Professors link state’s ecology and culture By  ZACH  DESPART MIDDLEBURY  —  Eighteen  years  ago,  Middlebury  College  bi-­ ology  and  environmental  studies  professor  Stephen  Trombulak  be-­ moaned  the  fact  that  there  wasn’t  a  book  that  aptly  described  the  eco-­ logical  history  of  Vermont  and  how  humans  have  affected  it.

Across  campus,  political  science  and  environmental  studies  professor  Christopher  McGrory  Klyza  fretted  that  he  didn’t  have  a  Vermont-­rele-­

vant  text  to  assign  the  students  in  his  ¿UVW \HDU VHPLQDU “There  wasn’t  anything  that  told  the  history  of  Vermont  from  the  perspective  of  the  environment;Íž  how  cultural  and  ecological  his-­ tory  united  to  shape  this  landscape,â€?  Trombulak  said  in  an  interview  last  Thursday.  “I  wanted  a  text  for  my  students  so  they  could  place  natural  history  within  the  context  of  human  history.â€?

So,  the  two  scholars  decided  to Â

write  their  own,  and  followed  that  bulak  wanted  to  document  the  sig-­ effort  up  this  year  with  the  second  QLÂżFDQW FXOWXUDO HQYLURQPHQWDO DQG edition  of  “The  economic  changes  Story  of  Vermont;Íž  that  have  trans-­ “What we’re trying A  Natural  and  Cul-­ formed  Vermont  to do is raise the tural  History.â€?

Letters to the Editor 6XSSRUWHUV RI JXQ FRQWURO ELOO ÂżQG LW WRXJK WR WHVWLI\ A  lot  of  the  people  at  the  hearing  on  Senate  Bill  31  last  Tuesday  at  the  Statehouse  seemed  too  happy  from  the  start  —  and  yes,  I’m  talking  mostly  about  the  “Orange  People.â€?

Too  happy,  I  thought,  because  this  hearing  was  about  the  risks  Vermonters  can  face  from  danger-­ ous  people  with  guns,  whatever  color  they  choose  to  wear.

Me  —  I  was  remembering  how  my  friend  David  was  shot  in  the  back  and  killed.  About  the  boys  I  knew  who  shot  and  killed  them-­ selves  out  of  loneliness  and  despair, Â

and  the  one  who  had  a  gun  hidden  in  the  woods  for  when  life  got  too  hard.

About  women  and  kids  held  at  gunpoint  by  husbands  and  boy-­ friends  —  not  just  once,  and  prob-­ ably  not  for  the  last  time.

About  their  running  away  to  a  “safe  house�  like  in  a  spy  movie  but  no  —  these  are  real  moms,  real  kids  and  real  dangers.

These  were  the  people  I  brought  to  the  Statehouse  —  ones  who  couldn’t  be  there  themselves  because  they  were  too  scared  to  show  their  faces  or  were  dead. Â

They  didn’t  wear  green,  they  didn’t  laugh,  and  they  couldn’t  be  counted  by  reporters.

They  counted  to  me,  though  —  and  I  felt  so  sad  missing  the  dead  ones  and  so  scared  for  the  living.

I  planned  to  talk  about  them  there,  but  —  no  time  left.

Other  people  did  tell  about  people  they  knew  who  had  been  killed  by  guns  or  were  threatened  themselves.  You  could  see  how  hard  it  was;͞  they  cried,  choked,  whispered,  shook.  People  who  have  been  shot  dead  stay  dead  and  the  pain  just  doesn’t  (See  Letter,  Page  5)

Town  Meeting  Letter  Policy Town  Meeting  Day  is  coming  up  and  the  Addison  Independent  wants  to  give  everyone  a  chance  to  have  their  voices  heard  in  our  letters  forum.  We  encourage  citizens  to  discuss  and  debate  issues  and  candidates  on  which  they  will  cast  ballots  come  March Â

3.  To  ensure  that  we  have  room  to  publish  a  letter  to  the  editor  from  any  local  resident  who  wants  to  share  their  opinion  we  will  limit  each  individual  to  one  letter  of  no  more  than  800  words  on  a  single  topic  during  the  six  weeks  leading  up  to  Town  Meeting  Day.

Is  The  Brake  Job  Going  To  Be  Absolutely  Free?

Of  course  not—BUT—this  is  the  Best  Deal  you  will  get  anywhere!  You  get  Free  Premium  Centric  Brake  pads  and  part  of  the  labor  to  install  them,  then  you  pay  for  any  other  brake  parts  and  other  work  needed  with  County  Tire  Center’s  quality  work  and  service,  and  you  help  out  HOPE  of  Addison  County.

Why  Not  Totally  Free?

