MIDDLEBURY — Vermont Law School and Middlebury College have signed an agreement that guarantees qualified Middlebury students and graduates admission to VLS. Both institutions will benefit VLS administrators anticipate an increase in the number of strong applicants and Middlebury students will have a wider range of opportunities following graduation. The agreement is one of several steps that VLS has taken in recent years to expand coordination with undergraduate institutions. Those efforts also include full scholarships for one or two students from Middlebury and five other schools. There is no limit as to the number of Middlebury students or alumni who may apply to VLS. “The agreements are good recruiting tools for these undergraduate schools and they keep VLS on the radar of prelaw advisors and faculty and top students who may be interested in law school,” said Kathy Hartman, VLS’s associate dean for enrollment management. “It’s a natural fit given Middlebury’s strong environmental studies program and student involvement in sustainability issues as well as VLS’s ranking as the No. 1 environmental law school in the country,” said Nan Jenks-Jay, Middlebury College dean of environmental affairs. “As students are thinking more in advance about attending graduate and professional schools, these collaborative institutional See LAW SCHOOL, page 10

BRANDON — It may appear to be slow going to outsiders, but Brandon officials are pleased to see the next phase of the historic town hall restoration project set to resume by early March. The McKernon Group of Brandon will finish the final $175,000 phase of the long project. McKernon officials said the deadline is May 1 to complete the final work inside the 19th-century landmark. More than $500,000 alone had been raised from the early stage of the project. The town will seek more grants to complete detail work including a new roof and top-floor heating. The intensive restoration job, which began in 1998, will now move to the next stage. New work will begin on the town hall’s handicap-access door, multiple restrooms, and a new backstage stairway and performer “green room.” According to Dennis Marden of the Friends of Brandon Town Hall, the new handicap-access restrooms will include a men’s and women’s rooms. The women’s room will include several stalls and the men’s room will include stalls and urinals. In addition, there will be a family friendly restroom.

Now the state’s latest alternative energy project to turn-on-thejuice was dedicated at Small Dog Electronics headquarters in Waitsfield Feb. 16. Small Dog, an Apple specialist, reseller and accessories firm with retail stores in Vermont and New Hampshire, recently installed a solar photovoltaic farm outside its corporate offices in Waitsfield to provide the power needed to run its retail store in South Burlington, as well as half of the power for the company’s Waitsfield headquarters. The new, locally manufactured solar trackers are the latest in a series of investments made by Small Dog Electronics toward a goal of achieving net zero usage of non-renewable energy. Gov.

VERGENNES — Last week marked the 225th anniversary of the death of the Comte de Vergennes, the namesake of Vermont’s Small City, Vergennes.Vergennes died at Versailles in France in 1787. The festive events at Versailles, and the surrounding countryside in France, continued during week. According to Vergennes resident Nina Bacon, “Vergennes, Vt. officials were invited to attend. We couldn’t find anyone local to go, sadly, however, we created a packet of letters, in English and French, in a special archival box and included signatures, stamps, for our officials to sign. The box was taken, by a gentleman courier, member of the Sons of the American Revolution, to Versailles.” The letters, signed, stamped and sealed, presented in Versailles during Le Comte de Vergennes Day included the governor of Vermont, the mayor of the City of Vergennes, City Council of Vergennes members, Addison County Chamber of Commerce staff, 14 students enrolled in a French III course at Vergennes Union High School, the Bixby Memorial Library staff, and Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution ( SAR and DAR) Chapter regents. A descriptive text about Vergennes was also enclosed. Charles Gravier, otherwise known as Le Comte de Vergennes, lived between

He was the secretary of state for foreign affairs for French King Louis XVI during the American Revolution, A powerful personality, brilliant diplomat, and personal confidante of Louis XVI, he rose from provincial nobility to high rank in the court aristocracy and high diplomatic office for France. The count engineered a substantial donation of money, armaments, boats, army and navy combatants to aid the American colonies in the fight for independence from the British. Together with Benjamin Franklin, who was serving then as American consul in Paris, the two men carried out this crucial collaboration of planning and financial aid which, most historians agree, made all the dif-
ference for the Americans giving them the ability to carry on their struggle against the British. Gravier's aim, was to help create an independent America which would successfully challenge British dominance in world trade and form a powerful alliance of France and America to work against the British in world affairs.

