Fog, ice trigger tragedy Bridge construction to start this spring on Richville Dam Road SHOREHAM — On Dec. 27, 2009, at approximately 6:30 p.m., a Toyota operated by Rachel Herrick age 26, of Shoreham was westbound on the Richville Dam Road in Shoreham. It was foggy and the roads were ice covered and extremely slippery. As Herrick’s car traveled westbound, it slid off the northside of the road into a ditch. A Chevy truck operated by Peter J. Coe, age 43, of Shoreham was eastbound with family members when he stopped to help the occupants of Herrick’s car. Unfortunately, Coe died in the accident. A Shoreham volunteer firefighter pulled his vehicle into the westbound lane, facing east, in an attempt to pull out Herrick’s vehicle. The road is on a crest of a hill with a corner. Jason K. Vandeweert, age 30, of Addison, was operating a Chevy truck pulling an empty flatbed trailer, and was west bound when he crested the hill and observed Herrick’s vehicle in the eastbound lane. Vandeweert attempted to halt his vehicle, but due to the icy road conditions, was unable to stop. Vandeweert’s truck exited the northside of the road where the front of this vehicle collided with Coe who was standing outside of his vehicle. Vanderweert then collided with a CVPS power pole, a large tree and Herrick’s vehicle. Coe died as a result of injuries sustained in this collision. Vermont State Police were assisted at the scene by the Shoreham Volunteer Fire Department, Shoreham First Response and the Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association. This accident is currently under investigation. Anyone with any information is requested to contact Trooper Todd Conway at 388-4919.
Plow truck, SUV collide on Route 125 BRIDPORT — On Dec. 23, Paula Brooks, age 74, of Crown Point, N.Y., driving a 2004 Ford Expedition struck a 2002 International State of Vermont snowplow, with plow and wing attached. The plow truck was operated by Dean J. Degray, age 48, of Bridport. The accident occured on Route 125 in Bridport. At approximately 9:30 a.m. Brooks’ vehicle went out of control and crossed the center line of Route 125 and the left front of Brooks’ SUV collided with the left side of the snow plow in the west bound lane. Upon collision Brooks spun in a clockwise direction and the right side of the vehicle collided with left side of the Ford. The snowplow went off the north side of the road and end up in a ditch facing west. After the collision, Brooks went back across the center of the road and exited the south side of Route 125 and ended up facing north. Brooks was injured and was transported to Porter Hospital in Middlebury. It was snowing hard and the roads were snow covered and slippery. Vermont State Police were assisted at the scene by the Bridport Volunteer Fire Department and the Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association. The accident is currently under investigation. Any witnesses are asked to call the Vermont State Police New Haven Barracks at 388-4919.
ADDISON — The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) completed a critical task in the process reestablishing a transportation link between their states, by demolishing the 80-year-old Lake Champlain Bridge, thus paving the way for a new bridge that will sit in the footprint of the former one. As thousands lined the lakeshroe in a whiteout to watch the implosion in person, via the Internet and on television, New York’s blasting subcontractor, Advanced Explosives Demolition (AED), used some 500 pre-set high-tech linearshaped explosive charges to cut through the steel at 17,000 feet per second, bringing down the 80-yearold span in less than ten seconds. Following a burst of bright light and a nearly simultaneous boom of greater than 130 decibels, spans numbers 4 through 9—or more than 80 percent of the bridge—dropped into Lake Champlain. The fallen portions and the concrete piers that supported them will be removed before next spring along with the remainder of the bridge. The lake in that vicinity is to be open to navigational traffic in April. “We continue to move as quickly as possible to restore the vital connection between our states, and resume normal transportation across Lake Champlain on behalf of those who live near and depend on it in their daily lives,” said New York Governor David A. Paterson. “The bridge coming down weighs heavy on our hearts, but it is a critical task that is now completed. The former

ronmental and historical integrity of the area.” "It was an honor to be a part of the effort today to bring down the old Lake

Suspicious fire destroys camp RIPTON — On Dec. 23 at 1 a.m. the State Police Barracks in New Haven received a call about a fire that occurred at a camp on Goshen Road in Ripton. A man who plows the camp driveway discovered the remnants of the camp. Given the remote location of the camp the fire was never reported to the Ripton Fire Department. The exact date of the fire is unknown. The fire occurred sometime between Oct. 25 and Dec. 23, 2009. No one was hurt in the fire and the estimated damage is approximately $15,000. The cause of the fire is suspicious. It is believed the fire was intentionally set.

