Two  avid  hikers  conquer  115  peaks By  JOHN  FLOWERS WEYBRIDGE  —  Nothing  like  spending  a  sunny  afternoon  hiking  up  a  mountain.  The  picnic  lunch  tastes  even  better  with  a  panoramic  view. But  how  about  driving  four  hours  to  get  to  the  base  of  a  mountain  for  a  hike  of  more  than  4,000  feet  to  the  summit,  wading  through  armpit- high  snowdrifts  while  braving  sub- ]HUR WHPSHUDWXUHV DQG ÂżHUFH ZLQGV with  only  a  frozen  hard-Âboiled  egg  to  gnaw  on  for  sustenance?  How  about  facing  that  kind  of  challenge  115  times  on  mountains  throughout Â

That’s  a  feat  that  Weybridge  neigh- bors  Michele  Bayliss  and  Dean  Ouel- lette  completed  last  month.  They  not  only  survived  it,  they  thrived  on  the  steady  diet  of  climbing  conquests  known  as  the  “Northeast  115.â€?  With  their  ascent  of  Mount  Abraham  in  Lincoln  on  the  second-Âto-Âlast  week- HQG LQ -DQXDU\ WKH GXR RIÂżFLDOO\ HQ- tered  a  very  exclusive  club  of  hiking  enthusiasts  who  have  successfully  :(<%5,'*( 5(6,'(176 '($1 2XHOOHWWH DQG 0LFKHOH %D\OLVV FHO- scaled  the  115  peaks  of  4,000  feet  or  HEUDWH UHDFKLQJ WKH WRS RI 0RXQW $EUDKDP GXULQJ WKH ODVW KLNH RI WKHLU higher  in  New  England  (67),  the  Ad- PXOWL SHDN H[SHGLWLRQ WR FOLPE DOO 1HZ (QJODQG DQG 1HZ <RUN PRXQ- WDLQV KLJKHU WKDQ IHHW (See  Duo,  Page  31) 3KRWR FRXUWHV\ RI 0LFKHOH %D\OLVV

Seasoned recycling handler befriends eager college students Editor’s  note:  The  author  just  completed  her  education  at  Middle- bury  College  and  a  months-Âlong  in- ternship  at  the  Independent.

It  was  the  tightest  hug  I  received  before  leaving  campus,  all  the  warm- er  and  more  meaningful  and  memo- rable  because  of  its  unexpected  con- viction.  I  was  not  sure  when  I  would  see  this  75-Âyear-Âold  Jamaican  man  again  after  departing  for  my  envi- ronmental  writing  class  in  Alaska,  so  our  goodbye  was  tinged  with  a  bitter-Â

By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  Middle- bury  voters  at  their  town  meet- ing  will  decide  a  proposed  2016- 2017  municipal  spending  plan  that  will  not  require  an  increase  in  property  taxes. The  budget  —  which  does  not  UHĂ€HFW ORFDO HGXFDWLRQ VSHQG- ing  —  will  require  $6,943,658  in  property  taxes.  If  OK’d  by  voters  on  Feb.  29,  this  would  translate  into  the  same  munici- pal  property  tax  rate  of  98  cents  per  $100  in  property  value  that  residents  are  currently  paying  for  town  services.

In  sum,  the  researchers  found  a  lot  of  communities  of  like-Âminded  people.  Even  if  they  are  baseless,  conspiracy  theories  spread  rapidly  within  such  communities.

The  consequence  is  the  “proliferation  of  biased  narratives  fomented  by  unsubstantiated  rumors,  mistrust,  and  paranoia.â€?  And  while  the  study  fo- cuses  on  Facebook  users,  there  is  little  doubt  that  something  similar  happens  on  other  social  media,  such  as  Twitter  —  and  in  the  real  world  as  well. 6WULNLQJ WKRXJK WKHLU ÂżQGLQJV DUH 'HO 9LFDULR DQG KHU FRDXWKRUV GR QRW mention  the  important  phenomenon  of  “group  polarization,â€?  which  means  that  when  like-Âminded  people  speak  with  one  another,  they  tend  to  end  up  thinking  a  more  extreme  version  of  what  they  originally  believed.  Whenever  people  spread  misinformation  within  homogeneous  clusters,  they  also  inten- sify  one  another’s  commitment  to  that  misinformation.

