Storm  cuts  power  to  1,200  in  county ADDISON  COUNTY  â€”  A  sum-­ mer  storm  Tuesday  night  resulted  LQ PRUH WKDQ $GGLVRQ &RXQW\ residents  losing  electric  service. Green  Mountain  Power  said  its  crews  worked  through  the  night  and  into  Wednesday  to  repair  more  than  20,000  outages  statewide.  Damage  was  most  severe  in  Washington  and  Addison  counties.  Lincoln,  Bristol  and  Ripton  were  particularly  hard  hit,  with  GMP  still  UHSRUWLQJ DQG RXWDJHV respectively  at  late  on  Wednesday  afternoon.

Trees  and  power  lines  were  downed  across  the  state. According  to  the  utility,  prepara-­ tions  were  made  in  advance  of  the  KHDY\ ZHDWKHU WR DVVXUH HIÂżFLHQW repairs. “We  brought  in  additional  line  workers  and  tree  trimmers  ahead  of  the  storm  and  so  we  have  an  ex-­ tensive  workforce  helping  us,  with  more  fresh  crews  arriving  this  morn-­ ing,â€?  GMP  spokeswoman  Kristin  Carlson  said  on  Wednesday.

Actor brings professionalism to Bread Loaf play Editor’s  note:  This  is  the  second  in  a  series  on  the  Bread  Loaf  summer  theatrical  producton. By  PHOEBE  LEWIS  RIPTON  â€”  When  Ian  McNeely  arrived  at  the  Bread  Loaf  School  RI (QJOLVK WKLV -XQH KH WXUQHG WR D nearby  student  and  asked,  â€œWhat  is  this  place?â€?  McNeely  had  been  hired  as  a  member  of  the  Bread  Loaf  Acting  Ensemble  only  a  few  weeks  before  the  Bread  Loaf  sessions  began  after  two  other  actors  had  to  back  out,  and  so  had  had  little  time  to  prepare  for  his  time  in  Ripton.  In  fact,  he  admit-­ ted  with  a  grin,  he  didn’t  even  have  time  to  Google  the  place. “I  was  a  replacement  of  a  replace-­ ment,â€?  McNeely  said.  Fortunately,  McNeely,  who  plays  Thersites  in  this  summer’s  produc-­ tion  of  â€œTroilus  and  Cressidaâ€?  and  will  conduct  the  production’s  mu-­ sical  component,  is  no  stranger  to  performing  in  new  and  different  en-­ vironments.  He  grew  up  in  Idaho  and  later  at-­ tended  the  University  of  Idaho  at  Moscow  as  a  theater  student.  There,  in  2009  he  was  awarded  a  Rabold  Fellowship,  which  guaranteed  him  an  expense-­paid  year  at  the  Oregon  Shakespeare  Festival,  where  he  had  roles  in  â€œParadise  Lost,â€?  â€œThe  Music  Manâ€?  and  â€œDon  Quixote.â€?  It  was  during  that  fellowship  in  Ashland,  Ore.,  that  McNeely  grew  to  love  Shakespeare.  â€œI  found  myself  going  though  un-­

dergrad  thinking  Shakespeare  was  boring  and  not  knowing  how  to  get  into  it,â€?  he  said.  â€œAfter  the  season  in  Ashland  it  totally  changed  my  mind.â€?  In  fact,  McNeely  was  so  invested  in  Shakespeare  that  upon  graduat-­ ing  from  the  University  of  Idaho,  he  and  some  friends  formed  their  own  Shakespeare  company,  the  â€œAnimal  Fire  Theater.â€?  7KH\ SHUIRUPHG ÂżYH SURGXFWLRQV including  â€œHamletâ€?  and  â€œA  Midsum-­ mer  Night’s  Dream,â€?  in  a  variety  of  venues  throughout  Moscow,  Idaho,  and  later  in  Olympia,  Wash.,  where  the  company  later  moved.  Perhaps  the  most  unusual  venue  the  Animal  Fire  Theater  performed  in  was  an  abandoned  mini-­mall  that  had  lost  nearly  all  of  its  business  due  to  the  recession.  A  bar  in  the  mall  was  looking  WR LQFUHDVH LWV IRRW WUDIÂżF DQG VR agreed  to  let  the  company  perform  while  patrons  ordered  drinks  â€”  au-­ diences  came,  the  bar  received  more  business,  and  the  Animal  Fire  The-­ ater  got  its  start.  Now  regularly  performing  Shake-­ speare  in  an  Olympia  park,  Animal  Fire  Theater  has  become  an  estab-­ lished  company  in  the  area,  so  much  that  it  is  continuing  this  summer  in  McNeely’s  absence.  â€œThey’re  still  going  without  us,â€?  McNeely  said.  â€œThey  were  such  a  suc-­ cess  because  families  wanted  to  see  Shakespeare,  they  were  hungry  for  it,  it  was  free.  It  was  something  to  take  your  kids  to.  It  was  really  special.â€?

