By  ANDY  KIRKALDY VERGENNES  —  Vergennes  al-­ dermen  this  past  Tuesday  settled  on  a  $1.85  million  bond  amount  to  re-­ quest  from  voters  on  Town  Meeting  Day  to  fund  construction  of  a  new  North  Main  Street  police  station.

That  amount  includes  $229,000  to  buy  the  0.75-­acre  former  Ver-­ gennes  Auto  Sales  parcel  (a  lot  that  is  assessed  by  the  city  at  $117,800),  $21,000  to  buy  more  land  to  the  rear Â

and  side  of  the  parcel,  site  work,  construction  costs  for  a  roughly  6,000-­square-­foot  building,  and  a  $50,000  contingency  fund.

Who’s  helped?  Who’s  harmed?

What  seemed  striking  in  the  “death  with  dignity�  debate  in  Montpelier  this  past  week  were  the  nuances  in  tone  from  each  side:  compassion  to  ease  the  suffering  of  loved  ones  was  the  predominant  message  and  feeling  of  those  who  supported  the  legislation;͞  a  more  strident  argument  against  the  moral  affront  the  bill  poses  dominated  the  testimony  of  those  opposed.

Vermonters  rightfully  perplexed  by  complex  feelings  about  this  issue  PLJKW UHÀHFW RQ WKRVH FRXQWHULQJ DUJXPHQWV WR GUDZ WKHLU RZQ FRQFOXVLRQV Those  who  view  the  legislation  as  an  act  of  compassion  most  often  relay  actual  circumstances  when  a  patient  is  in  the  last  stages  of  death.  Immense  pain  is  often  a  factor,  requiring  heavy  doses  of  morphine  or  other  drugs  that  NHHS WKH SDWLHQW LQ D GUXJ LQGXFHG VWDWH IRU PXFK RI WKRVH ¿QDO ZHHNV :LWK fast-­spreading  cancers  or  other  terminal  illnesses  for  which  doctors  see  no  cure,  the  patients  and  their  families  argue  that  they  should  have  a  choice  in  GHWHUPLQLQJ KRZ WR OLYH WKRVH ¿QDO GD\V LQ D ZD\ WKH\ GHHP GLJQL¿HG It  is  not  a  request  that  denies  any  rights  to  others.  The  proposed  legislation  RIIHUV D FKRLFH IRU D GLJQL¿HG GHDWK WR WKRVH ZKR ZDQW LW LW GRHV QRW PDQGDWH any  prescribed  process  for  those  who  don’t.  Opponents  of  the  measure,  on  the  other  hand,  are  denying  individuals  who  DUH IDFLQJ LPPLQHQW GHDWK WKH ULJKW WR FKRRVH KRZ WR OLYH RXW WKHLU ¿QDO GD\V Like  many  who  oppose  extending  individual  rights  to  others,  their  position  is  that  such  laws  would  create  a  slippery  slope  of  legislation  gone  awry,  opening  up  the  possibility  for  abuse  and  —  at  the  height  of  their  paranoia  —  for  the  state  government  to  assume  control  of  such  decisions  and  dictate  that  choice  for  all.  It  is  an  argument  based  on  unfounded  fears.

