School contractreaches stillwaterTeachers feel angry, under appreciated

By Alice [email protected]

BRISTOL — Talks between the Addison Northeast Super-visory Union (ANESU) school boards and the teachersunion have stalled, and there are no positive signs that ei-ther side will soon return to the negotiating table.

The impasse is the result of an intense contract negotiat-ing process that left both sides dissatisfied with the out-come. At issue were teacher salaries, automatic pay increas-es (or “step increases”) the percentage that teachers con-tribute to their health insurance plan, and a requirementthat teachers work an extra hour per week to attend staffmeetings. The school boards represent five town elementaryschools and Mt. Abraham Union Middle/High School.

At the start of the negotiating process, the school boardsproposed a 3.5 percent decrease in teacher salaries, in linewith the cuts imposed on state workers this year. They alsoproposed to end step increases, which are not currently ne-gotiated as part of the compensation package, and theyasked teachers to increase their contribution to their healthinsurance plans to 20 percent, up from 10 percent, in linewith what the State of Vermont has requested of school dis-tricts statewide. They also asked for an additional hour ofwork time per week to attend meetings.

The teachers union originally proposed a 5.5 percentsalary increase, continuing step increases, no changes to the10 percent insurance contribution and no extra work/meet-ing time.

Compromises were hammered out and the final contractoffer from the school board reduced the health insurancecontribution from 20 percent to 15 percent, with an averagewage increase of 2.5 percent this year, the elimination of au-tomatic step increases in the future, and a half hour of ex-tra work time. The union declined, and all six district boards

Habitat for Humanity Addison Countyhelps turn dreams into reality

By Alice [email protected]

MIDDLEBURY — Sometimes a home ofyour own, and the security a new dwelling— a comfortable, safe place to call your own— can be a springboard to a whole newlifestyle.

Habitat for Humanity of Addison County(HFHAC) has been offering a fresh start anda new home to qualifying Addison Countyfamilies since 1997, when a group of inter-ested citizens formed a steering committeeto investigate community interest in startinga local chapter of the organization.

Middlebury College student JenniferJensen, then president of the college chapterof Habitat for Humanity, based her thesis onthe housing needs in Addison County. Shediscovered that upwards of 21 percent of

homeowners and nearly 40 percent ofrenters were paying more that 30 percent oftheir gross income for housing and that al-most 5 percent of the housing in AddisonCounty was deemed substandard by HUD(the U.S. Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment). Jensen decided to explorewhether there was local interest to form anaffiliate of Habitat for Humanity to addressthese issues. After 18 months of workingthrough the steps leading to affiliation Habi-tat for Humanity of Addison County wasready to begin its first project.

To date, HFHAC has built five houses inAddison County. The process begins by ad-vertising in the local media, followed by theselection of a family meeting the basic crite-ria: they must live or work in Addison Coun-ty, they must be living in unsuitable, over-crowded or unsafe housing; they must beable to pay the no-interest mortgage; andthey must be willing to partner with Habitatfor Humanity. Families are required to

provide a modest down payment and pro-vide at least 200 hours of “sweat equity”work per adult by helping with the con-struction and finish work.

Habitat for Humanity homes are built byvolunteers, although contractors may behired for specialized work such as electricaland plumbing. Donations of money and ma-terials make their mission possible andHFHAC is currently undertaking a capitalfund drive to raise funds to underwrite thepurchase of land in Cornwall with the po-tential to develop four lots. They are work-ing with Cornwall’s Planning Commissionand hope to obtain assistance from an af-fordable housing fund to reduce the cost ofthe lots, thus reducing the sale price. The av-erage cost of a Habitat home in AddisonCounty is about $100,000.

The first HFHAC home was constructedon a lot near the Addison County Commu-nity Trust trailer park on Rte 116 in Bristol.The lot was offered by Elizabeth Ready, thedirector of the Trust, for the cost of closing.They selected a couple with five children liv-ing in a cramped trailer in Starksboro. Therewere some difficulties with the financing ofthe trailer, which was mortgaged for morethat it was actually worth, but HFHAC wasable to work with the couple to sell it andwith some creative financing they were suc-cessful in attaining an affordable mortgagefor the new home.

Today, the family raises chickens, turkeysand pigs on their lot. The older children havejobs, and HFHAC says their mortgage

checks arrive each month with a thank-younote or a piece of art work from the children.They are deemed a “shining example of suc-cessful HFH homeowners.”

“When people have a sense of place, a lotfollows,” said Margaret Carothers, a found-ing member of HFHAC and one of the orig-inal board members. Carothers has beenwith HFH since the first meeting, and bothshe and her husband Peter have served two-year terms as president.

