Do you want this?

...Or this?

There are 250-300 gas explosions per year in this country.

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.

Just say No to Phases l and ll of Vermont Gas Systems dirty fracked gas pipeline. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it.

Pipeline  poses  many  problems

In  Syria: Â

A possible way forward

Do  we  realize  that  this  proposed  gas  pipeline,  to  be  placed  under  our  beautiful  Vermont  countryside,  will  threaten  the  physical  safety  and  emotional  well-­being  of  Vermonters  for  untold  years  to  come,  that  the  dangers  from  leaking  and  exploding  gas  pipelines  are  powerful  beyond  our  comprehension  in  their  deathly  destructiveness  to  our  land  and  to  our  neighbors?

The  irresponsible  decision  by  members  of  the  Middlebury  se-­ lectboard  to  welcome  this  destruc-­ tive  force  into  our  environment  is  unparalleled  in  its  consequence.  And  the  travesty  is  multiplied  when  we  realize  that  this  is  to  serve  the  most  egregious  polluter  to  our  Champlain  Basinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  lake  and  air  for  over  a  half  century,  the  International  Paper  Co.  at  Ticonderoga,  N.Y.  Just  as  their  pollution  of  Lake  Champlain  has  poisoned  its  neighbors  up  the  lake,  the  Middlebury  selectboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  deci-­ sion  to  allow  a  gas  pipeline  through  Middlebury  is  an  opening  of  the  Ă&#x20AC;RRGJDWHV DQG WKRXJKWOHVVO\ WKUHDW-­ ens  its  neighbors  â&#x20AC;&#x153;downstreamâ&#x20AC;?  to  deal  with  the  consequences.

Doubt  not:  If  this  fracked  gas  pipe-­ line  gets  installed  under  our  beautiful  Vermont  countryside,  the  gas  and  pa-­ per  conglomerates  will  make  billions  of  dollars.  But  we,  your  neighbors,  the  citizens  of  Vermont,  and  our  chil-­ drenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  children,  will  pay  the  price.

In  sum,  Syria  is,  of  course,  a  humanitarian  nightmare.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  also  a  place  where  we  need  to  think  very  hard  before  we  decide  whether  and  how  to  intervene.  The  stakes  and  risks  are  high.

American  policy  on  the  issue  has,  so  far,  been  inconsistent.  Declaring  that  Assad  must  go  was  satisfying  emotionally,  but  did  not  foresee  the  possibility  that  the  rebels  might  not  win.  Drawing  a  â&#x20AC;šred  lineâ&#x20AC;ş  over  the  use  of  chemical  ZHDSRQV ZDV D VLPLODU KXPDQLWDULDQ UHĂ&#x20AC;H[ DQG DVVXPHG KH ZRXOGQžW GDUH Now  that  Assad  has  called  our  bluff  and  used  them,  the  White  House  response  of  sending  small  arms  to  friendly  rebels  is  much  too  little  and  probably  too  late  WR PDNH D GHFLVLYH GLIIHUHQFH WR WKH ÂżQDO RXWFRPH DOWKRXJK LW FRXOG EH EDUHO\ enough  to  stalemate  the  situation  and  open  the  way  to  negotiations.

