Brady named to VAB Hall of Fame Mark Brady of Middlebury, general manager of New Market Press newspapers, publisher of the Addison Eagle and the Green Mountain Outlook, has been selected for induction into the Vermont Association of Broadcasters’ Hall of Fame.

Brady served as program director of radio station WJOY during the early 1970s under the late Frank Balch. At the time, he dreamed of owning his own radio station and later purchased WFAD-AM in Middlebury; he added WCVM-FM to his broadcasting company.

Brady’s stations were community oriented with an emphasis on local news.

McDonald’s reopens Oct. 28

By Lou Varricchio Middlebury’s revamped “green” McDonald’s Restaurant on U.S. Route 7 will reopen Oct. 28 with considerable fanfare. The new, energy efficient restaurant will sport a fresh exterior and interior look with added outside green space.

The old restaurant was demolished during the summer; the new restaurant was built on the site of the old structure. At the cost of a new design, the restaurant has lost several parking spaces.

On hand for the ribbon-cutting event will be Gov. Jim Douglas, a resident of Middlebury. The governor is a McDonald’s fan. Joining the VIPs for the day is Ronald McDonald, the restaurant chain’s international icon of fun and good food.

The event will have several prize giveaways including six bicycles to be given away. To honor the day, Happy Meals will be $1.99. A Grand Prize Giveaway, an Arctic Cat DVX 300 Sport ATV, will be drawn Nov. 26.

The first 100 customers on Oct. 28 will win free Egg McMuffins, once a week, for one year.

According to McDonald’s, 10 percent of opening day sales will be donated to the Mary Hogan and Bridge schools in Middlebury.

The One-World Library Project at the Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol. will host a free program, “Created at the Dawn of Time and Coveted by China’s Ancient Emperors: China’s Extraordinary Natural Stone Paintings” on Thursday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. Shelburne-based art and antiques collector Doug Schneible will discuss the landscape stone paintings known as Shi-Hua. According to Schneible, collectors have revered these landscape stone paintings for centuries, particularly since the Ming dynasty when Dali marble became a favored asset. In the west, the French took particular fancy to these beautiful works of art naming them "pierres de reve” or dreamstones. In this program, Schneible will explore the history, geology, creation, spiritual significance and value determination of these natural works of art.

Schneible is the president of Schneible Fine Art, a Shelburne-based gallery that specializes in Asian antiquities and contemporary art.

Schneible has traveled to the Dali Prefecture and the Cangshan Mountains in southwestern China’s Yunnan Province to the mines where these special stones are extracted, meeting with craftspeople whose families have worked on this unique art form for generations.

where it disappeared. But this wasn’t the end of it. It continued into the next day.

Bill Brann interviewed the eyewitnesses later. Bill, can you jump in and continue?

Brann: Ok. Brian heard a report on the police scanner that something was going on. Now the Gosselins only live a few miles from Abair Road.

So, Paul Gosselin and his father had walked out into the field. They were then greeted by a tremendous vocalization that trumpeted across the field! Father and son moved back to the safety of the edge of the road.

Meanwhile a deputy sheriff was out in the field with a searchlight. The light fell on the thing.

The deputy blurted out: “What the hell is that?!” (He later denied saying that.) They all knew exactly what it was. But they never labeled it (as Bigfoot).

I was there for a long time interviewing everyone to get the story. What they said, as I was told, was that it was between sevenand eight-feet tall. It had long hair in the back and walked with a slight hunch. Because it was dark outside, they couldn’t distinguish any fingers, hands (or other details).

Ah, but this wasn’t the end of it! Brian Gosselin can tell you all about his experience (his close encounter) on the following night.

To be continued.

Part 2: Editor’s note: This is part of occasional series about Bigfoot and Champ sightings in Vermont and New York.

A group of amateur researchers are searching the north woods of Vermont and New York for a strange woodland creature, long thought to be extinct, popularly known in folklore as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. In the North Country of New York, New England and Quebec, the creature is known by its Abenaki name, Wejua.

Is Wejua a hominoid? The majority of biologists scoff at the idea that a large “ape”, a close relative to mankind, still populates the woodlands of North America.

Hominoids are members of biology’s superfamily of primates; it includes both apes and humans. So, based upon the details of dozens of eyewitness accounts in New York and Vermont since the 1600s, if a living (or dead) Wejua is ever produced, it will most likely be classified as an hominoid by science.

Bigfoot or Wejua sightings are the focus of the Northern Sasquatch Research Society based in Hudson Falls, N.Y. Its members include Frank Siecienski of Hubbardton, Brian Gosselin of Whitehall, Cliff South of South Glens Falls, and John Pearson and Bill Brann of Glens Falls.

Over the next several weeks, in multiple parts and through the voices of NSRS researchers themselves, we’ll report on spine-tingling accounts of Bigfoot in our region.

Former Whitehall police officer Brian Gosselin was an eyewitness to a now famous incident on Abair Road in Hampton, N.Y., near the Vermont state line, across from Fair Haven.

Gosselin has been featured on several national television documentaries about Bigfoot.

We continue our multi-part interview with NSRS researchers about Bigfoot sightings in our region: L.V. Brian, Bigfoot and Yeti researchers around the word know you. You’re an eyewitness to an amazing event that occured back in 1976 in Whitehall, N.Y. Can you and Bill Brann please talk about it?

Gosselin: Well, I was a Whitehall patrolman in 1976. I was in my patrol car when another car comes barreling down Williams Street.

It came to a dead stop right next to me. The guys in the car were clearly agitated. They told me they had just witnessed a weird creature on Abair Road.

“We need help,” one of them said to me. “We gotta get this and we gotta get that.” They were extremely excited.

I looked at them. Seriously, I replied, “what kind of stuff are guys on? Are you drinking?”

