Connor  Homes  sees  resurgence Orders,  workforce  on  the  rise

By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  The  past  eight  years  have  been  somewhat  of  a  rollercoaster  ride  for  Connor  Homes,  a  Middlebury-­based  builder  of  historic  reproduction  “kit�  homes.

The  company  boosted  its  workforce  from  a  mere  handful  to  32  in  2006  as  demand  for  its  products  grew.  In  2007,  company  founder  Michael  Connor  moved  the  operation  from  a  14,000-­square-­foot  space  off  Ex-­

change  Street  into  the  118,000-­square-­foot  former  head-­ quarters  of  Standard  Register  off  Route  7  South.  Connor  Homes  quickly  mushroomed  to  70  employees.

But  when  the  Great  Recession  swept  the  country  in  2008,  it  hit  Connor  Homes  —  and  the  home  building  industry  in  general  —  especially  hard.  People  who  had  been  eager  to  invest  in  new  abodes  suddenly  became  wary  of  making  such  a  large  outlay  amid  a  very  shaky  economy. “In  2008,  we  had  a  lot  of  (orders)  on  the  books  that  (See  Connor,  Page  28)

By  DAVID  WEIL,  administrator  of  the  Wage  and  Hour  Division  of  the  U.S.  Department  of  Labor The  U.S.  Department  of  Labor  has  issued  a  new  publication  and  video  to  provide  agricultural  employers  and  workers  with  simple,  clear  informa-­ tion  on  the  laws  governing  employ-­ ment  of  agricultural  and  farm  workers.

The  law  requires  employers  to  keep  their  workers  safe  on  the  job,  housed  in  safe  and  sanitary  residen-­ tial  facilities,  and  to  pay  them  their  legally  required  wages.  The  Wage  and  Hour  Division  of  the  Department  of  Labor  enforces  the  law  to  protect  workers,  and  also  ensure  that  busi-­ nesses  playing  by  the  rules  aren’t  hurt  by  those  who  reduce  their  labor  costs  by  breaking  the  law  and  cheat-­ ing  their  workers.

Education  and  outreach  has  been  and  will  continue  to  be  one  of  our  key  strategies  for  promoting  sustained  industry  wide  compliance.  Workers  who  are  aware  of  their  rights  and  em-­ ployers  who  are  aware  of  their  legal  responsibilities  are  able  to  identify  DQG ¿[ ODERU YLRODWLRQV RU WR SUHYHQW WKHP IURP RFFXUULQJ LQ WKH ¿UVW SODFH To  help,  we’ve  developed  new  ma-­ terials  in  English  and  Spanish  to  help  agricultural  employers  and  workers  better  understand  their  responsibili-­ ties  and  rights.  A  new  video  and  a  new  booklet  for  employers  provide  simple  and  comprehensive  information  on  the  laws  and  requirements  governing  agri-­ cultural  employment,  covering  topics  including  wages,  housing,  transporta-­ WLRQ DQG ¿HOG VDQLWDWLRQ We  are  also  releasing  a  revised  pocket  card  for  agricultural  workers  that  informs  them  of  their  rights  and  SURYLGHV LQIRUPDWLRQ RQ KRZ WR ¿OH a  complaint  with  the  Wage  and  Hour  Division  if  they  believe  these  rights  have  been  violated.

Vermont  Gas  to  pay  Velco  for  right-­of-­way By  JOHN  HERRICK VTDigger.org VERMONT  —  The  state’s  trans-­ mission  utility  has  set  a  price  for  Vermont  Gas  to  use  its  utility  corri-­ dor  as  part  of  Phase  1  of  its  natural  gas  pipeline  extension  through  Ad-­ dison  County.

Vermont  Gas  spokesman  Steve  Wark  late  last  month  said  the  com-­ pany  intends  to  pay  $450,000  for  about  51  acres  within  the  utility  corridor.  The  price  includes  access  roads,  he  said.

