H.526:  A  problem  of  scale One  of  the  problems  with  H.526  is  of  scale.  The  focus  and  intent  is  clearly  aimed  at  cleaning  up  the  vast  waters  of  Lake  Champlain,  which  receives  the  drainage  of  thousands  of  acres  of  farmland,  residential  lawns  and  vast  urban  development.  But  when  this  same  legislation  is  applied  to  tiny  Sunset  Lake  in  Orwell  or  the  long-­developed  shores  of  Lake  Dunmore,  or  many  other  similar  lakes  in  Vermont,  the  legislationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  intent  could  well  miss  the  mark  and  cause  more  injury  than  good.

On  Lake  Dunmore,  for  example,  an  active  lake  association  has  been  intent  on  keeping  its  milfoil  problem  under  control.  Dues  are  collected,  fund-­raisers  are  held,  and  individual  landowners  that  abut  the  shoreline  are  enouraged  to  patrol  and  handpick  the  milfoil  off  their  shoreline.  Permits  are  required  for  new  construction  or  renovations  on  any  lake  lots  as  is  the  case  with  most  towns  with  zoning  and  planning  rules  in  place.  Because  the  lake  has  long  been  developed,  there  is  scarcely  any  land  around  the  lake  that  has  a  vacant  ORW HYHQ WKRXJK PXFK RI LW DSSHDUV IRUHVWHG DW ¿UVW JODQFH 7KH ODUJHVW VHF-­ tions  that  are  not  forested  and  allow  the  most  run-­off  into  the  lake  are,  ironi-­ cally,  the  roadways  operated  by  the  state  (Highway  53)  and  West  Shore  Road  in  Shoreham.  Otherwise,  private  landowners  have  been  careful  to  treat  the  shoreline  with  care.

Consequently,  home  values  along  the  shoreline  are  high.  That  high  valu-­ ation,  in  turn,  means  that  landowners  are  willing  to  spend  appropriate  re-­ sources  to  protect  the  land  and  the  water,  and  preserve  their  propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  value.

Lessen  the  value  of  those  properties  by  limiting  how  a  private  landowner  can  develop  in  the  future  and  you  threaten  to  upset  the  forces  of  private  enter-­ prise  that  work  so  well  in  these  closely  contained  environments.  The  proposed  legislation  has  been  made  better  by  allowing  towns  with  planning  and  zoning  laws  in  place  to  monitor  lake  development,  rather  than  have  state  bureaucracy  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  Agency  of  Natural  Recources  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  appoint  a  czar  to  oversee  any  proposed  development  on  almost  any  lake  in  the  state.  (Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  nightmare  waiting  to  happen.)  But  allowing  the  ANR  to  write  the  FRQVWUXFWLRQ UXOHV IRU WRZQV WR IROORZ LV DOVR D VXUHÂżUH ZD\ WR VQXII RXW WKH embers  of  a  resurgence  in  home  construction,  costing  jobs  and  slowing  the  state  economy.

