SALISBURY — Upon completion of the autopsy and in conjunction with ballistic analysis conducted by the Vermont Forensic Laboratory of evidence recovered, the Vermont Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has ruled the death of Gerald “Dusty” Woodburn, 52, from Salisbury, a suicide, from a single gunshot to the head.

On Nov. 17, Vermont State Police Trooper Second Class Lewis Hatch, 23, and Trooper Second Class Kaitlyn Armstrong, 24, responded to Woodburn's residence on Lake Dunmore Road in Salisbury, after a 911 call to state police by his girlfriend reporting a domestic disturbance.

While at the residence the troopers attempted to separate and interview the both parties involved, when Woodburn pointed a 9mm hand gun at the troopers. Hatch fired a single round from his .40 caliber duty weapon that struck Woodburn causing nonfatal injuries to his right arm and abdomen.

Ballistic analysis concluded the projectile recovered from Woodburn’s head which resulted in his death was a 9mm bullet.

Select Board discusses town, college property deals

By Kathleen Ramsay newmarketpress@denpubs.com

surance rates low and provide the best fire protection for residential, commercial and institutional properties.

On Nov. 29, representatives of the town and Middlebury College met to continue the discussion of a joint venture between the town and the college for the development of the properties owned by the both to the northwest of the Cross Street Bridge, which is currently used for public parking.

The town and college agree that the purpose of the venture is to develop the parcels not for the biggest return, but rather for the best value and return for the community given the high visibility of the properties in the center of downtown Middlebury. Long term viability and sustainability of any effort in this location is vital to the downtown.

The board also listened to local business, town and college representatives about an update on the work of the economic and business development initiative's working group and financing of the effort.

The board indicated that it will include an article on the warning for Town Meeting Day 2012 proposing the appropriation of one cent on the tax rate ($72,000) for the economic and business development initiative, the college announced that it will match the town's $72,000 allocation, if voted, and the business community will be asked to contribute $36,000 for the program.

The working group is in the process of preparing a one-page handout on the goals and objectives of the economic and business development effort, which will be available by the end of the year. Responses to frequently asked questions and concerns will also be prepared and published on-line. The group will present its work to date at the Jan. 17 meeting of the board and a public meeting on the proposal will be held in February.

Victor Nuovo reported on the public information meeting of Dec. 7 and the meeting of the Community Center Committee which was held earlier in the day.

Nuovo noted that the Community Center project is in the early stages of the planning process with the focus on informing the public of the condition of building and seeking input from the public possible options going forward. This committee will meet again on Jan. 24 and report to the board on its work.

The Downtown Improvement District Commission recommends three projects for coming year: after receiving public comment at its annual budget meeting, the Downtown District voted to recommend that the board authorize the use of Downtown Improvement District tax revenue to fund

the following projects: •$5,000 for wireless in the downtown, a project which Librarian David Clark is spearheading. This matches $5,000 allocated by the Town of Middlebury in its FY12 capital improvement program.

•$10,000 for a parking study focused on more efficient utilization of public parking spaces in the downtown.

•Up to $15,000 to match town funds and state grant funds to convert historic streetlights in the downtown from metal halide to LED fixtures. The state grant funds are contingent upon a successful application for funding in a very competitive program.

Dean George noted that resident Andrew Gardner made a compelling presentation to the commission about the benefits of providing safe bicycle routes through the downtown and providing amenities for bicyclists.

Dean and Public Works Director Dan Werner will meet with Gardner to discuss low-cost ways to incorporate bike friendly components into public works projects.

In other matters Dec. 13, the board continued its review of the town’s FY13 budget.

MIDDLEBURY—At a meeting Dec. 13, members of the Middlebury Select Board listened to Middlebury Teen Center Co-Director Colby Benjamin update the board about a request for continued funding for the Teen Center.

In fiscal year 2011, 294 individual teens made 3,901 visits to the teen center. Of that number, 143 teens were from Middlebury and making a total of 2,335 visits to the teen center last fiscal year. The town's draft budget proposal includes $30,000 in funding for the Teen Center in FY 13.

