By  XIAN  CHIANG-­WAREN BRISTOL  —  The  location  may  have  been  rural  Vermont,  but  the  ambiance  was  entirely  French  at  the  Mount  Abraham  Union  High  School  cafeteria  last  Thursday.  French  music  piped  in  through  the  speakers,  crisp,  white  tablecloths  dressed  up  the  caf-­ eteria,  and  students  gathered  to  con-­ verse  in  French  over  a  gourmet  meal Â

prepared  by  chef  Bill  Snell  of  New  Haven’s  Tourterelle  restaurant. “It’s  what  we  want  meals  to  be  like  —  this  idea  of  community,�  said  Kathy  Alexander,  director  of  the  Ad-­ dison  Northeast  Supervisory  Union  Food  Service  Cooperative,  surveying  the  scene  with  a  smile.

The  high  school’s  second  annual  French  Day  was  a  collaborative  effort Â

between  Mount  Abe  French  students,  Tourterelle  owners  Bill  and  Christine  Snell,  and  the  staff  of  the  ANeSU  food  co-­operative.  In  recent  years,  the  ANeSU  co-­ op  has  made  great  strides  in  using  school  kitchens  —  not  to  mention  the  county’s  agricultural  heritage  —  to  enhance  the  learning  experiences  of  students  in  the  Five  Town  Area. Â

Along  with  in-­school  community  ser-­ vice  programs,  the  co-­op  has  planned  themed  lunch  days  as  special  events  that  also  integrate  classroom  learn-­ ing.  They  recently  hosted  a  Turkish  Lunch,  and  the  high  school  has  Greek  Day  and  Latin  American  Day  coming  up.  Most  theme  days  highlight  food  from  cultures  around  the  world,  but  (See  Mt.  Abe,  Page  2)

Tenth-­graders  Katie  Meyer  and  Susannah  Frey  staffed  the  lunch  line  along  with  Christine  Snell,  herself  a  native  of  France. “We  did  a  lot  of  stuff  in  class  over  the  last  couple  of  weeks,�  Meyer  said.  She  and  Frey  had  helped  make  a  bul-­ letin  board  for  the  hallway,  decorated  the  cafeteria,  and  found  French  music  to  play  during  the  event.  “I  think  it’s  good  to  get  people  in-­ terested  in  French,  too,�  Meyer  said  of  the  event.  “It’s  not  like  you’re  just  sitting  in  a  classroom  reading  a  text-­ book,  you’re  really  involved  in  learn-­ ing  the  language  and  the  culture.�

ANeSU  co-­op  educator  Kristen  Andrews  emphasized  that  the  cafete-­ ria  can  really  be  an  ideal  classroom Â

for  students.  “It’s  an  amazing  resource  that’s  usually  untapped  in  high  schools,  a  place  for  them  to  do  hands-­on  work  and  to  apply  what  it  is  they’re  learn-­ ing.  It’s  here,  so  why  not  use  it?â€?  An-­ drews  said. “It  helps  them  to  be  more  intimate  with  the  operation  of  food,  it  helps  them  think  about  planning  healthy  meals,  it’s  really  linked  to  health  and  well-­being.  The  more  that  students Â

are  involved  in  preparing  their  foods,  seeing  where  their  food  comes  from,  seeing  that  we  have  local  farms  that  are  dropping  off  their  food  here,  that  their  beef  is  from  a  local  farm  —  it  can  have  lifelong  consequences.�

In  the  short  term  though,  the  Mount  Abraham  community  seemed  to  be  thoroughly  enjoying  French  Day’s  success. “Can  I  have  thirds?�  one  student  asked.

