The  Salisbury  school  is  one  of  17  schools  throughout  the  state  currently  participating  in  VEEP’s  energy  challenge,  which  has  some  lofty  goals,  Clapp  noted.  Among  them  is  to  reduce  each  school’s  energy  use  and  associated  costs  by  at  least  10  percent.

While  the  goals  are  lofty,  the  message  of  the  challenge  is  pretty  basic,  according  to  Clapp:  “Become  more  aware  of  our  energy  use  as  a  school,  and  do  things  that  we  can  do  to  help  reduce  it.�

Clapp  asked  her  5th-­grade  class  for  some  Green  Team  volunteers  last  fall,  and  she  got  six:  Kenene  Otis,  Hannah  Cameron,  Reese  Fitzgerald,  Hailey  Clark,  Wyleigh  7+( ³.,// $ :DWW´ LV D GHYLFH Austin  and  Alanna  Trudeau.  All  of  the  Salisbury  Community  School  them  agreed  to  take  on  the  tasks  of  Green  Team  students  use  to  mea-­ meeting  at  least  once  per  month  sure  how  much  electricity  a  piece  and  regularly  recording  energy  of  school  equipment  might  be  use  within  the  school.  Based  on  drawing  even  when  it  is  not  in  use.

the  classroom  within  a  20-­minute  span,  the  lights  will  shut  off.  But  Clapp  and  her  students  noted  that  the  lights  can  kick  on  at  night  as  a  result  of  any  kind  of  motion  within  the  unoccupied  room  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  such  as  WKH KHDWLQJ V\VWHP FDXVLQJ D Ă&#x20AC;DJ WR wave.  The  Green  Team  has  brought  that  fact  to  the  attention  of  school  RIÂżFLDOV When 6DOLVEXU\ ODQGÂżOO RIÂżFLDOV reported  that  some  garbage  was  ¿QGLQJ LWV ZD\ LQWR WKH VFKRROÂśV recycling  content,  the  Green  Team  did  some  research  on  the  rules  and  spelled  out  through  posters  what  items  can  and  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  recycled.

Salisbury  teachers  this  winter  have  been  trying  to  reduce  their  classroom  temperatures  by  1  degree,  in  order  to  conserve  power.  The  school  is  able  to  follow,  through  its  power  and  fuel  bills,  the  extent  to  which  its  conservation  efforts  have  made  a  difference.  Which  leads  to  WKLV EDIĂ&#x20AC;LQJ ÂżQGLQJ (QHUJ\ XVH DW the  Salisbury  Community  School  actually  increased  between  the  Thanksgivings  of  2013  and  2014,  in  spite  of  all  the  conservation  efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  just  this  Green  Team  of  students  scratching  their  heads, Â

