MIDDLEBURY—Members of Middlebury College’s Class of 2015 arrived on campus this week to begin their journey thr ough four years of under graduate studies at the pr estigious Vermont school. The college’s fr eshmen class—numbering 580 students—gr eeted each other, met faculty, and listened to a sobering convocation addre ss by President Ronald D. Liebowitz.

Liebowitz who addressed students on campus at Mead Chapel, said students must be pr epared “for the challenges of globalization brought on by the events of Sept.

11, 2001.”

Leibowitz told students that 9/11 showed the U.S. was unprepared to deal with a world that had changed dramatically since the 1970s.

Leibowitz also noted that most freshmen were under 9 years old on Sept. 11, 2001.

“For you, the changes in the American psyche brought on by 9/1 1 ar e second natur e,” he said. “They ar e the norm, what you know. As a result you will elect to study languages, you will engage in outre ach projects anywhere in the world and you will probably work harder and with more focus than most of us ever did to prepare yourselves to compete in labor markets that have become profoundly global. You are in some important ways the antithesis of the pre-9/11 generation.”

Middlebury’s president left students with some sage academic advice: “V iew your time her e as a way to study both broadly and deeply.” He also urged new students to “find a significant connection here and find it early.”

After the storm: new tools for farmers

T

his week, our newspaper looks at two of Vermont’s most visible late summer harvest crops—apples and pumpkins.

While we recognize the importance of apples to the state’s agricultural mix, pumpkins often get scant attention. Considering Halloween, autumn decorating, and Thanksgiving, pumpkins play a bigger part in Vermonters’ cultural lives than you might think.

This year’s apple harvest—while perhaps better than expected considering an early spring and late summer of lousy weather— was not as good as previous years. Still, orchard owners can be thankful; it could have been much worse. There are still lots of apples and plenty of cider to sell.

Talking with a few apple growers in Addison, Rutland and Windsor counties, it was amazing to learn that, at least when it came to Hurricane Irene’s tropical storm edition here in Vermont, location and terrain made all the difference.

In Addison County, it wasn’t Irene that did the bulk of the damage. No, it was—instead—all the heavy rain in spring that interrupted apple-tree pollination. Who would have imagined that the heavy rains of spring 2011 would become more of a problem than Tropical Storm Irene?

A few orchards in Rutland County experienced more Irene damage than their northern counterparts; but that isn’t surprising. In Windsor County, two of several orchards there reported only minor damage from Irene.

We always hear about highway and bridge infrastructure when it comes to storm damage in our state, but it seems agriculture got overlooked last month.

When you realize just how much farmers depend upon the weather (and the land) to make a living, you understand just how vulnerable our ag infrastructure can be.

It’s time for the State of Vermont to take a more serious, high-tech approach to how future weather and climate change will affect state agriculture.

Are we providing our farmers with all the necessary technical weather/climate data and related technology to make better informed weather-planning decisions on the ground?

For example, the Upper Midwest Aerospace Consortium based at the University of North Dakota has provided real-time NASA and NOAA satellite data to farmers and ranchers to better understand moisture and frost damage on their land—over time.

Are such Space Age tools, already paid for by the taxpayers, being made available to Vermont’s dairy and crop farmers?

It’s time to think outside the box in helping support Vermont farming and making it a model for the nation. The tools are out there. All we need do is get our hands on them.

Welch co-sponsors Irene farm bill

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com WASHINGTON, D.C. — Vermont U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D) joined U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson (R-N.Y.) in introducing bipartisan legislation to help farmers currently ineligible for disaster assistance become eligible.

assistance because they did not have crop insurance when the storm hit, a requirement under current law.

The W elch/Gibson Bill (H.R. 2905) would temporarily waive this requirement, allowing farmers access to USDAassistance. Farmers taking advantage of the waiver would be r equired to pur chase cr op insurance.

“These farms ar e integral to Vermont and we need to get them the help they need. In the short term, this legislation will help Vermont farmers get back on their feet. In the long term, it will str engthen V ermont’s farming industry by ensuring our farmers’ crops are insured in future disasters.”

Farmers in all V ermont counties w ould be e ligible t o apply for the waiver.

T

he month of September 2011 was a fr esh, new turning point forAmerica’s space agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration—NASA. There was finally some good news to r eport after two years of management indecision and missed public relations opportunities.