The  company  plans  to  route  sections  of  a  41-­mile  pipeline  ex-­ tension  through  a  utility  corridor  owned  by  Vermont  Electric  Power  Co.,  or  Velco.  Vermont  Gas  said  it  has  already  started  site  work  in  one  section  of  the  corridor.

Wark  said  Vermont  Gas  supports  WKH ÂżQDQFLDO DJUHHPHQW ZLWK 9HOFR but  has  not  signed  it. “We  believe  it  to  be  fair.  Obvi-­ ously,  we  would  like  it  to  be  less  if  we  could,â€?  Wark  said.

Velco  Vice  President  Kerrick  Johnson  said  the  price  is  designed  to  strike  a  balance  between  state  land  use  and  energy  planning  pol-­ icy,  the  safety  and  reliability  of  the  VWDWHœV HOHFWULF JULG DQG ÀH[LELOLW\ to  accommodate  any  future  uses  of  the  corridor,  such  as  new  transmis-­ sion  lines.

Johnson  said  the  right  of  way  for  Vermont  Gas  could  set  a  new  prec-­ edent  for  future  uses  in  utility  cor-­ ridors,  including  co-­locating  elec-­ tric  and  gas  infrastructure.

The  cost  of  the  company’s  pipe-­ line  will  be  $121  million,  up  from  the  original  estimate  of  $83  million  submitted  to  state  regulators  last  year.

Wark  said  the  cost  of  using  the  utility  corridor  was  included  in  the  company’s  most  recent  estimate  ¿OHG WR WKH 9HUPRQW 3XEOLF 6HUYLFH Board.

The  Vermont  Public  Service  Board  has  ordered  the  company  not  to  work  in  all  but  one  section  of  the  corridor  as  part  of  its  investigation  into  soil  contamination  resulting  from  a  toxic  chemical  used  to  treat  utility  poles.

FEDERAL  WAIVER  NEEDED Separately,  state  regulators  also  late  last  month  questioned  wheth-­ er  to  postpone  review  of  Vermont  Gas’  proposed  pipeline  extension  from  Middlebury  to  New  York,  what  is  known  as  Phase  2.

The  South  Burlington  natural  gas  utility  must  obtain  a  federal  regula-­ tory  waiver  before  the  state  has  the  authority  to  approve  the  pipeline  project  that  crosses  state  lines  to  the  International  Paper  mill  in  Ti-­ conderoga,  N.Y. %XW ¿UVW 9HUPRQW *DV PXVW VXE-­ mit  an  application  for  a  section  of  the  project  to  New  York  regulators  for  approval.  Wark  said  the  com-­ SDQ\ ZRQœW ¿OH DQ DSSOLFDWLRQ XQWLO September.

Without  this  application,  federal  regulators  may  not  decide  on  the  waiver.  Until  Vermont  Gas  obtains Â

the  waiver,  the  state  does  not  have  full  authority  to  permit  the  pipe-­ line.

Vermont  Gas  applied  for  the  state  permit  last  year.  The  Vermont  Public  Service  Board  is  now  asking  parties  involved  in  the  permit  ap-­ plication  if  hearings  scheduled  for  October  should  be  changed.

Wark  said  Vermont  Gas  wants  to  keep  the  hearings  scheduled  for  October.

The  Federal  Energy  Regulatory  Commission,  or  FERC,  must  issue  the  company  a  federal  review  ex-­ emption  under  the  Natural  Gas  Act  in  order  for  Vermont  regulators  to  have  jurisdiction  over  the  project.

Vermont  Public  Interest  Re-­ search  Group,  an  environmental  advocacy  group  opposing  the  pipe-­ line,  requested  in  January  that  Ver-­ mont  regulators  throw  out  the  case  because  it  did  not  have  jurisdic-­ tion.  VPIRG  also  asked  FERC  to  deny  Vermont  Gas’  waiver  request.

The  board  denied  VPIRG’s  mo-­ tion  to  dismiss  the  case  in  February  based  on  information  Vermont  Gas  provided  indicating  it  would  re-­ ceive  a  decision  on  the  waiver  from  FERC  by  late  spring  this  year,  the  board  said  in  last  month’s  ruling.

