By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  Middlebury  is  a  long  way  from  West  Africa,  where  the  deadly  Ebola  virus  is  spreading  rapidly,  and  a  long  way  from  Dal-­ las,  Texas,  where  Ebola  has  gained  a Â

toehold  in  the  U.S. But  with  the  town  of  Middlebury  and  Middlebury  College  being  popu-­ lar  destinations  for  international  trav-­ elers,  local  health  care  providers  and  institutions  are  taking  precautions  to Â

minimize  the  chances  of  Ebola  mak-­ ing  its  way  to  Addison  County,  while  also  setting  up  protocols  to  ensure  that  any  infected  patient  is  segregated  from  the  general  population.

By  ANDY  KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY  —  After  hearing  emotional  testimony  from  several  victims  on  Friday  morning  in  Addi-­ son  Superior  Court’s  criminal  divi-­ sion,  Judge  Robert  Mello  approved  a  plea  agreement  that  sentenced  Ray-­ mond  Ritchie,  38,  of  Addison  to  13  years  to  life  in  prison  on  each  of  a  long  list  of  counts  stemming  from  a  2012  and  2013  crime  spree.  Ritchie,  a  formerly  convicted  fel-­ on,  was  sentenced  on  three  counts  of  unlawful  trespass  by  a  habitual  of-­

fender,  one  count  of  felony  posses-­ sion  of  stolen  property  by  a  habitual  offender,  and  six  counts  of  burglary  by  a  habitual  offender.

Most  of  the  charges  stemmed  from  a  series  of  break-­ins  in  Addison  County,  many  in  his  home  town  and  others  in  neighboring  communities.

Those  who  spoke  in  support  of  the  lengthy  jail  term  emphasized  the  psychological  impact  of  the  break-­ ins  in  their  communities  and  of  the  loss  of  many  irreplaceable  keep-­ (See  Ritchie,  Page  46)

Feds  detail  dairy  program Insurance  protects  farmers  from  price  shifts VERMONT  —  The  new  Dairy  Margin  Protection  Program  (MPP-­Dairy),  which  was  established  by  the  2014  Farm  Bill,  will  pro-­ YLGH ¿QDQFLDO SURWHFWLRQ IRU GDLU\ SURGXFHUV against  losses  when  their  margin  falls  below  a  certain  dollar  amount.  Participation  is  volun-­ tary  although  farmers  must  enroll  by  Nov.  28.

How  does  MPP-­Dairy  work?

It  acts  somewhat  like  an  insurance  program  with  coverage  based  on  the  farmer’s  produc-­ tion  history.  Dairy  farmers  may  choose  how  much  coverage  they  want  for  a  minimum  return  over  feed  costs  with  protection  levels  ranging  from  $4  to  $8  per  hundredweight  over  feed  costs.  The  feed-­cost  calculation  is  based  on  a  set  formula  of  alfalfa,  corn  and  soybean  meal.

What  do  dairy  farmers  need  to  do  to  participate?

First,  they  must  document  pounds  of  milk  marketed  in  2011,  2012  and  2013  to  estab-­ lish  a  base.  Then  they  must  decide  how  much  PLON EDVH WR FRYHU 7KH ¿QDO VWHS LV WR GHFLGH how  much  margin  to  cover,  ranging  from  a  $4  to  $8  return  over  feed  costs.

So,  for  example,  if  a  farmer  wants  to  ensure  a  bottom-­line  return  of  $6.50  over  feed  costs,  the  cost  is  a  $100  administrative  fee  plus  a  graduated  fee  per  hundredweight  for  protec-­ tion  above  $4  over  feed  cost.  The  cost  will  depend  on  how  much  milk  the  dairy  farmer  produces.

If  returns  over  feed  costs  drop  below  $6.50  for  a  two-­month  period,  then  the  dairy  farmer  receives  an  indemnity  payment.  Farmers  can  insure  from  25  percent  up  to  90  percent  of  their  milk  base.

Some  major  points  to  consider: The  production  margin  farmers  are  protect-­ ing  is  the  return  over  feed  costs.  The  margin  is  measured  using  the  national  all-­milk  price  and  a  national  average  feed  cost  for  corn,  soybean  PHDO DQG DOIDOID 7KLV FDOFXODWLRQ LV ¿[HG IRU all  farms  and  is  not  based  on  local  prices.

The  cost  of  this  program  depends  on  a  farm’s  production  history,  level  of  coverage  and  percent  of  milk  base  covered.  The  premi-­

XP LV ORZHU IRU WKH ¿UVW IRXU PLOOLRQ SRXQGV of  milk.

The  program  is  divided  into  six  two-­month  time  periods  from  January/February  through  November/December.  If  the  U.S.  average  bimonthly  margin  falls  below  the  coverage  level  selected,  the  farmer  receives  the  cost  per  hundredweight  difference  on  one-­sixth  of  the  annual  quantity  of  milk  chosen  to  be  covered.  Payments  are  issued  the  following  month.

