New Haven officials discuss HVDC project From News & Staff Sources NEW HAVEN Ñ On Aug, 24, members of the New Haven Select Board discussed a proposed HVDC converter station project that, if built, will forever alter the rural landscape of New Haven.

Select Board chairwoman Kathy Barrett opened the meeting by explaining to attendees that she had previously met with company officials of Bostonbased Anbaric, a high-voltage power development firm.

On May 29, AnbaricÕ s Alex MacLean and Bryan Sanderson told Barrett of a proposal for a large-scale power conversion station to be built near the VELCO substation. The men had asked Barrett to keep the information private until Anbaric was ready to go public with it.

Apparently, several Addison County elected officials knew of the plan in advance, too, but choose not disclose the information to the public.

Barrett said that she had honored the companyÕ s request for secrecy. Sanderson agreed with Barrett to keep the information from the public until the Aug. 24 public meeting.

A news story published in the Eagle Aug. 22 alerted readers of the secretive plan prior to the Aug. 24 meeting.

The meeting was held jointly by the New haven CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

UVM study: Whole foods = garbage in Vermont schools

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ You can lead kids to the cafeteria but you canÕ t make them eat healthy foods, at least thatÕ s what a new University of Vermont-led study reveals in a stark way.

With the political clock running down to a final vote in Congress on whether or not to reauthorize the U.S. Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, a program mandating wholesome school lunches, the UVM study appears to backup what public school administrators in Vermont, and around the nation, have been observing.

Despite efforts from First Lady Michelle Obama on down to legislators, school teachers and parents, students are treating their taxpayer-funded fruits and vegetables as CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Town protests renewable energy credits for Mass., Conn.

Vermont Watchdog Report

In a letter sent to the Vermont Public Service Board last week, the five members of the Strafford Select Board wrote they will not let Wolfe Energy and Brightfields Development install solar at the site if the renewable energy credits associated with the power are sold out of state.

MONTPELIER Ñ The Vermont town of Strafford has changed its tune on approving a 4.9 megawatt solar array at the Elizabeth Mine, saying approval of the project is now contingent on Vermont Ñ not other states Ñ getting recognition for reducing its carbon footprint.

In a letter sent to the Vermont Public Service Board last week, the five members of the Select Board wrote they will not let Wolfe Energy and Brightfields Development install solar at the site if the renewable energy credits associated with the power are sold out of state. Ò The Strafford Select Board, which approved an initial letter of support for the project in part based on the understanding that the project would go to meeting VermontÕ s renewable energy needs, cannot continue our support of the project unless 100% of the renewable energy credits go to the state of Vermont by 2017,Ó the letter states. Ò We want the impact of the project to help save valuable Vermont farm and forest lands and not, as currently planned, to go overwhelmingly to meeting renewable energy requirements in other states.Ó The reversal comes after the selectmen learned Green Mountain Power, the expected purchaser of the solar power, plans to retire relatively few of the siteÕ s associated CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Weybridge 4-Her wins state dairy championship

WEYBRIDGE Ñ Aug. 10 was an awesome day for Alexis Ouellette of Weybridge who won the Senior Fitting and Showing Championship at the annual 4-H State Dairy Show. Isabel Hall of East Montpelier was named Junior Fitting and Showing Champion.

The two 4-HÕ ers were among the 93 participants in this yearÕ s show, sponsored by University of Vermont (UVM) Extension 4-H at the Franklin County Fair and Field Days grounds. The competitors, ages 11 to 18, qualified for the show through their 4-H dairy project records, interviews and participation in a local 4-H dairy show and community service activities.

Thirty of the showÕ s best exhibitors will compete in September at the New England regional 4-H dairy show at Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts. They were selected from among the winners in fitting and showmanship, based on exhibitorÕ s age, and conformation, arranged by breed and age of the animal.

The 4-Hers who earned breed championships in the latter competition were: AYRSHIRE--Junior Champion and Grand Champion: Aislynn Farr, Richmond, with her fall calf.

BROWN SWISS--Senior Champion and Grand Champion: Shelby Biasini, Morrisville, with her two-year-old cow. Junior Champion: Keenan Thygesen, Tunbridge, with his winter calf.

GUERNSEY--Junior Champion and Grand Champion: Logan Trombley, Florence, with his summer yearling.

HOLSTEIN--Junior Champion and Grand Champion: Maggie Kirby, East Montpelier, with her fall calf.

JERSEY--Senior Champion and Grand Champion: Cassie Westcom, Enosburg Falls, with her three-year-old cow; Junior Champion: Alexis Ouelette, Weybridge, with her summer yearling.

MILKING SHORTHORN-Junior Champion and Grand Champion: Kassie Niklasson, Mount Holly, with her summer yearling.

The Ed Gould Award was presented to Pat and Sara Kirby of East Montpelier. This award goes to an adult or adults who provide outstanding leadership and support to the Vermont 4-H dairy program, much as Gould did.

Fairmont Farms of East Montpelier received the Friend of 4-H award that is given to a business that has shown strong support for 4-H programs over the years.

The recipient of the John Knapp Award was Lily Vaughan of Thetford. The award is presented to the 4-HÕ er who achieves the highest score at the Vermont 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl Contest in March. The late John Knapp coached the state quiz bowl team for many years.

