Inventor offers portable standing desk

By JOHN FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY — Franklin Dean-­Farrar is taking a stand for the IXWXUH KHDOWK RI WKH $PHULFDQ RI¿FH worker.

Well, he’s not actually taking a stand, as opposed to making one, to support laptop computers in a man-­ ner that will allow workers the more back-­friendly option of typing while standing instead while seated.

Dean-­Farrar got the idea for his “Nomad Stand” soon after receiving a fancy standing desk for his com-­ puter at Middlebury College, where he works as manager of athletic op-­ erations and events. His new desk actually allows him, at the push of a button, the option of having a seated or standing work position.

“People came in and saw (the new standing desk) and asked how they could get one,” Dean-­Farrar, a Brandon resident, recalled. “Having

His design featured an X-­frame foundation that could collapse for easy storage. But Dean-­Farrar learned he did not have the neces-­ sary metalsmith skills, and that ulti-­ mately sent him back to wood. He found quarter-­inch plywood to be just the right stuff.

“I started cutting, failing and try-­ ing again, and all of a sudden, I had a workable prototype,” Dean-­Farrar said. “From that, it was probably DQRWKHU PRQWK RI UH¿QLQJ WKH SURWR-­ type.”

He called that prototype the “No-­ mad Stand,” emblematic of the on-­ the-­go lifestyle that many of us lead these days in work and play. Dean-­ Farrar’s creation simply consists of four varnished plywood boards with slots that can be easily assembled on top of a regular desk surface to fash-­ ion a standing desk station ranging from 9-­ to 12 inches high, depending on the height of the user. The height RI WKH DYHUDJH RI¿FH GHVN LV DURXQG 30 inches, according to Dean-­Farrar.

So the Nomad Stand can ideally meet the needs of people up to 6 feet, 2 inches tall, he said.

Dean-­Farrar also showed how the Nomad Stand can be assembled into a smaller viewing platform for a computer tablet and iPhone.

He has established an online Kick-­ starter campaign in an effort to raise the $5,910 he believes he will need to get his product teed up for an ini-­ tial run. His campaign — which in-­ cludes a narrative about the project

Got Firewood?

We Do! Call to Schedule Delivery

We decided to build a garage/shop and incorporate solar panels. Dave from Bristol Electronics came out to advise us on our options and helped us with the correct orientation and pitch of our roof. Their prices were less expensive than the competition and for what I believe is a superior product. The installation was quick with no problems. Bristol Electronics is a locally owned and operated business that delivered great service before, during, and even now almost a year later.

We have been producing more electricity than we can use since May and banking the credit with the power company. We don’t anticipate having to pay another electric bill. I highly recommend solar power and using Bristol Electronics to install and service it.

Joan Kline, 85, Middlebury MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Joan  S.  Kline  died  peacefully  in  her  home  on  Friday,  Aug.  7,  2015,  surrounded  by  her  loved  ones.  She  was  born  in  Greenville,  PA,  on  Sept.  20,  1929,  and  graduated  from  Thiel  College  in  Greenville,  where  her  mother  and  siblings  also  graduated  and  her  father  was  a  highly  successful  foot-­ ball  coach  and  Dean  of  Men  for  35  years.  As  a  young  single  woman,  she  went  to  New  York  City,  and  later  to  Washington,  D.C.,  where  she  was  a  legal  secretary.    She  married  Roger  Kline,  a  naval  architect,  in  1958.  Pursuing  his  career,  the  Klines  lived  in  the  Pittsburgh  area,  Sturgeon  Bay,  Wis.,  Mill  Valley,  Calif.,  and  New  Berlin,  Wis.  They  retired  to  Winona,  Minn.,  and  then  to  Middlebury,  Vt.   She  was  Rogerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  caregiver  in  his  last  years,  as  he  died  of  Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  disease  in  2008,  not  long  after  they  celebrated  50  years  of  a  very  happy  marriage.

A  stay-­at-­home  mother,  Joanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  pride  and  joy  were  her  three  children:  Susan  Longe,  proprietor,  Perennial  Passion  GardenScaping,  Vergennes,  Vt.;Íž   Phil  Kline,  General  Contractor,  San  Anselmo,  Calif.;Íž  and  Tim  Kline,  Software  Engineer,  Medtronic,  Denver,  Colo.

