Localr eal estate sales up; will they continue?
SOUNDS OF AUTUMN
By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY „ According to a report released Oct. 31 by Coldwell Banker Bill Beck Real Estate in Middlebury, real estate sales during the third quarter of 2013 were robust locally. ñ There were 99 sales in Addison County during the third quarter compared with 66 last year for a 50 percent increase for the quarter,î according to the report. ñ Sales were also up in Chittenden County (28 percent), Rutland County (32 percent) and Vermont overall (30 percent).î The report points out that prices overall have remained stable for the past few years. Through the first three quarters of 2013, the report noted, the average sale price was $255,805 which is where it was in 2005. ñ The big question moving forward is whether the market can sustain the current sales price,î the report questioned. ñ Interest rates will certainly have a lot to do with it. Rates have recently increased from 3.5 percent to 4.5 percent and the government continues to subsidize these rates. They will likely rise again in the not too distant future.î
On Sunday, Nov. 17, the Middlebury College Choir will present its annual free fall concert at 3 p.m. in Concert Hall at the Mahaney Center for the Arts on campus. The concert program includes American choral music and works by Middlebury composers, as the choir prepares for a spring tour in Europe. The choir will be conducted by Jeffrey Buettner.

Utility receives award for Rutland solar energy
Rutland City Hall was filled with local officials, Green Mt. Power employees and VIPS for news of the utility’s award and solar work in Rutland. Photo by Dave Allaire
RUTLAND „ The Solar Electric Power Association presented Green Mountain Power the 2013 investor-owned Utility of the Year Award last week for its initiative incorporating solar as a cost-effective solution for its customers and for its most recent decision to make Rutland the Solar Capital of New England. ñ Though it is one of the smallest investor-owned utilities in the country, Green Mountain Power has demonstrated a disproportionately large commitment to clean, renewable solar energy, customer choice and the communities it serves,î SEPA President and CEO Julia Hamm said. ñ GMPÍ s recent effort to make Rutland the solar capital of New England is an exercise in clean energy, economic and community development, all rolled into one. It is inspirational to many of us in the solar industry.î GMP President and CEO Mary Powell received the award at SEPAÍ s annual membership meeting in Chicago, where 12,000 solar and utility professionals gathered last week. GMP was selected from among three finalists, and was by far the smallest utility considered for the award. ñ We are thrilled, honored and proud to be selected as SEPAÍ s Utility of the Year,” Powell said. “The work we have done in solar is a huge benefit for all of our customers as it helps drive down the cost of purchasing power during peak times. The work we are doing in Rutland will benefit all of our customers, as lessons learned and experience gained there will help us expand our portfolio of renewable energy statewide, and help customers meet their personal generation needs.î CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

ORWELL „ Thanks to the efforts of Orwell resident Kenneth Patterson, the service and sacrifice of those men and women who served in the decade-long Vietnam War were honored during a special ceremony held last week. Patterson received letters and messages of thanks and praise for his efforts to honor the Vietnam veterans. Patterson contacted 38 living veterans and the surviving families of the fallen who currently live in, or formerly lived in, the Orwell area. PattersonÍ s letter-writing campaign touched those from all branches of the U.S. Armed Services. ñ Thirty two of the 38 people responded and were represented at a ceremony at OrwellÍ s War Memorial by either themselves or a family member,î according to Christy Alger of Orwell. ñ One veteran traveled as far as the State of Washington to attend the ceremony. Several veterans and family members are residents of Orwell; two of the servicemen are deceased.î Orwell resident Alan Greene, killed in action in Vietnam, was represented by his sister is Shirley Girard. Officials attending the Orwell ceremony were Richard Reed, Veteran Services director, General Cray of the Vermont National Guard, and Orwell residents Col. Robert Martin, Ret., Mark Mordasky and Peter Young.

