societies toured the AHS museum on Main Street, enjoyed a luncheon, and listened
to presentations. AHS Co-President Peg Theoret gave a brief talk about the dramatic
sinking of The Empress of Ireland, 100 years ago to the day. The Empress was a large ship
that went to the bottom of the Saint Lawrence River: less than 15 minutes after being

images of the Islands Line as he described the impact of the rise and fall of the Rutland
Railroad in the area.
After Rob’s program, representatives of each society explained their activities, goals,
and plans for the year.
Many ideas were shared.

Painting by Susan Larkin
On Sunday, June 15, from 5 to 7 pm there will be
an Art Opening for works by Isle La Motte artist, Susan
Larkin. Susan is a landscape painter who works in
oils and pastels. She states, “I love painting the daily
views that I encounter as I walk, drive and paddle
around my home on Isle La Motte. The landscape
here is illuminated by the reflection of the light on the
lake, giving the ordinary an extraordinary brilliance
of color. Susan has spent many days outside painting
plein air. Work of her “painting partner”, Maurie
Harrington, will also be on display at the opening.
Maurie, wife of Jack Harrington mentioned above,
is the Art Director at Fisk Farm and has scheduled
art exhibitions by artists throughout Vermont for
many years. Included with the work of these gifted
artists will be the extraordinary variety of art and
craft by Alburgh’s Ginger Johnson. A portion of all
sales at Fisk Farm are contributed to the Isle La Motte
Preservation Trust. Fisk Farm is located at 3849 West
Shore Road, Isle La Motte, VT 05463. For further
information call 802-928-3364.

MIDDLEBURY INTERACTIVE LANGUAGE
PROGRAM: Kudos to the ten students who
participated in the Middlebury Interactive
Language Program October through May. We
were very fortunate to have had the opportunity
to take part in this excellent program from
Middlebury College during its inception year.
The 5th to 8th grade students who took part
demonstrated enthusiasm and perseverance
while learning introductory Spanish, French and
Chinese. This was a voluntary and self-guided
online program requiring initiative, independent
work, and responsibility for completing all
assignments thoroughly and thoughtfully. The
program was administered during the hour
before school four days a week and or at home
if the student wished. We would like to recognize
Taylor Dickie, Colby Geney, Jack Talbot,
Cassandra Libby, Morgan Marckres, Emily
Thomason, Johanna Iula, Joshua Thomason,
Jade Boudreau and Sierra Butler for their hard
work.
ANNUAL
STUDENT
ART
EXHIBIT
SUCCESS: Grand Isle’s Student Art Exhibition
was a tremendous success thanks to all the
participants, volunteers, students, family
members, community members and PTA
members! We had a wonderful show! The
students showcased some amazing work
ranging from M C Escher inspired installations
to Egyptian Hieroglyphs to wonderfully detailed
drawings. The show is still on at Grand Isle
School and is hopefully moving up to the Town
Hall in the coming weeks.
One of the many reasons for doing a
fundraising art show was to help raise funds
for art room supplies and hopefully bringing in
some more technology into the school and art
room. We sold student work at various prices
and with each piece sold, 90 percent is going to
the student artist and 10 percent will go to the art
room for more supplies. In total, we have raised
$552.90. Some of the funds raised from the sale
of the artwork were generously donated in full to
the art room. In total, the art room has managed
to raise $91.90, and the rest will be distributed to
the student artists who sold their work. I would
like to thank everyone who made the art show
possible and a big thank you to the Grand Isle
Community. This show was a lot of fun and a
very big success, and we couldn’t have done it
without you!
FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
Put the Fourth of July on your calendar, and

5, thirteen students from Grand Isle School performed at Burlington’s internationally-recognized
Discover Jazz Festival. This was the tenth year that the Grand Isle Jazz Band has performed for this
festival. The students played six pieces that included improvised and written solos. Performing a solo
was a ‘challenge by choice’ for these students and they definitely rose to the challenge! All students
who performed did an amazing job representing their school, their families and most importantly,
themselves. They should all be proud!

pm on Saturday and 2 pm on Sunday.
The trip back to a tragic time in America’s
history is presented by the Clinton County
Historical Association and hosted by the 11th
NY Battery Light Artillery and Alexandria Battery
CAS. Whether you enjoy history, the Civil War or
just have the urge to do something different on a
summer weekend, you are welcome you to join.
This event is free and open to the public.

