J&M  Aviation  signs  deal  with  glider  company By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Those  living  near  the  Middlebury  State  Airport  have  grown  ac- customed  to  the  occasional  buzz  of  small  planes  taking  off  and  landing  at  the  2,500- foot  runway  off  Airport  Road. Neighbors  will  soon  notice  some  silent  landings,  and  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  not  talking  about  air- craft  with  engine  trouble. Mike  Vincent,  owner  of  J&M  Aviation,  KDV FRQÂżUPHG WKDW KLV FRPSDQ\ KDV VLJQHG D deal  to  become  the  Northeast  service  hub  for  Stemme  motor  gliders.  Stemme  is  company  based  in  Germany.  Its  aircraft  are  endowed  with  engines  that  allow  them  to  take  off  and  get  to  a  desired  cruising  altitude  and  then  al- low  the  pilot  to  shut  off  power  and  glide  all  the  way  to  a  landing.  Unlike  conventional  gliders,  Stemmes  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  a  tow  plane  to  get  airborne. Vincent  said  there  are  thus  far  around  10  Stemme  motor-Âglider  owners  in  the  New  England  region.  Those  clients  must  now  get  maintenance  or  repair  work  done  at  Stemme  service  centers  in  Colorado,  Arizona,  Flori- da,  South  Carolina  and  Texas.  Stemme  had  been  lacking  a  service  center  in  the  North- HDVW EXW - 0 ZLOO QRZ ÂżW WKDW ELOO Âł7KLV QHZ VHWXS ZLOO EHQHÂżW RXU FRPSDQ\
here  and  their  company,â&#x20AC;?  Vincent  said  of  J&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  association  with  Stemme. Vincent  noted  that  Stemme  had  consid- ered  building  its  own  facility  at  the  Middle- bury  Airport,  complete  with  a  service  shop  and  showroom.  But  the  company  ultimately  decided  to  simply  contract  with  J&M  to  pro- vide  repairs  and  maintenance  for  Stemme  aircraft  owners. Stemme  will  soon  provide  training  to  Vin- cent  and  other  J&M  staff  on  how  to  service  the  specialized  aircraft.  Vincent  expects  to  receive  visits  from  Stemme  owners  from  as  far  south  as  Maryland.  The  closest  ser- vice  center  for  folks  in  this  area  had  been  in  Florida. While  the  new  contract  is  not  expected  to  immediately  require  J&M  to  hire  new  work- ers,  Vincent  believes  it  could  be  a  precursor  to  expansion.  Around  70  percent  of  J&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  business  currently  comes  from  out  of  state,  according  to  Vincent.  In  some  cases,  these  DUH FOLHQWV ZKR DUH ÂżQGLQJ - 0ÂśV SULFHV cheaper  than  service  centers  in  major  cities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  seems  to  be  a  pickup  in  aviation  right  now,â&#x20AC;?  Vincent  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  economy  GHÂżQLWHO\ DIIHFWV DYLDWLRQ ´ Jamie  Gaucher,  director  of  the  Middle- EXU\ 2IÂżFH RI %XVLQHVV 'HYHORSPHQW DQG

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  have  done  appraisals  and  are  prepar- ing  to  make  offers  based  on  those  apprais- als,â&#x20AC;?  Fortney  said.

Business  (Continued  from  Page  1) ence  from  winter.â&#x20AC;?  Marie  Hayyat,  co-Âowner  and  man- ager  of  Samaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  CafĂŠ,  has  noticed  that  Middlebury  College  summer  stu- dents  tend  to  eat  later  than  other  din- ers  throughout  the  winter.  The  store  and  restaurant  also  tends  to  be  busier  in  the  morning.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  keeps  it  exciting,â&#x20AC;?  Hayyat  said  with  a  grin.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  change.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SUMMERTIME  IS  MY  TIMEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; For  many  Middlebury  businesses,  summer  means  increased  business.  Restaurants,  delis  and  shops  all  see  fresh  faces  each  summer  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  but  how  PXFK GRHV WKH LQĂ&#x20AC;X[ RI VXPPHU visitors  really  change  life  around  Middlebury? A  lot,  seems  to  be  the  consensus.  Some  businesses  report  twice  the  WUDIÂżF LQ VWRUHV VRPH HYHQ WKUHH times  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  while  they  vary,  it  seems  most  Middlebury  businesses  agree  that  with  the  warmer  months  come  throngs  of  visitors.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  starts  the  week  after  graduation  at  the  college,  and  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  busy  until  fallâ&#x20AC;?  when  tourists  thin  out  after  the  leaves  fall,  he  explained.  To  handle  WKH LQĂ&#x20AC;X[ RI WUDIÂżF LQ WKH EDNHU\ Sweet  says  the  business  takes  on  more  part-Âtime  employees  for  the  summer. John  Melanson,  owner  of  Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Hungry  Mind  CafĂŠ,  noted  that  July  4th  is  often  the  turning  point  for  summer  tourists.  In  the  earlier  years  of  his  business,  Melanson  would  often  go  into  debt  over  the  winter  and  then  pay  it  off  through  the  sum- mer  boom.  Now,  thanks  to  a  steady  stream  of  students  at  Middlebury  College  during  the  winter,  and  an  ever-Âincreasing  boom  in  tourists  over  the  summer,  he  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  worry  so  much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer  time  is  my  time,â&#x20AC;?  Melanson  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  almost  like  a  switch  goes  off  on  July  4th.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  seen  them  coming  up  until  the  third  week  of  June  but  once  July  4th  comes  in,  we  get  a  lot  of  tourists.â&#x20AC;?

