dents.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  had  a  band  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  high  school  band,  a  junior  high  band,  a  jazz  band   â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  worked  with  them  to  really  grow  their  abilities  and  their  skill  levels,  and  that  was  great,â&#x20AC;?  said  Ford.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  the  more  I  taught,  the  more  I  saw  in  developing  rela-­ tionships  with  my  students  all  of  the  things  that  they  brought  in  with  them:  all  of  the  experiences  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  coming  in  with,  the  things  that  both-­ er  them,  the  things  that  are  holding  them  back,  the  things  that  they  just  want  to  talk  about  with  somebody.  My  classroom  was  full  whether  I  was  in  a  teaching  period  or  not.  Kids  would  come  down  and  hang  out  and  talk.  And  they  felt  comfortable  to  do  that.  That  interested  me.  It  really  did  interest  me  a  lot.â&#x20AC;?

That  interest  spurred  Ford  into  graduate  study  in  educational  psy-­ chology  and  in  educational  leader-­ ship.  He  holds  a  masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  degree  in  Educational  Psychology  and  a  Cer-­ WLÂżFDWH RI $GYDQFHG *UDGXDWH 6WXG-­ ies  in  Educational  Administration,  both  from  the  College  of  Saint  Rose  in  Albany,  N.Y.

A D D IS ON Â Â INDE P E NDEN T

Guest  editorial If  each  of  us  do  our  part,  Popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Day  of  Creationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  can  help  change  the  world  By  Deb  Markowtiz,  Sec.  Vermont  Agency  of  Natural  Resources  Last  week  I  had  an  opportunity  to  spend  some  time  with  an  older  gentle-­ man  who  has  lived  in  the  hills  of  Vermont  his  whole  life.  As  he  showed  me  his  land,  he  shared  his  belief  that  more  Vermonters  are  environmental  stew-­ ards  than  folks  in  other  states  because  we  are  connected  to  the  land.  He  went  on  to  suppose  that  the  churches  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  as  full  in  Vermont  as  some  of  those  other  places  because  so  many  Vermonters  experience  their  own  spirituality  in  the  out-­of-­doors.

Perhaps  he  is  right.  When  I  am  surrounded  by  the  abundant  life  and  beau-­ ty  of  the  natural  world,  it  feeds  my  spirit,  and  I  often  see  how  Vermontersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  SHUVRQDO WLHV WR RXU ODNHV PRXQWDLQV ÂżHOGV DQG IRUHVWV OHDG WKHP WR ÂżJKW WR protect  the  land  and  water.  It  is  as  though  we  ascribe  to  the  Native  American  proverb:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  do  not  inherit  the  earth  from  our  ancestors,  we  borrow  it  from  our  children.â&#x20AC;?

It  has  long  been  debated  by  theologians  whether  there  is  a  moral  obliga-­ tion  to  be  stewards  of  the  earth.  For  that  reason,  it  is  no  small  thing  when  a  world  religious  leader  calls  upon  the  faithful  to  be  dedicated  to  environmen-­ tal  action.  That  is  what  Pope  Francis  did  when  he  declared  Sept.  1  a  day  for  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Care  of  Creation.â&#x20AC;?

This  follows  his  encyclical  on  climate  change,  in  which  he  called  for  a  new  partnership  between  science  and  religion  to  combat  human  caused  cli-­ PDWH FKDQJH DQG OLVWHG VSHFLÂżF DFWLRQV ZH VKRXOG DOO EH WDNLQJ WR OLPLW RXU consumption  of  the  worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  resources  and  to  protect  the  planet  for  future  generations.  With  1.2  billion  Catholics  worldwide,  this  call  for  an  â&#x20AC;&#x153;eco-­ logical  conversionâ&#x20AC;?  of  the  faithful  can  be  a  powerful  catalyst  for  meaningful  social  change.

The  Pope  is  not  the  only  religious  leader  to  address  the  moral  imperative  to  change  the  way  we  live  so  that  the  earth  can  continue  to  nourish  and  pro-­ vide  a  good  life  to  all  beings,  present  and  future.  The  Dalai  Lama,  the  leader  of  Tibetan  Buddhists,  and  a  spiritual  teacher  known  worldwide  has  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among  the  thousands  of  species  of  mammals  on  earth,  we  humans  have  the  greatest  capacity  to  alter  nature.  [It  is  our]  responsibility  to  undo  the  serious  environmental  degradation  that  is  the  result  of  incorrect  human  be-­ havior  â&#x20AC;Ś  Humanity  must  take  the  initiative  to  repair  and  protect  the  world.â&#x20AC;?

