is  your  child.â&#x20AC;?  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  found  that  to  be  true;Íž  whenever  tragedy  befalls  a  child  these  days,  it  pains  me  more  deeply  than  before  I  had  children  of  my  own.  But  I  wonder  whether  that  saying  is  mostly  about  our  self-­ centeredness.  In  my  own  case,  it  of-­ ten  is;Íž  when  I  hear  about  unimagi-­ nable  things  happening  to  children,  I  imagine  those  things  happening  to  my  own  children  â&#x20AC;Ś  and  then  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  grateful  that  they  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.  And  while  I  truly  love  being  around  children  who  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  my  own  offspring,  if  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  honest  I  often  tend  to  size  up  other  kids  in  relation  to  my  own:  Whoa,  sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  writing  her  name  already!  Or,  Hmm,  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  as  polite  as  MY  chil-­ dren.

But  what  if,  instead  of  seeing  other  children  with  my  own  childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  face,  or  using  them  as  develop-­ mental  measuring  sticks,  I  actually  treated  them  like  my  own  children?  What  if,  when  I  came  into  contact  with  other  children  in  my  communi-­ ty,  I  noticed  their  strengths  and  told  them  how  special  they  were?  What  if  I  cheered  as  loudly  for  other  chil-­ dren  at  events  as  I  do  for  my  own?  What  if  I  were  as  available  to  help  other  children  as  I  am  for  my  own?  What  if  we  all  were?

Olivia  Scott  is  someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  child;Íž  so  are  the  children  who  bullied  her.  And  somewhere  along  the  way,  they  all  got  the  mistaken  impression  that  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  possible  for  certain  people  to  not  be  special,  to  not  matter  all  that  much.  But  everyone  is  special;Íž  and  everyone  is  fragile,  so  how  we  treat  others  matters  very,  very  much.

I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  any  real  answers  to  our  loss  of  Olivia  Scott.  But  I  sus-­ pect  that  if  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  looking  for  the  problem,  we  might  start  by  looking  at  how  we  treat  our  children  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  our  own,  and  those  in  our  community.  Are  we  modeling  compassion  and  kindness?  No  amount  of  Internet  controls  or  guidance  counselors  or  anti-­bullying  programs  are  enough  to  make  a  child  feel  like  they  matter  because  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  deeply  loved  and  unconditionally  supported.  Even  love  and  support  might  not  be  enough;Íž  from  what  I  hear,  Olivia  Scott  was  very  loved.  But  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  another  saying  I  like:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  OK  to  make  mistakes,  as  long  as  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  new  ones.â&#x20AC;?  What  happened  to  Ol-­ ivia  Scott  has  gotten  our  commu-­ nity  talking;Íž  now,  letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  try  not  to  let  it  happen  again.

Look  for  Faith  Gongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  blog,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faith  in  Vermont,â&#x20AC;?  on  addisonindepen-­ dent.com  every  other  Tuesday.

(Continued  from  Page  4A) (and  our  wishes)  by  supporting  Gaz  MÊtro  and  Vermont  Gas,  who  want  to  put  a  pipeline  through  our  state,  to  supply  fracked  gas  to  a  New  York  company.  There  is  adamant  opposi-­ tion  to  this  from  the  people  whose  lives  would  be  affected  by  this  pipeline.  Yet  most  of  our  representa-­ tives  seem  to  not  want  to  represent  our  viewpoint.

The  Shoreham  selectboard  members  in  particular  seem  to  be  refusing  to  represent  the  opinions  of  community  members  and  landown-­ ers  in  Shoreham.  Paul  Saenger,  a  Shoreham  selectman,  recently  said  in  an  Addison  Independent  article,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  selectboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  focus  will  be  to  get  the Â

best  possible  deal  for  the  town  (if  the  project  is  ultimately  permitted).â&#x20AC;?  He  also  stated  that  the  selectboard  will  not  get  involved  with  property  ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  arguments  with  Vermont  Gas  regarding  the  pipeline.

His  priority  should  be  representing  the  wishes  of  Shoreham  landowners  and  residents.  The  best  deal  for  the  town  would  be  NO  PIPELINE.  We  do  not  want  this  pipeline.  When  we  vote  for  people  to  represent  us,  we  expect  them  to  do  so.  Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  that  their  job?