Robin Bentley is a single mother of twoyoung children who was living in a small,cramped apartment in Middlebury. Al-though she had a good job, she did not makeenough to afford a mortgage payment, yetshe made just a little too much to qualify forstate assistance. In addition, she had somecredit issues due to recent life changes.

“I always felt, as an applicant, that therewere human beings at Habitat,” she said ina recent conversation. “I had the opportuni-ty to explain my circumstances.”

Bentley eventually became a member ofHabitat’s board and is currently a memberof the family selection committee. Becauseof her own experiences with Habitat, she un-derstands how important it is to families tohave a nice home of their own.

“We dream of a house for our kids,” shesaid. “We want a decent home to raise themand have birthday parties.”

Habitat houses are built with energy effi-ciency in mind, in order to help reduce en-ergy costs in the home.

“We used to wear out coats in the apart-ment,” Bentley said. “We had electric heat.”Her new home has radiant heat and is verytightly insulated.

Bentley is also convinced that the 200-

hour sweat equity requirement is a hugebenefit.

“As a person who had never swung a ham-mer, it was a little overwhelming,” she said.“I’d go over every Saturday and put in mysweat equity. Seeing the walls go up — it

was like holding a part of something in myhand. It’s also given me confidence — now,when something breaks, I think ‘you can dothis Robin.’ I have to do it myself or hiresomeone. Every day, still, I thank Habitatand I thank God.”

The United Methodist Church’s volunteer construction crew in front of HFHAC’s most recently con-structed the home in Middlebury.

Be Sure To Say You Saw TheirAd In The Eagle! Thanks!

Parents have beenthirsty to ask mequestions about

how they can tell if theirinfant or young child isgetting dehydrated due toa stomach virus or otherillness. Well, let me see if Ican fill up everyone’sknowledge tank withsome information on thistopic.

Dehydration occurswhen your body lacksenough water and bodysalts to keep it working right. When severe, this condition canresult in life-threatening situations such as convulsions anddangerous heart rhythms. You normally lose water when yousweat, urinate, and even breathe, but you can lose more thannormal if you have a virus that makes you throw up, causesdiarrhea or increases your sweating due to a fever. We nor-mally drink enough liquids to replace the water we lose everyday, but if a virus makes us feel nauseous we may not want todrink enough to stay hydrated. People who have been out inthe heat too long or who are doing vigorous athletic activityare also at risk for dehydration.

So what are some signs of dehydration? Older children maytell you they are thirsty (which is actually a late sign that de-hydration is under way, not an early one) and may also ap-pear lightheaded, dizzy or tired. Their lips or mouth may ap-pear dry and they may complain of a rapid heartbeat as well.Infants may also show dry lips, lack tears when they cry, havesunken eyes, or a very sunken soft spot on the top of theirheads. You might also notice a decrease in the frequency andthe amount of urination for at least six to eight hours.

So what should you do if your child feels sick and doesn’twant to drink?

Instead of forcing lots of fluids all at once, give your childsmall sips once or twice an hour.

Don’t give large amounts of soda or other caffeinated bev-erages since caffeine can make you want to urinate more, justwhen you need to be holding on to fluids.

If your infant is able to breastfeed and is only experiencinglosses due to diarrhea, continue to breastfeed since that cankeep your baby well hydrated.

Eating popsicles is another great way to get fluids intoyour child to hydrate them if they don’t want to drink butcheck with your child’s doctor to see if more fluids than whatis contained in a popsicle is needed to help your child over-come dehydration

When do we worry? If your child is not holding fluidsdown, has no urine for eight to 12 hours, and feels dizzywhen they stand up, then seek medical attention. Your doctorwill want to examine your child for why the dehydration isoccurring, and rarely may recommend rehydrating your childwith an intravenous saltwater solution.

Hopefully tips like this will dry up all your concerns whenit comes to knowing more about whether or not your childmay be getting dehydrated.

Note to lady whowrote me onFacebook:

I always treat January asa hibernatory, reflective, in-looking month. It’s aboutslowing my heartbeat andprojecting positivethoughts on the future. Ofcourse, I try to do thatevery day, but, with Janu-ary being cold, dark, andfor me slow regarding trav-el and shows, it’s a perfectmonth to soak the carcass,stoke the stove, trim the toe-nails, smoke a cigar, and smileas much as I can ... if only to set the tone for the rest of theNew Year. So! Time to boil water (Ma got me two great teacups and saucers, normal sized ones, not big, very delicate,over sizing is so 2000s) and make some mint tea. Add a bitof honey, and get some work done, in that order, and maybetake a break and find something in the house to take to thegive-away bin at the dump.

