A very merry month in Middlebury

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—A Middlebury College political science pr ofessor will r esign Dec. 31 following her July plea of no contest to the char ges of embezzlement.

Carmola was given a deferred sentence. She was also placed on pr obation for 18 months.

Police said Kateri Car mola, 46, stole $4,800 while she served as tr easurer of the Salisbury Historical Society. The thefts took place over a thr eemonth period in 201 1. Police said Carmola claimed she used the stolen money to pay for student field trips. She has been paid back the money , police said.

Carmola informed coworkers and students of her decision to step down at the end of this year via an e-mail message that was distributed on campus.

Despite the serious charges, the educator will continue an association with t he c ollege, t hrough June 2013, as a “visiting scholar”.

A no contest plea, as in Carmola’s case, is also called nolo contender e, the legal Latin term, means “I do not wish to contend.”

According to a Vermont Law School Library r eference desk assistant, a nocontest plea—while not technically a guilty plea— has the same ef fect as a guilty p lea; i t is o ften o ffered as a part of a plea bargain.

The college did not r eturn calls fr om this newspaper.

Local seniors finding help this winter

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—Senior citizens can face a lonely winter in Vermont when you consider how bad weather can impact their personal mobility, food shopping, and access to health care services.

Now over 75 volunteers are helping to address the harsh reality of a northern winter by gathering at the Coca Cola facility in Colchester.

The v olunteers, w hich r ange i n age from teens to 70, are assembling nearly 1,000 so-called blizzard bag.

The bags ar e intended to help seniors get thr ough V ermont’s long, gloomy winter.

Each year CVAA, the Champlain Valley Agency on Aging for Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties in northwest-

ern V ermont, coor dinates the assembly and delivery of the blizzard bags to area seniors who are on the agency’s Meals on Wheels delivery list. A typical blizzard bag includes several shelf stable meals (think military MREs). These meals are intended to be used by the seniors when daily Meals on Wheels delivery is canceled due to heavy snowfall.

According to Zoe Hardy, CVAA’s nutrition dir ector “W e pr ovide these blizzar d bags for two r easons—to provide food for Meals on Wheels clients who may not be able to access food due to bad weather conditions and also allow us to cancel delivery of meals on r eally bad weather days as we are just as concerned about our volunteers' safeVolunteers in Colchester pack nearly 1,000 emergency food bags, known as blizzard ty.” bags, to be distributed this week in a three county area of Vermont.

Vermont man takes on Chick-fil-A chain

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com

MONTPELIER—When David took on Goliath he had faith—faith in his strength and faith in the reach of slingshot. Now comes the “David and Goliath” case between Vermont folk artist Bo M uller-Moore a nd f ast-food g iant Chick-fil-A—it’s a small business guy versus gr eedy corporation drama ready made for Occupy Wall Street.

Muller-Moore, 38, and his friend Jeff Weinstein of Montpelier ar e demanding that Chick-fil-A stop bullying the small business enterprise.

The small businessmen ran afoul of the company with their “Eat Mor e Kale” slogan and t-shirt and bumper sticker products. The r estaurant chain uses the slogan “Eat Mor Chikin” and thinks—few ar e sur e exactly why— Muller-Moore is stepping on their marketing turf.

This isn’t the first time that Chick-

fil-A has gone after Muller -Moore’s business.

Kale and chicken seem menus apart when it comes to market interfer ence, at least to Muller -Moore’s supporters—and there are many of them.

So far , 10,000 people have signed friend Jeff Weinsetin’s nationwide online pr otest form to come to Muller Moore’s rescue.

Weinstein set up Change.org to help Muller-Moore, the owner of the Eat More Kale handmade t-shirt silkscreening company.

Chick-fil-A has filed that MullerMoore’s federal trademark application for the phrase “Eat Mor e Kale” is illegal.

“It’s about corporate bullying and greed,” said W einstein. “Bo supports his family with the income he generates by selling unique, fun shirts and novelty items. As a small business owner, it frightens me to think a person's livelihood and passion is at risk

because a big company like Chick-FilA mounts an attack on an obviously non-competing microbusiness.”

Muller-Moore claims he needs the federal trademark to protect his design in o rder t o e xpand h is g arage-based business.

“Chick-fil-A says that my t-shirts, bumper stickers, and website are confusing their customers, af fecting their profits, and diluting their billion-dollar ad campaign. I assur e you, I have not confused a single Chick-fil-A customer, nor have I cost them a single dime.”

The Vermont m en p lan t o c ontinue promoting their campaign until Chickfil-A stops challenging Muller -Moore and backs off its efforts to block his federal trademark application.

