By ANDY KIRKALDYVERGENNES — Vergennes al-

dermen this past Tuesday settled on a $1.85 million bond amount to re-quest from voters on Town Meeting Day to fund construction of a new North Main Street police station.That amount includes $229,000

to buy the 0.75-acre former Ver-gennes Auto Sales parcel (a lot that is assessed by the city at $117,800), $21,000 to buy more land to the rear

and side of the parcel, site work, construction costs for a roughly 6,000-square-foot building, and a $50,000 contingency fund.Alderman Renny Perry, a member

of the council-appointed committee studying the new station, told alder-

Police battles a recent increase in residential bur-

Safety, or DDACTS, as the process and the technol-ogy are called, takes up-to-date crime statistics and presents them on interactive maps. VSP barracks

commanders, like Lt. Gary Genova in New Haven, use this timely and visual information to produce what they say are better strategies for combating crime and improving safety on local roads.“The hope of DDACTS is to go from being re-

active to being proactive,” Genova said.

By XIAN CHIANG-WARENMONTPELIER — At a pre-

hearing conference last Wednesday, the Vermont Public Service Board pushed back on Vermont Gas Sys-tems’ preferred schedule for its pro-posed natural gas pipeline. The PSB told VGS that its schedule

for the pipeline, which would bring Canadian natural gas through Addi-son County to custom-ers in Vergennes and Middlebury and also to International Paper in Ticonderoga, N.Y., was too aggressive.The pipeline’s route

from Chittenden Coun-ty through Monkton has been the subject of heated dispute in re-cent weeks. Eleven Monkton res-

idents and the town’s recently enlisted law-yer, Joshua Diamond

Diamond & Robinson, attended the confer-ence.Local opposition to

the pipeline began in Monkton in early De-cember, when it became known that VGS had changed the route the pipe-line would take through Monkton and Hinesburg. Its original proposal had the pipeline running down the VELCO electric power line corridor, but the route submitted to regulators at the Public Service Board (PSB) had it going down the public right-of-way on Pond Street and Monkton Road in Monkton, and Baldwin Road in Hinesburg. After weeks of public out-cry, VGS on Jan. 25 released a state-ment promising to move the pipeline back to the VELCO corridor.At last Wednesday’s pre-confer-

ence hearing in Montpelier, VGS proposed to move forward with its

pipeline project according to sched--

by Feb. 28. Among other things VGS planned to hold a hearing on Feb. 25, schedule a site visit for the week of

party status by Feb. 28.The board rejected that schedule

and asked VGS to come up with a new schedule by Feb. 8. The PSB set the date of the hearing for March 21 and the dead-line for party status to March 29. The board also in-

formed VGS that it would not conduct a site visit until “after mud season,” accord-ing to Jennifer Baker, one of the 11 Monkton residents who attended the gathering.As far as controver-

sial energy projects go, VGS’ pipeline wasn’t

agenda.“(The PSB) in-

formed Vermont Gas that their docket is in

line behind the Vermont Yankee (nuclear power plant) relicensing hearings currently under way, which are keeping them quite busy,” Baker said.Though not all residents are sat-

pleased with the conference’s out-come.“What we wanted was to push

the schedule back,” said selectboard chair John Phillips. “That occurred. It will make it a lot more manage-able, because it gives us a chance to look at things and consider when or how we would want to intervene as a town.”

Pipeline set to serve city by 2015

By ANDY KIRKALDYVERGENNES — Representa-

tives of Vermont Gas Systems Inc. told Vergennes aldermen on Jan. 29 that natural gas — which they said is a cheaper form of en-ergy than oil, propane and elec-tric heat — will be available to most, but not all, city residents by 2015.By then, Vermont Gas Vice

President Tim Lyons said, the company should have its Cer-

Vermont Public Service Board (essentially a state permit), will have worked with Vergennes of-

city streets to run pipelines, sur-veyed residents and marketed the product to them, and built the de-livery system in Vergennes.Lyons repeated the company’s

oft-stated claim that natural gas is a cleaner, less costly fuel: He stated that it is now 43 per-

By ANDY KIRKALDYVERGENNES — At the Vergennes

City Council meeting last Tuesday, Jan. 29, aldermen made a decision on a future police station proposal and talked with Vermont Gas Systems about its plan to bring natural gas to the city.In other business, al-

dermen: -

er Mel Hawley the au-thority to sign a Letter of Intent to buy power from a proposed so-lar array that could be installed on privately owned area land by

Redevelopment. Hawley said the

deal could save the city $16,000 or $17,000 a year in en-ergy costs to start with, an amount that could increase over the deal’s 20-year

on city land for a solar array, but En-

was possible. A search for a suitable alternative site is ongoing, he said.

