A  fracked  gas  pipeline  across  this?

So  we  can  rely  on  this?

Is  Vermont  moving  forward,  building  a  legacy  of  clean  energy  for  our  children  and  grandchildren? Or  backward,  into  a  dirty,  fossil-­fuel-­driven  past? The  pipeline  proposed  by  Gaz  Metro/Vermont  Gas  will  carry  fracked  gas.  Vermont  banned  fracking  because  it: -­  Pollutes  billions  of  gallons  of  water  every  year -­  Puts  drinking  water  and  human  health  at  risk -­  Is  responsible  for  dangerous  and  increasing  levels  of  global  warming  pollution Vermont  made  the  right  decision.  Fracking  is  wrong,  and  unsustainable.  Vermonters  have  rejected  fracking  in  our  state.  Building  a  pipeline  to  bring  fracked  gas  into  Addison  County  is  a  move  backward,  in  the  wrong  direction.

We,  the  people,  say  NO  to  the  fracked  gas  pipeline. Concerned  Citizens  from  Vermont:  Addison,  Middlebury,  Cornwall,  Orwell,  Shoreham,  Leicester,  Salisbury,  Ripton,  Bristol,  Hinesburg,  Monkton,  Charlotte,  Colchester,  Williston,  Whiting,  and  Brandon.

School  test  scores  â€”  and  what  we  should  do  with  them By  William  J.  Mathis With  a  fervor  usually  reserved  for  the  list  of  delinquent  taxpayers,  the  annual  release  of  state  test  scores  excites  a  focus  on  schools  that  â€œfailedâ€?  to  make  adequate  yearly  progress.  As  important  as  these  test  scores,  this  super-­ ÂżFLDO LQVSHFWLRQ RI WKH QXPEHU RI VWXGHQWV SDVVLQJ D KLJK \HW DUELWUDU\ WHVW cut-­off  is  not  a  very  helpful  picture  of  our  schools.  Nor  does  it  tell  us  what  needs  to  be  done. How  is  Vermont  really  doing? We  are  tied  for  second  place  in  the  nation  on  eighth-­grade  math  scores  and  are  fourth  highest  in  fourth  grade.  Both  the  state  and  the  nation  have  steadily  improved  since  1996  and  Vermont  has  maintained  its  lead.  If  Vermont  were  an  independent  nation,  we  would  tie  for  sixth  and  seventh  on  math  and  sci-­ ence  â€”  in  the  world.