In other matters at the Dec. 13 Select Board meeting, Town Planner Fred Dunnington, introduced the concept of PACE, Property Assessed Clean Energy Districts.

PACE Districts, which must be authorized by Town Meeting Day vote, allow property owners to finance energy efficiency improvement projects through a program which is currently being set-up by Efficiency Vermont.

The board, while generally supportive of the concept, asked the committee to provide additional information about the administration of the loans and collections, and to check with local financial institutions about any unintended pitfalls of the program and report back with their findings.

Regarding the East Middlebury Flood Hazard Mitigation effort, Project Manager Amy Sheldon prepared and submitted an application for $15,000 from the Vermont Watershed Grant Program for river modeling and to plan and design river management strategies.

Sheldon is also working with regulatory agencies and potential funding sources to develop a strategic plan and funding for river management strategies, habitat restoration, and floodwall, flood chute and berm repairs and/or replacement.

Board members were provided an update on the Middlebury Fire Station project.

Fire Station Committee representative Peter Brakeley thanked Middlebury voters for supporting the bond for planning for the fire station projects in September.

Brakeley noted that the project remains on schedule and within budget.

Middlebury Fire Chief Rick Cole noted that the elevator, which was shown in an addition on the front of the Seymour Street Fire Station in early conceptual plans and been incorporated into the interior of the Station without sacrificing interior space and restoring the historic façade of the station.

The board noted that it is entirely supportive of this well managed project, which has the ultimate goal of maintaining a high quality department, to keep fire in-

Model A flood survivor restored to life

MIDDLEBURY—Tropical Storm Irene wreaked havoc on Vermont on Aug. 28, 2011. Buildings, roadways, and natural resources were damaged or destroyed in the wake of the storm’s brief hours of violence. Most tragic was the loss of four human lives.

While not the least bit precious when compared to the loss of a human life, Irene still produced its share of material losses, from houses and highways to private tractors and even a private airplane. So add one more thing to the matériel casualty of the Aug. 28 flooding—a classic, and highly collectible, 1930 Ford Model-A Huckster pickup truck.

The truck, lovingly stored in a residential garage by an unidentified man in Bridgewater, Vt., was covered in filthy flood water where it soaked into the upholstery, engine and wood paneling. The truck sat in high water, to a level just above the windshield, for many hours.

The Model A’s owner lost his home in the flash flooding.

One of the few possessions to emerge was his venerable pickup—but it was a total loss.

In need of funds to rebuild his house and family’s life, the owner accepted an insurance payment of $14,000 for the Model A. But, knowing it was a mess, the insurance company let the owner keep the vehicle if ever wanted to work on it. However, requiring immediate cash to make payments, the owner sold—some might even say gave away—the waterlogged truck to his Rutland-based insurance agent for $600.

Enter car guy Damon Pelkey of Brandon. Pelkey has tinkered around classic cars most of his adult life. As owner of DT Speedi Lube in Middlebury, Pelkey often graces his garage’s front lot with antique vehicles he’s working on.

“It so happens the Model A’s insurance agent is also my agent,” Pelkey said. “He knew I like to work on old vehicles.

He asked me if I could get the truck running again.”

The new owner had a flatbed truck deliver the Model A to Pelkey’s Middlebury garage. Between changing oil and tires for customers, Pelkey and his assistant worked on the Depression-era truck.

If miracles still happen in small ways, then Pelkey is a miracle worker. For in just a few weeks of hard work, the mechanic drained all of the Ford’s fluids—including brackish floodwater—cleaned the carburetor and tinkered around with the electrics to get the pickup in running order.

Drying out the engine took days, but as of last week, Pelkey got the pickup started and it’s running again. Right now, he’s taking care of a few little engine details before he turns the keys back to the owner.

In the meantime, Pelkey has other classic car projects to keep his attention in the new year. First, he is going to help his brother Herb Pelkey restore a 1958 Edsel station wagon they found for sale in Springfield, Vt. Following the Edsel project, Pelkey will assist his father, Richard Pelkey of Chittenden, to restart a 1947 Ford sedan that has sat silent for decades.

