By  ZACH  DESPART ADDISON  COUNTY  —  Dairy  farmers  in  Addison  County  and  across  Vermont  are  weathering  a  VLJQL¿FDQW GHFUHDVH LQ WKH ZKROHVDOH price  of  bulk  milk,  a  trend  that  shows  no  sign  of  reversing.

And  what  a  difference  a  year  can  make.  The  price  per  hundredweight  of  milk  peaked  last  year  in  New  Eng-­ land  at  more  than  $25,  an  all-­time  record.  This  month  farmers  expect  to  be  paid  about  $16  per  hundred-­ weight,  or  cwt,  a  unit  of  measure  that  equals  about  11  gallons.

The  price  of  milk  has  long  been  volatile,  and  dairy  farmers  do  their  best  to  anticipate  price  swings  and  plan  accordingly. “We’ve  been  experiencing  these  ÀXFWXDWLRQV DERXW HYHU\ PRQWKV or  so,â€?  said  Marie  Audet  of  Blue  Spruce  Farm  in  Bridport.  “We’ve  become  quite  resilient,  and  we  try  to  plan  for  it.â€?

By  ZACH  DESPART MONKTON  —  The  Monkton  Central  School  board  on  Thursday  evening  warned  for  voter  consider-­ ation  a  new  spending  proposal  that  shifts  resources  within  the  school  without  increasing  the  size  of  the  budget.

“I had been wanting to do a solar installation and had started to gather some equipment. Once I realized that micro inverters are the way to go, I found out that the panels I had would not work with them. I had to start looking around again. Then I realized that Bristol Electronics, the company I’ve known all these years and trust with my electronic needs, was also in the solar business. They came down and checked out the QHZ JDUDJH WKDW , KDG EXLOW VSHFL¿FDOO\ WR SODFH VRODU SDQHOV RQ DQG gave me a price that was comparable to installing it myself.

Editorial Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hasty  retreat

The  irony  in  Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hasty  retreat  from  its  recently  passed  â&#x20AC;&#x153;religious  freedomâ&#x20AC;?  law  is  that  it  was  largely  led  by  Republican  businessmen,  Cham-­ ber  of  Commerce  leaders  and  legislators  who  realized  the  bigotry  of  the  law  would  be  damaging  to  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  bottom  line.  In  the  Republican  arsenal  of  values-­based  politics,  in  this  case  money  trumped  religion.

And  it  did  so  in  a  comparative  nanosecond.  While  Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;religious  freedomâ&#x20AC;?  law  was  introduced  in  the  state  legislature  just  this  January,  passed  two  Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ago  and  reversed  a  week  later,  its  genesis  harkens  back  to  2009  when  religious  conservatives  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  an  alliance  of  Roman  Catholic  archbishops  and  evangelical  Christians  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  adopted  what  became  known  as  the  Manhattan  Manifesto,  which  declared  that  those  churches  and  their  congregations  would  not  cooperate  with  any  laws  they  said  would  â&#x20AC;&#x153;compel  their  institutions  to  participate  in  abortions,  or  to  bless  or  in  any  way  recognize  same-­sex  couples,â&#x20AC;?  according  to  a  story  in  the  Nov.  20,  2009,  issue  of  the  New  York  Times.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  pledge  to  each  other,  and  to  our  fellow  believers,  that  no  power  on  earth,  be  it  cultural  or  political,  will  intimidate  us  into  silence  or  acquiescence,â&#x20AC;?  according  to  a  Times  report  quoting  the  manifesto,  which  was  released  prominently  at  the  National  Press  Club,  the  Times  wrote,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;to  rejuvenate  the  political  alliance  of  conservative  Catholics  and  evangelicals  that  dominated  the  religious  debate  during  the  administration  of  President  George  W.  Bush.â&#x20AC;?

How  quickly  we  forget  the  political  priorities  of  that  Republican  administration  and  the  conservatives  who  then  dominated  the  nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  political  discourse.  In  that  era  this  issue  was  cloaked  under  the  veil  of  religious  freedom,  but  drew  its  fervor  from  the  roots  of  discrimination:  fear,  misunderstanding  and  hate.

