Vergennes FFA team compete in region, nation Vergennes FFA represented Vermont at the regional competition at Springfield, Mass. and at the national level at the 8National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. The convention included a career and college fair. This year, Indianapolis was overwhelmed by a sea of blue corduroy jackets with over 54,000 people in attendance. Vergennes FFA represented Vermont for the first time in several years in the parliamentary procedure competition sponsored by the Mosaic Company. Team members had to be familiar with Robert’s Rules of Order, and they had to carry out a mock meeting based on a topic given by the judges while following Robert’s Rules. Team members were Arie Smits, Garth Buck, Erika Evarts, Gary Grant, Peter McDurfee and Sam Marszalkowski. The team, coached by advisor Bill Van De Weert, represented Vermont well by earning the bronze level nationally against very tough competition. The Agricultural Mechanics team,

Conclusion Editor’s Note: Two Vermont women mystery writers are researching an unsolved 1935 triple murder in east Middlebury, Vt., as part of their effort to write a realistic novel about the tragedy. During their interview session with the late Robert Fenn of East Middlebury, writers Roxanna Emilo and Kathy Brande of Bristol, both women helped him search for a piece of cloth evidence removed from the crime scene and stored in his East Middlebury house; the fragment of awning canvas was never found. Fenn died a few years later. The cloth fragment, as well as the elderly Vermonter ’s recollections about the incident, went to the grave with him. Big news, small town Vermont in the first half of the 20th century was a world away from Vermont in the first half of the 21st century. Violent crime may be old hat in today’s 24-hour news cycle, but in 1935 news of the triple murder sent shockwaves throughout Addison County and beyond. According to news accounts, the state pathologist, Dr. C. F. Whitney, drove down from Burlington to examine the

Part 6: A group of dedicated researchers are searching the north woods of Vermont and New York for a strange creature long thought to be extinct—known in folklore as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. In the North Country of New York, New England and Quebec, the creature is known by its regional Indian name, correctly spelled Wejuk (wee-juck). Bigfoot or Wejuk sightings are the focus of the Northern Sasquatch Research Society based in Hudson Falls, N.Y. Its members include Frank Siecienski of Hubbardton, Brian Gosselin of Whitehall, Cliff South of South Glens Falls, and John Pearson and Bill Brann of Glens Falls. Former Whitehall police officer Brian Gosselin was an eyewitness to a now famous August 1976 Wejuk incident on Abair Road in Hampton, N.Y., near the Vermont state line, across from Fair JEWETT’S Haven.

shouldn’t be there and things said that were never said. L.V.: You didn’t see galley proofs of your own book? Brann: Four of us wrote the book and we never did. These are things that happen. That’s why we’re sitting down with you to discuss these things. We’ve been down this road too many times to get the truth out. Fifty years from now, historians will get it wrong because the contemporary accounts are wrong. It’s important to get it right. Gosselin: It’s ironic how things have gotten distorted. Some people have become experts on the Abair Road incident who weren’t even there—I was there. I know how it happened. L.V.: So we come down to it. What is this thing we’re talking about? Your group is very sober. You approach this scientifically. Any ideas? Is this an ape man? An extinct Gigantopithecus? What? Brann: There’s a question mark about what this really was and is. There’s no body, no proof, so you have to be careful what you label it. You can create a false image. Here’s an example of what can happen: in late August the Northern Sasquatch Research Society was called to investigate an incident at a youth soccer training camp on Goodman Road in Fort Ann, N.Y. We went out there to investigate. The place was deserted. Then a man appeared and told us that it was all an innocent mistake. Apparently, one of the coaches dressed up in a gorilla costume to entertain the kids around the campfire. They knew this to be true. But one of the teens found a cell phone and called 911—as a gag. The local sheriff arrived and he investigated. Well, it certainly was not a hoax or a real Sasquatch sighting. But local people had heard the term “ape man” reported on their police scanners at home. So NSRS got the call to investigate. It turned out to be nothing. That’s we are very careful. Next week: NSRS members discuss Wejuk sightings in Vermont. To be continued. Check It Out: If you’ve seen Bigfoot or Wejuk in your area, have something unusual to report, or are simply interested in learning more about Wejuk research in Vermont and New York, contact Bill Brann of NSRS at northernbigfoot@yahoo.com or call 518-747-9134. All sighting information is kept strictly confidential.

