Editorial

Bill  promoting  vaccinations  deserves  public  support With  several  cases  of  measles  occurring  in  the  state  last  year,  there  is  an  increasing  risk  that  continuing  philosophical  exemptions  to  vaccinations  could  put  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  public  school  children  in  harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  way.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  because  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  vaccination  rate  is  coming  close  to  90  percent,  a  dangerous  ter-­ ritory  because  below  that  rate  is  when  contagious  diseases  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  like  measles,  mumps  and  small  pox  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  take  hold  and  spread.  A  bill  making  its  way  through  the  legislature  that  would  eliminate  phil-­ osophical  exemptions  is  gaining  steam  and  deserves  public  support.  State  Sen.  Kevin  Mullin,  R-­Rutland,  proposed  eliminating  the  philosophical  ex-­ emption  two  years  ago,  and  while  that  effort  failed,  he  has  launched  another  effort  this  session  and  is  championing  the  issue.  Ironically,  many  liberal  opponents  (not  anti-­government  conservatives)  are  the  ones  stealing  a  page  from  the  Libertarian  handbook  and  arguing  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  role  to  impose  government  mandates  to  vaccinate  our  children  before  they  enter  the  public  school  system.

Democrat  Gov.  Shumlin  counts  himself  in  that  club  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  with  a  caveat.  He  is  personally  in  favor  of  vaccinating  all  children  and  argues  the  state  should  redouble  its  efforts  to  educate  parents  about  the  safety  and  effectiveness  of  vaccination  (as  well  as  the  risk  to  a  childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  health  if  they  contract  measles,  mumps  or  small  pox),  but  he  agrees  the  state  should  stop  short  of  mandating  vaccination  for  all  Vermont  students.  There  is  little  rational  reasoning  behind  this  belief,  just  that  he  prefers  residents  accept  the  responsibility  of  making  the  intelligent  choice,  and  he  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  think  a  state  mandate  would  move  the  QHHGOH HQRXJK WR PDNH LW ZRUWK WKH ÂżJKW Others  disagree.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  someone  in  this  room  is  contagious  with  measles  right  now,â&#x20AC;?  said  pediatrician  Lou  DiNicola  at  a  Statehouse  news  conference,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;in  the  period  of  time  before  you  get  sick,  everyone  in  this  room  without  touching  each  other  could  get  the  measles  if  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  unvaccinated  or  if  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  not  had  the  disease.  It  is  as  infectious  or  more  infectious  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  in  fact,  more  infectious  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  than  Ebola,â&#x20AC;?  DiNicola  said.

DiNicola  and  other  doctors  argued  at  a  press  conference  earlier  this  month  that  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  current  laws  are  not  working  and  that  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time  to  eliminate  the  exemption  that  allows  parents  to  opt  out  of  vaccinations  for  philosophi-­ cal  reasons,  because  they  believe  vaccines  come  with  their  own  health  risks  or  other  downsides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  dealing  with  is  misinformation,â&#x20AC;?  DiNicola  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  law  ...reinforced  that  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  OK  to  make  this  decision  not  to  vaccinate  your  child  EDVHG RQ ZKDWHYHU \RX ÂżQG RXW LQ WKH ,QWHUQHW ´ **********  All  states  in  this  country  require  vaccinations  by  federal  statute,  but  states  are  also  allowed  to  grant  exemptions.  Mississippi,  for  example,  allows  ex-­ emptions,  but  only  for  medical  reasons.  They  have  a  99.7  vaccination  rate,  and  report  no  cases  of  measles.  Vermont  is  much  more  lenient  with  exemptions.  It  can  be  medical  or  what  is  essentially  personal  preference.  Consequently,  Vermont  has  21  public  schools  that  report  a  vaccination  rate  below  90  percent  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  percentage  that  medical  science  has  found  triggers  susceptibility.  Windham  Elementary  has  the  lowest  has  a  vaccination  rate  at  60  percent,  Ripton  is  fourth  lowest  at  TWO  FENCE  POSTS,  bound  together  by  barbed  wire,  stick  out  of  the  snow  along  Middle  Road  in  78.9  percent,  Lincoln  is  84.3  percent  and  Leicester  is  88.9  percent.

