Bill wouldextend dairysafety net

MONTPELIER — Ver-mont’s congressional del-egation, U.S. Sen. PatrickLeahy (D) and Sen.Bernie Sanders (I) andRep. Peter Welch(D), hasintroduced legislation toextend a U.S. taxpayer-funded safety net thathelps dairy farmers rideout downturns in milkprices. Without action,the legislative trio claim,dairy farmers could face asevere drop in supportfrom the MILC safety netby Sept 1.

The MILC Continua-tion Act of 2012 would ex-tend for one year the MilkIncome Loss Contract(MILC) program at cur-rent support levels,which helps dairy farm-ers when the price of milkfalls below $16.94 perhundredweight. Oncetriggered, farmers re-ceive 45 percent of thedifference between thatprice and the currentprice of milk, which alsotakes into account feedcosts as a factor in trig-gering program pay-ments. The Farm Bill,which authorizes manyprograms under thepurview of the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture,including the dairy safetynet, is set to expire Oct. 1.

For the last month ofthe Farm Bill, after Aug.31, the MILC programsupport levels for dairyfarmers drop significant-ly. That would leavedairy farmers exposedwithout a sufficient safe-ty net. Although the del-egation is committed topassing a Farm Bill withdairy reforms this year,with prospects for thatbill uncertain, this legis-lation would ensure thereis no lapse in the safetynet for dairy farmers.

When milk pricesplunged in 2009, theMILC program was a crit-ical lifeline for many Ver-mont dairy farmers.

MONTPELIER — Some consider them all part of a fringemovement on the political left, others consider them healthpolicies visionaries, but now these Vermont food activistsare calling for the nation’s first law requiring labeling of ge-netically engineered food.

The Vermont Right to Know GMOs (genetically modifiedorganisms) coalition–which consists of the organizationsRural Vermont, Northeast Organic Farming Association ofVermont, VPIRG and the Vermont Businesses for Social Re-sponsibility Legislative Supporters of H.722–is launching astatewide campaign to make Vermont the first state to re-quire labeling of genetically engineered food.

The coalition members are supporting to Vermont Rightto Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, refered to hasHouse Bill 722 or simply H.722.

Coalition members met in the Cedar Creek Room of theVermont State House Feb. 23 to voice their support of H.722.

According to coalition members, Vermont’s efforts have

received national attention. “This is a consumer right to know issue,” said Falko

Schilling VPIRG consumer protection advocate, “Just as werequire nutritional labels on food so that shoppers can makeinformed choices, consumers should have the same access toinformation about whether their food has been geneticallyengineered.”

But not all Vermont food growers and environmentalistssupport the rush to label and ultimately ban GMOs.

“I think labeling GMO food is a bad idea,” said MartDisch, a pro-GMO vegetable grower in Sudbury, Vt. “People

fear new technology, but in this case there’s a lot of datashowing GMOs have improved the lives of Third World peo-ples.”

According to Disch, the threats of GMOs are exaggerated.“GMOs provide tangible benefits to crops grown such as

pest resistance, herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, coldtolerance, drought and salinity tolerance, and enhanced nu-trition. GMOs also provide new hope through pharmaceuti-cals and phytoremediation agents for treating soil pollu-tants,” Disch said.

Vermont activists want GMO food labels

Ihad been writing a series of shortsabout my injured back, but I gotbogged down and the series ended.

This is an attempt to complete the series(in two final installments) on my decade-long health saga, not because of shear nar-cissism, but because I believe there arethree types of people.

A. Those with a bad back. B. Those who’ll have a bad back. C. Those very, very few fortunate folks

who will not ever have a bad back. If you fall into category A or B, read on for a dose of hope. Year 2000: Back injured skiing. Doc: “Back is very bad. Degenerated

vertebrae. Old guy back. Might need surgery.” Homework: Restructure life, Eliminate most sports–running, basket-

ball, etc., motorcycle, snow machine, old bed, small car, carrying wal-let in back pocket, sitting, (sitting? yes, sitting), eliminate prolongedperiods of driving, lifting/physical work of any kind, and thinkingyou’re Superman

Add firmer bed, stretching, yoga, massage, disciplined and properfull-body strength training concentrating on core muscles, walking,hiking, standing erect.

