BRISTOL — Have you wondered how wood is harvested, processed and used for ener gy in Addison County? On Saturday, April 30, you can join forest experts, r esearchers and involved neighbors on a day-long tour exploring woody biomass energy from harvest to processing to use.

The tour starts in Bristol at 8:30 a.m. with a discussion of woody biomass supply and demand and an intr oduction to the For est Guild’s new biomass r etention guidelines for pr otecting the ecological values of forests during harvests.

The tour then heads out to visit r ecent harvest sites and a processing facility, eating lunch along the way. The day will conclude with a tour of Mt. Abraham High School’s wood chip heating facility in Bristol and a gr oup discussion.

Partners in the event include the University of Vermont, Vermont Family Forests, and the Forest Guild. The field tour is part of a larger community-university partnership focused on developing a better understanding of local wood ener gy options in the Mad River Valley and Five-T own Forest ar ea of Addison County. The field trip is presented in coor dination with the Woody Biomass Ener gy Resear ch Symposium for the Northern For est taking place in Burlington at the University of V ermont April 28-29.

At the Symposium, r esearchers from the northeastern U.S. and Canada will pr esent findings on multiple aspects of using woody biomass for energy. The tour is limited to 45 people.

Lake Champlain bridge closure inspires book Crown Point poet tells story

By Fred Herbst

fred@denpubs.com

CROWN POINT, N.Y. — When the Lake Champlain Bridge linking Cr own Point and Addison, Vt., closed in 2009, it was mor e than a structural failure. It was a human tragedy.

That’s the pr emise of a book written by Crown Point author Jean Arleen Breed.

“The Loss of the Lake Champlain Bridge: A Traveler ’s Story” uses poetry and color photographs to chr onicle the human story of those coping with the sudden loss of a vital link between New York State and Vermont.

“I never want to forg et the impact this bridge closing had on thousands of people in the Champlain V alley,” Br eed said. “Lives changed, businesses str uggled and people were tested.

“I never want to forget the courage and conviction of these people as they watched their businesses str uggle to survive, their farms barely hang on and the worker commutes turn into this daily four -hour odyssey,” she said.

“This story tells about those people and what they did to defend their right to continue life as they knew it for the last 80 years. The bridge was built, a way of life was built ar ound that

bridge and then — suddenly — that bridge was gone and our entire valley was impacted.”

The Lake Champlain Bridge was immediately closed in October 2009 when state transportation of ficials, without warning, declar ed it unsafe. The bridge served about 3,000 vehicles a day, meaning people who used the bridge daily to r each their jobs, health car e facilities, grocery stor es and other necessities wer e forced to take detours lasting up to four hours.

The closing led to the closure of businesses on both sides of the lake and crippled tourism.

Breed was one those who used the bridge and was forced to drive the 100-mile detour.

“I never want to for get driving a thousand miles a week to work, getting in that long, dark line of cars at 4 on snowy winter mornings, seeing the ferry crew get out the life jackets on the little ferry because the ice had such a grip on all of us, spinning out my Jeep on icy oads r and thanking God we didn’t hit a phone pole or a tree and we could be her e to drive another day ,” Breed said.

A new bridge is now being constructed. It is scheduled to open this October.

At the opening cer emonies for the new bridge Breed will read “The Journey,” the final poem in the book.

The Eagle’s TRIVIA Question Of The Week!

VT Made Live Edge Table

MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin and utility leaders Monday , April 18 hailed the Public Service Board’s approval of a 26-year contract with Hydro-Québec, a key element of Vermont’s energy future.

“I am glad that the Public Service Boar d approved this agreement for clean, reliable, and favorably priced power for V ermonters,” Gov. Shumlin said. “Hydr o-Québec has been an important partner in V ermont for many years, and will continue to be a key player in Vermont’s energy future.”

The PSB order, issued April 15, is the culmination of a more than a year-long process that began with the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Central Vermont Public Service (NYSE-CV), Gr een Mountain Power and Hydr o-Québec in March 2010. The MOU led to a contract last August, now appr oved by the PSB, which will benefit not only CVPS and GMP customers, but people across Vermont.