“You have to finesse old cars, like this flood-damaged Model A, to get them running again,” Pelkey said. “I like the classic cars. In fact, I own several myself—a ‘47 Ford pickup, a ‘39 Ford sedan, and a ‘66 Chevy flatbed truck. I work on them, and I like to drive them.”

Life Line screening in Middlebury Jan. 17 MIDDLEBURY—The Congregational Church of Middlebury, 2 Main St., will host a Life Line Screening session on Jan. 17.

Four key points every person needs to know: Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability 80 percent of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke.

Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke.

Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient.

Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone-density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.

All five screenings take 6090 minutes to complete.

For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-877-237-1287 or visit www.lifelinescreening.com.

Pre-registration is required.

Vermont publisher arrested Here’s to all the volunteers

“

Heave the tea overboard!” Such might have been the cry over 200 years ago when Sam Adams (the patriot, not the beer) joined fellow colonialists to protest the English Stamp Act. Adams and his compatriots threw boxes of tea into Boston Harbor as an act of civil disobedience. Immortalized as a foundation block of American democracy, the Boston Tea Party of Dec. 16, 1773 was not only a protest against what Adams and others thought was an unjust law, the protest was the intentional breaking of a law that is seen as unjust.

Move the clock ahead 238 years to Dec. 5, 2011 to the Lowell Mountains where a small group of local citizens took a stand of civil disobedience against what they consider to be an unjust application of the law. In parallel with the protesters in Boston over two centuries ago, who did not believe they should be taxed by the king, the modern-day protesters object to the Lowell Wind Project under construction on the ridge line and authorized by the state’s Public Service Board. The wind protesters do not believe the PSB make a sound decision, and they also dispute the ownership of the land where a road leads up the mountain to the construction site.

Thus, a group of six people stood in the roadway with signs reading, “Road Closed: Due To Environmental Destruction” and “Detour To Honest Energy Policy.” Their intent was to be arrested as a way to advance their cause.

They were charged with unlawful trespass and arrested, with Dec. 20 set as a court date.

A seventh person was also arrested: Chris Braithwaite, the publisher of a weekly newspaper in Barton that covers Orleans County.

Braithwaite was on site to report on the protest as part of the ongoing coverage of the wind project he has reported consistently for his newspaper.

He identified himself as a working journalist to law enforcement officers but was arrested after he stated he was there to cover the event, needed to be in proximity

to the police and the protesters and would leave after the arrests were made.

Green Mountain Power spokesperson Dorothy Schnure said the arrests for trespassing were necessary because of safety issues. Apparently, safety of the U.S. Constitution and the public’s right to know the truth were not an issue.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, “Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people to peaceably assemble...”

Yes, Green Mountain Power has the right to protect its property and to prohibit access to that property. And, no, journalists do not have any special rights not available to other citizens.

Citizens do have a right, however, to know what is done in their name. Had Braithwaite not been at the protest site, the press would not have been able to report on the behavior of protesters or the taxpaid police enforcing a public trespass notice, sanctioned by the state courts and enacted by the state Legislature. If a public act of civil disobedience cannot be seen by the public and the behavior of the parties involved cannot be seen, the public is denied knowing the truth.

Civil disobedience has a long history in this country, stretching from the time of Sam Adams, though the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s to the current protest on the Lowell Mountains. Had the press been prevented from covering the acts of civil disobedience in American history, we could still be living under English rule, women and people of color might still be denied the right to vote, people who labor could still be working unregulated, 18hour days in unsafe conditions, public accommodations might still be segregated -the list goes on. Green Mountain Power, law enforcement officers, the courts and the Vermont Legislature undermine democracy when they sanction the arrest of journalists for doing their job.

The health and safety of American democracy require that the press be allowed to report the news.

olunteering in our local community has its up and downsides.

