Editorial Taxes  and  state  priorities Hundreds  of  Vermonters  from  across  the  state  have  apparently  deluged  state  senators  with  the  message  not  to  tax  their  TV,  apparently  because  they  think  their  television  service  is  an  essential  item  and  they  couldn’t  possibly  afford  any  increase  in  rates.  Hundreds  more  have  argued  against  extending  the  sales  tax  to  soda,  candy  and  bottled  water,  and  major  lobbying  groups  have  spent  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars  opposing  the  initiative. Opponents  of  both  of  taxes  have  lost  touch  with  what  â€œessentialâ€?  needs  are  and  what  are,  or  should  be,  â€œstate  priorities.â€?  Take  the  proposed  5  percent  excise  tax  on  satellite  television  compa-­ nies,  such  as  Dish  Network  and  DirecTV.  The  tax  would  raise  about  $5  million  annually  and  would  affect  more  than  100,000  Vermonters. One  might  argue  some  access  to  television  is  essential,  if  you  can’t  read  and  aren’t  connected  to  the  Internet.  Short  of  that,  however,  most  of  the  time  spent  in  the  front  of  the  TV  (with  the  exception  of  a  few  news  programs  and  educational  programs)  is  anything  but  essential.  It’s  enter-­ tainment,  and  not  high  art  at  that.  State  senators  should  counter  with  a  campaign  in  which  they  cham-­ pion  the  tax,  along  with  the  motto:  Turn  it  off,  read  more,  play  more,  be  happier.  Besides,  it’s  also  equitable:  while  the  state  already  places  the  6  percent  sales  tax  on  satellite  and  cable  television,  the  state  also  places  an  infrastructure  state  on  cable  television.  The  excise  tax  on  satellite  service  would  be  on  the  company,  not  on  the  consumer,  and  puts  the  tax  burden  of  satellite  service  closer  to  a  par  with  cable.  Satellite  companies  have  been  rallying  customers  to  oppose  the  tax  out  of  the  fear  of  consequent  rate  increases,  but  it  also  could  well  be  a  false  plea  as  competition  among  providers  will  likely  keep  cost  increases  in  check. As  for  extending  the  sales  tax  to  soda,  candy  and  bottled  water  â€”  a  measure  that  would  raise  about  $11  million,  $7.2  million  for  the  general  fund  and  $3.3  million  for  the  education  fund  â€”  this,  too,  makes  common  sense,  at  least  for  soda  and  candy.  The  idea  is  to  discourage  the  consump-­ tion  of  products  that  cause  one  of  the  state’s  and  nation’s  most  serious  health  crises:  obesity.  Like  taxing  tobacco,  this  is  good  public  policy. That  it  may  drive  a  few  dollars  across  the  border  into  New  Hampshire  is  a  concern,  but  that’s  a  short-­lived  phenomenon  that  won’t  dictate  con-­ sumer  habits  for  long.  Driving  30  more  miles  round-­trip  to  cross  the  border  and  back  to  save  a  few  dollars  may  sound  like  a  compelling  idea  for  a  few  weeks,  but  after  a  few  trips  the  extra  time  spent,  added  gas  and  minimal  savings  just  won’t  be  a  compelling  reason  to  avoid  a  few  dollars  in  taxes  over  the  long  haul. In  short,  the  public  policy  goal  is  more  important  than  the  few  dollars  that  are  apt  to  be  lost  â€”  and  our  bet  is  even  that  would  be  temporary.  As  the  Legislature  makes  last-­minute  adjustments  to  the  budget  and  nears  adjournment,  legislators  and  the  governor  must  hone  in  on  just  what  is  essential  to  Vermonters’  lives  and  what  are  the  most  pressing  state  priorities.  If  job  growth  is  a  state  priority,  then  increasing  taxes  on  wages  or  health  care  programs  works  counter  to  that  goal  (such  as  the  tiered  employer  assessment  provision  under  H.489.)  If  the  consumption  of  sugary  drinks  and  candy,  and  a  slight  tax  on  satellite  TV,  can  provide  UHYHQXH WKDW KHOSV WKH VWDWH DIIRUG SURJUDPV WKDW DUH PRUH EHQHÂżFLDO WKDQ these  taxes  are  detrimental,  then  it’s  fairly  easy  to  determine  which  is  the  greater  priority,  what  is  essential  and  what  isn’t. What  legislators  and  the  governor  can’t  do  is  be  swayed  by  lobbyists  and  niche  groups  who  are  protecting  their  turf.  Everything  is  â€œessen-­ tialâ€?  to  someone.  It’s  the  legislators’  and  the  governor’s  job  to  determine  what’s  in  the  best  interest  of  the  collective  whole,  and  not  heel  to  the  hue  and  cry  of  special  interests.