“We are very pleased that the Public Service Boar d has validated our belief that this will be a very favorable contract for V ermont,” CVPS Pr esident Larry Reilly and GMP President Mary Powell said in a joint statement. “This appr oval ensur es a lar ge, clean, renewable baseload ener gy source in our portfolios that will be competitively priced and reliable.”

The PSB concurr ed. “The pr oposed HQ (agreement) would pr ovide a number of benefits to the V ermont utilities and their ratepayers,” the board said. “First, over the term of the contract the price of power is expected to be competitive with or favorable to market prices, and is less expensive than currently available sour ces of power with similar characteristics. Second, the price for this power is expected to be mor e stable than purely market-based pur chases due to the formula for determining its future price.

“This formula is based not only on market prices for power but also on inflation, and includes a buffering feature that limits yearto-year price fluctuations,” the boar d said.

“Third, the Vermont utilities will receive environmental attributes associated with the energy deliver ed by HQUS into the New

England market in an amount matching the Vermont utilities’ pur chases under the HQ PPA and reflecting at least 90 percent hydroelectricity, which Vermont law recognizes as renewable.”

Under the agr eement, Vermont will purchase up to 225 megawatts of ener gy starting in November 2012 and ending in 2038.

Hydro-Québec’s generating fleet is 98 percent hydr oelectric. The agr eement includes a price-smoothing mechanism that will shield customers fr om volatile market prices.

The price will start at appr oximately 5.8 cents per kilowatt-hour.

Vermont has purchased energy from Quebec for decades. In the early 1980s, the first longer-term power deals wer e established.

The curr ent V ermont-Hydro-Québec contract, which was signed on Dec. 4, 1987, phases out largely in 2016. The current contract has proven to be a sound agre ement for Vermont, helping GMP and CVPS maintain clean portfolios and rates that are among the lowest in New England.

The new ener gy contract was negotiated between CVPS, GMP and H.Q. Energy Services (U.S.) Inc., an indir ect wholly owned subsidiary of Hydr o-Québec. Other V ermont utilities that have confirmed their intent to pur chase ener gy under this agr eement are Vermont Public Power Supply Authority, Vermont Electric Cooperative Inc., Vermont Marble Power Division of Omya Industries Inc., the Town of Stowe Electric Department and the Burlington Electric Department.

DearVermonters: By now I am sure you have read or heard about our recent lawsuit against Vermont for trying to prevent the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Station from operating beyond March 21, 2012, the date that marks the end of the original 40-year operating license provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Our lawsuit follows the NRC’s recent announcement that it has extended Vermont Yankee’s operating license for another 20 years. The NRC’s action came after a thorough and exhaustive five-year safety and environmental review of the plant.

I know that Vermonters are deeply divided on the subject of nuclear power. Many of you are supporters of VY, and we appreciate that. Others of you feel strongly that the plant should not continue to operate and, while we do not agree, we respect your views and your right to express them.

For those of you expecting that the remainder of this letter will attempt to convince the skeptics to change their mind about nuclear power or Vermont Yankee, today is not the day for that debate.

Let me begin by explaining Vermont Yankee’s recent history. In 2002, our company, Entergy, purchased the power station.

When we did, we entered into an agreement with the State that we would secure a Certificate of Public Good from the Vermont Public Service Board if we wanted to extend the license of the plant beyond March of 2012.

That was not a concern to us back in 2002. The Public Service Board is an independent, expert body that uses impartial professional judgment to make such decisions and its decisions can be reviewed by a court.

But four years later in 2006, Vermont passed a law that prohibited the Public Service Board from issuing a Certificate of Public Good to Vermont Yankee unless the General Assembly first approved the plant’s continued operation. Each of the bills introduced over the past year to grant such approval has either been voted down or allowed to languish. Whether it’s a “no” vote, or no vote at all, the effect is the same. The legislature has denied Entergy the opportunity to secure a Certificate of Public Good from the Public Service Board.

This is obviously entirely different from what we agreed to back in 2002. We agreed to a process in which an independent expert agency would decide Vermont Yankee’s future based on evidence and facts developed through an impartial process with the possibility, if necessary, of court review. We did not agree to a process involving the Legislature, which is inherently political.

The state appears to believe that inserting the General Assembly into the approval process was within its rights. We believe it substantially changed our agreement with the State and deprived us of certain critical rights that we relied upon in purchasing the plant. This change is also inconsistent with United States Supreme Court precedent that held that a state cannot involve itself in areas of licensing, operation and radiological safety of nuclear power plants.

