Milk-Âloss  payments  arriving  just  in  time  for  local  farmers WASHINGTON  —  Sen.  Patrick  Leahy,  D-ÂVt.,  on  Thursday  said  $2.2  million  in  milk  program  safety  net  payments  are  arriving  just  as  Vermont  dairy  farmers  need  them  most,  as  spring  planting  begins.  The  U.S.  Department  of  Agriculture  (USDA)  last  week  announced  the  payments  under  the  Milk  Income  Loss  Contract  (MILC)  program  that  provides  support  in  months  when  the  price  that  farmers  are  paid  for  their  milk  drops  while  production  costs  remain  high. The  MILC  program  expired  in  August  of  2012,  after  the  House  of  Representatives  failed  to  act  on  a  new  Farm  Bill.  Leahy  engineered  legislation  to  reinstate  the  program,  retroactively,  in  the  New  Year’s  Day  ¿VFDO FOLII ELOO Leahy  said  the  payments  are  timely  and  much-Âneeded:  “Dry  weather  has  allowed  Vermont  farmers  to  get  a  head  start  on  spring  planting,  and Â

these  payments  will  help  pay  seed,  fertilizer  and  fuel  bills.  Money  spent  by  dairy  farmers  circulates  quickly  throughout  Vermont’s  economy,  through  local  feed  stores,  fuel  retailers,  truck  drivers,  farm  workers  and  the  entire  community.â€? The  most  recent  payments  cover  January,  February  and  March.  Leahy  said  it  is  fortunate  that  no  payments  were  needed  in  November  and  December,  when  milk  prices  remained  high,  compared  with  production  costs.  Including  retroactive  payments  for  September, Â
the  MILC  program  has  provided  $4.2  million  to  Vermont  dairy  farmers  since  Leahy  won  reinstatement  of  the  program. The  program  is  again  set  to  expire  in  September,  but  he  said  that  last  week  prospects  improved  for  transition  to  a  new  dairy  program  that  Leahy  led  in  including  in  the  Farm  Bill  that  was  approved  on  Tuesday  by  the  Senate  Agriculture  Committee.  The  full  Senate  begins  debate  on  the  Farm  Bill  this  week.  Leahy  is  the  most  senior  member  of  the  Senate  Agriculture  Committee.

