Police search for missing man Photo restoration reveals face of Vermont quaker On Friday, June 6, the Middlebury Police Department received a report that Skye S. Stone, age 40, has been missing since May 30. Stone was last seen in downtown Middlebury on the evening of May 29. Stone is a white male, approximately 6’0” tall, 160 pounds, with brown eyes, dark hair—usually worn in a ponytail—a long goatee-style beard and eyeglasses. Chief of Police Thomas Hanley said Stone usually wears a baseball cap, a t-shirt, and jean pants. Stone is believed to be operating a 2001 black Dodge truck with Vermont registration BLE528. Information received by police indicate that Stone may have gone camping at an unknown location or may have traveled to the Homestead, Fla. area. Anyone with information regarding the location of Stone is asked to contact Middlebury Police at 388-3191.
College student charged with video recording sex Middlebury College senior student Rupert C. Ralston was charged with video voyeurism in Addison County Court for secretly recording sexual activity with his girlfriend without her knowledge or consent. State’s Attorney John T. Quinn charged Ralston, age 22, with video voyeurism after a former girlfriend learned from others that he had secretly recorded sexual activity between them and had shown the video to others. Two Middlebury College students provided statements to police that Ralston had shown them a video recording of himself and girlfriend engaging in sex. Video voyeurism is a misdemeanor in Vermont and carries a maximum penalty of two years and a $1,000 fine. Ralston was released under the condition that he have no contact with the girl. He entered a “not guilty” plea and return to court for further proceedings June 8.

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Thomas Richardson Robinson was born in 1761 and raised in a wealthy Quaker family in Newport, R.I. At the time of the American Revolution, he was a young man who shunned the violence of conflict because of deeply held religious convictions.
In 1793, after marrying Jemima Fish Robinson, Thomas moved the family to the wilds and freedom of northern New England—to a new state called Vermont. There the Robinsons homesteaded the land and created a legacy that has been carefully and lovingly preserved. Although his mortal life ended in 1851, the living face of Thomas

‘Wild, wild horses’ for sale Rutland horse adoption, June 12-13 By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Popular rock song lyrics say that “wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away...”, but in the case if U.S. BLM public affairs specialist Martha Malik, wild horses and wild burros are indeed dragging her away—from her Milwaukee, Wis. office to the Vermont State Fairgrounds in Rutland, June 12-13. During the upcoming weekend, Malik will help coordinate the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Horse and Burro Adoption event at the fairgrounds located at 125 S. Main St. (Route 7), just south of downtown Rutland. It is the first big U.S. government horse sale in Vermont in more than decade.

Malik coordinates wild mustang and burro adoptions from the BLM Milwaukee Field Office. All horses and burros come from U.S. states west of the Mississippi River. The BLM will offer approximately 60 wild horses—often called wild mustangs—ranging from yearlings to 5 year olds, along with a few burros, to potential adopters at the fairgrounds. You can adopt your own wild horse or burro in Vermont for a minimal fee—$125 for the first animal and $25 for additional animals. “We’re hoping for a good turnout,” said Malik. “We’ve had mixed results with recent adoptions due to the bad economy. I know that Vermont is a horse-loving state, so we hope for a lot of support.” Malik said just a few years ago wild horse sales were brisk but now there’s a slump in the wild horse market as people are cutting back on personal luxuries such as large pets. Sadly, large critters such as horses, are the first to go to generate cash flow. “All our horses are disease and worm free,” she said. “Every animal is inspected by a vet with a blood test—they are in good health. This is an incredible deal for a loving family or individual.” Many of the BLM’s wild horses are gentle, with some prior human contact, while others fit the true definition of wild mustang. Would-be adopters, buy the horses and burros on a first come, first-served basis; they must demonstrate responsible ownership. Adopters must plan on bringing a stock trailer and they must show BLM agents their corral plans which must include a specific-sized corral for adult animals (age 3 and older) as well as a shelter. “The BLM manages the nation’s public lands for multiple uses, in accordance with the 1976 Federal Land Policy and Management Act,” said BLM-Eastern States Director Juan Palma. “BLM manages wild horses and burros as part of

According to Malik, prospective adopters must have sturdy corrals that are 20’ x 20’ (or larger), at least 6 feet high for an adult horse and at least 5 feet high for burros and horses younger than 18 months, and have a shelter directly attached to the corral. Adopters must provide the stocktype, step up trailer—ramps and side-by-side two-horse type trailers are not allowed. Horse owners won’t own the animals, out right, until the end of a one-year adoption-grace period. Then, their corral will be inspected by a BLM agent. If all things pass inspection, the animal will be fully owned by the adopters. The Saturday adoption will be on a first come first served basis. The animals can be previewed on Friday, June 12, 27 p.m. Adoption hours are Saturday, June 13, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. A minimal adoption fee of $125 for animals less than three years of age and $25 for animals three and older is required for adoption. In addition, you can take home a buddy animal for only $25 when you adopt any animal at the full fee of $125. Even if you have no interest in buying a horse, you are welcome to visit this free event to see American wild horses upclose. Applications to adopt Reg. $3.99 will be reviewed starting on (Thurs.

