VUHS board gets a look at challenging budget

Posted on January 7, 2016 |
By Andy Kirkaldy



VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union High School board on Monday looked at a $10.3 million budget proposal for next year that, despite a proposed spending increase of only $37,000, could increase the VUHS tax rate by about 20 percent.

That is, it could see the rate increase unless the Legislature acts to remove or delay the Act 46 spending penalty.

This coming Monday, the board will look again at a budget that could call for cuts. The meeting will be at 6 p.m. at VUHS.

By Andy Kirkaldy



VERGENNES — School boards for the Vergennes Union High, Vergennes Union Elementary, Ferrisburgh Central and Addison Central schools will all meet this week to begin what Addison Northwest Supervisory Union officials expect to be another challenging budget season.

MIDDLEBURY — Back on Dec. 19 and 22, the Middlebury Union High School girls’ hockey team stumbled with a pair of back-to-back one-sided road losses, scoring just twice. Those setbacks left a team that reached the Division I final this past winter with a 3-2-1 record.

That was then. This is now: Last week, the Tigers swept three visiting D-I rivals, including one of the teams that had defeated them, collectively outscoring them by 17-6.

Clippings: The issue of junk mail is no joke

Posted on December 30, 2015 |
By Andy Kirkaldy



Clippings by Andy K mail CMYK.jpg

Every other Monday, I carry a couple of clear, 30-pound trash bags full of recycling down to the Buttolph Drive curb.

Nothing unusual about that, of course, except that a lot of it consists of mail addressed to my dad, and he died in May.

So far, the nice folks running the team of horses who haul away our trash and recycling haven’t suggested we take our business back to Casella because of all the extra weight.

By Andy Kirkaldy



ADDISON — Sixty firefighters from three departments were unable to save the Addison home of a family of five on Sunday, said Addison Fire Chief Chris Mulliss.

Mulliss said firefighters from his department reached the Town Line Road home blaze within seven or eight minutes after being alerted just before noon on Sunday, but the fire had already spread too far between the ceiling and roof of the mobile home.

“It was a fully involved structure fire when we got there,” Mulliss said. “It was just a total loss.”

Vergennes eyeing sewer extension policy

Posted on December 23, 2015 |
By Andy Kirkaldy



VERGENNES — The Vergennes City Council last week revisited an issue that has cropped up often in the past two decades — the extension of city sewer service outside city lines. The council’s discussion was prompted by another in what Vergennes City Manager Mel Hawley describes as a series of calls on the topic.

This latest inquiry came from a real estate expert interested in the Ferrisburgh property across Route 7 from Vergennes being marketed by auto dealer Tom Denecker — who has himself often dialed Hawley’s number to talk sewer.

MIDDLEBURY — Defending state champion Essex visited the Middlebury Union High School team on Saturday and as expected came away with a 120.5-96.3 victory, but there were bright spots for a Tiger team with 11 sophomores and freshmen on its 13-strong roster.

With Essex choosing not to compete in the all-around, Tiger junior Leah Raymond won that event and also placed fifth on the beam.
