Route 116 commuters to get bus
Stomach flu outbreaks reported By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY — Vermont health officials are weighing the risks of other outbreaks of a powerful 48-hour stomach flu that occurred on the Middlebury College last week. On the heels of the campus outbreak, several reports of norovirus have been noted elsewhere in Addison County and in Franklin County by the Vermont Health Department. Teachers of several schools in Rutland County have also reported outbreaks. Norovirus outbreaks are often linked to food or water, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC). Symptoms of flu include diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Suffers are advised to drink water as the effects of the virus can cause dehydration. The norovirus, sometimes referred to as the Norwalk Agent, is a RNA virus. The "bug" is linked to 90 percent of epidemic outbreaks of nonbacterial gastroenteritis in the U.S. The norovirus, according to the CDC’s website, "is typically transmitted by fecal-contaminated food or water, by personto-person contact, and airborne contamination of surfaces." Bradley Tompkins of the Vermont Health Department, advised residents to take precautions. "This occurs every year. We have reports of several outbreaks in institutional settings across Vermont," he said. Tompkins said frequent hand washing helps to reduce the spread of the virus.

HINESBURG — Commuters along the Route 116 corridor have long complained about the lack of reliable public transportation between their communities and Burlington. Residents along Route 116 who prefer to leave their cars at home have had to rely on carpooling to get to work. Now a new commuter bus will link the Route 116 towns, via Hinesburg, starting in late April. Officials of Chittenden County Transportation Authority (CCTA) and Addison County Transit Resources
(ACTR) announced last week that they have received taxpayer funds, from the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation, that will fund a public transportation link between Route 116 communities and businesses. “We are pleased that this innovative public-private collaboration will enable us to provide folks with access to employment markets in Burlington, Hinesburg and Middlebury,” Jim Moulton, executive director of ACTR, said. According to Karla Munson, coordinator of Hinesburg Rides, “the service is the result See ROUTE 116 BUS, page 9
No snow: Women’s ski event canceled in Ripton RIPTON — A dry January and an equally unwinterlike forecast for the start of February has prompted the organizers of a first-time Vermont ski activity for women to cancel their event. Due to marginal snow conditions, Women’s Ski Day at the Rikert Nordic Center was not be held Feb. 5 as planned. “Unfortunately, we just couldn’t get the weather to cooperate. Since this was the first Women’s Ski Day at Rikert, we wanted conditions to be ideal. Especially with another warm up in the forecast, it seemed the best option was to look ahead to next season and plan for a fabulous event in 2013,” said Petty Lyons, event organizer at Rikert Nordic Center. "We were so excited to have so many terrific sponsors for this first annual event and wish to thank them for their support." Hosted in partnership with the, Women’s Ski Day in Vermont was to feature coaching in ski technique from top instructors, along with waxing clinics and a yoga workshop. Proceeds from the event were to benefit the Stride Foundation, a Ferrisburgh-based non-profit devoted to empowering girls and women through mentoring and sports. Lead event sponsors had included the Middlebury Inn, Waterfalls Day Spa, Ski Rack, Middlebury Mountaineer, TD Bank, Rikert Nordic Center, Toko, Otter Creek Yoga.