In 2006, Chick-fil-A lawyers sent the Vermonter a cease-and-desist letter .

When Muller -Moore thr eatened to go to the press with the story, the fast food giant backed off.

The Eagle - 3

Former Shelburne resident keeps eye on Mt. St. Helens

Former V ermonter and UVM graduate Cynthia Gardener is familiar with the letters of Pliny the Younger.

In 79 A.D., the Roman author was perplexed by a towering cloud rising above Mount Vesuvius. He observed people tying pillows on top of their heads for pr otection from falling bits of rock. Nobody knew what the earthquakes a few days earlier foretold. Soon, in nearby Pompeii, a wall of super heated air and ash rushed in, killing every straggler.

Gardner would like to make sur e nothing like that happens in the United States. But she r emembers May 18, 1980, at 8:32 a.m., when Mount Saint Helens blew. Another “Plinian” eruption, it caught trained volcanologists b y s urprise.

The north flank of the mountain exploded, lowering the peak 1,300 feet, flattening 230 square miles in the largest landslide in recorded history, killing fifty-seven people, and riveting the world.

Today, Gardner is a senior geologist at the Cascades

When a once-dormant volcano begins to stir , it’s the job of the scientist-in-charge to make the call about when to call emergency managers.

“It is str essful,” Gar dner says, as she looks away toward the deeply quiet Green Mountains of V ermont, while on a rar e visit back to campus and her childhood home in Shelburne.

“There ar e two cultur es: scientists who are in shades of gray, and emergency management in black and white—you evacuate people or you don’t evacuate people,” she says, “part of my job is to make sure we work together to prevent disasters.

“It can make emer gency managers’ heads spin when I tell them Mount Baker may not er upt for the next six thousand years—but they need to be awar e of it,” she said.

Volcano er uptions ar e low-probability hazards, but severe and long-lasting.

Near Mount Rainier , in Washington, 80,000 people live on top of volcanic mudflow deposits. “This is not like worrying about a blizzard or hurricane,” Gardner says, “with volcanic mud-

flows, you’r e potentially burying your town in thirty feet of concrete.”

For all the dangers, Gar dner is fundamentally fascinated by volcanoes. “It’s the snowflake principle,” she said. “Every volcano is different and everything that you’re trying to figure out is below the ground. You have no instr uments that can directly measur e anything you’d like to know, like how much magma ther e is, how hot it is, how fast the stuff is moving upward.”

And a large share of Gardner ’s excitement about the strange Braille that is geology—and her well-honed sense of humility—began as an under graduate at UVM, tooling across the American West with geology pr ofessors Jack Drake, Barry Doolan, and Rolfe Stanley.

Trained in geology while the field was being entir ely rewritten by the theory of plate tectonics, these professors knew how pr ovisional and messy science r eally is, Gardner says—and they transmitted that to students.

“Each er uption shows us something we haven’t seen before,” Gar dner said. “The biggest mistake is to think

OTION AUTOM

that you know what’s going on deep under the earth.”

Would she ever r eturn to Vermont to do geology?

“Although I’ve been gone for over 30 years now, I still say if they would grow me a volcano in V ermont, I’d move back tomorr ow,” she quipped.

Special to the Eagle

Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Wash. She’s just finished a six-year r otation as scientist-in-charge: r esponsible for keeping an eye on the for -now-quiet Mount Saint Helens—and dozens of other volcanoes in a 600mile chain from Mount Baker in northern Washington to Lassen Peak in California.

She helps lead a government r esearch pr ogram at the observatory, developed as a response to the 1980 disaster. This work—on how to interpret the br ooding r umbles, off-gassing, and subtle swelling of mountains—has provided mor e tools than her colleagues in the U.S. Geological Survey had thirty-one years ago.

But she also knows that it’s perilous to for ecast the exact moment when a sleeping giant will waken.

“That’s true to this day,” she says, “We can’t pr edict volcanic er uptions—we don’t know when or with what force.” And yet the observatory, with about fifty people, must do the best it can to read the signs r evealed in seismographs, satellite images, thermal cameras, the chemistry of volcanic acids, and field observations.

From the Editor

A pain in the neck

Rebuilding along the rivers A

A

t a local meeting last month, Middlebury Select Board members heard a report summary presented by the Middlebury River Management Steering Committee. This report dealt with repairs to the Tropical Storm Irenedamaged floodwall along the Middlebury River.

If you’re curious, you can view this concrete floodwall from a small bridge which crosses the river, off Route 125, near the vicinity of the Waybury Inn. We’re sorry to say that the fury of the Aug. 28 tropical storm did the job that a dozen other storms couldn’t accomplish—create a serious vision of future flood damage. Imagine the next tropical storm or hurricane to reach Vermont? Perish the thought. And Middlebury is but a small pixel in a bigger picture.

