And  this  Saturday,  May  3,  all  of  it  must  go  —  it’s  Green  Up  Day. In  Bristol,  local  Green  Up  orga-­ nizer  David  Rosen  will  be  on  the  town  green  starting  at  8:30  a.m.,  giv-­ ing  out  coffee  from  Vermont  Coffee  Company  to  the  scores  of  folks  they  hope  to  see  picking  up  trash  along Â

City  OKs  50-­house  cluster New  subdivision   on  West  Main  St. By  ANDY  KIRKALDY VERGENNES  —  The  Vergennes  Development  Review  Board  this  month  approved  a  50-­lot  housing  subdivision  on  a  94-­acre  parcel  that  borders  West  Main  Street,  Hopkins  Road,  Otter  Creek,  and  homes  and  apartments  on  Hillside  Drive.

The  subdivision,  which  has  been  in  the  works  more  than  a  decade  and  still  requires  Act  250  approval,  is  called  Claybrook  and  is  a  Planned  Unit  Development  (PUD).  It  calls  for  the  roughly  half-­acre,  single-­family  home  lots  to  be  clustered  around  a  new  road  that  will  access  the  land  from  West  Main  Street  and  loop  through  the  land.

Voters  approve  Neshobe  budget  on  second  try By  LEE  J.  KAHRS BRANDON  —  Voters  OK’d  a  re-­ vised  Neshobe  Elementary  School  budget  in  an  April  22  re-­vote,  by  a  tally  of  458-­276.

Around  60  percent  of  those  who  showed  up  at  the  polls  this  past  Tuesday  favored  the  spending  plan,  which  was  defeated  March  4  (638-­ 576);Íž  but  only  a  little  more  than  half  as  many  people  cast  ballots  com-­ pared  with  the  Town  Meeting  Day  election.  The  $5,321,670  spending  plan  contained  a  1.36  percent  increase  in  expenditures  over  the  current  budget  and  will  raise  the  local  school  tax Â

rate  by  1  cent,  from  $0.69  to  $0.70.

Tuesday’s  vote  result  was  a  far  cry  from  Town  Meeting  Day  in  March,  when  the  original  school  budget  was  defeated  by  a  mere  62  votes.  That  budget  represented  a  2.03  percent  increase  in  spending,  despite  elimi-­ nation  of  a  kindergarten  paraeduca-­ tor  position,  a  technology  support  position  and  a  speech  and  language  paraeducator,  and  reducing  contract-­ ed  maintenance  services.  That  bud-­ get  would  have  raised  the  tax  rate  by  three  cents.

The  Neshobe  School  Board  trimmed  an  additional  $35,000  from  that  initial  offering  for  the  re-­vote. Â

On  April  9,  the  board  approved  a  new  budget  proposal  that  also  cut  $10,000  from  a  reserve  fund  con-­ tribution  for  the  SOAR  afterschool  program,  and  a  $25,105  savings  with  the  retirement  of  fourth-­grade  teacher  Joan  Wright.

The  board  has  been  budgeting  an  annual  $20,000  contribution  to  a  re-­ serve  fund  for  the  SOAR  afterschool  SURJUDP IRU WKH SDVW ¿YH \HDUV 7KH latest  budget  change  cut  that  contri-­ bution  to  $10,000.  The  program  is  50  percent  funded  by  a  federal  21st  Century  grant,  and  the  reserve  fund  is  in  place  to  pay  for  the  program  when  the  grant  is  no  longer  available.

The  Neshobe  School  has  enjoyed  fairly  consistent  enrollment  num-­ bers  at  a  time  when  many  school  populations  are  declining.  Declin-­ ing  enrollment  raises  the  per  pupil  spending  in  many  districts,  as  the  state  education  funding  formula  is  based  on  enrollment  and  per  pupil  costs.  The  more  students,  the  bigger  a  piece  of  the  state  education  fund-­ ing  contribution  a  school  receives.  The  Neshobe  School’s  per  pupil  spending  is  roughly  $1,625  lower  than  the  state  average  for  schools  of  a  similar  size.

