By  ANDY  KIRKALDY FERRISBURGH  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Ferris-­ burgh  selectboard  at  its  April  7  meet-­ ing  passed  a  resolution,  one  that  has  circulated  among  a  number  of  Ver-­ mont  communities,  asking  state  leg-­ islators  to  amend  laws  to  give  towns  more  say  in  the  siting  of  renewable  energy  projects  during  Public  Ser-­ vice  Board  proceedings.

The  resolution  states  that  in  PSB  &HUWL¿FDWH RI 3XEOLF *RRG &3*

reviews,  the  PSBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;legal  analy-­ sisâ&#x20AC;?  allowed  the  board  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;disregard  and/or  avoid  the  policies  and  stan-­ dards  of  the  very  municipality  in  which  the  renewable  energy  project  is  to  be  located.  By  focusing  on  re-­ gional  impacts,  to  the  exclusion  of  local  municipal  impacts,  the  PSB  routinely  ignores  the  input  and  evi-­ dence  offered  by  Vermont  munici-­ palities.â&#x20AC;?

The  siting  of  solar  arrays  has  be-­ come  an  issue  around  Vermont,  es-­ pecially  in  Addison  County.  New  Haven,  in  particular,  hosts  a  dispro-­ portionate  number  of  arrays,  and  neighbors  of  a  Ferrisburgh  array  installed  by  the  Basin  Harbor  Club  are  upset  both  with  its  appearance  and  with  the  PSB  process.  Those  neighbors  have  appealed  the  array  both  to  the  PSB  and  to  the  Vermont  Supreme  Court.  Notably,  they  are  challenging  the  PSBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  le-­ gal  holding  that  immediate  neigh-­ bors  of  a  solar  array  cannot  be  con-­ sidered  â&#x20AC;&#x153;average  citizensâ&#x20AC;?  when  the  board  rules  on  whether  renewable  energy  projects  can  be  considered  offensive  or  aesthetically  unpleas-­ ing  in  an  area.  In  a  Thursday  interview,  Ferris-­ burgh  selectboard  chairman  Steve  Gutowski  said  his  board  is  â&#x20AC;&#x153;not  anti-­solar,â&#x20AC;?  but  said  â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  are  a  number  of  things  to  consider,â&#x20AC;?  in-­ cluding  the  lack  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;local  inputâ&#x20AC;?  in  the  existing  process.  Gutowski  said  he  believes  there  is  plenty  of  land  for  arrays  in  areas  that  would  not  adversely  impact  neighborhoods  and  views.  The  vote  last  week  was  4-­1  in  fa-­ vor  of  the  resolution,  with  Gutows-­ ki,  Jim  Benoit,  Red  Muir  and  Jim  Warden  in  favor.  Loretta  Lawrence  voted  against.  The  board,  with  Law-­ rence  as  chairwoman,  had  declined  to  take  a  position  on  the  Basin  Har-­ bor  array  in  2014.

The  resolution  to  which  Fer-­ risburgh  signed  on  last  week  asks  â&#x20AC;&#x153;state  representatives  and  senators  to  develop  amendments  to  the  stat-­ utes  that  concern  the  siting  and  ap-­ proval  of  renewable  energy  projects  and  to  the  procedures  of  the  PSB  in  order  to  ensure  that  Vermont  mu-­ nicipalities  have  a  more  meaning-­ IXO UROH LQ WKH &HUWLÂżFDWH RI 3XEOLF *RRG SURFHVV DQG WR UHTXLUH FRP-­ pliance  with  appropriately  devel-­ oped  municipal  siting  standards.â&#x20AC;?

5HĂ&#x20AC;HFWLRQV RQ ,' FKDQJHV Credit  the  change  in  voting  on  the  ID-­4  (Middlebury  Elementary  School)  budget  to  a  dedicated  group  of  citizens  who  took  up  the  long-­standing  issue  about  a  year  ago  and  pressed  ahead  with  a  steadfast  campaign  to  bring  it  to  a  public  vote.  Led  in  part  by  Middlebury  resident  Nancy  Malcolm,  she  and  others  sought  to  move  the  annual  meeting  to  near  Town  Meeting  Day  (instead  of  early  $SULO DQG YRWH E\ $XVWUDOLDQ EDOORW LQVWHDG RI D YRWH IURP WKH Ă&#x20AC;RRU DW WKH annual  meeting.  The  primary  reason  has  been  apparent  for  years:  Attendance  at  the  ID-­4  meetings  has  numbered  between  a  handful  or  two  up  to  two  dozen,  but  rarely  more.  When  10-­20  people  are  routinely  deciding  budgets  on  behalf  of  4,600  registered  voters,  that  is  a  system  in  which  a  demographic  government  has  largely  failed.  School  boards  over  the  past  decade  or  more  could  have  brought  these  DUWLFOHV WR D YRWH \HDUV HDUOLHU EXW QHYHU GLG IRU WZR UHDVRQV ÂżUVW WKH VWDWXV quo  gave  the  school  boards  power  to  craft  budgets  to  their  liking  and  rarely  face  challenges  from  the  public;Íž  second,  no  group  had  pressed  the  issue  to  the  point  any  board  had  to  respond.

