PLUNGING INTO FALL — Moss Glen Falls, Addison County’s tallest year-round waterfall, plunges a distance of 45 feet as chilly Deer Hollow Brook drops off the east side of the Green Mountain range along Route 100 in Granville. Tourists receive a misty, closeup view of the falls along a slippery boardwalk. A taller, albeit skinnier and temporary falls—called Little Moss Glen Falls—is visible just before the boardwalk starts during periods of heavy rain and snow melt.

‘Suzy Chapstick’, Bill Beck, other skiers to be honored

Vt. Ski Museum Hall of Fame MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Ski Museum announced the 2009 inductees into the Vermont Ski Museum Hall of Fame: Bill Beck, Erlon “Bucky” Broomhall, Suzy Chaffee, and Bobo Sheehan.

Bill Beck, of Middlebury was a member of the National Ski Team from 19511957. He had the best downhill finish by an American male with his fifth place in the downhill at the 1952 Olympic Games. His record stood for 32 years until Bill Johnson won the gold medal in 1984. Beck also finished 5th, in 1952, in the prestigious Alberg-Kandahar Downhill--again a best ever by an American skier. He was a member of the 1954 World Championship Team, the 1956 Olympic Team Captain, and coach of the 1960 Olympic team. He remained active in the ski industry after retiring as a coach, as an industry representative, and sport shop owner.

Erlon “Bucky” Broomhall, originally from Rumford, Maine, dedicated his career to giving opportunities to young skiers in Southern Vermont. Broomhall had a successful college career racing for the Western State College Cross Country Ski Team. He came to Bennington in 1966 “to head a total ski program for the kids of all ages from kindergarten through high school.” He coached cross country, jumping and downhill, winning 5 Vermont State High School championships and helping at least 25 skiers to the Junior Olympics. He was one of the first in the nation to coach a girl’s team and brought the first girl’s team to Junior Olympics in 1968.

In 1969, he left his coaching position to start the Torger Tokle League, now known as the Bill Koch League to develop skiers not yet in high school.

Suzy Chaffee, from Rutland, had a successful sport and television career. She was on the U.S. Women’s Ski Team competing in the downhill. Due to a miscalcu-

T.V. icon Suzy “Chapstick” Chaffee will be in Middlebury, Oct. 24. lation in wax, she did not fulfill her Olympic potential in the 1968 Games, but she received press for her silver racing suit. She used this press to launch many ventures including a modeling/endorsement/film career, a designer clothing line, and ski equipment made for women. She has been a strong advocate for women’s equality in sports.

She joined the freestyle ski team as professional in 1971 and competed with the men since there was no women’s division; she won titles in 1971-73. She was one of the first two women to serve on the USOC's Board of Directors; she assisted in the passage of the Amateur Sport Act of 1978; she served on president’s council on physical fitness under four administrations. Most recently she founded the Native Voices Foundation with the mission “to create joyful unity through sports and education to heal mother earth for

all our children.”

Robert “Bobo” Sheehan was a legendary coach from 1945-1968. He skied on the Newport Vermont High School team in 1939, 1940 before joining the Middlebury class of ’44. Sheehan coached the Middlebury women’s team in 1946 and led the Middlebury men in 1948 to their first of two consecutive national championship titles. In the same year Becky Fraser ’46, captain of the 1944 and 1945 women’s teams, became the first Middlebury skier to compete for the U.S. Olympic Team. He coached the 1956 US Olympic Team. He was president of the Eastern Collegiate Ski Association and member of the Olympic Ski Games Committee. In 1984, Middlebury College dedicates the Robert “Bobo” Sheehan chairlift in celebration of 50 years of skiing at the College. Sheehan died in 1999.

S

everal decades ago, I visited Montpelier to watch the legislative sausage-making process in action. As it turned out, the street theater out front of the capitol building that day was far more enlightening (and entertaining than the under-the-Golden-Dome committee room proceedings.

Perhaps some of the following details of my fuzzy recollection are not historically precise, but I present them only to provide background for and support of what I learned.

On State Street—more precisely, on the sidewalk fronting on the ag building—was a mini-convention of motorcycle aficionados, mightily upset over a recently proposed helmet requirement. There were speakers declaiming such subjects as the erosion of personal freedom and the virtues of choice (just as that noun was beginning to take on a whole ‘nother political meaning) and a few random comments on mandatory seat-belts, child-safety seats, and the leave-us-alone option more politically popular in a more politically conservative New Hampshire.

One of that group was Rod Clarke, the erstwhile Montpelier bureau chief for news service UPI. Rod, I speculated, was finding in midlife that outdoor biking is more fun, if less financially rewarding, than indoor news reporting; it was he, if memory serves me, who made the most useful comments of the event.

Rod spoke first to recognize the fact that a helmetless rider whose skull engages the pavement is likely to require a lot of expensive medical services (which he, personally, most likely won’t pay for) and that it was unreasonable for bikers, should the unthinkable happen, to ride helmetless and impose the costs—thus dumped on unwilling others.

Then Rod proposed a constructive contractual alternative: that any biker who values zero-helmet riding sign a waiver releasing the taxpaying public from paying for his future skull repairs. The helmetless rider would either pay for it himself (or herself) out of his/her own trust fund, by insurance—or eschewing such expensive measures—expect only sedatives, a warm bed, and a tight roof until he assumes room temperature as a result of his preventable, but non-prevented, injuries. As I recall, there were Easy Rider types in the small crowd waving copies of just such a proposed document.

