Author launches new Vt. mystery series

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@ denpubs.com LUDLOW Ñ Based on some anecdotal comments we heard from a handful of area bookstore owners, Vermont readers love  mystery  fi ction;  the  genre  remains  a  strong  sales  indicator  for  independent booksellers. For example,  award-winning  Vermont author Archer MayorÑ whose popular Joe Gunther mystery series are a statewide favorite  among  readers  who  like their fi ction set in familiar places—has been a  consist bestseller here. Now,  Springfi eldbased author Stephen Seitz–no  stranger  to  the  mystery  genre—is  getting  into  the  Vermontplaced mystery act, too. Seitz penned the popular 2012 novel Ò Sherlock Holmes and the Plague of Dracula”, which matches  Holmes’  wit  against  the  infamous  vampire’s,  has  branched  out  into  new  territory  with  his  latest  novel, Ò Secrets CanÕ t Be Kept ForeverÓ . For  journalists  toiling  away  in  small  towns  covering  church  suppers  and Little League games,  Seitz’s  new  mystery  series’  main  character,  Ace  Herron—a crime reporter  for a Vermont weekly newspaper—is  a  Jimmy  Breslin  wanna  be’s  daydream come true.

MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Marbleworks  Pharmacy  in  Middlebury  was  robbed  July  24.  According  to Middlebury Police, at approximately  5:09  p.m.,  an  unidentifi ed  white male walked into the pharmacy in the historic Marbleworks  shopping  center  and  displayed  a  handgun;  the  suspect  demanded  prescription  drugs  from  employees behind the counter. Middlebury  Police  Det.  Kris  Bowdish said no one was injured;  the  individual  left  the  drug  store  with  an  undisclosed  amount  of  prescription drugs.  “He  was  last  seen  running  south  on  the  railroad  tracks  that  run adjacent to the Marbleworks shopping  complex,”  according  to  a  police  news  report  written  by  Bowdish.

Hunt, shoot , fish—these women can take care of themselves By Elicia Mailhiot

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — In  1942,  Rosie  the  Riveter  was  introduced  to  the  American  public  and  immediately  became  a  symbol  for  women who had taken over male delegated jobs during World  War  II.  One  government  advertisement  phrased  the  question:  “Can you use an electric mixer? If so, you can learn to operate  a drill.” In  1995,  Eric  Nuse  of  the  Vermont  Fish  and  Wildlife  Department noticed during the first “Becoming an Outdoors Woman”  (BOW) weekend that there was a need for women that was much more than the clinics could offer.  “BOW  seemed  to  be  a  good  first  step  in  breaking  down  the  barriers, but for many women, it wasn’t enough. For them there  was still a gap between BOW and actually going out and hunting, shooting, fishing or fully enjoying nature,” said Nuse. A year later, Vermont Outdoor Women was born. The goal was to break down the barrier described by Nuse.  The next few years were successful, but the organization realized in order to maintain that level of success, help was needed.  VOGA, the Vermont Outdoor Guide Association, stepped in and  reorganized  the  organization  into  a  division  of  the  association  and renamed it Vermont Outdoors Woman, or VOW, which now  operates out of North Ferrisburg. Since  then,  VOW  has  made  it  a  goal  to  provide  access  to  a  broad range of outdoor resources, as well as “build participant  self-confidence” and “connect women with similar interests,” ac-

VOW hosts many events throughout the year, including a fittingly  titled  “Doe  Camp.”  These  weekend  retreats  occur  semiannually, with the next one scheduled for Sept. 27-29 in Canaan.  Over  35  classes  will  be  available,  including  fly  fishing,  mountain biking, firearms, kayaking,  and  birding.  New  classes  this  year  include  turkey  hunting  and  calling,  panning  for  gold,  stand up paddle boarding, and  a nine hour handgun personal  defense  course,  according  to  Gray  Stevens,  executive  direc-

tor of VOGA. For $349, each woman signs up for four workshops. Discounts  are  available  for  mothers  and  daughters,  military  families,  and  girlfriend groups of three or more. Most that attend Doe Camp consider it a life changing experience—just  ask  Benson  resident  Martha  Dukeshire  Savageau,  who attended in 2008.  According  to  Savageau,  learning  to  build  a  fire  was  high  on  her bucket list. It was at camp she learned to do just that with the  help of her instructor Sarah. “Sarah and VOW helped me reach a life-long personal goal,”  she writes in a letter shared on the organization’s website. Savageau  was  also  able  to  share  her  experience  with  her  husband,  Ron  and  his  eighth  grade class when she was able to  teach  them  everything  she  learned, from types of wood to measurement of tools for the fire kit. “You have given me a gift to  share with others.  I am forever  humbled  by  your  impact  on  my life and eternally grateful,”  she said. Nearly  a  decade  ago,  Eric  Nuse  realized  there  was  a  deficit in outdoor programs for  women. The women at BOW weekend knew how to use an electric mixer; they just needed  the tools to learn to operate the drill themselves. Vermont Outdoors Woman has succeeded in  doing just that.