ACSU’s  per  pupil  spending  rate  will  become  a  blend  of  the  member  schools’  rates  with  Mary  Hogan,  currently  substantially  lower  than  the  others.  ACSU  voters  outside  of Â
Middlebury  approving  the  merger  will  make  the  opposite  trade.  They  will  receive  measurable  tax  breaks  for  the  next  several  years  in  exchange  for  less  governance  via  one  board  member  per  town  on  the  merged  ACSU  board.

Letters to the Editor Nuovo  has  been  a  great  legislator We  would  like  to  add  our  ap- preciation  and  admiration  of  Rep.  Betty  Nuovo  to  the  warm  and  elo- quent  comments  in  John  Flowers’  recent  article. Betty’s  colleagues  and  friends  have  beautifully  captured  much  of  the  spirit  and  substance  of  her  long  service  to  Middlebury,  Addison  County  and  Vermont. Her  dedication  and  availability  to  her  constituents,  her  helpfulness  to  fellow  legislators,  her  honesty,  her  seemingly  boundless  energy  and  capacity  for  work  along  with  her  humor,  good  cheer  and  enthusiasm  are  described  with  well-Âearned  af- fection  and  gratitude.  She  has  been Â
a  strong  voice  for  many  important  causes,  especially  including  mar- riage  equality  in  the  very  early  days. We’ll  miss  seeing  Betty  going  door-Âto-Âdoor  at  election  time  and  hearing  her  colorful  commentaries  on  proceedings  in  Montpelier;Íž  but we know she’ll continue to work for the good of our state and its citizens. It  has  been  a  pleasure  and  privi- lege  to  support  Betty’s  campaigns  and  to  have  her  as  our  representa- tive.  We  wish  her  a  long,  happy,  healthy  retirement.

Carbon  pollution  tax  has  merits I  read  Angelo  Lynn’s  recent  edi- torial,  “A  hotter  world  creates  the  climate  for  political  changeâ€?  with  great  interest.  In  it  he  details  the  need  for  meeting  the  challenge  of  climate  change  through  a  series  of  measures  including  putting  a  price  on  carbon  pollution. Although  the  major  part  of  the  article  deals  with  Bernie  Sanders’  plan  to  reduce  carbon  emissions,  which  I  applaud,  I  believe  that  the  challenge  of  climate  change  is  actually  a  non-Âpartisan  issue  that  anyone  can  support.  Climate  change  is  already  here,  and  the  effects  are  being  felt  by  all  of  us,  whether  we  identify  with  a  politi- cal  party  or  not. Here  in  Vermont,  a  coalition  of  business  groups,  low-Âincome  advocates,  environmental  groups,  and  private  citizens  have  begun  a  serious  discussion  about  us-Â
ing  a  carbon  pollution  tax  to  lower  our  carbon  emissions.  The  proposal  would  help  build  capac- ity  for  weatherization,  alternative  HQHUJ\ IXHO HI¿FLHQW YHKLFOHV DQG other  measures  that  would  help  us  lower  our  use  of  energy.  It  would  stimulate  our  economy  by  creating  new  jobs  in  the  energy  sector  and  allowing  Vermonters  to  keep  most  of  the  money  we  spend  on  energy  circulating  here  in  our  own  state.  More  information  about  the  carbon  pollution  campaign  can  be  found  at  energyindependentvt.org.  I  believe  there  is  a  growing  awareness  among  Vermonters  that  we  cannot  continue  business  as  usual  when  it  comes  to  climate  change.  New  ideas,  such  as  the  car- bon  pollution  tax,  will  help  us  move  more  rapidly  to  a  sustainable  future.

