Binghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  tempest  in  teapot 7KH ODWHVW Ă&#x20AC;DS  concerning  the  recent  town-­college  proposal  to  build  a  new  municipal  building  on  the  Osborne  House  site  reminds  us  of  the  old  British  idiom,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;storm  in  a  teacup,â&#x20AC;?  or  the  better  known  American  version,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;tempest  in  a  teapot,â&#x20AC;?  or,  if  you  prefer  the  Yiddish  saying,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;a  squall  in  a  spoon  of  wa-­ ter.â&#x20AC;?  Pick  your  fancy,  it  all  boils  down  to  taking  a  small  event  and  blowing  its  VLJQLÂżFDQFH RXW RI SURSRUWLRQ Such  is  the  case  with  Middlebury  Selectman  Craig  Binghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  unusual  decision  to  reveal  an  executive  session  discussion  in  2011  in  which  the  VHOHFWERDUG UHMHFWHG DQ ÂłXQVROLFLWHG´ RIIHU E\ 0LGGOHEXU\ &ROOHJH RIÂżFLDOV WR buy  the  current  municipal  building  site  for  $2.825  million.  (See  story,  Page  1A.)  Binghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  so  gracious  point  is  to  suggest  Middlebury  College  has  been  pining  for  this  piece  of  town  property  for  years,  and  that  townspeople  should  reject  the  current  offer  of  $5.5  million  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  that  includes  helping  the  town  solve  other  long-­standing  problems  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  as  if  it  is  a  matter  of  town  pride  or  some  other  notions  that  are  equally  irrational.

What  is  so  unseemly  about  Binghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  allegation  is  his  apparent  attempt  to  cast  the  college,  and  current  selectboard  members  (by  virtue  of  their  collu-­ sion),  in  a  bad  light.  He  seems  to  have  the  misguided  notion  that  the  revela-­ tion  will  somehow  validate  his  opposition  and  his  preference  that  the  town  rebuild  on  its  current  site.

We  disagree  with  Bingham  on  three  fundamental  accounts:  Â&#x2021; 7KH WRZQ KDV GLVFXVVHG KRZ WR UHQRYDWH UD]H DQG UHEXLOG RU PRYH WKH current  municipal  building  for  the  past  15  or  more  years.  Naturally,  the  col-­ lege  has  always  been  a  party  to  that  dialogue.  To  suggest  that  the  College  re-­ VSRQGHG WR DQ REYLRXV SUREOHP WKH WRZQ ZDV IDFLQJ LQ ZLWKRXW VSHFLÂżF solicitation  is  to  disregard  the  prior  decades.  Bingham  is  playing  â&#x20AC;&#x153;gotchaâ&#x20AC;?  on  a  petty  point  and  trying  to  create  a  stink  about  it.  The  simple  facts  are  the  college  made  an  offer;Íž  the  selectboard  rejected  that  offer  with  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;thanks,  but  no  thanks,â&#x20AC;?  saying  it  preferred  to  try  to  rebuild  on  the  current  site  on  its  own  terms.  The  college  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;cool,â&#x20AC;?  and  withdrew  its  offer.  No  big  deal.  Two  years  later,  and  after  months  of  committee  work  (of  which  I  was  a  part),  the  selectboard  determined  the  town  could  not  raise  HQRXJK JUDQW PRQH\ GRQDWLRQV RU RWKHU VRXUFHV RI UHYHQXH WR PDNH ÂżQDQF-­ ing  the  building  on  its  own  feasible  and  appealed  to  the  college  for  help.  End  of  tempest. Â&#x2021; 0RUH LPSRUWDQWO\ WKLV VSULQJ WKH FROOHJH UHVSRQGHG WR WKH WRZQÂśV GLUHFW solicitation  with  an  offer  that  is  generous  and  community  minded.  To  suggest  otherwise  is  beyond  the  pale.  The  college  responded  primarily  because,  as  Middlebury  College  President  Ron  Liebowitz  writes  in  a  letter  to  the  editor  in  this  issue,  there  were  several  interesting  opportunities  in  play  at  this  time  that  could  help  reshape  the  downtown  and  achieve  several  long-­term  town  objectives,  including:  keeping  the  municipal  building  in  the  heart  of  the  downtown,  razing  the  Lazarus  building  and  deeding  the  land  to  the  town  to  make  a  safer  entrance  to  the  Marble  Works  Business  District,  and  improving  prospects  to  develop  a  commercial  building  at  the  base  of  the  Cross  Street  Bridge. Â&#x2021; )LQDOO\ DQG PRVW LPSRUWDQWO\ %LQJKDP LV GHDI WR WRZQ UHVLGHQWV DQG businesses  who  have  said  the  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  tax  capacity  is  at  its  limit.  Financing  a  municipal  building  project  of   $7.5  million  or  more  would  add  close  to  8  FHQWV WR WKH WD[ UDWH RQ WRS RI WKH FHQWV MXVW DGGHG WR ÂżQDQFH WKH QHZ ÂżUH department,  a  couple  pennies  more  to  fund  the  new  police  department  a  few  years  ago,  and  the  added  local  options  taxes  to  fund  the  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  share  of  the  Cross  Street  Bridge.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  lot  of  new  taxes  on  a  small  town  in  the  past  few  years,  and  there  are  other  important  things  to  address,  including  roads,  VLGHZDONV HFRQRPLF GHYHORSPHQW RWKHU PXQLFLSDO QHHGV SOXV IXQGV WR ÂżJKW crime  and  the  explosion  of  drugs  on  the  street.  Adding  8  cents  to  the  tax  rate  for  a  new  municipal  building  simply  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  in  the  cards.  Taxpayers  have  made  that  point  loud  and  clear.