Man catches spectacular salmon in Lake Champlain By Eric LaMontagne
LAKE CHAMPLAIN — The ice took a long time to get here, but it’s quickly appearing that it was well worth the wait. In January, Craig Smith pulled the third largest Northern Pike record on Lake Champlain. Now, just three weeks later, an angler in Milton just produced an enormous Atlantic salmon. At about 11:15 Thursday morning, Lance Champney, of Milton, was fishing the Cowbanks, a well-known spot for salmon on Lake Champlain. Despite being a lifetime angler, this was only his second year fishing salmon through the ice. “It’s just never been good enough,” Champney said. “We tried it a bunch of years ago, but it wasn’t until the last few that things have gotten back to where it’s worth the time.” And well worth it, it was. “I didn’t see the flag go off, but when I looked over, there it was,” Champney recalled. Sure enough, upon closer inspection, the reel was stripping out line at a steady pace. This is where Champney’s experience came into play. “I didn’t want to set the hook immediately in case it just ripped it right out
of its mouth.” Instead, Champney waited until he saw the line slow down and he knew the fish had stopped. With a gentle tug, he set the hook. Then the battle was on. Over the next 45 minutes, Champney noted how his patience was pushed to the limit. Over and over, the fish would allow itself to be pulled to the hole, but the second it saw the light, would take off again. “You have to
weighed, where it tipped the scale at around 10.5 lbs. Wanting to get an official weight to put on the books, he then brought the fish to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife office in Essex Vermont where they referred him to Lakeshore Ace in Colchester Vermont. “I had a biologist and two wardens go with me to the weigh in. It was quite a scene.” The final numbers were 32.75 inches long, 16.12 inches in girth and 10.34 pounds. Shy of a record, but a spectacular fish nonetheless. Oddly enough, the big salmon was still sporting a large kype, left over from the previous spawning season. State Biologist Bernie Pientka had a chance to examine the fish, saying that most likely the fish was either late to mature, or it was spawning late. “Either way,” Pientka said, “This large salmon is another example of the success of the lamprey control program in Lake Champlain.” Champney agreed. “I’ve been fishing Lake Champlain since I can remember,” he said. “The past couple years are the best I’ve ever seen it out here.” Story courtesy of Lake Champlain International.
work with the fish,” Champney said. “When it goes, you go. When it stops, you stop. It made it to the hole seven or eight times before we were finally able to grab it.” When the fish was finally through the ice, all the anxiety and frustration turned into pure excitement and adrenaline. Packing up as quickly as possible, Champney rushed the fish over to Dockside Marine to get it

WEST HAVEN – Officials from Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre and Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven have announced a Vermont State Late Model Championship Series for the 2012 stock auto racing season. Four long-distance stock car events for Late Model race teams will determine the Vermont State Late Model Champion.

Devil’s Bowl Speedway will host a 100-lap event June 8,. The Vermont State Late Model Champion will be crowned at the Devil’s Bowl season finale on Sept. 16. Both events will be 100 laps in distance.

This combined effort to give the weekly teams around the region an opportunity to have a four race weekly type series and honor the first Vermont State Late Model Champion is a nice balance between tour racing and weekly racing. I think it will be well received by Late Model teams in the region,” said Tom Curley, long time promoter of Thunder Road and the American Canadian Tour.

Asian classical guitarist to grace Middlebury stage MIDDLEBURY — Classical guitarist Xuefei Yang will return to Middlebury College’s Performing Arts Series Feb. 21 to perform a beautiful concert of works by Bach, Regondi, Brouwer, Chopin, and Albéniz. Ever since her last Middlebury recital in 2008, Middlebury patrons have asked when Ms. Yang would return. Audiences will surely feel the three-year wait was worthwhile. Originally from Beijing, Yang is regarded as one of the world’s finest classical guitarists. The concert program at Middlebury will include Spanish pianist and composer Isaac Albéniz’s Asturias, from Suite Española Op. 47; Italian composer Giulio Regondi’s Air Varié de l’Opera de Bellini, I Capuleti e i Montecchi; and Cuban composer, conductor, and guitarist Leo Brouwer ’s guitar sonata. Yang will also perform several compositions she has arranged herself: J. S. Bach’s Violin Sonata BWV 1001, Albeniz’s España, Seis Hojas de Album Op. 165; and Frédéric Chopin’s Two Valses. Yang was born following China’s Cultural Revolution. She was the first guitarist in China to enter a music school, and became the first to launch an international professional career. In 1995, when movie soundtrack composer John Williams came to Beijing, he was so impressed with her playing that he gave two of his own Smallman guitars to the Beijing’s Central Conservatoire especially for Yang and other advanced students. Today, Yang enjoys a truly international career, performing worldwide as a soloist, as a chamber musician, and with leading orchestras. Yang’s recordings for EMI Classics have also earned her praise. Her debut album, “Romance de Amor,” won a gold disc in Hong Kong. The concert by Yang will take place Feb. 21, at 7:30 p.m., at Middlebury College’s Mahaney Center for the Arts, in the Concert Hall. For ticket information, call 802-443-6433.

