Starksboro teen injured when vehicle hits a moose BOLTON — A young woman from Starksboro who was a passen- ger in a car that hit a moose on Tues- day evening was badly injured;; the driver was killed. Vermont State Police report that a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt driven by 22-year-old Brandon Preedom of Waterbury struck an 800-pound bull moose at a little after 9 p.m. on Tues- day, Oct. 6. Preedom succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Kourtney Cota, 17, a passenger in the car, was transported to UVM Medical Center by the Richmond Rescue Squad for treatment of a head injury. Late on Thursday the hospital reported that Cota’s condi- WLRQ ZDV JRRG 7KH KRVSLWDO GH¿QHV “good” as vital signs stable and within normal limits, patient is con- scious and comfortable, and indica- tors are excellent. Police investigators reported that Preedom’s Cobalt struck the bull moose in the westbound lane of travel on Route 2, the car veered off the northern side of the road and col- lided with, and snapped, a telephone pole and came to rest adjacent to the westbound lane of the road. It did not appear speed or impairment were contributing factors in this col- lision. Police said both occupants of the car were wearing seatbelts.

The plan calls for backcountry skiers to access the glades from two parking areas on Route 73 near the top of the Brandon gap. The Long Trail could be used to access all four of the glades, which run from
the top of Goshen Mountain east- ward to the Bear Brook drainage. Development of the skiing routes, or “lines,” within the four areas would incorporate a braided design, with several lines intersect- ing within one zone. The number of routes per zone would differ depending on the size of the zone and vegetation.

“ We want to thank Dave and everyone at Bristol Electronics for our new solar installation. It looks great on the roof. We had talked to your installers at a job they were doing up the road from us. They were extremely friendly and very willing to answer our questions. We had been thinking of solar and our visit with them cinched it. Dave came out to see our house, collect the information he needed, and explain how everything would work. The installation was so fast. Just love watching the arrow on the meter go the other way!

Where vegetation would be removed, emphasis would be placed on trees that are poorly formed, show signs of insect-infes- tation or disease, or inhibit restora- tion objectives in the area. However, implementation of the project cannot begin yet, pending consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This past April, the Fish and Wildlife Service included the northern long-eared bat on the list of threatened species, a step below the endangered species list. The bat, which can be found in much of the United States, has suffered in (See Skiing, Page 3)

which  the  South  Bingham  Street  schoolhouse  is  located,  according  to  some  local  historical  facts  provided  by  Cornwall  Town  Clerk-ÂTreasurer  Sue  Johnson.  There  was  a  brick  schoolhouse  on  that  piece  of  land  at  the  time  of  this  sale,  a  structure  that  burned  and  was  replaced  by  the  current  wooden  version  in  1890,  Johnson  said.  The  school  was  used  for  all  grades  until  1951,  after  which  schoolhouse  No.  5  (as  it  was  known)  was  used  only  for  grades  3  and  4.  The  building  ceased  to  be  used  as  a  school  when  Cornwall’s  Bingham  Memorial  School  opened  its  doors  in  1960,  according  to  Johnson.  Af- ter  that,  the  Cornwall  Fire  Depart- ment  used  the  structure  as  a  meeting  house  for  around  20  years. So  the  South  Bingham  Street  School  has  not  been  used  regularly  for  decades,  resulting  in  it  falling  into  disrepair.

One  seemingly  logical  sugges- tion  is  to  build  a  rail  bypass  around  Middlebury;Íž  this  note  explains  why  that  idea  won’t  happen.  People  who  lived  here  in  the  1960s  and  1970s  remember  the  proposed  plan  to  build  a  easterly  or  westerly  Route  7  bypass.  That  bypass  would  have  eliminated  the  two  90-Âdegree  corners  that  huge  trucks  must  make  in  the  center  of  town.   It  was  a  good Â
idea:  plenty  of  vacant  land  on  both  sides  of  town  for  construction,  and  turns  can  be  made  easily  to  facili- tate  construction.  Yet,  after  lengthy  discussion,  the  college  and  the  town  could  not  agree  on  a  solution  EHFDXVH RI PDQ\ MXVWLÂżDEOH UHDVRQV on  both  sides. The  reasons  arguing  against  a  rail  bypass  today  are  very  differ- ent  than  they  were  for  a  highway  bypass  four  decades  ago.  The  most  obvious  is  that  a  railroad  line  must  be  straight  for  long  distances;Íž  trains  cannot  turn  as  easily  as  autos.  The  second  obvious  changed  reason  is  that  the  land  that  was  vacant  40  years  ago  is  no  longer  vacant Â
mainly  because  of  real  estate  devel- opment. So,  it  seems  that  we  shall  have  a  period  of  tunnel  construction  in  the  near  future.  We  shall  lobby  the  transportation/railroad  folks  to  build  in  such  a  way  as  to  produce  minimal  disruption  to  our  town,  and,  hopefully,  they  will  comply. A  railroad  track  with  many  long  tunnels  is  situated  on  the  western  edge  of  Lake  Champlain.  It  will  be  interesting  to  see  how  future  construction  is  handled  over  there,  since  they  have  so  many  more  daily  trains  than  we  do  over  here.