David E. Pidgeon of Pidgeon’s Gun Shop and Gunsmithing in New Haven: Happy 50th Anniversary. Farm in New Haven. After struggling with the dairy operation, Pidegon finally auctioned off the family farm in 1986; in 1989 he built a new house with adjoining shop at the current Route 7 location. Pidgeon has seen a lot of changes in the business since the 1950s. Since 1968, gun control laws have negatively affected the industry, however, ironically, more people than ever are buying guns and stockpiling ammunition—including a big increase in female gunownership and safety training. “We didn’t need a license until 1968, the year of the King and Kennedy murders,” said Pidgeon, “and there was no background check until that time. If I knew the customer there was no problem—no forms, no federal paperwork to fill out.” Ah, the good old days. Since 1968, lawmakers and special interest groups have tried to chip away at the U.S. Second Amendment with mixed results. In some respects, as Pidgeon sees it, gun control efforts have ended up with more citizens armed. “I never got into the assault weapons end of it,” Pidgeon said, “I’m not happy with the importation of these weapons; it has done nothing for the American worker.” Perhaps Pidgeon’s luckiest business break came in the 1970s when he linked up with Montana wheat farmer,

turned gun dealer, Joe DeSaye of J&G Sales fame. Finding a loophole in Smith & Wesson’s now defunct regional gun distribution plan, Pidgeon would buy S&W firearms for DeSaye to help build up what has since gone on to become the 500-pound gorilla of Internet gun dealers, J&G Sales.com. For a 15-year period, Pidgeon raked in $250,000 in annual sales with DeSaye “partnership” until S&W changed its ways during the mid 1980s. Pidgeon’s business has always focused on the hunter and gun hobbyist. But occasionally, he has benefited from pop cultural eruptions such as Hollywood movie fads. Starting in 1971, Clint Eastwood’s “Dirty Harry” film series spurred a new generation to firearms—big caliber handguns. The fictional Dirty Harry .357 S&W Magnum became the thing to pack. But an increase in violent crime in the 1970s was also spurring customers to take action regarding their own defense—just as America’s ubiquitous liberal judges, who seemed to relish making laws from the bench, appeared to be siding with criminals and not the victims. “Today there’s a lot of interest in collecting,” Pidgeon said. “For example, pre-1964 Winchesters are very valuable. Also, speciality items and limited editions are pop-
ular. And in this economy, we’re seeing more young people selling their heirloom guns for needed cash.” Pidgeon is all fired up about the future. While he sees some troubling trends in the business, he maintains a bouyant level of optimism. And while he’s concerned about anti-gun groups— even in Vermont—he believes most Americans will understand the importance of the Second Amendment, written in 1791—the amendment protecting our right to keep and bear arms from infringement by the federal government. A few years ago, Pidgeon started a website—www.pidgeonsgunshop.com—which now enjoys a brisk cyber trade with nearly 65,000 hits per month. “I am amazed at how well known I am in this business,” Pidgeon said. “Chris Hodgson of Hodgson Powder Company in Kansas recently called me to congratulate me on my 50th business anniversary. I guess I’m a rare breed.” Pidgeon is indeed a rare breed—the average lifespan of typical gunshop is only two years.

Businessman David E. Pidgeon, owner of Pidgeons Gun Shop and Gunsmithing located on Route 7 in New Haven, Vt., is still pinching himself—he can’t believe he’s been in business for a half-a-century this month. In the 50 years since he became Vermont’s premiere gun dealer and gunsmith, Pidgeon, “the Gun Doctor”, estimates he’s repaired over 50,000 weapons locally. And up until the 1990s, he even conducted exotic hunting safaris to Mexico, South America and Canada. His biggest customer base come from Addison, Rutland and Chittenden counties in Vermont, but there are others who visit from as far away as New Mexico. The Bridport native started his business in June 1959 as a means to supplement his income in dairy farming. His parents, French-Canadian farmers Theodore and Helen Pidgeon, were barely paying the bills during a depression in the dairy business—a situation not unlike today’s. “I simply had to earn more money on the side,” Pidgeon said. “My friends, Cary Marshall, and his brother George Marshall who used to own the Marshall John Deere dealership (now Hendy Brothers), helped me get this business off the ground. I started out with custom reloading and repairing, primarily of hunting rifles and handguns; I branched out from there.” Pidgeon said his business started at a good time, just when Addison County lost its premiere gunsmith, J. Bushnell Smith of Weybridge. “Smith died in a tragic house fire in 1958,” he said, “so there was a real need for this type of business.” The gun shop first opened at what is now Misty Knoll

Pair Coupons with Rock-Bottom Sales
A
rmed with the knowledge that every item in the grocery store is on sale at its lowest price just once in a 12week time span, planning your shopping trips around what is on sale versus what you need in a particular week is the next step to saving money on groceries. For example, boneless, skinless chicken breasts are a perfect example of a priceBy Jill Cataldo volatile item. Last week at my grocery store, chicken breasts were on sale for $1.79/pound. This week, they’re $5.29/pound. While I may not plan to make a meal with chicken breasts this week, I know that because they were at their low price point last week, it will be about 3 months before I see them at that great price again. Last week, I bought enough chicken to last my family until they’re offered again at a low price. But I didn’t pay $1.79/pound for my chicken. I paid $1.29/pound. I used a 50-cent coupon for each package I purchased, but the coupons I used weren’t offered in this week’s paper. The coupons I used were several months old – not expired, just older than this current week. Now, if you currently use coupons, let me guess how you do it: Your Sunday newspaper arrives. You page through the coupon inserts, clipping out the items you want to buy this week … and you throw the insert away. But this is the No. 1 mistake most coupon users make. Why is this a mistake? Grocery stores’ best sales rarely coincide with the week coupons for these items appear in the newspaper. The grocery store knows weeks in advance what coupons are coming out in the paper. They also know that most people who use coupons will cut them and use them the same week that they came in the newspaper. So, the grocery store will typically put some of the coupon products on sale – just not at their lowest price points. Shoppers will think they’re getting a deal, but the store has enticed you into purchasing at a higher price – even with your coupon. If you use your coupons when the chicken is on sale for $3.29/pound, you won’t have them anymore when the chicken’s price drops below the $2.00/pound mark Until next week, I’ll leave you with an exciting example of another reason you should save your coupons. Pairing a $1 coupon with a $1 sale results in free items! Now, you may be thinking, “Really? Is it that easy?” You be the judge. This week, pasta, cartons of lemonade, instant potatoes and toothbrushes were on sale at my store for $1 each. I redeemed a $1 coupon for each of those items, so they were free to me. But in each case, the coupons I used came from inserts published weeks ago; a shopper wouldn’t find them in the current week’s inserts. Shoppers who clip coupons the old-fashioned way might not have needed a toothbrush three months ago, when the $1-off coupon ran in the paper. So, they threw the insert away. Super-Couponers keep their inserts. They understand that the coupons inside may provide them with the chance to land a free item in the future. Why throw away money? © CTW Features

