Family fetes 200 years in home

BEVERLY  LANDON  CELEBRATED  exactly  200  years  of  her  family’s  ownership  of  the  Fitts/Farr  home-­ stead  in  New  Haven  on  June  5.  Landon’s  great-­great-­great-­great-­grandfather  Simon  Farr  purchased  the  River  Road  property  for  $3,000. Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell

NEW  HAVEN  â€”  Beverly  Mar-­ shall  Landon  and  her  kin  go  back  a  long  way  in  New  Haven.  She  and  family  members  gathered  at  the  Fitts/Farr  homestead  at  730  River  Road  on  June  5  to  celebrate  owner-­ ship  of  the  stately  white  farmhouse  for  exactly  200  years. Landon’s  great-­great-­great-­great-­ grandfather  Simon  Farr  purchased  the  property  from  Ruloff  Law-­ rence,  who  lived  in  Middlebury,  for  $3,000.  This  very  special  Two  Century  Celebration  included  Landon’s  children,  Cynthia  Graham,  Tracy  Longchamp,  Christopher  Landon,  Billi  Jo  Whitehill  and  Lou-­Bea  Landon-­Forbes,  together  with  their  spouses  and  nearly  all  of  her  dozen  grandchildren.  They  joined  in  a  family-­style  picnic  on  the  200-­year-­ old  property  in  a  birthday  party  that  included  a  special  cake.  Landon  prepared  individual  books  for  her  children  giving  the  history  of  the  property  including  photos  of  build-­ ings,  a  landscape  map  and  family Â

history  over  the  years. The  present  residence  was  built  about  1830  and  extensive  repairs  were  later  done  including  clap-­ boards  and  new  windows  with  the  addition  of  two  front  piazzas  hap-­ pening  in  1903,  according  to  the  news  article  found  in  the  Middle-­ bury  Register.  A  phone  was  in-­ stalled  in  the  farm  house  about  July  17,  1903,  according  to  another  news  article. Electricity  was  installed  in  1927  and  plumbing  also  arrived  in  May  of  that  same  year.  Insulation  was  com-­ pleted  Aug.  31  of  1942  by  the  Eagle  Rock  Wool  Insulation  Company  of  9HUPRQW DFFRUGLQJ WR D FHUWLÂżFDWH Beverly’s  father  added  a  new  hot  water  heating  system  throughout  the  house  in  the  fall  of  1956. In  1950  a  hurricane  caused  wind  damage  to  the  horse  barn  roof,  and  made  the  storage  barn  a  total  wreck.  The  grain  barn  came  off  its  founda-­ tion  and  the  young  cattle  barn  was  heavily  damaged. Many  births,  marriages,  deaths, Â

anniversaries,  services,  meetings  and  other  celebrations  have  been  hosted  or  happened  over  these  200  years.  Much  happiness  has  thrived  here,  including  one  very  special  de-­ livery  of  a  Shetland  pony  to  three  little  Fitts  girls  by  Santa  Claus;Íž  they  found  the  little  pony  inside  their  liv-­ ing  room  tied  to  the  front  door  knob!  One  other  notable  event  at  the  homestead  was  the  delivery  of  a  baby  in  January  of  1956.  The  father  and  his  wife  became  stuck  in  the  snow  nearby  while  on  their  way  to  the  hospital,  and  they  came  to  the  house  for  shelter,  where  the  father  delivered  his  child. Blanche  Fitts  (Beverly’s  grand-­ mother)  used  to  take  boarders  at  the  family  homestead,  which  was  then  called  Crystal  Spring  Farm.  To  this  very  day,  that  same  spring  supplies  the  homestead  and  those  driving  by  the  residence  may  observe  the  grav-­ LW\ RYHUĂ€RZ RI WKH VSULQJ DV LW VSXUWV up  into  the  air  just  east  of  the  house.

Projects  raising  awareness  about  education  disparity By  XIAN  CHIANG-­WAREN MIDDLEBURY  â€”  While  the  number  of  college  graduates  is  on  the  rise,  low-­income  students  are  less  likely  to  hold  a  degree  than  their  wealthier  peers. Meghan  Mason,  a  Middlebury  res-­ ident  and  Middlebury  College  staff  member,  is  launching  a  campaign  to  fund  a  project  she  hopes  will  raise  awareness  about  the  challenges  some  high  school  students  face  when  it  comes  to  getting  a  college  education.

