Local use is the ‘biofuel’ model that works in Vermont

By Rachael Carter rachel@vsjf.org

Police charge man BRISTOL — On April 9, Vermont State Police in New Haven received a report that Dusty Grace, 21, of Bristol was firing a gun in the direction of a neighbors residence in an attempt to pick a fight with them.

State Police said it was also reported that he was intoxicated and fighting with other people on scene.

A State Trooper and a Bristol P.D. officer arrived and were able to get Grace into custody and secure the firearm without incident.

No one was injured during this event. Grace was initially charged with disorderly conduct. The incident is still being investigated.

MIDDLEBURY — A report published last week in Nature Climate Change indicated that ethanol made from corn residue can reduce soil carbon and increase CO2 emissions, indicating the harvested leftovers from corn are “worse than gasoline for global warming,” according to the Associated Press, who released the study results.

In Vermont the term “biofuel” and “bioenergy” are commonly used to refer to woody biomass (chips and pellets), anaerobic digestion (new manure and food scrap digester at Vermont Tech), and on-farm biodiesel production.

A scale-appropriate model of local bioenergy production for in-state use is being pioneered by farmers and researchers.

These emerging renewable energy resources include switch grass for heating, algae production for biofuels and wastewater management, and oilseed crops for on-farm biodiesel production, equipment use, and animal feed. Since 2003, the Vermont Bioenergy Initiative has been funding research, technical assistance, and demonstration projects—along with its partners at the University of Vermont Extension—in order to develop the infrastructure to connect diversified agriculture and local renewable energy production for on-farm and community use.

Awards galore for local winemaker

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com SHELBURNE — The Champlain Valley may be colder than the Finger Lakes when it comes to growing wine grapes, but its wines are decidely more international in character. The big valley straddles two U.S. states and the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec—with its own wine-grape heritage dating to the 17th century.

Among the valley’s producers, Shelburne Vineyard deserves credit for being an early pioneer in the Champlain Valley grapewine industry. Its wine now hold the lion share of awards, too.

Shelburne Vineyard just won top honors in the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition in Rochester, N.Y. Shelburne Vineyard’s 2012 Marquette and 2012 Vermont Riesling were each awarded Double Gold Medals and the 2012 Louise Swenson received a Bronze Medal from a panel of international judges. Other Vermont wineries received medals for their wines, including Champlain Orchards, Eden Ice Cider, New Hall Farm, Fresh Tracks Farm, and North Branch Vineyard.

Wines entered in the 2014 Fingers Lakes International Wine Competition originated from 20 countries, 50 states, and 6 Canadian provinces.

A panel of wine experts from Argentina, Australia, Chile,

France, Germany, Israel, Italy, the United States and other wine regions of the world blindly taste each wine and assess them for color and clarity, aroma, taste and texture and overall quality. A Double Gold Medal is awarded only upon a unanimous vote of the judging panel.

Of the 3,756 wines entered in the 2014 competition, only 140 achieved Double Gold status. Shelburne Vineyard was the only Vermont wine to earn this level of recognition.

“The quality of the fruit is critical to the quality of the wine.

Since we spend a tremendous amount of attention to vine management, it is especially rewarding to win this level of recognition for our wines,” said Ken Albert, founder and managing partner of Shelburne Vineyard.

Shelburne Vineyard has consistently wins top honors at international wine competitions. Its Marquette Reserve, a hybrid red varietal, won “Best Red Wine in Show” at the International Cold Climate Wine Competition for three consecutive years, and the 2012 LaCrescent received “Best in Class” among hybrid entries in the Ninth Annual Atlantic Seaboard Wine Competition.

“From vine to glass, we strive to make the finest quality wine from northern varietal grapes grown right here on our vineyards and regionally sourced from other Northern growers,” according to Ken Albert. Ken grows the grapes and his wife Gail tends CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

May 3, 2014

By Jove!

side from being the editor of this weekly newspaper, I moonlight, once-a-week, as an astronomy instructor at a small Vermont college. I get to put my master’s of science degree to good use and interact with first-year students embarking on their college years.