-fenstein that the city’s recreation com-mittee was moving ahead on planning

for a “toddler park” that it hopes can -

Hawley that what was going to be a grant application for planning for a North Main Street sidewalk extension from the Agency of Transportation is now an applica-tion for funds to pay for an exten-sion. The city is seeking $100,000, to be matched by $25,000 locally, to extend the sidewalk from Vergennes Redemption to Champlain Discount Foods. Some funds will be used to study the feasibility of extending the

PSB pushes back on Vermont Gas schedule for Monkton pipeline

But not all homes will have access to natural gas

cent cheaper than oil, and that the equipment used to burn it does not require annual maintenance. The Vermont Gas pipelines, he

said, will serve “the majority of the Vergennes community.”However, because the delivery

system is by pipeline, not truck, the fuel has never been available to all customers, Lyons said. According to the

economics work best when Vermont Gas serves concentrations of smaller lots. A preliminary city map that Ver-

mont Gas presented to the Public Service Board did not include, for example, the Panton Road trailer park operated by the Addi-son County Community Trust or a stretch of High Street between Comfort Hill and MacDonough Drive. City Manager Mel Hawley said

he believed the High Street omis-sion was just a paperwork error, but thought Vermont Gas should consider extending service to the 73 homes in the trailer park.

Some at the meeting, including one park resident and Alderwom-an Ziggy Comeau, a Panton Road resident who lives near the park, thought the company was not be-ing fair. “I just feel there are people

who are going to be discriminated against,” Comeau said.Lyons said the

draft, and that the company would review everything as the project pro-

ceeded. But he made no promises. “Our commitment is we’ll go

back and look at all these,” Lyons said. “But there is an economic limitation … It’s going to drive up the rates if we serve un-eco-nomic projects.”Lyons said the company pays

to homes and smaller businesses, and that favorable lease deals that include no up-front costs are available for those who want to convert their existing furnaces or boilers to burn natural gas.

“What we want-ed was to push the schedule back. That oc-curred. It will make it a lot more manage-able, because it gives us a chance to look at things and consider when or how we would want to intervene as a town.”

CORRECTION: In our Jan. 28 article updating new programs, plans and personnel at the Bixby Memorial Library in Vergennes, the library’s new hours were incorrectly stated. Effective this month, the Bixby will be open on Monday until 7 p.m., not 8 p.m. as had been the case;; on Thurs-day until 7 p.m., two hours later than

previously;; and on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., opening one hour earlier than previously.Also, the name of the Henry Shel-

don Museum of Vermont History was misstated, and the Sheldon is not di-rectly involved in a Bixby project, al-though a Sheldon archivist is helping on a grant-funded Bixby effort.

For the record

“I just feel there are people who are going to be discriminated against.”

Common sense, action needed on nation’s gun laws

Newtown, Webster, Albuquerque. These are where shootings occurred just in the past month that involved assault weapons that left many dead, including some very young children. Maybe Newbury, Websterville or Albany, Vt., someday. Think about it. Hey, I thought this was only some-thing that happened elsewhere. My cousin lives in Newtown, Conn., and I have a friend in Chardon, Ohio,

classmates last year. Folks, it could happen anywhere!When are we going to, as a nation,

really do something about gun vio-

lence? Every time something like this happens we all ring our hands and la-ment it, but very little ever gets done. Banning the sale of assault weapons, ammunition clips and the number of guns owned would be a good start. Why does our governor refuse to take the lead on this issue? New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, had the courage to do something. Why are

past week were the nuances in tone from each side: compassion to ease the suffering of loved ones was the predominant message and feeling of those who supported the legislation;; a more strident argument against the moral affront the bill poses dominated the testimony of those opposed.Vermonters rightfully perplexed by complex feelings about this issue

Those who view the legislation as an act of compassion most often relay actual circumstances when a patient is in the last stages of death. Immense pain is often a factor, requiring heavy doses of morphine or other drugs that