The  proposed  tax  on  sugary  beverages  hits  a  sweet  spot As  the  Legislature  and  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  search  for  the  right  combination  of  increased  revenue  and  cuts  in  programs  to  make  up  a  $118  million  gap  in  the  2016  budget,  a  tax  on  sugar-­sweetened  beverages  should  be  part  of  the  conversation.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  because  the  proposed  tax  could  net  $34  million  a  year;Íž  because  excessive  sugar  consumption  is  one  of  the  causes  of  heart  disease,  diabetes,  cancer  and  obesity,  a  disease  that  currently  affects  two  out  of  three  adults  and  one  out  of  three  children  and  costs  Vermont  $202  million  annually;Íž  and  because  individuals  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  always  eat  what  is  best  for  them.  For  example,  the  average  American  consumes  45  gallons  of  sugary  drinks  each  year,  and  LQJHVWV WR ÂżYH SRXQG EDJV RI VXJDU DQQXDOO\ 7KDW EHFRPHV D VHULRXV KHDOWK LVVXH WKDW FDQ EH DGGUHVVHG WKURXJK WD[DWLRQ QRW MXVW LQ EHKDYLRU EXW also  through  increased  education.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  partly  why  a  coalition  of  30  health  and  consumer  groups  is  now  supporting  the  tax  on  sweetened  drinks  as  one  way  to  meet  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  2016  budget  shortfall.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  proposal  that  hits  a  sweet  spot  by  raising  needed  revenue  and  promoting  better  health.  Hopefully,  it  will  continue  to  gain  political  momentum.  The  arguments  against  the  tax  fall  short.  Senate  President  John  Campbell  is  against  the  tax  because  he  says  it  will  increase  the  cost  of  living  for  working  families,  and  that  taxation  is  not  the  way  to  encourage  healthier  behavior.  Jim  Harrison,  director  of  the  Vermont  Retail  and  Grocers  Association,  echoes  Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sentiment  that  taxes  should  not  be  imposed  to  control  behavior  and  adds  that  a  proposed  tax  of  2  cents  per  ounce  would  particularly  hurt  retail  grocers  along  the  border  with  New  Hampshire.  ³7KLV LV KXJH ´ KH WROG 935 ODVW ZHHN Âł0DNH D OLWHU ERWWOH KDYH D $1.30  additional  tax?  â&#x20AC;ŚWe  can  all  agree  on  what  food  is  best  for  you,  but  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  for  us  as  consumers  to  make  those  decisions,  not  for  somebody  in  0RQWSHOLHU ÂŤ WKDWÂśV FRPLQJ IURP WKH WRS GRZQ ´ Nonsense.  Of  course  we  use  taxation  to  modify  behavior.  Some  of  the  heaviest  excise  taxes  in  our  society  are  placed  on  those  very  things  that  are  unhealthy  for  us  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  cigarettes  and  alcohol,  for  example  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  or  items,  like  gasoline,  that  cause  harm  to  the  environment  and  that  we  aim  to  conserve  or  limit  usage  of.  Those  principles  are  at  the  heart  of  taxation.  And  of  course  those  policies  come  from  the  top  down.  Does  anyone  seriously  think  taxation  comes  from  the  bottom  up?  No.  Rather,  the  use  of  WKH SKUDVH ÂłIURP WKH WRS GRZQ´ LV SROLWLFDO VSHDN PHDQW WR HOLFLW D YLVFHUDO UHVSRQVH DJDLQVW ÂłELJ´ JRYHUQPHQW The  most  legitimate  question  opponents  have  is  questioning  the  harm  the  tax  would  cause  retail  grocers  along  the  eastern  border  of  the  state  and  if  that  harm  is  enough  to  discourage  interest  in  the  tax.  :H WKLQN QRW $ OLWHU DIWHU DOO LV RXQFHV DOPRVW WKUHH WLPHV WKH W\SLFDO RXQFH GULQN VR LWÂśV RQO\ D FHQW WD[ RQ D W\SLFDO VRGD SULFHG at  a  buck  or  more.  If  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  buying  a  six-­pack  of  soda,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  $1.44.  Sure  it  adds  up,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hardly  enough  to  make  a  shopper  drive  15-­miles  across  the  ERUGHU DQG EDFN WR VDYH D IHZ QLFNHOV PLQXV WKH JDV DQG H[WUD WLPH VSHQW

But  it  might  be  enough  to  make  a  mother  or  father  doubt  the  wisdom  of  buying  sweetened  drinks  by  the  case.

We  also  agree  with  the  governor  and  other  opponents  of  the  tax  that  education  should  be  the  biggest  part  of  the  equation  to  get  Vermonters  to  reduce  their  sugar  consumption,  but  that  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mean  a  tax  on  sugary  beverages  shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  implemented.  On  the  contrary,  devote  a  portion  of  the  tax  toward  education  and  the  rest  to  help  reduce  the  $118  million  budget  VKRUWIDOO $QG LI WKH PRQH\ IRU HGXFDWLQJ 9HUPRQWHUV RQ WKH VLQV RI WRR much  sugar  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  come  from  this  tax,  where  else  would  it  come  from  RU ZRXOG VXFK HGXFDWLRQ MXVW QRW KDSSHQ" 7KH VLPSOH IDFW LV WKDW WKH WD[ would  not  only  raise  needed  revenue,  but  would  also  reduce  health  care  costs  associated  with  heart  disease,  diabetes,  cancer  and  obesity.  Or  perhaps  opponents  prefer  a  higher  tax  on  income,  or  more  cuts  to  programs  that  would  create  a  greater  hardship  for  working-­class  families.

