ID-Â4  budget,  playground  plan  face  vote  April  9 By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  Middlebury  residents  will  gather  at  Mary  Hogan  Elementary  School  on  Wednesday,  April  9,  to  consider  an  ID-Â4  budget  of  $6,647,165  for  2014-Â15,  and  deter- PLQH ZKHWKHU WR VSHQG WR Âż- nance  a  new  play  structure  that  would  replace  Kidspace.

Phase  II:  A  role  for  ACRPC The  Addison  County  Regional  Planning  Commission  is  in  an  interesting  spot  with  its  impending  decision  this  Wednesday  on  whether  to  approve  or  reject  Phase  II  of  Vermont  Gas’s  Addison  Pipeline  project.  It  approved  Phase  I,  from  Chittenden  County  to  Middlebury,  but  two  committees  within  the  commission  have  already  panned  Phase  II  based  on  the  weaker  arguments  of  meeting  the  public  good,  Act  250  and  concerns  over  whether  it  met  the  long- term  energy  goals  of  the  commission.  Even  so,  the  commission  is  rightly  hesitant  to  reject  the  project  outright  because  it  also  agrees  with  the  state’s  goal  to  extend  the  pipeline  to  Rutland  as  soon  as  is  reasonably  feasible.  That  goal  has  become  increasingly  important  as  a  measure  to  stem  the  potential  loss  of  jobs  in  that  region  because  of  its  comparatively  high  cost  of  fuel.  Natural  gas  is  currently  about  50  percent  cheaper  than  either  propane  or  fuel  oil. In  making  its  decision,  the  nut  the  ACRPC  must  crack  is  this:  How  vital  is  Phase  II  to  get  the  pipeline  extended  to  Rutland  in  a  timely  manner? The  answer  to  that  question,  from  the  perspective  of  Vermont  Gas,  is  that  it  is  crucial.  Without  Phase  II,  and  the  money  they  would  get  from  the  International  Paper,  extending  the  pipeline  to  Rutland  would  be  a  tenuous  proposition  that  could  take  10  years  or  longer,  if  at  all.  Currently,  if  Phase  II  is  constructed,  Vermont  Gas  says  it  would  use  $45  million  from  that  project  to  put  toward  the  construction  of  the  pipeline  to  Rutland;Íž  which,  they  say,  FRXOG WKHQ EH FRPSOHWHG LQ ÂżYH RU VL[ \HDUV But  that’s  their  side  of  the  story.  Legitimate  questions  remain  unanswered  and  being  the  antagonist  that  seeks  those  answers  is  a  useful  role  ACRPC  could  play. Of  the  questions  the  ACRPC  might  pose,  none  is  more  important  than  determining  how  quickly  Vermont  Gas  could  build  the  pipeline  to  Rutland  —  which  is  the  highest  public  good  of  this  project.  When  we  asked  that  question  of  Vermont  Gas,  two  years  was  the  time  it  would  take  to  physically  build  the  pipeline  from  a  point  south  of  Middlebury  to  Rutland.  That’s  without  getting  any  of  the  necessary  permits,  land  easements  and  what  are  assuredly  many  hoops  to  jump  through  in  such  a  process.  Add  those  to  the  equation,  said  Vermont  Gas  spokesperson  Steve  Wark,  and  it  will  take  another  two  years.  Is  that  accurate  and  could  it  be  done  any  faster? If  Phase  II  is  not  allowed,  the  ACRPC  should  also  ask,  could  the  pipeline  be  extended  to  Rutland  and  is  10  years  out  a  fair  assessment? The  ACRPC  could  also  ask:  What’s  the  guarantee  Vermont  Gas  will  extend  the  pipeline  to  Rutland  if  Phase  II  is  approved? Currently,  there  is  no  quid-Âpro-Âquo.  We  understand  that  Vermont  Gas  is  a  private  company,  and  makes  decisions  to  extend  its  pipelines  based  on  ¿QDQFLDO UHWXUQ ZLWKRXW DQ\ REOLJDWLRQ WR WKH VWDWH %XW 3KDVH ,, LV GLIIHUHQW The  pipeline  crosses  private  land  in  Middlebury,  Cornwall  and  Shoreham  to  serve  an  out-Âof-Âstate  commercial  enterprise  (the  International  Paper  plant)  for  the  primary  purpose  of  boosting  Vermont  Gas’  bottom  line.  That  premise,  by  itself,  should  fail  the  public  good  test.  Only  if  the  project  is  combined  with  a  mandate  to  continue  the  pipeline  to  Rutland  within  a  set  period  of  time  should  the  PSB  consider  it  a  public  good. There’s  also  the  matter  of  due  compensation.  Because  this  pipeline  is  DQ REYLRXV GHWRXU IRU ÂżQDQFLDO JDLQ LW VHHPV UHPLVV QRW WR DGHTXDWHO\ compensate  those  communities  that  will  bear  the  burden.  This  is  perhaps  the  PRVW GLIÂżFXOW DUJXPHQW WR DUWLFXODWH EXW D FRPPRQ VHQVH RI IDLUQHVV PLJKW prompt  Vermont  Gas  to  advance  the  discussion  on  its  own. It’s  also  important  to  understand  that  the  ACRPC  has  no  jurisdiction  in  the  matter.  It  is  a  party  to  the  proceedings  and  has  the  option  to  comment,  but  has  no  obligation  to  do  so.  The  Public  Service  Board  has  full  jurisdiction  in  the  matter.  Even  so,  it’s  also  noteworthy  that  the  PSB  has  become  sensitized  to  the  issue  and  appears  more  willing  to  weigh  local  concerns.  That,  and  the  unusual  regional  nature  of  Phase  II,  elevates  the  role  the  ACRPC  could  play.  It’s  an  argument  for  being  deliberate  in  its  decision  to  approve  or  reject  the  project,  even  if  that  means  postponing  it  until  these  questions,  and  others,  are  answered.