Voter  turnout  dropped  consider-­ ably  for  the  re-­vote,  with  a  total  of Â

734  votes  cast  (26  percent  of  reg-­ istered  voters)  on  April  22  versus  1,214  votes  cast  on  Town  Meeting  Day  (43  percent  of  registered  vot-­ ers).

Neshobe’s  was  one  of  32  school  budgets  defeated  across  Vermont  on  Town  Meeting  Day.  In  Addison  County,  voters  defeated  budgets  for  Ferrisburgh  Central  School  and  Ver-­ gennes  Union  High  School.  Revotes  for  both  of  those  spending  plans  is  set  for  May  13.

So  far,  eight  Vermont  schools  have  seen  their  budgets  approved  on  revote,  and  eight  have  been  defeated  a  second  time.

Seller of books, instruments in Bristol moves to new location By  ZACH  DESPART BRISTOL  —  Recycled  Reading  of  Vermont  is  moving  to  a  larger  space  in  Bristol’s  downtown,  and  will  expand  its  operation.

The  store,  which  sells  used  books,  CDs,  DVDs  and  musical  instru-­ ments,  isn’t  moving  far  —  in  fact,  the  new  space  is  just  across  the  street  from  its  current  location  at  25  Main  Street.  The  store  will  occupy  the  space  that  used  to  house  Better  Planet.

Owner  Melissa  Hernandez,  who  opened  the  store  in  2011,  said  things  were  starting  to  feel  crowded  in  her  shop,  so  she  went  looking  for  a  new  home  for  her  business. “I  wanted  to  get  a  larger  space,�  Hernandez  said.  “I’m  just  running  out  of  room  for  the  books,  as  well  as  for  everything  else.�

The  new  space  for  Recycled  Read-­ ing  is  nearly  twice  as  large  as  the  current  location,  the  square  footage  available  to  Hernandez  will  jump  from  800  to  1,300.  The  new  location  also  has  storage  space  in  the  base-­ ment.

The  new  space  has  two  things  the  current  location  lacks:  high  ceil-­ ings  and  two  large  display  windows.  Hernandez  said  she  will  also  install  a  sign  out  front,  which  will  greatly  increase  the  visibility  of  Recycled  Reading  along  Bristol’s  main  drag.

Hernandez  plans  to  ramp  up  the  music  side  of  the  business,  and  in-­ crease  her  inventory  of  guitars,  dul-­ cimers,  mandolins,  lap  harps  and  ukuleles  —  which  she  said  have  been  particularly  popular  with  Bristol  El-­ ementary  School  students.  Hernan-­ dez  said  she  tries  to  buy  instruments  that  are  made  in  the  United  States.

Luthier  Michael  Manley  will  hold  hours  at  the  store  once  a  week  to  re-­ pair  stringed  instruments.

Hernandez  will  also  sell  half-­  and  three-­quarter-­size  guitars,  which  are  easier  for  children  to  play.  Hernan-­ dez  said  children  can  trade  in  instru-­ ments  for  a  larger  size  as  they  get  older,  saving  their  parents  money.

Quintet tunes local ears for jazz music Donahue’s group is big on improvisation By  EVAN  JOHNSON MIDDLEBURY  —  Vermont  may  not  be  much  of  a  hotbed  for  jazz  culture,  but  saxophon-­ ist  and  trumpeter  Miles  Donahue  hopes  to  change  that.  His  annual  concerts  at  Middlebury  College’s  Mahaney  Center  for  the  Arts  for  the  past  nine  years  have  brought  talented  musicians  from  the  Unit-­ ed  States  and  beyond.

He’s  at  it  again  this  Friday  eve-­ ning,  when  the  Miles  Donahue  Quintet  will  play  a  variety  of  jazz  standards  and  originals.  The  Mid-­ dlebury  resident  is  looking  for  a  big  turnout. “Jazz  is  something  that  needs Â

to  be  experienced  in  person,�  he  said  in  an  interview  with  the  Inde-­ pendent.  “To  see  the  empathy  mu-­ sicians  have  for  each  other  and  the  improvisation  is  truly  happening  at  that  moment.�

