SUMMARY:Community Line Dancing: November Pop-Up!

Excited to announce our next pop-up will be at the Waitsfield Village Meeting House! (1st floor of Waitsfield UCC\, 4355 Main St) \nPre-registration online preferred (through my website)\, or pay at the door:\nPay what you can at multiple price points (from $11)\, trying to make this financially accessible to everyone! \nHere’s what to expect & bring:\nAttire:\n+ comfy shoes for dancing (boots are fun but not required)\n+ layers—not sure what the temp will be like that day\, but it’s always good to have the ability to thermoregulate in the moment! \nLessons:\n+~ 1 hr reviewing/teaching different line dances at multiple entry levels—see tutorial videos on my website to review “Muddy Muddy” and “Wagon Wheel” from October’s pop-up\n+ After lessons I’ll play music and folks will get a chance to practice the dances we learned at different tempos .\n+ Feel free to bring snacks and NON ALCOHOLIC beverages (house rules for the Meeting House). I’ll provide some light snacks and water. \nHope to see you there! \n** No\, seriously. check out this meta-analysis of dance as a mental health intervention: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17432979.2024.2377389#abstract

SUMMARY:Socrates Cafe open to the  public – Discussion Question: How do we “live now” while still respecting the past?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next Community Socrates Café\nJanuary 9th from 5:00 to 6:30 PM\nDiscussion Question: How do we “live now” while still respecting the past? \nStudents from Harwood’s Harkness Leadership class will be hosting a community Socrates Café on Thursday\, January 9th from 5:00 to 6:30 PM in the HU library. A Socrates Café is an opportunity for dialogue about timeless and timely questions that all human beings deal with. Rather than being a debate or a discussion\, a Socrates Café is a dialogue where participants are encouraged to listen to and learn from one another. \nThis form of discourse- and its focus on the search for knowledge- comes from the great philosopher Socrates\, who observed that “Wisdom Begins in Wonder.” These gatherings are open to all community members\, regardless of age\, experience\, or background. Harwood students who are experienced in leading Socratic Dialogues will facilitate the discussions. \nCommunity members of all ages are invited\, and refreshments will be provided. For questions and more information\, please contact Adam Sargent at asargent@huusd.org.

Some of the key takeaways from the first open house included:\n• Attendees were both excited and concerned about the future of Irasville. The recent loss of businesses and community services Irasville was top of mind for many participants. At the same time\, many expressed that Irasville holds great potential as a vibrant village center for Waitsfield and the Mad River Valley.\n• Attendees were supportive of an infill development approach for future redevelopment in Irasville\, with a focus on housing\, local-serving businesses\, and mixed-use development.\n• Attendees were supportive of a balanced approach to wetlands in Irasville that preserves critical wetland functions while considering possible impacts to low-functioning wetlands if those impacts result in significant community benefit.\n• Attendees were supportive of exploring potential transportation infrastructure improvements to enhance and facilitate walkable development in Irasville\, such as improved pedestrian connections and possible new roadways to create village blocks.\n• Attendees want this planning process to explore enhanced recreational and community facilities\, such as a year-round recreation or community center and community gathering spaces.\n• Attendees were supportive of exploring a mix of building heights for future development\, with a minimum building height of two stories. \nIrasville is where the Mad River Valley comes to shop\, dine\, gather\, and play. This village area has long been envisioned as a vibrant community hub\, with a thoughtful mix of homes\, local businesses\, services\, and recreational amenities. For years this vision has been held in check\, challenged by insufficient infrastructure\, natural resource constraints\, and a lack of planning progress. Thanks to sustained efforts by local and regional partners\, the time is ripe to reestablish an actionable\, pragmatic\, and forward-looking vision and roadmap for Irasville. \nFor more information\, please visit the Town’s website. \nContact: JB Weir\, Planning & Zoning Administrator | pza@gmavt.net | (802) 496-2218 ext. 4

SUMMARY:Coexisting with Bears: Being Responsible Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:Spring is upon us and the return of warm weather also means the return of our black bears! Emerging from hibernation and hungry for calories\, our bears find trash cans\, bird feeders\, and compost piles to be easy meals. They mean no harm\, but this behavior leads them to losing their wariness of people and can result in damage to property\, cars\, and homes. \nPlease join the Mad River Valley Bear Initiative for a presentation on this topic from Sarah Crockett\, educator and advocate for human/bear coexistence. The presentation will cover black bear ecology\, common causes of conflict between bears and our community\, and practical ways we can change our behaviors to reduce conflict. Expect to walk away with a greater appreciation for bears and useful strategies for keeping food and attractants away from them\, ensuring we can keep our bears wild for years to come. \nThe presentation will take place in the Mini-Bear Room in The Schoolhouse at Sugarbush’s Lincoln Peak (84 Warren Dr\, Warren\, VT). \nAbout the presenter: Sarah Crockett\, M.D.\, is an emergency department physician with Dartmouth Health\, specializing in wilderness medicine. Her passion for the outdoors and wilderness medicine as well as mentorship from Ben Kilham of the Kilham Bear Center has led to her interest and involvement in providing community education on black bear coexistence. \nAbout MRVBI: The Mad River Valley Bear Initiative is a local volunteer group that raises awareness about the bears that live around us in this community. We are made up of folks from the five towns in our watershed: Warren\, Waitsfield\, Fayston\, Duxbury\, and Moretown. Learn more about our work and find resources for living alongside black bears at https://MRVBears.org.

SUMMARY:Dam It: Partnering with Beavers to Heal the Planet
DESCRIPTION:Join Friends of the Mad River for the next installment of our Climate & Ecology Expert Series as we welcome author and environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb for his presentation “Dam It: Partnering with Beavers to Heal the Planet”. Register for this virtual event at https://tinyurl.com/fmrbeaver. \nIn his book “Eager: The Surprising\, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter”\, Ben Goldfarb reveals that our modern conception of a healthy ecosystem is wrong\, distorted by the fur trade that once eliminated millions of beavers from North America’s waterways. The consequences of losing beavers were profound: ponds drained\, wetlands dried up\, and species from salmon to swans lost vital habitat. Today\, a growing coalition of “Beaver Believers”—including scientists\, farmers\, and passionate citizens—recognizes that ecosystems with beavers are far healthier than those without them. From the Nevada deserts to the Scottish highlands\, Believers are hard at work restoring these industrious rodents to their former haunts. In his talk\, Ben will discuss the history and biology of this world-changing species; how beavers can help us fight drought\, flooding\, wildfire\, and climate change; and how we can coexist with this challenging but vital rodent. \nAbout the speaker: Ben Goldfarb is an environmental journalist whose work has appeared in National Geographic\, the Atlantic\, Smithsonian Magazine\, and many other publications\, and has twice been anthologized in the “Best American Science & Nature Writing”. His most recent book\, “Crossings: How Road Ecology Is Shaping the Future of Our Planet”\, was named one of the best books of 2023 by the New York Times\, and received the Rachel Carson Award for Excellence in Environmental Writing and the Banff Book Competition’s Grand Prize. His previous book\, “Eager: The Surprising\, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter”\, won the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. He lives in Colorado with his wife\, Elise\, and his dog\, Kit — which is\, of course\, what you call a baby beaver.