Addison  Independent,  Monday,  October  12,  2015  —  PAGE  7
Airport (Continued  from  Page  1) proposed  $3.5  million  project,  say- ing  that  a  runway  extension  will  be  key  in  assuring  safer  landings  and  takeoffs. Around  50  airport  neighbors  turned  out  at  the  Middlebury  mu- nicipal  gym  on  Oct.  6  for  the  latest  in  a  series  of  VTrans  meetings  de- signed  to  explain,  and  garner  public  feedback  on,  a  plan  to  extend  the  2,500-Âfoot  runway  by  700  feet  (to  the  north)  for  a  total  of  3,200  feet,  and  to  widen  it  from  the  current  50  feet  to  60  feet. Area  neighbors  have  voiced  sig- QLÂżFDQW FRQFHUQV DERXW WKH SURMHFW which  some  believe  might  create  more  noise,  create  more  air  traf- ¿F DQG EULQJ ODUJHU DLUSODQHV WR WKH Middlebury  airport. 97UDQV RIÂżFLDOV KDYH FDOOHG WKH plan,  and  the  related  move  to  remove  some  trees  at  the  southern  takeoff/ approach  of  the  runway,  an  effort  to  increase  safety  measures  for  pilots  and  those  who  live  near  the  facility. Eddie  Duncan,  a  noise  control  engineer  with  Resource  Systems  Group  Inc.,  told  participants  at  the  Oct.  6  meeting  that  his  company  KDG SODFHG ÂżYH PRQLWRULQJ GHYLFHV on  airport  grounds.  Two  of  them  are  long-Âterm  monitors  that  have  been  in  place  since  Aug.  10,  and  three  are  shorter-Âterm  monitors  that  will  gather  data  for  around  four  weeks,  according  to  Duncan.  One  of  the  long-Âterm  monitors  is  functioning  at  the  southern  end  of  the  airport,  while  the  other  is  functioning  in  the  north- northeast  section  of  the  grounds,  Duncan  said. He  shared  six  days  worth  of  con- tinuous  monitoring  results,  showing  average  noise  levels  of  52  decibels  recorded  at  the  southern  monitoring  device,  and  45  decibels  picked  up  at  the  north-Ânortheast  device.  Dun- can  acknowledged  some  helicopter  operations  at  the  southern  monitor- ing  point,  which  he  said  might  have  spiked  the  readings  during  the  six- day  measuring  period. A  52-Âdecibel  noise  has  a  sound  similar  in  intensity  to  an  electric  fan,  hair  dryer  or  a  running  refrigerator,  background  music  or  large  electrical  transformer  at  100  feet,  according  to  the  website  industrialnoisecontrol. com  and  other  online  sources. But  neighbors  have  argued  that  the  current  airport  noise  is  more  disruptive  than  that,  with  some  con- tending  that  aircraft  sounds  have  drowned  out  backyard  conversations  and  caused  dishes  to  rattle  in  their  homes.
“It  doesn’t  feel  right  to  see  these  numbers,â€?  said  airport  neighbor  Karen  Glauber.  “There  are  times  where  (the  noise  level)  is  far  more  than  that.â€? Guy  Rouelle,  aviation  program  GLUHFWRU IRU 97UDQV VDLG WKH ÂżQDO QRLVH GDWD ZLOO UHĂ€HFW FXUUHQW DLUFUDIW and  helicopter  noise,  as  well  condi- tions  without  such  noise. Neighbors  asked  Rouelle  if  trees  marked  at  the  southern  approach/ landing  could  merely  by  topped  —  as  opposed  to  completely  removed.  They  also  asked  if  there  has  been  D SDWWHUQ RI LQFUHDVHG DLU WUDIÂżF DW airports  at  which  runway  expansion  projects  have  been  completed. Rouelle  said  that  while  whole  sec- tions  of  trees  will  not  be  clear-Âcut,  those  that  need  to  go  will  be  com- pletely  taken  out  to  ensure  they  don’t  have  to  be  repeatedly  trimmed. Rouelle  said  he  did  not  have  data  WR VKRZ WKH DLU WUDIÂżF LPSDFW RI UXQ- way  expansion  projects  at  airports  of  similar  size  to  Middlebury’s. PILOTS  WEIGHING  IN Some  area  pilots  are  urging  VTrans  to  push  forward  with  a  proj- ect  that  they  say  would  make  the  Middlebury  airport  much  easier  to  navigate. One  of  those  pilots  is  Jim  MacK- ay,  who  recently  relocated  to  the  Middlebury  area  from  North  Caro- lina.  MacKay  acknowledged  that  there  is  little  history  of  accidents  at  the  Middlebury  airport,  but  said  conditions  are  such  that  pilots  have  to  really  be  on  their  game  to  ensure  smooth  takeoffs  and  landings. “That  extra  runway  gives  me  margin,â€?  MacKay  said. “We  don’t  necessarily  plan  to  have  a  good  day,  every  day,â€?  he  added.  “We  try  to  plan  for  our  worst  days.â€? He  likened  the  runway  extension  to  the  safety  features  that  people  look  for  when  they  purchase  cars.  Drivers  don’t  plan  to  have  accidents  but  make  sure  their  vehicles  in- clude  airbags  and  anti-Âlock  brakes,  MacKay  said.