But for those of you who spend long hours working as unpaid service volunteers—firefighters, EMTs, Civil Air Patrol search-and-rescue crews, shelter workers, Scouting and 4H leaders, school aides, after-school tutors, youth coaches, mission cooks, animal and wildlife stewards, spiritual caregivers, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, churchand fraternal-group leaders, elderly caregivers, Meals on Wheels and DAV van drivers—you understand that such selfless time spent away from family and friends can never be recaptured. But in merely scratching the surface of the many kinds of volunteers around us, we can better appreciate the vast reservoir of self sacrifice that drives so many Vermonters to community service—and it’s all done without the expectation of any kind of compensation. The work is reward enough.

Even in our so-called Era of Greed, there are far too many good-natured Americans for us to ever loose sleep over a few, high-profile bad boys and girls.

For all the greedy, financial whiz kids we read about in the newspaper, such as the likes of Bernard Madoff and Jon Corzine, the scales of what’s good about America tip favorably in the opposite di-

rection with selfless volunteers such as Benson, Vt., resident Kathy Kidder, a volunteer Civil Air Patrol member who helped save the life of a young boy last year, and Middlebury, Vt., resident Jessica Appelson, who helped lead a volunteer Midd Hurricane Relief team of students to clean up after Tropical Storm Irene.

These two women are but the tip of an iceberg of volunteer adult men, women, teens and youth in our circulation area who go about their business quietly yet leave lasting footprints.

During the late 1950s, Albert Schweitzer, perhaps the 20th century’s greatest, selfless servant, said this about the call of volunteer service: “I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”

So when friends and neighbors sacrifice precious family and personal time in order to plow it back into the community, they deserve our sincere thanks and praise.

Community service, as Schweitzer and others have lived it, is not an easy calling. Regardless of whether you are a current volunteer or have done volunteerism in the past, thank you for your service. We salute you.

‘Loose Change’ is in the money

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com

Gifted Russian pianist Rustem Hayroudinoff returns to the Middlebury College Jan. 13.

Russian pianist to perform at Middlebury College

By Liza Sacheli Lloyd MIDDLEBURY—Sensationally gifted Russian pianist Rustem Hayroudinoff returns to the Middlebury College Performing Arts Series with a public concert on Friday, Jan. 13, at 8 p.m. in the Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall.

The January program will include Bach’s Partita No. 2; Mozart’s Sonata in D major, KV 576; Liszt’s Étude d'exécution transcendante No. 10 in F minor and Grande Étude de Paganini “La Campanella” and Rachmaninoff ’s Sonata No. 1 in D minor.

Hayroudinoff last performed at Middlebury two years ago, in January 2010. His performance of works by Franck, Chopin, Shostakovich, and Rachmaninoff was widely acclaimed as a highlight of the 90th anniversary season, prompting Series Director Paul Nelson to pursue the pianist for a re-engagement.

Hayroudinoff has earned worldwide critical acclaim for his powerful, nuanced performances. Esteemed Soviet pianist Lazar Berman praised him as “a serious artist and master, whose emergence in today’s atmosphere of pseudo-artistic and shallow music-making is specially valuable and welcome.”

Hayroudinoff graduated from the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied with Lev Naumov, and received his postgraduate degree at the Royal Academy of Music in London with Christopher Elton. He has recorded for NAMI Records (Japan), Decca, and Chandos.

Hayroudinoff has performed to great critical acclaim in Japan, his native Russia, and Europe. This season will include performances of the Dvofiák piano concerto with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia; recitals in the USA, Mexico, and UK; and chamber music series with the principals of the London Philharmonic Orchestra in the U.K. and Germany.

Hayroudinoff is a professor of piano at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Residency activities associated with this performance are made possible by the Rothrock Family Fund for Experiential Learning in the Performing Arts. As part of his Middlebury visit, Hayroudinoff will work with Middlebury College composition students, performing their new works and providing feedback.

Tickets for the Jan. 13 concert are $25 for the general public; $20 for Middlebury College faculty, staff, alumni, emeriti, and other card holders; and $6 for Middlebury College students. For more information, call (802) 4436433 or see the following website: http://go.middlebury.edu/arts.

