RUTLAND — The Vermont Department of Envi-ronmental Conservation issued an updated Munici-pal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) general per-mit Dec. 5. The department has designated Rutlandtown and city as new MS4s subject to the requirementsof the permit.

Designed to address pollution from stormwaterrunoff, the MS4 permit applies to 13 municipalitiesand three institutional entities.

Communities already subject to the MS4 permit in-clude Burlington, Colchester, Essex, Essex Junction,Milton, Shelburne, South Burlington, Williston andWinooski, as well as the non-municipal entitiesBurlington International Airport, University of Ver-mont and the Vermont Agency of Transportation.

Many streams and rivers in Vermont’s urbanizedareas suffer from polluted runoff from buildings,parking lots, and roads that contains metals, oil andgrease, and nutrients. In addition, this runoff cancause serious erosion with associated damage to fishand wildlife living in and along streams, and impactsto recreational and fishing opportunities.

The MS4 permit requires the affected communitiesto develop stormwater management and flow restora-

tion plans that include controls to reduce the amountof polluted runoff into streams, rivers, ponds andlakes.

The Vermont Department of Environmental Con-servation will assist the City of Rutland and RutlandTown with the development of stormwater manage-ment and flow restoration plans.

The affected communities will be eligible to applyfor zero interest loans to defray the costs of the plan-ning efforts.

For the longer-term, the department is exploringways in which the state can assist communities withthe costs of implementing the stormwater controlsneeded to comply with this permit and will be work-ing with the Legislature to identify funding options inthe coming legislative session.

The MS4 permit requires permit holders to imple-ment the required stormwater control and flowrestoration practices as soon as possible, but no laterthan twenty years from the effective date of the per-mit. “We look forward to working with communitiesto develop schedules customized to the specific needsof a given watershed in order for the plans to succeedin restoring these streams, and to protect downstreamreceiving waters such as Lake Champlain,” saidPadraic Monks, program manager for DEC’sStormwater Management Program.

The Vermont Department of Environmental Con-servation is one of three branches of the VermontAgency of Natural Resources.

The DEC collects and analyzes data, monitors thequality of air, water and ecosystem health, and ischarged with preserving, enhancing, restoring andconserving Vermont’s natural resources, and protect-ing human health for the benefit of current and futuregenerations.

Lt. governor kicks off “State House Challenge”By Lou [email protected]

MIDDLEBURY — Lt. Gov. Phil Scott (R) presented theVermont Disaster Relief Fund with a $1,000 personal dona-tion today as part of the Relief Fund’s “State House Chal-lenge” kickoff event.

The “State House Challenge” is part of a campaign to re-mind Vermonters that many of our neighbors are still suf-fering from the impact of Tropical Storm Irene.

Approximately 500 Vermont families continue to live indamaged homes that present a health and safety risk.

The VDRF estimates that it needs to raise an additional $3million to fully meet the need, Scott said.

The idea behind the “State House Challenge” is to givestate leaders an opportunity to lead the way in this renewedfundraising push.

The campaign challenges legislators, statewide elected of-ficials, lobbyists and the political press corps – all of the“State House stakeholders” -- to contribute to relief effortsand give more visibility to the ongoing need.

Scott’s $1,000 donation is one he pledged to the Fund thispast October, to coincide with a 10-day statewide bicycletour that was part campaign event, part “staycation.” Scottfelt it appropriate not to accept his official salary for that

time that he was away fromhis office, and decided to putthose foregone funds towardVermont’s Irene victims.

“My bike tour gave me anopportunity to see the stateup-close, and at a slowerpace than you can from acar,” Scott said. “One of thebig impressions I had fromthat tour was the number ofhomes still dislodged fromtheir foundations, theamount of debris still inrivers, and so forth, a yearafter Irene. I felt a strongneed to contribute to this on-going effort to make sureevery Vermonter is restoredto pre-Irene security.”

Scott also noted that Ver-monters can continue to purchase “Vermont Strong” licenseplates from the Lieutenant Governor ’s Office.

Helene York, director of purchas-ing strategy for Bon Appétit Managementand director of the Bon Appétit ManagementCompany Foundation, will be a visitingscholar for the College’s M.S. in SustainableFood Systems (MSFS) program.

Bon Appétit Management Company pro-vides café and catering services to corpora-tions, colleges and universities, with over400 locations in 32 states.

“Helene and the Bon Appétit Companyshare many of the same goals and values asGMC,” said the college’s Philip Ackerman-Leist. “She is a strong advocate for combin-ing culinary expertise with a commitment tosocially and environmentally responsiblepurchasing practices. Her background inweaving sophisticated sustainability prac-

tices into the fabric of what is arguably themost progressive food service corporation inthe country will help our students under-stand leverage points for change in the cor-porate sectors of our food system.”

