Springfield cinema to reopen July

Rutland airport: flying in tough times

SPRINGFIELD — We all know now that Springfield, Vt., is the hometown of cartoon chara cter Bart Simpson.

While Bart’s blue-collar father Homer may be out of a job next year when the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant (oops, we mean the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant) closes, at least he’ll be able to watch first-r un movies at the famous Springfield Movie Theater downtown while collecting 99 weeks of unemployment compensation.

This July, Springfield’s Ellis Block cinema house—which was the scene of the world pr emiere of “The Simpsons Movie,” the first Simpsons featur e-length cartoon r eleased by Fox Studios in July 2007—will reopen after a devastating July 2008 fir e. And this July, the final Harry Potter series movie will be on one of the theater ’s thr ee new big screens.

The nonpr ofit Springfield Housing Authority has announced that a New Hampshire-based theater company will operate the theater. Bill Morlock, director of the authority , said last week that Keene Cinemas LLC will manage the r ecently r enovated $3.4 million theater.

U.S. taxpayers helped to pay for part of the re storation through a federal neighborhood grant secured thr ough U.S. Sen. patrick Leahy (D. V ermont). Additional public state funds and tax credits also helped the r econstruction.

The r ebuilt Ellis Block building i ncludes s everal apartments on the upper floors; a single wheelchair-accessible apartment is on the first floor.

The lobby of the r ebuilt cinema will occupy most of the main floor. The theater was split into thr ee theaters following the fire.

Morlock said he was applying for another state grant to help cover the cost of the additional foundation work.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — Recent news about a U.S. House bill that would eliminate passenger subsidies—called essential air services or EAS—to rural airports, including the stateowned Rutland Southern V ermont Regional Airport, has some local travelers concerned about the airport's future.

In the U.S. Senate, members’ own version of the contr oversial House bill goes in the other direction with increased funding for EAS. The Rutland airport r eceives $797,000 a year in EAS funding.

Some fiscally conservative critics say the EAS funding is a form of “corporate welfar e” that uses taxpayer funds to subsidize airlines like Rutland’s Cape Air passenger service to Boston’s Logan Airport.

However, other r ural airports r eceive triple the amount of similar EAS funding compared to Rutland.

At the Rutland airport, Massachusetts-based Cape Air is aligned with Jet Blue and, with its link between Rutland to Boston, provides See AIRPORT, page 10

Rutland Airport Manager David Carman hopes the success of passenger service at the Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport will not be set back if federal EAS taxpayer support funds are eliminated by Congress.

Killington.

Later, troopers arrested Andrew Rissman, 23, of newmarketpress@denpubs.com Rutland County for allegedly fleeing the accident scene and for driving drunk.

KILLINGTON — A Vermont State Police K-9 Several eyewitnesses claimed that they saw the unit was instrumental in tracking down a man police allege was involved in an alcohol-related ve- driver, alleged to have been Rissman, flee the scene following the crash. The whereabouts of the hicular accident.

WEST RUTLAND — The town of West Rutland r ecently learned that it has been awarded two grants; one that will improve accessibility to the town library and another that will help fund a local, af fordable housing revolving loan fund.

The grants are part of the Community Development Block grant program, which was announced by Gov. Peter Shumlin at the Forest Park housing pr oject in Rutland last week.

One grant for $1 million was awar ded to NeighborWorks of Western Vermont — through the town of W est Rutland — to be able to continue its af fordable housing r evolving loan fund.

“We serve three counties in southern and central Vermont,” NeighborWorks Executive Director Ludy Biddle said in a recent interview. “So it is very important that we are able to continue providing these services.”

A nonprofit organization, NeighborWorks offers low-interest loans to low and moderate-income Vermont homeowners in Rutland, Addison and Bennington counties for upgrades and r epairs. Many of these loans

have been focusing on ener gy ef ficiency projects and upgrades, which also helps to support local construction management and revolving loan funds.

“In working with our partners, we will be able to r etrofit 40 per cent of the homes in Rutland Cou nty for ener gy savings, cr eate an estimated 352 jobs and show the entir e country what a single county in V ermont can do with resources and the determination to get it done,” Biddle said.

The other grant of $50,000 awar ded to West Rutland, will help to impr ove accessibility at the W est Rutland Fr ee Library which is located on Main Str eet. The funds will be used to bring the library up to compliance with the American with Disabilities Act by installing a new elevator , modify an existing r estroom as well as constr ucting a new one.

Other partners playing a key role in these projects include Efficiency Vermont, Central Vermont Public Service, Gr een Mountain College, the Rutland Regional Planning Commission, and several local retailers and banks. Other Southern V ermont towns which r eceived grants include Bradfor d, Waitsfield, Gr oton, Bennington, Chelsea, Barton and Saxtons River.

Agriculture focus of April 15 panel POULTNEY — Green Mountain College’s Fifth Annual Young Alumni Weekend begins Friday , April 15, which is just about the time the college’s Cerridwen Farm is pr eparing for another planting season.

Many GMC graduates have gone into sustainable farming for a living — and as a way of life. Some of these entr epreneurs will be returning to the college to discuss their perspectives on the slow food movement and the importance of growing food safely and sustain-

ably at a panel discussion Friday, April 15, from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Gor ge, W ithey Hall.

The panel will be moderated by Pr ofessor Philip Ackerman-Leist, who founded the college’s Farm and Food Project in 1996.

