45-­cent  gas  tax?  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  nuts If  several  Vermont  environmental  groups  and  key  policy  makers  have  their  way,  the  Legislature  will  impose  a  tax  on  gasoline  and  heating  fuels,  raising  the  price  of  a  gallon  of  gas  an  estimated  45  cents.  This  will  be  Ver-­ montâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  way  to  help  cut  greenhouse  gas  emissions.  They  are  delusional.

Vermonters  pay  considerably  above  the  national  average  for  their  gasoline  and  heating  oils.  They  are  only  now  beginning  to  enjoy  a  little  extra  cash  in  their  pockets  because  the  prices  of  oil  has  dropped  so  precipitously.  And  the  RQHV EHQHÂżWWLQJ WKH PRVW DUH WKH ORZ DQG PLGGOH LQFRPH ZDJH HDUQHUV Just  when  the  economic  pressures  are  beginning  to  ease  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  thanks  to  lower  fuel  prices  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  the  savings  to  consumers  might  be  used  to  perk  up  the  economy,  there  is  a  concerted  effort  to  slap  a  45-­cent  tax  on  a  gallon  of  gas?  Did  the  votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  message  on  Election  Day  fall  on  deaf  ears?  Apparently.  It  will  not  happen.  If  it  does,  the  political  repercussions  for  those  behind  the  effort  will  be  swift  and  certain.  As  an  idea,  a  tax  on  carbon  is  an  old  one.  It  also  makes  sense.  The  more  something  costs,  the  less  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  used.  To  be  effective  in  addressing  global  cli-­ mate  change  we  must  reduce  our  usage  of  the  oil  and  gas  we  use  to  power  our  economy.  The  revenue  generated  can  then  be  used  for  the  research  and  GHYHORSPHQW QHFHVVDU\ WR LPSURYH WKH HIÂżFLHQFLHV RI UHQHZDEOH HQHUJ\ But  this  is  not  something  Vermont  can,  or  should  do  by  its  lonesome.  As  a  nation,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  defensible  proposal.  Even  as  a  region  it  would  be  worth  pursuing.  But  to  solidify  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  reputation  as  an  expensive  place  to  live  by  making  sure  everyone  also  knows  our  gas  prices  are  higher  than  anyone  elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  is  daft.  The  proponents  of  the  raised  tax  pull  the  same  political  tricks  everyone  else  uses  in  pushing  something  unpopular:  They  contend  it  will  create  jobs  and  that  the  revenue  will  be  used  to  reduce  taxes.

Voila.

Of  course  it  will.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  only  surprised  they  aimed  so  low.  If  slapping  an  extra  45  cents  on  every  gallon  of  gas  stimulates  the  economy  and  reduces  the  tax  burden  on  Vermonters,  then  think  what  a  buck-­a-­gallon  tax  would  do.  Why  stop  there?  But  it  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  work  that  way.  Never  has.  There  is  no  foolproof  way  to  make  sure  that  those  most  affected  are  held  harmless.  And  in  a  rural  state  like  Vermont,  where  there  is  a  little  public  transportation,  the  potential  harm  to  businesses  is  considerable.  And  that  affects  our  jobs.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  already  a  no  growth  state.  Why  would  we  add  to  our  challenges?  Is  that  the  message  these  advocacy  groups  heard  from  this  monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  voters,  that  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  under-­taxed  and  not  interested  in  economic  growth?  Or  did  they  have  their  press  conference  planned  far  in  advance  of  the  election,  and,  despite  the  disaster  that  unfolded,  decide  to  plow  forward  regardless?  Whatever  the  reason,  they  have  shown  themselves  to  be  completely  out  of  touch  with  the  average  Vermonter.  And  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  that  the  average  Vermonter  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  environmentally  sympathetic.  To  the  contrary,  most  Vermonters  embrace  the  need  for  a  cleaner,  healthier  planet.  Most  Vermonters  live  their  lives  in  accordance  with  those  beliefs.  But  they  are  also  smart  enough  to  know  what  works  and  what  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.  And  what  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  work  is  to  set  ourselves  apart  from  all  others  in  a  way  that  puts  us  at  an  economic  disadvantage.  There  are  ways  Vermont  can  distinguish  itself  on  the  energy  front.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  PAINT  PEELS  UP  from  a  boarded  window  in  Middlebury  last  week. argued  before  that  we  should  trumpet  Vermont  as  the  electric  state  and  that  we  should  broadcast  our  reputation  for  energy  innovation  far  and  wide.  We  have  the  ability.  And  that  would  strengthen  our  economy.  We  can  distinguish  ourselves  with  the  caliber  of  our  educational  system,  and  our  tourism  related  environs.  We  have  the  ability  to  lead  on  issues  related  to  the  worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  food  systems.