Columnist Martin Harris is a retired Vermont architect now living in Tennessee. He believes it’s easier to understand Vermont politics when viewed from afar.

May the peace prize be with you

UPI isn’t what it was—that is, a pillar of American Fourth Estate professionalism—and is now much diminished; it’s a whollyowned subsidiary of a Korean religious organization, but it at least survives, barely. Sadly, Rod’s contract proposal didn’t survived, but it should have.

That’s because it offered a logical solution to the contemporary health insurance debate impasse: Critics on one side, arguing that Article VIII of the U.S. Constitution doesn’t exist (and government has no authority to pretend that it does) and defenders on the other side arguing that we’re all in this together and that everyone must contribute. No one on the choice side of the debate is offering to waive, as the Easy Rider bikers did, a possible future service demand; no one on the mandatory side is offering to make insurance purchase optional or even risk based (as it is with, say, cars, boats, houses and, I suspect, with motorcycles).

In the early 19th century, when fire protection wasn’t a government service but a private contract, insurance buyers displayed the medallion of their chosen emergency service-contractor at their front door. Homeowners were free to self-insure and take their chances.

Today, it’s a government service even if many of the best are volunteers. It’s fair to wonder whether, like so many other paid for by all government services, it might not be better executed in Rod Clarke fashion—that is, through individual choice and private contract.

I dare not speculate on the merits of the Mandatory Motorcycle Helmets Because We All benefit When All Bikers ride Cerebrally Protected Doctrine. Maybe I’ve seen “Easy Rider” too many times.

n previous columns, I've stressed the need to hold on to all of the coupon inserts we receive each week in the newspaper. The biggest mistake that "casual" coupon users make is to cut out the coupons for the items they think they'll buy and then toss the rest of the insert

By Jill Cataldo into the recycle bin. As you likely know by now, this is the biggest mistake that people make with coupons. In tossing the insert you throw away coupons for items that will be free later.

I know the skeptics in the crowd are thinking, "Free? Come on..." Yes! Absolutely free. Think about this. During the past few months, in my coupon inserts I've seen $1 coupons for toothpaste, $1 coupons for dish detergent and $1 coupons for frozen vegetables. If I didn't save my inserts each week, I might have thrown away those coupons - and guess what? All of those items have gone on sale for a dollar. When an item goes on sale for a dollar and I use a dollar coupon, the item is free.

If your grocery stores double coupons it's even easier to get things for free, provided again that you've saved all of your coupons. During double coupon days, your 50-cent coupons are worth $1 toward those dollar sales!

But one of the most important reasons to hold on to all of your coupon inserts is this: rarely do the coupons that we receive on Sunday line up with the best sales in the same week. Their real value comes as they get closer to their expiration dates.

Why is this the case? Stores know which coupons are coming out in the newspaper each week, long before we actually get them. This is not secret information. In fact, many coupon Web sites print preview lists of the coupons that are coming soon. Armed with this knowledge, stores typically leave the items that will be featured in the coupons at a higher price, because they know the habits of most people that use coupons. Casual coupon users flip through the paper and cut the coupons for the things they plan to buy that week. And many people think, "I'd better use this coupon this week before I forget." Does this sound like you? Then, you may be saving a little money, but you're not using your coupons in the most effective way.

Here's a great example. My grocery store recently had a full-page ad in the coupon inserts. The ad contained a $3 coupon for dog food. At the top of the page, the ad proudly proclaimed that the dog food was on sale for $8.99 at my store this week. It said "Use this $3 coupon, and you'll pay just $5.99 a bag."

Now, I know from experience that $8.99 is not a very good sale price for that dog food at all. While it may be "on sale," it's not the rock-bottom, lowest price that I've seen the dog food sell for in past sales. So instead of falling for this common advertising tactic, I held onto that $3 coupon and didn't use it the week that the store wanted me to.

Four weeks later, guess what? The dog food went on sale for $3.99 a bag!

That's when I went in with my $3 coupon. I got my dog food for just 99 cents. If I'd purchased it the week I received the coupon, even with the coupon savings I would have paid $5.99 a bag. By waiting a few weeks, I saved $5.

When you start to think about shopping this way for almost everything we buy the savings start to really add up! And that's why we save all of our coupon inserts. So build a library of your coupon inserts. Keeping them all allows us to have many coupons on hand when those good sales come around.

M

r. Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize, for which among many other things, he’ll earn $1,400,000—all of which he’s donating to charity. Poor cuss. That’s a catch 22 if there ever was one. Not just that he can’t keep the money cause he’d look bad, but also because he’s getting nay-sayed in earnest over receiving the award.

Naysayers say he really hasn’t hooked anyone up in good shape in the short amount of time he’s been president, and therefore doesn’t deserve the award. He might deserve it down the road they say, just not yet.

I say naysayers, so what, call it a, Pre-prize?

But is Obama himself a naysayer? “To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honored by this prize,” is how he spoke the morning he was awarded. (If I was an advisor to the president, not to imply he’s not honest, but because it’s a pet peeve of mine, I’d suggest he not use the phrase: “To be honest” but who am I?) Maybe Mr. Obama is feeling like Roger Federer would if the U.S. Open officials met him at the front gate and awarded him the winner ’s prize before he even won a point?

I wish Mr. Obama had declined the prize.