Ripton artist instructs Aurora students
By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY „ For nearly a month, Aurora Middle School students have been learning all about modern art at the feet of a master. Since early October, the Aurora students have been learning from, and working with, Ripton artist Jean Cherouny. The artist is instructing the students about the whys and wherefors of creating abstract art. According to Aurora teacher Danielle Levine, ñ Cherouny believes strongly in sharing her love of art and in giving students the opportunity to express themselves through artwork. This opportunity was made possible by an Artist in Schools grant from the Vermont Arts Council. ñ Students started the residency by working in sketchbooks to explore line, shape, color and other basic elements of design. To help them let go of the idea that there is a right way or place for a line, they decorated the cover of their sketchbooks with their eyes closed,î Levine said. ñ As one student explained, ï I learned how there are no wrong answers in art.Í After exploration of creating lines and shapes through folding, tracing and layering, there was a time for reflection where the students observed their own sketches to see what shapes, lines and patterns inspired them. The best way for students to get inspired and motivated to work on self expressive art, they were asked to first observe„ observe the elements of design of objects they really liked„ such as shoes. ñ They traced the outline of the shoe and then filled it with an exploration of the lines, shapes, curves and dots they observed on the shoe itself but rearranged in their own chosen composition,î Levine noted. ñ Another student said, ï I learned that abstract art is just as beautiful as regular art, and itÍ s even more creative. I liked
testing my creativity.Í î When their work is completed students will have completed several large pieces 2 feet by 3 feet in size. ñ They created by layering spray paint and latex house paint on cardboard with stencils,î according to Levine. Considering that the students are novices in the art world, their creative efforts demonstrate that individual expression can both surprise and move the viewer. One parent commented that her childÍ s work was a pleasant surprise. The works of the Aurora students will be unveiled at the school Tuesday, Nov. 5, 1:30-2:30 p.m. The large pieces will remain on display for a few weeks and then travel to Ripton Elementary School. Ripton students, under the guidance of teacher Susan Ogilvie, will view the paintings and learn about the process from the seventh-grade Aurora artists. ñ This residency is part of a study of composition which relates back to the middle school curriculum,î according to Levine. ñ In humanities, the students are engaging with literature that discusses how communities are organized, who is included and who is excluded. In science, the students are studying the composition

of rocks and the Earth. In math, students have been exploring fractals and how a single rule can create an interesting and increasingly complicated pattern, which in the case of the Fibonacci Sequence is also naturally occurring. Stu-
dents used images and objects from math and science to inspire their sketches and artwork.î For more information, call the Aurora Middle School at 802-989-3737.

The disappointed idealist
ot too long ago, an old high school buddy e-mailed me a link to a funny, but very trenchant You Tube video clip showing the late comedian George Carlin performing on stage. The clip was one of the hip comicÍ s last appearances before his passing in 2008. If youÍ d like to view this clip online, search for ñ George Carlin: Saving the Planetî on You Tube. Anyhow, thereÍ s a segment of CarlinÍ s fan base that didnÍ t like what the comic said in public near the end of life, probably because it was cutting a little too close to the bone. I have observed in watching pop culture that we tend to enjoy comics when theyÍ re poking fun at someone or some group we donÍ t happen to like. But when itÍ s our own ox getting gored, suddenly the comic has lost his touch or his marbles. But not so in the case of Carlin. Carlin, never afraid to throw the proverbial F-bomb on stage (letÍ s remember he created the classic ñ Seven Words You Can Never Say on Televisionî stand-up routine in 1972), was turned off by what the environmental movement had become. In the case of global warming, he just didnÍ t think it was much of an urgent matter. In fact, his comments about its followers were as barbed as they get. Interestingly, Carlin didnÍ t take a global perspective on the topic of the environment„ he took a cosmic one and therein lies the rub among some fans. On a grand cosmic scale, what humans do or donÍ t do on this planet doesnÍ t amount to a tiny anthill on the Great Karoo, he posited. ñ WeÍ re so self-important, so self-important,î Carlin says during the You Tube stand-up monologue. ñ EverybodyÍ s going to save something now: Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails. And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. What? Are these (expletive) people kidding me? Save the planet, we donÍ t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We havenÍ t learned how to care for one another, weÍ re gonna save the (expletive) planet? ... IÍ m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there arenÍ t enough bicycle paths; people trying to make the world safe for their Volvos.î I can understand why folks who might have loved Carlin during the anti-establishment 1970s„ when he was mocking Richard Nixon, or celebrating marijuana, or calling for an end to the Vietnam War—didn’t like him much during that final decade of his life. From what Carlin said on and off stage, he didnÍ t like what his generation had turned in to; he didnÍ t hold back when it came to throwing verbal caustic soda from stage into the audience. ñ See, I donÍ t worry about the little things: bees, trees, whales, snails. I think weÍ re part of a greater wisdom than we will ever understand. A higher order. Call it what you want. Know what I call it? The Big Electron. The Big Electron. It doesnÍ t punish, it doesnÍ t reward, it doesnÍ t judge at all. It just is. And so are we. For a little while.î ItÍ s not, I believe, that Carlin sold out on the ï 60s generation. No, I believe he just naturally evolved into a pragmatist in the classic mold of a Charles S. Pierce or a William James. He also noticed a hardening of the arteries of his ñ hipî generation that went from once believing in the rights of individuals and railing against the state, to espousing a new kind of collectivism and speaking their own brand of Orwellian Newspeak„ political correctness as one example. He seemed to take exception to the Boomer zeitgeist. It was the words of George Carlin himself that summed up his change of world view from the 1970s to the 2000s: ñ Inside every cynical person there is a disappointed idealist.î Lou Varricchio/The Vermont Eagle

