By Tony Hall As a rule, bureaucracies and genius are incompatible. A notable exception will be found in the New York State Department of Transportation and the Vermont Transportation Agency, which recently released plans to replace an 80-yearold bridge spanning Lake Champlain. Leading the team designing the new bridge is consultant Ted Zoli, a 2009 winner of a MacArthur Fellowship, commonly known as the genius award.

Among other things, the MacArthur Foundation cited Zoli’s sensitivity to the context in which his “elegant and enduring” bridges are built, and Zoli clearly appreciates the

MIDDLEBURY — A conversation at Middlebury Community Television six years ago led to a movie seen by viewers coast to coast today and over $10,000 raised for Afghan charities. Jody Bergedick, then community coordinator at MCTV, heard that Jill Vickers, a volunteer there, would be seeing old friends Vickers had served with in the Peace Corps in Afghanistan. Back in 2004, Bergedick realized that many Americans knew only

of terrorist camps in Afghanistan, a picture of Afghanistan that did not jive with Vickers’ memories of the place in the late 1960s.

She sent Vickers off to the reunion with the assignment to start taping the returned Peace Corps volunteers.

Thus a documentary of this all-female group’s experiences as smallpox vaccinators in remote areas of Afghanistan was born.

Ask Dr. Curtis Gross Chiropractor Q: Does chiropractic care help with severe cases of back and neck pain or is it only effective for the mild cases?

A: If there is a clear case of a herniated disc with debilitating pain along the associated pinched nerve, chiropractic care will probably not be very helpful. In this case I would recommend chiropractic care to attempt to alleviate some of the pain while medical intervention and probably surgery was scheduled. It is a common misconception that if pain is severe chiropractic care is not indicated. In fact, people with severe pain often respond very well in the chiropractic office. These patients often become strong advocates for chiropractic, as other, more invasive types of treatment became unnecessary. This patient is a true believer that chiropractic care should be tried first when problems arise. Don’t make the decision not to try chiropractic care because your pain seems too severe for chiropractic care. “the greatest wealth is health” Call 388-6376, mention this article and schedule an appointment for a FREE Evaluation and X-rays.

It’s time to repeal Title 32

I

s the Vermont State Constitution being eroded away?

Of the people, by the people—or is it now of the dollar by the dollar? Is open farmland in the state being appraised and taxed at more than can be generated by farming practices? The answer is yes.

If you have read the Vermont Constitution, which I assume many voters have, having taken the Freeman’s Oath, swearing to uphold the constitution.

I refer you to Chapter II, Section 61 of the current Vermont Constitution, which states, “As every freeman, to preserve his/her independence (if without sufficient estate) ought to have some profession, calling trade or farm , whereby he may honestly subsist.”

How about Chapter 1, Article 9 of the 1791 Vermont Constitution: “That every member of society hath a right to be protected in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, and therefore is bound to contribute his proportion towards the expense of that protection... but no part of any person’s property can be justly taken from him or applied to public uses, without his own consent.”

Here’s Chapter 1, Article 9 of the 1777 constitution: “No public tat, custom or contribution shall be imposed upon, or paid by, the people of this state except by law for that purpose; and before any law be made for raising it, the purpose for which any tax is to be raised ought to appear clear to the Legislature to be more service to the community, than the money would be if not collected; which being will observed, taxes can never be burdens.”

The current problem with Vermont’s constitution is Title 32 which is allowing land to be appraised not for what it is currently used for, or has always been used for, but its potential development value.

There used to be a legislative body in Vermont called the Council of Censors; it was designed as a check upon government. It was a mechanism through which the people could periodically review the actions of their elected and appointed officials. The Council of Censors recommended to the legislature the repealing of laws that are contrary to the principles of the constitution.

The bound-book records of the Council of Censors of the State of Vermont, published in 1991 by authority of James H. Douglas, secretary of state in Montpelier, is very informative of our rights and duties as free people of Vermont. I highly recommend you get a copy and read it. If any Eagle readers like our open farmland, you must take a stand now! Call your elected representative and demand that your voice and wishes be represented in Montpelier.

It is time to repeal Title 32. Vermont land needs to be appraised and taxed for what it is currently used for—and it may also be time to reinstate the Council of Censors.

The way of government is of the dollar. It cost $250. Just to make an appeal to the Vermont Supreme Court you incur lawyer fees and expert witness fees.

Perhaps some good lawyer out there might take an interest in the unjust nature of Title 32? It’s your state and home, too.

United we can make a difference in creating a fair and just society in Vermont,. Please get involved. Your voice can make a difference.