County, the UFIRST Federal Credit Union,

Asset Management.

NOTES
I want to wish Amanda Palmer good luck in
pursuing a new career. I am sure she will be
successful in whatever she undertakes. Amanda
was an excellent steward of The Alice. I attended
many of the programs that were held there during
her tenure and always went away feeling that I
had had either a great learning experience or a
fun evening of entertainment.
Just a note to let you know that many are
working diligently to prepare the Rouses Point
History and Welcome Center for opening soon
which will be located at the newly refurbished
Delaware and Hudson Railroad Station. More
details will be forthcoming.

World No
Tobacco Day
In recognition of World No Tobacco Day 2014,
which took place on Saturday, May 31, the World
Health Organization (WHO) and partners are calling
on countries to raise taxes on tobacco. Reducing
tobacco consumption saves lives, and in Vermont 800
people die each year from tobacco-related diseases.
According to the WHO, higher taxes are especially
effective in reducing tobacco use, particularly in
preventing young people from starting to smoke.
Not only is tobacco use the single most
preventable cause of death in the United States,
but quitting a half-a-pack per day habit could save a
Vermont smoker $1,700 per year. The ultimate goal
of World No Tobacco Day is to protect present and
future generations not only from the devastating
health consequences of tobacco use, but also against
the social, environmental and economic scourges of
tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke.
The Vermont Department of Health urges every
day be No Tobacco Day. The Department supports
multiple methods of tobacco cessation, including
the Vermont Quit Partners, a team of people in
communities across Vermont devoted to providing
support and motivation to help Vermont tobacco
users through the quitting process.
Vermonters can find a Quit Partner near them and
learn about other ways to quit by going to 802Quits.

SELECT BOARD NOTES
The Selectboard held a special meeting on
May 29 to discuss an appraisal for the Lavin
property. An anonymous resident has offered
to make a $500 donation towards the cost of
the appraisal as long as other residents donate
enough money to cover the rest of the cost of the
appraisal so that no Town money is spent. Stop
in Town Hall to make your donation!
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.

estimates. This company has other appraisals
pending and it would be advantageous to get on
the schedule as soon as possible to meet the
September 1st deadline. Also, it is noted that the
appraisal should be done once the waste water
capacity survey is complete.
A motion was adopted to pay up to $2,000
for an appraisal using Town funds, but offset by
any possible donations once the appraisal is
complete.

