No  easy  solution  for  Iraq,  but  putting  more  boots  on the  ground  is  not  the  answer Much  of  northwestern  Iraq  is  now  under  ISIS  control.  Shia  Iraq  is  losing  its  war  with  Sunni  ISIS.  Hawkish  American  conservatives  and  neocons  demand  that  we  re-­invade  that  country  and  solve  its  prob-­ lems.  Others  less  bellicose  tell  us  that  we  must  increase  our  military  presence  there  to  the  tune  of  about  1,000  troops,  concentrating  on  advising  the  Iraqis  on  how  to  beat  ISIS.  Moderates  generally  are  not  eager  to  see  any  U.S.  military  involvement  in  the  region,  preferring  to  let  the  antagonists  work  out  their  own  problems.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Iraq  was  the  creation  of  colonial  British  occupation  in  the  period  1918-­1958,  when  they  captured  and  then  governed  that  re-­ gion.  For  over  600  years,  Iraq  has  been  a  part  of  some  other  state,  so  the  agglomeration  of  Shia,  Sunni  and  Kurds  into  one  state  was  new  to  the  region.  It  was  a  purely  British  decision  and  was  made  solely  IRU WKH DGYDQWDJH DQG SURÂżW RI WKDW QDWLRQ ,W KDG QRWKLQJ WR GR ZLWK WKH GLIÂżFXOW QDWLRQDO VHFWDULDQ DQG WULEDO UHDOLWLHV WKDW KDYH DOZD\V existed  in  the  region.

After  more  than  a  decade  of  the  2003  American  invasion  and  occu-­ pation  of  the  so-­called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;state  of  Iraq,â&#x20AC;?  there  are  few  sentient  Ameri-­ cans  who  are  not  aware  of  the  deep-­seated,  historical  animosities  that  exist  between  Shia,  Sunni  and  Kurd.  Modern  Iraq  has  existed  as  a  XQLÂżHG SROLWLFDO HQWLW\ RQO\ XQGHU UHSUHVVLYH JRYHUQDQFH 2QFH ZH removed  Saddam  Hussein,  the  genie  was  out  of  the  bottle.  Since  that  moment  in  2003,  the  inevitable,  unimpeded  slide  of  Iraq  LQWR FLYLO FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW KDV UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWHG WKH QDWLRQDO VHFWDULDQ DQG WULEDO IRUFHV LQ FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW LQ WKDW ÂłFRXQWU\ ´ ,W LV GLIÂżFXOW WR WKLQN RI ,UDT DV D PRGHUQ VWDWH ,W LV PRUH OLNH WKUHH VWDWHV LQ SHUSHWXDO FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW Historical  reality  started  to  rule  Iraq  immediately  after  our  inva-­ sion.  The  Sunnis,  from  whom  the  ruling,  pre-­invasion  Baath  Party  had  sprung,  were  stunned  to  learn  and  refused  to  believe  that  they  were  not  the  majority  and  not  in  charge.  With  U.S.  backing,  the  Shia,  who  had  always  been  the  numerical  majority,  were  delighted  to  take  over  and  even  things  up  with  the  Sunnis  who  had  repressed  them  for  so  long.  The  Kurds,  the  largest  national  grouping  in  the  world  with-­ out  a  country,  decided  it  was  time  that  they  governed  themselves  and  have  been  quietly  doing  so  ever  since.

In  May  2003,  the  Bush  administration  implemented  a  program  of  GH %DDWKL¿FDWLRQ GXULQJ ZKLFK WKH\ VWULSSHG WKH ,UDTL DUP\ RI PRVW RI LWV 6XQQL OHDGHUVKLS WXUQLQJ LW LQWR D 6KLD GRPLQDWHG RUJDQL]D-­ tion.  This  was  one  of  the  major  causes  of  the  Sunni-­led  insurgency  that  was  conducted  against  the  American  military  and  the  Shia  Iraqi  government  after  2003.  Ultimately,  it  has  provided  many  of  the  Iraqi  Sunni  members  of  ISIS. Americans,  including  the  Obama  administration,  who  now  search  for  further  and  deeper  involvement  in  Iraq  are  now  seeking  a  way  for  us  to  overcome  the  odds  and  wrest  from  hostile  control  that  part  of  Iraq  lost  to  ISIS.  The  consensus  within  our  government  is  that  we  will  have  to  work  through  the  Shia  government  of  Iraq  to  accomplish  our  goals  there.