Soil  agronomist  makes  good  point A  few  months  back  there  was  a  letter  to  the  editor  talking  about  the  risks  of  no-Âtill  farming:  It  can  in- crease  runoff  of  soluble  phosphates,  says  the  research.  But  that  assumes  adding  phosphates.  Till  farming  has  its  own  runoff  problems,  including  soil  erosion  and  the  runoff  of  undis- solved  phosphorus,  which  breaks  down  over  time. Yesterday  I  came  across  a  pre- sentation  by  a  soil  agronomist,  Ray Â

Town leaders struggle with powerline Selectboard  members  in  New  Haven  split  over  Vt.  Green  Line By  GAEN  MURPHREE NEW  HAVEN  —  A  recent  vote  on  the  proposal  to  build  a  large  converter  station  to  accommodate  a  400-Âmegawatt  power  line  that  would  bring  renewable  energy  through  New  Haven  revealed  a  selectboard  divided  in  its  assessments  of  the  project’s  pros  and  cons  of  the  project. The  Vermont  Green  Line  project  would  bring  New  Haven  roughly  $1  million  annually  and  a  number  of  other  enticements,  according  to  developers’  pitch  to  the  town  last  December. But  for  a  town  that  sees  itself  as  badly  used  by  one  utility  project  after  another,  the  dollar  signs  in  some  residents’  eyes  are  equally  met  with  skepticism  and  concerns  from  others  about  quality  of  life. $PRQJ WKH Âż YH PHPEHUV RI WKH New  Haven  selectboard,  one  voted  in  favor  of  the  project,  two  opposed  it,  and  two  abstained  in  a  poll  at  their  Jan.  19  meeting. “It  was  a  test  to  see  who  on  the  selectboard  wants  to  proceed  with  this  vs.  someone  like  me  who  has  more  than  heard  enough  and  doesn’t  want  to  play  this  game  any  more,â€?  said  Selectman  Doug  Tolles.  For  Tolles  the  vote  provided  “a  polaroid  snapshotâ€?  of  where  differ- ent  selectboard  members  stand  in  the  decision-Âmaking  process  vis-Âa-Âvis  the  proposed  converter  station. Tolles  himself  made  the  motion  to  support  the  Vermont  Green  Line  proposal,  which  is  backed  by  Anbaric  Transmission  LLC  and  National  Grid. “I  made  a  motion  —  and  I  made  it  clear  I  had  no  intention  of  voting  for  it  —  but  I  made  a  motion  that  the  selectboard  votes  to  support  the  Anbaric  proposal  as  it  was  proposed,â€?  said  Tolles. Selectman  Jim  Walsh  then  seconded  the  motion.  “They  (the  other  selectboard  members)  asked  me  what  exactly  I  meant  and  I  explained  that  if  you  want  to  see  them  build  this  with  all  the  terms  and  conditions  and  the  offers  they’ve  made  you  vote  yes  and  if  you  want  to  see  them  go  away  you  vote  no,â€?  Tolles  recounted. Selectman  Steve  Dupoise  voted  yes,  Tolles  and  Walsh  voted  no,  and  selectboard  members  Kathleen  Barrett  and  Carole  Hall  both  abstained.

VUHS boys fend off Mount Abe By ANDY KIRKALDY VERGENNES — The Mount Abraham Union High School boys’ basketball team on Friday hung with host Vergennes through most of three quarters, but the Commodores ¿QDOO\ WRRN FKDUJH IRU JRRG ZLWK D game-closing 25-6 surge on the way to a 70-41 victory. The Commodores continued their climb toward .500 by moving to 7-9 after a 1-6 start, while the Eagles dropped to 0-16 and hope to knock off visiting Middlebury on Wednes- day. First-year coach Martin Clark said
the Eagles, who entered this season with limited varsity experience and started four juniors and a sophomore on Wednesday, continue to put out a good effort. “They’re playing hard,” Clark said. “That’s all you can ask. They have a lot of heart. They’ve been through a lot this season, and they just continue to play hard. And they’re going to be rewarded for it someday. I hope it’s soon.” The Eagles trailed by as many as 20 in Friday’s second quarter and by 35-18 at the half before sophomore forward Jackson Counter helped

