Kids’ Cove to fill gap left by day care closure Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com WALLINGFORD — When a day care closes, parents are left in the lurch; they must scramble to locate new day care facilities sometimes miles away. Such was the case when the Wallingford Day Care closed unexpectedly. Families impacted by the closing of the Wallingford center traveled from Clarendon, Wallingford, East Wallingford, Mt. Tabor, Tinmouth and Danby; included were 47 children. Parents had to face juggling jobs while quickly coming up with a day care solution that didn’t involve an even longer drive from home. Without an immediate child care solution, they said, the closure was fast becoming a community crisis. Sometimes a crisis is an opportunity for positive change. This particular community crisis was laid to rest when several Wallingford-area parents stepped up to solve the problem themselves. Their solution? A new day care center called Kids’ Cove. The day care and learning center was planned to be sited conveniently and serve families in the

Governor Jim Douglas visits troops in Iraq Meets with Vermont soldiers at Camp Victory and Al Faw Palace From News & Staff Reports newmarketpress@denpubs.com
Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas was in Iraq July 21 with a delegation of governors to meet with troops and receive a first-hand update about the situation in Iraq. Douglas, a resident of Middlebury, first visited Iraq in March 2006. The governor departed from Andrews Air Force Base after meeting with Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn and visiting Walter Read Army Medical Center during the day. He arrived at Baghdad International Airport this morning and had an opportunity to meet with Vermont soldiers at Camp Victory and Al Faw Palace. During the day he also received a briefing from Lt. Gen. Kenneth Hunzeker, the deputy commander of U.S. Forces in Iraq and the NATO Training Mission in Iraq and had a hands-on MRAP vehicle demonstration. ...Turn to page 12 to read more

Coby 1 year old. Neutered Male. Terrier mix. I am a big dog in a little body— in other words, a terrier. I was surrendered by my adoptive family because my “terrible terrier” attitude was too much for them. I am like an only child who’s had too much attention and not enough rules—I’m happy, confident, playful and affectionate but very used to getting my own way. All this has done is land me back at the shelter.

Bridge to use union labor By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The construction of a new Lake Champlain Bridge in Crown Point will be a union project after all. Even though New York and Vermont rejected a project labor agreement (PLA) on the new bridge construction, Flatiron Construction Inc., recently signed a private PLA. Flatiron, based in Colorado, was awarded the bridge contract for $69.9 million. Because the construction of the bridge is fast-paced and highly technical, Flatiron spokeswoman Christie DeLuca said, the company wants to make sure it hires qualified workers. “The bridge also incorporates a unique design. The main stand is a technically challenging tied-arch center, which requires specific qualifications to perform the work. So flatiron signed a PLA so the unions would help assist them in finding employees that
have the necessary experience for that highly technical work,” she said. Workers must apply for jobs through the union hiring halls, DeLuca said, but that does not mean they are required to be a union member. “The way it works is local people go to the union halls to put in their application and the union halls are then required to refer any applicants that are qualified. They (applicants) don’t necessarily need to be union and they are not required to join the union, but they will have the option to,” she said. Non-union workers will still have to pay union dues because the union is still required to represent them, but DeLuca said the dues are less then they would be for a union member. The PLA does not change the workers' wages, DeLuca said. Every worker will still be paid the prevailing wage rate established by the Department of Labor and the State of New York.

WATERWAY — The Lake Champlain ferry Grand Isle crosses the narrows between Chimney Point and Crown Point, N.Y., last week. Summer tourism and regular local commuter traffic keeps the Grand Isle and her sister auto ferry Cumberland filled to capacity — approximately 35 averagesized vehicles per crossing. Passengers may ride the ferry free — their tax dollars are paying for the high-priced transportation subsidy.

like twisting the cap off the gasoline can and the cap off the tractor ’s tank—then feeling the cool gas flow through the fill hose. I like the smell of gas on my hands, the smell of gas fumes mixed with dirt and grass. I’m Lord of my lawn. Lord with hands that smell like work. I like twisting the tiny cap off the air stem, setting it on the gravel driveway, adding air, finding the tiny air stem cap on the gravel driveway, and twisting it back on. Repeating three times. Lifting the faded red metal hood, turning the top and pulling the dipstick out, wiping it with my forefinger and thumb, returning it, pulling it out and checking it, then securing it on the filler tube. Maintenance. My mower is well kept. I like knowing the proper amount of choke and fuel needed to start the mower, and being able to toggle the gas and choke levers, and depress the clutch, and turn the key, all in one motion. I like the sound of the first revolutions of the motor, a very hearty explosion, a snap, pop, and bang, not altogether, but like a drummer ’s flam. The sound is mixed with dry grass, dusty grease, dirt and dry rubber, and smells like life itself. It smells fantastic. America the beautiful. Addicted to oil. I like mowing. I like dad’s old style tractor, not new Zero-Turn models. Steering wheel in my hands, (reminds me of dad) turning; the bow of the tractor, my Peterbuilt. I wheel that son of a gun, left, straight, right, back, forth, straight, while the heat from the 8 horse power plant increases the rate I sweat in the summer, but keeps me warm in the fall. I like pushing the lever forward to engage the mower blades. I always wonder if this time will be the time something lets go and the blades won’t engage when I push the lever forward. But they always do. But if they didn’t, I would have to get them fixed, and that would take a day or two, and I wouldn’t be able to mow for a day or two,

