Bristolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  new  playground  generating  strong  feelings An  eyesore  to  some,  beautiful  to  others By  ZACH  DESPART BRISTOL  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  A  spirited  debate  about  a  new  playground  on  the  town  green  has  sprung  up  between  residents  in  the  past  several  weeks.  Some  described  the  not-­yet-­com-­ pleted  playground  as  an  eyesore,  while  others  chimed  in  to  defend  the  months  of  hard  work  of  playground  organizers.

The  discussion  began  with  a  series  of  posts  on  Front  Porch  Forum  both  criticizing  and  praising  the  play-­ ground  project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  new  playground  is  the  ugli-­ est  thing  I  have  ever  seen,â&#x20AC;?  wrote  Scott  and  Stacie  Ayotte  on  Aug.  29.

The  Ayottes  expressed  concern  that  children  would  climb  the  trunk-­ like  structures  and  fall,  leaving  the  town  vulnerable  to  lawsuits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  see  children  attempting  to  climb  one  of  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trees,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  falling  and  the  parent  suing  the  town,â&#x20AC;?  the  Ayottes  wrote.

The  next  day,  Bridget  Leopold  also  leveled  criticism  at  the  project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  new  playground  is  not  ment  (sic)  for  little  ones  and  does  not  look  safe  or  appealing,â&#x20AC;?  Leopold  wrote,  adding  that  she  will  take  her  grand-­ son  to  the  elementary  school  in  the  future.

Kathy  Forand  Sr.  said  she  believed  many  people  in  town  harbor  con-­ cerns  about  the  playground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  feel  the  same  as  many,â&#x20AC;?  she Â

wrote.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  can  not  see  how  the  play-­ JURXQG ZLOO ÂżW LQWR 0DLQ 6WUHHW %ULV-­ tol.â&#x20AC;?

But  the  posts  critical  of  the  project  spurred  even  more  posts  in  support  of  the  project  and  the  playground  committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  have  to  say  that  I  absolutely  ORYH WKH QHZ GHVLJQ ´ ZURWH 0LFKHOOH Steele.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natural  playscapes  using  natural  materials  are  really  beautiful  and  inviting  for  creative  play.â&#x20AC;?

0DU\ $QQ %R\G XUJHG UHVLGHQWV WR hold  off  on  forming  their  opinions  on  the  playground  until  it  is  complete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  know  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  bit  daunting  to  look  at  those  trees  in  their  current  state,  however  I  have  faith  it  is  going  to  be  a  beautiful  playground,â&#x20AC;?  Boyd  wrote.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;People  have  been  working  hard  every  day  so  I  want  to  appreci-­ ate  the  effort  and  vision  involved  in  this  project.â&#x20AC;?

Krista  Siringo,  a  member  of  the  Bristol  Green  Playground  Commit-­ tee,  which  is  overseeing  the  project,  urged  detractors  to  visit  the  play-­ groundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Facebook  page  to  learn  more  details  about  the  plan.  Siringo  also  assured  that  the  public  had  am-­ ple  time  to  weigh  in  on  the  project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  committee  would  also  like  to  remind  that  this  design  came  to  frui-­ tion  after  over  a  year  of  planning,  so-­ liciting  of  community  feedback  and  extensive  consultation  with  ADA  regulations,  playground  safety  rules Â

He  added  that  much  of  the  criti-­ cism  surfaced  as  his  crew  had  just  begun  construction,  when  the  play-­ ground  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  much  to  look  at. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sort  of  like  making  sausage;Íž  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  see  how  it  gets  made,â&#x20AC;?  Stoddard  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;As  soon  as  we  got  the  rafters  on  and  it  started  to  take  shape,  people  got  excited.â&#x20AC;?

Stoddard  said  his  crew  has  stayed  as  close  to  the  approved  plans  as  possible,  save  for  some  cosmetic  changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  changing  a  few  aesthetic  details  here  and  there,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

Senecal  encouraged  town  resi-­ dents  to  view  the  plans  for  the  play-­ ground  online,  or  visit  her  in  the  rec-­ UHDWLRQ GHSDUWPHQW RIÂżFH â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  be  glad  to  take  anyone  over  to  the  project  and  explain  what  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  seeing,â&#x20AC;?  Senecal  said.

Senecal  said  playground  organiz-­ ers  will  hold  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;community  buildâ&#x20AC;?  Oct.  2-­4  to  complete  the  project.  That  Thursday  through  Saturday,  Senecal  is  looking  for  dozens  of  volunteers Â

Senecal  said  the  playground  com-­ mittee  is  still  waiting  to  hear  back  on  several  grant  applications,  and  is  still  soliciting  private  donations.  For  more  information,  residents  can  visit  the  Bristol  Recreation  Department  website,  bristolrec.org.