mous sighting of a creature, by former police officer Brian Gosselin and others, in August 1976 in the Whitehall, N.Y. area. Bill Brann and Brian Gosselin of NSRS continue our discussion. L.V.: Many of the accounts of the August 1976 Wejuk sighting near the New York-Vermont state line, even those recreated in recent television documentaries, don’t seem to jive with what Brian Gosselin told us. Why is that? Brann: When the 1976 story was first reported it was full of holes—it was wrong. The reporters seemed to either ad lib or just didn’t take the time to investigate the story. So, they had Brian being on-duty as a policeman—he was off duty at the time. A popular book appeared, titled “The Bigfoot Casebook”, and the authors took the original news articles and never did any investigation on their own. So who knows how many people reading the book are thinking it happened another way, the wrong way. This is why it’s good to have Brian here with us to describe what he saw to your newspaper—you get a good, clean version; not a copy. Gosselin: The event is very fresh in my memory, but I get tired of retelling it. I’ve thought of writing my own book about it but this person, or that person, have had their fingers in it. I’ve thought of just writing an article about the incident. But what really upset me was that a certain television network—Outdoor Life Network— produced a documentary movie about it and distorted it all out of whack. Yes, I was consulted by the film crew, but then I signed a contract without reading it. I could have been getting royalties. The movie wasn’t so much about Sasquatch as about making an author, Autumn Williams, look good. The film crew was actually afraid to shoot the film on location an dby the Poultney River. They shot it near Whitehall on land that didn’t resemble the authentic site. They even had me as an on-duty policeman—I was off duty. It was supposed to be a documentary not a dramatic film. Brann: When it comes to Sasquatch, there are always problems. It’s always about the individuals and how they want to interpret things. For example, I co-wrote a book entitled “Monsters of the North Woods” but I didn’t edit it. There are things in the book that

Peace train take this country The Brandon-Forest Dale Lions Club may not look like peacemakers, but in its own way it’s making a small contribution to world peace and international cooperation. In an effort to inspire young people in our area to “think peace”, the club sponsored a recent peace poster contest at the Neshobe Elementary School in Brandon. Lions Club members announced that Neshobe student Tyler Johnson is the winner of the 2011 Lions CLub Peace Poster Contest. The sixth-grade class at Neshobe Elementary School took on the challenge to create a series of peace posters as a means to participate in the contest; several members of the Brandon-Forest Dale Lions Club judged the posters and chose seven finalists among the entries. The entire membership of the Lions Club then chose the top three winners from those seven finalists. The poster entries were judged based on originality, creativity, and how well the entry conveyed this year ’s theme —o“Visions of Peace.” In addition to winning $25 from the Lions Club, winner Tyler Johnson’s wining entry will be submitted as an entry in the Lions’ Vermont District level of competition. From there, the winner goes on to Lions Club national level, and finally, the Lions International level with a variety of prizes at each level. Neshobe student Chloe Speyers was the second place winner and received $15 for her creative poster entry. Maria Wiles finished third and took home $10 for her poster entry. Members of the Brandon-

Heart healthy 50s

bout when I was right at age 40, I over heard a lady I respect saying that her 40s had been very productive. I took her words to heart and went ahead and tried having a very productive fourth decade. Grading myself, I’d jot a B+ for living a productive 40s. No, A- actually, yup, dang productive 40s I had. The only thing I’d say I lacked for was in working to create intimacy with a mate, which has never been a priority—yet even so, that’s why the minus. In five days I crown 50 and tilt over on to begin my 51st year. A year late, but today I asked a feller I know casually from the gym what advise he’d give a feller who is freshly part of the 50year-old club. I assumed he was nearing, if not already 60. He turned and said he was 61, in such a way as to assure me he was qualified to share his opinion. “Well,” he said smiling, “just keep doing things that are the right things to be doing.” Hoping he had the goods to be a bit more specific, I urged him on. “In terms of?” “Taking care of yourself. Keep doing it, to a greater degree, every day, without fail. Exercise, eat the right things, and rest,” he said, his smile still broad. I was hoping his suggestions might be a bit more cosmic, deep, esoteric, much further reaching; instead his advise was basic, based solely on physical health; and in so being, he was preaching to the choir. I can do basic physical health. But of course he’d think I was itching for a health answer, we were in a gym after all. Should I have expected him to promote rules of finance or morality as we sat lacing our sneaks? Course not. And besides, at 50 (as it is anytime, but most don’t realize it till we’re about 50), life is simply about survival; and if we realize we’re lucky to reach 50, and we hope to get to be more than 50, we better ratchet up our self care program because at 50, there’s no more clay being added to the sculpture, all the clay at 50 is being chipped away. From 50 on, protecting your atrophying body of clay demands heightened commitment, rooted through daily attention – and if you think fulfilling what the last sentence suggests is a handful, you’re right. The things we need to do that are necessary to our survival haven’t changed since cave people days. Eat, rest, and go to the bathroom. Whatever else you want to include is extra stuff, some of it interesting (see intimacy) but all of it not necessary. For instance; What would happen if there was no more sports coverage of any kind. No T.V., print, radio or Internet offerings of banal sports events from which so many use to pass life’s precious hours? No more “Sunday Night Football”, no World Series or local school sports, no more biannual Olympics. What would happen if sports as business stopped dead? Nothing. We’d go along fine. But mister, get a good solid dose of heart disease and you’re effed. Keep your heart healthy. Turn off the chatterbox. So here I am—50s—ready and willing to ramp up all things that will help preserve the me that was productive in my forties, was finding my way in my thirties, was still believing in Santa in my 20, was randy to an overwhelmingly painful degree in my teens, and was totally dependent on my folks in my single digits. Here I am in my 50s. Watch your ass. I’m gonna buss you up.

