WhistlePig  Act  250  opinion could  affect  Vt.  agriculture By  JOHN  FLOWERS SHOREHAM  —  Raj  Peter  Bhatka’s  argument  that  his  pro-­ posed  whiskey  distillery  should  be  considered  a  farm  operation  does  not  hold  water  and  therefore  should  be  subject  to  Act  250  re-­ view  as  a  commercial  enterprise,  according  to  a  recent  opinion  is-­ sued  by  District  9  Environmental  Commission  Coordinator  Jeffrey  Green.

And  the  reason  Green  believes  Bhatka’s  argument  doesn’t  hold Â

water  is  because  the  whiskey  he  would  make  will  hold  a  lot  of  wa-­ ter.  He  said  water  is  a  resource  that  cannot  be  considered  an  ag-­ ricultural  commodity,  thereby  preventing  the  aspiring  whiskey  manufacturer  from  meeting  the  requirement  that  more  than  50  percent  of  the  ingredients  that  go  LQWR WKH PDNLQJ RI WKH ¿QLVKHG product  be  grown  on  the  farm  in  order  to  trigger  an  exemption  (See  WhistlePig,  Page  13)

Dancers draw attention to domestic violence By  XIAN  CHIANG-­WAREN MIDDLEBURY  —  Those  who  happened  past  Court  Square  in  Mid-­ dlebury  at  noon  on  Valentine’s  Day  may  have  noticed  an  unusual  sight:  around  30  women  holding  signs,  dancing,  singing  and  speaking  out.  It  was  part  of  One  Billion  Rising, Â

Progressive  plan  rich  in  rhetoric Give  Progressives  in  Montpelier  an  A+  for  consistency  in  their  appeal  to  add  more  taxes  on  the  rich,  and  a  D-­  for  their  failure  to  advance  budget  ideas  that  stimulate  growth  and  get  a  handle  on  state  spending.

Rep.  Chris  Pearson,  a  Progressive  from  Burlington,  took  the  podium  at  a  press  conference  this  past  Wednesday  to  go  over  a  chart  suggesting  Ver-­ mont’s  wealthy  saw  their  incomes  rise  by  136.4  percent  in  the  past  decade,  while  the  tax  bracket  with  the  state’s  median  household  income  ($53,000)  saw  a  slight  decrease  and  those  under  $30,000  saw  their  incomes  decline.  Based  on  that  scant  information,  Pearson  and  a  handful  of  other  Progres-­ sives  proposed  an  alternative  way  to  fund  almost  $17  million  that  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  has  redirected  via  cuts  to  the  Earned  Income  Tax  Credit.  The  proposal  would  generate  $20  million  through  a  host  of  revenue  sources  that  will  tax  upper-­  and  middle-­income  Vermonters  in  a  variety  of  ways,  including  reducing  the  exemption  of  the  estate  tax  from  $2.75  million  to  $1  million  (generating  $1.9  million)  —  an  onerous  tax  for  many  family  farms.

But  where  it  gets  really  rich  is  in  their  rhetoric:  “Many  of  us  across  the  VWDWH ÂżQG WKH JRYHUQRUÂśV IXQGLQJ SURSRVDOV GHWDFKHG IURP WKH HFRQRPLF reality  of  our  neighbors.  It’s  downright  an  insult  to  the  working  families  of  our  state,â€?  Pearson  said.  Added  Barre  Independent  Paul  Poirier:  “You  cannot  ignore  that  we  have  a  large  segment  of  Vermonters  who  are  doing  very  well  —  and  I’m  glad  they’re  doing  very  well,  but  at  the  same  time‌  we’re  not  asking  them  to  do  anything  to  help  contribute  to  try  to  make  life  easier  for  people  who  are  struggling.â€?