and I like to mow every single day. I’d be very disappointed if for some reason pushing the lever forward didn’t engage the mower blades. Very disappointed. When I mow I think, talk to myself, and sing like Dean Martin. My best singing is not done in the shower. When I mow I always come up with good ideas, like this one, to write about liking mowing. I’ve taken to smoking the occasional cigar of late, and during the course of several mows over the past two seasons, I’ve torched a nice maduro corona. I blow smoke, jumbling along, one hand on the wheel, one hand hung low, to the side, hovering just above the right rear fender, a cigar sporting an evenly burnt inch long ash set comfortably safe between my pointer finger and thumb. I’m a smoke-blowing aristocrat. Lot of guys like mowing. We like mowing because mowing is in the “cut” family, and guys like to cut things. Trees, toe-nails, the turkey, farts, in line, brush, sharp cheese, the mustard, cards, it out, the crap, Welch’s grape juice with water. Listing only half the reasons I like to mow would fill a column with words enough to cover several pages in print. Rather than do that, I’ll add and end with … Guys like mowing because you mow alone, and guys often like to be alone.

A government of mood
What is life? he search for extraterrestrial life is today’s greatest scientific challenge. Setting aside the vast distances between worlds, the challenge to astrobiologists comes down to the age-old question: what is life? You may think you’d know life when you see it, but consider two recent controversies that illustrate the problem. The best working definition of life was provided by biologist Gerald Joyce of the Scripps Research Institute. Joyce is a key member of NASA’s exobiology team. His definition is now guiding the space agency’s search for life elsewhere. “Life is a self-sustained chemical system capable of undergoing Darwinian evolution,” according to Joyce’s definition. More specifically, he identifies life as possessing three characteristics: 1. Life must be a chemical system. 2. Life must grow and sustain itself (metabolize energy from its environment). 3. Life must display variation. But, even with Joyce’s guidelines, it’s not so easy. Several respected paleontologists remain stymied as to how to recognize Earth’s earliest fossil lifeforms. Ancient chert rock found in Australia was once believed to hold Earth’s earliest microscopic lifeforms. In 1993, J. William Schopf of the University of California at Los Angeles stirred up a scientific firestorm when he claimed he had evidence of Earth’s oldest bacteria — microscopic structures representing 11 fossil species. Upon more detailed analysis, other researchers found Schopf ’s 3.5-billion-year-old microscopic structures weren’t fossils; instead, the microstructures were the products of geochemical reactions in prehistoric hydrothermal vents. Despite the apparent setback, researchers dusted themselves off and continue the quest for paleontology’s Holy Grail. In the case of the search for life on Mars, NASA scientists have learned their lessons the hard way over the years. Frequently, things that appear to be related to life on the surface, turn out to be more easily explained via geochemistry. In 1976, NASA’s first landing on Mars by the twin Voyager spacecraft included a famous experiment, the labeled-release experiment. The Viking scooped up a tiny amount of Martian regolith (soil) in situ and exposed it to a rich nutrient soup. The soup had been injected with radioactive carbon atoms back on Earth with the idea being alien microbes in the soil would consume the soup then release a bit of radioactive carbon dioxide (expelling

