HINESBURG Ñ Senior federal Judge William K. Sessions III sentenced a Hinesburg man Dec. 1 to spend 18 months in prison after his conviction of possessing child pornography.

Gregory Brusso, 57, received his sentence in U.S. District Court in Burlington. In July, Brusso pleaded guilty to one count of possessing child pornography.

In addition to the 1 1/2 year jail sentence, Sessions is also requiring Brusso to complete a five-year period of supervised release as well as pay an assessment of $100.

Court records earlier this summer detailed how Brusso, who is now serving with the Vermont National Guard, ordered a DVD, which had child pornography, from a company Brusso thought marketed that.

In fact, the organization was an undercover operation under the auspices of the U.S. Postal Service.

After Brusso accepted the delivery of the DVD, at his home in Hinesburg, the Postal inspectors, who had obtained a search warrant, search BrussoÕ s home. At the time, BrussoÕ s computer was seized and later examined; the results showed child pornography on the device.

This wasn’t Brusso’s first brush with federal authorities. More than 10 years ago, an examination of BrussoÕ s credit card history shows he made purchases from three web sites identified as selling child pornography.

In 2008, law enforcement investigated Brusso for allegedly uploading a child pornography image to computer group overseen by Yahoo.

ACEDC celebrates 50 years

MIDDLEBURY Ñ At its recent 20th annual meeting, the Addison County Economic Development Corporation celebrated five decades of economic development.

From $1.5 million in original RLFs, ACEDC has made 75 loans totaling $3.5 million. More than1200 jobs were created or retained as a result.

The loans were part of over $25 million in project costs, representing a 16.7 times return on investment, according to an ACEDC news release.

Speakers representing each of the five decades talked about their experience with economic development and the assistance they received from ACEDC: 1970s: Connie Houston (original Addison County Development Corp.)

College professor discusses geothermal power at lecture RUTLAND— The Green Mountain Power College Connections lecture series hosted an energy discussion Dec. 2 at the Energy Innovation Center in downtown Rutland.

Castleton College’s Dr. Helen Mango gave the presentation on a topic of growing interest in Vermont—geothermal energy. Ò Geothermal means the internal heat of the Earth, but the kind of geothermal energy used to heat houses and produce electricity in some parts of the world is very different from the kind of geothermal energy that we can use in Vermont unless we were to get some unexpected volcanic action here,Ó Mango said.

Mango is professor of geochemistry, geology coordinator at Castleton.

MangoÕ s courses include general chemistry, physical and historical geology, geochemistry, energy resources and hydrogeology.

Mango also teaches geology and chemistry to in-service and pre-service teachers.

She received her undergraduate degree in Geology from Williams College, and her masters and PhD degrees in geology from Dartmouth College.

In addition to Castleton College, the other participating colleges in the energy series include Community College of Vermont, Green Mountain College and College of St. Joseph.

NASA: Thanks for saving 2014 It’s what’s inside that counts

I

n these waning weeks of 2014, the U.S. news media has been consumed by its 24/7 coverage of racial strife, including Missouri riots and New York protests over alleged police brutality and the deaths of two black citizens. And just as the gloom of our nation’s failed foreign policy, its immigration and health care debacles, come home to roost and promise to turn 2014 into one of the worst years since—well—1968, a government agency, of all things, comes to our rescue and pulls America’s wounded pride from the fire yet again.

As you may recall, NASAÕ s space efforts not only saved 1968, but it seems to have also come to the rescue of this lamentable year 2014.

The U.S. space agency—one of the few shining jewels in remaining in our national crown—demonstrated, with the amazing test flight of the new Orion spacecraft Dec. 5, that all our ugly tribal infighting can be overcome when we rise above this petty planet and look up to the stars. And NASA managed to work it magic even with one hand tied behind its budgetary back.

All those ethnically diverse and smiling faces at NASA had their eyes on a prize much bigger than the earthly politics of division.

NASA’s young faces—which showed black, white, brown and yellow on the space agency’s TV network’s coverage of the Orion test flight mission—give me hope and a reason to believe that this nation is still great, and possibly the greatest, in spite of its leaders.

In the case of NASA’s new Orion spacecraft—which will someday take Americans to asteroids, the Moon and MarsÑ technical skills and the spirit of exploration, applied to a national goal, have an amazing way of uniting people.

