Cotey Gallagher: an eye for art By Lou Varricchio Lou@ addison-eagle.com S A L S I B U RY Ñ A r t i s t Cotey Gallagher of Salisbury is passionate equally about art and humor. The self-described Ò perfectionistÓ and young commercial artistÑ who has illustrated everything from childrenÕ s books and English-as-asecond-language language textbooks to personal art commissions and high-tech articles appearing in geeky, national computer magazinesÑ believes that art should be an equal blend of hard work, detail and fun. Gallagher, who was born in Vermont, began doodling and drawing at an early age. Thanks to her parents, who nurtured her natural talent while she was a student enrolled at the Salisbury Elementary School, Gallagher was able to pursue her passion and demonstrate a keen eye for the world around her. From Boston to New York City and back to Vermont, art remains at the core of GallagherÕ s life. Art, according to the artist, even if itÕ s a Hollywood celebrity caricature, should reflect something deeper than what meets the eyeÑ she calls it the soul of the work. While in her senior year at Middlebury Union High School in 1996, Gallagher (nee Cote) received a Merit Scholarship to attend the Art Institute of Boston, now a part of Leslie University College of Art and Design. Upon graduation in 2000, the budding artist received the instituteÕ s prestigious Ò Best in Department AwardÓ for overall work completed during her fouryear tenure (the art equivalent of magna cum laude honors).

Manure spreading ban to end By Lou Varricchio Lou@ addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ While April 1 signals the end of the Winter Manure Spreading Ban in Vermont imposed by the Accepted Agricultural Practice Regulations (AAPs), the continued presence of snow pack on farm fields will present a challenge to farmers who wish to start spreading manure as soon as the ban is over. The AAPs require that all agricultural wastes be managed in order to prevent adverse impacts to water quality. That means that while it is legal to spread manure once the Winter Ban is over, manure must still be applied in a way that does not result in runoff of manure to surface water or across property boundaries. Once the snow begins to melt, manure can be carried away to the low CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

MVAA changes as it becomes MREMS By Lou Varricchio Lou@ addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association has gone through a name change to better reflect its mission and services. Bill Edson, operations chief of Middlebury Regional Emergency Medical Services, answered questions about the new change. Why did Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association (MVAA) change its name to Middlebury Regional Emergency Medical Services (MREMS)? Edson: MVAA has been in existence since 1970 and the name change is part of the organizationÕ s continuing evolution and growth. Among other reasons, MREMS better reflects our expanded services throughout the regionÑ not just Middlebury. MREMS will continue to evolve as a multi-faceted organization that is grounded in the heritage and mission of the MVAA, but also change and grow to reflect the needs of the community. What changes will MREMS be making? Edson: MREMS will be providing more services to area communities, as well as re-organizing, so that we can better implement our strategic plan. The organization needs to address and respond to the growing demands of the emergency medical and Bill Edson with the MREMS rescue utility vehicle at last year’s Addison County Fair and Field Days.