Cornwall  also  has  expressed  their  opposition  to  the  pipeline,  and  their  town  government  is  doing  a  great  job  in  supporting  this.  They  have  fought  against  this  pipeline  (and  continue  to  ¿JKW LW EHFDXVH &RUQZDOOœV FRPPX-­

nity  members  asked  them  to.

I  hope  everyone  will  look  at  who  is  representing  them  on  all  levels,  and  decide  if  they  are  actually  representing  their  people,  or  if  they  have  their  own  agendas,  which  do  not  include  representing  our  opin-­ ions.  If  your  representatives  are  not  doing  their  jobs  by  representing  your  opinion,  please  remember  that  in  the  next  election.

As  far  as  the  pipeline  goes,  I  hope  Vermonters  in  general  will  decide  that  our  Vermont  values  are  not  for  VDOH $QG , KRSH RXU HOHFWHG RI¿FLDOV either  represent  our  values,  or  get  out  of  the  way  for  someone  who  will.

Seriously,  for  our  greater  prosper-­ ity  there  is  no  substitute  for  the  en-­ trepreneurial  spirit,  for  those  with  inspiration  who  are  willing  to  fol-­ low  through  with  the  perspiration  to  make  their  ideas  become  reality,  thus  creating  prosperity  for  many  more  than  themselves.  In  todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  jargon,  these  folks  are  the  job  creators.  But  as  greater  thinkers  in  history  have  noted,  a  central  problem  with  capitalism  is  that  capital  tends  to  accumulate  into  the  hands  of  fewer  and  fewer  over  time  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  immediately  after  the  recession,  the  richest  20  percent  in  the  United  States  owned Â

93  percent  of  the  nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  wealth,  ac-­ cording  to  one  source.

Those  with  that  wealth  are  us-­ ing  it  to  accumulate  more  by  doing  their  best,  as  they  have  for  more  than  a  century,  to  enter  politics  in  order  to  limit  government  power  to  regulate  their  businesses,  how  they  deal  with  their  workers,  make  their  products  safer,  and  treat  the  envi-­ ronment.  This  goal  is  really  what  all  Tea  Party  and  other  right-­wing  political  rhetoric  is  about,  and  what  citizens  should  keep  in  mind  when  listening  to  the  noise.

here  costumes,  I  will  dress  up  as  a  middle-­aged  woman  in  a  sweatshirt  DQG Ă&#x20AC;DQQHO ORXQJH SDQWV 0DUN DQG I  will  crash  on  the  couch,  watch  a  movie,  and  pig  out  on  the  Snickers  bars  we  bought  on  the  laughable  pretense  that  we  might  get  trick-­or-­

treaters  this  year.

I  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  look  like  a  sexy  anything.  Who  cares?  At  least  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  no  chance  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  mistaken  for  an  outhouse.  Call  me  a  party  pooper,  but  I  consider  that  a  happy  Halloween.

Clippings (Continued  from  Page  4A) ing  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  economy.  Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  reason  WKH ÂżQDQFLDO UHJXODWLRQ ODZ KDV EHHQ called  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dodd-­Frankenstein.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Note  the  blame  shift  to  the  govern-­ ment  (the  mortgage  agencies  Fannie  Mae  and  Freddie  Mac  have  federal  ties),  and  the  complaint  about  even  modest  regulation.

Now,  I  want  to  make  clear  I  am  completely  in  favor  of  capitalism.  In  most  of  the  world,  even  here,  I  am  a  moderate  who  believes  in  a  regulat-­ ed  free  market  with  an  adequate  so-­ cial  safety  net.  Those  beliefs  do  not  make  me  a  wild-­eyed  pinko  radical.

Raymond (Continued  from  Page  4A) dance  this  Saturday.  It  was  a  sweet  gesture,  but  he  obviously  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  us  very  well.  For  one  thing,  the  event  starts  at  8  p.m.,  a  time  at  which  I  am  typically  brushing  my  teeth  and  forcing  myself  to  stay  up  another  hour  and  a  half  so  as  not  to  appear  uncool.  (I  do  have  an  image  to  maintain.)  Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  worse,  the  dance  runs  until  midnight,  which,  according  to  people  who  have  actually  experienced  it,  is  the  hour  after  11  p.m.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  take  their  word  on  that.