Take  it  for  what  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  worth If  you  phrase  the  wording  of  a  petition  slyly,  you  can  skew  the  message  well  enough  that  the  vast  majority  would  think  it  foolhardy  not  to  sign.  The  latest  example  is  the  petition  against  raising  the  tax  on  gasoline  that  gathered  the  signatures  of  20,000  Vermonters.  Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  how  the  petition  read:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vermont  lawmakers  are  considering  an  8-­10  cent  increase  in  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gas  tax.  Such  a  tax  will  make  gasoline  in  the  state  even  more  expensive  with  total  state  and  federal  taxes  of  more  than  53  cents  per  gallon.  In  addition,  the  proposal  calls  for  automatic  increases  in  the  future  as  well  as  including  a  sales  tax  component  that  will  increase  the  tax  whevever  the  price  goes  up.  Tell  Vermont  lawmakers  you  are  already  paying  enough!â&#x20AC;?  Here  are  some  additional  facts:  the  raise  in  the  taxes  are  set  over  two  years;Íž  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gas  tax  is  high  but  not  out  of  line  with  other  states;Íž  the  automatic  LQFUHDVHV DUH VHW WR VWDELOL]H WKH UHYHQXH WR Âż[ WKH VWDWHÂśV URDGV DQG EULGJHV so  that  we  can  create  a  dependable  revenue  stream  and  not  defer  necessary  maintenance  (which  prolongs  the  life  of  the  roads,  provides  citizen  safety,  and  saves  money  in  the  long  term.)  Had  the  petitioners  asked  those  same  20,000  residents  if  they  were  in  favor  RI WKH VWDWH Âż[LQJ WKH SRWKROHV LQ ORFDO DQG VWDWH URDGV DVVXULQJ WKDW EULGJHV didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  collapse  and  that  highways  were  passable  in  winter  and  smooth  enough  WR GULYH LQ VXPPHU ZHÂśUH FRQÂżGHQW WKH YDVW PDMRULW\ ZRXOG KDYH VDLG \HV Petitions  with  such  a  slanted  bias  purposely  appeal  to  the  publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gut  reac-­ tion;Íž  they  elicit  anger  and  fester  anti-­government  sentiment  by  suggesting  that  such  requests  for  more  money  are  outrageous  and  unending.  What  such  petitions  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  do  is  explain  the  context.  If  these  petitioners  knew  that  the  state  would  lose  $56  million  in  federal  matching  dollars  un-­ less  the  state  could  raise  another  few  million  to  add  to  what  it  already  has,  most  would  say  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  smart  investment  and  we  shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  pass  it  up.  If  the  petitioners  knew  that  a  good  portion  of  the  gas  tax  was  paid  by  out-­of-­state  visitors,  thus  spreading  the  burden  of  road  and  bridge  maintenance  to  the  mil-­ lions  of  people  who  use  the  roads  but  otherwise  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  pay  taxes  in  Vermont,  they  would  say  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  pretty  good  idea.  If  they  knew  that  some  of  the  extra  money  was  used  to  beef  up  bridges  and  culverts  from  the  damage  done  from  TS  Irene  to  ensure  such  destruction  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  happen  again,  they  might  also  think  that  was  necessary  to  do.

What  the  petition  does  teach  is  this:  Those  who  are  asked  to  sign  such  peti-­ tions  should  spend  more  than  30  seconds  thinking  about  the  full  cause  and  effect  of  the  legislative  action  before  signing  on;Íž  and  that  legislators  should  take  the  petition  for  what  it  is  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  gut  reaction  against  an  issue  that  was  not  carefully  considered.

Our  forbears  knew  from  personal  experience  the  damage  that  can  result  when  one  form  of  religion  controls  every  aspect  of  life  for  everyone.  Hence,  their  concern  to  protect  the  state  from  such  an  intru-­ sion.

Bracing  for  another  new  challenge As  I  get  older,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  beginning  to  think  my  body  has  been  wired  backward.  Either  that,  or  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  true  what  they  say  about  the  advancing  years  becoming  a  second  child-­ hood.

How  else  can  I  explain  the  onset  of  some  health-­relat-­ ed  maintenance  needs  that  should  have  manifested  them-­ selves  when  I  was  a  lot  younger?

First,  my  body  waited  until  adulthood  before  telling  me  that  I  â&#x20AC;&#x153;neededâ&#x20AC;?  the  mumps.  I  guess  it  was  Mother  Na-­ tureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  way  of  having  a  good  laugh  at  my  expense.  Kids  look  cute  with  chipmunk  cheeks;Íž  adults  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  not  so  much.

Then  my  biological  alarm  clock  waited  until  I  was  past  40  to  ring  and  let  me  know  that  my  wisdom  teeth  needed  to  come  out.  So  in  an  amaz-­ ing  reversal,  my  kids  sat  me  down  to  explain  to  me  what  to  expect  come Â

By John extraction  day.  They  unfortunately  Flowers left  out  the  part  about  â&#x20AC;&#x153;dry  socketsâ&#x20AC;?  and  the  punch-­drunk  confessional  you  deliver  while  staggering  from  the  dentistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  chair  to  the  passenger  seat  of  your  vehicle.  My  wife,  Dottie,  still  regales  me  with  that  little  anecdote.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  just  glad  she  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  my  digital  recorder  and  re-­ porterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  notebook.