Keeping debt profitable I
n a line of investigation which runs backward from contemporary credit-card regulation to the Constitutional rights-of-contract, to the Fourteenth Amendment curtailing some of those rights to Depression-era milk price regulation, to Progressive-era grain-elevator regulation, I stumbled again—as befits an amateur in history and economics—on a couple of U.S. Supreme Court cases which I had earlier found interesting for wholly different reasons. One is the 1877 Munn v. Illinois dispute, in which politics made strange bed-fellows, as the National Grange farmer organization teamed up with the then-new Progressive movement (which claimed that high-intellect technical experts like them should run things, not a bunch of stupid voters) to demand government regulation of grain-elevator crop-storage prices. They got what they wanted, establishing the principle that some aspects of private business are too important to be entrusted to private businessmen. The other is the 1933 Nebbia v. New York dispute, in which State government, fearing that low milk prices would drive too many dairymen out of business and thus generate higher milk prices for the then-new urbanite-majority of voters, established minimum retail milk prices. These were then resisted as “too high” by exactly the consumers and retailers they were designed to protect. SCOTUS approved the price-fixing at 9 cents per quart (which would translate, inflation-adjusted, to $5.98 per gallon today) establishing the practical principle that government regulation must include enough built-in supplier profit margin to keep them from quitting. It’s that same principle which requires state public service departments to guarantee public utilities a return-on-investment in the 10-to-12 percent range when setting retail ratepayer costs. Dairymen have no such guaranteed ROI, but that’s another story entirely. Given this history, you can see why government has dealt with the range of consumer-despised practices of the credit-card industry as superficially as it has. Once upon a time, the practical consumer response to business practices they didn’t like was to take their trade elsewhere, no government involvement expected, but that sort of libertarian politics has vanished. Now, consumers demand that government regulate, and so there are some new constraints on the industry—required delays in interest-rate changes, for example—which seek voter approval by placating consumer angst while keeping the industry quietly and comfortably profitable.
Consumers don’t like interest rates in the high teens and beyond, but the industry argues (no proof offered) that they’re needed to balance losses from defaulters, so that, as with the homemortgage industry, the good risks end up subsidizing the poor risks. We know that banking is profitable –nearly a 20 percent return on sales, more than twice the 8 percent for the oil-and-gas industry, marginally less than the 22 percent for Big Pharma—but we aren’t allowed to see numbers for Big Plastic specifically. We can reasonably expect that government won’t convert the credit-card industry into a regulated public utility –after all, no one really “needs” a charge card—and cut the lenders’ rates to, say, a CD return of 3 percent; and we can reasonably expect that government won’t set minimum prices for consumer credit as it has set them for milk in various places, or prescribed prices per unit as it has set them for power and communications of various types. In a parallel universe, government might have chosen to reduce and not increase credit-card-industry regulation to encourage competition, just as the Grange, starting in the 1880’s, might have chosen to compete, price-wise, with the grain elevators, instead of suing them. Then, if one card issuer got too abusive of its customers, new credit-issuers would spring up, and consumers could take their borrowing elsewhere, and competition would regulate for servicequality in a cost-effective way that government never can. Actually, in this universe, the Grange did just that, albeit in a half-hearted way. There’s still a handful of grain storage facilities, with the Grange logo clearly painted on each of them, here and there in farm country. And the Grange, historically, urged its members to invest in private, onfarm storage, so as to gain better control over farm-gate commodity prices. But it did so far less aggressively than the National Farmers Organization; which, I suggest, explains why the NFO is today a far more serious and effective force for farm prosperity than the Grange. Maybe the loudly complaining, forever lobbying, and regulation-demanding Consumer Federation of America ought to get into the credit-card business, to show those rascally bank-based lenders how it should ideally be done?

