Vermont is healthiest U.S. state, with two caveats By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — The news looks terrific for Vermont as a healthy place to live. According to the just released United Health Foundation’s 2012 America’s Health Rankings, Vermont is the nation’s healthiest state. But are the United Health rankings something to brag about? Sure, but buried within the rankings is also something dark: Vermont has a higher rate of cancer deaths than most other states and binge drinking is above the national average. More about these issues later. For the sixth year in a row, United Health Foundation found Vermont to be the nation’s healthiest state. Hawaii is ranked second, followed by New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Minnesota. See HEALTHY VERMONT, page 6
HALF-STAFF — Flags around the State of Vermont flew at half-staff on Dec. 4 in memory of Rep. Greg Clark (R). Clark died Nov. 3. Clark’s funeral service was held at the Vergennes Congregational Church during the early afternoon. This flag, flown in front of Dock Doctors on U.S. Route 7 in Ferrisburgh, was among many flags, at local private residences and businesses, that bid farewell to the respected Addison County legislator.

MIDDLEBURY — For Vermont’s future firefighters, education and hands-on training make the difference. For many decades, Vermont teenage fire cadets trained by the Vermont State Firefighters' Association at its site in Pittsford. The cadet program, which includes an intensive week of study and field work, takes place during the first week of July. Now organizers of the Vermont Fire Cadet Academy have selected Vermont Technical College as the new location for the 2013 program. According to Frank Buck, who is
both president of the VSFA and director of the Fire Cadet Academy, the organization is committed to making the academy available to cadets from throughout the state. “The facilities available this summer limit attendance to 48 cadets. In making final selections, factors such as age, the location of the cadet's sponsoring department, number of other applicants from the same area, present involvement in a cadet program and/or current participation with a fire department will be factors considered. Current cadet or parent membership in VSFA is not required, but will be considered,” he said. See ACADEMY, page 11

MONTPELIER — There’s nothing like a little lead poisoning to ruin the holiday spirit. But this time of year doesn’t have to be wrought with danger, as long as consumers know what to look for.

vironmental health advocate, said the study was conducted by a team of researchers who test various toys for hazards such as choking, toxic chemical content and loud noise levels. VPIRG also works to strengthen regulations on toy manufacturers, particularly where toxins are concerned. “There are some regulations for toys on the federal level, but there is a need for broader regulations of these things,” Hierl said. “These are things that adults shouldn’t be exposed to, either.” Chemicals like lead, phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA) can’t be seen, but they can cause lasting damage, especially on a developing child’s body. “We’ve tackled some of the chemicals, but there are more than 84,000 chemicals on the market today, so it’s really hard to do them all one at a time,” Hierl said. “Most of the ones we focus on are the chemicals of concern that bioaccumulate, so they are persistent in the environment and they stick around in our bodies.” Hierl said that the chemicals aren’t put in toys with the intent of harming children, but that doesn’t make them any safer. For example, lead is cheap
and abundant, and is often used in products such as toys, jewelry, paint, hair conditioner and air fresheners. Exposure to lead has been linked to health problems that include learning disabilities, lack of muscular coordination, decreased fertility and memory and concentration problems. Phthalates are used to soften plastics and increase their flexibility and can be found in products like clothing, cosmetics, perfumes, food packaging and toys. They are classified as endocrine disruptors and have been linked to health issues that include birth defects, reproductive damage, genital abnormalities in young boys, and decreased sperm mobility and concentration in men. BPA is a common additive in some plastics that is actually a synthetic estrogen that was developed as a pregnancy aid. BPA can be found in plastics such as baby bottles, water bottles and plastic food containers and has been linked to health problems including reproductive disorders, cancer, increased health effects associated with aging and developmental and behavioral issues. “It really is one of these things where the more you
learn the scarier it is,” Hierl said. Aside from doing research, one thing consumers can do to protect themselves and their families is look at the recycle symbols on a product before purchasing it. A recycle symbol that contains the number three, six or seven should be avoided because it might contain chemicals that have nasty side effects. Potential dangers in toys aren’t just caused by toxins, though, and there are other things that parents can look for to protect their children. Toys that make noise can cause hearing damage in children. “If it sounds like it’s too loud, it probably is,” Hierl said. “If it’s loud to you it probably isn’t good for your kid to be listening to.” Toys with small parts can also create a choking hazard, especially in young children. Hierl said an easy way to avoid buying something that could obstruct a child’s airway is to refrain from buying toys that contain loose parts that can easily fit into a toilet paper tube. Little magnets, plastic game pieces and marbles should all be avoided for children under the age of three.

