MONTPELIER — AARP Vermont launched a statewide campaign to recover $21 million owed to ratepayers of Central Vermont Public Service Jan. 18. The pro-liberal senior citizen advocacy group has formally intervened in the pending merger of Green Mountain Power and CVPS. AARP officials said they intervened in December and filed testimony with the Vermont Public Service Board. The matter will be considered by the board in the coming months. Eleven years ago, the financial viability of CVPS was severely threatened due to what the PSB deemed “imprudent” contracts with Hydro Quebec. Consequently, the board imposed a special rate increase on CVPS customers with a windfall provision stating that ratepayers must be paid back $21 million should CVPS ever become financially healthy enough to merge or be sold. Essentially, the board treated the rate increase as a loan from ratepayers and ruled that shareholders should not profit from what amounted to a forced emergency loan from customers. “This windfall provision is clearly triggered by the merger and we are working to ensure that ratepayers receive a check in the mail or an immediate refund on their electric bill,” said AARP’s Greg Marchildon. Marchildon said that rolling the refund into projected merger savings over time, as proposed by utility officials, is inadequate. He stressed that AARP does not oppose the merger itself, but only wants to ensure customers recover their funds from a decade ago.

Hinesburg Public Safety Facility vote on horizon By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com
Public hearing set for Feb. 9
Future plan: Hinesburg voters will decide on the town’s $2.9 million Public Safety Building Project plan bond at Town Meeting Day March 6.
HINESBURG — Voters here will decide on the town’s $2.9 million Public Safety Building Project plan bond at Town Meeting Day March 6. The article facing voters will include a facility totaling 14,993 square feet in the central part of the village. Town officials and residents have been tussling over the plans since last year. Reflecting a trend in several progressive communities in Vermont in recent years, the plan proposes to expand the fire station and bring the police department under one roof. Called the Hinesburg Public Safety Facility, the structure would also include a spacious community room. According to Rocky Martin, Buildings and Facilities director for the Town of Hinesburg, the proposed community room would be “roughly the size of the Main Hall in the town offices.” See PUBLIC SAFETY, page 10
A victory for nuclear power U.S. judge rules in favor of Vermont Yankee
Murtha ruled that the U.S. Atomic Energy Act preempts state and local laws. “Plaintiffs have demonstrated they would be irreparably harmed by Vermont Yankee’s closure under preempted laws if Defendants enforced Act 160, or the preempted provision in Act 74, or if Defendants conditioned approval of a petition for continued operation on the existence of a below-market power purchase agreement with Vermont utilities,” Murtha ruled. “Entergy has not been a trustworthy partner with the state of Vermont,” Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) said in a statement following Murtha’s ruling. But at least one state official was pleased with the judge’s decision. Vermont State Auditor Tom Salmon (R) said that the state’s decisive loss in the Vermont Yankee case was predictable and very costly to Vermont taxpayers. “It is my hope that Gov.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com BRATTLEBORO — The Shumlin administration and the anti-nuclear movement in New England was dealt a major setback with a federal judge’s ruling Jan. 20. U.S. District Court Judge J. Garvan Murtha ruled that Entergy, the Louisiana-based operator of Vermont’s sole atomic power plant, is permitted to continue operating the Vermont Yankee power plant past March 21; the state had hoped it would get its way and shut down the plant on that date. According to the judge’s ruling, Vermont Acts 74 and 160 were struck down in the case. The judge said that Entergy is not required to ask the Vermont General Assembly permission to store waste on site.