Council  to  add  member  on  April  9;͞  candidates  emerge By  ANDY  KIRKALDY VERGENNES  —  Vergennes  city  council  members  at  their  meeting  last  week  said  they  will  almost  certainly  ¿OO WKH YDFDQF\ RQ WKH FRXQFLO DW WKHLU April  9  meeting,  and  two  candidates  have  emerged  for  the  vacancy  created  when  Alderman  Bill  Benton  won  a  race  for  mayor  on  March  5.  Former  alderman  Peter  Garon  had  already  expressed  an  interest  before  Tuesday’s  meeting.  On  Wednesday,  Vergennes  real  estate  broker  Lynn  -DFNVRQ 'RQQHOO\ FRQ¿UPHG WKDW VKH too,  would  like  to  be  appointed  to  VHUYH WKH ¿QDO \HDU RI %HQWRQœV WHUP which  will  expire  in  March  2014.  Both  attended  last  week’s  meeting.  %HQWRQ UXQQLQJ KLV ¿UVW PHHWLQJ since  his  election,  asked  all  other  in-­ terested  candidates  to  submit  a  letter  to  City  Clerk  Joan  Devine  with  their  background  and  reasons  for  wanting  to  serve.  City  Manager  Mel  Hawley  said  those  letters  should  be  received  by  this  Thursday  to  allow  him  to  include  the  letters  in  the  packet  he  will  send  to  aldermen  in  advance  of  their  April  9  meeting.

Garon  served  a  two-­year  term  that  expired  in  March,  but  lost  a  four-­way  race  for  three  seats  on  March  5.  He  is  a  10-­year  city  resident  who  has  retired  from  a  long  career  working  for  the  state  as  a  human  resources  adminis-­ trator;Íž  he  now  works  for  the  Vermont  State  Employees  Union  as  a  labor Â

educator.  He  has  served  on  boards  and  rescue  squads  in  other  towns  and  as  a  Vergennes  Area  Rescue  Squad  presi-­ dent.   Jackson  Donnelly  is  a  lifelong  resi-­ dent  of  the  Vergennes  area  who  is  the  principal  broker  of  Century  21  Jack  Associates.  She  recently  returned  to  Vergennes  after  living  in  Panton,  where  she  served  on  the  town  select-­ board,  including  as  its  chairwoman.  She  also  has  an  extensive  community  service  rĂŠsumĂŠ.  The  exact  process  for  the  council  to  choose  their  new  colleague  from  among  those  two  and  any  other  candi-­ dates  remains  up  in  the  air.  Hawley  said  the  Vergennes  charter  calls  for  a  vacancy  to  be  “forthwith  ¿OOHG E\ WKH DSSRLQWLQJ DXWKRULW\ ´ D statement  that  he  said  means  aldermen  must  act  promptly.  Alderman  Renny  Perry  said  that  also  elsewhere  councils  cast  ballots  in  secret  before  announcing  the  win-­ ner.  Hawley  said  he  would  research  whether  Vergennes  aldermen  would  have  to  go  on  public  record  with  their  votes.   Regardless  of  how  the  vote  is  han-­ dled,  Garon  suggested  a  “public  in-­ terview  processâ€?  to  allow  for  “more  transparency,â€?  a  suggestion  aldermen  viewed  favorably.

But  they  did  not  agree  last  week  on  whether  the  candidates  should  all  be  asked  the  same  set  of  questions  —  as  suggested  at  the  meeting  by  former Â

mayor  Mike  Daniels  —  or  whether  the  interview  should  be  more  free-­ Ă€RZLQJ Alderwoman  Ziggy  Comeau  made  a  recommendation  that  was  well  re-­ ceived  —  simply  giving  each  candi-­ date  a  few  minutes  to  make  his  or  her  case.  “You  can  let  each  of  them  speak,â€?  Comeau  said.  Alderman  Joe  Klopfenstein  said  after  those  presentations  the  council  could  then  ask  “clarifying  questionsâ€?  of  the  candidates.  Benton  said  he  and  Hawley  would  work  out  a  process  and  discuss  it  with  the  council  before  April  9. “We’ll  try  to  come  up  with  some-­ thing  that  is  fair  and  not  take  two  hours,â€?  Benton  said.  TEAMWORK  ISSUE? Aldermen  also  last  week  voted  to  ask  a  warning  to  be  prepared  for  their  April  9  meeting  that  would  call  for  a  $1.45  million  bond  vote  to  support  a  $1.55  million  police  station  project  on  North  Main  Street;Íž  that  issue  was  covered  in  the  March  28  Independent.   On  conclusion  of  discussion  of  the  police  station,  Alderman  Klopfenstein  made  a  statement  that  it  was  crucial  for  citizens  to  trust  the  council,  and  for  aldermen  to  trust  and  support  each  other,  act  as  a  team  and  back  group  decisions.  “It’s  very  important  we  uphold  that  decision,  especially  if  it  is  unanimous,  publicly  and  privately,â€?  he  said. Â

