Middlebury’s big dig: Tour deep inside the Omya Middlebury Quarry Saturday, Oct. 19, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The quarry is located on the east side of U.S. Route 7 between Foster Motors and Connor Homes. File photo
MIDDLEBURY Ñ Ò When you live next to one of the worldÕ s largest holes in the ground, you kind of take it for granted,Ó according to David Foster of Middlebury. Foster is looking forward to OmyaÕ s Middlebury Quarry Open House to be held Saturday, Oct. 19, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. It’s the first public event at the open pit since 2011; it will cap off Earth Science Week 2013 in Vermont. Now a retired member of the famous Addison County dairy family, Foster used to furnish downtown MiddleburyÕ s CalviÕ s Ice Cream Parlor with his nonpareil homemade ice cream. Today, while FosterÕ s health keeps him indoors, he still has an interest in the quarry next door. OmyaÕ s quarryÑ which produces calcium carbonate or marbleÑ has seen a lot of physical changes over the years; it is located on former Foster family farmland. Up until just a few years ago, David Foster used to take friends on a thrilling, offroad pickup-truck tour on Foster land in order to peek into the big pit. According to Jim Stewart, OmyaÕ s Verpol plant manager based in Florence, Vt., the quarry has been commercially quarried since at least the mid 1960s. Prior to that, local folks used the calcium carbonate for lime and fill around farms. Omya CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

News program celebrates anniversary on PEGTV By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com Rutland Ñ For a local cable-TV news program, PEGTVÕ s ACCESS has gained a loyal following from Brandon to Poultney. The weekly half-hour news magazine, hosted by anchor Amanda Wheeler, is celebrating its third anniversary this fall. In the history of cable programming in Vermont, three years is milestone moment. Considering all the programs that come and go on the cable airwaves, PEGTV is proud of its public affairs offering. According to PEGTVÕ s Stacy Kent, ACCESS made its debut on Channel 15 in September2010 with the purpose of showcasing events, activities and people of Rutland County. Ò Amanda Wheeler is the host and producer of ACCESS, and since launching the show she and her production team have traversed the county covering a wide range of stories, including Tropical Storm Irene, blind athletes skiing at Pico Mountain, HeARTs of Rutland, a float plane pilot landing on Lake Bomoseen, the Northeast School bat project at Pine Hill Park and even giant pumpkin farmers in Benson,Ó Kent noted. From the hostÕ s perspective, the program has brought herÑ and her subject matterÑ a lot of local attention. Ò It has been a privilege over the past three years to get out into the different communities across Rutland County and meet new people, hear their stories and get to know the landscape of the county on a more personal level,Ó Wheeler told the Eagle.
ACCESS follows the formula of other cable programs, but it also has a style all its own. Included are regular news segmentsÑ covering issues, events and people—and a focus on non-profit activities and fundraising events and activities. According to Kent, Ò Several new segments have been added, including Ô A Senior MomentÕ with tips on healthy aging, Ô Sound SessionsÕ shining a spotlight on local musicians, plus Ô Garden VarietyÕ , Ô Hometown HeroesÕ and Ô Golf TipsÕ .Ó The varied segments provide local viewers with in depth profiles of people in the community often ignored by bigger media. Perhaps the biggest success of ACCESS is the fact that it has reached its own goal of becoming a financially self-sustaining production. “Rutland Regional Medical Center first signed on in January of 2012 as the showÕ s exclusive sponsor,Ó according to Kent. Ò In January of this year, ACCESS welcomed Castleton State College and Rutland Area Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice as seg-
ment sponsors. The partnerships have provided more than just financial support; they generate valuable leads on stories, new segment ideas, and expert collaboration in important areas such as healthcare, education, aging and more.Ó PEGTV Executive Director Michael Valentine said that without the support of local underwriters, programs like ACCESS could not be produced New ACESS episodes premiere every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. and repeat at 9 p.m.; Fridays at 10 a.m. and 9 p.m.; Saturdays at 3:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. and now Sundays at 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Ò You can also watch ACCESS anytime via your computer, smart phone or tablet on PEGTVÕ s video on demand player located on their website www.pegtv.com,Ó Kent said. PEGTV is comprised of Channels 15, 20 and 21 and is available to all cable subscribers throughout Rutland County. Streaming programming, video on demand services and hyper-local weather forecasts are also available online at www.pegtv.com.

