Real Estate and You

KITCHEN ADDITIONS FOR MODERN HOMES Homeowners are increasingly choosing to upgrade the rooms in their homes instead of adding on to the existing structure, which adds considerable value to the home’s value when it’s time to list it for sale. Maximizing on the available space is an economi-­ cally practical way to add value DQG D XQLTXH ÀRXULVK WR WKH KRPH while saving the owner time and stress. The kitchen is one of the central hubs of any house, and it’s a perfect place to start up-­ grading—calling all cooks to the kitchen! Surprisingly low in added cost, refrigerators with built-­in television or internet in-­ stallations are both eye-­catching and functional and available at national home improvement and electronics retailers. LG Elec-­ tronics, whose 15-­inch LCD door television and an Internet refrig-­ erator retails at around $3,150, allows entertainment and web access during mealtimes, cook-­ ing times or midnight snacking.

Tune in to Food Network or HG TV and cook along with the pros!

Triple door refrigerators combine traditional French doors on the top and a large, deep one-­drawer pull-­out freezer on the bottom, allowing easy access to the items used most frequently and handy storage for lesser used items ZLWKRXW VDFUL¿FLQJ SULPH IULGJH real estate. Food prep sinks aren’t just for professionals any-­ more, either, and don’t require WKH VDFUL¿FH RI SUHFLRXV FRXQWHU space. Prep sinks maximize the NLWFKHQ¶V ZRUNÀRZ DQG DUH LGHDO for cooks who prefer to clean as they go, as they allow a dedicated sink for preparation and another for washing up.

I  ran,  the  ground  dug  into  my  bare  feet,  cutting  me,  shredding  my  skin  with  its  rugged  fury.  It  was  unclear,  of  what  I  was  running  from.  For  all  I  knew,  it  was  me.  The  words  were  untrue,  and  yet  I  felt  them  clutching  my  thoughts  roughly.

I  kept  running,  and  ahead,  some-­ thing  was  wrong.  Each  step  brought  me  closer  to  this  unknown  territory.  It  was  frightening,  what  I  saw,  an  agony  of  my  past.  I  wanted  to  stop,  to  run  back  to  where  I  had  come  from,  to  get  away  from  this  place.  But  it  was  dragging  me  forward,  and  no  matter  how  hard  I  struggled,  it  held  on.  It  was  impossible  to  escape  this  suffocating  grasp.  Then  there  was  only  one  step  between  me  and  whatever  lay  ahead.  I  knew  then,  that  I  could  not  turn  back,  that  this  was  the  end.  I  remembered  then,  just  a  minute  before,  as  if  I  were  running  from Â

something  so  real.  I  was  escaping  from  my  own  fear,  I  realized.  If  I  had  just  paused,  and  thought  about  running  back  to  what  I  had  left,  just  one  moment  before  the  realization  had  hit  me,  maybe  those  images  would  still  be  what  I  saw.  When  I  knew  I  was  too  late,  I  decided  to  embrace  this  frightening  knowl-­ edge.  I  leaped  into  the  air,  and  I  allowed  it  to  caress  me,  to  pull  me  down,  even  farther  away  from  the  beauty.  And  then  I  saw  the  sun,  slowly  peeking  its  head  up  from  its  hiding  place  beyond  the  horizon.  It  lit  up  my  face,  and  the  world  slid  through  that  tiny  funnel  of  light.  It  swirled,  all  the  colors  of  the  sunrise,  and  sunset,  the  colors  of  the  world  as  I  once  knew  it.  In  that  image  in  my  mind,  I  lifted  my  eyes  to  the  sky,  where  the  sun  glowed,  silently,  and  I  knew,  I  was  just  one  second  too  late.

Blinking Away Stars

BY  HANNAH  FREEDNER GRADE  7,  LAKE  CHAMPLAIN  WALDORF  SCHOOL They  thought  the  stars  Blinked,  those Foolish  humans.  They Thought  they  understood  the  stars.

They  watched  those  lights  In  the  dark  sky,  with  such A  bland  energy.  Of  course, The  stars  wished  for  more  than  that.

It  was  a  tiresome  life,  to Wait  for  every  night,  When  maybe,  just Maybe, Someone  would  notice  who  they Truly  were.

After exiting the dairy industry we have transitioned into growing produce for market and creating handcrafted items. We are entering our 4th year of growing produce.

Handcrafted items have been available for 7 years at various farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets and businesses. This year we hope to have our gift shop open for the Fall season.

