Ayer  takes  pass  on  majority  leader By  JOHN  FLOWERS ADDISON  COUNTY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Sen.  Claire  Ayer,  D-­Addison,  considered  running  for  Senate  majority  leader  this  year  but  ultimately  decided  against  such  a  move  in  order  to  re-­ main  actively  involved  in  ongoing  health  care  reform  legislation.

Ayer  acknowledged  in  a  recent  Burlington  Free  Press  report  that  she  had  considered  running  for  Sen-­ ate  majority  leader  at  the  Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  leadership  caucus  that  was  held  this  past  Saturday,  Jan.  5.  But  Ayer  con-­ ÂżUPHG RQ 7KXUVGD\ -DQ WKDW VKH had  decided  to  remove  herself  from  consideration  for  the  post  in  view  of Â

her  expected  time  commitments  as  chairwoman  of  the  Senate  Health  and  Welfare  Committee.  That  panel  will  play  a  lead  role  this  biennium  in  helping  Vermont  implement  provi-­ sions  of  the  federal  Affordable  Care  Act  and  put  the  state  on  a  path  to  a  single-­payer  health  care  system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That  was  my  dilemma,â&#x20AC;?  said  Ayer,  the  former  assistant  majority  leader  of  the  Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  ended  up  deciding  that  health  care  was  more  important.â&#x20AC;?

As  the  Addison  Independent  went  to  press,  only  Sen.  Philip  Baruth,  D-­ Chittenden  County,  had  declared  in-­ terest  in  serving  in  the  Senate  major-­

ity  leader  position.  Former  Sen.  Bill  Carris,  D-­Rutland,  most  recently  held  the  job.

Ayer  said  she  hoped  a  senator  â&#x20AC;&#x153;with  experienceâ&#x20AC;?  lands  the  major-­ ity  leader  position.  The  Senate  drew  scrutiny  during  the  last  biennium  for  the  sometimes  discordant  way  in  which  business  was  conducted.  But  ultimately,  Ayer  believes,  it  will  take  many  to  keep  the  Senate  on  track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  going  to  have  to  be  good  bees  together,â&#x20AC;?  Ayer  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keeping  an  organized  and  productive  Senate  is  not  just  one  personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  responsibility.â&#x20AC;?

Addison  school  board  considering  budget  with  4%  drop By  ANDY  KIRKALDY ADDISON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Addison  Cen-­ tral  School  board  will  meet  on  Tues-­ day  and  could  then  adopt  a  budget  proposal  for  the  2013-­2014  school  year  that  would  drop  spending  over  current  levels  by  almost  4  percent.  If  board  members  adopt  the  draft  now  before  them,  they  would  be  cutting  about  $66,600  from  the  cur-­ rent  $1.68  million  budget  to  arrive  at  spending  of  roughly  $1.61  million.  7KH ÂżQDO EXGJHW SURSRVDO ZLOO QHHG WR be  approved  by  voters.

The  proposed  spending  plan  would  continue  to  avoid  the  state  penalties  for  high  per-­pupil  spending  that  had  added  to  some  ACS  budgets  before  the  current  academic  year,  Addison  1RUWKZHVW 6XSHUYLVRU\ 8QLRQ RIÂż-­ cials  said.  ANwSU  Superintendent  Tom Â

The  rapid  pace  of  change

Â

Review  the  Addison  Independentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  top  10  Stories  of  the  Year  and  what  you  realize  is  that  while  many  things  seem  like  they  stay  the  same,  change  is  more  rampant  than  we  realize.  Take  our  number  one  story:  changes  on  the  ag  scene.  The  topic  may  surprise  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  non-­farm  community.  No  particular  headline  would  come  to  mind  for  most  readers,  yet  it  is  a  rapidly  changing  scene.  Congress  stalled  on  the  2012  Farm  Bill  and  dairy  farmers  lost  a  critical  safety  net  when  the  federal  milk  subsidies  program,  known  as  MILC,  expired  on  Sept.  30.  That  failure  left  farmers  exposed  to  price  drops  if  and  when  milk  prices  drop  below  the  cost  of  production.  Thank  a  short-­sighted  House  (led  by  Tea  Party  conservatives)  intent  on  cutting  domestic  spending  regardless  of  the  value  those  programs  deliver.  Dairy  farmers  are  also  in  the  crosshairs  of  activists  pushing  for  a  cleaner  Lake  Champlain,  citing  high  phosphorus  levels  from  cow  manure  (and  lawn  fertilizers)  as  primary  culprits.  State  aid  is  helping,  and  farmers  are  doing  what  they  can,  but  solutions  are  not  inexpensive,  putting  farmers  between  those  proverbial  hard  rocks.

