House  candidates  in  Bristol  area  debate By  JOHN  FLOWERS BRISTOL  —  More  than  60  peo-­ ple  showed  up  at  Bristol’s  Holley  Hall  this  past  Wednesday  evening  to  hear  a  debate  between  the  candidates  vying  for  the  two  seats  representing  the  Addison-­4  House  district.

The  debate,  sponsored  by  the  Ad-­ dison  Independent,  featured  partici-­ pation  of  all  four  Addison-­4  hope-­ fuls:  Incumbent  Democrats  Mike  Fisher  of  Lincoln  and  Dave  Sharpe  of  Bristol,  and  Republican  challeng-­ ers  Fred  Baser  of  Bristol  and  Valerie  Mullin  of  Monkton.  The  Addison-­4  district  includes  the  towns  of  Bristol, Â

Monkton,  Starksboro  and  Lincoln.

The  candidates  addressed  a  variety  of  questions  ranging  from  property  tax  reform  to  the  state’s  new  solid  waste/recycling  law,  Act  148.  They  were  also  asked  a  handful  of  ques-­ tions  from  a  very  attentive  crowd.

Baser  and  Mullin  touted  their  re-­ spective  backgrounds  in  business  as  potential  assets  if  elected  to  the  House.  Sharpe  and  Fisher  said  their  experience  under  the  Golden  Dome  would  allow  them  to  get  results  for  constituents.  Sharpe  is  a  ranking  member  of  the  House  Ways  and  (See  Debate,  Page  22)

6XQ&RPPRQ ÀRDWV SODQ IRU FRPPXQLW\ VRODU Says  it  will  be  sensitive  on  siting  arrays By  ZACH  DESPART WALTHAM  —  Weather-­wise,  this  past  Thursday  wasn’t  the  best  day  to  announce  a  major  solar  project.  It  was,  in  fact,  nearly  the  worst  —  40  degrees,  gusting  winds,  overcast  skies  and  a  downpour  that  showed  no  signs  of  re-­ lenting.

But  SunCommon  co-­founder  Duane  Peterson  was  determined  to  prevent  Mother  Nature  from  ruining  his  big  day  —  when  his  company  would  announce  a  new  wave  of  so-­ lar  arrays  priced  to  encourage  wider  adoption  of  solar  power  and  sited  in  smaller  footprints  that  may  garner  more  community  support.

Standing  in  front  of  a  one-­acre  so-­ ODU DUUD\ LQ D PXGG\ ÂżHOG RII 5RXWH 7  in  Waltham,  he  was  even  upbeat  as  KH DQQRXQFHG WKH :DWHUEXU\ ÂżUPÂśV launch  of  the  Vermont’s  largest  com-­ munity  solar  program,  which  he  called  a  CSA,  or  community  supported  array. “The  system  behind  us  is  SunCom-­ PRQÂśV ÂżUVW FRPPXQLW\ VRODU DUUD\ WKH birth  of  an  innovative  new  program  in  the  effort  to  build  an  independent  energy  future  for  Vermont,â€?  he  said,  standing  in  front  of  the  666-­panel  so-­ lar  array.

What  exactly  is  a  community  solar  array,  or  CSA?  Like  any  other  array  LWÂśV D ÂżHOG IXOO RI VRODU SDQHOV FRQ-­ nected  to  the  power  grid.  What’s  dif-­ ferent  is  that  residents  can  purchase  a  percentage  of  the  array  to  offset  or Â

eliminate  their  monthly  electric  bill.  Each  of  SunCommon’s  arrays  will  occupy  about  one  acre  and  have  the  capacity  to  generate  150  kilowatts,  enough  energy  to  power  30  homes  annually.  The  company  plans  to  build  enough  arrays  around  the  state  over  the  next  two  years  to  provide  electric-­ ity  for  2,000  Vermonters.

Peterson  explained  that  he  and  James  Moore  founded  SunCommon  in  2012  to  solve  a  problem  plaguing  many  Vermonters:  They  wanted  to  go  solar,  but  it  was  too  expensive.  Even  if  people  had  the  cash,  often  their  roofs  were  not  big  enough,  or  faced  the  ZURQJ GLUHFWLRQ WR KRVW D ¿QDQFLDOO\ viable  solar  array.

Landowners  that  host  CSAs  pay  no  upfront  costs  to  construct  the  array.  They  also  receive  a  monthly  stipend  IURP 6XQ&RPPRQ 5HVLGHQWV ZKR join  a  CSA  pay  a  monthly  fee.  Pe-­ terson  said  SunCommon  offers  CSA  memberships  to  residents  near  the  ar-­ UD\V ¿UVW VR WKH\ FDQ EHQH¿W IURP D utility  project  in  their  town.

SITING  SOLAR  ARRAYS Peterson  said  that  SunCommon  is  also  committed  to  maintaining  good  relations  with  neighbors  and  towns.  He  unveiled  what  he  called  a  “good  neighbor  agreementâ€?  that  outlines  the  company’s  goals  to  that  end. “This  agreement  follows  our  core  principles  and  makes  clear  our  com-­ mitments  to  the  communities  we  seek Â

This  summer,  a  SunCommon  CSA  approved  by  the  Public  Service  Board  to  be  sited  in  a  residential  area  in  New  Haven  caused  a  stir  among  neighbors.  Peterson  said  the  company  erred  by  not  presenting  the  project  to  the  town, Â

and  promised  to  do  so  in  the  future.