Remain objective on Vermont Yankee
T
he three members of the Vermont Public Service Board are about to get more free advice than all the Boston Red Sox managers combined. That’s because the best case the opponents of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant have to shut the plant down is to convince the PSB that it is no longer worthy of a Certificate of Public Good. As state auditor, it is my duty to evaluate the performance of state government. I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that state government has wasted a lot of taxpayer money trying to destroy a flawed but valuable asset. Vermont’s attempt to close the plant last year was carefully worded to forbid the PSB from considering the plant’s application for a Certificate of Public Good. Why? The PSB’s mission is, in part, “to ensure the provision of high quality public utility services in Vermont at minimum reasonable costs, consistent with the long-term public good of the state.” Then Senator Peter Shumlin and his allies were afraid the Public Service Board would make a decision based on its mission. Vermont Yankee produces baseload electricity at about 4 cents per kilowatt hour and has offered to renew contracts at about 6 cents. Wind turbines produce it intermittently at closer to 20 cents/kwh as mandated by the Legislature. Despite some serious transgressions over the years by Entergy, the plant’s owner, the PSB could not ignore the cost factor, the near zero greenhouse gas emissions, taxes paid to the state and the impact of more than 1,000 jobs. When the cost of electricity is factored into the current economic climate for other Vermont businesses, it is easy to see why VY’s opponents would be worried. Now that Vermont’s defense of that law has been rejected in federal court at great expense to taxpayers, we’re back to square one at the Public Service Board. The other portion of the PSB’s mission statement says: “The Board strives to
achieve this mission by providing an independent, fair and efficient means of resolving public utility disputes; and by guiding the development of state utility policies and rules for public services to best serve the long-term interest of Vermont and its residents.” When it comes to independence and fairness, the PSB is under the microscope in a big way. The Green Mountain Care Board was supposed to be independent, too. But, this facade of independence was torched by Gov. Peter Shumlin when he demanded that members of the GMCB cancel plans to hire some communication help and they actually did. PSB Chairman Jim Volz and members David Coen and John Burke have the duty to remain objective in the face of shrill, arrogant anti-nuclear zealots who could care less about the practical issues involving energy policy. Just as importantly, there is a great opportunity. This is the opening for our state’s majority of pragmatic, reasonable Vermonters to insist on a practical, affordable plan for our energy future. Realistic Vermonters understand that the threat of global warming far outweighs any perceived threat to safety from nuclear power. Vermonters can demand that this source of inexpensive, virtually carbon-free baseload electricity be kept on-line to serve us rather than out-of-state utilities. They can also demand that Entergy clean up its act and run the plant properly or sell it to a firm that can. Gov. Peter Shumlin’s plan to power the state with 90 percent renewable electricity by 2050 ignores the mission of “minimum reasonable cost” and the fact that renewables only produce power intermittently. Vermonters who understand this should say so before they are priced out of existence. Tom Salmon, CPA, CFE Vermont State Auditor

The Buffetster
C
ouple of buddies and I have middle-age guy cigar “B.S.” nights.
Saturday night past, political chat included tax-the-wealthy talk, concentrating on Warren Buffet’s cry for his too high taxed secretary. One of the guys and myself—we’ll call my friend Jerry—are close in our views. The other guy—we’ll call him Larry— leans more politically left then we two, but all in all, we three lie fairly well in a lump. I think the other two bummed out when I made a joke about our boring white guymiddle-ageness by reminding them that early in the evening we’d spent 20 minutes talking about the ‘70s rock group, Styx. Last Monday, Jerry forwarded an article on the Warren Buffetster to Larry and me. Larry responded first, then I responded soon after, and decided it might make an ok column. What follows is my note to the fellers: Fellers, Yuh read both feeds. All good. Tellin’ you guys that Obama wins by a couple of percentage points–relatively big. Buffet? He's just looking for legacy. He's closer to the end and he's finally figured out that these days you can't get real legacy just cause you're sensationally wealthy. These days you have to have a deep and relevant media presence too. Sure, we three have always known about Warren, but many others are just getting hip to him ‘cause now he's out there, benevolently, and, just ‘cause. (I saw a video clip of him playing ukulele the other day. All old grampaish, looking cute and all sad.) Legacy huntin’ for me explains this whole dork move with his secretary. It's embarrassing for him ‘cause: Either he's underpaying his secretary and then complaining she's taxed more than he is (Aside: Larry, I haven't found evidence she makes $48k a year as you noted, but I did find someone said she makes between $200k and $250k, which Buffet laughed at, and I don't take the information as fact, you can find a needle in a haystack online. Or, he's paying her anywhere up into the 6 figures, which makes her very rich relative to most people. Yet she was invit-
20940
ed, as if she's some hero, to sit in on the State of the Union, which for her is really good, her State of her Union that is. A couple of hunny bucks a year and Wall Street stock up the ying yang? Sign me up, but don’t then with a straight face use me as an example. Buffet is cool, I'd want him as my friend; he's welcome to smoke in my hot dawg propane-heated garage anytime. But regarding this whole secretary thing, he thinks we're all stupid. Obama does, too, on this count at least. Funny, those legacy folks apparently have no idea that when they're gone, few of us will. I can't believe those dudes don't realize that. (I may have mentioned the other night: this year I missed the date of my dad's passing. Went right by.) As Bill Doyle, my boss when I worked at the auction house of Doyle New York, liked to say to old ladies who were having second thoughts about giving their prized possessions to the auction: "Mrs. Davis, we only really leave our children." I don't give a crap how many structures would be named the Dewees Building. When I’m dead, it won't matter. What matters to me, is—me. You're right, Larry—it's legacy those high political dudes are looking for; they know all they need to accumulate legacy points is for people to be watching, even if those who’re watching are loosely engaged at best. Now, having written all of that, I'll work another hour at the desk. Next, I'm going to plow with my tractor, which—if they told you the truth—is what Obama and Buffet and Gingrich and Romney wish they had time to do.

