Here comes the Sun! Solar array to open in Ferrisburgh

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com Vermont’s largest solarelectric array, and the largest station of its kind north of New Jersey, will start generating electricity from sunlight sometime in early December.

Christened the Ferrisburgh Solar Farm, the 15-acre energy station—located on the west side of U.S. Route 7 adjacent to the VUHS athletic fields— will “harvest” 1-megawatt of electricity from the Sun that will power the equivalent of nearly 200 homes. The photovoltaic electricity generated will be fed, via electrical inverter, to Green Mountain Power and the power grid.

Built and maintained by Ferrisburgh Solar Farm, LLC—a new project developed by Pomerleau Real Estate of Burlington—owner Ernest A. Pomerleau conceived of the big solar array and was the driving force in making the ambitious commercial venture a reality.

“If you think about what we’re trying to accomplish here,” said Steve Ploesser, vice president of construction management for Pomerleau, “we’re trying to take sunlight and absorb as much of it as we can because it’s the sunlight that activates the electrons in the silicon cells. The electrons are moving, they jump on to the wires embedded in the silicon and they

Ludlow Armory transformed into a community focal point Following its initial review of the Ludlow Armory and Tank Barn construction project, Ludlow Town Manager Frank Heald provided an update to the construction and get an estimated date when the project would be completed.

Pictured is the area where a sidewalk will be installed from the Ludlow Elementary School to the front door of the new dining room in the main Armory building.

Heald noted that the sidewalk will have electric cable embedded in it to melt snow on it for the safety of the students and faculty travelling from either the high school or elementary school. ...Turn to page 11 for more about the Ludlow Armory

The son of Bill and Charlene Godair of Mendon, Godair displays a maturity not frequently encountered among his peers. But not unlike most male teens, he likes pizza, video games, and an action-packed life.

It may look like Godair has a lot on his plate, but he seems to relish it—he has been a member of the RHS Raiders football team, serves as a cadet officer in the Rutland Squadron of the U.S. Civil Air Patrol, and is poised to earn his Eagle Scout rank as a member of Pittsford BSA Troop 110. In addition to his uniformed commitments, Godair enjoys whitewater rafting, outdoor adventuring, and a variety of similar leadershipbuilding activities.

During the month of June, the young Godair bunked at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas were he served as an active member of a unique Civil Air Patrol aviation education program that exposed him to everything “flight” related— from jet cockpit communications to air traffic control. ...Turn to page 9 to read more on Shaun Godair

The Wejua Files: In search of Bigfoot

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com Part 2: Editor’s note: This is part of occasional series about Bigfoot and Champ sightings in Vermont and New York.

A group of amateur researchers are searching the north woods of Vermont and New York for a strange woodland creature, long thought to be extinct, popularly known in folklore as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. In the North Country of New York, New England and Quebec, the creature is known by its Abenaki name, Wejua.

Is Wejua a hominoid? The majority of biologists scoff at the idea that a large “ape”, a close relative to mankind, still populates the woodlands of North America.

Hominoids are members of biology’s superfamily of primates; it includes both apes and humans. So, based upon the details of dozens of eyewitness accounts in New York and Vermont since the 1600s, if a living (or dead) Wejua is ever produced, it will most likely be classified as an hominoid by science.

Bigfoot or Wejua sightings are the focus of the Northern Sasquatch Research Society based in Hudson Falls, N.Y. Its members include Frank Siecienski of Hubbardton, Brian Gosselin of Whitehall, Cliff South of South Glens Falls, and John Pearson and Bill Brann of Glens Falls.

Over the next several weeks, in multiple parts and through the voices of NSRS researchers themselves, we’ll report on spine-tingling accounts of Bigfoot in our region.

Former Whitehall police officer Brian Gosselin was an eyewitness to a now famous incident on Abair Road in Hampton, N.Y., near the Vermont state Prom Gowns line, across from Fair Haven.

Gosselin has been featured on • Bridal several national television doc• Bridesmaids umentaries about Bigfoot.