Afterward,  Klopfenstein  said  he  was  not  pleased  that  Comeau,  also  a  member  of  the  council’s  police  station  committee,  had  allegedly  campaigned  against  aldermen’s  $1.85  million  Town  Meeting  Day  police  station  pro-­ posal  after  voting  for  it  as  a  member  of  council.

Reached  later  in  the  week,  Comeau  said  she  had  not  actively  lobbied  against  the  proposal. “I  didn’t  say  one  way  or  another  on  it.  I  didn’t  campaign  against  it,  knock  on  doors  or  anything,�  she  said.  Comeau  did  acknowledge  that  if  people  “approached  me  concerned  with  their  taxes,�  she  told  them  they  had  the  right  to  vote  against  the  plan. “Of  course,  I  have  a  lot  of  seniors  who  talk  to  me,  and  that’s  what  I  tell  them,�  she  said.

If  people  asked  her  about  the  size  and  scope  of  the  project  before  the  vote,  Comeau  said  her  response  was,  “I  said  they’re  planning  ahead  for  the  future,�  adding,  “I  was  trying  to  be  careful  about  how  I  said  it.�

Comeau  said  she  encouraged  all  she  spoke  to  to  vote.  “I  did  say  we  have  to  know  how  you  feel  ‌  because  that’s  a  big  proj-­ ect,â€?  she  said.  Aldermen  last  week  also:  ‡ 7DEOHG D YRWH IRU VHQLRU DOGHU-­ PDQ XQWLO WKH FRXQFLO YDFDQF\ LV ÂżOOHG Randy  Ouellette  has  served  as  senior  alderman  in  recent  years.  The  senior  alderman  serves  the  remainder  of  the Â

Solar  energy,  not  large-­scale  wind,  is  the  way  to  go In  reference  to  letters  printed  in  the  Addison  Independent  on  Feb.  11  and  March  11  concerning  wind  energy  in  Vermont,  I  have  the  fol-­ lowing  comments: I  have  learned  much  from  liv-­ ing  off-­grid  for  the  past  eight  years,  and  I  do  own  a  small  wind  turbine.  It  helps  the  process,  but  the  solar  energy  is  truly  the  workhorse.  I’m  not  sure  that  there  is  anywhere  in  Vermont  where  enough  wind  can  be  produced  constantly  to  make  it  worth  scourging  our  ridgelines?

It  is  worth  noting,  that  wind  developers  are  as  intertwined  with  political  parties  as  any  other  interest.  When  I  worked  in  opposi-­ tion  to  the  larger  VELCO  power  lines  coming  through  our  county,  the  large  wind  interests  were  one  of  the  major  obstacles.  Even  then  (about  10  years  ago),  certain  wind  projects  in  the  state  seemed  a  trade  for  the  VELCO  project  approval.  Perhaps  the  largest  letdown  of  all  was  approaching  Bill  McKib-­

ben  for  assistance  (at  the  time  he  was  writing  articles  concerning  local  this,  local  that),  only  to  have  follow-­up  e-­mails  avoided  and  re-­ ceive  no  assistance  at  all.  I  wonder  where  he  is  now  when  natural-­ gas  lines  equated  with  fracking,  contaminating  water  supplies  and  explosion,  are  looming  over  Addi-­ son  County  to  service  International  Paper?  But,  he  too  is  sold-­out  and  beholden  to  certain  interests  as  much  as  any  politician:  He  knows  when  it’s  safe  to  get  involved  and  only  then  does  he  make  a  move. , ÂżQG LW KDUG WR EHOLHYH WKDW percent  of  all  Vermonters  favor  wind  on  our  ridgelines.  This  state-­ ment  made  me  wonder  about  the  Castleton  State  College  poll,  who  was  surveyed,  and  how  many?  I  went  online  to  study  the  results  and  noticed  it  was  a  very  small  sample  of  people.  Also,  it  did  not  identify  if  subjects  had  any  existing  knowledge  about  large  wind  installations.  I  am  an  ardent  backer  of  renewable  energy;Íž  I  live Â

it  —  but  renewable  energy  done  wisely.  I  do  not  believe  huge  wind  on  our  ridgelines  is  wise  for  nu-­ merous  reasons,  some  explained  in  your  previous  letters,  and  I  be-­ lieve  we  will  regret  those  projects  in  the  future.