I do everything doctor says, and more, because I’m literally bent, for-ward and sideways, and the pain is constant and debilitating in moreways then one could imagine. Life style change is my only choice. I willnot take a pill for the entire period the pain lasts, which is years.

Years 2000-03: Suffer all day, every day. Can’t go to a movie. Can’tdrive 30 minutes without stopping to stretch (which we should all doanyway).

Sleep in one position. Get outa bed like an 80 year old. Don’t lift stuff,period. Feel and look old. Struggle on stage.

Eat standing. Move bowels standing (for years). Think career is over.Stretch on floor, any floor, anywhere, every half hour.

Stay home cause sitting in a car is as comfortable as laying on fire.Think I’m old well before my time. Walk with limp. Envy healthy peo-ple.

Recognize bad posture in others is the result of back condition. Fightto dampen injury related stress. Fight to maintain positive outlook. At-tempt sex only when extremely tempted by nothing less than a spright-ly water nymph.

Feel generally worthless. All this as I stay committed to steadily re-structuring life. Wonder if I can take the pain for the duration of mytime alive, or if at some point the pain will win and I’ll whither to theground and never get up. Not being dramatic. That’s how bad back stuffis.

Years 2004–06: Continue disciplined approach to healing, whilethinking a dreadful life-long bad back battle is my fate. Then summer,met a gal, during which I’d go an hour, maybe two, during a 24-hourperiod, free of pain. Told her she was the reason, all the while hopingshe’s not, and that a real healing had taken hold.

Still stretch dozens of times a day, but there were moments, driving,walking, even sitting, that I felt little or dare I say no pain. Would thesepain free sessions continue, and grow into pain free afternoons,evenings, and whole mornings? I doubted it.

To be continued.Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.”

Notes on painGuest Viewpoint

Iencourage you to vote “no”on Town Meeting and Elec-tion Day, Tuesday, March 6,

in Castleton. Vote “no” on thebond article to borrow and build anew Castleton Town Office build-ing and fire station outside the vil-lage, (this plan is the “Build New”option).

A better choice for our commu-nity is to renovate the existing his-toric building at 556 Main St. inthe village, (this is called the “Ren-ovate Existing” option), with aseparate bond vote for a new FireStation. The financial benefit ofrenovation to Castleton taxpayersis clearly evident.

Keeping this positive economic activity in the vil-lage multiplies its effect. Drawing people awayfrom the village center into an open field dissipatesall advantage.

Revitalizing this 19th-century building in the his-toric village helps preserve the classic Vermont vil-lage character so sought after by residents andtourists. It is the hallmark of what makes Vermontcommunity life so unique to residents and visitorsalike.

As residents of Castleton, we owe good steward-ship of our cultural history to future generations.We are one community; what enriches the village,enriches all of us equally.

The best choice, the Renovate Option, is a com-plete to-the-bare-walls gutting and full reconstruc-tion of the interior, to create first class office andmeeting spaces, custom designed for our particularuse.

There’s some very good news to strapped taxpay-ers that accompanies the Renovate Option: TheDonchian Foundation, a philanthropic organizationfounded by a local Castleton resident, has offered a$240,000 grant to the town if the funds are used torenovate the existing building for Town office use.That grant together with Americans with Disabili-ties Act funding of $75,000, compared to the expect-ed cost of the new building plus the actual cost ofthe land purchased for the project, reveals morethan $500,000 taxpayer savings if we choose theRenovate option.

The Renovate Option is expected to cost $655,000less than the Build New option. Here are the roundnumbers: the Build New Option is estimated to cost$1,200,000 by Berryhill & Associates plus $80,000for the land: $1,280,000 in total. The Renovate Op-

tion is estimated to be $940,000 byBread Loaf Construction less the$315,000 in grants: $625,000 in to-tal.