I think he’s a good guy and smart and very well capable of deserving the prize in the future, but I think he feels he doesn’t deserve it, and I think the award puts more pressure on him, something he needs about a much as he needs the H1N1. I also wish he declined because I read he’s flying to Stockholm to except it, and do you know what is costs we citizens to send his flying circus on a trip like that? I’d guess about half Vermont’s present deficit. Skip the award ceremony Mr. President, and send the travel savings to good ole Vermont. Yeah Vermont. You hook us up Prez, and we’ll send you off some syrup, and a Vermont Teddy Bear and stuff.

Don’t go by me though, I don’t understand awards. Like the Academy awards, the Oscars?

What jokes they are. That entire Oscar mess was built to promote the industry, which it does handsomely. But how can the Academy, with a straight face and clear conscious, award one actor and actress over all others as having performed better in a particular role? It’s gol darned outlandish.

Awards crack me up. Course, I win an Oscar, I’d there with bells on. But I’d still not think I’m any better at acting then the local postal clerk playing the lead in his community theatre’s annual fall production of “The Sound of Music.”

Let’s be careful though to remember that there are trivial awards, that are bestowed, and there are legitimate awards, that are earned.

Purple Heart? You get yourself awarded one of those, you earned it. You win a medal in the Olympics, way to go, you’re deserving, unless there was a screw up in the timing, or some hanky-panky with judging (I’m sure politics plays a part there too unfortunately). But to award a politician for some sort of work they’ve done,

which by the way is the work they promised us during their campaign that they felt fortunate and blessed and honored to be able to do, is simply unnecessary.

I feel about awards the same way I feel about calling oneself an artist: If you call yourself an artist because you write poetry, or fiction, or you act, or sculpt, or paint, or play an instrument, I’m sure you’re welcome, but you best also call your plumber an artist for the fine touch he or she applied while sweating together your hot-water boiler ’s copper pipe joints.

What about the person who mows your lawn and leaves behind mow patterns so wavy and uniform that you spend evening after evening after dinner staring at them? Isn’t he or she an artist too? I’d say. We’re all artists to a point. The developmentally disabled dude needing full-time care who combs his hair into a pompadour, the likes of which Elvis would be proud of, is quite a fine artist too, wouldn’t you say? Well then, give him the Pompadour Award for gosh sakes.

While presenting my show in high school auditoriums, I get to work with school custodians.

The gang at TMZ has nothing on school custodians when it comes to keeping their ears to the ground. School custodians can tell what’s happening, what’s happened, what’s going to happen, and when it’s going to happen, without lifting his or her head from concentrating on the S pattern they’re making with wet end of a mop.

I asked a custodian (I call custodians, janitors. I also call Indians, Indians. But, I also wander.) in Rutland, Vermont, how many years he’d worked as a janitor.

“Thirty-seven,” he said.

“Really, 37? That’s something. At this same school?” “Yup,” he replied.

“So, you’ve worked in this building for 37 years, mopping the same floors, cleaning the same banisters, lockers, bathrooms, and windows, and putting up the same chairs on the same desks so you can mop underneath the desks, what, five nights a week, for 37 years?”

“Yup,” he said.

I asked him, “How can you clean the same stuff over and over and over for so many years without freaking out?” He looked at me and grinned, “Well … it’s different dirt.”

Somebody give that guy an award!

All-you-can-eat Creek Road car wash to reopen in Vergennes From New Market Press Staff Reports

VERGENNES—Vergennes Dorchester Lodge F&AM is holding its last Sunday of the month breakfast Oct. 25 at the lodge on School Street in Vergennes, 7:30-10 a.m. Lodge members will be serving all you can eat: pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage, home fries, scrambled eggs, juice and coffee.

WCAX’s Parsons to sign off as anchor BURLINGTON — Longtime news director Marselis “Div” Parsons will step away from the anchor desk for the final time Oct. 15.

After 43 years of telling stories and reporting the news, Parsons will retire, ending four decades at WCAX-TV. WCAX which is family-owned and operated, is credited with coining the phrase "Vermont's own," and is widely known as Vermont's broadcast news leader.

“It’s been an honor to be allowed into so many homes every evening,” said Parsons, who is concluding 25 years as the 6 pm anchor. As part of his job as news anchor, Parsons’ outreach to the public and the Vermont’s leaders has been continuous and extensive.

Parsons will still be part of the news team, occasionally contributing stories as a field reporter. Veteran reporter Darren Perron will take over Parsons’ duties in the anchor chair.

Perron will co-anchor the 6, 10 and 11 p.m. news.

With the veteran’s departure, some older viewers of WCAX—who grew up with Parsons at the news helm—may drift away to competitor news channels.

Editor wins aerospace education award Varricchio is “Seeing Stars” columnist

By Beth Schaeffer RUTLAND — Middlebury resident, newspaper editor and science writer Louis Varricchio, received the Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager Aerospace Education Achievement Award.

The award is given by the Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, for the national organization’s aerospace education program.

The achievement award is named in honor of test pilot Maj. Gen. Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager (USAF, retired), the first human to break the sound barrier in the X-1 experimental rocketplane in 1947. The award was signed by Maj. Gen. Amy S. Courter, CAP national commander.

Varricchio is a senior member with the rank of second lieutenant in CAP’s Rutland Composite Squadron based at the Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport.

A former NASA contract science writer, Varricchio writes the weekly “Seeing Stars” column appearing in New Market Press community newspapers. He is also managing editor of the publications.

