Turner Toys and Hobbies owners Peter Sloan and Elizabeth Skinner are moving the business to Essex Junction on Monday.

heads from town to village
Turner Toys and Hobbies is leaving
Pinewood Plaza on River Road in Essex for
a downtown Essex Junction location.
Owner Peter Sloan, who lives just yards
away from the new location, plans to be
open in the office/retail space next to the
Essex Junction Fire Station on Monday. The
company primarily sells online; the move to
Pearl Street is designed to increase walk-in
business. It’s also a lifestyle enhancement
for Sloan and co-owner/spouse Elizabeth
Skinner, who will now have a short walk to
the office.
“We’re thinking we can sell a car,” Sloan
said.
The couple bought Turner Toys
three years ago from a toymaker from
Morrisville who had established a strong
early online sales presence. They moved
the business first to a location near the
Subway restaurant on Pearl Street, then to
Pinewood Plaza in 2012. The closure that
year of two Essex toy stores “Vermont Toy
and Hobby and The Learning Express ”
presented an opportunity for Turner Toys to
evolve beyond online retailing. Sloan fixed
the warehouse with display racks and began
promoting the store‘s walk-in dimension.
But tucked on the second floor of an
office complex at the edge of suburban
Chittenden County is not the ideal spot for
walk-in growth.
“People say, ‘you’re the best kept secret
in Vermont,’” Sloan says. “That’s a bad
thing.”
The village location shares a parking
lot with Brownell Library, and there is
potential to capture customers participating
in library programs. The location also puts
Turner Toys and Hobbies on the Train Hop
route during the holiday season.
“There is a good contingent of families
that walk around Essex Junction,” Sloan
said. “I’m hoping the walk-in business will
increase substantially.”
Turner Toys and Hobbies focuses
on American-made (and in many cases
Vermont-made) toys and hobby supplies. Its
niche is in toys geared toward science, math
and engineering. Sloan bought the business
after working for an online retail fulfillment
company in South Burlington. He knows
the vagaries of search engine optimization
that is so important for online sales.
“Some days Google loves Turner Toys,
and some days it doesn’t,” Sloan says.
He is in greater control of the walkin side of the business, and, starting
next week, in possession of a new
village location high on potential.

Cairn Cross had been looking
for a summer counterpart to
Peak Pitch. Then, he took up
motorcycle riding.
The co-founder at Shelburne’s
Fresh Tracks Capital, Cross
has been getting investors and
entrepreneurs together on the
slopes of Vermont for several
years with the Peak Pitch
event, offering a chance for
entrepreneurs to share a full day
of chairlift rides and ski runs
with venture capitalists.
The format for a summer
version was elusive, Cross said,
until he got his motorcycle
license,
began
riding
and
initiating himself with the rider
subculture. He realized quickly
there are a number of investors
like himself whose hobby it is to
travel the countryside by bike.
A group of venture capital investors from Vermont and New Hampshire
are launching a four-day motorcycle tour of Vermont in August to listen to
business pitches from around the state.

Cross put the word out over the
winter and spring and recruited
roughly two-dozen investors from
Vermont and New Hampshire for

