State shuts down ‘raw-milk’ class

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com

ANIMAL FRIENDS — Fifth-grade students of Mrs. Alison DaBica’s class at the Addison Central School proudly display a poster capping their fund-raising project for the Addison County Humane Society. The students raised $256 and collected food, toys and other supplies for the Middlebury shelter. Leaders of the project (pictured) are Erin Lawrence, Olivia Kayhart, Ashley Towle, and C.C. Chamberlin. ACHS’s Michelle Conant said she hopes other schools will meet Addison's generous challenge.

A warning by the Vermont Agency of Agriculture has forced the temporary suspension of Rural Vermont’s series of Raw Dairy Processing classes. The agency’s warning included the threat of legal action against Rural Vermont and participating farmers, according to the farm advocacy group.

According to Jared Carter of Rural Vermont, the non-profit organization has been holding classes since Act 62—the socalled Raw Milk Bill—was enacted by the Vermont House in 2009.

“Not wanting to place farmers at risk, Rural Vermont has put the classes on hold while pursuing discussions with the Agency of Agriculture,” Carter wrote in a news release dated Feb. 17.

Rural Vermont said the suspension of its raw-milk classes came as a result of obtaining a “notice of warning” from the Agency of Agriculture.

The state alleges that by teaching consumers how to make butter, yogurt, cheese, and other products at home, Rural Vermont and the farmer hosts are in violation of Vermont law which regulates the safe production of dairy products under controlled conditions.

“The warning centers around the agency’s interpretation of the 2009 Raw Milk Law, in which they claim that it is illegal for farmers to knowingly sell raw milk to customers who plan to do anything with their milk besides drink it,” Carter wrote.

From Staff & College News Reports The fourth-ranked Middlebury College men’s basketball team improved to 22-1 overall with a 74-30 win over Green Mountain College (0-19) in Pepin Gym last week.

Middlebury’s Coach Jeff Brown records his 200th victory at Middlebury, owning a career record of 200-149 in 14 seasons, and a 90-17 mark over the past four yearss. He has more wins at Middlebury than any other coach in the 94-year history of the men’s basketball program.

With Middlebury resting all of its starters, the Panthers Coach Jeff Brown jumped out to a 20-5 lead on 8 of 10 shooting from the floor.

An official of VTrans, the Vermont Agency of Transportation, has announced the closure of the second bridge on Vermont Route 74 spanning the Lemon Fair River between Shoreham and Cornwall.

According to Scott Rogers of VTrans, “A hole in the bridge deck was discovered by district maintenance forces Feb. 14, at which time the bridge was closed to one lane for the safety of the traveling public.”

Rogers noted that subsequent inspections last week revealed additional concerns with the concrete decks. For safety reasons, VTrans moved to close the span completely.

Starting last week, all traffic across the bridge was being detoured.

With more bridge inspections pending, it’s unclear how long the bridge will remain closed.

During the period of inspection and repair, Route 74 will remain closed to through traffic from its intersection with Quiet Valley Road in Shoreham, to its intersection with North and South Bingham Street in Cornwall.

Rogers said only local traffic will be permitted access into the closure area.

Shumlin’s health plan under fire

National FFA Week 2011

FFA a tradition in Addsion County This year, National FFA Week runs Feb. 19-26. The FFA or Future Farmers of America tradition in Vermont goes back to the mid 1900s. It remains a strong force in both local agriculture and career-oriented education. FFA is in sharp focus year-round at the Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury as it is elsewhere. Students receive training in farm management, husbandry, crops— even maple sugaring is part of the academic mix.

FFA Week gives members here in Addison County a chance to educate the public about agriculture.

During the week, local chapters will host teacherappreciation breakfasts, conduct Ag Olympics competitions, speak to the public about agriculture, volunteer for community service projects and more.

The week of George Washington’s birthday was designated as National FFA Week in 1947 at a National FFA Board of Directors meeting.

In the age of social networking FFA visibility is everywhere. Locally, Hannaford FFA members share their activity ideas and stories by posting videos, pictures and comments on Facebook, Twitter, FFA Nation, SchoolTube.com.

“In order to feed a growing population our organization must do more,” said

The week of George Washington's birthday was designated by the organization as National FFA Week in 1947.

“George Washington made a lot of contributions to agriculture and the development of the United States,” according to Landan Schaffert. “He had a very diligent work ethic, an honest character and also was very good at record keeping. Those are all things that we hope for our members to accomplish in

FFA.” During the week, local officers will meet with state legislators and leaders of Vermont’s agriculture industry. Individual chapters initiate events throughout the week to promote FFA and agriculture in classrooms and communities countywide. Events include community service projects, educational lessons for elementary students and promotional programs for students, teachers, and alumni.

National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company and Carhartt as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Emergency! Gov. Peter Shumlin’s (D) single-payer health-care plans may need to be rushed to the E.R.—stat. Vermont’s largest employers are displeased with the governor ’s plans and they’re turning their thumbs down on the Euro-style, socialist approach to health care here in the Green Mountain State.

Shumlin wants companies to be forced, by law, to be a part of a costly single-payer system plan.

Most notably, officials of the state’s larger businesses—Home Depot, IBM, and Walmart—are on record claiming that forcing currently self-insured companies into a taxpayer financed health-care system is a bad idea—a bad idea.

“If states do their own programs, it will create inequity among employers and add significant new costs,” said John O’Kane, an IBM official.

Currently, IBM is exempted from from state insurance regulations under the U.S. Employment Retirement Income Security Act because it is a self-insured company.

