Musicians to perform in support of food shelf

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — It’s not un-­ usual for aspiring musicians to sim-­ ply play for food or drink as com-­ pensation for a gig in order to get a foot in the entertainment door. Clint Bierman and his band, The Grift, are fortunate enough to have the tal-­ ent and reputation that ensures their performances are rewarded with a paycheck rather than free beer or leftovers from a buffet table.

But on Monday, Dec. 22, Bierman and around 15 other well-­known Vermont acts will go back to playing IRU IRRG ² WKLV WLPH IRU WKH EHQH¿W of others who might otherwise go STUDENTS TIFFANY MORRICETTE and Lianna Sargent check out the Swap and Shop preview at Middlebury hungry.

National forest considers backcountry skiing plan

By EVAN JOHNSON GOSHEN — Every winter, ski-­ ers and snowboarders venture into the woods and hillsides in search of untracked snow. In the future, skiers

in southern Addison County may not have to venture far.

This winter the U.S. Forest Service is considering a proposal to develop four backcountry skiing glades total-­

ing approximately 210 acres on land in the Green Mountain National For-­ est in the towns of Goshen, Rochester and Chittenden.

The initiative is being spearheaded

by the Rochester Area Sport Trails Alliance (RASTA), a group of moun-­ tain bikers and backcountry-­oriented skiers that has been exploring devel-­ (See Backcountry, Page 43)

BILL Â MCKIBBEN

Addison  Independent,  Monday,  December  8,  2014  —  PAGE  3

McKibben (Continued  from  Page  2) The  announcement  of  the  leader-­ ship  change  hailed  all  the  way  from  Scandinavia,  where  McKibben  on  Tuesday  received  a  Right  Liveli-­ hood  Award  from  the  parliament  of  Sweden.  The  award,  established  in  1980  and  considered  by  many  to  be  as  prestigious  as  the  Nobel  Prize,  is  given  to  people  who  are  working  hard  to  address  the  most  urgent  is-­ sues  facing  the  world.

The  organization  commended  McKibben  for  “mobilising  grow-­ ing  popular  support  in  the  USA  and  around  the  world  for  strong  action  to  counter  the  threat  of  global  cli-­ mate  change.�

McKibben  said  he  was  honored  to  receive  the  award,  and  noted  that  he  donated  the  prize  money  (the  500,000  Swedish  Krona  amount-­ ing  to  roughly  $67,000)  to  350. org  to  continue  its  mission  of  rais-­ ing  awareness  of  climate  change  worldwide.

While  350.org  has  organized  demonstrations  in  more  than  a  hun-­ dred  countries  and  employs  a  staff  of  dozens,  the  group  traces  its  roots  to  Addison  County  and  Middle-­ bury  College.  In  2007,  McKibben  and  a  handful  of  students  who  had  worked  on  climate  issues  on  cam-­ pus  formed  the  group.  Much  of  the  initial  infrastructure  for  350.org  was  laid  by  the  Sunday  Night  Group,  an  on-­campus  group  of  students  who  took  a  class  on  cli-­ mate  activism  taught  by  economics  professor  Jon  Isham  in  2005.

Many  former  Middlebury  stu-­ dents  still  work  with  the  organiza-­ tion,  and  McKibben  praised  them  for  shepherding  350.org  through  its  initial  years.  “350.org  is  blessed  with  an  amazing  staff,  including  the  crew  of  then-­young  people  with  whom  I  launched  the  group,�  he  said.  “They  are  less  young  now,  and  they’ve  turned  into  some  of  the  most  tal-­ ented  organizers  on  the  planet.�

McKibben,  who  will  turn  54  on  Monday,  said  he’s  proud  of  the  growth  and  success  of  the  environ-­ mental  movement  since  the  publi-­ cation  of  “The  End  of  Nature�  and  looks  forward  to  the  next  quarter-­ century  of  climate  activism.  “Together  we’ve  built  a  move-­ ment;͞  now,  together,  we’ll  deploy  it  to  confront  the  greatest  crisis  we’ve  ever  faced,�  he  wrote.  “2014  will  be  the  hottest  year  in  the  plan-­ et’s  history;͞  that  means  we  have  to  make  2015  the  politically  hottest  season  the  fossil  fuel  industry  has  ever  come  up  against,  and  2016  af-­ ter  that.�

RECENT  MILESTONES The  climate  movement  has  won  some  monumental  victories  in  2014  alone.  On  the  same  day  as  the  People’s  Climate  March,  the Â

AROUND  100  MEMBERS  of  the  local  and  college  community  staged  a  candlelight  vigil  in  Triangle  Park  Thursday  to  draw  attention  to  continu-­ ing  racial  inequality  in  this  country.