This  time  was  different.  While  this  school  board  refused  citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  request  to  put  the  issue  on  the  ballot  for  a  public  vote  on  its  own  account,  it  did,  nonetheless,  say  it  would  be  receptive  to  a  petitioned  request.  When  citizens  gathered  the  required  number  and  presented  it  to  the  board,  even  though  there  was  apparently  a  minor  technical  shortcoming  in  the  petition,  the  board  had  the  wisdom  and  consideration  to  waive  those  concerns  and  put  the  questions  up  for  a  vote.  The  resounding  voice  vote  in  favor  of  both  issues  by  the  150  or  so  present  was  the  result  of  pent-­up  frustration  the  board  had  failed  to  recognize.  In  general,  public  boards  should  be  sensitive  to  citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  concerns  when  they  hear  about  them,  and  respond  proactively  to  address  those  issues.  Forcing  the  public  to  go  through  the  petition  process  is  certainly  within  the  boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  right,  but  when  the  issues  are  long-­standing  and  when  the  public  sentiment  LV VR RYHUZKHOPLQJ LW UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWV D WLQ HDU E\ WKH ERDUG WR QRW EH PRUH SURDFWLYH on  the  publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  behalf.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  point  to  make  only  because  the  petition  process  is  lengthy,  requires  a  small  army  of  dedicated  citizens  to  educate  others  about  the  issues,  maintain  public  interest  over  the  several  months  of  a  campaign,  and  then  get  those  citizens  to  the  annual  meeting  for  a  voice  vote.  It  is  a  process,  in  other  words,  that  is  stacked  against  public  involvement  and  for  the  board-­driven  status  quo.  The  boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  role,  in  this  respect,  should  be  to  anticipate  and  facilitate  public  sentiment,  not  present  obstacles  to  those  ideas.

That  is  not  to  say,  however,  that  this  board  has  conducted  its  primary  du-­ ties  irresponsibly.  On  the  contrary,  the  budget  as  proposed  was  overwhelm-­ ingly  endorsed,  and  past  budgets  have  been  more  than  reasonable.  But  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  tin  ear  on  this  issue  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  others  in  the  recent  past  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  that  should  make  this  board  review  its  mission  and  question  whether  its  current  approach  best  serves  the  public. *********  Some  citizens  at  the  ID-­4  annual  meeting  questioned  why  the  schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  voting  process  was  being  challenged,  but  not  the  vote  at  Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  town  meeting.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  legitimate  question,  but  mistaken  comparison  by  a  matter  of  scale.

Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  town  meeting  generally  draws  200-­250  residents,  not  7  to  25.  Surely,  more  ballots  would  be  cast  in  an  Australian  ballot  process,  but  URXWLQHO\ JHWWLQJ D FRXSOH RI KXQGUHG UHVLGHQWV WRJHWKHU IRU D IXOO Ă&#x20AC;HGJHG GHEDWH RI WKH LVVXHV DQG WR DFW DFFRUGLQJO\ RQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;RRU LV DW WKH YHU\ OHDVW D large  enough  cross-­section  of  the  community  to  be  representative  of  the  vot-­ ersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  will,  while  still  allowing  pure  democracy  to  prevail.

As  was  noted  at  the  meeting,  community  involvement  and  democratic  votes  are  the  twin  goals  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  preferable  in  a  perfect  world.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  when  the  public  body  fails  to  attract  enough  of  a  sample  to  be  reasonably  represen-­ WDWLYH WKDW LWÂśV WLPH WR ÂżQG RWKHU ZD\V WR DWWUDFW D ZLGHU DXGLHQFH 6R IDU Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  town  meeting  still  meets  a  reasonable  standard  of  representa-­ tion,  whereas  the  ID-­4  turnout  has  not  for  years.

