President hails a sea change President Obama’s inaugural speech put aside America’s highly vaunted individualism and instead appealed to the kinder angels within the American character. “This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience,” the president said of the past dozen years. “A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together. “For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it… “We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when (@(-6&>(-$"/&2#/&5/:&3/:(>(/:(/2(&#/:&>-3:(&3/&%'(3-&)"-*B&)'(/&%'(& wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship…. “We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, reach higher… “We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few… The commitments we make to each other through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative, they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.” Imagine. By not being desperate, American residents can rise out of poverty, avoid wrong paths and work to reach higher plateaus. Government is not the boogeyman, but is making the assist — the good set that lets others score. Even more notable was President Obama’s focus on climate change and the principle of equality, a section of the speech that was his most eloquent. “We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging 5-($B&#/:&2-3>>03/;&:-"A;'%B&#/:&<"-(&>")(-,A0&$%"-<$??? “We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still… Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.” ********** 7%&)#$&#0$"&#&$>((2'&%'#%&-(J(2%(:&%'(&$(0,M2(/%(-(:&3:(#$&5-$%&$(%&3/& motion by President Ronald Reagan that tore at the heart of a collective nation: attacks on government and the safety net (particularly welfare), combined with championing tax cuts to the wealthy that would $A>>"$(:06&+(/(5%&(@(-6"/(&@3#&)'#%&.("-;(&E?&RA$'&)"A0:&0#%(-&2#00& “voodoo economics” and what became trickledown economics — only the wealth never trickled down and the nation’s wage gap widened. To that end, President Obama’s speech represents a sea change in the nation’s political landscape.

On Monday, Obama, secure in the knowledge that the nation’s minorities had joined with other liberal constituencies to form a new governing coalition, voiced their demands to ensure equality and to preserve and expand the government’s efforts to meet the nation’s challenges...” One could see the change in the crowds that day. It was a diverse America; a middleclass America; a hopeful and compassionate America; and yet an America ready to get to work to solve the problems at hand.

We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name calling as reasoned debate. We must act...” Amen. Angelo S. Lynn

Porter Hospital’s heart questioned Last week a very dedicated, >0(#$#/%B&>-"523(/%&KLM6(#-M"0:& volunteer was let go after 14 years of twiceweekly service in her as signment at Porter Hospital. She had just made a remarkable recov ery from major surgery and had full clearance from her doctor. No reason was given for this “termina tion,” and there were no offerings of appreciation for her generous contribution to the hospital. When I heard the news, I ex perienced the same goose bumps and chills all over my body that I felt when I heard about the Rev. Diana Scholl’s termination. The abruptness, the blindside, the lack of appreciation, the harshness, the insensitivity and coldness, the bizarre nature of these decisions and the obvious lack of insight into their impact on patients and staff/ volunteers takes my breath away, bewilders me and makes me hurt for all involved. In light of these kinds of deci sions and the manner in which they have been executed, I wonder what is happening with Porter Hospital administration and if Porter Hospi tal has even lost its heart.

Obama’s speech prompts musings After listening to Obama’s second inaugural address Monday, I found myself thinking about activism. In the speech, which was called “progressive” by various me dia outlets, the President touched on past social move ments (Seneca Falls, Selma, Stonewall) and mentioned the one that — after a summer of Colorado burning non stop, and Sandy wiping out seaside towns along the East !"#$%&%'(&)((*&+(,"-(&%'(&.(/(-#0&10(2%3"/&4&3$&5/#006& holding the nation’s attention these days: the climate movement. Activism means different things to different people. The word seems to carry a certain amount of stigma in some circles, though in itself, activ ism doesn’t mean taking to the streets By Xian and embodying a counterculture. I Chiang‑Waren grew up hearing about the protests of the sixties and seventies, which both of my parents participated in, though by the time I was a young kid hearing about the rallies and sitins and demonstrations, they seemed to have lost some of their sheen. In school, the word “activism” was something that teachers said a little snidely. The message they sent was that “activists” were hopelessly divorced from reality, past their prime, and so cast away from the mainstream that they could never hope to accomplish much. Real change happened in politics, they wanted us to know, and through those elected people that older people put in charge of making decisions for us. 7& )#$& 89& #/:& 3/& (3;'%'& ;-#:(& %'(& 5-$%& %3<(& 7& (=>(-3 enced something that might have been called activism. In my public school in New York, not too long after Sep tember 11, my friends and I followed a group of high schoolers out of the building and half a mile west to Union Square Park, a historic protest location in lower Manhattan. There was a rally there to protest the invasion of Afghanistan, a mixture of suits on their lunch breaks and old hippies who looked like they hadn’t left the park

