Tires, thawing and plows, oh my Is it a job or a career opportunity?
a
recent Middlebury select Board meeting report compiled by town Manager Kathleen Ramsay had me scratching my head. apparently, certain board members had expressed, on the record, a desire to ban studded snow tires, or at least restrict their use, in town. the reason being, of course, that these tires are to blame for destroying local road surfaces during the winter. aside from the conundrum faced by the select Board in having to wait for the state legislature to take the lead on banning the tires, thereÕ s no questionÑ studded tires cause road damage. But are there really that many people using them? (Maybe local tire dealers have accurate data not just anecdotes?) and are there other, perhaps bigger, forces also at work chewing up local road surfaces as well? Well, duhÑ when i think about VermontÕ s wild freezing and thawing temperature cycles which unleash heaves and pot holes that mimic the appearance of some rilles and impact craters on the MoonÕ s far side, i am not sure Ò whatÓ should get the lionÕ s share of our damaged road-rage blame. Compared to Momma natureÕ s nasty disposition around these parts between thanksgiving and the rest of the year, coupled with the damage done to road surfaces by, dare i say, even our own local municipal snowplows, it struck me as a little bit disingenuous to single out studded snow tires in the battle to maintain local roadways (assuming, being the cynic that i am, that our transportation tax dollars are being used strictly for maintaining highways and bridges and are not being siphoned off to fund some pet vote-getting program by our one-party political system). then again, making a commitment to winter snow tires or studded winter tires isnÕ t cheap. according to the new england aaa, purchasing a set of studded tires can cost just as much as a set of fair-weather tires: between $300 and $400. an additional cost is the hassle of putting on, and taking off, the tires every time the seasons change. yes, the tiny metal studs are ideal for driving on ice, but itÕ s a fact that they also chew up road surfaces (especially asphalt). But putting tire facts aside, the freezing and thawing temperature cycle has got to be the greatest force chewing up local roads, but maybe i am wrong.
Recently, iÕ ve been looking into modern tire chains for use during winter storms. Chains today are greatly improved and are easily set up (at least compared to the old-fashioned era of my fatherÕ s iron tire chains). However, some cars are unable to accommodate chains due to close tolerances between tires and surrounding wheel wells--the price of driving smaller, sportier cars than yesteryear. another downside to chains: thereÕ s the hassle of taking them on and off before and after snow and ice storms. the other idea i was thinking about is that, perhaps, more vehicle owners might choose to do away with studded tires if they felt local road surfaces were a little safer to navigate in the winter? last weekÕ s blizzard came with plenty of advance warning, yet the response to it seemed weaker than usual to me. Considering that Vermont is blessed with abundant deposits of ice age sand and gravel, i didnÕ t see much of it being spread on Route 7; a glaze of ice made driving during the afternoon and evening hours of March 12 the biggest hazard of navigating the storm (as many of us had to do). But if local road budgets are strained, as i am sure many are (which means less winter maintenance is being done), itÕ s also unfair for town officials to penalize drivers by banning or restricting studded tires. We live in a place with harsh extremes; we have to bear the price of living and working in such an environment. doing it on the cheap, or pooh-poohing solutions because theyÕ re not Ò greenÓ enough, donÕ t seem to cut it when facing the physical challenge of dealing with four highly distinct seasons of weather driving. Get used to it: salt, snowplows, sand and gravel, studded tires, chains, snow tires, heating oil, propane, pellets, firewood, boots, heavy coats, gloves, and hats are all part of the arsenal we use in the war to get through winter in these parts. then, when spring and summer arrives (as they always do), the pot holes are filled and new asphalt road surfaces are reapplied (as they always are). Winter is not cheap in Vermont. so, if weÕ re worried about the high cost of it, well, maybe we need to cut our local budgets somewhere elsewhere. Lou Varricchio/The Vermont Eagle

Unfair cartoon To the editor: the cartoon in the Feb. 15 edition of your paper depicting Obama with Ò Big government Health CareÓ plan in his hand to be compared to lBJs Big Government Welfare as being a disincentive to work. the former idea was derived from a CBO report that was purposely misrepresented by the righties in d.C. and parts of the Right Wing noise Machine, and has been called out as a lie by the CBO itself, not to mention MsnBC, nPR (On the Media, all things Considered, et. al.) and other saner media outlets. What the CBO said was this: there may be 2 million or so people who will leave jobs that they no longer liked, or suited them, but stayed just for the healthcare, (i.e. Job lock) for other jobs they may like better, or yes, retire. (Because, you canÕ t live on healthcare alone.) if this is true, then in theory at least, there will be 2 million or so jobs that will be freed up for other people who could use them, regardless of their potential crappiness, thus tightening the job market, which i would think is a good thing, right? this purporting of an obvious untruth is a sign of just how desperate the anti-healthcare reform camp has become as the aCa and the advent of single payer here in Vermont marches on. Regardless of what you think of aCa (Big GovÕ t Obama care) or single Payer in Vermont or else ware, one thing is for sure: we are not going back to the way it was, with job lock and pre-existing conditions; we shall aspire to a higher standard in health coverage and the delivery of care. and as for lBJs Big GovÕ t Welfare being disincentive to work, i think that prize goes to the lack of jobs, like the ones that went overseas, or the ones still here that donÕ t pay enough to live on, thereby forcing many to go on said welfare to survive, even when working (Results of 30+ years of Republican economic and trade policies). Just ask people at Walmart or McDonalds and other fine establishments. Ivan Smith Fair Haven

