MONTPELIER — The Vermont Agency of Agriculture and Department of Health want consumers to know that many of Vermont’s fruit and vegetable farms wer e untouched by flood waters from Tropical Storm Ir ene, and V ermonters should still support their local farms and farmers’ markets, officials said Sept. 8. Farms that wer e inundated with flood waters from rivers and str eams have been informed of the Food a nd D rug Administration (FDA) guidance that crops in which the edible portion has come in contact with flood waters are considered to be adulterated. These cr ops ar e not to be offered for sale or consumed. Vermont farmers are aware that if these adulterated pr oducts reach the marketplace they could be subject to regulatory action from the FDA or the State of Vermont. “We are confident in our farmer ’s ability to make informed decisions that will not threaten their business or the health of their community ,” said Agriculture Secr etary Chuck Ross. “If you have questions about any food you buy locally , talk with the farmer or the market. This is another advantage of doing business with local farmers.” “Buying and eating fresh local fr uit and vegetables that wer en’t touched by flooding is a healthy action that I encourage V ermonters to take now more than ever,” said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD. There are many ways to support Vermont farmers: •Shop at your local farmers’ market and farm stand. •Continue to support your CSA farm during this time of need. see VERMONT FOOD, page 12

Sanders spends Labor Day eve in Middlebury Senator outlines jobs plan
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
MIDDLEBURY — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) spent his Labor Day evening at a union rally here at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. Three days befor e Pr esident Barack Obama detailed h is j obs p lan on n ational t elevision, Sanders announced his own jobs plan at the Sept. 5 union event, which was sponsored by the Vermont Workers’ Center , Vermont AFLCIO, V ermont-National Education Association, and V ermont State Employees Association. On Sept. 7, Sanders of ficially r eleased his jobs plan to the media, calling for putting Americans back to work thr ough a series of bold measur es that include r ebuilding the country’s crumbling infrastructure. As part of a four-point plan to jumpstart the economy, Sanders also said the federal government should do mor e to help cash-strapped states and local governments that have been
forced to furlough teachers, firefighters, police officers and other workers. He advocated transforming our ener gy system with job-cr eating investments in r enewable and sustainable energy sources. And he called on Congre ss to reconsider so-called free-trade policies that have decimated manufacturing in the United States. “While everyone understands that we have got to reduce the deficit, the number one challenge America faces right now is a jobs crisis,” Sanders said, noting that 25 millionAmericans, 16 percent of the workforce, are today either unemployed or underemployed. “Creating the millions of new jobs that we desperately need is not only vitally important to our economy but will be the means by which we reduce the deficit over the long term.” The centerpiece of Sanders’ plan for putting millions of Americans back to work is his call for infrastructure investment. see SANDERS, page 11

Hunters looking forward to deer season MONTPELIER — Hunters are enthusiastic about V ermont’s upcoming Oct. 1-23 and Dec. 3-1 1 ar chery deer hunting season, accor ding to the V ermont Fish and Wildlife Department. New in 2011, a hunter may take up to three deer in Vermont’s archery season with three ar chery licenses. No more than one of the deer taken during archery season may be a legal buck. No antlerless deer may be taken in W ildlife Management Unit (WMU) E, wher e antlerless deer hunting is prohibited in 2011. In Vermont a hunter may take up to three deer in a calendar year in any combination of seasons (Ar chery, Youth Weekend, November Rifle Season, December Muzzleloader). Of these, only two may be legal bucks, and only one buck may be taken in each season. A “legal buck” is a deer with at least one antler having two or mor e point s one inch or longer. All three deer in the annual bag limit may be antlerless deer. In or der to pur chase an archery license, the hunter must show a certificate of
satisfactorily completing a bow hunter education course, or show a pr evious or curr ent bow hunting license from any state or Canadian p rovince, o r s ign an af fidavit that they have previously held an ar chery license. Hunters must have a standard h unting l icense i n or der to pur chase an add-on archery deer hunting license, except that nonr esidents may pur chase an "archery only deer license" costing just $75. Shooting hours ar e onehalf h our b efore s unrise t o one-half hour after sunset. Tree stands and gr ound blinds may only be built or used if the hunter has landowner permission. This includes portable as well as permanent stands and blinds. A hunter constr ucting or using a stand or blind must permanently mark his or her name and addr ess on it so that it may be c onveniently and easily r ead. Landowners ar e exempted from this requirement. On Vermont State Wildlife Management Areas, it is illegal to use nails, bolts or screws, including scr ew-in
climbing steps, or wir e, chain or other material that penetrates through the bark. Because additional r estrictions apply, hunters are urged to read the entire law governing the use of stands and blinds on page 24 of the “2011 V ermont Guide to Hunting, Fishing & T rapping,” which is available online and wher e licenses ar e sold. Hunters who are planning their first V ermont ar chery deer hunting trip or who are looking for new hunting areas should get a copy of two publications, both available on Fish & Wildlife’s website (vtfishandwildlife.com) under Hunting & Trapping and then “Big Game.” The 2010 White-tailed Deer Harvest Report, gives the number of deer taken in each town in ar chery, rifle and muzzleloader deer hunting seasons. V ermont’s Archery Deer Regulations 2011, pr ovides the ar chery season rules. Vermont hunting and archery licenses may be purchased on Fish and Wildlife’s website (vtfishandwildlife.com).