Contrary  to  the  often-­heard  myth  about  â€œfailingâ€?  schools,  every  ethnic  group,  as  well  as  students  in  poverty,  have  registered  continuous  and  posi-­ tive  growth  over  the  past  30  years.  Yet,  the  much-­maligned  No  Child  Left  Behind  law  requires  states  to  report  test  scores  in  terms  of  â€œadequate  yearly  progressâ€?  which  requires  all  students  to  meet  very  high  standards  by  next  year.  Observers  from  every  perspective  scoff  at  this  unrealistic  system.  The  harm  in  this  inherently  negative  approach  is  that  it  hides  the  huge  progress  that  has  been  made  and  wrongly  declares  success  to  be  a  failure. Yet,  the  good  news  must  not  let  us  ignore  the  national  and  state  achieve-­ ment  gap.  But  the  nature  of  the  gap  is  shifting.  It  is  increasingly  becoming  a  wealth  gap  â€”  which  is  40  percent  larger  than  it  was  30  years  ago.  The  ethnic  gap  still  remains  but  the  wealth  gap  is  twice  as  large.  (To  be  sure,  there  is  a  large  connection  between  wealth  and  ethnic  identity.)  Following  the  national  pattern,  Vermont’s  wealth  gap  is  greater  than  the  African  American  gap.  Un-­ fortunately,  our  wealth  gap  increases  across  the  grade  levels  in  a  consistent  and  unchanging  pattern. $V 6WDQIRUG 3URIHVVRU 6HDQ 5HDUGRQ SRLQWV RXW PRUH DIĂ€XHQW VWXGHQWV have  far  richer  preschool  years  and  these  effects  carry  forward  through  the  school  years.  Further,  the  advantaged  parents  are  able  to  spend  more  time  with  their  children,  provide  more  activities,  read  â€œGoodnight,  Moonâ€?  to  their  children,  send  the  kids  to  summer  camps,  and  be  the  soccer,  museum  and  music  chauffeur. $ODQ .UXHJHU FKDLU RI WKH &RXQFLO RI (FRQRPLF $GYLVHUV DQG 3ULQFHWRQ professor,  notes  the  rapid  increase  in  children’s  enrichment  activities  for  the  DIĂ€XHQW ZKLOH WKH ORZHVW HDUQLQJ SDUHQWV KDYH RQO\ EHHQ DEOH WR PLQLPDOO\ improve  their  child  support  activities.  The  hollowing  out  of  the  middle  class  and  the  increasing  economic  inequalities  has  a  direct  effect  on  the  quantity  and  quality  of  parenting  time  and  thus,  achievement  scores.  Schools  are  not  RQO\ WKH SDWK WR HFRQRPLF PRELOLW\ 7KH\ DUH DOVR D UHĂ€HFWLRQ RI DQG DUH highly  affected  by  these  economic  and  social  policies. Visitors  to  schools  in  the  nation’s  neediest  rural  and  urban  areas  would  be  hard  pressed  to  claim  that  the  educational  opportunities  we  provide  are  equal  or  even  adequate.  Despite  our  embrace  of  the  â€œAmerican  Dream,â€?  Nobel  laureate  Joseph  Stiglitz  tells  us  that  we  now  have  less  equality  of  opportunity  and  less  social  mobility  than  almost  any  other  advanced  industrial  country.  Tax,  social  and  educational  policies  have  combined  to  make  the  gaps  greater  and  mobility  less.  Without  closing  the  educational  opportunity  gap,  we  can-­ not  expect  to  close  the  achievement  gap. Thus,  test-­taking  combined  with  sanctioning  schools  will  not  have  broad  and  sustained  success  by  itself.  While  schools  must  continuously  improve,  a  combination  of  approaches  is  needed  if  we  are  to  have  good  schools  and  an  equitable  and  democratic  society.  Among  the  key  strategies: ‡ 7D[ UHIRUP DQG HFRQRPLF HTXDOLW\ DUH HVVHQWLDO IRU HGXFDWLRQDO UHIRUP (FRQRPLF LQHTXDOLWLHV WKUHDWHQ WR GHVWDELOL]H VRFLHW\ DQG WKZDUW VRFLDO PR-­ bility.  This  is  disempowering  to  students  and  their  aspirations. ‡ :H FDQ EH SURXG WKDW 9HUPRQW HQMR\V DUJXDEO\ WKH PRVW HTXLWDEOH IXQG-­ LQJ V\VWHP LQ WKH QDWLRQ <HW PRUH DIĂ€XHQW FRPPXQLWLHV VSHQG PRUH DQG VFRUH KLJKHU WKDQ OHVV DIĂ€XHQW FRPPXQLWLHV 7KLV ÂżVFDO LQHTXLW\ LV GXH LQ SDUW WR WKH Ă€DW WD[ QDWXUH RI WKH LQFRPH VHQVLWLYLW\ PHFKDQLVP DQG XQEDO-­ anced  funding  for  special  needs. ‡ 3URYLGH XQLYHUVDO SUHVFKRRO DQG H[WHQGHG VFKRRO GD\V DQG VFKRRO \HDUV These  are  among  the  most  powerful  proven  tools  for  closing  the  achievement  gap. ‡ ([SDQG WXWRULQJ DQG FODVV VL]H UHGXFWLRQ SROLFLHV 7KHVH DUH SURYHQ SRO-­ icy  mechanisms,  especially  in  the  early  grades.  Improve  teacher  capabilities  through  re-­tooled  professional  development.

If  you  do  some  dangerous  activity,  from  boating  to  cliff  climbing  to  hang  gliding,  consider  rescue  problems. A  recent  cave  rescue  points  out  the  serious  problems  people  can  get  into  when  they  are  not  careful. Ask  yourself  how  someone  is  going  to  get  you  out  of  a  cave  if  you  fall  and  break  something. Be  concerned  if  the  top  of  the  40-­foot  drop  is  very  narrow  and  you  EDUHO\ ÂżW WKURXJK How  will  rescue  people  get  you  out  after  they  have  packaged  you  to  immobilize  the  injuries  to  save  your  broken  leg?

The  rescued  person  did  not  use  URSHV LQ WKLV KLJK VOLSSHU\ GLIÂżFXOW place.  Using  a  rope  correctly  would  have  kept  parts  from  breaking.

The  National  Speleological  Society  has  recently  published  its  new  review  of  caving  accidents  of  North  America. It  seems  that  people  are  learning  how  to  cave  more  safely  than  in  the  past,  as  they  join  groups  and  learn  to  protect  themselves. In  other  sports,  like  hang  glid-­ ing  or  swimming  or  biking,  it  is  not  as  hard  to  get  to  the  patient  and  remove  the  patient  from  the  scene. In  caving  there  maybe  many  feet  of  solid  rock  with  very  tiny  holes  in  the  way  of  getting  to  the  victim. Remember  cave  rescue  people  may  not  be  able  to  get  you  out  for  hours  or  days.  With  a  broken  pelvis,  delay  can  be  fatal.  And  if  a  rock  falls  on  an  uncovered  head  or  you  fall  on  your  head  you  won’t  have  to  wait  to  bleed  to  death  internally  for  a  fatality. Don’t  make  your  trip  for  adven-­ ture  a  body  removal.  Cave  rescuers  practice  and  plan  but  don’t  want  to  actually  use  their  skills.