the injected radioactive carbon out the old shute, so to speak). The experiment was a success — well, sort of. Yes, the By Lou Varricchio soil loved the soup and ate it up. It was evidence of a metabolic reaction — a clear sign of life, right? Not exactly. A companion experiment aboard Viking scooped up martian regolith, too, and then searched for organic compounds of carbon. None could be found. This second experiment negated the first, labeled-release experiment. No carbon, no microbes. Apparently, chemicals in the Martian regolith “ate” the nutrient and produced radioactive CO 2 . Something sure looked like life signs but was, instead, a non-living reaction. The infamous August 1996 NASA news conference claiming fossil life inside Mars meteorite ALH84001 gave a blackeye to the space agency. Agency researchers claimed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) found inside the space rock were the fingerprints of microbial life. NASA researchers also claimed the meteorite — found in Antarctica in 1984, hence the “84001” label — contained microscopic structures that looked like fossilized microbes. Here again, so-called life signs can be deceiving. After considerable scrutiny by outside researchers, the PAL molecules were found to have been produced by non-living reactions — in fact, PAHs are an ingredient of terrestrial air pollution. And, the tiny “fossils” inside the meteorite? Well, these objects became suspect, too; the wormlike structures are an order of magnitude smaller than microbes on Earth — again, inorganic reactions can produce similar structures right here on Earth. Figuring out how to finely distinguish between geochemical and biological signs is a daunting challenge in the search for life beyond Earth. What’s in the Sky: On Saturday, July 31, look for a clustering of planets in the western sky 45 minutes after sunset: Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn all appear in order in an ascending, imaginary curve rising to the left of the star Regulus.

I
n today’s hypersensitive political-correctness atmosphere, it’s not safe any more to quote 18th century French writer/philosopher/politician Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu’s pre-liberte, egalite, fraternite comments about “a government of laws and not of men” because of its unacceptable sexist language. “A government of laws and not of persons” doesn’t have quite the same cachet but the larger point remains valid: the rules ought to be published, predictable, and transparent, not subject to constant case-by-case reinterpretation according to monarchical whim or, in the modern Vermont, vocal-majority mood. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the once predictable but now perilous field of land-use regulation –planning-and zoning and the shiretown of Addison County is a prime example. And within the P&Z process in Middlebury, hapless not-little-and-localenough office-supply-vendor Staples is now the entrée du jour, as anti-big-box activists have enlarged their list of retail enemies to include some, not all, despised corporate chains as well as that earlier target, big-box retail outlets. Historical purists will argue that it wasn’t Montesquieu who put the above quote into his 18th century book “L’Esprit du Loi” but English writer James Harrington who used it in his 17th century book, “Empire of the Law” from which source later-President-2, John Adams, put it into the Massachusetts Constitution. Je ne sais pas. I do know that the basic idea of doing all-things-governmental by-theopen-book was at the root of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass in which he ridiculed an arbitrary monarchy. His example wasn’t Victoria, who might retaliate, but a safely fictional Red Queen who demanded subjectivity in decision-making via “verdict first, trial later”, and a well-known “the law is what is I say it is” quote which, however, I have not been able to find in his pages. Enthusiasts for majority rule governance should have no quarrel with a town voting to put whatever it wants in its zoning ordinance, so long as it is-
n’t unconstitutional or arbitrary, and so if the shire town votes to exclude retail with an over-50K SF footprint, fine. If its voters want to exclude all chain retail as well, that’s their privilege based on their autonomy. Let them then say so in their rule book, so that the management of stores like Staples doesn’t naively read the P&Z rules, think (incorrectly) that they’re welcome, apply for a permit, and only then find out that they’re not. Transparency (rule-of-law-and-notpersons) requires that the rulers (those who administer the duly-adopted P&Z rules) be just as bound by those predictable published requirements as the ruled, those who apply for permits to use land. That isn’t usually the case in the modern Vermont in general, and in towns like Middlebury, Manchester, and Randolph in particular. Randolph, you may recall, was the place where, recently, a state assistant attorney general argued that a permit application meeting all published zoning requirements should be denied anyway (and it was), because in that particular case “the zoning regulations are irrelevant”. Manchester, you may recall, was the place where a motel proposed for an area zoned for motels was denied because the franchise had a number in its name and was therefore considered too down-scale to be socially acceptable. And Middlebury is the place where hostility to all things corporate is highly selective: those with a national profile aren’t welcome, while those considered suitably local and/or mom-n-pop are. If that’s what these towns want, fine: let them say so in plain English in their zoning ordinances. My suspicion is that those with such views lack the gumption to say so directly, and prefer to keep their preferences unspoken, where they can be exercised according to their current mood. That’s not rule of law, either Montesquieu or Adams. It’s a Red Queen rule of mood.

