New Haven town cut out of solar siting process

NEW HAVEN — Despite Green Mountain Power’s desire to transform Rutland into Vermont’s gleaming “Solar City” on a hill, other power brokers in the solar power industry have quietly made the Town of New Haven their target instead.

The Eagle asked Doug Tolles, a member of the New Haven Select Board why his community is ground zero in the current solarpower boom. And while Montpelier may love “green” energy sources, the Golden Dome’s goal of making 95 percent of Vermont’s power “green” by 2025 is transforming the state’s rural landscapes—and more than a few residents are waking up to the fact.

New Haven Select Board member Doug Tolles, who holds undergraduate and MBA degrees from the University of Cincinnati, has always looked at business and government through the lens of dollars and cents. And the lens he’s peering through at the moment sees

lots of taxpayer dollars—in the form of green corporate welfare—with little planning sense.

The Eagle sat down with Tolles last week to discuss the challenges New Haven faces as it is being “invaded” by multiple smalland large-scale solar power projects—projects that will transform formerly green fields and other agricultural lands into thousands of acres of glittering glass panels within the coming new year.

In this two part interview, Tolles told the Eagle that he sees the current solar-power boom as squeezing out local control at the expense of state government. Huge tax incentives, which amount to nothing more than green corporate welfare, as well as anti-pollution credits—that are linked to some companies far outside of Vermont—are the underpinnings to the current boom.

The Eagle: New Haven is fast becoming Solar Central here in Vermont. Some folks are happy about all the new solar power projects in town, but quite a few residents are waking up to find out they are going to be surCONTINUED ON PAGE 15

“Rebooted” Osborne House on the move

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY — Earlier this year, Middlebury College donated a piece of downtown real estate to the Town of Middlebury in a bid to fulfill its campus plans which include securing the triangle upon which the current municipal office building stands.

The college had expressed its preference that a new town hall be built on the Osborne House property located at 77 Main St. next to the downtown traffic roundabout and local voters agreed, despite a revote on the issue.

The plot deal, which is located near the Ilsley Public Library, also includes some frontage on a section of Otter Creek.

The Middlebury Select Board has been blamed by some critics for brokering a deal with the college without seeking much public input leading up to the Town Meeting 2014 vote.

A “rebooted” Osborne House will be set upon a new foundation at Cross and Water streets within the week. To get there, the house will be transported across the new The Osborne House will be moved across the Cros Street bridge to its new location this month.

Vermont Gas’ had published a tentaive timeline for the project but dates appear to have changed.

Among the pipeline customers will be Agri-Mark/Cabot Creamery Dairy Cooperative and other businesses within the Middlebury Industrial Park, Middlebury College, Middlebury and Vergennes areas in 2015. Bristol, New Haven and Monkton in 2016, East Middlebury in 2017, and St. George (Chittenden County) by 2017.

Among the local objectors to last week’s PSB ruling was AARP. According to an Oct. 10 news release by AARP’s David P. Reville, “The department (of public service) did not do their own examination of current costs, of potential future increases, of the cross-subsidy, or the intergenerational subsidy, and the list goes on. Instead, DPS used only what VGS submitted, and assumed all their cost projections and rate impacts were fine. Given recent legislation requiring the Department to give heightened consideration to residential ratepayers and small businesses, their failure to put ratepayers first is disturbing at a minimum.”

Reville’s news statement said that AARP is concerned that the DPS is not representing ratepayers and perhaps there is a better way to protect Vermonters.

“AARP Vermont does not oppose the extension of the pipeline per se,” according to Reville’s news release dated Oct. 10. “We are concerned with how it is being paid for and how Vermonters will be affected.”

Public Service Board not to reopen Vermont Gas Pipeline case lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Public Service Board has decided to allow the Vermont Gas Systems pipeline project to continue without further scrutiny through Addison County. Vermont Gas already received regulatory approval for Phase I in December 2013.

Citing the public good and the economic benefit to the state Oct. 10, the Vermont Department of Public Service and PSB gas the final go ahead for the Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project which will increase rates for 50,000 customers in Chittenden and Franklin counties to help fund 2,600 homes and four large commercial customers in Addison County. Residents and business users will be able to save on heating bills using gas instead of oil as fuel.

According to Vermont Gas, homeowners and businesses in Addison and Rutland Counties using natural gas will cut their heating costs by about 50 percent and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by about 23 percent.