Mason’s  passion  for  higher  educa-­ tion  access  stems  from  her  own  roots.  She  grew  up  just  outside  of  Akron,  Ohio,  and  attended  Ohio’s  Miami  University  before  pursuing  her  M.A.  at  Ohio  State.  She  counts  herself  lucky  that  she  had  a  role  model  in  her  life  â€”  her  mother  â€”  who  encour-­ aged  her  to  continue  her  education.  But  she  also  recalls  many  peers  who  did  not  continue  on  to  college,  and Â

her  own  self-­doubt  when  personal  situations  made  her  question  whether  FROOHJH ZRXOG EH D ÂżQDQFLDOO\ IHD-­ sible  option.

Let’s  see  how  gas  stacks  up The  request  by  a  few  members  of  the  Addison  County  legislative  delega-­ tion  to  have  the  Public  Service  Department  prepare  a  study  on  the  economic  and  environmental  cost  of  two  proposed  Vermont  Gas  Systems  pipelines  through  the  county  is  right  on  target,  though,  perhaps,  a  few  months  tardy.  The  charge  to  the  PSD  is  to  provide  â€œa  full,  least-­cost  analysis,  on  a  life-­ cycle  basisâ€?  of  the  pipelines  compared  to  two  other  options:  maintaining  the  VWDWXV TXR RU GHOLYHULQJ OLTXLÂżHG QDWXUDO JDV WR $GGLVRQ &RXQW\ EXVLQHVVHV and  letting  residents  continue  with  the  fuel  sources  they  have.  A  least-­cost  analysis  on  a  life-­cycle  basis  should  cover  the  gamut  of  ex-­ SHQVHV IURP H[WUDFWLRQ WR GHOLYHU\ WR IXHO HIÂżFLHQF\ DW WKH SRLQW RI FRQVXPS-­ tion.  That  applies  to  the  economics  of  the  type  of  fuel  used  as  well  as  to  the  environmental  impact  of  the  fuel.  Of  particular  interest  is  the  amount  of  pollution,  particularly  the  release  of  carbon  dioxide  in  the  fracking  process  used  to  extract  natural  gas,  caused  by  the  escape  of  methane  gas  at  the  well-­head.  According  to  a  2011  Cornell  study  re-­ cently  being  cited  by  the  Conservation  Law  Foundation,  there  is  an  increase  in  global  warming  pollution  from  natural  gas  use  because  of  methane  emissions  in  the  extraction  process.  The  study  was  used  by  CLF  to  suggest  that  most  of  the  natural  gas  used  in  the  Addison  pipelines  would  come  from  gas  extracted  through  a  fracking  process  â€”  a  hypothetical  assumption,  at  best.

