Local author who’s been around tells why he settles in Vermont

Meffe says you have to work at community

By  LEE  J.  KAHRS BRANDON  â€”  â€œWhy  Vermont?â€? It’s  a  simple  question  Brandon  resident  Gary  Meffe  and  his  wife,  Nancy,  were  often  asked  when  they  announced  they  were  making  the  move  from  Florida  to  Brandon  seven  years  ago.  It’s  also  the  title  of  the  ¿UVW HVVD\ *DU\ 0HIIH ZURWH WKDW sparked  his  new  book,  â€œVan  Cort-­ land  Chronicles  â€”  A  Celebration  of  Life  in  a  Small  Vermont  Town.â€?  The  book  of  33  essays  explains  in  detail  the  answer  to  that  seemingly  simple  question  across  a  variety  of  planes  â€”  sociological,  cultural,  political,  environmental  â€”  and  highlights  Meffe’s  love  for  Vermont  in  general  and  Brandon  in  particular. LEFT  BRAIN/RIGHT  BRAIN A  conservation  biologist  by  trade,  Meffe  is  no  stranger  to  the  written  ZRUG DOEHLW ZLWK D PRUH VFLHQWLÂżF bent.  He  is  the  author  of  two  col-­ lege  textbooks  in  several  editions  and  PRUH WKDQ VFLHQWLÂżF SXEOLFDWLRQV He  is  also  a  former  research  professor  in  evolutionary  biology  and  conser-­ vation  biology  and  for  12  years  was  the  editor-­in-­chief  of  the  international  VFLHQWLÂżF MRXUQDO Conservation  Biol-­ ogy.  But  â€œVan  Cortland  Chronicles,â€?  self-­published  through  the  Northshire  Bookstore’s  Shires  Press  in  Manches-­ ter,  represents  Meffe’s  foray  into  the  UHDOP RI QRQÂżFWLRQ HVVD\ DQG D UH-­ freshing  change  in  genre  for  this  re-­ tired  scientist. “To  be  a  good  scientist,  you  have  to  be  able  to  write,  because  it’s  publish  or  perish  in  science,â€?  he  said.  â€œFor Â

GARY   MEFFE WKLV ERRN LGHDV ZRXOG MXVW VWULNH PH and  I  would  think  â€˜There’s  a  story  there,’  and  I  would  get  it  down.â€? During  an  interview  in  the  Meffes’  cozy  log  cabin  home  on  (where  else?)  Van  Cortland  Road  in  Brandon,  Gary  Meffe  said  the  anchor  essay  â€œWhy  Vermont?â€?  was  published  in  Vermont  Life  PDJD]LQH DERXW ÂżYH \HDUV DJR and  it  led  to  other  essays  and  the  in-­ evitable  idea  that  perhaps  there  was  a  book  there. “Funny  things  or  unusual  things  ZRXOG KDSSHQ DQG , ZRXOG MRW WKHP down,â€?  he  said.  â€œIt’s  important  to  ground  a  book  geographically  and  this  book  is  about  love  of  place.  I  tried  not  to  make  this  all  about  us,  but  I  wanted  to  share  the  story  of  relocat-­ ing  to  Vermont.  It’s  about  Brandon  and  Vermont  through  our  eyes  and Â

our  experience.â€? CANCER  AND  COMMUNITY If  there  is  a  lot  of  the  collective  â€œweâ€?  in  Meffe’s  conversation,  it’s  because  he  and  Nancy  have  been  to-­ gether  for  over  30  years  and  are  go-­ ing  strong.  And  despite  several  cross-­ country  moves  and  career  shifts,  it  was  Nancy’s  bout  with  breast  cancer  12  years  ago  that  represented  the  cou-­ ple’s  greatest  challenge,  and  one  that  led  them  to  Vermont.  They  discuss  it  in  tag-­team  style. “Our  decision  was  informed  by  that  experience,â€?  Nancy  said.  â€œYou  know  life  is  short.â€? Gary  agreed. “Cancer  recalibrated  our  lives,â€?  he  said.  â€œWe  learned  to  say  â€˜no’  to  a  lot  of  things.â€? “It  took  us  to  Ground  Zero  and  we  regrouped  after  that,â€?  Nancy  said. At  the  time,  Nancy  was  51  and  Gary  was  47.  They  had  settled  into  a  life  in  Florida,  with  a  house  and  a  circle  of  friends  in  a  community  they  were  fond  of,  and  were  prepared  to  live  out  their  days  in  the  Sunshine  State.  But  a  few  trips  to  New  England  and  then  VSHFLÂżFDOO\ 9HUPRQW DQG *DU\ EHJDQ to  ponder  the  â€œwhat  ifsâ€?  of  a  move  to  the  Green  Mountains. After  months  of  discussion  and  several  trips,  Nancy  agreed  to  the  move. “It  was  a  big  decision,  to  start  over  as  two  individuals,  and  as  a  couple,â€?  Nancy  said.  â€œIt’s  often  very  hard  on  a  marriage.â€? Âł%XW RXUV MXVW JRW EHWWHU ´ *DU\ chimed  in.  Nancy  explained: “We’ve  always  been  a  couple  where  we  would  diverge  and  then Â