since the late seventies. After some speeches, my friends and I trailed after a section of the crowd that led an im promptu march off the sidewalks and onto the streets, )'(-(& 3%& $%">>(:& %-#,52?& 1@(/%A#006B& )(& )(-(& 2"--#00(:& by city police into a single square block near Washington Square Park. Some people were peppersprayed, others )(-(&#--($%(:?&7&)#$&5/(?&C#%2'3/;&%'(&/()$&%'#%&/3;'%B& my parents and I learned that the citywide student walk out that day had drawn thousands. Whether or not the protest was effective was not the point for me. Clearly, none of the antiwar pro tests during the Bush years changed anything practical. But I remember walking with the crowd and being moved by the feeling of being in it together with other people. Right af ter the towers collapsed, our notori "A$06& $%#/:",5$'& 23%6& '#:& 2'#/;(:?& People interacted with each other differently. In a place where passersby normally don’t even make eye contact, suddenly everyone looked out for you, stranger asking stranger how they were doing, where they were when “it happened.” People hugged each other, bought each other subway tokens, told stories at the vigils that were erected in every public square. Near Ground Zero people sat through the night. To my kid’s mind, it didn’t seem that the protest I attended was political, particularly, or going against the grain in some way. It seemed like an extension of the “coming together” phenomenon that had happened in the wake of tragedy and, though the mes sages spoken were political in nature, the reality of the experience just seemed very human. Student activism is a tricky thing. At what point is your judgment considered sound? Hasn’t everyone been told at some point, “You’re a kid. You don’t know what you’re talking about.” At the age of 13, your claim to (See Clippings, Page 5A)

Only Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural, delivered in March 1865, just a few weeks before the end of the Civil War and the reelected president’s own assassina tion, is counted among the great speeches in American history. In his second inaugural address this past Monday, President Obama demonstrated that he is a master at using the power of words to connect enduring themes in the American po litical tradition to the challenges the nation faces today. Much of Obama’s second inaugural address was a set By Eric L. Davis of variations on a theme. He used the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, the preamble of the Constitution, and references to Martin Luther King’s “I E#@(&#&F-(#<G&$>((2'&%"&$>#-*&-(H(2%3"/$&"/&%'(&<(#/ ing of liberty and equality in 21stcentury America. As Obama spoke, I could not help thinking of the words and spirit of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. — men honored just a few blocks away from where the president was addressing the nation and the world. To me, the best part of Obama’s speech was toward the end, where the president said that “We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still;

I am in support of a threeyear moratorium that gives the people and legislative body of Vermont time to step back and view the im pacts of wind power projects. They need to understand the stress our friends and families have absorbed while living near them. Hopefully this past election brought us senators and representa tives that are aware and awake to the fact that we as a people need our mountains to remain whole and intact as Vermonters.