Letters to the Editor Evergreen  Preschool  solicits  leaders,  volunteers  Tucked  away  in  a  shady  spot  on  South  Water  Street  in  Vergennes,  a  hive  of  preschool  activity  buzzes  during  the  school  year.  At  Evergreen  Preschool  children  aged  3-­5  arrive  at  school  two  or  three  days  per  week  to  have  an  opportunity  to  learn  and  grow  with  peers  in  an  environment  rich  with  energy  and  warmth.

The  cooperative  schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  mission  is:  To  be  a  progressive  leader  in  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  early  care  and  education  system  by  nurturing  the  growth  of  every  child  with  the  fundamental  belief  that  all  children  succeed  when  their  natural  thirst  for  knowledge  and Â

meaning  are  cultivated  through  play,  and  when  their  role  as  our  commu-­ nityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  youngest  citizens  is  respected  and  valued.

Our  family  has  been  part  of  the  Evergreen  community  since  2010,  and  I  have  had  the  privilege  to  serve  on  the  board  of  directors  for  the  past  three  years.  It  has  been  an  honor  to  KHOS WKH VFKRRO FRQWLQXH WR Ă&#x20AC;RXULVK Most  recently  the  board  updated  the  mission  and  vision  of  the  school,  piloted  an  extended-­day  option  (which  has  been  a  success  and  will  be  offered  in  both  programs  this  coming  fall),  expanded  our  service Â

area  to  include  children  outside  the  Addison  Northwest  Supervisory  Union  district,  and  continues  to  make  improvements  to  the  indoor  and  outdoor  space.

Most  importantly,  the  entire  Ever-­ green  community  is  always  working  to  nurture  the  play-­based,  family-­ supported  school  to  ensure  that  the  schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  vision  comes  to  fruition:  A  new  generation  of  compassionate,  creative  and  active  learners  whose  education  was  planted  and  nurtured  at  Evergreen  Preschool.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  interesting  to  see  the  latest  in-­ stallment  in  the  secular  leftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  attempt  to  bring  Christianity  to  heel  with  LWV ÂłRXWUDJH´ RYHU D UHFHQW ,QGLDQD bill,  passed  in  an  effort  to  preserve  religious  freedom.

The  secular  left  is  generally  un-­ comfortable  with  what  Christ  asks  of  us  and  is  even  more  uncomfortable  with  Christians  who  so  eagerly  follow  Him.  Their  anger  over  the  Indiana  law,  and  for  that  matter,  their  vitriol  directed  to  the  owners  of  a  small  piz-­ zeria  there,  seems  more  an  opportu-­ nistic  attack  on  traditional  Christianity  than  a  defense  of  LGBT  rights.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  as  if  the  secular  left  resents  Christians  who  have  found  Peace  through  Him  as  they  instead  search  for  a  path  to  peace  via  their  own  intel-­

lect  or  actions.  Through  their  attempts  to  delegitimize  traditional  Christian-­ ity,  they  feel  they  are  given  leave  to  search  for  an  alternative  answer  that  is  more  man-­made.  Sadly,  their  search  will  be  in  vain.

Traditional  Christians,  unfortu-­ nately,  are  all  too  familiar  with  this  W\SH RI WUHDWPHQW :KDW WKH VHFXODU left  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  understand  is  that  Chris-­ tians  have  been  persecuted  for  their  belief  for  2,000  years  and  every  attempt  to  vanquish  those  who  fol-­ low  Him  have,  and  always  will,  fail.  This  Easter  season  we  celebrate  the  risen  Christ  and  so  long  as  He  lives  Christianity  will  continue  to  live  as  well.

True  to  her  Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  birthdate  (Feb.  14,  1938),  she  was  loved  by  everyone  who  knew  her.  From  simple  acts  of  kindness,  drama  costumes,  sewing  and  art  lessons,  to  her  love  of  nature,  Justine  touched  many  lives.

Justine  graduated  from  Beeman  Academy  in  New  Haven,  Vt.,  and  attended  the  University  of  Vermont.  In  2004,  Justine  was  reunited  with  her  high  school  sweetheart,  the  love  of  her  life  and  caregiver,  Carl  Easter.

Letters to the Editor Students  advocate  for  divestment Students  around  the  world  are  rising  and  we  will  no  longer  accept  VLOHQFH 7RGD\ WKH ,QYHVWXUH 6FKRROV Coalition  for  Fossil  Fuel  Divestment  sent  a  letter  to  each  of  our  collegesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  presidents  requesting  a  meeting  be-­ tween  administrators  and  representa-­ tives  from  our  divestment  campaigns.  We  are  sending  this  letter  in  con-­ junction  with  the  National  Alumni  Escalation  for  Fossil  Fuel  Divestment  and  are  requesting  that  our  presi-­ dents  respond  by  the  culmination  of  Harvard  Heat  Week  for  Fossil  Fuel  Divestment  on  April  17.

