The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organi zation — and subsequent moves by poli ticians in many states to curb or eliminate access to safe abortion services — under mines health care access for millions of people. This impact falls disproportionately on those who already faced long-standing health care inequities and systemic or socio economic barriers to health and wellness.

We believe decisions about reproductive health, including abortion, are a private matter between patient and provider. The frequent invocation of late-term abortion in public debate ignores the fact that abortion late in pregnancy is extremely rare — both in Vermont and nationally — and almost always results from a combination of dire medical need and intense social stressors.
Can I share a secret?
In retrospect, I think we tried to do too much in too little time to bring about radi cal change in the look and feel and econom ic impact of this part of town and assumed that as errors or omissions were discovered that they would be handily corrected.
I see there’s a full moon on the 9th I’m looking forward to it.
As a longtime physician focusing on women’s and family health care, I’ve seen first-hand how personal and difficult these decisions can be: They come down to individual circumstance, at specific points in time. I’m proud that our health system is here to serve patients as they make these decisions.Withpolitical rhetoric ramping up, I

want to provide facts and context on this issue as it relates to our network. First, it’s important to note that our patients asked us for complete reproductive care, and we responded by providing those services. We offer high-quality reproductive health care, including services and education related to contraception; preconception care and plan ning; infertility; assisted reproductive care (including in vitro fertilization); pregnancy; abortion; and adoption — in whatever way is appropriate based on a person’s unique clinical circumstances.
As a member who served on the commission that introduced form-based zoning under the championship of then fellow member Kate Lalley, I could only agree with the Blue Lines consulting team that Shelburne’s zoning policy in the town’s residential area along the northern part of Shelburne Road is “overly complex for

Our health network stands in support of preserving access to the full range of reproductive health care, including abortion services. We support the right of patients to make decisions, with their health care provider, for themselves and their families.

In the Hinesburg-Monkton area, Jessika Yates has been running Yates Family Orchard since 2008.
Jessika’s overall favorite? Northern Spy.
“This season is tremendous,” she said, looking out into the trees on a recent afternoon. She expects to have trees full of fruit all season.
Yates thinks this season will be good for business. Her orchard boasts 28 kinds of apples that ripen throughout the fall.

She started out with 2 acres and now manages four times that amount.

Urban said they come back each year because “my community is here.”Community, and communi ty-building, is important to Yates and part of her orchard’s mission. One way she goes about fostering making that happen? The “drea mee,” a cider doughnut topped with a creamee. It’s become something of a famous offering among locals.
Something to try this fall is the orchard’s brandy — known as Dead Bird Brandy — that Cowles has been making out of apples that drop to the ground. He started this proj ect in 2009, and it takes eight years for the brandy to age.
A bag of apples in one hand and a dreamee in the other can do just that, she said.
Out of all the apple varieties, Macintosh is the clear winner for Cowles, and he even recommends using it in apple pies.
with about 8,000 apple trees, the orchard hosts a band each weekend and offers cider by the glass and doughnuts to go along with it. People who might want to visit by horse will find a special treat: a free apple for their equine friend.“It’s a wonderful place to bring the kids,” Cowles said. “They’re coming for the apples, but they’re also coming just to get out in the orchard and have something to do.”
continued from page 1
At the concert Sept. 11, two of Yates’ longtime friends, Margaret Urban and Betsy Brown, came to listen to the Allman Brothers tribute band Soulshine Revival.
Cowles is optimistic about the apple season at his orchard this year. About 90 percent of the orchard has been set aside for folks to pick their own apples. This year marks what’s known as a bumper crop, he said, or an unusually large harvest. It comes from a successful growing season with plenty of rain and warm temperatures, he said.

“It’s the kind of thing that takes numerous generations, really, to make a really good brandy, and we’re feeling pretty good about how it’s all unfolding,” he said.
One of the main events at Yates Family Orchard is a concert every Sunday through mid-October. Local bands play on the deck over looking the orchard while guests pick apples, relax at picnic tables and enjoy cider doughnuts.
“This year is a big, big year,” he said. “It’s crazy when you drive to the orchard to think that all these apples are gonna get picked. I mean, they’re just row after row afterAlongrow.”

The discussion comes as retail theft, thefts from motor vehicles, and other forms of petty crime have become more commonplace along the town’s Route 7 commer cial corridor. Police routinely respond weekly to businesses like Kinney Drugs and Tractor Supply for reports of retail theft. Business es also sometimes seek no trespass orders.Shelburne police Chief
“Those are everything from calls of disturbances, drug use, just folks out of control, and a lot of the calls are mental health issues,” he said.It is unclear if there is any official data showing if any these crimes can be traced to people using the motel voucher program. Nonetheless, some residents and business owners are conflating the petty crime with the program.
