A DDIS ON Â Â INDE P E NDEN T

Guest  editorial &RQVROLGDWLRQ LV D ÂżUVW VWHS If  nothing  is  done,  Vermont  lawmakers  will  approve  a  seven-­cent  increase  in  the  statewide  property  tax  rate,  which  would  be  the  largest  increase  ever  imposed  to  fund  our  schools. That’s  not  likely.  The  governor  has  promised  the  increase  would  be  less.  The  House  Ways  and  Means  Committee  has  already  proposed  a  plan  that  ZRXOG FXW WKH LQFUHDVH WR ÂżYH FHQWV The  message  from  Town  Meeting  Day  was  clear  to  legislators:  There  is  a  limit  to  what  Vermonters  can  afford  and  that  limit  has  been  reached... The  worry,  however,  is  that  legislators  will  act  in  the  moment  and  not  with  the  foresight  necessary  to  ensure  a  sustainable,  high-­quality  educational  sys-­ tem.  The  worry  is  that  legislators  will  be  seduced  more  by  immediate  cost-­ cutting  measures  and  forgo  proposed  systemic  changes  that  would  set  the  long-­term  stage  for  lower  costs  and  improved  outcomes. It’s  not  an  either-­or  proposition.  Both  could,  and  should  be  done. On  the  property  tax  front,  the  Legislature  will  consider,  among  other  things,  reducing  the  small  school  grants,  saving  a  couple  of  million  dollars.  It  will  also  consider  increasing  the  penalties  for  districts  that  spend  at  a  rate  KLJKHU WKDQ LQĂ€DWLRQ ,W ZLOO H[DPLQH WKH QHHG WR FKDQJH WKH LQFRPH VHQVL-­ tivity  program  so  households  earning  between  $47,000  and  $90,000,  would  pay  more.  It  may  also  consider  modifying  the  calculations  that  determine  a  school  district’s  spending  per  equalized  pupil. Whatever  the  choices,  the  outcome  will  be  something  that  reduces  the  seven-­cent  increase  in  the  statewide  property  tax,  and  it  will  be  something  that  puts  some  downward  pressure  on  school  spending. That’s  helpful,  but  that’s  largely  an  exercise  in  rearranging  what  we  al-­ ready  have. There  are  opportunities  that  hold  more  promise. Our  representatives  also  should  give  serious  consideration  to  the  proposed  school  consolidation  legislation  being  considered,  which  would  organize  education  around  regional  pre-­K-­12  districts,  thus  reducing  the  number  of  school  districts  and  supervisory  unions. Of  the  two,  consolidation  is  the  heavier  lift.  Cutting  taxes  makes  the  head-­ lines  in  a  positive  way;Íž  at  least  politically.  Reorganizing  our  schools  boards  and  supervisory  unions  creates  headlines  in  a  more  controversial  way. But  it’s  the  long-­term  reorganizational  effort  that  provides  the  framework  necessary  to  change  how  our  schools  function,  how  they  can  be  better  man-­ aged,  how  costs  can  be  controlled  and  how  outcomes  can  be  improved... The  consolidation  proposal  being  considered  is  supported,  in  large  part,  by  the  school  board  association  and  the  superintendents’  association,  the  two  groups  best  acquainted  with  the  need. But  it’s  being  pilloried  in  commentary  as  being  â€œa  body  blow  to  local  democracy,â€?  the  tired  suggestion  that  what  we  had  in  1912  is  still  relevant  today,  that  nothing  should  change  despite  the  fact  we’ve  lost  30,000  students  over  the  last  15  years  and  that  many  of  our  towns  are  losing  population.  Critics  contend  consolidation  would  not  save  money  and  that  it  would,  in  the  process,  threaten  the  relationship  between  teachers  and  their  students. Please. The  critics  are  largely  apologists  for  the  system  we  have  and  offer  no  thoughts  as  to  how  things  might  be  changed  for  the  better,  or  how  our  edu-­ cational  system  must  evolve  if  it  is  to  stay  relevant...  The  school  consolidation  argument  is  not  about  saving  paper  clips.  It’s  DERXW PDNLQJ FRRUGLQDWHG GHFLVLRQV PRUH HIÂżFLHQWO\ ,WÂśV DERXW XVLQJ RXU resources  more  effectively.  It’s  about  giving  teachers  a  higher,  more  mean-­ ingful  level  of  support.  It’s  about  improving  the  level  of  communication  between  schools  and  the  public. These  virtues  are  almost  impossible  to  realize  with  our  current  system.  We  have  too  many  trying  to  manage  too  few.  That  creates  a  balkanized  sys-­ tem  that  forfeits  control  to  the  smallest  unit,  making  it  almost  impossible  to  move  the  system,  as  a  whole,  ahead. We  spend  enough  money  on  our  schools.  For  that,  we  should  be  thankful.  It’s  time  now  to  act  on  proposals  that  will  help  us  spend  that  money  more  wisely,  and  with  better  results. The  school  consolidation  proposal  is  a  start. —  Emerson  Lynn St.  Albans  Messenger