And  last  but  not  least,  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  costume  contest.  I  just  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

So  Saturday  night,  while  a  couple  hundred  wild  partiers  are  staying  up  late  to  laugh  and  dance  and  show  off  their  sexy  insert-­any-­noun-­

Learn to be on time; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gift to yourself and your community An  old  friend  of  mine  shared  some  thoughts  about  punctuality.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early  is  on  time,  on  time  is  late,  and  late  is  unacceptable!â&#x20AC;?  This  was  my  friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  philosophy  about  getting  her  daughter  to  her  youth  symphony  rehearsals  on  time.  Or  rather,  early.  Because  if  you  want  to  truly  be  on  time,  you  must  arrive  early.  In  our  yoga  tradition,  each  class  begins  with  the  chanting  of  the  sound  om,  followed  by  the  Invocation  to  Sage  Patanjali,  who  was  the  compiler  of  the  Yoga  Sutras,  the  essential  teachings  of  yoga  philosophy.  It  is  powerful  to  experience  the  way  chanting  draws  us  together  as  a  group  of  practitioners.  Beginning  students  may  not  understand  why  we  start  each  class  this  way,  but  they  are  easily  able  to  experience  the  calm  and  focus  that  the  sound  evokes.

Unfortunately,  students  arriv-­ ing  late  to  class  miss  this  impor-­ tant  start  to  the  practice.  They  are  greeted  by  a  sign  that  says,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stop!  Do  you  hear  chanting?  If  so, Â

B

efore I developed the life skill of arriving on time, I would always push everything to the last possible moment. If I knew I could bike to the yoga studio in 15 minutes, and the class started at 6, I would leave my house at 5:45.

please  wait   until  chanting  ends,  and  then  enter  the  room  quietly.â&#x20AC;?

In  my  early  20s,  when  I  first  discovered  yoga,  I  often  had  a  very  difficult  time  getting  myself  to  class,  or  actually  anywhere,  on  time.  It  was  a  life  skill  I  had  not  yet  developed.  I  hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  yet  learned  that  arriving  on  time  for  a  6  p.m.  yoga  class  means  entering  the  yoga  studio  several  minutes  before  six  oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock.  Because  we  need  time  to  take  off  our  shoes,  set  up  our  mat  in  the  yoga  room,  and  maybe  some  extra  time  for  chang-­ ing  clothes  or  using  the  bathroom.

Before  I  developed  the  life  skill  of  arriving  on  time,  I  would  always  push  everything  to  the  last  possible  moment.  If  I  knew  I  could  bike  to  the  yoga  studio  in  15  minutes,  and  the  class  started  at  6,  I  would  leave  my  house  at  5:45.  So  I  would  be  the  breath-­ less,  flustered  person  rushing  into  the  studio  and  looking  for  a  place  to  put  my  mat  right  when  the  teacher  was  getting  ready  to  begin  the  lesson.

Like  a  good  story,  yoga  class  has  a  beginning,  a  middle  and  an  end.  It  is  best  not  to  miss  any  of  these  parts.

My young son â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bronzed and high-spirited â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Plunged into the cold fathoms of the Aquamarine sea that gently painted The black lava stones on the shore.

In the depths, the sunlight entangled him As he searched for where nature ;XZW]\ML Q\[ IJ]VLIVKM <PMZM Ã&#x2020;WI\QVO Like a joyous expectation, he touched A living rainbow and merged with the sea.

He rose to the surface and rubbed the wonder From his wide, bright eyes.

Vergennes (Continued  from  Page  1A) to  sell  naming  rights  to  the  bricks  to  support  the  project,  a  fundraising  tactic  that  worked  well  during  the  renovation  of  Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Town  Hall  Theater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That  money  will  at  least  pay  for  the  materials,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.

Aldermen  all  said  they  approved  of  the  concept,  but  said  they  would  like  to  work  out  something  to  ac-­ count  for  the  two  lost  parking  plac-­ es.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put  me  down  for  a  brick,â&#x20AC;?  said  Alderman  Joe  Klopfenstein,  before  adding,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  worry  about  the  parking.  The  fewer  people  that  cross  Main  Street,  the  better.â&#x20AC;?

Klopfenstein  suggested  a  pedestri-­ an-­activated  light  that  would  allow  them  to  cross  safely  to  city  hall  from  parking  spots  on  the  other  side  of  Main  Street.  Alderman  Randy  Ouellette  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having  the  marquee  further  out  would  be  nice,â&#x20AC;?  and  he  suggested  15-­minute  parking  limits  for  nearby  spots  that  would  tend  to  keep  them  available  for  city  hall  visitors.