restaurants and r esorts — are open for business and that, without exception, our foliage season is going to be spectacular,” said Steve Cook, deputy commissioner of tourism. “We want people to know that Vermont is open for business, we ar e r eady to welcome visitors for our spectacular fall foliage, and there are a ton of memorable things to do and see her e in the Gr een Mountain State,” said Vicky Tebbetts, vice president of the V ermont
Chamber of Commerce. The t ask f orce e xpects t o launch the first element of its effort Friday and sustain the campaign thr ough foliage season. For example, in addition to traditional media, and given the significant r ole that social media and user -generated content have played in the r esponse to Irene, this task force will make extensive and innovative use of grassr oots social media outlets that will allow Vermonters and visitors alike to actively participate in the campaign.

T
here are few words that can console those who experienced the devastation of the tropical storm remnants of Hurricane Irene Aug. 28 in Vermont. While many of us expect government and emergency services to be ther e for us in a time of crisis, we don’t have to wait to start r ebuilding our shatter ed communities. The path to r econstruction begins with you and me. Take a look at Brandon, a community seriously damaged by flash flooding of the Neshobe River. Don’t think that Brandon r esidents ar e going to walk through the next few months in a fog of despair and hopelessness. Its residents are too tough, too creative not to make something better out of being dealt a very bad hand. Historic downtown Brandon took the brunt of the Aug. 28 flooding. And it is very likely that many of its iconic buildings, such as the Briggs Carriage House, may have to be demolished because they are structurally unsafe. That’s why it was so inspiring to me to see Brandonites take char ge of the fate dealt them by a cold, cruel cosmos. A concert on the Brandon Gr een held Sept. 2—sponsored by Jim Leary, Esq., and Nancy Leary Design—introduced one way that will help rebuild Brandon quickly. It’s called the Brand-Aid Fund. The Brandon Area Chamber of Commerce established the Brand-Aid Fund to help members of the local business community r ebuild shatter ed lives and commerce. Since small businesses are the engines of small towns like Brandon, it
makes perfect sense to start close to home—in the vital downtown area. The intent of Brandon’s recovery fund, according to the Learys, is to assist businesses trying to r eopen after the Ir ene flood. It took a lot of courage for the Learys to be forthcoming in a time of crisis; at the time of this writing, the couple’s own house is curr ently surr ounded by water . The pair have been getting to and fr om their Brandon house via canoe, then bicycling into town to help with the downtown cleanup. So, how can we help? Well, every penny donated to Brand-Aid will be disbursed to local people, according to Leary. To donate online, see: http://brandon.org/about/brand-aidfund-donate-now/. The Vermont Chapter of the Red Cr oss and the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund need funds, too. Also, to volunteer close to home, check out http://vtresponse.wordpress.com. Also, check out “I am Vermont Strong”, a rapidly gr owing Facebook page cr eated by a young Rutland resident. T-shirts and other items sold here will help rebuild the Rutland area. Let’s step up and help our V ermont neighbors. W e can r ebuild a better , stronger V ermont. Thr ough adversity comes new strength and vision. Back in 1901, British editor and journalist John Churton Collins said, “In pro sperity, our friends know us; in adversity , we know our friends.” His word s have special meaning now. Lou Varricchio
Post-flood hazards rarely linked to increase in illness MONTPELIER — V ermont Department of Health officials said Sept. 12 that they have not seen an increase in gastr ointestinal or respiratory illnesses since Tropical Storm Irene hit Vermont on Aug. 28. “We do anticipate ther e will be sporadic or individual cases of respiratory and
gastrointestinal illness, but we rar ely see outbr eaks of these types of illnesses in the wake of flooding in the United States,” said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD. Typically in the United States, Dr. Chen said, about half of the hazar ds after a flood ar e r elated to injuries rather than illness , such as