The Great Wall of Galaxies T

he year 1989 will be remembered for a number of memorable events:

Student protesters in Peking’s Tiananmen Square were massacred by the Chinese government, a terrifying 6.9 California earthquake cancelled the third game of the 1989 “Battle of the Bay” World Series between the Giants and the As, gargantuan Hurricane Hugo slammed into the southeastern coast of the USA resulting in 100,000 homeless Americans, and NASA’s Voyager spacecraft revealed dramatic upclose views of the outer planets. But one 1989 event, that had a profound impact on our understanding of the cosmos, received very little news coverage at the time; it was the chance discovery of the largest known structure in the universe, a cosmic superstructure known as the Great Wall of Galaxies. This wall or sheet of stellar matter in deep space is located 200-300 million light years from Earth. American astronomers M.J. Geller and J.P. Huchra co-discovered the now famous Great Wall in 1989 while mining astronomical data collected earlier in the 1980s; they did it as part of their final work on Harvard University’s long-running CfA Redshift Survey. The goal of the Harvard redshift survey, which started in 1977 and ended in the 1982, was to measure the speeds, or redshifts, of distance galaxies flying away from our perspective here on Earth. The astronomers’ chance discovery of a superstructure or vast wall of galaxies still reverberates into 21st century astronomy. The Great Wall, like a vast galactic quilt, measures 500 million light years long by 200 light years wide and 15 million years ‘thick’. The human mind boggles at such a scale. “…Astronomers have been haunted by a sense that the universe is controlled by forces they don't understand. And now comes a striking confirmation: The Great Wall," said Geller after the discovery. The Great Wall has frustrated astronomers ever since 1989 because it is an anomaly. It also contrasts with vast intergalactic voids, so-called space deserts, such as the ‘Desert of Bootes’. Several clumps (walls or sheets) and voids (deserts nearly devoid of stellar objects) were also discovered by Harvard redshift survey teams. Here’s the rub: According to Big Bang science, the universe should be homogeneous—that is, it should be smooth with an

even or uniform distribution of galaxies. But the discovery of superstructures like the the Great Wall and voids presents astronomers with an inhomogeneous universe that doesn’t quite fit the whiteboard math model. “Great Walls are definitely By Lou Varricchio anomalous,” J.P. Huchra, remarked. "My view is that there is something fundamentally wrong in our approach to understanding such large-scale structures–some key piece of the puzzle that we're missing." According to the latest thinking regarding the evolution of the universe, superstructures or clumps of galaxies form along spider-like webs of invisible dark matter. It is believed that dark matter (technically known as non-baryonic matter not comprised of baryon particles like normal matter) determines the structure of the universe. Dark matter gravitationally attracts normal or baryonic matter to it; this creates the clumping of galaxies we see—think ‘clumping’ clay cat litter and you’ll get the picture of cosmic clumps and voids. Normal or baryonic matter—the stuff you and I are made of— clumps along dark matter lines to form galaxies which then clump together more to form superstructures such as the Great Wall.

Look very low in the southwest 20-30 minutes after local sunset time. Mars is close to 2 degrees to Mercury's upper right.