Ballon d’essai I

n an earnest effort—I’m trying really, really, hard—to stay au courant with, and au milieu de the elevated intellectual climate for which the gentry-left (plural noun) of Norwich, Vt., expect to be known and appreciated, I’ll characterize as, a ballon d’essai, the following quote from School Board member Geoffrey Vitt as reported in the Jan. 8 issue of the Norwich-area Valley News. Here it is: “…Cutting too much out of the budget could lead parents to send their children to private school, and… exacerbate school funding problems.”

If the trial balloon (ballon d’essai) symbolism dating from the Great Depression years, and the then-new-use of weather balloons, doesn’t work for you perhaps the more recent “let’s run it up the flagpole to see who salutes it” imagery—supposedly spawned in the Madison Avenue ad agency culture of the 1950s—will.

Either way, it’s a new tactic in the please-vote-for-ourtax-increasing- school-budget strategy in the annual campaign on this subject.

Until now, the argument has been couched in terms of “We’re doing wonderful and excellent things for the inadequately prepared children you’ve dumped on us. If you vote against our barely enlarged budget, over which we have little control, it’s because you’re too cheap and stingy, too intellectually challenged to comprehend and appreciate our efforts. So if you don’t vote ‘yes’ we’ll just bring it back iterum iterumque until you finally get it right.” Whew!

In Benson, Vt., in the mid-1990s, school officials brought it back a dozen times; it never gained voter acceptance and so the local school board and educrats went to the Vermont Legislature instead for approval. They got it! So much for the old rural Vermont legend of local control.

Unlike Benson, where the arrogant school board demanded, and got, higher-level Golden Dome adult supervision, in the burg of Norwich the tactic is a cost-threat: “Approve our spending or your taxes will go up even more because you’ve caused our enrollment to go down even more”.

In recent years, like most Vermont school districts, Norwich has responded to an enrollment down-trend with a staff up-trend.

On the assumption voiced by board member Mr. Vitt, that enrollment declines were caused by too-large classes, the Norwich average was actually over 13 in 2006. The board approved class size reduction to below 12 in 2008.

Last year ’s numbers aren’t available from the school report website, because the Vermont Ed Department has decided it would be imprudent to continue to furnish such data for public inspection.

Over the same years, enrollment has shrunk from 306 to

SATURDAY January 30, 2010 297, while teaching staff and instructional aides increased from 41.2 to 42.5, and the total budget went from $8.9MM to $13.3MM. That’s a 49 percent spending increase, which, interestingly, the board ascribes to a change in the Common Level of Appraisal—thus causing a 17 percent tax increase in the unusual absence of a proposed spending increase.

Clearly, the previous 49 percent spending boost wasn’t enough, in Mr. Vitt’s view, to prevent “driving students out of this school”.

And equally clearly, my view has been wrong all along.

I had (incorrectly, I now admit) ascribed Vermont’s socalled “brain-drain” of adults in the 25-44 age cohort, as documented by economist Art Woolf, to the pressures on younger members of the work force to flee the Green Mountain State in search of better career opportunity and pay; also the corollary (unjustified) assumption that, when such young adults leave, they take their children with them.

Now, under the Vitt thesis, I can clearly see my error: it has been the understandably dissatisfied third graders wanting out, even across state lines, of their maliciously overcrowded and underfunded classrooms; plus dragging their educationally insensitive and unwilling parents with them.

By extension, it’s been the dissatisfied 10k or so students, fleeing the under-spending Vermont schools and causing the enrollment drop from over 100k to just over 90k, which has caused the brain-drain, and not the State economic situation. And the brain-drain has happened in the public schools, not in the workplace. Who knew?

As you should expect, even a casual glance at the student test scores reveals the achievement superiority of Norwich grade-schoolers: on both Vermont DRA and NECAP tests, almost all scored “proficient” or better, well above State averages, but there’s still a few –in single-digit percentage-points-- who didn’t.

The spend-more point: the students were cruelly failed by the Marion W. Cross School in which, because of large class-size and grossly inadequate instructional investment, they were left to flounder. And they have statistical proof: from 2006 to 2008, as a result of board budgeting priorities, the percentage of spending allocated to “direct instruction” went from 69 to 61percent. The Common Level of Appraisal numbers weren’t even involved. For shame.

Driving tips from bus driver dad

M

y comments from last week, which were about the increasing rate people are driving off our interstate highway, contains a few of the many bad weather driving tips I feel qualified to pass on to you.

I feel qualified because in 35 years of driving in Vermont, I’ve not slid off the interstate. Not being cocky, just sayin’ so.

If you study and practice, meditate on the following thoughts and tips—you won’t necessarily always stay between the white lines, but you’ll be better equipped to try like hell.

