FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh selectmen met on Monday evening with other officials and members of the town’s historical society to begin talking about the future of the town-owned Union Meeting Hall, which sits on Route 7 at its intersection with Middlebrook Road.

The building is showing its age, and selectmen are wrestling with the cost of maintaining it, which is not covered by the rent paid by a church that uses it for weekly worship and other meetings.

In the past few years, the Vermont Principals’ Association and coaches’ associations in several sports have tinkered with divisional alignments.

VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union High School team found itself on both sides of error-fueled rallies late last week, when they stunned host Middlebury on Thursday with three runs in the sixth, 3-2, but lost a late one-run lead to visiting Mount Mansfield on Saturday in a 5-3 setback.

The split of those two games, plus a win at Burlington earlier last week, left VUHS at 5-8. That win total represents the program’s high-water mark in more than a decade.

MIDDLEBURY — Monday’s 11-10 overtime loss to visiting Mount Anthony probably means the Middlebury Union High School girls’ lacrosse team must settle for the No. 2 seed in the Division I tournament behind the No. 1 Patriots.

If the 9-2 Tigers hold serve the rest of the way, as they did by defeating Champlain Valley at home on Tuesday, 14-13, they will earn home field for the playoffs through the postseason until a potential title-game rematch with MAU (10-1).

VERGENNES — In an annual goal-setting session at last week’s Vergennes city council meeting, Alderman David Austin suggested that the city look to form an economic development committee that could work to improve the area’s business climate and offer support and information to potential new ventures.

“I think we really need a local economic development committee,” said Austin, a Main Street business and property owner. “I continue to believe there is economic opportunity here in Vergennes.”