Like many who oppose extending individual rights to others, their position is that such laws would create a slippery slope of legislation gone awry, opening up the possibility for abuse and — at the height of their paranoia — for the state government to assume control of such decisions and dictate that choice for all. It is an argument based on unfounded fears.There have, however, been valid questions and good responses. How

can we be sure that a prognosis is terminal? How can the law assure family members are not putting pressure on a patient to choose death over life for

that decision is made? During the past decade, the legislation has added measures to prevent abuses, including: patients would have to be diagnosed by two physicians as being terminally ill with a prognosis of death within six months;; patients with depression or other mental disorders would not be eligible;; all patients opting for assistance from a doctor to help end their lives would have to be enrolled in palliative care or undergo a palliative care consultation.

chance to rescind the request. To avoid family pressures, the request by the patient has to be signed by two witnesses who are not relatives of the patient or another acting physician. Nor does the proposed legislation require doctors to participate. Any doctor

may choose to opt out of having to make the diagnoses.In his testimony in front of the Senate Health Care and Judiciary

Committees this past week, Attorney General Bill Sorrell said the legislation has been tweaked over the years to protect providers, the patient and the families and sets a solid foundation for patients to make informed choices. “I think the right to make an informed decision about the end of your life

when you are terminally ill and you have all of your faculties about you, the option to be able to make that choice,” Sorrell said, “is a simple one — I think it’s a personal right.”That doesn’t mean that others who hold differing views are wrong in their

beliefs;; just that those beliefs should not infringe on the beliefs of others. It also poses this fundamental question to senators who are expected to

face a vote within the next three weeks: What is gained by denying this choice? With their vote, who has been helped and who has been harmed?And while doctors throughout the state also have differing views, Dr.

Diana Barnard, a palliative physician based in Middlebury, summed up her testimony to the committees succinctly: “I want to do everything I can to alleviate people’s suffering and I think this bill can do that.”What is the harm in that? What is the value in denying that choice to

others? That’s what the Vermont Legislature must answer.Angelo S. Lynn


Transportation needs hard for state to fundVermont’s transportation sys-

tem has faced some extraordinary challenges in recent years, with four federally declared disasters

followed by Tropical Storm Irene. This year we face different trans-portation challenges — both chal-lenge the Transportation Fund. One more imme-diate and another reach-ing far into the future. Long Term challenge:As Vermonters drive

less and shift to more

state revenues from gas taxes have declined steadily. Combined these state fund reduc-tions with federal un-certainties — highway trust funding and federal transportation reauthori-zation reduction possi-bilities — you can begin to understand Vermont’s long-term transportation funding stability is seriously at risk.A summer funding study com-

mittee worked to determine the annual gap between available state transportation revenue and the cost to meet basic transportation needs. The reported Vermont gap is esti-mated at more than $240 million per year, each and every year. The needs estimate includes the cost to preserve the state’s existing trans-portation system in a state of good repair. It assumes that preserving the functionality of the road net-work is fundamental to meeting basic travel needs of people and goods. It does not include major roadway expansion beyond proj-ects already in the pipeline.Short term challenge:

2014 transportation budget pre-sented by the governor assumes the Legislature is able to identify a revenue package that enables Vermont at maximize all it’s avail-able federal funds. Federal formula

funds require a state dollar match. If Vermont is unable to provide its match, then federal formula funds must be returned and projects de-layed and/or suspended. The additional funding needed

to fully fund the proposed FY2014 transportation budget program is

$36.53 million in state funds. Without action, we place at risk our abil-ity to match all the avail-able federal transporta-tion dollars and would require cutting $123 mil-lion in projects from this coming years budget. The agency has pro-

posed the following to achieve the immediate funding gap :

FERRISBURGH — Lake Cham-plain Maritime Museum’s Maritime Research Institute is exploring an ex-citing new way to study historic shipwrecks and to share them with the pub-lic. Vermont Public Tele-vision on Sunday, Feb. 3, aired an on-water tour and interview with LCMM Executive Co-Director Adam Kane on the show “Out and About.” The Maritime Mu-

seum’s archaeological dive team visited a Lake Champlain shipwreck to test new mechanical scanning sonar technol-ogy supplied by Teledyne BlueView of Seattle, Wash. The operation took place during the sum-mer of 2012, thanks to a grant from the National Center for Preserva-tion Training and Technology of the National Park Service, and the VPT crew followed up with a visit to the Museum’s Maritime Research Insti-tute in January.