Middlebury  offers  an  ideal  setting A  fellow  publisher  from  my  home  state  of  Kansas  stopped  by  this  weekend  for  dinner  at  our  Lake  Dunmore  home.  He  sold  his  three  papers  back  in  2007  while  in  his  late  50s,  and  he  and  his  wife  have  been  shopping  ever  since.  Not  for  goods  to  consume,  but  for  a  new  place  to  live.  They’ve  shopped  California,  found  the  weather  delight-­ ful  around  the  Santa  Barbara  area,  but  housing  and  living  expenses  in  the  stratosphere.  Ditto  the  Bay  Area  around  San  Francisco.  They’ve  shopped  Oregon  (from  Bend  to  the  rugged  coast  line),  the  spectacular  northwest  corner  of  Washington  state,  up  and  down  the  Rockies,  even  Las  Vegas  â€”  great  deals  on  houses,  they  said,  but  the  underbelly  of  that  city  and  the  surrounding  area  is  what  you  might  By Angelo expect.  Lynn They’ve  been  to  the  Carolinas,  Vir-­ ginias,  parts  of  the  East  Coast,  Wis-­ consin-­Minnesota  areas  (Madison  was  a  consideration,  they  said,  but  the  politics  are  not  what  they  were  in  the  1970s).  And  they’ve  been  to  Maine,  New  Hampshire,  Massachusetts  and  several  parts  of  New  York,  including  the  city.  Throughout  the  years,  what  they’ve  learned  â€”  and  al-­ ways  knew  â€”  is  there’s  no  perfect  spot.  Each  place  has  its  attributes  and  detractions.  Picking  a  home  town,  in  their  circumstance,  is  somewhat  like  a  marriage:  You  need  com-­ patibility,  but  most  important  is  trying  to  determine  if  the  community  you  pick  will  result  in  a  relationship  in  which  it  feels  good  to  give  back. This  visit  was  their  third  to  Middlebury,  a  town  they  had  considered  several  years  ago  (and  which  is  still  in  the  running),  but  it  hasn’t  been  so  compelling  to  call  off  their  search  and  settle  in.  At  least,  not  yet.  In  the  course  of  our  conversation  that  evening,  which  OLQJHUHG XQWLO MXVW SDVW ZH FRPSDUHG QRWHV RI SODFHV ZH had  all  lived  and  how  each  stacked  up  in  our  hierarchy  of  favorites.  We  boasted  of  the  college  and  its  willingness  to Â

Again  and  again  she  had  to  put  her  hands  over  her  ears.  My  rolled-­ up  plug  of  paper  towel  worked  well  enough  to  I  didn’t  have  to  do  that,  but  when  I  stood  up  and  turned  DURXQG WR HPSKDVL]H KRZ EDG LW was,  the  only  response  from  the  woman  behind  me  was  â€œSit  down!â€?  â€”  with  the  implication  that  I  was  the  one  being  rude.  By  that  time,  I  probably  was.  The  younger  woman  behind  my  wife  said  with  pride,  â€œI’m  probably  louder  than  she  is!â€? When  it  ended,  the  younger  woman  asked  me,  â€œHaven’t  you  ever  been  to  a  theater?  You  have  to  expect  it  to  be  loud  at  a  theater.â€?  As  a  matter  of  fact  I  have  probably  written  reviews  for  more  produc-­ tions  than  this  person  has  ever  seen,  all  through  southwestern  Vermont,  and  in  many  of  those  venues  such  loudness  and  discourtesy  would  have  brought  immediate  atten-­ tion  from  the  ushers.  Sounds  loud  enough  to  hurt  are  loud  enough  to  cause  damage,  and  the  right  to  free  speech  doesn’t  apply  any  more  than  it  does  if  someone  wants  to  yell  â€œFireâ€?  in  a  crowded  theater.

A  home’s  vantage  points  are  one  of  its  most  universally  en-­ joyable  attributes—but  when  not  considered  carefully,  they  can  be  a  sore  spot  that  causes  â€œbuyer’s  remorseâ€?.  When  viewing  proper-­ ties,  consider  whether  the  win-­ dows  are  large  and  well  placed,  if  the  common  rooms  are  designed  with  the  view  in  mind,  and  if  the  best  views  of  the  house  are  located  in  areas  where  they  are  most  likely  to  be  enjoyed—after  all,  a  gorgeous  view  is  wasted  if  it’s  only  seen  from  the  bathroom  or  laundry  area!  Be  mindful  of  which  windows  in  a  home  face  east  and  west,  considering  that  those  rooms  will  have  a  beauti-­ ful  view  of  the  sunrise  and  sun-­ set,  but  will  also  require  window  treatments  to  ensure  comfort  and  functionality  when  the  sun  is  at  its  peak.  Consider  how  close  to  ma-­ jor  roads,  railways  or  airports  the  home  is  located,  and  whether  the  ZLQGRZV IDFH QRLV\ WUDIÂżF ÂżOOHG VWUHHWV :LOO URDG UDLO RU DLU WUDIÂżF be  a  source  of  noise  pollution  or  obscure  the  view  from  inside  the  home?   Whether  you’re  consider-­ ing  a  waterfront  villa,  a  mountain  cottage  or  a  suburban  single-­fami-­ ly  home,  make  sure  that  your  view  is  clear  and  unobstructed.  Can  you  see  the  water,  the  forest  or  the  mountain,  or  are  your  windows  facing  your  neighbor’s  driveway?  Walk  through  the  home  at  dif-­ ferent  times  of  day,  making  sure  to  evaluate  whether  the  outdoor  areas,  patios,  porches  and  decks  provide  an  open  air  venue  for  re-­ laxation,  enjoyment  and  the  view  that’s  right  for  you!   Ingrid  Punderson  Jackson Real  Estate ‡ FHOO WROO IUHH www.middvermontrealestate.com

