How the New Shoreland Protection
Act Affects You
By: Susan Davis
At the bitter end of the 2014 Legislative session, the Shoreland Protection Act
was passed thus establishing new state regulations that are to guide shoreland
development. The law is intended to protect water quality, preserve habitat and
natural shorelines and protect the economic and recreational benefits of lakes and
their shorelines. The law goes into effect July 1, 2014.
Last week, Trey Martin and Susan Warrant, members of Vermont’s Department
of Environmental Conservation, along with Grand Isle County representatives Bob
Krebs and Mitzi Johnson held an informational meeting at the Fish Hatchery in
Grand Isle.
“The thrust of the bill addresses new development,” said Martin. “We’re not
going to unwind the clock and go backward. The state wants to preserve as much
vegetation as possible,”
Andrea Champagne
he said. “And if there are

SCHOOL NEWS
By: Eric Arnzen, Principal
As we draw near to the end of the school year,
I wanted to update you on a couple of recent
developments within our school community. First,
Grand Isle School has formed a committee that
is engaging in work around our master schedule.
The committee has been collecting information to
help inform our decision around a single start and
end time to our school day. A survey was created
and publicized through the Wildcat Wisdom and
made available on our school’s website. Out of
the fourteen respondents, thirteen individuals
are in favor of a common start and end time.
This is good information as we continue to move
forward in the process.
In learning more about busing, I believe it is
imperative for there to be enough seats on the
bus to transport all of our students to and from
school. In keeping with two buses, this is just
not possible. The spring bus study revealed that
when combining the first and second runs, we
have a maximum number of 51 students riding.
What we need to take into account is that ridership
decreases in the spring months because of
walkers and bike riders, thus increasing numbers
in the winter. I also anticipate that a common start
and end time would result in increased ridership
overall. In order for a common start and end
time, a third bus would be necessary, and just not
possible at this point due to budget constraints.
Therefore, in moving forward with our student
day, we will continue with a staggered start and
end time with one adjustment. Next year, the fifth
graders will begin at 7:45 am, ending at 2:25 pm
along with K to 4 students. Grade 6 to 8 students
will continue to begin their day at 8:45 am and
ending at 3:25 pm. This will allow for the design
of K to 2, 3 to 5, and 6 to 8 grade bands.
Second, a committee has been engaged in
interviewing for a kindergarten teacher. Current
registration shows that 26 kindergarten students
will be attending Grand Isle School next year,
therefore we will have two kindergarten classes.
We are in the final stages of the hiring process.
A recommendation has been made to our
Superintendent, Robert Phillips and brought
forward to the school board. Once finalized, the
placement process will begin.
COMMUNITY TEA TO HONOR TEACHERS
All are invited to a Community Tea honoring
Grand Isle School’s departing staff. The open
house event will be held on Tuesday, June 17,
from 5 to 6:30 pm, at the Grand Isle School.
Please join us for refreshments as we honor
the dedicated service of Deb Bedrin: 42 years
Shelley Grant-Farrell: 29 years, Judy Duval: 18
years, Tammy Davis: 11 years, Kathy Roszman:
8 years and Anna Hill: 1 year. All are welcome
and encouraged to attend!
UPCOMING SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS
Town of Grand Isle residents are welcome
to attend any school board meetings to keep
up to date on the Grand Isle School. The next
meetings are Monday, June 9, which will be
a budget informational meeting, as well as,
Monday, June 23. Both meetings are held in the
Grand Isle School Library starting at 6:30 pm.
PRESENTATION AT THE
HYDE LOG CABIN
At 7 pm on Tuesday, June 10, there will
be a presentation about a mourning brooch,
connected with the Jedediah Hyde, Jr. family.
It is being donated to the Hyde Log Cabin by
Fran Parrot Parkhurst and Nicky Parrot Gardner.
The event will be in the historic yellow “Block”
schoolhouse on the Hyde Log Cabin property
next door to the Grand Isle Elementary School
on Route 2. In addition, Charlene Southwick,
docent at the Hyde Log Cabin for over ten years,
will relate interesting information about the Cabin
and its visitors. Everyone is welcome, no charge,
refreshments will be served, handicap access.
Sponsored by the Grand Isle Historical Society.
For more information, contact Fay Chamberlin,
President, 372-8339.