Alderman  Lowell  Bertrand  also  said  he  liked  the  project,  and  he  not-­ ed  that  because  now  police  cruisers  typically  park  in  those  spaces  they  are  rarely  available  to  the  public;Íž  therefore,  he  said,  their  loss  would  not  be  that  great. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  used  much  for  parking  anyway,â&#x20AC;?  Bertrand  said.

Smart  said  FVOH  and  project  de-­ signer  Norm  LeBoeuf  hoped  to  off-­

set  the  loss  of  the  parking  places  by  adding  at  least  one  handicap  spot  in  the  alley  between  city  hall  and  the  church  next  door.  Smart  said  that  space  would  offer  easier  handicap  access  to  the  building  than  the  cur-­ rent  curbside  space.

City  Manager  Mel  Hawley  said  such  an  arrangement  would  also  have  WR EH DSSURYHG E\ FKXUFK RIÂżFLDOV however,  and  also  said  the  project  design  would  have  to  be  careful  not  to  have  the  marquee  block  sight  lines  from  the  alleys  on  either  side  of  city  hall.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vision  is  a  concern,â&#x20AC;?  Hawley  said.

Hawley  also  cautioned  the  curb  height  at  Main  Street  should  not  be  higher  than  the  standard  seven  inch-­ es  to  protect  against  falls.  Alderman  Renny  Perry  said  he  would  like  to  see  plans  include  a  spot  where  visitors  could  be  dropped  off  safely.  Perry  also  suggested  replant-­ ing  the  trees  now  in  front  of  city  hall  on  the  city  green  and  replacing  them  with  lower  shrubs.  But  he  spoke  in  favor  of  the  concept. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  the  plaza  is  a  good  idea,â&#x20AC;?  Perry  said.   Perry  also  addressed  city  hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  interior,  saying  to  general  council  agreement  that  once  police  have  moved  to  their  new  station  what  is  QRZ &KLHI *HRUJH 0HUNHOÂśV RIÂżFH should  be  turned  over  to  the  opera  house  for  use  as  a  ticket  booth  and  RIÂżFH VSDFH DQG ZKDW LV QRZ WKH SD-­ trol  room  could  be  meeting  space  for Â

that  the  parking  questions  should  be  parking  options. addressed  and  cost  estimates  pinned  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  there  is  a  consensus  to  down  in  the  weeks  to  come.  He  sug-­ take  it  to  the  next  step,â&#x20AC;?  Benton  said. gested  LeBoeuf  and  Smart  should  Smart  said  she  would  be  happy  to  PHHW ZLWK FLW\ RIÂżFLDOV DQG JR RYHU VLW GRZQ ZLWK RIÂżFLDOV DQG WLH XS WKH

loose  ends.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  already  started  to  come  up  with  some  solutions,â&#x20AC;?  Smart  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;which  is  a  great  example  of  how  well  we  work  together.â&#x20AC;?

aid  toward  a  total  $7.5  million  proj-­ ect  to  erect  a  new  municipal  building  at  77  Main  St.,  in  place  of  the  col-­ legeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Osborne  House,  which  would  be  relocated  to  a  town-­owned  parcel  on  Cross  Street.  The  plan  also  calls  for  a  new  recreation  center  to  be  built  off  Mary  Hogan  Drive.  In  return  for  its  contribution,  the  college  would  receive  the  current  municipal  build-­ LQJ J\P VLWH DW WKH LQWHUVHFWLRQ RI South  Main  and  College  streets.  The  town  would  clear  that  site,  which  would  be  maintained  by  the  college Â

as  a  park.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  deal  that  has  drawn  criticism  from  some  area  residents,  includ-­ ing  Bingham  and  some  signers  of  WKH 2FW FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW RI LQWHUHVW FRP-­ plaint.  Opponents  have  been  urging  the  selectboard  to  decline  the  college  offer  and  to  rebuild  the  municipal  building  and  recreation  structures  at  their  current  location.

The  selectboard  discussed  the  con-­ Ă&#x20AC;LFW RI LQWHUHVW FRPSODLQW LQ RSHQ session  on  Tuesday,  and  also  held  a  vote  on  whether  Shashokâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  and  Nu-­

hat a glorious autumn we have had - lingering warmth, gorgeous colors and crystal clear blue skies. We might almost fool ourselves into feeling that winter is far away!