After more than 24 months of agency angst over federal budget reality and a new Washington administration’s “change”, many outside observers wondered if they were watching the demise ofAmerica in space. (The ill-timed space-shuttle program ending didn’t help matters either .) But when it comes to NASA, appearances are often skin deep and resurrections are scientifically possible.

Recovering fr om the change of focus in manned spaceflight beginning in late 2009 (not all for the good) NASA officials have had to roll with the punches; however , they again have demonstrated their agency’s ability to live up to its founding mission as envisioned by President Eisenhower in 1958.

Last week, NASA made of ficial a new vision for space travel that it is very exciting, if somewhat more cautious than the Apollo days.

Both the Orion spacecraft—established under the Bush administration in 2004—and a giant carrier r ocket (formerly known as the Ares V, but now r evamped and dubbed the SLS or Space Launch System r ocket) have survived the Obama’s administration need to mark its own territory. And aside from no plans to land on the Moon anytime before 2030, NASA’s Constellation program vision remains intact even if it’s no longer called such; the new effort is a leaner, less ambitious one than that envisioned by the pr evious White House administration.

No matter, NASA’s new SLS r ocket will rival the old Saturn-5 rocket in both height and pounds of thrust. Like the 1960s, it will employ a lar ge work force including engineers and technicians; its construction network will span 30 states. And during the course of the next 6-8 years or mor e, the rocket project will see quite a few technological spinoffs.

Standing 320 feet tall, this manned rocket will also have a lar ger unmanned car go companion (standing 400 feet tall!) to loft futur e planetary landers and space station components into orbit.

Both SLS rockets will incorporate technology already d eveloped f rom t he S aturn-5 a nd t he space-shuttle program.

The SLS’s main engine will be the space-shuttle’s main engine, the RS-25D/E. An upper stage rocket will be based on the Saturn-5’s upper stage engine. So, taxpayer investments ar e being well served her e. And “r ecycling” is a good idea when billions of dollars have alr eady been spent in rocket R&D. With the SLS rocket, we’ll see a return to the USA’s human interplanetary adventure. The basic SLS rocket and its taller sibling will pr ovide the means for returning humans to the Moon and going on to Mars.

Sitting 30 stories atop the SLS or cket will be the Apollo-like reusable Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. This aerodynamic craft looks like a beefier version ofApollo; it is roomier than Apollo and will hold up to seven astronauts and supplies for longer space treks.

While Orion’s service module component will be discarded when it r eturns to Earth, the command module will be r eusable. Mor e versatile than the shuttle in space, Orion will be ideal for trips to the Moon, asteroids, and even Mars and Mercury. Close observational flybys of V enus with a human crew are also possible.

Funded at $3 billion a year , the SLS pr ogram (excluding Orion) is well within NASA’s current budget. Its first flight is planned by 2017 with Orion’s first crewed flight to go around the Moon a short time later.

A 2025 aster oid mission is planned as a pr elude to a Mars trek. In the meantime, a lander will have to be developed and tested in both Earth and lunar orbit.

According to NASAAdministrator Dr. Charles Bolden Sept. 14, “the next chapter of America’s space-exploration is being written today.”

Barring unexpected financial and political obstacles (always a reality in today’s fits-and-starts space game), Bolden’s wor ds may become as prophetic as JFK’s classic 1961 “Race to the Moon” speech.

MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County Chamber of Commerce recognized local businesses, organizations, and individuals with its annual awards during the Chamber’s annual meeting held on Sept. 8 at the Middlebury Inn. Four awards were presented in front of a crowd of 100 attendees which included Chamber members, local business people and other dignitaries. In addition to the awar d presentations, the Chamber membership voted on a new boar d of directors.

Vermont Hard Cider Company was pr esented with the Business of the Year Award which is given to a business located in Addison County that demonstrates excellent business practices and provides a positive impact on the community. According to Andy Mayer , Chamber pr esident, “Vermont Har d Cider ’s gr owth, commitment to Addison County, and commitment to the envir onment, while enhancing the Vermont brand make them a natural choice for the award.”

In addition to the Business of the Year award, the Addison County Chamber presented its Buster Brush Citizen of the Year Award which is given to an individual who has made numerous contributions to the community without the expectation of acknowledgement. This year two recipients were presented with the award—Lorraine Franklin of Addison and Kar en Hennessy of Cr own Point, N.Y .