Senegalese artist to visit Middlebury College MIDDLEBURY — First thing last Monday morning,after a brief period of decompression following his 36-hour flight from Dakar, Senegalese artist Viye Diba began installing his work in the Middlebury College Museum of Art exhibition Environment and Object–Recent African Art. Diba’s installation, which references the densely packed urban landscape of his nation and others on the African continent, uses street litter of a wide variety, photographs of Dakar, and flotsam and jetsam of global dispersion, particularly items wrapped in ubiquitous plastic containers, to replicate an urban environment unlike any to be found in Vermont. Titled “Nous sommes nombreux, et nos problemes avec...” [or, “We are numerous, and our problems with that...”], the installation has been described as a “chaotically ordered vision of density.” It is a key to the artist’s interest in urban geography, a subject in which he holds a doctoral degree from the University of Nice, France. Following a visit to Rwanda in 2004, Diba has been probing what he calls the packaging and industrial processing of contemporary Africa in works of art in all mediums. Diba’s one-week residency is part of the Museum’s programming to accompany the exhibition currently on view. Overflowing into the lobby of the Mahaney Center for the Arts, Environment and Object-Recent African Art is one of the most visually exciting and provocative exhibitions mounted at the Museum in recent years. Not since contemporary art from Latin America was shown in 1997 has so much of the museum been taken over by works of art on loan. Included in the show are works by El Anatsui and Yinka Shonibare, international art celebrities of great distinction, and works from private collections in Europe as well as Africa. Diba has installed his work at the Tang Museum at Skidmore College (where the exhibition originated) as well as at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. His campus visit will be highlighted with
Viye Diba: African art meetings with students in the African Student Group Umoja, students and faculty in African Studies, French, Geography, History of Art, and Political Science (elections in Senegal are imminent). Diba has been represented in the international and national exhibitions Dak'Art Biennial [Dakar], the Johannesburg Biennale, and the Centre d'art contemporain de Brux-
elles. He has had solo exhibitions in Germany, France, Belgium, and Spain, and spoken publicly at the Tang Museum (Skidmore College) and delivered a lecture "Sightlines: New Perspectives on African Architecture and Urbanism" sponsored by the Columbia University Institute of African Studies, Committee on Global Thought, and Center
for African Education. In addition to his doctorate from the University of Nice, France, Mr. Diba holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from the National School of Fine Arts, Dakar, Senegal, where he currently teaches. For additional information please contact Emmie Donadio, Chief Curator of the Museum, at Donadio@middlebury.edu.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — If you entered Mrs. classroom at Mary Hogan Elementary School Feb. 15, you wouldn’t be able to see the forest for the trees–literally. The teacher ’s third-grade students transformed their everyday classroom into a shady, temperate forest site. After sppending several weeks researching the environments of Earth’s temperate forest zones, students created mock forest groves in which to display their natural sci-
ence research. The students also used the forest mockups to present songs and stories about the trees and wildlife of temperate forest locales around the world, especially northern New England. Teachers and students sent out invitaion to parents and other family members as well as friends of the school. Visitors to the school during the day viewed the graphic and media displays which showcased the works of student. Some of the stuent exhibits included intricate 3D models of a variety of forest species.

Service without a sale T
here are many signs that things just aren’t what they used to be.
While oldsters lament about the good old days, it doesn’t take a senior citizen to recognize that our culture is coarser, folks less friendly, with less fun and color than it was just 25 years ago. Society seems depressingly dark and dreary. Even stories about our future are bleak. I’m beginning to feel like I might like to move someplace else. But where? Newt Gingrich’s Moon colony? Hey, I’d sure love it, but then we live in a society that has neither visionary leaders nor funds to stake out new frontiers. So, it’s back to living here in the dreary moment of 2012 and hoping the next person I meet will be free of tattoos and not attempt to part me from my wallet. My friend John agrees with this take on our eroding civil society. Forget pop culture and the U.S. Congress and Senate. Look at the public, commercial sector we inhabit as being the canary in the coalmine. There are so many stories I could use to buttress my thesis of an uncivil capitalism; here are just two: Take John’s recent go-round with a Florida real-estate agent via the telephone. While John was looking to invest in a retirement condominium, he became upset with a realtor who seemed to be more interested in her personal playtime and making an immediate sale than in doing a little extra work to make a sale. John repeatedly left phone voice messages with the agent during the late morning hours, that is, when it was convenient for him–the potential customer–to call Florida. No return calls were in the offing. Then one day, the excited agent called to say she found John the perfect condo by the water. Great. But when he inquired about getting more details–specifically what heavy objects, such as a security safe, could be accommodated on an upper-floor unit–the agent gave what seemed like an audible sigh over the phone. Simply put, this realtor couldn’t be bothered with digging out more data to help put icing on a potential sale. Not even a “well, ok, give me a few days and I’ll find the answer for you.” Instead she instructed John, “I would suggest that you call the building manager yourself for those kinds of details, if you’re serious about buying.” To compound this unusual, even brazen sales tact, she didn’t have the manager’s phone number–then wasn’t sure she had time to track it down. Is this a new kind of sales technique? Next, when John casually mentioned it was really hard to get ahold of her in the morning, she told him that she
played tennis every morning until 11:30, so it was always best to call her after lunch to do business. ‘Do business’? Are you kidding? This is business in modern America? What kind of self-employed realtor runs a business, especially in a depressed market like Florida, like that? John has since found another realtor who bends over backward for him. She hasn’t made a sale yet, but when she does, John will be the guy that will put her over the top and get her the Employee of the Month parking space. Ok, now my story. Take my recent interaction with a car salesperson. A few weeks ago, I was in an auto showroom looking at a 2012 model SUV that had many of the bells and whistles I was looking for like 4WD. An eager salesman approached me. He asked about my interest in the vehicle. I told him that I admired the car, but that I was many months away from making a purchase. I was probably not buying until late summer. I said that I needed time to consider such a major purchase, especially when a car today–thanks, in part, to labor wages, taxes, marketing and advertising budgets, and environmental and other regulations–costs more than my annual income. “This is much like buying a home for me,” I said. “It’s not a decision to make too quickly.” “Oh, you mean you’re not ready to purchase now?” the salesman asked. “That’s right,”I replied. The reaction I received after that was purely visual. The salesman sprouted a sort of dejected look that seemed to mask a deeper sneer at my indecisiveness. I next asked the salesman if I could take home a glossy color photo booklet showing the SUV and all its technical specs; that would better help me form an opinion. “Well,” the salesman replied, “these are very expensive brochures; we don’t get many to hand out. But I would be happy to give one to you if you are seriously interested in the vehicle.” So, brochures are only for closers now? “Hey, I am sure the brochure will help make up my mind faster,” I replied. I left the showroom with the highly prized color brochure. And I wondered: was asking for a free brochure now part of a sales negotiation? If it’s such a big deal to give away brochures, put a price on the cover. While I still like the SUV, I doubt I will purchase it from this dealer. My only fear is that the salesman in the competing dealership won’t talk with me unless I arrive brandishing a checkbook and a ballpoint pen. At least I don’t have to humiliate myself by asking for a brochure. Lou Varricchio

