Basking in the enjoyment of summer and breathing 

in the fresh air wafting in the windows. Many have 

commented this week about how they wish we could 

bottle up this weather and have it all year round. 

As much as I agree, I know that we, as Vermonters, 

appreciate it more because we only have it for a short 

period of time, and we certainly wouldn’t have the lush 

greenness if we didn’t have cool weather sometimes. 

I, for one, will make every effort to appreciate it while 

it’s here. Life is good in the neighborhood!

A Celebration of a Life 

Devoted to Liberty 

Hardy Macia 

Easily overcoming persistent rains, over a 

hundred met in the Pavilion at Mill’s Riverside 

Park in Jericho, Vermont on Sunday, June 16 in 

honor of the memory of long-time libertarian 

activist Hardy Macia who died on May 13, 2013. 

Libertarians from Vermont and New Hampshire 

spoke in gratitude for Macia’s life and work, in 

sorrow for his too early demise, and in sympathy 

for his family’s loss. 

For many years, Hardy Macia was a member of 

the Libertarian Party. He devoted considerable 

time, ability, and energy to expound core 

libertarian beliefs in greater freedom, less 

government, fewer regulations, lower taxes. He 

worked hard in support of the unalienable rights 

of every person to life, liberty, and property. 

Macia’s efforts were critical in building the 

Vermont Libertarian Party in the 1990s and 

2000s. He was a past Vermont delegate to the 

Libertarian National Convention where he was 

among those honored for helping make the 

Vermont Libertarian Party the fastest growing 

state affiliate, and the second largest state 

libertarian party in the country in proportion to 

state population. He also served as state chair 

of the Vermont Libertarian Party, and became 

regional representative on the Libertarian Party’s 

national committee. 

He served as a selectman in Grand Isle and 

became chairman of the Grand Isle Selectboard. 

He actively campaigned to become Governor 

of Vermont in 2004, and later worked on the 

presidential campaign to elect Libertarian Party 

nominee Gary Johnson. Hardy recently moved 

to New Hampshire to join the Free State Project. 

The current chair of the Vermont Libertarian 

Party, Jeremy Ryan, stated “I’ve witnessed him 

campaign and work so passionately for the cause 

of liberty for all. He showed much dedication and 

optimism in everything he worked on. Everyone 

seemed to like him, even those who didn’t agree 

his beliefs. People knew he was the real deal, 

they knew he was doing what he felt was right 

and they respected that. He was a crucial part of 

the party here in Vermont.”

Two Centuries of 

Ministry 

and Living into the 

Third 

In the early summer of 1813, the Anglican 

Bishop of Quebec took a leap of faith. He named 

Micajah Townsend, then a seminarian, to be the 

very first minister for Caldwell Manor, the area 

that now covers Alburgh Springs, Clarenceville, 

and Noyan. The newly ordained minister 

settled in Clarenceville in 1815, and by 1818 the 

cornerstone for Saint George’s, Clarenceville was 

laid. The Reverend Canon Townsend’s ministry 

was wide and long and deep, and he made a 

lasting contribution to the larger community. 

The 200th anniversary of the bishop’s leap of 

faith is being observed this coming Sunday, June 

30, with a worship pilgrimage. The Borders 

Regional Ministry is now comprised of Saint 

Luke’s Episcopal Church in Alburgh; Saint 

George’s Anglican Church, Clarenceville and 

Saint Thomas’ Anglican Church, Noyan. The 

pilgrimage to each of the churches is being led 

by the Rt. Rev. Thomas C. Ely, Episcopal Bishop 

of Vermont. 

The pilgrimage starts with a 9 am service of 

Morning Prayer at Saint George’s; then a 10 am 

service of the Great Litany at Saint Thomas’ and 

ending with a 11 am service of Eucharist at Saint 

Luke’s. All services are open to the public. A 

buffet lunch for the worship pilgrims will follow 

at the Links on the Lake in Alburgh. For more 

information or to make a lunch reservation, 

contact the Borders Regional Ministry pastor at 

802-863-8036 or tlchadwick@comcast.net.

Donors Needed for 

Local Blood Drive 

There is a critical need for all types of blood! 