spark a third-quarter rally with sev- en of his team-high 13 points, two assists and strong rebounding. Counter’s three-pointer at 0:30 made it 45-35, VUHS, and gave Mount Abe hope. But four VUHS throws made it 49-35 after three pe- riods. Then VUHS opened the fourth quarter with an 8-0 run — including three hoops in the paint — in a span of 4:12. “I’ve got to give it to the boys, they didn’t quit. And when we got
it back within 10, I thought maybe we’d have a chance,” Clark said. “But then our shooting went away again, and they pulled away.” VUHS, moved the ball quickly, something Coach Peter Quinn has been preaching all winter. “One of our goals was not to score all our points off the dribble,” Quinn said. “So I was happy with our team play tonight. We moved the ball bet- WHU :H SOD\HG PRUH XQVHO¿VKO\ :H played with a little bit more trust
in each other on the offensive end, which has also been a season-long goal for us.” The result was a high assist- to-basket ratio, with junior guard Adam Gill and senior forward Josh Dam leading the way with four as- sists each and junior guard Hunter O’Connor adding three. VUHS also picked up many points in the paint, led by senior Josh Lor- (See VUHS vs. Mount Abe, Page 17)

Most  know  that  Denver  is  0-Â4  in  orange,  with  each  of  the  games  a  sec- ond-Âhalf  blowout,  1-Â1  in  white,  and  1-Â0  in  blue,  which  is  now  the  alter- nate  uniform  for  Denver. But  how  about  the  bigger  picture? Ten  of  the  last  11  Super  Bowl  games  have  been  won  by  the  team  wearing  white. The  only  exception  was  the  Green  Bay  Packers,  who  won  Super  Bowl  45  (since  we  are  using  the  Arabic  numerals),  but  otherwise  the  game  has  been  a  whitewash  for  the  last  11  years.

So  here  we  are,  and  it  is  fantastic  that  Denver  joins  Dallas,  New  Eng- land  and  Pittsburgh  as  the  only  four  teams  to  make  eight  Super  Bowl  ap- pearances  each.

Did you know? Facts about pet dander (MS)  —  Did  you  know  even  people  who  don’t  own  pets  may  have  pet  dander  in  their  homes?  Pet  dander  is  the  tiny,  sometimes  micro- scopic  skin  shed  by  cats,  dogs  and  other  warm-Âblooded  animals,  such  as  rodents  and  birds.  Pet  dander  can  be  carried  into  homes  on  people’s  clothing,  which  is  how  even  homes  DQG RIÂż FHV ZLWKRXW SHWV OLNHO\ KDYH pet  dander  in  them. Though  dander  is  natural,  it’s  also  an  allergy  trigger  for  many  people.  But  pet  allergies  are  not  entirely  a Â
result  of  pet  dander,  as  the  American  Lung  Association  notes  that  aller- gens  come  from  sources  other  than  pets’  skin. For  example,  the  ALA  notes  that  urine  and  feces  from  cats,  dogs  and  other  pets  can  cause  allergic  reac- tions  in  some  people.  Dust  from  dried  feces  can  suspend  in  the  air  and  eventually  be  inhaled  by  people  with  allergies,  triggering  a  reaction.  Pet  allergens  can  maintain  their  strength  for  several  months  by  sticking  to  clothing,  walls  and  other  surfaces.
Pet  owners  with  pet  allergies  can  still  keep  their  pets,  but  they  must  be  prepared  to  make  extra  efforts  to  comfortably  coexist  with  their  pets.  Removing  wall-Âto-Âwall  carpet,  keep- ing  pets  off  of  furniture  and  keeping  a  home  clean  and  free  of  clutter  are  some  ways  for  pet  owners  to  reduce  the  symptoms  of  their  pet  allergies.  Wearing  a  mask  while  vacuum- ing  also  can  reduce  the  severity  of  allergy  attacks,  as  vacuums  stir  up  dander  and  other  allergens.  Â

The current list bears the names of only 81 climbers, only 12 of whom hail from Vermont. Fewer than 20 on the list are women. While one would think Bayliss and Ouellette have earned a rest af- ter the Northeast 115, they have no plans to retire their hiking boots. Bayliss wants to do more hiking in the Adirondacks, while Ouellette has set his sights on completing “The Grid.” That involves hiking all 48 of New Hampshire’s 4,000-foot moun- tains every month during a calendar year. Yes, that’s a total of 576 peaks in 12 months. Some of those who have completed The Grid jokingly refer to themselves as “Gridiots.” “I don’t mind pushing my body to a certain point to see what I can do,” Ouellette said.