Editorial
Gas and the public good The  Middlebury  selectboard  made  as  eloquent  and  rational  an  argument  for  supporting  the  Vermont  Gas  pipeline  to  Middlebury  as  can  be  made.  The  state- ment,  which  was  published  as  a  letter  accompanying  a  news  story  in  last  Thurs- day’s  Addison  Independent  (and  can  be  seen  at  www.addisonindependent.com)  is  considerate  of  others’  perspectives,  well-Âreasoned,  and  defends  what  it  sees  as  the  best  path  at  this  time  for  the  town  and  residents  of  Middlebury. They  also  framed  their  position  well,  as  follows:  “The  select  board  is  a  de- liberative  body  that  develops  policy  and  makes  decisions  for  the  public  good.  To  that  end  we  are  listeners  and  learners,  attentive  to  public  needs  and  desires  and  the  best  information  available  to  us.  There  are  occasions  when  there  is  no  easy  harmony  among  the  things  we  hear  and  learn  and  we  must  make  hard  judgments.  But  always,  it  is  the  public  good  as  far  as  it  can  be  assessed  that  determines  our  judgment.â€? Assessing  the  public  good,  of  course,  is  a  matter  of  individual  perspective. From  the  selectboard’s  perspective,  they  supported  Phase  I  of  the  project  for  the  following  reasons:  the  average  residential  user  of  natural  gas  compared  to  oil  heat  will  save  $1,200  to  $2,000  per  year;Íž  most  businesses  will  save  even  more;Íž  and  the  town’s  schools  and  larger  enterprises  can  save  tens  of  thousands  of  dollars,  if  not  more.  Porter  Hospital,  for  example,  has  an  annual  heating  bill  of  more  than  $1,000,000  —  saving  30  to  40  percent  on  that  amount  makes  a  real  difference.  The  selectboard  admits  that  renewable  energy  is  desirable  and  should  be  part  of  a  long-Âterm  strategy,  but  point  out  it  does  not  meet  market  needs  today.  The  board  also  makes  a  pertinent  point  concerning  the  demand  for  thermal  energy  and  commercial  uses,  citing  a  United  Nations  Industrial  Development  Organization  report  that  states  that  alternative  fuels  used  in  manufacturing  will  likely  represent  up  to  21  percent  of  total  industrial  usage.  Even  if  that  number  is  substantially  higher,  the  board  says,  “the  overall  message  is  that  for  many  years  to  come,  a  large  part  of  our  industrial  energy  needs  will  depend  on  the  use  of  coal,  oil,  natural  gas  or  nuclear  power. “Manufacturing  represents  a  critical  part  of  Middlebury’s  economic  stability  and  future,â€?  the  board’s  statement  continues,  citing  Agri-ÂMark  Cabot,  Green  Mountain  Beverage  and  Otter  Creek  Brewing  as  three  examples,  and  noting  that  Agri-ÂMark  expects  to  save  roughly  $3  million  annually  on  heating  costs  if  it  can  switch  to  natural  gas.  “These  companies,  as  well  as  the  other  quality  manufacturers  that  we  want  to  attract,  will  hopefully  replace  the  more  than  300  ORVW MREV DQG SURYLGH VLJQLÂżFDQW JURZWK WR RXU JUDQG OLVW $ JUHDWHU JUDQG OLVW brings  greater  (tax)  revenues,  better  public  services,  and  perhaps,  lower  taxes.â€? If  there  is  a  weakness  in  the  selectboard’s  argument,  it  is  that  they  don’t  deign  more  to  the  ill  effects  of  climate  change.  They  recognize  those  ills,  but  defer  to  the  pragmatic  reality  of  what  we  can  do  today  to  reduce  our  short- term  carbon  footprint  and  provide  the  economic  means  necessary  to  maintain  a  healthy  (rather  than  dying)  community. What’s  clear  in  their  overview  is  that  their  focus  is  the  public  good  of  Mid- dlebury.  Another  group  charged  with  managing  the  state’s  welfare  might  well  conclude  the  same.  A  group  charged  to  represent  the  nation,  and  if  it  were  given  purview  to  create  federal  policy,  might  press  to  reduce  fossil  fuel  use  and  promote  renewable  energy  to  a  much  higher  degree  —  recognizing  the  long- WHUP EHQHÂżWV ZRXOG EH LQ WKH QDWLRQÂśV EHVW LQWHUHVW $ ERG\ RI RIÂżFLDOV HOHFWHG to  represent  the  planet  would  surely  rule  against  any  future  long-Âterm  devel- opment  of  fossil  fuels  and  move  to  renewable  energy  as  quickly  as  possible.  The  reasons  are  plain:  From  a  global  perspective,  those  warning  of  the  ill  effects  of  climate  change  have  won  the  battle.  For  the  most  part,  the  world  recognizes  that  carbon  dioxide  is  wreaking  havoc  on  the  planet.  Game  over.  But  economic  challenges  remain  and  the  more  provincial  the  battle,  the  more  critical  those  economic  concerns  become.  Particularly  in  the  United  States,  where  states  compete  against  each  other  to  attract  business,  it  is  dif- ¿FXOW WR EH DQ LVODQG VWDWH WKDW DLPV WR EH IRVVLO IXHO IUHH \HW VWLOO KDYH D YLDEOH economy.  That  doesn’t  mean  Vermont  and  Middlebury  shouldn’t  push  toward  greater  use  of  renewable  energy  in  deliberative  and  far-Âreaching  ways,  but  it  does  mean  that  short-Âterm  economic  forces  are  part  of  the  equation  and  must  be  part  of  the  ongoing  dialogue  and  solution.  Game  on.