Joan  collected  friends  wher-­ ever  she  went,  and  was  known  as  a  good  listener,  always  interested  in  the  lives  of  those  she  knew.  She  quite  remarkably  kept  in  touch  over  decades,  including  among  her  friends  a  classmate  she  met  in  third  grade.  She  wrote  personal  notes  at Â

2015 Garden Game

We had a busy week with lots of new entries to the Garden Game! First was Pam Thomas who dropped by to show us a cucumber and a couple of summer squash. The cucumber was 16.5 inches long and 7 inches around. Her larger squash was 14.5 inches long and 19.25 inches around.

Pam told us that some kind of critter came by her garden in Whiting and they lost much of their squash crop.

discussed  ways  of  providing  school  supplies  under  a  different  model.  They  agreed  on  a  year-­round  pro-­ gram  through  which  grants  will  be  provided  to  local  schools  that  will  be  used  to  buy  school  supplies,  in-­ cluding  backpacks.  Each  individual  school  will  identify,  and  privately  contact,  eligible  families  with  the  offer  of  free  or  reduced-­price  sup-­ plies  that  their  children  need  for  the  academic  year.

CAN YOU BEAT THESE NEW ENTRIES?!

Donna Bezanson visited our offices twice last week. The first time she brought in some sweet corn that she grew in her garden in Weybridge. She was disappointed to hear we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a category for it, but we wanted to take a picture of them anyway. The longer one was 8 inches long. Donna stopped in later in the week with a cucumber, a beet, a zucchini and a funny squash. The zucchini was 20 inches long and 13.5 inches around. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite big enough to beat Pam Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; veggie. The squash was 15 inches long and 20 inches around and the cucumber was 12.5 inches long and 8.5 inches around.

Debbie Manning and Teddy stopped by our office and were excited to show us a huge zucchini they grew in their garden in Bridport. Debbie said they went on vacation and were surprised by the large veggie when they came home. It was an impressive 25 inches long and 16.5 inches around. She said they planned to make lots of yummy baked goods.

Elisa and Anike Heppell came in last week to show us a big zucchini and a huge cabbage that they call â&#x20AC;&#x153;scary thing.â&#x20AC;? The girls were given starter plants from their school in Ripton and brought them home to plant for the summer. The cabbage was an impressive 43.5 inches around and might be the biggest one weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen! The zucchini was 17 inches long and 15 inches around.

Stan Bigelow came by last week to give us some competition for the Garden Game. He brought us his prize winning zucchini from Addison County Fair and Field Days. Stan said it received a perfect score from their judges. It was 18 inches around and 30 inches long. Its our biggest one yet. He also brought in a big beet and onion from his garden in New Haven. The beet was 14.5 inches around and the onion was 14 inches around. He takes three frontrunner spots this week.

e h t W f o e e t k e P Hi, my name is Bo!

KIERA 4  yrs,  SF,  Lionhead  Lop.   Kiera  is  an  adorable  beauty  of  a  bunny  who  has  lived  with  cats  and  dogs  before  and  is  fairly  easy-­going.   Her  gorgeous  mane  will  require  combing  and  TLC  but  that  will  just  give  you  all  the  more  time  to  spend  with  this  pretty  girl! Â

TAILS 1  yr,  Black/White  Neutered  Male,  Domestic  Short  Hair.   Tails  is  a  lively  young  cat  who  gets  along  well  with  other  cats  and  is  generally  laid  back.    He  is  elegant  to  look  at  and  his  long  slinky  tail  is  matched  by  his  lightning  stripe! Â

BEAUTY  1  year,  Brown  Tiger  Neutered  Male.   Beautyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  name  proves  that  cats  can  be  gender-­ mysterious  in  addition  to  all  the  other  ways  they  mystify  us!   He  came  in  with  his  friend  Tails  and  is  also  accustomed  to  living  with  other  cats  and  plays  nicely  in  the  litterbox!   Â

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 12 years old.