MPP-­Dairy  is  not  insurance  because  it’s  not  actuarially  sound,  meaning  indemnity  pay-­ ments  will  come  from  the  taxpayer.  It’s  also  not  a  counter-­cyclical  payment  because  it  is  not  betting.  It  is  an  attempt  by  the  U.S.  Con-­ gress  to  create  a  risk  management  program  for  dairy  farmers.

It  seems  unlikely  there  will  be  any  margin  disaster  in  2014.  But  what  about  next  year?

Will  there  be  a  drought  that  drives  up  feed  prices?  Will  some  exports  be  lost  that  have  kept  prices  up  this  past  year?  It’s  hard  to  pre-­ dict  a  disaster.  No  one  foresaw  the  2009  milk  price  catastrophe.

With  MILC  gone,  the  MPP-­Dairy  and  the  Livestock  Gross  Margin  for  Dairy  program  (LGM-­Dairy)  are  the  only  programs  that  al-­ low  dairy  farmers  to  reduce  their  risk  for  ma-­ jor  price  shifts.  In  addition,  farmers  can  take  actions  on  their  own  such  as  hedging,  options  and  forward  pricing  of  milk  and/or  feedstuffs.

LGM-­Dairy  provides  some  advantages  but  also  some  disadvantages  as  compared  to  MPP-­Dairy.  One  rule  for  farmers  to  remem-­ ber  is  that  participation  in  both  programs  at  the  same  time  is  not  allowed.  The  decision  also  rests  with  individuals  as  to  how  much  risk  they  want  to  carry.

Guest  editorial Will  free-­market  capitalism survive  our  abuse  of  it?

By  Bill  Schubart There’s  some  discussion  these  days  about  the  survival  of  free-­mar-­ ket  capitalism.  Conservatives  believe  it  suffers  from  too  much  regula-­ tion  and  taxation,  while  liberals  believe  it  needs  more  of  both.

Conservatives  argue  that  free-­market  capitalism,  left  to  its  own  de-­ vices  will  strike  a  balance  between  the  interests  of  workers  of  all  socio-­economic  classes  wanting  to  earn  a  living  and  amass  wealth,  and  the  general  economic  health  of  the  nation,  which  they  seem  to  view  separately.

Liberals  tell  us  that  today’s  capitalism  primarily  serves  the  needs  of  the  richest  while  our  fastest  growing  socio-­economic  sector  today  is  the  working  poor.

The  small-­scale  free-­market  capitalism  that  many  of  us  ageing  boomers  grew  up  with  worked  well.  After  World  War  II,  my  home-­ WRZQ ZDV D EXVWOLQJ FRPPXQLW\ RI DERXW ¿OOHG ZLWK VPDOO VKRSV and  shoppers.  Locals  understood  scarcity  yet  felt  security.  Their  com-­ plaints  about  taxes  and  regulation  were  mostly  philosophical.

Purchased  goods  had  a  different  value-­assignment  than  consumer  goods  today.  One  saved  up  to  buy  them,  scarcity  prevailed,  and  one  rarely  bought  on  impulse  or  on  credit.  Dry  goods  and  tools  were  ex-­ pected  to  endure  and  be  passed  on.

Something  changed  in  the  ’70s.  The  small-­scale  capitalism  that  had  provided  a  secure  living  and  valued  goods  disappeared.  Today,  we  discard  functioning  laptops  and  cellphones  costing  several  hundred  dollars.  Today,  local  commerce  mainly  serves  immediate  consump-­ tion  —  grocery,  pharmacy,  restaurant,  fuel.

Businesses  aggregated  in  scale  and  ownership.  Regional  malls  dot-­ ted  the  landscape  and  are  now  fast  becoming  mere  showrooms  for  e-­commerce.  Value-­creation  jobs  were  exported,  resulting  in  lowered  cost-­of-­goods  but  leaving  only  service  jobs  that  couldn’t  be  exported,  with  a  few  exceptions  like  e-­commerce  call  centers.  Free-­market  cap-­ italism  abandoned  labor  and  now  rewards  only  ownership  and  equity.

All  this  and  Kansas  call  into  question  the  conservative  axiom  that  free-­market  capitalism  with  its  relentless  demands  for  de-­regulation  DQG ORZHU WD[HV IRU MRE FUHDWRUV ZLOO ÀRDW DOO ERDWV 0DQ\ ERDWV VDQN If  there  ever  was  such  a  thing  as  American  exceptionalism,  a  gran-­ diose  term  once  applied  to  the  war  and  post-­war  period  from  Roos-­ evelt  to  Kennedy,  it’s  diminished  today.  Our  rankings  in  key  interna-­ tional  benchmarks  for  access  to  health  care,  food  security,  education,  affordable  housing,  livable-­wage  employment,  and  a  shared  potential  to  amass  wealth  have  declined  steeply,  while  the  stock  market  and  the  few  it  serves  have  prospered.  The  great  free-­market  experiment  has  not  served  us  well.

