proved for voter consideration on Feb. 5 a $4.2 million plan that would fund building repairs and upgrades, most !"#$%&'( !)*( +"",!-( .!( /"0)( $+)$/1(major improvements to the school’s $23.#"+.204(5.#67)!($!3(6$8)#)+.$1($!3(bleachers in the middle school gym. That $4.2 million bond would also

Dear Eric,

It was a pleasure to work with you with the installation of our

solar hot water system. From the time of our site visit right

through the overview of the operation and maintenance of the

system; your professionalism and knowledge of the system

were appreciated since we have absolutely no experience

with any solar operations. The quality of your workmanship

is also excellent. It is obvious you take pride in your work. We

would highly recommend you for installation of all Sunward

systems.

Thank you again for making this such a smooth process.

Think Sunshine!

– Tassie Blondin

Working with Harvestar was a real pleasure. What we

particularly valued was that Eric and his crew took time to

explain to us how they were going to install the system and

how it operated. Whenever we’ve asked a follow­up question,

someone has gotten back to us quickly and with the right

advice. We’ve enthusiastically and with no reservations

recommended Harvestar to our friends who are considering

solar installations – or who are looking for a good company

The raids, in Bran?don, Leicester, Ferrisburgh, Burling?ton and Bennington, resulted in 64 arrests and seizure of roughly 2,000 grams of heroin.And while some of those arrested

in these raids are from out of state, most are local. Many, along with the addicts they serve, were born and raised in Vermont. And they all have to live somewhere.That is the root of a problem that

She contacted Brandon Police Chief Chris Brickell

asking him to is?sue no trespass notices against a list of people who had visited the apartment while the former tenants were living there. Brickell informed her that he does not have the le?gal right to issue such notices just because she owns

the building. By law, the person oc?cupying an apartment is in control of the dwelling, he said, and that person may request the notice against tres?pass, not the building owner.As far as suspicion of further drug

activity, the chief told the landlord that he was in touch with the Ver?mont State Police Task Force about the property, but without proof there was not much he could do.“I have an obligation to treat peo?

After listening to Obama’s second inaugural address Monday, I found myself thinking about activism. In the speech, which was called “progressive” by various me­dia outlets, the President touched on past social move­ments (Seneca Falls, Selma, Stonewall) and mentioned the one that — after a summer of Colorado burning non­stop, and Sandy wiping out seaside towns along the East !"#$%&%'(&)((*&+(,"-(&%'(&.(/(-#0&10(2%3"/&4&3$&5/#006&holding the nation’s attention these days: the climate movement. Activism means different things to

different people. The word seems to carry a certain amount of stigma in some circles, though in itself, activ­ism doesn’t mean taking to the streets and embodying a counterculture. I grew up hearing about the protests of the sixties and seventies, which both of my parents participated in, though by the time I was a young kid hearing about the rallies and sit­ins and demonstrations, they seemed to have lost some of their sheen. In school, the word “activism” was something that teachers said a little snidely. The message they sent was that “activists” were hopelessly divorced from reality, past their prime, and so cast away from the mainstream that they could never hope to accomplish much. Real change happened in politics, they wanted us to know, and through those elected people that older people put in charge of making decisions for us.7&)#$& 89& #/:& 3/& (3;'%'& ;-#:(& %'(&5-$%& %3<(& 7& (=>(-3­

enced something that might have been called activism. In my public school in New York, not too long after Sep­tember 11, my friends and I followed a group of high schoolers out of the building and half a mile west to Union Square Park, a historic protest location in lower Manhattan. There was a rally there to protest the invasion of Afghanistan, a mixture of suits on their lunch breaks and old hippies who looked like they hadn’t left the park

since the late seventies. After some speeches, my friends and I trailed after a section of the crowd that led an im­promptu march off the sidewalks and onto the streets, )'(-(& 3%& $%">>(:& %-#,52?&1@(/%A#006B&)(&)(-(& 2"--#00(:&by city police into a single square block near Washington Square Park.

Whether or not the protest was effective was not the point for me. Clearly, none of the anti­war pro­tests during the Bush years changed anything practical. But I remember walking with the crowd and being moved by the feeling of being in it together with other people. Right af­ter the towers collapsed, our notori­"A$06& $%#/:",5$'& 23%6& '#:& 2'#/;(:?&

People interacted with each other differently. In a place where passersby normally don’t even make eye contact, suddenly everyone looked out for you, stranger asking stranger how they were doing, where they were when “it happened.” People hugged each other, bought each other subway tokens, told stories at the vigils that were erected in every public square. Near Ground Zero people sat through the night. To my kid’s mind, it didn’t seem that the protest I attended was political, particularly, or going against the grain in some way. It seemed like an extension of the “coming together” phenomenon that had happened in the wake of tragedy and, though the mes­sages spoken were political in nature, the reality of the experience just seemed very human.Student activism is a tricky thing. At what point is

your judgment considered sound? Hasn’t everyone been told at some point, “You’re a kid. You don’t know what you’re talking about.” At the age of 13, your claim to

The most enduring inaugural addresses in American history — Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, John D(//(:6&4&'#@(&#00&+((/&5-$%&3/#A;A-#0$&%'#%&<#-*(:&a change in the political direction of the nation. Only Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural, delivered in March 1865, just a few weeks before the end of the Civil War and the re­elected president’s own assassina­tion, is counted among the great speeches in American history.In his second inaugural address

this past Monday, President Obama demonstrated that he is a master at using the power of words to connect enduring themes in the American po­litical tradition to the challenges the nation faces today. Much of Obama’s second inaugural address was a set of variations on a theme. He used the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, the preamble of the Constitution, and references to Martin Luther King’s “I E#@(&#&F-(#<G&$>((2'&%"&$>#-*&-(H(2%3"/$&"/&%'(&<(#/­ing of liberty and equality in 21st­century America. As Obama spoke, I could not help thinking of the words and spirit of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. — men honored just a few blocks away from where the president was addressing the nation and the world.To me, the best part of Obama’s speech was toward

the end, where the president said that “We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still;

just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual free­dom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth. “It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those

pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our moth­ers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.