They were serious all right. They left me there and then went to the Petco station—it used to be an all-night garage— to pick up a friend Mark Penny.

Brann: Ok, I’ll pick up the story at this point.

All three young men went back to Abair Road. I later questioned Mark Gosselin about what he and the others saw. He said that what they saw was a “large shadow” moving out into the field. (The landscape has changed quite a bit around there today.) They immediately drove back to Whitehall and then talked to Brian again.

Gosselin: These guys were serious. Mark was wound up; there was really something out there. So I called my father, a fellow police officer, who had just gone off duty. I also called the New York State Police and the sheriff’s department. Two state troopers, a sheriff, my father, Mr. Penny, my brother Paul, and Marty went out there. When they returned there (Abair Road) they all saw the same thing at the same time. They had, what ever it was, in a spotlight... it was maybe 500 to 600 yards away.

You could see a monstrosity going up along the hedge row, then over a fence, and into a patch of thick briar and thornapple. That’s

Middlebury’s new real-estate speculators know best

T

own officials, local business leaders (self-determined or is there a criteria?), and college representatives have been meeting to consider hiring an economic developer for Middlebury. That's just what Middlebury needs: another tax-payer funded town position.

It used to be that entrepreneurs rolled the dice on a business he/she thought could provide a living and perhaps grow. If it did, bravo. If it didn't, well, the business would close. Success was a natural result of how much the business filled a need or want of the community. That's generally how it's been done throughout the history of this country.

But now it seems that those same town officials, local business leaders and college representatives think they know better. They want the power—in fact, they have already assumed the power to determine ahead of time which businesses are to be encouraged and which to be discouraged. And they are able to manipulate the future of downtown Middlebury through the permitting process and by being proactive.

For example, the town bought the former Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society (CVUUS) meeting house at 6 Water St. with the intent to demolish the building and sell the lot, thereby preventing anyone from buying the lot and rehabilitating the existing structure. Why? Because the group had determined that the building was "undesirable."

Since when are Middlebury town officials, local business leaders, and college representatives suppose to be in the business of speculating in real estate on taxpayer money?

During the past decade, downtown Middlebury has seen lots of tax-payer and grant money "improvements" while ironically experiencing the loss of business vitality. Twenty years ago, she could proudly be counted among the short list of "quintessential New England towns." That couldn't be said in good conscious today.

Portrait of a black hole B

lack holes represent the wonder and mystery of modern astronomy. These sinkholes in space have inspired a whole new field of deep-space research.

Nothing, not even light rays, can escape the gravitational clutches of black holes. They are deformities in the spacetime continuum and are created by highly compact masses and then fed by cosmic debris for millions, even billions of years.

If humans could travel down a black hole (not really very likely despite sci-fi tales to the contrary), they’d end up—where? No one really knows. What’s inside these black holes? Do they emerge somewhere—or somewhen— else? If we ever know for sure, it will be thanks to mathematics and observation. The super gravity field lines and extreme cosmic radiations around these holes would obliterate all life, so we’re not likely to ever get too close to these weird objects.

This year began a complex effort by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics to electronically link dozens of radio astronomical observatories around the world to perform a very daring task—photograph a black hole for the first time in history.

When completed around the year 2020, the proposed Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT, will span our globe using a process called Very Long Baseline Interferometry.

VLBI enables simultaneous observations of deep-space objects by multiple telescopes. In the case of the EHT project now underway, the radio telescopes are being combined to create a single, giant telescope on Earth. Thus, the scope’s size equals the extreme separation between the telescopes.

Currently international observatories on five continents, including one at the U.S. South Pole Station, are teaming up as the key components of EHT. The target of EHT is the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A* or Sadge-A Star for short. This object, discovered in 1974, cannot be observed in the optical spectrum; this means no human eye can ever see it.

Sage-A* can only be observed in regions of the electromagnetic spectrum that are both far above and below the visible spectrum—these regions include microwaves (above or longer wavelengths) and x-rays and gamma rays (below or shorter wavelengths).

Sadge-A* is a highly active radio source at the bull’s eye of our galaxy’s core; it is 26,000 light years away from us.

From Earth, it is located on the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius. And just like every galaxy we observe in deep space, our Milky Way has an immense gravity hole at its center.

How big is Sadge-A*?

Well, it’s big on a mindnumbing scale. The Milky Way’s mother of all black holes is estimated to have a mass equivalent to 4 million

By Lou Varricchio suns. The stellar mass is compressed into a small volume—and that’s essentially what makes the immense “dark star”.

Sadge-A*’s event horizon, the boundary around the black hole, is 24 million kilometers (15 million miles) in diameter. It’s so large that it is 20 microarcseconds across in the sky or one part per 10 billion of a circle. As seen from Earth, it’s approximately the size of one of Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard’s golf balls left on the Moon in 1971.

Because the gravity of Sadge-A* bends light, it acts as a giant lens. So when the EHT array finally assembles the data to create an image of Sadge-A*, it will be more of a silhouette of the black hole, not the actual object. And the object will appear larger than it actually is.

Astronomers predict that Sadge-A* will look lopsided due to its hyper spinning; light rays approaching Earth will be brightest when compared to those traveling in the opposite direction.

What’s in the Sky: Look for Comet Hartley 2 in the night sky this week. The 6th magnitude comet is visible in binoculars during the evening high in Perseus. On Oct. 20, the comet will be closest to Earth. For an online sky map of the comet’s path see: http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/0103P/2010.html.

Money, music, misbehavior, and missing out

E

xistential question: if it walks like a duck, but isn’t labeled as a duck, is it still a duck? I’d say yes, but that’s because I’m just an amateur researcher, not a highly-skilled professional in the general field of education and the specific subfield of the Student-Who-Won’tLearn (SWWL) phenomenon.