August, ending with a meetup

A church camp counselor
is facing charges that he
sexually abused a 14-yearold girl, the Chittenden Unit
for Special Investigations
reported last Wednesday
afternoon.
Daniel Beaudoin, 57, of
Essex Junction was arraigned
on July 9 on four counts of
lewd and lascivious conduct
with a child for incidents that
took place since the victim, a
parishioner, was 8 or 9 years
old, Burlington Detective Cpl.
Rene Berti’s affidavit says.
The incidents were
first reported to Milton
police on July 5; Officer
William Bosworth notified
CUSI, which took over the
investigation, police said.
The victim told police
that Beaudoin repeatedly
exposed himself to her in the
car when there were other
children present. She also
reported similar incidents at
Beaudoin’s former Burlington
residence, including once
when he placed the victim’s
hands on his bare genitals,
the affidavit says. Another
time, Beaudoin told the
victim he went into her
bedroom while she was
sleeping and gave her a
massage, but the girl couldn’t
recall this, the detective
wrote.
Beaudoin served as a
parish camp counselor in
Jericho for 30-plus years,
overseeing 9- to 11-year-old
boys in dorms with another
staffer, the affidavit says.
Beaudoin reportedly told
the victim after the first
incident that he’d go to jail if
she told anyone, the affidavit
says. She kept quiet until
last year, when she disclosed
the abuse to a trusted parish
member. She told another
church leader and her family
last week after Beaudoin’s
persistent stare during camp
week made her increasingly
uncomfortable, police said.
Get ready for a new community
conversation.
The Heart and Soul of Essex,
through the Orton Family
Foundation of Middlebury, is
responding to a question that has
long lingered in the community,
one that has recently been pressed
by a newly formed citizen group
under the banner, Budget to
Ballot: Should the town vote on
its annual budget by voice in
an auditorium that seats only 2
percent of Essex residents?
The Budget to Ballot group in
May proposed moving the budget
question to a town-wide ballot
corresponding to the existing
school district an Essex Junction
municipal elections held annually
in April. The traditional March
Town Meeting Day would be a
forum for residents to debate and
amend the budget with the final
amount voted on in the auditorium
appearing on the April ballot, the
group proposed.
The group hoped to put the
question of whether to make
the change to voters during this
November’s election. But Essex
Selectboard chairman Max Levy
cautioned that a change of such
consequence deserves a full public
vetting and suggested involving
the Heart and Soul of Essex, which
last year wrapped up a two-year
community engagement campaign
to uncover the townspeople’s core
values.
On Monday, the chairs of Heart
and Soul’s successor committee
“one that has formed to further
Heart and Soul’s work through
Orton ‘implementation’ grants
” requested and received $5,000
from the Essex Selectboard’s
professional services fund as
a 50 percent match to Orton’s
implementation grant.
The result will be a $10,000
investigation featuring small,
facilitated neighborhood-level
conversations under the project
header: “The Future of Voting in
Essex.” They will take a similar
format to the original Heart and
Soul neighborhood conversations

with members of the press and take part in
a networking event with the Startup Essex
group that launched as a local network of
entrepreneurs in June. Vermonters hoping to
make a formal pitch to the pack of investors
should contact Cross at ccross@freshtrackscap.
com or visit www.freshtracksontheroad.
weebly.com for more information.
The four-day tour includes stops in
Middlebury, White River Junction, St.
Johnsbury and Morrisville. Each stop has a
local coordinator to organize the local pitch
sessions.
After media attention online from
the Wall Street Journal last week and a
subsequent flurry of interest from investors
and entrepreneurs, Cross believes the event
has a bright future, increasing the potential
for out-of-state capital to flow into the state.
“People really love the idea of spending a
week riding motorcycles around Vermont,”
he said in an interview Monday. “Dozens
of riders have the credentials to be part of
it. I think we will end up with a good-sized
event.”
So far about 25 investors have committed
to at least part of the tour. About 12 will
ride the whole tour.
The tour route chosen deliberately to
hit the rural parts of Vermont, Cross said,
but its ending in Essex is significant. With
rumors swirling about the sale of IBM’s
Essex facility, Cross hopes to highlight the
state’s up-and-coming ventures in IBM’s
backyard.
“It’s symbolic,” he said.
“Nobody wants to see change at IBM,
but everyone expects there will be. But in
the last 10 years, there’s definitely been
this renaissance of entrepreneurship and
a lot of companies in Chittenden County
that have been successful.”
He listed Winooski’s MyWebGrocer,
Burlington’s Dealer.com and the growth of
Keurig Green Mountain, which is expanding
at its Essex location, as examples.
“You can see there are startups that are
able to accelerate and add a tremendous
number of employees,” Cross continued. “A
healthy startup climate is the way you build
things for the future and to be resilient
when tough times hit. Hopefully this is a
better time for this uncertainty than might
have been the case a decade ago.”
Greg Morgan is chairman of the Essex
Economic Development Commission and
organizer of Startup Essex. He said Startup
Essex’s first event last month generated
interest from about 100 locals. Co-hosting
the culmination of Road Pitch at The Essex
is a chance to build the group’s momentum.
“There is a fair amount of good energy
here, but we need to do more,” said Morgan.
“This will be another startup event that
says ‘Essex is part of this conversation.’”