Back in December 1968, after a year of heartbreaking Vietnam War casualties, increasing antiwar violence in the streets at home, and the tragic assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, it looked as though America’s best days were receding quickly in the rearview mirror.

The dark year of 1968 had reached its final month, when, along came NASA and the Apollo 8 mission.

Three astronauts not only orbited the Moon in December of that year, they also returned safely to Earth to cheers and parades. The feat of Apollo 8—the first piloted craft to orbit our cratered neighbor in space—galvanized the attention of the world.

When the Apollo astronauts returned home, they were greeted with cheers and tons of fan mailÑ all in the days before e-mail and social media.

Among the many fan messages was a congratulatory telegram sent to Apollo 8 astronaut Jim Lovell. The simple telegram was sent by a housewife named Valerie Pringle. ‘’You saved 1968,’’ she wrote.

Pringle’s famous telegram spoke volumes about how a single event can inspire pride and hope in a national landscape strewn with bad news.

Sure, I’ll admit that 2014 isn’t quite as bad as 1968. I was 14 years old in ‘68 and recall that gloomy year quite vividly, but it comes close.

Sure, NASA’s Dec. 5, 2014 test flight of the unmanned Orion spacecraft wasn’t as dramatic as Apollo 8, but it came close, even without a crew.

If you consider the political nonsense thrown in NASA’s path since the 1990s—everything from navel-gazing Earth-focused eco missions (violations of NASAÕ s founding space-focused mission statement) and buying Russian rocket engines (at the expense of U.S. made components) to American astronauts hitching rides aboard Soyuz capsules and the White HouseÕ s slick Ò all talk-and-noaction” space legerdemain—last week’s mission should have been an utter failure. Instead, it was a brilliant success.

At the moment of the Orion Test Flight’s launch, at 7:05 a.m. Dec. 5, the entire NASA-TV website crashed.

NASA reported that millions of viewers tuned in to view real news in the making—not a mindless rehashing (with hand wringing) of the week’s civil unrest and celebrity fondlings.

Not surprisingly, not a single TV network bothered to broadcast the Orion test. No matter, the crash of the NASA-TV showed that—despite what politicians and social critics tell us—millions of Americans remain very interestedÑ and engagedÑ in the exploration of space.

Ok, it’s time to reboot Valerie Pringle’s December 1968 telegram. Thank you, NASA. You just saved 2014, too.

Knights help build local handicap ramps

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com VERGENNES — When it comes to finding Good Samaratins, local residents donÕ t have far to seek. In the case of handicapped individuals with no way to gain access in and out of their homes, the Vergennes Knights of Columbus “Ramp Committee” came to the rescue. The committee was formed in September following two local requests for help with home handicap accessibility.

Knight John Donnelly chaired the committee with Knights

Santa’s elves help in Orwell

Paul Boivin, Bill Herrington, and Mike Kachmar.

“The goal was to provide safe access to homes occupied by handicapped individuals following ADA guidelines,” according to Donnelly. “Two ramps have been constructed and installed.”

Donnelly said material for one of the ramps was donated by R. K. Miles of Middlebury, and the other ramp was paid for by Addison County Home Health.

“Segments of the ramps were constructed during three evenings in Mike Kachmar’s workshop in Addison,” he said.

“Ramp segments were later transported to the two homes where

they were assembled.”

In addition to Donnelly and the committee members, other Knights Bill Scott, Mike Paquette, Bernie Perron, Dennis Senesac, Charlie Huizenga, Roger Brouillittee, Dave Brooks, Al Reynolds, Dave Larrow, and Jim Papagni helped with ramp construction and installation.

“The Knights have set up agreements with the recipients,” Donnelly noted. Ò Ken Huestis of Whiting and Millie Paquette of Ferrisburgh will maintain and transfer the ramps to new sites when they are no longer needed.”

In search of Middlebury’s treasures

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addion-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ The best things in life are not only free, but they are often right in front us—in our own backyards, so to speak. In the case of historic downtown Middlebury, fascinating treasures abound from classical architecture and women’s progress to astronomy and ancient history. This is the first of an occasional series in search of Addison County treasures.

MiddleburyÕ s circa 1893 grey dolostone Main Street bridge spans Otter Creek above the falls; it is a beautiful replica of RomeÕ s historic Ponte SantÕ Angelo, the Bridge of the Holy Angel, across the Tiber River.

