RUTLAND — Rutland Regional Medical Center will host Green Mountain Power ’s third Rutland solar farm under a lease agreement designed to make use of hospital land with few other potential uses. “We support GMP’s Solar Capital initiative and see this project as an introduction to solar energy at Rutland Regional,” President Thomas Huebner said. “We want to support the Solar Capital effort and gain some experience with solar energy ourselves.” “The Solar Center at Rutland Regional, as the project will be known, will be a visible, productive symbol of the hospital’s commitment to economic development and the community at large,” said Mary Powell, GMP’s president and CEO. “We expect the center, which will include a 150-kilowatt solar farm and educational information on renewable energy, will become a destination for local schoolchildren and adults.” See RUTLAND HOSPITAL, page 11

The meeting was moderated by Middlebury Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay. Vermont Gas currently has more than 750 miles of underground transmission and distribution pipeline that serve Chittenden and Franklin counties. Vermont Gas has been working to design and permit a 50-mile expansion of natural gas service to Middlebury and Vergennes. Known as the Addison Natural Gas Project, Vermont Gas says “this project will bring clean and affordable energy to the region.” The project goal is “to expand natural gas service to Addison County in a manner that maximizes economic, environmental and reliability benefits to stakeholders — while maintaining a strong competitive advantage, excellent customer satisfaction, superior safety and positions Vermont Gas for future expansion.” If you have any questions or comments, contact Steve Wark, Project Director, at 802-951-0399 or addison@vermontgas.com.

Ghost ski resorts still haunt Vermont By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.co m LUDLOW — Last June, on my way to visit family in my native Pennsylvania, I took the road less traveled. I drove through a beautiful, less frequented portion of New York’s Catskill Mountain vacation region. Nestled among the trees, right along a cracked and faded county highway, were the crumbling remains of an abandoned summer resort, probably dating to the 1960s. Why the mountain resort had closed, I hadn’t a clue, but the ruins—which included an eroded Olympicsize swimming pool, now filled with brackish water, and weed-choked tennis and shuffleboard courts— echoed with the ghostly laughter of long-gone summer vacationers. There’s nothing sadder to me than a lost dream. What I never realized, at least until I came across a new book by author Jeremy
Author Jeremy Davis: only 14 of 60 lost ski areas remain open and active in southern Vermont. Image courtesy of Jeremy Davis
Davis, is that Vermont has its own night gallery of ghost resorts, too. Davis’ book, titled “The Lost Ski Areas of Southern Vermont”, tells the story of the rise and fall of things. In the case of the Green Mountain State, the resort ghosts are the numerous,
long-closed, and nearly forgotten, ski areas. With the slopes of these dead resorts now largely covered with mature tree growth, and their alpine warming huts crumbled to mildewed heaps or consumed by voracious carpenter ants, these ski places take
us back to a simpler time—a time before apres snobs, and the gentrification of most everything, ruined many an outdoor experience for the rest of us. Hidden among the hills and mountains of southern
Vermont are the slowly disappearing remnants of 60 ski areas. Each has its own sad story. In most cases, the slopes of these resorts—from the modest to the plush— have returned to forest. You may even catch glimpses of rusting ski lifts with their opcars scattered on the ground. “Today,” according to Jeremy Davis, creator of the New England Lost Ski Areas Project online and author of the excellent book, “only 14 remain open and active in southern Vermont. Though they offer some incredible skiing, most lack the intimate, local feel of these lost ski trails.” At a special gathering about Vermont’s lost ski areas held at the Cornerstone Room at Okemo Mountain’s

Jackson Gore Inn last week, Davis said over investment, local competition, local climate change, skier habits, insurance costs, and good old fashioned “bad luck” were behind the closing of these once beloved ski areas. Before he signed his book for enthusiastic attendees, Davis showcased the story of lost ski areas through both photos and maps. Davis’ fascinating presentation included an introduction to ski-area development in southern Vermont, why the areas closed, and what happened to them after they closed. “From the family-operated Hogback in Windham County to Clinton Gilbert's farm in Woodstock—where the very first rope tow began operation in the winter of 1934—these once popular ski areas left an indelible trace on the hearts of their ski communities and the history of southern Vermont,” Davis said.

