Bernie’s  gift  to  Democrats  hangs  on  Hillary’s  response What  if  Sen.  Bernie  Sanders  wins  the  remaining  primary  races?  Or  even  all  but  a  few?  Would  that  late  surge  shift  the  perception  of  Hillary  Clinton’s  in- evitability  as  the  Democrat’s  presumptive  candidate?  Would  it  shift  the  hearts  and  minds  of  the  Superdelegates  in  the  one  single  calculus  that  is  supposed  to  be  their  raison  dĂŞtre:  supporting  the  candidate  they  think  stands  the  best  chance  of  beating  Republican  front-Ârunner  Donald  Trump? 0D\EH QRW &OLQWRQ ZLOO DOPRVW FHUWDLQO\ ÂżQLVK WKH SULPDULHV ZLWK WKH PRVW elected  delegates,  though  by  fewer  than  her  supporters  would  have  preferred.  She  may  have  carried  the  most  states  (though  it  will  be  close),  and  she  will  have  certainly  carried  the  states  with  the  highest  population. %XW FRQVLGHU WKH ÂżQDO PRQWK RI WKHVH SULPDULHV :LWK ,QGLDQD LQ %HUQLHÂśV column  with  a  surprising  52  percent  of  the  vote  compared  to  Clinton’s  47  percent  (contrary  to  predictions  that  Hillary  would  win),  the  next  contest  is  this  Saturday,  May  7  in  Guam  (12  delegates);Íž  then  Tuesday,  May  10,  it’s  West  Virginia  (31  delegates).  The  week  after,  it’s  Kentucky  (64  delegates)  and  Oregon  (73).  Sanders  hasn’t  done  well  in  the  South,  so  Kentucky  (Guam  too)  may  not  be  in  play,  but  Oregon  could  lean  Sanders’  way  with  West  Virginia  a  toss  up.  The  Democrats  have  no  primaries  the  week  of  May  30,  then  on  June  4-Â5  see  voting  in  Puerto  Rico  (67  delegates)  and  Virgin  Islands  (12),  both  caucuses,  which  favor  Sanders.  On  June  7,  voters  head  to  the  polls  in  California  (546  delegates),  Montana  (27),  New  Jersey  (142),  New  Mexico  (43),  North  Dakota  (a  caucus  with  23  delegates)  and  South  Dakota  (25).  The  District  of  Columbia  (46  delegates)  ¿QLVKHV WKH VKRZ RQ -XQH ,W LV FRQFHLYDEOH 6DQGHUV FRXOG ZLQ &DOLIRUQLD Montana,  North  Dakota,  South  Dakota,  and  maybe  New  Mexico  (assuming  it  is  more  like  Colorado  than  either  Arizona  or  Texas).  Of  the  last  14  contests,  then,  if  West  Virginia  bucks  the  establishment  and  goes  with  Bernie,  Sanders  could  take  10,  leaving  Clinton  with  the  edge  in  Kentucky,  Guam,  New  Jersey  and  D.C. Imagine  the  story  line:  “Hillary  survives  Sanders’  rally,  but  just  barely,â€?  as  she  ekes  out  an  edge  in  pledged  delegates.  Now,  it’s  up  to  the  Party’s  Super- delegates  to  decide.  Polls  will  be  taken  and  scrutinized,  but  in  the  end,  they’ll  go  with  the  establishment  candidate,  while  potentially  causing  Sanders’s  sup- porters  to  be  disillusioned  and  disenchanted. That  scenario,  or  even  something  close  to  it,  puts  Clinton  in  the  position  of  having  to  grant  Sanders  a  bigger  voice  at  the  convention  and  shaping  the  party’s  platform  than  she  might  have  imagined.  