When driving, try hard to stay focused. I do and attribute my ability to focus to the two notes listed below: 1. My Greyhound Bus driver dad (nicknamed “Dry Ice DeWees” by his peers), taught me to drive and instilled in me the importance of steadfast concentration.

2. There are two kinds of drivers: those who’ve crashed, and those who are going to crash. Carrying this creed helps remind me to keep practicing the first rule.

From approximately mid-October to late April, in less then half of one minute, Vermont’s interstate highway conditions can turn from 100 percent clear and dry, to 100 percent wet and slick with zero visibility. Always remember that and you’ll never let your guard down. Then, too, reserve a portion of your mind to house the following: “If I drive well within my ability and the parameters of which the present conditions allow for me to end up in the ditch, I’d have steer and aim for it.”

Am I suggesting keeping from driving into a ditch during a snowstorm can be done simply through the power of mind over matter? Not exactly.

Whenever possible, stay off the roads when they’re bad.

These days weathercasters forecast a month in advance— heed their warnings. Schedule your fun night out another time, and or, don’t schedule fun nights out, period. Most of you people who drive off the road are the type to complain about taxes. If you stay the heck home, you’ll save money and have more left to spend on your taxes, so you won’t feel the need to complain, and the less complaining you do the more relaxed you’ll be, which will free your spirit to the point that you’ll be more likely to want to stay home and enjoy the company of your spouse and children, thus keeping you off the roads. The knee bone is connected to the thigh bone, as staying home in bad weather is connected to not going off the road, is connected to… happily paying taxes?

Run an aggressive tread winter tire. They’re expensive, but so are those undies you soiled when you arrived at a stand-still, tire-side up, smashed against a rock ledge with a face full of powder blown there a blast from your bald-

all-seasons-sportin’ SUV’s side air bags. Winter tires!

While driving on the interstate with a gal I’m hoping to get friendly with later, I pull a little to the right and run over the rumble strip cut-outs on the shoulder for five seconds or so to try and jiggle her emotional sexual apparatus so’s just to get her at least thinking about it. Works most every time. Don’t forget too, rumble strips are where to run your right side tires when the direct path pavement gets icy or covered with snow. The rumble strips, aside from being an aphrodisiac can provide sturdy purpose to your vehicle’s traction.

I’ll say though, if visibility is at all sketchy, stay the hang off of the shoulder as to not bash into a disabled car.

Man O’ man, you bang into a stopped car on the shoulder going seventy miles an hour, the next most interesting thing that happens regarding you would be your cat’s behavior while she tries to figure out where the heck her master is.

Which reminds me: stopping totally due to road conditions is never recommended. If you are stationary on the road you are a sitting duck. Stop completely only if you have to because of a flat tire or engine failure. If conditions are extremely poor regarding traction or visibility (Visibility is generally better than you might think. Gauge it by how far away you estimate a car is when you first spot it’s lights. But don’t hang your hat on that rule, use it only to bolster your confidence in allowing you to drive safely, not faster), try your best to at least keep crawling along a mile or three and hour. That way if someone does ram into you, your forward inertia will minimize the impact, and, creeping along will assure you will at some point finally arrive at your destination, which of course is better than not arriving at all.

It’s nearly time I wrap this up and I’ve not yet touched on the dastardliest of road conditions. So, next week’s column will be full of thoughts about detecting and operating safely through the many situations that occur related to— ice.

Starksboro receives ‘Park-and-Ride’ funding

By Alice Dubenetsky newmarketpress@denpubs.com STARKSBORO — Vermont’s ride-sharing and public transportation program is being considered by many Vermont towns, where people often have a long commute to and from work. Now the Town of Starksboro has announced its receipt of an $8,500 taxpayer funded grant from the 2010 Municpal Park-and-Ride Grant Program through the Vermont Agency of Transportation to fully fund a Park and Ride.

Selectboard member Peter Marsh said he expects the project to be completed this summer.

The new lot will be located behind the Starksboro Town Office and will provide a minimum of 10 spaces.

Along with the parking surface the Starksboro design includes lighting, drainage, traffic flow and landscaping.

Retailer, VPR are ‘team green’ The Pledge Central membership drive to support Vermont Public Radio (VPR) is held three times per year. All sustaining members and pledge donors are automatically entered into a drawing to win a prize donated by sponsoring business partners. In October sustaining VPR member Lisa Gibbons of Burlington won a $2,000 gift certificate donated by Gordon’s Window Décor.

Design consultant Susan Garrett went to Gibbon’s home to discuss the options, benefits and details of selecting EcoSmart Insulating Cellular Shades™ for her windows. Each window was measured and each shade was custom made on location at the Gordon’s Window Décor factory in Essex Junction. The shades were installed just before Christmas.