O’Kane also said, “ERISA must be main-

Not wanting to put our farmer members at risk, Rural Vermont has temporarily suspended the classes until we have solid understanding of the agency’s official policy,” he added.

In the news release, Carter wrote that “the Agency of Agriculture should be en-

tained so employers like IBM can deliver value while keeping costs down. Any reform path must support the ERISA framework, which is essential for multi-state employers.”

Harvard economist Dr. William Hsiao, who supports U.K.- and Canadian-style approaches to health care, such as the byzantine, constitutionally challenged Obama Care national program, recommended that Vermont enforce a broad-based payroll tax.

This would provide funding for a state universal benefits package without forcing ERISA companies to participate in the system.

O’Kane said Hsiao’s plan was simply unacceptable.

Vermont Retail Association Executive Director Tasha Wallis said, “Dr. Hsiao’s report envisions a system where all employers participate in a single payer system by paying a payroll tax to support such a system. The Vermont Retail Association wants to be clear that it does not support assessing a payroll tax on self-funded multi-state employers.”

gaging farmers in ways to expand markets. In the past month, Rural Vermont testified to the legislature’s Committees on Agriculture that in 2010 raw milk generated approximately $1 million in revenues directly to Vermont farmers.

“Farmers are already faced with enormous pressures from the commodity milk market that the Agency should be looking on ways to expand on-farm sales,” Carter wrote. “A ‘renaissance’ in agriculture does not start with a ‘prohibition’ in agriculture. Vermont should focus on achievable steps to meet the demand for

The Rural Vermont news releases ended with what sounded like a hint of further public and legislative action on behalf of organization’s the raw-milk philosophy and instruction.

“Rural Vermont stands ready to open a new chapter in the history of farming in this state,” he wrote.

“Whether doing so requires protesting in the streets, advocating in the halls of the legislature or litigating in the courts, we are prepared to work tirelessly for economic justice, a strong local agricultural system and vibrant communities in Vermont.”

newmarketpress@denpubs.com In recent decades, northern New England states—Vermont and New Hampshire in particular—have become new havens for talented transplants fed up with either urban crime, suburban sprawl, or the general angst of residing in all those crowded places down country.

Well, their loss is our gain. Each week, newspapers like this one discover fresh, veteran talent lurking between barn, mountain and meadow.

That’s why classical-jazz pianist and singer Jayne Kelly, formerly of Long Island, N.Y., is such a delight to have right here in northern New England.

According to Kelly, she began studying piano at the age of eight with Sonia Stein, the respected Russian pianist.

After Stein passed away, the young Kelly pursued her studies with Walt Multer. Completing high school, Kelly attended Crane School of Music where she continued tinkling the ivories under the gaze of master Frank Iogha. She graduated with a B.A. degree in music.

Kelly eventually found her muse was best tapped in the foothills of New Hampshire. And she frequented both sides of the Connecticut River to pursue her art and audience. She even met Lithuanian pianist Yura Chute and continued honing her art with his assistance.

In the intervening years, Kelly became an accomplished performing, recording artist, and music instructor.

She remains accessible to audiences and feels at home in the Connecticut River Valley.

Kelly’s recent album, “Virtually Live,” is a wonderful surprise and demonstrates this artist’s amazing talents.

It features compositions from classical and contemporary composers. A unique composition by local composer Marilyn Ziffrin is noted. In fact, Ziffrin was so impressed she later wrote a piano piece just for Kelly. She performed it live in 2006.

While this reviewer loves classical, his personal favorite is what is now popularly called the “Great American Songbook.” Here Kelly shines just as brightly as she does in the formal fields of classical. Jazz is somewhat new for Kelly but she has an inborn knack for the genre. She sings it with genuine passion and verve.

Kelly proves she’s a pro—when you can seemlessly blend contemporary jazz and all things Rogers and Hart, you are a master. Her voice is often described as “enchanting, nuanced, and gracefully penetrating.” The writer concurs; those words describe the artist to perfection.

If you’re lucky to see Kelly in concert here in Vermont or travel across the river, pay close attention to Songbook tunes such as “Lazy Afternoon,” “My Funny Valentine,” “The Days of Wine

and Roses,” and “I’ll Be Seeing You,” among others. These are among the best renditions heard although the reviewer still have a fondness for the Sammy Davis Jr. version of “... Funny Valentine.” And in the classical vein, Kelly has mastered the classical masters: Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Debussy, Mozart, Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Prokovieff.

It is clear that Jayne Kelly’s talents are winning her a growing following of New England fans.

Longshot to Alpha Centauri W

hen NASA’s 2006-launched Far Horizons spacecraft reaches the distant planet Pluto in 2015, all the major world of the classical solar åsystem will have been explored by robot probes.

Beyond Pluto and the Kuiper Belt is an immense gulf— 4.24 light years in distance—to the nearest star.

While the notion of sending an automated spacecraft to Alpha Centauri C, the Sun’s nearest stellar object, seems like science fiction today, a serious, successful study about such a space probe was completed 23 years ago this week.

With the exception of a fully operational thermonuclear fusion power source, there’s no reason why NASA (or an international space consortium) couldn’t send a sophisticated probe to the Alpha Centauri star system—within the next 10 to 25 years.

Known as Project Longshot, the first practical interstellar mission study was spearheaded by an unlikely duo, NASA and the U.S. Naval Academy between 1987 and 1988.

Longshot didn’t receive much media attention back then, but it now stands as a seminal, conceptual interstellar mission effort.