‘Mars Hoax’ e-mail makes the rounds—yet again!
S
kywatchers beware: A bogus e-mail message about the approach of the Red Planet Mars is making the rounds of the Internet—yet again. This phony message claims that Mars will make a close approach of Earth and be as large as the full Moon this summer. Wrong! This summer, don’t expect the Red Planet to be anything but what it is normally—very small and faint to the naked eye. According to Spaceweather.com, “The ‘Mars Hoax’ email first appeared in 2003. It seems to resurface every summer.On Aug. 27, 2003, Mars really did come historically close to Earth. But the e-mail’s claim that Mars would rival the Moon was grossly exaggerated. Every summer since 2003, the e-mail has staged a revival. It’s as wrong now as it was then.” On the subject of Mars, a perceptive Champlain Valley Union High School student e-mailed me last week with a good question about the famous Mars Rock. He wants to know if claims of microfossils found within the rock are true. Well, in 1996 NASA first announced the discovery of possible fossil nanomicrobes in the ALH 84001 meteorite (found in Antarctica); the ALH 84001 rock was blasted off Mars, by either an asteroid impact or a powerful volcanic eruption millions of years ago. Since 1996, scientists have battled over NASA’s ALH 84001 findings; many researchers booed NASA and came down on the “con” side. What looks like worm-like fossils, they said, are just too small for lifeforms. Yet, certain extremely ancient fossilized microbes have been found inside Earth rocks; these terrestrial fossils are small enough to resemble the tiny Mars rock remains. But what would Martian life look like if it exists? Personally, I think it’s premature to dismiss NASA’s fossil-life claims regarding the ALH 84001 Mars meteorite. There’s a lot more we don’t know about Mars than actually know about the planet—it remains a mysterious world that has yet to be geologically sampled first hand. Imagine having only a few pieces of Earth and then concluding our planet’s entire geological and biological history from the fragments. No matter, the jury’s still out about ALH 84001 as far as the scientific community is concerned. We’ll have to wait for a robotic Mars sample return mission to see if similar “fossils” are found inside Martian surface rocks. Save June 20: This writer will be wearing his NASA Solar System Ambassador cap at the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Open House at the Rutland Airport, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., on Saturday, June 20. CAP was founded in 1941 and is an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. Bring the family and learn all about how CAP helps with search-and-rescue missions as well as homeland security.
Plus, see a small display about NASA’s proposed Mars ARES robot aircraft and pick up a free ARES paper airplane. This event will be an ideal opportunity to learn about how to fly, too; come and meet FAA-certified instructors from Argyle Aviation, a new flight school at the Rutland Airport, and hear a talk about the FAA’s exciting new Sport-Pilot certificate. This open house will also display several local aircraft including CAP’s mission plane and kitplanes built by members of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Green Mountain Flyers chapter. Like to meet and talk with all kinds of pilots—from jet pilots to recreational pilots? Well, here’s your chance. Plus parents and young people can learn about the nationally recignized CAP Cadet leadership program (for young boys and girls, ages 12-18). President Obama recently praised CAP cadets for their outstanding service to the nation. Scenic flights over Vermont (for a fee) will also be available, weather permitting—finally, top off a day at the airport with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs prepared by the CAP cadets. This event is free and should be a lot of fun—held rain or shine (if it rains we’ll be inside the CAP hangar). The airport is located off Route 7, south of Rutland City, in North Clarendon. What’s in the sky: At 5 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, look to the east to observe a beautiful grouping of the slivered Moon plus three terrestrial planets—Mercury, Venus and Mars. Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., a former NASA science writer, is a NASA/JPL solar system ambassador in Vermont.

Ragas and all that jazz By Bill Wargo newmarketpress@denpubs.com “When I make a word do a lot of work like that,” said Humpty Dumpty to Alice in Wonderland, “I always pay it extra.” Humpty and Alice were not talking about the word “jazz,” but they might as well have been. As the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival’s Program Guide emphasizes, if you ask a hundred people to define jazz, you’ll get 300 answers. The overworked word deserves extra pay. The festival works hard also. Realizing that jazz is continually evolving, the festival showcases many of jazz’s faces and forms in a very short time period. During the ten-day Festival, you can experience bebop, big band, blues, bluegrass, ballads, bossa nova and beyond. On June 13, for example, sitarist Paul Crowley and tablaist Benjamin Stewart will perform “Ragas of North India” on the Burlington City Hall Stage at 2 p.m. A raga is a musical scale or mode (like a “key”) that dictates what notes can be played during a particular musical piece. Each raga is associated with a certain kind of musical and emotional mood and with specific types of ornamentation and dominant notes. Indian classical musicians are known for their improvisation, but such invention must take place within a raga’s individual boundaries. Although ragas may seem way outside the meaning of jazz, they are not. Jazz saxophonist John Coltrane fell in love with classical Indian music about half a century ago, and he incorporated many of its characteristics into his work. He even named his son after famed Bengali Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar. During the last few days of the festival, heed the festival’s command. Take a chance. Discover what jazz can mean.

The doctor is in... ADHD expert to shed light on R&D With attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) a growing problem for children across the U.S., information about this condition, its impact, and its treatments is available everywhere and often leaves parents of children with ADHD concerned and confused about which part of that information may be important for a particular child. Leading researchers are responding to these concerns by hosting ADHD Info Now, a nationwide forum series that’s offering a clear, informed look at ADHD. In the South Burlington area, ADHD Info Now will be hosted by Dr. Richard Rubin, a physician familiar with ADHD treatment, counseling, and management who is also actively studying a new investigational drug treatment for ADHD as part of a research effort sponsored by Shire Development, Inc. As part of this discussion forum, Dr. Rubin will meet with parents in person to discuss many aspects of this condition, and to give a physician’s view on current ADHD treatments and research. ADHD Info Now is free, and open to the public. It will be held at thr Holiday Inn, 1068 Williston Rd., in South Burlington, Thursday, June 11, at 7 p.m. Parents and teachers of children with ADHD are welcome to attend the event. Rubin will be available to answer questions, and to discuss all the information and options that may be available to children with this condition.