“We love our new EcoSmart shades and are so thankful to Gordon’s for their generosity and their support of VPR which we value so much. Our rooms feel warmer at night and we love the clean sleek look of our windows now. The top down bottom up mechanisms are easy to operate and allow for the right balance of light and privacy.

Richmond gallery features photos by local couple When people hear of the name Scott Funk, they usually think of the reverse mortgage guy or Aging in Place advocate. Few know he has been taking pictures for over 40 years, exhibiting his photographs in venues as different as Burlington and San Quentin Prison.

His subjects have ranged from the deserts of California to the covered bridges of New England.

Now, Funk’s work joins that of his wife, Kelly, in a new gallery in Richmond. Gallery 160 is housed in their Victorian home on East Main Street (Route 2). The house offers a remarkable setting with stained and leaded glass windows and a dramatic entrance featuring a fireplace with wooden columns.

Their promise of pictures of Vermont and beyond is more than fulfilled.

Along with the expected shots of fall

leaves and the Round Church are photographs of New Orleans at night and puffins in flight. The latter is one of Scott’s, 5 x 3? feet in size. Contrast that with Kelly’s delicate 2 x 2 inch photograph of a butterfly.

A few pieces hang in the foyer, but most are divided between two main rooms. Funk’s pictures are large, most are printed on canvas, and fill the East Gallery. His approach to selling his work is unusual for a photographer, offering the originals as limited editions of one or two prints. “This protects the collector ’s investment while requiring me to be more productive,” he explains.

The West Gallery features Kelly’s work, which is more intimate. Her subjects are most often of the natural world; the style is more like portraiture than landscape or documentary pho-

tography. Works are exhibited in rescued frames which is only part of the couples’ commitment to keeping things as green as possible.

Along with original works ready for hanging, photocards and matted prints are available. Custom work is also done, but Kelly is quick to remind that “while shopping is never discouraged, viewing for its own sake is always welcomed.” The couple hope Gallery 160 will become both a way to share their art and also a resource for the community. They want to remain familyfriendly and church and school groups are encouraged to arrange special visits.

This will be the town’s first art gallery. Open house hours are scheduled Feb. 4-7, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

On the shore of a frigid sea Students on dean’s list U

nlike Earth’s shorelines, the alien shorelines of Saturn’s big moon Titan are lapped by an ultracold liquid hydrocarbon sea, perhaps liquid ethane—that’s enough hydrocarbon material to crack and refine into fuel for multiple planetary civilizations, using combustion engines, for many thousands of years.

We can’t really call Titan’s ethane a “fossil fuel”—it’s more like a cosmic fuel since low temperature hydrocarbon compounds appear to abound throughout the universe. Digital images transmitted to Earth from the unmanned Cassini spacecraft's flyby of Titan showed clear evidence of a hydrocarbon lapped coastline in the moon's southern hemisphere.

According to NASA's Carolina Martinez, "Hints that this area was once wet, or currently has liquid present, are evident."

"We've been looking for evidence of oceans or seas on Titan for some time. This radar data is among the most telling evidence so far for a shoreline," said Steve Wall, radar deputy team leader from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.

Cassini’s amazing pictures reveal a shoreline dividing two regions roughly 1,060 by 106 miles.

"This is the area where liquid or a wet surface has most likely been present, now or in the recent past,” said Wall.

"Titan probably has episodic periods of rainfall or massive seepages of liquid from the ground."

"We also see a network of channels that run across the bright terrain, indicating that fluids, probably liquid hydrocarbons, have flowed across this region," said Ellen Stofan, Cassini’s radar expert.

The brightness patterns in the dark area indicate that it may once have been flooded with liquid that may now have partially receded. Bay-like features also lead scientists to speculate that the bright-dark boundary is most likely a shoreline, Martinez said.

Larry Soderblom with the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, Ariz., said, "It looks as though fluid flowed in these channels, cutting deeply into the icy crust of Titan.

Some of the channels extend over 100 kilometers (60 miles). Some of them may have been fed by springs, while others are more complicated networks that were likely filled by rainfall."

According to a NASA news release about the recent

Cassini discoveries, Titan has an environment somewhat similar to that of Earth—at least long before biological activity forever altered the composition of Earth's atmosphere. The major difference in the case of Titan is the absence of liquid water and its very low surface temperature.

What's in the Sky: This weekend, in the western sky after sunset, treat yourself to a fabulous view of the star cluster M44 (aka NGC 2632) also known as Praesepe, the Beehive Cluster. It is easily visible to the naked eye. Astronomers can’t easily pinpoint M44’s distance but it’s between 160 to 187 parsecs (520-610 light years) distant.