Franklin and Hennessy are co-founders of the Lake Champlain Bridge Coalition. Rep. Diane Lanpher , District 3, said, “As co-founders of the Coalition, they demonstrated the necessary spirit to achieve success by using their tenacity to hold communities together . Without their ef forts I believe area businesses and workers would have fracture d into less than ef fective entities. They showed extraor dinary leadership, r efusing to settle for anything less than full unity. This unity comes in the form of a bridge. Their effort to r econnect their once separated communities has been relentless.”

The Chamber ’s Community Achievement Award is given to a not-for-profit organization for outstanding services and leadership to the community. The Chamber r ecognized Helen Porter Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center as an outstanding healthcare provider and business.

Keep Your Home Exterior in Top Shape Feel like cheating? For get what the inside of your home looks like for just a bit and focus on your home's exterior.

"The exterior of your home makes a lasting and daily impression on your friends and family, along with your neighbors," says Mark Clement, professional contractor and host of MyFixItUpLife home impr ovement radio show . "While the weather is good, my advice is to get outside and fix up problem areas, work on the landscaping and invest in products that make your home's exterior not only look gre at, but work great."

Clement, who is in the middle of an ongoing r enovation of his 100-year -old home in Pennsylvania, r ecommends assessing your needs and then diving in on pr ojects. "On the exterior of the home ther e are three big, critical areas I recommend people evaluate every year -- the oof, r the windows and the entry door. Those are key areas because, along with being visual focal points of the home, they help pr otect a house from severe weather. And, if you have problems with older windows, doors or r oofing tiles, you'r e looking at higher ener gy bills and gr owing pr oblems that can af fect your wallet long-term."

Clement offers these r ecommendations for keeping your home exterior in top shape:

Roofing Tips: 1. Check your roof yearly (from a ladder or from a neighbor's home with binoculars) to determine the condition of your roof. Look for pr oblem areas, such as missing or br oken shingles, along with roofing tiles that may be "flapping" in the wind. These are all indications that a new ro of may be in your future.

2. Don't forget to check the sides of your roof. The southern exposur e weathers significantly faster than the other sides of the roof, so make sure to carefully examine this one.

Also, shallower pitches weather faster than steeper pitches.

So again, if your r oof has a shallow pitch -- like a shed Contractor Mark Clement installs polymer DaVinci Slate tiles on his home. dormer -- make certain you can clearly see it to get a tr ue indication of the condition of your roof.

Ask for a written job estimate and r eferences along with warranty information for both the roof you select and his installation services.

Trim Tips:

Entry Door Tips: 1. If you can see light around your main entry door from the inside, the door is har d to close or lock, or the door itself is warped, it's time to consider a new door.

2. Even if you can't see light, air may be moving through gaps in the weather stripping at a surprising rate. On a very cold or hot day , hold the back of your hand an inch or so away from the bottom and perimeter of your door . If you can feel air moving or a significant cold spot, that's a signal your existing door could benefit from better sealing.

3. Determine what r ole you would like an entry door to play on your home's exterior . Do you want it to be a focal point with a splash of color? Is it important that you have decorative glass in the door system? Will you need vented sidelites to allow more light and air into your home? Searc h the web for "Door Designer" and "My Saved Door" online tools to help visualize how a new door will look on your home.

4. Think about the weather conditions your home's door faces along with your ener gy bills. If either r un to the extreme, consider r eplacing your entryway with a high-performance fiberglass door (which has four times more insulation than wood doors). You can also request features such as the Tru-Defense(R) Door System from Therma-Tru Doors that features enhanced weatherstripping, corner seal pad, door bottom sweep and profiled sill that all work together to provide strength and stability in your entry door.

Improving Energy Efficiency Tops Wish List When Remodeling Home

Homeowners concerned about high energy bills have put energy conservation home impr ovements at the top of their must-do list this year . They ar e looking for gr een living upgrades that save money without sacrificing space or style.

Additionally, if living by green principles is important to you — and it should be — pr operly burning local wood in a high efficiency wood stove is an environmentally-sound action. Given that the use of sustainably-harvested, pr operly pr ocessed and seasoned wood for ener gy displaces the use of fossil fuels, the result is a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Funding your next improvement Maintenance is an inevitable part of home ownership. Beyond routine fixes, many homeowners aspire toward larger projects such as room expansion or a new roof or siding. Funding for these pr ojects may a loan from the bank.

