3RUWHU 0HGLFDO &HQWHU RIÂżFDO H[SUHVVHV RSWLPLVP The  future  of  Porter  Medical  Center  has  never  been  brighter.  That  is  a  very  broad,  potentially  provocative,  statement  —  espe- cially  in  light  of  all  of  the  recent  FKDQJHV FKDOOHQJHV DQG GLIÂżFXOW decisions  our  community  has  been  hearing  about.  Nevertheless,  it  is  a  statement  that  is  embraced  by  the  Porter  Medical  Center  Board  of  Di- rectors,  and  one  which  we  believe  truly  characterizes  our  board’s  be- lief  and  commitment  to  the  future Â
of  the  organization.  It  will  not  be  an  easy  path  —  real  change  is  never  “easy.â€?  However,  ongoing  transformation  is  what  is  needed,  what  is  essential,  if  we  are  to  continue  to  serve  our  community  with  the  highest  quality  healthcare  services  possible  for  the  present  and  future  generations.  We  recog- nize  there  is  a  human  element  to  this  transformation.  Porter  deeply  values  all  of  its  employees  and  has  encouraged  those  affected  to  apply Â
Letters to the Editor Act  46  isn’t  progress  for  schools Act  46  of  2015,  the  school  con- solidation  law,  is  a  mistake. %URXJKW LQWR EHLQJ ¿UVW E\ legislators  responsible  for  school  funding  who  perceived  constituent  GLVFRQWHQW ZLWK VFKRRO ¿QDQFLQJ LW does  little  or  nothing  to  solve  fund- ing  problems  which  will,  shortly,  be  headlines  again,  as  they  have  always  been. Later  these  legislators  were  joined  by  advocates  for  better  pub- lic  education  who  falsely  believe  they  have  helped  design  a  mecha- nism  for  more  opportunity  for  students  that  will  actually  offer  little  of  this  and  do  what  little  it  does  mostly  for  already  more  advantaged  students. Between  these  two  groups  they  have  made  what  we  have,  as  law. Like  these  legislators  I  wish  we  had  made  a  law  that  did  help  our  ¿QDQFLQJ RI SXEOLF HGXFDWLRQ /LNH
those  who  wish  more  opportunity  I  wish  we  had  made  a  law  that  would  improve  our  educational  system. We  haven’t  done  either. In  an  effort  to  keep  this  short  and  to  the  point  I  will  follow  this  note  with  two  further  explanatory  notes  on  the  subject  of  this  well  inten- tioned  bad  law.  One  will  deal  with  the  side  effects  of  changing  our  government  as  this  law  does,  not  just  with  schools  but  also,  apparent- ly  unthinkingly,  with  all  our  civic  decision  making.  A  second  will  discuss  what  I  think  we  should  have  done  to  achieve  what  we  wish,  in  terms  of  funding  and  of  opportunity. It’s  my  belief  that  votes  against  consolidating  school  districts  at  this  time  will  help  our  society  a  good  deal  more  than  votes  in  favor  of  this. Robert  Bernstein Bristol
Rikert  a  jewel  for  Nordic  skiers One  small  Addison  County  miracle  that  readers  might  not  be  aware  of:  The  Nordic  skiing  up  at  Bread  Loaf/Rikert  Nordic  Center  is  quite  wonderful.

Last  weekend  there  were  maybe  10  kilometers  of  skiing  anywhere  in  Vermont,  and  half  of  them  were Â
at  Bread  Loaf.  We  have  the  college  and  its  benefactors  to  thank  for  the  equipment  that  makes  Rikert  so  special,  of  course,  but  the  dedica- tion  it  takes  —  in  a  year  of  constant  thaw  —  to  keep  things  open  is  ex- ceptional.  I  was  up  there  last  Thurs- day,  and  there  were  50  elementary  school  kids  from  down  in  the  valley  skiing  and  laughing  and  horsing  around,  and  all  I  could  think  was,  these  are  the  only  50  schoolkids  in  Vermont  enjoying  winter  today.  So  thanks  to  all  for  their  hard  work  (and  pray  for  snow).

Alfred Andersson, 74, Middlebury MIDDLEBURY  —  Alfred  McRae  Andersson,  a  resident  of  Middlebury,  Vermont,  who  died  aged  74,  was  a  former  U.S.  diplomat  and  oil  execu- tive  who  courted  adventure  and  delighted  those  who  knew  him  with  his  calm  in  the  face  of  adversity,  and  his  energy  for  life.

