Middlebury Director of Operations Dan Werner, also includes water and sewer upgrades on Charles Avenue and Water Street, along with paving proj(7$#% 5,"% +,"$.,-#% ,5% /,,$(%O$"(($@%_,?("%/,,$(%O$"(($%and the Painter Hills subdivision.This year’s work list is

substantially shorter than in recent years, Werner acknowledged. That’s in large part due to the spenddown of two major bond issues authorized around three years ago by voters for various road, water and sewerrelated projects.

Bristol runner moved by bombingBy JOHN FLOWERSBOSTON — Monday should have

been one of the best days in Meghan Lout’s life.The accomplished Bristol runner

was enjoying her third Boston Marathon under ideal running conditions with her mom, boyfriend and pals cheering her on.“The race was fantas

tic and it was a beautiful day,” Lout, 34, recalled on Wednesday. “It was a wonderful atmosphere.”That atmosphere was

shattered in the blink of an eye.About hour after Lout

had concluded the 26.2mile race in an impressive 3:02.42, two improvised bombs detonated, sending shrapnel into unsuspecting spectators near the !"#$%& '#"(& #"& )%(& %(*+)& ,-&Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. One of those bombs exploded into a bleacher area where Lout’s mom, Leona Florek, and boyfriend, Andy Jadrnak, had been sitting. Were it not for her stellar time, her loved ones could tragically have been among the three dead and more than 170 wounded.“It was like the world stopped

moving,” Lout said of the immediate aftermath of the bomb detonations, which she heard and felt about a block away while walking back to

her hotel.“I felt so sick.”Lout had run the race with a friend

“I was tired, but I felt good,” said Lout, who had grabbed some food and was looking forward to changing out of her sweatsoaked running attire. They started walking slowly back to their hotel when they heard two loud reverberations.“I looked at my boy

Lout and her companions made haste to their hotel, where people had gathered around TVs to watch the unfolding rescue efforts.“The race didn’t matter any more;

nothing mattered except what had just happened,” Lout said. “The devastation was heartbreaking. I can’t believe it happened.”But she was pleased to see the

stories of courage and heroism in the aftermath of the explosions. Lout was inspired by people who rushed to help the many injured people who were whisked away from the blast scene on gurneys and in wheelchairs.“It was very moving,” she said.Lout stayed the night at her mom’s

house in western Massachusetts. She and Andy returned to Bristol on Tuesday. She will continue her job as a wildlife biologist for the Waterburybased company WEST Inc.,

On the way he overheard a conversation that included the words “hysterical” and “blast.” So the family switched on their radio while loading their vehicle and heard some of the stunning details about the two bomb detonations and the carnage that ensued.Smith’s thoughts turned

to how his wife had been walking up and down the length of sidewalk within the blast zone just a few hours earlier.He also thought about how the

couple — both nurses — could have helped the many inured at the scene, had they been there.“We felt bad,” he said. “Maybe we

49, of New Haven — he ran 3:17:24 — also meant that he was nowhere near the spot where the blasts occurred. He and his wife, Lynda, also heard about the explosions on the car radio as they were getting ready to leave town.“It’s really, really sad

self less than a mile from )%(&!"#$%&'#"(&),&:%((+&-,+&%(+&%=$band but dared not get any closer to the 26mile mark because the crowds were already eightdeep where she stood.