Last week a very dedicated, >0(#$#/%B&>-"523(/%&KLM6(#-M"0:&volunteer was let go after 14 years of twice­weekly service in her as­signment at Porter Hospital. She had just made a remarkable recov­ery from major surgery and had full clearance from her doctor. No reason was given for this “termina­tion,” and there were no offerings of appreciation for her generous contribution to the hospital.When I heard the news, I ex­

perienced the same goose bumps and chills all over my body that I felt when I heard about the Rev. Diana Scholl’s termination. The abruptness, the blindside, the lack of appreciation, the harshness, the insensitivity and coldness, the bizarre nature of these decisions and the obvious lack of insight into their impact on patients and staff/volunteers takes my breath away, bewilders me and makes me hurt for all involved.In light of these kinds of deci­

sions and the manner in which they have been executed, I wonder what is happening with Porter Hospital administration and if Porter Hospi­tal has even lost its heart.

President Obama’s inaugural speech put aside America’s highly vaunted individualism and instead appealed to the kinder angels within the American character.“This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled

our resolve and proved our resilience,” the president said of the past dozen years. “A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together.“For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when

a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it…“We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad

shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when (@(-6&>(-$"/&2#/&5/:&3/:(>(/:(/2(&#/:&>-3:(&3/&%'(3-&)"-*B&)'(/&%'(&wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship….“We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs

of our time. We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, reach higher… “We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the

lucky, or happiness for the few… The commitments we make to each other through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative, they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.”Imagine. By not being desperate, American residents can rise out

of poverty, avoid wrong paths and work to reach higher plateaus. Government is not the boogeyman, but is making the assist — the good set that lets others score.Even more notable was President Obama’s focus on climate change

and the principle of equality, a section of the speech that was his most eloquent.“We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are

not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging 5-($B&#/:&2-3>>03/;&:-"A;'%B&#/:&<"-(&>")(-,A0&$%"-<$???“We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all

of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still… Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.”

nation’s political landscape.As Washington Post columnist Harold Meyerson wrote Wednesday,

********** Capping his speech, he challenged opponents with a clear message

that gives hope over the next four years: “Progress does not compel us to settle centuries­old debates about the role of government for all time — but it does require us to act in our time,” the president declared. “For now, decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name­calling as reasoned debate. We must act...”Amen.

the Pursuit of Happiness — real for every American.”Barack Obama’s challenge over

the next four years will be to use the rhetorical skills he has dem­onstrated on so many occasions, along with the leadership and po­litical skills he has yet fully to de­velop, to move the nation toward realization of the goal he articu­

lated so eloquently in his speech — greater equality for all Ameri­cans — women and men, gays and straights, immigrants and natives, young and old, of whatever race — and in so doing to come closer to perfecting the truths declared by Jefferson in 1776.Eric L. Davis is professor emeri­

tus of political science at Middlebury College.

Davis(Continued from Page 4A)

On climate, divestment as investmentThere’s an esoteric­sounding

word echoing across campuses and board rooms this winter. Like many colleges and univer­

sities across the country, Middle­bury College is suddenly facing demands from students, faculty and alumni about “divestment”: withdrawing investments from companies whose primary busi­ness is the production and sale of fossil fuels. UVM is facing similar demands.The campaign to

pressure colleges to divest out of fossil fuels was launched in part by 350.org, an organization founded by Middlebury Col­lege students and local author and activist Bill McKibben.That makes the

challenge to divest an especially big one for the college. It’s one admirable

step to commit to be­ing carbon­neutral by 2016, as the college has. It’s an­!"#$%&'()**$%'"#)+*'"!'%$"%!,"'(-)./­ings for energy conservation, as the college has. Bigger yet was the conversion to burning wood chips for heat and electricity.But to take a lucrative and prof­

itable portion of the college’s en­dowment and switch it out of all fossil fuel companies? Now that’s a big challenge.0#$' 1$1!%2' !3' "#$' ,+4+5)4.'

impact of the Great Recession is fresh at Middlebury. And even the small, approximately 1 percent of the endowment the college says is directly invested in fossil fuels helps fund many college programs.Yet the opportunity offered by

divestment is far bigger than the challenges.For one thing, a big piece of the

college’s reputation is at stake. Will the college with the oldest

admirably, to put its money where its mouth is?An event Sunday night in the col­

lege’s Mead Chapel, which kicked off the pro­divestment campaign, made the stakes quite obvious.Destabilizing climates hurt ev­

eryone — from Vermont ski areas and maple sugar makers to the mil­lions of Pakistanis displaced last 2$4%'(2'%$5!%/'8!!/)+*9'Unless we rapidly turn away

from most fossil fuels, warns McKibben, it won’t just be Addison County riverbanks and the New York City subways that 4%$'8!!/$/9Sea level rises as the

icecaps melt. “A major portion of humanity lives in coastal areas and small island states will go under water,” says climate expert Thomas Lovejoy.So far, Lovejoy

adds, we lack the or­ganized will to stem climate change: “What is needed is a world in which governments face the environmental challenge squarely, and

truly lead. The current mode of nibbling around the edges is pretty much pointless.” So would one college’s divest­

ment decision really matter? Absolutely it would. Middle­

bury’s action would set a powerful example. And as Vermont showed with marriage equality, examples matter. Last Sunday night’s event fea­

tured special videotaped comments from noted environmental leaders Van Jones, Naomi Klein and Clay­ton Thomas­Muller.Every one of those videos —

along with live remarks from Thomas Steyer, a wealthy investor and Stanford University trustee — had the same message: If Middle­bury leads the way on divestment, people will take note not only around the U.S., but everywhere.That’s because Middlebury, as

much as anywhere else, is the place where the contemporary move­ment to stem global warming and climate change took birth. Green groups around the world look to the Green Mountains, the college and 350.org for what to do next.:-(.)5.2' ;)"#/%4;)+*' ,+4+5)4.'