Distributed  solar  energy  is  the  way  to  go.  I  picture  a  world  where  everyone  has  solar  panels  to  pow-­ er  their  home/business,  maybe  a  small  wind  turbine  as  well,  energy  HI¿FLHQF\ LV SUDFWLFHG DQG ZH DUH all  driving  better-­mileage  cars  or  hybrids.  Sure,  in  the  winter  you  may  need  some  backup  propane  or  oil,  but  it  won’t  be  anywhere  near  what  you  are  using  now!  How  about  all  new  construction  being  required  to  be  energy  producers?  The  above  would  be  enough  to  be-­ gin  solving  our  climate  troubles,  all  without  ugly,  earth-­harming,  controversial  projects.  The  tech-­ nology  is  there  for  us  to  take  care  of  ourselves:  Make  it  real,  folks!

How  many  people  did  you  ask  when  it  was  time  to  build  your  busi-­ ness?  Did  you  give  anyone  notice  that  it  might  block  someone’s  view  or  be  too  close  to  someone’s  side-­ walk?  Besides,  who  better  knows  ZKDW D ÂżUH GHSDUWPHQW QHHGV WKDQ WKH ÂżUHÂżJKWHUV" :KR NQRZV EHVW how  much  money  they  might  need?

The  selectboard  meetings  are  open  to  the  public,  and  anyone  could  have  gone  to  any  meeting  pertaining  to  the  proposed  build-­ ing  site  or  watched  in  on  TV.  There  was  no  secret  agenda.  Where  have  you  people  been  for  the  last  six  years  while  these  discussions  were  taking  place  at  the  selectboard  meetings?  As  far  as  the  residential  LVVXH JRHV WKH ¿UHKRXVH LV DOUHDG\ in  our  neighborhood,  as  well  as  many  other  businesses  around  the  corner,  across  the  street  and  on  the  street.  The  parking  issue  would  be  greatly  improved,  as  it  would  get  the  cars  of  North  and  Church  streets.  The  trucks  already  come  out  on  North  Street,  it  would  be   no  different.

Yes,  I  grew  up  in  Bristol,  right  on  Church  Street,  and  kept  time  by  the  noon  whistle,  and  listened Â

(Continued  from  Page  4) ters  who  can  contest  your  variance  forever  or  use  it  as  a  blackmail  or  extortion  tool.

This  legislation  also  has  the  potential  to  increase  the  cost  of  maintenance  without  reducing  the  prime  tax  rate  charged  for  lakefront  property.  In  addition,  the  legislation  puts  landowner  property  rights  at  risk  —  would  “shoreline  zonesâ€?  be  seen  as  public  access  points  to  the  water?  Could  an  uninvited  person  ¿VK RU VZLP IURP SULYDWHO\ RZQHG state-­controlled  “shoreland  zonesâ€??  Who  covers  insurance  if  they  are  in-­ jured,  etc.,  while  we  pay  the  taxes?  This  bill  throws  many  yet-­unknown  burdens  on  the  lake  property  owners  without  having  evaluated  the  many  XQNQRZQ ÂżQDQFLDO LPSDFWV DQG IRU sure  lowered  property  values.

Other  unknowns  arise  where  this  is  quite  a  bit  of  vegetation  on  a  lot  consisting  of  small  and  large  trees,  saplings  and  shrubs  within  the  100-­ foot  buffer  zone.  Some  of  the  veg-­ etation  requires  annual  trimming  or  removal.  Under  this  bill,  lakefront  owners  would  be  required  to  obtain  a  permit  to  remove  a  dead  tree,  one  presenting  a  danger  to  the  dwelling,  or  blown  over  in  our  more  frequent  windstorms.  Conditions  for  removal  are  unknown  and  there  is  no  clue  as  to  how  the  permit  process  would  work.