Let’s  review  some  facts:  ‡ 9HUPRQW KDV WKH PRVW JHQHURXV ZHOIDUH WR ZRUN SODQ FDOOHG 5HDFK 8S LQ WKH QDWLRQ :KLOH PRVW VWDWHV FDS WKHLU FRQWULEXWLRQV DW ¿YH \HDUV 9HUPRQW LV WKH RQO\ VWDWH LQ WKH FRXQWU\ WR KDYH QR FDS DW DOO %HQH¿WV theoretically,  could  last  a  lifetime.  The  governor  has  argued,  as  have  gover-­ nors  before  him,  that  such  a  welfare  program  provides  no  incentive  to  seek  work;͞  that  it  traps  families  in  a  cycle  of  dependency  and  poverty.  The  gov-­ HUQRUœV SURJUDP ZRXOG EULQJ 9HUPRQWœV EHQH¿WV LQ OLQH ZLWK RWKHU VWDWHV E\ HQGRUVLQJ D ¿YH \HDU FDS +DUGVKLS FDVHV DQG WKRVH ZLWK GLVDELOLWLHV DQG many  other  exceptions,  will  be  granted  on  an  individual  basis  (meaning  that  those  who  really  can’t  work  won’t  be  left  on  the  streets  with  no  help  from  the  state;͞  but  those  who  are  physically  and  mentally  able  to  hold  a  job  will  be  expected  to  do  so.)  ‡ 9HUPRQW KDV RQH RI WKH KLJKHU VWDWH LQFRPH WD[ UDWHV LQ WKH FRXQWU\ The  funds  raised  from  those  taxes  provide  the  generous  programs  that  help  Vermont’s  low-­income.  And  the  last  time  I  checked,  there  is  no  cap  on  that  income  tax.  If  a  person’s  income  climbs  136  percent  in  a  decade,  they  paid  state  income  taxes  on  that  increased  income.  To  suggest  somehow  that  the  rich  have  not  contributed  more  as  their  incomes  have  increased  is  simply  untrue.  And  that  is  not  even  mentioning  the  fact  that  many  of  those  wealthy  Vermonters  would  be  job  creators  in  the  state:  Tax  them  too  much  and  some  may  choose  to  move.  We’re  not  big  fans  of  fear  tactics  in  such  argu-­ ments,  but  at  some  point  Progressives  have  to  give  credence  to  the  notion  that  you  can’t  just  keep  increasing  taxes  on  the  wealthiest  few.  Spending  cuts  must  be  part  of  the  conversation.

World’s  resources  decline  as  its  population  surges If  most  letters  to  the  editor  are  indicators  of  American’s  opinions,  we  are  an  optimistic  but  unreal-­ istic  people.  Most  letters  suggest  that  the  “American  way  of  lifeâ€?  or  “standard  of  livingâ€?  will  continue  LQGHÂżQLWHO\ 7KH VDG WUXWK KRZHY-­ er,  is  that  our  traditional  economic  growth  and  high  employment Â

are  slowing  and  will  continue  to  decelerate  faster  in  two  or  three  decades,  both  here  and  abroad.  The  laws  of  thermodynamics  state  it  quite  simply:  Nothing  can  grow  forever.  That  includes  the  U.S.  and  world  economies,  and  the  Vermont  economy.  So,  a  slow  transition  to  a  no-­growth  economy  is  necessary  if Â

we  are  to  avert  a  sudden,  economic  jolt.

Another  way  to  describe  it:  The  pie  is  growing  smaller,  even  while  more  people  demand  their  piece  of  pie  every  year.  The  world  is  running  out  of  natural  resources  that  are  necessary  for  a  growing  (See  Letter,  Page  5)

Harold Mayforth Jr., 91, Bristol

BY GREG PAHL reveal  the  music,  the  text  and  the  intention  of  other  musi-­ cians  with  intelligence  and  judgment.  At  this  stage  of  his  career  Sutherland  is  considered  a  cultural  icon  and  Ver-­ mont  treasure.

WhistlePig (Continued  from  Page  1) from  Act  250  review.

Bhatka  was  candid  in  his  criticism  of  Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  jurisdictional  opinion,  dat-­ ed  Feb.  8.  Barring  a  successful  appeal,  the  verdict  means  he  will  have  to  suc-­ cessfully  secure  Act  250  permission  in  order  to  convert  his  existing  dairy  barn  WR D U\H ZKLVNH\ GLVWLOOHU\ DQG RIÂżFH space,  and  build  a  50-­foot-­by-­90-­foot  storage  barn.  Several  neighbors  have  already  been  granted  party  status  and  have  vowed  to  challenge  the  project,  ZKLFK VRPH IHDU ZRXOG EULQJ WUDIÂżF noise  and  potentially  a  black  mold  that  they  believe  would  be  a  byproduct  of  the  whiskey  making  process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  commission  has  asserted  that,  though  our  product  would  be  entirely  made  from  our  own  grain,  the  fact  that  SHUFHQW RI WKH ÂżQDO SURGXFW LV ZD-­ ter,  it  is  not  an  agricultural  product,â&#x20AC;?  Bhatka  said  in  an  e-­mail  response  to  questions  from  the  Addison  Indepen-­ dent.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;By  that  very  same  logic,  milk  and  cider,  to  name  just  a  few  things,  are  not  agricultural  products,  which  is  preposterous.  Apparently  no  one  is  exempt  from  Act  250  regulations.  No  one.  This  leaves  us  with  no  choice  but  to  appeal,  both  for  the  future  of  our  farm  and  for  the  future  of  all  other  farms  in  the  state.  If  Act  250  thinks  that  milk  is  not  an  agricultural  prod-­ uct,  which  it  has  implied  in  that  ruling,  then  Vermont  is  in  a  very  sorry  state  of  affairs  and  farms  will  be  strangled  with  red  tape.â&#x20AC;?