Donahue’s  introduction  to  the  world  of  jazz  began  at  the  age  of  10  when  he  began  learning  trumpet  like  his  father,  who  was  also  a  musi-­ cian.  Young  Miles  developed  a  taste  for  the  music  and  began  listening  to  jazz  records  by  Clifford  Brown  and  Miles  Davis.  Then,  in  the  eighth  grade,  he  met  Jerry  Bergonzi,  a  now-­renowned  tenor  saxophonist.  “We  discovered  music  together,â€?  Donahue  said  of  Bergonzi,  who  now  travels  the  world  teaching  and  performing.  “And  once  a  year  for  the  last  four  years  I  bring  him  up  here  to  get  together  and  play  music Â

as  we  did  when  we  were  kids.�

Donahue  stuck  with  the  trumpet,  and  while  attending  Lowell  State  &ROOHJH KH DOVR GHYHORSHG SURÂż-­ ciency  in  saxophone  and  keyboard.  He  has  since  released  12  records  and  earned  critical  acclaim  from  experts  like  Grammy-­award  winner  and  Boston  Globe  jazz  critic  Bob  Blumenthal,  who  called  Donahue  a  “jazz  treasure.â€? “Miles  Donahue  is  one  of  the  best-­kept  jazz  secrets,â€?  Blumenthal  has  written.

performs  entirely  without  sheet  mu-­ sic  and  can  take  some  unexpected  turns  as  performers  trade  solos.     “Jazz  music  is  95  percent  impro-­ vising,â€?  said  Donahue,  who  will  turn  70  this  summer.  “Everyone  will  be  improvising  and  this  is  the  odd  side  of  my  musical  career.  My  life  is  all  about  music  and  this  is  where  I  get  to  perform  the  music  that  I’ve  spent  60  years  trying  to  get  good  at.â€?   Donahue’s  quintet  brings  four  musicians  from  locations  in  the  Northeast,  in  addition  to  the  band  leader.  ‡ 'RQDKXHÂśV ROG IULHQG -HUU\ Bergonzi  has  toured  all  around  the  world  for  more  three  decades,  in-­ cluding  performances  at  Carnegie  Hall  and  Lincoln  Center  in  New  (See  Donahue,  Page  3)

Letter

Money  is  overriding  motivation  of  pipeline  proponents Every  day  the  writing  on  the  wall  becomes  clearer.  Through  the  actions  —  and  inactions  —  of  FRXQW\ DQG VWDWH RIÂżFLDOV WKH SUR-­ posed  Phase  II  gas  pipeline  from  Middlebury  to  International  Paper  in  Ticonderoga,  N.Y.,  seems  less  like  a  proposal  than  a  fait  accompli.  Despite  the  enormous  opposition  to  affected  communities,  the  land,  the  lake  and  the  people  of  Vermont  VHHP OLNHO\ WR EH VDFULÂżFHG WR D gas  pipe  —  not  for  any  so-­called  “public  goodâ€?  but  to  enrich  two  corporations:  Vermont  Gas  and  International  Paper. “There’s  a  lot  of  money  at  stake.â€?  This  refrain  occurs  often  in  $GGLVRQ ,QGHSHQGHQW  quotations  RI RIÂżFLDOV DERXW WKH JDV SLSHOLQH proposal.  It’s  not  that  Vermont  Gas  is  pining  to  serve  Rutland.  If  so,  the  company  would  forge  straight  to  Rutland  as  it  had  originally  planned  before  the  awful  idea  of  drilling  under  Lake  Champlain  put  dollar  signs  in  their  corporate  eyes.  There’s  a  lot  of  money  at  stake.  For  whom?  Well  might  landowners  in  Cornwall  and  Shoreham  ask.  Well  PLJKW WKH ÂżVK LQ /DNH &KDPSODLQ ask.  But  who  cares  for  the  public  JRRG RI ÂżVKHV" $ ORW RI PRQH\ LV at  stake.

A  recent  vote  taken  on  the  Phase  II  question  by  the  Addison  County  Regional  Planning  Commission  is  especially  frustrating  and  almost  shameful.  The  commission  passed  a  motion  in  favor  of  the  pipeline,  15-­11.  According  to  this  newspaper  only  days  before  the  vote,  just  the Â

reverse  had  been  expected,  and  by  a  fairly  comfortable  margin.  Now  only  four  votes  have  changed  everything  providing  the  Public  Service  Board  with  an  approval  which  is  purported  to  represent  county  people  as  a  whole.  Hardly  a  landslide  vote.