come  back  together.  Moving  here  was  a  completely  fascinating  experience.  It  was  like  stepping  off  a  cliff.â€? And  even  though  they  thought  they  knew  what  community  was  and  had  experienced  it,  the  Meffes  readily  ad-­ mit  that  they  didn’t  realize  that  it  has  layers  and  Vermont’s  is  the  deepest. “We  knew  we  were  looking  for  a  community,â€?  Gary  said.  â€œBut  we  didn’t  realize  the  depths  of  what  that  meant  or  the  importance  of  it  until  we  got  to  Brandon.â€? GET  OUT  WHAT  YOU  PUT  IN While  at  its  core,  the  book  is  a  les-­ son  in  what’s  good  about  Brandon  in  particular  and  Vermont  in  general,  Meffe  does  take  time  to  expound  on  some  of  his  personal  pet  peeves;Íž  for  instance,  the  rise  of  hyperbole  in  American  slang  and  what  he  deems  is  the  misuse  of  words  like  â€œawesome,â€?  â€œamazingâ€?  and  â€œincredible,â€?  as  well  as  the  phrases  â€œyou  guysâ€?  and  â€œno  problemâ€?  and  the  overuse  of  â€œlike.â€? Meffe  not  only  expounds  on  the  satisfaction  he  and  Nancy  have  found  in  Vermont  living,  he  also  challenges  WKRVH UHDGHUV ZKR PD\ QRW EH HQMR\-­ ing  the  same  connection  to  place.  And  that  challenge  extends  to  what  a  per-­ son  gives  back  in  return. “If  your  home  is  merely  a  postal  address  to  you,  then  you  may  be  missing  out  on  a  much  richer  and  more  rewarding  life,â€?  he  writes.  â€œTo  live  well  in  a  place,  to  have  it  work  well  for  you,  to  become  part  of  the  fabric  of  the  community  and  the  state,  you  have  some  obligations  and  re-­ sponsibilities  â€Ś  Good  and  rewarding  citizenship  and  living  well  in  a  place  requires  greater  effort  than  that.  Just  like  any  chosen  home,  you  will  get Â

out  of  Vermont  what  you  put  into  it.  Offer  little,  and  little  will  be  returned.  Give  of  yourself  and  engage  with  the  community  and  you  will  be  rich.â€? There  are  also  essays  on  the  dis-­ covery  of  buying  local  and  the  impor-­ tance  of  knowing  the  person  who  you  are  buying  from.  Meffe  also  high-­ lights  the  people  he  and  Nancy  have  met  and  those  who  have  touched  their  lives  and  welcomed  them  into  the  community.  Nancy  is  an  avid  weav-­ HU DQG ÂżEHU DUWLVW DQG LQ RQH HVVD\ *DU\ ÂżQGV D ZD\ RI FRQQHFWLQJ ZHDY-­ ing  and  Calvin  Coolidge,  one  of  Ver-­ mont’s  favorite  sons. “I  like  to  make  connections  between  things  you  wouldn’t  think  to  make  connections  to,â€?  he  said.  â€œI  like  to  use  seemingly  everyday,  mundane  events  to  draw  larger  lessons.  In  these  es-­

says,  I  tried  to  weave  into  the  discus-­ sion  things  that  are  important  to  me,  environmental  and  social  issues  that  are  important  to  me,  things  that  people  should  be  thinking  about  without  be-­ ing  on  a  soapbox,  and  that  goes  be-­ yond  Brandon  and  beyond  Vermont.â€? Ultimately,  Meffe  has  penned  a  loving  tribute  to  his  new  hometown  and  the  Green  Mountain  State. “Sometimes  we  get  up  and  we  say  â€˜Look  where  we  live!  We  live  in  a  log  cabin  in  the  foothills  of  the  Green  Mountains!’â€?  Meffe  said  with  a  smile.  â€œThe  book  is  really  my  â€˜thank  you’  to  this  being  a  really  cool  place.â€? “Van  Cortland  Chroniclesâ€?  is  available  for  sale  ($14)  in  Brandon  at  Carr’s  Florist  and  Gifts  and  Book  and  Leaf  bookstore,  and  in  Middle-­ bury  at  the  Vermont  Book  Shop.

Foundation given tennis facility as a gift By  JOHN  S.  McCRIGHT MIDDLEBURY  â€”  One  of  the  state’s  premier  philanthropic  foun-­ dations  on  Wednesday  announced  that  it  will  take  ownership  of  the  Middlebury  Indoor  Tennis  facility.  2IÂżFLDOV DW WKH 9HUPRQW &RP-­ munity  Foundation  in  Middlebury  said  the  gift  by  MIT  founders  David  and  Eleanor  Ignat  will  enable  the  VCF  to  further  its  goal  of  serving  the  community  â€”  in  particular  by  expanding  efforts  to  improve  the Â