Designed to be constructed in Earth orbit at a space station, Longshot uses both 1980s-era technology and futuristic fusion power technology. But just like the 1980s, the development of sustained inertial confinement fusion (or ICF) remains just beyond the reach of engineers in the 2010s. However, there have been significant advances in ICF experiments in recent years; it remains the most likely power source to get to the stars during the 21st century.

The Longshot interstellar mission was conceived as an unmanned probe that would fly, one way, to the Alpha Centauri system. Its speedy star trek would get a nice kick courtesy of a nuclear ICF pulse engine.

Compared to today’s ponderous gravity assisted space probes, Longshot’s 100-year-long trip to Alpha Centauri— at 4.5 percent the speed of light—would be like comparing its Roadrunner status to the 1970s NASA Voyagers’ Wily Coyote.

SaTURDaY February 26, 2011 The heart of Longshot’s quickened space pace is a nuclear fission power reactor that would generate 300 kw of juice.

The reactor would power a 250 kw laser for communicating with home; the remaining juice would then fire a battery of lasers in the engine that would—in turn—ignite inertial confinement fusion.

Onboard lasers would target frozen hybrid helium3/deuterium pellet fuels to create a sustained pulse of thermonuclear micro explosions. But Longshot would need to hold 264 tons of the pellet propellant for the long, lonely interstellar voyage.

Longshot’s mission payload would mass around 30 tons which leaves enough room for nifty navigation, communications and science instrumentation.

For most of its long commuting phase, Longshot would operate on low power while sending a data stream about the interstellar medium back to Earth.

During the century that will pass before Longshot reaches the nearest star, several generations of mission team members will come and go. Perhaps entire families of technical specialists—from grandfathers to their great granddaughters—will be involved with the Longshot mission effort on Earth. They will live and die before the spacecraft ever reaches its distant goal.

Longshot is truly a long-term commitment. Unfortunately, thanks to the vagaries of U.S. politics, long-term commitment and space projects never seem to mix well. But there’s always hope that an international effort would be better insulated.

According to Longshot’s team of creators, K.A. Beals, M. Beaulieu, and others, the journey to Alpha Centauri would take about 100 years at an velocity of 13,411 km/s. It would take four years for telemetry to reach Earth.

Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., is a former science writer at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif. He is a current NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador program member and received the U.S. Civil Air Patrol’s Gen. Charles “Chuck” Yeager Aerospace Education Achievement Award in 2009.

Here’s to a better, Yoga, Jerry’s kids and Fords brighter idea A mong the more absurd actions of the two-term Bush administration—and the Congress of the time—was the ban on the Edison light bulb in 2007.

This ill-advised ban takes affect next year. Environmentalists turned the good old-fashioned incandescent light bulb into a “green” boogie man. The anti-Edison bulb folks were thrilled to see the artificially supported rise of the odious and toxic compact fluorescent light (or CFL) and the Big Brother government-enforced fall of the Edison bulb.

As I see it, the ban on Edison incandescent bulbs was a small part of all the foolish anti-energy legislation passed by the Democratic-controlled Congress (and signed into law by Republican President George W. Bush) back in 2007.

The chief sponsors of the bulb ban were Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) and Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.). The porcelain busts of both legislators deserve their special alcoves in our everexpanding National Shrine of Dumb Ideas.

Since the day President Bush signed the Harmon-Upton ban into law, I became an Edison bulb hoarder. Yup, I make no apologies about this fact. I like incandescent light sources and will continue to use the devices. My eyesight is precious and I have no intention of ruining it under harsh fluorescent lighting.

My survival plan is to add to my growing stockpile of Edison bulbs that will see me through and light the way for years to come—long after the phased-in ban. It is my way to defy an arrogant, know-it-all federal government. And that’s why I wholeheartedly support the efforts of Freedom Action.

My sister-in-law, a resident of California, reports that Edison bulbs are already banned in the formerly Golden State; residents are under penalty of law if they sneak bulbs across the stateline. Now that’s creepy stuff!

Last month, the non-partisan Freedom Action citizens group launched a national grassroots campaign to repeal the ban on incandescent light bulbs scheduled to begin on Jan. 1, 2012.

Supporters of repealing the ban are invited to sign a petition to Congress at FreeOurLight.org. I proudly signed the petition. That’s why I encourage interested readers to go to the website and do the same.

According to Myron Ebell of Freedom Action, “Rep. Upton, now chairman of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, has said that his committee will hold a hearing on the ban, but he has not promised to repeal it, as was erroneously reported in the press in December. The 2007 law makes the sale of standard incandescent 100-watt bulbs illegal, 75-watt bulbs as of Jan. 1, 2013, and 60- and 40-watt bulbs as of Jan. 1, 2014. The light bulb ban is an outrageous government limitation on consumer choices and intrusion into the home of every American.” Right on!

Ebell noted that one bill to repeal the ban has already been introduced in the House, H. R. 91, by Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.) and others. Other U.S. Senate and House bills are expected to be introduced this session by U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi (RWyoming) and Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas).

It’s nice to know there are adults back in charge of the U.S. Congress.

Louis Varricchio

I did yoga today. I’ve done it before, say, seven or eight times. I like it fine enough. I think it’s very good for you. I last did it a long while ago, I’ll guess ten years or so.

From those long ago lessons I learned a lot and include some pieces of what I learned in my daily exercise, and I’d even say, every day life. So, yeah, yoga works for me, anyway. I’d recommend it for anyone. Why? Here’s one reason.

At the end today the instructor instructed us instructees to lay flat, and relax.

Relax everything. I tried, and to a great degree succeeded, because during the final minute of rest before the end of class, I felt and smelt spring in the air. True. Do yoga is my two cents. No matter who you are.