ADDISON  â€”  The  John  Strong  Mansion  Museum,  owned  and  oper-­ ated  by  the  Vermont  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution,  has  received  a  grant  of  $6,900  to  support  the  repair  and  preservation  of  its  historic  front  portico.  The  grant  is  provided  by  the  Vermont  State  Society  and  the  National  Society  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution.  Repair  work  on  the  building’s  distinctive  porch  began  recently.  The  mansion  will  be  open  for  guided  tours  during  the  repair  work. The  front  porch  is  one  of  the  Strong  Mansion’s  most  distinctive  features.  While  it  has  been  repaired  DQG PRGLÂżHG RYHU WKH \HDUV DQ photo  shows  the  porch  looking  very  similar  to  the  way  it  looks  today,  but  with  wooden  steps  on  a  stone  foundation.  The  preservation  goal  is  to  restore  it  to  its  original  appear-­ ance,  using  modern  and  unobtrusive  techniques  of  support  to  ensure  its  strength  and  durability. Vermont  DAR  State  Regent  Elizabeth  Bicknell  said,  â€œThis  recognition  by  the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution  at  the  state  and  national  level  reinforces  what  a  treasure  we  have  in  the  Strong  Mansion.  The  DAR  understands  that  the  John  Strong  Mansion  is  a  valued  asset  that  carries  a  consider-­ able  responsibility  â€”  a  heritage  that  should  be  shared  with  all  who  want  to  know  more  about  colonial  life  and  THE  JOHN  STRONG  Mansion  Museum  in  Addison  has  received  a  his-­ the  early  foundations  of  Vermont  toric  preservation  grant  to  restore  the  building’s  front  porch  to  its  origi-­ statehood.â€? nal  appearance,  as  seen  in  this  1934  photo.

four-­person  boats  made  for  coastal  rowing.  Their  design  is  based  off  of  the  Fair  Isle  skiff,  a  generic  form  that  is  descended  from  the  smaller  Viking  skiffs.  The  museum  has  built  two  St.  Ayles  skiffs  with  the  Community  High  School  of  Vermont  as  part  of  its  Champlain  Longboats  Program.  The Â

Longboats  Program,  initiated  in  1999,  is  an  innovative  boatbuilding  and  rowing  program  that  partners  the  museum  with  regional  schools  and  community  organizations.  The  primary  goal  is  to  develop  positive,  healthy  behavior  in  middle  and  high  school  students  at  a  critical  time  in  their  lives  by  giving  them Â

the  opportunity  to  experience  the  team-­  and  self-­esteem-­building  nature  of  boat  building  and  rowing. The  LCMM  Community  Rowing  Club  offers  adult  rowing  every  week  May  through  October  utiliz-­ ing  the  museum’s  longboats  and  skiffs.  LCMM  members  sign  up  to  experience  the  beauty  of  Lake Â

Champlain  while  getting  a  great  physical  workout.  Adult  commu-­ nity  teams  also  participate  in  regional  rowing  competitions. For  more  information  on  the  Rowing  Club  or  Champlain  Longboats  Program,  contact  the  museum  at  802-­475-­2022  or  info@ lcmm.org.

RIPTON  â€”  Spirit  in  Nature,  the  faith-­based  nature  paths  in  Ripton,  will  dedicate  its  new  Native  American  Path  this  Sunday,  July  7,  from  1-­4  p.m.  with  a  Native  American  ceremony  and  picnic  at  Spirit  in  Nature  in  Ripton.  This  long-­anticipated  new  path  was  completed  last  year  with  the  help  of  Jennifer  Vyhnak  of  Bristol  and  Richard  Pigeon  from  New  <RUN VWDWH 9\KQDN KDV &KHURNHH ancestry  and  Pigeon  and  his  wife,  Sandy,  are  members  of  the  Otter  Creek  band  of  Abenaki.

