She  anticipates  an  eight-­  to  10-­ week  construction  period  that  will  not  interrupt  the  Wednesday  and  Saturday  Farmers’  Market  events  at  the  top  of  the  riverfront  slope. “The  disruption  will  be  minimal,  and  it  will  be  well  worth  it,â€?  Mal-­ colm  said.

A  goal  for  H.526:  Do  no  harm

Marriage  already  EHLQJ UHGH¿QHG

If  the  Senate,  as  expected,  tables  further  discussion  on  H.526,  a  bill  written  to  protect  the  state’s  shorelands  and  help  improve  the  clarity  of  lake  water,  WZR RXWFRPHV DUH FHUWDLQ EHWWHU H[SODQDWLRQ RI WKH OHJLVODWLRQ ZLOO WHPSHU the  animosity  that  has  riled  so  many  lakeshore  property  owners,  and  2)  the  OHJLVODWLRQ ZLOO XQGRXEWHGO\ XQGHUJR IXUWKHU PRGLÂżFDWLRQV WR SUHYHQW RYHU-­ kill  and  to  hone  in  on  what  it  hopes  to  accomplish. The  primary  purpose  of  the  legislation  is  to  restrict  landowners’  ability  to  develop  their  properties  in  ways  that  undermine  the  health  of  the  lake.  Few  landowners  around  any  body  of  water  would  disagree  with  the  intent.  How  that  is  achieved,  however,  could  vary  widely  depending  on  scale  and  geogra-­ phy  â€”  and  the  legislation  should  be  drafted  accordingly.  If  storm  water  run-­off  from  street-­scapes  and  cities  is  a  focus  of  concern  (and  the  waterfront  around  the  greater  Burlington  area  is  certainly  affected  by  this),  then  such  rules  should  apply  to  the  lakes  affected.  Larger  bodies  of  water  in  the  greater  Champlain  Valley  and  around  Lake  Memphremagog  that  are  affected  by  urban  and  farm  runoff,  for  example,  face  different  issues  than  do  lakes  in  mountainous  areas  surrounded  on  all  sides  by  steep  hillsides.  An  effort  should  be  made  to  redraft  the  legislation  with  such  distinctions. We  would  also  hope  the  Legislature  takes  it  upon  itself  to  adopt  a  twin  goal  DV WKH ELOO LV UHFRQVLGHUHG WKLV VXPPHU DQG IDOO WR GR QR KDUP /LNH FOHDQLQJ up  the  water  quality,  this  should  be  a  universally  accepted  premise. Adopting  this  twin  goal  would  encourage  the  Legislature  to  understand  the  unintended  consequences  such  legislation  could  have,  and  look  for  ways  to  accomplish  the  same  objectives  through  other  means,  such  as  lake  associa-­ tions  and  community  involvement  for  the  smaller  lakes,  rather  than  by  state  mandate  and  added  bureaucracy. Finally,  there  is  the  issue  of  cost.  It  should  be  mandatory  that  the  legisla-­ tion  include  a  budget  for  implementing  enforcement  by  the  state.  Perhaps  if  cost  were  part  of  the  initial  conversation,  the  scope  of  the  legislation  would  be  more  pragmatic.

