newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) officials said the public transportation authority will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at the site of the multi-million dollar Community Transportation Center at 341 Creek Road.

Rutland-based VMS Construction will erect the facility. VMS officials said the center will be open for buses and riders, as well as ACTR staff, starting in May 2013.

Ground work started on the site last week.

The public groundbreaking event will take place Sept. 12, at 2 p.m. at the Creek Road site.

ACTR received a $100,000 grant by Jane’s Trust of Boston, Mass, part of the 20 percent local match requirements for a $2.85 million federal taxpayer grant previously awarded for center.

According to Jim Moulton, executive director of ACTR, “the new center will enable us to continue meeting the growing community transportation needs in the region.”

The county’s “transitdependent” population, those who are most likely to be unable to transport themselves due to economic, physical or cognitive barriers, is growing more quickly than ACTR’s current resources can accommodate, according to Moultin.

When the new Community Transportation Center opens in May, it will mark the authority’s 20th anniversary of service in Addison County.

Addison Co. Benefit Pull helps families in need

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com NEW HAVEN — It’s that time of year for the annual Addison County Benefit Tractor and Truck Pull. The popular event, now in its seventh year, may be loud and messy, but it’s all for a good cause.

This year ’s benefit pull, like those before it, will raise money for local families in need. The event will be held Sept.14-15 in New Haven.

According to Kirstin Quesnel, spokeswoman for the event, “the benefit pull has been able to give over $125,000 over the past six years, benefiting 22 Vermont families through times of struggle and suffering.”

Quesnel noted that the event, held every year at the Addison County Fair and Field Days fairgrounds in New Haven, attracts tractor pullers from Vermont and nearby New York farming communities.

The pulls will start at 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m.

Saturday. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids.

The idea of a benefit pull was created by Jason and Tim Van De Weert, and Danielle Dragon, after Ken Van De Weert was diagnosed with ALS or Lou Gerhig’s Disease.

“Through their experience with Ken’s illness, Jason, Tim and Danielle learned how truly giving a small community can be,” Quesnel said. “Some Addison County residents put on the first successful fundraiser and anonymously presented the money to Ken’s family. The money was enough to ease some of the struggles the family was going through; it assisted Ken in becoming a little more independent as his life on earth was coming to an end.”

See TRACTOR PULL, page 11

Many local farming families are involved with the Addison County Benefit Pull: Farmer Leo Lamoureux and his family of Whiting’s Ladja Farm stand by their work horse “Here’s the Beef,” a Ford 9000 tractor. The tractor performs well pulling several tons. “Having a good time is our best payoff,” Leo said.

Costly, controversial Middlebury rail spur on hold

MIDDLEBURY — A costly Middlebury rail spur project that was opposed by neighbors is on hold, according to an Omya official.

Omya Florence plant manager Jim Stewart said the $32 million public-private project, which was supposed to reduce Route 7 truck traffic between the foreign-owned company’s open-pit Middlebury calcium carbonate mine and its processing plant in Florence, is on hold indefinitely.

Stewart blamed the bad economy on the decision.

“It’s going to lie dormant for now," Stewart told news reporters. “I don't believe we can economically go for it.”

The project increased in size and scope over the years including a massive, 2,050-foot trestle spanning the Otter Creek and Creek Road and a multi-acre ore handling facility that would have negatively impacted residents in the vicinity.

Brandon merchants and residents pushed for the project, weary of See RAIL SPUR, page 11

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College Community Chorus announces a new season to prepare a concert to celebrate Thanksgiving, slated for performance at Mead Chapel on the Middlebury College campus on Sunday afternoon, November 18.

Regular rehearsals are Sunday and Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in Mead Chapel on the Middlebury College campus.

Rehearsals begin Tuesday, September 11, at 7:00 p.m. Singers are welcome to join the chorus through September 25; participants should plan to attend at least one rehearsal each week.

In the spirit of the Thanksgiving season, the Chorus sings a spirited setting of Psalm 100 by Minnesota composer René Clausen with the text "Make a joyful noise unto God... Enter his gates with thanksgiving!"

The group will also offer an inspiring version of texts drawn from the traditional church mass, entitled The Ground, by Ola Gjeilo. Its text, sung in Latin, moves from the opening "Heaven and earth are full of glory" to a closing prayer "Grant us thy peace."

Choirs across the globe increasing perform this contemporary Norwegian-born composer's works, with their soaring melodies and lush harmonies.