Spotlight on Vergennes City  plan  (Continued  from  Page  14) Parks  and  Recreation  Department  head  Terri  Arnold  to  learn  more  about  how  Middlebury  operates;͞  Benton  said  that  meeting  was  help-­ ful.

The  goal  for  the  study  commit-­ tee  will  be  to  present  its  work  to  the  city  council  by  May,  when  aldermen  are  beginning  work  on  the  next  city  budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  never  really  had  much  in  the  way  of  programming.  In  terms  of  that,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  really  going  to  have  to  talk  to  the  public  and  look  at  the  dol-­ lars  and  cents,â&#x20AC;?  Benton  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  there  may  be  recommendations,  and  if  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  strong  support  we  might  take  it  to  the  council  and  move  for-­ ward  somehow.  If  there  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,  then  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  really  a  matter  of,  we  have  these Â

parks,  what  can  we  do  to  make  them  better?â&#x20AC;?

LAND  DEAL? Aldermen  also  on  Jan.  13  dis-­ cussed  a  land  purchase  that  would  cement  city  ownership  of  all  Otter  Creek  frontage  between  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  MacDonough  Drive  docks  and  the  stairway  that  leads  down  from  Main  Street  to  the  northwest  side  of  the  river.  Benton  and  his  sister  Betsey  Ben-­ ton  own  the  600  feet  of  frontage  between  the  stairwell  and  Potash  Brook,  near  the  MacDonough  Drive  pump  station.  Since  2010,  they  have  rented  the  land  to  Vergennes  for  $1  a  year  on  a  lease  that  automatically  renews.  But  Benton  said  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Otter  Creek  task  force  formed  in  2014 Â

discovered  the  city  could  not  obtain  grants  to  improve  the  river  frontage  without  owning  the  land.  At  that  point,  members  of  the  task  force  approached  Benton,  who  spoke  to  his  sister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  said  we  could  very  easily  and  quickly  sell  the  land  down  by  the  docks.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  willing  to  talk,â&#x20AC;?  he  said,  adding,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  have  to  sell  it  for  something,  but  if  it  is  a  fair  num-­ ber,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  be  happy  to  do  it.â&#x20AC;?

Last  week,  aldermen  discussed  a  potential  deal  in  an  executive  ses-­ sion.  Hawley  said  no  decision  or  motions  were  made  after  the  closed-­ door  session,  but  that  the  topic  â&#x20AC;&#x153;will  be  an  agenda  item  for  the  next  meet-­ ing.â&#x20AC;?

Eagle  coach  Connie  LaRose  cred-­ ited  the  defensive  effort  of  the  3-­10  Commodores,  who  were  shorthanded  due  to  a  knee  injury  to  junior  forward  Natalie  Salley  and  the  one-­day  medi-­ cal  absence  of  junior  guard/forward  Brianna  Gebo.

She  said  the  Eagles  executed  better  offensively  and  increased  their  effort  defensively  after  the  break.

Coach  Billy  Waller  noted  his  teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  good  defense,  singling  out  se-­ nior  forward  Paige  Coyle,  junior  for-­ ward  Sara  Stearns,  junior  guard  Sarah  Poirier-­Thayer  and  sophomore  guard  Caroline  Johnston.  Waller  also  pointed  to  the  Commo-­ GRUHVÂś ÂżUVW KDOI UHERXQGLQJ DJDLQVW the  taller  Eagles:  They  held  a  19-­16  edge  at  the  break,  including  team  rebounds,  before  the  Eagles  took  charge  in  the  second  half,  19-­10.  Ju-­ nior  center  Nikki  Salley  (team  highs  of  seven  points  and  seven  rebounds)  led  VUHS  on  the  boards.

 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  thought  the  key,  before  the  game  started,  was  being  able  to  re-­ bound.  Early  in  the  game,  our  boxing  out  was  good,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  the  sec-­ ond  half  the  tables  were  turned.â&#x20AC;?

