C.V. Equipment, ACTR, Malcolm are Chamber award recipients MIDDLEBURY – The Addison County Chamber of Commerce recognized a local business, organization, and individual with annual awards during the its annual meeting held on September 10th at Café Provence in Brandon, Vt. Three awards were presented in front of a crowd of nearly 80 attendees which included Chamber members and local business people.

In addition to the award presentations, it was announced that the Chamber’s current president, Andy Mayer, is leaving his position at the end of September to become the president/CEO of a chamber in Washington state. Andy has led the Addison County Chamber since 2007 and is relocating to be closer to his and his wife’s families. Sue Hoxie, marketing & communications director, has been named interim president.

Champlain Valley Equipment, located in Middlebury, was presented with the 2014 Business of the Year Award which recognizes businesses that have grown, sometimes despite adversity, while providing excellent products or service while doing well by their employees and the community.

The company recently completed an expansion of its showroom in Middlebury and survived a fire at its warehouse. Unbeknownst to many and showing the company’s commitment to the region, it supported Addison County residents by funding ACTR bus service to this August’s Addison County Fair & Field Days.

In addition to the Business of the Year award, the Addison County Chamber presented its 2014 Buster Brush Citizen of the Year Award to Nancy Malcolm who exemplifies the criteria for which the award is given—a history of getting things done to make the community better in a variety of ways, with no intention of personal reward or recognition.

The Chamber’s Community Achievement Award is given to a non-profit organization that provides a significant and sustained contribution to the wellbeing of the area.

Middlebury open house event attracts farmers, vendors

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDELBURY — Next to the annual Addison County Fair and Field Days, the only other annual events that gets Addison County’s farming community together are the two Bourdeau and Bushey’s Open House events held at the agribusiness on Seymour Street in Middlebury. The open house are typically held in February and September every year.

The firm’s latest open house was held Sept. 4.

Hundreds of visitors—ranging from Champlain Valley farmers and retailers to sales representatives and tractor dealers—registered for the event in order to meet with ag vendors, examine new farm equipment, socialize, and simply enjoy one of the best, free chicken barbecue cookouts in the area.

Bourdeau and Bushey customers extend from New Hampshire to New York.

Jim Bushey founded Bourdeau and Bushey, Inc., with Germain and Remi Bourdeau, in 1982.

The multi-acre Seymour Street site in Middlebury was formerly occupied by Ralston Purina and Wayne Feeds. The three men transformed the revamped business into Addison County’s largest farm-related enterprise.

September 20, 2014 Electric rates to decline

RUTLAND — State regulators have approved a proposal to decrease GreenMountain electric rates by 2.46 percent for residential and commercial customers starting Oct. 1.

GMP partnered with key stakeholders across Vermont in advance of its filed rate decrease.

Including the Department of Public Service, IBM and Associated Industries of Vermont.

GMP and stakeholders agreed to a 1.46 percent rate decrease, with an additional 1 percent decrease provided directly to customers via a revenue sharing agreement from the 2002 sale of the soon to be closed Vermont Yankee—and not through any increased solar and wind energy use.

“Vermont is more affordable Representing local Vermonters now”—and other flights of fancy By State Rep. Warren Van Wyck

I

t’s another election year and another goround of our two-party system’s blahblah-blather—although here in Vermont, it’s more like the blah-blah-blather of one-party, supermajority rule.

Regarding the gubernatorial race, I really don’t want another term for Gov. Shumlin.

Why? Well, let me count the ways by using the Governor’s own words— 1. Shumlin: Ò Our economic development policies have worked, our economy has recovered and we are creating jobs for Vermonters.Ó Eh? Aside from expanding the traffic-flagger job market along Route 7 (timed to commence exactly when the summer tourists leave and the kiddies—shuttled by their perpetually latefor-work, aggressive-driver parents—return to back-to-school road rituals), where are these jobs, Mr. Governor?

In reality, Gov. Shumlin and his Democratic legislative supermajority have offered no true economic development plan since first taking office. And just in case you’re like the Governor and his crew and haven’t noticed, Vermont’s economy is stagnant, like a backwoods beaver pond—meanwhile the state’s workforce has shrunk by some 8,800 workers since Gov. Shumlin’s first term.

2. Shumlin: Ò Vermont is more affordable now than it was four years ago when I was first elected.

Our cost of living has been reduced.Ó Vermont “affordable?” Talk about stones— and you gotta love Gov. Shumlin’s quirky sense of humor, too.

The Governor and the Democrats in Montpelier have driven costs ever higher. State budgets may have increased at twice the rate of Vermonters’ paychecks, but who benefits by that?

Then there are Montpelier’s energy policies.

We’ve gone from a state with low energy costs—relatively speaking—to one with some of the highest energy costs in the country.