Bingham  is  also  being  misleading  by  suggesting  the  funding  of  the  mu-­ nicipal  building  could  be  done  by  shifting  other  tax  revenues  (excess  funds  from  the  local  options  tax  and  taxation  from  the  natural  gas  pipeline)  to  cover  the  cost  of  a  new  municipal  building  and  not  raise  tax  rates.  But  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  bogus  argument.  Debt  incurred  has  to  be  paid,  and  if  naysayers  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  college  involvement,  then  residents  are  going  to  pay  the  piper  one  way  or  the  other.  ********** That  said,  this  overblown  tempest  provides  an  opportunity  to  step  back  a  few  paces  and  engage  Middlebury  residents  in  a  more  creative  dialogue  in  terms  of  the  money  allotted  for  the  project,  its  design  and  function,  and  how  the  municipal  building  at  the  proposed  Osborne  site  would  mesh  with  current  town  assets  and  features.

Of  the  important  issues  raised  recently,  Ilsley  Library  patrons  are  right  to  question  whether  there  would  be  adequate  parking  capacity,  and  board  mem-­ bers  and  directors  are  right  to  argue  for  adequate  ways  to  better  carry  out  their  mission.  (They  are  mistaken,  however,  to  assume  the  Osborne  site  was  theirs  on  which  to  expand,  or  that  voters  would  embrace  spending  more  tax  dollars  for  an  expanded  facility.  See  the  above  argument  on  tax  capacity.)

In  light  of  the  commercial  building  the  college  would  hopefully  be  able  to  attract  next  to  the  Cross  Street  Bridge,  town  residents  are  right  to  expect  some  town  voice  in  that  buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  appearance  and  function,  parking  capacity  DQG RWKHU QHHGV EHQHÂżFLDO WR WKH GRZQWRZQ VXFK DV LPSURYLQJ SDUWV RI WKH riverfront  south  of  Middlebury  Falls  to  the  train  trestle  south  of  the  Cross  Street  Bridge.

Adding  more  voices  on  this  project  from  throughout  the  community  will  undoubtedly  help  prevent  unforeseen  problems  and  may  suggest  creative  im-­ provements  that  could  have  been  overlooked,  and  will  certainly  add  support  to  the  project  when  it  comes  time  to  vote.  Oddly  enough,  for  a  project  that  is  so  far  along,  one  problem  the  town  faces  is  that  the  cart  is  slightly  ahead  of  the  horse  in  terms  of  public  involvement  largely  because  the  proposal  landed  on  the  selectboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  doorstep  without  much  public  discussion  or  transpar-­ ency.  The  current  â&#x20AC;&#x153;squall  in  a  spoonful  of  waterâ&#x20AC;?  provides  impetus  to  get  that  community  conversation  underway  sooner  than  later.

I  live  in  Shoreham  among  scenic  orchards  and  hilly  roads  with  many  blind  curves  and  almost  no  shoul-­ ders.  It  is  an  area  frequented  by  bicyclists,  especially  bike  tours.  I  welcome  them  to  share  the  road  and  admire  the  beauty  I  live  around  every  day.  Too  many  times,  how-­ ever,  I  have  come  across  bicyclists  stopped  along  the  side  of  the  road  at  the  top  of  a  hill  on  a  blind  curve,  only  inches  off  the  paved  surface.  Common  sense  tells  me  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  stop  along  the  side  of  the  road  un-­ less  (1)  motorists  coming  from  both  directions  can  see  you  from  a  safe  distance  (2)  you  can  pull  completely  off  the  road  by  several  feet  and  (3)  you  are  not  at  a  bend  in  the  road.

I  think  bicyclists  bear  as  much  responsibility  for  their  own  safety  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  the  safety  of  others  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  as  do  motor  vehicle  operators.  Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  all  think  of  each  other.

Internet  trolls  detract  from  dialogue The  Internet  can  be  an  amazing  resource.  It  breaks  down  the  limitations  of  time  and  space,  putting  you  in  touch  with  people  around  the  world  and  making  most  in-­ formation  immediately  accessible  to  anyone  who  can  use  a  search  engine.  The  Internet  is  a  connector,  and  it  en-­ ables  dialogues  and  associations  that  would  never  have  happened  otherwise.

But  there  is  something  to  be  said  for  traditional  means  of  communication.  Recently  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  thinking  about  how  many  online  dialogues,  such  as  chat  sites  and  the  com-­ ments  sections  of  news  sites,  allow  people  to  keep  the  things  they  write  on  the  Internet  totally  separate  from  their  daily  identity  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  that  lack  of  personal  responsibility  is  an  underlying  weakness  of  this  new  avenue  of  communication.  One  thing  that  happens  frequently,  By  Xian in  the  absence  of  any  kind  of  identi-­ Chiang-­â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2018;Waren fying  system  where  someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  â&#x20AC;&#x153;real  lifeâ&#x20AC;?  identity  is  shown  next  to  the  comments  they  post,  is  that  people  feel  as  though  they  have  an  open  invitation  to  put  the  worst  of  themselves  out  there  in  the  open.  No  one  is  held  accountable  for  what  they  say,  so  they  just  let  loose.  , ÂżUVW HQFRXQWHUHG WKLV SKHQRPHQRQ LQ D UDWKHU GUD-­ matic  way.  I  was  a  freshman  at  Middlebury  College  and  some  enterprising  sociology  student  from  a  differ-­ ent  campus  unleashed  a  pretty  deft  social  experiment  on  us.  They  launched  a  website  where  anyone  could  post  a  topic  or  reply  to  otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  posts  completely  anonymously.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Middlebury  Confessional,â&#x20AC;?  as  the  site  was  called,  WRRN RII LPPHGLDWHO\ ,W ODXQFKHG MXVW EHIRUH ÂżQDOV ZHHN so  students  were  parked  in  front  of  their  computers  any-­ way,  but  its  immediate  impact  on  campus  was  undeni-­ able.  If  you  walked  down  a  row  of  study  carrels  in  the Â

7RZQ JRZQ GHDO RQ RI¿FHV J\P ZRUWK\ RI VXSSRUW As  a  resident  of  Middlebury  and  an  employee  of  Middlebury  College  for  the  last  29  years,  the  last  nine  as  its  president,  I  am  dismayed  by  the  overwrought  reaction  of  a  small  number  of  residents  to  the  joint  pro-­ posal  put  forward  by  the  town  and  WKH FROOHJH WKDW ZRXOG EHQH¿W WKH town  and  its  citizens  for  generations  to  come.