The savings for the town officessegment, can be better applied to-ward the cost of a new CastletonFire Station which Berryhill esti-mates at $900,000. The combinedBuild New option will cost about$2,000,000 and that is what the Se-lect Board asks us to approve onMarch 6. Combining the RenovateExisting Option with the new firestation would be as little as$1,500,000.

Unfortunately, Castleton votersare not being allowed to choose

the Renovate Option. Instead, the current Select Board has rejected the

reasoning of the arguments just listed and has evenrefused to consider the over half a million dollarcost advantage, so fixed are they on their goal of anew building.

That’s why we must vote “no” on the Build NewOption article on the March ballot. A “yes” vote onthis option endangers the historic building andsquanders public funds. Some have said we shouldtear the 556 Main St. building down; it will morelikely stand idle for want of a reasonable businessreturn for the investment required for its renova-tion, and the town will suffer.

The only way to save the building at 556 MainSt., is to renovate it at public expense and use it fora public purpose.

The only way to stop this head-long rush to con-struct a new building is to change the town gover-nance. And that’s one of the reasons why I am run-ning for Castleton Select Board with running matesFrank Giannini and Julie Merwin under the banner“New Ideas”.

Please vote for all three New Ideas candidates:me for the three-year seat election and both Frankand Julie for the one-year seat election. Frugal Ver-monters have been recycling useful things in eco-nomical ways for years. Let’s recycle our historictown office building and plan for a better, cost-con-scious Castleton.

Wallack lead the Massachusetts Medicaid Policy Insti-tute and was also interim president of the Blue Cross BlueShield of Massachusetts Foundation. She chaired theMassachusetts Health Care Quality and Cost Council’scommittee on cost containment, and served on the RhodeIsland Health Reform Task Force. She has been a consult-ant on state-based health reform to states, non-profits,foundations and health care providers for much of thepast decade.

Wallack is a native Vermonter and graduate of the Uni-versity of Vermont.

In addition to the remarks by Wallack, brief reportswill be provided by PMC's Hanson, PMC President JamesL. Daily and Medical Staff President Dr. Mike Kiernan re-garding the work of Porter Medical Center during thepast year, and related topics of importance to our organ-ization and community.

TIME CAPSULE — During the early 1900s, Brandon residents indulged in horse racing along Arnold District Road at the future site of whatbecame the Brandon Training School, now a housing tract. Trotters and flats attracted many local residents on weekends. Viewers often en-joyed picnic lunches trackside in the days before electronic entertainment. Sadly, few artifacts remain of the old track.

How a house cat helped a widow get on with her lifeBy Lou Varricchionewmarketpress@denpubs.com

PANTON — Pets can provide laughter and companion-ship. While humans can’t talk with the animals like fancifulDr. Dolittle of children’s book fame, we probably do commu-nicate with them on some basic emotional level.

As many pet owners claim, cats and dogs and other do-mesticated creatures do understand our needs on some pri-mal level. Some animal researchers and observers point tomeaningful bondings, perhaps even psychic ones, betweenhumans and animal companions.

For Sandy McNamara of Panton, life is challenging as asenior citizen shut-in. But that’s where her constant compan-ion, Frip the cat, plays an vital role in leading a life of joy.

“I'm elderly and disabled and Frip is my solace,” she said.“I adopted him when I was living in New Mexico. He wastwo at the time. I later moved to Vermont. Now he is nearlynine years old and we have grown very close. “

Sandy’s life changed in 2006 when her husband of 22 yearsdied. Frip had been the couple’s cat since their New Mexicodays, but the animal hadn’t played a major role in Sandy’scurrent life – at least not until one special night in Panton.

“Something changed,”she said.“The third night after myhusband died I guess it finally hit me he was gone for good.”

That night, while Sandy was alone in bed crying uncon-trollably, Frip jumped up on the bed. The cat began what ap-peared to be intentional behavior to console the grievingwidow.

“Frip used to be kind of standoffish, but when he heardme sobbing he insisted on snuggling me,” she said

“From that night on, Frip has slept with me and I don'tmean just to be on the bed. He actually snuggles me andwraps his legs around my neck. He loves kisses and willpress his mouth to mine so he gets a kiss,” she said.