The Community Chorus will also prepare two choruses on the poetry of Robert Frost, set in 1959 to music by noted American composer Randall Thompson: The Road Not Taken and Choose Something like a Star from his choral suite entitled Frostiana. The

concert also includes a newly published, energetic choral arrangement of Let the River Run by Carly Simon, set by Craig Hella Johnson, conductor of the Austin, Texas ensemble Conspirare, whose performances have been broadcast on public television.

The Thanksgiving program features Franz Schubert's inspired Mass #2 in G Major, written in 1815 when the composer was just 18 years old, a setting full of energy with delightful melodies and harmonies. In concert, string players will perform with the Chorus, drawn from local orchestras including the Champlain Philharmonic Orchestra.

Timothy Guiles joins the Chorus as accompanist this season. Tim has accompanied musical theater groups across the state including the Valley Players, Middlebury College Music Department, and Middlebury Community Players. He serves on the faculty of Bill Reed's Summer Musical Theater Intensive, and was the founding director of Maple Jam, a close harmony jazz a cappella ensemble. Tim also accompanies the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Chorus.

The College Community Chorus welcomes all interested singers to join the ensemble. Numbering nearly 100 singers, the chorus is conducted by Jeff Rehbach. The group is open without audition or fees to all singers who can follow a musical score. Its members travel from throughout the region to participate in this 150-year-old community tradition, hosted by Middlebury College.

For more information, check on the web at http://go.middlebury.edu/communitychorus or contact director Jeff Rehbach at 9897355 or manager Barbara Merz at 443-5356.

Attention Vermont:

INFO YOU SHOULD KNOW about Medicare

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Why you should consider a Medicare Advantage plan Medicare Advantage plans include the same benefits as basic Medicare, plus additional coverage.

For many people, these plans provide the right balance of value, affordability and peace of mind.

Why it may be a better choice than a supplemental plan Medicare Advantage plans are simple to use and easy to understand—with the convenience of a single monthly bill for medical and drug coverage—and they can cost less than supplemental plans.

Why the Star Rating matters The Star Rating is a quick way to compare Medicare Advantage plan options. The rating system was developed by the Federal Medicare program, which rates plans from 1 to 5 stars—with 5 being the best—measuring things like quality and customer service. Before you choose, look to the stars!

Will job creation be Job 1?

N

ow that Randy Brock has won the Vermont Republican primary—and is the official GOP nominee for governor—it’s time for a gubernatorial candidate debate. But the debate shouldn’t be just between Shumlin and Brock. This year, voters have a lot of candidates to consider for governor.

Regarding my dream gubernatorial debate, I’d like to see what specific plans incumbent Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) has for creating more wealth in Vermont—and by wealth creation, I mean more of the kind that I can keep in my wallet, and not the kind that is direct deposited to state coffers.

Even with a stagnant, dare I say lousy, job market in the state, Gov. Shumlin seems to be taking a cue from the current man in the White House; he doesn’t have mainstream business experience and he doesn’t have a clue about how to create real jobs—and those that offer more than just lateral movement for employees. Aside from the governor ’s limited success of attracting a few green jobs, what happened to those 2009 plans for jobs in electronics, aerospace, and bioscience?

In the midst of the morning flurry following the Vermont primary last week, Jack Lindley, chairman of the Vermont Republican Party and a local businessman, had some tough-love words for the governor.

“It seems that common sense has been missing from Gov. Shumlin’s administration,” Lindley said. “Ignoring job creation, which should be the number one issue for the state, the governor has spent all of his political capital on forcing a ‘single payer ’ healthcare scheme on us.”

In addition to the governor ’s obsession with top-down, state-run health care plans—all in the midst of an anemic economy that needs some health care of its own—he is now interested in spending more time than NORML with the legalize marijuana crowd, notably State Sen. Philip Baruth (D).

“We know that even with lots of money from the federal government, a whopping tax hike is likely,” Lindley told party faithful following Brock’s election win last week. “Skyrocketing taxes means fewer jobs, fewer businesses, and more people leaving Vermont in search of better opportunities elsewhere.”

Even with the opposition scolding the governor ’s poor job-creation performance record, what can voters do about the mess our state is in 2012?

How do we stop job killing tax increases that are driving people out of Vermont? If the governor and his party don’t change their game plan, then it’s time to change the governor and virtual one-party rule in Montpelier.

This year, Vermont voters have a choice for governor. It’s ot just Democrat and Republican. Let’s hear what all the other candidate’s plan to do to remove our tax albatross.

In addition to incumbent candidate Gov. Shumlin, there’s Randy Brock (Republican), Martha Abbott (Progressive), Cris Ericson (U.S. Marijuana Party), and Emily Peyton (Independent). Mainstream and moonbat choices, you say? Maybe, but I’d still like to hear what these men and women will do to change the course of state.