War stories: U.S. Navy veteran turns author By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY „ Back in 1968, when Vietnam and Middle East veteran Marc Leibman was attending Norwich University in Vermont, the Battle of Khe Sanh took up front-page column inches in the nationÍ s daily newspapers and occupied the newscasts of televisionÍ s three networks. From January and on into the early spring of ï 68, it looked ominous for U.S. Marines pinned down at a combat base in a valley surrounded by the forested mountains of Quang Tri Province. What had looked like deja vu of the 1954 defeat of French forces at another Vietnam hot spot, Dien Bien Phu, U.S. Marines on the ground, and U.S. Air Force in the air, at Khe Sanh had turned a rout into one of the biggest victories of a war many would now like to forget. For the 20-something Liebman watching the Vietnam War as a ROTC student in Vermont, it was only a matter of time before he had to get in the fight. ñ I attended Norwich on a ROTC scholarship,î he said. ñ I was there because I wanted to become a military pilot and fly jets.” After being commissioned as an U.S. Navy ensign in 1968, Liebman entered the Naval Aviation Training Command and was designated as a naval aviator in 1969. After a 24-year career that took him all over the world, he eventually retired as a captain which is really the same as a colonel in the Army, Air Force or Marine Corps„ but thatÍ s getting ahead of our story. Bitten by the aviation bug at a young age, Liebman earned his private-pilot wings at age 14. And by a long, circuitous route, the author eventually left Vermont and found himself as an officer and a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Navy„ bound for the Vietnam War. ñ It took eight months for us to cross the Atlantic, Indian and
Bristol man re-enlists for Afghan duty By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com BRISTOL „ There are those who serve in the military, do their time, and return to civilian life. But in the case of U.S. Army Sgt. Joseph C. Audy of Bristol, service is a special calling, especially in war time. Just in time for Veterans Day 2013 ceremonies, Audy choose to reenlist in the U.S. Army during a re-enlistment ceremony held at the militaryÍ s Regional Command Post South, located at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan. The event took place in the secure area Oct. 11. Audy, a 2005 graduate of Mt. Abraham Union High School, has been described by former classmates as a skilled technician„ ñ loyal,î ñ honorable,î and a man youÍ d want by your side in any service unit. The young Army veteran is a maintenance non-commissioned officer in charge assigned to the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, Combat Aviation Brigade, First Infantry Division headquartered at Fort Riley, Kansas. He has served in the military for seven years since leaving Vermont. Audy is the son of Kevin and Valli Audy of Bristol.