Under existing law (then and now), the courts have consistently held that only the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has exclusive authority over nuclear plant operations and radiological safety issues. In fact, in 1983, in a case involving the State of California and a local utility, the Supreme Court specifically ruled that a state could not overrule federal regulatory decisions in these areas. It is the responsibility of the NRC to make these technical judgments on an apolitical basis, based on sound evidence and study as presented by some of the foremost nuclear experts in the world. The state appears to believe it has such authority also.

What do you do when you have this kind of disagreement with a state? The first choice for a company like ours is always to try to work it out, to find some kind of meeting of the minds. That is

The Eagle - 3

what we have tried to do—and we have worked at it for over two years. But, in the end the disagreement proved impossible to compromise. Some disagreements are like that—there is no “half-way” that both sides can agree on—particularly in circumstances like this, where the disagreement is rooted in firmly held desired outcomes on both sides.

What we have done now is what we are supposed to do—avail ourselves of the process provided in a nation of laws to resolve disagreements like this one. We mean no disrespect by this action. We seek only a resolution of our disagreement with the state and we will abide by the results of the judicial process.

Now that this matter is before the court, we are obliged to say less, rather than more, until the dispute is resolved. But you will surely hear harsh criticisms from some of our critics, including some public officials, who have been engaged in a war of words for sometime against Entergy and Vermont Yankee. It is seldom appropriate or productive to respond in kind, and we will not. We look forward to the full, fair, and independent review that we expect to receive from the courts that consider our case.

And let me note that many of our critics have been thoughtful and civil. They have written to ask me with genuine conviction, why Entergy will not simply respect the wishes of those Vermonters who do not want a nuclear plant in their state? But we believe, with equally strong conviction, that the authority to decide whether a nuclear plant should be allowed to operate resides under the U.S. laws and Constitution exclusively with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the federal government’s body of experts who make their decision on an apolitical, scientific basis. While it may appear self-serving, it is in the best interest of Entergy for independent experts to take a hard look at a relicense request. The last thing we want to do is operate a nuclear plant that is not safe in every aspect.

I understand the frustration of those who feel the State should be able to decide for itself whether it even wants a nuclear power plant in its state (regardless of whether it’s found to be safe to operate by the federal experts and authorities). But what if the General Assembly were to decide that it didn’t want to let its citizens serve in the nation’s armed forces, or to comply with the Voting Rights Act? What if it were to exempt the state from federal decisions about the right of privacy, or the right against self-incrimination? Granted these are issues far, far more important than “nuclear power”, but the principle that we are a nation of laws is the same.

If the federal courts agree with our interpretation of events and the law, then we will have the right to operate our facility just like any other business that has all of its required permits. If they do not support our view, we will comply with their ultimate decision. But, for now, we have responsibilities to 650 dedicated employees at that plant, to local communities, to businesses that depend on reasonably priced electricity, as well as to our investors, to defend the principles of law that we believe allow Vermont Yankee to operate under its federal license.

We wish things were different. But this is the situation that confronts us, and we have no choice but to move the debate to the forum provided under the law.

I appreciate sincerely your listening to our views and considering them.

I encourage you to visit www.entergy.com formore information.

Sincerely,

J.Wayne Leonard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Entergy Corporation

Area should benefit from power line

Restoring accountability to Green Mountain Care

T

he year was 1998, and our managing editor was floating placidly on Schroon Lake with his family, while the fireworks display they watched reflected brightly off the water like a mirror. He decided to moor the boat near the Word of Life Island and was shocked by what he found underwater.

Afterward, he reached for the anchor rope that held the boat in place, but it would not budge from the lake’s floor.

“I wasn’t sure if I had caught a log, or what, so I started to put my back into it and it slowly, painstakingly made its way up,” he recalled.

What the family saw rise to the surface attached to the anchor was no log. Instead, it was a six-inch thick green cable with the words “Danger: High Voltage” printed on the side.

It was the electricity source feeding the island — which had been long ago buried on the lake bottom by the power company.

Are recreational users of Lake Champlain in for a similar fate some day soon?