Let’s have a big, raucous debate with each candidate outlining his/her plans to get the Green Mountain State back on track. Sure, democracy is messy. And when it comes to intractable Montpelier, the more the merrier.

Louis Varricchio

Who do we fear most?

O

ver the next two weeks we’ll have the opportunity to hear the plans both presidential nominees and their respective parties have for our nation. As the accusations, truth twisting spin and political posturing takes place we can only hope that those who are undecided can find the information they need to reach a wise decision. One not reached from a position of fear, anger nor built on lies, but instead one made from sound facts and realistic hopes.

This nation has been blessed over time with the right leadership at just the right time to guide the country through very difficult times. We can only hope that once again the nation can come together and get behind a plan that begins to turn things around. Certainly in my lifetime I know of no other time as critical as the one we currently face. Our national identity and many of the principles we’ve held closely in the past seem to be brushed aside in favor of self wants. Far too many are treating this election like a sporting event more than making a life altering choice. With so much at stake I wonder what we fear more in the coming election — that the “wrong side” will lead the nation back to security and prosperity receiving all the credit or that the “right side” will unleash all the negatives we heard from the other side and push the nation farther into debt and further into despair?

If the contest is going to be about anything meaningful, it should be about how we are going to correct the nation’s finances, which presents a grave danger to American power and prosperity. The bi-partisan Bowles-Simpson plan offered solutions last year, but will either candidate be willing to address the issues in the same bipartisan manner that all Americans and both parties can get behind? The bipartisan commission of 18 members, including six senators and six representatives, tried to address the country's fiscal challenges, but Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan refused to support the majority's findings and President Obama also declined to pursue the suggested policies. If the solution is that radioactive and our current leaders refuse to even touch it what will it take for the nation to come to grips with these issues?

Can anyone see a path to resolving these financial issues or will both camps simply retreat to their extreme political bases with neither side giving an inch, thus putting America’s future on the line while they play tug-of-war? David Wessel, a Wall Street Journal columnist, recently released a book titled "Red Ink," a handy new guide to understanding the politics of the federal budget. While nobody loves the cost of gov-

ernment, everybody cherishes the things it specifically does for them. Wessel sums up the politics this way: "These diverse finanDan Alexander cial arrangements have Thoughts from one thing in common: at Behind the Pressline the end of the pipeline is some real American person who is getting a check or a promise. Most are convinced due to their circumstances they deserve the money and/or the promise granted by Uncle Sam." On the other side of the ledger from out of control government spending is the lost income from billions of dollars in tax deductions, exemptions and loopholes, for the rich that they too are convinced they rightfully deserve. Such tax bennies are no easier to do away with than reducing beloved spending programs: Congress and presidents know full well seriously addressing both sides of the ledger — spending and taxes — is the only way to correct the course, but until a true leader steps up and makes a convincing case to the American public that both spending and taxes must be a part of the solution, each side will play to fears and cheers of their immediate constituency and the day of reckoning is pushed farther out into the future.

It is for that reason that many people believe the day of reckoning should be addressed now without waiting until the issue is so massive the solutions will be far more costly and painful. With the US debt now nearing $16 trillion and the debt per taxpayer at about $140,000 how much longer can we go on allowing our president and Congress to ignore this crisis?

It’s painfully clear neither side can solve the problem alone, but neither is prepared to work together and until that happens, nothing will happen except what we should really be fearing.

America has many problems and the national economy, while topping the list, is but one of the hot buttons in this year’s election. So listen closely over the next two weeks and keep an open mind. Discount the mudslinging, ignore the vicious attack ads and listen closely for what you would consider a reasonable solution to break the stalemate. But remember, only when the plan is equally painful to all will there be something of value on the table and my greatest fear, one I hope is unfounded, is that neither side is prepared to go that far.

Letter to the Editor Annual Wright reunion To the editor: An old brass cannon fired the volley that started the 35th Wright family reunion in Addison County, Vt. It was recently held in the meadow of the Bridport farm that was bought by Edwin Elizah Wright in 1861.

Edwin built a new horse barn and a five holer in Bridport in 1871. The family has been doing business there for years. The Montgomery Ward catalogs are gone, but some Sears paper is still being used.

After milking, a backroads tractor hay wagon ride was held the night before. Of the 60 plus guests in attendance, the youngest was Eliza Myrick, who is a tenth generation Vermonter; the oldest was Kent Wright III; and traveling the farthest was Roger Wright from Las Vegas, Nev. The annual pie contest was won this year by Pamela Boyce, the judges being Jim Howell, Bruce Wright and Steve Myrick, Jr. The 36th reunion, to held on the last Sunday in July 2013, is being planned by the volunteering committee of Scott Myrick and Roger Wright.