2.  Vermont  Gas  is  not  a  Vermont  company.  It  is  owned  by  Gaz  MĂŠtro  (as  are  Green  Mountain  Power  and  New  England  Energy  Systems),  Valener,  Trenco,  Noverco  and  Enbridge,  with  its  execrable  deadly  record  of  complete  disregard  for  safety  and  the  environment.  We  have  lost  enough  of  our  energy  in- dependence  —  let’s  not  lose  more. 3.  Our  electricity  and  gas  have  been  co-Âopted  by  a  series  of  Cana- dian  corporations,  who  have  noth- ing  but  greed  and  power  on  their Â
agenda.  Why  would  we  allow  Ver- mont  to  be  used  as  a  pass-Âthrough  between  two  international  corpora- tions:  Gaz  MĂŠtro  and  International  Paper? 4.  Vermont  is  known  as  a  “greenâ€?  state.  We  grow  and  consume  more  local  food  than  any  other  state.  Why  would  we  want  to  jeopardize  that  by  gas  leakages,  possible  explosions  and  pollution  by  a  Canadian  gas  company?  What  will  happen  to  the  many  new,  vibrant  farm  and  food  (See  Letter,  Page  5)

The  gas  company  repeatedly  as- serts  that  their  pipeline  is  perfectly  safe  and  they  would  comfortably  place  it  within  feet  of  a  residence  or  well.  They  argue  that  there  will  be  no  negative  impact  to  our  homes  or  health,  our  farmlands  or  wetlands,  our  natural  or  cultural  resources.  They  also  assert  that  there  will  be  no  decrease  in  property  values.  They  preach  their  belief  in  natural  gas  as  a  clean  fuel  source. +RZHYHU DOO WKLV SURSDJDQGD KLW a  wall  in  the  April  26  route  plan- ning  meeting  at  the  1-Âhour,  31-Âmin- ute  mark.  A  representative  from  Salisbury  asked  the  gas  company  if  their  pipes  contained  absolutely  pure  methane  and,  if  not,  what  else  was  in  there.  One  would  think  this  was  an  easy  question  for  a  company  that  sells  one  product.

Gas  utilities  often  prevail  in  court a  local  community,  with  its  zoning  laws  and  such,  can  do  to  prevent  lo- cal  pollution  by  these  businesses. When  the  gas  companies  get  tired  of  trying  to  sell  their  gas  pipelines,  they  can  take  local  communities  to  court  for  restraint  of  trade,  and  win,  and  win  lots  of  money.

By  XIAN  CHIANG-ÂWAREN STARKSBORO  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  An  unusual  nature-Âand-Âarts-Âbased  preschool  program  is  wrapping  up  a  successful  pilot  year. The  Wrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Nest  Preschool  is  a  proj- ect  of  the  Willowell  Foundation  and  run  by  a  mother-Âdaughter  team  of  edu- cators.  Katie  and  Karen  McEachen  of  Bristol  co-Âteach  the  weekly  sessions,  which  are  currently  run  out  of  Camp  Common  Ground  in  Starksboro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Willowell  has  been  doing  nature  education  for  high  schoolers  for  a  decade,  and  they  thought  that  a  pre- school  would  be  a  really  nice  sister  program,â&#x20AC;?  Katie  McEachen  said  in  a  recent  interview.  Karen,  59,  is  a  museum  educa- tor  at  Skidmore  College  in  Saratoga  Springs,  N.Y.,  and  taught  at  Bristol  Elementary  School  for  decades.  Ka- tie,  29,  was  trained  in  nature-Âbased Â

and  experiences  that  interest  them  the  most.  In  the  warmer  months,  at  least  half  the  day  is  spent  outside.  And  even  on  the  coldest  days  of  winter,  the  shortest  time  the  group  ever  spent  outside  was  an  hour  and  a  half.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  something  about  play- ing  in  nature.  Kids  can  be  creative  with  not  a  lot  available,  with  sticks  and  dirt  and  moss,â&#x20AC;?  Katie  McEachen  (See  Nature,  Page  17)