THE EAGLE - 7

Appalachian Spring in winter

By Michael Lemon newmarketpress@denpubs.com

because the dance seemed to be developed separately from the music, and as with much of the dance that used to be presented in FlynnSpace and even earlier on the main stage with the audience seated on the stage also the juxtaposition of the dance being clearly the only relationship that existed between the two, the music and the dance, being a matter of chance. In this case, and with live musicians, I am not convinced that such an approach can be successful. Also unclear to this reviewer was the relevancy of the music to the dance or the dance to the music.

What also was distinctive about the performance was made necessary by the size of the stage in UVM’s Redstone Recital Hall, the sections of the orchestra were arranged in six discrete units arranged around the stage(an arrangement which was more pleasing to the ear balance-wise than I have ever noticed it to be). The dance took place in and around the units.

The choreography by Byrne for the Copeland had to be judged by this reviewer based on the performance itself, since he does not have a knowledge of the original choreography.

There was a certain amount of structural imbalance: the orchestra, for the second half, was seated on stage right, and most of his days

Had I read the program notes less cursorily, I might have found a better integration between the dancers and the music. As it was, I did not see the relevance of some of the dance vocabulary to the music, and was more puzzled than anything, lapsing finally into the familiarity of the music instead of trying to square the choreographer ’s vision with the composers efforts.

Both nights the show was sold out.

The Burlington Chamber Orchestra continues to be a major gift to the audiences in Burlington. I., for one, am repeatedly grateful for an orchestra of this caliber ’s availability locally. It is a real pleasure to go to one of their concerts.

Bridport Central School is holding events to raise funds for the school playground. Currently, we are hosting a Basket Raffle which will be held on Saturday, February 13th, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the Bridport Central School. For those of you who are not familiar with a basket raffle or as some may call it a Penny Fair, here are some of the highlights. Local businesses as well as community members are asked to donate a basket with items in it from their business. The baskets are put on display, each with their own collection bag. Participants pay $5.00 upon entry and receive a sheet with several tickets on it. That person then takes their little tickets and goes around and places them into the various paper bags. They can place one ticket in each bag or place all their tickets in one bag. They are also given the opportunity to purchase additional tickets at a cost of $2.50 per sheet which they would use in the same way. At 1 p.m. the tickets are drawn to see who wins each basket.

Some themes from previous raffles include: candles, movies & popcorn, death by chocolate (lots of different candy), cat treats & toys, dog treats & toys, game night, hot chocolate with mugs, spa baskets, gift certificates, pasta night items, etc. We hope to have 50 – 100 baskets on display. In addition to the baskets we will also have refreshments available for sale and a 50/50 cash raffle. If you’re interested in donating a basket and can’t have it to the school

by February 10th give me a call and I’ll arrange to have it picked up. If you have any questions, please call Alicia at 802-758-2331, ext. 206 or email me at afallon@acsu.k12.vt.us.

Raffle to benefit Bridport school

some of the movements at different tempi and for different effect. One of the most notable themes was a single-note that created an arch of volume and intensity that reversed itself back to the original volume and intensity. This particular piece of thematic material somehow underscored both the sadness and the implacability of winter. I was even more favorably impressed by this score of Hopkins’ when I heard it the second time. The most amazing thing about the work is that it accomplishes others stated goal: that it should perform the task of relating the work to Copeland’s score without just being a stylistic reworking. Hopkins accomplish this task to my complete satisfaction (on the Saturday evening, the second performance, many things such as lighting for the dancers was present, and that aspect of the production was more satisfactory).

The performance by the BCO of the score for Appalachian Spring was polished and demonstrated the lyricism as well as the sharp angularity of contrasting parts of the score.

The choreography created

by Besaw for the first work were, like the music,reflective of winter. How integrated they were with the music presented another problem to this reviewer,

T

he Burlington Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Hopkins, joined with UVM’s Department of Dance to present two evenings (Jan. 22-23) for which the BCO provided the music and choreographers Paul Besaw and Clare Byrne provided the choreography: an original work

by Hopkins entitled Now Winter Nights Enlarge, the opening line or title of a poem by Thomas Campion and Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring.

Hopkins has written a score that can stand alone, and having heard the first performance I found myself wanting to hear a second performance. My instincts were correct: this is a fine work for a chamber orchestra that should find its way into chamber orchestra programs all across the country.

The themes are established in the first and most lively section of the store and then are heard again in

MUHS Tigers best Lakers at home

By Frederick Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Tigers jumped out to a 257 halftime lead last Friday night in Middlebury, and then held on to defeat the visiting Colchester Lakers 42-32 in girls high school basketball action. Katie Ritter and Nicole Brown paced the Tiger’s offense by scoring twelve and eleven points respectively. Paige LaPlant scored nine points to lead Colchester. The Tigers improved to 10-4 with the win, while the Lakers remained winless at 0-12.