The  problems  here  are  endless.  Much  of  ISIS  is  made  up  of  the  Iraqi  Sunnis  who  lost  their  â&#x20AC;&#x153;coun-­ tryâ&#x20AC;?  to  the  Shia  after  2003.  Their  hatred  of  the  Shia  is  historical,  deep  and  recently  exacerbated.  The  jihadi  volunteers  they  are  welcoming  from  elsewhere  in  the  Islamic  world  and  from  the  West  are  all  Sunnis.  The  Shia  Iraqi  government  has  two  choices  available  to  take  on  ISIS:  First,  use  their  army,  which  is  Shia-­dominated  and  despised  by  virtually  all  the  Sunnis  in  the  north  and  west  and,  second,  use  the  Shia  militias  which  for  the  past  decade  have  been  killing  Sunnis  throughout  Iraq.  If  anything,  they  are  even  more  despised  than  the  Shia  in  the  Iraqi  army.  Sunni  ISIS  has  invaded  Iraq  and  risen  up  against  Shia-­run  Syria.  7KHUH DUH YLUWXDOO\ QR 6XQQLV LQ WKH UHJLRQ ZKR ZLOO ÂżJKW DORQJVLGH the  Shia  Iraqis  against  ISIS.  Saudi  Arabia,  for  example,  is  the  philo-­ sophical  home  and  strongest  supporter  of  fundamentalist  views  like  those  of  ISIS.  So  where  is  the  regional  Sunni  entity  that  will  vanquish  ISIS?  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  in  evidence.  Only  Shia  are  apparently  willing  to  take  them  on.

These  realities  in  Iraq  are  not  new.  True  to  historical  form,  only  6KLD 6\ULD +H]EROODK DQG ,UDQ ZDQW WR WDNH RQ 6XQQL ,6,6 $UH WKH\ to  be  our  new  and  probably  only  allies  if  we  once  again  put  U.S.  boots  on  the  ground?  Is  that  not  ironic?  How  will  regional  Sunni  neighbors,  our  longtime  allies,  take  that?  Do  we  have  any  idea  what  we  are  doing?  Haviland  Smith  is  a  retired  CIA  station  chief  who  served  in  eastern  and  western  Europe  and  the  Middle  East,  and  as  chief  of  the  coun-­ terterrorism  staff.

A  double  shot  of  pride  for  parents We  buried  my  father  more  than  two  decades  ago,  and  my  memories  of  him  are  sadly  growing  more  faint  by  the  year.  But  I  will  always  remember  the  emphasis  he  placed  on  getting  a  college  degree  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  not  only  as  a  ticket  to  better  employment,  but  also  as  a  means  by  which  to  grow  intellectually  and  socially  before  setting  out  into  the  world.

Shumlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  decision  creates  intrigue Gov.  Peter  Shumlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  announcement  that  he  will  not  be  a  candidate  for  re-­election  in  2016  was  surprising  not  so  much  in  its  substance,  but  in  its  timing.  Governors  Dean  and  Douglas  announced  their  decisions  not  to  run  again  in  August  or  September  of  the  year  preceding  the  elec-­ tion,  rather  than  18  months  before  the  end  of  their  terms.

Shumlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  narrow  victory  in  2014  with  less  than  50  percent  of  the  vote,  his  loss  of  support  among  progres-­ sives  because  of  his  abandonment  of  single-­payer  health  care,  and  his  approval  rating  below  50  percent  would  have  put  him  in  the  most  vulnerable  position  of  any  governor  seeking  re-­ election  since  Howard  Dean  in  2000.  Shumlin  was  hurt  by  low  turnout  in  2014.  He  was  likely  concerned  about  potentially  lower-­than-­usual  turnout  in  2016  because  of  subdued  enthu-­ siasm  among  some  Democrats  for  a  ticket  headed  by  Hillary  Rodham  By  Eric  L.  Davis Clinton.  Putting  all  these  things  together,  I  am  not  surprised  that  Shumlin  decid-­ HG WR VWDQG GRZQ UDWKHU WKDQ ULVN EHLQJ WKH ÂżUVW JRYHUQRU to  lose  a  re-­election  bid  since  1962.