The  manifesto  was  a  signal  to  newly  elected  President  Barack  Obama  and  to  Congress  that  the  religious  conservatives  were  still,  the  Times  wrote,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;a  formidable  force  that  would  not  compromise  on  abortion,  stem-­cell  research  or  gay  marriage.â&#x20AC;?  Furthermore,  the  Times  wrote,  the  alliance  wanted  â&#x20AC;&#x153;younger  Christians  who  have  become  engaged  in  issues  like  climate  change  and  global  poverty,  and  who  are  more  accepting  of  KRPRVH[XDOLW\ WKDQ WKHLU HOGHUVÂŤ WKDW DERUWLRQ KRPRVH[XDOLW\ DQG religious  freedom  are  still  paramount  issues.  â&#x20AC;Ś  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  hoping  to  educate  them  that  these  are  the  three  most  important  issues.â&#x20AC;?  That  was  just  six  years  ago.

What  has  happened  since  2009  is  the  religious  right  lost  its  voice,  while  the  same-­sex  marriage  community  gained  a  stronger  voice  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  particularly  though  Supreme  Court  rulings.  The  Windsor  case  in  2013  was  a  turning  point.  It  required  the  federal  government  to  recognize  same-­sex  marriages  from  states  that  allowed  such  unions.  6LQFH WKHQ FRQVHUYDWLYHV KDYH EHHQ ÂżJKWLQJ EDFN QRWDEO\ E\ SDVVLQJ a  slew  of  state-­sponsored  â&#x20AC;&#x153;religious  freedom  laws.â&#x20AC;?  Today,  20  states  have  such  laws  on  the  books,  12  in  just  the  past  year.

Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  religious  freedom  law,  however,  was  one  of  the  nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  most  expansive  and  the  state  did  not  have  civil  rights  protections  for  sexual  orien-­ tation  and  gender  identity  as  do  most  other  states.

It  was  that  lack  of  protection  for  those  citizens  that  tipped  the  tables.  Sud-­ GHQO\ WKH 1&$$ WRXUQDPHQW ZDV ORRPLQJ DQG 1&$$ RI¿FLDOV FRQGHPQHG the  law  as  did  national  corporations  such  as  Apple  and  other  Silicon  Valley  leaders,  as  did  the  Indiana  Chamber  of  Commerce.  THE  FRAMING  AROUND  a  window  barely  hangs  together  on  the  side  of  an  old  barn  in  Salisbury.

By  Thursday,  Republican  legislators  and  conservative  Republican  Gov.  Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell Mike  Pence  conceded  to  public  pressure  and  changed  the  law.  Conservative  Christians  are  fuming  and  unsettled  by  the  setback,  but  there  LV FRPPRQ JURXQG $OO VHHP WR DJUHH ZLWK ELJ PRQH\ OHDGLQJ WKH FRQYHUVD-­ WLRQ IRU FRQVHUYDWLYHV WKDW EODWDQW GLVFULPLQDWLRQ DJDLQVW SHRSOH EDVHG RQ gender,  color,  nationality  or  sexual  preference  is  not  to  be  condoned.  Where  WKH KDJJOLQJ UHPDLQV LV ZKHQ D VHUYLFH SURYLGHU VD\ D ZHGGLQJ VLQJHU RU ZHGGLQJ FDWHUHU GRHV QRW KDYH WKH ULJKW WR VD\ QR WR D FXVWRPHU ZKR UH-­ quests  their  services.  But  then,  how  does  that  differ  from  refusing  to  serve  a  customer  in  a  restaurant?  The  hard  lesson  here  is  that  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  always  about  us;Íž  sometimes  how  we  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  writing  regarding  John  nor  whether  he  supports  the  fracked  that  he  consider  new  studies  and  treat  the  other  person  is  most  important.

Addison  Independent,  Monday,  April  6,  2015  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  PAGE  5

Legislature  missing  mark  on  solar Last  week  there  was  a  public  hearing  in  front  of  a  joint  Vermont  House  and  Senate  Energy  Com-­ mittee,  in  Montpelier.  At  issue  was  the  degree  to  which  there  should  be  any  regulation  on  the  development  of  solar  energy  in  Vermont,  and  what  jurisdiction  should  be  respon-­ sible  for  the  regulations  should  there  be  any.  The  contentious  siting  issue  is  a  byproduct  of  legislation  (Section  248)  that  empowers  the  Vermont  Public  Service  Board  to  approve  solar  projects  without  regard  to  local  zoning  rules  and  town  plans.