Panelists include Karin Bellemare ‘09 and Jon Wagner-Herbert ’09 of Sunset Beach Farm in Sag Harbor , N.Y.; Joe Bossen ’08 of V ermont Bean Crafters, Pittsfield, Vt.; India Burnett Farmer ’ 01, o f t he R utland Area Farm and Food Link

(RAFFL) Pr oject Coor dinator and Northeast Vine Supply, Pawlet, Vt.; Keith Drinkwine, ’10 of Kilpatrick Family Farm, Granville, N.Y.; and Erika Krauss ’09, Two Sisters Gar den and Landscaping in Pike, N.H. The format of the panel will be “question and answer,” and the audience is invited to participate. Refreshments and appetizers featuring local foods will be provided by the Gr een Mountain Slow Food Club.

The public is invited to attend.

ing pioneer Adir ondacker Verplank Colvin’s survey data of the 1870s because of various err ors. So the RPI field trip didn’t amount to much. Using the 1990s data, RPI r esearchers plan to recheck the GPS results in 10 years.

Regardless, Kelly backed up some of his late colleague’s claims— •The Adirondacks are not “old” by standar ds of deep geological time (however, they ar e composed of very ancient, metamorphosed sedimentary and igneous rocks).

•Dr. Isachsen believed the Adirondacks started forming 5-10 million years ago; Dr. Kelly believes they ar e older—up to 130 million years old.

•The Adirondacks appear to be growing, but probably not at a rate faster than the Alps as claimed during the 1990s (1 millimeter per year).

•The Adirondacks are not a pr oduct of Ice Age r ebound.

Kelly said many domical

mountains ar e associated with hot spots. But in some cases, as seen on other planets, huge aster oid impacts can create dome mountains.

In Africa several dome mountains ar e er upting lava. Isachsen believed lava might someday br eak through the r ocks of the Adirondacks. It won’t happen—if it happens at all—for millions of years in the future, Kelly said.

The summit r ocks of the Adirondack High Peaks were formed 1.1 billion years ago. Called anorthosite, these r ocks closely resemble rocks found in the Moon’s highlands; samples wer e br ought back to Earth by NASAastronauts in the 1970s. Unlike lunar anorthosite, which is not metamorphosed, Adir ondack anorthosite r ock has been “cooked” in the subterranean deeps befor e being exposed in mountain peaks.

According to Dr. Isachsen, ground-truth bolster ed his hot-spot theory at the famous carbonated springs bubbling up ar ound Sarato-

ga Springs, N.Y. “The Island Spouter (spring) in Saratoga Springs State Park blows ten feet into the air like a geyser,” he once said in a public radio interview. “Driven by carbon dioxide pr essure, it er upts like an impr operly opened bottle of champagne.

Although lacking the drama of a volcano, the spring marks a deep scar in the Earth where ancient r ocks of the Canadian Shield continue to rise above the lowlands of the young Adirondacks.”

“You know, I loved Yngvar like a br other,” Kelly said, “but I still can’t agr ee with all of his scientific claims. But he posed some very intriguing questions.

Despite all the new data, the Adirondacks r emain a mystery waiting to be solved.”

“The surface of the Earth exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.”— Will Durant One million years ago— before there was an Adirondack Park with seasonal tourist attractions, envir onmental r egulations, beaver ponds, and imaginary Blue Lines—there was a vast untamed wilderness of mountain rock and ice. It is doubtful that ther e wer e many trees or even much wildlife in the arctic-like terrain.

But go back 10-15 million years, or even more, and the Adirondack Mountains we know today may have been barely noticeable, at least according to a fascinating theory championed by a maverick New York geologist who died in 2001.

At that remote moment in time, the geologist claimed, the climate was warmer and the Adirondacks wer e literally new-born mountains— the result of a “domical uplift” that continues to the present day.

During the Miocene Epoch, the theory states, deep below the futur e State of New York, a molten hot spot—caused by the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium—began heating subsurface r ocks causing them to expand and rise through the r ock layers above it.

For mor e than 30 years, the late Dr. Yngvar Isachsen, a Cornell University trained geologist, challenged longheld beliefs about the age and origin of the Adirondacks. But some of Isachsen’s conclusions have been, in turn, challenged by new data collected by the New York State Geological Survey and other sources.

Dr. William M. Kelly, chief geologist of New York State, said ther e’s mor e r esearch needed to fully understand the origin and age of the Adirondacks.

According to Kelly , his late colleague, Dr . Isachsen, studied the upstate mountain range in depth and corrected many long held myths about the Empir e State’s big peaks. However , he’s not sur e the mountains are rising as rapidly as Isachsen claimed. Instead, he blames instrument data and inaccurate, older data on any confusion.

“More r ecent r ock-dating data suggests ther e’s a longer, slower rise going on—maybe starting 130 million years ago,” Kelly said.

“Yet the edges of the mountain dome appear younger .

But even with that said, why are these mountains rising so far fr om a plate boundary? Maybe Yngvar ’s hotspot theory will pr ove to be as good an explanation as any o ther. M aybe t here’s a plume of magma stuck to the bottom of the continental plate? We just don’t know.”

In the late 1990s, Kelly said, a r esearch team fr om Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute conducted a global positioning system (GPS) study of the High Peaks r egion to see if the Adirondacks wer e rising rapidly .

The team camped out and collected data for 72 hours.

They discovered they couldn’t get a r eliable answer— they couldn’t compar e their data to existing data includ-

Opinion

From the Editor

April 13, 2011

Things to come

kay, I confess. I like Middlebury’s sleek new downtown Cross Street Bridge with its quaint, faux Euro traffic rotary. The multimillion dollar bridge may not be the Ponte Vecchio or the Golden Gate, but it’s Middlebury’s little span-of-attention-getting.

But with my tr ue bridge confessions comes a nagging reservation about ultimate solutions to big pr oblems facing V ermont communities along U.S. Route 7.

It is unlikely Route 7 will be upgraded to multiple lanes in our lifetime—possibly never. What does that mean for the future of life and travel along the congested, stressed Route 7 corridor north of Rutland?

