Group to help ease pain of rail bridges work Church readies for Middlebury project By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  If  anyone  would  have  good  reason  to  complain  about  the  impacts  of  the  upcoming  replacement  of  the  two  downtown  Middlebury  rail  bridges,  it’s  the  Rev.  Susan  McGarry  of  the  St.  Stephen’s  Episcopal  Church. 0F*DUU\ÂśV FKXUFK RIÂżFH LV OLWHUDOO\ 15  feet  away  from  the  railroad  tracks  and  perhaps  another  30  from  the  dete- riorating  Merchants  Row  bridge  that  will  soon  be  removed  along  with  the  span  on  Main  Street. “My  desk  shakes  sometimes  when  the  train  goes  by,â€?  McGarry  said  on  Monday. But  while  McGarry  and  her  parish- ioners  remain  concerned  about  how  the  bridges  project  could  affect  the  historic  St.  Stephen’s  building,  they  are  not  pushing  for  a  halt  of  the  proj- ect.  They’re  taking  a  page  from  the  Bible  by  metaphorically  turning  the  other  cheek  by  offering  to  help  local  citizens  and  businesses  weather  the  coming  construction  storm.

Monkton,  VT  Homeowner  Recommends  Bristol  Electronics We  decided  to  build  a  garage/shop  and  incorporate  solar  panels.  Dave  from  Bristol  Electronics  came  out  to  advise  us  on  our  options  and  helped  us  with  the  correct  orientation  and  pitch  of  our  roof.  Their  prices  were  less  expensive  than  the  competition  and  for  what  I  believe  is  a  superior  product.  The  installation  was  quick  with  no  problems.  Bristol  Electronics  is  a  locally  owned  and  operated  business  that  delivered  great  service  before,  during,  and  even  now  almost  a  year  later. We  have  been  producing  more  electricity  than  we  can  use  since  May  and  banking  the  credit  with  the  power  company.  We  don’t  anticipate  having  to  pay  another  electric  bill.  I  highly  recommend  solar  power  and  using  Bristol  Electronics  to  install  and  service  it.

VBT  to  leave  Bristol  for  QHZ RIÂżFH in  Williston By  GAEN  MURPHREE BRISTOL  —  After  35  years  in  its  iconic  18th-Âcentury  yellow  farm- house  in  Bristol,  a  well-Âknown  com- pany  that  leads  bicycle  tours  around  the  world  will  pedal  out  of  town  this  spring. VBT  Bicycling  and  Walking  Vaca- tions,  at  one  time  known  as  Vermont  Bike  Tours,  announced  last  Thurs- day  that  it  is  moving  its  headquarters  from  Bristol  to  a  14,500-Âsquare-Âfoot  RIÂżFH VSDFH LQ :LOOLVWRQ SUREDEO\ by  the  end  of  March. “It’s  all  a  tough  decision,â€?  VBT  Chairman  Gregg  Marston  told  the  Independent.  “All  of  our  preferred  vendors  in  Bristol  are  just  wonder- ful,  wonderful  people.  They’ve  treated  us  well.  We’ve  very  much  enjoyed  being  part  of  this  commu- nity  for  so  long.â€?

