H.40  would  create minimum  setbacks By  JOHN  FLOWERS MONTPELIER  â€”  The  Senate  Natural  Resources  &  Energy  Committee  has  passed  out  a  bill  that  would  among  other  things  set  up  minimum  setback  requirements  for Â

solar  energy  projects  and  require  the  Vermont  Public  Service  Board  to  ensure  the  projects  comply  with  screening  requirements  that  would  be  established  by  host  communities. Sen.  Chris  Bray,  D-­New  Haven,  and  chairman  of  the  committee,  called  the  proposed  legislation  â€œa  sea-­change  for  the  relationship  between  municipalities  and  the Â

PSB  on  energy.  (Municipalities)  are  given  deference  and  control  that  they’ve  never  had  before  in  this  sort  of  development.  It’s  my  hope  that  this  gives  them  some  comfort  as  these  things  develop,  that  they  are  not  just  going  to  be  consulted,  that  they  are  going  to  be  able  to  shape  how  these  things  are  built  in  their  communities.â€?

6RODU PLVÂżUH VFUDS LW WU\ DJDLQ Legislation  can  be  well  intended,  but  misses  the  mark  so  far  it  actually  makes  things  worse.  Such  is  the  case  with  recent  changes  to  H.40,  the  renewable  energy  bill  that  passed  out  of  the  Senate  Natural  Resources  and  Energy  Committee  last  Thurs-­ day  on  a  5-­0  vote.  At  issue  was  language  added  to  establish  minimum  setbacks  and  provide  towns  the  right  to  impose  appropriate  screening  standards. The  intent  was  spot  on.  The  details  were  not.  The  committee  proposed  mini-­ mum  setbacks  that  are  so  lax  they  are  illogical.  For  the  smallest  solar  array  proj-­ ects  (under  15  kW),  no  setbacks  would  be  required.  That  means  neighbors  could  put  up  a  solar  panel  or  two  butt  against  a  property  line.  For  projects  under  150  kW,  the  minimum  setback  would  be  25  feet  from  an  abutting  property  line;Íž  for  projects  over  150  kW,  a  50-­foot  setback  is  proposed.  If  the  project  abuts  a  town  road  or  highway,  the  setback  would  be  40  to  100  feet.  In  all  instances,  that  is  smack  in  your  face. As  New  Haven  Selectman  Jim  Walsh  says  in  a  story  in  today’s  paper,  in  most  cases  that’s  less  than  the  50-­foot  setback  the  town  currently  has  to  build  a  shed  or  a  shack,  let  alone  the  100-­feet  setback  required  of  any  commercial  development.  As  for  the  highway  setback  at  40  feet,  Walsh  noted  that  puts  development  of  so-­ lar  projects  within  the  town’s  right-­of-­way.  The  setbacks,  most  agree,  are  absurd. Sen.  Chris  Bray,  D-­New  Haven,  chariman  of  the  committee,  nonetheless,  her-­ alded  a  â€œsea-­change  in  directionâ€?  for  the  state  by  giving  towns  more  say,  and  that  was  true  to  a  small  degree.  Towns  would  now  gain  automatic  party  status  (but  most  towns  do  this  anyway),  and  developers  would  have  to  follow  town  standards  for  screening  projects,  although  the  standards  can  be  no  more  onerous  than  on  any  similar  commercial  development.  Both  measures  make  sense,  but  neither  address  the  bigger  problems. What  has  irked  opponents  is  the  lack  of  transparency  leading  up  to  projects  and  the  lack  of  appropriate  setbacks.  And  by  establishing  setbacks  at  such  low  minimums,  these  new  provisions  would  codify  into  law  the  very  thing  that  has  outraged  residents  and  towns.  Because  of  that,  the  proposal  should  be  defeated  DV LW LV QRZ ZULWWHQ ² RU DPHQGHG RQ WKH 6HQDWH Ă€RRU **********  But  let’s  back  up.  There  are  solar  projects  that  are  being  done  well.  In  New  Haven,  the  Cross  Pollination  solar  array  that  lies  two  miles  north  of  Junction  17  on  Route  7  is  perfectly  sited.  It  sits  about  400  feet  off  Route  7,  is  angled  in  such  a  way  as  to  minimize  the  scenic  impact  of  the  panels,  and  encourages  the  graz-­ LQJ RI VKHHS LQ WKH ÂżHOG DURXQG WKH SDQHOV ,WÂśV RYHUDOO HIIHFW LV RQH LQ ZKLFK WKH commercial  solar  array  meshes  well  with  surrounding  agricultural  uses,  and  it  adds  interest  to  the  scenic  environment.  In  Middlebury,  a  groSolar  project  behind  the  Suburban  Propane  lot  (across  the  road  from  Foster  Motors  on  Route  7)  is  so  well  landscaped  and  hidden  be-­ hind  the  initial  façade  of  commercial  buildings  that  it  barely  noticeable,  yet  of  VLJQLÂżFDQW VL]H $QRWKHU 0LGGOHEXU\ GHYHORSPHQW QHDU WKH 5HVLGHQFH DW 2WWHU Creek  demonstrates  that  solar  arrays  can  be  located  off  the  major  thoroughfares,  but  close  to  three-­phase  power,  and  completely  avoid  any  scenic  degradation.  What’s  grating  is  when  solar  projects  are  smack  up  against  the  roadway  in  rural  areas,  blocking  scenic  vistas  or  so  close  to  abutting  properties  as  to  be  of-­ fensive  and  ruinous  to  that  person’s  property  values. It  need  not  be  so.  The  committee  could  have  recommended  renewable  energy  developers  adhere  to  existing  setbacks  for  commercial  projects,  or  because  solar  projects  are  often  larger  than  most  commercial  projects  the  committee  might  have  suggested  adding  to  those  setbacks.  Rather  than  25  feet,  250  feet  may  be  more  appropriate.  That’s  the  scale  of  change  that  needs  to  be  made.  %XW WLPH LV VKRUW WR GHEDWH VXFK VSHFLÂżF FKDQJHV DQG VXJJHVW WKHP DV ODZ ,QVWHDG KHUHÂśV LV D VKRUW WHUP Âż[ $PHQG WKH 6HQDWH FRPPLWWHHÂśV SURSRVHG setbacks  as  the  same  for  all  commercial  properties;Íž  then  sunset  the  setback  and  screening  provisions  for  a  year  or  until  new  legislation  replaces  it.  That  gives  towns  some  of  the  involvement  they  need,  adds  temporary  screening  and  set-­ back  requirements  as  with  any  other  commercial  property,  while  still  providing  ample  room  for  the  growth  of  renewable  energy.  It’s  still  not  ideal,  but  it’s  progress  without  causing  egregious  harm.  Next  year  the  legislature  could  try  again  to  ensure  the  state  maximizes  its  renewable  en-­ ergy  capacity  while  preserving  the  state’s  bucolic  ambiance.  The  two  goals  are  compatible;Íž   the  politics  should  be  as  well.