To  fund  the  projects  being  discussed,  Middlebury  College  is  committed  to  providing  $5.5  million  of  a  total  cost  of  $7.5  million.  For  this,  the  townspeople  of  Middle-­ bury  would  receive  a  new  town  hall,  a  new  recreation  center,  title  to  property  adjacent  to  Ilsley  Public  Library,  improved  access  to  the  Marble  Works  via  Printerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Alley,  and  the  prospect  of  the  long-­sought  development  of  the  property  behind  the  town  library  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  project  that,  once  complete,  will  generate  new  WD[ UHYHQXH DQG RWKHU EHQHÂżWV IRU the  town.

A  small  group  of  naysayers  has  portrayed  this  as  some  kind  of  ploy  by  the  college,  or  at  least  a  land  grab.  Nothing  could  be  further  from  the  truth.  While  the  plan  would  transfer  the  triangular  property  between  Main  and  College  streets,  where  the  municipal  building  and  gymnasium  now  stand,  to  the  col-­ lege,  this  is  not  the  driving  reason  for  why  we  are  doing  this.  It  was  and  is  the  potential  of  the  compre-­

hensive  plan  for  the  town  that  we  IRXQG DQG ÂżQG VR FRPSHOOLQJ As  our  actions  have  shown  time  and  again,  Middlebury  College  is  invested  in  the  success  and  growth  of  our  community.  And  as  I  stated  when  the  proposal  was  announced  in  June,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  committed  to  the  view  that  what  is  good  for  the  town  is  good  for  the  college  and  vice  versa.â&#x20AC;?

Residents  of  Middlebury  will  remember  that  only  three  years  ago  the  college  committed  $9  mil-­ lion  toward  the  $16  million  cost  of  the  new  Cross  Street  Bridge;Íž  the  annual  payment  now  made  by  the  college  to  fund  the  bridge  is  $600,000  per  year,  and  those  pay-­ ments  will  extend  over  30  years.  That  commitment  is  in  addition  to  the  generous  support  the  col-­ lege  has  provided  in  other  ways  over  the  past  few  years,  including  $1.25  million  for  the  restoration  of  the  Middlebury  Town  Hall  7KHDWHU D PDJQLÂżFHQW DGGLWLRQ WR our  town;Íž  our  $250,000  challenge  grant  for  the  new  Middlebury  Volunteer  Ambulance  Association  facility;Íž  the  $100,000  challenge  grant  to  ACTR;Íž  the  $300,000  contribution  we  make  annually  to  United  Way  to  support  local  child  care;Íž  and  our  annual  gift  to  the  town  of  more  than  $230,000.  Most  recently,  we  provided  40  percent  of  the  funds  needed  to  hire  a  business Â

development  director  for  the  town.  The  directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  charge  is  to  create,  recruit  and  retain  high-­quality  jobs  in  the  area.  These  commitments  rep-­ resent  only  a  part  of  what  the  col-­ lege  contributes  overall  to  the  town  and  region,  yet  they  underscore  the  ¿QDQFLDO FRPPLWPHQWV WKH FROOHJH has  made  in  the  name  of  improving  the  economic  viability  of  Middle-­ bury  and  the  quality  of  life  for  those  who  live  in  town.

I  also  should  add  that  the  col-­ lege  is  the  largest  taxpayer  in  town.  Though  some  may  think  â&#x20AC;&#x153;tax-­ exempt  statusâ&#x20AC;?  means  freedom  from  property  taxes,  this  is  hardly  the  case.  The  college  pays  taxes  on  all  non-­educational  properties  in  town,  and  this  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  (2013)  tax  payments  will  be  $695,644.

This  spring,  we  were  asked  to  help  the  town  replace  the  aging  and  costly  municipal  building  and  gym-­ nasium.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  pleased  we  were  able  to  go  beyond  that  and  propose  a  plan  that  would  help  the  town  meet  a  number  of  additional  objectives  WKDW ZRXOG EH YHU\ GLIÂżFXOW WR GR on  its  own.  These  are  the  facts  and  background  that  I  hope  will  be  the  basis  for  our  discussion  as  a  com-­ munity  and,  ultimately,  the  decision  our  community  will  make  at  town  meeting  this  fall.

Really?  Then  last  week  my  co-­worker  pointed  out  a  comment  thread  to  me  that  sent  me  off  the  deep  end  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  un-­ der  an  article  about  a  recent  tragic  homicide  in  Pittsford,  in  which  a  woman  was  beaten  to  death  in  her  kitchen  by  her  boyfriend,  in  front  of  their  children,  a  commenter  identi-­ ÂżHG RQO\ DV Âł-RKQ´ VKDUHG KLV YLHZ that:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  only  way  to  prevent  do-­ mestic  violence  is  to  remain  faithful  in  your  relationships.  Being  a  person  who  has  been  exposed  to  many  peo-­ ple  involved  in  domestic  violence  situations,  I  can  tell  you  that  if  all  women  woke  up  tomorrow  and  un-­ derstood  that  cheating  is  what  causes  domestic  violence  then  the  world  would  be  a  safer  place.â&#x20AC;?

Wow. It  wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  hit  me  so  hard,  except  I  had  just  spent  the  morning  reading  through  the  graphic  details  RI WKH SROLFH DIÂżGDYLW IRU WKDW SDU-­ ticular  homicide,  which  included  gruesome  details  not  elaborated  on  in  the  published  news  stories.  Like, Â

for  example,  the  defendant  had  prob-­ ably  sexually  violated  the  victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  body  after  the  homicide.  And  a  child  may  have  been  present  for  that  too.  )RU DOO WKDW H[SOLFLWQHVV WKH DIÂżGD-­ vit  never  indicated  the  victim  had  â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheated,â&#x20AC;?  but  as  other  commenters  quickly  pointed  out,  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  that  be-­ side  the  point?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  like  to  sit  down  with  â&#x20AC;&#x153;John.â&#x20AC;?  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  like  to  ask  him  why  he  thinks  that  homicide  could  possibly  be  H[SODLQHG E\ LQÂżGHOLW\ ,ÂśG OLNH WR look  that  guy  in  the  face  and  try  WR ÂżJXUH RXW KLV WUDLQ RI WKRXJKW the  way  many  of  us  around  the  state  (including  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnâ&#x20AC;?)  had  stared  down  Christopher  Sharrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  wide-­ ly  disseminated  mug  shot  and  won-­ dered  what  the  hell  had  happened  in  his  mind.  Sharing  your  views  is  a  good  idea,  no  matter  how  different  opin-­ ions  are.  But  easy  access  to  the  Internet  also  encourages  people  to  react  thoughtlessly  and  sometimes  ignorantly.  Especially  when  it  comes  to  the  news  stories  that  stick  in  conversations  around  the  state,  and  that  touch  on  important  issues  like  domestic  violence  or  public  safety  (or  Sharia  law  for  that  mat-­ ter),  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  important  to  have  a  smart  dialogue  in  channels  that  will  keep  the  discussion  on  point.  Just  gen-­ erating  noise  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  help  anyone.