High School; his sisters, Ariel and Nicole, attend Montpelier High School; and his older brother, Alex, is studying in California. As a junior, Nate received the Harvard Alumni Award and took Advanced American Studies. But he says he is most proud of being accepted into the Moosalamoo program at OV and receiving the Golden Axe award from the program. He is currently preparing for his ELO (Extended Learning Opportunity) Long Trail hike that he is undertaking with two classmates, Doug Friend and Logan Hayes in May. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thoroughly planning this trip for six months and exSHFW WR Ă&#x20AC;QLVK WKH WUDLO LQ GD\V Nate was on the cross-country running team in grades 8-10.

Mount Abraham Union High School congratulates Casey Briggs of Starksboro on being named its Student of the Week. Her sister, Kayla, and her brother, Justin, graduated from Mount Abe. Casey has been on the honor roll since ninth grade. She has achieved academic excellence throughout high school. As a junior, she was inducted into the National Technical Honor Society. Casey has played sports since elementary school. In sixth grade she received the Starksboro Sports Program Scholarship Award. She played soccer in grades 7 and 8 and basketball in grades 7-9. In addition to school basketball, in grades 7 and 8 Casey participated in a church youth organization team on Sundays and sometimes on Saturdays, as well as with the Valley Magic team. She has played softball since seventh grade. In her sophomore year, she was one of the four captains. She has been on varsity since junior year. In the summer she plays in an Addison County co-ed slow pitch softball league. In grade 10, Casey worked as a math tutor with Justin Bouvier. She has achieved awards in community service work with United Way for both her junior and senior years at Living Well in Bristol. In 11th grade she volunteered at Robinson Elementary School, in a kindergarten and grade 1/2 classroom, for eight weeks. Since junior year she has volunteered at the Bristol Family Center. Casey  Briggs She has volunteered at the Mount Abe concession stand with Cindy Kayhart during basketball games all four years. She has worked at Lantmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grocery M.A.U.H.S. Store in Hinesburg for the last two years. Outside of school, Casey likes to listen to music and sing a bit, with friends or alone. During the summertime, she loves to go swimming with family and friends and ride her four-wheeler. She likes to doodle on paper and play with her dogs. She likes to socialize with friends, playing billiards or foosball with them, watch movies and read. Casey says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I had to give advice to other students it would be not to give up on school work. I know sometimes it is hard, but if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard then you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be learning anything. Also, be open to almost anything. If you get the task to write this huge paper, remember there will be even bigger ones if you go to college and all you have to do is take it step by step. Finally, always remember to be yourself, and enjoy school.â&#x20AC;? Math teacher Jill Kellogg says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Casey has strong math skills, a great work ethic, and she truly wants to help students around her who are struggling. These qualities combined with her excellent communication skills make her one of my top students and hopefully a future educator!â&#x20AC;? After high school, Casey plans on going to college to major in elementary education with a focus on mathematics. Volunteering has taught her that she loves working with children, and she likes math.