NEW BOOKS: Mastering the Art of Soviet
Cooking: A Memoir of Food and Loving by
Anya Von Bremzen- Born in a surreal Moscow
communal apartment where eighteen families
shared one kitchen, the author grew up singing
odes to Lenin, black-marketeering Juicy Fruit
gum at school, and longing for a taste of the
mythical West. It was a life by turns absurd,
drab, naively joyous, melancholy and, finally,
intolerable.

Book Club that is held at the Grand Isle United
Methodist Church every other Tuesday evening
from 6:30 to 8 pm. Everyone is welcome! Don’t
hesitate to contact the Library at 372-4797.14

#60 had also sponsored an essay contest for the
7th and 8th graders that asked the students to
share what Veterans and Veteran’s Day means
to them and to our country. All of the essays
submitted were beautiful and insightful, and it
was very difficult for the Legion to choose the
winners, but congratulations was extended that
day to the following student winners: 7th Grade
First Place- Jadyn Patterson, Second- Kristin
Hatin, Third- Leah Arcand and 8th grade First

SELECT BOARD NOTES
At their special meeting on May 19, State
Representative Bob Krebs and Lake Champlain
Economic Development Executive Director Ruth
Wallman discussed the Shoreland bill passed
in the legislature, but currently not yet signed
into law. Some key issues affecting the Lake
Champlain shoreland include: it is scheduled to
go into effect July 1 and a handbook should be
available; it will be enforced by the Agency of
Natural Resources; there is a 100-foot setback
buffer from the 95.5-foot lake level, and rules
for development extending back to a 250-foot
setback; currently the Town uses 75-foot as a
setback; the Town can defer to the State statutes
with State permitting and enforcement, or adopt
“functionally equivalent” rules to supersede
the State; the Town can also adopt the State
standards, then issue permits locally rather than
from the State; 100-square feet area can be
“developed” within the 100 setback buffer, but will
have to be registered with the State with a filing
fee; the State will allow best practices to mitigate
runoff and advise on vegetation planning/
trimming on nonconforming lots; there will be a

Countywide meeting with NRPC on Thursday,
June 26 to help Towns with the situation and
understanding the law.
A motion was approved to allow the Lavin
Property Working Group (LPWG) to write an
RFP for an appraisal of the Lavin Property with
a report on progress to the Selectboard at the
Monday, June 9 meeting. The LPWG website
will go live and link to the Town website under
“community links.”
There was discussion about obtaining an
appraisal for the Lavin property: It has come to
the Board’s attention that an anonymous resident
has offered to make a $500 donation toward
the appraisal, providing other residents donate
enough money to cover the whole appraisal
and no Town money is spent. Any resident who
wishes to donate may do so at Town Hall.
Sandy Gregg of the LPWG has spoken to
the Champlain Valley Appraisal Company (CVA
Co.), a company that is familiar with properties in
Grand Isle County. Other companies contacted
do not work in Grand Isle County. CVA Co. have
estimated an appraisal to be between $1,500 and
$2,000, which is below preliminary estimates. It
was noted that this company has other appraisals
pending and it would be advantageous to get on
the schedule as soon as possible to meet the
September 1 deadline. Also, it is noted that the
appraisal should be done once the waste water
capacity survey is complete.
A motion was made and adopted to pay up
to $2,000 for an appraisal using Town funds,
but offset by any possible donations once the
appraisal is complete.
The SHVFD Fire Chief Kim Julow will be
asked to come to next meeting to discuss the
Fire Warden position.
The Road Crew will be asked to sweep
sidewalks when they rent a machine to sweep
intersections.
A motion was approved to name a new private
road in Town from an application submitted by
Eloise Hedbor, Remple Road, off of West Shore
Road. The Fire Department and Rescue will be
notified.
South Street Update: The final iteration of the
rights of way letter is complete and will go out to
affected landowners.
The final draft of the White’s Beach ordinance
is complete and will be warned so it can be
adopted as an ordinance.
Since Fairpoint will not move the pole at the
East end of White’s Beach until after Memorial
weekend, the same temporary re-route
configuration as in the past will be utilized.
A motion was approved to allow the closure
of South Street for the July 4, 2014 parade at 11
am until the parade is over.
TOOL MUSEUM PROGRAM
Friday, June 6, at 6:30 pm, the Historical Society
will hold a Do You Know Your Tools? program
at the Tool Museum at Apple Island Resort off
Route 2 by the Sandbar. Ted Ingrahm, proprietor,
will introduce the collection and demonstrate
some tools. Patsy and Steve Robinson will share
their knowledge of some of the old, old tools that
they remember being used on the Robinson
farm, or that are still used today! Malcolm Allen
will help with the Guess the Mystery Tool part of
the program and share stories of his expertise
with using and designing tools to improve what
he could do with his tow truck.
The Arnold Zlotoff Tool Museum collection
includes 3,000 pieces originating from the colonial
period in the Northeastern United States. The
collection encompasses a vast variety of trades,
industries, and applications. Arnold Zlotoff was
a New York City school teacher of Industrial
Arts and a skilled mechanic. He was impressed
by the craftsmanship of the early Americans,
many of whom fashioned tools themselves or
collaborated with local blacksmiths, who would
serve as tool makers. He began collecting in the
late 1940s and continued into the 1980s. His
family purchased the barn at Apple Island Resort
which is now home to his collection. Come and
explore the collection at 6:30 and stay for the
presentation at 7 pm.
The Tool Museum is open every Saturday,
Memorial Day to Columbus Day, 10 am to 4 pm,
and admission is free. For more information, visit
www.arnoldzlotofftoolmuseum.com.