The Teledyne BlueView BV 5000-2250 is a tripod-mounted device that takes millions of individual sonar

readings and displays the results as a three-dimen-sional (3D) point cloud. Lake Champlain Mari-time Museum used this technology to make a de-tailed examination of the Sloop Island Canal Boat which sank off Charlotte

the 20th century.

supplied by Teledyne BlueView, LCMM ar-chaeologists deployed the BlueView to more than 40 locations around, on and within the wreck site. At each of these po-sitions the sonar was able

to capture accurate 3D images of the shipwreck, which were then assem-bled into a detailed 3D model of the entire wreck. This composite image, consisting of 35 million data points, allows the remains of the Sloop Is-land Canal Boat to be examined in a

completely innovative way.Detailed archaeological drawings

of the shipwreck site were originally created by LCMM archaeologists after more than 300 dives in 2002 and 2003, employing traditional

In contrast, data gathering with the new technology in 2012 took only three days. This new technology of-

submerged cultural resources in great detail in only a fraction of the time it would take for archaeologists to document them using traditional

and drawing.Maritime Museum archaeolo-

gists will continue post-processing the newly captured data and mak-ing comparisons with their original

plans to exhibit images captured by this technology in their Nauti-cal Archaeology Center during the 2013 season. The museum will also produce a manual outlining best practices for the use of this technol-ogy by other archaeologists in the spring of 2013.

MIDDLEBURY — Anyone who has ever been involved in community theater will identify strongly with the maxim “If anything can go wrong — it will.” That’s exactly what happens in the comedy “Play On!” which will be presented by the Middlebury Com-munity Players at Town Hall Theater on Feb. 14-17.Dora Greven directs this uproari-

ous play within a play. A theater group is trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interfer-ence from the haughty authoress who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal,

-mance in which anything that can go wrong does.When the authoress decides to give

a speech on the state of the modern

theater during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap cli-max of the thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter.Included in the cast are Kevin Com-

mins, Kendra Gratton, Raymond Johnston, Megan Kelley, Ark Lemal, Mike Lynch, Tom Noble, Robynn Stanley, Kathleen Walls and Matt White.Shows are Thursday-Saturday, Feb.

14-16, at 8 p.m., with a Sunday mati-nee on Feb. 17 at 2 p.m. The Sunday matinee will have American Sign Lan-guage interpretation. Tickets are $17, available at the Town Hall Theater

to 5 p.m., 802-382-9222, or online anytime at www.townhalltheater.orgFor more information visit www.

He told the Indepen-dent in a past interview that he was holding off on submitting his selectboard petition for candidacy while trying to ascertain whether he could retain some of his planning commission duties. “I’ve poured my heart and soul

into this thing for three years,” Per-lee said at the time, adding that he believed that vacating his seat at this time would be a “disservice to the town.”

second D-I foe in two nights, winning at Brattleboro, 46-43. The Otters led almost wire-to-wire, going up by nine in the second period on hoops by Frazier, Bloomer and

TIGER FRESHMAN LAUREN BARTLETT clears the puck past North Country defender Jenna Moss Friday in Middlebury.


Tiger girls start strong, fall to NCU, 3-1

The Tigers broke through at 6:44. They won a faceoff in the left-wing circle directly back to Viens at the cen-ter point, and she shot toward the right side of the net. There, Howlett tipped it solidly inside the post. Afterward, Coach Howlett agreed

the Tigers’ play dropped off a bit af-ter that score, even if they still carried most of the play and defenders Becker, Best, Bartlett and Viens continued to shut down most of the Falcon rushes. “You’re either going to … and

move forward and keep pounding, or

not going to work, and you let in three unanswered goals the second half of the game.”

Bernier crossed from the right-wing circle to Moss at the left post, and she one-timed it in;; Ryan had no chance. The Tigers had a couple

great opportunities. Doran made the save of the game, sliding to her left to deny Howlett on a cross-crease pass from Boe. Doran also stopped McLaughlin and Best from the slot as the Fal-cons held on for the two-goal win.Coach Howlett said the Ti-

gers have the ability to start converting their opportuni-ties. “We just have to be a little

bit nastier in front of the net,” he said.And Howlett believes the

Tigers will get a lift once they do break through against a top team. “We talk about game like

this. There are four teams above us in the standings, and of

against teams that are above us,” he said. “We’ve got to learn that we can beat teams like that, and I think one of those victories will certainly go a long

we get closer to the postseason.”