Stan  Lazarus  was  a  mentor,  activist I  am  so  happy  that  so  many  folks  are  writing  tributes  to  the  Lazarus  family.  I  started  working  for  Stan  at  the  old  building  when  I  was  in  the  seventh  grade.  Those  were  the  days  when  making  50  cents  an  hour  was  great.  I  continued  to  work  for  Stan  until  my  sophomore  year  in  college.

Stan  was  much  more  than  a  local  merchant.  He  was  truly  a  mentor  to  those  who  worked  for  and  with  him  and  a  town  activist  always  look-­ ing  out  for  the  betterment  of  the  community.  I  learned  a  tremendous  amount  during  my  years  at  Lazarus  and  ended  up  making  my  living  in  retail.  This  was  primarily  due  to  the  education  provided  me  by  Stan.

Sheldon  thanked  for  water  bill  vote I  would  like  to  thank  Rep.  Amy  Sheldon  for  her  vote  and  strong  support  for  H.35.  This  water  qual-­ ity  bill  passed  through  the  House  Fish,  Wildlife  &  Water  Resources  Committee  with  a  resounding  7-­2  vote,  with  Rep.  Terenzin  (Rutland)  and  Rep.  Willhoit  (St.  Johnsbury)  representing  the  opposing  votes.  This  bill  (pending,we  have  a  long  way  to  go)  gives  the  Agency  of  Natural  Resources  and  the  Agency  of  Agriculture  new  powers  with  rea-­ sonable  requirements  to  implement  and  enforce  the  clean  water  laws  in  the  state  of  Vermont.

The  goal  of  H.35  is  to  improve  our  water  quality  not  only  in  Lake  Champlain  but  all  waterways  in  Vermont.  This  bill  helps  to  achieve  the  Total  Maximum  Daily  Load  (TMDL)  plan  for  Lake  Champlain  and  implements  strategies  to  miti-­ gate  water  pollution  in  all  forms.  The  goal  is  to  help  reverse  the  cur-­ rent  trend  and  lead  Vermont  down  the  path  to  healthier  waters.

I  speak  for  the  senior  citizens  on  Social  Security  who  can  no  longer  give  more  and  more  to  school  bud-­ gets.  It  is  unfair  and  unethical  for  our  seniors  to  be  treated  with  such  disregard  and  lack  of  respect.  Do  we  tax  at  the  expense  of  our  citizens  so  those  who  want  and  expect  to  have  crumble  others  to  get  satisfac-­ tion  for  needs  that  are  unwarranted.  There  are  other  ways  to  obtain  goals  other  than  taxation.

The  cuts  made  by  the  school  board  are  appeasers  to  the  taxpay-­ ers  of  our  communities.  Cost  per  student  is  now  at  $16,300.66,  which  is  an  8  percent  increase.  When  asked  â&#x20AC;&#x153;What  would  you  do  if  the  taxpayers  said  that  only  $10,000  per  student  could  be  spent?â&#x20AC;?  Well,  states  the  business  manager,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;that  would  be  half  of  the  budget.â&#x20AC;?  Re-­ ally,  that  is  how  much  our  schools  DUH RYHUWD[HG 2WKHU VWDWHV GR QRW spend  this  amount.  This  school  board  does  not  have  the  realization  for  the  economi-­ cal  situation  of  our  area.  They  are  so  far  above  reality  that  they  do  not  know  how  to  come  back  into  reality.

I  believe  it  is  time  to  vote  down  the  school  budgets,  to  form  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;task  forceâ&#x20AC;?  of  taxpayers  to  cut  the  needed  items  down  to  be  able  to  pay  a  fair  and  reasonable  tax  while  giving  students  an  excellent  educa-­ tion.  Can  it  be  done?  You  bet  it  can.  And  when  the  pressure  is  put  on.  When  taxpayers  step  up  and  speak  up:  Enough.

He  was  born  in  New  York  City  in  1943,  the  son  of  Mary  Brewster  (Derby)  Morris  and  DuBois  Schanck  Morris  Jr.  He  was  educated  at  Darrow,  Blair  Academy,  and  at  Syracuse  University.  His  love  of  skiing  brought  him  to  Vermont,  where  he  practiced  architecture  for  many  years.  In  1977,  he  married  Pennie  Beach  and  they  lived  together  at  Basin  Harbor.