We continue our multi-part • Mother interview with NSRS re• Flower Girl searchers about Bigfoot sight• Prom Gowns ings in our region: L.V. Brian, Bigfoot and Yeti • Tuxedos researchers around the word • Invitations know you. You’re an eyewitness • Veils to an amazing event that occured back in 1976 in Whitehall, • Jewelry N.Y. Can you and Bill Brann • Shoes please talk about it?

Gosselin: Well, I was a Whitehall patrolman in 1976. I was in my patrol car when another car comes barreling down 50870

Williams Street. It came to a dead stop right next to me. The guys in the car were clearly agitated. They told me they had just witnessed a weird creature on Abair Road.

“We need help,” one of them said to me. “We gotta get this and we gotta get that.” They were extremely excited.

I looked at them. Seriously, I replied, “what kind of stuff are guys on? Are you drinking?”

They were serious all right. They left me there and then went to the Petco station—it used to be an all-night garage— to pick up a friend Mark Penny.

Brann: Ok, I’ll pick up the story at this point.

All three young men went back to Abair Road. I later questioned Mark Gosselin about what he and the others saw. He said that what they saw was a “large shadow” moving out into the field. (The landscape has changed quite a bit around there today.) They immediately drove back to Whitehall and then talked to Brian again.

Gosselin: These guys were serious. Mark was wound up; there was really something out there. So I called my father, a fellow police officer, who had just gone off duty. I also called the New York State Police and the sheriff’s department. Two state troopers, a sheriff, my father, Mr. Penny, my brother Paul, and Marty went out there. When they returned there (Abair Road) they all saw the same thing at the same time. They had, what ever it was, in a spotlight... it was maybe 500 to 600 yards away.

You could see a monstrosity going up along the hedge row, then over a fence, and into a patch of thick briar and thornapple. That’s where it disappeared. But this wasn’t the end of it. It continued into the next day.

Bill Brann interviewed the eyewitnesses later. Bill, can you jump in and continue?

Brann: Ok. Brian heard a report on the police scanner that something was going on. Now the Gosselins only live a few miles from Abair Road.

So, Paul Gosselin and his father had walked out into the field. They were then greeted by a tremendous vocalization that trumpeted across the field! Father and son moved back to the safety of the edge of the road.

Meanwhile a deputy sheriff was out in the field with a searchlight. The light fell on the thing.

The deputy blurted out: “What the hell is that?!” (He later denied saying that.) They all knew exactly what it was. But they never labeled it (as Bigfoot).

I was there for a long time interviewing everyone to get the story. What they said, as I was told, was that it was between sevenand eight-feet tall. It had long hair in the back and walked with a slight hunch. Because it was dark outside, they couldn’t distinguish any fingers, hands (or other details).

Ah, but this wasn’t the end of it! Brian Gosselin can tell you all about his experience (his close encounter) on the following night.

To be continued.

GUESTVIEWPOINT New power contract is a good deal for Vermont

W

ith the signing of a new contract with HydroQuebec, which will provide Vermonters with a baseload supply of clean, renewable energy for 26 years, Vermonters’ focus on electricity supply options has been once again renewed. That’s good, because we face critical decisions in the coming months and years.

The Hydro-Quebec contract is the best deal we have signed in quite some time. In the competitive solicitation process conducted last year, none of the renewable-based offers performed close to this deal’s combination of price, firmly scheduled delivery, volume, credit quality, reliability and term. Bottom line, this is a very good contract for Vermont’s economy, environment and reliability.

The expected 6-cent starting price is akin to our existing contract, and a very attractive price for a firm, renewable, low-emission power supply. More than 90 percent of the energy will be renewable.

The contract will also prevent large swings in the cost of the energy purchased from HQ. The contract will benefit our customers by adjusting the price downward if future power market prices decline, and limiting upward increases if market prices increase.

Our HQ energy purchases at Central Vermont Public Service will be a bit smaller than in the past, which means we can continue to support more local renewable projects regardless of the outcome of the Vermont Yankee relicensing and contract negotiations. Together with our own generation, small power producers and contracts for new renewable energy, these smaller projects will help Vermont maintain what we believe is the cleanest power supply in the nation.

