NEW HAVEN — Vermont State Police troopers arrested Amanda Gilbert, 32, of Moriah, N.Y., at Addison County Fair & Field Days fairgrounds in New Haven, Vt., Aug. 8.

Gilbert was wanted in Vermont; she was arrested without incident. The VSP report did not note why Gilbert was wanted.

Troopers of the VSP New Haven Barracks had received a tip that she would be attending the county fair Aug. 8.

After her arrest, Gilbert was transported to the New Haven Barracks for booking and then transported to the Addison County Sheriff's Department to post $250 for bail.

She was released on a citation and will appear in Addison County Superior Court Aug. 13.

NJ man dies at Lake Dunmore after fall from house deck SALISBURY — A New Jersey man died in Salisbury, Aug. 8. Gerard K Conroy, 50. of Bradley Branch, N.J., was visiting family members on Lake Dunmore when he fell from a house deck early in the morning.

Police said Conroy fell about 12 feet to the ground below. The ground consisted of brush and rocks.

Conroy suffered a head injury as a result of the fall.

Due to his injuries, Conroy, who was found unresponsive, was transported

by Middlebury Rescue to Porter Medical Center where he died from these injuries.

No foul play is suspected but alcohol may be a factor, according to police.

An autopsy was scheduled for a later time.

NEW HAVEN — Addison County’s new Natural Resources Pavilion opened in time for this year ’s Addison County Fair and Field Days. This year ’s fair opened Aug. 7 and closed Aug. 11.

According the Addison County Forester Chris Olson of Middlebury, the new all-native wood pavilion building took two months to build. Olson is an employee of the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation.

“This building is really a gift to the people of Addison County from the wood products industry,” Olson said. “We have a long list of all the good people and businesses who helped make this pavilion a reality. Many volunteers provided labor, products and equipment.”

Olson said the local wood product industry are proudest of the hand-hewn timbers used in the pavilion; they represent 19 vital tree species growing right here in Addison County.

Olson noted that seasoned maple, ash, pine, bass, white walnut, hickory, and birch are just a few of the trees seen in the timber of the pavilion.

Bicyclists eagerly sample an array of ripe tomatoes at the Golden Russet Farm during the 2011 Tour de Farms.

SHOREHAM — Fantastic foods, amazing bicycling, and spectacular scenery are in store for all those who participate in the fifth Annual Tour de Farms.

Scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 16, in Shoreham the Tour de Farms offers three loop rides (approximately 10, 25 and 30 miles) and a family-friendly five-mile walking or biking option.

At designated stops, family farmers will treat bicyclists and walkers to tasty samples of local foods such as apple cider, quiche, bread, roasted vegetables, yogurt, wine, maple syrup, and cookies.

Because the event is a tour and not a race, the pace is low key, allowing ample time to chat with farmers and relax with friends in the beautiful Champlain Valley.

This year ’s Tour is sponsored by Earl’s Cyclery and Fitness, City Market, Healthy Living, Cabot Creamery, Green Mountain Feeds, the Lodge at Otter Creek, Vermont Sun, and the Addison County Regional Planning Commission.

Officials said this year ’s tour should attract approximately 600 bicyclists from Vermont, other northeastern states, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and

Ontario.

The Tour de Farms is organized by the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN), Rural Vermont, and the Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition and is a fundraising event for the three nonprofit groups.

Each year, the tour is enhanced by the addition of new features, such as NOFA-Vermont’s woodfired pizza for sale and a stop at a quirky art gallery.

This year ’s tour will offer a handful of new farmers and food producers and children’s books and walking. There is also a competition open to all who wish to make a short film about the 2012 Tour de Farms. Contest rules can be found at www.ruralvermont.org Participants can expect to sample from a variety of loca farms and restaurants.

At 12:30 pm on Sept. 16, Shoreham will kick off an Apple Fest on the town green, complete with continuous live music, crafts, and a farmers’ market featuring a variety of delicious items for sale.

The Apple Fest continues until 5 p.m. and all proceeds benefit the Platt Memorial Library in Shoreham.

Advance registration fees for the Tour de Farms are: $28 for adults and $13 for kids 16 and under.

Day-of registration fees are $50 for adults and $20 for kids 16 and under.

Children in trailers and bike seats ride free and don’t need to be registered.

Registration is now open at www.ruralvermont.org.

All routes begin and end at the Shoreham Town Green. The 30-mile riders depart at 10:30 a.m., the 25mile riders depart at 11 a.m., and the 10-mile riders depart at 11:30 a.m.

Sweet reading rewards at Ilsley’s East Middlebury library

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com EAST MIDDLEBURY — Most patrons of the Ilsley Public Library are familiar with the main library, located on Main Street in downtown Middlebury. But if you’re a resident of East Middlebury, you’re no doubt acquainted with Ilsley’s crosstown branch, the Sarah Partridge Community Library.

This quaint, pocket library is located on East Main Street in East Middlebury.