But  we  weaken  our  ability  to  do  these  things  when  we  lessen  our  ability  to  compete,  and  we  lessen  our  ability  to  compete  when  the  cost  to  live  here  rises  above  the  peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ability  to  pay.  And  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  where  we  are.

The  advocates  of  this  proposal  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  get  this.

The  governor  should  shut  down  this  idea  as  quickly  and  convincingly  as  he  can.  important  to  getting  the  drug  issue  Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  note:  The  following  By  Emerson  Lynn,  St.  Albans  Messenger letter  was  sent  to  Mount  Abraham  in  Bristol,  Addison  County,  and  the  U.S.  under  control.  Thank  you  very  Union  High  School  student  Abby  much.

A  suggestion  for  more  parking  downtown  would  be  to  construct  a  permanent  multilevel  garage  at  the  location  of  the  current  parking  lot  on  Mill  Street.

Pedestrian  access  to  the  second  level  could  be  a  street  level  bridge  off  of  College  Street  where  the Â

steps  are.  The  current  lot  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  get  much  use  probably  because  it  is  hard  to  get  to.  An  elevator  would  make  access  to  either  level  handicap-­accessible  and  convenient  to  downtown.

Letter  (Continued  from  Page  4) treatment  of  people  suffering  from  the  disease  of  addiction  to  help  them  get  them  off  and  stay  off  drugs.

The  elements  of  treatment  are: 1)  Medication-­assisted  treatment  (MAT).  This  treatment  involves  pre-­ scribing  drugs  (such  as  Suboxone)  that  block  the  brain  receptors  that  crave  opiates.  MAT  gives  those  suf-­ fering  from  the  disease  of  addiction  relief  from  that  craving,  and  puts  them  on  the  road  to  recover  their  lives.  2)  Counseling.  The  objective  is  to  address  the  reasons  why  getting  into  drugs  happened  and  to  help  the  patient  come  up  with  a  healthy  plan  for  their  future.

3)  Long-­term  recovery.  The  aim  here  is  to  help  people  stay  off  drugs  for  the  rest  of  their  lives.  Long-­term  recovery  includes  peer-­based  sup-­ port  groups,  jobs,  housing  and  more.

In  Addison  County  we  now  have  medication-­assisted  treatment  at  Bristol  Internal  Medicine  (802-­453-­ 7422).  The  number  of  doctors  treat-­ ing  and  the  number  of  addicts  being  treated  are  increasing  over  time.  Addicted  people  are  hoping  for  even  more  doctors  doing  MAT  to  reduce  the  waitlist.

Letters to  the  editor The  Addison  Independent  encourages  readers  to  write  letters  to  the  editor.  We  believe  a  newspaper  should  be  a  community  forum  for  people  to  debate  issues  of  the  day Because  we  believe  that  accountability  makes  for  responsible  debate,  we  will  print  signed  letters  only.  Be  sure  to  include  an  address  and  telephone  number,  too,  so  we  can  call  to  clear  up  any  questions.

If  you  have  something  to  say,  send  it  to:  Letters  to  the  Editor,  Addison  Independent,  58  Maple  St.,  Middlebury,  VT  05753.  Or  email  to  news@ addisonindependent.com.

