Farmers’ market resuscitated F-35 widens
noise impacts in Williston
New manager steps up to spearhead 2019 season By Jason Starr

Williston’s farmers’ market seems to have nine lives. Earlier this month, Sharon Gutwin called all the market’s vendors from last summer to tell them the market would be a no-go for 2019. Gutwin had revived the market last summer after a two-year hiatus, locating it in the parking lot of the Kismet Place building on Blair Park Road, where she owns RehabGYM. A farmers’ market in Williston has been held in a variety of locations under different management in years past. Locations have included the village green, Catamount Outdoor Family Center and the New England Federal Credit Union parking lot. Gutwin planned to continue offering the space in front of Kismet Place for 2019, and she recruited a vendor — Meagan Snyder of Drunken Grains Bakery — to take over management of the market. But Snyder, citing a new job, backed out in April. Gutwin briefly considered managing it again herself, then decided to cancel the season. “When she bailed out and I wasn’t able, with my time, to pick it up, I was thinking it wasn’t going to happen,” Gutwin said. Kismet Place is a mix of wellness-related businesses, and in March it received a new tenant, Integrative Acupunc-
More than 100 Williston homes fall into an expanded 65 decibel sound exposure zone related to the F-35 fighter jet basing at Burlington International Airport beginning in August. Airport officials released sound exposure maps Wednesday that look out to 2023, when 18 F-35s are planned to be based at the Vermont Air National Guard. Compared to the existing noise exposure map created in 2015, which reflects the Air Guard’s operation of F-16 fighter jets, 260 more Williston residents will be affected by the F-35s in 112 homes. The new 65 decibel zone expands east along Route 2, from roughly the intersection of Industrial Avenue to the intersection of Harvest Lane. It includes a section of North Brownell and South Brownell roads as well as Shunpike Road. Most of the new impact falls in an industrial zoning district with smaller portions in residential and mixed-use districts. see NOISE page 16

ture. It’s co-owner, Jonathan Fleming, is an avid gardener and farmers’ market enthusiast who was looking forward to supporting the market as an attendee. Then he learned about its predicament and offered to step into the manager’s role. “I wanted to try to do my part to make it happen,” Fleming said.
Over the past few weeks, Fleming has been reaching out to last year’s vendors to invite them back for 2019. He is committed to having a farmer with produce at the market, as well as prepared foods and live music. “Having good, healthy produce is definitely a goal,” he said. Produce vendors did not
consistently attend the market last year. Some weeks, Gutwin would purchase produce at a local farm stand to have available for sale at the market. Fleming hopes to launch the market on June 9 and have it run Sundays through Sept. 15. The timing of the market Observer photo by Jason Starr see MARKET page 2

NEW HOMES FROM THE
$300’s
More than a dozen new vendors will join the Richmond Farmers’ Market when it kicks off Sunday, adding to an array of returning favorites. The market is held every Friday through Oct. 11 from 3-7 p.m. on the Volunteers Green. Shoppers will find fresh local fruit and vegetables, prepared food, baked goods, handmade crafts, local meat and fish, cut flowers and more. “The vendors are so diverse this year and it’s looking like a great lineup,” said Leah LaRobardiere, the market’s manager. “The RFM is a great place to grab a bite to eat and listen to music. The market has such charm and it’s because of our vendors. They work so hard to provide the best products, and it shows.” Local musicians bring free live music to the market each Friday, starting with local singer-songwriter Erin Cassels-Brown this week. Musical highlights this year include “ukulele shenanigans” on July 19 and rock band Set Theory on Aug. 30. The market plans two farm-to-table community dinners as fundraisers. The dinners, which will be held at the Richmond Community Kitchen, feature a multi-course menu highlighting seasonal produce and other vendor products. “It’s so fun to get creative in the kitchen with local produce,” LaRobardiere said. The market welcomes nearly 20 returning vendors, including farms, local meat and fish purveyors, food and drink vendors, distilleries, maple syrup, honey, baked goods and more. New vendors will bring ice cream, cut flowers and plants, cheese, crafts, baked goods and prepared foods. For more information, visit richmondfarmersmarketvt.org.