Midd.  train  tunnel  project  hits  money  wall Feds  OK  upgrade  idea,  but  $1.5M  in funding  still  lacking By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  â€”  The  town  of  Middlebury  will  probably  have  WR ÂżQG PLOOLRQ WR EULGJH WKH funding  gap  between  its  preferred  option  of  using  a  tunnel  to  replace  two  deteriorating  downtown  rail-­ road  spans,  versus  what  the  Federal  Highway  Administration  (FHWA)  is  willing  to  invest  in  such  a  project. That’s  the  latest  word  from  Vermont  Agency  of  Transportation  97UDQV RIÂżFLDOV ZKR UHFHQWO\ met  with  their  FHWA  counterparts  to  discuss  the  upcoming  replace-­ ment  of  Middlebury’s  railroad  overpasses  on  Merchants  Row  and  Main  Street. Middlebury,  with  the  assistance  RI WKH HQJLQHHULQJ ÂżUP RI 9DQDVVH Hangen  Brustlin,  Inc.,  has  spent  the  last  several  months  consider-­ ing  replacement  options  for  the  two  heavily  traveled  spans. Â

After  a  lot  of  public  feedback,  a  preferred  option  rose  to  the  top  of  the  list:  Replacing  the  bridges  with  a  concrete  tunnel  that  would  allow  enough  clearance  for  double-­stack  rail  cars  while  giving  the  downtown  VRPH H[WUD VXUIDFH DUHD E\ ÂżOOLQJ in  the  now-­vacant  space  between  Triangle  Park  and  the  town  green. Cost  of  the  tunnel  is  estimated  at  $14.6  million  to  $17.4  million,  depending  on  vertical  clearance  and  related  issues.  Simply  replacing  the  bridges  is  estimated  to  cost  between  $13.1  million  and  $15.9  million.  The  project  is  eligible  to  be  covered  exclusively  with  state  and  federal  money. %XW )+:$ RIÂżFLDOV KDYH LQGL-­ cated  that  while  they  support  the  tunnel  plan  in  concept,  they  cannot  extend  federal  dollars  to  the  tunnel  segment  that  would  be  installed  between  the  two  bridges. “(The  FHWA)  would  consider  that  element  of  the  project  a  better-­ ment  that  would  not  be  eligible  for  federal  funding  participation,â€?  wrote  Patti  Coburn,  a  member  of  VTrans’  Program  Development Â

Division  who  spoke  with  FHWA  RIÂżFLDOV LQ D OHWWHU WR WKH Middlebury  selectboard. The  amount  the  feds  won’t  cover  for  the  tunnel  project  amounts  to  around  $1.5  million  â€”  money  the  state  doesn’t  have  in  its  budget,  according  to  Coburn.  â€œWe  recognize  the  tunnel  does  KDYH EHQHÂżWV WR WKH FRPPXQLW\ WKDW are  not  easily  articulated  and  go  beyond  engineering  considerations,â€?  Coburn  said.  â€œVTrans  management  was  consulted  to  determine  whether  state  funding  for  the  betterment  was  an  option.  In  general,  the  use  of  state  transportation  dollars  is  maximized  when  used  as  a  match  to  federal  dollars.  The  decision  was  made  that  the  state  would  not  be  able  to  consider  funding  the  betterment  without  a  federal  match  due  to  a  need  to  address  other  transportation  priorities  within  the  state.â€? 0LGGOHEXU\ RIÂżFLDOV RQ 7XHVGD\ reiterated  their  support  of  the  tunnel  concept  and  vowed  to  look  for  the  additional  funding  to  make  the  proj-­ ect  a  reality.  Funding  sources  could  include  state  and  federal  grants  for Â