Lt.  Gov.  Phil  Scott  had  told  reporters  in  recent  weeks  that  he  was  seriously  thinking  about  running  for  gover-­ nor  in  2016.  With  no  incumbent  in  the  race,  Scott  is  now  more  likely  to  seek  the  top  job  himself.  Scott,  who  was  re-­elected  with  more  than  60  percent  of  the  vote  in  2014,  would  be  by  far  the  strongest  potential  Republican  can-­ didate  for  2016.  He  has  high  name  recognition,  is  well-­ liked,  is  a  natural  campaigner,  and,  as  last  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  results  show,  can  appeal  to  voters  beyond  the  Republican  base.

Smith  is  articulate,  very  knowl-­ edgeable  about  policy  issues,  and  well-­liked  by  Democratic  activists.  However,  he  would  have  to  over-­ come  the  disadvantage  of  being  the  public  face  of  the  Legislature,  not  the  PRVW SRSXODU LQVWLWXWLRQ LQ 9HUPRQW This  problem  has  hurt  other  speak-­ ers  who  have  run  for  governor.  Al-­ WKRXJK VHYHUDO VSHDNHUV KDYH VRXJKW WKH WRS RI¿FH WKH last  sitting  House  speaker  to  be  elected  governor  was  Ray  Keyser  in  1960.

“I was very impressed with the staff at Bristol Electronics. David came to my home for the site check and was so honest and took the time I needed to answer all of my questions. I have been very impressed with the entire Bristol Electronics team. I could not be home during the installation days, however I felt complete trust in the installation team to do what was necessary without my guidance. I absolutely love not having an electricity bill now.”

Annual picnic fetes the Suttons, community EAST  MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  After  the  wind  calmed  on  Saturday,  June  6,  12  men  gathered  in  East  Middlebury  to  set  up  for  the  annual  community  picnic.  Ranging  in  age  from  10  to  60,  they  made  short  work  of  erecting  a  large  tent  loaned  by  Eric  Murray.  Then  the  tables,  chairs  and  a  food  tent  were  added  to  scene.

On  Sunday,  June  7,  Bill  and  Pat  Chaffee  arrived  early  and  assisted  ZLWK WKH ÂżQDO VHWXS GHWDLOV $W cooks  Pat  Chaffee,  Jason  Larocque  and  Bob  Wells  started  grilling  hot  dogs  and  hamburgers.  Kathleen  Ramsay,  Middlebury  town  manager,  DUULYHG ZLWK PXOWLSOH YDVHV RI Ă&#x20AC;RZ-­ ers  to  be  set  on  the  tables  and  taken  home  by  the  guests.  A  crowd  had  ar-­ rived  by  noon.

The  food  table,  managed  by  Dawn  Saunders,  was  laden  with  homemade  dishes.  Todd  Desabrais  had  been  in-­ volved  in  an  activity  at  the  American  Legion  on  Saturday.  He  suggested  that  their  leftover  food  could  come  to  us.  We  had  a  feast.  Since  our  group  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  eat  all  the  food,  it  was  passed  along  to  the  Community  Lunch  Pro-­ gram,  courtesy  of  Lorrie  Muller.  In  addition,  the  Waybury  Inn,  Middle-­ bury  Beef  Supply  and  the  Down-­ home  Deli  donated  food.

This  year  several  families  with  young  children  attended  and  it  was  a  pleasure  to  have  their  added  energy  as  they  ran  back  and  forth  from  the  Harold  Curtiss  Recreation  Park  to  the  picnic  area  behind  the  Sarah  Par-­ tridge  Community  House.  Approxi-­ mately  79  residents,  representing  KRXVHKROGV DQG VHYHQ JXHVWV DW-­ tended.  Susan  Shashok  helped  those  attending  log  in,  get  nametags  and  sign  up  for  door  prizes.  The  event  is  supported  with  monetary  donations Â

Douglas  devotes  four  decades  to  FCS  kids Overcame  hurdles  to  pursue  career By  ANDY  KIRKALDY FERRISBURGH  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  As  retiring  Ferrisburgh  Central  School  educator  Kathy  Douglas  tells  it,  she  always  knew  she  wanted  to  teach.

The  native  of  Addison  who  grew  up  on  her  parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  dairy  farm  recalled  WKH ÂżUVW RI ZKDW VKH VDLG ZHUH PDQ\ jobs  centered  on  children.  ³0\ ÂżUVW MRE ZDV EDE\VLWWLQJ DW WKH age  of  12  for  a  teacher  that  had  four  boys,  and  I  made  25  cents  an  hour,â&#x20AC;?  said  Douglas,  who  will  wrap  up  a  42-­ year  career  at  FCS  on  Tuesday.