Well, in the case of Middlebury, I believe that the community would have been better served with a modern bridge constructed at the site of the old Thr ee-Mile Cover ed Bridge. That wooden span was destro yed by an arson fire back in 1958 and never rebuilt.

But so far , Middlebury’s new bridge appears to be the latest fix to the shire town’s traffic woes. But you must sur ely r ealize that these woes are not going away? Barring a national calamity, there will still be automobiles and trucks bearing commuters and products of commerce.

Just last year Montpelier of ficials reported that town bypasses ar e no longer on the table for discussion. Oh, really? How about in another 20-25 years? What will the Montpelier mahdis of the misty future have to say about bypasses then?

Neither automobiles—whether power ed by gasoline, diesel, photovoltaics, CVPS cowgas or yet-to-be-invented Mr. Fusion home appliances—nor us V ermonters ar e going away soon or are we about to change our driving habits.

So, at some moment of futur e time, Middlebury’s downtown traffic congestion will become unsustainable, at least to most residents and mer chants. What then? I give it 10-20 years.

Of course, it’s easy to see why downtown Middlebury mer chants have adopted the new bridge as their own. Ther e were some grumbles early on, but those voices have quieted down since last October ’s ribboncutting. Now it appears the downtown traffic pr oblem has been solved. But then there’s that uncertain word appears.

Overall, town of ficials behind Middlebury’s new bridge deserve praise for tackling a tough issue and moving ahead with

this interim solution. But then ther e’s that awkward wor d interim. We know that the Cross Str eet Bridge is r eally just a temporary fix.

Gaze, if you will, into my crystal ball.

There swirls the shapes of things to come in the borderlands of Que Sera Sera land.

Ah! It’s coming into focus now. See it?

Through the mists of the futur e we see Middlebury (and Leicester , Brandon, Pittsford and Rutland) in the year 2020. These communities continue to wrestle with staggering Route 7 traf fic volumes. Funny how the old r oad r emains nearly unchanged from the 1990s. It is still a two-lane living fossil of the 20th century; no passing lanes, no incr ease in the speeding limit fr om decades earlier. In Middlebury, we see that the Cross Street span, built in 2010, did not fix the ever -increasing commuter and commercial traffic downtown.

And with mor e people moving to V ermont after the boom of the post-2016 election, ther e ar e now well over 40,000-plus motor vehicles per day rolling up and down narrow Route 7.

And despite millions of taxpayer funds spent on alternative plans, passenger support of commuter rail and public buses r emains anemic in 2020. Tourists and a few locals like the train, but most prefer the independence of navigating their own gr ound vehicles to work, shopping, and picking the kids up at school.

Since t he p lan o f a w estside a utobahn, linking Fair Haven with Burlington, was voted down in 2018, the dr eaded Middlebury Bypass has r eturned to Middlebury voters. It is unknown if the bypass will be approved. But other solutions appear unsatisfactory, too.

Our glimpse into the future rapidly fades from view as the mists cloud our far sight.

Back to 2011.

A bypass around Middlebury may not be built by 2020, but such a multi-lane jug-handle spur around downtown will have to be seriously considered just as other V ermont towns along U.S. Route 7 will have to face.

What an absur d scenario, you say . Per haps, but can any of us be so certain of the shape of things to come?

It’s not just about the groceries

S

ome years ago, I designed a bumper sticker with a picture of AFLAC’s whitefeathered foul mascot and the following text: “The Second Amendment—It’s Not Just about Duck Hunting”.

Too bad the NRA wasn’t interested in my idea—apparently unwilling to be associated with any of Thomas Jefferson’s “tr ee of liberty“ concepts. But the phrase structure has some transfer value: consider, for example, the current malaise (excuse the semi-pun noun choice) about government health care plans and the unpublicized program of one of the nation’s lar gest supermarket chains to pr ovide health insurance for its employees.

What I r efer to is popularly called the Safeway Plan. It’s partially based on the politically incorr ect notion of individuals being held, at least somewhat fiscally r esponsible, for the personal-health consequences of the behavioral choices they embrace (like smoking, drinking, snorting cocaine, etc.).

Because the conv entional wisdom is biased in a far more collectivist direction—the community rating system, wher eby everyone pays the same health insurance costs irrespective of how prudently (or not) he/she conducts his/her own af fairs (pun intended)—Safeway is now better r ecognized for its niche at the retail end of the farm-to-consumer food chain than it is for its re markable

foray into r ewarding personal r esponsibility in an era when political corr ectness calls for just the opposite.

That’s why I say , Safeway isn’t just about groceries.

Historically, the supposedly unique Safeway Plan—insurance pr emiums vary according to risk assessment— is actually more the norm than the typical community rating.

From the venerable Lloyds of London to domestic fire insurance to auto insurance, statisticallybased risk assessment has always been the usual practice. The concept of community rating is a newer, left-leaning, ideologically driven concept. Contrast it to Safeway’s statistically driven principle.

It’s based on two insights, accor ding to Safeway CEO Steven Bur d in a 2009 W all Street Journal interview.

“The first is that 70 per cent of all health care costs are the direct result of behavior.

The second insight, which is well under stood by the providers of health care, is that 74 percent of all costs are confined to four chronic conditions (cardio-vascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity).

“Furthermore, 80 percent of cardio-vascular disease and diabetes is pr eventable, 60 percent of cancers are preventable, and more than 90 per cent of obesity is pr eventable,” Burd said.

Thoughts on shutting down the government

T

hey might shut the government down. The politicians have said they might shut the government down. Okay, I hear them, but I don’t have a clue what that means. Do you?

I don’t know why they might shut it down, don’t know when, for how long, or how they’ll start it back up when what ever needs to happen for them to start it up happens.