Many  lake  residents  have  docks  to  access  the  water.  If  a  dock  is  taken  out  in  the  fall,  would  we  be  required  to  obtain  a  state  permit  to  replace  it?  Again,  at  what  cost  and  what  fees?

This  is  important:  Could  the  state  disallow  replacement  of  structure  (including  camps  within  the  100  feet)  in  this  buffer  zone,  even  though  they  are  pre-­existing?  Again,  neighbors  can  make  hay  out  of  this  by  appealing  any  decision  and  drag-­ ging  it  on  for  years  or  by  extorting  the  party  requesting  the  permit.

I  love  the  lake  and  want  to  see  it  improved  but  not  with  such  draco-­ QLDQ OHJLVODWLRQ VR XQGH¿QHG WKDW even  I  (a  non-­lawyer)  could  tie  up  any  owner  requesting  changes  for  years.  Also,  the  enforcement  of  this  legislation  would  be  very  costly  to  the  state,  towns  and  residents.  Pro-­ tecting  the  environment  is  a  com-­ monsense  and  noble  cause  we  all  support,  but  this  piece  of  legislation  seems  to  be  lacking  common  sense  and  will  only  open  a  Pandora’s  box  RI LQ¿QLWH OLWLJDWLRQ I  urge  lake  property  owners  to  read  Bill  H.526  at  www.leg.state. vt.us  and  contact  your  representa-­ tives  and  Gov.  Shumlin  with  your  opinion  on  this  proposal.  John  Carrigan South  Burlington Addison  property  owner

U.S.  REP.  PETER  Welch  hears  from  working  parents  about  their  strug-­ gles  to  get  a  college  degree  in  a  visit  to  the  Community  College  of  Ver-­ mont  last  Thursday. Â

Independent  photo/Lee  Kahrs

Welch (Continued  from  Page  1) two-­year-­old  twin  boys,  and  splits  her  time  between  school  and  work.  U.S.  Rep.  Peter  Welch,  D-­Vt.,  visited  CCV  Thursday  as  part  of  an  effort  to  thwart  a  proposed  doubling  of  interest  rates  on  new,  subsidized  Stafford  student  loans,  from  3.4  to  6.8  percent.  The  event  was  a  round-­ table  discussion  with  10  CCV  stu-­ dents  who  count  on  Stafford  loans  DQG RWKHU ÂżQDQFLDO DLG VRXUFHV WR pursue  their  academic  goals.  Welch  intends  to  take  some  of  WKHLU VWRULHV WR WKH +RXVH Ă&#x20AC;RRU WKLV month  when  he  argues  against  the  interest  rate  hike.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  worked  before  and  the  Congressman  hopes  it  will  work  again.  Welch  used  the  same  strategy  in  March  of  2012  to  win  a  one-­year  reprieve  on  the  interest  rate  hike.  That  reprieve  is  set  to  expire  July  1.  If  the  interest  rate  hike  goes  through,  it  will  add  roughly  $1,000  to  the  Stafford  loan  tab  per  students.

But  it  would  also  raise  an  estimat-­ ed  $6  billion  toward  lowering  the  IHGHUDO GH¿FLW DW D WLPH ZKHQ IHGHUDO budget  negotiations  have  Democrats  and  Republicans  at  a  standoff.  At  this  point,  neither  party  has  money  set  aside  in  their  respective  budget  proposals  to  keep  student  loan  inter-­ est  rates  at  current  levels.

But  Welch  said  Thursday  that  he  believes  just  cutting  costs  is  not  the  way  to  solve  the  debt  crisis  and  shared  a  recent  argument  he  had  with  Wisconsin  Republican  Paul  Ryan,  who  chairs  the  House  Budget  Committee  and  was  the  Republican  vice  presidential  nominee  last  year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  argument  is,  yes,  we  have  to  deal  with  debt  in  this  country,  but  we  also  have  wage  stagnation  and  income  inequality,â&#x20AC;?  Welch  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  have  to  invest  in  our  future  and  in  our  infrastructure,  and  if  the  only  thing  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  doing  is  cutting,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  make  (the  economy)  worse,  not  better.â&#x20AC;?