Horse owners advised of local diseases By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com Spring is around the corner, and with its arrival comes the need for horse-owning Vermonters to ensure that their companions are protected from diseases transmitted by mosquitos, such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile Virus (WNV). EEE is a mosquito-borne, viral infection that can cause severe neurologic disease in horses, with mortality rates approaching 100 percent. Although horses are the animals most susceptible to EEE, the virus can cause disease in other mammals such as llamas and alpacas and in emus. In all animals, the onset of clinical signs is generally three to ten days after a bite by an infected
mosquito. Mammals infected with EEE most commonly exhibit neurologic signs including ataxia or incoordination, inability to stand, limb weakness or paralysis, seizures and death, while infected emus often develop hemorrhagic diarrhea. WNV infection can cause similar signs in horses, although those signs are often less severe, and the mortality rate that results from WNV infection is generally lower than that associated with EEE infection. Mammals infected with EEE and WNV are dead-end hosts, meaning that they generally are unable to transmit the diseases to other animals or to people. Vermont cases of EEE and WNV are required to be reported to the Office of the State Veterinarian. Ò This is the time of the year when horse owners should be
consulting with their veterinarians to ensure that their horses are appropriately vaccinated for EEE and WNVÓ , said Dr. Kristin Haas, Vermont State Veterinarian. Ò A horseÕ s susceptibility to EEE and WNV infection is not linked to travel to shows, fairs or other commingling events,Ó Haas noted. Ò We know that both viruses are present in Vermont, so even horses that spend the majority of their time on isolated properties are susceptible and should be vaccinated.Ó Although vaccination is the most effective tool for preventing EEE in horses, owners may also protect their horses from infection by using an acceptable insect repellent seasonally and mechanical barriers such as fly sheets and face nets. Changing out water troughs regularly and removing other items that hold water will help to reduce mosquito breeding areas.
Rokeby seeks volunteers to help tell historic story FERRISBURGH Ñ The Rokeby Museum celebrates volunteers every April Ð National Volunteer Month Ð with an orientation session for new recruits. Join the museum staff on Saturday, April 19, at 10 a.m. ,to check out the opportunities. Volunteering at Rokeby offers a unique opportunity for personal education and service rolled into one. Volunteers are the lifeblood of most nonprofit organizations in the area, including Rokeby, where they handle everything from tour guiding to bookkeeping. Volunteers should love working with people, art and antiques, and American history. New guides will complete a brief training course that introduces them to the Quaker family that called Rokeby home (pictured) and the 200 years of history they lived here. Volunteers study historic photographs, documents, art, and artifacts from the museumÕ s collection and then share what they
have learned with visitors, working two tour days per month during the season (May 18 to Oct. 26). Rokeby Museum is a 90-acre historic site and National Historic Landmark designated for its Underground Railroad history. It combines a nationally significant Underground Railroad site tucked inside a quintessential Vermont experience. For more information e-mail Jane Williamson at rokeby@comcast.net. The Rokeby Museum is located at 4334 Route 7 in Ferrisburgh.

Lions Club coordinating ‘Food from the Heart’ program By Connie St. George
BRANDON Ñ Once a year, beginning around ValentineÕ s Day, Lions Clubs across Vermont reach out to their communities to raise items for local food shelves via the civic organizationÕ s Food from the Heart program. Following the Christmas and New Year holidays, local shelters start running low on food and have few resources available to them. ThatÕ s when the Lions Club and local schools help to pitch in. Local Lions Club members recognized the need to keep valuable, local food resources stocked, so they set out to do something about it. Working with local grocery stores, schools, and individuals, club membersÑ with their school partnersÑ collect food and monetary donations to help restock area food shelves.