The 4-HÕ ers participated in a clipping competition and grilled cheese contest on the day prior to the show. They also attended a pig roast hosted by Franklin County 4-H and local businesses.

The winner of the clipping competition, which featured three-member teams, was Orange County Dairy. Team members were Seth and Tim Carson of Newbury and Keenan Thygesen, Tunbridge.

The grilled cheese contest tested contestants both on their culinary skills as well as their food safety knowledge. The 4-HÕ ers competed as teams with Jake Senecal of Bradford and Levi and Lily Vaughan of Thetford winning the competition.

Opinion Downtown shadows From the Editor

P

lease donÕ t call this Monday morning quarterbacking since my comments had been voiced in an editorialÑ about building the new Middlebury municipal building in the now jam-packed downtown corridorÑ more than a year ago.

No matter, key community leaders in Middlebury were hellbent on jettisoning the long-time, albeit mildewed municipal buildingÑ even while its physical neglect over the years was never properly explainedÑ to set up new digs right on top of the downtown traffic rotary.

Be that as it may, hereÕ s where we are in the late summer of 2015: ItÕ s obvious now. The new town hall building dwarfs MiddleburyÕ s beautiful, historic public library. And thatÕ s a shame.

I am sorry to say it, but this new building creates visual clutter that just a few thought seriously about more than a year ago, But then, again, we must be proud of our shiny new pantheon to local governmentÑ a government which delivers what weÕ ve all come to expect: high property taxes and few services for those with a 05753 zip code.

In 2014, several vocal residentsÑ and at least one Middlebury Select Board memberÑ raised concerns; they had suggested other, more creative siting suggestions for this new public building. No matter, the oppositionÕ s concerns and ideas were rejected by voters. So be it.

Yet big decisions have big consequences.

Now, weÕ re getting a better sense of what the loss of downtown parking spaces means for library patrons, restaurant/tavern goers, and shoppers. All this on the heels of a decades-long decline in retail outlets that were once enjoyed by MiddleburyÕ s low- and modest-income residentsÑ Lazarus and Abrahams department stores are long gone; so, too, Farrell’s Mens Shop, even Calvi’s Ice Cream Parlor with its delicious, homemade David Foster ice cream, and nifty, out-of-town newspaper and magazine rack. (Even Ames Ò Bargains by the BagfulÓ Department Store is missed, although it stood a few miles south of downtown, where Hannaford Supermarket is today.)

And, whereÕ s a downhill skier to buy skis in Middlebury today?

It’s probably inevitable that a parking fix of some sort will have to be considered. A parking deck? Where? My

VoiceYourOpinion

guess is that the majority of MiddleburyÕ s residents who vote wonÕ t have the appetite for approving such a thing.

When it’s not easy to find a parking space, shoppers tend to go elsewhere.

More than a year ago, I asked this question in my editorial: Must a town hall always be in the downtownÕ s commercial area?

Personally, I donÕ t consider government to be either the heart or brains of a community. But I do consider local commerce, cultural, entertainment, sports, and other community venues, as far more important players in the soul of a place.

As a resident and voter here for nearly 30 years, I still ask myself why Middlebury has such an aversion to flapping its wings, even just a little? Must everything be shorehorned into one little downtown area?

Do tourists make a town’s municipal office a “must seeÓ destination when they visit downtown? And regarding local residentsÑ who spends that much time going to town hall unless youÕ re a bureaucrat?

Sure, there are civic functions many of us do in a town hall: such as voting, attending public meetings, paying tax bills in person (if need be), but thatÕ s really about it Ñ weÕ re not talking about a town hall being a high traffic locale.

With MiddleburyÕ s placement of the new municipal office building on Main Street, we have lost a potential commercial space through which the town could have collected revenues.

So, should we really have shoehorned this multi-story structure on what was the former Osborne House site? I suppose itÕ s a moot point now thatÕ s Monday morning.

But even before the building opens, I canÕ t help but think that the downtownis a little more diminished by the placement of this new public building, smack up against the Ilsley Public Library.

Walking along MiddleburyÕ s Main Street, I observed the striking, deep shadows cast by the new structure on a sunny day. But I know itÕ s unrealistic for architects to provide 12-hour shade maps for the multi-story buildings that they erect.

No, itÕ s too late now. The horse is out of the barn.

Enjoy the view.

Publisher’s Column

Behaving badly L

ast week early morning TV viewers in Virginia were shocked when a disgruntled former WDBL station employee killed a young reporter and the cameraman filming her interview.

We learned the shooter was Vester Flanagan, who professionally went by the name Bryce Williams. He was described as someone who was difficult to work with, easily offended and sometimes Dan Alexander feared. Prior to the shooting, Flanagan Thoughts from had previous employment issues that, at Behind the Pressline one time, would have been made known to the management at WDBJ. Flanagan sent a 20 page manifesto to ABC News. In it he writes; “Yes, it will sound like I am angry...I am. And I have every right to be.Ó He went on to say…. “The [Charleston] church shooting was the tipping point…but my anger has been building steadily...IÕ ve been a human powder keg for a whileÉ just waiting to go BOOM!!!!Ó Nothing in Flanagan’s background disqualified him from buying the gun he used to commit this crime. As for his mental health, the standard in federal law is very high: Ò adjudicated as a mental defectiveÓ or Ò committed to a mental institution.Ó Nothing in FlanaganÕ s history indicates that either standard fit him, but it appears many others were aware of his reputation as an unstable person.