The bombing has overshadowed individual achievements of runners from the winners right on down to those who ran simply to prove something to themselves, Scott Reiss said.“It’s sad for the people who did

so well to be forgotten,” he noted. Reiss, like the other local run

ners, said the tragedy at this year’s race would not keep him from going back to race at Boston to run the marathon again. And he thinks the fans will be back too.“People are going to come out in

a big way (next year) and support the race,” he said. “I know the running community will come back strong.”For Reiss, people along the

course cheering was in some ways more important for him this year than the time.“I really had fun with this race,”

Letters to the editor, columns, and editorials in recent issues of the Independent have criticized Vermont Gas Systems for trying to obtain approval of the Addison !"#$%"&'(")'*%+,-.#'/0#1+$#'"&&+/023')$45.0-2#'#06-'4+%'public consultation and revising the proposal in response to public concerns. One reason for this criticism may be that although Vermont Gas Systems has the word “Vermont” in its name, the gas company is really a subsidiary of a large Canadian energy complex that is owned by an interlocking network of pension funds and gas producers all across Canada.Vermont Gas Systems was estab

lished in 1965 to provide natural gas service to Franklin and Chittenden counties through a connection to the Canadian gas distribution network at the border at Highgate. The company operated independently for about 20 years. In 1986, it was purchased by Gaz Métro, the Montrealbased utility that distributes gas in much of Quebec, and through Highgate to Vermont. Gaz Métro continued to acquire Vermont utilities, purchasing Green Mountain Power in 2007 and Central Vermont Public Service in 2012. CVPS was then merged into GMP. Thus, Vermont’s largest electric and gas utilities are now owned by Gaz Métro.Gaz Métro started in 1955 as the Quebec Natural Gas

Corporation, a privately owned company established to connect Montreal and surrounding areas in Quebec to the North American gas distribution network, which at that time did not extend east of Ontario. Over the next decade, QNGC built out its network in Quebec, includ

ing the connection to Vermont. In 1969, as Quebec was emphasizing its French roots and the French language, QNGC changed its name to Gaz Métropolitain. In 1981, the government of Quebec began purchasing shares in the company, by then commonly known as Gaz Métro. By the mid1980s, Gaz Métro was completely owned by *-2)0+2'"27'028-)#6-2#'4$27)'"45&0"#-7'/0#1'#1-'9$-:-.'provincial government.Currently, Gaz Métro sits at the center of a complex

network of subsidiary and parent corporations. Gaz Métro is the sole owner of Northern New England Energy Corporation, which in turn is the sole owner of Vermont Gas Systems, Green Mountain Power, and the Portland Natural Gas Transmission System. Portland Natural Gas is also the subject of controversy in Vermont. Some environmentalists believe the company wants to export “dirty” tar sands oil from Alberta through its pipeline from Montreal to Portland, Maine,

which traverses Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.A minority interest in Gaz Métro — 29 percent — is

held by a publicly traded corporation named Valener Inc., whose shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

“I’ll be back, of course…”The tragic bombing at Monday’s Boston Marathon was senseless in all

respects. Three were killed and 176 wounded, at least nine of whom were critically injured. An eightyearold boy died; his mother and sister were severely wounded. A Boston University graduate student was killed, as was a 29yearold female caterer. Such random violence has its own strategic impact and, no doubt, the imprint on the lives of those most directly involved will last a lifetime. The incident also will be remembered for years to come on this anniversary — but probably not in the ways the assailant(s) intended.Yes, there were moments of terror. Yes, lives will be changed and

develop their properties in ways that undermine the health of the lake. Few landowners around any body of water would disagree with the intent. How that is achieved, however, could vary widely depending on scale and geography — and the legislation should be drafted accordingly. If storm water runoff from streetscapes and cities is a focus of concern

(and the waterfront around the greater Burlington area is certainly affected by this), then such rules should apply to the lakes affected. Larger bodies of water in the greater Champlain Valley and around Lake Memphremagog that are affected by urban and farm runoff, for example, face different issues than do lakes in mountainous areas surrounded on all sides by steep hillsides. An effort should be made to redraft the legislation with such distinctions.We would also hope the Legislature takes it upon itself to adopt a twin goal

unintended consequences such legislation could have, and look for ways to accomplish the same objectives through other means, such as lake associations and community involvement for the smaller lakes, rather than by state mandate and added bureaucracy.Finally, there is the issue of cost. It should be mandatory that the legisla

tion include a budget for implementing enforcement by the state. Perhaps if cost were part of the initial conversation, the scope of the legislation would be more pragmatic.

