By  ZACH  DESPART MIDDLEBURY  —  Addison  County’s  23  towns  bore  the  brunt  of  a  Thanksgiving  Eve  snowstorm  that  blanketed  Vermont  and  much  of  the  Northeast  on  the  busiest  travel  day  of  the  year. Forecasters  from  the  National  :HDWKHU 6HUYLFH RIÂżFH LQ 6RXWK Burlington  said  Addison  County  got  more  snow  than  any  other  county  in  Vermont,  ranging  from  8  inches  in  Vergennes  to  16.5  inches Â
in  Orwell. “That  was  the  jackpot  area,�  said  NWS  meteorologist  Andrew  Lo- conto.  “There  was  a  pretty  good  snowband  which  dropped  some  good  amounts  across  the  county.� The  storm,  which  traveled  south- west  to  northeast,  brought  snow  to  Addison  County  starting  around  1  p.m.  Wednesday.  Loconto  said  the  heaviest  snow  began  around  10  p.m.,  and  by  sunrise  the  snow  fall  (See  Storm,  Page  34)

Talks  pour  new  hope  into  Middlebury  hydro  project By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  The  Mid- dlebury  selectboard  has  decided  to  reopen  its  negotiations  with  Anders  Holm  as  he  seeks  to  re- establish  a  hydroelectricity  opera- tion  at  the  Otter  Creek  falls. Holms’  long  running  plans  to  construct  a  1.6-Âmegawatt  hydro  turbine  near  the  falls  has  been  at  a  standstill  for  more  than  two  years.  Holms  owns  the  building  at  56  Main  St.,  right  next  to  the  pic-Â
turesque  falls.  Operating  as  Mid- dlebury  Electric  Co.,  he  wants  to  install  a  water  turbine  to  generate  HOHFWULFLW\ IURP WKH VZLIWO\ ÀRZ- ing  water  that  runs  underneath  his  building. Jeremy  Rathbun,  a  leader  of  the  Middlebury  Energy  Committee,  told  the  Middlebury  selectboard  on  Tuesday,  Nov.  25,  that  he  and  his  colleagues  met  with  Holm  on  Nov.  12  to  discuss  the  future  (See  Hydro,  Page  7)

Local man cuts a large job down to size By  FAITH  GONG EAST  MIDDLEBURY  —  The  sight  of  a  man  splitting  wood  is  common  enough  during  Vermont  autumns,  and  normally  attracts  little  notice.  But  this  fall,  people  passing  the  East  Middlebury  United  Meth- odist  Church,  at  the  intersection  of  Routes  116  and  125,  noticed  Albert Â
LaBerge. For  one  thing,  the  trees  that  La- Berge  was  steadily  dismantling  were  uncommonly  large.  They  stood  over  40  feet  tall,  and,  according  to  Peggy  Peabody  of  the  East  Middlebury  Historical  Society,  it’s  possible  that  the  two  maples  “were  planted  be- hind  the  church  as  a  property  marker Â
when  the  church  was  built  in  1847  or  thereabouts.â€?  LaBerge  estimates  that  the  largest  of  the  pair  was  4  feet,  6  inches  across.  LaBerge’s  persistence  attract- ed  admiring  notice  as  well.  The  74-Âyear-Âold  East  Middlebury  resi- dent,  who  goes  by  “Bert,â€?  worked  single-Âhandedly  beginning  in  early Â
September  to  chop  up  the  mas- sive  tree  trunks.  Almost  every  day  he  drove  his  Ranger  four-Âwheeler  the  half-Âmile  from  his  house  to  the  church,  pulling  either  a  trailer  or  a  splitter  behind  him.  (He  took  the  sidewalk  along  East  Main  Street  af- ter  local  police  received  some  com- (See  Tree,  Page  7)

