The town plan revisions to date were reviewed. Ann Tiplady presented suggested revisions.

Revision procedure and review process were discussed. It was suggested that review and revisions may be more effectively conducted during regularly scheduled Commission meetings with the possibility of utilizing overhead projection such that real-time input and discussion could occur with all attending members. It was suggested that Ann Tiplady and John West coordinate to initiate this process.

Energy Committee

The Committee would like WES to receive the free energy audit as they are the biggest municipal energy user.

Shrewsbury requested the Board’s opinion on the transfer of one pupil from Wallingford to Shrewsbury, who was not chosen in the RSSU transfer lottery. The pupil’s sibling was selected in the lottery. The Board agreed to follow the lottery process, which is fair because Wallingford would have to pay additional unbudgeted funds to send the pupil not chosen to Shrewsbury. Both pupils are welcome at WES.

06/28/10. Present: C. Macleod, J. Gilman, T. Chila, S. Pytlik, R. Nimtz, D. Scranton , and J. Burkett

The water garden work will begin on July 1st. If there is time, Ethan Swift and the VYCC will begin trail work on the north side of the beach (referred to as the "fisherman’s walk"). We need to create signage for the notable trees, etc on these trails. Ethan will order a sign for the rain garden. Ralph and Tim will work on final design and cost estimate for a simple kiosk at the beach. It was decided that we either need to buy or borrow a laminating machine. Shannon volunteered to make the signs. CC will request the balance of their 2010 budget.

We are still not sure how we got the SurPak, but we will need more. Josh will find out if the Town road crew can flatten the Stone Meadow path, move the large stone to low areas along path that need fill, and either spread the SurPak on the path or create several piles along the path that the committee can move with wheel barrows and rakes.

You may have noticed the new rock lined ditch leading to the perennial garden down at the beach and wondered…what an odd place for a garden? Well it is not just any old garden it’s a rain garden intended to manage and treat runoff from the parking lot and walk way. Rain gardens work by capturing rainwater and runoff from the parking area and sidewalk and diverting it into a great looking rain garden where it can slowly soak into the ground, filter contaminants and keep large quantities of water from eroding the beach and polluting Elfin Lake .

A rain garden can mimic the natural absorption and pollutant removal activities of a forest and can absorb runoff more efficiently, sometimes as much as 30% - 40% more then a standard lawn. Capturing rainwater in a rain garden, holding the water for a short time and then slowly releasing it into the soil can reduce the rush of a large storm – quickly, neatly and naturally. Rain gardens are one very good option that helps to lower the impact of impervious surfaces and polluted runoff because they are low-tech, inexpensive, sustainable and esthetically beautiful. (www.RainGardenNetwork.com)

To top it off the rain garden, as well as some trail improvements and signage yet to come, was fully funded by the state Watershed Grants program and the labor was donated by the Vermont Youth Conservation Corp (VYCC). Special thanks to the VYCC for their labor and Ethan Swift, the Agency of Natural Resources Watershed Coordinator, for his technical assistance and oversight of the VYCC crew!

In addition to the rain garden, the Wallingford Recreation Committee members have made many improvements to the beach to improve the drainage and aesthetics of the area. They installed a new lawn and hidden underneath they put drainage to prevent the water from washing down off the hill slope from erode the beach into the lake. They built a retaining wall down by the beach to hold the soil together and I hear there are more improvements yet to come!

Foot and blood pressure clinic on Wednesday, August 4th at 10:30 a.m. at the Wallingford House.

We will hold bingo on the 2nd Monday of each month at the Rotary building at 1 p.m. The public is welcome.

The Gilbert Hart Library
Well, the library has been all-volunteer for more than a month now and we are doing wonderfully well. Patrons who are new to the library have commented how friendly and fun it is. Townspeople who have used the library for years are noticing some welcome changes and have told us to keep up the good work! This is all very encouraging to your friends and neighbors who are working hard to keep the library open. We have expanded hours and now we are open each Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon. We have received lots of new books so come on in and see the great materials we have right here at home.