Rutland’s Forest Park on the Fed’s dole

nlike the highly skilled linguist whose neologism for abrupt employment termination—de-fenestration— drew on both vivid imagery and Romance language roots, my feeble imitation—deporching—carries neither the grace nor the history of the word invented to describe Harvard’s ejection of its then President Lawrence Summer. Summer was tossed (actually, pressured to jump) for the politically incorrect crime of reciting facts involving undergraduate gender preferences in academic departmental enrollment. My crude invention of deporching (in the gerundive form of the verb) strives, instead, to call up the popular wisdom regarding small dogs which are well advised to stay on the porch so as to avoid dis-advantageous in-the-street involvement with larger members of their own species. The underlying occasion for this verbal invention is the news from Rutland of the addition of Forest Park to the ever-lengthening list of federally subsidized housing projects which enjoyed only a brief life of tenant occupancy between construction and demolition. As federal housing projects go, the 75-unit Forest Park is (soonto-be-was, it’s half gone as I write) indeed a little dog. Now it’s joining the company of some rather large dogs like Cabrini Green in Chicago and Pruitt-Igoe in St. Louis, on the long street-offailed-and-vanished-public-housing dreams. The former, sited in a condemned and bulldozed lower-middle-class Lake-Michigan-frontage neighborhood of privatelyowned housing once known as Little Sicily, contained some 5,000 units housing some 15,000 people. As the Wikipedia description notes: “It is surrounded by wealthy neighborhoods, notably the Gold Coast and Lincoln Park, just blocks away”. The Wikipedia description doesn’t note that these are free market, unsubsidized tower-apartment areas, with mid- and high-rise buildings of the basic design types now deemed architecturally inadequate for non-free-market subsidyrecipients, but it does note that the overall neighborhood Median Income is just over $67,000. The C-G project was completed in 1958, demolished in the 1995-2002 time-block, replaced with lower-density, low-rise garden apartments. The latter, with similar inner-city location but without water frontage, was sited in a lower-north-side former slum neighborhood; on 57 acres, it contained 33 11-story buildings with a total apartment capacity of 2,870 units. It was designed by iconic architect Minoru Yamasaki, who would later win the commission for the two Trade Center buildings in New York City’s lower Manhattan. P-I was completed in 1955 and demolished in the 1972-1976 time-block. Its cost-per-square-foot was 60 percent above the average for such Federal construction at the time. The two designs failed for different reasons: outside forces for WTC, inside forces for P-I. When I was a draftsman-designer on public housing, our orders at first (later reversed for “sensitivity” reasons) were to tenant-proof the buildings, to armor the structures against the users. So we could, but we couldn’t, architecturally, defend the users from each other. The P-I site now hosts a number of public schools; adjacent blocks have been cleared and rebuilt with low-rise public housing. Little Forest Park was built in the early ‘70s, a Vermont Housing Finance Agency press release says, describing its demolition and rebuild as a so-called restoration. A curious choice of noun: not since the “restoration” of the old Pavilion Hotel next to the state house in Montpelier, which turned out (surprise) to be a complete teardown and (quite accurate exterior appearance) rebuild some 40 years ago, has the word “restoration” been so offi-

cially misused. Now that little-dog Forest Park is on the ethereal street running with such vanished big dogs as C-G and P-I (and many others, large and small) a bemused observer might well ask why private housing can survive and serve for generations and even centuries, while public housing can’t. The official answer he’ll get is “design error”. That’s the answer I received at a public housing design conference in the ‘80s, when I asked why the ordinary high-rise apartment designs (think Lake Shore Drive in Chicago for private-sector middle- and upper-income; or Stuyvesant Town and Parkchester in NYC for private-sector low-income) were workable for unsubsidized tenants but apparently not workable for subsidized ones. The speaker categorized my query as “snarky”, a then-new word that’s in the dictionary now as “argumentative” but it wasn’t even officially recognized, then. I received no further answer. The government-approved new design solution, I then learned, was campus-style low-rise, garden apartment or townhouse configuration. Just like Forest Park, except that it too is now undergoing the new definition of “restoration” after a less-than-40year lifespan. A real answer, I’d opine, is that my profession still doesn’t know how to design for low-income occupancy. The design innovations built into C-G and P-I (insufficient column-inches for description here) didn’t work; the high-rise apartments-ona-treed-campus design didn’t work, and the new two-floor garden apartment design doesn’t work (see the many slum-like or vacated-not-yet-“restored” Baltimore examples as evidence) either, so the design solution remains elusive to us. A med school anecdote illustrates. Suited, pointy-shoed cardiologist, little black bag in hand, stands with overalled booted mechanic, rocker-arm-gauge in hand, looking down into M.D. license-plated Mercedes with hood up. Cardiologist: “Can you cure it?” Mechanic: ”You have to recognize that there’s a lot we don’t yet fully understand about valve-lifters.” Finally, here’s the official your-tax-dollars-at-work outline for the new “restored” Forest Park. It will have 75 garden apartment mostly two-story units once again but this time with “mixed-use” occupancy, some tenants paying full freight and others not. The budget for the first 33 units is $8 million. With, I’d guess, a once-typical average 850 square foot size for two-bedroom units (less for one-bedroom, more for three) the total SF number will be 28,050. In dollars, it works out to $285/SF. That’s $242,250 per average dwelling unit, about ten percent over Vermont’s median single-family house price. Or maybe 850 SF is now deemed inadequate (as high-rise apartments were) for the contemporary public sector subsidized two-bedroom apartment, so that it will be larger and although the per-unit cost will be higher, the per-SF cost will be lower?