want to acknowledge the generosity of Alan Hassenfeld... a former CEO at Hasbro, Inc.” Social entrepreneurship occurs when individuals identify an unjust social outcome—the lack of access to water in an Afghani village; a “food desert” in the Bronx; economic and political barriers to the development of clean energy—and lead a creative process whose goal is the establishment of a more just outcome. At Middlebury, that vision has informed the development of Kathryn Wasserman Davis’ Projects for Peace, MiddCORE, the Project on Creativity and Innovation in the Liberal Arts, Education in Action, and the college’s participation in the Solar Decathlon. The center will be headed by Daniel E. Doyle Jr., founder and senior director; Elizabeth Robinson, operations director; and Jonathan
Isham, faculty director. Doyle will work full time raising funds to support the center, developing a board, shaping its programs, and establishing strategic partnerships with other organizations. Isham, Middlebury College professor of economics and environmental studies, will serve in a parttime capacity. The staff is headquartered in the Marbleworks in downtown Middlebury. The MCSE includes three interrelated programs: grants, a lecture series and training workshops. Through each of these programs, the center aims to help high school students, college students and recent college graduates lead action-based projects designed to create a more peaceful and equitable world. The lecture series will involve partner institutions around the
world, with the centerpiece a symposium each January at Middlebury. The first session takes place this on the Middlebury campus, and will be the kick-off for the center. Highlights will include an opening keynote speech by Bill Drayton, founder and CEO of Ashoka; an evening address in Mead Chapel by Jacqueline Novogratz, founder and CEO of the Acumen Fund; and a workshop led by Gordon Bloom, founder of the Social Entrepreneurship Collaboratory at Stanford and Harvard and now Dean’s Visiting Professor in Entrepreneurship at Princeton. The MCSE eventually expects to award about 300 grants each year, to high-school students, college students and recent college graduates. The first training workshop is planned for June at Middlebury College.

Vermont’s top dog in electronics a ‘green’ businessman, too By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.co m WA I T S F I E L D — E v e r y business has a top dog in the front office, but in the case of Small Dog Electronics, Vermont’s premier Apple and Mac products dealer, there really is a top dog—yes, really—it even says so on his business card. And this “top dog” doesn’t bark. Meet top-dog and CEO Don Mayer, founder of the multi-million-dollar Waitsfield-based business that put Apple products on the map in northern New England. A lifelong dog fancier, Mayer ’s office is pet friendly and reflects the business name. The boss’ pet, nicknamed “Hammer”, is a friendly pooch that enjoys greeting visitors to the owner ’s upstairs sanctum sanctorum. Mayer started Small Dog back in 1994 to fuel a passion for smart consumer electronic products that were emerging from the fertile minds of Apple’s two Steves—Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Originally starting as an online sales firm, Small Dog began its march to bricks and mortar as the Apple efamily exploded in the late

1990s, following the corporation’s “reinvention” after the 1980s. Today, Mayer ’s Apple business includes a corporate office and retail shop in Waitsfield, plus two phenomenally successful shops in South Burlington and Manchester, N.H. “We went from clicks to bricks,” Mayer said. Mayer found that the business thrived with oneon-one contact and customers liked the highly skilled technical staff the company offered. Computer problems were fixed quickly and customers kept coming back to buy newer Apple products.
Today, Small Dog is enjoying the enormous planetwide popularity of Apple’s Mac computers and the three “i’s”—the iPhone, the iPod Touch and the iPad. “Apple products have a halo effect,” Mayer said. “When customers buy iPods, they often go home with a Mac or something else, too.” Mayer said Apple’s Mac computers are the premier computer product because users know its UNIX-based operating system is not as susceptible to harmful eviruses and annoying hang ups like other computers. The products are user friendly, reliable, and Apple
keeps inventing products that are at the forefront of 21st century technology. In addition to being respected as a Vermont Apple pioneer—even the Apple corporate folks recognized his contributions by inviting him to speak at a gathering in Cupertino, Calif. recently—Mayer is also a pioneer in the “businesses for social responsibility” movement. Following his graduation from Goddard College in the 1970s, Mayer ’s first big job was to start up Northern Power Systems, an early wind-power company. While he moved on to other ventures such as Small Dog, the original wind company still thrives here in Vermont. “I lived on a farm in northern Vermont and was always fascinated by clean energy,” he said. “We started out with hybrid systems— wind, solar and diesel. So, we were ahead of the curve back then.” Later, after starting Small Dog, Mayer also became a leader in getting Vermont “ahead of the curve” in dealing with e-waste—electronic waste. “We realized all the toxic materials and heavy metals in electronic waste,” he said, “so we started collecting the stuff from the public on