Not  all  ag  news  was  bad.  A  Vermont  working  lands  grant  of  $1  million  hopes  to  jump  start  food,  agriculture  and  forestry  entrepreneurship.  Mean-­ while,  Ferrisburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Kimbrook  Farm  started  its  organic  milk  operation  and  two  new  slaughterhouses  were  proposed  for  the  New  Haven/Middlebury  area.  But  the  declining  farm  numbers  tell  an  indisputable  story  on  the  dairy  scene:  the  state  is  losing  dairy  farms,  even  as  milk  production  is  up.  The  current  num-­ ber  of  dairy  farms  in  Addison  County  is  145,  compared  to   970  in  the  state.  The  number  of  dairy  farms  in  the  state  has  seen  a  steady  decline  since  1991  when  a  .046  percent  increase  was  reported.  But  that  momentary  blip  hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  stemmed  the  tide  of  closures  and  consolidation  over  the  decades,  which,  since  1951,  demonstrate  the  changing  face  of  agriculture:  There  were  10,608  dairy  farms  in  1951;Íž  8,465  in  1961;Íž  4,083  in  1971;Íž  3,356  in  1981;Íž  2,381  in  1991;Íž  1,565  in  2001;Íž  and  984  in  2011.

The  dollars  from  those  farms  are  still  strong,  and  milk  production  is  up,  but  there  are  not  nearly  as  many  farm  families  working  the  land  as  there  used  to  be  and  that  shows  up  in  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  demographics  in  numerous  ways.

On  the  business  scene,  the  language-­based  start-­up  eCorp  English  in  Mid-­ dlebury  closed  its  doors  after  a  two-­year  struggle,  and  RetailVision,  a  maga-­ zine  sales  promotion  company,  shut  down  with  a  loss  of  25  local  jobs  after  years  of  declining  sales.  Good  news  came  from  Vermont  Hard  Cider  Compa-­ ny,  maker  of  Woodchuck  Hard  Cider,  when  it  was  purchased  by  an  Irish  cidery  and  announced  it  would  proceed  with  plans  to  build  a  new  $30  million  facility  in  town  that  would  more  than  double  its  production  capacity  and  continue  to  add  jobs  to  its  current  workforce  of  125.  Vergennes-­based  Goodrich  Corp.  was  bought  by  United  Technologies  Company  with  a  promise  to  work  on  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;busi-­ ness  as  usualâ&#x20AC;?  basis  with  its  850  employees.  Bristol  Works  made  great  strides  with  its  long-­range  plans  in  that  community,  and  in  Middlebury  the  town  ap-­ propriated  money  to  hire  an  economic  development  director  to  help  jump-­start  a  number  of  promising  activities  and  ideas.  Adding  to  the  business  news,  the  proposed  advancement  of  a  natural  gas  pipeline  into  Vergennes,  Middlebury  and  the  Route  7  corridor  through  Addi-­ son  County  (as  well  as  a  spur  to  Ticonderoga)  will  mean  lower  prices  on  fuel  for  major  users  like  Middlebury  College,  Agri-­Mark,  Woodchuck  Cider,  and  many  other  businesses  in  town,  as  well  as  residents.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  good  news  to  help  recruit  businesses  and  industry,  as  well  as  residents  seeking  lower  fuel  bills.  Public  transportation  also  got  a  boost  with  news  that  the  state  has  committed  to  a  western  rail  corridor  project  that  would  put  higher-­speed  passenger  train  service  from  Burlington  to  Rutland  and  on  to  Albany,  N.Y.  in  the  near  future  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  perhaps  by  2014.