‘Shoreham’ is new addition to American history series By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com SHOREHAM Ñ One of the most treasured series of photo books in the USA are the popular  Images  of  America  trade-paperbacks  released  by  South  Carolina-based  Arcadia  Publishing.   A  clever  idea,  this  book  series  showcases  vintage photos from around America; in many instances, the books provide interested residents  of cities and towns with a rich, visual record of  what came before. Many  Vermont  communities  are  already  a  part  of  the  Images  of  America  series—mostly  recently Middlebury and Bristol.  The latest to be added to the series is Shoreham,  Vt.,  an  agricultural  town  which  was  carved out of the wilderness along Lake Champlain by settlers beginning in 1761. Assigned the task of assembling “Shoreham”  for Arcadia  was  local  teacher  Susan    Holt  MacIntire, also Shoreham’s town historian.  MacIntire has written two other books about  Shoreham history; she is clearly the ideal chronicler for this new book. MacIntire  brings  her  wealth  of  knowledge  of  the  subject  along  with  access  to  over  200  vintage images culled from the Shoreham Historical  Society,  area  libraries  and  museums,  and never-before-seen contributions from local  residents. All  of  this  makes  the  book  a  superb  addition  to  the  publisher’s  growing  library  of  Vermont visual history. As  you’ll  learn  in  the  book,  Shoreham  is  36-square miles in size and boasts some of the

most  fertile  farm  land  in  the  Champlain Valley.  Through  the  photos  and  detailed  captions  in MacIntire’s book, you’ll discover that there’s  more to Shoreham than just applesÑ even though there are still lots of orchard-related images in the book to satisfy the most demanding  of cider makers. According to MacIntire, Shoreham morphed  from being Vermont’s largest sheep producer— during  the  early  1800s—to  primarily  apple  orchards  and  dairy  farms  by  the  early  1900s,  although—sadly—agriculture  has  been  in  slow  decline  in  the  area,  and  elsewhere,  in  recent  decades. In  its  day,  Shoreham  had  woolen  mills,  a  hydro-powered ironworks, limestone quarries,  even  a  few  unusual  enterprises  you’ll  learn  about in the book. MacIntire sets out the story of Shoreham by  including  its  sole  U.S.  congressman,  its  two  state governors, and its one U.S. vice president.  Since  we  don’t  like  plot  spoilers,  you’ll  have  to  pick  up  a  copy  of  “Shoreham”  to  find  out  the  identities  of  these  four  notable  gentlemen  (you’ll be surprised when you find out). Also  included  in  MacIntire’s  book  is  a  rich  collection of pictures of everyday life and work  in  Shoreham  Village,  Larrabee’s  Point,  Richville, East Shoreham, farmsteads and orchards,  and  schools.  The  town’s  notable  residents  are  also featured. “Shoreham” debuts Aug. 12 and will be available in bookstores, through independent retailers, and online at www.arcadiapublishing.com.

Vintage Shoreham: Shoreham resident Byron Sunderland was an American Presbyterian minister; he served as chaplain of the U.S. Senate during the Civil War. Shoreham’s famous residents are featured in the new book , “Shoreham”, part of the Images of America series.