After  camping  overnight  near  their  bateaux  on  the  beach  at  the  tip  of  the  Crown  Point  peninsula,  the  â€œFrench  soldiersâ€?  will  depart  at  approximately  8  a.m.  on  Saturday  to  complete  their  lake  travel  and  reach  Carillon  (the  French  fort  that  preceded  Ticondero-­ ga,  a  British  fort  in  the  same  spot)  at  about  2  p.m.,  when  they  will  re-­enact  arriving  to  resume  construction  of  the  fort  in  springtime  1756,  a  few  months  after  building  began  there  in  1755. At  the  end  of  the  month  of  May,  a  one-­of-­a-­kind  walking  tour  will  be  offered  at  Crown  Point  State  Historic  Site.  On  Saturday,  May  30,  from  1  until  3:30  p.m.,  a  three-­mile  extend-­ ed  public  outdoor  tour  of  the  his-­ toric  property  will  take  place,  free  of  charge.  Led  by  Crown  Point  archaeol-­ ogy  expert  Paul  R.  Huey,  Ph.D,  who  will  be  accompanied  by  historian  Tom  Hughes,  this  is  a  unique  opportunity  to  walk  the  grounds  while  hearing  in-­ sights  from  a  career  archaeologist  who  has  been  researching  Crown  Point  for  60  years. “My  interest  in  archaeology  was  ¿UVW SLTXHG DW &URZQ 3RLQW LQ when  I  learned  about  the  excavations  by  Louis  F.  Ismay  and  his  students  in  the  18th-­century  village  site  there,â€?  Huey  said.

PETS IN NEED HOMEWARD BOUND

Addison County’s Humane Society I’m  Boo,  an  affectionate  17  year  old!  I  really  don’t  look  or  act  it  though,  I  have  a  very  young  spirit  and  am  in  good  health. I’m  very  outgoing  and  get  along  with  everyone  -­  cats,  dogs  and  children  of  all  ages.  I  also  like  to  play  every  now  and  then.  Age  won’t  stop  me  from  having  fun! If  you‘re  looking  for  a  fun,  social,  lovable  guy  â€“  a  real  family  cat,  come  meet  me  today!

Pet Pages These  dogs  love  laid-­back  living (MS)  â€”  Choosing  a  pet  isn’t  about  choosing  the  breed  that  is  the  â€œinâ€?  pet  of  the  moment.  Instead,  the  right  pet  should  be  a  companion  who  will  be  comfortable  in  your  household  and  amenable  to  your  lifestyle.  While  there  are  plenty  of  people  who  envision  romps  in  the Â

park  with  their  pooches  or  an  active  game  of  fetch,  some  people  would  prefer  a  dog  that  is  happier  lounging  on  the  sofa. While  some  dogs  may  be  boister-­ ous  animals  full  of  unending  stores  of  energy,  there  are  plenty  of  placid  EUHHGV WKDW ¿ W EHWWHU LQ D ODLG EDFN

environment.  Dogs  with  low  energy  still  exercise,  but  this  exercise  may  mean  a  short  walk  or  some  time  spent  playing  indoors. Here  are  some  breeds  that  require  less  daily  energy  expenditure  and  may  be  happy  spending  most  of  their  time  lounging  around.