To the Editor:
Greetings! I just
finished
reading
a letter written to
the editor of The
Islander by school
board member Teri
Geney. In that letter,
Teri talked about her
recent
attendance
at a training session
sponsored
by
the Vermont School Boards Association and the
responsibility School Board members have to the
communities they serve.
Teri states, “One statement has really stuck with
me: that School Boards “are entrusted with ensuring
that the young people of the community receive a
high quality education, and that taxpayers receive an
excellent return on their investment.” She continues
with some great questions, “Are our young people
getting a high quality education? Are we, as taxpayers,
getting an excellent return on our investment?”
Related to the recent petition calling for a
rescission of our budget Teri suggests, “We need to
do two things: we need to do a better job of showing
taxpayers what they’re getting for their investment,
and we need to intensify our efforts to make sure
every dollar we spend is yielding the desired return.”
The ‘we’ in these statements also includes me, and I
wholeheartedly agree!
The 2013 Adequate Yearly Progress Determination
Summary identifies Grand Isle School at year two
of school improvement. The implications of this
determination include: continue SU-level and schoollevel School Improvement Teams; provide written
notice to parents that school has not met AYP; offer
Supplemental Educational Services if Title I School;
review, revise and implement School Improvement
Plan.
This week, the Grand Isle Supervisory Union
(GISU) Superintendent will meet with myself,
other GISU principals and our School Effectiveness
Coordinator from the Agency of Education. The
purpose is to review and revise our GISU and local
improvement plan. Revisions to our plan will be made
available once finalized. All other criteria set forth by
the Agency of Education as noted have been met.
More locally, Grand Isle staff has had a focus on
using data as an integral part of designing instruction.
This work is guided by a data cycle outlined by
specific steps that include: formative pre-assessment;
prioritizing student needs; selecting common
instructional strategies; examining work samples;
analyze and discuss strategies and make necessary
adjustments and administer post assessment and
evaluate results.
Preliminary results from the last data cycle of
the elementary grades show significant gains in
Language Arts and Math depending on the focus. A
few examples are: overall achievement levels have
increased by 36 percent in reading comprehension of
fiction text in 1st grade and an overall increase by 60
percent in addition math facts in 2nd grade. We also
saw a 38 percent overall increase of Kindergarten’s
locomotor skills in Physical Education. Middle
School data teams are in the process of evaluating
their data results.
Data-based decision making allows classroom
teachers to design and deliver instruction toward
the needs of all learners. A Multi-Tiered Systems
of Support process allows our teachers to examine
how well they already use data to make instructional
decisions for student improvement and how well
current services for students are coordinated and
integrated, NEA Education Policy and Practice
(2010). A GIS team will be attending a conference
from June 23 to 26 on effective implementation of
MTSS. We are excited to learn more about designing
intentional and purposeful strategies to implement
change with a positive and productive problemsolving process.
Thank you,
Eric Arnzen

AM RADIO
There is something local in the air! Bill and
Terry are happy to be providing the operation
of a low power hobby AM radio station. It is
called WILM and is in 1630 on your am radio

radio in the evening at 9 pm. Their coverage
area is strongest around the middle of Isle La
Motte, North Hero, Alburgh, Swanton, Clinton
County, New York and Quebec. A good receiver,
with possibly an outdoor antenna, will improve
chances of hearing them. A car radio is good.
They have a mixed format including 40s, 50s,
60s, 70s, and 80s, country and old-time radio.
Please feel free to contact the station with any

interviewed me. They asked questions about my
personal life: where I was born and when and
where I went to school and was married. They
also asked about my likes and the things that
had changed during my life, etc. They asked
some very good questions.
We have three people retiring from our school
including the Art teacher, the Music teacher and

An Abenaki Wedding
June is traditionally the month for weddings.
To celebrate this tradition the Missisquoi National
Wildlife refuge will host an informational meeting
on Indigenous courtship and marriage. Professor
Fred Wiseman will first discuss how young men
and women find each other and fall in love. From
then on it becomes a discussion between the lovers
families and formal petitions for betrothal using
wampum belts or strings and other kinds of gifts, and
complex decisions by each families leaders regarding
the benefits of the young man or young woman for
their respective families. Often a medicine person is
consulted to ensure that the two spirits can merge
seamlessly. The wedding itself is both a village
and inter-village affair just like today with complex
social, religious, and sometimes political protocols
for everything from cannon fire announcing the
arrival of the bride, through the wedding feast and
the attendees accompanying the couple to their
wedding bed.
They will illustrate the process through role
play, examination of artifacts and stories regarding
traditional weddings. Just in case the marriage does
not succeed, Professor Wiseman will also mention
how the union can be dissolved.
This event will be held at the Missisquoi National
Wildlife Refuge on Friday, June 20 from 6 to 8 pm.