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Humane Society Blossom  is  a  Holland  Lop  who  is  about  a  year  old.  She  came  to  Homeward  Bound  after  being  surrendered  by  her  owner.  She  felt  Blossom  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  getting  the  attention  that  she  deserved  and  felt  sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  be  better  off  in  another  home.

She  has  been  handled  and  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mind  being  picked  up  or  held  but  only  for  short  periods  of  time.  She  also  loves  having  toys  with  her;  anything  to  chew  on  and  keep  her  busy!

Cutie  is  a  6  month  old  Dwarf  rabbit  ZKR LV HDJHU WR ÂżQG KHU IRUHYHU KRPH She  came  to  Homeward  Bound  with  her  brother,  Fluffy,  in  the  beginning  of  January  after  being  surrendered  by  their  owner.  While  Cutie  is  a  little  less  outgoing  than  Fluffy,  she  is  still  very  sweet.  Like  her  brother,  she  is  easy  to  handle  and  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mind  getting  picked  up  or  being  held;  you  just  have  to  go  slow  with  her.

Jerky  treats  could  be  harmful  to  your  pets By  M.  KATHLEEN  SHAW,  DVM  Earlier  this  month,  a  major  pet  store  chain  announced  it  will  no  longer  be  selling  any  jerky  treats  made  in  China,  effective  in  March.  This  is  follow-­ ing  reports  to  the  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (FDA)  from  owners  who  reported  at  least  5,600  dogs  becoming  ill  and  more  than  1,000  dog  PROFESSIONAL DOG GROOMING OVER 16 YEARS EXPERIENCE

Diesel  is  a  3-­year-­old  Hound  who  came  to  Homeward  Bound  after  being  surrendered  by  his  owner.  We  were  told  that  he  was  used  as  a  hunting  dog,  but  he  is  housetrained  and  has  shown  no  signs  of  a  prey  drive  toward  small  animals.  He  can  be  unsure  of  new  people  and  surroundings,  but  once  he  gets  to  know  you,  is  outgoing  and  social.  He  lets  his  inner  puppy  out,  throwing  toys  around  and  giving  kisses!

This  is  not  a  new  concern.  Since  2007,  the  FDA  has  been  receiving Â

Tip  of  the  Week

Lately  cars  have  been  ice  cold  in  the  mornings  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  good  trick  to  get  them  to  start  at  all!  +RZHYHU ZKHQ \RX Âż UVW FRPH home  or  park  to  run  an  errand,  your  car  can  be  seen  by  outdoor  cats  as  a  nice,  warm  protected  shelter.  So,  if  your  car  has  only  been  parked  a  short  while  before  you  get  back  in,  please  take  the  extra  time  to  rap  on  the  engine  hood  and  otherwise  alert  any  furry  feline  that  nap  time  is  over  and  you  are  about  to  start  the  car.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  easy  way  to  save  a  life!

complaints  of  illness  in  pets  after  consuming  the  jerky  treats.  While  no  VSHFL¿ F EUDQG KDV EHHQ QDPHG DOO complaints  have  centered  on  chicken,  beef,  or  sweet  potato  jerky  treats  obtained  from  China.  Lab  investiga-­ tions  with  more  than  1,200  samples  have  ruled  out  heavy  metals,  myco-­ toxins,  Salmonella,  antibiotics,  pesti-­ cides  and  a  variety  of  other  normally  problematic  substances.  Melamine,  the  toxic  chemical  involved  in  the  2007  massive  pet  food  recall,  has  been  ruled  out  as  a  cause  of  these  illnesses.

Symptoms  of  illness  from  the  jerky  treats  include  vomiting,  diarrhea  and  lethargy.  Increased  water  consump-­ tion  and  increased  urination  are  also  noted  in  many  cases.  It  is  important  to  remember  that  these  symptoms  can  arise  with  a  great  many  medical  conditions,  so  even  if  your  pet  has  not  consumed  a  jerky  treat,  but  is  exhibit-­ ing  any  of  these  symptoms,  you  should  contact  your  veterinarian  for  advice  and  treatment.  They  are  your  best  source  for  factual  information  and  are  well  equipped  to  help  make  sure  that  your  pets  will  receive  the  highest  level  of  medical  care.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Raisin!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  after  being  surrendered  by  my  owner.  I  was  brought  in  because  I  was  having  trouble  using  the  litter  box.  Since  being  at  the  shelter  though,  I  havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  had  any  problems  using  my  box.