The  implementation  of  the  legislation  enabling  the  roll-­out  of  solar  energy  projects  in  Vermont  has  created  a  wedge  issue  that  pits  people  who  have  a  near-­religious  view  of  climate  change  against  other  citizens  who  see  the  issue  as  compromising  what  they  believe  are  God-­given  property  rights  as  Americans  and  citizens  of  Ver-­ PRQW ,W VHWV D \RXQJHU JHQHUDWLRQ of  renters  against  an  older  genera-­ tion  of  property  owners.

Many  of  the  people  advocat-­ ing  for  absolutely  no  regulation  of  the  siting  of  solar  projects  were  under  the  age  of  30,  an  age  below  ZKLFK PRVW IRONV PD\ ÂżQG LW KDUG to  amass  enough  money  to  buy  a  home.  For  most  people  who  own  a  home,  it  is  their  largest  single  investment,  so  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  natural  to  expect  WKHP WR ÂżJKW IRU VRPH UHJXODWLRQV to  protect  the  value  of  their  homes.

By  negating  the  most  important  protection  homeowners  had  for  de-­ fending  the  value  of  their  property  (zoning  laws),  the  implementa-­ tion  of  solar  energy  development  through  Section  248  via  the  PSB  has  created  angst  and  chaos.  That Â

legislation  created  an  imbalance  in  our  society  in  which  younger  citi-­ zens  with  deep  (and  appropriate)  feelings  about  the  environment,  but  without  the  perspective  of  home  ownership,  are  taking  a  free-­rider  position  in  the  debate  about  solar  implementation  versus  homeown-­ ers  who  may  care  deeply  about  cli-­ mate  change  but  feel  threatened  by  the  solar  implementation  process.

We  used  to  have  a  social  contract  by  which  neighbors  could  live  peaceably  side  by  side.  This  con-­ tract  is  being  shredded  before  our  H\HV ,Q D QXPEHU RI FRPPXQLWLHV legislative  inaction  in  Montpelier  has  given  neighbors  reasons  to  fear  one  another.

By  doing  nothing  to  bridge  the  distance  between  the  opposing  camps,  legislators  have  allowed  positions  harden  into  a  win-­or-­ lose  battle  in  which  there  is  no  give  on  either  side.  The  issue  has  deteriorated  into  a  binary  tug  of  war;͞  either  one  is  for  solar  as  an  intelligent  way  to  combat  climate  change,  or  one  is  against  the  solar  implementation  process  and  is  a  knucklehead.  One  is  either  for  no  regulations  on  solar  projects,  or  one  is  for  total  local  control.  The  reality  is  that  this  not  an  either/or  issue.  Folks  in  the  Statehouse  in  Montpelier  have  been  derelict  in  their  duties  by  not  creating  legisla-­ tion  that  would  create  a  middle  ground  acceptable  to  both  sides  of  the  debate.

Our  legislators  need  to  take  action  on  siting  standards  now.  Put-­ ting  off  legislation  for  another  year  will  simply  result  in  deepening  the  divide  in  the  community.

We  are,  as  Kaplan  and  Smith  state  about  their  own  commentary,  living  in  a  time  of  extreme  paradoxes.  As  Vermonters  we  value  our  working  and  natural  landscapes  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  our  view  sheds,  our  access  to  forested  trails  to  reach  mountaintops,  our  small  village  settlements.  Most  of  us  have  settled  here  because  we  value  these  pristine  features,  choosing  to  live  within  this  postcard  vs.  just  seeing  it  in  photos  or  from  the  occasional  vacation.  But,  lest  we  forget,  our  settling  here  (whether  in  1710  or  2010)  resulted  in  a  divvied  up  landscape.  We  built  houses  by  carving  up  meadows  for  driveways,  wells  and  septic  systems.  We  removed  trees  (or  even  clear  cut)  rights  of  way  for  electric  transmission  lines  to  con-­ nect  power  and  phone  to  our  houses  and  businesses,  as  well  as  for  roads  connecting  our  homes  to  town.  Heck,  we  even  disrupted  our  rivers  DQG ÂżVK KDELWDW IRU DQ H[WHQVLYH system  of  dams  from  which  we  draw  some  of  our  power.  Depending  upon  your  perspec-­