Local  vigil  casts  light  on  social  justice  issue MIDDLEBURY  —  A  group  of  Addison  County  residents  gathered  at  Middlebury’s  Triangle  Park  this  past  Thursday  evening  to  express  dismay  at  recent  grand  jury  deci-­ VLRQV QRW WR LQGLFW SROLFH RIÂżFHUV for  killing  unarmed  black  men.  The  event,  billed  as  a  candlelight  “Black  Lives  Matterâ€?  vigil,  was  one  of  many  nationwide  events  urging  greater  police  accountability  and  more  justice  for  communities  of  color.

around  town  and  to  the  campus  green  on  a  chilly  December  eve-­ ÂżFHUV LV D JUDYH UHPLQGHU WKDW ZH community.  Dozens  of  Middlebury  ning,  the  recent  killings  of  black  have  a  long  way  to  go  before  we  College  students  walked  from  cam-­ people,  even  children,  by  police  of-­ have  “Liberty  and  Justice  for  All.â€? pus  down  Main  Street  to  join  the  vigil,  where  the  songs  “We  Shall  Overcome,â€?  “This  Little  Light  of  Mineâ€?  and  “Peace  Like  a  Riverâ€?  were  sung.

At  the  close  of  the  event,  many  students  and  community  members  walked  back  up  to  campus  to  con-­ tinue  to  discuss  ways  to  work  to-­ gether  for  a  more  just  society.

One  passerby  chastised  the  group  for  calling  attention  to  racial  injus-­ tice  in  the  United  States,  which  she  insisted  does  not  exist.  But  vigil  organizers  said  that  for  the  approxi-­ mately  100  people  gathered  on  the Â

Rockefeller  family,  which  built  its  fortune  in  the  oil  business,  divested  its  foundation  from  holdings  in  the  fossil  fuel  industry.

One  month  later,  the  U.S.  Sen-­ ate’s  Democratic  caucus  (which  includes  Vermont’s  Patrick  Leahy  and  Independent  Bernie  Sanders)  blocked  the  passage  of  a  bill  that  would  have  authorized  the  comple-­ tion  of  the  Keystone  XL  pipeline  from  Canada  to  Louisiana.  McK-­ ibben  and  350.org  are  vocal  oppo-­ nents  of  the  project.

McKibben,  a  Massachusetts  na-­

tive,  attended  Harvard  University  and  began  his  career  as  a  journal-­ ist  for  the  New  Yorker.  For  more  than  a  decade  he  has  served  as  the  Schumann  Distinguished  Scholar  at  Middlebury  College.  He  has  au-­ thored  several  books  on  the  envi-­ ronment.

After  spending  so  much  time  on  the  road,  McKibben  said  he’s  happy  to  be  returning  to  campus  in  Janu-­ ary,  where  he’ll  be  teaching  a  win-­ ter  term  course  titled  “Stories  from  the  Bible.� “It  should  be  fun,�  he  said.

City  council  should  approve  toddler  park  in  Vergennes In  Vergennes,  the  city  council  will  take  a  vote  this  Tuesday  on  whether  to  sup-­ port  a  recreation  committee’s  recommendation  to  build  a  toddler  park  on  city-­ owned  land  that  is  also  near  the  city’s  swimming  pool  and  elementary  school.  The  city  has  a  $21,000  state  grant  to  fund  half  of  the  project’s  $42,000  cost,  with  the  other  $21,000  slated  to  be  taken  from  the  city’s  water/sewer  fund  —  thus  no  property  tax  dollars  would  be  spent  on  the  project.  The  recreation  committee  made  the  recommendation  partly  as  a  way  to  follow-­ up  on  a  citywide  survey  in  2012  that  indicated  a  wide  majority  of  city  residents  wanted  to  see  more  parks  and  recreation  facilities  in  the  community,  with  a  third  of  the  120  responses  suggesting  that  a  “toddler  playground�  was  something  the  city  needed.  Because  the  city  owned  a  small  lot  adjacent  to  the  swimming  pool,  it  made  sense  to  the  committee,  city  council  members  and  others  to  construct  a  small  park  there  for  all  the  most  obvious  reasons.