Moving Vt. from austerity to prosperity Letter  Over  the  course  of  the  last  few  years,  Vermont  has  done  a  relative-­ ly  decent  job  adjusting  to  the  eco-­ nomic  downturn  of  the  â€œgreat  re-­ cession.â€?  Indeed,  we  have  shown  ourselves  to  be  adept  at  austerity.  Now,  the  question  is,  can  Vermont  adapt  in  ways  that  foster  economic  prosperity? Toward  that  end,  what  role  should  the  state  play  in  economic  development  within  Vermont?  The  federal  government  is  intimately  engaged  in  economic  intervention  â€”  and  we  have  come  to  expect  and  even  anticipate  those  moves.  But  how  can  a  small  state  like  Ver-­ mont  make  meaningful  policies  that  actually  change  economic  di-­ rections  and  outcomes?  Should  we  even  try? The  national  economic  recovery  is  gaining  pace,  though  it  remains  tentative  and  a  bit  fragile.  Vermont  has  a  low  nominal  unemploy-­ ment  rate,  but  labor  economists  acknowledge  that  those  numbers  discount  the  large  number  of  un-­ employed  Vermonters  who  have  become  discouraged  and  have  dropped  out  of  the  labor  market.  In  fact,  there  are  3,550  fewer  Ver-­ monters  working  now  than  there  were  in  December  2012.  Further,  recent  Vermont  Department  of  Labor  projections  show  that  the  majority  of  job  openings  in  Ver-­ mont  in  the  coming  years  will  be  for  low-­wage,  service  positions  â€”  most  of  which  will  not  pay  a  â€œliv-­ ing  wage.â€?  Real  median  income  DGMXVWHG IRU LQĂ€DWLRQ LQ 9HUPRQW has  yet  to  recover  from  the  reces-­ sion.  We  fear  that  Vermont’s  econ-­ omy  is  resetting  at  a  lower  level.  If  you  believe  all  is  well  with Â

Legislative Report By Reps. Paul Ralston, D-Middlebury, and Heidi Scheuermann, R-Stowe. the  Vermont  economy,  you  may  fa-­ vor  a  laissez-­faire  approach.  But,  the  state  doesn’t  just  leave  the  economy  on  its  own.  Tax  and  spending  poli-­ FLHV LQĂ€XHQFH EHKDYLRU VRPHWLPHV on  purpose,  sometimes  inadver-­ tently.  Raising  taxes  on  tobacco  or  sugar-­sweetened  drinks  is  meant  to  curb  consumption.  Providing  a  tax  deduction  for  home  mortgage  inter-­ est  and  property  taxes  encourages  long-­term  home  ownership.  Taxing  software  served  from  the  â€œcloudâ€?  signals  an  unfavorable  treatment  of  high-­technology  business  and  its  use  in  Vermont. For  our  part,  we  have  both  long  ad-­ vocated  for  a  long-­term  comprehen-­ sive  economic  development  strategy  that  would  spur  growth  in  the  private  sector  in  Vermont.  Yet,  as  other  states  give  away  everything  but  the  kitchen  sink  in  efforts  to  attract  private  en-­ terprise,  we  must  attract  investment  in  much  more  creative  and  strategic  ways. We  have  been  working  on  legisla-­ tion  that  does  just  this.  Our  proposal  is  neither  a  tax  giveaway,  nor  a  costly  state  program.  It  is,  instead,  a  care-­ fully  designed  suite  of  strategic  ini-­