BRistOl Ñ an innovative food program at Bristol elementary school called Ò Bites in a BagÓ is helping to ensure that children have access to healthy foods not only during the school week, but on weekends as well. in its second year, the program is a partnership between the Bristol Have-aHeart Food shelf, the Bes food service staff, and parent volunteers. the three groups are coordinating efforts so that at the end of every school week students can bring home a snack bag containing a variety of healthy foods, such as cheese sticks, yogurt, popcorn, fresh fruits, and carrot and celery sticks. the idea for this creative approach arose at a meeting of Food shelf volunteers who wanted to complement a program in the Five-town schools that brings fresh fruits and vegetables into the classrooms, thanks to a federal grant administered through the Food and nutrition service. the volunteers, some of whom are also parents of children at Bes, wanted to address studentsÕ food needs on the weekends. they modeled the program after one operated through the Vermont Food Bank that exists in other designated
schools in Vermont with a high percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced lunches. the volunteers hope that Bes will eventually transition into this state-wide program, allowing for an expansion to the other Five-town schools thanks to a consolidated food prep and distribution system already in place. until those details are worked out, the volunteers decided to organize their own program at Bes. they worked with Food shelf organizers to come up with a budget
and with the Bes food service staff, who allow them to place orders through their wholesale price list, store food in their facility and cooler, and pack the bags in the lunch room each week. every Friday two rotating parent volunteers pack the snack bags and deliver them to classrooms. During the first year 25 children were enrolled in the program, based on a letter that went out to parents asking for interest and also recommendations from the school nurse and guidance counselors. this year the program is serving 36 students. Organizers estimate that the programÕ s total cost for a school year is $4000. last year a grant from Catholic Charities covered $1500 of those expenses, with donations to the Food shelf making up the rest. Organizers are hoping for grant support again this year, and they gladly accept donations directly to the program. if you would like to contribute, checks may be sent to Rebecca Price, Have-aHeart Food shelf director, 928 stony Hill Road, Bristol, Vt 05443.

Photographer to debut work at Jackson Gallery award-winning photographer Brett simisonÕ s exhibition Ò the Pane in empty RoomsÓ will open at MiddleburyÕ s Jackson Gallery at the town Hall theater on March 21. there will be an opening reception from 5-7 p.m. the photographs will remain on display through May 9. the exhibition features a set of large black and white images taken from simisonÕ s portfolio Ò the Pane in empty Rooms: Frost and Breadloaf in the Green Mountains.Ó Using only traditional large and medium format film cameras, simison created the portfolio to document poet Robert FrostÕ s summer cabin and the surrounding Vermont wilderness in Ripton. Ò i was looking for a project to work on between assignments and a friend of mine suggested i visit the cabin and make some photographs,Ó simison said of the portfolio. Ò i also began reading as much of Frost’s work as I could find. Very soon, I learned that there was more to the man besides the glimpses i saw in his well known poems Ô Mending WallÕ and the Ô the Road not takenÕ . there was a feeling of darkness and loneliness, and i began to see the cabin, the farm grounds, and the surrounding lands of the Breadloaf Wilderness in a new light. it made me wonder why he sought out the solitude of this remote cabin and spent so much time there.Ó The exhibition of wall-filling images were the realization of a successful online fundraising project simison launched via the crowd-funding website Kickstarter. the projectÕ s goal was to raise money to purchase a large inkjet printer to produce the large prints from the digitally-scanned film negatives. Contributors to the project were rewarded with photographic prints, books, and a special mention in the exhibition materials.
Brett Simison Pane made its debut at the Vermont Center for Photography in Brattleboro to critical acclaim. VCP Gallery director Joshua Farr described the prints as Ò some of the most exquisitely crafted prints to be featured at the galleryÓ while other industry experts praised the prints as “the finest digital black and white prints” theyÕ ve ever seen.

St. Stephen’s presents civility lecture MiddleBuRy Ñ On March 25 at 7 p.m. at st. stephenÕ s episcopal Church in Middlebury, Middlebury College professor James Calvin davis will present a talk entitled Ò Faith and Friendship: Pillars for small-town CivilityÓ . the dictum used to be that in polite society one did not discuss politics or religion. But society today is far from polite and politics and religion are two divisive elements that have led to polarization in local and national discourse. this in turn tends to create an atmosphere that works against the identification of common interests and movement toward solutions to common problems. sponsored by saint stephenÕ s and the Middlebury area Clergy association, Professor davis will present ways to begin to change the way we think about the issues and each other and to take steps toward meaningful conversation that can lead to ways to deal with issues rather than rhetoric. davis is the author of Ò in defense of Civility: How Religion Can unite america on seven Moral issues that divide usÓ the talk will be followed by dessert and an informal question and answer session with davis, for those who wish to participate. Child care will be provided.