Today’s yoga also acted as a gauge for me to the affirmative that consistent disciplined work I put in to eating healthfully (not too much is also key) and exercising every damn day, has helped elevate my fitness. I was able to do the class without struggling. I literally felt fitness and broccoli working within my muscles and cells. That might not seem like a big deal, but, well, I’d say, at least it reminded me once again booze, chips, and drugs suck. Don’t do them.

Period. I mean, period.

Run, don’t run to the pill aisle, run to yoga. This, from a non-yoga devotee. I’m not sure when I’ll do it again.

My tad bit older buddies mentioned I’d too need reading glasses near, at, or just past age 50. I didn’t doubt them, even if at age 49 and younger I couldn’t see fuzzy if I tried. I’d test my eyes, seeing how soon I’d see a road sign, and it always turned out I could see the sign soon, miles away. I had a full-out eye exam at forty-eight that saw my eyes score better than twenty-twenty. The eye guy said so. He also said in a year, if not shortly beyond, I’d probably need seeing assistance to read. You know, my buddies and the doc, they were all right. And not just right, they were perfectly right, like right on, like, half a year before age 50 I started noticing my eyes lagging in a few ranges when it came to re-adjusting from viewing close-up small details to far-away grand scale scenes. I’ll be dang. On the money, like clock work, the ole peepers are starting to give. A sure reminder that, along with all the living I’m doing, I’m slowly, steadily, dying.

Had my truck detailed at Heritage Ford. There’s a guy been detailing down there for 30 years. Son of a cuss. There’s an entire column right there I’ll have to roll out some day.

Anyway, when they wash the carpet, shampoo is the proper term; they lift the floor mats off and stack them on the back seat so the carpet will dry faster. When I got home I took the back seat floor mats out and set them in the bed of my truck and left the tailgate open. I don’t know why really, I think I remember I didn’t want the mats laying on my seats over night. I’m particular about the interior of my rigs. The next time I drove I forgot the mats were in the bed and they went swirling out, off and into who knows what, at who knows what mile marker of which highway. I loved those mats.

They were strong rugged sexy sons a bitches. So I went today and ordered some new ones.

All this to say—I like penny gum machines. They’re quarter gum machines these days, but the price matters not, what matters is that the procedure you work to get the gum, is the same as when I was a kid; drop the coin in the slot, slide the

lever to the right, wait for the gum to trickle out of the shoot and into your cupped palm.

That little action there is what keeps me coming back for more gum machine gum.

That, and I like gum.

Well the car joint has a gum machine, and after ordering my mats on my way toward the door to leave, I took a detour and walked around a stack of four tires to the gum machine, dropped a coin in the slot, passed the level over and fro, and happily received the seven or eight pieces of gum into the palm of my right hand.

As I turned to leave, I noticed on the front of the machine a photo of Jerry Lewis advertising his Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. I said to anyone near enough to hear, “He’s still doing that? Damn them kids must be old.”

Black Swan in Potemkin Village

I

confess—accusations that your humble scribe has a simplistic view of things have some basis in truth. For example, public education class size is important because: 1. Education is typically the most expensive line item in State and local budgets; 2. Staffing is the single most expensive line item in public education budgets; 3. Direct instruction (teachers in classrooms) is the single most expensive line item within the staffing budget; and 4. Class size is the single most important determinant of teacher employment, because scope of curriculum, the other possible determinant, is pretty much fixed across all schools in a system as a result of state curriculum rules.

That logical sequence is pretty simplistic. From it, I’d conclude that State class size rules and/or local district class size policies are pretty important: typically, they set the instructional-cost 60% of the annual budget (perpupil expenditure) paid for through taxes.

Generation next: passing on the family business From Staff Reports newmarketpress@denpubs.com Growth is on the horizon as Gordon’s Window Décor, a local family business that has been manufacturing custom window treatments in Essex Junction for 25 years. The firm’s ownership is making the transition to the next generation.

The company serves many customers in Addison and Rutland counties.

“I think our growth is due to the fact that we manufacture insulating window shades that save energy—a vital component in our country’s efforts to cut our dependence on fossil fuels,” said Gordon Clements, owner of Gordon’s Window Décor.

With distribution established in Ireland, as well as across the U.S., similar interest from Russia and recent sales in Japan, Gordon’s has been hiring and just bought a larger factory and showroom in Williston. The firm will be moving at the end of March. That is a lot of change for any company, especially combined with serious succession planning.

“It is all really exciting,” said Kelly Conklin, Clements’ daughter and successor. “Buying the new building was a huge step, but we are bursting at the seams in our current building and with our growth we need more space. The succession planning is equally as exciting. We’ve been working with the Vermont Family Business Initiative to help with the planning.”

Transitioning a business from the first generation to the second generation is no easy feat. But Clements and Conklin have been working to avoid common pitfalls of succession; with resources like the Vermont Family Business Initiative it looks like Gordon’s Window Décor will be going strong for another 25 years.

“My first child, Silas, was born in August . If all goes well I hope that he’ll be the third generation to run Gordon’s,” said Conklin.

Births A girl born Jan. 24, Dorothy Renee Pelkey, to Aaron and Paula (Spaulding) Pelkey of Crown Point, N.Y. A girl born Feb. 1, Edie Ella Grossarth, to Mark and Kathryn (Byrne) Grossarth of Castleton.

Addison County featured on Boston T.V. program During the first week of February a producer and cameraperson from the “Chronicle” show visited Addison County.

“Chronicle” is produced by the Boston ABC-TV affiliate, and its long-running “Main Streets and Back Roads” series.