The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at 

Folsom School in South Hero on Tuesday, July 

2 from 12:30 to 6 pm. All eligible donors are 

encouraged to come out and help. Although blood 

has been collected for many years, the shelf life 

of a pint of blood is only 42 days, thus the reason 

the supply must be continually replenished. This 

is particularly important during the summer 

months when donations often decline. 

There are some residents here in Grand Isle 

County that have a critical need for blood and 

blood products, so, let’s help our neighbors by 

going out to donate. New donors are especially 

welcome. 

In order to be eligible to donate blood through 

the Red Cross, donors must be over 17 years of 

age, in good health, must not have donated in the 

past 56 days and must pass the medical history 

criteria. In Vermont, 16-year-olds are allowed to 

donate with parental permission; there are other 

height and weight requirements also. The entire 

donation takes about an hour with the actual 

donation time lasting ten minutes. Remember to 

bring some personal identification: blood donor 

card, pho id or two forms of id, and relax and 

enjoy refreshments afterward, including ice 

cream donated by Island Homemade Ice Cream. 

Giving blood is completely safe and makes you 

feel good! Organizers are hoping to exceed their

HAROLD “HUTCH” R. HUTCHINS 

Harold Ray Hutchins, 88, of Milton, formerly of 

Medford, Canton, and Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, 

died on Saturday, June 15, 2013, at Fletcher Allen 

Hospital in Burlington. 

Hutch was born on March 17, 1925, in Malden, 

Massachusetts, to the late Earl and Alice Hutchins. 

Following graduation from Medford High School 

in 1943, he joined the United States Navy, serving 

as Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class, Navigator 

and Flight Engineer for the Air/Sea Rescue/Patrol 

Bombing Squadron in the Pacific. At the end of 

WWII, Hutch was part of the air-sea patrols guarding 

the 1945 United Nations Conference with Churchill, 

Roosevelt, Stalin and Chiang Kaichek attending. He 

received an honorable discharge on April 3, 1946, and 

remained in the US Navy Reserve until 1952. 

After attending the Northeast Aircraft School, 

Hutch worked for 39 years as an Aircraft Service 

Manager/Auto-Pilot Specialist at Wiggins Airways 

and at Logan and Norwood. He left Wiggins in 1983 

and worked for Griffin Avionics at Hyannis until he 

retired in 1987. He continued to tell stories and draw 

lessons from his working life until the day he passed 

away. 

Hutch will be greatly missed by his wife of 64 years, 

Barbara; his two brothers, Stanley and wife, Shirley, 

of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, and Ray and wife, Jane, 

of Sarasota, Florida; and his four children, Judy Keller 

and husband, Jim, of Gig Harbor, Washington and 

LaQuinta, California, Janet Yates and husband, Peter, 

of South Hero, Rob Hutchins and wife, Ginger, of 

Washington, DC and Gwen Hutchins of South Hero. 

He also leaves twelve grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren 

that he was so proud of. Hutch was 

predeceased by his eldest daughter, Nancy Sevene, in 

2007. 

Above all, his life was devoted to his large extended 

family that included special nieces and nephews and 

“adopted” family friends. Hutch was like the “pied 

piper of Camp Everest”, leading everyone to the 

beach or filling the station wagon with children and 

heading to the village for ice cream; teaching kids to 

water-ski, drive and play cribbage; or sitting in his 

special chair with the newest baby held contented and 

sleeping in the crook of his arm. A favorite memory 

of the little ones was sharing cherries with “Gramps” 

and then spitting the pits over the camp hill. 

He spoiled his beloved Schnauzers and enjoyed 

working and playing outdoors in all weather. He took 

great pleasure from his vegetable garden, hunting, his 

old Boston Whaler, and driving the shuttle tractors for 

South Hero’s AppleFest for 18 years. He also liked a 

good round of golf, and was very proud of his first 

hole-in-one in 1986. Hutch and Barbara enjoyed 

traveling but especially to Maine and the Maritimes. 

Hutch was a Vermonter at heart. He loved Lake 

Champlain his entire life and instilled the same 

enthusiasm in his family. He died with few, if any, 

regrets and every person who knew and loved 

him is a better person because of it. As one of his 

grandchildren, Tynan Hutchins, wrote: “We may not 

build our own houses on the tops of hills in rural 

Vermont, but my grandfather’s independent spirit has 

been passed down to all of us. I’d like to think that his 

inclination to trust and his sense of right and wrong 

did as well.” 

