Barbara exclaims: “I enjoy my Thursday lunchtimes with Wyleigh! Our relationship has developed in the last year and a half, and seeing her grow and change is a delight, especially because I have a granddaughter just half her age. I come from a long line of teachers and have been a teacher myself. I love being back in school. This year we have begun branching out from just reading to adding games. We are very competitive! I’m looking forward to three more years of seeing Wyleigh in Salisbury before she moves on to Middle School.” Thank you for volunteering as a Reading Mentor, Barbara!

Previously, Ann taught in public schools in several states and in Venezuela and she explains: “I think the phrase ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ is true. The saying came either from an ancient African proverb or Native Americans, but Hillary Clinton brought it to our attention. Now that I’m retired, I want to continue contributing to our ‘village’. I’ve always enjoyed working with young people and it makes my life richer knowing the staff and students at Vermont Adult Learning.” The staff at VAL appreciate Ann’s patience and willingness to help students and staff members achieve their mutual goals.

Having struggled as a child to master reading, I want to help bring my love of reading and stories to a local student. It’s rewarding to see my mentee open up and be willing to read to me and for me to share stories and books I loved as a child with him.” Thank you so much, Ellen.

Graciela SarabiaGraciela Sarabia, is a film and media major at Middlebury College who volunteers for Nomadicare. She updates the Nomadicare website and patiently archives the many hours of video footage they have of nomadic life in Mongolia. When asked why she volunteers, Graciela answers: “As a Middlebury College student, volunteering gives me the opportunity to experience the community surrounding the college bubble. I think it’s important to branch out…to engage and make a contribution. Volunteering is a great way to do this while utilizing my skills and interests. I get so much more from Nomadicare than I give to it. It’s inspiring to learn about something great someone is doing to help a small, neglected group of people. I see what goes into successfully running a non-profit organization. I’m exposed to a culture that is entirely different from my own. I personally witness how an independent author and filmmaker uses media to create art and spread awareness of a cause - something I aspire to do. I also enjoy working with Sas!” Sas Carey, founder of Nomadicare, appreciates Graciela’s commitment, saying: “Graciela is contributing to the cultural survival of nomadic herders. If the nomadic life does not survive, she is helping us maintain the essence of the lifestyle for world knowledge. Thank you, Graciela!”

Fran NelsonFran Nelson has been a visible presence on a routine basis walking the corridors as Porter Medical Center’s Mail Courier. Her willingness to cover last minute absences in the mail room has been much appreciated. She also leads the Bone Builders group twice weekly. Fran volunteers to keep in contact with PMC people of all ages and to keep her bones moving! Asked what she enjoys about helping Porter, Fran likes to think she is helping the staff so they can be freed up to take care of the patients. She really enjoys visiting all the offices and the relationships she’s developed over the years. Thank you Fran!!!

Maria CastanoMaria Castano, of Shoreham, volunteers as a Reading Mentor for the Elementary School’s Everybody Wins! program. She meets with her mentee, Cole Warren, every week and especially enjoys the special relationship that has developed between the two over the past few months. She explains: “More than helping the young reader, he has helped me learn patience and humility.” Julie Thompson, who coordinates the program, praises Maria’s enthusiasm: “Maria has a real zest for life that is infectious. Working with her student brings out her love of life.”

Linda Wentworth QuinnLinda Wentworth Quinn has generously donated her time, energy and knowledge of early American history to the Henry Sheldon Museum education programs for two years. Her enthusiasm flows over into all aspects of her work. Whether presenting a ‘Colonial Times in Vermont’ tour at the Museum or leading a group of students in the ‘Westward from Vermont’ game (which she helped to develop), Linda is able to foster curiosity, creativity and cooperation among the students. Linda says: “Kids are a lot more capable than most adults give them credit for.” Huzzah, huzzah, huzzah for Linda Wentworth Quinn! We can’t thank you enough, or list all of your contributions.

Jane HalpinJane Halpin has been a registered nurse for “more years than you can count.” Now a nurse at EastView, Jane returned to Middlebury thirteen years ago and, inspired by her mother’s long-term commitment to volunteerism, began volunteering as a nurse with Open Door Clinic ten years ago.

Emily FullerEmily Fuller and her enthusiastic boys, Ben and Peter, have been volunteering at Junebug for years. Week in and week out, Emily visits Junebug to collect adorable but slightly imperfect items that can be restored with a little laundering. Miraculously, she treats them with sun or spot removers or fairy dust, and then returns impeccable clothes to Junebug where they help find them new homes. Junebug’s directors exclaim: “We love the days when her boys come charging through our doors asking if there is anything they can do to help. Junebug simply would not run without Emily’s time and dedication. Thank you, Emily!”