Air emissions at the source of our generation are minimal. In 2009, just 0.1 percent of CVPS’s identifiable energy deliveries were generated by burning oil. Just over 3 percent of our supply came from non-specified sources through ISO-New England market purchases or non-renewable purchases from HQ. We didn’t knowingly purchase any coal-fired energy. In contrast, more than half the electricity generated in the United States comes from dirty coal.

We still have plenty of work to do to complete our power portfolio – developing and expanding our own renewable generation and signing contracts with small and mediumsized local power suppliers. We also have plans regardless of whether Vermont Yankee is relicensed.

Meantime, we’re also focusing on our transportation emissions, which are of equal concern. CVPS has steadily expanded its reliance on hybrid and hybrid-electric vehicles, and already has rate options in place to help purchasers of the next generation of all-electric vehicles operate them efficiently.

CVPS plug ’n go™ was created to help hybrid-electric and all-electric vehicle owners charge their cars at off-peak rates, which provides electric-powered transportation for the equivalent of about a dollar per gallon of gas. It could also play a big role in reducing Vermont’s vehicle emissions, which dwarf emissions from our electricity supply.

Portrait of a black hole B

lack holes represent the wonder and mystery of modern astronomy. These sinkholes in space have inspired a whole new field of deep-space research.

Nothing, not even light rays, can escape the gravitational clutches of black holes. They are deformities in the spacetime continuum and are created by highly compact masses and then fed by cosmic debris for millions, even billions of years.

If humans could travel down a black hole (not really very likely despite sci-fi tales to the contrary), they’d end up—where? No one really knows. What’s inside these black holes? Do they emerge somewhere—or somewhen— else? If we ever know for sure, it will be thanks to mathematics and observation. The super gravity field lines and extreme cosmic radiations around these holes would obliterate all life, so we’re not likely to ever get too close to these weird objects.

This year began a complex effort by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics to electronically link dozens of radio astronomical observatories around the world to perform a very daring task—photograph a black hole for the first time in history.

When completed around the year 2020, the proposed Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT, will span our globe using a process called Very Long Baseline Interferometry.

VLBI enables simultaneous observations of deep-space objects by multiple telescopes. In the case of the EHT project now underway, the radio telescopes are being combined to create a single, giant telescope on Earth. Thus, the scope’s size equals the extreme separation between the telescopes.

Currently international observatories on five continents, including one at the U.S. South Pole Station, are teaming up as the key components of EHT. The target of EHT is the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A* or Sadge-A Star for short. This object, discovered in 1974, cannot be observed in the optical spectrum; this means no human eye can ever see it.

Sage-A* can only be observed in regions of the electromagnetic spectrum that are both far above and below the visible spectrum—these regions include microwaves (above or longer wavelengths) and x-rays and gamma rays (below or shorter wavelengths).

Sadge-A* is a highly active radio source at the bull’s eye of our galaxy’s core; it is 26,000 light years away from us.

From Earth, it is located on the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius. And just like every galaxy we observe in deep space, our Milky Way has an immense gravity hole at its center.

How big is Sadge-A*?

Well, it’s big on a mindnumbing scale. The Milky Way’s mother of all black holes is estimated to have a mass equivalent to 4 million

By Lou Varricchio suns. The stellar mass is compressed into a small volume—and that’s essentially what makes the immense “dark star”.

Sadge-A*’s event horizon, the boundary around the black hole, is 24 million kilometers (15 million miles) in diameter. It’s so large that it is 20 microarcseconds across in the sky or one part per 10 billion of a circle. As seen from Earth, it’s approximately the size of one of Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard’s golf balls left on the Moon in 1971.

Because the gravity of Sadge-A* bends light, it acts as a giant lens. So when the EHT array finally assembles the data to create an image of Sadge-A*, it will be more of a silhouette of the black hole, not the actual object. And the object will appear larger than it actually is.