SHORELNE
Continued from page 1
Warren, who is the Program Manager, said that
there will be a guide book for shoreland owners which
will be available online beginning Friday, June 6 along
with permit application instructions and worksheets.
The main website for the entire department is www.
watershedmanagement.vt.gov. In addition, the
department will send out an informational booklet,
Lake Wise to all towns within the next few weeks.
Check with your local town clerk for availability.
So, what does the law exempt from a permit or a
registration?
A homeowner can maintain all existing buildings,
gardens and lawns and beaches but not enlarge
them; reconstruction or repair of existing impervious:
does not allow water to flow through it, structures
such as a house, deck or driveway, as long as, the
same footprint is maintained; creation of a six-foot
wide footpath or stairs to access the lake through
the Woodland Zone; removal of 250 square feet
of vegetation that is under three feet high 25 feet
from the mean water level as long as the Vegetation
Management Practices are met and the “duff” layer
is not removed; tree removal and pruning within
100 feet of the mean water level, again using the
Vegetation Management Practices.
Projects that will require the landowner to submit
a registration form are: the creation of less than
or equal to 100 square feet of impervious surface,
such as a gazebo or shed, that is located 25 feet back
from the mean water level; less than or equal to 500
square feet of new clearing or impervious surface at
least 100 feet from the mean water level.
Projects that will require the landowner to fill out
a permit application and obtain a permit before
proceeding include two sections: the redevelopment
of existing developed shoreland and the development
of undeveloped shoreland.
Redevelopment must insure that: existing wooded
areas within 100 feet of the mean water level are
maintained; new buildings, decks or driveways are
not closer to the mean water level than currently
located; total coverage of all buildings, decks and or
driveways do not exceed 20 percent of property area;
new proposed clearing does not exceed 40 percent
of the property area and that Best Management
Practices are used to offset the impact of the new
cleared area; new development takes place on
slopes of less than 20 percent unless it can be proven
that it is being done to prevent erosion; standards
are scaled down to fit a small lot that was already in
existence as of July 1, 2014.
Development of undeveloped shoreland must
insure that: the 100-foot wide Woodland Zone is
maintained using Vegetation Management Practices;
new buildings, driveways and other surfaces will be
created above the 100-foot wide Woodland Zone;
development avoids areas of the property with slopes
over 20 percent whenever possible and for lots that
are non-conforming or existing small lots, the state
will allow, with a permit, a “best-fit” scenario.
What are Vegetation Management Practices? The
definition outlines the management of plants in the
Woodland Zone using a point and grid system. For
each 25 by 25-foot plot, the diameter of each tree
is measured along with the number of saplings to
calculate the number of points. Trees can be thinned
as long as the minimum number of points is met for
each 25 by 25-foot plot. The lower one third of a
tree’s branches can be pruned and hazardous trees
can be cut down.