I only know as recent as this morning I’ve been hearing they might shut the government down. That’s all I know. Yet I haven’t checked if it’s shut down or not. I should because it might mean no mail. If the government shuts down today, should I skip stopping at my mail box? Should I just r oll right on by? If the government shuts down it might mean we’ll save ungodly amount of tax money on government salaries. It might mean the guys filling potholes in our r oads will stop filling them, and this time of year , here in Vermont, that would suck.

Will our troops get time off? Will the wars we’re fighting end, if the government shuts down? I don’t know.

The they, in the who might be shutting the government down, might not be they, the they might be the who, who is the Pr esident, deciding if the government will be shut down. That’s a muddled sentence if I’ve ever written one. I should be a politician.

But, I think the they is the they, not just the President. You know what? I don’t think a President has much say so about much, really.

I never, ever, ever, have done online (news) research for a column until now on this shutdown, and I found if ther e is a shutdown, the IRS will stop processing paper tax returns,

the Small Business Administration will stop making loans, and federal home loan guarantees will be put on hold.

National Institutes of Health would stop accepting new patients and would put clinical trials on hold. Institutions like the Smithsonian would close. The Cherry Blossom parade in D.C. won’t be happening. True.

Here’s the kicker, U.S. troops would be paid through Friday, but after then, paychecks to members of the military , including those in war zones, would stop.

“Essential” government employees will still be able to work; those consider ed “nonessential” w ould n ot. All t hese t hings were on CNN and or Fox news websites.

Sounds like the congr ess and senate folks will still work and get paid; “legislative and judicial branches would be in accord ance and go on with their own shutdown plans.” Their own plans?

See, that’s a muddled line too right, fr om the politicians.

Politicians are so cool. They r eally rake it in. I don’t begrudge them a cent of it either.

They worked themselves in those seats, and we all had the same chance, so good for them.

I’ll tell you though, it’s awful we citizens think those politician folks are crooked. They may be, but it’s awful we think they are, because thinking they ar e doesn’t make anything better. And sur ely some of them ar en’t cr ooked. Many of them are well meaning. Course, so was the town administrator when he took the job. Then he used the town gas car d for his personal car — then he used town petty cash on lunch — then he drove the company truck to summer league softball games — then he stole $157,766 dollars from the safe.

catherine.oliverio@rswsu.org POULTNEY — Two Poultney eighth graders, Sam White and V incent Kendall, traveled with a gr oup of 25 members of United Methodist Chur ch to the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky to participate in the Red Bir d Mission Conference.

Rev. David Adams said that the conference started in 1921.

“We extend ourselves on faith to help those in need,” he said.

Most of the gr oup r epaired the r oof of a house. Kendall worked on the roof of a fr ont por ch called a stoop, and White renovated a bathroom.

“It felt r eally good to help people,” said White, “and it was gre at exploring Kentucky.”

Kendall said, “I felt the same, and we rode down in style in a limo.”

Adams said, “One of the scheduled vans br oke down, so we wer e given a limo.”

Both students learned a gr eat deal about teamwork and the harshness of true poverty.

“You should really be grateful,” said White. “People ther e need, and all we do is want, want, want. Remember each day is a gift, that is why they call it the present.”

In or der to attend the confer ence, each participant had to contribute $600, which many did not have.

POULTNEY — Vermont author Ivor Hughes was at Hermit Hill Books on Main Str eet in Poultney r ecently for book signings and a talk about his new biography of inventor David Edwar d Hughes. The author is not elated r to the inventor.

Hughes’ book, “Befor e W e W ent Wireless,” is an in-depth biography of David Edwar d Hughes, the first book to explor e the life and times of 19thcentury inventor and experimenter David Edward Hughes.

A contemporary of Edison and Bell, Hughes made major contributions in telegraphy, telephony, metal detection, and audiology; he sent and r eceived

wireless signals in 1879, 16 years befor e Marconi.

Faced with the skepticism of his scientific peers who discounted his r esearch, Hughes’ accomplishments were only r ecognized years later , the author claims.

The book, the result of over a decade of r esearch in libraries, ar chives, and museums—as well as with access to all of Hughes’s private papers and visits to places where he lived and worked in the UK, U.S. and Euro pe—is an account of a V ictorian scientist whose inventions laid the foundations of the Communications Age. Author Hughes, a local resident, retired from a career in both the U.K. and America in the telecommunications and aerospace industry.

“Before We Went W ireless” is published by Images Fr om the Past and is available thr ough many local bookshops.

Addressing composition in the curriculum for classr oom music, theory and composition courses, and instr umental and vocal ensembles is being achieved through a variety of activities.

Using specific instrument guidelines, Martin composed a piece of music in four months. He worked on the piece, and submitted it online to have other teachers, students, and composers give him feedback. He had a choice to accept the suggestions or write back why he did not want to use the advice. Martin submitted the final version on March 30. Out of 65 pieces, Martin was one of the 24 students selected to have his piece performed by pr ofessional musicians at a live concert. Martin will be able to work with the pr ofessional musicians in a r ehearsal giving his thoughts and r eflections on how he wants his piece to sound.

His piece along with the other 23 student pieces will be performed on Thurs., April 28, at 6:30 p.m. in the Chandler Center for the Arts, Randolph, Vt. The performance is open to the public, and a small donation is recommended to attend the concert.

Interstellar messages

W

hat would happen if terrestrial audio-and-visual signals, dating back to the Golden Age of Television, were detected by extraterrestrials on distant planets? Is such an idea possible? And what would extraterrestrials make of our earliest T.V. signals?

Most T.V. channels straddle the 54–890 MHz (megahertz) frequency band. But even as technology changes, and mor e closed circuit-type T .V. transmission methods ar e used en masse, it is likely that future video signals will still leak into space. But for our discussion, we’r e inter ested in those early br oadcast analog T .V. signals—signals out there. Somewhere.