We  have  much  to  be  grateful  for  and  much  to  celebrate  in  America  today  but  there’s  danger  ahead.  If  the  current  political  impasse  per-­ sists  and  we  fail  to  participate  deeply  and  meaningfully  in  the  demo-­ cratic  process  by  researching  and  electing  leaders  who  disdain  ideo-­ ORJLFDO MRXVWLQJ DQG DUH ZLOOLQJ WR ¿QG D FHQWHU DQG OHDG XV IRUZDUG our  children  will  witness  further  decline  in  their  lifetimes.

We  need  laws,  equitable  taxation,  and  regulation.  We  need  trans-­ parency  to  deter  corruption.  Capitalism  can  indeed  serve  all  Ameri-­ cans  well  but  it  needs  rules  and  watchful  eyes.

Evelyn Jennings, 98, Bristol

EVELYN  JENNINGS BRISTOL  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Evelyn  Ford  (Gaskin)  Jennings,  98,  of  Bristol  died  peacefully  at  home  Oct.  14,  2014,  surrounded  by  family.  She  was  born  June  24,  1916,  in  Lyndonville  (though  she  has  always  said  her  birthday  was  on  the  23rd).  She  was Â

the  daughter  of  Robert  and  Dora  (Plummer)  Gaskin.

She  was  married  Aug.  28,  1938,  to  Frederick  Eugene  Jennings  Sr.,  who  predeceased  her  in  June  1986.

For  many  years  she  and  her  husband  ran  a  dairy  farm  in  Starksboro.  Her  relatives  say  she  took  great  joy  in  her  large  family.  She  was  one  of  10  chil-­ dren  and  the  last  surviving  member  of  her  family.  Her  late  husband  was  also  from  a  family  of  10  children  who  all  predeceased  her.

She  is  survived  by  her  children  Joyce  Severson  and  Marilyn  Norton  of  Bristol,  Caroline  (Conrad)  Aube  of  Monkton,  and  Ernestine  (Kirk)  Woolery,  Kenneth  Jennings  (Ann  Phelps),  and  Frederick  (Karol)  Jennings,  all  of  Barefoot  Bay,  Fla. She  was  predeceased  by  a  daugh-­ ter,  Ruth  (Cota)  Weston;͞  sons-­in-­ law  Oscar  Severson  and  Henry  Parrott;͞  and  grandsons  Frederick  and  Jonathan  Parrott.

The  funeral  service  was  at  the  Brown-­McClay  Funeral  Home  in  Bristol  at  11  a.m.  on  Saturday,  Oct.  18,  with  interment  at  Greenwood  Cemetery,  Bristol.  Memorial  dona-­ KIT  ANDERSON  WILL  give  a  free  presentation  on  her  recent  journey  to  Bhutan  on  Thursday,  Oct.  23,  at  7  tions  may  be  made  to  the  American  p.m.  at  Lawrence  Memorial  Library  in  Bristol.

In  this  free  program,  Anderson  will  discuss  her  recent  journey  to  Bhutan,  a  Buddhist  country  with  a  population  similar  to  Vermont.  Bhutan  is  a  landlocked  country  on Â

the  eastern  edge  of  the  Himalayas  and  is  bordered  by  China  to  the  north  and  India  to  the  south,  east  and  west.  Many  people  know  of  Bhutan  as  a  country  that  uses  an  index  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;gross  national  happi-­ nessâ&#x20AC;?  instead  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;gross  domestic  product.â&#x20AC;?  However,  despite  this  index,  hundreds  of  thousands  of  HWKQLF %KXWDQHVH KDYH Ă&#x20AC; HG RU EHHQ expelled  from  the  country  since  the  1990s,  and  nearly  80,000  have  resettled  in  the  United  States.  Anderson  has  wanted  to  travel  to  Bhutan  for  30  years,  ever  since  she  discovered  a  map  of  the  myste-­ rious  country  in  the  UVM  library.

Sheldon  earns  vote  of  support

Letters to the Editor Smiley  has  right  qualities  to  make  a  good  legislator I  am  happy  to  write  to  you  about  Susan  Smiley.  Susan  is  a  candidate  for  state  representative  for  New  Haven,  Bridport  and  Weybridge.

I  met  Susan  when  we  both  had  kids  in  school  and  I  liked  her  right  away.  She  was  smart,  funny,  hon-­ est,  friendly  and  generous  and  she  adored  her  family.  She  grew  organic  YHJHWDEOHV PLON EHHI Ă&#x20AC;RZHUV DQG homemade  yogurt  on  their  River  Road  farm  that  she  sold  to  markets  and  delivered  to  your  door.

As  her  kids  grew,  Susan  worked  in  businesses  and  programs  promot-­ ing  organic  farming,  services  for  farm  workers,  energy,  wild  land  and  animals,  family  farms,  health  care,  and  best  business  and  farming  practices.  I  love  her  goals:  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;un-­ lock  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  economic  develop-­ ment  potentialâ&#x20AC;?;Íž  to  promote  â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong  connections  between  families  and  schoolsâ&#x20AC;?  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;school  governance  policies  with  proven  cost  savings.â&#x20AC;?  She  is  in  favor  of  fully  funding  re-­

newable  energy  and  weatherization.