physical  health  of  individuals  in  the  community. “One  of  our  goals  is  to  encourage  more  physical  activity  for  every-­ body,â€?  said  Stuart  Comstock-­Gay,  president  and  CEO  of  VCF. Technically,  the  MIT  facility,  located  off  Wilson  Road  near  G.  Stone  Motors,  has  been  donated  to  the  Addison  Community  Athletics  Foundation,  or  ACAF,  a  supporting  organization  of  the  Vermont  Com-­ munity  Foundation.  ACAF  will Â

own,  operate  and  support  the  facil-­ LW\ DV D QRQSURÂżW RUJDQL]DWLRQ 7KH facility  includes  three  courts,  locker  rooms  with  showers,  a  pro  shop  and  a  social  area  with  kitchen  facilities  and  a  room  for  meetings.  In  addi-­ tion  to  providing  court  time  for  club  members  and  arranging  tourna-­ ments,  MIT  already  lets  some  col-­ lege  and  high  school  students  play  there. The  Ignats,  who  opened  MIT  in  2001,  have  volunteered  to  continue Â

running  the  day-­to-­day  operations  of  the  business.  They  serve  as  presi-­ dent  and  vice  president  of  the  ACAF  board  of  directors.  The  facility’s  name,  hours,  court  times,  fees  and  staff  will  remain  the  same. The  foundation  plans  to  hire  a  new  program  coordinator  to  oversee  the  existing  business  and  expand  op-­ erations  to  match  the  ACAF’s  mis-­ sion  of  encouraging  more  physical  DFWLYLW\ $V 9&) RIÂżFLDOV SRLQWHG out,  research  shows  that  tennis  and  other  physical  activity  have  a  posi-­ tive  effect  on  emotional  and  mental  well-­being. One  thing  the  new  program  co-­ ordinator  will  do  is  reach  out  to  schools,  child  care  providers  such  DV WKH $GGLVRQ &RXQW\ 3DUHQW &KLOG Center  and  the  Mary  Johnson  Chil-­ dren’s  Center,  and  town  recreation  program  directors  to  increase  the  range  of  people  who  use  MIT,  ac-­ cording  to  Jen  Peterson,  VCF’s  vice  president  for  Program  and  Grants.  Beyond  tennis,  she  and  Comstock-­ Gay  said  they  can  foresee  other  physical  activities  in  the  facility  such  at  indoor  soccer  and  indoor  playtime  for  youngsters. Another  expanded  use  could  in-­ volve  running  a  learning  kitchen  where  people  could  take  classes  on  healthy  cooking. “Our  interest  is  in  having  it  be  as  accessible  as  possible,â€?  Peterson  said. “I  can’t  imagine  this  succeeding  without  close  collaboration  with  schools,  the  town  and  others  who  provider  services  to  children  and  se-­ niors,â€?  Comstock-­Gay  said. HOW  IT  CAME  ABOUT The  Ignats  approach  the  VCF  in  2011  with  the  idea  of  giving  the  fa-­ cility  to  the  foundation.  The  VCF  then  created  the  ACAF  in  2012  as Â

Shumlin  appoints  Holmes  to  state  care  board MONTPELIER  â€”  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  appointed  Jessica  Holmes,  a  Middlebury  College  professor  of  Economics,  including  Health  Eco-­ QRPLFV WR VHUYH RQ WKH ÂżYH PHPEHU Green  Mountain  Care  Board.  She  will  serve  a  six-­year  term,  replacing  out-­ going  member  Karen  Hein  of  Jack-­ sonville,  whose  term  expired. “Jessica  has  extensive  academic  and  professional  experience  in  health  care  economics,â€?  said  Gov.  Shumlin.  â€œShe  comes  to  the  board  with  an  in-­ depth  knowledge  of  how  the  health  care  system  is  funded  currently,  and  the  ability  to  analyze  options  for  con-­ trolling  costs  now  and  into  the  fu-­ ture.â€?

“I  have  been  impressed  by  the  work  of  the  board  to  date,  and  I  am  honored  to  serve  the  people  of  Vermont  in  this  capacity,â€?  said  Holmes,  a  Cornwall  resident.  â€œVermont  is  uniquely  po-­ sitioned  to  be  a  leader  in  health  care  reform.  We  are  a  small,  healthy  state  with  collaborative  stakeholders,  high  quality  providers,  and  a  governor  and  Legislature  who  put  health  care  reform  at  the  top  of  the  priority  list.  Our  efforts  here  can  serve  as  a  model  for  the  rest  of  the  country  and  I  am  excited  to  be  a  part  of  that  process. “I  hope  to  bring  an  economist’s  lens  and  analytical  toolkit  to  the  board,â€?  she  added.  â€œUsing  data  to  better  un-­ derstand  how  and  where  our  resourc-­

other  members  are  Colchester  physi-­ cian  Allan  Ramsay,  former  University  of  Vermont  professor  of  Nursing  and  Health  Policy  Betty  Rambur,  and  past  Human  Services  Secretary  Con  Ho-­ JDQ RI 3ODLQÂżHOG Holmes  graduated  from  Colgate  University  and  earned  a  PhD  in  Eco-­ nomics  â€”  with  expertise  in  Health  Economics,  Labor  Economics,  Pub-­ lic  Finance  and  Microeconomics  â€”  from  Yale  University. She  is  a  professor  of  Economics  at  Middlebury  College  and  Director  of  MiddCORE,  Middlebury’s  leadership  and  innovation  program.  Holmes  also  serves  on  the  Porter  Medical  Center  Board.