Working with young people provides fresh perspectives and adds some spice to all facets of my life. I highly recommend it to anyone over the age of 55. And I am especially pleased to see students, especially non-science majors, interested in the origin and ultimate fate of the cosmos.

One of our classroom discussions was about our solar system and its biggest plant—Jupiter.

Most of my students learned in elementary school, that giant Jupiter is a “gas giant”. This means that the largest planet in our solar system is composed primarily of gases such as hydrogen and helium, primordial gases of the nebula from which the Sun and all the planets formed.

The inner terrestrial planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, and Mars—either lost or evolved their primitive atmospheres, but not Jupiter and Saturn and the “ice giants” beyond.

And just as our definitions of what a planet is (as in the case of Pluto being demoted to dwarf planet status) are being redefined, we may have to refine our definition of what Jupiter is, too.

A discovery made a few years ago has revealed that Jupiter has a rocky core more than twice as large as previously measured. This makes big Jupiter appear less like a gas giant and more like a quasi-terrestrial planet, at least deep below its ultra-dense atmosphere.

Jupiter is named after Jove, the Roman version of the Greek Zeus. He was father of the ancient gods and could be a “hail fellow well met” or a downright nasty, vengeful dude—not unlike the Old Testament Jehovah. The giant planet which bears his name is about as tempestuous a place as Jupiter’s dysfunctional pantheon.

A research team led by Burkhard Militzer at the University of California ran a series of detailed computer simulations that showed how individual hydrogen and helium, at the atomic scale, behave deep inside Jupiter. Hydrogen-helium atoms behave strangely in the extreme pressure and temperature environment of the big outer planets.

Militzer’s colorful computer model shows that the inner zone of Jupiter core is an immense rock approximately 16 times Earth’s mass. This rocky core, perhaps made of iron, nickel and silicate materials, amounts to five percent of Jupiter’s total mass. The new model challenges the old, standby theories: Most astronomers thought Jupiter’s core was either seven Earth masses or they argued that the big planet lacked any kind of core except for maybe a mushy interior.

Militzer said his team’s high-tech simulations show a big rocky object in Jupiter’s central region surrounded by an ice layer. Little ice exists on the planet beyond the core region; this is contrary to a theory apparently overturned by his discovery.

“This is a very different result for the interior structure of Jupiter than other recent models, which predict a relatively small or hardly any core and a mixture of ices throughout the atmosphere,” Militzer said in an online interview with Decoded Science.

These new research results now show a Jovian planetary core that is composed of extremely dense layers of metals and rocks surrounded by methane, ammonia and water ices. Above these outer core layers is an atmosphere of mostly hydrogen and helium. At the planet’s very heart, a metallic ball of iron and nickel makes up the deep, inner core.

As Jupiter accreted from the solar nebula 4.5 billion years ago, its heavy rocky core captured— and held on to—hydrogen, helium, and other gases.

With the new finding, it now looks like Jupiter’s interior more closely resembles what recent data has revealed about the interiors of Neptune and Uranus; these smaller “ice giants” have rocky cores, too, surrounded by icy hydrogen and helium. However, Neptune and Uranus lack the ultradense and forbidding atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn.

While all of these scientific discoveries are exciting and important, I often reflect on what the late Dr. Isaac Asimov had to say about putting the march-of-science in perspective: “The saddest aspect of life right now,” Asimov said in an interview during the evening of his life, “is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”

Gun control

T

he Eagle’s esteemed editor, whose writing I often enjoy, unfortunately fell into the mire that has so stifled rational debate in this country for far too long. I refer to labelling. All too often those of one particular persuasion apply a label to those of a different, maybe opposing, opinion, a label that paints with a sufficiently broad brush to obscure the facts and the subtleties.

In his Op-Ed piece, ‘Gun Control: coming to a town near you’ (April 19) he repeatedly uses the term “anti-gun” to describe those who are aiming to tighten legislation on gun ownership. It may be true that some of these people favour the elimination of firearms from our society, but it is also true that much of the legislation proposed can in no rational way be described as “anti-gun”.