Peterson  acknowledged  that  while  KH GRHVQÂśW ÂżQG VRODU DUUD\V WR EH XQ-­ appealing,  beauty  is  in  the  eye  of  the  beholder.  He  said  SunCommon  will  mitigate  any  potential  eyesores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  get  that  the  10-­foot-­tall  com-­ munity  solar  arrays  are  not  to  every-­ oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  liking,â&#x20AC;?  Peterson  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  seek  to  plant  CSAs  with  care  for  the  view Â

Guest  editorial

Valuing  the  right  to  vote By  Mark  K.  Kerr Dr.  Ashraf  Ghani,  newly  elected  president  of  Afghanistan,  now  presides  over  a  troubled,  Texas-­sized  nation  of  30  million  people,  ravaged  by  more  than  30  years  of  war.  Ghani  received  54  percent  of  the  votes  cast,  and  58  percent  of  Afghanis  who  were  allowed  to  vote  did  cast  ballots  (7,000,000  of  the  12,000,000  eligible  voters).  Of  those  who  voted,  37  percent  were  women,  an  unprecedented  number,  in  this,  only  the  second  election  based  on  the  newly  revised  constitution  of  2004  that  provides  for  a  democrati-­ cally  elected  president  and  national  assembly.

As  a  student  of  and  visitor  to  Afghanistan,  who  has  watched  this  war-­ruined  country  struggle  for  more  than  60  years,  I  am  thrilled  to  see  Afghanistan  come  into  its  own.  Though  I  am  fully  aware  of  the  challeng-­ HV DQG REVWDFOHV 3UHVLGHQW *KDQL DQG &KLHI ([HFXWLYH 2IÂżFHU $EGXOODK Abdullah  have  before  them.  As  Jason  Elliotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  book  title  declared  in  1999:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;An  Unexpected  Lightâ&#x20AC;?  shines  in  Afghanistan  today.

This  is  Afghanistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  new  beginning  for  a  populace  where  65  percent  are  under  the  age  of  30.  Talented  and  educated  young  men  and  women  who  are  champing  at  the  bit  to  get  started  as  carpenters,  entrepreneurs,  brick  layers,  ditch  diggers,  doctors,  lawyers,  public  health  nurses  and  teachers,  rebuilding  their  beloved  country  to  which  they  are  dedicated,  where  in  just  10  years  the  school  children  numbers  (both  girls  &and  boys)  KDYH VRDUHG IURP WR PRUH WKDQ PLOOLRQ 7KLUW\ ÂżYH WKRXVDQG study  at  Kabul  University  in  liberal  arts,  education,  public  health,  medi-­ cine,  engineering  and  law.

President  Ghani,  who  co-­authored  in  2009  the  extraordinarily  practical  and  revealing  book,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fixing  Failed  States:  A  Framework  for  Rebuilding  a  Fractured  World,â&#x20AC;?  has  a  plan.  My  question  and  reason  for  this  commentary:  We,  in  the  United  States,  have  a  midterm  election  coming  up  on  Tuesday,  Nov.  4.  Our  Constitution  has  been  in  place  since  1776.  For  300  years,  Americans  have  had  the  right  to  vote.   Unfortunately,  only  131,144,000  or  57.1  percent,  the  highest  level  in  four  decades,  of  eligible  voters  cast  ballots  in  the  2008  presidential  elec-­ tion;Íž  only  36.9  percent  voted  in  the  2010  midterm  contest.  Our  percentages  are  not  that  good.  Are  Americans  less  passionate  about  the  needs  of  our  state  and  country  than  Afghans  are  about  theirs?

So,  if  we  are  displeased  with  the  inertia  of  our  government  in  dealing  with  our  critical  problems  of  poverty,  joblessness,  education,  and  hunger,  we  have  only  ourselves  to  blame.

Take  time  to  look  at  the  issues,  check  out  the  candidates:  Where  do  WKH\ VWDQG RQ WKHVH LVVXHV ,I SUHYLRXV RIÂżFH KROGHUV KRZ GLG WKH\ YRWH on  education,  the  environment,  state  budget,  and  health  care.  Get  out  and  vote  for  the  candidates  of  your  choice.  Take  two,  three  or  more  neighbors  with  you  because  every  vote  counts.  Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  note:  Mary  Kerr  of  Ferrisburgh  is  a  journalist  and  writer.  Her  interest  in  Afghanistan  stretches  back  to  the  1950s  when  she  wrote  about  the  country  as  an  undergraduate  at  Northwestern  University.  She  taught  at  the  School  of  Leadership  in  Kabul,  Afghanistan,  this  past  spring.

Letters to the Editor Enhance  education  at  Mt.  Abe  by  backing  the  bond The  tax  dollars  we  shell  out  every  year  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  federal,  state  and  local  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  un-­ derwrite  a  wide  array  of  services.  We  pay  for  parks  and  highways,  Social  Security  for  our  elders  and  disability  for  those  unable  to  work.  We  pay  for  the  courts  and  prisons,  for  border  patrol  and  for  the  most  powerful  military  in  the  world.

The  direct  control  we  are  able  to  exert  over  how  our  tax  dollars  are  spent  and  what  they  are  spent  on  is  slight.  Of  course  we  can  vote  and  write  letters  to  our  legislators  both  state  and  federal,  but  it  is  easy  to  get  cynical  about  our  ability  as  citizens  to  have  an  effect  on  government,  the Â

federal  government  in  particular.  But  the  closer  to  home  our  tax  dollars  are  collected  and  spent,  the  more  control  we  can  exert  over  the  direction  we  want  our  government  to  go.