What’s  troubling  about  the  conversation  at  this  stage  of  the  game  is  that  some  residents  are  insinuating  that  there  has  been  a  lack  of  transparency,  or  honesty  about  the  issue  and  are  using  that  argument  as  a  major  reason  to  postpone  a  deci-­ sion  or  reject  it  all  together.  Neither  point  is  valid.  What’s  true  is  that  the  informal  committee  comprised  to  move  this  issue  forward  did  hold  several  meetings  without  warning  them  nor  taking  minutes.  When  the  committee  and  city  realized  they  were  violating  open  meeting  laws  by  not  doing  so,  they  immediately  began  warning  meetings  and  keeping  minutes.  It  is  also  true  that  the  state  grant  application  contained  an  error  in  that  it  cited  public  support  for  a  toddler  playground  as  66  percent,  according  to  the  2012  survey.  That  number  was  actually  for  support  of  citywide  recreational  services,  not  the  toddler  playground  VSHFL¿FDOO\ :KHQ WKH FLW\ WROG WKH VWDWH DERXW WKH HUURU WKH VWDWH DVVXUHG WKH HUURU was  immaterial  and  the  grant  remained  in  place.  What’s  also  true  is  that  the  city  and  the  recreational  committee  has  reported  on  the  progress  of  the  playground  search  extensively,  as  noted  in  a  recent  Independent  story.  That  story  noted  statements  in  the  annual  report  in  2013,  public  hearings  on  the  proposal  in  the  fall  of  2013  to  which  East  Street  residents  received  a  written  invitation  and  regular  reports  in  several  digital  and  online  forums,  plus  reports  on  the  proposed  toddler  park  in  11  articles  in  the  Independent  since  2013 Allegations  of  a  lack  of  transparency,  in  short,  just  don’t  add  up.  What  does  add  up  is  that  a  few  residents  on  East  Street  don’t  want  a  few  more  A  HORSE  AND  rider  mosey  on  back  to  the  main  barn  at  the  Morgan  Horse  Farm  in  Weybridge.

solar  projects  in  Addison  County.  Unfortunately  the  current  regula-­ tory  model  to  govern  the  siting  of  solar  projects  is  based  on  traditional  large  centralized  power  generation,  transmission  and  distribution.  This  model  is  not  appropriate  for  small  distributed  power  generation  such  as  solar  PV  or  bio-­fuels  projects.

Current  legislation  gives  the  Pub-­ lic  Service  Board  (PSB)  jurisdiction  over  all  utilities  except  railroads  and  aircraft  and  gives  them  the  power  to  determine  what  is  in  the  Public Â

facturing,  transmission  and  distribu-­ tion  as  well  as  telecommunications.

For  gas  and  electricity  utilities,  the  PSB  is  directed  to  give  “due  consideration  to  the  recommenda-­ tion  of  the  municipal  legislative  bodiesâ€?  when  deciding  whether  to  LVVXH D &HUWLÂżFDWH RI 3XEOLF *RRG for  a  given  project.  Thus  the  PSB  is  the  arbiter  of  whether  a  project  is  approved  and  can  override  local  zoning  regulations  and  town  plans  even  if  the  municipality  elects  to  intervene  in  what  is  an  expensive Â

good  outweighing  the  local  wishes  of  the  municipality.

But  the  model  is  already  breaking  down  for  net-­metering  systems.  The  PSB  and  Legislature  have  tried  to  cope  with  the  huge  numbers  of  ap-­ plications  by  changing  the  handling  of  those  applications  based  on  size.  For  systems  generating  10kW  and  less,  all  that  is  required  is  a  com-­ pleted  application  and  11  days  later,  barring  a  complaint  by  the  intercon-­ QHFWLQJ XWLOLW\ WKH &HUWL¿FDWH RI (See  Letter,  Page  5)

Letters to the Editor Those  who  give  help  need  support This  is  the  time  of  year  where  we  pause  to  give  thanks  for  the  riches  we  all  have.  We  express  gratitude  for  our  family  and  friends,  a  bounty  of  food  and  our  health  if  we  are  fortunate  enough  have  those.  We  also  stop  to  express  appreciation  for  those  who  do  big  and  little  things  to  care  for  us  and  those  we  love.  We  all  interact  with  those  who  are  called  to  care  for  their  commu-­ nity.  These  giving,  often  passionate  people  provide  health  and  personal  care  services  for  elderly  parents  and  grandparents.  They  provide  health,  education  and  vocational  services  for  our  loved  ones  with  special  needs.  They  provide  childcare  and  educational  services  for  our  children.  They  work  in  our  schools  and  after  school  programs,  our  homes,  halfway  homes,  nurs-­ ing  homes,  hospitals,  shelters  and  in  health  and  human  service  agen-­ cies.  It  is  my  experience  that  these  caring  individuals  provide  the  safety  net  for  the  rest  of  us  to  con-­ tinue  showing  up  for  work  and  feel  content  that  the  most  vulnerable  members  of  our  communities  are  well  cared  for,  feel  loved  and  enjoy  a  quality  of  life  in  our  absence.  There  are  more  than  4  million  Americans  working  in  low-­wage  health  and  education  “helpingâ€?  professions.  In  Vermont  alone  these  positions  account  for  approx-­ imately  10  percent  of  our  working  population.  These  same  people  who  care  for  us  often  don’t  have  health  insurance.  They  may  not  be  able  to  access  the  very  same  health  care  they  work  so  hard  to  provide  for  us.  They  often  don’t  earn  a  liv-­ able  wage  which  means  while  they  are  caring  for  our  children,  they  are  wondering  how  they’ll  feed  their  own  children  or  make  the  needed  repairs  to  their  cars  to  get  to  work.  They  often  feel  the  stress  of  working  with  huge  caseloads  of  patients  or  clients  so  while  they  are Â

working  with  one  person’s  parent,  they  are  worrying  about  the  health  and  welfare  of  the  client  they  saw  hours  before.