But the good news is that a petition by local residents did the job that their town officials couldn’t do—namely, raise the level of concern about the path of future floodwaters.

The Select Board did the right thing and will support the will of the people; the will expressed by a petition it received—signed by over 190 Middlebury-area residents—to protect residents along the course of the fickle and often violent Middlebury River.

Of course, petitioners want the repair job done right. Too often, we’ve seen, flood-damage repairs—even damming efforts— make the situation far worse and

only hastens future flooding.

The only thing missing in the recent petition is a call to have the town restrict future residents from building and living along the river. In short, too many Vermonters choose to live along potentially perilous waterways.

Of course, we can’t have Vermonters living along rivers and lakes move away—that’s unrealistic and we’re not calling for such draconian moves—but future building bans along the Middlebury River, and other flood zones around the state, should be considered. Sounds like a task too big for a state like Vermont? Perhaps, but let’s at least discuss it.

This editor has asked this question before: How much of the tab are Vermont taxpayers expected to pick up regarding folks who choose to live in dangerous natural locales? It is no different than similar questions being discussed in places like coastal Florida, landsliding California and levied Louisiana.

The ball is now in the town’s court; it will pay to do the research so that the health of the Middlebury River, and far more importantly, the safety of the residents are number one. The Board is alerting government officials about the petition.

A year from now, let’s revisit the Middlebury River (and others) and see what has been accomplished in averting future disasters.

December 10, 2011

buddy and his wife came over for Monday Night Football on television. Their youngest son came, too. They don’t get ESPN. I laid a better than fair spread on a pine table: Fresh shrimp, cocktail sauce, Cabot Cheddar, Castleton Crackers, the Putney Pumpkin flavor ones, apple butter, peanut butter, chips, two perfect loaves of baguette, cider, water, and tea. Followed it up with my home batched brownies and Strafford Organic ice cream, flavors Egg Nog, Coffee, and Wintermint. Wintermint is my favorite.

Right off, I noticed the Mrs. of the group fidgeting on the couch. Son of a cuss, I bought that couch thinking it was the endall of couch comfort. You know the kind, a big shorthair suede camel-color sectional shaped like an L, a section L. Both sections are plenty long and the cushions go deep, great for a tall dude like me to lay prone while nowhere near touching the ends with my feet or head.

So, anyway, with more than $2K sunk into the couch, the Mrs. of the group’s fidgeting was bumming me out a little thinking I’d wasted my money on the dang thing.

Halfway through the first quarter of the game she said, “My neck is bothering me again. It happens quite often that I get this twinge in my neck.”

Ok, she gets it quite often, so maybe the fidgeting isn’t the couches fault at all? Money not wasted, but still, a definite bummer for her.

She asked me, “Rusty, do you have any eye-bu-prof-it?” (If you think I spell that pain reliever so badly, you should hear me pronounce it.)

I turned from the food table to face her, thought for a second and said, “No. Nope, I don’t, actually, come to think of it.” Until that moment I hadn’t realized that I don’t have a single friggin’ pill in my house. Not even half a Bayer.

She said, “Oh, well, what do you do when you get a headache or something?”

I told her I didn’t get headaches—ever.

I think once every three years something in my head might feel funny, and at the time I think to myself that that must be what a headache feels like. My little triyearly ache lasts about, well I actually don’t

know how long it lasts. It can’t be long, cause no sooner do I think I might be getting a headache, then it’s gone.

I try and eat right. I try to live a healthy overall life style. I try not to bang married women. I pay all my bills. I do many of the things that added up can contribute to an even-keel stress-free life, but, I won’t take credit for my not having headaches or other aches or pains, cause when it comes down to it, my being pain and ache free can probably be blamed on my simply being a lucky so-and-so.

The Mrs. accepted my failure in coming up with a pill for her neck with a small comment, “Oh, no problem, it’s just when I get this kink in my neck I take an iboprophen and it goes away, that’s all.”

We all went about happily watching and nibbling, and she brought out some yarn and knitting tools and commenced to knit.

She was still fidgeting a small bit, but for sure less then before.

Then about an hour later I’d noticed her fidgeting had ceased. “How you doing, how’s the knitting?”

“Oh good,” she said, “the kink in my neck has totally gone away.”

“See,” I said, “if you would have taken the pills you’da thought they made it go away, when really, it just went away on it’s own. The pills would have gotten credit where credit wasn’t due. Maybe you never need the pills.”