From the Editor
Before it’s too late
B
eing a member of the fourth estate, even if a bit player, exposes one to bouts of extreme depression. There’s so much bad news out there these days that even an editor of a rural weekly has to admit it’s tough seeing the glass half full. Now along comes another bummer to report: Vermont property owners are looking at a likely statewide tax hike. One more government burden added to the backs of the working man and woman— added alongside rising fuel costs, inflation pressures, stagnant wages, depressed real estate values, increased food costs, etc., etc. For those of us who had hoped for a modicum of compassion for homeowners from Montpelier, it was political business as usual for our legislative oligarchy—at least when it comes to the dreaded property tax. At this moment, property tax relief in Vermont looks about as likely as finding dry land at the North Pole. Democrat and Progressive members of the Vermont House voted strongly for a 5-cent increase in the statewide property tax Feb. 20. Sure it was the first round of voting, but the eventual outcome has all the markings of a fait accompli, Montpelier style. The final vote in the State House last week was 96-45, a “split” between the pro-property tax hike Democrats and the anti-tax hike Republicans. Republicans stressed that the Democrats’ property tax increase proposal is coming at a time when public school enrollment in Vermont has declined in excess of 10 percent and middle class residents are feeling the pinch with stagnant wages and stagnant property values. Here’s my question: why do Republicans continue to appeal to reason and logic in Montpelier? It’s so, well, out of fashion these days when emotions intentionally govern the day. After talking with a friend in Florida on the phone last week, I learned that Vermont stands in even starker contrast than the Sunshine State. In Florida, legislators are looking at the first budget surplus in five years. The budget surplus occurred thanks to choice cuts in school spending, road-building, and bloated entitlements. In fact, just a few weeks ago, Florida’s governor proposed a $2,500 pay raise for teachers, and an increase in K-12 education funding, all thanks to the state’s growing surplus. Sure makes any winter-dessicated Calvin Coolidge Vermonter jealous for Florida’s sun, sand, surf and surplus. In response to last week’s first-round House vote on raising the statewide property tax, Gov. Shumlin told reporters that voters on Town Meeting Day need to send “a clear message to school boards and to their local communities that we’ve got to find ways to curb unsustainable costs of education in our state.” Will the voters do as the governor has suggested? Let’s hope so, before it’s too late to dig out of our fiscal mess. Lou Varricchio