Storms knock out power By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Residents of the region may have received a reprieve from last week’s hot, humid weather, but it came at a price. When a cold front came through the area the afternoon of July 21, it brought with it a line of severe thunderstorms. The storms tracked west to east across a wide portion of Vermont. Nature’s violence knocked out electrical power to more than 11,500 CVPS customers including Rutland and Addison counties. Rutland County was hit hardest by the thunderstorms, according to CVPS spokeswoman Christine Rivers. “About 7,100 customers were without power in Rutland County, 1,900 in Orange County and 1,200 in Windsor County, with 300 in Addison and 450 out in Chittenden County — with scattered outages throughout the state,” said Rivers. Chittenden County was hit hard earlier in the afternoon in an erratic line from Charlotte to Hinesburg. Crews were in the field July 21 during the evening hours to remove downed trees and limbs from the storm front’s high winds — some gusts exceeded 52 mph. Crews had to deal with the downed trees before they could get at power lines. “Crews reported having to pull over to the side of the road due to high winds bringing down trees and limbs, and heavy rain and hail severely reducing visibility. Many CV workers reported trees and limbs down everywhere,” said Rivers. Crews worked into the early morning hours of July 22 to restore power.
GRANVILLE, N.Y. — To Life! A Celebration of Vermont Jewish Women, opened at the Slate Valley Museum in Granville, N.Y., last week. Exhibit creators, Ann Buffum and Sandy Gartner of Rutland were on hand for the opening. The 18-panel exhibit depicts the life stories of 20 Jewish women living in Vermont, from all walks of life, ages 12 to 101. Each woman’s story is illustrated with a large photographic portrait, archival photos, an essay, and selected quotes and anecdotes in the women’s own words. In context, their individual stories are a thread in the larger history of the Jewish community in Vermont and the Slate Valley.

Poultney Summer Theatre Co.
A Wolff becomes Caliban By Catherine M Oliverio newmarketpress@denpubs.com POULTNEY — The Poultney Summer Theatre Co. Shakespeare on Main Street presents this year William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”. Performances are scheduled for July 30-31, Aug. 1, Aug. 6-7 at 7 p.m., and Aug. 8 at 2 p.m. One character that cannot go unnoticed in “The Tempest” is Caliban portrayed by Maris Wolff. This reptilian fish monster comes alive with Wolff ’s dancing. Her elaborate costume matches her energy and representation of Caliban. “Caliban is a complex character that I truly love,” said Wolff, “This character is angry at Prospero who stole the island from him. He is terrified of Prospero and lashes out at him knowing he’ll pay for it. Caliban just goes with his gut feelings with raw passion.” Wolff said, “Caliban knows the island intimately and feels when someone is afraid because he is a sensualist. He is also tender, bitter, many different things, but he has empathy. Caliban also loves getting liquor from them and man, does Caliban like it!” Wolff ’s dancing all began with her mother ’s profession as a singer, stage name, Nicole Scott, who performed at New York’s Carnegie Hall. “While my mother sang, she told me that I danced within her, and I came out dancing.” Wherever her mother rehearsed, received coaching, or performed, Wolff danced every moment she heard the beat of any music. One of Scott’s vocal coaches said, “This child needs dance lessons,” and from that point on at the age of five, Wolff first felt the ballet barre and knew that was home for her. “A huge light came down upon me, and I said, ‘Yes, this is what I’m going to be for the rest of my life.’” A professor of dance at Johnson State College in Johnson, Vt. since 1977, Wolff shares her training and experiences gained throughout her life, i.e., a student at the George Balanchine School of American Ballet. Wolff reflected and said, “This was the best school ever, and I had some of the wellrenowned teachers from around the world.” Through her training and passion of dance, Wolff performed not only in New York’s Lincoln Center, but she also taught, choreographed, and danced abroad in Europe, England, and Africa. Wolff, now a freelancer, has worked with many companies and loves all kinds of dance. The first company she worked with, the Metropolitan Opera House, led her to other companies and had her blossoming with all types of repertory companies. She has and continues the gamut of dance. “My specialty is historical dance from the 15th-20th centuries,” said Wolff. “Through dance we show how people developed and learn about history being in people’s shoes and clothing.” “I love dance theater collaboration meshing the music, dancing, and acting altogether. That way you get to work more in about humanity and go to people’s souls,” said Wolff. “It’s a harmonious blending of all talents.” She continued, “Music is powerful. Even if someone does not understand the words, the movement of dance can speak and inform.” How did Wolff find Gary Meitrott and the Poultney Sum-
Dancer Maris Wolff as Caliban. mer Theatre Co.? They met through Rip Jackson, the minister of Grace Church in Rutland. “There is so much talent here in the Poultney senior and junior companies, and it should be acknowledged,” said Wolff. “Come and see for yourself!” Although one of the main characters in “The Tempest,” Maris assists with The Poultney Summer Theatre Junior Co. with the upcoming performance of “Macbeth”. In addition to teaching at Johnson State College, Wolff founded and is the director of the Vermont Dance Collective. VDC offers a variety of programs for all sorts of occasions, including school enrichment. Performances for both “The Tempest” and “Macbeth” will be held on the lawn behind St. Raphael’s Church located on Main Street, Poultney. Tickets for “The Tempest” cost $10 for adults, $8 for students and senior citizens, and free for children 12 and younger, and the cost for “Macbeth” is $5.

