Lake Champlain yields huge northern pike
By Eric LaMontagne
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MALLETS BAY, Vt. — The January day started with low expectations. Thin ice, shallow water, and broken tip-ups and augers all led to the conclusion that it would be a slow day on the ice for Vermonter Craig Smith and his fishing buddies. And indeed it was to start. So much so that, after a couple hours, Smith left the ice for his son’s basketball game, leaving the line in the hands of some buddies. Around half time he got a status r eport fr om them: one fish, an 1 1.5-pound northern pike. Nothing to be excited about. The slow prediction was proving itself. After the game, Smith returned to the ice to check in on everyone. Still, ther e was nothing. They waited for a flag, but after a couple mor e actionless hours they made one last check of the traps, starting with the one nearest to the shanty. Anyone who fishes with Smith knows that he gets his joy from watching others pull up fish. “The thrill for me is bringing others out on the ice. I usually set the traps and bait the hooks, but I rarely ever actually reel the fish in.” This, he said, is what made this fish so special. “The most incredible part for me is that catching it was a total accident.” See NORTHERN PIKE, page 7

Middlebury unveils community solar project
gpahl@sover.net MIDDLEBURY — The ribbon-cutting cer emony for Acorn Ener gy Solar One (AESO), the community solar photovoltaic pr oject organized by the Acorn Renewable Ener gy Co-op of Middlebury, was held on last week behind the Middlebury Police Station just off Lucius Shaw Lane. In addition to a number of project participants and supporters, the cer emony was attended by representatives of the three main partners, Co-operative Insurance Companies of Middlebury, the T own of Middlebury and the Acorn Ener gy Co-op. “This ribbon-cutting r epresents the culmination of over a year of planning and hard work,” said Greg Pahl, board president of the Acorn
Renewable Energy Co-op. “I want to thank everyone who has helped us make this collaborative community pr oject a reality.” The AESO project received its final inspections and began pr oducing electricity during the last week of December, just before the year-end deadline. AESO, the legal entity that owns the pr oject, worked with Encore Redevelopment of Burlington on pr oject development and constr uction management. Alteris Renewables, Inc. of Montpelier, was the general contractor for the 148-kilowatt project. “We’re very excited that the solar array is in the ground and pr oducing clean, sustainable, af fordable power,” said Dave Tatlock, Chief Financial Officer of Co-op Insurance. “It’s a real cr edit to the Acorn Energy Co-op, the T own of

Middlebury, and all the other parties involved that we were able to make this vision a reality. We look forward to seeing other local companies help to develop similar projects.” AESO is leasing the acre of town-owned land located at the former wastewater treatment plant site that is hosting the gr oup net meter ed, 528-panel, p hotovoltaic a rray. The ground mounted so-
lar array is expected to generate 172,500 kilowatt hours of electricity each year— enough to pr ovide electricity for ar ound 30 average homes.

Select Board plans for Town Meeting Day initiatives By Kathleen Ramsay
M I D D L E B U RY — R i v e r Management T ask For ce Project Manager Amy Sheldon reported on the work of the task force during December and so far in January. A V ermont State W atershed Grant Application was submitted to V ermont Fish and W ildlife. Grant awar ds are announced in February. Middlebury's Public Assistance representative from FEMA indicated that Grist Mill Bridge floodwall was eligible for a permanent fix with taxpayers assistance. This will provide 75 percent funding for study and repair or replace the floodwall. A letter of intent was submitted to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Pr ogram, FEMA money administered by Vermont Emer gency Management, indicating the town’s interest in submitting a planning grant app lication. This money will cover 75 percent of the cost of completing a town wide, all hazards plan (required to be eligible for HMGP funding for infrastructure r epairs and improvements). Part of the plan will include an engineering study of the river fr om Sand Hill Bridge to the U.S. Route 7 bridge. The first meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the project, including State of V ermont Stream Alteration Engineer Patrick Ross, Fisheries Biologist Chet McKenzie, River Scientist Shannon Pytlik, U.S. Army Corps Engineer Marty Abair and ACRCP Senior Planner T im Bouton met in East Middlebury. The TAC conducted a site visit and discussed moving