Today’s buyers are focusing their attentions on the ease, comfort, convenience and craftsmanship of a home’s details, features and amenities, rather than a home’s square footage, seeking out homes that fuse a modern professional atmosphere with the comforts of home and hearth. In the kitchen, the hottest new trends include separate prep sinks, elevated kitchen islands and smart refrigerators, as simple as a tripledoor design or as hightech as a fridge wired to have a television screen in its interface, or internet capability. Finished countertops or foldaway appliances like a bread machine, food processor or pasta maker are other cordon bleu accents that are simple, relatively inexpensive to install and add up to topdollar upgrades for a home on the market. Whether you choose to incorporate a moderate upgrade or indulge in a luxury touch, it’s these unique amenities that homebuyers are seeking out—not just the amount of square footage your home offers. By taking your home to the next level, you entice prospective owners, indulge the current residents of the home and add to the home’s longterm value over time.

pipeline project will save residents and businesses money. The repeated claims of savings in Vermont Gas testimonies and exhibits are based on just one piece of information — a Vermont Fuel Price Report from November 2012 when gas prices were among the lowest they have been since gas prices crashed in 2008. The critical omission is the context of these claims of cheap natural gas.Middlebury resident Jason Kaye

has noted that in the most recent Vermont Fuel Price Report for February 2013, the U.S. Energy Information Administration is forecasting the Henry Hub natural gas spot price average for this year to increase 28 percent from last year. Projecting into 2014, the report forecasts an increase of 40 percent from 2012, just two years. It is all but certain that gas prices will increase much more in future years eliminating most if not all of the potential savings that are being promoted.The second myth is that the use of

natural gas reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This conclusion is only possible when one focuses solely on the amount of CO2 released when gas is burned as compared to the amount of CO2 that is released when coal or oil is burned. The idea that installing infrastructure to burn more of this fossil fuel will reduce GHG emissions only works if we ignore the fact that studies have shown that up to 9 percent of the methane in gas wells leaks into the atmosphere during the life of a well. Being 100 times more damaging than CO2 initially, and about 20 times as dam

aging to the environment in the long term, this methane erases almost all )3%$*"%+)$"#$.0-%/-.!0$"%&"#"'$(%32)!%burning gas rather than coal or oil, according to Robert Howarth, et. al. in the June 2011 issue of Climate Change.Even the main point of the edito

rial, the suggestion that if the roughly $70 million that Vermont Gas ratepayers are being charged to fund this project were spent more wisely it would cost taxpayers money, misses the mark. The point that was overlooked is that ratepayers could have spent their money on energy "3'/."#/4%0#1%/)#("250$.)#%!"0(,2"(%on their own homes and this would make a much greater impact on reducing emissions that the proposed pipeline project, all at no cost whatsoever to the taxpayer.The editorial goes on to suggest

that renewable energy sources are not competitive and can’t compete in the marketplace without government subsidies. The reality is that without the subsidies that they currently receive, the fossil fuel industry would not be able to compete with renewable energy. Unsubsidized renewable energy is already cheaper than electricity from newly built and (,&(.1.6"1%/)0-7%0#1%80(7'2"1%+)9"2%stations in Australia, according to #"9%0#0-4(.(%32)!%2"("02/*%'2!%Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

Setback standards needed for Vermont Gas pipelineOpen letter to Vermont Gas:Over the past several months

representatives of Vermont Gas have painted a rosy picture of the highpressure, industrial gas transmission pipeline slated to run through the town of Cornwall on its way to International Paper in the neighboring state of New York. Though the transmission gas line is funded by International Paper and likely utilized ()-"-4%3)2%$*"%&"#"'$%)3%$*.(%!0((.5"<%multinational corporation, attendees at townwide meetings were constantly reassured that Vermont Gas was equally committed to landowners on “this side of the lake,” even though few, if any, residents would be able to tap into the line.Concerned residents in the path

of the proposed route or routes were offered promises that the lines

were 100 percent safe and that they would “not negatively impact their property values” in spite of potential placement within “several feet” of their homes (their words, not mine) and the widespread removal of mature trees and landscaping. Sadly, the recent tragedy in