Letters to the Editor Paid  sick  days  a  boon  to  Vermont In  the  Addison  Independent’s  Legislative  Review  last  week  (April  30,  2015),  Rep.  Fred  Baser  concluded  with  comments  in  op-­ position  to  a  House  bill  mandat-­ ing  paid  sick  days  for  Vermont  workers.  I  happen  to  know  Fred  Baser  and  have  sat  across  from  him  in  labor  negotiations.  I  am  of  the  opinion  that  he  is  intelligent,  personable  and  fair-­minded,  but  I  think  that  he  is  wrong  in  oppos-­ ing  paid  sick  days  for  Vermont’s  workers. Opposition  to  paid  sick  days  is  short-­sighted.  To  believe  that  sick  OHDYH OHJLVODWLRQ WR EHQHÂżW ZRUNHUV will  therefore  be  bad  for  business  is  to  fail  to  understand  the  concept  of  public  good.  What  is  good  for  working  people  is  most  often  good  for  the  economy  and  for  society  at  large,  and  therefore  good  for  business.  The  idea  of  allowing  workers  who  are  sick  or  who  have  a  sick  child  to  stay  at  home  with-­ out  losing  a  day’s  pay  is  a  good  idea.  It  is  a  humane  response  to  a  situation  we  all  face  in  our  lives.  It  is  enough,  already,  that  there  is  illness;Íž  no  need  to  add  the  punish-­ ment  of  an  economic  penalty.  We  certainly  do  not  choose  illness.  It  comes  upon  us  unbidden. Opposition  to  paid  sick  days  shows  a  lack  of  concern  for  public  health.  Do  we  want  to  be  served  by  D UHVWDXUDQW ZRUNHU ZLWK WKH Ă€X RU a  cook  with  a  lung  infection?  Do  we  want  to  drop  off  our  children  at  a  day  care  where  parents  have  left  their  sick  child  because  they  could  not  afford  to  lose  a  day’s  pay?  Have  we  not  seen  the  effects  on  productivity  when  one  employee  brings  illness  into  the  workplace?  Do  business  owners  share  a  sense  of  responsibility  for  the  good  of  society,  or  is  that  not  good  for  business? Opposition  to  paid  sick  days  is  a  failure  to  understand  the  needs  of  others.  Low-­income  workers  struggle  daily  to  provide  decent  housing,  transportation,  childcare  and  healthcare  to  their  families.  Refusing  to  grant  paid  sick  days  is  simply  inhumane;Íž  it  is  a  failure  to Â