Clippings (Continued  from  Page  4A) no  matter  how  half-­baked,  in  public  forums  where  they  can  stay  anony-­ mous.

In  the  few  slow  moments  at  work,  I  sometimes  browse  the  sites  of  other  news  outlets  in  the  hopes  of  picking  up  some  useful  leads,  and  often  no-­ tice  articles  in  particular  that  attract  a  number  of  commenters.  People  love  commenting  on  news  websites.  Our  letters  to  the  editor  section  gives  a  space  for  those  to  de-­ velop  thoughts  and  opinions  in  ways  that  are  productive  for  the  communi-­ ty.  And  we  have  an  online  comments  section  so  that  there  is  an  opportu-­ nity  for  readers  to  react  immediately  to  a  story.  And  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  great,  except  there  is  also  the  distinct  sense,  given  the  fact  that  most  people  post  under  random  and  nondescript  usernames  that  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  possibly  be  used  to  identify  them,  that  many  feel  they  have  the  freedom  to  say  whatever  comes  to  mind  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  no  matter  how  of-­ fensive,  illogical  or  underdeveloped  the  thought  is.

Just  today,  for  example,  I  clicked  on  a  short  WCAX  article  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police  nab  busy  burglar  in  Addi-­ son  County.â&#x20AC;?  It  described  a  young  man  who  certainly  had  been  active,  UHPRYLQJ FRSSHU SLSH Âż[WXUHV IURP houses  and  stealing  thousands  of  dollars  in  personal  items.

(Continued  from  Page  4A) support  a  new  town  hall  on  any  site  other  than  the  current  one,  and  to  pay  for  demolition  and  disposal  of  the  municipal  building  and  gym.

On  March  5,  2001,  at  Town  Meeting,  voters  by  a  54  percent-­46  SHUFHQW PDUJLQ DIÂżUPHG DQ DUWLFOH that  directed  the  selectmen  to  stop  pursuing  a  deal  with  the  college  that  would  have  swapped  the  Municipal  Building/Gym  site  for  the  Steeleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Mobil/Osborne  House  site.

On  Dec.  6,  2011,  the  most  recent  unsolicited  offer  by  the  college  was  delivered  to  the  selectmen  in  executive  session.  The  college  of-­ fered  $2.825  million  as  follows:  $2  million  for  the  site  of  the  Municipal  Building/Gym,  $500,000  towards  demolition  of  the  structures,  $200,000  by  gifting  to  the  town  the  Osborne  House  property,  and  $125,000  in  college  assistance  with  permits  and  planning.  By  consensus  the  selectmen  decided  to  reject  the  offer.  I  disclose  this  information  now  because  doing  so  will  not  place  the  town  at  a  disadvantage.  The  cur-­ rent  deal  has  already  been  struck,  and  the  voters  deserve  to  know  the  facts  when  they  eventually  cast  their  ballot  on  the  offer.

The  college  has  been  pursuing  the  purchase  of  the  Municipal  Building/ Gym  site  for  14  years,  and  has  re-­ peatedly  made  its  intention  known.  Two  things  are  clear:  The  college  is  a  driving  force  behind  the  concept  RI UHORFDWLQJ WKH WRZQ RI¿FHV DQG it  will  not  stop  its  dogged  pursuit  of  controlling  the  site  until  the  residents  of  the  town  of  Middlebury  JLYH XS RU HUHFW QHZ WRZQ RI¿FHV there.

Mr.  Kirkaldy  misleads  the  reader  when  he  writes  that  the  town  â&#x20AC;&#x153;gets:  $5.5  million  toward  a  $7.5  mil-­ lion  project.â&#x20AC;?  Not  quite.  What  the  college  is  offering  is  to  pay  the  debt  service  on  a  $4.5  million  bond.  One  million  dollars  of  the  so-­called  $5.5  million  offer  is  earmarked  for  the  cost  of  moving  the  Osborne  House,  the  demolition  of  the  Municipal  Building  and  Gym,  and  the  creation  of  a  park  on  the  former  Municipal  Building/Gym  site.  The  college  should  not  be  getting  credit  for  ex-­ pending  funds  on  readying  its  parcel Â

of  land  for  sale,  or  for  the  creation  of  a  park  on  the  parcel  of  land  it  acquires  as  part  of  this  deal.

Kirkaldy  errs  when  he  assures  the  reader  that  parking  in  the  municipal  lot  should  not  concern  us  because  â&#x20AC;&#x153;no  gym  means  less  demandâ&#x20AC;?  for  parking,  and  because  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  lot  behind  Mister  Upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  is  rarely  used.â&#x20AC;?  Finally,  Kirkaldy  writes  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;past  plans  for  developmentâ&#x20AC;?  in  that  area  include  an  underground  parking  garage.