With one exception, cited in an earlier column, the SWWL label is verboten for this subject. Instead, real researchers are required to use phrases like “student assent” and “relational power”.

You’ll find the former in the subtitle of “I Won’t Learn from You, the Role of Assent in Learning”, a 1992 teachersare-guilty little book by educator Herbert Kohl and you’ll find the latter in “When Students Have Relational Power”, a 2006 paper by academic researcher John Smyth.

Kohl explains that student refusal to learn stems from such teachers’ faults as using the sexist “he” instead of the inclusive “people” when speaking, and Smyth explains that student refusal to learn stems from the teachers’ superior position in the classroom.

The tragedy of my younger life, I now understand, was my subservient behavior in the classroom, my failure to resist various teacher “isms” and my deferential willingness to accept subject-error correction from a dominant singlewhite-female authority figure.

Had I been more conversant with social justice, I would have saved face by not making errors trying to learn math and reading, by the passive device of choosing not to learn (missing out) and the active device of classroom disruption (misbehavior). Consider the “face” argument as described in the SAGE Handbook of Curriculum and Instruction, Connelly et al., 2008.

Here’s a quote from p. 204: “To try to learn something new with a teacher is to display one’s self to the teacher as incompletely competent, and these slightly damaged performances by the learner in tandem with the teacher may well be visible to fellow students as well. Thus, the potentially audienced character of every action by a student that was previously mentioned above presents the potential risk of face threat to a student at every moment in which the student attempts to learn something new. Taking the risk of face threat, then, is necessary if one is to attempt a new skill. And, depending on what Dewey (1938, 1963) called ‘the total social set-up of the classroom’ (p.45), students’ attempts to learn can be more or less risky in terms of face threat”.

If I’d known that I’d never have gone to the chalkboard to perform before my 30 or so classmates when so ordered by my SWWF classroom overseer: the SAGE manual teaches the teacher not to achieve student proficiency by correction of error. Let them sit there, missing out, studentswho-won’t-learn, making no errors, but with intact face.

And I actually believed that the humiliation of getting it wrong was an incentive for getting it right. How primitive

it was, then.

The ancient Romans called surly citizen pacification bread-and-circuses; in modern public education, it’s called money and music.

Not all educators support this incentivization; some call it bribery. The literature is unclear on the subject of actual Students-Who-Won’tLearn behavior: is it active classroom disruption, necessitating teacher abandonment of the other 15 in the class to try to deal with one (ejection to the principal’s office no longer allowed in public school) or is it just passive classroom disengagement? If so, the teacher can still devote effort to the 15 who have “assented” (a little Kohl lingo, there) to learn something and thereby avoid missing out on a free (well, taxpayerfunded) opportunity.

What is more interesting is the question about teacher competence (and accountability for student achievement) it raises. If the SWWL’s are paid or entertained to demonstrate proficiency, does the teacher thereby get more accountability points and merit pay? What about the equally skilled teacher in the district which chooses not to bribe –oops, make that “incentivize”-- dismissal for incompetence? What about dismissal for SWWL’s, not their adult supervisors? Or is that forbidden by the 28th Amendment: “No SWWL, whether actively disruptive or passively disengaged, shall be dismissed from the classroom”?

Closing note: I tried really, really hard to appreciate the “Forgive-us-Father-for-we-have-sinned” apologia of Mr. Kohl and other educators for the sins of dealing insensitively with SWWL’s, but eventually I refused to assent to his teaching.

While I expect a really high grade for trying really hard, I won’t reject my own personal SWWL label for refusing to learn. Wearing that label earns me the compassion of William Ayers, highly skilled education critic/writer and Progressive activist/domestic terrorist/explosives expert.

He writes, in a blurb on the Kohl book, of the oppression and brutality SWWL’s experienced and commends SWWL’s, (that now includes me) for “acting reasonably and intelligently in the face of brutality and craziness”.

I had never realized that I had meekly endured conditions of brutality and craziness at my old F.W. Pennington Elementary School. Example: the desk-chair combinations, in rows, were fixed to the floor.

THE EAGLE - 5

Tractor Parade: something for everyone!

By Rachel Carter Organized at the counter of Spear ’s Corner Store—the hub of the East Charlotte community—the East Charlotte Tractor Parade celebrated its tenth year of antique and modern tractors rumbling down Spear Street to Baptist Corners ending with a town party. This year the 10th anniversary happened to fall on 10/10/10—Oct. 10, 2010.

The East Charlotte Tractor Parade celebrations began Friday evening with a barn dance at the Old Lantern, continued with Spear ’s Corner Store activities on Saturday, and wraped up with the Tractor Parade and town party on Sunday.

A tractor display presented by Harv Sharrow featured his restored 1918 Model 1020 International Titan tractor previously owned by the Rotax family. It was presented

by Spear ’s Corner Store.

Local music featuried the Bulls Eye Barbershop Quartet, the Unpredictables, the Mayfly Girls and the Silver Leviathan Band.

In addition to the parade, festivities included a farmer ’s market, craft fair, food vendors, face painting, animals, children’s games and pony rides presented by Spear ’s Corner Store The East Charlotte Tractor Parade began in 2001 with 30 tractors and now in its 10th year expects over 150 tractors. Proceeds

from the barn dance and vending throughout the weekend benefit the East Charlotte Grange.

The parade started as a way for the community to gather with neighbors after the harvest and to show appreciation to the many farm families in the area for their hard work and perseverance in keeping the East Charlotte and beyond farming community alive.

ACTR bus driver causes accident, VSP say Vermont State Police are investigating a multiple-vehicle accident that occured Oct. 11 at 9:20 a.m. The vehicles, including an ACTR bus, were southbound on U.S. Route 7 in New Haven with vehicle 2 being the lead vehicle.

