Phase  II:  A  win-­win  scenario? %H\RQG WKH ÂżQDQFLDO JDLQV IRr  two  big  businesses,  what’s  at  stake  with  Ver-­ mont  Gas’s  proposed  Phase  II  pipeline  project  is  the  prospect  of  an  extended  environmental  and  legal  battle  that  will  likely  be  seen  across  the  nation  as  a  quirky  rant  by  anti-­business/pro-­environmental  forces  in  anti-­business  Ver-­ mont.  That’s  not  an  image  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  wants  Vermont  to  project.  Like  governors  before  him  since  the  early  1990s,  there  has  been  a  concerted  effort  to  rid  itself  of  that  image  and  certainly  the  state’s  EB-­5  program  successes  and  other  initiatives  are  helping.  It  would  not  be  helpful  for  the  nation  to  look  at  the  Vermont  story  as  the  tipping  point  against  â€œfracked  gas.â€?  The  story  has  that  potential. Neither  would  the  story  be  good  for  Vermont  Gas  and  Gaz  Metro.  For  envi-­ ronmentalists  this  is  not  a  local  story  about  private  property  rights,  but  rather  D FRQWLQXLQJ VWRU\ RQ FOLPDWH FKDQJH DQG VSHFLÂżFDOO\ KRZ WKH ÂłFOHDQ IXHO´ image  of  natural  gas  is  not  as  advertised.  Opponents  will  harp  on  the  drilling  processes,  the  links,  the  perceived  dangers  to  the  Earth  and  residents,  and  on  DQG RQ ,W LV QRW D ÂżJKW *D] 0HWUR VKRXOG ZLOOLQJO\ HPEUDFH The  potential  bad  press  for  both  brands  is  reason  enough  to  try  to  resolve  the  ¿JKW EHIRUH LW JHWV WRR IDU DORQJ The  current  battlegrounds  are  based  on  past  policy  with  little  new  creativ-­ ity:  Vermont  Gas  is  running  its  numbers  (to  pay  for  the  extended  pipeline  to  Rutland)  based  on  what  the  Public  Service  Board  has  allowed  it  to  do  over  the  past  30  years;Íž  residents  of  Middlebury,  Cornwall  and  Shoreham  opposed  to  Phase  II  are  preparing  a  legal  battle  based  on  historic  PSB  doctrines  that  a  public  good  must  be  served  for  eminent  domain  to  prevail  in  the  right  to  build  a  pipeline  through  private  lands.  They  say  a  â€œpublic  goodâ€?  for  this  spur  to  WKH ,3 SODQW LV VWUHWFKLQJ WKH GHÂżQLWLRQ RI WKDW FRQFHSW $QG EHFDXVH WKH VSXU primarily  serves  one  large  out-­of-­state  business  and  because  it  is  conceivable  Vermont  Gas  could  reach  Rutland  sooner  if  it  focused  its  efforts  on  Rutland  ¿UVW RSSRQHQWV FRXOG DUJXH WKH ,3 VSXU LV FRQWUDU\ WR 9HUPRQWHUVÂś LQWHUHVW If  the  courts  are  to  decide  the  issue  â€”  and  that’s  the  direction  Cornwall  residents  are  hinting  â€”  look  for  a  prolonged  legal  battle  that  delays  the  pipe-­ line  for  years,  brings  that  political  battle  to  roost  (tarnishing  Vermont’s  brand  in  the  process),  and  costs  everyone  a  lot  of  extra  money  that  could  have  been  put  to  better  use. What  could  be  done?  Dream  a  little. The  state’s  goal  is  to  get  the  pipeline  to  Rutland  as  quickly  as  possible  to  offer  fuel  prices  that  are  almost  half  of  their  current  heating  bills.  Not  to  get  there  as  soon  as  possible  puts  businesses  at  a  huge  disadvantage  in  a  city  that  has  been  struggling  economically  for  years,  but  is  poised  to  make  a  comeback  with  a  solar  initiave  by  GMP  and  a  new  emphasis  on  building  new  higher  speed  rail  along  a  Western  Corridor.  But  even  getting  gas  to  Rutland  by  2020,  which  is  what  Vermont  Gas  projects  if  Phase  II  is  approved,  may  be  too  long  to  KHOS NHHS MREV IURP Ă€HHLQJ WR WRZQV MXVW WR PLOHV QRUWK RU RXW RI VWDWH Could  the  state  not  think  of  ways  to  amend  its  current  process  of  pipeline  contruction  â€”  whereby  ratepayers  pay  for  it  with  cost-­of-­living  incremental  increases  in  their  bills  â€”  and  instead  allow  Gaz-­Metro  to  front-­load  the  pay-­ ment  from  its  deeper  pockets  and  recapture  that  investment  from  ratepayers  at  a  more  gradual  basis  on  the  backend  (a  more  typical  way  to  pay  for  com-­ mercial  infrastructure).  We  know  that  is  not  how  the  industry  model  currently  works,  but  perhaps  it’s  time  for  new  thinking. What  would  Vermont  Gas  gain?  By  bypassing  the  IP  spur  and  putting  all  its  effort  to  reach  Vermont’s  second-­largest  city,  it  would  undoubtedly  get  there  sooner  and  tap  into  that  eager  market.  It  would  also  avoid  a  potentially  nas-­ ty  legal  battle  in  Cornwall,  which  would  likely  push  back  the  timeframe  for  Phase  II  and  eventually  on  to  Rutland  â€”  delaying  by  years  any  revenue  from  either  of  those  sites. What  does  the  state  gain?  It  gets  the  pipeline  to  Rutland  faster  â€”  therefore  saving  and  growing  jobs,  plus  saving  residents  money  on  fuel  costs  â€”  and  avoids  a  no-­win  environmental  battle  that  would  spiral  completely  beyond  its  control.  Not  that  environmentalists  (and  I  use  that  term  with  respect)  and  other  opponents  wouldn’t  also  protest  an  extended  pipeline  to  Rutland,  but  that  there  would  be  many  more  supporters  of  the  pipeline  to  Rutland  who  would  cheer  its  arrival  and  counter  the  image  that  Vermont  is  anti-­business.  (On  the  other  hand,  the  certain  protests  against  the  Phase  II  pipeline  would  not  likely  be  met  by  any  supporters  â€”  and  that  hardly  helps  Vermont  Gas’s  case  or  the  state’s  image.) The  good  news  is  that  the  Shumlin  administration  and  Vermont  Gas  share  a  common  goal:  to  reach  Rutland  as  quickly  as  possible  with  the  least  cost  to  ratepayers,  while  also  making  it  practical  for  the  gas  company.  In  getting  WKHUH ÂżQGLQJ WKH ZLQ ZLQ VFHQDULR LV WKH JRDO Angelo  S.  Lynn