The K-12 university notion
ne place where the over used marketing phrase “back by popular demand” is literally true is in the reprinting, after 125 years, of the McGuffey’s Eclectic Readers series. The new editions are being bought primarily by homeschoolers, who don’t like the quality of r eading instr uction in the public schools. McGuffey’s deliver ed step-by-step literacy—letter recognition, pr onunciation, short sentences, longer ones—in a framework which, in the backgr ound, simultaneously taught young preliterates the basics of civil responsibility and behavior. Similarly back in print after a near 30-year hiatus is the Dick and Jane basal r eader series, new to the public classr ooms when your Humble Scribe first enter ed them, using a full-wor d-recognition (as opposed to phonics) method which came into disfavor during the 1970s. My g eneration d idn’t n eed t o u se t hem much; we had all been pr e-K’d by our parents on such children’s books as “Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain” and arrived in school maybe as little semi-savages, but also as semi-literate ones. This is also similar for basic math. In a nearly-full 36 nailed-to-the-floor in seatand-desk rows classroom, I can’t remember a classmate who hadn’t arrived knowing all 36 letters and numbers and the beginnings of how to use them. Once we arrived, our teachers did the est. r That isn’t the case today. No one, not even the pedagogical experts, recognize why a public education system which once functioned so well (and so fr ugally, to boot) now doesn’t. When your Humble Scribe was in grade school, the NAEP achievement tests and the “proficiency” label wer e still decades into the future, but weren’t needed. Instead, every school had end-of-year grade-promotion t ests a nd a ny o f u s w ho didn’t pass wouldn’t be. I recall but one instance of the disgrace of being “left back” in those years, and that miscreant re-joined us halfway through the next grade, somehow. Today, national averages show that about 2/3 of our descendants don’t make “pr ofi-
cient” but make pr omotion anyway, and the average federal Grade 4 and 8 r eading and math test scor es are in t he l ow 2 00s o ut o f 5 00, which explains why all states (except Nebraska) have pur chased, deployed and report the results of such easier tests as (in V ermont) NSRE, NECAP , and a new one yet to be selected. These preferred tests seem to show not 2/3 non-pr oficiency but 2/3 proficiency results. But the stats, like the experts, don’t answer the “why” question. Set aside the SWWL question—in my grade-school days—students who wouldn’t learn wouldn’t have been allowed to stay for long in our classrooms; therefore such types were never there to disrupt the rest of us. Set aside the teacher -competency question because the early grades competencies are so easy even par ents can teach them— even if not all of us can follow up with later-grade subjunctive mood or pr e-calculus explanations. What’s left is that modern educators have chosen to r everse the McGuf fey’s and Dick and Jane model which put major emphasis on l iteracy a nd n umeracy a nd o nly m inor emphasis on socialization expectations. In the upper south r egion of the U.S., as well as elsewhere across the country, public schools are recruiting volunteer adults, all of whom in earlier decades became fairly pr oficient in math and reading. These folks are needed to tutor the 2/3 of grade schoolers who (in your Humble Scribe’s opinion) now aren’t proficient. The K-12 schools are emphatically not recruiting non-volunteers—parents or taxpayers—who wish to sit in on a class to see and hear what’s actually being taught. Such intrusions, once accepted although rar e, ar e now mostly prohibited. Even so, the prevalent instruction emphasis can be gauged fr om three sources: first, of course, the pr oven inability of most grade-schoolers to handle basic reading and math, as shown by achievement tests; second, the classr oom-activity accounts brought home from school by students; and third, the inevitable reaction, exemplified by the fairly speedy adoption of a new set of see MARTIN HARRIS, page 13