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to let the summer go and according to the Chinese medical model autumn can therefore be a time of grieving which can affect your respiratory system. This is a great time to strengthen your lungs and your immune system.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  project  that  drew  opposition  from  residents  in  the  Mead  Lane,  Butternut  Ridge  Drive,  Drew  Lane,  Lindale  Circle  and  Route  116  areas  who  claimed  the  gravel  pit  opera-­ tion  would  bring  dust,  toxic  fumes  and  noise  pollution  to  a  residential  area,  as  well  as  set  up  the  potential  for  collisions  between  trucks  enter-­ ing/exiting  the  site  and  motorists  and  cyclists  negotiating  busy  Route  116.

The  Fenns  appealed  the  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  de-­ nial  to  the  Vermont  Environmental  Court,  which  last  fall  ruled  in  favor  of  the  Middlebury  DRB.  The  Fenns  then  appealed  the  Environmental  Court  decision  to  the  Vermont  Su-­ preme  Court  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  which  also  sided  with  the  town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  am  thrilled,â&#x20AC;?  said  neighbor  Vir-­ ginia  Heidke,  one  of  dozens  of  area  residents  who  spoke  against  the  proj-­ ect  during  several  Development  Re-­ view  Board  meetings  over  the  course  of  more  than  a  year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  huge  sense  of  relief,  and  a  strong  sense  that  our  commu-­ nity  efforts  were  well  worth  it.â&#x20AC;?

The  Supreme  Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  nine-­page  decision,  written  by  Associate  Jus-­ tice  John  A.  Dooley,  was  unanimous.

one  trip  every  12  minutes,  with  load-­ ed  trips  averaging  about  one  every  24  minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Applicants  have  not  cited  any  law  or  authority  or  advanced  any  argu-­ ment  to  support  their  claim,  nor  have  we  discovered  any  basis  to  conclude  that  the  DRB  may  not  rely  on  the  maximum  number  of  trips  in  assess-­ ing  the  projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  impact  on  the  char-­ acter  of  the  area,â&#x20AC;?  the  court  ruled.

Again,  the  court  sided  with  the  town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although  applicants  maintain  that  this  (DRB)  conclusion  was  based  solely  on  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unfounded  con-­ jecture  and  hyperboleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  of  area  resi-­ GHQWV LW ÂżQGV DGHTXDWH VXSSRUW LQ the  record,  including  the  testimony  of  applicantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  own  expert,  who  ac-­ knowledged  that  trucks  traveling  on  or  near  Route  116  would  measure  over  70  decibels  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;as  they  go  by  your  house,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  the  court  ruled.

Ted  Dunakin,  Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  di-­ rector  of  planning  and  zoning,  said  the  decision  demonstrates  that  the  DRBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;on-­the-­recordâ&#x20AC;?  review  pro-­ cess  can  withstand  the  test  of  a  major  legal  challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  now  know  that  if  we  do  things  properly  during  the  hearing  process  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  gather  all  the  information  and  make  an  educated  decision  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  that  it  will  be  supported  by  the  courts,â&#x20AC;?  Dunakin  said.

Is oil undercoating recommended?

Angie at Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto: Absolutely. With the kind of winters we have here and the amount of salt on the roads â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can really extend the life of your car by undercoating it.

Randy at Randyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Service Center: It can be a good idea for cars that have a lot of exposed metal on the underside as it does slow the rust considerably. However, it might not be right for newer cars with a lot of plastic covers and exposed electrical parts that could be damaged from the undercoating.

Q & A

What does the check engine light actually mean? Should I rush it straight to the mechanic?

Jacob at Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto: Typically when the check engine light comes on it has to do with emissions. In 1996 the federal government passed a law stating that automakers had to standardize diagnostic trouble codes and create systems compliant with emissions standards.

Computerized controls in your vehicle now indicate when those standards are not being met, which is when the check engine light comes on.

While it typically is not an indication of catastrophic failure of your engine, your car cannot pass inspection with the check engine light on, and it likely means a EUHDFK LQ D Ă&#x20AC;OWUDWLRQ V\VWHP Look at your service manual to see if there is an obvious reason your check engine light may be on (the gas cap not on is a popular one), or bring it to the mechanic to ensure the engine is in proper operating order.

