Guest  editorial Legislature  faces  crucial decisions  on  current  use Among  the  many  issues  being  debated  in  Montpelier  that  could  have  a  lasting  impact  on  Vermont’s  environment  and  economy  are  possible  chang-­ es  to  the  Current  Use  program. Current  Use  allows  farm  and  forestland  to  be  valued,  for  the  purposes  of  property  taxation,  at  its  â€œuseâ€?  value  instead  of  its  potential  development  YDOXH 7KDW UHGXFHV D VLJQLÂżFDQW FRVW WR IDUPHUV DQG IRUHVWODQG RZQHUV DQG it’s  widely  believed  that  Current  Use  is  one  of  the  single  most  important  land  conservation  policies  Vermont  has  ever  created.  The  premise  behind  the  law  â€”  that  land  in  production  for  farm  or  forestry  purposes  should  be  taxed  fairly  â€”  has  been  strongly  supported  for  years  by  conservationists,  farm  groups,  woodland  owners,  the  forest  products  industry  and  others. $PRQJ WKH PDQ\ EHQHÂżWV &XUUHQW 8VH VXSSRUWV RXU ZRUNLQJ ODQGV HFRQ-­ omy,  helps  reduce  our  cost  of  community  services  â€”  because  forestland  and  farms  demand  far  fewer  town  services  than  residential  subdivisions  or  commercial  development  â€”  and  helps  maintain  Vermont’s  scenic  beauty  and  vibrant  tourism  industry. This  year,  there  is  a  proposal  to  require  farmers  to  implement  very  basic  measures  to  protect  water  quality  to  remain  eligible  in  the  program.  This  is  a  good  idea  because  enrollment  in  Current  Use  should  come  with  an  ex-­ pectation  of  responsible  stewardship  of  the  natural  resources  on  which  we  all  depend.  Water  is  one  of  those  natural  resources.  Forest  landowners  that  enroll  in  the  program  have  to  comply  with  acceptable  management  practices  to  maintain  water  quality;Íž  therefore  it  is  reasonable  to  ask  farmers  to  do  the  same. Under  statute,  the  purpose  of  the  Current  Use  program  is  to  â€œmaintain  and  conserve  Vermont’s  productive  agricultural  and  forest  land;Íž  protect  Vermont’s  natural  ecological  systems;Íž  prevent  the  accelerated  conversion  of  these  lands  to  more  intensive  use  by  the  pressure  of  property  taxation;Íž  achieve  more  equitable  taxation  for  undeveloped  lands;Íž  preserve  and  en-­ hance  Vermont’s  scenic  natural  resources;Íž  and  enable  the  citizens  of  Ver-­ mont  to  plan  for  orderly  growth  in  the  face  of  increasing  development  pres-­ sures.â€? This  proposal,  designed  to  both  maintain  agricultural  land  and  also  pro-­ tect  ecological  systems  and  water  quality,  is  very  much  in  keeping  with  the  intent  of  Current  Use. Another  proposal  under  consideration  â€”  stopping  new  enrollment  for  three  years  and  increasing  taxes  on  enrolled  farm  buildings  â€”  is  not  such  a  good  idea.  Going  back  six  years,  the  Legislature  asked  groups  that  sup-­ SRUW &XUUHQW 8VH WR ÂżQG PLOOLRQ LQ VDYLQJV IURP WKH SURJUDP $ ZLGH range  of  organizations  supporting  agriculture,  forestry  and  land  conserva-­ tion  came  together  and  offered  their  best  solutions.  The  idea  that  rose  to  the  WRS LV WR Âż[ WKH ZHDN SHQDOW\ IRU ZLWKGUDZLQJ DQG GHYHORSLQJ D SRUWLRQ RI land  from  the  program.  Three  years  in  a  row,  the  House  acted  on  this  recom-­ mendation  and  passed  legislation  to  strengthen  the  penalty.

Letter  criticizing  reverend  on  gun  issues  not  civil A  Jan.  29  letter  to  the  editor  of  the  Addison  Independent,  by  John  Burton  of  Cornwall,  unfairly  and  unjustly  criticizes  Rev.  Barnaby  Feder,  minister  of  Champlain  Val-­ ley  Unitarian  Universalist  Society,  Middlebury. The  most  egregious  intent  of  the  letter  was  to  equate  and  accuse  Rev.  Feder  of  sympathizing  with  the  Nazi  regime  of  World  War.  The  Nazi  war  horrors  rank  among  the  worst  of  all  crimes  against  humanity  in  all  history.  We  can’t  think  of  anything  more  horrible  than  to  associate  someone  with  the  Nazi  atrocities  that  are  fresh  in  our  minds  on  this,  the  70th  anniversary  of  the  liberation  of Â