support from fossil fuel companies is a way to say those companies must be part of a rapid change to

conservation and alternative ener­gy. As with Phillip Morris and to­bacco, divestment stigmatizes the mindless production of fossil fuels. It sends a message that oil and

coal companies are outlaws whose very business imperils the planet.And as with divestment out of

apartheid — an action that Middle­bury trustees took in 1986 — di­vestment sends a message that the endless production of fossil fuel is in some ways immoral.That’s because if these com­

panies’ fossil fuel reserves are burned, global chaos will be the result. And I don’t use the word “chaos” lightly. 0#$' /)3,5-."' $<7$%)$+5$6' "#4"'

Americans have been through late­ly from extreme weather that cor­relates with climate change? They would be just a warm­up. Irene and Sandy, the long

drought in the West, last sum­mer’s drought in the Midwest that left many farmers unable to grow crops — scientists are now saying these would be minor blips. To be followed by the gigantic upheaval of life all over the globe. Within the lifetimes of today’s

college students, unless we change course right now — unless we fully invest our creativity, our dol­lars and our will to stop pumping so much carbon from fossil fuels into the atmosphere — chaos will be the result. Divestment is a powerful way to

say it’s time to turn away from the climate cliff. Before we go over it.

***Finally, a word about the recent

passing of Ana Martinez­Lage. Ana was a friend to many of us here. A member of the Middlebury College Spanish language faculty, she died much too young last week after living for some years with breast cancer. As college President Ron Liebowitz noted in his mov­ing remarks at Ana’s memorial service, she brought a friendly de­termination to her work and helped pioneer new ways to teach foreign languages. An inspiringly loving mother to her two daughters, Ana was, for all who knew her, a bright shining light.Gregory Dennis’s column ap­

month, my boss asked my boyfriend and I why we weren’t out there orga­nizing and protesting with Bill McK­ibben, which struck me as a totally reasonable question. Many of my college peers were directly involved with climate change activism; aside from a handful of older scientists, writers and activists, today’s en­vironmental movement (like most movements throughout history) is built by youth. If saving the environ­ment really is my generation’s Sen­eca Falls, Selma or Stonewall, why aren’t we all out there? My answer, in the simplest sense,

is that activism doesn’t look the way I used to think about it anymore. Activism happens through voting, through writing, and by studying. The people on the street are im­

portant, but so is everything else. Though I can still remember a long period of hearing that my peers and I were apathetic and apolitical, I don’t think anyone could accuse us of that these days. There is an incredible, thriving political youth culture in this country regardless of what po­litical party you ally yourself with (or whether you support either of the parties.) Without the youth vote, Obama would have lost the election handily to Mitt Romney; without a substantial youth voice, the Tea Par­ty would not have rallied itself into becoming a major player in the 2010 midterm elections or the 2012 gen­eral election.The climate movement is interest­

ing because it’s not necessarily parti­san, and though its organizers borrow heavily from the past, it doesn’t quite look like the old activism either. It seems to have both an objectivity (if you accept the premise of science) and urgency (Colorado’s burning; my home was destroyed in a hurri­cane; the Greenland ice cap melted

in 72 hours) that makes it easy for folks to get on board. My social me­dia feeds exploded with triumphant posts the second that Obama uttered the words “climate change” during his second inaugural.As I’ve watched the movement

develop I’ve noticed that activ­ism has taken on a new tint. The protesters that are arrested on the Washington Mall are wearing suits; the Internet means that attention isn’t something that comes from physical numbers (though that ex­ists, too) but how widely a message is circulated, a phenomenon that can now be tracked by “likes” and “retweets.” A social movement, as Obama’s speechwriters would like us to take note of, takes place in the political process as well as through energy generated from protests and rallies and Twitter feeds. And that’s encouraging. It means that when it comes to issues this big, the ones that really matter, there’s no one thing that “activism” is. It happens on many levels.

rels. Same percentage of ethanol in the barrel, and brandy is aged for the same number of years that bourbon whiskey and other whiskey are aged.I am surprised that a newcomer

to this business would not embrace this technology and move on with his career. The U.S. whiskey trade association has lobbied hard since the Clean Air Act (1970) to keep the EPA hoodwinked on the emission

control possibilities. Mr. Bhatka is probably unaware that there really is a solution to his problem, but if he is guided solely by the “whiskey indus­try” moguls he will surely continue to struggle. I hope this advances the dialog

so that WhistlePig and Solar Haven Farm may coexist in perfect har­mony.

Ana Martínez-Lage, 49, MiddleburyMIDDLEBURY — Ana Martínez­

Lage, 49, of Middlebury died Jan. 15, 2013, after a long and heroic battle with cancer.Born in Pamplona, Spain, on Sept.

8, 1963, she was the second of eight children.A gifted teacher and scholar of

language pedagogy, Ana received her PhD. from Penn State University in 1992. She then taught at George Mason University. She arrived as a member of the Spanish and Portuguese depart­ment at Middlebury College in 1996. She received tenure in 2002, was promoted to full professor in 2011 and served in many administrative roles as well, including assistant dean of the Language Schools. She was honored as professor emerita when her illness required her to retire from her active professional life.Her research and curricular devel­

opment were nationally recognized; in particular, she was a pioneer in the development of digital language learning materials. She was known on campus as an invaluable resource for all language faculty. She was a gener­ous colleague and mentor who left an indelible mark on the Middlebury College community. Her dedication to nurturing colleagues and junior faculty even in the midst of her illness was remarkable. She had a deep love of languages and, most of all, loved teaching language to others. Teaching was an essential part of Ana’s life, and her classroom was a space that brought her and her students much happiness. She made language learn­ing an adventure — for her children, her friends, and herself.She lived with passion and integ­

rity, devoting energy to causes she

cared about deeply. For several years, she was among the top fundrais­ers and most active advocates for cancer research through Relay for Life, giving a powerful and inspiring speech at the Middlebury Relay in 8?MMC$K;#$(5"#-$!,#$755-+$41)/.$&,-$the performing arts, especially when shared with good friends. Her circle of close and loving friends was large. Nothing made her happier than lively conversation with interesting people around a table spread with a wonder­ful meal. As committed and passionate as Ana

was about her professional life, her deepest love and highest commitment were to her family, most especially her beloved daughters, who were her joy. She was actively engaged in their activities, and made swim meets, music lessons and school trips her priorities. She was wholeheartedly invested in their school communities — Aurora School and North Branch School — which became extended families for them all. She is survived by her daughters,