To  the  extent  she  tries  to  moderate  and  push  back  to  the  center,  Sanders  and  his  followers  will  likely  withhold  initial  support. How,  then,  should  she  play  those  cards?  The  New  York  Times  editorial  board  gave  her  some  advice,  while  lauding  Vermont’s  junior  senator,  in  a  Tuesday,  May  3,  editorial  headlined  “Bernie  Sanders’s  Gift  to  His  Party.â€?  “The  Democratic  Party  and  Mrs.  Clinton  are  better  off  for  Mr.  Sanders’s  presence  in  this  race,â€?  the  editorial  said.  “His  criticism‌  called  necessary  attention  to  unhealthy  developments  in  the  Democratic  Party,  including  its  at-Âtimes  obliviousness  to  the  lingering  economic  pain  of  the  middle  class  and  the  young,  and  its  drift  toward  political  caution  over  aspiration. “‘I  like  the  idea  of  saying,  ‘We  can  do  much  more,’  because  we  can,’â€?  Vice  President  Joseph  Biden  Jr‌.  said  about  Mr.  Sanders  recently.  “I  don’t  think  any  Democrat’s  ever  won  saying,  ‘We  can’t  think  that  big.’ â€œâ€Ś  Unrealistic,  short  on  details,  the  populist  Mr.  Sanders  is  a  wildly  gesticulating  reminder  of  how  far  the  Democratic  Party,  once  champion  of  the  underdog,  has  strayed.  He  points  out  the  degree  to  which  the  party  has  become  captive  to  economic  elites  whose  agendas  don’t  necessarily  represent  the  rest  of  America’s.  Mr.  Sanders,  who  raised  more  than  $200  million  through  small  donations,  even  cast  doubt  on  Democrats’  claims  that  they  need  big-Âmoney  backers  to  succeed‌ Âł:KLOH 0UV &OLQWRQ RXWĂ€DQNV KLP RQ ERWK NQRZOHGJH DQG SUDFWLFH RI foreign  policy,  on  domestic  policy  he  has  forced  her  to  address  the  impact  of  trade  deals  and  globalization,  spell  out  her  stances  on  clean  energy  and  oil  and  gas  exploration,  and  put  more  meat  on  her  plans  for  college  affordability.  He’s  exposed  her  failure  to  support  $15  an  hour  as  a  federal  minimum  wage,  and  rightly  called  her  out  on  the  Wall  Street  speeches  that  earned  her  millions  and  her  refusal  to  make  the  transcripts  public. “Mr.  Sanders  has  exposed  a  broad  vein  of  discontent  that  Democrats  cannot  ignore‌  to  truly  unify  the  party,  Mrs.  Clinton  and  party  leaders  must  work  to  incorporate  Mr.  Sanders  and  what  he  stands  for  in  the  party’s  approach  to  the  general  election.  It  would  also  help  to  acknowledge  that  the  party  has  strayed  at  times  from  its  more  aspirational  path. “Unlike  the  voices  on  the  Republican  side,  Mr.  Sanders’s  has  elevated  this  campaign.  The  Democratic  Party  should  listen.â€?