Students race on Otter Creek This month, 70 students from Addison and Chittenden counties rowed in the second annual Otter Creek Challenge, a 2.5-mile-long rowing race sponsored by Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s Champlain Longboats program. Eleven crews rowed in two heats, starting at the Vergennes Basin, rowing one and a half miles downstream, turning around a race marker and pulling hard upstream against a rain-swollen current, finishing with a dramatic 180 degree turn in front of the raging Vergennes Falls. Participating schools included Middlebury High School, Vergennes Middle and High School, Champlain Valley Union High School, Mt.

MVAA launches capital campaign The Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association, better known as MVAA, is celebrating its’ 40th birthday this month. On Nov. 20, 1970, a small group of local residents pooled their efforts and began an ambulance service soon to be called MVAA. Forty years later, MVAA has grown into a professional service that is staffed by trained paramedics and transfer specialists, as well as many highly skilled and dedicated volunteers. The ambulance vehicle has also gone through a series of transformations from the first MVAA “rig”, being a donated “retired funeral hearse” all the way to today’s fleet consisting of three advanced life support vehicles, a heavy rescue unit, a paramedic response SUV and a mass casualty trailer. Presently, MVAA services ten towns within a 370 square mile radius. The towns are: Bridport, Cornwall, Middlebury, New Haven, Orwell, Ripton, Salisbury, Shoreham, Weybridge, and Whiting. MVAA’s highly trained crews respond to over 1700 calls per year and are “on call” 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Several years ago, MVAA outgrew its former retrofitted facility on Elm Street in Middlebury and began to explore the feasibility of building a new facility in order to address their expanding needs as well as preparing for future use.

After extensive work, design plans were accepted and MVAA negotiated with Middlebury College over leasing a section of land adjacent to Porter Hospital. The MVAA Board of Directors decided to break ground in November of 2009 and begin construction during last winter. By beginning the project then, MVAA saved $ 400,000 in building costs due to the economic downturn and slow economy. In addition to the cost savings, Bread Loaf Inc., the contractor, was able to offer its employees and sub-contractors employment over the winter. While it seemed unusual to many residents that MVAA was building before a Capital Campaign was in place, the cost savings were too enormous to ignore. The new facility opened in September and MVAA is in its new home. In order to pay for the new facility, MVAA launched a capital campaign with the goal of raising $ 1 million. Mickey and Carol Heinecken graciously accepted the role of chairpersons and are leading the campaign with great vigor and determination. As of this date, the MVAA Capital Campaign has raised over $ 570,000 in pledges to be paid over the next five years. Additionally, Middlebury College has made a challenge pledge that for every $ 150,000 that MVAA raises, it will pay

$50,000 up to $250,000 over the next five years. According to Kevin D. Parizo, president of the MVAA Board of Directors, “We’re asking residents to please take a few minutes and reflect on how MVAA has perhaps been there during your time of emergency need or how MVAA’s involvement within your community has alleviated much anxiety during emergencies. “ Parizo noted that due to Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements being reduced by Congress, more and more individuals are uninsured, as well as escalating costs for equipment and training. “MVAA is facing financial challenges and needs your financial help.” he said. “Letters are going out to the citizens of the various ten communities asking for their financial assistance in this capital campaign. We hope they’ll consider making a tax-deductible donation to MVAA. Your donation can be mailed to MVAA at 55 Collins Dr,, Middlebury, Vt. 05753.” Parizo said that MVAA has served Addison County for 40 years. “It is the goal of every member of MVAA to provide you with the best patient care that is possible now and in the future,” he said. “You need MVAA and MVAA needs you.”