Hope you’re doing well, even though we don’t reallyknow each other.

Note to my buddy, a former roommate from my NYCdays, after he’d visited this for a couple days just beforeChristmas:

Well, the tree is down, man. Took er down yesterday.The thing is, we put it up the 18th, you came, Holly came,Christmas and New Years came, and BANG, it’s as if it allnever happened. Think of a way to slow time and you’rericher than Bill Gates. So strange. I think when we’re youngwe don’t care about things passing fast, they just pass andwe let em, we just let them pass. Now we’re older and wewant recently passed moments to stay with us, and be freshevery time we think about them. So really time doesn’t goby faster, we just want to hold on to more of it. SOMEPHILOSOPHICAL STUFF, HUH — I look at where the treewas and it’s as if it never was

Be good, Sambo, rd.It’s January, the Rodney Dangerfield of months. The first

week or so we’re stoned on year-end festivities, holidaysand that. We’re putting stuff away and getting back in ourgroove, such as our groove is. Then mid-January, andthough a day’s light lasts a little longer, it’s cold, or damp,or snowy, or rainy, and uninspiring, or all the above. Thenwhat seems like a never ending list of days leads us to Jan.31, and the long month of January is over, as if it never hap-pened. January, for yet another year, is forgotten.

February is short and has lots of holidays. President’sDay, Valentine’s Day, Charles Dicken’s Day, yup, no kid-ding. February is Black History Month and is the month theplanet Pluto was discovered. And, of course, every fouryears February gives us leap year. February has personality.

March usually is the month we get our largest amount of

snow, so if you like snow, you like March. Then, too, Marchcan give us the first signs that spring will once again arrive,so if you like spring, you like March. And Dr. Seuss wasborn March 2. That, and that the word march is just a coolstand-alone word, gives March more “cool month” votesthen January, without even trying.

So see, January (I know, Martin Luther King Day is inJanuary, and no offense to Mr. King, but that holiday startedsince I’ve been alive, so it doesn’t seem as pure as the realold ones), holds nothing much special beyond its ability tosweep past so fast it doesn’t allow time for us to becomebored with it. BUT. And this is a big BUT here. Hahaha, justcracked myself up. Whoa, just did it again. Big BUT —cracked — haha. Anyway, back to the point. BUT, January tome is important. I love it. Beyond what I said in the firstnote on top of the column, January is as pretty a month asany.

January’s light harkens historical figures hunting andgathering and eating food cooked over a raw fire inside aglowing cabin. Mmmm, venison stew with carrots from thegarden, and tea, and soda bread for desert. That was then,this is now.

January, even in 2011, is beautiful. This morning iceformed on the needles of the pines, and the branches thathold the leaves, not the branches that hold the branches thathold the leaves, which is important to make clear cause thebranches that hold the leaves are thinner and at the farreaches of the trees, and when iced look interesting, andperfect, and beautiful … almost fake. Almost fake.

January might be my favorite month. It’s there for you totake a rest. So you should. Rest this January. If you missanything it won’t matter, because you won’t remember Jan-uary anyway. It happens way back in January.

With the statehouse awash in ambitious schemes toenlarge government, expand the tax base, deliverever more services, increase dependency, and im-

pose new mandates on businesses, one major avenue of realreform is chronically overlooked: repealing the ideas of yes-teryear that didn’t work, proved counterproductive, or weredownright destructive.

Here's a selection of candidates for repeal from amongMontpelier’s long roster of mistakes.

This highly touted Challenge for Change scheme for clos-ing the state's annoying general fund budget (Act 68 of 2010)has one success to its credit. It allowed Sen. Shumlin, SpeakerSmith and Gov. Douglas to share a photo op announcing thecoming solution of the FY2011 budget problem.

The budgeteers dutifully booked the declared “savings”and headed home to be reelected. Most of the projected $38million in “savings” got lost somewhere along the way. Thisis especially true in education, where the Commissioner couldonly plead with school districts to stop spending money so hecould meet his Challenge for Change targets.

Repeal this foolishness and launch a real performance re-view, as promised in the 2004 Democratic platform butpromptly forgotten in 2005.

The 2006 legislature passed, and Gov. Douglas dutifullysigned, a feel good law (Act 168) to put Vermont in the fore-front of the titanic battle against the Menace of Global Warm-ing. It mandates a state action plan to lower our greenhousegas emissions to an astonishing 50 percent of 1990 levels by2050. Achieving this goal will necessitate job-killing emissionsquotas, mandates, taxes, cap and trade schemes and prosecu-tions.