Legitimate  questions  about  the  vote  arise.  Why  did  several  mem-­ bers  of  the  ACRPC  commission  fail  to  show  up  for  such  an  important  vote?  Why  did  Executive  Director  Adam  Lougee  seemingly  pressure  other  members  prior  to  the  vote  by  announcing  his  personal  opinion  in  favor  of  the  pipeline?  Why  did  the  Audubon  Society’s  delegate  to  the  ACRPC  betray  the  explicit  will  of  his  own  organization  by  voting  in  favor  of  the  pipeline?  The  refrain  re-­ curs:  There’s  a  lot  of  money  at  stake.

And  no,  that  money  is  not  about  serving  Addison  County  people  with  cheap  energy.  County  folk  will  hardly  get  a  whiff  of  that  gas,  at  least  until  it  leaks  from  under  ground  or  lake.  That  money  is  not  about  restitution  to  landowners  or  taxes  paid  to  help  communi-­ ties.  Vermont  Gas  proposes  to  pay  annually  decreasing  taxes.  Soon  it  would  pay  no  taxes  —  forever.

And  no,  that  money  is  not  about  keeping  International  Paper  in  business  so  that  John  Doe  can  have  his  job,  or  at  least  not  to  have  to  compete  with  a  bunch  of  jobless  Yorker  Does.  Scare  tactics  are  a  gross  form  of  public  pressure.  But,  for  the  corporation,  there’s  a  lot  of  SUR¿W DW VWDNH

Every  Vermonter  and  every  New  Yorker  should  rise  up  in  protest  at  this  threat  to  alter  the  bed  of  Lake  Champlain.  This  is  not  only  a  local  concern,  but  also  a  state  and  a  national  concern  of  the  Environmental  Protection  Agency  in  terms  of  our  natural  resources  and  how  to  protect  them.  I  wonder  if  anyone  has  even  inquired  of  the  Public  Service  Board:  How  would  you  like  a  giant  machine  to  drill  a  livid  gas  pipe  under  your  beds?  Of  course,  you  would  have  to  believe  in  the  life  present  in  nature  in  order  to  sympathize  with  this  ques-­ tion.  Nevertheless  we  should  not  abjectly  relinquish  the  lake  to  the  corporations  which  have  only  one  thought  in  their  corporate  heads.

Observing  the  dwindling  num-­ bers  of  passenger  pigeons  in  New  England,  Henry  David  Thoreau  made  an  analogy  to  the  dwindling  of  serious  thought  in  humans:  “So,  it  would  seem,  few  and  fewer  thoughts  visit  each  growing  man  from  year  to  year,  for  the  grove  in  our  minds  is  laid  waste  —  sold  to  IHHG XQQHFHVVDU\ ÂżUHV RI DPEL-­ tion,  or  sent  to  mill  —  and  there  is  scarcely  a  twig  left  for  them  to  perch  on.â€?

Will  the  Public  Service  Board  dwindle  down  to  only  one  thought  —  there’s  a  lot  of  money  at  stake  —  when  it  rules  on  the  “public  good�  of  the  Phase  II  proposal?  Does  the  PSB  read  letters  to  the  editor?

Revote  on  Middlebury  project  is  insulting  to  some In  support  of  the  upcoming  Ar-­ ticle  1  (former  Article  6)  municipal  building  vote,  I’d  like  to  point  out  that  the  vote  in  March  was  very  consistent  in  favor  of  the  project:  Article  6,  yes;Íž  petition  to  take  more  time  to  consider  other  plans,  no;Íž  selectman  who  most  vociferously  opposed  the  project,  not  re-­elected  —  all  with  a  large  voter  turn  out. , ÂżQG LQVXOWLQJ WKH LGHD WKDW \HV voters  are  ill-­informed  and  that  tak-­ ing  time  to  have  us  “re-­educatedâ€?  would  get  a  “betterâ€?  result.  Yes  —  the  community  is  split.  Would  the  minority  “noâ€?  voters  like  to  educate  themselves  into  a  “yesâ€?  position  for  the  sake  of  community  unity?  I  respectfully  suggest  not.  Well,  please  show  us  “yesâ€?  people  the  same  respect. , GRQÂśW EHOLHYH WKDW D XQLÂżHG workable,  funded  alternative  pro-­ posal  would  arise  after  further  delay  and  debate.  I  see  the  opponents  of  the  current  proposal  divided  be-­ tween  many  options  including,  but  not  limited  to:  building  on  Route  7  south;Íž  rebuilding  the  municipal  building  while  saving  the  gym;Íž  do-­ ing  major  renovations  bit  by  bit  to  both  structures;Íž  and  doing  basically  nothing,  just  spending  the  minimum  on  maintenance  (probably  quite  a  popular  position  amongst  the  qui-­