He  was  born  to  Alfred  C.  Andersson,  a  Texan  journalist,  and  Jean  Kimball  Andersson,  in  Memphis,  Tenn.  on  Aug.  9,  1941.  The  Andersson  family  had  immigrated  to  America  from  Liverpool,  England,  where  they  ran  salt  mines,  in  the  1880s. Almost  a  hundred  years  later,  in  1978,  Andersson  returned  the  family  to  the  UK  as  an  oil  executive  work- ing  for  Gulf  Oil,  UK,  settling  in  the  Cotswolds.  The  move  to  Europe  began  with  an  Atlantic  ocean  liner  crossing  with  his  wife  and  three  small  children.

During  Andersson’s  tenure  in  Saudi,  U.S.  diplomatic  efforts  saved  two  Americans  from  the  death  sentence,  and  Andersson  often  worked  to  rescue  American  oil  men  charged  with  possession  of  alcohol  from  the  statutory  two-Âyear  sentences  in  Saudi’s  notorious  prisons.
ALFRED  ANDERSSON When  he  left  his  posting  in  Saudi,  Andersson  drove  back  home  to  England  with  his  family,  crossing  through  Syria,  Jordan  and  Turkey  into  Europe,  helping  his  wife  through  a  medical  emergency  in  Aleppo. Andersson  was  next  transferred  to  Johannesburg  in  apartheid  South  Africa,  during  the  time  that  President  Reagan  and  Prime  Minister  Margaret  Thatcher  had  embarked  on  the  contro- versial  policy  of  trying  to  foster  political  change  by  engaging  with  South  Africa,  imposing  only  limited  sanctions.  The  U.S.  later  imposed  stronger  sanctions  and  Andersson,  DV &RPPHUFLDO 2IÂż FHU DW WKH 8 6 Consulate,  had  the  contradictory  job  of  encouraging  investment  when  investors  were  often  punished  with  U.S.  tax  penalties.  His  criticism  of  U.S.  policy  helped  spell  the  end  of  his  diplomatic  career.

On  one  of  his  many  excursions  into  the  African  bush  in  1990,  Andersson  and  his  two  daughters,  then  18  and  23  years  old,  took  a  remote  dirt  track  north  of  the  Central  Kalahari  desert.  After  their  Land  Rover’s  four-Âwheel  drive  broke  down,  they  became  stranded  in  an  area  infested  with  lions.  )RU Âż YH GD\V VKRUW RI ZDWHU DQG LQ LQWHQVH KHDW WKH\ IDVKLRQHG ÂłURDGV´ out  of  their  clothes  and  tools,  to  try  to  get  the  vehicles  wheels  to  grip  some- thing,  rather  than  spinning  in  the  deep  VRIW VDQG &UHDWLQJ D UHĂ€ HFWRU RXW RI an  emergency  thermal  blanket,  they  tried,  and  failed,  to  attract  the  atten- tion  of  a  passing  plane.  The  family,  coated  in  mud  from  the  spinning  tires,  was  eventually  rescued  by  a  passing  bush  ranger.
Some  years  later,  Andersson  retired  in  Middlebury,  Vt.  He  also  spent  a  lot  of  time  in  the  South  where  he  was  born.  One  day,  he  was  steer- ing  his  shrimp  trawler-Âstyle  boat  through  the  intercoastal  waterways  near  Charleston,  S.C.,  when  his  wife  QRWLFHG WKDW WKH YHVVHO KDG ZDWHU Ă€ RZ ing  into  it  and  was  listing.  Andersson  said  there  was  no  need  to  panic  and,  RQFH DJDLQ LQVLVWHG RQ Âż QLVKLQJ KLV meal  at  a  leisurely  pace.  It  was  only  when  water  began  to  cover  their  shoes  WKDW WKH\ Âż QDOO\ DEDQGRQHG VKLS )RU four  hours  in  the  dark  of  night  the  couple  were  stranded  perched  on  mooring  poles  as  the  waters  rose  with  the  tide  around  them.  They  watched  the  boat  go  down. Two  weeks  before  he  died,  Andersson  drove  over  his  favorite  mountain  pass  in  the  Austrian  Alps,  passing  by  a  treacherous  cliff  he  had  taken  his  young  daughters  on  in  the  1980s,which  they  barely  made  it  down. Days  before  he  died  he  texted  his  four  children  a  warning  about  living  a  life  of  risk.  But  one  of  his  daughters,  Jean  Andersson-ÂSwayze,  a  Middlebury  doctor,  travelled  to  West  Africa  last  year  to  treat  Ebola  patients.  Another,  Hilary  Andersson,  has  covered  many  wars  as  a  BBC  journalist. Throughout  his  life  Andersson,  whose  life  was  marked  by  uncanny  luck,  a  love  of  his  family,  humor  and  kindness,  told  his  family  he  would  die  at  age  74.  They  did  not  believe  him. On  Aug.  9,  2015,  his  74th  birthday,  he  was  unexpectedly  diagnosed  with  terminal  pancreatic  cancer.  He  died  nine  days  later  and  was  laid  to  rest  at  St.  Andrew’s  in  Naunton,  a  small  village  in  the  English  Cotswolds  where  he  had  been  visiting  when  he  became  seriously  ill.

