1731 fort rediscovered at Champlain bridge site
Farmer On a Mission

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com ADDISON—An archaeological “rediscovery” has been announced at the Chimney Point site of the proposed Lake Champlain Bridge. It is uncertain if the announced rediscovery will affect plans for the new bridge to replace the 1920s span that was demolished in December 2009. Scientists have found a 1731 French fort near a standing pier of the old bridge on the Vermont shore at Chimney Point in Addison. "It's a hugely exciting find, one of the great and exciting finds of a lifetime really," Elsa Gilbertson, administrator for the Chimney Point State Historic Site, told news reporters March 14.

Local low-achieving schools targeted BRISTOL—The Vermont Department of Education released a list of persistently low-achieving Vermont schools that are eligible for a federal bailout, of sorts, last week. Bridport Elementary School, Fair Haven High School, Johnson Elementary School, Mount Abraham Union High School, Northfield Elementary School, Otter Valley High School, Rutland High School, Windsor High School, Winooski High School and H.O. Wheeler Elementary in Burlington top the state list. The schools have all failed to make adequately yearly progress on student assessment tests for the past several years. The schools are eligible for federal grants, but they will have to take one of four actions: close the school, reopen as a charter school, fire the principal and half the teachers or submit a restructuring plan.

HUNTINGTON — On March 12, at approximately 12:20 a.m. , Victoria Ramsey, age 22, of Burlington was traveling in a motor vehicle north on Main Road in Huntington when she drifted off the left side of the roadway and down an embankment. Ramsey was not injured in the incident, but upon further investigation, Vermont State Police troopers determined that Ramsey had been driving under the influence of intoxicating liquors. Ramsey was subsequently arrested and taken to the Williston State Police Barracks and processed for DUI. Ramsey had a BAC of 0.143 percent. Ramsey was released with a citation to appear in court for the offense of DUI.

CCV launches new science program
THE EAGLE - 3
Towns receive public funds for senior projects
MIDDLEBURY—The Community College of Vermont is launching a new associate of science degree in environmental science and a certificate in sustainable buildings beginning this fall. The environmental science program offers three tracks in which students may concentrate their studies: environmental literacy and education, sustainable building technology, and natural resources. Students will gain an understanding of environmental problems and obtain the knowledge and skills to begin developing solutions. Graduates of the program will be prepared for employment in areas related to the environment or for transfer to a four-year institution of higher learning. The College is holding free information sessions for anyone interested in this growing field. Sessions will be held on Tuesday, March 23, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the CCV-Montpelier site; Thursday, April 1, from 9 a.m. to noon at CCV-Burlington; and on Wednesday, April 14, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at CCV-Rutland. Information will also be available on CCV’s Assessment of Prior Learning course in which students can earn college credit for knowledge gained in the workplace, the military or other experience. These credits can help students get a jump-start towards a CCV associate degree. Those who cannot attend a session may call the CCV Middlebury office at 388-3032 for further information. In the process of developing the environmental science degree program, Coordinator of Allied Health Programs Darlene Murphy surveyed employers throughout the environmental industry in Vermont and convened a panel of environmental experts who provided insightful feedback into the curriculum. In the planning process, Murphy also worked with faculty from four-year institutions in Vermont to assure transferability of courses into baccalaureate programs. For more information on the Community College of Vermont, visit www.ccv.edu, or call the CCV Middlebury office at 388-3032.