The series looks at life in rural and urban New England.

The show aired last week and will appear twice in March.

You can view all the “Chronicle” segments shot locally online at www.thebostonchannel.com.

The program features several local personalities and tourist destinations.

Church members travel to New Orleans

North Ferrisburgh chuch mmebers bound for the Gulf Coast: Brian LaClair, Ted Marcy, Megan Cousion, Pastor Kim Hornung-Marcy, Amanda Cousino, Amber Emmell and Jack DeVos. Back: MIcah Lemmel-Hay, George Lucia, Tony Lamb, Peter Curler, Ken Curler and Diane Cousino. Not pictured are Chase Atkins, Katie Curler and Clare Conner.

The North Ferrisburgh United Methodist church is taking 15 teens and adults on a Mission trip to continue the rebuilding efforts in Mississippi.

The group will fly into New Orleans, La., to see the damage from Hurricane Katrina that is still evident. Then the group will drive to Gulfport, Miss., to stay at the United Methodist Camp Love. There the group join 15 more Vermonters for several rebuilding projects in the area.

Camp Love is one of three United Methodist camps built after hurricane Katrina to house rebuilding volunteers. This camp has sponsored groups weekly since it was built shortly after the storm in 2005.

Thousands of volunteers from all over America cleaned up and rebuilt the area since Katrina hit on Aug. 29, 2005. The mayor of New Orleans, the president, as well as other city and national officials, were blamed for the chaos in responding to the disaster.

Since the storm over 160,000 volunteers have worked on over 12,000 homes and built over 100 new homes, saving over $100 million in labor cost to struggling Mississippi Gulf Coast homeowners through the efforts of the United Methodist church in the area. North Ferrisburgh United Methodist has been sending teams for three years now.

Vermont hard cider uses maple syrup In Vermont many folks say there are five seasons — spring, summer, fall, winter and maple sugaring season — when temperatures still freeze at night, but the lengthening days are warm and sunny.

Springtime in Vermont is when the maple trees are tapped and the woods are filled with the sound of sap dripping into metal buckets.

Farmers and hobbyists alike spend countless hours crafting Mother Nature’s sweetest gift into liquid gold.

At the Woodchuck Cidery located in the western valleys of Vermont, the newest Limited Release Cider is being handcrafted.

Woodchuck Hard Cider ’s president and CEO, Bret Williams, said, “Our 2011 Spring Cider is balanced with the

flavors and aroma of fresh maple syrup and brown sugar — a little piece of Vermont tradition captured in every bottle.”

Woodchuck Spring Cider Limited Release shipped mid-January and can be found on shelves across the county throughout February and March. The cider ’s alcohol content is low—5 percent per volume.

FARMING ROUNDTABLE — Addison County farmers were invited to a special day at Bourdeau Brothers of Middlebury. The agribusiness held a special customer appreciation week featuring new products, seeds, and equipment. Local farmers also learned about new management tips to maximize resources during tough times. Bourdeau’s customer days event is the largest farm-related activity in Addison County before Fair and Field Days in August.

Shumlin: more spending, budget adjustment Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin wants to add another $6 million to Vermont’s budget for 2011. On the other hand, Shumlin offered a few reductions. The new bill adds $700,000 for people with traumatic brain injuries, $500,000 for homelessness, $300,000 for shelters, and $280,000 for the elderly, blind and disabled.

Health plan From page 2 Care went on the defensive last week. He said, “How many people are covered, what are the benefits they can access and what are the costs of those benefits?” How are self-insured plans factored in? We do however have the authority to tax.”

Vermont would be unable to establish a single-payer system until 2014 since there is no funding for it currently.

Ergo, I conclude that government decisions to control class size are deserving of media coverage.

Historically, the print and electronic media have done a quite creditable job of reporting on the systematic reduce-class size-to-increase student achievement policy, in effect for K-12 class size over the post-World War II decades, from 27 in 1955 to 15 today.

Even your humble scribe can simplistically conclude that it has been the official classsize reduction policy which has been the single largest driver of annual perpupil spending increases, from less than $2,000 (in current, not nominal, dollars) then to over $8,000 today.

Some states –Vermont, for example—reduced class size even more (down to 10.4 in 2008) and raised annual perpupil costs even more (up to $15316 in 2009) thereby causing (simplistic conclusion) increased levels of taxpayer displeasure, probably because (simplistic conclusion) the reductions in class size which were promised to produce increases in student achievement haven’t done so.

From the first federal achievement tests in 1970 to the present, student achievement charts have shown as level lines, with scores consistently in the low 200s out of a possible 500, against upward spending lines and downward class size lines. But now, as

The eAgle - 7

proof of the (simplistic) survivalist-politician-fear-ofvoter-displeasure theory, a few states have begun sneaking minimum-classsize policies into their rulebooks. So far, my amateurish research has found three: Tennessee, Missouri, and— surprise!—Vermont.

In earlier columns, I’ve reported on the Tennessee minimum class size policy–K-3, 20; 4-6, 25; 7-12, 30.

You can judge its seriousness from the actual class size (shown as p/t ratio, which is close) in Tennessee: 14.3-to-1 in 2008.

In Missouri, the “guideline” calls for K-2, 25; 3-4, 27; 5-6, 30, and 7-12, 33. You can judge its seriousness from the actual class size (shown as p/t ratio, which is close) in Missouri: 13-to-1 in 2008.

Now, it turns out, Vermont’s own state department of education actually adopted—on Sept. 8, 2010— a minimum class-size policy guideline.

