Don’t choose ‘easy’
Retirement gave Ken Perine time for the Long Trail hike he has always dreamed about By  CHRISTY  LYNN MIDDLEBURY  —  To  many  people,  retirement  provides  the  opportunity  to  rest  and  relax  after  a  career  (or  series  of  careers)  that  had  kept  them  running  and  dictating  day-Âto-Âday  choices  for  what  can  be  45  years  or  more.  Sitting,  resting  and  relaxing  is  what  they  crave  most.  Luxuries  like  reading  novels  and  newspapers  become  easy  to  ¿ W LQ KREELHV OLNH NQLWWLQJ RU H[SORULQJ art  are  the  center  of  attention,  time  to  prepare  delicious  meals  that  previously  were  too  rushed  through  is  easy  to  come  by.

 KEN  PERINE,  63,  retired  from  his  post  as  president  of  the  National  Bank  of  Middlebury  in  December  of  2014.  He  then  embarked  on  a  training  program  that  en- abled  him  to  hike  the  full  length  of  the  Long  Trail.  Perine  hiked  the  trail  in  a  series  of  20  day  hikes  that  took  him  four  months  to  complete.

3D mammography detects 41% more invasive breast cancers and reduces false positives by UP TO 40%. This means one simple thing: early detection and improved accuracy.
“Women  age  40  and  older  should  have  a  mammogram  every  year  and  should  continue  to  do  so  for  as  long  as  they  are in  good  health�              –  American  Cancer  Society
FAQS
Q: How Does 3D technology work? A: By capturing multiple slices of the breast from several angles, creating a layered 3D image resulting in a more accurate diagnosis. Q: Is there additional compression? A: No additional compression is required. Q: Why do hospitals and doctors now recommend 3D mammography? A: This technology is clinically proven, and it’s the most accurate mammogram available. It is the biggest breakthrough in breast cancer detection in 30 years. Q: Will I be exposed to more radiation? A: Porter uses the lowest dose available for 3D mammography. Very little x-ray dose is used during the 3D mammography exam, just about the same as a standard 2D mammogram, @MC KNVDQ SG@M @ SQ@CHSHNM@K ŰKL L@LLNFQ@L The total patient dose is well within the FDA safety standards for mammography.

Seniors  get  up  to  speed  with  new  technology By  LEE  J.  KAHRS BRANDON  —  Technology  is  inextrica- bly  woven  into  today’s  culture.  The  modern  cellphone  is  a  computer  unto  itself.  There  are  desktops,  laptops,  notebooks,  iPads,  even  computer  watches.  Automatic  teller  machines,  grocery  store  registers,  gas  pumps  —  even  our  cars  are  computerized.  Social  media  has  become  a  catchphrase  for  how  many  people  stay  in  touch  via  computer,  be  it  on  Facebook,  Twitter,  Instagram  or  basic  email. Many  people  who  came  of  age  and  into  the  workplace  in  the  last  40  years  have  become  so  familiar  with  computer  technology  that  they  can’t  imagine  life  without  it. But  there  is  an  entire  generation  of  older  people  who  missed  the  world’s  computer  juggernaut.  Many  seniors  moved  through  adulthood  without  the  need  for  technology  DQG WRGD\ Âż QG WKHPVHOYHV LQ QHHG RI RQH on-Âone  assistance  to  stay  current  and  stay  in  touch.

The  couple  got  the  idea  for  the  business  through  Devereux’s  work  as  a  home  care  aide  for  the  elderly.  They  saw  that  many  seniors  had  the  desire  to  use  computers,  but  didn’t  know  where  to  go  for  help.  Others  already  had  the  hardware,  but  were  encountering  technical  issues  they  did  not  have  the  knowl- HGJH WR Âż [ WKHP 6WLOO PRUH ZDQWHG WR OHDUQ how  to  use  Facebook  or  Skype,  the  video  conferencing  software  that  allows  the  user  to  see  the  person  they  are  talking  to  on  their  computer  screen.