So many of these senseless shootings end up being committed by unstable individuals that others knew, but that common knowledge is unable to be put into the public domain for fear of legal retribution. In 2013 there was a total of 404 workplace homicides according the US Labor Bureau of Statistics. Colleagues and former coworkers were responsible for 74 of those 404 deaths.

During my 40+ year business career, IÕ ve personally witnessed a number of dismissals that have gone very badly. Some of those materialized in childish acts of damage or just plain bad behavior. Thankfully, none ever resulted in an injury or death, although there were times when we called law enforcement.

Employers are frequently warned by human resource legal specialists that no good deed goes unpunished. In todayÕ s workplace one of the most damaging things a well meaning employer can do is to provide employment information to another employer. Even something as simple as a letter of positive recommendation can come back to haunt the employer. We are advised to say nothing except confirm the person’s employment dates.

While IÕ m not advocating for trampling on anyoneÕ s personal rights there must be some form of clearing house that can be developed where private records can be compiled and maintained, if for nothing more than further screening should someone amass numerous red flags from multiple independent sources.

We must find a solutions to help unstable individuals get the counseling they need and prevent them from obtaining lethal weapons.

Charlotte PTO prepares for a new year

By Gail Callahan

CHARLOTTE — With a new lead administrator at the helm of Charlotte Central School, a group dedicated to aiding students and supporting educational programs and teachers is eager to put their talents to work, demonstrating that the school is a resource for everyone in the community.

To that end, the members steering the PTO are already working on events, such as a book fair, a Ò Welcome Back to School NightÓ , and a fall potluck.

Barbara Anne Komons-Montroll, who started at the schoolÕ s new principal July 1, has been speaking to parents about the value of community outreach, enhancing communication between educators and families.

The schoolÕ s PTO is guided by four women, co-presidents Chea Waters Evans and Marcie Fox, returning Treasurer Carol Blanshine, and newcomer Audrey Ziter, who is the new secretary.

Ziter, who has two children enrolled at the school, said that her work with the PTO brings rewards; she hopes other parents and family members will consider volunteering in some capacity. Ò We hope people will come out and contribute, even if itÕ s an hour... it’s needed and appreciated,” Ziter said. She and her family moved to Charlotte two years.

Ziter noted that she was active in the Renaissance School’s PTO, when her children were enrolled there.

Snelling playground improvements move ahead

By Gail Callahan RUTLAND Ð The U.S. Forest Service announced today the release of a forestwide Comprehensive Trail Strategy (CTS) which provides guidance and suggestions for the sustainable management of nonmotorized and motorized trails on the Green Mountain National Forest (GMNF) in Vermont.

Officials say that they are committed to working to balance the needs of trail users in the GMNF with the agencyÕ s responsibility to sustain a productive, diverse, and healthy forest. As a part of this commitment, the Forest Service has been working to address concerns about the future sustainability of the trail system through thoughtful evaluation of trail networks.

The recently released CTS helps to identify trail management issues, reviews suggested future trail management actions and processes that can be used to resolve or address future trail concerns.

Through in-depth analysis and public collaboration, Forest Service employees have verified and mapped approximately 936 miles of trail and worked to correct map discrepancies to match what is actually found on the ground. Six open house meetings were held where the public was asked to provide information on topics such as: under-represented trail uses, over-represented trail uses, and alternative suggestions for future trail actions. In addition, the public was asked to identify and offer specific ideas for enhancing the GMNF trail system as a whole. Ò Our Recreation and Trails staffs along with numerous partners and members of the public have worked really hard to complete this project,Ó said Donna Grosz, Public Services Staff Officer. “These folks should be commended for their efforts Ð this process has produced an impres-

sive document that offers a great deal of meaningful and useable information,Ó concluded Grosz.

The CTS will help the agency find ways to best utilize its resources and balance many competing recreation needs. While the document is not a formal decision, it is

intended to provide guidance and recommendations to Forest Service staff as they plan for future trail management.

The strategy was released on Aug. 3, to approximately 700 interested parties including partners, volunteers, and nonprofit organizations.

Guest Viewpoint

In age of Uber, “right to work” makes more sense than ever

V

ermont is a tougher than average place to make a living. No secret there. One of the first questions you get from folks you meet is, Ò You live here full time? How do you make it work?Ó Some of the answers are necessarily creative.

Vermont is a great place to live, but it comes with sacrifices.

There are fewer career paths, a lack of high paying jobs overall, and lower pay here for doing the same job in another state. So, lots of people telecommute. Many work multiple jobs. Some rent out their homes over the holidays to generate extra income (or, more likely, to pay their exorbitantly high property taxes).

According to an analysis by the Small Business Administration, in 2011 small businesses represented 96.3% of all employers in Vermont, and of them 76.3% had no employees (other than the owner). We have a lot of entrepreneurial people working for themselves.

Given these characteristics embodied by our citizens and our employment environment, state law should do more to reflect, accommodate, and build on the dynamic aspects of this reality.

How can we make it easier for the person who is a sole proprietor of a landscaping business, doing odd jobs on the side through TaskRabbit, and renting out a spare room through Airbnb in order to get ahead?