Art with perspective ELDERLY SERVICES INC. this month is displaying about 90 works of art created by Addison County seniors. The artists used many different media: watercolor, pastel, crayon, pencil, collage, multimedia, wood, tissue paper, and even duct tape. ESI art leaders An Duclos and Molly McLean selected the best of all participants’ work over the year. Last Tuesday the Middlebury organization held a gala opening with food, music and dancing. Shown at the gala, clockwise from top left, are Ginny Mortensen, Diana Parks, Audrey Brown, and Jack Gibson and Damaris Hatch.
Bristol, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics “The Bristol Electronics people are very pleasant to work with. We looked at rental vs. ownership and it became clear that owner- ship was a better deal in the long run. The installation time was very quick. We expect to pay off our loan in 10 years and then we’ll have free electricity for the rest of our lives. Bristol Electronics is very professional. The process was easy and we are very happy.” Gerry & Claire Tetrault – Bristol, VT

What  kind  of  car  are  you? (MS)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Though  books  should  never  be  judged  by  their  covers,  very  often  individuals  judge  others  by  the  clothes  they  wear,  the  home  they  live  in  and  even  the  car  they  drive. It  can  be  interesting  to  examine  what  a  partic- ular  car  says  about  the  person  behind  the  wheel.  More  than  200  million  drivers  are  licensed  in  the  United  States  and  Canada,  and  these  drivers  choose  their  vehicles  for  a  variety  of  reasons.  Some  choose  vehicles  because  of  their  utility,  while  others  select  a  particular  car  or  truck  because  of  the  message  it  conveys.  Very  often  drivers  will  idealize  their  vehicles,  lending  them  human  qualities  or  naming  them  as  if  they  were  a  friend.  Sometimes  owners  will  seek  attributes  in  a  vehicle  that  mirror  their  own  self-Âimage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  car  says  a  lot  about  a  person,â&#x20AC;?  says  Charles  Kenny,  a  consumer  psychologist  who  stud- ies  car  buyers  and  their  QHHGV Âł,WÂśV D UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWLRQ â&#x20AC;&#x153;A car of  who  you  are.â&#x20AC;? says a lot Just  think  about  the  once-Âpopular  minivan.  about a Minivans  once  conveyed  person. the  image  of  the  ideal  family  vehicle  driven  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a primarily  by  mothers.  UHĂ HFWLRQ But  in  recent  years,  mini- van  sales  have  dipped  so  of who much  that  certain  brands  you areâ&#x20AC;? no  longer  produce  them.  â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charles Many  drivers  no  longer  Kenny, want  to  present  the  image  consumer that  comes  with  driving  SV\FKRORJLVW a  minivan,  compelling  many  to  opt  for  cross- overs  and  SUVs  instead.

