bury  Electric  LLC  have  engaged  in  occasionally  contentious  talks  about  how  such  a  facility  could  be  built  while  still  protecting  the  town’s  in-­ terest  in  preserving  the  beauty  of  the  falls  and  the  historic  integrity  of  downtown’s  heart.  Holm’s  family  owns  the  Holm  building  that  borders  the  Battell  Bridge  on  the  falls’  south  side  in  downtown  Middlebury.  Nine  years  DJR +ROP ÂżUVW SURSRVHG D SURMHFW DW the  falls  that  could  generate  between  (See  Hydro,  Page  22)

New  Haven  selectboard  candidates  say  solar  is  top  issue  facing  town By  ZACH  DESPART NEW  HAVEN  â€”  Four  candi-­ dates  will  face  off  for  two  seats  on  the  New  Haven  selectboard  in  an  unusually  busy  election  season.  The  races  will  be  decided  by  Aus-­ tralian  ballot  on  Town  Meeting  Day,  March  3. Charles  Roy  and  Jim  Walsh  are  vying  for  a  three-­year  seat,  while  Susan  Smiley  and  Steve  Dupoise  Sr.  are  competing  for  a  two-­year  seat.  Roy  is  the  incumbent  in  the  three-­year  seat;Íž  incumbent  Roger Â

By  JOHN  FLOWERS WHITING  â€”  On  a  cold  Vermont  night,  Julner  Remy  warms  his  spir-­ its  with  recollections  of  his  native  Haiti,  recollections  he  commits  to  canvas  and  wood  with  deft  brush-­ strokes.

Changes  to  ID-­4  budget  SURFHVV ZRXOG EHQHÂżW YRWHUV  One  of  the  roles  of  any  public  governing  body  is  to  encourage  maximum  public  participation  in  decisions  crucial  to  the  community.  Public  participa-­ tion,  after  all,  is  the  foundation  of  democracy.  That’s  why  several  Middlebury  residents  attended  the  ID-­4  school  board  meeting  a  week  ago  Monday  to  ask  board  members  to  propose  amendments  at  this  year’s  annual  meeting  that  would  discuss  the  time  and  manner  of  the  Mary  Hogan  Elementary  School’s  annual  budget  vote.  The  budget  is  cur-­ rently  decided  on  the  second  Wednesday  of  April  via  a  voice  vote  at  the  annual  meeting. Several  of  the  residents  in  attendance  proposed  moving  the  vote  to  Town  Meeting  Day  or  closer  to  Town  Meeting,  and  holding  the  vote  by  Austra-­ lian  ballot.  The  primary  reason  is  to  engage  more  residents  in  that  decision-­ making  process.  Current  participation  is  dismal.  In  recent  times,  fewer  than  a  few  dozen  residents  typically  attend  the  annual  meeting  and  most  meetings  proceed  with  very  little  dissent  or  public  scrutiny. Passage  of  those  budgets  is  not,  in  and  of  itself,  a  negative  outcome.  But  when  so  few  residents  drive  the  conversation  and  the  budget  decisions,  that’s  hardly  the  gauge  of  public  opinion  board  members  should  hope  to  see.  Rath-­ er,  it  is  safe  to  say  that  such  low  turnout  denies  school  board  members  a  hon-­ est  gauge  of  whether  the  public  supports  their  actions  or  is  silently  seething  with  despair  that  little  could  ever  change  under  the  current  process. Why  is  that? Simple.  First,  voice  votes  or  a  show  of  hands  in  public  meetings  are  in-­ timidating.  That’s  the  current  process.  And  while  a  paper  ballot  could  be  requested,  even  that  can  be  an  intimidating  request  in  a  room  full  of  budget  supporters.  Moreover,  speaking  out  against  school  budgets  is  uncomfortable,  espe-­ cially  when  friends  and  neighbors  are  also  in  the  room,  perhaps  in  support  of  their  kids’  or  their  grandchildren’s  education.  When  votes  encompass  such  personal  decisions,  no  voter  wants  to  publicly  offend  a  friend  or  neighbor  by  speaking  against,  or  voting  against,  that  budget.  That’s  one  reason  the  vast  majority  of  school  districts  in  the  state  have  switched  to  voting  on  their  an-­ nual  budgets  by  Australian  ballot.  ID-­4  is  one  of  the  few  that  doesn’t. In  pondering  this  aspect  of  the  issue,  voters  need  but  ask  one  question:  What  method  would  generate  the  greater  participation  among  voters  â€”  de-­ ciding  the  budget  by  Australian  ballot  or  asking  voters  to  attend  an  annual  meeting  the  second  Wednesday  night  of  April  and  deciding  the  issue  by  those  in  attendance?  The  answer  is  self-­evident. Similarly,  the  current  date  of  the  district’s  annual  meeting  also  limits  pub-­ lic  participation  by  moving  it  outside  of  Town  Meeting  Day.  It  is  true  that  no  residents  are  prevented  from  attending  the  annual  school  meeting  any  PRUH RQ WKH VHFRQG :HGQHVGD\ RI $SULO WKDQ WKH\ DUH RQ WKH ÂżUVW 7XHVGD\ of  March,  but  it  stretches  common  sense  to  suggest  that  the  very  tradition  surrounding  Town  Meeting  doesn’t  draw  more  attention  to  town  and  school  budgets  at  that  time  of  the  year.  That’s  partly  because  the  community  discus-­ sion  at  that   time  is  intensely  focused  on  local  budgets  and  amendments  cru-­ cial  to  their  communities.  And  when  everyone  in  the  neighborhood  is  talking  about  those  issues,  then  more  people  are  willing  to  add  their  opinions  and  are  more  interested  in  participating  in  that  discussion.  That’s  just  human  nature.  Those  who  deny  the  inevitable  attrition  of  voter  interest  a  month  or  more  after  Town  Meeting  are  simply  denying  reality.  The  proof  is  in  the  very  low  turnout  at  the  school’s  annual  meeting.  It’s  not  that  voters  couldn’t  turn  out  in  high  numbers,  but  that  they  haven’t.  Part  of  governing  well  is  to  recognize  reality  and  adjust  to  it. Because  no  board  member  moved  to  place  the  issue  in  front  of  voters  at  the  upcoming  annual  meeting,  a  citizen  petition  is  underway  to  put  the  proposed  changes  in  front  of  voters  in  the  hopes  that  enough  Middlebury  residents  will  HOHFW WR PDNH D FKDQJH 7KDWÂśV DQ LPSRUWDQW ÂżUVW VWHS LQ HQVXULQJ IXWXUH 0DU\ +RJDQ (OHPHQWDU\ 6FKRRO EXGJHWV UHĂ€HFW WKH ZLOO RI D PDMRULW\ RI 0LGGOH-­ bury  residents.  It’s  past  time  that  change  is  made.