Our State Fair is a great state fair

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — The Vermont State Fair is underway this week, so there’ still time to see all the attractions.

Look for the Green Mountain Outlook’s free, full-color Vermont State Fair guide booklet available at many Rutland-area retailers, convenience stores, and supermarkets.

The fair ends the evening of Thursday, Sept. 9. Grandstand performances are listed in the Outlook’s guidebook and on the fair ’s website www.vermontstatefair.com.

Here’s a brief overview, by no means complete, of the fair ’s many attractions geared for young and old alike: Midway amusements Carousel: The Carousel, also known as the Merry-Go-Round, allows riders to ride models of different sorts of animals around the base of the ride, under a roof covering it.

Castlerock (Scrambler Ride): Up to two riders sit in each of several passenger carriers, and are moved wildly around.

Gravitron: The Gravitron spins visitors around in circles faster than on any other ride at the fair. The ride forces passengers outward onto a cushioned wall.

Himalaya: The Himalaya is a small, yet fast roller-coaster-type ride in which visitors speed around a track forward and backward.

Tilt-A-Whirl: The Tilt-A-Whirl is a ride for children and adults of nearly all ages. On this ride, visitors sit in large passenger carriers as they spin in circles in all directions.

Kids enjoy the Himalaya ride on the midway: The Vermont State Fair at the Rutland Fairgrounds continues through Sept. 9.

Entertainment and Food This year ’s fair includes a variety of new performers and events as well as annual favorites. This list is by no means complete: Ashley Star: Ashley Star performs hoola hoop stunts. The performance includes her hoola hooping 50 hoola hoops at once.

Dining: Roxie's Famous French Fries is a restaurant located right inside the fair. The restaurant is known for its foot-long hotdogs; possibly the most popular place to eat at the fair.

Galaxy Girl: Galaxy Girl performs stunts on a tall stunt tower while Johnny Rocketnarrates. While at the

All by myself

I

’ve known my best buddy for 35 years.

He was 10 years old and I was 15.

When my high school band would play a concert for the grade school kids, I’d snatch buddy Eric from class to help set-up my drums. We’ve been tight every since.

We’ve never been ticked at each other, no fights.

Oddly enough, we even look similar. So similar, that if we go to Burlington to gander at chicks, we make sure to not wear similar clothes; if we did, we’d look like absolute nimrods.

We’re both self-employed, which gives one total flexibility over one’s schedules. (Since the Royal wedding I’ve been on a kick of using, “one” instead of “someone” or “somebody”.)

So, I’m utilized my flex schedule recently to visit my sister Holly in Albuquerque, N.M. Holly and I spent time in Santa Fe looking at art and blue sky. It was fun. Always good to see my sister who works as a campus director at a college. Like me and my pal Eric, Holly is single. Holly and I are very close, too. If we have the rare argument, it’s not anything lasting more then a few minutes.

Eric, a woodsman, just took a two-day jaunt to Maine to rummage around the woods looking for moose sheds.

Eric doesn’t plan his scouting trips; he decides to do them and then—boom, bang—he’s off. He lands way up the end of a road he’s hunted for years, 70 miles from the nearest Hannaford supermarket, and 30 miles from the nearest Ma n’ Pa store that he says, is more like a real Ma and Pa’s house— where one can buy cigs and boiled eggs—than a general store.

Eric brings hamburgs, hot dogs, a small cook stove, soda, and a tiny heater, and camps in back of his early 2000s model Dodge Durango truck.

Eric describes his scavenger hunt for moose sheds with the zeal of a geology grad student on an African safari. He retires at 7:30 p.m. in the rear of his Durango; he falls asleep to the call of nearby loons. Rising at 5:30 a.m., and stepping through the deep Maine wilderness for hours and hours searching for sheds, the only sound he hears

top, Galaxy Girl educates the audience about the stunt tower using a microphone.

Las Vegas Magic: Magical illusion show complete with free stage, sound and lights.

Petting Zoo: The fair's petting zoo allows visitors to touch and feel animals. These animals include sheep, goats, a bull, and others. Nearby is a camel ride, and horse rides.

Rosie's Racing Pigs: Pigs race around a small track to get to a bowl of food. There are three races, each with a different breed of pigs. An announcer talks about the pigs as they race.

when he stops for a bit of lunch is the sound of the wind.

Now, sister Holly has two cats. She’s around folks all day at work, but mostly when she’s home, beside black and white Nickie and Natalie, she’s alone. She takes an overnight in Santa Fe every now and then, sometimes with a friend, sometimes alone.