forward with issuing a RFP for an engineering study of the river and assistance with developing a compr ehensive strategy to reduce flood risks to r esidents and the general public, impr ove property pr otection, r educe long-term infrastr ucture management costs, enhance river functions, including: in-stream and terr estrial habitat, flood and sediment storage capacity and water quality impr ovements through r educed bank er osion. In the inter est of keeping the public informed of the effort, the Middlebury Select Board asked the T ask For ce to continue its regular reports. Town plan update Middlebury Planning Commission Chairwoman Nancy Malcolm gave the board an overview of the Town Planning pr ocess and a status r eport on the update. The current Town Plan expires in June and the Planning Commission has been working diligently to pr epare a revised Town Plan for review in a series of public meetings both befor e the
Planning Commission and Select Boar d in the coming months before the plan is readopted. The draft Town Plan should be ready for distribution soon. Middlebury Fire Station Project, construction bond vote Middlebury Fir e Station Committee members Peter Brakeley and Pat Shaw updated the board on the project, which is pr ogressing as anticipated, on time and on budget. If the bond for the pr oject is appr oved at T own Meeting, the constr uction of the stations will begin the first week of May. There will be a series of opportunities for voters to learn more about the project which is scheduled for bond vote at the Mar ch T own Meeting: A Middlebury Fire Station documentary video is currently r unning on MCTV . There will be an informational meeting/open house at the Fire Station on Feb. 2. A mailer will be sent to voters the week of Feb. 13. The Middlebury Fir e Station Committee will r eport to the Select Boar d at the
meeting on Feb. 14. The Middlebury Police Department's annual bike sale will be held at the Seymour Street Fire Station. The bike sale will serve double duty as an open house for the new fire station project. Middlebury Town Manager Bill Finger noted that the estimated inter est rate for bonding for the pr oject is down to 3.455 per cent fr om the 4 per cent originally anticipated, which will r educe the cost of financing for the project if the interest rate holds until the bonds are issued in July. Fire District 1-East Middlebury Annual Meeting. East Middlebury W ater System Operator , Resident and Select Boar d member Susan Shashok gave a brief report on the Fir e District's Annual Meeting. Election r esults: Sally Laframboise, collector of the fire tax and water r ents and treasurer, Mike Newton, Prudential Committee Member, Peggy Peabody, Prudential Committee clerk, Susie Martell, auditor , and Jack Brown, moderator. The Fire District members thanked Joyce Haggarty for
her dedicated service and her assistance in transitioning the collection position to Sally Laframboise. Shashok noted that the Prudential Committee plans to incr ease the water r ents by 5 percent. The committee members anticipate several significant water -system r eviews and upgrades will be needed in the near future. The committee is curr ently working on a er view of the Fire District boundaries to confirm the impacts to the water rent and fire taxes. It is an ongoing goal to separate out the finances between the water system and the non water items in future budget years. 2011 budget came in under estimations despite some unexpected expenses due to Irene and other repairs. A public hearing on amending the traf fic or dinance will include a school zone o n E xchange S treet at the Bridge School and will lower t he s peed li mit t o 3 5 MPH in that zone. In r esponse to a r equest for the designation of a school zone and speed limit change on Exchange Str eet. by r epresentatives of the Bridge School and J.P . Carrara & Sons, which is working with V ermont Har d Cider to permit and site a larger facility on Exchange Street, the Select Boar d will warn a hearing on the amendment of the traffic ordinance.
Middlebury Town Meeting Warning discussed In addition to r egular Town Meeting business items consider ed each year , voters will be asked to consider an article r equesting a penny on the tax rate (roughly $72,000) to help create a Middlebury Economic and Business Development Fund for five years. Creating an opportunity for residents to seek financing through the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program, will also be on the docket. There will be an Australian ballot vote on bonding for fire station improvements at both the Kings Row and Seymour Street Stations. FY13 Budget proposal The proposed preliminary General Fund Budget of $8,417,735 was warned for public hearing Jan. 17. The public hearing pr ovided an opportunity for r esidents to comment, make suggestions and of fer input on the pr oposed budget and is an important part of the budget process. Copies of budget documents ar e also available upon r equest at the T own Offices or by calling802- 3888100, extension 201. Sand Hill Bridge Public Meeting A public meet on the Sand Hill bridge will be held at the Ilsley Public Library Community Meeting Room on Wednesday, Jan. 25, at 6:30 p.m.