It calls for no fewer than 15 students in all grades and grade-clusters from K to 8, and numbers ranging from 15 to 20 in various 9-12 curriculum areas. Were it (subjunctive contrary to fact) serious, it would cause a near 1/3 decrease in the directinstruction component (60 percent) of the total school budget. Gloriosky, Zero; Who nnew? Maybe I missed

the SED precedent-shattering policy-changing press release, or the subsequent breathless in-depth, deeplyanalytical reportage-withenlightened-commentary in the several VT papers I read.

As an amateur and not a full-time, highly skilledprofessional Fourth Estater (and fearful of peer disapproval), I choose not to opinionate on the decisions of various Vermont media managers and editors not to report on that rare-and-unexpected statistically improbable “black swan” event in Vermont education: the official adoption of a state department of education minimum-class-size policy-guideline.

Instead, I’ll raise this question: why have all three states (and maybe more I haven’t even found yet) adopted these new rules even while showing no past history, present inclination, or future intent to act seriously on them? The Tennessee policy, for example, goes back at least three years, possibly further.

Maybe it’s the Potemkin Village syndrome at work.

Here’s the Merriam-Webster definition: “an impressive façade or show designed to hide an undesirable fact or condition.” It comes from the Russian legend of the Prime Minister Potemkin, anxious to avoid

the displeasure of Czarina Catherine, building falsefront village facades—Potyomkinskiye derevnii— throughout Crimea, so that the empress would be suitably impressed with his effectiveness during her visit.

If you’re not into Romanov dynasty politics, you might prefer the New York City 1982 example of Mayor Ed Koch ordering up the same sort of thing—using painted plywood in the burnt-out building windows of the South Bronx tenements, or the same sort of thing for the same sorts of reasons in Cleveland today, according to a Wikipedia entry on the subject.

You can see its applicability to the fiscal side of the productivity collapse in contemporary public education: a system which praises students, not for actual achievement but for “trying really, really, hard” can point to these policies and guidelines and (perhaps credibly) attempt to neutralize criticism by claiming: “Yes, we hear you, and we’re incredibly responsive, and we’re trying really, really, hard, but these things take time!”

Historical question: which Potemkin Village plywood-and-paint jobs were ever intended to become—in the fullness of time—real construction? Ya ne snaiou.

Local animal hospital gets reaccredited

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com While it may not garner the attention received by hospitals like Porter or Fletcher-Allen, Middlebury Animal Hospital is in the business of healing, too. In this case, the Addison County animal hospital has a long tradition of treating and caring for all varieties of pets, from restless four legs to feathered wings.

The animal hospital has again received its coveted accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association. The hospital received a comprehensive inspection by an AAHA evaluation team—the team visited the hospital’s facility recently to inspect medical equipment and practice methods, as well as observe pet health care management means.

According to AAHA President Gregg Takashima, DVM, only 15 percent of small veterinary practices have achieved accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association. So, the distinction for the Middlebury Animal Hospital is worthy of mention; it carries with it the imprimator of the national hospital association.

Established in 1933, the American Animal Hospital Association is the sole professional body that accredits veterinary practices in both the U.S. and Canada.

Accredited status is not a one time thing. Middlebury Animal Hospital is evaluated on a regular basis by the AAHA. “Middlebury Animal Hospital belongs to a select group of practices that are committed to meeting the standard of veterinary excellence,” said Takashima.

“AAHA hospitals pass a stringent evaluation of over 900 standards covering patient care, client service and medical protocols. By attaining accreditation, Middlebury Animal Hospital is demonstrating its dedication to offering the best care to its patients and clients.”

Middlebury Animal Hospital is located at 139 Washington St. Extension and has been an accredited practice member of the association since 1974.

The spirit of community On Feb. 6, dozens of volunteers helped members of the Londonderry Volunteer Rescue Squad (LVRS) to stuff, label and seal more than 7,000 letters that will be sent to residents and property owners as part of the squad’s annual fundraising efforts.

LVRS is always grateful for the support we receive

from our community, but we’d like to offer special thanks to several individuals this year.

First, we want to thank Bob and Lisa Brandmeyer of the Brandmeyers Mountainside Lodge in Weston for providing a delicious catered lunch for our volunteers.

The Brandmeyers have done this for the past several years, without charge to the squad, and we are thankful for their continued support.

Special thanks must also be given to all of our helpers this year. LVRS was called to

duty and dozens of our squad members left in the middle of the event to assist with the tragic barn collapse at the Taylor Farm in Londonderry.

The letter-stuffing volunteers kept the momentum and carried on to finish the project.

Lauren Greer scored a pair of goals as the Middlebury College women's ice hockey team rallied from a two-goal deficit to clinch the top seed for the 2011 NESCAC Tournament with a 4-2 win at Bowdoin on Saturday afternoon. The Panthers finish the regular season at 18-4-1 overall (14-1-1 NESCAC) while Bowdoin falls to 14-82 (9-6-1). Middlebury will host eighth-seeded Williams at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 26 in the quarterfinals with the right to host the championship if they advance.

In addition to Greer ’s two goals, Jennifer Krakower and Nora Bergman each contributed a goal for the Panthers. Kayte Holtz had a goal and an assist to lead the Polar Bears.

Holtz got Bowdoin on the board first with a shorthanded tally early in the opening period. The sophomore skated into the offensive zone and ripped a perfect shot from the top of the left circle, beating Alexi Bloom high to the glove side at 1:29. The Polar Bears doubled their lead when Jill Campbell received a nice centering pass from Holtz and beat Bloom with a backhand shot to increase Bowdoin’s lead to 2-0 at 18:21.