Otter Valley thespians invited to perform in Scotland By  LEE  J.  KAHRS BRANDON  â€”  Otter  Valley  Union  High  School’s  award-­winning  Walk-­ ing  Stick  Theatre  group  has  been  cho-­ sen  to  perform  in  the  world-­renowned  Fringe  Festival  in  Scotland  next  sum-­ mer.

But  the  group  is  really  hoping  that  a  weekly  fundraiser  called  â€œChase  the  Aceâ€?  will  be  their  ace  in  the  hole,  so  to  speak.

Candidates  in  Lt.  Governor  race  offer  a  distinct  choice Vermonters  have  an  interesting  choice  in  this  year’  race  for  lieutenant  governor.  ,QFXPEHQW /W *RY 3KLO 6FRWW LV D 5HSXEOLFDQ NQRZQ DV 0U 1LFH Guy  to  many  Vermonters.  He’s  a  can-­do,  roll-­up-­your-­sleeves  kind  of  a  JX\ÂśV JX\ ZKR LV FR RZQHU RI D FRQVWUXFWLRQ ÂżUP +H UDFHV FDUV IRU IXQ and  rides  his  road  bike  for  exercise.  Progressive-­Democrat  Dean  Corren,  59,  is  more  the  policy  wonk.  An  engineer  by  training,  and  state  representa-­ tive  for  four  terms  between  1993-­2000,  he  knows  state  policy  inside  out,  just  as  he  knows  the  business  and  science  of  energy  technology.  He’s  the  FKLHI WHFKQRORJ\ RIÂżFHU IRU 9HUGDQW 3RZHU ,QF D VXVWDLQDEOH HQHUJ\ FRP-­ pany  that  develops  underwater  hydropower  systems.  Both  candidates  are  leaders  in  their  businesses,  successful  and  motivated  to  do  right  by  Vermont.  Scott’s  appeal,  ironically,  is  that  he  prefers  to  be  the  anti-­politician.  He  avoids  political  battles,  talks  in  vague  generalities  on  the  issues,  and  states  Ă€DWO\ WKDW KH LV QRW ÂłDQ DFWLYLVW´ ² E\ ZKLFK KH PHDQV KH LV QRW RQH WR WDNH a  leadership  position  for  the  GOP  and  toss  hand  grenades  at  the  opposition.  He  may  vote  differently  than  the  Democratic  majority  in  the  Senate,  but  he  ZRQÂśW JHW LQWR D GRJÂżJKW WR FKDPSLRQ KLV YLHZSRLQW Corren  would,  and  fall  on  his  sword  if  need  be. The  chief  issue  Corren  champions  is  health  care  reform.  He  is  an  ardent  DGYRFDWH IRU PRYLQJ WR D VLQJOH SD\LQJ V\VWHP DV TXLFNO\ DV WKH VWDWH FDQ effectively  manage  it.  Nor  is  that  a  reckless  move,  in  his  mind.  On  the  contrary,  moving  too  slowly  would  be  more  reckless  and  irresponsible.  To  prove  his  case,  he  uses  the  same  math  as  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin:  that  is,  we  can’t  afford  not  to  change  to  a  new  system.  With  health  care  costs  increas-­ LQJ DW GRXEOH RU WULSOH LQĂ€DWLRQ WKDWÂśV VLPSO\ QRW D VXVWDLQDEOH UDWH IRU WKH state  to  absorb.  Furthermore,  if  the  health  care  system  is  changed  from  fee-­for-­system  to  preventative  care,  that’s  the  only  long-­range  solution  to  eventually  contain  costs. There  are  no  â€œifs  or  butsâ€?  about  it,  Corren  says.  It’s  a  change  the  state  and  the  country  need  to  make.  On  this  most  critical  of  all  issues  facing  the  state,  Scott  remains  noncom-­ mittal.  While  he  doesn’t  like  the  uncertainty  of  Gov.  Shumlin’s  proposed  move  to  single  payer,  he  says  he’s  open  to  learning  more  about  it  and  even  goes  as  far  as  to  say  that  a  single-­payer  system  might  be  the  best  option  out  WKHUH IRU WKH ORQJ WHUP ² D SRVLWLRQ WKDW IUXVWUDWHV WKH VWDWH 5HSXEOLFDQ Party  to  no  end.  Still,  he  won’t  endorse  the  single  payer  option  until  he’s  convinced  that  the  details  of  the  system  will  really  provide  the  savings  as  promised,  and  he  points  out  that  unless  the  state-­sponsored  plans  cover  everything  (dental,  vision,  etc.)  the  business  community  will  still  be  in  the  business  of  covering  much  of  the  cost  of  those  supplemental  policies. If  you  press  what  approach  he  most  favors  on  health  care  reform,  he’ll  say  he  advocates  following  the  national  model  under  Obamacare  and  building  a  coalition  with  other  New  England  states  like  New  Hampshire  and  Maine  â€”  that  is,  if  they’ll  have  us.  But  then  there’s  not  a  lot  of  detail  to  his  thinking. 'LWWR RQ VFKRRO ÂżQDQFH UHIRUP ,I WKHUH LV RQH LVVXH WKDW 6FRWW PDNHV D big  deal  of  it’s  that  Vermonters  are  having  a  tough  time  dealing  with  the  cost  of  living  here.  It’s  an  expensive  place  to  live,  he  says,  and  we  have  to  work  to  make  Vermont  more  affordable.  That  means,  in  part,  getting  a  handle  on  rising  property  taxes.  The  Legislature  started  to  grapple  with  it  last  year  late  in  the  session,  but  it  stalled.  It  was,  Scott  says,  â€œtoo  little,  too  late.â€?  What’s  his  solution?  Nothing  that  will  motivate  the  masses. He  says  the  state’s  funding  laws,  Act  60  and  68  need  to  be  changed,  but  then  again,  says  it  won’t  do  any  good  just  to  tweak  the  system  by  adjusting  the  income  sensitivity  provisions  of  Act  68.  He  accurately  says  the  state  needs  to  â€œaddress  the  spending  side  in  order  to  do  any  substantial  good,â€?  but  then  he’s  not  in  favor  of  forcing  consolidation.  It  should  be  encouraged,  he  said,  but  not  made  mandatory.