A home equity loan or line of credit are common ways to pay for home r enovations. A home equity loan can be used for a number of things, including paying education expenses or buying luxury items.

Oftentimes, a homeowner chooses to borrow against the equity in the homes to make improvements that will increase the value of the property.

A home equity loan is also known as a second mortgage.

Homeowners borr ow money by leveraging the equity in their homes. Equity is the amount of ownership value a homeowner has in a pr operty. It is calcul ated by subtracting the unpaid mortgage balance and other debts on the home from the property's fair market value. It's important to note that some home values decr ease during times of economic downturn. Ther efore, homeowners should do their homework prior to starting any impr ovements to determine if a home equity loan is a good idea.

There ar e two main types of home equity loans: A fixed-rate loan or a home equity line of credit.

With a fixed-rate loan, a lump sum is pr ovided to the homeowner, which is then r epaid over a set period of time with a fixed interest rate that is agr eed upon by the lender and the lendee. The payment and inter est rate r emain the same for the life of the loan.

When homeowners choose a home equity line of credit, or HELOC, it is like they are using a credit car d linked to their home's value. Borr owers ar e pr e-approved for a set amount against which they can borrow. Monthly payments m ay v ary a nd t he i nterest rate is based on the curre nt interest rate, meaning it can fluctuate.

When getting estimates on the work, whether it will be done by a contractor or a DIY pr oject, the homeowner should then make a list of appr oximate costs (r ounding up) and then compare it against the available funds.

Permits Many projects, especially those involving building, demolition, electrical work, or mold remediation, require permits issued by the town, province or city in which the work will be taking place.

The p urpose o f p ermits a nd s ubsequent inspections is often questioned by homeowners looking to cir cumvent the system.

However, building permits ar e r equired to ensure public safety , health and welfar e as they ar e af fected by building constr uction, structural str ength, zoning, and code r equirements. In essence, building permits are how th e g overnment r egulates s afety a nd protects both current and future residents of the property.

In many cases, homeowners will need to visit the municipal building in their respective towns and apply for a permit. The permit may not immediately be issued. Oftentimes, there is a waiting period during which the project's legality and safety is examined.

Once the pr oject is appr oved, the applicant will be able to file for the actual permit(s).

There is usually a fee or fees for permit application, which covers any clerical work.

Work should not begin until a permit is er ceived, and then the permit generally has to be placed in plain sight, such as in a window of the building. Depending on building codes, inspections of the work may need to take place after all of the project is completed or during certain phases. For example, the building of a deck may r equire inspections after footings are installed and secured, and befor e the upper portions of the decking materials are attached. If an inspection takes place afterward, the inspector will be looking for key code issues to determine whether the work was completed successfully. If a contractor was used, he or she may have to be present at the time of the inspection. If the work passes, an approval will be given and put on er cord. If the work fails, applicable repairs will have to be made and a re-inspection will be scheduled.

Should a home be put on the market, all permits may need to be on file or in the homeowners' possession in or der for a cer-

tificate of occupancy to be issued to the new buyer. Failur e to have permits can hold up the process or result in fines.

Protection

Homeowners about to begin a project also need to emphasize safety. There are a number of things that can be on hand to make a work environment safer. These include: * Eye protection: This is especially important when working with flying debris, cutting items, mixing caustic chemicals, etc. * Respirator or face mask: Cover the nose or mouth when there is dust or debris in the air that can enter the lungs. When working with toxic fumes, such as when using spray paints or chemical lubricants, a r espirator can offer clean air. * Boots: Pr oper footwear ensur es pr otection should an item fall on the foot or when walking where nails or other sharp items are located. * Fir e extinguisher: A fir e extinguisher

should be nearby in the event of a mishap. * First aid kit: An abrasion or cut may occur, r equiring pr ompt care. * Gloves: When the hands need to be pr otected or extra traction on surfaces is r equired, gloves can be a necessity. * Headphones: Safety headphones can protect the ears against loud, consistent noises fr om power equipment and tools.

