Middlebury  gears  up  for  busy  construction  season By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  As  the  snow  and  ice  slowly  recede  from  view,  the  town  of  Middlebury  will  turn  its  attention  to  a  laundry  list  of  public  infrastructure  projects  aimed  at  repaving  some  local  roads,  upgrading  the  municipal  water  and  sewerage  systems,  and  replacing  two  prominent  down-­

town  railroad  overpasses.

The  most  massive  project  will,  of  course,  involve  the  installation  of  a  concrete  tunnel  that  will  sup-­ plant  the  deteriorating  rail  over-­ passes  on  Merchants  Row  and  Main  Street.  The  estimated  $17  million  undertaking  is  expected  to  span  two  construction  seasons  and  (See  Middlebury,  Page  22)

“One  of  the  things  I’ve  learned  intensely  over  the  past  two  years  is  that  change  is  very  hard,�  Ramsay  said  at  Porter  Medical  Center’s  annual  meeting  last  week.  “It  is  very  hard  to  change  the  system.�

Watershed Center  maps  out  events  for  2014 By  ZACH  DESPART ADDISON  COUNTY  —  The  Wa-­ WHUVKHG &HQWHU D QRQSURÂżW FRQVHUYD-­ tion  group  that  maintains  hundreds  of  acres  of  wilderness,  mostly  in  north-­ western  Bristol  but  also  in  New  Ha-­ ven,  held  its  annual  meeting  March  16  to  plan  its  agenda  and  public  events  for  the  coming  year,  including  a  spring  celebration  and  a  birding  outing.  The  group  promotes  conservation  practices  and  holds  regular  events  on  its  two  tracts  of  land  for  residents  and  school  groups.  “One  of  our  main  chores  is  conser-­ vation  of  land,  and  letting  communi-­ ties  have  access  to  it,â€?  said  new  presi-­ dent  Scott  Hamshaw.  “We  want  to  promote  conservation  and  stewardship  of  the  land.â€?

Coming  up  this  spring,  the  Water-­ shed  Center  will  hold  its  annual  Belt-­ ane  celebration,  an  event  that  traces  its  roots  to  paganism  in  Ireland  and  Scot-­ land.  Hamshaw  said  the  group  had  not  yet  set  a  date  for  the  event,  but  it  will  be  sometime  in  early  May. “It’s  a  great  way  for  people  to  come  out  to  the  property  and  celebrate  the  arrival  of  spring,�  Hamshaw  said.

Also,  the  Watershed  will  host  its  yearly  Warbler  Warmup  on  May  11.  That  event,  true  to  its  name,  serves  as  DQ XQRI¿FLDO VWDUW RI WKH DUHDœV ELUGLQJ season.

Dozens  of  members  of  the  organi-­ zation  attended  the  annual  meeting,  which  laid  out  the  Watershed’s  goals  for  the  year  and  welcomed  new  board  PHPEHUV DQG RIÂżFHUV Hamshaw  joined  the  Watershed  Center  four  years  ago  after  moving  to  Bristol.  This  year  he  was  elected  as  president  of  the  organization,  a  post  Hamshaw  said  he  sought  as  a  way  he  could  contribute  more  to  Addison  County. “It’s  a  way  to  reach  out  more  and  become  more  involved  in  the  commu-­ nity,  and  have  the  opportunity  for  more  direct  interactions  with  the  town,â€?  Hamshaw  said.

His  term  will  be  for  one  year,  and  Hamshaw  said  the  board  of  directors  (See  Watershed,  Page  3) CLARIFICATION:  Regarding  the  Independent’s  March  27,  Page  1A  story  “College  gives  town  parcel  be-­ hind  Ilsley�:  It  should  be  noted  that  Middlebury  College  already  owned  78  percent  of  the  1.4-­acre  “economic  development  initiative�  property  lo-­ cated  behind  the  Ilsley  Library.  The  originally  proposed  town-­gown  real  estate  swap  called  for  Middlebury  College  to  give  the  Lazarus  building  property  at  20  Main  St.  to  the  town  in  exchange  for  the  22  percent  of  the  economic  development  property  that  the  town  owned.  The  college  has  instead  elected  to  give  the  town  the  Lazarus  property  and  its  78-­percent  share  of  the  economic  development  property,  so  the  town  could  decide  how  to  develop  the  entire  1.4-­acre  parcel.