Snow, fog limit visibility for spectators at bridge demolition lives,” Paterson said. “The bridge coming down weighs heavy on our hearts, but it is a critical task that is now completed,” he said. “The former Lake Champlain Bridge, which served our states well since it opened in 1929, had outlived its lifespan. Once the new bridge is built, we will have an even more majestic connection between our states, and the communities in the surrounding areas will benefit from a span that will be more modern, but will preserve the environmental and historical integrity of the area.” Roads leading to the bridge were closed to the public. A safety zone of 1,000 feet was established for land access and a 2,000 foot no-fly zone was declared by the Federal Aviation Association. The demolition was handled by Advanced Explosives Demolition, Inc. of Idaho. In order to protect the public during the Lake

Champlain Bridge demolition and subsequent debris removal, the United States Coast Guard has established a water safety zone of a minimum of 1,000 feet on either side of the bridge. No vessels, vehicles or people are permitted within the area without Coast Guard approval through April 15 to allow the channel to be cleared of debris.

“I went to Port Henry to watch the demolition, but there was zero visibility so I went home to watch it on TV,” Crown Point Supervisor Bethany Kosmider said. “From what I saw, it was very quick, not as loud as they said it would be and an impressive display of precision by a internationallyknown company. “It is sad to see the old bridge go down, but staying focused to the future, I am hopeful that the new bridge will move along as smoothly as the demolition,” she said. “Mother Nature certainly did not want to cooperate today but the job was accomplished anyway.” New York Gov. David Paterson said the demolition is a key step in restoring normal traffic to the region. “We continue to move as quickly as possible to restore the vital connection between our states, and resume normal transportation across Lake Champlain on behalf of those who live near and depend on it in their daily

CROWN POINT — After more than 80 years of service, the Lake Champlain Bridge has been retired. The span, which was closed Oct. 16 after structural problems were discovered, was demolished Dec. 28 to make way for a new bridge. “It was a little sad,” said Nancy Frasier, Times of Ti photographer, who covered the demolition. “After all these years to see it come down like that was sad.” Construction of a new bridge is planned to start in the spring with completion targeted for summer 2011. A new ferry service is being readied near the former bridge in Crown Point to serve motorists while a new structure is being built. The Ticonderoga ferry is also running with the help of anti-ice measures. The Lake Champlain Bridge opened Aug. 26, 1929, with two governors — New York’s Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vermont’s John L. Weeks — leading the festivities. This week’s demolition was nearly as festive. Hundreds of people turned out in New York and Vermont to
watch as the bridge was imploded and crashed into the lake. Public viewing areas were set up at Port Henry Beach and Bulwagga Bay in New York as well as along Route 125 in Vermont. The spectacle was televised live and broadcast on the internet. It was covered by more than 100 media members. Snow and fog at the time of the demolition limited visibility to a half mile. Sirens sounded 10, 5 and 1 minute before the demolition to warn people of the blast, but many of those watching missed the actual explosion because it happened so quickly — in about 2 seconds. Slow-motion replays of the event showed a series of 500 charges exploding along the 2,184-foot bridge and its collapse. “I could see it well,” said Frasier, who was located in a special media zone at the Crown Point Historic Site. “There was some fog, but I could clearly see the lights (charges) flashing, the explosion and the bridge coming down. “It was kinda exciting,” she added. Some of those planning to watch the event gave up because of the conditions.

Remember those fearsome folks H
ere today, writing with background public television audio filling the air with Andy Williams Christmas memories. Andy Williams, what a guy. Do Andy Williams type guys still exist? I think so. I like to think Andy Williams type guys exist, and as I write they’re helping their families trim Christmas trees with all the joy and anticipation this very cold December 20th pre-Christmas day offers. This time of year, is, a favorite time of year; when humans gather together to hug, kiss, and love one another. At least till they take the tree down. The last line, that’s what comedians do. They take brightly filled moments and add dark. Then too, they take moments filled with darkness, and add light. Hence, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Have a loving, warm, blah, blah, holiday time. While you’re at it, recall, really recall, fireman, police, and medical workers, now so many years ago, purposefully walking (running), south on F.D.R. drive, guts made of stone, deadly reckoned toward burning Twin Towers, facing an event they never in a million dreams could have imagined. Recall, while you fa la la la la, those fearsome folks, to the point that one of the la’s from your fa la la la la, disappears, leaving a space you will replace with gratitude for those who keep us safely la la la la la-ing, all year round.