We  all  know  there  is  huge  turn-­ over  in  the  helping  professions.  These  jobs  are  physically  demand-­ ing  and  emotionally  draining  and  if  they  don’t  even  pay  the  bills,  it  is  understandable  that  care  provid-­ ers  leave  their  chosen  profession  to  earn  a  higher  wage  working  at  the  corner  store.  This  turnover  rate  im-­ pacts  the  health  and  human  service  system  as  it  increases  the  strain  on  advertising  and  training  budgets  and  most  importantly  disrupts  care  for  our  most  vulnerable  popula-­ tions.  If  we  want  to  truly  express  our  gratitude  and  appreciation  for  those  who  care  for  us,  our  families,  our  friends,  our  veterans  —  all  of  our  neighbors  —  with  more  than  kind  words  of  thanks  —  let’s  stand  together  and  give  them  the  respect  they  deserve.  Respect,  that  will  in  turn  also  protect  the  integrity  of  our  very  important  system  of  hu-­ mane  care  by  providing  workers  a  livable  wage,  health  insurance  and  UHDVRQDEOH FDVHORDGV IRU &HUWL¿HG Nursing  Assistants,  Personal  Care  Assistants,  Licensed  Nursing  As-­ sistants,  Home  Care  Providers  and  Childcare  Providers,  Counselors  and  Case  Workers.  Talk  with  your  legislators,  talk  with  your  local  human  service  agency  leaders  and  talk  with  your  care  provider  about  what  they  need  to  succeed  in  their  role  as  a  helper.  Together  we  can  start  by  investing  in  our  strengths.  If  you  agree  —  go  to  Unbound-­ Grace.org  and  click  on:  Sign  the  Petition.  Take  action!  Respect  is  a  verb!  It  is  time  we  protect  those  who  care  for  the  most  vulnerable  members  of  our  communities.

She achieved 1st Team Lake Division and received the Coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award this year. Reed attended the New England Young Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Conference the past two years, and was asked to reapply as a host student this spring.

Reed says she has always been surrounded by wonderful friends and teachers and it is these people that have truly shaped her love of learning. When asked for advice for other students, Reed says knowing your limits is key. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are times to push yourself to the breaking point in order to reach a greater understanding,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and there are times when the best choice you can make is to go home and take a nap.â&#x20AC;?

After high school Reed plans to attend a four-year liberal arts college not too far from home and continue to create a life full of love, diligence and integrity.

A gifted artist, thinker, athlete and writer, she is unpretentious, centered, loving and sensitive. There could be no better collaborator; she appreciates and cultivates the talents of her fellows.â&#x20AC;?

Reedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free spirit and kind soul have made Mt. Abe a better place, and everyone in the school community wishes her the best in her future.

Federal  dairy  price  protection  program  deadline  looms MONTPELIER  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Vermont  Ag-­ riculture  Secretary  Chuck  Ross  is  encouraging  all  Vermont  dairy  farmers  to  enroll  in  the  Margin  Pro-­ tection  Dairy  Insurance  Program,  or  MPP.  Last  week  the  USDA  extend-­ ed  the  application  deadline  to  Dec.  19  (the  deadline  had  been  Dec.  5).

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dairy  farming  in  Vermont  has  many  risks.  The  Margin  Protection  Program  is  a  means  to  manage  the  risk  of  dropping  milk  prices  and  ris-­ ing  feed  costs,â&#x20AC;?  Ross  said  in  a  press  release.

dairy  farmers  a  risk  management  tool  similar  to  crop  insurance  that  can  insure  the  margin  between  milk  prices  and  feed  costs.  The  funds  available  after  covering  feed  costs  are  used  by  farmers  to  pay  veteri-­ narians,  farm  labor,  energy  bills  and  other  farm  expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Milk  prices  have  been  strong  throughout  2014  but  predictions  for  2015  show  a  potential  decline  of  over  $8.  This  insurance  program  can  help  farmers  prepare  for  these  changes,â&#x20AC;?  Ross  said.  The  USDA  Margin  Protection  Program  helps  dairy  producers  lock  LQ D VHW PDUJLQ RI PLQLPXP SURÂżW WR guard  against  low  milk  prices  and  high  feed  costs.  While  milk  prices  this  year  have  approached  $25  per  hundredweight,  projections  indi-­ cate  that  milk  may  drop  to  $19  or  even  $16  per  hundredweight  during  2015.  Feed  prices  appear  stable  at  this  time  but  events  like  the  drought  in  2012  can  radically  affect  feed  prices  in  Vermont.  U.S.  Secretary  of  Agriculture  Tom  Vilsack  said  farmers  who  sign  up  this  year  will  get  a  bonus  over  those  who  wait  until  future  years  to  sign  up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those  who  apply  this  year  will  receive  a  slight  increase  in  pro-­ duction  protection  that  will  not  be  available  in  the  future,â&#x20AC;?  Vilsack Â

