It could happen here in Vermont, with the Vermont Gas Pipeline that would carry fracked gas from Canada through Addison County, underneath Lake Champlain to International Paper in New York. Â Our farms, forests, communities and lake at risk for what?

So IP can cut fuel costs.

Say  what? Our farms, streams, air, safety, health, Lake Champlain and landscape at risk for IP? The Vermont Gas Pipeline: a deal between two international corporations.  Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing natural about it.

Motorists  urged  to  use  caution I  have  to  write  this  letter  as  a  concerned  neighbor  and  resident  for  almost  30  years  at  the  intersections  of  Washington  Street  Extension,  Happy  Valley  Road,  Painter  Hills  Road,  Halpin  Road  and  Painter  Road  asking  for  drivers  passing  through  our  stretch  of  town  to  show  a  little  bit  more  responsibility  of  not  driving  fast  to  and/or  from  the  vil-­ lage  of  Middlebury.

It  appears  that  there  are  a  few  neighbors  with  kids  riding  bikes,  happy  grandkids  in  strollers  and  others  who  are  simply  out  and  about  enjoying  this  populated  area  among  all  the  fast  travelers  who  drive  ve-­ hicles  to  meet  up  with  their  appoint-­ ments  and  schedules.

I  feel  disappointed  of  calling  the  police  department  regarding  this  potential  worry  of  something  I  wish  not  happen  and  need  not  discuss  and  I  do  understand  that  this  is  probably  QRW WKH ¿UVW WLPH WKH\ KDYH UHFHLYHG such  a  call.

It  is  really  not  my  duty  to  be  vigi-­ lant,  but  when  someone  shows  me  WKHLU WDOOHVW ÂżQJHU SRLQWLQJ XSZDUG after  showing  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;please  slow  downâ&#x20AC;?  motion,  I  became  compelled  to  write  this  note  for  those  who  might  need  acknowledgment  for  their  regard  of  others.

I  hope  I  was  not  indignant  to  that  particular  motorist  expressing  my  concern  for  a  quality-­of-­life  regard.

Summer  has  quickly  arrived  with  more  people  being  out  and  about.

Chance  encounter  boosts  family I  had  kept  abreast  of  his  life  during  the  past  three  years  very  impersonally  and  from  afar,  through  Facebook.  I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  how  to  break  the  ice,  because  the  last  time  I  saw  Charlie,  he  was  in  diapers  making  mayhem.  Now  in  his  mid-­20s,  I  learned  that  Charlie  was  still  making  some  mayhem  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  though  thankfully  not  of  the  law-­breaking  variety,  just  through  his  rock  band  and  other  youthful  pursuits.

Charlie  is  my  half-­brother,  with  whom  I  lost  contact  two  decades  ago  after  our  dad  died.  Never  got  to  know  him  much  as  a  child.  He  and  his  brother,  Donny,  left  the  region  with Â

By John their  mom  soon  after  dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  death.  Flowers Wondered  if  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  ever  see  Charlie  and  'RQQ\ DJDLQ WKRXJK ZH EULHĂ&#x20AC;\ VDZ Donny  about  six  years  ago,  in  Maine.  Donny  has  since  relocated  to  California  to  pursue  a  ca-­ UHHU DV D PDUWLDO DUWV ÂżJKWHU DQG LQVWUXFWRU But  Charlie  had  remained  a  mystery.  He  had  accept-­ ed  my  â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendâ&#x20AC;?  request  on  Facebook,  but  there  never  seemed  to  be  an  appropriate  conversation-­starter.  Soooo,  what  have  you  been  up  to  since  you  stopped  using  a  paci-­ ÂżHU" 5HPHPEHU PH" Of  course  there  was  no  way  he  would  remember  me,  and  at  51,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  old  enough  to  be  his  dad.  Figured  he  might  look  upon  me  as  a  comparative  fossil  with  whom  he  had  little  in  common.  I  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  naĂŻve  enough  to  think  he  would  welcome  me  with  open  arms  as  the  proverbial  brother-­from-­another-­mother.

Still,  I  decided  to  make  an  initial  overture  last  year,  e-­

mailing  him  some  photos  of  our  dad,  whom  he  never  got  to  know.  He  politely  accepted  the  photos,  but  the  gesture  failed  to  produce  an  entrÊe  into  a  more  meaningful  rap-­ port.

Was  I  coming  on  too  strong?  Was  his  polite-­but-­brief  response  an  indication  that  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  like  to  maintain  the  sta-­ tus  quo?  Perhaps  he  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  ready,  at  this  point  in  his  life,  to  climb  the  branches  of  a  family  tree  that  had  heretofore  remained  hidden  to  him.

