who  have  declined  to  sign  deals. “We  are  really  close  to  having  agreements  with  everyone,�  Vermont  Gas  CEO  Don  Rendall  said  during  a  phone  interview.  “We’re  still  talking  to  most  of  the  remaining  four.�

of  $134  million  on  the  amount  it  will  seek  from  its  ratepayers  for  expenses  related  to  the  pipeline.  That  amount  is  $20  million  less  than  the  $154  million  the  company  had  forecasted  for  the  project  back  in  December  2014.

Midd  seeks  study  to end  Creek  Rd.  woes Washouts  continue  along  waterway By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  The  town  of  Middlebury  is  ordering  a  study  to  determine  ways  of  preventing  fur-­ ther  erosion  of  Creek  Road,  which  was  closed  this  past  spring  after  some  large  sections  of  the  roadway  surrendered  to  the  forces  of  the  adja-­ cent  Otter  Creek.

Middlebury  is  seeking  $15,000  in  funding  through  the  Addison  Coun-­ ty  Regional  Planning  Commission  WR ¿QDQFH WKH VWXG\ WR EH SHU-­ formed  by  a  consultant  who  would  identify  low-­cost,  sustainable  alter-­ natives  for  stabilizing  the  riverbank  bordering  Creek  Road,  and  explore  other  strategies  for  reopening  the  road  —  possibly  through  relocating  D SRUWLRQ RI LW RU OLPLWLQJ WUDI¿F WR one  way.  The  consultant  will  also  need  to  provide  cost  estimates  for  these  proposals.

The  call  for  the  study  comes  on  the  heels  of  another  recent,  major  washout  along  a  140-­foot  stretch  of  Creek  Road,  at  a  point  around  a  half-­mile  south  of  its  intersec-­ tion  with  Court  Street  (Route  7).  A  sizable  chunk  of  riverbank  and  DURXQG ¿YH IHHW RI WKH VRXWKERXQG

lane  has  slipped  around  six  feet  into  the  creek  at  that  spot.  The  road  is  still  passable  at  the  location.  But  the  road  remains  closed  to  through  traf-­ ¿F E\ D JDWH DW DSSUR[LPDWHO\ miles  south  of  its  intersection  with  Court  Street.

The  erosion  affects  four  Creek  5RDG KRPHV DQG FURS ÂżHOGV DF-­ cessed  by  three  farms.  Some  drivers  use  the  road  as  a  bypass  for  Route  7  en  route  to  Shard  Villa  Road  and  Salisbury.  Others  use  it  to  access  ¿VKLQJ KROHV DQG IRU ZDONLQJ MRJ-­ ging  and/or  biking. “There  are  tons  of  people  who  use  that  road  for  recreating,â€?  said  Select-­ woman  Susan  Shashok,  who  chairs  Middlebury’s  public  works  commit-­ tee.  “If  money  wasn’t  an  option,  I  think  people  would  like  to  keep  the  road  open.â€?

But  Shashok  and  her  colleagues  know  that  money  is  a  huge  factor,  and  Creek  Road  has  been  gobbling  up  a  lot  of  the  limited  resources  Middlebury  puts  into  its  budgets  each  year  for  its  18  miles  of  grav-­ eled  roads.

A  rough  estimate  for  patching  the  latest  Creek  Road  washout  has  been  placed  at  around  $30,000,  ac-­ cording  to  Shashok.  The  town  has Â

It’s  a  solution  that  might  cause  some  other  headaches  in  the  future,  Werner  fears. “If  you  (fortify)  one  side  of  the  bank,  what  does  that  do  to  the  other  side  of  the  bank?�  he  said.  “These  projects  usually  take  years  to  show  (See  Creek  Road,  Page  3)

Editorial The  wrong-­headed  appeal  to  using  force  on  ISIS It  is  no  secret  that  using  military  force  against  the  Islamic  State,  or  ISIS,  in  the  wake  of  the  Paris  attacks  holds  a  prevailing  appeal  to  a  majority  of  Republicans.  They  like  a  president  who  takes  charge  of  the  situation,  hits  them  with  “shock  and  aweâ€?  and  says,  in  effect,  “Here,  take  that,  and  don’t  do  it  again  or  we’ll  hit  you  harder.â€?  The  proof  is  just  an  administration  away.  George  W.  Bush  responded  to  the  9-­11  attacks  just  as  his  enemies  had  hoped.  Bush’s  invasion  of  Iraq,  LQ SDUWLFXODU ZDV WKH GHVWDELOL]LQJ VSDUN WKDW OLW WKH 0LGGOH (DVW RQ ÂżUH his  most  wanted  terrorists  hit  list  (with  Osama  bin  Laden  at  the  top  of  that  list)  and  his  premature  “mission  accomplishedâ€?  statement  on  an  aircraft  carrier  were  the  height  of  Bush’s  folly.  The  result  was  predictable:  Bush’s  over-­reach  squandered  the  worldwide  support  of  the  U.S.  in  the  aftermath  RI +H OHIW RIÂżFH ZLWK $PHULFD GHHSO\ HQPHVKHG LQ WZR FRVWO\ ZDUV scorned  throughout  the  world,  in  an  economic  disaster  as  the  nation  entered  the  Great  Recession,  and  in  a  foreign  policy  mess.  How  do  so  many  Repub-­ lican  candidates  for  president,  or  GOP  voters,  not  remember  such  recent  history?