Above the Arctic Circle with Jim Squires By Anne Majusiak
Special to the Eagle BRISTOL Ñ The One World Library Project, located at the Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol, will sponsor Ò Land of the Midnight Sun: Summer Travels to the ArcticÓ , a special visual event on Thursday, Oct. 17, 7-8:30 p.m. During the free presentation, Charlotte resident Jim Squires will show some of his spectacular images of the Arctic landscape and will talk about an adventure of a lifetime that took him to NorwayÕ s Svalbard archipelago above the Arctic Circle. Squires describes himself as a passionate, self-mistaught photographer with insatiable wanderlust. Last summer, when Squires was invited by a friend to be part of this Arctic adventure, a BBC filmmaker warned him to have plenty of extra memory available on his computer to store all the images he might take. He wasnÕ t kidding, and Squires is eager to share many of his favorite photographs from his journey and describe the changing landscape above the Arctic Circle. Squires considers himself fortunate to be able to combine two passions, diving and photography, into a dream hobby of underwater photography. He has won several competitions through a combination of understanding the subject and its environment, perseverance, creative view-finding, and being in the right place at the right time with the right equipment. At BurlingtonÕ s Waterfront Diving Center, where is one of the senior diving instructors, his photographs have adorned the walls for many years. Squires is recognized nationally as an early education expert and currently serves as Senior Research Fellow for the National Institute for Early Education Research at Rutgers University. BristolÕ s One World Library Project is described as a Ò world library within a libraryÓ with adult and children’s collections of books, films, and other media about world cultures. Project items are available for community members to check out at the Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol.

MT. HOLLY Ñ On Oct. 6, members of the Mt. Holly Rescue Squad, Mt. Holly Fire Department, and Regional Ambulance Service, and the Vermont State Police responded to an accident along Route 103, just east of the Route 140 intersection. Jaiden Paige, 33, of Rutland, was driving west on Route 103 when his vehicle crossed into the opposite lane where David Savard, 55, of Wallingford was driving east. Both drivers swerved prior to impact and their vehicle sideswiped each other causing significant damage. Airbags in both vehicles deployed. Savard had to be removed from his vehicle; he was taken to the Rutland Regional Medi-
cal Center for evaluation and later released. Paige was transported to the hospital and later released. Both men were wearing seatbelts. Both vehicles were a total loss. Police said PaigeÕ s vehicle was four feet into the opposite lane at the time of the impact. Further investigation of the crash is pending, however, driver fatigue was found to play a role in the crash.

The flip side of infinity
uring the late 1960s and through the 1970s, Vermont, not unlike California, was a fermenting experiment in anti-establishment politics, communal living, organic farming, and Aquarian Age thinking. Not too long ago, I was chatting with a 67-year-old, self described Ò old hippieÓ named Jon. After our discussion, I told him IÕ d like to write about it. Ò Just donÕ t use my real name,Ó he said. OK, Jon, here it isÑ Jon had moved to Cornwall from Westchester County, N.Y., back in 1969. He recalled that his mystical awakening occurred in Vermont after reading a series of bestselling New Age books about altered states of consciousness and psychotropic drugs written by the late UCLA anthropologist Carlos Castaneda. The books Jon referred toÑ supposedly works of non fiction—discuss a series of meetings between the author and an old man named Don Juan Matus, a Yaqui Indian shaman. The most popular titles in the series include, Ò The Teachings of Don JuanÓ , Ò A Separate RealityÓ , and Ò Journey to IxtlanÓ . His last book, published the same year in which he died, was a capstone to the seriesÑ titled Ò The Active Side of Infinity”. Matus, as readers discover, lived in the Sonora Desert along the desolate border of Mexico and the U.S. The author claimed he spent time studying Yaqui mysticism under the guidance of the mysterious Don Juan; he even went so far as to ingest concoctions of peyote/mescaline and jimson weed prepared by the holy man. The books tell the Ò true storyÓ of how Castaneda, with Don JuanÕ s help, moved between various states of realityÑ all with the use of drugs as a new way of seeing. The author eventually became a kind of shapeshifter, too, flying like an ebony raven in the sky. According to Jon, Ò the Don Juan books were a profound influence on my life and how I viewed the world.Ó What prompted our discussion about Carlos Castaneda were recent revelations, made by a BBC-TV documentary, that the man was a fraudÑ a good old-fashioned American charlatan. It turns out that the millionaire authorÕ s multi-volume accounts of peyote mushroom trips with Don Juan Matus were fanciful.
According to the 2007 BBC-TV report, Castaneda spiced up the books with a few facts cribbed from an old book about Sonoran Indians. The author had consulted rarely known reference books while a graduate student in anthropology at UCLA. Amazingly, the first book in the popular series served as CastanedaÕ s masterÕ s thesis at UCLA. During the authorÕ s waning years, Jon informed me, he became reclusive and formed a quasi-cult called Cleargreen (after the authorÕ s vivid, green-colored visions) focusing on the mystical aspects of North and South American Indians. CastanedaÕ s cult, based in Los Angeles, included an inner circle of devoted women and men. The cult members changed their names and cut-off all communication with family and friends. Ò Castaneda fell in love with, and adopted as his daughter, a waitress he met in a L.A. diner,Ó Jon said. Ò Later, in 1998 when Castaneda died of cancer, the waitress and two others of the his inner circle disappeared. The skeleton of a woman was later found in Death Valley; it turned out to be the waitress. Police think the women committed suicide as directed by Castaneda.Ó The women had wanted to follow their Hispanic guru into his promised Ò active side of infinity”—life after death. For JonÑ who had abused his share of illegal drugs over the years to escape painful childhood memories and as means to unlock his own elusive mystical enlightenmentÑ the shattered myth of the pop-cultural shaman Don Juan Matus marked the end of his Aquarian quest for truth, bliss, and love. Ò When I heard all of this, the wheels came off my wagon,Ó Jon admitted. Ò But I suppose itÕ s darkly funny when you think about it.Ó While still very much connected to both the spirit and the pop music of the late Ô 60s and early Ô 70s, Jon sees the recent revelations about Carlos Castaneda as a final, cruel joke played on his corner of the counter-culture movement. Ò Turns out Don Juan was just a made-up character and Castaneda was just another con man looking to get rich quick,Ó Jon mused. So much for the dawning of the Age of Aquarius here on the flip side of infinity. Lou Varricchio