Meanwhile, the Governor and his Democrats are moving ahead with aggressive plans to smother Vermont’s agricultural landscape and ridgelines with acres and acres of solar-power arrays and wind farms just to meet a fanciful, 90 percent alternative energy source goal.

And then there are Montpelier’s tax increases (which, after all, make Vermont so “affordable”)— According to Vermont GOP chair David Sunderland, “Among the many tax increases imposed on Vermonters over the past two years by the Shumlin administration are: a new 5 percent statewide property tax increase, for a total 14 percent increase in residential property tax rates over the past four years, and a doubling of Vermonters’ health-care claims tax and a gas tax increase of 5.9 cents per gallon.” How easy it is

for some of us forget on Election Day. 3. Shumlin: Ò We listened to Vermonters and understood that the drastic increases in property taxes across Vermont were unbearable to our working families and small businesses. We rolled up our sleeves and developed a new system that was fair, understandable, preserved the quality of our stateÕ s education system and provided relief for all of VermontÕ s property taxpayers.Ó Other than the usual suspectsÑ out-of-state campaign contributors and some very special interest groupsÑ I never knew that Gov. Shumlin and the Democrat legislature cared about the rest of us.

Gov. Shumlin and company have offered no solutions to Vermont’s oppressive property tax issue.

“In fact,” Sunderland told us, “they have blocked every attempt by Republicans to reform our state’s broken educational funding system. Meanwhile our working families, young people, seniors and small business owners continue to struggle to pay for a system that deprives them of local control and of any hope for a simpler and more affordable system in the future.”

4. Shumlin: “Here is the financing plan that will detail, for Vermonters, all the tax and fee hikes that will be necessary to pay for my plus $2.2-billion taxpayer funded, government run single payer healthcare plan.Ó What happened to Gov. Shumlin—as required by law—providing us with the financing plan for his health care scheme by January 2013?

“Vermonters are still waiting,” Sunderland said, “and Gov. Shumlin has now said he will not provide a plan until after the election. The Democrat supermajority in the legislature has failed to demand that Gov. Shumlin comply with the law.” Of course, if it was a Republican doing same—need I say more?

5. Shumlin: Ò I have worked tirelessly on behalf of all VermontersÑ 24/7Ñ and made the resolution of the issues they are facing my top priority.Ó Gov. Shumlin has been out of state close to 25 percent of the time since he first took office— there are lots of fundraising junkets and long vacations to keep the Governor busy.

I still remember those old Dinah Shore T.V. commercials for General Motors: “See the USA in your Chevrolet?” Well, aside from vacationing offshore in Canada or the Caribbean (where he owns some sweet private property), Gov. Shumlin probably drives a trendy import. I wonder if it’s all electric?

Lou Varricchio EditorÕ s note: Special thanks to David Sunderland for Shumlin quotes and background.

S

erving in the Vermont House of Representatives this past biennium has been a privilege and honor for me as your state representative from the Addison, Ferrisburgh, Panton, Vergennes and Waltham district.

I have taken this responsibility seriously as a member of House General, Housing and Military Affairs Committee and often expressed the views of local, small businesses against increased state regulations and mandates. I also serve on the Legislative Information Technology Committee. My wife, Jeanette (Beenen), and I have been lived on Middlebrook Road in Ferrisburgh for the past thirty years and raised six children (ages 19–28), who live in Ferrisburgh and Panton.

This past winter I introduced a bill, H.555, that passed as Act 158, “An act relating to the commitment of a criminal defendant who is incompetent to stand trial because of a traumatic brain injury,” that will enhance public safety. I accomplished this in conjunction with a local resident, a local Vermont State Police detective and the County State’s Attorney.

Important issues for the State include: Affordability for Business and Homeowners. High property taxes for businesses cause too many to leave the state. Homeowners are stressed with double digit property taxes increases. I voted for comprehensive Education Fund tax reform this past session. The Education Fund tax should be less progressive and more proportional to local spending changes.

Education spending must also be examined in order to limit property tax increases. I hear from many residents wondering if they can afford to retire in Vermont in their current home due to steep increases in residential property taxes.

Vermont Health Connect, the State’s health benefit exchange, has far too many paying more for less coverage. The Vermont is the only state where individuals are required to purchase from the exchange only. Over 10,000 subscribers are unable to update their circumstances.

Residents ought to be able to purchase insurance outside of the exchange – like the other 49 states. I support legislative action to allow this.

Public Safety is of foremost importance. I do

not support leaving seven Vermont State Police (VSP) positions vacant in order to reduce General Fund spending as recently proposed by Governor Shumlin and approved by the Legislature’s Joint Fiscal Committee. Rural Addison County relies on the VSP for protection and service.

Economic Prosperity. Most Vermont businesses must compete regionally, nationally and internationally. For instance, IBM is in the computer chip manufacturing business against global competitors.

