Loren Murphy: values and leadership matter Loren Murphy of Pittsford, a senior at Otter Valley High School, was presented with an Eagle Scout award at the Eagle Court of Honor Ceremony at Hildene, the Vermont home of Robert Lincoln, the son of President Abraham.

According to Murphy, “an Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America; it’s an honor less than 5 percent of scouts nationwide attain.”

Murphy started out in scouting as a Tiger Cub, a member of Pack 110 in Pittsford. At that time, he was an eager first grader at the Lothrop School.

As the young scout advanced through the ranks, his leadership skills were recognized early on. As a Cub, Murphy was awarded the Arrow of Light, the highest level honor for a Cub Scout.

Maintaining a commitment to the principles of scouting, Murphy moved up to Boy Scout Troop 110 in Rutland County. Again, his leadership skills were recognized and he assumed the positions of patrol leader for the “Phish” patrol and became the troop’s assistant senior patrol leader.

Murphy’s honors in scouting continued to gain attention: he was elected to the Order of the Arrow, the Boy Scouts Honor Society, Ajapeu Lodge, and he became the Rutland County troop’s representative. Later, he was elected secretary for the Boy Scouts’ Ethan Allen Chapter. He moved up to lodge vice chief and then was named acting chief of the lodge.

Recently, members of the Pittsford Selectboard approved Murphy’s Eagle project that involved construction of a trail message center and relief map for the Pittsford Trails and Recreation Park. The accomplished scout also worked with award-winning Vermont artist Woody Jackson in designing new

This year, Murphy was elected as the Order of the Arrow section chief— the result being the Pittsford scout became the first youth from the Vermont Ajapeu Lodge to ever be elected to a national position in the Boy Scouts of America. Murphy’s new responsibilities include section chief for scouts in Vermont, New York, Connecticut and Europe.

In just a few weeks, a lucky family will soon find a comfortable, energy efficient house to call home in the Springfield area. Construction began two months ago on the seventh home built by the Greater Springfield Area Habitat for Humanity organization. No tax dollars are ever used in the construction of Habitat homes. All construction funds come from tax deductible donations as well as volunteer labor and building materials.

The new house under way in Springfield is a three bedroom, 1.5 bath ranch-style house with an attached garage. The energy efficient design eliminates steps, designed to fit the needs of a variety of occupants.

When completed, Habitat officials said, the house is expected to achieve a five-star energy efficiency rating. Its massive, 8-inch thick walls include the latest in insulating materials.

I am a sweet and somewhat timid dog who has been through a lot of changes recently so I am in need of reassurance and stability. I know how to sit and I have nice leash manners. I was brought in with a small dog and while the people who brought me here said that I was not always nice to him the staff here says I am happy to see him and think I should be able to live with another dog if we are properly introduced and supervised.

et’s see, what is there to talk about this week?

Lady Gaga wore a dress made of meat at an awards show. Her shoes were made of meat, too. Had a meat hat on. Seemed odd—then I remembered I eat meat.

Brian Dubie and Peter Shumlin had their first debate. Many more debates to come. I think there should be only one debate and no commercials or factory walks or county fair or school visits. In the voting booth, beneath a photo of each guy, there should be 10 one sentence descriptions of things they’ll do as governor. Read them and choose. That’s it.

I have 20 t-shirts. I wear two. I don’t buy t-shirts. I take t-shirts to the thrift store. T-shirts, t-shirts, t-shirts. Need a t-shirt? There are so many t-shirts.

Do kids notice subtleties of season? I don’t remember noticing. I wish I did. I only noticed big things. My dad, school buses, Mrs. Marsh. For kids, it’s Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas—connected by more of the same. Nice adults notice subtleties or time would pass even faster, if that’s even possible.

When you arrive at a house that has dogs that bark as you arrive, the owners chide the dogs in a tone that suggests they’re surprised the dogs are barking. When that happens, I think it’s the first time the dogs barked when someone arrived.

My cat sits looking up at the door to my hall closet for long stretches of time. She sits there, looking up at the door. She’s still alive. Curiosity didn’t kill the cat. Her kidneys will. Curiosity made the cat fun to own.

The first few times I visit the bathroom after I’ve eaten beets, my urine is colored red. When I eat asparagus my urine gives off a pungent odor. I have a sweet tooth and sometimes for a late-night snack I’ll gobble several marshmallows. After, when I visit the bathroom, I see minimarshmallows. Well—not really, but wouldn’t that be fun?

A man called a radio show and described a politician as being “smart as a tack”—“that’s ‘sharp’.” I whispered to myself. Did the show’s host correct the guy? No. Why not?

I think the guy would want to know.

Last year, a local guy put razorblades in a Halloween apple. The kid that got it wasn’t hurt. He noticed the handle sticking out before he bit in. I don’t think they make the kind of razorblades these nut cases used to put in kids Halloween apples. That’s the good thing about these days.

