Which  brings  us  back  to  the  old  saying  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  boys  will  be  boys.  Re-­ gardless  of  their  age,  the  men  at  Cattails  hold  nothing  back  when  teasing  the  women  in  the  room.  Leavitt  takes  this  time  to  cor-­ rect  Kirbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  earlier  statement  that  women  are  not  allowed  in  the  club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  love  having  women  come,â&#x20AC;?  he  says.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  exclude  them,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  basically  exclusively  men.â&#x20AC;?

He  thinks  on  this  for  a  moment.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably  because  women  would  run  for  their  lives.â&#x20AC;?

Underneath  all  of  the  teasing,  though,  is  a  true  sense  of  friend-­ ship  among  members  of  the  group.  For  18  years,  they  have  met  and  shared  their  stories.  They  have  shared  their  joy  over  lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  highs,  and  they  have  shared  their  grief,  as  they  did  when  they  attended  the  PHPRULDO IRU *LEVRQ LQ 0DUFK â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  camaraderie  among  men  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  unique,â&#x20AC;?  Leavitt  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  guess  that  sort  of  thing  never  leaves  men.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  arrests  that  get  the  most  media  attention,  with  stories  about  the  July  28  rally  in  the  Boston  and  Providence  papers,  on  the  AP  wire  and  :%85 UDGLR DQG LQ WKH +XIÂżQJWRQ Post.

In  the  Massachusetts  courts  the  next  day,  the  arraignments  begin  for  those  arrested  at  Brayton  Point.

At  home  that  day,  I  call  the  solar  company  and  make  a  down  payment  to  have  solar  electric  panels  put  on  the  roof  of  my  house.  For  now,  they  are  still  burning  coal  at  Brayton  Point.  But  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  damned  if  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  gen-­ erating  any  electricity  for  me.  I  plan  to  make  my  own.

A  strong  feature  of  the  CCSSM,  in  addition  to  the  meticulous  devel-­ opment  of  mathematical  content,  is  the  description  of  eight  Practice  Standards.  To  quote  mathematician  Uri  Treisman,  the  Practice  Stan-­ dards  are  â&#x20AC;&#x153;exquisite.â&#x20AC;?  Consider  the  ¿UVW Âł0DNH VHQVH RI SUREOHPV DQG persevere  in  solving  them.â&#x20AC;?  What  a  wonderful  antidote  to  the  myth  that  math  is  just  thoughtless  implemen-­ tation  of  procedures!  The  descrip-­ WLRQ EHJLQV Âł0DWKHPDWLFDOO\ SURÂż-­ cient  students  start  by  explaining  to  themselves  the  meaning  of  a  prob-­ lem  ...  They  monitor  and  evaluate  their  progress  and  change  course  if  QHFHVVDU\ 0DWKHPDWLFDOO\ SURÂż-­ cient  students  check  their  answers  to  problems  using  a  different  meth-­ od,  and  they  continually  ask  them-­ selves,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Does  this  make  sense?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Surely  perseverance  is  a  habit  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  like  to  encourage.

The  Vermont  teachers  I  work  with  are  doing  their  best  to  adapt  to  the  Common  Core  standards,  rec-­ ognizing  their  value  while  antici-­ pating  the  inevitable  wrinkles  in  the  transition.  Some  have  experienced  the  draconian  NCLB  consequences  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  school  reorganizations  and  the  resignation  of  a  strong  principal  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  of  excessively  high  stakes  at-­ tached  to  test  results.  If  you  object  to  those  high  stakes,  then  contact  your  members  of  Congress.  If  you  dislike  the  idea  of  common  stan-­ dards  among  states,  consider  chil-­ dren  of  military  personnel  or  mi-­ grant  workers.  If  you  object  to  the  Standards  themselves,  read  them  and  identify  exactly  where  your  disagreements  lie;Íž  perhaps  you  can  contribute  to  future  revisions.  For  my  part,  I  am  convinced  that  stu-­ GHQWV DFURVV 9HUPRQW ZLOO EHQHÂżW from  the  adoption  of  the  Common  Core  State  Standards.

Salisburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Development  Review  Board  reviewed  the  application,  listened  to  public  testimony  and  granted  the  project  a  conditional  permit  for  the  Panther  Bedding  and  Compost  operation.  Conditions  in-­ FOXGHG WKDW DVVRFLDWHG WUXFN WUDIÂżF be  limited  to  six  round-­trips  per  day;Íž  DQG WKDW D PLQLPXP RI ÂżYH SDUNLQJ spaces  be  provided  at  the  site.