The  fact  that  the  gym,  teen  center,  and  senior  center  would  be  split  off  does  not  decrease  the  number  of  vehicles  that  the  numerous  visitors  WR WKH WRZQ RIÂżFHV QHHG SDUNLQJ for  on  a  daily  basis.  Committees  with  multiple  members  meet  there  frequently,  and  a  host  of  others  who  KDYH EXVLQHVV DW WKH WRZQ RIÂżFH from  title  searchers,  to  people  stop-­ ping  to  pay  a  bill,  to  people  simply  picking  up  a  marriage  license,  require  a  place  to  park  nearby.  In  2012  an  exhaustive  study  of  parking  in  Middlebury  found  the  municipal  lot  and  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;rarely  usedâ&#x20AC;?  lot  behind  Mister  Upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  are  heavily  utilized,  averaging  more  than  75  percent  occupied  between  10  a.m.  and  6  p.m.  Finally,  while  planners  have  indicated  that  it  may  be  possible  for  a  parking  garage  to  be  erected  at  the  municipal  lot,  the  actual  construc-­ tion  of  any  additional  parking  is  many  years  away.  Building  the  WRZQ RIÂżFHV RQ WKH 2VERUQH +RXVH site  would  immediately  make  an  DOUHDG\ GLIÂżFXOW VLWXDWLRQ PXFK worse,  perhaps  unbearable.

In  attempting  to  address  my  concern  about  losing  the  Osborne  House  site  to  future  development,  Kirkaldy  writes  that  improving  access  to  the  Marble  Works  by  way  of  the  Lazarus  building/town  land  swap,  and  developing  a  site  behind  Ilsley  Library  allows  the  downtown  to  expand.  However,  the  Marble  Works  and  the  site  behind  Ilsley  that  planners  have  marked  for  development  are  already  included  in  the  downtown.  Mr.  Kirkaldy  is  wrong  to  argue  that  by  adopting  his  suggestions  we  somehow  increase  the  developable  space  downtown.

Kirkaldy  assures  the  reader  that  parking  demand  at  the  rec  park  can Â

Raymond (Continued  from  Page  4A) est;͞  often  we  located  them  in  only  10  to  12  minutes.

We  made  it  back  to  the  base  lodge  several  hours  later,  triumphant.

I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mean  we  came  in  under  par;Íž  we  gave  up  on  that  by  the  second  hole,  when  Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  disc  took  an  unplanned  trip  into  the  trees  and  down  a  40-­foot  embankment,  prompting  a  half-­hour  search.

The  triumph  was  that  we  had  re-­ turned  with  our  discs  in  hand,  a  feat  the  ticket  lady  had  said  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  done.

We  were,  however,  muddy  and  cov-­

be  addressed  because  â&#x20AC;&#x153;with  smart  VFKHGXOLQJ FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFWV ZLWK WKH ULQN can  be  avoided,â&#x20AC;?  and  Kirkaldy  suggests  we  use  the  courthouse  and  Mary  Hogan  School  parking  lots  af-­ ter  hours.  Finally,  if  all  that  fails  he  holds  out  the  possibility  of  creating  more  parking  in  the  rec  park.

First,  Kirkaldy  errs  by  omitting  WKH XVHUV RI RXU UHF ÂżHOGV DQG SRRO as  people  who  currently  use  the  parking  that  he  admits  is  heavily  used.  Second,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;smart  schedul-­ ingâ&#x20AC;?  is  not  the  answer;Íž  Kirkaldy  should  glance  at  the  Municipal  Gym  schedule.  At  most  times  of  the  year  our  gym  is  in  use  by  multiple  groups  from  4  to  over  12  hours  a  day,  7  days  a  week,  and  most  of  those  people  require  parking.  Since  the  bulk  of  the  programs  at  the  gym  must  be  held  in  the  middle  of  the  day,  the  courthouse  and  Mary  Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  parking  lot  will  not  be  available.  The  lease  between  the  town  and  the  ID-­4  (Mary  Hogan)  school  board  stipulates  that  the  primary  use  of  the  premises  shall  be  outdoor  recreation.  Assuming  we  gain  the  needed  approval  of  the  ID-­4  Board  to  develop  space  in  the  park  for  a  gym,  teen  center,  senior  FHQWHU DQG 5HF 'HSDUWPHQW RIÂżFHV are  then  going  to  ask  if  we  can  pave  more  outdoor  recreation  space  to  make  another  parking  lot?  That  just  does  not  make  sense.

Further,  Kirkaldy  contends  that  the  digital  age  will  reduce  the  current  and  future  space  needs  of  our  overcrowded  library.  Library  Director  Kevin  Unrath  has  indicated  to  me  that  he  will  respond  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;that  tired  argument.â&#x20AC;?

Finally,  about  Kirkaldyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  choice  of  words.  He  tells  the  reader,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bingham  also  fears  the  site  would  prevent  future  expansion  of  Ilsley  /LEUDU\ DQG WKH WRZQ RIÂżFH EXLOG-­ ingâ&#x20AC;?  and  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bingham  also  wor-­ ries  about  parking.â&#x20AC;?  Has  Kirkaldy  resorted  to  attempting  to  win  his  case  by  attributing  negative  quali-­ ties  to  me?  In  the  letter  Kirkaldy  is  responding  to  I  question  why  those  issues  have  not  been  given  due  consideration,  but  never  once  do  I  use  the  words  fear  or  worry.

SHORT  SALE  APPROVALS   Every  short  sale  is  different,  depending  as  much  on  the  lender  as  on  the  listing  agent.  Many  ¿QDQFLDO LQVWLWXWLRQV EDON DW VKRUW sale  approvals,  and  primary  lien  holders  and  secondary  mortgage  holders  will  stall  approvals  in  hope  of  attaining  a  higher  price  or  additional  compensation,  which  delay  the  short  sale  process  and  can  result  in  a  foreclosure  prior  to  a  successful  sale  being  brokered.  Listing  agents  often  outsource  short  sale  negotiations  to  third  party  agents,  which  can  delay  responses.  Before  making  an  offer  on  a  short  sale  home,  take  the  comparable  sales  into  account  and  make  sure  that  your  offer  is  reasonable.  Short  sales  are  already  discounted  from  market  value  and  the  chance  of  your  offer  being  accepted  quickly  LV LPSURYHG E\ NHHSLQJ WKH ÂżJXUH close  to  the  propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  estimated  YDOXH :KHQ SRVVLEOH ÂżQG RXW whether  the  sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  short  sale  package  is  complete,  because  D ÂżOH PLVVLQJ WKH UHTXLUHG paperwork  will  not  be  processed  by  bank  negotiators,  leaving  your  offer  on  the  property  to  languish  and  expire  without  being  considered.  The  general  timeline  for  a  short  sale  approval  is  10-­30  day  response  time  from  the  submission  of  an  offer  to  the  bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  acknowledgement  of  receipt.  A  30-­60  day  timeline  is  routine  for  the  bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  order  IRU DQ DSSUDLVDO ÂżOH UHYLHZ and  negotiator  assignment,  extending  to  90  days  is  a  level  II  negotiator  is  assigned.  Approval  or  rejection  varies  from  30-­120  days,  depending  on  the  level  of  preparation  and  pro-­activity  of  the  seller,  buyer  and  their  agents,  so  discuss  your  options  with  your  RealtorÂŽ  and  remember  that  patience  and  preparation  above  all  are  the  keys  to  success  with  short  sales.