Before starting any project, be sure to consider the 3 Ps. * Locks: A locked cabinet can store tools, When homeowners take the time to plan, paints, chemicals, and other impr ovement obtain permits, and secur e the needed pr osupplies so that young childre n or pets won't tection for a job, they help ensure a safer job have access. that is done correctly.

Simple ways to reduce home heating costs The return of winter weather marks the er turn of many things, including winter coats, mornings spent shoveling snow and, for many homeowners, higher utility bills.

Home heating costs have a long history of being the enemy of homeowners who want to keep their homes warm in the winter .

Over the course of a typical winter , homeowners can expect to spend as much as $2,000 to keep their families warm, and unfortunately, there's no guarantee those costs won't increase this winter. Fortunately, there are several ways homeowners can easily reduce home heating costs no matter how harsh the weather becomes this winter. * Address those leaks befor e it's too late.

Fall is an ideal time to get ar ound to all those pesky home impr ovements you didn't have a chance to get to this summer . If not ad-

dressed, leaky windows and doorways ar e destined to produce high home heating bills.

Cold air that enters the home thr ough such leaks, cr eates drafts that is costly as the homeowner turns up the thermostat to get rid of the chill. Befor e winter arrives, seal any existing drafts ar ound windows and doors, using caulk or weather -proof tape.

More information about discovering and fixing air leaks is available at www .greenwoodusa.com/leak. * Replace old appliances. Older appliances might not work as ef ficiently as they once did, r equiring mor e ener gy and fuel to get the job done; causing a spike in utility costs along the way. However, today's Energy Star appliances are required to have a high performance with up to 15 percent greater energy efficiency than their predecessors, signif-

icantly reducing your home energy costs. * Consider r enewable ener gy heating appliances. Today's solar and biomass/wood heating appliances ar e a far cry fr om those available as r ecently as thr ee years ago.

These products may offer automated operation with wood pellets or other convenient features like self-cleaning. Products like the Greenwood Fr ontier Series W ood Gasification Boiler ar e specifically designed with families in mind to impr ove heat ef ficiency to save homeowners money.

Helping homeowners trim mor e than 70 percent fr om their home heating costs, the Greenwood F rontier S eries b oiler c onverts up to 89 per cent of the ener gy in wood fuel to warm, usable heat thr oughout the home.

In fact, the on-board computer continuously monitors boiler performance while employ-

ing a predictive control to ensure consistent and reliable boiler operation, helping homeowners rest easy that their boiler is working smarter to save them money all winter long.

"I could be completely off of gas or oil if I want to be" says homeowner Ken D. fr om Michigan. "I could be totally wood suf ficient. I decr eased my heating bill fr om $500/month to $30/month." * Take advantage of r ebates and tax cr edits. Keep your eyes open, as there are many state, federal and utility company programs and tax incentives which offer homeowners incentives to install a pr ogrammable thermostat, a renewable heating appliance or to upgrade an existing appliance.

Embracing Color on Your Home The growing trend of homeowners staying in their existing houses longer due to economic challenges has had a colorful effect on homes. People are taking the opportunity to personalize their homes mor e with colorful exterior accents and they'r e not stopping with just a splash of paint.

According to national color expert Kate Smith, homeowners ar e taking steps to express their personalities by adding color to everything f rom t heir r oofs t o t heir e ntry doors to their window frames.

"Today's homeowners are looking beyond variations of whites and beiges to set off the key accent points of their homes, such as louvers, trim and window frames," says Smith, president of Sensational Colors. "W ith the realization that they're going to be staying in their current houses longer comes the commitment by people to truly personalize their homes. This has r esulted in eye-catching

neighborhoods.

"As homeowners r eplace major components of their homes they place gr eater value on finding products with a long life span, lower maintenance and style. They are seeking out both a noticeable change and an improvement fr om existing pr oducts on the home. The ability to add a creative element, personal touch or signatur e color tends to 'bond' homeowners even mor e closely with their living spaces."

According to Smith, one of the hottest trends for exterior enhancements is to select vinyl windows with exterior color frames that complement the overall look of the home. She cites the Decor um by Simonton product line as one that of fers everything consumers are looking for -- color, energy efficiency, style and low maintenance.