Group helps Addison County ‘go solar’ MIDDLEBURY — In just five weeks since the pr ogram launched, Solar Addison County has already doubled the number of homes with solar hot water in the county . Before the pr ogram launched, ther e were just 17 systems in place. As of the end of August, the pr ogram has alr eady helped 17 new families go solar. This program is conducted by VPIRG, the state’s largest consumer and envir onmental pr otection or ganization in partnership with Sunwar d, a V ergennes-based solar hot water system manufacturer. Solar Addison County organizes folks who have wanted to go solar , but needed help figuring out the vendors, equipment, financing and permitting. This pr ogram cr eates a volume of customers, in close pr oximity that pr ovides r eal ef ficiencies for the installers to bunch their site visits and installations. This volume and efficiency translates into an 18 percent discount. With the discounted price, government incentives and discounted financing—homeowners ar e now able to heat their water with the sun for a low monthly payment that costs about the same as what they’re paying now in expensive electricity or dirty fossil fuels. Additionally, they will be insulated from future energy rate hikes. In the previous decade, there had been just 13 solar hot water installations. Over the course of four months, 80 families have gone solar through the Montpelier program.

At that time produces cows that are healthier with better muscle tone.
Their ef forts have paid of f. The animals stay in the herd longer and milk quality and production is high. They have earned numerous milk quality awar ds fr om Horizon Organic, where they ship their milk. "It is apparent that the DeVoses pay close attention to detail," says their milk inspector Dave Heitkamp of Dairy Marketing Services, who nominated the farm for this awar d. "This is exhibited by the quality of milk being pr oduced, the condition in which they keep their cows and facilities as well as their desire to be pr ofitable Vermont dairy farmers. They achieve this because they have put best management practices to use on their farm." They milk their cows on a twice-daily milking schedule in a double-eight parallel parlor in the months the cows graze. In winter they increase that to three times daily. "We tend to calve mor e thr ough fall and the early winter months," JD DeV os explains. "With lots of fresh cows, it pays to go to thr ee times a day for milking." Their curr ent rolling herd average is about 18,000 pounds with 4 per cent butterfat and 3.18 per cent protein. They breed all their cows artificially with a Holstein cleanup bull for the low gr oup. Breeding-age heifers are bred to high quality registered Jersey bulls to prevent calving problems. "We're shooting to fr eshen at 22 months," he continues, "with a calving interval of 13.9 months." Calves ar e raised in individual pens and fed cow's milk because no certified or ganic milk r eplacer is available commer cially. Once weaned at three to five months of age, they ar e moved to bedded pack in the heifer/dry cow barn. At six months old, they are pu in outdoor freestalls with easy access to pasture. "The heifers ar e just learning to graze," Cheryl DeVos points out. "This allows us to check on them to make sure they are getting off to the best possible start." The Addison County farmers gr ow all their own feed with 100 acr es of or ganic corn, averaging 15 tons of silage per acr e, and 550 acr es of or ganic hay, averaging 3.5 tons of haylage per acr e. T o supplement
what the cows eat on pastur e, the animals are fed a total mixed ration of corn silage, haylage and grain. Commitment to pr otecting land thr ough sound conservation practices also factors into the evaluation process for selecting the Vermont Dairy Farm of the Year. In recent years the DeVoses have worked closely with the U.S. Department ofAgriculture (USDA) Natural Resour ces Conservation Service (NRCS) and the V ermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets to develop a viable conservation plan for their two farms. In addition to putting in laneways and new water systems, they set up a 50-foot stream buffer zone along Lewis Creek, which bisects their pr operty, to keep cows--and manure--out of the waterway that feeds into Lake Champlain. Their plan also requires them to take some of their r egularly flooded land out of pr oduction and plant tr ees in wetter ar eas to protect sensitive land and create more habitat for wildlife. Enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, administered by USDA's Farm ServiceAgency, and the NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program, made the impr ovements cost-effective as these pr ograms pr ovide up to 90 percent cost-share assistance. In 2004 the family conserved their land through the Vermont Land Trust, which not only will ensure that the land remains open but will pr otect the riparian ar eas along Lewis Creek as well as the pro perty's unique features including a valley clay plain forest. The latter is an uncommon natural community found only on clay soils in the Champlain Valley. For their strong commitment to environmental stewardship, they were name the Otter Creek Conservation Farmer of the Year in 2010. When asked what his secr et to success is, J.D. ponders for a moment before replying. "Farming is mor e than a business. It's a cliché to say that it's a livelihood. It's never far away from your mind. "You need to keep your eyes open," he says, "and look at things with a different eye to make the right decisions for your farm."