too—in fact, so much so, that he decided to commission construction of a photovoltaic power station at his Waitsfield center to offset power consumed by Small Dog’s store located at 100 Dorset St. in South Burlington. With the help of Willistonbased AllEarth Renewables, Small Dog installed 10 giant P.V. arrays that track the Sun daily to generate electricity that’s fed directly into Green Mountain Power ’s grid. “We’re leasing the land to AllEarth and then have the option of purchasing the arrays after five years,” Mayer said. Mayer, who has been ahead of the tech curve since the ‘70s, foresees a future with even more rapid changes in the world of personal electronic devices. “The future is going to be a very exciting place,” Mayer said. “There are trends now in holographics, voiceactivated consumer devices, and much more. It’s like ‘Star Trek’. Change is coming and I know we will make changes that are positive for the planet.”

Earth Day back in 2007.” Since 2007, Small Dog has sponsored additional ewaste events that have collected over 250 tons of old electronic components. The material is carefully sorted, recycled when it can be reused, and discarded in the proper manner. “We lobbied for an ewaste law and are very proud to see the progress made in Vermont,” Mayer added. “Now individuals are taking responsibility and bringing their e-waste to local transfer stations.” Mayer is one of the leaders of BAN, the Basel Action Network. BAN describes itself as “the world’s only organization focused on confronting the global environmental injustice and economic inefficiency of toxic trade and its devastating impacts.” BAN businesses, like Small Dog, take an “e-steward’s pledge” to do right with the environment. Today, Mayer is still setting an example in the stewarding of the environment; he practices what he preaches when it comes to his firm’s carbon footprint,

Presidential predictions
Time to run for school board O Now is the time for Vermonters to consider running for election to their local school boards. We all have many distractions during the holiday season. Petitions to run for elected offices in most towns will be due by the end of January, so there will not be a lot of time to take action in the new year. Now is a good time to consider joining hundreds of other Vermonters in serving your children, your town, and your state as a school board member. There are three reasons why Vermonters should consider running for school board this year: 1. Our children deserve the best opportunities. First and foremost, this is about our children—all of our children. All students need a world-class education. We need board members who will develop a vision for the educational success of all our students, including those students disadvantaged by income, language, or disability. We need board members who will chart a course for our schools to support and engage all students through meaningful learning experiences and the full integration of technology. Finally, we need board members who will help schools forge strong partnerships with parents and community members to both support and hold our schools accountable for delivering excellent results. 2. The future of your town and Vermont depends on education. Education is a major economic driver. When families are choosing where to live, the quality of education is high on the list of criteria. Businesses often consider overall community climate and quality of schools when choosing where to locate. Now more than ever, school boards need to take this challenge seriously. The governor has spoken about Vermont being “the education state”. Each local board must be concerned that for their students, their town is “the education town”. Vermont’s success is the collective success of all local boards. 3. The economy demands a creative approach. Many of us have not seen an econ-
omy like this one. Education is being asked to do more with less and to figure out how best to manage shrinking enrollment. Vermont needs creative school board members who will seek innovative approaches to this dilemma. We must find ways to maintain or increase opportunity even as resources shrink. We need board members who are willing to think creatively about how we broaden student opportunity in our own towns, as well as through mergers and joint ventures where that makes sense. Vermont’s commitment to local oversight of education runs deep. On any given day, nearly 1500 individuals serve on 280 elected school boards, giving Vermont the highest board member to student ratio in the country. Collectively, these committed citizens oversee the education of some 90,000 children. It is not happenstance that Vermont ranks at or near the top nationally on most major indicators of education quality. Just as it is true that children perform better when their parents are interested and engaged, education in a community is better in a strongly invested local district. Each year, approximately 250 school board positions turn over. Vermont needs committed citizens to step forward to serve. Strong board members are invested in education excellence, willing to focus on a broad range of concerns -not just a single issue, and able to work with other board members, administrators, and citizens. Their job is not to run the schools. Rather, they are trustees on behalf of the community, assuring the delivery of quality education and good value for taxpayers. Now is the time to consider investing in your children and your community and the future of the state of Vermont. If anyone has questions about the role of a school board member, call the Vermont School Boards Association at 800-244-8722.