Auschwitz. We  can  all  have  a  cordial  debate  where  we  offer  our  opinions  and  information  without  maligning  our  fellow  citizens.  Rev.  Feder  is  offering  his  side  of  the  effort  to  keep  guns  from  the  hands  of  those  who,  under  federal  law,  shouldn’t  have  them,  by  support-­ ing  background  checks  for  most  private  sales  in  Vermont  under  the  exact  same  requirements  already  in  place  for  licensed  gun  dealers.  And  he  has  much  support  through-­ out  Vermont. The  proposed  legislation  does  not  infringe  on  Second  Amend-­ ment  rights.  And  there  are  statis-­ tics  about  gun  violence  that  will Â

be  addressed  in  another  letter. In  the  meantime  let  us  have  an  amenable  conversation  about  the  proposed  legislation  and  call  off  the  innuendo  to  horrible  things  of  the  past.

in  New  Zealand.  The  surgery  she  needed  was  not  done  anywhere  in  that  country,  so  the  New  Zealand  National  Health  Service  covered  all  expenses  for  her  and  her  husband  to  go  to  Sydney,  Australia,  where  she  received  the  care  she  needed.  All  costs  were  covered,  including  the  air  fare. What  people  are  spending  on  health  care  in  other  advanced  na-­ tions  is  less  than  what  we  spend  in  this  country  for  insurance,  co-­pays, Â

deductibles,  and  all  the  rest.  And  the  care  is  often  better.  I  pray  all  the  time  that  in  our  great  country,  especially  right  here  in  Vermont,  we  will  work  through  the  details  so  that  everyone’s  basic  need  for  health  care  will  no  longer  be  the  cause  of  GHHS DQ[LHW\ ÂżQDQFLDO FULVLV DQG desperation,  the  way  it  is  for  too  many  people  here  now.

The  Addison  Independent  encourages  readers  to  write  letters  to  the  editor.  We  believe  a  newspaper  should  be  a  community  forum  for  people  to  debate  issues  of  the  day Because  we  believe  that  accountability  makes  for  responsible  debate,  we  will  print  signed  letters  only.  Be  sure  to  include  an  address  and  telephone  number,  too,  so  we  can  call  to  clear  up  any  questions.

Notes

Vermont  poised  to  win  new  â€˜Battle  of  Cornwall’  against  Vermont  Gas

Playwright  lauds  local  coffeehouse

Vermont  Gas  Systems  needs  a  history  lesson  from  my  fourth-­grade  son.  In  the  book  he  is  writing  about  the  Revolutionary  War  period  he  says,  â€œI  am  going  to  show  that  Ver-­ monters  were  independent  thinkers  during  the  1700s,  and  today  they  still  are.â€?  The  short  book  is  packed  with  information.  Vermonters  â€œdidn’t  want  anybody  ruling  them,â€?  so  they  â€œgot  into  the  Revolutionary  War.â€?  They  â€œmade  their  own  country,  the  Repub-­ lic  of  Vermont.â€?  One’s  very  survival  here,  my  son  concludes,  depended  on  being  â€œan  independent  thinker.â€?  It  is  understandable  that  VGS  does  not  know  about  Vermonters.  It  is,  after  all,  a  subsidiary  of  the  multibil-­ lion  dollar  Gaz  MĂŠtro,  from  Canada,  whose  executives  must  never  have  learned  about  how  the  Green  Moun-­ tain  Boys  protected  their  neighbors’  land  and  crops  from  New  Yorkers  who  were  egged  on  by  the  British  government  to  take  control  of  our  ter-­ ritory.  I  think  we  often  forget  that  the  head  of  state  in  Canada  still  is  Queen  Elizabeth  II. We  did  not  like  outsiders  telling  us  what  to  do  with  our  land  then,  and  we  do  not  like  it  now.  Then,  New  York  tried  physical  force  to  get  the  people  to  comply.  Today,  VGS  uses  the  force  of  money. Last  September  the  chair  of  Corn-­ wall’s  selectboard  asked  whether  a  town  that  voted  â€œdecisivelyâ€?  against  a  deal  could  nonetheless  â€œbe  forced  to  accept  that  project.â€?  Bruce  Hiland  WHVWLÂżHG WR WKH 3XEOLF 6HUYLFH %RDUG 36% WKDW 3KDVH ,, RI WKH SURSRVHG fracked  gas  pipeline  was  â€œno  more  attractive  to  Cornwall  than  when  its  voters  spoke  in  March.â€?  Six  months  after  the  vote,  Hiland  lashed  out  that  the  project  could  establish  â€œa  ruinous  precedentâ€?  that  an  â€œentity  with  deep  enough  pockets  can  purchase  the  public  good  over  the  objections  of  directly  affected  towns.â€?  Judging  by  what  happened  next,  VGS  must  have  studied  Hiland’s  WHVWLPRQ\ FDUHIXOO\ /LNH 3UHVLGHQW Lincoln  who  held  his  enemies  close,  VGS  snuggled  up  to  Cornwall  and  its  vocal  leader.  By  its  own  admis-­ sion,  the  Cornwall  selectboard  started  meeting  with  VGS  in  secret  in  September,  and  within  three  months  VGS  had  convinced  the  board  that  it  should  surrender  its  opposition  to  the  project  and  sign  a  memorandum  RI XQGHUVWDQGLQJ 028 ,Q RWKHU words,  the  â€œtwo  trackâ€?  path  peddled  by  lawyer  Ben  Marks  is  a  charade,  because  an  MOU  demands  that  Corn-­ wall  renounce  opposition. At  the  very  moment  on  Dec.  16,  2014,  when  WCAX  was  running  a  prematurely  leaked  story  assert-­ ing  that  Cornwall  â€œhas  now  reached  a  deal  to  accept  the  project,â€?  the  selectboard  was,  in  reality,  getting  skewered  by  a  few  dozen  irate  people  for  betraying  their  trust,  negotiat-­ ing  behind  their  backs,  and  for  even  considering  compliance  with  VGS  against  their  will.  The  board  tabled  the  issue.  In  those  three  months  of  negotiat-­