MIDDLEBURY—Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater deserves a lot of kudos from the community. This downtown stage showcase has done lots to revitalize Middlebury’s performing arts community, from live dramatic performances, comedy, song, even HD television opera broadcasts—and the list is growing.

Sure we expect the management of a downtown theater to be on the cutting edge, but THT’s newest stage performance idea is the cleverest, most positive concept we’ve come across yet— showcasing the performance skills of local teens.

And that’s why the THT’s Friday, Jan. 6, concert featuring Loose Change will mean a lot to the community; it is providing a healthy, productive venue for local young people to showcase their performing and musical skills.

It’s the first time high school-age students are being invited to become part of a serious downtown arts venue.

This writer thinks it’s a terrific idea and THT deserves a big high five.

Loose Change consists of Middlebury Union High School students Daniel Mench-Thurlow and Eben Schumacher. THT publicity says the young men became close friends when they discovered their shared passion for 1960s- and ‘70s-era rock music.

The 16-year-old musicians deep appreciation for Boomer-generation pop and rock music grows out of an inner appreciate for music heritage and the

Loose Change consists of MUHS students Daniel Mench-Thurlow and Eben Schumacher. They are the first high school students to perform at the Town Hall Theater Cabaret Friday, Jan. 6, at 7 p.m. great ones who paved the way.

When you see the pair playing songs penned by the Allman Brothers Band, Jim Morrison and the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Mic Jagger and the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, among other performers of that time, you’ll know it’s not a flashback but the real thing.

Mench-Thurlow and Schumacher shared their love of the music by first exchanging stories, then licks on their guitars. Later, when they realized they had something very cool in the offing, they got down to practicing and conceptualizing their two-man band, Loose Change.

In addition to replaying and reinterpreting the music of that vanished era of Woodstock and Kent State, the teens are also accomplished songwriters with several original songs in their growing songbook.

Now you can experience Loose Change—live—at the Town Hall Theater Cabaret Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. This coffeehouse-like venue is located on the theater ’s lower level.

Ticketsfor the concert are $10 and may be purchased by calling 802-3829222, online at www.townhalltheater.org, or at the THT Box Office or at the door, if available.

Bikes to be part of South Street project

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY —Bicyclists will be considered by the Town of Middlebury when it begins the South Street reconstruction project in 2012.

Town select board members Dean George and Dan Werner joined engineer Alan Huizenga to meet with local bike promoter Andrew Gardner last week.

The trio met to address concerns about including bike-

friendly components in the South Strete plan.

Huizenga will most likely design a single bike lane—or possibly multiple lanes—to the new South Street. However, it is unknown how much the idea would add to the project budget at this time.

George reported that underground water, sewer and drainage lines, utility poles, as well as mature trees, sidewalks, driveways and width of the road bed, must be factorered into any bike-lane concept.

SUPER SINGERS—Neshobe Elementary School fifth and sixth graders, members of the Neshobe Select Singers, performed during the annual Winter Concert Dec. 19. The talented children sang various holiday songs. They were directed by music teacher Julia R. Varian.

Community Foundation awards $85,000

By Joe Milliken

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—Two entities of the Vermont Community Foundation, the Vermont Arts Endowment Fund, and the Concert Artists Fund announced that they have joined forces to award a total of $85,000 to 26 organizations throughout Vermont.

Established in 1986 and based in Middlebury, the Community Foundation strives to grow philanthropy throughout Vermont and help make sure nonprofits have the resources to be effective. The foundation works with individuals, families and advisors throughout the state. The Board of Directors is made up of various artists, community leaders and CEOs. One such non profit is the Concert Artists Fund; it was added to the Arts Endowment Fund grant round in 1995 and is funded through the Estate of Charles Goetz to support performances of classical music throughout the state.

A total of $46,500 was recently awarded to support future performances of classical music including the Burlington Chamber Orchestra and Choral Society, the Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival, the Vermont Contemporary Music Festival in Fairfax, the Vermont Youth Orchestra, the Green Mountain Music Festival in Burlington and the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts.