I  went  to  the  one  of  the  open  house  tours  and  discussion  sessions  this  past  summer,  and  found  the  school  in  much  better  condition  than  expected.  Yes,  there  are  some  is-­ sues  to  address,  but  not  $33  million  worth. I  feel  that  the  curriculum,  the  teachers,  and  the  leadership  or  lack  thereof  are  more  important  than  the  physical  space.  I  keep  hearing  that  our  school  is  not  a  conducive  envi-­ ronment  for  learning.  Again,  I  say  it  is  the  teachers,  what  they  teach  and  how  they  teach  it  that  is  more  important  than  where  they  teach  it.

I  could  not  disagree  more  with  some  recent  letters  to  the  editor  regarding  solar  power  development  in  Vermont.  We  are  so  used  to  living  lives  with  our  power  being  gener-­ ated  at  distant  power  plants  that  are  out  of  sight  and  out  of  mind  that  we  tend  to  forget  that  any  form  of  energy  production  has  its  adverse  impacts. This,  I  think,  has  resulted  in  a  statewide  problem  with  NIMBY-­ism  in  Vermont.  While  some  of  us  decry  local  solar  energy  projects,  we  seem  to  have  no  issue  with  getting  much  of  our  power  from  Hydro-­Quebec,  whose  hydroelectric  projects  have  Ă€RRGHG DQ DUHD URXJKO\ HTXDO WR 70  percent  of  the  size  of  the  state  RI 9HUPRQW DOWKRXJK RIÂżFLDOO\ categorized  as  renewable  energy,  I  respectfully  disagree).  Imagine  if  something  like  that  was  proposed  here,  we  would  never  hear  the  end  of  it.  But  this  is  in  somebody  else’s  viewshed,  affecting  somebody  else’s  culture. We  need  to  get  over  it  and  be  sup-­ portive  (proud,  even)  of  reasonable  local  energy  production  projects.  No,  nothing  is  perfect  or  without  at  least  some  impacts,  but  I  think  a  backlash  against  local  solar  en-­ ergy  production  is  nothing  short  of  hypocrisy.

Calvin’s  co-­op  plan,  which  he  recently  detailed  in  the  Addison  Independent’s  candidate  forum,  would  cut  costs  for  students  at  Vermont  State  Colleges  while  providing  them  with  tangible,  real  world  experience.  The  program  would  let  students  use  a  se-­ mester  to  participate  in  an  internship  with  a  Vermont  business  and  avoid  paying  tuition  for  that  semester.  The  plan  would  allow  Vermont  employers  and  entrepreneurs  the  opportunity  to  evaluate  potential  employees,  giving  them  a  chance  to  retain  our  young, Â

Green  energy  project  impacts  should  be  shared As  yesterday’s  article  in  the  Rut-­ land  Herald  demonstrated,  a  major  issue  in  achieving  Vermont’s  goal  of  producing  90  percent  of  its  energy  needs  from  renewable  sources  by  2050  is  how  to  balance  what  has  been  determined  to  be  the  public  good  with  the  democratic  character  of  our  society. Democracy  as  we  know  it  sprang  from  townships  in  the  colonies,  and  grew  into  the  representative  form  of  government  we  have  today.  It  is  painful  to  see  local  town  governments  and  the  respect  for  the  rights  of  its  residents  be  subjected  to  authoritarian  power  as  exercised  by  the  Public  Ser-­ vice  Board  which  gained  its  authority  by  way  of  legislation  poorly  con-­ ceived  in  Montpelier  by  a  Legislature  leveraging  the  tyranny  of  the  majority. Most  Vermonters  care  deeply  about  the  environment  and  in  my  view  should  be  supportive  of  the  drive  towards  non-­carbon-­based  renewable  sources  of  energy. Those  of  us  living  here  have  a  unique  social  contract  with  each  other  and  the  land  we  live  on,  which  in  part  determines  where  and  how  we  live  and  relate  to  our  neighbors.  That  is  why  we  have  town  plans  and  local  ]RQLQJ RUGLQDQFHV :LWKRXW WKHVH mutually  agreed  upon  and  gener-­ ally  accepted  rules  of  behavior  and  governance,  individuals  living  in  a  residential  area,  or  in  an  area  zoned  IRU DJULFXOWXUH ZRXOG ÂżQG WKHLU ORFDO environment  and  property  values  in  constant  jeopardy  due  to  the  pos-­