That,  I  believe,  is  the  only  balanced  way  forward.  To  get  to  negotiations  we  may  have  to  escalate  a  bit  more,  but  should  do  so  in  a  carefully  measured  way.  And  given  that  the  rebels  are  clearly  no  lon-­ ger  winning,  negotiations,  once  we  get  there,  will  also  require  compromise  all  around.   ********** There  is  one  new  factor  that  could  improve  and,  perhaps,  transform  the  situation:  The  election  last  week  of  Hassan  Rouhani,  a  moderate  new  Iranian  president.  In  his  campaign,  Rouhani  stressed  that  he  wanted  to  improve  rela-­ WLRQV ZLWK WKH :HVW DQG ÂżQG D VROXWLRQ WR WKH QXFOHDU LVVXH *LYHQ WKDW WKH Grand  Ayatollah  Khamenei  approved  Rouhaniâ&#x20AC;şs  running  for  president,  that  the  V\VWHP DFFHSWHG KLV ZLQ RI SHUFHQW DQG WKDW .KDPHQHL UHSRUWHGO\ SUDLVHG this  working  of  Iranian  â&#x20AC;šdemocracyâ&#x20AC;ş,  it  seems  likely  that  the  Ayatollah  himself  has  decided  that  a  basic  change  in  Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  policy  direction  is  necessary  and  that  Rouhaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  election  should  be  seen  as  the  face-­saving  way  of  doing  so.  To  test  this  hypothesis,  the  West  should  promptly  take  Rouhani  up  on  this  and  put  everything  on  the  table,  including  a  complete  lifting  of  sanctions  and  normalization  of  relations  in  return  for  Iranian  acceptance  of  the  needed  nucle-­ ar  cutbacks  and  IAEA  controls  of  its  nuclear  program,  consistent  with  its  status  as  a  signatory  of  the  Non-­Proliferation  Treaty.  One  of  the  critical  conditions  for  such  a  grand  bargain  should  be  Iranian  sup-­ SRUW IRU D SURPSW DQG UHDVRQDEOH 6\ULDQ FHDVH ÂżUH DQG VHWWOHPHQW ²  preserving  the  regime,  but  supporting  Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  early  departure  and  guaranteeing  early,  free  internationally  supervised  elections.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  solution  that  would  please  no  one,  but  would  stop  the  killing  and  give  Syria  a  chance  at  a  new  beginning.  :KHWKHU HYHQ WKLV ZLOO VXIÂżFH WR NHHS 6\ULD WRJHWKHU LQ WKH ORQJHU UXQ LV GHEDWDEOH 0RUH OLNHO\ WRJHWKHU ZLWK WKH RWKHU DUWLÂżFLDO PLGGOH HDVWHUQ VWDWHV it  will  sooner  or  later  disintegrate  into  its  Shia,  Sunni,  Kurdish  and  Christian  parts,  and  then  regroup  along  more  natural  historic  lines.  This  will  take  time  and  probably  more  bloodshed,  but,  in  the  long  term,  might  actually  be  a  rather  good  solution.

Searching  for  a  slice  of  summer The  aluminum  skin  of  our  little  boat  is  leeching  the  coolness  of  the  lake  water  into  my  back  and  into  the  soles  of  my  feet.  It  feels  good.  I  look  up  and  can  make  out,  at  the  edge  of  my  vision,  my  mom,  my  sister  and  my  brother.  But  mostly  I  see  sky.  End-­of-­the-­day  sky.  Not  much  blue  remains.  It  holds  no  clouds.  No  early  evening  stars.  No  moon.  It  is  full  of  nothing,  nothing  to  hold  my  gaze,  yet  hold  it  does.  My  eight-­year-­old  mind  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  wonder  how  or  why.  I  just  stare.

I  wonder  too  how  long  I  have  to  stay  out  in  the  boat,  waiting.  I  look  again  at  my  mom.  Is  she  worried,  or  mad?  I  think  about  how  my  brother  and  I  tricked  her  earlier  in  the  day.  She  was  cleaning  in  the  kitchen  but  had  her  soap  opera  on  in  the  other  room.  Todd  and  I  changed  the  chan-­ nel  to  watch  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dark  Shadows,â&#x20AC;?  a  show  we  tried  to  catch  even  on  beautiful  days  at  the  cabin.  My  mom  barked  at  us  to  turn  the  channel  back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  even  watching,â&#x20AC;?  Todd  and  I  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  listening.â&#x20AC;?

Letters to the Editor Many  reasons  for  teacher  turnover While  I  appreciate  the  interest  of  the  news  media  in  what  is  happen-­ ing  in  our  schools,  it  is  important  WR SURYLGH FODUL¿FDWLRQ RI ZKDW KDV actually  happened  in  the  Monkton  Central  School  community  so  that  balanced  reporting  and  commentary  about  school  affairs  will  occur.

The  statement  that  a  large  group  faculty  resignation  occurred  at  the  June  13,  2013,  Monkton  School  District  monthly  meeting  (Addison  Independent,  June  17)  is  false  and  misleading.  What  is  factual  is  that  one  resignation  was  approved  by  the  Monkton  Central  School  Board  that  allowed  a  teacher  to  be  released  from  a  signed  contract  to  allow  the  long-­serving  faculty  member  to  pursue  a  professional  opportunity  in  a  nearby  school  district.