JADIN 3  yrs,  Black/White  Spayed  Female.   Jadin  is  a  delicate  cat  who  was  brought  to  Homeward  Bound  when  her  family  could  no  longer  care  for  her.   She  is  a  snuggle  bug  but  prefers  to  save  her  affection  for  the  humans  of  the  house  and  is  not  as  partial  to  other  felines!  Â

WINNIE 9  yrs,  Grey/White  DSH,  Spayed  Female.  Winnie  was  adopted  from  Homeward  Bound  and  then  returned  when  her  living  circumstances  changed.   She  will  do  best  as  an  only  cat  in  a  quiet  home.  Â

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a beagle, so of course I like to follow my nose, which has gotten me into trouble a time or two, because it brings me far and away from my home, but my family always comes and gets me, they love me.

North  Americans  love  their  pets.  Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  willing  to  dress  them  up  in  fancy  clothes,  spend  money  for  elab-­ orate  spa  grooming  packages  and  even  take  them  along  on  vacations.  Recognizing  that  pets  are  important  members  of  many  households,  some  companies  are  providing  for  animal  day  care,  while  others  have  an  open-­ door  policy  when  it  comes  to  bring-­ ing  pets  to  work.

One  might  think  that  opening  the  workplace  to  pets  would  create  a  veritable  zoo  with  a  cacophony  of  meows  and  barks.  But  companies  like  California-­based  Autodesk  say  that  this  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  the  case.  Many  pets  are  very  well  behaved,  prefer-­ ULQJ WR VQRR]H XQGHU GHVNV RU Ă&#x20AC; LUW with  passersby.  The  company  has  loose  rules  in  place,  including  barring  overzealous  barkers.  And  if  an  animal  has  too  many  accidents  indoors,  he  or  she  has  to  leave.

RUNNERS CRUISE PAST the Vergennes Opera House during the Little City 5K and 10K races in 2012. The races kick off the annual Vergennes Day celebration again this Saturday.

5K and 10K races are a city tradition VERGENNES — The annual Little City Races in Vergennes will take place on Saturday, Aug. 29, during the 34th annual Vergennes Day celebration.

Registration starts at 8 a.m. at the Stevens House, adjacent to the Vergennes city green. Races start at 9 a.m.

A 5K (3.1-­mile) run and walk takes participants through the city streets and finishes at the green. A 10K (6.2-­mile) run — with a tough hill climb at the 3-­mile mark — will challenge

more serious runners. Organizers assure 10K runners that the view on the return to Vergennes is “beyond spectacular” and well worth the hill climb. To register online (through Wednesday) go to www.runvermont.org/littlecity.

To see maps of both courses read this story online at addisoninde-­ pendent.com.

There will be awards and raffle prizes at the conclusion of the race for all three events. Due to the large expected turnout this year, online registration is recommended. The

Special  passageways  for  getting  across  the  road  are  especially  impor-­ tant  to  slow-­moving  creatures  like  salamanders,  frogs,  newts,  snakes  and  turtles,  said  Vermont  amphibian  expert  Jim  Andrews.  He  noted  that  we  tend  to  be  aware  of  roadkill  when  the  species  are  large,  like  moose  and  deer,  and  pose  a  danger  to  drivers,  but  that  these  dramatic  collisions  hurt  in-­ dividual  animals  but  not  the  species.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;As  you  get  smaller  and  slower,  roads  have  impacts  on  populations,â&#x20AC;?  Andrews  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;So  when  you  start  talking  about  turtles,  snakes,  frog,  salamanders  the  data  show  that  you  FDQ ZLSH RXW ² DQG ZH KDYH ZLSHG RXW ² HQWLUH SRSXODWLRQV ´ 7KH QHZ WXQQHOV ZRQÂśW EH WKH ÂżUVW wildlife  crossing  structures  in  Ver-­ mont,  which  has  a  handful  of  over-­ passes,  culverts,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;shelves,â&#x20AC;?  tunnels  and  so  forth,  in  locations  on  Route  9  along  the  Bennington  Bypass,  and  HOVHZKHUH 9HUPRQWÂśV ÂżUVW ZLOGOLIH

crossing  was  built  along  Route  289  near  Essex  in  1993.  But  the  Monkton  project  is  unique  in  being  purpose  built,  from  a  grassroots  effort,  and  not  being  built  as  part  of  a  larger  ongo-­ ing  transportation  project,  according  to  Chris  Slesar,  chair  of  the  Monkton  Conservation  Commission  and  an  en-­ vironmental  specialist  for  VTrans.