Jenna SonnebornJenna Sonneborn is the kind of volunteer that any non-profit would be privileged and honored to have. In her time at Junebug, Jenna has served on the board of directors and volunteered in the store as often as needed. She is the kind of volunteer who is willing to do whatever it takes. She was even there when the store flooded in November, running a rug cleaner until the professionals showed up. Her creativity, craft skills, and rapport with young people help make Junebug’s annual fundraiser so much fun for all. Thanks for all you do for Junebug, Jenna!

Linda FieldLinda Field, of Ferrisburgh, volunteers at the circulation desk, which is an important “point of service” at Bixby Library. Linda serves each and every patron with the politeness and respect we want all of our patrons to experience. She is helpful and upbeat and has a great sense of humor! Linda made the transition from the world of paper to electronic circulation seamlessly. Asked why she volunteers, Linda said: “I love being around people and I enjoy the world of books.”

She explains: “I enjoy this organization because of how welcoming it feels to go there on Sundays… I feel like I’m doing something good for my community.” Thank you, Lili, for your dedication!

Lorrie MullerLorrie Muller, of East Middlebury, has been volunteering on the board of the Friends of Ilsley Public Library since she moved to Vermont in 2002. She explains: “The Friends fund the programming of the adult, children’s and teen events. It is great to see all of the things that are happening!” Lorrie is truly devoted to volunteering, and can be found helping out at the United Way, the Sheldon Museum, the East Middlebury Historical Society, the Charter House, the Town Hall Theater, Round Robin, or the Foundation for Alcoholism Research when she is not at the Library. Ilsley staff appreciate her commitment, saying: “Over the past year and a half, Lorrie has shepherded the Friends of Ilsley Public Library through a period of great transition. She took on coordination of the monthly book sales and helped to organize a multi-day sale in November and a renovation of the space that the Friends use to store and organize books. She has spent hours coordinating volunteers, setting up new systems, running meetings, and hauling books. Her enthusiasm and commitment are an inspiration. Thank you, Lorrie.”

It’s against the law to discriminate when advertising housing related activities.

Particularly on sites like Craigslist.

And it’s easier to break the law than you might

think. You can’t say “no children” or “adults only.”

There is lots you can’t say. The federal government

is watching for such discrimination.

Let us help you sift through the complexities of the Fair

Housing Law. Stay legal. Stay on the right side of the

nation’s Fair Housing Law.

Some live just one paycheck

away from being homelessHe had a workplace accident in Au-

gust and had fallen behind in his rent.

Economic Opportunity’s (CVOEO) Housing Assistance Program (HAP) staff referred him to the Seasonal and Crisis Fuel Program, and Weatherization services. We set up a payment agreement with his landlord and supported that with Housing Replacement Funding. He had his taxes completed at our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program Tax Site. The $1,000 he will be receiving from his return will tide him over until he goes back to work. His words: “I can’t wait to get back to work.”It is no longer an ad-

age. We now have the surveys and research reporting that a full third of our population is “only one paycheck away from homelessness.” Finding a home and remaining in a home are continually at the top of the list when looking at issues of poverty.Do we throw up our hands because

of the enormity of the need? Not in Addison County. Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) efforts were bolstered by the American Recovery and Rein-vestment Act (ARRA) back in 2009. That program covered provision of

rent to get those in need quickly into housing. It made funding available for rental arrearages and short-term assistance to keep families in their homes and prevent homelessness. The Federal HPRP program ended on June 30, 2011. The funding through HPRP made

Funding (HRF). HRF took up where HPRP left off.A single father with two young

children came to CVOEO looking for help with just one month’s worth of rent. The time he spent in court ad-

dressing custody issues and an illness with one of his sons meant that he lost time at work. He is now back work-ing full time and adjust-ing to being a single parent. The help of one month’s rent kept him from job loss and helped him keep cur-rent and in good stand-ing with his landlord. “This assistance was a good investment in helping to stabilize this family,” said a CVOEO housing specialist. HRF funding will

end on June 30, 2013. A new opportunity awaits Addison County with a Community Hous-ing Grant. Housing

providers, advocates and community partners are gathering to plan and write one combined grant to address the housing needs in our community. This is a joint effort that will add a component of a warming shelter to protect those we serve from the win-ter weather.