Phase 1 of the pipeline project will extend the Vermont Gas transmission network south to Middlebury, and will bring natural gas service south to Monkton, Vergennes, New Haven, Bristol, East Middlebury, and finally, Middlebury.

Salmon hatchery improvements made GRAND ISLE — A significant upgrade at the Ed Weed Fish Culture Station in Grand Isle is expected to pay dividends for the health of the salmon population in Lake Champlain.

Recently, hatchery staff, fisheries biologists and other officials from the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department teamed up to construct a fish trap on Hatchery Brook, the station’s discharge stream. The trap will improve the collection process for adult salmon during their spawning run into the brook.

After being collected, the adult salmon are used to reproduce and provide fertilized eggs for the state’s Ed Weed Fish Culture Station, where the eggs are hatched and young salmon are reared before being returned to Lake Champlain.

“Being able to collect fish in a safe, efficient and effective way for both staff and salmon is key to our overall fisheries management plan,” said Adam Miller, fish culture operations chief with Vermont Fish & Wildlife. “The improvements we’ve completed at the Ed Weed Fish Culture Station allow us to meet these objectives more effectively and ultimately produce healthy salmon for our Lake Champlain restoration efforts.”

Former methods used to collect salmon involved more handling and stress on fish, and were less efficient for hatchery staff and biologists.

The fish trap will also benefit the assessment of the department’s salmon restoration efforts by enabling biologists to more efficiently collect data such as lamprey wounding rates, fish size, abundance and age structure from large numbers of returning salmon.

Additionally, the fish trap will serve as an education tool where the public will

From Facebook to eternity Optimism: A gift not to be wasted

O

ctober 2014 was the first time that my wife and I had learned about the death of a family member— and close friend—via Facebook.

This brave new world of social media loomed large a few weeks ago when we learned of the death of Susan, the spouse of Craig, my wife’s late, first cousin; the sad and startling news came to us via a posting on her Facebook page.

Susan was my former coworker in the marketing communications department of a Pennsylvania electronics firm. She had introduced to me to her cute and clever cousinin-law—my future wife—back in the hot and humid summer of 1988.

Susan grew to become not only a new family member for me, but also a very special friend; back in that El Nino summer of 1988, she intuitively knew that her cousinin-law and I would “hit it off,” becoming instant friends--as well as husband and wife.

So, in that regard, I owed a lot to Susan’s human insight and matchmaking talents in connecting this writer with his main squeeze.

Coming down rapidly with what we thought was a passing illness in early September, Susan posted a brief message on her Facebook page saying that she was going in to a local hospital for extensive blood tests.

We had a feeling that the news would not be good.

A week later, her son, Scott, posted on the same Facebook page that his mother had been diagnosed with stage 4 of a virulent form of cancer and had been admitted to a local hospital—then, within a week, she was moved from the hospital to an adjoining hospice.

We made an attempt to visit Susan but had been asked that we not visit just then; she preferred that we wait until she was might be feeling “a little better”—but it was not to be.

Two weeks later, Susan had slipped away; she died within just one month of first feeling ill and then, shortly after, being diagnosed with the disease. It was all so sudden, all so shocking.

Meanwhile, Susan’s network of extended family members would learn about her death via her son Scott’s posting of message on his mother’s Facebook page—Susan had

passed away painlessly, in peace.

It was an unusual moment, to the say the least, to get the news of a friend and family member’s passing this way, via Facebook, normally a frothy, chatty electronic communications medium. But considering how computers and the Internet dominate most everyone’s life today, it wasn’t too surprising. Just decade earlier, this kind of mortality news would have been delivered via a solemn telephone call.

Facebook, acting as today’s interpersonal “broadcast” medium, lets everyone know about the sad news all at once; more importantly, it spared a grieving son the agony of having to make awkward, solemn and painful telephone calls.

While we were geographically separated from Susan by hundreds of miles, we had managed to visit with her twice a year for exactly a quarter century, usually during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Sure we had always wanted to get together more often, but like so many things we talk about in life, it just never happened. I blame the unrelenting responsibilities of work and daily distractions which—in the final analysis—turn out to be the least important things in my life.

On the final weekend of Susan’s life, my wife was able to take time off from work (and those daily distractions) and make a long trip south to be with her, at bedside, for a few hours.