Tips for growing bluestars in Vermont By Dr. Leonard Perry
UVM Extension Service While some gardeners may plant bluestars for their blue flowers in early summer, this is one of those rare perennials with thr ee seasons of interest. Once planted, this low maintenance plant needs little attention except to admire its beauty. Bluestars ( Amsonia), native to the south and central U.S, is named for an 18th century V irginia physician and scientific traveler in America, Dr . Charles Amson. So it is appr opriate for native and naturalistic meadow plantings, as well as massed in bor ders or where you want a touch of blue. The blue flowers ar e small (about 1/2-inch wide) and, a s t he n ame i ndicates, star-shaped. They are borne
Amsonia — 'Blue Ice'
in clusters (panicles) at stem ends, in some cases almost covering the plant for about one month in early summer in the north, late spring farther south. This is one of those perennials some refer to as an “instant shr ub.” Arising fr om the gr ound in spring, by summer it cr eates an upright, mounded shrub effect from 2 to 4 feet tall, depending on the species and growing conditions. The long, narr ow fr uit pods (follicles) after bloom also are very attractive. It is one of the few per ennials with very nice fall color—a soft golden yellow. A member of the Dogbane family, related to the per ennial periwinkle ( Vinca) as well as the tr opical frangipani ( Plumeria), bluestars
have a milky sap making them resistant to feeding by deer, other mammals, slugs and snails. Bluestars r equire some cutting back in fall or early spring to a few inches above the ground. Full sun is needed for best growth and if too much fertility , or in too much shade, plants can become leggy . If this is the case, either stake or cut back about half-way after flowering. If in a long season and hot climate, you can cut back then to about 10 inches high. Being tolerant of many conditions, bluestars are low maintenance. Keep any of the bluestars well-water ed for the first season after planting. Once established they can tolerate some drought. Mulching will help conserve soil moisture.
86077
Fertilize lightly, if at all, to avoid leggy gr owth. A dressing of compost ar ound plants in spring may be all this is required. The Downy bluestar ( A. ciliata) and the Ozark bluestar ( A. hubrichtii ) can be found naturally and gr ow well in drier sites. There are about 20 species, but only a handful are available at garden centers and nurseries. The Ozark bluestar, sometimes called Arkansas or threadleaf bluestar, was chosen by pr ofessionals in the Perennial Plant Association as Per ennial of the Year for 2011. Like most bluestars the leaves ar e longer than wide, but the leaves of this species ar e quite narr ow. One common name indicates its origin, found in 1942 in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas by naturalist Leslie Hubricht. It gr ows best i n U SDA z ones 6 t o 8 , sometimes into zone 5. While it can reach 3 feet high and wide in warmer climates, it may be less r obust in cooler climates. The most common bluestar is pr obably the W illow, the species named for German herbalist J.T. Tabernaemontanus. While most bluestars only may gr ow into zone 5, this one is har dy in zones 3 through 9, and is found in moist woodlands. Its flowers ar e slate blue and the leaves wider than other species. Its fr uit pods ar e held upright, unlike some other species whose pods hang down. Eastern bluestar, a variety (salicifolia) of the Willow, has leaves five to 10 times as long as wide, like willow leaves (the species name is similar to the scientific name for willow). Trials of several in this genus at the Chicago Botanic Gar den (zone 5) several years ago r esulted in good ratings for most.