There  was  a  moment  of  clarity  along  the  way.  The  member  of  the  ¿UVW 9HUJHQQHV 8QLRQ +LJK 6FKRRO graduating  class  remembers  volun-­ teering  for  her  church  school.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  helped  the  nuns  with  a  religion  class,â&#x20AC;?  said  Douglas,  now  73.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sis-­ ter  Ursula  was  fantastic  with  the  NLGV 6R , NQHZ GHÂżQLWHO\ WKDWÂśV ZKDW I  wanted.  I  wanted  to  be  a  teacher.  Working  with  the  kids  was  what  I  wanted.â&#x20AC;?

Launching  that  career  proved  to  be  challenging.  After  World  War  II,  other  family  members  took  over  the  farm,  and  Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  family,  including  four  siblings,  moved  to  Burlington,  Waterbury  and  back  to  Burlington  EHIRUH UHWXUQLQJ WR WKH 9HUJHQQHV area  when  she  was  ready  for  eighth  grade.  $IWHU 98+6 'RXJODV DWWHQGHG Trinity  College  in  Burlington  for  two  years.  But  money  was  tight,  and  she  dropped  out  and  went  to  work  for  the  former  First  National  Supermarket  in  GRZQWRZQ 9HUJHQQHV 7KHQ VKH FDXJKW D EUHDN +HU 9HU-­ gennes  priest  had  moved  to  Burl-­ ington,  and  asked  her  to  teach  third  grade  at  St.  Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  School  there.  She  did  so  for  two  years.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Father  knew  that  I  loved  kids  and  had  taught  religion  class,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  She  gained  valuable  experience,  if  QRW ÂżQDQFLDO UHZDUG â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  a  poor  section  of  town,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  made  $2,000  a  year  and  probably  spent  it  all  on  the  kids.â&#x20AC;?

She  then  married  Clifford  Doug-­ las  (in  later  years  they  divorced,  but  not  before  raising  three  children).  He  MRLQHG WKH 1DY\ WKH\ PRYHG WR 9LU-­ ginia  Beach,  and  she  taught  religious  school  for  four  years.  :KHQ WKH\ UHWXUQHG WR WKH 9HU-­ gennes  area,  Douglas  said  former  9HUJHQQHV 6XSHULQWHQGHQW 'DYLG Potter  made  her  an  offer:  If  she  obtained  her  teaching  degree,  she  would  have  a  job.  Â

She  attended  the  University  of  9HUPRQW IRU WZR \HDUV ZKLOH KHU SDU-­ ents  took  care  of  her  young  children.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  hard  having  two  children  at  home  and  having  to  take  all  these  courses.  But  it  was  worth  it,â&#x20AC;?  Douglas  said.

CAREER  BEGINS The  offer  was  made  for  a  job  in  9HUJHQQHV EXW WKH RSHQLQJ FDPH DW FCS.  Douglas  said  Potter  told  her  VKH FRXOG WDNH D MRE LQ 9HUJHQQHV later.

But  plans  changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  leave,â&#x20AC;?  Douglas  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  love  this  school  and  I  love  this  community.â&#x20AC;?   Douglas  has  spent  most  of  her  time  WHDFKLQJ ÂżIWK DQG VL[WK JUDGHUV most  recently  specializing  in  history  and  social  studies  as  the  school  has  shifted  to  rotating  educators  to  teach  their  specialties  to  the  two  higher  grade  levels.  But  she  started  out  in  a  third-­grade  classroom,  and  has  taught  fourth-­ grade  and  combined  third-­  and  fourth-­grade  classes.  She  now  has  a  sixth-­grade  homeroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  managed  to  move  me  around  to  most  of  the  rooms,  be-­ cause  they  would  look  in  the  closet  and  say,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Time  to  move  you.  Time  to  clean  out,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Douglas  said.