Weather is getting more like summer every
day. I’ve got my AC in now, so, I won’t mind the
heat. Mr. Flax was nice enough to put it in for
me. He’s a super guy, always helping me out
with many things that I can’t do. He used to help
my husband as well-- many thanks go out to him.
SCHOOL NOTES
On Monday, there was no school, due to
Memorial Day. Thursday, the whole school went
on a field trip all day. This was a short academic
school week.
The art teacher, the music teacher and the
janitor are all retiring at the end of the school
year.
We only have three weeks left of this school
year; in spite of the long, hard winter, it seems
like this year has gone by fast.
MEMORIAL DAY: On Friday May 23, at 9
am, Betty Lockerby and the Legion Auxiliary
and some of the Veterans came to Isle La Motte
School and put on a Memorial Service honoring
the Veterans; some of them spoke, and one
read Poppy’s Field. The school children all had a
verse each, which they read. The K-1 class lead
the Pledge. All the children sang the National
Anthem and This Land is your Land.
PRINCIPAL’S LETTER
By: Edorah Rubin
THANKS: Isle La Motte has the best PTO
ever! After honoring the school staff with
decorations and daily culinary treats during
Teacher Appreciation Week, the PTO culminated
this year’s activities with an all-school trip on a
coach bus to the Montshire Museum in Norwich,
Vermont. This science museum has indoor and
outdoor exhibits and walking trails, and our
students were provided with custom workshops
on science topics chosen by our teachers. Many
parents and grandparents attended, and we all
enjoyed ourselves and learned about natural
history, music, aerodynamics, and more. My
favorite exhibit was a colony of leafcutter ants in
action. Amazing!
SUMMER CAMPS: There is still room in both
weeks of the Kurt Valenta nature camps that will
be held at Isle La Motte School from August 11
to 15 and 18 to 22. There will also be GRACE
camps offered in Alburgh, N. Hero, and Grand
Isle schools, along with a number of summer
camps at Camp Ingalls July 14 to August 8.
YMCA swim lessons are also being offered June
23-August 1 at several island state parks. Please
call or stop by the ILM School if you would like
further information about any of these options.
SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM: Breakfast
and lunch will be provided at the school to all
children free of charge during the Kurt Valenta
camp weeks, August 11 to 22. Children do not
need to be attending camp in order to come and
enjoy the meals. Alburgh School will be offering
free meals to children during the month of July
regardless of town of residence. In addition,
anyone can dial 211 to receive a list of summer
food sites for children nationwide. This service
allows families who are traveling to locate free
meals for their children.
COMING EVENTS: Monday, June 16- 6th
Grade Graduation starts at 5:30 pm; Thursday,
June 19- ILM Field Day; Friday, June 20- Last
Day of School.
SCHOOL BOARD NOTES
The May 12, 2014 Board meeting began
with Superintendent Phillips reporting that
House Bill 883 (Consolidation of Districts) died
in the Senate and H889 (Small School Grants)
passed, with our share around $47,000. The
tax rate changed from $1.01 to $.98 and a new
requirement for all school districts to offer Pre-K.
He also reported that the search for a business
manager has been narrowed down to one; our
Curriculum Coordinator, Mrs. King has take a
position in Milton.
The Board discussed having a meeting with
the Grand Isle State Representatives, Johnson
and Krebs, to discuss legislation regarding
school. The Town Clerk, Betsy Howland,
requested that only seven years of documents
be saved because the Town Hall is running out of
fireproof space. Superintendent Phillips will look
into this. The Board requested to have the GISU
send copies of the audit findings letters from the
past five years, to have a simple overview of the
bank statements clearly stating the reconciliation
dollar amount, and the process for payment of
invoices and the bills chain of command.
Mrs. Callahan stated that the Transportation
Committee would like to do a survey of parents
of Isle La Motte students to ask about their
transportation needs. A survey will go out shortly
to all parents. At the request of the Board,
Superintendent Phillips will draft an agreement
to allow Isle La Motte parents pay to use the
Alburgh bus to NCCS.
The Board approved Teacher’s Contracts from
GISU and approved payables of $59,220.09.
The next meeting will be on Thursday, June