For instance, requiring background checks for all gun sales in an attempt to ensure that these sales are not made to those with a history of criminal behaviour or mental instability in no way infringes the rights of mentally stable and lawabiding members of society. It is not “anti-gun”; it actually acknowledges that gun sales are a part of our society and our economy. A requirement to report lost or stolen guns is not “anti-gun”; it is an attempt to track the possible movement of guns towards those whose motives are less than benign.

The list could go on.

Labels aside, Mr Varrichio asserts that our “laws have served us well since the founding of our nation and Vermont” and that “Vermont has one of the lowest crime rates in the U.S.” I question the former: the U.S. has the highest incidence of firearm-related crime of any ‘first-world’ nation.

The latter, I believe, is nothing to be proud of. The time is long overdue to look beyond the U.S. borders to make comparisons. Being the least bad doesn’t necessarily make us good. Those who acknowledge this, far from being “anti”anything, are in fact striving to improve our society. Let us debate how we can make such improvements rather than simply sticking labels on those whose path to improvement differs from our own.

I believe that voting rights for legal citizens are protected by the U.S. Constitution at least as much as the right to bear firearms. If those who promote tighter regulation of gun ownership–“typically Democrats and Progressives – are to be described as “anti-gun”, then the following must also be true. Those who promote more stringent proof of identity for voting purposes –largely Republicans and the Far Right– must be described as “anti-voting rights”.

Peter Macfarlane Addison The editor replies: “Esteemed editor,” eh? Sounds like a label to me.

Letters

GMO labeling To the editor: We congratulate the Vermont legislature on its passage of a law to require labeling of genetically engineered food sold in the state and we commend Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin for stating that he will sign the bill. Consumers Union testified numerous times in hearings in Vermont in favor of the bill and is supporting bills across the country that would label GMOs. Vermont has broken new ground by passing a bill with no strings attached, no conditions to be met, before it goes into effect in 2016. This is a historic day for consumers’ right to know.

Consumers Union especially commends Vermont for having the courage to stand up to corporate bullying, including threats of suits and other legal action from the large biotech companies and food retailers. If Vermont is sued, we intend to use all the resources at our disposal to support Vermont in its groundbreaking effort.

Foods are already required to be labeled if they are frozen, irradiated, pasteurized, contain additives, or come from concentrate. Vermont should not have to spend millions of dollars defending itself in court because they have said food should also be labeled if it is genetically engineered.

We urge the food industry to drop its legal war against consumers’ right to know and instead begin listening to its consumers on this issue. We urge companies to offer not just the foods that are most convenient to grow or process, but the foods consumers really want, fully labeled.

lou@addison-eagle.com EAST MIDDLEBURY — Construction activities related to the replacement of East Middlebury’s Route 125 Bridge 13 will disrupt traffic through June 2, according to VTrans officials.

The Middlebury Sand Hill Bridge closed beginning at 7 a.m.

April 19 and will remain closed through June 2.

The Route 125 will be closed at North Branch Road on the west side of the bridge to Upper Plains Road on the east side of the bridge.

On the west side of the bridge, project related truck activity will be heavy for the first week of the closure.

Traffic on North Branch Road will remain open for one lane of traffic for the duration of the project.

Extended traffic delays for the placement and assembly of the crane occurred last week. Drivers were asked to seek alternate routes.

Unlimited access will be provided to Emergency Services as needed during the project.

A portion of the Middlebury River through the project area will be closed for swimming, boating and other recreational purposes for the duration of the project.

The project began last week with several earl milestones accomplished: On April 23, a crane was moved to the site on multiple trucks and assembled. Significant delays, up to an hour, occurred on North Branch Road during the assembly period.

On April 24, excavation was completed by the end of the day with heavy truck traffic expected to cease.

On April 25, concrete preparation and pouring of sub footings for the bridge abutments began.

On April 28, a precast bridge elements arrived on site and bridge assembly began.

early morning phase of the survey. The drone rarely flies for more than seven minutes before its batteries need recharging, according to McPheters, the craft’s remote-control pilot.