Is it worth replacing something major on a car WKDW LV \HDUV ROG RU DW ZKDW SRLQW LV LW QRW ZRUWK Ă&#x20AC;[LQJ EXW EHWWHU WR VWDUW DQHZ" Jacob at Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto: &OXWFK ZRUN DQG RWKHU K\GUDXOLF UHSDLUV DUH KLJKO\ YDULDEOH <RX ZRXOG KDYH WR KDYH WKH VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F issue diagnosed because it could be as little as a small part $20 part and an hour of labor or as major as repairing the whole system. The best advice is to bring it to a mechanic and have it checked out.

How much different are the really expensive winter tires versus the less expensive ones? I know high quality usually costs more, but the range seems pretty extreme. Can you explain?

Steve at County Tire Center: Higher priced tires have low rolling resistance, which makes the tire roll smoothly and increases your mileage. Tires made by Nokian use higher canola oil content, which increases the tireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grip and traction in winter conditions and is more durable. It also KDV DQ HQYLURQPHQWDO EHQHĂ&#x20AC;W UHSODFLQJ highly aromatic oils that are damaging to the environment and are known carcinogens.

They are also tested in true winter conditions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; north of the Arctic circle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on proven winter track, versus in an ice rink, as less expensive and less reliable tires often are.

Why do cars have a hard time starting when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold? Also, is it true that you should you run your engine for a few minutes to let it â&#x20AC;&#x153;warm upâ&#x20AC;? when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold out, or is that a myth?

Stacy & Tommy at Foster Motors Service Center: Yes, when it is cold itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to let your car run for 5 or 10 minutes before moving. It gets the oil DQG RWKHU Ă XLGV ZDUP and moving through all of the systems properly, allowing all of the moving parts in your engine to turn freely. This is most important when temperatures drop below freezing and cars sit long enough to fully cool down.

I am in the market for a new car and the most important feature to me is the safety for my kids and family.

Each dealer seems to think their cars are the safest on the market, but is there an unbiased resource that compares across the market?

Craig at Foster Motors: Safercar.gov is an independent, government sponsored website that provides unbiased safety ratings for vehicles and is probably the best resource to follow. It is run through the 1DWLRQDO +LJKZD\ 7UDIĂ&#x20AC;F Safety Association and provides a star rating system that ranks cars based on multiple crash tests (front, sides, rear, etc).

Monroney stickers are labels required in the United States for all new vehicles OLVWLQJ RIĂ&#x20AC;FLDO LQIRUPDWLRQ about the car. Safety information is included in Monroney labels, which offers another way to compare safety information across markets.

Does oil REALLY need to be changed every 3000 miles?

Tyler at Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auto: Yes, if you are using petroleum-based oil.

Not changing your oil wears your motor parts out faster. The detergents and cleaning agents mixed in the oil break down over time, causing your oil to get dirty and lose their function in keeping the motor well lubricated.

Dirt and other byproducts are Ă&#x20AC;OWHUHG RXW VR WKH\ GR QRW ZHDU on the engine, but changing oil regularly is important for this system to function (this is why checking the cleanliness of your oil with a dipstick can help you remember to change your oil).

If you get tired of changing your oil so frequently, consider changing to synthetic oil, which only has to be changed every 5,000 miles. Synthetic oil applies a thinner barrier on the moving parts, but the lubrication properties are higher for most motors, allowing it to last longer.

What is the actual difference between the different gas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; regular, premium, etc? What does the high or low octane level mean?

Does it make your car run better, gas mileage increase, or some other measurable gain?

Randy at Randyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Service Center: Higher grades of gasoline with higher octane levels burn cleaner.

That means they are cleaner for the exhaust system as well as other parts of the car in most cases.

What is the most important routine maintenance that I can do for my car to help it last longer and perform more highly?

