By  XIAN  CHIANG-­WAREN MIDDLEBURY  —  The  Town  Hall  Theater’s  “Young  Companyâ€?  is  back  for  its  third  season  and  for  the  ¿UVW WLPH HYHU LV FDSSLQJ LWV WKUHH week  acting  and  ensemble-­building  camp  with  not  one,  but  two  plays  of  a  very  different  nature.  The  group  on  Monday,  Aug.  19,  will  stage  “Alad-­ din,â€?  a  Disney  musical,  and  Jean Â

Anouilh’s  adaptation  of  “Antigone,�  a  classical  Greek  drama  whose  epon-­ ymous  heroine  is  the  incestuous  love-­ child  of  Oedipus  and  his  mother.

THT  Education  Director  Lindsay  Pontius  decided  to  lead  the  young  ac-­ tors  company  “in  repertory�  as  a  way  to  challenge  them  to  delve  into  mul-­ tiple  texts  and  to  promote  both  arms  of  the  Town  Hall  Theater’s  program-­

ming:  musicals  and  the  classics. “I  want  to  challenge  them  and  I  think  they’re  ready  for  it,â€?  Pontius  said.  “They  know  they  love  musicals  because  that’s  what  they  do  in  high  school.  They  look  forward  to  those,  they  have  to  work  on  it  and  hone  those  skills,  because  they’re  going  to  have  to  use  them  there  over  the  years.  I  feel  that  part  of  our  job  at  Town Â

Hall  Theater  is  to  work  with  music  and  work  with  dance,  but  I  also  come  from  a  classical  background.  And  I  feel  that  it’s  important  to  continue  to  train  in  the  classical  theater  as  well.�

The  Young  Company  is  open  to  all  ages  and  this  year  has  around  two  dozen  youths,  most  in  their  teens. “We’re  doing  really,  really  tricky  (See  THT,  Page  28)

Loon  dance THIS  LOON  ON  Lake  Dunmore  was  captured  by  Leicester  resident  Mike  Korkuc  in  what  could  be  fancied  as  a  dance  of  the  loons,  though  it’s  probably  little  more  than  this  adult  stretching  his  wings.  Korkuc  is  well-­known  around  the  lake  for  his  frequent  photos  of  the  loons  and  other  area  wildlife.

Sudents carve rail-inspired stone bench, offer it to Middlebury By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  The  town  of  Middlebury  during  the  19th  and  ear-­ ly  20th  centuries  was  known  for  its  marble  and  the  ability  to  export  it  via  an  active  rail  system.

The  Carving  Studio  &  Sculpture  Center  of  West  Rutland  has  offered  the  town  an  elaborately  carved  stone  bench,  featuring  a  rail  motif.  Made  out  of  limestone,  the  bench  was  carved  by  eight  Vermont  youths  un-­ der  the  direction  of  master  carver  Nora  Valdez. “I  think  it’s  gorgeous,�  Carol  Driscoll  said  of  the  bench.

Driscoll  is  executive  director  of  the  Carving  Studio  &  Sculpture  Cen-­ WHU D QRQSURÂżW DUW HGXFDWLRQ YHQXH dedicated  to  “sculptural  explora-­ tion.â€?  Situated  in  West  Rutland  —  at  the  epicenter  of  Vermont’s  once  thriving  marble  industry  —  the  carv-­ ing  studio  offers  a  variety  of  pro-­ grams,  including  what  it  calls  “The  Stone  Bench  Project.â€?

The  Stone  Bench  Project  grew  out  of  an  exchange  program  between  the  Carving  Studio  and  young  artists  in  Peru.  The  organization  began  send-­ ing  instructors  to  Ayacucho,  Peru,  in  2005  for  the  purpose  of  teaching  carving  skills  to  help  teens  reclaim  their  own  cultural  heritage.  During  January  of  2009,  Valdez  led  a  group  of  advanced  students  there  as  they  created  monumental  sculptures  and  benches  for  their  local  park.

Since  the  studio  had  recently  produced  a  bench  for  Middlebury  College  to  commemorate  the  Dalai  Lama’s  visit  to  the  campus  last  year,  Driscoll  knew  something  about  the  Middlebury  community  and  its  rich  history  in  stone  working.  She  asked  Middlebury  Town  Manager  Kathleen  Ramsay  if  the  community  might  be  interested  in  the  newly  cre-­ ated  limestone  bench. “(Middlebury)  was  a  great  link  to Â

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  tough  ruling  against  the  banks,  and  a  stern  criticism  of  the  Federal  Reserve  board.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  not  putting  a  man  on  the  moon  here,â&#x20AC;?  the  judge  told  the  Fed,  giving  that  institution  one  week  to  decide  how  PXFK WLPH LW QHHGV WR UHZULWH WKH UXOH VR WKDW LW PRUH IDLUO\ UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWV WKH GLFWDWHV RI WKH 'RGG )UDQN ÂżQDQFLDO ODZ WKDW WKH Journal  wrote,  ³UHTXLUHG WKH )HG WR OLPLW ÂľLQWHUFKDQJH IHHVÂś WR HQVXUH WKH\ UHĂ&#x20AC;HFW WKH actual  cost  of  processing  debit-­card  transactions.â&#x20AC;?