Letter Â
Much  to  recommend  in  ‘pastoral’  Champlain  Valley I’m  taking  an  online  perma- culture  course  through  Cornell  University  Extension,  and  part  of  my  current  assignment  is  to  write  an  elevator  pitch  for  my  bioregion  to  convince  everyone  to  move  here.  Here  it  is,  addressed  not  to  us,  but  to  the  folk  living  other  places:  I  really  don’t  want  you  to  move  here.  Sorry,  but  part  of  the  charm  of  where  I  live  is  the  low  popula- tion  density.  I’m  here  because  I  fell  in  love  with  a  Middlebury  College  graduate  who  has  loved  the  Cham- SODLQ 9DOOH\ IURP KHU ÂżUVW YLVLW WR campus.  And  this  place  works  for  me.  I  like  the  four  seasons  and  that  they  are  less  extreme  than  those  I  experienced  growing  up  in  a  suburb  of  Minneapolis,  Minn. I  love  the  mountains  —  we  have  a  view  from  our  living  room  of  the  Green  Mountains,  particularly  in  the  winter,  and  there  are  gorgeous  views  of  the  Adirondacks  as  we  drive  nearby. Fall  is  spectacular.  The  coun- tryside  is  mostly  pastoral,  and  you  have  to  go  an  hour  north  or  south  of  where  I  live  to  get  to  a  mall  (though  strip  malls  of  small  stores  are  scat- tered  along  Route  7,  the  largest  traf- ¿F FRUULGRU LQ 9HUPRQW WR WKH ZHVW of  the  Green  Mountains,  which  goes  right  through  Middlebury). Vermont  outlawed  billboards  in  1968,  so  we  aren’t  bombarded  with  ads. And  I  like  the  quiet.  My  wife  and  I  lived  in  parsonages  up  until  last  year  when  we  bought  this  house,  and  the  parsonages  we  lived  in  for  11  years  were  on  busy  roads.  Our  road  is  still  busy  compared  to  most  around  here  —  a  car  goes  by  every  ¿YH PLQXWHV RU VR GXULQJ WKH GD\
and  the  speed  limit  is  35  mph  —  but  at  least  its  not  the  constant  noise  we  had  before,  and  nights  are  quiet  enough  to  sleep  with  the  windows  open  in  summer. I  like  that  Vermont  is  not  on  a  hurricane-Âprone  coast  (though  we  are  close  enough  to  be  affected  at  times:  Irene  wreaked  havoc  with  roads,  homes  and  farms  along  rivers,  especially  in  the  Green  Mountain  corridor,  some  of  which  was  cut  off  from  the  rest  of  the  state  for  months)  and  not  along  active  tectonic  plates.  I  think  it’s  hubris  to  build  solid  structures  on  the  moving  surface  of  our  planet,  particularly  on  its  more  mobile  parts. In  his  book  “The  Control  of  Nature,â€?  John  McPhee  describes  members  of  the  UCLA  geol- ogy  faculty  building  homes  in  the  mountains  even  though  they  know  the  mountains  are  slowly  coming  down.  He  says  that  occasionally  RQH FDQ ÂżQG D ELJ ERXOGHU WKDW KDV rolled  down  right  into  the  city  (and  what  stopped  the  ones  that  don’t  get  that  far?). Are  humans  attracted  to  the  glori- ous  vistas  of  edges  and  willing  to  risk  (or  oblivious  to)  the  dangers  that  come  with  these  locations?  Coasts,  riverbanks,  mountainsides,  islands,  even  the  Yellowstone  basin  (which  is  the  caldera  of  a  supervol- cano,  its  geothermal  features  the  re- sult  of  lava  near  the  surface  —  my  family  owns  a  cabin  in  the  caldera  I  visited  for  a  month  every  summer  growing  up  and  for  at  least  a  week  most  summers  since)  —  these  are  all  popular  places  to  live  and  to  visit  (realtors  say  a  view  is  one  of  the  best  selling  points  of  a  home)  and  they  are  also  places  prone  to Â

A  few  years  back  I  read  a  book  called  “The  Wave:  In  Pursuit  of  the  Rogues,  Freaks,  and  Giants  of  the  Oceanâ€?  (2010,  Susan  Casey)  that  has  me  wanting  to  avoid  ocean  trav- el.  My  dad  lived  in  Palm  Springs,  Calif.,  near  the  San  Andreas  fault.  And  I  read  this  past  summer  that  the  area  where  my  mother  and  stepfather  live,  on  a  cliff  overlook- ing  the  Straight  de  Juan  de  Fuca  in  northwestern  Washington  State  (the  view  from  their  backyard  at  sunset  is  the  most  gorgeous  I  have  ever  seen)  is  in  the  Cascadia  inundation  zone  that  is  315  years  into  an  earth- quake  cycle  that  has  averaged  243  years  over  the  past  10,000  years  (The  New  Yorker,  July  20,  2015).  I’ve  told  my  mom  neither  I  nor  my  family  will  be  visiting. So  live  on  the  edges,  you  who  will.  I’ll  be  sitting  here,  a  bit  too  close  to  the  edge  of  the  continent  for  complete  protection  but  with  two  mountain  ranges  and,  accord- ing  to  Google  Earth,  150  miles  of  land  to  buffer  me.  I  own  two  cars  with  all-Âwheel  drive  and  excel- lent  snow  tires,  I  have  spikes  I  can  attach  to  my  boots  to  go  down  the  driveway  to  get  the  mail,  and  I  own  many  layers  of  warm  clothing  and  gear.