Four lanes and no place to go

R

ecently, I embarked on a trans-Vermont auto trek along U.S. Route 4Ñ traveling west to east—to get a better  sense of this historic highway that was recently  designated  as  “The  Crossroad  of  Vermont  Byway.”  Sounds  quaint,  doesn’t  it?  But  a  drive  along  this  road  becomes  more  frustrating  for  the  motorist  as  you  move  west  to  east—from  four  lanes  to  two  through  various  pockets  of  congestion, such as Rutland and Woodstock. Venerable  U.S.  Route  4  starts  in  East  Greenbush,  N.Y.,  and  runs  253  miles  to  its  end  at  Portsmouth, N.H. Along the way it crosses Vermont, but there’s only 66 miles of the route here  although  it  traverses  some  of  the  northeast’s  most beautiful landscapes. Entering Fair Haven, Vt., via Hampton, N.Y.,  Route  4  welcomes  the  driver  with  four  lanes  of  a  superbly  paved  modern  highway  (with  the  section  from  Interstate  87’s  Northway  to  the Vermont state line being  not  much  to  brag  about). By the time a motorist reaches the end of the  65-mph zoned, four-lane segment of Route 4— terminating  at  the  entrance  to  Rutland’s  Diamond  Run  Mall—he  is  thrust  onto  congested  U.S. Route 7. For  a  few  miles  along  Route  7  (shared  with  Route  4)  through  Rutland’s  busy  commercial  corridor, the driver must wend his way north to  reconnect, again, with Route 4 (Woodstock Avenue); then move on to Killington, Woodstock,  and—one  hopes—an  effortless  connection  to  Interstate 89 on the state’s eastern side. Today’s Route 4 has prehistoric origins; it began as a footpath for Paleo-Indians. As an Indian path, the route crossed both the  Taconic  and  Green  mountains. Along  the  way,  Native  Americans  traded,  hunted,  and  fi shed  and, in some places, set up seasonal camps and  several transient villages. Apparently,  American  colonists  weren’t  too  familiar with the lay of the land along the future  Route 4 corridor until the 18th century. In fact,  one of the earliest records of whites along Route  4 dates to as late as 1748. It’s likely that this rugged wilderness region  prevented  much Anglo  adventuring  (although  French Army scouts and trappers probably knew  the  terrain  and  only  a  tiny  segment  of  the Crown Point Military Road crossed today’s  Route 4 in the West Rutland area). In  1748,  Massachusetts-born  Royal  military  explorer,  Capt.  Phineas  Stevens  (1706-1756),  and  a  fellow  offi cer  named  Capt.  Hobbes,  scaled the Green Mountains above Rutland and

August 3, 2013

then traveled, on foot, all the way to the New Hampshire border. The  trailblazing  Stevens-Hobbes  expedition  lasted  nearly  a  week  and  it  demonstrated  that  an overland route to the Connecticut River was  possible.  Interestingly,  Capt.  Stevens  was  best  known as being one of the builders of Fort No.  4,  located  across  the  Connecticut  River  from  Vermont. This fort was featured in the bestselling novel, “Northwest Passage” about Robert’s  Rangers. Just  one  year  prior  to  Stevens  and  Hobbes’  mountain trek east of Rutland, Stevens had become  a  local  hero  by  gallantly  defending  Fort  No. 4 against a brutal attack by French soldiers  and their Indian allies. After  the  Stevens  and  Hobbes  expedition,  there wasn’t much white activity along Route 4  for nearly two decades. Then,  in  1770,  settler  James  Mead  built  a  cabin—in  Center  Rutland—at  Mead’s  Falls  on  Otter Creek. A log fort was later built (and later  dismantled), and by the early 1800s, sections of  future Route 4 were already operating as welltraveled turnpikes and free ways for horseback  and stagecoach travelers. Since  that  time,  Route  4  has  held  a  lot  of  promise,  but  in  many  ways—at  least  by  our  21st-century  automotive  standards—it  is  woefully inadequate. For  while  Route  4  serves  its  purpose  as  an  east-west  corridor  through  Vermont,  there’s  a  lot to be desired for modern travelers between  the two interstate highways, east and west of it  in (I-89 in Vermont and I-87 in New York) Regarding  that  four-lane  section  of  Route  4,  located  between  Fair  Haven  and  Rutland,  it  is  said  that  plans  in  the  1960s  would  have  connected Vermont to Interstate 87 via a four-lane  New  York  segment  of  Route  4.  (At  highway  speeds, you can barely glimpse the unfi nished,  abandoned connector cut near the Vermont Welcome  Center  in  Fair  Haven;  it’s  now  fi lled  with growing trees and thick underbrush). Alas,  for  whatever  political  or  fi nancial  reasons given by either Vermont or New York over  the  years,  the  grand  idea  of  a  superhighway  from  Whitehall,  N.Y.  to  Rutland  fell  fl at  on  its  face (here in Vermont, old timers who remember  the  ‘60s  plan  still  blame  politicians  in  Albany for its failure). Thus,  today’s  Fair  Haven-to-Rutland  freeway is essentially a highway to nowhere. Well,  “nowhere” that is, if you consider what might  have been. Lou Varricchio

STEAMBOATIN’ — More than 25 members of the North American Steam Boat Association arrived at the marina of the River’s Edge Cottages and Campground along Otter Creek last week. A dozen elegant steamboats, modeled after real and fictional Victorian- and Edwardianera predecessors—such as Humphrey Bogart’s “African Queen” and Sherlock Holmes “Aurora”—steamed up and down the river between the Vergennes Basin and Lake Champlain.