One-room schoolhouse reborn
Private Fairfax
facility
re-imagines
learning
By MICHELLE MONROE
For The Essex Reporter
FAIRFAX — The first private
elementary school in Franklin
County, the Imagine School
House, will open its doors in
Fairfax this fall.
Executive director Christina
DeGraff-Murphy said the school
was started by a group of parents
who believe there is a better way
to educate their children. “We
were feeling disconnected from
public education,” said DeGraffMurphy.
The parents were looking for
something more personalized for
their children.
They’ve hired a state-certified
teacher, Jessica Tomkowicz, who
has experience in teaching an
integrated, project-based curricula
in a multi-age classroom.
Each student will have a
personalized learning plan.
Detailed questionnaires already
have been sent to parents of
enrolled students in order to
gather information about the
students’ learning styles and
interests.
“Every student learns
differently,” said DeGraff-Murphy.
“Every student should have their
own individual education plan.”
DeGraff-Murphy also
described Imagine as “the rebirth
of the one-room schoolhouse.”
With a multi-age classroom,
what students learn will be
determined by their ability and
not their age, she suggested. For
example, a third-grade student
who is able to do fifth grade math
will be able to do fifth grade
math instead of being confined to
learning what other students of
the same age are learning.
Conversely, the same is true
for students who learn more
slowly.
The school also will use
project-based learning and is
working with community partners
as curricula are being developed,
explained DeGraff-Murphy.
For example, a local songwriter
will work with children on
songwriting, providing literacy
and music instruction.
Founders of the school hope to
create an environment in which
students are excited to learn. “It
should be a welcoming, exciting
learning environment,” said
DeGraff-Murphy.

“We were feeling
disconnected from
public education.”
Christina DeGraff-Murphy
executive director
She pointed out that schools
as they are currently designed are
not always the best environments
for learning. It’s hard to do
creative writing when sitting
under fluorescent lights, DeGraffMurphy noted.
The school will follow Vermont
state education standards, but
is adapting them in ways the
parents believe will better serve
their children. For example,
they are considering doing arts
instruction less frequently but for
longer periods of time, to allow
students to explore their creativity
in greater depth.
The curricula also includes
foreign language instruction.
Students are expected to play
a role in their own education,
beyond passively absorbing
what they are told. Instead, they
will be asked to help develop
their learning plans and will be
in charge of reporting to their
parents at what are traditionally
parent-teacher meetings.
“This is the kids’ learning
environment, and the teacher
is there to facilitate it,” said
DeGraff-Murphy.
The plan is also to have close
relationships between the school
and families. “Schooling doesn’t
begin at 8:30 and end at 2:30,”
DeGraff-Murphy said.
There are five children
enrolled for next year, with the
ideal classroom size projected
at 10. Sixteen is the maximum
number of students the school can
accommodate
In addition to Tomkowicz,

from page 1a
The report indicates the victim’s
relatives weren’t surprised when
she revealed the abuse. Her parents
told Detective Berti that Beaudoin
was known to have a pornography
addiction and to exhibit voyeuristic
behavior, the affidavit says.
The victim told police her parents
used a “two-person rule” when
Beaudoin was around children. She
“remembers thinking this was unfair
as a child, as the boys didn’t have to
do it, but she understood why now,”
the affidavit says.
The girl reported Beaudoin
frequently took pictures at family
events, did activities with the kids and
paid them generously for helping with
simple tasks around his house, the
affidavit says.
Detectives interviewed Beaudoin
at his River Street home in Essex
Junction on Monday, and when
confronted about the victim’s
disclosures, he “became very quiet

classroom.
Tuition has been set at $5,500

For the first two years, the
classroom will be located in

The classroom will have its own
entrance.