ADDISON COUNTY

Ideas  offered  to  improve  public  school  education  7KDQN \RX IRU IRXU ÂżQH DUWLFOHV about  whether  or  not  to  close  small  schools  in  Vermont  and  the  expres-­ sion  of  northeast  Addison  Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ODFN RI FRQÂżGHQFH LQ WKH $GGLVRQ Northeast  Supervisory  Union  board  and  its  superintendent.  It  strikes  me  that  a  thread  of  a  common  assump-­ tion  runs  through  the  issues  raised  in  these  four  articles:  the  primary  im-­ portance  of  cutting  education  costs.

As  educators  who  have  taught  Addison  County  children  for  over  40  years,  we  are  becoming  numbed  and  exhausted  by  the  persistence  of  that  assumption.  Our  childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  education  VKRXOG EH RXU ÂżUVW SULRULW\ QRW RXU last.  As  we  are  faced  with  diminishing  numbers  of  students  in  our  schools,  we  could  grasp  the  opportunity  to  turn  the  whole  â&#x20AC;&#x153;systemâ&#x20AC;?  upside  down,  to  dream  big,  to  ask  ourselves,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;What  if  we  put  our  kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  education  ¿UVW" :KDW FRXOG WKDW ORRN OLNH"´ First  of  all,  what  if  we  did  away  with  the  cumbersome  organizations  we  have  created:  the  superinten-­ GHQWÂśV RIÂżFH WKH VFKRRO ERDUGV WKH teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  union?  They  are  manifesta-­ tions  of  our  belief  in  scarcity  and  of  our  lack  of  trust  in  each  other.  Second,  do  away  with  standardized  testing.  Instead,  trust  teachers  to  know,  and  communicate  to  parents,  how  each  child  is  progressing.

What  if  we  trusted  our  teachers  to  run  the  schools?  What  if  we  paid  all  teachers  according  to  a  statewide Â

scale  commensurate  with  other  SURIHVVLRQDO LQFRPHV DQG EHQH¿WV" What  if  we  kept  our  schools  small  and  local  so  teachers  can  attend  to  individual  children?  Abundant  educational  research  and  our  own  experience  with  excellent  small  schools,  like  the  Lincoln  Community  School,  show  that  the  most  impor-­ tant  contribution  toward  learning  is  individual  attention.

What  if  leadership  became  a  shared  activity,  rather  than  one  delegated  to  a  principal  or  a  su-­ perintendent?  What  if  parents  and  community  members  manifested  their  responsibility  toward  their  chil-­ drenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  education  by  being  personally  involved?  Groups  of  parents  and  teachers  can  discuss  face-­to-­face  how  the  school  is  working  in  its  own  community.  What  if  that  group  of  parents  and  teachers  were  respon-­ VLEOH IRU KLULQJ DQG ÂżULQJ LWV RZQ schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  teachers?

What  if  we  changed  to  a  county-­ ZLGH GLVWULFW ZKRVH FHQWUDO RI¿FH was  led  by  a  resource  coordinator  rather  than  a  superintendent?  This  person  would  be  responsible  for  making  sure  that  all  schools  had  ap-­ propriate  supplies,  non-­teaching  staff  and  traveling  teachers  (all  teachers  other  than  classroom  teachers).  It  would  be  a  job  for  someone  adept  at  organization  and  scheduling.

Much  has  been  made  of  teaching  â&#x20AC;&#x153;21st-­centuryâ&#x20AC;?  skills,  cooperation, Â

communication  and  collaboration,  to  our  children.  What  if  we  began  by  using  those  skills  in  our  community  to  create  a  new  educational  culture,  one  built,  not  on  a  model  of  scarcity,  but  one  built  on  trust  and  mutual  respect?

I  can  already  hear  the  snorts  of  derision  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very  pretty.  But  how  do  you  pay  for  it?â&#x20AC;?  True,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  much  harder.  To  do  that  well  we  will  have  to  work  toward  a  time  when,  in  the  words  of  that  old  poster  from  the  1960s,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our  schools  have  the  money  they  need  and  the  Air  Force  has  to  have  bake  sales  to  pay  for  a  bomb-­ er.â&#x20AC;?  What  if  education  budgets  were  created  collaboratively  by  teachers,  parents  and  county  legislative  rep-­ resentatives?  If  we  begin  small  and  ORFDOO\ DQG ZH VHH WKH EHQHÂżW IRU our  children,  perhaps  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  have  the  courage  to  lead  the  whole  country  to  changing  our  values.  What  if  our  income  tax  money  paid  for  our  most  important  investment  in  the  future,  our  childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  education,  instead  of  weapons  of  destruction?