Anyone who would like to help work at the library should give us a call and we can do a brief training and get you started. There are many jobs within the library so we are looking for help in any area. If you have a talent you would like to share or a program you would like to see, let us know and we will try to arrange it.

Have a happy rest of summer. Hopefully the weather will be great here in the Green Mountains !

Sun & Mon: closed
Tues:              10 - 5:00
Wed:              10 – 8:00

Hart Lines By the Friends of Gilbert Hart Library
The Library is a bustling place these days with restored hours and many patrons coming and going. As you probably know, we are operating with many Trustees and Friends volunteering their time, at the same time hoping to reduce the deficit, or, at least, trying to keep it from getting deeper through the present fiscal year. In October we will look at a new budget and the possibility of hiring a new Librarian.

The Friends continue with their usual summer activities. On Wallingford Day, we had a book and tag sale in the Klock Room. We feel we did quite well with the economy still in recession. There are many books left to choose from and I would advise anyone interested in books to come and look them over before we ask various librarians to come in and pick and choose. Most books are $1.00 for hard cover and $.25 for paperback. There are also movies, videos & audios for sale.

On August 11th we will have our annual pot luck picnic at Sue Thayer’s on Centerville Road in East Wallingford . We leave from the Library at 10:00 a.m. carpooling out to Sue’s. Bring a dish to share and a chair. We will be coming back around 2:00 p.m. All are welcome.

The Friends are looking for more members at this time, as several of our members have reached a rather ripe old age and are happy to cede their seats and duties to others. We realize we may have to change meeting times and reorganize a bit to keep this vital organization going, but that can be done. Call Betty Emery, 446-3366, who is our new president, or call the Library and leave your name and telephone number, so we can return your call. Or better yet meet us at the Library at 10:00 a.m. on August 11th and join our pot-luck picnic at Sue Thayer’s. We always have others joining us – the more the merrier!

Whist parties for the month of August are scheduled for Friday, August 6 and 20, both at 7:00 p.m. Carol Pratt is still in charge, telephone 446-2843.

Thinking of the future, we must decide what we will do for book discussions this year – our numbers were down to two or three at each discussion, a little depressing. We also need to come up with programs the general public might like, and what movies, if any, folks might like to schedule. Our fall dinner needs some discussion and planning as well. All these need our attention as well as any input you wish to give.

Nelons Tift Runing for State Representative
Wallingford Constable Nelson Tift has launched his campaign for the Vermont House with a personal priority that includes lower taxes, an improved business climate, frugal state spending and halting discord between the Legislature and the governor’s office.

“ Vermont needs to stop bleeding jobs out of our state,” Tift said in announcing his candidacy for the Rutland District 3 House seat, representing Shrewsbury, Tinmouth and Wallingford. “Young people see few job opportunities here and are leaving for areas where there are more jobs.”

Tift, who is also a special police officer in Mendon, said the three greatest challenges facing Vermont are intertwined; getting people back to work, reforming the state’s property tax system and developing an energy plan for the future.

According to Tift, Forbes Magazine ranked Vermont 47^th in terms of being “business friendly.” “We are not looked upon favorably in that regard,” he said. “Yet they go hand-in-hand. You cannot create new jobs without enticing new business to come here.” And reducing taxes is an important component in nurturing that business friendly image, he added.

Tift, a father of two sons who enjoys camping, fishing and his annual RV vacation, described himself as conservative.

“I feel a real need in Montpelier to treat every dollar we spend like it was coming out of my own pocket,” he said. “We are spending ourselves into debt that we soon won’t be able to finance. I don’t want huge cuts in services, either, but we cannot continue to fund every appropriation that is proposed.”

Tift vowed to be open and accessible to his constituents, and to listen to their comments, questions and complaints.

“I expect to represent YOU, not just a political party,” he said. “I mean that.”

Rutland South Supervisory Union Announces New Superintendent
The Rutland South Supervisory Union Board is proud to welcome Dana Cole-Levesque as its new Superintendent of Schools effective July 1. He replaced retiring Walter Goetz.