Ludlow teens screen video LUDLOW — LPCTV played Hollywood producer last week by showcasing the latest National History Day video from a young Vermont video producing team—Ludlow-area students Noah Schmidt and Newton Rose. The students at Black River High School recently won the Vermont History Day competition in the video documentary category and went on to compete on the national level in Washington, D.C. The video, “Vermont Interstate System: Roads to Change”, premiered on LPCTV July 22 on Channel 8 and will play throughout the next few weeks on both channels 8 and 10. The video was produced using LPCTV’s equipment and editing facilities. “These guys came in here again this year, to make a video for History Day, and dedicated themselves to the process”, said LPCTV Executive Director Patrick Cody. “It’s fun and refreshing to see that level of dedication at a young age.”

Can’t get there from here To the editor: What's a town to do when their main link to the Interstate highway is shut down for 12 weeks? If you're Chester, Vt., you celebrate! When the State of Vermont closes sections of Route 103 to conduct bridge work in 2011, traffic will be detoured around the picturesque village of Chester. ChesterUnited, the brainchild of Chester resident Cynthia Prairie, is an initiative seeking to pull together partners from all corners of town, encouraging organizations and businesses to hold events that highlight all that's special about Chester. A rich architectural fabric is just part of that equation. Two interns from the Chester firm of Claudio Veliz Architect PLLC, Chelsea Moore and Drew Monarque, are eager to put their skills and interests to good use helping ChesterUnited put together some self-guided tours and historical narrative, inviting locals as well as visitors to explore Chester. Drew and Chelsea both have educational backgrounds in architecture; Drew is pursuing his Masters at Norwich University while Chelsea, who graduated from GMUHS in 2007, is planning to earn her degree from Keene State College in 2011. Both of these young aspiring architects are excited about being part of ChesterUnited, generating energy to connect many elements of the community during the Detour Days and beyond.

I
recently received a newspaper promotional copy of an unasuming little electronic book that arrived, via e-mail, just in time for last week’s July 4 holiday—it’s titled “The Handbook for Americans”. And if there was ever a book that reminded me of my civic duty—as an American first, and a resident of Vermont second—it was this one. Right now, you can get this little e-book free online by visiting www.hatherleighbookstore.com. Not sure why it’s free, it just is—and no catch, as far as I can tell. I hope the publisher makes the book available to even more citizens by publishing it in a paperback edition. The Handbook begins with a stirring quote from U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. “We need a greater, a more stable and a more tolerant America,” he said in a public speech during the dark pre-war days of 1939. Using FDR’s words as a jumping off point, the book then explores a dozen or so ways to improve citizenship. Upon reading the Handbook, I was inspired to explore even more ways to be a responsible citizen. The Handbook lists several ways to become a more fully engaged U.S. citizen. Here are a few suggestions taken directly from the e-book: Vote. By participating in elections at the local, state and national level, we make our opinions heard. Understand the issues. Learn as much as you can about the candidates. Vote responsibly. Stay informed. Read newspapers, magazines, blogs; listen to radio talk shows that question authority, the status quo, or challenge political correctness. An educated American is an empowered citizen. Exercise your right to free speech. Don’t be afraid to speek up. When we intelligently state our opinions, we live up to the hopes and dreams of our Founders. Freedom of speech is an extraordinary right. Support American businesses. When we buy local and other domestic made products, we are supporting our economy and creating jobs for our fellow neighbors and other U.S. citizens. Support down-and-out Americans. The Gulf oil disaster. Flash floods. Neighbors need us. Help your fellow Americans. Donate your time, services or money to those less fortunate than you. Join a volunteer organization. Use time wisely. Help out at the local school, church or nursing home. Don’t be self absorbed. It’s not always about you. Read or reread our founding documents. The principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are timeless and essential to our continued freedom. Past is prologue. Our nation’s history is unique and filled with examples of strength, resilience and great feats. There is more good about America than bad; don’t let naysayers question your love of country Patriotism has never been out of style. Teach children—something, anything good. Enlightened patriotism comes from education, not ignorance. Teach your children, or those nearby, about the rights and responsibilities we share as Americans. Then, set an example by being a good citizen yourself. Enjoy and protect America’s natural resources. Leave the environment around you for others to enjoy. Don’t be afraid to pick up trash you see along the way. Above all else: Bet on the side of good. Believe in America. Believe that there’s a better future for us and better ways of doing things. Believe it, then act on it. Make every day your personal Independence Day. Celebrate America in the way that fits your life, but always be respectful of others. Stand tall, be proud. You are an American. Lou Varricchio