From the Editor
It sure runs like a Deere
Where did everybody go? R

ack in kinder, gentler days when telephone prefixes incorporated quaint names, such as Hemlock 4-6523, a person could pick up a Bell Telephone-Western Electric rotary or Touch-Tone telephone and generally— perhaps with a little assistance from an operator or a receptionist—reach out and touch someone inside a business or public service agency. But with the advent of the analog telephone tape-answering machine of the 1970s and the complicated electronic routing systems of the 1980s, it became increasingly difficult to track down an individual—especially when the person worked in a government agency or a public institution. By the 2000s, digital communications technologies had evolved into complex, unfriendly systems that benefited the organization not the consumer or public. These telephonic systems became tailormade for public officials in both good and bad ways. Automated voice systems provide, first, an easy way to get in touch with the public—so called robocalls often made by elected officials when they need to brag or get a vote—and, second, an easy way to hide from the public’s view, especially when the public is trying to get in touch with them with a personal concern or general complaint. Now, add to our modern telephonic devices the all-embracing (but not always welcome) Internet and we have an even greater communications labyrinth to navigate—from business to government. Recently, I attempted to contact an official at a taxpayer-supported Vermont public institution regarding a personal matter. There was only one telephone number provided to call, and since I didn’t know the person’s extension number, I knew I was not going to find the person easily.
After reaching a department receptionist who rang the extension for me, I was surprised not to have an opportunity to leave a recorded voice message. Instead, the extension rang interminably. I was unable to get back to the receptionist (without redialing). Eventually, I hung up. Frustrated by the phone as a way to reach this person, I checked the agency’s website which was even less taxpayer friendly. Not a single person’s e-mail address appeared on the agency’s website. The message was clear to me, the Little Guy: “Don’t bother us, but we’ll surely find you when we need something.” I understand the basic need for individual privacy, even in government, but at what point do we start hiding behind communications technology in order to avoid dealing with taxpayers? But this also is true for business and our personal lives. In some ways, we have become a nation of passive-aggressive communicators. We—you and me—expect respect and access when we reach out to communicate to others, so why shouldn’t we also expect the reverse? Even within a business, an e-mail to a coworker or a boss may go unanswered, essentially ignored. In the end, the ostrich approach to personal communications fails everyone involved. So, here’s my new year ’s resolution: approach personal communications, especially with public agencies, more like a credit-card bill collector and less like a nice guy taxpayer. In the end, maybe it’ll take the services of the good, old U.S. Mail to get the results I expect from my public official. There’s nothing quite like receiving a registered letter in the morning’s post to get your attention.

