Middlebury student exhibits photo study of trash receptacles By  XIAN  CHIANG-­WAREN MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  rare  individual  who  takes  real  notice  of  trash  receptacles.

Kimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  created  his  collection  of  PRUH WKDQ SKRWRJUDSKV RI WUDVK bins  using  his  iPhone  camera  during  his  travels  across  the  United  States  and  Europe.  The  best  of  the  photos  are  on  display  at  the  M  Gallery,  at  3  Mill  St.  in  the  Old  Stone  Mill  in  downtown  Middlebury  through  next  Thursday.

7KH SKRWRJUDSKV RQ GLVSOD\ DW the  M  Gallery  depict  bins  that  Kim  encountered  in  locations  ranging  from  the  Middlebury  campus  to  As-­

toria,  Ore.,  and  from  the  ferry  termi-­ nal  in  Hyannis,  Mass.,  to  the  Acropo-­ lis  in  Greece.

The  bins  themselves  range  from  â&#x20AC;&#x153;big-­bellied  solar  compacting  bins,â&#x20AC;?  to  clear  trash  bags  supported  by  a  metal  ring  (Kim  said  these  are  com-­ mon  in  subway  stations,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;because  of  bomb  threatsâ&#x20AC;?).  The  menagerie  also  includes  disposable,  one-­time-­use  cardboard  boxes,  concrete  bins  built  into  the  sidewalk,  trash  cans  with  raised  â&#x20AC;&#x153;hatsâ&#x20AC;?  to  protect  the  garbage  from  the  elements  â&#x20AC;Ś  the  list  goes  on.

Kim  began  the  project  almost  by  accident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One  of  my  best  friends  from  high  school  is  studying  industrial  design,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;He  had  a  project  to  design  a  new  trash  bin,  so  he  asked  me  to  help  him  out  gathering  materials  at  work  by  photographing  trash  bins  so  that  he  could  gain  inspiration,  to  see  what  else  has  been  done.  So  I  VWDUWHG GRLQJ LW DQG , JRW DURXQG WR WUDVK ELQV LQ DQG LW MXVW VWDUWHG

Kim  is  an  economics  major  at  the  college,  but  says  that  he  has  taken  many  art  and  art  history  courses  be-­ cause  of  his  interest  in  design.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long  term  I  want  to  go  into  real  estate,  which  I  like  because  it  is  an  LQWHUVHFWLRQ RI HFRQRPLFV DQG Âż-­ nance  with  aesthetics  and  design  and  urban  planning,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

Kim  said  he  gets  a  range  of  re-­ sponses  to  his  project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People  are  usually  kind  of  fasci-­ nated,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  obviously  that  shock,  and  almost  repulsion  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  like,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  taken  this  many  photos Â

The  real  gamble  is  not  to  try At  Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Town  Meeting,  the  one  surprise  came  in  the  spur-­of-­ the-­moment  discussion  over  the  economic  viability  of  the  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  newly  hired  business  development  director.  In  what  started  out  as  an  introduc-­ tion  of  the  new  director,  Jamie  Goucher,  the  conversation  quickly  turned  to  how  the  directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  performance  would  be  measured  and  how  com-­ PLWWHG WKH VWDNHKROGHUV ZHUH WR IXQGLQJ WKH SRVLWLRQ RYHU WKH ÂżUVW ÂżYH years  and  thereafter.  The  concern  was  that  taxpayers  would  be  funding  the  position  after  the  year  2017.  Such  tough  questions  are  what  make  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Town  Meeting  system  of  government  so  engaging,  and  certainly  these  were  fair  questions  to  ask  and  have  answered.  The  answer  is  that  with  the  expected  success  of  bringing  new  busi-­ nesses  to  town,  and  helping  other  businesses  grow  locally,  the  grand  list  will  grow  enough  to  support  the  added  cost.  Middlebury  resident  John  Freidin  questioned  that  the  position  could  ever  pay  for  itself,  suggesting  the  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  grand  list  would  have  to  grow  by  $7.2  million  annually  to  pay  IRU WKH SURMHFWHG VDODU\ DQG RIÂżFH H[SHQVHV $FWXDOO\ RQFH WKH JUDQG OLVW JURZV E\ PLOOLRQ WKDW UHPDLQV RQ WKH WD[ UROHV \HDU DIWHU \HDU ² HI-­ fectively  covering  the  cost  on  an  annual  basis;Íž  it  does  not  have  to  grow  by  an  additional  $7.2  million  each  year.  And,  quite  frankly,  the  town  does  H[SHFW WKDW PXFK JURZWK RYHU WKH ÂżUVW ÂżYH \HDUV +RSHIXOO\ PRUH What  exactly  does  that  mean?  If  Woodchuck  Cidery,  for  example,  ex-­ pands  its  facilities  as  projected  (by  more  than  $24  million),  that  more  than  covers  the  expected  growth  in  the  grand  list.  But  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  already  in  the  pipeline,  so  while  it  serves  as  an  example,  it  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  count.  What  pro-­ moters  of  the  position  expect  is  that  other  businesses  will  get  a  start  here,  grow  and  expand  little  by  little  and,  if  successful,  will  one  day  expand  into  new  buildings,  or  better  utiltize  existing  ones.  One  moderate-­size  building  will  reach  $2-­3  million  with  a  bat  of  an  eye.  It  would  not  be  un-­ reasonable  to  expect  two  or  three  projects  to  reach  that  $7.2  million  goal  ZLWKLQ WKH QH[W ÂżYH \HDUV ² WKHUHE\ PRUH WKDQ FRYHULQJ WKH FRVW RI WKH position  on  an  ongoing  basis  from  there  on  out.