Mt. Abe football looks to compete Groff makes U.S. Olympic team
By Bob Chatfield
bbchatfield845@gmail.com
MIDDLEBURY — In 2009, a decline in player numbers in the overall pr ogram had Middlebury Union High football moving fr om Division I to Division II. In the following two years , the MUHS Tigers saw those numbers start coming back up. They posted an overall mark of 17-4 and made the Division II playof fs both years including visiting the title game last season. All that has Middlebury joining rivals Mount Mansfield Union, Champlain V alley Union and Colchester High in moving into an expanded 14team Division I in 2011. “My feeling at the time was that we would be in Division II for two years. That with the numbers where they were that was were we needed to be for safety reasons, injuries,” said Head Coach Dennis Smith. “Now with the numbers back up I’m very comfortable playing back in Division I.” The T igers r eturn a veteran senior group lead by the likes of Marshall Hastings, Austin Quesnel, Patrick Foley and Joey Zeno. That gr oup will form the nucleus for a team that has eight players that have seen their share of time starting on both sides of the ball. “A lot of my seniors that I have now were with me as sophomores when we didn’t really have a junior varsity team,” said Smith. “If they didn’t play in the varsity game then they did play in t he j .v. g ame,” a ccording t o S mith. “You go down the list and this whole group has played a big part in our being were we are right now,” Middlebury has two pr eseason tests the last coming with a Fair Haven Union High School football team that is regarded as a power in Division II this coming season. Smith was pleased with the way his

team came through the scrimmage with the slators, noting his first team offense showed the ability to make adjustments on the fly. Defensively, he was pleased with their effort noting that they tried different things in getting r eady to play teams in Division I that will play the spread offense. The Tiger coach admits that he goes into this season not sure what to expect. “Three weeks fr om now I’ll have a better idea, but we haven’t seen these teams for two years now and I don’t know what they have r eturning fr om last year ,” said Smith. “I know that Hartford won the Division I title last year and that Rutland and Essex are al-
ways tough. The thing is that with the new schedule you could play what looks like the toughest slate, but it all depends on who is up and who is down this year.” Smith points to staying healthy as being a big key for this group. While, the Tiger coach has a veteran core that will form the lion share of the starting line-up, the Tigers get young in a hurry after that with a gro up of juniors and sophomores that ar e untested at the varsity level. The T igers will get an early test of how they match up in the Division against host Division I power Essex High School.

MIDDLEBURY — Former M iddlebury C ollege s wimmer Sarah Groff ’04 has earned a spot on the 2012 United States Olympic Triathlon Team. Groff earned the right by being the secondAmerican finisher (seventh overall) at the recently held World Championship Series in London. According to USA Triathlon’s 2012 Olympic qualification criteria, the two highest-placing eligible American athletes could automatically qualify for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team by placing among the top nine finishers in London. The race was held on the same course pr oposed for use at next year ’s Games. After whittling the lead down to just 25 seconds after six laps of the bike, the chase pack merged with the leaders on the seventh and final lap to send nearly 60 athletes into the r unning portion of the race together . Teammate Gwen Jorgensen exited transition in the back third of that group, but moved her way up to sixth place midway through the run. Jorgensen and Groff were running third and fourth, r espectively, with 2.5k to go, and Jor gensen surged to grab second with a 33:43 closing 10k run. Groff crossed the line in seventh 17 seconds later joining Jorgensen on the U.S. roster for 2012. After dealing with injuries for much of last season, Groff, 29, continued a breakthrough season Saturday with a third top-seven finish on the 2011 WCS circuit. “I wasn’t ready to go (to the Olympics) in 2008, I don’t think, but I was definitely ready this time around,” Groff said. “The past three years have been really tough, lots of ups and downs, so it’s been a long o r ad, and I’m really, really pleased to be there.” “I think the USA has an awesome qualification pro cess,” said Jorgensen. “Sarah Groff and I can now spend the next year training, planning and getting it right so we can peak at the Olympics.” Groff moves to sixth in the World Championship Series rankings, followed by Bennett in seventh. Jorgensen, who earned a $13,000 payday for her r unner-up showing, jumps to 21st following just the second-ever podium finish for an American woman in the thr ee-year-old WCS. Groff was thir d in Kitzbühel on June 19 for the first-ever podium for a U.S. woman. The seven-race WCS is a key pr oving ground for top U.S. triathletes aiming for a spot on the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team. In addition to racing for WCS points, athletes also will be looking to earn points towar d securing a spot for their country at the 2012 Olympic Triathlon in London.