Kansas City (along with pipeline explosions over the past six months .#%=+2.#8'"-1<%>0((;<%?"9.(5.--"<%Texas, and Sissonville, W.V.) offers uptotheminute evidence that natural gas pipelines can and do explode, causing loss of life and massive property damage. It may come as a shock to some that the blast radius of the Sissonville disaster was a mindboggling 800 feet. Needless to say, residents along the proposed route or routes are tremendously concerned by the prospect

of having a pipeline placed within several feet of their home. In the event of an emergency, these homes and their inhabitants would literally be vaporized. This open letter gives Vermont

Gas the opportunity to show good faith and prove that they are in fact just as concerned with the safety and welfare of the landowners on this side of the lake as they are with the checkbook of their New York client. Towards that end, I ask a simple yes or no question: Would Vermont Gas willingly submit to minimum 300foot setbacks from structures, septic systems and wells? No rhetoric please — this is a simple question that can be answered in kind.

The PSB heard from speakers from both sides of the issue. What was not conveyed in press accounts however was the degree to which Vermont Gas went to stack the hearing, in an attempt to manipulate both the outcome and the public’s perception of the evening.According to the PSB’s own

Treating the public hearing as some sort of competition to be won, VGS sent out an email to these groups requesting them to come and speak, and they came and ate up valuable hearing time to recite VGS’s talking points by proxy.And why were there so many

people from New York there? The part of the project that brings gas to International Paper in Ticonderoga, N.Y., is part of Phase 2 and this was a public hearing on Phase 1. We were treated to a parade of New Yorkers, who should not have even been allowed to speak at a hearing for Vermont citizens, on a topic that is not even the subject of the current petition.The net result of this misconduct

is that not only were comments on both sides of the issue curtailed to two minutes apiece, by the end of the evening Chairman Volz was reading off name after name of Vermonters who got discouraged and left before getting the opportunity to speak. Also, some latecomers were told there were already too many names on the list and it was too late to sign up to speak.It’s too bad that the PSB could not

manage to control its own hearing to ensure that Vermonters actually had their chance to express them

when virtually all the evidence says we’ve got 20 years at the most. Along the way, wind foes have

promoted several specious myths. They claim wind turbines costs

as much in energy to manufacture as they produce. In fact, the “energy return on investment” is much greater for wind than virtually all other forms of power production.They claim wind power is causing

instability in the regional energy grid and would require more transmission lines. In fact, this isn’t an issue unique to or caused by wind power. We need to address these challenges by improving the grid’s infrastructure, whatever power sources we employ.As House Majority Leader Willem

Jewett, whose district includes Salisbury, Cornwall and Ripton, put it in

an email to me, “We need to move quickly toward a carbonfree power system. We need wind, hydro, solar, biomass and conservation.”Historically speaking, Vermont

has gone from producing most of its own power — think the hydro once generated by the falls in Vergennes and even Bristol — to relying on power from somewhere else. Today when clean, decentralized

power production is readily available and we could be grabbing much more energy from the sun and wind, some environmentalists appear to believe we don’t have that much of a responsibility to do so. Turning their backs to the wind

When Sen. Rob Portman reversed his position on marriage equality after his son came out as gay, !"# $%%&# '# (%$# %)# *'+&,# -%."# %)# /$#was from people who objected that the senator was apparently okay denying equal rights to gay and lesbian partners until someone in his family was affected. When the /001"# 2"+'."# 3"40%5'(6# !"# 75'((8#changed his perspective. It’s not surprising that Sen.