The same night in Hinesburg the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks led the hometown North Country Falcons 24-13 at the break, and they didn’t let up in the second half. By the end of the third quarter CVU had extended their lead to 37-19, and went on to claim an impressive 59-30 win. The Redhawks spread the wealth on offense, displaying a well balanced scoring attack that was led by Karlee Evans with just ten points. North Country,

which fell to 5-8 on the year with the loss, was led by Emma Joslin with seven points.

The Vergennes Commodores and Mount Abraham Eagles girls teams were also in action last Friday evening. But unlike the Tigers and Redhawks neither one could pull out a win.

In Bristol, the hometown Mount Abraham Eagles fell to 5-9 on the year when they dropped a heart breaker to the visiting Mount Mansfield Cougars 29-25. The Cougars, who improved to 7-7 with the win, were led by Hannah Nichols with nine points.

Mount Abraham’s Jen Loyer led all scorers with 14 points.

In Vergennes Brittaney Rice scored 21 points and had a dozen steals to record a double-double while leading her Milton Yellow Jackets to a 62-42 thumping of the hometown Vergennes Commodores. Stephanie Bull added 16 points while Tess Quintin contributed another 10 for the Yellow Jackets, who remained unbeaten at 13-0 with the convincing win. The Commodores, who fell to 4-10 on the year, were led by Allison Provost with 14 points.

CVU Rolls Past Bulldogs Hannah Johnson and K.K. Logan scored two goals apiece to lead their Champlain Valley Union Redhawks past the Burr and Burton Bulldogs 8-4 in girls high school hockey action last Saturday in South Burlington. Molly Howard contributed a goal and four assists to the victory, while Alyx Rivard, Amanda Armell and Sasha Gunther added single goals to complete CVU’s scoring. In the net Nicole Sisk made 14 saves to preserve the victory. Jennifer Coppin pounded in three goals and Brooke Sabol added one for the Bulldogs.

The game would have turned out much worse had it not been for the excellent performance of Burr and Burton’s goalie Thalia Berard. Berard kept the game relatively close by making an amazing 41 saves.

In boys action the same day the results weren’t as favorable for the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks. J.T. Begnoche scored two goals and goalie Chase Congreves made 18 saves to lead their Essex Hornets to a 4-0 shutout over the Redhawks, in South Burlington. Kyle Peckham and Kurt Simendinger added single goals while Tom Dvorak contributed two assists for the Hornets, who improved to 12-2-1 with the win. Mark Albertson made 24 saves for CVU, who fell to 8-4-1 on the season.

Beeman honored by NESCAC MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College men’s swimmer Schuyler Beeman (Guilford, Conn.) has been named the NESCAC Performer of the Week. Beeman won the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events during a dual meet with Union this past weekend, posting times of 21.90 and 48.57, respectively. He was also the lead-off leg on the winning 200-yard freestyle relay team, as his time of 21.87 proved to be the best of the season in the 50-yard freestyle.

Bus Service

Toy train display to close

From page 1 provide morning and evening bus service from Hinesburg.

The first step in the process is voter approval at March’s Town Meeting that would allow the town to become a member of CCTA, giving them a seat on the CCTA Board of Directors, and enabling CCTA and ACTR to pursue federal and state funds on their behalf.

The town would pay 20 percent of the total cost of service which would be $33,673 for a full year, plus a one-time expense of $37,000 representing their local share of the cost of two 28passenger buses. Passenger fares have not been determined yet, but are generally in the $2-4.00 range for a one-way trip.

Hinesburg Rides Coordinator Karla Munson said the bus runs could be underway by 2011, if the townspeople approve the project. She is hoping for a good turnout at the informational meeting on Feb. 3 so they can present all of the facts and figures , including the cost to taxpayers, which she said would be approximately $14.00 increase on the tax bill for a $200,000 house. The proposal will then be discussed and voted on from the floor at this year ’s annual Town Meeting. “It will also benefit surrounding towns, who can drive to Hinesburg and park in our Park n’ Ride and take the bus to Burlington or Bristol,” Munson said, adding that it will also mitigate some of the traffic congestion in Hinesburg’s center, reduce wear and tear on the roads and reduce carbon emissions.

MIDDLEBURY — There are just a few days left to see the HO-scale electric train display designed and operated by the Midd-Vermont Train Club at the Sheldon Museum in Middlebury. The display is on view through Saturday, Jan. 30. Also, the Train Club is looking for new volunteers to help construct the layout and operate the trains next year. If you are interested, call the Sheldon at 388-2117. Museum hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.