Article 16: Wise decision of 1777 i
n June of 1777 the people of new Connecticut, the land between new Hampshire and new york, learned that Congress had refused to admit their little republic into the union of the 13 colonies recently declared independent. so on July 2 a group of frontier settlers met at the Old Meeting House in Windsor to promulgate a Constitution for what was soon to become the independent republic of Vermont. The first purpose of a constitution was to declare the rights of the people. For this they borrowed much of the elegant language of the Pennsylvania Constitution, including Ò that the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves of and the state.Ó that right has remained there, self-evident and unaltered, for 237 years (Chapter i, article 16). there was little controversy over this right until the dawn of the 20th century. in 1903 the Rutland city council adopted an ordinance requiring a person wishing to carry a firearm within the city to obtain permission from the mayor or police chief. the Vermont supreme Court, in a one page decision, unanimously and unequivocally struck down the ordinance, saying Ò the carrying of firearms for one’s defense is a fundamental right of a citizen. the ordinance is repugnant to the Constitution.Ó (state v. Rosenthal, 1903). Another eighty five years went by before some momentum built for localities to pass their own gun control laws. defenders of article 16 countered with a measure now known as the sportsmensÕ Bill of Rights. this law states that Ò except as provided by law, no town, city or incorporated village, by ordinance, resolution or other enactment, shall directly regulate hunting, fishing and trapping or the possession, ownership, transportation, transfer, sale, purchase, carrying, licensing or registration of traps, firearms, ammunition or components of firearms or ammunition.Ó this act was approved by the senate on a voice vote, and by the House on a 128-5 roll call. Gov. Kunin signed it into law, and Howard dean, then lt. Governor, later made the unlikely boast that Ò i got it passed.Ó since then the partisans of gun control have repeatedly tried to undermine the law. in 2000 Montpelier residents voted for a charter change to regulate carrying a loaded firearm, but the legislature declined to ratify it. efforts in Barre and Rutland also failed. a year ago Burlington City Council member norm Blais proposed a city charter change to ban possession of certain (unde-
fined) “semi-automatic assault weapons and multiple ammo clips in the City of BurlingtonÓ , with such ban to be enforced by substantial fines and civil forfeiture. after months of tumultuous hearings, the Charter Change committee offered three less sweeping measures for voter approval on town meeting day (March 4). The first measure prohibits possession of firearms on the property of first class liquor license businesses, including restaurants. that fact may be of interest to would-be assailants. the second allows the police to seize firearms without a warrant, where it is alleged that the owner might have been or might be engaged in domestic abuse.
the third requires citizens to place their firearms in a “safe storage depositoryÓ , to make them effectively unusable for defense against a home invasion. any resolutions that are ap- The Constitution House, located in Windsor, Vt.,, where theConstitution of the Vermont Republic was signed proved would then have to be in 1777.

