PorterM ed SHREK THE MUSICAL nurses vote to unionize

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ Nurses of Porter Medical Center in Middlebury took a bold step Nov. 7 on the road to organized representation in the workplace. The nurses voted 72-58 to form a union.

The move toward organizing means that the nurses will join Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals of the American Federation of TeachersVermont. Ò The nurses voted Ô yesÕ despite an onslaught of aggressive anti-union tactics by the hospital administration,Ó according to media consultant Amy Shollenberger of Action Circles in Montpelier. Ò Because 16 of the votes cast were challenged by one side or the other and thus not counted, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will hold hearings to determine the final tally.”

According to PorterÕ s Alice Leo, R.N., who was one of the employees involved in the organizing effort, Ò We voted Ô yesÕ for Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals because we want to be strong advocates for quality patient care. Now that we are organized, we have an equal voice with the administration about our CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

The Tigers clinched the Div. 1 State Championship against South Burlington, 26-6.

RUTLAND Ñ It was a night for a big victory lap for the Middlebury Union High School Tiger varsity football team playing in Rutland Nov. 9.

The number one seeded MUHS in VermontÕ s Division 1 high school football conference defeated the number two seeded South Burlington High School Rebels 26-6.

The game clinched the Vermont State Championship for the Tigers.

The game was a rematch of an earlier battle and the Rebels came well prepared.

The championship victory made a perfect closing for an especially sweet year for Tiger Head Coach Dennis Smith, his assistants John Nuceder and Jed Malcolm, and the rest of the squad in bringing home the first Vermont State Championship to MUHS since 2002.

Comet ISON may put on a sky show - or not

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ The question of whether or not Vermonters will be able to view Comet ISON, officially known as Comet NevskiÐ Novichonok or 2012 S1, in the pre-dawn sky during the coming weeks depends not only on local weather conditions, but also on the comet itself.

Discovered a year ago, Comet Nevski- NovichonokÑ nicknamed Comet ISON for one of the International Scientific Optical Network telescopes used by the two namesake Russian amateurs to first identify the object—is expected to put on a show (or maybe not) during mid November and through early December. Ò The future brightness of a promising comte is just about the toughest thing in naked eye astronomy to predict,Ó according to Alan MacRobert writing in the current issue of Sky & Telescope magazine. “So we’re about to find out whether Comet ISON will come anywhere close to the inflated public expectations that were generated early on.Ó MacRobert noted that the comet was billed Ò as possibly the greatest comet in history.Ó Of course, those old enough to remember events of 1973 will remember the fizzle that was Comet Kohoutek. Ò As Comet ICON brightens in November,Ó according to MacRobert, Ò it will descend lower and lower into the brightening

dawn Astronomy educator Dr. John Perry, an astrophysicist at the University of Vermont and owner of Holographics North, said the comet is not brightening up the way it was supposed to do. Ò ISON will pass very close to the Sun,Ó Perry said, Ò and that will determine what we see or donÕ t see. ISONÕ s nucleus is about the size of the City of BurlingtonÑ made of ice and gas. It will be broken apart by the SunÕ s gravity and heat; then its brightness will decline. I think it will be best to look after itÕ s closest approach on Thanksgiving DayÑ called perihelionÑ then, itÕ s better observed from the Earth. YouÕ ll have to get up before dawn; itÕ s close to the sunrise. But when the Sun comes up itÕ ll be too bright. The tail may be smaller than the full Moon in length.Ó Perry recalled the hype over Kohoutek in 1973. Howver, this time, he doesnÕ t believe the news media is over-hyping Comet ISON. Ò I think thereÕ s a misinterpretation about just how bright itÕ s supposed to be,Ó Perry said.

Will Comet ICON dazzle or fizzle? Only time will tell—and the time is growing short.

To check out the comet for yourself, starting Saturday, Nov. 16, look in the east-southeast one hour before dawn. The comet will appear slightly above the star Spica. By Sunday, Nov. 24, look in the same direction 30 minutes before sunrise. The comet will appear just above the horizon, to the lower right of the planets Mercury and Saturn.

Comet ISON will be visible this week and through early December. It will climb up the eastern sky between an hour or less before dawn.

