Rutland gears up for mid-term election

Residents to weigh-in on Amtrak stop

TRUE NORTH REPORTS

MIDDLEBURY | For many Middlebury area residents and college students, it’s a dream come true: Amtrak passenger train service to New York City.

Since the shire town’s “big dig” project is at work on the rail tracks and bridges downtown, the talk of locals has been, “Are we getting a train station?”

Now town officials are asking residents to weigh-in a passenger train platform (not a station, per se) via an online survey in advance of a public meeting Sept. 27.

Residents are being asked to select among four possible in-town train stops.

“No, our charge is (not to build a train station, but) to select a location and provide concept plans forconstruction of a 300 foot passenger rail platform with minimal covering only,” according to the town online survey instructions. “The cost of acquisition, design and construction of any access drives, parking, landscaping, and passenger amenities are not eligible project costs with the state, and would need to be paid for by the town.”

While the town wouldn’t get much help to help Amtrak, it could apply for funding elsewhere to expand the platform or even include a future station building.

Middlebury’s historic train station is not in the plans for renovation. Owner Steve Dupoise of New Haven is not interested in renting or selling the renovated station building. » Amtrak Cont. on pg. 3

RUTLAND | While much of Vermont is a safe haven for liberals and progressives, Rutland County continues to thrive as a regional outpost for GOP leaders, as shown by the results of the recent primary election.

Voters are getting a look at some new faces in the Senate race following the Aug. 14 primary.

While residents gave incumbent Sen. Brian Collamore a somewhat predictable slot on the ticket, they also picked two newcomers to enter the Senate race for November: former state Rep. Jim McNeil and former Rutland City Alderman Ed Larson.

McNeil received 2,811 votes, or 17 percent of the votes cast. Larson, who defeated fourth-place Poultney Selectboard member Terry Williams by just five votes, survived a recount that showed the same slim margin of victory.

With the primary behind him, McNeil told True North that the economy is the top priority for his constituents and his campaign messaging.

“It’s a declining population here in Rutland,” he said. “There’s not a whole lot of decent jobs other than service jobs between the ski areas, the strips and mini-marts in the crossroads there. Other than that … we need some help here.” » Rutland election Cont. on pg. 7

MIDDLEBURY | Republicans haven’t had an elected state senator representing Addison County since early 2000s.

Unlike past years, this year Addison County has a crowded slate of state senate candidates, although most are moderate-to-liberal Democrat and Independents—with one Republican.

Democrat incumbent Sen. Chris Bray, Democrat Ruth Hardy, as well as independent businessman Paul Ralston (a former local Democrat legislator) and independent dairy farmer Marie Audet have all thrown their hats in the ring. Republican candidate Peter Briggs isn’t shy about the crowded race. Briggs, a well-spoken

Addison dairy farmer, lost the 2014 race for the State House and the 2016 State Senate bid, but he thinks the county’s one-party paradigm may be shifting, albeit slightly.

Briggs is no stranger to Addison County politics. He has served as vice chairman of the Addison Town Select Board and as a member of the Addison Town Development Review Board.

“I see it everywhere. People want a more affordable Vermont,” Briggs said. “That’s why we need to lower the tax burden and bring state spending within sensible lines. Taxes are simply unsustainable at this point,” he said. “Despite the increase in revenues, members of the legislature still felt they had to raise taxes on those of us who work and produce.” » Campaign 2018 Cont. on pg. 6

Drug overdoses trigger street warning

By Lou Varricchio THE V ERMONT EAGLE

RUTLAND | Vermont Department of Health officials began warning people who use street drugs to seek a supply of the overdose “reversal” drug naloxone (commercially known as Narcan). The official warning comes on the heels of several overdose deaths in Rutland County which occurred a few days.

A Department of Health news release last week indicated that two of the deaths likely involved the inhalation of illegal substances.

“If you use street drugs, or know someone who does, do everything you can to prevent an accidental death,” said Health Commissioner Mark Levine, M.D. “The most important thing is to stay alive. Our message to people who are using is simple–you just cannot know what is in drugs you get from the street. If you are using, please use less, don’t use alone, have Narcan available, and absolutely call ‘911’ if someone won’t wake up or is in distress.”

“We are concerned that fentanyl is now being mixed with a variety of illegal substances, like cocaine and methamphetamine. This broadens an already difficult problem,” Levine said.

The type of drugs involved are not known at this time, but Health officials indicated that cocaine with fentanyl is a definite cause of death in the state.

Autopsies of the Rutland County individuals involved, as well as others, are underway by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Toxicology. Test results have not been announced.

“Be aware of the current danger out there,” said Dr. Levine. “...Illicit fentanyl is involved in two-thirds of all opiate-related fatalities.

Cocaine is present in one-third of accidental and undetermined opioid-related deaths. We are doing all we can to help people find the

care and treatment they need and want for recovery from substance use disorder, but it can only happen if you are alive to take that step.”

Levine advised street drug users directly to have someone available to administer naloxone as well as call 9-1-1 during an overdose situation.