egular readers remember recently my writing about possibly buying a big green and yellow tractor. Well, I bought it—a John Deere 4120, which means little to most of you readers. You can Google it if you have time and interest. Let me tell you that my new John Deere is a 42-horse, fourwheel-drive, four-cylinder diesel, with a six-foot front loader, hydro-transmission, power take-off wielding, cruise control having, big boy toy, that I plan to plow and selectively prune my acreage with. I didn’t need it, but I wanted it, and it will be very useful. I bought the tractor after many hours of thought put into how I could pay for it without actually having to work more. Allow me to explain. From the myriad of ways Mr. Deere offered I pay for the tractor, I choose putting in a nice down payment, and taking a four-year 0 percent loan on the balance. The down payment came from shares of stock I shaved from a lucky buy a few years ago, a small investment that did quite well. I view the profit off the stock as free money; it was money I earned, but didn’t work for. With the down payment made, I pondered how to come up with the 48 payments. For years I’ve bought two newspapers a day (of course, not counting this fine free paper), that’s 14 issues a week, and one other weekly, which, added to the other 14 issues, brought my paper total for a 30 day month to 60 papers. The daily rags totaled $2 each day, Monday through Saturday, and another $3.75 for their loaded Sunday efforts. Adding in the weekly’s 75-cent tag, my monthly newspaper total was, $66. I thought if I cut out my newspaper buy, totally, I’d have a nice chunk of dough to put toward my monthly tractor payment. Course, I feel it’s important to keep up with the national and local news, if only for being able to call on it for material I use on stage, both scripted, and for adlibbing. But I realized I could see the daily paper either at my ma’s, or from the counter of the joint I eat lunch at. I’d use the Internet for national news, and check with radio and T.V. to buck up the gener-
al awareness I like to have with the goings on in Vermont, the rest of the U.S., and the world. That’s $66 would not my tractor payment make, so I considered trying something I should be doing more of in the first place—eating lunch at home not everyday, but more often. I eat lunch out a lot, sometimes seven days a week. Why? ‘Cause I don’t eat breakfast, and after the gym I should eat right away, so, I eat after the gym, then stay in town and do my errands, which can take up to two hours, instead of doing the gym, driving 6 miles home to eat lunch, then six miles back to town for errands. Some days after the gym I leave town for meetings or shows, which again dictates I eat lunch out. But I figured if I could figure a way to fit my errands into fewer days, I could in fact, most days, return home right after the gym to eat. I figure my eating lunch home would save me 15 dollars each day. So, if I cut out just three days of lunch at the Cafe, I’d save $45 a week, or $180 a month. The lunch and newspaper savings total $245 a month, which happens to be very close to my tractor payment. So, close, I figured I could find the balance simply by walking around Stowe Mountain Resort for an hour looking for loose 20s dropped by friendly out-ofstate, nonplussed, one-percenters. I love one-percenters, I really do. Don’t have a problem with them, especially the nonplussed 20-dollar bill dropping ones. A few simple cuts in lifestyle and some sold stock shares from a tiny, self-informed stock buy a child could have made, and it’s as-if my tractor was free. Politicians take note.

he years 2011 saw an increased amount of discussion about the Atlantic salmon restoration program in Vermont. The discussions have focused almost solely on the mistaken notion that low numbers of salmon returns are the only test of the success or failure of the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program. As background people should know that we began the effort to restore anadromous fish 200 years after the fish had been completely wiped out from the upper river system. The number of salmon returning is not the only issue for CRWC. The issue is the Connecticut River ’s capacity to support a range of aquatic life. The health of the river is the bigger and more important issue. Just 60 years ago the Connecticut River was called “the best landscaped sewer in New England.” The River did not support a thriving diversity of aquatic life and people used the river to boat, swim or fish at their own risk. Since the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972 the river has taken on a renewed life and major direct discharges of pollution have been reduced significantly. But those successes are only part of the story; problems still abound in our watershed. Salmon do not spawn in the main river. They need access to small cold water tributaries with the right flow of water and the right gravel river bottom. Virtually all of the tributaries to the Connecticut River are blocked and fractured by old and unproductive dams that cause water temperature to increase to harmful levels and break up the continuity of the aquatic habitat. Old dams deny the salmon access to the habitat they need to spawn successfully. Over recent years the Restoration Program has been helping groups like the Watershed Council remove those dams but it is a long slow process. Along with dams, improperly installed culverts that are not “fish friendly” can and do provide barriers to the salmon reaching necessary spawning habitat. Pollution from roads, parking lots, combined sewer
overflows, farm fields and rooftops still send harmful pollutants into our River at increasingly unhealthy levels. Air deposition from coal and trash burning power plants still dump mercury and acid rain into the River. River bank riparian zones are still cut down indiscriminately and that opens the tree canopy over the River denying it necessary shade, in stream structure formed by fallen trees and woody nutrients. There are tangible benefits of the Atlantic salmon restoration program beyond the number of fish. The benefits include the increased knowledge we are gaining about New England’s largest river ecosystem to address the ongoing problems mentioned above; the growing populations of other anadromous fish; the infrastructure of hatcheries, fishways, labs and expert personnel; and the singular interstate, intergovernmental and international cooperation focused on the Connecticut River. These are vital contributions to the environmental well being of our watershed and its related coastal ecosystem. This year at the first dam upstream from Long Island Sound in Holyoke, Mass., 244,000 American Shad passed over the dam and of course there is the species no one likes but should, 19,000 Sea Lamprey. Sea Lamprey do not harm other fish in the Connecticut River because like all true anadromous fish they do not feed once they return to fresh water. The Lamprey when they return to their natal river to spawn and die they add important micro-amounts of washed out nutrients back to the headwater areas of the River. While Shad and Lamprey are not the namesake of the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program, they—along with many other fish— benefit from its efforts and would likely be in worse shape if this program ceased to exist. Let’s stay the course on restoring Connecticut River anadromous fish; the results will restore all of us. David L. Deen Connecticut River Watershed Council