Recalls and take downs T
oyota has been through it: lawyers smelling blood in the water, injured consumers, and those going for the gold by signing on to class-action lawsuits. Now itÕ s General MotorsÕ turn. As an owner of a G.M. vehicle that is part of the current faulty ignition-switch recall, I wasnÕ t very happy to be a consumer caught in the middle of another auto company scandal and shakedown, er, problem (witness Toyota and its Ò unintended accelerationÓ woes). Last week, a U.S. judge in Texas decided to Ò go slowÓ after lawyers and families of victims called for a corporate lynching. They want General Motors to ground 2.53 million cars due to the defective ignition. So, how do 2.53 million drivers get around without their cars? ItÕ s an immense problem that no consumer lawyer, or even a federal judge, can get their hands around. In fact, the problem might cause its own spin off of lawsuits (to which I am happy to sign on). G.M. is one of only two remaining U.S.-owned auto companies. Chrysler, like or not, is really a foreign car company now being owned by the Italians thanks to Uncle Sam giving away that farm to foreigners just after the U.S. taxpayer bailed it out. And, ironically, as a new, leaner, meaner G.M., under Mary BarraÕ s leadership, was emerging from its predecessorÕ s bankrupt Government Motors bailout image, the old G.M. made a creepy reappearance, much like actor Jack NicholsonÕ s weird movie character in Ò The ShiningÓ . ToyotaÕ s scandal and $1.2 billion shakedown by the DOJÑ due to the controversial unintended acceleration debacleÑ was in the big news just as the G.M. problem moved up in the headlines to remind us that itÕ s always open season on big business. But in fairness to the Detroit boys and girlsÑ hey, if Toyota vehicles werenÕ t grounded over the acceleration problem (which had casualties, too) why should G.M.Õ s vehicles be grounded? With millions of these G.M vehicles already over the 100,000-mile mark on the odometer, why the sudden urgency to ground fleets of the cars? I have over 130,000 miles on my G.M. car; so far, no ignition-failure problem. And my ignition key fob, loaded with house and other keys? Looks a lot like the key ring of my elementary-school janitor. Are the ignition failures in vehicles with over 100,000 miles or under? (We donÕ t seem to know.) No matter, why would I stop driving my car based on a few accidents (and deaths)? Ok, I am told thereÕ s a problem with the airbag power. Well, what we donÕ t hear in the news reports is the fact that G.M. passenger airbags (the bags in question of failure) have a backup power source; part of engineering-in safety in-depth. So, I must agree with G.M. attorney David Balser. He told the Texas judge hearing the case that grounding 2.53 million cars would be Ò unprecedentedÓ and Ò cause chaos.Ó How about the math: 31 crashes and 12 deaths since 2001 out of 2.53 million vehicles; not something for G.M. to be proud of, yet it doesnÕ t take an Alan Turing to notice that 31 events out of 2.53 million in 13 years is, well, not something requiring the grounding of an entire fleet. An observation: If there is a bona fide catastrophic flaw running through every single ignition switch installed in 2.53 million cars, wouldnÕ t there be a far higher number of crashes and deaths that weÕ d be hearing about? How are other G.M. drivers reacting to all this? I am in touch with a Facebook-based group of recreational Chevrolet HHR owners. Members, like me, are still cruising around and enjoying our fun, spiffy retro-styled cars. Sure, the news is unsettling, but remember that so much of what we hear in the media is composed of equal parts of hype and hysteria. Spurned owners aside, when there are DOJ and other lawyers sniffing the water for corporate blood... Need I say more? I have my suspicions that G.M. will end up exactly like ToyotaÑ a one-way trip to Shakedown City. It will be forced to pay out for a problem that, at least statistically to me, doesnÕ t appear as catastrophic as first reported by the news media and the attorneys of victims and consumer groups.

Masonic Model Student Assistance Program To the editor: I had the wonderful opportunity to attend, in Burlington, the two day MMSAP (Masonic Model Student Assistance Program) seminar sponsored by the Vermont Freemasons and assisted by several Vermont state agencies. For decades I had considered it just another charity. I now see it more as an investment. The program does save school districts a lot of money but more importantly it acts to save children at risk. Just as the Shrine hospitals address the physical health the CARE/ MMSAP program seeks to improve the social / emotional health of the student. Seeing both these Masonic programs in action makes one proud to be a Freemason. R.E. Merrill Bristol
Seek NY opinion on pipeline To the editor: The North Country Chamber of Commerce is the largest business and economic development organization in northern New York and the Lake Champlain region, representing more than 4,200 predominantly small employers across Essex, Clinton, Franklin, Hamilton and northern Warren Counties. We are strategically committed to the sustainable economic future of our shared, bi-state Champlain Valley region, working actively over the last twenty years across the lake on such endeavors as the Lake Champlain Basin Plan. Looking ahead, the Addison-Rutland Natural Gas Project, now before the Addison County Regional Planning Commission for review, holds an historic opportunity for Vermont and New York to jointly sustain a major source of shared employment and economic activity while also significantly enhancing the environment, all by assisting International Paper in the planned transition from heavy oil to natural gas. Given the broad regional importance of this pending project, and the critical importance of bi-state cooperation and partnership in what is our shared future, we hope the Commission will provide sufficient time and opportunity for all areas of the Lake Champlain region to be part of the dialogue and input, and that the Commission will in the end advance this important project in support of our joint economic and environmental future.