Five  years  after  graduating  from  the  University  of  Idaho,  McNeely  moved  to  New  York,  where  he  ap-­ plied  to  graduate  theater  programs  and  was  accepted  into  the  Brown  University  Trinity  Repertory  Com-­ SDQ\ D PDVWHUV RI ÂżQH DUWV SURJUDP Brian  McEleney,  director  of  Bread  Loaf’s  production  of  â€œTroilus  and  Cressida,â€?  is  McNeely’s  main  pro-­ fessor  at  the  Trinity  Rep  program,  and  often  selects  students  from  the  MFA  program  for  the  Bread  Loaf  Acting  Ensemble.  Perhaps  the  most  unique  aspect  of  membership  in  the  Bread  Loaf  Act-­ ing  Ensemble  is  classwork  â€”  pro-­ fessors  will  often  call  actors  into  the  classroom  to  enact  certain  passages  of  the  text  and  lead  discussions  that  may  help  students  understand  the  material  from  a  fresh  perspective.  McNeely  has  already  performed  in  several  classes,  and  has  found  it  exciting  to  work  with  the  Bread  Loaf  students,  many  of  whom  are  high  school  English  teachers,  and  others  of  whom  are  writers.  â€œThey’re  like  teachers  being  stu-­ dents,  and  I  understand  what  that’s  like  as  someone  that  started  a  career  and  then  went  back  to  school,â€?  Mc-­ Neely  said.  â€œThe  dialogue  is  so  on  point  and  well  thought  out.â€? Now  at  Bread  Loaf,  McNeely  says  he  still  uses  the  â€œshorthandâ€?  he  learned  in  classes  with  McEleney  while  rehearsing  for  â€œTroilus  and  Cressida.â€?  â€œ(McEleney)  has  side-­coaching, Â

like  â€˜use  upward  pitch,’  and  he’ll  point  up  to  remind  us  to  go  up  at  the  end  of  the  sentence,â€?  McNeely  said.  â€œWe’ll  work  in  rehearsals  with  him  and  he’ll  use  shorthand  with  me  â€”  all  these  sig-­ nals,  and  people  must  think  we  have  some  sort  of  secret  language.â€?

As  well  as  accountability,  Tarallo  said  the  selectboard  believes  the  charter  change  could  in  the  future  RIIHU DQRWKHU NH\ EHQHÂżW ² LW DOORZV the  board  to  look  outside  town  bor-­ ders  for  employees.  While  stressing  the  board  is  happy  with  the  abilities  of  its  three  current  workers,  Tarallo  said  the  demands  of  the  jobs  are  increasing.  Down  the  road,  board  members  think  it  might  be  necessary  to  cast  a  wider  net  to  ¿QG SHRSOH ZLWK WKH ULJKW ÂłVNLOOVHWV ´ “I  think  maybe  the  environment  in  which  these  three  positions  operate  is  more  complex,â€?  she  said.  â€œAnd  we  have  started  to  realize  that  out  of  our  very  small  population  â€Ś  electing  people  out  of  our  limited  pool  is  not  sustainable.â€? In  researching  the  charter  change  last  year,  Tarallo  said  she  found  that  other  towns  are  dealing  with  the  same  question  as  state-­imposed  de-­ mands  for  accounting,  reporting  and  record-­keeping  continue  to  rise.  â€œIt  seems  like  something  many  towns,  especially  the  smaller  ones,  are  struggling  with,â€?  she  said,  add-­ ing,  â€œThere  is  a  growing  movement  of  looking  at  this.â€? The  charter  also  calls  for  differ-­ ent  employees  to  hold  the  town  clerk  and  treasurer  posts,  a  measure  that  Tarallo  said  will  ensure  â€œinternal  controlsâ€?  in  the  future,  â€œespecially  ¿QDQFLDO FRQWUROV ´ “It  separates  them  out,  and  I  think  that  is  generally  a  good  practice,â€?  she  said. Overall,  Viskup  said  there  was  some  understandable  anxiety  about  the  change  among  town  workers  at  ¿UVW EXW KH EHOLHYHV DW WKLV SRLQW DOO are  on  board.  â€œThey  were  all  a  little  bit  nervous  about  it  to  begin  with,  but  I  think  we  have  a  very  good  working  relation-­ ship  with  our  employees,  and  that’s  what  counts.  It’s  a  team,â€?  Viskup  said.  â€œWhen  you  get  a  team  that  works  together  and  pulls  together,  you’re  lucky.â€?

