By  ZACH  DESPART BRISTOL  —  A  preschool  in  Ethiopia  has  potable  drinking  water,  thanks  to  the  efforts  of  two  Addison  County  students  half  a  world  away.

Fifth-­grader  Carter  Monk  and  third-­grader  Noah  Konczal  orga-­ nized  a  5K  road  race  to  raise  money  to  repair  the  well  at  the  Negat  Kokeb  preschool,  in  Hawassa,  Ethiopia.

Konczal  got  the  idea  after  his  teacher  at  Monkton  Central  School,  Stacey  Carter,  went  to  Ethiopia  last  February  with  a  group  of  Addison  County  teachers  as  part  of  an  ex-­ change  program.

After  learning  about  the  develop-­ ing  East  African  nation,  Konczal  ap-­

proached  Monk,  who  is  Carter’s  son,  about  raising  money  for  the  school,  which  did  not  have  access  to  clean  drinking  water. “We  felt  that  everyone  should  have  their  basic  needs,  and  water  being  such  a  huge  one,�  Monk  said.  “Especially  for  kids  at  such  a  young  age;͞  they  can  get  sick  from  having  dirty  water.�

After  brainstorming  different  ideas,  the  pair  decided  to  host  a  5K  race  on  the  streets  of  Monkton.  They  picked  a  date  after  school  ended  in  June,  so  their  classmates  could  par-­ ticipate.

Editorial Budget  sets  bold  challenges Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  had  little  choice  in  his  third-­term  budget  address  last  7KXUVGD\ EXW WR SURSRVH VLJQL¿FDQW FXWV LQ VSHQGLQJ DQG SURSRVH VRPH LQ-­ creases  in  the  state’s  revenue  stream.  The  state  is  facing  a  $94  million  shortfall  LQ ¿VFDO \HDU DQG KH GLG ZKDW QR SROLWLFLDQ OLNHV WR GR SURSRVH FXWV LQ spending  and  tax  increases.  Nonetheless,  he  did  that,  as  well  as  outline  several  bold  initiatives  that  go  beyond  just  balancing  a  tough  budget,  challenging  legislators  to  keep  an  open  mind  on  his  proposals  and  counter  with  measures  of  their  own  if  they  didn’t  like  his  suggestions  on  cuts  or  proposed  tax  increases.

Primary  among  those  challenges  is  addressing  the  changing  demographics,  costs  and  outcomes  of  the  state’s  educational  system.  After  a  decade  of  talk-­ ing  about  declining  enrollment  and  beating  around  the  bush  on  the  rising  cost  of  education,  the  governor  put  the  onus  of  rising  cost  where  it  should  be:  the  state’s  low  teacher-­per-­pupil  ratio  and  the  high  cost  of  teacher  salaries  within  the  Vermont  system.  To  reduce  school  costs,  the  governor  suggested,  the  state  must  consolidate  schools  and  reduce  the  number  of  teachers  to  a  teacher-­per-­ pupil  level  that  is  closer  to  the  national  average.

The  facts  are  well  known:  ‡ 6WXGHQW HQUROOPHQW LV GRZQ SHUFHQW VLQFH ZLWK VRPH FRPPXQLWLHV losing  as  much  as  50  percent  of  their  student  population  in  those  two  decades,  with  a  statewide  average  of  4.7  to  1  staff-­to-­student  ratio. ‡ 9HUPRQW KDV WKH ORZHVW FODVV VL]HV LQ WKH FRXQWU\ ZLWK SHUFHQW RI RXU elementary  classrooms  having  between  two  and  nine  students. ‡ 7KH GHPRJUDSKLF WUHQG SRLQWV WR IXUWKHU GHFOLQH LQ WKH VWDWHœV VWXGHQW SRSX-­ lation  for  the  next  several  years. ‡ 0HDQZKLOH SURSHUW\ YDOXHV KDYH VWDJQDWHG LQ PDQ\ DUHDV RI WKH VWDWH DV have  middle-­class  family  incomes.