There  have,  however,  been  valid  questions  and  good  responses.  How  can  we  be  sure  that  a  prognosis  is  terminal?  How  can  the  law  assure  family  members  are  not  putting  pressure  on  a  patient  to  choose  death  over  life  for  ¿QDQFLDO UHDVRQV" +RZ FDQ ZH EH VXUH WKH SDWLHQW LV RI VRXQG PLQG ZKHQ that  decision  is  made?  During  the  past  decade,  the  legislation  has  added  measures  to  prevent  abuses,  including:  patients  would  have  to  be  diagnosed  by  two  physicians  as  being  terminally  ill  with  a  prognosis  of  death  within  six  months;͞  patients  with  depression  or  other  mental  disorders  would  not  be  eligible;͞  all  patients  opting  for  assistance  from  a  doctor  to  help  end  their  lives  would  have  to  be  enrolled  in  palliative  care  or  undergo  a  palliative  care  consultation.  7KHUH LV DOVR PDQGDWHG WLPH IRU UHÀHFWLRQ $IWHU D SDWLHQW UHTXHVWV WR HQG his  life  or  her  life,  the  physician  would  have  to  wait  at  least  15  days  and  then  JHW D UHDI¿UPDWLRQ RI WKH SDWLHQWœV ZLVK WR GLH DQG WKHQ RIIHU WKH SDWLHQW D chance  to  rescind  the  request.  To  avoid  family  pressures,  the  request  by  the  patient  has  to  be  signed  by  two  witnesses  who  are  not  relatives  of  the  patient  or  another  acting  physician.  Nor  does  the  proposed  legislation  require  doctors  to  participate.  Any  doctor  may  choose  to  opt  out  of  having  to  make  the  diagnoses.

In  his  testimony  in  front  of  the  Senate  Health  Care  and  Judiciary  Committees  this  past  week,  Attorney  General  Bill  Sorrell  said  the  legislation  has  been  tweaked  over  the  years  to  protect  providers,  the  patient  and  the  families  and  sets  a  solid  foundation  for  patients  to  make  informed  choices.  “I  think  the  right  to  make  an  informed  decision  about  the  end  of  your  life  when  you  are  terminally  ill  and  you  have  all  of  your  faculties  about  you,  the  A  COATING  OF  wet  snow  breaks  apart  and  slides  down  the  face  of  the  Ferrisburgh  solar  array  along  option  to  be  able  to  make  that  choice,�  Sorrell  said,  “is  a  simple  one  —  I  Route  7  Tuesday  morning. think  it’s  a  personal  right.�

Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell That  doesn’t  mean  that  others  who  hold  differing  views  are  wrong  in  their  beliefs;͞  just  that  those  beliefs  should  not  infringe  on  the  beliefs  of  others.  It  also  poses  this  fundamental  question  to  senators  who  are  expected  to  face  a  vote  within  the  next  three  weeks:  What  is  gained  by  denying  this  choice?  With  their  vote,  who  has  been  helped  and  who  has  been  harmed?

Middlebury Community Players to present â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Play on!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Feb. 14-17 MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Anyone  who  has  ever  been  involved  in  community  theater  will  identify  strongly  with  the  maxim  â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  anything  can  go  wrong  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  it  will.â&#x20AC;?  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  exactly  what  happens  in  the  comedy  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Play  On!â&#x20AC;?  which  will  be  presented  by  the  Middlebury  Com-­ munity  Players  at  Town  Hall  Theater  on  Feb.  14-­17.

Dora  Greven  directs  this  uproari-­ ous  play  within  a  play.  A  theater  group  is  trying  desperately  to  put  on  a  play  in  spite  of  maddening  interfer-­ ence  from  the  haughty  authoress  who  keeps  revising  the  script.  Act  I  is  a  rehearsal  of  the  dreadful  show,  Act  II  is  the  near  disastrous  dress  rehearsal,  DQG WKH ¿QDO DFW LV WKH DFWXDO SHUIRU-­ mance  in  which  anything  that  can  go  wrong  does.

When  the  authoress  decides  to  give  a  speech  on  the  state  of  the  modern Â

theater  during  the  curtain  calls,  the  audience  is  treated  to  a  madcap  cli-­ max  of  the  thoroughly  hilarious  romp.  Even  the  sound  effects  reap  their  share  of  laughter.

Included  in  the  cast  are  Kevin  Com-­ mins,  Kendra  Gratton,  Raymond  Johnston,  Megan  Kelley,  Ark  Lemal,  Mike  Lynch,  Tom  Noble,  Robynn  Stanley,  Kathleen  Walls  and  Matt  White.