eter  “no�  voters).  Some  “no�  voters  suggest  that  the  college  should/ would/might  chip  in  substantial  money  after  going  through  this  pro-­ cess  and  being  turned  down.  I  say,  don’t  count  on  that.

Blanche Walker, 91, Ripton RIPTON  —  Blanche  G.  Walker,  91,  of  Ripton,  died  Monday  morning,  April  21,  2014,  at  Our  House  in  Rutland.

community,  has  established  itself  as  the  college’s  agent,  certainly  not  intentionally,  but  by  proxy.  In  doing  so,  the  college  has  unfortu-­ nately  been  put  in  the  position  of  seeming  to  exert  corporate  power  against  a  small  town  with  a  small  operating  budget;͞  i.e.,  here’s  the  deal,  take  it  or  leave  it,  there  will  not  be  another.

This  seems  out  of  character  for  Middlebury  College,  which  over  many  years  has  been  generous,  tactful  and  cooperative  in  nurturing  a  tradition  of  town/gown  connected-­ ness.  Given  the  selectboard’s  accep-­ tance  of  such  a  “sunset�  proposal,  will  it  in  the  future  bargain  with  the  college  from  a  position  of  strength  or  weakness?

Letters  to  the  Editor  can  be  found  on  Pages  4,  5  and  7.

Project  opposition  linked  to  college’s  increasing  power I’ve  been  thinking  about  writ-­ ing  this  letter  for  a  long  time.  Ever  since  the  town  hall  sale  proposal/ FRQÀLFW KLW WKH QHZV KHDGOLQHV Because  I  don’t  live  in  the  town  of  Middlebury,  and  therefore  don’t  vote,  I  felt  I  should  not  add  my  voice  to  all  the  arguments  going  EDFN DQG IRUWK 7KH FRQÀLFW WKDW arose  from  this  proposal  is  just  a  microcosm  of  what  is  going  on  across  this  country  and  the  world  WRGD\ 7KLV ORFDO FRQÀLFW KDV KDS-­ pened  for  the  same  reasons  that  the  original  Tea  Party  started  (before  the  Republicans  co-­opted  it)  and  the  same  reasons  the  Wall  Street  protest  blossomed.  First  I  need  to  make  a  disclaimer  of  sorts.  I  understand  that  Middle-­ bury  College  is  a  good  entity  to  have  in  Middlebury  and  Addison  County.  The  college  provides  well  SD\LQJ MREV ZLWK JRRG EHQH¿WV ,W is  one  of  the  reasons  I  came  to  this  area  from  Maine  fresh  out  of  col-­ lege  over  30  years  ago.  There  aren’t  many  places  in  the  country  where  one  can  work  in  the  dairy  industry  that  has  the  combination  of  a  strong  agriculture  infrastructure,  scenic  beauty,  and  vibrant  cultural  oppor-­ tunities  that  the  Champlain  Valley  offers.  Middlebury  College  contrib-­ utes  strongly  to  those  opportunities  in  this  end  of  the  valley.

I  have  been  surprised  that  no  one  else  has  touched  on  what  I  see  as  the  fundamental  reason  this  proposal  stirred  up  so  much  opposi-­ tion  and  unease  in  the  community.  While  there  were  a  couple  of  letters Â

that  touched  on  Middlebury  Col-­ OHJHœV ZLGH LQÀXHQFH RQ RXU OLYHV I  expected  more,  especially  from  the  editorial  side  of  the  Addison  Independent.

