Recalling  her  time  at  Weybridge,  Johnston  said  she  was  particular-­ ly  proud  with  the  relationship  the  school  has  formed  with  Middlebury  College. “We’ve  been  really  active  in  work-­ ing  with  the  college,  and  just  seeing  them  as  a  tremendous  resource,â€?  Johnston  said. The  partnership  works  both  ways,  Johnston  explained.  Middlebury  education  students  visit  Weybridge  classrooms  to  observe  and  interact  with  students,  and  youngsters  of-­ ten  visit  the  college  to  participate  in  workshops  there. The  campus  provides  opportuni-­ ties  that  aren’t  available  to  the  stu-­ dents  in  Weybridge,  Johnston  said,  adding  that  a  collaboration  with  the  college’s  biology  department  al-­ lowed  the  students  to  visit  the  labs  on  campus. Johnston  said  collaboration  with  Middlebury  also  gives  her  students  an  idea  what  college  is  like. “Students  who  may  not  think  of  themselves  going  to  college  can  en-­ vision  that,â€?  Johnston  said.  â€œEvery-­ body  should  be  able  to  dream  that.â€?

Johnston  was  born  near  Seattle  and  spent  her  formative  years  in  Wash-­ ington  state  and  Alaska.  She  earned  a  bachelor’s  degree  from  Oberlin  Col-­ lege  in  Ohio  before  completing  her  master’s  at  Tufts  University,  outside  Boston.  She  moved  to  Montpelier  to  EHJLQ KHU FDUHHU LQ HGXFDWLRQ LQ The  other  honorary  degree  recipi-­ HQWV DUH ELRORJLVW 0DUWLQ &KDOÂżH Grammy-­award  winning  violinist  Hilary  Hahn  and  political  theorist  Eric  Nelson.

Why  is  it  then  that  the  Vermont  League  of  Cities  and  Towns  is  actively  working  to  weaken  the  very  laws  that  promote  government  transparency?  That  work  is  demonstrated  in  a  bill  brought  before  the  Senate  Government  Operations  Committee  last  week.  S.114  would  allow  two  unnecessary  and  detrimental  changes  to  current  law:  1)  It  would  delay  the  number  of  days  government  bodies  have  to  post  minutes,  agendas  and  other  documents  of  PHHWLQJV IURP ÂżYH GD\V WR DQG ,W ZRXOG EDQ SHQDOWLHV DJDLQVW VRPH public  bodies  even  if  those  members  knowingly  violate  the  law.

It  is  equally  misguided  to  suggest  some  government  bodies  should  be  exempt  from  penalties  if  they  violate  current  open  meeting  or  public  ac-­ cess  laws.  The  League’s  suggestion  is  to  exempt  all  municipal  bodies  ex-­ cept  â€œhigher  tieredâ€?  bodies,  such  as  school  boards,  selectboards,  and  zoning  and  planning  commissions.  But  that  provides  towns  and  cities  the  ability  to  skirt  open  government  on  many  important  issues  by  creating  committees  to  handle  much  of  the  work.  In  testimony  to  the  Senate  Government  Operations  Committee  last  week,  Tom  Kearny,  editor  of  the  Stowe  Reporter,  noted  that  the  Burlington  City  &RXQFLO KDG WKH IROORZLQJ VWDQGLQJ FRPPLWWHHV %RDUG RI )LQDQFH &KDUWHU &KDQJH &RPPXQLW\ 'HYHORSPHQW 1HLJKERUKRRG 5HYLWDOL]DWLRQ ,QVWLWX-­ WLRQV +XPDQ 5HVRXUFHV /LFHQVH 2UGLQDQFH 3DUNV $UWV &XOWXUH 3XEOLF 6DIHW\ 7UDQVSRUWDWLRQ (QHUJ\ 8WLOLWLHV DQG 7D[ $EDWHPHQW $V FRPPLWWHHV XQGHU 6 WKH\ ZRXOG EH H[HPSW IURP DQ\ ÂżQH IRU NQRZLQJO\ DQG ZLOO-­ fully  violating  the  open  meeting  law,  and  would  also  be  exempt  from  having  to  pay  legal  fees  for  litigation  in  which  the  plaintiff  substantially  prevails.  The  law  still  requires  these  public  institutions  to  correct  their  misdeeds,  but  under  no  penalty  or  consequence. If  Burlington  can  designate  such  committees  to  do  the  important  work  of  communities,  so  could  any  town  or  school  board  when  sensitive  issues  arise.  The  Senate  Government  Operations  Committee  rejected  much  of  the  League’s  arguments  last  week  and  the  bill  missed  cross-­over  (the  point  where  bills  go  from  the  Senate  to  the  House),  but  the  League  is  now  posi-­ WLRQHG WR DVN WKH 6HQDWH 5XOHV &RPPLWWHH WKLV :HGQHVGD\ WR VXVSHQG WKH rules  and  allow  the  bill  to  be  taken  up  in  the  House.  :K\ JLYH WKH 9/&7 VSHFLDO WUHDWPHQW" 'RHV WKLV OREE\LQJ RUJDQL]DWLRQ have  special  privileges  that  other  lobbying  groups  do  not,  and  is  that  appro-­ priate  when  the  intent  of  the  effort  is  to  set  back  the  important  reforms  to  the  open  meeting  laws  that  were  made  in  the  prior  year?  We  argue  it  is  neither  appropriate  to  suspend  the  rules  in  this  matter,  nor  is  it  advisable  for  the  Legislature  to  weaken  the  laws  that  provide  for  bet-­ ter  public  knowledge  and  participation  in  our  civil  affairs.  The  effort  by  the  Legislature  â€”  and  the  League  and  our  cities  and  towns  â€”  should  be  to  strengthen  measures  that  improve  transparency,  not  weaken  them. —  Angelo  S.  Lynn