Company to expand solar power in Addison Co. by 50 percent newmarketpress@denpubs.com FERRISBURGH — A new financial and installation effort by a solar energy initiative, is off and running to get more Addison County homeowners installing solar-electric panels in the next few months. Dubbed “1,000 Panels in 100 Days”, Waterburybased SunCommon employees hope to increase the number of solar homes in the county by 50 percent in just three months. Bob McNary of Ferrisburgh was first in line for the challenge, installing a new 24panel solar system at his home on Route 7. Mounted on free-standing poles, the panels will provide all of the electricity McNary uses at his home, antique store, and driving range. McNary said is pleased with his new system, installed by SunCommon. “The no money down twenty year lease program offered by SunCommon is a nobrainer. I've been waiting for this type of financial package to surface for a long time. Vermont suffers the third highest electric rates in the lower 48 states. I never have to worry about my electric rates increasing because the sun is a free and ample commodity.” Aiding SunCommon in its new push for solar is the changing economics of the industry. Traditionally viewed as too expensive, panel prices have dropped by 80 percent since 2007, according to the Department of Energy. Federal, state, and utility incentives cover more than 40 percent of the cost of a system, dropping the cost down more. “We use SunPower panels, a U.S. company, formed about 30 years ago by a Stanford University professor. The company is America’s leading supplier of residential solar equipment today,” Duane Peterson, co-president of SunCommon, told members of the local news media in October. Peterson said his company is committed to using U.S.- and Vermont-made materials and labor.
Dan Conant, a “solar organizer” with SunCommon, said, “At SunCommon, we're committed to helping Vermonters make the switch to solar power without upfront cost and for no more than a homeowner is currently spending monthly on utility power. We were thrilled to work with Bob and are looking forward to working with many more Addison County homeowners to help meet this 100-day challenge.” Based on a series of educational events the company has jointly hosted with energy committees around the county, committee leaders are convinced that there will be a surge of solar this year. Henry Wilmer, the energy coordinator in Lincoln said, “When we put on an educational seminar, we had standing room only in the town library. There were folks there from every walk of life, all excited about being a part of making our town more energy independent.” Fran Putnam, Weybridge Energy Coordinator, a solar homeowner herself, pointed to the added urgency of bringing more local, renewable power online. “Irene and now Sandy are further evidence that our climate is changing, underscoring how urgently we need to transition off of fossil fuels. We need solar power as part of the mix of renewable energy. It's been very encouraging to see so much local interest in solar power and the good work that solar companies and installers around Addison County are doing.” As part of the 1,000 Panels in 100 Days effort, the McNary's will be hosting an openhouse for people to learn more about his new system on Sunday Jan. 13, at 2 p.m. For more information about the initiative or to RSVP, contact McNary at bobmcnary1@myfairpoint.net at 343-4853.