1HZ SURJUDP ¿JKWV Middlebury College tuition going up hunger  in  Bristol By  ZACH  DESPART BRISTOL  —  An  expanding  food  program  at  Bristol  Elemen-­ tary  School  will  give  more  children  access  to  healthy  food  during  the  week,  and  also  on  weekends.

The  initiative,  called  “Bites  in  a  Bag,�  is  a  partnership  between  the  Bristol  Have-­A-­Heart  Food  Shelf,  the  Bristol  Elementary  food  service  staff  and  parent  volunteers.

The  group  sends  students  home  at  the  end  of  each  week  with  a  snack  bag  stocked  with  foods  such  as  cheese  sticks,  yogurt,  popcorn,  fruits  and  vegetables.

Rebecca  Price,  the  director  of  the  Have-­a-­Heart  Food  Shelf,  which  is  based  at  the  St.  Ambrose  church  in  Bristol,  said  Bites  in  a  Bag  was  a  big  success  when  it  began  last  year.  “It’s  a  very  important  program,�  Price  said.  “Only  nutritious  food  goes  in  those  backpacks,  and  no  one  should  go  hungry.�

Funding  for  the  program  comes  from  a  federal  grant  administered  by  the  Food  and  Nutrition  Service,  a  division  of  the  USDA.   It  was  modeled  after  a  program  run  by  the  Vermont  Food  Bank  in  other  schools  across  the  state,  which  tar-­ gets  students  that  qualify  for  free  or  reduced-­price  lunches.  The  vol-­ unteers  involved  said  they  hope  to  eventually  integrate  Bristol  El-­ ementary  School  into  that  program,  VR WKDW RWKHU VFKRROV LQ WKH ÂżYH town  Addison  Northeast  Supervi-­ sory  Union  could  participate.  This  could  be  more  easily  accomplished  than  starting  from  scratch,  since  the  infrastructure  for  such  a  program  is  already  in  place  at  Bristol  Elemen-­ tary. “We’re  hoping  to  hook  up  with  food  programs  across  the  state,â€? Â

Price  said.  “There  are  a  lot  more  kids  out  there  we  could  reach,  but  we  don’t  have  the  resources  at  this  point.�

Volunteers  work  with  food  shelf  organizers  and  the  Bristol  Elemen-­ tary  food  service  staff  to  create  a  budget  for  the  program  and  place  wholesale  orders.  Every  Friday,  two  parent  volunteers  stuff  the  bags  full  of  the  healthy  snacks  and  deliver  them  to  classrooms.  This  year,  the  program  serves  36  stu-­ GHQWV 3ULFH VDLG DQ DI¿OLDWLRQ ZLWK a  larger  organization  like  the  Ver-­ mont  Food  Bank  would  help  Bites  in  a  Bag  serve  more  students  in  the  future.

When  the  food  shelf  asked  for  feedback  from  the  25  initial  recipi-­ ents  and  their  parents,  Price  said  what  organizers  heard  was  positive. “It  was  wonderful;͞  they  all  said,  ‘This  is  great,’�  Price  said.  “It  re-­ ally  helps  them  out  a  lot  just  to  get  through  the  weekend.�

Price  said  that  teaching  good  eating  habits  is  essential  because  of  Addison  County’s  agricultural  roots.

The  total  annual  cost  of  the  pro-­ gram  is  $4,000.  Last  year  children  EHQH¿WHG IURP D JUDQW IURP Catholic  Charities,  while  donations  to  the  food  shelf  funded  the  rest.  Price  said  the  cost  of  running  the  program  this  year  is  slightly  higher  than  expected,  and  donations  to  the  food  shelf  are  always  welcomed.