ing  with  VGS  the  selectboard  had  forgotten  the  people  in  Cornwall  are  independent  thinkers  with  integrity.  The  mere  idea  that  a  bribe  to  the  town  ($150,000  each  year  for  10  \HDUV FRXOG VLOHQFH WKHLU REMHFWLRQV LV LQVXOWLQJ 3HRSOH NQRZ ZHOO WKDW LI they  take  hush  money  for  the  school  they  will  have  taught  their  children  a  damning  â€”  and  historically  tone  deaf  â€”  lesson.  Fear  not,  young,  impressionable  souls,  you  do  have  heroes,  they  live  in  Cornwall,  and  they  are  true,  independent  Vermonters.  VGS  wants  your  parents  and  your  neighbors  to  take  a  â€œneutral  positionâ€?  in  exchange  for  money  because  it  cannot  get  a  permit  to  construct  the  pipeline  without  having  Cornwall  in  its  deep,  Canadian  corporate  pocket.  How  do  we  know  this?  On  Dec.  19,  two  heartbeats  after  VGS  was  thwarted  by  the  people  of  Cornwall,  VGS  UHTXHVWHG D VXVSHQVLRQ RI WKH 3KDVH II  proceedings.  Everyone  assumes  that  VGS  will  want  to  â€œun-­suspendâ€?  if  and  when  it  can  convince  Cornwall  to  sign  an  MOU. In  addition  to  the  direct  $1.5  mil-­ lion  bribe,  VGS  proposes  to  spend  $2.8  million  to  bring  gas  service  to  half  of  Cornwall.  Fuel  distribution  via  pipeline  is  suited  to  high-­density  population  areas.  Distribution  in  Cornwall,  even  for  a  gasaholic,  is  pure  madness.  But  $2.8  million  is  in  reality  worth  some  $80  million-­$100  million  for  VGS  because  if  Cornwall  signs  an  MOU  with  distribution,  VGS  will  have  fabricated  a  â€œpublic  goodâ€?  for  Vermont,  thereby  virtually  secur-­ LQJ DSSURYDO IRU LWV 3KDVH ,, SHUPLW 6SRLOHU DOHUW 3HRSOH GR QRW ZDQW the  pipeline  or  the  gas.  VGS  con-­ ducted  a  push  poll  in  Addison  County  last  summer,  asking  folks  a  variety  of  leading  questions.  If  the  push  poll  results  made  VGS  look  good,  I  assure  you  they  would  be  shouting  the  results  from  the  top  of  Mount  0DQVÂżHOG %XW LQVWHDG WKH WRZQ RI &RUQZDOO KDG WR ÂżOH D PRWLRQ WR FRP-­ pel  VGS  to  reveal  the  results.  The  36% JUDQWHG WKH UHTXHVW EXW 9*6 came  back  repeatedly  asking  for  the  deadline  to  be  extended  from  No-­ vember  â€Ś  and  then  to  December  â€Ś  WR -DQXDU\ ÂŤ DQG ÂżQDOO\ WR 0DUFK VGS  is  desperate  to  hide  the  poll,  and  evidently  the  most  effective  way  is  to  keep  negotiating  with  Cornwall  and  throw  more  money  at  the  town  until  it  accepts  an  MOU. Well,  everybody  has  a  price,  right?  I  wonder  what  Ned  Farquhar’s  is.  In  1989  as  the  associate  director  of  the  Vermont  Natural  Resources  Council  he  was  an  outspoken  opponent  of  WKH &KDPSODLQ 3LSHOLQH SURSRVHG WR cut  339  miles  across  Vermont.  That  pipeline  was  run  out  of  town  with  the  help  of  people  like  Farquhar.  But  that  was  then.  Today,  Farquhar  is  a  com-­ munications  consultant  for  VGS,  and  presumably  a  priceless  one,  since  his  post-­VNRC  resume  includes  the  De-­ partment  of  the  Interior  and  Gov.  Bill  Richardson.  Wherein  lies  the  need  for  such  expensive  communications? Â