Less  grandiose  events,  issues  and  developments,  of  course,  are  part  of  the  every-­changing  world  around  us  as  illustrated  by  a  review  of  our  top  online  stories  as  gauged  by  reader  interest.  Those  stories  ran  the  gamut  from  the  EEE  scare  in  southern  Addison  County  to  crime  stories,  the  loss  of  local  leaders,  robots  that  act  like  humans,  and  rural  phone  calls  that  are  dropped  too  often.  All  that,  just  as  you  were  thinking  â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothing  ever  happens  in  my  small  town.â&#x20AC;?  It  does.  Read,  remember  and  get  involved  in  your  community  to  become  part  of  the  ongoing  change.

Letters to the Editor Proposed  water  quality  rules  need  to  be  strengthened High-­quality  water  is  Ver-­ montâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  premier  forest  product.  The  Vermont  Department  of  Forests,  Parks  and  Recreation  has  recently  completed  a  review  of  its  approved  management  practices  for  maintain-­ ing  water  quality  on  logging  opera-­ tions  and  has  published  draft  AMP  (acceptable  management  practices)  revisions  that  will  be  presented  to  the  Legislature  in  January  2013.  The  revisions  warrant  very  careful  review.

The  Clean  Water  Act  (CWA)  of  1972  was  designed  to  clean  up  this  nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  waters.  The  idea  was  to Â

bring  back  clean,  clear,  cold,  highly  oxygenated  waters  to  the  maximum  practical  extent.  The  CWA  required  developers  to  go  through  an  exten-­ sive  process  to  obtain  a  discharge  permit.  For  a  variety  of  reasons,  forest  management  operations  did  not  have  to  obtain  a  permit  as  long  as  the  forest  access  networks  were  designed,  constructed,  maintained  and  closed  according  to  state-­ adopted  best  management  practices  (BMPs).

In  1987  Vermont  adopted  what  were  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Acceptable  Manage-­ ment  Practicesâ&#x20AC;?  (AMPs)  that  would Â

serve  as  the  recommended  ingredi-­ ents  for  the  management  of  roads,  skid  trails,  log  landings,  stream  crossings,  and  riparian  zones.  Ver-­ mont  adopted  24  practices  to  guide  forest  access  network  steepness,  surface  erosion  control  structure  types  and  installation  frequency,  buffer  distances  and  stream  crossing  methods.

If  properly  used  in  a  well-­ designed  access  system,  sound  research  had  demonstrated  that  the  AMPs  would  protect  water  qual-­ ity  in  managed  forests  even  in  the  (See  Letter,  Page  5)

Letter (Continued  from  Page  4) event  of  disruptive  storm  events.  Therefore,  it  was  reasonable  to  assume  that  if  the  approved  AMPs  were  used  fully  and  well  then  no  discharge  permit  would  be  re-­ quired  to  protect  water  quality  in  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  working  forests.

Though  the  practices  were  ef-­ fective,  the  Legislature  recognized  that  the  AMPs  were  very  costly  to  build  and  to  maintain.  They  also  recognized  the  high  level  of  vari-­ ability  in  harvesting  sites,  extent  and  equipment.  To  give  landown-­ ers  leeway,  the  law  stated  that  full  compliance  with  the  recom-­ mended  practices  was  not  required  as  long  as  the  discharge  of  waste  into  the  waters  of  the  state  was  avoided.

In  other  words,  landowners  could  employ  their  own  methods  for  maintaining  water  quality  on  logging  operations  or  even  MXVW FURVV WKHLU ÂżQJHUV DQG KRSH However  if  their  practices  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  or  FURVVHG ÂżQJHUV ² IDLOHG WR SUH-­ vent  stream  sedimentation,  woody  debris  discharges  or  elevated  stream  temperatures,  the  landown-­ ers  would  be  responsible  for  the  water  pollution  they  created.