More bad money news for Vermont According to the latest edition of an annual study by the American Legislative Exchange Council, Vermont’s economic outlook ranks 49th out of the 50 states. As states face their toughest budgetary climates in a generation, the third edition of Rich States, Poor States: ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index offers a clear cut roadmap to prosperity. “We cannot spend, borrow, or tax our way into prosperity,” said Sen. Kevin Mullin, ALEC’s Vermont State Chairman. “State government must learn to live within its means, as we continually look for ways to make our great state more competitive and cultivate a business climate that will produce jobs.” Vermont’s anti-growth policies have taken their toll on the state's economic vitality. High income taxes, poor labor policies, soaring workers’ compensation costs, and the nation’s highest property taxes all contributed to the state’s dismal economic outlook. Among bordering states, New Hampshire ranks 30th, Massachusetts ranks 32nd, and New York ranked dead last nationally. Co-author and renowned economist Dr. Arthur B. Laffer summarized the report’s findings when he said, “Tax and economic policies are essential to the competitiveness of our states.” Rich States, Poor States presents state economic outlook rankings based on public policies that have a proven impact on growth, revealing which states have the best chance of experiencing economic recovery, and which need to re-examine their policies before they can expect to see improvement. Laffer and his co-authors, Stephen Moore, senior economics writer at the Wall Street Journal, and Jonathan Williams, director of ALEC’s Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force, analyzed how economic competitiveness drives income, population, and job growth in the states. “Our research shows that states with responsible spending and competitive tax rates enjoy the best economic outlook,” Williams said. “States do not enact changes in a vacuum – every time they increase the cost of doing business in their state, their state brand immediately loses value.” TOP FIVE STATES BOTTOM FIVE STATES 1.

The Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op of Middlebury, collaborating with Bourdeau & Bushy agri-products, is among five companies that have been awarded contracts by the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund to participate in a market-building initiative for the research and development of bulk biomass fuel pellet delivery systems. These projects focus on the development of improved methods and practices for the handling, delivery, storage and use of bulk biomass (wood) fuel pellets. The projects will demonstrate bulk pellet services and equipment for residential, commercial and institutional applications. Final reports from these projects will generate valuable information and experience that will help to prepare Vermont energy suppliers and their customers for the emerging biomass heating market, which industry trade groups estimate will make up 25 percent of northeast regional heating fuels by 2025. In addition to the Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op, the other Vermont businesses participating in this project, which will last the duration of the 2010-2011 heating season, are Bourne’s Energy of Morrisville, Energy Co-op of Vermont, Burlington (collaborating with Pellergy Systems & BBAF of Vermont), SunWood Biomass of Waitsfield and Vermont Wood Pellet Company, LLC of North Clarendon.

Award From page 1 Eight of the uniforms of Orwell soldiers (ranging from the Civil War era to the Global War on Terror) were mounted on a mobile display and included in the 2010 Memorial Day Parade. The reaction from the parade goers was awesome, as they fully appreciated the message of honoring nearly two centuries of fine local heroes. The Orwell Historical Society Museum is currently busy at work creating not only the new 2011 spring exhibit, but also exploring updated presentations of the entire museum collection as part of a major in-house face lift and makeover. The museum plans to be open every Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m, and by appointment.