We start the season with fresh vegetables, picked daily and available through the Fall. With Fall comes pumpkins, mums and Fall decorations, ending the season with Christmas trees, wreaths and kissing balls. Handcrafted products consist of wooden LWHPV Ă HHFH PLWWHQV EODQNHWV DQG PDQ\ PDQ\ PRUH VHZQ items.

We offer quality produce and handcrafted items, as well as locally produced maple syrup, honey, apples, cider, Christmas trees and wreaths at a reasonable prices.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  going  around By  MICHAEL  CSASZAR,  MD Medical  professionals  around  Addison  County  are  seeing  increasing  numbers  of  patients  with  tick  bites.  This  means  increasing  concerns  about  Lyme  disease.  Spring  is  an  important  time  of  year  to  remember  some  basic  facts  about  ticks  and  Lyme  disease  in  order  to  protect  yourself,  your  family,  and  our  communities: Â&#x2021; /\PH GLVHDVH LV D EDFWHULDO infection  transmitted  solely  by  the  deer  tick.  Other  ticks  and  insects  do  not  transmit  Lyme  disease. Â&#x2021; ,W LV UDUH WR GHYHORS /\PH disease  unless  the  tick  was  attached  IRU DW OHDVW KRXUV Â&#x2021; 3UHYHQWLRQ LV WKH EHVW PHGLFLQH check  for  ticks  after  outdoor  activities,  wear  protective  clothing,  and  use  tick  repellents  on  skin  and  clothing. Â&#x2021; 7LFN UHSHOOHQWV FRQWDLQLQJ DEET  can  be  sprayed  on  the  skin  and  clothing,  and  permethrin  can  be  applied  to  clothing  to  prevent  tick  bites.

How  should  I  remove  a  tick?

Everybody  seems  to  know  a  different  way  to  remove  a  tick.  Petroleum  jelly,  nail  polish,  alcohol  and  hot  matches  are  just  a  few  of  the  tricks  people  try.  In  truth,  the  best  way  to  remove  a  tick  is  using  tweezers  or  small  forceps.  If  you  do  not  have  tweezers,  then  use  paper  or  FORWK WR SURWHFW \RXU ÂżQJHUV Â&#x2021; *UDE WKH WLFN DV FORVH WR WKH VNLQ as  possible.

Â&#x2021; ,I PRXWKSDUWV UHPDLQ LQ WKH VNLQ after  tick  removal,  leave  them  alone  as  they  almost  always  fall  out  on  their  own.

Is  it  skin  irritation  or  a  Lyme  rash?

One  of  the  most  common  concerns  raised  by  patients  is  the  local  redness  usually  seen  in  the  hours  after  removing  a  tick.  This  early  irritation  is  from  the  tick  saliva,  and  similar  to  what  you  see  after  a  typical  insect  bite.  Rash  due  to  Lyme  disease  occurs  at  the  site  RI WKH WLFN ELWH XVXDOO\ VHYHQ WR days  after  the  bite,  but  can  range  IURP WKUHH WR GD\V 5HPHPEHU ticks  that  are  attached  for  less  than  KRXUV DOPRVW QHYHU WUDQVPLW Lyme  disease.

When  should  I  get  treated  with  antibiotics?

Only  your  doctor  or  provider  can Â

determine  if  antibiotics  are  needed.  Often  this  means  you  need  to  be  seen  LQ WKH RI¿FH 6RPHWLPHV ZH PD\ give  you  a  single  dose  of  antibiotics  to  prevent  infection.  Other  times  we  may  give  you  several  days  of  antibiotics  to  treat  Lyme  disease.

Please  remember  that  in  the  vast  majority  of  cases  of  tick  bites,  antibiotics  are  not  necessary.  In  order  to  avoid  unnecessary  antibiotic  use,  and  the  increasing  problem  of  antibiotic  resistance,  it  is  important  to  work  with  your  provider  to  determine  if  and  when  to  use  antibiotics.   Where  can  I  get  more  information?  The  family  of  Porter  primary  care  clinics  is  here  to  help  you.  <RX FDQ DOVR ¿QG LQIRUPDWLRQ RQ the  Vermont  Department  of  Health:  http://www.healthvermont.gov.

and  requisite  evening  meeting  com-­ mitments  were  off-­putting  to  some  prospective  applicants.

It  also  took  three  tries  for  Conley  to  land  an  ACSU  business  manager  after  an  initial  hire  died  tragically  and  the  second  stopped  showing  up  to  work.  Laura  Nassau  has  been  serving  as  business  manager  since  February  of  2012.