Pacific oceans aboard the carrier USS America,” Liebman said. ñ We made several stops in South America, South Africa and then on to southeast Asia.î Liebman, who ended up being assigned as a Naval helicopter pilot against his wishes (he would have preferred flying jets), was assigned a fast-utility, shipbased UH-2C Seasprite rotorcraft aboard the USS America. ñ We made ï benignÍ runs around the northern Gulf of Tonkin,î Liebman noted. “It was pretty dicey stuff. I was flying with no armour, no guns„ just sidearms.î Some of LiebmanÍ s less threatening missions were true errands of mercy, such as plucking downed pilots from the angry sea off Vietnam. Fast forward three years, and the aviator ended up aboard the USS John F. Kennedy in the Mediterranean Sea. When the 1973 Arab-Israeli War„ or Yom Kippur War„ erupted, the JFK stood by off Egypt. “We watched Soviet jets fly in and out of Egypt,” Liebman said. ñ Our A4s were up there, but thankfully we didnÍ t engage.î After the excitement of the Middle Eastern war, Liebman returned stateside and became a T-28 instructor at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida. And by 1978, it was time to return to the life of a citizen. Liebman left the regular Navy but flew with a reserve squadron out of Lakehurst, N.J. Increasingly, LiebmanÍ s expertise as a leader and helicopter pilot was called upon yet the lure of civilian life-and civilian aviation„ was always compelling When the Iraqi Army invaded Kuwait in 1990, the Gulf War followed and then the Navy wanted Liebman back in uniform„ full time. This time, however, the brass gave him a monumental task: organize hundreds of military rotorcraft as one of the Gulf WarÍ s big helio bosses. ñ I had 240 choppers representing 14 Allied nations under me during Operation Desert Storm/Shield,î he said. ñ Among our special-ops mission was to retake oil platforms captured by the Iraqis. We fired guided missiles from the helicopters and took out the Iraqis handily.î Also, with 6,000 ships navigating the Persian Gulf during the war, Liebman was one of the principal officers responsible for tracking them with helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft under his command. In addition to work with the armed forces of NATO nations„ as well as those from Australia, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand„ Liebman also deployed on Royal Navy and Canadian Navy ships. Alongside his passion for flying, Liebman was also bitten by the writing bug at a young age. With a resume showing him as owner of a small aerospace and defense manufacturing firm and associate editor of Ski and Ski Business magazines, the talented businessman and writer started contributing articles on defense and foreign policy topics as a freelance writer. His work saw their way onto the pages of a variety of international newspapers and magazines. Yet, Leibman had other stories„ novel-length stories„ heÍ d rather tell. ñ I retired in 1993 and money was scarce,î he noted. ñ But I had developed a fictional U.S. Navy helicopter pilot character named Josh Haman that I was envisioning in a series of books following a timeline from the Vietnam War era to the present day. So I started writing and hunting for literary agents.î All the hard work and rejection letters eventually paid off for this Navy veteran. He found a hardworking agent (rare) and a publisher„ Fireship Press of Tucson, Ariz.,„ to help birth his first novel, titled “Big Mother 40”. The book, about a secret chop-
per mission deep inside North Vietnam during the 1970s. The book was published a year ago and the authorÍ s second novel in the Josh Haman series is due out this month. ñ Josh Haman is my alter ego,î Liebman said. ñ His story is my story but altered.î When heÍ s not on a writing mission these days, Liebman thinks about Vermont ski slopes and helicopters while enjoying life in sunny Texas with his wife Betty and two children, Seth and Michelle. In the end, what better accolade for a first-time military novelist to receive than from a respected comrade-in-arms, in this case, Rear Admiral Ken L. Fisher, USN Ret.„ ñ MarcÍ s knowledge of Navy helicopter and SEAL operations and the planning is evident throughout his book and the overall concept of joint and naval operations and the specifics of both Special Forces and helicopter missions during the Vietnam era makes this a very believable scenario.î Check It Out: Author Marc LiebmanÍ s Vietnam War novel, ñ Big Mother 40î , is available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble online and through publisher Fireship Press at www.fireshippress.com.

If youÍ re looking for an affectionate lap cat, look no further. I am a joy to be around, but I prefer to take my time in new situations. BLACQUE JACQUE 10 year old. Neutered Male. Jack Russell Terrier. IÍ m a silly guy who enjoys being with people and being part of the action. I love getting scratched (especially on my back) and hanging out with my people. IÍ ll be in the center of the activities in my new home thatÍ s for sure. IÍ ve lived with dogs and cats so I should fit in well in
NALA 1 year old. Spayed Female. Pit Bull mix. Gee I hope the third timeÍ s the charm for me. You see IÍ ve been adopted out twice since IÍ ve been at RCHS but both homes didnÍ t work out for me so I hope my next adoption is my final one. I’m a real beauty with a silvery-tan colored coat with white on my chest and nose and beautiful green eyes. IÍ m beautiful but IÍ m also very active and always on the go. I love to play and will chase tennis balls and squeaky toys but IÍ m not very good at retrieving, at least not yet. When I get excited I can be a lot of dog and IÍ m very athletic so I need an active family who will give me lots of exercise and play time.