Peter  was  an  intensely  curious  man  whose  many  interests  included  food  and  wine,  gardening,  boating,  and  keeping  bees,  and  he  reveled  in  sharing  his  enthusiasm  with  all.  Throughout  his  brief  ordeal  with  pancreatic  cancer,  he  showed  great  equanimity  and  grace. Â

He  believed  that  heaven  is  here  on  earth  and  celebrated  every  day.

He  is  survived  by  his  wife,  Pennie;͞  his  children,  Hasket  and  Sarah  Morris;͞  siblings  Eloise  Clark,  George  Morris,  Diana  Raphael  and  Daniel  Morris;͞  and  his  dear  friend,  Nancy  Campbell.

Peter  was  grateful  for  his  care  from  the  Oncology  Department  at  the  University  of  Vermont  Medical  Center,  and  the  Addison  County  Home  Health  and  Hospice.  There  will  be  a  memorial  service  on  Saturday,  March  14,  2015,  at  11  a.m.,  at  the  Vergennes  Congregational  Church. ,Q OLHX RI Ă&#x20AC; RZHUV SOHDVH FRQVLGHU D donation  to  the  Peter  Morris  Fund  at  the  Bixby  Free  Memorial  Library  in  Vergennes,  the  Addison  County  Home  Health  and  Hospice,  or  the  charity  of  \RXU FKRLFH ¸

Teachers (Continued  from  Page  1) districts  will  follow  when  they  next  engage  in  contract  negotiations.

Superintendent  Peter  Burrows  of  the  Addison  Central  Supervisory  Union  in  Middlebury  told  the  In-­ dependent  that  he  would  be  open  to  considering  public  talks  when  the  supervisory  union  negotiates  a  new  contract  with  teachers  in  2017,  if  the  teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  union  is  also  supportive  of  the  idea.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  something  we  would  work  with  the  association  on,â&#x20AC;?  Bur-­

rows  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  discuss  it  if  it  came  to  the  table.â&#x20AC;?

PUBLIC  NEGOTIATIONS Members  of  the  ANeSU  teach-­ ers  union  and  Burlington  attorney  Stephen  Stitzel,  who  was  hired  to  represent  the  school  boards,  ap-­ peared  to  share  their  views  freely  at  Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  contract  negotiations  in  Bristol  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  even  with  the  camera  rolling  and  a  couple  members  of  the  public  present  (see  related  story  on  this  page).

The  change  to  an  open  meeting Â

is  largely  the  result  of  a  2013  law-­ suit  brought  against  the  school  by  Starksboro  resident  John  Jefferies.

Jefferies  argued  that  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  open  meetings  laws,  which  per-­ mit  bodies  to  go  into  secret  execu-­ tive  session  when  public  discussion  would  put  them  at  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;substantial  dis-­ advantage,â&#x20AC;?  only  apply  to  the  parties  (in  this  case,  the  teachers  and  school  board)  caucusing  amongst  them-­ selves.

In  other  words:  the  teachers  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  or  school  board  members  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  could Â

meet  privately  amongst  themselves  to  discuss  their  strategies,  but  actual  negotiations  between  the  two  parties  must  be  done  in  public.

Jefferies  told  the  Independent  in  2013  that  his  suit  was  spurred  by  2011  ANeSU  teacher  contract  ne-­ gotiations,  when  the  school  board  barred  the  public  from  the  talks  by  invoking  executive  session.

Jefferies  said  Friday  that  he  was  incensed  that  he  was  barred  from  the  2011  contract  talks.  He  said  that  the  Robinson  Elementary  School  budget  often  becomes  a  topic  of  discussion  at  the  Starksboro  Town  Meeting,  but  residents  feel  they  have  little  input  in  the  budget  process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  we  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  anything  to  say  at  town  meeting  because  the  (teach-­ ersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;)  contract  is  negotiated  earlier,  why  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  we  have  anything  to  say  during  the  contract  negotiations?â&#x20AC;?  he  asked.