The  logic  behind  the  proposal  to  sell  the  land  in  the  center  of  town  to  Middlebury  College  so  that  they  can  build  a  park,  and  to  take  the  money  they  offered  and  build  build-­ ings  elsewhere  to  replace  the  older  buildings  makes  sense.  But  I  think  the  point  that  I  feel  has  been  missed  is  why  does  it  make  sense?  What  makes  it  better  to  acquiesce  to  the  college’s  wishes  than  to  do  what  we  probably  all  would  like  to  do?  Why  was  there  so  much  opposition?

There  was  opposition,  because  people  are  uneasy,  maybe  not  even  sure  why,  but  they  sense  that  some-­ thing  is  wrong  with  this  picture  and  the  whole  picture  of  our  country  as  it  is  today.  The  town  of   Middlebury  cannot  afford  to  do  what  probably  all  would  like  to  do.  Why?  Money  is  why.

Middlebury  College  has  huge  amounts  of  money  (compared  to  the  rest  of  us,  businesses  and  individu-­ als)  available  to  them.  Where  does  that  money  come  from?  It  comes  from  wealthy  individuals  who  have  so  much  money  that  giving  $50,000  or  $100,000,  or  $1  million  is  not  a  VLJQLÂżFDQW KDUGVKLS The  Middlebury  College  rela-­ tionship  with  the  town  is  skewed,  just  like  the  relationship  of  most  of  us  with  the  very  wealthy  of  this  country  and  world.  Now  you  may  say,  well  it’s  their  money,  and  if Â

Letters to  the  editor

The  Addison  Independent  encourages  readers  to  write  letters  to  the  editor.  We  believe  a  newspaper  should  be  a  community  forum  for  people  to  debate  issues  of  the  day Because  we  believe  that  accountability  makes  for  responsible  debate,  we  will  print  signed  letters  only. Â

they  are  doing  good  things,  what’s  the  problem.  But  the  point  is  they  are  doing  what  they  want,  and  as  good  and  well  intentioned  as  it  is,  we,  the  people  of  Middlebury  don’t  really  have  a  choice.  Or  at  least  a  good  choice.

And  this  is  where  we  get  into  the  crux  of  the  matter.  Middlebury  College  has  the  power  and  money,  and  the  rest  of  us,  as  a  town  and  individuals,  do  not.

Why?  Because  the  people/alumni  who  give  the  large  sums  of  money  that  allow  the  huge  building  spree  that’s  been  going  on  for  15  years,  that  allow  for  the  purchase  of  all  the  buildings  around  town,  that  allow  for  the  generous  “giftsâ€?  to  the  town,  have  this  money  because  they  are  able  to  capitalize  on  lenient  tax  laws  and  regulations  for  both  the  corporations  that  they  work  for  and  lenient  tax  laws  on  themselves. , WKLQN ZH ZRXOG ÂżQG WKDW PDQ\ RI WKH ELJ GRQRUV ZRUN LQ WKH ÂżQDQ-­ cial  markets,  where  money  chang-­ ing  has  become  a  high  art  form.  When  one  entity  has  the  money,  and  one  does  not,  even  though  the  entity  with  the  money  may  be  doing  good,  the  entity  with  all  the  money  still  has  all  the  power.  And  when  too  much  power  is  concentrated  in  one  entity,  the  possibility  for  harm  grows  larger.

I  believe  that  that  is  why  there  was  so  much  opposition  to  the  project.  Gardner  Merriam New  Haven

Manager: City budget in good shape By  ANDY  KIRKALDY VERGENNES  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Vergennes  City  Council  on  April  22  heard  good  budget  news  from  City  Manager  Mel  Hawley  on  two  fronts,  annual  spending  and  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  new  police  station.

Jason  Alexander,  Michael  Richards  and  Julia  Louis-­Dreyfuss  were  pro-­ fessionals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  pretty  tight,â&#x20AC;?  Frost  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  were  expected  to  be  ready  when  they  were  ready,  not  the  other  way  around.â&#x20AC;?