Starksboro Receives Park and Ride Funding Similar ride-sharing and public transportation programs have been considered by many Vermont towns, where people often have a long commute to and from work. The Town of Starksboro recently received an $8,500 grant from the 2010 Municpal Park-and-Ride Grant Program through the Vermont Agency of Transportation to fully fund a Park and Ride. Selectboard member Peter Marsh said he expects the project to be completed this summer. The new lot will be located behind the Town Office and will provide a minimum of 10 spaces. Along with the parking surface the design includes lighting, drainage, traffic flow and landscaping.

caster Redevelopment Corp.

The annual BSC Excellence Awards are judged by a panel of industry experts and companies like Connor Homes were given praise for the quality of their submittals.

“It is truly an honor to receive the BSC Excellence Award for three homes in the Excellence in Home Design categories,” said Michael C. Connor, CEO. “At Connor Homes, we strive to

provide innovative, practical housing solutions using Millbuilt technologies and traditional architectural design and detailing. This award shows the hard work and vision of the Connor Homes’ dedicated employees.

Where do all those coupons come from?

Q

: “I have been following your column, and a lot of what you have discussed I have implemented.

You often talk about the number of coupons you use. Where and how are you obtaining so many duplicate coupons? I know I can print out multiple copies on-line from some of the coupon Web sites.”

A: There are a few reasons I have a good amount of coupons available to me when a good sale comes along. I save all of my newspaper coupon inserts in their entirety each week. Many coupons often repeat every few weeks or months, especially for common items like cereal, bread, juice and personal care products. One of the most common myths about coupons is that they all expire quickly. But the truth is that most of them have, on average, a threemonth window for redemption; others may not expire for nine months or more.

When a sale comes along, I usually have multiple coupons for a single item simply because I’ve saved all of my inserts. When the item goes on sale, I may be using coupons from several different “appearances” of that coupon in the inserts. Some may be several weeks old while others may be months old or even older. I will save my coupon inserts until everything inside expires. Doing this, it’s possible to build what amounts to a library of coupons at our disposal. Then, when we need them, those coupons are waiting to be looked up, cut out and used.

As you mentioned, most printable Internet coupons do allow multiple prints of the same coupon. The average print limit is two per computer, but I will always try to click the “back” button in my Web browser and print again until I receive the message that the print limit for the coupon has been reached. It’s important to do this because companies do offer higher print limits at times. I can recall a major cereal manufacturer that offered $1 coupons with a print limit of 14! That was a high limit and it allowed me to really stock up on that item at a low price because I had so many coupons.

Along the same lines, having as many coupons as possible definitely helps! People often ask how many newspapers I get. I currently have two different newspapers delivered on Sunday, a smaller, local paper and our big Chicago newspaper, because the coupons inserts in the two newspapers are different. In some areas, papers may offer “double inserts” for a very low rate. You might also see if your local newspaper offers a reduced rate to get a second, identical newspaper delivered on the day the coupons ap-

pear. I did this recently after numerous people in my Super-Couponing classes told me they were able to add a second copy of the large Sunday newspaper to their existing subscription for just 50 cents a week. Fifty cents is a small price to pay for double the coupons. On a good day, a coupon insert may contain $75 worth of coupons or more!

If you go through your coupon inserts when they arrive, take note of any high-value coupons. We’ve recently seen $5 and $10 dog food coupons in the inserts! If your dog eats that variety of food, it may well be worth spending a dollar or two to pick up a second copy at the newsstand that week, just to get another copy of that high-value coupon. And you’ll have doubles of all the other coupons, too.

Lastly … get creative! I have a friend who treats herself to a cappuccino on Sunday afternoons at her favorite coffeehouse shortly after lunchtime and offers to “clean up” the restaurant each week for them. She then takes home all the Sunday papers (and coupons) that numerous patrons

have left behind! One person’s trash may very well be your means to a lower grocery bill. © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

Tax hike for property owners

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — In addition to severe efforts statewide to cut budgets and eliminate needless spending, in every sector from state government to small business, it’s now the Rutland School Board’s turn to reduce costs.

Last week, 11 members of the Rutland School Board moved to eliminate more than $600,000 from a projected $45.6 million-plus budget drafted for FY 2011. A budget of $45,009,704 was approved by board members after the board’s 6-5 vote split.

On the RSB’s chopping block are— •Classroom supplies ($77,000).

•School band equipment.

•Athletic supplies.

•Health insurance ($100,000 reduction) •Building maintenance ($404,296).

•A dramatics course taught at Rutland High School.

•More than a dozen teacher “coaching” stipends used to assist students with math and reading needs.

•Student passes to local ski and snowboard trails ($10,000).

The newly revised budget will result in a 15-cent hike in Rutland’s residential property tax rate. City officials said it means collecting$1.26 per $100 of property value accessed to $1.41.