Overwhelmingly,  threâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  few  peo-­ ple  that  have  complained,  but  pretty  overwhelmingly  positive,  people  are  very  excited.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sort  of  like  making  sausage,  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  anyone  to  see  it.  As  soon  as  we  got  rafters  and  on  started  to  take  shape  people  got  excited.

PROJECT  MOVES  FORWARD Bristol  Recreation  Director  Darla  Senecal  said  construction  on  the  playground  is  going  smoothly.

Playground  organizers  have  so  far  raised  $84,000  of  the  about  $97,000  needed  to  complete  the  project,  mostly  through  private  donations.  Senecal  said  that  early  projections  show  the  construction  coming  in  un-­ der  budget.

The  majority  of  the  project  is  funded  through  private  donations,  not  taxpayer  money.  Funds  from  the  town  totaling  $25,000  paid  for  about  a  quarter  of  the  playground.

In  addressing  the  criticism  that  has  surfaced  on  Front  Porch  Forum,  Sen-­ ecal  said  she  believes  residents  may  be  judging  the  playground  before  seeing  all  it  will  have  to  offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  a  lot  of  folks  that  respond-­ ed  saw  the  custom  piece  and  worried  it  was  the  only  piece  going  in,  when  JONATHAN  YOUNG  APPLIES  a  protective  treatment  to  a  piece  of  roof-­ in  reality  the  traditional  pieces  are  ing  for  the  new  Bristol  town  green  tree  house  playground  structure.  just  coming  later  on,â&#x20AC;?  Senecal  said.  BOBBY  STODDARD  CLIMBS  into  the  rafters  of  the  tree  house  portion  of  the  new  playground  under  con-­ Other  components  of  the  playground  will  be  added  after  the  tree  house  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  will  have  swings  and  a  jungle  struction  on  the  Bristol  town  green. is  completed  in  the  next  couple  of  weeks.

Around the bend

Your  excellent  article  on  the  changes  to  high  school  sports  due  WR WKH LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFH RI FOXE VSRUWV GLG much  to  clarify  why  some  athletes  are  choosing  club  sports  over  high  school  sports. +RZHYHU 0LNH &RUH\ KHDG FRDFK DW 0RXQW $EH LQFRUUHFWO\ implied  that  players  at  Synergy  are  required  to  give  up  school  soc-­ cer  to  play  club.  Synergy  Football  &OXE GRHV QRW UHTXLUH LWV SOD\HUV WR choose  the  club  over  high  school.  In  truth,  due  to  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;loyalty  clause,â&#x20AC;?  high  school  soccer  is  really  the  in-­ stitution  which  attempts  to  limit  or  govern  what  players  can  or  can  not  do  outside  of  school  soccer.

Synergy  has  a  number  of  players  in  the  club  who  chose  to  play  high  school  soccer  this  season.  Those  players  remain  in  good  standing  with  the  club  and  will  rejoin  the  club  in  November.  In  the  mean-­ time,  those  same  players  are  taking  advantage  of  whatever  latitude  their  schools  or  policy  will  allow  to  continue  to  train  when  they  can  with  the  club  team. &RUH\ DOVR VWDWHG Âł8QOHVV \RX are  a  true  candidate  for  Division  I,  which  very  few  Vermont  players  are,  maybe  three  or  four  per  year,  whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  point?â&#x20AC;?

The  point  is  that  Synergy  and  many  club  teams  believe  in  en-­ couraging  and  supporting  players  with  the  highest  ambitions.  Why  would  we  aim  for  anything  else?  At  Synergy  there  are  Olympic  Devel-­ opment  players,  Region  pool  play-­ ers,  and  Region  team  players,  and  SOD\HUV KHDGHG WR WKH 8 6 1DWLRQDO team  camp  in  Arizona  in  November.  There  are  at  least  2  dozen  players  in  the  program  who  are  genuine  Divi-­ sion  I  candidates.  We  feel  this  is  a  great  development  and  are  proud  of  what  those  athletes  are  accomplish-­ ing.

Chemicals  used  in  no-­till  farming In  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Field  Day  is  all  about  soil  conservation,â&#x20AC;?  published  Thursday,  Sept.  4,  Zach  Despart  writes  about  local  farmers  meeting  to  talk  about  cover  crops  and  no-­till  farming.  I  was  happy  to  learn  that  more  farm-­ ers  are  working  in  ways  that  are  bet-­ ter  for  the  land,  water  and  climate.