Until “The Waltons” becomes required viewing for high school-aged kids, I think I’d home school.

Loss of local control F

or years afterward it was called the Vicious Act of '92. Act 20 of 1892 decreed the consolidation of the manifold tiny school districts within most towns into a single town district. At one stroke it reduced Vermont's 2,214 school districts by almost 90 percent.

This was, its critics charged, the death of local control of public education-"local" meaning the neighborhood around a school. Eventually the passions of 1892 faded, and citizens came to associate local control with the town school district, where it remained for a century.

The current assault on local control began in 1997, when a liberal legislature enacted Act 60 at the direction of a Supreme Court informed by bogus history and exulting in what even a liberal legal critic described as "a raw exercise of judicial power."

The most revolutionary and controversial of Act 60's provisions was its requirement that all revenues raised locally be shipped to Montpelier, where they would be mixed with state revenues, shifted about, and returned to districts to meet the Court's mandate of "substantially equal access to tax resources."

That broke the historic link between the amount voted by local taxpayers to operate their schools, and the amount of taxes collected for public education. After Act 68 of 2003, school districts where voters chose to spend more than a dollar amount per equalized pupil set by the legislature (currently $8,544) would suffer a corresponding increase in their legislatively-determined residential education property tax rate (currently .86 percent). This was a shrewd attempt to maintain some linkage between spending and taxation, but most voters have long since given up trying to understand how the system works.

The non-financial provisions of Act 60 were every bit as subversive of local control. For years Commissioners of Education had asked for more control over public schools, but the legislature was largely unwilling to grant their pleas. Schools districts were habituated to teacher certification, union bargaining, financial and educational reporting, and civil rights and special education rules. But Act 60 decreed that the Department could enforce "school quality standards", and "standards regulating conditions, practices and resources". It even gained the power - not yet used - to put a school into receivership.

This year saw another wave of attacks on what was left of "local control". The legislature passed a bill to encourage voluntary school district consolidation into "Regional Education Districts". It's perfectly clear to everyone, and especially to the educrats who promoted it, that over time the multitown REDs will be controlled by the department

and the teachers' union, not by local voters and taxpayers. The REDs will become the equivalent of multitown waste management districts.

The second step, presaged

by Gov. Douglas' 2010 state of the state message, will be departmental control over pupil-teacher ratios. The legislature declined to act on that recommendation, but spending pressure on the Education Fund will likely provide the votes to adopt it within a year or two.

The third step came with Challenge for Change. This much-touted process for achieving spending savings assigned a $23 million cost reduction goal to the Department of Education. But the commissioner does not have the power to force voters of school districts to reduce their budgets to meet that goal. The most he can do is contrive district by district reduction targets, and write urgent letters pleading with the school boards to plead with the voters to meet his target. This he did on August 4.

Many districts may well achieve an average of 2.34 percent in spending reduction this year. Over time, however, the commissioner will acquire the power, either by statute or by force of his office, to tell school districts the most that their schools can spend.

As these steps play out, the Commissioner will issue orders to its Regional Education Districts, capping their pupil-teacher ratios and instructing them on how much they are allowed to spend.

Just as local control of subdistrict schools went out with the Vicious Act of '92, local control as it existed prior to 1997 will soon give way to one of two outcomes: either complete state control, or parental control.

The former is the French model, with its nationwide curriculum and all-powerful Ministry of Education.

The latter would decentralize "local" down to the family level: empowered parents would choose the educational program that they believe is best for their children, and providers would compete to please them as customers, not subjects.

There may be trouble ahead...

“There may be trouble ahead... Soon we’ll be without the Moon. Humming a different tune, and then...”

L

ast week, I was listening to an old vinyl record with Fred Astaire singing the Irving Berlin song, “There May Be Trouble Ahead”. A few of the lyrics—repeated above—got me thinking about what the Earth would be like without the Moon.

This intriguing question isn’t just a fanciful “what if” exercise, but an inquiry into what makes our planet such a unique place in our solar system. Raytheon astronomer Stan Odenwald—founder of the Internet’s popular Astronomycafe.net—tackled the problem of a Moonless Earth; he came up with some intriguing possibilities.

First, let’s look at tides. Without Luna, Earth would still have high and low tides thanks to the Sun, but these tides would be half as high as lunar high and low tides. Spring tides (or Neap tides) would disappear since both the Sun and the Moon—on opposite sides of the Earth or on the same side—create these effects. However, large coastal breakers, familiar to residents of California and Oregon, would still occur thanks to the effects of Earth’s rotation and maritime storms.

When it comes to time-keeping, there’d be no need to keep a 12-month calendar without the Moon, said Odenwald. Also, take away the influence of Luna’s gravity upon Earth and fewer volcanoes might have been created during our planet’s long geological history. This problem, with reduced out gassing from volcanoes, might have reduced the density, and perhaps the complex composition, of the terrestrial atmosphere. Such an effect might have reduced or even eliminated the chance of life arising early in the Earth’s history.