One way is for Vermont to make it easier for individuals to classify themselves as independent contractors. Right now it is difficult, as the state prefers to pigeonhole someone as an employee who work for an employer. This makes it easier for bureaucrats to enforce mandates like employer-provided health insurance and workers’ compensation, but this no longer reflects the reality of how people live, either as workers and consumers.

This was (and is) a big issue with Uber in Burlington. Uber drivers consider themselves to be independent contractors, and, as such, have a great deal of flexibility as far as work hours and schedules. They drive when they want to drive, and donÕ t when they donÕ t. Uber contends that they do not employ these drivers, but merely provide a service platform that allows the sharing of information between customers and drivers. The city, however, would rather the drivers be considered employees of Uber -- as would UberÕ s competitors, who are stuck dealing with the city and its old-economy, costly mandates.

The solution, of course, is to unburden the traditional taxi service model, not saddle the new, innovated, effective and highly popular sharing platform.

Another way is for Vermont to join the twenty-five other Ò Right to WorkÓ states. Passing a Right to Work law would guarantee that no Vermonter could be compelled, as a condition of employment, to join or not to join, nor to pay dues to a labor union. Now, Vermonters who choose not to join a union can be compelled to pay 85% of union dues as a so-called Ò agency fee.Ó This is an incredibly unfair policy. Unions argue that nonunion workers still benefit from the collective bargaining rights of the union and legal representation under certain circumstances, calling them derisively Ò free riders.Ó The fair solution would be to make workers who choose not to join the union responsible

for negotiating their own wages and benefits separately from the union, and to release the union from any obligations it currently has in regard to non-unionized employees.

In addition to common sense justice of Right to Work laws, the overall outcomes in states that have them are compelling: faster economic growth, more jobs, a growing working population, and greater purchasing power per dollar.

The way the economy functions is changing, and with it the way we live our lives, both as workers and as consumers. The new sharing economy, driven by dynamic and innovative companies like Uber, TaskRabbit, Airbnb and many others offers compelling opportunities for hardworking people, or folks with assets that are otherwise not being efficiently utilized.

Vermont is in a unique position to take advantage of this information technology revolution for a couple of reasons. One is that we should. The idea of a Ò sharingÓ economy that more efficiently uses resources is one that fits neatly with Vermont’s small, tightly-knit communities and culture. The other is that we must. In a state where jobs are hard to come by, incomes are lower, and costs of living high, we owe it to ourselves to open as many doors to opportunity as possible and to remove as many barriers to employment and entrepreneurialism as possible.

Rutland issues Fill the Cupboard Challenge

RUTLAND — Aiming to fill the Rutland Community Cupboard with everything from tuna and pasta to cereal and peanut butter, Green Mountain Power today announced a 21,000-item goal for the 2015 GMP Fill the Cupboard Challenge.

Businesses, clubs, schools, sports teams, churches and other organizations are encouraged to register for the challenge, then collect food donations and deliver them to the Rutland Community Cupboard between Sept. 7 and Sept. 30.

GMP will donate 25 cents to the Community Cupboard for every item collected, up to a total of $5,000. The company will also donate $500 in the name of the group that collects the most food.

Participants should pre-register for the challenge by calling Bonnie OÕ Rourke at GMP at 747-6883 or Kelly Giancola at the Cupboard at 747-6119.

“The Cupboard Challenge has brought hundreds of people together over the years for the benefit of thousands of others,” said GMP Vice President Steve Costello, who has helped organize the event for more than a decade. Ò We encourage businesses, clubs, sports teams, coworkers, families and schools to use the event to build bonds within their group while supporting families and seniors in need.Ó By year-end, the Rutland Community Cupboard is expected to have distributed more than 270,000 items to local residents, serving hun-

dreds of families each month. For Giancola, who is taking over the Cupboard’s management from the retiring Sue Bassett, events like this make her position much more than just a job. Ò Like any community, we have challenges, but more than any place I know, the greater Rutland community seems to work together when the chips are down,Ó she said.

Route 22A involved car, tractor-trailer rig ADDISON Ñ Vermont State Police from the New Haven Barracks, with assistance from the Addison County Sheriff’s Department, investigated a crash involving a tractor-trailer rig and a car on Route 22A in Addison last month.

The official investigation determined the rig was northbound on Route 22A approaching the intersection with Townline Road.

A Ford Mercury Mariner SUV, driven by Christopher Kiely, 39, of Panton, was traveling eastbound on Townline Road and pulled onto Route 22A into the path of travel of the truck rig. The tractor-trailer unit, driven by Gheorghe Sera, 48, of Sanford, N.Y., impacted with the SUV, causing the Mariner to roll over.

A passenger in Kiely’s SUV, Tinder Kiely, 16, was taken to Porter Hospital with abdominal pain.

The Vermont State Police at New Haven is continuing to investigate the crash and anyone with information is asked to contact police at 802-388-4919, or submit an anonymous tip texting “CRIMES” (274637) with keyword VTIPS or online at vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.

renewable energy certificates in Vermont. Ò ItÕ s likely somewhere around 10 or 20 percent,Ó Dorothy Schnure, spokesperson for Green Mountain Power, told Vermont Watchdog.