We  also  have  counseling  for  ad-­ diction  patients  at  the  Counseling  Service  of  Addison  County  (CSAC,  802-­388-­6751).

The  Turning  Point  Center  of  Addison  County  (802-­388-­4249)  provides  the  long-­term  recovery  programs  needed  to  help  addicts  stay  off  drugs  for  the  rest  of  their  lives.

You  should  also  be  aware  that  there  are  active  Addison  County  community  groups  working  on  advancing  all  these  important  aspects  of  the  drug  issue  in  our  community.  For  more  informa-­ tion  on  these  groups  and  their  work,  please  contact  Moira  Cook,  Health  Services  District  Director,  Vermont  Department  of  Health  (802-­388-­5732).

Pellet  system (Continued  from  Page  1) with  a  pellet  boiler  system  aimed  at  reducing  the  structureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fuel  con-­ sumption  and  its  carbon  footprint  for  many  years  to  come.

Church  Trustees  Jeff  Rehbach  and  Jeff  Flavell  explained  the  congrega-­ tionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  transition  to  a  greener  fuel  sys-­ tem  coincided  with  a  major  break-­ down  of  the  buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  50-­year-­old  steam  boiler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  happened  out  of  necessity,â&#x20AC;?  Rehbach  said  of  the  recently  com-­ pleted  project.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just  as  (new  pas-­ tor,  the  Rev.  Stephanie  Allen)  was  arriving,  the  boiler  unit  cracked  on  our  old  steam  heating  system.  That  meant  something  that  we  had  been  thinking  about  replacing  became  a  very  real  issue.â&#x20AC;?

Church  leaders  priced  new  sys-­ tems  and  learned  they  could  replace  their  antiquated  steam  heating  ver-­ sion  and  related  conduits  and  radia-­ tors  with  a  new  fossil-­fuel  burning  unit  for  upwards  of  $110,000.  But  RIÂżFLDOV GHFLGHG WR ORRN LQWR JUHHQHU alternatives  that  would  be  more  en-­ vironmentally  sensitive  while  reduc-­ ing  long-­term  fuel  expenses.  Heating  oil  is  currently  commanding  an  aver-­ age  price  of  $3.18  per  gallon,  which  is  down  from  $3.57  at  this  time  last  \HDU EXW FKXUFK RIÂżFLDOV UHDVRQHG that  the  cost  will  inevitably  surge  as  the  resource  becomes  more  scarce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  wanted  to  move  away  from  fossil  fuels  and  we  set  out  criteria  WKDW LGHQWLÂżHG WKH LPSRUWDQFH RI helping  the  local  economy,  to  em-­ ploy  local  people,  and  to  have  a  re-­ newable  resource  that  would  keep  the  dollars  in  Vermont,â&#x20AC;?  Flavell  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  wanted  to  be  carbon  neutral,  to  the  greatest  extent  possible;Íž  we  wanted  to  be  good  stewards  of  the  environment.â&#x20AC;?

These  principles  guided  church  leaders  to  the  idea  of  a  pellet  boiler.  They  began  the  process  of  interview-­ ing  vendors,  culminating  in  the  se-­ lection  of  Avonda  Air  Systems  Inc.  of  South  Burlington  and  SunWood  %LRPDVV RI :DLWV¿HOG 7KH\ OHDUQHG

that  a  pellet  boiler  system  would  FRVW VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ PRUH WKDQ D FRQ-­ ventional  system,  but  that  the  church  would  see  fuel  savings  of  40  percent  to  45  percent  compared  to  what  it  spent  on  fuel  oil  last  winter.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  tradeoff,â&#x20AC;?  Rehbach  noted.

So  thanks  to  donations  and  loans,  the  Memorial  Baptist  Church  as-­ sembled  the  $200,000  needed  for  its  new  pellet  boiler  system,  which  began  operating  around  two  weeks  ago.  It  includes  a  boiler  and  an  out-­

door  silo  with  a  capacity  to  hold  ap-­ proximately  nine  tons  of  pellets  that  are  automatically  fed  indoors  to  the  boiler  hopper  by  suction,  through  a  6-­inch-­diameter  pipe.