Wasted talent?
W
asted talent? Whitney Houston didn’t waste her talent. She sang and sang and sang and sang, and she sang some more, and acted and danced and shared with us more from her abilities then all her recordings measure. Her flickering image on the big and tiny screen, singing, has given, gives, and will continue to give us, goose bumps the size of caper’s. To say Whitney Houston’s passing is “a waste of talent,” as some say, is both rude and rather not sensitive of a human life. Wasted talent as Miss Houston’s epitaph? I don’t think so. Do you mean you’re sad we won’t get new music from her? Oh, ok, I’ll buy that, but I’ve been tuning in to some coverage of her passing. From what I gather, from professional producers who had worked with and were fond of Whitney, her voice was waning fast. The Voice, they say, saw its day. And its day was tremendous regarding quality and quantity. Was it the drugs and booze and lifestyle and hangers-on that precipitated her loss of voice? Was her realization her voice wasn’t what it used to be the reason for the further breakdown of her voice, and talent? I should shut the heck up. I sound just as foolish as all the other media going on about her. We don’t know why she had the life she had, no one does. All that blabbing about Whitney’s death is ridiculous, really. The talking heads are blaming it on show biz. That is to say, they assume had Whitney worked at the local elementary school cafeteria, she’d be alive today. Must be there aren’t any addicted cafeteria workers. Right. It ain’t show biz’iz fault folks. I’m bettin’ Ron Howard isn’t all drugged up right now, and he’s been a star since he was 4 or 5. Don’t blame it on show biz. Blame it on addiction and family upbringing to a point. Ha, listen to me going on like I know what I’m talking about. I don’t, and I bet neither do you. Interviewer Piers Morgan, the other night on television, was going on about how he was livid because Whitney’s friends and colleagues let her drink the night before her death, knowing she was an addict. Piers, Piers. I suppose had you been partying with Whitney that night, you would have walked up to her and told her she should leave immediately, cause there’s a great chance she might die later on? Yeah, that what partiers say to one another all the time Piers. Piers, you’re the hero aren’t you? Interview me about Whitney and when you bring up “enabling”, I’ll remind you that your next commercial break will likely be filled with prescription drug commercials. And I would also remind you about that pub you own, and ask if you employ someone who’s job it is to gauge whether someone drinking is an addict of not? Gol’ darn you and the likes of you, Piers. You know well you’ve interviewed someone live on T.V., who was high and you didn’t ask them a single question about it. You didn’t say, “By the way, you’re high aren’t you?” You’re such a hypocrite Piers. And so I am. Whitney’s dead, we assume, because of addictive prescription drug use. And lots and lots and lots more will die from the same. And there’s little you or I will, or even can, do about it. I don’t count talking and writing about it doing something about it.

A snow job from Vt. ski resorts? By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com
MIDDLEBURY — Do Vermont ski resorts fib about their weekend snow amounts? A news item by Christopher Shea in the Wall Street Journal, Feb. 18, reports that until the advent of special iPhone apps that permits skiers to post snow reports from ski lifts, ski resorts tended to fib about new snow. “Fresh snow inspires people to hit the slopes, creating a strong incentive for resorts to fib,” according to Shea. “On average, researchers found, each additional inch, reported by a resort boosts website visits 61 percent.” According to the news report, between the years 2004 and 2008, ski-areas reported an increase in weekend snow–most of the income made by ski resorts are on weekends, not weekdays. “At resorts that had iPhone coverage, snowfall exaggeration promptly ended,” she reported.