VERGENNES—Addison County seniors will find the burden of living made a little lighter thanks to taxpayer funds that will be used for various projects. Gov. Jim Douglas today awarded more than $630,000 in Community Development Block Grants to five Vermont communities including Bristol and Vergennes. At a ceremony at the American Legion Post 14 in Vergennes, Douglas announced funding for an affordable housing project for the elderly, as well as money for improvements to make municipal buildings handicapped accessible. “This project will provide much-needed housing for seniors in Vergennes, with on-site services and easy access to nearby services and the community,” Douglas said. “These kinds of projects are an important part of Vermont’s housing stock, particularly as more of our population seeks to remain in their communities as they age.” The $500,000 Community Development Block Grant will be given to the City of Vergennes, then loaned to Housing Vermont, which will construct the new building and infrastructure improvements that together total nearly $6 million on the 12-acre site. The building will have 20 one-bedroom units and 5 two-bedroom units, and will also feature a common area; community kitchen; private examination rooms; a “meals on wheels” storage area; and a business office for a part time resident service coordinator. This project is part of a planned development that also includes the initial permitting of a new daycare center and additional residential development proposed for the future. Five of the units are market rate; the remaining 20 will be affordable housing. In addition to connecting to the city water and sewer systems and construction of a storm water treatment system, the site work will also include new sidewalks that extend to Monkton Road; pedestrian pathways that connect to city sidewalks; parking; and landscaping. This site is conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Vergennes and will provide seniors with access to many amenities, social opportunities and community services. Another grant of $17,500 will be used by the City of Montpelier to study the capacity of the former Senior Center at 58 Barre St. which was damaged in a December fire, and the ex-
isting municipal Recreation Center at 55 Barre Street, for their respective uses. In addition, the feasibility of adding senior housing in the 58 Barre Street Senior Center building will be studied. And two towns, Bristol and Georgia, received grants of $50,000 and $32,885 to make their municipal buildings handicapped accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). “Built in 1885, Holley Hall serves as both the Town of Bristol’s town hall and town offices and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places,” the Governor said. “This historic building is a vital part of civic and cultural life in Bristol.” The first floor of the building, which also hosts town meetings, public hearings, recreational programs, performing arts and other events, will be completely renovated to accommodate the town offices and will include a new vault, electrical upgrades, and energy improvements. The second floor – a large auditorium – will be made ADA accessible; its floor will be completely renovated and restored; the roof system and balcony will be repaired; and the doors, windows and the bell tower will be weatherized. The Town of Georgia will receive $32,885 to help pay for handicapped accessibility modifications to the Georgia Town Office. “These funds will help install a lift to make the building handicapped accessible to both floors, and complete other improvements to ensure that the bathroom, parking lots, entry ways, and other features of the building are ADA compliant, including way-finding signage; changing handrails; and reconfiguring parking spaces to accommodate sideloading vans,” Governor Douglas said. In February, Douglas presented a $30,000 grant to officials from the City of South Burlington to fund preliminary work on a new Burlington Aviation Technical Training Center. Vermont receives about $7 million annually in federal CDBG funds, which are used principally to benefit persons of low and moderate income. The state awards the competitive grants based on recommendations of the Vermont Community Development Board and approval of Commerce and Community Development Secretary Kevin Dorn.

Mental illness course offered in Middlebury
The palisaded log fort stood between 1731 until 1759. An 18th century map shows the fort exactly where it was found. In 1929, bridge workers saw the old fort’s stone foundation about a foot and a half from the bridge pier on the Vermont shore. According to the French National Archives, the fort was a square 125 feet on a side. As many as 30 soldiers may have manned the lakeshore redoubt. Archaeologists also found evidence of a nearby redware pottery works that lasted until the late 1700s. According to news reports, a 9,000-year-old spear point was also uncovered at the site in December.

Counseling service To the editor: Once again, the Counseling Service of Addison County thanks the residents of our local communities for generously supporting the agency in their town budgets. As a result of Town Meeting votes, a total of approximately $34,600 will be contributed to support the work of the agency. The Counseling Service provides support and treatment to members of our communities with emotional problems or developmental disabilities. Town contributions are used to support our Emergency Team, with its 24-hours-a-day, seven-daysa-week psychiatric and emergency response capability. Last year, this skilled and compassionate team of therapists and psychiatrists served 542 individuals with 3,478 total client contacts. Many of these services are not reimbursed, either by insurance or by the recipients. In addition to our emergency services, we offer a full array of programs to serve the mental health needs of people in Addison County. These services include therapy for children and adults dealing with temporary emotional stress, ongoing support and training for people with chronic developmental disabilities or severe mental illness, counseling services in schools for students in crisis, and assistance to families with children with serious emotional problems. These services are made available on a sliding scale based on insurance coverage and the ability of our clients to pay. During 2009, the Counseling Service helped meet the needs of about 2,200 individual children, youths, and adults. The contributions from Addison County towns will help us continue serving these people, our friends and neighbors, especially in times of emergency. We are indeed grateful for your generosity. Robert S. Thorn, Executive Director Barbara Doyle-Wilch, Board President Addison County
Hoodwinked in Bristol To the editor: So the Bristol voters have spoken. They don't want a gravel pit near town. For those of you who did not vote—shame on you. You have allowed a group of not so smart transplants to determine a major growth factor in our lives. No matter how you look at it, Bristol needs that gravel pit. People were bombarded with letters, newspaper ads, and phone calls toting how 'terrible' that pit would be for Bristol. For those that voted down the pit, you got sucked into the half truths, rhetoric, and outright lies that a small group of transplants spewed forth to your ears. In Washington, it's called spin. In Bristol it's called smart growth. There's nothing smart about stiffling Bristol's needs for the future. Either way, you've been hoodwinked. There was much more noise and dust pollution from the Lathrop saw mill (when it was in operation) than the gravel pit will ever produce. Just like lambs following a lost shepard, you let the community down. What's curious is why this same group of people don't protest the gravel pit on the west side of Bristol (owned by the Town of New Haven). Now that's an eye sore. It's the first thing you seen when entering Bristol from the west. Yet, you were told that the Lathrop's gravel pit would be an eye sore to downtown Bristol. Really? You would have to stand in a tree at the Bristol water reservoir to see any portion of the Lathrop's pit. Let alone from down town. Like I said, you've been hoodwinked. Burt Degraw Bristol
MAUHS audit To the editor: For the past three years the professional audits at Mt Abe have not been presented to the voters until after the annual meeting leaving the voters with no way to assess the veracity of the proposed budget prior to voting on it. This year the Mt. Abe elected auditors report signed by only two of the three elected auditors which was presented for the first time on the eve of the Mt. Abe annual meeting was never presented to the board for approval and proper inclusion in the printed annual report. We may never know why the third auditor did not sign the document. Contained in the elected auditor’s report were these statements: (1) “The reality is that the school, being a municipality, must operate under the rules of fund accounting.” (2) “…..fund accounting is a specialized form of accounting that many accountants do not understand.” (3) “The problem this year did not lie with the central office, but rather the accounting firm hired to do the audit.” Fund accounting is used by most municipalities and nonprofits. It tracks how money is spent rather than how much profit was earned. A business manager in charge of such an entity must be able to produce reports that can detail expenditures and revenues for multiple funds, and reports that summarize the financial activities of the entire entity across all funds. At any given time, the school system must be able to extract the financial activities attributed to sundry programs and report on them. Many nonprofit organizations and the public sector use offthe-shelf or custom-designed accounting software that is flexible enough to accommodate the needs of special reporting. Fund accounting is not rocket science but it does require diligent and suitable attention. Perhaps if more prudent and judicious bookkeeping practices had been utilized in the business office the infamous $400, the embezzlement and the payroll tax liability would not have been so embarrassingly overlooked. The accounting profession continues to support the use of fund accounting by providing extensive standards and principles in this area. Comparing the last three professional audits it’s obvious to me that the cause of the tardy audits is because the ANESU has failed to comply with the “extensive standards and principles” provided by the accounting professionals. I disagree with the elected auditors’ position that the blame rest with the accounting firm, Sullivan & Powers, Inc. To facilitate the production of timely audits in the future, the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union business office needs to address and correct the deficiencies in their accounting procedures that have been previously identified by Sullivan & Powers, Inc.