Transparency?
The Democrat Budget To the Editor: Ok, so now we have in Vermont a Democrat Budget. According to the media, this budget will put us taxpayers in the hole for an additional several hundred million dollars. Why? Because the Dems in Montpelier don't/won't give up their unsustainable social services programs. Let’s look at some facts: Businesses in Vermont are either going bankrupt or leaving the state in droves. Worker bees (taxpayers) are doing the same. Taxes have risen to the point where Vermonters are one of the highest taxed people in the U.S.A. So, here is the $64 question for Rep. Dave Sharpe and Rep. Mike Fisher: Exactly who is going to pay for the this new budget? Please, don't give us taxpayers your normal rhetoric, just facts—who is left to pay for this budget? Retirees? Not likely—they are leaving Vermont, too. Welfare recipients? hardly—they are a major part of the budget. Do you think that “sin taxing” is the answer? I doubt that any Vermonter will pay $ 15 for a pack of cigarettes or $ 21 for a six pack of beer. My point is: You have reached the point of diminishing returns on taxing people and businesses. The well is dry— there is no more left. You must drastically reduce the budget either through cuts or layoffs. Gov. Douglas tried in vain to get you to do exactly that. The ball is now in your court. Burt DeGraw Bristol
Abbey Pond
To the Editor: You might be interested in another area of interest not mentioned in Angela DeBlasio’s fine article. It is well worth the extra effort to view the remains of a nineteenth century sawmill a little distance from the trail and not visible from it. Here are directions and a description of the site. The trail crosses the stream a second time about 1/2 mile above the initial bridge crossing. Instead of crossing the stream, follow it's left bank. Where two streams converge, follow the right one. The old mill foundation is about 500 feet from where you leave the trail. There are very substantial foundations and a sluiceway to be explored, but of particular interest are the remains of a large steam engine. Vandals have taken a toll on it, but one has to marvel at the determination of the men who brought this huge machine to this remote location. Granted, it would have been brought in sections, but none-the-less it would have been difficult with only the horse or ox power of that day. One thing that was apparent to me when I viewed the complex was that this small stream would have been incapable of supplying the power necessary to run a sawmill, and this is where Abbey Pond must have come into play. On a day when the mill was to be utilized, the sluice gate at the pond would be opened to provide a volume of water sufficient to power the mill. I expect this arrangement was cumbersome and unreliable, which I suppose is why they eventually brought the steam engine to provide auxiliary power. Ernest Clifford Crown Point, N.Y.
To the Editor: Vermont statues Title 1, chapter 5, section 313, (a) clearly states: “A motion to go into executive session shall indicate the nature of the business of the executive session, and no other matter may be considered in the executive session.” In an open MAUHS board meeting on May 19, I made the statement that “If we (the board) are going to discuss anything other than vacation pay I would vote no about going into executive session.” No other issue was included in the motion to enter executive session. We did enter executive session and discuss vacation pay, but then board member Vice Chair Bonita Bedard brought up “The letter in the newspaper.” Neither Chair Lanny Smith, nor any of the members, objected to this improper discussion. At that point, I considered it no longer a legal executive session and I left. I will always keep discussion held in a legal executive session confidential, but I will not be part of misrepresented and illegal clandestine gatherings. If these secret discussions cannot stand up in the sunshine than they should not be had in the first place. Devon Sanford’s Aunt Ester on the old T.V. series has it right... “The truth will set you free.” R. E. Merrill Bristol
They Would Be Giants To the Editor: What the heck is it with our high school officials that send home honor roll lists that include just about every darn student in the school? Are kids so brilliant today that everyone is now a Rhodes scholar? Why do I doubt this— some of the young people I encounter in local stores can’t even give $1.00 back in change without a calculator to use as a brain crutch. Ask them where Andorra is located and they’ll tell you at the bottom of the sea. Dumbing down a school’s honors by making everyone a legend in their own minds is great disserve to the the tradition of education and our young people. Here we have a nation in serious decline in so many areas of civilization—art, science, technology, nuclear energy research and production, domestic manufacturing, and we’d rather feel warm and fuzzy by teaching a generation of youth to shun competition and turn capitalism into the boogieman. Thankfully, I’ll be dead and buried when America finally finishes her inexorable slide into has-been status. Mike Barnack Leicester

Vergennes Police in state’s crosshairs
Pursuing Veronica, part 5 T
Vergennes Police Chief Michael Lowe According to a Vermont State Police news report, Vergennes Police Chief Michael Lowe is now being investigated for a minor automobile accident that took place on School Street last Sunday; the police cruiser Lowe was driving allegedly hit a parked car. Lowe hit the rear end of the car around 2 p.m., according to State Police. The parked car was unoccupied; Lowe was not injured, they said, and was off duty. Lowe did not return a call when a Burlington news reporter attempted to contact him. Lowe, in a Vermont news interview that appeared in May, acknowledged problems with the department's record-keeping. There are also questions about Vergennes police officiers having completed certain firearms and first-aid courses required to stay certified as police officers.

hroughout the entire rehearsal period and into the first couple of performances I remained clueless as to whether Veronica gave a hoot about me. I felt she was definitely way beyond my reach/out of my league, which ironically made me act more relaxed around her. Being relaxed was a boon to my chances of Veronica ever finding me interesting and attractive. Had I thought for a second I might have a chance with her, I’d have blown it, like I’d done with so many girls, so many times before. I threw a party at my house post second performance; partly because there was a gal I’d been hankering for for years that I wanted to invite. I thought if I invited her to the party she’d come to the play too. Over the past couple of years she and I had gone out a handful of times, and though nothing had started romantically, I felt strongly there was a very good chance somewhere along the line something might, especially if she came to the play and saw what good job I (thought I) was doing (Lenny in “Of Mice and Men”). I had washed and proudly parked my bait, ah, my motorcycle, close to the stairs that led to my deck so when folks arrived at the party they’d have to pass it on their way to the front door. Clever, eh? I didn’t know if the girl I liked liked motorcycles, but by god, I’d been working this chick for a couple years, and if she showed up I wasn’t about to let her get away without presenting her with an opportunity to be struck by love over my 1340-cc of proofpositive-piston-powered virility. She did show up, and three quarters of the way through the party she and a gaggle of gals had gathered on the deck and were looking at, chatting about, and giggling over my motorcycle. I spied em through the sliding glass door and made a beeline. Long casual exhale: “Great night for a bike ride,” I understated to a horrific degree. Revisiting that line shivers my blood because I actually don’t like using the word bike when refereeing to a motorcycle, and I don’t much like riding at night. But I said it because I was working outside my comfort zone; I thought I had a chance with the girl I’d been working on for two years. The girl didn’t respond. She, along with the three other girls in the gaggle, stood there, stiff, looking frightened. It wasn’t as if I’d have bet the ranch on the girl agreeing to go for a ride that night, but come on, I’d cleaned the
house, bought and prepared the food, sent the invitations, I’m the star of the play, the host of the party, one of the few single guys there, and not to mention (To me “not to mention” is one of those things we say and write that makes no sense, because if you are wanting not to mention it, you wouldn’t mention it, would you? Same with the road sign, Hidden Drive, if the drive is hidden, you don’t need the sign), I’m the owner of a cool as heck motorcycle, all of which I’m sure you’d agree are some serious creeds for girl getting; And what happened when I put it all together in a tidy little package? I whiffed. Now if you’d been watching all that I’ve just described in a movie, you’d probably feel sorry for the guy playing the part of me. That is, until the sweet, pretty, unassuming, heroine enters the scene lower screen right and confidently says to the guy who is playing the part of me, “I’ll go.” If that happened, then you’d feel really good for the guy playing the part of me, wouldn’t you? Do you know, that is exactly what happened. I’d worked two years to get the other girl and hadn’t worked at all to get Veronica, which just goes to show you … well, I actually, I, don’t know what it goes to show you, because there are no fail-safe rules or methods when it comes to making a girl like you. What I do know is, the time it took for my ears to register Veronica’s, “I’ll go,” was double the amount of time it took to forget the other girl and the entire two year effort I’d put into impressing her. Ha, I haven’t seen her since. Now for the ride. To be continued. Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly.