Classic motorboat owners visit Vergennes By W. Beall

newmarketpress@denpubs.com VERGENNES Ñ Members of the Richardson  Boat  Owners  Association visited Vergennes last weekend  selecting the Little City as the site of  their 2013 summer rendezvous.  Several  of  the  classic  U.S.  made  motorboats  boats  in  the  harbor  below the falls July 26-27. Several members stayed at the Strong House and joined other members on a visit to the Vermont Maritime Museum. Association members  were clearly visible in town proudly  displaying  their  RBOA  shirts.  On  Saturday the members will be at the  dock  judging  the  two  boats  that  attend. One  of  the  boats  taking  part  in  the reunion was local and docked at  Marble Island Marina in Mallets Bay.  The  1932,  30-foot-long  cruiser  has  been  owned  by  Edward  R  Winant  for 27 years.  Another  boat  visiting  the  basin  was  the  1942,  31-foot-long  Louise  II  owned  by  Don  Richardson  from  Jamestown,  Long  Island,  N.Y.  Their  journey  to  the  meeting  was  arduous as the visitors had to transverse  Narragansett Bay and Long Island Sound, about a five day run. All Richardson boats in Vergennes  were  built  in  North  Tonawanda,  N.Y.,  by  George  Reid  Richardson  from 1909 until 1962.  In  the  late  1950s,  Richardson  joined  with  Avro  Aircraft  in  Canada  and  developed  an  aluminumplanked  hull  which  was  released  in  1960. The  Richardson  Boat  Owners Association  was  organized  in  1973  to  promote  the  preservation  of  Richardson  Boats.  It  is  one  of  the  oldest  marquee  boating  organization’s  in  the country. Members get together at various  locations  three  times  a  year  usually on the east coast to share their boating adventures. The group  publishes  a  newsletter  four  times  a  year.

Members of the Richardson Boat Owners Association picked Vergennes as the site of their 2013 summer rendezvous. The classic motorboat owners were moored in the Vergennes Basin below the falls July 26-27. Richardson boats were built in North Tonawanda, N.Y., by George Reid Richardson between 1909 and 1962.

Letters

Beeman Elementary School

To the editor: I was sent a note by a friend which indicated that the Beeman Elementary School in New Haven would be looking for  a new principal. I was very sad to learn that Steve Flint would  not be in the school for the children in September. I worked as a consultant in the school last year and the atmosphere  there  was  the  best  in  any  place  I  have  been  for  a  long time. I do believe that Beeman is one of the happiest places for  children in all of Vermont. Yes, it can grow in academics; with  the atmosphere the Mr. Flint created, it will. It is just sad that  he will not continue to be a part of it. I have no idea what Mr. Flint’s plans are, but whatever they  are I whish him the very best. Jim Callahan Middlebury

Report: Vermont ranks no. 9 in U.S. in solar power But not everything solar is rosy From News & Staff Reports

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND  —  The  Environment  America  Research  &  Policy  Center,  in  partnership  locally  with  the  Vermont  Public  Interest  Research Group (VPIRG), released “Lighting the Way: What We  Can  Learn  from  America’s  Top  12  Solar  States”,  a  new  report  highlighting a solar energy boom across the country. The  report  ranks  Vermont  ninth  in  the  nation  for  per  capita  solar installations. This makes Vermont one of a dozen states that  have led the nation in solar energy with supportive policies and  a commitment to continued expansion. Solar  is  on  the  rise  across  the  country,  according  to  the  U.S.  Solar Market Insight 2012 Year-in-Review report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and GTM Research; America  has  more  than  three  times  as  much  solar  capacity  as  it  did  in  2010, and more than 10 times as much as it did in 2007. SEIA also found that the price to install a solar system fell by  26 percent in 2012. The  report  emphasizes  that  it  is  not  availability  of  sunlight  that makes states solar leaders, but the degree to which state and  local governments have created effective public policy for the development of the solar industry. Other states profiled in the report include Arizona, California,  Colorado,  Hawaii,  Maryland,  Delaware,  Nevada,  New  Jersey,  New Mexico, North Carolina and Massachusetts. While  these  12  states  account  for  only  28  percent  of  the  U.S.  population, they make up 85 percent of the nation’s installed solar energy. But not everything is rosy in the U.S. solar industry— American-made  materials  still  lag  behind  foreign  makers.  In  fact, most P.V. solar panels here are now made in China.