The Sequester Quest
I
t’s appropriate that I draft this column flying at 10,000 feet while crossing this beautiful country of ours, on a quick overnight trip to Las Vegas for a publishers’ meeting. As I peer out the window, I ponder what our elected officials will do in the coming week with the March 1 Sequester deadline. For all of our sakes, I hope they’ve worked out a compromise to put the country on a correction course to begin addressing our ever-rising debt load. From this publisher ’s perspective, here are my recommendations to those who ultimately are suppose to be running this country and looking out for our best interest and the generations to come. Mr. President, you won the election. You’ve no further need to keep campaigning. It’s time to govern. I know you think you’ve got the upper hand over the bumbling Republicans, and perhaps you’re thinking this an opportune time to bring them to their knees. Mr. President, please take a lesson from President Lincoln. He and Gen. Grant understood we are all Americans, and standing on the neck of the South would not heal the wounds of the Union. It was time to unite and rebuild. Mr. President it’s within your reach to be the “Great Uniter” or the “Great Divider.” This nation needs to come together. Please use your reelection and your skills as a community organizer to be the ultimate nation organizer. Reach out to the opposition and embrace them as you’ve embraced your own party. Use your powerful office to unite and bring us all into the new future this country so desperately needs now. Mr. Boehner, as Speaker of the House it’s within your power to lead your party and the nation. Current public opinion of the Republican-led house is at an all-time low. If you can lead, you have nowhere to go but up. If you can’t lead the House and this nation to anything more than just further gridlock, then perhaps it’s time to step down and let a new leader seek solutions that enhance the party’s standing and inspire the party faithful. The nation and the economy need an optimistic outlook. We need to restore national pride. We need to put a new luster on America’s world imagine. The world needs American leadership now perhaps
more than ever, but if we can’t solve our own problems, how will we realistically Dan Alexander meet the Thoughts from many chalBehind the Pressline lenges that lie on the world agenda? Mr. Reed, you and your colleagues must lead the Senate to be the catalyst the brings the speaker and president together. It’s not an easy job but certainly more rewarding than presiding over a body that has accomplished little since you’ve taken control of the Senate. America, red states and blue states, we have a choice. We can continue to drive our elected officials to even greater forms of divisiveness and destroy this country for future generations or we can wake up and smell what we’ve been brewing and start sending the message of national unity that gives our elected officials the green light to move to common ground. It’s time to end this economic nightmare and recognize we’ve each got far more to lose than we’ll ever gain if we keep the country going in the current direction. We need less political cover and partisan rhetoric than we’re currently getting from harebrain stunts like the Sequester, where both parties sign on then blame the other side for its devastating effects. It was always nothing more than a façade, designed to give both parties cover during the election cycle. If both parties could sign on to that goofy plan as the best way to govern, just think what’s next if we don’t demand they set a new course now. It’s time for a new national quest … a United States quest to rediscover the promise and opportunity we owe future generations. Let’s start solving these issues now before it’s too late. We can do this. It won’t be easy, but every day we wait to start turning things around will make it that much more painful. Dan Alexander is associate publisher of New Market Press.

Ludlow museum tower gets named By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com LUDLOW — Despite the fact that 123 years have passed since President Calvin Coolidge graduated from Black River Academy, most folks are sure he’d still recognize his high school alma mater. They're also sure he’d approve of the recent improvements made to the classic brick edifice, built in 1888, which now serves as an award-winning local history museum. Recently, board members of the Black River Academy Museum voted to name the new museum’s new elevator and fire stairs tower for Richard B. Nye. Nye envisioned the museum’s new tower over ten years ago. “Richard had the foresight to realize that the museum needed to be accessible to everyone with an elevator and ground floor entrance,” according to Anita Alic, BRAM’s Capital Campaign chairwoman. “Ten years ago he urged the board to start a capital campaign for an elevator, housed in a separate tower in order to maintain the integrity of the museum’s interior and to house the fire code mandated second egress.” In 2007, Alic said, Nye made a $100,000 donation and immediately challenged the board to raise the rest of the money for the tower. “Richard inspired us all” said Alic, “and continued to do so right through the successful completion of the campaign and the tower last year.” The tower and fire stairs were completed in 2011 and the elevator was installed in 2012. A ribbon cutting ceremony took place last June. Nye was the first person to ride the elevator to the top. “We are pleased to name the tower for such a generous person,” Alic noted.
Meeting to discuss downtown 2014 bridge project By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — A little pain for residents will mean considerable gain for downtown Middlebury merchants next year. The pain will start in 2014 when reconstruction work begins on two bridges on Main Street and Merchants Row. But the end result will be more durable spans to handle crosstown traffic. The venerable, Main Street Roman-
arch span, is designated Town Highway Bridge 102; the Merchants Row, designated at Town Highway 2 and crosses the subtended Vermont Railway track through the downtown. A special public meeting about the project will be held Thursday, March 28, at 6 p.m. in the Town Hall Theater at 68 S. Pleasant St. The special meeting will be presented by the Town of Middlebury and Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. According to a news announcement by the town, “The intent of the meeting
is to introduce this project to local and regional officials and those directly affected by the potential work along Main Street and Merchants Row. It is anticipated construction of this project will take place during the 2014 season.” Town officials as well as engineers from Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. of North Ferrisburgh, the engineering firm working for the town, will discuss the project with residents. They will also answer public questions and address concerns.