Frost  said  he  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  surprised  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seinfeldâ&#x20AC;?  remains  so  popular  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  show  has  continuously  aired  in  syn-­ GLFDWLRQ VLQFH WKH ÂżQDO VHDVRQ HQGHG in  1998. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  unique,â&#x20AC;?  Frost  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  unique,  not  quite  in  the  same  way  as  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Twin  Peaks.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Frost  said  it  was  after  shooting  the  VKRZÂśV ÂżQDOH WKDW KH GHFLGHG WR UH-­ tire  from  acting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  had  been  a  very  long,  long  day  and  I  walked  out  of  the  studio  and  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  do  this  any-­

more,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Frost  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  moved  out  of  L.A.â&#x20AC;?

Frost  said  he  hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  crossed  paths  with  Jerry  Seinfeld  since  the  show  ended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He  hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  come  here  to  see  me  yet;Íž  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  understand  it,â&#x20AC;?  Frost  joked,  adding  that  Seinfeldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  wife,  Jessica,  is  from  Burlington.

Frost  said  retiring  to  Vermont  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  something  he  had  long  decided  to  do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Actors  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  plan  ahead  for  more  than  a  couple  of  weeks,â&#x20AC;?  Frost  quipped.

These  days,  Frost  keeps  busy  by  making  artwork  using  pieces  of  wood,  and  reading  history  books  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  several  David  McCullough  works  line  the  shelves  of  his  den.

But  acting  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  too  far  from  his  mind.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  never  want  to  give  it  up,â&#x20AC;?  Frost  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  too  ingrained.â&#x20AC;?

This  week  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  presenting  a  talk  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where  Did  All  the  Time  Go?â&#x20AC;?  at  the  Eastview  at  Middlebury.  The  production  will  take  place  at  the  Eastview  Community  Room  on  May  1  at  7  p.m.

For  one  night  at  least,  Frost  will  re-­ turn  to  doing  what  he  loves.

Asked  if  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  embark  on  the  same  career  again,  knowing  all  the  moving  around  and  unsteady  work  that  being  an  actor  entails,  Frost  said  he  abso-­ lutely  would. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  remove  the  fact  that  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  better  now  than  I  was  when  I  started,  but  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  like  to  start  back  at  this  level,â&#x20AC;?  Frost  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  a  clear  path  IRU DQ\ERG\ DW OHDVW DV IDU DV , FDQ ÂżJ-­ ure  out.â&#x20AC;?

Raccoons  are  masters  at  unlawful  entry:  the  key  is  in  their  hands

Raccoons  are  omnivorous,  which  many  researchers  believe  has  pushed  raccoon  brain  development.  Every  object  they  come  across  has  the  SRWHQWLDO WR EH IRRG 7KLV GULYH WR acquire  a  wide  variety  of  foods,  scientists  believe,  has  driven  human  brain  development  as  well.  As  every  teacher  knows,  children  learn  by  touch,  whether  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  building  blocks Â

Arising  from  pages  of  text,  words  are  spotlighted  to  create  new  meaning  out  of  a  prior  existence  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  discovered  poem.  Van  Vliet  has  incorporated  layering  techniques  and  mixed-­media  methods  to  fur-­ ther  develop  the  poems  into  artistic  statements.

At  the  May  9  reception,  Van  Vliet  will  be  joined  by  Zoe  Riell  for  the  poetry  reading.

Riell  has  been  regularly  pub-­ lished  in  newspapers  across  Ver-­ mont  through  the  Young  Writers  Project.  She  was  awarded  a  re-­ gional  silver  medal  in  the  Scho-­

Van  Vliet  is  a  painter,  poet  and  student  of  the  dream.  Van  Vliet  has  long  been  fascinated  with  cre-­ ating  meaning  and  opening  places  of  feeling  by  generating  marks  on  the  page,  be  it  letter  or  character,  dendritic  form  or  simple  line  and  shape.  Her  work  originates  from  the  practice  of  listening  inwardly  for  what  wants  to  arise  and  be  expressed.  From  this  Gnostic  per-­ spective  creation  and  content  rise  from  the  feeling  knowing  self.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  against  the  law  to  discriminate  when  advertising  housing  related  activities.

Particularly  on  sites  like  Craigslist.

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.