Would the lack of a moon near Earth also have prevented continental drift? Odenwald asked. Probably not, he concluded, since convection of molten materials deep within the Earth’s mantle is the result of internal forces not lunar forces.

One intriguing effect of a Moonless planet Earth, Odenwald surmised, would be a world without seasons—or at least seasons very alien to those we’re used to. Many astronomers think the proto Moon was an “interloper”, a planetary wanderer, which came from elsewhere in space and impacted the Earth to form the Moon we know today.

If true, then the Earth’s rotation axis—in pre-lunar epochs—could have been tilted perpendicular to the “ecliptic” or plane of the solar system (rather than titled at nearly 24 degrees as it is now).

Without the Moon, sunlight would reach the Earth’s surface at the same angle throughout the year. At Vermont’s

latitude, for example, the Sun’s rays would strike the ground at 45 degrees daily.

At both poles, the Sun would never rise above the horizon. Thus, at the equator summer would continue year round; at mid-latitudes spring would reign; and at

By Lou Varricchio higher latitudes, winter would continue throughout the year.

Such a hodgepodge of seasons would create wild, unpredictable planetwide weather. So, when the Moon recedes far from Earth in the distant future, as many astronomers believe, there may indeed be trouble ahead.

Local Heritage

Proctor-Dutton feud lasted 75 years Editor’s note: You may recall the infamous Hatfield-McCoy feud (1878–1891) of the West Virginia-Kentucky border between 1878 and 1891. But did you know about Vermont’s Proctor-Dutton family feud? It lasted 75 years but without the bloodshed of the Hatfields and McCoys. And you can blame all the fuss on a muddy road that divided the two families, both literally and figuratively.

Due to business considerations, the former incoming vice president, Jerry Cassels, was required to leave the club. Nominations were held and Cote was unanimously voted to fill the vacant position.

Cote will become a member of the board of directors of the club. He will then have an opportunity to learn about the inner workings of the club that will prepare him to move into the club’s vice presidental position next year.

Brandon residents file supermarket appeal

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Brandon’s proposed 36,000 square-foot Hannaford supermarket and retail center is one step closer to reality. The town’s Development Review Board approved the proposed Hannaford supermarket but several residents have already filed an appeal to stop the project.

The new shopping plaza will be built by William McCabe, a Massachusetts-based commercial developer.

According to the appeal by residents, the project was neither the subject of public hearings nor a statutory notice.

McCabe told news reporters that he considering how to respond to the appeal.

Some residents are also upset about potential truck noise; they claim the noise will exceed a local ordinance and questions.

The proposed Hannaford would employ local residents and keep a significant amount of retail commerce within the town.

Lisa Miller, vice president for real estate development at Hannaford Supermarkets, said the supermarket firm is legally committed to building at the site south of downtown.

Hannaford Supermarkets was recognized with a Clean Air–Cool Planet Climate Champion award for its use of innovative technologies and business practices that help protect the environment recently. The grocer also sells seafood only from sources that are managed to sustain seafood availability for current and future generations.

Rummage sale scheduled The United Methodist Church of Springfield will hold a Rummage Sale Sept. 25, 9 a.m.-2 p.m—coffee and donuts also available.

TIME CAPSULE — E. Howard “Pop” Dorsey, a teacher at the Black River Academy in Ludlow, is pictured here at the wheel of his Model-T Ford on a hunting trip in 1914. Dorsey took two unidentified schoolboys on a black bear hunting expedition to Lake Rescue. Dorsey began his career as an educator at Black River in 1895. One of Dorsey’s most famous students was baseball legend Jim Hastings. Baseball Coach Dorsey encouraged the boy’s talent. Later in life, Hastings played pro ball for the old Boston Braves and never forgot “Pop”.

In 1782, Capt. Leonard Proctor, a Revolutionary War veteran, moved his family to Vermont. With his two sons (Jabez and John) he built a “shunpike” to the village of Gassetts in nearby Chester to avoid paying the tolls of the Green Mountain Turnpike.

Salmon Dutton, who came to Cavendish around the same time, had helped to build the Green Mountain Turnpike, which ran from Bellows Falls to Rutland, bringing Boston coaches north up the Duttonsville Gulf to the village and then west along the present Route 131 through Proctorsville.

The toll-free “shunpike” resulted in northbound traffic from Boston coming directly to Proctorsville and bypassing Duttonsville. Because of the road, the Dutton and Proctor families—as well as the villages of Duttonsville (today know as Cavendish) and Proctorsville—feuded back-and-forth for 75 years.

The marriage of Redfield Proctor and Emily Dutton in 1858 joined the leading families of the two villages and promised to put an end to the former rivalry.