Shows  are  Thursday-­Saturday,  Feb.  14-­16,  at  8  p.m.,  with  a  Sunday  mati-­ nee  on  Feb.  17  at  2  p.m.  The  Sunday  matinee  will  have  American  Sign  Lan-­ guage  interpretation.  Tickets  are  $17,  available  at  the  Town  Hall  Theater  %R[ 2I¿FH 0RQGD\ 6DWXUGD\ QRRQ to  5  p.m.,  802-­382-­9222,  or  online  anytime  at  www.townhalltheater.org For  more  information  visit  www. middleburycommunityplayers.org.

Perlee,  who  has  served  on  the Â

The  system  allows  troopers  to  sub-­ mit  reports  to  a  database  that  then  pres-­ ents  information  on  burglaries,  thefts,  WUDI¿F DFFLGHQWV DQG RWKHU LQFLGHQWV on  a  map.  It  also  provides  reports  that  show,  for  instance,  what  times  of  day  and  what  days  of  the  week  burglaries  are  happening.  This  gives  Genova  and  other  VSP  managers  better  information  to  spot  trends  and  assign  coverage.  For  ex-­ ample,  Genova  said  that  when  they  could  see  that  there  were  a  cluster  of  reported  break-­ins  in  the  Orwell  area  last  fall,  he  assigned  troopers  to  carry  out  more  patrols  in  the  area,  which  re-­ sulted  in  a  decrease  in  such  crime  in  that  area.

Unfortunately,  he  acknowledged,  greater  enforcement  often  moves  the  crime  to  another  area,  and  the  past  month  has  seen  an  increase  in  burglar-­ ies  in  the  northern  half  of  the  county.  Nevertheless,  Genova  has  a  lot  of  hope  for  the  system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  helping  us  get  away  from  randomly  doing  enforcement  so  you  can  do  purpose-­driven  enforcement,â&#x20AC;?  Genova  said.  This  can  include  spotting  where  break-­ins  have  been  occurring,  theo-­ rizing  where  they  might  occur  next,  and  then  assigning  troopers  to  drive  YHU\ VSHFLÂżF URXWHV WKURXJK WKH VSH-­ FLÂżF WRZQV UDWKHU WKDQ MXVW KDYLQJ troopers  go  from  point  A  to  point  B  in Â

ZKDWHYHU ZD\ WKH\ VHH ÂżW â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  a  resident  sees  cruiser  after  cruis-­ er  going  down  their  road,  they  should  be  reassured,â&#x20AC;?  Genova  said.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  how  the  system  works.  Ev-­ ery  two  weeks  managers  at  the  bar-­ racks  look  at  the  trends,  develop  a  plan  to  counter  those  trends  and  then  deploy  the  troopers  to  carry  out  that  plan.  After  two  weeks,  they  look  at  the  results,  determine  what  has  changed  DQG DGMXVW WKH SODQ If  the  data  shows  that  a  problem  hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  cleared  up,  efforts  will  be  re-­ doubled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  staying  there  until  we  see  an  impact,â&#x20AC;?  Genova  said.  0DM :DOWHU *RRGHOO WKH )LHOG Force  Commander  for  the  VSP,  said  the  fact  that  the  system  overlays  crime  data  and  motor  vehicle  crashes  onto  a  map  of  Vermont  is  crucial.  ³7KH PDSSLQJ SLHFH LV D VLJQLÂżFDQW component,â&#x20AC;?  Goodell  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;From  a  law  enforcement  perspective  it  is  easier  to  process  information  from  a  map.â&#x20AC;?

Not  only  do  maps  allow  troopers  to  spot  new  trends,  but  they  also  verify  trends  troopers  may  have  suspected  but  could  marshal  the  data  to  prove,  Goodell  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  suspect  there  are  more  burglar-­ ies  in  this  area,  but  now  we  can  follow  up  and  show  it,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

As  its  name  implies,  DDACTS  also  addresses  a  second  important  role  of  WKH VWDWH SROLFH HQIRUFLQJ WUDI¿F VDIH-­ ty.