skeletons. A few hours after Dague and her daughter found the remains, the bones were moved indoors by order of Middlebury Selectman George Chaffee. No doubt much evidence was destroyed in the process. Newspapers reported that “news hawks” flocked to Middlebury including reporters from Boston, Albany and New York City. Reporters asked questions but they didn’t get much in the way of definitive answers. “There was a lot of bootlegging going on around Middlebury back in those days,” Emilo said. “Today’s Route 116, the East-Middlebury to Bristol Road, was on the main line of rumrunners during Prohibition. At the time, State’s Attorney John T. Conley suggested that bootlegging hijackers may have been involved.” Both Emilo and Brande believe the bootlegging theory is plausible. Maybe the three victims saw something they should not have seen and were killed as a result, they suggested. But who really knows? What might have helped law enforcement solve the crime turned out to be one of the more frustrating aspects of the triple-murder investigation—the victims’ dental records. “The older of the two young victims, a 14 year old, had several thousand dollars in unfinished dental work,” Emilo said. “This included a gold brace. This was a sign that the victim’s family had money and could afford such costly dental work during the Great Depression.” Hundreds of dentists and orthodontists looked at the dental work in the weeks following the discovery of the three skeletons. In June 1935, an Elizabeth, N.J. dentist reported that he believed he recognized the work as having been done for a child of a New York stock broker. The broker was said to have reported a wife and two children missing, however, it is believed the broker was never a serious suspect; his family members were later located alive and well. Police investigated other missing persons, but no hard evidence was forthcoming. Evidence of a pillow was also found with the canvas awning and the human remains, so some authorities went as far as to speculate that the vicitims were shot in bed, possibly asleep and then dumped along the road. But even this theory didn’t seem to produce any leads. In June 1935, VSP Detective Franzoni reported that orthodontist Dr. Charles A. Spahn believed that at least one of the victims—probably the 14-year-old girl—was of Jewish descent. This, according to Spahn, was based on tooth structure and the shape of the mouth. (While a controversial idea, some researchers believe teeth can sometimes indicate ethnic background.) Spahn also told police that the gold used in the bracework was similar to a block of metal he possessed. Also, it was discovered that the brace work was of a style developed by a Los Angeles dentist. A list of dentists that employed the method was investigated but nothing turned up. Even the maker of the victims’ dental materials, S.S. White Co. of Philadelphia, Pa., was contacted for help. Again, nothing turned up. Despite the many possible leads, the case of the triple murders still remains a mystery. “Authorities checked the region for missing persons, too,” Brande said. “Even vacationers who spent summers at Lake Dunmore were questioned, but no missing persons were ever reported.” “So, the bodies were never identified,” Emilo added. “Yet even today, the State of Vermont will not release the medical examiner ’s report. Officials will not tell us anything about the case. I know, I’ve called. I’ve tried to talk with Dr. Paul Morrow, even the current medical examiner—they all said it’s an unsolved crime. They will not release any information today. A few years ago, a University of Vermont anthropology class studied the remains and wrote a report. I tried to get a copy of that report. They won’t release it. We believe the remains of these 1935 victims are still in Vermont.” Perhaps author Rachael Carson best summed up the dilemma of those—even fiction writers like Emilo and Brande—who seek to peel back the layers off an immutable onion: “Every mystery solved brings us to the threshold of a greater one.” Check It Out: What do you know about the Middlebury triple murders of May 1935?

THE EAGLE - 15

Middlebury College wins NCAA Regional By Frederick Pockette & News Reports newmarketpress@denpubs.com Tyler Macnee scored with 55 seconds remaining to lift Middlebury to a 2-1 victory over William Paterson in an NCAA Regional Final game in Vermont. The Panthers advance to next weekend's sectional, where they will take on Babson at Bowdoin on Saturday, Nov. 20. The host school will meet Amherst in the other sectional match-up. Middlebury improves to 15-3-1 with the win, while William Paterson ends its season with a 14-4-3 mark. William Paterson had a slight advantage in the first half, holding a 5-1 lead in shots. Middlebury had some opportunities, but they were unable to muster up many shots in the frame. The Pioneer had a couple of nice chances in the first 13 minutes, but Middlebury keeper Tim Cahill kept them off the board. The first came at 8:08, when Ryan Miller's shot deflected off a Middlebury defender and was saved before being cleared away. Mike Lowe broke in all alone at 13:30, with Cahill coming out to making a sliding save to keep the game scoreless. Three minutes later, Middlebury had a chance on a corner kick, but William Paterson keeper Zach Collins made

a save through traffic on Alex Colucci. With 3:43 left in the first half, the Pioneers took a 1-0 lead on the third of the season from Miller. Chris Belan crossed the ball from the left side, with Cahill briefly deflecting it before Miller was there to finish. Middlebury tied the game in the second half, with Brett Brazier netting his third of the year at the 53:37 mark. Jake Edwards made a quick crossing pass from the right side, with Brazier there to redirect it into the back of the net to knot the game at 1-1. The Panthers had an advantage in play for the next 20 minutes, before William Paterson came back strong. Kene Eze looked to put them back on top at 68:27 driving in from the right side. Cahill came out to challenge and was forced to dive back to his right to make a save. Matt Nigro's shot went just high in the 75th minute after beating a defender, before the Panthers began to challenge with a few opportunities of their own. The game-winner came with less than a minute to play, when Brett Brazier drove to the net from the right goal line. He quickly made a firm centering pass to Macnee from 15 yards away, with the junior burying the shot for his team-leading sixth of the season. William Paterson held an 11-7 shots advantage in the

