Guest  Editorial The  â€˜new  normal’  or is  it  Vermont’s  denial? It’s  being  called  the  new  normal.  Our  unemployment  rate  is  near  full  em-­ ployment,  the  economy,  while  not  robust,  still  trudges  forward,  real  estate  prices  are  edging  upward  â€”  but  the  state’s  budget  is  forever  in  the  red. We  can’t  seem  to  get  ahead. 7KH QH[W EXGJHW \HDU FRQWLQXHV WKH WUHQG 7KH 6KXPOLQ DGPLQLVWUDWLRQ KDV DVNHG HDFK RI LWV DJHQFLHV WR VXEPLW D EXGJHW WKDW UHĂ€HFWV D SHUFHQW FXW ² totaling  roughly  $31  million. This  follows  a  downward  revision  by  the  state’s  economists  as  to  the  state’s  revenue  forecast.  It’s  been  revised  to  three  percent,  down  from  4.8  percent. The  problem  is  that  the  state  has  depleted  most  of  its  reserves  and  its  spending  has  obviously  been  above  sustainable  levels.  Another  major  con-­ sideration  is  that  the  federal  government  is  also  running  deeply  in  the  red  and  is  less  willing  to  help  states  shoulder  their  burdens.  That  unwillingness  could  increase  depending  on  the  outcome  of  November’s  general  election. Either  way,  it’s  unlikely  Vermont  will  experience  an  economy  robust  enough  to  meet  present  spending  patterns. That  should  not  be  a  surprise.  Our  spending  has  been  above  the  level  of  LQĂ€DWLRQ IRU VRPH WLPH 7KH VTXHH]H IURP WKH IHGV KDV EHHQ ORQJ SUHGLFWHG Our  growth  rate  is  anemic.  And  we  don’t  have  an  economy  built  to  roar. We  can  wring  our  hands  in  frustration  that  things  are  as  they  are,  but  that’s  frustration  built  on  expectations  that  were  not  realistic  from  the  outset.  We  keep  expecting  to  be  rescued,  but  by  whom  and  for  what  reasons? 7KH HQHP\ LVQÂśW RXWVLGH RXU ERUGHUV 6DOYDWLRQ GRHVQÂśW FRPH ZLWK D 'HP-­ ocratic  or  Republican  label.  The  issue  is  one  of  habits.  Or  inertia.  We  keep  doing  things  the  same  basic  way  we’ve  always  done  things  â€”  little  of  it  based  on  any  real  understanding  of  what  works  and  what  doesn’t. We  don’t  really  measure  things.  We  just  add  to  them. -HE 6SDXOGLQJ VHFUHWDU\ RI DGPLQLVWUDWLRQ KLQWHG DW WKLV UHFHQWO\ ZKHQ he  said  most  of  the  growth  in  state  spending  comes  from  â€œformula-­driven  spending.â€?  When  a  program  becomes  part  of  the  state  budget,  the  natural  inclination  is  to  expand  it.  And  we  do. The  result  is  a  budget  that  expands  beyond  our  ability  to  pay. The  inclination  of  this  administration  â€”  and  all  others  â€”  is  to  spread  the  pain  and  have  each  agency  submit  reduced  budgets.  That’s  the  plan  to  reach  WKH PLOOLRQ ÂżJXUH That’s  the  easy  way.  But  it  doesn’t  work.  That’s  like  letting  a  little  air  out  RI WKH EDOORRQ NQRZLQJ IXOO ZHOO WKDW LW ZLOO EH LQĂ€DWHG ZLWK WKH QH[W EUHDWK 7KH PRUH GLIÂżFXOW ZD\ LV WR GHFLGH ZKDW ZRUNV DQG ZKDW GRHVQÂśW DQG WR JHW ULG RI ZKDW GRHVQÂśW 7KH PRUH GLIÂżFXOW ZD\ LV WR IRUFH WKH DJHQFLHV WR UHWKLQN their  missions,  to  place  a  value  on  the  need  to  change  their  habits.  It  may,  for  H[DPSOH EH DGYLVDEOH WR RIIHU VWDWH HPSOR\HHV ÂżQDQFLDO LQFHQWLYHV IRU VXJ-­ JHVWLRQV WKDW VDYH WKH VWDWH PRQH\ RU LGHDV WR LPSURYH HIÂżFLHQF\ It’s  also  important  to  understand  the  difference  between  the  agencies  and  their  respective  needs.  As  counterintuitive  as  it  may  seem,  not  all  budgets  can  be  cut  without  repercussions  that  end  up  costing  the  state  more.  For  example,  if  a  department  has  plans  to  upgrade  its  outdated  IT  system  it  may  far  outweigh  the  costs. That’s  why,  from  a  management  perspective,  it’s  smarter  to  be  surgical  in  how  the  state’s  budget  can  be  cut.  It’s  not  a  tab  of  aspirin  that  all  agencies  are  asked  to  swallow  â€”  with  full  recovery  promised  moments  later.  Instead,  the  task  for  administrators  is  to  pull  out  the  knife  and  cut  the  lowest-­performing  parts  of  their  operations,  the  parts  that  matter  least. It’s  completely  doable.  Let’s  also  remember  that  a  4  percent  cut  includes  a  baked-­in  increase  in  excess  of  four  percent.  If  the  average  budget  has  been  increased  at  roughly  three  percent  for  the  last  several  years,  then  obviously  cutting  4  percent  doesn’t  even  get  back  to  last  year’s  base  budget. We’re  not  talking  about  a  lot  of  pain. What  we  are  talking  about  is  the  need  to  get  away  from  the  â€œnew  normal,â€?  a  term  becoming  synonymous  with  denial.

