Farmers need labor, seek immigration reform (GLWRUÂśV QRWH 7KLV LV WKH ÂżUVW LQ D two-­part  series  on  Vermont  agricul-­ ture  and  immigration  reform. By  ZACH  DESPART NEW  HAVEN  â€”  Addison  Coun-­ ty  dairy  farmers  talking  last  week  with  Congressman  Peter  Welch  said  a  new  immigration  bill  is  vital  to  meeting  their  labor  needs,  as  farms  increasingly  rely  on  immigrant  workers.

“One  of  the  quickest  ways  to  kill  the  dairy  industry  is  to  have  no  la-­ bor,â€?  said  Bob  Foster  of  Foster  Brothers  Farm  in  Middlebury.  â€œIt’s  a  24/7  job.â€? Though  the  vast  majority  of  for-­ eign  agricultural  laborers  work  on  dairies,  there  is  no  temporary  visa  program  for  dairy  laborers.  There-­ fore,  foreign  workers  have  to  ob-­ tain  permanent  resident  status  to Â

legally  work  on  a  dairy  farms. “It’s  most  important  for  us  that  dairy  be  a  legal  category  for  tempo-­ rary  workers,â€?  said  Clark  Hinsdale  of  Nordic  Farm  in  Charlotte,  who  is  also  president  of  the  Vermont  Farm  Bureau.  â€œIt’s  legal  for  apple  and  vegetable  pickers,  but  not  for  dairy  workers  year  round.â€? Welch,  a  Vermont  Democrat,  said  at  the  Nov.  4  meeting  at  Phoe-­

nix  Feeds  and  Nutrition  in  New  Haven  that  he  believed  a  new  im-­ migration  bill  could  be  passed,  though  he  acknowledged  that  hy-­ per-­partisanship  in  Congress  has  ground  both  the  House  and  Senate  to  a  halt. “Even  Congress  is  embarrassed  by  how  few  things  get  done,â€?  Welch  said.

Here’s a health marker you may not be familiar with: AGE levels (BPT)  â€”  When  it  comes  to  health  by  the  numbers,  you  probably  already  know  to  keep  an  eye  on  your  cholesterol  level,  body  mass  index  (BMI)  and  blood  pressure.  But  are  you  aware  of  another  medical  marker  that  directly  impacts  these  others?  Advanced  Glycation  End-­products  (AGEs)  are  markers  for  the  aging  of  our  internal  organs,  tissues  and  body  systems.  Research  shows  that  AGEs  are  linked  to  nearly  every  chronic  disease  we  face  today,  such  as  obesity;Íž  kidney,  heart  and  eye  disease;Íž  and  dementia. “While  cholesterol,  body  mass  index  and Â

blood  pressure  are  familiar  and  relevant  health  indicators,  AGEs  are  the  critical  fourth  medical  marker  that  everyone  should  know,â€?  says  Pat  Baird,  registered  dietitian  and  A.G.E.  Foundation  board  member.  â€œAGEs  impact  how  long  and  how  well  you  live  as  they  age  your  body  from  the  inside  out.â€? AGEs  develop  naturally  in  our  body  and  can  be  ingested  through  certain  foods,  including  browned,  sugary  and  processed  foods.  When  people  consume  too  many  of  these  foods,  higher  than  normal  levels  of  AGEs  build  up  in  the  body’s  tissues  and  accelerate  the  aging Â

process  internally. You  can  lower  AGEs  in  your  diet  by  avoiding  charred  and  blackened  foods,  extending  cooking  time  and  incorporating  more  water  (e.g.,  steaming,  poaching,  boiling)  and  acidic  marinades  (e.g.,  lemon  or  lime-­based)  into  your  food  preparation,  according  to  the  A.G.E.  Foundation.  Choosing  colorful  foods  that  include  healthy  iridoids,  like  noni,  blueberries,  olives  and  cranberries  as  well  as  consuming  supplemental  beverages  can  effectively  lower  AGEs.  Additionally,  receiving  a  full  eight  KRXUV RI VOHHS DOORZV WKH ERG\ WR ¿JKW $*(