Among  the  contributors:  The  town  of  Weybridge,  which  has  agreed  to  earmark  $40,000  from  its  conserva- tion  fund  toward  the  land  purchase,  according  to  Robinson.
THE  MIDDLEBURY  AREA  Land  Trust  is  trying  to  raise  $490,000  to  acquire  and  conserve  a  101-Âacre  parcel,  part  of  which  is  seen  here,  off  Route  23  in  Weybridge. Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell
With  the  majority  of  the  funds  in  hand,  MALT  is  now  reaching  out  to  other  folks  who  might  be  interested  in  making  a  donation  to  seal  the  deal  with  Middlebury  College  by  early  this  fall.  Plans  call  for  MALT  to  purchase  the  property  and  then  acquire  a  conservation  easement  that  would  be  held  by  the  Vermont  /DQG 7UXVW 9/7 8OWLPDWHO\ WKH VLT  would  transfer  the  easement  to  Weybridge-Âbased  Monument  Farms  Dairy,  which  would  use  a  portion  of  the  property  for  agriculture,  accord- ing  to  Robinson. The  land  will  not  be  posted  and  it  will  be  accessible  for  hiking  and  other  passive  recreation,  Robinson  said. Story  Jenks,  chairman  of  the  MALT  board,  is  pleased  to  see  peo- ple  rally  behind  conservation  of  the  Tormondsen  property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  will  preserve  that  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rural  feelingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  as  people  are  going  in  or  going  out  of  Middlebury,â&#x20AC;?  Jenks  said,  adding  the Â
extent  of  the  contributions  thus  far  is  â&#x20AC;&#x153;a  testament  to..  the  desire  to  protect  this  property.  Everyone  agrees.â&#x20AC;? Peter  James,  co-Âowner  of  the  Monument  Farms  Dairy,  said  the  farm  will  crop  around  10  acres  of  the  property,  which  he  noted  was  active- ly  farmed  many  years  ago.  He  added  that  a  good  portion  of  the  property  is  too  wet  to  use  for  agricultural  pur- poses.
James  is  excited  about  the  poten- tial  of  the  property  as  an  open  re- source  for  the  greater  community.  And  he  noted  the  prospect  of  grow- ing  some  clover  and  other  forage  that  could  help  stimulate  the  local  honeybee  population,  which  has  been  plummeting  worldwide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  feel  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  good  thing  for  the  town  and  a  good  thing  for  us,â&#x20AC;?  James  said  of  the  conservation  deal. Â
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  gives  us  a  little  bit  of  additional  DFUHDJH DQG LW NHHSV WKH ODQG RSHQ for  recreation.  It  is  also  the  entrance  to  Weybridge.â&#x20AC;? The  joint  effort  to  conserve  the  property  has  been  inspiring,  accord- ing  to  Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming  together  to  raise  this  money  has  been  amazing,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

Two  Mount  Abraham  students  gave  those  in  attendance  a  tour  of  the  school,  and  pointed  out  things  they  believed  could  be  improved.  A  common  complaint  was  the  lack  of  natural  light  in  the  building.  Many  classrooms  have  no  windows,  and  the  ends  of  some  corridors,  where  a  row  of  windows  used  to  exist,  have  EHHQ FRQYHUWHG LQWR RIÂżFHV 6RPH classrooms  also  do  not  have  hallway  access,  meaning  students  have  to  walk  through  one  classroom  to  get  to  another,  which  may  disrupt  other  classes. Other  concerns  include  a  lack  of  places  for  students  to  go  during  study  hall,  nonexistent  drainage  sys- tems  for  emergency  showers  in  sci- ence  classrooms,  poorly-Âfunctioning  fume  hoods  for  chemistry  experi- ments,  lockers  that  are  too  small  for  current  studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  needs,  and  a  lack  of  gym  space  for  the  plethora  of  Mount  Abraham  middle  and  high  school  sports  teams.