of appreciation

At  a  certain  point  we  should  be  able  to  say,  â€œIf  you  must  spend  such  an  obscene  amount  of  money  just  to  convince  people  to  accept  your  proj-­ ect  then  it  is  no  longer  decent.â€? A  company  that  tries  to  buy  people  apparently  will  sell  them,  too.  VGS  customers  are  a  cross-­section  of  the  people  in  Franklin  and  Chittenden  counties,  including  the  elderly  and  ¿[HG RU ORZ LQFRPH :KLOH WR FXV-­ tomers’  faces  VGS  touts  the  savings  from  gas,  behind  their  backs  VGS  devised  a  plan  to  add  a  charge  to  its  customers’  monthly  bills  amount-­ ing  to  $4.4  million  every  year  for  20  years  to  be  used  for  expanding  the  pipeline. If  you  are  thinking  that  such  ven-­ ture  capital  would  be  more  rightly  put  forward  by  the  Canadian  multi-­billion  dollar  company  gambling  on  this  venture  than  by  unsuspecting  custom-­ ers,  then  you  and  I  are  in  agreement.  The  plan  is  so  duplicitous  that  many  customers  do  not  believe  it  is  true. Â

As  they  learn  the  truth,  no  doubt  they  will  have  as  low  an  opinion  of  the  scheme  as  the  early  Vermont  settlers  had  of  the  British  tax. I  looked  up  the  Battle  of  Corn-­ wall  â€”  England,  1595.  The  battle  OLNH VR PDQ\ UHDGV DV KLVWRULFDOO\ LQVLJQLÂżFDQW ZLWK PXFK PHDQLQJOHVV bloodshed.  On  the  other  side  of  the  fossil  fuel  era,  420  years  later,  another  Battle  of  Cornwall  has  commenced.  The  outcome  will  have  implications  UXQQLQJ EDFN XS WKH OLQH IRU 3KDVH , to  say  nothing  of  our  hope  for  a  liv-­ able  future.  Instead  of  shedding  blood  if  the  town  is  bought  by  VGS,  how-­ ever,  Vermonters  will  be  shedding  our  independence.  I  wager,  however,  that  the  spirit  of  the  Green  Mountain  Boys  will  rally  to  the  side  of  the  ratepayers  and  to  the  people  of  Cornwall,  and  the  battle  for  independence  will  be  won  with  integrity  â€”  inviolable  and  free.  Rebecca  Foster Charlotte

Carol’s  Hungry  Mind  is  a  local  treasure. I  recently  did  a  reading  of  my  new  play  at  Carol’s,  for  which  Ally  and  Kelly,  two  of  their  fun  and  kind  employees,  gave  me  their  excellent  help  for  three  hours  â€”  until  9  p.m.  They  usually  close  at  5  p.m. It’s  warm  and  cozy,  they  have  great  food  and  drinks  and  they  asked  me  to  kick  in  a  mere  $100  (which  I  didn’t  quite  get  from  donations  and  WKH\ VDLG Âł)LQH´ 'R WKH PDWK ² WKH\ GR WKLV IRU ORYH QRW SURÂżW What  a  service  to  the  community.  And  to  performers  like  me.

Ferrisburgh  Eine (Continued  from  Page  1) and  another  seeks  $16,000  for  the  school’s  technology  fund. Ferrisburgh  voters  will  also  be  weighing  in  on  a  proposed  $10.47  million  Vergennes  Union  High  School  budget  and  a  related  $100,000  VUHS  capital  improve-­ ment  spending  article.  According  to  Addison  North-­ west  Supervisory   Union  estimates,  the  Ferrisburgh  residential  school  tax  rate  could  increase  by  about  9.5  cents,  or  roughly  6  percent,  to  $1.6535.  Ferrisburgh’s  school  tax  rate  is  currently  $1.557.  $1Z68 RIÂżFLDOV DUH H[SHFWLQJ a  2-­cent  increase  in  the  statewide  school  tax  rate  that  the  Agency  of  Education  recommended  to  the  Legislature.  The  statewide  educa-­ tion  tax  rate  will  be  incorporated  in  all  ANwSU  school  tax  rates,  and  the  projected  rate  is  used  in  the  es-­ timates. According  to  Ferrisburgh  town  of-­ ÂżFLDOV WKH WRZQ SRUWLRQ RI WKH )HU-­ risburgh  tax  rate  could  increase  by  about  3.5  cents  if  the  residents  back  three  things:  the  proposed  select-­ board  budget,  $30,800  of  charitable  UHTXHVWV DQG WKUHH RWKHU ÂżQDQFLDO DU-­ ticles  totaling  $80,000. Thus,  town  homeowners  could  be  looking  at  a  13-­cent  increase  in  the  overall  Ferrisburgh  property  tax  rate.  That  would  translate  to  $130  per  $100,000  of  assessed  value. About  two-­thirds  of  Ferrisburgh  households  are  eligible  for  property  tax  relief  under  the  state’s  education  ¿QDQFLQJ ODZV DQG VKRXOG UHFHLYH prebates  that  would  lessen  the  im-­ pact  of  any  increase  in  the  school  tax  rate.  Most  prebates  for  households  earning  under  $90,000  are  more  than  $1,000,  often  much  higher. BUDGET  DETAILS To  limit  the  proposed  spending  hike  to  less  than  3  percent,  ANwSU  Superintendent  JoAn  Canning  said  the  board  and  Principal  JoAnn  Taft-­ %ODNHO\ PDGH VLJQLÂżFDQW SHUVRQQHO cuts  from  an  earlier  budget  draft,  ad-­ justments  totaling  about  $134,000. Most  notably,  Canning  said  one  teacher  will  be  moving  out  of  state  and  will  not  be  replaced,  while  the  number  of  aides  at  the  school  will  be  reduced  by  one. The  school’s  enrichment  position,  now  at  30  percent,  is  proposed  to  be  cut  back  to  20  percent,  while  Span-­ ish  will  no  longer  be  offered.  The  school  nurse  will  also  become  a  20  percent  job,  down  from  30  percent.  Canning  said  a  number  of  smaller  cuts  were  also  made  to  items  such  as  classroom  technology,  supplies  and  professional  development  for  the  principal. Despite  the  changes,  Canning  said  VKH DQG ERDUG PHPEHUV DUH FRQÂż-­ dent  the  budget  proposal  would  meet  the  school’s  and  the  students’  needs.  â€œWe  both  believe  it  does,â€?  she  said.  â€œIt  keeps  the  school  more  in  line  with  the  class  size  policy,  and  continues  to  offer  additional  enrich-­ ment  opportunities  for  the  students,  but  not  at  the  same  level.â€?