Not only do property taxes need to be competitive, also the price of electricity must be attractive. Electricity must be available rain or shine, day or night, and on calm or windy days.

Good jobs for young people. Vermont is “graying” as many young people leave the state in search of jobs and opportunity. Excess government regulations and mandates on business hamper this sort of job growth. I have voted against such overregulation while in the House.

Farming is a major economic driver and provides scenic landscapes that attract tourists. It must be protected from special interests that would hamper the vitality of the farms of these hardworking neighbors. Dairy farmers supply the milk essential to the cheese and dairy processors in the state and region, that provide economic benefits here locally. Environmental issues must be balanced with economic benefits.

Please contact me at 802-877-2169 or wjvw@ together.net if I might provide additional information.

In 2013 I wrote a web page for the House where you can learn about legislators in the Vermont House (www.vermonthouseclerk.org).

This is especially useful to visitors at the State House.

Platitudes written or spoken are easy, however, the most decisive actions are votes in the Legislature. I have voted against the increases in taxes and spending in the General Fund, that recently had to be trimmed anyway, and Education Fund increases. For those residents concerned about affordability, that’s the bottom line.

Rep. Warren Van Wyck

GOOD LUCK PLAY — Members of the Addison County-based Sodbusters Horse Shoe Club joined other Vermont players, as well as those from New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, for the league’s 2014 Fall Roundup Tournament held at the Bristol Recreation Field Sept.

14. The Sodbusters are now in their second year playing in Bristol. According to President Debra Brown, the new courts—equipped with lights for night play—are a big improvement over the club’s former digs at the Case Street Community Center in Middlebury.

Bristol’s car show had something for every motorhead—and more

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com BRISTOL — Middlebury Speedi-Lube Service owner Damon Pelkey just restored his father’s 1947 Ford half-ton pickup and showcased the classic vehicle at the Better L8 Than Never Car Show at the Bristol Recreation Field Sept. 14. He was joined by classic vehicles owned by his father, brother and wife.

“It looks like Pelkey Row,” said a man who came out to look at the Pelkey family’s row of vintage cars and trucks. The Pelkey collection included two pickups, cars, and a fixer-upper 1953 Mercury sedan complete with rust spots.

Pelkey wasn’t alone with over 100 car owners driving their classic and customized motor vehicles to the popular 10th edition of the Better L8 Than Ever Car Show held at the public recreation field in Bristol The event, which was held under a mostly cloudy sky, with some fine drizzle at times, included trophies for the top-30 best vehicles as well as special trophies.

All makes, all models were on display—vehicles ranged from a vintage 1929 Ford Model-A pickup truck and a cool 1972 Ford Gran Torino to a baby blue 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air and “the Beast”—a snazzy, silver 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe 4X4 truck fully equipped for a death-defying run down science-fiction’s Damnation Alley Dash plaques were awarded to the first 100 cars, according to Bruce Many, a Bristol resident and Snake Mountain Cruisers organizer.

Participant judging is a tradition with the show and there were plenty of trophies to go around although, ironically, some of the best vehicles received no awards.

Attendees enjoyed food, live D.J. music—from the ‘50s and ‘60s, what else?—a bake sale, various raffles, a piston toss, and the muffler rap.

A Sodbusters horseshoe tournament was held at the start of the car show which added more fun to the festivities at the Bristol Rec Field.

The annual car show event is hosted by the Snake Mountain Cruisers and sponsored by the Addison County Chamber of Commerce benefiting Camp Ta-Kum-Ta.

Common Core optional, but embraced by some Vt. independent schools

By Bruce Parker

bparker@watchdog.org MONTPLEIER — Heads of Vermont’s independent schools say federally mandated Common Core tests are optional, but that hasn’t stopped one school leader from going full speed ahead into the new, new math. In the case of the Aurora School in Middlebury, adminsitrators said they will not be adopting the Core in the private school’s curriculum.

Tom Martin, head of school at the Village School of North Bennington, said his independent school won’t be adopting federal Common Core tests and standards this year.

“One of the things that’s important is we allow kids to find their own particular skill strengths. We really emphasize the idea of creativity and imagination,” he said.

“One of the dangers that Common Core can present, if not implemented properly, is a drive for conformity. This is where independence serves us well — we’re certainly not interested in trying to make kids conform to a national expectation.”

Martin said his school is not opposed to standards or a discussion of what kids need to know, but he said local educators and parents, not federal bureaucrats, should determine a school’s curriculum and standards.

“We decide (curriculum). It’s very much related to our mission, and very much related to the community, parents and children we serve.

What we teach is a collaborative decision based on our population, our staff and the talent they bring to the program.”

Asked if he thought Common Core would be implemented in the future, Martin said, “Not

likely.”