This  approach  had  and  still  has  D IDLUO\ VLJQL¿FDQW GUDZEDFN LQ that  it  places  the  burden  of  proof  squarely  on  the  public  to  prove  that  its  waters  have  been  polluted.  Identifying  severely  eroded  access  networks  was  not  enough.  Actual  stream  sedimentation,  woody  debris  deposition,  or  temperature  elevation  resulting  directly  from  the  timber  harvesting  had  to  be  documented.

Being  that  most  water  pollution  resulting  from  timber  harvesting  can  be  attributed  to  storm  events,  the  detection  of  actual  water  pol-­ lution  based  on  citizen  complaints  is  not  particularly  effective.  More  monitoring  of  compliance  and/or  water  quality  impacts  is  needed.  Also,  though  many  of  the  AMPs  ZHUH TXLWH VSHFL¿F VRPH RI WKH AMPs  had  language  that  could  be  interpreted  in  a  variety  of  ways.  This  made  establishing  the  cases  of  discharge  and  failure  to  comply  fully  with  the  AMPs  very  chal-­ lenging.

In  April  of  2012  Vermont  Fam-­ ily  Forests  proposed  a  variety  of  ways  to  address  the  shortcom-­ ings  of  the  AMPs  as  seen  from  the  publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  perspective.  These  recommendations  were  based  on  the  assumption  that  the  people  of  the  state  of  Vermont  wanted  to  successfully  limit  water  pollution  from  timber  harvesting  operations  even  during  periodic  storm  events.  VFFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  recommendations  included: Â&#x2021; 5HGXFLQJ YDJXH DQG FRQIXV-­ ing  language  in  the  AMPs;Íž Â&#x2021; $YRLGLQJ ULVN\ SUDFWLFHV VXFK as  brushed  fords;Íž Â&#x2021; 'HYHORSLQJ FRQVLVWHQW FRP-­ pliance  assessment  protocols;Íž Â&#x2021; 'HYHORSLQJ *,6 WRROV WKDW would  assist  landowners  to  iden-­ tify  and  avoid  sensitive  areas  such  as  steep  slopes,  shallow  soils  and  riparian  zones;Íž  and Â&#x2021; $GRSWLQJ &RQGLWLRQDO 0DQ-­ agement  Practices  (CMPs)  and  Optional  Conservation  Strategies  (OCSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s)  that  would  give  landown-­ ers  even  more  options.

Bristol,  Middlebury  pass  town  plans Bristol  and  Middlebury  passed  hotly  debated  town  plans  in  2012,  each  one  stalling  at  times  over  issues  of  development  and,  in  Bristolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  case,  resource  ex-­ traction.  Town  plans  are  visionary  documents  in  Vermont,  charting  a  municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  priorities  on  en-­ ergy,  housing,  transportation  and  resource  steward-­ ship,  and  are  also  the  basis  on  which  zoning  rules  are  written.  Town  plans  are  typically  updated  HYHU\ ÂżYH \HDUV Bristolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  plan  passed  with  nearly  70  percent  of  the  vote  on  Election  Day  after  an  unusually  lengthy  eight-­ year  period  of  debate  and  compromise.  Bris-­ tolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  bounty  of  gravel  resources  turned  out  to  be  somewhat  a  bur-­ den  to  the  town  plan,  which  found  itself  entwined  in  disagree-­ ments  over  proposed  gravel  extraction  projects  in  town.  Some  citizens,  no-­ tably  the  environmentally  in-­ clined  group  Smart  Growth  for  Bristol,  opposed  drafts  of  the  town  plan  that  would  have  allowed  gravel  extrac-­ tion  near  Bristol  village.  Proponents  of  those  opera-­ tions  cited  opportunities  for  economic  growth,  as  well  as  personal  property  rights.