Still knitting, and without lifting her head, she smiled and spoke, “Yeah, you may be right.”

Maybe you never need the pills.

DANBY—With apologies to 1980s “Ghost Busters” pop singer Ray Parker Jr., there’s a group of Vermonters that “ain’t afraid of no ghosts.” Meet the Vermont Ghost Hunters, a group dedicated to investigating paranormal occurrences, big or small.

Recently, this “ghost-busting” group spent a night in the Silas Griffith Inn in Danby to check out all the things that go bump in the night in the venerable Rutland County inn.

In 1891, businessman Silas Grif fith built an impressive Victorian-era estate as a wedding gift for his beautiful new bride, Katherine Tiel. Griffith hired local workers and br oke gr ound on his castle in Danby , in the heart of V ermont’s marble belt.

FERRISBURGH—Landlocked Atlantic Salmon have a long history in Lake Champlain.

“You go back to the 1700s salmon wer e very abundant in the lake,” said V ermont fisheries biologist Bernie Pientka.

That changed.

“Through all the logging, thr ough development, thr ough all of that the rivers wer e impacted; the salmon wer e impacted,” said Pientka. “By the 1800s they wer e pr etty much gone from the lake."

So scientists in New York and V ermont partnered up to try to bring them back started around the 1970s.

Salmon were stocked in the lake, but there was a pr oblem—sea lampr ey. The eel-like creatures attach to fish, rasp a hole in their skin with a toothy tongue, and suck the blood and fluids out them.

The parasitic lamprey made it hard for sci-

entists to bring back the salmon population, so biologists targeted the lamprey.

After a r egimen of lampricide tr eatments in rivers ar ound Lake Champlain, sea lamprey populations shrank and fish become more numerous and healthier.

“Decreasing number of wounds, also seeing larger older salmon than we have in the past,” said Pientka. “So we're starting to see some two lake-year, three lake-year fish.”

And Pientka said the fishing is good. He said anglers willing to brave chilly weather can do well this time of year . The fish r un shallow now, and can a lso be caught fr om shore.

A license is needed, and all lake trout and salmon must be at least 15 inches long. There is a limit of two fish, all others must be r eleased.

Anyone thinking of fishing or going out on the lake for anything should check the weather forecast and keep a close eye on conditions, since the lake can be tre acherous, especially in the winter.

Ripton man nabs nine-point buck College establishes program in Cameroon

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RIPTON—Lyle Webb, 56, has been a hunter most of his life. W ith several lar ge game tr ophies to his cr edit, Webb nabbed himself another tr ophy, of sorts—a ninepoint deer shot somewhere in the woods of Ripton Dec. 3.

Webb br ought down the animal on the last day of muzzleloading-rifle season. He used a trusted .50 caliber rifle at 50 yards.

“I prefer not to say exactly where I spotted this buck,” Webb said.

Webb’s most recent buck felled probably weighed appr oximately 230 pounds alive and showed age on its rack. Webb said it’s 180 pounds minus intestines and organs.

“It m ust h ave b een f ive o r m ore y ears old,” Webb noted.

The hunter said it was his thir d ninepoint buck. His last nine pointer was caught in 2008 and we ighed 196 pounds.

Webb said he also shot a five-point buck

MIDDLEBURY—Middlebury College has established a new pr ogram in Cameroon, the newest C.V .

Starr-Middlebury School Abroad and the first in subSaharan Africa. Located in the city ofYaoundé and affiliated with L ’Université catholique d’Afrique centrale (UCAC), the pr ogram will begin offering classes in the fall of 2012.

The curriculum is designed for high intermediate and advanced Fr ench language students. Middlebury will work with UCAC to organize courses for pr ogram participants in several disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Students are also expected to enr oll in courses alongside Cameroonian students at the university, striking a balance between pr ogram and university offerings. All coursework will be conducted in French by local faculty.

Middlebury staf f will identify local families who will host the 10-15 students per semester who ar e ex-

pected to enroll.

Students will adher e to the Middlebury College Language Pledge, a promise to speak no language other than the one they are studying. According to Middlebury College Dean of International Pr ograms Jef f Cason, if they learn one of the many local languages— there are about 240 ethnic groups with as many distinct languages and dialects—they may speak that as well.

Cason and others at Middlebury wer e drawn to Cameroon for several r easons. Along with its many ethnic gr oups, Camer oon, the second lar gest nation in central Africa, offers all the major climates and landscapes of the continent in one country, fr om b eaches, deserts and grasslands to mountains and rainfor ests.