accumulation  and  managing  physical  and  emotional  stress  curbs  the  production  of  AGEs. “Being  aware  of  these  four  critical  medical  markers  â€”  cholesterol,  body  mass  index,  EORRG SUHVVXUH DQG $*(V ² FDQ EH WKH ÂżUVW step  to  a  better  and  healthier  life,â€?  says  Baird.  â€œSimple  lifestyle  changes  like  exercising  for  30  minutes  a  day,  eating  a  healthy  diet  rich  in  whole  grains,  fruits  and  vegetables,  quitting  smoking  and  regularly  monitoring  your  health  can  help  to  lower  or  maintain  the  level  of  AGEs  in  your  body  and  reduce  your  risk  for  chronic  diseases.â€?

Top challenges before retirement (BPT)  â€”  It’s  no  secret  that  Americans  aren’t  saving  enough  for  retirement.  Many  people  are  coming  up  short  when  it  comes  to  funding  their  nest  egg.  But  why  is  the  problem  so  wide-­spread?  Insight  can  be  found  in  the  human  behaviors  that  tend  to  get  in  the  way  of  saving  adequately. With  National  Save  for  Retirement  Week  the  third  week  in  October,  now  is  the  perfect  time  to  learn  more  about  the  most  common  hurdles  of  retirement  savings.  The  experts  at  Prudential  Retirement  QRWH WKH WRS ÂżYH FKDOOHQJHV WR EHLQJ retirement  ready  include: ‡ /LYLQJ ORQJHU ² 'LG \RX NQRZ a  baby  born  today  is  more  likely  to  live  to  100  than  to  be  born  with  blue  eyes?  The  fact  is,  people  are  living  longer,  and  it’s  hard  to  know  how  long  you’ll  live.  You  may  live  many  years  beyond  retirement,  a  time  when  you’re  no  longer  creating  income.  The  challenge  is  we  still  believe  we’re  living  to  70  or  75  â€”  but  think  about  it.  How  old  is  the  oldest  person  you  know  alive  today?  Chances  are,  you  know  someone  who  is  well  into  their  90s.  Saving  for  retirement  now  prepares  you  for  the  exciting  possibility  of  having  a  longer  retirement. ‡ 3URFUDVWLQDWLRQ ² ,WÂśV KXPDQ nature  to  procrastinate.  And  while  some  things  take  the  same  amount  of  time  to  do  whether  completed  today  or  a  year  from  now,  others Â

Most caregivers will know what you’re talking about! The elder needing supervision often says, “My family can take care of me,� or “I’m fine by myself.� As the caregiving adult child you are probably hesitant to insist that your parent accept new help. You might say, “I feel guilty leaving Mom with someone else, like I’m being selfish.� The decision to begin “paid help� is a major one for a family. In our opinion, most families wait way too long. Adult children can become frustrated and irritable. Homebound elders can suffer boredom and loneliness.

Despite  the  upsides,  seniors  do  still  need  their  own  space.  Research  supported  by  the  National  Institute  on  Aging  in  2011  showed  that  grandparents  who  lived  with  their  grandchildren  and  were  responsible  for  their  primary  care  were  more  likely  to  be  depressed  or  have  health  problems  than  were  their  peers  who  enjoyed  time  with  their  grandchildren  in  limited  doses.  The  stress  and  physical  demands  of  raising  children  can  be  multiplied  for  seniors  who  are  dealing  with  the  effects  of  aging  and  trying  to  slow  down,  the  study  said. The  best-­case  scenario?  To  have  regular  and  limited  interaction  between  children  and  seniors,  whether  between  grandkids  and  grandparents  or  other  children  in  the  community  with  seniors  living  around  them. INTERGENERATIONAL  PROGRAMS Programs  that  bring  children  and  seniors  together  through  schools,  nursing  homes,  religious  groups  and  volunteer  organizations  have  been  around  for  decades.  In  Addison  County,  many  of  the  volunteers  working  to  support  the  community  have  retired  from  their  careers  and  are  looking  for  opportunities  to  engage  and  stay  active. Several  local  schools  including  Mary  Hogan  Elementary,  Bridport  Central,  Salisbury  Community  and  Shoreham  Elementary  run  a  program  called  Everybody  Wins  that  connects  youngsters  with  volunteer  reading  buddies  who  help  them  learn  how  to  read  and  love  books.  The  volunteers  can  be  any  age  and  are  sometimes  high  school  or  college  students,  parents  or  other  adults,  but  they  are  very  often  seniors  who  have  some  extra  time  and  want  to  connect  with  area  kids.  â€œIn  a  world  where  so  many  young  families  are  transient,  a  lot  of  children  don’t  live  near  their  grandparents,â€?  says  Angela  Landis,  Everybody  Wins  program  director  at  Mary  Hogan  Elementary  in  Middlebury.  â€œOne  of  the  wonderful  things  about  the  relationships  where  students  are  paired  with  an  elderly  mentor  is  that  they  get  the  perspective  from  a  different  generation  than  they  may  have  regular  access  to.â€?