The  talks  in  2011  were  rancorous,  and  the  two  sides  never  did  reach  an  agreement.  Instead,  the  board  imposed  a  contract  on  the  teach-­ ers.  Afterwards,  Jefferies  asked  the  board  to  admit  it  was  wrong  to  hold  the  negotiations  in  secret  and  prom-­ ise  to  have  public  negotiations  in  the  future.  The  board  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  budge.  So  in  March  2013  he  sued.

In  November  of  that  year,  Ver-­ mont  Superior  Court  Judge  Rob-­ ert  A.  Mello  ruled  in  favor  of  the  school  board,  arguing  that  since  the  contract  negotiations  that  were  the  basis  of  the  suit  had  ended,  and  there  were  no  current  negotiations,  the  court  had  no  jurisdiction  to  issue  a  ruling.

But  Jefferies  said  the  ruling  was  actually  a  victory.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  because  Judge  Mello  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  reject  Jefferiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  argument,  and  noted  that  the  board  (See  Negotiations,  Page  29)

Woven wraps are strong and secure, allowing the carrier to go about their business with free hands and the mobility often compromised by parenting. As a fifth-generation dairy farmer in Bridport, that’s important for Bob Sunderland.

Q and A Â

Functional Â

(Continued  from  Page  17) A:  I  started  blogging  about  kids  and  sleep  because  we  had  a  terrible  go  of  it  (both  of  my  OLWWOH GXGHV KDG WHUULEOH UHĂ&#x20AC;X[ ZKLFK PDGH our  transition  to  parenthood  unusually  rocky)  and  I  learned  a  ton  through  that  process  that  I  felt  I  could  share  with  others.  At  heart  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  a  researcher,  so  digging  through  baby  sleep  books  and  academic  research  is  something  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  pretty  comfortable  with.  Fundamentally,  all  I  do  is  read  a  lot,  ask  many  questions,  and  distill  it  down  into  basic  ideas  that  I  share  online. , QHYHU H[SHFWHG WR KDYH DQ\ UHDGHUV 1RZ millions  of  people  from  all  over  the  world  visit  my  site  every  year.  Honestly,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  thrilling!

Q:  Why  did  you  want  to  write  this  book,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precious  Little  Sleepâ&#x20AC;??  A:  In  the  summer  of  2013  a  highly  reputable  book  agent  reached  out  to  me  and  we  started  to  go  after  a  traditional  publishing  opportunity.  For  most  authors  this  would  be  an  amazing  opportunity.  I  spent  the  summer  researching  â&#x20AC;&#x153;traditional  publishingâ&#x20AC;?  and  reached  out  to  many  authors  (many  of  them  New  York  Times  bestsellers),  read  everything  I  could  get  my  hands  on,  talked  to  my  agent.  Eventually  I  came  to  the  conclusion  that  it  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  the  right  choice  for  me.  It  was  too  slow,  too  restrictive,  and  in  many  ways  they  werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  really  offering  me  anything.  The  only  reason  I  could  get  a  traditional  publishing  contract  was  that  I  had  a  platform  (my  website)  and  they  felt  I  could  use  it  to  market  my  book.  I  felt  I  could  do  the  same  thing,  more  quickly,  on  my  own.  Time  will  tell  if  this  was  a  wise  or  foolish  decision.

I  still  have  an  agent  and  she  feels  the Â

Â

traditional  publishing  opportunity  that  I  turned  down  is  still  on  the  table.  But  after  a  successful  Kickstarter  campaign  last  summer,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  100  percent  committed  to  the  path  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  on.

I  never  believed  I  could  or  should  write  D ERRN 1RU ZDV , FRQYLQFHG WKH ZRUOG needed  another  baby  sleep  book.  One  parenting  author  I  came  across  wrote,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  are  so  many  baby  sleep  books,  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  giving  them  out  E\ WKH FRUG /LNH ÂżUHZRRG ´ So  the  whole  thing  really  started  when  the  agent  called.  Could  I  write  a  book?  Should  I  Alexis Dubief is an expert on sleep deprivation and advocate for write  a  book?  Is  this  a  terrible  sleep training for children. Dubiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two sons, pictured here with idea  that  will  end  in  humiliation  her husband Yves, have had to work hard to develop what Dubief and  disgrace?  calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;skill of sleeping,â&#x20AC;? which did not come easily for them.