Little Pressroom To the editor: As you may know, I left the Chamber of Commerce back in December and during the time since I've enjoyed truly great support from many, as well as a number of career opportunities to consider.One of these involved lots of intriguing talks with Ray and Lynda Rheaume. We are very happy to announce we have come to agreement on my continuing their legacy as the new owner of The Little Pressroom in Middlebury. Lynda and Ray have successfully run this business for over 20 years and are now ready to move onto their next big adventure, though Ray will be with me for the next few months to ensure a smooth professional transition. Our mission will be to continue to offer high quality printed products for businesses, groups and individuals. In addition, we will offer promotional products, too. We will have this business up and running in the near future, so look for more info soon. The Little Pressroom will remain in the same Middlebury location at 18 Creek Rd. in the plaza next to Countryside Carpet and Paint (and the Addison Eagle office); you can reach us at 388-2337 or by email at littlepressroom@comcast.net. I am very thankful to the Rheaumes for allowing me to be a part of this process and I look forward to the new challenges ahead. I also once again want to thank all of you who have provided such tremendous support. I have missed being in the business of helping business, and am excited to reconnect to help in a new way.

To the editor: The Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) provides electricity to rural, sparsely settled areas in Vermont that investor-owned utilities do not serve. It is non-profit under the control of a board of directors elected by its members/customers. Today, it serves about 34,000 members with almost 10 percent of Vermont’s power load. VEC, although a small utility, is integrally connected with the Vermont, New England and, ultimately, the national systems. As a member-controlled entity it has special stature as it participates in the many challenges facing utilities: alternative energy, energy management, nuclear power, transmission, security are but a few. Most importantly to its members is the provision of reliable and affordable energy. VEC members in 2009 voted to reduce the Board from 13 to 12 Directors: 7 Directors to be elected from designated districts and 5 to be ‘at-large’. This May all 12 Director positions are up for election. Under the new design, District 5 includes 4689 Chittenden County and 188 Starksboro members who will elect one Director to replace the three directors elected in 2006/ 2009. There will likely be other candidates for this single representative. Ballots will be mailed to members on April 20 and must be returned by May 14 to be tallied at the May 15 VEC annual meeting. I am a candidate for this directorship. A letter to the editors makes it impossible to provide my resume other than to state that I am retired, have the time and interest with an extensive professional background in government, regulatory matters, law, management and planning which will enable me to be a challenging and constructive member of the board.