Vermont needs a better plan for job creation t
he past year has been a hard one on Vermont employees. For example, iBM, VermontÕ s long-time top private employer laid off 419 workers from its essex facility last summer and just announced another 140 jobs will go. up north, energizer closed its st. albans factory in september, costing us 165 jobs. down south, just this past month Plasan Carbon Composites of Bennington announced it is moving to Michigan along with 143 more jobs. Vermont yankee and its 600 plus jobs, which average over $100,000 per year salaries, will close its doors at the end of 2014. People can argue over why these companies left or downsized. is it state policy, or other factors beyond the stateÕ s control, or a combination of both? each case is different, and in each case myriad factors certainly influenced the final decisions. Companies operating in free markets will always be opening, closing, and moving. But, one thing is for certain: Vermont needs an effective strategy to attract new good-paying, tax-revenuegenerating jobs to replace the oneÕ s weÕ ve lost at least as fast as weÕ re losing them. Other states are being very aggressive in this regard. One neighbor, new york, is advertising Governor CuomoÕ s plan to revitalize its economy by offering companies ten years of taxfree existence for starting, relocating or expanding businesses in specific enterprise zones. “Business will be able to locate in these zones and operate 100% tax-free for 10 years. no income tax. no business or corporate state or local taxes. no sales tax. no property tax. no franchise fees,Ó boasts the program website. Michigan, which poached Plasan out of Bennington, succeed-
ed in doing so by offering the company nearly $5 million in tax credits. When Huber and suhner left Vermont in October, 201, taking 63 jobs to north Carolina and new Jersey, the companyÕ s president explained, Ò Obviously, the cost of doing business [in Vermont] and the tax perspective is a significant reason why we’re moving.Ó north Carolina had just instituted a series of tax reforms, including cuts to income tax rates, corporate tax rates, property taxes, capping the gasoline tax, and fully repealing the estate tax. the common theme here is that employers are looking for favorable tax environments of one kind or another, and are rewarding the states that provide them. Given that fact, how should we expect employers to react to whatÕ s being discussed in the Vermont state House today? Here, a prospective employer is looking at the potential for a 13% to 16% plus payroll tax to pay for single payer healthcare (s.252). an increase in the minimum wage to $12.50 or as much as $15/hour (H.433, H.552, H770, s.301). Government mandated paid sick leave for employees (H.208, s.255). a 0.25% increase in the Rooms & Meals tax (H.586). a 7¢ per $100 of assessed value property tax increase to $1.01 for residential properties and $1.51 for commercial. and, all this would be on top of an existing reputation as a high-tax, businessunfriendly state. We are surrounded by Boston, new york, Montreal Ñ 80 million people in the surrounding metropolitan markets Ñ with a plethora of high paying, fairly mobile jobs in finance, commu-
nications, arts and entertainment, high tech, software, law, etc. What would it take to entice folks in these kinds of high-wage, low-environmental-impact industries to move to Vermont and hang out their shingles? i suspect the answer would have a lot to do with lower taxes; a message of Ò Come to Vermont, bring your business, keep more of what you earn, and spend it living in the greatest lifestyle experience new england has to offer.Ó But, such a pitch would require serious policies to back it up. this is what Vermont should be doing to grow the economic pie. unfortunately, weÕ re doing quite the opposite. a friend who is an entrepreneur and software engineer recently crunched the numbers on what a total tax burden for a family of five living in Burlington and earning $90,000 a year would look like if the single payer payroll tax took effect. Of that $90,000 salary, $53,982.80 would go to pay one form of tax or another Ñ $16,222.80 for state and federal income tax, $11,160 FiCa tax, $12,600 payroll tax, $1,000 for state and federal unemployment tax and workers comp, plus $11,500 in property taxes and an estimated $1,500 for sales taxes. Most people are going to look at that and say, you know, VermontÕ s a pretty state, but thatÕ s way more than my fair share, and head off Michigan or north Carolina, or across the boarder to new Hampshire.

Vermont needs change
a
side from the pressing opiate and prescription drug problem noted by Gov. Peter shumlin (d) in his recent state of the state address, Vermont is plagued by a weak economy fueled by a potent mixture of anti-business public policy, high individual and corporate taxes and energy costs, weak government ethics, accountability and transparency laws and flawed social services programs that are both inefficient and ineffective in moving lower income Vermonters up the economic ladder. Presently, Vermont is losing employers and has failed to attract new ones, due in part to the difficulties of successfully running a business in the state. Facing rigid, costly and unrealistic development regulations, environmental laws and other statemandated rules as well as high corporate tax rates, businesses have been forced to defer expanding, close, move out of state or transfer jobs to states that are more welcoming to business. We also have a flawed tax system that places Vermont among the highest taxed states in the country and a government that continues to ask more from residents and businesses to fund an
ever growing list of state programs that may be well intentioned but are not sustainable or affordable and are not held accountable to achieve clearly defined measureable outcomes. From an energy-cost standpoint, our state, which often claims to be on the leading-edge of energy innovation, is completely out of balance. Vermont continues to have electricity rates that are approximately 40% higher than the national average! still, our elected officials are moving us towards an energy portfolio dominated by even higher-cost, renewable power. there is no doubt that renewable sources, in the correct application, need to be a part of our energy mix in order to support long-term sustainability, but mandating costly levels of renewable is a dangerous path to take. Furthermore, our elected officials, many of whom are allowing the very degradation of our stateÕ s well-being and economic viability, are able to do so because of weak accountability, ethics and transparency policies. in short, unless these policies change, those in decision-making positions will never be held accountable or their performance measured. the folks at Campaign for Vermont have offered a number of suggestions worth serious consideration for addressing this problem. the performance of our state human services programs needs
to be more transparent and their performance fully evaluated. if those programs are not achieving desired outcomes, they should be redesigned or eliminated. Many of the stateÕ s current programs are based on antiquated, inefficient and ineffective systems that are costly to manage and do very little to give struggling Vermonters the tools required to move towards economic stability and prosperity. Rather than continuing to provide handouts to generations of Vermonters, shouldnÕ t we design a system that incents desired behavior, provides the necessary support and demands personal growth and eventual financial independence? as the current legislative session kicks into gear, iÕ d like to encourage and challenge our elected officials in state government to really think about the financial health of our state and advance the kind of change required to improve the economic vitality of the state and itsÕ resident. While our battle against drugs may be important and a specific issue that needs to be resolved, the strength of our stateÕ s economy as a whole is the real elephant in the room and should be the starting point for wide scale change if desired economic prosperity for all Vermont is to be realized.