tiatives  designed  to  both  protect  and  grow  our  state’s  legacy  industries  like  manufacturing,  agriculture  and  our  working  lands;Íž  and  to  encour-­ age  and  reward  the  investment  in,  and  development  of,  new  economy  and  knowledge-­based  businesses. Among  other  things,  the  legisla-­ tion  includes  the  following: 1.  An  Entrepreneurial  Lending  Program  for  our  state’s  start-­ups  and  producers;Íž 2.  The  creation  of  a  One-­Stop  Shop  for  Vermont  businesses;Íž 3.  An  expansion  of  the  Down-­ town  Tax  Credit  program  for  private  owners  who  make  their  buildings  â€œtech  readyâ€?  to  ensure  start-­ups  and  hi-­tech  companies  are  able  to  locate  in  our  downtowns;Íž 4.  The  creation  of  a  â€œDomestic  Exportâ€?  program  to  help  our  state’s  producers  gain  access  to  the  exten-­ sive  regional  and  domestic  market;Íž 5.  A  study  and  report  on  how  best  to  make  electricity  costs  for  our  manufacturers  more  competitive  regionally  and  domestically;Íž  and  6.  The  elimination  of  the  sales  and  use  tax  being  imposed  on  ser-­ vices  delivered  through  the  â€œcloud.â€? While  this  legislation  isn’t  the  panacea  of  an  entire  economic  de-­ velopment  strategy,  it  is  a  way  to  ensure  that  Vermont’s  traditional  industries  so  important  to  our  cul-­ ture  (agriculture,  manufacturing,  IRUHVW SURGXFWV JURZ DQG UHPDLQ strong.  And,  it  is  a  way  to  ensure  that  Vermont  becomes  a  preferred  domicile  for  technology  start-­ups,  and  other  new  economy  business-­ es. In  the  end,  it  is  a  way  to  move  from  austerity  to  prosperity  in  Ver-­ mont.

CCTA bus strike would affect ACTR MIDDLEBURY  â€”  A  poten-­ tial  strike  by  Chittenden  County  Transportation  Authority  (CCTA)  drivers  would  have  an  impact  on  the  Addison  County  Transit  Resources’  Burlington  Link  Express  that  buses  riders  between  Middlebury  and  Burlington. As  the  Addison  Independent  went  to  press  on  Friday,  CCTA  drivers  were  slated  to  go  on  strike  as  of  Monday,  March  17,  after  having  rejected  the  latest  contract  offer. Jim  Moulton,  executive  director  of  ACTR  in  Middlebury,  said  the  strike  would  result  in  the  Burlington  Link  Express  suspending  its Â

weekday  runs  along  Route  7  between  Middlebury  and  Burlington  until  an  agreement  is  reached.  The  Link  Express  has  stops  just  outside  Vergennes,  in  North  Ferrisburgh,  and  in  Charlotte,  Shelburne  and  South  Burlington. But  Moulton  said  ACTR  will  continue  with  at  least  limited  weekday  runs  with  its  Route  116  Connector,  which  operates  from  Middlebury  to  Burlington  via  Route  116.  It  has  stops  in  Bristol,  Starksboro,  Hinesburg  and  South  Burlington.