Portman didn’t “get it” until his son came out: All of us to some extent restrict our affection and concern to the people closest to us. It’s as if we don’t quite have the energy or imagination to perceive other people in their full reality. Intellectually we know better, and we might say all the right things. But when it comes right down to it, we fail to imagine other people as fully real, as real as we are. We cannot know them in their complexity, their weight, their desires, their needs, their pain. In 1996

Professor of English Elaine Scarry wrote an important essay %5#$!/0#$%3/+6#+'(("9#:;!"#</)7+1($8#of Imagining Other People.” Scarry argued that our capacity to injure others is in direct proportion to %14# 9/)7+1($8# /.'=/5/5=# $!".# '59#their feelings. She focused on physical injury, especially torture, noting that we don’t torture other people when we identify with what they are feeling. She argued that the issue turns on this problem of understanding other peoples’ pain. In an interview in the Guardian, she stated, “In political and moral life you must be aware of the pain of people whom you may never see.” Scarry acknowledges that this is

a challenging task. It’s hard enough to focus on the reality of the person standing next to us; when we get to people at the other side of town, it’s harder still; and when we get to huge numbers of people on the other side of the globe — well, let’s just say, it’s not a good idea to rely on our own or our leaders’ capacity to “feel other people’s pain.” I would take it one step further:

it’s even hard for us to imagine ourselves in a different state. The young are notoriously bad at recognizing the needs of elderly people — even though, if they’re lucky, they will one day be among them. >5# '# .%4"# 2'5'(# ("?"(6# @# 759# /$#hard to pack a jacket when I am hot and sweaty, and the experience of physical pain — like a toothache, or childbirth — disappears from

memory almost as soon as it is over. One way to

approach this problem is to take on the task — both individually and as a society — of widening our sympathies. Scarry herself has described how her own moral imagination has been trained by poetry and literature, which has taught her a lot about other people’s reality. And yet, says

Scarry, our limitations are so fundamental that we cannot rely on

And anyway, why should the rights of any group of people be dependent on the generosity and wisdom of others? Clearly

we need laws in place to protect human and civil rights. And so this

English professor has also devoted herself to working on matters of constitutional law and social contracts. Getting back to

marriage equality, it has frequently been said that this issue has gained momentum because it is personal for all of us: Whether or not we know it, it’s highly likely that someone we love is gay. We don’t want our children to be kept away from the hospital beds of their dying part

ners. We don’t want our sisters and brothers denied access to their partners’ health insurance and social security. When people closest to us are harmed or treated badly, we do what we can to help. Our imaginations will take us that far.And when it comes to the people

we love, we may also begin to understand that the tide of public 08.3'$!8# /0# 5%$# '# 01)7+/"5$# 5%4# '#fair mechanism for establishing and protecting their rights. For that they need not sympathy, but equality under the law. Devon Jersild, PhD, is a licensed

WENDY LEONA GOODWINLicensed Acupuncturist

Springtime! We long for it, and yet with it comes unpredictable and changeable weather,

including the internal weather of our emotions. Feeling sluggish after winter, but wanting to get going on outdoor projects? Having more intent than energy? Doing more than you have stamina for? Springtime can bring impatience with all its consequences. This is a good time to soothe your inner landscape and direct your body’s energy towards the delights of the next 2 seasons. Acupuncture can awaken you to the vibrant energy of growth and new possibilities.

and other potentially harmful sub

stances from getting into the state’s

lakes and ponds.

Sen. Claire Ayer, DAddison, said

she and fellow Sen. Chris Bray, D

New Haven, are working with legis

lative leaders to “slow down” H.526.

Ayer, assistant majority leader of the

Senate, discussed the bill at a leg

islative breakfast in Weybridge on

Monday.