Yet,  calls  from  Republican  presidential  candidates  to  have  American  troops  land  in  Syria  and  rout  the  Islamic  State  are  again  part  of  their  reck-­ less  rhetoric.

What  is  understandable,  however,  is  the  desire  for  President  Obama  to  be  less  dismissive  of  American’s  need  for  a  sharper  response  to  the  attack  on  Paris  and  threats  to  the  Western  world.  Rather  than  be  reserved  and  calm  in  the  face  of  terror,  he  should  use  his  rhetorical  skills  to  more  fully  explain  his  resolve  and  spot-­on  thinking.

He  is  not  adjusting  his  course  against  the  Islamic  State’s  terrorist  tactics,  he  should  emphasize,  because  it  would  fuel  the  problem,  not  solve  it.  He  should  explain  the  religious  goals  of  the  extremists  so  that  the  American  public  understands  his  bolder  game  plan.  He  should  explain  how  America’s  open-­arms  to  refugees  of  war,  especially  of  Muslim  victims  even  in  the  wake  of  the  Paris  attacks,  makes  America  stronger  in  the  eyes  of  the  world,  and  undermines  the  propaganda  of  ISIS  in  their  attacks  on  the  West.  He  should  explain  how  putting  boots  on  the  ground  in  Syria  would  be  the  worst  thing  to  do,  as  many  political  analysts  also  agree. “An  expanded  U.S.-­led  military  operation  would  play  directly  into  narratives  favored  by  ISIS  and  like-­minded  radicals  about  Middle  East-­ ern  Muslims  being  the  targets  of  forceful  domination  by  a  predominantly  Christian  West,â€?  explains  Paul  R.  Pillar,  a  28-­year  veteran  of  the  CIA  from  1977-­2005,  and  currently  a  non-­resident  senior  fellow  at  Georgetown  Uni-­ versity’s  Center  for  Security  Studies.  “(It  also)  expands  the  radicalizing  re-­ sentment,  and  the  resulting  recruiting  ability  of  ISIS  and  extremist  groups,  from  collateral  damage  from  the  military  operations.  This  would  be  a  result  not  only  of  a  ground  war  but  also  a  more  indiscriminate  air  war.  It  certainly  would  be  a  result  of  following  Ted  Cruz’s  foolish  advice  that  we  should  just  not  care  about  collateral  damage‌. “President  Obama  spoke  trenchant  truths  at  his  press  conference  in  Turkey  on  Monday.  In  response  to  a  series  of  questions  that  were  all  just  re-­ worded  versions  of  ‘Gee,  those  Paris  attacks  were  really  awful  —  don’t  you  think  you  should  do  something  much  different  from  what  you  have  been  doing  so  far  about  ISIS?’  Mr.  Obama  demonstrated  much  better  understand-­ ing  of  the  challenges  involved  than  his  ‘do  something  —  anything’  critics.  In  describing  the  nature  of  the  terrorist  threat  we  face,  President  Obama  explained,  ‘It’s  not  their  sophistication  or  the  particular  weapon  that  they  possess,  but  it  is  the  ideology  that  they  carry  with  them  and  their  willing-­ ness  to  die.’â€?