Levine advised that only one drug at a time should be used, not mixed.

“Cut the amount that you use at one time.

Don’t mix heroin with alcohol or benzos (benzodiazepines). Test the strength of the drug before using the whole amount. Inject less if it feels too strong,” Levine noted. ■

» Amtrak Cont. from pg. 1 According to Amtrak, the train is anticipated to run southbound to Middlebury at 8 a.m. on its way to New York City. The daily return trip, from the Big Apple, would stop in Middlebury around 7 p.m.

“Based on VTrans’ ridership projections for the Middlebury station,” according to town officials, “it is estimated that 13-15 parking spaces should accommodate projected demand over the next 20 years. There is a possibility that in the future... (the town might) utilize the tracks and

station for shorter-distance train travel, bringing day visitors or commuters to Middlebury.”

The Middlebury Project Steering Committee has worked with the public to determine criteria that should be considered when evaluating the four sites.

“These criteria include cost (capital and operating and maintenance), economic development opportunities, safety, proximity to downtown and the transit center, walkability, environmental resiliency, and compatibility with the surrounding land uses,

Growing up in Vermont

By Tom Pinsonneault SPECI A L TO THE EAGLE

ORWELL | The Vermont morning chill quickened my pace as I trudged through the pasture, which by crossing rather than using the road shortened the route to the novitiate.

A brother greeted me at the gate and was promptly ushered in to morning devotions. Following prayers, I was introduced to the assembled Bretheren and taken to breakfast. I spent the day with a brother who acted as my guide. He described the daily routine and their various jobs at the novitiate. I did more hiking that day visiting work centers, various barns, fields and other buildings than in my entire career as a Boy Scout.

The six o’clock bell signaled the hour of deparure. I said and received farewells and was off for home retracing my steps of the early morning hours. I was nearly clear of the pasture when it occurred to me that I needed a log, as a momento, I presumed, from this visitation. Eyeing the treeline, at the pasture’s edge, I spotted a sapling which appeared to be approximately three inches in diameter (perfect). I would cut my log from this maple, slip it in my bag and finish the long walk home. Mission accomplished. I had completed all the requirements with the exception of the final board of review scheduled for Sunday.

Saturday passed uneventfully. Fr. Fradette made contact and arranged to pick me up at my house a 7 a.m. on the following day for the trip north to Christ the King Church.

At 7 a.m. sharp, Fr. Fradette eased to the curb giving a short blast on his car horn, the signal that “all systems are go,” My parents saw me off at the door and my mother, always thinking, handed me the paper bag with its precious cargo, proof of my visitation inside. I hustled out of the house,

BROWN’S TREE & CRANE SERVICE

placed the bag on the floor behind the passenger seat, and hopped into the front seat. I hate riding in cars.

The trip to Rutland was a blur to my memory, however I do remember the feeling of great joy as we arrived at our destination and the motion of the car ceased. “Well, here we are Tom. Don’t be nervous...”

“I’m ready father,” I managed to squeak out. Although, in my mind I was beginning to experience serious selfdoubts. We got out of the car... recalling the Boy Scout motto “Be prepared,” I said, “I forgot something, Father.”

And ran back to the car to retrieve a lunch bag. “You didn’t need to bring you lunch, Tom, I am going to treat you afterwards,” Father offered.

“But Father,” I ventured, “this is what I need for the interview.” I reached into the paper bag and withdrew the log. “This is the log that I was supposed to keep while at the novitiate, Father. Remember?” The final requirement of the Ad Altare Dei Award was to go to the novitiate, I reminded him, and keep a log which is to be presented at the final Board of Review,” I said knowledgeably... Why don’t you sit here, Tom,” he said gently, “I need to speak privately with the Fathers before we go in.”

While sitting on the uncomfortably hard chair in the hall way I started to wish that what I had in the paper bag really was a sandwich. I was starved... A voice seemed to be calling me from some far-off place. “They’re ready for you Tom,” it boomed... “But, Father..,” I started. “I will explain it to you later, Cap (Father’s nickname for me),” he interjected. “No time now.”

The review board did not last long but it reminded me of something out of the Twilight Zone or one of my nightmares. The conference room was small and dark with three burning tapers affording the only light and three dark shadowy figures facing me from across the table. “Tom,” Father nudged me, “now would be a good time to swallow that gum!” Great! I thought. I must have

blown it again, although I wasn’t sure what my first missstep could have been.

We stopped on the way home for lunch, as Father had promised. “What do you say we top off the day with an ice-cream cone for the rest of the ride home?” Father seemed in a good mood. I chose my favorite chocolate chip ice-cream cone. ...The award ceremony was nice. My parents were especially pleased, especially my mother who had dreams of me joining the priesthood. However, I couldn’t help but think that word of the “Log Episode” leaked-out when I noticed that the medal to be presented was draped over a familiar chunk of wood camouflaged with candles and evergreens. Father has a sense of humor. ■

Vermont schools and lead levels A new state report about a pilot program to test school drinking water for lead recommends that all Vermont school water systems be tested for the toxic metal immediately.