Letters to the Editor Middlebury  solar  array  exceeds  projected  output Regarding  the  article  â€œVergennes  solar  array  output  comes  up  shortâ€?  that  ran  in  the  Monday,  Feb.  9,  is-­ sue  of  the  Independent,  it’s  unfortu-­ nate  that  you  used  an  image  of  the  Acorn  Energy  Solar  One  commu-­ nity  solar  project  located  off  Lucius  Shaw  Lane  behind  the  Middlebury  police  station  to  illustrate  the  story.  That’s  because  this  locally  owned,  150-­kilowatt  array  has  consis-­ tently  exceeded  its  original  annual  electricity  production  estimate  of  172,000  kilowatt  hours  by  an Â

average  of  6.7  percent  over  the  past  three  years. The  Acorn  Renewable  Energy  Co-­op  developed  the  engineering  DQG ¿QDQFLDO PRGHOV FDUHIXOO\ IRU AESO,  and  they  have  proven  to  be  reasonably  accurate  despite  the  in-­ evitable  ups  and  downs  in  electric-­ ity  production  that  have  occurred  over  the  past  three  years.  We  just  wanted  to  make  sure  that  your  read-­ ers  did  not  get  the  false  impression  that  our  project  failed  to  meet  its  production  estimates.

AESO  is  a  community  solar  collaboration  between  the  town  of  Middlebury,  the  Cooperative  Insurance  Companies  of  Vermont,  and  the  Acorn  Renewable  Energy  Co-­op,  in  Middlebury.  The  project  began  production  in  December  2011.

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society Bayley  is  an  adorable  8  year  old  Lab.  Since  he’s  spent  his  entire  life  outside,  he’s  still  working  on  becoming  housebroken.  He  enjoys  going  for  walks,  but  all  he  really  wants  is  lie  on  your  lap  and  snuggle! Since  his  arrival,  we’ve  noticed  that  he  does  have  some  hearing  loss  and  vision  problems.  But  that  doesn’t  stop  him,  especially  since  he  still  has  his  sense  of  smell!  He  loves  getting  treats  and  is  very  good  at  following  his  nose!

Hi, I’m Duke

I’m  Daffodil!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  near  the  end  of  January  after  being  found  as  a  stray.  I  love  meeting  new  people  and  getting  lots  of  attention!  I  like  to  be  able  to  walk  around  and  explore  everything  around  me,  I’m  a  curious  girl!  I  also  enjoy  chasing  the  toy  mice  around. I  really  am  a  sweet  girl  though;  I’m  loving,  affectionate,  and  super  fun!