Vermont  Gas  on  Aug.  1  told  the  Public  Service  Board  it  would  have  its  application  to  New  York  regula-­ tors  completed  shortly.

But  Wark  said  the  company  had  to  relocate  a  gate  station  on  the  New  York  side  of  the  project.  The  other  part  of  the  application  in-­ cludes  a  section  of  pipeline  to  con-­ nect  the  gas  to  the  paper  mill.

Jim  Dumont  is  a  Bristol  attorney  representing  pipeline  opponents,  including  VPIRG.  He  requested  that  state  regulators  drop  the  case  because  he  said  it  remains  unclear  whether  the  state’s  Section  248  re-­ view  process  is  even  the  right  pro-­ cess.  He  said  the  parties  are  spend-­ ing  time  and  money  on  a  case  that  may  not  exist.

The  Conservation  Law  Founda-­ WLRQ DQ HQYLURQPHQWDO ODZ ÂżUP RS-­ posing  the  pipeline,  joined  VPIRG  in  asking  the  board  to  dismiss  the  case. “The  fact  that  Vermont  Gas  has  QRW PDGH DOO WKH UHTXLUHG ÂżOLQJV IRU FERC  to  rule  is  very  troubling,â€?  Sandra  Levine,  a  senior  attorney  at  the  Conservation  Law  Foundation,  said.  “Vermont  Gas  continues  to  try  and  steamroll  the  Vermont  proj-­ ect  ahead  without  doing  its  own  homework  to  make  sure  all  of  the  pieces  are  in  place.â€?

Without  the  waiver,  the  Public  Service  Board’s  decision  would  only  represent  Vermont  positions  on  the  pipeline  before  the  FERC  review  process,  regulators  say.

If  a  waiver  is  not  granted,  FERC  would  conduct  an  environmental  impact  assessment  of  the  project  on  both  sides  of  Lake  Champlain.  Dumont  said  this  could  take  six  to  12  months  followed  by  a  public  comment  period.

Przyperhart,  50,  of  Tinmouth  brings  varied  experience  in  adult  education  to  his  new  position.  He  has  most  recently  worked  for  Com-­ munity  College  of  Vermont  teach-­ ing  environmental  biology,  math-­ ematics  and  career  readiness.  He  has  been  an  administrator  for  vari-­ RXV QRQSURÂżWV DQG KDV GHYHORSHG education  programs,  including  the  educational  program  at  the  Smokey  House  Center  in  Danby,  an  organi-­ zation  dedicated  to  helping  young  Vermonters  gain  hands-­on  learning  experience  at  the  site’s  forest  and  farm. “I’ve  worked  with  students  rang-­ ing  from  preschool  age  to  senior  citizens,â€?  said  Przyperhart.  “I  love Â

Letters to the Editor Look  to  our  past  when  planning  for  Vermont’s  future Ten-­point  plan  for  restoring  Vermont: I.  “Agri-­Cultural  Preserve.â€?  For  several  decades  Vermont  has  been  systematically  plundered  of  its  physical  and  cultural  re-­ sources.  Further,  we  have  lost  over  a  hundred  thousand  acres  of  irreplaceable  farmland  to  mindless,  indiscriminate,  irreversibly  destruc-­ tive  development.  We  have  moved  from  barn  raisings  to  barn  razings,  where  countless  hundreds  of  his-­ toric  barns,  homes  and  community  structures  have  been  dismantled  to Â

be  sold  out-­of-­state,  thereby  plun-­ dering  future  generations  of  the  rich  irreplaceable  heritage  that  shaped  this  state  and  its  people.