Even with today’s digital television r etooling ef forts, television is disseminated widely by an old medium— radio transmission. Br oadcast T .V., in its purest sense, is a form of radio; that is, radio with pictures.

Earth’s earliest, far -ranging video signals were German propaganda broadcasts between the 1930s and mid 1940s. While its video propaganda plans never panned out, the socialist Nazi government had hoped to equip every German household with a fr ee T.V. set. While the technology existed for German television by the mid 1930s, the cost of CRT (cathode-ray tube) manufacturing and the infant medium’s transmission infrastructure remained elusive. Hilter ’s opening remarks at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games appear to qualify it as the first deep-space signal.

Radio astr onomer Chris Davis, of Britain’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, claims th at t errestrial T .V.-radio s ignals like the Nazicasts of the ‘30s and ‘40s could be picked up on distant planets with the proper hardware and software.

“A good amount of Earth’s artificial radiowaves, like the shortwave fr equency

variety, never get past the ionospher e,” Davis said in a r ecent BBC interview .

“However, m odern b roadcast t elevision signals can pier ce the atmospher e. These signals easily traverse space at the speed of light.”

But as these signals cr oss interstellar medium, they would become very dif fuse and dif ficult to focus at the receiving end.

“There are two things that you would need to get such a signal—firstly, it has to be able to leave our planet, secondly it would have to have as much power as possible,” Davis noted. “As you go into space that power would dissipate. They would need more and mor e sensitive equipment to pick it up.”

I’m sur e that if advanced civilizations exist, they will have the ability to detect Earth’s faintest television-radio signals. Of the question, what would aliens make of these signals, well, that’s anybody’s guess.

But, somewhere—out there—the television br oadcasts of the Apollo 1 1 lunar landing, and original episodes of “Star Trek” and “The Brady Bunch” ar e approaching the r ecently discover ed planetary system of Zeta Reticuli.

Farther out into space, the original broadcast s ignals o f “ The L one R anger” and “Howdy Doody” are approaching the planets orbiting Pi Mensae.

And reaching even farther into the vastness of the Milky Way, hypothetical extraterrestrials 73 light years distant may be watching humanity’s first interstellar greeting—from none other than Adolph Hitler.

Does Vermont really want commuter rail?

As I traveled to the capital of Vermont for a recent meeting with of ficials in char ge of our transportation system, I wonder ed if Vermont r eally wants a commuter rail system?

At the Montpelier meeting, state of ficials said they want to see commuter rail her e, but I have been hearing this idea expr essed for years and still nothing has been done about it to make it a reality—except for an endless outlay of taxpayer money to ascertain the answer to this riddle of the rails.

At the r ecent public transportation meeting, I give the officials my advice as a member of the Railway Service Corp. (RSC) in Vermont. (Please feel fr ee to check out our firm online at: http://railway-servicecorp.com.)

RSC was founded for the purpose of developing rail passenger service to be operated on a “for pr ofit” basis. One of the rail projects in the RSC portfolio is the development of a private sector solution to transform Amtrak into a commercially viable enterprise.

The goal of RSC is to r estructure Amtrak in order to achieve long-term gro wth that results in gr eater market shar e and ther eby creates greater shareholder value.

Some of the market trends that create this opportunity and the need for rail passenger and expr ess intermodal fr eight service include chr onic air and highway congestion, environmental and financial constraints to build new airports and highways, declining worldwide oil pr oduction, incr eased demand for oil in China and India, the doubling of U.S. freight demand by 2020, chronic truck driver shortages and the doublingof

the senior citizen population by 2030.

Getting back to the r ecent Montpelier transportation meeting—a week passed and I heard nothing from the presiding officials, not even a “thank you” for sharing RSC’s ideas and insight.

So here we are again, asking the same old question: Does Vermont really want a commuter rail system? And why are we relying on Amtrak which cannot exist without federal subsidies from tapped-out taxpayers?

Here is my answer to these questions: Given the history of U.S. rail—including the legislative history and attempts at privatization (yes, ther e have been companies that wanted to acquir e passenger r outes fr om Amtrak)—there appears to be no way, whatsoever, in which a rail plan could possibly work, that is, at least not without dir ect sponsorship and support from the Washington, D.C. In r eality, money has absolutely nothing to do with this privatization effort. The U.S. Government still controls Amtrak and it has appears to have n o inter est in doing anything about the drain on taxpayers.

So, if we seriously want commuter rail in Vermont, we’re going to need public support in order to make it a reality. Our leaders appear unwilling to do anything.

RSC’s private sector initiative will transform our nation’s rail passenger service into an exciting rail travel experience for passengers with service innovations that include new trains, new amenities and onboar d services. To get involved, please call us at 802-989-1117.

Life after incarceration

By Mary McCallum

mccallumjustice@gmail.com Most people have never given a thought to what it would be like to re-enter society after a period of incarceration. The Springfield Restorative Justice Center , which focuses on r ebuilding community connections and repairing harm, will host an eye-opening workshop for the public on April 21 that will addr ess the issues faced by that population.

During the four -hour Of fender Re-Entry Simulation, each participant will get to walk in the shoes of a formerly incarcerated person coming home to the community .

The afternoon will be br oken into 15-minute blocks of time, each representing one week in which they must accomplish a list of tasks.

Each r eturning of fender will have to r eport to their probation of ficer, find employment, transportation, housing, food and clothing, as well as attend A.A. or N.A. meetings, counseling, and medical appointments.

At the same time, they will have to pay child support, provide r estitution and make sur e they follow all the rules and r egulations of the conditions of pr obation. If they are unsuccessful, they will face sanctions or a possible return to prison, just as er al offenders do when they fail to comply with expectations.