But  wouldn’t  it  seem  disingenuous  if  a  renowned  street  artist,  dedicated  to  a  movement  that  removes  eco-­ nomic  barriers  to  art,  presented  his  work  at  a  private  liberal-­arts  college  in  New  England?  Eine  scoffed  at  the  notion. “See,  everybody  says  that!â€?  he  exclaimed.  â€œI  sell  paintings  for  up  to  $20,000.  I  make  a  luxury  product  that  not  many  people  can  afford  to  buy.  This  is  the  ideal  place  to  show Â

my  art.  I  also  have  this  weird  fasci-­ nation  with  painting  things  on  the  street,  which  I  enjoy  and  it’s  fun,  more  like  a  hobby.â€? As  someone  who  supports  him-­ self  through  his  artwork  alone,  he  said  museums  like  Middlebury’s  are  a  place  where  he  can  introduce  his  work  to  people  who  may  be  in-­ terested  in  buying  it.  In  other  words,  he  doesn’t  see  commercial  success  and  critical  acclaim  as  mutually  ex-­ clusive. “From  a  career  perspective,  and  an  audience  perspective,  this  is  the  most  ideal  place  to  put  my  work,â€?  he  said. Â

“Just  because  we  paint  stuff  in  the  street  doesn’t  mean  we’re  cheeky  lit-­ tle  urchins,  stealing  our  spray  paint.  We’re  vaguely  successful  artists.â€? Eine  said  he’s  eager  to  show  his  work  in  museums  because  that  is  the  only  way  to  preserve  his  art. “As  artists  we’re  kind  of  egomani-­ acs  to  a  degree,â€?  he  said.  â€œThe  dream  is  to  have  your  art  exhibited  way  af-­ ter  you  die.  Ninety-­nine  point  nine  percent  of  the  things  I’ve  created  on  the  street  no  longer  exists.â€? He  said  that  despite  his  success,  he  does  not  seek  out  fame  and  shies  away  from  making  public  appear-­

ances  he’s  not  obligated  to  go  to.  Even  the  ones  he  has  to  attend  are  a  drag. “It’s  a  nightmare  being  photo-­ graphed  at  an  opening  I  don’t  give  a  shit  about,â€?  he  said.  â€œI’d  rather  be  in  my  studio  painting.â€? As  for  interrupting  his  art  to  talk  to  a  reporter,  he  said  he  is  glad  to  take  the  time,  because  he  sees  giving  in-­ terviews  as  a  way  to  promote  street  art  as  a  whole. “It’s  good  for  the  movement,  more  than  promoting  me,â€?  Eine  said.  â€œI’m  happy  to  talk  about  all  the  art  and  not  even  mention  my  name.â€?