Attorney General Jerry Brown of California, now Governoragain, used an almost identical statute (AB 32) to threaten tostop new factories that would emit greenhouse gases. Ver-mont attorney general William Sorrell has pointedly refusedto say that he won’t do the same thing to stop growth in Ver-mont. Repeal this incipient monster before it drives business-es out of the state and kills many of the good jobs we haveleft.

Act 48 of 2009, a Shumlin favorite, pressured the Milk Com-mission to mandate subsidies to dairy farmers, price controlson grocers, and price increases on mothers buying milk fortheir children. Repeal this milk tax authority before newShumlin appointees, unlike Douglas’s, impose this schemewithout a vote of the legislature.

Act 160 of 1992 included a provision strongly favored byGov. Dean and physicians, to send medical malpractice casesto arbitration. Unfortunately the law directed this to happen

only when a sweeping healthcare “reform” plan was inplace. That effort crashed inflames in 1994. Repealing theeffective date languagewould bring this needed re-form to life.

Act 62 of 2007 gave the keyto the education fund to anyschool district that wants tolaunch a preschool program.The universal preschool lawwill produce no identifiableand lasting educational bene-fits, charge the taxpayers foruniversal day care, put severepressure on independent day care and early educationproviders, and offer no true parental choice. Repeal this costlymonument to false claims and focus early education on theten percent of kids who will actually be helped by it.

Act 2 of 2005 put Vermont into the Illinois-sponsoredISaveRx drug importation program. The Illinois governorboosting it was impeached and removed from office, the pro-gram was shut down in 2009 for waste and drug safety con-cerns, and Vermonters long ago forgot it existed. Repeal it.

Act 160 of 2006 declared that the general assembly must ap-prove before the Public Service Board can issue a certificate ofpublic good for the continued operation of a nuclear powerplant. This year, a majority of legislators may well vote Ver-mont Yankee off the island, regardless of the serious economicconsequences. Repealing this language in Act 160 would be afar better choice.

Even Vermont’s Supreme Court has hammered Criterion 10of Act 250 of 1970, requiring a development applicant to con-form to vague and aspirational town plans. Repealing “townplan” in favor of “approved zoning bylaws” would removethis arguably illegal roadblock to development.

Finally, repealing the words “age and” in the health insur-ance laws (Act 160 of 1992), to again allow insurance compa-nies to charge premiums based on age-related risk, would bea valuable step. This assumes, of course, that the Gov. Shum-lin and the Democratic legislature fall short of making healthinsurance illegal altogether.

This is, of course, only a sampler. After forty years of evermore enthusiastic liberalism, there is lot more.

taught me how to read,” he said.His reading teacher never gave up on him.“I share that part of my life today because

we are living in difficult times and we needto be creative to overcome our challenges,”Shumlin said. “After several years of mak-ing necessary but painful spending cuts, weare still confronted with a $150 millionshortfall in the next fiscal year.”

Balancing the state budget is only one as-pect of Shumlin's proposed economic over-haul. Job creation is another.

“Vermont’s diversified jobs future isbright. Manufacturing, deployment andproduction of renewable energy and effi-ciency, tourism, technology, and agricultureare all sectors of our economy with potentialfor unlimited growth.

Shumlin announced a new initiative —Connect VT — which promises high-speedInternet access and cell service throughoutVermont b 2013.

“If not confronted, our connectivitydeficit will relegate us to an economic back-water,” he said.

Health care reform is also on Shumlin'sagenda, given the ever-increasing costs toresidents and businesses. Those costs for thestate have doubled, from $2.5 billion to morethan $5 billion, in 10 years.

“That's why we must create a single-pay-er healthcare system that provides univer-sal, affordable health insurance for all Ver-monters that brings these skyrocketing costsunder control,” Shumlin said.

Shumlin reinforced his commitment to ed-ucation and its importance to Vermont's eco-nomic future.

“It should be the policy of the state of Ver-mont that learning never ends,” he said.

“Working together in a partnership with oureducational community we will close thegap between those Vermonters who wantwork and our job creators who have work todo.”

Shumlin said agriculture in Vermont haspotential for growth and that state officialsshould work with the Congressional dele-gation to support fair prices for dairy farm-ers, since Vermont produces more tan 60percent of New England's milk. There arealso market opportunities for Vermont-made food.