Bhatka  bought  the  former  dairy Â

farm  off  Quiet  Valley  Road  back  in  2007  and  decided  to  make  it  the  home  base  for  production  of  his  WhistlePig  brand  rye  whiskey.  He  has  spent  the  SDVW IHZ \HDUV SXWWLQJ WRJHWKHU ¿QDQF-­ ing  to  build  a  distillery  and  storage  facility  for  a  whiskey  that  would  be  made  from  a  foundation  of  rye  grown  on  the  farm.  In  the  meantime,  he  has  been  sourcing  whiskey  from  Canada  and  bottling  it  on  site.

Stating  he  was  unaware  of  the  Act  250  requirement,  Bhatka  began  mak-­ ing  distillery-­related  improvements  to  his  property  several  years  ago,  which  drew  concerns  from  some  neighbors.  2Q 1RY KH ÂżOHG KLV IRUPDO Act  250  application  for  the  proposed  improvements,  including  those  he  had  already  made.  That  application  stated,  among  other  things,  that  the  farm  would  produce  more  than  50  percent  of  the  rye  crop  used  in  making  the  whiskey  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  formula  that  Bhatka  and  his  attorney  said  should  classify  Whis-­ tlePig  as  a  farm  and  therefore  exempt  from  Act  250.

Green,  in  his  jurisdictional  order,  VDLG :KLVWOH3LJ GHFOLQHG WR VSHFLÂż-­ cally  reveal  the  ingredients  of  their  whiskey.  So  Green  said  that  he  did  his  own  research  into  the  manufacture  of  rye  whiskey,  and  took  issue  with  the  companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  central  argument. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  most  recent  proposal  assumes  that  WhistlePig,  LLC  will  only  create  a  whiskey  that  will  be  at  least  101  proof  (50.5  percent  by  alcohol  by  volume)  when  it  is  bottled,â&#x20AC;?  Green Â

said  in  his  opinion.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;WhistlePig,  LLC  argues  that  the  principal  ingredient  in  whiskey  after  it  is  processed  is  alco-­ hol,  not  water,  and  therefore  since  all  the  alcohol  is  produced  from  grain  JURZQ RQ WKH IDUP LW VDWLVÂżHV WKH ÂľSULQFLSDOO\ SURGXFHGÂś WHVW GHÂżQHG LQ Act  250  Rule  2(C)(19).  Although  this  argument  is  creative,  it  is  my  opinion  that  an  analysis  that  accounts  only  for  the  end  product  and  which  fails  to  ac-­ count  for  all  of  the  ingredients  used  to  manufacture  the  product  fails  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  statute  and  rule.â&#x20AC;?

Green  argued  that  WhistlePigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  end  product  is  alcohol,  which  is  not  an  ingredient  in  the  whiskey  recipe.  He  also  argued  that  the  rye  grown  on-­site  and  used  in  the  making  of  the  whiskey  does  not  exceed  the  weight  or  volume  of  what  Green  considers  to  be  the  productâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  main  ingredient:  Water.