Even  seizing  animals  in  imminent  danger  of  death,  as  Crosby  did  on  Dorie  Lane,  can  be  tricky,  according  to  Jessica  Danyow,  who  took  over  as  executive  director  of  the  ACHS  at  the  Homeward  Bound  Animal  Welfare  Center  in  June.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  like  to  caution  people  to  be  re-­ ally  conservative  when  making  these  judgments,  because  otherwise  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  then  just  seized  an  animal  without  a  search  warrant  and  due  process,  and  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  illegal,â&#x20AC;?  Danyow  said.  In  the  case  of  the  dogs  on  Dorie  Lane,  the  lack  of  resources  and  confu-­ sion  over  who  should  investigate  the Â

(Continued  from  Page  1A) had  been  looking  for  a  large  space  to  host  a  creative  community  hub  for  some  time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Karla  and  I  were  both  coming  into  this  with  very  parallel  visions  of  a  creative  community,â&#x20AC;?  Hinrichsen  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  lived  up  at  the  Vermont  Stu-­ dio  Center  in  Johnson  for  four  years,  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  dream  place  for  an  artist  or  creative  person  because  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  sur-­ rounded  by  these  creative  thinkers,  yet  you  also  have  your  own  personal  space.â&#x20AC;?

That  was  precisely  the  vision  that  the  pair  of  friends  wanted  to  bring  to  Bristol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After  we  decided  we  loved  (6  South  St.)  we  just  started  inviting  all  of  our  creative  friends,â&#x20AC;?  Hinrichsen  said.

Baird,  Grauer  and  Miles  came  on  board,  and  the  artists  moved  into  the  building  over  the  past  sev-­ eral  months,  and  have  already  begun  leaving  their  mark  on  the  historic  building.  Paintings  and  mixed  media  pieces  adorn  the  staircase  and  hall-­ ways,  and  a  gallery  space  in  the  front Â

And  the  structure  itself  is  some-­ thing  of  a  blank  canvas,  as  its  land-­ lords  have  been  enthusiastic  about  the  artists  transforming  the  space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  see  so  much  potential,â&#x20AC;?  Hinrich-­ sen  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  is  nothing  precious,  which  is  like  a  dream  come  true.â&#x20AC;?

The  artists  anticipate  the  gallery  will  always  be  open  to  the  public,  so  that  anyone  can  drop  in  on  a  whim.  The  group  plans  to  have  commu-­ nity  events  every  other  Tuesday;Íž  the  sprawling  side  porch  and  garden  will  accommodate  live  music  and  read-­ ings.  The  goal,  Hinrichsen  said,  is  to  provide  a  physical  space  for  the  burgeoning  creative  community  to  gather  and  share  ideas.  In  the  future,  the  group  hopes  to  offer  an  educational  component,  such  as  lectures  by  visiting  artists  or  perhaps  courses,  to  further  expand Â

BRISTOL  RESIDENT  LILY  Hinrichsen  paints  in  her  studio  at  ARTSight,  the  new  Bristol  arts  space  at  6  South  Street  that  Hinrichsen  shares  with  four  other  local  artists.

ARTSight  will  make  its  commu-­ nity  debut  with  an  open  studio  event  on  Tuesday,  July  23,  from  6  to  8  p.m.  The  public  is  invited  to  view  the  studios  and  gallery,  meet  the  artists Â

and  hear  about  upcoming  readings,  events  and  workshops.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  want  to  bring  people  in,â&#x20AC;?  Hinrichsen  said  simply.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Everyone)  can  just  know  that  on  Tuesday  nights  there  will  be  free  readings  or  live  music,  or  just  come  to  hang  out  with  creative  people.â&#x20AC;?

patient  go  shopping  for  healthy  food.  SASH  also  partners  with  groups  like  Champlain  Valley  Agency  on  Aging,  the  Counseling  Service  of  Addison  County  and  Porter  Hospi-­ tal  to  coordinate  wellness  program-­ ming,  including  presentations  on  nu-­ WULWLRQ DQG IDOO SUHYHQWLRQ DQG ÂżWQHVV classes,  such  as  tai  chi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wellness  activities,  tai  chi,  ex-­ ercise,  even  in  your  wheel  chair, Â

(and)  â&#x20AC;Ś  nutrition  planning,  not  overeating,  not  eating  junk,  all  of  these  things  will  improve  health,â&#x20AC;?  McKnight  said,  adding,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  have  a  lot  of  assistance.  This  whole  SASH  concept  is  one  big  memorandum  of  understanding  â&#x20AC;Ś  We  can  use  their  resources.  We  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  try  to  duplicate  what  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  doing.  We  simply  try  to  make  this  extended  outreach  to  people  on  Medicare.â&#x20AC;?

Most  of  those  programs  are  held  on  Armory  Lane,  but  as  SASH  ex-­ pands,  notably  to  nearby  housing  de-­ velopments  in  Vergennes  that  cater  to  seniors  on  Walker  Avenue,  they  will  be  offered  there,  he  said.

Many  of  the  recent  SASH  recruits  have  come  from  that  area.  Welsh  ex-­ plained  the  sales  pitch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  chronic-­disease  self-­ management.  Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  wellness  management,  and  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  care  co-­ ordination  part  if  they  happen  to  go  to  the  hospital  or  rehab,â&#x20AC;?  Welsh  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  really  offers  them  a  lot.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  free  program.â&#x20AC;?