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abe Union High School
Otter Valley Union High School is proud to call Amy Jones its Student of the Week. Amy lives in Brandon with her parents. Her older brother, Tyler, is a sophomore at Castleton. Amy has been on the Principal’s List or Scholar’s Roll throughout high school. She took AP Biology as a junior, and is now taking AP Literature, AP Calculus and AP Chemistry, along with advanced Anatomy. In grade 9 she received a Citizenship Award, as well as excellence awards in English, Spanish, History, Biology and Geometry. In grade 11 she was awarded excellence in American Studies, was honored for science and mathematics by the Society of Women Engineers, and was inducted into the National Honor Society. Amy has been on the student council for four years, and in Otter Paws IRU WKUHH 6KH SOD\HG Ă€ HOG KRFNH\ LQ JUDGHV 6KH QRZ SOD\V VRFFHU She has been a starting varsity basketball player since freshman year, and as a junior received the Most Outstanding Player Award, and was selected for the 1st MVL team. She has played varsity softball all four years. In the summer Amy works in the kitchen at Camp Songadeewin. She Amy  Jones also helps with youth basketball clinics and with a summer soccer camp. O.V.U.H.S Outside of school, Amy loves playing with her two black Labs, being with her friends and playing any sport she can. Amy says high school has taught her how to manage her time and how to prioritize. She’s learned that most things aren’t worth stressing about, because things eventually turn out the way they should. If she had to give advice to other students, she’d tell them that high school goes by very fast, so enjoy the time you’re there, and learn as much as you can. After high school Amy will attend college, hopefully out of state (although she loves Vermont!). She plans someday to become an orthopedic surgeon. Mr. Dwyer, Amy’s AP Lit teacher, says, “Amy is a determined student and athlete who gives whatever she is doing total focus. 6KH LV KLJKO\ RUJDQL]HG VHOI GLVFLSOLQHG DQG FRQVLVWHQWO\ FRPSHWHQW LQ PHHWLQJ WKH DPELWLRXV JRDOV VKH VHWV IRU KHUVHOI Âľ We at Otter Valley wish Amy nothing but the best in her future.