OUTLOOK - 7
Record-breaking aircraft is star attraction By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Aviator Dave Corey of Bennington has been flying airplanes for 45 years. As a skilled pilot and businessman, Corey expanded his passion for aviation into a successful Vermont-based airfreight operation, called AirNow. The cargo carrier operates out of Bennington’s busy William H. Morse State Airport. Aside from normal business operations, AirNow, in partnership with Evangelistic World Outreach, is also doing good things, quietly, behind the scenes—it has been flying vital humanitarian relief missions to earthquake victims in Haiti. But that’s just the sort of thing that a man and aviator like Corey responds to without any prompting. This month, Corey flew his personal, record-setting experimental Questair Venture aircraft to the Middlebury State Airport. He made a special visit to the Addison County airport to drop in on a local pilot friend.
You may be required to have:
• General Liability Insurance • Workers’ Comp Insurance • Statutory DBL Insurance Or all of the above for your business.
Corey’s unusual aircraft holds the National Aeronautical Association’s world record for a single-engine propeller flight between Pacific and Atlantic coasts—it took the pilot a mere 7 hours, non-stop, to fly from San Diego, Calif. to Palm Beach, Fla. Corey accomplished the feat—solo—back in 2008. Only 30 such experimental Venture aircraft exist in the world, according to Corey, and only 20 are flying. Legendary aircraft designer Jim Griswold designed the Venture for speed. However, its popularity was less than spectacular; now the Venture has become a very rare bird that turns heads wherever it touches down. Using technology derived from the speedy Piper Malibu, the Venture is a bit of an ugly duckling at first glance, looking a tad aerodynamically challenged. But looks are deceiving; in fact, the planes stubby look is its great advantage in the air. First launched in 1987, the experimental Venture series are built of allmetal, pre-formed multi-curvature
panels. The plane has jet fighter-like tricycle retractable land gear, too, which—when tucked up inside the fuselage—help the plane slip through stubborn air molecules. Corey’s Venture has an American-made Continental 300 hp powerplant. And while the wings are 25 feet long, the fuselage is only 12 feet long, an unusual wing-tobody ratio, it is a bird built for speed. “It took me 10 years to build the Venture,” Corey said. “I worked on it at various airports around Vermont. Its top speed is 300 mph or 240 kts. It’s a very efficient aircraft holding 80 gallons of aviation fuel.” During the 2008 banner flight, Corey flew with onboard oxygen and cruised high, in the kingdom of jets, to avoid turbulence and bad weather. During most of the 7 hour flight in 2008, Corey took the plane to its ceiling at 28,000 feet above sea level. “The coast-to-coast flight was very comfortable with no problems,” Corey said. “The cabin layout made it comfortable; it includes two, side-by-side seats and a rear baggage space.

Jim Ryan takes the checkered at Devil’s Bowl WEST HAVEN — Jim Ryan took advantage of a front-row starting position and a cautionless feature to record his first modified win of the season Sunday night in the doublepoints, Mid-Season Championships at Devil's Bowl Speedway. The front row was the place to be, as Seth Roberts, who started next to Ryan, came across the line second, the best run of his young career. While Ryan and Roberts were opening up a little breathing room, Don Mattison, Mike Bruno and Tim Laduc hooked up in their own little battle a couple of car lengths back. Early in the feature, Bruno and Laduc were running side-byside, but on lap 13, Laduc got his left front on the rumble strips, letting Bruno to get around him on the high side on the front stretch. Roberts stayed within striking distance of Ryan, but couldn't find the grip on the outside to make the pass. Ken Tremont Jr. made a late charge, getting by Laduc for fifth with seven to go. Two laps later, Andy Durie got a flat tire, but he was able to duck into the pits without bringing out the yellow. Tremont kept battling, and finally worked his way around Bruno late in the feature. When the checkered flag fell, Mattison, Tremont and Bruno chased Ryan and Roberts across the finish line. Don Miller continued to dominate the sportsman division, picking up his fifth win of the season. Jack Swinton set the early pace, but Miller, who started seventh, got the lead on lap eight.
At about the same time, Josh Joseph went flying off the backstretch. The grounds were so saturated that Joseph sent off a high rooster tail of water, and the race had to be red-flagged for 15 minutes while crews pulled his car out of the muck.

