   There’s  an  old  secret  to  buying  a  new  home  that  RealtorsÂŽ  have  known  for  years.   Don’t  buy  the  most  expensive  property  in  the  community.  While  it’s  appealing  to  buy  a  home  in  a  well-­ established  community  full  of  modern  homes  and  meticulously  maintained  lawns,  what  happens  to  that  neighborhood  in  a  soft  market?  Homes  with  higher  values  than  the  homes  surrounding  them  are  adversely  affected  in  a  slow  market.  More  modest  homes  located  near  a  high-­value  property  increase  in  their  value  while  undermining  the  value  of  the  highest-­valued  property  in  a  local  market,  which  can  compromise  the  ability  of  the  seller  to  set  an  asking  price  ZKLFK UHĂ€HFWV WKH KRPHÂśV WUXH value  and  shows  a  return  on  their  investment.  In  a  market  evaluation,  this  phenomenon  is  called  the  negative  effect.  Every  home  is  an  investment,  so  make  sure  you  engage  the  services  of  a  professional  RealtorÂŽ  to  help  you  make  an  informed,  well-­ planned  decision  that’s  based  on  the  local  home  value  trends.  Choose  a  home  whose  value  will  appreciate  over  time,  and  you’ll  never  suffer  from  buyer’s  remorse.  Ingrid  Punderson  Jackson Real  Estate ‡ FHOO WROO IUHH www.middvermontrealestate.com

“He  shouldn’t  have  been  driving  at  all  when  this  incident  occurred,â€?  Fen-­ ster  said.

She  added  safety  is  a  paramount  concern  among  planners  of  the  Tour  de  Farms,  which  this  year  included  12  stops  covering  15  farms  in  Shoreham  and  Orwell.  Six  hundred  twenty  rid-­

(Continued  from  Page  4A) much  as  the  opponents  to  this  project,  but  we  see  natural  gas  as  the  better  solution. (YHU VLQFH SHRSOH EHJDQ XVLQJ ÂżUH we  have  abused  the  environment  for  our  energy  needs.  Nothing  has  changed,  except  there  are  a  lot  more  people  doing  it  today  and  we  have  more  sources  of  energy.  No  energy  source  is  perfect.  Wind  farms  are  despised  by  otherwise  green  people  because  they  spoil  the  views.  Hy-­ dropower  dams  rivers.  Solar  panels  require  mining  materials  and  dirty  chemical  processes  to  manufacture  DQG PDQ\ GRQÂśW OLNH WKH ORRN RI ÂżHOGV of  solar  panels.  Nuclear  has  radioac-­ tive  waste  issues.  Oil  is  messy  (many  oil  spills  and  dirty  drilling  process)  and  generates  greenhouse  gases  as  does  natural  gas,  wood,  coal  and  biomass.  Nothing  is  perfect. Whether  it  is  people  denuding  PRXQWDLQVLGHV RI WUHHV IRU ÂżUHZRRG or  BP  spilling  oil  in  the  Gulf  of  Mex-­ ico,  or  the  Fukushima  nuclear  plant  disaster,  humankind’s  use  of  energy  negatively  impacts  the  environment.  So  it  all  comes  down  to  one  question:  What  do  we  choose  in  order  to  mini-­ mize  the  mess  we  make?  Because  people  aren’t  giving  up  their  heat,  cooking  and  lighting,  not  to  mention  driving.  That  is  the  question  the  Pub-­ lic  Service  Board  needs  to  keep  in  PLQG DV LW GHFLGHV RQ WKH &HUWLÂżFDWH of  Public  Good  for  the  Colchester-­to-­ Middlebury  pipeline.

All  the  comments  at  the  PSB  meeting  in  Middlebury  about  adding  to  our  greenhouse  problem  make  no  sense.  This  replaces  one  fuel  (mostly  RLO ZLWK PRUH HIÂżFLHQW DQG FOHDQHU gas.  It  doesn’t  lock  anyone  into  gas  for  the  next  100  years  either.  That  is  just  absurd.  It  will  only  be  used  as  long  as  it  makes  sense.  When  we  develop  new  clean  energy  sources  that  replace  oil  and  gas,  then  the  gas  line  will  go  into  disuse. All  the  comments  on  scarring  the  land  make  no  sense  either.  Once  the  construction  is  complete,  it  will  have  much,  much,  much,  less  of  an  impact  than  a  road.  It  is  not  taking  meeting  many  of  you  in  the  course  any  land.  It  will  be  under  land  that  of  my  work.  If  you  have  any  story  can  continue  to  raise  corn  or  hay  or  ideas,  don’t  hesitate  to  reach  out.  graze  cows.  One  must  wonder  where  My  phone  number  is  388-­4944,  or  the  people  at  this  meeting  are  get-­ you  can  reach  me  at  zachd@addi-­ ting  their  misinformation.  The  few  sonindependent.com. pressure-­control  stations  and  distribu-­ tion  points  will  be  aboveground  and  in  out  of  the  way  areas.

My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding. Together we’ll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy. As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health. Are you curious about how health coaching can help you? Let’s talk. Schedule an initial consultation with me today.

I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.

anyone who will take it. “We know something weird is go-­ ing on here,” the post concludes. A story recounted in the Middle-­ bury Campus alludes to the late Timothy Clark Smith who died in the Middlebury Inn in 1856. Smith had expressed a fear of being buried alive, so his family had his remains placed in a special tomb at New Ha-­ ven’s Evergreen Cemetery, equipped with a window and a bell for him to contact the living if he were to awaken. Broderson and Allen hope Middle-­ bury residents come forward with stories like these, which will be re-­ corded. Organizers will then map out the haunting landmarks, with codes to allow phone access to the stories while visitors are viewing the sites. “We think the stories are there;; LW¶V MXVW D PDWWHU RI ¿QGLQJ RXW ZKR knows them,” Broderson said. Organizers would like the record-­ ings to be completed by the end of this month, so they can be available through October and into Novem-­ ber. Anyone wanting to participate should contact Allen at the Ilsley Li-­ brary at 388-­4095, or at tricia.allen@ ilsleypubliclibrary.org. Reporter John Flowers is at johnf@addisonindependent.com.