Even with the best planning, participants will discover the fr ustration in making contact with service providers, wher e lines ar e long and of fices sometimes closed. Compounded by a lack of funds and transportation, two of the most challenging issues r eturning prisoners face, the experience can be stressful and difficult.

Without support on the outside many will fail.

The public is invited to observe a fr ee pr ogram on Thursday, April 21, 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., at the T urning Point Recovery Center , at the end of Pearl Str eet in Springfield. Ther e are a limited number of seats available. RSVP by calling 802-885-8707 or springfieldrjc@vermontel.net.

Horse museum is downtown asset Nat’l Museum of the Morgan Horse

MIDDLEBURY — The National Museum of the Mor gan Horse is a non-profit devoted to preserving the history of the Morgan Horse.

The museum operates a gallery space in downtown Middlebury that features quarterly rotating exhibits. The museum maintains an archive of Morgan horse related materials and ephemera at the Middlebury College Library . The archive is open to researchers by appointment.

Legend has it that in 1789 a man named Justin Mor gan moved his family fr om Springfield, Massachusetts to Randolph, Vermont. Justin Mor gan r eturned to Springfield to collect a debt fr om his old neighbor , and the neighbor had no money to give. In its place, he gave Justin Morgan one adult horse and one colt. Justin Morgan brought the horses back to Randolph. The colt’s name was Figure, and turned out to be the sir e of the entir e Mor gan br eed. All Mor gan horses can be traced back to Figur e, who later became known by his owner ’s name, Justin Morgan.

Morgan horses played an important r ole in the early history o f Vermont. P ioneers u sed t he M organ t o c lear t heir rocky, wooded land. They used the horses as entertainment in trotting races after a long day’s work. Mor gan horses were used in battle, in farming and as driving horses. The versatility, intelligence, stamina and ability of Mor gans to go far

on a small amount of feed made them perfect horses for the rugged, cold terrain of Vermont.

Currently the museum is featuring a photographic exhibit on the Lippitt Morgan. Lippitt Morgans are Morgan horses with no 20th century outcrosses to other breeds. The photographs range fr om the early 1900s to the 1960s, and they show Mor gans in candid poses with the people that work with them. The exhibit includes information aboutA. Fullerton Phillips and Robert Lippitt Knight, two early V ermont Morgan horse breeders.

move passengers aboard their fleet of Cessna 402s.”

Cape Air ’s fleet of Cessna 402s was apparently a good investment.

The twin-piston driven, nine-seat aircraft has an excellent safety record. For the short one-hour hop fr om Rutland to B oston, the Cape Air Cessna 402 is a comfortable air craft for passengers typically squeamish of pr opeller aircraft. And if there's a weather problem for the Cessnas, CapeAir provides comfortable gr ound transportation to BostonLogan or other regional airports for on-time connections.

On the subject of business conducted through the airport, Carman noted that he recently met a California businessman who regularly flies between Los Angeles and Rutland to deal with commer cial inter ests here.

“He said that if the airline service didn’t exist, he’d have to spend mor e money and drive fr om Boston or Albany to conduct business in Rutland County , jeopar dizing business relationships,” Carman said.

“That’s why an airport like this one is essential for many local businesses. It’s also an avenue through which local businesses to expand.”

Carman noted that r ecent navigation- infrastructure upgrades at the airport have increased its value among pilots and commercial air inter ests. It also makes the airport more a ccessible i n i nclement w eather a nd expands safety margins for pilots.

“We’re in the midst of completing our instrument landing system orILS,” he said. “It will be completed next year.”

According to Carman, an ILS system is a ground-based instr ument appr oach system that pr ovides pr ecision guidance to an aircraft approaching and landing on a runway.

It u ses a c ombination of r adio s ignals a nd lighting arrays during low ceilings or r educed visibility due to fog, rain, or blowing snow.

Currently the EAS subsidy pr ovided approximately $50 to $80 per passenger enplanement, which is r elatively low compared to the national average.

Carman said that “air service is a critical component for economic development as it links us to the outside world.Any reduction in service would be detrimental to the business community.”

For instance, the time and money a company saves by having an employee fly out of Rutland can equate to hundr eds of dollars and time savings—these savings add up to a business located in our area.

Carman admits that elimination of the ESA subsidy to Cape Air would hurt the airport’s ability to meet the community’s needs, but it would not be a death blow to the airport as has been incorr ectly reported elsewhere.

“The airport is a state-owned and operated airport, and we would continue to serve freight, business, charter, and general aviation flights,” he said.

Vermont racing season starts April 17 From News Reports

WATERBURY — After what was by anyone’s standards a disappointing 2010 season for long-time American Canadian T our (ACT) veterans Jean-Paul Cyr and Br ent Dragon, both fr om Milton, both expect the opening event of the season at Lee USA Speedway on Sunday, April 17, 2011 to be a chance to get things turned into a positive change of direction.

Cyr is a seven-time ACT Champion and saw his long-standing championship record tied by Brian Hoar fr om W illiston, Vt. in 2010. Cyr r eturned to ACT racing after taking a year to compete at Thunder Road Speedbowl in Barre, Vt. in 2009. He won the King of the Road title that season. He had a

slow start coming back to the ACT at the beginning of 2010, and by his own admission was really never a contender.

“It was a very fr ustrating year of racing last season. We got off to a tough start and I made the decision to go back to owning my own team after a few races. I appre ciated the support fr om various owners over the past seasons, which allowed me to do some pretty neat things like race in the Baja 500 and 1000 motor cycle races, but I am also pr etty competitive and felt I might have lost a little of the competitive edge on the o Tur,” said Cyr. “We have put together a very good team and have worked all winter changing things around on the new car we purchased a year ago. I hope the changes will give me a chance to win some races this year , and with some luck, maybe even get back to the championship. It is not going to be easy , but I am excited again and anxious to get started,” concluded Cyr. Brent Dragon has also made significant changes to his pr ogram during the of f-season. Dragon decided to cut back so that he could be better pr epared for the events he decided to enter in 2011.