According  to  a  recent  MIT  Energy  Initiative  report,  “In  the  past  decade,  the  massive  expansion  of  China’s  production  and  export  of  silicon  photovoltaic  cells  and  panels  has  cratered  the  price of those items globally, creating tension between China and  the  United  States,  and,  more  recently,  China  and  the  European  Union...  Over  the  last  decade,  manufacturing  of  P.V.  cells  and  panels  expanded  in  China,  boosting  supply  globally.  The  flood  of solar panels, combined with a slipping subsidized demand for  solar  energy  (especially  in  Europe),  lowered  the  global  market  price to unsustainable levels.”

And  according  to  various  news  reports,  taxpayers  remain  keenly aware of the failures of the likes of heavily government  subsidized firms such as Solyndra. Despite the Solyndra failure,  the Department of Energy is going ahead with a $1.2-billion loan  guarantee to California-based Mojave Solar for the development  of the giant Mojave Solar Power Station Also,  in  several  states,  much  of  the  investment  in  a  homemounted  solar-power  system  may  be  lost  if  the  homeowner  moves and the buyer puts less value on the system than the seller.

The report ranks Vermont ninth in the nation for per capita solar installations. This makes Vermont one of a dozen states that have led the nation in solar energy with supportive policies and a commitment to continued expansion.

A SPECIAL SWIM

Brother, sister duo follow in dad’s footsteps By Claire Durham

denpubs@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — On a warm Tuesday, July 9, a brother-and sister duo swam the 8-mile stretch between Willsboro Point, New  York and Shelburne Point, Vermont. Matthew Weiskotten, 26, and Shauna Weiskotten, 24, were recreating a special swim, while their mother, father, and sister followed them in a motorboat. Ò About 22 years ago, my dad swam across the lake and so for a long time, I wanted to see if I could do it,” Matt said.  “I remember him [my dad] setting out and just looking across  the lake and thinking ‘there’s no way somebody could do that, it  just seems impossible,’” Shauna said, “and I guess when I got to  about [age] 12 or something it occurred to me that ‘hey maybe I  could do that too.Õ Ó Their father, Ron Weiskotten, swam across the lake on July 23,  1991. “I  remember  the  stretch  between  the  Four  Brother  [Islands]  and Juniper seemed like a long stretch, and then one of the things  I did was I went around the north end of Juniper and Matt and  Shauna went around the south end,” Ron said.  After  coming  around  the  islands,  Ron  ended  up  more  in  the  boating lanes so his wife, Jeanne, who was his guide in the motorboat,  stayed  close  to  him  to  let  other  boats  know  where  he  was. At  one  point  he  had  to  swim  out  of  the  way  of  the  Ethan  Allen. “It wasn’t a close call, but you know when you see it coming at  you it’s interesting,” Ron said. After making it to Shelburne, Ron remembers how good it felt  just to walk up on shore and to know he made his goal. But he  didn’t  fathom  that  his  children,  who  were  5  and  3  at  the  time,  would follow suit. “I never dreamed someday they’d [Matt and Shauna] be doing  it like they are and it was wonderful to see them doing it,” Ron  said. “They kept up a beautiful pace, just going and going and  going. They were waiting for each other and at times they were  almost swimming almost next to each other and I think that was  definitely a benefit.” To train for the swim, Matt and Shauna built up their endurance. Matt works as a lifeguard at his local YMCA so he often swims  after work.  “I have spent the last couple months preparing for this swim  by working myself up to 100 laps a day for 5 days a week,” he  said.  Shauna was on the JV swim team in high school, so she knew  she had to mentally as well as physically prepare to swim that  length. “I  started  training  around  January  through  maybe  half  of  March,  but  then  I  got  really  busy  with  job  interviewing,”  she  said,  “so  when  I  got  into  the  water,  I  was  thinking  ‘I’ll  swim  along as far as I can.Õ Ó At  just  after  1  p.m.  on  Tuesday,  they  started  out  from  their  grandparent’s  summer  home  in  Willsboro;  Matt,  clad  in  just  swimming  trunks,  and  Shauna,  wearing  a  swim  cap,  goggles,  and a Speedo swimsuit. Ron drove the boat, while Jeanne watched them and their sis-