Today,  Vermont  shall  be  declared  an  Agri-­Cultural  Preserve  where  all  natural  and  manmade  resources  from  the  noble  summits  of  the  Green  Mountains,  the  very  soul  of  Vermont,  from  grazing  pastures  and  maple  groves  to  irreplace-­ able  cultural  resources  such  as  ancient  barns,  architectural  and  historic  landmarks,  all  structures  and  facilities  over  a  half-­century  old Â

Now  we  have  mutated  into  a  sys-­ tem  of  mis-­representation,  provid-­ ing  government,  in  the  lobbies  by  the  lobbied  for  the  lobbying.  The  core  principles  of  our  Constitution  have  been  abandoned  and  we  are  reduced  to  taxation  without  repre-­ sentation.

Further,  countless  national  and  state  agencies  were  established  “to  serve  and  protect  the  public  good.�  Many  of  these  are  unelected,  unre-­ sponsive,  unaccountable  and  in  ef-­ fect  act  as  the  facilitators  of  foreign  and  out-­of-­state  encroachments  with  often-­irreversible  consequences  to  our  state  while  effectively  barring  the  citizens  from  any  recourse  or  direct  implementive  voice.

IV.  “Spirit  of  ’86.�  Now  in  the  “The  Spirit  of  ’86�  we  must  once  again  end  this  “imbecility�  to  secure  our  political  and  economic  sover-­ eignty.  We  shall  take  back  Vermont,  restore  the  Constitution  and  enforce  the  core  founding  principles.

Middlebury presents: Last week we had a visit from the mom of one of our current frontrunners.

Tina Delphia wanted to bring in a zucchini to beat her daughter Stephanie Bergeronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frontrunner.

The zucchini she brought in did beat her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite big enough to beat our new frontrunner. It was 26 inches long and 16 inches around.

2014 GARDEN GAME

the

Michael Katz came in last week with a very large tomato and a fun story. Michael said this tomato grew in his garden in Cornwall, but the seeds came from Italy. 10 years ago he and his wife went to visit the host family his daughter had stayed with in Italy when studying abroad. The tomatoes they ate while visiting were so wonderful that they asked for seeds to bring home. They have

been growing the tasty Italian tomatoes every season since. This one takes the lead for the category at 17.25 inches around!

Late last week we got an impressive entry for our zucchini category. Kurt Kaufmann stopped in to show us a big zucchini he grew in his garden in Addison. The huge veggie was 26 inches long and 17 inches around. It was really close to taking over the frontrunner spot, but was just a hair too small.

Grace Weber stopped by to show us a giant spinach leaf that she grew in her garden in Weybridge. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a category for spinach, but this leaf was so large and impressive, we wanted to take a picture anyway. It was 8 inches across and 10 inches long.

Our very first cantaloupe of the summer came in last week in the hands of Ed Blechner. He grew it in his garden in Addison. Ed said that he had another one at home, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as big. This one was an impressive 22.5 inches around.

Steve Reigle visited us to show us a cucumber that got away from him in his garden in Weybridge. He said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to let this one get so big, but that he missed it when he was harvesting.

This big cuke was 23 inches long and 10.5 inches around.

We also had visits from Floyd Hall and Linda Vanderwey last week. Linda came in with some very long rhubarb that she wanted to show us even though we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a category for it. The longest of the three she brought was 21 inches long. Floyd came later in the week and brought us some big red potatoes that he grew in Lincoln.

None of them was quite large enough to beat our frontrunner, but they were still very large for red potatoes.

Farm  aid (Continued  from  Page  1) to  this  program  for  $100,â&#x20AC;?  Leahy  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  a  great  investment  and  a  chance  to  stop  the  boom  and  bust  cycle  we  have.â&#x20AC;?

The  initiative,  called  the  Margin  Protection  Program,  is  part  of  the  2014  farm  bill,  which  Congress  passed  this  February  after  almost  two  years  of  negotiations.  It  replaces  the  Milk  In-­ come  Loss  Contract  (MILC)  program,  a  product  of  the  2007  farm  bill.

That  program  expired  in  the  fall  of  2013,  leaving  farmers  vulnerable  until  the  new  farm  bill  was  signed  by  Presi-­ dent  Obama  in  February.  Thankfully,  prices  remained  stable  through  the  winter.