An informal gathering to celebrate and remember 

Hutch’s life was held at the family cottage in Milton 

on Saturday, June 22, 2013. Donations in lieu of 

flowers can be made to Make-A-Wish Foundation, 

100 Dorset Street, South Burlington, VT 05401; or 

Champlain Valley Agency on Aging (CVAA), 76 

Pearl Street, Suite 201, Essex Junction, VT 05452. 

FINI C. (KAS) SCHUTZ 

Fini Carolina (Kas) Schutz, 72 passed away on 

Monday June 17, 2013 at her home in Grand Isle. 

She was born on June 20, 1940 in Amsterdam, the 

Netherlands daughter of the late Johannes and 

Hildegard Kas. 

Along with her family, she immigrated to New 

Zealand in 1951. At age 18, she left New Zealand 

to travel the world. Fini lived in Sydney, Australia, 

Vancouver, Canada, Washington DC and also 

traveled throughout Europe before finally landing in 

New York City. There she met and fell in love with 

Ronald Schutz; they married on May 23 1970. Their 

daughter Kristin was born in 1974, and in 1980 they 

moved to Vermont where they ran a successful inn 

and also a restaurant. In 2003, Fini and Ron retired 

to Grand Isle to be near the lake and their daughter’s 

family. Fini was a loving, warm and generous 

mother, grandmother and wife. She was a friend to 

many people near and far and will be greatly missed 

and always cherished. 

Fini is survived by her loving husband of 43 

years Ronald Schutz of Grand Isle, her daughter 

Kristin Schutz, son-in-law Anthony Matero and 

granddaughter Lily Schutz Matero of Fairfax Vermont, 

sister Caroline McLean of New Zealand and brother 

Robert Kas of Australia, as well as many beloved 

nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. 

Per Fini’s wishes, internment will be private and at 

the convenience of the family. Memorial contributions 

in Fini’s memory may be made to CiDER of South 

Hero VT, who the family thanks for their generosity 

and kindness during Fini’s illness.

Special Summer 

Events 

to Support Local 

Rescue Squad 

Attention to all friends, family, neighbors, 

acquaintances, and summer visitors. Here is a 

wonderful idea for grand eating and community 

support combined in three exciting summer 

events! The Grand Isle/North Hero Rescue 

Squad Auxiliary will be hosting a Strawberry 

Social and two Sunday morning breakfasts this 

summer. 

The Strawberry Social will be held at the Pomykala Farm in Grand Isle on 

Sunday, June 30, from 1 to 4 pm. The berries are red and juicy and bursting 

with flavor. Busy volunteers will be making shortcake, sundaes, smoothies 

and chocolate-covered berries for your discerning taste buds. Fine ambiance 

will be provided by the delightful folk music of The Pot Luck Trio group. Be 

sure to attend! 

The breakfasts will be held at Saint Joseph’s Church in Grand Isle on 

Sunday, July 21 and Sunday, August 18. Important correction: please note that 

these two dates are slightly different than those previously publicized. This 

is the place to dine! The menu includes: eggs cooked to perfection, pancakes 

with real Vermont maple syrup, piping hot sausage and ham, homemade 

doughnuts and fried dough and that perfect cup of coffee or tea. Plan to make 

these benefit breakfasts the memorable meals of Summer 2013. 

Donations given at these events will support the fine work of the volunteers 

of the Grand Isle/ North Hero Rescue Squad who respond when needed to 

all sorts of emergencies with professionalism and state of the art equipment. 

Please jot down these dates on your 2013 summer calendar and plan to attend 

these fun, delicious, community-supporting set of events! 

A “Mini-Tanglewood Experience” 

at the Historic Fisk Farm 

The annual Pro-Series Concerts, presented by the Isle La Motte Preservation 

Trust on beautiful Fisk Farm on Isle La Motte, have been described as a “mini- 

Tanglewood experience”. For eleven years, Music Director, Michael Waters, 

has engaged top notch performers for these summer concerts, dazzling 

audiences in the old Horse and Carriage Barn at Fisk Farm. The wooden barn 

with its two Knabe grand pianos and superb acoustics provides a magical 

setting for music of the highest quality. 