Meet  Java!  She’s  a  spunky  9  year  old  Jack  Russell  Terrier  who  came  to  Homeward  Bound  in  February  after  being  surrendered  by  her  owners.  Java  does  well  with  children,  but  will  need  to  be  the  only  furry  friend  in  her  new  home.  She  enjoys  going  for  walks  and  playing  fetch  with  a  tennis  ball.  When  she’s  not  being  active,  Java  likes  to  curl  up  on  your  lap  and  snuggle  with  you  for  hours. Â

Placid  and  slow-­moving,  basset  hounds  are  direct  descen-­ dants  of  bloodhounds.  They  were  raised  to  hunt  vari-­ ous  game,  but  they  can  be  good  with  children  and  other  DQLPDOV 7KHLU VWXEERUQQHVV FDQ PDNH WKHP GLI¿ FXOW WR train.  However,  they  are  food-­motivated,  and  this  could  be  their  inspiration  to  learn.

Bulldog Meet  Mickey!  Mickey  is  a  handsome  13  year  old  who  recently  came  to  Homeward  Bound.  He  was  surrendered  by  his  owner  as  he  became  very  sick  and  could  no  longer  care  for  him.  Mickey  is  a  very  affectionate  guy.  He  FDQ EH D OLWWOH VK\ DW ¿ UVW EXW LW GRHVQœW take  much  for  him  to  warm  up  to  you.  He  loves  to  be  rubbed  under  his  chin  and  gets  along  great  with  other  cats.

The  English  bulldog  is  a  medium-­sized,  compact  dog  with  a  pushed-­in  face  full  of  skin  folds.  It  is  one  of  the  most  gentle  dogs  and  is  generally  well  behaved  with  children  and  other  household  pets.  Because  of  their  short  muzzles,  they  may  have  breathing  problems  and  intoler-­ ance  to  extreme  temperatures.

I’m  Missy!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  in  May  2014  after  my  loving  owner  passed  away.  I  was  a  little  overweight  when  I  got  here  but  the  staff  has  been  taking  good  care  of  me  and  I’ve  been  able  to  lose  7  pounds  and  feel  better  than  ever! I’m  a  very  playful,  loving  girl;  mice  toys  and  wand  toys  are  my  favorites!  I  also  get  along  well  with  other  cats.  Come  meet  me  today,  you’ll  fall  in  love!

Said  to  be  a  cross  between  the  mastiff  and  the  bulldog,  a  bull-­ mastiff  is  an  excellent  choice  for  a  guard  dog.  Bullmastiffs  crave  human  attention  and  like  to  be  indoors.

Clumber  Spaniel  One  of  the  least  known  members  of  the  spaniel  group,  this  heavy-­boned  pooch  will  romp  outside  but  is  generally  inactive  indoors.  Keep  in  mind  that  they  tend  to  shed  and  drool.

Meet  Roxy!  Roxy  is  16  years  old  and  arrived  at  Homeward  Bound  with  her  housemate,  Boo,  after  they  were  surrendered  by  their  owners.  Roxy  is  more  laid  back  than  Boo.  She  loves  meeting  new  people,  you  just  have  to  go  slow  with  her.  Once  she  warms  up  to  you,  she’s  a  loving  lap  cat.  She’s  also  good  with  other  animals  and  children,  but  would  do  best  in  a  low-­key  home  with  not  a  lot  going  on. Â

 Suki!  I’m  a  handsome  8  ½  year  old  I’m  Siamese  who’s  a  real  â€œpeople  person!â€?  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  in  December  2013  after  being  surrendered  by  my  owner. I  love  to  tell  stories;  I  always  have  so  much  to  say!  I  love  to  snuggle  and  would  love  to  have  a  couch  to  snuggle  with  you  on!  I’m  IURQW GHFODZHG EXW FRXOG EHQHÂż W IURP EHLQJ an  indoor/outdoor  cat  as  I  sometimes  have  trouble  using  my  litter  box.

Homeward  Bound Great  Dane This  breed  is  known  for  its  giant  size  and  gentle  personality.  Danes  take  to  training  well  and  are  fairly  low-­maintenance.  They  need  less  exercise  than  their  size  might  indicate.  One  thing  to  note  is  that  their  large  size  contributes  to  their  shorter  life  expectancy.