While Green Mountain Power has yet to contract for the solar power, Schnure said the company expected to sell up to 90 percent of the renewable energy certificates to Massachusetts and Connecticut. Those states, upon purchasing the RECs, obtain the rightful claimÑ on a bookkeeping basisÑ to have reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

John Freitag, chair of the Strafford Select Board, said leaders found out about the RECs in recent weeks, long after the town’s public information meeting, and after the Board wrote a July 8 letter supporting Wolfe Energy and Brightfields Development, the companies engaged in a joint venture to develop the Elizabeth Mine site. Ò When you look at how this was presented by the developers of the Elizabeth Mine project, the clear impression was this was going to meet VermontÕ s renewable energy needs, Freitag said. Ò There needs to be a little more honest conversation about this and about weighing the pros and cons. You canÕ t say Green Mountain Power is lowering the rates and weÕ re a renewable energy leader if the reason weÕ re lowering the rate is because weÕ re selling everything out of state.Ó

www.addision-eagle.com In Vermont, selling RECs out of state generates more than $50 million annually for utility companies. Schnure says Green Mountain Power plans to retire enough RECs to meet Vermont goals but sell the rest to help lower VermontersÕ energy bills.

On all the various renewable energy projects that we either own or purchase, we will retire RECs that we need to retire to meet the new state law,” Schnure said. “For any RECs associated with the projects that are in addition to that, then we would sell them, and every penny of a sold REC goes to lower costs for our customers.Ó Selling RECs enables Vermont to increase the amount of renewable generation it produces in a cost-effective way. Under the newly passed Act 56, a full 55 percent of a utility’s energy sales must come from renewables starting in 2017. That percentage ratchets up every year until 2032, when utilities must have 75 percent renewable energy in their portfolios.

Kevin B. Jones, professor of Energy Technology and Policy at Vermont Law School, applauded Strafford for raising the issue. Ò I commend the Strafford Select Board for taking leadership on this. Vermont has historically had the most fundamentally flawed renewable energy laws in the country because they set renewable energy goals but then encouraged the utilities to sell the renewable energy credits out of state,Ó Jones said. Ò (This year), the Legislature set a goal that utilities have to meet and actually retire the RECs for it. Before, they were meeting the goal by selling the RECs, which was facilitating false green claims and no environmental benefit. The Legislature has

The Vermont Eagle • September 5, 2015 | 9 changed the law going forward, and for a renewable energy standard the RECs need to be retired in the future.”

Jones said if well-sited projects like the Elizabeth Mine donÕ t get counted toward VermontÕ s goals, renewable energy developers will be forced to develop additional solar and wind projects on less appropriate areas, such as prime ag lands and forests, causing irreparable harm to wildlife.

Asked what happens to a stateÕ s environmental claims when RECs are sold out of state, Jones said, “You can’t say it’s renewable energy for Vermonters. It will result in increasing our carbon emissions rather than reducing them, because of the proper greenhouse gas accounting for it. And we will have to then develop another five megawatts someplace else in the future to meet the Vermont requirement.Ó Freitag said that outcome is not what the Selectboard had in mind when members gave initial support for the project. Ò VermontÕ s not an easy place to live, and itÕ s not a cheap place to live. The reason why we live here is because of the beauty and uniqueness of our state. É Our feeling was, we donÕ t want to sell off that beauty of our landscape and the uniqueness of our place for the benefit of Massachusetts and Connecticut, who choose not to build their own renewable energy projects,Ó he said. Ò I donÕ t think most Vermonters would want to have our landscape covered with these things for the benefit of other states, even if this saves us a few dollars.Ó Ñ Story by Vermont WatchdogÕ s Bruce Parker, Eagle photograph by Lou Varricchio.

garbage.

In fact, since the kidsÕ healthy lunch program was instituted in 2010, Vermont studentsÑ and far beyondÑ are eating even less of the good stuff.

UVMÕ s Ò kids versus the veggiesÓ study was published in an online edition of Public Health Reports last week. The study uses photographs showing kids caught in the act of tossing out wholesome foods and produce.

According to a UVM news statement, Ò After passage of the 2010 legislation and the USDA mandates it put in place 2012, the study found that students put more fruits and vegetables on their trays, as required, but consumed fewer of them and increased waste by approximately 56 percent.”

WhatÕ s behind the wasteful ways of students that are costing taxpayers? Ò The basic question we wanted to explore wasÑ does requiring a child to select a fruit or vegetable actually correspond with consumption,Ó said Sarah Amin, Ph.D., a researcher in nutrition and food sciences at the University of Vermont. She is the lead author of the study. Ò The answer,Ó according to Amin, Ò was clearly Ô no.Õ It was heartbreaking to see so many students toss fruits like apples into the trash right after exiting the lunch line.Ó Amin said her teamÑ consisting of Bethany Yon, Rachel Johnson, Robert L. Bickford Jr., Jennifer Taylor, and photographer Sally McCay—used digital photography which produced fast, accurate data for the study.

The UVM team collected data on nearly 500 cafeteria trays which included nearly a dozen visits to two, unidentified elementary schools in the northeast prior to the federal healthy food

www.addison-eagle.com guidelines and nearly twice as many following 2012.

According to the study, “40 to 60 percent of the students at the schools qualified for free or reduced lunch, a marker for low socioeconomic status.Ó Since 2012, the study team uncovered the fact that children would rather eat processed fruits and vegetablesÑ such as the tomato paste on pizza or 100 percent fruit juiceÑ than consume so-called whole food.

After studying the data, Amin and colleagues offered a few suggestions to counter the bad trendsÑ in their own words: •Cutting up vegetables and serving them with dip or mixing them in with other parts of the meal •Slicing fruits like oranges or apples, rather than serving them whole.