(MS)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Tires  are  the  link  between  a  vehicle  and  the  road- way,  and  tire  quality  has  a  direct  impact  on  the  performance  and  safety  of  an  automobile.  But  tire  maintenance  is  easy  to  overlook.  However,  ignoring  tire  mainte- nance  can  threaten  driver  and  passenger  safety  and  make  a  vehi- cle  operate  inefficiently. Steering,  braking  ability  and  traction  are  all  governed  by  good  tires.  Worn  tread  can  result  in  longer  stopping  times  and  make  it  difficult  to  brake  immediately  in  an  emergency  situation.  Although  driving  tends  to  be  the  primary  culprit  behind  worn  down  tires,  sometimes  bald  or  unevenly  worn  out  tread  is  indicative  of  a  larger  problem,  such  as  a  misaligned  wheelbase,  improperly  aligned  tires  or  tires  that  are  underinflated.  The  following  are  some  common  problems  associated  with  tires  and  how  to  address  these  issues  should  they  arise. BLOWOUTS Worn  tire  treads  increase  the  risk  of  punctures,  which  can  lead  to  blowouts.  Bald  tires  also  may  blow  out  as  a  result  of  friction  on  roadways  that  is  met  with  mini- mal  rubber.  Getting  caught  on  the  side  of  the  road  with  a  tire  blow- out  can  be  a  hassle,  so  routinely  check  tire  treads  and  replace  tires  accordingly. TREAD  DEPTH Average  new  tires  on  cars  usually Â

start  with  10/32  inch  to  11/32  inch  of  original  tread  depth.  When  tread  reaches  a  depth  of  2/32  inch,  they  are  considered  worn  out.  There  are  different  ways  to  gauge  tread  depth.  Insert  a  penny  into  the  tread  groove  with  Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  head  upside  down  and  facing  you.  If  you  can  see  all  of  Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  head,  it  is  time  to  replace  the  tires.  Another  coin  test  is  to  insert  a  quarter  into  the  groove.  If  the  tread  touches  Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  head,  you  have  at  least  4/32  inch  of  tread  left.  Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  any  currency  on  hand?  Then  look  at  the  treadwear  indicator  bar  molded  into  the  tires.  When  these  bars  become  flush  with  the  adjacent  ribs  of  the  tire,  the  tires  should  be  replaced.
ALIGNMENT According  to  the  Rubber  Manufacturers  Association,  improper  alignment  causes  rapid  or  uneven  tread  wear.  Tires  should  be  aligned  and  balanced  periodically  to  avoid  irregular  wear  and  having  to  replace  tires  prematurely. TREAD  PATTERN Tires  feature  different  tread  patterns  depending  on  the  brand  of  tire.  They  may  be  directional,  asymmetrical,  nondirectional,  and  directional/asymmetrical.  When  purchasing  replacement  tires,  it  is  advisable  to  match  the  tread  pattern  to  the  existing  tires.  This  helps  enhance  the  performance  of  the  car.  In  fact,  some  newer  cars  require  tread  to  match.  Mismatched  treads  may  cause  problems  with  transmission  shifting  or  impact  control  and  steadiness.

Tires  should  undergo  the  same  inspection  and  maintenance  as  other  parts  of  the  vehicle.  Tires  are  a  vital  component  to  safe  driving,  and  routine  maintenance  can  prevent  accidents  and  other  problems.

Your wipers need refreshing Many  drivers  procrastinate  when  it  comes  to  changing  their  wiper  blades,  For  them,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  just  not  a  priority;Íž  but  the  American  Optometric  Association  reports  that  90  percent  of  driving  decisions  are  based  on  visibility.  With  that  statistic  in  mind,  automotive  experts  emphasize  to  drivers  how  critical  it  is  to  change  wiper  blades  regularly.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  also  a  good  idea  to  visually  inspect  wipers  every  few  months,  especially  if  they  are  exposed  to  severe  weather  conditions  on  a  regular  basis. Temperature  extremes,  heavy  precipitation Â
and  repetitive  friction  on  the  windshield  have  a  damaging  effect  on  wiper  blade  performance  over  time.  A  bladeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  natural  rubber  provides  the  most  Ă&#x20AC;H[LEOH DQG UHVLOLHQW HGJH IRU ZLSLQJ DFURVV JODVV but  it  eventually  dries  out  and  deteriorates.  Heat  can  warp  the  rubber,  and  cold  can  make  it  brittle.  Sunlight,  ozone  and  road  spray  can  also  have  VLJQLÂżFDQW GHWHULRUDWLRQ HIIHFWV 'ULYHUV VKRXOG look  for  splits,  discoloration  or  worn  rubber.  If  the  wiper  blades  show  visual  evidence  of  any  damage,  the  driver  has  likely  already  noticed  streaking  and  a  partially  wiped  windshield.  Noisy  â&#x20AC;&#x153;chatteringâ&#x20AC;?  also  indicates  deterioration,  and  is  caused  by  infrequent  wiper  blade  use  or  overex- posure  to  sunlight. Knowing  the  serious  dangers  drivers  face  with  worn  wiper  blades,  neglecting  to  change  wiper  blades  should  soon  become  a  thing  of  the  past  for  consumers.