“It’s becoming an important research tool although it takes some getting used to flying,” McPheters said. “We were hoping to fly it here, at Mount Independence, but we don’t operate it when it’s below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or in the rain.”

Mt. Independence history expert Allen Hathaway demonstrated to volunteers what to look for should they encounter stone shards of both Native American and American colonial tool making on the ground.

According to Hathaway, Mt. Independence chert was used for native weapon making as well as for gun flints used in 18th-century muskets. Also, flints from the site were traded around New England before the arrival of Europeans. Regarding the ongoing volunteer involvement at the historic state site, Zeoli said he was pleased with the interest in the April 26 survey.

“Volunteers are important to us,” he said. “They are a clear vote for local history in general and Mount Independence in particular.”

Despite rain, archeologists and volunteers turned out in force to help locate surface features of interest for future field work at Mt. Independence State Historic Site in Orwell April 26.

“This is exciting and important work,” she said. “Early spring is a good time to look for unusual surface features and artifacts. In recent surveys, just like this one, we’ve found more than 150 artifacts.”

Maine archeologist Hutch McPheters spoke to volunteers before they set out across the 3,000-acre historic site of Revolutionary War fortifications which is located along the Vermont shore of Lake Champlain in the Town of Orwell.

Using the historic site’s new video-projection system-which was funded entirely by Coalition members--McPheters displayed a large aerial photo map of the mount and pointed out areas of possible interest for the volunteers.

Along with typical GPS and surveying tools, McPheters showcased a small drone rotorcraft, equipped with a video camera.

Biofuel

From page 1 A new website www.VermontBioenergy.com provides a series of written and video resources in these emerging fields of bioenergy.

“Local oilseed biodiesel production for local use is profoundly different from national and international models of biofuel production. While corn-based ethanol and palm oil biodiesel are gaining negative attention for their impacts on the environment and food security, biofuels that are produced and used locally help transition away from unsustainable models of food and fuel

www.addision-eagle.com production,” said Sarah Galbraith, program manager of the Vermont Bioenergy Initiative. “Local production for local use works well in conjunction with sustainable food production.”

Vermont is particularly dependent on fossil fuels for heating and transportation, sending its energy dollars largely out of state. In the case of locally produced biodiesel, three products can be made from one crop: animal feed, organic fertilizer, and biofuel for heat, transportation, and farm equipment.

U.S. corn-based ethanol mandates are bringing additional acres into mono-crop production, in some cases converting sensitive natural areas like native grasslands and forestland into farmland. In contrast, local bioenergy production for local use incorporates rotational crops like sunflowers and soybeans into acres

MASONIC AWARDS — Service awards were presented at Libanus Lodge 47 F&AM in Bristol last week to Matt Prime, senior deacon, Mike Moore, district deputy grand master, Charles H. Weisenbach, age 90, with 54 years of service, William A. James. age 102. with 70 years, Roger W. Layn age 93 with 65 years of service, and Dick Merrill, worshipful master.

Vermont Eagle - 9 already in production. Vermont farms growing oilseed crops for biodiesel production are doing so on long-established cropland in the context of diversified and sustainable food production.

The ethanol mandates are raising grain costs nationally, making feed expensive for Vermont dairy farmers. Local bioenergy production, however, means farmers produce their own feed, fuel, and fertilizer for on-farm use, at a fraction of the cost and at more stable prices.

The Vermont Bioenergy Initiative’s newly launched website features an in depth look at oilseed production and biodiesel operations with case studies, research, and educational videos.

The website also features similar resources for grass energy and algae for biofuel and wastewater management as well as information on other biofuels being produced and used in Vermont: www.VermontBioenergy.com.

Brandon Music to host Snake Mt. Bluegrass, Connor Sisters

Addison County’s Snake Mt. Bluegrass and the Connor Sisters.

BRANDON — Snake Mountain Bluegrass uses both a traditional and more modern approach to their bluegrass style, from hard driving “breakdowns” to softer, folk-type arrangements.

Brandon Music presents them along with the talented Connor Sisters on Saturday, May 17, at 7:30 p.m.