It  is  estimated  the  church  will  burn  around  18.5  tons  of  pellets  per  winter,  according  to  Rehbach.  The  church  is  sourcing  its  pellets  exclu-­ sively  within  Vermont  at  a  price  of  $280  per  ton.

The  new  system  heats  all  of  the  churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  water  and  provides  ample  warmth  while  the  building  is  in  use Â

They  are  also  learning  from  the  experiences  of  two  other  groups  in  town  that  have  some  experience  with  large-­scale  pellet  boilers:  Ad-­ dison  County  Transit  Resources  and  the  Champlain  Valley  Unitarian  Universalist  Society.

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hockey  breaks  into  win  column  vs.  Conn.

By  ANDY  KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Middle-­ bury  College  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hockey  debuted  at  home  with  a  more  traditional  sys-­ tem  this  past  weekend  and  earned  a  win  and  a  tie  to  even  the  Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  record  at  1-­1-­2,  all  in  NESCAC  play.

On  Saturday,  the  Panthers  bolted  to  a  3-­0  lead  over  Connecticut  and  hung  on  for  a  3-­2  victory,  and  on  Friday  they  settled  for  a  2-­2  tie  with  Tufts  despite  outshooting  the  Jum-­ bos,  41-­25.

On  Friday,  the  Panthers  were  unlucky,  as  many  rebounds  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  bounce  their  way.  But  Beaney  said  luck  typically  follows  determina-­ tion,  and  he  expects  more  from  his  attackers  going  forward  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  especial-­ ly  with  the  Great  Northern  Shootout  coming  to  Kenyon  this  weekend.  Middlebury  will  play  Concordia  at  4  p.m.  on  Friday,  and  then  on  Saturday  either  Plattsburgh  or  Norwich  in  ei-­ WKHU WKH FRQVRODWLRQ RU ÂżQDO â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  bottom  line  is  we  have  to  get  D OLWWOH JULWWLHU LQ IURQW RI HDFK QHW ´

I  came  in  with  my  sister,  Possum,  so  I  wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mind  another  bunny  friend  either! Â

Hi, my name is Mica.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Eggnog,  a  sweet,  playful,  loving  girl!  I  was  brought  to  the  shelter  after  I  was  found  as  a  stray  in  Bristol.  The  staff  and  volunteers  here  just  love  me!

Although  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  any  known  history  with  other  animals,  I  have  seemed  to  get  along  with  the  other  cats  here  and  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mind  children.  I  am  also  an  excellent  snuggling  companion  and  I  love  giving  kisses!

Hi,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Gemma!  I  arrived  at  Homeward  Bound  at  the  end  of  October  as  a  stray.  Since  being  here  at  the  shelter  I  have  made  many  new  feline  friends  and  love  playing!  Chasing  string  and  toy  mice  is  my  favorite  pastime!  I  am  very  affectionate  and  loving,  but  can  still  be  a  little  shy  when  I  meet  new  people.  I  come  around  quickly  though  after  spending  some  time  with  them!  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Misu!  I  was  brought  to  Homeward  Bound  as  a  stray.  I  was  extremely  shy  ZKHQ , Âż UVW DUULYHG DW WKH VKHOWHU EXW DP slowly  opening  up  and  becoming  more  FRQÂż GHQW I  do  well  with  other  cats  but  am  unsure  how  I  feel  about  dogs.  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mind  children,  as  long  as  they  go  slow  with  me,  I  still  scare  easily!  But  I  sure  would  love  to  have  someone  to  play  with!

Hi!  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Sassy!  I  was  brought  to  Homeward  Bound  as  a  stray  back  in  September  2013.  I  was  in  pretty  rough  shape,  but  the  staff  here  took  really  good  care  of  me  and  brought  me  back  to  health!