Ignoring  your  check  engine  light  could  be  an  expensive  mistake One  of  the  most  vital  signals  of  an  improp- erly  functioning  vehicle  is  the  check  engine  light  and  when  illuminated,  it  alerts  the  driver  to  a  variety  of  existing  potential  problems.  Vehicle  check-Âups  during  community  car  care  events  throughout  the  country  reveal  that  the  check  engine  light  is  on  in  nearly  one  out  of  10  vehicles,  says  the  Car  Care  Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When  the  check  engine  light  comes  on,  it  means  that  a  vehicle  system  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  such  as  the  ignition,  fuel  injection  or  emission  control  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  is  not  operating  properly,  even  if  the  vehicle Â

A  little  crack  in  your  windshield  could  be  a  big  problem (MS)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  scenario  is  all  too  common.  Drivers  are  traveling  down  the  road,  and  a  pebble  gets  kicked  up  and  hits  their  windshield,  causing  a  small  chip  to  appear.  Slowly  but  surely  that  chip  turns  into  a  spreading,  snaking  crack  that  only  gets  worse  with  each  bump  and  pothole. Having  a  broken  windshield  is  not  only  unsightly  and  a  big  inconvenience,  it  can  also  be  illegal.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  because  the  crack  reduces  the  HIÂżFDF\ RI WKH ZLQGRZ VDIHW\ PHDQLQJ LW PD\ shatter  in  the  event  of  an  impact  accident  and  cause  extensive  injuries.  The  crack  also  may Â
impede  a  driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ability  to  see  the  road  clearly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  important  to  note  that  liability  car  insurance  typically  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  cover  a  cracked  windshield  that  occurs  in  a  collision.  Instead,  drivers  hoping  to  be  covered  need  to  have  colli- sion  insurance  on  their  vehicle.  However,  not  all  windshields  crack  in  a  car  accident.  Many  are  damaged  in  non-Âaccident  related  circum- stances,  whether  this  be  a  tree  branch  that  falls  on  the  car  or  a  rock  kicked  up  from  the  road- way.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  important  to  read  an  insurance  policy  thoroughly  to  be  sure  that  non-Âaccident  related  cracks  to  the  windshield  will  be  covered.

quickly  and  reglaze  the  windshield  so  that  the  crack  may  not  even  be  noticeable  afterward. Upon  inspection,  a  mechanic  or  a  windshield  replacement  company  may  determine  that  the  crack  is  not  something  that  can  be  mended.  The  entire  windshield  will  have  to  be  replaced  at  this  point.  In  some  cases  the  windshield  can  be  removed  and  replaced  in  the  same  day. While  there  is  no  way  to  prevent  a  cracked  windshield  entirely,  there  are  certain  ways  to  reduce  the  risk.  This  includes  avoiding  running  over  any  debris  on  the  road  that  can  be  kicked  back  at  the  windshield.

Coyotesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  language  of  yips  and  howls  still  keeps  secrets
By  BRIAN  R.  MITCHELL As  the  sunset  colors  fade  from  purple  to  black,  the  forest  is  dimly  illuminated  E\ D ÂżUVW TXDUWHU PRRQ $Q HHULH VRXQG breaks  the  calm.  It  is  not  the  long,  low,  slow  howling  of  wolves  that  can  be  heard  further  north,  but  the  group  yip- howl  of  coyotes:  short  howls  that  often  rise  and  fall  in  pitch,  punctuated  with  staccato  yips,  yaps  and  barks.  When  people  hear  coyote  howls,  they  often  mistakenly  assume  that  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  hearing  a  large  pack  of  animals,  all  raising  their  voices  at  once.  But  this  is  an  auditory  illusion  called  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;beau  gesteâ&#x20AC;?  effect.  Because  of  the  variety  of  sounds  produced  by  each  coyote,  and  the  way  sound  is  distorted  as  it  passes Â
through  the  environment,  two  of  these  tricksters  can  sound  like  seven  or  eight  animals.  Group  yip-Âhowls  are  produced  by  a  mated  and  territorial  pair  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;alphaâ&#x20AC;?  coyotes,  with  the  male  howling  while  the  female  intersperses  her  yips,  barks  and  short  howls.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Betaâ&#x20AC;?  coyotes  (the  children  of  the  alpha  pair  from  previous  years)  and  current-Âyear  pups  may  join  in  if  they  are  nearby,  or  respond  with  howls  of  their  own.  And  once  one  group  of  coyotes  starts  howling,  chances  are  that  any  other  alpha  pairs  nearby  will  respond  in  kind,  with  chorus  after Â
The
chorus  of  group  yip-Âhowls  rippling  across  the  miles.   I  spent  seven  years  studying  coyote  vocal  communication  during  my  dissertation  research  at  the  University  of  California,  Berkeley.  While  Eastern  coyotes  are  a  larger  and  distinct  subspecies  from  the  Western  coyotes  that  I  worked  with,  the  basic  ¿QGLQJV RI P\ UHVHDUFK and  the  work  done  by  others  applies  to  all  coyotes.  Coyotes  have  sometimes  been  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;song  dogs,â&#x20AC;?  and  their  long  distance  songs  come  in  two  basic  types.  7KH ÂżUVW WKH JURXS \LS KRZO LV thought  to  have  the  dual  purpose  of  promoting  bonding  within  the  family  group  while  also  serving  as  a  territo- rial  display.  In  other  words,  the  coyotes  are  saying  â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  a  happy  family,  and  we  own  this  turf  so  you  better  keep  out.â&#x20AC;?  In  a  sense,  the  group  howls  create  an  auditory  fence  around  a  territory,  supplementing  the  physical  scent  marks  left  by  the  group.  Coyotes  will  also  howl  and  bark  separately.  This  second  type  of  song  is  virtually  always  an  indication  of  disturbance  or  agitation,  and  in  my  experience,  the  higher  the  proportion  of  howls,  the  more  agitated  the  coyote  is.  Coyotes  will  howl  and  bark  at  neigh- bors  who  intrude  on  their  territory,  and  at  dogs,  people  and  other  large  animals  that  they  perceive  as  a  potential  threat. My  research  documented  that  coyote  barks  and  howls  are  individually Â