And  just  when  I  thought  I  could  shut  my  big  mouth,  I  got  this  latest  bit  of  sobering  news  that  usually  triggers  angst  in  adolescents,  not  recent  AARP  recruits:  I  need  braces. $ WHHQÂśV QDWXUDO ÂżUVW UHDFWLRQ ZRXOG EH Âł7KLV LV JRQQD temporarily  cramp  my  social  life.â&#x20AC;? $ \HDU ROGÂśV ÂżUVW UHDFWLRQ Âł7KLV LV JRQQD WHPSR-­ rarily  wreck  my  wallet.â&#x20AC;?

But  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  likely  to  be  a  necessary  expenditure  and  it  is Â

certainly  not  about  vanity.  My  orthodontist  pointed  to  a  substantial  overbite  and  my  propensity  to  clench  my  jaws  together  while  asleep  as  the  culprits  in  undermining  my  teeth.  In  laymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  terms:  Get  some  railroad  tracks  installed  or  risk  spitting  out  some  Chiclets.

Darn.  And  Mom  and  Dad  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  around  anymore  to  ask  for  a  retroactive  investment  in  my  teeth  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  not  that  they  could  have  afforded  it  back  in  the  day,  anyway.  It  was  pretty  rare  in  those  days  to  see  kids  wearing  brac-­ es.  You  pretty  much  played  the  dental  cards  you  were  dealt,  and  my  hand  included  a  deuce  and  a  joker.  I  have  felt  blessed  at  not  having  collected  a  lot  of  cavities  through  the  years,  but  I  have  always  admired  people  like  Dottie  and  our  daughter,  Diane,  who  were  both  born  with  straight,  strong  teeth.  Our  son  Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  teeth  are  now  superb  thanks  to  a  set  of  braces  that  set  us  back  a  few  farthings.  But  that  expenditure,  to  us,  was  a  no-­brainer;Íž  God  willing,  Mark  has  a  lot  of  years,  job  interviews  and  ears  of  corn  on  the  cob  ahead  of  him.

My  braces  of  course  would  be  strictly  for  utilitarian  purposes  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  making  sure  I  keep  all  those  little  soldiers  in  line  for  as  long  as  possible.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  not  in  it  as  much  for  the  visual.  No  danger  of  me  being  called  up  for  a  Hol-­ lywood  screen  test  any  time  soon.

Being  an  adult,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  guessing  that  I  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  subject-­ ed  to  a  lot  of  the  cruel  playground  taunts  sometimes  reserved  for  young  brace-­wearers.  In  other  words,  I  will  probably  be  able  to  cover  selectboard  meetings  without  being  referred  to  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;brace  faceâ&#x20AC;?  or  â&#x20AC;&#x153;metal  mouth.â&#x20AC;?  The  braces  might  however  pose  yet  another  nightmare  for  (See  Clippings,  Page  5A)

There  was  quite  a  turnout  at  the  Public  Service  Board  public  hearing  on  March  21  at  Champlain  Valley  Union  High  School  in  Hinesburg  for  the  Addison  Natural  Gas  Pipeline  project.  The  queue  for  signing  up  to  speak  took  about  an  hour  to  get  through  and  testimonies  lasted  until  after  10  p.m.

I  noticed  quite  a  difference  between  the  pros  and  the  cons.  The  pros  were  mostly  (not  all)  paid  and/ or  public  professionals  or  individu-­ als  representing  large  corporations  or  businesses  who  spoke  with  expe-­ rience  and  eloquence.  Almost  all  of  WKH SURV VWDWHG HFRQRPLF EHQHÂżWV DV the  reason  they  thought  this  pipeline  should  be  built.  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  remember  many  (if  any)  young  people  who  supported  it.