Raymond  (Continued  from  Page  4A) spotted  the  problem  years  ago.  See,  my  grandmother’s  maiden  name  was  Evans.  And  that,  I  learned  during  a  casual  Google  search  last  week,  is  a  Welsh  family  name.  And  her  moth- er’s  maiden  name  was  Stuart.  That’s  Scottish. Obviously. It  turns  out  the  only  Irish  thing  about  me  is  that  my  mother’s  sister Â
and  transparent.  It  is  also  rudimen- tary. The  word  that  Lucretius  chooses  to  signify  this  common  agreement  is  “foedus,â€?  usually  translated  “covenant.â€?  Philologists  trace  the  GHULYDWLRQ RI WKH ZRUG WR ³¿GHV´ $ covenant  is  an  agreement  in  which  parties  agree  to  keep  faith,  or  pledge  WKHLU ÂżGHOLW\ WR ZKDW LV PXWXDOO\ GH- cided.  Covenants  are  self-Âimposed  laws;Íž  “federalâ€?  is  a  word  in  com- mon  use  to  signify  a  kind  of  gov- ernment  by  which  the  people  cov- enant  to  certain  fundamental  laws  to  establish  and  govern  their  soci- ety.  The  American  Federalists  were  advocates  of  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States,  which  the  people,  de- siring  a  more  perfect  and  just  union,  fashioned  through  their  represen- tatives,  and,  by  agreement  of  the  states,  it  became  the  law  of  the  land,  and  those  whose  law  it  is  became  citizens,  the  creators  and  custodians  of  American  civilization. Lucretius  also  used  the  term  “foe- dusâ€?  to  signify  laws  of  nature.  He  didn’t  mean  that  the  forces  of  nature  were  persons  who  agreed  to  unite  in  some  way;Íž  he  chose  the  word  to  convey  a  sense  of  the  character  of  nature,  its  tentativeness  and  its  habit  of  evolving  through  trial  and  error.  Politics  is  like  this  also;Íž  historians  often  speak  of  the  American  experi- ment  in  constitutional  government.  So,  with  respect  to  our  understand- ing  of  nature,  and  of  politics,  we  seem  to  be  heirs  of  Lucretius,  not  Plato. Nevertheless,  Lucretius  and  Plato  share  a  common  concern  about  the  growth  of  civil  society  and  its  civi- lization.  Civilization  is  the  seedbed  of  ambition,  it  creates  great  wealth,  fosters  vain  notions  of  glory  and  greatness  that  secure  power,  pro- motes  imperial  expansion,  invents  war,  worst  of  all  civil  war,  slavery,  superstition,  national  myths,  racism,  the  exploitation  of  the  poor  and  less  fortunate,  and  the  desecration  of  the  earth  in  a  rush  for  hidden  treasures  that  it  contains:  gold,  silver,  copper,  iron,  the  latter  well  suited  for  weap- ons  of  destruction. Civilization  has  the  tendency  to  alienate  us  from  nature  and  to  make  us  violent  and  cruel  in  ways  in  ways  that  nature  never  imagined.  To  sus- tain  our  fantasies,  we  imagine  that  we  are  a  species  from  or  destined  to  another  world.  Religion  persuades  us  that  this  is  true.  Lucretius  be- lieved  that  only  the  study  of  nature  could  deliver  us  from  such  illusions  and  the  wrongs  that  they  foster,  by  introducing  us  to  the  true  causes  of  things.