Police  recognize  that  a  huge  factor  in  vehicle  crashes  is  inclement  weath-­ er.  But  Genova  said  that  state  police  KRSH WR UHGXFH ZHDWKHU UHODWHG WUDIÂżF accidents  by  using  the  maps  generated Â

through  DDACTS  to  better  identify  VSHFLÂżF VSRWV ZKHUH WKHUH KDYH EHHQ D ORW RI DFFLGHQWV DQG WKHQ SXW RIÂżFHUV in  squad  cars  in  those  spots  in  the  hope  that  their  presence  will  change  driving  habitsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;  at  least  in  these  dangerous  stretches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What  we  can  do  is  put  out  troops  a  few  days  before  the  bad  weather  is  forecast  to  hit  and  get  people  to  slow  down,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

PUBLIC  REPORTS An  important  aspect  of  DDACTS  is  that  the  maps  showing  recent  crime,  ¿UHV DQG DFFLGHQWV DUH DYDLODEOH WR WKH public  online  at  www.crimereports. com.

Police  hope  that  allowing  the  public  to  see  exactly  how  many  crimes  have  been  reported  and  where  will  give  citi-­ zens  factual  information  and  a  realistic  perspective  on  the  level  of  crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crimereports.com  â&#x20AC;Ś  puts  to  rest  the  rumor  mill  for  things  so  that  there  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  over-­reporting,â&#x20AC;?  Genova  said.  Over  the  trial  period,  police  said  they  had  to  work  out  some  kinks  in Â

the  system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  were  making  sure  the  data  we  get  is  the  data  they  can  use,â&#x20AC;?  Goodell  said.

Goodell  said  VSP  leaders  under-­ stands  that  this  has  introduced  new  procedures  and,  to  some  extent,  a  new  ZD\ RI WKLQNLQJ DERXW WKHLU MREV â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  little  bit  of  a  change  in  the  culture  in  the  way  we  operate,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

Goodell  said  the  new  system  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  cost  anything  because  it  goes  through  the  crimereports.com  website,  al-­ though  the  VSP  did  have  to  do  a  little  bit  of  training  and  get  a  little  bit  of  help  from  the  Vermont  Information  and  Analysis  Center.

Genova  said  that  the  VSP  continues  to  cooperate  with  municipal  police  departments  and  the  sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  depart-­ ment,  as  well  as  with  civilian  repre-­ sentatives  from  as  many  of  the  area  towns  as  are  willing  to  take  part.  This  IT  system  is  yet  another  resource  to  help  all  of  the  constituencies  coordi-­ nate  their  activities

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  emphasize  enough  how  im-­ portant  it  is  to  work  with  other  depart-­ ments,â&#x20AC;?  Genova  said.  The  local  VSP  hosts  a  Community  Advisory  Board  meeting  at  the  New  Haven  barracks  once  every  three  months.  Genova  said  the  DDACTS  system  has  given  him  another  kind  of  information  to  share  with  community  members  who  come  to  these  meetings  and  it  enriches  the  discussion.  Every  town  in  the  New  Haven  barracksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  cov-­ erage  area  is  invited  to  send  represen-­ tatives  to  these  Community  Advisory  Board  meetings,  and  Genova  said  at-­ tendance  has  been  good.  More  than  20  people  came  to  last  monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gathering,  and  27  or  28  came  to  the  fall  meeting.

Goodell  was  very  positive  about  Genovaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  engagement  with  the  com-­ munity,  and  he  said  DDACTS  will  help  Genova,  and  other  commanders,  better  communicate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  allows  him  to  tell  people  why  he  is  doing  things  the  way  he  is  doing  them,â&#x20AC;?  Goodell  said.