game, while Middlebury led 9-2 in corner kicks. Cahill finished with five saves to earn the win, while Collins made three stops for the Pioneers Field Hockey Falls In NCAA Quarters The Middlebury College field hockey team saw its season come to an end with a 3-0 loss at Ursinus in the NCAA Quarterfinals. The Panthers end their season with a 13-5 mark, while the Bears improve to 20-1 as they advance to the final four for the third straight season. Three different players scored for Ursinus, with Bridget Resetco, Corinne Freeman and Alyssa Thren each netting goals. Resetco scored the first goal of the game on a hard shot from the top right corner 12:56 in for a 1-0 Ursinus lead. At 20:03, Freeman gave Ursinus a 2-0 lead with an assist from Jennifer Bayzick . The final goal of the game came at 40:36, when Thren scored off of a penalty corner when she dribbled through the Middlebury defense for a 3-0 lead. Ursinus, who owned a 28-9 shot advantage, held Middlebury scoreless as goalkeeper LauraLee LightwoodMater had one save. For Middlebury, junior goalkeeper Becca Shaw had 13 saves. Ursinus held an 18-6 advantage in penalty corners.

MUHS Tigers fall in Div. II Final Playoffs By Bob Chatfield bbchatfield845@gmail.com

The Middlebury Union High School football team saw its hopes for state title dashed by a potent Rice Memorial High 11 38-20 in Division II Championship game played at Castleton State College’s Spartan Stadium Saturday afternoon. For nine weeks of the regular season the Tigers used an efficient, and at times explosive offense, along with a stingy defense to roll to a 9-0 mark. They survived a semifinal played on a sloppy Doc Collins Field in beating a tough Fair Haven Union High Slaters ball club 9-6 on cold Friday night, Nov 5. But on an Indian Summer Saturday Nov. 13, the Tigers ran into a buzz saw in the form of the Rice Memorial Green Knights. For its part Rice came into this game with just one hiccup (a tough loss to Champlain Valley Union High) keeping the Green Knights from carrying a perfect record of their own into the title match. Senior quarterback Christian McCormick came in rated by many as the best signal caller in the state this season and he proved why in this one. McCormick was an impressive 21 of 33 for 303 yards and four touchdowns. He had a bevy of receivers to throw to including Austin Robinson who caught scoring strikes of 20 and 16 yards. He also hooked up with Casey Tipson on a 15-

yard touchdown pass and Nick Elderton on from 29-yards out. While they never really got their vaunted running game going in this one, the Tigers still hung tough in this one for a half. In fact, a Brendan Burrell three-yard toss to Marshall Hastings with seven seconds left in the half kept them very much in the contest trailing 16-14 at the half. But the Green Knights stopped the Tiger offense at the start at the second half. McCormick led Rice on a lightning quick three-play, 53yard drive capped with the 20-yard toss to Robinson that pushed the lead to 24-14. That would spark a run of 22 straight points that allowed Rice to put this one out of reach. The Tigers showed their refusal to quit with Burrell (8 of 18 two scores) hooking up with Bryan Ashley-Selleck on a 18-yard touchdown with less then two minutes left. But it was to little to late as the Tigers fell for the first time this season. While, the title game didn’t go as local fans would have liked, it in no way diminished a fabulous season. Led by a solid core of seniors that included Burrell, Ashley-Selleck, Patrick Fifield, Alex Bowdish, Jerry Hoffman, Mitchell Delancey, Kyle Kerr, Jarrod Ashley, Kalob Gagnon, Nick Masterson, Will McCartney, Tony Doria, Carl Leduc and Ben Cook, this was a hard working group that was easy for local fans to cheer for. A talented group of juniors led by the likes of Marshall

Hastings, Dillon Robinson and Steel White are sure to look to have the Tigers in the running for another run at the Division II title in 2011.

Police investigate suspicious Cornwall fire On Nov. 13, at approximately 9:30 a.m., the Cornwall Fire Department, along with several assisting agencies, responded to a reported residential fire at 3034 Route 30 in Cornwall. Upon arrival, they encountered heavy smoke conditions but were able to locate and extinguish the fire quickly. The fire caused no injuries and damage was isolated to the central portion of the Sherrill Given residence. After the fire was suppressed, Asst. Chief Sean Stearns made a request for the Vermont State Police Fire Investigation unit, to respond to assist with determining the origin and cause of this fire. Lt. Cruise of the Vermont State Police, along with Investigator Adnams of the Division of Fire Safety, responded to assist with this case. After a scene investigation, the exact cause remains undetermined; however, the fire is deemed suspicious at this time.