Fred  feels  that  this  bill  will  not  pass  the  Senate  this  year.  I  can  only  hope  that  it  will,  and  I  now  appeal  to  our  two  senators,  Claire  Ayer  and  Christopher  Bray,  to  sup-­ port  this  legislation  in  the  Senate.  It  is  the  right  thing  to  do  for  our  workers,  for  our  state,  for  our  soci-­ ety,  and  especially  for  business.

The  project  will  replace  the  exist-­ ing  bridge,  which  is  in  poor  condi-­ tion,  with  a  new  bridge  that  meets  current  design  standards.  The  new  bridge  will  be  a  precast  pre-­stressed  concrete  voided  slab  bridge,  which  has  a  relatively  short  construction  period  and  comparatively  low  con-­ struction  and  maintenance  costs.  The  new  bridge  will  be  51  feet  in Â

length  and  35  feet  wide  with  two  11-­ foot  travel  lanes,  two  2-­foot  curbs  and  two  4-­foot  shoulders  featuring  a  two-­rail  box  beam  bridge  railing.  The  existing  bridge  is  28.6  feet  wide. The  bid  price  for  the  construc-­ tion  of  the  bridge  is  $1.13  million.  There  is  no  local  share  for  the  town  (See  Bridge,  Page  15)

—  spending  hours  with  me  after  school,  showing  me  how  to  project  my  voice,  deliver  a  speech  without  nervous  tics  and  become  comfort-­ able  speaking  to  crowd  containing  thousands  of  people. “This  has  given  me  a  certain  con-­ ÂżGHQFH WKDW , QHYHU KDG EHIRUH $I-­ ter  delivering  a  six  page,  12-­minute  speech  that  I  wrote  based  on  the  Constitution,  from  memory  and  without  a  podium,  I  felt  as  though  I  could  do  just  about  anything.  That  speech  required  months  of  presen-­ tation  practices,  memorization  and  critique.  It  taught  me  how  to  man-­ age  my  time,  gave  me  a  new  appre-­ ciation  for  patience  and  ultimately  made  me  into  what  I  believe  is  a  better  student.â€? North  added  that  he  would  not  have  come  to  Clarkson  if  it  weren’t  for  Steponaitis’  guidance.  He  said  Steponaitis  encouraged  him  to  seek  ¿QDQFLDO DLG VR KH ZRXOG EH DEOH WR attend  the  University.