The Italian inspiration of the Otter Creek span was built around the year 134 as a link to the giant tomb of the Emperor Hadrian.

The former tomb, of course, is todayÕ s Castel SantÕ Angelo, a papal residence.

According to Middlebury College Professor Dr. Glenn Andres, writing in his definitive 1975 history of downtown Middlebury, titled Ò A Walking History of MiddleburyÓ Ñ most recently published by the Sheldon MuseumÑ the local bridge strongly reflects the artistry of the ancient original. “...Only after lengthy debate, numerous town meetings, cancelled contracts, and the offer of a substantial subsidy of Col. Joseph Battell, could the town decide to rebuild (the downtown bridge) in stone rather than in iron,Ó according to AndresÕ guidebook.

It was Battell who urged town officials to rebuild the burned 1891 wooden bridge as a classical, yet scaled-down stone version of the ancient Roman bridge.

Move a few blocks east of Middlebury’s “Roman” bridge and you’ll find a patch of lawn with towering trees and an understated stone monument; this greenspace divides Route 7 at the Middlebury Inn and is dedicated to Emma Willard.

The monument, in plain view to passersby, honors Willard, the 19th-century pioneer in women’s higher education.

The original Emma Willard School, known as the Middlebury Female Seminary which relocated from Middlebury to Troy, N.Y., in 1814, is the stately brick building located on 131 S. Main St. It is the modern site of Middlebury College’s Financial Aid Office.

For astronomers and space buffs, the college holds another treasure—one of the first photographs ever taken of Earth’s natural satellite.

An historic, delicate silver-on-copper metal image of the Moon is on display at the Middlebury College Museum of Art at 72 Porter Field Rd. Taken by Massachusetts inventor and amateur astronomer John Adams Whipple on Aug. 6, 1851, the rare daguerreotype shows lunar surface details including craters and mountains.

Compared to todayÕ s astonishing NASA Hubble Space Telescope digital deep-space imagery, it is a tiny astronomical pic-

“The Moon,” a circa 1855 daguerreotype by John Adams Whipple on display at the Middlebury College Museum of Art. This historical astronomical image was purchased with funds provided by the Christian A. Johnson Memorial Fund and the Overbrook Foundation.

Middlebury College image

ture. Never-the-less, even measuring a mere 3.5 inches by 2.75 inches, WhippleÕ s antebellum space image is surprisingly rich in visual detail; it can be considered among the first, high-definition images of our rocky neighbor in space.

A short distance west from the college’s art museum is West Cemetery, located along South Main Street (Route 30). The town cemetery is the site of the most bizarreÑ and oldestÑ marked grave site in Vermont. A stone headstone stands above the grave of an ancient Egyptian couple, a young prince and princess, and bears these words: “Ashes of Amun-Her-Khepesh, aged 2 years, son of Sen Woset 3rd, King of Egypt, and his wife, Hathor-Hotpe, 1883 B.C.Ó The remains buried in the West Cemetery are the crumbled, cremated dust of a mummy artifact that had been housed in Henry Sheldon’s home, now the Sheldon Museum. Museum founder and collector Sheldon had acquired the mummified royal remains sometime during the 1880s.

After Sheldon died in 1907, the little mummy was misplaced amid the owner’s many tagged attic treasures. When the artifact resurfaced, probably during house cleaning in 1945, it had deteriorated to such an extent that it was decided to bury it, rather than restore it.

Middlebury resident George Meade was kind enough to donate a small portion of his family plot in the West Cemetery. He now spends eternity with his ancient Egyptian neighbors.

The West Cemetery grave of an ancient Egyptian royality Her-Khepesh and Hathor-Hotpe, a two-year-old married couple, died in 1883 B.C. There mummified remains were reburied in Middlebury in 1945.

Hi, IÕ m Jordan. I arrived at the shelter on November 21 as a stray from Rutland. I am a very busy little fella. I spend quite a bit of my time inspecting my surroundings and testing the waters. I am very affectionate and enjoy my snuggle time with people. I am enjoying meeting a lot of people here at the shelter but I think it would be neat to have a person or family all to myself. If this is something that sounds good to you, I think itÕ s time to come in. It would be a lot of fun if we could meet.