EXPANSION McKnight  said  they  hope  to  ex-­ pand  the  Vergennes  SASH  to  100  cli-­ ents,  a  total  that  will  also  be  the  goal  in  Middlebury  later  this  year  and  Bristol  in  2014.  The  target  in  the  Shoreham-­ Orwell  area  will  be  about  50;͞  McK-­ night  notes  their  research  shows  about  30  women  between  the  ages  of  65  and  91  living  alone  in  Orwell  homes.

Reaching  seniors  in  rural  areas  without  senior  housing  will  pose  more  of  a  challenge,  although  they  hope  eventually  there  can  be  two-­dozen  units  between  Shoreham  and  Orwell.  Transportation  volunteers  could  also  play  a  critical  role,  they  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somehow  we  have  to  connect  them  in  with  programs  like  this,  make  it  possible  for  them  to  become  part  of  the  community  in  a  sense.  And  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  transportation  problem  â&#x20AC;Ś  $QG ZKHUH FDQ ZH ÂżQG D SODFH WKDW is  convenient  enough  to  bring  people  together.  But  we  can  bring  programs  to  them,â&#x20AC;?  McKnight  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some  of  them  have  computers  â&#x20AC;Ś  We  can  talk  to  them.  We  can  visit  them.  But  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  PRUH GLIÂżFXOW ´ But  the  potential  rewards  are  great  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  not  only  for  the  seniors,  and  possibly  not  only  for  Vermont,  McK-­ night  said.  SASH  is  part  of  the  Vermont  Blue-­ print  for  Health  that  is  tied  into  the  federal  Affordable  Care  Act  (ACA).  The  ACA  requires  states  to  look  at  ways  to  improve  wellness  as  a  method  to  reduce  medical  costs,  or  at  least  slow  their  growth.  Vermont,  McKnight  said,  is  the  only  state  to  tie  SASH  programs  in  with  the  Blueprint  as  a  way  to  trim  Medicare  spending.

If  the  numbers  are  as  good  as  SASH  backers  expect,  the  template  could  go  national.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  hopeful  it  will  get  around  the  nation,  because  it  works,â&#x20AC;?  McK-­ night  said.   On  the  other  hand,  the  $10  mil-­ lion  federal  grant  through  the  Center  for  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services  that  funds  SASH  programming  will  expire  next  year.  McKnight  hopes  at  the  least  SASH  will  have  proven  its  worth  locally,  and  centers  like  that  on  $UPRU\ /DQH ZLOO ÂżQG D ZD\ WR NHHS it  up  and  running.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then  the  question  is  how  can  we,  in  a  sense,  maintain  the  same  pro-­ JUDP"´ KH VDLG Âł:KHUH FDQ ZH ÂżQG that  money?â&#x20AC;?

McKnight  is  optimistic  that  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  necessary.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  thought  is  that  if  the  statistics  are  good,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  see  support  of  it  here,  and  extension  of  it,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  see  people  com-­ ing  here  to  see  what  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  doing  in  Vermont.â&#x20AC;?

SASH  oversight  can  also  prevent  or  shorten  hospital  stays,  McKnight  and  Welsh  said.  Welsh  recalled  one  case  at  the  Armory  Lane  center  when  a  client  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  show  up  to  a  movie,  and Â

Got  veggie  haters?

One  of  the  most  common  nutrition-­related  questions  asked  by  parents  is  how  to  get  their  child  to  eat  veg-­ etables.  To  many  parents,  kids  and  vegetables  seem  to  be  like  oil  and  water  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  they  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  mix.  However,  that  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  be  the  case.

Here  are  four  tips  to  help  your  child  become  a  healthy  and  happy  vegetable  eater.

1.  Tempt  the  senses.  Vegetable  by  itself  might  not  be  very  appealing  but  add  a  little  something  to  it  and  your  child  may  be  more  likely  to  try  it.  6WHDPHG FDXOLĂ&#x20AC;RZHU ² ERULQJ 6WHDPHG FDXOLĂ&#x20AC;RZ-­ er  topped  with  melted  shredded  cheese  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  more  ap-­ pealing.

Strawberries  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  boring.  Strawberries  with  a  small  bowl  of  melted  chocolate  chips  for  dipping  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  more  appealing.

2.  Be  a  good  role  model.  Make  sure  your  child  sees  you  enjoying  fruits  and  vegetables  often  at  meals  and  snacks  throughout  the  day.  Showing  them  how  to  eat  healthier  can  be  a  lot  less  stressful  than  lecturing  them  about  being  a  healthy  eater.  Your  child  will  see  that  value  of  having  vegetables  in  the  diet  outweighs  any  reluctance  to  eat  them  simply  because  they  might  not  be  your  favorite  food.  3.  Offer  them  a  choice.  Letting  them  have  a  say  in  what  fruit  or  vegetable  is  served  can  give  them  control  and  independence  in  the  meal.  This  will  often  increase  their  acceptance.  When  planning  a  meal,  try  asking  your  child,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do  you  want  watermelon  or  strawberries  or  both?  Do  you  want  carrots  or  broccoli  or  both?â&#x20AC;?

Avoid  making  an  open  question,  such  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;What  do  you  want  for  dinner?â&#x20AC;?  which  can  lead  to  food  battles.

4.  Offer  foods  over  and  over  and  over  again.  Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  take  one  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  like  itâ&#x20AC;?  as  proof  that  they  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  OLNH D IRRG 7KH ÂżUVW UHVSRQVH WR D new  food,  regardless  of  what  it  is,  is  often  â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;?  for  many  kids.   Try  the  same  food  in  different  ways.  For  example,  a  potato  can  be  baked,  mashed,  roasted,  shredded  and  more.  Its  time  to  call  a  truce  in  the  veggie  battle!  Remember,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;eat  your  vegetablesâ&#x20AC;?  should  be  an  invitation,  not  an  order.