Established in 1924, the East Middlebury house and library were gifts to the community by the Partridge family in memory of matriarch Sarah, a longtime resident of East Middlebury. Included within the East Middlebury branch are several outstanding, original landscape paintings also donated by the Partridges.

Under the caring management of librarian Mona Rogers, Ilsley’s Partridge Library is a columnated, mini version of its downtown parent.

The pocket library offers a cozy, stuffed-animal populated children’s reading room that’s very conducive to parentchild interaction, a nicely focused collection of fiction and nonfiction print books, engaging audio books, Internet access, and DVD movies. And unlike the main library, the Partridge Library still retains its vintage VHS video lending col-

lection for full-screen T.V. viewing.

“East Middlebury residents aren’t the only folks using this library,” according to librarian Rogers. “We have patrons from surrounding towns, such as Ripton and Salsbury. If you live or own property in Middlebury, you can join the library for free.”

All children enrolled in the Addison Central Supervisory Union can join for free, but they must have a parent or guardian sign an application. Students who attend Middlebury’s other schools, including the Hannaford Center and CCV, can also join at no cost, she noted.

Rogers said that joining the library in East Middlebury means you can access the main library holdings as well.

“And if you live outside of Middlebury, you can join by paying either a $45 annual fee, for individual membership, or a $70 annual fee, for a household membership,” she said.

Rogers was especially eager to not that—through Aug. 31—the Partridge Library is offering the Middlebury Sweets’ Sweet Rewards Summer Reading Program for children, grades kindergarten to eight.

“Each child must read six to eight books to qualify for their goodies,” according to Rogers. “When you read the books, you qualify for a free, quarter pound of candy or an ice cream cone, plus a $5 pizza gift certificate. The child must follow the library’s reading instructions, complete the reading log,

and deliver it to the Middlebury Sweets candy shop.”

The Partridge Library is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays only.

For more details about the summer reading program or to become a library member, call 388-7588.

At left, Librarian Mona Rogers of the Ilsley’s Sarah Partridge Community Library in East Middlebury welcomed Brianna Wagner, 8, and Lily Raven Wagner, 4, to the library last week.

RUTLAND — Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) appeared with the leadership of Rutland Regional Medical Center and Efficiency Vermont last week to help kick off the final year of a groundbreaking initiative that is challenging Vermont businesses to push the envelope on energy efficiency.

“As Vermont thinks about our energy future, we know that energy efficiency is going to play a critical role in helping to meet the ambitious goals we’ve set,” Shumlin said. “The Energy Leadership Challenge - and the strong partnership it is helping further between large businesses such as Rutland Regional Medical Center and Efficiency Vermont - shows that investments in energy efficiency make good business sense. This is exactly the type of effort that will ensure our state continues to be a national leader on both energy efficiency and business innovation.”

Efficiency Vermont launched the Energy Leadership Challenge in the summer of 2011, in an effort to encourage the state’s largest electricity consumers to reduce their usage by 7.5 percent over two years. At this point, 69 businesses and institutions have signed on to the Challenge, and ten have already exceeded the energy reduction goal.

“In every decision we make as an institution, it is important to us to be good stewards of the Rutland community,” said RRMC CEO Tom Huebner. “Investing in energy efficiency not only improves our bottom line, it also provides better comfort for our patients, reduces our environmental impact, and shows that we are making sustainability a priority.”

According to Jim Merriam, director of Efficiency Vermont, businesses across the state have stepped up to the challenge.

From the Editor

NORMLville, Vt. I

August 18, 2012

www.addison-eagle.com

n recent weeks, Vermont gubernatorial candidate Randy Brock (R) has been building a solid case that for me—personally speaking—makes it unlikely that I will vote to reelect Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) in Novem-

ber.

The latest flap is the governor’s shameless pursuit of the legalize marijuana demographic.

Last week, it was disclosed, the governor personally contacted Allen St. Pierre, executive director of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

It appears Gov. Shumlin volunteered to help NORML as its national spokesman—really! I guess the use of the guv’s smiling mug and his words of weed wisdom—far out, man—are sought after, providing there’s a 2012 campaign contribution in the offing.

An Wall Street Journal report noted that Shumlin’s “volunteer” endorsement of the nation’s oldest legalize pot-smoking organization could yield him between $10,000 and $20,000 from NORML folks. Sweet. That little bit of weeding and dealing would make Nancy Botwin of television’s “Weeds” proud.

“Talk about misplaced priorities and setting a bad example,” Brock retorted, regarding the governor’s kooky idea, last week. Yeah, really—what was the governor thinking?

You have to ask yourself: why would a respectable, sitting governor want to become a pothead-poster boy?

Is Gov. Shumlin a closet Grateful Dead fan yearning to be free?

Maybe he’s a an hippie missing the altered reality and flower powwer of the Summer of Love?

Pardon my pun, but this latest incident is just more smoke and mirrors from Gov. Shumlin—and of course with nary a peep about it. You have to read the Wall Street Journal, of all things, to get the scoop.