Welch  was  clearly  impressed  with  the  workload  the  students  have  taken  on,  with  six  out  of  10  of  them  work-­ ing  while  going  to  school  and  raising  families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  if  I  can  get  through  the  rest  of  you,â&#x20AC;?  Welch  said  jokingly  after  hearing  from  half  of  the  stu-­ dents.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do  you  know  how  easy  my  life  is  compared  to  yours?â&#x20AC;?

Welch  added  that  supporting  stu-­ dents  is  the  best  way  to  invest  in  the  countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  have  to  get  incomes  up  and  get  people  to  work,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  here  you  are,  working  hard  to  create  a  future,  and  your  governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  pol-­ icies  should  take  advantage  of  that.â&#x20AC;?

Ava  Pehm  concurred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  we  the  future?â&#x20AC;?  she  asked.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  we  the  ones  who  will  be  paying  our  taxes  and  contributing  to  the  economy?â&#x20AC;?

The  congressman  seemed  heart-­ ened  by  the  exchange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  are  the  future,  and  you  know  ZKDW" , IHHO FRQÂżGHQW LQ RXU IXWXUH ´ he  told  the  students.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  take  care  of  me  in  my  old  age.  As  citizens,  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  entitled  to  have  Congress  watching  your  back,  more  than  we  are  now.â&#x20AC;?

Afterwards,  Welch  said  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hop-­ ing  for  a  longer-­term  solution  than  another  one-­year  reprieve,  but  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  take  it. Âł,ÂśOO GHÂżQLWHO\ EH WDONLQJ DERXW these  students,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  are  so  inspiring.  All  they  want  is  a  shot.  I  would  like  a  longer-­term  solution,  but  letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  do  what  we  can.â&#x20AC;?

Welch  said  he  believes  there  are  ways  to  raise  revenue  other  than  a  hike  in  student  loan  interest  rates,  which  he  considers  taking  advantage  of  students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  just  unconscionable  to  dou-­ ble  the  cost  to  these  students,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  like  a  punitive  tax.  If  we  could  get  some  stability  for  families  instead,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  be  much  better  off.â&#x20AC;?

nents  also  cite  the  fact  that  children  (Continued  from  Page  3) DUHD WUDI¿F ORFDO E\ODZV DQG RUGL-­ live  in  the  area  around  the  proposed  nances,  and  impacts  under  the  Act  dispensary  site.  At  the  very  least,  opponents  say,  the  selectboard  250  land  use  law.

The  Vermont  Medical  Marijuana  should  have  held  a  public  informa-­ law  of  2004  allows  for  up  to  four  dis-­ tion  meeting  about  the  issue  before  pensaries  statewide  to  serve  almost  it  went  to  the  DRB.  The  selectboard  500  patients  on  the  state  registry.  did  not  act  on  the  proposal,  remand-­ There  are  currently  two  dispensaries  ing  it  to  Town  Zoning  Administra-­ permitted,  one  in  Burlington  and  one  tor  Tina  Wiles  and  the  DRB  since  in  Waterbury.  There  are  almost  200  there  was  no  town  ordinance  ban-­ patients  on  the  state  registry  living  in  ning  such  a  facility.