Low achieving Mt. Abe To the editor: I am writing with a deep feeling of disappointment in my stomach. The recent news identifying Vermont’s “10 persistently lowachieving schools” has me wondering: where is the return on the high educational portion of my property tax investment? I live in the Mount Abraham Union District and I have yet to see or hear of any response from the local administration expressing their views on why Mt. Abe is on the list? I have only seen passive comments from others which seem empty and lack the judgment one should expect from professional educators in our state. Here is the typical irresponsible comment we are hearing: “Vermont’s lowest-achieving schools would not be on the list in many other states because Vermont standardized test scores routinely put the state in the top five nationally.” In response, I must ask our local school administration: “If other county schools such as Middlebury and Vergennes are not identified as low achieving schools, how can anyone defend why Mt. Abe is on the list”? It is also evident to me that Mt. Abe is not receiving poorly educated students from the five district feeder elementary schools consisting of, Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton, New Haven and Starksboro. There are four elementary schools identified as “low achieving” and none of these local schools appear on that list. As a long term Bristol resident and taxpayer I am upset, and I suspect many other neighboring taxpayers are also upset to have our local High School identified on such a degrading listing. We keep on voting in multi-million dollar operating budgets for Mt. Abe and what do we get in return? We get to see our school identified on T.V. and in newspapers as persistently low achieving. If my annual school tax monies were going into long term personal stock investments I could ride out the high and low market fluctuations. However, when it comes to education we can’t afford any lows. Every year a new class is graduating and we pin our hopes on them being prepared to lead responsible and productive lives. There is not an acceptable excuse for having our school labeled as “persistently low achieving”. Martin Thompson Bristol
Why the Pope? To the editor: The attempts to drag Pope Benedict XVI into the scandal surrounding pedophile priests in Germany should stop. As head of the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope naturally bears some responsibility for the actions of the authorities under him. But this campaign by the media and anti-Christian liberals is hardly a righteous one. Its real aim is to drive God out of the public sphere and to undermine an institution that, despite its many problems, is one of the few remaining pillars of reverence and respect in society. I am not Catholic, but have met the man who is now Pope Benedict on several occasions and found him to be a God-fearing person who has one longing: to serve Jesus and his church. I sensed in him the sort of conviction that springs from a deep personal faith. This conviction has been labeled “conservatism” and has aroused great hatred. If anything, this hatred emboldens me to stand by the Pope and pray that he continues to fight evil with good. Abuse of minors by Catholic clergymen is a very real plague, and I can well understand the fury unleashed by reports of one cover-up after another. But child abuse is not a Catholic problem. It is a societal one that implicates everyone who has bought into the myth of sexual “freedom” promoted by today’s fashion and entertainment industries. Jesus said that if anyone misleads a child, it would be better for him to be drowned with a millstone around his neck. But he also invited anyone without guilt to cast the first stone... Rev. Johann Christoph Arnold Pastor, Church Communities Rifton, N.Y.

QUEBEC HONORS—Gov. Jim Douglas received the National Order of Québec (l’Ordre national du Québec) March 11 at a ceremony in the Québec National Assembly, becoming only the fourth American and first American public official to receive the honor. Québec Premier Jean Charest cited Douglas’ work in strengthening the historic Québec -Vermont relationship throughout his career in public service during the investiture ceremony. Douglas thanked the assembly in French: “...Nous avons poursuivi nos jurisdictions respectives depuis les dernières sept années et l’amitié que nous avons développée représente bien l’amitié profonde que partage le peuple du Québec et du Vermont.” The governor is a long-time resident of Middlebury. QUEBEC CITY—Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas traveled to Quebec City earlier this week for a series of meetings with Quebec government officials, including Premier Jean Charest, and business leaders to discuss the bilateral relationship between Vermont and Quebec. The governor was joined by Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie and other cabinet officials, as well as Vermont business leaders. Agriculture Secretary Roger Allbee led a group of Vermont specialty food producers who met with counterparts across the border to discuss ways to leverage local products within our region and with a focus on "Taste of Place". Commerce Secretary Kevin Dorn
joined Douglas at a breakfast meeting with the Quebec City Chamber of Commerce and the Quebec City Chapter of the American Chamber of Commerce in Canada. Public Service Commissioner David O'Brien co-chaired the meeting of the Vermont-Quebec Green Energy and Trade Task Force. Douglas then met privately with Premier Charest. Two agreements between Vermont and Quebec were signed: one updating a previous agreement on collaborative efforts to clean-up Lake Champlain, the other committing the two jurisdictions to work together on agri-food initiatives. These agreements will update the bilateral agreement signed by Douglas and Charest in 2003.
As chairman of the National Governors Association (NGA), Douglas was honored to host the historic first meeting between the governors and the Council of the Federation, the Canadian premiers’ equivalent to the NGA. Douglas said of the meeting, "my experience working closely with Premier Charest and other Eastern Canadian Premiers has shown me the tremendous benefits of our cross border relationships. Bringing Canadian premiers and U.S. governors together, in one room, can lead to new opportunities to promote the interests of Americans and Canadians throughout our two nations."

