The public phase of the campaign began with a media event at Rice Memorial High School on October 10, 2013. The campaign has raised $7.4 million of its $10 million goal. Rev. Msgr. Bernard W. Bourgeois, Principal, says the success of the campaign will allow Rice to continue to meet the changing needs of students and the community, and to advance the mission of Rice Memorial High School. “This is a turning point in Rice’s history. In the late 1950’s, the faithful of Chittenden County sacrificed and generously donated the money to build a brand new Catholic high school for their children and grandchildren. Today, more than 50 years later, Rice needs to update its facilities, add to its financial reserves, and secure its future through increased advancement efforts. With the same spirit that drove the builders of Rice so many years ago, we are asking today’s generation of parents, alumni, and friends to invest in Rice’s future, so that the mission of a Catholic high school for northern Vermont will live on for generations to come.” The Islander, October 15, 2013 Page 3 Buyers and Sellers NEW LISTINGS: 2, 4+ acre lots for sale with build to suit packages available. Mark Cobb 802.363.5922 mark@brianfrenchre.com Rice alumnae Joan Gariepy O’Reilly ’66 and her husband David are the campaign’s lead donors; Joan says giving is their way of saying thank you: “David and I are at a stage in our lives when we can give back to the things that are closest to our hearts. Rice is an obvious one. All five of my siblings went to Rice. Giving to the campaign is our way of saying thank you.” Campaign Chair and alumnus David Boardman ‘52 and his wife Joan say Rice not only has a tremendous effect on its graduates, but on the communities it serves. Photo courtesy of Rice Memorial High School, those pictured are as follows (left to right): Dylan Pratico, Joan O’Reilly (lead donor), Jordon Lawrence “Rice is much more than a school. It’s a place where young people discover their God-given potential, and get a solid foundation for the rest of their lives. The faculty and staff are dedicated to high academics and developing the whole person, mind, body and soul. Over 90% of the graduates go on to advanced learning, with many returning to the area as significant contributors. Most importantly, they live out the basic principles learned at Rice, including a strong Christian faith, a desire to share, give back, and to be an active part of our community. More than 5,000 Rice alumni live, work, pay taxes and volunteer at many of the non-profits in Chittenden County. They do ‘Walk the Talk.’” For more information about the Rice Capital Campaign, contact Susan O’Brien, sobrien@rmhsvt.org, or 802-862-6521, ext. 205.

Keeler Bay Health Center Encourages Patients to Schedule Their Flu Shot The Community Health Centers of Burlington Keeler Bay Health Center is stocked with flu vaccine in an effort to keep patients healthy this winter. Influenza, “the flu”, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. The flu can cause mild to severe illness and in more extreme cases, death. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year. Flu shots are recommended for children younger than 5, adults 65 years or older, and pregnant women. People with medical conditions such as asthma, heart disease, and chronic lung disease are also urged to get a flu shot, according to the CDC website. Keeler Bay Health Center patients interested in receiving a flu shot should call 372-4687 to schedule an appointment and for information on their new providers accepting patients.

NOTES Sympathy goes out to family and friends of Jean Lovell Marleau, 91, of Pine Harbour Assisted Living Facility in Plattsburgh, who passed away on October 4. Jean is a former resident of Rouses Point and Chazy Landing. Sympathy goes out to the family of Alfreda R. Willette, 86, formerly of Champlain and Rouses Point, who passed away on September 27, at Westminster Nursing Home in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Matt Borrie, son of Bob and Murielle Borrie formerly of Rouses Point, now of Florida, is undergoing extensive chemotherapy in preparation for a bone marrow transplant. I am sure he would appreciate encouragement and prayers from his friends in the North Country. His address is 1684 Parkland Pl, Port Orange, Fl. 32129. I don’t know what all the people (statues) dressed with hats, stylish coats and other finery are doing on display throughout Alburgh’s main street, but they are cool. Love the idea! I have had an opportunity to drive through the Adirondacks and mountains in Vermont and the scenery has just been spectacular along with the wonderful fall weather we are experiencing. Don’t forget to get your flu shot. Several pharmacies and local medical facilities are giving the shot that hopefully will prevent us from getting flu.