Work on Middlebury fire facilities project continues MIDDLEBURY – Planning for the Middlebury fire facilities improvement project continues to go smoothly, both on-schedule and within budget. The Committee, reporting Feb. 7, is working on its presentation for Town Meeting. The bond vote will be discussed in the "other business" article. Voting will take place on Tuesday, March 6th in the gym from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Absentee ballots are also available from the Town Clerk's Office. To give residents another opportunity to visit Middlebury Fire Station 2 on Kings Row in East Middlebury, the Middlebury Fire Department is hosting the Police Department's bike sale at Station 2 on the Feb. 25, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Report on Business Development Fund Public Meeting Board Member Nick Artim reported on the Business Develop-
ment Fund public meeting, which may be viewed on line at www.middleburycommunitytv.or g. The goal of the effort is to help Middlebury businesses grow and add jobs, creating good jobs close to home: jobs for people who are already here who need work or are underemployed and jobs for those who don't want to leave Middlebury or who would like to return. Business growth would be created by connecting local businesses with outside resources including, but not limited to, suppliers, new markets and investment capital. A one-page handout on the business development fund effort and notes from the public meeting are available on the Town's website, www.middlebury.govoffice.com and at the Middlebury Town Offices (802-388-8100, extension 201). Application for Hazard Mitiga-
tion Grant Program Authorized. Funding from the grant would assist the Town of Middlebury in completing a FEMA approved, locally adopted, Townwide All Hazards Mitigation Plan. The plan will include an assessment of all potential hazards, including river flooding, and identification of potential mitigation activities. The total project cost is estimated at $61,150, with a FEMA share of $42,867.50 and a local share of $15,287.50. Expenses include $34,500 for engineering analysis, $9,750 for project management and natural resource consulting, $2,600 in regional planning assistance and $14,300 in Town staff time. Design/Build Approach to Riverfront Work in Marbleworks Area As proposed, project would coordinate with existing terrain, cre-
ROMANTIC WINNERS
ate attractive and functional seating and events areas, provide lowcost permeable pathways for pedestrian and maintenance access, and stabilize banks and slopes with plantings. David Raphael of LandWorks would serve as the primary contractor for the project, providing designs, assistance with permitting and bidding, and construction oversight for the project. The anticipated budget for the project is $70,000: $50,000 for construction work, $10,000 for design work; $5,000 for construction oversight; $4,000 for contingency; and $1,000 for reimbursable expenses. Election worker wages were increased in recognition of the increased complexity and legal requirements of the position. As additional election workers are needed for Town Meeting, interested Middlebury residents that
are registered voters are encouraged to contact Town Clerk Ann Webster at 802-388-8100, extension 201. Selectmen's Policy on False Alarms. The Selectboard updated its policy on false alarms particularly as it applies to bank robbery alarms. Update on Review of FY2011 The staff is working with an independent, third party CPA and its auditor to review the FY2011 financial statements and will report any findings and conclusions at the next Selectboard Meeting on Feb. 28. Deputy Health Officer Tom Scanlon was reappointed for a three-year term. This report was filed by Kathleen Ramsay, assistant town manager, and published in The Eagle as public service.

A girl and her cat: Edith Kidder and Cuddle Monkey the cat. The 8-yearold adopted her new pet at the Addison County Humane Society in Middlebury. we heard from a little birdie— is non other than Rusty “the Logger” Dewees. “When we let the cat out to play, he went downstairs and the dogs started barking,” Edith said. On the way home from the Humane Society in the family car, the cat rode in a box. “I wanted him to sit in my lap the whole car ride. He didn’t ride on my lap because he would go to the front like the dogs at home,” she noted. Edith stopped by Agway on Exchange Street to pick up a collar, scratching post, and toy for her new friend. But on the way home, she also decided on something

even bigger for the innocent cat–a major name change. “I changed his name because I did not like the name Rusty,” she said. ”I also decided to change it because when we got home he was sitting in my lap and then he got crazy. I was thinking–‘Crazy Monkey’, or ‘Monkey Crazy,’ or ‘Crazy Cuddle’, or ‘Monkey Cuddle’, then I decided on Cuddle Monkey. He is adorable.” Content with her new found friend that prefers purring to meowing, Edith especially delights in her little Cuddle Monkey when he flexes his paws to bat at her feet when she moves them under the blankets at bedtime. “It’s so annoying, but I love him,” she said. “He is just like a crazy little monkey.”

Congratulations to Ross and Heather Gorton of Bristol, winners of The Eagle’s romantic get-away weekend at the Marriott, Courtyard Harborside in Burlington. The Gortons won a random drawing of readers who submitted a completed entry form in the newspaper’s recently completed 100 Best in the Region Readers Survey.
MIDDLEBURY — For Edith Kidder, 8, of Middlebury, love came along just in time–and it was in the form of a loveable little fuzzball with four paws and a moist nose. Kidder decided to adopt a cat from the Addison County Humane Society recently. She talked to her parents and she finally got to visit each animal at the Middlebury shelter. After finding the purrfect—er, perfect— pet, she hoped the Eagle would help share her story so that other children, and adults, might consider adopting a well-cared for pet from the Humane Society. “I got my cat at the Addison County Humane Society; I wanted a pet to keep me a little company,” she said. “I picked out a cat named Rusty because he was so cute. He was so little. He looked lonely, so I choose him for a friend. He was with another cat in the same cage. I put my hand in and he put his head in my hand.” Kidder developed an immediate bond with little Rusty, whose namesake—

1. Only evaluate approved wood stoves equipped with a non-catalytic combustion system that exceeds EPA standards and are currently tax credit qualified. 2. Look for an eco-friendly seal and a recycled ingredients label that lists the many ways that a stove manufacturer has gone the extra mile to produce the highest quality and most energy efficient wood stove, possible. 3. Similar to grocery shopping, seek out the equivalent of an "Organic Section" in your local fireplace hearth store to compare the quality standards, eco-wise content, and warranties. Additionally, if living by green principles is important to you — and it should be — properly burning local wood in a high efficiency wood stove is an environmentallysound action. Given that the use of sustainably-harvested, properly processed and seasoned wood for energy displaces the use of fossil fuels, the result is a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Most people want their living spaces to smell clean and fresh. However, pets, aromas from the kitchen, cigarette smoke, and other things can make a home smell bad. Here are inexpensive ways to remedy all that. •Find the source of the bad smell and eliminate it. This could be a garbage pail sitting in the sun or sink disposal that's filled with food debris. •Use a chunk of cedar or sandalwood in drawers and closets for a fresh smell. •Simmer some cinnamon sticks and water in a pot on the stove. •Dab a favorite essential oil onto a piece of fabric and stash it wherever you want a pleasant smell — even in the car. •Toss a used dryer sheet in the linen closet to keep sheets and towels smelling fresh-