Green herons are birds that use bait
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  always  entranced  watch- ing  the  hunting  behavior  of  long- legged  wading  birds  like  great  blue  herons  and  snowy  egrets.  They  stand  motionless  for  long  minutes  at  the  edge  of  a  pond  or  swamp,  waiting  for  prey  to  swim  within  striking  distance.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  technique  sometimes  described  as  stalking,  and  it  convinces  me  that  those  birds  have  far  more  patience  than  I  do.  I  would  go  hungry  if  I  were  restricted  to  that  strategy,  since  I  get  antsy  after  just  a  few  seconds  of  standing  motion- less.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  much  more  like  the  reddish  egret  of  the  Florida  coastline,  running  around  in  knee-Âdeep  water  with  wings  outstretched,  chasing  my  meal  rather  than  waiting  for  it  to  come  to  me. Green  herons  have  a  hunt- ing  technique  that  involves  neither  pure  stalking,  nor  the  kinetic  approach  of  the  reddish  egret.  They  are  one  of  only  a  handful  of  North  American  bird  species  that  are  known  to  use  tools  to  capture  food.  The  smallest  of  the  common  herons  in  the  Northeast,  green  herons  live  around  wooded  lakes,  ponds,  marshes  and  estuaries.  Standing  up  to  eighteen  inches  tall,  they  display  a  maroon  neck  and  breast,  a  deep  green  back,  a  dark  cap  that  is  some- times  raised  in  a  crest,  and  bright  yellow  legs.  Unlike  their  larger,  long- necked  cousins,  green  herons  usually  hold  their  necks  tight  up  against  their  bodies,  giving  them  a  stocky,  hunched  appearance. Instead  of  getting  its  feet  wet,  the  green  heron  typically  perches  on  emergent  vegetation  or  low-Âhanging  branches  at  the  waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  edge,  and  will  use  objects  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  twigs,  feathers,  crusts  RI EUHDG Âą WR OXUH ÂżVK ZLWKLQ UHDFK :KHQ VPDOO ÂżVK FRPH WR LQYHVWLJDWH the  object,  the  bird  will  strike,  rapidly  extending  its  neck  and  dagger-Âlike  beak.  The  victim  is  usually  swal- lowed  whole.  The  only  time  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  observed  this  behavior,  the  heron  repeatedly  dropped  a  small  dried  leaf  onto  the  surface  of  the  water,  occasionally  relocating  it  to  a  preferred  location  as  the  leaf  began  to  drift  away  or  sink.  The  strategy  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  work  while  I  was  watching,  but  the  heron  appeared  to  be  a  well-Âfed  bird.  I  suspect  a Â

Middlebury  Regional  EMS  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  once  known  as  the  Middlebury  Volunteer  Ambulance  Association  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  began  requesting  Town  Meeting  Day  contributions  in  1998.  The  or- ganization  used  those  funds  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  an  average  of  $25,319  per  year  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  to  help  solidify  its  operating  budget.  Representatives  of  the  organi- zation  announced  in  2012  that  the  Town  Meeting  Day  requests  would  stop,  in  light  of  improved  business  practices  and  a  steady  increase  in  calls  that  helped  solidify  Middle- bury  Regionalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  bottom  line.  The  change  took  effect  last  year  in  the  organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  service  towns  of  Middlebury,  Salisbury,  Ripton,  Weybridge,  New  Haven,  Cornwall,  Bridport,  Whiting,  Shoreham  and  Orwell.

To  put  things  in  perspective,  a  new  ambulance  can  run  around  $120,000,  according  to  Middlebury  Regional  EMS  Co-ÂDirector  Shyla  Clark. That  kind  of  a  price  tag  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  one  that  will  recur  over  the  years  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  led  to  some  serious  discussions  among  0LGGOHEXU\ 5HJLRQDO RIÂżFLDOV