Residents  interested  in  donat-­ ing  to  the  program  should  send  checks  addressed  to  Rebecca  Price,  Have-­A-­Heart  Food  Shelf  Director,  928  Stony  Hill  Road,  Bristol,  VT  05443.  Write  “Bites  in  a  Bag�  in  the  memo  line.  For  questions,  call  3ULFH DW

Separately,  Vice  President  for  Planning  and  Assessment  Su-­ san  Campbell  Baldridge  briefed  trustees  on  the  state  of  the  online  learning  landscape  within  higher  education.  The  presentation  was  a  follow-­up  to  the  board’s  discus-­ sion  in  December  of  a  report  by  the  Online  Pedagogy  Working  Group.  Baldridge  provided  examples  of  other  institutions’  goals  for  engag-­ ing  in  online  initiatives  and  showed  how  technology  is  employed  in  a  spectrum  of  course  formats,  from  traditional  face-­to-­face  classes  to  fully  online  courses  and  MOOCs  (Massive  Open  Online  Courses).  She  also  noted  that  institutions  need  to  embrace  technological  in-­ novations  that  enhance  teaching  DQG OHDUQLQJ DQG VKH LGHQWL¿HG SL-­ lot  projects  under  way  to  employ  these  strategies  in  some  of  Middle-­ bury’s  graduate  programs.

Board  members  also  discussed  the  process  for  the  upcoming  presiden-­ tial  search,  including  the  makeup  of  the  search  committee.  Trustees  expect  to  announce  the  members  of  the  committee  by  late  March,  along  with  a  timetable  for  the  search. Â

Counseling Service of Addison County, Inc. and Hospice Volunteer Services make  their  home  in  Addison  County.  Andrews  in  his  talk  included  the  East-­ ern  Ratsnake,  a  species  native  to  the  Eastern  U.S.  that  can  grow  up  to  six  feet  long. “It’s  a  completely  harmless  snake,�  Hamshaw  assured.  “But  it’s  one  of  the  larger,  longer  snake  species  people  aren’t  familiar  with.�

The  Watershed  Center  also  main-­ tains  a  4-­acre  parcel  in  downtown  Bristol,  just  off  Mountain  Street  near  the  elementary  school.  Hamshaw  said  he  hopes  the  Watershed  will  do  more  with  that  land  this  year. “One  of  our  goals  next  year  is  to  reach  out  to  the  community  and  better  utilize  that  property,�  Hamshaw  said.  “That  ties  into  the  other  goal  of  the  Watershed,  which  is  to  promote  the  local  community.�

Hamshaw  said  the  group  hopes  to  draw  up  a  new  map  for  its  larger  prop-­ erty  to  help  residents  explore  the  full  potential  of  the  land. “The  last  map  is  from  quite  a  while  DJR DQG GRHVQÂśW UHĂ€HFW QHZHU DGGL-­

Hamshaw  said  he  hopes  his  tenure  as  president  is  a  successful  one,  and  that  he  is  able  to  strengthen  the  ties  between  the  Watershed  and  the  com-­ munity. “I  think  the  Watershed  is  a  critical  organization  that’s  enabled  a  lot  of  people  to  maintain  access  to  a  really  beautiful  piece  of  property,�  Ham-­ shaw  said.  “In  a  few  minutes  people  can  be  out  in  this  wild  property  and  be  with  unique  wildlife.  It’s  kind  of  a  grounding  place  for  a  lot  of  people.�

Wage  hike  deserves  Senate  OK Gov.  Shumlin’s  call  for  an  increase  in  the  minimum  wage  hike  to  $10.10  an  hour  by  2017  is  not  only  the  right  thing  to  do,  it  also  makes  economic  sense.