“There are a lot of good things in

!"#$ %&''$ ()*$ +$,-.'*$%#$/)#$,&!"$ &!$if it passed,” Ayer said, noting her

entire house would fall within the

250foot zone of the proposed shore

land protection area. “But there is

such misinformation about the bill

and such anger about the process —

even though it’s been a public pro

cess — it makes sense to me to slow

the whole thing down, have public

hearings … and allow people to feel

that they have more input and more

knowledge of the process. We’re

hoping that’s what happens and that

,#$/)&0"$,&!"$!"#$%&''$&)$1().(23$4-5$2014).”

That came as good news to some

(!!#)*##0$(!$6-)*(370$/)('$ '#8&0'(tive breakfast. Among them were

Tim Buskey, a shorelands property

owner and member of the Addison

County Farm Bureau.

“That’s the right position to take,

that we’d like to slow it down and

look at it again,” Buskey said. “The

Farm Bureau position has been to kill

the bill, to stop the bill. You already

have existing statutes in place that

do everything the bill does; the only

difference is, the local folks have the

input, it’s not a politically appointed

secretary that has the input.”

Rep. Warren Van Wyck, RFerris

burgh, reported continued opposition

to H.526 from some of his constitu

ents who live on Lake Champlain.

Local opponents, he said, include

owners of the Basin Harbor Club.

“Nobody wants pure water more

!"()$!"#$-,)#20$-5$($2#0-2!$5-2$/0"ing, swimming and recreation,” Van

Wyck said. He pointed to testimony

indicating that Lake Champlain

beachrelated, stormwater runoff

problems can be traced

more to the Burlington and

Shelburne areas than in Ad

dison County.

“If the Senate is able to

9'-0#$4:;<=>?$*-,)$-2$0".!$it down and rework it and

get real public input on

it, it would be a big help,”

Van Wyck. “It was rushed

through the House. When

there were public hearings

in the House, you couldn’t

even get a draft of the bill

the day before, and people

were supposed to testify

about it. There were a lot

of people upset about the

whole process.”

Rep. Harvey Smith, RNew Ha

ven, was also pleased to hear about

the potential for the bill to be tabled

by the Senate. He said the House

ended up voting for “version 12

or 13” of H.526, a bill he said “for

!"#$/20!$ !&@#$&)$@()3$3#(20A$0!(2!#*$B-&)!&)8$ /)8#20$ (8(&)C$ (!$ 5(2@#20A$Burlington residents and municipal

waste disposal facilities and other

entities believed to be responsible

for runoff problems.

“It’s the farmers, it’s the people in

Burlington, it’s the municipal waste

— but we are all part of it and we

all need to work together as a com

munity to put this together,” Smith

said. “I think this lakeshore bill has

brought out the worst in some of us

()*$ ,#7D#$ 0!(2!#*$ !-$ B-&)!$ /)8#20$again.”

Starksboro resident Rich War

ren owns property in North Hero.

He said he’s concerned about the

extent to which he might have to

get permits to make rudimentary

repairs to his shorefront property if

H.526 passes in its cur

rent form.

“I’m concerned about

the state permit part,”

he said. “I have stairs

that go down to the lake.

If the wood rots out, am

I going to have to get a

state permit to replace

those stairs? It seems

pretty excessive.”

Warren said he’s also

concerned about the im

pact the bill could have

on lakearea septic sys

tems.

“When we have these

bills that tell the Agency

of Natural Resources to

create some rules, we don’t know

what those are going to be when a

bill like this passes,” he said.

Bray said he looks forward to

working with opponents and pro

mise. He added there are 241 mu

nicipalities in the state, of which

only 48 currently have bylaws that

control shorelines.

“There is a need to do something;

the question is, how do you put to

gether a healthy, productive process

that towns and municipalities feel

honored for their own expertise and

desires, as well as meet some gen

erally accepted standards that will

lead to higher quality water and

said.