It  appears  the  Fed  had  initially  set  a  cap  of  12  cents  per  transaction,  but  later  upped  it  to  21  cents  with  a  few  allowances  for  a  few  pennies  more.  Before  the  2010  law,  banks  had  routinely  been  charging  an  aver-­ age  of  44  cents  per  transaction,  according  the  Journalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  report.

Judge  Leon  is  now  suggesting  the  Fed  lower  the  rates  and  that  law-­ yers  may  need  to  determine  how  much  to  reimburse  merchants  who  have  been  overcharged.  Card  issuers  made  $15.4  billion  from  the  debit-­ FDUG IHHV LQ 7KH EDQNV DQG FUHGLW FDUG ÂżUPV ZKR LVVXH WKH FDUGV say  they  need  the  revenue  to  pay  for  the  processing  expenses,  but  mer-­ chants  counter  that  the  fees  are  well  above  the  banks  cost.  Judge  Leon  apparently  agrees.  We  note  this  here  because  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  lesson  to  all  Vermonters  and  Ameri-­ cans  that  a  close  watch  must  be  maintained  to  assure  that  corporate  favortism  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  skewed  to  one  particular  industry  at  the  expense  of  the  public  good.  What  the  Dodd-­Frank  legislation  tried  to  correct  in  2010  was  the  overt  advantages  that  laws  passed  since  1998  and  throughout  WKH %XVK DGPLQLVWUDWLRQ JDYH WR WKH ÂżQDQFLDO LQGXVWU\ DQG WKDW FRQ-­ tributed  to  the  Great  Recession.  On  the  heels  of  that  near  catastrophe  one  might  think  Congress  would  be  on  its  best  behavior  to  assure  the  ¿QDQFLDO LQGXVWU\ ZDV KHOG LQ FKHFN EXW FOHDUO\ WKDW LV QRW WKH FDVH ,W LV also  discouraging  to  know  that  the  Federal  Reserve  is  not  up  to  the  task  of  riding  herd  on  its  own  kin.  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Sen.  Bernie  Sanders  continues  to  be  one  of  the  few  who  rails  against  such  injustices,  but  he  needs  the  publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  continued  support  on  these  issues  if  his  voice  is  resonate.  Thankfully,  Judge  Leon  stepped  in  this  past  week  to  add  the  courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  voice  on  the  issue  and  send  another  VKRW DFURVV WKH ERZ RI WKRVH LQ WKH ÂżQDQFH LQGXVWU\ ZKR RYHUUHDFK DW the  publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  expense.

The  heavy  rains  of  recent  years  have  made  basements  damp  and  moldy  and  raised  concerns  about  how  to  maintain  healthy  air  quality  in  our  homes.

Weatherization  can  make  homes  drier,  healthier,  and  more  resistant  to  pests  if  we  follow  in  correct Â

order  the  recommendations  pre-­ sented  in  energy  audit  reports.  Pro-­ fessionally  trained  energy  auditors  advise  us  to  tackle  moisture  issues  ¿UVW EHIRUH DGGLQJ LQVXODWLRQ DQG sealing  air  leaks.  You  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  button  up  your  home  only  to  have  moisture  trapped  inside,  causing Â

condensation  on  windows,  wet  stains  on  walls  and  ceilings,  rotting  wood  and  mustiness.

While  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  tempting  to  bypass  more  expensive  drainage  work  and  sealing  of  foundations,  the  rewards  of  a  healthier,  drier  home  are  worth  (See  Letter,  Page  5)

Letters to the editor ,QĂ&#x20AC;X[ RI VQDNHV D SUREOHP IRU IURJV I  have  been  an  observer  of  Mother  Nature  and  her  plants  and  creatures  more  than  60-­plus  years  now.  For  example,  I  have  never  seen  the  leaves  so  thick  and  heavy  on  the  trees,  bending  limbs,  some  breaking,  plus  the  undergrowth  so  thick.  Thus,  our  mosquito  problem.  Sun  does  not  dry  up  the  recesses,  pockets  and  pools  as  it  no  longer  reaches  them.

So  wildlife  like  rabbits,  grouse,  even  woodcocks  and  ducks  nest  on  higher  ground,  and  so  do  our  snakes.  Especially  rattlesnakes,  which  our  Fish  and  Game  is  now  using  hunting  money  to  overload  our  woods  with.