A proposal is now in the approval phase that would lay two five-inch power lines underwater along the length of Lake Champlain, the Champlain Canal and Hudson River.

The concept is to feed New York City with “clean, renewable power” from Montreal to offset a growing demand there and help lower some of the highest electricity rates in the country.

But at what cost to the North Country?

The company charged with building the line — Canadian-based Transmission Developers Inc. (TDI) — says the environmental impacts will be minimal.

They say the line will be monitored by a special fiber-optic coating that will automatically switch the power off should the line become untangled or penetrated.

They say the electro-magnetic field surrounding the 1,000-Megawatt line (that is 100 times more powerful than the one that feeds Word of Life Island) will have no detriment to fish or plant life.

Let’s face it. This power line is unprecedented. It would be the largest undertaking of its kind in the region

and it deserves tremendous scrutiny before utility companies are allowed to reap the financial rewards from its existence in our waterways.

And, as Mike Winslow of the Lake Champlain Committee pointed out, the people of this region should see more of a benefit than watching a cable reel boat float by from Ballard Park in Westport.

An economic analysis filed on behalf of the promoter to the New York Public Service Commission in July 2010 estimates that the projected line would save New York customers $8.1 billion on their electricity bills over the first 10 years of operations, between 2015 and 2024.

If that’s truly the case, than utility companies surely stand to gain many times that amount. Certainly they will have the ability to afford cleanup efforts in the areas where they will benefit from using the region’s natural resources for their personal gain, both before and after they are here.

While it is nice that our neighbors to the south will benefit from this project, the reality is it will do nothing for the local population.

TDI says it will provide annual financial assistance for environmental projects in the Lake Champlain Basin.

But that assistance needs to be appreciable and it needs to be long-lasting.

Moreover, part of the approval should be a requirement that money be put away to monitor, repair or even remove the line should it be deemed in any way an environmental hazard.

Residents would have been better served if officials had as much foresight with past environmental disasters such as the PCB pollution in the Hudson River, instead of listening to politicians whose jobs are too intrinsically linked to deep-pocketed business interests.

Let’s think very hard before we leave another environmental anchor in our lake for future generations to deal with. We’ve had enough of that.

This editorial is the collaborative opinion of a board comprised of Lou aVrricchio, John Gereau, Andy Flynn, Thom Randall, Lindsay Yandon, Fred Herbst, Keith Lobdell and Jer emiah Papineau. Comments may be sent to lou@addison-eagle.com.

T

he 85-page Green Mountain Health Care bill now before the Vermont Senate is quite possibly the most ambitious, complicated, and portentous piece of legislation ever to come before that body.

A trip through the lengthy bill reveals not only enormous tasks assigned to bureaucrats to make the plan move forward, but also an astonishing collection of boards and advisory committees obviously designed to keep all the "stakeholders" on board for what could be a long, bumpy and expensive ride.

As passed by the House, the bill declares that Vermont shall have a fully government controlled and taxpayer financed health delivery system.

This was formerly known as "single payer", until that term became a political liability as more and more Vermonters discovered what it stood for. Now we'll get a "publicprivate universal health care program" making "single payments" and enforcing its "global budgets" on health care providers.

The creation and management of this megasystem will be directed by a five member Green Mountain Care Board appointed

by Gov. Shumlin. Once the Board establishes the roster of eligible patients, the package of approved benefits, and the schedule for what all medical providers will be paid, the cost of the plan can be calculated. The state will then call upon the taxpayers to foot the bill.

This bill of course doesn't specify how the state is going to extract the billions of tax dollars needed to pay those bills. The legislature's consultant Dr. Hsaio strongly advocated a new state payroll tax, at least 9.4 percent on employers and 3.1 percent on employees, to finance his plan, but higher income and sales taxes are still on the table.

The 2013 legislature will presumably have a say over which taxes are to be raised for Green Mountain Care. They will not, however, have any vote on the benefits or the eligibility or the costs of the grand plan. A major sales pitch for the Green Mountain Care Board, now being called the "Jedi Council", is that it is "independent" of such annoying political considerations.

It's useful here to contrast Green Mountain Health Care with the state's land use and development law, Act 250 of 1970. That act (14 pages as enacted) established a nine member Environmental Board appointed by the governor. It supervised enforcement of the permit criteria (air, water, traffic, etc.) applied by district environmental commissions. Only people engaged in "development" were directly affected, a very small percentage of the population.