said  in  a  press  release.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers  who  do  not  sign  up  for  the  Mar-­ gin  Protection  Program  for  2015  will  forfeit  the  1  percent  base  pro-­ duction  increase.  For  a  400  cow  operation,  this  would  equate  to  an  additional  80,000  pounds  of  milk  that  are  eligible  for  coverage.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  small  step  to  take  to  ensure  your  business  is  covered.â&#x20AC;?

Vilsack  encouraged  dairy  farmers  to  use  the  online  resource  at  www. fsa.usda.gov/mpptool  to  calculate  the  best  levels  of  coverage  for  their  dairy  operation.  They  can  type  in  VSHFL¿F RSHUDWLRQ GDWD DQG H[SORUH price  projections  and  market  sce-­ narios  to  determine  what  level  of  coverage  is  best  for  them.  They  can  also  compare  the  data  to  see  how  the  program  would  have  helped  in  previous  years,  such  as  2008,  when  margins  dropped  by  as  much  as  $8  in  three  months.  The  Margin  Protection  Program  replaced  the  Milk  Income  Loss  Contract  program,  known  as  MILC,  which  ended  in  2014  with  the  en-­ actment  of  the  new  Farm  Bill.  This  makes  MPP  the  main  safety  net  for  dairy  farmers.

Ross  encouraged  producers  to  sign  up  at  their  local  USDA  Farm  6HUYLFHV $JHQF\ RI¿FH DV VRRQ DV possible,  in  order  to  have  their  pro-­ duction  history  recorded  and  com-­

plete  required  paperwork  by  the  Dec.  19  deadline.  The  cost  is  the  $100  administration  fee  for  the  ba-­ sic  coverage  and  farmers  can  elect  to  increase  their  coverage.  Farmers  can  also  contact  UVM  Extension  to  discuss  options  to  buy  up  the  insur-­ DQFH FRYHUDJH WR ÂżW WKHLU LQGLYLGXDO farm  situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  is  the  best  safety  net  pro-­ gram  available  to  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  dairy  farmers,â&#x20AC;?  Ross  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take  action  this  week  to  reduce  your  risk.â&#x20AC;?

Farmers  also  have  a  chance  to  share  comments  and  help  shape  the  Margin  Protection  Program  for  the  future.  The  USDA  is  taking  public  com-­ ments  on  both  the  Margin  Protec-­ tion  Program  and  the  Dairy  Prod-­ uct  Donation  Program  until  Dec.  15.  Comments  can  be  submitted  via  the  regulations.gov  website  at  KWWS JR XVD JRY *-6$ RU E\ 8 6 PDLO WR 'DQLHOOH &RRNH 6SHFLDO Programs  Manager,  Price  Sup-­ port  Division,  FSA,  USDA,  STOP  0512,  1400  Independence  Ave.  SW,  Washington,  D.C.,  20250-­0512.

Hello,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Abi!  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  a  petite,  playful  girl  who  will  keep  you  entertained  all  day  long!  Since  being  here,  I  have  become  loved  by  many.  I  can  be  so  silly!  I  love  running  around  and  chasing  my  mice  toys  everywhere!  I  also  love,  love,  love  snuggling!  I  am  just  so  sweet  and  happy,  I  am  easy  to  love!

I  can  be  very  vocal  too;Íž  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  hear  my  soft,  squeaky  meow  if  you  come  visit  me!

Coco  is  a  sociable  guy  who  enjoys  the  company  of  the  people  he  is  with.   He  is  10  years  old  and  really  deserves  a  couch  of  his  own.   Like  all  of  us  as  we  age,  CoCo  has  a  few  quirks,  and  most  noticeably  that  he  does  not  like  his  face  handled  and  becomes  quite  snappish!   He  suffers  from  dry  skin  and  does  best  on  a  hypoallergenic  diet,  as  well. Â

Hello  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Doodle!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  in  September  as  a  stray.  I  had  just  had  a  litter  of  kittens  so  I  went  into  a  foster  home  to  take  care  of  them.  Being  in  a  foster  home  was  a  great  experience  for  me!  I  have  been  acclimated  to  house  life  and  was  introduced  to  dogs  and  children.  I  love  being  around  people  too!  I  love  being  pet  and  getting  attention;Íž  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  such  a  love  bug! Â

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Hilda!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  after  I  was  found  as  a  stray.  I  was  pregnant  and  the  woman  was  concerned  about  me  so  she  brought  me  here  to  make  sure  my  babies  and  I  would  be  safe!  I  have  spent  a  lot  of  time  in  a  foster  home,  so  I  have  become  used  to  a  home  environment.  I  love  roaming  around  and  exploring!  I  am  a  very  affectionate  girl  who  is  eager  for  attention!