Lending HANDS for seniors’ well-being HANDS (Helping and Nurturing Diverse Seniors) came into being about 15 years ago when Megan Humphrey was working as the program director at a local senior center. She discovered that many older adults were home alone and lonely on Christmas Day. The next holiday season, Megan organized a meal and entertainment for 20 people. The holiday dinner has grown tremendously since then with both meal delivery and sitdown dinner as options. In collaboration with Age Well, Burlington School Food Project, Michelle Charron, Elks Club, Temple Sinai and hundreds of volunteers and businesses, HANDS provided 700 meals and gift bags this past Christmas Day throughout Chittenden County. “That first year was so heartwarming, and the holiday dinner continues to bring joy on a day that can be really tough for so many of us,” Humphrey said. HANDS offers other programs throughout the year, too. “HANDS in the Dirt”
provides gardening workshops at long-term nursing centers, senior housing centers and community garden sites. We partner with Gardeners Supply, expert Charlie Nardozzi, Red Wagon Plants and Vermont Community Garden Network to bring fun and educational activities to older adults. Through a collaboration with Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf’s “Good Food Truck,” HANDS coordinates a weekly meal delivery to Canal Street Veterans Housing and seniors at Winooski Housing Authority. Over 1,200 hot, healthy meals were delivered in the past year. Our “HANDS in the Kitchen” hands-on workshops are taught by Chef Robin Burnett and cover topics such as cooking for one, stretching food dollars, a healthy plate, use of herbs, simple cooking and clean-up tips, and much more. Because isolation and loneliness can also affect one’s health, each workshop concludes with a shared meal to encourage friendship and connections.

Approximately one in six older adults are food insecure in the United States. Between 2007 and 2014, there was a 65 percent increase in hunger, partially due to the economic recession. Race, income, location, lack of transportation, living alone, dementia and both physical and mental health issues all contribute to a senior’s inability to access healthy food. Veterans are especially at risk. “We have a special place in our hearts for veterans,” Humphrey said. “And we often have three different generations of vets in one gathering, so their needs vary greatly.” With higher rates of addiction, mental health issues, homelessness and suicide among vets, HANDS programming offers gardening and nutrition education so that veterans can become less isolated and more independent. HANDS is currently gearing up for its summer programs. “We’re sharing skills so that folks can grow some of their own food, reduce loneliness and improve their health,” Humphrey explained. Research has shown that even symptoms of dementia can be decreased significantly through garden activities.
Kris Daigneault is the director of life enrichment programs at Our Lady of Providence. She explained how the “HANDS in the Dirt” workshops became much more than an opportunity to grow delicious, nutritious food. “They created new engagement opportunities as a very effective catalyst and model for community growth,” she said. Sharing the experience of selecting plants to grow, tending the crop and ultimately harvesting a variety of fresh vegetables “gave residents a sense of real accomplishment, both individually and as a group,” she said. HANDS is a small nonprofit trying to fill gaps in getting fresh, healthy food to seniors who need a helping hand. Visit handsvt.org for more information about our programs and/or to donate.

“To all gardeners, this is a week to inspire and be inspired,” Burlington Garden Club coordinator Nancy Bell said. Doris Van Mullen, club co- president, added: “Nurturing plants has great benefits and lends to the growth of spirit across the community, as well as better attitudes toward nutrition and health. All this adds up to making the world a greener, healthier and more livable place.” Events during the week (see sidebar) emphasize the cornerstone elements of gardening, including sustainable gardening, awareness of environmental issues, enhanced knowledge of biology and ecology, appreciation of community and a stewardship of the future. “Gardening is one of the most enjoyable, rewarding, passionate and therapeutic activities that nearly everyone can take part in inside and outdoors,” Bell said. “Garnish the thrill of a small space of your own; go to the garden center and purchase a trowel and flowers, plant them and wait for blooms to arrive. This is the excitement and fun of gardening.” For more information, visit bgcvt. org.