Since  February  there  has  been  a  larger  than  usual  number  of  fac-­ ulty  turnover  at  MCS.  A  review  of  the  record  will  show  that  faculty  changes  were  well  known  and  took  place  over  a  period  of  time.  These  individual  decisions  occurred  for  a  variety  of  reasons  and  were  affected  by  Reduction  in  Force  actions,  re-­ tirements,  voluntary  reassignment  to  other  areas  of  professional  interest  and  out  of  state  relocation.  With  the  exception  of  one  grade-­level  teacher  who  expressed  a  strained  relation-­ ship  with  the  administration,  these  personnel  matters  to  my  knowledge  were  not  related  to  current  climate  concerns  or  communications  with  the  building  administrator.

The  school  year  ended  with  a  warm  and  friendly  promotion  cer-­ emony  for  graduating  sixth-­graders.  As  they  have  been  doing  for  the  past  month,  faculty  members  are  work-­ ing  side  by  side  with  the  principal  in  candidate  interview  teams  to  add  talented  teachers  to  the  existing  talented  teacher  corps  at  MCS. It  is  important  for  the  public  to  know  that  the  school  board  and  administration  take  the  concerns  regarding  school  climate  and  staff-­ administration  relationships  raised  by  faculty,  parents  and  community  members  seriously.  That  is  why  the  board  organized  a  special  meeting  on  May  16  to  listen  and  hear  con-­ cerns  of  these  stakeholders  and  the  DGPLQLVWUDWLRQ WRRN VSHFL¿F SRVLWLYH actions  to  respond  to  concerns  ex-­ pressed  at  the  meeting.

Forty-­odd  years  later  it  gets  harder  and  harder  to  glimpse  that  particu-­ lar  early  evening  summer  sky.  If  I  was  still  eight  I  could  see  it  every  day  but  now  summers  seem  just  as  busy  as  the  other  seasons.  Always  over-­scheduled.  Too  rushed.  We  sat  down  at  my  house  recently  with  a  FDOHQGDU DQG DIWHU ZH ÂżQLVKHG ÂżOO-­ ing  it  in  with  camps  and  trips  and  preseason  sports  and  obligations  I  announced  that  summer  was  already  over.  Cancelled.  But  I  know  that  sky  is  out  there.  I  saw  it  last  summer.  , ZDV Ă&#x20AC;RDWLQJ RQ P\ EDFN LQ /DNH Dunmore.  It  was  there,  the  same  one.  Filled  with  promise.

To  further  clarify,  ANEDA,  the  teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  association,  made  the  request  for  the  TELL  survey  to  be  placed  on  the  board  agenda  and  was  redirected  to  follow  well-­established  protocols  to  resolve  concerns  at  the  source  and  move  the  concern  up  the  chain  if  the  concerns  remained  unre-­ solved.  What  is  not  publicly  known  is  that  at  a  recent  meeting  with  Principal  Stewart  and  two  ANEDA  representatives  who  are  teachers  at  Monkton  Central  School,  the  teach-­ ers  expressed  that  important  areas  of  common  interest  are  school  climate,  discipline  and  math  instruction  and  expressed  positive  feelings  that  the  faculty  and  administration  can  work  together  and  move  forward.  I  encourage  this  collaborative  and  constructive  approach  to  continue  IRU WKH EHQHÂżW RI RXU VWXGHQWV David  P.  Adams, Superintendent Addison  Northeast Supervisory  Union Bristol Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  note:  Our  correction  on  Page  3A  acknowledges  that  Mon-­ dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Independent  incorrectly  left  the  impression  that  all  nine  of  the  edu-­ cators  leaving  the  school  resigned  last  week,  and  points  out  that  they  indicated  they  were  leaving  over  the  course  of  several  months.

Then  in  December,  Wulfmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  patients  received  another  letter  from  Neshobe  Family  Practice,  saying  that  Wulfman  had  left  the  practice  per-­ manently  and  would  be  seeing  pri-­ mary  care  patients  only  via  Mountain  Health  in  Bristol.  It  also  made  clear  that  the  other  doctors  at  Neshobe  would  not  be  treating  Lyme  patients.

Contacted  for  comment  on  this  issue,  Wulfman  declined  to  do  an  interview  about  his  reasons  for  leav-­ ing  Neshobe  Family  Practice,  saying  only  this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  went  from  doing  full-­time  pri-­ mary  care  and  consultation  of  pa-­ tients  with  chronic  complex  illness,  including  tick-­borne  disease,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  now  doing  part-­time  pri-­ mary  care  only  for  both  personal  and  professional  reasons,  and  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  leave  it  at  that.â&#x20AC;?