Noting  that  Vermont  raises  education  taxes  via  several  areas  in  addition  to  the  property  tax,  Shumlin  was  clear  that  the  answer  wasn’t  in  shifting  costs  to  another  method  of  revenue,  but  rather  reducing  overall  spending.  “Vermonters  XQGHUVWDQG WKDW ZH KDYH D VSHQGLQJ SUREOHP DQG ZH KDYH WR Âż[ LW ´ KH WROG WKH Legislature.  “They  expect  better  outcomes  for  our  students  at  lower  costs.  That  VKRXOG EH RXU JRDO ÂŤ %XW OHWÂśV QRW UHWXUQ WR D SUH $FW V\VWHP ZKHUH WKH quality  of  our  kid’s  education  depends  upon  the  wealth  of  the  community  they  KDSSHQ WR OLYH LQ ´ To  accomplish  that  goal,  Shumlin  set  out  seven  proposals,  ranging  from  HGXFDWLQJ FLWL]HQV WR ÂłD PRUDWRULXP RQ QHZ PDQGDWHV IURP 0RQWSHOLHU WKDW DGG FRVWV WR GLVWULFWV ´ WR FXWWLQJ FRQWUDGLFWRU\ LQFHQWLYHV OLNH WKH VPDOO VFKRROV grant  and  phantom  student  provision,  to  capital  incentives  for  those  schools  try-­ LQJ WR ULJKW VL]H WKURXJK D PHUJHU WR D SURSRVDO WR SURKLELW ÂłERWK WHDFKHU VWULNHV DQG ERDUG LPSRVHG FRQWUDFWV ´ %H\RQG WKDW WKH JRYHUQRU SURSRVHG DQ ÂłHQKDQFHG UHYLHZ V\VWHP´ E\ ZKLFK evaluation  teams  would  visit  schools  to  help  them  become  more  cost-­effective  as  well  as  improve  outcomes.  If  schools  didn’t  participate  or  continue  to  SURGXFH SRRU UHVXOWV WKH JRYHUQRU VXJJHVWHG WKH VWDWH ³¿QG ZD\V WR H[HUFLVH DXWKRULW\ WR FORVH VFKRROV ´ Âł, NQRZ P\ SURSRVDOV ZLOO QRW EH ZHOFRPH E\ HYHU\RQH ´ KH VDLG ÂłEXW , KRSH \RX ZLOO ÂŤ UHYLHZ WKHP ZLWK DQ RSHQ PLQG UHDOL]LQJ WKDW HYHQ PRUH GUDVWLF VROXWLRQV PD\ EH GHPDQGHG E\ 9HUPRQWHUV LI ZH IDLO WR DFW ´ That’s  tough  talk  that  touches  on  two  sensitive  issues:  local  control  and  cuts  to  teacher  ranks.  It’s  a  stiff  challenge  to  the  Legislature  to  either  follow  through  with  his  proposals,  or  make  some  equally  bold  measures  that  accomplish  as  much.

But  the  governor  also  talked  about  new  ideas  to  build  a  better  tomorrow  for  students.  He  proposed  a  program  in  which  the  state  would  partner  with  businesses  and  Vermont  Technical  College  to  create  a  free  Associates  Degree  in  Engineering  Technology.  The  program,  Shumlin  said,  is  “a  four  way  win:  Vermont  Tech  increases  enrollment;Íž  our  students  get  degrees;Íž  our  businesses  JHW WKH WUDLQHG HPSOR\HHV WKH\ QHHG DQG RXU \RXQJ SHRSOH VWD\ LQ 9HUPRQW ´ ,W ZDV D JRRG VWDUW RQ WKH GLVFXVVLRQ WKDW ZLOO KRSHIXOO\ VSXU VLJQLÂżFDQW change  from  the  status  quo.

On  the  issue  of  health  care,  the  governor  surprised  many  by  proposing  a  SHUFHQW SD\UROO WD[ WR KHOS UDLVH PLOOLRQ D \HDU RI ZKLFK WKH JRYHUQRU wants  to  use  $55  million  to  supplement  Medicaid  payments,  which  would  put  downward  pressure  on  health  care  premiums  by  reducing  the  cost  shift.  It’s  a  ZHOO FRQVLGHUHG LQLWLDWLYH LQ WKDW LW UDLVHV D VLJQL¿FDQW IHGHUDO PDWFK PLO-­ OLRQ LQ VWDWH WD[HV LQ WKH ¿UVW VL[ PRQWKV RI WKH ¿VFDO \HDU EXGJHW ZLOO UDLVH $44.5  million  in  federal  funding),  but  it’s  controversial  because  it  raises  tax  on  income,  which  many  say  is  taxed  high  enough.  Options  are  available:  the  sugar  tax  is  one,  as  are  other  niche  taxes  that  don’t  whack  a  person’s  income.  But  whatever  revenue  stream  is  chosen,  the  governor’s  bold  proposal  is  in  the  Legislature’s  court  to  either  stand  behind  it  or  come  up  with  one  of  their  own  if  they  are  to  contain  health  care  costs.