Vergennes needs new police station Last summer, while Vergennes Opera House patrons waited in line to purchase tickets to an event in the downstairs atrium, a Vergennes police officer entered with two people in handcuffs and passed by the line of anxious people to enter the office. The fact that Vergennes needs a new police station should come as no surprise to any city resident and the above incident shows many reasons why. The police officer was forced to bring suspects in through a public entrance, potentially impacting public safety. The suspects’ right to privacy was impacted. Once in the police office, there was no place to separate two people in separate holding areas. If a potential witness or complainant accompanied the officer, he or she would need to pass a line of curious people then potentially face the accused. The cramped, cluttered quarters our police force occupies is simply not acceptable for effective law enforcement. The Vergennes City Council, with the help of consultants, City Manager Mel Hawley and Vergennes P.D. Chief George Merkel, has offered a no-frills design for a new police station that will serve the current and future requirements of our busy and dedicated police force. The new station design provides improved safety for the public and our police officers, protects the privacy of suspects and the public, fulfills requirements for separation of juvenile and adult offenders and allows for expanded record keeping and evidence processing. There has been reasonable concern about the size and scope of the planned facility. The station planning committee (Renny Perry, Randall Ouellette, Ziggy Comeau, and Christine Collette) and the Council have listened to these concerns and feel we have a final design that balances the requirements of a modern police force with the valid apprehensions about cost. As with any investment, people should expect reasonable value in return. In our opinion, the new station provides that value for our community. A well designed, municipal police building will provide an anchor for our newly designated Northern Gateway district. An effective police department will provide improved public safety which is shown to help maintain property values. The bond issue for $1,850,000 will increase the tax rate by 6.5 cents. Operating costs for the new station will have to be included in the city budget. The Vergennes City Council has reviewed options that may reduce this increase by a penny or two. If the increase were 6.0 cents, the taxes on a property assessed at $200,000 would increase by $120, or 33 cents a day, in year 2 with no further increase in taxes. Income sensitivity would cap tax increases for those that qualify. It is important to note, that even with the estimated additional increase on our municipal tax rate, Vergennes is still well below the tax rates of Middlebury, St. Albans, Newport, Springfield, and most other “full service” municipalities in Vermont. The Vergennes Police force is so much more than law and order. Public forums have informed people about issues facing our community and helped form a proactive attitude. The presence of officers at VUHS and the formation of a police explorer ’s program have helped engender a positive image for our department. It is now time for Vergennes residents to provide our police department with the facilities they need to serve our community effectively. Talk with a council member or police officer if you have questions or comments about the station bond issue, attend the public meeting on Feb. 26 and please vote on Town Meeting Day. Bill Benton Joe Klopfenstein Randy Ouellette, Senior Alderman Renny Perry, Chair, Police Station Planning Committee Vergennes

Governor’s tree tapping kicks off sweet season MONTPELIER — Gov.

Woodchuck to honor Vt. cancer survivors
MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Hard Cider Company LLC, maker of Woodchuck Hard Cider, announced an addition to its lineup of bottled ciders. Woodchuck Pink is the latest in its Private Reserve line of innovative ciders. Pink brings recognition to the efforts of some local Vermonters, said company officials. Dragonheart Vermont is a breast cancer survivor and support organization based in our home state. Dragonheart successfully started the Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival in 2006 to raise money for cancer related non-profits. Woodchuck Pink was created to honor and create awareness for the effort. A monetary donation of $50,000 was also made to further the programs of Survivorship NOW. “Woodchuck Hard Cider ’s donation will help to keep the wellness programs of Survivorship NOW free to all cancer survivors in our Vermont community,” said Dragonheart Board Member Linda Dyer. “And, free for many survivors, is the difference of being able to participate in the classes or not. It is another example of our Vermont community pulling together to help one another and we truly appreciate it.”
Brandon Music presents Sarah Blacker BRANDON — Boston-based singer-songwriter Sarah Blacker as been described as a soulful songwriter and singer. On, Saturday, March 2, at 7 p.m., Brandon Music will present a concert by Blacker, 30, that will showcase her to a Vermont audience. Blacker ’s music is a unique blend of acoustic rock, folk and jazz, and has shared the stage with America, Paula Cole, the Wood Brothers, and Sara Bareilles to name just a few. A Boston Noise reviewer wrote that, “Sarah Blacker ’s got a talent far and above what most singers can deliver. Her work is soulful, powerfully emotional, and can make you laugh, cry, or just forget whatever it is you’re thinking about and be absorbed by the music.” Blacker is a full-time singer-songwriter on the verge of releasing her third album. Blacker ’s music video for her song, ”Knocked the Winds”, is a current nominee for Limelight magazine’s Video of the Year. Last year, she was a nominee for New England Music Award Female Performer of the Year and Limelight magazine’s Singer-Songwriter of the Year. In 2011, Blacker was named Artist of the Year by My Rural Radio. Her song, “Smell of Caramel”, was recently featured on the MTV show “Jersey Shore”. At the Brandon concert, Blacker will be accompanied by Shaysh on drums, Erik White on guitar, and Sean McLaughlin on bass.

