Letters to the Editor VUHS  board  makes  appeal  for  school  renovations Over  the  coming  weeks,  Addi-­ son  Independent  readers  will  see  a  revised  request  from  the  Vergennes  Union  High  School  board  to  the  community,  in  support  of  renova-­ tions  at  the  community’s  school.  These  renovations  are  necessary  and  timely,  yet  many  readers  may  feel  like  the  voters  already  spoke  clearly  on  this  issue  during  Novem-­ ber  of  2012  and  March  of  2013.  Why,  then,  would  the  board  once  again  ask  for  community  support  of  this  project?  Please  allow  us  a  mo-­ ment  to  explain  why.

VUHS’  board  of  directors  is Â

comprised  of  citizens  who,  like  all  readers  of  the  Independent,  care  for  their  community  and  their  schools.  The  role  of  the  board  is  to  ensure  that  the  educational  programs  have  the  tools  and  facilities  necessary  to  educate  our  children,  to  prepare  them  for  life  in  a  modern  world.  Members  of  the  board  have  clearly  heard  the  heartfelt  concerns  of  property  owners  regarding  the  seemingly  ever-­increasing  tax  burden.  Amidst  this  backdrop,  it  would  seem  at  odds  with  pub-­ lic  sentiment  to  re-­issue  a  bond  request.  However,  the  truth  is  that Â

as  of  now,  there  is  little  choice  but  to  invest  in  our  facility.  Continued  deferral  will  just  increase  the  costs  on  this  maintenance  unnecessarily.  The  important  questions  are:  1)  are  the  repairs  really  needed;͞  and  2)  are  they  cost-­effective?

Over  the  past  several  years,  the  VUHS  board  has  worked  hard  with  school  administrators  to  keep  budgets  down.  In  2011,  the  budget  was  reduced  by  1.1  percent,  and  in  2012,  reduced  by  a  further  0.1  percent.  For  2013,  the  budget  was  held  to  a  1.9  percent  increase  from  (See  Letter,  Page  5)

Taylor has played varsity soccer and varsity basketball all four years of high school. She has played softball since freshman year, moving up to varsity as a sophomore.

Taylor  Aines She works at Half Moon State Park in Hubbardton in the summer, and    O.V.U.H.S volunteers there as well about a week before the season begins to help get things ready.

After high school, Taylor plans to enroll in college in the fall of 2014 and major in nursing. After receiving a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree, she plans to go to graduate school to become a nurse anesthetist.

According to teacher Christine Roberts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taylor is a diligent and conscientious student and an amazing role model. She has LPSUHVVHG PH ZLWK KHU GHWHUPLQDWLRQ DQG PDWXULW\ ERWK LQ WKH FODVVURRP DQG RQ WKH SOD\LQJ Ă&#x20AC;HOG ,W KDV EHHQ P\ SOHDVXUH getting to know Taylor over the past four years, and I will miss her a great deal.â&#x20AC;?

The Otter Valley community congratulates Taylor on being named Student of the Week.

Mount Abraham Union High School proudly announces that Sawyer Kamman is its Student of the Week. Sawyer lives in Lincoln with his parents, Alan and Ann. His sister is a junior at Ithaca College.

Sawyer is the vice president of his National Honor Society chapter and has been on high or highest honors every quarter of his Mount Abe career. He has achieved Academic Excellence throughout high school. He took AP Calculus junior year and is now taking AP Literature and Composition along with AP Biology. Sophomore year he was a recipient of the coveted Golden Test Tube Award given to promising young chemists.

Sawyer has played soccer all four years of high school and was a co-captain of the state championship Eagle Brotherhood this fall. He has played basketball and baseball in grades 9-12 as well. Since freshman year, he has been a member of the Vermont Teen Leadership Safety Program and the Youth Risk Behavior Survey.

Since junior year, he has been a member of the League of Young Astronomers, a stargazing group at Mt. Abe.This year, much to his surprise, he had a lead role in the fall musical â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Christmas Carol.â&#x20AC;? He has been a member of the Scholarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bowl since freshman year.

In the summer, he is employed at the Village Creeme Stand. He has also worked Sawyer  Kamman at the Summit Soccer Camp and Eagle Baseball Camp for the past two summers.