Speeding  up  the  electric  car  charger  New  Middlebury  station  juices  up  cars  much  faster Â
GREEN  MOUNTAIN  POWER  and  the  town  of  Middlebury  have  opened  an  NRG  EVgo  Freedom  electric  vehicle  charging  station  in  the  Mill  Street  parking  lot.  It  can  provide  around  80  percent  of  a  battery  charge  in  25  minutes. Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell
MIDDLEBURY  —  Green  Mountain  Power  has  partnered  with  the  town  of  Middlebury  to  open  a  new  station  for  charging  electric  cars  —  one  that  charges  car  batteries  faster  than  earlier  technology.  The  utility  is  also  offering  grants  to  pair  solar  power  producing  arrays  with  electric  car  charging  stations. The  new  NRG  EVgo  Freedom  Station  off  Mill  Street  in  downtown  Middlebury  was  sited  in  Addison  County  so  that  it  would  be  at  a  convenient  location  between  Rutland  and  Burlington. GMP  and  NRG  EVgo  are  installing  at  least  10  Freedom  Stations  statewide  this  year,  increasing  Vermont’s  energy  independence  and  contributing  to  cleaner  air  and  lower  carbon  emissions. “Our  efforts  to  build  a  comprehensive  EV  charging  network  is  making  it  is  easier  and  faster  to  charge  electric  vehicles,â€?  said  GMP  spokeswoman  Dorothy  Schnure.  “Our  goal  is  to  help  Vermonters  save  money  and  reduce  fossil  fuel  use  through  innovative  products  and  services  like  these  chargers,  all  while  continuing  to  provide  reliable,  clean  and  cost- effective  power.â€? The  town  of  Middlebury  was  one  of  the  early  adopters  of  charging  stations. “The  town  of  Middlebury  eagerly  accepted  Green  Mountain  Power’s  offer  to  team  up  to  upgrade,  manage  and  increase  awareness  of  the  town’s  electric  vehicle  charging  station  to  promote  the  use  of  the  station  as  part  of  the  EV  charging  station  network,â€?  Town  Manager  Kathleen  Ramsay  said. Â
She  noted  that  the  original  electric  car  charging  station  has  been  well-Âused  and  appreciated  by  local  commuters  since  its  installation  in  2014. The  EVgo  charging  station  at  the  Middlebury  Mill  Street  parking  lot  replaces  the  existing  charging  station  and  will  have  an  ABB  fast  charger  that  serves  all  electric  vehicles  (Tesla  owners  need  an  adapter),  and  a  dual  port  Level  2  station.  The  GMP  NRG  EVgo  Freedom  Station  is  capable  of  providing  approximately  80  percent  of  a  battery  charge  in  25  minutes  when  using  the  DC  fast-Âcharging  option.  The  chargers  also  have  Level  2  capabilities  that  provide  up  to  24  miles  of  charge  per  hour.  GMP  and  NRG  EVgo  offer  customers  the  option  to  pay  as  they  go  or  sign  up  for  various  monthly  charging  memberships  starting  around  $5.95  a  month.  Memberships  are  available  for  GMP  customers  at  1-Â877- 494-Â3833  or  www.greenmountainpower.com/ evgo,  but  anyone  can  pay  by  credit  card  at  the  charging  station. “We  are  thrilled  to  enhance  our  partnership  with  Middlebury,â€?  said  Schnure.  “Helping  people  become  comfortable  driving  low- emission  electric  vehicles  is  a  win  for  everyone.â€? CHARGE  A  CAR  WITH  SOLAR  POWER Meanwhile,  Green  Mountain  Power  is  hoping  to  power  some  of  its  electric  car  charging  stations  with  solar  power.  Late  last  week  the  company  announced  that  it  was  offering  nearly  $50,000  in  four  separate  grants  to  build  four  solar-Âpaired  electric  vehicle  charging  stations.  Applications  will  be  accepted  until  Oct.  23. “We  are  so  excited  to  be  placing  more  charging  stations  where  lots  of  Vermonters Â

People  and  businesses  can  apply  for  the  four  grants.  Grant  recipients  will  be  chosen  based  on  how  suitable  their  proposal  is  for  charging  stations,  including  locating  in  areas  with  high  visibility  and  the  availability  of  activities,  such  as  shopping,  to  engage  people  nearby  while  they  charge  and  help  boost  business  in  downtowns.  Applications  should  be  submitted  via  email  to  Jenn.Cortez@greenmountainpower.com  and  should  include  a  description  of  the  project,  the  location,  and  other  sources  of  funding  to  leverage  the  best  projects.  GMP  will  work  with  the  Clean  Energy  Development  Fund  to  coordinate  these  projects.  “Installing  solar  panels  along  with  the  EV  chargers  is  a  great  way  to  increase  UHQHZDEOH JHQHUDWLRQ ZKLOH FXVWRPHUV ÂżOO up  with  clean  electricity  to  run  their  cars,â€?  Schnure  said.  “This  is  part  of  an  exciting  energy  transformation  we  are  partnering  with  customers  on  —  where  energy  is  generated  and  used  closer  to  home.â€?