More on deer jackin’ “Y
ar, yar, yar—I’m Game Warden Marshall X and you jest murdered yourself a decoy deer. You’re under arrest for deer jackin’!” Well, now I know why that deer did not move. I did not know what to do next, so I thought I’d do what I do when I don’t know what to do and that is to do what comes natural—so, I reloaded my rifle and I pointed into the direction of where the bellerin’ was coming from, and I drew bead right into the center of old Marshall’s temple and you know I’d be lyin’ if I told ya I wasn’t some tempted to send a report headed right to the side of his noggin and I know’d I’d a been goin up the river the hero of the town if I dispatched the old bastard —but I thought I’d rather pay the jackin’ fine and have my truck confiscated then spend the rest of my days incarcerated up to St. Johnsbury for killin’ a man, o I let him go free. Marshall X. Marshall X, 57 years of age, got himself a much younger woman I hear. I imagine an exciting evening is the two of them settin’ around together waiting for another one of her baby teeth to fall out. And hopin’ another one a his’n don’t. Marshall’s a keen one though; I hear she’s got hold of herself a gol darn good job with the possibility of becoming assistant manager down to the big box store in Morrisville. Talk about a retirement plan; hell, that’s better ’n one of them 401, Roth, IR, money market K things there, or whatever you call ‘em. But you can understand what Mr. X sees in that young Templeton girl though—she’s quite the rig. She’s got one of them Roman noses just like her mother who works down the Village Coffee Shop. And mom tells me that her daughter does fairly well, below average grade wise, in high school; however, she gets As in home services. Course me and the fellers down the garage all agree the Lord has blessed that young girl with the finest front and
backdoor yards you ever did see, but it’s hard to understand what she see’s in ol’ Marshall X (other than the fact that he has been accumulated quite an estate ever since he decided to sell them boulders from his farm land). You see, Marshall X figured, and rightly so, what with all them flatlanders ah movin’ up country and wanting to fancy dancy up their properties, he could make a fortune selling them boulders from his farmland. And I was able to see exactly what size of a fortune he was accumulatin’ when my wife had come to me; she said she thought we needed to have two large boulders, one set out on either side of the front entrance of our driveway. Well, I said “cripes all mighty, Sharon, it’s just something else to mow around.” But she was determined. I figured, Heck, it probably give her something pretty gol darn good to ricochet off from this winter when she’s driving down into the door yard; she would have to roust me up outta my comfy chair so gol darn often to yank her out of the snow bank, so I told her I’d try to oblige her, and I set off a searchin’ in earnest the following morning for Marshall. I didn’t get too awful far along when I come up from behind of him, a laboring up a hill on his Tote Goat. To be continued.

Shrinking class size equals increased budget
E
ven though I have never encountered any denial or resistance from legislators of my thesis that they are—with a very few easily identifiable exceptions—more intelli49794 gent and linguistically-skilled than the rest of us, it may be useful to furnish a case-in-point as partial proof, on the linguistic side. It showed up deep in the normally dry pages of legislative statutes and regulations; the language of the rulers now easily available to the ruled in ways not imaginable prior to the may-Isay class traitorous invention of the Internet by one of their own a couple of decades ago. Like the vulgate Bible, translated from Latin to Old German by Martin Luther, the recent placement of actual governmental language, where the locals can read it, has brought to light all manner of interesting revelations. Here’s one— The moment of epiphany arrived in the course of comparing K-12 student test scores in Tennessee with those in Vermont, a state-to-state comparison exercise which is possible, by intent, with the published but not-widely-distributed National Assessment of Educational Progress federal tests and is not possible, by intent, with the locally-purchased and -publicized NECAP tests in Vermont and TCAP tests in Tennessee. In the NAEP, the pupilteacher ratio stats (close to, but not precisely identical with, average class size) show Tennessee at 15.7-to-1 and Vermont at 10.8to-1, about a 50 percent difference which represents most of the difference in annual per-pupil spending: Tennessee at $7.7K, Vermont at $13.6K. A commensurate 50% difference in test scores 65396 doesn’t show up in the stats: in 4th grade reading, (for the white student cohort, to keep comparisons balanced) the NAEP shows Vermont students at 229 and Tennessee at 224. For the entire USA, with a p/t ratio of 15.5, 4th graders score 230, and for Vermont, they score 229. In Utah, with a class size of 22, they score 226. These closely bunched results (on a 0-500 scale, none “excellent”) don’t distribute as official edu-crat doctrine –“smaller classes produce higher test scores”—has been predicting for 30 years, promising markedly better results for the smaller classes and worse results for the larger ones. Why have almost all states, including Tennessee and Vermont, been growing budgets in pursuit of shrinking classes? Vermont has long had maximum class size regulations; historically, until recently, they called for 21 or fewer in grades K and 1, 23 or fewer in 2 and 3. No minimum, no recommendation, no average class size policy. Recently the Vermontrules were changed: 20 or fewer in K-3, 25 or fewer in 4-8. Tennessee also has a maximum class size regulation: K-3, 25; 4-6, 30; 7-12, 35. Unlike Vermont, Tennessee has a recommended Average Class Size: K-3, 20; 4-6, 25; 7-12, 30. In both states, the actual averages are well under the maxima (there’s that “‘small classes are better” doctrine at work, statistical evidence to the contrary notwithstanding) and in 388-4408 Tennessee they’re also well under the official recommendation. 32611 So my earlier question changes from “why do both states pursue an expensive but ineffective reduced-class-size policy? The stats show that both states have Everything you need for all of your beading maximum which they typically and metal working projects! undercut (substantially). And