A  nationally  recognized  scholar,  Byerly  is  one  of  the  nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  most  prominent  thought  leaders  on  the  role  of  technology  in  higher  educa-­ WLRQ WRGD\ 6KH ZLOO WDNH RIÂżFH RQ -XO\ DV WKH ÂżUVW ZRPDQ president  of  Lafayette,  which  was  founded  in  1826. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  am  delighted  that  Alison  Byerly  will  be  our  president  at  this  important  point  in  the  collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  his-­ tory,â&#x20AC;?  said  Edward  W.  Ahart,  chair  of  Lafayetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  board  of  trustees  and  a  1969  graduate  of  the  college,  in  making  the  announcement.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  vi-­ sionary  leader,  she  has  broad  expe-­ rience  and  a  deep  understanding  of  the  challenges  and  opportunities  for  undergraduate  colleges  now  and  in  the  future.  She  has  a  collaborative,  open  and  communicative  style  and  brings  great  passion  and  humor  in  addition  to  enormous  energy  and  enthusiasm.â&#x20AC;?

Byerly,  who  served  in  leader-­ ship  positions  at  Middlebury  for  13 Â

ALISON  R.  BYERLY years,  holds  an  interdisciplinary  ap-­ pointment  as  college  professor.  She  is  on  leave  as  a  visiting  scholar  in  literature  at  MIT  during  the  current  academic  year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  am  greatly  honored  to  be  cho-­ VHQ DV /DID\HWWHÂśV WK SUHVLGHQW and  excited  by  the  opportunity  to  lead  such  a  dynamic  and  am-­ bitious  institution,â&#x20AC;?  said  Byerly.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;As  an  undergraduate  college  that  encompasses  both  the  traditional  liberal  arts  and  a  strong  engineer-­ ing  program,  Lafayette  provides  an  extraordinary  range  and  depth  of  opportunities  to  students,  yet  it Â

remains  deeply  committed  to  the  highly  individualized,  one-­on-­one  mentoring  that  is  the  hallmark  of  the  residential  liberal  arts  college.â&#x20AC;?

Middlebury  College  President  Ronald  D.  Liebowitz  praised  Byer-­ lyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  appointment  at  Lafayette.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alison  was  so  effective  at  Mid-­ dlebury  because  she  had  strong  principles  that  guided  her  decision-­ making  and  was  skilled  at  seeing  the  larger  picture  and  long-­term  EHQHÂżWV RI WDNLQJ ZKDW ZDV QRW always  the  popular,  conventional  or  easy  path,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably  few  provosts  of  liberal  arts  colleges  have  engaged  as  many  proposals  for  innovation  and  change  as  she  has.  Her  broad  range  of  experiences  will  serve  her  very  well  as  president  of  Lafayette.â&#x20AC;?

Marna  C.  Whittington,  chair  of  Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  board  of  trustees,  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alison  takes  a  thoughtful  ap-­ proach  to  the  broad  challenges  fac-­ ing  higher  education  today  while  also  paying  extraordinary  attention  to  detail.  She  always  works  in  a  collegial  and  personable  way  that  encourages  dialogue  and  collabo-­ ration.  She  understands  well  the  shared  governance  process  and  has  worked  very  effectively  with  the  board  in  these  challenging  times  to  identify  the  right  priorities  for  Mid-­ dleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  future.â&#x20AC;?

Ski  association  hosting  specialty  foods  sampling  opportunities VERMONT  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Vermont  Ski  Areas  Association,  the  Agency  of  Agriculture  and  the  Vermont  Maple  Foundation  are  once  again  joining  forces  to  promote  Vermont  specialty  foods  at  area  ski  resorts.  Vermont  Specialty  Food  Days  of-­ fer  skiers  and  riders  the  opportu-­ nity  to  sample  tasty  treats  from  a  variety  Vermont  food  companies  while  visiting  resorts.  In  Addi-­ son  County,  Specialty  Food  Days  will  be  held  on  Saturday,  Feb.  16,  at  the  Middlebury  College  Snow  Bowl  during  Winter  Carnival  and  on  Saturday,  March  9,  at  the  Rikert  Nordic  Center.