Alumni  support  for  this  shift This  week  alumni  are  returning  to  their  respective  institutions  in  droves  to  sign  divestment  petitions  and  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long  Haul  Organizing  Pledge,â&#x20AC;?  en-­ gineered  by  the  new  Alumni  Divest-­ PHQW 1HWZRUN ,Q DGGLWLRQ DOXPQL groups  have  established  escrow  funds  in  which  they  can  provide  donations  that  will  only  be  made  accessible  to Â

their  respective  institutions  when  di-­ vestment  is  completed.  These  actions  attest  to  the  dedication  and  endurance  of  alumni  in  the  divestment  move-­ ment.  Zach  Drennen,  Middlebury  FODVV RI ZULWHV Âł,Q D WLPH ZKHQ money  is  legally  considered  speech,  continuing  to  put  our  money  in  fossil  fuel  companies  means  stating  clearly  that  we  do  not  take  climate  change  seriously.  Middlebury  rightly  values  its  image  as  an  environmental  leader,  and  it  is  past  time  for  its  actions  to  meet  that  image.â&#x20AC;?

Through  our  organizing  efforts,  we  have  seen  the  power  of  unity  within  the  climate  justice  movement,  and  we  are  dedicated  to  standing  in  solidarity  with  divestment  campaigns  across  the  country  and  world.  We  are  not  alone  in  this.  Other  divestment  campaigns,  have  formed  coalitions  to  support  each  other,  including  the  Fossil  Fuel  Divestment  Student  Net-­ ZRUN DQG WKH ,Y\ /HDJXH )RVVLO )XHO Divestment  Coalition.

Our  goals As  students  unite  in  the  call  for  divestment,  our  colleges  can-­ not  continue  business  as  usual  any  ORQJHU ,W LV WLPH WR WDNH DFWLRQ DQG we  hope  that  our  coalition  will  help  bring  students  and  administrators  together  and  harness  our  full  poten-­ tial  to  make  material  changes  for  a  sustainable  future.  As  we  continue  our  efforts  we  will  stand  in  solidarity  with  our  fellow  students  and  adhere  to  our  guiding  principles:  We  believe  that  climate  change  is  a  threat  to  the  livelihood  of  current  and  future  generations.  We  believe  the  assump-­ tion  that  fossil  fuels  are  a  necessary  part  of  a  stable  investment  portfolio  is  outdated  and  false.  We  believe  that  our  colleges  should  see  the  sustain-­ ability  of  our  planet  as  integral  to  our  academic  and  future  success;͞  for  our  future  and  the  future  of  the  planet  are  one  and  the  same.

We  hope  to  begin  an  open  dia-­ logue  with  administrators  to  create  a  mutually  agreed  upon  strategy  for  divestment.  Colleges  and  institutions  are  divesting  from  fossil  fuels  across  the  world  and  we  are  calling  on  our  colleges  to  join  the  movement  and  be  leaders  in  preserving  the  planet  for  their  students.

These  natural  and  cultural  re-­ sources  are  not  ours  to  dispose  of.  They  were  purchased  with  the  sweat  and  blood  of  our  founding  patriots  to  be  preserved  for  all  future  genera-­ tions.  We  are  merely  the  honored  custodians  of  these  treasures.

Are  we  a  sovereign  and  inde-­ pendent  state  and  nation  or  are  we  merely  a  transitional  business  enterprise?  Now  our  state  has  been  reduced  to  a  mere  commodity  available  for  foreign  or  out-­of-­state  encroachment  of  even  our  most  trea-­ sured  national  and  cultural  resource,  the  Green  Mountains,  the  very  EDFNERQH DQG GHÂżQLQJ VRXO RI WKLV state.  Vermont  must  have  a  rebirth.  A  new  beginning.  The  greatest  hope,  the  only  hope,  for  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  future  lies  in  the  restoration  of  its  past.

UVM  students  have  kept  a  constant  vigil  at  the  hospital,  waiting  to  visit  with  both  Julia  and  Dahreddin,  who  as  of  Thursday  remained  in  serious  condition.

Juliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  father  said  his  daughter  fac-­ es  a  long  rehabilitation,  but  doctors  expect  her  to  make  a  full  recovery.  In  the  next  week,  she  will  likely  move  from  the  intensive  care  unit  to  an  in-­ patient  treatment  in  a  different  area  of  the  hospital.  Mark  Rickner  said  it  is  too  early  to  estimate  when  Julia  may  be  able  to  return  home,  but  that  will  not  be  for  several  weeks.

Mager  Ricker  said  her  daughter  and  Dahreddin  took  Menke  to  Jay  Peak  to  celebrate  Menkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  upcom-­ ing  birthday,  and  that  the  students  were  acting  responsibly  at  the  time  of  the  crash.  State  police  do  not  believe  alcohol,  drugs  or  speed  were  factors  in  the  accident,  and  noted  that  every-­ one  was  wearing  a  seatbelt.  Police  suspect  Dahreddin  may  have  fallen  asleep  at  the  wheel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  doing  anything  stu-­ pid,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  were  just  three  sweet  kids  doing  something  for  one  of  them.â&#x20AC;?

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Humane Society Carlos  and  Franklin  are  two  bonded  rabbits  who  are  best  friends.  They  came  to  Homeward  Bound  after  being  surrendered  by  their  owner.

Carlos  is  a  Lop  rabbit  who  is  1½  years  old.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  big  boy;  but  very  sweet  and  gentle.  Franklin  is  a  Lionhead  whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  8  years  old.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  smaller  than  Carlos,  but  has  a  lot  of  personality  and  has  some  pep  in  his  step!

e h t W f o e e t k e P Hi, my name is Deputy Dog!

Clifford  is  a  super  cute  4  month  large  mix  breed  puppy  who  arrived  at  Homeward  Bound  as  a  stray.  He  is  very  well  behaved  for  his  age;  he  sits  and  waits  to  be  noticed  and  has  good  leash  manners.  He  could  use  some  basic  obedience  training  as  he  does  like  to  jump  and  will  be  a  big  boy  when  older.  He  loves  to  play  and  be  around  people  and  thinks  he  is  a  small  lap  dog! Â

Meet  Enya!  Enya  came  to  Homeward  Bound  as  a  stray  and  has  been  learning  to  become  more  comfortable  around  people.  She  loves  being  held  and  loves  having  her  chin  and  back  scratched!

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  great  girl  with  tons  of  potential,  she  just  needs  someone  to  be  able  to  go  slow  with  her  and  take  their  time  get  getting  to  know  her.  Once  she  becomes  comfortable  with  you  sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  completely  different  cat,  ready  to  be  loved  and  snuggled  with! Â

We adopted Deputy Dog from North Country Animal League

Fuzzy  is  a  beautiful  8½  year  old  who  arrived  at  Homeward  Bound  with  two  of  her  housemates.  They  were  brought  to  the  shelter  after  being  surrendered  by  their  owner.

6KH FDQ EH D OLWWOH VK\ ZKHQ Âż UVW PHHWLQJ her.  She  loves  to  be  pet  and  brushed  though,  which  is  a  good  way  to  show  her  you  want  to  be  her  friend.  Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  lived  with  other  cats  and  would  do  great  in  a  home  with  other  feline  companions!

â&#x20AC;Śabout 3 years ago now. They guesstimated his age then was about 2 years old, but were not sure because he was found wandering the streets along the Canadian border for quite awhile. It took him some time to warm up to the kids but he quickly settled into becoming our sweet, quirky buddy. He enjoys taking Mom for walks, but NOT when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rainy or is snowy! He has a crush on our neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog and glances toward Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Nero!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  as  a  stray  in  March.  :KHQ , Âż UVW JRW KHUH , ZDV VK\ DQG uninterested  in  meeting  new  people.  But  once  I  realized  everyone  was  friendly,  I  opened  up  and  am  quite  outgoing  now!  I  love  getting  attention;  having  my  chin  scratched  and  being  brushed  are  my  favorites!  If  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  looking  for  a  feline  companion  whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sweet  &  affectionate,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  the  guy  for  you!

Piggles  is  a  super  cute  6  month  old  Teddy  Bear  Hamster!  She  came  to  Homeward  Bound  after  being  transferred  from  another  shelter  in  Vermont.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  very  friendly  and  has  been  socialized.  She  likes  to  be  held  and  pet  and  KDV D QRVH WKDWÂśOO WLFNOH \RXU Âż QJHUV ZKHQ she  sniffs  you.