In the second period, Middlebury capitalized on a Bowdoin turnover deep in the zone and Greer ’s shot beat Connolly glove side at 4:29. Middlebury tied the game on the power-play when Jennifer Krakower blasted a slap shot from the right point at 17:23, sending the contest into the third period deadlocked at two.

Middlebury took the lead with 11:06 left in the third as

Nora Bergman picked up a loose rebound in front and roofed the puck past Connolly. Middlebury sealed the win at 14:48 as Lauren Greer finished off a loose puck in front. Tara Connolly had a strong game between the pipes, making 32 saves for the Polar Bears. Alexi Bloom had 18 saves for the Pan-

Norwich hosts track championships

Coach Brown From page 1 of them coming from behind the arc for 11 points early on. The lead grew to as many as 17 three times, before Green Mountain went on a 6-0 spurt behind a three from Kenneth Williams and a three-point play from Peiton Woodall to make it a 29-18 game with 5:32 remaining.

The Eagles came within nine before Middlebury closed the half on a 6-0 run to take a 39-24 lead into the intermission.

Middlebury held Green Mountain to just 2 of 22 (.091) shooting from the floor in the second half, cruising to the 74-30 victory. The Panthers shot .509 from the floor as all 10 players who saw action in the game entered the scoring column.

Peter Lynch led the Panthers with a career-high 16 points on 7 of 8 shooting from the floor, grabbing four boards with three assists. Hicks finished with a careerbest 13 points, while Albert Nascimento also recorded a career-high with 10 points. Jack Roberts earned a personal-best eight points and eight rebounds, to go along with three blocked shots. James Jensen finished with a career-high eight points, also earning a season-best eight boards. Williams led Green Mountain with 13 points.

Jeff Brown: Super Coach Panther Head Coach Jeff Brown is in his 14th season with the men's basketball program at Middlebury College. Previously he served in the same position at Bates College for three seasons.

In 2008-09, Brown led the team to 24 wins en route to its first NESCAC Championship. The Panthers also made their second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. Brown was named the NESCAC and the NABC District Coach of the Year.

Last season, the Panthers set a school record with 25 wins, advancing to the NESCAC title game. Middlebury also made its third straight NCAA Tournament appearance, earning a first-round victory.

A 1982 graduate of the University of Vermont, Brown scored more than 1,000 points and earned induction into the university's Athletic Hall of Fame during his Catamount basketball career. He is 10th on the all-time scoring list (1,336 points), second in steals (170), seventh in assists (428), eighth in field goals made (526), and ninth in free throws made (284). While playing at UVM, Brown averaged 12.7 points and 4.1 assists per game. As a junior he was an All-New England Honorable Mention selection, and he was elected co-captain as a senior.

After graduation, Brown spent three years (1982-85) as the top assistant basketball coach at Manhattan College in New York, where he built his reputation as a first-rate recruiter and strategist. Three students he recruited for Manhattan were named Metro Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year.

Brown then returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach for nine years (1985-94). At Vermont, his responsibilities included advance scouting, player development, on-the-floor coaching, and game-day preparations. Brown took over the reins of the Bates College program in 1994 as the Bobcats' head coach.

He is a recent inductee into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame as well as the Rockland County (N.Y.) Hall of Fame.

ROLL OFF CONTAINER SERVICE

By Joe Milliken newmarketpress@denpubs.com The Vermont High School Indoor Track and Field Championships were recently held at Norwich University’s Shapiro Field House with South Burlington as the biggest winners of the day, taking the overall girls' and boys' team titles on the strength of outstanding performance from Mollie Gribbin, Carly Stine, Sara Garvey and Christa Weaver.

Stine finished first in the 55-meter hurdles, third in the long jump, second in the high jump and third in the 300-meter dash. Garvey took second in the 55, fourth in the 300 and sixth in the long jump, while Weaver finished first in the high jump and third in the 1,000-meter run.

Another big victory was the performance of Springfield High School senior high-jumper Michael Pianka, who the night before played for his high schools' basketball team (a five-overtime game), before participating in the state track event. Pianka won the state high jump crown with a leap of 6-feet, 4-inches. He would then push the bar to a state record height of 6-feet, 6.25-inches, but couldn't quite pull it off, perhaps being hindered by the marathon hoop contest the night before.

One athlete who did break a state record — her own — was South Burlington's Mollie Gribbin, who earned the state title in the 55-meter dash by breaking her own state record.

However, she was not done there, also winning state titles in the 300-meter dash, the 600-meter run and the long jump.

Gribbin's dominance led the Rebels to the overall girls' team title.

The South Burlington boys’ squad also took the team championship (115 points) led by Malcolm Plunkett, who won state individual titles in both the 1,600 and 3,200-meter events. South Burlington's Kyle Chu also took first in the 55meter dash and took third in the 55-meter hurdles. Windsor ’s Matt Rufus, another two-sport stand out who also ex-

From Middlebury College News Reports Middlebury advanced to the NESCAC Semifinals for the fourth consecutive year after a 61-41 quarterfinal victory over Connecticut College last Saturday at Pepin Gym. The Panthers advance to next weekend’s semifinals at Williams College where they will meet Amherst at 4 p.m. The host school will face Trinity at 2 p.m., with the championship slated for noon on Sunday.

Middlebury held the Camels to .222 shooting from the floor (12-54) and 218 from the three point line. The Panthers received solid bench scoring from Joey Kizel and James Jensen, as the duo combined for 20 points on 8-12 shooting. Connnecticut held a small rebounding advantage (40-39), but grabbed 14 offensive boards to the Panthers seven.