The  anger  encourages  me  to  join  class  action  lawsuits  (like  tens  of  thousands  of  Americans  have)  and  write  letters,  demand  answers  and  push  more  stringent  regulatory  legislation. But  the  overwhelming  sense  of  betrayal  also  makes  me  want  to  recede  into  a  cave.  Why  is  it  allowed  for  corporate  executives  who  knowingly  commit  fraud  on  such  a Â
massive  scale  to  simply  resign  from  the  company  with  their  many  millions  and  let  the  corporation  handle  the  blowout?  Shouldn’t  there  be  some  kind  of  personal  accountability  for  these  actions,  or  is  their  “apologyâ€?  really  enough?  While  I  certainly  can’t  proclaim  to  know Â
any  more  than  anyone  else,  one  thing  that  I  have  found  cathartic  in  the  last  couple  of  weeks  since  this  story  has  broken  is  talking  to  other  VW  owners  in  similar  positions.  In  the  end  I  feel  like  a  gullible  sucker.  But  at  least  I’m  a  sucker  who  was  trying  to  do  good,  and  I  guess  that’s  better  than  someone Â

Waxing  101: What  to  know  before  waxing  your  car (MS)  —  Waxing  a  car  is  a  great  way  to  maintain  its  exterior.  Including  waxing  as  part  of  your  routine  vehicle  maintenance  can  protect  the  car  or  truck  from  some  natural  hazards,  including  sun  damage,  pollen  and  the  dirt  and  grime  that  can  accumulate  on  a  car  over  time. Motorists  unfamiliar  with  waxing  may  be  intimidated  by  the  sheer  volume  of  waxes  on  the  shelves  at  their  local  automotive  supply  stores,  which  will  no  doubt  offer  an  array  of  both  liquid  and  paste  waxes  as  well  as  many  spray  waxes.  When  testing  waxes  in  2013,  Consumer  Reports  found  that  liquid  and  paste  waxes  were  relatively  equal  with  regard  to  their  effectiveness,  while  spray  waxes  were  very  convenient  though  not  very  durable.  Waxing  a  vehicle  is  no  small  task,  and  drivers  should  learn  as  much  as  they  can  about  car  wax  and  the  different  types  of  waxes  before  attempting  the  job  themselves. THE  DIFFERENCES  BETWEEN  WAXES In  their  study  of  liquid,  paste  and  spray  waxes,  Consumer  Reports  found  that  paste  waxes  were  easier  to  apply  than  liquid  waxes,  but  that  the  overall  performance  of  paste  waxes  fell  short  of  liquid  waxes.  Liquid  waxes  were  very  durable  and  provided  the  gloss  many  motorists  look  for  when  waxing  their  vehicles.  %XW OLTXLG ZD[HV ZHUH GLIÂżFXOW WR DSSO\ HYHQO\ VRPHWKLQJ ÂżUVW WLPHUV VKRXOG FRQVLGHU ZKHQ choosing  a  wax.  Spray  waxes  were  convenient  and  easy  to  use,  and  many  can  be  wiped  off  without  drying.  But  Consumer  Reports  found  spray  waxes  were  not  as  durable  as  liquid  or Â

How  drivers  can  reduce  fuel  emissions MS)  —  According  to  the  United  States  Environmental  Protection  Agency,  many  cities  across  the  country  can  claim  automobiles  as  their  single  greatest  contributor  to  pollution.  While  emissions  from  individual  cars  are  somewhat  low,  emissions  from  millions  of  vehicles  can  add  up  to  a  substantial  amount  of  pollution,  and  it  takes  residents  working  collectively  to  reduce  those  emissions  and  improve  their  local  air  quality. Hydrocarbons  are  among  the  many  H[KDXVW SROOXWDQWV WKDW ÂżQG WKHLU ZD\ LQWR the  air.  When  fuel  molecules  in  a  vehicle’s  engine  do  not  burn  or  burn  only  partially,  the  resulting  hydrocarbon  emissions  can  contribute  to  ground-Âlevel  ozone,  which  can  irritate  the  eyes,  damage  the  lungs  and  aggravate  existing  respiratory  problems. Â
Carbon  dioxide  is  another  exhaust  pollutant  that  can  affect  air  quality  and  human  health. Reducing  fuel  emissions  is  an  effective  way  for  drivers  to  improve  air  quality  and  preserve  their  own  health,  and  the  following  are  a  few  simple  steps  motorists  can  take  to  do  just  that. ‡ 5HDUUDQJH \RXU ZRUN KDELWV 7HFKQRORJ\ has  changed  how  many  businesses  approach  WKH WUDGLWLRQDO RIÂżFH HQYLURQPHQW DQG PHQ and  women  who  are  looking  to  reduce  fuel  emissions  and  cut  costs  may  want  to  approach  their  bosses  about  rearranging  their  work  KDELWV 7HOHFRPPXWLQJ WR ZRUN HYHQ LI \RX only  do  so  for  one  or  two  days  per  week,  can  drastically  reduce  your  fuel  emissions  over  the  course  of  a  year.  In  lieu  of  meeting  with  clients  or  colleagues  in  person,  which  often  requires  travel,  suggest  teleconferences  or Â