His volunteer activity comes with his participation in the National Honor Society, M.A.U.H.S. and with helping from time to time with the Lincoln Little League.

Outside of school, Sawyer likes to stay active and enjoys playing any sport. He plays for the Addison County American Legion Baseball team in the summer, and tries to play as much pickup basketball and soccer as he can. While he likes to move around a lot, he also has no problem in slowing it down and crocheting a nice blanket with his mother.

The advice he would give to younger peers would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do your best in school, but always give yourself time to relax and have fun. School is important but it should not control your entire life.â&#x20AC;?

After Mount Abraham, Sawyer plans to attend college and major in either journalism or broadcast journalism.

One of Sawyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friends, Lucas Calzini, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sawyer always brings a positive attitude to my house. He actively participates in discussions, and has good knowledge of content. He knows how to have a good time, but also knows when work needs to be done. He has lots of potential as a learner, and as a friend.â&#x20AC;?

History teacher Rick Desorda says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What makes Sawyer unique is that he makes all people feel that they are important when he is with them. This quality sets Sawyer apart from many students and adults.â&#x20AC;?

Mount Abraham is proud of Sawyer and wishes him the best in his future.

Otter Valley Students of the week receive a gift certificate from the Inside Scoop. Mt. Abe Students of the Week receive a free pizza from Cubbers. Students of the Week from ALL area high school will receive a gift certificate from Vermont Book shop.

Students of the Week are chosen by school teachers and administration.

Georgia  Winters  receives  academic  honor EASTON,  Mass.  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Bristol  na-­ tive  Georgia  Winters,  a  recent  graduate  of  Stonehill  College  in  Easton,  Mass.,  was  recently  named  an  Honorary  Undergraduate  Schol-­ ar  by  the  New  England  Psycho-­ logical  Association  (NEPA).  To  be  considered  for  the  award,  a  student  must  be  nominated  by  two  faculty  members  and  have  an  outstand-­ ing  record  of  research  experience,  applied  experience,  service  to  the  department,  and  high  academic  achievement.

Psychology  professors  Bonnie  Klentz  and  Jane  Nash,  who  both  nominated  Winters,  worked  closely  with  her  on  two  separate  projects.  Winters  was  the  recipient  of  the  Psychology  Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Student  of  the  Year  Award  last  spring  at  Stonehill.  She  graduated  from  the  college  this  past  May  with  a  bach-­ elor  of  arts  degree  in  criminology  and  psychology,  earning  summa  cum  laude  honors.

Through  independent  research  projects  during  the  academic  year  as  well  as  through  Stonehillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Un-­ dergraduate  Research  Experience  (SURE)  Program  in  the  summer,  Winters  collaborated  with  Klentz  on  a  project  that  examined  the  im-­ pact  of  viewing  forensic  crime  dra-­ mas  on  jury  decision  making.  The  WZR SUHVHQWHG WKHLU ÂżQGLQJV DW WKH American  Psychology-­Law  Soci-­ ety  Annual  Conference  last  spring  and  continue  to  collaborate  on  a  manuscript  based  on  this  research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over  the  two  and  a  half  years  we  worked  on  this  research,  she  transitioned  from  student  to  true  collaborator,â&#x20AC;?  said  Klentz  on  working  with  Winters.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even  with  the  high  expectations  I  had  for  her  work,  she  always  surprised  me  by  exceeding  those  expectations.  She  was,  and  continues  to  be,  a  joy  to  work  with.â&#x20AC;?

Under  Nashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  supervision,  Win-­ ters  completed  a  senior  research  thesis  titled  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  Knew  It  All  Along:  Identifying  Sexual  Grooming  Be-­ haviors  of  Child  Molesters,â&#x20AC;?  which  they  presented  at  the  New  England  Psychological  Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fall  meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Georgia  is  everything  we  hope  for  in  a  student.  She  excels  in  every  environment  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  in  the  classroom,  in  the  research  lab,  and  in  the  com-­ munity.  We  are  thrilled  to  see  her  honored  for  her  hard  work  as  an  undergraduate  and  look  forward  to  following  her  career  in  forensic  psychology,â&#x20AC;?  Nash  said.