No  reasonable  person  can  argue  that  a  lower  wage  is  good  for  business  or  the  nation’s  economy.  The  economic  goal  of  the  nation  should  be  to  create  and  nurture  a  vibrant  and  thriving  middle  class,  which  includes  those  at  the  lower  end  of  the  wage  scale  who  see  the  merits  of  hard  work  yield  a  lifestyle  that,  at  the  very  least,  can  put  food  on  the  table  and  shelter  overhead.  Moving  Vermont’s  minimum  wage  from  its  current  $8.73  per  hour  to  $10.10  over  the  next  three  years  is  gradual  enough  to  allow  business  owners  to  adjust  to  added  cost  and  plan  accordingly,  while  PDNLQJ D VLJQL¿FDQW GLIIHUHQW WR WKRVH DW WKH ORZHU HQG RI WKH ZDJH scale.  A  worker  making  minimum  wage  today  with  a  40-­hour-­ per  week  job  earns  pre-­tax  wages  of  $18,158  annually;͞  at  $10.10,  those  pre-­tax  wages  will  be  $21,008.  For  a  couple,  or  family,  that’s  roughly  a  $6,000  difference.  Pump  that  money  into  the  local  economy  (and  you  can  be  sure  all  of  it  would  be  spent),  and  that  makes  a  difference,  too.  The  wage  increase  would  affect  about  16,000  Vermonters  who  earn  less  than  $9  per  hour,  and  another  24,000  wage  earners  who  make  up  to  $10  per  hour,  according  to  a  report  of  non-­agricultural  sectors  in  2012.

Some  critics  complain  that  businesses  could  be  put  at  a  disadvantage  when  competing  against  other  states,  and  that  “wage  creep�  will  see  wages  go  up  throughout  all  sectors.

As  to  the  latter  concern,  Shumlin  matter-­of-­factly  says  he’s  all  in  favor  of  “wage  creep,â€?  noting  it  has  the  same  effect  of  pumping  more  money  into  the  local  economy,  which  stimulates  growth  and  reduces  wage  disparity. $V IRU WKH ÂżUVW FRQFHUQ WKH JRYHUQRU ZDV DEOH WR HQWLFH IHOORZ New  England  governors,  along  with  New  York,  to  raise  their  PLQLPXP ZDJHV VLPXOWDQHRXVO\ 7KDW NHHSV WKH SOD\LQJ ÂżHOG OHYHO IRU WKH 1HZ (QJODQG VWDWHV DQG SUHYHQWV RQH VWDWH IURP SURÂżWLQJ DW the  expense  of  the  others.  If  the  proposed  legislation  passes,  wages  will  go  up  about  $0.45  per  hour  for  the  next  three  years  starting  in  January  2015,  then  revert  EDFN WR D VWDQGDUG RI OLYLQJ LQĂ€DWLRQDU\ DGMXVWPHQW DQQXDOO\ DV LW LV today. &DYHDWV VKRXOG EH FRQVLGHUHG IRU WKH VWDWHÂśV VLJQLÂżFDQW VHDVRQDO workforce  to  ensure  those  sectors  of  the  economy  continue  to  thrive,  but  otherwise  it’s  an  initiative  that’s  good  for  business,  good  for  people,  and  again  puts  the  state  at  the  forefront  of  an  important  issue  that  resonates  with  those  creating  the  jobs  of  tomorrow.  It  has  passed  the  House;Íž  it’s  now  up  to  the  Senate  to  approve  the  measure  and  send  it  to  the  governor  for  his  signature.

Letters to the Editor Kindness  of  community  truly  evident  in  time  of  need So  many  times  all  we  hear  and  see  are  the  bad  things  people  do  and  say  to  each  other.  Recently,  I  had  a  bad  experience  that  really  proved  the  other  side,  the  good  side,  of  people.  Let  me  start  from  the  begin-­ ning:  On  Feb.  4  ,  while  at  Mr.  Ups  Restaurant  for  lunch,  I  left  my  table,  took  a  few  steps  and  fell  over  a  landing  I  did  not  see.  People  came  running  over  to  me,  brought  me  water  and  called  911.  The  staff  even  told  diners  their  lunches  may  be  late  because  of  this  situation.  The Â