“There is no safe level of lead in the human body,” said Vermont Health Commissioner Mark Levine, M.D. “We have an obligation to ensure that students and school staff have safe drinking water, and one thing this project made clear is that you have to test the water to know if there is lead in it,” said Levine.

Here’s what we know, so far, about lead conditions in Vermont schools: Exposure to lead can slow down physical growth, and result in permanent developmental, learning and behavioral difficulties. The good news: lead poisoning itself is entirely preventable.

“In 2017, 480 children under the age of 6 were poisoned by lead in Vermont. Paint is a major source of lead poisoning in Vermont children, but

Guest viewpoint

health officials emphasized lead in older plumbing, pipes and fixtures can add to a child’s overall lead exposure.” Levine told reporters last week that children absorb lead more easily than adults, that’s why they are at hightened risk.

“The testing program was conducted over the past year as part of a collaborative effort by the Vermont Department of Health, Agency of Natural Resources and the Agency of Education to gain insight into how widespread elevated lead levels may be in Vermont schools,” according to state sources.

“Current regulations require testing of the quality of water at several locations throughout the municipal water system, but do not require testing for lead at school faucets. Thanks to the voluntary participation of the 16 schools that took part in this initiative, we have demonstrated the critical importance of testing at the faucet. The schools have provided valuable feedback on the sampling protocol and proven the effectiveness of remedial

action. Their actions will inform the development of a program that works for Vermont,” said Emily Boedecker, commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation.

Wher is the lead bing found in schools: First, plumbing fixtures come out as number one.

“The good news is that when lead was found, the fixes were relatively inexpensive,” Levine said. “Most schools are able to fully test all their taps for $800$1200. Removing a tap from service and replacing the fixture was typically done for less than $500.”

Meanwhile, here are the key recommendations to school administrators mentioned in the report: Test for lead in school drinking water at all schools, remove redundant or seldom-used fixtures, when lead is found, remove or replace plumbing or pipes, encourage centrally-located fountains, and use of bottle-fill stations with proper filters, and flush the lines of water after weekends, holidays or vacations.

Seniors vs. the $15 min. wage

By Rob Roper

THE ETH A N A LLEN INSTITUTE

The $15 minimum wage is an increasingly hot topic in the election debates.

Proponents have faith that artificially increasing the cost of labor will be a benefit to low-wage workers.

Opponents can point to evidence that the $15 minimum wage will force employers to lay off employees, cut hours or go out of business entirely, damaging the overall economy. But the group that will be hurt and here’s why.

According to University of Vermont economist Art Woolf, a majority of Vermonters living below the poverty line do not work. That’s 31,000 non-working poor.

Many of these Vermonters are retired senior citizens living on a fixed income. Of course, if you’re not working you will receive zero benefit from an artificial increase in the wage rate. However, you would be harmed by the very real inflation resulting from the policy.

Businesses would have to pass on the higher cost of labor to their customers in the form of higher prices for goods and services.

Senior citizens living on fixed incomes would, therefore, have to pay more for things like food, nursing care, household help, and so on, with no boost in income to help cover those costs. In other words, fixed incomes would not stretch as far under a $15 minimum wage.

State Sen. Richard Westman, R-Lamoille,

raised an example from his own life experience in that he would no longer be able to afford in-home nursing care for his aging parent if the $15 minimum wage became law.

Westman also noted that Lamoille Home Health and Hospice would have to raise or charge an extra $80,000 to cover wage increases for their visiting nurses, and that money will have to come from someone, most likely in the form of higher bills to the people in need of the service.

Vermont is the second oldest state in the union when it comes to the average age of its residents, which would mean implementing this experiment here would come with a disproportionately high level of pain. ■ — Rob Roper is president of the Ethan Allen Institute.

TIME CAPSULE: Middlebury College graduates enjoy puffing on pipes in 1942. According to Samuel Cartwright’s college blogsite, “Just as coming

across full page ads for Chesterfield cigarettes used to be part and parcel of reading the latest edition of ‘The Campus’, pipe smoking was once a traditional part of Middlebury’s graduation festivities. Dating back to at least the 1920s, during the class day activities that preceded commencement, graduates would gather outside to take puffs on long white pipes (sometimes lit by proud parents) before heading off to the alumni barbecue.”

» Campaign 2018 Cont. from pg. 1 When it comes to the remaining weeks of the 2018 campaign, Briggs said that the biggest downside is the lack of feeling like he’s part of team. That’s why he teamed up with Addison County assistant judge candidate Doug Tolles of New Haven. The pair are placing roadside campaign signs throughout the county.

“Early on, Doug and I decided to pool our resources since there aren’t many countrywide candidates… Whatever benefits one party candidate benefits all the others,” Briggs said.

Briggs—along with Tolles—thought up a series of campaign signs, designed after the famous, classic Burma Shave “slogan” road signs. “We’re using a commercial sign maker in Vergennes,” said Tolles. “So we really ‘buy local’ when it comes to our campaigns.”

