National skiing championship swooshes into town this week RIPTON  /  HANCOCK  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  best  collegiate  skiers  in  the  country  will  receive  the  red-­carpet  treat-­ ment  this  week  when  they  arrive  in  Middlebury  for  the  NCAA  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  and  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Alpine  and  Nordic  skiing  championships,  March  6-­9.

Skiers  from  as  far  away  as  Alaska,  New  Mexico,  Utah  and  Colorado,  and  from  as  close  by  as  UVM,  Harvard,  St.  Lawrence  and  Williams  were  due  to  begin  arriving  in  Vermont  over  the  weekend,  and  will  begin  practic-­ ing  at  the  Middlebury  College  Snow  Bowl  and  the  Rikert  Nordic  Center  on  Monday.

But  the  planning  for  the  four-­ day  event  began  in  2009  when  Middlebury  College  submitted  its  bid  to  host  the  NCAA  championship  IRU WKH ÂżIWK WLPH LQ KLVWRU\ 3UHYLRXV years  were  1961,  1972,  1988  and  2001.)  And  some  might  even  say  that  the  college  started  preparing  to  host  the  2013  nationals  as  far  back  as  2006  when  the  Snow  Bowl  under-­ took  widening  and  contour  improve-­ ments  to  the  Ross  and  Allen  trails Since  that  time,  the  college  has  replaced  the  chair  lift  on  Worth  Mountain,  where  the  slalom  and  giant  slalom  events  will  take  place;Íž  FRQVWUXFWHG D ÂżYH NLORPHWHU ÂłKRPRO-­ ogatedâ&#x20AC;?  race  course  at  the  Nordic  center  to  meet  international  standards  for  width,  climbing  levels  and  total  HOHYDWLRQ DGGHG ÂżEHU RSWLF FDEOH at  the  Snow  Bowl  for  improved  communications  services;Íž  and,  most  recently,  installed  at  Rikert  the  most  extensive  snowmaking  system  of  its  type  among  all  of  the  cross-­country  skiing  areas  in  North  America.

But  getting  ready  to  host  the  nation-­ als  takes  more  than  skiing  facili-­ ties,  snow  and  favorable  weather.  It  also  requires  the  host  school  to  handle  hundreds,  if  not  thousands,  of  details  like  lodging,  dining  and  meeting  space  for  athletes,  coaches  DQG 1&$$ RIÂżFLDOV 7KH VNLHUV need  access  to  training  rooms,  ski  waxing  and  sharpening  equipment  and  medical  personnel.  Members  of  the  media  expect  high-­tech  tele-­ communications,  credentials  and  up-­to-­the-­minute  statistics.  And  then  there  are  essentials  like  snowmaking, Â

In  my  very  simple  book,  that  of  a  Vermont-­raised,  Vermont-­educated  middle  aged  mom,  this  candidate  is  nothing  but  a  big  bully  plain  and  simple.  I  speak  from  experience  having  been  on  the  other  end  of  a  subject  he  disagreed  with.  I  and  my  whole  family  was  treated  with  such  disrespect  it  was  unimaginable.  Even  an  Environmental  Court  judge  dealt  with  his  disrespectful  entitled  attitude.  The  court  transcript  is  also  a  public  record.  We  teach  our  kids  in  school  to  stand  up  to  bullies.  It  is  time  this  town  stand  up  to  the  bullies  that  are  trying  to  take  it  over.

By  the  same  token  feel  free  to  go  www.mtabe.k12.vt.us/anesu/Board  you  can  watch  their  meetings  and  do  a  comparison.  Brian  Fox  is  by  far  the  better  candidate.  Vote  Brian  Fox  a  man  you  can  trust.

Hi, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m T.R.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to include your pet as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pet of the Weekâ&#x20AC;? simply include your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, gender, approximate age (if you know it), along with comments about the petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite activities, your favorite activity with the pet, what the pet enjoys eating, and any particular stories or incidents you might like to share concerning your pet.

Send the photo and story to the Addison Independent, Pet Page, P.O. Box 31, Middlebury, Vt., 05753.

It stands for That Rabbit.

At least, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been my name for the last couple weeks. You see, this is my story. One very cold and windy night on Feb. 7, a lady spotted me on the side of the road in a very desolate place in Middlebury. She called a wildlife rehabber in the area who scooped me up and took me to her home where it was warm. I was very dehydrated and hungry. A vet visited in a couple of days because I appeared to have a head or brain injury.

After some good meds, lots of great foods and lots of loving, I appear to be recovering. I love to

run around and be held, petted and fussed with, and the lady isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real sure what to do with me.

She thinks a home with inside quarters and lots of attention would be ideal. I am a rabbit but I act like a cat or dog. If you think you may be interested, you can call her at 352-4448. Please be sure, though; I certainly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go through that again.

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND ANIMAL WELFARE CENTER What a handsome boy, right? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Bilbo. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a super sweet and handsome fellow who would love to just warm your lap and your heart. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m friendly and mellow and I absolutely love being petted.

I love my meals and I love to take a nice, cozy nap. I have peacefully existed with many other cats before, but I have not yet been around children or dogs. I think I would do fine with either because of my gentlemanly-like disposition. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really into people and being around them and receiving lots of love. I adore being snuggled!

If you are looking for a handsome companion with a sweet and charming personality, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m your boy! Come meet me today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a real sweetie!

What a sweet face, right??? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Jasmine, one of the beautiful, sweet, and lovely kitties here at the shelter.

I love to be patted and talked to. I came from a chaotic and unstable environment and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ever so grateful for the patience and TLC shown to me by the shelter. I would do best in a calm home and with no other animals as they tend to stress me out.

I am looking forward to long naps on your lap and lounging in the sun.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just simply a sweet and loving gal who is anxiously awaiting a loving, forever home. I will make someone a loving and loyal companion if just given the chance. Take me home and see for yourself! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very special!