York will attend the Northeast OrganicFarming Association of Vermont WinterConference with GMC undergraduate andgraduate students Feb. 16-17, and she willthen visit the GMC campus Feb. 18-21, theresidency period for 41 students in the MSFSprogram. The four-day residency will in-clude lectures, discussions, informal conver-sations and at least one public presentation.

Farm to Fork program. As director of the BonAppétit Management Company Foundation,she educates chefs and consumers abouthow food choices affect the global environ-ment.

In April 2007, she launched the company’ssuccessful Low Carbon Diet program to raiseawareness of connections between the foodsystem and climate change, and to reduceemissions associated with Bon Appétit’sfood service operations. She was instrumen-tal in shifting corporate purchasing awayfrom threatened fish species toward sustain-ably sourced supplies. She was a foundingboard member of FishChoice.com and is cur-rently a director of Humane Farm AnimalCare. Since 2009 York has been a regular con-tributor to the Atlantic Monthly online.

York recently led Bon Appétit’s commit-ment to ensure that all the company’s pork

From the Editor

Unionizing vs. KidsLumped in among the hot-button is-

sues in the resurgence of the unionmovement in the “rust belt”

state—we include here the Middle Atlanticand New England regions—comes the ideaof unionizing childcare workers. This topicis a hot one at the moment in Vermont,with providers and organizers pairing upor squaring off.

At first glance, the idea of unionizingchildcare providers might seem like the“right” thing to do for the workers, butlike similar concepts, it’s worth examiningthe issue a bit closer.

One local childcare provider who clearlyopposes the idea of unionization is MarthaSullivan DeGraaf. Ms. van DeGraaf is aregistered childcare provider living in Ver-gennes. She doesn’t like the idea of union-izing childcare providers for a variety ofsound reasons.

Unionizing childcare services really fo-cuses on the providers, not the children; itpromises increased pay, increased reim-bursement rates, and professional develop-ment and training.

“Very seldom do we hear discussionabout child development or improved ear-ly education,” according to Ms. van De-Graaf. “As an independent childcareprovider, I am able to set my own rates.”

VanDeGraaf makes a valid point: Usingher local childcare service as an example,she provides fair rates for today’s cash-strapped parents. They think her rates arereasonable while the pay is enough forvanDeGraaf to earn a living.

“With a union,” vanDeGraaf said, “allthese will be added to the costs of doingbusiness. If I were forced to pay dues, oragency fees, I would be forced to impartsome of those fees on my clients. How isincreasing the costs of doing business andhaving to pass along some of those costs

going to benefit the children or families Iserve?”

VanDeGraaf isn’t the only local childcareprovider who opposes the idea of union-ization in her service sector. Unfortunately,other providers like her are reluctant tohave their names appear in print as comingout against unions—we’ve asked to quotethem and they declined unlike vanDe-Graaf.

“I am all for professional developmentand training to better myself as a provider,but there are programs available throughthe state that are not mandated or regulat-ed by a union,” vanDeGraaf said. “Thestate pays for providers to become nation-ally accredited; it pays higher reimburse-ment rates for achieving quality standardsand offers low cost or free workshops,classes and certifications that help me fur-ther the development of children. Thesesame programs offer assistance opportuni-ties to parents to reduce the costs of child-care.”

From what VanDeGraaf has seen else-where, she doesn’t believe unions will al-ways operate in the best interests of her lit-tle charges.

“Education and growth benefits for chil-dren fall by the wayside in union discus-sions,” she said. “I believe a union will cre-ate more regulation and demand on meand consume valuable time that wouldotherwise be spent on the development ofchildren.”

Anytime we hear of teacher strikes at lo-cal schools, it always negatively impactsstudents and their learning environment.So, here’s an opportunity to keep unionsaway from Vermont’s childcare sector.

Besides, politics—which is what unionsseem to be about—have no place in theplaypen.

I come from a long line of worriers.As a youngster and even as anadult I found it difficult to under-

stand why mom would worry about thesmallest of things. When you’re young,life’s an adventure. Each day brings newopportunity. Today it may have rainedbut tomorrow is sure to be sunny andbright. Tomorrow was always a new day,full of opportunity, new events thatwould shape the day and the world.Change was good. Change was exciting.Change was welcomed.

So why is it that as you age, not onlydo things start to sag, hair grows greyand recedes and your concern for thingsboth in your control and beyond, begin toweigh heavy on your mind? Change isnot so good. Change brings turmoil andconfusion. Change is uncomfortable andtriggers resistance.

Mom, and her mom before her, wouldstress out over the big news of the day aswell as the every day tasks. Tested by thegreat depression, two world wars, anevolving cold war, Korean Conflict,Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, assassina-tions, riots in the street and political cor-ruption, they had plenty of big things toworry about.