To  make  a  case  for  the  bond  is  not  to  diminish  the  important  work  done  in  the  building  by  teachers,  staff,  coaches  and  administrators.  The  con-­ nections  and  the  learning  they  foster  with  students  of  all  backgrounds  is  really  the  key  to  education.  But  that  learning  does  not  take  place  in  a  vacuum.  It  is  either  enhanced  or  (See  duPont  Letter,  Page  5)

New  methane-­related  technology  could  be  an  asset Recent  developments  in  renewable  energy  have  come  to  my  immedi-­ ate  vicinity,  both  solar  and  bio-­ methane.  A  look  at  these  two  forms,  one  producing  energy  only  during  daylight  hours  and  the  other  continu-­ ous  energy  24  hours,  yielded  for  me  the  following  insight:  If  solar  energy,  which  can  only  be  stored  by  expen-­ sive  batteries  could  be  supplemented  more  directly  by  methane  physically  stored  to  be  used  to  power  a  gen-­ erator  during  morning  and  evening  â&#x20AC;&#x153;peakâ&#x20AC;?  hours,  the  two  could  combine  to  greatest  effect.

Keep  in  mind  that  small-­scale  24-­hour  energy  production  has  little  impact  on  the  grid  as  off-­peak  overnight  power  is  not  needed.  A  maximum  of  only  nine  hoursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  gas  storage  would  be  required  to  regulate  WKH Ă&#x20AC;RZ DQG FRXOG EH PDGH IHDVLEOH if  a  rate  schedule  for  this  valuable  peak  hours  electricity,  such  as  the Â

â&#x20AC;&#x153;new  meteringâ&#x20AC;?  rule  for  solar,  were  in  place  for  methane.  This  policy  would  be  the  province  of  the  Ver-­ mont  Public  Service  Board.

Converting  cow  manure  to  meth-­ ane  to  be  burned  for  energy  would  release  carbon  dioxide,  which  is  taken  in  by  the  grass  grown  for  feed,  a  seemingly  closed  system.  Howev-­ er,  methane  production  is  now  only  feasible  for  large  1,000-­cow  farms,  which  rely  on  large-­scale  fossil-­fuel  equipment  to  mechanically  harvest  JUDVV WR IHHG FRZV FRQÂżQHG WR WKH barn.  I  have  initiated  research  at  the  Vermont  Technical  College  Dairy  Science  Department  to  develop  a  model  for  a  50-­cow  farm  utilizing  a  pasture  system  and  an  automated  â&#x20AC;&#x153;robotâ&#x20AC;?  milker,  saving  fossil  fuel  and  tedious  labor,  plus  numerous  other  EHQHÂżWV :KLOH QR PDQXUH ZRXOG EH collected  from  pasture,  the  winter Â

production  would  be  very  high  value  during  short  daylight  solar  power  months.

An  effort  to  develop  storable  methane  production  from  smaller  units  of  animal  agriculture  could  KDYH D JUHDW PDQ\ EHQH¿FLDO UHWXUQV In  Middlebury,  a  three-­mile,  four-­ inch  PVC  pipeline  (fossil  fuel-­based)  buried  by  excavators  (fossil  fuel)  is  proposed  to  supply  the  college  with  24-­hour  combustion.  Surely  storage  at  the  source  to  generate  electric-­ ity,  possibly  with  compression  by  overnight  off-­peak  hydroelectricity,  would  be  cost-­effective.

This  scenario  promotes  the  rural  society,  nearly  decimated  by  large  farms  and  agribusiness,  and  enhanc-­ es  renewable  energy  production  with  best  utilization.  All  that  remains  is  to  do  the  math.

Jefferies  letter  (Continued  from  Page  5) scrapping  it  and  going  back  to  the  old  way.

From  Canada,  we  hear  occasional  stories  of  folks  who  come  south  to  buy  treatment  denied  at  home.  Yet,  their  national  health  care  program  is  famously  called  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;third  railâ&#x20AC;?  of  Canadian  politics.  Any  politician  who  seriously  suggests  scrapping  it  is  as  politically  dead  as  if  he  stepped  on  a  subway  systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  third  rail  and  was  electrocuted.  There  is  a  reason  for  that.  Taken  as  a  whole,  Canadians  ap-­ prove  of  national  health  care,  even  if  individuals  might  carp  about  details.

Second,  while  my  wife  and  I  had  a  bit  of  initial  trouble  negotiating  the  process,  we  are  now  very  happy  with  the  results.  Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  what  happened:  We  spoke  with  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Navigator,â&#x20AC;?  under-­ stood  that  we  would  not  receive  any  state  aid,  examined  our  many  options  and  then  picked  one.  Then  the  pleas-­ ant  surprises  began.

Rather  than  the  usual  increase  in  costs,  our  premiums  dropped  by  15  percent.  Then,  as  we  used  the  coverage,  we  found  that  the  plan  not  only  had  a  lower  deductible  then  our Â

earlier,  more  expensive  private  plan,  but  it  covered  more.  Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  to  like  about  this?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  thrilled  about  the  change,  and  it  only  makes  sense.  With  the  gradually  enforced  coverage  of  all,  there  will  be  more  premium  money  going  into  the  pot.  And  with  more  people  using  preventive  and  diagnos-­ tic  services  going  forward,  we  should  see  a  lessening  of  the  horrendous  costs  of  dealing  with  late-­discovery  catastrophic  illness.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  natural  for  people  to  com-­ plain  about  change.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  also  natural  for  people  afraid  of  change  to  vote  against  the  people  who  helped  bring  the  change.  But  in  this  case,  the  change  is  working,  so  I  believe  that  the  right  thing  to  do  is  to  vote  to  retain  the  people  that  brought  us  this  change.  Not  those  who  would  try  to  roll  back  the  clock  without  an  answer  for  the  problems.

Complaining  is  easy,  but  courage  in  Montpelier  is  rare.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  why  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  vote  for  Mike  Fisher  and  Dave  Sharpe  on  Nov  4.

Mount Abraham Union High School is proud to name Nick Turner its Student of the Week. Nick lives in Monkton with his parents, Stanley and Wendi Turner, and his younger sister, Ashley, who is a sophomore.