Quarry
from page 1 acquired the pit from Vermont Marble and White Pigment in 1976. While most may think of marble as a beautiful stone used in architecture and art, it’s biggest, most profitable, use is in the paper, plastics and paint industries. “The biggest use for marble—calcium carbonate—is as a filler, extender and brighter,Ó according to Stewart. Ò ItÕ s in everything from dry wall and linoleum to electrical insulation and wall paint in your house. Then there are coatings, sealants, and adhesives. Calcium carbonate is also a big part of foods, feeds, pharma, cosmetics, and agribusiness.Ó Omya sells the slurry product throughout the U.S. and Canada, according to Stewart. However, OmyaÕ s calcium-carbonate footprint is worldwide; company quarries operating in Europe also produce calcium carbonate. The 480-million-year-old Middlebury marble deposit is part of a vast Appalachian formation of which Vermont is but a partÑ it stretches from Quebec to Alabama. This thick deposit of metamorphic rock, formerly limestone, was laid down at the bottom of a deep, ancient sea in what geolgists call Ordivician times. Mountain uplift cooked the original limestone and altered it into marble. On the operations side, Stewart noted that while his Swiss employers own the quarry, they donÕ t do the actual hard work. Instead, Omya contracts locally owned SLC-Shelburne Limestone Corp. to do the ore extraction. Contract truckers then deliver the crushed ore to the Verpol plant via Route 7 where it is processed. Ò Thanks to modern machinery, only eight workers do the quarrying in Middlebury,Ó he noted. Ò They blast, drill, remove and screen all the rock in the quarry. Equipment used includes

100-ton Caterpillar vehicles, trucks, loaders, jaw crushers, screeners and conveyors.Ó Stewart noted that the quarry is 4,800 feet long and 900 feet wide and 250 feet deep. Certainly not as big as some open-pit mines in the western U.S., itÕ s still large by quarry standards. The public can learn more about Vermont marble and local geology plus get a free tour of the quarry during the Open House. Ò There will be something for everyone,Ó Stewart said. Ò Big trucks, loaders and other quarry equipment will be on display. A marble sand pile, with toy trucks and shovels, will be set up for children. You can use a microscope and learn about rocks and minerals from Omya mineralogists, geologists and chemists. Also, view an exhibit showing how the extracted marble is crushed and milled at OmyaÕ s Verpol facility in Florence.Ó The Open House will be an open-air, behind-the-scenes look at what goes on at the open-pit quarry. Ò Buses will shuttle visitors into the quarry while expert guides from Omya and Shelburne Limestone detail history, drilling, blasting and land reclamation operations,Ó Stewart added. Ò You will be able to ride through the entire tour or disembark from the bus to take an up close look at geological formations and scout the area for a marble souvenir.Ó Omya will host the Open House at the quarry Oct. 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. To get into the quarry, use the access road (1975 Private Rd.) located on the east side of Route 7, two miles south of Middlebury or one mile north of the Routes 7 and 125 intersection. The turn, between Connor Homes and Foster Motors, will be prominently marked on the day of the event. Ò Sharing the work we do at Omya with our community is a pleasure for us and the upcoming open house is a great opportunity to meet neighbors, answer questions, and simply enjoy the energy and excitement of everyone present. This will be OmyaÕ s twelfth Open House and the event has grown increasingly popular,Ó Stewart said.
scription drugs,Ó Sanders said. Ò It also moves us a step closer to the Five-Town Health Alliance becoming the ninth Federally Qualified Health Center in Vermont with all the benefits that go with that designation. I look forward to continuing to work with this wonderful organization.Ó The Look-Alike designation makes it possible for Mountain Health Center to offer a sliding fee scale to uninsured and underinsured patients meeting federal guidelines based on income. Mountain Health Center has four physicians, a nurse practitioner, a physician assistant, a social worker and dietician, six licensed or registered nurses, an executive director, and administrative staff. Health Center administrators noted some additional good news for the Bristol
facility. Ò Within the next several months, Mountain Health Center looks forward to a future partnership with Mountain Health Family Dentistry and in addition to that expects to participate in a federal pharmacy program that will lower the cost of prescriptions for eligible patients through a collaboration with local pharmacies,Ó according to Executive Director Martha Halnon, CPC, CMPE. Ò Mountain Health Center is open to new patients.Ó The Five-Town Health Alliance was formed in 2008 for improving medical, behavioral and dental access for the northeastern Addison County region.