SATURDAY January 2, 2010
Appalachia’s north end S
eparated by some 850 miles are two high schools, each in the foothills of a different region of the Appalachian Mountain range. One school is a nominally-private academy in Manchester, Vt. It accepts, on tuition (in fact depends for survival on them) the 91 percent of its student body which has transferred in from local public grade schools in the surrounding, mostly intra-county, area. The other school is a typical public high school in Erwin, Tenn. It receives its students from the surrounding intracounty area also. Nearby hill color differentiation (one called the Green Mountains the other called the Blue Ridge) and latitudinal separation notwithstanding (7 degrees, Burr & Burton Academy at about 43 degrees N and Unicoi County HS at about 36 degrees N) the two schools aren’t much different in their student bodies—small-town teenage Americans—or their achievement levels or their racial make-up. Where they differ, markedly, is in their governance. One, in the county named in the English language for 18th century New Hampshire land-grantor Benning Wentworth, has just raised its tuition charges 6 percent, more than twice the less-than-3 percent statewide school budget increase. No mention in the various news accounts of student achievement or the productivity trends at BBA. Related factoids: from the 2008 National Digest of Educational Statistics, you can read that average pupil-teacher ratio in Vermont is 1-to10.8 and annual per-pupil cost $13.5K. The other, in the county named in the Cherokee language for the nearby sometimes-called-smoky mountain-top haze, has just petitioned Tennessee state government for higher K12 academic standards. No mention in the various news accounts of any (beyond the basic inflation rate) budget change. Related factoids: NDES Table 66 shows the TN p/t ratio at 1-to-15.7 and Table 182 shows the annual per-pupil cost at $7.7K. Like Bennington County and all of Vermont, Unicoi County, Tenn., is, at 98 percent, statistically all white for NDES purposes, which shows in Table 121 that the U.S. fourth grade average reading score is 220 overall and 230 for whites (out of 500) with Vermont at 228 (229w) and Tennessee at 216 (224w) while Utah, with the largest p/t ratio in the nation at 1-to22.1, and a resulting annual per-pupil cost of $6.7K, comes in at 221 (226w). The “proficiency” percentages by race aren’t shown, but all are well below 50 percent and at about 30% when you do your own adjustment. For example, the Vermont (w) average score is a point or two below the US(w) av-
erage, but the Vermont total at 41 percent “proficient” with a score of 228 is 9 points above the US total at 32 percent “proficient” with a score of 220. The NDES doesn’t show 8th grade reading breakdowns for smaller schools like BBA or UHS, nor does it show breakdowns by race, but the overall State scores come in at 261 for the US, 273 for VT, 259 for TN, and a very-interesting 282 for UT. Clearly, the typical educrat small-classes-produce-better-achievement argument isn’t working too well in the “Industry” or “Beehive” State, which also posts the highest “proficiency” number at 42 percent and at the lowest annual-per-pupil cost. At the state level, there’s another similarity: both Vermont and Tennessee have been sufficiently uncomfortable with their students’ scores on the Federal NAEP tests, which are “free”, that they’ve gone out into the publishing market to purchase and deploy and publicize the ‘results’ from, easier tests which are sold on the promise that students will show better scores: NECAP for Vermont, TCAP for Tennessee. But there the similarity ends, at least at the county level. Consider, for example, how the local governance of high school education in Bennington County has chosen a quite-different focus of attention than those similarly entrusted in Unicoi County. If you accept the proposal that BBA is probably pretty typical of Vermont’s schools, and UHS equally so in Tennessee, then maybe you’ll accept the printed fact that they reflect an achievement difference of only 5 points out of 229 or a nearstatistically-insignificant 2 percent. With such similarity at the student level, whence cometh the vast difference in governance focus? That the BBA Trustees are pursuing more money, while the UHS Commissioners are pursuing more achievement, is obvious; but the underlying why isn’t. It’s tempting to argue that east-of-the-Appalachians Vermont is in general more gentrified by suburbanite in-migration than west-of-the-Appalachians Tennessee; and that Bennington County in Vermont is even more so, with Unicoi County even less so, and then drawing the usual Jeffersonian conclusions therefrom. Or maybe there’s another reason. I report, you opine. Former Vermont architect Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
Inside the Local Bubble
D
id you know that you live inside an immense bubble in space? This big cavity has been dubbed the Local Bubble by astronomers. The Local Bubble is actually a vast “hole” that was opened in the interstellar medium that surrounds our Sun; it extends for over 1,000 lightyears in at least one direction. Researchers aren’t 100 percent certain what formed the Local Bubble but it’s looking more like a nearby supernova, of the violent TypeII variety, excavated the hole. The resulting blast punched through the interstellar dust and gas that originally surrounded our local region of space. Think of a fireball of a thermonuclear nuclear device but on a vast interstellar scale. As the shockwave front of a Type-II fireball spreads out into deep space, it blows away everything in its path. Ironically, astronomers have benefited from the Local Bubble. Because our local region of space has been swept clear of much of its dust and gas, deep-sky telescopic observing has offered a “clearer” view in the direction of the bubble’s point of origin; we’d never have known this fact if we didn’t, first, have the understanding of looking out from inside this Local Bubble. Also, if we didn’t have astronomical instruments capable of observing space in the extreme ultraviolet (UV) region of the electromagnetic spectrum, we probably wouldn’t have been able to discover the Local Bubble in the first place. Back in 1975, astronomers first noticed that, in wavelengths ranging from 10 to 100 nm, short-wavelength photons were ionizing neutral hydrogen atoms. This evidence suggested that some kind of a monster “hole” or bubble existed in the space around our solar system. The Local Bubble extends 1,000 light-years (300 parsecs) in the direction of the star Beta Canis Majoris in the constellation Canis Major. In 1992, NASA’s Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer spacecraft was the first to map the Local Bubble. At the same time, the European ROSAT spacecraft detected a pulsating beam of X-rays that strongly suggested a possible point of origin for the bubble in space. Energetic x-rays are almost always the fingerprints left behind at a dramatic cosmic “crime” scene—an enormous uncontrolled thermonuclear explosion, sending out high energy subatomic particles from “ground zero”, must have blown through our region of space like a tsunami. This cosmic tsunami, the shockwave of the immense stellar explosion, opened up our Local Bubble. It has not been clearly identified if there were extinctions on Earth associated with the event that created the Local Bubble; much re-
search remains to be done with the fossil record. The X-ray source detected by ROSAT in 1992 is located 300 light-years (100 parsecs) or more away in the constellation Gemini. It was quickly dubbed “Geminga” by Italian astronomer Giovanni Bignami who was involved in analyzing the ROSAT x-ray data. Geminga, as Bignami tells it, is an Italian word that means “I’m not there!”—an appropriate name since at the time of detection, no object could be resolved at the focal point of the pulsed x-ray beams. Later, Bignami and his team of astronomers were credited with discovering a pulsar object at the location of the Gemini X-rays. In 1997, it was suggested by astronomer John Mattox that a planetary system, obviously formed after the supernova event, exists around Geminga. A pulsar, short for pulsating star, is a rapidly rotating, very dense, neutron star that forms after a supernova explosion. The cores of these pulsars are composed of super dense matter, made purely of neutrons, popularly called neutronium. (A teaspoon size of neutronium would pass of its own weight completely through the Earth!) Bignami estimates that Geminga may have exploded 300,000 or more years ago. This estimate is based on the pulsar ’s lengthening pulse period. Geminga appears to have been left over from the Type-II supernova—the original stellar heavyweight that delivered the massive one, two punch that created our Local Bubble. What’s in the Sky: On Jan. 3, in the pre-dawn sky of the northeast, look for the distinctive constellation Cygnus the Swan. In the middle of the Swan’s neck is the star Chi Cygni. C.C. was originally a star just like the Sun but it has swollen to a red-giant star. This same fate also awaits our Sun.