Though originally cited into court

Opinion
Perspective
‘The rest of the story’
By ANGELO LYNN
“There they go again.”
The Gipper (President Ronald Reagan) said it of Democrats
in the 1980s for what he claimed was twisting the truth in
congressional battles. The same phrase could be used in
Vermont these days as opponents of Gov. Peter Shumlin and his
administration produce a continous chorus of negativity about
the state’s economy.
In a recent column, David Sunderland, chairman of the
Vermont Republican Party, states unequivocally: “Despite
the claims from Gov. Peter Shumlin and his political allies,
the data supports what Vermonters know to be the truth —
Vermont’s economy is stagnant, there is virtually no net job
growth and low and middle income families are struggling
under the burden of rising costs.” He’s joined by similar partisan
comments from outfits like the Campaign for Vermont, and a
chorus of individuals who prefer to see the glass half-empty
and take every opportunity to suggest lowering taxes and less
government is the only way to ensure a growing economy and
strong state revenues.
And give them any chance to take a survey and twist it to
show the worst, and it will be done in a heartbeat. A survey by
the Thumbtack/Kaufmann Foundation, for instance, recently
gave Vermont a failing grade for not being “business friendly,”
a source pounced on by naysayers, despite the fact that every
Vermont governor since Gov. Dick Snelling’s second term has
made a concerted effort to change that perception and create
a business friendly environment — including Republican Gov.
James Douglas from 2002 to 2010. (That survey was also
seriously flawed as it represents two-year-old data and comes
from a very small pool of businesses — there was no update in
2013 and 2014 because the firm couldn’t get the minimum of 30
businesses to give them information — as if any 30 businesses
in the state could provide accurate data on the state’s economy.)
Fortunately, there’s more to talk about than doom and
gloom.
Here is, as radio personality Paul Harvey used to say, the
rest of the story:
• In the past biennium, the state has: initiated a one-stop
shop portal within the secretary of state’s office that will reduce
the paperwork of creating a business from 10 days down to 30
minutes; boosted VEDA’s Entrepreneurial Lending Fund by
$500,000; created a Great Jobs site in the state to simplify job
searches through Vermont Department of Labor’s JOBLINK,
which currently has more than 370 members listing jobs;
launched statewide financial networking workshops; continued
to make progress with Vermont’s EB-5 projects, including
work with Mount Snow ski resort, ANC Bio in Newport, Burke
Mountain Ski Resort and expansion at the Stowe airport, to
name a few.
• On the job creation front, the unemployment rate in the
state was 6 percent when Gov. Shumlin took office and is now
3.3 percent, second lowest in the nation. (Critics cite the U-6
rate, which are those underemployed or who have given up
looking for work, but that is the same throughout the nation,
and has always been higher than the unemployment rate.)
Furthermore, since 2011 about 11,000 net new jobs have been
created in the state, which works to counter those jobs that have
been lost in the constant churn of the economy. Vermont is also
among the top four states in the nation for wage growth in the
technology sector.
• While job losses dominate the news, including the focus
on what IBM might do in Essex Junction, here are a few
businesses that are expanding: Darn Tough socks in Northfield,
which projects a doubling of its production in the next few
years; Vermont Castings in Bethel; Keurig Green Mountain in
Williston; Mack Molding in Arlington; Vermont Hard Cider in
Middlebury; Vermont Precision Tools in Swanton; Dealer.com in
Burlington; Myland in St. Albans; an $80 million Spruce Peak
Adventure project in Stowe that will create jobs, as well as a $21
million, 80,000-square-foot club house at the Hermitage Club in
Wilmington, that will also create numerous new jobs.
In the food sector, Vermont has added 199 businesses and
2,162 jobs since 2009, and the overall number of farms in the
state has reversed a decades old trend to post an increase of
5 percent in the past five years. In the same time period, the
overall value of agricultural products has grown 15 percent.
On the energy front, Vermont’s incentives have been
working. Solar Foundation rates the state first for solar job
creation (1,000 jobs created in 2013 alone), and more solar job
creation per capita than any other state in the nation.
• In tourism, Vermont again posted a strong year in skier
visits, ranking it best in the East and third best in the nation,
just behind California and Colorado, but ahead of Utah for
the second consecutive year and far ahead of New Hampshire
or Maine. That leads to strong economies in the state’s 18 ski
resort markets.
• As for accolades, while Vermont may never rank in the top
10 most business-friendly states (because those rankings deduct
points for corporate taxes; regulations that provide for clean air,
water, safety and good building practices; high minimum wages
and other practices that promote healthy living and strong
communities), Vermont is consistently lauded for its quality of
life. CNBC recently named Vermont as the second best place in
the country for quality of life (next to Hawaii); ranked third for
working mothers, per WalletHub, and the CDC ranked Vermont
kids as the healthiest in the nation. Vermont was also ranked
first in the nation by Opportunity Nation’s “the Opportunity
Index” for the third year in a row, and has the second highest
in-migration rate of people with college degrees.
And that’s not all.
Vermont’s Legislature took important steps to provide
Vermont’s youth with needed skills by leading the nation in its
early childhood education programs with a $37 million federal
grant; invested $800,000 to double state support for dual
enrollment to lessen the cost of a college education for qualifying
students; and expanded access to universal pre-kindergarten
education to all three- and four-year-olds, as well as many other
education-based reforms aimed at preparing young Vermonters
for tomorrow’s more advanced economy.
The Legislature also invested the highest amount in the state’s
history toward rebuilding its transportation infrastructure, as
well as investing in a cleaner energy future for the state, including
$8 million to increase energy efficiency in state buildings, a move
that will generate annually savings of 5 to 10 percent for decades
to come.
The fact is the state does a lot to grow jobs, attract new
industry, prevent job flight, and, in short, create a strong
economy. It has for the past 30 years or more on an active basis.
It’s a tough job with stiff competition from the other 49 states,
and throughout the globe. We win some and we lose some.
Opponents can survey the scene as the glass being half empty
and bemoan the downside while ignoring the upside, or take a
different tack and champion what is working well, while working
on those aspects that could be done better. But the next time you
read or hear a litany of complaints about Vermont’s economy,
ask yourself this: What are they proposing that’s positive and
constructive, and what about “the rest of the story.”