She  has  all  the  qualities  a  good  representative  needs:  intelligence,  a  cooperative  spirit  and  goodwill,  ex-­ perience  and  knowledge.  She  seeks  out,  listens  to  and  learns  from  ev-­ eryone  she  talks  to.  Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  inclusive  and  respectful,  and  a  lovely  person.

We  are  very  fortunate  to  be  able  to  vote  for  Susan  Smiley  this  No-­ vember.

Anna  Rose  Benson Weybridge

Lanpher,  Spencer  are  best  choices  in  Addison-­3 My  wife,  Louise,  and  I  spent  a  few  happy  hours  walking  up  to  the  Rattlesnake  Cliffs  near  Lake  Dun-­ more  in  the  glorious  fall  foliage  the  other  weekend.  We  could  do  this  because  the  land  we  crossed  was  public  land  that  we  all  share  in  common.

Much  of  our  current  political  discussions  so  often  involve  com-­ plaint  about  the  government  and  regulation  that  we  lose  sight  of  WKH EHQH¿W ZH VKDUH WKURXJK RXU

self  government. :KHQ , KHDU QRQ VSHFLÂżF FRP-­ plaints  about  regulation  I  wonder  what  regulations  in  particular  we  should  end.  The  environmen-­ tal  regulations  that  attempt  to  preserve  clean  water  and  air?  Safe  working  conditions?  Workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  compensation?

The  most  conservative  of  ideo-­ logues  desire  to  shrink  govern-­ ment  to  a  size  they  could  drown  in  a  bathtub.  Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  it  be  simpler Â

to  move  to  Somalia  or  Sudan?

Mount  Abraham  project  well  worth  the  investment If  I  told  you  that  you  could  invest  in  the  future,  the  fabric  and  infra-­ structure  of  your  community  for  less  than  $1  that  would  interest  you.  If  I  told  you  that  you  could  entice  potential  homebuyers  to  purchase  property  in  our  towns  and  invest  their  time,  energy,  and  money  here  in  our  community  that  would  inter-­ est  you.  If  I  told  you  that  you  could  have  a  place  that  students,  parents  and  community  members  are  proud  of  and  other  communities  were  en-­ vious  of  for  less  than  $1  that  would  interest  you.  If  I  told  you  that  you  could  create  an  inspiring  space  that  improved  student  and  staff  moral  and  could  show  improvements  in  student  achievement,  mental  health  and  behavior  for  less  than  $1  that  would  interest  you.

I  really  hope  that  I  have  your  interest.  As  a  community  we  are  in  a  position  of  opportunity.  We  have  the  chance  to  create  our  own  future.  I  have  heard  people  talk  for  years  in  this  community  about  the  state  of  the  Mount  Abraham  Union  Middle/ High  School  building.  About  the  lack  of  air  quality,  the  darkness,  lack  of  windows  and  natural  light,  the  poorly  laid  out  lobby,  the  lack  of  a  gymnasium  for  the  middle  school,  the  dilapidated  furniture.  It  is  time  to  stop  talking.  It  is  time  to  act.

I  have  been  working  with  many Â

dedicated  individuals  from  the  Five  Towns  over  that  last  3  years  to  bring  this  renovation  project  for-­ ward.  There  have  been  professional  studies,  presentations,  surveys,  community  forums,  interviews  with  stakeholders,  tours  of  the  building,  websites  created  and  more  in  an  effort  to  create  the  vision  that  the  Five  Towns  hold  for  the  next  50-­ plus  years  of  students,  community  members,  youth  groups  and  visitors  who  use  our  building.

This  project  answers  and  solves  so  many  needs  for  our  students,  teachers  and  community.  Needs  that  you  have  all  expressed  many  times  over.  Improved  safety,  better  learning  environments,  access  to  technology,  space  for  creating,  space  for  physical  education  and  sport,  space  that  will  allow  com-­ munity  members  and  groups  that  want  use  and  access  it  after  hours  the  ability  to  do  so.  A  much  more  GH¿QHG DQG VHSDUDWH PLGGOH VFKRRO area  will  be  a  result  of  this  proj-­ ect.  Handicap  accessibility,  new  furniture,  upgrades  to  IT  infrastruc-­ ture,  new  lighting  in  and  out  of  the  building,  renovated  air  quality  systems  and  heating  and  cooling  delivery.  This  plan  is  addressing  all  of  the  needs  at  once  in  an  effort  to  EH HI¿FLHQW DQG FRVW HIIHFWLYH ERWK now  and  in  the  future.

I  live  in  Bristol  and  have  three Â

sons  who  have  had  nothing  but  great  experiences  in  our  public  schools.  I  am  proud  of  my  com-­ munity  and  tell  everyone  I  can  that  Bristol  and  the  Five  Town  area  is  the  greatest  place  on  the  earth  to  live.  Our  sense  of  community,  car-­ ing  for  each  other,  and  pride  in  our  work  and  place  in  the  environment  is  evident  to  people  who  visit  and  know  us.  Our  current  educational  building  for  our  7-­12th  graders  does  not  match  what  the  rest  of  our  community  has  to  offer.  We  can  do  better.