But the Board was also directed to develop a state Land Use Plan to designate the appropriate and allowable uses for every square inch of Vermont. The legislature directed that the Environmental Board bring its proposed Land Use Plan back for legislative approval. That proved to be a death sentence. Three times the legislature rejected increasingly weaker Land Use Plans. The by then embarrassing requirement that there be a Land Use Plan was quietly repealed in 1984.

Compare this experience with Green Mountain Care. Same appointed board, similar sweeping mandate. But the all-powerful Green Mountain Care Board will be completely unaccountable to the people once its five members are confirmed by the Senate.

After that, elected legislators can only vote on which taxes to raise to finance its ambitions.

The Land Use Plan would have affected the rights and economic interests of every property owner in the state. The Green Mountain Care plan will affect everyone who lives and breathes in the state (plus whatever new "residents" suddenly appear to enjoy "free" health care).

If Vermonters believe that the officers of government are "the trustees and servants" of the people and "in a legal way accountable to them" (Ch. I Art 6th Vermont Constitution), they should now insist that their representatives require that the far reaching and costly plans of the Green Mountain Care Board go forward only after majorities in the House and Senate have voted to approve them.

Staying curious about ... the thing

’ve wanted to write about something, something I love more than anything.

Something that is never disappointing to me. Something I literally can’t have enough of. Because the more I have of it, eventually, the less it becomes.

Many of you take this thing for granted, even though there’s no way you should. You pass this thing up for related things that though attractive, don’t in the long, medium, or short run, compare to this thing in any way shape or form.

This spring this thing has bred and multiplied exponentially, and because it has, more than any other time in my life I’ve noticed how gloriously powerful it can be.

Everywhere I walk or drive it’s there, free, via sights and sounds, in bits, heaves, here and there, everywhere, even in the air, fresh.

For two hours yesterday I was around it constantly and I marveled at how I saw it even though I saw through it. If there’s an explanation for why this thing can be seen and seen through at the same time, you’ll won’t find it here, because I don’t know why, I don’t need to know why, and I don’t want to know why.

I want to not understand this thing, I want to stay curious about it, to continue having over-the-top visceral reactions to it, in whatever manner I experience it. I want to continue getting odd looks when I go on and on about how much I’m in awe of it. I physically squirm when I take it in.

I am my father ’s son in that he had a great love for this thing. He loved it, and fully embraced and respected the role it played in his 93-year life. Others may have thought dad too reacted over the top to this thing. But when pleasure happens, it’s best to relax and let yourself react. Dad

often did just that, sitting in the sun on his deck after planting a tree or mowing the lawn. And it’s what I do too, to this day. I do it at least every morning without fail.

Dad didn’t over due this thing, which goes against popular knowledge, and here again I take after dad, taking on only as much as I feel I need. Even though the saying “Too much of a good thing … ,” does not apply here.

My ma loves this thing so much she has gets a monthly delivery. And my sister lives her life with this thing almost constantly at hand.

But how to rejoice, how to pay respect, how to worship this thing that I am gaga about?

I know. I’ll be buried with it. Tap will be fine.

To the editor: I’m writing in support of House Bill H 274 (Senate Bill 103). I find it inter esting that supporters call this legislation, “Death with Dignity,” and opponents “Physician Assisted Suicide,” while the bills themselves ar e titled acts “Relating to Patient Choice and Control at End of Life.”

For me, the cr ucial issue is in the legislative title: giving the patient (me) choice and control in regards to my own life.

I don’t believe generally that suicide is the solution to life’s challenges. I believe that all of our life’s experiences are opportunities to learn and grow, and the choice to end my life is only appr opriate in extr eme cir cumstances. A couple years ago a client of mine made this decision for herself (after moving to Oregon to be with her two children) and I could see that, for her, it was the right decision, given her medical situation and the future she faced. She was someone who did believe in ‘miracles’ and held out for a medical miracle for a long time and supported this desire with various kinds of prayer and healing methods. Her decision to end her life while she was still capable, I thought, was well considered.