While  WhistlePigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  water  is  drawn  from  an  on-­site  well,  Green  pointed  to  a  past  Environmental  Commission  decision  indicating  that  water  cannot  be  considered  an  agricultural  product.  That  Aug.  19,  2008,  decision  related  to  a  farmstead  brewery  that  had  also  argued  for  an  agricultural  exemption  under  Act  250.  But  the  District  7  En-­ vironmental  Commission  coordinator  in  that  case  determined  that  water  was  not  an  agricultural  product  that  was  grown  on  the  farm;Íž  water  comprised  more  than  50  percent  by  weight  or  volume  of  the  raw  ingredients  that  went  into  its  product;Íž  and  less  than  50 Â

percent  of  the  ingredients  were  agri-­ cultural  products  that  were  grown  on  the  farm.  As  a  result,  the  farmstead  brewery  did  not  qualify  for  the  farm-­ ing  exemption  because  less  than  50  percent  of  the  agricultural  products  WKDW DFWXDOO\ ZHQW LQWR WKH ÂżQLVKHG product  actually  came  from  the  farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  examining  the  only  evidence  presented  on  this  issue  and  assum-­ ing  that  water  and  grain  are  by  far  the  principal  ingredients  (by  weight  and  volume)  used  in  the  production  of  rye  whiskey,  then  the  preponderance  of  the  evidence  is  that  water  makes  up  60  percent  of  the  volume  and  73  percent  by  weight  of  the  ingredients  used  in  the  production  of  whiskey,â&#x20AC;?  Green  wrote  in  his  opinion.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water  is  not  among  the  agricultural  products  or  activities  enumerated  in  the  statutory  exemption  for  farming,  nor  cited  in  the  rule.â&#x20AC;?

Green  said  Bhatka  has  two  avenues  through  which  to  appeal  the  jurisdic-­ tional  opinion,  each  within  30  days.  He  can  submit  new  facts  and  ask  Green  to  reconsider  his  opinion;͞  or  he  can  appeal  it  directly  to  Vermont  Superior  Court,  Environmental  Court  division.

George  Gross  and  Barbara  Wilson  own  and  operate  the  nearby  Solar  Haven  Farm  LLC  at  977  Bates  Road.  The  couple  has  been  very  vocal  in  their  concerns  about  WhistlePigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  plans  and  potential  impacts  on  their  small,  organic  berry  and  fruit  tree  farm.  Their  concerns  include  the  dis-­

tilleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fermentation  and  whiskey  ag-­ ing  process  that  will  produce  ethanol  emissions  they  believe  could  trigger  the  formation  of  Baudoinia  comp-­ niacensis  black  mold  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  also  known  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;whiskey  fungusâ&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  on  structures  in  the  vicinity  of  the  whiskey  aging  warehouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  consider  the  Jurisdictional  Opinion  decision  to  be  an  essential  ¿UVW VWHS WRZDUGV EULQJLQJ WKH :KLV-­ tlePig  distillery  and  whiskey  ware-­ housing  project  into  the  public  review  process,â&#x20AC;?  the  couple  said  in  response  to  an  e-­mail  request  for  comment.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  decision  compels  the  proposed  WhistlePig  project  to  have  a  level  of  transparency,  disclosure,  and  account-­ ability  that  otherwise  would  not  have  occurred.  The  Shoreham  commu-­ nity  will  now  have  the  opportunity  to  protect  their  economic,  agricultural,  and  environmental  interests  from  the  threat  of  whiskey  mold,  alo]ng  with  the  other  negative  impacts  of  the  proposed  WhistlePig  project.  At  the  forthcoming  March  22  Act  250  public  hearing,  Solar  Haven  Farm  will  pres-­ HQW WKH VFLHQWLÂżF IDFWV GHVFULELQJ KRZ the  ethanol  emissions  from  the  Whis-­ tlePig  whiskey  aging  warehouse  will  permeate  the  Lemon  Fair  River  valley  area,  fostering  the  growth  of  whiskey  mold.  This  mold  could  potentially  im-­ pact  all  neighbors  and  agricultural  en-­ terprises  surrounding  the  WhistlePig  warehouse  site.â&#x20AC;?

National FFA Month

FFA  students  learn valuable  life  skills ADDISON  COUNTY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  FFA  (Future  Farmers  of  America)  is  a  national  organization  founded  by  a  group  of  young  farmers  back  in  1928.  The  FFA  helps  young  people  develop  career,  leadership  and  life  skills  through  agricultural  educa-­ tion.  Today  agriculture  is  more  than  planting  and  harvesting  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  sci-­ ence,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  business  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  art.

Here  in  Addison  County,  FFA  members  are  typically  students  en-­ rolled  in  agricultural  courses  such  as  the  Sustainable  Agriculture,  For-­ estry  and  Natural  Resources,  Diesel  Power  Technology,  Mechanical  Sci-­ ence  or  Plant/Animal  Science  pro-­ grams  at  the  Hannaford  Career  Cen-­ ter  or  Vergennes  Union  High  School.