If  your  job  offers  no  401(k),  you  still  have  options Tip  1:  Save  up  for  your  initial  deposit.  When  you  decide  to  open  a  retirement  savings  account,  it  will  be  in  the  form  of  an  IRA.  You’ll  need  a  minimum  deposit  to  get  started.  With  VRPH EDQNV RU Âż QDQFLDO LQVWLWXWLRQV \RX FDQ open  an  IRA  for  as  little  as  $100  if  you  set  up  regular  contributions.  More  often,  the  mini- mum  deposit  is  $1,000. You  can  start  putting  money  aside  today  to  get  your  deposit  together.  Can  you  save  $25  a  week?  If  it  sounds  like  a  lot,  think  of  ways  to  cut  your  expenses.  Maybe  you  can  pack  lunch  instead  of  buying  it,  or  eat  at  home  more  often  than  eating  out.  If  you  stop  to  get  coffee  in  the  morning,  try  making  your  own  instead. Tip  2:  Choose  between  a  Traditional  or  Roth  IRA.  $Q ,5$ KDV WD[ EHQHÂż WV WKDW UHJXODU savings  accounts  don’t  have.  You  can  open  an  IRA  and  contribute  up  to  $5,500  a  year.  If  you  are  age  50  or  over,  you  can  contribute  an  extra  $1,000  a  year. You  have  a  choice  between  a  Traditional  IRA  and  a  Roth  IRA.  The  difference  is  in  how  your  money  gets  taxed.  Your  contributions  to  a  Traditional  IRA  aren’t  taxed  going  in,  but  get  taxed  when  you  take  the  money  out  in  retirement.  The  gains  your  money  makes  in  the  IRA  (the  “gainsâ€?)  are  also  taxed  when  you  withdraw  it. With  a  Roth  IRA,  your  contributions  are  taxable,  but  you  don’t  pay  any  taxes  on  your  withdrawals  in  retirement.  Your  gains  aren’t  taxed,  either.  Some  experts  say  the  Roth  IRA  is  a  better  deal  than  a  Traditional  IRA. The  general  rule  with  IRAs  is  that  you Â
can  begin  to  take  withdrawals  without  a  tax  penalty  beginning  after  you  turn  age  59-Â1/2.  For  a  more  detailed  understanding  of  the  rules,  read  AARP’s  tip  sheet  “Saving  for  Retirement  Through  IRAsâ€?  at  http://bit.ly/1uB5tOu. Tip  3:  Open  up  your  IRA.  You  have  several  options  on  where  to  open  your  IRA.  You  could  head  to  a  traditional  bank,  but  your  investment  options  may  be  limited.  Credit  unions  are  worth  ORRNLQJ LQWR ,I \RX EHORQJ WR RQH \RX PD\ Âż QG you  can  open  an  IRA  with  a  low  initial  contri- bution.  Plus,  you  may  have  a  wider  range  of  investment  options  than  with  a  bank.  You  could  DOVR FRQVLGHU WKH ELJ LQYHVWPHQW Âż UPV OLNH Vanguard,  Fidelity,  T.  Rowe  Price  or  others. :KHQ \RX ORRN LQWR \RXU RSWLRQV Âż QG RXW what  fees  you  will  be  charged.  Some  institu- tions  charge  an  annual  maintenance  fee,  for  example,  but  if  you  manage  your  account  online,  they  may  waive  it. Tip  4:  Choose  your  investments.  When  you  save  through  an  IRA,  you  have  choices  about  how  to  put  your  money  to  work  for  you.  Depending  on  where  you  open  it,  you  can  pick  IURP LQYHVWPHQWV WKDW HDUQ LQWHUHVW OLNH FHUWLÂż cates  of  deposit  (CDs)  or  money  market  funds.  When  you  have  a  long  time  (10  or  more  years)  before  you  need  the  money,  it  may  be  better  to  choose  investments  that  can  potentially  earn  more  money  for  you,  like  mutual  funds. For  example,  you  could  invest  in  a  “stock  mutual  fund.â€?  Think  of  it  as  a  bucket  that  holds  investments  in  different  companies.  When  the  companies  do  well,  your  gains  grow.  There’s  a Â
risk  that  they  won’t  do  well,  too,  which  could  cause  investment  losses.  Over  a  long  time  period,  though,  mutual  funds  are  more  likely  to  provide  gains  and  do  better  for  you  than  interest  bearing  investments  like  CDs.  To  learn  more  about  investing,  see  AARP’s  tip  sheet  “Investing  for  the  Long  Haulâ€?  at  http://bit. ly/1uB5stU. Tip  5:  Make  your  saving  automatic.  The  best  way  to  save  for  a  long-Âterm  goal  like  retirement  is  to  make  it  automatic.  When  you  open  an  IRA,  you  can  give  the  institution  your  bank  information  (routing  number  and  account  number,  both  found  on  your  checks).  Then  identify  how  much  you  would  like  to  contrib- ute  and  how  often.  If  you  get  a  raise  down  the  road,  give  your  retirement  savings  a  raise,  too,  by  increasing  your  contribution. You  can  do  this.  The  biggest  obstacle  to  saving  is  getting  started.  Once  you  start,  you’ll  ¿ QG WKDW \RX ZRQÂśW HYHQ PLVV WKH PRQH\ \RXÂśUH putting  away.  And  remember,  the  money  is  JRLQJ WRZDUG D JRRG FDXVH ² \RXU IXWXUH Âż QDQ cial  security.