Tackle spring cleaning with the environment in mind s
Homeowners should periodically inspect their appliances, including vacuum cleaners, to ensure they are working at peak efficiency and not expending excess energy.
pring is a time of year when many people resolve to give their homes or apartments a thorough cleaning. spring cleaning projects help people revitalize their homes for the warm months ahead, when windows are once again opened, fresh air pervades homes and items that might have accumulated over a dark and dreary winter have become a distant memory. Many families have spring cleaning rituals that allow them to efficiently clean their homes in a single weekend. But itÕ s just as important for spring cleaners to place as great an emphasis on the environment as they do on efficiency when cleaning a home. eco-friendly spring cleaning practices produce less waste and rely on less chemicals to rejuvenate a home and get it ready for those seasons when huddling inside under the covers takes a backseat to lounging around the house as fresh air washes into the home. the following are a handful of ways to efficiently clean a home while also protecting the environment. •Clear out the clutter. Clutter is an enemy to homeowners and the environment alike. thatÕ s because addressing clutter is often an inefficient process in which homeowners methodically go through items that have accumulated over the years, individually choosing which items to keep and which items to discard. Clutter can also prove harmful to the environment because rooms filled with clutter tend to collect dust, reducing air quality and leading to more indoor air pollution that can prove harmful to human health. When sifting through clutter in a home, discard those items that have gone ignored for years, as they likely have little or no financial value and it’s safe to assume they serve no practical purpose as well. Once clutter has been cleared out, prevent more of it from accumulating by making a conscious effort to discard items once they no longer serve any practical purpose. this includes old newspapers and magazines, as well as any other items that are likely to sit in a pile or on a shelf for months on end. Preventing the buildup of clutter reduces the amount of time you need to spend spring cleaning next year while also improving indoor air quality. •Use cleaners only when windows are open. Many people get a head start on spring cleaning in late winter, when the weather might have started to warm up but has not yet warmed to the
point when windows throughout the home can be opened. though thereÕ s nothing wrong with starting early, avoid using cleaning products on days when you canÕ t open the windows. Many cleaning products contain ample or even just trace amounts of chemicals that can compromise indoor air quality and may exacerbate existing medical conditions like respiratory ailments. When using cleaning products, try to do so only when the windows are open and fresh air can enter the home. •Ensure appliances are working at peak efficiency. spring cleaning is a great time to inspect appliances to make sure they are operating efficiently. Clean or replace filters on window air conditioning units. Dusty or dirty filters will force the air conditioner to work harder and use more energy to cool a room. In addition, dirty or dusty filters make units less efficient, which means rooms wonÕ t cool as quickly on those scorching summer afternoons. appliances forced to work harder also cost more money, and those costs can be considerable. When checking appliances, be sure to check the refrigerator as well. Refrigerators are plugged in all day long, and those that are not operating at peak efficiency can cost you a lot of money in the long run. Periodically clean the coils on the back of your refrigerator so it can operate more efficiently, saving energy and money. Vacuum cleaners should also be inspected before each use to make sure reels are not covered in hair, which can make it nearly impossible for the machine to collect dirt and dust from the floors. •Use reusable cloths. Another way to turn spring cleaning into a more eco-friendly affair is to forgo using paper towels in favor of reusable cloths. Reusable wash cloths can be just as effective at wiping down counters as paper towels, which require more and more trees to be cut down and eventually end up in landfills. If you are feeling especially eco-friendly, you can go the extra mile and create your own reusable cleaning cloths out of old clothes or linens, saving you money and making use of items that might otherwise have been headed straight for a landfill. spring cleaning can rejuvenate a home after a long winter. emphasizing eco-friendly techniques when cleaning can ensure your homeÕ s revival is as beneficial to the environment as it is to the homeÕ s inhabitants

Guarantee your garden gets started on the right foot
a
s winter slowly winds down, many gardeners cannot wait to soak up the springtime sun and get their hands dirty in the garden. such excitement is not just good for gardeners, but can benefit the garden in the months to come as well. late winter or early spring is a great time to get a head start on the gardening season. even if gardening season is still around the corner, completing the following projects can ensure your garden gets off on the right foot.
Clear debris
One of the best things you can do for your garden as winter winds down is to clear it of debris. Winter can be especially harsh on a landscape, and gardens left to the elements are often filled with debris once spring arrives. dead leaves, fallen branches, rocks that surfaced during the winter frost, and even garbage that might have blown about in winter winds can all pile up in a garden over a typical winter. Clearing such debris likely wonÕ t take long, but it’s a great first step toward restoring the garden before the time comes to plant and grow the garden once again.
Examine the soil
Soil plays a significant role in whether a garden thrives or struggles. examining the soil before the season starts can help gardeners address any issues before they plant. ignoring the soil until a problem arises can turn the upcoming gardening season into a lost opportunity, so test the soil to determine if it has any nutrient or mineral deficiencies. This may require the help of a professional, but if a problem arises, you might be able to adjust the acidity or alkalinity of the soil and still enjoy a successful gardening season. another way to examine the soil is less com-
plex but can shed light on when would be a good time to get back to work. Reach into the soil and dig out a handful. if the soil quickly crumbles, you can start preparing for gardening seasoning. But if the soil is still clumped together, it needs more time to dry out before you can begin your prep work.
Initiate edging
edging is another task gardeners can begin as they get ready for the season. edge plant and flower beds, but be sure to use a spade with a flat blade or an edger designed to edge flower beds. such tools will cut deep enough so grass roots that may eventually grow into the flower bed are severed. depending on how large a garden is, edging can be a time-consuming task, so getting a head start allows homeowners to spend more time planting and tending to their gardens once the season hits full swing.
Fight weeds
though weeds likely have not survived the winter, that does not mean they wonÕ t return once the weather starts to heat up. But as inevitable as weeds may seem, homeowners can take steps to prevent them from turning beautiful gardens into battlegrounds where plants, flowers and vegetables are pitted against unsightly and potentially harmful weeds. spring is a good time to apply a pre-emergent weed preventer, which can stop weeds before they grow. though such solutions are not always foolproof, they can drastically reduce the likelihood of weed growth. though gardeners might not be able to start planting their gardens in late winter or early spring, they can still get outside and take steps to ensure their gardens thrive once planting season begins.