Students  have  the  opportunity  to  compete  in  career  development  events  (CDEs)  with  other  FFA  mem-­ bers  from  around  the  state.  FFA Â

teams  that  win  these  events  are  eli-­ gible  to  travel  to  the  National  FFA  Convention  in  Indiana  representing  Vermont  to  compete  against  teams  from  the  other  states.

This  year  the  Hannaford  Career  Center  Sustainable  Agriculture  and  Forestry/Natural  Resources  class  at-­ tended  the  Vermont  State  Land  and  Soil  Evaluation  CDE  at  the  Vermont  Technical  College.  The  Middlebury  FFA  team  placed  second  out  of  10  competing  schools.  Six  students  placed  in  the  top  10  for  their  indi-­ vidual  scores.  FFA  member  Cody  Emmons  placed  third  in  the  state  for  his  individual  score.  The  Forestry  and  Natural  Re-­ sources  Class  also  had  a  team  com-­ pete  out  in  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  at  the  National  FFA  Convention  in  the  LOCAL  FFA  MEMBERS  Mikayla  VanderWey,  left,  April  Rheaume  and  Spring  Forestry  CDE.  That  team  se-­ Kristen  Gosselin  take  notes  at  the  Vermont  State  Soil  and  Land  Evaluation  cured  a  silver  medal. competition  at  Vermont  Technical  College.

MIDDLEBURY  FFA  MEMBER  Cody  Emmons,  left,  receives  the  top  individual  award  in  the  FFA  Winter  Forestry  competi-­ tion  held  at  the  Vermont  Farm  Show.

 The  557,318  student  members  of  the  National  FFA  Organization  prepare  for  leadership  and  careers  in  the  science,  business  and  technology  of  agriculture.  The  FFA  mission  is  to  make  a  positive  difference  in  the  lives  of  students  by  developing  their  potential  for  premier  leadership,  personal  growth  and  career  success  through  agricultural  education  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  always  recognizing  the  diversity  and  growth  potential  of  agricultural  education.  The  7,489  local  FFA  chapters  are  throughout  all  50  states,  Puerto  Rico  and  the  Virgin  Islands.  The  U.S.  Department  of  Education  provides  leadership  and  helps  set  direction  for  FFA  as  a  service  to  state  and  local  agricultural  education  programs.  For  more,  visit  the  National  FFA  Organization  online  at  www.FFA.org,  on  Facebook,  Twitter  and  the  RIÂżFLDO 1DWLRQDO ))$ 2UJDQL]DWLRQ EORJ

Generally,  however,  Merkel  re-­ acted  positively  to  the  billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  attempts  to  attack  the  problem  of  home  thefts,  most  of  which  law  enforcement  says  are  drug-­related,  from  the  fencing  end.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  in  favor  of  it  â&#x20AC;Ś  We  need  to  try  to  take  all  the  loopholes  out,  as  many  as  we  can,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  But  Merkel  said  the  law,  if  ad-­ opted,  would  only  be  as  good  as  its  enforcement.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  we  are  going  to  enact  a  regula-­ tion  like  this  â&#x20AC;Ś  we  need  to  be  ready  to  put  the  teeth  behind  this,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  VSP  Senior  Trooper  Benjamin  Katz,  who  consulted  with  lawmak-­ ers  as  they  drafted  the  bill,  is  con-­ ÂżGHQW LW ZLOO KDYH D SRVLWLYH HIIHFW â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  absolutely  no  question  this  bill  will  be  a  huge  help  to  law  en-­ forcement  agencies  in  the  state  in  re-­ covering  stolen  property,â&#x20AC;?  Katz  said.