Nick was on the honor roll in grades 9 and 10. Then in 11th grade he took Advanced Placement calculus. This year he is taking AP Calculus BC, AP Biology, and AP European history.

Nick has run cross-country every year since seventh grade. He played ODFURVVH LQ JUDGHV WKHQ VWDUWHG WUDFN DQG Ă&#x20AC;HOG LQ WK +H SODQV WR run track this year as well. In track last year in D-II he placed third in the state for triple jump and fourth in the state for long jump.

Every year, Nick volunteers to help with the fall and spring musicals by constructing the sets and helping run the lights during the performances.

Outside of school Nick loves running, hiking, camping and spending time with his friends.

When asked what he learned from high school, Nick says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing would ever get done if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the last minute. Also, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to make mistakes because we learn more from messing up than from getting Nicholas  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nickâ&#x20AC;?  Turner something right.â&#x20AC;?

M.A.U.H.S. His advice for other students would be: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never procrastinate, do your work the day you get it or it will haunt you forever. Also, sleep is extremely important, you can never get enough of it.â&#x20AC;?

After high school, Nick plans to go to college to study neuroscience.

Debate  (Continued  from  Page  1) Means  Committee,  while  Fisher  is  chairman  of  the  House  Health  Care  Committee.

But  Baser  and  Mullin  argued  that  incumbency  could  be  seen  as  a  dis-­ advantage  in  this  race.  They  argued  Fisher  should  take  some  blame  for  the  failed  launch  of  the  Vermont  Health  Connect  website,  and  chal-­ lenged  Sharpe  for  supporting  new  taxes.

Fisher  acknowledged  the  website  failures  and  said  that  this  problem  was  not  imagined  back  in  2011,  when  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  federally  mandated  health  exchange  was  being  planned.

Sharpe  acknowledged  support-­ ing  new  taxes  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  such  as  a  bump  in  the  gas  tax  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  but  said  he  did  so  because  the  revenues  helped  replace  two  Bristol  bridges  and  make  im-­ provements  to  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  roads  and  culverts.

Mullin  and  Baser  both  took  aim  at  Act  68,  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  education  funding  law.

Mullin  said  the  law  should  be  scrapped  and  the  state  should  em-­ brace  school  choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Effective  schools  would  rise  and  others  would  have  to  step  up  to  com-­ pete,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.

Baser  called  Act  68  â&#x20AC;&#x153;broken,â&#x20AC;?  and  said  the  Legislature  should  look  at  a  different  menu  of  taxes  (other  than  primarily  property  taxes)  to  fund  public  education.

Fisher  and  Sharpe  both  acknowl-­ edged  Vermont  has  an  â&#x20AC;&#x153;overreli-­ anceâ&#x20AC;?  on  the  property  tax  for  fund-­

ing  programs.  Sharpe  said  other  states  rely  on  the  property  tax  to  the  tune  of  around  40  percent,  while  he  noted  Vermont  is  at  around  61  percent.  Sharpe  said  the  tax  system  VKRXOG EHWWHU UHĂ&#x20AC;HFW D UHVLGHQWÂśV DELO-­ ity  to  pay,  and  Fisher  also  called  for  more  balance  within  the  tax  system.

The  candidates  also  shared  their  views  on  the  issue  of  school  consoli-­ GDWLRQ DQ LGHD Ă&#x20AC;RDWHG E\ VRPH ODZ-­ makers  as  a  way  for  Vermont  to  deal  with  the  current  trend  of  declining  student  enrollment  and  growing  ed-­ ucation  expenses.  While  none  of  the  four  candidates  came  out  in  favor  of  school  consolidation,  they  agreed  the  state  should  consider  some  structural  changes  in  order  to  save  money.  They  agreed  that  Vermont-­ ers  cherish  local  control  over  their  schools.  Baser  said  the  state  could  consider  a  statewide  teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  con-­ tract  to  help  cut  costs  and  streamline  negotiations.  Sharpe  criticized  that  idea  as  having  the  potential  to  raise  education  expenses  for  rural  school  districts  that  would  have  to  pay  their  teachers  the  same  as  in  more  urban  districts,  like  Burlington.

All  four  candidates  said  they  sup-­ ported  the  Addison  Rutland  Natural  Gas  Project  pipeline  for  its  potential  to  bring  lower  fuel  costs  to  local  homes  and  businesses,  but  Fisher  and  Sharpe  criticized  Vermont  Gas  for  the  manner  in  which  it  had  been  negotiating  with  affected  property  owners  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  particularly  those  in  Monkton.  Fisher  said  some  property  owners  along  the  pipeline  route  have Â

REP.  MIKE  FISHER,  D-­Lincoln,  seated  next  to  Republican  challengers  Valerie  Mullin  and  Fred  Baser,  speaks  during  an  Addison-­4  House  can-­ didate  debate  in  Bristol  last  week.

Is  a  pet  right  for  your  family?

(MS)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Pets  often  make  wonder-­ ful  additions  to  a  household.  Parents  love  pets  not  only  because  animals  bring  smiles  to  their  chil-­ drenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  faces,  but  also  because  pets  teach  kids  about  responsibility.

But  the  decision  of  whether  or  not  to  bring  a  pet  into  a  home  is  a  complicated  one  to  which  parents  would  be  wise  to  give  ample  consideration  before  making  their  ¿ QDO GHFLVLRQ 7KH IROORZLQJ DUH a  few  factors  parents  can  consider  when  deciding  if  now  is  the  right  time  to  bring  a  pet  into  their  household.