The  rattlesnake  loves  eggs  and  baby  grouse,  woodcock,  ducks  and  rabbits.  So,  or  course,  do  larger  snakes  of  all  kinds.  I  have  seen  the  spotted  adder  climb  trees  and  eat  baby  birds,  plus  loads  of  small  bullfrogs  and  toads.  The  garter  snake  is  murder  on  toads  and  frogs.  My  beagle  dog  was  barking  so  I  investi-­ gated.  A  very  large  garter  snake  had  my  pet  toad  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  very  large  one   that  lived  in  my  garden  by  the  back  legs.

I  shot  the  snake  and  free  the  toad.  His/her  legs  were  melted,  thus  the  crippled  frogs  people  now  see.  They  are  too  large  for  a  snake  to  eat  so  they  get  the  legs  dissolved.  Then  the  snake  leaves  them  to  suffer  until  starvation  takes  them.  They  can,  I  have  been  told,  grow  new  limbs  if  they  can  survive  that  long.  That  would  be  nice  but  do  not  think  it  happens  much.

Where  I  built  my  home  a  brook  runs  through  it.  It  was  loaded  with  small  bullfrogs.  A  lot  of  them  used  to  live  in  my  garden  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  one-­half  pounders.  In  time  I  was  invaded  with  spotted  adders  and  garter  snakes.  They  became  really  large  and  in  time,  no  more  frogs  in  garden  or  brook.  Same  with  the  good  popu-­ lation  of  toads  around  my  house  that  keep  the  carpenter  ants  in  check,  plus  the  many  pest  bugs  that  now  eat  my  vegetable  and  berry  plants.

Wish  someone  would  bring  me  some  of  this  new  snake  disease.  Arnold  C.  Gale Salisbury

Dancer explores human-animal bond Patty  Smith  brings  solo  work  to  THT MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Dancer  Patty  Smith  continues  her  exploration  of  dominion  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  of  one  species  over  another,  of  one  race  over  another,  of  one  gender  over  another  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  in  a  solo  performance  titled  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animal  Dancesâ&#x20AC;?  on  Friday,  Aug.  23,  at  8  p.m.  at  Mid-­ dleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Town  Hall  Theater.  /LNH WKH ÂżUVW SDLQWLQJV RQ WKH walls  of  caves,  animal  dances  were  WKH ÂżUVW GDQFHV FRPSRVHG DQG ULWX-­ ally  performed  by  earliest  man.  Ani-­ mals  were  of  paramount  importance,  providing  people  with  food  from  WKHLU Ă&#x20AC;HVK FORWKLQJ DQG VKHOWHU IURP their  hides,  tools  and  weapons  from  their  bones  and  sinew.  The  dances  were  traditionally  performed  be-­ fore  a  hunt  and  designed  to  appeal,  through  reverential  mimicry,  to  the  all  powerful  and  mysterious  spirit  of  animism  (anima:  air,  soul).

Interestingly,  once  animals  were  domesticated  (dominus:  lord,  mas-­ ter),  animal  dances  ceased  to  be  cre-­ ated  and  performed.  But  the  dances  that  Smith  presents  are  animal  danc-­ es  for  today;͞  reverential  in  nature,  they  speak  to  a  world  that  is  a  tes-­ tament  to  the  overwhelming  success  of  the  human  species  and  where  the  only  nature  is  human  nature.

Like  much  of  Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  work,  these  dances  can  be  taken  lightly  or  darkly,  depending  on  the  preferences  of  the  viewer.   Beauty  is  in  the  eye  of  the  beholder.  But  as  such,  they  are  of  equal  appeal  to  adults  and  children  alike  (there  is  masquerade  and  pup-­ petry)  and  should  spark  some  inter-­ esting  discussions.

Smith  received  her  early  and  clas-­ sic  training  in  Boston  where  she  was  a  protĂŠgĂŠe  of  Jan  Veen,  the  founder  of  The  Boston  Conservatory  of  Mu-­ sicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Dance  Department  and  himself  a  disciple  of  the  great  German  mod-­ ern  dancer  Mary  Wigman.  (Since  dance  is  passed  on  from  one  body  to  the  next,  Smith  says,  pedigree  is Â

Your pet VERMONT  DAUGHTERS  OF  the  American  Revolution  and  others  gather  on  the  steps  of  the  newly  rebuilt  portico  of  the  DAR  John  Strong  Mansion  in  Addison.  The  museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  curator  on  Saturday,  Aug.  24,  will  talk  about  the  history  of  the  mansion  and  the  portico  in  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  Front  Porch  Welcomeâ&#x20AC;?  at  11  a.m.  and  2  p.m.,  followed  each  time  by  an  open  house.