Extra ‘bucks’ for local seniors
MIDDLEBURY — Everyone is looking for ways to save money in today’s economy . The National Bank of Middlebury is of fering a cost-saving opportunity for members of its New Horizons Club (NHC) for those aged 50 and over. The new featur e, called “T icket to Ride”, can be r edeemed for Club Bucks that can be used like cash for any NHC activity. This is how it works: NHC members r eceive a special label pin (many r eceived it r ecently at NHC’s annual Holiday Luncheon).They just need to wear it to any NHC event or activity and they’ll r eceive a T icket to Ride car d that can be r edeemed for Club Bucks. This program provides a great way to earn extra “bucks” and to str etch the seniors’ dollars even further . NHC members may obtain a pin by visiting any NBM office.

Tainted manure and the health of rural Vermonters
ANCIENT LINES—Middlebury’s Main Street B ridge, b uilt i n 1 893, replaced a wooden span destr oyed by fire in 1891. Built with help by resident Joseph Battell, it was decided to use Panton stone. The span is modeled after the ancient Roman Ponte Sant' Angelo. “The M iddlebury bridge... received its model’s great stone arches, in the pr ocess necessitating the raising of the road level of the bridge, and thus also of Main Street, by some ten feet,” according to local historian Dr. Glenn Andress.

Letter to the Editor
Don’t be fuelish
To the editor: Who wants to waste expensive, precious fossil fuel that we will need to reserve for critical use and r educe to slow climate change? Resolve to measur e your heating fuel use and car mileage beginning this year and month. This is a simple step that costs nothing and empowers you to contro l your energy use. We don't know what we don't measur e. Set a tar get to r educe your annual car mileage and heating fuel use by at least by 10 per cent annually. But, honestly , we'll need to be much more aggressive than that
given the evidence we're seeing. Plan and save for your oil heating system replacement and keep taking steps to weatherize your building. Heating buildings and transportation are our two biggest sources of fossil fuel use. Middlebury's Climate Action Plan and V ermont's Compr ehensive Ener gy Plan tar get these sour ces for reduction and transition to renewables. To understand what oil has given us, watch “Crude Awakening” available from Ilsley, me, Netflix or other sour ces.