2009: Year in Review
Richmond man receives green leadership award RICHMOND—A Richmond resident was the recipient of a new national fellowship in 2009. The award is designed to advance the work of individuals with outstanding potential to help shape a brighter environmental future. Jim Shallow was one of only 40 people selected from competitors nationwide for the TogetherGreen Conservation Leadership Program, part of a new conservation initiative of the National Audubon Society with support from Toyota. Fellows receive specialized training in conservation planning and execution, the chance to work and share best practices with gifted conservation professionals, and assistance with project outreach and evaluation. Each Fellow also received $10,000 towards a community-focused project to engage local residents in conserving land, water and energy, and contributing to greater environmental health. For his fellowship, Shallow focused his efforts on conserving the Sherman Hollow Brook Watershed now and into the future. He will be testing new software to apply the principles of Adaptive Management - to create strategies that work with community to protect the natural resources of Sherman Hollow. He used this experience to teach to other conservationists who need to develop more effective conservation plans themselves. Sherman Hollow is a unique place where nature, education and recreation come together. Development threatens to fragment forest habitat and degrade water quality in the watershed. Shallow’s project worked with the people in the community to protect wildlife habitat, open space and the opportunities to earn about nature, wildlife and conservation at the Green Mountain Audubon Center, Birds of Vermont Museum and the Sleepy Hollow Inn and Ski Touring Center. Involved in conservation efforts for two decades, Shallow is the conservation and policy director of Audubon Vermont. He previously served as the Vermont Natural Resources Council’s Forest Program Director and as Audubon Vermont’s Executive Director—giving him the background and experience that he can now share with other conservationists to support and strengthen their own efforts. “Jim is the kind of person who can make a real difference in the health of our environment and the quality of our future,” said Audubon President John Flicker. “Each of our TogetherGreen Fellows demonstrates exceptional environmental understanding and commitment, combined with tremendous potential to inspire and lead others. Together, they represent the talented and diverse leadership the environmental community will need to tackle the huge challenges and opportunities confronting us now and in the years to come.” “I have the privilege to live and work in a landscape that is home to both dynamic conservation minded-people and communities and vibrant wildlife populations,” said Shallow. “This fellowship will help me tap into a national network to give back to the local community and help protect the wildlife, forests and rivers we all cherish.” Shallow has been affiliated with Audubon Vermont since 1997. Half of the TogetherGreen fellows come from within Audubon’s far-reaching national network; half channel their environmental efforts through other organizations. Shallow received a Bachelors degree in history and political science from Colorado College. In addition to his duties for Audubon Vermont, Shallow sits on the board of the Vermont League of Conservation Voters and is a founding member of the Vermont Woodlands Association.
VERGENNES — Back in 1987, Win Grant saw the 1930s era Kennedy Brothers facility as an unique business opportunity. The giant, former woodware factory was an ideal locale to develop a crafts and antique center for local artisans and dealers. “In 1987, we converted the factory into the current configuration to enable crafters and antique dealers to market their goods directly to the public,” said Grant. “We have adjusted our product mix over the years to match the current market conditions. We still rent small to large craft booths to juried crafters and have a large antiques shop. The new configuration has opened opportunities for the other businesses to join us in our offerings.” Since the ‘80s, Kennedy Brothers Country Store and Gift Shop has grown as a destination-attraction for shoppers looking for Vermont food and craft products. Kennedy Brothers’ fresh fudge is famous beyond Vermont along with fancy foods and the equally fine Kennedy Woodware. (The Scoop Shop and the deli are also favorites.) But the onslaught of the 2009 recession has been merciless on many local businesses and Kennedy Brothers is no exception. With several areas inside the giant facility vacated, owner Win Grant had to think creatively to revitalize his local enterprise venture. Enter Vermont Sun, a popular physical fitness establishment based on Exchange Street in Middlebury. When Vermont Sun owner Steve Hare decided to close a fitness centers in Florida earlier this year, he faced liquidating or storing thousands of dollars worth of the latest high-tech exercise gear from treadmills to weight machines. Recognizing a Vermont business opportunity, and knowing that Kennedy Brothers was in search of new commercial tenants, Hare contacted Grant for a meeting. The result was a landlord-tenant arrangement made in heaven. With Kennedy Brothers’ vacant 3,000square-foot upstairs area boasting copi-
Win Grant, owner of Kennedy Brothers, and Steve Hare, owner of Vermont Sun, formed a friendly landlord-tenant commercial “partnership” to revitalize the classic 1930s woodware factory in Vergennes. ous amounts of natural lighting, high ceilings, reinforced concrete flooring, and classic brick work, Hare envisioned a Vergennes expansion of his Middlebury Vermont Sun operation. Ironically, a Vergennes city committee—after surveying the community of its needs and wants—had just recommended that the Little City consider establishing a fitness center for local residents. As the old zen-master saying goes, when the student is ready a teacher appears, but in this case, when the community is ready to work out, a fitness center appears. The installation of men’s and women’s showers, secure locker areas, UV suntanning booths, a conference room, giant television wallscreens, and other fitness center appointments are now underway at Vermont Sun-Vergennes—all in preparation for the facility’s Jan. 9-10 grand opening and open house. The public is welcome to drop by at that time between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. “I am psyched about this,” said Win Grant. “Steve Hare is helping us reinvent
Kennedy Brothers while serving our great community by providing a comfortable, safe place for physical fitness that’s vital to our health and well being.” Hare was equally reinvigorated while looking over his new Vergennes fitness domain. “Our emphasis here, as it is in Middlebury, is on individuals and families. We provide memberships that include personal training for under $100,” said Hare. “Ron Dedrick, our general manager here in Vergennes, will also be our personal trainer. Ron is happy to welcome anyone from age 12 to 100. And a Vermont Sun membership will be good at both Middlebury and Vergennes facilities.” According to Dedrick, the community is already chomping at the bit to learn more about Vermont Sun’s benefits. “Well, the buzz is very good,” Dedrick said. “We’re looking forward to our Jan. 9-10 open house event and meeting the public. I think they’ll be very impressed with the facility and what we can offer them.”