“The renaissance in Vermont agricultureis rooted in the growing concern by con-sumers across America about where andhow their food is produced,” he said. “Con-sumers are increasingly demanding locallygrown, chemical-free, high quality food. Wemust take Vermont’s strengths — buy local,farmers markets, farm to plate, VermontFresh Network restaurants — and expandour view of local to everything within 200miles of Vermont, which includes Manhat-tan, Boston, and Montreal. Investing in pro-cessing and bottling facilities, combinedwith a dynamic marketing effort for Ver-mont quality foods, will bring our farmersthe value-added price that they deserve fora hard day’s work, and they will prosper.”

Supporting entrepreneurs, according toShumlin, is one key to job growth, butemerging enterprises and businesses firstneed access to capital and credit.

“We must take this program to levels notimagined by its creators,” he said. “EB-5gives us a vehicle not only to raise essentialcapital, but also to spread Vermont’s stellarreputation from one end of the globe to an-other.”

MONTPELIER — RuralVermont officials are excitedto hear Gov. Shumlin an-nounce that he supports “arenaissance in Vermont agri-culture.”

Rural Vermont’s farmermembers from across thestate stand ready to workwith the new administrationwhenever their visions for asustainable, local and vi-brant agricultural economyintersect.

In light of the governor ’sacknowledgment that “con-sumers are increasingly de-manding locally grown,chemical-free, high qualityfood,” Rural Vermont’s ex-ecutive director, JaredCarter, explained that “Ver-mont should focus onachievable steps to meet thatdemand for safe, healthy lo-cal food and farm products.While we cannot change theglobal economy in whichVermont must operate, wecan eliminate unnecessary

regulatory burdens andopen markets to Vermontfarmers.”

From addressing prohibi-tions against on-farmslaughter and value-addedproduct regulations totweaking the raw milk lawto increase its effectiveness,Carter said there are numer-ous opportunities for thenew administration to real-ize its goal of using agricul-ture as an economic engineof growth in Vermont.

“There is simply no reasonwhy a farmer who wishes tosell value-added productsshould need a law degree inorder to understand the reg-ulations.” Carter said. “Intrying economic times, itmakes sense to focus on re-forms that are common-sense and not costly.”

Rural Vermont officialsbelieve that “if we focus onachievable regulatory re-forms, Vermont can createmillions of dollars worth of

economic opportunity forfarmers without the need toinvest vast sums of limitedstate resources.”

Rural Vermont standsready to open a new chapterin the history of farming inthis state.

“Whether doing so re-quires protesting in thestreets, advocating in thehalls of the legislature or lit-igating in the courts, we areprepared to work tirelesslyfor economic justice, astrong local agricultural sys-tem and vibrant communi-ties in Vermont.” Cartersaid.

Rural Vermont is a non-profit advocacy groupfounded by farmers in 1985that advocates, activates,and educates for living soils,thriving farms, and healthycommunities.

ContractFrom page 1

voted unanimously to impose the contract, which they can legally do for up to one year.Lanny Smith, chairman of Mount Abe’s school board and chairman of the negotiating

team, feels the school board’s offer is fair and that the board has negotiated in good faith. “This isn’t against the teachers,” he said. Instead, it’s a reflection of current economic

conditions — the taxpayers can’t afford to continue to pay what the teacher ’s union is ask-ing for. “Lots of schools have settled for smaller increases in salary in order to avoid cut-ting positions.”

A final public meeting held last week did not bring any resolution. Although it was wellattended, one observer felt that the attendees were mainly teachers and their families andfriends, and that the general public was not well represented at the meeting.

“Message to the school boards: At some point, somebody has to say ‘enough,’” saidStarksboro resident John Jefferies, who attended the meeting.

Between 75 percent and 80 percent of all school expenses are for personnel; primarilysalaries and benefits. Consequently, there is a direct relationship between growth in teachercosts and property taxes.

On the other side of the table, the teachers feel equally frustrated with the process andthe outcome.

“Obviously it’s a slap in the face,” said Heather Parkhurst, the union’s chief negotiatorand a calculus teacher at Mt. Abraham Union High School. “The teachers are angry and feel-ing very underappreciated. It’s unfortunate that the board and the public don’t get that.”

Superintendent Evelyn Howard is also disheartened with the current situation and saidthat the boards are concerned that the process remains respectful, and that they highly val-ue the teaching staff of all the schools.

“We wouldn’t have wanted this, and I’m hopeful we can move forward,” said Howard,adding that she hopes the teachers will take some time to consider their choices, which areeither accept the imposed contract or call for a strike.

Parkhurst said a strike would only be called with the intention of bringing the schoolboards back to the negotiating table. However, Howard and Smith are both hopeful that theteachers will accept the imposed contract and move forward with the next round of nego-tiations targeting June 30, the end of the fiscal year.

“We want to start again as soon as we can and move on,” Parkhurst said.