we know the answer: their educrats still claim, disregarding 40 years of contrary hardnumbers evidence, that smaller class sizes are “worth it”, achievement-wise. The new question is “Why is Tennessee’s actual class size well under its own recommended minimum?” At first inspection, the Tennessee average class size page in the Education Regulations (page 3 in the “Minimum Requirements for the Approval of Public Schools”) seems to have the force of law; it’s printed complete with legal reference to Tennessee Code Annotated 49-1-302 and 49-6-3004. When you read the text, the critical sentence says, “Local Boards of Education shall have policies providing for class sizes in grades K-12 in accordance with the following..” and then the numbers reported above. How could local Boards flout specific state statute and regulation? But then, the epiphany-moment came. It had been illustrated earlier in the linguistic skill previously demonstrated by another high-I.Q. political figure, a subsequently-temporarily-disbarred member of the legal profession, who used conjugational (pun intended) analysis to explain that “it all depends on the meaning of the verb ‘is’.”. In this parallel but, fortunately, substantively different case of K-12 class size, “it all depends on the meaning of the verb “have’.” After all, the verb “to have” requires no action. It’s not like the verbs “to implement” or “to execute” or even “to follow” or “to respect”. All Boards in Tennessee must “have” the statutory/regulatory-requirement for average class sSize policy in duly-adopted form, but don’t “have to” actually carry it out. You have to admire the linguistic skill of legislators, caught between rising education costs and rising popular angst on the one side, shrinking class size and stagnant test scores on the other, and buffeted by the education lobby pressing for more education spending, staffing, and pro-ed staffer votes and against any such limitations as those called for in the average class size policy. The solution came to some typically language-skilful legislator when he/she proposed in committee that all sides could be kept happy and reassured with the equivocally interpretable verb “to have” used in the legislative requirement with respect to the potentially controversial policy. The domestic equivalent: I have a pressure-cooker, but I never use it. Because I don’t enjoy the genetic or learned linguistic skill of a Golden Dome legislator, it wouldn’t have occurred to me to use “have” in a way that would satisfy both those who think I should actually use one, and those who don’t. But now I know.

THE EAGLE - 7
Take time to plan your garden this season By Dr. Leaonard Perry UVM Extension Service Tempting as it is, try not to just buy and plant. To have a successful vegetable garden you need to give it some thought ahead of time. When planning your garden consider the site, varieties, where they will go, and when you'll plant. Be realistic, only plant what you can maintain with harvest you can use. It is too easy, especially in the beginning, to start too large. A successful site for most vegetables, especially fruiting ones, should get at least 6 hours of direct sun a day, either continuous, or total from morning and afternoon. If you don't have a sunny site, consider leafy crops such as lettuce and spinach that can get by on 3 to 4 hours of direct sun a day. Root crops such as carrots and potatoes need a bit more light, 4 to 6 hours a day, to have some growth. Another important site factor, and one you can work around more than light, is the soil. A rich, well-drained loam is ideal but many aren't fortunate to have this at the beginning. If it is clay or sandy, add lots of organic matter such as compost each year in the spring prior to planting. If it is clay, poorly drained, or quite rocky, you might want to consider building raised beds on top and filling with a good soil. A flat site, or as near as possible, is best. Otherwise it can be hard to work on, and rains can lead to erosion. Accessibility of the site is important in three respects. It should be close to home, otherwise "out of sight, out of mind" may apply. If you don't visit the garden daily, or frequently, you may miss pest outbreaks and fruit that is ready to pick. The site should be accessible to a source of water. The site should be accessible as well by cart or even vehicle. If you need to bring in a load of compost, soil, or mulch, or remove debris, how will you access it? How do you choose among the hundreds of varieties available, and which crops to