Last  September  I  started  She writes about her parenting experiences and lessons she has ZRUNLQJ RQ LW ÂżJXULQJ , ZRXOG learned in her blog troublesometots.com and in her first book, see  what  happened.  Admittedly  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precious Little Sleep,â&#x20AC;? scheduled to publish later this year. itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  a  slow  slog  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  I  write  when  my  youngest  is  at  preschool  (which  is  psychology  to  contribute  great  content,  as  well  only  a  few  hours,  a  few  days  a  week).  But  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  as  an  illustrator,  copy  editor,  interior  designer,  come  together.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  shared  it  with  others  and  DQG FRYHU DUWLVW 7KLV LV GHÂżQLWHO\ D FROODERUDWLYH gotten  strong  feedback.  So  I  keep  chugging  project!

My  initial  goal  was  January  2015,  but  June  is  away  at  it.  And  here  we  are. probably  more  realistic  at  this  point.  Q:  Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  left  in  the  process  before  it  is  Q:  Of  all  the  advice  you  give  to  parents  what  available  to  parents  or  parents-­to-­be?

A:  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  written  a  120,000  word  manuscript  is  the  most  important  thing?  A:  There  is  nothing  you  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  handle.  and  have  gotten  great  feedback  from  a  highly  TXDOLÂżHG PDQXVFULSW HGLWRU 1RZ ,ÂśP ZRUNLQJ Sometimes  we  start  getting  panicky,  we  lose  to  improve  the  draft  I  have  so  that  I  can  send  faith  in  ourselves.  'RQÂśW <RX FDQ DQG ZLOO ÂżJXUH RXW KRZ WR it  out  to  beta  readers  for  more  feedback.  Does  the  book  cover  all  the  key  points?  Does  it  make  make  things  better  for  your  whole  family.  You  sense?  Is  it  funny  enough?  Can  sleep-­deprived  DUH LQÂżQLWHO\ FDSDEOH RI WKLV &RPH XS ZLWK D SDUHQWV ÂżQG ZKDW WKH\ QHHG" ,ÂśP DOVR ZRUNLQJ plan  and  do  it.  And  remember,  there  is  nothing  ZLWK VRPH ORFDO H[SHUWV RQ QXUVLQJ DQG FKLOG you  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  handle.

Pet Pages How  to  identify  and  treat  pet  pain (MS)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  When  children  are  in  pain,  they  often  verbally  express  that  discomfort  to  their  parents.  But  pet  parents  know  that  no  such  ex-­ pressions  can  be  made  by  the  fam-­ ily  pet,  who  may  suffer  in  silence  for  several  days  or  even  weeks  until  its  owners  notice  a  problem.  Pets  often  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  express  any  discomfort  or  pain  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  feeling,  which  only  heightens  the  importance  pet  own-­ ers  must  place  on  detecting  any  ab-­ normal  behaviors  their  pets  might  exhibit  that  indicate  the  animals  are  in  pain.

Lucky  dog  (Continued  from  Page  1) tive  surgery,â&#x20AC;?  Danyow  said.

The  Middlebury  Animal  Hospital  veterinarian  recommended  amputa-­ tion  of  Picoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  leg,  given  the  com-­ plexity  of  reconstruction  and  an  ar-­ duous  rehabilitation  process  that  the  precocious  pup  would  have  had  to  endure  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  with  no  guarantee  of  suc-­ cess.  And  Danyow  noted  that  dogs  often  eventually  develop  arthritis  in  limbs  that  have  been  pinned.

The  veterinarian  reasoned  that  at  one-­and-­a-­half  years  old,  Pico  could  adapt  well  to  life  on  three  legs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given  his  age,  they  said  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  young,  strong  dog  and  (amputation)  would  be  a  much  cleaner  surgery  and  he  will  get  on  with  his  life  more  quickly,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Danyow  said. +RPHZDUG %RXQG RIÂżFLDOV learned  that  the  amputation  surgery  would  cost  around  $3,250.  The  non-­ SURÂżW RUJDQL]DWLRQ VLPSO\ GLG QRW have  that  sum  in  its  budget  and  de-­ cided,  on  an  emergency  basis,  to  put  out  a  call  for  donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  budget  for  special  needs  of  animals,  but  not  necessarily  for  a  surgery  that  costs  $3,000  to  $4,000,  for  one  dog,â&#x20AC;?  Danyow  explained.