Once the race resumed, the field strung out quickly. Hunter Bates made a late charge and tried to close the gap on Miller, but he again proved to be too tough, and came away with the victory. Bates, Swinton, Fred Proctor and Jon Rheome completed the top five. Brandon Emigh came away with his first win of the year in the Renegade feature, and Robert Leitch also made his first visit of the year to victory lane, taking the checkered flag in the Bomber Warriors feature. Devil's Bowl will return to action on Sunday, Aug. 1, with all the regular CVRA divisions, as well as the third race in the Pro Stock/Super Street Challenge, making up the racing card.

Kids’ Cove From page 1 Rutland region, according to Michelle Kenny. By providing a safe, loving and fun learning environment for area children, the parents were putting a lot of themselves into the facility. In February, parents came up with the name for the nonprofit childcare center—Kids’ Cove, an ideal name since it would be a safe harbor for children to play and learn under watchful eyes. Kids’ Cove’s Kenny said the organizing committee secured a location at an historic building owned by local Masons. The building, at 65 South Main St. (U.S. Route 7), is easy to locate; its footprint is ideal for a safe and comfortable childcare facility. The site includes an outdoor green space for play and adjoins the Wallingford Elementary School. Children attending the center will avoid busy Routes 7 and 140 by passing through a connecting gateway. According to Kenny, the facility has a legal capacity for 45 children; this includes up to 7 infants in the “infant room” and up to 10 toddlers and 20 preschoolers in the “great room”. Kids’ Cove provides a preschool learning program for three and four year-olds. The center plans to continue the Wallingford Day Care’s collaborative arrangement with Wallingford Elementary School as well. Wallingford Day Care teacher Felicia Knapp will also be involved. Kids’ Cove will open in September as a Vermont-licensed childcare facility. During the academic year, the center will provide preschool sessions five mornings per week. During summer vacation, the center will provide a summer camp experience for school-aged children through 12 years of age. Kids Cove is currently conducting a $375,000 capital campaign that will go to facility improvements and related purchases. For enrollment information, call 802-345-4040.

Local H’Olympians bring home the gold By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com CHESTER — A new, youth athletic movement was born back in 1989 during a spontaneous basketball tournament held at an obscure Vermont boys camp. The tournament involved members of NFCCE, the National Fellowship of Child Care Executives, and young campers. NFCCE is composed of agencies that provide out-of-home care for at-risk children. So the idea—to involve more at-risk boys and girls in athletic events—eventually became the H'Olympics. Twenty-one years later, it’s now a growing national movement. H’Olympic games emphasize sportsmanship and goodwill, and offer children far more than a simple athletic competition. The games allow children with similar backgrounds to share positive experiences, receive recognition for their special talents, socialize, and most of all—have fun. Since its founding, the H'Olymics has been slowly attracting more agencies each desiring to take part. Here in Vermont, the movement has several champions. A few weeks ago, 16 Vermont children with four chaperones traveled to Mahwah, N.J., to represent Kurn Hattin Homes in H’Olympics. The children competed in track and field, swimming, basketball, volleyball, and softball. There were 10 different schools in the competition, from New Jersey, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. When the games were over, the Vermont youngsters enjoyed a Grey Line dinner cruise departing Manhattan Island, around the Statue of Liberty, and back. According to Kim Fine of Kurn Hattin Homes, the fivehour-trek south was well worth it. “We did very well at the games and returned with several medals,” she said. “Scarlett Stanhope won the non athletic competition, which this year was in art. Her painting of a frog won the Ken Coleman award which is a flag that former Kurn Hattin students designed and won several years ago. She also received a $100 gift card.” The girls won the gold medal in softball silver in basketball and silver in volleyball The boys won gold in softball and silver in volleyball after a very, very long well played third game. Kurn Hattin won 57 individual medals in track and field and swimming. The team hustle awards were won by Devin Bussino and Jessica Cormia. Fine said boy and girls returned home with medals: For boys’ medals, Dieonte Davis won the bronze in the 4 X 100 relay track. Dylan Conklin won gold in 4 X 200 medley relay senior division, and bronze in 25 meter butterfly. Devin Bussino won bronze in track 800 meter, gold in 25M freestyle, gold in 25M breast stroke, silver in 4 X 25freestyle relay, and bronze in 4 X 50 free relay in the senior division. Draven Dennis won bronze in the high jump, and silver
in the 4 X 25 free relay. Jordan Ortiz received silver in 4 X 25 free relay. Cooper Newell won gold in the 4 X 25 medley relay and bronze in 25M breast stroke. Bussino took home gold in 1M, medley relay, and the 25M butterfly, and bronze in the senior division 50 M free relay. In track, he won silver in the 100M and 800M, gold in the long jump and bronze in the 4 X 100. Steven Kingsbury got gold in 4 X 25 medley relay and gold in the 25M back stroke. In track, he got silver in the softball throw and bronze for the 4 X 100 relay.” When it came to medals for the girls, there were plenty of high fives to go around. Fine reported the following: Ashley Bussino won gold for the 4 X 25 1M, gold for the 4 X 25 medley relay, gold for the 25M butterfly. In track, she got gold in the 800M, and The 2010 Kurn Hattin Homes’ H’Olympics Team and coaches: Breanna Collins, Ashley Bussino, Dy4 X 100 relay.