I live with my cat Scarlet at road’s end, high up the side of a mountain, in a house with very little space to hang art because of the abundance of windows set through which to view other mountains and many valleys and various critters of land and air. I’m not a woodsman, but I take a daily hike behind my house to the ridge of the mountain, alone, worshiping nature’s many gifts each step of the way. My hikes take and hour or two.

I’m not as hardy as Eric in that I’d rather sleep in a comfortable bed then in the back of a rig. Eric, my sister, and I apparently would just as soon sleep alone.

I’m often asked, “You don’t have kids? Aren’t you scared you’ll be alone when you get older with no one to take care of you?”

No. I’m alone now and not scared. Am I going to change when I’m 75 and start not enjoying living alone? I doubt it.

I know a woman with six kids, grandkids numbering in the teens, and a few great grandkids. She’s age 75, widowed, seemingly doing quite well, but if you talk with her it becomes apparent that she’s nearly always feeling very alone, lonesome, depressed, her kids say. I know for a fact that a couple of this woman’s kids and grandkids check in with her a day or two a week—so for her to say she’s always alone isn’t literally accurate. She just feels alone in relation to her hey day when her husband was alive and her kids were all younger and at home. And this she feels with kids, grandkids and great grand kids living all very close to her, many in the same small town.

Maybe living alone is good because if you live to be very old, you’re mostly forgotten, or should I say, you’re not normally on the top of everyone’s visiting list?

In our youthful and coupled society relevancy has not set a place for you to sit; your kids have kids who have kids who get the attention, so if you end up spending most all of your time alone, if you’re used to being alone, you won’t feel abandoned, lonesome, and in some cases depressed.

So, all you folks who’re surrounded by lots of family all the time: don’t you go worrying about Holly, Eric, and I. If we three live out our last years mostly alone, you may want to envy us or at least study us just a touch to see how we’re spending great amounts of time alone. You may want to call on a similar ability in your final years.

Maybe it is a good thing to be alone.

Town flood regs need work, Middlebury board says for telecommuters and initiatives to promote Middlebury as a winter vacation destination.

Wilson also noted that attendance at events to date is up 25 percent from last year, with Spooktacular and Very Merry Middlebury to come.

Selectman Victor Nuovo said that while events are good, the rationale for the Town of Middlebury's subsidy of the marketing position of the BMP is to increase retail activity.

Wilson agreed noting that the sale “Middlebury Money” has expanded in the last year and that the BMP is trying to get a merchants group together.

Appointment to the Recreation Committee The Select Board appointed Greg Boglioli to the Recreation Committee.

Susan Shashok and Craig Bingham will serve as the board’s representatives on the Committee and Monica Binghamand Brooke Jette will continue to serve on the Committee. Representation on the Committee by Addison County Teens and the Ilsley Public Library still needs to be formalized.

Recreation Report The Middlebury Parks & Recreation Director position has been advertised. Interviews will be held in October with the goal of having a new director in place for Jan. 1.

Business Development Advisory Board The Business Development Advisory Board is continuing to refine the strategy for fundraising for the business component of the initiative.

Town Center Steering Committee

MIDDLEBURY—Middlebury’s proposed flood/fluvial erosion hazard regulations need more work, according to the Middlebury Select Board. After the board’s public hearing on the flood/fluvial erosion hazard regulations, members decided Aug. 28 that the proposed regulations need more fine tuning and will work with staff to revise the regulations.

Gary Baker, Susan Shashok and Nick Artim will work with Planning and Zoning staff to revise the regulations for the Board's review. There will be a public hearing on the revised regulations.

Public Input Residents of South Street thanked the Board for posting the new 25 mph speed limit, inquired about driver feedback signs in both directions, additional speed enforcement, particularly at shift changes, and suggested installing either "children at play" or speed limit signs on existing "no parking" sign posts to better utilize available space on the sign posts to provide a low-cost reminder to drivers to slow down.

East Middlebury resident Bob Wells inquired about the town's removal of woody debris and gravel from the Middlebury River. John Tenny thanked retiring Town Manager Bill Finger for his 12 years of service to the Town Better Middlebury Partnership BMP President Ben Wilson reviewed the quarterly report for April through June with the Board and noted the success of the Midd Summer Festival, an upcoming series of events

Donovan concedes in Democrat A.G. primary race

By Lou Varricchio

Incumbent Sorrell will face long-time Vermont resident and Republican Jack McMullen.