Vermont’s minimum hourly wage to increase Jan. 1 MONTPLEIER Ñ The Vermont Department of Labor announced last week that the STATE minimum wage rate will be increased to $8.73 per hour, from the current rate of $8.60 per hour, effective on Jan. 1, 2014.

Under Vermont statute (21 VSA ¤ 384), VermontÕ s minimum wage increases each year at the same rate as the Consumer Price Index (as calculated in August for the preceding year, or at 5 percent, whichever is less). The same calculation increase applies to the basic wage rate for tipped employees and the maximum tip credit allowed, and for the permitted-deduction-rates for employer-provided rooms and meals.

Service or tipped employees rate will increase to $4.23 per hour from $4.17. Ò Service or tippedÓ employees may include individuals working in businesses such as hotels, motels, tourist places and restaurants, and who customarily and regularly receive more than $120 a month in tips for direct and personal service.

The service or tipped employeeÕ s total earnings during a pay period (a combination of tips and basic wage) must equal or exceed the minimum wage of $8.73 per hour, and if not the employer must make up the difference.

An employer may deduct from wages earned

an allowance for meals and lodging actually furnished and accepted. The allowances and the increased rates as of Jan. 1, 2014 are as follows: Breakfast-$2.94 daily Lunch-$3.30 daily Dinner-$3.67 daily

Full Board-$9.91 daily or $69.37 per week Nightly Lodging-$4.04 daily Full Room-$24.30 weekly Full room and Board-$83.93 per week Vermont law requires all employers to post the minimum wage rates.

Shumlin’s health-care exchange promises V

ermont Gov. ShumlinÕ s October 31 announcement that he would delay the participation requirement for Vermont Health Connect by three months was a step in the right direction for households, like mine, that are being forced to participate in the exchange in 2014. But it also demonstrated that he suffers from a significant lack of understanding of the very thing he is in the act of changing.

For most Vermont families, the primary purpose of a health Ò planÓ isnÕ t to shift the cost of medical expenses, but rather to provide protection from unmanageable expenses that could result from unforeseen medical needs.

My household is a prime example of this: for each of the last 15 years, we would have been better off to pay out-of-pocket for our medical expenses, and to save the money spent on health insurance. Not just a little better off; several tens of thousands of dollars overall. This in spite of significant use of medical services- childbirths, surgeries, ambulances, major tests, broken bones, a full slate of preventative care- and the list goes on. Yet, we continue to be grateful for our health insurance, because hindsight is 20/20, and we know that tomorrow, next year, or ten years from now we could be faced with unexpected medical expenses that would bankrupt our household if we didnÕ t have coverage.

Our health insurance provides predictability, the most valuable aspect of the plan.

The governorÕ s actions with healthcare, on the other hand, have repeatedly flown against predictability, first as he insisted that all was well when it was not, and now with a three-month punt that has created an untenable situation for us and for thousands of other Vermont households. We canÕ t purchase from the malfunctioning exchange and yet the renewal of our existing plan through March makes no financial sense with annual deductibles, out-of-pocket caps, and IRS implications that donÕ t

translate to a three-month extension.

The governorÕ s quest for single-payer healthcare in Vermont is an admirable dream, but social and economic realities make it an impossible one. While he gazes at the single-payer windmill on the 2017 horizon, heÕ s forgotten that Vermont households need

From the Editor

Failure is now an option

“Failure is not an option”—title of book by retired NASA flight director Gene Krantz.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the passing of one of my personal heroes, Project Mercury astronaut Scott Carpenter.

CarpenterÕ s death last month got me thinking about AmericaÕ s amazing drive to race the Russians to the MoonÑ of which Carpenter was a bigger contributor than most knew.

The USA won the race to the Moon within a decade of President John F. Kennedy formally setting the goal in 1962. And judging by how the USAÕ s interplanetary man-in-space effort has gone since then, America probably did the job a century or more before the feat would have been attempted otherwise.

Right now, in observing how the Obama administration has botched setting up a simple Internet website and by creating a byzantine national health-care law, I can only shake my head in disgust.