Less  than  $1  a  day  is  what  this  bond  could  impact  most  peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  taxes.  Many  people  will  pay  much  less  due  to  income  sensitivity  in  our  tax  structure.  The  rate  goes  down  every  single  year  as  it  is  paid.  It  is  very  rare  that  you  can  see  the  im-­ pact  of  every  single  tax  dollar  you  spend.  In  this  case  you  will  see  it  in  your  community,  used  every  single  day,  to  do  all  the  things  I  stated  above.  Quite  a  return  on  your  in-­ vestment.  I  encourage  you  to  come  and  take  a  tour  of  the  building,  get  the  information,  ask  the  questions  you  need  answered.  The  needs  will  not  go  away  until  we  take  action.  I  am  ready  to  act.  I  hope  you  will  join  me.

The  time  is  now.

New  Haven  Democrat  would  serve  public  very  well :KDWHYHU \RXU SDUW\ DIÂżOLDWLRQ you  should  vote  for  Susan  Smiley.  Whatever  the  task  or  issue,  you  can  count  on  Susan  to  vote  with  integ-­ rity  for  the  good  of  all  Vermonters.  She  is  smart  and  hardworking.  Her Â

experience  in  and  out  of  agriculture  combined  with  her  business  acu-­ men  makes  her  a  great  choice.

Montpelier  needs  representatives  who  care  about  the  voters  they  rep-­ resent  and  understand  the  privilege Â

of  serving  the  public  good.  Susan  is  that  person.  When  you  cast  a  vote  for  her,  you  cast  one  for  yourself  as  well.

I  am  pleased  to  recommend  my  East  Middlebury  neighbor,  Amy  Sheldon,  to  represent  Middlebury  in  the  Vermont  House.

But  more  than  a  good  neighbor,  Amy  is  a  thoughtful,  clear  thinker,  and  in  particular  is  well  acquainted  ZLWK WKH GLIÂżFXOW HFRQRPLF LVVXHV facing  our  town,  county  and  state.  She  has  proven  herself  a  leader  on  environmental  issues,  including  her  own  resource  planning  business  and  in  her  work  for  the  Middlebury  Planning  Commission,  while  under-­ standing  as  well  the  importance  of  balancing  bread  and  butter  issues  of Â

health  care,  education,  and  economic  opportunities  for  all  of  our  citizens.

As  a  long-­term  resident  who  has  actively  served  our  community  for  many  years,  Amy  is  the  clear  choice  to  represent  our  community.  In  ad-­ dition,  Amy  understands  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  model  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freedom  and  Unity,â&#x20AC;?  that  we  are  all  in  this  together,  and  need  to  step  up  as  citizens  of  a  participant  de-­ mocracy  to  reach  a  shared  prosperity.

I  look  forward  to  seeing  Amy  lead  the  way  forward  on  the  issues  Mid-­ dlebury  residents  care  most  about.  Dawn  Saunders East  Middlebury

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time  for  a  change  in  Montpelier When  you  are  going  to  the  polls  this  fall  it  would  be  well  to  consider  WKDW XQOHVV WKHUH LV D VLJQLÂżFDQW change  in  our  state  government,  the  same  people  that  have  already  spent  over  $70  million  on  a  dysfunctional  health  care  exchange  system  will  be  planning  and  implementing  the  single-­payer  health  plan  for Â

Vermont.

These  are  also  the  same  crowd  that  siphoned  $21  million  from  the  GMP-­CVPS  merger.  The  $21  million  that  was  supposed  to  be  returned  to  the  CVPS  customers.

Students will need to have a computer capable of running Windows 7 or 8 with Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer 10.9 or Mac OS 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8 with Chrome, Safari or Firefox browser. Laptops, tablet and browser-capable smartphones are encouraged in the classroom.

A look at early childhood development on tap MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  A  sneak  peek  of  a  powerful  new  PBS  documen-­ tary,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Raising  of  America:  Early  Childhood  and  the  Future  of  Our  Na-­ tion,â&#x20AC;?  will  be  shared  in  10  Vermont  locations  during  the  last  two  weeks  of  October.  Addison  County  residents  will  have  the  opportunity  to  see  the  documentary  and  participate  in  the  local  community  conversation  on  Thursday,  Oct.  30,  from  5:30-­7:30  p.m.  at  Middlebury  Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Twilight  Auditorium.