Many of my college peers were directly involved with climate change activism; aside from a handful of older scientists, writers and activists, today’s en vironmental movement (like most movements throughout history) is built by youth. If saving the environ ment really is my generation’s Sen eca Falls, Selma or Stonewall, why aren’t we all out there? My answer, in the simplest sense, is that activism doesn’t look the way I used to think about it anymore. Activism happens through voting, through writing, and by studying. The people on the street are im

portant, but so is everything else. Though I can still remember a long period of hearing that my peers and I were apathetic and apolitical, I don’t think anyone could accuse us of that these days. There is an incredible, thriving political youth culture in this country regardless of what po litical party you ally yourself with (or whether you support either of the parties.) Without the youth vote, Obama would have lost the election handily to Mitt Romney; without a substantial youth voice, the Tea Par ty would not have rallied itself into becoming a major player in the 2010 midterm elections or the 2012 gen eral election. The climate movement is interest ing because it’s not necessarily parti san, and though its organizers borrow heavily from the past, it doesn’t quite look like the old activism either.

It sends a message that oil and coal companies are outlaws whose very business imperils the planet. And as with divestment out of apartheid — an action that Middle bury trustees took in 1986 — di vestment sends a message that the endless production of fossil fuel is in some ways immoral. That’s because if these com panies’ fossil fuel reserves are burned, global chaos will be the result.

To be followed by the gigantic upheaval of life all over the globe. Within the lifetimes of today’s college students, unless we change course right now — unless we fully invest our creativity, our dol lars and our will to stop pumping so much carbon from fossil fuels into the atmosphere — chaos will be the result. Divestment is a powerful way to say it’s time to turn away from the climate cliff. Before we go over it. *** Finally, a word about the recent passing of Ana MartinezLage. Ana was a friend to many of us here. A member of the Middlebury College Spanish language faculty, she died much too young last week after living for some years with breast cancer. As college President Ron Liebowitz noted in his mov ing remarks at Ana’s memorial service, she brought a friendly de termination to her work and helped pioneer new ways to teach foreign languages. An inspiringly loving mother to her two daughters, Ana was, for all who knew her, a bright shining light.

George Washington called for peace commissioners and 13,000 federal troops to go to stop that war.

funding based on the number “equalized pupils,” not the number of actual students. The tax rate is determined by per pupil spending, so the more students a school enrolls while still keeping costs down, the lower the per pupil spending, which in turns lower the tax rate. Per pupil spending is usually determined by the state over a twoyear average, but anytime the student population increases by at least 20 kids, the average is accelerated and the lower per pupil spending is applied right away. So, even though Leicester counts 71 students in its enrollment, the state counts 63 equalized pupils and

bases its funding on that number. The state counted 60 equalized pupils in Leicester for the current budget. That said, Leicester’s state funding is projected to rise based on the increase of three equalized pupils, %"!#F@#,)(4#3-3+4*'#0,"=#?CFA'G@D#!"# ?CB@'CFH.#I"-1/47#?DHH'FGG#"0#!/(!# is state money, and $252,709 is local tax money, but it all goes into the same pot and is then doled back out by the state. All of this means that Leicester still has to provide services and supplies for more students than the state uses in determining revenue. At the Leicester School, there are

four teachers and two principals that split a parttime position. That principal setup makes it so the <"(,&#&")*#%"!#/(5)#!"#3(7#<)%)$!*. But Carroll said that Leicester taxpayers are getting plenty of bang for their buck, citing the fact that Leicester School was one of few area schools to make Adequate Yearly Progress in state testing last year, despite a high number of students who live in poverty. “That is a testament to the fact that we’re doing it right, even though we’re doing it on a shoestring,” Carroll said. “Our teachers are doing a great job.”