ambulance  came  and  transported  me  to  Porter  Hospital.  After  it  was  determined  I  had  fractured  my  right  hip,  Dr.  Benz  was  contacted  and  he  operated  immediately  that  same  afternoon.  For  the  next  six  days  the  staff  at  Porter  gave  me  excellent  care,  after  which  I  was  transferred  to  Helen  Porter  Rehab  Center  where  I  spent  the  next  three  and  a  half  weeks.  The  staff,  nurses,  aids,  physical  therapists  and  occupational  therapists,  could  not  have  been  more  concerned,  helpful,  friendly  people.

I  also  wish  to  thank  everyone  who  stopped  in  to  visit,  made  phone  calls,  sent  a  card  or  memento.  It  is  genuinely  uplifting  to  know  so  many  good  people  are  out  there  ready  and  willing  to  help  when  and  where  they  can.  Another  special  kindness  needs  to  be  recognized.  Recently,  I  was  in  dire  need  of  some  medical  supplies.  The  package  was  to  be  delivered  on  a  particular  day.  When  my  mail  car-­ rier  came  I  didn’t  hear  him  knock  on  the  door,  so  he  left  a  paper  that  (See  Letter,  Page  5)

VUHS  graduate  Jeffrey  Farnsworth  promoted  to  army  brigadier  general PETERSON  AIR  FORCE  BASE,  Colo.  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  A  1981  graduate  of  Vergennes  Union  High  School  has  become  a  one-­star  general  in  the  U.S.  Army.

Jeffrey  A.  Farnsworth  was  promoted  to  brigadier  general  March  13  in  a  ceremony  at  the  Pentagon.  His  parents  are  Carol  and  Allen  Farnsworth  of  Waltham.

Farnsworth  is  the  deputy  commanding  general  for  operations  at  U.S.  Army  Space  and  Missile  Defense  Command/Army  Forces  Strategic  Command  (USASMDC/ ARSTRAT). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vermont  has  a  rich  history  of  patri-­ ots  and  public  servants  advancing  our  interests  as  a  nation,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  communities  and  people  of  Waltham,  Vergennes,  Ferrisburgh  and  Addison  provided  a  great  start.  Growing  up  in  the  foothills  of  the  Green  Mountains  along  Lake  Champlain  where  our Â

nation  was  founded  inspired  my  imagination  and  invoked  my  passion  to  explore  the  world  and  make  a  posi-­ tive  difference.â&#x20AC;?

Gaby  is  originally  from  Munich,  Germany,  and  married  Jeff  in  Vergennes  during  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;snowstorm  of  the  centuryâ&#x20AC;?  March  13,  1993.  Allen  and  Carol  Farnsworth  still  reside  at  Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  boyhood  home  in  Waltham  just  outside  Vergennes.  His  brother,  Paul,  and  sister-­in-­law,  Jodi,  live  with  their  two  children  in  East  Middlebury.

As  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;DCG-­O,â&#x20AC;?  Farnsworth  assists  Mann  on  all  operational  matters  anywhere  in  the  world.  Based  at  the  USASMDC/ARSTRAT Â

VERGENNES  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Vergennes  Community  Food  Shelf  is  a  beehive  of  activity  during  November  and  December,  helping  give  families  in  Addison  County  a  Thanksgiving  and  Christmas  feast.  Of  course,  it  is  always  hectic.  Through  the  past  year  we  served  477  households  (more  than  6,000  people)  from  28  different  towns  throughout  the  county.  Often  during  the  year  close  to  40  people  stand  in  line  for  one  of  their  bi-­monthly  visits.  As  most  Vergennes  Congregational  Church  members  know,  we  provide  fresh  eggs  and  milk,  as  well  as  frozen  meat,  bread,  soup,  cereal,  rice,  pasta,  canned  tuna,  tomato  sauce,  toiletries,  fresh  vegetables  in  season  â&#x20AC;Ś  the  list  goes  on.  7KLV PLQLVWU\ IRU WKH EHQHÂżW RI RWKHUV