For Sandy, Frip is four-legged friend who is funny and aloyal companion.

Frip gets along well with Sandy’s grand daughter, too. “One day back in 2004, my baby grand daughter Bella was

with me; she didn't want to go to sleep. But as you can seein the photo, Frip came to the rescue. He makes everyone feelspecial,” she said.

Panton woman: ‘Frip is my solace’

MIDDLEBURY — Charles MacCormack, a 1963 graduateof Middlebury College and longtime president and chief ex-ecutive officer of the international humanitarian organiza-tion Save the Children, will be an executive in residence atMiddlebury for the next year.

MacCormack, who received an honorary doctorate fromthe college in 1982, expects to spend about two weeks ofevery month in Middlebury where he looks forward to work-ing with “interested students, faculty and staff at an academ-ic institution that has long been at the forefront of researchand teaching in languages and international studies.”

In line with Middlebury’s emphasis on strengthening cur-ricular and co-curricular opportunities for its students, Pres-ident Ronald D. Liebowitz has asked MacCormack to inves-tigate ways to build upon what students learn in the class-room through connections to worldwide initiatives address-ing global health, food and nutrition, economic develop-ment and other issues.

“This residency will give our students, faculty, and staff achance to benefit from Charlie MacCormack’s expertise, in-sight, and wisdom when it comes to doing work on behalfof others,” said President Liebowitz. “The work he has donethroughout his career touches on so much of what we aretrying to do here. To be a truly global institution and pre-pare our students to face the challenges of the 21st century,

we know we will have to combine the power of a tradition-al liberal arts curriculum with hands-on learning.”

MacCormack, whose office is in Munroe Hall, said Mid-dlebury “has been ahead of the curve and very forward lean-ing” on languages and international studies, and becamecommitted long before others to immersion, practical en-gagement, and study abroad. He hopes to help as Middle-bury takes the next step, emphasizing links across geograph-ical and disciplinary sectors. He will be reaching out to fac-ulty and staff to see how he might be able to add value totheir courses and programs. He’s especially interested inworking with the new Middlebury Center for Social Entre-preneurship, which will support and teach young social en-trepreneurs. “I’ve spent the 50 years since I graduated fromMiddlebury applying the lessons I learned here,” MacCor-mack said. “Now I’m looking into what I can do to supportMiddlebury’s leadership in international studies, languagestudies, and the liberal arts.”

Rather than adding courses to the curriculum, MacCorma-ck said, he expects that Middlebury will want to integrateproject-based learning into its students’ overall education.“If a course touches on public health, we might ask how wecan apply what that course has taught the students and getthem involved, for example, in the battle against malaria.You could think of it as creating a laboratory for a numberof courses, continuing to strengthen Middlebury’s traditionof linking strong academic programs with life experience.We can also pull in outside speakers who are active in pub-lic health around the world, in person or via technology likevideo conferencing.

MacCormack is also interested in adding the theory andpractice of global leadership to the Middlebury student ex-perience. For example, he said, “You might be able to havean interdisciplinary course or two available to all those whohave leadership on global issues as one of their targets.”

In addition to his residency at Middlebury, MacCormackwill spend 2012 working as executive chair of the Millenni-um Development Goal Health Alliance, a private entity cre-ated to support United Nations Special Envoy Ray Cham-bers and other world leaders in achieving the UN’s “EveryWoman, Every Child” health goals for newborns, childrenand women. He will also be a senior fellow at InterActionand a number of other think tanks, helping to create a seriesof summits on how private entities can better contribute toglobal health and development.

MacCormack was president and CEO of Save the Childrenfrom 1993 to 2011. Save the Children is an independent non-profit humanitarian child assistance organization with pro-grams in the U.S. and more than 50 other countries, an an-nual budget of $550 million, and more than 6,000 staffers.

When he’s not at Middlebury or traveling the world, Mac-Cormack lives in Easton, Conn., with his wife, Susan Ross,who recently stepped down after 15 years as president of theFairfield County Foundation. They have two children,Cameron and Fraser.