The Republicans’ Burma Shave-style signs can be seen along Routes 7, 17, 22A, 116, and elsewhere. Addison County farming families, such as the Nops and Fosters with plenty of roadside acreage, have given Briggs and Tolles the OK for their roadside slogans. Other property owners have also enjoyed hosting the slogan signs.

“It is encouraging to see a young person like Peter so engaged in Vermont politics,” said yard-sign fan Melanie Carmichael of Addison. “…Peter cares about Vermont and wants to help shape the course of the future of Vermont. People driving down the road will see road signs with names on them and not really know who these people are or what they believe in

Addison County candidates Peter Briggs (state senate) and Doug Tolles (side judge) pooled resources for a roadside sign campaign.

unless they are really engaged in politics. I feel these signs, that Peter has strategically placed around the county, will cause people to read and think about the issues… .”

The candidates drive around the county once a week in Briggs’ aging Chevrolet pickup to change their “Burma Shave” sign slogans. “We’ve come up with some pithy slogans,” Briggs said. “From Ayn Rand to Eisenhower. And we change them out regularly.”

One of the slogans which received thumbs up from passersby was a quote from Republican President Dwight Eisenhower: “Farming looks easy… when your plows a pencil…

Study: Vermonters working harder than most

By Lou Varricchio THE V ERMONT EAGLE

MIDDLEBURY | Don’t let the pundits fool you. Most Americans work and play hard. And a new online Wallet Hub. com study confirms it, especially when it comes to Vermonters.

Americans are hard workers, putting in 300 hours per year more than Germans work, but 450 less than Mexican workers.

“With Americans working an average of almost 1,800 hours per year and 52 percent of workers not using all their available vacation time, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2018’s Hardest-Working States in America as well as accompanying videos,” according to Wallet Hub spokesperson Diane Polk.

WalletHub compared the 50 states across ten key metrics on the subject of work.

“The data set ranges from average workweek hours to share of workers with mul-

tiple jobs to annual volunteer hours per resident,” Polk said.

So how hard does Vermont work? Using a scale of “1” as best and “ 25” average, Polk said the study revealed that the Green Mountain State is ranked sixth in the 50-state employment rate, tenth in the share of workers with multiple jobs, and thirteenth in the annual volunteer hours spent per resident.

Finally, to earn its sweat as a hardworking state, Vermonters placed number “1” as having the least amount of leisure time in any given day.

“We evaluated those dimensions using ten key metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the hardest-working,” Polks said. “We then determined each state’s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its overall score and used the resulting scores to rank-order our sample.”

WalletHub is a non-partisan, personal finance website based in Washington, D.C. ■

and your 1,000 miles from the cornfield.”

Both Briggs and Tolles like the 1950s-era Ike slogan. “It’s definitely the way the Vermont legislature takes an attitude toward agriculture,” he said.

Former Addison County State Sen. Tom Bahre said Peter Briggs would make an excellent state senator for Addison County.

“I like him and he’s a good man,” Bahre said. “I also think he has a better than an average chance of winning. However, with that said, the problem is always getting a lot of people to know you during a campaign. You have to have voters ask you questions they care about instead of just shaking a hand.” ■

» Rutland election Cont. from pg. 1 He does not think that a $15 minimum wage — a popular idea among the state’s liberal lawmakers — is going to help the Rutland economy.

“I think those folks ought to earn it the way all of us rose up through the ranks,” he said. “It just wasn’t given, you’ve got to work for that. What’s gonna happen for those folks who do get the increase? They’re gonna get fewer hours a week.”

On Second Amendment issues, McNeil said background checks are an important tool but aren’t realistic for private sales: “I don’t know about private sales — there’s no way to do background checks [on those].”

He also doesn’t see the need the magazine capacity limits.

“It doesn’t make a difference if you have a magazine of 30 or five. … It only takes one bullet to kill somebody.”

He said affordable health care is a priority, but he does not endorse a single-payer system, such as was proposed by former Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin.

Larson received 2,049 votes, or 12 percent of votes cast in the primary. He is an adamant defender of the Second Amendment, yet his GoFundMe.com page highlights his other campaign priorities, such as the affordability crisis.

“We need to stop the exodus of seniors and young people by attracting more employers to Vermont by providing better incentives to do business here, as well as assisting in-state businesses with innovative programs to remain here.

His site advocates changing the education tax levy system, protecting students while not removing gun rights, and reducing the cost of state government by tightening the reigns on social service programs.

“I am like the vast majority of taxpayers who have had to live paycheck to paycheck and feel we can make a difference in Montpelier by professing common sense,” Larson writes on his campaign site.■ — Michael Bielawski is a reporter for True North Reports.