Woman cited

MENDON Ñ On Nov. 20, Jessica N. Lennon, 37, of Killington was stopped in the parking lot of Sensible Shoe on U.S. Route 4 in Rutland Town. Lennon was stopped on Route 4 near Sugar and Spice in Mendon where she was traveling at 69 mph. Lennon, under criminal suspension, had an odor of intoxicants; a preliminary breath test, resulted in a 0.129 percent BrAC. Lennon was processed for DUI.

Driver fell asleep

BRISTOL — A Vermont State Police crash investigation revealed that driver Scott Phillips, 43, fell asleep while traveling south on Route 116 in Bristol Nov. 24. Phillips recalled waking up just before his vehicle traveled off of the road and collided with a guard rail. Phillips was uninjured and the vehicle was towed away due to disabling crash damage.

Got a minute? I have a few things to tell you about me. I arrived at the shelter on Aug. 16 after a nice Samaritan found me and my kittens. They weren’t able to keep me but cared so much that they brought us to the shelter to find our new homes. I have been in foster care with my kittens and now that they are about to find homes of their own, I am starting to think about a future for me. If you are looking for a lovely young lady I think it is time for us to meet.

Homeward Bound Animal Center

Coco is a sociable little dog who enjoys walks and the company of the people he is with. He spent most of his life in Florida with another dog and then was surrendered to us when his human mother passed away. He received lots of TLC and medical care at Homeward Bound, including a dental cleaning and tooth extraction.

He was adopted out to a loving couple who cared for him for nearly a year before they too became unable to meet his needs. He is now 10 years old and really deserves a couch of his own. Like all of us as we age, CoCo has a few quirks, most noticeably is that he does not like his face and mouth handled and becomes quite snappish! He suffers from dry skin and does best on a hypoallergenic diet, as well.

Due to his age and his sensitivity to being handled, we recommend that CoCo go into a home with children who are at least 13 years old so they can appreciate his needs for peace and quiet.

If you have room in you heart and hearth this holiday season, please consider giving CoCo a home for the holidays.

Tree planting approved

MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Middlebury Select Board unanimously approved the Lions Club’s request to plant a new evergreen in Court Square, according to Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay.

The Lions Club has put lights on the existing evergreen tree in Court Square. Faced with the increasing cost of decorating and lighting the tree as it has grown over the years, however, the Lions recently reached out to the town to explore cost-sharing options for purchasing and planting a new tree in the square. At this point, town staff has identified three suitable locations in Court Square for such a tree and the Lions Club is coordinating with a local supplier on the purchase and planting of a 12-feettall white spruce, pending identification of any underground utilities. The Lions would like to have the tree in the ground by the first week of December.

Vermont A.G. silent donations to single-payer candidates Vermont Watchdog Report

By Bruce Parker

bparker@watchdog.org MONTPELIER Ñ Conclusion: Despite receiving complaints that a single-payer advocacy group haD been making potentially illegal donations to candidates, the Vermont Attorney General’s Office offered no public response in time for the Nov. 4, 2014 election.

In recent months, Vermont Leads, the top advocate of single-payer health care in Vermont, has sent campaign contributions to dozens of progressive and Democratic candidates in hopes of electing state lawmakers friendly to Gov. Peter ShumlinÕ s health care agenda.

Conclusion: Sharon Toborg, a resident of Barre who filed both formal complaints, said she has yet to receive a response from the AG’s office, despite the fact the money has been spent and election results canÕ t be reversed. Ò I think the most amazing thing is that I have heard absolutely nothing from the attorney general,” Toborg told Vermont Watchdog.

“Here we are before an election, there are concerns about what a PAC is doing, and attempts to get clarity on the law (go unanswered). …

How can you have election and campaign finance laws if the attorney general can’t even answer questions about them in a timely fashion before an election?Ó she asked.

In particular, Toborg is seeking for Sorrell to say whether Vermont Leads meets the definition of an independent-expenditure-only committee (IE PAC). In Vermont, independentexpenditure-only committees may take in unlimited contributions, but are prohibited from donating to candidates or parties.

When Vermont Watchdog asked Duane if Vermont Leads was an independent-expenditure-only committee or not, he said, Ò ItÕ s a matter under investigation, and IÕ m not going to comment in the middle of an investigation.Ó Duane added it would be imprudent to comment because the case involves potential penalties, injunctions and court action, and because the attorney general has limited authority to act based on complaints. Ò ThereÕ s a process, and the attorney general does not have the ability to unilaterally order somebody to do something they may not want to do without the intervention of a court,” Duane said.