Homeowners concerned about high energy bills have put energy conservation home improvements at the top of their must-do list this year. Because heating costs are typically one of the highest and most variable home expenses, homeowners are considering energy-efficient zone heating options when embarking on home renovation projects. Homes without chimneys or fireplaces can install a fireplace insert with an innovative zero-clearance enclosure. This is an excellent zone heating option for those in the process of a renovation or new build looking to outfit their homes with the advanced technology of a fireplace insert and class A chimney. Since buying a wood stove is much like buying furniture, you will find a widechoice of models that match every lifestyle and design interest, including antique, traditional, classic or modern. While evaluating the right size, heating capacity and look of your future wood stove, we recommend that you also consider these three tips:

Create a designer look on a budget Interior designers have a knack for pulling together furniture and accessories to create rooms with widespread appeal. But not every homeowner has the resources to hire a professional to help turn their interior from drab to fab. Fortunately, it doesn't always take a pro to transform a home's interior. The key to creating a beautiful room is planning. Designers do it and so should you. Measure the dimensions of the room and create a sketch of the area using graph paper or computer software. Be sure to plot any windows or doors on the drawing so that you will be aware of obstacles. Homeowners unsure of what they want should browse through magazines or pictures on the Web for inspiration. Search for key phrases that describe your design style, such as Tuscan, farmhouse, country, colonial, etc. Then read up on the components of these styles that define it. This will help you select items that fit with the style. Once a particular style has been chosen, create a design board just like the professionals. Cut out swatches of fabric, select paint swatches, find magazine pictures that fit with your goal and arrange them on a piece of poster board. See how the items work together. If you are unsure of colors, see which shades were used in the inspiring picture and determine if it will coordinate with your home. When designing, identify or create a focal point in the room and build off of that. This may be a large window, fireplace, or even the entertainment center if it's a family room. Place furniture around the focal point and then move outward. It's also important to keep scale in mind. Large walls or tall ceilings will create plenty of wall space. A small print or wall hanging will be lost in such an area. Be sure to choose furnishings and accessories that fit with the scale of the room. In other words, a huge sectional may overpower a small living room. When choosing colors, make sure they are cohesive. Research the color wheel that artists use to help with designing the room. Some colors are complementary or opposites and still work together. Homeowners

nervous about color should choose a color from fabric or furniture and use a few different shades of the same color in the room. Select an accent color that can be used on trim or as a spot of color on a pillow or accessory. When plotting wall hangings or other decor, odd numbers often look more pleasing to the eye. Experiment with different sizes of framed artwork or different shaped accessories for visual appeal. For example, a few rectangular shaped items with a circular clock and a conical flower vase can mix it up in the room. This is where looking at magazine layouts can be extremely helpful. Many stores sell items that mimic the look of higher-priced items. When copying a designer room, select pieces that are similar, but not necessarily the same brands. Consider shopping at second-hand stores or antique shops for discounted pieces. With a little new fabric or stain, many items can look like new again. Shopping online also may enable shoppers to find items more readily and see how they look in staged rooms. When designing, it never hurts to think outside of the box. Items that were intended for outside may work well inside as well. Hanging lanterns or plant stands could be put to use in a rustic room. Save some money by making some items yourself. For instance, if you cannot find a particular throw pillow or drapery that fits with your style, go to a fabric store and purchase fabric to make your own. Decorating doesn't have to cost a fortune or look like you pieced odd items together. By following the guidelines of a designer room and selecting lower-priced items that mimic the shape and scale of similar accessories, it's possible for any homeowner to create a room for less.

Maintain proper humidity for comfort and safety Humidity can affect how comfortable a person may feel outdoors. However, humidity also affects indoor comfort and the condition of
items inside the house. Maintaining proper humidity levels is important. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Too

much humidity can make the air feel thick and make it hard to breathe. Too little humidity can cause static electricity and dry out the skin. Many people prefer moderate levels of humidity. According to experts, optimum humidity is between 30 and 60 percent. Anything above or below those percentages can make indoor spaces seem uncomfortable and contribute to certain health problems or deterioration of household structures. •Dry House Concerns: While it would seem a dry house would be ideal, low
humidity can cause shrinking and other issues with wood, including causing gaps or loose floor boards. It also may contribute to cracks in plaster or drywall. Eventually pests may be able to enter the house through these points and cause even more destruction. An overly dry house also can be a fire hazard. Static electricity and dry conditions may prove problematic. In terms of health, a dry home can cause skin irritation and dryness of the respiratory system, leaving a person more susceptible to illnesses. •Wet House Concerns:
On the opposite side of the spectrum, a damp house is not beneficial either. Humidity can expand and warp wood in the home and cause peeling wallpaper. Dust mites and other allergens love high humidity conditions to spread spores. Many types of insects seek out humid conditions to thrive. One of the biggest concerns with a humid home is the proliferation of mold and mildew. If there is more than 60 percent humidity in the house the conditions are ripe for mold to grow. Mold can attach to and grow on any number of surfaces. It