By  ANNE  GALLOWAY VT  Digger.org MONTPELIER  â€”  A  legislative  panel  resound-­ ingly  rejected  legislation  last  Tuesday  that  would  have  increased  the  minimum  age  for  buying  tobacco  products  from  18  to  21. The  House  Human  Services  Committee  voted  10-­1  DQG WR NLOO WZR UHODWHG SURSRVDOV WKH ÂżUVW ZRXOG have  raised  the  minimum  age,  the  other  would  have  exempted  military  personnel  from  the  age  limit. The  committee  took  testimony  from  the  Vermont  Grocers  Association,  the  Vermont  Department  of  Health  and  the  Vermont  State  Colleges. Rep.  Ann  Pugh,  D-­S.  Burlington,  said  raising  the  minimum  age  for  purchasing  cigarettes  is  not  one  of  the  strategies  recommended  by  the  Centers  for  Disease  Control.  Secondhand  smoke  is  a  much  more  serious  issue,  she  said.  â€œWhen  the  tobacco  control  advocates  and  the  commis-­ sioner  of  health,  all  of  whom  share  a  strong  sense  of  the  importance  of  limiting  tobacco  use  and  secondhand  smoke,  say  this  is  not  a  strategy  to  get  the  results  we  want  at  this  time,  then  we  have  to  pay  attention,â€?  Pugh  said. Dr.  Harry  Chen,  the  commissioner  of  the  Vermont  'HSDUWPHQW RI +HDOWK WHVWLÂżHG DJDLQVW WKH SURSRVDO Chen  told  WPTZ:  â€œWe  know  it’s  the  No.  1  controllable  cause  of  death  but  that  said,  I  think  18-­year-­olds  are  adults  and  if  we’re  going  to  prohibit  or  compel  behav-­ ior  in  adults  I  think  there  has  to  be  a  really  good  reason  behind  it.â€? Given  the  Shumlin  administration’s  resistance  to  the  idea,  Rep.  George  Till,  a  key  sponsor  of  H.605,  said  he  was  not  surprised  that  lawmakers  voted  down  the  proposal. Till,  who  is  an  obstetrician,  says  raising  the  age  limit  would  have  a  huge  impact  on  public  health  at  a  time  when  the  state’s  efforts  to  curb  smoking  among  teens  is  losing  momentum.  Ninety  percent  of  smokers  start  the  KDELW EHIRUH WKH DJH RI KH VDLG 6HYHQW\ ÂżYH SHUFHQW of  smokers  who  begin  lighting  up  as  teenagers  smoke  for  the  rest  of  their  lives,  Till  said.

A  fundamental  premise  of  Green  Mountain  Care  is  to  decouple  health  insurance  from  employment  by  paying  for  it  with  taxes  instead  of  premiums. “It  is  past  time  that  this  administration  was  asked  to  stand  and  deliver,â€?  said  Browning  in  an  email  release. Âł,I WKH FRPSOHWH ÂżQDQFLQJ VFHQDULR RU VFHQDULRV DUH not  fully  developed,  the  draft  plans  and  other  materials  that  have  been  generated  thus  far  should  be  shared  with  the  Legislature  and  all  Vermonters,â€?  she  added.

Browning  said  she  isn’t  sure  if  the  administration  will  comply  with  her  request,  but  in  her  email  she  writes,  â€œSuch  a  refusal  will  simply  increase  the  seriousness  of  this  failure  to  obey  the  law  and  to  abide  by  principles  of  transparency  and  accountability.â€? If  the  administration  doesn’t  turn  over  what  is  known  as  a  â€œwork  product,â€?  then  she  said  she’s  prepared  to  take  further  action.  Browning  said  she  would  consider  calling  on  the  House  to  seek  a  legislative  subpoena  of  the  docu-­ ments  she’s  called  for.  She  acknowledged  that  subpoena  is  unlikely  without  the  support  of  Democratic  leadership. %\ QRW UHOHDVLQJ KLV DGPLQLVWUDWLRQÂśV ZRUN RQ D ÂżQDQF-­ ing  plan,  Shumlin  is  in  violation  of  the  law,  she  said.