After  a  version  of  the  plan  was  soundly  defeated Â

N

in  2010,  the  Bristol  Planning  Commission  went  back  to  the  drawing  board  and  in  2012,  with  leadership  from  planners  Kris  Perlee  and  John  Elder,  was  able  to  broker  a  compromise.  A  single  no-­extraction  zone  was  drawn  up,  preventing  resource  extraction  in  the  downtown  and  surrounding  areas  while  allowing  for  economic  development  opportunities  in  areas  north  and  south  of  the  village.

In  Middlebury,  a  debate  ensued  after  the  planning  commission  produced  a  draft  of  the  town  plan  with  a  50,000-­square-­ foot  cap  on  future  retail  establish-­ ments.  The  selectboard  balked  at  the  cap;Íž  some  noted  that  the  absence  of  a  department  store  since  the  closing  of  Ames  over  a  decade  ago  meant  Middle-­ bury  residents  took  some  of  their  shopping  out  of  town.  Those  who  favored  the  size  cap  countered  that  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;big-­boxâ&#x20AC;?  store  would  take  business  away  from  downtown  retailers  and  change  the  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  character.  At  several  well-­attended  public  meetings,  it  be-­ came  clear  that  all  parties  were  divided  over  how  best  to  keep  spending  local.  The  se-­ lectboard  adopted  the  town  plan  without  a  retail  cap  in  early  December,  noting  that  the  50,000-­square-­ foot  cap  already  existed  in  town  zoning  ordinances,  which  they  said  was  an  adequate  protection.

The  decennial  reapportionment  of  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  legis-­ lative  districts  brought  an  interesting  change  in  Addi-­ son  Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  two-­seat  senatorial  district  in  the  spring,  but  that  change  did  not  fuel  much  intrigue  for  the  No-­ vember  elections  that  were  to  come.

Reapportionment  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  done  every  10  years  to  ensure  OHJLVODWLYH GLVWULFWV UHĂ&#x20AC;HFW WKH &RQVWLWXWLRQDO VWDQGDUG of  one  person,  one  vote  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  resulted  in  re-­drawn  House  and  Senate  maps.  A  special  committee,  which  included  for-­ mer  Democratic  Sen.  Gerry  Gossens  of  Salisbury,  rec-­ ommended  no  changes  to  Addison  Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  House  districts.  But  it  produced  a  Senate  map  that  initially  suggested  the  Addison  County  senatorial  district  shed  the  town  of  Brandon  to  the  south  and  instead  absorb  Charlotte  to  the  north.  Charlotte  residents  opposed  the  move,  which  was  taken  off  the  table  in  place  of  a  new  scenario  that  eventually  won  bipartisan  approv-­ al:  Swapping  Brandon  instead  for  the  communities  of  Huntington  and  Buelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Gore.

It  is  a  swap  that  did  not  generate  widespread  op-­ position  from  the  affected  communities.  Some  Hun-­ WLQJWRQ RI¿FLDOV LQ IDFW VDLG WKH FKDQJH PLJKW UHVXOW in  their  community  getting  better  representation  in  the  Senate  than  they  had  been  getting  from  the  Chittenden  County  delegation.

Political  observers  noted  the  newly  constituted Â

That  shift  in  demographics  apparently  resonated  with  prospective  Republican  candidates  during  the  ensuing  months,  as  not  one  GOP  hopeful  would  ¿OH SDSHUV WR UXQ IRU WKH FRXQW\œV WZR VWDWH Senate  seats.  That  was  even  more  sur-­ prising  in  light  of  an  open  seat;͞  in-­ cumbent  Sen.  Harold  Giard,  D-­ Bridport,  had  announced  he  would  not  seek  re-­election.