Even though Susan was heavily sedated, my wife believed that she was somehow aware of her visit and kind words. Within 48 hours, Susan had slipped away.

Since her passing, Susan’s Facebook page has become a virtual memorial. Friends, family members, coworkers and neighbors have been sharing thoughts, stories, and photos relating to her life.

Everyone online has posted how deeply Susan had touched them.

Just how long Susan’s son will maintain his mother’s Facebook page is uncertain, but for now, at least, it is a comfort to family and friends helping to keep alive the memory of a one-of-a-kind, gentle soul who will not pass this way again.

Letter to the editor

An error To the editor: Duane Peterson (SunCommon) has made an admission that the Waterbury company erred in not presenting its proposal (for 1195 Dog Team Rd.) to New Haven town officials before seeking Public Service Board approval.

The public admission, we believe, was a good thing to do, but it is just short of the final step.

As politicians do well to “walk the talk,” it also holds true for businessowners; that said, the real opportunity for restitution for the company is to allow the (New Haven) Planning Commission a voice in this proposal.

Will business owners James Moore and Duane Peterson (SunCommon) rectify the proposed siting?

The Public Service Board has issued the CPG, but SunCommon owners can choose to act by hearing and acting on the New Haven Planning Commission’s input on the proposal. It is not too late to change the sighting and we eagerly wait to see it that will happen.

RUTLAND — The biggest blood drive in America, Rutland’s record-breaking Gift-of-Life Marathon, is about to become the longest.

The revamped “Gift-of-Life Marathon 12 Days of Giving” will run from Dec. 2 to 16 at sites throughout the Rutland region, and will be the longest blood drive in U.S. history.

“The GOLM will change significantly, the changes intended to help ensure that this important community-building tradition will have a long life and save lives for years to come,” GMP Vice President Steve Costello said. “It will continue to bring the greater Rutland community together in a way we never imagined 11 years ago, while providing blood at a critical time of year.”

Costello, Terry Jaye from WJJR and Castleton College President Dave Wolk announced plans for the 2014 GOLM, shifting the focus from one-day records to a sustainable model with less stress for donors, volunteers, organizers and the Red Cross. There will be far more options to donate.

Wolk, who signed Castleton on as a lead organizer and sponsor last year, along with GMP and WJJR, said the GOLM’s 12 Days of Giving were designed to help ensure an adequate regional blood supply without the expense and huge logistical challenges of a massive one-day drive, which required hundreds of volunteers and workers, many of them coming from

other states.

Organizers are not setting a numerical goal.

“We want to help the Red Cross collect as much blood as possible while ensuring a great experience for donors, volunteers and staff,” Costello said. “Our focus will be more on the individual and community experience than the numbers.”

The GOLM 12 Days of Giving will be held: Dec. 2 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Castleton College Dec. 3 from noon to Steve Costello of Green Mountain Power outlines 2014’s revamped Gift of Life Marathon at a news conference in downtown 6 p.m. at U.S. Army ReRutland Oct. 15. serve on Post Road in Eagle photo Rutland Town Dec. 5 from 9 a.m. to 2 Dec. 16 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Parp.m. at Rutland High School amount Theatre.

It’s kitten season at the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) and we currently have over 25 young felines available for adoption. We’ve got long-haired kittens, short-haired kittens, boy-kittens, girl-kittens and all types of colors to choose from.

All of our kittens are spayed or neutered and in need of lifelong homes. Kittens are wonderfully entertaining and full of spirit and will keep you company through the years ahead.

Please call RCHS or visit www.rchsvt. org to learn more about which kittens are available for adoption.

Boo. I hope I did not scare you. That is my name but I am not frightening at all I promise. I arrived at the shelter on October 8 as a stray and I am a wise older man who is ready for

a nice relaxing inside only retirement home. I am a kindred spirit and I just have that calm energy to me that the staff seems to love.

Did I mention I am quite handsome as well? I have bright eyes and my black and white coloring is spectacular.

TITUS 1 year old.

I’m an adorable fella with captivating eyes. While I’m not full grown yet when I’m an adult I’ll be a great size for going on family outings, hikes, walks and other activities. Wow, that sounds like fun. I know how to Sit and I’m smart so I think I’ll be able to learn more commands if my new owner would like to teach me. I do like to Jump so I think a basic manners class will be a great idea so I can become a terrific canine companion.

