleigh
followed with a singled

unless you score.
That’s where it

right up the middle, and
as Mueller turned toward
the ball Ward Ñ headed for
third Ñ slammed into her,
knocking the fielder down
and out of the game with
a bloody nose. The field
umpire called Ward out for
interfering, prompting an
argument from Hartman
and McVicker. Eventually,
the umpires conferred and
reversed that call, ruling
that the shortstop had no
chance at playing the ball.
After substitute shortstop
Gilbert
completed
the
10-minute delay by taking
few ground balls, Gold
stepped into the box and
immediately crushed the
first pitch for a two-run
double.
Instead of being out of
the inning still down by
just one, Essex was in a 3-0
hole and was without its
starting shortstop.
MVU wasnÕ t able to
add to its lead in the fourth
despite a two-out walk to
No. 9 hitter Boudreau and
an error on LibbeyÕ s ground
ball, but the T-Birds plated
two in the fifth for a 5-0
lead.
Rutz battled back from
a 3-0 hole to get the first
out on strikes, though that
just left her to face Raleigh,
Gold and Campbell again.
Raleigh drove the first pitch
into right-center field for
a hit. She, too, was caught
off first base by catcher
BarnettÕ s strong throw, and
might have been out had
the relay to second not been
dropped for another error.
Gold scored Raleigh with a
single to left, taking second
on a no-chance throw to the
plate. Campbell followed
with the first of her two
straight blasts to the
center-field fence, a double
that scored pinch-runner
Autumn Beyor from second.
Essex escaped without
further damage on a cleanly
played bunt and a great
play by second baseman
Karyn Svarczkopf, who
knocked a hard one-hopper
down and threw from her
knees in time for the inningending out. The Hornet
also got through the sixth,
with Rutz striking out two
and getting a great catch in
deep left field from Danis to
take away extra bases from
Rowell and strand Libbey
at third after a double and
error.
The Hornets were less
fortunate in the seventh,

Gilbert, from left to right, get together during a break in the
action of Monday’s Division I softball semifinal.
when Missisquoi put the
game out of reach with
three runs on three doubles
and another error.
Gilbert got the first
out on RaleighÕ s frozenrope line drive to short,
but three of the next
four batters scored. Gold
slammed a double to the
fence in left, and Campbell
quickly drove her home
with her second straight
shot to deep center. Hakey
came in to hit and dropped
a perfect bunt toward the
circle, advancing Campbell
to third. She scored from
there
when
Patterson
lined a one-hopper off the
second basemanÕ s foot and
Patterson came all the
way around from first on
BoudreauÕ s RBI double to
finish the scoring.
Ò TheyÕ re a good team,Ó
Wells said of MVU. Ò TheyÕ re
experienced. TheyÕ re a
mature team. YouÕ ve got to
tip your hat to them. They
had a good day.Ó
His Hornets, for the first
time in many years against
Missisquoi, simply did not
have a good day. Though
disappointed to lose their
shot at a second straight
undefeated season and
state title one game before
returning to Poultney, the
Hornets bring back plenty
of players to be a contender
again in 2014, and those
who graduated do so with
a perfect 2012 campaign to
their names.
Ò These girls have done
a great job. TheyÕ re a great
bunch of kids,Ó Wells said.
Ò TheyÕ ll come back next
again year.Ó
He noted that the
game would be a learning
experience
for
those
who return, especially
his pitcher, who was a
revelation as a freshman
and filled some massive
shoes after the graduation
of Alexis Perry.
Ò ItÕ s always good to
leave your changeup high,Ó
he said, still smiling, Ò and
let it get crushed before you
know you canÕ t leave it up
high.Ó

is an unusual crater due to
its oval shape, which was
created by a low angle impact
located on the far side of the
moon. Some of the objects
surrounding the crater indicate