While Duane refused to speculate what penalties Vermont Leads might incur if the contributions are illegal, he spoke generally about penalties for violating campaign finance laws. Ò (ThereÕ s) a civil penalty of up to $10,000 for each violation… There’s also allowance for injunctive relief under the same section. And if a person knowingly and intentionally violates the law, there’s a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than six months, or both. So there are criminal penalties, there are civil penalties, and then thereÕ s injunction relief

Hinesburg boater gets sentence

By Gail Callahan newmarketpress@denpubs.com

HINESBURG - Hinesburg resident Christopher Thompson is getting a second chance after he pleaded no contest last week to charges stemming from a motorboat-swimming accident in June.

Thompson faces reckless operation of a motorboat and simple assault with a weapon.

Thompson, 47, who was driving a motorboat on Lake Iroquois, ran over swimmer Jane Marinsky, a 62-year-old Buffalo, N.Y., resident, who was seriously injured in the event, and spent a few days in the intensive care unit of The University of Vermont Medical Center. Thompson’s pleas means he will avoid a permanent criminal record. His plea was entered in the Vermont Superior Court in Burlington.

According to terms of the plea deal, the pair of convictions will be removed from Thompson’s records if he refrains from getting into trouble until Oct. 1, 2015. He also must adhere to the traditional terms of probation as detailed by the state.

Also, Thompson must take and complete an online boater safety course sponsored by the U.S. Coast Guard and must pay Marinsky $750 to purchase buoys and anchoring items for people along Lake Iroquois for the upcoming season. Thompson must also spearhead the printing and distribution of some 500 pieces of literature, detailing safe recreational water activities.

At the time of the accident, Thompson was towing two people,located in the stern of the craft.

He was hosting a birthday party at his Hinesburg home. Marinski was a daily swimmer in the lake.

Alcohol wasn’t a factor in the accident.

Rutland area checkpoints warned

RUTLAND Ñ During the period starting Dec. 21 and Dec. 28, the Rutland County SheriffÕ s Department, assisted by other local Law Enforcement Agencies, will be conducting sobriety checkpoints within Rutland County. An aggressive effort will be made to identify impaired drivers on our highways. Officers will also be enforcing seat-belt, child restraint and other motor vehicle laws during these checkpoints. All motorists are urged to use a designated driver whenever necessary.

as well,” Duane said.

According to Toborg, Vermont Leads has since filed amended campaign finance disclosure forms in response to her claims, a move she says is evidence the group may have violated the law. Toborg said she is outraged at the inaction by the attorney general.

“The point of this is Vermont Leads could

have potentially spent a whole bunch of money on elections that under the law they aren’t allowed to … and the law is not monitored or fairly applied,Ó she said.

Peter Sterling, the director of Vermont Leads, didnÕ t return Watchdog.orgÕ s request for comment.

Gas: Not a Vermont solution

W

hile hundreds of Vermonters from every corner of the state clamor for a stop to the fracked gas pipeline, Steve Wark of Vermont Gas Systems (VGS) keeps asking, “How can we get gas to Rutland more quickly?” And has offered a formula to answer his question. This despite the fact that in July 2012, Mr. Wark was quoted as saying that VGS expected to reach Rutland with gas service within seven years. This quote was printed in the Addison Independent before VGS inked a deal with International Paper. Once the IP deal was reached, all of a sudden VGS would not be able to get to Rutland before 2035 unless they were allowed to bring gas to Internationl Paper first.

Unfortunately, Steve Wark’s recent purported “simple but powerful formulaÓ , Ò Phase I + Phase II = Rutland,Ó is not a formula at all.

A formula is Ò a rule or principle, frequently expressed in algebraic symbols,Ó according to dictionary.com. Instead, his is an equationÑ “an algebraic expression that asserts the equality of two quantities.”

Steve Wark’s algebraic expression asserts that the fastest way to get gas to Rutland is from Colchester through Vermont’s rural landscape and across Lake Champlain. The problem is itÕ s just that, an assertion.

Everyone knows the simple formula Wark was reaching for: The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The quick-

est pipeline route would have been straight down Route 7, where no easements or seizures via eminent domain would have been necessary because of an existing public road right-of-way. Instead, VGS chose the longest route – through towns the company thought would be pushovers because their median home values and incomes are lower than Shelburne’s and Charlotte’s.