My father died 3 years ago. My 83 year old mother spends her days alone watching TV. I worry about her being lonely. You are right to be concerned. Sitting alone watching TV day after day is probably not good for your mother’s body or mind. Lack of social stimulation and interesting experiences can dull the mind and contribute to memory decline. Sitting for long periods weakens the muscles. Balance and mobility can worsen. What’s more, your mother needs fun and pleasant experiences to avoid depression and loneliness. With your father’s recent death, her life changed in a big way. It’s never too late to restructure life, and Elderly Services can help. Our social workers can help your mother and you explore her feelings and interests. We can help her find the motivation to try something new.

Blue-Âgreen  algae  is  causing  havoc  in  New  England  lakes The
By  MADELINE  BODIN It  came  from  the  lake.  It  is  a  life  form  nearly  as  old  as  life  itself.  Living  peace- fully  in  the  depths  for  eons,  it  is  awakened  by  human- kind’s  abuse  of  the  envi- ronment.  It  strikes  out  with  toxins  that  attack  nerves  or  the  liver.  Attempts  to  kill  it  only  make  it  more  toxic. It  sounds  like  the  plot  of  a  1950s  horror  movie.  But  this  horror  played  out  in  lakes  and  ponds  across  Vermont  and  New  Hampshire  on  hot,  sunny  days  in  late  summer.  This  year,  a  Sep- tember  heat  wave  extended  the  season  of  blue-Âgreen  algae  blooms  past  Labor  Day.  In  the  second  week  of  Septem- ber  there  were  blooms  in  Missisquoi  Bay,  a  northern,  shallow  bay  of  Lake  Champlain,  and  St.  Albans  Bay,  an- other  lake  trouble  spot.  That  same  week,  blooms  were  reported  in  Lake  Carmi  in  Westcott,  Vt.,  and  in  Otter- nick  Pond,  in  Hudson,  N.H.  Blue-Âgreen  algae  blooms  appear  as  dense,  green  clouds  in  the  water,  like  pea  soup  or  green  paint.  They’re  un- pleasant  to  swim  through,  can  smell,  and  can  reduce  oxygen  in  the  water.  They  also  produce  toxins  that  can  make  people  sick  and,  in  rare  instanc- es,  kill  dogs  that  ingest  them.  Despite  the  name,  blue-Âgreen  al- gae  are  not  algae  at  all  but  something  even  more  primordial.  Blooms  are  comprised  of  masses  of  cyanobacte- ULD ÂłDPRQJ WKH ÂżUVW IRUPV RI OLIH WKDW evolved  3.5  billion  years  ago,â€?  ex- plained  James  Haney,  a  biologist  who  leads  a  lab  at  the  University  of  New  Hampshire  dedicated  to  studying  these  organisms.  &\DQREDFWHULD DUH FODVVLÂżHG ZLWK bacteria  because  their  DNA  isn’t  neat- ly  packaged  inside  a  nucleus  like  our  own,  and  they  are  single-Âcelled.  How- ever,  cyanobacteria  differ  from  most  bacteria  in  their  ability  to  photosynthe- size;Íž  that  is,  make  their  own  food  from  water,  carbon  dioxide  and  sunlight  (they  also  need  nutrients,  just  as  plants  do).  Cyan  is  a  blue-Âgreen  color,  but  species  in  this  group  can  also  create  blooms  that  are  white,  red  or  brown. There  are  thousands  of  species  of  cyanobacteria,  but  scientists  are  most  familiar  with  the  relatively  few  that  IRUP Ă€RDWLQJ FRORQLHV XQGHU FHUWDLQ conditions  and  release  toxins.  These  toxins  serve  the  cyanobacteria  in  many  ways,  explained  Haney,  includ- ing,  in  one  case,  regulating  iron.  Cya- nobacteria  tend  to  release  toxins  when  they  die,  so  killing  them  with  chlorine  may  temporarily  make  matters  worse.  Boiling  kills  the  cyanobacteria,  said  Haney,  but  it  won’t  destroy  the  toxin.  Although  it’s  easy  to  think  of  these  organisms  as  a  scourge,  they’re  a  natu- ral  part  of  the  ecosystem  and,  in  most  conditions,  exist  at  lower  population  levels  where  you  won’t  even  notice  their  presence.  Typically,  they  become  a  problem  in  response  to  pollution. Andrew  Schroth,  a  geologist  at  the  University  of  Vermont,  is  studying  the  water  conditions  that  produce  toxic  colonies.  “What  they’ve  seen  in  Lake  Erie  is  that  the  blooms  are  driven  by  how  much  phosphorus  comes  into  the  system  during  spring  runoff,  from  March  to  June,â€?  he  explained.
Phosphorus  is  a  pol- lutant  from  fertilizers,  some  detergents,  ma- nure  and  human  waste.  It  feeds  the  blooms  that  form  in  July  and  Au- gust,  when  the  water  gets  warm.  It  can  linger  in  water  bod- ies  over  time.  The  phosphorus  trigger  works  dif- ferently  in  Lake  Champlain,  Schroth  said.  There,  when  water  is  calm  enough,  phosphorus  is  released  from  the  sediment.  In  shallow  water,  both  phosphorus  and  light  are  in  reach  of  the  cyanobacteria.  Add  warm  water  and  you  have  all  the  ingredients  for  a  population  surge  —  and  a  cyanobacte-Â