grow? The first consideration is what you and perhaps family like to eat. Even if a crop is trendy or popular, if you don't like it and wont eat it, why grow it? Most crops have some, often many, varieties. These are particular types or selections with certain characteristics such as fruit size or color. There are some terms you may see in variety descriptions. A hybrid is a plant resulting from the crossing of other parent plants. Since you need these parents to make seeds of the hybrid, sowing seeds of hybrids wont give you the same plants. The other main group is the open-pollinated varieties, or those that pollinate each other in the field. They may not
be as consistent, with all the traits of hybrids, but you can save seeds of these and get similar plants. If a variety is open-pollinated, and at least 50 years old, it may be called an "heirloom". When choosing varieties, look for ones adapted to your region. This may relate to ripening time, or "days to maturity", one of the key factors I look for in my northern garden. A great variety for warm climates, perhaps one you grew up with, may not ripen in time in a short northern growing season. A warm climate crop such as okra, for instance, has some varieties better suited to cooler and shorter northern seasons. A couple of cultural factors to consider in
variety selection are disease resistance and plant size. Some varieties, tomatoes being a good example, are resistant to certain diseases. These are often labeled in descriptions with letters and a key, such as TMV for tomato mosaic virus. The more letters the better! Plant size relates to your site, and where these will be planted. Assuming you have the right match of site conditions to varieties, consider the size of crops and growth habits. Tomatoes, for instance, can be more upright (determinate) or vining and sprawling (indeterminate). The latter may need more staking, or more room, or both. Then there are compact varieties suited to small spaces and containers. When sowing seeds or planting transplants, information on seed packets, labels, and books will tell you such details as seed or plant spacing in rows, and amount of space between rows. These are guidelines, as some recommend planting in blocks rather than rows. Depending on use, you may plant closer if harvesting small carrots or tops of plants for instance. The goal is to have enough space for plants to get the light and nutrients they need, without much competition, and for you to be able to weed and work among the plants. Once you lay out your plans roughly on paper, look at what plants are next to others. Where is the sun coming from? You don't want tall corn for instance shading out shorter plants. Some plants are believed by gardeners to help others, perhaps by repelling insects. This is called "companion planting" with books and articles written just on this topic. You may try nasturtiums, for instance, next to potatoes to repel Colorado potato beetles. Radishes may repel cucumber beetles, leeks may repel carrot flies, and basil may repel some insects from tomatoes. Finally consider when you will plant. Some "cool" crops (like lettuce) can be planted earlier that other "warm" crops (like tomatoes). The two key factors are first and last frost dates of the season. Since these can vary, be ready with frost protection cloth or similar coverings.

THE EAGLE - 9
Politician with a soaring passion By Sarah Brown Let’s Go Flying.com For Vermont Rep. Janice Peaslee, a single piece of plastic symbolizes the culmination of nearly a decade of work: her private pilot certificate. Peaslee earned her certificate in November 2009. She was the oldest student pilot the examiner had taken on a checkride, but she dismisses age as irrelevant—she won’t even mention the number. Peasleee practically runs up and down the stairs in the Vermont State House between committee hearings, floor votes, and other business. When the assembly is in session, she commutes 90 minutes each way to Montpelier from her home in Guildhall, near the New Hampshire border. She owns a farm that sells potatoes throughout the Northeast. And for the past year, she kept two instructors busy flying with her, sometimes three or four hours a day. “I don’t recognize my age, and nobody else needs to either,” she said. She explained later, “Just because you’re in your seventies doesn’t mean you can’t get out and do things. Age is just a number.” Peaslee began flying as a way to cope with grief after her husband died in 1999. She discovered a passion for it, and over the next nine years met the challenges of ground school, endured a 17-month hiatus for an engine overhaul, and practiced until she was sure she would far exceed the practical test standards. Now she pulls the certificate from her wallet and shows it to her colleagues in the state house, pointing out Wilbur and Orville Wright on the back. “It’s the most gorgeous thing I could ever think of,” she said, beaming. Vermont Tax Commissioner Rich Westman, who served with Peaslee in the House for 21 years before taking his current post, said a colleague was at Newport State Airport in Orleans County a while back when he saw an airplane taking off with no one in the pilot’s seat. “He said, ‘There’s nobody in that plane!’” Westman recounted. The representative then saw a puff of hair and realized—it must be Janice. Peaslee’s pilot certificate lists her at 4 feet, 10 inches, but she said she hasn’t bothered to check her height herself. When you stand up and you’re not much taller than the people sitting down, you find other ways to assert yourself, she said. Over the past year, Peaslee has kept two instructors busy flying with her in her Cessna 150. "She would fly for hours if you let her," said instructor Natalie Brunetto.Over the past year, Peaslee has kept two instructors busy flying with her in her Cessna 150. “She would fly for hours if you let her,” said instructor Natalie Brunetto. Of her 22 years in the legislature, Peaslee has spent 21 in the transportation committee.
Peaslee’s tireless devotion to transportation issues has had tangible results. Peaslee called everyone she could think of for 15 years to reconnect Vermont and New Hampshire by rebuilding a bridge, and the states finally worked together to cross the Connecticut River with a new bridge. They named it the Janice Peaslee Bridge in honor of her efforts. And just this month, Peaslee reported a bill that will allow heavy trucks to use the state’s interstate highway system. It was the highlight of her month, she said. She is a fierce defender of the transportation budget, and Westman, who was formerly the chair of the committee, said she understands the importance of small airports in a way that many lawmakers do not. “None of us dared to touch the aviation budget” with Peaslee defending it, he said. Peaslee is scrappy, he added.
Discovering a passion Before 2000, Peaslee’s only experience in airplanes was taking commercial flights while traveling with her husband, Bert. It was an experience the two enjoyed sharing, whether they were on a trip to Cancun or doing business in Denver. Bert introduced Janice to the world of Vermont politics by getting her involved in his own political positions. He taught her about agriculture at the family farm, Peaslee’s Vermont Potatoes. After many years together, his death in 1999 hit her hard. Janice looked for a way to cope with the grief, and in 2000 she decided to look into learning to fly. It was an undertaking that would honor the activity she had enjoyed with her husband but be different from it. It would help her move forward and still cherish the memory of her husband. At around that time, flight instructor Steve Kelly ran a story in the local newspaper about a ground school he was starting at the Caledonia airport, about 45 minutes from Peaslee’s home. Peaslee spoke with Kelly and others at the airport and went for her first general aviation flight in a Cessna 172. Peaslee could hardly see out of the cockpit. She wasn’t sure if she would enjoy flying, so she was unprepared for the thrill she experienced sitting in the left seat for the first time. Remembering that first flight, she mimed advancing the throttle and described the feeling of liftoff. By the time the airplane touched down, she was hooked. “You look forward to every flight, and when you get back the first thing you do is check the weather” for the next flight, she said. Flying after that was not just a hobby; it was a passion. “There’s nothing in the last 10 years that’s delighted her any more than flying,” Westman said. “… A lot of us worried about her (after her husband died), but no worry any more.”
ports. She came to aviation with experience as a mother and a politician; she had taken none of the college courses that would lay the foundation for learning principles of aerodynamics, weather, or geometry. Undaunted, she started ground school in 2001 and advanced chapter by chapter through the unfamiliar topics in the FAA handbooks. She took the same approach to flying. She started training with Kelly with no concern about the hours she would log before she achieved a certificate. She didn’t just want to meet the standards; she wanted to exceed them. “Number of hours or length of time isn’t as important as meeting the challenge, sticking with it,” she said. Kelly, Peaslee, and others formed a flying club to buy and train in a Cessna 150. Peaslee gradually bought others’ shares in the airplane until she owned it, and when Kelly began instructing in Nashua, N.H., two hours away, she took the airplane there to continue her training with him. When he moved away for a medical helicopter job, she continued training with other instructors: one for the weekends and another during the week. Even if the weather was marginal, Peaslee drove the two hours to Nashua to see if she could fly. If the weather didn’t pan out, she simply drove back home. When she did get to fly, she relished every minute of it. Natalie Brunetto, who instructed Peaslee on weekends and evenings, said Peaslee would sometimes fly three or four hours a day and never seemed to tire. “She would fly for hours if you let her,” she said.
Triumph After she had become proficient in most of the tasks she would need on her practical test, Peaslee still struggled with consistently identifying landmarks for navigation. She would sometimes fail to see the whole picture or be too quick to think she was lost, her instructors said. They decided to wean her slowly from relying on instructors’ help with navigation. “All of a sudden something just clicked,” said Trevor Smith, who instructed Peaslee on