“Among nations in Francophone Africa, Cameroon provides a great deal of cultural and ecological diversity,” he said.

and political capital, Yaoundé is an ideal place for immersion into Francophone African l ife,” a dded Ca son. Yaoundé, with a population of 1.5 million, is the country’s second largest city after Douala.

“We’ve been contemplating a pr ogram in sub-Saharan Africa for some time and our African studies faculty are strongly behind it,” said Middlebury College V ice President of Language Schools, Schools Abroad and Graduate Programs Michael Geisler. “UCAC, which has 4,000 students, is an excellent location since it has the best academic facilities of any university in Cameroon, as well as a strong faculty.”

The C.V. Starr -Middlebury Schools Abroad have more than 50 years of experience in providing academically challenging immersion programs and, with the addition of the site in Cameroon, will operate programs in 38 cities and 16 countries.

Students come fr om a wide range of academic fields and take courses in most disciplines, often alongside host-country students; intern or engage in volunteer work; and live with a family or local r esidents. At every juncture, students ar e encouraged to immerse themselves in the host culture.

The Eagle - 13

New book commemorates Lake Champlain Bridge MIDDLEBURY—Denton Publications and New Market Press recently released the 132page “Lake Champlain Bridge Commemorative Book” to celebrate the new bridge connecting Cr own Point, N.Y . and Chimney Point, Vt. The book was released on Nov. 4, just three days before the span was opened to vehicular traffic on Nov. 7 following an hour-long ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“We felt an obligation to bridge the states of Vermont and New York, along with the counties of Addison and Essex, by printing a book filled with the shar ed history of Chimney Point and Crown Point,” said New Market Press Publisher Edward Coats. “After all, it’s a commitment we make every week covering Lake Champlain community news in The Addison Eagle, the Times of Ti and six other weekly newspapers.”

The 8.5-by-11-inch full-color glossy book includes 38 stories and more than 90 photographs and was pr oduced by staf f at the companies’ New York and V ermont newsrooms. The collection of memories was designed to explor e the history of the 1929 bridge and the construction of the new one.

“This book is a tribute to all those who worked night and day thr ough the frigid cold of our North Country winters and the blistering summer heat to r estore the Lake

Champlain Bridge,” said Denton Publications Publisher Daniel Alexander. “None of us will ever cross this bridge without thinking of its importance to the people who live here and have come to depend so heavily on the strength of its existence.”

The editorial of the “Lake Champlain Commemorative Book” honored Carl F. Peterson, editor of the Essex County News in Port Henry, N.Y., who wr ote an editorial in 1923 that eventually led to the constr uction of the 1929 bridge. There is also a copy of Peterson’s original editorial printed in the book so readers could see how it all started.

Contributors to the book were: Renee Cumm, of Peru; Andy Flynn, of Saranac Lake; John Gereau, of Westport; Fred Herbst, of T iconderoga; Jon Hochschartner , of Lake Placid; Keith Lobdell, of Westport; Jeremiah Papineau, of Carthage; and Lou V arricchio, of Middlebury, Vt. Stories for the bridge book were organized in four categories: 1) old bridge, 2) bridge transition, 3) new bridge, and 4) historical resources around Lake Champlain.

Old bridge: The history of the 1929 bridge is fully explor ed with timelines of its construction (1923-1929) and its lifespan (19292009); personal stories from people who had attended the Aug. 26, 1929 opening ceremony; a story about how the steamer V ermont

III dictated the height of the span; and an investigative piece exploring why T iconderoga’s lobbying efforts to have the bridge built in that community fell short. There is also a story a bout t he l ake’s f irst b ridge, b uilt i n 1776 between Fort T iconderoga, N.Y. and Mount Independence, Vt. Bridge transition: When the original Lake Champlain Bridge was closed on Oct. 16, 2009, r esidents and visitors wer e for ced to make a 100-mile commute ar ound the lake before a free 24-hour ferry was opened next to the bridge site on Feb. 1, 2010. Stories explore the impact of the bridge’s closur e to businesses, commuters, lake security and the ferry. There is also a story about blowing up the original bridge with explosives on Dec. 28, 2009.

New bridge: Stories documenting the construction of the new Lake Champlain Bridge include interviews with the designer T ed Zoli and builders at Flatir on Constr uction; naming the new bridge; the impact the bridge constr uction had on tourism in Port Henry and Crown Point; and the historic journey of the bridge arch, which was floated from Port Henry to Crown Point on Aug. 26, 201 1, exactly 82 years after the first bridge opened.

Historical resources: The book features resources on Lake Champlain history from the

Crown Point State Historic Site, the Chimney Point State Historic Site, and the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in Vergennes.

The “Lake Champlain Bridge Commemorative Book” is $5.00 plus tax and shipping.