PTO NEWS
A ginormous thank you to the community for
your continuous support of our fundraisers and
our bottle collection sites. Last Thursday saw the
culmination of community effort with a schoolwide trip to the Montshire Museum of Science in
Norwich, Vermotn via coach bus! Many thanks to
the Isle La Motte Masonic Lodge and ILMCO for
their generous support in helping to fund the trip.
It is through joint effort that we are able to
provide enriching, exciting, and educational
activities for our town’s children that they might
not otherwise have an opportunity to experience.
We will be hosting a refundable bottle collection
on Saturday, June 7 at the Solid Waste Day at
the School, from 8 am to 1 pm, as a fundraiser to
support next year’s programming.
We would be more than happy to pick the
bottles up for you. Just email us at spstamps@
yahoo.com or call 928-3166.
There are also bottle drop-offs at both the Town
Clerk’s Office and the School that are available
year-round.
ORDINANCE CONCERNING SFHA AND
NFIP
Participation in National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) allows all owners of eligible
property: a building and or its contents, to
purchase affordable flood insurance through
the federally subsidized program. NFIP is a
Federal program created to mitigate future flood
losses. Participation in the program now allows
the town to apply for grants and be the recipient
of additional funding in the event of another
disaster. These significant benefits would not be
available without participation in the program.
Bylaws were adopted by the Select Board
in October of 2013 as an ordinance required
for the town’s participation in the program. The
bylaws only address properties in the Special
Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). The SFHA is a high
risk area defined as any land that would be
inundated by a flood having a 1 percent chance
of occurring in a given year also referred to as
the base flood level. That level for Isle La Motte
is 102 feet.
A Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) is
available for review at the Town Hall. A very
small percentage of property on the island falls
in the SFHA. The bylaws recommended by the
state of Vermont apply to only those properties
falling in the SFHA. The Select Board approved
minimal fees on April 4, 2012 for construction in
the SFHA. The fees are in place solely to offset
any additional taxpayer costs. The bylaws are
available to read online via the Isle La Motte
town web page and www.islelamotte.org. Copies
are also available at the town hall. Numerous
other NFIP brochures are available for review at
the town hall.
Lastly, participation required the Select
Board to nominate individuals for a Planning
Commission and an Administrator. The volunteer
commission members are Betty Lockerby, Cathy
Tudhope and Sylvia Jensen. The volunteer
Administrator is Paul Hinman and the volunteer
Assistant Administrator is John Littlefield. The
intent of all involved is to fully cooperate with
all property owners in a non-adversarial and
friendly manner while complying with the NFIP
standards.
Additionally, when planning work along the
shoreline, please remember the town has a 35foot right-of-way measured from the center of
the roadway. Please contact the Town Office at
928-3434 with any questions.
JOKE OF THE WEEK!
“Well, my son, what did you learn in Sunday
school today?”
“We learned all about a cross-eyed bear.”
“About what?”
“Yes, sir, named Gladly. We learned a song
about him: Gladly, The Cross I’d Bear.”
HAVE A GOOD WEEK!