I  was  surprised  to  hear  from  so  many  New  Yorkers  about  how  this  ZLOO EHQH¿W ,QWHUQDWLRQDO 3DSHU because  I  thought  that  was  Phase  2  and  this  hearing  was  pertain-­ ing  to  Phase  1  to  Middlebury  and  Vergennes.  I  also  thought  that  the  Vermont  Public  Service  Board  pub-­ lic  hearing  is  for  Vermonters,  not  for  people  from  out  of  state.

Then  there  were  the  cons.  They  ran  the  gamut  from  singers  to  farm-­ ers  to  retired  teachers  to  your  aver-­ age  landowners  and  they  cited  as  many  different  reasons  to  not  accept  this  pipeline  as  there  were  types  of  people;Íž  the  fact  that  this  is  fracked  gas,  that  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;clean  claimâ&#x20AC;?  is  not  accurate,  the  fact  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;naturalâ&#x20AC;?  gas  is  still  a  fossil  fuel,  the  issue  of  landowners  not  being  fairly  com-­ pensated,  the  safety  issues  of  run-­ ning  a  high  pressure  industrial  gas  pipeline  close  to  residences,  the  fact  that  most  towns  hosting  the  pipeline  will  not  get  distribution,  the  fact  that  the  predicted  economic  gains  are  grossly  exaggerated  and  so  on.  I  also  heard  a  lot  of  people  complain-­ ing  that  they  had  not  been  treated  fairly  or  honestly  by  Vermont  Gas. It  will  be  interesting  to  see  how  the  Public  Service  Board  measures  the  response  from  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;public.â&#x20AC;?  I  was  proud  to  be  among  my  neigh-­ bors  who  took  the  time  to  make  their  appearance  and  conquered  their  fears  of  speaking  in  public  to  state  their  opinions  on  this  project.  My  sincerest  hope  is  that  we  were  heard.

She  is  survived  by  her  three  daughters,  Nancy  Gaudreau  and  husband  Louis  of  Perth,  Ontario,  Holly  Ferguson  of  Middlebury,  and  Ann  Chalmers  and  husband  Rich  of  Williamstown;Íž  and  eight  grandchil-­ dren.  She  was  predeceased  by  her  husband,  Bob  Dickson;Íž  her  sister,  Alice  Pearsall  Tilley;Íž  and  brother Â

A REQUEST TO CALL THINGS BY THEIR RIGHT NAME from your neighbors of 27 Vermont towns & cities Dear Community Members, You may be aware that there is something called the Addison County Natural Gas project currently being proposed. In truth, it is not natural gas derived from conventional drilling. It is hydraulically fractured gas, or fracked gas. In order to genuinely evaluate the economic, environmental and ethical implications of the project, it is important to distinguish fracked gas from conventionally drilled natural gas or biogas (i.e., our home-grown â&#x20AC;&#x153;cow power.â&#x20AC;?) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural Gasâ&#x20AC;? or Fracked Gas? Fracked gas, unlike conventionally drilled gas or farm-generated biogas, is extracted by injecting hazardous chemicals, mixed with massive amounts of fresh water, deep into the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shale deposits. The high-pressure frackLQJ Ă XLG EUHDNV DSDUW URFN DOORZLQJ IRVVLO IXHO WR HVFDSH WKURXJK WKH FUDFNV As a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, oil and gas drillers, exclusively, are exempt from obeying the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act. Due to this exemption, gas and oil companies may inject nearly 600 fracking chemicals directly into or adjacent to underground drinking water supplies, and may do so unmonitored and unregulated.

These companies deny the public and governmental regulatory bodies, including the EPA, access to information about the fracking chemicals in use.

Were it not for independent studies, the public would not even know the names of the chemicals to which human, animal and plant life are being exposed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including, but not limited to, known human carcinogens, neurotoxins, VOCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and heavy metals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in amounts that far exceed public safety levels.

Understanding the danger that fracking poses to public health, the environment, and, in particular, our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh water supplies, Vermont banned fracking last year. Vermont Gas has stated that the proposed pipeline would carry fracked gas into our state, leaving citizens with an ethical contradiction.