I can’t wait to meet my new family and get the stability I’m looking for.

Bristol man typifies today’s veteran

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com BRISTOL — There are those who serve in the military, do their time, and return to civilian life. But in the case of U.S. Army Sgt. Joseph C. Audy of Bristol, service is a special calling, especially in war time.

During last year’s Veterans Day observances, Audy choose to reenlist in the U.S. Army during a reenlistment ceremony held at the military’s Regional Command Post South, located at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan. The event took place in a secure area last October.

Audy, a 2005 graduate of Mt. Abraham Union High School, has been described by for-

mer classmates as a skilled technician—“loyal,” “honorable,” and a man you’d want by your side in any service unit.

The young veteran serves a a maintenance non-commissioned officer in charge assigned to the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, First Infantry Division headquartered at Fort Riley, Kansas. He has served in the military for seven years since leaving Vermont.

Audy is the son of Kevin and Valli Audy of Bristol.

“Little Mermaid” to headline at Vergennes High Sch.

By Kristina MacKulen

Vergennes Union High School VERGENNES — The students of Vergennes Union High School will be presenting the annual fall musical on Nov. 13-14, at 7 p.m. and Nov. 15 at 3 p.m. in the newly renovated VUHS auditorium. VUHS will present Disney’s version of “The Little Mermaid,” written by Hans Christian Anderson. The stage musical is produced by Disney Theatrical and written by Doug Wright with music by Alan Menken.

“The Little Mermaid” is one of Disney’s most popular recent films. It is about Ariel, a free-spirited mermaid, played by VUHS’s April Ambrose, who dreams of a world above the sea, even though her father, King Triton, played by VUHS’s Glen Childers, has forbidden contact with humans.

Ariel strikes up a bargain with the sneaky sea witch Ursula, played by VUHS’s Emma Gardner, to give up her beautiful voice to find love. Once King Triton realizes what his daughter has done, he approaches Ursula with a deal in order to save his daughter’s life.

Ariel embarks on a lifetime adventure and meets Prince Eric, played by VUHS’s Chris Castillo.

With Sebastian and Flounder by her side, played by Max RattiBicknell and Emily Rooney both students at VUHS, Ariel will need courage and determination to set things right in both her worlds.

An ensemble cast of 50 VUHS 7th-12th graders is sure to delight the audience with song and dance as Ariel, with the help of her family and friends, seeks to make her dreams come true.

The show is directed by Bill Walsh and choreographed by Susan Walsh; they are aided by vocal director Karen Jordan, and producer/conductor Susan O’Daniel.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students and seating is reserved.

Tickets will be available at the beginning of November at Linda’s Apparel in Vergennes and at the High School auditorium lobby Mondays through Fridays 11 a.m.-noon and evenings.

Tickets are also available at the door.

An old- fashioned, same sex Vermont marriage MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College and the Sheldon Museum present “Charity & Sylvia: A Same-Sex Marriage in Early Weybridge, Vt.,” a talk by author Rachel Hope Cleves on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 4:30 pm at Twilight Hall, Middlebury College.

Everyone who lived in Weybridge during the early decades of the 19th century knew that the local tailors, Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake, were married to each other, according to the recollections of Hiram Harvey Hurlburt Jr, who grew up nearby.

How did two women construct a lesbian marriage in this traditional, rural, frontier community, and gain the toleration of their neighbors, friends, and family?

“Vermont became the first state to vote for same-sex marriage in 2009, almost exactly 202 years after Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake moved into a rented room together in the village of Weybridge,” according to Salon.com writer Laura Miller. “At 30, Charity was Sylvia’s senior by seven years, and she had had a rocky early adulthood. Her intense relationships with a series of young women had provoked nasty gossip in several New England towns, forcing her to move around the region, bouncing from household to household as a guest of friends and relatives. Yet once Charity and Sylvia set up housekeeping—and a tailoring business—together, they would not be separated for a single night over the next 44 years.

When they were much older, the poet William Cullen Bryant, Charity’s nephew, wrote a celebrated account of their partnership, describing

their bond as ‘no less sacred to them than the tie of marriage,’ and another local memoirist of the period noted that he had always heard ‘it mentioned that Miss Bryant and Miss Drake were married to each other.’”