VSHFLÂżF 0XFK OLNH ZH FDQ WHOO SHRSOH apart  by  their  voices,  there  is  enough  information  in  coyote  vocalizations  for  me  (OK,  my  computer  if  you  want  to  get  technical)  to  tell  individuals  apart.  If,  as  I  suspect,  coyotes  can  distinguish  each  other  by  their  song,  it  would  not  be  analogous  to  the  animals  constantly  shouting  their  own  names;Íž  it  would  be  more  akin  to  our  ability  to  recognize  Marlon  Brando  because  of  the  distinc- tive  timbre  and  cadence  of  his  voice.  Characteristics  including  dominant  pitch,  duration,  how  quickly  howls  rise  and  fall  in  pitch,  and  tendency  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;warbleâ&#x20AC;?  while  howling  all  distinguish  one  coyote  from  another.  For  howls,  this  individual  distinc- tiveness  does  not  fade  with  distance.  I  was  able  to  record  and  identify  individual  coyotes  over  a  distance  of  greater  than  one  mile.  Given  their  keen  hearing,  it  is  likely  coyotes  can  discern  individual  howls  at  much  greater  distances  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  three  miles  or  more  on  a  calm  night.  Barks,  on  the  other  hand,  degrade  quickly  over  distance,  with  the  higher  frequencies  IDGLQJ ÂżUVW 7KLV makes  it  theoretically  possible  for  coyotes  familiar  with  an  individual  (say,  a  mate  or  family  group  member)  to  determine  roughly  how  far  away  that Â
individual  is,  based  on  the  proportion  of  high  frequencies  in  the  barks.  Imagine  a  scenario  where  a  lone  coyote  is  patrolling  the  territory  bound- ary  and  comes  across  an  intruder.  He  starts  barking  and  howling,  and  his  mate  and  beta  children  come  running  to  the  right  place  because  his  howls  indicate  how  agitated  he  is,  and  his  barks  allow  his  family  to  pinpoint  the  direction  and  distance  to  his  loca- tion.  Although  I  was  not  able  to  prove  that  coyotes  can  do  these  tasks,  the  information  needed  is  present  in  their  calls  and  there  are  strong  evolutionary  advantages  to  learning  how  to  use  it. We  still  have  much  to  learn  about  coyote  vocal  communication.  Even  after  years  of  studying  coyote  calls,  I  was  barely  able  to  scratch  the  surface.  These  tricksters  hold  their  secrets  tightly.

Vets  urge  horse  owners  to  vacinate VERMONT  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Spring  is  around  the  corner,  and  with  its  arrival  comes  the  need  for  horse-Âowning  Vermonters  to  ensure  that  their  companions  are  protected  from  diseases  transmitted  by  mosquitoes,  such  as  Eastern  equine  encephalitis  (EEE)  and  West  Nile  virus  (WNV). EEE  is  a  mosquito-Âborne,  viral  infec- tion  that  can  cause  severe  neurologic  disease  in  horses,  with  mortality  rates  approaching  100  percent.  Although  horses  are  the  animals  most  susceptible  to  EEE,  the  virus  can  cause  disease  in  other  mammals  such  as  llamas  and  alpacas  and  in  emus. In  all  animals,  the  onset  of  clini- cal  signs  is  generally  three  to  10  days  after  a  bite  by  an  infected  mosquito.  Mammals  infected  with  EEE  most  commonly  exhibit  neurologic  signs Â
including  ataxia  or  incoordination,  inability  to  stand,  limb  weakness  or  paralysis,  seizures  and  death,  while  infected  emus  often  develop  hemor- rhagic  diarrhea. WNV  infection  can  cause  similar  signs  in  horses,  although  those  signs  are  often  less  severe,  and  the  mortality  rate  that  results  from  WNV  infection  is  generally  lower  than  that  associ- ated  with  EEE  infection.  Mammals  infected  with  EEE  and  WNV  are  dead- end  hosts,  meaning  that  they  generally  are  unable  to  transmit  the  diseases  to  other  animals  or  to  people.  Vermont  cases  of  EEE  and  WNV  are  required  WR EH UHSRUWHG WR WKH 2IÂżFH RI WKH 6WDWH Veterinarian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  is  the  time  of  the  year  when  horse  owners  should  be  consulting  with  their  veterinarians  to  ensure  that  their Â
horses  are  appropriately  vaccinated  for  EEE  and  WNV,â&#x20AC;?  says  Dr.  Kristin  Haas,  Vermont  state  veterinarian.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  susceptibility  to  EEE  and  WNV  infec- tion  is  not  linked  to  travel  to  shows,  fairs  or  other  commingling  events,â&#x20AC;?  she  adds.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  know  that  both  viruses  are  present  in  Vermont,  so  even  horses  that  spend  the  majority  of  their  time  on  isolated  properties  are  susceptible  and  should  be  vaccinated.â&#x20AC;? Although  vaccination  is  the  most  effective  tool  for  preventing  EEE  in  horses,  owners  may  also  protect  their  horses  from  infection  by  using  an  acceptable  insect  repellent  seasonally  DQG PHFKDQLFDO EDUULHUV VXFK DV Ă&#x20AC;\ sheets  and  face  nets.  Changing  out  water  troughs  regularly  and  removing  other  items  that  hold  water  will  help  to  reduce  mosquito  breeding  areas.