TRAINING FOR PRACTICAL TRADES
PATRICIA  A.  HANNAFORD  Career  Center  Director  Lynn  Coale  stands  in  a  design  and  fabrication  class- room  in  the  Middlebury  school.  On  Town  Meeting  Day  voters  in  17  Addison  County  towns  will  be  deciding  on  a  PHCC  budget  of  just  over  $3.5  million. Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell
Career  center (Continued  from  Page  1) supervisory  unions  that  send  students  to  the  career  center  for  vocational  and  technical  education.  This  means  the  tuition  rate  would  grow  by  $210,  to  a  total  of  $20,454,  for  each  full-Âtime  equivalent  student  who  attends  the  center  next  year. Hannaford  Director  Lynn  Coale  noted  the  proposed  increase  in  next  year’s  tuition  rate  is  substantially  less  than  the  14.7-Âpercent  hike  that  was  ap- proved  by  voters  for  the  current  year.  That  increase,  he  noted,  was  affected  by  declining  enrollment  —  a  trend  that  is  expected  to  continue  —  and  by  the  fact  that  the  tuition  rate  the  previous  year  (2014-Â2015)  had  been  softened  by  $70,000  in  surplus  money. The  career  center  is  funded  based  on  a  six-Âsemester  average  of  full-Âtime  equivalent  students.  The  past  six  se- mesters  have  yielded  an  average  en- rollment  of  only  around  124  students  at  the  center,  which  serves  the  17  Ad- dison  County  communities  that  feed  Mount  Abraham,  Middlebury  and  Vergennes  union  high  schools.  The  Hannaford  Career  Center  is  building  its  2016-Â2017  budget  based  on  an  en- rollment  projection  of  134  full-Âtime  equivalent  (FTE)  students,  according  to  Coale. “Our  enrollments  have  been  go- ing  down,â€?  Coale  said,  adding  the  phenomenon  is  related  to  the  steady  decline  in  students  being  seen  at  MUHS,  Mount  Abraham  and  VUHS.  “What’s  really  interesting  is  that  we  have  these  huge  declines  between  the  fall  and  spring  semesters.  We  had  al- most  160  FTE  students  in  the  fall,  but  we  are  going  to  be  lucky  to  hit  125  this  spring.â€? MORE  ADULT  STUDENTS While  the  career  center’s  high  school  population  is  on  the  decline,  it  has  been  seeing  increased  demand  for  its  adult  technical  education  pro- grams.  They  include  small  engine  repair,  introduction  to  residential  con- struction,  welding  and  gardening,  to  name  a  few.  PHCC  is  proposing  in  its  2016-Â2017  budget  to  use  $40,000 Â
in  revenues  from  the  adult  education  programs  to  offset  some  of  the  tuition  costs. Âł7KDWÂśV VLJQLÂżFDQW ´ &RDOH VDLG Coale  is  anticipating  the  state  of  Vermont  will  level  fund  its  support  grant  for  technical  education  next  year. “We’ve  been  told  it’s  going  to  go  up,  but  I  think  a  lot  of  stuff  can  change  in  the  Legislature  —  especially  this  \HDU ´ KH VDLG DOOXGLQJ WR WKH ÂżQDQ- cial  pressures  facing  the  state  budget.  A  serendipitous  increase  in  the  tech- nical  support  grant  would  reduce  the  PHCC’s  spending  increase  below  the  currently  projected  0.71  percent.