Rob Roper was highly critical of the Vermont legislature in his May 2 guest column (“Our seriously unserious legislature”), listing six pending bills that he called “nonsense.” One of these is a state constitutional amendment to end slavery, which he dismissed as unneeded because “the Vermont Constitution (of 1777) was the first state constitution to ban slavery.” Contrary to Mr. Roper’s argument that the new amendment would “accomplish exactly nothing,” it could, in fact, address the inadequacies of the 1777 constitution, which recommended that no man be held as servant, slave or apprentice after he had reached the age of 21 (18 for women). It is worth stating the obvious, namely that it remained fully legal to hold children and young adults as slaves for as much as another 20 years, even if other family members had been nominally freed. Furthermore, there was no means of enforcement of the clause. The net effect was that de facto slavery continued in Vermont for some years,

as did the practice of selling adults in slavery to the Southern states and the West Indies. An appalling consequence of the constitution’s “age of majority” phrasing was that there were cases in which parents were sold away, leaving behind their still-enslaved children. Indeed, the man after whom Mr. Roper’s Ethan Allen Institute is named was himself a slave owner who continued to have so-called “servants” into the 1780s. There is reason to be proud of the fact that Vermont was an early contributor to the efforts at limiting, and ultimately eliminating, slavery in America. But it is important that we know the facts and nuances of the state’s early declarations before relaxing in self-congratulations. It seems to me that restating the state’s abolitionist language in more definitive terms adds clarity to our constitution, is consistent with Vermont’s principles of freedom and equality and is not at all a waste of time.

Protecting choice in Vermont and beyond The decision to have a safe and legal abortion is under threat. Recently, the State of Alabama ruled to outlaw almost all abortions — including in cases of rape or incest. It is one of the chilling indicators of Roe V. Wade’s fragility. The intent of the new law is to bring it all the way up to the Supreme Court in the hope that the newly conservative court will strike Roe v. Wade down. This ominous action makes it vital that

Vermont protect the right of our citizens to uphold access to a safe and legal abortion. The alternative would force women to go back to the old days — of botched abortions, sickness and possibly death. Fortunately, the Vermont General Assembly is on the way to inoculating itself against such a dangerous federal retreat. Enshrining abortion rights into Vermont law is the first step. A constitutional amendment (which takes four years to enact) is equally important to protect Vermont women and families. We can be proud of Vermont lawmakers for pursuing these two measures, but we cannot ignore the women of Alabama and other anti-abortion states. We must continue to fight to protect women ‘s rights nationwide,

New tobacco laws will save lives The American Cancer Society Cancer Acton Network applauds Gov. Phil Scott and the state legislature for acting to protect the lives and the health of our residents by raising the sale age of tobacco products to 21 and prohibiting the online sale of e-cigarettes. These new laws will help address the boom in youth e-cigarette use and save lives. E-cigarette use among young people in Vermont has nearly doubled. A 2016 U.S. Surgeon General’s report concluded “e-cigarette use is strongly associated with the use of other tobacco products among youth and young adults, particularly combustible tobacco products.” The American Cancer Society is concerned that e-cigarette use is creating a new generation of Vermonters who will suffer from a deadly, lifelong addiction to nicotine and tobacco products. On behalf of all Vermonters, I am thankful to our elected officials for enacting these life-saving laws. Jennifer Costa American Cancer Society
Foster families celebrated, recruited May is Foster Care Month in Vermont, a time to celebrate the hundreds of foster families in the state that provide safe, nurturing homes for children while they can’t be at home. Foster families keep children safe, support parents and help families stay connected. They help us keep local kids local by opening their hearts and homes to children in need. Without them, children would have to live outside of their communities and away from all that’s familiar. We have a need for more Vermont foster families. With over 1,300 children in foster care throughout Vermont, we need families for children of all ages and experiences. If providing foster care is not right for you at this time, consider providing respite care. It’s much like foster care but for shorter periods of time (e.g., a few hours, a day, a weekend, or a week or two). Respite provides foster parents opportunities to relax, re-energize and attend to additional responsibilities. For more information about becoming a foster parent or respite provider, contact Cathy Frost at (802) 951.0020 or Meghan Flanders at (802) 951.0021, or visit fostercare. vt.gov.