Rikert Nordic Center now has snowmaking MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – Middlebury College has completed the installation of snowmaking equipment on five kilometers of trails at the Rikert Nordic Center, a 50-kilometer cross-country skiing area in Ripton, Vt., owned and operated by the college. The new, $850,000 snowmaking system will extend the cross-country skiing season and all-but-ensure that there will be snow when the college hosts the NCAA skiing championships in March. While snowmaking is commonplace at many of New England’s alpine skiing areas, it is less of an everyday occurrence at Nordic centers. “Rikert now has the most extensive snowmaking system of its type among all of the Nordic centers in North America,” said Mike Hussey, director of the Rikert Nordic Center. Other cross-country ski areas have the equipment and the know-how to make their own snow, but Rikert’s five kilometers of coverage – the equivalent of about 3.1 miles – is the most extensive coverage in the Northeast, Hussey said. Rikert Nordic Center now has 20 “snowguns” manufactured by HKD Snowmakers of Natick, Mass., to make its
snow. At full capacity Rikert’s snowmaking system uses up to 250 gallons of water per minute. For comparison purposes, Hussey estimated that a major alpine ski area such as Killington pumps about 10,000 gallons of water per minute. At 250 gallons per minute, the staff at Rikert can produce enough snow to cover five kilometers of trail in about 200 hours’ time. The system designed by Sno.Matic Controls and Engineering of Lyme, N.H., pumps compressed air and pressurized water through above-ground lines to each of Rikert’s moveable snowguns. As long as the temperature is below 32 degrees F. and the humidity is low enough, compressed air mixed with water droplets at the head of a modern snowgun will produce ice crystals, or man-made snow. And once a portion of trail has been covered sufficiently, the apparatus is moved to another section of trail while the staff grooms the newly made snow. The acquisition of a snowmaking system at Rikert was made possible by the generosity of Middlebury alumnus John Tormondsen and his family. A former first-team AllAmerican Nordic skier and member of the Class of 1982, Tor-
mondsen serves on the college’s board of trustees. Prior to the winter of 2011-12, the college completed construction of a five-kilometer trail that was certified by the Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) as a “homologated” race course. In order to be certified, the trail had to meet FIS standards for width, climb levels and total elevation. Rikert’s new snowmaking capacity covers the FIS-certified course, which has been newly named the Tormondsen Family Race Trail. Hussey, Rikert’s director, said snowmaking should increase the Nordic center ’s number of skier days and serve as a “tremendous benefit” to the Addison County region. “The real value of this system is to be able to make snow in the early portion of the season, to give skiers an early start and get them excited about cross-country skiing,” Hussey said. “In this region, we have world-class lodging, restaurants and arts and culture, but most of our businesses and institutions are underutilized in the winter. Now that we have state-of-the-art snowmaking on our FIS-certified course, we should see more skier days at Rikert each winter and more business generated in the community.” To date, the college has raised $600,000 toward the $850,000 cost of snowmaking at Rikert. Fund raisers are working to raise the remaining $250,000 before the end of the 2012-2013 ski season.