Amalia and Marina Herren­Lage; her father, José Manuel Martínez Lage; her siblings, Pablo, Pedro, Juan, Jaime, María and Belén Martínez­Lage; four nephews; 10 nieces; and a large loving family of relatives and friends.A celebration of her life was held

I don’t travel much, but if I did go on a trip, it probably wouldn’t be during the month of January. That’s not just because I would hate to miss any good skiing, but mostly because January tends to bring lots of new students to the yoga room and I want to be there to welcome them. What is it about the new year that encourages us to begin a yoga practice? Is it that bloated feel­ing after one too many eggnogs or Chanukah latkes or Christmas pies? It certainly seems true that on Jan. 1 we are likely to resolve to exercise more, eat more kale, and generally shape ourselves up.While new year’s resolutions

*&+',/&2#$ =&'&+/$our small yoga business, a part of me rebels against all this rampant self improvement. Why? Because more often than not, the desire to be better comes from a place of feeling bad about ourselves. Depending to some degree on how plugged in we are to 21st­century c o m m e r c i a l culture, we are bombarded with images that tell us we just aren’t good enough. We aren’t thin enough, young enough, sexy enough. We don’t have enough hair, or our hair isn’t the right texture or color. We don’t have the right clothes, furni­ture, cell phone.

While I try to maintain my California hippie status by reject­ing most glossy magazines and the airbrushed models therein, I am sorry to confess that I am not entirely immune to looking at my body through a critical lens. In fact, in the recent photo of me that ran in this paper, I noticed a slight bulge in my waistline that Trent Campbell could have easily photoshopped out, if he only knew how much it would bother me! As soon as I noticed it, I was hit by a swirl of nega­tive emotions. It’s my job to help others learn to love their bodies. If I am dismayed to discover an ounce of fat in my belly area, how can I

teach others what I so obviously still need to learn myself? It’s like trying to teach a yoga posture that I haven’t yet mastered! However much I celebrate the diversity of the human form, and honor all the different shapes we come in, I guess as a woman in the United States in 2013, I still get to have a

body issue or two!The truth is that we are all learn­

ing yoga along a continuum. I am still deepening my knowledge of many postures that I routinely teach my students. The way I do my poses 10 years from now will probably

look very different from how I’m practicing today. My students don’t expect me to be perfect, they expect me to keep learning and to share my love of yoga with them. Practicing yoga

serves to help us understand ourselves further and deeper. As tools for self awareness, the postures show us ;%&4&$;&$"4&$>&?,=2&$and where we are restricted. They show us where we are strong and where we are weak. They show us our psychological tendencies, positive and negative. In the course of a 60­ or 90­minute practice, we might experience impatience, frustra­tion, pride, fatigue, exhilaration, delight, sadness or boredom.In many yoga systems there is

some distinction between beginning students, intermediate students and advanced students (who are usually teachers themselves). What differ­entiates a beginning­level student from a more intermediate one? It’s ')/$!/4&'-/%$)4$>&?,=,2,/#0$=./$"$@."2­ity of awareness and integration. A tighter­bodied student must learn to use a different prop setup than someone with greater mobility. An &?/4&A&2#$>&?,=2&$*"':&4$A.!/$-."4*$against practicing in a way that will injure her joints. When we learn to be aware of our own physical and

mental tendencies, and practice in a way that encourages stability and freedom, we are moving toward a greater level of mastery.If you practice hatha yoga you

could have a physi­cal goal of learning to do a headstand, push up into a backbend, or to be able to sit on the >))4$ :)A5)4/"=2#<$Or you could have a goal of learning to be more calm, less anxious, or kinder to those around you.

/%&,4$B4":/,:&<C$D$2)8&$/%,!$*&+',/,)'$of mastery. The word yoga means to harness, yoke or join together. When we practice, we are unifying body and mind. We are also unify­ing ourself with the entire cosmos. So from a yogic standpoint all of our goals can be seen as being in service to that big practice of understanding how connected we are to all that is. Joanna Colwell is the director of

the Brandon area and statewide for years, but there has been a notice­able shift in the drug of choice. For the last decade, abuse of prescription painkillers like OxyContin and Oxy­Codone has been rampant in Ver­mont. However, the cost, increased vigilance around prescription fraud and changes in the pharmaceuti­cal industry have made these drugs harder for addicts to acquire and abuse. In their place comes an old favorite: heroin.In many ways, it’s the perfect

drug. It’s cheap (about $5 for a bag containing enough for a high), easier !"#$%&'#(%&#)(*+),#!"#-*).In 2010, OxyContin maker Purdue