I  may  be  9  but  am  still  very  playful  and  very  affectionate!  I  just  need  someone  to  love  me  and  help  me  maintain  my  beautiful  coat,  and  in  return  I  will  shower  you  with  love!

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  Spike!  I  came  to  Homeward  Bound  at  the  beginning  of  November,  I  was  a  barn  cat  but  I  am  so  socialized  that  I  was  EURXJKW WR WKH VKHOWHU WR Âż QG P\ IRUHYHU home!

I  get  along  with  other  cats  and  children  but  havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  had  any  experience  with  dogs.   Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  not  hard  to  please,  all  I  need  is  some  love  and  attention  and  in  return  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  your  loyal,  loving  companion!

My dog, Mica, recognizes dogs when they appear on the television and on my computer screen. With tail wagging she jumps and barks. One of her favorites is the White House dogs, Bo and Sunny, as they play on the lawn. She also often watches TV standing or sitting in front of the screen. One time Mica was standing looking at the TV, then she looked at me and back to the TV clearly asking me to turn on

Pet Pages The  perfect  environment  for  pet  birds  is  healthy,  warm  and  safe Although  birds  may  not  be  as  popu-­ lar  as  other  companion  animals,  avian  pets  still  make  wonderful  additions  to  many  families.  Pet  birds  can  run  the  gamut  from  larger  parrots  to  small  ORYHELUGV DQG ¿ QFKHV Birds  may  be  more  compact  pets,  suitable  for  smaller  living  spaces  like  DSDUWPHQWV EXW WKH\œUH QRW VHOI VXI¿ cient.  Birds  may  need  less  daily  atten-­ tion  than  cats  or  dogs,  but  birds  have  VSHFL¿ F QHHGV WR EH PHW WR NHHS WKHP healthy  and  happy.

Household  dangers Captive  birds  that  will  be  allowed  out  of  their  cages  from  time  to  time  are  susceptible  to  potential  dangers  around  the  house.  Numerous  things  can  be  dangerous  to  birds.  Their  small  stature  makes  birds  especially  vulnerable  to  household  cleaners,  even  small  amounts  of  which  can  result  in  illness.  Avoid  the  use  of  aero-­ sol  sprays  or  other  chemicals  around  the  bird.  Other  pets  can  also  be  potentially  harmful  to  birds,  which  cannot  defend  themselves  against  cats,  dogs  and  even  ferrets.  Something  seemingly  innocent,  such  as  a  source  of  open  water,  also  can  be  dangerous.  Birds  easily  can  drown  in  water  bowls,  buckets  or  open  toilets.  In  addition,  any  hot  surface   can  be  threatening  to  active  ELUGV DV ¿ UHSODFHV ERLOLQJ ZDWHU KRW light  bulbs,  radiators,  and  candles  can  cause  serious  burns.  Birds  that  are  allowed  free  run  of  the  house  should  be  carefully  moni-­ tored,  and  every  effort  should  be  made  to  remove  potential  hazards  from  the  home.  Keep  doors  closed  so  that  the  bird  cannot  escape  to  another  room  where  windows  may  be  open  or  safety  measures  to  protect  the  bird  were  not  taken.

Cages The  cage  will  be  the  birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  primary  home  and  the  place  he  or  she  will  spend  the  most  amount  of  time.  Provide  the  bird  with  the  largest  cage  your  home  can  accommodate.  Pet  professionals  recommend  stainless  steel  and  powder-­coated  cages  for  their  safety.  Avoid  galvanized  wire  cages  that  can  be  coated  with  zinc  and  make  the  bird  sick.

2XWÂż W WKH FDJH ZLWK QDWXUDO branches  or  perches  of  varying  diame-­ ter  to  prevent  painful  worn  spots  from Â

forming  on  the  birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  feet.  Keep  the  cage  as  clean  as  possible,  removing  papers  daily  and  rinsing  the  bottom  of  the  cage  with  soap  as  necessary.  A  weekly  disinfecting  with  a  mild  bleach-­and-­water  solution  can  keep  bacteria  from  taking  root  and  prevent  odor  in  the  cage.