Middlebury presents:

Francois Paque!e stopped in last week with two huge daikon radishes that he grew at his garden in Cornwall. Francois said that it has been 30 years since he brought a veggie in to our game and he decided it was time to bring in another. The larger daikon that he brought in was 8.5 inches around. We had a larger one later in the week that took over the frontrunner spot, but this one was pre!y impressive! Kristin Kra"check of New Haven dropped in last week to our office to show off a big zucchini that she grew. Kristin said she grew this big zucchini for her boss and that a"er everyone in her office saw it, they told her to bring it in to our game! The big veggie was 27 inches long and 17.5 inches around. Phyllis Bowdish is a returning player to our Garden Game. Last year she was the winner for the cauliflower category. This year she brought in another cauliflower from her garden in Weybridge. This one wasn’t as big as last year’s winner, but was pre!y big at 14 inches across.

Allie Nadeau stopped by our office before she headed out to Addison County Fair and Field Days last week with a big cucumber that she grew in East Middlebury. The big cuke was 17 inches long and 8.5 inches around. Allie must have a green thumb for her veggies to be so big! George Biscoe came in to our office last week with a new crop of vegetables to enter into our Garden Game. George has been a winner in past years. This visit he brought in a cauliflower, a cabbage and a cantaloupe. The cauliflower took over the frontrunner spot at 19 inches across. The cabbage wasn’t quite big enough at 30 inches around to beat the one he brought in a few weeks ago, and the cantaloupe was our first one of the season at 19.5 inches around.

CATEGORIES

Last week Stephen and Kyan Barcomb stopped by our office to show us a big cucumber that their grandmother grew in West Addison. They told us that they didn’t help Grandma out with the gardening, but they would help her out with eating all her veggies! This big cucumber was 24 inches long and 6.5 inches around. It takes over the lead for the category. Gale Quenneville visited our office to enter a broccoli that her husband Dave grew in their garden in Whiting. Last year Dave had some big veggies that his grandsons brought in for him. This big broccoli was 12 inches across but wasn’t quite big enough to take over the lead for the category. Peter Fournier is proud of the big veggies he grows in his garden in New Haven, but is a bit camera shy when it comes to our Garden Game. This week he brought in a long cucumber that was 24 inches long and 5.5 inches around. He also brought in a big cauliflower that was 15.5 inches across. The cauliflower was big, but not big enough to beat our frontrunner. On Wednesday we had a visit from Pam Thomas who brought in a big radish and a huge zucchini that she grew in her garden in Whiting. Pam’s radish took over the lead for this popular new category at 10.75 inches around. Her giant zucchini wasn’t big enough to take the lead, but was 23 inches long and 16.25 inches around. Pam says her secret is rabbit manure to make her garden so bountiful.

From experience ART PROVENCHER OF Bridport has been entering tractor pull events at Ad-­ dison County Fair and Field Days for 45 years and he brought his experience and his Farmall H with him on Aug. 5 for the antique tractor pull. He visited with fellow pullers, including Mike Tetrault, above, before returning to his tractor to wait for his turn in front of the weight sled.