Author Cleves researched and wrote “Charity and Sylvia: A Same-Sex Marriage in Early America” (Oxford University Press, 2014). She based much of the research for this book on archival materials found at the Sheldon Museum in Middlebury.

“Some of Cleves’ interpretations seem a bit of a stretch,” according to Miller writing about the book on Salon.com, “...but in sum, the author makes a plausible case for Charity enjoying a gratifying, if furtive, sex life before she met Sylvia.”

Immediately following the talk, a book signing with Cleves and opening reception for the exhibit “Charity & Sylvia: A Weybridge Couple” will take place at the Sheldon Museum, 6-7 p.m.

Copies of the book are available for purchase in advance and during the event in the Sheldon Museum’s shop.

The exhibit, on view Nov. 11-Dec. 31, features original documents including diaries, letters, poetry, and other materials from the Bryant/ Drake papers and objects from the museum’s collections.

The events are free and open to the public.

New U.S. Historic Landmark

RUTLAND —U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and National Park Service Directory Jonathan B. Jarvis recently announced the designation of nine new National Historic Landmarks, among them Vermont’s Brown Bridge in Rutland County.

Built in 1880, Brown Bridge is an outstanding example of a Town lattice truss.

Approximately 110 historic Town lattice truss covered bridges survive throughout the United States, with some of the finest examples located in Vermont. Brown Bridge is also notable as the best surviving example of the work of Nichols M. Powers, a New England covered bridge builder who lived in Clarendon.

The bridge’s unusual slate roof and the northwest abutment, which includes a huge natural boulder, illustrate how 19th-century builders made use of indigenous materials.

Of the approximately 690 historic covered bridges surviving in the United States, Brown Bridge stands out as an exceptionally fine example of covered bridge construction and preservation.

Vermont’s State Historic Preservation Officer Laura Trieschmann said, “National recognition of Brown Bridge highlights the rich

history of Vermont’s covered bridges, augmenting our understanding of bridge construction and enhancing our historic preservation legacy.”

Built by Nichols Powers, famed Vermont Bridgewright, also builder of Blenheim Bridge, recently lost to flooding in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene.

Clarendon was the hometown of Powers and it is thought the Brown was perhaps the last bridge built in a 44 year bridgewrighting career.

Historic Brown Bridge is located on the Upper Cold River Road, a seasonal dirt road a few miles from U.S. Route 7 near Rutland.

Letter to the editor

To the editor:

I had the opportunity to attend a political forum last Friday evening in Bristol, VT. This event was a forum to discuss issues regarding Vermont Health Care and the Vermont Health Care Board.

The forum was hosted by 4 candidates; one of whom was a physician who has worked and done research in this area over a 20-year period. The candidates each had an opportunity to present their point of view. There were also two candidates, who had not been invited, who chose to attend and were given the opportunity to express their views.

One of the opposing candidates spoke of the extremely high cost of medication, especially chemo therapy medication and he cited a situ-

ation where he knew of a patient who needed IV infused medication that was $4,000 per bag.

He later went on to tell the group that he was the individual who had to be given that medication. This uninvited guest indicated that he thought that the forum-organizing candidates were treating this subject lightly at which point he was corrected by the moderator and assured that she was taking it very seriously.

The two uninvited guests also expressed their concern that they were not being properly treated and would not give straight answers and just gave the crowd the usual political rhetoric. After the event, I spoke with the politician about the cost of his medical care versus that of one of my relatives (whose chemo cost is $10,000 for a 5-day supply--he then has 21 days reprieve and then back on chemo for another 5 days and this

will last for one to one and a half years).

By the way, this politician also told me that he got very upset and called his lobbyist to contact the insurance company to ensure that he would receive his chemo that day because at the time he went in for chemo the insurance company had not approved administration of the medication.

Isn’t it interesting that he called a lobbyist to get the job done--none of the rest of us Vermonters have that option nor would most of us use it because we see that we and our family are our own medical advocated.

During our conversation, this politician stated that he felt poorly about his behavior/ statements and was going over to speak with the doctor who gave the main presentation and straighten things out.

Changes ahead at Vt. colleges

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com

FAIRLEE — In a bold move, and a snub to the Vermont State Colleges Faculty Federation, the VSC Board of Trustees selected a new, permanent chancellor for the statewide college system Sept. 24.