NORTH HERO REAPPRAISAL UPDATE
FROM YOUR LISTERS
North Hero is in the process of finalizing
the 2014 Reappraisal. The Vermont Appraisal
Company has made follow up visits this spring
that covered new construction and open building
permits. During the winter months, the Appraisers
and the Listers reviewed data, completed land
and waterfront schedules and researched recent
market sales and trends to establish Fair Market
Value. These results will be available to property
owners by the end of June 2014.
As required by Vermont State Law, all property
owners will receive an individual “Change of
Appraisal Notice” sent by US Postal Service
Certificate of Mailing that will include both their
old and new property values. Copies of the 2014
Town-wide Reappraisal Booklet, that list all
properties in town, will be available on the town
website: www.northherovt.com, in PDF format,
and in booklet form at both the Town Office and
the North Hero Library.
When the project is finished and immediately
after the notices go out, appraisers from
Vermont Appraisal Company and the Listers will
be holding informal informational meetings prior
to the formal Grievance schedule so that we
may explain the assessment process. Property
owners may come in, ask questions and go over
their property record(s) at this time. We strongly
recommend you become familiar with the North
Hero real estate market and your property
value(s) in particular. We recommend that every
property owner review their property records
for accuracy. The instructions for Grievance
Hearings will be included in both the Change of
Appraisal Notice and the Reappraisal Booklet.
Over the course of the past two years, the
Vermont Appraisal Company and the Listers have
visited over 1,250 homes, commercial properties
and parcels of vacant land in North Hero. The
successful collection of data contributes to the
fairness and accuracy of this appraisal and is
due both to the hard work of the VAC and the
Listers, and to the remarkable cooperation of
the North Hero property owners. For this, we are
deeply indebted to you.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Much work has been done at Camp Ingalls to
prepare it for the summer season, but there is still
plenty left to do. Future plans include painting,
repairing windows, stabilizing the small cabins,
building stair railings and generally preparing the
facilities for the North Hero Recreation summer
camps, as well as, several Island Arts summer
camps. Do you feel like volunteering to help with
the clean up and needed repairs? Email John
Skutel at jbskutel@comcast.net.
WHAT’S UP IN NORTH HERO?
Do you have something you would like to
share with your North Hero neighbors? I am
always looking for your input on what appears
in this column; please send your stories, events
and ideas to nheronews@yahoo.com.
PRINCIPAL’S NEWSLETTER
Does anyone remember the commercial for
Calgon? I believe Calgon was a bath product,
but it represented more than just bubble bath.
We here at North Hero School are selling
Calgon. On Wednesday, June 11, at 6:30 pm,
at the North Hero Community Hall, we will take
you on an adventure through the magical Land
of Oz, with an added North Hero twist.
We needed Calgon last week on Saturday.
The Wimble family, The Aubins, and I planted
22 apple trees on the property, adjacent to our
garden, and although the work was rewarding,
we all needed a warmly drawn bath and some
quiet repose. Orders for trees are still coming in,
and more holes will need to be dug. The orchard
doesn’t have an end date, so, if you still would
like to plant a tree, please let me know. It’s funny
how much faster the holes got dug once the
auger showed up.
The 4th and 5th grades have begun an
exploration into the complicated and interesting
world of algebra. They are excited, enthusiastic
about learning the material, and will at some
point need their own Calgon moment. Algebra
can be a challenge.
The 4th graders learned how to make
soap through their explorations this week in
Vermont History. They are currently exploring
Revolutionary Vermont, and the challenges that
came along with living in a land full of turmoil and
hardship. Next week, they will explore the details
involved in the taking of Fort Ticonderoga by
Benedict Arnold and the Green Mountain Boys.
July 7 will be North Hero Night at Centennial
Field with the Vermont Lake Monsters. Please
mark this date on your calendars, and prepare to
dance and get sweaty with our friend Champ. A
post-game bath is recommended.
The Grand Isle Sheriff’s Department will
host our annual bike safety rodeo on Monday,
June 9. From 10 to 11 am, students will be able
to navigate a course and learn about the rules
of the road. Parents can drop bikes off in the
morning at school.
The 16th of June is our field day. We will
participate in feats of strength, skill and mental
agility. At 11 am, we will have a barbecue that
you are invited to attend. Please let us know if
you would like to join us for a hot dog or a burger.
June 16 is also our Celebration of Learning.
The 6th graders will prepare to fly away from the
nest and will present their Capstone projects.
Be awesome. Celebrate life. Use Dial.

The Rumble Stripes Are Coming
By: Susan Davis
Like it or not, Vtrans will start applying the rumble stripes, not strips, down the center line of
28 out of the 38 miles of the newly-paved Route 2 from Colchester through Alburgh. “It’s a done
deal,” said Project Manager Ken Robie at a meeting held last week in North Hero where a handful of
residents addressed their concerns about the project.
Using statistics to back up the validity of using the stripes, Robie said
that there were 3,943 crashes statewide from 2009 to 2013; there were 72
fatalities. Over the last ten years, Grand Isle County had 104 crashes and
two fatalities. Nationally, the stripes have reduced head-on crashes by 44
percent.
“The center line stripes will reduce head-on collisions, said Robie. “They
will redirect lane drifting, as well as, reduce speed and improve visibility,”
he added.
The project is set to start Wednesday, June 18.
Blood Drive
Scheduled for July 2
There will be an American Red Cross blood drive on Wednesday.
July 2, from 12:30 to 6 pm, at the Folsom Educational Center. There is
a continuous need for blood, and donations tend to decline during the
summer months. Anyone who is able to donate is encouraged to come.
There will be refreshments available in the canteen for donors, including
ice cream generously donated by Island Homemade Ice Cream. For more
information about donation, or to make an appointment, call 1-800-RED
CROSS or visit www.redcrossblood.org.