Mabel Hinckley Buttolph MIDDLEBURY | Mabel Hinckley Buttolph, “Auntie Mabel”, died peacefully, Sept. 4, 2018 at the Residence at Otter Creek, in Middlebury. Mabel was born in the Buttolph farmhouse, the house in which her father was born, on Buttolph Road in East Shoreham, Vermont, on Nov. 8, 1921, and died at the age of 96. The youngest of five children of John Lucius Buttolph [Sr] and Mabel Martin, she was also, in the scheme of heavenly justice, the last of her four siblings, or, in her own words, “the last leaf on the tree.” All five lived long and fruitful lives. Her primary education took place in the one-room “Buttolph” school, the schoolhouse located on the Buttolph farm just a few steps from the farmhouse. Mabel was a 1944 graduate of Middlebury College, taking her place in the long line of Buttolph graduates of that Vermont institution. In 1962, she moved back to Vermont, was hired as a Registered Dietician at the now University of Vermont Medical Center. She then owned and operated the food concession at Rice Memorial High School in Burlington, a private contractor for many years until her retirement in 1986. In her retirement, Mabel stayed active in the community, serving in volunteer roles with Women Helping Battered Women (now called Steps to End Violence) and the League of Women Voters. Mabel was sensitive to injustice in the world, and did what she could to be part of the solution.

Mabel was perhaps best known in the family as the

“chief honcho” of what came to be known as “kids’ camp.” For many years she operated this unofficial summer camp, inviting all the many nieces and nephews in the area for a two-week summer vacation. Remembering these happy days will bring a tear to the eye of her many living relatives. She is survived by fifteen nieces and nephews: Elizabeth Spannbauer, Judith Harris, Carolyn Buttolph, Thomas R. Buttolph II, Kathryn Laframboise, Edward Buttolph, John Buttolph, Kenneth Buttolph, Christine Buttolph, James Buttolph, Janet Buttolph, Christopher Buttolph, David Buttolph, Martin Buttolph, Alison Kutchma, Patricia Buttolph and their spouses and partners. She also leaves her devoted friends/caregivers Karen Cloutier, and Jerry Maitner. She is predeceased by her parents, siblings (Grace Buttolph-Wright,Thomas R. Buttolph, John “Lute” Buttolph, Edward Buttolph) and a niece, Carol Buttolph. Per “Auntie Mabel’s” wishes, she donated her body to the Anatomical Gift Program, through The University of Vermont.

A private gathering will be held at the families convenience. Donations in her name may be sent to Addison County Home Health and Hospice( Attn: Hospice), P.O. Box 764, Middlebury, Vt. 05753, Steps to End Domestic Violence, P.O. Box 1535, Burlington, Vt. 05402 and The League of Women Voters of Vermont P.O. Box 1391 Montpelier, Vt. 05601-1391.

Make the most of your home improvement dollars

H

ome improvement projects provide homeowners with a chance to put their own stamp on their homes. In addition, many such projects make homes safer and, in some instances, more ecofriendly.

The opportunity to make a home more comfortable, safer and/or more eco-friendly entices many homeowners to open their wallets. In fact, the Home Improvement Research Institute estimates that the home improvement products market will grow by more than 5 percent in 2018.

Homeowners might experience some sticker shock when researching home improvement projects or receiving estimates from contractors. But there

are ways for budget-conscious homeowners to transform their homes and still make the most of their home improvement dollars.

• DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Each year, Remodeling magazine publishes its “Cost vs. Value Report,” a comprehensive study of 21 popular remodeling projects in 149 United States markets. The report notes the value each project retains at resale in 100 markets across the country. Homeowners who want to get the strongest return on investment can access the “Cost vs.

Value Report” (www.remodeling.how. net) to see which home improvement projects are best suited for them.

• DO SOME OF THE LABOR YOURSELF. Homeowners willing

Budgetconscious homeowners can employ various strategies to make the most of their home improvement dollars without sacrificing quality.

to swing a hammer also can stretch their home improvement dollars.

For example, the home improvement resource This Old House® notes that homeowners willing to do their own demolition before the contractors arrive can save substantial amounts of money. A professional contractor may charge $1,000 to demo a 200-squarefoot deck, but This Old House estimates that homeowners who demo their own decks may spend only $450 (for the dumpster rental and parking permit).

• HIRE A CONSULTANT. The DIY movement is incredibly popular, no doubt thanks to television channels such as HGTV and the DIY Network.

Homeowners with DIY experience may be able to complete projects on

their own with little consultation from professional contractors. Some contractors may not offer consulting services, however. The consultation route, which typically requires paying licensed contractors hourly fees to offer guidance, should only be considered by homeowners with legitimate DIY skills, for whom this option can be a great way to save money.

• SCHEDULE RENOVATIONS DURING HOMEOWNER-FRIENDLY TIMES OF YEAR. Summer and fall tend to be contractors’ busy seasons, and homeowners will likely pay more for projects during this time of year. If possible, delay starting projects until right after the new year, when contractors aren’t so busy and might be more flexible with pricing. ■

Fall Lawn Care Tips

In addition to your home, your lawn needs preparation for winter.

S

pring and summer may be the seasons most often associated with landscaping and lawn care, but tending to lawns and gardens is a year-round job. If lawn and garden responsibilities dip considerably in winter, then fall is the last significant chance before the new year that homeowners will have to address the landscaping around their homes.