As time passes, the governor appears less and less like the kind of leader he should work harder at becoming—the leader of a state in serious financial trouble, the leader of a state losing its productive, working-age people, and the leader of a state with shrinking job and energy horizons (many of the state legislature’s making).

Gov. Shumlin’s latest pandering to the Cannabis sativa set is typical of his so-called progressive politics—always tilting at windmills providing they are off, somewhere, to the left.

According to Mr. Brock, the governor’s moderate-GOP competitor, “Our small businesses are struggling and many Vermonters are out-of-work—but Gov. Shumlin is making decriminalization of marijuana one of his top priorities, if he is reelected.”

We wonder, seriously, why the governor’s interest in NORML at a time when the majority of Vermont utility ratepayers just got shafted? Gov. Shumlin refused to support the Green Mountain Power-CVPS rate refund that was promised to we the people.

Then, the governor fumbled $90 million in FEMA disaster relief in the wake of Irene. So, now, to compound the Montpelier nuttiness, he announces marijuana legalization is a top priority.

In a time when so many fiscal and social problems are festering, I’d expect a more mature, seasoned focus on problems from a state governor.

Pursuing the legalization of marijuana just doesn’t seem very important—or very mature—to me. But then I forget, for Gov. Shumlin, it’s just another sunny, fun day in NORMLville.

Four more years of gridlock

G

ridlock, and the continued widening of the gap between the two political parties on the federal level, leaves most Americans questioning how we will ever resolve the many problems facing the nation. Both parties have taken political spin mastery to outrageous new levels. Playing to the outer limits of their political bases has done nothing positive for the country and thus it leaves only division, anger, confusion and misinformation among the masses.

More and more American citizens are realizing that neither party has their best interests at heart.

Playing chicken, showing complete disrespect for each other and the offices they hold, leaving the country deep in debt while failing to control spending and yet promising that their party alone can solve the ever growing problems facing our nation is leaving citizens with little choice and opportunity. The American political system is now seriously broken and no one in a leadership role nor established party seems prepared to modify their approach in an effort to fix it. Instead this election is shaping up to be just another head bashing, over promising, negative and deeply dividing event sure to leave many frustrated voters wondering how much longer we can tolerate the sad state of the country.

It’s doubtful we will see well recognized national figures break ranks from the established parties, join together and provide serious solutions while proving their genuine sincerity. I fear we will be left once again hoping something will change. We need to face the simple fact that neither party candidate will win with a national mandate, thus forcing the losing party to dig in their heels even further causing even greater stonewalling, and the only things growing will be gridlock, unemployment and the national debt. We all know it’s going to happen like the car accident that happens before your eyes in slow motion. Gridlock is the only thing Washington has mastered over the last 20 years and it ensures the status quo of “If we can’t win then we’ll keep you from being successful at all costs so we have a better chance next time around.” That game may work for the politicians but it’s done little for the country and its future generations.

Somehow, some way we need to break this cycle and scare the “you know what” out of the two established parties. They need to understand that they stand, oh so close, to the abyss, and the American public won’t tolerate this foolishness any longer. The big question is, is there a nationally recognized and well financed figure out there

Sugar smokes D

PUBLISHER GENERAL MANAGER MANAGING EDITOR OFFICE MANAGER PRODUCTION DESIGN

ead on my 50th birthday, I took up smoking cigars.

Stupid? Maybe. I already do most of the healthy things others take up on their 50th birthday. Cigars were what was available.

I like cigars, am having fun with them; they’re my mid-life anti crisis.

I say “took up cigars” and you picture me with one stuck in my pie hole as I type this. A Burt Sugar real smokin’ guy type, you’re imagining. Nope. On average, I smoke two to four a week, almost always in the evening, and never more than one in a single day.

Two pals stop by now and then to sit on my deck and shoot the bull. They eat sweets I bake—it sounds pansy, but it’s true.

Most often, I skip the sweets for a smoke. By the way, I never smoke inside the house or truck.

The boys find my smoking comical. So do I. I think they wonder if my newfound pleasure will be harmful for my health and shorten my life. So do I. Paul asked, “So Russ, how many cigars you smoking now?” When I told him, neither guy nor I seemed alarmed or worried I’d die soon.

As I puffed my cigar, and they chewed on apple crumb pie and whipped cream, I wondered, what’s worse, semi-regularly gorging on processed sugary foods, or smoking a cigar thrice weekly?

If the question was “can processed sugar be bad for you”, the answer is yes. And yes is the answer to cigar smoking being contrary to lung, heart, and overall health.

But if I had to choose between the two based on health, I’d choose three cigars a week over three XL portions of sugary desert. I may be way off thinking sugar overload is worse then occasional cigar smoking, but I do. I prefer the image of smoke in the blood than sugar in the blood. Rather not have either, but— Sugar doesn’t get as bad a rep as it should. It flies under the poison radar.

Watching a guy eating a triple scoop ice cream cone you don’t think “Whoa, he’s out of hand, and stupid, can’t believe people eat ice cream.”

Watching a fella smoke a cigar, especially if you’re down wind, you’ll liable to mind-rip him a new butt hole, maybe straight to his face. “You stink man, how can you smoke those

who could step in at this late date and make a serious bid for the presidency?