As Redfield said of his first son, Fletcher Dutton Proctor— "If the old names and blood had the old inclination left to stir up strife, it would have created a fearful internal commotion."

In fact, the merger of these families proved to be a propitious event for Vermont, since three governors and a U.S. Senator came from this Dutton-Proctor line.

On Feb. 20, 1907, Proctorsville formally gave notice to the

Town of Cavendish that it wished to be incorporated. Today Proctorsville is a village within the township of Cavendish.

For the month of October, a pictorial display of Proctorsville will be on exhibit in the Cavendish Public Library.

On Oct. 10, the annual cemetery tour will take place at the Hillcrest Cemetery in Proctorsville at 2 p.m. There will be a guided Proctorsville Walking Tour that day starting at 1 p.m. at the war memorial; it will include the cemetery tour.

Carmine Guica, one of CHS’s genealogist, will have information about who is buried in this cemetery.

If you don’t know the story of “Fire Bug Fitton”, Carmine will tell you about it when you visit the family grave plot.

Auditorium prepares for public movie screenings

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Local movie buffs will have a unique opportunity to comfortably view a variety of award-winning family oriented films at the Ludlow Auditorium starting later this year.

Media projection equipment, funded by generous donations from local residents, will be installed in the Ludlow Auditorium to screen classic and recent family films. The screenings will be open to the public. In addition to donations, a money award for the film program was approved by voters during the 2010 Ludlow Town Meeting.

According to Ralph Pace, chairman of FOLA, the Friends of Ludlow Auditorium, Rutland independent-filmmaker David Giancola’s Edgewood Studios provided the hardware. Edgewood will return to the auditorium during the fall to set up the equipment. The equipment, including a projector, is designed to project films onto a large screen. The screen was funded by Ludlow taxpayers.

“All we need now is about $1,000 to enable us to finalize the legal requirements for displaying copyrighted films and purchase a popcorn machine to make everyone feel at home at the movies,” Pace said.

A special movie committee is already preparing a list of appropriate films to offer as well as public screening dates.

Two employees of Edgewood Studios in Rutland delivered projection equipment to the Ludlow Auditorium last week. Family oriented films will be screened at the auditorium starting later this year once the films’ public performance copyrights are ok'd.

Rutland retailer is downtown success story When Tattersall’s Clothing first opened its doors in August 1995, the owners promised Rutland-area shoppers well -made products at reasonable prices and personal service— old fashioned values that are the hallmark of downtown Rutland retailing.

Over the years, Tattersall’s didn’t deviate from the promise. However, since 1995, the product mix has changed significantly. Today Tattersall’s features—in the store’s own words—“fun, occasionally funky, and always funktional” natural fiber clothing and accessories.

This month, Tattersall’s celebrates a milestone 15 years in business. For 15 days, Sept. 16-30, the store is offering a discount off the first item.

As Rutland has changed, so has Tattersall’s changed the focus of its products.

Tattersall’s focuses on mainly natural fiber clothing— itesm such as cotton, alpaca wool, linen, hemp and cotton blends. And in the accessory lines such things as hemp and cotton socks, hemp purses and wallets, scarves in cotton, Pashmina and silk-cotton, as well as “funky”, and fun earrings and barrettes.

But as much as the store has changed, many things have not.

Christine Tattersall, owner of Tattersall’s for these 15 years, is honored that her store manager and buyer Jenn Pattillo has been an integral part of the management of Tattersall’s for most of those 15 years.

Both Christine and Jenn are involved in local efforts to improve the life and economy of Rutland.

Christine serves on a number of boards and committees

Downtown Rutland mainstay Tattersall’s is celebrating a birthday this month. Christine Tattersall, owner, and store manager and buyer Jenn Pattillo have developed a successful retail operation. in the Rutland area, and participates in local road races, both for the thrill of competing and to keep slim and fit.

Jenn is a creative knitter, a volunteer at the Rutland Natural Food Market-the Coop, and a member of the Downtown Rutland Partnership Special Events Committee. She also enjoys biking, hiking, and running.

In a gloomy economy, Tattersall’s is a local bright spot and a role model for other retailers.

U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Michael D. Dubie, the adjutant general of the Vermont National Guard, stands in the Wounded Warrior Ministry Center—nicknamed the "Chaplains' Closet"—at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. He visited wounded warriors hospitalized there in 2009.

U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Jim Greenhill

Maj. Gen. Dubie honored Maj. Gen. Michael D. Dubie was this year's Distinguished Citizen at a convocation ceremony for incoming first-year Champlain College students last week.

Dubie serves as the adjutant general of Vermont, responsible for the 4,000 members of the National Guard and a $220 million annual budget. Leading the Guard during the largest deployment since World War II presents challenges, including ensuring the wounded get medical care and taking care of the families who have lost loved ones overseas.