Finances Money  is  often  overlooked  when  deciding  whether  or  not  to  bring  a  pet  into  a  home.But  pets  can  be  expensive,  and  the  potential  cost  of  pet  ownership  must  be  fully  explored.  Pet  adoption  fees  are  often  negligible,  but  families  who  prefer  a  purebred  dog  can  expect  to  spend  considerably  more  money  than  they  would  if  they  were  to  adopt  a  mixed-­breed  dog  from  the  local  shelter.  In  addition,  a  pedi-­ greed  cat  is  likely  to  cost  more  than  a  cat  adopted  from  the  shelter.  But  those  initial  fees  are  only  a  small  part  of  the  expenses  associated  with  pet  ownership.  Medical  costs,  including  routine  veterinary  visits  and  medication,  pet  insurance,  food  and  grooming  costs  can  add  up  over  time,  so  families  already  ZRUNLQJ RQ WKLQ EXGJHWV PLJKW ¿ QG LWœV QRW ¿ QDQFLDOO\ SUXGHQW WR EULQJ a  pet  into  their  home  until  their  ¿ QDQFHV VWDELOL]H Families  who  tend  to  travel  a  lot  also  must  consider  the  cost  of  shel-­ tering  the  animal  when  they  are  out  of  town,  while  renters  should  determine  if  bringing  a  pet  into  a  home  will  incur  a  higher  rental  deposit  or  if  the  animal  is  likely  to  cause  damage,  as  puppies  and  kittens  tend  to  do,  that  will  ulti-­ mately  cost  them  money  when  they  move  out  of  their  rental.

Time Some  pets  require  more  atten-­ tion  than  others,  so  heads  of  a  family  should  consider  just  how  much  time  they  have  to  devote  to  pet  ownership.  Dogs  tend  to  need  the  most  attention  among  the  more  popular  household  pets,  so  fami-­ lies  whose  schedules  are  already  IXOO PD\ ¿ QG WKDW SHWV WKDW GRQœW

Demeanor When  considering  bringing  a  pet  into  a  home,  parents  should  consider  both  their  own  demeanor,  their  kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  demeanors  and  the  demeanor  of  the  pet  they  are  think-­ ing  of  adopting.  Dogs  have  their  idiosyncrasies,  but  breeds  tend  to  exhibit  similar  behaviors.  Labrador  retrievers,  for  example,  tend  to  be  active  and  energetic,  while  a  typical  English  bulldog  might  be  more  laid-­back  and  less  prone  to  running  around.  Active  families  who  enjoy  spending  time  outdoors  might  prefer  a  more  active  dog,  while  families  who  enjoy  relaxing  at  home  might  want  a  dog  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  equally  comfortable  lounging  around  the  house.  When  considering  cats,  families  should  speak  with  a  professional,  be  it  a  veterinarian  or  a  represen-­ tative  at  the  local  animal  shelter,  about  the  demeanors  of  different  breeds  to  ensure  they  make  the  best Â

decision.  Parents  of  young  children  likely  want  a  cat  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  playful  as  opposed  to  one  who  is  likely  to  be  VWDQGRIÂż VK ZLWK FXULRXV NLGV Future The  future  is  another  thing  parents  must  consider  before  bringing  a  pet  into  their  home.  Parents  whose  careers  are  stable  might  make  better  pet  owners  than  those  angling  for  a  reassign-­ ment  or  looking  to  change  careers.  An  unfortunate  side  effect  of  the  recession  that  began  in  2008  was  that  many  families  were  forced  to  relocate  when  one  or  both  parents  lost  their  jobs  but  found  opportu-­ nities  elsewhere.  Upon  moving,  WKHVH IDPLOLHV UHDOL]HG WKH IDPLO\ pet  could  not  make  the  trip,  which  OHG WR VKHOWHUV EHLQJ Ă&#x20AC; RRGHG ZLWK homeless  pets.  If  your  familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  future  is  in  question,  delay  adopt-­ ing  or  buying  a  pet  until  your  situ-­ ation  is  more  stable.  If  all  is  well  in  your  career  and  your  family  is  ¿ UPO\ HQWUHQFKHG LQ \RXU FRPPX nity,  then  now  might  be  a  great  time  to  bring  a  pet  into  your  home.

Tip  of  the  Week There  are  many  ways  to  help  animals.  From  feeding  stray  cats  to  volunteering  at  your  local  animal  shelter,  you  can  make  a  difference.

Helping  individual  animals  is  rewarding,  but  lending  your  voice  to  a  community  of  animal  advocates  to  effect  change  at  the  Statehouse  can  be  overwhelmingly  empow-­ ering.  If  you  are  interested Â

in  learning  more  about  being  a  grassroots  activist,  please  consider  joining  like-­minded  folks  at  the  Ilsley  Public  Library  tonight,  Oct.  27,  from  6-­7:30  p.m.  to  learn  more  from  the  Humane  Society  of  the  United  States  (HSUS)  how  a  bill  becomes  a  law,  what  influences  a  legislator,  and  what  you  can  do  to  help.

Think of Agway when you think of your pets!

Proud  to  help  you  provide  quality  care  for  all  of  your  pets, we  know  your  animal  companions  are  a  central  part  of  your  life! Â

SYLVIA DRAKE (1784-­1868) and Charity Bryant (1777-­1851), shown in silhouettes from the Sheldon Museum collection, lived as a same-­sex couple in Weybridge in the early 19th century. Author and professor Rachel Hope Cleves will give a talk on their relationship in the context of their rural community and the time in which they lived on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at Middlebury College’s Twilight Hall.

Mt.  Abeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Shrekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  shaping  up  to  be  a  crowd-­pleaser BRISTOL  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Mount  Abraham  Union  High  School  Fall  Musical  production  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrek  the  Musicalâ&#x20AC;?  marks  the  22nd  annual  theatrical  event  at  the  school,  a  bit  earlier  than  usual  this  year  due  to  changes  in  the  fall  schedules  of  extra-­curricular  activities.  Shows  will  be  Thursday-­Saturday,  Nov.  13-­15,  with  evening  shows  each  night  at  7:30  p.m.,  and  a  Saturday  matinee  at  2  p.m.  on  the  15th.