bama will win in November. I think. I’m not sayin’ I want him to, and I’m not sayin’ I don’t want him to, cause I’m not sayin’ who I vote for, or how much money I make/have, or whom I’m having sex with, cause my folks raised me to not say those things. I’m just saying, Obama will win. Why? Well, I’m no genius (understatement of the year, though I would like to point out the year is only 18 days old), but it’s a known fact the the incumbent rarely looses. (Of course Jimmy Carter lost to Ronny Reagan in 1980.) In part ‘cause they have the plane, the pulpit, the press, stockpiled funds, and recent positive accomplishments to boast. But it’s mostly, the old slipper syndrome. If the slippers fit n’ feel fine, don’t vote ‘em out. About half that don’t like Obama at all, and never did, won’t vote for him, same as the last election. But the half that do like him, and always did, will vote for him—same as last election. If you did like and vote for him, but now aren’t sure he’s made good on lots or most of his promises, and because of that you feel you might be likin’ him less, well then, you’re in the group whom I feel will, when it comes down to it, stick with the old slipper—you’ll vote for Barack; the majority of you, that is. Why would you not vote for him? You really don’t know if ObamaCare will or won’t work, so you won’t judge him poorly on that. Sure, you might be miffed and surprised he’s unable to strong-arm GOP congressman and senators, but you’re really not sure of the specifics he’s bungled by not keeping them in line. So, you won’t hold his pussy-footin’-roun’ the GOP players against him either. You’re pretty sure Barak’s pro-civil unions (not sure about his current position on gay marriage). But you’ve heard that Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden are actually anti-gay marriage. But you’re not sure, and you can hardly believe it’s true. You are sure he’s pretty comfortable and cool with gay equal rights stuff, which is enough for you to give him your vote even if he is against gay marriage. Search
it online. I had to. You’re not sure if he did or didn’t send bombs raining down on Lybia without playing by international WAR rules, precisely duplicating what Bush did. But again, you’re not really sure, so you can’t hold jumping into war illegally against him. You’ve heard that inner city African American’s aren’t pleased with how he’s treated them. But you’re not sure he has or hasn’t been doing them one solid, and you can’t really believe he’s not 100 percent behind and working on great things for them. So you can’t judge him badly on that. You’ve not been all goose pimply when he makes speeches, the way you used to be when he’d speak before he was elected, and you’re not sure why he’s lost that whole “charismatic speaker” side of himself, and instead found a start/stop way of speaking that makes him sound really smart but not especially fun to be around. But, you’ll chalk it up to his having a tough job that zaps his oratory energy. So you can’t hold that against him. You wish he’d done more for the environment, and you’re only thinking he hasn’t because you’ve heard prominent environmentalist say he hasn’t. And those folks are a little hard headed anyway, and you assume he’s doing as much as he’s able for the environment. (Wouldn’t it be easier to leave the second “n” out of the word environment? No one ever pronounces it.) All in all, you Obama fans who’re not sure he’s turned out to be too close a representation of what he promised he’d be, will, when you get in the booth, vote for him, because, why the heck not? It’s not like you’re invested in politics and the campaign to a point that you’re informed well enough to know you don’t want anyone else, so why not vote for him? See LOGGER, page 5

Addison County Home Health and Hospice adds board members MIDDLEBURY — Larry Goetschius, executive director of Addison County Home Health and Hospice in Middlebury, said five new members were added to the agency's Board of Directors for three-year terms, which begin immediately. New members include: •Cathryn Butler, R.N., of Middlebury, a school nurse at the Middlebury Middle School, who previously served on the Open Door Clinic Board of Directors; •Janet Cole of Ferrisburgh, a self employed special education consultant and evaluator with over 48 years of educational teaching and consulting experience; •Alice Maurer of Panton, a retired Vergennes elementary teacher who taught technology and gifted programs for over 15 years. She is active in the Vermont Council for Gifted Education and serves on the Deacons committee of her local church; •George McPhail of Middlebury, an engineer with Facilities Services at Middlebury College; •Chris Messerle of New Haven, a retired member of law enforcement and former zoning administrator for New Haven. The Board of Directors re-elected Howie McCausland of Bristol as President, Meghan Williamson Foley of New Haven Board as Vice President, Chuck Burdick of Cornwall as Secretary and Maureen McLaughlin of Vergennes as Treasurer. The sixteen members of the board represent eleven towns within Addison County.