The two-concert series begins this year on Saturday, July 13, at 7:30 pm 

with a performance of songs from South America, arias from Italy, and ballads 

from Broadway. This will be presented by a gifted husband and wife team 

from Burlington and Bogota, Colombia: Sarah Cullins, soprano, and Daniel 

Gaviria, classical guitarist. During the second half of the program concert 

artist Andre Sebastien Savoie will accompany Ms. Cullins on the piano. 

The second concert of the series on Saturday, August 24, at 7:30 pm, will 

feature two extraordinary young artists: fifteen-year-old Bryan Cheng, cellist 

and his sister Silvie Cheng, pianist. Bryan made his orchestral debut at age 

ten with I Musici de Montreal Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of Yuli 

Turovsky, and since then he has been the guest soloist with I Musici for 

numerous concerts, including at Montreal’s Place des Arts, Pollack Concert 

Hall, Salle Claude-Champagne, Tudor Hall and Pierre Charbonneau Centre. 

With his sister Silvie on the piano they have twice performed in Weill Recital

venues in Montreal, as well as, performing in the United States, Belgium, the Czech Republic, and 

Holland. “Thoroughly idiomatic and polished performances....especially poetic and purely magical 

playing” wrote the New York Concert Review of these talented young artists. 

This year the Concert Series will partner with two Isle La Motte businesses. Ruthcliffe Lodge will 

offer a special pre-concert dinner for concert goers beginning at 5 pm with regular menu items offered 

at a 20% discount. Call 928-3200 for advance reservations. At Fisk Farm, Ice Cider and Apple Wine

Advance reservations are usually needed for the limited inside seating. One may purchase tickets at 

the door for $28 if inside seating is still available. Seating on the lawn is $15 and children accompanied 

by paying adults are free on the lawn. Bring your own lawn chairs or blankets. For reservations, call

Local Man Becomes Pastor 

Many of you know David Light from North Hero. He and his wife, Yelena, moved here from NYC 15 years ago. David has been very active in the 

community serving on the Parks and Rec Commission of North Hero, on the board of many different Methodist Church committees, as a justice of the 

peace-- he did oversee the marriage of a few of you, he ran for State Representative, but he’s probably best known for his ten years as the artistic director 

of The Village Players, and has served as lay speaker and leader in The Champlain Islands Parish for the last few years. 

An ardent Christian for over thirty years, those of you who were blessed by hearing him lead 

a service or just give a message will agree that his messages were strong and memorable. A few 

years back David recognized God’s call. Questioning his age but aware of all God’s blessings 

in his life, David answered that call without hesitation by entering a course of study for the 

pastorate. On Saturday, June 15, at the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church 

at Gordon College, David was certified as a local pastor. 

As of July 1, he will serve as pastor of both the Middlesex and Moretown United Methodist 

Churches. The first question that comes to mind is will the family relocate and what will become 

of their True Light Farm. When asked, David responded with “It’s an hour and fifteen minutes 

away. Being from NYC and LA I’m used to commuting that long to work and this commute is just 

beautiful. Between living here and working there God is doubly blessing me with the best of both 

worlds. And I just love North Hero to the point that I really feel at this time the only way I‘d leave 

is to be chained and pulled out of the town. I don‘t think I‘ve done anything to deserve that, yet.” 

When told that a local person was heard commenting that David seems unafraid to do anything 

David simply said that his favorite scripture remains, Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through 

Christ who strengthens me”. He then added “Still, I can always use a couple of prayers.” Prayers 

for a successful ministry go with you, David.

June is passing real fast, but summer always speeds 

right by. Today is the longest day of the year, and 

it sort of feels like it. 

It is the first day of summer, and it sure seems 

like it-- it’s over 80 degrees today. Sure glad I 

have my AC in. Temperature is supposed to 

go up to 90 on Monday. First, we get a hot dry 

spell, and then it rains-- can’t keep up with the 

weather.

The last weekend of camping: nothing like 

sitting by the camp fire, with coffee in hand, 

laptop on the lap and fighting the poor WiFi 

connections. The kids are now older, so, the 

parents can stay up late and sleep off the night 

before. I reflect on when I was their age and 

camping in the same spot with my grandparents, 

in their 18-foot Holiday Rambler with the itchy 

lime green couch. The same giant chipmunk sits 

out front, although it does seem a bit smaller 

than way back then. Fishing, ball playing, bike 

riding and friendships young and old.