If  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  like  to  meet  Piggles,  stop  by  the  shelter  today.  She  loves  being  able  to  get  out  of  her  cage  to  meet  new  people!! Â

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to include your pet as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pet of the Weekâ&#x20AC;? simply include your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, gender, approximate age (if you know it), along with comments about the petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite activities, your favorite activity with the pet, what the pet enjoys eating, and any particular

the backyard fence each time he goes out. True to doggy form, he adores stopping by each hydrant and loathes our letter carrier. Deputy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize he is a small breed (suspected shih tzupoodle mix), but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell him that! He truly believes in his fuzzy heart that he is the biggest dog in Bristol.

Uncertainty  among  pet  owners  about  which  product  to  use  and  economic  factors  are  fueling  the  confusion.  Generic  heartworm  preventives  can  now  be  found  in  many  human  pharmacies  and  online  pet  pharmacies  are  offering  six  to  10  different  medications  to  the  public.  Frankly,  it  is  hard  for  a  pet  owner  to  know  which  is  best  for  their  pet.  Some  of  these  medications  are  also  effec-­ tive  against  intestinal  parasites,  such  as  roundworms,  hookworms,  and  whipworms.  A  few  of  these  preven-­ tives  are  also  now  using  compounds  to  treat  tapeworms  in  addition  to  the  other  parasites.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  even  possible  to  get  heartworm  preventive  that  also  LQFOXGHV PHDQV WR KHOS FRQWURO Ă&#x20AC; HDV There  are  collars,  topical,  oral  medi-­ cations,  and  powders  available  online  IRU Ă&#x20AC; HD DQG WLFN SUHYHQWLRQ WRR Products  on  the  Internet  may  be  less  expensive,  but  it  so  important  for  you  not  to  fall  for  advice  in  online  forums  that  recommend  oddball  alternative  methods  of  protecting  your  pets  against  any  parasite.  These  sites  often  misinterpret  data  or  are  actively  promoting  products  that  have  not  gone  through  proper  testing  and  safety  research.  Remember,  the  Internet  is  not  policed  for  accuracy:  anyone  can  make  a  claim,  whether  it  is  true  or  not.  Some  of  these  parasites  can  be  fatal  to  your  pet  and  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  trust  an  unproven  or  possibly  fraudulent  preventative.  There  have  been  instances  of  fraudulent  products  sold  online  under  brand  names  that  you  trust,  and  for  this  reason  the  drug  companies  will  not  stand  by  their  JXDUDQWHHV RI HIÂż FDF\ LI WKHLU SURGXFW has  been  purchased  online.  In  addi-­ tion  some  products  for  dogs  can  be  fatal  to  cats.

Veterinarians  follow  these  trends  every  year.  They  couple  this  infor-­ mation  with  their  understanding  of  the  parasitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  life  cycles,  knowledge  RI \RXU SHWÂśV VSHFLÂż F PHGLFDO FRQGL tions,  the  reputation  of  the  drug  manufacturers  and  your  region  of  the  country.  Certain  parasites  are  less  common  in  some  areas  of  the  country  and  your  petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  risk  factors  vary  quite  a  bit.  These  risk  factors  also  include  exposure  to  parasites  through  trips  to  dog  parks,  hiking  or  camping,  interstate  travel  or  even  the  presence  of  other  animals  in  the  household. Â

Veterinarians  are  best  equipped  to  help  you  understand  exactly  which  product  provides  the  best  parasite  protection  for  your  pet  and  your  family.

This  is  an  area  of  pet  care  where  we  have  made  great  advances,  but  bad  advice  and  a  confusing  market  have  created  unnecessary  risks  and  vulnerabilities.  Trust  your  petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  healthcare  advice  to  your  family  veterinarian  and  team.  They  know  your  petsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  health  status,  lifestyle,  and  risk  of  various  parasites  and  are  in  the  best  position  to  give  accurate  advice.

Homeward  Bound

Tip  of  the  Week Spring  means  many  things  that  smell  good  and  one  of  them  is  not  skunks.  However,  as  any  dog  owner  knows,  skunks  are  synonymous  with  spring,  so  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  like  to  share  a  favor-­ ite  recipe  for  deodorizing  your  dog.

The  quantities  here  will  wash  a Â

medium  to  large  dog  so  please  adjust  accordingly  and  be  very  careful  to  steer  clear  of  eyes,  ears  and  noses:  1  (16-­ounce)  bottle  hydrogen  perox-­ ide;͞  1/4  cup  baking  soda;͞  1  dash  shampoo  or  1  dash  liquid  Dawn  dish  soap.  Happy  hiking!