Coming soon: a drug-rehab center near you
N
ot all residents of the Little City of Vergennes are pleased about a proposal to establish a 19-bed drug-rehabilitation center in their neighborhood. Just ask a couple of the neighbors who live across the street from the former Briarwood Manor Nursing Home at 1 Alden Pl. It seems odd that a facility designed to be used as a nursing care facility isn’t even being considered as such, by the powers that be. Considering Vermont’s—and Vergennes’s—rising senior population, it seems logical that such a facility would be ideal for the community. But then drug abusers probably outnumber seniors here. There’s one Briarwood Manor neighbor who doesn’t like the idea of a rehab center, and that’s Kim P. Loewer. Loewer owns, and rents, two units at Briarwood Condominiums located across the street from the former nursing home. “I will be one of the neighbors impacted the most if the project is permitted to move forward,” Loewer said. “I adamantly oppose the use of Briarwood Manor as a residential drug-rehabilitation center. The conversion of the property into a residential drug center is not appropriate for our neighborhood.” Loewer points out that Briarwood Manor was originally conceived, and built, to be a nursing home. “That was, and still is, an ideal use for the facility,” he told this newspaper. “I would wholeheartedly support the use of Briarwood Manor as a residential nursing home, short-term rehabilitation center, child/adult day care facility, youth center, municipal office complex, police facility, or other non-residential community center.” We agree with Mr. Loewer—Briarwood Manor is not the proper setting for a livein drug-rehab center. Also, why haven’t residents of Briarwood Condominiums received informational letters about the proposed center as promised by Valley Vista, as was mentioned in one recent newspaper account? According to Loewer, no letter had been received from Valley Vista as of Dec. 13. While a meet-and-greet neighborhood session is scheduled for Dec. 18, 3-6:30 p.m., at the manor site, Loewer said some of the neighbors have yet to be informed about it. Loewer, as well as several concerned residents in the area, present valid concerns: property values will be negatively impacted and the safety and security of neighbors—and the surrounding area—could be compromised. Not all neighborhood residential drug-rehab centers are what—if you’ll pardon the pun—they’re cracked up to be, at least according to some experts. The success rates are questionable when you really start digging into the data. “Up to 20 percent of clients are exposed to markedly higher levels of disadvantage, violence, or drug activity where they attend treatment than where they live, suggesting that it is not uncommon for treatment locations to increase clients’ exposure to potential environmental triggers for relapse,” according to Los Angeles researcher Jerry O. Jacobson in a 2006 article in the journal “Urban Health”. While we support the efforts of Vermont’s drug counselors and rehabilitators, there are far better locations for such services than residential neighborhoods. Ultimately, the Briarwood issue isn’t just for Vergennes residents to be concerned about; other quiet, residential neighborhoods in communities around Addison, Rutland, and Windsor counties are being considered for similar rehab facilities as this editorial is being written. We agree with Mr. Loewer: the Vergennes City Council should reject the Valley Vista proposal as it stands. There are other locations in Addison County—or elsewhere—that will better serve the community and those struggling with drug addictions. So, this one neighborhood’s concerns can be seen as the tip of a troubling iceberg. Vermont’s epidemic of drug (and alcohol) abuse is finally coming home to roost— literally. Lou Varricchio