State treasurer on social investing MIDDLEBURY — Vermont State Treasurer Beth Pearce will partici- pate in a panel discussion on social- ly responsible personal investing, “Investing for the Greater Good,” on Wednesday, April 9, at 7 p.m. in the Ilsley Library Community Room (rear entrance) in downtown Mid- dlebury. This informative, moderated panel discussion on how to make socially responsible personal invest- ments will also include panelists Tom Gainey, Pax World Manage- ment;; Eric Becker, Clean Yield As- set Management;; Shawn Oxford, Bristol Financial Services;; and Rich Carpenter, Acorn Energy Co-op treasurer. Jamie Gaucher, director of WKH 0LGGOHEXU\ 2I¿FH RI %XVLQHVV Development and Innovation, will be the moderator. Each panel member will have a few minutes to make a brief presen- tation, followed by a moderated dis- cussion and questions from the audi- ence. The Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op and the ACORN Network will be co-sponsoring this event. Climate change risks are increas- ingly clear and divestment cam- paigns are gathering steam. Less clear is how to make socially re- sponsible personal investments (SRIs). Hear from expert panelists, and consider the range of socially
responsible and community-based investment opportunities. “In the years ahead, we anticipate more small local investment oppor- tunities in local renewable energy projects that will strengthen the lo- cal economy while simultaneously meeting SRI goals,” says Acorn En- ergy Co-op president Peter Caroth- ers. 7KH EHQH¿WV RI PDNLQJ LQYHVW- ments in local food and renewable energy projects, as well as an update of new Securities and Exchange Commission rules that will encour- age crowd funding will also be dis- cussed. This event will give area residents information to help them better understand their investment options. “Our work on money, the third leg of relocalization (after food and energy), has been incubating for a number of years as we researched the tools to encourage greater invest- ment of local, non-accredited capi- WDO ÀRZV LQWR WKH $GGLVRQ &RXQW\ economy,” says Jonathan Corcoran, president of the ACORN Network. “This SRI panel discussion is a JUHDW ¿UVW VWHS LQ LGHQWLI\LQJ VRPH RI those tools, and advancing the dis- cussion.” Light refreshments will be pro- vided, and the general public is wel- come.

Kitchenware (Continued from Page 2) thing or two about retail. “We’re combining our interests and talents here,” Barnes said. Their focus will be to offer in Middlebury various items that folks would otherwise have to travel an hour or more to purchase in Rutland or Chittenden counties. The store menu will include small appliances, cookware, bake ware, tools and gad- gets. Video displays will be available for instruction, demonstration and entertainment. The new store’s wares will run the gamut from bargain to premium, including such brands as All-Clad, KitchenAid, Le Creuset, Wüsthof, Lodge and Cuisinart. On the elec- tronics front, the store will offer televisions, speaker systems, Blu- ray disc systems and other items from such brands as Sony, Bose and Boston Acoustics. Barnes and Alexander said they will only carry products earning the best industry reviews. And they said their pricing will be competitive with larger stores. They added they will be able to order items that customers PLJKW QRW ¿QG LQ WKH VWRUH GXULQJ D particular visit. The two partners consulted with some local businesspeople and con- sumers prior to establishing Otter Creek Kitchenware and Electron-
ics. Among those giving them ad- vice: Steve Paddock, director of the Vermont Tech Enterprise Center, and Doug and Deb Anderson, who owned and operated the former housewares store “Dada” on Mid- dlebury’s Main Street. “We have developed a new mix of offerings that cannot be found in
most small retail stores,” Barnes said. They are optimistic their store will EH VXFFHVVIXO DQG ¿OO D YRLG LQ WKH OR- cal market. “We are grateful to the Marble Works for doing everything possible to create this great space for us,” Barnes said. “We feel there are many great things on the horizon for the Marble Works.”