Letters to the Editor
Farewell, ADL
Gymnastics
Accept this heartfelt
thanks to the community,
parents, students, athletes,
spectators and teachers
for all of your support over
the 38 years of the ADL
Gymnastics team. Despite
a 21-person team, 11 new
sixth-graders on the team,
and great success (No. 1 in
the ADL State Invitational,
and first, second or third
in every event), the ADL
Gymnastics program is
being cut.
Despite being one
of the only individual
sports offered at ADL, the
equipment is sold and the
program is now a memory.
Thanks to the Essex
Junction community who
supported and encouraged
the team with their
attendance at meets, the
ADL Invitational and the
half-time show. Thanks to
each of the team members
for their hard work,
dedication, leadership in
the school, community
service to the Lund Home,
willingness to work as
a team and support of
ADL. Thanks to all of the
parents who got up to bring
their children to our 6 a.m.
practices!
It has been a blessing
to coach the middle school
team since 1977 and see
gymnasts go on to compete
in high school and college,
and to have a number of
them go on to coach area
high school teams, as well
as coach in club programs.
Thanks to the high
school coaches and athletic
director for their support
over the years, as well.
And to ADL Gymnasts:
congratulations on all of
your individual and team
success. You have made
your mark! Ruth Dunkley

A retention plan
for IBM-Essex
The Board of Directors
of the Lake Champlain
Regional Chamber of
Commerce has voted to
endorse the implementation
of a robust economic
development plan to support
the current and successor
owners of the Champlain
Valley Technology and
Information Park known as
IBM-Essex. The Chamber
believes that the retention
of high-paying, value-added,
ADL’s Jenna Puleo, Anna Charland, Anna Ursiny and Hannah Poquette placed 1, 2, 3, 4 in the
all-aroud at the 2014 State Invitational.

jobs is even more essential
to Vermont’s economy as
the importation or creation
of new jobs. This resolution
supports the efforts of
our collaborative partner,
the Greater Burlington
Industrial Corporation, to
retain the over 4,000 jobs
currently at IBM-Essex and
to attract new value-added
businesses to the region.
For 60 years, the
knowledge-based economy
driven by IBM has defined
our region and our state.
Attributable in large part
to the presence of IBM,
Chittenden County has
become the economic engine
and hub of creativity for
Vermont. The world class
programs at our state
research university, medical
school and hospital have all
thrived with the assistance
of IBM. Our pre-K through
high school programs are
recognized as the best in
the state due to the support,
assistance and guidance of
the management and staff
at IBM.
The Board of Directors
of the Lake Champlain
Chamber of Commerce
endorses the following actions
in support of IBM-Essex and
any successor organization.
1. The creation of an
economic development zone
and accompanying incentives
that encompass the plant
and lands owned by IBM to
assist with job creation and
the retention of high-paying,
technology sector jobs. These
incentives could include:
modifications to Vermont’s
tax system; long-term utility
rate stabilization; job training
and education credits;
expedited development
permits on the property
owned by IBM.
2. The formalization
of linkages between the
University of Vermont, the
Vermont State Colleges,
Champlain College and
other institutions of higher
education that align
curricula, internships and
mentoring programs resulting
in a workforce-ready pool of
employees.
3. The creation of an
aggressive research and
development tax credit
program that competes with
surrounding states and
creates an attractive business
environment for companies
to locate in.
4. The creation of a
Technology Development
Cabinet, empaneled by the
Governor, that includes
representation from the
legislature, the business
community and higher
education with the authority
to plan and implement
ongoing strategies to attract
and retain high-paying
technology sector jobs.
5. Finally, we
respectfully request that the
House of Representatives
and the State Senate vote a
joint resolution when they
convene in January 2015
that expresses support
for continuing Vermont’s
relationship with technology
research, development and
manufacturing companies
and that promises to support
fiscal and educational
strategies that will attract
and retain jobs in Vermont.