Number  of  medical  marijuana dispenseries  could  increase By  LAURA  KRANTZ VT  Digger.org MONTPELIER  â€”  The  Senate  this  past  Tuesday  passed  a  bill  expanding  the  number  of  medical  marijuana  dispensaries  in  the  state  from  four  to  six.  The  bill,  S.247,  passed  on  a  voice  vote.  It  now  heads  to  the  House.

Letters to the Editor ‘Atlas  Shrugged’  offers  sad  message  on  economy There  is  a  book  that  is  ruining  our  great  nation.  It  has  been  popular  IRU WKH \HDUV VLQFH LW ZDV ÂżUVW published.  Important  leaders  of  our  nation  have  read  it  and  think  it  has  important  ideas  to  be  followed.  It  has  the  basic  premise  that  we  should  be  VHOÂżVK ,W LV DJDLQVW WKH EDVLF LGHDV that  we  associate  with  our  major  reli-­ gions  like  Christianity  and  Judaism.  It  doesn’t  make  fundamental  good  sense  in  its  premise. The  book,  â€œAtlas  Shrugged,â€?  is  about  the  rich  leaders  of  society  mov-­ ing  away  from  the  greedy  leeches  who  charge  them  taxes  and  restrict  their  plans  so  these  plans  do  the  least  harm  to  others.  One  big  thing  the  book  ignores  is  that  most  of  these  leeches  are  the  real  doers  and  the  ones  who  make  things  work. One  thing  that  happens  in  the  book  is  the  leader,  John  Galt,  is  able  to  switch  radio  and  TV  stations  to  only  broadcast  his  long  and  boring  speeches.  Nowhere  in  the  book  is  there  recognition  that  such  a  subver-­ sion  of  an  industry  would  take  an  army  of  what  the  book’s  author  calls  the  leeches  to  get  these  radio  stations  to  switch  to  Galt’s  speeches.  The  other  thing  that  is  unbelievable  is  that  Galt  gets  his  rich  â€œdoersâ€?  to  move  to  a  faraway  Galt’s  Gulch  and  things  get  done  without  a  herd  of  slaves.  I  can’t  believe  that  these  rich  â€œdoersâ€?  can  even  pump  gas  much  less  build Â

houses  or  do  anything  else  useful. One  of  the  big  problems  with  American  business  is  American  businesspeople.  Our  corporations  are  mostly  making  money  by  moving  money  around  instead  of  making  basic  products.  This  creates  big  bubbles  which  can  collapse  like  the  housing  bubble  of  2006.  Businesses  in  Germany  and  other  nations  are  overtaking  the  U.S.  in  making  things,  while  our  businesspeople  play  with  things  like  derivatives.   Meanwhile,  citizens  of  the  country  are  suffering  from  lack  of  jobs.  Our  Constitution  is  being  subverted  by  businesses  buying  our  Congress  to  do  their  will.  Laws  that  the  People  made  WR SURWHFW WKHPVHOYHV IURP VHOÂżVK businesses  are  being  overturned,  so  the  People  are  suffering  sickness  and  other  problems  so  some  can  get  even  richer.  The  promise  of  being  able  to  advance  to  higher  incomes  is  being  shut  off. These  problems  are  being  done  by  those  who  are  convinced  that  lesser  people  deserve  what  they  get  and  deserve  no  help  from  those  who  have  gotten  a  good  position  in  life.  Those  who  have  so  advanced,  who  the  book  considers  â€œdoers,â€?  may  not  have  done  much  more  than  the  ones  considered  â€œleechesâ€?  except  they  have  inherited  a  higher  position  in  life. To  show  that  these  multi-­million  dollar  â€œdoersâ€?  are  not  much  more Â