Vermont  Health  Connect  is  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  health  insurance  exchange.

But  there  are  205  Addison  County  children  18  and  younger  who  remain  uninsured,  Clark  noted,  largely  be-­ cause  they  are  part  of  households  that  make  slightly  more  than  the  threshold  needed  to  qualify  them  for  health  care  coverage  through  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Dr.  Dynasaur  program.

7KHVH ¿QGLQJV DUH LQFOXGHG LQ WKH 2014  Vermont  Household  Health  Insurance  Survey,  commissioned  by  the  Vermont  Department  of  Fi-­ nancial  Regulation  Insurance  Divi-­ sion.  The  recently  released  survey  was  initiated,  in  part,  to  measure  the  health  insurance  coverage  status  of  Vermonters.

Clark  noted  all  of  the  uninsured  children  in  Addison  County  appear  to  be  part  of  households  earning  be-­ tween  300  percent  and  399  percent  of  the  federal  poverty  guideline.  That  translates  to  roughly  $71,550  to  $95,400  annually  for  a  family  of  four,  according  to  VHC  information.

Clark  explained  that  children  in  households  earning  less  than  317  percent  of  the  federal  poverty  guide-­ line  can  qualify  for  Dr.  Dynasaur,  a  health  insurance  plan  for  children  of  low-­income  households.

At  the  same  time,  statistics  pro-­ vided  by  the  Vermont  Department  of  Health  show  that  Dr.  Dynasaur  insurance  is  reaching  all  of  the  Addi-­ son  County  children  who  are  eligible  to  receive  it.  Navigators  like  Clark  helped  sign  up  a  substantial  456  new  enrollees  in  Dr.  Dynasaur  between  2012  and  2014,  for  a  total  of  2,247. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  looks  like  in  Addison  County,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  done  a  tremendous  job  of  get-­ ting  all  the  kids  who  qualify  for  Dr.  Dynasaur  on  to  that  program,â&#x20AC;?  Clark  said.

Â&#x2021;  If  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  crossing  signal,  it  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  necessarily  mean  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  train.  Always  expect  a  train  and  be  sure  to  look  both  ways  and  listen. Â&#x2021;  Always  stop  and  wait  until  the  train  passes  when  gates  are  lowered  or  lights  Ă&#x20AC;DVKLQJ DQG PDNH VXUH DOO WUDFNV DUH FOHDU before  proceeding.  Even  in  Vermont,  there  may  be  more  than  one. Â&#x2021;  Never  try  to  beat  the  train.  They  are  often  closer  and  moving  faster  than  you  think.  Trains  may  take  a  mile  or  more  to  stop,  and  can  rarely  stop  before  hitting  you.

Â&#x2021; ,I \RXU YHKLFOH EHFRPHV VWXFN RQ WKH tracks  and  a  train  approaches,  abandon  it  and  run  away  from  the  railroad  tracks.  Avoid  being  injured  by  your  vehicle  when  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hit  by  the  train. Â&#x2021;  Remember  that  train  tracks  are  not  pedestrian  walkways.  A  train  can  arrive  at  any  time  and  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  always  be  heard.  Cross  tracks  only  at  a  designated  crossing,  and  wait  well  back  from  the  tracks  for  the  train  to  pass,  then  check  to  be  sure  there  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  another  train  before  crossing.

to  avoid  getting  a  wheel  stuck  on  the  tracks.  If  necessary,  dismount  and  walk  the  bike  across  when  all  is  clear.

Never  play  chicken  with  a  train!  They  cannot  stop  quickly  or  swerve  to  avoid  hitting  us;Íž  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  our  job  to  stay  safely  out  of  their  way.