Ian Parent
Ian Parent — player of the year Champlain Valley Union High School’s Ian Parent was named Gatorade Vermont high school baseball player of the year last Thursday. Parent helped lead the Redhawks to a 15-1 record and the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Division I playoffs. The senior finished with a 4-0 record on the mound, including a no-hitter against Rice. He had a 0.46 ERA, allowed just 13 hits and struck out 35 batters over 26.1 innings. He was also a force at the plate, with a .500 batting average and 10 RBIs. “Parent’s stuff is really good, and he throws with good velocity,” said Burr and Burton coach Ed Lewicki in a press release. “He’s a very solid player overall who’s done it against a difficult schedule.” Parent has maintained a 3.19 grade-point average and will attend Endicott College in Massachusetts in the fall, where he will play baseball. The award recognizes outstanding athletic excellence, academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field. — Lauren Read
Champlain Valley Union High School tennis player Sophie Dauerman captured the Vermont individual state championship Saturday in Burlington, defeating Hartford’s Phelan O’Keefe (7-6 [4], 6-3) in the final.

Kathy Joseph won the trophy in 2014, 2015 and 2016, while Stephanie Joseph followed up with wins in 2017 and 2018. Dauerman led her team in the team state championship tournament this week. CVU finished the season at 11-1 and entered the Division I postseason with the No. 1 seed. BASEBALL Mount Mansfield 8, Champlain Valley 2: Champlain Valley losts its bid for an undefeated season in the final game of the regular season on Thursday, falling to Mount Mansfield 8-2.

Lena Ashool made 20 saves in a losing effort.

SENIORS
Savvy Senior By Jim Miller
Adaptive gardening: tips and tools for older gardeners Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good tools and tips for senior gardeners? My 77-year-old mother loves to work in the garden, but over the past few years has been plagued by injuries. Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, Aches, pains and injuries are not uncommon among older gardeners. Because gardening is such a physi-
cal activity that often requires a lot of bending and stooping, squatting and kneeling, gripping and lifting, it can be extremely taxing on an aging body. Back pain and knee injuries are most common among older gardeners, along with carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. To help keep your mom injury-free this summer, here are some tips and gardening equipment ideas that can make gardening a little easier.
WARM UP With gardening, good form is very important as well as not overdoing any one activity. A common problem is that gardeners often kneel or squat, putting extra pressure on their knees. Then, to spare their knees, they might stand and bend over for long stretches to weed, dig and plant, straining their back and spine. To help your mom protect her body, she needs to warm up before beginning. Start by stretching, focusing on the legs and lower back. And keep changing positions and activities. Don’t spend hours weeding a flowerbed. After 15 minutes of weeding, she should stand up, stretch and switch to another activity like pruning the bushes or just take a break. It’s also important that she recognizes her physical limitations and doesn’t try to do too much all at once. And, when lifting heaver objects, she needs to remember to use her legs to preserve her back. She can do this by keeping the item close to her body and squatting to keep her back as vertical as possible.
Spring is FINALLY here!
LABOR SAVING TOOLS The right gardening equipment can help, too. Kneeling pads can protect knees, and garden seats or stools are both back and knee savers. Lightweight garden carts can make hauling bags of mulch, dirt, plants or other heavy objects much easier. And long-handled gardening tools can help ease the strain on the back by keeping your mom in a standing upright position versus bent over. There are also ergonomic gardening tools with fatter handles and other design features that can make lawn and garden activities a little easier. EASIER WATERING The chore of carrying water or handling a heavy, awkward hose can also be difficult for older gardeners. Some helpful options include lightweight fabric hoses instead of heavy rubber hoses; soaker or drip hoses that can be snaked throughout the garden; thin coil hoses that can be used on the patio or small areas; a hose caddy and reel for easier hose transport around the
yard; and a self-winding hose chest that puts the hose up automatically. There are also a variety of ergonomic watering wands that are lightweight, easy to grip and reach those hard toget-to plants. To find ergonomic gardening tools and the recommended watering aids, check with local retail stores that sell lawn and garden supplies, or try online retailers like Gardeners.com or RadiusGarden.com. CONTAINER GARDENING If your mom’s backyard garden has become too much for her to handle, she should consider elevated garden beds or container gardening — using big pots, window boxes, hanging baskets, barrels or tub planters. This is a much easier way to garden because it eliminates much of the bend and strain of gardening, but still gives her the pleasure of making things grow. Trellises are another nice option that would allow her to garden vertically instead of horizontally.