The  rule  of  chipmunk  game  theory By  ELISE  TILLINGHAST Two  chipmunks  vie  for  seeds  on  our  front  lawn.  One  lives  directly  underneath  the  bird  feeder.  Another  hails  from  the  far  side  of  the  house,  address  unknown. The  chipmunks  appear  identical  to  me:  same  size,  same  stripes.  Same  interests,  namely  seed  hoarding,  aggressive  chittering,  jumping  into  the  bushes  and  back  out  again,  and  brazen  stiff-­ tailed  standoffs  with  the  dog. However,  some  aspects  of  these  chipmunks’  behavior  are  probably  distinctive.  Experiments  have  demon-­ strated  that  a  chipmunks’  choosiness  about  what  food  they  collect,  how  fully  they  stuff  their  cheek  pouches,  and  even  how  quickly  they  stuff  food  in  there  all  relate  to  the  distance  between  a  foraging  site  and  a  home  burrow. The  Eastern  chipmunk,  Tamias  striatus,  is  a  central  place  forager.  This  means  that,  similar  to  the  beaver  and  the  honeybee,  the  chip-­ munk  carries  food  back  to  a  central  location.  This  time  of  year,  that  location  is  the  chipmunk’s  winter  burrow.  It’s  an  impressive  feat  of  earthworks  that  includes  a  bedroom,  bath-­ room,  several  tunnels  to  the  surface,  and  multiple  larders.  In  late  autumn,  the  chipmunk  retreats  to  its  bedroom,  tucks  its  tail  over  its  nose,  and  sinks  into  a  deep  sleep.  However,  unlike  many  other  hiber-­ nating  mammals,  the  chip-­ munk  doesn’t  sleep  the  winter  away.  Because  it  lacks  fat  reserves,  it  has  to  wake  up  frequently  to  feed.  In  other  words,  chipmunks  have  good  cause  for  their  hoarding  obses-­ sion.  But  their  intense  foraging  activ-­ ity  has  a  cost.  The  time  and  energy  that  a  chipmunk  spends  obtaining  and  hauling  food  from  a  particular  site,  be  it  a  birdfeeder  or  a  patch  of  IRUHVW Ă€RRU UHSUHVHQW SUHFLRXV FDOR-­ ries  invested  and  other  opportunities  VDFULÂżFHG $V HVWDEOLVKHG IRRG VLWHV are  depleted,  chipmunks  have  to  go  out  and  look  for  new  ones,  and  this  is  an  energy  gamble.  Long  distance  foraging  may  offer  access  to  more Â