Looking back their world went fromone major crisis event to another. Despitetheir fears and concerns there was alwaysan optimism that things would turnoutokay. There was a happiness that calmedthe underlining fears. They had faith,they had family, they had a society thatsomehow gave them an inner confidence.

They were told that they had nothingto fear but fear itself. So they went aboutthe tasks of the days building their livesand their future, focused on their jobs,their family and their dependence oneach other.

As I age I find myself more stressedthan in my early years. Not only do Iworry about the big issues of the day, na-tional and international events, but eventhe little things seem to be a greater con-cern than they once did. There are plentyof major issues to fret about as the world

turns andthere is al-ways anynumber oflittle thingsin life tobring aboutheartburnand sleep-less nights.

Is worry-ing about life’s ups and downs hard-wired into my DNA, a hereditary trait, oris it just a function of aging? Or, does itcome about as you begin to realize yourplans for the future don’t always workout given the ebb and flow of an everchanging landscape and with those youshare the world.

A recent survey revealed that a re-silient attitude may be the secret to agingsuccessfully. In fact they believe a posi-tive attitude may be more important toaging than good physical health. So theremay be some truth to the old wives taleof worrying one’s self to death.

So the bottom line is this; Mayan calen-dar predicting the end of the world onDecember 21st of this year; fiscal clifflooming on the horizon; financial strug-gles; personal concerns; what to write innext week’s column…. Hey, bring em on.There is little we can’t overcome if weapproach things with a positive, can doattitude.

If we’ve learned anything through outtime there will always be issues beyondour control and as mere humans we arefallible, destined to trip up. We onlymake things worse for ourselves if wedwell on the negative. We need to be re-sponsible for our actions but we only goaround once so we need to make the mostof what we’ve been given, keep our focuson the future and our optimism high. Lifeis short. Every day is a gift, which is whythey call it the “present.”

Castleton Crackers mergeswith Woodstock cheese makerBy Lou [email protected]

CASTLETON — One of Rut-land County’s most successfulcottage businesses is in the midstof change. Castleton Crackers,owned by Whitney Lamy, ismerging with Vermont Farm-stead Cheese Co. of South Wood-stock.

Lamy made news of the busi-ness merger official at the newVermont Food Center on WestStreet in Rutland Dec. 8.

In 2011, Vermont FarmsteadCheese closed on financing $2.5million of Series A PreferredStock. Proceeds from the stock fi-nancing helped improve and ex-pand its South Woodstock oper-ations. Vermont Farmstead Cheeseproducts are sold in over 160 stores in six states. The firm has earned over a dozen awardsin various national cheese competitions.

“As an artist and baker, I am fascinated by the origins of many of the foods we eat todaywhich led me to look ‘outside the box’,” Lamy has said about her popular crackers. “In theearly 1800s Josiah Bent from Massachusetts decided to make a lighter and thinner versionof Hardtack, a soldiers and seafarers staple. Bent rolled out sheets of dough, baked and hand‘cracked’ them. I have been rolling out crackers this original way in my Castleton,Vt.,kitchen for family and friends for years.”

Lamy graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 1980 and started her career asa newspaper graphic designer.

“From there, I went to running a historic, federal-period mansion that was also a rentalfacility in Salem, Mass., for eight years. My role there was function director. I did every-thing from designing brochures to working with caterers,” she told the UMass Amherstalumni publication in 2010. “In 1992, my husband Philip, who is also a graduate of UMassAmherst, was offered a professorship at Castleton State College, so we moved to Vermont.”

Lamy has always used all-natural ingredients in her crackers. “We mix, roll, bake them and then crack them by hand creating beautiful rustic looking

crackers,” she says on her website. There are no plans to change ingredients or baking procedures. The crackers have no trans

fats, artificial content, or preservatives.Castleton Crackers have been receiving serious praise in recent years. Food critic Florence

Fabricant of the New York Times recently sampled Lamy’s crackers and approved. “The folks in Castleton have nailed the texture perfectly: sturdy enough for spreading

and dipping, but flaky enough for nibbling like potato chips,” Fabricant said.

A special ceremony will be held at the lodge at Pico Moun-tain Dec. 15, at noon. The ceremony will also mark the 75thanniversary season at Pico.

“This is the right place to commemorate our mother'splace in the skiing history at Pico," said Quentin AndreaLawrence, Mead Lawrence’s daughter. “This is where mymother ’s roots began in her skiing career and her love ofmountains. On behalf of the family, we are honored to namethe new state-of-the-art facility after our mother.”