From the Editor
“Vote ‘yes’ now, pay later” U
65685
.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) is bringing home the bacon this holiday season and he’s lugging it back here in familiar cooperage: the good ol’ fashioned pork barrel. Sen. Leahy’s gift to Vermonters—and all Americans for that matter—is 100 percent pure, Capitol Hill pork. On Dec. 21, the Senator from Vermont nabbed us $250 million in U.S. Government funds to “offset” Vermont's Medicare contribution for a period of six years. Clever dealing, you say? Well, think again. The Senator ’s Dec. 21 midnight largess, at the expense of the American public, may sound sweet at first blush except for the fact that the rest of us will have to pick up the bar bill when fed funds are exhausted, six years hence. At the end of Mr. Leahy’s Senate-brokered grace period, Vermonters will be forced to pay the Medicare piper—for at that time, the state will be saddled with an enormous unfunded D.C. mandate that it will be obliged to pay. And at what price? More taxes? More closed businesses? More jobs moved out-of-state? Thanks to last month’s pork-barrel handouts to wavering Democrat Senators (Senator Leahy was not alone), cynical sweetheart deals are now the expected way to govern—rather, buy votes—in order to support the Obama administration’s Bloated Government Wish List. We’ll see more of this as the clock counts down to the 2012 election—include everything from health care and carbon taxes to immigration reform and—who knows what else? Be prepared for more dark-of-the-night vote buying schemes by our cynical U.S. Senate and House leadership. In the wee-small hours of the morning of Dec. 21, while you and I were asleep in our beds dreaming of Christmas gifts under the tree, certain of our U.S. Senate dressed up like the Grinch and voted to silence debate on the nation’s most historically flawed health-care bill ever—all for the sake of demonstrating that the Democrats had the votes needed for passage.
Visit us on the web at: www.beltedcowvt.com
The Senate’s backroom deal-making came only after its leaders made plenty of budget-busting “arrangements” with certain senators in order to buy their support. Here are two of the most talked about examples (in addition to Vermont’s “Vote ‘Yes’ Now and Pay Later” deal): •The “Cornhusker Kickback”: Designed expressly with U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson’s wavering vote in mind. The kickback exempts Nelson’s windswept state of Nebraska from sharing the cost for putting certain of its low-income residents on Medicaid. A sweet deal. Oh, we forgot to mention that a U.S. Air Force Base scheduled for closing in Nebraska will now, miraculously, remain open. (Yes, Nebraska, there is a Santa Claus!) Regarding this Medicaid deal, Nebraska is now off the hook to the federal government; instead, the taxpayers—that’s you and me—will pick up the tab, apparently, in perpetuity. •The “Louisiana Purchase”: The Louisiana Purchase of 2009 makes President Thomas Jefferson’s original Louisiana Purchase look shabby. Louisiana U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu made a very sweet deal with an extra $300 million in Medicaid funding thrown in for her state. The U.S. Senate’s after-midnight vote buying is a sign of how out of touch Washington is with today’s average Americans. The Senators who voted yes have scant regard for taxpayer dollars and even less regard for taxpayers. Real health-care reform that can be trusted will require open debate, transparency, and bipartisanship. The onesided majority party, business-as-usual sweetheart dealmaking simply won’t get the job the done. Instead, genuine health care reform will require serious tort reforms, cost reductions, more interstate competition among insurers, and more free-market ideas than what’s been discussed so far. As we’re learning, consuming Chicagolandstyle pork is bad for your nation’s financial health. Lou Varricchio with others