The  farm  bill  is  an  omnibus  piece  of  legislation  that  sets  the  countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  farm  and  food  policy.  It  is  traditionally  SDVVHG E\ &RQJUHVV HYHU\ ÂżYH \HDUV While  the  most  recent  bill  has  been  law  for  six  months,  different  pieces  of  the  complex  legislation  are  still  being  rolled  out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  one  thing  to  pass  the  farm  bill,  but  implementing  it  is  another,â&#x20AC;?  Welch  said.

The  Margin  Protection  Program Â

(MPP),  which  is  voluntary,  protects  farmers  when  the  difference  between  the  price  of  milk  and  the  price  of  ani-­ mal  feed  falls  below  a  certain  level  set  by  the  farmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  program  will  provide  cata-­ strophic  coverage  if  the  differential  between  the  milk  price  and  gen-­ eral  feed  costs  drops  below  $4  per  hundredweight  for  two  consecutive  months,â&#x20AC;?  Vilsack  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those  who  purchase  will  receive  coverage  on  90  percent  of  their  production  history.â&#x20AC;?

For  example,  if  a  farmer  chooses  a  $4  margin,  and  if  the  price  of  feed  is  $12,  the  program  will  kick  in  if  the  price  of  milk  per  hundredweight  falls  below  $16.

The  current  price  per  milk  is  just  below  $24  per  hundredweight  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  very  good  by  any  measurement.  While  dairy  farmers  are  on  stable  footing  now,  Vilsack  said  the  USDA  knows  that  could  change  quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One  of  the  biggest  concerns  about  dairy  is  the  boom  and  bust  cycle,â&#x20AC;?  Vil-­ sack  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  reality  is  that  prices  were  dropping  more  precipitously  and  were  occurring  more  frequently,  leav-­ ing  those  small  to  mid-­sized  operators Â

less  time  to  rebound.â&#x20AC;?

A  decrease  in  demand  of  just  5  per-­ cent  could  send  prices  plummeting  by  40  to  50  percent.  In  2009,  the  last  dairy  crash,  the  price  per  hundredweight  fell  to  $10,  below  the  cost  of  production.  As  a  result,  many  dairies  in  Vermont  and  other  milk-­producing  states  went  out  of  business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  really  have  to  provide  some  sort  of  insurance  when  feed  costs  go  up  because  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  drought,  or  when  PLON SULFHV FRPH GRZQ VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ ´ Vilsack  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Margin  Protection  Programs  speak  to  that  ratio,  that  dif-­ ferential  between  feed  costs  and  milk  prices.â&#x20AC;?

A  related  dairy  initiative,  called  the  Dairy  Product  Donation  Program,  protects  against  surpluses,  which  can  send  milk  prices  into  a  tailspin.  When  demand  shrinks,  mechanisms  are  in  place  for  the  government  to  buy  the  excess  milk  and  donate  it  to  food  EDQNV DQG QRQSURÂżWV )DUPHUV GR QRW need  to  enroll  in  this  program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  the  event  there  is  a  surplus,  we  will  be  in  a  position  to  trigger  the  do-­ nation  programs  to  food  banks  and  the  like  in  the  interests  of  trying  to  stabi-­

lize  prices,â&#x20AC;?  Vilsack  said.

The  Margin  Protection  Program  has  safeguards  to  prevent  farmers  from  bilking  taxpayers  by  producing  more  milk  than  the  market  demands  and  hoping  for  a  check  from  the  USDA. When  farmers  enroll  in  the  pro-­ gram,  they  provide  the  USDA  with  their  production  levels  for  the  previ-­ RXV \HDU ,I SURGXFWLRQ VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ exceeds  those  levels  and  produces  a  surplus,  the  government  will  not  reim-­ burse  the  dairy  farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  an  incentive  for  over-­ production,â&#x20AC;?  Leahy  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  incentive  for  sensible  production.  We  want  dairy  farmers  to  stay  in  produc-­ tion,  and  we  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  anyone  gam-­ ing  the  system.â&#x20AC;?