Student Receives 

Civilian Marksmanship 

Program Youth 

Scholarship 

Sydney D. Crady, of Grand Isle, has received the 

2013-2014 CMP Youth Scholarship, presented by 

the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). She 

participated in the Burlington Rifle & Pistol Club 

and will receive a one-year, $1,000 scholarship from 

CMP based on marksmanship participation, grade 

point average and merit, to be used towards a pursuit 

of higher education. 

The scholarship selection meeting was held on 

March 28, 2013. Eligible applicants were graduating 

seniors who participated in marksmanship programs 

and JROTC Service Championships, who also 

excelled academically. The CMP awarded over 

$150,000 in Youth Scholarships. 

The discipline and practice of target rifle shooting 

is extremely effective in teaching life skills that 

enhance student performances in schoolwork as well 

as in home, family, social and job-related activities. 

Life skills that are effectively developed through 

marksmanship experiences include: Self-control, 

self-discipline and emotional control; responsibility 

(from being responsible for the safe handling of 

firearms); concentration and attentive skills; goalsetting 

and understanding how to achieve goals; 

fair play, teamwork and leadership; rewards of hard 

work, practice and competition; and self-image 

enhancement. 

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is a national 

organization dedicated to the respect for and safe 

handling of firearms and instilling patriotism and 

discipline in our youth participants. The CMP 

provides its constituents with the highest level of 

instruction in the proper control of firearms by highlyskilled 

coaches and veteran range safety officers in 

the classroom, at our ranges and wherever the CMP 

banner is displayed. 

Notes from VFW Post 

10854 

Our local VFW post puts out flags every Memorial 

Day on the veterans’ graves in South hero, Grand Isle 

and North Hero. It is a duty to make sure that each 

veteran’s grave has a flag holder and a flag to honor 

their service to our country. 

We have noticed, as we have replaced the flags this 

year, that several of the brass markers are missing. 

In one case, the marker had been removed and the 

flag was balled up and stuffed into the dirt next to the 

gravestone. 

Metal: brass, copper, etc., has become a valuable 

commodity to those looking for easy money. We 

would hope that the residents of our three towns 

would be very vigilant and let the sheriff know if they 

see a veteran’s flag holder being removed from our 

cemeteries. 

Also, we are asking for your financial assistance: 

the American flags that line the Fourth of July parade 

route on South Street are in need of replacement and 

many of the holders on the poles must be replaced 

as well. If you can contribute any amount toward 

the flags or their mountings, we will make sure they 

are set in place for our parade. Please make checks 

payable to Grand Isle VFW Post 10854 and mail them 

c/o Michael Guernsey, 273 West Shore Road, South 

Hero, Vermont 05486.


To the Editor: 

Where does one 

begin to tell the 

story of a yet 

another piece 

of real history 

to possibly 

leave the Town 

(and Village) 

of Alburgh. 

The Islands in 

the Sun Senior 

Center was 

built in 1905 as a school house, but 

due to additions/renovations, the 

building is not considered historical 

yet holds fond memories for many local 

residents. The fate of this building is 

currently under much controversy as to 

its possible pending doom. We believe 

the townspeople of Alburgh need to 

understand the real potential of saving 

this wonderful old building as a Senior/ 

Community Center for all to use for 

generations to come. 

We would like to know why the Town 

Select Board decided to not renew the 

lease of the building to the Senior Center, 

saying that it was unsafe, prior to any 

actual inspections of the building. Isn’t 

it interesting that they had the building 

inspected after they did not renew the 

lease? The Senior Center was then told 

they would have to vacate the building 

by 31 May 2013 and that the building 

would then be slated for demolition. 

Since around January of this year, as 

this information began to become public 

knowledge, others became interested 

and asked the Select Board if we could 

obtain additional reports as to the actual 

condition of the building. This would 

determine whether or not it would be 

feasible to try to save it. The reports 

acquired (from further inspections by 

a state of Vermont certified structural 

engineer and a state of Vermont certified 

master electrician) and submitted to 

the Select Board of the Town of Alburgh 

proved that the repairs needed to reopen 

the building for public use would be 

minimal. The Fire Marshall concurred, 

stating that as long as the major points 

were repaired, we could use the building 

and do the remainder of the repairs over 

time. The state of Vermont certified 

professionals estimated the cost of a 

mere four to six thousand to complete the 

initial repairs needed. The Fire Marshall 

would then re-inspect the building. 