During October and November, construction crews will widen the Trail near ‘The Cut’ and begin building new Bike Ferry docking and landing systems. Construction vehicles will be coming in from both the Colchester side at Mills Point Road and the South Hero side at Martin Road. The project will be completed in the spring of 2014. Because of the construction, the Causeway on the South Hero side will be closed October 15 through 18 and for most weekdays for the rest of October and into November. Flaggers will be directing traffic at times. The trail will be open every weekend. FALL WAY-TO-GO Wonder what it would be like to commute or ride share?

How do we increase the economic well-being of all Vermonters, building wages and creating good jobs? Join the conversation and help plan the first state-wide Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). This month citizens from around the state are meeting in their regions to participate in workshops as part of the CEDS process. The goal is to solicit strategies and tactics to help build Vermont’s economy, improve wages, build businesses, enhance our quality of life and preserve Vermont’s brand, values and natural resources. A CEDS workshop, hosted by Franklin County Industrial Development Corporation, the Lake Champlain Islands Economic Development Corporation and the Northwest Regional Planning Commission, will be held at the Franklin Grand Isle Workforce Investment Board Training Center on Precision Lane off Robin Hood Drive in Swanton on Thursday, October 24 from 8:30 to 11 am. A continental breakfast will be served. RSVP to FCIDC at 524-2194 by October 23, if you plan to attend. The workshops, sponsored by the Vermont Department of Economic Development and the CEDS consultants, are open to the public; please attend and help strategize what will work best for businesses, non-profits and the community. The results of the workshop will be put together with the results from other regions, and will be crafted into a final plan. For background and further information on the process, go to www.thinkvermont.com and click on Strategic Planning. For those who have already participated in planning sessions for the HUD “Healthy People, Strong Communities” grant with Northwest Regional Planning, your experiences will be especially valuable in building this statewide initiative. If you are unable to attend but would like to be heard, send your thoughts and comments to Lisa Gosselin, Commissioner at the Department of Economic Development, accd.ceds@state.vt.us.

G rand Isle N The Islander, October 15, 2013 Page 7 ews Julie Dickie grandislenews@yahoo.com Finally sitting 30,000 high feet above somewhere between Chicago and Oklahoma City where I will make Oklahoma City my home for the next ten days. The trip started with an evacuation of the Burlington airport, and long lines, all over burnt toast. Feel bad for the worker who needs to hone up on his culinary skills, poor guy caused many flight delays and stressed out passengers. Was able to visit the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial last evening. What a beautiful tribute to such a tragic day. BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES Anniversary wishes Jason and Kaitlin Raymond on October 15.