Pharma developed an abuse­deter­ring version of the drug that turns to gel when crushed, making it harder for people to snort or inject for a quick high.On the street, OxyContin now

fetches $25­$30 per 10­20 mg. pill. An 80 mg. dose can cost up to $80.In 2012, the New England Journal

of Medicine published a study that seemed to prove this shift from pain­killers to heroin. The study included more than 2,500 people who were dependent on opioids, who were fol­lowed between July 2009 and March 2012. During that period there was a 17 percent decrease in OxyContin abuse, heroin abuse doubled, almost one­fourth of participants were able to abuse OxyContin despite the refor­mulation, and 66 percent switched to heroin.FILLING A NEEDIt’s no secret that many landlords

tend to rent to tenants who receive some kind of public assistance. Of­ten people who earn a lower income cannot afford to buy a home and must settle for renting an apartment. Others may be on disability, are un­able to work, and cannot afford to own their own home and must rent

as well. And, of course, three years into the economic recovery from re­cession, more and more people have lost their jobs and have had to take jobs that pay less. Many have lost their homes and are now renters. Still others are merely young people who are unable to earn and save enough money to own a home.Whatever the reason, there will al­

ways be a market for rental housing. Unfortunately, with the investment of a rental property comes the crap­*/""!#"0#$%&+%1#(%&#2))3+%1#,)*3"%­sible, paying tenants. It’s a time­consuming process that involves a certain level of trust, but Brickell said he doesn’t think Brandon land­lords are choosy enough about who they rent to.“A lot of these issue stem from peo­

ple the landlords brought in,” he said. “Do your due diligence. Do back­ground checks on people. Call former

landlords, check court records, crimi­nal records. These are public records, and it costs nothing but maybe the price of making copies.”Even if a more involved back­

ground check ends up costing the landlord some money, Brickell said it’s a small price to pay in the face of legal fees for an eviction and costly repairs to a rental property.“It’s money well spent prior to

renting to a bad tenant,” he said. “You’re a property owner, and you have to treat people fairly, but you (4*"# /(5)# !"# 3,"!)6!# 7"-,# $%(%6+(4#investment.”EASIER SAID THAN DONEBryan Jones has owned rental

and out made it obvious what he was doing,” Jones said. “I told him I was going to call the cops if he wasn’t gone by the weekend. He left.”While he agrees with Brickell that

the best offense against bad tenants is a good background check, Jones admits he could do a better job in that area.“I’m sure I don’t do a thorough

enough check,” he said. “I understand being careful about who you rent to, but as a landlord, you have to be able to pay the bills.” said that means that sometimes

renting to a questionable tenant is bet­ter than having an empty unit.“So if at some point you have to say

‘Yes’ to someone who’s a bad choice but the best choice you have, you do it,” he said. “Sometimes, it works out, sometimes you get stiffed. It’s easy to say ‘Screen your tenants and make good choices,’ but those people don’t have these bills to pay.”That said, James said he tries to get

as much information from a potential tenant as possible, including previous landlord and employment informa­tion going back at least three years. But James also said that potential renters can play fast and loose with the facts, using relatives with differ­ent names as references and lying about their employment and income.Patrick Riordan is a landlord in

Rutland and treasurer of the Vermont Rental Property Owners Association, an organization with 290 member landlords statewide. He agreed that background checks are the best way 0",# 4(%&4",&# !"#$%&# !/)#<)*!# !)%(%!*.#To that end, the VRPOA starting of­fering members discounted credit checks on potential tenants. Riordan said more so than drugs,

the biggest challenge most Vermont landlords face is the eviction law, which makes getting rid of a tenant a long, drawn out and expensive pro­cess. Riordan said on average, it takes 0"-,#!"#$5)#="%!/*.“It handcuffs the landlord,” Rior­

dan said of the eviction process. “If a tenant refuses to move, it can be four ",# $5)# ="%!/*# &-,+%1# 9/+6/# !/)7#don’t pay rent, on top of the legal ex­penses the landlord has to pay.”Riordan said the VRPOA is work­

ing with legislators to streamline Vermont’s eviction law.LOVE THY NEIGHBORPeople are inherently curious (i.e.

nosey) and Brickell said that vigilant neighbors to buildings where there is suspected drug activity have a responsibility to share information with local police.“There are things that people see

when we aren’t there,” he said. “And they have to take a stand and say, ‘This is not OK and I don’t want this in my neighborhood.’”But he added that fear of retalia­

tion is a major deterrent to most peo­ple sharing information with police. Brickell said for the most part, that fear is unfounded.“That’s the biggest drawback and

we deal with it all the time,” he said. “A lot of the time, it’s unrealistic. If you allow someone to intimidate you and that someone is allowed to con­tinue their criminal behavior because of that, that is equally bad, so what do you have to lose by contacting the police?”Bryan Jones said he believes apa­

thy, not fear of retaliation, is the main reason why most neighbors don’t report drug activity.“Most people just ignore it, but I

don’t think they’re worried about retaliation,” he said. “I think most people think, ‘Live and let live.’ I think people look at (drug activity) as a victimless crime, but it trickles down to kids and drugs lead to other crimes. It’s NOT a victimless crime.”

went from $5,000 to $8,000 due to the loss of grants that previously funded the program.While costs are up, however, so is

revenue from the state based on the increased number of pupils.The way Vermont’s education

funding formula works, however, is that schools receive state education

funding based on the number “equalized pupils,” not the number of actual students. The tax rate is determined by per pupil spending, so the more students a school enrolls while still keeping costs down, the lower the per pupil spending, which in turns lower the tax rate. Per pupil spending is usually determined by the state over a two­year average, but anytime the student population increases by at least 20 kids, the average is accelerated and the lower per pupil spending is applied right away.So, even though Leicester counts

71 students in its enrollment, the state counts 63 equalized pupils and

bases its funding on that number. The state counted 60 equalized pupils in Leicester for the current budget. That said, Leicester’s state funding is projected to rise based on the increase of three equalized pupils, %"!#F@#,)(4#3-3+4*'#0,"=#?CFA'G@D#!"#?CB@'CFH.#I"-1/47#?DHH'FGG#"0#!/(!#is state money, and $252,709 is local tax money, but it all goes into the same pot and is then doled back out by the state.All of this means that Leicester

four teachers and two principals that split a part­time position. That principal set­up makes it so the <"(,&#&")*#%"!#/(5)#!"#3(7#<)%)$!*.But Carroll said that Leicester

taxpayers are getting plenty of bang for their buck, citing the fact that Leicester School was one of few area schools to make Adequate Yearly Progress in state testing last year, despite a high number of students who live in poverty.“That is a testament to the fact that

we’re doing it right, even though we’re doing it on a shoestring,” Carroll said. “Our teachers are doing a great job.”