characteristic. Students used

Spotlight on Ginny Joyner
Current
Exhibits
September
BY SUSAN BONDARYK
The Essex Reporter
Interested in learning
watercolors? Want to hone your
brush technique? Learn from one of
the best.
Illustrator and watercolor
extraordinaire, Ginny Joyner has
opened her Colchester home once
again to all skill levels this summer.
Whether you’re a beginner and
have never picked up a brush — or
you’re a regular Monet — Joyner’s
classes provide an opportunity
to practice, dabble and of course,
socialize.
“I’m never critical; it’s a very
non-judgmental class,” Joyner
explained. “My students say
I’m too nice and I take that as a
compliment.”
Her classes, which occur every
Wednesday evening in her studio
home in Fort Ethan Allen, have a
laid back feel – which is a result of
Joyner's teaching style.
“My ultimate goal is for people
to continue painting,” said Joyner.
Students can bring personal
projects or work from what Joyner
has set-up that evening — usually
a fruit-filled still-life display, stacks
of hardcover books or delicately
painted teacups.
But looking around Joyner’s
home-studio, there’s really no end
to the possibilities. Every inch and
corner is a work of art. Her style
is a mix of romantic and eclectic
— with just a touch of whimsy.
The historic Fort home was the
old Administration Building when
actual officers lived on Officers
Row, which means it features
12-foot ceilings, floor-to ceiling
windows, expansive rooms and lots
and lots of light. Joyner has used all
of this to her advantage; the result
is the ultimate gallery showcase for
her work – a masterpiece she's been
building for the past 17 years.
All of Joyner’s freelance work is
on display. Since graduating
from the Rhode Island
School of Design in 1986
with a degree in illustration,
she’s enjoyed consistent
commercial success.
Vermont-based handbag
company, Flashbags has
used some of her prints
on their products. So
has Vermont Teddy Bear
Company. Suicide Six and
Sugarbush had her illustrate
their trail maps. And
then there are the endless
amount of companies that
use her graphic designs
and illustrations for their
marketing campaigns.
“Freelance is tricky;
you have to know how to
network,” said Joyner. “I’m
self-taught and I have a
giant Mac computer. I’m
more apt to give people
something creative with a personal
touch. I find that nowadays, people
are asking for things rather than
just going online and doing it
themselves.”
But who’s her favorite client?
New Hampshire-based skin care
company, Badger Balm. Over the
years, Joyner takes turns with
another artist decorating Badger
Balm’s labels with the company’s
trademark badger doing all sorts
of activities — depending on the
product he’s promoting.
When Badger Balm told Joyner
about their newest line of mustache
wax for men, Joyner was asked to
develop "Steam punk Badger" – a
sophisticated little guy ready to
explore space and time in his 1920's
aviation hat, goggles, and of course,
a mustache. Keep an eye out for this
new line coming soon.
Between freelancing and
teaching, Joyner still manages to
“STUDENTS OF LISA FORSTER BEACH.”

the artist. June 23-July 14. Emile A Gruppe

Cheese & Pastries
By Ginny Joyner
attend local festivals and shows.
You may have seen her booth at
the Vermont Flower Show this
past March. Or maybe you visited
her home during Open Studio on
Memorial Day weekend. What’s
next? On July 21, she’ll display her
work again at the Shelburne Cheese
Festival.
“I meet a lot of people at
shows,” Joyner imparted. “Word of
mouth is wonderful.”
Sign up for one – or many –
of Joyner's studio classes every
Wednesday evening at her home
in Fort Ethan Allen – 504B Dalton
Drive in Colchester.
Classes cost $30 and last three
hours — from 5:30-8:30 p.m.

Area quilters exhibiting quilts
in Vermont Quilt Festival contest
Over 250 contest entrants of all ages from the U.S., Canada and
abroad have entered the quilt contest at Vermont Quilt Festival —
New England’s premier quilt event. They include area residents
Wendy J. Thompson of Colchester, and Beth Giard, Jeannete
Harrison and Jane Masenas, all of Essex Junction. Two young people
have quilts in the Youth Contest; they are Craig Bouffard, 6, and
Savannah Wagemann, 10, both of Essex Junction.
The quilts are evaluated by a panel of nationally known quilt
judges. Winners of the competition are announced on Thursday
evening, June 27, during the Awards Ceremony at the Champagne
and Chocolate Preview. This year, the judged contest awards
ribbons in several categories, along with special sponsored awards
presented from Janome America/ Bittersweet Fabric Shop, Fairfield
Processing Corporation, Handi Quilter and the Machine Quilters
Lumber
Exposition. The always-festive evening is sponsored by Quilting
Treasures of Rhode Island.
The Festival, now in its 37th year, takes place June 28 through
June 30 at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction. The
winning quilts are on display throughout the three-day weekend.
Several other exhibits of antique and new work, classes, lectures,
appraisals, free gallery talks and vendor demonstrations, and a
bustling merchants mall add to the excitement. Visit www.vqf.org for
more information.
The Festival, New England’s oldest and largest quilt event, is
a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of the art
of quilting and the education and enrichment of the lives of its
participants.