Another  case  for  term  limits? That  the  U.S.  Senate  is  struggling  to  pass  a  vastly  weakened  bipartisan  compromise  on  gun  control  laws,  even  just  to  expand  background  checks,  is  a  travesty  of  political  will.  With  the  vast  majority  (80  to  90  percent)  of  the  QDWLRQ IDYRULQJ VWULFWHU JXQ FRQWURO ODZV ² LQFOXGLQJ D EDQ RQ DVVDXOW ULĂ€HV OLPLWLQJ WKH VL]H RI UDSLG ÂżUH PDJD]LQHV DQG PRUH H[WHQVLYH EDFNJURXQG FKHFNV ² LW LV QRWKLQJ VKRUW RI PDGGHQLQJ WKDW WKH 1DWLRQDO 5LĂ€H $VVRFLD-­ tion  has  been  able  to  cower  Congress  into  a  driveling  group  of  lap  dogs  eager  WR IDYRU OREE\LVWV LQWHQW RQ H[SDQGLQJ SURÂżWV IRU JXQ PDQXIDFWXUHUV Using  this  issue  as  the  measure  of  congressional  resolve  in  the  face  of  heavy  lobbying  (despite  its  obvious  injury  to  the  public  good),  it  becomes  apparent  that  term  limits  for  Congress  may  be  the  only  recourse  to  wean-­ ing  weak-­kneed  legislators  off  corporate  support  and  political  blackmail  and  insisting  that  our  congressional  delegations  stand  up  for  what’s  in  the  best  interest  of  the  nation. But  changing  term  limits  has  its  drawbacks;Íž  not  to  mention  it  would  be  a  drawn-­out  affair  lasting  several  years,  at  best,  and  which  would  also  need  Congressional  support. A  more  practical  alternative  is  to  have  an  engaged  electorate  that  is  not  DIUDLG WR ODEHO WKH 15$ IRU ZKDW LW LV ² D VKLOO IRU JXQ PDQXIDFWXUHUV QRW WKH grassroots  organization  of  old  that  represented  the  viewpoints  of  gun  owners.  :KDWÂśV UHDOO\ QHHGHG LV IRU JXQ RZQHUV WR VWDJH D UHYROXWLRQ ZLWKLQ WKH 15$ and  toss  out  the  goons  at  the  top  of  that  heap.  Perhaps  then  the  nation  could  establish  gun  laws  that  put  common  sense  and  national  safety  over  the  manic  greed  demonstrated  by  gun  manufacturers.  Failing  that  unlikley  scenario  and  if  the  Senate  can’t  even  pass  expanded  background  checks  this  year,  it  truly  is  a  sign  of  complete  political  dysfunc-­ tion  in  Congress.

“I’ll  be  back,  of  course‌â€? The  tragic  bombing  at  Monday’s  Boston  Marathon  was  senseless  in  all  respects.  Three  were  killed  and  176  wounded,  at  least  nine  of  whom  were  critically  injured.  An  eight-­year-­old  boy  died;Íž  his  mother  and  sister  were  severely  wounded.  A  Boston  University  graduate  student  was  killed,  as  was  a  29-­year-­old  female  caterer.  Such  random  violence  has  its  own  strategic  impact  and,  no  doubt,  the  imprint  on  the  lives  of  those  most  directly  involved  will  last  a  lifetime.  The  incident  also  will  be  remembered  for  years  to  come  on  this  anniversary  â€”  but  probably  not  in  the  ways  the  assailant(s)  intended. Yes,  there  were  moments  of  terror.  Yes,  lives  will  be  changed  and  personal  hardships  will  have  to  be  overcome,  and  perhaps  even  the  way  the  nation  holds  big  races  like  this  will  be  altered  to  protect  against  future  DVVDXOWV %DFNSDFNV DQG JHDU EDJV QHDU WKH ÂżQLVK OLQH ZLOO OLNHO\ EH D WKLQJ of  the  past.

Vt.  Gas  decisions  made  elsewhere Letters  to  the  editor,  columns,  and  editorials  in  recent  issues  of  the  Independent  have  criticized  Vermont  Gas  Systems  for  trying  to  obtain  approval  of  the  Addison  1DWXUDO *DV SURMHFW ZLWKRXW DOORZLQJ VXIÂżFLHQW WLPH IRU public  consultation  and  revising  the  proposal  in  response  to  public  concerns.  One  reason  for  this  criticism  may  be  that  although  Vermont  Gas  Systems  has  the  word  â€œVer-­ montâ€?  in  its  name,  the  gas  company  is  really  a  subsidiary  of  a  large  Canadian  energy  complex  that  is  owned  by  an  interlocking  network  of  pension  funds  and  gas  producers  all  across  Canada. Vermont  Gas  Systems  was  estab-­ lished  in  1965  to  provide  natural  gas  service  to  Franklin  and  Chittenden  counties  through  a  connection  to  the  Canadian  gas  distribution  network  at  the  border  at  Highgate.  The  company  operated  independently  for  about  20  years.  In  1986,  it  was  purchased  by  By  Eric  L.  Davis Gaz  MĂŠtro,  the  Montreal-­based  utility  that  distributes  gas  in  much  of  Que-­ bec,  and  through  Highgate  to  Ver-­ mont.  Gaz  MĂŠtro  continued  to  acquire  Vermont  utilities,  purchasing  Green  Mountain  Power  in  2007  and  Central  Vermont  Public  Service  in  2012.  CVPS  was  then  merged  into  GMP.  Thus,  Vermont’s  largest  electric  and  gas  utili-­ ties  are  now  owned  by  Gaz  MĂŠtro. Gaz  MĂŠtro  started  in  1955  as  the  Quebec  Natural  Gas  Corporation,  a  privately  owned  company  established  to  connect  Montreal  and  surrounding  areas  in  Quebec  to  the  North  American  gas  distribution  network,  which  at  that  time  did  not  extend  east  of  Ontario.  Over  the  next  decade,  QNGC  built  out  its  network  in  Quebec,  includ-­