sibility  that  a  neighbor  would  build  a  factory  or  some  other  commercial  enterprise  next  to  them. That’s  why  we  have  zoning  laws.  :LWKRXW WKHP RQH SHUVRQÂśV SURÂżW PR-­ tive  can  destroy  the  lifestyle,  environ-­ ment  and  property  values  of  his  or  her  QHLJKERUV :LWKRXW UHJXODWLRQ WKLV behavior  tears  at  the  social  fabric  of  a  community  and  sows  disharmony  among  its  citizens.  Peace  and  comity  are  extremely  valuable  public  goods,  and  that’s  why  we  have  local  zoning  ordinances. The  solution  to  achieving  our  public  good  is  not  going  to  be  found  by  an  insensitive  PSB  in  concert  with  private  solar  developers  overriding  local  zoning  laws  and  beating  towns  into  submission.  That  is  a  recipe  for  a  very  nasty  and  unnecessary  battle.  An  article  in  today’s  Rutland  Herald  covers  a  very  large  power  project,  the  $1.2  billion  New  England  Clean  Power  Link,  where  the  developer  TDI  New  England  appears  to  be  working  very  hard  with  local  governments  to  meet  the  needs  of  individual  com-­ munities.  This  level  of  cooperation  is  missing  with  some  arrogant  develop-­ ers  wishing  to  develop  solar  installa-­ tions  knowing  that  the  PSB  has  their  back. A  solution  could  be  found  in  leg-­ islation  that  changes  the  relationship  between  the  PSB,  local  communities  and  private  developers  from  the  cur-­ rent  exercise  of  arbitrary  power  to  one  of  cooperative  effort.  Just  as  the  cost  of  climate  change  is  borne  by  virtu-­

Letters to the Editor PSB  should  reopen  debate  on  Phase  I  pipeline  project I  call  on  the  Public  Service  Board  to  re-­open  discussion  of  the  permit  for  Phase  I  of  the  fracked  gas  pipe-­ line.  Here  are  some  of  the  reasons. 1)  The  outrageous  cost  overrun  of  40  percent,  which  equals  millions  of  dollars  â€”  and  guess  what?  â€”  it  will  be  foisted  off  on  the  unknow-­ ing  ratepayers  of  Chittenden  and  Franklin  counties.  How  did  this  international  company,  Gaz  MĂŠtro/ Vermont  Gas  make  such  a  huge  miscalculation?  And  WHY  did  they  delay  making  the  error  public  for  at  least  four  months?  What  happens  in  two  months,  or  six,  or  a  year,  when  they’ve  found  that,  â€œoh,  whoops,  we  made  another  mistake  â€”  it’s  going  to  cost  another  40%,  or  60%,  or  an-­ other  $100  million,â€?  paid  by  â€”  you  guessed  it:  the  poor,  beleaguered  ratepayers? 2)  There  is  new  technology  avail-­ able  now  that  was  not  a  year  ago.  Cold  climate  heat  pumps  are  far  PRUH HIÂżFLHQW ZRUNLQJ DV D FRP-­ bination  heater  and  air  conditioner;Íž  they  do  not  involve  fossil  fuels,  and Â

are  run  by  electricity.  If  you  have  solar  panels,  and  a  heat  pump,  you  can  be  net  zero,  which  gets  Vermont  faster  to  our  goal  of  90  percent  renewables  by  2050.  Heat  pumps  are  far  more  cost-­effective  than  building  an  already  obsolete  fossil  fuel  infrastructure  for  fracked  gas  from  Canada.  Similar  to  the  light  EXOE SURJUDP WKURXJK (IÂżFLHQF\ Vermont,  heat  pumps  receive  a  ¿QDQFLDO LQFHQWLYH IURP WKH VWDWH 3)  In  their  haste  to  force  this  project  upon  Vermonters,  willing  or  not  (and  the  overwhelming  majority  is  not),  Gaz  MĂŠtro/  Vermont  Gas  has  been  bullying  and  arrogant.  They’ve  refused  to  meet  with  landowners  and  town  selectboards;Íž  their  agents  have  illegally  trespassed  upon  landown-­ ers’  property  and  refused  to  give  information  about  their  plans.  They  casually  and  deliberately  changed  the  name  of  the  project  in  mid-­stream  to  Addison-­Rutland  NG  Project,  with  full  knowledge  that  each  phase  is  separate,  and  needs  its  own  permit,  for  subliminal  emphasis  on  â€œgetting Â