7KH RUJDQL]DWLRQ SXEOLFL]HG 3L-­ coâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  plight  on  its  own  website,  on  its  Facebook  page,  and  through  the  crowd  funding  website  gofundme. com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  at  Homeward  Bound  believe  that  Pico  has  a  bright  future  with  a  loving,  caring  family,â&#x20AC;?  reads  some  text  that  appears  below  a  photo  of  Pico  on  the  gofundme  appeal.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  surgery  is  paramount  to  his  future  and  we  ask  that  animal  lovers  ev-­ erywhere  consider  sponsoring  his  surgery.â&#x20AC;?

The  response  to  Picoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  cause  was,  in  Danyowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  words,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely  mind  blowing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within  24  hours  of  (posting  the  appeal),  we  were  almost  there,â&#x20AC;?  Dan-­ yow  said  of  the  $3,250  goal,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;and  the  money  was  still  pouring  in.â&#x20AC;?

And  the  news  got  even  better.

Just  as  the  fund-­raising  needle  eclipsed  $3,250,  veterinarian  Nate  Heilman  of  the  Qi  Vet  Clinic  in  South  Burlington  called  offering  to  perform  Picoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  surgery  for  free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  fantastic,â&#x20AC;?  she  said  of  the  news.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  accepted  (the  offer)  with-­

out  question.â&#x20AC;?

All  of  a  sudden,  Homeward  Bound  had  an  embarrassment  of  riches  available  for  a  patient  that  was  now  in  line  for  a  free  operation.  So  Danyow  and  her  colleagues  updat-­ ed  the  website  with  the  good  news  (See  Donations,  Page  35)

PICO GETS SOME much-­needed rest at Homeward Bound in Middlebury two days after having surgery to remove a badly broken hind leg.

Donations (Continued from Page 34) and offered to refund the contribu-­ tions to donors living as far away as Florence, Italy. Those gofundme donations at this point had reached $7,510.

“Not a single person wanted a re-­ fund,” Danyow said with a smile.

In fact, additional contributions dropped off at the shelter have to-­ taled $1,852 as of this writing and have brought the “Pico fund” to-­ tal to almost $10,000. This special needs medical account will be used to defray surgery expenses for future shelter animals requiring medical TLC. “It’s been such a heartwarming response,” Danyow said. “The beau-­ ty of it is that the next animal that walks through our door, whether it needs surgery, or extensive diagnos-­ tic treatment — whatever they need, we can say ‘Yes, we can give that to you.’ We’ve got the funds, thanks to everyone who stepped up for Pico.”

Homeward Bound will continue to accept contributions for the Pico fund, through PayPal or checks.

Danyow is not planning gofundme campaigns for other shelter animals.

“I see it as a last resort,” Danyow said of the special appeal for Pico.

“It would be disingenuous for us to repeatedly use gofundme.”

Pico underwent successful surgery on Feb. 24. In addition to the ampu-­ tation, he was neutered and had three rotting molars extracted. Pico was also treated for a nasty infection in both of his ears.

Thursday saw him convalescing in a segregated room at Homeward Bound. Though clearly still smarting from his procedures, Pico gamely got up from his cozy cushion and hobbled over for quick audience with a nosy reporter and a persistent pup-­arazzo.

Chris Ouellette, animal care co-­ ordinator for Homeward Bound, slipped him a few treats. Pico’s mouth was still tender, but he chewed through the pain.

“He’s doing real well, for what he’s had done,” said Ouellette, who took

Pico to her own house following the operation. She was impressed to see Pico negotiate four steps without his right hind leg.

And yes, Pico will be up for adop-­ tion within around two weeks, after his stitches are out. The celebrity husky is expected to draw consider-­ able interest. Information about Pico can be found on homewardbound-­ animals.org.

“We’ll make sure to tell people through our website when he is able to receive visitors,” Danyow said.

The groundswell of support for Pico can be called “a textbook case of ‘It takes a village,’” Danyow said.

“I also attribute it to the innocence of Pico and of animals in general.”