Stop in and get your beverages for the Super Bowl

By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports WriterSANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) —

Jim and John Harbaugh have ex­changed a handful of text messages, and plan to leave it at that. No phone conversations necessary while the season’s still going. No time for pleas­antries, even for the friendly siblings.There is work to be done to prepare

for the Super Bowl, prepare for each other, prepare for a history­making day already being widely hyped as “Harbowl” or “Superbaugh” depend­ing which nickname you prefer.“It doesn’t matter who the coach is,

what relationship you have with the person on the other side,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said so matter­of­factly Monday afternoon.Their parents sure aren’t picking

sides for the Feb. 3 matchup in New Orleans.These days, the Harbaughs’ long­

time coaching father, Jack, stays away from game­planning chatter or strat­egy sessions with his Super Bowl­bound coaching sons. Baltimore’s John Harbaugh and little brother Jim have been doing this long enough now to no longer need dad’s input.Yet, they still regularly seek it. And,

their father does offer one basic man­tra: “Get ahead, stay ahead.”“Probably the greatest advice that

I’ve ever been given and the only ad­vice that I’ve ever found to be true in all of coaching, I think we mentioned it to both John and Jim... the coaching advice is, ‘Get ahead, stay ahead,’” Jack Harbaugh said.“If I’m called upon, I’ll repeat that

same message.”His boys still call home regularly

to check in with the man who turned both on to the coaching profession years ago, and the mother who has handled everything behind the scenes for decades in a highly competitive, sports­crazed family — with all the routine sports clichés to show for it.The Harbaugh brothers will become

!"#$%&'!$'()*(+,'$!-$'./0&#$-11$1&-2$-3­posite sidelines when their teams play for the NFL championship at the Su­perdome.Not that they’re too keen on playing

up the storyline that has no chance of going away as hard as they try.“Well, I think it’s a blessing and

a curse,” Jim Harbaugh said Mon­day. “A blessing because that is my brother’s team. And, also, personally I played for the Ravens. Great respect for their organization. ... The curse part would be the talk of two brothers playing in the Super Bowl and what that takes away from the players that are in the game. Every moment that

you’re talking about myself or John, that’s less time that the players are go­ing to be talked about.”Both men love history, just not the

kind with them making it.“I like reading a lot of history ... I

guess it’s pretty neat,” John Harbaugh offered Monday. “But is it really go­ing to be written about? It’s not ex­actly like Churchill and Roosevelt or anything. It’s pretty cool, but that’s as far as it goes.”Nice try, guys.John watched the end of Jim’s game

with a smile.The brothers, separated in age by 15

months, have taken different paths to football’s biggest stage — years after their intense games of knee football at the family home. They tried to beat each other at cards, or whatever other game it was at the time. Sometimes, they tried to beat each other up. Sister, Joani Crean, often got in on the fun, too.The 49­year­old Jim never reached

it better than us? No­body!” — one catchphrase they got from their dad.“We can’t put into words what it

I’ll try inject some humor up front by suggesting that this panel contain an up front warning: Viewer discretion advised,” moderator David Salem said in his opening remarks, to resounding silence from the audience.“I say this not because I expect any­

one in the room tonight to misbehave, but because I expect, and in some re­spects hope, that this initial forum on divestment will seem boring, if not hopelessly off point to some of you,” added Salem, a 1978 Middlebury graduate. “We are asking everyone on this panel to leave for another day the !"#$%&#'"( ")*++$%,$!(that are part of the global debate now under way about cli­mate change.”Salem, who

pledged to maintain neutrality to the best of his ability but twice invoked his experience in the “money making” profession, said that Middlebury College would not have sur­vived for two centu­ries without the trust­ees making smart and safe investment decisions to ensure that the institution would prosper for generations of stu­dents and faculty to come. -)$(*./#$%"$('0!&()$*0/(1023(4#/­

dlebury College Vice President for Fi­nance Patrick Norton, who broke down the sources of revenue that fund the college’s $286 million annual operat­ing budget, noting that 18 percent — or $50 million — comes from an annual distribution from the college’s $900 million endowment. By far the biggest source of revenue for the operating budget comes from student tuition and fees, which fund 67 percent. Norton explained the college’s deci­

sion in 2005 to hand over management of a substantial portion of its endow­ment to Investure, a company that pools assets from its clients into a com­mingled fund. He also noted that his '%*%"#*+( 0$!52%!#6#+#&7( &2( &)$( "2++$,$(8*!( &2($%!.0$( &)*&( #&()*!( &)$('%*%"#*+(resources to give future generations of Middlebury students a quality educa­tion. Divesting from fossil fuels, which make up a “large portion” of invest­ment space, could have implications for the future of the college’s endow­ment, Norton said.Next up was Alice Hardy, the found­

er and president of Investure, who said that since her company uses commin­gled funds, 100 percent of her clients would have to want their portfolios

divested from fossil fuels for it to be­come a reality.“Our number­one priority is to sup­

port all of our clients so that we can all work together to make the world a bet­ter place,” Hardy said.“One of the nice things about capi­

talism is that with $900 million to spend, I’m pretty sure if there was a different way we wanted to do busi­ness, someone out there could help us,” interjected Middlebury Scholar in Residence Bill McKibben at a later point in the forum.