A  snakeskin  can  be  a  useful  predator  deterrent  for  birds By  SUSAN  SHEA If  you  have  a  woodpile,  you  may  have  come  across  a  shed  snakeskin  â€”  a  translucent,  onion  skin-­like  wrapper  imprinted  with  the  snake’s  scale  pattern.  Or  perhaps  you’ve  seen  one  along  a  foundation  or  stone  wall.  Why  do  snakes  shed  their  skin?  Most  animals,  including  humans,  shed  skin  cells,  explained  herpetolo-­ gist  Jim  Andrews,  who  coordinates  the  Vermont  Reptile  and  Amphibian  Atlas.  â€œThe  difference  is  that  humans  are  continually  shedding  skin.  Snakes  shed  only  periodically;Íž  hence  they  shed  the  entire  skin  at  once.â€?   A  snake’s  skin  is  dry  and  covered  with  scales.  The  scales  are  made  of  keratin,  the  same  protein  that’s  found  LQ \RXU Âż QJHUQDLOV /DUJHU VFDOHV RQ the  belly  help  a  snake  move  and  grip  surfaces.  A  snake’s  eyelids  are  trans-­ parent  scales,  permanently  closed.  Shedding,  or  ecdysis,  replaces  a  snake’s  old,  worn  skin.  It  removes  external  parasites  like  mites  or  ticks  and  increases  the  visibility  of  the  reptile’s  skin  pattern.  The  new  skin  is  clean  and  bright. When  a  snake  is  ready  to  shed,  it  stops  eating  and  slithers  to  a  safe  place.  Its  outer  skin  becomes  dull  and  dry.  Fluid  from  the  lymphatic  system  spreads  under  this  skin,  sepa-­ rating  it  from  the  new  skin  beneath  LW 7KLV Ă€ XLG JLYHV WKH VQDNHÂśV H\HV a  gray  or  bluish  cast  and  clouds  its  vision.  $IWHU D IHZ GD\V WKH Ă€ XLG LV UHDE sorbed,  and  the  snake’s  eyes  clear.  Its  body  begins  to  expand  and  contract,  a  process  that  loosens  the  old  skin. Â

Eventually  the  snake  rubs  its  nose  or  head  on  a  rough  surface  and  the  old  skin  lodges  and  begins  to  peel.  The  snake  then  slithers  forward,  turning  the  old  skin  inside  out  and  leaving  it  behind,  like  we  would  take  off  a  sock.  The  whole  process  takes  several  days  to  a  week. Andrews  can  identify  the  species  of  snake  by  holding  a  shed  skin  up  to  the  light.  He  counts  the  number  of  rows  of  scales,  the  scales  of  each  type,  and  notes  whether  the  scales  are  keeled  (ridged)  or  not.  He  has  used  this  method  to  survey  for  snakes.  Andrews  has  poked  around  in  hollow  trees  and  old  sheds  in  Rutland  County  searching  for  the  Eastern  ratsnake,  a  threatened  species  in  Vermont  which  can  grow  up  to  six  feet  long.  He  has  found  shed  ratsnake  skins  hanging  from  rafters  and  rusty  nails.  On  ledges  and  cliffs,  he  has  discovered  the  shed  skins  of  the  milk  snake,  a  tan  snake  with  brown  blotches,  two  to  three  feet  long.  Andrews  has  also  seen  the  state-­endangered  timber  rattlesnake  in  western  Vermont.  Each  time  a  rattlesnake  sheds,  he  said,  a  thickened  section  of  the  dead  skin  material  is  left  attached  to  its  tail,  forming  another  segment  of  its  rattle. The  frequency  of  shedding  varies  with  the  species  of  snake,  its  age,  gender,  size,  reproductive  state,  diet,  and  the  season.  On  average,  snakes  shed  three  times  per  year.  Young  snakes  shed  more  often  because  they  grow  more  quickly.  Some  snakes  shed  after  hibernation,  before  breed-­ ing,  or  before  egg  laying. Â