Astronomers predict that Sadge-A* will look lopsided due to its hyper spinning; light rays approaching Earth will be brightest when compared to those traveling in the opposite direction.

What’s in the Sky: Look for Comet Hartley 2 in the night sky this week. The 6th magnitude comet is visible in binoculars during the evening high in Perseus. On Oct. 20, the comet will be closest to Earth. For an online sky map of the comet’s path see: http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/0103P/2010.html.

Money, music, misbehavior, and missing out

E

xistential question: if it walks like a duck, but isn’t labeled as a duck, is it still a duck? I’d say yes, but that’s because I’m just an amateur researcher, not a highly-skilled professional in the general field of education and the specific subfield of the Student-Who-Won’tLearn (SWWL) phenomenon.

With one exception, cited in an earlier column, the SWWL label is verboten for this subject. Instead, real researchers are required to use phrases like “student assent” and “relational power”.

You’ll find the former in the subtitle of “I Won’t Learn from You, the Role of Assent in Learning”, a 1992 teachersare-guilty little book by educator Herbert Kohl and you’ll find the latter in “When Students Have Relational Power”, a 2006 paper by academic researcher John Smyth.

Kohl explains that student refusal to learn stems from such teachers’ faults as using the sexist “he” instead of the inclusive “people” when speaking, and Smyth explains that student refusal to learn stems from the teachers’ superior position in the classroom.

The tragedy of my younger life, I now understand, was my subservient behavior in the classroom, my failure to resist various teacher “isms” and my deferential willingness to accept subject-error correction from a dominant singlewhite-female authority figure.

Had I been more conversant with social justice, I would have saved face by not making errors trying to learn math and reading, by the passive device of choosing not to learn (missing out) and the active device of classroom disruption (misbehavior). Consider the “face” argument as described in the SAGE Handbook of Curriculum and Instruction, Connelly et al., 2008.

Here’s a quote from p. 204: “To try to learn something new with a teacher is to display one’s self to the teacher as incompletely competent, and these slightly damaged performances by the learner in tandem with the teacher may well be visible to fellow students as well. Thus, the potentially audienced character of every action by a student that was previously mentioned above presents the potential risk of face threat to a student at every moment in which the student attempts to learn something new. Taking the risk of face threat, then, is necessary if one is to attempt a new skill. And, depending on what Dewey (1938, 1963) called ‘the total social set-up of the classroom’ (p.45), students’ attempts to learn can be more or less risky in terms of face threat”.

If I’d known that I’d never have gone to the chalkboard to perform before my 30 or so classmates when so ordered by my SWWF classroom overseer: the SAGE manual teaches the teacher not to achieve student proficiency by correction of error. Let them sit there, missing out, studentswho-won’t-learn, making no errors, but with intact face.

And I actually believed that the humiliation of getting it wrong was an incentive for getting it right. How primitive

it was, then.

The ancient Romans called surly citizen pacification bread-and-circuses; in modern public education, it’s called money and music.

Not all educators support this incentivization; some call it bribery. The literature is unclear on the subject of actual Students-Who-Won’tLearn behavior: is it active classroom disruption, necessitating teacher abandonment of the other 15 in the class to try to deal with one (ejection to the principal’s office no longer allowed in public school) or is it just passive classroom disengagement? If so, the teacher can still devote effort to the 15 who have “assented” (a little Kohl lingo, there) to learn something and thereby avoid missing out on a free (well, taxpayerfunded) opportunity.

What is more interesting is the question about teacher competence (and accountability for student achievement) it raises. If the SWWL’s are paid or entertained to demonstrate proficiency, does the teacher thereby get more accountability points and merit pay? What about the equally skilled teacher in the district which chooses not to bribe –oops, make that “incentivize”-- dismissal for incompetence? What about dismissal for SWWL’s, not their adult supervisors? Or is that forbidden by the 28th Amendment: “No SWWL, whether actively disruptive or passively disengaged, shall be dismissed from the classroom”?

Closing note: I tried really, really hard to appreciate the “Forgive-us-Father-for-we-have-sinned” apologia of Mr. Kohl and other educators for the sins of dealing insensitively with SWWL’s, but eventually I refused to assent to his teaching.