The  governor’s  proposal  to  improve  water  quality  in  Lake  Champlain  was  bold  in  its  directive  to  farmers  (threatening  to  use  the  Current  Use  designation  as  a  lever  to  demand  compliance).  Overall,  the  governor  used  the  address  effectively  to  set  an  ambitious  agenda  in  one  of  the  toughest  budget  years  the  state  has  seen  in  a  couple  of  decades.  Now  the  work  begins. —  Angelo  S.  Lynn

Letters to the Editor Solar  is  creating  a  bright  economic  future  in  Vermont A  recent  study  from  the  Solar  Foundation  found  that  Vermont  had  more  solar  jobs  per  capita  in  2013  than  any  other  state.  This  is  particularly  impressive  when  you  consider  how  the  solar  industry  has  thrived  across  the  country,  provid-­ ing  plenty  of  competition.  The  numbers  for  2014  aren’t  in  yet,  but  based  on  what  I’ve  seen  this  year,  Vermont  will  likely  maintain  its  No.  1  spot  in  the  rankings.

Many  of  these  new  jobs  go  to  recent  graduates  of  our  lo-­ cal  schools,  or  maybe  to  those  returning  from  college  elsewhere, Â

excited  to  pursue  a  solar  job  back  at  home.  When  I  graduated  from  Middlebury  College  in  2004,  hav-­ ing  grown  up  in  Addison  County,  this  kind  of  opportunity  was  much  KDUGHU WR ¿QG 6WLOO RWKHU SRVLWLRQV have  been  created  or  expanded  at  existing  companies  in  response  to  new  solar  business  opportunities.

Solar  jobs  are  distributed  more  evenly  around  Vermont  than  jobs  in  other  tech  sectors,  which  tend  to  gravitate  more  heavily  toward  Chittenden  County.  Distributed  generation  is  a  key  principle  in  developing  renewable  energy Â

projects.  Basically  it  means  they  can’t  all  be  clumped  together  in  one  spot.  This  means  that  if  we  support  this  industry,  it  will  continue  to  provide  green  jobs  and  clean  energy  for  every  town  and  gore  across  our  state.

There’s  no  question  about  it:  Solar  is  generating  jobs  in  Vermont,  and  our  future  can  be  bright.

Letters to the Editor Proposed  gun  law  makes  sense It  was  a  privilege  to  be  in  Mont-­ pelier  on  Wednesday,  Jan.  14  among  those  speaking  at  the  press  confer-­ ence  in  support  of  a  new  state  Senate  bill  to  require  universal  background  checks  on  gun  sales  in  Vermont.  This  highly  focused  legislation  will  extend  to  gun  shows  and  online  sales  the  same  background  check  require-­ ments  already  in  place  for  licensed  gun  retailers.

We  cannot  claim  to  be  leaders  in  WKLV ÂżHOG ² VWDWHV DOUHDG\ KDYH VLPLODU UHTXLUHPHQWV ² EXW , ORRN IRUZDUG IRU WKH ÂżUVW WLPH LQ P\ OLIH to  being  able  to  exult,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  No.  17!â&#x20AC;?  The  experience  in  states  with  such  regulations  suggests  that  fewer  Vermont  women  will  be  killed  or  injured  in  domestic  abuse  cases  and  that  fewer  Vermont  guns  will  be  WUDIÂżFNHG WR FULPLQDOV LQ 1HZ <RUN and  Massachusetts  once  this  bill  becomes  law.

Gun  fundamentalists  are  already  trying  to  confuse  the  issues,  imply-­ ing,  for  example,  that  this  proposal  will  lead  to  gun  registration  require-­ ments  and  other  attacks  on  the  Sec-­ ond  Amendment  right  to  bear  arms.  This  bill  will  do  nothing  of  the  sort.

The  gun  fundamentalists  also  ar-­ gue  that  this  bill  should  be  defeated  because  it  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  â&#x20AC;&#x153;solveâ&#x20AC;?  the  gun  vio-­ lence  problem.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  the  point.  Legislation  never  entirely  solves  any  major  problem.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  a  reason  not  to  do  something  that  can  reduce  violence  and  gun  abuse.  Most  gun  owners  get  that,  which  is  why  polls  show  them  overwhelmingly  sup-­ porting  the  bill  whenever  its  limited  scope  is  explained  to  them.