“But  other  towns  might  not  be  able  to  pull  something  together,â€?  he  said. Walsh  also  noted  the  possibility  that  many  developers  might  devise  solar  projects  just  under  150  kW  to  avoid  the  greater  setback  requirements.  He  pointed  to  a  master  list  of  projects  statewide  showing  a  substantial  number  of  projects  in  the  130  kW  to  149  kW  range. ,W ZRXOG EH GLIÂżFXOW IRU WKH Legislature  to  expand  the  solar  project  setback  requirements  in  the  future  once  the  baseline  has  been  set,  Walsh  said.  He  is  hoping  that  the  current  draft  of  H.40  is  reworked,  or  killed. The  legislation  was  passed  out  of  the  Senate  Natural  Resources  and  Energy  Committee  with  a  5-­0  vote  on  Wednesday,  May  6.  Bray  said  WKH ELOO FRXOG UHDFK WKH 6HQDWH Ă€RRU by  Monday,  May  11.  If  the  Senate  endorses  the  bill,  it  would  then  go  back  to  the  House.  If  the  House  concurs  with  the  Senate,  H.40  would  go  to  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin’s  desk. Walsh  doesn’t  want  the  bill  to  get  that  far. “It’s  not  over  until  they’ve  left  Montpelier,  and  they  are  still  there,â€?  Walsh  said.  â€œMaybe  this  is  not  the  ¿QDO GUDIW ´ It  was  a  month  ago  that  Bray  sought  legislative  approval  for  a  â€œworking  groupâ€?  to  study  the  manner  in  which  the  PSB  approves  energy  projects,  and  propose  ways  to  improve  that  review  process.  The  group  would  have  been  made  up  of  various  stakeholders  who  would  have  recommended  legislation  for  introduction  during  the  2016  session. But  that  idea  was  taken  off  the  table,  Bray  said,  for  two  reasons.  First,  lawmakers  reasoned  the  state  already  has  a  joint  House/Senate Â

energy  committee  that  could  study  the  issue.  Second,  Bray  said  many  legislators  felt  it  was  important  to  tackle  the  issue  this  session,  rather  than  defer  action. Bray  believes  this  latest  legislative  attempt,  through  H.40,  will  be  the  ¿UVW LQ DQ RQJRLQJ HIIRUW WR DGMXVW DQG tweak  the  state’s  solar  siting  rules  LQ D PDQQHU WKDW VDWLVÂżHV UHVLGHQWV communities  and  renewable  energy  advocates.  The  bill  calls  for  a  report  on  solar  siting  pertaining  to  screenings  and  setbacks  to  be  made  to  House  and  Senate  on  Natural  Resources  and  Energy  by  2017,  but  6PLWK DQG VRPH WRZQ RIÂżFLDOV WKLQN that’s  too  late. “We  are  going  to  see  a  lot  of  damage  to  our  state’s  aesthetics  by Â

then,â€?  Smith  said.  â€œThe  gold  rush  is  happening  now,  and  is  going  to  ramp  up  through  2015  and  2016  to  take  advantage  of  the  Investment  Tax  Credit.  (It  would  be)  no  help  with  this  report  due  Jan.  2017,  except  maybe  it  will  report  just  how  badly  everything  has  gone.â€? But  Bray  remains  optimistic  that  a  more  thorough  and  thoughtful  approach  would  prove  useful.  â€œI  still  believe  there  is  a  big  opportunity  to  do  better  work  in  the  coming  years  if  we  engage  the  primary  stakeholders  in  these  projects,â€?  Bray  said.  â€œThese  are  meaningful  steps  that  are  in  H.40  now‌  But  I  think  as  we  have  more  experience  (with  the  new  rules),  we’ll  want  to  do  better,  still.â€?

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society

Pet Pages

I’m  Boo,  an  affectionate  17  year  old!  I  really  don’t  look  or  act  it  though,  I  have  a  very  young  spirit  and  am  in  good  health. I’m  very  outgoing  and  get  along  with  everyone  -­  cats,  dogs  and  children  of  all  ages.  I  also  like  to  play  every  now  and  then.  Age  won’t  stop  me  from  having  fun! If  you‘re  looking  for  a  fun,  social,  lovable  guy  â€“  a  real  family  cat,  come  meet  me  today!