Ross named Ag secretaryMONTPELIER — Shortly after Gov. Peter Shumlin

moved into the office space atthe Pavilion Jan. 6, he namedCharles “Chuck” Ross, of Hines-burg, as the new secretary of theVermont Agency of Agriculture,Food & Markets.

For the past 16 years, Ross hasserved as the state director forU.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT).Prior to that appointment, hewas a farmer and legislator fromHinesburg. He served six years in the Vermont State Leg-islature, including a stint as the chair of the House Nat-ural Resource and Energy Committee. Ross, 54, has alsoserved on the Board of Directors at Shelburne Farms; onthe Advisory Board of the Rubenstein School of Envi-ronment and Natural Resources at UVM; and as an ad-visory member of the Vermont Council on Rural Devel-opment.

DouglasFrom page 1

When Douglas contemplated run-ning for governor in 2001, he outlinedhis reasons for wanting to serve in thatoffice.

“I love Vermont,” he had written. “Iwant every Vermonter to reach his orher highest potential. I want everychild to begin life in good health, witha loving family, and eager to learn. Iwant every young Vermonter to be ableto access a higher education and to se-cure meaningful and rewarding work.I want families to be able to afford ahome and ultimately to enjoy retire-ment in comfort and dignity ...”

Douglas said he carried that piece ofpaper with him every day.

“This vision was at the center ofevery discussion, every proposal andevery decision. My inspiration neverchanged. My motivation never wa-vered.”

Of his four, two-year terms as gover-nor, Douglas said he is most proud ofhealth care reform, community safety,

environmental protection, and thestate's economy and fiscal strength.

“Over the last eight years we foughtback against two global recessions, in-cluding the deepest downturn sincethe Great Depression. We did that withfiscal discipline and innovative eco-nomic development strategies to en-courage employers to expand here andothers to locate here. We renewed ourcommitment to our traditional indus-tries by helping those who keep ourworking landscapes working. Weleveraged our natural gifts in supportof our tourism economy and helpedVermont businesses realize greater ac-cess to emerging foreign markets. Wetook steps to make our permitting sys-tem more predictable and our tax poli-cies more competitive.

“Vermont’s brand of quality, our de-served reputation for a well-educatedworkforce and our commitment to en-vironmental excellence make this agreat place to start or grow a business.”

As he prepared to hand over “thereins to a new administration,” Dou-glas wished Gov.-Elect Peter Shumlinand his team “the very best,” and he re-flected on 38 years of state service be-fore heading home to Middlebury forthe last time as Vermont's 80th gover-nor.

“I’ve focused all of my energies on asingular purpose — to make Vermont abetter place. Across thousands ofmiles, through bright morning dawnsand days that stretched to night,though sometimes weary, I never lostfaith in the promise of Vermont. And asthe long arc of my career draws close,I look back and know with all certain-ty that our state and her people havebeen most worthy of a life’s work.

“In the years to come, as I pass overthe high gaps of the Green Mountainsand take in the full breadth of Vermont— from its clear flowing waters up toits majestic crowns — I will be foreverthankful for this land we call home.”

Birdsey to speak onthe ‘Living School’

MIDDLEBURY — Tal Birdsey, educator and graduate ofthe Bread Loaf School of English, will speak on “Living,School, Living Words,” at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 16 at IlsleyPublic Library in Middlebury.

Birdsey will read from the manuscript of his “in-progress”second book tentatively titled, “Living School,” and throughanecdotes discuss the idea of what a living school looks like.Each anecdote centers around a poem which was read inclass by a student, and the ensuing revelations/discus-sions/meditations. The poems at the center of the stories are"The Woodpile," by Robert Frost; "When Death Comes," byMary Oliver; and "Why Log Truck Drivers Rise Earlier thanStudents of Zen," by Gary Snyder.

Birdsey is the head teacher of North Branch School in Rip-ton. His first book, “A Room for Learning — The Making ofa School in Vermont,” recounted the formation of the school.

For more information contact the library at 388-4095 orwww.ilsleypubliclibrary.org

LINCOLN — On Jan. 18, Lincoln residents will be askedto vote on a $2 million, 20-year bond to pay for improve-ments to the Lincoln Community School building.

The School Board will hold a public meeting on Jan. 13 topresent the plan and the financial implications if the bond ispassed. Approval of school renovation is required from theState Education Commissioner in order for the cost of a proj-ect to be excluded from a school’s per pupil spending ratio.Lincoln’s original plan, presented to the state in November2010, was not approved largely due to the fact it includednew construction that increased the school’s footprint. Boththe state and many Lincoln residents felt the original planwas too expensive and not sensitive to the current econom-ic environment.