Indeed,  there  werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  a  lot  RI ÂżUHZRUNV RQ HOHFWLRQ QLJKW in  Addison  County.  All  of  the  incumbent  Addison  County  lawmakers  on  the  ballot  won  re-­election,  most  of  them  Dem-­ ocrats  who  ran  unopposed.  The  county  did  add  one  new-­but-­famil-­ iar  face  to  its  legislative  delegation:  New  Haven  Democrat  Chris  Bray,  who  won  election  to  the  state  Senate.  Bray  had  previously  represented  the  Addison-­5  House  district  for  four  years.  He  joins  longtime  incumbent  Democratic  Sen.  Claire  Ayer  of  Addison  in  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  highest  chamber. $PRQJ WKRVH UHWXUQHG WR RIÂżFH IROORZLQJ D ZLQ against  Salisbury  independent  Tim  Ryan,  was  Rep.  Willem  Jewett.  In  December,  Jewett,  a  Ripton  Demo-­ crat,  ran  successfully  for  the  post  of  House  majority  leader.

Addison  County  in  2012  bade  farewell  to  two  well-­ respected,  veteran  public  servants  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  one  following  ill-­ ness,  the  other  very  unexpectedly  after  a  tragic  accident  on  Route  7.

Addison  County  Sheriff  Jim  Coons  died  in  April  at  age  59  after  a  battle  with  cancer.  He  had  spent  almost  four  decades  in  local  law  enforcement,  including  30  years  as  sheriff.  Hundreds  of  people  packed  Middlebury  Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Mead  Chapel  to  give  Coons  a  moving  send-­off.  Among  those  present  were  former  police  colleagues,  ¿UHÂżJKWHUV HPHUJHQF\ UH-­ sponders,  past  and  present  judges,  state  and  municipal  RIÂżFLDOV DQG D ORW RI UHJX-­ lar  folks,  some  of  whom  had  broken  from  a  criminal  past  thanks  to  Coonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  guid-­ ance.

Coons  was  remembered  as  a  dedicated  leader  who  would  go  out  of  his  way  to  assist  others.  He  was  also  credited  with  having  dramatically  transformed  the  Addison  County  Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Department,  both  physi-­ cally  and  bureaucratically,  since  taking  its  helm  in  1982.

Addison  County  High  Bailiff  Don  Keeler  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  him-­ self  a  40-­year  veteran  of  the  sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  department  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  was  picked  by  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  to  serve  out  Coonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  term.  Keeler  quickly  immersed  himself  in  the  rigors  of  job  while  dealing  with  the  major  task  of  closing  of  the  county  jail  following  the  expiration  of  a  federal  contract.

Nov.  30  proved  a  very  dark  day  at  Mount  Abra-­ ham  Union  High  School,  the  Vermont  Statehouse  and  in  the  city  of  Vergennes.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  day  when Â

veteran  teacher  and  state  Rep.  Greg  Clark,  a  Republican  rep-­ resenting  Vergennes,  died  after  being  struck  by  a  car  while  clearing  his  icy  windshield  at  the  side  of  Route  7  in  Waltham.

Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  death  at  age  65  touched  many  people  of  many  age  groups  and  walks  of  life.

For  almost  two  decades,  Clark  had  taught  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Age  of  Legalityâ&#x20AC;?  class  at  Mount  Abraham,  where  he  was  recalled  as  a  warm-­hearted  educator,  always  quick  with  a  smile  and  a  playful  nick-­ name  to  assign  to  his  young  charges.  More  than  600  students,  teachers  and  friends  packed  the  Mount  Abe  audi-­ torium  on  the  day  of  his  funeral  to  pay  tribute  to  their  beloved  teach-­ er.  A  similar  outpouring  came  at  Vergennes  Union  High  School,  where  Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  wife,  Eileen,  has  long  worked.

Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  death  also  stunned  people  at  the  Statehouse,  where  Clark  had  represented  the  Addi-­ son-­3  House  district  for  a  decade.  Legislative  colleagues  remembered  Clark,  who  served  on  the  House  Educa-­ tion  Committee,  as  a  hard  working  lawmaker  who  could  always  deliver  a  quip  that  could  break  WKH WHQVLRQ RI DQ DFULPRQLRXV Ă&#x20AC;RRU GHEDWH The  Vergennes  community  also  mourned  Clark  for  his  contributions  on  the  city  council,  as  past  deputy  major,  and  at  his  local  church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greg  elevated  the  moment,  and  those  moments  are  what  we  should  be  living  in,â&#x20AC;?  said  the  Rev.  Gary  Lewis,  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  of  Vergennes,  in  eulogizing  Clark.