spreads well on paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood products. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mold can also grow in dust, paints, wallpaper, insulation, drywall, carpet, fabrics, and upholstery. The Institute of Medicine has found sufficient evidence to link exposure to damp indoor environments in general to upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough and wheeze in otherwise healthy people and with asthma symptoms in people with asthma. •Controlling Humidity: Homeowners can determine humidity levels and help regulate it by first purchasing a hygrometer. This is an inexpensive meter found at most hardware stores. Go from room to room to determine areas that have improper humidity levels. High humidity can be remedied by some methods: •Move plants outside. •Avoid aquariums or water features. •Check for and remedy pooling of water around the foundation of the home. •Open windows frequently to ventilate. •Consider purchasing one or more dehumidifiers to run in troublesome rooms. Consider these options: •Have a variety of houseplants inside. •Consider a fish tank as a focal point and a source of evaporating water. •Use room humidifiers to moisten the air.

The 'silent killer' should be taken seriously Those experiencing dizziness or flu-like symptoms might be quick to assume they have a virus. However, such symptoms could be a byproduct of carbon monoxide exposure at home. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, toxic gas. In 2005, U.S. fire departments responded to roughly 61,100 carbon monoxide incidents across the country. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America. Roughly 500 Americans and 400 Canadians die every year due to CO poisoning. Thousands others are hospitalized due to the poisonous gas. In 2009, a family of four from Ontario, Canada all perished due to CO poisoning in their home caused by a clogged exhaust vent on the home's gas fireplace. The house didn't have a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide forms from the combustion of different types of fuels, including natural gas, gasoline, wood, and kerosene. If improper venting in the home occurs, CO can build up to hazardous levels. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, acute effects of CO illness are due to the formation of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood, which inhibits oxygen intake. At moderate concentrations, angina, impaired vision and reduced brain function may result. At higher concentrations, CO exposure can be fatal.
CO detectors, like smoke alarms, are the single best way to detect harmful CO levels. The detectors work on a chemical reaction causing a color change, an electrochemical reaction that produces current to trigger an alarm or a semiconductor sensor that changes its electrical resistance in the presence of CO. Most detectors require a contin-
uous power source, so they should be plugged in and also have a battery back-up. The National Fire Protection Association recommends these tips with regard to CO detectors. •CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other lo-
cations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards. For the best protection, interconnect all CO alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound. •Follow the manufacturer's instructions for placement and mounting height. •Choose a CO alarm that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory. •Test all detectors at least once a month. •An alarm could indicate a problem or a low battery. However, many detectors beep intermittently to signal a battery needs to be changed. If an alarm sounds, get out of the house or move to a fresh-air location, like next to an open window. •Contact your local fire department's nonemergency number to find out what number to call if the CO alarm sounds. It's important to take CO alarms seriously, as detectors are programmed to indicate the start of a problem before it becomes dangerous. Preventing CO from building up indoors is also beneficial. •Never use an outdoor grill indoors. •Make sure all heating equipment is properly sized for the home and vented. •Open the flue when using a fireplace. •Warm up a car outside of the garage. •Hire a professional to routinely inspect the equipment. •Repair appliances and heat sources promptly.

But such items are often impractical for a household with an active family. Decorating when there are one or more kids residing in a home doesn't have to mean
vinyl furniture you hose down or plastic on the sofa. But smart choices can make rooms look beautiful and be functional. In the not-so-distant past, many homeowners kept a "display living room." It was the room in the house that had expensive breakables
and white carpeting perfectly vacuumed into a footprint-free pattern. This was an off-limits room reserved only for special occasions. The children of the house were often forbidden to step foot inside. Today, many people have revised their thoughts on rooms of the

house -- preferring all rooms be used even if it means modifying the decor to do so. Active families will require a design style that fits with their lifestyle, not vice versa. That means individuals should examine how they live and fashion rooms accordingly. These designs will have to take into account that children often have accidents, get into things they shouldn't touch, and entertaining company will lead to stains, and perhaps pets will cause their own mayhem. A number of today's fabrics are forgiving to greasy fingerprints or accidental spills. Microfiber sofas often clean up well, and leather options may wipe down easily. Select colors that mask stains. Darker-colored shades or patterns are more forgiving than light beige or white. Consider purchasing the warranty protection that many stores offer on furniture in the event a stain or tear occurs. Chances are it can be mended or replaced under the warranty. Many parents worry about sharp edges or fragile items in living areas. This can be remedied by choosing rounded designs that are easier on limbs and heads

flip-up covers where toys or extra pillows and such can be stowed away. They also double as extra seating when guests come around. Rustic, weathered design styles often fit in well with active families. That's because, should a scratch or gouge occur, it blends in with the design. Avoid frilly fabrics in lieu of simple, streamlined designs. This reduces the dirt and dust accumulation that's common with kids and pets in the home. Don't overload furniture and shelving with a ton of knick-knacks. It gives you more work in dusting and cleaning and give kids a greater number of things to touch and potentially break. Consider hardwood floors or tile. They can be mopped up rather easily. This way you don't have to contend with or worry about damaged and stained carpeting. Here are some other family-friendly design tips. •Choose a paint color and finish that hides scuffs and stains. Semi-gloss finishes may be wiped down to clean off some items, like crayon or dirt. In a child's room, consider painting one wall (or a portion of the wall) with chalkboard paint. This way you can deter drawing on other areas of the home. •Avoid long drapes. They are tripping hazards and choking hazards, and kids typically can't resist pulling on them. Opt for shutters, shades or miniblinds. •Use stain-guard sprays or cover dining room chairs with a protective covering so that they can hold up to tomato sauce and other food items that might drop on kids' chairs. •Buy durable items. It may cost a little more to by a dependable brand, but it will pay off in the long run when Junior is using the sofa as a trampoline. •Keep spaces for the kids. It's inevitable that toys will stray out of bedrooms and into other areas of the house. Build baskets and other storage devices into the design so there are places to quickly store items out of the way. •Don't wait to decorate until the kids are older. Then you'll have a room full of mix-matched things pieced together over the years. Select quality pieces in forgivable fabrics and materials, and you can have a room everyone can enjoy.