In  closing,  I  want  to  thank  Sen.  Claire  Ayer  for  her  leadership  in  co-­ sponsoring  this  bill.  Gun  fundamen-­ talists  have  never  failed  to  falsely  brand  proposed  regulations,  no  mat-­ ter  how  limited,  as  a  full-­scale  attack  on  gun  rights.  They  then  go  all  out  to  make  legislators  like  Sen.  Ayer  who  do  the  right  thing  pay  for  it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  up  to  us  to  assure  our  represen-­ tatives  that  the  majority  who  want  sensible  gun  regulation  will  no  longer  be  silent.  Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  encourage  Sen.  Chris  Bray  to  join  Sen.  Ayer  in  supporting  this  bill.  Please  call  or  write  both  of  them  and  check  out  opportunities  to  help  at  GunSenseVt.org.

Cornwall  shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  compromise Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  note:  The  following  was  submitted  as  an  open  letter  to  the  Cornwall  selectboard.

First  I  want  to  thank  you  for  the  hundreds  of  hours  of  work  you  have  put  in  trying  to  deal  with  the  proposed  gas  pipeline  issue.  All  of  this  was  imposed  upon  you  by  Vermont  Gas,  who  with  their  limitless  resources  have  used  their  ability  to  deprive  you  of  so  much  of  your  personal  life  to  try  to  wear  you  down  to  acquiescence  to  their  proposed  pipeline.

I  continue  to  share  the  opinion  of  the  majority  of  other  Cornwall  citizens  that  we  must  oppose  the  proposed  gas  pipeline  through  any  portion  of  town  in  its  entirety.  The  town  should  enter  no  agreement  of  understanding  with  Vermont  Gas  no  PDWWHU ZKDW SURPLVHV ¿QDQFLDO DQG otherwise,  that  allows  the  pipeline  to  cross  Cornwall.

We  have  already  seen  their  willing-­ ness  to  alter  the  facts  and  change  their  promises  at  their  will.  Even  if  the  town  were  to  negotiate  a  legally  binding  agreement  dictating  the  terms  and  compensations  to  the  town  for  your  allowing  the  pipeline  to  cross  the  town,  the  agreementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  long-­term  viability  is  questionable.  They  are  a  corporation,  responsible  only  to  their  shareholders.  They  can  go  bankrupt,  be  sold,  petition  the  PSB  for  a  vari-­

ance  on  their  agreement,  or  abandon  the  project  leaving  Cornwall  scarred  with  the  skeleton  of  a  pipeline.

If,  as  I  learned  at  the  mid-­Decem-­ ber  meeting,  there  is  no  power  of  eminent  domain  over  town  property,  why  is  the  Cornwall  selectboard  not  UHPDLQLQJ ¿UP DJDLQVW WKH SLSHOLQH simply  by  refusing  to  permit  it  to  cross  any  town  roads?

I  do  not  feel  you  should  compro-­ mise  on  the  grounds  that  the  PSB  approved  the  Phase  I  pipeline.  The  Phase  II  pipeline  is  unique  among  any  previous  proposals  brought  before  the  PSB.  First  by  the  unproven  technology  of  drilling  under  Lake  Champlain  with  the  inherent  dangers  to  the  health  of  the  lake  either  by  disturbing  the  International  Paper  toxic  sludge  beds,  or  a  gas  leakage.  Second,  the  fact  that  the  proposed  pipelineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  purpose  is  to  serve  an  out-­of-­state  entity,  the  use  of  eminent  domain  in  this  circumstance  is  in  violation  of  state  statute.

Finally,  at  a  time  when  Vermont  Gas  is  proving  itself  so  incompetent  DQG ¿QDQFLDOO\ XQUHOLDEOH LQ WKH FRQ-­ struction  of  Phase  I,  it  is  unwise  and  inappropriate  for  Cornwall  to  grant  agreement  to  Phase  II. Thank  you  for  your  work.

Through  registration  fees  and  donations,  the  boys  raised  more  than  $800. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some  donations  came  from  family  and  friends,  but  others  came  from  people  we  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  any  connections  with  and  just  liked  the  idea,â&#x20AC;?  Monk  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;People  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  just  come  from  Monkton  and  Bris-­ tol,  but  from  all  over  the  state.â&#x20AC;? :LWK WKH KHOS RI WKH QRQSURÂżW Willowell  Foundation  and  the  Ethiopia-­based  Action  For  Youth  and  Community  Change,  which  Monk  said  were  a  huge  help,  the  boys  sent  the  money  they  raised  to  Africa  later  in  the  summer.