Wesleyan in Conn.
MIDDLEBURY — Undefeated and top-ranked Middlebury College built a 60-51 lead with 3:52 to play and withstood a l ate Wesleyan r ally e arning a 6 5-62 d ecision i n Connecticut Dec. 14. The win pushed the Panthers' record to 14-0 overall, 40 in NESCAC play, as Wesleyan fell to 12-4 on the season, 2-2 in league action. Holding a tenuous 48-47 advantage with 12:39 on the clock, Middlebury got a thr ee–pointer fr om Nolan Thompson, followed by a bucket fr om Dylan Sinnickson to extend its lead to 53-47 with 9:27 left. When Joey Kizel canned a trey at the 6:25 mark, Middlebury led 56-49. After a James Jensen fr ee thr ow made it 60-51 for the visitors at 3:52, Wesleyan scored on six consecutive possessions with Derick Beresford accounting for six points. When Cardinal Mike Callaghan scored on a layup off the sixth assist of the contest by Shasha Br own with 16 seconds left to play, Wesleyan trimmed the margin to a lone point, 63-62. Kizel was fouled with :08.1 to go and calmly sank a pair at the line to bump the mar gin back to three, 65-62. Looking for a three-pointer to tie, Wesleyan never got the chance as the Panthers took a smart foul with :03.4 to go. Br own missed the first attempt, then purposely missed the second, but Middlebury's R yan Sharry grabbed his game-high 11th rebound and tossed the ball the length of the floor to kill the remaining seconds. Neither team led by more than four points during a nipand-tuck first half which ended in W esleyan's favor, 3433. The Car dinals pulled out to their lar gest lead of the game early in the second half, 42-38, befor e Middlebury took the lead for good on a thre e-pointer by Kizel to break a 43-43 deadlock at the 15:40 mark, putting the Panthers ahead, 46-43. Kizel led his squad with 16 points while Sharry added 14 and Jensen chipped in with 13, as Jake W olfin paced the Panthers with five assists. Callaghan led all scor ers with 18 and had a team-high five r ebounds, as Br own and Beresford each had a dozen points for the Cardinals.

New brew, beermaking school coming to town By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — It seemed like it happened overnight, but it has been a long time abuilding. Middlebury , and the greater Addison County ar ea, are fast becoming Vermont’s newest center for the adult craft beverage industry—fr om beer and cider to wine and whiskey, the area is becoming the Silicon Valley of—well—upscale booze. As one success in the burgeoning industry breeds another, it’s easy to get excited about this new , emerging business landscape. Starting out the new year on the right track, the Addison County area is producing award-winning products with the wholesome “Made in Vermont” imprimatur that sells itself from coast-to-coast. Following on the popularity of established local beverage makers Otter Creek, Woodchuck, and Lincoln Peak, to name the top drinking buddies, Middlebury ramped up its image as the place-to-be during theAugust 2011 Better Middlebury Partnership Midd Summer Festival. This first celebration of V ermont beer, wine and cheese took everyone by surprise with its r ecord-setting turnout that any first-time event planner would envy. The event was even featured nationally on Fox News. Now Addison County’s shire town is about to welcome its latest adult-beverage of fering—Drop In Br ewing and the America Brewing Guild. Owned and operated by ex-Britisher and former Otter Creek and Wolaver brewmeister Steve Parks, Drop In Brewing and the America Brewing Guild school—which is under construction at the former Dundon Plumbing site on the westside of U.S. Route 7—will act as both beermaker and brewing school when it opens early this spring. The 1,600-squar e-feet of br ewing and teaching space includes 3,200-square-feet of classrooms, lab space, and a 900square-feet independently operated sandwich shop. “We’ve been operating our craft-brewing certificate classes since 1997 as part of the America Brewing Guild,” Parkes said. “We’ve grown so much that it was time to establish a place of our own with classro oms, a lab, as well as beer-making and dispensing capabilities.” Before moving the teaching segment of the business to Middlebury, Parkes’ classes were held at the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor. “Moving back to Middlebury with of a space of our own will mean we can add more classes. Our beer-making class-
The industry has been on a phenomenal coaster ride that seems to follow only one fast-track direction—up. “We’ve been at this long enough to know this isn’t a fad,” Parkes said. “A growing number of Americans like their beer ‘craft made’ and many of them want to either make it themselves—for fun or profit—or simply learn more about what goes into the beer. We’ve seen a dramatic incr ease in interest in beer-making classes.” Another thing to consider , Parkes added—“People drink beer in good times and bad, whether happy or sad. The industry is a recession-proof one.” Parkes, who gr ew up in Scotland, started out in the beer industry across-the-pond working on several successful U.K. ales. Arriving in the USA a few years back to stake his claim in the new American “beer r ush”, he started up the British Brewing Co. in Baltimore, Md. After a few years, Parkes sold the brand rights to his Clipper City pr oduct and moved to California to become head brewer for Wolaver. When Wolaver made its move east to Middlebury , under the Otter Cr eek umbrella, Parkes moved and settled—with his wife, Christine, and children—in Salisbury. “We love this area,” he said, “so we wanted to try our hand at our own likes, Belgian and golden ales.” Parkes said Dr op In Br ewing will craft its beer using the finest ingredients such as German malt, Cascade hops and Belgian yeast. “People like the flavors these ingredients add to the mix,” he said. “There are a lot of special things that go into makSteve Parkes, owner, beermaker, instructor of Drop In Brewing and the ing a perfect beer.