In 2004, McMullen, an attorney and former Harvard University law professor, was the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate from Vermont. He is a Navy veteran who served on the staff of Admiral Rickover overseeing the retrofit of advanced technology reactors into the Navy’s nuclear fleet.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — Rising Vermont liberal Democrat, and big labor friend, candidate T.J. Donovan of Chittenden County conceded the Democratic primary race for attorney general to incumbent Attorney General William Sorrell (D) Aug. 29.

Sorrell, who describes himself as a corporate “giant killer”, won by approximately 600 votes in the hotly contested 2012 primary race.

Donovan said he will campaign for Sorrell’s reelection in November.

Green Mt. Club offers tips for hiking with dogs New Green Mt. Club video

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — If you’re an avid trekker in Vermont, you’ve likely noticed the increase in hikers and their dogs on trails around the Green and Taconic mountains. The trend is likely to continue and now Vermont’s Green Mountain Club, one of the nation’s oldest hiking and trail conservation clubs, has issued guidelines on how to take dogs in the backcountry.

The Green Mountain Club just released a four-part educational video series with expert advice. The series, titled “Hiking with Dogs” was produced in Vermont.

“For people who have been thinking about bringing their dog with them when hiking, we provide a lot of helpful information to get them started,” said Richard Windish, former Green Mountain Club president. He hosts the new video series along with a long-time trail companion—a dog named Jack.

“The videos also have plenty of tips for people who have some experience hiking with a dog, but would like to get into more advanced aspects of it, such as staying at Long Trail shelters overnight, and trail etiquette for dogs and dog owners,” Windish said.

Most of Windish’s basic tips are no brainers—such as what to bring on a day hike and when to leash a dog—but where the videos become important to dog-owners is when it discusses animal health on the trail. Windish also provides good ideas on accommodating a pooch on extended backpacking trips.

Included on the GMC videos are interviews with veterinarian Paul Alfarone of Bear Swamp Veterinary Service, dogtrainer Kasandra Fleury of the Central Vermont Humane Society, and Grant Gunther of the Outdoor Gear Exchange.

“We also talked with several Green Mountain Club caretakers about what they see out on the trails every day, and what dog owners should be doing to both protect the environment and make hiking with dogs enjoyable for everyone,” Windish said. “We encourage all hikers who have dogs to view this informative four-part series.”

“Hiking with Dogs” videos are free and can be screened on the Green Mountain Club’s YouTube channel, at http://www.youtube.com/user/GreenMountainClub/featured.

Sorry, DVDs are not available at this time, according to Windish.

The Green Mountain Club just released a four-part educational online video series with expert advice about bringing dogs along on Vermont hiking and camping trips. The series, titled “Hiking with Dogs”, was produced in Vermont.

Rep. Welch urges Environmental Protection Agency to waive ethanol-fuel mandate MIDDLEBURY — Vermont U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D) has urged the Environmental Protection Agency to ease its mandate requiring the blending of ethanol in U.S. gasoline and other fuels.

In a news statement Aug. 23, Welch said the mandate should be eased due to the worst drought in 50 years; the drought is pushing feed prices higher and adding to the struggles of Vermont dairy farmers, the congressman’s statement said.

Welch is not alone in calling for the EPA easement. He is among a growing bipartisan group of 156 legislators,

Approximately $7,100 in various chains and snow plow parts were stolen from the Panton Town Garage, according to the Vermont State Police in New Haven. The crime is considered to be grand larceny in Vermont.

$7,100 in metal parts stolen from Panton Town Garage

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com PANTON — Vermont State Police troopers are currently investigating the Aug. 29 report of stolen metal from the Panton Town Garage.

Approximately $7,100 in various chains and snow plow parts were stolen from the garage site. The crime is considered to be grand larceny in Vermont.

The rise in recent metal thefts in Addison County reflects a national trend, according to the Vermont State Police. As metal prices rise, so do the number of metal thefts.

According to National Insurance Crime Bureau, “Since August 2009, metal thefts have steadily increased across the nation, driven by rising prices for base metals… especially copper. Whether the theft is an expensive personal irritant, like finding your catalytic converter has been stolen, or

one that threatens public safety, as when the theft of copper wiring blacked out runway approach lights at a regional airport— metal thefts are increasing in frequency and severity.”

The National Insurance Crime Bureau lists over 25,000 claims for the theft of copper, bronze, brass, or aluminum from 2009 to 2011. Of these, 96 percent concerned copper theft.

Vermont State Police Trooper Andrew Leise of the New Haven Barracks is investigating the Panton theft. He said businesses as well as residents should secure their metal property to insure it is not stolen.