The final plan is limited to repairs and upgrades necessary

to ensure the safety, structural integrity and cost-effectivemaintenance of the building. This revised plan has been ap-proved in its entirety by the Education Commissioner.

Playing into the timing of Lincoln’s vote is the availabili-ty of a new, federally backed school reconstruction bond pro-gram which could save the town hundreds of thousands ofdollars in interest over the life of the bond if an applicationis made by March 2011. According to a spreadsheet provid-ed by ANESU, if a bond were secured under this federal loanprogram, Lincoln residents would experience a dollaramount tax increase equal to approximately 0.1 percent oftheir appraised home site value.

The public meeting about the bond vote to will be held at7 p.m. in the LCS multi-purpose room. Childcare will beavailable. For more information, call (802) 453-3540.

MIDDLEBURY — The Addison CountyRelocalization Network (ACORN) has re-leased a study titled “The 2010 StrategicPlan for the Addison County Local FoodsCollaborative” which explores how thecounty can continue to grow the localfoods market and significantly expand op-portunities for its growers and processors.

Addison County is the largest market forlocal foods per capita in the state of Ver-mont. The plan’s 10-yeargoal is to grow the localfood market from a cur-rent estimated 5 percentshare to 15 percent. Thereport highlights threekey initiatives that willaccelerate that growth:1) launch a wholesaleproduce market to betterserve local institutionsand to build the critical mass needed forfood processing; 2) hire a Farm-to-Schoolcoordinator to coordinate local food pur-chasing, gardening and food educationprograms in the three core school districtsin the county, and 3) develop a Local FoodIndex to create a baseline metric for the lo-cal food market to be able to measuregrowth going forward.

Addison County is the leading agricul-tural county in Vermont. It is well-knownfor its dairy farms and a constellation ofimportant businesses like AgriMark andMonument Farms, Misty Knoll and Maple

Meadows, Sunrise and Champlain Or-chards. But Addison County is also hometo a regional brewery, a national cideryand two wineries, a regional meat proces-sor, producers of maple syrup, honey andartisanal cheeses and commercial growersof grains, fruits, vegetables and berries,not to mention grass-fed beef and pasturedmeats.

The local food market has also growndramatically thanks toincreased distributionthrough retailers like theMiddlebury NaturalFoods Co-op, Greg’sMeat Market and Moun-tain Greens as well aslots of restaurants andinstitutions like Middle-bury College, PorterMedical and county

schools that buy local. Jonathan Corcoran, who authored the

report, notes that “when you put the piecestogether, we have the beginnings of a ver-tically integrated, community-based foodsystem. I hope citizens will take the timeto read the plan and get involved in what-ever way they can, whether on the farm, inour schools or when they are buying food.This presents a significant opportunity forstrengthening agriculture and our commu-nities in the county. ”

The plan can be accessed through theACORN Web site at www.acornvt.org.

Ban began Jan. 1, free disposal starts July 1


MONTPELIER — In 2011, Vermont became the 24th statein the U.S. to institute an electronic waste (e-waste) recy-cling law, which will require all households, charities,school districts and small businesses to dispose of their elec-tronic equipment at designated drop-off spots throughoutthe state.

As part of the Vermont E-Waste Recycling Program, ad-ministered by the Vermont Department of EnvironmentalConservation (DEC), the state is partnering with local solidwaste management districts and businesses to offer free dis-posal of electronic waste starting on July 1, when electronicmanufacturers will begin paying for the collection and re-cycling program. Solid waste districts are currently subsi-dizing the costs of e-waste collections, and consumers may

have to pay a small fee to recycle most items, depending onthe facility.

Vermont created an E-Waste program because “electronicdevices contain toxic materials (including lead, mercury,and chromium) that should be managed responsibly as wellas precious metals (such as gold) that should be recoveredand recycled,” according to the DEC.

Americans now own about 24 electronic products perhousehold, according to the Consumer Electronics Associa-tion, and electronic waste is the fastest growing componentof waste. In 2008, Vermont solid waste districts collectedmore than 1.6 million pounds of e-waste. Of the 2.25 milliontons of electronic products ready for “end-of-life manage-ment” in 2007 in the U.S., 18 percent (414,000 tons) was col-lected for recycling and 82 percent (1.84 million tons) wasthrown out, primarily in landfills, according to the U.S. En-vironmental Protection Agency.

In 2003, California was the first state to pass an e-wasterecycling law. Other states with similar laws include Con-necticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Michi-gan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ok-lahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Caroli-na, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wiscon-sin.