While I r espect the rights of individuals opposed to this legislation to not choose to use this right to choice if enacted, I don’t see evidence for the dir e consequences often To the editor: predicted: wide spr ead euthanasia, rash of To the editor: Did you know that tr uth must be sought teen suicide, etc. I hope V ermont joins the I am aware of the damage that can be done out?

Judges must pr omote their system. V ermont, thankfully, still elects their side (assistant) judges. They do not have to be lawyers, so they bring common sense and experience into the system. Let’s make sur e that we keep this system.

Vermont and Kentucky are the only states that still retain side judges. This system still works. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

That the same can be said for V ermont’s gun laws. Here we have only three basic gun laws, the least of any state, and yet we ar e the safest. Smart criminals know that most Vermont households have mor e than one gun and that we all know how to (and will) use them to pr otect ourselves, our families and properties.

Did you know that government is the only business that can use for ce to legally for ce the people to do its bidding? Huge media corporations do not r epresent the people.

There are two ways to solve pro blems: reason and for ce. So, do we use the V ermont Way or the government way?

Sabourin in Las Vegas SHOREHAM — Liz Sabourin, of Shor eham, Vt., spent spring br eak in Las V egas, Nev., while participating in PLIA (Putting Love Into Action), a mission pr ogram with Dordt College. Sabourin is a sophomore.

Guest Viewpoint A short history of broccoli Have you ever had serious second thoughts about something? Of course, I usually have sever e tr ouble with establishing first thoughts. But once I have finished a serious thought I like put it behind me and go on with life.

For example. For years, people have been telling me how harmful drinking coffee is. Something to do, so they tell me, with being addicted to caf feine.

Then, if I cannot give up coffee, I am to limit the number of cups of cof fee I drink per day.

This has always caused me gre at concern because I can never emember r how many cups of cof fee I have had in any given day. I suppose I could keep a tally and mark down every cup I drink.

This in itself poses a serious pr oblem for me.

When I am in a restaurant and drinking cof fee and my cup is half-empty and the waitr ess tops of f my cof fee, is that considered one or two cups of coffee?

What about my coffee mug at home?

Does it hold one or two cups of coffee?

By the time I have had my thoughts thoroughly stirred about the consumption of caffeine I read a health report informing us that caf feine helps pr event heart attack.

If that is tr ue, and I have no r eason not to believe it, ther e will be no heart attacks in my family for the next ten generations.

All that guilt I felt for years about drinking too much cof fee has r eally been for nothing. Ther efore, in a show of good faith, I plan to drink as much coffee as I jolly well please.

Then ther e was the episode about chocolate. According to those people who hate other people enjoying themselves, chocolate is supposed to be bad for you. Or so they opined.

For years, I have been secretly eating chocolate behind the back of the Gra-

cious Mistress of the Parsonage. She is one who takes these warnings rather seriously. Rather , I should say , she takes them out on me. For years chocolate was a forbidden substance in our otherwise merry domicile.

Then I r ead a r eport r evealing the health benefits associated with eating chocolate. No wonder I am such a healthy rascal these days. The only exercise I have had for years is exercising caution in smuggling chocolate into our house.

The good news is, chocolate is good for your health along with a steaming hot cup of coffee. I do not know what I enjoy more in life.

With these two things in mind, I have had some cause to re-think my position on broccoli.

My r easoning goes something like this. For years, people have been telling us that cof fee and chocolate is bad for your health. Then, somebody discovers that these two things benefit our health.

Now, for years, starting with my dear old mother, people have been extolling the virtues of broccoli. I cannot tell how many lectures I have hear d explaining to me how wonderful and beneficial broccoli is for human consumption. I cannot r emember the number of vitamins and minerals allegedly associated with this vegetable.

When I was a young lad in short pants, I took one look at br occoli and determined it was not for me at all.

Even I, at that point, understood the maliciousness of what some people called a vegetable.

"Eat all your vegetables and then you can have your dessert." Which, to my mind, was second only to waterboar ding. In fact, I think ther e was a period in my life when I would have pre ferred the waterboarding.

“It's good for you,” people kept telling me.

What I want to know is how can

something that looks like a miniatur e tree-wanna-be be good for a person?

The first and last broccoli I have ever eaten took me three days to chew. Then, I had to br ush my teeth for a week to get it all out from between my teeth.