Best editorial ever To the editor: Opinions, freedom, rights and wrongs - This editorial is the best editorial I have ever read and and should be featured on the front page of every newspaper, magazine, television, radio and other major media outlets instead of tucked away in a tiny Northwoods publication. I can hardly believe that anyone would even publish it! I just want to add a few truths that the media talking heads have propagandized to the point that it just disgusts me personally to even consider myself an American. Concerning the ACA, no matter how the politicians, media Ò spin doctors,Ó talk show Ò personalitiesÓ and other paid propagandists spin it, the truth is that universal health care in the U.S. is long overdue. ThereÕ s no need to discuss this any further. Regarding unchecked population growth, no matter how the media Ò spin doctors,Ó talk show Ò personalitiesÓ and other paid propagandists spin it, the truth is that, with very few exceptions, every one of mankindÕ s problems is owed to too many people. As a person with a scientific training in thermodynamics and reaction kinetics, I can assure you with 100 percent certainty that a day of reckoning is coming. The only uncertainty is when. No matter how the politicians, media Ò spin doctors,Ó talk show Ò personalitiesÓ and other paid propagandists spin it, the truth is that -- as IÕ ve said many times -- President KennedyÕ s famous admonition to, Ó ask not what your Country can do for you but rather what you can do for your Country.Ó may be a popular clicheÕ among the troops but it clearly doesnÕ t apply to legislators and the wealthy. IÕ m well aware that you know all this, but this is just a gentle reminder that some people really are aware of whatÕ s going on in this dysfunctional country. The real issue is what can be done? The truthful answer? Not much, and certainly not by appealing to a rigged legal system. In any event, today is the first day of New York’s trout season and IÕ ve got to think about important things, such as how long before the snow melts enough so that I can get to the streams!

Bristol man arrested for armed robbery
BRISTOL Ñ On March 30, Joshua Martell, 28, of Bristol was arrested for armed robbery. Martell entered the Big Wheel Variety Store on Route 116 in Bristol with a large knife demanding money. After being chased out of the store by the owner Joshua Martell was seen entering the woods by numerous area residents and passerbyÕ s.

Teens bring positive messages to Rutland youth By Allison Iannetti Special to the Eagle RUTLAND Ñ A group of motivated, empowered youth, accompanied by their adult leaders, visited Rutland County recently to give inspiring presentations to area youth. Students in grades 6 to 8, from three Rutland-area schools, were inattendance. The Youth-2-Youth program, born in New Hampshire and sponsored through the Dover Police Department, has been working with New England young people since 1994. Not only has the program played key roles in policy change in their community, they frequently produce public service announcements, and travel the region giving presentations. The Rutland presentation included educational, real life stories about drug abuse tragedies, media targeting, and a brief overview on how the brain is adversely affected by use of alcohol and other drugs. The event was organized by the Rutland Area Prevention Coalition in partnership with the Vermont Department of Health through the Partnership for Success Grant. The goal of the effort is that area youth will become engaged in finding ways to promote public awareness of the prevalence and dangers of underage drinking and substance abuse in our communities. While engaging in these activities the youth will utilize and develop public speaking and presentation skill, media literacy, advocacy and knowledge of legislature and public policy. Approximately 264 students attended, as well as many faculty and staff. One adult commented at the end that if he had to describe what he had just seen in one word he would sayÑ Ó effective.Ó It was an ideal start to getting the local community on board to help our children make good choices and keep them safe. With the Rutland Area Prevention Coalition (RAP) as the overseeing agency, a group is in the beginning stage for youth in Rutland County. Implementing youth guided programs such as these allow for the teens to learn how to be empowered and appropriate avenues to take for their voices to be heard. The additional benefit to our community is parent and public education regarding these important topics as well as resources on where they can find help and further information. These programs allow us to be part of the solution in a time when there is such an overwhelming problem. Be sure to look for substance abuse prevention messages in and around local neighborhoods, stores, and schools. Allison Iannetti is a local youth coordinator.