Conley  said  assembling  a  full  staff  and  seeing  it  work  well  together  is  perhaps  his  favorite  accomplishment  of  his  two-­year  tenure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  easiest  part  of  my  job  was  helping  these  very  talented  folks  work  together,â&#x20AC;?  Conley  said,  refer-­ ring  to  all  levels  of  administration  functioning  in  the  ACSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  seven  el-­ ementary  schools,  high  school,  mid-­ GOH VFKRRO DQG FHQWUDO RIÂżFH Âł7KDW translates  into  support  for  teachers,  which  helps  students  do  their  best  work.â&#x20AC;?

Asked  what  advice  he  would  give  in  passing  the  torch  to  Burrows,  Con-­ ley  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  need  an  appreciation  for  small  communities  and  multiple  boards.  Each  of  the  communities  has  a  unique  personality  and  each  of  the  schools  has  a  unique  personality.â&#x20AC;?

And  Conley  said  that  uniqueness  among  schools  should  be  respected  and  nurtured.

At  the  same  time,  he  acknowl-­ edged  the  work  of  the  ACSU  Study  Committee  in  considering  some  po-­ tential  governance  consolidations  to  lessen  district  bureaucracy  and  create  more  collaboration  among  schools  to  save  money.  Some  com-­ munity  members  are  concerned  that  governance  consolidations  could Â

become  a  precursor  to  some  school  closings,  considering  student  enroll-­ ment  in  most  regions  of  Vermont  is  declining.

Conley  anticipates  a  majority  of  Middlebury-­area  parents  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  en-­ dorse  closing  and  consolidating  lo-­ cal  schools.  And  he  agrees  with  that  position,  believing  less  dramatic  changes  could  be  implemented  to  produce  cost  savings  short  of  closing  schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  complicated  supervisory  union  in  Middlebury  recognizes  the  value  of  smalls  towns  and  school  boards,â&#x20AC;?  Conley  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  value  that  people  like  and  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  give  up.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  intrigued  by  the  notion  of  creating  one  school  board  to  gov-­ ern  the  seven  elementary  schools  in  ACSU  member  towns  of  Middle-­ bury,  Bridport,  Cornwall,  Ripton,  Salisbury,  Shoreham  and  Weybridge.  This  would  reduce  bureaucracy  and  lead  to  a  more  universal  supervision  of  programs  in  all  of  the  elementary  schools,  according  to  Conley.

As  a  resident  of  nearby  Hunting-­ ton,  Conley  will  continue  to  watch  ACSU  activities  with  interest  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  but  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  do  it  without  having  to  attend  three  or  four  evening  meetings  per  week.  At  70,  Conley  still  looks  for-­ ward  to  harvesting  wood  from  his  property  to  stoke  his  outdoor  boiler.  He  and  his  family  have  no  big  travel  plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  love  it  in  Huntington,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  like  being  at  home;Íž  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  to  go  anyplace.â&#x20AC;?

for  dealing  with  the  two  bridges.  He  released  the  six  options  on  Tuesday,  along  with  their  potential  price  tags,  DV ZHOO DV WKHLU SURV DQG FRQV 1.  Doing  nothing.  This  option  will  be  quickly  eliminated  because  it  does  not  satisfy  local,  state  and  fed-­ eral  requirements  for  the  bridges.

2.  Repairing  the  bridges,  at  a  cost  RI DURXQG PLOOLRQ 9+% RIÂżFLDOV see  no  advantages  to  this  scenario,  which  they  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  believe  could  meet  state  and  federal  standards.

3.  Replacing  the  two  spans  with  a  concrete  tunnel,  providing  a  vertical  clearance  of  20  feet,  9  inches  (requir-­ ing  special  permission),  at  a  cost  of  around  $14.6  million.  The  tunnel,  Colgan  said,  would  give  the  down-­ WRZQ VRPH H[WUD VXUIDFH DUHD E\ ¿OO-­ ing  in  the  space  between  Triangle  Park  and  the  town  green.  The  disad-­ vantage  is  that  it  would  not  provide  the  full  23  feet  of  vertical  clearance  requested  by  federal  authorities.

4.  Replacing  the  two  bridges  with  new  spans,  at  a  cost  of  around  $13.1  million  in  a  manner  that  would  pro-­ vide  20  feet,  9  inches  of  vertical  clearance.  This  would  accommodate  double-­stack  rail  cars,  but  not  meet  the  23-­foot  clearance  threshold.

