2. CAVENDISH RELATED NEWS
Cavendish Baptist Church Dedicates New
Addition: On Sunday, May 18,
a BBQ, cake and a dedication service officially opened the addition to the
Cavendish Baptist Church. This project began almost 20 years ago.
Using local volunteers, all $120,000 needed for the project was also raised in
town. This space, which includes a new bathroom and shower, as well as a full
kitchen, is available for community use. Thanks to the new lift, it means
everyone can easily access the downstairs. The area will also serve as a
shelter for the town in the event of an emergency/disaster. If you are
interested in using the space, call 802-226-7131. Watch the four-
minute video
made by Amanda Gross using Carl Snyder’s photographs documenting the progress
from 2004 to 2014.

Environmental Award Helps to Continue Testing of
Black River at Greven Field: Kelly Stettner, winner of the GMP-Zetterstrom
Environmental Award, says that the prize money is an opportunity to look at purchasing a few things
we've been needing, like a dissecting microscope to look at river
macroinvertebrates, and expand the native nursery in Ludlow! We can also
now financially cover the bacteria testing at the Greven Field swimming hole in
Proctorsville, so swimmers there will have a good sense of the water quality
before they decide to dip a toe.
Transmission Company Seeks Federal Permit for Lake Champlain Power Line: TDI New England, subsidiary of the New
York City-based Blackstone investment firm, has applied for a Presidential
Permit from the U.S. Department of Energy for a 154 mile power line under Lake
Champlain from Canada to Ludlow, VT. If permitted, the New England Clean Power
Link would bring 100 megawatts of Canadian hydropower to New England, the
company says. VPR
Click It or Ticket: Vermont law enforcement and New York State Police are
cracking down on drivers who aren't wearing their seat belts. It kicked off May
19-- just in time for the busy travel season-- and goes through June 1 across
the region. Officials are pulling people over for speeding or other violations,
and then checking to see if they have their seat belts on. Those found without
seat belts will be charged an initial fine of $31, which can increase to $106.
This is in addition to whatever fine you were going to receive for your violation.

Vermont Toll Roads: Because most of VT’s roads were built with
federal funds and not state money, there are no toll roads in the state. This
could change soon because the White House is backing a plan to allow all states
to charge an interstate toll if they want to. Congressman Peter Welch supports
the change. VPR
VT is first State Providing Text to 911: The head of the organization that oversees
Vermont's 911 emergency telephone system says the state is the first in the
country where customers of the four major wireless carriers can send text
messages to 911. Ss of Monday T-Mobile customers in
Vermont are now able to text 911. Verizon, AT&T and Sprint began the
service earlier. WCAX