Fall lawn care differs from spring and summer lawn care, even if the warm temperatures of summer linger into autumn. Homeowners who want their lawns to thrive year-round can take advantage of the welcoming weather of fall to address any existing or potential issues.

• KEEP MOWING, BUT ADJUST HOW YOU MOW. It’s important that homeowners continue to mow their

lawns so long as grass is growing. But as fall transitions into winter, lower the blades so the grass is cut shorter while remaining mindful that no blade of grass should ever be trimmed by more than one-third. Lowering the blades will allow more sunlight to reach the grass in the months ahead.

result is dead grass and possibly even fungal disease. Leaves may not need to be raked every day, but homeowners should periodically rake and remove leaves from their grass, even if there are plenty left to fall still hanging on the trees.

• REPAIR BALD SPOTS. Summer exacts a toll on lawns in various ways, and even homeowners with green thumbs may end up with a lawn filled with bald spots come September. Autumn is a great time to repair these bald spots. Lawn repair mixes like Scotts® PatchMaster contain mulch, seed and fertilizer to repair bald spots, which can begin to recover in as little as seven days. Before applying such products, remove dead grass and loosen the top few inches of soil. Follow any additional manufacturer instruc-

• REMOVE LEAVES AS THEY FALL. Much like apple-picking and foliage, raking leaves is synonymous with fall. Some homeowners may wait to pick up a rake until all of the trees on their properties are bare. However, allowing fallen leaves to sit on the ground for extended periods of time can have an adverse effect on grass.

Leaves left to sit on the lawn may ultimately suffocate the grass by forming an impenetrable wall that deprives the lawn of sunlight and oxygen. The

tions as well.

• AERATE THE TURF. Aerating reduces soil compacting, facilitating the delivery of fertilizer and water to a lawn’s roots. While many homeowners, and particularly those who take pride in tending to their own lawns, can successfully aerate their own turf, it’s best to first have soil tested so you know which amendments to add after the ground has been aerated. Gardening centers and home improvement stores sell soil testing kits that measure the pH of soil, but homeowners who want to test for nutrients or heavy metals in their soil may need to send their samples to a lab for further testing.

Fall lawn care provides a great reason to spend some time in the yard before the arrival of winter. ■

Upgrade your tool collection for fall home projects

When the last cookout is history and it’s time to move indoors and on to fall home and shop projects, Woodcraft suggests that you consider adding some new tools to your collection for easier home improvements and repairs.

C

hange the look of your decor with new hardware in every room, and try out some new jigs from Kreg — Drawer Slide, Concealed Hinge, and Cabinet Hardware Jigs, along with the Kreg Shelf Pin Jigs (1⁄4” and 5 mm).

“Kreg Hardware Installation Solutions make it easy to add the perfect final touch to your projects by allowing you to confidently install knobs and pulls, concealed door hinges, drawer slides, and adjustable shelves,” Woodcraft senior product development manager Peter Collins said. “These durable, adjustable jigs position your hardware and guide your drill so you get accurate, repeatable, professionalquality results every time. These jigs are an essential part of the Kreg ‘Kitchen Makeover Series’ that provides a helping-hand for those folks that aren’t building new but rather changing hardware and paint colors.”

Installation of hardware, shelving, cabinets, doors and windows and many building projects require a driver, like the Bosch PS31-2A 12V Max 3⁄8” Drill Driver that comes in a kit. Lightweight and compact, the lithium-ion Bosch driver delivers 265 inch-pounds of torque and is great for overhead and tight area work.

For projects that require crosscutting, whether straight or

at an angle for joining crown molding, framing doors and windows and more, the lightweight, portable DeWalt 10” Single Bevel Compound Miter Saw will do the job. It has a 15 amp, 5,000 RPM motor and tall sliding fences that support 41⁄2” of crown molding vertically nested.

Sanding is a necessary part of many home and shop projects. For hand-sanding, the Preppin Weapon is an ergonomically-shaped ABS plastic sanding block that fits comfortably in your hand to reduce fatigue. Use wet or dry and load as many as four sheets of sandpaper at one time, removing each one as the abrasive wears out. For power sanding, the Norton 5” Random Orbital Sander features a 2.0-amp motor that generates 12,500 orbits per minute and provides a 3⁄32” orbit that helps make quick work of most sanding projects. Ergonomic, rubber palm grip is comfort-

We pay close attention to detail. Your project is as important to us as it is to you!

For cutting, grinding, sanding, carving and polishing, the Dremel 3000 Rotary Tool with 24 accessories is a good choice. The upgraded tool features an EZ Twist™ nose cap with an integrated wrench that allows the nose cap to function as a wrench to tighten accessories. A more efficient fan design and side vents for a cooler running tool make it comfortable for extended use.