5.  Replacing  the  bridges  with  a  tunnel,  at  a  cost  of  $17.4  million,  which  would  meet  the  23-­foot  ver-­ tical  clearance  mandate.  But  this  is  a  project  that  Colgan  said  would  require  a  water  (drainage)  pumping  system  and  could  require  some  mod-­ L¿FDWLRQV WR WKH (OP 6WUHHW UDLOURDG overpass  located  up  the  track.

6.  Replacing  both  bridges  in  a  manner  that  would  allow  23  feet  of  vertical  clearance,  at  a  cost  of  ap-­ proximately  $15.9  million.  This  project,  too,  would  require  a  pump-­ ing  system  and  possibly  some  Elm  6WUHHW RYHUSDVV PRGL¿FDWLRQV DF-­ cording  to  Colgan.

Whatever  project  is  picked  and  ap-­ proved  will  receive  100  percent  state  and  federal  funding.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  already  becoming  clear  that  the  selected  project  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  whether  tun-­ nel  or  new  bridges  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  will  involve  a Â

lot  of  concrete.

Colgan  outlined  a  construction  method  that  will  involve  dropping  6-­foot-­long,  pre-­fabricated  concrete  sections  into  the  project  corridor.  If  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  tunnel,  they  would  be  concrete  boxes;Íž  if  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  bridge,  they  would  be  U-­shaped  sections.  Colgan  said  the  concrete  would  be  reinforced  and  2  feet  thick.

Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  meeting  drew  more  than  60  people,  many  of  whom  weighed  in  on  the  project  options  through  an  electronic  survey.  Those  results  indicated  majority  support  for  a  tunnel  solution.  Most  respondents  said  they  were  especially  concerned  about  how  construction  might  tem-­ porarily  impede  access  to  downtown  businesses.

Residents  listened  with  inter-­ est  to  the  VHB  presentation  and  voiced  some  trepidations,  includ-­ ing  whether  a  tunnel  might  provide  an  hangout  for  drug  users,  whether  the  heavy  construction  work  might  damage  nearby  St.  Stephenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Epis-­ copal  Church,  and  whether  the  tun-­ nel  surface  would  be  strong  enough  to  withstand  an  earthquake  and/or  a  permanent  stop  for  the  ACTR  bus.

Colgan  acknowledged  the  poten-­ tial  for  a  tunnel  to  provide  cover  for  illegal  activities,  something  the  town  would  have  to  police.  He  said  he  was  FRQ¿GHQW D WXQQHO ZRXOG VWDQG XS WR WUXFN WUDI¿F EXVHV DQG 0RWKHU 1D-­ ture.

He  laid  out  a  schedule  calling  for  selection  of  a  preferred  project  op-­ tion  by  the  end  of  this  month,  which  will  be  the  subject  of  another  pub-­ lic  meeting  next  month.  If  endorsed  E\ WRZQ RI¿FLDOV WKH SURMHFW ZRXOG move  on  to  design  while  the  neces-­ sary  permits  are  secured  for  work  to  begin  next  April.

Darik  Knutsen  as  Eugene  Onegin  is  a  girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  worst  nightmare.  Tall,  dark,  handsome  and  disinterested,  Mr.  Knutsen  uses  his  powerful  baritone  as  a  weap-­ on  in  his  casual  rejection  of  Tatiana  and  is  so  con-­ vincing  in  his  self  absorption  that  his  comeuppance  at  the  end  of  the  work  is  marvelously  satisfying.

To  play  the  role  of  Tatiana  all  you  need  to  have  is  an  amazing  soprano  voice,  be  very  lovely  to  look  at,  have  the  capability  of  expressing  a  vast  expanse  of  human  emotion  with  depth  and  sincerity  and,  RK \HV SHUIRUP WKDW PLQXWH DULD VRPH RI LW Ă&#x20AC;DW on  your  back.  The  marvelous  Suzanne  Kantorski-­ Merrill  does  all  that  with  grace.  She  charms  and  thrills  with  her  wonderful  soprano  voice  and  her  elegant  stage  presence.

Throughout  her  abject  youthful  humiliation  at  her  impulsive  expression  of  love  for  Onegin,  she  maintains  a  dignity  that  gives  credulity  to  her  later  strong  sense  of  self.  The  night  was  hers!