Home projects perfect for spring
he rejuvenating spirit of spring makes this beloved season an ideal time for homeowners to take stock of their homes and properties and address any issues that
arose during the winter. While some homes make it through winter unscathed, the harsh weather of the yearÕ s coldest season can add several tasks to homeownersÕ springtime to-do lists.
March 22, 2014
While some projects are best left to the professionals, others can be tackled even by those homeowners with little or no diy experience. the following are a handful of projects tailor-made for spring.
Inspect the gutters
Gutters tend to bear the brunt of harsh winter weather, and come spring gutters are in need of inspection if not repair. Winter winds, snow and heavy rainfall can compromise the effectiveness of gutters, which can easily accumulate debris and detach from homes during winter storms. in addition, gutters sometimes develop leaks over the winter months. as a result, homeowners should conduct a careful inspection of their gutters come the spring, being sure to look for leaks while clearing See PROJECTS, page 15
Each spring, homeowners should inspect their gutters to ensure the gutters are still attached to their homes and free of debris.

Check for freeze damage
the gutters of debris and reattaching gutters that might have become detached from the home on windy winter days and nights. When reattaching loose gutters, make sure the downspouts are draining away from the foundation, as gutters that are not draining properly can cause damage to that foundation and possibly lead to flooding.
Frozen temperatures can be hard on humans and homes alike, but unlike humans who can stay inside when temperatures dip below freezing, homes are forced to withstand the elements throughout the winter. external hose faucets are often susceptible to freeze damage. to inspect such faucets, turn the water on and then place a thumb or finger over the opening of the faucet. If your thumb or finger can completely stop the flow of water, the pipe where the water is coming from is likely damaged and will need to be replaced.
Continued from page 14
Take stock of roof shingles Much like its gutters and downspouts, a homeÕ s roof can suffer significant damage over the course of a typical winter. Shingles may be lost to harsh winter winds and storms, so homeowners should examine the roof to determine if any shingles were lost (lost shingles might even be lying around the property) or suffered damage thatÕ s considerable enough to require replacement. summer can be especially brutal on shingles, especially those that suffered significant damage during the winter. If left unchecked or unaddressed, problems with damaged shingles can quickly escalate into larger issues when spring rains and summer sun inevitably arrive, so homeowners should prioritize fixing or replacing damaged shingles as quickly as possible.
Examine the lawn for low spots Once a lawn has thawed out, homeowners can patrol their properties looking for low spots in the yard or even low spots within spitting distance of the homeÕ s foundation. such spots increase the likelihood of flooding. Flooding near a home’s foundation increases the risk of potentially costly damage, while low spots on the lawn that go ignored can make great breeding grounds for insects, including mosquitoes, when the weather warms up. When low spots are detected, fill them in with compacted soil. Compacted soil can prevent spring rains from flooding a yard or damaging a homeÕ s foundation. assessing potential property damage is a rite of passage for
Did you know? Though Earth Day is synonymous with protecting the environment, the holiday can trace its roots to an environmental disaster that occurred in Southern California in 1969. Over a 10-day period that began on January 28, 1969 just six miles off the coast of Santa Barbara, Calif., roughly 80,000 to 100,000 barrels of crude oil spilled into the Santa Barbara Channel and onto the beaches of Santa Barbara County. Thousands of birds and marine animals, including dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions, were killed as a result of the spill, which at the time was the largest such spill to ever occur in United States waters. Though devastating, the Santa Barbara oil spill proved inspiring to Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, who is today considered the founder of Earth Day.