If you’ve been looking for a good excuse to give fishing a try, or something to do outdoors with
family that they’ll really enjoy, here it is! Saturday, June 14, is Vermont’s Free Fishing Day: the one day
in the summer when anyone may go fishing in the Green Mountain State without a fishing license.
Fishing is a quiet, relaxing way to enjoy Vermont’s scenic outdoors with many accompanying
benefits. You can release any fish you catch, or take home some very tasty fresh, and local, fish for
dinner.
Whether you get out there alone, or take friends or family, a good day of fishing makes memories
that will last a lifetime.
Vermont has 284 lakes and over 7,000 miles of clear streams offering the greatest variety of high
quality freshwater fishing in the Northeast, according to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.
Finding a place to fish in Vermont is easy, but for those just getting started, the department also hosts
a special event just for kids in Grand Isle.
The Grand Isle Fishing Festival will be held from 9 am to 3 pm on Free Fishing Day at the Ed Weed
Fish Culture Station on Vermont Route 314 in Grand Isle. Designed for young anglers, this free event
offers basic fishing instruction and the chance for kids to catch big trout in a pond next to the hatchery.
And don’t worry about bringing equipment, everything kids need to go fishing will be supplied.
Here are some other “Let’s Go Fishing” instructional events being held on Free Fishing Day
with contacts for more information: Saturday, June 14 Little Anglers Derby at Windemere Way in
Colchester; for more information, call 802-879-3466

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

need to be a reminder to every parent, myself
included, that we need to closely monitor our
kiddos internet use. The internet is like the Wild
West. It is an untamed territory, and for kiddos
who are already navigating a challenging time
the internet needs to be discussed as we would
a new friend. Please, ask many questions.
We are taking applications for preschool next
year. Our program is nearly full. The program

very reasonable weekly fee for the after care. If
interested please contact me really soon.

Hero Town Hall. At 6:30 pm, we will be off to
see the Wizard. Costuming instructions have

ceremony. This will take place from 10 to 11 am
here at school. This is an annual time to honor
hard work and positive choices. Please come on

251 Club Of Vermont Celebrates
60th With New Travel Journal
The 251 Club of Vermont, celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2014,
exists to encourage members to visit all of the state’s 251 towns and
cities. Now the task has been made more convenient and enjoyable
with the publication of a new travel journal designed specifically for the
Vermont explorer.
“This project is as purely Vermont
as a quart of maple syrup,” says
Sandy Levesque, club director and
editor of the journal. “Vintage
Vermont postcards from another
century provide the design element
and contemporary lists of travel
resources, such as maps, books,
and websites, are included. Every
element, from editing to design to
physical production, was handled in
Vermont.”
All of Vermont’s 255 civic/
geographic entities or “places” –
237 towns, 9 cities, 5 unorganized
towns, 3 gores, and 1 grant – are
listed alphabetically, along with their
charter, grant or patent date, on 160
lightly-lined writing pages. Once completed, the book will be a unique
and highly personalized account of the owner’s Vermont experience.
The 6” x 9” journal is a perfect traveling companion, deliberately sized
to fit in glove compartments, purses, backpacks, briefcases, and totes.
It has a durable cover and spiral binding to facilitate writing on-the-go.
Printed on cream-colored, acid-free, archival paper the Vermont Travel
Journal is designed to preserve memories and become a treasured
keepsake.
With over 4,000 members, the 251 Club of Vermont is one of the
largest membership organizations in the state. For information on the
club, or to order a copy of the Vermont Travel Journal, visit vt251.com or
call 802-234-5039.