Imagine if the current White House had been tasked in sending humans to the Moon? The effort would have looked more like the SovietÕ s failed giant N1 rocket attempt during the 1960s.

Starting in 1959, and leading up the year of the Moon landing, Russian engineersÑ under the leadership of their Chief Designer Sergei KorolevÑ developed a Saturn 5-sized rocket that would have carried two cosmonauts and a tiny one-person lander to the Moon.

Sure the top-secret project got off the ground, if you can call reaching only 40 kilometers (22 miles) in altitude getting to the Moon.

Several launch attempts resulted in the N1 rocket exploding above the pad (or having to be destroyed by remote control).

After these spectacular failures (which were kept secret from the world), the Soviets backed away from efforts to send people to the Moon.

As a result of the failure to achieve its lunar goals, the Kremlin political spin after the fact was all too familiar.

Historians blame the N1Õ s failure to achieve orbit on the Soviet government bureaucracy not being able to get the job done. The N1’s fatal flaw, it turns out, was that it was just as labyrinthine as the big government system which half-heartedly attempted to make it fly to the Moon. Scoring political propaganda points came first with project management and technical resources coming in a very distant second and third.

Soviet leaders, more or less, spun the N1 outcome in multiple ways to deflect their collectivist failure: “What’s the fuss about walking on the Moon? We were never really in a race with America” and Ò robots are better used in exploring the planets than people.Ó I wonder what weÕ d hear from the Obama administration if it had been tasked (and failed) with a similar Moon project?

LetÕ s not forget that this White HouseÕ s greatest space achievement has been to pull the plug on NASAÕ s return to the Moon efforts (the now defunct Constellation project) and ending the spaceshuttle program (without even having a replacement spacecraft ready to fly).

In the end, big government successes or failures with managing complex technical programs depend upon individual leadership, expertise, accountability, and fixing problems before they become liabilities. NASA experienced its failures the hard way starting in 1967, when the Apollo 1 astronauts died in a fire, and later with the shuttle disasters of 1986 and 2003.

In the realm of technologyÑ be it a website or a rocketÑ the current Washington administration simply lacks the Right Stuff; it doesnÕ t have the prime ingredients to produce even a minor success in just about any technological area you can think of. ItÕ s sad when you realize how rapidly a nationÕ s technical leadership can decline under such clueless leadership.

All we can do right now is watch this painfully embarrassing and passionless President run out the national clock as we approach the election of 2016. Then, perhaps, weÕ ll get the kind of national leadership our nation needs, be it Democratic or Republican, rather than the kind we have unfortunately come to deserveÑ all thanks to our inability to vet exceptional national leaders with a call to envision things bigger than special interest groups, partisan base supporters, and the next election.

Aviators meet, greet at Middlebury Airport

By Elicia Mailhiot

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURYÑ The 2,500 ft. runway at Middlebury Airport is seeing less traffic these days as fall turns to winter. The colder weather didnÕ t stop nearly 30 people from gathering Nov. 2 to share a home-cooked meal and years of aviation stories.

When Brian Pinsonault began his new job as airport manager back in June, he immediately noticed the importance of connecting with people who stopped into the state-run airport on their travels, even if itÕ s just a quick hello as their fueling.

Since then, he has hosted two fly-ins at the facility, encouraging airplane-lovers from across the state to network and connect.

For Pinsonault, the meetings also serve as a way to bring awareness to the airport, which is nestled on the outskirts of town and sits on 156 acres.

Most of the events include a pot-luck lunch and demonstrations on all things aviation. Anyone is welcome to the event and it is not limited to individuals who own planes. Ò Fly-ins are normally an aviation community kind of gathering,Ó he said. Ò But they are open to the public in an effort to generate interest in aviation.Ó At this summerÕ s event, Bill Hanf gave a Garmin demonstration, educating attendees on new technology available for their aircrafts. Hanf owns Green Mountain Avionics, which is housed at the airport. For Hanf and other businesses at the airport, these carry the potential of new sales and allow for them to share their product with a crowd who might not know the services that are offered locally.

Saturday’s fly-in wasn’t limited to locals. Aviation lovers from as far away as Oswego, N.Y. made an appearance at the event, which surprised Pinsonault. One of these included Chris Taylor, a friend and classmate from Daniel-Webster.