useful  to  society  than  other  workers,  some  businesses  have  been  taken  over  by  â€œworkersâ€?  when  the  owners  wanted  to  shut  a  plant  down.  The  workers  who  took  over  have  made  WKH EXVLQHVV PRUH SURÂżWDEOH WKDQ WKH useless  â€œdoersâ€?  did.  In  Europe,  many  businesses  have  been  run  by  a  mix  of  workers  and  businesspeople  and  been  very  successful,  but  American  businesspeople  are  afraid  of  letting  that  happen  here. 7KLV VHOÂżVK HWKLF LV SXVKHG E\ WKH well-­read  book  â€œAtlas  Shrugged,â€?  which  was  written  by  Ayn  Rand,  who  was  born  in  Communist  USSR,  and  fought  against  its  evils.  She  retained  atheism  from  her  communist  days.  With  her  atheism  comes  no  feeling  for  the  welfare  of  others.  If  they  are  not  big  businesspeople  or  inventors  and  pushers,  they  deserve  to  suffer.  Modern  atheists  insist  that  atheism  should  produce  better  morals  than  or-­ ganized  religion,  but  not  Ayn  Rand’s  atheism. We,  the  people  of  the  United  States,  must  gather  together  and  denounce  this  subversive  philosophy  that  is  ruining  our  nation.  We  must  point  out  the  defects  of  Ayn  Rand’s  â€œobjectivismâ€?  and  let  it  be  known  that  we  want  a  better  place  than  what  objectivism  is  doing  to  our  once  great  nation.

Porter Hospital Celebrates Certified Nurses Day, March 19th by Honoring the 14 Board Certified Nurses on its Staff  The following nurses are being recognized for their professionalism, leadership, and commitment to excellence in patient care: Barbara Wagner, CEN Ann Griffith, CEN Irene Fortin, CEN Patty Orvis, CNOR Tess Messenger, Med Surgical Cheryl Boutin, CNOR, Gerontology Rosemarie Provetto, Med Surg ANCC

Janet Mosurick, AMSN – Med/Surg Kristin Sawyer, PCCN Vicki Kirby, IBCLC Amber Night, Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse Cathy Fondrk, CCRN, BCRN – Cardiovascular Nurse Lorraina Smith-Zuba, CNOR, CEN, Surgical Services Mgmt. Leilani Schnoor, CCRN

Board Certification of nurses plays an increasingly important role in the assurance of high standards of care for patients and their loved ones. Nursing, like health care in general has become increasingly complex. While a registered nurse (RN) license provides entry to general nursing practice, the knowledge-intensive requirements of modern nursing demand extensive education, as well as a strong personal commitment to excellence by the nurse. Porter Medical Center encourages national board certification for all its nurses. Patients are encouraged to inquire whether there are certified nurses on staff when they visit a hospital or their primary care provider. There are many nursing certification specialties such as medical-surgical, pediatric, pain management, cardiac vascular, oncology, hospice, case management, emergency nursing, critical care and many others. Many nursing certification bodies exist to serve the full range of specialized nursing care offered in the contemporary health care system; national nurse-certifying bodies should be accredited by either the Accreditation Board for Specialty Nursing Certification (ABSNC) or the National Organization for Competence Assurance (NOCA), or both. Please join Porter Medical Center and the nation’s national nursing certification organizations in honoring those hardworking, dedicated nurses for their professionalism, and a job well done!

Dr.  Monica  L.  Wolosinski

As part of a public health initiative, Dr. Monica L. Wolosinski, through the InfantSEE™ program, is providing a one-time no-cost eye assessment for babies 6-12 months of age. Dr. Monica has joined InfantSEE program and hopes to help with its mission to incorporate eye examinations into the infant welless routine which parents provide for their babies. Early detection of visual and ocular health disorders is extremely important during the first year of life as it can impact a baby’s future. For this reason, the American Optometric Association strongly recommends the first eye examination by twelve months. Dr. Monica has experience examining infants from the pediatric program at the Southern College of Optometry and her recent work in Middlebury. Please call Middlebury Eye Associates, Inc. for your infant’s no-cost eye assessment.