What  about  the  environment? In  the  above  editorial,  the  win-­win  scenario  refers  to  the  state  and  Vermont  Gas  getting  a  pipeline  to  Rutland  in  the  fastest  manner  and  with  the  fewest  political  and  legal  consequences.  Environmentalists  opposed  to  the  pipeline  might  rightly  ask:  But  what  about  the  environment? The  central  premise  for  pipeline  supporters  is  that  natural  gas  is  a  bridge  fuel  to  a  time  in  which  renewable  energy  can  meet  area  needs.  Opponents  argue  that  it  merely  delays  the  state’s  drive  toward  the  development  of  more  renew-­ able  energy  and  creates  added  dependency  on  fossile  fuels. Both  are  right.  The  compromise  might  be  to  demonstrate  that  natural  gas  LV WUXO\ D EULGJH IXHO +RZ" ,W ÂżWV D VWDWH SROLF\ JRDO WR WDNH WKH VDYLQJV IURP natural  gas  use  (the  differential  between  the  cost  of  using  fuel  oil  and  using  natural  gas)  and  levy  a  tax  on  those  savings  to  be  dedicated  to  promoting  renewable  energy.  That  would  provide  the  state  with  funds  to  subsidize  renew-­ able  energy  use  and  development.  No  tax  is  popular  and  there  would  be  many  opponents  to  the  idea,  but  if  natural  gas  is  truly  intended  as  a  bridge  fuel,  then  public  policy  can  play  a  role  in  making  it  so.  Angelo  S.  Lynn