Vehicle 1, an ACTR bus driven by Lawrence A. Senecal, 70, of Vergennes with only a single passenger aboard, attempted to pass vehicle 2, driven by Randall B. Thurber, 54, of Bristol on the left.

This occured while vehicle 2 was attempting a left turn.

The front of the ACTR bus collided with the left rear side to vehicle 1 in the northbound lane. Thurber’s vehcile spun around and came to rest in the north bound brake down lane facing north.

Vehicle 1 came to rest in the northbound lane facing south. State Police were assisted at the scene by a Vermont Game Warden, Addison County Sheriff's Department, New Haven Volunteer Fire Department and Bristol Rescue.

Statements obtained and evidence at the scene revealed that the cause of the accident was unsafe passing by the ACTR bus driver.

Police link Orwell man to drive-by shooting On Oct. 15, at approximately 11:39 p.m, Vermont State Police troopers were alerted, via radio broadcast from Vermont State Police Rutland Dispatch, to be on the lookout for a silver Ford Expedition or similar type vehicle.

The broadcast also advised that the vehicle had been involved in a drive-by shooting at 43 Summer St. in Rutland City. At the time of this broadcast, VSP troopers started to assist Rutland Police Department with locating the vehicle.

A trooper was in the area on U.S. Route 4 in Castleton when he observed the a vehicle similar to the vehicle.

The Vermont State Police stopped the vehicle near Exit 4 in Castleton.

Eric Grenier, 28, of Orwell was the sole occupant and operator of the vehicle. He was arrest for criminal suspension of driver's license. The state police executed a search warrant on the motor vehicle.

The search warrant revealed a loaded 9mm Ruger handgun and a spent 9mm bullet casing inside of the vehicle. Also located in the vehicle was a mature marijuana plant and processed marijuana.

The Vermont State Police jailed Grenier at the Marble Valley Correctional Facility.

Newspapers are a thing of mine

I

n Vermont we live happily content within a season— to a point. When the point is about to be passed, the season changes. Good. We love it.

Regarding seasons, I crave change; regarding my daily activities, not so much.

I eat lunch at the same place every day I’m able, and I’m able most every day. I make my bed every morning, brush my teeth three times a day, and exercise every day, a couple times a day.

I foresee a day when I won’t eat lunch at the same place every day because businesses don’t last forever, but mostly all the things I do every day I will do every day until my last.

If you go to the gym I go to, about the same time span I go, on a regular basis, and have the slightest ability to perceive, you know I read the newspapers on the cardio machines every day.

On the Stairmaster I ply open the papers, which depending on my interest in that day’s content takes me 15 to sometimes a little more than 30 minutes to read. I’m off the Stairmaster after thirty minutes, and I set and continue my cardio on a stationary bike, continuing to scour the final bits of the paper, or cracking open

South of the border, down Mexico way

S

ones de Mexico, an ensemble dedicated to preserving the various “sones” or styles of folk music that are indigenous to the various Mexican states, was the second offering from the UVM Lane Series recently. The Redstone Recital Hall had few empty seats either for the concert itself or for the pre-concert talk, a staple feature of the Lane Series.

This remarkable six-member group between them played some 30 to 40 instruments, as well as singing and, in the case of the lone woman member, remarkable step dancing.

The focus for this particular concert was centered on the music of the late Mexican revolution, so that music of the time of the revolution was one aspect, music created by the revolution another, as well as music that sang the praises of such folk-heroes as Pancho Villa. There was at least one Revolutionary march.

Under the leadership of Victor Pichardo, an active member of the ensemble, and with the narration by Juan Dies, the ensemble moved through all the elements of its program with sounds as colorful as the colors of the costumes of Mexico and as vivid as the poinsettias and the bougainvillea and all the other floral wonders of the country.

THE EAGLE - 7

and starting on the New York paper. If I finish it before the hour, I read on a book I’ve brought.

This newspaper reading. It’s what I do, every day. I love to do it. It’s my little thing. It’s my pleasure. It’s a habit, a weakness, call it an affectation if you’d like; I don’t care what the heck it is, as long as it is that I read my papers while I exercise my heart every day on the Stairmaster and stationary bike—damn it.

A week ago a gym regular who also brings and reads a New York paper everyday, walked over to me up on the Stairmaster and asked if he could see my paper for “just a minute.” Just a minute, is what he said. He’d forgotten to buy one that day.

I was curious. Will he actually just “look” at my paper and for “just a minute,” while standing beside me, and hand it back, or will he read my paper for a great deal more than a minute, on his favorite stationary bike, which is across the way and down from mine? And if he does read the entire thing, will he bring it back as soon as he’s done, so if I’m done reading my Vermont paper I can continue reading with the New York paper, the way I so love to do every day of the year?

By the way, the guy is a good guy, we chat occasionally. He certainly knows I read my New York paper at the gym every day.

What does the guy do when I hand him the paper? He takes it to his bike, places his towel on the handlebars, sets the paper on his towel, settles in, starts spinning his legs, and reads. And reads. And reads. He ain’t just taking a quick look.

When he’s completely finished he turns to the vacant bike to his left, and sets the paper on the seat. He ain’t bringing it back, at least not until he’s done his workout. Holy crap!

I finish the paper and start on my book. Freaks me a little to be

reading out of my regular sequence, but I hang in. My 30 minutes is up on the Stairmaster before the dude is completed his spin, so I go over and politely ask if he’s “all set,” with my paper to which he, while streams of sweat meander down his ruddy cheeks replies “Oh yeah, I was waiting for someone to come past here so they could bring it over to you.”