Last call for Sally
By TIM ASHE
I frequently receive constituent calls and e-mails
seeking help resolving a wide range of state issues. Yet
after six years serving as your Senator, I still find myself
amazed at the absurdity of some Vermont laws and
regulations.
In September I received a note from Williston’s Vermont
Tap House. What was their transgression that led to a
stern talking to by the Department of Liquor Control?
Serving underage patrons, over-serving a drunk customer,
or handing out free Absinthe? None of the above.
Vermont Tap House’s mistake was serving four
4-ounce tasting glasses of beer at the same time to one
patron. Here’s where the absurdity comes in. Vermont
restaurants may currently serve two 16-ounce beers at
one time to the same patron for a total of 32 ounces. They
may not, however, serve just 16 total ounces of beer if the
beer is served in more than two glasses. Got that? Thirtytwo ounces okay, 16 ounces not okay!
The only exception to this rule is brewpubs, who
are well known for selling sampler flites or paddles so
customers can try out a few offerings.
In light of the proliferation of quality Vermont beers —
which is fast becoming a nice economic success story — it
makes sense to allow all establishments to serve sampler
flites, and to eliminate the mathematical nonsense that
led to Vermont Tap House’s gentle scolding from the
state.
I’m happy to report that working with the guys at
Vermont Tap House and several other establishments we
passed legislation that fixes this problem and allows the
samples to flow.
On a personal note, I’d like to add that this legislation
was the last sponsored by the late Sally Fox. This
Thursday, when the Governor publicly signs the bill into
law, I’ll be raising a glass to Sally.
Tim Ashe is a state senator representing Chittenden
County.

VHFA announces executive
manager retirement and promotion Vermont Housing Finance Agency
(VHFA) announced on July 7 that Patricia
Loller, Director of Administration, will
be retiring from the agency effective July
15. Concurrently, Maura Collins will be
promoted to the position of Director of
Administration and Policy. “Pat has been my right hand since I
joined the agency 15 years ago,” VHFA
Executive Director Sarah Carpenter
explained. “Her dedication to VHFA’s
mission and unmatched diligence
have guided so many ground-breaking
improvements in the way the agency
operates.”
Loller, a long-time South Burlington
resident, was named Vermont’s Human
Resource Professional of the year in 2013. In addition to overseeing both the human
resources and information technology
departments as VHFA’s Director of
Administration, Loller has served as
vice president and Society for Human
Resources Management representative on
the board of the Vermont Human Resource
Association. She joined VHFA in 1998. Upon her departure, Loller will pass
the reins for VHFA administration to
Collins, currently the agency’s Policy
and Planning Manager. In her new role,
Collins will oversee both the agency’s
administrative functions as well as its
research and communications activities. She will also continue to serve as
VHFA’s legislative liaison for Vermont’s
congressional delegation. “Among all the players who build,
operate and finance housing, Maura
has emerged as one of the state’s
most effective coalition builders and
communicators,” commented Sarah
Carpenter, VHFA’s Executive Director. “I
am delighted to have her helping me lead
the agency in an expanded capacity.” Collins, of Essex Junction, received
the Rising Star Award from the
Vermont Business Magazine in 2012. This award recognized Collins as one of
Vermont’s top 40 young leaders younger
than 40. Births

MISSING THAT SPARK?
Whenever a spark plug fires, the
plasma of the spark erodes the electrodes, causing the gap to increase.
In time, the enlarged gap requires
more energy to fire the plug, which
can exact a toll on the coils. For
this and other reasons, spark plugs
should be replaced as needed. While
this may seem to be a simple procedure that any home mechanic may
do on his or her own, spark plug replacement may not be as simple as
it seems. To begin with, attempting
to remove the spark plugs when the
engine is hot can damage the plugs
and the engine head due to different
rates of thermal expansion. Having
an experienced technician perform
the work eliminates unnecessary
problems.
Spark Plugs deliver performance
that increases power, improve fuel
efficiency, and reduce emissions.
At ESSEX AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES, our service technicians are
equipped with helpful insights and
a solid understanding of what’s required to make sure every repair is
done right — that’s the reason we
can help boost your fuel economy,
restore lost power, lower emissions
and deliver an overall smoother ride.