For more information about the Middlebury airport and others around the state, visit aviation.vermont.gov.

New home for Vt. Adaptive Ski & Sports KILLINGTON — Officials from Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports and the Pico Ski Education Foundation officially opened the doors to their new home, the Andrea Mead Lawrence Lodge at Pico Mountain, with a ribbon cutting ceremony Nov. 8. An open house was held Nov 9.

Volunteers, athletes, local residents, state and officials, donors, and the general public attended events, which showcased the first of its kind in Vermont, state-of the art facility.

Vermont Adaptive is the largest nonprofit organization in Vermont to offer daily adaptive sports programs throughout the state to people with disabilities. Ò The outpouring of support for creating this facility has been amazing,Ó said Erin Fernandez, executive director of Vermont Adaptive. Ò We canÕ t even begin to thank everyone who has been involved in the project.Ó The $1.3 million, 6,000 sq. ft. multi-use building is located between the existing Pico Ski Club building and the Pico Base Lodge and is connected to both buildings via outdoor balconies and decks on the second floor. The building is specifically designed by NBF Architects of Rutland for participants in Vermont AdaptiveÕ s programs, providing easy accessibility for all, regardless of oneÕ s disability. An elevator connects the first and second floors.

Naylor & Breen Builders, Inc., of Brandon, directed construction management.

Connections to the world of ski racing abound in the building including the buildingÕ s name, the Andrea Mead Lawrence Lodge, in honor of the Olympic champion and Pico Mountain skiing legend.

The $1.3 million Andrea Mead Lawrence Lodge at Pico Mountain opened Nov. 8.

Starksboro student receives scholarship STARKSBORO Ñ Olivia M. Plunkett, of Starksboro enrolled at Clark University this fall as a Making a Difference Scholar, one of five entering students to be awarded a scholarship for outstanding commitment to and leadership in community service activities.

While attending high school in Vermont, Plunkett pursued her interest in the art of sustainable farming. She interned at a local farm, contributing her labor in many aspects and helping create sustainable practices.

Plunkett traveled to Ghana four different times to participate in a range of service projects.

On the final, self-initiated African trip, the student worked with Ghanaian teenagers to understand different meanings of

happiness. The experience was incorporated into her senior honors thesis.

Plunkett’s other activities include working with a non-profit to organize art and discussion projects about personal and global identity for elementary students, as well as volunteering with an art program for developmentally delayed adults.

PlunkettÕ s sister is a Clark alumna, and her sisterÕ s friend was a MAD Scholar at Clark.

Besides the encouragement from faculty, campus friends and family, Plunkett said, Ò The manageable size, wonderful community, fifth-year—accelerated master’s—education program, and liberal arts curriculum is what drew me to Clark and ultimately pushed me towards committing.Ó

Women’s Cross Country wins NESCAC title Men finish second MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Middlebury College womenÕ s cross country team won its 12th NESCAC Championship on Saturday afternoon at Harness Memorial State Park in an event hosted by Connecticut College. The Panther men also turned in a strong performance, placing second overall in the 11-team field.

The Middlebury women ran away from the field, placing five of its runners among the top nine. The win was so convincing that any of the other top five racers combined would still not have beat the Panthers’ miniscule score of 29. Williams placed second with 51 points, followed

by Tufts in third with 90.

Snow, ice blamed for Route 4 accidents

WEST RUTLAND Ñ On Oct. 30, at approximately 7:55 a.m., Vermont State Police troopers responded to multiple motor vehicle crashes on Route 4 in West Rutland. The accidents were attributed to an early season snowfall coupled with the formation of surface black ice.

The location of the accidents was mile-marker 13 also known as the Twin Bridges.

Troopers found a total of three, single motor vehicle crashes. None of the operators or passengers were injured during these crashes.

One of crashes involved a 2007 Ford Escape operated

by William Canfield of Fair Haven. Canfield was traveling eastbound, approaching the bridge near mile marker 13, observed another vehicle which had been involved in a separate motor vehicle crash, applied the brakes, and lost control on the bridge.