from page 4 He seems like a nice guy. He’s got the nice family, he’s tall, nice looking, smart, morally upright, (cripes, I hope so, I like him, I’d hate to see something yicky come out about him, that would suck), he works hard, so hard you see his hair is graying (You say it always happens to presidents because the job is so hard, but I say, it always happens to presidents cause they become president at the age when ones hair turns gray, and over the course of 4 or 8 years, every head’s graying is noticeable. Look at photos of yourself when he was elected, and look at a photo of yourself now, tell me you ain’t more gray, and you have an easy job), and he’s a historic guy, being half black and all, and president. So why the hang not vote for him? There really isn’t any reason is there? I mean, there may be, but we don’t the frig know what the reasons would be to not vote for him, cause we don’t know crap from crapola about what’s actually going on, really, do we? Do we? Do we? So yup, unless Barack does something unbelievably ridiculous, like drive a big assed boat too close to shore and sink it, he’s in, man. Barack will win in November. He can’t lose. Oh, it’ll be close, and the media and the GOP and the Democrats on Barack’s team will have you think he could lose, but I say, all he has to do is show up … allot of places, (thanks to Woody Allen for the “show up” line), and he’s in. That’s my prediction. Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” Reach him at rustyd@pshift.com.

Tibetan lama plans return to Vt. By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com SPRINGFIELD — History and fate are full of twists and turns, and there’s no better example than the inspiring life of Tibetan Lama Pema Wangdak. This quiet holy man also has a Vermont connection, so the twists and turns brought his spiritual footsteps back to Springfield. The lama returned to Springfield’s Studio Time and Space last weekend. The visit was part of a mission to the west the lama embarked on beginning in 1982. The holy man is the first of a new generation of Tibetan teachers teaching in America from the ancient Buddhist Sakya School. Starting at a young age, Pema has been guiding western students in Buddhist practices for nearly three decades. According to Tom Lauritsen, of Springfield, who with his wife Kathleen have arranged the special visit, Lama Pema escaped Tibet with his parents in 1959, the only child among his siblings to survive the relocation to India. “Nearly 30 years ago his teacher, the head of the Sakya lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, sent Lama Pema to New York to lead and instruct the Sakya community in the Northeast United States,” Lauritsen said.” Having spent half of his lifetime within the Tibetan culture, and half within the American culture, his combined experience presents a rare view into the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. His style of teaching is readily accessible to newcomers, and is highly valued by experienced meditators.” Starting in the morning and lasting until early afternoon, the holy man conducted a quiet meditation session at Studio Time and Space. “New meditators and longtime practitioners attended,” according to Lauritsen. After a lunch break, the lama discussed the nature of the human mind
Lama Pema Wangdak and include words about a revered, 1,000-year-old Buddhist text by Shantideva known as “The Bhodisattva’s Way of Life.” “This ancient text is appreciated by Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike for its scholastic precision, spiritual depth, and poetic beauty,” Lauritsen said.
The lama will continue his tour of the northeast, as part of the Vikramasila Foundation which he founded in 1989, according to Lauristen. The lama’s ongoing spiritual trek include visits to New York City, Woodstock, N.Y., Philmont, N.Y., Cresskill, N.J., and Dayton. Ohio.
Sheldon Museum appoints new archivist MIDDLEBURY — The Henry Sheldon Museum announced that after a national search, Eva Garcelon-Hart has been appointed the new archivist of the Sheldon’s Stewart-Swift Research Center. Garcelon-Hart received her Masters in Library and Information Studies and Masters in Art History degrees from U.C. Berkeley and worked as an archivist at Berkeley's Bancroft Library, the archival repository for historical materials documenting West-Coast history. In California, she was responsible for digitizing and cataloging historical collections ranging from visual materials to historical documents. Prior to her work at the Bancroft, she worked as an archivist and assistant to a Nobel Prize winner, Polish poet, Czeslaw Milosz for whom she organized and documented his large, collection of manuscripts and personal papers, now at the Beinecke Library of Yale University. In 1999, Garcelon-Hart moved to Middlebury and since then she has been working as an independent consultant for local histori-
Eva Garcelon-Hart cal organizations including: the Special Collections and Archives at Middlebury College, the Vermont Folklife Center, the Sheldon Museum, and historical societies and municipalities across Vermont and beyond. In her role as archivist, Garcelon-Hart will manage and oversee the Sheldon
Museum’s Research Center while encouraging the community to use the Research Center's rich resources. Her responsibilities include archival management, reference and research assistance, educational outreach, programming, exhibits, publication projects, and supervision of volunteers.
Eva’s previous experience with digital projects will enable the Sheldon to move forward with the digitization of its archival materials. The Henry Sheldon Museum is located at 1 Park St. in downtown Middlebury across from the Ilsley Library.