While I expect a really high grade for trying really hard, I won’t reject my own personal SWWL label for refusing to learn. Wearing that label earns me the compassion of William Ayers, highly skilled education critic/writer and Progressive activist/domestic terrorist/explosives expert.

He writes, in a blurb on the Kohl book, of the oppression and brutality SWWL’s experienced and commends SWWL’s, (that now includes me) for “acting reasonably and intelligently in the face of brutality and craziness”.

I had never realized that I had meekly endured conditions of brutality and craziness at my old F.W. Pennington Elementary School. Example: the desk-chair combinations, in rows, were fixed to the floor.

Chili event adds ‘south of the border’ flare to Ludlow

By Mary Moeykens The 20th Annual Ludlow Rotary Chili Cook-Off, held Oct. 9, was the best attended chili event yet. Glenn Heitsmith, chairman of the cook-off event, helped organize the event for the Ludlow Rotary Club.

The event cost wasonly $7 per person and included a bowl for all-you-can-eat chili—also a competition—as well as cider, bread, and ice cream to help tame the flame.

The proceeds from the event benefit the Black River Valley Senior Center.

Harris Family Chili won the Ludlow People's Choice Award with 56 votes.

Los Fearmanos by Ian Bruso and John Foreman took second with 52 votes.

Ghost Pepper Chili by Chris Saylor finished third with 40 votes.

The Judges’ Choice favorite chili plaque went to Gill Odd Fellows Home.

The judges Spiciest Award went to Ghost Pepper Chili.

Vermont State Rep. candidate Brigid Faenza's Candidate Chili garnered the Team Spirit Award.

Retired chef Contessa D. LaPasta returned for a second year as a taste-tester. Locally known as Vicki Corrao of Cavendish, LaPasta joined first-time judges Steve Birge, co-owner of Black River Produce, and Vermont Sen. Alice Nitka.

The Chili Cook-Off occupied a large tent at the corner of Depot and Main streets in the center of downtown Ludlow.

By Mary Moeykens As hungry visitors attended the downtown Chili Cook-Off in Ludlow last week, there were two other events that attracted locals and tourists alike.

The second event was the dedication of a newly renovated town park to Daniel Kesman.

Kesman played a significant roll in helping to build the Ludlow community in recent decades. He was at one time the director of the Black River Historical Society. He also served the community as selectman, chairman of the Ludlow Planning Commission, president of the Windsor County Bar Association, Ludlow town attorney, town agent, and

municipal judge. He was also active in the Ludlow Rotary Club.

The park was originally dedicated to Kesman on June 21, 1988 —a year after he passed away of a heart attack.

Sadly, after 22 years, the park needed to be reworked. A local organization, Streetscapes, held several fund raising events between 2009 and 2010 as well as a generous donation by the Ludlow Enterprise Fund.

The New England Deck and Patio Company carried out the park paving work. The firm also donated the material and labor for an extra walkway decoration that enhances the cobbled pavement surface.

Streetscape employees held a special

raffle to raise the needed funds. Raffle winners were announced at the dedication event last week. The first place winner was Robert Pfieifer of Somets, Conn., for $1,000, the second place winner was Bonnie Bercowetz of Ludlow for $500, and the third place winner was Dan Roman of Meriden, CT for $250.

Kesman’s widow, Sylvia and her children Sheryl and Stephen and her grandchildren, were on hand to celebrate the new dedication.

Newspapers are a thing of mine

I

n Vermont we live happily content within a season—to a point.

When the point is about to be passed, the season changes.

Good. We love it.

Regarding seasons, I crave change; regarding my daily activities, not so much.

I eat lunch at the same place every day I’m able, and I’m able most every day. I make my bed every morning, brush my teeth three times a day, and exercise every day, a couple times a day. I foresee a day when I won’t eat lunch at the same place every day because businesses don’t last forever, but mostly all the things I do every day I will do every day until my last.