Jewish theater group to bring Vermont political leaders to vie ‘The Chosen’ to Middlebury for State House bagging rights MIDDLEBURY — Theatre Kavanah, a Burlington-based company devoted to exploring the intricacies of the Jewish experience, will bring a staged reading of Aaron Posner and Chaim Potok's “The Chosen” to Town Hall Theater on Thursday, March 7. Directed by Mark Alan Gordon, The Chosen immerses its audience in the lives of two boys, two fathers, and two distinct Jewish communities, "five blocks and a world apart." Set against the backdrop of World War II, the revelation of the Holocaust, and the founding of the State of Israel, the play is at once heartbreaking and hopeful. Its themes of struggle, transformation, and, ultimately, understanding transcend time and circumstance. Middlebury resident Adam Joselson will portray the young Reuven Malter, whose friendship with the ultra-Orthodox Danny Saunders is at the center of the play. Joselson, a sophomore at Middlebury Union High School, played the part of young Reuven in Theatre Kavanah's inaugural performance of “The Chosen” in Burlington in 2012, and he will reprise his role at the Town Hall Theater, as well as in Burlington and
Stowe. Prior to the Middlebury show, award-winning playwright and recipient of the 2002 “New Voice in American Theatre” award Dana Yeaton will deliver a free talk about taking works from the page to the stage. Yeaton's adaptation of Chris Bohjalian’s best-selling novel, Midwives, is frequently performed at professional and university theatres across the country. Mr. Yeaton is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Theatre at Middlebury College. This staged reading will feature G. Richard Ames, Bruce Chalmer, Adam Joselson, Jason Lorber, Matthew Winston, and Charlie Yarwood. Homemade chicken soup and other refreshments will be available for purchase, sponsored by Havurah: Addison County Jewish Congregation. “The Chosen” will be performed at Town Hall Theater on Thursday, March 7. The preshow talk begins at 7 p.m. in the Gallery, and curtain is at 8 p.m. Tickets, $15/10, are available at www.townhalltheater.org, 802382-9222 or at the THT Box Office Monday–Saturday between noon and 5 p.m.

MONTPELIER — Members of the Vermont retail community gathered in Montpelier last week and were treated to a little friendly competition at an annual luncheon at the Capitol Plaza Hotel. House Speaker Shap Smith, Senate Leader John Campbell and the governor ’s Chief of Staff Liz Miller, engaged in a bagging competition. Judges for the special contest were Todd Keyworth of Harborside Market and chair of the Vermont Grocers Association, Marc Sherman of Stowe Mercantile and president of the Vermont Retail Association and Liz Schiller of Shaw’s, Waterbury, last year ’s Vermont champion bagger. The contest included putting a variety of items into several bags, just like at the retail checkout and will be evaluated on weight distribution, speed and proper packing. No paper or plastic for the politicians, the contest were done with reusable bags. The competition was fun and spirited. In a similar event last fall, Speaker Smith nudged out Lt. Gov. Phil Scott and Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger.

VUHS teacher is ‘Unsung Hero’ By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com VERGENNES — A famous quote, attributed to a long dead Greek philosopher, is often mentioned when talking about the impact of teachers: “Teachers can open the door but it's your choice whether to walk through or not.” In the case of St. Michael’s College freshman Nick Paquin, and a graduate of Vergennes High School, he walked through an open door that VUHS educator Sarah Thompson opened for him a few years ago. Vergennes Union High School teacher Sarah Thompson of Charlotte was selected as an “Unsung Hero” in the Saint Michael's College Teacher Recognition Program.
Outdoor & Indoor Wood Boilers
Thompson was nominated by Paquin who never forget the high school teacher. Paquin said, “I believe Ms. Thompson should get this award because she always went out of her way to help me through my studies. She was there to help me with any problem I ever had. She was like a really cool mom or guardian. Not to mention she is one of the nicest people I've ever met. She truly deserves this award...” Thompson thanked the former VUHS student and said there were many good teachers at VUHS. “We feel very fortunate to have Nick Paquin as a member of our campus community," Flanagan said. “I hope that the best and brightest from Vergennes Union High School will continue to come to Saint Michael's College.”