If you are a Rutland homeowner—with a residence valued at $200,000—you will pay an additional $300 or more in property taxes.

The proposed school budget must be approved by registered voters during the City of Rutland’s traditional Town Meeting Day deliberations March 2.

Zoli From page 1 natural, historical and social context of the bridge at Crown Point.

“There’s no more important structure within the built environment of that region,” says Zoli. “It’s a part of people’s lives. So much local sentiment is attached to it.”

Zoli is familiar with that sentiment in part because he monitors the residents’ email messages that arrive at his firm’s offices in Kansas City. He also participated in a series of December public meetings in Ticonderoga on the two states’ plans to demolish and replace the bridge.

But the origins of Zoli’s appreciation of the Champlain Valley lie much deeper than those relatively casual encounters with the region would suggest.

He was born in Glens Falls and raised in Queensbury, attending local schools before going away to Hotchkiss. He went to summer camp at Dudley, in Westport, a few miles north of the bridge. When he was growing up, his family kept a boat near the bridge in Vermont...

He comes from a family of engineers and roadbuilders, whose firm was selected by New York State to help build the Adirondack Northway.

Zoli says he spent the first months of his life in a trailer near Schroon Lake, when that section of the Northway was under construction.

Zoli’s appreciation of the original Lake Champlain Bridge and its designer, Charles M. Spofford, is no less deep.

In addition to being a designer of bridges, Zoli teaches bridge design at Columbia and at Princeton, from which he graduated in 1988.

“The Lake Champlain bridge set a high standard for any new bridge that replaces it; in some respects, it should be as important as the original,” he says.

With the Lake Champlain Bridge, Zoli says, Spofford liberated the steel truss from its traditional function as a railroad bridge.

The 2,184-ft-long truss linking Crown Point and West Addison, Vermont is “nearly parabolic” in shape, continuous rather than segmented, and constructed with a “maximum navigational window” to permit steamboats to pass underneath.

Following construction of the bridge (for which Spofford was awarded a gold medal by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1930, the year the bridge was completed), “hundreds of continuous truss bridges were built; it ushered in a whole new typology of bridge engineering,” said Zoli.

Spofford, however, did not expect the bridge’s piers to deteriorate as quickly as they did.

“We’re not here designing a new bridge because of some flaws in the truss, but because of the piers,” said Zoli. “Spofford used concrete containing tailings from local iron ore mines. When he tested the concrete at MIT, we surmise that he found it to be twice as strong as conventional concrete and concluded that the piers wouldn’t require steel re-enforcement.”

Time and ice took their toll on the piers, Zoli said. “Once the process of erosion starts, it’s very difficult to stop. Once it gets going, it goes quickly.”

After being found to be unsafe because of the condition of the piers, New York and Vermont decided to close the bridge in October.

In December, Zoli unveiled the designs for six possible bridges, any one of which could feasibly replace he old one.

The recommendation of a Public Advisory Committee chaired by Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, as well as the favorite of the public, is a design for a bridge known as a Modified Network Tied Arch Bridge, a steel structure with an arch along the main span that evokes the appearance of Spofford’s 1930 bridge.

“The design replicates the truss in a modern way, but with safety enhanced,” says Zoli.

“Multiple redundancies in the design make this bridge significantly safer than the existing structure. If one component fails the bridge isn't at risk of collapse,” said Zoli.

The new bridge will also be wider, with six-foot shoulders for bicycles and a sidewalk for pedestrians.

The design is based on one developed by Norwegian engineer Per Tveit in the 1950s, now a friend and colleague of Zoli’s.

Zoli says he had no interest in introducing radically new concepts into his designs for a Lake Champlain bridge.

“I have a very strong sense of engineering as an incremental process; one that’s evolutionary rather than revolutionary. We communicate our ideas to other engineers through these built structures,” he said.

The test of a successful bridge design is necessarily the safety of those who use it, Zoli says, and the problems posed by vulnerable structures have occupied his imagination since the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

“Engineers learn from events, and what 9-11 taught us was that we have to design for unforeseen events; that’s what I’m interested in: designing for things we can’t anticipate,” he says.

That interest led Zoli to develop new lightweight, blastresistant coverings for an array of construction applications, and helped earn him the MacArthur fellowship.

“In an era of aging infrastructure and catastrophic structural collapses, Zoli is safeguarding vulnerable links in the nation’s highway system and developing design principles for the construction of robust, new landmarks in the United States and across the globe,” the MacArthur Foundation stated when announcing that Zoli was among the winners of the 2009 awards.

Among those “robust, new landmarks” may well be the next Lake Champlain bridge, one that could be, as Zoli said, “in some respects, as important as the original.”