Dudley  is  4  years  old  and  while  he  spent  his  life  outside,  has  been  doing  great  at  becoming  housebroken.  He  is  full  of  energy  and  loves  to  go  on  long  walks;  we  have  been  walking  him  on  an  EZ  Walk  Harness  and  his  leash  manners  have  been  improving.  Dudley  can  be  very  high  energy,  but  once  he’s  comfortable  he  settles  down.  +H FRXOG EHQHÂżW IURP VRPH EDVLF obedience  training  as  he  didn’t  get  any  in  his  previous  home.

Craig  Shepard is  Carson  and  he  will  be  1  in  May.  We  love  to  play  Bristol inside  and  rough  house  a  little.  Sometimes  we  get  in  I’m  Shirley!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  near  the  end  of  January  as  my  owner  had  too  many  animals  and  could  not  care  for  us  all.  Like  my  friends,  I  am  super  sweet.  I  love  hanging  out  and  being  around  people  and  just  love  getting  attention!  In  my  previous  home  I  lived  with  other  cats  and  children.  I  do  great  with  them  and  love  having  someone  to  play  with  all  the  time!

Thia  is  a  beautiful  English  Staffordshire  Bull  Terrier.  She  arrived  at  Homeward  Bound  at  the  end  of  January  after  being  found  by  a  State  Trooper.  Once  she  is  comfortable  around  new  people  she  is  very  loving  and  outgoing.  While  Thia  will  need  to  be  the  only  animal  in  her  new  home,  she  can  still  be  around  and  play  with  other  dogs  and  cats,  just  not  live  with  them.

Tip  of  the  Week Having  just  celebrated  Valentine’s  Day,  it  seems  like  a  good  time  to  remember  that  every  day  is  a  day  to  celebrate  our  beloved  pets  and  never  miss  an  opportunity  to  give  a  kiss,  a  scratch,  a  cuddle  or  a  walk.  Their  time  with  us  is  always  too  short;Íž  there  will Â

be  many  complicated  and  sorrowful  emotions  you  have  to  go  through  when  you  lose  your  four-­legged  friend  and  it’s  better  if  regret  isn’t  in  the  mix.  It  can  be  a  great  consolation  to  know  that  our  pet  knew  and  felt  our  love  every  single  day.

If you’d like to include your pet as “Pet of the Week� simply include your pet’s name, gender, approximate age (if you know it), along with comments about the pet’s favorite activities, your favorite activity with the pet, what the pet enjoys eating, and any particular stories or incidents you might like to share concerning your pet. Send the photo and story to the Addison Independent, Pet Page, 58 Maple St., Middlebury, Vt., 05753, or email a high-resolution jpeg to news@ addisonindependent.com.

Protect  your  pet  from  obesity (BPT)  â€”  The  most  recent  data  from  the  Centers  for  Disease  Control  and  Prevention  shows  that  more  than  one-­third  of  U.S.  adults  are  obese.  While  the  issue  is  well-­recognized  among  the  public,  many  don’t  re-­ alize  there  is  a  second  obesity  epi-­ demic  occurring  simultaneously  â€”  a  pet  obesity  epidemic,  which  is  even  more  severe. Research  from  the  Association  for  Pet  Obesity  Prevention  shows  an  estimated  52.6  percent  of  dogs  and  57.6  percent  of  cats  in  the  U.S.  are  overweight  or  obese.  These  numbers  are  at  an  all-­time  high,  according  to  WKH %DQÂż HOG 5HSRUW ZKLFK VD\V WKDW 37  percent  more  dogs  and  90  percent  more  cats  are  obese  today  than  just  ¿ YH \HDUV DJR So  how  do  you  know  if  your  pet  is  overweight  or  obese?  Patrick  Ma-­ honey,  VMD,  points  to  the  following  signs  to  look  out  for: ‡ ([FHVV IDW FRYHULQJ WKH ULEV ² $ thick  layer  of  fat  inhibits  easy  feel-­ ing  of  the  ribs. ‡ /DFN RI D ZDLVWOLQH ² :KHQ looking  down  on  your  pet  from  above,  there  is  a  lack  of  visible  nar-­ rowing  just  behind  the  last  rib. ‡ 3HQGXORXV DEGRPLQDO IDW ² )DW ty  tissue  dangles  from  the  underside  of  your  pet’s  abdomen,  which  may  even  swing  while  your  pet  is  walk-­ ing  or  running.