•Adopting promising strategies targeting school settings such as Farm-to-School programs and school gardens, which can encourage fruit and vegetable consumption in addition to what the cafeteria is providing.

•Putting public health programs in place that encourage fruit and vegetable consumption in the home, which could carry over to school.

In Vermont, there were mixed reactions from school food service professionals regarding the UVM study. Clearly, this school sector has professional and political turf to protect in light of the study’s findings.

Erika Dolan, president of the School Nutrition Association of Vermont, said that Ò new nutrition rules have encouraged Vermont schools to add more variety to school meals, and strengthen school food service staff cooking and customer service skills.Ó Dolan claimed that Vermont schools lead the nation in implementing best practices in school meals.

Anore Horton, nutrition initiatives director at Hunger Free Vermont, also reacted to the study.

Both women said that the study was small in scope

Published by New Market Press, Inc. Ò Vermont schools are making the (federal) regulations work and increasing school meal participation through a variety of strategies. While there was some initial increase in plate waste as schools made adjustments to the new rules in the first year, they have since mostly leveled off,Ó Horton said.

Marissa Parisi, executive director of Hunger Free Vermont, bristled after reading the UVM report. Ò IÕ ve heard from many state and national school nutrition partners since the release of the UVM study who strongly disagree with these findings. We do not feel the University of Vermont study gives an accurate portrayal of whatÕ s happening in todayÕ s school meal programs.Ó Regardless, AminÕ s study indicated that much more was needed in the cafeteria, the classroom, and even at home. Ò An important message is that guidelines need to be supplemented with other strategies to enrich fruit and vegetable consumption. We canÕ t give up hope yet,Ó Amin said.

Jamie Aube tallies first win at Devil’s Bowl

By Justin St. Louis

WEST HAVEN Ñ Vince Quenneville Jr. is keeping things interesting at DevilÕ s Bowl Speedway. The veteran stock car driver sailed to his third victory of the season last week and tightened an already-close championship battle.

Other winners at the event included Jamie Aube, Scott FitzGerald, and Chuck Bradford.

Quenneville’s win came in the Modified division of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.

Codie Aubin of Plattsburgh, N.Y., looked the part of a first-time winner by leading the caution-free 30-lap race by a substantial margin, but Brandon racer Quenneville reeled him and completed the pass for the lead with eight laps remaining.

Aubin held on for the runner-up finish, the best result of his career at DevilÕ s Bowl. Ron Proctor of Charlton, N.Y., finished third in spite of mid-race contact between his car and QuennevilleÕ s.

Dave Snow matched his career-best finish in fourth place, while Greg Atkins finished fifth.

Proctor and Quenneville entered the event separated by just four points atop the championship standings; Proctor extended his narrow lead through qualifying to six points, but Quenneville chopped the gap down to just two points (655-653) unofficially – the difference of a single on-track position in a feature race.

North Ferrisburgh native Jamie Aube ended a winless skid exactly one week shy of its 22nd anniversary with his first Devil’s Bowl victory in the 30-lap Late Model feature.

The three-time NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (formerly Busch North Series) champion sparred with Seth Bridge for the first half of the race, with the pair often trading the lead two or more times per lap. Aube officially took the lead over at lap 12 and was out front for the balance of the race. His most recent victory had been in a Busch North race on Aug. 28, 1993 at the former Riverside Park Speedway in Agawam, MA. Seventeen year-old Walter J. Hammond of Canaan, N.H., turned an unlucky season around with a strong runner-up finish. Todd Stone of Middlebury held off a charging Robert Bryant Jr. for the final podium spot. Bryant took fourth and unofficially trimmed Josh MastersonÕ s championship lead to 33 points (507-474); Bobby Therrien finished fifth in the race.

Scott FitzGerald was a happy winner in the 15-lap Brileya’s Chrysler-Jeep Renegade feature.

Like Aube, the West Rutland racer ended a long drought with his first win on asphalt; his last victory came on the former dirt half-mile at DevilÕ s Bowl in 1994.

FitzGerald led every step of the way; Robert Gordon and Don Franklin, each of Milton completed the podium finishers.

Chuck Bradford of Addison made it three consecutive wins in the Mini Stock division by taking the 15-lap feature race.

Bradford passed early leader Kyle Sorensen to take command at lap 7, then held Sorensen off in the final laps for the win. Ballston Spa, N.Y., racer Sorensen established a

career-high mark with the runner-up finish.

Point leader Chris LaVair of Gabriels, NY finished third.

Quenneville, Aube, FitzGerald, and Bradford were each presented with special slate trophies cut in the shape of the State of Vermont, courtesy of BrownÕ s Quarried Slate. A group of young race fans also presented their favorite drivers with tasty treats at intermission for the Thomas Dairy Kids Club “Bake a Cake” event.

DevilÕ s Bowl Speedway is back in action Aug. 28 with the annual Ò Double Stack NightÓ presented by Sugar & Spice Restaurant and Jones’ Donuts.

All four weekly NASCAR divisions will run double features, and the event also hosts the fourth annual Great North American Pancake Eating Championship at intermission.

HVDC project From page 1

Select Board and Planning Commission to discuss the proposed transmission line running from upstate New York to the converter station planned for New Haven.