CCV prepares news campus center for classes Spring semester starts Jan. 23
By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.co m RUTLAND — The Community College of V ermont is poised to open a hightech, 21st-century , multimillion dollar downtown campus building on West Street in Rutland that it believes will be the model facility for similar urban public colleges ar ound the r egion. A leading presence in Rutland’s academic community since 1981, the new CCV facility is likely to become the institution’s flagship campus south of the Burlington area. The new building, built by DEW Construction Corp. of Williston, will boost CCV’s already positive image throughout southern V ermont with its state-of-theart classr ooms, art r ooms, study areas, and science labs
“We’re very thrilled with this new space,” Dutcher . “It’s a showcase.” According to Ettori, the new building doubles the size of CCV’s former space on Eveyln Street. This new building encompasses 32,000 squar e feet of teaching and administrative space. “This new space will really help support a gr owing demand in this region for art and science courses,” Ettori Kelli Hennessey, a liberal arts major from Benson, works on a P.C. in the computer lab while student Greg said. “I should mention that Lambert and Christ Ettori and Robin Dutcher prepare the space for first day of class, Jan. 23. environmental science and Photos by Lou Varricchio allied-health classes ar e the Then, 800 students will pour ties as well as a growing equipped with spill sinks, fastest gr owing ar eas of innumber fr om Addison and glassware, electr onic through the entrance doors terests for our students.” Bennington counties. lecterns and pr ojectors, to r eturn to classes during The three-story building “We’ve seen a 30 per cent the spring semester. chemistry and biology storincludes a r eception ar ea, growth in enrollment in just faculty lounge, 24 class“Rutland is now the colage units as well as fumefive years,” according to Etlege’s second lar gest acahood areas. rooms, meeting ar eas, four tori. “That’s why we decidThis newspaper received a demic center,” said Christocomputer labs with 100 pher Ettori, who acts as both ed to build a new facility and desktop computers availpreview of the building move out of our old 16,000which opened, unof ficially, the c ampus o perations a nd able to students, pottery kiln square-feet Evelyn Str eet and throwing wheels. just a week ago to deadline- administrative manager , as driven movers and work-de- well as an instructor. “We’re campus.” CCV faculty are employed Ettori, along with Robin one of 12 campus centers tail crews. part-time and do not have Dutcher, CCV’s public rela- offices, so the new faculty throughout the state.” Staff members and work CCV Rutland curr ently tions coordinator, we’re lounge doubles as a lunch study students ar e busy serves 800 students from the beaming like the proud parpreparing the building for room and gathering/staging ents of a new baby.