BRANDON Ñ Connor GarveyÕ s music has been described as acoustic funky-folk-rock for the good hearted. His songs are like placing folk-funk guitar and ukulele, soulful vocals, and paradoxical metaphors in an electric juicer - youÕ ve never tasted it before, but itÕ s intriguing and delectable so you have to keep drinking. Hear him at Brandon Music on Thursday, Oct. 24, at 7:30 p.m. Garvey became a troubadour in 2008 by way of an Amtrak train ride that took him across the country in a self-booked tour. Now many years later, he is finding his place as a seasoned folkrock singer-songwriter touring the U.S. in his station wagon playing to full crowds at many of the countryÕ s best acoustic venues. Garvey has received many accolades, including 2012 Winner of the Wildflower Festival Performing Songwriter Competition in Richardson, Texas; 2011 Winner of Maine SongwriterÕ s Association Annual Songwriting Competition; and 2010-12 Rocky Mountain FolkÕ s Festival Singer Songwriter Honorable Mention.

Student boat race steeped in local maritime history By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com FERRISBURGH Ñ It was a picture-perfect autumn day along the Vermont shore of Lake ChamplainÑ a picture-perfect day for a photogenic boat race. On Oct. 12, more than 125 students from high schools and middle schools located in Chittenden County and Addison County, and from several schools as far away as Maine, met along the Burlington waterfront for Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumÕ s annual youth rowing race. The series of heats began in the early morning at the Burlington Community Boat House at the foot of College Street and continued through the early afternoon. ThereÕ s a bit of local maritime history behind the annual James Wakefield Rescue Row on the big lake. The energetic race, actually a series of heats, is named after the hero who courageously saved the passengers and crew of the lake schooner Ò General ButlerÓ during one terrible night in December 1876. The schooner was driven upon the breakwater during a fierce gale that rivaled a tropical cyclone in ferocity. According to the Lake Champlain Maritime MuseumÕ s archives, the Ò General ButlerÓ was built in 1862 in Essex, N.Y. Known as a schooner-rigged vessel, the Ò ButlerÓ was a typical Lake Champlain sailing canal boat of the Civil War-era, especially designed for lake sailing (often filled with its own doldrums). The crew of the Ò ButlerÓ , and vessels like it, could remove the masts and raise the centerboard for passage through the narrow Champlain Canal enroute to the Hudson River and New York City. The boats taking part in last weekendÕ s annual James Wakefield Rescue Row are distinctive. All the colorful boats used in this race were built by students as part of the Maritime MuseumÕ s Champlain Longboats program. The program fosters leadership, teambuilding, and technical skills among the young boatbuilders involved. This yearÕ s race sported 20 crews rowing 32-foot long boats in a series of heats along the
Burlington Waterfront. Participating Vermont schools included Burlington High School, South Burlington High School, Vergennes Middle and High School, Champlain Valley Union High School, Mt. Abraham High School and The Diversified Occupations Program in Middlebury. Addison County coaches had their hands full completing the boats and getting them in the water with their students teams. Dennis West headed up the VUHS team, Mary and Ed McGuire headed up the Mt. Abe team, and Wendy Lynch headed up the Diversified Occupations team. The Wakefield Row isn’t the only event stimulating young people to work together for a common goals. The Maritime MuseumÕ s Champlain Longboats boatbuilding program is another effort that accomplishes similar goals. Students (and other volunteers) will build a whaleboat this winter for Mystic SeaportÕ s historic whaleship, the 19th-century Ò Charles W. MorganÓ . In addition, the museum will offer several open house programs at the Boat Shop in Ferrisburgh in the coming months so visitors can see the whaleboat take shape.