as well. And, of course, three years into the economic recovery from re cession, more and more people have lost their jobs and have had to take jobs that pay less. Many have lost their homes and are now renters. Still others are merely young people who are unable to earn and save enough money to own a home. Whatever the reason, there will al ways be a market for rental housing. Unfortunately, with the investment of a rental property comes the crap */""!#"0#$%&+%1#(%&#2))3+%1#,)*3"% sible, paying tenants. It’s a time consuming process that involves a certain level of trust, but Brickell said he doesn’t think Brandon land lords are choosy enough about who they rent to. “A lot of these issue stem from peo ple the landlords brought in,” he said. “Do your due diligence. Do back ground checks on people. Call former

landlords, check court records, crimi nal records. These are public records, and it costs nothing but maybe the price of making copies.” Even if a more involved back ground check ends up costing the landlord some money, Brickell said it’s a small price to pay in the face of legal fees for an eviction and costly repairs to a rental property. “It’s money well spent prior to renting to a bad tenant,” he said. “You’re a property owner, and you have to treat people fairly, but you (4*"# /(5)# !"# 3,"!)6!# 7"-,# $%(%6+(4# investment.” EASIER SAID THAN DONE Bryan Jones has owned rental properties in Addison and Rutland counties for 35 years.

And Jones has had tenants who were drug dealers. :;#/(&#"%)#!)%(%!#(%&#!/)#!,(0$6#+%# and out made it obvious what he was doing,” Jones said. “I told him I was going to call the cops if he wasn’t gone by the weekend. He left.” While he agrees with Brickell that the best offense against bad tenants is a good background check, Jones admits he could do a better job in that area. “I’m sure I don’t do a thorough enough check,” he said. “I understand being careful about who you rent to, but as a landlord, you have to be able to pay the bills.” said that means that sometimes renting to a questionable tenant is bet ter than having an empty unit. “So if at some point you have to say ‘Yes’ to someone who’s a bad choice but the best choice you have, you do it,” he said. “Sometimes, it works out, sometimes you get stiffed. It’s easy to say ‘Screen your tenants and make good choices,’ but those people don’t have these bills to pay.” That said, James said he tries to get as much information from a potential tenant as possible, including previous landlord and employment informa tion going back at least three years. But James also said that potential renters can play fast and loose with the facts, using relatives with differ ent names as references and lying about their employment and income. Patrick Riordan is a landlord in Rutland and treasurer of the Vermont Rental Property Owners Association, an organization with 290 member landlords statewide. He agreed that background checks are the best way 0",# 4(%&4",&# !"# $%&# !/)# <)*!# !)%(%!*.# To that end, the VRPOA starting of fering members discounted credit checks on potential tenants. Riordan said more so than drugs, the biggest challenge most Vermont landlords face is the eviction law, which makes getting rid of a tenant a long, drawn out and expensive pro cess. Riordan said on average, it takes 0"-,#!"#$5)#="%!/*. “It handcuffs the landlord,” Rior dan said of the eviction process. “If a tenant refuses to move, it can be four ",# $5)# ="%!/*# &-,+%1# 9/+6/# !/)7# don’t pay rent, on top of the legal ex penses the landlord has to pay.” Riordan said the VRPOA is work ing with legislators to streamline Vermont’s eviction law. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR People are inherently curious (i.e. nosey) and Brickell said that vigilant neighbors to buildings where there is suspected drug activity have a responsibility to share information with local police. “There are things that people see when we aren’t there,” he said. “And they have to take a stand and say, ‘This is not OK and I don’t want this in my neighborhood.’” But he added that fear of retalia tion is a major deterrent to most peo ple sharing information with police. Brickell said for the most part, that fear is unfounded. “That’s the biggest drawback and we deal with it all the time,” he said. “A lot of the time, it’s unrealistic. If you allow someone to intimidate you and that someone is allowed to con tinue their criminal behavior because of that, that is equally bad, so what do you have to lose by contacting the police?” Bryan Jones said he believes apa thy, not fear of retaliation, is the main reason why most neighbors don’t report drug activity. “Most people just ignore it, but I don’t think they’re worried about retaliation,” he said. “I think most people think, ‘Live and let live.’ I think people look at (drug activity) as a victimless crime, but it trickles down to kids and drugs lead to other crimes. It’s NOT a victimless crime.”