This recognition has been an annual promotion initiated by the National Safety Council and has been proclaimed as such by each sitting U.S. President since Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the first document. Over the years, the development and dissemination of National Farm Safety & Health Week materials has shifted to the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS). NECAS is the agricultural partner for NSC and has been serving the agricultural family and business community since 1997. As we recognize National Farm Safety & Health Week this September, please join us in promoting safe and healthy practices on our farms and ranches across the U.S. and in our neighboring countries as producers enter the harvest season. Services - Like any business, agriculture can be financially set back by safety violations, injuries, illnesses and deaths. NECAS offers safety education and proactive programs (listed above) to help prevent incidents that affect your agribusiness safety and welfare. NECAS has also recently developed safety programs specific to the wine production industry.

Lea has been described as “a man in the woods with his head full of books, and a man in books with his head full of woods.” Renowned as a pr ose writer as well as poet, he has also published a novel and two books of essays that combine the pr ecision of an active naturalist and ecologist with the er udition of a multilingual professor of literature. His stories, poems, essays and criticism have appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New Republic, The New York
Times, Sports Illustrated, Gray’s Sporting Journal, and many other periodicals, as well as in more than forty anthologies. Lea co-founded the literary quarterly New England Review in 1977, oversaw its move to the Bread Loaf Writers Confer ence at Middlebury College, and edited this esteemed journal until 1989. His poetry collections have earned special critical acclaim, with “Pursuit of a Wound” (2000) named one of thr ee finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. His preceding volume, “T o the Bone: New and Selected Poems,” was co-winner of the 1998 Poets’ Prize, one of the nation’s highest honors for a single collection of poems. Lea has r eceived fellowships fr om the Rockefeller , Fulbright, and Guggenheim Foundations, and has taught at Dartmouth, Yale, W esleyan, Vermont and Middlebury Colleges as well as at Franklin College in Switzerland and the National Hungarian University in Budapest. Lea has also been very active for the past quarter century in land conservation and the pr omotion of literacy. (www.sydneylea.net ) The Advisory Committee found Sydney Lea’s poetry to be virtuosic in texture and
form, yet likely to be engaging to a diversity of r eaders and listeners because of the work’s dramatic intensity , narrative momentum, and musicality, and because of this poet’s extraor dinarily evocative descriptions of northern New England’s landscapes, animal and plant life, and the seasonal panorama. Thr ough all of his books, Lea has paid particular attention to the stories of generations living alongside one another in north-country villages, including the interactions of “old-timers” and r elative newcomers. He continues the tradition of Vermont poets who are both singular — one of a kind — and broadly accessible. The Vermont P oet L aureate is a person who is a resident of Vermont; whose poetry manifests a high degree of excellence; who has pr oduced a critically acclaimed body of work; and who has a long association with Vermont. The poet being nominated must agr ee to participate from time to time in of ficial ceremonies and r eadings at the V ermont State House and other locations. The poet selected r eceives an honorarium of $1,000 pr ovided by the V ermont Arts Council.