“The idea that we’re going to go out and purchase a national curriculum and force it into our classrooms with a corporate developed test, that’s not the way it will be done for us at all. I think that’s true of most independents.”

Stanley said she is especially fond of the Common Core’s teaching methodology, which she sees as a welcome departure from rote learning methods of past decades.

“It’s the whole idea of kids really understanding math, not just regurgitating it on pages and pages of problems that were presented in the old-fashioned math textbooks. In this new idea and the core standard program I just adopted, kids have to be able to explain their thinking,” Stanley said.

While saying the new teaching methods require a lot of retraining for a typical 25-year veteran public school teacher, she said it was necessary to modernize education.

“Teachers should not be standing up in front

of a class of kids sitting in rows for an hour at a time lecturing. That’s not 21st century education.

A teacher should be more of a facilitator, and there should be more hands-on problem-solving and active learning going on.”

Detractors say even if some Common Core standards and methodologies are effective, it doesn’t justify the creation of a federalized teaching system.

“Any time you have essentially a monopoly on what schools have to teach, you don’t get competition from other standards or other ways of organizing schools and learning. So this is actually going to be bad for innovation and improving education moving forward,” McCluskey said.

“Even if Common Core were great standards — and that is heavily in dispute — they are certainly not the greatest standards that could ever exist. Human beings have finite knowledge, and we don’t know what the greatest standards are. The way we advance knowledge is by letting different ways of doing things compete with each other.”

McCluskey cited other worries, such as federal coercion, which, he said, was evident in the Obama administration’s decision to impose No

Child Left Behind on Oklahoma for withdrawing from Common Core.

He also said centralizing power through federal tests and standards gives special interests “disproportionate political power,” a worry echoed in a recent Washington Post expose on Bill Gates’ involvement in the creation and promotion of Common Core.

McCluskey agreed many Common Core standards have merit, but he added that special interests have “taken those high bars and standards and have pulled them down, so they’re easy to get over.”

When asked what she thought about controversies surrounding Common Core, Stanley said, “It’s a shame that it’s come across as a big scary monster,” and she noted that “change is very difficult for adults.”

But she said she appreciates having the freedom to implement Common Core however she sees fit in Vermont.

“As a school in the 21st century dealing with standards, it has to be a part of what we’re doing. But I can’t tell you that someone is dictating that to me. I’m dictating that as head of school because it’s best practice in education.

“In order to be current and up to speed with the best practices in education, it behooves all of us to be paying attention and integrating these principles to differing degrees in our own curriculum.”

This includes soil and feed testing, fertilizer, lime, feed, and plant-protection aids. Wisdom is part of the package, too, with guidance on how to use products and services.

Bourdeau and Bushey, Inc. also help farmers determine how much fertilizer they need to grow their crops to their full potential while at the same time reducing pollution. They even grow corn in their backyard so they can show farmers the different kinds of corn available to them, which helps them make an informed decision about what type of corn to plant.

In addition to providing dairy farmers with these essential ser-

vices, Bourdeau and Bushey, Inc also offers 80 different diets for dogs, focusing on working dogs that need a high fat, high energy diet, such as sled dogs. They ship these feeds all over New York and New England. They also provide horse diets as well.

BRUNO 8.5 year old. Neutered Male. Miniature Pinscher.

Hi, hi, hi, it’s nice to meet you. I’m a barrel of energy and I’m always on the go. I’m a very smart guy who really enjoys being with people. I like to play with toys and I think it’s fun to chase them but I don’t know anything about retrieving them so maybe you can teach me. I’m a really friendly fella who loves going for walks which is a good thing because I’m a little overweight and should lose a pound or two. I also loved getting brushed.

CHOWDER 5 year old. Neutered Male. Akita mix.

I’m a silly fella who really enjoys being with people. I love getting lots of love and attention and will lean into you for a little more affection and attention. I’m a super guy who already knows Sit, Down, Shake and Sit Pretty.

I’m super talented, if I do say so myself. I’m very playful and I especially love squeaky toys but will be happy playing with any kind of toys especially if I’m hanging out with my favorite people. Oh, did I mention how handsome I am? But I probably don’t need

to tell you that.

COBALT 7 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair White.

My name is Cobalt and I arrived at the shelter on August 22 as a stray and I am looking for that special inside only forever home to live out my year’s safe and soundly. I am being housed in a community cat room and I do not seem to mind the other cats thus far. enjoy being around people and my white coat is a plus for sure with Winter around the corner I could blend right in. Just another reason to keep me in.

SARAH 5 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Black and Brown Tabby.

Meow. My name is Sarah and I arrived at the shelter at the end of August because my previous family was moving and could not take me along. I have lived with children and cats and dogs however I was not too fond of the dog. I do not love to be held but I do enjoy playing and I love catnip. I also love being brushed. My meow is unusual for sure but that just makes me more unique.