Due  to  be  released  by  PBS  next Â

spring,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Raising  of  Americaâ&#x20AC;?  takes  an  in-­depth  look  at  how  a  strong  start  for  all  children  leads  to  greater  in-­ dividual  success  and  a  more  prosper-­ ous  and  equitable  society.  The  sneak  peek  will  be  followed  by  a  community  discussion  or  â&#x20AC;&#x153;local  takeâ&#x20AC;?  on  this  na-­ tional  issue.  These  local  conversations  will  be  led  by  business  leaders,  pedia-­ tricians,  early  childhood  professionals  and  parents  from  the  community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Science  tells  us  that  the  earliest  years  are  the  most  critical  to  our  chil-­ drenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  future  success,  and  research  has Â

First  came  the  Sept.  26  arrest  of  town  resident  Brian  D.  Lattrell,  41,  on  suspicion  of  driving  with  a  sus-­ pended  license.  Police  said  Lattrell  twice  drove  to  the  Bristol  Police  De-­ partment  in  the  preceding  days.  Two  GD\V ODWHU DQ RII GXW\ RI¿FHU VDZ Lattrell  driving.  Lattrell  will  face  three  counts  of  driving  with  a  crimi-­ nally  suspended  license  when  he  re-­ turns  to  court  Nov.  3.

Police  on  Oct.  13  arrested  town Â

resident  Randy  Joseph  Gorton,  43,  on  suspicion  of  violating  an  abuse  prevention  order.  Around  3:40  that  afternoon,  a  woman  called  police  to  report  that  Gorton  had  contacted  her,  in  violation  of  a  court  order.  Police  determined  that  a  judge  had  issued  Gorton  an  abuse  prevention  order  one  day  earlier,  and  arrested  him.  Gorton  has  three  prior  convic-­ tions  for  violating  abuse  prevention  orders  and  one  for  assault.  Because  of  his  previous  transgressions,  po-­ lice  said  prosecutors  have  upgraded  this  most  recent  charge  of  violat-­ ing  an  abuse  prevention  order  as  a Â

felony.  Gorton  was  jailed  in  lieu  of  $2,500  bail.

Later  on  Oct.  13,  Bristol  police  arrested  a  teenager  for  an  outstand-­ ing  warrant.  Police  found  Zacha-­ riah  Rusk,  19,  in  the  parking  lot  of  Champlain  Farms  around  9:40  p.m.  Rusk,  whose  address  police  did  not  disclose,  had  an  active  warrant  for  a  felony  charge  of  selling  drugs  to  a  minor  and  a  felony  charge  of  con-­ spiracy  to  sell  drugs.

Police  locked  Rusk  in  the  Chit-­ tenden  County  Correctional  Center  for  lack  of  bail.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  due  in  Addison  County  Superior  Court  at  a  later  date.

Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  children  under  the  age  of  six  have  all  parents  in  the  workforce,  which  means  they  are  likely  spending  up  to  40  hours  per  week  in  someone  elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  care.

According  to  sources  that  include  alifesto-­ ryfoundation.org  and  mayoclinic.com,  ALS  attacks  certain  cells  in  the  brain  and  the  spinal  cord  needed  to  keep  muscles  moving.   Currently,  about  30,000  U.S.  residents  have  been  diagnosed  with  ALS,  which  has  no  known Â

cause  or  cure.  Military  veterans  are  twice  as  likely  statistically  to  be  diagnosed  as  members  of  the  general  population,  regardless  of  whether  they  served  in  the  U.S.  or  abroad.  ALS  is  20  percent  more  common  in  men  than  women,  the  average  age  of  diagnosis  is  55,  and  ALS  pa-­ WLHQWV W\SLFDOO\ OLYH WZR WR ÂżYH \HDUV DIWHU WKHLU ÂżUVW VLJQV RI WKH GLVHDVH The  diseaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  most  famous  victim,  New  York  Yankee  baseball  player  Lou  Gehrig,  contracted  ALS  at  the  age  of  36  and  died  two  years  later.

MUHS  takes  1st  place  in  NVAC  meet,  to  compete  for  D-­II  title  in  Thetford By  ANDY  KIRKALDY SWANTON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Middlebury  Union  High  School  boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  cross-­ country  team  on  Saturday  won  the  NVAC  small-­school  champion-­ ship,  placing  three  runners  in  the  top  10  to  score  42  points  and  easi-­ ly  outpace  second-­place  Rice  (71).  David  Dregallo  led  the  Ti-­ ger  contingent  by  taking  third  in  17:12.7.  The  Mount  Abraham  boys  were  sixth,  with  Chris  Carter  taking  14th  in  18:19.1.  Vergennes  field-­ ed  only  four  runners  and  did  not  score  as  a  team.  Wesley  Miedema  led  VUHS  in  29th  (19:22.7) The  Tiger  girls  edged  Mount  Abe  for  second  (73-­76)  behind  first-­place  BFA-­Fairfax  (33),  with  VUHS  in  fourth  (129).  Commodore  Paige  Stolen  (sev-­ enth  in  21:52.2)  led  the  local  girls  across  the  line,  followed  by  Tiger  Katherine  Koehler  (eighth  in  21:56.9)  and  Eagle  Delaynah  Leavitt  (10th  in  22:32.3).  The  Independent  will  publish  complete  NVAC  results  in  the  Oct.  23  edition.  The  local  teams  will  compete  at  the  Division  II  state  meet  in  Thetford  on  Saturday. Â

By  ANDY  KIRKALDY VERGENNES  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Maybe  in  the  end  the  result  on  Saturday  between  the  9-­3-­2  Tigers  and  the  host  3-­11  Vergennes  Union  High  School  girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  soccer  team  is  not  so  surpris-­ ing  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  MUHS  won,  but  just  by  1-­0  and  needed  almost  74  minutes  to  score  against  the  stubborn  Commo-­ dores.