She came from one of the Southwest-ern states and was working with Wom-enSafe. Advocates from WomenSafe, CVOEO and HOPE worked with her on subsidized housing, utilities, credit references and myriad other resources to make sure that she was safe and had a future that held promise. She is an example of collaboration at its best and what the new Community Hous-ing Grant can provide.There is an Irish proverb that says,

“It is in the shelter of each other that

MIDDLEBURY — Last week-end, 10 students from Middlebury Union High School joined over 500 teenagers from 35 different schools in a three-day Model United Na-tions conference run by Dartmouth College. In Model United Nations, students act as diplomats and ne-gotiators from different countries, coming together in a simulated effort to solve world problems. MUHS students participated in a variety of committees, and took home two awards.James Lincoln, rep-

resenting Zimbabwe, worked with the dele-gates from Iran and Chi-na to advocate for their solution to the current Syrian civil war. For his efforts, Lincoln earned an Honorable Mention in the Disarmament and International Security

“away” Model UN con-ference, Lincoln said, “The experience is an unforgettable one, and I learned a lot from fellow delegates.”Adam Joselson took the role of

master of the interior in the Coun-cil of Sparta, in a Historical Joint Crisis in which Spartans, Athe-nians and Persians each attempt-ed to control the outcome of the Peloponnesian Wars. In his posi-tion paper, Joselson argued that “the power and greed of Athens is nothing when compared to that of Persia. United, we could defeat Persia in all her might, but Athens has divided Greece. … We cannot

still hope to win, brave as our men are. We simply do not have the re-

destroyed if we try. But let us also not forget our own allies, for we do not stand entirely alone. Corinth, Thebes, Syracuse and almost the entirety of the Peloponnesus stand at our back. Whatever the outcome

remembered, whether as the last defenders of independence to stand

of Hellas.” Joselson, a sophomore, was awarded Best Position Paper in his committee.The Currrent Joint Crisis Com-

mittee dealt with a reality-based and rapidly unfolding scenario of North Korean belligerance. Elias Wyncoop as secretary of transorta-tion in the United States cabinet, Sonia Howlett as minister of health and wellness in the Chinese polit-buro, and Emily Fleming as minis-ter of foreign affairs and trade in the

South Korean cabinet, contributed to efforts to defuse the rapidly rising tensions on the Korean peninsula. Wyncoop said, “I found it amaz-ingly fun and challeng-ing, with the right bal-ance of seriousness and humor.” Howlett said, “I really enjoyed Dart-MUN this year, espe-cially being on the crisis committee. It was very exciting and fast-paced.

And Fleming said, “I really liked the diversity of the people involved;; the girl who sat next to me for two of the days (the minister of justice) was from China.”The majority of MUHS students

were assigned to represent Zimba-bwe in various committees. Sopho-more Nathan Cobb represented Zimbabwe in UNESCO (UN Edu-

Organization), where he advocated for increased rights for Palestin-ians. He said, “All students should feel the invigorating sensation of standing in front of 60 people and describing your country’s particu-lar position.” Marcelo Hanta-Da-

women’s access to education in sub-Saharan Africa, and was able to cite Zimbabwe’s strong record on providing equal educational op-portunities for women, even with few resources.On the other hand, Emma Cra-

MUHS students join Model United Nations debates

on gay rights. Zach Bechhoefer, on the International Atomic Energy Agency, argued that Iran had just as much right to develop nuclear weapons as Western powers. Jo-nah Lefkoe, in the World Health Organization, debated the issues of clean water development — the roles of public vs. private water companies — and how best to manage healthcare wastes.The Model United Nations pro-

gram at MUHS is coordinated by faculty advisers Christine Heagy, the Latin teacher at Middlebury

Union high and middle schools, and Carolyn Schmidt, the program director at ECOLOGIA, an inter-

in Middlebury. In addition to the Dartmouth conference each spring, MUHS Model UN students attend a one-day conference in Burling-ton in the fall, and organize and run their own one-day conference in Middlebury, which is attended by students from other schools such as Vermont Commons and Vergennes Union, Rice Memorial and Burlington high schools.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury-based Bridge School will offer on-line foreign language classes to all of its students next fall, thanks to a new agreement with Middlebury Interactive Languages. Students in kindergarten through sixth grade will have access to top-quality Spanish, French, German and Chi-nese courses in the school’s com-puter learning lab and after the school day ends. “We are thrilled to make this pro-

gram available to Bridge students,” said Cynthia Clarke, Bridge School mentor and teacher. “It opens up new opportunities for language learning that would be very dif-

and it’s a wonderful complement to our emphasis on world cultures.”Bridge School is an early adopt-

er of the Vermont World Language Initiative, a partnership between Middlebury Interactive and Mid-dlebury College that provides dis-counted access to online language programs and teacher training. The K-2 portion is offered as a pilot program in partnership with Mid-dlebury Interactive.All of Middlebury Interactive’s

courses are based on the immersion

learning model of the famed Mid-dlebury College Language Schools. Students taking the language class-es can learn at school, with guid-ance from teachers and staff, as well as at home or anywhere they have web access. School staff will receive support and training from Middlebury Interactive to assist students in their language learning.The cost of the four-year pro-

gram has been underwritten by an anonymous donor. “We are ex-tremely grateful to this generous friend of Bridge School for recog-nizing the value this program will bring to our students,” said Clarke. “This gift will have a lasting im-pact for Bridge students, and we hope to share what we learn from the K-2 pilot program with other educators.”