Erb  and  Whelan  now  travel  250  miles  to  Hyde  Park,  N.Y.,  as  patients  of  Dr.  Richard  Horowitz,  a  leading  physician  in  the  treatment  of  chronic  Lyme.

As  for  Luke,  his  health  has  been  good.  He  has  been  off  antibiotics  for  18  months  and  is  on  a  balanced  regime  that  includes  Chinese  herbal  supplements,  plenty  of  sleep,  and  no  gluten,  sugar  or  dairy.  Still,  his  par-­ HQWV DUH SUHSDUHG IRU WKH QH[W Ă&#x20AC;DUH up  of  symptoms,  which  they  know  will  come  again,  and  in  the  mean-­ time  are  hoping  the  medical  estab-­ lishment  will  adjust  to  the  needs  of  a  growing  population  of  chronic  Lyme  patients â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  is  a  lot  of  judgment,â&#x20AC;?  Re-­ becca  Zelis  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  operating  in  a  system  that  does  not  support  us.  Medically,  educationally,  and  cultur-­ ally,  there  needs  to  be  more  room  for  all  people  struggling  with  Lyme.â&#x20AC;?

The  southbound  left-­hand  turn  lane  on  Route  7  would  be  extended  80  feet  to  a  total  of  167  feet,  a  move  that  Schulz  said  would  allow  â&#x20AC;&#x153;stor-­ DJH URRP´ IRU WUDIÂżF WR EDFN XS DQG give  cars  a  chance  to  slow  down  as  they  approach  from  the  north.  The  northbound  left-­turn  lane  is  also  being  extended  in  the  preliminary  design,  from  135  to  160  feet.

No  pedestrian  improvements,  such  as  sidewalks  or  crosswalks,  are  included  in  the  draft  design,  but  Schulz  said  the  control  boxes  that  VTrans  will  install  will  have  the  technology  to  provide  for  those  ad-­ ditions  at  a  later  date  if  Ferrisburgh  DQG 97UDQV RIÂżFLDOV DJUHH XSRQ further  changes  to  the  intersection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  making  sure  our  design Â

A  free  educational  workshop  on  how  to  help  make  the  most  of  your  retirement  income  will  be  held  on  Tuesday,  June  25,  at  7  p.m.,  at  the  Middlebury  Community  House  at  6  Main  St.  Sponsored  by  Finan-­ cial  Adviser  Sage  Bahre  of  The  Vermont  Agency,  the  workshop  will  provide  information  regard-­ ing  accessing  oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  retirement  accumulations,  plan  distribu-­ tion  rules  and  investment  strat-­ egies  for  stability  and  income.  Attendees  will  receive  a  20-­page  workbook  on  retirement  income  strategies,  including  information  and  exercises  to  help  protect  in-­ come  and  assets  from  unforeseen  events.  To  register  for  this  free  workshop  call  802-­861-­7987,  or  email  bahre_sage@nlvmail.com.

Those  sidewalks  could  be  placed  on  â&#x20AC;&#x153;any  leg  of  the  intersection,â&#x20AC;?  Schulz  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  will  work  with  the  town,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

The  initial  design  does  not  in-­ clude  any  changes  to  the  width  of  the  three  roads,  and  it  includes  repaving  the  intersection  to  the  extent  of  the  left-­turn  lanes  north  and  south  on  Route  7  and  for  some  distance  on  both  of  the  town  roads.

Rep.  Diane  Lanpher,  D-­Ver-­ gennes,  who  worked  with  the  FCS  class  that  successfully  lobbied  law-­ makers  to  request  that  VTrans  study  the  intersection,  told  the  meeting  she  would  continue  to  work  on  the  projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  behalf  if  necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  watching  it,â&#x20AC;?  said  Lanpher,  a  member  of  the  House  Transporta-­ tion  Committee.

Schultz  said  the  pupils  had  played  a  role  in  moving  the  light  project  forward,  and  that  they  were  proven  correct  when  VTrans  stud-­ ied  the  intersection  and  determined  WKDW LW ÂłGHÂżQLWHO\ ZDUUDQWHG´ OLJKWV â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  lot  of  credit  for  this  project  does  go  to  some  6th-­grade  stu-­ dents,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

But  Lawrence  later  reminded  Schultz  and  two  other  members  of  his  design  team  at  the  meeting  that  selectboard  members  had  been  making  the  same  point  for  a  decade  about  the  intersection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  selectboard  has  been  ask-­ ing  for  this  project  for  10  years,â&#x20AC;?  Lawrence  said.

they  authorized  the  launch  of  the  program.â&#x20AC;?