Dubie was born and raised in the Burlington area and went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics at the University of Vermont and a Masters of Arts degree in international relations from Norwich University. He has studied national and international security at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.

In addition to his professional pursuits, Dubie has volunteered as a coach for youth sports, served on his local school budget advisory committee, currently serves as a member of several board of directors and committees.

Dubie is married to Amy Spagnuolo Dubie, a 1981 Champlain College graduate, and they have three daughters, Chelsea, Whitney and Morgan. His brother, Brian, is leiutenant governor of Vermont and this year ’s Republican candidate for governor.

Habitat for Humanity From page 1 a gas heating sources means a big jump in energy efficiency—a 96 percent energy efficiency is expected.In addition to gas, a passive solar energy hot-water system will help lower costs. The solar system was donated and installed by HP Energy Solutions of Vermont.

According to Habitat officials, energy-efficient windows, installed by Jeld-Wen, will greatly increase the house’s practicality on a low budget; even doors have been installed with efficiency in mind.

Another 21st century design touch in the Habitat house is an air-exchange system that exhausts stale interior air and replaces it with fresh outside air. Another bonus: heat is extracted from the stale air and used to comfortable preheat the incoming air.

According to a statement released by the Greater Springfield Area Habitat for Humanity, “once a family is selected from the many applications we have received, they will contribute 350 sweat equity hours in finishing the home. When the home is finished they will sign a zero percent mortgage for the cost to build it.”

Officials said the mortgage will be held by Springfield Habitat; the homeowner will be responsible for mortgage, tax, water/sewer, and insurance payments, as well as all operating costs.

Greater Springfield Area Habitat officials said they plan to construct one house annually in Springfield, Chester, Grafton, Rockingham, Ludlow, Baltimore, Andover, Weston, Cavendish, and Weathersfield area.

Donations may be mailed to Greater Springfield Area Habitat For Humanity, P.O. Box 143, Springfield, Vt. 05156 or call 802-885-7171.

tem, and much of the pre-construction money has already been expended.

The combination of the cost of acquiring land, the cost of construction and the inevitable environmental hurdles associated with cutting a new roadway make building bypasses very difficult. This is why we look at roads like Route 7 and assess improvements that can be made that both increase safety and allow traffic to flow better.

The kinds of practical tools at our disposal to improve traffic flow and safety are the addition of strategic passing lanes, shoulder widening, adding turn lanes so turning vehicles do not impede the free flow of the mainline, and installing roundabouts at intersections where they make sense.

In some cases, like through Brandon Village, we can also alter the roadway alignment slightly and improve intersections so that traffic can flow more easily through the heart of town, but people should expect to have to slow down as they travel through downtowns.

Here are programming notes from LPCTV, community TV for the Black River Valley, for the upcoming week. LPCTV is on local cable T.V. channels 8 and 10 in Ludlow, Plymouth, Cavendish, and Mount Holly. Local video programming can also be viewed online at www.lpctv.org.

Motorists are likely to remember the late, great summer of 2010 as much by its soaring temperatures over 90 degrees as by its tortoise-like highway traffic patterns. In the case of stop-and-go traffic, blame it on several high-profile highway and bridge construction projects around the region.

While the Lake Champlain Bridge project may have received the most coverage by news media, there are other transportation-related construction jobs—such as the U.S. Route 7 Pittsford-Brandon corridor and the Route 125/Green Mountain National Forest projects—that likely affected a larger volume of local drivers.

For commuters along U.S. Route 7 in northern Rutland County, the summer just ended was a silly season of traffic delays and clouds of dust along the northern Rutland County corridor.

The project, still underway, was designed to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety as well as to enhance mobility along Route 7 through Pittsford and Brandon.

According to VTrans, the work area encompasses rural and town settings from Pittsford to approximately 0.1 mile south of the Brandon town line. The total project length is nearly 12 miles.

While millions are being spent on Route 7 alone this year, the highway never seems to get the kinds of upgrades most daily drivers would like to see—that is, extended passing lanes, increased highway speeds, and bypasses around congested downtown areas.

We asked John Zicconi, director of planning, outreach, and community affairs for the Vermont Agency of Transportation, several questions about the financing and progress of the Brandon project as well as the future viability of Route 7.

Eagle: What is the estimated total cost of the Brandon/Route 7 phase of the project? When will it be completed?

Zicconi: The contract currently underway has a construction total of $11.3 million, but this is only one phase of six phase project that will improve Route 7 from Brandon village through Pittsford village and a small portion just south of Pittsford village. Total cost of all six phases is estimated at $60 million.

The current construction will be completed next year, but our intention is to run through the six segments one after another. We’re not yet sure just how long that will take, but it certainly will take but we are likely talking the better part of a decade if not longer.

The Eagle: How is this cost broken down federal vs. state funding?

Zicconi: The current contract is being done with federal stimulus money, so it is 100 percent federal funds. The other five phases will be the usual 80 percent federal, 20 percent state.