Katz  also  pointed  out  that  it  is  a  federal  offense  for  thieves  to  cross  state  lines  with  stolen  goods,  and  that  many  criminals  lack  the  re-­ VRXUFHV WR WUDYHO WR DQG ÂżQG IHQFHV in  other  states.  Ultimately,  Katz  said,  the  bill  would  help  police  perform  what  he  thinks  should  be  their  most  impor-­ tant  job  after  break-­ins.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  number  one  goal  should  be  to  return  stolen  property,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  BILL  OUTLINE The  proposed  bill  would  require  licenses  for  all  pawnbrokers  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;precious  metal  dealersâ&#x20AC;?  who  pur-­ chase  or  sell  â&#x20AC;&#x153;$50,000  or  more  of  used  precious  metal,  coins,  jewelry,  or  similar  itemsâ&#x20AC;?  a  year.  License  applications  would  have  to  include  information  on  crimes  of  which  any  business  owner  or  employee  has  been  convicted.  Ap-­ plications  would  be  denied  if  cer-­ tain  convictions  were  discovered  in  a  background  check,  including  for  a  felony,  petit  larceny  or  receipt  of  stolen  property.  Licenses  could  also  be  revoked  for  such  offenses  committed  by  a  business  owner  or  employee.

The  law  would  also  require  busi-­ nesses  to  provide  a  statement  of  the  amount  paid  for  the  items,  and  a  photograph  or  video  and  descrip-­ tion  of  the  items,  plus  a  record  of  the  address,  phone  number,  license  plate  and  ID  card  of  the  seller.  If  a  business  buys  or  sells  $50,000  or  more  of  goods  in  a  year,  those  records  would  have  to  be  computer-­ ized.

Those  records  would  also  have  to  be  made  readily  available  to  law  en-­ forcement.  Pawnbrokers  would  also  be  for-­ bidden  to  resell  â&#x20AC;&#x153;pawned  or  pledged  propertyâ&#x20AC;?  for  six  months,  to  accept  pawned  goods  from  minors  with-­ out  written  permission  from  parents  or  guardians,  or  to  pay  for  pawned  property  in  cash.  Pawnbrokers  and  precious  metal  dealers  would  also  be  required  to  re-­ port  certain  â&#x20AC;&#x153;suspicious  activityâ&#x20AC;?  un-­ der  the  proposed  law.  That  activity  is  GHÂżQHG DV RQH WUDQVDFWLRQ LQ H[FHVV RI $1,000,  multiple  deals  in  a  month  to-­

Violations  of  the  law  would  be  SXQLVKDEOH E\ D ÂżQH RI XS WR IRU D ÂżUVW RIIHQVH DQG XS WR for  repeat  offenses.  The  law  would  also  create  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ju-­ dicial  Bureauâ&#x20AC;?  within  the  Judicial  Branch  to  oversee  the  regulations.

FEEDBACK Lanpher  said  she  and  her  fellow  lawmakers  worked  to  ensure  the  regulations  werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  too  burdensome  for  small  businesses.  They  recruited  Ferrisburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Greg  Hamilton,  owner  of  Stone  Block  Antiques  in  Ver-­ gennes  and  the  president  of  the  Ver-­ mont  Antiques  Dealers  Association,  to  help  out.  Hamilton  has  traveled  to  Montpe-­ lier  to  testify  and  said  he  was  success-­ ful  in  having  antiques  dealers  removed  from  earlier  drafts  of  the  law.  Scrap  metal  dealers  were  also  removed  in  the  process.  Hamilton  said  most  antiques  are  traceable  items  obtained  from  fami-­ lies;Íž  the  sellers  are  known  and  the  goods  are  not  typically  like  those  tak-­ en  in  home  or  car  break-­ins.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most  of  the  stuff  I  buy  is  from  peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  houses  when  their  mother  has  passed  away.  I  know  where  it  comes  from,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  Hamilton  called  the  law  â&#x20AC;&#x153;way  better  than  it  was,â&#x20AC;?  but  remains  concerned  with  the  record-­keeping  elements  in  the  regulations.  He  and  other  antique  dealers  typically  handle  enough  es-­ tate  jewelry  or  silver  goods  (many  of  which  have  more  melt  value  than  in  as-­is  condition,  he  said),  and  will  be  subject  to  licensing  and  computeriza-­ tion  requirements.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  do  have  issues  with  the  whole  idea  â&#x20AC;Ś  Basically  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  treating  ev-­ ery  transaction  like  a  crime,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  just  seems  like  a  lot  of  guilty-­until-­ proven-­innocent,  and  I  have  a  bit  of  a  hard  time  with  that.  Nobody  except  the  criminal  element  wants  to  buy  and  sell  stolen  goods,  and  the  criminal  ele-­ ment  will  continue  to  do  it.â&#x20AC;?

Still,  on  balance,  Hamilton  will  not  oppose  the  law.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  does  give  the  police  the  teeth,â&#x20AC;?  he  said,  adding,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  guess  I  can  live  with  it  the  way  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  reading  it  right  now.â&#x20AC;?