Meet  Java!  She’s  a  spunky  9  year  old  Jack  Russell  Terrier  who  came  to  Homeward  Bound  in  February  after  being  surrendered  by  her  owners.  Java  does  well  with  children,  but  will  need  to  be  the  only  furry  friend  in  her  new  home.  She  enjoys  going  for  walks  and  playing  fetch  with  a  tennis  ball.  When  she’s  not  being  active,  Java  likes  to  curl  up  on  your  lap  and  snuggle  with  you  for  hours. Â

Meet  Mickey!  Mickey  is  a  handsome  13  year  old  who  recently  came  to  Homeward  Bound.  He  was  surrendered  by  his  owner  as  he  became  very  sick  and  could  no  longer  care  for  him.  Mickey  is  a  very  affectionate  guy.  He  FDQ EH D OLWWOH VK\ DW ¿ UVW EXW LW GRHVQœW take  much  for  him  to  warm  up  to  you.  He  loves  to  be  rubbed  under  his  chin  and  gets  along  great  with  other  cats.

THE  SAFETY  OF  certain  cat  litters  has  given  rise  to  heated  debates  on  message  boards  and  pet  forums.  Many  people  have  said  that  the  clumping  clay  litters  that  have  been  around  for  decades  may  be  contributing  to  various  ailments  in  cats.

Safety  of  clumping  cat  litter  challenged

I’m  Missy!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  in  May  2014  after  my  loving  owner  passed  away.  I  was  a  little  overweight  when  I  got  here  but  the  staff  has  been  taking  good  care  of  me  and  I’ve  been  able  to  lose  7  pounds  and  feel  better  than  ever! I’m  a  very  playful,  loving  girl;  mice  toys  and  wand  toys  are  my  favorites!  I  also  get  along  well  with  other  cats.  Come  meet  me  today,  you’ll  fall  in  love!

Meet  Roxy!  Roxy  is  16  years  old  and  arrived  at  Homeward  Bound  with  her  housemate,  Boo,  after  they  were  surrendered  by  their  owners.  Roxy  is  more  laid  back  than  Boo.  She  loves  meeting  new  people,  you  just  have  to  go  slow  with  her.  Once  she  warms  up  to  you,  she’s  a  loving  lap  cat.  She’s  also  good  with  other  animals  and  children,  but  would  do  best  in  a  low-­key  home  with  not  a  lot  going  on. Â

 I’m  Suki!  I’m  a  handsome  8  ½  year  old  Siamese  who’s  a  real  â€œpeople  person!â€?  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  in  December  2013  after  being  surrendered  by  my  owner. I  love  to  tell  stories;  I  always  have  so  much  to  say!  I  love  to  snuggle  and  would  love  to  have  a  couch  to  snuggle  with  you  on!  I’m  IURQW GHFODZHG EXW FRXOG EHQHÂż W IURP EHLQJ an  indoor/outdoor  cat  as  I  sometimes  have  trouble  using  my  litter  box.

(MS)  â€”  The  safety  of  certain  cat  litters  has  given  rise  to  heated  debates  on  message  boards  and  pet  forums.  Many  people  have  said  that  the  clumping  clay  litters  that  have  been  around  for  decades  may  be  contributing  to  various  ailments  in  cats. Ed  Lowe  probably  had  no  idea  of  the  controversy  that  would  ensue  years  later  when  he  developed  the  ¿ UVW FOXPSLQJ FDW OLWWHU 8QWLO KLV invention,  most  cats  relieved  them-­ selves  outdoors  or  frequented  litter  ER[HV Âż OOHG ZLWK DVKHV RU VDQG —  easy  materials  for  the  average  homeowner  to  keep  on  hand.  But  DVKHV DQG VDQG HDFK KDG WKHLU Ă€ DZV Neither  were  very  absorbent  nor  did  they  mask  odors  well.  Cats  could  also  track  sand  and  ashes  around  the  house  rather  easily,  leaving  a  mess  in  their  wake.  Furthermore,  litter  boxes  ¿ OOHG ZLWK VDQG RU DVKHV KDG WR EH changed  quite  frequently  to  reduce  odor. In  the  1940s,  Lowe,  a  former  sailor,  suggested  to  a  neighbor  who  had  a  cat  to  try  absorbent  clay  as  an  alternative  to  ashes  or  sand.  The  clay  material  was  made  by  Lowe’s  IDWKHUÂśV Âż UP DQG ZDV IUHTXHQWO\ XVHG to  clean  up  industrial  spills  located  in  factories.  Absorbent  clay  proved  to  offer  a  marked  improvement  over  other  litter  materials  because  it  contained  odors  and  allowed  solid  waste  to  be  more  easily  scooped  out  of  the  litter  box.  This  also  reduced  the  frequency  of  cleanings  and  how  RIWHQ WKH ER[ QHHGHG WR EH UHÂż OOHG