ing  the  connection  to  Vermont.  In  1969,  as  Quebec  was  emphasizing  its  French  roots  and  the  French  language,  QNGC  changed  its  name  to  Gaz  MĂŠtropolitain.  In  1981,  the  government  of  Quebec  began  purchasing  shares  in  the  company,  by  then  commonly  known  as  Gaz  MĂŠtro.  By  the  mid-­1980s,  Gaz  MĂŠtro  was  completely  owned  by  SHQVLRQ DQG LQYHVWPHQW IXQGV DIÂżOLDWHG ZLWK WKH 4XHEHF provincial  government. Currently,  Gaz  MĂŠtro  sits  at  the  center  of  a  complex  network  of  subsidiary  and  parent  corporations.  Gaz  MĂŠ-­ tro  is  the  sole  owner  of  Northern  New  England  Energy  Corporation,  which  in  turn  is  the  sole  owner  of  Vermont  Gas  Systems,  Green  Moun-­ tain  Power,  and  the  Portland  Natural  Gas  Transmission  System.  Portland  Natural  Gas  is  also  the  subject  of  controversy  in  Vermont.  Some  envi-­ ronmentalists  believe  the  company  wants  to  export  â€œdirtyâ€?  tar  sands  oil  from  Alberta  through  its  pipeline  from  Montreal  to  Portland,  Maine,  which  traverses  Vermont’s  Northeast  Kingdom.

Letters to the Editor Setback  standards  needed  for  Vermont  Gas  pipeline Open  letter  to  Vermont  Gas: Over  the  past  several  months  representatives  of  Vermont  Gas  have  painted  a  rosy  picture  of  the  high-­ pressure,  industrial  gas  transmis-­ sion  pipeline  slated  to  run  through  the  town  of  Cornwall  on  its  way  to  International  Paper  in  the  neighbor-­ ing  state  of  New  York.  Though  the  transmission  gas  line  is  funded  by  In-­ ternational  Paper  and  likely  utilized  VROHO\ IRU WKH EHQHÂżW RI WKLV PDVVLYH multinational  corporation,  attendees  at  town-­wide  meetings  were  con-­ stantly  reassured  that  Vermont  Gas  was  equally  committed  to  landown-­ ers  on  â€œthis  side  of  the  lake,â€?  even  though  few,  if  any,  residents  would  be  able  to  tap  into  the  line. Concerned  residents  in  the  path  of  the  proposed  route  or  routes  were  offered  promises  that  the  lines Â

were  100  percent  safe  and  that  they  would  â€œnot  negatively  impact  their  property  valuesâ€?  in  spite  of  poten-­ tial  placement  within  â€œseveral  feetâ€?  of  their  homes  (their  words,  not  mine)  and  the  widespread  removal  of  mature  trees  and  landscaping.  Sadly,  the  recent  tragedy  in  Kansas  City  (along  with  pipeline  explosions  over  the  past  six  months  LQ 6SULQJÂżHOG 0DVV /HZLVYLOOH Texas,  and  Sissonville,  W.V.)  offers  up-­to-­the-­minute  evidence  that  natural  gas  pipelines  can  and  do  explode,  causing  loss  of  life  and  massive  property  damage.  It  may  come  as  a  shock  to  some  that  the  blast  radius  of  the  Sissonville  disas-­ ter  was  a  mind-­boggling  800  feet.  Needless  to  say,  residents  along  the  proposed  route  or  routes  are  tremen-­ dously  concerned  by  the  prospect Â