TEST  YOUR  STRUTS  Pushing  down  on  a  fender  and  counting  the  bounces  is  not  a  good  test  for  the  shocks  and  struts  on  modern  cars.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some  people  are  happy  that  their  struts  seem  to  be  lasting  forever  but  they  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  realize  that  the  struts  actually  wore  out  thousands  of  miles  ago,â&#x20AC;?  says  Taylor.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bad  struts  lead  to  unnecessary  wear  on  a  whole  slew Â

of  additional  parts  including  the  brakes,  rubber  boots,  suspension  bushings  and  engine  mounts.â&#x20AC;?  For  the  safest  handling  and  braking,  replace  your  struts  and  shocks  at  50,000  miles  or  at  the  mileage  recommended  by  the  manufacturer.

MORE  THAN  THE  BELT  Modern  engine  belts  last  a  long  time.  Most  car  owners  do  not  resist  when  their  mechanic  tells  them  it  is  time  to  replace  the  belts  after  many  miles  or  years.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Owners  should  listen  to  their  mechanics  when  they  are  told  the  belt  tensioners  need  to  be  replaced  along  with  the  belt,â&#x20AC;?  says  Taylor.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those  are  the  spring-­loaded  pulleys  that  keep  the  belt  at  the  correct  tension.  Putting  a  new  belt  on  old  tensioners  can  mean  premature  wear  on  the  new  belt  or  damage  to  the  alternator  or  other  components  spun  by  the  belt.â&#x20AC;?

College  set  to  host  feminism  conference MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Gensler  Family  Symposium  on  Feminism  in  a  Global  Context  will  take  place  April  13-­17.  Supported  with  gener-­ ous  funds  from  the  Gensler  family,  this  annual  conference  is  part  of  the  Program  in  Gender,  Sexuality  &  Feminist  Studies  and  this  year  will  be  co-­sponsored  by  the  Center  for  the  Comparative  Study  of  Race  &  Ethnicity  at  Middlebury  College.  An  exciting  week  of  events  with  speak-­ HUV DQG ÂżOPV LV SODQQHG FXOPLQDWLQJ in  a  full-­day  conference  on  April  17.  The  conference  is  open  to  all.

This  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  theme  is  a  meditation  on  what  feminism  can  say  about  mass  incarceration,  the  policing  of  poor  communities,  and  the  highly  radicalized  violence  the  state  com-­ mits  over  and  over  again.  Racial  hierarchies  have  been  built  upon  gender  binaries  since  the  birth  of  modernity.  The  hyper-­masculiniza-­ tion  of  black  and  Latino  communi-­ ties  and  marking  them  as  dangerous  goes  alongside  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;racial  inno-­ cenceâ&#x20AC;?  of  a  white  state.  Whatever  response  comes  after  Ferguson,  after  Trayvon  Martin,  after  Eric  Garner,  after  Tamir  Rice,  after  decades  of  a  war  on  the  poor,  they  must  include  feminismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  inter-­ sectional  analysis  of  how  race  and Â

gender,  class  and  nation,  space  and  sexuality  work  together  to  punish  some  bodies  in  the  name  of  protect-­ ing  others.

The  week  kicks  off  on  Monday,  April  13,  at  7  p.m.  in  the  Crossroads  CafĂŠ,  with  a  student  event  titled  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Punishing  Bodies  at  Middlebury.â&#x20AC;?  On  Tuesday,  April  14,  at  7  p.m.  there  ZLOO EH D ÂżOP VFUHHQLQJ RI Âł7KH Central  Park  Fiveâ&#x20AC;?  in  Gifford  Lec-­ ture  Hall.  And  on  Wednesday,  April  15,  at  4:30  p.m.  in  the  RAJ  Confer-­ ence  Room,  David  Karp  presents  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Restorative  Justice:  A  Framework  for  Campus  Settingsâ&#x20AC;?  with  Dean  of  Students/Associate  Dean  for  Judi-­ cial  Affairs  and  Student  Life  Karen  Guttentag  and  Commons  Dean  Na-­ tasha  Chang.

Friday,  April  17,  has  event  sched-­ uled  throughout  the  day,  including  several  panel  discussions.  Speakers  include  David  Hernandez,  present-­ ing  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women  and  Children  Last:  Family  Detention  as  Punishmentâ&#x20AC;?;Íž  Rebecca  Tiger,  presenting  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Addic-­ tion,  Surveillance  and  the  Carceral  Stateâ&#x20AC;?;Íž  and  Suzi  Wizowaty  present-­ ing  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Criminal  Justice  Reform  in  Ver-­ mont:  The  Changing  Landscape.â&#x20AC;?