What  happens  to  snakeskins?  Many  deteriorate  or  are  eaten  by  insects  or  other  animals.  Some  are  incorporated  into  birds’  nests.  In  the  1RUWKHDVW JUHDW FUHVWHG Ă€ \FDWFK ers  and  tufted  titmice  are  known  to  use  snakeskins  as  nesting  material.  Flycatchers  often  drape  a  snakeskin  on  the  outside  of  their  tree  holes,  and  also  weave  skins  into  the  nest  itself.  This  tactic  appears  to  be  a  deterrent  to  nest  predators.  In  an  experiment  in  Arkansas,  where  both  rat  snakes  DQG JUHDW FUHVWHG Ă€ \FDWFKHUV DUH common,  scientists  installed  60  nest  boxes  and  placed  either  quail  eggs  RU DUWLÂż FLDO HJJV RI PRGHOLQJ FOD\ LQ each.  They  put  one  or  more  snake-­ skins  in  40  of  the  boxes;Íž  20  boxes  had  no  snakeskin.  None  of  the  nests  with  snakeskins  were  attacked  by  predators.  Flying  squirrels  ate  eggs  in  20  percent  of  the  nests  without  snakeskins. If  you’d  like  to  inspect  a  snake-­ skin  for  yourself,  or  perhaps  drape  it  in  front  of  a  birdhouse,  look  for  VKHG VNLQV WKLV VXPPHU LQ Âż UH wood  piles,  compost  contain-­ ers,  under  loose  bark,  and  on  sunny  ledges  â€”  all  favorite  haunts  of  snakes.

Nelson  (Continued  from  Page  7) Chris  Nelson,  a  chainsaw  carver  from  Lincoln,  shared  his  thoughts  on  his  trade  and  life. “I  started  doing  this  in  May  2013,â€?  Nelson  said,  â€œso  about  14  months  now.â€? Nelson,  a  former  road  foreman,  taught  himself  to  carve  with  a  chain-­ saw  when  he  got  tired  of  his  old  job.  Now  he  carves  more  or  less  full-­ time,  and  says  that  in  recent  months  his  business  has  started  to  pay  off. “It’s  been  getting  a  lot  more  noto-­ riety,â€?  Nelson  said.  His  carvings  are  on  display  at  the  Jerusalem  Corners  Country  Store  in  Starksboro  year-­ round. Part  artist,  part  craftsman,  Nel-­ son  is  also  a  natural  entertainer.  The  39-­year-­old  often  travels  to  fairs  to  do  quick  carvings  â€”  sculptures  that  take  about  half  an  hour  â€”  for  audi-­ ences  of  fairgoers.  He  also  clearly  enjoys  talking  to  passersby  about  his  craft. “I  put  on  a  show,  and  entertain  people,â€?  Nelson  said. For  Nelson  it’s  also  important  that  he  gives  back  to  the  community  through  his  work.  He  tries  to  keep  in  the  habit  of  donating  carvings  to  charitable  causes.  â€œI  think  it’s  important  to  stay  in  the  habit  and  remember  where  you  came  from.  Pay  it  forward,â€?  he  said  of  raising  money  for  charity,  admit-­ ting,  â€œI’m  a  bit  of  an  idealist  that  way.â€? Though  he  admits  it  was  tough  breaking  into  the  understandably  niche  market  of  chainsaw  carving,  Nelson  believes  that  his  business  has  really  come  into  its  own  this  summer,  as  he  travels  to  more  fairs,  perfects  his  craft,  and  spreads  his  en-­ thusiasm. Âł7KLV LV WKH ÂżUVW UHDO OLQH RI ZRUN I’ve  been  in  where  I’m  doing  what  I  love  and  getting  paid  for  it,â€?  he  said  with  a  big  smile. —  Weyland  Joyner

Horse  and  rider  work  together  in  competition Brief,  heavy  rain  Tuesday  night  didn’t  dampen  spirits  at  Addison  County  Fair  and  Field  Days,  and  the  Gymkhana  horse  competition  got  under  way  after  a  brief  delay  as  a  rainbow  showed  itself  over  the  horse  ring. Among  the  approximately  50  en-­ tries  in  this  year’s  Gymkhana  were  local  riders  of  all  ages  and  experi-­ ence  levels,  from  pre-­adolescents  to  people  of  middle  age  and  older. “I’ve  been  riding  since  I  was  ¿YH ´ VDLG 0D.DLOD &RWD RI Bristol.  Cota  and  her  friend  12-­year-­ old  Madison  Cummings  of  Brandon,  both  veterans  of  Gymkhana  at  Field  Days,  competed  in  the  Junior  divi-­ sion  of  the  games  Tuesday  on  their  horses  Little  Bit  and  Disco,  respec-­ tively. The  evening  started  off  with  key-­ hole  racing,  an  event  in  which  rid-­ ers  canter  up  to  a  keyhole-­shaped  set  of  cones,  navigate  the  sharp  turn  required,  and  then  sprint  back  to  the  gates  in  as  short  a  time  as  possible.

