ALBURGH -- Alburgh voters were in a positive mood on Town Meeting Day as they approved all ballot items, including the town and school district budgets.

Voters also re-elected School Board members Michael Savage and Mallory Ovitt and agreed 404-200 that the proposed Alburgh Clubhouse, a private non-profit for childcare and pre-school programs, could construct a building next to the town elementary school.
 
Shawn Creller defeated Ryan Savage 280-243 for a two-year seat on the Selectboard.  Matthew LeFleur finished third with 45 votes.

Selectboard member Russell Duchaine, who was appointed to fill a vacancy, easily won a two-year term by outdistancing two other candidates.

Nicholas Palmer was uncontested for a one-year seat on the Selectboard.
  
Constable Ariel Brace lost her bid for re-election to Jarid Creller.  He prevailed 254-216 while George McGrath  finished a distant third with 97.
 
Longtime Delinquent Tax Collector Terry Tatro also won re-election for one year by easily outrunning Shawn Creller 359-230.

Shawn Creller did beat Corrine Russin 327-230 for the one-year post of town grand juror -- a mostly honorary position.

The Islander will have more details in next week's print edition.  The polls were still open Tuesday when the newspaper went to print.

What Our Clients Are Saying

To the Editor,
I have just finished reading (online) this week’s edition of the paper.  I really enjoyed your article and I’m so happy to see you are now able to expand staff and reporting.  
The Islander is such an important part of Grand Isle County and beyond.  
The North Hero I grew up in is very different today and yet very much the same. There might be bigger houses and more emphasis on tourism, but in the end it’s all about community. I have read The Islander since the very first issue.  
 The border remains closed and I am not able to visit my beloved home town, but reading The Islander every week has kept me connected for all these months.  I long for the day I can cross the Rouses Point Bridge and see the sign “Entering Vermont” and then over the bridge from Alburgh and finally see that sign that says “Welcome to North Hero”….Home!