If you go to the gym I go to, about the same time span I go, on a regular basis, and have the slightest ability to perceive, you know I read the newspapers on the cardio machines every day. On the Stairmaster I ply open the papers, which depending on my interest in that day’s content takes me 15 to sometimes a little more than 30 minutes to read.

I’m off the Stairmaster after thirty minutes, and I set and continue my cardio on a stationary bike, continuing to scour the final bits of the paper, or cracking open and starting on the New York paper. If I finish it before the hour, I read on a book I’ve brought.

This newspaper reading. It’s what I do, every day. I love to do it. It’s my little thing. It’s my pleasure. It’s a habit, a

weakness, call it an affectation if you’d like; I don’t care what the heck it is, as long as it is that I read my papers while I exercise my heart every day on the Stairmaster and stationary bike—damn it.

A week ago a gym regular who also brings and reads a New York paper everyday, walked over to me up on the Stairmaster and asked if he could see my paper for “just a minute.” Just a minute, is what he said. He’d forgotten to buy one that day.

I was curious. Will he actually just “look” at my paper and for “just a minute,” while standing beside me, and hand it back, or will he read my paper for a great deal more than a minute, on his favorite stationary bike, which is across the way and down from mine? And if he does read the entire thing, will he bring it back as soon as he’s done, so if I’m done reading my Vermont paper I can continue reading with the New York paper, the way I so love to do every day of the year?

By the way, the guy is a good guy, we chat occasionally.

He certainly knows I read my New York paper at the gym every day.

What does the guy do when I hand him the paper? He takes it to his bike, places his towel on the handlebars, sets the paper on his towel, settles in, starts spinning his legs, and reads. And reads. And reads. He ain’t just taking a quick look.

When he’s completely finished he turns to the vacant bike to his left, and sets the paper on the seat. He ain’t bringing it back, at least not until he’s done his workout. Holy crap!

I finish the paper and start on my book. Freaks me a little to be reading out of my regular sequence, but I hang in. My 30 minutes is up on the Stairmaster before the dude is completed his spin, so I go over and politely ask if he’s “all set,” with my paper to which he, while streams of sweat meander

down his ruddy cheeks replies “Oh yeah, I was waiting for someone to come past here so they could bring it over to you.”

“Oh,” I nod, having already turned, paper in hand, to my stationary bike.

Is the man’s behavior selfish? Or am I selfish feeling like I won’t lend him my paper the next time he asks, if only on principal?

I don’t mind I wasn’t able to read my paper when I wanted to, I just wonder, if I had a kid, would I teach he or she that if they forgot their paper on a certain day they should not borrow someone else’s, but instead, they should go without that day, or wait and buy themselves one the next time they had the chance.

At least I got a kick out of the guy.

Funny thing, a couple days after, another guy, short, loud, always spoutin off about politics and how Stowe residents are constantly getting screwed, came barreling toward me and said “Hey Rusty, I forgot to buy the New York paper today, let me borrow yours.” I said no.

No harm done all around.

Godair From page 1 Returning home from Lackland, Godair prepared to tackle the heavy lifting portion of his Eagle project on Aug. 28.

As a dedicated Boy Scout since the age of 7, Godair was looking forward to finishing his Eagle Scout project. The required community service project helps pave the way for teens to become Eagle Scouts. But before the project is completed and before becoming an Eagle, a scout must meet several requirements including record keeping and an appearance before a scouting review board.

Godair ’s Eagle Scout project was ambitious as well as practical: he planned to repair the long-neglected Mendon Trail to its original appearance. The only way to do it was by clearing brush and preparing the trail bed so that local amblers and joggers could enjoy it again. The old trail is easily found now at the Mendon Recreation Field on Notch Road.

“The trail was in pretty bad shape,” said Godair. “In fact, I’d go as far as to say it was nearly abandoned! I felt it was a nice trail that could provide a lot of outdoor exercise opportunities for Mendon residents of all ages.”

Once he focused attention on repairing the path, Godair had to assemble a team of workers.

Using his leadership skills learned through Scouting and CAP, Godair didn’t have much trouble attracting scout and cadet friends to lend their shoulders for some invigorating heavy lifting.