Tip  of  the  Week Giving  a  child  a  pet  to  grow  up  with  is  one  of  the  most  amazing  gifts  and  small  animals  are  often  good  matches  for  busy  families  and  small  kids.  To  make  the  most  of  the  experience,  make  sure  to  do  your  homework Â

before  bringing  home  a  four-­legged  friend.  Talk  to  your  veterinarian  about  the  different  needs  of  various  animals  to  make  sure  you  are  prepared  to  provide  the  right  diet,  housing,  physi-­ cal  care  and  socialization.

Â&#x2021; 7ULP WKH FODZV &DWV DUH XQOLNHO\ WR Âż QG D EDWKWXE FRPIRUWDEOH VR FDW owners  should  expect  them  to  resist.  Owners  can  protect  themselves  from  such  resistance  by  trimming  their  catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  claws  prior  to  bath  time.

into  your  catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ears  to  prevent  water  from  getting  inside  them. Â&#x2021; &KRRVH WKH ULJKW WLPH 0HOORZ or  tired  cats  are  less  likely  to  resist  a  bath  than  well-­rested  cats  with  lots  of  energy,  so  choose  a  time  of  day  when  your  cat  is  typically  mellow  to  give  the  animal  its  bath.  Allow  the  cat  to  play  with  some  toys  prior  to  bath  time  so  he  or  she  grows  a  little  tired.

Addison  Independent,  Monday,  April  6,  2015  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  PAGE  35

Milk  prices (Continued  from  Page  1) Jon  Rooney  of  Monument  Farms  in  Weybridge  said  price  swings  are  just  a  part  of  the  business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers  have  been  through  this  many  times,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  very  cy-­ clical  thing.â&#x20AC;?

Rooney  explained  that  in  the  glob-­ al  economy,  changes  in  market  con-­ ditions  on  other  continents  directly  affect  the  price  of  milk  in  New  Eng-­ land.  He  listed  a  number  of  factors  that  likely  played  a  role  in  the  latest  price  drop:  increasing  dairy  produc-­ tion  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand,  decreasing  exports  to  Russia  and Â

less  demand  from  China,  the  worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  most  populous  nation.

A  decrease  in  global  demand  by  just  a  few  percent  can  send  prices  tumbling  by  a  quarter  or  more.  To-­ dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  price  per  hundredweight  is  about  36  percent  less  than  a  year  ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  exports  decrease  by  a  few  percentage  points,  which  they  did,  it  impacts  us  immediately,â&#x20AC;?  Audet  said.

This  cycle  can  be  explained  in  part,  Rooney  said,  by  the  simple  concept  of  supply  and  demand.  When  prices  are  good,  farmers  pro-­

duce  more  milk  to  increase  revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like  any  business,  the  higher  the  price  goes,  the  more  incentive  there  is  to  produce,â&#x20AC;?  Rooney  said.

But  when  ramped-­up  supply  ex-­ ceeds  demand  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  even  if  only  slight-­ ly  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  price  of  milk  plummets.  This  problem  is  exacerbated  by  the  fact  that  milk,  in  its  liquid  form,  is  perishable.  When  demand  dries  up,  farmers  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  store  milk  until  the  market  recovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  place  for  the  extra  product  to  go,â&#x20AC;?  Audet  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certain-­ ly  if  we  had  any  product  you  could  stick  on  the  shelf,  you  could  react Â

more  appropriately.â&#x20AC;?

Addison  County  dairies  went  out  of  Since  dairymen  and  -­women  know  business  that  year. the  price  of  milk  is  unpredictable,  But  Rooney  said  the  market  con-­ they  do  their  best  to  prepare  their  ditions  are  better  than  they  were  in  farms  for  unfavorable  price  swings.

And  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  easier  to  break  the  law  than  you  might  think.  You  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  say  â&#x20AC;&#x153;no  childrenâ&#x20AC;?  or  â&#x20AC;&#x153;adults  only.â&#x20AC;?  There  is  lots  you  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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  nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Fair  Housing  Law.  Call  the  Addison  Independent  at  (802)  388-­4944.