Community Chorus concerts will explore music old and newMIDDLEBURY — The Middle-

bury College Community Chorus announces a new season to pre-pare for concerts on Mother’s Day weekend, May 10 and 12. Regular rehearsals are Sunday and Tuesday evenings from 7-8:30 p.m. in Mead Chapel on the Middlebury College campus. Rehearsals begin Sunday, Feb. 10, at 7 p.m. Singers are wel-come to join the chorus through Feb. 26;; participants should plan to attend at least one rehearsal each week.The chorus will explore a mix

of music old and new for its an-nual Mother’s Day weekend per-formance. The main work on the program is baroque composer An-tonio Vivaldi’s splendid “Gloria!” From past performances they re-prise two works with rich choral songs by award-winning American

composer Morten Lauridsen, “Sure on This Shining Night” and “Di-rait-on.” They introduce American composer Emma Lou Diemer’s delightful “Three Madrigals” on texts of Shakespeare. The program will close with an upbeat dynamic setting of traditional texts titled “Sing a New Song” by Ron Staheli, director of the choral program at Brigham Young University.

Jeff Rehbach has served as di-rector of the community chorus since 2000. He also leads the Ver-mont Choral Union, based in Essex Junction, and previously conducted the Middlebury College Chamber Singers. Timothy Guiles returns to the chorus as accompanist this season. Guiles also accompanies the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Chorus, and has served as musi-

cal director or accompanist for musical theater groups across the state including the Valley Players, Middlebury College Music Depart-ment, and Middlebury Community Players.The Middlebury College Com-

munity Chorus welcomes all inter-ested singers to join the ensemble. Numbering nearly 100 singers, the group is open without audition to

all singers who can follow a musi-cal score. Its members travel from throughout the region to participate in this 150-year-old community tra-dition, hosted by Middlebury Col-lege. For more information, check on

the web at http://go.middlebury.edu/communitychorus or contact direc-tor Jeff Rehbach at 989-7355 or manager Barbara Merz at 443-5356.

up a meeting with Gov. Peter Shum-lin, who must decide who serves in Clark’s place during this biennium.But Castimore made Shumlin’s

task easier on Thursday when she told the Addison Independent that she was dropping out of the race for “personal reasons,” primarily related to an already very busy schedule. In addition to running her own organic vegetable farm in Waltham, Casti-more is a longtime promoter/partici-pant in the annual Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival that raises

cancer. And she is lead coordinator of the Vergennes Community Food Shelf that is based at the Vergennes Congregational Church, where she is a parishioner.Castimore added she wants to

make sure to have enough time to help her parents, who are in their golden years.“While I would love the opportu-

nity to serve my neighbors in a po-litical capacity, now is not the right time for me,” said Castimore, who wished Van Wyck all the best.Van Wyck was surprised to hear

of Castimore’s decision, but compli-mented her on her initial willingness to serve in the Legislature.As of Friday morning, neither

Castimore nor Van Wyck had been scheduled for an interview with Shumlin. The lack of movement in the appointment process, according to Van Wyck, has led to concerns among some constituents in the Addison-3 district, which includes the communities of Ferrisburgh, Addison, Vergennes, Waltham and Panton. At this point, Rep. Diane Lanpher, D-Vergennes, is the lone representative for the two-seat dis-trict.Van Wyck, 60, is a senior project

analyst with the University of Ver-mont and has lived in Ferrisburgh since 1978. He and his wife, Jea-nette, have six children — all of

whom live within the Addison-3 dis-trict. While Van Wyck has not previ-

he has, through the years, been ac-tive in youth and adult church ac-tivities and in his children’s school functions.He joined the UVM staff 25 years

ago, after having worked for seven years at what is now known as UTC Aerospace Systems in Vergennes.In his cur-

rent job, Van Wyck focuses a lot of attention on converting many of UVM’s documents from paper to an elec-tronic format.

that Vermont is losing many of its high school and college graduates to other states where jobs are more plentiful.“We have an excess in regula-

tions,” said Van Wyck, who is con-cerned that wages are not keeping pace with the rising costs of state government.On the issue of health care, Van

Wyck said he is not a fan of the state’s movement toward a single-payer health care system. It is a transition that Van Wyck said is full of too many unknowns and that is prompting some physicians to leave the state.Van Wyck is

pleased, how-ever, with the state’s increas-ing move toward more freedom of choice in pub-lic education, and he favors a system in which education dol-

lars follow the student to whichever school he or she attends. He praised Shumlin’s recent calls for boosting technology in schools and sees the potential for increased collabora-tions between UVM and research-and-development companies.The Ferrisburgh Republican is

also concerned about increasing re-ports of crimes, particularly burglar-ies, in his district. With that in mind, he said he would support more crime

-ment of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Vermont

Paquin announced that beginning Feb. 5, USDA will issue pay-ments to dairy farmers enrolled in the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program for the Septem-ber 2012 marketings. The Ameri-can Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the authorization of the

Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) through 2013 for many programs administered by FSA, including MILC. The 2008 Farm Bill exten-sion provides for a continuation of the MILC program through Sept. 30, 2013. MILC payments are triggered

when the Boston Class I milk price falls below $16.94 per hundred-weight, after adjustment for the cost of dairy feed rations. MILC payments are calculated each

month using the latest milk price and feed cost. As announced by FSA on Jan.