John  Strong  Mansion  celebrates  portico  rehab ADDISON  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Lynn  Forney  Young,  the  President  General  of  the  National  Society  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution,  visited  the  DAR  John  Strong  Mansion  Museum  in  Addison  recently.  The  museum  was  celebrating  the  successful  completion  of  a  project  to  repair  and  preserve  its  historic  front  portico.  Funding  for  the  proj-­ ect  was  made  possible  through  the  sponsorship  of  the  Vermont  State  Society  and  the  National  Society  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution.  The  National  Society  DAR  Special  Projects  Grants  program  provides  grant  funding  to  support  local  community  projects,  which  exemplify  the  three  mission  areas  of  DAR:  historic  preserva-­ tion,  education  and  patriotism.

Over  50  Vermont  Daughters  attended  the  daylong  event  at  the  mansion,  organized  by  Liz  Bicknell,  Vermont  DAR  state  regent.  Also  in  attendance  were  Tom  Keefe,  the  architect  who  supervised  the  porch  repair  project,  and  Lt.  Col.  Herman  Charles  Brown,  representing  the  Vermont  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution.

On  Saturday,  Aug.  24,  the  museum  will  be  offering  an  educa-­ tional  program  titled,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  Front  Porch  Welcome.â&#x20AC;?  There  will  be  presentations  by  the  museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  curator  at  11  a.m.  and  2  p.m.  featur-­ ing  the  historic  porch  and  how  it  tells  the  story  of  the  mansion  and  its Â

occupants.  The  program  will  be  free  to  the  public,  and  an  open  house  will  follow  each  presentation.  The  museum  is  located  on  Vermont  Route  17  in  Addison,  one  mile  north  of  the  Lake  Champlain  Bridge  and  adjacent  to  the  DAR  State  Park.  It  is  open  for  guided  tours  on  weekends  from  Memorial  Day  to  Labor  Day.  There  is  normally  a  small  admis-­ sion  fee.  For  further  information  call  759-­2309  or  visit  the  website  at  johnstrongmansion.org.

THT  (Continued  from  Page  1) plays,â&#x20AC;?  Pontius  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  idea  was  to  just  provide  a  boot  camp  of  challenge  and  see  them  rise  to  it  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  they  are.â&#x20AC;?

The  company-­building  process  has  been  the  bulk  of  the  theater  campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fo-­ cus  this  summer.  In  the  early  days  of  camp,  the  young  actors  participated  in  a  lot  of  group  exercises,  including  improvisation  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;trust  fallsâ&#x20AC;?  (where  an  actor  closes  his  or  her  eyes  and  falls  back  into  the  waiting  arms  of  their  col-­ leagues). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  get  really  close,  more  and  more  throughout  the  weeks,â&#x20AC;?  said   cast  member  Ethan  Allred.

As  the  short  camp  moved  further  into  the  rehearsal  process,  the  compa-­ nyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  directors  encouraged  their  young  charges  to  bring  emotional  honesty  and  creativity  to  their  roles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During  the  beginning  of  the  pro-­ cess,  especially  for  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Antigone,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  we  talked  a  lot  about  the  characters  and  what  was  going  on  with  them  and  what  they  were  getting  at,â&#x20AC;?  said  Gi-­ anna  Kiehl  of  Charlotte.  She  described  a  development  process  that  is  used  by  professional  actors  but  occasionally  forsaken  at  the  community  theater  lev-­ el,  where  learning  lines  and  cues  often  can  take  the  bulk  of  the  director  and  actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  focus.

Kiehl,  who  plays  Antigone  and  mi-­ nor  characters  in  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aladdin,â&#x20AC;?  had  been Â

doing  theater  camps  and  classes  since  she  was  a  child.  During  the  past  sever-­ al  years  she  has  moved  to  community  theater.  She  said  she  was  impressed  by  the  intensity  of  the  Young  Company  experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  focusing  so  much  on  build-­ ing  a  company,â&#x20AC;?  Kiehl  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Build-­ ing  off  each  other  and  listening  to  each  other  and  learning  from  each  other,  which  is  really  different,  but  I  think  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  perfect  for  this  age  group  to  do.  I  always  think  that  the  immersive  experience  seems  to  also  have  had  a  positive  impact  on  the  actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  ability  WR Ă&#x20AC;HVK RXW WKH SURGXFWLRQV IXOO\ â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  feel  like  I  trust  everyone  here  a  lot,  and  it  makes  the  kind  of  stum-­ bling  through  dance  numbers  (in  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aladdinâ&#x20AC;?)  a  lot  of  fun,â&#x20AC;?  Kiehl  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  in  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Antigone,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  crucial  that  you  trust  everyone  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  working  with  in  these  really  dark  scenes.â&#x20AC;?

Pontius  hopes  to  reunite  many  of  the  Young  Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  members  through-­ out  the  year,  in  various  productions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  will  continue  to  build,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.