Midd. kids, adults walk, bike to work
Vermont Eagle - 13
By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs. com MIDDLEBURY Ñ Oct. 9 was officially Walk, Bike to School Day in Middlebury. And while automotive traffic congestion downtown didnÕ t look too different compared to most days of the school year, there were a few groups of Mary Hogan Elementary School students, and teachers, riding bicycles or walking the sidewalks from Court Street and Seymour Street to Main Street and Merchants Row. Addison CountyÕ s bike and walk advocate Laura Asermily, who helped organize last weekÕ s events, said Walk, Bike to School Day volunteers helped pass out reward stickers and Cliff Bar fruit rolls to students as they arrived at school. Volunteers also helped monitor crosswalk intersections along Route 7, Cross Street, and Merchants Row during school arrival time. The day started at the Mary Hogan School at 7:30 a.m. where volunteers met to receive Safe Routes to School reflective vests and crosswalk location assignments. Ò Crosswalk monitors did not escort students, but simply ensures that children knew the rules of road before crossing,Ó according to Asermily. The event was hosted by Mary Hogan Safe Routes to School Team in partnership with the Town of Middlebury Energy Committee, the Parks & Recreation Department, ACRPC, and Safe Routes to
School Vermont. Organized by the Partnership for a Walkable America, Walk to School Day began in 1997 as a one-day event aimed at building awareness for the need for walkable communities. In 2000, the event became international when the U.K. and Canada and the USA joined together for the first International Walk to School Day. Growing interest in participation all over the world led the International Walk to School Committee to shifts its promotion to International Walk to School Month for the entire month of October. The Mary Hogan Elementary School community has been an active participant with healthy bicycle and walking events for several years.
Every year, students at the Mary Hogan Elementary School learn about bike safety during the annual Walk, Bike to School Day. The school has been an active participant in the event for several years. Photo by Lou Varricchio

quickly, allowing diseases the chance to enter. Of course you can prune any dead, diseased, or broken branches. Mulch shrubs, trees, and perennial beds with a loose organic material such as bark mulch. Do it now, and you will have one less job to worry about in the spring. Prior to mulching you may want to spread some compost around woody plants, so it can work into and enrich the soil over the winterÑ another less task to do in spring, particularly if you’ll then need to remove the mulch first. Also topdress an inch or two of compost around your perennials, more easily done after theyÕ re cut back. Another project for this fall, so you wonÕ t need to worry with it during the busy spring planting season, is edging beds. Have you protected your evergreens from drying winter winds? For evergreens like the Alberta spruce, place burlap screens on the eastern and southern sides. Otherwise bright winter sun will rapidly heat the frozen needles. Or, you can spray evergreens with an antidessicant available from your local garden center. If you have deer nearby, you may want to stock up and spray

Green Scene: Fall in your landscape UVM Extension Service Just as you make sure your car is ready for winter this time of year, so should you make sure your landscape is ready. Have you raked those fallen leaves yet? The grass is still green underneath and can use all the light possible to prepare for winter. Removing leaves also allows water and air to get to the living plants, preventing them from suffocating. For this reason leaves, especially tough ones that pack down and rot slowly, do not make good mulch for perennials and should be raked off perennial beds. ItÕ s too late to divide perennials, but you can cut them back in late fall. You can divide peonies, though, if needed. If sited properly with plenty of space, peonies may not need dividing for many years or even decades. But, if they are too large or crowded or you just need to move them, fall is the time. Wait until late winter or spring to prune woody plants if possible, as doing so now will leave open wounds that wonÕ t heal
a repellent on desirable woody plants. Did you have Ò tenderÓ summer bulbs such as gladiolus and dahlias? If so, dig the dahlia tubers right after tops have been killed with a hard frost. As long as the grass is growing, mow. For me this is usually mid-October. While you want to mow higher (three-inches) during the growing season, lower this to about two inches with your last mowing. This discourages any mice and rodents from living there. If you have lots of different cultivars of a perennial, such as many different daffodils, hostas, or daylilies, you might want to make a map. Invariably labels come out during winter, or even through the season with plant maintenance, and get all mixed upÑ something a map can help you keep straight.