Slesar  and  Andrews  have  stud-­ ied  wildlife  crossing  designs  from  around  the  country  and  believe  that  the  U-­shaped  Monkton  tunnel  will  incorporate  some  of  the  best  fea-­ tures  and  advances  in  current  wildlife  crossing  design.

On  either  side  of  the  tunnel,  two  100-­foot-­long  â&#x20AC;&#x153;wingâ&#x20AC;?  walls  will  fun-­ nel  the  amphibians  into  the  tunnel.  The  tunnel  will  be  anywhere  from  2  to  4  feet  tall,  depending  on  where  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  located  in  the  natural  slope  from  the  higher  Hogback  side  of  the  Vergennes-­ Monkton  Road  to  the  steep  drop  down  to  Huizenga  Swamp  on  the  northern/ northwestern  side.  Though  built  for  amphibians,  the  tunnels  will  also  ac-­ commodate  small  mammals  such  as  bobcat,  mink  and  weasel.  Once  construction  is  completed,  volunteers  will  bring  in  rocks  to  place  along  the  natural  bottom  so  that  crossing  amphibians  can  hide  from  predators.  Otherwise,  noted  Lewis  Creek  Association  Board  President  Andrea  Morgante,  it  would  be  like  â&#x20AC;&#x153;a  salad  barâ&#x20AC;?  for  critters  that  like  to  eat  frogs  and  friends.

Fish  and  Wildlife,  put  their  combined  expertise  together  in  service  of  one  of  their  favorite  species  and  favorite  backyard  spots.  Their  starting  point  was  the  Monkton  Conservation  Com-­ mission,  where  both  served  and  today  still  serve.  They  started  a  growing  co-­ alition  that  won  $195,000  in  grants  from  federal  and  state  governments,  EURXJKW LQ D KRVW RI RWKHU QRQSUR¿W partners  such  as  the  Defenders  of  Wildlife  and  the  TransWild  Alliance,  won  the  support  of  the  Monkton  se-­ lectboard,  educated  and  reached  out  to  friends  and  neighbors,  brought  the  project  attention  from  support-­ ers  worldwide,  and  together  with  the  help  of  the  Lewis  Creek  Alliance  raised  $130,000  in  individual  dona-­ tions  to  achieve  the  needed  $325,000  for  total  project  costs.

Among  the  support  was  $150,000  from  competitive  federal  grants  ear-­ marked  for  ecological  enhancements  to  roads  of  all  sizes.  Typically  these  federal  dollars  go  to  bike  path  proj-­ ects.  The  Monkton  project  was  the  ¿UVW LQ WKH 1RUWKHDVW IRU ZKLFK WKLV category  of  federal  grant  went  to  a  wildlife  crossing.

Perhaps  most  impressively,  the  $130,000  in  individual  donations  came  from  hundreds  of  Vermont-­ ers  and  ranged  anywhere  from  $5  to  $15,000.  A  few  donations  even  came  from  as  far  away  as  England  and  Japan,  and  fundraising  approaches  included  an  Indiegogo  online  crowd-­ funding  campaign.  As  donations  came  in,  money  was  used  toward  preliminary  engineering  and  consul-­ tancy.  The  rest  was  recently  delivered  to  the  Monkton  selectboard,  which  is  supervising  the  engineering  and  con-­ struction  work  on  the  tunnels.  On  Aug.  10,  the  Lewis  Creek  As-­ sociation,  which  has  acted  as  the  501(c)3  body  for  the  coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fun-­ draising  efforts,  handed  the  Monkton  selectboard  a  $119,000  check.  So  now,  10  years  after  all  these  efforts  began,  hardhats  are  on  and  construction  is  under  way.  Starting  Monday,  Aug.  24,  motorists  on  the  Vergennes-­Monkton  Road  should  ex-­ pect  delays.