In  her  appeal,  Nichols  four  southern  counties  of  also  noted  that  there  is  no  Vermont  who  are  unable  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a to  access  the  more  north-­ responsibility letter  of  support  from  Po-­ lice  Chief  Chris  Brickell  ern  dispensaries. regarding  the  dispensary.  By  law,  a  patient  must  as the police In  fact,  Brickell  stated  at  suffer  from  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;debilitat-­ chief to look a  March  11  selectboard  ing  medical  conditionâ&#x20AC;?  at how this meeting  that  Ford  mis-­ in  order  to  qualify  for  affects my characterized  his  support  the  medical  marijuana  community.â&#x20AC;? of  the  project.  While  he  registry.  Patients  must  â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police Chief said  a  February  meet-­ have  the  approval  of  a  Chris Brickell ing  with  Ford  went  well,  physician  they  have  been  he  did  take  issue  with  a  seeing  for  at  least  six  months,  who  authorizes  the  use  of  line  in  the  minutes  from  the  Feb.  medical  marijuana  for  the  patient  19  DRB  hearing,  which  he  did  not  once  all  other  avenues  have  been  ex-­ attend.  In  the  minutes,  Ford  said,  hausted.  Patients  must  be  screened  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  chief  told  her  he  is  comfort-­ by  the  Department  of  Public  Safety,  able  with  everything  they  are  pro-­ submit  to  a  background  check  and  posing.â&#x20AC;?  Brickell  said  that  is  inac-­ agree  to  no-­knock  searches  by  law  curate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  talked  about  security  and  enforcement  before  being  accepted  surveillance  and  I  would  say  it  went  onto  the  state  registry.

The  dispensaries  operate  under  well,â&#x20AC;?  Brickell  said  in  a  March  11  the  authority  of  the  state  Depart-­ interview  with  the  Brandon  Re-­ ment  of  Public  Safety.  They  must  porter.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  to  say  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  comfortable  operate  by  appointment  only,  and  with  everything  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  proposing  only  one  patient  at  a  time  is  al-­ is  inaccurate.â&#x20AC;?

Brickell  said  he,  too,  has  been  lowed  to  be  seen.  The  facility  must  be  equipped  with  surveillance  and  concerned  that  no  public  informa-­ tion  meeting  was  held  on  the  issue. alarm  equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  have  a  responsibility  as  the  Some  Brandon  residents  have  re-­ cently  expressed  their  disapproval  police  chief  to  look  at  how  this  af-­ with  the  plan  to  establish  a  medical  fects  my  community,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  do  marijuana  facility  in  Brandon,  say-­ have  a  problem  with  this  (dispensa-­ ing  it  will  increase  drug  use  and  the  ry)  becoming  a  potential  target  for  crime  rate  in  Brandon.  There  is  no  criminals.  Certainly  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  legitimate  proof  that  a  medical  marijuana  dis-­ business,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  much  broader  pensary  has  that  effect,  but  oppo-­ social  issue  about  what  we  want  to Â

bring  into  our  community.â&#x20AC;?

Brickell  did  say  that  he  and  Ford  came  to  an  understanding  of  the  police  departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  role  should  the  dispensary  be  approved,  and  there  is  the  possibility  of  a  memorandum  of  understanding  with  the  Brandon  police.  That  would  give  Brickell  the  same  authority  as  the  Department  of  Public  Safety,  the  overseeing  body  of  medical  marijuana  dispen-­ saries  in  the  state,  to  perform  sur-­ prise  or  â&#x20AC;&#x153;no-­knockâ&#x20AC;?  searches  and  spot  checks.

According  to  Nicholsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  appeal,  she  was  also  unclear  about  her  rights  as  an  abutting  landowner  when  she  attended  the  Feb.  19  pub-­ lic  hearing  held  by  the  DRB  on  the  dispensary  application.  While  she  acknowledged  receipt  of  a  letter  ap-­ prising  her  of  the  hearing,  Nichols  said  she  was  not  told  of  her  rights  as  an  abutter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  letter  did  not  say  I  had  to  attend  or  be  sworn  in  to  testify  to  appeal  any  decision  made  by  the  DRB,â&#x20AC;?  Nichols  wrote,  adding  that  the  condition  of  being  sworn  in  was  not  made  clear  at  the  hearing  either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  assumed  I  would  be  able  to  ask  questions  at  that  meeting,â&#x20AC;?  she  wrote.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  did  not  realize  it  was  a  judiciary  hearing.â&#x20AC;?  Nichols  added  that  she  did  not  have  ample  time  to  prepare  for  the  hearing.

A  number  of  people  attending  that  hearing  had  the  same  com-­ plaint.  According  to  Wiles,  Town  Attorney  Jim  Carroll  has  told  her  that  everyone  who  signed  in  at  the  public  hearing  should  be  included  on  a  list  of  interested  parties.  That  will  give  them  the  right  to  appeal,  but  the  Environmental  Court  will  ultimately  determine  party  status.