Meet Sid! Well, hello there, my name is Sid,

Look  at  us!  We  are  just  some  of  the  adorable  kittens  at  Homeward  Bound  right  now!  We  are  between  10-­14  weeks  old  and  are  full  of  energy!  Most  of  us  are  all  black,  but  some  of  our  other  friends  are  tortis,  grey,  grey  &  white,  and  brown  tigers!  We  love  to  run  around  and  play  but  we  also  love  taking  naps!  We  are  just  so  cute  &  cuddly,  how  could  you  not  fall  in  love  with  us? Â

Hi,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Nala!  I  have  lived  with  other  cats  before,  so  I  wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mind  if  I  had  a  feline  friend  in  my  new  home!  I  also  love  to  play!  The  staff  always  gives  me  tons  of  toys  to  play  with  and  it  brings  out  my  inner  kitten!

When  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  not  playing,  I  like  to  just  hang  around.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  a  very  laid  back  girl!  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  be  a  great  ¿ W IRU DQ\ KRPH

Holidays  pose  dangers  for  pets By  M.  KATHLEEN  SHAW,  DVM Vermont  Veterinary  Medical  Association With  the  holiday  season  rapidly  approaching,  many  pet  owners  are  unsure  which  plants,  foods  and  deco-­ rations  are  and  are  not  safe  for  their  pets.

Most  species  of  lilies  are  deadly  to  cats.  In  some  cases,  a  small  amount  of  pollen  or  even  o  ne  leaf  can  cause  sudden  kidney  failure.  Christmas  cactus  and  Christmas  (English)  holly  FDQ FDXVH VLJQLÂż FDQW GDPDJH WR WKH stomach  and  intestinal  tract  of  dogs  and  cats.  Death  is  not  usually  reported,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  best  to  keep  these  plants  out  of  reach.  If  your  pet  ingests  some  of  these  plants,  call  your  veterinarian  immediately.

A  holiday  myth  is  that  poinset-­ tias  and  mistletoe  are  toxic  to  pets.  These  plants  are  not  as  toxic  as  urban  legend  describes.  Poinsettias  have  little  crystals  in  them  that  can  be  irri-­ tating  to  the  petsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  mouth  or  skin,  but  serious  poisonings  are  almost  unheard Â

of.  American  mistletoe  (the  kind  we  use  for  Christmas  parties)  is  not  very  toxic,  generally  causing  mild  stomach  upset.  Its  cousin  European  mistletoe  is  more  toxic  and  causes  more  problems.

The  most  dangerous  foods  at  this  time  of  year  are  chocolates  and  cocoa,  sugarless  gum/candies  containing  Xylitol,  fatty  meat  scraps,  and  yeast  bread  dough.  If  your  pet  ingests  any  of  these,  even  if  it  seems  to  be  just  a  small  amount,  call  your  veterinarian  immediately.  The  often  derided  gift  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  fruit  cake  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  is  actually  quite  danger-­ ous  to  our  pets.  Grapes,  raisins  and  currants  are  common  ingredients  and  have  been  implicated  in  kidney  failure  in  dogs.  In  addition,  many  fruit  cakes  have  been  soaked  in  rum  or  other  alco-­ hols  making  it  doubly  dangerous  to  pets.  Alcohol  is  rapidly  absorbed  into  the  petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  bloodstream  causing  drops  in  blood  sugar,  blood  pressure  and  body  temperature.

Liquid  potpourris  can  cause  chemi-­ cal  burns  to  the  mouths  of  pets.  Cats  appear  to  be  more  sensitive,  but  fevers, Â

UHVSLUDWRU\ GLIÂż FXOW\ DQG WUHPRUV FDQ be  seen  in  both  dogs  and  cats.  In  addi-­ tion,  cats  (and  some  dogs)  are  attracted  to  long  string-­like  objects  including  garland,  tinsel  and  ribbons.  Although  these  are  not  poisonous,  they  can  be  ingested  and  that  is  where  they  can  cause  serious  problems.  These  â&#x20AC;&#x153;linear  (or  string)  foreign  bodiesâ&#x20AC;?  can  get  stuck  in  the  petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  stomach  or  intestines  and  slowly  saw  through  the  tissue  causing  a  potentially  fatal  infection  of  the  abdomen.  Surgery  is  the  only  treatment.