22, all dairy producers’ MILC con-tracts are automatically extended

therefore do not need to re-enroll in MILC. MILC operations with approved contracts will continue to receive monthly payments, if available. The payment rate for September

2012 is approximately $0.59 per hundredweight. The payment rate for October 2012 marketings is approximately $0.02 per hundred-weight. The payment rate for No-vember 2012 marketings is zero. Before the October MILC pay-

ment can be issued, dairy farmers must complete a new Average Ad-justed Gross Income (AGI) form for 2013. The new form, CCC-933 Average Adjusted Gross Income

to Disclosure of Tax Information,

must complete by producers be-fore they can receive payments for a variety of programs adminis-tered by FSA and USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. Producers may obtain CCC-933 at their local USDA Service Cen-ter or online at www.fsa.usda.gov/ccc933. Dairy operations may select a

production start month other than October 2012. Producers who want to select a production start month other than October 2012

between Feb. 1 and Feb. 28, also known as a relief period. FSA will provide producers with

information on program require-ments, updates and signups as the information becomes available. For more information on MILC,

Poverty is the focus of Vermont Folklife Center’s new exhibitMIDDLEBURY — The Ver-

mont Folklife Center on Friday, Feb. 8, from 5-7 p.m. will host an opening reception for “Parallels,” a photo-documentary by Libby Hillhouse of Ryegate at the Center’s Vision & Voice Documentary Workspace in Middle-bury.Pairing photo-

graphic portraits and text drawn from inter-views, Hillhouse de-scribes this exhibit as an expression of love for the world of which everyone is a part.As she explains, “In

many Vermont com-munities there is a population of people living below the poverty

-

nomic crisis, more and more of us have moved into the arena of ‘low income’ by virtue of events not in

our control.”“‘Parallels’ is my

attempt to offer an intimate view into the lives of some of our low-income resi-dents,” she contin-ues. “The courage and outlook of those who make their way through these circum-stances mirrors, in wonderful ways, the lives of most middle-income people. I want to offer an opportunity for them to tell their stories, be heard, seen

and, ultimately, known. Our lives may, indeed, be parallel. The un-fortunate reality is that parallel

lines do not meet.” Hillhouse is a graduate of the

School for International Training’s

Cultures program as well as a teacher for Speakers of Other Lan-guages. She has lived and taught English in both Israel and the West Bank. She is also the past direc-tor for Kids4Peace, an interfaith cross-cultural program for peace. Currently she is based at the Com-munity Restorative Justice Center in St. Johnsbury with the prisoner re-entry program and is a guardian ad litem in Juvenile Court. Working for social justice and

cultural understanding have long been passions for Hillhouse, as has photography. This project is a blending of both of these interests, drawing together the intimacies of personal lives within the tension of social and cultural separation.“Ultimately, I want people to

view these photos, read the vi-gnettes and come away with a new sense of this community as some-how more whole,” she said. “It would be a bonus if we began to say hello as we pass on the street or even sit awhile to chat.”

I have lots of energy and will need lots of exercise. I enjoy nice long

walks and fun playtime in the play yard. I will need for my new owners to

provide me with leadership and a good routine. A good, basic obedience

course would be right up my alley. I’m loving and loyal, and I aim to

please, but I will need some good structure to start with. Once I bond

with you, I will make a wonderful friend!

I adore people so much that I am working on my separation anxiety.

I’m learning to like my crate when people are around, but when left

alone for too long, I get anxious. I adore the company of other dogs, but

I’ve no experience with cats or young children.

deserving of a loving and trusting home. Come meet me today and see

what a special girl I am!

What a handsome boy! I’m Simon, one of the several wonderful

dogs here at the shelter. I’m a young, exuberant pup, but I’m

smart, loyal, and have lots of potential to learn commands.

Because of my young age, I have lots of energy and would

leash. I would be a great hiking dog, and I will make someone a

great companion if you have the time to train and work with me.

I’m working on my manners, and I aim to please so I’ll be a quick

learner.

I don’t mind other dogs, but I may chase cats to play. I also

am working on my jumping so young children may not be for me.