In July 2007, Carey was named the host of The Price is Right, succeeding longtime host Bob Barker. While in the Marine Reserves, his military buzz cut and black wide-rim glasses became part of his trademark look. He began his successful career as a comedian in April of 1986 at the Cleveland Comedy Club. One of his first big breaks was competing on “Star Search ‘88.” In 1991, Carey landed a spot on HBOÍ s ñ 14th Annual Young Comedians Specialî and appeared on ñ The Tonight Show with Johnny Carsonî . Carey landed his own television development deal at Disney, which led to an opportunity for Carey to co-star in the series ñ The Good Lifeî . Carey also had the opportunity to work with Bruce Helford, who was a consulting writer on the series and hired Carey as a staff writer for ñ The Gaby Hoffman Showî . Their experience led the two of them to decide to co-create a series for Carey. Carey went on to star in his own comedy special for Showtime, ñ Drew Carey: Human Cartoonî and performed in ShowtimeÍ s ñ Tenth Anniversary of the Montreal Comedy Festivalî . Carey was born in Cleveland and currently resides in Los Angeles. Tickets ($39.75) are available and on sale at the Paramount Center Box Office.

Utility award from page 1
Powell said the award was an acknowledgment of the companyÍ s commitment to long-view thinking about customers and the environment. ñ While many utilities see solar generation as a threat to their business, we see solar as an opportunity to cost-effectively fulfill customer wants and needs and support new jobs and businesses in our communities,î Powell said. ñ Rather than fear solar, as many utilities appear to do, we embrace it.î The company does not know who nominated it for the award, but SEPA received numerous letters of support for the nomination. GMP recently expanded its solar goal in Rutland from 6.25 megawatts of solar generation in 2017 to 10 megawatts by the end of 2015. Martha Staskus, chair of the board of Renewable Energy Vermont, wrote in a letter of support, ñ This effort is having a very positive impact on many REV members, is helping utility customers to access solar energy in a variety of ways, and is highlighting the value solar brings to the grid. In short, I am aware of no utility in the country that is working harder to make solar an important part of its energy mix, and to remove barriers to customer reliance on solar energy statewide.î ñ We have found that Green Mountain Power
is uniquely exceptional in its unwavering support for solar in its community,î wrote Steve Remen, executive vice president of groSolar. ñ GMP has gone above and beyond in organizing programs to continually reduce costs and carbon footprints and increase ambitious goals within its service region and across the state of Vermont.î Jeff Wolfe, a solar pioneer in Vermont and nationally, also wrote a letter commending GMP for removing interconnection barriers, supporting forward-thinking regulations, and using solar as a development tool, and recommended GMP for the award. ñ I have worked with many utilities, across the country, and cannot think of a more deserving company for this award than Green Mountain Power,î he wrote. ñ GMP has been a steadfast leader in our industryÍ s mission to expand adoption throughout the state and nation,î said Andrew Savage, communications director at AllEarth Renewables. ñ We can think of no better recipient for your annual utility award.î GMP Vice President Steve Costello said, ñ This award is clearly a result of the commitment of city and community leaders, solar developers and organizations, and customers who have embraced solar and helped bring life to our vision. This is a recognition of the value of collaboration, which is at the heart of our efforts in Rutland.î

99-year-old driver from Rutland survives crash
RUTLAND „ On Oct. 24, at approximately 2:40 p.m., members of the Shrewsbury Fire Department, Regional Ambulance Service and Vermont State Police responded to 2428 Vermont Route 103 for a report of a single vehicle crash. Investigation at the scene found Robert Farnum, 99, of Rutland was travelling north on Route 103 when he fell asleep at the wheel. FarnumÍ s vehicle travelled across the center of the roadway into the oncoming lane. His vehicle continued up an embankment, became airborne and then glanced off a telephone pole and several trees while continuing up a private driveway. Farnum’s vehicle then struck a full size fifth wheel travel trailer belonging to Donato Carrara. This fifth wheel was parked in Carrara’s driveway near his home. The fifth wheel was spun sideways and knocked off its supports when FarnumÍ s vehicle struck the hitch and became lodged in the engine compartment. Farnum was taken to the Rutland Regional Medical Center by Regional Ambulance Service. CarraraÍ s trailer had to be lifted off FarnumÍ s vehicle. FarnumÍ s vehicle was a total loss. Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be factors in this crash. As a result of the impact Farnum suffered an injury to his hip and he remains at the Rutland Regional Medical Center.