Controlled  light Beyond  providing  food,  shelter,  exercise,  and  water,  bird  owners  also  should  consider  the  physical  and  SV\FKRORJLFDO EHQHÂż WV RI JLYLQJ FDJHG birds  access  to  full-­spectrum  lighting.  Wild  birds  are  accustomed  to  many  hours  of  sunlight,  and  indoor  birds  may  not  be  privy  to  such  conditions.  According  to  Everything  Birds,  bird  owners  should  provide  a  full-­ spectrum  of  light,  including  UVA  and  UVB  light,   to  caged  birds  for  15  to Â

40  minutes  per  day,  up  to  three  days  a  week.  Exposure  to  UVA  is  important  for  the  birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  vision,  while  UVB  rays  aid  in  the  production  of  vitamin  D.  Too  much  UV  exposure  can  be  harm-­ ful,  so  exercise  caution.  Adjusting  exposure  to  light  can  help  birds  develop  healthy  sleep-­wake  cycles  that  mimic  their  behaviors  in  nature.  When  the  weather  is  warm,  bird  cages  can  be  rolled  outdoors  or  birds  with  properly  clipped  wings  can  be  given  outdoor  exercise.

Temperature Birds  easily  get  cold  and  cannot  VXIÂż FLHQWO\ ZDUP WKHPVHOYHV VR keep  bird  cages  located  in  a  room  with  a  stable  temperature  and  away  from  drafts.  Do  not  locate  cages  close  to  windows  or  in  the  bathroom  ZKHUH WHPSHUDWXUHV FDQ Ă&#x20AC; XFWXDWH Kitchen When  heated,  nonstick  pans  may  produce  fumes  that  can  be  toxic  to  birds.  Coffee  pots  and  toasters  also  can  give  off  fumes,  especially  when  they  are  new,  so  keep  birds  away  from  these  appliances.  Birds  also  have  a  much  lower  tolerance  to  the  toxins  in  cigarette  smoke,  so  avoid  smoking  near  a  bird  after  a  meal.

Pet  birds  are  seemingly  an  easy  pet  to  have,  and  one  that  requires  much  less  work  than  a  dog  or  cat.  However,  birds  have  unique  needs,  and  they  require  specialized  care  not  everyone  is  capable  of  providing.  Â

Could  cricket  pie  ever  become  a  Thanksgiving  tradition?

By  RACHEL  SARGENT As  you  put  together  a  dinner  plan  for  this  Thanksgiving,  perhaps  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  looking  for  something  to  add  a  little  variety  to  the  tradi-­ tional  holiday  meal,  or  ways  to  eat  healthy  food  while  support-­ ing  good  environmental  practices.  How  about  adding  insects  to  the  menu?  Along  with  crackers  and  cheese,  grasshopper  fritters  make  excellent  appetizers.  Or  consider  adding  sautĂŠed  crickets  and  greens  as  a  side  to  your  potatoes,  turkey  and  gravy.  What  about  FULFNHW Ă&#x20AC; RXU IUXLWFDNH instead  of  the  typical  pumpkin  pie?

Like  the  majority  of  North  Americans,  you  probably  cringe  at  the  thought  of  insects  for  dinner.  Yet  people  in  many  cultures  eat  insects.  And  many  of  the  insects  they  think  are  delicious  are  familiar  in  the  Northeast.

We  usually  see  crickets  and  JUDVVKRSSHUV LQ Âż HOGV EXW PDQ\ people  around  the  world  think  they  look  good  served  on  a  skewer.  They  were  eaten  by  Native  Americans,  including  the  Ute  and  Shoshone  people  from  the  Southwest.  In  the  Great  Basin  (covering  Nevada  and  Utah)  crickets,  locusts  and  grass-­ hoppers  would  congregate  at  certain  times  of  the  year  in  huge  numbers,  making  them  easy  to  catch  and  roast.  Crickets  here  in  the  Northeast  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  so  easy  to  catch,  but  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  just  as  edible.  Mealworms,  which  originated  in  Europe  and  can  now  be  found  in  temperate  regions  everywhere,  are  also  popular  as  snacks,  and  why  not?  Apparently,  after  being  salted  and  fried,  they  rival  potato  chips  in  crunchy  deliciousness.