Panton  wrestles  with  tax  issues What  was  not  revealed  in  the  news  article  on  the  Panton  meeting  with  the  selectboard  about  taxes,  nor  in  Angelo  Lynn’s  editorial,  was  the  fact  that  the  assessment  of  lake-­ front  properties  in  Panton  went  up  40  percent  after  the  town’s  recent  reassessment.  No  one  has  been  able  to  adequately  explain  that  unprec-­ edented  jump. And,  since  we  just  had  a  recent  reassessment,  why  is  our  CLA  at  96.7  percent?  It  should  be  close  to  100  percent. Paulette  Bogan Panton

Vikings  keep  trying  fans’  patience I  don’t  watch  a  lot  of  football.  I  catch  the  Super  Bowl,  of  course.  Maybe  a  playoff  game  or  two.  I’ll  watch  the  Patriots  if  I  run  across  them  on  TV  and  I  have  nothing  else  happening.  And  every  once  in  a  while  I  will  watch  my  beloved  Minnesota  Vikings.  So  far  this  year  they  are  1-­3.  They  would  probably  be  1-­4  except  for  the  fact  that  they  didn’t  play  this  past  weekend.  It’s  no  big  deal.  I’m  used  to  it.  The  Vikings  have  been  disappointing  me  since  1970. I  grew  up  in  Minnesota.  I  was  a  kid  in  the  era  of  the  Purple  People  Eaters  and  Fran  Tarkenton  and  coach  Bud  Grant.  The  Vikings  were  tough.  They  were  good.  They  were  contenders.  By Trent Grant  grew  up  in  hardscrabble  Supe-­ Campbell rior,  Wisconsin.  He  joined  the  Navy  in  1945  and  apparently  his  favorite  thing  about  serving  was  the  haircut,  because  I  think  he  still  sports  it  today.  Grant  ran  a  tight  ship.  He  famously  had  his  team  practice  for  the  National  Anthem  every  week.  He  didn’t  allow  tomfoolery.  Even  in  January  when  the  bitter  Minnesota  winters  pushed  temperatures  below  zero  he  would  not  allow  heaters  on  the  sidelines  for  his  players.  The  opposing  team  could  have  their  sissy  heaters.  His  system  seemed  to  work.  Between  1968  and  1980  his  team  won  the  NFC  Central  division  11  times. For  a  good  chunk  of  the  1970s  the  Vikings  quarter-­ back  was  Fran  Tarkenton.  Bud  Grant  has  called  him  â€œthe  greatest  quarterback  who’s  ever  played.â€?  In  his  very  ¿UVW JDPH DV D SURIHVVLRQDO IRRWEDOO SOD\HU LQ KH threw  for  250  yards  and  four  touchdowns.  In  his  career  he  threw  for  47,003  yards  (sixth  all-­time)  and  342  touch-­ downs  (fourth  all-­time).  And  he  wasn’t  just  an  arm,  he  was  also  a  mad  scrambler  and  his  career  rushing  yards Â

place  him  fourth  best  among  quarterbacks.  Of  course,  as  they  always  say,  the  best  offense  is  a  good  defense  and  Minnesota  had  one  of  the  best.  â€œThe  Purple  People  Eatersâ€?  was  the  name  given  to  the  Vikings’  defensive  line.  The  original  eaters  were  Jim  Marshall,  Alan  Page,  Carl  Eller  and  Gary  Larsen.  They  got  their  nickname  because  they  wore  purple  and  they  ate  people,  mostly  quarterbacks,  for  lunch.  Every  Sunday.  Their  motto  was  â€œmeet  at  the  quarterback.â€?  This  was  not  an  invitation  to  tea,  but  a  promise  to  each  other  that  they  would  get  the  job  done  and  pound  the  opposing  quarterback  into  the  ground  with  extreme  prejudice.  And  they  held  these  meetings  with  shocking  regularity.  The  original  eaters  com-­ bined  for  more  than  400  sacks  during  their  Vikings  careers. 2Q SDSHU WKH 9LNLQJV KDG LW DOO 7KHLU ÂżUVW 6XSHU %RZO trip  came  in  1970.  They  went  again  in  1974.  And  1975.  Once  more  in  1977.  The  result?  An  oft  repeated  joke  meant  to  make  us  Vikings  fans  feel  bad  will  provide  the  answer:  How  are  the  Minnesota  Vikings  like  a  stolen  car?  No  title.  That’s  right,  the  Vikings  could  never  close  the  deal  during  those  golden  years  back  in  the  â€™70s.  They  kept  coming  up  short.  Minnesotans  spent  many  Januarys  with  their  heads  hung  low.  And  it  wasn’t  seasonal  affec-­ tive  disorder.  It  was  Vikings  Ineffective  Disorder.