“Oh,” I nod, having already turned, paper in hand, to my stationary bike.

Is the man’s behavior selfish? Or am I selfish feeling like I won’t lend him my paper the next time he asks, if only on principal?

I don’t mind I wasn’t able to read my paper when I wanted to, I just wonder, if I had a kid, would I teach he or she that if they forgot their paper on a certain day they should not borrow someone else’s, but instead, they should go without that day, or wait and buy themselves one the next time they had the chance.

At least I got a kick out of the guy.

Funny thing, a couple days after, another guy, short, loud, always spoutin off about politics and how Stowe residents are constantly getting screwed, came barreling toward me and said “Hey Rusty, I forgot to buy the New York paper today, let me borrow yours.” I said no.

No harm done all around.

One particularly wonderful moment in the program came when the ensemble turned its attention to J. S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, which suffered no harm at the hands of the ensemble, producing an effect that the composer could certainly have accepted without any qualms.

The audience, charmed by the first sounds of the evening, participated whenever asked to do so during a generously programmed concert. At the conclusion of the program, they were equally generous with their applause, bringing the members of the ensemble back to the stage for a number of bows. All in all, it was a brilliant and wonderful evening.

I'm not a particular fan of the plays of Caryl Churchill, a playwright whose purpose is to explore and then explode a number of conceptual entities such as colonialism, patriarchy, sexual stereotyping, etc. The UVM Department of Theater brought Churchill's 1979/1980 play “Cloud Nine” to the Royall Tyler Theatre recently.

The play takes place in colonial Victorian Africa during act one and the London of 100 years later, for the characters it is only 25 years later, during act two. As she is wont to do, Churchill has a good deal of gender-bending in the casting, even going so far as to have a character played by a man in act one (Betty) and by a woman in act two and there are other characters whose casting is identical to this.

In addition, there are same-sex liaisons and other somewhat shocking (to the original audiences, since the Wolfenden Report was only 11 years old at the time that Churchill wrote the play) depictions. To the modern audience – at least to the modern audience on the night I saw the play—all of these elements have lost their edge, although same-sex kissing can send a frisson born of watching naughtiness through an audience.

The production is superb, quite simply superb. The ensemble cast has obviously paid close attention to its director, Sarah E. Carleton, who is a gifted actress, especially in the area of drawing room comedy, comedy of manners – and don't think for a moment that this play is not about manners and about drawing rooms. In fact, the play, as acted by the ensemble, is a wonderful example of a drawing room comedy. It matters not how much of the background history of the generation of the play has seeped into the actors' realizations of their characters, it is never front and center, and on the night that I attended, a monologue in the second act actually proved to be quite cathartic for me. You don't generate catharsis through gender-bending, or so it seems to me.

The physical production is astonishingly well handled. The set is composed of approximately five objects, and yet because of the attention the director has paid to stage groupings that move amoeba-like from one stage snapshot to another, the stage is always comfortably inhabited. The costumes and the lighting and other elements, when added together, equal a highly successful physical production.

I should not have to return to a problem which haunts the Royall Tyler, but sitting above stage left in a box, I had great difficulty in hearing all of the lines, and even though I have the ability to allow for this intransigent problem, it can nevertheless effect one's reaction to the whole production. I hope something can be done to alleviate this constant problem, especially since the quality of the productions seems to be on the rise.

Vermont in top-10 energy efficient states States across the United States have voluntarily achieved major new strides in energy efficiency, according to the 2010 State Energy Efficiency Scorecard from the nonprofit and independent American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.

The key state-specific rankings in the 2010 ACEEE scorecard are as follows: California retained its no. 1 ranking for the fourth year in a row, outpacing all other states in its level of investment in energy efficiency across all sectors of its economy.

The balance of the top 10 states: Massachusetts (no. 2, holding steady), Oregon (no. 3, up from no. 4), New York (no. 4, up from no. 5), Vermont (no.

5, up from no. 6), Washington (no. 6, up from no. 7), Rhode Island (no. 7, up from no. 9), Connecticut (tied for no. 8, down from no. 3), Minnesota (tied for no. 8, holding steady), and Maine (no. 10, holding steady).

The 10 states with the most room for improvement in the Scorecard (which includes the District of Columbia) are: Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Alabama, Mississippi (no. 50, down one spot); and North Dakota (no. 51, down two spots).

Other findings: Texas (no. 32) and New Hampshire (no. 22) dropped the farthest in the 2010 Scorecard, down nine spots each.

State budgets for energy efficiency in 2009 are almost double the level of spending in 2007, increasing from $2.5 billion to $4.3 billion.

Reported electricity savings from energy efficiency programs across all states increased 8 percent between 2007 and 2008 (the most recent available data).

Brady served three years as president of the VAB. The first Red Sox Jimmy Fund radiothon was held at WFAD; it is now a New England-wide event. Brady created the popular “Grand Prize” $1,000 treasure hunt on local radio and it is now an annual event, sponsored by the Eagle newspaper. Brady made the crossover to newspaper management in 2000.

from deep mountain cave mines, is carefully cut into thin slabs. Experienced craftspeople, members of China’s Bai Minority Group, have been practicing this art for over four generations.

If a cutter is lucky, the slab’s inner bounds reveal a palette and pattern of uncompromising natural beauty. Thus, a unique work of art is born. Natural inclusions found suggest heavenly landscapes: misty mountains, lofty peaks and meandering riverbeds. Well observed patterns known in Chinese as "Caihu" (colored flowers), "Yunhui" (grey clouds) and "Baishi” (white jade) describe valued contents.

Today most Dali marble mines have been closed by the government because of environmental and other regulatory issues. Extraction and transportation is arduous and access is extremely limited to a handful of dedicated generations old Bai workers and "donkey" caravans. It may be a matter of a few short years before access to these mines is completely terminated.