Fair  enough.  I  decided  to  continue  to  give  Charlie  his  distance  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  until  this  past  May.  My  wife  Dottie  and  I  planned  an  anniversary  sojourn  to  the  Kennebunk  area  of  Maine,  not  too  far  from  where  my  dad  lived  during  the  ¿QDO \HDUV RI KLV WRR VKRUW OLIH $V ZH considered  activities  and  spots  to  visit  in  the  area,  we  dared  to  imagine  an  impromptu  face-­to-­face  with  Char-­ lie.  So  we  looked  up  his  workplace,  a  Portland  restau-­ rant,  and  popped  the  address  in  our  GPS  on  a  Saturday  night.  Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  even  know  if  he  was  on  duty  that  night.  We  left  it  all  to  chance.

I  was  a  ball  of  sweaty  nerves  as  I  sauntered  into  the  restaurant,  Dottie  in  front  of  me.

And  there  he  was.  There  was  no  mistaking  it  from  the  Facebook  photos.  Handsome  young  man,  tanned  skin,  Asian  features  from  his  mom,  unmistakable  facial  con-­ tours  from  our  dad.

Public  is  still  feeling  a  recession A  national  poll  conducted  by  NBC  News  and  The  Wall  Street  Journal  in  late  May  and  early  June  found  that  58  percent  of  those  surveyed  agreed  with  the  statement  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  United  States  is  in  an  economic  recession.â&#x20AC;?  The  con-­ sensus  of  academic  and  business  economists  is  that  the  recession  that  began  in  late  2007  ended  in  the  summer  of  2009,  when  the  economy  bottomed  out.  The  economy  has  been  growing,  albeit  slowly  and  below  its  potential,  for  the  past  four  years.  Why  is  there  a  disconnect  be-­ tween  public  perceptions  and  the  views  of  professional  economists  over  the  end  point  of  the  recession?

One  reason  is  the  extent  of  unem-­ ployment  in  the  United  States.  The  Labor  Department  reported  last  week  that  the  unemployment  rate  for  May  was  7.6  percent.  This  represents  a  very  high  level  of  joblessness  four  years  into  an  expansion.  Furthermore,  the  commonly  reported  unemploy-­ ment  rate  understates  the  extent  of  By  Eric  L.  Davis joblessness  in  America.  Almost  12  million  Americans  are  unemployed.  An  additional  8  million  people  are  categorized  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;underemployedâ&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  they  want  IXOO WLPH MREV EXW DUH QRW DEOH WR ÂżQG DQ\WKLQJ PRUH WKDQ part-­time  positions.  Finally,  more  than  2  million  people  are  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;marginally  attachedâ&#x20AC;?  to  the  labor  force  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  they  would  like  to  have  work  but  are  so  discouraged  that  they  have  given  up  looking  for  a  job.  In  total,  nearly  22  million  Americans  would  like  to  be  working  more  than  they  are.  This  represents  more  than  10  percent  of  the  pop-­ ulation  between  18  and  65  years  old,  and  helps  explain  why  a  majority  of  those  polled  believe  the  economy  is  still  in  recession.

Politically Thinking

Another  reason  for  the  economy-­in-­recession  percep-­ tion  is  the  substantial  disparity  across  income  groups  in  UHFHLYLQJ WKH EHQHÂżWV RI WKH HFRQRPLF H[SDQVLRQ VLQFH summer  2009.  Analysts  at  the  Federal  Reserve  of  St.  Louis  note  that  the  aggregate  net  worth  of  all  American  households  at  the  end  of  2012  was  $66.1  trillion,  near-­ ly  the  same  as  the  pre-­recession  peak  of  $67.4  trillion  reached  in  September  2007.  At  the  trough  of  the  reces-­ sion  in  March  2009,  aggregate  household  wealth  was  $51.4  trillion.  The  St.  Louis  Fed  researchers  concluded  that  62  per-­ cent  of  the  $14.7  trillion  increase  in  household  wealth  from  2009  to  2012  was  due  to  stock  market  gains.  Own-­ ership  of  stocks  is  concentrated  in  a  small  number  of  high-­net-­worth  households,  which,  in  many  instanc-­ es,  are  better  off  today  than  they  were  in  2007.  However,  for  the  majority  of  American  households,  whose  income  comes  from  wages  and  salaries,  and  whose  principal  asset  is  a  home  that  is  probably  worth  less  today  than  it  was  in  2007,  the  gains  in  aggregate  household  wealth  have  not  translated  into  an  increase  in  living  standards.  In  the  NBC/WSJ  poll,  68  percent  of  respondents  agreed  with  the  statement  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  Dow  Jones  Average  has  hit  an  all-­time  high  is  an  indication  that  corporations  and  the  wealthy  are  doing  better,  but  not  necessarily  the  econo-­ my  overall.â&#x20AC;?