ter, Leanna, handed them Gatorade to keep them hydrated.  “The lake was beautiful, it was nice and calm the whole way.  The thing we watched out for was logs but of course at the speed  we were going there wasn’t much danger,” Ron said. “At  first  I  was  thinking  it  was  too  warm,  but  then  I  kind  of  realized once we got past Juniper and the lake was colder, which  felt nicer, my muscles started cramping more,” Shauna said, “so  I  was  actually  grateful  that  it  had  been  really  warm  the  whole  way.Ó However,  some  stormy  conditions  appeared  early  into  the  swim.  “When  we  got  a  little  ways  out,  maybe  around  the  [Four  Brother]  Islands,  it  started  looking  more  and  more  stormy  toward  the  New  York  side  and  of  course  the  swimmers  weren’t  aware of that, they were too focused on Vermont,” Jeanne said.  They could hear a little bit of thunder, but once past the Four  Brother Islands, they could see the storm start to dissipate. But  the wind, which had been a very light Southeast wind, suddenly  switched a little more to the south. “A little bit of waves came up, but then we could see the calm  water ahead and they [Matt and Shauna] kept kind of swimming  back  into  the  calm  water  so  we  stayed  out  of  any  major  problems,” Jeanne said.

“For me the hardest part was that my muscles were cramping  up because they weren’t used to swimming such a long period of  time,” Shauna said,  “so I made sure I drank plenty of water and  Gatorade and really focused on mind over matter and relaxing  my muscles.Ó “Once I got out to Juniper, I was like ‘there’s no way I’m not  going the whole way now,’” she added. Along  with  keeping  watch  out  for  debris  in  the  path  of  the  boat or swimmers, Ron said that he, his wife, and his daughter  were constantly on the lookout for boats. “We had a couple of jet skies come around and they changed  direction quickly,” Ron said, “we want to make sure that if somebody  starts  coming  at  us,  that  the  boat  is  between  whatever  is  coming at us and the swimmers.” “We  did  maneuver  that  way  a  few  times,  particularly  there  was  a  boat  that  swung  around  Shelburne  Point  and  suddenly  starting coming at Matt,” he added. Ron gunned their motorboat and got in between his son and  the other watercraft. “I  don’t  know  which  direction  they  would’ve  gone  but  they  ended  up  veering  off,”  he  said,  “that  was  probably  the  biggest  surprise because they kind of came out of nowhere and it was a  speedboat and they were going pretty good.” The brother and sister made it successfully to Shelburne Point  a little after 5 p.m. Jeanne remembers when Matt got to the other side: he climbed  up on the beach just past the point in Shelburne and put his arms  up while shouting “Yo Adrian I did it,” a line made popular from  the movie Rocky. “They  both  kind  of  whooped  as  they  got  to  the  other  side,”  Jeanne said. For  the  future,  both  brother  and  sister  aren’t  sure  if  they’ll  set goals to swim to other points on the lake, but for now Matt  summed up the feeling each of them share: “I think that’s pretty  much it, I might swim across again someday, but I wanted to see  if I could make it.”

Vermont Eagle - 11

Cleaner air, stronger economy with natural gas Guest Viewpoint By Eileen Simollardes

V

ermonters  want  a  cleaner,  healthier  environment  and  expanded economic opportunities for families and employers.  We  also  want  the  ability  to  compare  options  equally when deciding how to heat our homes and fuel our businesses, with an eye toward strengthening the environment and  saving money. Vermont Gas has proposed expanding its natural gas pipeline  to bring more affordable, cleaner energy to more Vermonters and  significantly  increase  Vermont’s  ability  to  build  and  sustain  vibrant economies in Addison and Rutland counties. But does this  meet our goal of saving money and strengthening the environment? In a word, yes. We know natural gas has less sulfur than the oil we burn and  now  a  new  independent  study,  the  first  full  “apples  to  apples”