Wark’s equation never worked by any honest interpretation, but its justification has recently become insurmountably difficult. Developments in Canada threaten both the supply and transportation cost for natural gas that VGS hopes to purchase from suppliers in Alberta, Canada, and transport through TransCanadaÕ s pipeline.

TransCanadaÕ s plan B in case the Keystone XL pipeline stalled has always been the Energy East project, which involves converting the companyÕ s natural gas transmission line into a tar sands pipeline.

We all know that Keystone XL didn’t make it through the U.S. Senate recently. What Vermonters might not know is that without Keystone XL, TransCanada will be pushing its proposed Energy East project much harder during the year-long review process of its permit application to the Canadian version of our Public Service Board.

Sophie Brochu, the CEO of Gaz Metro, VGS’ Canadian parent company and supplier of natural gas to Vermont, recently stated in a speech that the Energy East pipeline will threaten Gaz Metro’s ability to provide adequate service to customers in Canada on peak days, including industrial clients, and will cause an increase in the

cost of natural gas to consumers.

Guess what? Gaz Metro/VGS is a public utility and passes on all cost savings AND all cost increases to its customers.

VGS’ only source of natural gas is the pipeline threatened by the Energy East project, and Gaz Metro already said in its annual report a year ago that any change in transportation costs or gas supply could eviscerate the cost competitiveness of natural gas over oil.

That was BEFORE the recent 30 percent drop in the price of oil.

What does all this mean for VGS’ equation? We need to rewrite it: (Phase I + Phase II) x (gas supply reduction + gas transportation cost increases in Canada) = colossal rate hikes for VGS ratepayers + stranded fossil fuel infrastructure in Vermont + dug up farms and condemned properties – (minus) any reasonable justification whatsoever.

Any 8th grader can tell you that this new equation can be further reduced to:Phase I + Phase II = little-to-no benefit for Rutland or Vermont.

A simple but powerful formula for evaluating fossil fuel infrastructure proposals in the future might be: Ò the fastest route to renewable energy is never via fossil fuels.”

An equation would do too: New Fracked Gas Pipelines = More Climate Change.

Investigation further revealed probable cause for the seizure of CrossÕ s vehicle in order to obtain a search warrant.

During the subsequent search of the vehicle, troopers located approximately 7.3 grams of cocaine inside the vehicle.

On Nov. 14, Cross was arrested for the possession of cocaine and DUI 5. While in custody at the State Police Barracks, Cross attempted to conceal 0.3 grams of cocaine under a bench seat inside the holding cell area.

Ghosts of ski seasons past

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ On the last day of June 2012, I took the road less traveled. I wanted to flex the tires of a new automobile along a long, lazy route through a beautiful, little frequented portion of New York’s Catskill Mountain region, on a cracked, neglected concrete section of U.S. Route 209. Nestled among the trees, right along the faded county road which paralleled Route 209, were the crumbling remains of an eerie, abandoned summer resort.

During its heyday of the mid 1960s, the now abandoned Homowack Lodge had hosted top-name comedians ranging from Woody Allen and Don Rickles to Jackie Mason and Jack Carter.

Why this once thriving Ò Borshcht BeltÓ mountain resort had closed, I hadnÕ t a clue, but its ruins—which included a now eroding Olympic-size swimming pool filled with brackish water, and weed-choked tennis and shuffleboard courts—echoed with distant laughter of long-gone summer vacationers.

sadder than a lost dream.

Viewing the wreck of the Homowack reminded me of the late author John CheeverÕ s “The Swimmer,” a haunting short story—and made into a Hollywood cult movie—about the vanishing American Dream.

What I never realized, at least until I came across a fascinating book by author Jeremy Davis, is that Vermont has its own Rod Serling’s Ò Night GalleryÓ of ghost resorts, too.

DavisÕ book, titled Ò The Lost Ski Areas of Southern Vermont”, tells the story of the rise and fall of such things.

In the case of the Green Mountain State, its resort ghosts are legionÑ long-closed and forgotten, ski areas.

With the slopes of these dead resorts now largely covered with mature tree growth, and their alpine warming huts crumbled to mildewed heaps or consumed by voracious carpenter ants, these ski places take us back to a simpler timeÑ a time before apres snobs, and the gentrification of most everything, ruined CONTINUED ON PAGE 17