Deer Hunting Opportunities Hunters should feel upbeat about the state’s deer hunting seasons this year, according to Vermont deer biologist Adam Murkowski. “Vermont’s deer herd has benefited from two relatively mild winters in a row,” said Murkowski. “Mild winter weather coupled with a healthy and robust deer population mean herd growth is expected in many regions of the state this year, and hunters can choose between several different deer hunting opportunities starting in October and continuing into December.” “It is important that hunters continue to act as local wildlife managers and stewards through harvesting an adequate number of antlerless deer this year. Maintaining a healthy deer herd is beneficial to Vermont hunters, the deer, and the habitats that support them. Scientific management of the state’s deer herd would not be possible without the active participation of Vermont hunters.” In Vermont a hunter may take up to three deer in a calendar year in any combination of seasons (Archery, Youth Weekend, November Rifle Season, December Muzzleloader). Of these, only two may be legal bucks, and only one buck may be taken in each season. A “legal buck” is a deer with at least one antler having two or more points one inch or longer. All three deer in the annual bag limit may be antlerless deer taken in archery, youth or muzzleloader seasons. The current antler point regulation (APR), that began in 2005, is designed to protect yearling bucks from high levels of harvest. The department believes the current APR has been successful in increasing the number of older bucks in the deer population. Spikeantlered deer are protected except during the youth deer weekend. A point must be one inch or longer from base to tip. The main beam counts as a point, regardless of length. Archery Season is October 5 to 27 and December 7 to 15. Vermont’s archery deer hunting season offers hunters the chance to take up to three deer with three archery licenses. No more than one of the deer taken during archery season may be a legal buck. No antlerless deer may be taken in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) E, where antlerless deer hunting is prohibited in 2013. Youth Deer Weekend will be November 9 and 10. Youth deer hunting weekend, open to residents and nonresidents, is open the Saturday and Sunday before the regular rifle season. Anyone, resident or nonresident, who is fifteen years old or younger on the weekend of the hunt and who has successfully completed a hunter safety course may purchase a hunting license and obtain a free youth deer hunting tag. The young hunter must be accompanied by an unarmed adult over 18 years of age who holds a Vermont hunting license. Landowner permission is required in order to hunt on private land during the youth deer hunt weekend. A young hunter who has obtained a Vermont hunting license and youth deer tag may take one deer of either sex during youth deer hunting weekend. The antler restriction that applies for other Vermont deer seasons does not apply for youth deer hunting weekend. Rifle Season is November 16 to December 1. Vermont’s November rifle season begins on the Saturday twelve days before Thanksgiving and runs for sixteen consecutive days. The rifle season offers the opportunity to enjoy north country deer hunting at its best. One legal buck with at least one antler having two or more points may be taken anywhere in the state during this season. Muzzleloader Season is December 7 to 15. During the muzzleloader season one legal buck may be taken with at least one antler having two or more points with the muzzleloader license tag. A regular hunting license must be purchased to get the muzzleloader license. In addition to a legal buck, a muzzleloader hunter who received an antlerless permit may take an antlerless deer in the Wildlife Management Unit indicated on the permit. These permits are scheduled to be sent to selected hunters on or before October 17. The 2012 Vermont Deer Harvest Report, available from the Fish and Wildlife Department’s website: www.vtfishandwildlife.com, has a wealth of information to help plan a hunt, including the number of deer taken in each town. Click on Hunting and Trapping and Big Game to download a copy of the report. Vermont’s regular hunting licenses, including a November rifle season buck tag, still cost only $22 for residents and $100 for nonresidents. Hunters under eighteen years of age get a break at $8 for residents and $25 for non-residents. Hunters must have a standard hunting license in order to purchase an add-on archery deer hunting license: $20 residents, $38 nonresidents, except that non-residents may purchase an “archery only deer license” costing just $75. Muzzleloader licenses are $20 for residents, $40 for non-residents, and a regular hunting license is required first. Licenses are quickly and easily available on Fish and Wildlife’s website and from license agents statewide. The 2013 Vermont Hunting, Fishing & Trapping Laws and Guide explains all of Vermont’s hunting regulations and includes maps showing public hunting areas. It is available on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife website and where licenses are sold. In Vermont you can enjoy your hunting any day of the week, including Sundays, and all seasons are open equally for residents and non-residents.