The panel also in­cluded college senior Charlie Arnowitz, president of the Stu­dent Government Association and an eleventh­hour con­cession to requests for a student voice at the table. Arnowitz was asked to present the results of a stu­dent survey meant to gauge student feel­ings on divestment.“This is an issue

that many students care deeply about, even if we don’t all agree,” Arnowitz said. “In my four years at Middlebury it’s almost certainly

the central campus issue that’s inspired the most dialogue among students in the last year or so.”The survey, which had netted re­

sponses from just under 50 percent of the student body as of Tuesday night, indicated that 63 percent of student re­spondents thought the college should invest in socially responsible compa­nies, while 14 percent were opposed and 23 percent had no opinion; 38 per­cent supported divestment from arms and the top 200 fossil fuel companies; 10 percent prioritized fossil fuel divest­ment over arms divestment; 15 percent did not support divestment; and 25 per­cent had no opinion. Arnowitz also stressed the need for

continued student involvement as dis­cussions about divestment continued. “Students deserve unique consider­

ation, and not just because 67 percent of the operating budget comes from our tuition and fees,” he said. “More than at other institutions, student opin­ions are a key legitimator of adminis­trative decisions here.”Mark Kritzman, a faculty member at

the Massachusetts Institute of Technol­ogy, gave a PowerPoint presentation that used simulated investment models to demonstrate that there is a cost to so­cially responsible investments. He said restricting the college’s investments 82.+/()*9$('%*%"#*+("2%!$:.$%"$!;

“This is just logic,” Kritzman said.The next expert, Ralph Earle, a clean

energy venture investor and former as­sistant secretary of environmental af­fairs in Massachusetts, said that while he believed that climate change was the key social issue of our times, he did not believe that divestment would be an effective way to address the ad­verse effects of global warming. Of the three major divestment campaigns in the past few decades (apartheid, tobacco and Sudan) only divestment from apartheid had been politically ef­fective, Earle pointed out, and in some cases divestment had led to unintended consequences.Earle instead encouraged students

to maximize their power as consumers by making highly public pledges to so­cially responsible products, and advo­cated shareholders using proxy voting as a way to change corporate culture and business models. He also stressed the need for change in Washington.Last up was McKibben, whose cli­

mate action organization 350.org has divestment campaigns active in over 200 American colleges and universi­ties. Salem asked McKibben, who founded 350.org with Middlebury stu­dents in 2007, not to focus on the mer­its of divesting from fossil fuels but on the steps he would recommend the col­lege follow when investing.McKibben recommended that the

college pledge not to make any new investments in the 200 worst fossil fuel companies over the course of spring semester and then !5$%/( &)$( %$<&( '9$(years winding down its existing invest­ments in fossil fuels and weapons com­panies. He added that since Middle­bury has a long­term commitment to in­ternational relations, students had asked for divestment from weapons manufac­turers, which could be done on the same terms. It is not realistic to exclude morality

from the conversation about invest­ments, McKibben argued.“Moral considerations are a part of

&)#!(',)&(*%/()*9$(6$$%(1023(&)$(9$07(beginning,” McKibben said. “And one is reminded from David (Salem)’s ex­cellent introduction that this is a thread that runs through this whole conversa­tion. “It’s a good thing to quote Thomas

Jefferson,” McKibben said, referring to Salem’s earlier invocation of Jefferson as a prudent and responsible trustee of

the University of Virginia. “And it’s a really good thing to remember that he was a morally compromised individual in all kinds of ways and that there were colleges that invested in slavery at that time and have spent the last few de­cades apologizing for that work. One understands that slavery and climate change are not the same thing, but one also might guess that 100 years from now, people might look back on our time with some of the same disbelief that people were not taking action against what was a clear and present danger.”McKibben also presented a letter

from billionaire hedge fund manager -23( =&$7$0>( 8)23( "2++$,$( 21'"#*+!(had invited to attend the panel.“I believe a fossil fuel­free portfolio

is a good investment strategy,” Steyer wrote. “Looking to the future, the data on climate change makes it clear that something has changed, and as the rest of the world realizes this, fossil fuel stocks will come under increasing pressure.”‘DO THE MATH’ EVENTSteyer had attended a Sunday night

event in Mead Chapel hosted by McK­ibben’s “Do the Math” campaign but had been unable to attend Tuesday’s event. Several hundred students, fac­ulty and staff attended that event to discuss how the college could begin divesting from companies doing busi­ness in fossil fuels and weapons.

“Sunday’s event was spectacular and laid out the clear case for acting decisively on global warming that (Tuesday’s) panel tried to steer away from,” said sopho­more Teddy Smyth, a leader of the student divestment campaign.Smyth was pleased

with the opportunity to speak with Inves­ture founder Handy at Tuesday’s event. “I am particularly

excited about her agreeing to work with students from Bar­nard, Smith, and Dick­

inson colleges along with a professor at the Monterey Institute to research the practical details of divestment,” he said.Moving forward, students hope to

attend the February meeting of the col­lege’s board of trustees. The college has not scheduled the

next step in the divestment discussion. But President Ronald Liebowitz has said that Tuesday’s panel would not be the last campus forum on divestment issues, and the college community seems eager to keep up the momentum.

The Impossible; Running Time: 1:54; Rating: PG­13 Don’t go lightly to this very good

movie. “The Impossible” tackles the job of conveying the terror of the 2004 tsunami that killed a quarter of a million people along a coastline of 3,000 miles.

Director Juan Antonio Bayona’s extraordinary cast scares us witless with wise, gentle performances. They all understood that in the shadow of the tsunami, even a whiff of melodrama or overstatement could ruin their movie.The ordeal of a single

family becomes an abstract for the whole catastrophe. Because the characters are drawn so quietly in the face of tragedy, the story absorbs us with the tug of universal emotions: maternal compulsion, the instinct to help, paternal protection, primal fear.

the Bennetts as they land in Thailand for a Christmas vacation at a luxury resort. On the day after their Christ­mas celebration, Henry (Ewan Mc­Gregor) and Maria (Naomi Watts)

play happily in the pool with sons Lucas (Tom Holland), Thomas (Samuel Joslin) and Simon (Oaklee Pendergast.) Though we know it’s coming, the roar that starts as a whis­per is even more frightening that we

might have imagined. Maria, badly wounded,

and son Lucas reunite in the treacherous water and from that point forward become partners in emo­tional and physical suffer­ing so delicately rendered that only the most cynical could remain unmoved. Young Tom Holland man­ages to show us the love and respect he feels for his family through the smallest details and ex­pressions. He carries the

After playing many shows all over the re­gion, the band evolved into an iden­tity of its own and took on the name Bread and Bones.