Following an executive session of the Vermont State Colleges Board of Trustees meeting at Lake Morey Resort last week, trustees announced that Jeb Spaulding was appointed VSC’s permanent chancellor.

However, VSC faculty across the system reacted negatively to the announcement, based primarily on the Board’s behind-the-scenes process of selecting the new chancellor and not involving faculty.

According to Linda Olson, Vermont State Colleges Faculty Federation—AFT Vermont— president,”Faculty and staff were promised they could play a role in this process for a ‘permanent’ replacement by the Executive Committee. I am more than disappointed that the board has chosen not to honor that promise and that a permanent chancellor was selected with absolutely no faculty or staff input. That said, we look forward to working with Chancellor Spaulding as faculty and staff continue to advocate for high quality, affordable education for Vermont students, and we hope that he will advocate strongly for a more robust state investment in higher education in Vermont.”

Most recently, Spaulding, a Democrat, served as Vermont state treasurer and is the current secretary

of administration.

Spaulding’s online biography notes that he served four terms as state treasurer, from 2003 to 2011, and, served as president of the National Association of State Treasurers in 2009.

For eight terms between 1985 and 2011, Spaulding represented Washington County in the Vermont State Senate. During that tenture, he was chairman of the Senate Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, Appropriations Committee, the Education Committee, and the Joint Fiscal Committee.

I was told the next day, that the politician waited until the public left and then went over and yelled at a doctor who has devoted at least 20 years of his life to caring for patients. The doctor does have a pay for service business but he also runs a cost-free clinic for counseling individuals who need the service and the doctor receives no compensation--he volunteers.

I encourage the voters of Vermont to visit Dr. Robert Emmons’ “YouTube” presentation available at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7usoAXbxPQ and listen to his views before making your voting decision. Take the time to see & understand all candidate’ political platforms.

Thank you for taking time to read my comments. I want to be an informed voter and hope that others will do the same.

Maritime Museum launches new adventure for kids FERRISBURGH— Lake Champlain Maritime Museum has just tested their newest on-water program, “Otter Creek Odyssey,” last week, with outstanding results. Participants included sixty students in grades 5 and 6 from Ferrisburgh Central School, and sixty-seven 7th graders from Vergennes Middle School.

Funded by a grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership, this educational field program is designed to introduce local students to the history, archaeology and ecology of the Champlain Basin during a day-long rowing/ paddling excursion down Otter Creek.

“The program was a great success,” said Nick Patch, Director of Outdoor Education. “The kids got to explore a rich resource that’s right in our neighborhood but rarely accessed by schools.

Otter Creek is place of incredible beauty, and

rich in natural history, and these students got to experience it in a way that schools rarely do.

The team-building piece involved in rowing is also very rewarding. We had eight six-oared gigs on the water – 67 kids with no prior experience got into these boats and they had to row for four miles. The kids and teachers all loved it.”

The rowing boats used for the program were built by Addison County high school students over the past 14 years in LCMM’s Champlain Longboats Program.

At right: Students from Ferrisburgh Elementary and Vergennes Middle Schools setting off to experience a new approach to history, archaeology and ecology in Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s Otter Creek Odyssey last week.

College drama celebrates the American Jewish community MIDDLEBURY —The Middlebury College Department of Theatre and Dance will present David Freedman’s play “Mendel, Inc.” on Oct. 30–Nov. 1 at Wright Memorial Theater.

A heartwarming comedy set in NYC in the 1920s, this play follows the aspirations and travails of a Jewish family seeking a toehold in the American dream. This production honors the 60th anniversary of Hillel at Middlebury.

Author David Freedman was a sketch writer, playwright, and biographer who was known as the “king of the gag writers” in the early days of radio. He wrote “Mendel Inc.” in the late 1920s and it premiered in 1929. The play is a warm, sentimental comedy that takes place in Manhattan’s Jewish community on the Lower East Side.

Adapted from Freedman’s successful novel “Mendel Marantz,” the play had more than two hundred performances on Broadway and was later made into the movie “The Heart Of New York.” Both the play and movie starred the famous vaudeville comedy team of Smith and Dale.

The plotline follows title character Mendel Marantz, who is a plumber by trade, but who devotes all his time to inventing products in the hope of earning millions for his wife and children. He is stubbornly committed to fulfilling those dreams of wealth, while risking dispossession and eviction. Harassed by

his wife and his in-laws, and suspected of marital infidelity, Mendel is secretly determined to create the ultimate labor-saving household machine.