Bridge From page 1 Champlain Bridge. This is an important step in the processes of reestablishing this critical transportation link," said Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas. "We want the new bridge in place as soon as possible, and today’s effort will ensure that we are ready to begin building a replacement bridge in the spring, when the weather permits. This collaborative project with our partners in New York will protect our treasured connection between Crown Point, New York, and Chimney Point, Vermont that has existed for centuries." The former Lake Champlain Bridge had been ordered closed on Oct. 16, 2009 when engineers who were in the process of repairing the upper portion of the span detected an exposed crack in one of the piers that had previously been submerged. Despite NYSDOT’s rigorous inspection schedule which had shown underwater deterioration at the rate of about an inch every five years for some twenty years since New York and Vermont gained control of the bridge, from 2005 to 2008 an inexplicable 14 inches of additional deterioration had occurred, making the bridge unsafe and unstable. The 2,184-foot-long bridge, also known as the Crown Point Bridge, was opened to traffic on Aug. 26, 1929 with a ribbon cutting ceremony conducted by New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vermont Governor John E. Weeks. It was a toll bridge until 1987 when the Lake Champlain Bridge Commission that operated it was abolished and ownership was transferred to New York and Vermont. On November 9, after the closure of the bridge and the conclusion of intensive testing, the two states announced that the investigation determined that it was not feasible to repair, and set the course for it demolition and construction of a new bridge in its place. The demolition also was streamed live on the New York State Department of Transportation Web site, as well as the Web sites of sev-
eral media outlets in New York and Vermont. A video of the demolition is available on the NYSDOT Web site at https://www.nysdot.gov/la kechamplainbridge. NYSDOT engineers have been working with HNTB, an award-winning design consultant, to develop designs for the replacement bridge. HNTB, which has consistently ranked among Engineering News-Record’s top design firms, fast-tracked the design phase of the new
bridge, and presented its recommendations to the bridge Public Advisory Committee (PAC) as well as the general public earlier this month. New York and Vermont created the PAC in October 2009 to represent the public views regarding the old Lake Champlain Bridge and its replacement. Both the PAC and the general public, through an inperson and an on-line survey made available by NYSDOT, viewed six renditions for a