Lowe  marketed  his  product  as  â€œKitty  Litter.â€? Over  the  years,  scoopable  clay  OLWWHU ZDV UHÂż QHG DQG GHYHORSHG LQWR a  product  that  offered  super  absor-­ bency  and  odor  control.  This  new  product  used  clays  that  were  very  absorbent  and  would  clump  when  the  cat  urinated  on  them  thanks  to  sodium  bentonite,  the  primary  ingre-­ dient,  enabling  the  removal  of  the  clump.  Later,  silica,  another  desic-­ cant,  was  added  to  the  litter  to  make  it  even  more  absorbent.  Today’s  litters  are  manufactured  to  be  espe-­ cially  absorbent.  But  is  a  cat’s  health  LQ MHRSDUG\ DW WKH H[SHQVH RI HIÂż cient  cat  litter? The  same  clumping  abilities  that  make  scoopable  litter  so  effective  at  containing  waste  may  also  pose  a  health  risk  to  cats. The  safety  of  clumping  litter  if  ingested  has  been  questioned  in  the  past.  When  sodium  bentonite  comes  in  contact  with  liquid,  it  swells  to  approximately  15  times  its  origi-­ nal  volume.  Individuals  state  that  it  makes  sense  that,  when  the  clay  material  makes  contact  with  natural  digestive  liquids,  it  can  form  a  clump  inside  of  the  stomach  or  digestive  tract.  Clumping  in  the  stomach  mixed  with  the  drying  potential  of  silica  causes  dehydration. The  same  can  be  said  if  small  particles  of  clay  are  inhaled.  They  could  mix  with  mucus  in  the  lungs  and  cause  respiratory  distress.  Others  have  surmised  that  clump-­ ing  in  the  intestines  may  aid  the Â

collection  of  old  fecal  material,  which  could  inhibit  natural  digestion  and  lead  to  the  proliferation  of  toxic  bacteria  growth. However,  the  ASPCA  asserts  there  has  been  no  formal  clinical  evidence  to  link  clumping  litter  to  serious  health  implications.  According  to  the  ASPCAAnimal  Poison  Control  Center,  cats  that  ingest  small  amounts  of  the  litter  may  only  develop  mild  gastrointestinal  upset,  if  any  signs  at  all.  Further,  silica  and  bentonite  clay  are  naturally  occurring,  inert  materials  that  are  not  toxic.  Silica  is  frequently  found  in  regular  sand  â€”  a  material  that  was  formerly  used  as  litter.  ASPCA  guidelines  state  that  pet  owners  of  kittens  may  want  to  avoid  clumping  litters  until  the  animals  are  a  little  older,  because  their  respira-­ tory  and  digestive  systems  are  more  sensitive  than  that  of  older  cats.  Also,  if  the  cat  is  known  to  consume  large  amounts  of  litter,  or  if  the  household  also  has  a  dog  that  likes  to  snack  on  litter  and  the  hidden  surprises  found  within,  clumping  litters  should  be  avoided.  In  large  amounts,  gastroin-­ testinal  upset,  constipation  or  intes-­ tinal  obstruction  could  potentially  occur. Those  who  have  concerns  about  clumping,  scoopable  litters  can  explore  the  myriad  choices  in  litter  at  a  pet  supply  store.  Keep  in  mind,  though,  if  the  cat  doesn’t  like  the  feel  or  the  smell  of  the  litter,  he  or  she  may  want  to  do  his  or  her  business  somewhere  else.