In addition to work with the Civil Air Patrol, Varricchio is a member of NASA’s JPL Solar System Ambassadors program.

MIDDLEBURY — The owner of Village Carwash in Rutland has purchased the former Laser Wash carwash on Creek Road in Middlebury.

A spokesman for the owner was on site last week to inspect the facility; he said the car wash would open, with some changes, in a few weeks.

Currently, only one automatic, drive-through carwash—located on Exchange Street—is open in Middlebury. A popular, hand-operated car wash facility at Speedi-Lube on Route 7 is also currently in operation.

Laser Wash closed in the summer of 2008.

Laser Car Wash on Creek Road in Middlebury has a new owner.

Club honors Vergennes’ veteran fire chief Lions fete five exceptional residents The Vergennes Lions Club honored five community leaders at a recent presentation ceremony at the American Legion Post.

Lion Larry Simino read a brief biography of each honoree and presented them with a Melvin Jones Fellowship plaque from Lions Club International. Melvin Jones Awards can be presented to Lions members and other outstanding community members for their dedication to community service.

The Vergennes Lions contributed $1,000 in the name of each honoree to the Lions Club International Foundation. Their names rotate in a continuous light display at the Lions Club International headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill. The LCIF contributes millions of dollars each year to disaster relief and other needs around the world.

Presentations were also made to two non-Lion community leaders: Henry Broughton who has served the area greatly over many years in many capacities. He is a leader of the community, the American Legion post and St. Peter's Catholic Church.

Future of Crown Point Bridge still unclear ADDISON — Repairs to the longneglected Crown Point Bridge across Lake Champlain will be completed in a few weeks, according to New York State Department of Transportation officials. The officials faced a crowd of 198 residents of Vermont and New York gathered in Addison, Oct. 8.

The bridge’s future is uncertain as current work being done on the structure is, at best, a short-term fix. When the work is completed both lanes will be reopened.

"We have to make sure that the repairs are sufficient to carry the loads," according to James Boni, the New York-

based project manager.

Boni confirmed that the bridge, built in the 1920s, has significant structural damage; beyond the temporary repairs, it will have to be rebuilt or completely replaced. New York DOT says options include replacing the bridge with a toll ferry or relocating the bridge near the Town of Ticonderoga.

A New York DOT survey conducted during August and September revealed that nearly 50 percent of bridge users live on one side of the structure and commute to work on the other.

Marie Marton, a long-time resident of Ticonderoga, said she uses the

bridge every day to commute to work in Middlebury.

“This whole mess has my blood boiling,” said Marton. “Replacing the bridge with either a toll ferry or a toll bridge will be a real killer for me and a lot of folks like me. I don’t make a lot of money. It’s just too bad the responsible parties neglected this bridge for so long; now it’s a total mess. Shame on the elected officials of both states for being so irresponsible. As usual, the taxpayers are going to have to suffer.”

“It will take at least four years to determine which replacement route is the way to go,” Boni said.

Put the accent on Julie Payette C

anadians, in particular French Canadians, are proud of their intrepid celebrity astronaut, Ms. Julie Payette—the first Canadian to step aboard the International Space Station. This native Montréaler was born Oct. 20, 1963, and from an early age she knew she wanted to fly in space after first watching T.V. coverage of American astronauts in Skylab in 1973.

Payette has the logical, precise mind of an engineer, but she’s also an accomplished artist of some merit. She enjoys music and has been seen on-stage singing and playing piano with the award-winning Montreal Symphony Orchestra. Her love of music is also rubbing off on her young children.

Payette is a typical Quebecer; she enjoys the four-seasons and outdoor activities, too, especially boating. One place the multi-lingual astronaut likes to cruise is down Lake Champlain, usually departing from a marina near Phillipsburg on the border. She especially likes Vermont’s landscape and has made frequent trips to the Green Mountain State over the years. In fact, just last month, the astronaut was in downtown Burlington with her husband to do some bargain shopping—she wanted to let off a little steam after her successful, but gruelling, trip to the space station in July.

To better qualify herself as an astronaut candidate, Payette decided to study hard in school; she is an ideal role model for young women interested in careers in engineering or science, evidence that women can go very far in today’s aerospace world.

Payette studied multiple languages and specialized in both electrical and computer engineering while a student in college. She also earned herself a commercial pilot’s license and learned to be a certified deep-sea diver while

keeping her eyes firmly fixed on the stars.

Payette studied electrical engineering at McGill University and computer engineering at the University of Toronto during the 1980s— where both undergraduate and graduate degrees were earned with high honors; this fact got her the attention she needed in 1992. Her lifelong dream was about to come true when she applied to be part of the first class of Canadian astronauts.

According to a NASA biogJulie Payette raphy of Payette, before she embarked on the final frontier, the young woman conducted research in natural language processing and automatic speech recognition systems. She worked as a systems engineer with IBM Canada, as a researcher at the University of Toronto, as a scientist at the IBM Research Laboratory, in Zurich, and as a researcher with BNR-Nortel in Montréal.

Canadian Space Agency (CSA) officials liked Payette’s impressive resume and her interest in aviation; she was eventually selected from over 5,000 astronaut applicants to become one of only four Canadian astronauts—a very high honor, indeed. And by the year 2000, she was appointed “chief astronaut” for the fledgling CSA Canadian Astronaut Corps, a position she held until 2007.

Payette first reported to NASA in August 1996. She received basic astronaut training in Houston, as well as

training in space shuttle ground operations. After three long years of this intensive work, she finally got her shot in 1999 aboard space-shuttle mission STS96. It was Payette's first trip to the partially completed International Space Station.