A D D IS ON Â Â INDE P E NDEN T
Guest  Editorial Lawmakers  must  act  after  court’s  ruling  on  prison  suit Michael  Carpenter  is  a  Vermont  inmate  judged  as  a  habitual  offender  and  he  was  one  of  the  500  or  so  prisoners  the  state  sends  to  out-Âof-Âstate  prisons.  Today,  he  is  back  in  Vermont. He  is  back  because  he  won  his  lawsuit  against  the  state.  He  contend- ed  that  his  constitutional  rights  were  violated  and  Washington  Superior  Court  Judge  Helen  Toor  agreed.  She  ruled  he  was  denied  equal  protec- tion  under  the  Constitution. Mr.  Carpenter  claimed  the  discrimination  because  only  men  are  sent  to  out-Âof-Âstate  prisons.  Female  prisoners  remain  in  Vermont. Mr.  Carpenter  has  twin  boys  and  he  wants  to  see  them.  That  was  not  possible  when  he  was  imprisoned  in  Kentucky.  Filing  suit,  as  it  turns  out,  was  his  way  back. But  the  effect  of  Ms.  Toor’s  ruling  extends  beyond  Mr.  Carpenter  and  his  individual  desire  to  see  his  children.  As  the  judge  wrote:  “The  court  cannot  sanction  DOC’s  policy  of  sending  male  inmates  far  from  home,  regardless  of  whether  they  have  close  bonds  with  their  young  children,  while  keeping  all  women  nearby.â€?  She  added  that  the  “policy  of  send- ing  only  men  out  of  state  is,  for  all  practical  purposes,  equivalent  to  a  regulation  barring  all  contact  with  the  inmates’  minor  children.â€? The  state  failed  to  prove  its  case  that  the  Constitution  does  not  pro- vide  inmates  with  rights  to  visitation.  And  the  state  was  unable  to  con- vince  the  judge  that  Vermont  hasn’t  the  space  to  house  these  inmates  and  that  bringing  them  back  would  create  the  traditional  problems  that  come  with  overcrowding. The  state  has  not  appealed  the  ruling.  Judge  Toor’s  ruling  affects  only  Mr.  Carpenter.  For  now.  The  state  has  two  basic  options  (aside  from  pursuing  future  court  action):  It  could  keep  those  male  prisoners  who  have  children  in  Vermont,  or  it  could  begin  sending  women  out  of  state  as  well. The  chances  are  zilch  that  we  will  begin  shipping  our  female  prison- ers  out  of  state. That  brings  the  issue  back  to  the  obvious:  money.  Vermont  has  sent  its  prisoners  out  of  state  for  16  years  and  we  have  done  so  because  it  costs  less  to  house  them  in  Kentucky  or  Arizona  than  it  does  here.  We’ve  also  been  unwilling  to  pay  what  it  would  cost  to  have  them  here. It’s  an  expensive  process.  Vermont’s  prisons  are  home  to  roughly  200  inmates  who  would  ordinarily  be  released,  but  there  is  no  housing.  %XLOGLQJ QHZ SULVRQV LV QRW RQO\ H[SHQVLYH EXW SROLWLFDOO\ GLIÂżFXOW Most  communities  don’t  want  them  and  those  who  have  them  aren’t  thrilled  with  the  idea  of  having  them  expanded. We’d  prefer  not  to  deal  with  the  issue  at  all,  but  Judge  Toor  may  have  taken  that  option  away. How  we  respond  will  be  a  question  for  the  Legislature,  which  can  pursue  several  options,  one  being  the  need  to  provide  new  beds  for  returning  inmates,  or  to  change  sentencing  requirements,  whereby  the  courts  send  fewer  offenders  to  jail.  Vermonters  for  Criminal  Justice  Reform,  for  example,  makes  the  case  that  penalties  for  nonviolent  drug  crimes  should  not  include  incarceration. We  have  already  moved  in  that  direction  with  the  passage  of  legisla- tion  that  decriminalizes  the  possession  of  small  amounts  of  marijuana.  The  move  to  legalize  pot  in  Vermont  may  raise  the  issue  of  costs  versus  EHQHÂżWV +RZ PXFK PRQH\ ZRXOG WKH FRUUHFWLRQV V\VWHP EH VDYHG LI the  drug  were  legalized?)  But  the  discussion  is  not  that  simple.  Gov- HUQPHQWÂśV ÂżUVW UHVSRQVLELOLW\ LV SXEOLF VDIHW\ +DYLQJ MDLO EH D SODFH IRU YLROHQW RIIHQGHUV RQO\ GRHVQÂśW VXIÂżFH %XUJODU\ LQ VRPH FDVHV LV QRW D violent  crime,  but  it’s  hardly  something  to  encourage  by  removing  the  threat  of  jail  time. It’s  not  apparent  that  the  Legislature  will  have  this  issue  on  its  plate  this  session.  And  it  may  not  occur  at  all.  The  state  did  not  appeal  this  decision,  but  it  intends  to  more  forcefully  challenge  any  other  lawsuit  WKDW PLJKW EH ÂżOHG ,I WKH VWDWH ZLQV WKH VWDWXV TXR UHPDLQV ,WÂśV DOVR possible  the  court  would  accept  a  technological  substitute  for  personal  visits  —  Skype,  for  example.