Hinesburg moves ahead with building project By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com HINESBURG - The Town of Hinesburg is moving ahead with its proposed public safety building complex in the center of the village. Town officials will include an article to be voted on Town Meeting Day to fund a public safety facility and community park, according to Rocky Martin, buildings and facilities director. The $2.9 million bond will be voted by Australian ballot on Town Meeting Day, March 6, Martin said. The project, on a site in the village center, project proposes to expand the fire station, include the police station in the same building, add a community room, and include work on a community park. The site would also accommodate a bus stop for the new Route 116 CCTA/ACTR commuter as well as a park and ride area. “For many years, Hinesburg has considered the need for additional Fire and Police facilities,” Martin said.
State Police say human skull belonged to a female RUTLAND — The human skull found in Rutland County Feb. 12 was that of a female, Vermont State Police officials said. Two missing Vermont women are being considered by the VSP. “Missing person reports indicate that Heidi Wilbur, missing since 1991 from Middletown Springs, and Brianna Maitland, missing since 2004 from Montgomery, could potentially meet the age range criteria of the caucasian female in this case,” according Stephanie Dasaro, Vermont State Police public information officer, in a news release. On Feb. 15, Vermont State Police detectives along with members of the Vermont State Police Crime Scene Search Team, State Police Human Remain Detection K-9s and
The 2000 Town Report stated: “Both the Hinesburg Community Police Department and Volunteer Fire Department have outgrown their existing facilities.” As it stands now, Martin said, the proposed public safety facility totals approximately 14,000 square feet. “Fire Department vehicles will be housed on the east side facing Route 116. Currently the fire department houses five trucks at the station and an emergency response vehicle at the old fire station. The proposed building will have six bays on Route 116, providing centralized space for all six current fire department vehicles with storage space at the rear of each bay,” he said. Martin said space is planned for EMT quarters in the existing fire station area. “These quarters might be utilized at no cost to the town by college students in EMT training in the near term,” he said. “The police department and its garage space would be located at the southwest corner of the expanded building.” The adjacent community park is the likely choice for the
the State Police Search and Rescue Team searched the area along Danby Hill Road where a skull was discovered. Based on the examination of the skull by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ’s Office, its characteristics appear consistent with that of a young adult, caucasian female. VSP detectives said further examination is necessary to determine the female’s identity. Due to the deterioration of the skull, identification may prove difficult and could take time. Dasaro noted that Vermont state detectives are checking local police agencies to see if any of missing person cases could meet the criteria; the victim could be someone unreported as missing or someone from out-ofstate. Anyone who has information regarding
bus stop and park and ride area. It would also accommodate a new location for the farmers market, include a playground, and place for a community garden. “Property tax impacts from the proposed bond will be offset by impact fees collected,” Martin said. “Fire and police impact fees began in November 2010 and are assessed when a building permit is issued. And fire impact fees are based on square feet of new homes or additions while police impact fees are based on new bedrooms created.” Since 2010, according to Martin, the town has collected almost $72,000 in fees. “This rate increase would mean a property valued at $200,000 would see an increase of approximately $80 per year,” he said. Martin invited voters to stop by the police station during business hours for a tour of the current building. A public meeting will be held on Feb. 27 at the Hinesburg Town Hall, at 7:15 p.m. Town officials will also host an open house on Saturday, March 3, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
this investigation should call the Vermont State Police in Rutland at 802-773-9101.

During the stop, Tindale was found to be in possession of marijuana.

Rochester Fire Department and rescue personnel where already on scene and searching the roadways and doing a house to house search. Additional resources were requested including Vermont State Police Search and Rescue Team members, a Vermont State Police Canine Unit and a National Guard Helicopter.

relationships become attractive options for them.” The agreement also applies to students who have completed graduate degrees from one of Middlebury’s programs or schools, including the Monterey Institute of International Studies, Middlebury Language Schools, and Bread Loaf School of English. “For example, it’s an ideal match for Monterey graduates in the international environmental policy program,” added Jenks-Jay. “What we are really doing is providing additional opportunities for all of our students following graduation.” VLS has signed similar agreements with 11 undergraduate schools and another two are in progress. The contract with Middlebury is unusual since it includes students and alumni of the undergraduate college as well as those who have completed Middlebury’s graduate programs. The agreements are intended to improve coordination between VLS and undergraduate schools whose students are interested in attending law school. Under the agreements, students and graduates at the undergraduate institutions are guaranteed admission to VLS if their GPA and LSAT credentials are equal to or stronger than the median for VLS’s entering class. Their undergraduate files must also contain no evidence or concerns about their character that would make them inap-