In July 2009, she moved back up the flight roster again and was selected for a second spaceflight—her second visit to the ISS aboard mission STS-127. With only two orbital flights under her belt, Payette managed to log 611 hours in space. She is now one of the most experienced female astronauts in history.

When not preparing for a space mission, Payette remains an active member of NASA’s ground team in Houston. If you happen to tune in to space-shuttle launches on the NASA Channel on T.V., you may hear Payette as the French-accented CAPCOM (Capsule/Spacecraft Communicator) at NASA’s Mission Control Center.

With stars in her eyes, Julie Payette has travelled higher and faster than most women—and men—on Earth.

n Oct. 9, I was in my usual seat on the aisle to hear a Lane Series program entitled, "An Italian Sojourn", which featured the Trio Settecento, comprised of Rachel Barton Pine, baroque violin, John Mark Rozendaal, baroque cello, and David Schrader, harpsichord.

One of the strengths of the Lane Series is that it is a loving home for baroque music especially, and this concert made the case for the Lane Series penchant for presenting the best baroque music in the world and the best baroque musicians.

Pine is an incredible violinist technically, which she proved unequivocally when she played the Sonata in D. minor by Pietro Locatelli, especially the unnoted fifth "movement", which was a long and frequently musically irrelevant cadenza that ended up on a ground bass that finally came to a final cadence. Even her peers applauded her performance. Her playing in all of the selections chosen was so sensitive musically and so incredibly gifted in terms of technique, that it is no wonder that her peers folder in such high regard.

Rozendaal is a consummate artist both as regards technique and musical awareness. The same is true of Schrader, who makes the harpsichord into a major instrument by his playing and his filling in of the figured bass as creatively as possible. His new harpsichord was made by Robert Hicks, of Lincoln and based on an harpsichord by Carlo Grimaldi, circa 1703. While I am speaking about instruments, let me add that Rozendaal's cello is an original—backfitted to remove the peg. And Pine’s violin is an original, virginal baroque violin (never tampered with when violins became fitted in the 18th-19th centuries to

Bridport School needs your help To the editor: Bridport Central School in desperate need of a playground funding. Bridport Central School needs a school playground. This playground here at the school is used by children ages pre-k through sixth grade. Our original playground was built in 1987. Our playground has recently been reduced to a very limited number of items when our wooden playscape and swing set were declared un-safe and had to be torn down. This playground space not only provides activities for students when they are at school, but also for the community as a whole.

Ultimately, the long term goal of this project would be to raise approximately $75,000. So far we have raised $9,777.90 through fundraising and donations and we have $10,000 in our school budget. This money will be used to purchase a new swing set and a tire swing, which is phase one of our project. Phase two would be to purchase a larg-

play the classical and later literature.)

The literature that they played during this concert was for the most part of the 17th century, with pivotal works such as the Corelli Sonata in D. Maj., Opus 5, No. 1, which was not only well thought of musically, but whose. music became the ideal format for future composers.

There were surprises hidden in the selections, but they were all pleasant ones, something to mull over either in one's head after the concert, or, thanks to the CDs that were on sale, music one take home and enjoy over and over again (the which I intend to do).

If you are an aficionado of baroque music (and if you missed this AAA+ concert) there’s one Oct. 23 with Andreas Staier, fortepiano; he will be accompanied by the builder of his instrument Rod Regier. Rod will give the preconcert talk at 6:30. The following Friday will be instrumental music of the 16th and 17th centuries by Masques, a Montréal-based group (audience members are invited to wear costumes to this particular concert). On Dec. 4, Liber unUsualis will present Christmas music old and new. For details, call 656-4455.

I recently joined with several hundred other opera aficionados gathered at Cinema 9 on Shelburne Road to see the much-discussed new production of Tosca by Luc Bondy at the Metropolitan Opera.

The discussions did not revolve around the singers, all of whom were absolutely splendid, down to the lowest of the mercenaries.

Criticism seems to lie in the setting and the staging. I for one, who have seen in the Opera House Dorothy Kirsten and Renata Tebaldi, and in film part of Maria Callas's interpretation of the role—all of them in a traditional, literal setting —felt that everything that I saw on screen made sense -- dramatic sense, musical sense, and I did not miss

those things that were missing (such as the placing of a crucifix and lit candles around the body of Scarpia, or the actual fall of the heroine from the place high on the Castel Sant' Angelo to her death).

I must say that I experienced a small frisson where my Anglo-Saxon ancestry expressed my questioning Scarpia's kissing the statue of the Madonna that is being carried in a religious procession while the Te Deum is sung. All I know, however, and allowing some latitude for the French way of doing things. I found this a gutsy, monolithic and brilliant conception of the opera. I hope that Mr. Bondy fights for the strength of his production. In an interview given during one of the act breaks. He confessed, every so sweetly, that he had never seen the production that held the stage at the Metropolitan for 25 years; now if you buy that, I have a piece of real estate that connects Manhattan and Brooklyn that you might be interested in purchasing.

I caught the last performance of the UVM Department of Theatre's production of George Bernard Shaw's “Arms and the Man”. If you missed it, you missed a quite elegant and satisfactory reading of the play directed by Peter Jack Tkatch, and featuring in particular Matthew Trollinger, Joshua Clark, Edward C. Nagel, and any Stauffer.

er multi-play section and phase three will include a shaded area and preschool structure. Since the school year has begun we have stepped up our efforts to begin fundraising again, but would like to let you know that the success of this activity can only be achieved with your support.