Stop  your  pet  from  becoming  an  escape  artist  and  a  future  stray (MS)  —  The  ASPCA  estimates  that  7.5  million  companion  animals  enter  animal  shelters  nationwide  every  year.  Many  of  these  animals  are  strays,  as  shelters  house  about  twice  as  many  stray  animals  as  pets  given  up  by  their  owners.  Lost  animals  also  make  up  a  VLJQLÂż FDQW SRUWLRQ RI WKH VKHOWHU SHW population.  Although  a  great  number  of  shelter  animals  are  reunited  with  their  owners,  some  shelter  animals  never  reunite  with  their  families.  Pet  owners  must  take  steps  to  reduce  the  risk  that  their  pets  will  get  lost.  Fencing,  secure  crates  and  gates  and  leashes  can  cut  down  on  the  number  of  escapes.  CRATES Crates  and  carrier  kennels  are  worthwhile  investments  for  pet  owners.  Many  animal  trainers  advo- cate  for  crates  when  conditioning  dogs  to  be  obedient.  Smaller  crates  for  cats  are  ideal  when  the  animal  needs  some  quiet  time  or  you  have  to  keep  the  pet  away  from  guests.  Kennels  with  a  handle  make  it  easier  to  transport  pets  to  and  from  the  veterinarian  or  when  taking  car  rides.

Rail  bridges  (Continued  from  Page  1) ing  business  elsewhere. A  preliminary  estimate  supplied  by  VTrans  and  project  contractors  has  indicated  maintaining  the  cur- rent  18  feet,  8  inches  in  bridge  clear- ance  could  shave  around  $4  million  and  11  weeks  from  the  project  as  currently  designed. But  Middlebury  Selectman  and  LPMT  member  Dean  George  said  WKDW ZKLOH 97UDQV RIÂżFLDOV KDYH conceded  that  double-Âstack  cars  are  unlikely  to  come  through  town,  there  are  two  other  varieties  of  cars  that  will  —  and  they  will  require  more  than  the  current  18  feet,  8  inches  feet  of  clearance. Those  cars  include  auto  carriers  that  need  to  go  through  the  western  rail  corridor  to  dealerships  in  South  Burlington;Íž  and  “domedâ€?  passenger  UDLO FDUV WKDW $PWUDN KDV LQ LWV Ă€HHW for  high-Âvisibility  excursions. “While  (VTrans  Secretary  Chris  Cole)  would  agree  there  is  no  suit- able  argument  to  support  double- stack  cars  coming  through  here,  these  two  types  of  rail  cars  would  in  fact  be  used  on  the  western  corridor  and  this  would  obviously  be  a  lim- iting  issue  if  vertical  clearance  was  lowered  to  19  feet,â€?  George  said.

all  but  the  one  in  Middlebury  are  ³UHODWLYHO\ HDV\ Âż[HV ´ DFFRUGLQJ WR George. VTrans  is  going  to  present  this  information  to  the  Vermont  Rail  Council  on  Feb.  17.  Middlebury  selectboard  members  were  hoping  VTrans  might  recommend  keeping  the  status  quo  on  clearance  for  the  downtown  bridges,  and  that  the  rail  council  would  in  turn  make  that  rec- ommendation  to  the  Legislature  —  ZKLFK KDV WKH ÂżQDO VD\ It’s  now  unlikely  that  the  Legisla- ture  will  be  asked  to  grant  a  clear- ance  waiver  to  Middlebury.  “It  was  my  sense  ‌  that  if  VTrans  was  going  to  suggest  to  the  rail  council  that  there  are  two  types  of  cars  that  are  going  to  be  used  on  this  corridor  that  need  (at  least)  20  feet,  they  are  certainly  not  going  to  sup- port  a  vertical  clearance  of  19  feet,  or  anything  less  than  that,â€?  George  said. “Obviously,  there’s  disappoint- ment,â€?  George  added  of  the  latest  news.  “I  really  don’t  think  there’s  a  lot  of  worth  in  us  investing  a  lot  of  time  and  study  of  this  19-Âfoot  clear- ance  if  it  is  not  going  to  be  support- ed.  If  it’s  going  to  be  20  feet,  or  21  feet,  or  whatever  it  is,  let’s  work  on  how  we  can  do  the  best  job  we  can  with  that.â€?