Pillar  then  drew  a  comparison  to  the  war  in  Iraq  and  the  mistakes  made  there:  “One  of  the  oft-­voiced,  but  invalid  comments  about  the  previous  administration’s  signature  military  adventure  is  that  the  escalation,  several  years  into  the  Iraq  War,  that  became  known  as  the  ‘surge’  was  an  ‘act  of  courage’  on  the  part  of  President  George  W.  Bush.  It  was  nothing  of  the  sort.  It  was  a  way  to  tamp  down  temporarily  the  surging  violence  in  Iraq  and  to  hold  it  at  a  less  egregious  level  long  enough  to  get  out  of  Washington  and  bequeath  the  remaining  mess,  including  all  the  still-­unresolved  political  problems  in  Iraq,  to  the  next  administration.  “President  Obama,  with  just  14  months  left  in  his  presidency  and  getting  DOO WKH SROLWLFDO Ă€DN KH LV JHWWLQJ DERXW ,6,6 PXVW IHHO WHPSWHG WR GR WKH VDPH sort  of  thing  now  in  Syria.  Think  about  it:  if  he  did  so  he  would  not  only  take  wind  out  of  the  sails  of  hawkish  critics,  but  also  be  able  to  claim  a  place  in  history  as  the  leader  who  smashed  ISIS.  Of  course,  the  terrorism  and  the  chaos  would  still  be  there,  as  would  an  even  messier  and  more  complicated  situation  than  before  in  Syria.  But  that  would  all  be  a  problem  for  the  next  administration.  We  should  be  glad  that  President  Obama  is  showing  enough  responsibility  and  true  leadership  not  to  do  anything  like  that.â€?

Let’s  hope  the  American  voter  is  smart  enough  to  understand  which  ap-­ proach  has  the  better  chance  of  long-­term  stability,  if  not  peace.

Sanders’  essay  contest  engages  students WASHINGTON  —  U.S.  Sen.  Bernie  Sanders,  I-­Vt.,  has  launched  his  sixth  annual  State  of  the  Union  essay  contest,  calling  upon  Vermont’s  high  school  students  to  address  what  they  view  as  the  major  issues  facing  the  United  States.

The  U.S.  Constitution  calls  for  the  president  to  “give  to  the  Congress  information  of  the  State  of  the  Union,  and  recommend  to  their  consideration  such  measures  as  he  shall  judge  neces-­ sary  and  expedient.â€?  As  President  Barack  Obama  prepares  to  deliver  his  State  of  the  Union  speech  to  a  joint  session  of  Congress  in  January,  Sanders  is  again  asking  Vermont’s  high  school  students  to  consider  writ-­ ing  an  essay  of  250  to  500  words Â

Charlotte park-­and-­ride set to close CHARLOTTE — The Vermont Agency of Transportation an-­ nounced last week that it will close the state-­operated Charlotte park-­ and-­ride lot located on Ferry Road at the train station effective Nov. 30.

The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission, in coordina-­ tion with the town of Charlotte and the participation of other interested parties including regional public

transit providers, is currently study-­ ing potential new park and ride loca-­ tions more favorably situated to bet-­ ter serve the traveling public.

For a map of alternative park and ride locations, go online to www.par-­ kandrides.vermont.gov. It lists one state-­operated park-­and-­ride lot in Ad-­ dison County — a 77-­space lot near the intersection of Route 7 and 22A in Ferrisburgh — and smaller mu-­ nicipal park-­and-­ride lots in Starks-­ boro, Waltham, New Haven, Bridport, Cornwall, Leicester and Hancock, plus a lot on Route 7 in Brandon.

This means one simple thing: early detection and improved accuracy.

“Women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year and should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health”

– American College of Radiology

FAQS Q: How Does 3D technology work?

A: By capturing multiple slices of the breast from several angles, creating a layered 3D image resulting in a more accurate diagnosis.

Q: Is there additional compression?

A: No additional compression is required.

Q: Why do hospitals and doctors now recommend 3D mammography?

A: This technology is clinically proven, and it’s the most accurate mammogram available.

It is the biggest breakthrough in breast cancer detection in 30 years.

Q: Will I be exposed to more radiation?

A: Porter uses the lowest dose available for 3D mammography. Very little x-ray dose is used during the 3D mammography exam, just about the same as a standard 2D mammogram, @MC KNVDQ SG@M @ SQ@CHSHNM@K Ű KL L@LLNFQ@L The total patient dose is well within the FDA safety standards for mammography.

Porter Hospital Now Accepting Self-Requested Appointments for Screening Mammograms The Porter Hospital Radiology Department is now accepting “self-requesting appointments” for screening mammograms from area women.

Women may now call the Radiology Department directly at 388-4757 to schedule their screening mammogram. The Radiology Department representative will obtain from women who call the name of their primary care provider so that the results can be sent to the appropriate provider.

The Radiology Department staff can also assist women who need to select a local primary care provider (if they do not currently have one) so that they can do so.

It is our hope that the combination of this new scheduling option, combined with our newest stateNE SGD @QS # L@LLNFQ@OGX TMHS VHKK AD RHFMHŰ B@MS RSDOR ENQV@QC SN DMG@MBD SGDRD RDQUHBDR ENQ NTQ community.