Grand Isle County Mentoring
End-of-the-Year Dinner
By: Karen Browning, Coordinator
Last Monday evening about 80 mentors, mentees and their families gathered in the Grand Isle School
cafeteria for an end of the year celebration dinner. This year we had 45 matches throughout the Grand Isle
Schools. Grand Isle County Mentoring is a school-based mentoring program, which matches community
children with adults who have similar interests. They meet once a week for one hour in the school at a mutually
convenient time and develop a relationship. During their time together they participate in many activities on
the school grounds, including games, arts and crafts, cooking and conversation. We have wonderful mentors
and hope that you will consider joining them. Children from all five island schools are involved in the program
and range from grades K to 8. Every child who wants a mentor should have one! Mentoring has proven results
for both the children and adults who care enough to make the commitment of just one hour a week. “Make
a difference in a youth’s life; be a mentor.”
If you would like more information, please contact me, Karen Browning, Coordinator at 372-5239 or email

Festival of the Islands Is Changing
As most of you know, the Festival of the Islands was created to bring attention and visitors to all the
towns of Grand Isle. More visitors means more opportunities for local businesses to increase sales,
non-profits to raise needed funds, and visitors to discover the beauties of the Champlain Islands
and plan return trips. In the past, donations of $20 have been requested from local businesses to
be represented on the map which was produced that listed all the sales, ‘deals’ and special events
that were being held that weekend. Non-profits were listed at no cost to them. Steamers were sold
to signal participation in Festival and draw attention to what was offered. Monies remaining were
donated to CIDER.
This year, the Festival of the Islands will be held, as it is each year, on the last weekend in July. The
change is that we will no longer be collecting donations from businesses. We have experience with
the prior years’ maps and production of them does not require a great deal of time. We will produce
the map and distribute it for free. Any business or non-profit wishing to have their sales or special
events publicized may do so by contacting us and letting us know what they will be offering during
the Festival. In addition, copies of the maps will be available through email to anyone who wishes
to duplicate, share and distribute it to visitors and friends, thus supporting our non-profits and local
businesses. With social media developing as it has, this is both possible and easy.
The other change is based on experience gained over the last few years. Yard sales, flea markets
and rummages sales remain as huge attractions for people who want bargains, rare finds or merely
to explore on a beautiful drive through the Islands. So, we would like encourage and be able to
mention those types of sales in all of the off Island advertising that will be done. Last year, Alburgh
held a town-wide sale during the Festival. It was a huge success. Droves of people, attracted by the
publicity of the Festival, traveled from one place to another, chatting, shopping and enjoying the
atmosphere created by people meeting people. Of course, the local businesses benefitted because
our visitors were curious, needed to buy gas and replenish their strength through food and beverage.
SO… If you want your business or non-profit to be represented on the Festival map which will be
widely publicized, we are asking that you do three things: Create a special event, let us know what
you are doing so that it can be listed on the map of the Festival and finally, request a map and share
it with your customers through duplication or posting. If private individuals wish to do a yard sale
during that time to take advantage of all the visitors, please let us know so we have an idea of the
total number of sales and can add that to the publicity. Streamers may be purchased, as in other
years, to highlight your participation and draw attention to your sale.
Please contact Irene at 999-5862 or through email at imtherightplace@gmail.com with questions
or to add your information to Festival advertising.

Yelana and her family own Truelight Farm in North
Hero where they host a menagerie of sheep, alpacas,
peacocks, angora goats, chicken, geese, ducks, five
dogs and one cat.
One wonders where she can find time to do her
artwork!
Yelena’s art connection can be traced back to her
childhood in Moscow Russia where she studied at
the hand of her uncle, a noted pen and ink artist. In
her teens she attended University where she studied
architecture. Fleeing Soviet Russia, she moved to New
York City where she honed her skills as a seamstress
working on the designs of many known designers and
developing her own children’s line, Svetlana. Yearning
to go back to her artistic routes led her to the design
and sale of her own line of fabric dolls at juried craft
shows in NYC and the greater New York area. In turn,
this led to her creation of hand crafted and painted
porcelain dolls and porcelain reproductions of dolls
from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lush
color and texture provided by the nature found in
Vermont got her creating paintings in oils and acrylics.
Finally, a long artistic journey settled into a passion
for the watercolor efforts she now creates and has on
display for you here today. Her work can now be seen
in private and corporate collections throughout New
England. -WANTED-