transportation  projects  related  to  the  tunnel.  For  example,  the  newly  created  downtown  space  atop  the  tunnel  could  host  a  pedestrian-­bike  pathway  and/or  an  Addison  County  Transit  Resources  bus  stop  that  could  be  eligible  for  transportation  funds. Middlebury  Town  Manager  Kathleen  Ramsay  and  local  proj-­ ect  manager  Bill  Finger  hammered  home  that  point  in  an  August  8  meet-­ ing  with  Vermont  Transportation  Secretary  Brian  Searles.  â€œThe  town  made  it  clear  the  tunnel  remains  the  preferred  alternative  for  Middlebury  and  believes  the  tunnel  is  also  the  state’s  preferred  alter-­ native,â€?  Finger  said  in  a  written  statement  on  the  matter.  â€œThe  town  LV FRQÂżGHQW WKH VWDWH ZLOO PDNH D FRQFHUWHG HIIRUW WR ÂżQG IXQGV QHFHV-­ sary  to  complete  the  tunnel.  At  the  same  time,  as  funding  is  sought,  more  detailed  design  work  may  result  in  some  cost  reduction.â€? Work  on  the  project  is  tentatively  scheduled  to  begin  next  spring. Reporter  John  Flowers  is  at  johnf@addisonindependent.com.

Health  Matters

DR. Â CSASZAR

Keep  safe while  you stay  active By  MICHAEL  CSASZAR,  MD Physicians  in  Addison  County  are  seeing  increasing  numbers  of  patients  with  overuse  injuries. Warmer  weather  means  Ver-­ monters  are  out  doing  the  things  they  love:  gardening,  biking  and  hiking,  to  name  a  few.  As  a  result,  we  are  seeing  more  injuries  to  the  shoulders,  elbows,  wrists  and  other  joints  from  this  increased  activity.  It  is  also  important  to  recognize  those  that  have  daily  jobs  that  in-­ volve  repetitive  gripping,  typing,  lifting  or  position  changes  as  well,  as  these  folks  can  develop  similar  aches  and  pains  at  any  time. I  encourage  my  patients  to  re-­ member  these  three  tips  to  reduce  overuse  injuries: ‡ 6WUHWFKLQJ Even  5  minutes  of  stretching  before  and  after  physical  activity,  including  physi-­ cally  demanding  jobs,  can  be  ef-­ fective  in  preventing  injury.  Â‡ %DODQFH:  With  athletic  activi-­ ties,  cross-­training  is  an  important  way  to  maintain  balance  and  avoid  RYHUORDGLQJ VSHFLÂżF MRLQWV , DP a  runner,  but  I  could  not  be  one  without  some  time  on  the  elliptical  machine,  in  the  pool  or  on  the  bike  to  give  my  knees  a  break. ‡ 5HVW:  All  demanding  physical  activity  calls  for  rest.  Your  body  needs  proper  nutrition,  hydration  and  sleep  in  order  to  build  and  re-­ build  healthy  tissues.  Remember Â

to  listen  to  your  body:  â€œNo  pain,  no  gainâ€?  is  not  always  correct. :KDW LV DQ RYHUXVH LQMXU\" Many  people  have  had  a  single  event  leading  to  a  single  injury;Íž  for  example,  a  broken  bone  or  a  back  strain.  Overuse  injuries,  on  the  oth-­ er  hand,  tend  to  be  the  result  of  re-­ petitive  and  relatively  minor  stress  on  an  area,  which  accumulates  over  time.  Examples  of  these  include: ‡ 7HQQLV HOERZ SDLQ DW WKH RXWHU elbow  due  to  repetitive  gripping ‡ 6ZLPPHUÂśV VKRXOGHU SDLQ in  the  shoulder  due  to  repetitive  throwing  motions ‡ &DUSDO WXQQHO V\QGURPH SDLQ and  numbness  in  the  hand  and/or  wrist  due  to  overuse  of  the  hand  muscles Of  course,  you  do  not  have  to  be  a  tennis  player  or  swimmer  to  have  one  of  these  ailments;Íž  you  simply  need  to  be  doing  similar  repetitive  motions  or  activities.  Be  mindful  of  whether  an  overuse  injury  could  be  affecting  you.  Hips,  knees  and  feet  are  other  common  areas  where  these  types  of  injuries  can  occur.  &DQ FKLOGUHQ GHYHORS WKHVH LQ-­ MXULHV" Yes,  and  because  children  are  still  growing,  it  is  critical  to  inter-­ vene  early  to  prevent  long-­term  damage.  Many  overuse  injuries  in  children  are  due  to  participation  in  sports.  Common  examples  include  shoulder  and  elbow  pain  in  baseball  and  softball  pitchers,  and  foot  pain  in  track  runners  and  soccer  players.  If  a  young  athlete  complains  of  pain,  they  likely  need  to  rest.  If  that  pain  continues,  they  should  be  eval-­ uated  by  a  health  professional.  7KHUH LV D ZHDOWK RI LQIRUPD-­ tion  on  youth  injury  prevention  for  health  professionals,  trainers,  par-­ ents  and  athletes  at  www.stopsport-­ sinjuries.org.