Pet Pages Brandon  reports  successful  program  to  control  feral  cats BRANDON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;   Feral  cats.   Their  lives  are  a  struggle  living  on  the  streets  or  in  the  meadows  and  woods  in  your  town.  While  they  are  often  predators  to  birds  and  small  animals,  they  themselves  are  prey  to  animals,  birds,  and  even  humans.   I  have  been  an  active  member  of  the  TNR  community  for  the  past  ten  years  in  Brandon.   TNR  is  an  acro-­ nym  for  Trap,  Neuter  and  Return.   In  other  words,  feral  cats  are  trapped  from  the  wild,  neutered  in  a  safe  clinic  and  returned  to  the  wild  where  they  were  found.  I  have  seen  the  number  of  un-­ owned  outdoor  cats  drop  drastically  in  my  town  with  thanks  to  this  pro-­ gram.   Prior  to  2005  Brandon  was  trap-­ ping  and  euthanizing  unowned/feral  cats  to  control  that  population.   This  means  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;cat  controlâ&#x20AC;?  was  never  ending  and  expensive.   The  town  was  very  open  to  trying  TNR. 7KH Âż UVW WKUHH \HDUV RI %UDQGRQÂśV Feral  Cat  Assistance  Program  were  busy.   There  were  cats  to  be  spayed  and  neutered  as  well  as  given  a  ra-­ bies  shot  and  their  left  ear  tipped  one-­quarter  of  an  inch,  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  an  inter-­ national  sign  of  an  unowned  neu-­ tered  cat.  Kittens  were  socialized, Â

then  neutered  and  placed  for  adop-­ tion  through  the  Rutland  County  Hu-­ mane  Society.   Two  years  ago  no  cats  went  through  our  program,  in  2014  there  was  one  colony  of  eight  cats,  and  thus  far  in  2015  there  have  been  six  cats  trapped,  a  mom  and  her  kittens.   All  were  able  to  be  socialized  and  placed  for  adoption.

TNR  has  proven  to  me  to  be  an  effective  way  to  control  the  number  of  feral/wild  and  unowned  cats.   The  other  ingredients  in  the  recipe  to  fur-­ ther  decrease  the  number  of  cats  liv-­ ing  outdoors  include:  (a)  education  about  the  hazards  of  cats  living  out-­ doors  (outdoor  cats  live  half  as  long  as  indoor  only  cats),  and  (b)  access  to  low  cost  spay/neuter  services.   961,3 SURYLGHV FHUWLÂż FDWHV IRU WKLV surgery  at  a  cost  of  just  $27  to  those  who  qualify.

Tip  of  the  Week

Happy  Thanksgiving  from  Homeward  Bound!  As  you  look  forward  to  feasting  this  week,  please  remember  that  human  food  can  be  dangerous  to  our  four-­legged  friends.  And  take  care  with  the  turkey  carcass  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  whether  it  is  on  the  counter  or  in  the  trash  it  is  a  temptation  to  dogs  and  cats,  and  the  bones  are  particularly  risky.

Bobcat populations are rising in Vt. so watch for tracks in snow By  MEGHAN  MCCARTHY  MCPHAUL The  distinctively  feline  tracks  through  the  snow  in  our  woods  last  winter  intrigued  me.  They  would  follow  the  narrow  ski  trail  a  ways,  then  meander  into  the  trees  or,  sometimes,  seem  to  disappear  altogether.  There  was  no  way,  I  thought,  a  house  kitty  was  so  far  from  home  in  the  deep  of  winter,  and  besides,  these  tracks  were  a  bit  large  for  your  average  cat.

Then  it  hit  me:  These  were  bobcat  tracks.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  looking  for  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;phan-­ tom  of  the  forestâ&#x20AC;?  ever  since  that  revelation.  While  I  havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  laid  eyes  on  one,  more  and  more  peo-­ ple  around  the  Northeast  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  from  city  suburbs  to  rural  woodlots  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  have  been  seeing  these  elusive  cats  lately.  The  bobcat  population  in  the  Northeast  peaked  in  the  early-­to-­mid-­1900s,  as  farmland  gave  way  to  scrubby  forest  regenera-­ tion.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  coincidence  that  white-­tailed  deer  and  cottontail  rabbit  populations  also  peaked  at  that  time.  As  the  forest  grew  back,  popula-­ tions  of  all  three  animal  species  declined.  An  unrestricted  harvest  on  these  wily  felines  (both  Vermont  and  New  Hampshire  paid  bounties  on  bobcats  until  the  early  1970s)  and  harsh  weather  cycles  also  took  a  toll.  Plus,  bobcats  VWUXJJOHG WR FRPSHWH ZLWK ÂżVKHUV DQG FR\RWHV two  animal  species  that  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  exist  in  much  of  the  Northeast  40  years  ago.