Hiking guidelines and safety tips a warm breeze, the sound of a bubbling brook and the fresh smell of pine in the air are just some of the draws of hiking. thereÕ s nothing quite like getting outdoors and enjoying nature. although hiking isnÕ t inherently dangerous, being at the mercy of the elements does imply some risk. as a result, it pays to be prepared when embarking on a hiking trip. even novice hikers know to avoid bug bites and apply sunscreen before heading outdoors, but there are also some lesser-known potential hazards on the hiking trail. Heeding these tips can keep a person safe. •Plan ahead. Understand the terrain and the trails before you begin the hike. Visit the park or areaÕ s official Web site to access detailed, printable trail maps and other information about the area. Make note of ranger stations, portable bathrooms and any other places you may want to use as pit stops along the way. Give a copy of the trail map to someone staying behind, marking your
planned place of entry. in the event you get lost, the person at home can alert authorities to your approximate location. •Know your environment. Hiking trails can be found all around the world. some may be arid and barren areas, while other areas may be lush and tropical. each of these regions brings with them their own share of plants and animals. it is wise to know which species you may encounter along the way so you will know how to treat a bite or a brush with a poisonous plant in the event of an emergency. •Be mindful of the weather. Before going on the hike, get the latest weather report from a few different sources. this way you will have an average picture in your head of what the weather will be, and you can choose your footwear, clothing and other essentials based on that forecast. Few things can spoil a trip faster than unpredictable weather and failure to be ready for it. •Pack a supply kit. It’s easy to go overboard on gear, but there are

March 22, 2014 some basics that should be hiking essentials. Include a first aid kit, a Swiss Army Knife, matches or a lighter, aspirin, a flashlight, and toilet paper in your supply kit. •Bring water. Water is essential when going on a hiking trip. By the time you are feeling thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Bring at least 1 to 2 liters of water per person. Keep in mind that this may mean adding 3 to 4 pounds to the pack. When necessary, trade excess weight in other supplies for water, since water is most essential. drinking from springs or lakes is not adviseable. animals bathe and relieve themselves in that water, and it might be teeming with bacteria. •Pack snacks. Bring along lightweight snacks, such as granola bars, dried fruit and nuts. avoid sugary or starchy snacks that your body will burn up in no time, leaving you feeling hungry again. Keep food in tightly fitted containers so aromas won’t lure curious animals in close. •Embark early. The temperature is lower in the morning, and the sun is less intense in early morning as well. in addition, starting early reduces the chance you will be hiking in the dark. •Be aware of your surroundings. Although most animals will be content to avoid a hiking party, if they are provoked or caught off guard, they may defend themselves. Watch where you are walking and avoid going off the trail. if scaling rocks, be careful where you put your hands. there may be snakes or small rodents lurking in crevices. •Carry a field guide. Refer to a field guide to help identify plants, trees and animals you may have seen. •Take plenty of photographs. Most hikers want to document the sights around them. Capture the moments with photos and be sure to make prints later. •Carry out only what you carried in. Litter can ruin a natural landscape and put animals in danger. always bring a trash bag and remove your spent items. also, leave nature as you found it. Resist the urge to take flowers or saplings.

pring cleaning plans are on the minds of many once the weather warms up. Many homeowners feel a sense of renewal in the spring, when the desire to clean house and get organized becomes a priority. Garages are often targets for homeowners hoping to target clutter. Once a space reserved for cars, garages are no longer strictly for vehicles, used instead to store items that simply do not fit inside the home or a backyard shed. Organizing the garage is typically a weekend or several-day project. HereÕ s how to turn a garage from a cluttered mess into a space suited for
www.addison-eagle.com
March 22, 2014
Make a plan for garage organization storing items of all shapes and sizes. * Enlist a helper. Organizing a garage is a significant undertaking that is best tackled with two or more people. enlist a helper to make the project less intimidating. * decide what is important to keep. start the organization process by clearing out the garage and taking inventory of what you have. items that have not been used for several years can likely be tossed. Make a pile of what will be kept and then put the rest at the curb or donate useful items to charity. * Give thought to where you want to store particular items. tools and items that are used more often should be stored within reach or where easily visible, while items that are not used as frequently can be stored higher up. think about how you operate in the garage. Recycling bins can be stored closer to the door into the home, while bicycles and skates can be nearer to the garage door for easy access. •Group like items together. Categorize items that will be kept. Garden tools, camping gear, sporting equipment, and automotive supplies should be categorized and stored in their own areas of the garage, determining if certain items can be stored inside the home to free up garage space. Grouping items together will make them easier to locate in the garage.
•Move boxed items into clear storage containers. It’s much easier to see what you have when it is stored in clear containers. some containers are interlocking or stackable, making it much more convenient to store items vertically and free up more floor space. •Invest in vertical storage systems. Moving items from the floor and putting them on shelving or behind cabinets can make the garage more organized. Hooks and bins also can be used. employ a peg board full of hooks for oft-used tools or other items you need at the ready. •Leave space for hobby and work areas. Garages are where many improvement projects begin or where hobbies, such as woodworking or crafting, take place. leave space for these tasks and hobbies. •Give the space a fresh coat of paint. Some garages are dingy and dark. Bright paint on the walls and floor can open up the space and, when combined with more lighting, can make it lighter and brighter. Garage organization is a common spring cleaning project. But it shouldnÕ t be reserved for this season alone. Periodic checks of the garage and straightening up can keep a garage clean and organized throughout the entire year and make yearly spring cleaning much more manageable.