“I just r eached a point wher e competing for wins on the Tour had become so difficult over the past few years, I just didn’t have the time or team to feel that we were always 100 percent capable of racing up front. That was a lousy feeling, so I decided to cut back to about half the schedule in hopes that I could compete better in fewer events by being better prepared,” said Dragon.

In a surprise announcement two weeks ago, Dragon and the Avery race team announced a kind of merger of the two teams.

(WMMP) owners completed a deal to field their ACT Late Model car with Br ent Dragon as driver for the other half of the events that make up the ACT schedule in 2011 that Dragon would have missed.

“This is r eally a gr eat deal for us,” said Dragon.

“Donnie, David and T eri Avery ar e very busy operating WMMP during the peak of the season, but they also love to be involved with some of the ACT races, so this is a winwin for both of our race teams. We can split up the pr eparation time. I have driven the

Avery’s Distance race car, which is very similar to my car, so that should work out well.

We are looking to be competitive and have a lot of fun with this arrangement.”

Dragon will drive the Avery car, formerly driven by Ben Rowe of T u rner, ME, at the Lee USA New Hampshire Governor’s Cup traditional opener on Sunday , April 17. Over 40 Late Model teams fr om thr oughout New England, New York, and Quebec are expected to attempt qualifying for one of the 30 starting spots.

Raiders baseball team off to a fast start Get In The Game

A View on Sports by Joe Milliken

By Joe Milliken newmarketpress@denpubs.com

RUTLAND — It didn’t take long for the Rutland High School baseball team to get their bats going in the season opener , scoring three runs in the third inning and

on their way to a convincing 7-1 win over the Burr & Burton Academy Bulldogs at Giorgetti Park in Rutland.

The Bulldogs actually got on the board first, scoring their only r un of f Rutland starter Billy Olsen in the top of the third, on an error and RBI-single by Zach Thompson. It could have been more, but a Bulldog r unner was cut down at the plate after trying to catch the defense off guard.

Trailing by a r un, the Raiders br oke out in the bottom of the inning, scoring three runs off Bulldog starter Ed Lewicki on back-to-back walks, an RBI-single fr om Nate Swahn and a two-run triple from Sam Major. It turned out to be all the runs Rutland would need in this one.

The Raiders would get three more runs in the fifth inning off Burr & Burton reliever Jake Oliver on a two-run double

Subscribe to the Zen of Little League More than two million kids fr om ar ound the world will play on 7,000 baseball Little League teams this year.

These children, ages 13 and younger, are taking part in a tradition that spans nearly 70 years. Par ents across the world enroll their childr en in Little League not just to learn the sport, but to learn the ethics and team spirit associated with the great American pastime.

“What is on the field is an imitation of human life,” said Dan Liberthson, PhD., and author of the new book “The Pitch is on the Way: Poems about Baseball and Life.”

Liberthson said taking part in baseball games and watching the professionals on the field are fantastic ways to teach children the basic morals and guidelines of life.

“For 130 years we’ve been cheering for players to battle each other and challenge themselves on the ball field. No other sport is quite as American or inspirational.”

Parents want to give their children the tools for a successful and enjoyable life. Little League, Pony League, college, and professional baseball are great ways to build the foundational skills kids need to become adults. In praise of Liberthson’s book, Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig agr eed: “The great American pastime isn’t just a sport —it’s a chance to learn skills that guide Americans through all the pitfalls

the world can throw at us.”

Liberthson’s poems point out four life lessons both adults and childr en can get fr om baseball if they know wher e to look: •Failure, Injury, and Defeat Are as Much a Part of the Game as Success. As Liberthson points out in his poem “The Mound,” about a pitcher yanked from the game, we can all blow it, but we need to pick ourselves up and try again.

•Don’t Relegate Yourself to the Dugout. A player might miss one opportunity and lose his focus for the r est of the game. He becomes obsessed with that one early mistake and can’t recover. It is the same with life: if you dwell on your past mis-step, you’ll never get a foothold on future success.

•Don’t Let the Hecklers Get You Down. In many games, some fan is shouting above the crowd for the batter to miss, or the pitcher to throw badly, or deriding the umpire’s calls.

Taking such spiteful criticism to heart will only r uin the player ’s pleasur e in the game and his chance of winning.

“Everywhere in life you r un into people r ooting for you to fail,” said Liberthson. “Look at these pr ofessional athletes on the field and think about how the rival team is hoping they’ll fall flat on their faces. Still, these men often manage to succeed. It’s a good lesson for life: ignore unhelpful criticism if you are giving the game your best. You won’t have a chance to win if you don’t stop beating yourself and letting the hecklers beat you.”

•You Can’t W in By Yourself. Baseball is a team sport.

Sure, some teams have high-paid ‘hot shots,’ but without nine players on each team and many support staf f there is no game. The same is true of life: you can be the best at what you do, but if you’r e not surr ounded by good, supportive people whom you tr eat well, your chances of enjoying the experience are zero.

“Life is hard, but at its core life is a game, a serious game.

Maybe who wins or loses the game isn’t as important as how a player feels about the job he’s done as he walks of f the field,” Liberthson said.

from Major and an RBI-single from Mike McMahon to make it 6-1. Rutland would score one more run in the sixth when Troy Davine scored on a wild pitch.

The starter Olson gave up just one run over four inning to get the win, while sophomor e r eliever Eric Godzik also pitched well, giving up just one hit and no r uns over thr ee innings. Davine also pitched the seventh, giving up no hits while striking out two.