Next  up  was  barrel  racing,  a  clas-­ sic  Western  riding  competition.  Like  keyhole,  barrel  racing  requires  nimbleness  and  poise  on  the  part  of  both  rider  and  horse,  but  barrel  rac-­ ing  involves  three  tight  turns  around  oil  drum-­size  barrels,  arranged  in  a  large  triangle.  Though  it  was  exciting  to  see  who  scored  highest  in  the  differ-­ ent  events,  the  real  joy  of  watching  Gymkhana  was  simply  watching  the  horses  and  riders  work  together,  demonstrating  the  time  and  effort  put  into  training  and  practice  over  the  past  year  in  preparation  for  Fair  and  Field  Days.  â€”  Weyland  Joyner

Roger  Layn  passes  on  blacksmithing  tradition On  the  opening  day  of  Field  Days  last  Tuesday,  the  blacksmith-­ ing  barn  at  the  Addison  County  Fairgrounds  was  dedicated  to  Rog-­ er  Layn  and  his  family  in  honor  of  Layn’s  lifelong  contribution  to  the  fair. The  94-­year-­old  Monkton  resi-­ dent  is  a  longtime  dairy  farmer  and  a  collector  of  antique  equipment.  â€œI  really  don’t  think  it  was  nec-­ essary,â€?  said  Layn,  regarding  the  building’s  dedication  in  his  honor.  â€œI  appreciate  it,  however.â€? Layn  has  been  involved  with  Field  Days  since  it  moved  to  its  current  site  in  the  1960s,  he  said.  He  donated  the  forge  for  the  black-­ smith  barn.  The  barn  was  erected  in  2009  from  the  frame  of  an  old  New  Haven  barn.  Now,  after  the  dedication,  it  bears  Layn’s  name  on  a  sign  above  the  entrance Many  of  the  engines  on  display  under  the  antique  equipment  tent  are  also  a  part  of  Layn’s  extensive  collection. “Field  Days  has  something  for  everyone,â€?  said  Layn,  adding  that,  â€œthere  seems  to  be  a  lot  of  interest  in  antiques.â€? Layn  also  emphasized  the  im-­ portance  of  passing  on  agricultural  traditions  to  younger  generations. “It’s  up  to  your  generation  to  keep  these  activities  alive,â€?  he  said,  citing  examples  of  young  people  at  the  fair  who  have  taken  up  driv-­ ing  horses  or  using  old  fashioned  hand-­mowing  techniques. Layn  has  inspired  others  to  join  the  Field  Days  tradition  of  educat-­ ing  others  about  agriculture  and  history. Steve  Pecca  of  Waltham  started  helping  out  with  the  blacksmithing  exhibition  about  15  years  ago,  he  said.  He  was  spending  his  week  at  Field  Days  explaining  the  science  and  art  of  blacksmithing  to  visi-­ tors  and  helping  to  brand  the  Field  Days  seal  onto  shingles  for  souve-­ nirs. “I’m  here  because  of  Roger’s  in-­ Ă€XHQFH ´ VDLG 3HFFD ZKR VDLG WKDW he  saw  how  much  fun  the  people  working  at  the  forge  were  having,  and  decided  to  join. “Roger  enjoys  making  people  happy  and  making  them  excited  to  learn  new  things,â€?  Pecca  said. Â

FIELD  DAYS  HAS  dedicated  its  blacksmith  shop  to  Monkton’s  Roger  Layn,  who  has  been  involved  with  the  fair  for  more  than  60  years,  and  donated  the  forge  used  by  volunteer  blacksmiths  at  Field  Days. Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell

A  few  exhibits  away  from  Meigs  Cotton  Candy,  the  Skinny  Pancake  has  a  tent.  The  Burlington-­based  eatery,  which  specializes  in  crepes,  is  a  somewhat  newer  addition  at  the  fairgrounds.  Field  Days  is  actually  one  of  the  smaller  of  the  Vermont  fairs  and  festivals  they  work,  said  manager  Hayes  Dunlap  of  Burling-­ ton. “We’re  pretty  unique,â€?  said  em-­ ployee  Milo  Golub  of  Burlington.  â€œWe  serve  local,  wholesome  food.â€?