The Eagle: Was this a "stimulus" project or budgeted before the stimulus?

Zicconi: Only the current contract is stimulus. The other five phases will be our usual funding of 80/20 as mentioned above.

The Eagle: What was the main reason for the work just south of Brandon? Was it all safety related?

Zicconi: Safety is one factor. The other is mobility. This 12- mile stretch of Route 7 does not meet modern standards for a major roadway (12-foot travel lanes and 8-foot shoulders) so this project will bring this segment of Route 7 up to modern specifications, which will improve both safety and mobility.

The Eagle: With all the Route 7 work being done, why aren't we seeing more extended passing lanes being created? It seems Route 7 will be just as congested. Is this a false perception?

Zicconi: The project does include three passing lanes, but they are all located further south of the current construction and will be part of future construction contracts.

The Eagle: What is the long range viability of Route 7? Do you see more bypasses—say around Middlebury—in the future?

Assuming Vermonters will still want to travel by car, and to support tourism as well as commerce, how can improved vehicular access between Rutland and Burlington be supported by Route 7 without extended multiple lanes for passing and bypasses around bottleneck towns such as Middlebury?

Zicconi: Once we complete the Bennington and Morrisville bypasses in 2012, the days of building bypasses are likely behind us. These projects have long been in our sys-

Fall Home Improvement 2010 www.gmoutlook.com

WEDNESDAY September 22, 2010

OUTLOOK - 9

Back-to-basics home improvements can help lower taxes While small things help, it's the big steps consumers take to improve their home's energy efficiency that truly make a difference, according to researchers at Scientific American magazine.

Of the 505 Americans surveyed by the Earth Institute and Center for Research on Environmental Decisions, more than 40 percent said the most effective way to save energy was to turn off lights, drive less or adjust the thermostat. Less than 10 percent identified what researchers say are more effective measures -- improving your home's overall efficiency, like buying energy-saving appliances or replacing old windows with more energy-efficient ones.

"Now is an ideal time to replace drafty windows or doors," says Annette Bravard, vice president of retail replacement at Pella Corporation. "Installing energy-efficient windows and doors can help lower your utility bills and increase your energy efficiency for years to come, and help you qualify for 2010 U.S. energy tax credits. If you've been putting off window or door replacement, now's the time to do it."

To meet requirements for up to $1,500 in U.S. energy tax credits, qualifying windows and doors must be installed by Dec. 31, 2010.

Simplify your replacement Sometimes the most daunting aspect of a home improvement project is figuring out how to pay for it. Once homeowners take the first step toward securing financing options, they're surprised how quickly and easily windows and doors can be replaced, Bravard says.

Whether you want to replace all your windows at once or start with just one door, these steps will help get your replacement project under way.

1. Financing - Contact your lender or the window company you're buying from to discuss possible financing options.

Not ready for a big remodeling project right now? Consider a multi-year approach that fits your needs.

2. Schedule appointment - Schedule an in-home consultation with a window company expert to discuss your energyefficiency, installation and timing goals.

3. Window/door selection - Your window expert will help you choose energy-efficient windows and doors based on your home's style, your climate and your budget. They can also arrange for installation.

Replacement projects don't need to be messy, time-consuming or complicated. In fact, it's possible to install new windows without replacing wallpaper or repainting your walls, Bravard says.

Pella Precision Fit replacement windows provide a simplified solution for home renovation. These easy-to-install replacement windows slide into existing window openings helping retain surrounding interior trim, wallpaper, paint or plaster. The windows are designed for applications where the exterior frame remains in good condition, but an upgraded sash unit can increase energy efficiency and eye appeal.

Choose from awning, transom and casement windows -whichever meet your needs and the style of your home.

Concerned about costs? Consider vinyl windows and doors that offer low maintenance, durability, distinctive design and energy efficiency.

"With so many energy-efficient options, stylish new replacement windows and doors can help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer while creating a better view," Bravard says.

If you're ready to take on this energy-saving project, visit pella.com for a downloadable step-by-step guide to window and door replacement.

WEDNESDAY September 22, 2010

Bathroom remodeling today means less money down the drain You're ready for a new bathroom, something with style and comfort. You want the room to refresh you in the mornings, and provide you with the opportunity to relax and unwind in the evenings.

As you start to design your bathroom remodel, you immediately put comfort at the top of your priority list. You want a beautiful shower with superb water pressure that feels oh-so-good in the mornings or a sink that allows you to quickly and efficiently wash your hands and face so you can wake up and get started for the day.

Another notion to put at the top of your list is water efficiency. In fact, high-efficiency is now the standard for bathroom showers, sinks and toilets. In the United States, products with the Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense label are high-performing, water-efficient and tested by a third, independent party to be certified.