I’m a sweet boy with a big heart who just needs some guidance

and patience to guide me through my young years. Come meet

me today and see what a special and handsome boy I am!

spot trends.

For the past year and a half, troopers at the New Haven barracks (as well as those in St. Albans, Bradford and Roy-alton), have been testing DDACTS. The system was due to go live at all

last Friday.The system allows troopers to sub-

mit reports to a database that then pres-ents information on burglaries, thefts,

on a map. It also provides reports that show, for instance, what times of day and what days of the week burglaries are happening. This gives Genova and other VSP

managers better information to spot trends and assign coverage. For ex-ample, Genova said that when they could see that there were a cluster of reported break-ins in the Orwell area last fall, he assigned troopers to carry out more patrols in the area, which re-sulted in a decrease in such crime in that area.Unfortunately, he acknowledged,

greater enforcement often moves the crime to another area, and the past month has seen an increase in burglar-ies in the northern half of the county. Nevertheless, Genova has a lot of hope for the system.“It is helping us get away from

randomly doing enforcement so you can do purpose-driven enforcement,” Genova said. This can include spotting where

break-ins have been occurring, theo-rizing where they might occur next, and then assigning troopers to drive

-

troopers go from point A to point B in

“If a resident sees cruiser after cruis-er going down their road, they should be reassured,” Genova said.Here’s how the system works. Ev-

ery two weeks managers at the bar-racks look at the trends, develop a plan to counter those trends and then deploy the troopers to carry out that plan. After two weeks, they look at the results, determine what has changed

If the data shows that a problem hasn’t cleared up, efforts will be re-doubled.“We’re staying there until we see an

impact,” Genova said.

Force Commander for the VSP, said the fact that the system overlays crime data and motor vehicle crashes onto a map of Vermont is crucial.

component,” Goodell said. “From a law enforcement perspective it is easier to process information from a map.”Not only do maps allow troopers to

spot new trends, but they also verify trends troopers may have suspected but could marshal the data to prove, Goodell said.“We suspect there are more burglar-

ies in this area, but now we can follow up and show it,” he said.As its name implies, DDACTS also

addresses a second important role of -

in vehicle crashes is inclement weath-er. But Genova said that state police

a few days before the bad weather is forecast to hit and get people to slow down,” he said.PUBLIC REPORTS

An important aspect of DDACTS is that the maps showing recent crime,

public online at www.crimereports.com.Police hope that allowing the public

to see exactly how many crimes have been reported and where will give citi-zens factual information and a realistic perspective on the level of crime.“Crimereports.com … puts to rest

the rumor mill for things so that there isn’t over-reporting,” Genova said. Over the trial period, police said

they had to work out some kinks in

the system.“We were making sure the data we

get is the data they can use,” Goodell said.Goodell said VSP leaders under-

stands that this has introduced new procedures and, to some extent, a new

“It’s a little bit of a change in the culture in the way we operate,” he said.Goodell said the new system didn’t

cost anything because it goes through the crimereports.com website, al-though the VSP did have to do a little bit of training and get a little bit of help from the Vermont Information and Analysis Center.Genova said that the VSP continues

to cooperate with municipal police departments and the sheriff’s depart-ment, as well as with civilian repre-sentatives from as many of the area towns as are willing to take part. This IT system is yet another resource to help all of the constituencies coordi-nate their activities

“I can’t emphasize enough how im-portant it is to work with other depart-ments,” Genova said. The local VSP hosts a Community

Advisory Board meeting at the New Haven barracks once every three months. Genova said the DDACTS system has given him another kind of information to share with community members who come to these meetings and it enriches the discussion. Every town in the New Haven barracks’ cov-erage area is invited to send represen-tatives to these Community Advisory Board meetings, and Genova said at-tendance has been good. More than 20 people came to last month’s gathering, and 27 or 28 came to the fall meeting.Goodell was very positive about

Genova’s engagement with the com-munity, and he said DDACTS will help Genova, and other commanders, better communicate.“It allows him to tell people why

he is doing things the way he is doing them,” Goodell said.