propriate candidates for law school. Ten students have enrolled at VLS under the agreements since the program started in 2004. VLS has similar agreements with Assumption College, Burlington College, Champlain College, Green Mountain College, Lake Forest College, Middlebury College, Northland College, Schreiner University, The Sage Colleges, Wilson College and Woodbury College (now the Woodbury Institute of Champlain College). Agreements are in progress at Dartmouth College and Hampshire College. VLS also started an Environmental Law Scholarship program with six undergraduate institutions in fall 2011. The “feeder school” program provides a full-tuition scholarship to one or two top students or graduates from six schools each year who have a significant record of environmental and public service, a GPA of 3.65, and an LSAT score of 160 or higher. The program includes candidates for a law degree, an environmental law and policy master ’s (MELP), and a joint law-MELP degree. The participating schools are Middlebury, Dartmouth, Oberlin, Lake Forest, Hampshire and Colorado College. The first students in the Environmental Law Scholarship program will enroll in fall 2012. Middlebury and the other participating schools determine which of their students to nominate for a scholarship. Vermont Law School will have the final decision on whether or not a scholarship will be awarded.

Swimming, hockey teams busy at Middlebury College Women's Swimming Finishes Fourth At NESCAC's After sitting in fourth place after each day of the 2012 NESCAC women’s swimming and diving championships hosted by Wesleyan University, the Panthers held on strong for a fourth place overall finish. Williams won the event (1,430), followed by Amherst (1,430), Tufts (1,261) and Middlebury (1,125). Jamie Hillas won two individual titles, while one relay team took home a NESCAC crown. On day one, Hillas earned the NESCAC title in the 50 breaststroke, finishing the event with a time of 29.79. Sophomore Andrea Tibbetts earned a second place finish in the 50 back, earning a time of 26.44. Also placing second was the 400 medley relay team of Tibbetts, Hillas, Maddy Berkman and Nora Daly, who made an NCAA “B” cut with a time of 3:50.99. Also earning a “B” cut with a third place (1:36.16) finish in the 200 free relay were Ann Carpenter, Alexandra Edel, Daly and Tibbetts. Hillas won her second NESCAC title on day two, capturing the 100 breaststroke in 1:05.41 for a "B" cut.
The 200 medley relay team also won the NESCAC crown, finishing with a time of 1:45.57 for an "B" cut and a NESCAC meet record. Tibbetts, Hillas, Berkman and Ann Carpenter comprised the group. Middlebury's 800 free relay team earned an "B" cut with a time of 7:40.57, good for second place. Daly, Courtney Haron, Jen Friedlander and Katherine Loftus made up the team. Placing second at the meet in the 100 back was Tibbetts, who finished with a time of 55.59. Day three saw Tibbetts earn a “B” cut with a second place finish in the 200 back (2:02.83). Also earning a “B” cut in the 400 free relay (3:32.07) with a third place finish were Daly, Carpenter, Tibbetts and Edel.
Late Goals Lift Amherst Over Men's Hockey Amherst scored two third period goals to pick up a 2-1 road win at Middlebury in the regular season finale for both teams. The Panthers (12-9-3, 11-6-1) are the third seed for the upcoming NESCAC Tournament, and will host Wesleyan in a quarterfinal game next Saturday at 4 p.m. Third-
ranked Amherst (20-3-1, 17-1) enters the tourney as the top seed and will host no. 8 Hamilton last Saturday. Middlebury has some quality chances midway through the period, as Michael Longo was denied before Jonathan LaRose made a big save on the follow up attempt by Thomas Freyre. Middlebury’s Charlie Strauss saw a nice wrister from the left wing denied at 13:00, while Dan Fullam came up big on Amherst’s Erik Hansen on the other end of the ice as he broke in alone. The period ended with the Panthers holding an 11-4 shots advantage. Middlebury jumped on the board 3:05 into the second period when Trevor Pollock scored his fourth of the season with a blast from the right point on the power play. The Panthers continued to pepper the Amherst net, with some great scoring chances midway through the period. Freyre nearly netted his second of the game at the 11:05 mark after a scramble, before Chris Brown’s blast from the right point was denied by LaRose. Brown had another great chance with 2:55 to go driving to the goal from the left side, but his first shot and follow up were both stopped. The Panthers outshot the Jeffs 17-4 in the period.
Amherst came out charging in the third period, putting several shots on the Panther net. Holding a 9-0 shots advantage the first 10 minutes of play, the Jeffs took advantage of their 10th shot to tie the game at 1-1. Mike Rowbotham spun away from a defender behind the net and then banked a shot in off Fullam from behind the goal line for this sixth of the season. The Panthers had a chance to regain the lead on a power play at the 12:44 mark, but instead gave up a shorthanded tally. Andrew Kurlandski skated up the right wing and cut to the goal with a shot to the top left corner on the breakaway. The goal was his seventh of the year, the first shorthanded. Middlebury pulled Fullam (19 saves) at the 18:40 mark, with Charles Nerbak getting a good look from the point with a glove save from LaRose (30 saves). The Panthers had 30.7 seconds of six-on-four play after a Jeff penalty late. The game ended with a scramble in the crease after a shot from Longo was saved, as LaRose covered a loose puck as time expired. Amherst held an 11-3 shots advantage in the third period, with Middlebury outshooting the Jeffs 31-21 in the game. Sports news reports are courtesy of Middlebury College.