"With their minds on sustainability and their eye on good design, many homeown-

ers ar e investing in color as a way to express themselves and reinvent their curr ent homes," says Smith. "Simonton offers exterior w indow f rame co lors of brick red, pine green, bronze, driftwood and chocolate that perfectly match up with the earthy colors homeowners gravitate to for their home exteriors. These same colors can be drawn out further on trim elements of the home along with being component colors of the roof and entry door."

Air-tight insulation delivers big returns (MS) -- Household energy-efficiency is now more important than ever when selling a home. Pur chasers are able to rate one residence against another, so if you want top dollar for your house some day , it's worth investing along these lines with upgrades and renovations.

"If adding rooms or finishing the basement, for example, take a look at the most energy efficient materials and methods," says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a company that has spearheaded an advanced version of the insulated concrete form (ICF), as well as do-it-yourself materials. "The newest renovation method, called Nudura Insulation Technology, is ideal to insulate foundation walls, inner and outer walls, plus flat, or cathedral ceilings.

The latest additions to the popular W ilsonart(R)HD(R) High Definition(R) design series reflect new interest in natural, classic and tumbled marble, limestone and travertine.

The good news is this fashionable look is available without the high cost of stone or the constant maintenance those stones require.

These lighter, less patterned laminate designs ar e perfect for today's hectic l ifestyle. In fact, the new cost-ef ficient countertop can be installed within a few hours and without disrupting family life. They also give an existing kitchen the promise of a whole new look that's universally appealing.

That equals a big change for small change.

All of these new designs are available in a new surface effect of a lower matte-gloss sheen that seems almost glazed.

The "Glaze" textur e is actually a layering of matte featur es over a glaze of semi-gloss. This cr eates a timeworn r esult that is less reflective and more restrained. It's a perfect balance for the sophisticated dramatic materials that are part of today's kitchen: stainless steel, chr ome, copper , and even glass.

Wilsonart patterns benefit fro m AEON Enhanced Performance technology. AEON brings four times the scuf f and scratch-resistance of conventional laminate, as well as five times the wear resistance to the surface. Unlike granite, the surfaces of these new laminates ar e non-por ous and never need to be sealed.

Here are some other remodeling ideas that will have high impact without high expense: * Replace your old r efrigerator with an ener gy-efficient model. Look in the big box stor es for floor models or even those with a little dent on the side, which will never be seen. * Refresh your cabinets with a coat of paint, and change all the cabinet har dware in the pr ocess. This makes everything look new. * Swap out your old ceiling light fixture and install under cabinet lighting as well. A little light can make a dramatic difference. * Change your sink or sinks. Consider a new Wilsonart(R)HD(R) sink when adding a laminate countertop. These sinks were designed to be mounted to a laminate surface.

Still puzzled by the pr ocess or need mor e help choosing the right color or pattern for your countertop? V isit www.WilsonartHD.com for many good answers.

Rueppel is Middlebury College’s new swim coach MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College has named Bob Rueppel the new head coach of the men’s and women’s swimming pr ograms as well as the director of the college’s natatorium. Rueppel comes to Middlebury from Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa., where he has served as the men’s and women’s coach since 2001.

The new coach succeeds Peter Solomon, who stepped down on June 30 after 14 years in this role.

“Bob brings a wealth of experience to this position,” said Middlebury College Director of Athletics Erin Quinn. “He understands the balance between athletics and academics at Middlebury, and I am confident that he can coach the members of the swimming and diving program to reach their full potential as student athletes.”

During his 10-year run at F&M, Rueppel’s teams won 10 confer ence titles (7 men, 3 women) and broke nearly 90 school records.

He coached three NCAA Champions, 37 AllAmericans as well as five Academic AllAmericans, while his teams earned Team Academic All-American honors for nine straight years. His athletes won Centennial Conference individual titles 139 times, setting 55 Conference marks.

Rueppel’s men’s team compiled a 44-10 mark in dual meets during his tenure, while the women wer e 53-10. He was named the Centennial Conference’s inaugural Coach of the Year in 2010.

“I am honored to have been given this incredible opportunity to become the next swim coach at Middlebury College,” said Rueppel. “I look forwar d to continuing the

great tradition of success the pr ogram has enjoyed for many years.”

Rueppel is a 1983 graduate of St. Bonaventure University, where he received a degree in business administration and management. He began his coaching car eer at his alma mater in 1983, taking over the r eins of the women’s program until 1989. He worked as an assistant at Wright State University in

Ohio fr om 1994-1995 befor e becoming the head men’s and women’s coach at W ittenberg University, also in Ohio, fr om 19952001.