With Middlebury’s stalwart center Andrew Locke not in the lineup, the Camels attacked the hoop in the early

going. Connecticut had a couple second-chance opportunities on their first possession, eventually grabbing a 4-1 lead on a pair of lay-ups, including one from Taylor Hanson at 17:50. That would be the only lead for the Camels as the Panthers went on a 7-0 spurt over the next 90 seconds, capped by a three

by Nolan Thompson at 16:20.

A pair of free throws from Connecticut’s Brian Mahoney shaved the deficit to 10-9 before Middlebury jumped ahead with a 9-0 run on 3-3 shooting from behind the arc. Joey Kizel’s pair of threes bookended Jake Wolfin’s triple for a 19-9 lead with 12:14 left in the half.

Manson Lopez connected on a three for the Camels at 11:24, but the Panthers responded with a methodical 114 run over the next seven minutes, building a 30-16 lead with 4:17 remaining before intermission. Matt Vadas hit the Camels final three of the game at 1:59, cutting the Panther advantage to 32-20 before Middlebury ended the half on a 4-0 burst and a 36-20 lead at the

break.

Ryan Sharry opened the second half with a bucket for the Panthers prior to a 6-0 dash by Connecticut, setting the score at 38-26 with 17:42 to play. The Camels could not break the double-digit barrier over the next 10 minutes of play, as they watched the deficit balloon to 23 points on a three from Kizel with 7:55 left in the game. During that time span, Connecticut went 2-10 from the field, while committing five turnovers. The Panther lead hovered around the 20-point margin for the reminder of the game.

Kizel paced Middlebury with 13 points off the bench on 5-8 shooting, including 3-3 marksmanship from behind the arc, while Nolan Thompson added 11 and Wolfin chipped in 10 points, and game-highs with seven assists and four steals.

Hanson led the Connecticut team with a game-high 18 points, highlighted by 10-11 shooting from the free throw line.

The eAgle - 13

A look at Vermont’s feeble job creation philosophy

By John McClaughry In his January inaugural address, new Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin repeatedly pledged to “put Vermonters back to work, one job at a time.”

On Feb. 3, Gov. Shumlin unveiled his long-awaited jobs bill, and hailed it as “by far one of the most comprehensive jobs bills that reflects our commitment to grow jobs in Vermont one job at a time.” He did not explain just what “one job at a time” is supposed to mean.

A few days later, Vermont Commerce and Community Development Secretary Lawrence Miller explained to legislators that the Shumlin jobs plan “is about focusing our efforts, being strategic with our thoughts and working together across agencies and across the private sector [and] with our educational institutions to get things done.”

The Shumlin philosophy here seems to be that jobs are created by a collection of shrewd, focused, well-coordinated government actions. There's not much to be said for government agencies that work at cross purposes to each other, but it's not at all apparent that Vermont's job shortfall is a result of a sluggish, confused, uncoordinated government failing to create them.

The jobs bill evinces a belief by the governor that the creative economy—artists, sculptors, poets, etc.—has the potential to create new jobs.

Thus it proposes to spend $100,000 to hire a new creative economy specialist to do something to stimulate the creative economy. This will end the years of government neglect and

set the creative economy ablaze with new job-producing activity.

The governor also believes that employers lack sufficient incentive to hire new employees. His jobs bill promises to pay selected employers up to $500 when they create a new, full time position, and fill it with someone who has been drawing unemployment benefits for five months or more.

Note that the employer can't collect the $500 by just rehiring the worker who was laid off a month ago. In any case, the total pot of money to be made available for paying employers to hire unemployed workers is only $25,000. That's enough to incentivize employers to hire some 50 workers a year.

Of course it will require the government to spend more than $25,000 to police the lucky employers to make sure they meet all the program requirements for pocketing the $500, but that's apparently included elsewhere in the budget.

Another example: beginning in 2016, the proposed science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) program will distribute $1,500 a year to Vermont college graduates in those fields for remaining in Vermont, presumably working, for five or more years.

Contrast the Shumlin philosophy of “government as the wellspring of correctly managed and channeled economic progress, one job at a time” with the philosophy of probably the nation's most economically successful governor, Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana.

In a recent speech Gov. Daniels explained that “we believe that government works for the benefit of private life, and not

the other way around.Every day we work to lower the costs and barriers to free men and women creating wealth for each other.When business leaders ask me what they can do for Indiana, I always reply: ‘Go make money. That’s the first act of corporate citizenship. If you do that, you'll have to hire someone else, and you'll have enough profit to help one of those nonprofits we're so proud of.’”

Shumlin appears to believe that economic progress comes from government wisely picking favorites, showering them with subsidies and credits, forcing consumers to buy their products at above-market prices, hiring functionaries to stimulate, coordinate and enforce, and managing government to carry out these tasks smoothly and efficiently.

Gov. Daniels believes quite the opposite. He recognizes the role of government in preserving public order, financing infrastructure, and underwriting, but not necessarily providing - the education essential for a prosperous economy and citizen self-government.

But beyond that, Gov. Daniels says, “We believe it is wrong ever to take a dollar from a free citizen without a very necessary public purpose, because each such taking diminishes the freedom to spend that dollar as the owner would prefer.”

That limited government, pro-freedom governing philosophy has put low-tax Indiana in the top rank of the nation's states, economically and fiscally.

The Shumlin jobs bill will give the Hoosiers little worry about losing their high ranking to “progressive” Vermont’s far more, high-tax, overregulated, low-growth nanny stateof-mind.