Born on June 21, 1917 in Sheldon, Vermont, Charlotte grew up in Bakersfield, the daughter of Harold J. and Julia Ayers (Barlow) Sherman. She was a proud graduate of Brigham Academy in Bakersfield, Class of 1935. After graduation, Charlotte moved to Burlington where she worked as a housekeeper for several prominent Queen City families. It was during this time that she met Leon Joseph Bora, a chauffeur, whom she later married in December 1943. Together they ran a successful marina on a 200-acre farm on Lake Champlain, where they raised their three children, Shirley, Elton and Nancy, in a lakeside New England farmhouse. Known as Bay Haven, and later as Leon Bora Marine, the business was a vibrant marina, store and snack bar at the end of Sandbar Bridge in South Hero. Charlotte, with her signature apron, was a fixture in the snack bar, where Island regulars came for their morning coffee, a Burlington Free Press and her tasty cheeseburgers and fries for lunch. At the bustling marina, the Boras sold Johnson motors, and Lyman and Boston Whaler boats. The Boras ran the business until 1968, when they sold it and moved across the cove known by her grandchildren as “Gram’s Lake” to Mott Lane. During this time, Charlotte was allegedly retired. Never satisfied to sit idle, she got hired as the orchard boss at Allenholm Farm. But her resume was not yet complete. Always a lover of Vermont crafts, Charlotte then took a job at a local gift shop, and volunteered at Granny’s Attic. Throughout her life, she was an accomplished cook who enjoyed preparing and hosting festive holiday celebrations, especially Christmas. Dinner was always abundant and delicious at Gram’s table. After these meals, she would retire to her chair, spending many hours sewing, knitting, crocheting and embroidering gifts for her family. She derived much joy from tending her flower and vegetable gardens, and feeding and watching the Vermont birds. After Charlotte’s husband died in June 1986, her fierce independent streak led her to get her driver’s license at age 70. Content to motor mostly around South Hero, Charlotte drove to senior luncheons, Mass at Saint Rose of Lima and to get her beloved cat to the vet. A lifelong and devoted Catholic, Charlotte was a member of the Saint Rose of Lima Parish and sang in the choir. She served as the president of the South Hero PTA. She was a member of the Happy Islanders Homemakers Group and Home Dem. In later years, she attended Mass at Immaculate Conception in Westerly, Rhode Island, and made many dear friends through the Insight Support Group, which serves blind and visually impaired people, at the Westerly Senior Center. Blunt and direct, those were attributes of her Vermont heritage. Don’t expect too much sympathy from her. If you were horribly sick, she would say, “You’ll be better soon dear. It could be worse.” On her overall outlook, she would say, “It’s a great life if you don’t weaken” and “You need to stop and smell the roses.” On the future, she would say, “Keep your eye on the prize.” If you were feeling downtrodden, she would say, “Pick yourself up by your bootstraps.” There was no time for whining-- only persevering and getting through it with hard work, determination and true grit. To be with Charlotte, was to talk to Charlotte. She was an incessant chatter bug who coaxed conversation out of friends and strangers alike. Grocery store lines, kitchen tables, doctors’ offices, it didn’t matter, you would fall prey to her never-ending line of questioning and need to know. She leaves three children, Shirley (Buxton), Charlotte’s longtime caretaker, and her husband, Scott Coope, of Westerly, Rhode Island; son, Elton Bora and partner, Marilyn Chase, of South Hero; and Nancy Bora of Essex Junction. She leaves a sister, Mary Macomber of Grand Isle; three grandchildren and their spouses, Ann (Donlan) and Michael Adaskaveg, of California; Deborah (Donlan) and James Varnado, of Florida; and Timothy and Sandra Donlan, of Swanton. She also leaves six great-grandchildren, U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Timothy Leon Donlan and wife Brandi; J.D., Tommy and John Paul Varnado; Paige and Cole Adaskaveg; and three step-grandchildren, Allison Adaskaveg; and Marisa and Ben Bachand. She leaves two greatgreat-grandchildren, Paislee and Pierson Donlan. She is survived by her sister-in-law, Joan H. Sherman, of Milton; dear friend Kathryn Smith of Westerly; and several nieces and nephews. Besides her husband, she was predeceased by brother, Walter Sherman; daughter Nancy’s partner, John Adams; and granddaughter-in-law, Bobbi Donlan. Minor Funeral Home, 237 Route 7, Milton is in charge of arrangements. Calling hours are 7 to 9 pm on Wednesday, October 16 from the Minor Funeral Home. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 am on Thursday, October 17 at Saint Rose of Lima Parish, 501 Route 2, South Hero, followed by Internment in Resurrection Park, South Burlington. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in her name be made to South Hero Rescue, PO Box 365, South Hero, VT 05486 or Westerly Ambulance Corps, 30 Chestnut Street, Westerly, RI 02891. Online condolences made be made at www.minorfh.com. ALBERTA “BETTY” CURTIS Alberta “Betty” Curtis, age 84 years, a longtime Alburgh resident died early Tuesday afternoon October 8, 2013, at her Boutah Road residence with loving family by her side.