Thirty-­eight  years  ago,  she  started  taking  classes  on  an  overnight  Social  Studies/History  trip  to  Canada,  an  event  that  has  remained  an  annual  VSULQJ Âż[WXUH VLQFH DQG LV QRZ D WZR night  visit.  A  centerpiece  has  been  a  VWRS DW 8SSHU &DQDGD 9LOODJH D UHF-­ reation  of  an  1860s  village.  Students  keep  journals  and  then  scrapbook  their  experiences,  and  Douglas  said  they  also  learn  how  to  behave  in  public  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  she  said  FCS  is  the  only  group  of  students  allowed  to  eat  in  the  main  dining  room  of  the  motel  that  hosts  them  each  spring.  6KH DOVR LQWURGXFHG )&6 WR 9HU-­ mont  History  Day,  and  FCS  students  have  done  well  in  that  competition,  which  includes  research,  dioramas  (Douglas  visits  students  at  home  to  help  prepare  them)  and  oral  presenta-­ WLRQV 'RXJODV DOVR UHFUXLWHG 98+6 teacher  Cookie  Steponaitis  to  start  WKH 9HUPRQW +LVWRU\ 'D\ SURJUDP DW the  middle-­  and  high-­school  levels,  and  it  has  succeeded  there  as  well.  %RWK WKH &DQDGD WULS DQG 9HUPRQW History  Day  program  will  continue,  Douglas  said,  and  she  will  stay  in-­ volved  with  history  day  at  both  lev-­ els.

Â

Do  you  say,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  sorry,  I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  help  you  because  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  got  to  do  this  assess-­ ment?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  No.â&#x20AC;?

Still,  she  believes  FCS  has  done  well  by  its  students.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  know  this  is  a  good  school,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every  principal  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  had  here  is  here  for  the  kids.â&#x20AC;?

RETIREMENT For  the  past  decade,  Douglas  has  served  as  a  caregiver  for  her  parents  LQ 9HUJHQQHV QRW IDU IURP KHU RZQ Main  Street  home.  Her  father  died  about  seven  years  ago,  and  her  mother  in  May  2014.  She  missed  a  lot  of  time  in  the  2013-­2014  school  year,  and  had  considered  retiring  before  then.  But  she  wanted  a  year  she  could  devote  to  her  students.  Unfortunately,  the  plan  did  not  work  so  well.  A  bro-­ ken  foot  caused  her  to  miss  a  month  this  past  fall,  and  two  illnesses  cost  her  time  later  in  the  year.  0HDQZKLOH WKH ÂżUVW WRXJK WLPHV passing  FCS  budgets  arrived.  She  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  see  a  new  teacher  lose  a  job  if  she  stayed  on.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;When  I  see  some  of  the  younger  teachers  coming  in  now,  and  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  great,  and  when  they  talk  about  possi-­

bly  having  to  cut  back  teachers  here,  I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  see  that  happen,â&#x20AC;?  Douglas  said.

Ultimately,  she  put  the  interest  of  WKH VWXGHQWV ÂżUVW Âł, ÂżQDOO\ VDLG WKLV VSULQJ WKLV LV probably  it,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  got  to  take  care  of  myself,  and  I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  keep  missing  because  of  the  kids.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  fair  to  the  kids.â&#x20AC;?

All  that  logic  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  make  it  an  easy  decision,  though.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  hate  to  leave  teaching.  I  really  do.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  going  to  miss  it  terribly.  I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  even  think  about  it  right  now,  to  be  honest  with  you,â&#x20AC;?  Douglas  said.  Some  things  will  help.  She  will  spend  a  day  a  week  caring  for  two  RI KHU JUDQGFKLOGUHQ LQ 9HUJHQQHV a  newborn  girl  and  her  older  brother,  and  four  more  are  not  far  off,  two  in  Burlington  and  two  in  Barre.  And  Douglas  will  be  showing  up  at  FCS  every  now  and  then.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  might  sub  once  in  a  while.  But  I  am  going  to  continue  with  the  Ca-­ nadian  trip  and  history  day,â&#x20AC;?  Douglas  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;So  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  in  to  see  the  kids.â&#x20AC;?

THE  OTTER  PAWS  student  group  at  Otter  Valley  Union  High  School  mobilized  and  engaged  the  entire  student  body  against  the  After  School  app  last  week.

OVUHS  cial  mediaâ&#x20AC;?  covered  the  OV  lobby  walls,  each  one  signed  by  a  different  student.  Posters  urging  attention  to  passive-­aggressive  comments  online  and  warning  against  apathy  covered  the  walls.  Avery  sent  out  messages  and  photos  about  the  effort  on  Twit-­ ter,  garnering  more  support  from  fel-­ low  principals  at  South  Burlington  High  School  and  Montpelier  High  School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  all  in  the  same  situation,â&#x20AC;?  Avery  said  of  his  fellow  principals.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  all  talking  about  how  we  can  collaborate  together  because  it  has  to  come  from  the  kids.â&#x20AC;?