Homeward  Bound

Tip  of  the  Week One  of  the  most  common  reasons  cats  are  surrendered  to  Homeward  Bound  is  for  â€œinap-­ propriate  elimination.â€?  This  is  a  euphemism  for  not  using  the  litter  box.  Because  we  see  this  so  often,  and  see  the  heartbreak  it  causes  many  loving  pet  owners  who  make  the  choice  to  re-­home Â

their  pets,  we  want  to  make  sure  to  let  every  one  know  that  a  VLPSOH Âż [ ZH RIWHQ HPSOR\ KHUH is  to  offer  the  cat  a  covered  litter  box.  So  often,  it  turns  out  that  what  we  consider  not  using  the  box  is  what  the  cat  considers  just  getting  close  to  the  side.  It’s  DQ HDV\ Âż [

(Continued  from  previous  page) cus  for  too  long,  Prism  will  make  some  choices  of  her  own,  inspir-­ ing  the  child  to  take  the  lead  with  a  simple  change  of  action  and  awareness.   Through  this  type  of  learning,  the  leadership  a  horse  requires  and  the  self-­leadership  a  child  gains,  develop  together. Often  people  ask,  â€œIn  what  way  is  riding  therapeutic?â€?  with  the  assumption  that  it’s  the  love  of  the  animal  that  spurs  change,  which  is  true.   But  in  equine  therapy,  the  re-­ lationship  provides  enduring  mo-­ tivation  for  coordinating  thought,  movement  and/or  words  to  direct  the  horse.    A  child  experiences  immediate  and  direct  feedback,  while  learning  to  integrate  his/her  messages  through  trial  and  error.  Â

In  this  way,  the  child  gains  focus  and  coordination,  learns  to  make  clear  decisions,  is  motivated  to  speak,  to  try  with  persistence  and  more.   The  animal’s  responses,  not  the  least  of  which  is  love,  help  the  child  gain  confidence  to  do  more  and  more.   Rainbow  Prism  guides  her  students  masterfully  along  this  enriching  path. Rainbow  Prism  works  in  The  Horse’s  Touch  therapy  program,  as  well  as  the  general  lesson  program  and  Pony  Day  Camp,  at  Twitchell  Hill  Farm  in  New  Haven.  Editor’s  note:  This  article  was  contributed  by  Susan  Gu-­ ran,  instructor  and  trainer  for  The  Horse’s  Touch  program  at   Twitchell  Hill  Farm.

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abe Union High School Otter Valley Union High School is pleased to present Maggie Smith as its Student of the Week. Maggie lives in Chittenden with her parents, Brian and Meredith Smith. Her brother, Wesley, is a freshman at OV. Maggie has made scholars’ roll every year of high school and is a member of the National Honor Society. She is vice president of Student Council and secretary of the class of 2015, and is a member of the Project Graduation Committee. Last year she was enrolled in Advanced Placement Chemistry, and currently she is taking AP Biology, AP European History, AP Literature and Composition, AP Calculus, and Physics. Maggie has been a member of Walking Stick Theatre since eighth grade, and is currently directing the play “Law and Order: Fairy Tale Unit.â€? She is also rehearsing for the one-act play “She Kills Monsters.â€? She has played softball since freshman year, making varsity as a junior. She has also been a member of the Lakes Region Youth Orchestra for one semester a year since freshman year. Margaret  â€œMaggieâ€?  Smith For the past two summers Maggie has volunteered at the Rutland O.V.U.H.S. Regional Medical Center within the Smoking Cessation department. For the past three summers she has worked as the babysitter of two young children, soon to become three, at Camp Betsey Cox. Outside of school Maggie enjoys reading, skiing, hanging out with her friends, and occasionally rock climbing. Her advice for other students would be, “It’s never too early to start working hard. You’d be surprised how things you did years ago still impact you.â€? Beyond high school, Maggie intends to study chemistry or biochemistry for a bachelor’s degree, then work in a laboratory of some kind. After several years she hopes to go back to school and become a high school biology or chemistry teacher. 0U 'Z\HU VD\V RI 0DJJLH ´7KH Ă€ UVW ZRUGV WKDW FRPH WR PLQG LQ GHVFULELQJ 0DJJLH 6PLWK DUH G\QDPLF HQHUJL]HG DQG acutely perceptive.

Registration begins on Feb. 20 for UVM’s tree stewards course MIDDLEBURY  â€”  Registra-­ tion  is  now  open  for  the  Stew-­ ardship  of  the  Urban  Landscape  (SOUL)  Tree  Stewards  course,  offered  by  the  Vermont  Urban  and  Community  Forestry  Program  to  teach  participants  about  trees  in  urban  landscapes  and  give  them  the  skills  to  be  involved  in  local  forestry  issues  and  projects. Classes  will  be  held  at  the  Uni-­ versity  of  Vermont  (UVM)  Ex-­ WHQVLRQ 2IÂżFH LQ 0LGGOHEXU\ Pond  Lane,  Suite  300)  on  four  consecutive  Wednesdays  from  5:30-­8  p.m.,  beginning  March  18,  with  an  all-­day  Saturday  session  on  April  18.  Space  is  limited  so  early  registration  is  advised. Through  presentations,  group  discussions  and  hands-­on  train-­ ing,  participants  will  gain  the  skills  needed  to  be  a  tree  steward  in  their  local  community.  The  course  will  cover  a  range  of  topics  including  WUHH ELRORJ\ DQG KHDOWK LGHQWLÂż-­ cation,  planting  and  maintenance,  Vermont  tree  laws  and  policies  and  tools  to  communicate  and  assess  WKH EHQHÂżWV RI WUHHV DPRQJ RWKHUV Course  participants  are  expected Â

Preregistration  is  required.  The  fee  is  $50  if  paid  by  Feb.  27,  $60  after  that  date,  and  covers  course  materials  and  lunch  on  the  full-­day  session.