The individual or group would have to be very well estabDan Alexander lished, not seen as a Thoughts from polarizing figure, Behind the Pressline have unlimited funds and be fearless in the face of a tremendous onslaught from both parties. While such a candidacy might not succeed, it could be just enough to bring the two parties to the simple realization that they had better find solutions now or surely be prepared to face an even tougher challenge in 2016.

Currently there are five major third or alternative parties in the United States and dozens of lesser-known third parties. Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico, ran for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, running on a platform based on legalization of marijuana, and is the leading candidate for the Libertarian party nomination.

Despite dropping out of the Republican race a week before the Iowa caucuses, Mr. Johnson has not given up his hopes of competing for the White House in November. Having switched to the third party, Mr. Johnson said he is confident that he will be one of three people to compete in all 50 states in the fall along with Jim Gray, a former California judge, as his vice presidential running mate.

I find it hard to believe Mr. Johnson’s candidacy will have an impact on the results this fall. Despite how frustrated the American public may be with the Washington leadership, and the current two established choices, a third party candidate like Mr. Johnson is just not up to the monumental task of even making a dent in the 2012 political scene. But a serious dent is exactly what’s needed to shake up the established parties and bring them back to getting things done. Until the two parties see their existence and power seriously threatened, why should they alter the good thing they have going? It’s sad but it seems no one is prepared to save us from yet another four years of gridlock reruns, Washington bickering and further indebtedness, and that is my greatest fear of exactly what we’ll have more of regardless of who we elect in 2012.

things? You’re gonna drop dead.”

Sugar. Cigar. Sugar. Cigar.

Both bad? Both ok? Yes and yes?

My great buddy dropped dead at 51. Not because he smoked. I’d bet money he never had more than a few try out teenage puffs. He dropped dead cause he drank barrels of soda. And he weighed 380 pounds. Loaded with food he was, nearly ever bit of it loaded with processed sugar Then there’s Ma, age 82, been smoking since her early teens and her check ups are better now then most of her life. She’s learned to eat well and she’s much more a calm relaxed person.

Six years ago Ma had heart issues. So the docs did the deal where they put the dye through your heart plumbing to see if there are any blockages. Next of kin are present during the procedure so the docs can tell you what’s up right off. If what’s up ain’t good, like if the patient has three arties blocked and they need to by-pass them pronto, you can give the okay to do it.

Right after life-long smoker ma had her dye deal, I met with the doc. “I have good news and bad news.”

“The good first,” I said.

“All your mother’s arteries are fine. They’re clear.”

I was stunned. “Th—they’re clear? She’s a life-long smoker, Doc. Clear? ” “Crystal,” He answered. “But don’t tell anyone.”

The bad news was that she had heart disease.

Doc told her if she made some significant lifestyle alterations, she should be able to live a long time, feeling very well. She did stop smoking for about half a year, cold turkey, but she’s since taken it back up, at less a rate.

Our bodies will react to things for a million reasons. Some premium-healthy living folks drop dead at age 17, some unhealthy living folks live well into their 90s.

I’ll keep eating box cake and smoking fine cigars. But at ultra scant, the rate I’ll keep eating fresh asparagus and hiking tall mountains.

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com NEW HAVEN — Vermont’s largest agricultural fair marked another milestone year in 2012. Hot temperatures, sunshine, and intermittent downpours marked the early August week of the Addison County Fair and Field Days.

For many farming families, Field Days is an annual social event that brings the agricultural community of Addison County together for a few days. For others, the event is a

time for fair food—fried dough, candy apples and cotton candy—amusement rides and animal shows. This year ’s fair was no exception.

On Aug. 7, the opening day of the fair, the daytime temperature reached 90 degrees under a hot sun. Amusement rides opened at 12:30 p.m. for the run of the fair and included the first horse shows and antique farm implement demonstrations of the event.

Among the special highlights of the 2012 Field Days wa the opening of the Addison County Natural Resources Pavil-

ion built of timbers from 19 different local tree species.

Several events attracted the largest crowds including the annual demolition derby and tractor pull. This year ’s special feature of Rosie’s Racing Pigs included young and old with plenty of laughter and I.Q. marvels of the porcine world.

While attendance figures were not available at press time, there is every indication that Field Days equalled or surpassed last year ’s attendance.

Below are a selection of photographs of this year ’s Field Days by which to remember it.

ITSY BITSY SPIDER — Retired Addison Eagle photographer J. Kirk Edwards found this common black-and-yellow garden spider spinning a web in a corner of his home porch this week. According to Edwards, the spider was between one and one and a quarter in length. The garden spider, which eats a variety of insects, is found in all New England states and is among Vermont’s most common arachnids.

Triathletes race the distance in Branbury Classic SALISBURY — Drawing inspiration from the women’s Olympic triathlon held in London on Saturday, triathletes from the Northeast and Canada competed in the Branbury Classic Triathlon Sunday. Brett Nichols of Brookline, Mass.