I  would  prefer  to  be  the  only  animal  in  my  new  home.  I  do  great  with  children  and  would  love  to  have  someone  to  play  with  me!  I  am  also  very  affectionate  and  love  to  snuggle.

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abe Union High School Otter Valley Union High School is proud to name Adam Sherwin as its Student of the Week. Adam lives in Brandon with his parents, Jim and Kathy Sherwin. He has three older siblings: Brendan Sherwin, Rick Poro and Jamee Sherwin.

Adam has frequently been on the honor roll. He has taken or is taking A.P. Literature and A.P. Calculus. This year he completed an online psychology course through Vermont Virtual Learning Cooperative. He is also enrolled in an External Learning Opportunity (ELO).

Adam has been wrestling and playing football and lacrosse for many years. At OV, he wrestled in grades 10 and 11, serving as captain both years. He has been captain of the lacrosse team since sophomore year and was captain of the football team this year. Also this year, he played in the annual North v.

He has also volunteered at his church. ,Q KLV VSDUH WLPH $GDP HQMR\V ZRUNLQJ RXW DQG WU\LQJ WR LPSURYH KLV Ă&#x20AC; WQHVV DQG VWUHQJWK DQG HQFRXUDJLQJ RWKHUV WR GR WKH VDPH +H HQMR\V KXQWLQJ Ă&#x20AC; VKLQJ KLNLQJ DQG FDPSLQJ %XW KLV IDYRULWH WKLQJ WR GR LV VSHQG WLPH ZLWK IDPLO\ Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice to other students is to set goals and be committed until those goals are reached.

Adam has applied to and been accepted at several colleges. His top choices are Minot University, Plymouth State and Western New England. He plans on majoring in physical education/coaching or athletic training. He hopes to be able to play college football as well.

Social studies teacher and football coach Mr. Hall says of Adam, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a pleasure to see him grow into a responsible, mature, and enjoyable young man. He represents our school and our football team in the best possible way.â&#x20AC;?

Otter Valley is lucky to have a student like Adam Sherwin, and we know he will bring great things to whatever college he attends.

Otter Valley Union High School has the honor of naming Cullen Jemison as its Student of the Week. Cullen lives in Starksboro with his parents, Jill and Chris Jemison, and his younger brother, who is in eighth grade.

Cullen has been involved in the Personalized Learning Program throughout high school. He has gone to and given presentations all over the state. He has taken a few college programming classes, as well as AP Physics B, AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Biology, AP English and AP Computer Science. $W 0RXQW $EH &XOOHQ KDV UXQ FURVV FRXQWU\ DQG WUDFN DQG Ă&#x20AC; HOG DOO four years.

He has been employed in the UVM College of Medicine IT department for four years during the summers.

During the winter, he skis on a regular basis. He enjoys playing the saxophone for both school and recreational purposes.

Cullen  Jemison When asked what he has learned from high school, Cullen said, M.A.U.H.S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter how much you dislike a course or its work, just do it. The alternative is never good.â&#x20AC;?

After high school, Cullen plans to attend at least a four-year college, and maybe pursue a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree. He has been accepted to, and would like to attend, Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Alan Kamman had this to say: Cullen is intelligent, inquisitive and clever. He is soft-spoken and even-tempered. Cullenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind is always at work. He enjoys project-based learning and seeks these opportunities as often as he can. When asked about his greatest strength, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My ability to think in a logical and mathematical way, but also in an abstract and creative way at the same time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cullen demonstrates the perseverance necessary to follow any problem or project through to completion. He is an independent thinker with much to offer others.â&#x20AC;?

All at Mount Abe wish Cullen the best in his future.

Otter Valley Students of the week receive a gift certificate from the Book & Leaf Bookstore. Mt. Abe Students of the Week receive a free pizza from Cubbers. Students of the Week from ALL area high schools will receive a gift certificate from Vermont Book shop.