Established in 1990, the Vermont Arts Endowment Fund was established through an anonymous Vermont resident, with a matching grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The fund was created for the purpose of supporting small, emerging arts groups and artists throughout the

McKibben from page 1 it any more,” said McKibben in an email interview. “Not from dictators, not from investment bankers, not from fossil fuel companies.”

McKibben was a driving force behind the late summer Washington protests, and among the first arrested.

The civil disobedience demonstration was aimed at stopping construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline in the central U.S. that would move Canadian tar sand oil to refineries in Texas, a 1,384-mile run that endangers sensitive ecological areas and will vastly expand greenhouse gas emissions, said McKibben.

“What I think is so interesting is how

state.

The foundation recently awarded $38,528 to support the creation and production of new work by various artists and arts organizations. Some of the recipients include Montpelier ’s Focus on Films, Vermont Cultural Data, Middlebury artist Kate Gridley, Brattleboro artist Stephen Procter, Burlington artist David Cooper and the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, just to name a few.

The Vermont Community Foundation also recently announced that its Special and Urgent Needs—Irene Recovery Fund awarded a total of $185,000 to 40 Vermont nonprofit organizations which were impacted by the tropical storm. As of December 15, total contributions pledged to the fund were in excess of $369,000.

“Many thanks go out for the generous outpouring of support for the fund, so we are able to grant more money to help those programs most in need, including both organizations, families and individuals,” Stuart ComstockGay said in a recent interview. Comstock-Gay is the president and CEO of the Vermont Community Foundation.

The foundation continues to accept applications from nonprofits, schools, municipal entities and relief programs. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and grant decisions awarding up to $5,000 are usually made within 14 business days of the application being submitted.

To apply for a grant, make a contribution or learn more about their many programs, visit the foundation's website (www.vermontcf.org) which was established to provide updated information including grants available and awarded.

conservative, in a sense, many of these protests are, ours included,” said McKibben.

The 51-year-old professor said many of the participants in the effort were older than him and clothed professionally, with ties and dresses.

“It reminded me a lot of the wonderful organizing many of us did years ago to block the proposed county landfill at the base of Crane Mountain,” he said, recalling Johnsburg SupervisorElect Ron Vanselow’s role in that protest.

“We just want a world something like the one we were born to,” said McKibben.

It’s been a bit of a tiring year, said McKibben, but the moral urgency of climate protest is great enough that losing time he’d have to ski, write, hike

and teach is worth the sacrifice. For their protest efforts, President Barack Obama has delayed the final decision on allowing the pipeline to be built. Because it’s an international project, the pipeline needs federal approval.

“No environmental victories are permanent,” said McKibben. “This is a temporary delay. But maybe we can buy enough time that the world will finally start getting serious about climate change.”

McKibben said he and his 350.org climate-change activism group will highlight people and places impacted by climate change, including in the Adirondacks. They also want to bring more attention to the governments subsidies paid out to fossil fuel companies, some of the world’s richest corporations.

Video from page 1 collected more than $3.8 million in charitable contributions and has been an active partner in post-Irene relief and recovery efforts, working closely with donors and other organizations to create and manage a number of Irene-related charitable funds.

“We felt that this holiday season was an appropriate time to stop and reflect on what these contributions have made possible and to express our gratitude to the many who stepped forward to help,” said Vermont Community Foundation President & CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay. “Our hope is that this short video reaches every last person who has given – and who continues to give – in one way or another.”

MONTPELIER—The Vermont Department of Labor announced Dec. 20 that the seasonally-adjusted statewide unemployment rate for November was 5.3 percent, a decrease of three-tenths of a percent from the October rate.

Compared to a year ago, the rate is lower by five-tenths of a percentage point.

The current comparable national rate is 8.6 percent which reflects a decrease of four-tenths of a percent from the previous month.

Over the past three months, Vermont’s seasonally adjusted statewide unemployment rate has declined by six-tenths of a percent.

“This is obviously good news for Vermont as one measure of our economic health. This is the third consecutive month reporting a decline in the unemployment rate,” said Labor Commissioner Annie Noonan.