Vermont  Technical  Center  on  Jan.  4  took  over  the  space  formerly  occu- pied  by  Vermont  Interactive  Televi- sion,  a  service  the  Legislature  elected Â
to  stop  funding  last  year.  So  VTC  will  be  using  the  space  to  offer  more  re- mote  classes  and  therefore  provide  more  opportunities  for  area  students  to  earn  college  credit.  The  space  is  located  inside  the  Hannaford  Career  Center  building  on  Charles  Avenue  in  Middlebury. “That’s  going  to  allow  students  in  Addison  County  to  do  nurse’s  aide  training,  LPN  training  and  RN  train- ing,�  Coale  said. The  RN  training  course  started  last  week,  and  the  LPN  course  will  begin  next  fall.  Two  additional  training  labs  will  be  built  in  the  Hannaford  Career  Center  to  support  those  two  pro- grams,  according  to  Coale. “We  can  basically  now  offer  pretty  much  anything  VTC  has  to  offer,�  Coale  said.  Patricia  A.  Hannaford  Career  Cen- ter  directors,  Coale  said,  want  the  center  to  make  a  bigger  community  impact  with  its  equipment  and  facili- ties.  To  that  end,  the  center  has  bud- geted  $13,000  next  year  to  do  more  to  open  center  facilities  up  beyond  the  177  academic  days  each  year.  That  could  include  a  makers  space  during  evening  hours,  according  to  Coale. “We  have  a  lot  of  equipment  we’d  like  to  use  more  with  the  communi- ty,�  Coale  said.

Keep your get-Âhealthy resolution, stay active WILLISTON  —  It  is  documented  that  the  majority  of  New  Year’s  resolutions  fail  and  most  do  so  early  in  the  year,  but  if  your  resolution  involves  improving  nutrition  and  increasing  your  level  of  physical  activity,  the  American  Cancer  Society  is  urging  you  to  stick  it  out  to  reduce  your  cancer  risk. According  to  the  Society,  more  than  half  a  million  Americans  will  die  of  cancer  in  2016,  but  about  one-Âthird  of  cancers  are  linked  to  poor  diet,  physical  inactivity  and  carrying  too  much  weight.  Getting  to  and  staying  at  a  healthy  weight  is  important  to  reduce  the  risk  of  cancer  and  other  chronic  diseases,  such  as  heart  disease  and  diabetes.  Being  overweight  or  obese  increases  the  risk  of  several  cancers,  including  those  of  the  breast  (in  women  past  menopause),  colon  and  rectum,  endometrium  (the  lining  of  the  uterus),  esophagus,  pancreas  and  kidney,  among  others. Being  overweight  can  increase  cancer  risk  in  many  ways.  One  of  the  main  ways  is  that  excess  weight  causes  the  body  to  produce  and  circulate  more  estrogen  and  insulin,  hormones  that  can  stimulate  cancer  growth. The  latest  recommendations  for  adults  call  for  at  least  150  minutes  of  moderate  intensity  or  75  minutes  of  vigorous  intensity  activity  each  week,  or  an  equivalent  combination,  preferably  spread  throughout  the  week.  It’s  also  important  to  limit  sedentary  behavior  such  as  sitting,  lying  down,  watching  television,  or  other  forms  of  screen-Âbased  entertainment. The  American  Cancer  Society  offers  multiple  opportunities  to  train  for  and  participate  in  challenging  physical  endeavors  while  supporting  the  lifesaving  mission  of Â
the  Society,  including  its  annual  Pedal  to  End  Cancer,  a  three-Âhour  indoor  cycling  event  hosted  at  health  clubs  across  New  England;Íž  Bicycles  Battling  Cancer,  a  one-Âday  scenic  bike  ride  through  central  Massachusetts  with  three  different  course  routes  to  attract  all  levels  of  experience;Íž  Hope  on  the  Slopes,  a  ski  and  ride  event  at  Jay  Peak  Resort;Íž  and  Relay  For  Life  Nordic  Style  at  Catamount  Outdoor  Family  Center  in  Williston,  the  only  winter  Relay  in  the  world.  Visit  cancer.org/ getinvolved  for  a  list  of  events  near  you.

Taking aim at cancer with genomic tests BURLINGTON  —  No  two  patients  with  lung  cancer  are  exactly  alike  —  some  are  former  smokers  and  others  have  never  smoked  —  and  often,  different  genetic  mutations  are  responsible  for  their  disease.  While  treatments  exist  to  target  many  of  these  mutations,  cancer  cells  can  be  tricky  to  treat:  they  can  adapt  and  sneak  around  the  targeted  drugs  and  continue  to  grow.