Jochum has organized a Commu-nity Crime Forum that will be held Thursday, Feb. 7, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Addison Central School. The intent of the forum is to have

an open discussion about crime in Addison and throughout the county, to brainstorm ideas on how resi-dents can help law enforcement and themselves to be more aware, and to determine if community members want to start a neighborhood watch

program and what that might look like. Representatives of the VSP, Addison County Sheriff’s Depart-ment, Vergennes Police Department

committed to attend and participate. Anyone who wants more infor-

mation is asked to contact Jochum

MIDDLEBURY — Alison R. Byerly, former Middlebury pro-vost and a member of the faculty at the college for 24 years, has been

-ette College in Easton, Pa.A nationally recognized scholar,

Byerly is one of the nation’s most prominent thought leaders on the role of technology in higher educa-

president of Lafayette, which was founded in 1826.“I am delighted that Alison

Byerly will be our president at this important point in the college’s his-tory,” said Edward W. Ahart, chair of Lafayette’s board of trustees and a 1969 graduate of the college, in making the announcement. “A vi-sionary leader, she has broad expe-rience and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities for undergraduate colleges now and in the future. She has a collaborative, open and communicative style and brings great passion and humor in addition to enormous energy and enthusiasm.”Byerly, who served in leader-

ship positions at Middlebury for 13

years, holds an interdisciplinary ap-pointment as college professor. She is on leave as a visiting scholar in literature at MIT during the current academic year.“I am greatly honored to be cho-

and excited by the opportunity to lead such a dynamic and am-bitious institution,” said Byerly. “As an undergraduate college that encompasses both the traditional liberal arts and a strong engineer-ing program, Lafayette provides an extraordinary range and depth of opportunities to students, yet it

remains deeply committed to the highly individualized, one-on-one mentoring that is the hallmark of the residential liberal arts college.”Middlebury College President

Ronald D. Liebowitz praised Byer-ly’s appointment at Lafayette. “Alison was so effective at Mid-

dlebury because she had strong principles that guided her decision-making and was skilled at seeing the larger picture and long-term

always the popular, conventional or easy path,” he said. “Probably few provosts of liberal arts colleges have engaged as many proposals for innovation and change as she has. Her broad range of experiences will serve her very well as president of Lafayette.”Marna C. Whittington, chair of

Middlebury’s board of trustees, said, “Alison takes a thoughtful ap-proach to the broad challenges fac-ing higher education today while also paying extraordinary attention to detail. She always works in a collegial and personable way that encourages dialogue and collabo-ration. She understands well the shared governance process and has worked very effectively with the board in these challenging times to identify the right priorities for Mid-dlebury’s future.”

It’s against the law to discriminate when advertising housing related activities.

Particularly on sites like Craigslist.

And it’s easier to break the law than you might

think. You can’t say “no children” or “adults only.”

There is lots you can’t say. The federal government

is watching for such discrimination.

Let us help you sift through the complexities of the Fair

Housing Law. Stay legal. Stay on the right side of the

nation’s Fair Housing Law.

Monkton hosts a chili potluck MONKTON — The Monkton Community Coffeehouse will host the fourth annual Chili Cook-off on Saturday, Feb. 9, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Monkton Firehouse. There is a suggested admission

price of $5 that also enters Four

$25 winners will be drawn at the end of dinner. All proceeds raised at the event will be used by the Coffeehouse to sponsor Front Porch Forum in Monkton. “The Chili Cook-off has been so

successful,” said Jonathan Corcoran,

president of the Coffeehouse, “that we’ve literally outgrown the

feeling is it’s time to change the nature of the event. Since everybody clearly loves chili, we’re going to stick with that. But we’re going to skip the restaurant competition and the judging and turn it into more of a local social.”Participants are encouraged to

prepare enough of their favorite recipe to feed four people. The chili needs to be brought in a pot for the dining table (no plug-ins available). Tables will be set in advance and neighbors will share their chili at the table where they are seated.

The Coffeehouse will provide the tableware and drinks. The Monkton Community

Coffeehouse board decided to organize this year’s Chili Cook-off as a fundraiser to bring Front Porch Forum (FPF) to Monkton. The board has studied FPF’s email service and believes it will stimulate greater interaction and more connections between neighbors in Monkton. Monkton Talk, the Coffeehouse’s weekly e-newsletter, which now reaches almost half of the households in town, might better serve as the town’s electronic newspaper. Currently, Bristol, Starksboro, New Haven, Vergennes and Middlebury have FPF.FPF is an online service that

helps neighbors connect and build community. Founded in Burlington in 2006, FPF currently hosts local online forums in 85 towns throughout Vermont. People use the site to track down a lost dog, recommend a good source of cordwood, organize help

babysitter, debate the school budget, report a break-in, and much more. More than 45,000 households in FPF’s coverage area use the service to tune into local conversations. For more information, go to FrontPorchForum.com.