We must turn tragedy into hope
T
his is normally the time of year when our thoughts turn to family, joy and the Christmas miracle, born in a manger some 2,000 years ago. Christmas 2012 will unfortunately forever be marred and remembered for the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School that took the lives of 20 young children and six brave teachers who desperately tried in vain to shield those lives from the evil that exists within our society. Politically, some may disagree with the term evil and choose instead to excuse the young man blamed for this event as being disturbed. But while many talk of armed guards at all schools, banning weapons of all kinds and greater protection, common sense tells us that events like these can never be completely prevented. Society must look at the culture we’ve created, the attitudes we’ve taken toward each other, the lack of respect and even the anger expressed when we disagree, on even the simplest of issues. Many will ask where was God? How could he allow this to happen? The Son of God made it clear, His Father’s Kingdom is not of the earth. Man has been given dominion over this land. God gave us 10 simple rules to live by, but politically man has continued to say we know better. God did not allow this tragedy to happen. He has given us freedom of choice, but how we choose to use that freedom is all about our every day lives and the values and beliefs engrained in our culture. Over the last few years, on this our last issue before Christmas, I have written about my wishes for mankind. I hope you’ll join me this year in adding them to your wish list and together maybe we’ll see fewer of these horrific, unexplainable events that shake and shape this world we must all share. I wish for greater respect for all humans. That those who carry weapons and seek to do harm as an expression of hatred towards others, or even themselves that they could just respect people of different views, faith, skin color, sexual orientation or nationality. They call it world peace. I’m sure we all would love to witness it, even if only for a day. I wish for great opportunity for all children. To be raised in safe homes by loving parents, with food on the table, a warm roof overhead, a safe education system that prepares them for fruitful lives full of promise and a lifetime of Christmases everyday. I wish for the end to the many dreaded diseases, ailments and birth defects that affect the population. I see so many brave individuals who face life with these burdens and do so with such courage and in-
spiration. I wish more people could experience faith in a supreme being and openly practice their faith by attending services Dan Alexander each week and recThoughts from ognize that only Behind the Pressline through our trust in God will we overcome much of what troubles our world today. I wish more folks of good fortune would share some of what they have with others less fortunate. We all witness those who give from the heart regularly even at times when they don’t have much. Just imagine a world full of people helping and caring for each other. I wish our government and all governments would put aside their bickering and seek compromise for the people they govern by finding the common ground and recognizing the important leadership roles they play in advancing a god loving and peaceful society. I wish for Christmas 2012 to be a turning point in a world that seems to have lost its way. Despite remarkable technology, advancements in the medical and scientific fields we need the saving grace of the miracle child born so many years ago. Many may say the wishes above are nothing but fanciful dreams, but not one of those fanciful dreams could not become reality if each of us were to embrace them and make them our own. It’s amazing what a little hope, faith and love can do in your life if you let them in and share them with all whom you come in contact. Let’s face it, with all of our running around, Christmas preparations and gifting this season at the end of the day wouldn’t you rather trade all the gifts under this year’s tree for any of the wishes listed above or at the very least that last Friday never occurred for those innocent souls in Connecticut? On behalf of the New Market Press staff and family I would like to wish you and your family a very joyous and safe holiday, a prosperous new year and for my last wish, that you are granted all of your prayer and wishes. Please remember in your prayers all those affected by the tragedy in Connecticut and may God bless us one and all. Dan Alexander is associate publisher of New Market Press.

The four companies, Exclusively Vermont Wood Products, Good Point Recycling, Tata Harper Skincare, and WhistlePig Whiskey, were selected by the awards committee for their contribution to the county’s economic growth and for having a meaningful community impact. “These four Addison County Companies to Watch represent the spirit of innovation and potential of local businesses. They are great ambassadors from across the spectrum of industries. We look forward to seeing them continue to grow and succeed, and help our region thrive,” says Robin Scheu, ACEDC Executive Director. “We’re excited to recognize their contribution and hope this award will elevate their profiles both locally and within their respective industries,” Scheu says. In business for 140 years, Lathrop’s Maple Supply of Bristol continues to be fresh, dynamic, and innovative. The company’s Exclusively Vermont Wood Products represent a full line of lumber and flooring, which include chain of custody documents showing that all wood is harvested within the state from timber that has been proven to be produced sustainably. Timber from Vermont forests is shipped directly to Lathrop’s Maple Supply for complete processing at one central location to ensure quality control, providing 6 fulltime and 3 part-time jobs, and saving valuable fuel resources. Products are
sold at the company’s retail outlet and custom ordered and sold to building contractors and homeowners throughout the northeast. Good Point Recycling is a nationallyrecognized electronics recycling company, consulting office, and a respected expert in "Fair Trade Recycling”. The company is one of the nation's leading e-waste recycling operations, providing free TV and PC recycling, computer refurbishing, job training, and disposal. The Middlebury-based company has seen sustained growth since its founding in 2002 and currently employs 25 people. The company has achieved R2 Certification, which ensures that more toxic material streams are managed safely and responsibly by downstream vendors, including final disposition of waste materials. Its partnership with the Retroworks de Mexico woman's cooperative is evidence of the company’s commitment to environmental and social justice. This spring Good Point is organizing an industry summit for thought leaders in the global e-waste community, which will be held at Middlebury College. Tata Harper Skincare of Shoreham is an entrepreneurially-driven company that is extending the “Certified Vermont Made” brand for premium-quality products into the consumer category of skincare. Since 2008 the company has produced 100% natural and non toxic beauty care products on its 1200acre farm, where it employs 20 fulltime staff. Some product ingredients are sourced from around the world, but many are grown in Vermont. Tata Harper and the company have been recognized by Oprah.com as "The Rising Star of Organic Beauty.”