I  worry,  though,  that  something  is  missing  from  the  piece:  No-­till  farming  very  often  relies  on  the  herbicide  glyphosate  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  commonly  sold  as  Roundup  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  to  kill  weeds  that  have  overwintered  before  farm-­ ers  plant  their  spring  crop.

There  is  still  controversy  about  the  short-­  and  long-­term  effects  of  Roundup  on  soil,  water,  worms,  in-­ sects  and  food  grown  on  treated  soil.

Was  chemical  use  in  no-­till  farm-­ ing  part  of  the  discussion  that  day?

Recently  the  climate  movement  has  showed  its  growing  strength  through  larger  rallies.  Eighteen  months  ago,  about  40,000  of  us  gathered  on  a  bitterly  cold  day  in  Washington,  D.C.,  for  the  biggest-­ ever  climate  demonstration.  But  that  event,  while  impres-­ sively  large,  was  just  a  warm-­up  for  whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  to  come.

Letters to the Editor Different  approach  needed  to  Lake  Champlain  cleanup The  Addison  Independent  recently  reported  that  the  federal  government  has  committed  $45  million  on  the  cleanup  of  Lake  Champlain  in  Ver-­ mont.  Our  great  lake  is  worth  it  and  I  applaud  this  bold  initiative.

This  could  be  one  of  the  most  important  conservation  efforts  undertaken  in  Vermont  if  the  restora-­ tion  efforts  are  carefully  crafted  and  implemented.  But  success  will  require  doing  things  much  differently  than  we  have  done  in  the  past.  Sim-­ ply  spending  the  funds  on  conserva-­ tion  practices  will  not  achieve  the  desired  results  of  a  clean  and  clear  Lake  Champlain.

The  funding  represents  an  enor-­

mous  amount  of  money  but  boils  down  to  less  than  $20  per  Vermont  basin  acre.  To  put  that  in  perspective,  VRPH IDUP ¿HOGV QRZ IHWFK UHQWV RI $200  per  acre  per  year.

To  succeed  the  funding  must  be  used  to  change  the  nature  of  our  relationship  with  the  land.  The  good  news  is  that  the  land  is  on  our  side.  It  still  has  remarkable  capacity  for  self-­renewal.

The  challenge  is  to  develop  and  act  upon  a  land  ethic  that  respects  that  capacity.  To  that  end,  the  USDA  can  and  will  be  an  important  agent  in  the  effort.  But  we  need  new  play-­ ers  to  become  involved  and  a  new  way  of  approaching  land  conserva-­

tion  in  Vermont.

Citizens  and  our  educational  insti-­ tutions  must  be  much  more  actively  involved  and  engaged  in  the  process.  Mapping,  monitoring  and  effective  regulation  are  essential  elements  too.  The  whole  basin  must  be  included.  And  we  must  move  from  thinking  of  the  land  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;ditched  watershedsâ&#x20AC;?  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;spongy  catchments.â&#x20AC;?  The  stakes  are  high  and  the  to-­do  list  is  long.

Health  Matters

Back to school lunches, the F-V-P way Quickly  scanning  the  school  cafeteria  during  lunchtime  shows  that  many  of  our  children  are  packing  a  poorly  balanced  lunch.  Crackers,  popcorn,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;fruitâ&#x20AC;?  chews,  chips  and  cookies  are  plentiful  while  fruits  and  vegetables  are  not  quite  as  common.  This  may  be  typical  for  many  American  cafeterias,  but  that  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  make  it  healthy.  Many  kids  (and  adults)  tend  to  base  their  meals  on  starches,  such  as  breads,  crackers,  pastas  and  chips.  And  yes,  starches  have  an  important  role  in  a  healthy  diet.  The  prob-­ lem  is  that  these  starches  are  often  eaten  in  excess  of  what  is  needed,  especially  among  children  who  fre-­ quently  snack  on  starches.  Eating  excess  starches  also  displaces,  or  bumps  out,  other  foods  such  as  fruits,  vegetables,  and  proteins,  which  are  usually  lacking  in  diets.  Help  your  child  develop  healthy  meal  balancing  habits  early  on  by  teaching  him/her  the  Fruit-­Vege-­ table-­Protein  (F-­V-­P)  method.  When  packing  a  lunch,  WKH ÂżUVW WKUHH IRRGV WKDW VKRXOG EH FKRVHQ DUH WKH IUXLW the  vegetable,  and  the  protein.  Choosing  from  these  IRRG JURXSV ÂżUVW XQGHUOLQHV WKHLU LPSRUWDQFH LQ WKH