Charlotte resident to appear in Woody Allen play

By Dick Martin

from a scene that keeps getting rewritten.

Harcourt has been in three previous Shelburne Players productions, appearing as Norval Hedges in “Born Yesterday”, Inspector Goole in “An Inspector Calls”, and Friar Francis in “Much Ado About Nothing”. He has been involved in community theater on and off for 35 years.

Harcourt recently started serving as a member of the Shelburne Players board. He lives in Charlotte with his wife Jennifer, works as an I.T. manager, and is a singer, guitarist at St. Catherine of Sienna in Shelburne.

The evening promises to be a night of laughter as this trio of short plays showcase the works of some of the funniest and wittiest playwrights in contemporary theater. Performances will be held at Shelburne Town Center stage, 5420 Shelburne Rd. in Shelburne on Nov. 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. and on Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. Further information is available at www.shelburneplayers.com.

Charlotte resident David Harcourt will take the stage at Shelburne Town Center in Riverside Drive by Woody Allen, one of three one act plays featured this November in Shelburne players' fall production "3 One Act Comedies".

This comedic farce is about a once brilliant ad copywriter and now vagrant, played by David Harcourt as Fred, who stalks another writer, played by Peter Espenshade of Shelburne, he believes has stolen his ideas and life story for a screenplay.

The other one act comedies include Sure Thing by David Ives, featuring Aaron Kindsvatter and Jill Barr, about two strangers who get saved by a bell whenever either makes a conversational faux pas, giving them another chance to "ay it right, and “Caught in the Act” by Bruce Kane, where two lovers, played by Bill and Mindy Bickford, try to break free

Charlotte resident David Harcourt, right, as Fred, confronts Peter Espenshade as Jim, in Woody Allen's comic one act, "Riverside Drive".

InBrief

Website explores refugee experience in Vermont The Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury unveiled its“New Neighbors: Bosnia,” the first in a series of websites dedicated to the experiences of refugees resettled in Vermont.

The goal of the New Neighbors project is to build public awareness and understanding of Vermont’s growing refugee communities, and to bring people together across cultural and linguistic differences in a spirit of mutuality and exchange.

“New Neighbor...” presents the stories of people who were uprooted by war in former Yugoslavia and have come to Vermont to start new lives.

The site features their reflections on their ancestral homeland, the trauma of war, their experiences as refugees, the resettlement process, Bosnian culture in Vermont, and their perspectives on building new lives here.

The website includes research-generated materials from the Vermont Folklife Center Archive, new pieces by filmmaker Mira Niagolova and videographer Paul MacGowan, and photographic images and text created by photographer/ethnographer Ned Castle, as well as an education section and links to online resources.

“New Neighbors: Bosnia” was created in partnership with the Vermont Humanities Council’s Vermont Reads 2010 program as a means to deepen readers’ engagement with this

12 - THE EAGLE

SATURDAY October 23, 2010

MUHS student is rising speedway racing star At an age when most teenaged boys are just waiting to get a driver's license, Hunter Bates is wrestling a 2,400-pound race car around two of the trickiest asphalt tracks in the Northeast, and developing into one of the best young talents in the business.

Bates, a 15-year-old sophomore at Middlebury (Vt.) High School who spent his weekends racing in the sportsman division at Albany-Saratoga Speedway and Devil's Bowl Speedway, was named the 2010 Champlain Valley Racing Association Driver of the Year, and for good reason. In 27 races between the two tracks this year, Bates had 23 top-five finishes, including four victories.

And don't forget, this is only his second year behind the wheel of a race car.

“I really love this sport,” said Bates while taking part in a tiretesting session at Albany-Saratoga Speedway in early October. “I'm happy as long as I'm racing.”

Bates, who played youth hockey for six years before beginning his racing career, got into racing by chance.

“I'm divorced, and he would spend weekends with me and we would hang out,” said Bates' father, Mark. “One night, we went to Turkey Trot (Turkey Trot Raceway, a go-kart track near Argyle, N.Y.) to watch the races, and I said, is that something you'd be interested in?

“A couple of weeks later, we were racing.”

That was in 2004, and Hunter Bates' racing career got off to a shaky start.

“The first night we went to race, it had rained pretty hard,” said Mark Bates. “They did a good job getting the track ready, but it was real narrow. Hunter goes out and in the first turn, he gets into the mud in the infield and packs the cart with mud.

“After that, we started going to Ballston Spa. It was a little more forgiving on the asphalt.”

Hunter proved to be a natural, and in 2007, the Bateses began chasing national points, racing in North Carolina, Virginia, Florida and many tracks in between.

“I know he's my son, but very early on, I could see that he had a lot of talent,” said Mark Bates. “I wanted him to go as far as he could.”

Few teenagers get into the competitive world of stock-car racing.

Hunter Bates of Middlebury and Scott Tripp (pictured) are among the exceptions.

Hunter Bates was in contention for a national championship in 2008, but came up short, and when the season ended, he and his father talked about moving from karts to open-wheel cars.

Mark Bates talked to CVRA founder C.J. Richards, a close family friend, to get some advice.

“We talked about putting Hunter in a four-cylinder car, but I thought we were better off putting him in one of these (a crate sportsman),” said Mark Bates. “I've been around racing all my life.

I worked for the Stones (Gardner and Todd) and I've crewed for Wayne Ryan and drivers like Mike Ricci, Jack Johnson, C.D. Coville. I knew I could give Hunter a good car if he ran sportsman. I thought if he ran four-cylinders, he might learn some bad habits.”

So Hunter Bates, who just barely met the minimum age requirement (14) for admission to the pits at the two CVRA tracks, got into an open-wheel car for the 2009 season, and quickly adapted to the additional power. Although he didn't win any races dur-

ing his rookie campaign, he progressed to the point where he was a contender late in the season.