Shall we consume fracked gas, thus doing irreparable damage to those living in other communities and our shared global water supply, when we have deemed it unsafe in our own state? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Economic Goodâ&#x20AC;? or Economic Gamble?

Much support for this project is due to the proposed cost savings to homeowners of using â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural gasâ&#x20AC;? instead of oil as a winter heating fuel. A TXLFN JODQFH DW WKH QXPEHUV VHHPV WR VKRZ VLJQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQW FRVW VDYLQJV )RU decades, oil and gas prices have tracked each other closely. In 2009, oil became expensive and gas became cheap. The fracking boom led to an abundant supply of gas with little infrastructure in place to sell it.

However, fracking is a fairly new market, and increasing evidence is showing that these wells are drying up faster than previously estimated. As more pipelines connect to more markets, including international exports of fracked gas, the supply decreases while demand increases. As our local dairy farmers well know, less supply and more demand make for higher prices â&#x20AC;&#x201C; good for milk, bad for fuel bills.

Do we gamble on fracked gas prices staying low? According to the Thermal (IĂ&#x20AC;FLHQF\ 7DVN )RUFH UHSRUW IURP DGGLQJ LQVXODWLRQ DQG DLU VHDOLQJ RXU KRPHV FDQ VDYH SHU \HDU RQ RXU HQHUJ\ ELOOV WKXV DOORZLQJ UHOLDEOH savings on the way to putting a renewable energy infrastructure into place.

Is it economically more reliable to invest in weatherization projects or to gamble on fracked gas remaining cheap given changing supply and demand? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vermont Gas Systemsâ&#x20AC;? or Canadian-owned Vermont Gas? The company seeking to deliver the fracked gas pipeline is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vermont Gas Systems.â&#x20AC;?

THIS IS NOT A DONE DEAL; ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS. Vermont Gas would have us believe that the pipeline project is a done deal.

Their letter to landowners is declarative of this as fact. Their informational meetings continue to be conducted as if this were true, allowing for no greater choice than between one proposed pipeline route and another. ,I REWDLQLQJ D &HUWLĂ&#x20AC;FDWH RI 3XEOLF *RRG LV WR KDYH OHJLWLPDF\ WKHQ WKH process has to include the genuine possibility that there may be no pipeline. The reality is that this process is open to discussion, deliberation and decision on the part of the citizens of Vermont.

A shared objective among consumers, government and gas company representatives is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Vermont Gas promotes â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural gasâ&#x20AC;? as a clean alternative to oil, stating that the pipeline will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 300,000 tons over 20 years.

larger  bond  also  received  backing.  Again,  voters  said  no,  820-­671,  to  the  $4.2  million  plan,  and  1,107-­376  WR WKH ÂżHOG DQG WUDFN Now,  Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien  said,  the  board  wants  to  see  what  absolutely  must  get  taken  care  of.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  trying  to  make  sure  that  they  focus  on  the  must-­dos,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

This  is  the  11th  year  in  a  row  that  students  at  North  Branch  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  QRQSURÂżW LQGHSHQGHQW PLGGOH VFKRRO in  Ripton  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  have  developed  their  own  play.  Last  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  North  Branch  School  play  was  titled,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soul  Survivors: Â

The  backdrop  for  this  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  offering  LV D ÂżFWLWLRXV SULVRQ WKDW 1RUWK %UDQFK School  head  teacher  Tal  Birdsey  said  is  patterned  after  a  former  jail  in  Ottawa  that  has  been  repurposed  into  a  hostel.  Students  stayed  at  that  hostel  GXULQJ D UHFHQW ÂżHOG WULS â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  play  is  about  being  stuck  in  this  prison,  seeing  if  (the  students)  can  get  out  or  not,â&#x20AC;?  said  Birdsey,  who  will  direct  the  play.