gas  to  Rutland  sooner.â€? Their  ultimate  goal  is  to  connect  south  with  the  national  grid,  since  Vermont  does  not  have  the  popula-­ WLRQ GHQVLW\ QHHGHG IRU WUXH SURÂżW from  gas  distribution. 4)  A  state  program  of  weatheriza-­ tion  would  bring  far  more  ongoing  sustainable  jobs  to  our  state,  similar  to  the  WPA  state  and  government  jobs  program  after  the  Depression,  to  put  people  to  work,  conserve  energy  and  help  our  state  reach  our  goal  of  getting  off  fossil  fuels  and  reducing  emissions. We  want  more  answers  and  trans-­ parency  on  this  project,  which  was  presented  to  the  state  and  its  people  by  Gaz  MĂŠtro/Vermont  Gas  care-­ lessly  and  with  a  presumption  of  unassailable  good.  We  ask  that  the  PSB  do  their  required  due  diligence  DQG IXOÂżOO WKHLU FRPPLWPHQW WR VHUY-­ ing  Vermonters  by  examining  care-­ fully  and  impartially  the  project’s  true  and  ballooning  costs.

Nuovo,  Sheldon  would  make  great  legislative  team There  are  many  reasons  to  sup-­ port  Betty  Nuovo  and  Amy  Sheldon  in  the  coming  election  for  state  representative  from  Middlebury.  One  reason  is  that  both  Nuovo  and  Sheldon  have  already  demonstrated  their  commitment  to  the  town  of  Middlebury  through  their  many  con-­ structive  contributions  over  the  last  two  decades. Rep.  Nuovo  has  already  represent-­ ed  our  town  well  in  the  Legislature,  chaired  the  Judiciary  Committee,  sponsored  the  Equal  Rights  Amend-­ ment,  and  worked  on  minimum  wage,  hate  crime  and  same-­sex  marriage  legislation.  She  has  con-­ tributed  as  a  member  of  the  Natural  Resources  Committee  to  legislation Â

The  towns  in  Addison  County  received  the  support  of  the  Addison  County  Regional  Planning  Com-­ mission  through  its  Transportation/ Senior  Planner  Daryl  Benoit.  Daryl  Benoit  recently  resigned  his  position  with  the  Addison  County  Regional  Planning  Commission.  We  need  to  thank  him  for  all  the  services  he  provided  the  member  towns  and  the  substantial  role  he  played  in  apply-­ ing  for  grants  and  projects,  which  in  the  past  year  or  two  has  greatly  EHQHÂżWHG :H\EULGJH 0LGGOHEXU\ and  the  county  as  a  whole. The  Pulp  Mill  Bridge  project  included  the  application  for  and  funding  a  grant  for  $760,000  ben-­ HÂżWLQJ ERWK WKH WRZQ RI :H\EULGJH and  the  town  of  Middlebury.  The  project  included  the  connection  of  the  pedestrian  crossing  with  a  side-­ walk  to  the  end  of  the  sidewalk  on  Seymour  Street  and  the  connection Â

and  partnered  with  Steve  Womack  (R-­Ark.)  to  ensure  that  brewers  could  give  their  spent  grain  to  farm-­ ers  for  their  livestock. Congressman  Welch  reached  across  the  aisle  to  Rep.  Trey  Gowdy  (R-­S.C.)  to  pass  two  college  afford-­ ability  amendments  in  the  Advanc-­ ing  Competency-­Based  Education  Demonstration  Act. In  2012  Congressman  Welch  col-­ laborated  with  Rep.  David  Schweik-­ ert  (R-­Ariz.)  on  the  adoption  of  the  Jumpstart  Our  Business  Startups  Act,  an  act  designed  to  encourage  funding  for  small  businesses. Recently  Congressman  Welch  has Â

worked  with  Rep.  David  McKinley  (R-­W.V.)  on  a  program  to  assist  coal  miners  who  have  lost  their  jobs  due  to  the  downturn  in  the  mining  of  coal.  Despite  Peter’s  strong  stance  on  the  need  to  address  climate  change,  he  and  McKinley  hope  to  transcend  party  lines  and  help  work-­ ing  class  Americans  get  back  to  work  and  feed  their  families. Peter  Welch  deserves  the  support  of  Vermonters  in  November.  Only  with  representative  such  as  Peter  can  we  hope  to  move  forward  on  the  important  issues  facing  America. Richard  C.  Hiscock Ferrisburgh