LINCOLN  â€”  The  town  of  Lin-­ FROQ ZLWK WKH ÂżQDQFLDO VXSSRUW RI the  Better  Back  Roads  Program,  has  been  able  to  reconstruct  the  troublesome  intersection  of  Mill  Road,  Grimes  Road  and  County  Road.  The  Vermont  Better  Back  Roads  program,  for  the  last  16  years,  has  been  offering  grant  op-­ portunities  to  towns  with  the  over-­ arching  goal  of  promoting  the  use  of  erosion  control  and  maintenance  techniques  while  protecting  and  enhancing  the  water  quality  of  Ver-­ mont’s  lakes  and  streams. The  intersection  had  several  is-­ sues  that  needed  to  be  addressed  as  a  whole  to  make  the  project  work  the  best.  Run-­off  from  County  Road  was  working  its  way  across  Grimes  Road  creating  a  water  issue  for  the  neighbors,  along  with  road  erosion.  And  Grimes  Road  wasn’t  sloped  in  a  way  that  allowed  the  water  to  get  to  a  ditch,  causing  even  more  erosion  and  even  going  so  far  as  to  cause  road  and  property  erosion  on  Mill  Road. Selectboard  member  Will  Sipsey  said  of  the  project,  â€œIt  is  great  to Â

see  these  back  road  issues  getting  addressed.  It  is  not  just  the  service-­ ability  of  the  roads  in  play  here.  We  are  in  the  Lake  Champlain  wa-­ tershed.  Every  time  we  reduce  the  wash  of  the  roads  we  reduce  the  turbidity  of  the  New  Haven  River  and  take  a  small  part  of  the  load  off  the  over-­burdened  lake.â€?

The  job  was  completed  last  fall  but  the  test  has  been  this  spring,  and  so  far  this  summer.  Sipsey  said  the  town  found  it  very  easy  to  work  with  the  Better  Back  Roads  Pro-­ gram  and  looks  forward  to  working  with  Better  Back  Roads  to  improve  town  infrastructure  and  water  qual-­ ity.

LINCOLN  â€”  Ah,  yes,  another  day  with  a  thunderstorm  warning.  My  dog  will  not  be  happy  â€”  and  my  screen  doors  are  already  torn.  Poor  dog  â€”  poor  house. Last  Wednesday’s  concert  on  the  green  in  Bristol  was  wonderful.  In-­ spiring  music,  toe-­tapping  marches  â€”  please  stop  by  and  enjoy  the  music  and  visit  with  your  neighbors  every  Wednesday  from  7-­8:15  p.m.  or  so. The  Lincoln  Historical  Society  will  be  open  the  second  and  fourth  Sundays  in  each  month  from  noon  until  4  p.m.  through  mid-­October.  They  have  an  exhibit  celebrating  the Â