High  and  growing  amounts  of  student  loan  debt  also  help  explain  perceptions  of  the  economy.  The  New  York  Federal  Reserve  recently  reported  that  student  loan  debt  (See  Davis,  Page  5A)

I  would  like  to  thank  the  Climate  Committee  of  the  Middlebury  Friends  Meeting  for  their  very  thoughtful  letter  concerning  the  gas  pipeline  and  thank  you,  too,  to  Susan  Shashok  for  being  the  lone  dissenter  on  the  selectboard.

0\ ÂżUVW UHDFWLRQ ZKHQ , UHDG of  the  selectboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  vote  to  accept  the  pipeline  was  disbelief.  The  vast  majority  of  towns  in  Vermont,  Middlebury  included,  voted  â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;?  to  fracking  in  Vermont.  Why,  then,  are  we  willing  to  accept  fracked  gas  from  Canada  passing  in  a  pipeline  under  our  town?

One  of  the  members  of  the  se-­ lectboard  was  quoted  as  saying  the  majority  of  Middlebury  residents  want  the  pipeline.  I  would  like  to  NQRZ ZKHUH WKLV ³PDMRULW\´ ¿JXUH comes  from,  as  there  certainly  was  nothing  on  the  ballot  in  March  about  the  pipeline.

I,  too,  like  the  Friends,  would  be  happy  to  see  the  selectboard  recon-­ sider  their  decision.

With  elements  of  subtle  social  satire  and  broad  comedy,  this  play  will  resonate  with  just  about  everyone.  Two  couples  get  together  to  resolve  a  play-­ ground  altercation  between  their  sons.  Despite  their  best  intentions,  tensions  emerge,  fault  lines  open,  and  the  gloves  come  off  with  hilarious  results.   Rezaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  play,  in  a  translation  by  Christopher  Hampton,  is  among  the  most  successful  comedies  to  come  along  in  recent  years.  After  a  long  run  on  Broadway  starring  James  *DQGROÂżQL LW KDV EHHQ PDGH LQWR D ÂżOP DQG SURGXFHG LQ WKHDWHUV DOO RYHU the  country.

By  XIAN  CHIANG-­WAREN BRISTOL  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  This  Saturday  be-­ ginning  at  8  p.m.,  Smart  Growth  for  Bristol  will  host  a  community  story-­ telling  event  in  Holley  Hall  modeled  after  the  Moth  Radio  Hour,  a  popular  weekly  show  heard  on  National  Pub-­ lic  Radio  in  which  regular  people  tell  stories  from  their  lives.  The  Mothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  storytelling  model  has  each  storyteller  speak  without  notes,  a  strategy  that  often  results  in  a  vari-­ ety  of  stories  that  range  from  tragic  to  hysterically  funny,  according  to  event  organizer  and  Smart  Growth  member  Caroline  Engvall.

The  topic  of  the  stories  at  Sat-­ urdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  event  will  simply  be  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life  in  Bristol,â&#x20AC;?  and  all  members  of  the  community  from  every  age  group  are  invited  to  attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  heard  the  Moth  on  radio, Â

The Mothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storytelling model has each storyteller speak without notes, a strategy that often results in a variety of stories that range from tragic to hysterically funny. and  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  always  a  lot  of  fun,â&#x20AC;?  said  Engvall.  The  master  of  ceremonies  will  be  Bobby  Stoddard,  a  Warren  resident  whose  own  Moth  story  has  been  fea-­ tured  on  the  national  radio  program  and  who  Engvall  says  has  a  unique  talent  for  coaxing  stories  from  the  audience.  Anyone  with  a  story  to  tell  may  put  his  or  her  name  into  a  hat, Â

and  Stoddard  will  draw  names  at  ran-­ dom.  Engvall  said  there  will  be  no  pres-­ sure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  audience  can  be  audience  members  or  storytellers,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  People  are  invited  simply  to  come  listen  and  relax  while  hanging  out  with  other  members  of  the  commu-­ nity.  Engvall  hopes  to  attract  people  from  all  walks  of  life,  to  represent  the  many  experiences  in  the  Bristol  community.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;People  get  to  say  whatever  they  want,  and  usually  great  stories  come  out  of  it,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.

The  event  will  run  from  8  to  10:30  p.m.  and  is  free,  although  donations  to  Smart  Growth  for  Bristol  will  be  collected.  And  if  the  night  is  a  suc-­ cess,  Engvall  is  open  to  organizing  future  events. Â