It’s playoff time in Vermont By Fred Pockette There is nothing more exciting in the world of sport than a single elimination tournament that determines a championship. Anything can happen. No matter how good, or bad your respective team is, anyone can beat anyone else on any given day. Favorites can get knocked off early, and under dogs can advance farther than anyone thought possible, or not. The single elimination format is what Vermont high schools use to determine their state champions in all their sports. The playoffs for the spring sports season began on Tuesday, June 2nd, and as of Monday morning (this paper ’s deadline) each sport had completed their quarterfinal round, reducing each divisional field to just four teams. Our four area teams (Middlebury, MT Abe, Vergennes and CVU) had teams in action last weekend competing for a spot in the state semifinals while others were eliminated in the opening round. Some did not even make the playoff field. Of those that did compete this weekend some survived to play on, while others were eliminated. Read on to see how our local teams fared in softball and baseball as well as boys and girls lacrosse. Tigers Alive and Kicking In Division I softball the seventh seeded Middlebury Tigers survived the first two rounds and were headed to the semifinals when we went to press. After squeaking past the Hartford Hurricanes 2-1 (Wednesday, June 3rd) in the opening round, the Middlebury Tigers upset the second seeded BFA-St. Albans Terriers 2-0 in the quarterfinals last Saturday, in Saint Albans. Mallory James had a single and a double, while driving in the game winning run to lead the Tigers to the quarterfinal upset. Lea Gipson tossed a five hit shutout for Middlebury, who entered the semifinals with an 11-6 record. In Division II the thirteenth seeded Vergennes Commodores pulled off back-to- back upsets to advance to the semifinals. The Commodores began their unlikely quest by eliminating the fourth seed Mill River Minutemen 9-4 in the opening round before squeaking past the fifth seeded Mount Abraham Eagles 4-3 last Saturday in the quarterfinals. Katie Curler fave up two runs on three hits with a dozen strikeouts on her way to the complete game win. Devon Lane and Virginia Devon Joyal ripped RBI triples for the victorious Commodores, who enter the semifinals with a 4-13 record.. Courtney Jipner and Julia Wilkinson collected RBI singles for Mount Abraham Shanna Gebo was the losing pitcher Mount Abe, after defeating Bellows Falls in the opening round end their season with an 11-7 record. Top Seeded Eagles Reach Semis After shutting out their Addison County Rivals, the Middlebury Tigers, 7-0 in opening round action (Wednesday, June 3rd) the top seeded Mount Abraham Eagles advanced to the Division - II baseball semifinals by thumping the ninth seeded Burr and Burton Bulldogs 18-2 last Saturday in Bristol. In a game that just went five innings Shawn Marcelle went 5-for-5 with a home run and drove in four runs. Corey
Barnes joined in on the fun by blasting a two-run homer and Nate McCormick registered two hits and two runs for the Eagles. Ben Orvis (three innings) and Marcelle (two innings) split pitching duties for the victorious Eagles, allowing just one run on one hit each. Mount Abe advanced to the semifinals with a 15-3 record. Burr and Burton advanced to the quarterfinals by eliminating another Addison County team in the opening round. On Wednesday, June 3rd in Vergennes, Eddie Lewicki went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer and drove in five runs to lead the Bulldogs past the eighth seeded Vergennes Commodores 9-7. Logan Williams went 2-for-3 with a two-run double for the Commodores in their final game. Burr and Burton finish their year at 8-9, while The Commodores wrap it up at 9-8. Tigers Escape Upset In Division I girls lacrosse action the second seeded Middlebury Tigers overcame a three-goal deficit with nine minutes left to eliminate the seventh seeded Woodstock, 15-14, last Saturday in the quarterfinals. Katie Ritter paced the Tiger attack with five goals while Liz Kelley contributed three more. Alex Sears recorded eight saves for the Tigers who enter the semifinals at 13-4. Carrie Weschler led the Wasps with four goals. Woodstock winds up their year at 96. In the Division I boys field both the third seeded Champlain Valley Union Redhawks and the fifth seeded Middlebury Tigers are in the final four. Nick Hart, on an assist from Sam Spencer, scored 3 minutes, 19 seconds into overtime to give third-seeded Champlain Valley Union a 4-3 victory over the sixth seeded BFASt. Albans Terriers last Friday in Division I boys lacrosse quarterfinal action. Hart, Nate Wells and West O’Brien added single goals while Tim Reichert contributed three assists to the overtime win. Eric Palmer made eight saves for CVU who enter the semifinals at 12-5. BFA ends their season with 10 wins and seven losses. On the same night in Barre, Cooper Quenneville scored four goals and Colin Martin added three more to lead their Middlebury Tigers past fourth seeded Spaulding 10-7 in a mild quarterfinal upset. Devlin Rutherford contributed another two goals and Colin Hoefle chipped in with one more for Middlebury. Asa Sargent didn’t score but did provide four assists while goalie Ross Lengyel made 13 saves for the Tigers, who enter the semifinals with a 12-4 record. Spaulding winds up the year at an impressive 13-3. After knocking off the tenth seeded Otter Valley Otters in the opening round the seventh seeded Vergennes Commodores didn’t fare so well in the quarterfinals. Last Friday at Hyde Park Spencer Hunt scored seven goals and registered three assists to lead his second seeded Lamoille Lancers to an easy 18-3 quarterfinal win over Vergennes. Tyler Donze added six goals and four assists for the Lancers who enter the semifinals at 16-1. Morgan Stinchfield had a goal and an assist for Vergennes while Ethan Baldwin and Brian Kilbride added goals and Tim Glassberg stopped seven shots for the Commodores, who finish the year at 9-8.