Meeting attendees learned that Anbaric would like to transmit powerÑ generated by wind turbines located in the Adirondack region—via a D.C. transmission line under Lake Champlain to Ferrisburgh, via Waltham, then down U.S. Route 7 to New Haven.

Anbaric’s presentation on Aug. 24 confirmed the Eagle’s Aug. 22 front-page story; it revealed that the VELCO substation in New Haven offers the closest power station to convert the D.C. line to A.C. A.C. power converted in New Haven would then be sold to Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, some of the power would benefit Vermont as well, according to Anbaric.

The proposed Anbaric line would run a total of 40 miles, six miles in New York, and 14 miles in Vermont. The power cable would be installed in the public ROW. There are two converter stations on either end of the cable in New York and Vermont.

The large substation, located in New Haven would be about 4-5 acres in size with a constant noise emitted by the hardware. It is planned to be located northwest of the VELCO substation.

Officials said that the noise could be controlled by installing ground berms and trees for screening. Decibel levels for the substation were not publicized.

The building itself could be as large as 4-5 stories in height.

Similar substation structures can easily be up to 300-feet or more in length.

Anbaric officials hope that if the public supports the plan, they could begin construction in 2017-18 and be up and running by 2019-20.

Installation of the power cable is planned along road ways; a trench is dug, approximately 4-feet deep by 4-feet wide; a plastic pipe is installed and covered with cement to act as weather protection and insulation. In turn, the D.C. line is threaded through the pipe. A fiber optic line is laid alongside the power cable. The package is finally covered with dirt and the roadside is restored to its original state.

Installation under Lake Champlain is more complicated and includes more of an environmental impact: A jet plow is used to bury the cable, the jet plow moves the sediment to allow the cable to rest at the bottom; the sediment eventually resettles to cover the cable. If construction crews have to go deeper than 100 feet, they wouldnÕ t use a jet plow, instead the cable is laid at the lake bottom in the traditional cable-laying fashion.

Anbaric said that the project could amount to a $300Ð 350 million local investment, but not adding more than 15 temporary jobs.

The projectÕ s sales and use tax to the state could total $14 million.

Anbaric officials said that they are proposing a 400 MW power cable at this time, but it will likely be upsized for expansion to 800 MW in the future. If that occurs, then the size of the New haven substation will double in size.

Another VELCO substation is located in West Rutland, along Route 3, south of Proctor; however, the New Haven site works best for Anbaric since it is forbidden to run a high-voltage power cable through the Adirondack State Park.

Anbaric’s attorney for the permitting process is Leslie Cadwell; the companyÕ s legal team for the real estate purchase is Langrock, Sperry & Wool of Middlebury.

Raider Football looking forward to another successful season The Rutland Raiders may have only managed a 5-4 season last year, earning the seventh spot overall for the stateÕ s high school football rankings, but the team isnÕ t letting that hold them back this season.

The team, led by longtime Head Coach Mike Norman, showed up to win midseason with a four-game winning streak - including an overtime victory at Essex. Three of the losses came from defending state champion Middlebury, Colchester, and St. Johnsbury Academy.

Senior Andy Kenosh had an impressive 2014 season, and you can expect him to keep that momentum this season. The Raiders graduated other valuable players including Cam Slade and Jordan Godrey.

Home games are played at Alumni Field in Rutland.

Raider Field Hockey coming off strong season Despite losing in the D-I semifinals 3-1 against Champlain Valley Union, the Raiders Field Hockey team knows thereÕ s nowhere to go but up from last season. The team completed last season 7-5-1.

You can expect the same unrelenting precision in their passing and other offensive strategies this season, which helped them greatly on the road last season.

The team is coached by April Cioffi, and home games are played at Alumni Field.

Tiger Football plays for three-peat The best of 2013 remained the best of 2014, and you certainly canÕ t count them out to be the best of 2015.

The Tigers, under Head Coach Dennis Smith, halted St. JohnsburyÕ s quest for a state championship, going undefeated for a second straight season and winning the D-I state championship 28-7.

You can expect the same tenacity and strategic planning from the Tigers that earned them those back-to-back state championships.

The team had a similar high-scoring championship game in 2013, defeating South Burlington 26-6. The Tigers open their tough season at home on Aug. 28 against Mount Anthony. From there, they face competitors including Colchester and South Burlington.

Middlebury Field Hockey continues to rebound 2013 was a rough year for Middlebury’s field hockey team, but 2014 was undeniably better, and 2015 is already looking promising, with a talented group of veteran players taking the field.

Last season, the TigerÕ s matched 2013Õ s win total by September, and had tripled 2012Õ s by that time as well. The team went 7-4-2 on the season, earning their way to the state championship quarterfinals. Also contributing the newfound success is another year of coaching for leader Megan Sears.

Sears will lead the six seniors on the team, after graduating four seniors this past spring.

The Tigers open their season Sept. 2 in an away game against Mount Mansfield.

Vergennes/Mt. Abe Football prepares for another season Now in its sixth year, the Mt. Abraham/Vergennes co-op team is looking forward to the upcoming season, but will be going at it without longtime coach Ernie Senecal.

After 15 years with the Mt. Abe Football program, Senecal resigned in October. The school found a familiar face to lead the program in Lee Hodsden. A member of the coaching staff since 2010, Hodsden was promoted as head coach in April.