A  typical  day  at  Wrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Nest  would  have  some  things  in  common  with  other  preschool  programs,  but  overall  it  is  not  what  one  would  ¿QG DW D WUDGLWLRQDO GD\FDUH 7KH GD\ EHJLQV ZLWK indoor  playtime,  and  students  can  choose  from  a  variety  of  creative  and  constructive  materials  like  Play-ÂDoh,  building  blocks,  drawing  and  col- oring,  or  reading  books.  After  a  snack,  the  group  heads  out  into  the  woods  for  an  adventure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  to  tell  them  to  sit  still,  we  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  to  tell  them  to  slow  down.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  set  up  so  that  they  can  move  their  bodies,  and  be  loud  if  they  want  to,  and  (at  that  age)  I  think  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  really  important,â&#x20AC;?  McEachen  said.  Some  days,  outside  play  is  guided  by  an  ac- tivity.  Last  Monday,  the  group  was  on  a  scaven- ger  hunt,  looking  to  identify  frogs,  tadpoles  and  plants  that  grew  in  the  water. Other  times,  the  planned  activity  is  spontane- ously  thrown  out  the  window. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last  week,  we  found  a  baby  turtle,â&#x20AC;?  McEachen  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;That  took  up  a  lot  of  time.  We  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  plan  on  that!  But  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  big  part  of  our  philosophy:  planning  the  whole  day,  but  being  really  willing  to  throw  out  the  plans  if  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  something  that  is  catching  their  interest.â&#x20AC;?  At  the  end  of  the  groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  outdoor  time,  each  student  goes  to  what  McEachen  calls  their  â&#x20AC;&#x153;sit-Â
spotâ&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  place  that  they  return  to  each  day  of  class,  to  sit  and  engage  in  some  quiet,  sensory  meditation  time.

After  their  daily  meditation,  students  return  indoors  for  story  time,  lunch  and  more  reading  and  quiet  relaxation.  Wrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Nest  currently  has  10  students  en- rolled  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  all  boys.  After  a  successful  pilot  year,  Katie  and  Karen  will  be  back  to  teach  up  to  12  students  in  the  fall,  with  classes  once  a  week,  on  Mondays  from  8:30  a.m.  to  1  p.m.  Spaces  in  next  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  program  are  still  available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  love  to  get  some  girls,â&#x20AC;?  Katie  McEachen  said.

McEachen  is  also  hoping  to  develop  a  school  culture:  songs,  activities  and  traditions  that  will  bring  the  group  even  closer  together.  She  knows  She  and  several  friends  were  in  Dobkowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ¿UVWKDQG WKDW QDWXUH HGXFDWLRQ JURXSV FDQ KDYH a  lasting  impression  on  young  kids.  She  cred- tracking  club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  just  six  of  us  going  out  on  adven- its  her  high  school  teacher,  Mount  Abraham  Union  High  School  teacher  Jim  Dobkowski,  tures,â&#x20AC;?  McEachen  recalled.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Dobkowski)  ac- tually  mentioned  the  (Wilderness  Awareness)  with  sparking  her  interest  in  nature  education.