FULL  ENGAGEMENT Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  environmental  stud-­ ies  program,  launched  in  1965,  was  WKH ÂżUVW SURJUDP LQ WKH 8QLWHG 6WDWHV to  offer  a  major.  Trombulak  points  to  its  studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  varied  accomplish-­ ments  throughout  the  decades.  The  collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  recycling  program,  for  ex-­ DPSOH ZDV D ÂżQDO SURMHFW IURP WKH ÂżUVW \HDU RI WKH GHSDUWPHQWÂśV KDQGV on  senior  seminar,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;ES  0401.â&#x20AC;?

Trombulak  said  great  pains  had  been  taken  to  ensure  that  the  School  of  the  Environment  does  not  simply  replicate  what  the  department  does  during  the  academic  year.  Students  in  the  inaugural  program  will  have  three  courses:  an  interdisciplinary  ¿HOG VWXG\ D VNLOOV EDVHG SUDFWLFXP and  an  advanced  elective  with  an  international  and  global  emphasis.  Mentors  and  speakers  who  are  ex-­ perts  in  environmental  sustainability  across  a  variety  of  sectors  including  EXVLQHVV JRYHUQPHQW DQG QRQSURÂżW will  be  invited  to  campus  to  mentor  the  students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What  makes  this  program  differ-­ ent  from  anything  we  do  here,  and  from  any  competing  program  out  there,  is  that  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  have, Â

in  addition  to  the  content,  a  strong  focus  on  leadership  skills,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything  that  they  do  in  the  class-­ room  is  then  going  to  be  put  into  the  context  of,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK,  now  what  are  you  going  to  do  with  this  information?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  You  have  this  skill  set,  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  talking  to  these  short-­term  guest  resi-­ dents,  mentors  if  you  will,  how  is  it  that  you  would  mount  a  response  to  the  information  that  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  JLYHQ ZKHWKHU LW LV Ă&#x20AC;RRGLQJ LQ %DQ-­ gladesh  or  global  warming  or  world  food  production  or  the  importance  of  GMOs  for  increasing  production  but  the  risk  of  ecological  collapse.â&#x20AC;?

Trombulak  believes  that  given  the  range  and  importance  of  issues  that  a  study  of  the  environment  will  bring  students  into  contact  with,  a  solid  skill  set  to  take  action  across  a  va-­ riety  of  institutions  and  sectors  is  a  necessary  component  of  higher  edu-­ cation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  that  in  the  21st  century,  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  real  need  for  educators  ev-­ erywhere  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  not  just  Middlebury  but  everywhere  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  to  be  thinking  about  deliberately  giving  students  the  tools  to  do  something  with  the  knowledge  â&#x20AC;Ś  What  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  trying  to  do  is  teach  students  how  to  be  effective  agents  of  change.â&#x20AC;?

College (Continued  from  Page  1A) we  are  also  preeminent  in  environ-­ mental  studies  â&#x20AC;Ś  Of  all  of  the  col-­ legeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  areas  of  preeminence,  the  study  of  the  environment  is  the  one  that  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  an  immersive  pro-­ gram.  We  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  a  summer  pro-­ gram,  we  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  a  study  abroad  program.â&#x20AC;?

Now,  that  will  change.  In  2010,  Dean  of  Environmental  Affairs  Nan  Jenks-­Jay  decided  that  the  time  was  right  to  propose  the  idea  of  a  sum-­ mer  environmental  studies  program  again  (back  in  the  1990s,  Tombulak  said,  the  timing  was  wrong  for  a  number  of  reasons).  Trombulak  and  Jenks-­Jay  met  with  Michael  Geisler,  vice  president  for  Language  Schools,  Schools  Abroad  and  Graduate  Pro-­ grams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geisler  loved  the  idea,â&#x20AC;?  said  Trombulak,  who  re-­emphasized  the  collaboration  among  people  in  many  departments  that  made  the  School  of  the  Environment  a  possibility  throughout  an  interview  on  Tuesday.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;So  from  late  2010  until  this  May  ZH NHSW ÂżQH WXQLQJ WKH SURSRVDO and  considering  all  the  angles  until  we  had  every  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  dotted  and  every  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  crossed,  took  the  proposal  to  the  trustees  at  their  May  meeting  and Â