Brussels sprouts. We’ve had kale chips that they beg me for.”Gowen’s efforts to get students

involved in food choices play out in more ways than menu options. The launch of the Green Kitchen Project at Beeman, wherein students help serve food and sort out trash, recy­cling and compost, has been a great success. Students choose to sign up for a week of volunteering in the Beeman lunchroom; it has proven to be a popular option for the com­munity service requirement that stu­dents in the older grades at Beeman !"#$%&'%()*+**,“I’ve been seeing people who

job, people are sign­ing up.”Beeman Student

Services Coordina­tor Julie Olson said the job has gotten a lot less “gross” since students and teachers began learning the proper way to sort garbage.“(The student vol­

unteers) originally did a lot of dumpster diving because they were trying to save things that should be recycled or put into the compost,” Olson said. “Not so much anymore.”Olson credits

Gowen, who began working at Beeman at the start of the 2011­2012 academic year, with amping up the school’s focus on making healthy, de­liberate food choices.“Her charge, and

she’ll tell you this, is making sure that kids can eat … We don’t call her a lunch lady — she is clearly a chef,” Olson said.Gowen’s meals are

made from whole, unprocessed in­gredients. She tends to serve one main dish, two vegetable (a “kid­friendly” one like potato wedges or corn on the cob, paired with a more unusual option like pureed squash or Brussels sprouts), fresh fruit and a dessert. Though standard lunchtime fare like chicken tenders are still on the menu, Gowen makes those options from scratch.“I don’t serve anything I wouldn’t

eat, and I don’t serve anything that I wouldn’t be proud that I made,” Gowen said. “And I have very high food standards so I hope that trans­lates (into the meals).”The food scraps from the Bee­

man lunchroom are given to local chickens, whose owners come by the school to pick up the discarded leftovers. Local growers also do­nate excess crops, and some have

even offered to start planting for the school.The county’s agricultural heritage

is not lost on the students. Another component of Beeman students’ food education is wrestling with the seemingly contradictory facts that there is still hunger in Addison County, though area farmers pro­duce an abundance of healthy pro­duce and dairy products.“It’s so great because (kids) don’t

get it. They’re like, ‘well, there’s the food and there’s the hungry peo­ple…duh, we have to feed the hun­gry people,’” Gowen laughed.That line of thought, combined

with the knowledge that kids gener­ally do not grow up around a strong breakfast culture, inspired Gowen to launch another new food program. Breakfast at Best is a once­a­month community breakfast that will, she

hopes, begin to foster a culture of sitting down and eating a healthy meal instead of eating on the go in the morning.“She knows (some)

kids aren’t eating break­fast,” Olson explained.Of Beeman’s student

population of just over 100, Gowen estimates that only 20 currently come to free breakfast at school. She hopes that Breakfast at Best will en­courage others to come. 7!$% 8$*.$#$-% &!"&% +6-&%meal of the day can make or break a student’s morn­ing learning experience.“I’ve been listening to

Shumlin keep saying how his new priority is educa­tion,” Gowen said. “My priority is also educa­tion, and they can’t learn if they don’t eat. If you want them to learn well, they have to eat well.”Gowen stressed that a

big part of the food cul­ture she is trying to fos­ter at Beeman is an un­derstanding that good, healthy food is always available. If kids are hungry in the middle of lessons, Gowen has a

healthy snack always on hand in the cafeteria. “They know that it’s here, and it’s

something they can rely on.”She hopes community breakfasts

Punderson said the committee was swayed greatly to take this posi­tion by a letter written by its former chairman, Rick Scott of Bridport.In his letter, Scott cited several rea­

sons for allowing district residents to vote on the issue. They include:<% =$"4$6-!.1,% >?-% "% :'0-$@)$0:$%

equity. Scott said an RED would al­low the ACSU to direct its combined resources at such of­ferings as a second­language program. Second­language in­struction is not offered in all ACSU schools, mainly because of a lack of resources. Consequently, some ACSU students are not as prepared as others to take on a second language when it is offered to all students beginning in 8th grade.<% C(+:.$0:A,% >?% -.0/*$% 8)4/$&%

Over the past decade, the Addison Northwest Supervisory Union spent many months holding multiple votes on what was ultimately an ill­fated attempt to bring all its schools under one board. Residents in some towns voiced concerns about how the con­

solidation would affect their property taxes; others were concerned the move might be the +6-&% -&$1% .0% :'98.0.0/%and/or closing some community schools.Similar concerns are

likely to be aired during the ACSU’s consider­ation of an RED.Conley said he un­

derstands the arguments both for and against es­tablishing an RED. He noted that while such a move would reduce bureaucracy and create

And an RED board, Conley said, could be thrust into decisions of whether special pro­grams now offered at but a few mem­ber schools should either be offered district­wide or eliminated, because of the more global budget.ACSU schools, Conley noted, al­

ready share some teachers and servic­es across town lines. Those relation­ships include music and art teachers who work at multiple ACSU schools; shared second­language students in Weybridge and Ripton as well as Middlebury Union Middle School and High School; and shared custo­dians, nursing staff and paraprofes­sionals.The next few months are shaping

up to be very busy ones for the ACSU Study Committee as it navigates the provisions of Act 153 toward a vote on an RED.“My position is to let the study

committee continue its work,” ACSU board Chairman Mark Perrin said. “There is something to be said about following through on a process and bringing it to closure.”

looking over some statutes he be­lieved he could retain some of his planning commission responsibili­ties, though it was unclear if he would be able to serve on the commission full­time. If he is given the go­ahead on keeping those responsibilities, Per­lee said he would likely run for the se­lectboard seat.