It's a misconception that high-efficiency products don't perform well. Technology is so improved that you can get the same invigorating stream of water in your morning shower while using less water. Another mistaken belief is that high-efficiency products are very expensive. Most green

products don't cost any more than regular showers, sinks or toilets.

Toilets are the biggest source of water usage in your home - representing almost a third of your family's total indoor water consumption. And high-efficiency toilets, like TOTO's high-efficiency Double Cyclone toilets, only use 1.28 gallons of water per flush, which could save a family of four more than $2,000 over the lifetime of the toilet. These EPA WaterSense-labeled toilets make water work harder by marrying flawless performance to exceptional bowl cleansing action to create a green, clean flushing system that saves you money, water, and time cleaning the toilet, always a thankless task.

Of course, as you redesign your bath, you get to choose the style and look. Your taste might be a large, claw-foot tub that allows you to immerse yourself in a froth of bath bubbles, or you might go for a more modern design with glass shower walls and bold tile colors. Either way, make sure you upgrade your faucet and showerhead. TOTO's Guinevere high-efficiency faucets and showerheads offer stylish, high performance that can cut water usage by more than 32 per-

cent compared to standard models.

Conserving water in your newly redesigned bathroom allows you to be green, save money, save time, and be conscientious about the environment - without losing the advantage of that great performance you have come to expect. So enjoy the comfort and luxury of your bath space, and reap the money-saving rewards at the same time.

Home improvement projects made easier by technology on its website, LumberLiquidators.com, for homeowners to view different varieties of floors within a number of different types of rooms and setups. Users can swap out the flooring, change the cabinet and wall colors, save their designed rooms and even e-mail the combination to themselves or friends.

The site also allows visitors to view before and after pictures from actual customers in order to get ideas for their own homes. Ultimately, homeowners must feel comfortable in their homes and the decor and tone should really fit their personalities and lifestyles.

Planning made mobile Many people find themselves with limited time, and planning a home improvement project ends up at the end of a very long todo list. For these homeowners, mobile applications are ideal to make progress - while waiting for the bus or during their lunch break - even if they don't have time to sit

down and plan a home improvement project.

Mobile applications can also save DIYers a little cash as they don't have to spend money on expensive tools. Apps can be a remodeler's best friend as they'll do everything from turning a phone into a level, converting measurement units, serving as a flashlight or identifying the cheapest retailer to buy tools. The "Floor Finder" even tells homeowners the amount of flooring needed to fill a room. Homeowners can download the "Floor Finder" for free at the Apple iTunes store.

Besides doing everything but physically completing the project, technology can be a huge help in the home improvement process.

Homeowners should take advantages of ways to make their lives - and projects - easier.

These useful tools and more can be found within the productivity and utility sections of your preferred app store.

School's back in session - be sure to do your 'home' work The school year brings crazy schedules of carpools and extracurricular activities. To help keep some sanity during your hectic days, do your "home" work. A few simple steps to get your house organized and updated can mean less stress during the year.

Everything has its place In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, things have a way of being thrown on the floor or misplaced when entering or exiting the home. Stop the chaos now by establishing a location for everyday items such as keys, shoes, jackets and backpacks to ensure everything has its place. It's easy to create a storage area in your mudroom. Cubbies, hooks and baskets make hanging items effortless and also provide a place to store extra objects or sports equipment.

Super savers To prevent added stress and chaos, be sure to plan ahead for the busy weeknights after school and work. You can save time and money by preparing meals for the week during the weekend. Sundays are a perfect day to cook up some nutritious and delicious dinners to freeze for the following week.

Have your children help out and not only will you be able to spend quality time with the family, but you'll also make sure the menu is to everyone's liking.

Not a big fan of cooking? Another option is to have meals prepared for you. Companies, such as Super Suppers, can help prevent dinner stress. You can select dinner entrees within your price range, pick them up at your convenience and cross another item off the to-do list.

Help your children have a successful school year by creating a productive study area. Locate a spot with minimal distractions to set up a desk and chair with all of their books and materials. Be sure the room has sufficient lighting and keep necessary supplies such as pens, calculators and reference materials on hand. To help prevent wasted study time, consider adding a power charger or charging station for items like laptops and smart phones.

Visual and digital planner Being super mom or super dad during the school year is tough while juggling your children's schedules and your own. Get organized with a visual or digital planner so you never have to worry about missing a doctor's appointment, school play, cheerleading or football practice again. Hang a master calendar that lists all of the important family activities and appointments. A mesh bulletin board is a great option, such as the one from Crate and Barrel, that comes with both push pins and magnets. And, as a bonus, it cleans off easily with a damp cloth. For those who prefer the digital world, be sure to sync up schedules in Outlook and set audible reminders.

The school year brings both joys and challenges. Help to keep your family's spirits up by completing these easy "home" work tasks early to ensure an enjoyable time for all.