According to Erin Fernandez, “Andrea Mead Lawrencebegan skiing at Pico Mountain at age 14 when she made thenational team. At 15, she competed in the 1948 WinterOlympics, taking eighth in slalom.

MONTPELIER — The Vermont Council on Rural Develop-ment is sharing toolkits and lessons learned from the e-Ver-mont Community Broadband Project. The resources willhelp rural communities in Vermont and throughout the Unit-ed States make better use of online tools for community andeconomic development.

One year from now, all Vermont households and business-es will have access to broadband service.

The majority of Vermont has the infrastructure in place toprovide a connection to high speed Internet.

The access provides rural Vermonters with unprecedent-ed opportunities for everything from business growth tocontinued education to civic engagement and communitycommunications, but only if we know how to make best useof it. E-Vermont’s models for how communities can take ad-vantage of these new opportunities online are now found atwww.e4vt.org.

Over the last two years, thee-Vermont project hasbrought seven partner or-ganizations to 24 communi-ties across the state to helpbuild the skills needed for adigital age. Initiatives haveranged from connecting1,294 Vermont students withone-to-one computingthrough Digital Wish tobuilding online neighbor-hood conversations for over8,500 subscribers in FrontPorch Forum to creating aweb presence for 15 munici-palities with the SnellingCenter for Government.

"I've had the opportunityto work one-on-one advisingmore than 150 business own-ers in the last two years -they're tackling everythingfrom basic establishment ofan online presence in the wayof websites, Google Placespages, e-mail marketing andSocial Media to in-depth e-commerce strategies and mo-bile media development. Inevery corner of Vermontthere are businesses ready tohave a strategy for onlinetools, they just need some as-

sistance getting started," said Pat Ripley from the VermontSmall Business Development Center, "I'm able to help themtie online tools into their fundamental business goals."

Eric Sakai, dean of Academic Technology at the Commu-nity College of Vermont reflects on the Internet Interns pro-gram, a successful partnership launched with the VermontDepartment of Libraries as part of e-Vermont. “We have seenthe enormous mutual benefit of placing trained CCV stu-dents in town libraries in their communities, helping patronsof all ages and backgrounds with essential Internet tasks.”

Interns built assistance around what sparks individuals’interest in learning computer skills, things like findingrecipes popular or opening e-mail accounts to talk with fam-ily. There’s a lot of holiday time activity such as makingplans with relatives or learning to use a new technologypresent. Many people just don't want to feel left behind.

Specific topics include how to create public Internet ac-cess, teach basic Internet skills, start using online tools forbusiness, integrate technology into the classroom, encour-age civic engagement, begin community-wide online con-versations, design beginner-friendly websites, and builddigital archives of local history.

Find the e-Vermont report and community toolkits onlineat www.e4vt.org. For more information, contact e-Vermontproject director Helen Labun Jordan at [email protected] or802-225-6091

Dec. 7 event at TwoBros. TavernBy Lou [email protected]

M I D D L E B U R Y — A d d i s o nCounty is fast becoming Vermont’spremiere centers for the wildlypopular—and growing, by leaps-and-bounds—hard cider sector ofthe adult beverage market. It’seasy to understand, especiallywith several up and comingbrands, made locally, and a solidsource for natural apple product.

This week comes the big news ofanother new hard cider label, madelocally—Champlain Orchards andTwo Brothers Tavern are joininghands to celebrate the official re-lease of Champlain Orchard’sPruner ’s Promise Vermont labelhard cider at the tavern, located on

Main Street at the traffic rotary indowntown in Middlebury, Friday,Dec. 7, starting at 9 p.m.

The Two brothers kick-off eventwill be fun with a hard-cider kickor two thrown in for good measure.

According to Champlain Or-chards’ Julianna White, Pruner'sPromise is made at the Shorehamorchard “with a blend of fresh-pressed local McIntosh and Empirecider and naturally concentratedHoneycrisp apple cider.”

White added that Pruner ’sPromise hard cider is the orchard’sfollow-up to its popular, but slight-ly drier Pruner's Pride. Pruner ’sPride has received a lot of buzz—ifyou pardon the pun—on severalcider blog sites. If Promise’s prom-ises lives up to Pride’s pinache, thenew hard cider should have allgood pilgrims hankering for more.

If you visit Two Brothers for the

product opening, you’ll enjoy sam-pling Pruner ’s Promise. Holmes atTwo Brothers Tavern said he willbe offering a special on bottles pur-chased at the bar. You will also beable to meet Champlain cider-mak-er Robert Leeds and sales managerJen Abbey. You can ask questionsand learn more about this growingadult beverage field.

If you miss the Two Brothersevent on Dec. 7, look for Pruner'sPromise at Vermont restaurantsand specialty stores starting theweek of Dec. 9.