CLASSIFIEDS LEGAL NOTICE Town of St. George Notice of Planning Commission Public Hearing: Proposed Land Use Regulations Pursuant to 24 V.S.A. § 4444, the St. George Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, June 25, 2019, 7:00 pm, at the St. George Town Office, 21 Barber Road, to receive com-ments on draft amendments to the Town of St. George Land Use Regulations. The purpose of the proposed Flood Haz-ard and River Corridor Overlay District is to regulate land development within the special flood hazard area and river corridors to: (1) Avoid and minimize the loss of life and property, the disruption of commerce, the impairment of the tax
base, and the extraordinary public ex-penditures and demands on public ser-vices that result from flooding related inundation and erosion; (2) Ensure that the selection, design, creation, and use of development in hazard areas is reasona-bly safe and accomplished in a manner that is consistent with public wellbeing, does not impair stream equilibrium, floodplain services, or the river corridor; and (3) Manage flood hazard areas in accordance with state and federal regula-tions so that the Town of St. George, its residents and businesses will remain eligible for federal flood insurance, fed-eral disaster recovery funds, and hazard mitigation funds. Copies of the draft Land Use Regulations and Planning Commission report are available for review at the St. George Town Office, 21 Barber Road, during nor-

Airport officials encourage residents to visit btvsound.com, where homeowners can enter their address to see if they are in the impacted zone. Federal Aviation Administration funds may be available to residents for noise mitigation upgrades, market value price protection or outright purchase by the airport. Airport Director Gene Richards said it’s difficult to quantify what newly impacted residents will experience. “We all have different levels of sensitivity to sound,” he said. “We all have different tolerances. “(Homeowners) can reach out to us, and we will spend the time with you so you understand the process,” he continued. “We are here to advocate on behalf of the community to solicit funds for noise mitigation.” Airport officials will offer home visits as part of its funding request to the FAA. “(Homeowner) engagement is really crucial,” Airport Deputy Director Nic Longo said. “We will pinpoint your unique circumstances and get engaged with what are the available options for you as a homeowner.” The new map roughly follows estimates in the environmental impact statement (EIS)

that the Air Force completed in 2013 ahead of approving Burlington as an F-35 host. Airport consultant Brandon Robinette said he relied on information in the EIS about the Air Guard’s proposed F-35 operation schedule and the jet’s noise profile when he developed the new map. The 65 decibel zone represents an average of daily and night-time operations, he said. “It’s a newer aircraft engine that is more powerful,” Robinette said. The City of Winooski will experience the biggest increase in noise exposure because of the F-35, the new map shows, with about 1,350 new homes and about 3,100 residents newly affected. The first two F-35s are expected to arrive in August.