New Baby & Expectant Parents

Starting babies on solid foods requires close observation (MS)  â€”  As  many  new  parents  can  attest,  a  new  baby  brings  with  it  many  mysteries.  Con-­ sidering  children  do  not  come  with  instruction  manuals,  it’s  up  to  Mom  and  Dad  to  learn  the  ropes  through  trial  and  error  and  with  some  ad-­ vice  from  pediatricians,  friends  and  relatives. One  error  new  parents  commonly  make  is  introducing  solid  foods  to  their  infants  before  the  tots  are  ready.  The  American  Academy  of  Pediatrics  and  Health  Canada  now  recommend  infants  should  not  start  solid  foods  until  age  six  months.  Breast  milk  or  infant  formula  should  be  the  food  of  choice  for  infants  younger  than  six  months. A  study  by  the  Centers  for  Disease  Control  and  Prevention’s  Division  of  Nutrition,  Physi-­ cal  Activity  and  Obesity  surveyed  1,334  wom-­ en  before  they  gave  birth,  and  nearly  every  PRQWK GXULQJ WKH ÂżUVW \HDU RI WKH FKLOGÂśV OLIH Mothers  were  asked  to  report  feeding  habits.  Forty  percent  of  mothers  gave  their  ba-­ bies  solid  foods  prior  to  age  four  months.  The  most  common  reason  for  giving  the  food  was  the  mothers  believed  the  baby  was  old  enough  to  begin  eating  solid  foods.  Mothers  also  said  that  the  baby  seemed  hun-­ gry  a  lot  and  was  not  satiated  by  breast  milk  or  formula  alone.  More  than  50  percent  of  mothers  in  the  study  responded  that  a  doctor  told  them  the  baby  could  start  solid  food  before  four  months  old. Children  who  are  introduced  to  solid  foods  too  early  may  not  be  developmentally  ready  to  accept  these  foods.  Studies  also  have  linked  the  early  introduction  of  solid  foods  with  an  in-­

creased  risk  of  chronic  diseases,  such  as  obesity  and  eczema,  later  in  life. Babies  also  may  not  be  physically  able  to  move  their  tongues  and  swallow  properly  to  handle  solid  foods.  Here  are  some  guidelines  for  knowing  when  and  how  to  introduce  solid  foods  to  a  baby’s  diet. ‡ 5HFRJQL]H UHDGLQHVV VLJQV 6LJQV WKDW \RXU child  is  ready  for  solid  foods  include  the  abil-­ ity  to  sit  up  and  lean  forward,  good  head  con-­ trol,  the  ability  to  pick  up  food  and  try  to  put  it  in  his  or  her  mouth  and  the  ability  to  turn  his  or  her  head  away  to  indicate  fullness.  If  the  baby  watches  you  while  eat  and  seems  in-­ terested  in  your  food,  this  may  also  indicate  a  readiness  for  solid  food. ‡ $GKHUH WR WKH UHFRPPHQGHG JXLGHOLQHV Breast  milk  and  formula  are  nutritionally  sound  food  sources  for  growing  babies.  Introducing  complementary  foods  too  early  can  lead  to  nu-­ WULHQW GHÂżFLHQF\ ‡ %HJLQ ZLWK RQH IRRG DW D WLPH 0RVW SH-­ diatricians  recommend  starting  out  with  iron-­ IRUWLÂżHG FHUHDOV DV WKH ÂżUVW VROLG IRRGV EHFDXVH they’re  least  likely  to  cause  an  allergic  reaction.  These  cereals  can  be  diluted  with  milk  or  for-­ mula  to  make  them  more  palatable.  Others  prefer  to  start  with  an  iron-­rich  veg-­ etable.  Good  starter  vegetables  include  sweet  potatoes,  squash  and  peas.  Before  adding  any  more  solid  foods,  stick  with  the  initial  food  for  at  least  one  week  or  more  to  determine  if  the  child  can  tolerate  the  food. ‡ 3D\ DWWHQWLRQ IRU VLJQV RI DOOHUJLHV 5DVKHV wheezing,  gas,  fussiness,  vomiting,  and  diar-­

It took us quite some time to decide that solar energy was the way to go. They were very patient with us as we asked lots of questions!