Recalling Reagan warnings John J. Metzler
UNITED NATIONS Ñ A deteriorating and dangerous diplomatic showdown continues over Ukraine as the United States and European Union rhetorically push back against Vladimir PutinÕ s power grab in the Crimea. In an emergency Security Council meeting, UkraineÕ s embattled Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk made an impassioned plea for his countryÕ s sovereign right Ò to remain independent and free.Ó Ukraine’s fledgling government nonetheless, realizes both its vulnerability to neighboring RussiaÕ s political policies as well as its energy supplies. Ukraine and Europe in general face a dangerous dependency on Russian energy; especially the free and unhindered flow of natural gas to heat its homes and power its factories. Ukraine has already seen the chilling results of Moscow turning off the gas tap on two occasions in 2006 and 2009. ThereÕ s nothing like a big freeze to concentrate thoughts. Back in 1981 AmericaÕ s new President Ronald Reagan, warned West Germany and the Europeans in general of the geopolitical dangers resulting from a trans-Siberian pipeline then being built to swish cheap Russian energy to Europe. I recall being in Germany and hearing the pious rationalizations by both big business and politicians how the Ò Americans are overreactingÓ and how Soviet energy exports were Ò all business.Ó A generation later, and after the fall of the So-
viet Union, the political palaver in both Washington and the European Union about PutinÕ s resurgent Russia, seems to overlook the glaring reality that Eastern and some West European states, are overly dependent not only on the Russian natural gas supply, but letÕ s add, the KremlinÕ s callous use of energy as a political tool to effect change. In 2006, the Bush administration sharply criticized Russia for using energy supplies as a weapon to politically influence countries and urged the Europeans to diversify energy supply sources. Without question Ukraine, as an integral part of the former Soviet system and despite its sovereignty since 1991, is grafted into the Russian energy grid. While not surprising, this is a cause for concern given the current crisis. We may also add that the three Baltic states, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, though now independent from Moscow and thankfully members of NATO and the European Union are 100 percent dependent on Russian energy. Add Finland an Sweden too, in the 100 percent club. The Central European countries such as the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland while free of MoscowÕ s formal embrace, and also NATO and EU members, are highly dependent, may we add with a wry smile, on Russian largesse. Now to EuropeÕ s core countries: Germany, without question EuropeÕ s economic powerhouse, depends on Russia for one third of its oil and gas needs. This dependence has widened given GermanyÕ s ongoing phase-
Birchmore receives DAR Good Citizen’s Award VERGENNES Ñ Each year a Vergennes Union High School senior is chosen for the DAR Good CitizenÕ s Award by faculty members nominating three seniors and then the senior class elects one of those three as Good Citizens. DAR, sponsored by the local Daughters of the American Revolution, Seth Warner Chapter, announced last week that the 2014 Good Citizen is Jared Birchmore. Intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citizenship, the DAR Good CitizenÕ s Award recognizes a student that possesses the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism to an outstanding degree. Birchmore has also competed for a scholarship sponsored by the DAR Good Citizens committee by writing an essay and submitting a resume of his high school activities and achievements.