Dawn  Pierceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Olga  brings  an  easygoing  sen-­ suality  to  her  role,  which  contrasts  wonderfully  with  the  more  tormented  passion  of  her  sister,  Tatiana.  Lisa  Chavez  as  the  mother,  Madame  La-­ rina,  brings  a  lovely  warmth  and  gravitas  to  the  evening.  Erik  Kroncke,  a  returning  artist  to  OCM  is  solid  and  very  endearing  as  Tatianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  adoring  husband,  and  Brad  Raymond  amuses  and  charms  with  his  lovely  performance  as  the  old  French-­ man,  Monsieur  Triquet.  A  highlight  among  all  these  marvelous  supporting  performers  is  Jenni  %DQN DV WKH QXUVH :LWK KHU ULFK FRQÂżGHQW PH]-­ zo  soprano  she  goes  for  laughs  but  still  provides Â

Staying  on  makes  sense  to  Woods,  who  said  she  began  teaching  at  the  HOHPHQWDU\ VFKRRO OHYHO ÂżYH GHFDGHV ago  for  one  central  reason.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  always  had  summer  jobs  with  kids.  It  was  always  kids,  kids,  kids,â&#x20AC;?  Woods  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  just  working  with  kids  I  found  fascinating.â&#x20AC;?

That  is  what  kept  her  in  the  pro-­ fession,  and  is  why  she  is  not  simply  walking  away.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  why  I  stayed  in  so  long,  because  of  the  kids,â&#x20AC;?  Woods  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  why  â&#x20AC;Ś  I  am  so  excited  about  the  fact  â&#x20AC;Ś  next  year  I  am  volunteer-­ ing.â&#x20AC;?

In  a  perfect  world,  Woods  might  not  retire  at  all.  But  she  is  a  longtime  multiple  sclerosis  patient,  and  last  fall  she  also  learned  she  has  a  heart  problem.  Woods  said  medication  for  the  new  condition  has  slowed  her.  Meanwhile,  the  VUES  enrollment,  like  that  at  other  schools,  has  been  dropping:  Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  job  was  cut.  As  the  senior  teacher,  she  could  remain  on  the  payroll,  but  that  would  mean  a  co-­worker  would  lose  a  job.  All  things  considered,  and  with  Sargent  willing  to  create  a  unique  volunteer  arrangement,  Woods  de-­ cided  the  time  was  right.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last  fall  I  found  out  I  had  a  heart  condition.  Who  knew?â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;So  I  have  all  these  things,  which  is  part  of  the  reason  I  said  OK.  And  they  cut  my  job.  And  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  take  anybody  elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  job.  So  I  said  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time.  My  bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  telling  me  some-­ thing  here.â&#x20AC;?

But  Woods  declined  to  take  the  Addison  Northwest  Supervisory  Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  early  retirement  package  because  it  â&#x20AC;&#x153;would  be  like  being  paid  to  not  work.â&#x20AC;?  Nor  did  she  want  regu-­ larly  scheduled  part-­time  work.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  want  to  be  free  and  clear  and  be  here  at  times  that  are  good  for  me  physically  and  to  really  sense  how  I  can  be  of  use,â&#x20AC;?  Woods  said.

7KDW ZDV ÂżQH ZLWK 6DUJHQW ZKR praised  Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  â&#x20AC;&#x153;enthusiasm  and  gung-­ho  positive  attitudeâ&#x20AC;?  and  said  Woods  would  be  an  asset  when  the  ¿QH SRLQWV DUH ZRUNHG RXW IRU KHU volunteer  program  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  for  which  Woods  will  provide  thousands  of  books  and  Legos  she  owns.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  looking  forward  to  hav-­ ing  her  come  back  and  provide  some  enrichment  activities  for  kids,â&#x20AC;?  Sar-­ gent  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  really  havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  worked  out  any  details  yet,  other  than  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  committed  a  space  for  her  and  sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  packed  some  of  her  stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Former  VUES  Principal  Sandy  Bassett,  who  worked  with  Woods  for  more  than  a  decade,  also  gave  her  high  marks.  Bassett  said  Woods  helped  the  administration  use  school-­ wide  test  results  to  shore  up  educa-­ tional  weak  points,  and  he  cited  her  advanced  technical  knowledge  and  her  dedication  to  uncovering  and  using  â&#x20AC;&#x153;new  and  contemporary  meth-­ odsâ&#x20AC;?  in  her  classroom.  More  than  anything,  Bassett  point-­ ed  to  Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  dedication  to  her  stu-­ dents.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;She  loved  to  teach  and  loved  the  kids,â&#x20AC;?  Bassett  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teaching  was  her  life.  She  will  tell  you  that.â&#x20AC;?

In  fact,  Woods  did  so.  She  could  not  pick  out  any  highlights  from  KHU RQH \HDU DV D 98(6 ÂżUVW JUDGH teacher,  her  decade  spent  both  as  a  part-­time  art  teacher  at  VUES  and  a  part-­time  photography  teacher  at  Vergennes  Union  High  School,  her Â