High school donates new boat to Maritime Museum FERRISBURGH – In a festive ceremony at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum last week, the Community High School of Vermont donated a rowing skiff named “Perseverance” to the museum. In a collaborative education adventure this fall, the Community High School students and faculty worked with LCMM boat builders in the museum boat-shop building two of these graceful rowing craft. These boats take four rowers and a coxswain (or captain) to row. They are of Scottish origin and are being built nationally and internationally to be used in youth and adult rowing programs and competitions around the world. The rowing skiff will be used in the museum’s fleet of 12 rowing boats that provide on-water programming and competition for over four hundred youth rowers annually. The “Resilience” will be used to develop on-water programming for the Community High School of Vermont. Erick Tichonuk, co-director of LCMM said, “We are so grateful for this generous donation from the Community High School. You can be assured that this boat will give hundreds of regional youth rowers access to on-water programming and expose them to the wonders of the cultural and natural history of Lake Champlain.”

Kids learn about snow rangers By Lou Varricchio MIDDLEBURY — U.S. Forest Service employees from the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont took to the slopes of local ski areas to share a new Junior Snow Ranger Activity booklet with local school children last week. Colleen Madrid, forest supervisor for the combined Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests, said the activity book is designed for children in elementary grades. “It has 16 pages of funfilled activities that highlight the joy of winter fun,” she said. “It’s designed as a fulfillment program—children receive a card, a patch, and a certificate once they have completed the activities.” Madrid and her coworkers got into Vermont’s high country to experience snow that is more visible on top of and east of the Green Mountains this winter. “The children look at personal safety, wildlife, winter ecology, snow science and recreation using the booklets,” Madrid said. Children also learn about the lives of real snow rangers

“They learn about rescue dogs and the continued importance of wildfire prevention during the winter,” she said. “This was a fun day for children and Forest Service employees,” said Colleen Madrid, Forest Supervisor for the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National
Forests. “What we are really excited about is creating a culture of safety, sparking an interest in natural resources and getting these kids out to enjoy the recreational opportunities in their own back yards.” For students who didn’t make it outdoors for the program introduction, Madrid
said, the books are now available free at Green Mountain National Forest offices in Middlebury, Manchester, Rochester and Rutland. Once completed, children can take their books back to the office, or mail them in, and receive and card, patch, and certificate of completion.

relatively modern revival of ancient Japanese drumming traditions. Taiko became part of Japanese culture around the year 500, and was used by spiritual healers to dispel evil spirits and drive insects from the rice fields. Samurai employed taiko to instill fear in the enemy and develop courage. Over time, an unique choreography and rhythms developed to celebrate festivals or re-creations of historic events. In modern times, taiko has emerged as a performing art. Seiichi Tanaka introduced Taiko to North America over 40 years ago. This grandmaster founded the first Taiko group in North America. His leadership and passion are largely responsible for the popularity of taiko today. Paton began his formal study of taiko in 1984 during a summer apprentice-
ship with Tanaka; he founded the Burlington Taiko Group in 1986 not long after settling in Vermont. Paton is also deeply involved in hand-drumming, something that has become another life-long pursuit for him. He started studying congas in eighth grade when he was in Japan and remembers teaching congas in Lincoln and Bristol in years past. In addition to the Burlington Taiko Group, Paton co-founded and is the artistic director of Compaña Dancers and Drummers (Cuban Haitian), Orchestra Guayoyo (Cuban-Haitian), and was also the co-founder and musical director for Sambatucada (Brazilian). He has played with Kilamanjaro (jazz), Jeh Kulu Dance and Drum Ensemble (West African), San Francisco Taiko Dojo (Japanese), and the Sklar-Grippo Jazz Sextet. (Annie Perkins contributed this story.)