Farmers  can  enroll  in  the  program  for  next  year  from  Sept.  2  to  Nov.  28.  Farmers  must  remain  in  the  program  through  2018  and  pay  a  minimum  of  $100  each  year,  though  they  may  choose  to  increase  their  coverage.

Leahy  acknowledged  that  many  parts  of  the  farm  bill  involve  com-­ SOH[ FDOFXODWLRQV WKDW DUH GLIÂżFXOW IRU laypersons  and  even  politicians  to  un-­ derstand,  but  assured  that  the  USDA Â

believes  they  are  sound  policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being  a  nuclear  scientist  is  easy,â&#x20AC;?  he  quipped.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fully  understanding  the  intricacies  of  dairy  programs,  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  GLIÂżFXOW ´ Leahy  said  he  would  have  liked  to  include  the  MILC  program  in  the  new  farm  bill,  but  Congressional  Repub-­ licans  objected.  He  said  the  Margin  Protection  Program  is  a  good  substi-­ tute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  did  not  want  a  farm  bill  to  go  through  that  did  not  have  some  pro-­ tection  for  dairy  farmers,  the  ones  who  need  the  help  are  the  ones  who  are  the  typical  family  farms  you  see  in  Vermont,â&#x20AC;?  Leahy  said.

Vilsack  said  he  hopes  the  program  takes  some  of  the  guesswork  out  of  the  dairy  business,  and  pointed  to  some  encouraging  statistics,  noting  that  U.S.  agriculture  exports  have  increased  for  ¿YH \HDUV DQG WKDW KH H[SHFWV $PHUL-­ can  dairy  products  to  reach  600  mil-­ lion  new  consumers  worldwide  over  the  next  decade.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  going  to  be  a  tremendous  demand  for  dairy  products,â&#x20AC;?  Vilsack  said.

Vergennes (Continued  from  Page  1) commercial  development  in  Ver-­ gennes.  On  that  Monday,  planner  Jason  Farrell  noted  that  calling  for  residen-­ tial  uses  at  all  in  the  new  Gateway  zone  was  a  change  from  previous  plan  provisions.  Most  of  the  north-­ ern  end  of  Main  Street  was  previ-­ ously  in  an  industrial  zone  that  did  not  permit  residential  uses,  he  said.

Downtown  building  owner  James  Amblo  also  asked  the  council  to  re-­ FRQVLGHU WKH ÂżUVW Ă&#x20AC;RRU KRXVLQJ EDQ in  the  Central  Business  District  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  if  a  unit  does  not  front  on  the  street.  Amblo  said  he  had  for  the  past  18  months  been  unsuccessfully  market-­ LQJ VXFK D JURXQG OHYHO XQLW DV RIÂżFH or  commercial  space.

Also,  Feuerstein  wondered  if  the  planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  call  for  new  construction  to  be  compatible  with  the  Gateway  dis-­ trictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  existing  historic  architecture  was  too  restrictive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  would  be  no  modern  archi-­ tectureâ&#x20AC;?  if  such  a  provision  were  uni-­ versal,â&#x20AC;?  Feuerstein  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps  it  would  be  good  to  not  be  compatible  and  change  things  up  a  bit.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor  Bill  Benton  said  aldermen  would  consider  the  testimony  as  they  work  quickly  to  adopt  the  plan  update. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  talk  to  more  people  and  talk  among  ourselves  and  hopefully  come  up  with  something  people  can  live  with,â&#x20AC;?  Benton  said.  City  Manager  Mel  Hawley  said  on  Wednesday  he  expects  aldermen  to  discuss  the  testimony  at  their  Sept.  9  meeting,  to  which  they  will  invite  the  members  of  the  planning  commission.  Hawley  said  aldermen  could  also  ask  planners  to  make  changes  to  the  document,  something  the  planning  commission  could  do  at  its  Sept.  15  meeting.  A  second  city  council  public  hear-­