Here,  in  Vermont  we  have  an  active  faith  community  including  Chris-­ tians,  Muslims,  Jews,  Buddhists,  Hindus  and  many  others  who  experience  spirituality  outside  of  churches  and  temples.  Across  all  these  faiths,  we  have  long  known  that  our  lives  and  livelihoods  are  so  intertwined  with  nature  that  we  cannot  separate  ourselves  from  it.  This  knowledge  comes  with  an  imperative  to  act.

As  a  Jew,  I  am  reminded  every  year  of  our  obligation  to  take  care  of  the  planet.  Rosh  Hashanah  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  one  of  the  Jewish  religionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  High  Holidays  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  A  DISTANT  COW  appears  to  hover  over  the  ear  of  a  Holstein  standing  behind  a  barbed  wire  fence  in  celebrates  the  anniversary  of  creation.  This  is  a  time  for  Jewish  people  to  Weybridge  last  Thursday  morning.

VGS  and  its  proponents  want  to  extend  the  pipeline  from  Middlebury  to  Rutland  with  an  estimated  price  tag  of  a  further  $120  million  (which  probably  will  double  based  on  their  track  record).  When  added  to  the  $164  million  Phase  I,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  over  a  quarter  billion  dollars  that  would  be  removed  from  the  Vermont  economy,  paid  for  with  the  hard-­earned  cash  of  ratepayers.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hard  to  comprehend  the  cost  effectiveness  of  such  a  pricey  project.

If  these  towns  still  want  gas,  then  all  parties  need  to  go  back  to  the  drawing  board  and  if  necessary,  revisit  PSB  docket  7712,  the  original,  VLPSOHU DQG FKHDSHU SODQ ¿YH \HDUV ago.  This  plan  proposed  running  a  13-­mile  plastic  distribution  pipe  from  Shelburne  to  Vergennes  and  then  on  to  Middlebury.  Sad  to  say  if  more  attention  had  been  paid  to  this  simpler  plan  these  towns  probably  would  have  had  gas  by  now.

2015 Garden Game

It was another busy week of Garden Game entries at our office last week.

-AGGIE .OCCA stopped by with several large tomatoes from her garden in Bridport. The largest of Maggieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tomatoes was 18.5 inches around! We had a lot of large tomato entries, but this one takes over as the frontrunner in the category.

'ARY -ILLER came by with a big tomato to show us and then came back later in the week to show us an impressive carrot.

Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tomato was 15 inches around. The carrot he brought in was big enough to beat his last frontrunner. He said he went out to his garden in Middlebury and saw that it was starting to go on him, so he decided he better pick it. It was an impressive 16.25 inches long and 11.5 inches around.

We had another huge tomato come in to our office last week with !LEX 7ALK ER. He grew the giant red fruit in his garden in Shoreham. It was very large at 17 inches around, but not quite enough to take over the lead.

+AYDEN "ROWN stopped in to show us a big zucchini he grew in his garden in Bridport. The massive veggie was 14.5 inches around and 16.5 inches long. It was a beautiful specimen, but not big enough to take over the lead.

We had a return visit from 0AM 4HOMAS with a giant sunflower she grew in her garden in Whiting. The flower was an impressive 27 inches wide. Pam will take the front spot for the sunflower category since its our first one of the summer! She says she can thank good gardening and rabbit manure for her success.

Sunderland  received  a  call  this  past  spring  from  the  sister  of  one  of  the  four  U.S.  soldiers  killed  in  a  helicop-­ ter  crash  while  delivering  aid  in  Ne-­ pal  following  the  devastating  earth-­ quake  that  hit  that  nation  on  April  25.  The  woman  ordered  a  star-­spangled  baby  wrap  to  wear  during  the  repa-­ triation  of  her  brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  remains,  ac-­ cording  to  Scheu.

Meanwhile,  Stonecutter  Spirits  has  now  received  a  combined  to-­ tal  of  $200,000  in  loans  through  the  ACEDC.  The  most  recent  $100,000  will  be  used  for  start-­up  costs  and  the Â

CAN YOU BEAT THESE NEW ENTRIES?!

We had a visit from one of our favorite returning Garden Game players. !LLEN ,A&OUNTAIN has been playing our game for many years and is still impressing us with his skills at 92 years old. Allen brought in our first potato entry of the summer which measured 6.5 inches long and 10.5 inches around. He also brought in a summer squash that was 17 inches long and 15.5 inches around. Allen says that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a tough run this year and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not pleased with his garden. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still pretty amazed with what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen so far! +ATHLEEN (UBBARD came by last week to show us a long eggplant and a green pepper that she grew in Middlebury. Kathleen says she got her starters for the peppers at the P. Hannaford Career Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FFA plant sale in the Spring. The pepper was the first one weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this summer and was 8 inches by 9 inches. The eggplant was 33 inches around by 6.75 inches around. It takes over as the leader for the category.