Pet Pages 2SLQLRQV FRQĂ LFWV EHWZHHQ FDWV ELUGV DQG SHRSOH Family  brings  outdoor  cats  inside  to  help  protect  native  wildlife Almost  two  years  ago  a  new  family  from  Utah  moved  into  our  East  Middlebury  neighborhood  to  rent  the  house  next  door  to  ours.  We  welcomed  Josh  and  Amanda  Jones,  their  two  sons  Trystan  (10)  and  Gavin  (8)  and  their  two  small  dogs,  Copper  and  Daisy.  Awhile  later  they  added  two  adorable  kittens  to  the  family. As  the  cats  grew  and  became  adults  they  were  kept  outside  most  of  the  time  except  on  cold  winter  nights  when  they  were  allowed  inside.  When  the  boys  came  over  to  say  hello  and  the  cats  followed  we  asked  them  to  take  the  cats  home,  away  from  where  we  fed  the  birds.  Soon,  though,  we  and  other  neigh- bors  who  also  had  feeders  were  seeing  the  cats  coming  into  their  \DUGV ODWHU Âż QGLQJ GHDG ELUGV LQ the  feeder  areas.  One  neighbor  was  KRUULÂż HG WR VHH IURP KHU NLWFKHQ window  one  of  the  cats  killing  a  baby  rabbit.  By  this  time  we  had  become  friends  with  the  Jones  family  and  were  nervous  about  confronting  them  with  our  concerns.  Having Â
been  birders  for  several  years,  though,  and  knowing  that  cats  are  songbirds’  number  one  predator  we  felt  we  had  to  talk  with  them.  Since  songbirds  help  keep  nature  in  balance  and  their  numbers  are  way  down  we  felt  we  had  a  reasonable  defense.  Our  meeting  went  well.  As  soon  as  they  realized  the  concerns  of  the  neighborhood  and  understood  the  importance  of  songbirds  in  the  environment  they  said  that  of  course  they  would  keep  the  cats  inside.  This  wasn’t  going  to  be  easy  for  them  or  for  the  cats  since  the  cats  had  started  their  lives  outside.  If  you  have  a  cat  or  are  planning  to  adopt  one  remember,  your  cat  is  apt  to  be  healthier  and  lead  a  longer  life  if  kept  inside.  It  won’t  be  exposed  to  disease,  predators  or  the  dangers  of  the  road.  And  you  will  be  doing  your  part  to  help  keep  nature  in  balance.  6DUDK :DNH¿ HOG (DVW 0LGGOHEXU\ 0HPEHU 2WWHU &UHHN $XGXERQ 6RFLHW\ DQG +RPHZDUG %RXQG