Exhibit  (Continued  from  Page  3) paper,  plywood,  metal  siding  and  the  exterior  of  subway  cars.  Street  art,  ZKLFK WUDFHV LWV URRWV WR JUDIÂżWL DUW in  the  1960s  and  â€™70s,  encompass-­ es  a  wide  spectrum  of  art  in  public  places. Museum  curators  Emmie  Dona-­ dio  and  Chris  Murray  said  the  ex-­ hibit  was  inspired  by  a  2011  TED  Talk  given  by  French  street  artist  and  photographer  JR,  in  which  he  described  how  street  art  can  be  used  to  upend  social  norms  and  invalidate  stereotypes. The  talk  will  play  continuously  on  a  television  at  the  center  of  the  exhibit.  A  hallmark  of  JR’s  work  is  photographing  portraits  of  everyday  people,  encouraged  to  make  strange  faces  and  express  themselves  as  they  choose. His  work  gained  widespread  rec-­ ognition  after  he  visited  Israel  and  Palestine  and  photographed  citizens  of  each  state  who  worked  at  the  same  occupation.  He  posted  the  pho-­ tographs  side-­by-­side  in  Israeli  and  Palestinian  cities,  which  angered  some  onlookers. “He’d  ask  them,  â€˜Can  you  tell  me  which  is  which?’  And  they  couldn’t,â€?  Murray  said.  â€œThat’s  the Â

sort  of  activism  (street  art)  can  do.â€? Donadio  said  JR’s  work  is  an  example  of  what  street  artists  have  been  doing  for  decades. “It’s  about  art  activism  and  artists  as  activists  in  the  world,â€?  she  said  of  JR’s  work.  â€œThere  are  a  lot  of  ste-­ reotypes  that  are  blown  up  by  street  artists.â€? That  experience  inspired  JR  to  create  the  â€œInside  Outâ€?  project,  in  which  he  and  other  photographers  take  portraits  of  everyday  people.  The  Middlebury  exhibit  will  feature  portraits  of  current  students,  who  are  now  numbered  among  the  people  from  112  countries  who  have  taken  part  in  the  project. One  goal  for  the  â€œOutside  In:  Art  of  the  Streetâ€?  exhibit  is  to  draw  stu-­ dents  to  the  museum  that  might  not  otherwise  visit.  â€œWe’d  been  talking  about  trying  to  put  together  an  exhibit  that  would  appeal  to  the  students,â€?  Murray  said.  â€œWhile  we  have  this  great  museum,  not  all  of  the  students  take  advantage  of  it.â€? Murray  said  he  and  Donadio  chose  the  artists  for  the  exhibit  based  on  a  massive  list  they’d  compiled  of  street  artists  from  across  the  globe. Âł,W ZDV GLIÂżFXOW IRU XV WR SDUH LW

down  to  these  16  artists,â€?  Murray  said.  â€œThese  are  among  the  most  LQĂ€XHQWLDO DUWLVWV LQ WKH VWUHHW DUW world.â€? Many  of  the  pieces  showcased  are  not  originals,  but  numbered  prints.  Murray  said  the  museum  sought  to  purchase  prints  rather  than  originals  to  make  the  exhibit  more  accessible  â€”  anyone  with  a  few  hundred  dol-­ lars  could  purchase  a  similar  work. “We’re  purposely  only  showing  works  on  paper  or  editions,â€?  Murray  said.  â€œTheir  original  works  at  galler-­ ies  can  sell  for  tens  of  thousands  of  dollars.  But  here,  like  all  the  work  you  stumble  upon  on  the  street,  is  accessible  to  everyone.â€? As  opposed  to  artists  who  sell  their  work  at  auction  or  in  galleries,  Murray  said  many  of  the  street  art-­ ists  featured  sell  their  work  online,  where  anyone  can  purchase  it.  But  you’ll  need  to  have  good  timing:  The  work  â€”  especially  by  world-­ famous  artists  like  Banksy  â€”  sells  out  in  minutes. The  exhibit  will  open  Friday  and  run  through  April  19.  More  informa-­ tion  and  museum  hours  are  online  at  museum.middlebury.edu.  Donadio  and  Murray  will  give  a  gallery  talk  on  the  exhibit  on  Feb.  19  at  4:30  p.m.