At pr ess time, it was a good start to the season for Rutland, 1-0,. Due to bad field conditions, the Raiders had actually only stepped on the field for thr ee or four practices before the season got under way . The Bulldogs ar e off to a rough, 0-2 start.

College golf matches start this week CASTLETON — The Castleton State College golf team has announced its Castleton Golf spring schedule for 2011. The Spartans will be playing in thr ee events in April to wrap up the 2010-11 campaign.

The spring slate kicks off April 9-10 when the Spartans travel to North Dartmouth, Mass., to compete in the Hampton Inn Spring Invitational at Allendale Country Club.

The following weekend Castleton travels to Cranston Country Club in Cranston, Rhode Island to compete in the Johnson & Wales Spring Invitational, before finishing the season with the Elms College Invitational April 21 at Westover Golf Course in Granby, Mass.

Junior William Banfield (Montpelier, Vt.) who became the first Castleton golfer to earn All-New England honors at the New England Inter collegiate Golf Association championships in late October will lead the team this spring.

Banfield was also named North Atlantic Confer ence (NAC) Player of the Year award which he earned by winning the NAC Championship. Banfield was tied atop the NAC leader boar d at an even-par 72 after day one, and followed with a three-under 69 on day two to earn medalist honors.

Joining Banfield this spring will be eturners r Cody Ball, Jordan Goodwin, Sam Morse, and Camer on Wood. New to the squad this spring are Zack Kulpa and Ross Herzog.

Also new to the squad is Bob Grace, who takes over as Head Coach for the spring season after Butch Paul stepped down this winter . Grace is a long-time member of the Castleton Physical Education faculty and an active member at Lake St. Catherine Country Club in nearby Poultney.

12 - Green Mountain Outlook

Martin Harris from page 4 The Safeway CEO went on to explain that “…Safeway has done nothing mor e than to borrow from the well-tested automobile insurance model.”

I might add that the automobile insurance model doesn’t countenance delaying insurance purchase until after a pre-existing condition has been created and then demanding free or low-cost coverage on compassionate grounds.

I don’t have the column-inches to r eview the multiple problems in state or federal programs in place (or pr oposed) to service everyone by insuring everyone—an excellent summary r equiring nearly a half-page of print is in the Mar ch 31 Wall Street Journal; its header includes two wor ds that say it all: “…Containing costs…” Not r eallocat-

The Logger from page 4 Oh cripes, whatever . I’m not smart minded enough to understand what’s going o n i n t he w orld. I’ m h aving e nough trouble understanding why people here in Vermont ar e upset and confused that the

ing costs to different sets of taxpayers, who can’t r efuse but can politically object, or to different sets of providers who can (and do) refuse to service some sets of customers, or to quit entirely, or to set up fictitious budgets and try to hide the ensuing deficits.

I note that T ennCare, of the State of T ennessee, tried and pretty much failed to contain costs. ShumyCare of Vermont seems to avoid the subject altogether although it offers one medical car e or ganization (T ennCare has a dozen, for example) with some sort of gate-keeping function.

Neither approach comes close to touching the political thir d-rail of the Safeway Plan; it’s the only one that offers the only route to real cost containment.

It isn’t the Safeway Plan formula which enrages the politically corr ect left (who could object to incentives for healthier behaviors?). Plus it isn’t the above averagehealthwise constituency which the Safeway weather isn’t spring-like yet.

Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly . He can be r eached at rustyd@ pshift.com. Listen for The Logger , Rusty DeWees, Thursdays at 7:40 on the Big Station, 98.9 WOKO or visit his website at www.thelogger.com.

Plan services because they’r e all Safeway employees.

Consider, TennCare versus ShumyCare in Vermont: The latter is 96 per cent white, has a Median Household Income of $52,000, and a poverty rate of 10 perc ent. The former is 80 percent white, has a MHI of $44,000, and a poverty rate of 16 percent.

It’s interesting that the percent-in-welfare state rankings ar en’t all that dif ferent. Vermont is no. 5 and T ennessee is no. 4 in the nation, both at a fraction over 2 per cent for reasons subject to the usual speculations.

But it’s the obesity rates that tell the r eal tale/ Vermont is at 23 percent, Tennessee is at 32 per cent. The most obese state is Mississippi while the leanest is Colorado. And the diabetes stats r eport the expected: V ermont is under 7 perc ent, Tennessee is over 11 percent.

Out of sheer cowardice, I won’t attempt to correlate with minority per centages in this column. But as the Safeway Plan r ecognizes—and both T ennCare and ShumyCar e don’t—rewarding your customer base to lose weight can save a lot of money.

Even so, the above statistics suggest that Vermont should be spending less per capita on health car e than T ennessee. Yet, it isn’t.

More on this topic in the coming weeks.

Activist to speak at college POULTNEY — Award-winning author and envir onmental activist Rick Bass will be the speaker for Gr een Mountain College’s fourth annual Thomas L. Benson Lecture on Wednesday, April 20, at 7 p.m. in the Clara Hitchcock Fitzpatrick Jones Concert Hall (Ackley Hall).

Bass will also conduct an enviro nmental writing workshop in the East Room in Withey Hall from 4-5:15 p.m. on Monday, April 18 and a lecture titled “Competing Stakeholders’ V alues & Convergence on Policy: A Discussion on Environmental Philosophy” T uesday, April 19, at 11 a.m., also in the East Room. The public is invited to all these events.

Bass has published and edited over 25 books, including nonfiction, essays, short stories and novels. He was born in Fort Worth, Texas, the son of a geologist.

Bass r eceived a B.S. in geology at Utah State University and started writing short stories on his lunch br eaks while working as a petroleum geologist in Mississippi.

In 1987, he moved with his wife, the artist Elizabeth Hughes, to the r emote Yaak Valley in Montana wher e he has since worked to pr otect Montana’s wilderness areas from development and logging interests.