that  system,  failing  to  take  strong  measures  to  break  our  addiction  to  fossil  fuels  will  be  even  more  dis- ruptive  and  life-Âchanging.  We  have  ignored  the  warnings  of  scientists  regarding  the  changing  climate  for  decades.  Now  there  is  little  time  to  make  great  changes  —  10-Â30  years.  After  that,  we  are  in  for  catastrophic  climate  change.  So,  when  are  we  going  to  make  the  changes  we  must  make  for  hu-Â

By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  An  Addison  County  Superior  Court  judge  has  GLVPLVVHG D FLYLO ODZVXLW Âż OHG E\ a  local  man  against  the  town  of  Middlebury,  Middlebury  College,  the  Addison  Independent  and  Bread  Loaf  Corp.  The  plaintiff,  Middlebury  resident  Alpine  Bingham,  alleged  the  defendants’  collective  actions  XQGXO\ LQĂ€ XHQFHG WKH HOHFWRUDWH prior  to  votes  held  earlier  this  year  on  the  $6.5  million  municipal  building/ recreation  center  project.

much  a  gift  to  Bert  LaBerge  as  to  the  Methodist  church.  After  grow- ing  up  one  of  12  children  on  his  family’s  farm  in  Charlotte,  LaBerge  went  on  to  work  for  Howlett  Farms  in  Bridport.  After  he  left  farming  in  1992,  he  became  an  auto  mechanic.  In  2007,  he  was  diagnosed  with  Parkinson’s  disease,  a  progressive  nervous  system  disorder  that  gradu- ally  causes  stiffness  and  slowed  movement.  When  his  Parkinson’s  symptoms  forced  him  to  stop  driv- ing,  LaBerge  retired  from  auto  me- chanics  and  said  he  looked  around  for  “something  I  could  basically  do  from  home.â€?  This  led  him  to  the  wood  business.  In  2009  he  began  splitting  wood  for  a  small  clientele  of  friends  and  neighbors.  “The  doctors  tell  me  that  if  I  don’t  keep  moving  around,  I’ll  stiffen  up.  And  once  I  stiffen  up,  there’s  no Â
coming  back,â€?  LaBerge  said.  Cutting  wood  keeps  him  moving,  and  he  likes  being  able  to  set  his  own  hours.  Because  the  Parkinson’s  limits  his  mobility,  LaBerge  says  that  the  job  at  the  Methodist  church  was  a  godsend. “It  has  been  a  blessing  to  me,â€?  he  said.  “It’s  close  enough  where  I  can  do  everything  with  the  Ranger.â€? Although  he  works  alone,  the  tree  work  at  the  church  turned  out  to  be  unexpectedly  social.  “Just  random  people  would  stop  by,â€?  either  to  chat  or  to  offer  a  hand,  according  to  LaBerge’s  wife,  Donna.  One  Saturday  in  November,  a  couple  from  Berlin,  Vt.,  who  were  out  for  a  drive  noticed  LaBerge  at  work  and  stopped  to  help  him  with  a  particularly  large  piece  of  trunk.  “He’s  become  sort  of  a  celebrity  around  town,â€?  Pastor  Bushman  said. LaBerge  estimates  that  he  got  at Â
least  four  cords  of  wood  from  the  two  trees.  He  said  the  wood  from  WKH ODUJHVW WUHH LV ÂłJUHDW ÂżUHZRRG ´ which  won’t  need  to  be  seasoned  since  the  tree  was  already  dead.  Af- WHU KH ÂżQLVKHV VSOLWWLQJ WKH ZRRG KH says  he’ll  keep  some,  and  hopes  to  sell  —  or  perhaps  give  —  the  rest  “to  the  local  people  here  that  are  hurting  IRU ÂżUHZRRG ´ +HÂśV QRWLFHG ÂłD UHDO VKRUWDJH RI ÂżUHZRRG WKLV \HDU EH- cause  of  the  cold  winter  last  year.â€?  Bert  LaBerge  drove  his  last  load  of  wood  from  the  Methodist  church  down  the  East  Middlebury  sidewalk  one  week  before  Thanksgiving.  With  the  trees  gone,  the  church  plans  to  turn  the  open  space  into  a  commu- nity  garden  next  spring. And  what’s  next  for  Bert  La- Berge?  A  winter  rest,  perhaps? “I’ll  keep  cutting  wood,â€?  he  said.  “When  the  weather’s  right,  I  go  out  there  and  get  to  it.â€?
Service  Corp.  (now  merged  into  Green  Mountain  Power)  pitched  a  hydro  project  that  ultimately  did  not  advance.  It  was  in  2007  that  Holm  began  his  quest  for  water  power  in  that  area.