Rutland hospital from page 1 “The Solar Center at Rutland Regional is a big step toward fulfilling our commitment to make Rutland the center of solar development in Vermont and New England,” said Steve Costello, GMP’s vice president for generation and energy innovation. “We’re building momentum with each project, and are optimistic that several other projects will be announced in the next few months.” The solar center will be built on Rutland Regional property surrounding two stormwater retention ponds just south of Allen Street, adjacent to the hospital’s walking path. “There is little potential for other uses of that corner of the property, so we see this as a great way to put it into productive use,” said Mary Nemeth, Rutland Regional’s vice president for corporate support services. GMP, which will own and maintain the solar center, will put it out to bid this month. Under a 25-year lease agreement with Rutland Regional, GMP will credit the hospital for 10 percent of the project’s output. The remaining energy will go onto the local electric grid and will be consumed by local GMP customers.
“This is a low-risk way for Rutland Regional to gather a lot of first-hand knowledge about solar while helping move the Solar Capital initiative forward,” Costello said. “We’re hopeful that the Rutland Regional Solar Center agreement, which is modeled after the Stafford Hill agreement with the City of Rutland, will serve as a model for others interested in developing solar in a collaborative manner.” The solar center will be GMP’s third in the city of Rutland, part of the company’s promise to make Rutland the Solar Capital of New England, with the highest solar reliance per capita of any city in the region. GMP already operates the Creek Path Solar Farm, purchased a majority interest in the solar farm on the former Poor Farm off Woodstock Avenue, and is in the planning stages for the Stafford Hill Solar Farm on a former city landfill. Depending on engineering studies, that project has potential to be the largest in the state, at 2.3 megawatts or more. GMP is also talking with numerous solar developers about other potential projects in the city. Pending approval by the Public Service Board, GMP and Rutland Regional hope to break ground this spring. “We hope to be up and running in June to take advantage of the strong summer sun,” Huebner said.

Hinesburg Artist Series marks 17th year Anniversary concert set for March 17 at St. Jude Church HINESBURG — The Hinesburg Artist Series’ Seventeenth Anniversary Concert will be held on Sunday, March 17, at 4:30 p.m. at St. Jude Church in Hinesburg. The performances, under the direction of Rufus C. Patrick, will include the South County Chorus and the Hinesburg Artist Series Orchestra performing the Faure' Requiem, St. Patrick Hymn, Nella Fantasia, Song of Peace and a suite of three spirituals arranged by Mark Hayes. Former and current Vermont Youth Orchestra, members Michael Danielski, Nicola Cannizzaro, Emily Bayer Pacht, Anja Jokela, Jane Kittredge and Noah Marconi will be in the orchestra and featured soloists will be renowned harpist Grace Cloutier, violist Tatiana Trono, soprano Amy Frostman and baritone Gary Moreau. Harpist Grace Cloutier has performed on several occasions with HAS and is returning for this anniversary concert. Her new album with Etherea Vocal Ensemble, “Hymn to the Dawn” recently made the Amazon.com Hot New Releases in Opera and Vocal Music list and was top five on I Tunes.
Amy Frostman and Gary Moreau are familiar and popular soloists throughout Vermont and are both favorites of HAS audiences. A first time soloist with HAS, Tatiana Trono has been an avid musician since finding her musical voice on the viola at the age of 15. A native Vermonter, Tatiana made her solo debut with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra when she was 17, and was heard statewide and beyond after performing on Vermont Public Radio. Trono has performed in other chambers such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center and Millennium Stage, Ozawa Hall, Koussevitzky Music Shed. Trono received her Bachelor ’s degree with Victoria Chiang at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. This year she’s finishing her Master of Music Degree with Ivo-Jan van der Werff at the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University in Houston. Tatiana and pianist Claire Black will perform “La Nuit” transcribed by Henri Vieuxtemps. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and students. Children under 12 are free. Tickets can be purchased at the door or ahead of time at Brown Dog Gifts and Books.