The Islander, October 15, 2013 Page 9 The Islander, October 15, 2013 Page 10 To the Editor: Last Monday at the Grand Isle Selectboard meeting, the Board said they were going to interview and select the firm to design the new fire station. They were asked how the committee of five, who were to review the bids from the submitting firms were chosen. Ron Bushway is the moderator and cannot vote. He got several calls from Rick Ryder, he is one. Ron thought of Thomas Jagielski, because he works at IBM and knows how the process works with the score sheets. He wouldn’t have to explain them to him. Ron also thought of Andy Paradee because he is on the Development Review Board. And he thought of Carl Cobb Sr. because he is a major developer in Grand Isle, but no longer a resident of Grand Isle or Vermont. The board left an opening for a member of the Grand Isle Volunteer Fire Department and Chief Bill Baron filled that spot. So, there you have it. A committee, hand-picked by the Selectboard and most are against the building of the fire station on the Gordon site, a non-resident and the GIVFD chief. How fair is that? Paul Rousseau is also present at the meetings. Then, after stating that the interviewing of the three final firms would be held at an open meeting, they said it is now going to be done in executive session. So, there you have it.

I have spent several peaceful moments at White’s Beach-- so grateful to have this scenic beauty without haystacks or huge rocks. I figure the new slope from the road to beach a plus! I dare to think this may not be permanent, but the present state, pun intended, is a gift. Thank you!

Approximately 96% of our students: Pre-K thru 6th grade, along with the principal, teachers, parents, grandparents, younger siblings, former students, neighbors and friends of the community, town officials: Isle La Motte Town Clerk, Isle La Motte Select Board Member, and family pets came together to walk and roll to school. The event began at 7:15 am with all participants gathered at the Isle La Motte Fire Station. Walkers and bicyclists reviewed safe pedestrian and bike safety rules before they departed the Fire Station for their .7 mile “safe route to school”. Upon arrival to the Isle La Motte Elementary School, walkers and bikers were greeted by a very respectful and supportive crowd including a surprise guest: Steve Minecraft. Some of Isle La Motte’s own “Super Seniors” were holding signs while others were cheering, and honking horns. The celebration continued while participants enjoyed a delicious continental breakfast made by Chef Lisa. Walk to School events work to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance of issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, concern for the environment and building connections between families, schools and the broader community. Isle La Motte Elementary School is one of seventy school partners with the Vermont Safe Routes to School program and the only “platinum” partner in the state. Organizers would like to thank everyone for making walking and biking safe on Isle La Motte.

Hero 802.372.5527 Deadline Approaching for 2014 Watershed Grant Applications Applications are available for the 2014 Vermont Watershed Grants Program to fund projects that help Vermonters protect, restore and enjoy the state’s watersheds. Applications are due to the Vermont Watershed Grants office by Friday, November 22. “Watershed grants are available to municipalities, local or regional governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, and water-related citizen groups,” said Rick Hopkins of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (VTDEC). “Watershed grants can be awarded for many types of watershed projects, including those that protect or restore water quality, shorelines or fish and wildlife habitats.” “In light of the damage and lessons learned from Tropical Storm Irene and other recent Vermont floods, plus our ongoing efforts to better manage runoff containing nutrients and sediment, we are very interested in projects that implement practical measures or involve education affecting stream habitat protection, restoration, flood resiliency and related topics,” added Hopkins. Rod Wentworth, of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, explained that watershed grants provide a way for local people to make a difference. “This program, now in its 16th year, is a great opportunity for sporting clubs or watershed groups to undertake a project to help their local stream or lake, such as planting trees or developing a watershed conservation plan or outreach program,” said Wentworth. “Many Vermont rivers sustained damage as a result of recent floods and in some cases the recovery work that followed. The more we can do to spread the word about best practices for flood remediation and better runoff management, the better.” Vermont Watershed Grants Program is a joint project of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department and VTDEC. The program is funded by sales of the Vermont Conservation License Plate. The program has funded close to 320 watershed projects statewide since 1998. For the 2014 program, $100,000 is available to fund three categories of projects. The three categories of project types and the maximum amount for each project type are: education and outreach- $7,500, planning, assessment, inventory, monitoring- $5,000 and on-the-ground implementation- $15,000. “When Vermonters purchase a Conservation License Plate they’re helping protect healthy streams and lakes as well as conserving wildlife and important habitats for future generations,” said Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry. “Proceeds from the sale of Conservation License Plates fund the Watershed Grants program and help support the Fish & Wildlife Department’s Non-game Wildlife Fund.” The Watershed Grants application guide and application forms are available on the web at: www.anr.state.vt.us/dec/waterq/lakes/htm/lp_ watershedgrants.htm Applications for the Vermont Conservation License Plate are available on the Fish & Wildlife website: www. vtfishandwildlife.com/ support_plates.cfm and at offices of the Department of Motor Vehicles.