But  Rep.  Paul  Ralston  and  resident  Ed  Barna  rebutted  Freidinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  com-­ ments  in  an  even  more  articulate  way  by  noting  that  looking  at  the  value  RI WKH SRVLWLRQ LQ WHUPV WKDW DUH ZKROO\ ÂżVFDO PLVVHV WKH ELJJHU SRLQW â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  would  say  it  is  extremely  shortsighted  to  think  of  the  development  director  position  simply  in  terms  of  getting  back  more  taxes  on  the  grand  list,â&#x20AC;?  Barna  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  very  hard  to  assign  a  value  for  providing  jobs  which  bring  children  back  to  the  community.  It  is  impossible  to  estimate  the  value  to  the  community  of  the  volunteerism  that  people  will  bring  to  Middlebury  as  a  result  of  having  new  enterprises.â&#x20AC;?

Ralston  added  that  the  reason  he  supported  the  position  was  â&#x20AC;&#x153;because  I  personally  have  seen  some  of  my  friends  and  neighbors  feel  the  result  of  this  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;great  recessionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  we  have  been  in.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  enough  just  to  hope  it  gets  better.  We  need  to  do  things  to  try  to  make  it  better.â&#x20AC;?

Gardner  will  be  missed  as  coach The  NCAA  skiing  championships  last  week  were  memorable  for  many  things:  gorgeous  weather,  incredibly  accomplished  athletes,  one  or  two  hard  collisions  with  trees,  immense  crowds  of  spectators.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  to  a  number  of  these  events  and  never  seen  one  as  exciting  and  as  well  run.  Peter  Mackey,  Mike  Hussey  and  all  their  many  colleagues  and  volunteers  deserve  great  credit.

Amidst  the  excitement,  one  bit-­ tersweet  note.  The  races  marked  Andrew  Gardnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  retirement  as  Nor-­ dic  ski  coach  at  Middlebury  College  after  a  seven-­season  run  that  saw  him  send  skiers  to  the  Olympics,  to  the  World  Cup,  and  year  after  year  to  the  ranks  of  all-­American  (this  year  being  no  exception,  with  the  stellar  performance  of  Ben  Lustgarten).  But  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  the  competitive  success  that  Gardner  will  be  most  remembered  IRU , WKLQN ² LWÂśV WKH UROH KH SOD\HG in  the  transformation  of  Nordic  ski-­ ing  culture  in  Addison  County  and  environs.

Cross-­country  skiing  was  once  a  kind  of  marginal  endeavor.  Now,  Rikert  boasts  the  best  race  trail  and  snowmaking  system  in  the  eastern  United  States.  The  high  school  team  is  one  of  the  largest  and  most  SURÂżFLHQW DW 0LGGOHEXU\ 8QLRQ +LJK School,  sending  kids  off  every  year  to  top  ski  programs.  The  Bill  Koch  League  is  a  wonder  to  behold,  with  a  hundred  youngsters  on  the  boards  every  weekend.  A  long  list  of  people  share  credit  for  all  these  develop-­ ments,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  also  no  accident  that  they  coincided  with  Gardnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  tenure,  and  his  outgoing  commitment  to  community  involvement.  Since  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  staying  in  the  area  and  switching  careers,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sweet  that  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  be  able  to  enjoy  the  fruits  of  his  labors  for  winters  to  come.