Proposal adds $40 million in benefits to $144 million in savings

RUTLAND – Green Mountain Power proposed a $21 mil-lion investment that would provide approximately $40 mil-lion in energy efficiency benefits to Central Vermont PublicService (CVPS) customers, the utility announced last week.

This proposal will enhance customer benefits from theproposed merger of GMP and CVPS, following CVPS’s ac-quisition by Gaz Métro Limited Partnership.

“We believed our initial merger proposal, which contains$144 million in guaranteed customer savings over the first10 years and millions more afterward, met the standard forPSB approval,” GMP president and CEO Mary Powell said.“Having considered regulators’ and stakeholders’ viewssince we filed our proposal, and given our strong desire toprovide significant, ongoing benefits to our customers, weproposed the creation of a new Community Energy and Ef-ficiency Development Fund (CEED Fund) to help CVPS cus-tomers lower their energy bills and reduce their environ-mental footprints.”

The CEED Fund addresses concerns raised by the Depart-ment of Public Service (DPS) and AARP stemming from a2000 Public Service Board order. That year, the PSB ap-proved an increase in electric rates to help the utilities cov-er the cost of electricity from a contract with Hydro-Quebec,but said that value should be returned to CVPS customers ifthe company were ever sold.

“This proposal is in addition to the $144 million in guar-anteed customer savings,” Powell said. “It represents a $21million investment in energy efficiency on customers’ be-half, which will bring around $40 million in customer bene-fits that can only happen with the merger of these two greatcompanies.”

Under the proposal, included in PSB testimony filedWednesday and modeled after a program created when GMPwas sold in 2007, the CEED Fund will invest in customer ef-ficiency measures, community-based renewable energy,weatherization and other improvements that will create ad-ditional value and benefit for CVPS customers.

“This proposal demonstrates our continued commitmentto the people of our state,” Powell said. “Through extraor-dinary efforts to improve efficiencies both in our own com-pany and in our customers’ homes and businesses, we willsignificantly lower energy costs from what they would oth-erwise have been.”

The CEED Fund would provide resources to lower the costfor CVPS customers to make energy efficiency improve-ments. According to a recent analysis produced by OptimalEnergy for the DPS’s 2011 Comprehensive Energy Plan, en-ergy efficiency investments generate $5 in increased eco-nomic activity for every dollar spent, and create 43 job-yearsper $1 million invested. The economic boost comes not justfrom increased use of in-state resources to provide efficien-cy services, but in the subsequent spending and reinvest-ment of energy cost savings.

Besides the guaranteed savings and new efficiency pro-posal, the merger of GMP and CVPS will provide other sub-stantial benefits for customers, including an annual $1 mil-lion for a low-income benefit program through VELCO div-idend and contribution, enhanced storm response, integra-tion of separate systems and services, an expanded commit-ment to community service programs established by CVPS,and a new Solar City Program and Energy Innovation Cen-ter in Rutland.

The new GMP, with the CVPS named dropped forever, willproduce the $144 million in guaranteed savings without lay-offs except for a handful of executives or forced relocationof employees.

♦ ATTENTION PET OWNERS ♦ If you are the owner of a cat, dog, horse or some other type of companion animal then

we need your help!

In April we will be releasing our first “Hooves & Paws Pet Resource Guide” and we are collecting stories from area pet owners about their very special animals. We are hoping that you will take a minute to write to us about how you acquired your special friend and just what this pet means to your life. We even want to know if the story doesn’t have a happy ending because it might help one of our readers to deal with the loss of a very important pet in their lives. We encourage you to send a photo of you and/or your pet to accompany the story. You may mail the story by March 30th to:

Addison Eagle Attn: Lou Varricchio

16 Creek Rd., Suite 5A Middlebury, VT 05753

Or email photo and story to lou@addison-eagle.com

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

Our Guide will also have articles and information from rescues, shelters, humane societies, vets and

organizations that take care of house pets as well as horses. If you are a related business and would like

to advertise in this piece please give us a call for more information and rates.