The  church  is  hosting  the  shelter  as  part  of  a  broader,  ongoing  effort  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hungry  and/or  homeless  families.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  ef-­ fort  launched  several  years  ago  by  the  Middlebury  Community  Care  Coali-­ WLRQ 0&&& D QRQSURÂżW DVVRFLDWLRQ of  church  groups  and  volunteers  who  have  been  organizing  and  hosting  free  lunches,  suppers  and  shelter  for  people  LQ QHHG 7KH FRDOLWLRQ RSHUDWHV ÂżYH fully  furnished  apartments  on  North  Pleasant  Street  for  people  seeking  to  transition  from  homelessness  to  per-­ manent  housing.  The  MCCC  also  operates  the  Congregational  Church  of  Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Charter  House  as  a  WHPSRUDU\ ZLQWHU KRPH IRU XS WR ÂżYH families,  from  Nov.  1  to  May  1  each  year.

Doug  Sinclair,  MCCC  president,  said  the  Charter  House  space  rarely  has  vacancies.  And  he  added  it  was  clear  that  more  could  be  done  for  the  homeless  based  on  conversations  with  Helping  Overcome  Povertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Effects  (HOPE),  the  Vermont  Department  of  Children  and  Families,  and  local  cler-­ gy.  Together,  they  mapped  out  a  plan  for  bare-­bones  accommodations  for  people  with  nowhere  else  to  go  during  the  most  frigid  of  nights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All  of  the  social  services  agencies  know  there  are  people  out  there  who  do  not  qualify  for  help  and  are  spend-­ ing  nights  outside,  no  matter  what  the  weather,â&#x20AC;?  Sinclair  said.

ham  Emergency  Shelter  in  Vergennes,  explained  HOPE  Executive  Director  Jeanne  Montross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  shelter  is  intended  to  be  a  last  resort,  with  the  sole  purpose  of  pre-­ venting  death  due  to  exposure,â&#x20AC;?  reads  a  project  narrative  for  the  Memorial  Baptist  Church  winter  shelter,  provid-­ ed  by  Montross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  shelter  facility  is  intended  to  serve  the  chronically  homeless,  those  who  have  serious  mental  illness  and/or  substance  abuse  disorders,  and  those  with  records  of  violence  or  criminal  activity  who  are  barred  from  the  shel-­ ter  facilities  already  in  existence  in  the  community.â&#x20AC;?

People  needing  to  access  the  shel-­ ter  will  be  referred  to  HOPE,  or  oth-­ er  organizations  as  appropriate,  for  possible  follow-­up  assistance  and  planning  for  future  shelter.  Those  trying  to  access  the  shelter  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  required  to  accept  any  referral,  or  engage  in  case  management  or  other  programming  with  any  organization,  nor  will  it  be  a  requirement  for  any-­ one  accessing  the  shelter  to  be  â&#x20AC;&#x153;free  RI WKH LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFH RI DOFRKRO RU DQ\ other  substance.â&#x20AC;?  But  prospective  clients  will  be  required  to  â&#x20AC;&#x153;behave  in  a  manner  which  is  not  disruptive  to,  or  does  not  threaten  the  safety  of,  staff  or  other  shelter  users.â&#x20AC;?

The  shelter,  organizers  said,  will  not  continue  if  it  ends  up  creating  â&#x20AC;&#x153;an  un-­ QHFHVVDU\ ÂżQDQFLDO RU RWKHU EXUGHQ´ on  the  community  or  starts  supplanting  existing  shelter  facilities  or  programs.  The  facility  will  only  serve  people  in  Addison  County  and  will  not  be  avail-­ able  to  people  looking  to  come  in  from  other  areas  for  the  purpose  of  being  sheltered.

Shelter  amenities  will  be  basic.  The  location  is  wheelchair  accessible  and  contains  a  number  of  separate  rooms,  including  a  kitchen  and  bathroom.  Women  and  men  will  sleep  in  sepa-­ rate  quarters.  Clients  will  be  provided  mats,  blankets  and  pillows  or  other  head  cushioning.  Sinclair  believes  the  shelter  will  be  able  to  serve  as  many  as Â

12  clients  on  any  given  night.

Organizers  have  secured  a  $20,000  state  grant  to  launch  the  shelter,  ac-­ cording  to  Montross.  The  budget  will  allow  for  the  hiring  of  six  trained,  part-­ time  workers  to  staff  the  shelter  up  to  60  nights  between  Nov.  1  and  May  1,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;when  the  air  temperature  for  the  com-­ ing  night  is  forecast  to  be  less  than  10  degrees  and  on  other  nights  when  wind  chill  or  precipitation  conditions  warrant,â&#x20AC;?  according  to  the  project  nar-­ rative.

Paid  staff  will  be  trained  in  such  areas  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;personal  and  professional  boundaries,â&#x20AC;?  communication,  sub-­ stance  abuse  disorders,  major  mental  LOOQHVVHV FRQÂżGHQWLDOLW\ DQG HWKLFV Staff  will  be  employed  by,  and  will  an-­ swer  to,  the  MCCC. Other  rules  call  for  the  shelter  to  only  open  to  a  client  if  he  or  she  cannot  get  a  room  at  the  John  Graham  Shelter  or  another  viable  option.  The  shelter  will  not  be  opened  if  a  single  indi-­ vidual  needs  it  for  the  night;Íž  in  such  a  circumstance,  HOPE  would  seek  re-­ sources  to  put  that  person  up  at  a  mo-­ tel  room  for  the  night  using  Salvation  Army,  grant,  or  private  funds.  If  two  or  more  qualifying  people  need  the  shel-­ ter,  it  will  be  opened,  after  7  p.m.  Vol-­ unteers  will  help  with  the  intake  of  cli-­ ents,  who  will  be  able  to  enter  between  7  p.m.  and  8:30  p.m.  Paid  staff  will  come  on  at  8  p.m.  and  supervise  the  shelter  through  the  night.  Lights  will  be  turned  off  at  10  p.m.,  with  clients  being  woken  up  at  7  a.m.  The  shelter  will  provide  some  evening  snacks  and  a  light  breakfast  in  the  morning.  Clients  will  have  to  leave  the  shel-­ ter  by  8  a.m.,  whereupon  volunteers  will  clean  the  shelter  and  get  it  ready  for  the  next  time  it  opens.  HOPE  has  shower  facilities  for  clients  who  want  to  use  them.