We  know  these  places,  but  hardly  ever  think  of  them  this  way  as  a  total.  And  we  barely  think  of  the  people  who  are  trapped  in  them.  Coal  strip  mines  of  Wyoming.  The  54,000  square  miles  of  Alberta  tar  sands.  The  mountaintop  removals  in  Kentucky  and  West  Virginia.  And  there  are  urban  areas  that  are  sac-­ ULÂżFH ]RQHV DV ZHOO 'HWURLW LV MXVW about  there;Íž  Camden  has  arrived.  7KH LPSOLFDWLRQ LV WKDW WKHVH ]RQHV ZHUH VDFULÂżFHG WR D SXUSRVH KRSH-­ fully  a  greater  good.  West  Virginia  equals  power  to  light  and  heat  our  houses  and  businesses,  especially  LQ WKH (DVW 'HWURLW HTXDOV FDUV 0\ GLVSXWH ZLWK WKLV QRWLRQ RI VDFULÂżFH ]RQHV LV QRW WKDW WKH\ GLG QRW RIIHU something  for  the  greater  good,  but  that  they  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  be  so  destructive  and  shortsighted  in  the  process.

That  brings  me  to  this  nonsense  over  the  ridgelines  that  has  been  so  passionately  discussed  in  these  pages  over  the  past  few  weeks  by  GLVVHQWLQJ ZKLQLQJ 1,0%<V Give  a  momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  thought  to  the  SHRSOH RI WKH VDFULÂżFH ]RQHV For  decades  and  decades  many  of  the  inhabitants  and  workers  in  these  areas  have  suffered,  been  made  ill  and  died  early  because  of  their  sur-­ roundings.  (There  are  areas  in  West  Virginia  where  almost  the  entire  population  has  had  their  gall  blad-­ ders  removed  or  the  public  schools  supply  inhalers  to  their  students.)  Especially  those  who  worked  in  mining  and  near  the  dirty  power  plants  that  provided  the  power  and  light  for  our  lives  here.  I  think  they  have  given  more  than  enough.  It  LV WLPH ZH PDNH VRPH VDFULÂżFHV ourselves.  And  given  the  incred-­ ible  damage  and  destruction  that  has  been  visited  upon  these  other  VDFULÂżFH ]RQHV RXU VDFULÂżFHV ZLOO be  very  small  indeed.

Will  there  be  environmental  dam-­ age  with  the  building  of  ridgeline  EDVHG ZLQG SRZHU" <HV %XW WKHUH is  environmental  damage  in  every  house  or  strip  mall  built.  Every  snowmobile  trail  created.  Every  road  paved.  If  the  concern  was  for  the  mountains,  letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  remove  all  the  ski  slopes.  Those  areas  have  already  been  â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost.â&#x20AC;?  The  animals  who  inhabited  those  areas  have  found  their  way  around,  as  they  will  with  wind  farms.  And  if  your  particular  concern  is  birds,  then  keep  your  cats  inside.  Cats  kill  more  birds  than  any  other  group,  hundreds  of  millions  a  year.  Cars  kill  about  45  million  a  year.  Wind  turbines  kill  about  35,000.

As  to  the  ludicrous  idea  of  big  wind  running  rampant  over  the  VWDWH OHWÂśV ORRN DW D IHZ ÂżJXUHV Traditional  energy  sources  in  this  country  have  received,  on  the  aver-­ age,  $300  billion  a  year  in  subsidies  while  renewables  (all  of  them)  have  received  less  than  $20  billion  total  over  the  last  30  years.  While  there  should  be  money  to  be  made  in  re-­ newables  (this  is  a  capitalist  country  after  all)  clearly  the  big  money,  the Â

really  big  money,  is  in  oil  and  gas.  Still. $V WR ZLQGÂśV HIIHFWLYHQHVV /HW me  quote  one  of  the  previous  dis-­ senting  authors  describing  wind  power  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  least  effective  and  most  destructive  methods  that  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  EHQHÂżW 9HUPRQWHUV RU WKH ZRUOG ´ Perhaps  he  would  like  to  be  bet-­ ter  informed.  I  would  suggest  the  author  talk  to  the  people  of  Samso  Island  which  receives  100  percent  of  its  power  (excluding  heat,  which  they  get  from  biomass)  from  wind  power;Íž  half  onshore,  half  offshore.  Or  perhaps  he  speaks  Spanish  better  WKDQ 'DQLVK DQG ZRXOG SUHIHU WR talk  to  the  people  of  El  Hierro.  They  have  gone  one  step  further  with  WKHLU ZLQG SRZHU 7KH H[WUD SRZHU is  not  dumped,  it  instead  goes  to  power  hydro.  Apparently,  the  Span-­ ish  have  greater  imaginations  than  Americans  when  it  comes  to  what  to  do  with  the  inconsistencies  of  wind.  $V WR FRVW 3ULFH SHU NLORZDWW KRXU has  dropped  from  40  cents  to  2.5-­5  FHQWV %XW ZH GRQÂśW KHDU DERXW FRVW too  much  anymore.  Could  that  pos-­ sibly  be  because  new  technologies  have  brought  the  cost  down?