Anyone with information about the Panton theft is asked to contact Leise at 3884919. Information can also be submitted anonymously online at www.vtips.info<http://www.vtips.info/ > or text "CRIMES" (274637) to Keyword: VTIPS.

including 30 Democrats and 126 Republicans, calling for the easing. All have called on the EPA to reduce or waive the Renewable Fuel Standard. The national standard requires that 10 percent of all fuel used in cars, trucks and farm vehicles come from corn-based ethanol.

“Producing that much ethanol can consume up to 40 percent of the U.S. corn supply. And with the drought causing expected yields to plummet and prices to soar, price forecasts are up nearly 40 percent in a month,” Welch said in his news statement.

Addison County Bocce Tournament benefits crisis-emergency services MIDDLEBURY — The Counseling Service of Addison County's Second Annual Bocce Tournament at the athletic field next to the Mary Hogan Elementary School in Middlebury, Friday, Sept. 14. Check in time is 9:30 a.m., play starts at 10 a.m.

The event will benefit CSAC’s EmergencyCrisis Services for all of Addison County.

CSAC runs more than $250,000 in services every year that are not funded because they are committed to doing what it takes to deliver critical and needed services to the people who need them.

“This is common sense.

Corn prices are surging and Vermont dairy farmers are struggling. Whatever we can do to bring relief amidst the worst drought in 50 years we should do,” the congressman said. “I’d like to eliminate the ethanol mandate forever, but let’s at least waive it temporarily for struggling farmers in this extremely difficult drought.”

Welch said he wants to end taxpayer support of the ethanol industry including a protective import tariff that adds 54 cents per gallon of fuel.

The public may sponsor a court or sponsor a team.

Call Sara Mason at 388-4021 for registration details.

Turnout low for Vermont primary MIDDLEBURY — Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos reported that, based on reports from town clerks across the state, voter turnout for the Aug. 28 primary election was lower than expected.

“Turnout seems to have been pretty low,” according to news statement released by Condos’ office. “We were hoping to have 8 to 10 percent; we don’t know if we’re going to get there.”

Condos noted that out of 446,000 registered voters statewide, only between 32,000 and 44,000 will have cast their ballots.

Guest Commentary

Vermont: a road not taken

By Martin Harris

newmarketpress@denpubs.com In a quasi-historical rerun, the Green Mountain State now seems once again to have reached consensus on a long-range economic development objective, only to default before commitment.

Last time around, in the 1960s, it was the newly-ascendant political left (Philip Hoff had just been elected first Democrat governor in 150 years, thanks to previously invisible changes in the attitudes of an apparently significantly changed electorate which made his campaign successful) which argued for Vermont’s future as the Education State.

They envisaged in that economic sector a clean and profitable multi-faceted industry without smokestacks or manufacturing or warehousing, but one which could coexist comfortably with a bucolic countryside then entering the post-World War II years of declining prospects for commercial agriculture. But then, for a variety of reasons, that focus never actually happened as policy.

Since then, the emphasis hasn’t been on support for any specific economic sector so much as on opposition to commercial (and even residential) development of any economically significant scale, as the once famous (and publicly

quite popular) 10-acre lot exurban low-density rural growth pattern took hold.

For a few, late-20th century decades it seemed to meet the objectives of the inmigrating suburbanites from the metropoli to the South: a good-size place in the country, the notion of economic self sufficiency beyond city utilities and grocery stores, an economic base composed of varying portions of electronic telecommuting, government and thinktank employment, even crafts and farmers markets, all in a bucolic setting long on trees, grass, fields, and viewscapes, and short on big-box stores, modest-lot suburban housing, large-scale industry, strip development, and parking lots.

Historically, this image has both deep and shallow roots: it embodies the Jeffersonian notion of yeoman independence in a mixed agrarian-business economy, and in the Vermont 10-acre lot form (not a part of Act 250, as widely believed), but rather part of new on-site sewage regulations from the same early 1970s period) it came to embody an early form of post-industrial economics for a small state; a state with a population mix then becoming politically dominated by upper-middle-class in-migrants eager to mix their notions of rural self-sufficiency with their abilities to maintain necessary cash income via information-sector or passive sources.

Such concepts have been publicized by a series of books, some going back almost to the Currier-and-Ives years, and some published by government (USDA) with titles like “Five Acres and Independence”, and new titles constantly appear-

Nothing delivers like the

ing.

In today’s language, mini-homesteads foster environmental virtues such as grow-your-own food, the localvore movement, renewable energy production, low-carbon footprint lifestyles, sustainability, organics, and even harmonizing with Gaia.

What derailed it was the Smart-Growth movement, an anti all-of-the-above campaign which called it all sprawl and began campaigning for smaller houses on smaller lots served by all the usual public utilities.