The Week In Sports
Middlebury coach links high school to college By Keith Lobdell
Special to the Eagle Many young people grow up with the dream of making it to the big stage in the world of sports. Coach Bill Beaney believes those who have made it to that next level should help support those dreams. Beaney, the head coach of the Middlebury College menÕ s hockey team, spoke to educators assembled at the College For every student (CFes) headquarters about the bonds that form when players from his teams go to local schools. Ò these players can latch onto younger kids and communicate in a way that is much more meaningful and deeper,Ó Beaney said. Ò What we try to do is make a connection that will carry on. if you can develop trust, it is amazing what you can come away with.Ó Recently, some of BeaneyÕ s players joined with college student-athletes from the Middlebury womenÕ s hockey team to visit students at ticonderoga and Crown Point Central schools. Ò they come back from those trips and they cannot stop talking about what happened there,Ó Beaney said. Ò i had a practice that night and the girls had a game and they all came back with
smiles on their faces and sharing stories.Ó Beaney said when players talk to younger students and make trips to schools, he wants them to help students become leaders in the same way he works with his players and students. Ò For me, over the course of the last 10 years, i have noticed that being a leader today is really difficult,” Beaney said. “We need to start early to develop the characteristics of real leaders because there are not a lot of them. We need to talk about goal setting, what it means to be a friend, standing up for the tough decisions and helping to solve problems.Ó Beaney said that he promotes self leadership with his students and athletes because they need to be able to motivate themselves in tough times. Ò When you look at the athletes competing in the Olympics, their parents played a roll and were holding on, but they were the ones that had the drive to get to that next step, and learning how to get there is the kind of things that we can talk about with our students.Ó Beaney said that he tries to teach four core principles to his athletes: preparation, respect, having Olympic-sized dreams and dealing with distractions. Ò itÕ s not just about teaching them a math equation, its about turning the light on and getting the kids excited,Ó he said.

A Vermont marathoner’s quest for seven continents By Muir Haman
Special to the Eagle VeRGennes Ñ On March 21, at 7 p.m., Bixby Memorial Free library in Vergennes will host local marathoner John lent as he presents stories of runners who participated in marathons held in antarctica and south america. Between Jan. 23 and Feb. 4, on his quest to complete a marathon on each of the seven continents, lent travelled to the tip of south america and then farther still to antarctica to run in two marathons. along the way, lent drew inspiration from the
surprisingly diverse group of runners he met. While accompanying ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary feats, lent wit-
John Lent and Mary Ann Castimore.
nessed stories of resilience, compassion, generosity, and spirit in two of the most surprising marathon settings. the lasting friendships lent initiated in Punta arenas and on King George island have continued to inspire him and he hopes to share these illuminating revelations with the community as part of Bixby Memorial Free libraryÕ s
ongoing community programs. lent is a resident of Waltham with his wife, Mary ann Castimore. His marathon quest began while he was working for a technology company, finding marathons to run while travelling for business. since then, he has completed marathons in all 50 statesÑ twiceÑ and in all 13 Canadian provinces, and also on six continents.

Sheldon Museum seeing circles through April 19 MiddleBuRy Ñ MiddleburyÕ s sheldon Museum is seeing circles this spring. the new exhibit, Circling the sheldon, highlights objects in the sheldonÕ s collection that feature circles. Visitors will find this distinguished geometric form in historic military and fashion buttons, a wooden peg leg worn by Jonathan Preston who lost his leg in action during the Revolution, Native American baskets, antique leather fire buckets, a colorful yo-yo quilt, and the historic clock face with Roman numerals salvaged from the Middlebury Congregational Church at the time of its 1989 building restoration. One of the more sculptural, signature pieces on view is a an 1877 patented Penny-farthing, high wheel bicycle by the Pope Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Conn., known as Ò expertÓ model with a 52Ó front wheel. Rare today, these bikes were so popular in their time that they were termed Ò ordinaries.Ó another arresting design is found on a late 19th century handsewn log Cabin quilt of Ò Windmill BladesÓ capturing the circular movement of the revolving blades. an adjacent multi-colored circular Ò yo yoÓ quilt celebrates the famous toy that gained popularity in the 1930s. Positioned between these quits is the portrait of Ò Mrs. Wilson,Ó a seemly relaxed elder seamstress, contently stitching fabric. MuseumÕ s archival records, however, indicate that Mrs. Wilson tried to drown herself in MiddleburyÕ s Otter Creek, but luckily was rescued by Ò dr. Russell.Ó the public is invited to learn more about the Ò CircleÓ and the sheldon during casual visits or at exhibit gallery talks held each Wednesday at noon and led by the sheldonÕ s executive director Bill Brooks or associate director Mary Manley. the tours are included with regular Museum admission; free for museum members. the exhibit will be on view through april 19. the Henry sheldon Museum is located at 1 Park st. in downtown Middlebury across from the ilsley library.

Route 7, especially between Middlebury and new Haven, as well as on u.s. Route 4 along the mountainside near Killington. Traffic stopped for a time when a Phoenix Feeds truck jack-knifed on the side Route 4 a few miles east of Rutland. during the height of the storm, between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., Wednesday, whiteout conditions prevailed on area roadways.