Letters to the Editor 7RZQ 'LYHUVLÂżHG 2FFXSDWLRQV SDUWQHUVKLS LV ZHOFRPH Today  while  I  was  at  the  Middle- bury  Parks  and  Recreation’s  new  facility  on  Creek  Road,  I  noticed  that  the  Hannaford  Career  Center’s  'LYHUVLÂżHG 2FFXSDWLRQV VWXGHQWV were  doing  all  of  the  plantings  of  the  new  trees  and  lawn  surrounding  the  new  building.  I  knew  one  of  the  teachers  and  students  helping  so  I Â
went  over  to  say  hello. The  D.O.  program  at  the  Career  Center  has  a  work  study  program.  Kudos  to  them  and  the  Recreation  Department  for  joining  forces.  It  was  so  refreshing  to  see  students  out  there  working,  learning  new  skills  and  enjoying  themselves  on  a  sunny  day.
I  think  it  is  wonderful  that  the  town  of  Middlebury  did  not  sub  out  that  project  to  an  outside  contractor.  These  kids  can  come  back  year  after  year  to  that  site  and  know  that  they  had  a  role  in  making  the  new  rec  center  a  beautiful  place.

I’ll  acknowledge  that  it’s  possible  there’s  just  too  much  travel  informa- tion  available  online.  Smart  phones  can  make  it  too  easy  for  the  hordes  to  discover  once-Âsecret  hot  springs  and  fragile  Anasazi  ruins. Exploring  one  of  those  ruins  out- side  Los  Alamos,  I  turned  on  my  iPhone  to  take  a  photo  of  the  petro- glyphs  —  the  rock  art  carved  into  stone  cliffs  by  natives  who  lived  there  centuries  ago.  My  phone  immediately  pinged  an  alert  that  I  had  voicemail  from  a  friend  in  Vermont.  Standing  beneath Â
those  ancient  rock  carvings,  I  re- turned  the  call.  Yes,  we  are  addicted  to  our  21st- century  24/7  connectivity.  Talking  with  my  friend  back  in  rainy  Vermont,  I  stood  on  a  wind- swept  mesa  overlooking  a  green  val- ley  where  natives  had  farmed  a  mil- lennium  ago.  Their  spirits  still  permeate  that  landscape,  long  after  they  aban- doned  their  cliff  dwellings  and  faded  from  the  scene.  They  left  behind  mysterious  rock  carvings  whose  secrets  —  despite  all  the  information  contained  in  our  smart  phones  —  we  will  never  know.  Gregory  Dennis’s  column  appears  here  every  other  Thursday  and  is  archived  on  his  blog  at  www.greg- dennis.wordpress.com.  Email:  greg- dennisvt@yahoo.com;͞  Twitter:  @ greeengregdennis.

He  deeply  valued  practical  skills  such  as  carpentry,  and  renovated Â
many  of  the  homes  his  family  lived  in.  He  made  wire  portraits  of  his  children,  which  hung  as  mobiles,  and  he  became  a  passionate  landscape  painter.  He  was  born  in  Union  Town,  Pa.,  in  his  grandfather’s  home.  In  1948,  he  married  Lois  Bacot  Rose,  with  whom  he  had  two  sons  and  a  daugh- ter.  Among  the  great  adventures  of  their  married  life  was  to  hit  the  road  in  retirement  to  explore  Canada  and  the  United  States.  They  travelled  in  a  recreation  vehicle  until  they  discov- ered  Bend,  Ore.,  where  they  lived  for  a  number  of  years  and  became  valued  volunteers  at  the  High  Desert  Museum  there.

The  following  excerpt  from  his  oral  history  in  the  Library  of  Congress,  recorded  after  his  retirement  from  a  long  career  in  the  U.S.  Foreign  Service,  tells  what  happened  next.  It  was  just  republished  to  mark  this  71st  anniversary  of  VE  Day  by  the  American  Foreign  Service  Association’s  Daily  Media  Digest. JAEGER:  By  early  May  the  German  Army  had  virtually  disintegrated,  the  Americans  and  the  Russians  had  met  at  the  Elbe,  the  battle  of  Berlin  was  under  way  and  we  all  knew,  as  we  pressed  on  across  the  Bavarian  border,  that  the  war  was  almost  over. ,Q RXU Âż QDO SXVK )LIWK &RUSVÂśV Sixteenth  Armored  Division,  supported  by  another  division  from  the  south,  liberated  Pilsen  on  May  6,  1945  —  a  glorious,  deliriously  happy  day.  I  remember  vividly  how  our  command  car,  wedged  into  an  endless  column  of  muddy  American  trucks  and  tanks  of  the  16th  Armored  Division,  rolled  into  town.  The  long  VWUHHWV UXQQLQJ WKURXJK 3LOVHQÂśV then  grubby,  rundown  suburbs  were  lined  with  thousands  of  jubi- ODQW FKHHULQJ &]HFKV *LUOV ZHUH WKURZLQJ XV Ă€ RZHUV SHRSOH ZHUH singing  and  shouting,  everyone  was  ZDYLQJ Ă€ DJV DQG KDQGNHUFKLHIV DQG although  desperately  deprived  after  years  of  war  and  occupation,  people  offered  us  sausages,  bread  and  even  bottles  of  the  then  very  thin  Pilsner  beer.