Now that I have become older, I have begun to r ethink certain things in life.

One has to do with the functional aspect of wearing suspenders. One unfortunate episode in the public mall was enough for me.

And the other has to do with br occoli. Maybe, just maybe, I have been too harsh concerning what some people call a wonderful vegetable. Maybe, if I give it some further thought, I might discover that broccoli is not half as bad as I thought it was.

It just could be that all these years those people bragging on the marvelous benefits of broccoli were right.

Just as I was polishing up this second thought about br occoli to pr esent it to my wife, I saw a newspaper article that said, "Tainted broccoli spurs big r ecall in West."

I knew it. I knew that br occoli, in whatever form you want to cook it, is tainted.

Second thoughts can certainly be dangerous. I took this second thought about br occoli, thr ew it away and enthusiastically embraced my first thought and now br occoli is history with me.

The Bible warns us to be car eful about what we think. "Finally , brethren, whatsoever things ar e tr ue, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8 KJV).

I have more important things to think about than broccoli.

Building the Adirondacks, one theory at a time

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com “The surface of the Earth exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.”— Will Durant One million years ago—befor e ther e was an Adirondack Park with seasonal tourist attractions, envir onmental regulations, beaver ponds, and imaginary Blue Lines—there was a vast untamed wilderness of mountain r ock and ice. It is doubtful that ther e were many tr ees or even much wildlife in the arctic-like terrain.

But go back 10-15 million years, or even mor e, and the Adirondack Mountains we know today may have been bare -

ly noticeable, at least accord ing to a fascinating theory championed by a maverick New York geologist who died in 2001.

At that remote moment in time, the geologist claimed, the climate was warmer and theAdirondacks were literally newborn mountains—the r esult of a “domical uplift” that continues to the present day.

During the Miocene Epoch, the theory states, deep below the future State of New York, a molten hot spot—caused by the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium—began heating subsurface r ocks causing them to expand and rise through the rock layers above it.

For more than 30 years, the late Dr . Yngvar Isachsen, a Cornell University trained geologist, challenged long-held beliefs about the age and origin of the Adirondacks. But some of Isachsen’s conclusions have been, in turn, challenged by new data collected by the NewYork State Geological Survey and other sources.

Dr. William M. Kelly , chief geologist of New York State, said ther e’s mor e r esearch needed to fully understand the origin and age of the Adirondacks.

In Africa several dome mountains ar e er upting lava. Isachsen believed lava might someday br eak through the r ocks of the Adirondacks. It won’t happen—if it happens at all— for millions of years in the future, Kelly said.

The book is also a cautionary tale, Breed said. She pointed to the Minneapolis Interstate 35W Bridge that collapsed in 2007, killing 13 people and injuring 145.

“There ar e 93 bridges in New York State with a curr ent safety rating at or below that given to the Lake Champlain Bridge prior to closur e in October of 2009,” the author noted.

Breed has written two other books.

“Poems from the Champlain Valley” is due for release in summer 2011. “Paper Girl” will be released next year.

guests are welcome to explore the Common Ground site, including a play str ucture made fr om r ecycled playgr ounds.

There will also be educational booths hosted by or ganizations such as Yestermorrow Design Build School, Volunteers for Peace, and the Lewis Creek Association. And they’re firing up their brick oven for delicious pizza. A dance party with Jeh Kulu Dance & Dr um Theater will cap of f the days festivities at 5 p.m.

Common Ground Center began in 1994 as a two-week family camp at rented facilities. In 2004, Common Gro und moved to its own facility and has blossomed into a non-pr ofit organization offering creative and engaging pr ograms to families of all kinds.

www.addison-eagle.com “The Island Spouter (spring) in Saratoga Springs State Park blows ten feet into the air like a geyser,” he once said in a public radio interview. “Driven by carbon dioxide pr essure, it er upts like an impr operly opened bottle of champagne.

Although lacking the drama of a volcano, the spring marks a deep scar in the Earth where ancient r ocks of the Canadian Shield continue to rise above the lowlands of the young Adirondacks.”

“You know, I loved Yngvar like a br other,” Kelly said, “but I still can’t agr ee with all of his scientific claims. But he posed some very intriguing questions.

Despite all the new data, the Adirondacks r emain a mystery waiting to be solved.”