Storm  (Continued  from  Page  1) who  were  stuck  in  the  snow.  Middle-­ bury  police  responded  to  four  acci-­ dents  and  assisted  11  motorists  who  slid  off  roadways. Tamara  Boise  of  MidState  Tow-­ ing  in  New  Haven  said  business  was  brisk  during  the  storm,  with  the  com-­ pany’s  three  drivers  working  on  and  off  for  36  hours. “It  was  the  busiest  storm  of  the  season,â€?  Boise  said.  â€œOur  drivers  were  out  most  of  the  night.â€? Boise  estimated  MidState  helped  dozens  of  motorists  who  had  been  involved  in  accidents  or  were  simply  stuck  in  the  snow.  She  said  the  fact  that  snow  had  dumped  onto  frozen  roads  contributed  to  the  hazardous  conditions. “Most  accidents  were  at  a  slow  speed,â€?  Boise  said.  â€œDrivers  just  couldn’t  stop.â€? The  day  before  the  storm  hit  saw  spring-­like  weather,  with  sunny  skies  and  temperatures  in  the  mid-­40s.  It  turned  out  to  be  woefully  misleading  when  the  mercury  sank  and  snow  be-­ gan  to  fall  Wednesday  morning. Temperatures  continued  to  fall  throughout  the  day  and  evening  Wednesday,  down  to  single  digits  â€”  a  swing  of  40  degrees  in  a  24-­hour  period.  Close  to  a  foot  of  snow,  cou-­ pled  with  gusting  winds,  made  for  a  GLIÂżFXOW HYHQLQJ FRPPXWH Heavy  snow  and  blinding  winds  continued  through  Wednesday  eve-­ ning  before  tapering  off  before  noon  on  Thursday.  Shortly  before  1  p.m.,  WKH 1DWLRQDO :HDWKHU 6HUYLFH RIÂżFH in  South  Burlington  rescinded  its Â

only  7  days  above  average. Among  other  results  of  the  cold  temps  lasting  later  than  usual  is  that  maple  sugaring  operations  are  get-­ ting  a  late  start  and  none  are  operat-­ ing  full  throttle  yet.

The  storm  was  the  12th  largest  in  recorded  history  in  Burlington,  and Â

the  sixth  largest  March  storm.  The  largest  March  storm  occurred  just  three  years  ago,  in  2011.  On  March  7  and  8  of  that  year,  Addison  County  saw  a  huge  snowfall  â€”  24  inches  were  reported  in  both  Bridport  and  North  Lincoln  â€”  and  children  simi-­ larly  missed  two  days  of  school.  Despite  being  the  largest  snow-­ storm  of  the  season,  many  Addison  County  communities  have  still  re-­ ceived  less-­than-­average  snowfall  this  winter.  Salisbury  has  averaged  64  inches  of  snow  over  the  last  30  years;Íž  this  season  the  town  has  re-­ ceived  58.  Lincoln’s  75  inches  is  well  below  its  average  of  123  inches.

The  theme  for  this  story  occasion  arises  from  another  local  seasonal  term,  â€œMuddy  Gras,â€?  a  recognition  that  even  in  messy  times  there  may  be  distinct  moments  of  celebration  and  festivity.  Another  way  to  view  this  time  of  the  year  would  be  to  call  it  the  â€œClustered  Seasons:  Mud,  Maple  and  the  First  Buds  of  Spring.â€?  These  are  shorter  seasons  than  the  big  ones,  such  as  the  winter  that  still  grips  us.  But  these  clustered  seasons  do  arrive  each  year,  and  grab  us  in  ways  that  may  be  messy,  beautiful  and  remarkable  at  the  same  time. While  missing  the  potbelly  stove  of  old,  or  a  table  for  food  or  drink,  the  Storymatters  storytelling  circle  is  al-­ ways  open,  friendly  and  welcoming.  For  more  information  email  bryan. alexander@gmail.com,  barbaragan-­ ley@gmail.com  or  lar17g@comcast. net.