increasing  both  consumption  and  emissions.  While  city  drivers  may  not  be  able  to  avoid  frequent  stops  and  starts,  they  can  avoid  rapid  acceleration  between  those  stops  and  starts.  Drivers  who  do  the  bulk  of  their  driving  on  highways  should  maintain  safe  speeds,  as  driving  too  fast  is  another  way  to  waste  fuel  and  increase  emissions. ‡ (PEUDFH SXEOLF WUDQVSRUWDWLRQ 0DQ\ drivers  never  consider  public  transportation,  but  mass  transit  is  a  great  way  to  save  money,  reduce  fuel  consumption  and  emissions  and  protect  your  automotive  investment.  Over  a  typical  year,  the  cost  of  mass  transportation  will  likely  pale  in  comparison  to  the  amount  of  money  you  spend  on  fuel,  and  your  car  will  last  a  lot  longer  if  you  opt  for  public  WUDQVSRUWDWLRQ DQG DYRLG UXVK KRXU WUDI¿F each  day.
Maintain  your  tire  balance  and  alignment  for  a  smooth  ride (MS)  —  It  is  easy  for  motorists  to  take  their  tires  for  granted  when  everything  is  working  correctly.  Wheels  and  suspension  systems  bear  the  weight  of  cars  and  trucks  and  must  bear  the  brunt  of  rough  roads,  potholes  and  any  additional  obstacles,  so  some  wear  and  tear  is  to  be  expected. Many  drivers  know  to  monitor  their  tire  pressure,  but  it’s  also  important  to  check  for  worn  treads  and  inspect  tires  for  punctures  or  damage.  Proper  tire  alignment  and  balance  also  is  essential  for  a  comfortable  and  smooth  ride. BALANCE Balancing  tires  involves  equalizing  the  weight  of  the  combined  tire  and  wheel  assembly  so Â

When  tires  are  not  properly  aligned,  drivers  may  notice  uneven  tread  wear.  Misaligned  tires  also  may  cause  the  vehicle  to  pull  to  the  left  or  right.  Drivers  who  notice  their  steering  wheel Â
is  off-Âcenter  or  vibrating  when  they  are  driving  may  need  to  adjust  their  tires’  alignment.  Camber,  or  the  inward  or  outward  angle  of  the  tire  when  viewed  from  the  front  of  the  vehicle,  will  be  adjusted.  In  addition,  “toe,â€?  or  the  extent  to  which  the  tires  turn  inward  or  outward  when  viewed  from  above,  will  be  adjusted.  Caster  angle  also  helps  balance  steering,  stability  and  cornering.  Caster  is  the  angle  of  your  steering  axis  when  viewed  from  the  side  of  your  vehicle. When  tires  are  balanced  correctly  and  aligned,  vehicles  will  offer  a  smooth  ride  with  little  to  no  vibrations.  Having  tires  serviced  can  maximize  their  performance  and  lifespan.

TRASH Â BURNING
A  Smokestack  in  Every  Neighborhood
Kids  are  especially  at  risk. Research  has  proven  that  kids  absorb  up  to  six  times  more  pollution  through  their  lungs  than  adults  breathing  the  same  air.  Not  only  that,  but  they  are  more  at  risk  than  adults  because  their  immune  systems  aren’t  yet  fully  developed.  Poisons  released  from  burning  trash  at  home  are  usually  found  right  at  ground  level,  directly  contaminating  the  very  places  where  our  children  play.
It’s  illegal,  too.
Households  that  burn  their  own  trash  create  the  largest  known  source  of  dioxins,  one  of  the  most  toxic  substances  known.  Unlike  natural  yard  waste,  all  trash  contains  items  that  become  toxic  when  burned. Please  call  the  Addison  County  Sheriff  anytime  at   388-Â2981  to  report  illegal  burning.  You  may  choose  to  remain  anonymous. You  may  also  call  the  Addison County  Solid  Waste  Management District  (388-Â2333)  to  report  illegal  burning  or  dumping  of  trash.