By Fred Pockette The Vermont Shrine Team, representing 36 of the finest senior football players in the state, was introduced last week and the only Addison County player on the roster is Middlebury Tiger ’s Sean Harrison. The 56th Annual Maple Sugar Bowl game will be played on the MacLeayRoyce Field in Windsor on Aug. 1, with the Vermont Senior Stars taking on Senior Stars from New Hampshire. Sean Harrison Vermont high school head coaches nominated more than 100 Vermont seniors and head coach; Mike Hatt of Springfield chaired a committee of several coaches from all the divisions that narrowed down the list to the final 36 player roster. The team met in March to review game plans and expectations and they will gear up for nothing less than double sessions at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H., July 22. Harrison will get a head start on preparations; he will be in Massachusetts early in July for The 2009 New England Elite Football Clinic. Harrison, a captain and 3-year starter for Tigers will be attending The Holderness School in Plymouth, NH for a Post Grad year in the fall where he will be playing football, hockey and baseball.

What is the greatest movie ever made? Although Orson Welles’ “Citizen Kane” (1941) regularly tops critics’ lists, French director Jean Renoir ’s “The Rules of the Game” (1939) is often a close second—and sometimes wins. Renoir ’s film wasn’t always so popular. An angry patron set fire to his newspaper during the picture’s premiere, apparently trying to burn down the theater. Audiences stormed out at subsequent screenings, and early criticism of the film was brutal. Why the initial negative reaction? Perhaps it was because of the film’s fiercely satirical focus. In film critic Roger Ebert’s words, Renoir portrayed the French ruling class “as silly adulterous twits, with the working class emulating them within their more limited means.” No wonder the French, on the verge of war with Nazi Germany, were upset. The last thing they needed was a Frenchman poking fun at their own loose morals and mores. Renoir, the son of French impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, survived both the second World War and the assault on his cinematic creation. His film was, in fact, an inspiration for Welles’ classic and for the “French New Wave” films of the late 1950s and 1960s. It’s as unforgettable as Charles Foster Kane’s “Rosebud.” Although you can watch “The Rules of the Game” on YouTube.com or on a Criterion DVD (avoid the VHS version), treat yourself to a real cinematic experience at Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater on June 14. Two French New Wave films roll into the Theater in subsequent weeks: François Truffaut’s “Shoot the Piano Player” (1960) on June 21, and Agnès Varda’s “Cléo From 5 to 7” (1962) on June 28. Each show starts at 8 pm and costs $5. The Theater is at 68 South Pleasant St. For further information, go to www.townhalltheater.org or call 382-9222.

The Barber of Seville in Middlebury T
45015
he Opera Company of Middlebury chose for its sixth production Rossini's perennial favorite, The Barber of Seville. Accustomed as I am to the ingenious staging by Douglas Anderson, artistic director of the company, I always look forward to the production. This time was no exception, even if it wasn't as seamless as, say, A Little Night Music. When it worked, however, at the performance on Friday night, June 5, it was delightful to be seen and the stage business enhanced the performance in general. The fact that Anderson works with young singers may be part of the success of the vigor of past productions. It certainly was a general attribute shared by
the singers in this production. By choosing young singers, however, the chance for jitters and their impact on the singing increases. Of the three acts, the third showed the greatest comedic comprehension on the part of the singers, as well as showing the singers’voices off to their best advantage. Insofar as the casting was concerned, the baritone and the basses in the cast displayed the most evidence of good solid technique paired with a willingness to take dramatic risks. Nathan Wentworth was a dive-intothe-wool Figaro, allowing himself to ad lib. several bits of stage business during the crescendo finale of the second act. He seemed very comfortable, although I'm sure he's more comfort-
able in Mozart's setting of the second Beaumarchais play in his Figaro trilogy. Stephanos Tsirakoglou did very well indeed with the role of Dr. Bartolo, and he gave some dignity and humanity to his characterization. Peter Campbell sang Basilio in a very dark bass voice, and he handled the comedy routine with aplomb. Stephen Lavonier made a distinctly positive impression as Fiorello. Jonathan Blalock was the Count Almaviva, and he handled the greatly demanding part with a mixture of finesse -- most of act three -- and inexperience.

self well. Meridith Ziegler was a pert and attractive young mezzo. She handled the fioriture with some freedom, and she is a fairly accomplished actress. She made a generally good impression. Mark Shapiro, even though he was working with musicians from the Burlington Chamber Orchestra, kept the music going but infrequently but noticeably did not establish tempi in advance. It took a few minutes for the orchestra to establish itself, but once it did, they did a yeoman's job with the music. In sum: gauging by the audience response, this was a stellar production of the work; gauging by the old curmudgeonly reviewer, this was the production that needed more rehearsal, both of the music at this stage business, because, with regard to music, it would have been nice if they could have handled the fioriture without having to mark down beats by stamping their collective foot on the downbeats There is a final performance June 11 at 8 p.m. in the Town Hall Theater, Middlebury. Burlington resident Dan Wolfe observes and critiques the local arts scene for The Eagle. His column appears weekly.