Supreme  Court  to  hear  cases  at  Mahaney  Courthouse MIDDLEBURY  —  The  Vermont  Supreme  Court  will  travel  to  Addi- son  County  and  sit  in  the  Frank  Ma- haney  Courthouse  on  Wednesday,  Oct.  28,  to  hear  oral  arguments  in  seven  cases. The  public  is  invited  to  attend  and  watch  the  justices  hear  arguments  in  cases  that  could  set  legal  precedents  in  Vermont.  The  arguments  will  be- gin  at  9  a.m.  at  the  courthouse,  which  is  at  7  Mahady  Court,  just  off  Court  Street  behind  Shaw’s  supermarket. Cases  the  court  will  hear  will  ad- dress  questions  of  law  including  one  involving  a  Middlebury  man,  the  question  being:  Does  a  defendant’s Â
proper  registration  of  a  trade  name  used  by  plaintiff  provide  him  with  any  rights  to  use  the  business  name? The  case  in  question  is  TLOC  Se- nior  Living  LLC  v.  Bingham,  and  it  ZLOO EH WKH ÂżUVW FDVH RI WKH GD\ The  plaintiff,  TLOC,  operates  a  senior  living  community  that  has  done  business  as  “The  Lodge  at  Ot- ter  Creek.â€?  Although  TLOC  regis- tered  the  name  with  the  Secretary  of  State  in  2005,  in  2011  the  regis- tration  lapsed.  Subsequently,  Alpine  Bingham  of  Middlebury  registered  the  same  business  name  with  the  Secretary  of  State.  7/2& ÂżOHG VXLW DJDLQVW %LQJKDP

Middlebury  College  endowment  surpasses  $1  billion MIDDLEBURY  —  The  endow- ment  of  Middlebury  College  has  inched  above  $1  billion  in  the  past  year. The  institution  recently  an- nounced  that  on  June  30  the  value  of  Middlebury’s  endowment  stood  at  $1.10  billion  —  up  $19.1  million  from  a  year  earlier.  The  change  in  the  endowment  from  year  to  year  is  determined  by  investment  gains  and Â
losses  plus  new  gifts,  minus  the  an- nual  payout  to  help  fund  the  opera- tions  of  the  institution. Last  year  the  payout  from  the  en- dowment  contributed  $57.1  million  toward  Middlebury’s  $310  million  operating  expenditures. Middlebury  College’s  endow- ment  generated  an  investment  re- WXUQ RI SHUFHQW LQ WKH ÂżVFDO \HDU that  ended  June  30.  The  annualized Â

and  School  of  the  Environment. “We  continue  to  be  pleased  with  the  performance  of  our  endowment  under  Investure’s  management,â€?  said  Patrick  Norton,  Middlebury  YLFH SUHVLGHQW IRU ÂżQDQFH DQG WUHD- surer.  “As  always,  we’re  grateful  for  the  critical  support  from  Middlebury  alumni,  parents,  and  friends.  Thanks  in  part  to  their  generosity,  our  en- dowment  has  continued  to  grow.â€?

Alice  Leeds,  of  Bristol,  participated  in  Days  of Â
Caring  by  sharing  her  love  of  folk  dancing  with  resi- dents  at  Helen  Porter  Health  Care  &  Rehabilitation.  Her  thought  was  that  folks  who  can  no  longer  dance  on  their  feet  might  enjoy  dancing  with  their  hands  and  arms.  “We  had  loads  of  fun  and  quite  a  workout!�  says  Al- ice.  “I  demonstrated  some  traditional  dances,  and  then  we  hand  danced  to  Danish,  Russian,  Austrian,  Israeli,  Greek,  Polish,  Scottish,  and  Arabic  folk  music�.  Re- cently  retired,  Alice  now  helps  at  Lawrence  Memorial  Library,  takes  care  of  the  Peace  Garden  in  Bristol  Park,  and  serves  on  the  board  at  NorthEast  Addison  Televi- sion  (NEAT).  One  of  her  favorite  experiences  has  been  mentoring  a  student  at  the  Lincoln  Community  School.  She  and  her  mentee  spend  time  together  shooting  hoops,  sharing  a  meal,  hiking,  and  other  fun  activities.  Alice  describes,  “I  feel  so  fortunate  for  this  time  in  my  life  where  I  get  to  do  the  things  I  enjoy  in  a  relaxed  way...  it’s  gratifying  to  offer  little  moments  without  big  re- sponsibilities�.  Thank  you  for  your  generosity,  Alice!