Two  with  fewer  reservations  are  Weybridge  couple  Jan  Albers  and  Paul  Monod.  Thieves  broke  into  their  home  in  November  2011  and  made  off  with  jewelry,  a  computer  and  many  other  items.  Albers  and  Monod  worked  with  VSP  to  recover  some  of  their  posses-­ sions  from  Chittenden  County  busi-­ nesses,  some  of  which  they  said  were  less  than  ethical  and  at  least  one  of  which  went  above  and  beyond  the  call  of  duty  and  provided  information  that  helped  lead  to  arrests.

Ultimately,  a  frustrating  process  led  to  the  return  of  some,  but  far  from  all,  of  their  property.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  clear  to  us  that  dealers  have  a  very  good  nose  for  stolen  goods,â&#x20AC;?  Albers  said  in  an  email.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;As  one  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  always  suspicious  when  I  have  a  young  woman  come  in  to  try  to  sell  me  something  and  I  can  see  her  boy-­

friend  hanging  around  the  car  in  my  parking  lot.  Why  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  he  coming  in,  too?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  Some  dealers  care  if  the  goods  are  stolen,  some  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.  Some  suddenly  care  when  the  heat  starts  to  be  turned  up  on  them.â&#x20AC;?

Monod  noted  in  an  email  that  one  store  the  thieves  did  business  with  paid  with  checks,  and  when  prod-­ ded  the  owner  produced  documents  that  also  helped  lead  to  the  arrests.  He  said  he  likes  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  general  inten-­ tions  of  this  law  as  well  as  many  of  the  details.  It  makes  sense  to  license  pawnbrokers  and  to  require  them  to  keep  better  records.â&#x20AC;?  But  he  is  con-­ cerned  that  if  the  law  is  â&#x20AC;&#x153;too  burden-­ some  to  dealers,  it  will  drive  fencing  even  further  underground  and  make  it  harder  to  trace  goods.â&#x20AC;?

But  the  alternative,  Monod  wrote,  is  worse: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  present  situation  is  awful,  and  it  may  actually  encourage  theft.  The  police  do  not  have  the  time  to  track  down  fenced  goods,  the  dealers Â

GREG  HAMILTON,  OWNER  of  Stone  Block  Antiques  in  Vergennes,  consulted  with  lawmakers  about  a  proposed  law  that  would  regulate  pawnbrokers  and  purveyors  of  precious  metals.  Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell

can  easily  hide  what  they  have  ac-­ quired  and  the  thieves  do  not  have  to  worry  much  about  being  traced.  Our  thieves  did  not  worry  at  all  about  taking  checks  from  a  dealer  that  were  made  out  to  their  names.  Any  changes  to  the  law  that  might  make  it  easier  to  follow  the  path  of  stolen Â

goods  would  be  welcome.â&#x20AC;?

And  Albers  agreed.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything  that  discourages  deal-­ ers  from  fencing  stolen  goods  by  making  it  harder  for  them  to  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;play  dumbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  is  a  step  in  the  right  direc-­ tion,â&#x20AC;?  she  wrote.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  hope  this  passes  into  law.â&#x20AC;?

However,  once  the  new  baby  ar-­ rives,  things  may  have  to  change  a  bit,  and  Rheaume  and  Wedge  are  be-­ ginning  to  consider  what  that  means  for  their  family.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;With  a  new  baby  and  Duncan  be-­ ginning  school  soon,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  have  to  consider  a  schedule  that  is  more  aligned  with  other  schedules  around.â&#x20AC;?  They  have  been  fortunate  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;DUNCAN  IS  A  DADDYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S  BOY  Duncan  has  been  willing  and  able  to  through-­and-­through,â&#x20AC;?  says  follow  their  irregular  patterns  and  ac-­ PRWKHU 'DQLHOOH 5KHDXPH +HUH Will  and  Duncan  Wedge  pose  while  RQ D IDUP WRXU

Tips  for  traveling  with  kids (MS)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Many  people  enjoy  traveling.  The  opportunity  to  spend  free  time  experiencing  other  cultures  or  visiting  faraway  lands  appeals  to  many  peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  inquisitive  and  adventur-­ ous  natures,  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  wonder  retirees  often  devote  so  much  time  traveling  the  world.