Barrie  Bailey  was  one  of  several Â

neighbors  who  had  voiced  concerns  about  potential  impacts  from  the  IES/Goodrich  Farm  project.  She  credited  the  applicants  for  assuaging  most  of  the  neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  concerns,  to  the  extent  that  the  DRB  public  hear-­ ings  were  very  smooth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  a  majority  of  people  are  pleased  with  the  outcome,â&#x20AC;?  Bailey  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  communication  has  been  WHUULÂżF ´ Freeguard  echoed  that  sentiment.  He  said  IES  President  Dan  Smith  had  three  productive  meetings  with  neighbors  prior  to  the  public  hearing  process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Smith)  said  from  the  beginning,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If  people  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  this,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  not  going  to  proceed  with  it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Freeguard  said.

Smith  could  not  be  reached  for  comment  for  this  article.

The  applicants  are  hoping  for  con-­ tinued  smooth  sailing  on  the  permit-­

ting  front,  as  they  move  to  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Act  250  and  Act  248  reviews.  If  successful,  IES  and  Goodrich  Farm  would  be  able  to  install  three  meth-­ ane  digesters  and  a  4-­inch  pipeline  to  manufacture  and  send  biogas  to  Middlebury  College.  This  would  also  enhance  the  farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ability  to  de-­ liquefy  the  manure  for  the  cow  bed-­ ding  and  compost.  Current  plans  call  for  Vermont  Gas  to  install  the  4-­inch  pipeline  from  the  Goodrich  Farm  and  within  the  public  rights-­of-­way  along  Shard  Villa  Road,  Three  Mile  Bridge  Road  and  Creek  Road  to  ul-­ timately  connect  with  the  41-­mile  Addison  Natural  Gas  Project  in  Mid-­ dlebury.  And  Freeguard  added  IES  is  committed  to  pursuing  the  pipeline  to  Middlebury  College  even  if  the  Addison  Natural  Gas  Project  does  not  become  a  reality.

ADDISON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Chimney  Point  State  Historic  Site  in  Addi-­ son  offers  its  last  hands-­on  month-­ ly  program  of  the  season,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blast  from  the  Past:  How  They  Made  It  in  New  France,â&#x20AC;?  on  Saturday,  Aug.  17.  The  program  runs  between  1:30  and  3:30  p.m.  This  time  the  focus  is  on  the  crafts  and  skills  that  were  needed  for  living  in  the  Chimney  Point  area  from  the  1730s  to  1759,  when  this  was  the  frontier  of  New  France.

Site  interpreter  Karl  Crannell  will  take  inspiration  from  some  RI WKH DUFKDHRORJLFDO ÂżQGV IURP the  Lake  Champlain  Bridge  proj-­ ect  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  such  as  a  large  French  axe  head  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  to  demonstrate  these  skills.  How  would  the  soldiers  in  the  1731  French  fort  at  Chimney  Point  attach  handles  to  their  new  axes  or  make  a  new  handle  if  the  old  one  broke?  When  only  limited  supplies  were  sent  by  boat  from  the  kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  store  in  Montreal  to  the  fort  or  the  civil-­

ians  in  the  area,  how  would  people  make  a  wooden  bench  or  table  for  their  new  house?

This  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  special  archaeology  exhibit  displays  evidence  from  the  1731  French  fort  and  French  occu-­ pation.

The  Chimney  Point  State  Histor-­ ic  Site  is  located  at  8149  VT  Route  17,  at  the  foot  of  the  new  Lake  Champlain  Bridge.  It  presents  the  history  of  the  three  earliest  cultures  here  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Native  American,  French  Colonial,  and  early  American.  Call  802-­759-­2412  for  information.  Ad-­ mission  is  $3  for  adults  and  free  for  children  under  15,  and  includes  visiting  the  museum.  The  site  is  open  Wednesdays  through  Sundays  and  Monday  holidays  through  Oct.  14,  9:30  a.m.  to  5  p.m.

Redemption Center George Longenecker

I visit the redemption center With my deposit bottles and cans, A dank room at the back of a convenience store, Where at the counter I meet the redeemer, Taking the empty vessels from his patrons, Budweiser, Long Trail Ale, Miller and Pepsi, All day his bottles and cans clink and clang like bells.

How much will I save if I redeem? *]bbQVO PWZVM\[ IVL Ă&#x2020;QM[ XZM[[ IOIQV[\ The screen door of the bottle room, Hovering there seeking sucrose, And we hover seeking succor Or communion, libation and salvation.

Amidst the sour stench of old beer and soda, Vapor of gasoline from the pumps outside, I wait with the other customers; We have saved every bottle and can For this our day of redemption.

I began my career in Middlebury in 1989, working at Hair Network until 1997. After 13 years in upstate NY, I have returned to open my organic salon which offers products and services with your health and well-being in mind.

Many people are compelled to put more effort into living a healthier Licensed Cosmotologist for over 20 years lifestyle. Perhaps some have even restrained from pursuing the +MZ\QĂ&#x2026; ML +WTWZQ[\ NWZ desire to blend or cover their grey hair, add some highlights or Organic Color Systems curl due to concern of exposure to harmful chemicals.

I am committed to offering my clients the safest and most ecologically minded products on the market today. A conviction which became more personal when cancer made its unwelcome intrusion into my immediate family.