This production is being produced to celebrate Hillel’s 60th anniversary and is supported by the Department of Theatre, The Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life, Hillel, and the Committee on the Arts.

Professor of Theatre Richard Romagnoli will direct the production, featuring Robert Zukerman as Mendel, alongside a cast of nearly a dozen Middlebury College students.

Audience members who wish to learn more may attend the Behind-the-Scenes Lunch and Discussion on Tuesday, Oc. 28, at 12:30 p.m.. at Wright Memorial Theater. The cast, crew, and design team will explore the themes and challenges in the upcoming production. This event is free to Middlebury College I.D. cardholders; a $5 donation is suggested for community members.

“Mendel, Inc.” will be performed all at 7:30 p.m. at Wright Memorial Theater.

Tickets are $12 for the general public; $10 for Middlebury College faculty, staff, alumni, emeriti, and other I.D. card holders; and $6 for Middlebury College students. The theatre is located at 96 Chateau Road in Middlebury, just off Route 125-College Street.

Tolles

From page 1 -ed by power plants, cleverly termed “solar farms.” Some even have sheep running around below the solar arrays to make it all look so Vermonty—so cuddly and cozy.

You clearly are the only outspoken public official regarding this important issue that will determine what the Vermont landscape will look like in the next 50 years. How do you view these inexorable landscape changes in New Haven and beyond?

Tolles: “I’ve been on the New Haven Select Board since March; the solar projects have been making the most noise. What really put this thing on the map is the solar array project on Dog Team Road. As the Eagle reported in August about the Hastings, SunCommon is putting the things practically right outside the Hasting’s window. The Hastings made a loud and successful noise—and a controversy out of it.”

The Eagle: All of sudden New Haven is the place for these large solar projects.

Tolles: “Yes. When I joined the Select Board, we already had one large array constructed, called ‘Cross Pollination,’ which is north of New Haven Junction on the west side of U.S. Route 7, heading toward Vergennes; it’s a big sucker.

Following it, other power-generating projects started popping up.

“Since that time, we have a second array

www.addision-eagle.com constructed at the junction of Town Hill Road and Route 7—which belongs to Misty Knoll (Farms)—on an acre or less. That one was well sited; it’s set back, kept low, and not intrusive.

However, ‘Cross Pollination’—I am told—was planned to be right on Route 7.

“The New Haven Planning Commission was able to convince the owner to move it back off of Route 7 and screen it with trees—well, the trees are all dead now, so it’s not screened; not very effective I’d say. Sure they built a couple of little buildings that look like sugar shacks, which is clever and cute, but nonetheless it has never been screened. They never will go back and screen it; they did what they were required to do—they put a bunch of dead trees there.”

The Eagle: So, this year seems to be D-Day on New Haven’s fallow agriculture lands, at least when it comes to solar power project construction. Why has New Haven been targeted? It’s even been targeted by the Town of Middlebury, with some people asking ‘why can’t Middlebury build it’s own power plant within its town lines?’

Tolles: Ò In the early spring we started getting applications—lots of them. We started noticing that our fields have red (survey) flags in them; this continues to this day. Well, I asked the representatives of several solar companies, “why New Haven?’

“First, New Haven has a lot of open fields with access to the Sun—and three-phase power.

“Second, we have the new VELCO transmission lines completely replaced last year.

“Third, we have a giant power substation which can handle the surge of power.

“And fourth, we’ve been very friendly to utilities. All these things make New Haven a perfect target—the perfect storm.”

The Eagle: Was the VELCO transmission line work last year done with this local “power invasion” in mind?

Tolles: “Well, part of it may be coincidental, part of it I blame on prior Select Board members who rolled over and played dead. We still have that problem, but some of us are more activists regarding this issue, but the tradition here has been ‘do whatever you want, have a grand time, and call us when you’re done.’

“One solar company rep was honest enough to tell us that New Haven has a reputation of not opposing any utility—so that makes us even more attractive.”

The Eagle: Does the New Haven Select Board talk to these various solar power companies? I get the impression that the people—represented by local government—are superfluous in this literal power grab.

The Eagle: So, town government—which represents the local residents, the voters—is simply being shut out of the process on deciding where these solar power plants are being sited.