Gregg Humphrey and Mike Connor formed Snake Mountain Bluegrass about twenty five years ago. At the time, both Gregg (guitar and vocals) and Mike (banjo and vocals) were living near Snake Mountain and someone asked them what style of bluegrass they played. “Snake Mountain Bluegrass,” was their immediate response and the name has been theirs ever since. Beside them, stand Earle Provin (mandolin and resophonic guitar), Randy Kirby (bass), and Chris Prickett (fiddle).

Snake Mountain will be joined by the unique blend of “sister harmonies” with three young women from Addison County,

known as The Connor Sisters. Middlebury Town Hall Theater, Executive Director, Douglas Anderson says, when Katie (guitar), Monica (fiddle) and Meaghan (mandolin and lead vocals) “join forces with Snake Mountain, it’s a big joyful sound.”

Gregg Humphrey is the “Energizer Bunny” of the Snake Mountain group. His robust vocal style, coupled with a high-octane acoustic 6-string guitar, pushes the audience to toe-tapping in sync with the music. Mike Connor has a fine Irish tenor voice and plays the banjo which makes him the target of the banjo jokes, but he takes it well. Earle Provin is the Renaissance Man in the bunch, a generally quiet sort with a wry and subtle wit and an incredible talent on the mandolin, 6-string guitar, and National Steel. He also plays a resophonic guitar adding a unique sound to the bluegrass treatment of their songs.

Chris Prickett has been playing fiddle and various instruments in Maine until moving back to his hometown of Middlebury.

He is now working with area youths to help them enjoy and perform traditional folk, country and bluegrass music. Randy Kirby lives in Salisbury and is a veteran of many musical bands and genres. Although he plays electronic bass for Snake Mountain, he is also a fine guitar player, enjoying traditional country and rock music.

Snake Mountain Bluegrass has recently released two C.D.s: ‘Bout Time’, which features their unique blend of bluegrass music and tight harmony singing; and ‘Under the Radar’, which includes seven original songs.

Call 802-465-4071 for details.

Open house at community farms

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY — On Sunday, May 4, from 1–4 p.m., farms across Vermont will open their greenhouses, barns, and fields to community members. This day is an opportunity for everyone to get to know a local farmer, and falls just before the beginning of most farms’ CSA programs.

CSA is a form of direct farm-to-consumer sales in which the customer typically subscribes in the spring to a weekly share of the season’s harvest. Many CSAs offer a wide variety of produce, and some include meat, eggs, flowers, or other products.

Consumers looking for fresh, local food often turn to Community Supported Agriculture shares, or CSAs, but choosing a CSA farm can be difficult. The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT) hopes to solve that problem, and connect more Vermonters to

Vermont Eagle - 13

their local farms, with the first CSA Open Farm Day. Over 50 farms will participate in this year’s CSA Open Farm Day. Farm activities include tours, demonstrations, product tasting, scavenger hunts, and more. Everyone is welcome to this community event.

Visit a participating “Open CSA Farm Day” farm on May 4th. For an up-to-date listing of participating farms and their activities, visit the NOFA-VT website www.nofav.org/CSA-day or call the office at 802-434-4122.

Area Open CSA Farm Day particpants: Elmer Farm, Middlebury Good Earth Farm, Brandon Wood’s Market Garden, Brandon Footprint Farm, Bristol The Last Resort, Bristol Full Moon Farm, Inc., Hinesburg Golden Russet Farm, Shoreham Alchemy Gardens, Shrewsbury Boardman Hill Farm, West Rutland

On Sunday, May 4, from 1–4 p.m., farms across Vermont will open their greenhouses, barns, and fields to community members. Pictured: Wood’s Market Garden in Brandon, courtesy of Wood’s.

‘Songs of Freedom’ at the Rokeby Museum FERRISBURGH – Performer Francois Clemmons will sing “Songs of Freedom” to celebrate the 180th anniversary of the Vermont Anti-Slavery Society founding and the 2014 opening of Rokeby Museum. Join us at Rokeby on Sunday, May 18, at 3 p.m. for this inspiring concert.