That  said,  there  is  still  time  for  other  appeals  in  this  case.  The  30-­ GD\ SHULRG LQ ZKLFK WR ¿OH DQ DS-­ peal  is  up  April  6.

after  using  them,  and  secure  your  garbage  containers,â&#x20AC;?  he  added.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  above  all,  never  purposely  leave  food  out  for  bears.  Feeding  bears  may  seem  kind,  but  it  is  almost  a  sure  death  sentence  for  them.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Help  keep  bears  wild,â&#x20AC;?  said  LeCours.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  care  about  these  bears  as  much  as  anyone.  Having  to  destroy  one  that  has  become  a  threat  to  human  safety  is  not  a  pleasant  experience,  and  we  know  that  mov-­ ing  them  to  another  location  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  change  their  behavior.  They  contin-­

ue  to  seek  food  near  people  because  they  have  learned  that  it  works.â&#x20AC;?

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.

Let us help you sift through the complexities of the Fair Housing Law. Stay legal. Stay on the right side of the nation’s Fair Housing Law. Call the Addison Independent at (802) 388-­4944.

Vermont  wildlife  responding  to  milder  winter  weather Following  a  spell  of  warm,  spring-­ like  weather,  biologists  at  the  Vermont  Fish  &  Wildlife  Department  observed  black  bears  out  of  their  dens  early  in  March.  In  recent  years,  mild  weather  has  frequently  driven  bears  to  enter  their  dens  later  and  to  emerge  earlier.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bears  are  triggered  to  enter  their  den  when  food  begins  to  become  scarce  in  fall  or  early  winter,  which  usually  follows  a  heavy  snowfall,â&#x20AC;?  said  Forrest  Hammond,  bear  project  leader  for  Vermont  Fish  &  Wildlife.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring  rains  and  warm  temperatures  cause  bears  to  leave  their  dens  in  search  of  uncovered  nuts  and  green  shoots  that  start  to  emerge  from  the  melting  snowpack.  Bears  will  be  active  as  long  DV WKH\ FDQ HDVLO\ ÂżQG IRRG EXW WKH\ will  return  to  their  dens  if  another  deep  snowfall  covers  their  food  supply.â&#x20AC;?

Shorter  denning  seasons  in  Vermont  are  consistent  with  reports  from  the  American  West,  Scandinavia  and  Spain,  where  many  brown  bears  have  forgone  hibernation  altogether.  Bears  vary  the  duration  of  winter  dormancy  based  on  their  latitude  and  altitude;͞  bears  that  live  further  north  or  high  in  the  mountains  typically  den  for  a  longer  period  of  time.

Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  black  bears  are  not  the Â

only  species  changing  their  behavior  due  to  recent  winter  weather  patterns.  Many  bird  species  have  started  to  migrate,  breed,  and  nest  earlier  in  the  spring  in  recent  years.

John  Buck,  migratory  bird  project  leader  for  Vermont  Fish  &  Wildlife,  says  that  the  department  has  observed  state  endangered  spruce  grouse  display-­ ing  courtship  and  breeding  activity  three  weeks  early  as  a  response  to  low  spring  snowpack  levels  in  recent  years.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  concerned  that  the  females  may  nest  early  and  then  see  their  nests  buried  under  a  heavy,  late-­season  snowstorm,  which  would  likely  result  in  a  high  rate  of  nest  failures,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

The  department  has  also  observed  that  waterfowl  are  delaying  their  departure  from  Vermont  for  the  winter  because  they  continue  to  have  access  to  open  water,  sometimes  late  into  December  or  January.

Fish  &  Wildlifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Steve  Parren  has  been  studying  a  population  of  wood  turtles  for  the  past  25  years.  According  to  Parren,  the  turtles  have  historically  emerged  from  hibernation  in  mid-­ April.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;During  the  extreme  warm  spell  that  we  had  last  winter,  we  saw  wood  turtles  basking  on  March  17,  nearly  a  month  earlier  than  they  are  typically Â