Based  on  the  Oscar-­winning  DreamWorks  Animation  film,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrek  the  Musicalâ&#x20AC;?  is  a  Tony  Award-­winning  fairy  tale  adven-­ ture,  bringing  beloved  characters  from  the  film  to  life  on  stage,  and  proving  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  more  to  the  story  than  meets  the  ears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once  upon  a  time,  there  was  a  little  ogre  named  Shrek  â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?  And  thus  begins  the  tale  of  an  unlikely  hero  who  finds  himself Â

on  a  life-­changing  journey  along-­ side  a  wisecracking  donkey  (Sam  Kuhns)  and  a  feisty  prin-­ cess  (Fiona  Cole)  who  resists  her  rescue.  Throw  in  a  short  and  short-­tempered  bad  guy  (Gus  Catlin),  a  cookie  with  an  attitude  (Finnian  Brokaw),  and  dozens  of  other  fairy  tale  misfits  and  the  result  is  the  kind  of  mess  that  calls  for  a  real  hero.

Luckily,  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  one  on  hand, Â

and  his  name  is  Shrek  (Patrick  Davison).  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrek   the  Musicalâ&#x20AC;?  presents  a  treasure  trove  of  creative  production  values  that  audiences  have  come  to  expect:  large,  energetic  casts  (100-­plus  young  people)  bringing  funny  and  tuneful  characters  to  life,  splendid  costumes,  special  effects,  sets,  puppets  (there  is  a  fire-­breathing  dragon,  after  all),  and  great  memories.  Irreverently Â

fun  for  the  whole  family,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrekâ&#x20AC;?  proves  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;beauty  is  (truly)  in  the  eye  of  the  ogre.â&#x20AC;?

Tickets  are  once  again  on  sale  (through  the  generosity  of  Kathleen  and  Martin  Clark)  at  Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Hardware  in  Bristol  during  their  regular  business  hours.  All  seats  are  reserved.  Tickets  are  $11  for  adults  and  $7  for  kids  younger  than  12  and  seniors.

Brandon  workshop  answers  questions  on  self-­publishing BRANDON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Vermont  author  and  poet  Jerry  Johnson  will  lead  a  workshop  titled  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Self-­Publishing:  Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  It  All  About?  Is  It  Right  For  You?â&#x20AC;?  at  the  Compass  Music  and  Arts  Center  in  Brandon  on  Saturday,  Nov.  15,  from  10  a.m.-­3  p.m.

During  the  workshop,  Johnson  will  share  his  stories  and  insights  from  his  more  than  10  years  of  experience  in  the  publishing  industry.  Topics  will  include:  writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  groups  and  organizations  such  as  the  League  of  Vermont  Writers,  Poetry  Society  of  Vermont  and  Burlington  Writers  Workshop;Íž  making  connections;Íž  self-­ publishing  on  various   formats;Íž  social  media;Íž  indie  presses;Íž  editing  and  proofreading;Íž  marketing;Íž  print-­on-­ demand;Íž  eBooks  and  iBooks;Íž  self-­ publishing  companies  (iUniverse,  Xlibris,  Lulu,  Lightning  Source,  etc.);Íž  Vermont  indie  presses;Íž  creating  your  own  imprint;Íž  and  finding  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;rightâ&#x20AC;?  people,  organizations  and  companies  to  help  writers  achieve  their  goals.

The  publishing  industry  has  changed  dramatically  over  the  past  10  years.  Hundreds  of  thousands  of  authors  are  publishing  profitable  work  right  now  instead  of  waiting  for  agents  and  publishers  to  give  the  green  light.

With  the  encouragement  of  Galway  Kinnell,  former  poet  laureate  of  Vermont,  Jerry  Johnson  self-­published  his  first  book,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  Bed  of  Leaves,â&#x20AC;?  in  2004.  In  2013,  he  established  his  own  imprint, Â

Creek  Road  Press,  and  collaborated  with  Virgo  eBooks  Publishing,  an  independent  Vermont-­based  publisher  (indie  press),  for  the  publication  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up  the  Creek  Without  a  Saddleâ&#x20AC;?  as  a  paperback,  eBook  and  iBook.  This  was  followed  by  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Song,â&#x20AC;?  an  illustrated  childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  book,  in  2014.  His  books  have  received  kudos  from  Reeve  Lindbergh,  Vermont  Poet  Laureate  Sydney  Lea,  Howard  Frank  Mosher  and  many  others.

Johnson  notes  that  Mark  Twain  self-­published  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huckleberry  Finn,â&#x20AC;?  Irma  Rombauer  self-­published  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Joy  of  Cooking,â&#x20AC;?  and  countless  others  like  Walt  Whitman,  Edgar  Allan  Poe,  Steven  Crane,  Upton  Sinclair  and  Deepak  Chopra  published  their  own  works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Self-­publishing  is  a  good  thing  and  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  do  it  on  your  own,â&#x20AC;?  Johnson  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  goal  is  to  give  people  sufficient  information  on  whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  available  to  help  them  self-­ publish  and  the  encouragement  to  do  so.  I  hope  to  cut  down  on  their  learning  curve.â&#x20AC;?

The  workshop  fee  is  $50.  Advanced  registration  is  required.  The  registration  deadline  is  Nov.  13.  Call  802-­247-­4295  or  email  info@ cmacvt.org.