Bristol health center gets fed designation By  JOHN  S.  McCRIGHT BRISTOL  â€”  The  Mountain  Health  Center  in  Bristol  has  moved  to  the  BristolWorks  complex  and  for  the  past  year  has  been  offering  health  care  to  underserved  populations  â€”  in  ad-­ dition  to  its  traditional  clientele.  But  last  week  the  center  got  word  that  it  has  received  designation  that  will  make  it  easier  for  the  medical  practice  to  continue  providing  those  services.

Captain  Phillips;Íž  Running  Time:  2:14;Íž  Rating:  R One  of  the  trickiest  challenges  in  making  movies  lies  in  the  phrase  â€œbased  on  a  true  story.â€?  In  â€œCaptain  Phillips,â€?  Director  Paul  Greengrass  and  Tom  Hanks  have  managed  to  overcome  all  the  inherent  hurdles.  Their  subject  â€”  the  hijacking  of  a  FDUJR VKLS XQGHU WKH $PHULFDQ Ă€DJ off  the  coast  of  Somalia  in  2009  â€”  drew  news  headlines  but  not  for  long  enough  that  Captain  Phillips,  his  crew,  or  the  pirates  became  familiar  to  the  SXEOLF 7KH ÂżOPPDNHUV ZHUH VSDUHG the  hazard  of  trying  to  recreate  high-­ SURÂżOH SHRSOH ZLWK DFWRUV With  that  great  freedom  in  casting,  they  chose  Tom  Hanks  to  play  Richard  Phillips  (a  Vermont  resident),  a  guar-­ antee  that  the  movie  would  be  watched  with  respect.  Hanks’  reputation  for  tal-­ ent,  experience  and  humanity  is  deep,  and  in  this  tough  movie,  we  believe  him  from  frame  one.  The  casting  team  can  take  additional  credit  for  a  creat-­ ing  a  credible  American  crew  and  for  the  still  greater  challenge  of  casting  the  Somali  pirates  who  came  from  a  culture  and  an  economy  unfamiliar  to  Americans.  In  reaching  to  the  Somali  FRPPXQLW\ LQ 0LQQHDSROLV WKH ÂżOP-­ makers  found  actor  Barkhad  Abdi  to  play  Muse,  leader  of  the  pirates  and  Barkhad  Abdirahman  as  his  sidekick  Bilal.  Both  men  are  outstanding. At  the  outset  the  odds  seem  ridicu-­ lous.  The  enormous  cargo  ship  Maersk  Alabama  out  of  Norfolk  and  bound  for  Kenya  with  a  crew  of  just  20  is  unarmed,  in  compliance  with  ship-­ ping  company  policy.  The  pirate  skiff, Â

a  seeming  sliver  of  wood  beside  the  ship,  sneaks  under  the  hoses  the  American  crew  has  turned  on  it.  A  small  handful  of  skinny  young  men  carrying  AK-­47s  climb  the  ship’s  side  and  take  control  of  the  bridge.  These  young  pirates  â€”  inexpe-­ rienced  in  piracy  and  weaponry  â€”  had  been  recruited  in  a  chaotic  beach  scene  by  bosses  determined  to  extract  mon-­ ey  from  shipping  companies.  Over-­ whelmed  and  thoroughly  confused  by  their  own  mission,  they  were  raucous,  disorganized  and  extremely  jittery. The  rest  of  the  movie  involves  the  removal  of  Captain  Phillips  to  a  cap-­ sule  life  craft  where  he  was  held  hos-­ tage  with  no  water  and  little  air  by  an  armed  group  of  frightened,  angry  young  men.  After  the  arrival  of  the  USS  Bainbridge  and  snipers  from  Navy  SEAL  Team  Six,  the  only  hope  of  rescue  lay  with  the  SEALs  who  knew  they  had  to  shoot  three  pirates  si-­ multaneously  in  order  to  save  Phillips.  7KH WHQVH VHTXHQFH RI WKHLU ÂżQGLQJ straight  sight  lines  to  hidden  targets  in  a  tiny  craft  bobbing  in  the  waves  is  one  of  the  best  in  the  movie.