RACHEL DORAN
Bixby Library to display Rachel Doran’s photos VERGENNES — An installation of Rachel Doran’s photography will be on display at the Bixby Library from Dec. 8 until early January. This collection of nature photogra- phy, titled “Past, Present, Future — Dreaming” — gathers together im- ages from several years of work. The photographs will be displayed in the library’s Vermont Room, the home of one of the largest collections of Vermontiana in the state. The show overlaps the display of another lo- cal artist, painter Eloise Beil, in the library’s Half Round Room, which will be shown until mid-December. The artist describes her work as an expression of feelings and thoughts about life — what once was and what could be, and especially of reverence for the beauty of nature.” The images are intense studies of nature and the
intersections of human conscious- ness and the natural world. The artist envisions the present as a threshold full of “opportunity to love, to do and create, to give, and to be grateful.” The show is the second exposition of Doran’s work at the Bixby Library in six years. Doran received an MFA from NYU School of the Arts in the ’70s, and a BA in English from Cornell Univer- sity in the ’60s. She also has a nurs- ing degree from UVM from the ’90s. She works with handicapped children and the elderly these days, and in her spare time, camps with her husband. They have two married sons, and are H[SHFWLQJ WKHLU ¿UVW JUDQGFKLOG 6KH has shown her photographs in St. Paul’s Cathedral and in libraries and Senior Centers around the Burlington area for 14 years.