Middlebury Interactive’s programs very exciting, especially at the ele-mentary level,” said Stephen Diehl of Cornwall. “Many kids this age love language study, but they often have to wait until middle school to get started. It’s great that they’ll get a jump on languages while they’re at such a receptive age.”

MIDDLEBURY — WomenSafe announces that Addison County art-ist Phoebe Stone’s artwork will grace its 2013 Mother’s Day card — the 12th annual Mother’s Day card in the Local Women Artist Se-ries.Stone says she has al-

ways been an artist. One of her earliest memories

party in which an easel and paints suddenly ap-peared in her house along with a group of children and a lot of balloons. At the party, she and all the children had to stand in line waiting for a turn to paint at the easel. When the guests went home she thought the easel and paints would leave with them. “Oh, no,” her family told her. “The paints and easel are yours to keep!” From then on, she has found

great joy and solace in painting. She also writes novels for young people (published by Arthur A. Levine

Books, Scholastic) and has written and illustrat-ed four picture books for little ones.Before combining

her love for images and words into picture books, Stone was a success-

painter. During this time, she has received two Ver-mont Council on the Arts painting fellowships. Her work was exhibited in many museums and gal-

leries all around New England and

New England artists with her unique, brightly colored narrative and meta-phorical style.Presently, Stone resides in Addison

County. When she is not writing or

in her garden, which she makes into bouquets to paint. She also loves to read and study history. In the warm

markets and can often be seen with her husband, David Carlson, riding bicycles around Addison County.The pastel “Picnic with Mama”

that graces the front of the Women-Safe 2013 Mother’s Day card is an illustration for a book called “A Day in the Country,” which has not yet been published. Making a donation to WomenSafe

in the name of one’s mother or friend will help those women who may not be safe this Mother’s Day. Donations may be sent, by May 8, to Women-Safe, PO Box 67, Middlebury VT 05753, along with the name and ad-dress of the chosen honoree. Wom-enSafe will acknowledge the gift by sending that person Phoebe Stone’s “Picnic with Mama” card.

LOCAL ARTIST PHOEBE STONE sits before a pastel titled “Picnic with Mama,” which has been selected as the image for WomenSafe’s 2013 Mother’s Day card. Cards are available through WomenSafe.

Brandon gallery exhibits nature paintingsA new exhibit, “A Sense of Place,”

by Ruth Hamilton, is now on display at Brandon Music through June 8. Her passion and deep connection to

series of paintings, showing an ap-preciation for the sustenance and beauty of it, but also a disturbing sense of just how precarious that world is.Hamilton has had a fascinating

career: running a ski lodge with her parents as a kid;; as a dairy farmer

RN in prisons, as a trauma nurse in NYC, and more recently as an RN at Castleton State College where she received her nursing degree;; im-mersing herself into the New York City art scene;; and traveling across the country in a pickup truck study-ing ethnic, indigenous and outsider art and cultures. Creating art though it all, Hamilton returned to Vermont 13 years ago, answering a call to the land she couldn’t ignore. She main-tains a home and studio in Poultney. “The process of making art is the

way I feel at peace, fully in my own skin,” said Hamilton. “It is kind of like being born and seeing the world

-ing awed. Plus it is just plain fun;; a playful and engaging way to live.” Hamilton created another series of

works recently, featuring some of her favorite faces;; however, this series is a completely different subject than the wildlife and landscapes shown in “A Sense of Place.” A fan of Brit-ish comedies, Hamilton turned her painting skills to a series of portraits depicting many of her favorite “Brit-com” characters. Many will recog-nize Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean, Judi Dench as Jean Pargetter, Patri-cia Routledge as Hyacinth Bucket, and Frank Thornton as Capt. Stephen Peacock.

“UPLAND ORCHARD, CORNWALL, Vt.,” is part of a series of land-scape paintings in Poultney artist Ruth Hamilton’s current exhibit, “A Sense of Place,” on view at Brandon Music through June 8.

The paintings were donated to

Arts Foundation, of which Hamilton serves as chair. The foundation has since teamed up with Vermont Public Television’s (VPT) Britcom Club to auction off the paintings at English tea events each April. At these teas, members help choose which British comedies VPT airs. Brandon Music, one of seven venues holding a tea event this year, hosted the private function on April 17. The proceeds from the auction were split between VPT and the foundation, which in turn supports the new Compass Mu-sic and Arts Center in Brandon. Note

cards of the paintings are also avail-able to help support the Foundation and Arts Center. They are available for sale online at www.cmacvt.orgBrandon Music is located at 62