out of nuclear power. Belgium depends on Russia for 43 percent and Austria stands at 52 percent. Importantly neither the United Kingdom nor the Netherlands have any significant Russian dependence given alternative sources from North Sea and Norway. Much of the current latter day wisdom coming out of Washington points to growing natural gas production in the USA which can be sold and shipped to Europe. This is a prudent medium term plan which sounds reassuring on paper until you realize that building natural gas terminals to ship the energy are mostly on the drawing boards. Then thereÕ s all the talk about new pipelines. According to a Congressional Research Service report, Ò EuropeÕ s Energy SecurityÓ : Ò As EuropeÕ s natural gas production has declined in recent years, its dependence on imported natural gas has increased. This has left it more dependent as a whole on its primary supplier, Russia, which has shown some inclination to use its resources for political ends.Ó The respected CRS adds, Ò All Russian natural gas exports are controlled by Gazprom. As a state-controlled firm, Gazprom has the closest possible links with top Russian leaders (Prime Minister Dimitri Mevedev served as president
of Gazprom). The personal and political fortunes of RussiaÕ s leaders are closely tied to Gazprom.Ó Approximately half of all Russian government revenue comes from oil and gas. The Kremlin is not going to shut off the lucrative tap to Western Europe. Yet, as we have already witnessed, any interruptions to Ukraine would cause supply problems downstream. Remember many of the pipelines to Europe transit Ukraine. Germany and Poland have been particularly scornful of MoscowÕ s intimidation of Ukraine. Yet as PolandÕ s Prime Minister Donald Tusk candidly told Reuters, Ò GermanyÕ s reliance on Russian gas can effectively limit European sovereignty.Ó Despite EuropeÕ s distaste and unease with MoscowÕ s moves in Crimea, and possibly beyond, sadly EuropeÕ s diplomatic freedom of action is compromised by its strong energy dependence on Russia. This is hardly coincidental. John J. Metzler is a U.N. correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues. He writes weekly for WorldTribune.com.

Cotey Gallagher From page 1
from many things including fine art as well as commercial art,” said Gallagher. Ò But I especially love commercial art; it makes an everyday connection with people. ThatÕ s why I love the late Norman RockwellÑ his eye for simple details and his wry sense of humor,Ó she said. Ò I also love Mad Magazine artist Mort Drucker and of course the late caricaturist Al Hirschfeld of Broadway fame.Ó Humor and art, we might add, make a potent pair. GallagherÕ s art has gone through several evolutionary stagesÑ from dabbling in recording album-cover art work to spot-on celebrity caricatures and even editorial cartoons. Ò I did some character drawings for two books by Port Henry, N.Y., author and poet Jean Arleen Breed,Ó Gallagher added. Ò She also wrote a poetry book about the Lake Champlain Bridge. I met her at a craft fair that we both attended. I happen to make handpainted ornaments and sell them at craft fairs.Ó Recently, Gallagher stepped into the world of publishing by illustrating the Ò Hello Green MountainsÓ childrenÕ s book series written by Ashley Charron (profiled in the Eagle recently). After the Ô Hello Green MountainsÕ series wraps up, shelÕ ll be focusing more on her own childrenÕ s book, titled Ò Have You Ever Seen?Ó Ò You must know that I am a word nerdÑ an old Mad Libs word game fanÑ so I thought it would be fun to get young people stimulated by getting funny and creative with the English language,Ó Gallagher said. Ò Have You Ever Seen?Ó is a deliciously clever book that young children will enjoy; they will find plenty of giggle material between the covers. GallagherÕ s Lewis Carroll-like illustrations in Ò Have You Ever Seen?Ó depict outrageous alliterations such as: Ò A soda sipping salamander,Ó Ò ogling an octopus operating on an ox,Ó and Ò witnessing a worried walrus waving at a woman named Wanda,Ó as well as lots more alliteative illustrations. So, what does an artist like Gallagher do when it comes time to relax and replenish the creative juices?
MREMS
From page 1 rescue industry as well as challenges of modern healthcare reformation. In addition, MREMS will change its internal structure in order to provide the four Ô pillars of serviceÕ that support our overall mission of quality patient care, community outreach, and social responsibility. What are the four pillars? Edson: They are: Field Services, Business Services, Community Education Services and Outreach Services . Within each service Ô pillarÕ are familiar components of the MVAA that will continueÑ Middlebury Ambulance and the Middlebury Ambulance Heavy Rescue team. What functions will Field Services provide? Edson: Field Services is the mainstay of MREMS. It continues the traditions of the original MVAA and is the essence of Middlebury Ambulance. It includes our 911 and inter-facility ambulance, paramedic intercept, Heavy Rescue, and mass casualty response services. What functions will Business Services provide? Edson: Business Services will manage a new ambulance billing entity, ResQ Revenue, a centralized telecommunications and emergency dispatch service that will offer local medical answering services and paging options, and emergency dispatching to area fire and EMS organizations.
Cotey Gallagher Ò Well, I am always sketching, not just in my studio but all around the house. But when I want to enjoy the Vermont outdoors in the spring and summer, I enjoy vegetable gardening and landscaping with my husband Josh and son Gage, whoÕ s in the third grade.Ó When best-selling author-entrepreneur Seth Godin one wrote that, Ò Art is not in the eye of the beholder; itÕ s in the soul of the artist,Ó he must have been referring to Cotey Gallagher.
These local services will be offered at affordable and lessthan-market rates with the intent to help contain the growing operational costs of emergency, medical, and health care services. What functions will Community Education Services provide? Edson: Community Education Services will provide routine classes that highlight all levels of professional and lay-person certifications in cardiac life support and CPR, plus other community health and safety courses. What functions will Outreach Services provide? Edson: Outreach Services, arguably the most important pillar, will focus on the commitment to social responsibility, its community interface, and the overall solvency of the organization. It will be led by the MVAA Board of Directors which provides organizational governance and corporate oversight for the entire organization, and the MVAA auxiliary as a fundraising and support mechanism that will ensure the continuation of programs such as the annual Service Subscription Membership. Through its Outreach Services, the MVAA remains as an identified “DBA” to Middlebury Regional EMS. What changes has MVAA experienced since its founding? Edson: MVAA was originally founded from a grass-roots effort by a handful of community members. In the last four decades weÕ ve experienced an increased demand for our services along with a substantial decrease in emergency services volunteerismÑ a national phenomenon that has been felt by the MVAA and many other local EMS