Easily held off James Linville of New York, New York to win in 2:02:58. The women’s champion Mariana Lara (37) of Montpelier just edged 55-year-old Donna Smyers of Adamant by 11 seconds to win in 2:21:15.

The Branbury Classic, like the race in London was an “Olympic Distance” triathlon, which consists of a 1500-meter swim, 40-kilometer bike, and 10,000 meter run. Convert that to U.S. measure, it’s a .9-mile swim, 24.8-mile bike and 6.2 mile run. The Branbury Classic swim and run are those exact distances, but the bike is 28 miles to make it exactly 2 laps around Lake Dunmore and Fern Lake.

The triathlon in staged to fit Branbury State Park. Thunderstorms threatened throughout the morning, but all that came were strong south winds, which helped bike times.

Bristol’s Todd Smith placed 3rd overall with a sensational time of 2:05:38, just 1:06 behind Linville’s second. Zoltan Varga, who just moved here from his native country, Hungary, to Waltham, MA, was fourth in 2:06:08 with John Dunbar of Saxtons River fifth in 2:07:14.

Smith was 8th after the swim. He held his place on the bike as he jockeyed back and forth with several riders. It was the run where Smith stood out, posting the days fastest (35:02) to pull all the way up to 3rd. Smith’s run was 4 minutes better than Nichols. Nichols led the race wire to wire as he exited Lake Dunmore with a huge 1:35 lead over Varga.

Smith moved to Bristol from Charlotte last year. “The run is my strength. With the heat and humidity I think the other guys really felt spent going into the 6.2 mile. I felt strong and took advantage to get on the podium,” said Smith, in a reference to the top three in the Olympics.

Cory Coffey of Vergennes placed seventh overall. Coffey

was just 29th after the swim but, he posted the days fastest by more than 2 minutes, bike split (1:05:02) to catapult all the way up to 2nd place at the start of the run. On the run he eventually faded to 7th. The 36-year-old Coffey has traditionally been a strong rider and is working to sharpen his swim and run to stay in the top 5.

On the women’s side, Smyers began the race in the 4th wave while Lara was in the 3rd wave. Separated by 2 minutes at the start, they had identical swim splits. Smyers actually moved ahead, on time, by 1:35 after the bike, but Lara outran her by 1:46 to claim the narrow victory. Montpelier ’s Dot Martin, 52, claimed 3rd in 2:25:23.

The Branbury Classic was the 3rd race in the 5 event Vermont Sun Triathlon series. Martin ran in both the first two, sprint triathlons, placing 2nd each time.

Jeff Schumann, 55, of Salisbury also competed in the first two sprints, placing 15th and 17th. On Sunday he cracked

the top 10, claiming 10th in 2:14:46. Schumann was 4th on the swim. He competed with the younger men on the bike, holding his place with the 8th best time. Like most men, it’s the run where their age seems to take the greatest toll. Schumann’s 30th best run allowed a few to skip by, but he still got into the top ten.

Brandon’s Neil Mackenzie, 21, placed 4th in the men’s 2024 age group in 2:44:04.

Middlebury’s Dr. Linn Larson claimed 3rd in the women’s 55-59 group in 3:03:51. She also competed in the first two sprints, placing 2nd and 3rd in her age group.

Many triathletes who can complete the sprint distance aren’t trained enough to move up the Olympic distance. The final event in the Vermont Sun Triathlon series is the Vermont Journey. Finishing the Journey is a challenge, as it consists of a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike and a 13.1-mile run.

Lake Monsters lose to Hudson Valley BURLINGTON — The McNamara Division leading Hudson Valley Renegades rallied from a five-run deficit with four runs in the fifth inning and three runs in the bottom of the eighth for a 7-5 victory over the Vermont Lake Monsters in New York-Penn League action Aug. 7 at Dutchess Stadium.

Vermont jumped out to a 5-0 lead with a run in the second followed by two runs in the third and fourth innings off Hudson Valley starter Sean Bierman. Diomedes Lopez had an RBI single for the Lake Monsters in the second inning before a two-out Miguel Marte two-run double in the third after back-to-back singles from Chris Bostick and John Wooten.

Vermont got its two runs in the fourth on a throwing error on an Addison Russell single and a Brett Vertigan RBI single.

Starter Brent Powers gave up just three hits with six strikeouts over four scoreless innings before leaving the game after allowing a one-out double in the bottom of the fifth. Reliever Nate Eppley came on to hit a batter and force home a run with a bases loaded walk for the Renegades first run. Then Eppley, who had not given up an earned run in his previous 17 2/3 innings over eight appearances, allowed three straight RBI infield singles for three more Renegade runs to cut deficit to 5-4.

Later in the inning with two on and two out, Luke Maile drilled a two-run triple to leftfield off Pudenz scoring pinch runner Joel Caminero and Thomas Coyle for a 7-5 Hudson Valley lead. Vermont pitchers had allowed just eight triples all season before the Renegades got two three-baggers in the eighth.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE School super visits region on bike ride across America

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com NEWCOMB, N.Y. — When Mark Mansell gets back to school in the fall, he can easily answer the question of “What did you do this summer?” with four simple words: I rode across America.