Residents could take pride in living in rowhousing, taking light rail to work, walking to the local food co-op, pedaling bicycles around in-town rotaries (when the weather cooperated), and so on. Such lifestyles and development patterns have been intensively used in places like Portland, Ore., and Jupiter, Fla., and are the favored approach in much contemporary planning and zoning theory.

In Vermont, advocates apparently believe they can reverse long held public attitudes on these subjects, but the immediate result has been that - as with the earlier notions of an education state - a public opinion-supported movement which once seemed to enjoy political favor has been neutralized; we don’t yet know whether the long-standing Vermont preferences for an exurban sort of bucolic but sophisticated development pattern will be conquered by the back-to-thecity anti-sprawl movement.

Killington marks Irene anniversary with driving tour KILLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On Aug. 28, 2011, the State of Vermont experienced two phenomena, the flooding and damage caused by Tropical Storm Irene which challenged Vermonters, and the courage and strength of residents that defines the state.

Killington, one of the hardest hit areas in the northeast,was cut off by destroyed roads and downed power lines for over two weeks, yet it managed to reopen 19 days later in an inspiring show of small town values and community spirit.

To recognize this momentous one-year anniversary, the Town of Killington partnered with locations in Woodstock, Stockbridge, and Pittsfield to create a self-guided driving tour of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardest-hit locations.

Stops along the route were marked with One Year Stronger signage and featured before and after photos, stories, and tales from local heroes.

Designated stops included the once-flooded Woodstock Farmers Market, destroyed intersection of Route 4 and River Road in Killington, and the rebuilt covered bridge in Pittsfield.

In conjunction with the State of Vermont, visitors were encouraged to submit their photos along the tour to a website.

A photo contest, aimed at spreading Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message of beauty, strength and recovery, is currently underway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We created the tour to highlight our strength, resiliency, volunteerism, local heroes, and uniqueness not just in our communities, but as a state,â&#x20AC;? said Suzie Dundas, director of Vermont Economic Development and Tourism and former communications director for Central Vermont Hurricane relief efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tour allowed guests to experience what it was like to be here during the hurricane at their own pace, and allowed them to celebrate our strength, or reflect independently on the work and recovery still ongoing.â&#x20AC;?

The tour took place Sept. 3, and started at the Ramshead Base Lodge at Killington Resort; visitors picked up a map

Large sections of U.S Route 4 in Killington, Vt., washed away Aug. 28, 2011. Rebuilding the highway cost millions of U.S. and Vermont taxpayer-funded dollars.

and pamphlet of the sites along the route.

Megan Smith, commissioner of Vermont Tourism and Marketing, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think this tour was a great way for anyone who heard about Killington locally, nationally, or had a special tie to Vermont to come and experience a bit of what it was like in the days and weeks following Irene, and be inspired and amazed at the strength of the Vermonters who came together to get our state back on its feet so quickly.â&#x20AC;?

the Omya truck fleet driving through town in a daily basis, while Middlebury neighbors, that would have been affected by the rail spur, opposed it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is very good news for all us local residents,â&#x20AC;? said Michael J. Lobner, III, a long-time renter living on Halladay Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Downtown Brandonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem was just being shifted to residents of Middlebury to deal with; we would have had to bear the burden of the rail noise and locomotive diesel pollution. This thing better be dead for good now.â&#x20AC;?

The project idea was first proposed in 1991 at $7.5 million, but the cost of the spur increased as the years and environmental studies mounted.

Annette Smith, a Rutland County resident and head of Vermonters for a Clean Environment, has been a vocal opponent of the spur. She was pleased with Omyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to suspend the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the right thing to do,â&#x20AC;? she told a news reporter.

promoted to the Burlington Bees of the Midwest League lasy week as the Bees fight for a playoff spot with five games remaining in their season, the Lake Monsters announced today.

Wooten leaves the Lake Monsters leading the team in most major offensive categories, including a .286 average with four homers and 38 RBI. He is currently tied for third in the New York-Penn League with 75 hits and is also second in games played with 67, having missed just two of Vermont's first 69 games. A 38th-round pick in the 2012 draft out of East Carolina University, Wooten also leads the team in doubles with 16 (tied for eighth-most in Lake Monsters history).

The Bees have a magic number of four to clinch a Midwest League playoff spot with five games remaining in their season.

With the recent promotion of Drew Gagnier to Stockton in the California League and Austin House to Burlington, the Lake Monsters currently have just 23 players on the active roster.

Vermont plays its last road game of the season tonight at Lowell before beginning a six-game homestand at historic Centennial Field this week. The Lake Monsters will host the Stedler Division champion Tri-City ValleyCats over the weekend before ending the season with a three-game series with the Aberdeen Ironbirds.