Your donation will make such a huge difference in the lives of the children in Bridport. If your association makes a donation of $500 or more, your name will be placed on a plaque that will be mounted on a piece of the playground equipment.

Our thanks go out to the following organizations whom have already donated, Hannaford Food, Rainbow Pediatrics, County Tire Center, First National Bank of Orwell, Baked Beads, American Legion of Vergennes, Mike’s Fuels, Omya, and the Ronald McDonald House Charities, Neat Repeats and the Vergennes Eagles Club.

I would also like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

you live without?

That go me thinking. Exactly what state services could I really live without?

Before anyone can answer that question you must first ask: What state services do I use? So, I tracked my daily routine to list those state services that I or any working class person would use.

Here's my list: 1. State troopers. They are there in an emergency; we can't do without those great people.

2. VTrans. These men and women keep our roads passable, rain or snow.

That's it.

Pretty short list isn't it? You get up, dressed, eat, drive to work, come home, eat. sleep, etc. There is virtually no interaction with any state agency or service other than hose two I listed.

So here's the bottom line: To answer that protesters question, I can easily live without most/all other Vermont state services, other than the two I mentioned.

Therefore, as far as this working class person is concerned, and probably most others, the State of Vermont could lay off half of all state workers and none of us would even notice. Which proves...most of the state services are for those people who don’t work. Please, don't try to tell us that collecting taxes and motor vehicles fees is a service.

Denton From page 1 believe in the community newspaper concept,” Alexander said. “At the same time, we recognize people do travel, and both advertisers and readers will no doubt have an interest in the areas covered by these papers.”

For example, Alexander said a local event like Race the Train which took place in North Creek in September can now receive publicity in a much greater portion of New York and Vermont, through the new partnership.

“Our network is far reaching,” Alexander said. “I’ve been told that our publicity of these events definitely draws participants, which in turn brings money to our communities. This new relationship can only help with that.”

The same opportunities exist for advertisers, Alexander said. Advertisers will soon have the ability to reach 250,000 homes throughout Vermont, northern and central New York, as well as the Capital District with just one buy — or they can target a single region.

“The benefit over the metro dailies is we can zone for a specific region, or offer the entire area,” he said. “We see this as an opportunity for choice.”

Both Eagle Newspapers and Spotlight Newspapers are strong organizations which have for years produced upscale community newspapers with numerous awards to their credit.

Eagle publisher David B. Tyler Jr. and Spotlight publisher John A. McIntyre Jr. will remain at the helm of their respective groups and will be principals of Community Media Group LLC along with Alexander.

Alexander has a similar principal ownership in New Market Press Inc. and publisher Ed Coats, who publishes The Eagle, Rutland Tribune and The Messenger in Vermont.

In New York, Denton publishes the Adirondack Journal, Times of Ti, News Enterprise, Valley News, Tri-Lakes Free Trader Today, Clinton County Free Trader Today and North Countryman.

Eagle Newspapers has eight weekly publications in the Syracuse market. They are the Baldswinsville Messenger, Cazenovia Republican, Eagle Bulletin, Eagle Observer, Madison Eagle Skaneateles Press, Syracuse City Eagle and Star-Review.

Spotlight Newspapers has seven publications in the Albany market including The Spotlight, Colonie Spotlight, Loudonville Spotlight, Niskayuna Spotlight, Rotterdam Spotlight, Scotia-Glenville Spotlight and The Spotlight —

Saratoga County. Monthly publications include Capital District Parent Pages and Capital District Senior Spotlight.

The publishers said the purchase is a winwin for all involved.

“These newspapers have a strong foundation in the communities they serve, and we believe this new ownership arrangement will allow us to enhance the quality of the editorial product and create efficiencies that weren’t available to us previously,” Tyler said. “Dan Alexander has a long history of running community newspaper companies and his expertise as well as the technological and printing resources Denton Publications bring to the table makes this a win-win.”

Community Media Group LLC will continue to use the trade names Eagle Newspapers and Spotlight Newspapers and readers can expect the same commitment to community journalism they have become accustomed to over the years, McIntyre said.

“This should be a pretty seamless transition for our readers, advertisers and employees,” McIntyre said. “We have a number of excellent journalists in our fold, and this transaction should allow for continued improvement of our community-based newspapers.”

Denton Publications plant manager Tom Henecker said relationships like the one created between Eagle, Spotlight, New Market and Denton make sense given the current economic climate.

“It’s a great thing that during these tough economic times we’re able to expand. It’s a testament to the forward-thinking owners and managers,” Henecker said. “There are a lot of years of newspaper experience that have just joined forces. It’s the proverbial win-win situation; as our company grows and gets stronger, so will our products, which will bring greater benefits to our readers and advertisers.”

Michelle Rea, executive director of the New York Press Association, was integral in helping make the purchase come to fruition, saying her primary goal is creating partnerships to ensure the long-term viability of community newspapers.

Rea said she was approached by Tyler and McIntyre at the association’s spring meeting and informed of their intent to seek a buyer.

Rea said Alexander ’s name immediately came to mind.

“I don’t think anyone has more of a vested interest in maintaining the viability of community newspapers than NYPA,” Rea said.

“Given the current economy, working relationships like this not only make sense, they are a necessity.”