New  Hampshire  Fish  and  Game  and  the  University  of  New  Hamp-­ shire  embarked  on  a  collaborative  long-­range  study  of  bobcat  habi-­ tat,  prey  use,  and  home  range  sizes  in  2009.  Fish  and  Game  estimates  that  1,400-­2,200  bobcats  now  live  in  New  Hampshire.

Bobcats  live  throughout  the  continental  United  States  and  from  southern  Canada  to  Mexico.  A  femaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  home  range  is  about  12  square  miles,  and  a  maleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  can  stretch  to  36 Â

Outside Story

square  miles.  But  bobcats  will  sometimes  trav-­ el  much  greater  distances,  likely  seeking  new  territory  or  better  hunting.  One  bobcat  collared  near  Lake  Winnipesaukee  in  New  Hampshire  traveled  north  to  Canada  and  over  to  Maine.  Their  tawny  coats  and  spotted  underbellies  SURYLGH FDPRXĂ&#x20AC;DJH LQ WKH VFUXEE\ IRUHVWV DQG rocky  outcrops  they  favor.  Bobcats  typically  ZHLJK EHWZHHQ DQG SRXQGV DOWKRXJK ODUJHU PDOHV FDQ WLS WKH VFDOHV QHDU SRXQGV Like  their  distant  cousin,  the  housecat,  bobcats  are  adept  tree  climbers.  They  main-­ tain  their  retractable  claws  by  using  trees  as  scratching  posts.  And  although  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  not  often  heard  by  humans,  bobcats  make  a  vari-­

ety  of  noises  from  mewing  and  hissing  to  full-­ throated  growls.  Mating  season  in  our  region  runs  from  February  into  March,  with  kittens  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  usually  a  litter  of  two  to  three  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  born  in  late  April  and  May.  Anyone  who  has  ever  watched  a  housecat  VWDON LWV SUH\ FDQ HQYLVLRQ WKH EREFDWÂśV ÂżHUFH hunting  ability.  While  their  preferred  menu  includes  small  mammals,  most  notably  cot-­ tontail  rabbits  and  snowshoe  hare,  bobcats  are,  like  many  predators,  opportunistic.  Us-­ ing  keen  eyesight  and  hearing,  they  will  hunt  birds,  snakes,  muskrat,  porcupines,  turkeys  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  as  well  as  backyard  chickens  and  squir-­ rels  poaching  birdfeeders.  Bobcats  will  hunt  both  fawns  and  adult  deer,  hanging  on  by  the  claws  and  biting  at  a  deerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  neck  until  it  suc-­ cumbs.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  a  top  predator.  Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  made  to  kill,â&#x20AC;?  said  Bernier.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  what  they  need  to  do  to  survive.â&#x20AC;?

It  seems  they  are  surviving  quite  well,  these  phantoms  of  the  forest,  giving  me  hope  that  someday  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  catch  a  glimpse  of  a  spotted  wild-­ cat  moving  through  the  trees.

Vermont Agency of Natural Resources announces new, streamlined website MONTPELIER — The Agency of Natural Resources has announced the launch of its new website, anr. vermont.gov.

Aimed to better serve the public, the new site features intuitive links to existing programs within each of the agency’s three departments in addition to expanded content on available maps, planning tools, permitting requirements, grants, loans and internship opportuni-­ ties. Working in close communi-­ cation with the three departments — Environmental Conservation;; Fish & Wildlife;; and Forests, Parks DQG 5HFUHDWLRQ ² DQG WKH RI¿ FHV

of Planning and General Counsel, the ANR web team has created a central hub where visitors can expect complete and current infor-­ mation about state-­funded environ-­ mental initiatives.

In an effort to streamline and simplify available information, the new website prioritizes the most frequently asked questions that the ANR receives while keeping other keywords searchable and accessible.

The website also features updates to relevant news items, public meet-­ ings and outdoor event notices, encouraging public involvement and promoting avenues for feedback.

Seasonal images and clear contact links enable visitors to quickly reach an Agency employee if they have questions not addressed on-­line.

“The Agency of Natural Resources needs public support to guide its mission to oversee and manage Vermont’s natural envi-­ ronment,” said Natural Resources Secretary Deb Markowitz. “By communicating the good work of our programs, providing reliable data and guiding public involve-­ ment, our new website has become one of the many ways we promote transparent government and open communication.”