Economic  development  group  offering  business  grants  MIDDLEBURY  —  The  Addison  County  Economic  Development  Corp.  (ACEDC)  announces  that  LW ZLOO DZDUG ÂżYH JUDQWV RI each  to  Addison  County  businesses  for  green  energy  projects.  Winning  businesses  must  make  a  minimum  1:1  matching  contribution  to  the  project.  Applications  are  due  by  Fri- day,  Nov.  13. Eligibility  requirements  for  the  applicants  include  the  following:  The  business  must  be  located  in  Addison  County,  and  the  applicant  must  be  in  compliance  with  state Â
regulations,  be  registered  with  the  Vermont  Secretary  of  State,  and  be  in  good  standing. Application  scoring  will  be  based  on  the  quality  and  readiness  of  the  proposal  and  concept,  the  green  en- ergy  impact,  the  demonstrated  need  and  the  leveraging  of  funds. “We  are  excited  to  offer  this  small  grant  program  to  Addison  County  businesses,â€?  said  Robin  Scheu,  ex- ecutive  director  of  ACEDC.  “We  ZDQWHG WR PDNH WKH SURJUDP DV Ă€H[- ible  as  possible  and  let  our  business- es  be  creative  about  how  they  might Â

Winning  applicants  must  agree  to  have  ACEDC  promote  their  green  energy  projects,  provide  photos  of  their  projects,  and  attend  the  awards Â
Solar  (Continued  from  Page  46) Cabot  could  choose  to  sell  them  to  an  out-Âof-Âstate  buyer. Carlson  also  said  Green  Lantern  would  not  plant  small  trees  to  screen  the  panels  and  wait  for  them  to  grow,  but  would  use  mature  landscaping. “We’re  not  going  to  plant  some- thing  that  is  one  foot  high,â€?  he  said. Wayne  Stearns,  owner  of  the  ad- jacent  farm  to  the  north,  said  Green  Lantern  could  not  count  on  the  ex- isting  hedgerow  to  shield  the  ar- ray  from  that  direction  because  he  planned  to  remove  it,  and  Carlson  thanked  him  for  the  information. Stearns  also  raised  the  issue  that  the  array  would  devalue  his  land  if  he  chose  to  develop  it.  Carlson  said  the  PSB  has  histori- cally  refused  to  “take  into  accountâ€?  the  potential  impact  of  arrays  on  property  values,  nor  has  any  study  yet  demonstrated  an  impact.  How- ever,  he  recommended  that  Stearns  “make  your  comments  known  to  the  PSBâ€?  during  the  three-Âweek  com- ment  period.  Resident  Harry  Curth  asked  how  Green  Lantern  could  guarantee  the  ar- ray  would  be  removed  after  20  years. Carlson  said  even  if  his  company  went  bankrupt,  the  bank  could  take  RYHU WKH SURMHFW DQG ÂżQG D EX\HU for  it  because  it  would  be  generat- ing  valuable  power.  Failing  that,  the Â
Vorsteveld  Farm  could  take  posses- sion  and  either  sell  the  power  or  the  scrap  metal,  which  had  a  current  value  of  about  $200,000.  Resident  Mary  Kerr  objected  to  Carlson’s  statement  that  screening  was  not  intended  to  make  the  array  “invisibleâ€?  from  the  road,  but  rather Â
mitigate  its  impact.   “We’re  proud  of  Vermont  and  how  beautiful  it  is,�  Kerr  said.  “Surely  we  can  be  creative  coming  up  with  a  way  to  disguise  that  area  so  it  re- mains  beautiful.� Andy  Kirkaldy  may  be  reached  at  andyk@addisonindependent.com.