“We cleared brush, cut branches, and pulled rotting logs off the trail,” Godair said. “The overall sprucing up was topped off by my team applying new paint blazes to mark the trail and then a final grooming of the path.”

Godair spent approximately 135 hours planning and executing the quarter-mile-long project. He began by contacting Mendon officials about his ideas and then enlisted 12 Boy Scouts, two CAP cadets with tools, to pitch in.

COSTUMES

T R E AT S

• Keep costumes simple. Long and fancy ones could cause children to trip. Costumes should also be fireproof. Fireproofing Recipe: MIX: 9 oz. boric acid, 4 oz. borax and 1 quart hot water. Saturate fabric and allow to dry. Washing will remove fireproofing, but process may be repeated after washing.

• Costumes should be made of white or light colored material, to be easily seen at night. Reflector patches or strips can also be added to the costume.

• Regular street shoes should be worn as opposed to fancy clown or pirate shoes, etc.

• Props, such as guns or swords, should be made of Styrofoam or cardboard.

• If Jack-o-lanterns are carried, a flashlight should be inside, instead of a candle.

• At least one person in each group should carry a flashlight

• Never eat anything until after you are home, and the treats have been examined.

• Cut and wash fruit before eating.

• Throw away anything unwrapped.

PARTIES

• Older children should attend parties instead of going trick-or-treating • Younger children may enjoy attending a party organized by concerned parents in the area instead of going trick-or-treating.

• Some suggested activities are: Apple Bob, Spook House, Ghostly, Dance, Costume Contest...

PETS

• Chocolate is toxic to dogs & cats. Don’t share your goody bags.

• Keep all pets inside on Cabbage Night & Halloween so they are safe from tricksters & pranks.

• Comfortable costumes are fine as long as your pet doesn’t seem upset. Many cats are not amused by costumes.

• Don’t leave a pet unattended while in costume

• Instead of wearing masks, paint faces with makeup.

• Apply a thin coat of cold cream before applying the makeup (makeup will come off easier.)

Array

gets above four feet, we can get a plow in between the array rows to remove the white stuff.”

The array panels are modular, each panel connects to another with wiring that is akin to a home extension chord.

“At the middle of the array set,” Ploesser said, “the wiring goes underground through a series of underground conduits to the inverter. There are no batteries involved, no electrical storage here.”

To help educate the public about the benefits of solar energy and the Ferrisburgh Solar Farm in particular, Tracey Schoonmaker, Pomerleau development coordinator, is creating an information kiosk at the array site that will explain the marvels of science and engineering behind photovoltaic technology. Schoonmaker said VUHS science students will also be involved with the solar farm project, making it a perfect partnership with an energy learning lab located next door to the high school.

Waxler noted that the solar farm construction work is ahead of schedule thanks to good planning and (mostly) good weather. He hopes the array will start generating electricity by early December.

“Pomerleau is mostly a shopping center developer,” Waxler said, “so this is something new for us but we have the attorneys, engineers and builders to accomplish the job.

We know how to go about the process. That’s why we were the first ones to be able to get the permit in and get it approved.”

Right now, there are a lot of folks banking on alternative energy. While there’s risk in putting your energy eggs in one basket, there’s still a lot of promise.

Perhaps the best endorsement for solar power came from America’s brightest inventor, Thomas Edison—”I’d put my money on the Sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”

From page 1 shoot up to the main line.”

The big array, when completed, will not “blind” automobile drivers descending Woodman Hill as some residents have suggested. Instead, the dark panels are designed to absorb as much sunlight as is technologically possible.

“These panels have under three percent reflectivity,” Ploesser noted, “so there isn’t much sunlight to reflect here.”

The alternative energy engineering firm Alteris of Connecticut provided the technical skill to create a solar array that works in cloudy Vermont.

“We went to the professionals,” said Ploesser. “They have expertise in building solar arrays.”

According to Brian Waxler, executive vice president of Pomerleau, most of the design and construction work is being done by Vermonters.