of  having  a  pipeline  placed  within  several  feet  of  their  home.  In  the  event  of  an  emergency,  these  homes  and  their  inhabitants  would  literally  be  vaporized.  This  open  letter  gives  Vermont  Gas  the  opportunity  to  show  good  faith  and  prove  that  they  are  in  fact  just  as  concerned  with  the  safety  and  welfare  of  the  landowners  on  this  side  of  the  lake  as  they  are  with  the  checkbook  of  their  New  York  client.  Towards  that  end,  I  ask  a  simple  yes  or  no  question:  Would  Vermont  Gas  willingly  submit  to  minimum  300-­foot  setbacks  from  structures,  septic  systems  and  wells?  No  rhetoric  please  â€”  this  is  a  simple  question  that  can  be  answered  in  kind.

Even  the  main  point  of  the  edito-­ rial,  the  suggestion  that  if  the  roughly  $70  million  that  Vermont  Gas  ratepayers  are  being  charged  to  fund  this  project  were  spent  more  wisely  it  would  cost  taxpayers  money,  misses  the  mark.  The  point  that  was  overlooked  is  that  ratepayers  could  have  spent  their  money  on  energy  HIÂżFLHQF\ DQG FRQVHUYDWLRQ PHDVXUHV on  their  own  homes  and  this  would  make  a  much  greater  impact  on  reducing  emissions  that  the  proposed  pipeline  project,  all  at  no  cost  what-­ soever  to  the  taxpayer. The  editorial  goes  on  to  suggest  that  renewable  energy  sources  are  not  competitive  and  can’t  compete  in  the  marketplace  without  govern-­ ment  subsidies.  The  reality  is  that  without  the  subsidies  that  they  cur-­ rently  receive,  the  fossil  fuel  industry  would  not  be  able  to  compete  with  renewable  energy.  Unsubsidized  renewable  energy  is  already  cheaper  than  electricity  from  newly  built  and  VXEVLGL]HG FRDO DQG JDV ÂżUHG SRZHU stations  in  Australia,  according  to  QHZ DQDO\VLV IURP UHVHDUFK ÂżUP Bloomberg  New  Energy  Finance.  A  recent  Bloomberg  article  also  notes  that  wind  power  is  becoming  so  abundant  and  inexpensive  that  it  is  already  more  economical  than  nuclear  energy  in  the  Midwest  elec-­ tricity  market.

pringtime! We long for it, and yet with it comes unpredictable and changeable weather, including the internal weather of our emotions. Feeling sluggish after winter, but wanting to get going on outdoor projects? Having more intent than energy? Doing more than you have stamina for? Springtime can bring impatience with all its consequences. This is a good time to soothe your inner landscape and direct your body’s energy towards the delights of the next 2 seasons. Acupuncture can awaken you to the vibrant energy of growth and new possibilities.

had  to  do).  This  sweetheart  deal,  however,  provides  Vermont  Gas  with  a  virtual  cost-­free  source  of  invest-­ ment  capital  offering  no  tangible  EHQHÂżW WR UDWHSD\HUV LQ UHWXUQ $V RQH PSB  dissenting  member  indicated,  this  funding  approach  is  unfair  and  improper. So  in  essence  Vermont  Gas,  by  not  returning  these  monies  to  their  customers  in  Chittenden  and  Franklin  counties,  has  effectively  removed  $10.5  million  in  disposable  income  from  the  local  economy.  As  disposable  income  is  re-­spent  many  WLPHV RYHU WKH LPSDFW LV VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ greater,  possibly  as  much  as  a  $15  to  $20  million  impact  to  the  Chittenden  and  Franklin  counties’  economies. The  second  point,  that  this  project  is  in  the  public  good  as  it  will  provide  many  homes  and  business  with  natural  gas  and  cut  fuel  bills  by  approximately  50  percent  (at  the  moment),  is  not  in  dispute.  How-­ ever,  everyone’s  rush  in  falling  over  themselves  to  get  this  cheap  gas  is  on  the  backs  of  those  customers  to  the  north  and  the  unfortunate  towns  in  the  pipeline’s  path. For  example,  Monkton  is  a  planned  corridor  for  this  major  12-­ inch  industrial-­size  high-­pressure  gas  pipeline,  although  it  will  not  get  gas  hook-­ups.  The  treatment  of  Monkton  by  Vermont  Gas  has  been  â€œget  out  of Â