During the special night for recognition, Hall also awarded retiring firefighter Les

Hall also mentioned the previous acknowledgments of several current firefighters including Roger Young, Sandy Korda, and Second Assistant Chief Jim Booska.

Farm Aid could help embattled Vermont farmers State hemorrhaging family farms

By Lou Varricchio BURLINGTON—Country music star Willie Nelson is known everywhere. Thanks to his efforts with the annual concert called Farm Aid, which kicked off in 1985, the event has helped thousands of farmers across the USA. Now Farm Aid may be coming to Vermont to the aid of the state’s embattled family dairy farms.

Owners of web-based WBKM in Burlington, Vt., are leading the effort to bring Farm Aid to the Green Mountain State.

The group formed Farm Aid Vermont which is comprised of several northern Vermont businesses and several individuals who would like to see the high-profile benefit concert held here.

A fundraising event was held Sept. 29 to support the Farm Aid Vermont effort. A company donated money to each pizza sold for the event.

WBKM’s Tony Gallucci said Farm Aid is needed in Vermont. He noted that 78 family farms have closed forever in Vermont since January of this year. One of Vermont’s oldest farms, the Adams Family Farm in Wilmington, will close Oct. 31. The state’s oldest farm, the Hurlburt Farm in New Haven-Monkton, was founded in 1801; it will likely close soon due to oppressive property taxes.

Gallucci said he would like to see the Farm Aid concert in Vermont next year but recognizes that it might not happen.

Despite the odds, he said he will continue to lobby Farm Aid officials to bring the event to the Green Mountains State— either sometime in 2010 or later.

DEAD CREEK BRIDGE IS ALIVE, AGAIN—The reconstruction of the Route 17 Dead Creek Bridge in Addison was behind a long detour for many local residents. This week, the bridge is closer to reopening as Vermont Department of Transportation officials performed a normal inspection of the concrete. Contractor F.R. Lafayette of Essex Junction was involved in the project.

Middlebury jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter when Quarterback Brendan Burrell connected with Devon Bradford for a 23-yard touchdown pass. The visiting Vikings tied it in the second quarter when Kyle Greenwood ran for a 14-yard score, but it didn’t remain tied long. Marshal Hastings took the ensuing kickoff 40 yards, which set up a 45-yard touchdown run from Burrell.

But a third quarter interception led to a game tying touchdown for Lyndon, setting the stage for Ashley-Selleck’s game winning TD run.

Ashley-Selleck led a deadly Tiger rushing attack that amassed 200 yards with a 54-yard game. Jake Hill had 19 carriers for 132 yards for Lyndon, who fell to 1-5 with the defeat.

The Tigers improved to 4-2 with the win.

In more high school football action last Saturday in Hinesburg the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks suffered their first defeat of the year. The visiting Milton Yellow Jackets tough defense held the potent CVU offense to a mere 73 total yards and 0 points in a 14 -0 Milton win.

Milton took a 6-0 lead when they drove 36yards on four plays with Jamie Holbrook Finishing the scoring drive with a fouryard touchdown run. They increased their lead to 12-0 in the third quarter when an interception by Linebacker Garrett Bake set up a 30-yard scoring drive that quarterback Tanner Palermo capped off with a five-yard touchdown run. Milton finished off their scoring with a fourth quarter safety.

Milton’s David Mongeon led the all rushers with 21 carries for 79 yards. J.P. Benoit had 33 yards in nine rushes for the 5-1 Redhawks. The Yellow Jackets improved to 4-2 with the huge win.

Downtown Middlebury plans big Halloween fest Event, sidewalk parade for all ages MIDDLEBURY—Hay bales, carved and painted pumpkins and costumes will decorate Middlebury’s downtown green Sunday, Oct. 25 for the second annual Spooktacular. Festivities will kick off at 2 p.m. and include a children’s trick or treat parade along Main Street, carved and painted pumpkins, costumes, family-fun games, entertainment, a monster mash dance party and prizes.

Last year, over 400 children and parents attended the festivities. Judi Danforth, co-owner of Danforth Pewter said, “What a great community day...

Even though it was a rainy, first-year event, the turnout was amazing and the costumes were wonderful. It was fun to see entire families, and people from all over Addison County enjoying all the festivities! I particularly loved seeing the College student volunteers helping out. It was a day for the whole community.”

The children’s Main Street trick or treat sidewalk parade will leave the green at 2:30 p.m. Accompanied by parents and the Middlebury Police Explorers, the procession will cross to the Post Office, continue along Main Street to Cannon Park, cross to the library, and return to the green, stopping at each shop along the route. Main Street merchants will have plenty of treats on hand and may even greet the pageant at their doors in costume. Businesses not located on the parade route will be handing out goodies in Cannon Park.

SPOOKTACULAR!—Rutland residents are serious about Halloween. Residents of this house on Crescent Street did some serious decorating this week in anticipation of the annual citywide spooktacular. Rutland’s annual downtown Halloween parade has been popularized as the setting of several superhero comic book storylines in recent years.

Campus fire causes evacuation of three dorms MIDDLEBURY — A small dining hall kitchen fire created quite a stir on the Middlebury College campus early on the morning of Oct. 11. Student residents of three dormitories were evacuated as a result of the campus alarm.

According to a college news report, two employees were in the kitchen cleaning around 5 a.m. They spotted the fire which apparently resulted from of a propane leak. Ironically, the fire occurred as some students were involved with National Fire Prevention Week events on campus.