Mansell is the superintendent for La Center Central School, a small district of 1,500 students in southwest Washington state in the shadow of Mount St. Helens.

On June 16, he left the West Coast on a seven-week bicycle journey from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine.

On Thursday, Aug. 2, he traveled through the Adirondack Park and into Vermont, leaving Newcomb and staying the night in Ticonderoga on his way to Middlebury, Vt. “I can see why people love this part of the country so much. Simply gorgeous!”

Mansell wrote Aug. 3 on his blog at www.crazyguyonabike.com.

The mission for this 52year-old amateur cyclist was to raise awareness and funds for Leader Dogs for the Blind, which provides guide dogs and other needed services for people who are blind. It was started by the Lions Club in 1939. Since that time, they’ve given away more than 14,000 dogs to clients.

“And so raising awareness and those funds to provide those dogs is a cause that’s near and dear to the Lions and, as a member of Lions, it’s therefore near and dear to me,” Mansell said.

After spending a night at the High Peaks Campground in Newcomb, Mansell stopped at the Newcomb Central School parking lot off State Route 28N for an early morning interview before heading to Ticonderoga.

The idea Mansell said he started bicycling as a cross-training sport for his long-distance running regimen. Several years ago, a fellow superintendent said that when he retired, he wanted to ride his bicycle across America.

“And I thought, ‘That’s nuts. Who would want to do that?’” Mansell said. “I mean, I wouldn’t want to ride across in a car for the fun of it, let alone a bicycle, and yet here I am three years later. I’m doing it.”

Pondering the idea, Mansell thought a bike ride across America could have meaning beyond a solo trek for the fun of it. So he began to think about his community service work with the Lions Club, and he thought about his students.

“The idea sort of rooted in my mind, and one thing led to another, and I’m always up for a good challenge,” Mansell said. “And what’s interesting as a school superintendent, as an educator, we challenge our kids all the time to do things, to push beyond their limits, but I wonder how many times as adults we do that ourselves. And so I thought, heck, why not give it a shot and see if I can do it. And the tie to the Lions and the leader dogs was a natural connection, and as they say, the rest is history.”

This wasn’t a personal trip for Mansell. He didn’t know anyone who had used a guide dog or had the experi-

ence of being blind.

“To hear the stories and to begin to know people who face those challenges, turn them into opportunities, has been very inspiring for me,” Mansell said. “So the personal piece that started was just the challenge to see if I could do that, to put yourself in a situation where you challenge what you think is possible. That’s what I was looking for, and what I found was that and so much more.”

American stories What Mansell found was a beautiful America, one with

LET “OLD SPOKES” FIND YOU SOME “NEW SPOKES”

spacious skies, amber waves of grain and purple mountain majesties. Yet it was those face-to-face encounters with strangers where he found the inner beauty of America, even as tragedies unfolded, such as the July 20 killing of 12 people in a Colorado movie theater.

“The scenery is wonderful, being out in the fresh air, but it’s the people, it’s the people in this country that are amazing,” Mansell said.

“People have invited me into their home, they’ve stopped me alongside the road, they’ve asked me

about what I’m doing.

They’ve been tremendously kind, and with all the craziness that’s going on in the country and Colorado, to know that there are so many people that just are so unselfish and caring and excited about their communities and about life. It is just uplifting to me personally.”

For his accommodations, Mansell camped out, spent nights in motels and stayed with Lions Club members.

He always felt at home in communities — such as Newcomb — that post the Lions Club logo on their

welcome signs.

“When I come into a community and see that ‘L’ there, a big smile comes across my face because I know there are other Lions just like me that are doing what they can,” Mansell said. “Not everybody can ride a bike 3,500 miles, but everyone’s doing their part ... It’s been very inspiring for me to meet them and get to know their causes and see their efforts in each of their communities.”

And everywhere he went, Mansell never forgot his mission, proudly wearing guide dog tags around his neck. He and his wife spent three days in April at a leader dog school in Rochester, Mich., where he received those tags.

Cyclist from page 8 “We actually got to do a blindfold walk where we got to experience firsthand what that’s like to trust the dog and let the dog guide you across streets and so on,” Mansell said. “They asked me to carry the tag of a leader dog, a yellow lab named Lacey, that actually served 12 days short of nine years.

And so I carry this tag with me. The original hole actually wore through and they had to drill another hole, and the edges are all curved, but 6035 is the tag number, and so it’s like I have my own leader dog with me.”

Adirondacks, Vermont

(my normal process) has become one of those small joys in life for me after these many weeks on the road. Clean, dry clothes is a beautiful thing!”

On Aug. 3, Mansell crossed Lake Champlain on the Ticonderoga ferry, biked through Middlebury and stayed at a campground in South Royalton.

“As I left the shores of Lake Champlain, I traveled steadily up hill on my way towards Middlebury, VT,” he wrote. “There was mostly open farm ground with a mix of dairy cows, hay fields, some corn (albeit only waist high stalks) and a few orchards.”