agencies and fire departments. In 1970 we responded to 300 to nearly 2,100 calls in 2012. This growing demand for services cannot be met by volunteers alone, and therefore as a result, Middlebury Ambulance maintains a staff of both professional and volunteer EMTs and paramedics Our organization also provides services to 10 Addison County towns, covering 400 square miles and 18,000 citizens. We also provide mutual aid support and paramedic intercept services for the Bristol Rescue, Vergennes Area Rescue, and Brandon Area Rescue squads. How are these services paid for? Edson: Providing modern medical service comes with an annual operational expense of nearly $1M. Much of this is paid by insurance and private fee for service payments, personal contributions, and fundraising efforts. MREMS will continue with its policy of not requesting tax-based appropriations from the communities it serves. Will MVAA no longer rely on volunteers? Edson: The expansion doesnÕ t mean that the MVAA or its emphasis on volunteerism and community service disappears. In fact, the expanded structure will provide even more opportunities for people to volunteer in other roles beyond those of EMTs. We believe this expansion of services will also create a half dozen new jobs within the coming months. Special thanks to the Addison County Chamber of Commerce for the use of this interview.

punter where he owns the schoolÕ s single-season and career records for field goals. He was named a District I Academic AllAmerican by CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors Association) during his senior year.

From page 1 points in the landscape. To help you remain in compliance with the AAPs, the Agency of Agriculture strongly recommends the following: If you still have room in your manure pit, wait until snow is off the fields before you spread manure. If you must spread manure before snow is off the fields: choose fields that are relatively flat and far away from rivers and streams; if you must spread on fields near rivers and streams, do not apply manure within 150 feet of the top of the bank; if you are spreading in fields with ditches, do not apply manure within 150 feet of the ditch; do not apply manure within 100 feet of property lines and roads; utilize reduced rates of application. In addition, those farms operating under an NRCS 590 compliant nutrient management plan are advised that application of manure to frozen ground or snow covered ground or in conditions where offsite losses of nutrients are likely is prohibited unless the above criteria are considered when selecting sites for application. If you observe these added safety precautions while land applying manure in the presence of snow, you will help to minimize any runoff of manure that could occur during snow melt. The Agency urges all those considering applying manure at this time of year to operate with the utmost of care so that water quality is best protected. For questions about the AAPs and how to manage your manure application operations to prevent impacts to water quality, call the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets at 802-828-2431.