A college spokeswoman said an employee extinguished the fire as the other telephoned for help. Local firefighters arrived on the scene and reported that no one was injured.

Students return to their dorm rooms around 6:50 a.m.

‘Big Oil’? Now meet ‘Big Food’ MIDDLEBURY — The Marquis Theatre, the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN, no affiliation with the national ACORN organization now under investigation) and the Farmers Diner will present a documentary film about the state of the nation’s current food system to audiences in Addison County.

“Food Inc.” will be shown in the new screening room (45 seats) at the Marquis Theatre from Oct. 9–22 with showtimes Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:30 and 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday matinees at 3: p.m. and Sunday through Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for the Dinner and Movie special are available for sale at the restaurant which is located in the Marble Works.

Industry group discusses state’s energy policy AIV annual meeting Associated Industries of Vermont convened its 89th annual meeting Oct. 6 at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Montpelier.

Vermont is currently seeing a convergence of several very significant energy policies that pose imminent challenges for the state and carry serious implications for Vermont's ratepayers.

The legislature, public service board, public service department, and utilities will make critical decisions in the coming months. In addition to looming questions regarding the fate of Vermont Yankee, decisions on future contracts with Hydro Quebec are also coming due placing two-thirds of Vermont's energy supply in question in the near future.

At the same time, the debate continues between market forces versus state mandates regarding renewable energy development. On top of this, regional, national, and international plans are being developed for transmission strategies and projects that will not only impact the sources and generation types in Vermont's own portfolio, but that of the region—all with cost and construction implications not entirely under Vermont's control.

AIV's annual meeting provided presentations from key players in these unfolding events, a panel discussion with some of Vermont's top decision makers and stakeholders, and a luncheon address by Gov. Jim Douglas.

Founded in 1920, AIV is Vermont's oldest manufacturing and business lobbying group.

By Lou Varricchio WILMINGTON—A landmark Vermont family farm— known as the Adams Family Farm—is closing on Halloween, Oct. 31, after 144 years in business. The historic farm opened a week before the end of the Civil War, and just a few weeks prior to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

Located in Wilmington, Vt., the farm’s current owners reported that they can no longer maintain the farm as a profitable agri business. The farm relied on tourists since the 1990s.

Jill Adams-Mancivalano and her husband currently operate the farm which was first opened to tourists in 1993.

Because of the historic nature of the farm, the Adams Family Farm attracted more than 20,000 tourists a year.

Vermont’s oldest existing dairy farm, the Hurlburt Farm located in New Haven, was opened in 1801. It is threatened by foreclosure due to excessive back taxes.

Adams-Mancivalano said 2009’s wet and cool summer season, plus the depressed national economy, was the final nail in the 19th-century Adams Family Farm’s coffin.

The Adams Family Farm operated as a large dairy farm from 1865 until the 1980s, when the family opted to participate in a buyout program.

Adams-Mancivalano is a respected leader in Vermont's agricultural business. Despite the news of her family’s farm closing, she will remain an active promoter of agritourism in the state.

Young readers welcome MIDDLEBURY — As everyone knows, Halloween will soon be here. This month the Ilsley Public Library in downtown Middlebury have two, drop-in programs to get kids geared up for the day.

During the weeks these are scheduled, children are welcome to come to the youth services department any time to do the activities. Stop by Oct. 19—24 for Pasta Skeletons and build a skeleton out different types of pasta. This makes a great Halloween decoration and reminder of the names of some of our bones.

Come by Oct. 22—31 for Skull Beads. Library staffers will have hundreds of skull beads for crafting arm bands, bracelets, chokers, necklaces and chains. Create something spooky to wear this Halloween.

On Thursday, Oct. 22, at 10:30 a.m. staffers will host a Teddy Bear Tea Party. Bring your favorite teddy bear and join us for tea and treats, stories and songs, and a special craft project.

Gov. Jim Douglas congratulated AirBoss, a manufacturer of rubber protective gear, after they were authorized for over $243,000 in Vermont Employment Growth Incentives (VEGI). The news was announced Sept. 25. AirBoss plans to locate a manufacturing facility in Milton and create over 30 jobs over the next two years.

In April, Douglas and a team of local, state and federal economic development officials met with AirBoss executives to outline a package of supports and incentives. In May, the company received Initial Approval of VEGI incentives. The state also committed employee training funds through the Vermont Training Program and help from the Procurement Technical Assistance Center. And at its recent meeting, the Vermont Economic Progress Council gave final approval to a VEGI application from AirBoss Defense for incentives totaling up to $243,279.

AirBoss-Defense is a world leader in the design, manufacture and sale of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) protective wear, including gloves, footwear and respiratory protection (gas masks). The company had considered several locations for their capacity expansion, including a facility in North Carolina.

AirBoss made the decision to locate in Vermont and will open a 20,000 square foot facility, reutilizing a building in the Catamount Industrial Park. The company will invest close to $2 million in equipment and renovations and expects to start preliminary packing and shipping from the facility late this year. By early 2010, AirBoss intends to have four injection presses manufacturing CBRN gloves, creating between 20-30 jobs by 2011.

Under reforms proposed by Douglas in 2006 and passed by the General Assembly, the VEGI economic incentives are authorized based on potential job creation and capital investments that must occur before the company earns the incentives and then the company receives incentive installments over a period of years.

Companies are eligible to earn the job creation incentives only if they meet and maintain payroll, employment and capital investment targets each year.