Once a project reaches the finishing stage, the new HOMERIGHT Finish Max Fine Finish HVLP Sprayer is a good choice for application. The Finish Max will handle any solvent- or water-based product — latex paint, milk paint, chalk paint, furniture paint, stains and finishes. It is easy to set up, use and clean. Features include precision volume control and an adjustable spray pattern. HOMERIGHT Small Spray Shelter and Large Spray Shelter will help contain overspray and drift when using the sprayer.

Products for working safely and in a clean environment are always important. FastCap Safety Glasses offer UV protection and have clear anti-fog lenses to allow maximum light transmission. Six-mil-thick Powder Free Nitrile Gloves in three sizes provide inexpensive protection for your skin, keeping your hands free of stain and glue. Deluxe Neoprene Gloves in three sizes are designed for heavy-duty tasks such as stripping paint or finish. Lightweight, muff style SAS Hearing Protectors can be your first line of defense against hearing loss. They are rated of NRR 23.

Keeping a clean work area is safe and healthy. The 6.6-gallon Karcher WD5/P Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum has a powerful, 1800-watt, variable-speed motor. The onboard power outlet allows the vacuum to come on and go off automatically when the tool is turned on or off. ■

7 uses for fallen leaves B

Fallen leaves can be used in many different ways throughout the year.

y the time autumn hits full swing, many trees will have shed their leaves for the season, and the last vestiges of red, yellow and orange magic will have faded to brown. Raking, blowing and collecting leaves becomes the primary chores of lawn and yard maintenance, and presents most homeowners with large piles of gathered leaves to tend to.

It is impossible to count just how many leaves fall to the ground each year, or just how many pounds of leaves get collected curbside, but the numbers are substantial.

Cleaning up leaves is considerable work, but not all of those leaves need to be carted away. In fact, there are several different uses of leaves that can be beneficial.

1. Spread leaves as a protective mulch to cover tender perennials or root crops/bulbs in the ground. The leaves will form a natural insulating cover that keeps the soil and the plants within a bit warmer over winter.

5. Use shredded leaves as a lawn supplement. Pass a lawn mower over leaves left on the lawn to break them down into pieces too small to rake. This will help keep the lawn healthy throughout the winter without blocking out needed sunlight.

2. Create a pile of leaves that will break down and form a crumbly, compost-like material called leaf mold. Even though leaf mold may sound like a blight, it’s actually a good amendment to garden soil, improving its structure and ability to hold water. Leaf mold also attracts beneficial organisms that are vital in healthy soil.

3. Brown leaves can be added to green materials in compost piles to improve the health of the compost being formed. According to the healthy living resource Care2, the ideal ratio is 75 percent brown to 25 percent green materials in compost. Turn compost piles regularly to aerate them.

4. Store dried, mulched leaves in a dry spot so they can be used in the spring as a weed barrier for spring plantings. They will keep weeds at bay and help retain soil moisture to ensure small sprouts have the resources to grow.

6. Bag dried leaves and pack them tightly together in cold areas of the home, such as basements or garages.

They can act as added insulation. Bags of leaves also can be placed around planting containers to protect them from frost.

7. Gather a few of the best-looking leaves and preserve them. Use an iron on a low setting and press leaves between two pieces of waxed paper until the waxed paper seals together. Or use clear contact paper to achieve the same effect. ■

Steps to a more organized, functional garage

The Vermont Eagle | September 29, 2018 • 15

Organized garages that are free of clutter can serve as valuable work spaces for handy homeowners.

O

rganization can help homeowners transform their homes into less cramped, more spacious oases without forcing them to finance potentially expensive expansion projects.

Homeowners who park in their driveways may find that their garages have become crowded, cluttered spaces in which searching for tools can feel like scouring a haystack in search of a needle. Organizing a garage can create extra room in a home while affording homeowners the chance to protect their vehicles from the elements. Homeowners who want to turn their garages into something more than cluttered storage units can employ the following strategies to transform these largely overlooked areas into more valuable spaces.

• Choose the right day. Garages tend to be separate from the rest of the homes they’re a part of, meaning the only way to organize a garage is to first remove all items from the garage and into the driveway. Because items removed from the garage will be exposed to the elements, homeowners should choose a day that’s temperate and sunny to clean their garages. If possible, homeowners should opt to

organize their garages in late spring, summer or early fall when there are additional hours of daylight. This protects homeowners from having to work in the dark should the job take longer than they initially anticipated.

• Discard or donate duplicate items. Duplicate items are some of the main culprits behind cluttered garages.

As garages gradually become more cluttered, homeowners may buy tools they already have simply because they cannot find their original tools. When organizing the garage, create separate piles for duplicate tools, placing stilluseful items in a pile that can be donated to neighbors, local charities or organizations and another pile for old tools that are no longer useful.

• Host a garage sale. Homeowners who want to organize their garages and make a buck at the same time can host garage sales. Make only those items that are still functional available for purchase, and let neighbors and bargain hunters do the bulk of your organization work for you.

• Designate areas of the garage for certain items.

Once the items that won’t be going back into the garage have been sold, donated or discarded, organize the garage by designating areas for certain items, making sure to separate items that can pose safety risks. For example, store kids’ bicycles and outdoor toys in a corner of the garage that is opposite the corner where potentially dangerous items such as power tools and gas cans will be stored.