our  way.â€?  First  the  route  was  right  through  the  middle  of  town,  next  to  the  school  and  below  people’s  bedroom  windows,  a  most  illogical  and  frighteningly  unsafe  route.  After  the  residents  of  Monkton  pointed  this  out  in  no  uncertain  terms,  the  pipe-­ line  was  moved.  However,  to  make  all  this  happen  Monkton  had  to  raise  its  taxes  for  a  â€œdefense  fundâ€?  to  fend  off  the  repeated  abuses  to  landown-­ ers  and  the  town  by  this  â€œget  out  of  our  wayâ€?  attitude.  So  while  the  edito-­ rial  indicated  this  project  doesn’t  add  to  our  tax  burden  â€”  guess  what. What  we  in  Monkton  ask  for,  and  this  probably  goes  for  other  towns  on  the  planned  pipeline  route,  is  that  Vermont  Gas  start  treating  people,  landowners  and  the  towns  with  some  respect  and  changes  its  belligerent  THE 0,''/(%85< 527$5< &OXEÂśV ÂżIWK DQQXDO RQOLQH DXFWLRQ LQ 0DUFK UDLVHG RYHU WR EHQHÂżW mode  of  operation,  including  their  9HUPRQW 6SHFLDO 2O\PSLFV 0DNH $ :LVK )RXQGDWLRQ &DPS 7D .XP 7D 5RQDOG 0F'RQDOG +RXVH DQG threats  of  eminent  domain,  and  give  YDULRXV UHTXHVWV WKH FOXE UHFHLYHV WKURXJKRXW WKH \HDU 3KRWRJUDSKHG DW DQ $SULO SUHVHQWDWLRQ DW WKH the  landowners  and  towns  a  fair  deal  0LGGOHEXU\ ,QQ ZHUH VHDWHG IURP OHIW +DWWLH -RKQVRQ RI &DPS 7D .XP 7D /HVOLH :LOOLDPV RI 9HUPRQW 0DNH $ :LVK )RXQGDWLRQ DQG /L] 6SLWOHU RI WKH 5RQDOG 0F'RQDOG +RXVH VWDQGLQJ 5RWDULDQV 6FRWW 1HHG for  providing  this  pipeline  corridor  in  KDP 7LP +ROODQGHU DQG 0DULO\Q 1HHGKDP 6SHFLDO 2O\PSLDQ +HUE *LQJULFK %LOO &XQQLQJKDP RI 9HUPRQW the  public  good. 6SHFLDO 2O\PSLFV DQG 0LGGOHEXU\ 5RWDU\ 3UHVLGHQW -DVRQ 6FKQRRU ,W EHKRRYHV WKRVH ZKR ZLOO EHQHÂżW 3KRWR E\ 0D[ .UDXV from  this  pipeline  to  hold  Vermont  Gas  accountable,  because  without  D &HUWLÂżFDWH RI 3XEOLF *RRG IRU Phase  I  there  will  be  no  natural  gas  for  Middlebury  and  Vergennes  or  a  Sometimes,  very  rarely,  an  Deborah  Lubar’s  performance  XV WR VKDUH \RXU ÂżUH Phase  II  or  III. audience  experiences  moments  of  of  her  play  â€œA  Story’s  a  Storyâ€?  Meravigliosa!

The  game  chess,  ladies  and  gentlemen,  is  a  game  that  all  ages  and  genders  can  participate  in.  It  brings  people  together.  Your  neigh-­ bor  might  know  how  to  play  and  PD\EH D SROLFH RIÂżFHU NQRZV KRZ to  play.  Who  knows?  Just  ask  â€Ś  that’s  all.  Don’t  just  play  the  game  online  â€Ś  take  it  to  the  park.  Make  it  personal.  When  it  comes  to  this Â