A  No  Cost  Job  would  require  us  to  use  cheap  parts  and  to  do  what  we  call  in  our  industry,  a  “pad  slapâ€?  =  throw  on  cheap  pads  as  quickly  as  possible  and  not  look  at  the  rotors,  calipers,  master  cylinders,  brake  lines  and  brake  À XLG &KHDS EUDNH MRE KDYH SRVVLEOH VDIHW\ FRQFHUQV KDYH D VKRUW OLIH VSDQ JLYH SRRU SHUIRUPDQFH DUH QRLV\ plus  they  cost  more  in  the  long  run!  WE  DON’T  DO  “PAD  SLAPSâ€?

How  Can  You  Give  Such  Big  Discounts?

We  partnered  with  our  Part  Vendor  and  the  Brake  Manufacturer.  They  provide  the  brake  pads,  we  provide  part  of  the  labor,  and  you  provide  the  food!  We  call  this  a  WIN/WIN! This  is  why  we  can  only  offer  FREE  Brakes  for  a  limited  time.  You  will  save  anywhere  from  $150-­$375  depending  on:  make,  model  &  work  needed.

The  No.  4  seed  will  apparently Â

face  No.  13  Harwood  (4-­16),  while  the  No.  5  seed  will  probably  draw  6-­14  Hartford.   Fans  will  be  happy  if  those  games  are  exciting  as  this  past  Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  matchup  in  Vergennes.

FFA  keeps  learning  up-­to-­date ADDISON  COUNTY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  FFA  (formally  Future  Farmers  of  Ameri-­ ca)  is  a  national  organization  found-­ ed  by  a  group  of  young  farmers  back  in  1928.  The  FFA  helps  young  people  develop  career,  leadership  and  life  skills  through  agricultural  education.  Today  agriculture  is  more  than  planting  and  harvesting  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  sci-­ ence,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  business  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  art.

Locally  here  in  Addison  County,  FFA  members  are  typically  students  enrolled  in  agricultural  courses  such Â

as  the  Sustainable  Agriculture,  For-­ estry  and  Natural  Resources;͞  Diesel  Power  Technology;͞  Mechanical  Sci-­ ence;͞  or  Plant/Animal  Science  pro-­ grams  at  the  Hannaford  Career  Cen-­ ter  or  Vergennes  Union  High  School.

Students  have  the  opportunity  to  compete  in  career  development  events,  also  known  as  CDEs,  with  other  FFA  members  from  around  the  state.  FFA  teams  that  win  these  events  are  eligible  to  travel  to  the  National  FFA  Conference  in  Indiana  representing  Vermont  to  compete Â

against  teams  from  the  other  states.

This  year  the  Hannaford  Career  Center  Sustainable  Agriculture,  For-­ estry  and  Natural  Resources  class  attended  the  Vermont  Farm  Show  in  late  January.  The  Middlebury  ))$ IRUHVWU\ WHDP SODFHG ¿UVW RXW RI D ¿HOG RI FRPSHWLQJ VFKRROV and  will  travel  to  nationals  in  the  fall.  Students  are  currently  prepar-­ ing  for  competitions  to  be  held  May  4  at  Shelburne  Farms,  in  the  areas  of  Dairy  and  Horse  Judging,  Farm  Business  and  Mechanics.

United  Way (Continued  from  Page  1) around  even  with  last  year,  which  was  $680,000,â&#x20AC;?  said  Nancy  Luke,  UWACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  manager  of  development  and  marketing.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sadly,  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  think  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  make  our  goal.â&#x20AC;?

A  look  at  the  ledger  reveals,  among  other  things,  that  UWAC  has  been  gleaning  less  from  its  payroll  deduction  campaign,  through  which  workers  at  participating  businesses  agree  to  set  aside  a  certain  amount  from  each  paycheck  for  the  annual  United  Way  fund  drive.  Proceeds  are  allocated  to  UWACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  29  partner  agencies,  which  provide  low-­income  Addison  County  residents  with  food,  shelter,  counseling,  clothing  and  oth-­ er  vital  human  services.

Luke  noted  126  businesses  par-­ ticipated  in  the  2013-­2014  UWAC  campaign.  Ninety-­nine  businesses  thus  far  have  signed  up  for  the  2014-­ 2015  fund  drive,  according  to  Luke.  Payroll  yield  from  the  2013-­2014  campaign  was  $312,508,  compared  to  $210,846  so  far  this  year  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  not  including  approximately  $8,000  still  expected  to  come  in.

Luke  stressed  donors  still  have  plenty  of  time  to  give  to  the  2014  campaign.  And  she  noted  an  upcom-­ ing  event  that  could  generate  a  nice  chunk  of  change:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;United  in  Har-­ mony,â&#x20AC;?  a  competition  of  a  cappella  groups,  is  set  for  Thursday,  May  7,  at  the  Town  Hall  Theater  in  Middle-­ bury.  Teams  of  three  to  12  singers  are  invited  to  register  for  the  compe-­ tition,  during  which  they  will  harmo-­ nize  before  a  group  of  judges.  Entry  and  admission  fees  will  go  to  United  Way  of  Addison  County.  First  prize  will  be  $500;Íž  second  prize  will  fetch  $250. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  this  event  has  some  real  potential,â&#x20AC;?  Luke  said.