S
o, back to reality. Sadly our
Mediterranean cruise came
to an end. We had a fantastic
time. The weather, food, service,
travel and ship were more than
enjoyable. More on that later. Now
deep into the heart of summer as
we hit mid-July, hot days, family
vacations, beaches and a whole lot
of relaxing should be the priority
and the plan.

The Essex Reporter
Heading into the 11- and 12-year-old
softball state tournament, Essex had high
expectations to make it through.
Not only did they make it through
their opponents in the state tournament,
they did it in impressive fashion.
Essex claimed the Vermont State
Championship with a 19-1 five-inning win
over Lyndon on Saturday at Airport Park
in Colchester.
“This team has been together for four
years,” said Essex coach Jim Svarczkopf.
“A lot of them have been playing together
on the all-star teams since they were
9-years-old.
“I’ve said it from the start, I think this
is the best team Essex has ever had,” he
added. “I don’t necessarily think there are
more superstars or better players on this
team than past year’s, but as a team this
is the best group that I have ever seen.”
With the win, Essex advances to the
Little League Softball Eastern Region
Tournament that is slated to begin on
Friday.
Essex will open up the tournament
against Connecticut on Friday at 8 p.m.
They will also play teams from Maine,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire before
the knockout round begins on July 24.

District baseball tournaments come to an end
The Essex Junction 10
and 11-year-old baseball team
advanced to the Vermont State
Tournament after winning the
District III Tournament last
week in Swanton.
After losing to St. Albans
5-4 during its second game
of the tournament, Essex
Junction breezed past the
competition, as it set up a
rematch with St. Albans in the
championship round.
Essex Junction won a
tight 4-3 decision in the first
game of the championship
round against St. Albans. Adie
Stevens pitched a five-inning
gem for Essex Junction before
Patrick Morgan pitched the
sixth to secure the win.
“Both Adie and Patrick
were terrific,” said Essex
Junction coach Tom Heins.
“They got clutch strikeouts
with men on base, which was
the difference.”
Brandon Nielsen hit a
two-run single to give Essex
Junction the win. Jerry
Manrique got on base three
times in the game and scored
two runs. Zach Schmalz was
2-for-3 with two RBIs.
After the tight game to
force one last showdown, Essex
Junction took care of business
winning 16-5.
Clutch hitting was the
name of the game for the
team in the final game. After
TEST
TEST is having another banner
summer. Pete Picard, Justin
Bouffard and Becky Anderson
are doing a fine job coaching
the younger, older and veteran
swimmers. Strange summer
swimming technicalities may
have cost this group the state
title last year. This summer the
team is bigger, older, stronger
and seasoned. Sand Hill Pool and
TEST host home meets this week
with a huge meet against the
EDGE Thursday night. Parents
and fans of both teams are
reminded to give the swimmers
and coaches their space on the
deck. Last summer the SHP
staff and TEST coaches made
a decision to expand the deck
area for spectators instead of
restricting fans to just the grass.
Most of the Essex fans and parents
understand the rule changes,
which include food behind the
taped areas. Please help us with
this during the meets as visitors
are not sure of our rules or may
not be aware. The snack bar is one
of the finest in the area and our
officials are top notch. The pool
staff and lifeguards will be both
guarding during the swim meet
and helping to enforce the rules to
keep the pool safe for everyone.
The Essex Junction 10 and 11-year-old baseball team celebrates after beating St. Albans in the District III
Championship game last week in Swanton. JOSH KAUFMANN
scoring four runs in the first
inning, Essex Junction scored
nine times in the third with
two outs. Morgan was 2-for-3
with a bases clearing triple.
Jonathan Smith was 3-for-4
with four RBIs in the game.