Play  it  safe  with  your  pets  this  holi-­ day  season.  Keep  dangerous  items  out  of  reach,  secure  trash  cans,  and  do  a  ³SHW SURR¿ QJ´ ZDON WKURXJK RI \RXU home.  While  decorations  are  out,  do  your  best  to  keep  an  eye  on  your  pets  or  keep  them  separated  from  them  to  prevent  exposure  to  these  festive,  yet  potentially  dangerous  things.  If  you  have  any  questions  about  the  potential  dangers  of  holiday  plants,  decora-­ tions  or  foods,  contact  your  veterinary  RI¿ FH IRU DQVZHUV

Homeward  Bound

Tip  of  the  Week Snowy  weather  means  lots  of  fun  with  our  dogs  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  hiking,  play-­ ing  and  romping.  Be  careful  to  check  your  furry  friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  paws  frequently  while  playing  outside.  Snow  and  ice  balls  can  build  up Â

quickly  in  between  paw  pads  and  cause  discomfort  and  imbalance  for  Fido.  If  you  are  serious  about  your  outdoor  time,  check  out  your  local  pet  retailers  for  dog  booties  that  can  provide  protection  and  traction.

Homeward  Bound  Executive  Director  Jessica  Danyow  is  proud  of  this  unique  tradition.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  believe  we  are  the  only  organization  in  Vermont  to  offer  the  opportunity  to  honor  a  lost  or  living  pet  during  the  holiday  season  with  a  memory  tree  program.  Pets  are  incredibly  important  to  their  owners  and  most  consider  them  to  be  family  members,â&#x20AC;?  Danyow  said,  adding,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  pleased  to  offer  our  Lights  of  Love  program  as  we  know  people  appreciate  the  chance  to  celebrate  the  pets  who  so  profoundly  enhance  their  lives  with  joy  and  companionship  each  and  every  day  of  the  year.â&#x20AC;?

Individuals  may  purchase  a  colored  light  to  honor  a  living  pet  or  a  white  light  to  remember  a  pet  who  has  died.  A  donation  of  $3  is  requested  for  each  light.  Danyow  adds,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  receive  some  donations  for  dozens  of  pets.  Some Â

people  take  this  opportunity  to  liter-­ ally  honor  every  pet  who  has  blessed  their  life.â&#x20AC;?

Homeward  Bound  counts  on  the  Lights  of  Love  program  to  raise  upwards  of  $10,000  each  year.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  costs  between  $50,000  and  $60,000  just  to  feed,  provide  basic  medi-­ cal  care,  and  spay  or  neuter  the Â

approximately  700  animals  that  come  through  our  doors  each  year,  so  this  fundraiser  is  a  great  help  to  us.â&#x20AC;?

Donations  to  the  Lights  of  Love  effort  will  be  accepted  all  month  via  the  shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  website,  www.home-­ wardboundanimals.org;Íž  by  phone  at  802-­388-­1100,  ext.  224;Íž  or  in  person  at  236  Boardman  St..   Middlebury.

Two  Brothers  Tavern  on  Main  Street  will  host  a  meet-­and-­greet  cocktail  event  from  5  to  7  p.m.  prior  to  the  Hootenanny.  General  admis-­ sion  is  $15;Íž  â&#x20AC;&#x153;generous  admissionâ&#x20AC;?  has  been  set  at  $25.  Bierman  wants  WR ÂżOO WKH 7+7 DQG KRSHV WR VHH D lot  of  teens  in  the  crowd,  as  there  will  be  no  school  that  week.  And  the  THT  will  be  kicking  in  20  free  tickets  for  HOPE  clients  who  could  otherwise  not  afford  to  attend  the  show.

Bierman  thanked  the  event  spon-­ sors  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  Little  Pressroom,  Two  Brothers,  Farrell  Distributing,  Da-­ vidson  Brothers  and  Northshire  Brewery.  Their  contributions  will  defray  the  musiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  travel  and  oth-­ er  expenses.

Anderson  was  pleased  to  be  able  to  offer  the  THT  as  a  venue  for  an-­ other  in  one  of  the  many  fundrais-­ ers  the  theater  hosts  on  each  year.  He  said  THT  is  nimble  enough  to  quickly  organize  and  stage  interest-­ ing  entertainment  ideas  that  come  from  the  community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  love  the  fact  that  we  have Â

created  a  culture  where  people  can  come  in,  pitch  an  idea,  and  have  it  on  stage  six  weeks  later,â&#x20AC;?  Anderson  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  has  been  fruitful  and  re-­ warding.â&#x20AC;?