At Wittenberg, wher e he coached 33 AllAmericans, his athletes br oke 58 school records, and the team earned Academic AllAmerican honors for six consecutive seasons.

Letters to the Editor Bristol Stampede

86082

To the editor: This year ’s Thr ee Day Stampede towar d the Cur e for Cystic Fibr osis was a record breaker in every single category of the event.

The proceeds from the Stampede, all of which go directly to the Cystic Fibr osis Foundation which is the most efficient charity in the use of money , surpassed $103,000 this year bringing us to a grand total of over $1.1 million since we began the fundraiser nearly 21 years ago.

The Stampede has become a tr ue community event with support fr om every segment of the Town of Bristol, County of Addison, State of V ermont, and even across the country. Businesses become sponsors of the event, which provides not only financial support but also credibility for the Stampede and inspiration to everyone who sees their name mentioned in all of our marketing efforts.

In addition to our sponsors, the Stampede is made possible by the generosity of folks donating items to our huge lawn sale. Most everyone who comes to our dr op

off location during June and July have a “Stampede Spot” in their garage or cellar where they store things that they want to donate to The Stampede. Thr ee tractor trailers and a warehouse full of things that earned us over $40,000 this year.

The silent auction also depends on the generous donations of all kinds, fr om a used car fr om G. Stone Motors to a septic pumping from Clark Septic to keep the auction gr owing, this year over $23,000. Friends of the Stampede lend us equipment, 4 wheelers, trailers, tents, tent s takes, barbec ue grill and even barbecue sauce from the Lincoln Fire Department. Of course, with all of that, without the dedicated as well as new to Stampede shoppers who buy and bid on everything that everyone donates the Stampede wouldn’t be possible.

In the history of the Stampede, the volunteers are legendary. We hear from everyone who attends our event, how wonderful it is to see how organized the event is, how motivated the volunteers are, their dedication to constantly tweak and improve the shopping experience for our customers, their

willingness to do everything from hammering in tent stakes, unloading trailers and the war ehouse, to cleaning the toilets, all the while with smiles on their faces.

We h ave v olunteers w ho have been with us since the beginning and we have new volunteers who have already signed up to work next year. We have many, many of our volunteers who take vacation to work for the full week that it takes from set up on Tuesday to returning equipment on Monday , each and every year . Our volunteers range in age fro m folks in their 70s and 80s to preschoolers. T hese p eople inspire and refresh everyone who comes in contact with them. As my granddaughter, Kayla, who was the inspiration for the Stampede, always says, “These people are my Stampede family and I love them all!”

Saying thank you to everyone who makes the Stampede possible always feels impossible to us, since the Stampede tr uly belongs to everyone, but know that the Stampede is only possible because of everyone who touches it and we ar e so proud and grateful to be part of it!

To the editor: We extend our sincer e gratitude to family, friends, community, and the Lions of Vermont District 45. While, Saturday, Aug. 13, marked a very sad day for our family, we drew great comfort from your presence at his funeral mass and through the countless calls, food, flowers, thoughts and prayers to help console our heavy hearts. Rick would have been especially thankful to all those who have helped his family during this time and for the contributions made to the V ermont Lions charities—Rick Dutil ‘W e Serve’ Scholarship Fund— that will be dedicated to students who shar e a common goal in serving their communities.

Brandon, Rutland need volunteers for flood cleanup

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com BRANDON — Friends, former residents, family members, and people all over the world with a little piece of Brandon in their heart, have been calling and e-mailing town officials and other residents to see how they can help. Now there’s a chance to help Brandon with its herculean flood cleanup.

A concert on the Brandon Green Sept. 2— sponsored by Jim Leary , Esq., and Nancy Leary Design—intr oduced the Brand-Aid Fund to local residents.

The Brandon Area Chamber of Commerce established the Brand-Aid Fund to help members of the local business community.

The intent of the fund, accor ding to the Learys, is to assist businesses trying to r eopen after the Irene flood.

“It might mean a r elocation for some or shoring up a building or gutting the inside,

even starting over. Some business or building owners have flood insurance although not many,” Jim Leary said. “Chamber of Commerce of ficials will cr eate parameters on the disbursement of the fund in the coming days. The important news is that everyone can help.”