More than 100 Vermonters gathered in Middlebury in May 1834 to “declare war on slavery” and to found an organization to carry it out. These radical Vermonters believed that

slavery was a sin, and so they called for the immediate emancipation of all slaves. “Repent – now! Today! Immediately!” is how they put it in their constitution.

Rokeby Museum is a National Historic Landmark that connects visitors with the human experience of the Underground Railroad and with the lives of the Robinsons who lived on and farmed this land for nearly 200 years.

The day the world didn’t end; William Miller, prophet

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com LOW HAMPTON, N.Y. — Just west of the Vermont state line at Rutland County, is the tiny community of Low Hampton, N.Y. During the late 1700s, this former frontier area began to be settled by restless New Englanders in search of farm land and business opportunities. The Miller family of Pittsfield, Mass., settled there with their young son William.

As a young man, William Miller moved 10 miles away to Poultney, Vt., and lived at the home of his wife Lucy Smith’s family. There Capt. Miller recruited Vermont soldiers to fight in the War of 1812. After that so-called Second War of Independence, William returned to Low Hampton to homestead.

William Miller wore many hats. He was a farmer, country sheriff, justice of the peace, decorated Army officer of the Battle of Plattsburgh, self-educated biblical scholar, and a controversial prophet of the end times.

As the father of today’s Christian Adventist and Jehovah’s Witnesses movements, Miller is best remembered for a bold prediction that preached the world would end on Oct. 22, 1844.

Miller’s bucolic 19th-century farm is now a National Historic Site located along N.Y. County Road 11, off Route 4, between Fair Haven,

Vt., and Whitehall, N.Y. At the Miller farm and adjoining chapel site, visitors can rediscover the simple farming life of the 1800s and the prophet’s contributions to Protestantism. Visitors can also stand on a beautiful, rivulet-eroded limestone outcrop where Millerites—as William’s early followers were called—awaited the Second Coming of Jesus. The day was Oct. 22, 1844.

Miller’s prophesy grew out of his interpretation of the Bible’s Book of Daniel. Miller figured that the 2,300 day (year) prophesy of Daniel 8:14 could be pinpointed on a modern calendar—the day of reckoning, he determined mathematically, was Oct. 22, 1844.

“I am almost home,” Miller wrote as the predicted day of judgement approached. “Be warned—repent.”

Millerites from across Vermont, New York and beyond gathered at Ascension Rock, the outcrop on William’s farm. Fa mi lees brought picnic food to share and musical instruments to praise God. It was the 1844 equivalent of the 1969 secular Woodstock Festival, also held in New York State.

From the outcrop are majestic views of Vermont’s Taconic mountains and the vast open sky to the south—no wonder such a natural place evoked prediction of heavenly rapture.

But after the expected day passed and Jesus

was not to be seen, the faith of many Millerites vanished in the autumnal dusk of Oct. 22. In fact, he event became known as the Great Disappointment. And while William Miller was deeply disappointed, he never gave up on his faith and the Second Coming.

“I believe it will come, but if it should not come, then I will wait and look until it does come...,” Miller told his followers at the rock.

Following William’s end-of-the-world fizzle, the local Baptist church dropped Miller, his family, and other Millerites from its membership rolls.

Four years after the failed prophesy, Miller built a small chapel on his farm where passionate Millerites began to gather and worship. A year after the chapel opened, 68-year-old William Miller died on Dec. 20, 1849. A large funeral was held at the Fair Haven Congregational Church in Vermont.

Ironically, William Miller’s followers grew in the years following the prophet’s death.

Both the Seventh Day Adventist and Adventist Christian churches, as well as the Jehovah’s Witnesses, identify themselves with the prophet’s legacy.

In 1975, the Miller farm was listed on the Federal Registry of National Historic Sites and is no maintained by both Adventist organizations.

The site remains a monument to the humble

man of God who predicted the end of the world and instead left a lasting legacy of faith, hope and charity.

Visitors to the William Miller Home & Farm are welcome daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 518-282-9617 for specific directions and more details.