WhistlePig Farm has created 10 fulltime jobs plus a part-time bottling crew, most residing in Addison County. Through creative marketing WhistlePig continues to capture attention in a highly-competitive spirits market. The company’s chief brand stewards, live kune kune pigs, Mortimer and Mauve, have walked the red carpet at Lincoln Center and appeared at numerous events along the East Coast, including the Vermont Chili Fest in Middlebury. WhistlePig is featured in Martha Stewart Living’s 2012 Holiday Gift Guide. The Addison County Companies to Watch award plaques were designed and made by Maple Landmark Woodcraft of Middlebury. Vermont Cookie Love of North Ferrisburgh provided boxes of cookies for award recipients. Featured speakers at the ACEDC breakfast meeting were Peter Matthews, James B. Jermain Professor of Political Economy, and Matt Dickinson, Professor of Political Science, both from Middlebury College. Each spoke about the November elections and predictions for the effects it will have on the local economy. Matthews explained the significant challenges Vermont businesses will continue to face with rising healthcare costs, while Dickinson provided perspective on the outcome of the election and the expectation for slow progress since neither political party controls both houses of Congress.

MIDDLEBURY — On the heels of Vermontʼs good marks for health, United Healthcare has acknowledged the efforts of Jeff Heath, along-time public health nurse for the Vermont Dept. of Healthʼs Middlebury District Office. Heathʼs public health colleagues recognize him as a model of competence and caring in the local community. As an epidemiology and infectious disease specialist, Heath has worked on investigations such as the current pertussis outbreak in Addison County. “His calm, professional approach helps to gain peopleʼs trust, and allows him to gather needed information and give guidance to control the spread of disease,” according to United Healthcare. “He is a reliable source of accurate information...” Heath was involved in providing public information in Addison County about the first-ever local cases of the eastern equine encephalitis virus and aerial spraying to combat the disease. sioner of health for alcohol and drug abuse programs. “The majority of Vermonters who go into treatment for substance abuse are admitted with a primary diagnosis of alcohol abuse. Over time, binge drinking disrupts lives and leads to life-threatening health conditions: liver disease, certain cancers, heart disease, stroke and other chronic diseases.” The Vermont Dept. of Health’s website shows binge drinking rates among adults in Vermont at 17 percent, which are above the national average of 15 percent. Also, data shows that almost one in three adults—and two in three high school students—in Vermont who drink alcohol also binge drink. “Binge drinking is defined as five or more drinks within a few hours for men, and four or more drinks for women,” according to the Vermont Dept. of Health. Note: United Health Foundation is the not-for-profit, private foundation of for-profit UnitedHealthcare, a Fortune 50 company.
West named Wellesley fellow MIDDLEBURY — Wellesley College announced the names of the 40 promising young women who make up the 2013 Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs class. Margaret West, a junior German Studies major from Middlebury, is among the fellows. The women will spend several weeks in January learning to become global leaders from institute faculty.
Middlebury man arrested RIPTON — The Vermont State Police arrested Brian Booska, 37, of Middlebury for an alleged abuse prevention order violation in Ripton. The Vermont State Police does not release the names of victims of alleged sexual assault or domestic violence. Booska was lodged at the Chittenden County Correction Center for lack of $10,000 bail.