vate consultations with students, instr uctors will meet in the facility’s private meeting rooms. A WiFi wireless service inside the building enables students and faculty to access the Internet on laptops anywhere within the 32,000square-feet building. Ettori said college off icials are especially pr oud of significantly reducing the institution’s waste str eam, turning to more “green” ways of doing things including beefed up r ecycling ef forts, plus installing several, unique electr onic watering stations for the gr owing number of college students who like to bring r eusable drinking bottles to glass. Two entrances, one on the ground floor facing W est Street, and a second entryway off of the elevated visitors parking lot on the east side of the building, provide easy and safe passage into the building. CCV Rutland students can purchase a discounted parking permit for use at the nearby municipal parking garage. The garage is less than a half block walk fr om campus, so students can dash to and fr om class during bad weather without getting too wet. The municipal space is also a key downtown bus stop for those students and faculty using Rutland metro public transportation. CCV boasts that its students ar e a key part of the community—and it’s true by all accounts. Local business data shows that with over 900 students in downtown Rutland every week, while class is in session, r etailers enjoy the benefits. “Our students live here and 80 per cent attend college part-time—they r ent and own homes, work in the area, shop at local stor es, and pay local and state taxes,” Ettori said. Overall, CCV’s new campus facility has been well planned. Nearly every detail has been considered and incorporated into the campus plan, especially for the college’s number one customer—students.

Middlebury women’s hockey earns split at Amherst MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College women’s ice hockey team jumped out to a 2-0 lead and Jennifer Krakower scor ed what held up as the game winner as the fourth-ranked Panthers earned a 3-2 win over sixth-ranked Amherst College Jan. 14 at Orr Rink. Middlebury ( 9-1-2, 7 -1-0 N ESCAC) h ad been 8-for-43 (.186) on the power play in its past 10 meetings with Amherst, but the Panthers wer e 2-for -3 on extra-skater opportunities this time ar ound. The Jef fs (10-3-0, 71-0 NESCAC) also scored twice on the power play and held a slim 23-22 advantage in shots. Molly Downey and Maddie Melberg each added a goal for Middlebury, while Madison Styrbicki and Laur en G reer finished w ith two assists apiece. Geneva Lloyd accounted for both of Amherst’s goals and bumped her point str eak to five games, with Ashley Salerno recording a pair of assists. The Panthers capitalized on the game’s first penalty when Downey re corded her second power-play goal of the season 11:02 into the opening period. Middlebury was denied twice by goaltender Sinead Murphy , but Downey finally pushed home a r ebound to
give the visitors a 1-0 lead. Melberg scored her second goal in as many days when she beat Murphy stick-side with 2:29 to play in the first period. Amherst would hit the post immediately after the ensuing face-off, but the Panthers carried their 2-0 lead into the first intermission. Amherst got one back 10:55 into the second period when Lloyd scored her fifth goal of the season. W ith the Jef fs on the power play, Lloyd had no angle on the Middlebury net but was able to fire the puck off the back heel of goaltender Annabelle Jones, sneaking a s hot i nside t he p ost t o m ake i t a 2 -1 game. The Panthers began the third period with a fr esh power play to work with, and they needed only 50 seconds to push their lead to 3-1. Krakower ’s third goal of the season proved to be the dif ference maker , with Greer and Styrbicki recording assists on the play. The Jeffs responded less than four minutes later when Lloyd scor ed her second goal of the afternoon. W ith Amherst again on the power play, Josie Fisher dug the puck out of a scrum along the boards and found Salerno at the blue line. Salerno deliver ed a pass to
Lloyd, who quickly turned and fir ed a bullet that beat Jones 4:04 into the frame. Lloyd nearly tied the game in the final minute when she went coast-to-coast and hit the side of the net, and Middlebury followed by hitting the post on a shot that went the length of the ice on an empty-net opportunity. Amherst made one last push, but Lloyd was denied by Jones and the Panthers held on for the 3-2 win. Jones finished with 21 saves and impr oved to 5-1-2 on the season, while Murphy stopped 19 shots for Amherst and dropped to 5-2-0.
After splitting the r egular-season series, Amherst and Middlebury moved back into a tie for first place in the confer ence standings. History indicates that the Jeffs and Panthers may see each other again this season, as they have squar ed of f in thr ee of the past five NESCAC title games. The Lord Jeffs will resume their most difficult stretch of the season when they travel to the Midwest to take on s eventh-ranked Wisconsin-River Falls and Saint Thomas next Wednesday and Thursday. Middlebury will host Bowdoin in a pair of NESCAC games next week.