In  addition  to  her  research,  Win-­

Vermont  Brain  Bee  seeks  participants BURLINGTON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Vermont  Brain  Bee  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  daylong  event  devoted  to  knowledge  about  neuroscience  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  seeks  bright  and  motivated  students  from  all  over  Vermont  to  participate  in  the  2014  Brain  Bee,  which  takes  place  on  Feb.  8,  2014,  at  the  University  of  Vermont  in  Burlington.  The  event  is  open  to  individuals  or  groups  of  students  in  grades  9-­12  from  public  and  private  schools,  as  well  as  those  who  are  home-­schooled.  Students  from  Middlebury  Union  High Â

School  have  taken  part  for  several  years,  and  organizers  are  looking  for  more  schools  and  homeschoolers  to  participate.

To  prepare,  students  brush  up  on  facts  related  to  human  brain  structure  and  function  and  then  come  to  the  bee  and  participate  in  a  written,  practical  and  oral  competition  and  attend  noteworthy  activities,  including  a  keynote  address  featuring  Dr.  Michael  Cannizzarro,  who  will  speak  on  monitoring  brain  signals  during Â

communication;͞  psychiatry  fellows  conducting  mock  patient  diagnoses  of  neural  disorders;͞  and  a  neuroscience  graduate  and  undergraduate  student  panel.

The  event  brings  together  students  from  across  Vermont  for  an  opportunity  to  represent  the  state  in  the  U.S.  National  Brain  Bee  in  Baltimore,  Md.,  in  mid-­March.  The  goal  of  the  Vermont  Brain  Bee  is  to  create  excitement  for  learning  about  the  fabulous  brain.  Find  out  more  at  vermontbrainbee.com.

Ginkgo trees: ancient and medicinal VERMONT  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Besides  being  a  beautiful  ornamental,  ginkgo  (pronounced  GINK-­o)  trees  are  interesting  and  useful  for  many  reasons.  Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  one  of  our  most  ancient  plants,  having  been  around  for  over  200  millions  years.  They  have  medicinal  uses,  and  the  fruits  are  eaten  in  Asian  cultures  and  cuisine.  In  landscapes  they  have  a  lovely  habit,  interesting  leaves,  and  lovely  yellow  fall  color.  Another  name  for  the  ginkgo  (Ginkgo  biloba)  is  â&#x20AC;&#x153;maidenhair  tree,â&#x20AC;?  since  its  leaves  resemble  in  shape  those  of  the  maidenhair  fern.  Roughly  triangular  or  fan-­shaped,  leaves  are  about  2  to  3-­inches  long  and  wide,  and  often  have  an  indentation  making  them  â&#x20AC;&#x153;bi-­ lobedâ&#x20AC;?  (hence  the  species  name).  Leaf  veins  are  unique  to  this  plant  too,  being  parallel  running  down  the  leaf  and  continuously  d i v i d i n g  into  twos Â

The

cells  that  fertilize  the  eggs  are  motile,  swimming  in  water.  Ginkgo  is  the  only  genus  in  the  Ginkgo  family,  and  the  only  link  between  lower  and  higher  plants.  There  are  only  two  other  plants  at  all  closely  related,  but  these  are  now  extinct  (as  found  in  fossil  records).  Ginkgo  often  are  referred  to  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;living  fossils.â&#x20AC;?  Most  gymnosperms  have  both  sexes  on  the  same  plant,  but  ginkgo  is  â&#x20AC;&#x153;dioeciousâ&#x20AC;?  with  separate  male  and  female  plants.  This  is  important  to  know,  as  the  ripe  seeds  of  the  female  plant  are  the  ultimate  landscape  nuisance,  smelling  like  rancid  butter Â