Anderson  also  believes  it  is  im-­ portant  for  the  THT  to  nurture  good  local  talent,  and  he  called  Bierman  one  of  the  most  talented  musicians  in  the  state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  very  proud  of  him,â&#x20AC;?  An-­ derson  said.

Jeanne  Montross,  executive  direc-­ tor  of  HOPE,  was  thrilled  to  get  a  call  from  Anderson  saying  there  was  a  fundraiser  in  the  works  for  her  or-­ ganization  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  she  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  do  a  thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  a  wonderful  surprise  to  ¿QG WKLV RXW DQG LW FRXOGQÂśW KDYH come  at  a  better  time,â&#x20AC;?  Montross  said,  noting  particular  stress  on  the  food  shelf  and  other  HOPE  pro-­

grams  during  the  winter  months.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  will  be  an  extra  bit  of  money  coming  in.â&#x20AC;?

Bierman,  a  Bridport  resident,  wants  to  make  the  Hootenanny  an  DQQXDO HYHQW WR DLG ORFDO QRQSURÂżW causes.  He  wants  it  to  evolve  into  something  like  the  annual  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hug  Your  Farmerâ&#x20AC;?  concert  that  aids  Ver-­ mont  farmers.  Bierman  has  regularly  performed  at  those  concerts,  which  also  provide  a  fun  opportunity  for  musicians  to  reconnect  and  practice  their  craft  together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  pressure,  other  than  the  pressure  of  playing  the  songs  correctly,â&#x20AC;?  Bierman  said  with  a  smile.

Backcountry (Continued from Page 1) oping multi-­use trails in central Ver-­ mont and the Mad River Valley for the past two years.

Angus McCusker, a volunteer with the Rochester group, said the area’s accessibility and variety of terrain make it a good location.

“It’s an area that a number of us have been skiing for years,” he said.

“It has good elevation, a northern as-­ pect and a few parking areas.”

The proposed glades in the Green Mountain National Forest are located to the south of Brandon Gap and can be accessed from two parking areas on Route 73 near the top of the gap.

The Long Trail, extending south from the gap, can be used to access all four of the glades, which run from the top of Goshen Mountain eastward to the

Bear Brook drainage.

Development of the skiing routes, or “lines,” within the four areas would incorporate a braided design, with several lines intersecting within one zone. The number of lines per zone would differ depending on the size of the zone and vegetation.

The area includes northern hard-­ woods such as beech, yellow birch and maple, while the upper eleva-­ WLRQV LQFOXGH VSUXFH DQG ¿U IRUHVWV The four zones include beginner to advanced backcountry skier terrain, with drops of 700 vertical feet on some of the easier areas and 1,200 feet on the more advanced terrain.

Lines would be established where conditions are naturally open and glades would retain full canopy cov-­ erage. However, where vegetation

would be removed, emphasis would be placed on trees that are poorly formed, show signs of insect-­infesta-­ tion or disease, or inhibit restoration objectives in the area.

Forest Service staff and RASTA volunteers using hand tools would manage any pruning and upkeep of the trail system. A similar project oc-­ curred in the Braintree area this fall.

“We know there are lots of parties that we’ll need to engage with,” said McCusker. “The important thing now is to take this one step at a time and not rush it.”

FIRST IN THE COUNTRY While skiing, like other outdoor ac-­ tivities, is deemed a “permitted use” of state and national forests, the cutting or pruning of trees to enhance terrain is not. Chris Mattrick, district ranger

for the Forest Service’s Rochester and Middlebury Ranger Districts, said the proposal is well timed as interest in backcountry skiing grows.

“We see this as an emerging recre-­ ation use that we haven’t seen in the past,” he said. “In this case we have concerns that increased unmanaged use will have a detrimental affect on the ecosystem. We’re trying to get in front of the issue and provide a man-­ aged experience for those that want to pursue the activity.”

The unauthorized cutting of trees in Vermont has ranged from occa-­ sional limbing of trees to more sig-­ QL¿FDQW FOHDU FXWV 2QH RI WKH PRVW widely known examples was in 2007, when two hikers used chainsaws to clear-­cut an empty swath 2,000 feet down the side of Big Jay Mountain.

In addition to being against the law, Mattrick said unapproved trimmings could have a negative effect on the health of the forest.

“In some cases the cutting itself may or may not have a detrimental impact,” he said. “The fact is that it’s not approved and hasn’t been analyzed so we don’t know what the eventual impact will be.”

The area around the pilot proj-­ ect has seen some limited cutting.

“The hope is that if this project does go through and we have a place where we can authorize and manage this activity (developing backcountry ski terrain) with a partner group, we might be able to draw people away from the areas where there is illegal trimming,” he said.

The project now undergoes a 30-­ day “scoping period,” which includes accepting comments from the public and completing an analysis of re-­ sources potentially affected by the development, as mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act.