He  explained  the  student  actors/ playwrights  imagined  themselves  in  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad  Worldâ&#x20AC;?  as  petty  criminals  who  mature  as  human  beings  during Â

their  elusive  quest  for  parole.  The  three-­hour  play  includes  farcical  moments  interspersed  with  some  seri-­ ous  moments.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad  Worldâ&#x20AC;?  includes  some  songs,  poems  and  some  great  dialogue  through  which  the  students  tackle  philosophical  questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  a  potpourri  of  everything  we  have  been  studying  this  year,â&#x20AC;?  Birdsey  said.  The  theme  of  this  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  curricu-­ lum  at  the  school  is  â&#x20AC;&#x153;utopia.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad  Worldâ&#x20AC;?  features  50  charac-­ ters,  so  some  of  the  28  students  will  be  performing  multiple  roles.

Rep.  Willem  Jewett,  D-­Ripton,  is  House  majority  leader  and  also  a  member  of  the  House  Fish,  Wildlife  and  Water  Resources  Committee  that  voted  H.526  out  by  an  8-­1  tally.  He  said  a  majority  of  the  panel  agreed  that  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  shorelands  should  be  better  protected,  but  also  reasoned  that  towns  should  be  allowed  to  lead  the  effort.  It  is  for  that  reason  that  the  bill  includes  the  option  for  towns  to  develop  their  own  shoreland  protection  bylaws  by  Jan.  1  of  2015,  according  to  Jewett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  agree  there  should  be  local  control  and  the  bill  has  been  changed  to  allow  for  that,â&#x20AC;?  Jewett  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  like  to  think  in  the  House  that  we  stand  strongly  behind  our  position.â&#x20AC;?

Rep.  Betty  Nuovo,  D-­Middlebury,  is  a  member  of  the  House  Natural  Re-­ sources  and  Energy  Committee.  She  applauded  the  environmental  aspects  of  H.526,  particularly  its  emphasis  on  maintaining  vegetation  to  prevent  bad  substances  from  getting  into  the  lakes.  Nuovo  pointed  to  state  statistics  indi-­ cating  that  a  100-­foot  vegetated  buffer  absorbs  73  percent  of  runoff,  while  a  lawn  only  absorbs  18  percent.  Those  statistics  also  suggest  that  a  cleared  shoreline  is  subject  to  18  times  more  VHGLPHQW ÂżYH WLPHV PRUH UXQRII DQG seven  times  more  phosphorous  con-­ tamination  than  a  shoreline  with  trees  and  vegetation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People  are  putting  all  kinds  of  things  on  their  lawns  to  make  them  grow  better,  and  that  gets  into  your  lake,â&#x20AC;?  Nuovo  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  you  have  enough  people  around  the  lake  doing  that,  you  ruin  the  lake.â&#x20AC;?

Nine  hours  later.... â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey,  Mom,  morning.â&#x20AC;?

No  one  answered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom.â&#x20AC;?

Still  no  answer.  Jordan  got  up  and  looked  in  the  mirror  and  screamed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;AHHHHHH!  I  am  so  old!!  Soon  I  will  get  all  wrinkly  like  Grandma!â&#x20AC;?

Jordan  went  downstairs  and  suddenly  she  found  out  she  was  living  by  herself.  Jordan  soon  realized  that  living  by  her-­ self  was  a  good  thing.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey,  this  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  so  bad  after  all.  No  annoying  three  brothers  to  handle,  Mom  not  telling  me  what  to  do,  huh,  my  own  cell  phone.  Yay!  I  am  going  to  text  Ashley!â&#x20AC;?

Then  Jordan  went  out  to  Dairy  Queen  for  some  ice  cream,  and  everyone  called  her  Mrs.!  Then  Jordan  went  out  to  do  a  lot  of  fun  stuff.  Later,  she  went  home  and  took  a  nap.  When  she  woke  up  she  yelled,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;MOM?!â&#x20AC;?  and  Mom  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah?â&#x20AC;?

Jordan  realized  she  was  9  again!  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nooooo!!!â&#x20AC;?

And  she  went  back  to  living  her  annoying  life  with  her  three  brothers,  a  weird  mom,  and  no  phone.