The Board of Directors of the Islands in 

the Sun Senior Center has advised the 

Alburgh Board of Selectman that we 

currently have in excess of ten thousand 

dollars in our bank account of which we 

are willing to allocate up to ten thousand 

towards the required repairs to re-open 

the doors as a Senior/Community Center 

for all ages. We could then hold additional 

fundraisers so we could continue to 

achieve the more cosmetic repairs. 

We find it rather curious that the word 

“condemned” was not used in any of the 

inspector’s reports. The Islands in the 

Sun Senior Center Building has never 

been condemned, it merely was advised 

that some essential repairs needed to be 

done. We ask why, in the face of official 

reports that clearly state the building 

can be saved and a room full of people 

eager to renovate the building at no cost 

to the taxpayers of Alburgh, some of the 

Select Board members continue to be 

adamantly calling for its destruction? 

All we are asking is for the truth and the 

opportunity to preserve the building for 

future generations. 

The Alburgh Select Board has indicated 

they will respond with their decisions 

on this matter during their regular 

meeting, 7 pm on Tuesday, June 25 at the 

Municipal Building. Public input would 

be appreciated. Let your voice be heard 

concerning this important resource of 

our community. 

Respectfully, 

JoAnn M. Percy, Treasurer 

Donna Holcomb Larose, Secretary of 

the Islands in the Sun Senior Center 

Board of Directors

THE PEACE GARDEN PROJECT 

The Peace Garden in the MES courtyard is a 

collaborative effort between the students in the 

big buddy/ little buddy mentoring program and 

the MASK program. The project led the student 

gardeners from to planting seeds in March and 

placing the seedling in the raised beds earlier 

this month. At the end of the school year the 

buddies celebrated by making and sharing 

pizzas in honor of their pizza/ salsa garden. 

Each week the buddies demonstrated the PBIS 

skills of respect, responsibility and cooperation 

while having fun. The projects displayed in the 

garden include hand-painted bird houses and 

feeling face clay planters. Each buddy created 

friendship bracelets and nature journals to 

record observations of the natural world. Several 

classes participated in the garden by planting 

the seeds for the sunflower/morning glory house 

and the scarlet runner bean teepee. The classes 

created original poems to display on the hand 

painted signs. 

The school is grateful to Lowe’s and Whole 

Foods for the generous grants to make the project 

possible. Thank you to the Mask program and 

the LEAP summer program for nurturing the 

garden this summer. The produce will be used 

in the delicious lunches served over the summer 

and into the fall. Please enjoy our wonderful 

garden when you stop by.

Neighborhood Meal at Camp Abnaki 

By: Susan Davis 

For the past 111 years, the YMCA Camp Abnaki, located in North Hero, has hosted a “Neighbors Dinner” just 

before the camp opens for the season. 

“We value our relationship with our neighbors and are honored to host this event each year,” said Camp 

Director Jon Kuypers. 

Last Thursday, residents along Abnaki Road and beyond met in the camp’s Turrell Dining Hall to enjoy a 

scrumptious dinner prepared by the camp’s Food Services 

Director, Cecile Albright, who is about to welcome new 

campers for the 24th year in a row. 

“Cecile is amazing,” said Jeremy Plane, Assistant Camp 

Director. “Not only does she provide nutritious and 

wholesome meals for the campers, they’re also really 

good-- complete with her famous homemade bread and 

rolls and her amazing desserts.” 

As the Abnaki staff mingled with the diners, they talked 

about the various programs that the camp has to offer. 

One that was not as familiar as others was the seasonlong 

day camp, which is open to boys ages 6-10. 

“We have some Island boys attending but most come 

from other towns,” said Plane. “We provide a bus that 

picks them up at various locations, including Folsom 

School in South Hero,” he added. The idea of a day camp is 

to provide great experiences for the young boys allowing 

them to try new things and make new friends. There are 

a couple of spots left in the July 1 to 5 Day Camp. For 

more information, contact the camp at 372-9622. 

Open House Sunday June 30 th 1-3pm

on the sought after and scenic West Shore in historic South Hero. The