The

desirable  food  sites,  but  it  requires  more  travel  time  and  increases  the  risk  of  predation.  Then  there  is  the  â€œloading  curveâ€?  consideration.  In  general,  the  more  food  a  chipmunk  stuffs  in  its  cheek  pouches,  the  slower  its  subsequent  VWXIÂżQJ DQG WKHUHIRUH the  greater  its  overall  risk  of  predation.  Nor  is  every  food  item  created  equal.  In  addition  to  issues  of  durability  and  nutritive  value,  some  food  is  simply  easier  to  harvest  and  stuff  than  other  food.  As  if  all  these  factors  weren’t  enough  to  worry  about,  chipmunks  have  another  problem  to  manage:  other  chipmunks.  Chipmunk  terri-­ tories  average  about  5,000  square  meters  (a  little  more  than  an  acre)  and  they  overlap.  This  means  that  rivals  lurk  nearby,  poised  to  Hoover  up  food  at  a  forage  site,  or  even  steal Â

Outside Story

from  undefended  burrows.  So  how  does  all  this  play  out  underneath  the  bird  feeder?  Fortunately  for  the  inquisitive,  there  has  been  extensive  research  in  central  place  foraging  over  the  past  few  decades,  and  the  chipmunk  has  been  the  protagonist  of  numer-­ ous  scholarly  papers.  Some  of  these  veer  to  the  unintentionally  funny.  My  favorite  example,  a  paper  out  of  the  UniversitĂŠ  du  QuĂŠbec,  describes  an  experiment  assessing  chipmunk  UHDFWLRQV WR VXQĂ€RZHU VHHGV WKDW KDG toothpicks  stuck  to  their  shells  with  Advanced  Formula  Instant  Krazy  Glue. Out  of  all  this  research  emerges Â

what  might  be  called  the  guid-­ ing  rule  of  chipmunk  game  theory.  Chipmunks  have  evolved  to  be  energy  maximizers.  They  seek  to  strike  the  optimal  balance  between  the  energy  gain  per  cheek  pouch  load  and  the  highest  possible  number  of  trips  back  to  the  burrow.  In  the  absence  of  other  variables,  a  chipmunk  that  is  near  its  burrow  will  have  smaller  pouch  loads  and  make  more  frequent  trips  than  a  chipmunk  from  a  distant  burrow,  which  will  stuff  its  cheeks  full  before  heading  back  home.  Of  course,  chipmunks’  lives  teem  with  other  variables,  and  studies  show  that  chipmunk  behavior  adapts  to  take  many  of  them  into  account.  Here  are  some  basics  from  what  might  be  called  Chipmunk  Game  Theory  101.  If  another  chipmunk  is  making  a  lot  of  noise,  it  might  be  fussing  at  you,  but  it  also  may  have  spotted  a  hawk  or  a  weasel.  Slow  down  pouch  stuff-­ ing  and  look  out  for  predators.  If  food  is  low  quality  and  far  from  home,  seek  another  foraging  site.  If  a  site  has  a  dwindling  supply  of  food,  or  if  the  food  requires  extensive  handling  time  (i.e.,  seeds  covered  with  toothpicks  and  Krazy  Glue),  take  time  during  your  return  trip  to  explore  alternative  sites.  If  a  dominant  chip-­ munk  temporarily  vacates  a  food  site,  spend  more  time  there  and  stuff  all  you  can.  If  another  chipmunk  is  at  the  IRRG VLWH VORZ GRZQ VWXIÂżQJ and  keep  an  eye  on  them.  If  a  subordinate  chipmunk  is  intruding  on  your  territory,  chase  them.  Sure,  it  will  cost  you  energy,  but  it  will  cost  them  energy  too,  and  maybe  they  won’t  come  back. Of  course,  it’s  easy  to  imag-­ ine  more  factors:  weather,  steepness  of  terrain  between  burrow  and  foraging  site  â€Ś  how  about  pouch  fatigue?  My  small  primate  brain  boggles  at  the  complexities.  It’s  enough  to  make  me  want  to  chitter  aggressively,  jump  into  the  bushes,  and  jump  back  out  again.  Elise  Tillinghast  is  the  publisher  of  Northern  Woodlands  magazine.  The  illustration  for  this  column  was  drawn  by  Adelaide  Tyrol.  The  Outside  Story  is  assigned  and  edited  by  Northern  Woodlands  magazine  and  sponsored  by  the  Wellborn  Ecology  Fund  of  New  Hampshire  Charitable  Foundation:  wellborn@nhcf.org.