Pet Pages Pet shelter to offer Pet First Aid class MIDDLEBURY  â€”  Homeward  Bound,  Addison  County’s  Humane  Society,  will  host  a  Pet  First  Aid  class  on  Sunday,  May  17,  at  12:30  p.m.  The  class  runs  for  five  hours  and  is  being  taught  by  Lora  Hoopes  of  Kneading  Companions.  The  class  will  cover  two  topics:  Pet  CPR  and  First  Aid,  and  Hiking  and  Walking  with  Your  Dog. In  the  Pet  CPR  and  First  Aid  portion  of  the  class,  students  will  learn  three  types  of  CPR,  restraint  and  muzzling,  rescue  breathing, Â

choking  management,  shock  management,  bleeding  protocols,  snake  bites,  insect  bites  and  stings,  pet  first  aid  kit  contents,  priorities  of  care,  primary  pet  assessment,  snout-­to-­tail  wellness  assessment,  injury  assessment,  heat  and  cold  injuries,  and  assessing  a  pet’s  vitals.  In  Hiking  and  Walking  with  Your  Dog,  students  will  learn  the  top  six  first  aid  situations  they  may  encounter  on  the  trail  and  what  pet  owners  can  do  to  be  prepared Â

while  hiking  or  walking  with  their  dog.  This  includes  types  of  trails,  weather  conditions,  essentials  needed,  and  actions  for  survival. The  cost  of  the  class  is  $100  and  a  portion  of  the  proceeds  will  be  donated  to  Homeward  Bound.  The  class  sold  out  last  year,  so  interested  parties  are  encour-­ aged  to  register  soon  at  www. KneadingCompanions.com.  The  class  takes  place  at  the  shelter,  which  is  located  at  236  Boardman  St.  in  Middlebury. Â

Pet  dander  can  be  a  complex  problem (MS)  â€”  Even  people  who  don’t  own  pets  may  have  pet  dander  in  their  homes.  Pet  dander  is  the  tiny,  sometimes  microscopic  skin  shed  by  cats,  dogs  and  other  warm-­blooded  animals,  such  as  rodents  and  birds.  Pet  dander  can  be  carried  into  homes  on  people’s  clothing,  which  is  how  even  homes  and  offices  without  pets  likely  have  pet  dander  in  them. Though  dander  is  natural,  it’s  also  an  allergy  trigger  for  many  people.  But  pet  allergies  are  not  entirely  a  result  of  pet  dander,  as  the  American  Lung  Association  notes  that  allergens  come  from  sources  other  than  pets’  skin.  For  example,  the  ALA  notes  that  urine  and  feces  from  cats,  dogs  and  other  pets  can  cause  allergic  reactions  in  some  people.  Dust  from  dried  feces  can  suspend  in  the  air  and  eventually  be  inhaled  by  people  with  allergies,  trigger-­ ing  a  reaction.  Pet  allergens  can  maintain  their  strength  for  several  months  by  sticking  to  clothing,  walls  and  other  surfaces. Pet  owners  with  pet  allergies  can  still  keep  their  pets,  but  they  must  be  prepared  to  make  extra  efforts  to  comfortably  coexist Â

Homeward  Bound

Tip  of  the  Week If  you  have  animals,  you  know  they  bring  joy,  laughter,  fun,  exer-­ cise  and  messes  into  our  lives.  While  there  are  many  great  pet  stain  and  smell  remover  products  out  there,  we  want  to  remind  you  of  one  that  is  probably  right  in Â

your  kitchen  because  messes  don’t  always  happen  at  convenient  times.  For  a  great  odor  remover,  blot  dry  the  spot,  and  sprinkle  liberally  with  baking  soda.   Let  sit  (the  longer  the  better  as  long  as  your  pet  can’t  get  to  it)  and  then  vacuum  up!  Â

If you’d like to include your pet as “Pet of the Week� simply include your pet’s name, gender, approximate age (if you know it), along with com ments about the pet’s fa vor ite ac tiv i ties, your fa vor ite ac tiv i ty with the pet, what the pet en joys eat ing, and any par tic u lar sto ries