Monk  said  the  money  was  enough  for  the  school  to  hire  six  ODERUHUV WR Âż[ WKH ZHOO DQG DGG spigots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now  the  kids  can  drink  clean  water  there,  where  normally  they  had  no  water  to  go  to  the  bathroom,  to  drink,  nothing,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

Throughout  the  process,  Stacey  Carter  facilitated  communication  between  the  school  and  the  boys.  On  New  Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Eve,  they  received  an  email  from  the  school  with  pho-­ tographs  of  the  new  well,  thanking  them  for  helping  each  of  the  250  students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  would  like  to  thank  you  and  want  to  say  how  much  your  sup-­ port  made  an  enormous  difference  to  these  childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  lives,â&#x20AC;?  the  let-­ ter  reads.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  these  funds  that  created  the  base  and  encourage-­ ment  to  get  a  solution  for  such  a  big  problem  at  the  school.â&#x20AC;?

Monk  said  the  access  to  clean  water  allows  more  students  to  at-­ tend  the  school,  since  parents  were  wary  of  sending  their  children  to  a  facility  without  potable  water.

He  added  that  the  project  sparked  discussions  among  his  classmates  at  the  Red  Cedar  School  in  Bris-­ tol  about  how  their  experience  in  education  differs  from  students  in  Ethiopia.  He  learned  a  lot  as  well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  had  no  clue  that  we  here  can  have  such  clean  water,  and  some  kids  have  none,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  taught  me  that  some  people  have  so  little,  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hard  to  think  about  that.â&#x20AC;?

If  given  the  opportunity  to  visit  Ethiopia  in  the  future,  Monk  said  KH ZRXOG GHÂżQLWHO\ JR â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  it  would  be  interesting  to  see  what  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  like,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

The  well  at  Negat  Kokeb  may  be  repaired,  but  the  boys  are  already  looking  forward  to  their  next  proj-­ ect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  planning  to  try  to  do  more  for  that  school,  or  maybe  even  another  school  in  that  com-­ munity,â&#x20AC;?  Monk  said.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  started  a  website,  www. joyfultogether.org,  to  raise  aware-­ ness  about  their  work.  Monk  ex-­

School  district  settles  with  Cyr  for  $147,500 By  VTDigger.com FAIR  HAVEN  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  A  Benson  par-­ ent  who  was  barred  from  attend-­ ing  school  board  meetings  has  re-­ ceived  a  $147,500  settlement  from  the  Addison-­Rutland  Supervisory  Union.  The  ARSU  encompasses  the  towns  of  Orwell,  Benson,  West  Haven,  Fair  Haven,  Castleton  and  Hubbardton.

Marcel  Cyr,  who  with  his  wife,  Valerie  Cyr,  had  been  critical  of  the  quality  of  the  education  his  child  received  at  Benson  Village  School, Â

was  issued  a  no-­trespass  order  and  told  that  he  could  be  arrested  if  he  came  onto  district  property.

A  federal  court  in  September  ruled  that  the  district  violated  Cyrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  rights  by  barring  his  participation  in  board  meetings  without  explana-­ tion  and  without  recourse.

The  settlement  was  reached  through  mediation,  according  to  a  news  release  from  the  Vermont  chapter  of  the  American  Civil  Liberties  Union,  which  helped  to  represent  Cyr  in  the  case.  The  Ver-­

mont  ACLU  contended  that  the  boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ban  infringed  upon  Cyrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  due  process  and  free  speech  rights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  message  to  government  agencies  is  simple:  You  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  treat  the  interested  public  like  trespass-­ ers,â&#x20AC;?  ACLU  of  Vermont  Executive  Director  Allen  Gilbert  said  in  a  news  release  last  week.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  fed-­ eral  court  has  ruled  that  doing  so  violates  the  constitution,  and  now,  the  supervisory  union  has  paid  for  infringing  on  a  concerned  parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  rights.â&#x20AC;?