Finish line With a front-wheel tire in the Atlantic Ocean, Mansell finished his trip in Portland, Maine on Monday, Aug. 6. He spent 45 days bicycling (with some rest days), traveling 3,343 miles across America and a portion of Canada. He raised about $70,000 for Leader Dogs for the Blind. All the money goes to Leader Dogs; he and his wife financed the trip by themselves.

Rumor has it that Mansell will be riding his bicycle in a community parade when he returns home. He’ll also be incorporating bicycling as part of the physical education program at La Center Central School.

His trip’s impact on the La Center community has only just begun. It started on June 16 and continued throughout the trip, as people live-tracked him online. So when people ask Mark Mansell about his summer, he can proudly tell his students that he “talked the talk” and “walked the walk.”

Asked what he learned on the trip that he didn’t know before, he said there wasn’t any lesson that stands out, but there was a confirmation.

“I think that you realize that you are part of something that’s bigger than you, with Lions. You know those things when you’re a Lion, but then to actually be out there and experience it. And I think the other thing I confirmed is that when you set your mind to something, you can do it. And if you don’t dream big, don’t be surprised that big things don’t happen in your life. And so I love to dream big and here’s another example of, you know, who would have thought that a 52-year-old school superintendent could say, ‘I’m going to ride across the country,’ and then go out and do it and then have the chance to meet so many wonderful people.”

Adventure Cycling in Missoula, Mont. picked the route for his trek and sent him through some of the most remote parts of the Adirondack Park. On paper, it looked like the quickest route. Yet Mansell wasn’t prepared for the technological challenges that face residents and visitors every day in the Central Adirondacks.

“The challenge is finding cell coverage,” Mansell said. “I anticipated having better cell coverage here in New York and New England than I’m having. The last time I had this was in central Idaho in the Salmon Wilderness Area, so it’s a sign of remoteness, and some people probably come here because of that. For some of us trying to journal every day, it can be a real challenge, and thankfully I had a chance to find a place that had Internet last night in town and got caught up.”

With a Bluetooth headset and a smartphone, Mansell was used to communicating with the world from his bike — making and taking phone calls, blogging and uploading GPS coordinates so people could live track his progress.

After getting wet in the rain and spending extra time on the road, Mansell decided to stay the night of Aug. 2 in Ticonderoga. His original destination that day was Middlebury, Vt. He posted a note on his blog about the decision the morning of Aug. 3.

“Even though I began yesterday thinking I was going to wake up this morning in Vermont, I am really glad I stopped in Ticonderoga and got a motel,” Mansell wrote.

“Having the chance to really dry everything out and do my laundry in a actual washer and dryer instead of in a sink or the shower

Mistaken identity

We are all born with our good name. What we do to tarnish our good name is up to us. Sometimes we make bad choices that follow us through our lives; yet when our good name is tarnished by the act of another, it haunts us for a very long time—maybe forever.

When a headline on the front page of my favorite local paper drew the attention of Bridporters, many of us looked to see who among us would be connected to a robbery and more importantly to guard ourselves from that person. I write because I want to make the reader aware of how easy and without provocation this could happen to any one of us.

The story I refer to caused me to instantly realize that I did not know my own son as well as I thought I did. My mind immediately filled with “who has he been hanging out with, why would he do that?” I doubted my own son. Every reader I spoke with who read that article gave me comments that told me they had a very disfavorable view of this person named in the article. I promptly explained the situation and every single person became quite agitated. Mistakes happen.

The mistake turns out to be someone (witness or law enforcement) wrote down a wrong number that corresponded

with my son’s registration plate, information that prematurely was put before the public’s eyes and the world was able to connect, in their minds, an innocent man with a crime committed 40 miles away from where he stood at that moment and even further from the implicated truck and expired plates. His signature on a document in Bridport, Vermont very close to the time of the incident and I believe time stamped proves his whereabouts. A bigger mistake was made by a representative of the newspaper taking information from the investigating Vermont State Police officer and running with it too soon.

Whether the witness or the officer got the plate number wrong the newspaper jumped the gun to publish a somewhat minor infraction with misinformation when the officer already obtained the facts many days before the article was published.

Negative attention was drawn to someone completely innocent of any allegations referred to in that article. The point I hope to make is that it could have been your name, my name or any other person’s name mentioned and how fragile the line is dividing us between paying for our own mistakes and paying a heavy price for someone else’s mistake.

I liken it to setting free the contents of a feather pillow in a wind storm and trying to gather them all back in. Impossible! It is impossible to get into everyone’s mind who read the story and tell them the facts. There will be people for years to come who will not trust this man thinking in the back of their mind he is a thief. I have intentionally left his name out to not add fuel to that fire since for years I’ve heard “where there’s smoke there’s fire.” Not always.

The paper has issued a correction. It’s a lesson to us all to make sure we get our facts straight and as hard as it may be, to not believe everything you read. Protect your precious good name, it is freely given at birth and it’s up to us to keep it that way.