Military Road group plans first meeting
Middlebury College adds solar MIDDLEBURY — This spring a solar energy system will join Middlebury College's biomass plant and wind turbine on campus. College officials have signed an agreement with Williston-based AllEarth Renewables to create a small solar farm consisting of 34 solar trackers that will produce an average of 200,000 kilowatt-hours annually. The installation's total kWh will produce enough electricity for a year for one of the college's residence halls the size of Battell Hall, which houses about 238 students. The solar farm will be located on about 1.5 acres of college land on Route 125, west of McCardell Bicentennial Hall, Middlebury's science facility. AllEarth manufactures the innovative solar energy systems, called trackers, that feed electricity into nearby power lines. According to David Blittersdorf, CEO and founder of AllEarth Renewables, the solar trackers, which are mounted on poles, use GPS and wireless technology to actively follow the sun throughout the day, producing more than 40 percent more energy than fixed solar panels of the same size. The company constructs the equipment at its Williston facility, using many parts made in Vermont.
AllEarth will subcontract the installation of the site to Weybridge-based Backspin Renewables, which will begin work in February and complete the project this spring. Solar energy is not completely new to Middlebury; solar panels were mounted on the Franklin Environmental Center in 2008 and on Farrell House in 2003 but the new project is significantly larger than the installations on these two college buildings. B According to Dean of Environmental Affairs Nan Jenks-Jay, students have expressed an interest in developing a solar energy system at Middlebury for several years in a number of academic courses. Most recently, four students in Professor of Economics Jon Isham's fall semester "Environmental Economics" class wrote a report, "The Cost-Benefit Analysis of a proposed Small Scale Solar Farm at Middlebury College," concluding that a project with AllEarth would have a positive economic and social impact. In 2010 students in an environmental studies seminar taught by Professor of Environmental and Biosphere Studies Steve Trombulak also recommended the college commission a solar project with AllEarth.
CASTLETON — The public is invited to participate as Friends of the Hubbardton Military Road organize in Castleton on Saturday morning, Jan. 21. The meeting will be conducted by local historian Tom Hughes of Middlebury. The gathering will be held in the Castleton Free Library, at 638 Main Street in Castleton, Vermont, during the library’s two open hours, from 10 a.m. until noon. The first agenda item will be to formalize the Friends of the Hubbardton Military Road into a committee of the Crown Point Road Association, a long-established membership organization with non-profit legal status. The military road was built by order of Gen. Horatio Gates, dated Sept. 7, 1776, so as to connect a Revolutionary War fort then under construction at Mount Independence on Lake Champlain to intersections of existing roads in East Hubbardton and Center Rutland. The annual membership prices include the $3 senior/student rate, the $5 individual rate, and the $8 family rate. For more information, the public may call the committee chair, Tom Hughes, at 802-3882967.