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abe Union High School

Otter Valley Union High School proudly presents Margaret “Meganâ€? Santell as its Student of the Week. Megan lives in Brandon with her parents Roberto and Ann Santell. Her sister Alaina is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, her sister Shannon is a student at Keiser University in Miami and her younger sister Mariah is a freshman at O.V.U.H.S. Megan has maintained a top-10 GPA throughout high school and is currently ranked number nine in her class. It is no surprise that she is enrolled in AP Biology, AP Literature, and AP Calculus, and has taken the advanced language Spanish 4 class. She was awarded the Elmira Key Scholarship in grade 11 and the Academic All-State Award in grades 9 and 10 at Lee County High School in Sanford, N.C. She was inducted into the National Honor Society last year. Beyond the classroom, Megan, who also answers to the moniker “A$AP,â€? has played varsity softball all four years of high school and LQ JUDGH VKH ZDV WKH Ă€ HOG KRFNH\ PDQDJHU ,Q JUDGHV DQG Margaret  â€œMeganâ€?  Santell she participated in varsity cheerleading. O.V.U.H.S Outside of school, she enjoys practicing softball, cooking and taking walks through Brandon. She also enjoys playing with her dogs Duchess and Diesel. She works as a front-end associate at the Rite Aid in Brandon and has also interned at the Special Waste Department of Casella Waste Systems Inc. Megan says, “I have learned during my high school career that instead of trying to be someone that you’re not, be you, and be the best you that you can possibly be.â€? After high school, Megan plans to attend Castleton State College in the fall and major in Business. From there she plans on continuing with her master’s in Healthcare Administration. Her teacher and softball coach Ms. Candon has nice things to say about Megan. She says, “Megan brought with her solid fundamental skills and a strong knowledge of the game. She was an integral part of our championship season.

He says, “Megan is always happy, smart, very kind and generous to others.â€? Everyone at Otter Valley wishes Megan Santell the very best in her future.

Mount Abraham Union High School is pleased to name Jennifer Gordon as its Student of the Week. Jen is the daughter of Matt and Lora Gordon, and she lives in Bristol with her mom. She has three siblings, Matthew, Brittany and Alyssa. Every semester of high school, Jen has achieved either highest or high honors. For the past four years she has achieved academic excellence. She has won awards including excellence in global citizenship, collaboration and problem solving. She was inducted into the National Honor Society in her junior year and was voted secretary of the group. -HQ KDV EHHQ RQ WKH EDVNHWEDOO DQG Ă€ HOG KRFNH\ WHDPV DOVR participated in the Fall Musicals in grades 7 through 12. She works for the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union Expanded Learning Program at Bristol Elementary in the Farm to School workshop. She volunteers at the Three Day Stampede, the local food shelf, and has done other volunteer work through the National Honor Jennifer  Gordon Society. M.A.U.H.S.  Jen enjoys being outdoors. She like to hike and cross country ski. Most of her time outside of school is spent with family or friends; she surrounds herself with people who make her happy. She’s always playing basketball, whether it be AAU or Summer League ball. She enjoys being with the kids at Bristol Elementary and helping her community in any way she can. Jen says high school has taught her how to balance work and play. She says, “High school has taught me all about different kinds of people, and how to interact with them. Mt. Abraham has such a strong sense of community and support that it also taught me to always help out a friend or neighbor when ever anyone is in need.â€? After Mount Abe, Jen will attend Ithaca College to major in athletic training. She plans to get her master’s in athletic training, as well as a doctorate in physical therapy with a discipline in athletics. School counselor Mr. Kamman is not surprised to see Jen recognized as student of the week. He says, “Jen is a warm, friendly and engaging young woman who displays leadership and resilience. She is a natural leader who earns the respect of KHU IULHQGV DQG WHDPPDWHV +HU HOHFWLRQ DV D FDSWDLQ RI KHU Ă€ HOG KRFNH\ WHDP WKLV \HDU LV D FOHDU H[DPSOH RI WKDW OHDGHUVKLS Âľ All in the Mt.