Sanders from page 1 “Everyone in Vermont and across the country understands that we can put millions of Americans back to work rebuilding the nation's bridges, r oads, schools, dams, culverts, rail systems and public transportation, among other vital needs,” Sanders said. “We also need to build new infrastructure: every community in the nation needs high speed Internet access, most need new water or sewage plants, and our antiquated electric grid needs to be r edesigned and rebuilt.” Other critical elements of a successful jobs plan would
transform ener gy systems, reform trade policies and help states and local governments. “We must transform our energy system away fr om fossil fuel and into energ y efficiency and sustainable energy. A significant number of jobs can be cr eated thr ough weatherization, and the manufacturing of Americanmade wind turbines, solar panels, and heat pumps,” Sanders said. “We must also make fundamental changes in our trade p olicy so that we r ebuild our manufacturing sector. Corporate America must invest in the United States and stop the outsourcing of jobs to China, V ietnam, and other low-wage
countries.” Under curr ent tax laws, the United States r ewards companies that move manufacturing jobs overseas. “If we ended the absur dity of providing tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, the Joint Tax Committee has estimated that we could raise mor e than $582 billion in r evenue over the next 10 years.” As the president and Congress r efocus on jobs, Sanders said it also is critically important that a new congressional super committee assigned to cut the deficit by $1.5 trillion eliminate those tax br eaks and other tax loopholes for the wealthy and large corporations.

Shortly after Pr esident Obama made his job-creation speech to the nation Sept. 8, Sanders issued a statement that r ead, in part, “The question that I will be studying in the coming days is whether the pr esident’s plan goes far enough to address the jobs crisis, and whether ther e is too much emphasis on tax br eaks as opposed to dir ect investment. I also want to take a hard look at what the president means when he talks about ‘r eforming’ Medicar e and Medicaid and what those ‘reforms’ mean to senior citizens and working families.”

Martin Harris from page 4 Common Core (reading and math, primarily) Standards by a growing majority of States. We don’t yet know , but can guess from the r ecent Maryland experience, that the pro forma adoption of CCS doesn’t necessarily mean the actual r eturn of basic literacy and numeracy instr uction to top priority in the contemporary classroom. In earlier-column quotes from a typical Vermont School Superintendent, you can see the reasons why (not): W illiam Mathis wr ote of “civic virtue,”“preservation of a democratic government,” and, for good measur e, “the shy child who bloomed,” as the teaching objectives of grade schools. All such historically-complex and elevated subjects and motives militate against the mere teaching of the basal level of r eading and m ath s o s imple ev en p arents c an b e drafted to tutor in it. Now, time constraints keep grade 4 kids from learning that content, because they’re subjected to teacher discourses on governance, ecology , cultural sensitivity, or ‘social-justice’ content which, in the old days of all-students-Pr oficient, weren’t considered appropriate subject matter until college, for the same maturity-ofunderstanding reasons that voting isn’t considered appropriate until college-age.
Because most grade school educators find the basics less fun than the advanced (all adults do) they now deplore the parental demand-for-basics as ‘teaching to the test.’ Thanks to the electr onic magic of the W eb, you can see the test they don’t want to teach to: on the edu.gov website, the NAEP page offers a short publication entitled “NAEP Grade 4 Mathematics/Reading Sample Questions.” For math, students are asked to do a clock calculation to see what time it is 2 and 3/4 hours after 10.30, and to add and subtract some 2- and 3-digit numbers. Those ar e the harder questions. For r eading, students ar e asked to r ead about bees, and then ar e asked what the writer wr ote about them. Pr etty basic, bu t that’s what grade school education was (and should be) all about. It wasn’t (and shouldn’t be) about the internally-contradictory notion of a K-12 university. For the 8th grade teacher who enthuses (as does your Humble Scribe) over the historic sequence of events from the English Revolution of the 1600s to the American Revolution of the 1700s, it might be an extra-cr edit tr eat for teachers and alr eady-Proficient-in-reading-andmath students, but not for those who aren’t. Former V ermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
The Middlebury Union High School and Mount Abraham Union High School football teams met in a preseason scrimmage last week. For the third year in a row, the two rivals capped off the first week of practice meeting in Middlebury. It gave players from both teams someone else to look at across the line of scrimmage.