-ARY -C'UIRE and her grandson 2YDER stopped in last week to enter our game. They brought in a zucchini that they suspected wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the largest, but wanted to come by anyway. It was 14 inches long and was the biggest in their garden in New Haven. Ryder also brought along two hermit crabs for the ride.

3TAN "IGELOW came back in last week to see if his tomato could be the biggest weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen. He wanted to take over the frontrunner spot, but unfortunately its now held by an 18.5 inch beast. His was just shy of that at 16.5 inches around. Stan said his garden are all organic with no chemical fertilizers. He says all the rain and plenty of sun have made for a great gardening season.

'ARY -ILLER snuck back in to the office just in time to make our press deadline to have his green pepper entered in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of frontrunners.

combined  with  tile  drainage,  has  apparently  led  to  blue-­green  algae  blooms.  Other  researchers  have  rec-­ ommended  light  tillage  above  tile  in  clay  soils,  because  they  found  clay  soils  form  macropores,  or  funnels,  that  transport  water  directly  from  the  surface  to  the  tile.

Currently,  the  state  and  the  Natu-­ ral  Resources  Conservation  Service  (NRCS)  are  encouraging  farmers  to  adopt  no-­till  practices,  which  help  to  build  organic  matter  in  the  soil,  reduce  the  loss  of  carbon  and  sup-­ port  healthy  communities  of  living  organisms  in  the  soil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No  till  may  not  be  the  answer  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  looking  for,â&#x20AC;?  said  Ross.

Once  the  amount  of  phosphorous  arriving  in  St.  Albans  Bay  has  been  reduced,  the  TMDL  calls  for  an  evaluation  of  whether  or  not  phos-­ phorous  in  the  sediments  should  be  treated.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  one  of  the  options  to  pursue  in  the  future,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

ACCOUNTABILITY  Asked  by  Alburgh  farmer  Darlene  Reynolds  if  there  will  be  adjust-­ ments  in  phosphorous  targets  going  forward,  Perkins  said  the  models  used  to  create  the  TMDL  will  be  available  to  the  state.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  done  and  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  never  going  to  go  back  there,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

The  state  will  be  presenting  its  phase-­one  implementation  plan  RQFH WKH 70'/ LV ÂżQDOL]HG E\ WKH EPA.  The  agency  is  currently  seek-­ ing  public  comment  on  the  TMDL  DQG ZLOO ÂżQDOL]H LW LQ 2FWREHU Phase  one  includes  the  implemen-­ tation  of  a  wide  range  of  new  regu-­ latory  requirements  including  such  measures  as  a  general  stormwater  permit  for  the  Agency  of  Transporta-­ tion,  new  required  agriculture  prac-­ tices  for  all  farms,  a  municipal  roads  stormwater  permit,  and  adoption  of  QHZ VWDQGDUGV WR SURWHFW Ă&#x20AC;RRG SODLQV

and  reduce  in-­stream  erosion.

EPA  will  issue  an  interim  report  FDUG LQ DQG D ¿QDO UHSRUW FDUG in  2017  on  how  well  Vermont  has  implemented  phase  one.

Phase  one  also  includes  additional  measures  for  St.  Albans  and  Missis-­ quoi  bays,  including  requiring  adop-­ tion  of  best  management  practices  to  reduce  runoff  on  farms  where  the  VWDWH ¿QGV WKH\ DUH QHHGHG Additional  steps  will  be  taken  to  address  erosion  from  forested  lands  in  Missisquoi  Bay  and  the  south  lake.

Phase  two  uses  the  tactical  basin  plans  the  state  already  has  to  devel-­ RS ÂżYH \HDU SODQV IRU /DNH &KDP-­ plainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sub-­basins,  starting  with  an  update  to  the  Missisquoi  basin  plan.  EPA  will  then  issue  reports  every  2.5  years  on  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  success  in  implementing  those  tactical  plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Between  EPA  and  the  state,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  be  tracking  activities,â&#x20AC;?  said  Perkins  when  asked  about  the  em-­ phasis  in  the  accountability  frame-­ work  on  process  rather  than  the  out-­ come  of  reducing  phosphorous.

For  some  of  those  projects  the  state  will  be  able  to  calculate  how  much  phosphorous  will  not  be  en-­ tering  the  lake  as  a  result,  he  said.  Those  numbers  will  be  public.

In  addition,  the  results  of  ongoing  monitoring  will  be  made  public.

With  the  tactical  basin  plans,  the  state  â&#x20AC;&#x153;will  know  exactly  what  they  put  on  the  land  where,â&#x20AC;?  said  Perkins.