Bristol  (Continued  from  Page  1A) Apartments,  and  thus  the  need  for  the  wellhead  protection  area.  Eliminating  the  protection  area  opens  up  the  possi- bility  of  installing  septic  systems,  and  thus  a  business  park,  on  the  30  acres. 7KH PLOOLRQ ERQG ZRXOG ¿- nance  four  projects,  and  the  Lovers  Lane  extension  would  account  for  only  about  a  quarter  of  that,  Kirby  said.
The  projects  and  their  allocations  are: ‡ SHUFHQW WR UHSODFH the  hundred-Âplus-Âyear-Âold  water  line  on  West  Street,  from  Airport  Drive  to  Maple  Street.  ‡ SHUFHQW WR H[WHQG the  town  water  system  to  Lovers  Lane. ‡ SHUFHQW IRU VWRUP- water  upgrades  to  West  Street,  to  ad-Â
dress  drainage  problems  and  bring  that  roadway  into  compliance  with  the  Vermont  Clean  Water  Act. ‡ SHUFHQW WR H[WHQG WKH ZDWHU OLQH WR WKH QHZ ÂżUH VWDWLRQ The  town  is  eligible  for  a  federal  rural  development  grant  that  could  FRYHU XS WR SHUFHQW RI WKH ERQG LQ WKLV FDVH EXW WKH UXOHV RI WKDW JUDQW VD\ D WRZQ PXVW ÂżUVW SDVV a  positive  bond  vote. NEED  FOR  A  BUSINESS  PARK Kevin  Harper,  who  developed  the  BristolWorks  property,  argues  that  Bristol  needs  a  business  park  that  can  keep  companies  in  town  for  the  long  term,  and  that  this  spot  is  the  place  to  do  it. “We’re  great  at  starting  businesses  and  Bristol  is  a  great  place  to  do  that  until  you  get  to  a  place  where  actually  you’re  starting  to  make  money  and  you’re  paying  people  a  livable  wage  and  the  next  thing  you  know,  they  leave,â€?  he  said.  “It’s  happened  over  and  over  and  over  again  —  we’re  al- most  famous  for  it.â€? Added  Kirby,  “Just  when  they’re  UHDOO\ JHWWLQJ SURÂżWDEOH DQG EULQJ- ing  good  jobs  to  Bristol  they  have  to  leave.â€? +DUSHU NQRZV WKLV SDWWHUQ ÂżUVW hand.  He  started  the  Autumn  Harp  cos- PHWLFV ÂżUP LQ D WLQ\ VSDFH LQ 5LSWRQ PRYHG LW WR 5RFN\GDOH 5RDG LQ %ULV- tol  when  it  got  a  little  bigger,  moved  to  the  Pine  Street  plant  at  what  is  now  BristolWorks  when  the  company  reached  eight  employees,  then  sold  it  LQ ZKHQ LW UHDFKHG HPSOR\- HHV $IWHU QLQH \HDUV DQG ZLWK employees,  the  new  owners  moved  out  because  they  had  become  success- ful  enough  to  need  a  larger  space  than Â

Harper  believes  the  sweet  spot  for  PDQ\ HPHUJLQJ EXVLQHVVHV HVSH- FLDOO\ OLJKW PDQXIDFWXULQJ WR UHPDLQ competitive  is  more  in  the  range  of  WR VTXDUH IRRW VSDFHV especially  spaces  that  allow  a  busi- ness  to  put  in  just  the  right  equipment  and  then  simply  knock  out  a  wall  and  keep  growing. “You’re  putting  all  this  stuff  in  and  it’s  costing  big  money  to  hard  pipe  all  this  stuff  in  not  to  mention  meet  safety  VWDQGDUGV DQG HIÂżFLHQF\ UHTXLUHPHQWV and  you  don’t  want  to  do  all  that  for  a  3,000-Âsquare-Âfoot  building  if  you  NQRZ \RX KLW \RXU ÂżUVW PLOOLRQ DQG now  you’ll  have  to  start  all  over  again  down  the  road  in  Middlebury.  So  you  really  need  the  ability  to  grow  in  your  space,â€?  he  said.  “I  think  today’s  en- trepreneurs  that  are  committed  to  a  long-Âterm  vision  for  their  businesses Â