Every penny donated will be disbursed to local people, according to Leary.

To donate online, see: http://brandon.org/about/brand-aidfund-donate-now/. Chamber of ficials hope to establish a fund contact at a local financial institution for people who would rather donate by check.

As Sept. 2 concert sponsors, the Learys own a building in the downtown Conant Block which was effected by the flood. They are uncertain when their building can be reopened. At the concert, a 50/50 raf fle and a pass-the-hat was held as a way to fundraise for the Brand-Aid Fund.

Special requests for volunteers and donations have been made across the region: •At the Neshobe Golf Club, the water that overflowed f rom the Neshobe River left a huge clean-up job. The club crew is working to tackle pr oblem ar eas but ar e looking for volunteers. The public is invited to dr op by the club with suitable work clothes; be pr epared to get wet. Call the club at 802-2473611.

•Buy Bricks for the Brandon Gr een Park Rebuilding: Contact Bette Moffett or Warren Kimble at 803-247-8880 or stop by 10 Park St. •Red Cr oss Blood Drive: Special Red Cross Blood Drive: Thursday, Sept. 8, noon5:30 p.m. at the Brandon Fire Station.

•Rutland Area Needs Help: Rutland volunteers have some needs to help er sidents in Mendon, Killington, and Rutland. The public Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/RestoringRutland.

•There ar e ongoing ef forts to pr ovide

food, water, ice, and other supplies to people trapped in Mendon and Killington. Additionally the local food banks are in desperate need, so if you can collect supplies, donate supplies, or help staf f 34 Str ongs Ave. (which has b ecome a command center for some of these ef forts) contact Katye Robar e Munger who will be coor dinating those efforts. Volunteers ar e needed as soon as today.

•Neighbors and friends will be out in the community working along side other agencies this weekend starting some of the physical r estoration. Mor e details will be given on this aspect as it develops. The hours for the drop off site are 9 a.m.-9 p.m.

•A clothes dr op of f is set up at Rutland County Women’s Network and Shelter at 101 Grove St. Donations may be dr opped of f Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. If you have a large amount, call 802-775-6788.

The Eagle - 23

Apple harvest from page 1 Across town, at Douglas Or chards, owners Scott and Bob Douglas—gr eat grandsons of the orchard’s 1898 founder Frank Douglas—wer e busy overseeing Jamaican workers sorting apples fr om stacks of wooden crates.

Four generations of Douglas’ have kept the picturesque orchard going even with over a century of market ups and downs a nd a smor gasbord of weather , good and foul—from late spring frosts to multiple hurricanes.

“We had hail in June, rain in August and of course some tr opical storm damage, but still, we have a harvest,” said Scott Douglas.

While not the orchard’s best harvest on record, the Douglas’ wer e never the less pleased despite Mother Natur e’s obstacles thrown in their way.

“In addition to the hail knocking out apples, the gr ound was wet and we lost some tr ees,” he said. “But we’r e busy now.”

In Rutland County , the harvest story was different.

At Mendon Mountain Or chards—established in the 1920s along U.S. Route 4 just east of Rutland—T ropical Storm

Irene was a sour ending to a bittersweet season.

“Well, we had light pollination in the spring due to rain,” said owner Millie Steingrass. “And of course we lost some apples when Ir ene blew thr ough—even lost part of our orchard road to the flood, but amazingly we didn’t lose any tr ees.

I’d have to say it’s a light harvest this year. But our shop is open with lots of goodies, and pick-your -own apple time is underway now.”

In W indsor County , W ellwood Orchards in Springfield—just like Steingrass’ Mendon Mountain Or chards— dates to the 1920s, the golden era of apple orchards in vermont.

Wellwood owner Roy Mark, who purchased the multi-acr e operation in 1981, said he was happy to have escaped the wrath of Irene.

“Irene wasn’t too bad here ,” Mark said.

“So we have a pretty good harvest. Like most Vermont or chards we didn’t have good pollination due to the spring rains, but it wasn’t serious.”

While there were other orchard owners with their own perspectives on the 201 1 harvest, the consensus seemed to be that—at least for apple growers from Addison to W indsor counties—most orchards dodged a major b ullet—a bullet named Irene.