For  those  familiar  with  this  popular  walking  (and  snowshoe-­ ing)  venue,  this  new  path  runs  from  the  Christian  Path  on  the  west  to  the  Pagan  Path  on  the  east  end  with  a  side  loop  passing  a  stone  with  a  natural  bowl-­shaped  depression  where  offerings  may  be  left,  and  a  side  path  to  a  grove  with  two  large  red  pines.  The  sayings  on  the  signs  along  the  path  were  contributed  by  both  Vyhnak  and  Pigeon.  They  have  jointly  planned  the  ceremony. The  event  will  take  place  at  the Â

Over  the  coming  weeks,  Leven-­ dusky  told  Bohjalian  all  about  the  German  presence  in  Italy  during  World  War  II.  â€œHe  would  tell  me  one  â€˜Nazis  in  Tuscany’  atrocity  story  after  another.â€? “Whenever  we  think  of  Tuscany  now,  we  think  of  Chianti  and  sun-­ Ă€RZHUV DQG JRDW FKHHVH DQG ELF\FOH tours,â€?  Bohjalian  said.  â€œBut  for  eight  PRQWKV LQ EHDXWLIXO 7XVFDQ\

But  for  the  novelist,  the  ultimate  beauty  was  in  the  irony  that  despite  the  deliberate  attempts  to  destroy  it,  beauty  had  prevailed  against  war. “Back  to  that  granary,  they  tried  to  blow  it  up  so  it  couldn’t  be  used  as  a  spotting  tower,â€?  he  said.  â€œIt  was  600  years  old  but  it  was  so  well  built  that  part  of  it  was  still  standing  and  it  was,  in  fact,  now  a  beautiful  bed  and  breakfast.  And  that’s  when  I  realized,  this  is  my  â€˜Romeo  and  Juliet.’â€? “It  was  a  rundown  pile  of  rubble  and  they  rebuilt  it  into  a  beautiful  villa  where  they  live  and  work  now. But,  as  he  admits,  â€œâ€˜Romeo  and  Juliet’  is  a  tough  act  to  follow.  And  maybe  that’s  why  the  book  evolved  from  beyond  a  pure  reimagining  of  two  young,  doomed  lovers.â€? Bohjalian  certainly  added  more  than  a  few  twists  and  turns  of  his  own  â€”  â€œThe  Light  in  the  Ruinsâ€?  takes  the  â€œdoomedâ€?  part  of  the  equation  and Â

The  author  is  sympathetic  to  his  FKDUDFWHUV HYHQ DOO RI WKHLU Ă€DZV ² HYHQ ZKHQ WKHLU Ă€DZV DUH PRUDOO\ reprehensible,  or  downright  evil. “When  I  begin  my  books  all  I  have  is  a  voice,â€?  he  said.  â€œAs  I’m  writing  a  book,  little  by  little  I  understand  who  WKH\ DUH DQG EHJLQ WR DGG Ă€HVK DQG bones  to  them.â€? It  is  those  characters  and  their  moti-­ vations  that  holds  the  reader  in  a  jour-­ ney  through  the  rich  landscapes  and  leap-­frogging  in  time  that  â€œThe  Light  in  the  Ruinsâ€?  depicts. For  all  that  a  major  plotline  centers  of  a  detective  story,  Bohjalian,  for  his  part,  does  not  think  of  his  most  recent  novel  as  a  murder  mystery.  He  loves  the  way  one  reviewer  characterized  it  â€”  not  as  a  â€œwhodunitâ€?  but  as  a  â€œwhydunit.â€?

LINCOLN  AUTHOR  CHRIS  Bohjalian,  shown  outside  the  Bristol  Bakery,  has  lived  in  Addison  County  for  nearly  25  years.  His  newest  novel,  â€œThe  Light  in  the  Ruins,â€?  is  out  next  week.