MAKING  IT  MAINSTREAM At  the  construction  site  this  past  Thursday  afternoon,  as  they  eyeballed  where  the  funneling  wing  walls  might  go  with  construction  supervisors  from  S.D.  Ireland  and  engineers  from  Lamoureux  and  Dickinson,  Andrews,  Slesar  and  Monkton  selectboard  Chair  Steve  Pilcher  joked  that  they  were  entering  â&#x20AC;&#x153;an  alternate  reality,â&#x20AC;?  given  what  a  long  road  it  had  taken  to  make  the  wildlife  crossing  a  reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  working  on  this  for  \HDUV DQG ZKHQ ZH ÂżUVW VWDUWHG it  seemed  really  fringy.  People  were  like  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh  my  God,  what  are  they  do-­ ing!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Slesar  recalled.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  through  solid  science  and  engineering,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  demonstrated  that  actually  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  fringy.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  important  issue.  There  are  solutions.  And  over  time  people  have  grown  to  understand  that  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  more  mainstream  than  they  think.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For  me,â&#x20AC;?  Slesar  continued,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  goal  would  be  to  have  more  transpor-­ tation  projects  and  more  grassroots  organizations  and  more  watershed  organizations  identify  opportunities  to  reconnect  habitat.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  like  to  see  it  become  mainstream  and  become  a  routine  part  of  transportation.â&#x20AC;?

Rev.  Stephanie  Allen  to  lead  annual  Reichert  talk RIPTON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Rev.  Stephanie  Allen  will  deliver  the  annual  Rabbi  Victor  E.  Reichert  Bible  Talk  at  the  Ripton  Community  Church  at  4  p.m.  on  Sunday,  Aug.  30.  Allen  holds  a  BA  in  English  with  a  special  focus  on  African  American  literature  and  religion  from  the  University  of  New  Hampshire.  She  earned  a  masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  of  divinity  from  Ashland  Theological  Seminary  and  a  doctorate  in  Biblical  Hebrew  from  the  same  institution.  She  has  taught  biblical  Hebrew.

Allen  is  currently  pastor  of  Mid-­ dleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Memorial  Baptist  Church.  She  and  her  husband  ran  a  church-­ based  farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  market  for  four  years  in  Cleveland  and,  with  her  ¿YH FKLOGUHQ FXUUHQWO\ IDUP D VPDOO homestead  in  the  area  â&#x20AC;&#x153;in  their  spare  time.â&#x20AC;?   In  keeping  with  the  rabbiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  tradi-­ tion,  Allen  has  titled  her  presentation  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  Holistic  View  of  Food  and  Faith  Utilizing  Scripture,â&#x20AC;?  challenging  her  listeners  to  discern  what  scripture  or  text  that  might  actually  be.   ³:H DUH KHDYLO\ LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFHG E\ the  separation  of  our  bodies  from  our  soul  in  our  world.  Though  we  are  making  many  strides  in  aware-­ ness  of  ecology  and  stewardship  of Â

creation,  we  at  times  neglect  Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  creation  in  human  beings  through  caring  for  our  bodies  in  food  choic-­ es.  How  can  we  be  mindful  of  the  KHDOLQJ EHQHÂżWV RI IRRG LQ D FXOWXUH inundated  with  processed  food?  Is  God  concerned  with  what  we  eat?  Is  there  a  biblical  connection  and  re-­ sponsibility  we  have  to  aid  people  in  accessing  healthy  foods?â&#x20AC;?

The  annual  Reichert  Bible  Talk  is  a  tradition  that  reaches  back  to  the  years  just  after  World  War  II,  when  poet  Robert  Frost  invited  Rabbi  Reichert  to  visit  him  at  the  Bread  Loaf  Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Conference  in  Ripton.  Frost  had  met  Reichert  while  giv-­ ing  a  reading  in  Cincinnati,  where  Reichert  was  rabbi  of  the  Rockdale  Temple,  the  oldest  synagogue  west  of  the  Alleghenies,  from  1924  to  1964.  Their  friendship  deepened,  and  Rabbi  Reichert  and  his  wife,  Louise,  eventually  bought  an  old  one-­room  schoolhouse  near  Bread  Loaf  as  a  summer  cottage.  For  many  summers,  the  Reicherts  attended  the  nearby  Ripton  Meth-­ odist  Church,  and  Rabbi  Reichert  would  give  a  talk  in  the  late  summer  on  one  of  the  books  of  the  Jewish  Bible,  of  those  scriptures  common Â