But  that  is  the  eighth  one-­goal  win  of  the  season  for  the  Tigers,  who  with  the  win  apparently  earned  the  No.  2  seed  in  Division  II  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  the  Vermont  Principalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  Association  KDG QRW \HW PDGH SDLULQJV RIÂżFLDO as  of  the  Independentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Sunday  deadline.  Coach  Wendy  Leeds  said  the  Ti-­ gers  have  worked  all  fall  for  their  wins,  the  most  for  the  program  since  the  early  1990s.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  have  made  it  happen,â&#x20AC;?  Leeds  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  put  their  heads  down  and  play  hard  no  matter  what.â&#x20AC;?

Senior  striker  Kat  Townsend,  whose  scored  the  gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  only  goal  with  6:15  to  go,  pointed  to  a  cou-­ ple  of  things  that  are  different  than  2013,  when  the  Tigers  lost  just  as  many  close  games  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  new  players  and  teamwork.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  have  a  lot  of  new  talent  this  season.  We  just  work  together  re-­ ally  well,â&#x20AC;?  Townsend  said.  Co-­coaches  Dwight  Irish  and  Pe-­ ter  Maneenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Commodores  might  be  where  the  Tigers  were  a  year  ago.  They  have  a  young  squad  that  has  lost  six  games  by  one  or  two  goals.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  through  some  growing  pains,  but  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  mak-­ ing  progress,â&#x20AC;?  Maneen  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  group  is  going  to  be  good.â&#x20AC;?

6DWXUGD\ÂśV VFRUHOHVV ÂżUVW KDOI ZDV even:  MUHS  outshot  VUHS,  7-­6,  but  the  corner  kicks  were  3-­3.  Tiger  goalie  Molly  Campbell  made  all  four  of  her  saves  before  the  break,  while  the  Commodoresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  K.C.  Am-­ brose  made  three  of  her  seven.  After  VUHS  senior  Tea  Keifer,  who  missed  the  season  with  an  in-­ jury,  started  the  game  and  immedi-­ ately  came  off,  the  Tigers  came  out  strong,  with  all  three  corner  kicks  in  the  opening  minutes.  But  the  VUHS  defense  of  senior  Sammy  Kepes  and  Tia  Hunt  (the  only  se-­ niors  on  the  roster  besides  goalie  K.C.  Ambrose),  Sara  Stearns  and  0HJDQ 5RRQH\ KHOG ÂżUP In  the  middle  of  the  period,  the  Commodores  had  their  best  stretch,  with  Kareena  Vorsteveld,  Charlotte  Haigis,  Julia  Johnson,  Caroline  Johnston,  Olivia  Hawkins  and  Felicia  Armell  creating  pres-­ sure.  Campbell  stopped  Hawkins  and  came  out  to  beat  Armell  to  a  ball  from  Hawkins  to  stop  the  best  VUHS  chances.

The  Tigers  had  their  best  chance  of  the  half  when  Townsend  shot  wide  after  taking  a  through  ball  from  Andi  Boe.  At  the  other  end  Tiger  sweeper  Kelsey  Smith  broke  up  a  late  rush  from  Vorsteveld  and  Armell  to  keep  the  half  scoreless.  The  Tiger  defense  of  Smith,  Claire  Armstrong,  Annina  Hare,  Lauren  Turner,  Marvie  Avery  and Â

Jessie  Hounchell  held  the  Com-­ modores  to  one  shot  in  the  second  half,  while  at  the  same  time  the  Tigers  started  linking  up  better  of-­ fensively.  Julia  Rosenberg,  Kess  Moulton  DQG .DWLH +ROPHV DW PLG¿HOG EH-­ gan  to  spring  the  Tiger  forwards  on  dangerous  runs,  and  the  Com-­ modore  defenders  made  a  series  of  good  plays  in  front  of  Ambrose,  whose  saves  included  a  stop  on  a  long  Boe  bid.  MUHS  broke  through  on  a  coun-­ terattack  down  the  right  side.  Arm-­ strong  sent  a  long  ball  over  the  GHIHQVH 7RZQVHQG JRW WKHUH ¿UVW broke  into  the  box,  and  from  about  12  yards  out  pounded  a  ball  into  the  upper  right  corner.

The  Tigers  possessed  most  of  WKH UHVW RI WKH ZD\ ¿QLVKLQJ ZLWK D 13-­7  advantage  in  shots.