Vermont’s first aviation-pilot’s degree program offered WILLISTON – Vermont Technical College will be "wheels up" for the fall semester with a new four year Bachelor of Science program in Aviation: Professional Pilot Technology. The college has received approval from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and is now accepting applications for fall 2012. Retirees from the aviation industry will surge over the next decade, bringing good job prospects for new graduates. High demand is projected for pilots as well as trained engineers, technicians, and information specialists. In response, Vermont Technical College will offer a comprehensive aviation education that will allow graduates to effectively compete in the market. Flight instruction will be offered by the Vermont Flight Academy. "We have a distinct advantage due to Vermont's topography, quiet air space and the type of varied weather conditions a pilot will face down the line," said President Dr. Phil Conroy. Graduates will be eligible for direct access to jobs and internships at airports and FAA facilities due to Vermont Tech’s certification by the FAA as a School of Priority Status. Only 40 colleges in the U.S. have the status and until now none were in Vermont. Vermont Tech students will also graduate with more FAA certificate ratings than graduates of any other school. "It's a real win in terms of opportunity and long term benefit. The air transportation industry requires thousands of people to maintain, support, and fly their aircraft. We expect to build a program characterized by excellence and a national reputation as well," said Conroy.

College students rally at Vermont State House MONTPELIER – The Vermont State Colleges Student Association held a system wide rally on the steps of the Vermont State House Feb. 7. Students from across the state gathered to speak about higher education funding, and the need for more in regards to the Vermont State Colleges. Student government presidents from Johnson State College, Lyndon State College, Castleton State College, Vermont Technical College and the Community College of Vermont will lead hundreds of students
from their respective institutions in an effort to build visibility and support for the Vermont State Colleges “The Vermont State Colleges serve to educate Vermonters who continue to spend their professional lives in Vermont. It is time for the VSC to take a front seat in higher education in the State of Vermont and be treated with the type of respect that its students, faculty and staff deserve.” said John Kleinhans, chairman of the Vermont State Colleges Student Association, at the rally.

from page 1 of a public-private collaboration between the two transportation agencies, NRG Systems, the Town of Hinesburg, and the citizen group Hinesburg Rides.” Munson said many letters of support for the service were received from residents and businesses located in Burlington, South Burlington, Bristol and Starksboro. The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission, Vermont Business for Social Responsibility, CATMA and Redstone were also vocal supporters of the new bus service. “Hinesburg Rides, the Town of Hinesburg, and NRG Systems have actively advocated for this corridor bus service for several years. Local residents first voted at Town Meeting 2010 to set aside operating funds, renewing support the following year. NRG Systems has committed local match funds to cover capital costs,” according to a joint CCTA/ACTR news release last week. “On behalf of Hinesburg Rides, I would
like to say what a great service our new commuter bus will be to the entire Route 116 corridor,” Munson said. “I’d also like to say thank you to all who have helped support this project throughout the years, and especially NRG Systems. It has been a long time coming and I couldn’t be happier or more excited.” “Commuter bus service is a huge step forward for the Hinesburg Community,” said Hinesburg’s Director of Planning Alex Weinhagen. “The Town of Hinesburg sees bus service not only as necessary transportation infrastructure, but also as an important community asset.” Weinhagen said public hearings about the bus route will be held later this month in South Burlington, Hinesburg, Bristol and Middlebury. Jan Blittersdorf, CEO of NRG Systems, a strong advocate of the bus service, said “We believe that support for public transportation is one of the highest-leverage investments we can make. It is vital for strong community infrastructure, economic development and local jobs, and the environment.”