PLANNING  STUDY Last  summer  a  federal  grant  enabled  the  town  to  study  the  proposed  busi- ness  park.  The  resulting  study  group  brings  together  Kirby,  Elder  and  Sue  Kavanagh  from  the  planning  commis- sion,  John  “Peekerâ€?  Heffernan  for  the  selectboard,  Adam  Lougee  from  the  $GGLVRQ &RXQW\ 5HJLRQDO 3ODQQLQJ Commission,  Alan  Huizenga  of  Green  Mountain  Engineering  and  Harper.  According  to  Kirby,  the  group  had  initially  applied  for  the  grant  without  a  developer  on  board  and  had  been  told  they  would  be  turned  down.  With  Harper  on  board,  the  town  resubmit- ted  and  won  the  grant. $OWKRXJK WKH ÂżQDO VWXG\ LV QRW H[- pected  until  July,  the  group  envisions  a  campus-Âstyle  business  park  of  rough- O\ VTXDUH IHHW WKDW ZRXOG KRVW a  range  of  businesses,  including  light  manufacturing,  value-Âadded  agricul- WXUH DQG SURIHVVLRQDO RIÂżFHV ZLWK WKH possibility  of  some  residential.  The  business  park  would  be  campus  style,  EURNHQ LQWR ÂżYH RU VL[ EXLOGLQJV ZLWK parking  lots  tucked  around  the  busi- nesses  and  a  walking  path  along  the  edge  of  the  property  overlooking  the  river  and  the  hillside  below.

Kirby  and  Harper  estimate  the  val- ue  of  the  business  park  at  over  $10  PLOOLRQ ZKLFK DW WKH %ULVWRO WD[ UDWHV ZRXOG \LHOG DURXQG D year  in  education  and  municipal  taxes. “That’s  the  big  picture,â€?  said  Kirby.  “It’s  jobs.  It’s  the  grand  list.  It’s  tax  money.â€? The  town  signed  a  purchase  and  sale  agreement  with  Harper  and  Stoney  Hill  Properties  for  the  10- acre  parcel  last  July,  said  Kirby,  at  the  same  time  that  it  signed  a  purchase  and  sale  agreement  for  the  new  town  ¿UH VWDWLRQ 7KH DJUHHPHQW JLYHV WKH town  three  years  to  remove  the  well- head  protection  area.  Once  removed,  WKH SURSHUW\ ZRXOG EH VROG DW SHU DFUH HTXLYDOHQW WR WKH SULFH +DUS- HU UHFHLYHG IRU WKH ÂżUH VWDWLRQ ,I QRW removed,  the  property  could  be  sold  IRU SHU DFUH WHY  STONEY  HILL?

Only  about  10  of  those  30  acres  are  actually  on  the  plateau,  explained  Kirby.  The  rest,  for  the  most  part,  go  steeply  downhill. .LUE\ EHOLHYHV WKDW SUHVHQWV a  unique  opportunity  for  the  town  to  build  its  long-Âenvisioned  business  SDUN EHFDXVH LW ÂżQDOO\ KDV DFFHVV to  those  30  acres,  a  master  planning  grant  from  the  state  to  fund  the  busi- ness  park  planning  study  currently  under  way  and  a  development  partner  willing  to  work  with  the  town  to  real- ize  its  vision. “Our  goal  has  been  to  allow  pros- perous  businesses  to  grow  in  town  be- cause  many  of  them  that  left,  the  own- ers  left  saying,  ‘I  would  have  liked  to  stay  in  Bristol;Íž  I  like  Bristol,  but  we  couldn’t  do  it,’â€?  said  Elder.  “So  if  we  promote  the  growth  of  these  places,  we  would  have  more  wage-Âbased  jobs  —  with  the  possibility  of  higher  wage  jobs  through  manufacturing,  which  is  typically  a  little  higher  income  —  and  some  salaried  jobs  that  would  allow  more  people  in  Bristol  to  earn  enough  to  stay  in  Bristol.  That’s  really  the  bot- tom  line.â€?

His  mom  couldn’t  be  happier. “This  is  a  wonderful  thing  for  him,â€?  Leah  Beauchamp  said.  “He  works  so  hard,  and  I’m  so  pleased  to  see  it  pay  off.â€? And  the  success  doesn’t  appear  to  be  going  to  his  head. “I’m  always  amazed  at  how  humble  Nick  is,â€?  she  said.