The five least healthy states are South Carolina, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Mississippi and Louisiana—with both tied for 49th place. United Health reported that Vermont has its share of strengths and weaknesses on the healthy living front. Here are the highpoints of the Green Mountain State’s strengths: We have a high rate of high school graduation, a low incidence of infectious disease, a low prevalence of low birthweight, and a low rate of uninsured population. But there are two red flags for the state to be concerned about: A prevalence of binge drinking and a higher rate of cancer deaths than most other states. While the 2012 America’s Health Rankings found Vermont’s cancer deaths higher than other states, they are never-the-less falling, providing some light at the end of the tunnel. “The overall reduction in cancer incidence and mortality seen over the past 10 years is very encouraging, and data regarding cancer rates for Vermonters appear to be in keeping with the national rates, which is certainly good news,” according to Bruce Leavitt, M.D. of the University of Vermont-
Middlebury nurse recognized

from page 1
Fletcher Health Care’s Vermont Cancer Center. Leavitt was quoted in VCC’s Innovations newsletter recently. “In Vermont, 10 out of the 14 counties had a fall in cancer death rates and cancer incidence and the other four were stable, so Vermont seems to be a healthy place to live, and the lifestyle many people enjoy here appears to be paying off,” he added. One of Leavitt’s VCC colleagues was also optimistic about cancer rates in the state. “The decrease in cancer incidence and deaths are due in part to a combination of healthier living, better eating habits, and more exercise, but largely reflect improvements in screening. The number of people getting screened is going up all the time, and this is clear evidence that it's working in Vermont and around the country,” said VCC scientist Neil Hyman, M.D., also quoted in Innovations. The Vermont Department of Health's Cancer Registry, which monitors the incidence of cancer and cancer deaths among Vermonters, concurs with Drs. Leavitt and Hyman. By law, physicians and hospitals must report all new cancer cases they diagnose or treat to the Vermont Cancer Registry. Regarding binge drinking in Vermont— “We know that binge drinking is a serious problem in our state, and this report shines a new light on the problem,” according to Barbara Cimaglio, Vermont’s deputy commis-

‘Pink the Rink’ returns to Spartan Arena By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — You have to see it to believe it. Every year, Castleton State College green turns to pink for the college’s annual “Pink the Rink” event held at Spartan Arena at the Diamond Run Mall in Rutland.The exciting event, to be held Friday, Jan. 25, benefits the Breast Care Program at Rutland Regional Medical Center. Last year, “Pink in the Rink” raised over $21,000 for the program.
The Spartan Arena, home of the Castleton Men’s and Women’s Hockey, is a valuable community resource located adjacent to the Diamond Run Mall and serving the greater Rutland region. The event came of age along with the arena when it debuted in 2008. And back in the summer of 2009, the college, and the Rutland Regional Fieldhouse decided to transfer all arena responsibilities to the college. The move proved to be a good one and the “Pink in the Rink” event is a crowd
pleaser as well as a big regional drawing special. Members of the women’s hockey team will wear specially designed pink jerseys for their game against Saint Michael’s College on Jan. 25, at 6 p.m. Pink jerseys—if you dare to don one—will be available for auction prior to the game with net proceeds benefiting the Breast Care Program, according Bernadette Robin of the Rutland Health Foundation. She said admission to the game will be a steal—$6 with $4 special
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT — Patrons of the Salisbury Free Public Library gathered Dec. 9 for the annual holiday celebration and hayride and tree lighting event. The gathering included Christmas music, refreshments, and a story about sharing and friendship for the kids, followed by hayrides to Ken Tichacek's house, where hot cocoa, a bonfire, and tree lighting took place.

pricing for senior citizens and $2 for Castleton students. Now where can you get a deal like that while attending a college sporting event? All gate proceeds benefit the Breast Care program, Robin said. “A set of special collector ’s edition pink jerseys are available online for bid now. Bids can be placed by visiting the Castleton Athletics website at castleton.edu/athletics or by visiting www.32auctions.com/organizations/5461/auctions/6071,” she noted. “A minimum bid of $100 is sought for each player ’s jersey, with a ‘Buy it Now’ price to own the jersey of $300. Successful bidders can personalize their jerseys for an additional donation of $25. Fans can then show their support by wearing something pink to the rink.” Guys like pink, too, right? On Jan. 25, the match will start with fanfare as the ceremonial puck drop gets under way. For more information on the Women’s Ice Hockey Program or the Pink the Rink event, please call Castleton State College Athletics at 468-6075 or Robin at the Rutland Health Foundation ay 747-3634.