Yet  traveling  as  a  carefree  retiree  and  trav-­ eling  as  a  parent  to  young  children  are  two  entirely  different  things;Íž  and  parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  love  of  travel  is  often  put  to  the  test  when  the  kids  are  in  tow.  But  traveling  with  kids  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  be  a  logistical  nightmare.  The  following  are  a  few  travel  tips  for  parents  about  to  go  on  vaca-­ tion  with  their  little  ones. Â&#x2021; &KHFN \RXU Ă&#x20AC;LJKW VWDWXV.  Flights  are  commonly  rescheduled,  which  can  be  incon-­ venient  for  adult  travelers  who  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  a  couple  of  kids  tagging  along.  For  parents,  though,  extra  time  waiting  at  the  airport  with  kids  can  be  stressful  and  tough  to  handle.  %HIRUH OHDYLQJ WKH KRXVH FKHFN \RXU Ă&#x20AC;LJKW status  to  ensure  you  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  spending  extra  time  sitting  and  waiting  at  the  airport  and  look-­ ing  for  things  to  quell  your  childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  boredom.  :KHQ ERRNLQJ WKH Ă&#x20AC;LJKW VLJQ XS IRU Ă&#x20AC;LJKW updates  that  are  sent  directly  to  your  mobile  phone.  These  will  keep  you  posted  and  save  you  the  hassle  of  going  online  and  checking  \RXU Ă&#x20AC;LJKW VWDWXV HYHU\ IHZ KRXUV Â&#x2021; &KHFN LQ DKHDG RI WLPH  Many  airlines  allow  passengers  to  check  in  ahead  of  time,  W\SLFDOO\ ZLWKLQ WR KRXUV RI WKH Ă&#x20AC;LJKWÂśV scheduled  departure.  When  kids  are  coming  along,  the  less  time  you  spend  in  line  at  the  airport  the  better,  and  checking  in  ahead  of  time  can  save  you  from  waiting  in  long  check-­ in  lines  at  the  airport.

We offer sensitive, confidential, and holistic gynecologic and obstetrical care by understanding that each woman comes to us with her own unique experiences.

Emphasis is placed on continuity of care where women and families form a partnership with their midwives that is flexible, empowering, and supportive.

Midwifery care is centered upon the belief that pregnancy and childbirth are a normal physiological process and a profound event in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Midwives offer collaborative care with obstetricians, primary care providers and referrals to specialists as needed. Midwifery care is covered by most health care plans.

The  22-­2  Panthers,  seeded  third  in  the  NESCAC  playoffs,  will  face  No.  2  Williams  on  Saturday  at  3  p.m.  at  Amherst.  The  Ephs  edged  the  Pan-­ thers  in  Williamstown,  64-­63,  on  Jan.  26.  No.  4  Tufts  (17-­8)  will  meet  No.  1  Amherst  (23-­2)  at  1  p.m.,  and  WKH ¿QDO LV VHW IRU QRRQ RQ 6XQGD\ Amherst  defeated  the  host  Panthers,  104-­101,  in  triple  overtime  on  Feb.  9.

Panther  Coach  Jeff  Brown  said  he  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  make  major  changes  against  the  Ephs  or  Jeffs  this  weekend.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both  games  were  really  exciting  and  came  down  to  the  end,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  just  got  to  play  a  tiny  bit  bet-­ ter.â&#x20AC;?

But  rebounding  will  be  an  em-­ phasis.  The  Jeffs  pulled  down  19  of-­ fensive  boards  vs.  Middlebury,  and  Wesleyan  hauled  in  13  on  Saturday. Â

He is rooted in community service and his handshake is his word and his bond. Learning to work with his hands, he has acquired many skills and talents needed in our community. Trevor loves the Champlain Valley and even though college may take him away, he will come back and become one of its leaders. VUHS wishes him well!â&#x20AC;?

After high school, Trevor plans to go to college or into the U.S. military. The faculty, staff and students of VUHS wish Trevor all the best in his future plans.

It’s against the law to discriminate when advertising housing related activities.

Particularly on sites like Craigslist.

And it’s easier to break the law than you might think. You can’t say “no children” or “adults only.”

There is lots you can’t say. The federal government is watching for such discrimination.

Let us help you sift through the complexities of the Fair Housing Law. Stay legal. Stay on the right side of the nation’s Fair Housing Law. Call the Addison Independent at (802) 388-­4944.