Rates of prediabetes rise, few know they are at risk BURLINGTON  —  One  in  four  Americans  (86  million  people)  have  prediabetes,  up  from  79  million  in  2010,  according  to  the  Centers  for  Disease  Control  and  Prevention  (CDC),  though  only  10  percent  of  those  with  prediabetes  know  they  have  it.  But  with  awareness  and  simple  actions,  people  with  prediabetes  may  pre- vent  or  delay  the  onset  of  diabetes.  The  Greater  Burling- ton  YMCA  is  urging  Ver- monters  to  learn  their  risks  for  prediabetes  and  type  2  diabetes,  and  to  take  preven- tive  steps  to  potentially  reduce  their  chances  of  developing  the  disease. Prediabetes  is  a  condition  in  which  a  per- son’s  blood  glucose  is  elevated,  but  not  high  enough  for  a  diabetes  diagnosis.  Diabetes  is  a  se- rious  health  condition  that  can  lead  to  heart  dis- ease,  stroke,  kidney  failure,  high  blood  pressure  and  blindness.  The  good  news  is  that  prediabetes  is  a  potentially  reversible  condition,  staving  off  the  often  devastating  impacts  of  diabetes. “The  number  of  new  people  with  prediabetes  continues  to  rise  and  with  that  the  importance  of  helping  people  understand  what  a  prediabetes  diagnosis  means,â€?  said  Kristin  Magnant,  Com- munity  Health  Initiatives  Coordinator  for  the  Greater  Burlington  YMCA.  “Type  2  diabetes  affects  not  just  the  person  but  entire  families  as  well,  but  the  good  news  is  that  it  is  possible  to  re- verse  course  —  simple  lifestyle  changes  reduce  the  risk  of  developing  type  2  diabetes  and  the  Y  can  help  people  make  the  necessary  changes  to Â
improve  health.â€? Individuals  can  assess  their  risk  for  prediabe- tes  and  type  2  diabetes  by  taking  a  simple  test  at  YMCA.net/diabetes.  Through  this  assessment,  visitors  can  also  learn  how  lifestyle  choices  and  family  history  help  determine  the  ultimate  risk  for  developing  the  disease.  Several  factors  that  could  put  a  person  at  risk  for  type  2  diabetes  include  race,  age,  weight  and  activity  level.  If  a  person  is  at  risk,  a  dia- betes  screening  conducted  by  a  SK\VLFLDQ FDQ FRQÂżUP D GLDEH- tes  or  prediabetes  diagnosis. The  Greater  Burlington  YMCA  is  helping  address  the  growing  rate  of  prediabe- tes  through  its  YMCA  Diabetes  Prevention  Program.  This  program,  which  is  part  of  the  CDC-Âled  National  Di- abetes  Prevention  Program,  is  designed  to  help  those  at  high  risk  adopt  and  maintain  healthy  lifestyles  and  reduce  their  chances  of  developing  type  2  diabetes. The  YMCA’s  Diabetes  Prevention  Program  classes  are  offered  statewide  and  free  of  charge  WR TXDOLÂżHG SDUWLFLSDQWV WKDQNV WR D SDUWQHUVKLS with  the  Department  of  Vermont  Health  Ac- cess  and  its  Vermont  Blueprint  for  Health  initia- tive.  The  YMCA  Diabetes  Prevention  Program  (YDPP)  is  one  of  six  health  self-Âmanagement  programs  within  the  Blueprint  for  Health.  On  be- half  of  the  state  of  Vermont,  the  Y  oversees  suc- cessful  delivery  of  these  programs,  including  the  YDPP  classes  and  a  Diabetes  Management  pro- gram  for  those  who  are  living  with  the  disease.

Second-Âhalf spark  helps Eagles  past Commodores BRISTOL  —  The  improving  Mount  Abraham  Union  High  School  girls’  basketball  team  used  relentless  pressure  to  pull  away  from  visiting  Vergennes  in  Friday’s  second  half  and  earn  a  50-Â30  victory. The  Eagles  won  for  the  third  time  in  four  tries  and  moved  their  record  to  4-Â8  by  forcing  35  turnovers  and,  after  a  slow  start,  holding  their  own  on  the  boards  with  the  bigger  Com- modores.