Then, to throw a little curveball at the Bates operation, the two CVRA tracks decided to go switch from dirt to asphalt.

“We were going to be on a two-year plan on the dirt,” said Mark Bates. “But we decided to make the switch, and I'm really happy about it.”

As well he should be. Asphalt actually fit more into Hunter's driving style.

“Even though I miss the dirt, this was a really good opportunity for me,” said Hunter Bates. “I feel confident on asphalt. We finished strong last year, and I felt we could do really well this year.

It took a couple of weeks to get adjusted, but from racing go-karts on asphalt, I think I already had the smoothness.”

Mark Bates has also made sure his son knows driving the car isn't his only responsibility.

“He does all the mechanical work on the car now,” Mark Bates said. “I taught him how to scale the car, and I really didn't work on the car at all during the week this summer.”

Hunter Bates' potential is unlimited, but his future certainly isn't mapped out.

“I want to see him go as far as he can, but obviously, we're going to need more financial support,” said Mark Bates. “We went to Thunder Road to watch an ACT race and that could be an option.

We're definitely going to keep this car, but we might get an ACT car and do a couple of shows. Honestly, I don't know where we'll go from here. But I think with the right opportunity, he could go a lot further.”

Paul Speshock and Donnelly Construction have been a major backer of the Hunter Bates' small block, whose other sponsors include Windy Hollow Homes and Bob Howard's Auto. But like Mark Bates says, the opportunity is there.

“I want to go as far as I possible can,” said Hunter Bates. “I would love to get an ACT car. I just love racing, I don't really care where it is. It's an awesome feeling, especially when you win.”

That's something Hunter Bates will be doing a lot of in the future.

THE EAGLE - 13

Tigers face a solid row of ‘Bengal’ Lancers

By Frederick Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com In MUHS girls soccer action last Thursday in Middlebury, the visiting Lamoille Lancers shutout the hometown Tigers 3-0 to improve to 5-7 on the year. Heidi Fuller, Angie Moreau and Erin Stokes scored the victorious Lancers, while in the net goalie Paxton Boyer made six saves to earn the shutout win. Courtney Backus made five saves for the Tigers, who fell to 2-7-3 on the year with the loss.

On the same afternoon, in Bristol, Rice’s Angie Krywanczyk scored with 28 minutes left in the game, lifting her Falcons to a 1-0 win over the struggling Mount Abraham Eagles. Goalie Alayna Hauke needed to make just five saves to earn the shutout. Gwen Merrill made nine saves for Mount Abraham, who fell to 2-7-2 on the year. The win elevated Rice to 8-4.

One of the Eagles four wins came two days earlier when they squeaked out a 4-3 win in Bristol, over Addison County rivals the Vergennes Commodores.

Jena Whitaker and Evy Jacobs led the Eagles attack with a goal and an assist each. Nicole Norland and Charlotte Paul added single goals, while goalie Gwen Merrill made four saves to preserve the win. Ruby Donbek turned in the hat trick for Vergennes, who dropped to 5-5-1 with the loss. Eagle goalie Caitlin Chaput matched Merrill’s four saves.

The Middlebury Tigers were in action Tuesday as well, battling the visiting Rutland Raiders to a scoreless tie. In a game that cam down to a battle of goalies, both were perfect.

Courtney Backus posted a dozen saves for the hometown Tigers, while her counterpart, Rutland’s Caroline Corsones preserved the tie by making seven saves.

Meanwhile, the same afternoon in Jericho, the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks jumped out to a 3-0 first half lead over the Mount Mansfield Cougars, who had given CVU their only defeat earlier in the season. CVU completed their revenge, cruising in the second half to a 4-0 win. Katie Parker led CVU‘s attack with a pair of first half goals, while Kendall Berry and Lindsey Hawley added single goals to the win. Emily Sackett wasn’t challenged much thanks to the control exerted by her teammates, needed to make just three saves to get credit for the shutout. The Redhawks improved to 10-1 with the win. Mallory Fischer made eight saves for the Cougars who dropped to 7-4 on the year.

Cougars vs. Eagles It took overtime last Thursday (October 15th) in Bristol for the visiting Mount Mansfield Cougars to defeat the hometown Eagles 3-2 in high school field hockey action. With the score tied at 2-2 in sudden death overtime MMU’s Liz Znamierowski fed teammate Emma Oliver, who took the pass and blasted the ball past Eagle goalie Lizzie Huizenga, giving the Cougars a 3-2 win. It didn’t look like the Cougars would need overtime to pull this one off. They held a 2-0 lead in the second half thanks to goals from Znamierowski and Miranda Tremblay. But the Eagles don’t quit, it is not in their character and they proved it in this one. Courtney Jipner and Sadie Roy scored late to force the overtime. But if had not been for an outstanding performance in front of the net by Huizenga the Eagles would have never seen overtime.

Huizenga posted an impressive 17 saves to keep her Eagles alive in the contest. Kimi Kenney and Kelsey Leo combined to make seven saves for MMU. The Cougars improved to 57 with the win, while Mount Abraham fell to 2-9-1.

The Eagles got that second win just two days earlier (Tuesday, October 12th) when they shutout the Burlington Sea Horses 1-0. Jipner scored the game’s lone goal, on an assist from Roy, in the first half and Huizenga did the rest, making eight saves to preserve the shutout win. Evelyn Schaedel had three saves for Burlington who remained winless at 0On the same afternoon in Essex, the Middlebury Tigers field hockey team loss 3-1 to the Essex Hornets 3-1. Chinelo Asanya, Taylor Hallowell and Haley Morse scored for the victorious Hornets, with some help from Lindsey Paquette and Taylor Barry, who contributed assists to the win. Goalie Hannah Lundie made eight saves for the Hornets, who improved to 6-3-1. Katie Ritter scored for the Tigers lone goal, off an assist provided by Hannah Quinn. Heather Ploof made 15 saves for the 5-4-2 Tigers.