Leeds  said  the  Commodoresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  physical  play  might  have  snapped  the  Tigers  to  life.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  felt  we  were  sleepy  for  most  of  WKH ÂżUVW KDOI DQG VWDUWHG WR JHW ÂżUHG up  a  little  bit  when  they  started  to Â

Maneen  said  the  Commodoresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  effort  on  Saturday  was  a  step  for-­ ward,  and  that  what  he  and  Irish  are  seeking  for  their  young  squad  vs.  either  MUHS  or  Mount  Abe  in  the  postseason  is  progress.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;As  long  as  we  keep  making  the  progressions  forward,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  what  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  looking  for,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  WRGD\ ZDV GHÂżQLWHO\ D SURJUHVVLRQ forward.â&#x20AC;?

Halloween  can  be  scary  for  animals By  M.  KATHLEEN  SHAW,  DVM Many  people  like  to  have  fun  during  the  Halloween  festivities,  but  our  pets  can  truly  be  frightened  by  all  of  the  noises  and  costumes.  Halloween  is  a  holiday  with  many  dangers  for  our  dogs  and  cats.

Dressing  up  is  fun  for  humans,  but  may  not  be  fun  for  our  pets.  If  your  pet  tolerates  a  costume,  keep  in  mind  your  pet  must  be  comfortable  at  all  times.  Avoid  any  costumes  that  use  rubber  bands  or  anything  that  might  constrict  circulation  or  breath-­ ing.  Likewise,  avoid  costumes  with  toxic  paints  or  dyes,  or  that  are  edible.

Costumes  on  people  can  be  equally  scary  to  pets.  Masks,  large  hats  and  other  costume  acces-­ sories  can  confuse  pets  and  may  even  trigger  territorial  instincts.  It  is  not  unusual  for  pets  to  act  protective  and  fearful  of  people  in  costumes,  even  if  they  are  normally  very  social  with  that  person.  Remember,  you  are  responsible  for  controlling  your  pet  and  ensuring  that  he  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  bite  any  guests.

Constant  visitors  to  the  door  along  with  spooky  sights  and  sounds  may  cause  pets  to  escape  and  become Â

injured  in  a  variety  of  ways.  Consider  letting  your  dog  spend  Halloween  inside  with  special  treats,  safe  and  secure.  Even  in  a  fenced  yard,  Halloween  is  not  a  good  night  for  a  dog  to  be  outside.  This  is  doubly  true  for  cats:  They  may  try  to  bolt  out  the  door  and  even  if  they  are Â

a l l o w e d  outside,  they  are  more  at  risk  for  being  hit  by  cars  GXH WR WKH KLJK WUDIÂż F IURP WULFN RU treaters.  Black  cats,  especially,  are  at  a  higher  risk  from  human  cruelty  on  Halloween.  Consider  keeping  your Â

Submit your Pet!

Losing  a  pet  or  seeing  an  unat-­ tended  animal  by  the  side  of  the  road  is  stressful  and  something  most  of  us  have  had  the  misfortune  to  experience  from  time  to  time.  For  the  staff  at  Homeward  Bound,  taking  reports  about  Lost  and  Found  animals  is  an  almost  daily  occur-­ rence  and  we  serve  many  Addison  County  towns  by  contracting  to  take  in  stray  animals  that  are  picked  up  by  Animal  Control.  Happily, Â

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to include your pet as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pet of the Weekâ&#x20AC;? simply include your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, gender, approximate age (if you know it), along with comments about the petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite activities, your favorite activity with the pet, what the pet enjoys eating, and any particular stories or incidents you might like to share concerning your pet.

Some  Halloween  decorations  can  be  unsafe  for  your  pets.  Fake  cobwebs  or  anything  resembling  string  can  be  tempting  to  cats,  lead-­ ing  to  an  intestinal  obstruction.  Candles,  even  inside  pumpkins,  can  be  easily  knocked  over,  burning  your  pet  or  even  lighting  them  (it  has  happened  before)  or  your  house  RQ Âż UH Keep  pets  away  from  all  Halloween  candy.  Most  people  know  that  choco-­ late  can  be  toxic  to  pets,  even  in  small  amounts.  However  lollipop  sticks  and  foil  wrap-­ pers  can  cause  block-­ ages  in  the  intestinal  tract.  Candy  sweetened  with  xylitol  can  cause  a  life-­threatening  drop  in  blood  sugar  if  ingested  by  a  pet.  Some  pets  can  get  an  upset  stomach  just  from  eating  a  piece  of  candy,  since  it  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  part  of  their  regular  diet.

These  simple  responsible  precau-­ tions  will  help  humans  and  pets  alike  have  a  safe  holiday.  For  more  infor-­ mation  on  how  to  make  Halloween  less  stressful  to  your  pet,  contact  your  veterinarian.

we  are  often  able  to  successfully  reunite  pets  with  their  people  as  well  as  provide  a  safe  haven  for  those  animals  in  need.

If  you  or  anyone  you  know  is  missing  a  pet,  please  urge  them  to  contact  Homeward  Bound  at  388-­1100  and  leave  a  message  on  our  Lost  and  Found  line.  We  also  encourage  people  to  post  informa-­ tion  to  the  Facebook  page  Lost  and  Found  Animals  of  Vermont.