Vergennes-­area  Republicans  are  expected  to  soon  forward  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  the  names  of  candidates  interested  in  ¿OOLQJ RXW WKH WZR \HDU WHUP WKDW &ODUN ZRQ LQ WKH 1RYHPEHU elections.

City  resolves  crèche  display  policy In  an  decision  that  required  the  Vergennes  City  Council  to  navigate  the  tricky  wider  questions  of  free  speech,  religious  freedom  and  the  separation  of  church  and  state,  aldermen  in  July  adopted  a  new  pol-­ icy  that  allowed  groups  to  install  religious  and  other  displays  on  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  central  downtown  green.

Aldermen  created  that  policy  after  a  citizen  com-­ plained  about  the  popular  Christian  nativity  scene  that  has  been  displayed  on  the  green  for  decades  with  tacit  city  approval.

The  crèche  was  not  stored  on  city  property  or  main-­ tained  or  erected  by  Ver-­ gennes  personnel,  but  the  city  retained  a  small  fund  to  help  pay  to  maintain  it.  That  fund  was  cleared  from  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  books  this  past  summer.  Vergennes  aldermen  ad-­ opted  their  new  policy  af-­ ter  a  four-­month  process  that  included  a  number  of  drafts;Íž  a  public  forum  attended  by  about  140  area  residents,  most  of  whom  wanted  to  preserve  that  crèche;Íž  residents  VHQGLQJ D Ă&#x20AC;RRG RI HPDLOV WR FLW\ RIÂżFLDOV RU SXOOLQJ them  aside  for  informal  chats;Íž  social  media  posts,  and  letters  to  the  Independent;Íž  and  extensive  research  by  aldermen  into  the  legal  issues  and  precedents  estab-­ lished  elsewhere.

It’s against the law to discriminate when advertising housing related activities.

Particularly on sites like Craigslist.

And it’s easier to break the law than you might think. You can’t say “no children” or “adults only.”

There is lots you can’t say. The federal government is watching for such discrimination.

FREE WORKSHOP – January 17 – You’re Invited!

Do you do work on renovation or demolition projects where lead or asbestos may be present?

Would you like to know more about best management practices for handling these materials in construction and demolition debris?

A FREE workshop on January 17 will answer these and many more questions about the management of lead and asbestos in renovation and demolition projects.

WHO: This workshop is for contractors, waste haulers, construction project supervisors and municipal (public works) managers.

WHAT: FREE Workshop on Lead and Asbestos WHERE: American Legion Post 27, 10 Boardman Street, Middlebury, VT. (behind G. Stone Motors) WHEN: Thursday, January 17, 2013, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM (snow date of January 24).

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION This two hour training event will focus on portions of Vermont’s asbestos and solid waste disposal regulations. Sponsored by the Solid Waste District, Vermont Department of Health’s Asbestos and Lead Regulatory Program and the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation Solid Waste Management Program, the workshop will discuss how Vermont’s lead and asbestos regulations apply to you and your business. A variety of issues will be covered, including best management practices for handling construction and demolition debris, and how to keep asbestos and other hazardous materials out of the waste stream.

In addition to the presentations, there will be time allowed for questions from workshop attendees.

The Dairy Securities Act would KDYH DPHQGHG D PDVVLYH ÀDZ LQ the current supply-­demand system in which a small overproduction of milk triggers a tenfold drop in milk prices. In that situation, many farm-­ ers have no choice but to continue to overproduce in order to keep up with falling prices, which aggravates the supply-­demand system even more.

That draft of the farm bill died in the House when Congress adjourned be-­ fore the General Election.

“I’m quite disappointed with the process,” Audet said.

Of last week’s legislative mea-­ sures, she added: “At least MILC is in there. It’s a Band-­Aid but it’s something that can keep a lot of farms going, through some really hard times.”