Personal notes
Cruise News.... some very strong
winds blew into our boat when we
left Mykonos last week. Blowing
deck chairs forced the closing of
parts of the top deck for a couple
of hours later that afternoon. The
temperatures hit the high 90’s in
Istanbul and Kusadasi /Ephesus
the next two days. If you like heat,
this was the place to be. The pool
was refreshing. Athens was next,
and the temp eased back into the
high 80’s. We walked around the
dock city stores, and retreated to
the comfort of the pool and the
Deck 16 Pizzeria. A very relaxing
sea day followed by our last stop
in beautiful Venice, Italy. We took
a water taxi into town, explored
San Marcos Square and had
some pizza in a local restaurant.
The ship docked overnight and
made the disembarking so much
easier. The seven hour VenicePhilly flight passed, and we were
back home by 10 p.m. Awesome
trip! The following people made
our vacation special and smooth:
Lawrence our room steward,
Conrad - waiter, Agus - assistant
waiter, George - head waiter, Ivan Allegro Dining Room host, Oswaldo
- pool guy from Mexico who we
respected because he had the
thankless job of disciplining brats
by the pool who continually broke
rules. He worked hard to keep this
one pool free of young running,
diving and jumping maniac
youngsters from all over the world.
He got no help from their lazy
parents who could not or would
not control their own wild kids.
Tom Franick - energetic, talented
piano player from Minnesota with
weird jackets and shoes, a solid
voice, and a great act. I saw some
terrific movies like Tom Clancy ‘s
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and
Three Days to Kill — extremely
suspenseful, Noah — interestingly
Hollywoodish, The Son of God
— very powerful, Draft Day —

“Abbey is by far our
most consistent pitcher,”
said Svarczkopf. “She is
automatic out there and
she is just going to throw
strikes over and over.
“And we have a great
defense to make the plays
behind her,” he added.
“Our defense has done a
great job so far, so it makes
it very tough on other
teams to score runs.”
Essex took a 7-0 lead

it erupted for 12 runs to put

Pros
Can you believe the
excitement of the World
Cup! I watched more
games this year than
ever before. With the
U.S. playing, even my
wife was cheering and
sometimes yelling at
the TV. Seems it’s ok
when she does it. How
about Brazil crumbling at
home no less and being
outscored 10-1 in the semi
and consolation games?
Congrats to Germany
on their 1-0 win and
Argentina for their run to
the finals.
The Yanks are slowly
fading while the Red Sox
have been sputtering all
spring. Last week Boston
cut their 2014 free agent
catcher A.J. Pierzynski
who was simply not
hitting. One Boston
writer stated in the Globe
that he thought it was
funny that players were
“trashing Pierzynski...on
his way out the door...for
looking at his cellphone at
his locker after he’d come
out of a game.” Three of
the pitchers Pierzynski
caught on that team used
to eat fried chicken and
drink beer during games.
Looking at your cellphone
isn’t so bad.
Catch the All-Star
game, the HR Derby, and
the ESPY’s if you can this
week.

TRAVELING SPY. Based in Cologne, Germany, Björn Schülke is
informed by Dadaist traditions, randomness and the absurd. The
sculptures demonstrate Schülke‘s interest in modern abstraction,
music, and instruments of scientific measurement, as well as
his desire to disrupt life as usual. By activating motion sensors

Once activated, the sculptures‘ slow and deliberate movements
are playful and anthropomorphic. Exhibit runs through July

“WORLD IN YOUR HAND.” Art on Main presents “World in your
Hand” which showcases work by Essex Junction photographer,
Cal Williams and pottery by Plainfield farmer Leslie Koehler. Cal
Williams is a self-taught photographer, active in the craft since
he borrowed his brother's camera and purchased his first roll of
film over fifty years ago. Viewers often comment on the striking
vividness of the colors in Cals photographs and the delicacy of
the details he captures. Cal‘s engineering background is evident
in that attention to detail and faithful representation of color,
as well as technical precision and high quality materials. Potter
Leslie Koehler received a degree in Art History from the University
of Massachusetts focusing her studies on Japanese Ceramics.
After graduation she held a year long apprenticeship, then
traveled first to Alaska, then to Africa where she worked with
traditional potters to learn the artistic skills of indigenous cultures.
She moved to Vermont in 1985 and established her own studio
in 1989. Leslie’s majolica style pottery incorporates the many
elements of her world-wide interests: Mediterranean pottery,
the tiles of the Middle East and North Africa, and Japanese ink
painting with its simple, yet elegant brushwork. The exhibit will
be on view through August 17. Art on Main, Hinesburg. Gallery