The team defeated Mill River 20-15 in the D-III playdowns, only to be upset by 2014 state champions BFA-Fairfax. The team went 5-5 overall.

The co-operative team can expect to face some tougher opponents, as they move from D-III to D-II this fall.

Women’s Soccer coming off D-II victory Last season was everything the Eagles womenÕ s soccer team could have wanted and more. They go into the 2015 season as defending D-II state champions for the first time in program history.

The Eagles, under head coach Dustin Corrigan, went 14-4 on the season. The team will look to defend their title, facing tough competition including Middlebury, Vergennes, and Champlain Valley Union.

They open their season at home on Sept. 2 against Champlain Valley.

Williams was named Vermont Football Coach of the Year in April after he led the Bullets to their first D-III championship.

Williams is replacing former head coach Jim Provost, who retired following the 2014 season.

The team opens their season away at Rutland on Aug. 28.

Women’s Soccer looks for fifth consecutive D-I state title CVU’s women’s soccer team has four consecutive state championship banners hanging in their gym, and theyÕ re looking to add a fifth in 2015.

The team, under Head Coach Stan Williams, had an undefeated 2014 season, going 18-0 overall, and was the second consecutive undefeated season for the team.

CVU will likely have little trouble facing opponents including Burr & Burton, Colchester, Rice and more. The Redhawks open their season at Mt. Abraham Sept. 2.

Otters Football looking for comeback Otter Valley is looking forward to keeping their winning ways of 2014, despite a 42-30 loss against BFA-Fairfax in the D-III state championship game.

The Otters – under Head Coach Jim Hill – put up more than 40 points in each game last season, with the exception of the state championship game and ending the season 8-2 overall.

Expect Otter ValleyÕ s high-powered offense to show up to win again, including senior running back Carson Leary, who accumulated more than 16,00 yards rushing and 30 touchdowns leading up to the championship match.

Men’s soccer builds community, love of game Otter Valley was no match for No. 2 seeded U-32 High School (12-1), who defeated the 2-10-2 Otters in the playdowns. This year, longtime Head Coach Muffie Harvey is looking to change that.

While being a young team may have been a disadvantage last year, it will likely help the Otters this season, as the team only graduated two seniors last spring.

The team opens their season Sept. 1 at home against Woodstock.

Otters Field Hockey moving forward with successful season Otter Valley couldn’t contain U-32 in the D-II semifinals last year, but managed to hold an impressive 12-3 mark on the season.

The team is looking to keep that momentum going in 2015 when they open their season at home Aug. 28 against Mount Anthony.

Mounties Football grows roster, fans Mount St. Joseph AcademyÕ s football team has won 17 state championships in football, more than any other high school in the state. Coach Phil Hall is looking to make that 18 this year, despite a winless last season.

Hall joined MSJ as head coach last year, and continued to grow the numbers on the varsity programÕ s roster. The program can expect some challenges without talented running back Dante Smith, who graduated this year, but you can also expect seniors HYPERLINK Ò http://www.maxpreps. com/local/player/profile.aspx?athleteid=282edca6-d60446b9-9fd7-435c7fc4a416&ssid=ebff7089-c234-4d83-9f977f94d95ffd37” Barryn Shark, Ben Reardon, Chris Bills, and Jonah Farrow to show up to win.

The Mounties open their season on Aug. 29 at Otter ValleyÕ s Markowski Field.

Women’s Soccer working toward another successful season It wasnÕ t that long ago that Mount St. JosephÕ s womenÕ s soccer team was underdeveloped and struggling.

Under Head Coach Sarah Fortier, the Mounties ended the 2014 season 12-2 overall. The D-IV teamÕ s season was cut short by local rival Proctor, who defeated MSJ 3-0 in the semifinals. 2014 was the second consecutive year the Phantoms have outed the Mounties in the state championship semifinals.

With a more competitive schedule, including an away home opener against Leland & Gray Aug. 29, you can expect the program and its participants to grow and succeed in the upcoming months.

Commodores Women’s Soccer seek to build team performance

2014 was not the best season for the Commodores. The team went 3-11 overall, and was defeated by rival Mt. Abraham in the D-II state championship playdowns.

The Commodores will face opponents including Otter Valley, Middlebury, Mill River and Mt. Abraham this season.

The women open their season Sept. 8 at Fair Haven.

Men’s Soccer looks to improve season

The Vergennes menÕ s soccer team is looking to improve their season, despite picking up momentum with a successful fourgame winning streak late in the season. The team went 4-7-3 overall last season.

The team lost to Rice Memorial in the D-II quarterfinals.

The Commodores open their season Aug. 29 at Green Mountain Valley.

Men’s soccer coming off successful 2014 season West Rutland dominated the D-IV teams for much of last season. Going into the championship quarterfinals, the team had won nine games Ð eight by shutouts. Although the teamÕ s dream of a state title was cut short by Arlington, the Golden Horde plans to carry their winning ways with them into this season.

Head Coach Rick Hart will undoubtedly keep enforcing the team to control their plays, outshoot their opponents, and keep contested balls. The team will face Fair Haven in their away season opener on Aug. 31.

West Rutland women’s soccer coming off 8-6 season The Golden Horde womenÕ s soccer team had a successful 2014 season, going 8-6 overall. The team will look face formidable opponents including MSJ, Proctor, and Arlington. They open their season Aug. 29 at Fair Haven.