Letters to the Editor

a conscience and is not a good neighbor.Less than a decade ago IP wanted

to burn tires for fuel without installing the standard pollution controls that would have prevented the most dangerous particulate matter from endangering humans and the environment. They were forced to abandon that project when the “test burn” they planned was stopped prematurely due to the high levels of harmful toxin spewing out of the plant; IP said they would be well under the accepted federal regulations. This is also the same company that dumped toxic waste into Lake Champlain for years. Now these two huge multinationals

want to join forces so they can both make more money at the expense of Vermonters and numerous communities around the country and in Canada who are dealing with the realities and aftermath of “fracked” gas and tar sands oil extraction. Why would or should we put our

Natural Gas (Enbridge) and International Paper care about what’s in the best interest of our communities, environment and health? What if the pipeline leaks or an ex

Canada, %*6"#7$#"1&*!"2$%(/*+,").*),%#.)*are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange.As for the $70 million, Vermont

Gas comes by this money for the Addison Natural Gas pipeline by taking it from its customers in Chittenden and Franklin counties. Instead of lowering their prices or providing rebates to these customers when gas prices declined, they persuaded the Public Service Board (see Docket No. 7712) to let them keep this money to use for an “expansion fund” to the tune of $4.4 million per year. By this year it will have already sucked out $10.5 million from these ratepayers.Vermont Gas could have turned to

is in the public good as it will provide many homes and business with natural gas and cut fuel bills by approximately 50 percent (at the moment), is not in dispute. However, everyone’s rush in falling over themselves to get this cheap gas is on the backs of those customers to the north and the unfortunate towns in the pipeline’s path.For example, Monkton is a

planned corridor for this major 12inch industrialsize highpressure gas pipeline, although it will not get gas hookups. The treatment of Monkton by Vermont Gas has been “get out of

our way.” First the route was right through the middle of town, next to the school and below people’s bedroom windows, a most illogical and frighteningly unsafe route. After the residents of Monkton pointed this out in no uncertain terms, the pipeline was moved. However, to make all this happen Monkton had to raise its taxes for a “defense fund” to fend off the repeated abuses to landowners and the town by this “get out of our way” attitude. So while the editorial indicated this project doesn’t add to our tax burden — guess what.What we in Monkton ask for, and

this probably goes for other towns on the planned pipeline route, is that Vermont Gas start treating people, landowners and the towns with some respect and changes its belligerent mode of operation, including their threats of eminent domain, and give the landowners and towns a fair deal for providing this pipeline corridor in the public good.=&*9.,"";.)*&,").*+,"*+'--*9.(.1&*

It’s time for people to rediscover the game of chessI’d like to reintroduce to everyone

out there a special game. A game that has been around since God knows when. The game is chess. Many of us older people remember playing the game in high school or in our younger years. But why did we stop? The reasons may vary but for the most part we just got preoccupied in other things.

The game chess, ladies and gentlemen, is a game that all ages and genders can participate in. It brings people together. Your neighbor might know how to play and 2%/9.*%*$"-'!.*"61!.#*A("+)*,"+*to play. Who knows? Just ask … that’s all. Don’t just play the game online … take it to the park. Make it personal. When it comes to this

game, a senior can play against a 10yearold. You don’t have to be personal buddies because the same rules of chess apply to all.Let’s pull this community to

gether and do “vut da Rooosians do” … minus the vodka. Drag out that chess board. Let’s play.

Early education workers should be allowed to unionizeI am the owner and director of

Changes that have happened in the past have hurt providers and at times caused the availability of quality care for families to decrease. If we had a seat at the table we would have been able to prevent this from happening.

Middlebury to the International Paper Co. mill in Ticonderoga, N.Y. Between 100 and 200 people from Middlebury, Cornwall, Shoreham and other area towns attended the meeting to voice concerns about potential pipeline routes and ask questions. Representatives of the environmental group “Rising Tide Vermont” also attended the meeting to voice concerns about hydrofracking and fossil fuels. Vermont Gas is planning on some additional informational meetings in anticipation of picking a preferred pipeline route in May, for which they will seek a permit through the Vermont Public Service Board.