2015 Garden Game
Barbara LaDuc stopped by the week before last to VKRZ XV D YHU\ LPSUHVVLYH VXQà RZHU WKDW VKRZHG up in her garden in Orwell. She said she didn’t plant DQ\ VXQà RZHUV DQG WKDW WKLV RQH ZDV D ´YROXQWHHU ¾ It was 18 inches across. Very big, but not quite large enough to take over the lead for the category. We were very happy to see Fran Putnam VWRS E\ RXU RIÀ FHV ODVW week. She has been a regular player in our Game for the last few years and always brings in a big rutabaga grown in her garden in Weybridge. This one was no exception at 21.5 inches around. Fran said it was too much for her and her husband to eat, so she planned to donate it to the Weybridge Elementary School. Spencer White dropped in last week to show us some very cool gourds he grew in his garden in Ferrisburgh. Spencer said the long one was a snake gourd and the rounder one was a bird house gourd. The snake gourd was 40 inches long and 12 inches around. The bird house gourd was 18 inches tall and 25 inches around. We don’t have a category for gourds, but we were still very excited that he brought them in. We think it would be fun to paint them for Halloween! Pam Thomas has been watching the Garden Game front-runners closely and knew she had a cantaloupe at home to beat our leader. The big fruit from her garden in Whiting was 19 inches around! She also brought in a pepper and an onion. The pepper was not quite big enough to take the lead at 13 inches around by 11 inches around, but the onion will take over the frontrunner spot at 15.5 inches around! Walter Kuehn has been a winner in our Game in past years and this year brought in a big beet from his garden in Waltham. Walter said that all his other beets were normal in size, but this one was just huge! It was 14.25 inches around but didn’t quite beat the frontrunner beet. Gary Miller has been waiting to pick a huge carrot from his garden in Middlebury. He À QDOO\ SLFNHG LW WKLV week and we were amazed at how big it was! It measured 21 inches long and 10.5 inches around. Gary already had the front-runner spot for the category and this one will beat it and take the lead. We had another huge beet come in last week with Conrad Waite from Shoreham. He said he had been watching it for a ZKLOH LQ KLV JDUGHQ DQG GHFLGHG LW ZDV À QDOO\ WLPH to pick it. It was an impressive 20.25 inches around, and probably the closest one we’ve had to our frontrunner size. Conrad said he just threw seeds in the ground and let them grow. He says all they need is water, sun and love. ADDISON COUNTY

We thought that Fran Putnam would be our rutabaga winner this year, but we had a surprise visit from Richard Lilly who brought in a rutabaga bigger than any we had ever seen! Richard grew this massive veggie in his garden in Bridport. We measured it as 29 inches around! He said he only had two that were close enough in size and his grandkids decided this one was the bigger of the two. Walter Phelps has played our Game in the past and we were glad to see him return with a big sweet potato. He grew the impressive veggie in his garden in Orwell and it was a whopper at 18 inches long and 17 inches around. Walter joked that he might save it for Thanksgiving and forgo the traditional turkey and just have this as his main entree instead. We think it would make a nice centerpiece on a Thanksgiving table. We worried all week long that we might not get any pumpkin entries for our Game, so we were really excited when Sarah McGrath came in with a huge pumpkin from her garden in Starksboro. This big orange squash was 51 inches around by 58 inches around. Sarah said she had been selling her other pumpkins at her roadside stand, but no one wanted this big lopsided one.

HAVRICK - 10  yrs,  Neutered  Male,  Chocolate  Lab  Mix,  Havrick  is  a  delightful  older  dog  who  was  surrendered  with  is  friend  Mack  because  their  living  situation  was  unsafe.  He  is  sweet,  shy,  and  gets  along  well  with  other  animals  and  kids.  He  has  not  lived  with  cats  before  but  seems  unfazed  by  them  at  the  shelter. Â