By comparison, former Gov. David Paterson signed NewYork's electronic waste recycling law in the spring of 2010,requiring all manufacturers that sell electronic equipment inthe state to have a free, convenient electronic waste recyclingprogram in effect by April 1, 2011. Yet residents are notbanned from disposing their electronic waste at landfills un-til Jan. 1, 2015.

New Hampshire does not have a comprehensive e-wasterecycling law; however, the state has a law prohibiting thedisposal of video display devices (including CRTs) in solidwaste landfills or incinerators. Also, the State Departmentof Environmental Services is required to monitor the dis-posal of electronic waste. The law was passed in 2006 andtook effect July 1, 2007.

Face OffFrom page 1

Proceeds from the tournament benefit theCancer Patient Support Program’s (CPSP)Emergency Fund, which provides short-term, emergency financial relief to local pa-tients in need. This program addresses thehidden impacts that cancer can have onfamilies: those who, because of cancer, havelost their jobs and may lose their car orhome because they are in treatment; thosewho are too sick to work, or who have soar-ing medical expenses and limited co-pays;or those who have no insurance coverage.

The tournament was established in 1999,when a member of the Middlebury Otterswas diagnosed with breast cancer. Her sur-vivor story is now a success. The need forsupport continues, however: the AmericanCancer Society estimates that over 190,000

American women will be diagnosed withbreast cancer in 2011 — nearly 500 in Ver-mont alone. Both the Otters and Mystix areproud to include breast cancer survivors ontheir rosters.

Last year ’s Face Off Against Breast Can-cer tournament raised over $40,000, and theOtters and Mystix are hoping to break thatrecord in 2011. Members of the team are re-questing support in the form of individualplayer sponsorships online at www.face-offagainstbreastcancer.org, as well as busi-ness sponsorships in the amount of $25.

Donations may be sent to the Cancer Pa-tient Support Program (CPSP), c/o Face OffAgainst Breast Cancer/Cathy Chase, P.OBox 27, Middlebury, VT 05753; or contactthe tournament co-chairs to support a play-er near you: Liza Sacheli Lloyd ([email protected] or 802-443-3169); or CathyChase ([email protected] or 802-382-9469).

PLEASE HELP ! My children’s hearts are broken. Our Sunshine has been missing since November 23, 2010, the same day that our dog Shady staggered into our home bleeding from the head and mouth, dying from wounds inflicted by a hollow shell bullet. Its is bad enough to loose a member of our family but to never find the body of the other is cruel. Please help us put Sunshine to rest humanely with closure for my children and I, and so we know, at least in death she has the dignity she rightfully deserves. Sunshine is a german shepard/golden retreiver mix. Her color is brindle and she has a bobbed tail. We hope and pray still a friendly dog. Please help us have a New Year miracle. If you know of her whereabouts, please call us at 802-349-3489. Last seen at Silver Hill Road, Witherbee on the morning of November 23rd.

MIDDLEBURY — “What kind ofmusical is this?" said Little Sally,who finds herself in one of thestrangest and funniest Broadwaymusicals of recent years.

Following sold-out hits Gypsyand the Wild Party, Town HallTheater and the MiddleburyCollege Department of Music joinforces once again to present a bigBroadway musical. This year ’sshow is a hilarious look at a socie-ty that regulates even the mostbasic human functions.

That explains the title:Urinetown.

The show was the unlikely hitof the New York Fringe festival,and went on to a three-year runon Broadway and several TonyAwards. It explores a society inwhich “it’s a privilege to pee”,and satirizes just about every-thing – taxes, capitalism, corpo-rate greed, big government, and

just about everything else in theheadlines.

But the real target is theBroadway musical itself, asUrinetown parodies everything welove and hate about musical the-ater.

“The fun of this show is figur-ing out what musical is beingsent-up at any given moment,”said director Douglas Anderson.“There are references to LesMiserables and Fiddler on the Roofand Threepenny Opera and WestSide Story. It’s brilliant and very,very funny.”

Anderson directs for the thirdyear in row, along with musicaldirector Carol Christensen.They’re joined this year by con-ductor Greg Vitercik and choreog-rapher Schuyler Beeman ‘10.

“It’s great having Schuylerback,” Anderson said. The theatermajor graduated last year, a star

of many shows and an All-American swimmer as well. He’scurrently working as a profession-al choreographer.

Urinetown will be presented atMiddlebury’s Town Hall Theaterfrom Jan. 20-23. Performances areat 8 pm. Tickets are $10/$8/$6,and may be purchased atwww.middlebury.edu/arts/tick-ets or by calling 802-443-6433.