Vergennes Lions Club celebrates 60th year FERRISBURGH  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Saturday  evening,  Oct.  20,  the  Vergennes  Lions  Club  celebrated  its  60th  anniversary  at  Basin  Harbor  Club  in  Ferrisburgh  with  International  Director  Ed  Farrington  of  New  Hampshire  thanking  the  club  for  its  support  to  the  community  and  presenting  awards  to  a  few  members.

The  club  was  chartered  in  November  1954  with  25  members,  having  been  sponsored  by  the  Middlebury  Lions  Club.  Two  of  the  original  charter  members,  Robert  Barrows  and  Richard  Poquette,  are  still  members.  Presently,  the  Vergennes  club  is  the  largest  Lions  Club  in  Vermont  with  nearly  85  members.   Over  the  past  60-­plus  years,  the  club  has  contributed  well  over  $900,000  to  Vergennes-­area  communities.  Even  though  the  primary  mission  has  always  been  sight  conservation,  where  funds  are  donated  for  eyeglasses,  eye  exams  and  eye  operations,  the  club  has  also  donated  funds  for  hearing  aids  for  needy  folks;Íž  winter  cloth-­ ing  for  elementary  school  children;Íž  and  funds  for  Bixby  Library,  Porter  Hospital,  Vergennes  Area  Rescue  Squad,  Project  Independence,  Boys  and  Girls  Club,  John  Graham  Shelter,  elementary  school  play-­ grounds,  city  parks,  holiday  food  baskets  for  shut-­ins,  many  hand-­ icap-­accessible  ramps  and  the  Vergennes  Community  Food  Shelf.  One  of  the  biggest  projects  is  the  Lions  Club  Scholarship  Fund,  ZKLFK JLYHV ÂżYH VFKRO-­ arships  each  year  to  graduating  seniors  at  Vergennes  Union  High Â

School.

To  be  able  to  donate  all  these  funds,  the  club  has  had  many  different  fundraisers  over  the  years,  including  the  New  Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  (YH GDQFH DQQXDO YHKLFOH UDIĂ&#x20AC;HV VFKRODUVKLS WLFNHW UDIĂ&#x20AC;HV 0HPRULDO 'D\ DFWLYLWLHV IRRG Ă&#x20AC;DJ EDOORRQ and  popcorn  sales),  Vergennes  Day  barbecues,  annual  Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  Auctions,  birthday  calendars,  Memory  Trees  and  Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  Bazaars  in  the  park,  variety  shows,  Texas  Hold  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Em  tournaments,  painting  houses,  sell-­ LQJ OLJKW EXOEV VHOOLQJ ÂżUHZRRG and  others.

In  1976,  the  Vergennes  club  sponsored  the  Bristol  Lions  Club  and  in  1996  sponsored  the  Hinesburg  Lions  Club.   For  several  years,  they  also  sponsored  the  Vergennes  Leo  Club  for  high  school-­aged  youth.   Vergennes  Lions  are  a  part  of  District  45  (State  of  Vermont)  with  34  other  clubs.  District  projects  include  Vermont  Lions  Charities,  Austine  Green  Mountain  Lions  Camp  for  hearing  impaired  youth,  Lions  Twin-­State  Soccer  matches,  sight  and  hearing  conservation,  etc.

Being  part  of  the  District,  the  Vergennes  club  has  provided  many  leaders  in  several  different  posi-­ tions  including  District  Governors  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Larry  Simino  (1977-­1978),  Larry  Myott  (2004-­2005)  and  Bruce  Bushey  (2009-­2010).  Two  current  members,  Debra  Bushey  and  Michael  Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Daniel,  have  served  as  District  Cabinet  Secretary/ Treasurers.   Robert  Keith  was  Membership  Chair  during  a  period  of  strong  growth.   The  club  is Â

Real Estate Woolly  Bears:  Forecast  Flops?

By  BARBARA  MACKAY Autumn  is  coming  to  a  close.  The  brilliant  fall  foliage  is  past  peak,  if  not  already  layered  in  the  compost  bin.  The  last  geese  are  honking  their  way  toward  winter  homes.  Predictions  are  proffered  (sometimes  cheerfully,  mostly  not)  for  how  cold  and  snowy  this  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  winter  will  be.  Sources  for  seasonal  predictions  vary.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  Almanacâ&#x20AC;?  and  traditional  old  wivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  tales  are  often  cited.  How  soon  those  geese  head  south,  for  example,  is  sup-­ posed  to  indicate  how  dif-­ ÂżFXOW ZLQWHU ZLOO EH :H trust  these  bits  of  folklore  because  they  often  have  a  VFLHQWLÂżF EDVLV DQG VHHP to  work.  (Research  is  ad-­ vised,  however;Íž  never  as-­ sume  that  country  wisdom  is  reliable  enough  to  calculate,  say,  your  oil  pre-­ buy  needs.)

Sometimes  the  cuteness  factor  plays  a  role  in  our  willingness  to  be-­ lieve.  Take  the  woolly  bear  caterpillar,  whose  fuzziness  often  tempts  people  to  pick  it  up,  and  coincidentally,  to  discover  that  the  bristles,  called  setae,  are  actually  stiff  and  hard,  not  soft  and  cuddly.  It  is  on  the  prowl  in  late  fall,  crossing  lawns,  logs  and  roads.  According  to  tradition,  the  wider  the  rusty-­orange  band  around  its  middle,  the  milder  the  coming  winter.  The  rel-­ ative  size  of  its  two  black  sections  is  also  supposed  to  have  meteorological  VLJQLÂżFDQFH ,I WKH IURQW RQH LV ODUJHU than  the  back  one,  the  beginning  of  winter  will  supposedly  have  colder  temperatures  than  the  end  of  winter,  and  vice  versa.  In  fact,  woolly  bears  are  better  pre-­ dictors  of  the  past  spring  and  summer  than  the  coming  winter.  Like  all  cater-­ pillars,  the  woolly  bear  goes  through  several  stages  of  development,  called  instars.  Each  instar  is  a  period  of  steady  eating  and  growth,  culminating Â