We  must  control  feral  cat  populations By  WARREN  KING In  the  U.S.,  feral  and  domestic  cats  kill  1.4  billion  birds  annually.  George  Fenwick,  president  of  the  American  Bird  Conservancy,  says,  “Irresponsible  pet  owners  are  the  reason  that  cat  predation  is  now  the  leading  cause  of  bird  mortality  in  the  United  States.â€?  Management  of  feral  cat  populations  is  an  ongo- ing  and  controversial  problem  throughout  the  country.  A  research  study  released  in  an  online  open  access  journal  in  November  2014  (Miller,  P.S.  et  al.,  PLoS  ONE  9(11):  e113553)  FRPSDUHG IRU WKH Âż UVW WLPH WKH effectiveness  of  Trap,  Neuter,  Release  (TNR)  treatment  with  Trap  and  Removal  (TR)  or  short-Âterm  contraception  in  isolated  colonies  (where  cats  neither  join  nor  leave  a  colony)  and  open  colonies  of  feral  cats.  Open  colonies  far  more  closely  resemble  actual  conditions. The  research  models  showed  that  cat  TR Â
reduced  cat  populations  faster  and  more  effectively  than  TNR  or  contracep- tive  treat- ment.  TNR  did  reduce  cat  popula- tions,  but  because  non-Âneutered  feral  cats  are  likely  to  join  colonies,  and  not  all  cats  in  open  colonies  can  be  caught  and  neutered,  popu- lation  decline  is  much  slower  and  less  certain  than  with  TR-Âtreated  colonies.  The  authors  conclude  “removal  not  only  eliminates  the  reproductive  potential  of  treated  animals,  but  immediately  subtracts  them  from  the  population.â€?  The  authors  of  the  study  included  several  prominent  TNR  proponents  as  well  as  TR  proponents. Domestic  cat  numbers  have  tripled  in  the  last  40  years.  TNR  is  not  a  responsible  answer  to  this  problem  when  there  are  better  ones  available.  TNR  proponents  seem  to  be  concerned  about  the  fate  of  individual  cats  at  the  expense  of  individual  birds.  Editor’s  note:  Warren  King,  a  Ripton  resident  since  1989,  has  been  involved  in  bird  conserva- tion  for  50  years,  working  for  the  Smithsonian  Institution,  the  Keewaydin  Foundation,  and  as  a  board  member  of  Audubon  Vermont  and  Otter  Creek  Audubon  Society,  the  Addison  County  chapter  of  National  Audubon.
REGGIE -  6  years,  Neutered  Male,  DSH,  Grey.   Reggie  is  an  incredibly  sweet  and  affectionate  cat  who  loves  to  cuddle.   He  was  brought  to  Homeward  Bound  as  a  stray,  and  has  since  snuggled  his  way  into  all  of  our  hearts.

County  beekeepers  plan  first  ever  association  meeting MIDDLEBURY  —  Local  beekeepers  have  organized  the  first  meeting  of  the  Addison  County  Beekeepers  Associa- tion,  which  will  take  place  on  Thursday,  Oct.  15,  from  6:30-Â8  p.m.  at  the  Ilsley  Library  in  Middlebury.  Addison  County  resident  and  Vermont  state  apiculturist  Steve  Parise  will  be  the  featured  speaker.  “We  have  beekeepers  in  our  county  such  as  Ross  Conrad,  Chaz  Mraz  and  Kirk  Webster  who  are  recognized  on  the  national  level  for  their  expertise.  Others  are  very  active  in  our  state  beekeepers  association.  I  just  thought  it  was  time  to  get  us  all  together  as  a  group,â€?  said  one  of  the  meeting  organizers,  Daphne  Jensen  of  Addison.  According  to  the  Vermont  Agency  of  Agriculture,  Vermont  beekeeping  has  been  growing  steadily  over  the  past  10  years.  There  are  approximately  2,000  beekeepers  owning  about  11,000 Â
hives  in  the  state.  While  most  are  hobby  beekeepers  with  just  a  few  hives  kept  at  home,  there  are  several  commercial  operations  with  upwards  of  1,200  hives  and  dozens  of  locations  each,  mostly  on  farms,  primarily  on  the  western  side  of  the  state,  along  the  Champlain  Valley.  Addison  County  is  a  very  active  area  for  beekeeping,  contributing  prominently  to  those  numbers. The  meeting  is  open  to  seasoned  veterans,  beginners  and  people  who  are  interested  in  learning  more  about  beekeeping.  “This  is  an  opportunity  to  network,  share  experiences  and  learn  what’s  happening  locally.  We’re  hear- ing  from  beekeepers  beyond  the  county  about  this  meeting,  so  we  think  we’ll  re- ally  be  filling  a  need,â€?  said  co-Âorganizer  Howard  Hall  of  Panton. Attendees  are  asked  to  RSVP  to  acbavt@gmail.com.