Autumn in the garden

Landscaping & Woodbury’s Garden Center

By Charlie Nardozzi & Leonard Perry Harvesting winter squash and pumpkins, moving peonies, and shredding leaves are some of the gardening activities Vermonters will be taking care during early autumn.

You can harvest winter squash and pumpkins any time they're mature—that is, when the rinds are too tough to puncture with a thumbnail. Some gardeners wait until a light frost kills back the vines, to allow the squash as much time as possible to mature.

To harvest, use a knife to cut the stem an inch or two above the squash or pumpkin. If you didn’t grow any pumpkins this year, visit a local grower or roadside stand. Use them for decorating, plain or painted, carved, and for cooking pies and roasting seeds.

Any fall weeding you do will reduce your weeding chores in the spring. Pull weeds before they set seed if they haven’t already, and you eliminate the task of pulling all those little seedlings. A single weed plant may set hundreds, or even thousands, of seeds, so don't delay. Remove tough perennial weeds such as dandelion and burdock by digging out their roots. Fall weeding is rewarding as the weeds wont grow back this season, as they do during the summer.

Fall is a good time to test your soil's pH or acidity. This is crucial to making nutrients available to plants. By adding any necessary amendments now, they'll have time to break down over the winter since they tend to be slow acting. Extension Service offices do soil tests for a nominal fee, and the test results include recommendations for improving the soil. Most plants prefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.5 to 6.8 (a pH of 7 is neutral). New England soils tend to be acidic and require the addition of lime to "sweeten" the soil, or raise the pH. As soon as frost kills back the tops of tender, summer-flowering bulbs, such as dahlias, gladiola, and tuberous begonias, it's time to dig the bulbs to store indoors over the winter. Gently brush the soil from the bulbs, allow them to dry for day or two, then set them in dry peat moss or vermiculite and store them in a cool (40 to 50 degrees F), non-freezing, dark place.

Don’t hold dahlias too long before storing, or they’ll begin to

dry out and shrivel.

Now, too, is the time to plant spring-flowering bulbs such as tulips and daffodils.

Banned From page 8 community book standards— “Times have changed. Today, it’s really up to parents to monitor what their children are reading,” Clark noted. “And one parent, or one group, can’t be the judge of what the children of other parents should be reading.”

Vermont public libraries haven’t had much trouble with banned books, according to Clark. Vermonters appear to be more tolerant of diverse opinions than elsewhere.

Most Vermont libraries strive to keep the shelves stocked with books that are of value to the community—from reference to fiction titles—Clark stressed. But sometimes, works of fiction, even non-fiction, will be offensive to someone.

The freedom to read requires eternal vigilence and engaged readers, librarians, booksellers and elected officials. Thankfully, Vermont is blessed with many citizens who care deeply about the printed word and their right to it.

Black River dodges rain; edges Out Green Mt. Get In The Game A View on Sports by Joe Milliken

I

n a recent rival boys soccer match up, the visiting Black River Presidents scored a goal early, then made it stand in a 1-0 victory over the Green Mountain Chieftains in Chester. It was the seasonopener for the Presidents, while the Chieftains (at press time) fell to 0-2 on the young season.

In a defensive struggle most of the way and after some rain and lightning had delayed the first half by some 40 minutes, Black River largely outplayed Green Mountain especially which allowed them to get a few scoring chances early, one in which they were able to cash in.

"Outside of about a 20 minute period towards the end, I felt we did a pretty good job of containing their offense," Black River coach Tony Valente said. "Although we are a relatively inexperienced group our strength is in the back, so we did a pretty good job at making the one goal stand

up. However, Coach Walker has his kids playing hard and together as a team."

Less than 10 minutes into the match and before the rain delay, Black River senior Noah Schmidt lofted a shot off a corner kick into the box and although G.M. keeper Jacob Walker jumped and got his finger tips on it, the ball bounced right in front of Tim Rumrill who tapped it in for the score. It would prove to be the game-winner.

Neither team could get much going offensively the rest of the way, although Chieftain senior Jason Albert had a breakaway right after the lone goal in which Black River goalkeeper Kyle Milligan raced out to challenge the ball and managed to smother it before Albert could get a shot off.

Despite several good opportunities early in the first half, Black River could not capitalize again, as G.M. began taking away the outside lanes as to eliminate crosses that had created some good opportunities for the Presidents.

"We did a good job at making the proper adjustments after that early goal," Green Mountain Coach Scott Walker said in a post-game interview. "Despite our two losses to start the season, I am pleased with our progress and this team is going to keep getting better. The wins will come."

For the match, Black River held a 9-2 edge in shots on goal, while also having the upper hand on corner kicks, 60. Both teams will next participate in Black River's annual Josh Cole Tournament to be held over the weekend at Dorsey Park in Ludlow.

Green Mountain goal keeper Jacob Walker (no. 1) attempts a save on a corner kick. The shot floated through his fingertips, leading to the only goal of the match.