Carbon  tax  could  help  pay  for  weatherization  efforts ognize  this  pressing  need,  all  the  voluntary  efforts  to  reduce  carbon  emissions  will  be  like  a  drop  in  the  bucket. A  carbon  tax  can  be  structured  so  as  not  to  hurt  those  unable  to  afford  it.  The  proceeds  from  the  tax  would  be  used  to  increase  drastically  the  support  for  weatherization  efforts  and  renewable  energy  develop-­ ment.  Just  as  a  tax  on  cigarettes  has  lowered  smoking  rates  and  helped  pay  for  anti-­smoking  campaigns,  a  carbon  tax  would  be  a  strong  incentive  for  homeowners  and  businesses  to  reduce  their  use  of Â

fossil  fuels  and  invest  in  money-­ saving  weatherization  and  renew-­ able  energy. For  those  concerned  about  cli-­ mate  change,  a  simple  action  you  can  take  is  to  write  a  letter  to  our  senators,  congressman,  the  gover-­ nor,  your  legislator,  and  candidates  for  those  positions  and  say  you  support  a  progressive  carbon  tax.  We  are  running  out  of  time  to  make  a  difference,  but  we  still  have  time  to  at  least  slow  down  the  damage  if  we  all  work  together.  Fran  Putnam Weybridge

Board Member Spotlight Martha Alexander

The  folks  at   the  Parent/Child  Center  believe  that  all  parents  want  to  be  good  parents.  Sometimes  they  just  need  help.  Staff  members  treat  everyone  who  walks  through  the  door  with  respect.  They  show  people  tools  that  work.  Whether  they  are  helping  a  family  in  crisis,  a  child  with  special  needs,  or  a  young  person  learning  to  parent  a  child,  the  staff  members  are  patient,  resilient  and  resourceful.  Our  county  is  tremendously  fortunate  to  have  the  Parent/Child  Center.

If  the  business  â€”  which  Gaucher  said  has  had  to  turn  away  work  be-­ cause  of  strong  demand  â€”  does  not  survive,  the  move  to  Middlebury  would  fail,  and  a  dozen  jobs  would  be  lost  in  the  short  and  long  term  in  both  communities.  â€œMy  interest  is  helping  Carl,â€?  Gaucher  said.  â€œI  want  him  to  stay  in  business.  I  want  his  employees  to  stay  employees.â€?

MIDDLEBURY  COLLEGE  MUSIC  Professor  Peter  Hamlin  is  working  with  Middlebury  Actors  Workshop  Di-­ rector  Melissa  Lourie  on  an  original  electronic  score  for  the  upcoming  production  of  â€œDr.  Jekyll  and  Mr.  Hyde.â€?  The  show  opens  at  the  Town  Hall  Theater  on  Oct.  23. Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell

the  score  since  June. “He’s  a  really  fun  guy  to  work  with,â€?  Lourie  said.  â€œHis  musical  taste  and  range  made  him  a  great  choice  for  the  part.â€? While  writing  the  score,  the  two  went  through  the  play  scene  by  scene,  analyzing  the  mood  and  the  characters.  Hamlin  would  create  sev-­ eral  possibilities  for  each  scene.  The  music,  Lourie  said,  plays  a  key  role  in  creating  a  world  not  entirely  real.  There  will  be  everything  from  low,  ominous  thrumming  sounds  to  recognizable  string  parts  that  the  di-­ rector  describes  as  â€œtwisted,  modern-­ ized  or  distilled.â€?  â€œEven  though  it’s  not  a  musical,  there  are  lots  of  scenes  that  move  at  a  fast  pace  and  with  lots  of  energy,â€?  she  said.  â€œThe  music  helps  swoop  into  a  setting  and  keep  the  energy Â

of  the  performance  moving  forward  where  the  scene  otherwise  might  seem  static.â€?  As  Hamlin  wraps  up  the  score,  he  is  meeting  and  working  with  the  FDVW LQ WKH ÂżQDO ZHHNV RI SURGXFWLRQ a  style  of  rehearsal  that  is  another  departure  from  his  previous  experi-­ ences.  When  working  with  an  or-­ chestra,  he  could  deliver  a  script  and  the  orchestra  would  be  prepared  after  several  rehearsals.  Even  though  the  score  for  the  play  ZLOO EH FORVH WR ÂżQLVKHG ZKHQ KH brings  it  to  the  theater,  he’ll  still  have  to  make  changes.  â€œIt’s  much  more  interacted  and  complicated,â€?  he  said.  â€œI  can’t  just  deliver  the  score,  I  have  to  be  there  and  make  those  changes  even  as  late  as  the  last  week.  I  might  be  misjudg-­ ing  how  fast  an  actor  is  talking  and Â

the  music  goes  too  long  or  too  slow-­ ly,  or  I  might  feel  that  something  has  too  much  activity  and  is  distracting  from  the  text.â€?  The  editing  will  be  easier  than  in  the  early  days  of  analog  musical  re-­ cording,  when  Hamlin  would  listen  through  reels  of  tape  and  then  physi-­ cally  snip  out  an  excerpt  with  a  pair  of  scissors.  Hamlin  said,  in  those  days,  the  â€œUndoâ€?  button  meant  dig-­ ging  through  the  plastic  garbage  bag  for  the  section  of  tape  he  had  had  previously  cut  out  and  then  taping  it  back  in.  But  when  the  curtain  rises  on  opening  night  of  â€œJekyll  and  Hyde,â€?  he  said,  the  result  of  his  work  will  speak  for  itself.  â€œI  want  people  to  feel  a  little  un-­ comfortable,â€?  he  said.  â€œI  want  them  looking  behind  them.â€?