The

in  the  shedding  of  now-­too-­tight  skin.  During  each  molt,  some  of  the  black-­ bristled  segments  are  replaced  with  orange  ones.  Fall  is  well  under  way  by  WKH ÂżIWK RU VL[WK LQVWDU MXVW ZKHQ ZH begin  comparing  the  forecast  and  the  caterpillar. :KDW WKLV PHDQV LV WKDW WKH UDWLR of  black  to  orange  actually  depends  on  the  caterpillarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  age  and  devel-­ opmental  stage.  Very  young  woolly  bears  are  almost  entirely  dark.  If  spring  came  early,  the  woolly  bear  will  have  had  additional  time  for  growth,  resulting  in  a  wide  orange  band  by  fall.  On  the  other  hand,  lack  of  rain  in  the  spring  and  summer  may  limit  its  food  supply  (dandeli-­ ons,  grass,  clover,  nettles  and  birches  are  preferred)  and  delay  growth.

Looking  at  a  stressed,  spring-­size  caterpillar  in  November  may  tell  you  something  about  the  previous  monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  weather  conditions,  but  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  much  help  with  the  question  of  wheth-­ er  your  wood  pile  needs  supplement-­ ing.  As  autumn  edges  closer  to  winter,  these  caterpillars  seek  out  a  place  to  hibernate.  They  may  wander  surpris-­ ingly  far  in  their  quest.  Choice  spots  are  under  leaf  litter,  in  a  wood  pile,  even  behind  loose  bark.  Here  they  are  out  of  the  elements,  but  by  no  means  protected  from  freezing.  In  fact,  they  must  freeze  in  order  to  survive  the  winter.

Like  frogs,  woolly  bears  make  a  substance  that  acts  like  antifreeze.  As  the  late  autumn  temperature  drops,  the  FDWHUSLOODU JUDGXDOO\ ÂżOOV ZLWK JO\F-­ erol.  This  viscous  substance  basically  prevents  organs  and  sensitive  tissues  from  getting  freezer  burn.  The  se-­ tae  also  contribute  to  the  winterizing  process  by  drawing  water  out  of  the  caterpillarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  body.  Deadly  ice  crystals  form  harmlessly  on  the  bristles  instead Â

Outside Story

of  inside  the  body,  where  cells  critical  to  life  reside.  Eventually,  only  the  in-­ terior  of  each  cell  remains  unfrozen,  safely  surrounded  by  cold-­tolerant  glycerol. :LWK LFH RQ WKH RXWVLGH DQG JO\FHURO on  the  inside,  the  caterpillar  is  ready  to  endure  a  long  period  of  cold  weather.  This  period  of  arctic  diapause  is  so  critical  that  a  mild  winter  can  spell  doom  for  woolly  bears.  (So,  too,  can  soft-­hearted  but  misinformed  â&#x20AC;&#x153;protec-­ torsâ&#x20AC;?  who  relocate  one  to  the  garage,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;so  the  poor  caterpillar  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  freeze  to  death.â&#x20AC;?)  Sheltered  from  snow  and  wind  by  its  leaf  or  log  shelter,  the  fro-­ zen  caterpillar  can  withstand  tempera-­ tures  well  below  zero.  Looking  like  a  crispy  tortellini,  it  lies  as  though  lifeless  until  spring  tem-­ peratures  warm  it  up.  Once  it  thaws,  it  resumes  ravenous  eating  as  though  never  interrupted.  After  a  few  days  of  gorging  on  tender  greens,  the  banded  ODUYD ÂżQGV D VLWH WR VSLQ D FRFRRQ ZLWK LWV EULVWOHV DQG VLON :RRGSLOHV DUH again  favorite  spots,  but  any  secure  VXUIDFH ZLOO GR (YHU\ \HDU , ÂżQG IRXU RU ÂżYH LQVLGH DQ HPSW\ ZUHQ KRXVH A  miraculous  transformation  takes  place  inside  the  cocoon  over  the  next  one  to  two  weeks.  Then  one  day  a  delicate  yellow-­orange  Isabella  tiger  moth  (Pyrrharctia  isabella)  emerges  without  warning.  Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  not  likely  to  see  it  unless  you  have  a  porch  light,  however,  as  it  is  both  nocturnal  and  short-­lived.  It  will  mate,  lay  eggs,  and  die  in  a  matter  of  weeks,  leaving  its  offspring  to  carry  on  the  role  of  pre-­ tend  prognosticators.

Input  sought  on  Ilsley  Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  future MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  In  September  the  Ilsley  Public  Library  Building  Committee  distributed  a  survey  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  in  print  and  online  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  asking  citizens  their  views  about  many  aspects  of  the  physical  space  within  the  Middlebury  library.  Over  300  people  completed  the  survey.

During  November  the  committee  will  increase  its  outreach  by  holding  meetings  at  various  times  and  loca-­ tions  in  Middlebury.  These  meetings  are  open  to  anyone  interested  in  the  library,  regardless  of  where  they  live.  The  purpose  of  the  meetings  is  for  the  committee  to  listen  to  all  ideas Â

and  suggestions  that  individuals  have  about  what,  if  any,  physical  improve-­ ments  or  changes  Ilsley  needs.

In  addition  to  these  meetings,  com-­ mittee  members  have  already  met  with  Middlebury  economic  develop-­ ment  leaders  and  residents  of  East-­ View.  Committee  members  will  also  be  meeting  with  teachers  and  school  administrators,  childcare  providers,  social  service  organizations  and  other  interested  groups.