Not  sure  what  to  do  when  millions  of  cicadas  come  out  every  13  or  17  years?  You  can  eat  them;Íž  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  considered  a  delicacy  in  Shanghai.  Or  there  are  the  mobs  of  June  bugs  that  show  up  every  May  and  June.  Next  summer,  try  roasting  them  until  they  pop;Íž  add  salt  and  you  have  a  crunchy  popcorn-­like  snack.  In  our  region,  entomophagy  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  practice  of  eating  insects  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  has  been  gaining  attention  due  to  the  efforts  of  formerly  Vermont-­based  environmentalist  Rachael  Young.  As  the  founder  of  Eat  Yummy  Bugs,  Rachael  arranged  events  across  the  state,  often  in  collaboration  with  local  chefs  or  even  chocolatiers,  from  Nutty  Stephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  chocolate  shop  in  Middlesex  to  Psychedelicatessen  of  Burlington.

Rachael  favors  crickets  and  mealworms  in  her  recipes,  because  they  are  easy  to  raise  and  easy  to  cook.  Both  can  be  pan-­fried  into  salty  treats  that  make  good  snacks  or  additions  to  all  kinds  of  dishes.  Crickets  can  be  ground  into  a  high-­ SURWHLQ Ă&#x20AC; RXU DQG VXEVWLWXWHG LQ baking  recipes,  such  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;chocolate  chirp  cookies.â&#x20AC;?  Insects  are  a  tasty,  nutritious  and  healthy  source  of  protein.  As  an  example,  a  100-­gram  serving  of  ground  cricket  is  just  121  calories,  with  13  grams  of  protein,  only  5.5  grams  of  fat,  and  includes  many Â

The

vitamins  and  minerals,  including  calcium  and  iron.  An  equal  portion  of  ground  beef  is  288  calories,  with  23.5  grams  of  protein  and  a  whop-­ ping  21  grams  of  fat.

Yet  what  is  really  turning  heads  these  days  about  entomophagy  DUH WKH HQYLURQPHQWDO EHQHÂż WV Rearing  birds  or  mammals  for  meat  is  a  resource-­expensive  way  to  make  food.  Consider  this:  2.5  pounds  of  feed  is  needed  to  make  just  one  pound  of  poultry,  but  only  1.7  pounds  of  feed  will  get  you  a  pound  of  cricket.  Better  yet,  nearly  the  whole  cricket  can  be  eaten  (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  prefer-­ able  to  remove  their  legs,  which  are  spikey),  whereas  your  holi-­ day  turkey  has  many  inedible  bits  including  feathers  and  bones.

Insects  may  be  the  easiest  of  all  animals  to  raise.  They  need  very  little  space,  food,  light  or  water.  They  can  be  raised  at  high  densities  with  little  environmental  impact,  unlike  large-­scale  commercial  poultry,  pork  or  beef  farming.  Insect  farming  hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  really  caught  on  in  North  America,  although  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gaining  momentum.  The  two  most  prominent  sources  of  commercial  crickets,  World  Entomophagy  and  Aspire  Food  Group,  merged  this  summer  to  take  cricket  farming  and  entomophagy  education  to  a  whole  new  level.

Or,  if  you  prefer  to  eat  local,  try  raising  insects  at  home.  Crickets  require  so  little  space  you  can  keep  them  in  a  closet.  A  covered  aquar-­ ium  with  some  soil  (where  they  lay  eggs),  an  egg  carton  to  climb  on,  wet  cotton  balls  for  water,  and  food  scraps  are  all  you  need  to  be  a  cricket  farmer.  Mealworms  are Â