replacement bridge, and recommended a Modified Network, Tied Arch Bridge concept. The Modified Network, Tied Arch Bridge is a steel structure with a handlelike arch along the main span. Multiple redundancies in the design make this bridge significantly safer than the existing structure and ensure at least a 75-year service life. The design also is visually pleasing, complementing the mountainous back drop. A rendering of
and more details about the Modified Network, Tied Arch Bridge can be found at www.nysdot.gov/lakecham plainbridge/alternatives. Public preference will be one of many factors considered by NYSDOT and VTrans in the final determination of the design of the replacement bridge which is expected in January after further consultation with project stakeholders. Preliminary construction work for the new bridge is expected to begin in

Ask Dr. Curtis Gross Chiropractor Q: Should I have some sort of support when I am sitting for a long length of time like watching TV or riding in a car?A: Most of us will benefit a lot from using a lumbar cushion to properly position our low back. Sitting is much more stressful on our spine than lying down or sitting. When we are seated for long periods, we tend to slump more and more. A properly designed support cushion will prevent excess slumping, which is a great benefit. It will not only help with our low back, but with our upper back and neck as well. Slumping causes improper pressure of the spinal bones on each other, muscular imbalance and possible nerve pressure. Over time, these changes tend to become very difficult to correct. Preventing these problems is very important, so using a cushion is something everyone should consider. “the greatest wealth is health” Call 388-6376, mention this article and schedule an appointment for a FREE Evaluation and Xrays. www.middleburychiropractic.com

2009: Year in Review
Hinesburg firm to use LIDAR on wind farms NRG Systems, a Hinesburg-based manufacturer of wind measurement equipment, and Leosphere, a specialist in LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) techonology for atmospheric observations, announced the formation of a partnership to expand the use of remote sensing with lidar in the wind energy industry in 2009. LIDAR is an optical remote sensing technology that measures scattered light to determine the distance of a distant target. The first product of the partnership is the Windcube™ LIDAR wind-measurement system, a remote sensor used in site assessment and wind-farm performance monitoring. “I couldn’t be happier to announce this news,” said Alex Sauvage, president and CEO of Leosphere last year. “The Windcude is the result of 20 years of intensive research and development – it’s a flexible, easy-to-use technology that has proven to reduce data uncertainty and project risks in the wind energy industry. Partnering with NRG Systems sends a signal that using LIDAR in wind resource assessment is an accepted part of the process.” The Windcube™ has been deployed by developers, consultants, turbine manufacturers, and research institutes in 18 countries around the world. In site assessment, the portable system is used to capture actual measurements at heights up to 200 meters that can be used along with met mast data. With NRG Systems’ wind measurement expertise and industry knowledge, the companies aim to accelerate the use of this proven technology around the globe. “As the industry has evolved so has the need to measure ac-