study to compare fuel oil and natural gas shows us that natural  gas has 23% lower emissions. The study evaluates both fuels for  Vermont,  taking  into  account  both  methane  and  CO2  on  a  lifecycle basis, and natural gas is the clear winner.  Are  these  results  surprising?  No.  The  results  are  consistent  with other information from the Environmental Protection Agency,  the  Energy  Information  Administration  and  other  studies  showing natural gas’ favorable emissions. This is one of the reasons why natural gas is a key component of Vermont’s long-term  Energy Plan and of President Obama’s new Climate Action Plan.  The president’s plan in particular illustrates the vital role natural  gas plays in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while transitioning to a more responsible and sustainable energy future. Additionally,  Vermont  homeowners  and  renters  can  save  up  to $2,000 per year compared to heating with fuel oil, and eligible  low-income customers can save another 20 percent. Vermont employers also can save energy and money, allowing them to create  more jobs and reinvest in their employees, businesses and communities.

Residents and businesses all save with Vermont Gas’ awardwinning  energy-efficiency  programs  that  further  reduce  emissions and save millions of dollars more annually. These local economic benefits, coupled with the significant environmental advantages, are why natural gas plays an important  role in state and federal energy policy, and in a healthier, cleaner  and more sustainable environmental future. Vermonters make decisions based on facts. The Addison Natural Gas Project clearly lowers greenhouse gas emissions while expanding access to a more affordable fuel source. There is no other  project -proposed or underway - anywhere in Vermont that has  the economic and environmental benefits of the Addison Natural  Gas Project. Vermonters  deserve  the  choice  to  convert  to  clean,  safe  and  more affordable natural gas. To  learn  more  about  the  project,  please  visit  www.AddisonNaturalGas.com EditorÕ s note: Eileen Simollardes is a vice president of Vermont Gas and the director of the Addison Natural Gas Project.

Greenwood, is an owner of the Book Nook on Main Street in Ludlow—is Seitz’s friend. He  believes the series will hit it out of the park. “In  this  debut  mystery,”  Stearns  said,  “Ace  follows  developments  concerning  the  disappearance  of  a  radio-station  sales  manager  who  appears  to  have  embezzled  a  large  sum  of  money from his employer (and then vanishes). Ace digs into the case and finds much more  than a man on the run.Ó Seitz ought to know the smarmy goings on in small Vermont towns well enough to generate some terrific storylines. He has made his professional reputable reputation covering local  news  in  the  Upper  Connecticut  Valley  since  1997,  where  he  wrote  for  the  Eagle  Times  (no  relation) and the New Hampshire Union Leader.   According to Seitz, “I have been able to bring a more honest portrayal of what it’s like to  work at a newspaper than the endless clichés seen in movies and on television.” Amen. The first appearance of “Secrets Can’t Be Kept Forever” will be at the Book Nook in Ludlow with the world premiere book launch set for Thursday Aug. 1, 4-6 p.m.   Seitz said he will be available to sign copies of his books and he plans to read a few whiteknuckle pages from this, the first Ace Herron mystery.

Bowdish said the male is in his 20s, approximately 5’11” in height, with a thin, muscular body  type. He was wearing a green “hoodie” sweatshirt with “Maine” logos imprinted on both the shirt  front and sleeve. “He was wearing a baseball-style hat, very dark sunglasses, sneakers, and khaki-colored pants,”  according to Bowdish’s report. “He was clean shaven and polite during the incident and was carrying a black backpack.” Police are asking the public for information which will lead to the arrest of the person involved  in the robbery. Contact the Middlebury Police Dept. by telephone at 802-388-3191 or via e-mail at  kbowdish@middleburypolice.org.

Each  dog  entry  is  $5  and  a  donation  is  requested for the people who attend.  There will  be  free  swim  throughout  the  event  (for  dogs  only)  along  with  games  (fastest  doggy  paddle  and a dog jumping contest), vendors, free doggy frozen yogurt samples, and more.   All  dogs  must  be  leashed  unless  swimming  in the pool. Vermont law requires all dogs to be  up to date on their rabies shots.  Puppies under  four  months  old  and  dogs  in  heat  will  not  be  allowed to enter. Any aggressive dog will be asked to leave.  It  will  be  held  rain  or  shine  and  will be a fun time for the whole  family, especially the dog.   A  special  thank  you  to  the  Rutland  Recreation  and  Parks  Department  for  donating  the  use of the pool. If you have any questions or  need  additional  information  please  contact  the  RCHS  Business  Office  at  802-483-9171  or  www.rchsvt.org. We hope to see  you  and  your  favorite  water  lovin’  canine Aug.  25  for  a  splashing good time.