Keep the center of the garage open for vehicles.

• Periodically park cars in the garage. Homeowners who are comfortable parking their vehicles in their driveways can improve their chances of maintaining organized garages over the long haul by periodically parking in the garage. Doing so not only prevents the gradual buildup of clutter that can slowly take over a garage, but also protects homeowners’ automotive investments.

Maintaining an organized garage can help homeowners make more practical use of the space in their homes. ■

We received quotes from Bristol Electronics and another well-known Vermont solar company, and were pleasantly surprised that Bristol had the better price, and we preferred Bristol’s microinverter approach. Additionally, we were very pleased to learn that the panels and racking system were made in the USA with some components manufactured by a Vermont company.

On top of this, the folks at Bristol were such a pleasure to work with. We can’t remember a more pleasant experience when making a major investment.

We had a variety of questions which they happily addressed. Their knowledgeable staff was well versed with applicable regulations and requirements, building codes and even wind loading concerns.

They truly went out of their way to make sure we were educated on the system and pleased with the installation.

We found kindred spirits at BE and we can’t recommend them highly enough!

– Megan Nedzinski and Joshua Faulkner South Starksboro, VT

Bristol Electronics is the best! They scheduled an on-site visit within days of my call, had a price a week later and started work a week after that.

They were finished in a matter of days and since I had a free standing array they even raked and seeded the area around the panels. They get top marks in everything and their customer service is beyond excellent.

I highly recommend them if you want the best job for the best price!

– Lani Nichols Goshen, VT

Bristol Electronics installed our 20 panels quickly, efficiently, coureously and just the way we wanted them. Our roof is a difficult one due to our post-and-beam construction, but nevertheless, the crew was friendly, informative and just great people.

Then in the cloud cover, we began immediately to generate electricity!

Furthermore (and most importantly for others deciding to install solar), the price was fair, competitive and honest.

If we had another home, I’d want them to put the solar panels on that one too! We recommend solar and Bristol Electronics without reservation!

Four inducted to Castleton Hall of Fame From Campus News Reports CASTLETON UNI V ERSIT Y

CASTLETON | Four new members will be enshrined into the Castleton University Athletics Hall of Fame on Homecoming Weekend as the newest class of inductees was announced on Wednesday afternoon. Phil Puleo ‘07, Jeremy Jorgensen ‘07, Jennifer Goff (Whiting) ‘08 and Vanessa Carter ‘08 mark the 2018 Hall of Fame Class for the Spartans.

The four honorees will be formally inducted with a ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 20, at 9 a.m. in the Castleton Campus Center.

Puleo made an immediate impact on the Castleton baseball program as a freshman from Utica in 2004, batting .349 with 10 doubles, three home runs, and 28 runs batted in to earn North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year honors.

Jorgensen left his mark on the Castleton men’s basketball program as the picture of durability during his four seasons, appearing in all 109 games the Spartans played and never missing a practice. In 2003-04 the imposing forward averaged 4.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in 27 games off the bench

as a freshman before he worked his way into the starting lineup in his sophomore season, earning team MVP honors three straight years. He averaged 13.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game in 2004-05, followed by his junior season of 2005-06 in which he finished with 15.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.

Goff (Whiting) arrived at Castleton from nearby Granville and appeared in 23 games off the bench for the women’s basketball team in 2003-04, averaging 5.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game.

Carter was part of the first Castleton varsity women’s ice hockey team in 2004-05. After playing in eight games during her freshman season, she took over the as starting goalie as a sophomore, playing all but 30 minutes in net.

She finished the season with 1,181 saves—a Division III single season record that stood for 10 years—and was named the ECAC East Goalie of the Year. Carter made a program record 90 saves, still the third-highest single game total in Division III women’s ice hockey history. She earned team MVP honors in both that season and in 2006-07 after making 659 saves in 19 games on the ice.

MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury men’s soccer team (2-1-1) scored four first-half goals en route to a 4-0 road win at Mount Saint Mary (4-4-0) last week.

Middlebury took a 1-0 lead 8:40 into the game when Raffi Barsamian ripped a shot into the back of the net from 40 yards out after a feed from Drew Goulart. The goal was the first of Barsamian’s career.

The lead doubled nearly three minutes later when Daniel O’Grady and Brandon Reid worked the ball quickly to Ben Potter, who scored from just outside the box into the left corner of the net.

Potter netted his second of the game on a free kick from the top of the box at the 39:15 mark to put his team up 3-0. Fazl Shaikh followed, converting a cross from Shams Mohajerani less than four minutes later, making it a 4-0 game at the break.

Neither team found the back of the net in the second half, as the Panthers cruised to the win. Matthew Hyer recorded his third shutout in four career starts in goal, making a pair of saves for Middlebury. Tyler Rapp made two stops for Mount Saint Mary.

The Panthers held an 11-3 advantage in shots, including an 8-1 margin in the first half. ■