Solar (Continued  from  Page  1) based  on  the  electric  output  of  the  array.  The  array  went  online  on  the  last  day  of  2013  and  just  completed  LWV ÂżUVW \HDU RI RSHUDWLRQ So  how  did  it  fare?  Well,  not  as  well  as  expected.  The  developer  estimated  the  150-­kilowatt,  net-­me-­ tered  array  would  produce  200,000  kilowatt  hours  of  electricity  annu-­ ally.  But  in  2014  the  array  produced  just  176,502  kWh,  or  88  percent  of  the  projection. As  a  result,  Vergennes  saved  less  on  its  power  bill  than  expected.  The  city  did  save  $3,960.

He  said  Encore,  which  has  in-­ stalled  7  megawatts  of  solar  panels  in  Vermont,  sought  to  site  an  array  on  the  city’s  wastewater  treatment  plant  because  the  company  seeks  to  use  land  that  is  unsuitable  for  other  development. “Anytime  we  can  use  otherwise  unusable  property,  we  always  look  to  deploy  on  those  types  of  sites,  like  ODQGÂżOOV DQG URRIV ´ )DUUHOO VDLG PREDICTING  OUTPUT Overall,  solar  developers  said  that  even  in  cloudy  Vermont,  solar  isn’t  a  guessing  game.  Nathaniel  Vandal  of  *UHHQ3HDNV 6RODU LQ :DLWVÂżHOG VDLG that  using  mathematical  formulas,  engineers  can  predict  output  with  a  high  level  of  certainty. He  said  typically,  developers  base  their  projections  on  the  probability  that  an  array’s  output  will  exceed  expectations. “Many  developers  use  the  best  es-­ timate  of  â€˜average’  production,â€?  he  said,  explaining  that  estimate  is  one Â

that  will  be  exceeded  in  50  percent  of  years,  and  not  met  in  the  other  50  percent. This  method,  Vandal  said,  produc-­ es  a  low  margin  of  error. “Generally,  a  bad  year  and  an  ex-­ ceptional  year  do  not  vary  a  tremen-­ dous  amount,â€?  he  said.  â€œTypically  there  is  a  90  percent  probability  that  the  generation  in  a  given  year  will  meet  or  exceed  the  (average)  esti-­ mate.â€? That  margin  of  error  is  created  by  an  uncontrollable  variable  â€”  the  weather.  Thankfully,  there’s  a  handy  collection  of  data,  called  the  Nation-­ al  Solar  Radiation  Database,  which  includes  solar  radiation  data  for  the  United  States  dating  back  to  1961  (it  includes  records  for  Vermont  since  1991). Vandal  said  the  database  gives  de-­ velopers  the  information  they  need  to  project  how  solar  arrays  will  per-­ IRUP LQ D VSHFLÂżF SODFH IRU DQ H[-­ tended  period  of  time. “A  typical  meteorological  year  data  set  provides  designers  and  other  users  meteorological  values  to  typ-­ LI\ FRQGLWLRQV DW D VSHFLÂżF ORFDWLRQ over  a  longer  period  of  time,  say  30  years,â€?  Vandal  said. Vandal  said  GreenPeaks  explains  to  investors,  landowners  and  com-­ munities  that  solar  array  outputs  vary  from  year  to  year,  but  those  variations  balance  out  to  the  calcu-­ lated  average. “It  is  important  to  remember  that  these  are  20-­  to  25-­year  invest-­ ments,â€?  Vandal  said. Duane  Peterson  of  Waterbury  VRODU GHYHORSPHQW ÂżUP 6XQ&RP-­ mon  said  it  was  too  early  to  report  the  output  of  its  150-­kilowatt  Com-­ munity  Solar  Arrays,  since  they  are  only  a  few  weeks  old,  but  said  there  is  a  wealth  of  data  that  engineers  can  use  to  predict  what  areas  are  best  to  site  arrays. He  said  Addison  County  got  high  marks  for  the  amount  of  sunlight  it  receives,  called  irradiance,  lack  of  tree-­shading  and  ample  land  with  few  steep  hills  or  cliffs. Peterson  said  if  any  of  the  arrays Â

THE  PRODUCTIVITY  OF  solar  arrays,  like  this  one  off  Lucius  Shaw  Lane  in  Middlebury,  is  obviously  tied  to  the  weather  and  developers  have  to  take  into  account  snow  and  cloud  cover.  Weather  patterns  in  Vermont  predict  sunny  days  only  51  percent  of  the  year.

One  uncertainty  that  developers  cannot  use  historical  data  to  predict,  Vandal  of  GreenPeaks  said,  is  cli-­ mate  change. A  White  House  climate  change  report  released  last  year  â€”  the  cul-­ mination  of  years  of  research  by  hundreds  of  scientists  â€”  predicted  VLJQLÂżFDQW FRQVHTXHQFHV IRU HDFK region  of  the  country  as  a  result  of  a  changing  climate.  For  the  North-­ east,  and  mountainous  Vermont,  in  particular,  the  report  predicted  a  warmer,  wetter  climate  with  more  cloud  cover. While  climate  change  will  likely  determine  the  future  of  the  solar  in-­ dustry  in  Vermont,  Vandal  said  he’s Â