Middlebury Select Board members approve town plan MIDDLEBURY — Last week, after two public hearings and discussion of the Middlebury Town Plan at numerous meetings throughout the fall, the Middlebury Select Board approved the Town Plan, with thanks and praise to the Planning Commission for its hard work, responsiveness and transparent approach. After holding a public hearing on adopting interim zoning maps to reflect the provisions of the Town Plan, the Board adopted the maps. River Task Force Last week, the Board accepted the recommendation of the River Task Force to award
the contract for the analysis of the Middlebury River to Malone & MacBroom of Waterbury. The $34,485 project will be funded by the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and includes analysis of the river through East Middlebury from the Sand Hill Bridge to the Route 7 Bridge. The condition and function of the river channel, retaining walls, bridges, bridge abutments, flood chute and berm will be analyzed and evaluated, with findings presented in a report that assesses flood risks to East Middlebury and makes recommendations for mitigating those risks. The scope of work
also includes the development of preliminary design options for stabilizing the Grist Mill Bridge floodwall and preparation of a final design for stabilization of the floodwall. Easements granted to the State for Construction of the Sand Hill Bridge Project. The Board granted easements to the State Agency of Transportation for construction of the Sand Hill Bridge last week. Vermont Gas Systems' Request for Letter-of-Support for the Addison Natural Gas Project The Board reviewed a draft letter of support from the Selectboard to the Public Service Board for the Vermont Gas Systems' Addison Natural Gas Project and will revise the letter based on discussions at the meeting before signing and sending the letter. Police Toy Drive The second annual Middlebury Police Toy Drive is underway. Please drop off your donated toys to the Police Station or to any Police Officer by December 23rd and Police Officers will deliver them to local children on Christmas Day. Last year, gifts were delivered to 33 children.

Academy from page 1 Buck added that the academy develops the confidence and self reliance of its participants, promotes a sense of both team cooperation and individual responsibility, teaches and develops basic fire fighting and emergency service skills, and helps build in young people a strong sense of the need for community involvement and support. “We chose Vermont Tech because we were looking for new ideas,” Buck added. “With a top fire science program and a state-of-the-art burn building, Vermont Tech is a great fit with the our program and goals.” Some cadets who pursue firefighting more vigorously want to study more. For them, Vermont Tech Professor Alex Northern said an associate’s degree program in fire science at the college prepares students to pursue careers as firefighters, emergency medical technicians, fire suppression-alarm system installers and technicians, fire inspectors, and fire investigators. The curriculum includes coursework in fire behavior, emergency medicine, hazardous materials chemistry, in-
cident strategy and tactics, administration of emergency services, fire prevention, and building construction. The program offers certifications in both Firefighter I and II, and Technical Rope Rescue. Northern, who is also the cadet instructor, is pleased teen cadets will spend time on campus starting next year. “We’re excited that the Vermont Fire Cadet Academy and the Vermont Tech Fire Science Program are in a positive collaboration,” said Northern. “We’re looking forward to training future fire service leaders for Vermont and the nation.” How are cadets selected? Northern said cadets are usually sponsored by their local fire departments and attendance is limited to 48. “In making final selections, factors such as age, the location of the cadet’s sponsoring department, number of other applicants from the same area, present involvement in a cadet program and/or current participation with a fire department are considered. Graduates of the program receive a certificate from the VSFA,” he said. “Cadets are our future leaders in the state fire service,” according to VSFA’s Buck. “We hope that we can instill in them the lessons we’ve learned and that they will carry on our best practices.”