 â€œThen  he  got  his  ticket  and  turned  the  meter  on,  and  proceeded  to  take  my  wife  and  me  on  a  45-­minute  joy-­ ride  ignoring  all  stoplights  and  stop  signs  and  screaming  obscenities  at  XV :KHQ KH ÂżQDOO\ FDPH WR D VWRS my  wife  and  I  bolted  out  of  the  cab.â€?

The  very  next  day,  he  said,  The  New  York  Times  Travel  Section  had  an  article  on  Burlington,  Vt.  Bohjalian  and  Blewer  visited  Ver-­ mont,  fell  in  love  with  the  state,  and  bought  a  house  in  Lincoln. After  coming  here,  Bohjalian  initially  worked  at  an  ad  agency  in  Burlington,  but  soon  phased  into  being  a  full-­time  novelist,  also  writ-­ ing  columns  for  the  Burlington  Free  Press. He  has  been  honing  his  craft  from  his  home  in  Lincoln,  where  he  and  Blewer  have  now  lived  for  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century.

On  Monday,  McMahon  held  out  some  hope  for  at  least  a  couple  nice  days  ahead.  â€œIt  looks  like  we  will  at  least  get  a  break  this  coming  weekend,â€?  Mc-­ Mahon  said.  â€œ(The  high  pressure)  should  move  a  little  to  the  north-­ west  and  give  us  a  break  â€Ś  but  then Â

it’s  going  to  sag  south,  and  unfor-­ tunately  there  is  a  chance  of  more  showers  and  thunderstorms  toward  the  beginning  of  next  week.â€? And,  she  said,  no  weather  pattern  lasts  forever,  even  if  it  takes  a  while  for  a  new  pattern  to  arrive.  â€œEventually,  there  will  be  a  re-­ gime  change,  or  a  change  in  where  this  high  pressure  is,  but  it  is  a  real  slow  process,â€?  McMahon  said.  â€œIt  does  look  like  it  will  change  even-­ tually.â€?

They  also  noted  that  Bristol  was  a  particularly  good  site  for  the  devel-­ opment  of  a  co-­housing  community  because  of  the  town’s  walkability  and  variety  of  shops,  exercise  spots  and  restaurants.

into  a  four-­unit  apartment  house.  Small-­frame  buildings  would  be  erected  in  the  space  behind  the  To-­ masi  House  to  accommodate  up  to  six  other  single-­family  units,  and  another  duplex  would  be  construct-­ ed  in  a  barn  that  is  currently  unin-­ habitable. Kamens  said  the  view  from  North  Street  would  not  change. “That  streetscape  has  been  there  for  150  years,â€?  she  said,  noting  that  although  the  back  of  the  To-­ masi  House  was  unsalvageable  and  would  be  torn  down,  the  renova-­ tions  would  be  done  so  that  the  front  of  the  building  remained  intact.

Town  Administrator  Bill  Bryant  noted  that  discussion  was  in  the  ear-­ ly  phases  and  that  the  town’s  prior-­ ity  was  to  enhance  discussion  to  the  best  of  its  ability.  Bryant  said  that  Kamens  and  Mendell  appear  to  be  operating  within  the  town’s  zoning  rules  when  it  came  to  setbacks  and  dwelling  units. “They  seem  to  be  working  very  hard  to  work  within  existing  stan-­ dards,â€?  Bryant  said.