Urethane Foam Operations With ever rising heating costs, more Vermonters are recognizing the importance of properly insulating their homes. In decades past, energy efficiency did not have the precedence that it does today so many older homes have drafts and air leaks from which heat can escape. Unchecked air leaks can account for a large percentage of a homeowner’s heating bill and certain areas are often overlooked when insulating your home. Urethane Foam Operations of Brandon, Vt. specializes in sealing your home from the elements in addition to insulating it. Using specially designed sprayers, urethane foam is applied as a liquid directly to the inside wall or above the ceiling. The foam expands to fill cracks and other areas that are hard to reach using fiberglass insulation, effectively sealing your home from cold air and moisture. In many cases the walls do not even have to be removed to receive the benefits of foam insulation. By sealing key areas that are often overlooked, homeowners can drastically reduce their heating bills. In fact, the process can pay for itself in as little as five to seven years. To save costs, urethane spray foam can also be combined with fiberglass insulation. Be sure not to be left out in the cold this winter and call Urethane Foam Operations today!

Vermont vineyards win awards
“Floydian Slip” show returns to airwaves
Lincoln Pk., Shelburne local winners
Burlington's WBKM has signed on as the first affiliate station of the "Floydian Slip" radio show in 2009. "Floydian Slip," an hour of Pink Floyd hosted by Craig Bailey, resumed production Sept. 19 with Show 702. WBKM, which stands for "Burlington's Kinda Music," will carry the show 11 p.m. Saturdays. "Floydian Slip" went off the air June 7, 2009, after a more than 13Radio host year run on Champ 101.3 in BurlingCraig Bailey ton. Bailey had produced the show for other stations prior to Champ, going back to his senior year of college in 1989. Since Champ cancelled the show citing the station's changing format and the show's lack of sponsorship, Bailey has been working to bring it back to the air on multiple stations as a syndicated offering under the moniker of the Random Precision Radio Network. "I'm excited to start back up with the guys at WBKM," he said, "and hope they're the first of many stations that'll give listeners the chance to hear the show." Owned and operated by Tony Gallucci and Eric Koval in downtown Burlington, WBKM began netcasting an eclectic mix of programming in November 2007.
NEW HAVEN—A New Haven-based vineyard and winery won a prestigious “cold climate” ward recently. Lincoln Peak Vineyard’s Marquette wine won the "Best in Show" red wine trophy at the 2009 International Cold Climate Wine Competition "ICCWC", held Aug. 25 at the University of Minnesota's Conference Center in Saint Paul, Minn. Other awards won by Vermont wineries include: Lincoln Peak Vineyard, two double gold medals, one gold medal, and two silver medals; Shelburne Vineyards in Shelburne, Vt.: one gold and two bronze medals; Fresh Tracks Farm Vineyard and Winery in Berlin, Vt.: one gold, two silver and one bronze medal. The inaugural year's competition included 315 Cold Climate wines from commercial wineries in 16 states including, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, New Hampshire and Connecticut in the east, Nebraska, Nevada, Montana and Wyoming in the west, and the Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky and host state Minnesota with 19 participating wineries. Awards were based on blind tastings by 15 expert judges from Minnesota and several other states. Judges included prominent wine writers, restaurateurs, retailers, and wine educators. Three-judge panels determined the initial awards, with the top-scoring Best of Show wines evaluated by five- judge panels and all 15 judges for the Minnesota Governor's Cup award. The competition is open to commercial wineries meeting the criteria for cold-hardy grape or fruit content. The following wines were awarded double gold medals: Lincoln Peak Vineyard 2008 La Crescent; Lincoln Peak Vineyard 2008 Marquette; Mac's Creek Winery and Vineyards 2008 Edelweiss; Saint Croix Vineyards 2007 Marechal Foch.