While  single-­family  homes  are  the  norm  in  our  culture,  there  is  a  strong  and  fascinating  tradi-­ tion  of  people  choosing  to  live  together  or  make  their  lives  together.  Throughout  most  of  human  history,  people  have  lived  in  closely  connected  tribes,  bands,  villages  and  other  communities;Íž  this  talk  will  introduce  some  of  the Â

types  of  communities  currently  in  use  such  as  eco-­villages,  cohous-­ ing,  communes  and  co-­ops.  Current  intentional  communities  in  Vermont  and  New  England  will  also  be  discussed.  If  you  wish  to  attend,  the  cost  is  $10  if  you  RSVP  to  info@willowell.org  at  least  24  hours  in  advance.  It  will  cost  $12  at  the  door.  Refreshments Â

will  be  served. Have  you  paid  your  prop-­ erty  taxes  yet?  Town  Treasurer  Bill  Joos  will  be  available  at  the  Monkton  Town  Hall  as  follows:  Monday,  Tuesday  and  Thursday,  Nov.  11,  12  and  14,  8  a.m.  to  7  p.m.;Íž  Wednesday  and  Friday,  Nov.  13  and  15,  8  a.m.  to  5  p.m.  Friday  at  5  p.m.  is  the  deadline  for  you Â

It’s  against  the  law  to  discriminate  when  advertising  housing  related  activities. Particularly  on  sites  like  Craigslist. And  it’s  easier  to  break  the  law  than  you  might  think.  You  can’t  say  â€œno  childrenâ€?  or  â€œadults  only.â€?  There  is  lots  you  can’t  say.  The  federal  government  is  watching  for  such  discrimination.

EAGLES  CLUB  DINNER Meanwhile,  the  Addison  County  Eagles  Club  in  Vergennes  is  again  planning  its  annual  Thanksgiving  dinner,  served  as  usual  at  noon  on  Thanksgiving  Day,  Nov.  28,  at  its  hall  at  67  New  Haven  Road.  The  club  will  also  deliver  complete  meals  at  11  a.m.  if  the  recipient  is  a  shut-­ in  living  in  the  Vergennes  area.  The  club  asks  that  people  call  as  soon  as  possible  877-­2055  or  send  a  note  to  the  Eagles  headquarters  â€”  67  New  Haven  Road,  Vergennes,  VT  05491  â€”  to  indicate  whether  a  sit-­down  meal  or  delivery  is  required.  The  Addison  County  Eagles  have  served  these  meals  to  50  to  100  people  an-­ nually  since  1982. Unfortunately,  there  will  be  no  Thanksgiving  meal  this  year  at  Mid-­ dlebury  Veterans  of  Foreign  Wars  Post  7823.  Longtime  co-­organizers  Craig  Bingham  and  Beth  Diamond  had  announced  that  last  year’s  Thanksgiving  dinner  would  be  their  last  as  coordinators  of  the  feast,  a  community  meal  prepared  by  volun-­ teers  using  donated  food  from  area  businesses. “It  really  does  need  to  be  taken  over  by  a  group,â€?  Diamond  said. 9): RIÂżFLDOV VDLG WKH\ KRSH WR resume  the  meal  next  year.

of the house where our neighbor was waiting in his car to take us to the big farmhouse. We got to his house and quickly left the car and walked onto the large porch with a roof and solid railing. The wind was blowing so hard it took my grandfather across the porch and someone grabbed him. We spent the night with these neighbors. The women mopped up water that came into the house and men took care of the doors and windows. Early the next morning my dad and the neighbor man went out to the big barn with guns to check on the cows in the barn. The barn roof had col-­ ODSVHG DQG WKH XSSHU VWRU\ ZDV ¿OOHG with hay. They had to shoot some of the cows who were still alive. We soon learned that two other large dairy barns on the Mountain Road nearby had also had heavy damage and were either blown down or lost roofs. We stayed with our neighbors for a short time as the storm had blown the roof of our house completely off. I don’t remember how long we stayed with the neighbors. I do remember that Middlebury College students came and built a new roof for our house.