Stacy & Tommy at Foster Motors Service Center: 1. Â Change oil and Ă&#x20AC;OWHU DQG OXEH every 3,000 miles 2. Â Perform a basic safety check every 3,000 miles Randy at Randyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Service Center: Preventative maintenance is the most important â&#x20AC;&#x201D; regular oil changes, routine tire rotations (to check the brakes and suspension systems), and whatever other routine maintenance is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer can help keep an eye on the regular systems and the issues that may arise allowing you to catch a problem before it LV WRR ODWH WR Ă&#x20AC;[

Then,  perhaps  most  recognizably,  the  pink  ribbon  emerged  as  a  symbol  representing  breast  cancer  aware-­ ness  and  research.  It  was  developed  largely  through  the  Susan  B.  Komen  for  the  Cure  foundation.  The  Middlebury  company  Beau  Ties  Ltd.   is  one  lo-­ cal  company  that  has  embraced  an  opportunity  to  sup-­ port  several  charitable  causes  through  a  marketing  pro-­ gram  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ties  for  a  Causeâ&#x20AC;?  that  donates  25  percent  of  the  gross  revenue  of  designated  ties  to  chosen  foundations.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  a  part  of  our  corporate  culture  to  give  and  makes  us  feel  good  as  much  as  it  makes  our  customers  feel  good,â&#x20AC;?  says  Cy  Tall,  chief  marketing  coor-­ dinator  for  Beau  Ties.  Tall  says  supporting  local,  as  well  as  national,  campaigns  has  always  been  a  part  of  the  program  at  Beau  Ties,  since  the  companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  start  under  Bill  Kenerson  in  1993.  The  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ties  for  a  Causeâ&#x20AC;?  pro-­ gram  was  launched  with  the  pink  ribbon  tie  in  2010,  featur-­ â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hardest ing  a  navy  bow  tie  with  pink  part about giving ribbons  printed  on  the  fabric. is choosing Throughout  Octoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Na-­ what to support. tional  Breast  Cancer  Aware-­ We keep some ness  Month,  Beau  Ties  has  the same, like featured  this  original  pat-­ tern,  as  well  as  about  a  dozen  the breast other  pink  bow  ties,  neckties,  cancer ties, scarves  and  other  products,  and we switch helping  to  support  the  Breast  some smaller Cancer  Research  Foundation.  organizations in At  an  average  retail  price  of  $45-­$65  per  tie,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  about  and out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cy Tall $13.75  donated  from  each  sale  to  this  charitable  cause.  Look-­ ing  back  over  the  past  year,  Tall  says  Beau  Ties  has  been  able  to  donate  about  $1,000  to  the  Breast  Cancer  Re-­ search  Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  hardest  part  about  giving  is  choosing  what  to  support,â&#x20AC;?  Tall  says.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  keep  some  the  same,  like  the  breast  cancer  ties,  and  we  switch  some  smaller  organiza-­ tions  in  and  out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  try  to  choose  one  organization  to  support  for  each  cause  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  even  though  we  would  love  to  be  able  to  give  to  everyone  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  so  we  can  make  a  meaningful  contribution  to  the  cause,â&#x20AC;?  Tall  explained.  Currently,  Beau  Ties  is  supporting  eight  causes  with  the  Ties  for  a  Cause  program,  choosing  one  charitable  EHQHÂżFLDU\ IRU HDFK FDXVH 0RVW RI WKH FDXVHV DUH UHSUH-­ VHQWHG ZLWK D ÂłULEERQ WLH ´ XVLQJ D VSHFLÂżF FRORUHG ULE-­ bon  to  design  a  fabric  for  these  special  ties  (light  blue  ribbons  on  a  navy  tie  support  the  Prostate  Cancer  Foun-­ dation,  gold  ribbons  on  a  navy  tie  support  the  Ronald  McDonald  House,  etc.).  Beau  Ties  is  largely  a  mail  order  and  online  business,  with  only  about  2  percent  of  its  sales  coming  directly  out  of  its  onsite  retail  shop  in  Middlebury.  However,  with  15  employees  hand-­making  the  35,000-­45,000  ties  it  sells  annually  and  another  nine  employees  working  at  WKH 0LGGOHEXU\ RIÂżFH 7DOO VD\V WKH FRPSDQ\ LV SURXG to  be  a  strong  part  of  the  local  community  as  well  as  the  larger  community.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  sense  of  community  at  this  small  company  is  very  pervasive,â&#x20AC;?  she  says.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  we  dropped  the  Ties  for  a  Cause  campaign  tomorrow  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  not  sure  it  would  account  for  a  hugely  measurable  loss  in  sales,  but  I  know  our  employees  would  complain  and  I  think  a  lot  of  custom-­ ers  would  too.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  something  that  has  connected  us  more  closely  to  different  groups  of  people,  which  is  important  to  us.â&#x20AC;?