it’s apparent that some community members don’t
believe they are receiving an “excellent return”
on their taxpaying investment. That concerns me
and suggests that we need to do two things: 1- we
need to do a better job of showing taxpayers what
they’re getting for their investment; and 2- we need
to intensify our efforts to make sure every dollar we
spend is yielding the desired return. I don’t think
we’re failing in either area, but there seems to be a
big “Needs Improvement” written in red ink on our
report card.
The budget that passed in April is a good one,
reflecting very conservative expenditures. I sincerely
hope it is not overturned on June 10, because more
cuts will seriously hinder our ability to provide the

For the 2014 year to date, GMCW is running
at a 45% capacity factor, making it one of the
highest producing wind projects in the region.
All parking is at the Husky facility located at 288

of the Milton Historical Society. The Shelburne
Museum means many things to many people:
French Impressionism, a landlocked sidewheeler, exhibits of traveling contemporary art
and sculpture, or maybe the ultimate Antiques
Road Show. Few would see the museum as
a Civil War site, but join Charlotte Historical
Society President Dan Cole, who is Shelburne
Museum’s Supervisor of Protection Services,
for a unique look at the Shelburne Museum and
its Civil War connections. The presentation will
start at 7 pm at the Milton Historical Society at 13
School Street in Milton. For further information,

Educators Sought
for Watershed Course
Beginning in July, local educators will learn how to incorporate lake and river issues into their
curriculum through the Watershed for Every Classroom graduate course. This ten-month course,
offered through the Champlain Basin Education Initiative (CBEI), will utilize national education
standards and a combination of field experiences and resource specialists to convey content. Cross
disciplinary teaching teams are encouraged to participate.
Participants will meet with geologists, historians, naturalists, farmers, and business leaders in
Vermont, New York and Quebec. Participants will paddle the LaPlatte River, conduct water quality
tests along the AuSable River, understand the settlement patterns of the Champlain Valley, learn
about invasive species and explore farms, fields, wetlands and forests. Common Core needs will be
addressed.
Since 1992, CBEI partners have helped 700 educators assist their students in becoming the next
generation of Lake Champlain stewards. A new web resource, WatershED Matters, features the
teaching strategies used by recent course participants and may be found on the Lake Champlain
Basin Program’s website on behalf of the CBEI partners: http://www.lcbp.org/watershedmatters/.
CBEI partners currently include: the Lake Champlain Basin Program, Shelburne Farms, Vermont
ANR – Project WET, Lake Champlain Sea Grant-UVM Extension, the Lake Champlain Committee, ECHO
at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, and curriculum coach Amy Demarest from Our Curriculum
Matters. Several New York organizations also assist. For more information, contact Colleen Hickey,
Lake Champlain Basin Program by calling 372-3213.

GRAND ISLE SCHOOL BOARD
Recorded and posted this day of 9th May, 2014 at
the Town Clerk’s Office in Grand Isle.
Attest: Cheryl Vantine, Town Clerk
were nominated for the new program and the
25 winning nominees were announced at the
Vermont Organization of Nurse Leaders’ Summit
on April 3 and 4, 2014 in Stowe, Vermont. The
program, which is supported by the Vermont
Action Coalition, aims to prepare fellows to seek
board and committee positions by outfitting
them with leadership skills, career development
strategies, intimate knowledge of health policy,
and other critical information.
“We are very proud of our faculty and their
nomination to such an esteemed program,”
said Interim President of Vermont Tech, Dan
Smith. “This leadership initiative is a wonderful
opportunity for our nursing faculty to continue
developing their strengths, which we know
will be reflected in their work as educators at
Vermont Tech and the impact of our students on
Vermont’s health care system. ”
Nurse fellows will participate in four
sessions that focus on self-knowledge and selfmanagement as essential leadership skills; team
analysis and facilitation; strategies for career
development; governance as a key leadership
opportunity; and understanding and using
health policy, health care reform, and health
finance as leadership tools.
The Vermont Action Coalition is part of
the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action, a
nationwide movement to improve the health
care system through its nurses. A Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation Grant, which helps states
prepare the nursing profession to address
the healthcare system’s foremost challenges:
access, quality and cost, funds the Vermont
initiative. The program is aimed specifically at
making more state nurses available and capable
of serving on committees and boards, from the
local to the state level.

Tech’s nursing programs and how to enroll, visit