We should conclude testing by Friday morning, and we hope to be back to our regular schedule by Friday. Please try and make sure your kiddos get a good night’s rest and a hearty breakfast. Testing week can be stressful, as it offers an environment very different from the regular classroom. Please let us know if we can support in defusing this anxiety in any way. We will have a break from testing on Thursday afternoon. A group called The NED Show will be visiting at 1 pm. This group offers a positive behavior presentation, which you can see highlights of on youtube.com. The show is free for us, which is great. The drawback for having a free show is that NED will have a table to sell their wares on Friday and Monday. Do you have any interest in learning the yo-yo? We would like to thank Marisa Ward for volunteering her time to support our library classes. If you are interested in volunteering please contact me.

Vermont Quit Partners and Community Health Teams are Available Statewide Tobacco is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the US, but about 95,000 Vermonters smoke cigarettes and 800 Vermonters die each year from tobacco-related diseases. In 2011, 55% of all Vermont smokers, totaling 53,000 people, attempted to quit. Studies have shown that success rates for quitting nearly double when traditional methods, like medicine, are combined with in-person counseling and support. Vermont Quit Partners is the in-person counseling option for those who are looking to quit tobacco. Offered by The Vermont Department of Health Quit Network, Vermont Quit partners is a statewide network that includes fifty Quit Partners and fifteen community health teams. Quit Partner, Chari Andersen, of Northwestern Medical Center serves the Franklin and Grand Isle area. Andersen invests her time in helping Franklin Grand Isle citizens improve their life, health and overall wellbeing in weekly group cessation classes, which assist participants in preparing to stop using tobacco and support them after they quit. “I feel fortunate to be able to provide people with all the resources they need to succeed on their quit journey,” said Andersen. Andersen has counseled approximately 850 Vermont tobacco users during her two years as a Quit Partner. Her group cessation meetings cover a territory from Richford to South Hero. In her experience, Andersen shares, Chari Anderson “Successful quitters feel very accomplished and feel a new sense of well-being. Their increased energy levels and overall improved health are an obvious benefit to them.” The Vermont Quit Partners not only provides a forum for peer support and encouragement but also provides tools such as distraction putty, pedometers and free nicotine replacement therapy, including gum, patches or lozenges, to program participants. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the majority of cigarette smokers quit without using evidence-based cessation treatments. However, quit counseling and treatments with more person-to-person contact and intensity are proven effective for smokers who want help to quit, particularly when combined with nicotine replacement therapy or other medication. The Vermont Quit Partners is a team of people in communities across Vermont devoted to providing support and motivation to help Vermont tobacco users through the quitting process.

The participants were host Grand Isle School, Folsom School, Fairfield 7, Fairfield 8 and Georgia. It was a long day of soccer with eight games played over seven hours. The Folsom boys from South Hero were undefeated, winning all four of their matches. The highlight was a gritty overtime win over Georgia in the semifinal which Folsom won by scoring on three penalty kicks by Patrick O’Hara, Oliver Kowalewitz and Quinn Pidgeon to Georgia’s 2. The Folsom boys defeated Fairfax 8 in the final 3-1. Fairfax 8 placed second and Georgia third. Kudos to Folsom coach Jim Bellinghiri, Folsom’s Patrick O’Hara for scoring eight goals in four games and to Melissa Estus and all the Grand Isle sports boosters and parents for hosting a fantastic tournament on a beautiful day.