Algae  is  a  naturally  occurring  SODQW OLIH WKDW FUHDWHV D JUHHQ Âż OP on  the  inside  of  tank  walls  and  on  plants  and  decorations  inside  the  aquarium.  Just  like  any  other  plant,  algae  requires  a  few  things  to  thrive,  including  light,  water  and  food. Although  a  certain  amount  of  algae  in  the  water  can  be  D EHQHÂż FLDO IRRG VRXUFH IRU VRPH VSHFLHV RI Âż VK DQ RYHU abundance  can  be  unsightly  and  take  over  the  aquarium.  There  are  a  few  reasons  why  algae  can  grow  unchecked.  Algae  needs  light  to  VXUYLYH /HDYLQJ D Ă€ XRUHVFHQW aquarium  light  on  too  long  or  placing  the  tank  in  the  path  of  direct  sunlight  can  cause  algae  to  bloom. Introducing  new  live  plants  to  a  tank,  which  already  may  have  algae  spores  hitching  a  ride  on  them,  can Â

introduce  more  algae  to  the  tank. 2YHUIHHGLQJ Âż VK FDQ SURYLGH extra  food  sources  for  algae,  as  can  IDLOLQJ WR IUHTXHQWO\ FOHDQ WKH Âż OWHU Water  with  a  high  level  of  nutri-­ ents  will  provide  a  lot  of  food  for  algae. Understanding  why  algae  forms  will  help  you  control  it  effectively.  To  start,  get  in  the  habit  of  cleaning  the  tank  frequently.  Once  a  week Â

may  be  acceptable,  depending  on  size.  Scrape  the  walls  of  the  aquar-­ LXP GRZQ DQG UHPRYH WKH DUWLÂż cial  plants  and  other  accessories  and  routinely  wash  in  clean  water.  &KDQJH WKH Âż OWHU FDUWULGJH ZKHQ LW has  become  overly  soiled.  Perform  water  changes.  Change  10  to  15  percent  of  the  water  in  the  aquarium  every  week,  which  will  remove  toxins  and  algae  spores. Â

When  you  change  the  water,  use  a  suction  tube  to  â€œvacuumâ€?  out  debris  lodged  in  the  gravel. Limiting  the  food  sources  for  algae  can  also  keep  it  in  check.  )HHG D VFDQW DPRXQW RI IRRG WR Âż VK only  enough  that  they  can  eat  in  5  minutes  or  so.  If  there  is  extra  food  Ă€ RDWLQJ DURXQG UHPRYH LW 7KH food  contains  phosphates  and  other  nutrients  that  can  be  a  delicious  meal  for  algae.  Keeping  live  plants  in  the  tank  is  another  way  to  limit  nutrients.  Live  plants  will  use  many  of  the  nutrients  that  algae  thrive  on.  Having  less  present  means  less  algae  and  healthy  aquarium  plants. Routinely  test  the  levels  in  the  water  and  know  what  the  proper  levels  should  be.  In  addition,  know  what  your  water  levels  are  right  out  of  the  tap.  Test  for  phosphates  and  nitrates.  Use  phosphate  removers  or Â

Gregorian Chant Schola to perform Tenebrae in Verg. March 31 VERGENNES  â€”  The  Vermont  Gregorian  Chant  Schola  will  sing  the  mystical  liturgical  service  called  Tenebrae  at  St.  Peter’s  Church  in  Vergennes  on  Tuesday,  March  31,  at  7  p.m.  This  impres-­ sive  ceremony  includes  15  can-­ dles,  one  for  each  of  the  texts  taken  from  the  Lamentation  of  Jeremiah.  Each  candle  is  numbered  and  sung  in  Hebrew.  Each  candle  is  extin-­ guished  after  each  song.  Tenebrae  means  darkness.

The  Vermont  Gregorian  Chant  Schola  was  organized  15  years  ago  by  Dr.  William  Tortolano,  col-­ lege  organist  emeritus  and  profes-­ sor  emeritus  of  Fine  Arts/Music  at  Saint  Michael’s  College.  The  schola  is  in  residence  at  Saint  Mi-­ chael’s  College. The  purpose  of  the  school  (“scholaâ€?)  is  to  continue  the  great  musical  heritage  of  the  church  called  Gregorian  chant.  In  monas-­ tic  men’s  tradition,  the  group  pre-­

pares  concerts  and  sings  liturgies  several  times  during  the  year. Tortolano  is  a  world-­renowned  expert  on  the  chant  and  has  re-­ searched  the  chant  at  the  Benedic-­ tine  Monastery  of  Saint-­Pierre  de  Solesmes  in  France  and  translated  Dom  Cardine’s  book  â€œBeginning  Studies  in  Gregorian  Chant.â€?  His  most  recent  book  is  â€œA  Gregorian  Chant  Handbook.â€? His  Holiness,  Pope  Benedict  XVI,  conferred  upon  Tortolano  the Â