Avery  credits  King  and  the  Otter  Paws  group  for  quick  mobilization  on  the  issue,  but  said  the  goal  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  just  to  crush  a  bullying  app.  It  was  bigger  than  that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  just  become  a  state  of  mind,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  about  doing  the  right  thing  and  contributing  to  a  positive  atmosphere  in  the  school.â&#x20AC;?

On  Saturday,  OV  was  buzzing  with  soon-­to-­be  graduates  and  proud  SDUHQWV DV ÂżQDO JUDGXDWLRQ SUHSDUD-­ tions  were  being  made.  Avery  said  he  hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  heard  anymore  about  the  After  School  app  since  Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  rally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  sure  it  hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  stopped,â&#x20AC;?  he  said  of  online  bullying  in  general.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  constant.  I  think  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  why  the  Otter  Paws  included  all  of  these  social  media  sites  in  the  effort.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  about  everything  we  do.â&#x20AC;?

Avery  said  the  problem  runs  even  deeper,  to  a  socio-­cultural  level  where  students,  as  well  as  adults,  need  to  remember  how  to  treat  each  other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  how  we  treat  each  other  in  the  hallways  or  on  the  street,â&#x20AC;?  Avery  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  a  one-­shot  thing.  We  have  to  carry  it  into  next  year.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  OTTER  VALLEY  PRINCIPAL  Jim  Avery  shows  off  one  of  the  many  anti-­bullying  posters  at  the  school  on  whole  movement  we  have  to  carry  Saturday. forward.â&#x20AC;?

But  any  platform  that  allows  kids  to  post  anonymous  comments  un-­ fortunately  will  turn  negative,  Avery  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The  app)  is  designed  to  be  posi-­ tive,  but  it  has  been  used  for  more  hurtful  purposes  than  not,â&#x20AC;?  the  prin-­ cipal  said.

Since  last  winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  backlash  in  Rutland,  the  After  School  app  was  pulled  from  Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  online  App  Store  twice.  In  April,  Levy  relaunched  an  updated  version  of  After  School  with  what  are  described  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;updated Â

safety  features.â&#x20AC;?  Levy  has  said  those  features  included  creating  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safety  Boardâ&#x20AC;?  made  up  of  psychologists,  HGXFDWRUV DQG QRQSURÂżW OHDGHUV â&#x20AC;&#x153;dedicated  to  making  the  Internet  a  safer  place  for  young  people.â&#x20AC;?

The  application  now  has  proactive  features  that  respond  to  users  who  post  threatening  or  troubling  mes-­ sages,  as  well  as  moderators  who  re-­ view  every  post  before  it  gets  posted  live  to  the  social  network.  A  â&#x20AC;&#x153;mature  FRQWHQW´ ÂżOWHU SUHYHQWV DQ\RQH XQ-­ der  the  age  of  17  from  seeing  mature  posts,  and  in  order  to  verify  a  userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  age,  After  School  requires  a  driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  license  scan.  Levy  has  said  he  and Â

his  company  have  â&#x20AC;&#x153;zero  tolerance  for  hateful  content.â&#x20AC;?

But  last  Monday  at  OV,  there  was  plenty  of  hateful  content  on  the  After  School  app  directed  at  fellow  stu-­ dents,  and  Avery  said  the  efforts  of  guidance  staff  member  Lisa  King,  the  Otter  Paws  community  volun-­ teer  group,  the  student  body  and  the  faculty  helped  turn  a  negative  into  a  positive.

It  was  on  Town  Meeting  Day  this  past  March  that  local  voters  defeat-­ ed  an  initial  2015-­2016  MAUHS  budget  proposal  of  $14,068,551  by  a  1,241-­1,088  tally.  That  budget  represented  a  $32,753  reduction  in  spending  compared  to  the  current  ¿VFDO \HDU VSHQGLQJ SODQ which  runs  through  June  30.

Mount  Abe  directors  cut  $36,000  from  that  failed  initial  budget  before  delivering  it  to  voters  in  April.  But  residents  rejected  that  revised  $14.02  million  spending  plan  by  a  755  to  485  margin.