Vergennes (Continued  from  Page  1) depending  on  how  well  the  policy  works.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  policy  would  be  the  best  way  to  start,â&#x20AC;?  said  Alderwoman  Lynn  Donnelly,  adding  later,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  policy  might  be  a  good  idea  while  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  working  on  an  ordinance.â&#x20AC;? At  their  May  14  meeting,  alder- men  heard  from  Melanie  Clark,  an  Open  Door  Clinic  employee  who  is  helping  that  organization  administer  a  countywide  tobacco  prevention  grant  obtained  by  the  Boys  and  Girls  Club  of  Greater  Vergennes. &ODUN VDLG WKHUH DUH EHQHÂżWV WR adopting  a  policy  as  opposed  to  a Â
law.  Many  people  will  obey  a  policy,  she  said,  and  the  process  of  creating  a  policy  is  simpler  and  quicker.  But  policies  are  not  enforceable,  she  said.  Clark  cited  a  situation  at  Mount  Abraham  Union  High  School  in  which  she  alleged  students  who  are  older  than  18  are  smoking  there  because  the  Vermont  law  banning  tobacco  use  on  school  grounds  lacks  enforcement  provisions.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  you  really  want  this  to  be  fol- lowed,  you  need  an  ordinance,â&#x20AC;?  Clark  said. Clark  said  if,  for  example,  alder- men  wanted  to  prevent  tobacco  use  at  a  swim  meet,  police  could  only Â
enforce  those  preferences  with  a  law.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do  you  really  want  to  allow  peo- ple  to  smoke  at  the  event?  If  the  an- swer  is  no,  then  you  might  want  an  ordinance,â&#x20AC;?  Clark  said,  saying  with  a  policy,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably  a  certain  number  of  people  would  do  it  anyway.â&#x20AC;? Alderman  Renny  Perry  at  least  partly  disagreed.  Perry  said  he  be- lieved  â&#x20AC;&#x153;policies  are  enforceable  to  a  degreeâ&#x20AC;?  because  police  could  â&#x20AC;&#x153;remove  (offenders)  from  the  prop- erty.â&#x20AC;? Clark  suggested  aldermen  might  try  a  policy  to  cover  the  pool  area  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  for  which  a  toddlersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  park  has  also  been  proposed  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  the  city  green, Â
and  see  how  it  goes.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  probably  go  the  policy  route,  and  if  you  see  people  are  not  follow- ing  the  requirements,  then  you  could  adopt  an  ordinance,â&#x20AC;?  Clark  said.  Clark  also  offered  model  laws  that  could  make  the  council  and  its  smoking  subcommitteeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  jobs  easier.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  really  have  to  be  a  lot  of  time  put  in  to  making  one,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  Aldermen  backed  the  policy  route,  DW OHDVW DW ÂżUVW EHFDXVH SROLFLHV could  be  put  in  place  more  quickly.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  good  starting  step,â&#x20AC;?  said  Alderman  Randy  Ouellette.  The  ban,  whether  it  is  a  policy Â
or  eventually  a  law,  could  also  end  up  applying  to  events  like  the  city- sponsored  Youth  Fishing  Derby  that  are  held  on  public  property  other  than  the  pool  and  recreation  area  or  the  central  green.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  could  certainly  write  into  a  policy  any  city-Âsanctioned  event,â&#x20AC;?  said  Alderman  Joe  Klopfenstein. Clark  also  said  she  had  spoken  to  Police  Chief  George  Merkel,  who  echoed  research  elsewhere  that  showed  police  generally  back  tobac- co  bans  and  do  not  consider  them  to  be  â&#x20AC;&#x153;undue  burdens.â&#x20AC;?

She has a summer job teaching swimming lessons and also often volunteers as a lifeguard for school events. As an avid equestrian, Cassie also volunteers her time with the Vermont Morgan Horse Association. She is an elected representative for the senior class and the clerk on Mt.

In her high school experience, Cassie has found that the return you get from any experience is equal to only the amount of personal investment that you put into it. She has enjoyed her time spent at Mt. Abraham, and found an amazingly close-knit group of friends, nearly close enough to be siblings, all of whom she loves and admires. (Says Cassie: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twin, that means you.â&#x20AC;?) Cassieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers report that she is an intelligent, thoughtful and highly motivated young woman. Says one, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cassie is naturally curious with a desire to learn about everything. She is focused, dedicated, and driven to produce quality results in all areas of her life.â&#x20AC;? Cassie intends to have a double major in biology and the romance languages when she attends Cornell Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Arts & Sciences next fall. She has not decided the concentration for her biology major because the area is immensely diverse, but she intends to pursue a career in biomedical research. The knowledge of languages will allow her to travel in the international science community. The Mount Abe community wishes her the best at Cornell University.
Well Done, Students!

Pet
of the Week
Meet Frida!
My name is Frida because my Mama could tell right away that I have the personality and fashionable flair of Frida Kahlo! From my dramatic facial markings to my chic sense of accessorizing, my family, the Osbornes, could never get mad at me for redecorating the house with Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scarves every day. I live with two other cats, Bernie and Tuna, and a really big dog named Abbey Road. The cats thought they were going to be the bosses of me but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m teaching them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; viva la revoluciĂłn! Elyssa Osborne East Middlebury