also  be  able  to  put  some  of  Vermont  Gas’  marketing  assertions  to  the  test  â€”  such  as  its  claim  that  natural  gas  is  currently  more  than  40  percent  cheaper  than  fuel  oil. “Looking  at  alternatives  can’t  be  a  bad  thing,â€?  agreed  Rep.  Dave  Sharpe,  D-­Bristol,  who  also  supports  the  letter. Sharpe  is  particularly  intrigued  about  what  the  study  might  reveal  DERXW WKH WUDQVSRUWDWLRQ RI OLTXHÂżHG natural  gas.  He  said  the  proposed  pipeline  projects  would  only  serve  the  most  densely  clustered  neigh-­ borhoods.  Sharpe  wants  to  see  if  the  DYDLODELOLW\ RI OLTXHÂżHG QDWXUDO JDV could  be  a  money  saver  for  rural  resi-­ dents  and  businesses. Sharpe,  a  veteran  member  of  the  House  Ways  and  Means  Commit-­ tee,  is  also  exploring  a  new  way  of  taxing  natural  gas.  He  noted  that  communities  that  host  natural  gas  in-­ frastructure  receive  property  tax  rev-­ enues  that  gradually  decline  as  the  infrastructure  depreciates.  Sharpe  is  weighing  a  switch  whereby  Vermont  Gas  would  be  taxed  based  on  units  of   natural  gas  it  dispenses.  This,  he  said,  is  how  nuclear  power,  solar  and  wind  projects  are  taxed. INFORMATION  GATHERING Sen.  Chris  Bray,  D-­New  Haven,  also  sees  the  study  as  an  information-­ gathering  tool.  And  this  is  informa-­ tion  that  many  communities  within  the  pipelines’  paths  don’t  have  the  time  or  resources  to  obtain  on  their  own,  according  to  Bray. “We’re  talking  about  a  $112  mil-­ lion  investment,â€?  Bray  said  of  the  combined  costs  of  phases  one  and  two.  â€œIs  this  a  wise  investment  for  Addison  County  and  Vermont  to  make?â€? Recchia  on  Monday  acknowl-­ edged  receiving  the  letter.  He  said  he  and  his  department  will  weigh  the  request,  but  noted  his  department  PXVW IXOÂżOO YDULRXV DVSHFWV RI WKH proposed  study  anyway  as  part  of  the  PSD’s  role  in  representing  Vermont-­ ers  during  the  Public  Service  Board’s  review  of  the  Vermont  Gas  applica-­ tion. “I’m  not  sure  right  now  what  (as-­ pects  of  the  request)  can  be  done  in-­ dependent  of  the  docket,  as  part  of  the  docket  or  as  evidence  in  the  case  itself,â€?   Recchia  said.  â€œWe’ll  discuss  the  letter  here  and  let  (the  signers)  know  what  we  think  we  can  do.â€? Meanwhile,  Vermont  Gas  spokes-­ man  Steve  Wark  said  the  company  LV FRQÂżGHQW D VWXG\ ZRXOG FRQÂżUP natural  gas  to  be  cleaner  and  more  cost-­effective  than  fuel  oil.  He  said  the  company  had  recently  com-­ missioned  an  independent  analysis  of  the  Addison  Natural  Gas  Proj-­ ect  that  shows  â€œthe  41-­mile  project  ZLOO VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ UHGXFH JUHHQKRXVH emissions  if  customers  switch  from  heating  oil  to  gas.â€?  That  study,  per-­ IRUPHG E\ HQHUJ\ FRQVXOWLQJ ÂżUP ICF  International,  indicated  that  the  life-­cycle  greenhouse  gas  emissions  of  carbon  dioxide  and  methane  from  natural  gas  are  23  percent  lower  than  fuel  oil  on  an  end-­use  basis,  accord-­ ing  to  Wark. “The  Public  Service  Board  will  conduct  an  independent  and  objec-­ tive  analysis  based  on  facts  from  the  participants  in  their  evidentiary  pro-­ cess,â€?  Wark  said.  â€œWe  have  no  doubt  natural  gas  will  continue  to  be  shown  as  cleaner  and  more  affordable  than  the  alternatives.â€? :DUN DGGHG WKH XVH RI OLTXHÂżHG natural  gas  would  require  construc-­ tion  of  an  LNG  plant  in  Middlebury.  That  plant,  he  said,  would  require  a  large  tank  supplied  with  natural  gas  trucked  in  on  a  regular  basis. “Such  a  system  would  not  serve  homes  and  businesses  outside  the  in-­ dustrial  area,â€?  Wark  contended. Editor’s  note:  Because  of  a  holi-­ day  early  deadline,  this  edition  of  the  Independent  could  not  include  coverage  of  a  Tuesday  evening  meet-­ ing  in  Shoreham  where  the  pipeline  proposals  were  due  to  be  discussed.  Look  for  a  story  in  Monday’s  edition.