Q:
What
is
the
Vermont Farm to Family
Program?
A: The Vermont Farm
to Family Program helps

food vouchers have been
redeemed at the Burlington
FarmersÕ Market from the
Vermont Farm to Family
Program.
Burlington FarmersÕ Market
Manager: Christopher Wagner
By TRACEY MEDEIROS
The Burlington FarmersÕ
Market is offered yearround. It consists of two
markets; an outdoor market
held in the warmer months,
and an indoor market that
is opened during VermontÕ s
chilly winters. Since 1980
the Burlington Summer
FarmersÕ Market has been
held every Saturday, from
late spring through autumn,
in downtown BurlingtonÕ s
City Hall Park. More than
80 stands overflow with
seasonal produce, flowers,
artisan wares, prepared
foods and much more.
In 2008, the Burlington
Winter FarmersÕ Market
opened. This market has
greatly benefited from the
growing interest in buying
local, as well as the great
fortune of having many
farms and studios nearby.
Sheltered from the snowy
Vermont
weather,
the
indoor marketplace bustles
with locals and visitors
every
other
Saturday
from November to April.
Each product available at
the winter and summer
farmersÕ
markets
is
produced, grown, or crafted
in the state of Vermont.
The
Burlington
FarmersÕ Market Manager
Chris Wagner recently
shared some information
about the market.
Q: How would you
describe the Burlington
FarmersÕ Market?
A: As one of VermontÕ s
oldest and largest farmersÕ
markets, the year-round
Burlington
FarmersÕ
Market provides residents
and visitors with a bounty
of fresh, locally grown
produce, handmade crafts,
prepared foods, meat and
cheeses from VermontÕ s
lush
pastures.
The
market has a year-round
market leadership and
management
consisting
of a market manger and a
steering committee. The
steering committee consists
of eight elected vendors:
president, vice president,
secretary, treasurer and
representatives for craft,
agriculture, prepared foods
and the community.
Together,
we
are
responsible for making
decisions on behalf of the
market and representing
Q: How did you
become involved with
the market?
A: I started six years ago
as the marketÕ s manager.
The steering committee was
looking for a new manager
that was not a vendor at the
market.
Q:
How
do
you
choose
the
vendors/
participants? How many
vendors do you have?
A: There is a sevenmember steering committee
that reviews over 75
applications each year.
The goal of the steering
committee is to balance
what we already have at
the market in order to
avoid over representation of
similar products. This year
we have 83 vendors.
Q: What are the
main
advantages
of
purchasing
locally
produced
foods
at
farmersÕ markets?
A:
By
purchasing
locally produced foods at
the farmerÕ market you are
getting to know the farmers
and the producers. This
creates relationships as
well as building trust with
the person you are buying
from. Also, the money you
spend at the markets stays
in the community, which
means you get to support
the farm first hand.
I would like to personally
thank the community for
supporting us. We enjoy
being the resource for local
products.
Q: What tips would
you give consumers to
get the most from visiting
a farmersÕ market?
A: I would recommend
come early, bring a list of
what you are looking for,
and plan on being drawn
to items you didnÕ t plan on
buying because everything
looks great.

Zucchini spread
Serving: 3 cups
Since zucchini has a very high water content,
it is important to squeeze out as much moisture as
possible before processing it. Serve this spread with
crackers, bread rounds, or fresh raw vegetables.
Ingredients:
3 cups finely shredded zucchini (about 2
medium zucchini)
8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice plus 1/2 teaspoon grated
lemon zest
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Method of preparation:
Wrap the zucchini in a clean dishtowel and
squeeze out the excess moisture. Process the
zucchini, cream cheese, cilantro, oil, lemon juice,
Parmesan and garlic in a food processor until
smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl
as needed. Spoon the mixture into a serving
bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or
overnight.
Season the spread with salt and pepper to taste,
sprinkle with lemon zest and serve.
This recipe is contributed by farmer Sue Wells
for the Burlington FarmersÕ Market and is an