ACORN  to  help  boost  Vt.  Harvest  of  the  Month  campaign MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Addison  County  Relocalization  Network  (ACORN)  is  working  with  Vermont  Harvest  of  the  Month  to  launch  a  sustained  food  education  campaign  in  Addison  Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  elementary  and  pre-Âschools.  Developed  in  2013  by  Green  Mountain  Farm-Âto-ÂSchool  in  the  Northeast  Kingdom,  Vermont  Harvest  of  the  Month  provides  monthly  ready- to-Âgo-Âmaterials  and  training  tools  for  the  classroom,  cafeteria,  and  community  that  promote  the  use  of  local,  seasonal Â
foods.  Last  year,  the  program  reached  40,000  students,  expanding  from  20  schools  to  more  than  230  schools  or  more  than  half  the  schools  in  Vermont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  2014  we  helped  enroll  every  elementary  school  in  the  county  in  the  program  because  we  believe  that  it  is  the  most  comprehensive  statewide  educational  campaign  for  locally- grown  foods,â&#x20AC;?  said  Jonathan  Corcoran,  ACORNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  executive  director.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  school  year,  we  want  to  bring  Harvest  of  the  Month  to  the  wider  attention  of  our  community.  This  program  has  the Â
potential  to  shift  the  food  culture  of  our  schools  in  the  direction  of  improving  child  nutrition,  learning  about  healthy  food  choices  and  sourcing  food  locally  from  area  growers.â&#x20AC;? A  Cornwall  teacher  sees  value  in  Harvest  of  the  Month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real  food  education  is  all  about  letting  kids  get  involved  in  the  process  of  discovery,â&#x20AC;?  said  Emily  Hoyler,  third- grade  teacher  at  Bingham  Memorial  School  in  Cornwall.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harvest  of  the  Month  gives  students  an  opportunity  to  try  something  new  and  healthy  every Â
month.  The  kids  taste-Âtest  the  featured  food  and  vote  on  how  much  they  like  it  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  lot,  a  little  or  try  it  another  time.  Our  foodservice  director  then  incorpo- rates  the  food  into  the  menu  and  tries  to  buy  it  from  local  growers.â&#x20AC;?  To  sustain  its  food  education  work  with  Addison  County  schools,  ACORN  is  launching  its  Annual  Appeal  on  Giving  this  week  (Dec.  2)  to  raise  $15,000  from  the  community.  The  proceeds  will  go  to  support  teach- ers  with  workshops  on  applying  the  Common  Core  to  food  education  and  to Â
working  with  Harvest  of  the  Month,  to  train  volunteers  to  organize  taste-Âtests  in  classrooms,  to  sponsor  workshops  for  growers  interested  in  selling  to  schools,  and  to  support  school  foodservice  with  recipes  and  professional  development.  Additionally,  ACORN  is  distribut- ing  a  Harvest  of  the  Month  calendar  to  every  3rd-Â6th  grade  elementary  school  family  in  the  countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  three  school  districts.  For  more  information  on  Harvest  of  the  Month,  go  online  to  www.  vermontharvestofthemonth.org.

Storm  (Continued  from  Page  1) had  ceased. Most  Addison  County  towns  saw  more  than  10  inches,  includ- ing  Starksboro  (11.5  inches),  East  Middlebury  (12.4)  and  Cornwall  (14).  Loconto  said  the  wide  varia- tion  in  snow  totals  was  due  to  a  narrow  band  of  intense  snow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That  band  did  pivot  to  the  north,  but  the  most  intense  snow  was  in  the  central  and  southern  parts  of  the  county,â&#x20AC;?  he  said. In  Vermont,  snow  totals  varied  widely.  Central  and  southern  coun- ties  saw  near-Âwhiteout  conditions  while  the  northern  part  of  the  state  escaped  with  little  accumulation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  Franklin  County  they  got  just  a  few  inches,â&#x20AC;?  Loconto  said. The  changing  path  of  the  storm  took  weather  watchers  by  surprise. At  the  beginning  of  the  week,  forecasters  predicted  the  storm  to  track  though  just  Bennington  and  Windham  counties.  On  Tuesday,  area  meteorologists  said  most  of  Addison  County  could  expect  3  to  7  inches.  Not  until  Wednesday  morning,  just  hours  before  the  storm,  did  forecasters  revise  their  snow  estimates  to  6  to  12  inches  in  Addison  County.  Even  that  guess  turned  out  to  be  low  for  some  towns. Stranger  still  was  that  on  Mon- day,  Nov.  24,  temperatures  across  Vermont  surged  into  the  60s.  Bur- lingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  high  of  69  degrees  set  an  all-Âtime  record  for  that  date. Just  48  hours  later,  temperatures  dipped  into  the  20s  and  the  state  ZDV KLW E\ LWV ÂżUVW VQRZVWRUP RI the  year.  Despite  the  recent  cold  days,  Loconto  said  this  has  been  a  warmer  than  average  November  by  about  one  degree.