Letters to the Editor Toys for Tots gives thanks To the editor: On behalf of the Addison County Toys for Tots program, I would like to thank the community for their support during the 2011 toy drive campaign. This year, we serviced 733 children in Addison County. We know from the smiles on the children's faces and from the grateful appreciation of their parents, that the simple gift of a shiny new toy -something that many take for granted- can make a tremendous difference in the life of a child. A new toy sends an important message to a needy
child. It symbolizes hope, that someone cares, and that that child has not been forgotten. Thank you to all of the local businesses, families, and individuals that donated toys, made monetary contributions, and volunteered their time during the 2011 campaign. We live in a very special community and that is reflected in the success of our program, local people helping local families. We look forward to the 2012 campaign.

CVPS rural ‘Cow Power’ seeks new customers RUTLAND – Officials of Central Vermont Public Service, which recently brought its tenth CVPS Cow Power natural methane-energy project online, announced an energy production surplus from its award-winning farm-generation program and put out a call for new customers large and small. CVPS is working to support four new cow power projects across the state, both inside and outside its service territory. Several existing CVPS Cow Power farms are also in the midst of expanding their generation capacity. New construction projects include: A 150kW generator at the Maplehurst Farm in Greensboro; a 475-kW generator at the Four Hills Farm in Bristol; a 200-kW generator at the Riverview Farm in Franklin; a 300-kW generator at Vermont Technical College in Randolph.
“We need new customers to enroll in Cow Power to give these farms the same opportunity as their predecessors to create energy, improve their bottom lines, and deliver the environmental benefits to Vermont that Cow Power can bring,” CVPS spokesman Steve Costello said. “We continue to be successful in helping Vermont farm owners develop clean, renewable energy that adds to their bottom lines.” Since 2005, CVPS Cow Power farms have delivered over 47 million kilowatt-hours of locally produced renewable energy to CVPS customers. When supply outstrips customer demand, CVPS sells the renewable value of the farm generation into the New England market and provides the proceeds to the farm-producers. Those market prices are somewhat unpredictable and somewhat lower, generally, than the customer incentive payments.
Entergy wants Vt. to pay legal fees MONTPELIER — Entergy, the owner of
the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant, wants the State of Vermont to pay $4.6 million in legal fees it incurred to fight off the state's attempt to shutdown the plant. A U.S. district judge ruled last month that Vermont has no legal jurisdiction over the atomic station under the U.S. Atomic Energy Act. Entergy filed a motion in federal court Feb. 3 to be reimbursed in its "safety" lawsuit against the Green Mountain State. In 2007 and 2010, the court ordered Vermont to pay millions of dollars in legal fees it incurred through its expensive lawsuits against various parties. State Attorney Gen. William Sorrell (D) is blamed for the state's recent string of highprofile legal defeats.
Inc., the number of newcomers moving to Vermont is declining. The report, which uses Internal Revenue Service data, shows that in-migration to the Green Mountain State peaked in 2001. During that year leading up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, 17,000 newcomers entered the state to live. The report indicated that, since 2005, the number of Vermont residents moving out each year exceeded the number of new arrivals. The report showed that the personal incomes of Vermont’s newcomers are in decline, too. This trend began recently, in 2010. “Vermont saw a net loss of income for the first time since the IRS began to publish this data. According to the latest report, 13,422 people moved into Vermont in 2010. Their total adjusted gross income was $353.9 million. The same year, 14,071 Vermonters moved away. Their income added up to a bit more: $356.3 million,” the report stated.
Vermont: more moving out than moving in MONTPELIER — According to a summary report released by Jack Hoffman of the Montpelier-based Public Assets Institute,

♦ ATTENTION PET OWNERS ♦ If you are the owner of a cat, dog, horse or some other type of companion animal then we need your help! In April we will be releasing our first “Hooves & Paws Pet Resource Guide” and we are collecting stories from area pet owners about their very special animals. We are hoping that you will take a minute to write to us about how you acquired your special friend and just what this pet means to your life. We even want to know if the story doesn’t have a happy ending because it might help one of our readers to deal with the loss of a very important pet in their lives. We encourage you to send a photo of you and/or your pet to accompany the story. You may mail the story by March 30th to: Addison Eagle Attn: Lou Varricchio 16 Creek Rd., Suite 5A Middlebury, VT 05753 Or email photo and story to lou@addison-eagle.com ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Our Guide will also have articles and information from rescues, shelters, humane societies, vets and organizations that take care of house pets as well as horses. If you are a related business and would like to advertise in this piece please give us a call for more information and rates.