65th  anniversary  of  the  Lincoln  Fire  Company. I  just  heard  about  several  break-­ins  Sunday  night.  The  Lincoln  Store  had  their  door  destroyed  and  several  ve-­ hicles  were  also  broken  into.  A  num-­ ber  of  things  were  stolen,  including  a  gun.  Let’s  hope  this  (or  these)  van-­ dal  is  apprehended  quickly.  I  still  remember  a  sad  little  girl  â€”  and  an  angry  mother  â€”  whose  change  col-­ lection  for  Sunday  School  was  taken,  and  that  was  years  ago. I  hope  your  summer  is  fantastic.  Don’t  forget  to  visit  your  library  for  good  reading  on  the  â€œinside  days.â€? Â

to  newer  filmmakers  as  much  of  his  career  has  focused  on  smaller,  independent  projects.  One  of  the  challenges  facing  smaller  films,  he  said,  is  ticketing  costs  â€”  what  he  characterized  as  â€œgourmet  foods  for  the  price  of  fast  food.â€?  That  is,  films  with  smaller  budgets  must  charge  the  same  amount  for  tickets  as  mega-­million-­dollar-­budgeted  films  to  break  even.  Perhaps  counter-­intuitively,  making  smaller  films  is  often  more  financially  strenuous  than  produc-­ ing  an  enormous  project.  In  order  to  find  sustainability  for  film,  â€œwe Â

Quentin  Tarentino’s  own  first  films  as  prime  examples. “Discover  and  be  discoveredâ€?  is  the  main  focus  of  the  Middlebury  festival,  Komesar  added.  Short  and  long  films,  high  and  low  budget  â€”  the  only  requirement  will  be  that  all  films  submitted  must  be  the  director’s  first  or  second  film.  This  creates  an  â€œequal  playing  field,â€?  Komesar  said,  so  that  while  age  and  education  may  fluctuate,  the  directors  will  have  similar  levels  of  experience.  â€œHopefully  people  will  follow  these  filmmakers’  careers  and  say, Â

‘I  saw  this  person’s  film  first  in  Middlebury,’â€?  Craven  said.  The  focus  on  newer  talent,  he  said,  is  an  â€œunspoken  hope  for  New  England  films.â€?  BASED  IN  MIDDLEBURY  In  focusing  on  Middlebury  as  well  as  the  films  themselves,  Craven  and  Komesar  hope  to  draw  on  the  town’s  long  estab-­ lished  history  of  literary  excel-­ lence.  Craven  noted  Middlebury  College’s  â€œstrong  cultural  commu-­ nity,â€?  looking  to  the  Bread  Loaf  School  of  English  and  the  college’s  long-­term  relationship  with  cele-­ brated  poet  Robert  Frost.  â€œFilm  is  a  story-­telling  tradition,  and  Middlebury  has  such  a  rich  history  of  storytellers,â€?  Craven  said.  Craven  and  Komesar  expect  to  receive  about  600  films  for  roughly  60  slots  in  the  festival  â€”  they  can  estimate  the  number  thanks  to  Withoutabox,  a  site  that  helps  connect  filmmakers  with  festivals  â€”  and  they  say  they  would  even  accept  international  applications.  Once  films  start  coming  in,  Craven  will  whittle  submissions  down  to  a  manageable  number,  and  of  those  films,  two  or  three  will  be  chosen  to  tour  18  yet-­undecided  New  England  venues. “The  core  is  film,  but  the  festival  is  a  community  event,â€?  Komesar  said.  He  and  Craven  have  been  speaking  to  several  local  venues  for  screening  options  and  have  secured  venues  with  the  Town  Hall  Theater  and  the  Marquis  Theater,  and  are  currently  in  talks  with  another  possible  location.  Beyond  film  screenings,  Craven  and  Komesar  hope  to  integrate  the  surrounding  community  into  the  three  days  of  the  festival  with  other  activities.  Komesar  is  particularly  interested  in  inviting  Middlebury’s  restaurants  to  cater  for  the  three  days  so  that  festivalgoers  can  grab  a  bite  to  eat  between  films. While  there  still  remains  an  impressive  amount  of  planning  before  the  festival  becomes  a  real-­ ity,  Komesar  and  Craven  remain  optimistic  and  excited  for  the  year  to  come.  Above  all,  Craven  stressed,  the  festival  is  about  promoting  a  community  that  centers  on  film,  while  also  drawing  newer  faces  into  the  film  community  to  create  an  exciting  and  dynamic  experi-­ ence  for  everyone  involved.  â€œThe  goal  in  film  is  to  take  the  viewer  into  another  world,â€?  he  said.  â€œWe’re  confident  this  festival  will  deliver  on  that  front,  as  well  as  many  others.â€?