CHAMPLAIN VALLEY FAIR JUST SAY NO—Gov. Jim Douglas visited Rutland last week to discuss—with members of the Rutland County Pro Business Coalition and the general public—his reasons for vetoing the overbloated state budget that, he said, will “tax” cashstrapped Vermonters. Douglas attended three meetings in Rutland; one meeting, held at South Station, had 120 voters in attendance. Douglas also signed into law S26 and S125—the socalled Son of Sam and sexting laws. The bills became law at a ceremony held at Rutland City Police Department. Photo by Shawn Pemrick Photography

Dairy makes sense
products in general. "Dairy makes sense when times are tough," says Cundith. "Milk, for example, packs nine essential nutrients at only 25 cents per glass. Consumers should purchase more nutrientrich foods such as dairy, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats, and avoid empty-calorie foods that provide little or no nutrition at a high cost." Eating nutrient-rich foods means getting the most vitamins, minerals and other nutrients per serving without empty calories. Cundith points out that as consumers cut costs, they should look for foods that provide value from both economic and nutritional perspectives, instead of just shopping for lower-priced or discounted foods. For example, yogurt and flavored milk are excellent nutrient-rich choices. One eight ounce serving of yogurt provides nearly a third of your daily calcium needs, while sodas offer plenty of calories through added sugars with little nutrient value except through fortification. "Almost 40 percent of the survey respondents who reported purchasing fewer dairy products since the economic downturn said they believe they can get the necessary nutrition from other foods," says Cundith. "Yet, dairy provides four of the seven nutrients Americans are missing the most,
including calcium, potassium, magnesium and vitamin A." For more information, recipes and tips about banking on the basics by purchasing nutrient-rich foods to maintain a nutritious and well-balanced diet, log on to www.dairymakessense.com. Bang for the buck stretching dairy dollars: •Milk: Protein is one of the most expensive parts of the diet. Milk is one of the most economical sources of highquality protein and calcium, both of which are important for the growth and development of bones and teeth. Buy local milk by the gallon to stretch your dollar. An 8-oz. glass of milk costs about 25 cents, significantly less than the average sports drink. •Yogurt: Local yogurt can deliver nearly a third of your daily calcium needs in just one 8-oz. serving. Buy low-fat, plain yogurt by the quart. Flavor it yourself and use it as an ingredient for healthier recipes. •Cheese: Local cheese, with 8 grams of protein per ounce, is a nutrient-rich food. Cheese is most cost-effective when purchased in block form. Shred cheese over vegetables or casseroles or cut it into bite-size chunks for a quick snack.
Consumers are shifting priorities when making grocery purchase decisions in the current economy, according to a new survey released by the Dairy Council. According to the April survey† of 1,002 people, more than half of consumers say price, not nutrition, is the most important factor when grocery shopping in this economic climate. "This points to a need for more information about nutrient-rich foods, such as milk, cheese and yogurt, that deliver more bang for your buck than other options at the grocery store," says Stephanie Cundith, a registered dietitian with the council. "Dollar for dollar, dairy is actually one of the most economical sources of nutrition." New motivators in grocery shopping uncovered in this survey may point to a nutrition recession. Consumers say, by a margin of two to one, that shopping for discounted foods has increased in importance since the recession began. Some consumers are even choosing to reduce their purchases of basic, nutrient-rich foods, like dairy. More than one-third of respondents say they are buying less dairy

Photos From page 1 Ferrisburgh, a newly restored daguerreotype probably taken of Richardson Robinson in the late 1840s, reveals the detailed face of the man long obscured by image “foxing”. Daguerrotypes are the most fragile of photographic media. The first image of this type appeared in 1827. According to daguerreotype restorer Michel Vieil, “The daguerreian image is inscribed on a thin plate in copper which has been covered of a silver layer, then polished such as a mirror before being sensitized according to the process described by inventor Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre. “Very often, the replacement and resealing of a dag cover glass are enough to stop the causes of the progressive deterioration of a daguerreotype,” Vieil said.” In addition, the general cleaning of the dag that is done at the same time, adds to a spectacular improvement of its look.” “Daguerreotype images are so sharp,” Williamson reports. “You can really look into Thomas’s eyes—especially now that all the muck has been cleaned off! I almost expect to hear him speak.” According to museum sources, Thomas and Jemima Robinson moved their young family to the wilds of Ferrisburgh in 1793 and purchased the property that would be home to descendants well into the 20th century. “Thomas opened saw and grist mills on the Lewis Creek and in 1810 purchased some of the first Merino sheep to be imported into the United States, setting Rokeby on the path to distinction as one of the largest sheep farms in the region.” Rokeby would also become famous during the years leading up to the Civil War. Rowland Thomas and Rachel Gilpin Robinson were devout Quakers and radical abolitionists, according to the museum. They sheltered fugitive slaves at the Addison County farm during the the 1830s and 1840s. Williamson revealed the “before and after” daguerreotype of Thomas Richardson Robinson. The 19th-century image of the patriarch of the Rokeby Robinsons “is amazing,” she said. “Conservation of the image was funded by an American Heritage Preservation Grant offered through the Institute for Museum and Library Services in a joint effort with the Bank of America Foundation,” Williamson noted.