Outside Story

(â&#x20AC;&#x153;dichotomousâ&#x20AC;?).  Ginkgo  leaves  are  so  unique  that  many  know  them,  and  children  often  collect  them.  Generally  the  leaves  turn  a  lovely  yellow  in  autumn  but,  if  a  hard  frost,  can  mostly  fall  to  the  ground  overnight.  Botanically  ginkgos  have  yet  more  interest,  holding  a  rather  unique  position  in  seed-­producing  plants  besides  being  the  oldest  in  this  group.  They  are  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;gymnosperm,â&#x20AC;?  meaning  the  seeds  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  a  fruit  around  them,  but  are  â&#x20AC;&#x153;naked  seedsâ&#x20AC;?  (the  meaning  of  the  word  in  Greek).  So  they  are  similar  in  this  way  to  conifers,  or  cone-­bearing  trees,  but  they  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  in  this  group  as  they  were  originally  thought.  Yet  they  are  more  like  conifers  than  â&#x20AC;&#x153;deciduousâ&#x20AC;?  trees,  even  though  they  lose  their  leaves  in  fall  like  the  latter.  Research  shows  that  the  ginkgo  is  actually  more  closely  linked  to  another  primitive  gymnosperm,  the  palm-­like  cycads.  Similar  to  cycads,  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  the  only  plants  whose  sperm Â

at  best  ( d u e  to  butanoic  acid).  For  this  reason,  generally  only  male  plants  and  male  cultivars  (cultivated  varieties)  are  now  found  outside  Asia,  where  fruit  are  often  grown  to  eat.  The  seeds  KDYH D Ă&#x20AC;HVK\ FRYHULQJ DUH SOXP shaped,  and  an  inch  or  more  long.  Young  trees  are  pyramidal,  becoming  more  oval  and  wide-­ spreading.  Female  trees  are  even  more  spreading  and  wide.  Eventually  trees  will  reach  50  to  80  feet  high,  and  from  30  to  80  feet  wide.  While  generally  slow  to  medium  in  growth  rate,  younger  plants  under  good  culture  can  grow  10  feet  in  10  years,  or  more.  Trees  are  long-­lived,  perhaps  to  1,000  years  or  more.  The  oldest  ginkgo  in  China,  where  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  native,  is  estimated  over  2,500  years  old. Â

The  ginkgo  is  quite  adaptable  to  most  of  the  world,  growing  from  the  cold  to  the  subtropics  (zones  3  to  9),  from  Iceland  to  Australia.  It  tolerates  soil  extremes,  except  for  very  wet,  including  variable  soil  acidity  (pH),  and  salty  soils.  Best  is  a  deep,  moist  soil.  Virtually  free  of  pests  and  diseases,  it  also  tolerates  air  pollution,  and  research  shows  it  is  a  good  choice  for  rising  carbon  dioxide  levels  in  the  atmosphere.  It  UHVLVWV ¿UH ZHOO DQG HYHQ VXUYLYHG the  radiation  of  the  atomic  blast  in  Hiroshima.

Even  if  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  plants  you  may  know  this  one  from  the  supplements  sold  in  drug  stores  and  VHHQ LQ WHDV IRU YDULRXV EHQHÂżWV including  its  supposed  help  for  memory  and  the  brain.  It  is  used  in  herbal  medicine,  particularly  in  Asia  and  Europe,  for  the  brain  as  well  as  legs,  eyes,  ears  and  heart,  and  for  many  disorders  including  blood  clotting.  You  also  may  see  the  ginkgo  leaves  and  leaf  pattern  in  jewelry  and  art,  due  to  its  unique  and  lovely  shape.  The  ginkgo  is  sacred  in  China  and  Japan,  often  VHHQ RQ RIÂżFLDO ORJRV and  religious  works,  and  seen  planted  around  temples.  Although  the  straight  species  is  a  lovely  tree,  there  are  a  few  FXOWLYDUV RI JLQNJR \RX PD\ ÂżQG with  even  more  yellow  fall  color  or  more  upright  habit.  Of  the  latter  is  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fastigiata,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  or  the  male  selection  of  it,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Princeton  Sentry.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  This  reaches  about  40  feet  high  and  about  15  feet  wide,  making  it  good  along  streets  (as  long  as  not  under  power  lines).  Upright  to  50  feet  high,  but  slightly  broader  (30  feet)  than  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Princeton  Sentryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  is  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Magyar.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  Even  broader  and  very  symmetrical  in  habit  is  the  cultivar  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Halka.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  For  good  fall  color,  consider  and  look  for  the  male  cultivars  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Autumn  Goldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  or  Presidential  Gold  (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The  Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;).  Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  note:  This  piece  was  contributed  by  Dr.  Leonard  Perry,  University  of  Vermont  Extension  professor.