PANTHER  FRESHMAN  JESSICA  YOUNG  camps  out  in  front  of  the  Amherst  goal  Saturday  afternoon  in  Chip  Kenyon  Arena.  Young  scored  with  95  seconds  left  in  regulation  to  tie  the  game.  Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell

Panther  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hockey  pulls  out  two  ties By  ANDY  KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Yes,  agreed  Middlebury  College  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hock-­ ey  coach  Bill  Mandigo  on  Saturday  after  his  team  rallied  for  the  second  time  in  two  days  to  tie  visiting  NES-­ CAC  foe  Amherst,  1-­1,  half  a  loaf  is  better  than  none.

That  result  followed  Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  2-­2  stalemate  against  the  10-­1-­3  Jeffs.  The  8-­2-­3  Panthers  are  ranked  No.  4  in  NCAA  Division  III,  while  Am-­ herst  skated  into  Chip  Kenyon  Are-­ na  ranked  No.  10.

The  Jeffs  also  entered  and  left  with  a  one-­game  lead  over  the  Panthers  in  the  NESCAC  standings:  Amherst  is  now  6-­0-­2,  while  Middlebury  is  5-­1-­ 2  in  league  play  with  two  games  at  third-­place  Bowdoin  (8-­3-­3,  4-­1-­1  NESCAC)  on  tap  this  coming  week-­ end.

So,  yes,  Mandigo  said  on  Satur-­ day,  the  ties  were  better  than  one  alternative,  but  the  Panthers  missed  D FKDQFH WR WDNH RYHU ÂżUVW SODFH RQ their  own  rink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  sure  they  (the  Jeffs)  are  happy  going  home,  because  things  havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  FKDQJHG ,WÂśV D ÂżUVW SODFH JDPH DQG we  were  playing  at  home,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going  on  the  road  and  getting  two  ties  is  a  lot  different  than  playing  at Â

home  and  getting  two  ties.â&#x20AC;?

Mandigo  was  also  not  pleased  with  an  effort  he  said  was  incon-­ sistent.  Certainly,  the  Panthers  ap-­ peared  to  carry  more  of  the  play  on  Saturday;Íž  they  outshot  the  Jeffs,  28-­22.  Their  forechecking  was  often  effective,  but  the  Panthers  were  un-­ able  to  convert  loose  pucks  and  re-­ bounds  into  goals,  sometimes  due  to Â

unlucky  bounces.  But  Mandigo  said  his  forwards  are  not  doing  enough  to  create  their  own  luck.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  got  to  make  the  bounces.  When  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  working  harder,  you  get  the  bounces,â&#x20AC;?  Man-­ digo  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  need  to  work  hard  and  accomplish.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  always  one  kid  reached,  or  somebody  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  quite  get  there,  or  somebody  makes  the Â

Mandigo  did  praise  the  work  of  goalies  Annabelle  Jones  and  Mad-­ eleine  Marsh,  and  said  his  defense  has  been  solid  in  its  own  zone  and  improving  in  clearing  the  zone.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively,  we  do  a  pretty  good  MRE RI SURWHFWLQJ LW DQG JHWWLQJ LW RXW But  at  the  same  time  we  have  to  do  it  at  the  other  end,  too,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Humane Society Bam  is  a  10  year  old  Hound  who  loves  to  play  outside  and  go  for  walks!  He  spent  most  of  his  life  outside  as  he  was  a  hunting  dog,  but  is  now  retired  and  housebroken.  He  gets  along  well  with  other  dogs;  he  came  in  with  his  companion  Diesel,  and  loves  to  play  outside  with  him.  Bam  would  do  best  in  a  home  with  no  cats  or  other  small  animals  since  he  has  a  high  prey  drive.

Meet  Fluffy!  He  is  an  adorable  6  month  ROG PDOH 'ZDUI UDEELW ZKR LV UHDG\ WR ¿ QG his  forever  home!  He  came  to  Homeward  Bound  in  December  after  being  surrendered  by  his  owner.  He  came  in  with  his  sibling,  Cutie,  and  gets  along  great  with  other  rabbits.  He  is  very  sweet  and  gentle  and  will  even  let  you  pick  him  up  and  hold  him!  Come  meet  him  today  to  see  how  adorable  he  is!

Bridgette  came  to  the  shelter  as  a  stray  DQG ORQJV WR ¿ QG D IRUHYHU KRPH ZKHUH she  will  receive  lots  of  love  and  attention.  Here  at  the  shelter,  Bridgette  enjoys  the  company  of  other  cats  and  is  always  ready  to  greet  visitors.  So  come  and  say  hello  to  this  young,  friendly  girl!