Up a lazy river
By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com
Charlie: All this fool talk... goin' down the river. Rose: What do you mean? Charlie: I mean we ain't goin' to do nothin' of the sort. Rose: Why, of course we're going! What an absurd idea! —”The African Queen” (1951) Steamboaters seem to quote “The African Queen” a lot, probably because, to many of them, the Hollywood movie’s star attraction isn’t really Humphrey Bogart or Katherine Hepburn—it’s the film’s river steamboat, The African Queen. For steamboat hobbyists, the classic film captures the adven-
ture and romance of river steamboating. New England and Middle Atlantic States members of the NASBA or North American Steam Boat Association hauled their “retro” steam launches over hill and dale to Vermont’s Otter Creek. Sixteen elegant steamboats—modeled after their Victorian and Edwardianera predecessors—along with 30 individuals, steamed up and
have a few antique fittings here and there,” Steeves said. “Overall, our boats are evocative of a vanished era when river and lake travel was slow, measured—without the loud noise of modern boat engines.” The soothing pocketa-pocketapocketa inner workings of these steam vessels are a meditation on 19th-century technology— maybe ornate, but a heck of a lot fun. Capt. Steeves was joined by other steamboaters including John Crockett of Andover, N.H. and skipper of the S.L. Jabberwock; Charles Roth of Glen Gardner, N.J. and skipper of Adamey III; Doug Pyatt of Bethlehem, Pa., and several others including a network television producer. A few came to the unusual hobby through steam railroading or an interest in maritime history. Roth said today’s steam launches are registered as gas boats because states simply don’t have a category for steamboats. Most steamboats run between 25-30 feet in length. Most can navigate in shallow water, down to 22 inches deep. With a full firebox, the S.L. Redbud can cruise up to 15 miles with stoking required, maybe, every 10-20 minutes. And at a
top speed of between 5 mph and 6 mph, this vessel won’t get you to the church on time. But then, who cares? Steamboating is not about speed or competition. It’s about community and enjoying river travel at its own pace. While staying at River’s Edge Cottages and Campground, steamboaters enjoyed day trips—via Otter Creek—to downtown Vergennes for shopping; they also included mini cruises along the shore of Lake Champlain, although some of the skippers dislike the lake’s big swells when the weather gets dicey. A few have ventured as far south as Whitehall, N.Y. “We were on the water when the big thunderstorm hit July 21,” said Steeves. “We got back to the River’s Edge dock in a hurry.” In the old days, steam launches came in a variety of

lengths and were used to ferry passengers on rivers and lakes. Similar launches were a common sight on Lake Champlain and Lake George up until World War I. Steamboaters planned to wrap up their get together July 25. But there was an opportunity for one more cruise on Otter Creek. Looking at his steam gauge, Capt. Roth of the Adamey III said, “I need about 100 psi on the gauge, then, I am ready to go. “Oh,” he slyly made an aside, “I should mention that our unofficial cocktail is the gin and tonic—in honor of Bogart and Hepburn and The African Queen. Well, here’s to you, steamboaters! Bon voyages. There is nothing half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

Steamboaters cruise Otter Creek
down the Otter Creek between Lake Champlain and the Vergennes Basin, as part of a second annual gathering at River’s Edge Cottages and Campground last week. “As you can see, we love steamboats,” said Russ Steeves of Chlemsford, Mass., skipper of the fetching S.L. Redbud. Steeves is a retired aerospace engineer who loves to tinker with mechanical things. “Well, technically our boats are called steam launches or S.L. for short.” Steeves was proud to give this reporter a cruise up and down a portion of the Otter Creek to demonstrate the retro, dare I say steampunkish, ways of a 21st-century reincarnated steam launch. Complete with a brasstrimmed wood-fed boiler, locomotive-like steamboat whistle, a mini blackpowder cannon for signalling the social hour, mahogany-teakwood deck and gunwale, as well as upholstered Victorian bench seats, the S.L. Redbud would be the ideal vehicle for a neo Bogart and Hepburn to explore the mistshrouded Otter. “Our members’ steam launches are really new boats made to look old—many use fiberglass and wood—but some