“The Alteris group we’re working with is out of Montpelier,” Waxler said. “At all times we try to use Vermont people.

We want to keep the money here.”

Solar energy and Vermont isn’t always an intuitive pairing, but Ploesser said there’s plenty of sunlight, even on a cloudy day, to keep the silicon cells generating electricity. Even Vermont’s heavy snowfall shouldn’t prevent the solar farm from “harvesting” the Sun. “There a misconception about photovoltaics,” Waxler noted. “You don’t necessarily need direct sunlight. Germany and Spain are the leaders currently and those nations have less direct sunlight than Vermont. Of course Arizona has a higher efficiency but we can generate a lot of electricity from the Sun here.”

According to Ploesser, even Vermont’s heavy snowfall won’t stop the Ferrisburgh Solar Farm from producing electricity.

“Snow will slide right off the panels,” Ploesser said. “It’s like a metal roof. We even left room for snow to accumulate. If it

From page 1 The dining room area, which will seat up to 120 people at a sitting, is taking shape quickly.

Hurricanes, Cosmos—fit to be tied Get In The Game A View on Sports by Joe Milliken In a tightly contested struggle throughout, the Hartford High School boys' soccer team recently traveled to Springfield to take on the defending Division II state champion Cosmos, coming away with a hardfought, double-overtime tie.

Playing without their arguably their best player in senior-captain Rory Skehan, the Hurricanes had to look for other means of scoring, though goals and even good scoring chances were hard to come by in this match. Both teams struggled early to generate any offense, with most of the play in the middle of the field.

As the first half wore on, however, Hartford managed to get a little offense going as up-andcoming freshman Noah Wilson generated a couple shots on Springfield keeper Jordan Pfenning, who was up to the task. In the final 10 minutes of the half the Cosmos started making some noise of their own, with junior Colin Brady knocking a header just over the crossbar off a corner kick.

Arguably the best scoring opportunity of the half came when Hartford freshman Jed Sass rifled a low shot from 15 feet out with just under three minutes left, forcing Pfenning to dive to his

right to knock the shot away and end a frustrating first half offensively for both teams.

In the second half, both teams came out more aggressive and started connecting on passes better, as Brady got off another early shot for the Cosmos, before the Hurricanes came back with three consecutive corner kicks, but the pressure producing no shots on goal.

However, the Hurricanes finally broke through at the 24-minute mark when Wilson on a beautiful play, dribbled past three defenders along the baseline to the left of the goal, and calmly pushed a shot inside the far post to give Hartford the lead.

To the Cosmos credit they kept working hard and tied the match up with just under six minutes left in regulation, when Brady pounced on a loose ball in front off a corner kick and snuck it under the crossbar to force the extra session.

In overtime, Hartford had a couple quick chances to end it off two corner kicks, but one produced no shot and the other was headed over the crossbar by Wilson. The only Springfield shot of the first OT went well wide of the left post.

In the second overtime Brady almost ended it for the Cosmos as he hustled to catch up to a bouncing ball towards the goal, but Hartford keeper Jon Alvin came out of the net and stuffed

the play before Brady could get a shot off. On another play, Springfield junior Tom Kendall got a shot off from the left of the box, but it sailed over the crossbar.

Both teams had one more chance to bag the winner off corner kicks, but in each case the headers went well wide of the net, ending the match in a 1-1 tie.

"I think both teams have similar styles and skill sets," Springfield coach Paul Kendall said after the match. "It was a defensive struggle most of the way, but I think we played better and better as the match went along and we certainly had a couple chances to end it in overtime.

"Noah Wilson just made a great play to score their goal, but I was happy that we were able to bounce back and get the tie. It is the fifth time this season we have come back to tie or win a match, which shows good determination and heart not to give up."

With the tie, (at press time) Hartford moved to 5-4-2 on t he season while Springfield moved to 7-1-2 on the season, while Hartford moves to 5-42.

Hartford's Colin Drake (no. 23) and Springfield's Michael Pianka go after a loose ball in recent overtime tie between the Hurricanes and the Cosmos.
