Motivated by a dedication to the children of Hinesburg and to the education profession, these teachers, with the cooperation of the rest of the staff, have gone beyond what is normally expected of regular staff members to make these programs possible. i 71 I IG3 i'i I I VJ fZf' 1 1 (P- I OLjlT 'If -VZ lTlJ 1 1 I "1 ,1 1 Lir 'I-j-- A 7 vj HINESBURG The Hinesburg Central School has four additions to its program.

Teachers at the school have recognized some needs and have decided to do something about them. A physical education program began this week. It is a basic program under the supervision of Robert Nicolino. The program is expected to include team and individual exercises, sports and games. Nicolino is the mathematics teacher for grades six, seven, and eight.

He is also the coach of the soccer, basketball, and baseball teams. Mrs. Margaret Morse, sixth, Barre, Orange further additions to the checklist. Montpelier is closing theirs next week," Olliver added for emphasis. OUiver'i comments followed the vote to have one more meeting.

Abare, the BCA chairman, suggested the vote be reconsidered. "It is an impossible situation for our clerk," Abare argued. Olliver and Abare are Republicans. Olliver offered some statistics to snow that few people come to BCA meetings to be registered. He pointed out only S9 persons were signed up in person at the three meetings held sine the primary.

"On the other hand," Olliver recalled, "there were 87 written applications. You could have a meeting every night between now and Nov. 5 and I can guarantee you'd still have people wanting to get on the checklist on the very day of the election," Olliver claimed. I seventh and eighth grade science teacher, has offered her services and special talents so that the Hinesburg children will be exposed to a basic program in art Mrs. Morse has planned the program to include drawing and painting, work with charcoal and chalk, mobiles, sculpture and other media.

Hinesburg has two vocal music teachers, Mrs. Judith Patterson and Raymond Toms. Each teacher is in Hinesburg once a week. Mrs. Patterson teaches about 200 students in grades 1-4, while Toms has a similar number in grades 5-8.

Mrs. Patterson is organizing an Officials Hold at the last town meeting. "They tripled our valuation because they needed more money," Fisher reported. He contends increased assessments must be substantiated by facts and can't be geared solely to a need for more revenue. Both Fisher and Duff said they hope the disagreement can be settled without taking the case into court.

Fisher, City Manager Thomas E. Duff and Alderman Alan H. Noyes went to Orange Wednesday night and met with the selectmen. City officials were rocked a couple of weeks ago when they learned the town had hiked taxes on the Thurman W. Dix Reservoir and its spacious watershed by $8,000.

The $20,197.78 bill was paid under protest. They argued the increase was not only unreasonable but illegal, because the tax was jacked up without notice so the city was unable to register a protest during the town's grievance hearings for property owners. Fisher reported Thursday the meeting was friendly and the selectmen agree the property list the city received from the town listers was not a proper notice because it failed to show the increase and provide a timely warning. Fisher reported town officials will contact Duff about the next step after they have checked out the legal technicalities with an attorney. "They want to give us a grievance hearing if they possibly can," said the mayor.

Fisher said another legal question to be researched concerns a 75 per cent penalty assessed against the city because "nobody can build on the city property." Fisher also said the valuation on the city property appears to have been arbitrarily increased because the town budget had been enlarged about 50 per cent i Win! BARRE Meetings of the Board of Civil Authority are usually demure but city haU rang with loud voices Wednesday night when the BCA met for a supposed late meeting to sign up voters for the Nov. 5 election. The loudest tones were those of City Clerk Ralph Olliver who registered a firm protest to the BCA's decision to meet again at 11 a.m. Nov. 2 for last minute voter registrations.

Olliver noted the Burlington 1 BCA is closing the Queen City checklist this week. "The clerks up there," said Olliver, "say they can't handle it unless they have at least two weeks without Franklin Students End Fund Drive FRANKLIN The Magazine Drive of 1968 ended with a total of $679.72.

He charged a majority ot tne people the Democrats persuade to register are really not interested in voting. He said when the BCA met on the Saturday before the primary, 44 showed up and registered. "Less than half of them voted," Olliver stressed. He said be scrutinized the checklist after the primary and discovered that only 21 of the last minute registrants bothered to vote.

"If people wanted to vote I'd hold it (the checklist) open until the last minute," Olliver declared. Percy G. Angwin, another Democratic BCA member, was impressed with OUiver's statistics. "I find that percentage very good," he remarked. Alderman Armand J.

Valsangiacomo repeated his suggestion of two years ago tt change the charter to authorize an election board with a paid clerk. Voters in the city election that year overwhelmingly defeated several charter changes proposed by former Mayor Garth W. Blow.

One of the changes would have set up the election board to handle all preparations for elections. "I'd still like to see an election board in this city. The present system is ridiculous," said Valsangiacomo. Craftsbury Pupils I UKc field I MpS CRAFTSBURY The pupils of the Middle School, with their teachers, Mrs. Mary Brown and Mrs.