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Joe!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  at  the  end  of  December  after  my  owner  passed  away.  I  was  very  sad  about  this  but  have  made  a  lot  of  new  friends  since  I  have  been  here!

I  get  along  with  other  cats,  dogs,  and  children.  With  my  older  age  I  tend  to  forget  to  groom  myself,  so  would  need  some  daily  grooming  in  my  new  home  to  keep  me  looking  extra  handsome.

Hi  there!  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Mavis!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  at  the  end  of  September  because  my  owner  had  too  many  cats  and  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  care  for  us  all.  I  have  been  doing  great  with  the  other  cats  here  and  love  to  play!  I  love  chasing  around  the  toy  mice  and  jingle  balls.  I  also  love  being  able  to  talk  and  tell  stories!  I  can  be  very  vocal,  especially  when  I  want  some  attention. Â

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Pippin!  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  a  young,  beautiful  tri-­ color  tiger  who  is  full  of  love!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  on  December  18th  after  being  found  as  a  stray.  Since  being  here,  I  have  become  very  VRFLDO , FDQ VWLOO EH OLWWOH VK\ ZKHQ , Âż UVW meet  new  people,  but  have  opened  up  a  lot.  I  love  being  pet  and  snuggled  with;  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  roll  over  on  my  back  to  get  a  good  belly  rub!

Feral cats are wild animals (MS)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Feral  cats  and  stray  cats  are  not  one  and  the  same.  Feral  cats  are  those  born  and  raised  in  the  wild,  or  those  cats  that  have  been  abandoned  or  lost  and  turned  to  a  feral  lifestyle  in  order  to  survive.  Feral  cats  are  often  too  wild  to  be  handled,  and  many  live  in  groups  known  as  colonies,  taking  refuge  wherever  WKH\ FDQ Âż QG IRRG While  this  may  sound  simi-­ lar  to  stray  cats,  pet  adoption  professionals  make  a  distinction  between  feral  and  stray  cats.  Unlike  feral  cats,  the  ASPCA  GHÂż QHV VWUD\ FDWV DV WKRVH WKDW have  been  abandoned  or  become  lost,  tend  to  be  tame  and  can  be  comfortable  around  people.  Such  cats  may  purr,  meow  and  rub  against  legs  of  humans  who  come Â

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Blair, Bond and Booker

into  contact  with  them.  Stray  cats  often  rely  on  humans  for  food,  whereas  colonies  of  feral  cats  will  typically  feed  on  garbage,  rodents  and  other  small  animals.

The  life  expectancy  of  a  stray  cat  depends  on  when  it  was  lost  or  abandoned  and  how  effective  LW LV DW ¿ QGLQJ D UHOLDEOH IRRG source,  while  many  feral  cats  do  not  survive  kittenhood.  The  average  lifespan  for  those  feral  cats  that  do  is  less  than  two  years  outside  of  a  colony  but  can  be  as  long  as  10  years  when  living  in  a  colony  with  an  established  care-­ taker.  Such  caretakers  may  be  an  individual  or  a  group  of  individu-­ als  who  provide  feral  cats  with  their  basic  needs,  such  as  food,  shelter  and  even  emergency  medical  care.

Think of Agway when you think of your pets!

These are older cats that were adopted from Homeward Bound. Blair is the big black cat and the apple of our eye!

He picked us to be his forever family. My daughter Avalon and I went to visit two years ago in March 2013 and he went home with us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave him there another night!

The family thought Blair need a cat friend so we adopted these two one-year-old babies in September 2014. Bond has a lot of white on him and also has seven toes on his feet; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very unique. And Booker is the most loving and gentle cat you can imagine. As you see all three are best friends and they love their forever family!

The  more  he  thought  about  it,  the  more  he  believed  another  year  would  allow  him  to  help  bring  to  fruition  a  couple  of  big  items  on  the  boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  agenda.  Among  them  are  the  aforementioned  new  town  RIÂżFHV DQG UHFUHDWLRQ IDFLOLW\ both  slated  to  be  built  starting  this  spring.  Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  also  the  scheduled  replacement  of  Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  two  downtown  rail  overpasses,  a  proj-­ ect  that  was  also  to  start  this  spring.  But  that  work  has  been  delayed  until  next  year  in  light  of  a  recent  review  of  the  plans  that  suggests  the  job  might  cost  as  much  as  triple  the  $18  million  originally  forecast.  George  would  like  to  help  the  town  get  a  handle  on  that  project.