Canfield’s vehicle sustained extensive damage to the passengerÕ s side of the vehicle and had to be towed from the scene by Hop-To-It towing.

Erzsebeth Nagy led the Middlebury effort with a second place overall finish in 21:27, seven seconds off the championship pace. Alison Maxwell wasn’t far behind, earning a third place finish in 21:43. The Panthers owned racers 7-9, all finishing within two seconds of one another. Emily Singer led the pack in 21:49, Sarah Guth was next with a time of 21:51.6, followed by Katie Rominger in ninth place in 21:51.7.

Though they didnÕ t score, Katherine Tercek was 11th (21:56) and Summer Spillane placed 12th (22:07).

At right: Middlebury’s Erzsebeth Nagy finished second overall at the NESCAC Championship.

Suspicious vehicle may be linked to theft BRISTOL Ă‘ New Haven State Police are asking for assistance in locating a suspicious vehicle that could be linked to a theft that was reported in Bristol last month.

Victims advised that while they were home a small sedan drove up their driveway, two white thin males described to be late 20s wearing baseball caps got out of the vehicle and took several items out of a garage. The victims advised that the two

males left quickly when they were confronted by one of the victims.

The vehicle is described by victims and some neighbors as what looks to be a home-painted matte grey sedan with a detached front drivers side fender, possibly an older model Chevrolet Malibu with unknown Vermont plates.

Neighbors advised troopers that the suspect vehicle often

drives north on Upper Notch Road between 6-7 a.m. and returns traveling south on Upper Notch Road to an unknown location each evening.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Vermont State Police at 802-388-4919. Information can also be submitted anonymously online at www.vtips.info or text CRIMES (274637) to Keyword: VTIPS.

Volunteer Spotlight: Meet Anne Weller Students take on leadership roles

VERGENNES Ñ Anne Weller, of Vergennes, has been a member of the Milk and Honey Quilt Guild in Addison County for over a decade.

The group, which meets monthly and often uses its meeting time to support a local charity, recently volunteered group time to help out the American Cancer Society. Anne, and her fellow seamstresses, took on the task of sewing Ò chemo capsÓ for use by local cancer patients.

As Anne explained it, she enjoys being part of a Ò wonderful groupÓ ; she also likes making soft beds for the homeless pets at the Homeward Bound Animal Welfare Center in Middlebury.

Regarding the personal rewards of sewing and volunteering, Ò I enjoy having friends to work together with in order to get projects done,Ó Weller said.

The Eagle thanks Serena Eddy Guiles of the Addison County RSVP and the Volunteer Center/Green Mountain Foster Grandparent Program for assistance with our salute to local volunteers. RSVP and the Volunteer Center is located at 48 Court St. in Middlebury.

Porter Medical

Teen cited for assault, theft

working conditions and our working conditions are the conditions in which quality patient care happens. The NLRB has fair and impartial procedures in place to determine the eligibility of the remaining ballots. We are confident the board will ratify our decision to form our union.Ó On Nov. 8, Shollenberger wrote in a news release that, Ò Registered nurses of Porter Medical Center have organized their union to empower and protect their patients and their profession by ensuring safe staffing to meet our patientÕ s physical, emotional, and spiritual needs; securing adequate resources to assist nursing in the delivery of safe, quality patient care; achieving a culture of continual learning and education to keep nursing knowledge and skills relevant to our rapidly changing environment; improving recruitment and retention and improving working conditions for nurses in all clinical settings; and negotiating a legally binding contract that fosters an environment of professionalism and respect where nurses have an equal voice in decision-making.Ó

WEYBRIDGE Ñ On Oct. 25, the Vermont State Police were called to a family fight in Weybridge. Sabrina Landen, 17, was taken into custody for domestic assault of a family member during an argument.

During the investigation family members told troopers of liqueur bottles in SabrinaÕ s room. Troopers observed a sticker placed on one of the bottles indicating it was purchased at an overseas military exchange.

Upon researching recent burglaries, a victim was located and identified the stolen bottles. The burglary had also occurred in Weybridge and several other items were stolen as well to include a green jacket with family sentimental value. No other stolen items were recovered.