Since  its  beginnings  in  1991,  the  Vergennes  Community  Food  Shelf  has  grown  from  a  simple  idea  to  help  the  hungry,  to  the  room  behind  the Â

Congregational  church  kitchen,  to  its  own  heated  space  in  the  little  red  house  next  to  the  Manse.  The  number  of  volunteers  has  also  multiplied.  For  years  a  small  group  of  six  or  so  divided  the  duties.  Now  there  are  14  who  share  certain  days  each  month,  sometimes  with  four  working  together.  In  November  we  all  came  together  for  a  potluck  dinner  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  great  food  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  to  share  our  experiences.  Volunteers  from  St.  Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Catholic  Church,  St.  Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Episcopal  Church,  the  New  Haven  Christian  Reformed  Church,  plus  Vergennes  Congregational  Church  members  keep  the  shelves  stocked  and  the  hungry  fed.  We  who  work  in  the  food  shelf,  including  director  extraordinaire  Mary  Ann  Castimore,  want  to  thank  all  who  contribute  food  and  funds.  Without  your  help  we  could  not  keep  the  food  shelf  open  and  serving  our  community  in  need.

e h t W f o e ek t e P ! e i n n i W s i e m a n y m , Hi Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very content where I am... thank you very much. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting older, the basement staircase is becoming more of a challenge and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run as fast as I used to, but I still get out and terrify a squirrel every now and then. In the meantime, I like to keep Mom company while she works at her desk, and when the boys come home to visit, we go on walks

down the road together. The highlight of my day is when Dad lets me lick the bottom of the yogurt container.

Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty good for an old girl like me.

Vt. marten population growing VERMONT — The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department believes there is an expanding population of American marten in Vermont.

Marten are small carnivores in the weasel family. They are smaller than a housecat and are closely related to the more common and VOLJKWO\ ODUJHU ¿VKHU Though marten were extinct in Vermont by the early 1900s, evidence collected over the past two decades indicates that two small populations of marten have become established in the state.

The frequency of recent sightings leads biologists to believe that the populations are expanding.

This expansion comes despite numerous obstacles, including the continued fragmentation of Vermont’s forests, competition ZLWK DQ DEXQGDQW ¿VKHU SRSXOD-­ tion, and milder winters. Marten have been spotted on remote trail cameras and marten tracks have EHHQ LGHQWL¿HG LQ VHYHUDO ORFDWLRQV “All of this evidence leads us

to believe that there may be more marten out there than we had previ-­ ously thought,” said Chris Bernier, furbearer biologist for the Fish & Wildlife Department.

According to Bernier, Vermont currently contains two distinct populations of marten. The popu-­ lation in the southern Green Mountains may have originated from 115 individuals that were released from 1989 to 1991 by U.S. Forest Service and Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department staff as part of a marten reintroduction effort.

Follow-­up studies in the mid-­ 1990s failed to capture any signs of the animals, leaving research-­ ers to believe that the release was not successful. However, recent evidence of the presence of marten in this region indicates that some individuals may have become established as a result of this effort.

Vermont’s other marten popula-­ tion is in the Northeast Kingdom and likely originated from New Hampshire or Canada.

Fisher are a primary competi-­ tor of marten, occupying similar habitats and eating many of the same foods. Fisher have also been known to prey on marten them-­ selves. Marten, however, take advantage of their small size in deep snow, hunting for rodents in tunnels beneath the snow that are LQDFFHVVLEOH WR ¿VKHU “It’s very encouraging to see these animals become estab-­ lished in Vermont,” said Bernier.

“Marten depend on large blocks of unfragmented forests. Their return signals that land conservation efforts are paying off for marten and other rare species in Vermont, and that these large unfragmented forests are being properly managed by biologists and foresters.”

“Of the 17 marten that wildlife biologists have been able to exam-­ ine to date, 15 were juveniles, providing evidence that marten are reproducing and are poten-­ tially expanding in Vermont,” said Bernier.