Middlebury’s Chili Festival returns March 10 MIDDLEBURY — Mark your calendars because the fourth annual Middlebury Vermont Chili Festival and Contest is scheduled to blaze on Saturday, March 10. Public tasting begins at 1:30 p.m. and festivities last well into the evening—the event is like New Year ’s Eve only warmer. Last year's chili event attracted over 3,000 people to the downtown area. Town officials project that this year ’s event is likely to attract a greater number of hungry locals and out-of-towners. The chili event consumes a large portion of the downtown including Main Street and Merchants Row. These areas will be closed to traffic to accommodate 50-plus vendors from around the Green Mountain State and pedestrian tasters. The vendors will dish out over 75 different kinds of chili from traditional to non traditional varieties. The festivities will include live music, giveaways, and a beer tent that includes local brews and a performance by the Horse Traders at 5 p.m. The Better Middlebury Partnership bills the event as “family friendly,” so there will be something for everyone. For more information, check out www.vermontchilifestival.com.

Public safety from page 1 “The existing fire and police stations are strategically located on Route 116 near the center of Hinesburg,” Martin said. “The location is 3.5 miles from all town borders. This distance keeps fire insurance rates reasonable for all property owners in Hinesburg.” Martin noted that if the facility's distance from the town border exceeded 5 miles, town insurance rates would jump for property owners living beyond the 5-mile radius. “Our fire station was built in 1972 with additions added in 1976 and 2001 to bring it up to its current size of 4,670 square feet,” Martin said. “The original construction and subsequent additions were funded by donations and volunteer labor. The police station is in a converted single-family farmhouse, of 1,300 square feet in size, with numerous functional and structural issues.” Martin noted that Hinesburg mulled the need for additional Fire and Police facilities for “many years.” Official recognition of the growing pains were not acknowledged until the year 2000. According to the Hinesburg 2000 Town Report, “both the Hinesburg Community Police Department and Volunteer Fire Department have outgrown their existing facil-
ities.” Martin concurred that a problem recognized 12 years ago is finally being presented with an attractive solution. “Twelve years later this is still valid and both departments are crammed into their existing quarters, storing vehicles off site and renting storage facilities to accommodate their space needs,” he said. “Both Fire and Police Strategic Plans developed over the last 8 years have included objectives to provide expanded, ‘co-located’ facilities.” According to Martin, preliminary plans were developed in 2005 to add on to the circa 1972 fire station. The idea then was to bring in the police department and create a community room. “In 2009 preliminary designs were further developed based on this concept and presented at a public meeting on Sept.16, 2009,” Martin noted. “Schematic plans were finished; a cost estimate of construction developed and both were presented and discussed at a regularly held Select Board meeting. In 2010 a committee was formed to determine uses for the rest of the park space— called Lot 1. With Select Board approval, the Lot 1 Committee hired a landscape architect to develop a site plan which was presented at a public meeting in January 2011. “ Based on the master plan released recently, emergency vehicles will use the eastern side of the building facing Route 116. The

main public parking, which will provide entrance to the community room is located on the western side away from Route 116. “Fire Department space will total 8,408 square feet and provide for two additional truck bays, one ambulance bay, additional office and storage areas, EMT quarters and a training area,” Martin said. “The Police Department area as planned is 4,189 square feet and includes a garage (sally port), processing and detention area, squad room, offices, secure storage area and officers’ locker and lavatory areas.” A 2,396 square feet common area will include a meeting room, lobby and bathrooms. Martin said the proposed town park adjacent to the proposed building would be an ideal site for a variety of community activities including the popular Lion’s Club Farmers Market, now held at the Hinesburg Church, a child play area, and “green” garden space. Editor’s Note: A public meeting will be held on Feb. 9, at 7 p.m. in the Hinesburg Town Hall to explain the project. The Select Board will hold a public hearing on the project as part of their regularly scheduled meeting Feb. 27; time to be determined.

Vermont Yankee from page 1 Gen. William Sorrell, and the legislative leadership will assess the practical considerations of cost in this case more effectively than they have in our previous losses at the federal level,” Salmon said. Salmon noted that hundreds of Vermonters would have lost their jobs if the state succeeded in closing the plant.