Humane Society from page 1 The cost of the new addition and renovation was $1.12 million.

An invitation-only ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Friday, Aug. 24, at noon which will be followed by a public open house 1-4 p.m.

Located at 236 Boardman St. in Middlebury, the shelter was built in 1990 and originally designed to house 60 animals. Prior to construction the overcrowded space was shared by 140 cats, dogs, rabbits and hamsters.

“We are incredibly excited about the new facility which will allow us to better serve the animals and the community,” said Jackie Rose, ACHS’s executive director. “We are incredibly grateful to all who helped us make this project a reality.”

The new facility includes a reception area to welcome guests and potential adopters, an admission area which will provide privacy for persons needing to surrender their pet and the intake of stray or lost animals, an incoming area designated for all newly admitted animals, providing quiet space for new animals to adjust to the facility and be medically cleared for adoption, “meet and greet” rooms for potential adopters to play and become familiar with animals they are considering for adoption.

The annex also includes a medical quarantine area, an expanded medical examination room, a “Cat Land” feature housing (free range, cage-free rooms) and public viewing area for cats that are available for adoption, a “Dog Barn” offering housing (14 kennels) and public viewing area for dogs that are available for adoption, an education/conference room, a private bereavement room, office space for staff and volunteers with adequate furnishing and computers to allow for efficient daily operations, an expanded laundry and storage areas ACHS’ capital campaign leaders have raised funds through donations from private individuals, area businesses and fundraising events. ACHS will continue to solicit donations to cover the cost of construction.

The renovation and expansion was designed by Middlebury architect Thomas Warner.

Project management and general contractor services are provided by Jeremiah Beach Parker Restoration and Construction Management Corporation located in Shoreham.

New pavilion from page 1 “We have a very diverse forest here in the county,” he said.

“From up on the mountains—native spruce and balsam fir— to down in the valley—butternut, maple and red oak—Addison County is rich in species.”

Olson noted that several tree species, comfortable in the Champlain Valley, are straggler populations that extended from more temperate Mid-Atlantic forests in ancient times when the regional climate, overall, was warmer.

The new $1.1 million Addison County Humane Society annex will be formally opened to the public Aug. 24.

The new pavilion stands on a solid concrete slab that was poured in June, according to Olson. And the finishing touches of the buildings were being completed as late as Aug. 6, the day before the opening day of Field Days.

Inside the barnlike pavilion for Field Days, exhibitors displayed fact sheets, bumper stickers, reference and business cards. Exhibitors ranged from the U.S. Forest Service’s Middlebury Ranger District Office to A. Johnson and Co. of Bristol, and everyone in between.

While not identifying his favorite tree, per se, Olson did admit a fondness for Vermont’s majestic red oak.

“I have a table made of beautiful red oak wood from

Pawlett, Vt.,” Olson noted. “This table was handmade in 1796. I counted the tree rings on the table top—the wood came from an oak that was 300 years old in 1796. Red oak is a very long-lived tree in the wild. It can grow to giant size.”

While it’s rumored that Addison County may harbor some record-breaking red oaks, the recorded New England champion is in Connecticut. Located on Route 44, the Ashford, Conn., red oak’s trunk is 26 feet in girth.

Olson said the pavilion may open, now and then for special events, beyond the annual county fair dates. However, so far, no plans have been announced to open the building, again, until next year ’s Field Days.

Congressman supports employee privacy on social media sites

U.S. Rep. Peter Welch cosponsored legislation July 25 to curb the growing practice of employers requiring prospective or current employees, as a condition of employment, to provide access to password-protected social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter.

The Password Protection Act of 2012 (H.R. 5684) would prohibit compelling or coercing employees to provide access to data stored in private accounts.

“Employees have a legitimate expectation of privacy when using Facebook or Twitter. This legislation will prevent fishing expeditions into employees’ private lives,” Welch said. “While an employer may have a valid concern about the business impact of an employee’s online activity, demanding passwords and unfettered access to private accounts is an overthe-top solution.”

Recent news reports have highlighted a disturbing increase in the number of employers asking prospective employees to reveal usernames and passwords to social media accounts like Facebook. Some employers are demanding applicants, during job interviews, log into their accounts and allow the interviewer to browse their profile, acquaintances, and other information. Others are requiring passwords on job applications.

mantled, according to Vermont officials. They said the dam inhibits movement of wild brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout and other aquatic species through this reach of the Winooski.

The dam is deteriorating and its removal eliminates any risk to public safety. The safety of the dam came to light after Tropical Storm irene a year ago.

The objectives of the dismantling project are to reestablish the ability of fish and other aquatic organisms to freely move among habitats and tributaries, restore the river ’s continuity between Plainfield and Lower Cabot and eliminate any risk.

The project is funded through grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a Department of Environmental Conservation fund for Winooski River restoration projects, with additional resources contributed by the state.

Work on removing the dam began this week.The project should be completed in mid-September.

Removal target: Marshfield-8 Dam on the Winooski River.