5-4-2 The Champlain Valley Union Redhawks field hockey team had much more fun last Tuesday (October 12th), in Hinesburg. Kelsey Caminiti and Louise Gibbs scored single goals, leading the Redhawks to a 2-0 shutout of the Mount Mansfield Cougars. Jenna Cloutier and Robin Powell assisted on the goals. CVU goalie Sami Kassel was never really challenged and needed to make just three saves to earn the shutout. Kimi Kenney and Kelsey Leo combined to make eight saves for the Cougars, who dropped to 4-6 on the season.

Tigers, Cosmos 7-0 The Middlebury Tigers boys soccer team controlled the game in Vergennes last Wednesday (October 13th) from the outset. They built up a comfortable 4-0 lead heading into intermission, and then never looked back, cruising to a 7-0 win. Ethan Roy led a balanced Tiger ’s offense with two goals. Nico Mackey, Conner West, Adam Peterson, Zach Shambo and Shaw McC added single goals to the lopsided win, while Tiger goalie David Burt needed to stop just two shots to earn the shutout. Stephen Paquette recorded eight saves for the Commodores, who fell to 2-7-2 on the year. The win elevated the Tigers to 6-3-2.

Meanwhile on the same afternoon in Hinesburg the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks remained unbeaten by defeating the Burlington Seahorses 1-0 in more boys high school soccer action. What made this remarkable was they did it without the aid of five starters. What made it sweet was, the only blemish on their record is a tie, and it came against these very same Seahorses earlier in the year. Mac Edgerton scored the games lone goal with six minutes left in the game. CVU goalie Jeffrey Wettstein made five saves to earn the shutout for CVU, who stood at 9-0-1 following the win. Burlington was 8-2-1 with the loss. There is a good chance these two teams could meet again in the deep rounds of post season,, and what a game that will be..

The Mount Abraham Eagles weren’t so fortunate, falling at home to the Lamoille Lancers 4-2. The Lancers, were trailing the Eagles 2-1 with 17 minutes left to play. But The visiting Lacers outscored their hosts 3-0 over the final 17 minutes to pullout the win. Abel Warden led Lamoille with a pair of goals. He was helped by Martin Chandler and John Sciorintino, who contributed one goal. Derek Zanat earned this shutout with a 10 save performance. Tommy Nelson scored both goals for the Eagles ) and John Lower blocked six shots for the 3-8-1 Eagles.

Farewell, Dick.

We’ll miss you

By Bob Chatfield newmarketpress@denpubs.com I was sorry, but not surprised, when I heard about Richard “Dick” Bullock passing away Oct. 1. I had heard of his failing health during the summer. I was told the doctors weren’t giving him much time to live—days maybe weeks.

That was back in July which made it that much more of surprise when I saw him with his Tiger football broadcast partner David Sears, at the team’s scrimmage with Mount Abraham Union High in late August.

I was talking with the Mike Donoghue of the Burlington Free Press before the start of the high school football season; at that time, Donoghue told me he thought Dick would be determined to see the first home game under the new outdoor lights that were put up this summer. I agreed that Dick would want to be there, but I still had my doubts.

Donoghue proved to be prophetic. I was extremely pleased to see Dick when I went through the gate at the Tigers first home game a few weeks ago. It was obvious he wasn’t in the best of health, but there he was, just the same, greeting people as they came through the gate.

The Friends of Middlebury Football, which dedicated its 2010 program to Dick, performed a class act by honoring him before the contest. But then again, Dick was a class act.

He was color commentator for Tiger football radio broadcasts for 33 years working first with Richard “Ziggy” Livingston and with David Sears. He was also a mainstay of the community both as a businessman and commander of the local American Legion Post 27.

Dick had a love for Tiger football there is no denying that, but more then that, he had an overall passion to help the youth of this community. The final paragraph on the dedication page in the Tiger football program probably best sums it up.

“Dick has always been involved in helping kids learn and grow through athletics. He has worked tirelessly in this regard. Our community has benefited from his vision and commitment for over half a century. We are indebted to him for his many years of caring for us all.”

God bless Richard “Dick” Bullock. I’m a little envious because I know he’s seen the face of God. On a final note: in honor of Dick, the Middlebury Union High football players will have decals with the letters “D.B.” placed on the back of team helmets for the rest of the season.

What a touching gesture of love and respect in memory of a wonderful human being.

InBrief Feds reduce food stamp benefits in Vermont The Vermont Department for Children and Families recently notified about 16,000 Vermont households that their 3SquaresVT benefits—popularly known as food stamps— were reduced starting Oct. 1. Food stamps are funded with taxpayer dollars.

Benefits went down for these households because the federal government required Vermont to lower the standard deduction households could claim for fuel and utilities.

Vermont DCF staffers are recalculating benefits to get notices out to affected households as soon as possible.

Those affected by the change will see an adjustment to their benefits by Nov. 1.

Gymkhana to benefit injured VUHS student The Vermont Quarter Horse Association will sponsor an Oct 23 benefit gymkhana to raise money for Alex Coyle, who was recently injured in a riding accident and suffered severe head trauma. Coyle is a junior at Vergennes Union High School and works part time to take care of the horses he rescued.

The gymkhana is “beginner friendly” and will be an entertaining family event to raise money for the Coyle family.

Non-attendees are also invited to make a donation to the Coyle fund.

For details, contact Lori brown at 802-989-9186.