Mr. Cole-Levesque is enthusiastic about taking over as superintendent at Rutland South from Walter Goetz. He said, "Everyone has been very welcoming and helpful as I get to know the community and school staff members." He added, "Walter did an excellent job as superintendent for the district - filling his shoes will not be easy." Mr. Cole-Levesque also said, "People are justifiably proud of their schools here and have shown solid support for the learning opportunities they create for their children. Although the coming years will present significant challenges financially," he added, "I am confident that the RSSU community is positioned well to address those challenges thoughtfully while maintaining high quality educational opportunities for all students."

Mr. Cole-Levesque was principal for six years at Otter Valley Union High School in Brandon before becoming Superintendent. He has also served one year as principal at Fair Haven Union High School and for five years as associate principal at Vergennes Union High School. Earlier in his career, he taught social studies at Milford Area High School, in Milford, NH , and business law at Norwich University , in Northfield. He has experience as a former member and chair of the Bethel School Board in Bethel, Vermont ; as Vermont 's Land Use Administrator for the Agency of Environmental Conservation; and as Vermont's Commissioner of Labor and Industry. He practiced law for a number of years in Bethel. He and his wife, Virginia, live in the village of Lilliesville in Bethel and have two grown children. He spends time helping his wife in the gardens, working around their old farmstead putting up wood and keeping up with repairs, and occasionally playing golf, kayaking, biking, and snowshoeing or cross country skiing in winter.

He welcomes your comments and questions and can be reached at the RSSU office, 775-3264, or via e-mail at dcole@rssu.org. The Supervisory Union is composed of Wallingford , Shrewsbury and Clarendon.

Walter was Principal of WES for 15 years and Superintendent of RSSU for 7 years. He started in education over 40 years ago as a teacher in Brooklyn, NY. He and his wife, Pat, have two children and four grandchildren, with the newest baby arriving July 21^st. Walter plans are to travel, kayak, read, and work on his 200-year old home. Happy and health retirement Walter.

FRENCH & FRIENDS
East Wallingford resident Tom French, who suffered a stroke in the spring, will be headed back to Vermont at the end of July. His daughter will spend a couple weeks with him at the house while they figure out exactly where he'll live. He's made it clear he does not want to live at the house. It was getting to be too much for him even before the stroke, and he seems to have made up his mind that it's time for change.

Some of his amazing friends and family have organized a fund raiser celebration for him. As we all know, he will need outside help when he comes home. Some of this will be paid for by the VA, but it typically doesn't cover more than the basics.

Please come and help our friend Tom French and his family at this event and fundraiser. Tom has been there to help and support so many people, and now it is our turn to help him.

Kids’ Cove of Wallingford
A Non-Profit Community Daycare and Preschool Center Opening in September!

Kids’ Cove of Wallingford serves families in the Rutland Region by providing a safe, loving and fun learning environment for children. Kids’ Cove is a quality non-profit childcare center formed in February 2010 by a group of Wallingford area parents in response to the sudden and unexpected closure of Wallingford Day Care, which left 47 children and their working families without a childcare solution, resulting in a community crisis.

After forming, Kids’ Cove quickly identified a potential home in a historic building owned by the local Masonic lodge. This building, located at 65 South Main Street (Route 7), is well sited and laid out to accommodate a new childcare facility. The site has ample green space for children to play outdoors and the rear property line abuts the Wallingford Elementary School. A connecting gate eliminates the need for children to walk along Route 7 and Route 140 twice a day. The space has the licensed capacity for 45 children: up to 7 infants in the infant room and up to 10 toddlers and 20 preschoolers in the great room.

The current families looking for care live in Clarendon, Wallingford, East Wallingford, Mt. Tabor, Tinmouth and Danby. Kids’ Cove of Wallingford will provide a preschool learning program for three and four year-olds, and intends to re-establish and build on the collaborative arrangement previously developed between Wallingford Day Care and the Wallingford Elementary School.

Kids’ Cove plans to open its doors in September 2010 as a Vermont-licensed childcare facility providing care and play-based learning for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged children. During the academic year, the center will provide preschool five mornings a week. During summer vacation, the center will provide a summer camp experience for school-aged children through 12 years of age.