weekdays. She went out for a solo one day and had everything figured out. And when Smith accompanied her on a cross-country to Sanford, Maine, she flew a textbook flight. In two weeks, she had navigation down pat, Smith said. By the time she went for her checkride, Peaslee was almost overprepared. Smith was at the flight school when Peaslee returned from her checkride. “I saw her come in with a big grin on her face and thought it must have gone well.”
Family With 150 representatives and 30 senators, the Vermont legislature is small enough to feel like an extended family. Their political views may vary, but legislators are there for one another in times of tragedy and triumph. “Politics gets out of the way then,” Peaslee said. Her fellow legislators comforted her when her husband died, and they have shared in her excitement over achieving her pilot certificate. She’s offered rides to colleagues in the legislature, with one stipulation: She never flies without full fuel. That means her heavier colleagues may have an incentive to meet their New Year’s resolutions, or else wait until she flies a larger plane.

College students race Panthers season ends in OT loss to Cardinals toward Relay goal By Fred Pockette
newmarketpress@denpubs.com
MIDDLEBURY—”Cancer affects everyone. I have lost too many friends and family members to the disease, and Relay for Life provides a tangible way to raise money to fight back,” said Middlebury Relay for Life co-chairperson Mia Lieb-Lappen, Middlebury College Class of 2010. Lieb-Lappen’s answer to “Why do you Relay?” stems from the Relay slogan “Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back.” This year, Lieb-Lappen and fellow co-chair Sarah Bryan ’10 invite Middlebury students and community members to do just that on Friday, April 23. This year’s theme is board games, with the slogan, “Don’t let cancer pass Go.” Bryan and Lieb-Lappen said that past participants can expect the same fun activities at the event and encouraged those new to Relay to join a team and start fundraising. Staples of past Relays to expect again this year include rows of team campsites, performances by student and community groups, the Luminaria ceremony, guest speakers and, of course, lots of walking laps. This year, Middlebury College Assistant Professor of Biology Jeremy Ward will deliver a keynote address about cancer research, and Bryan and Lieb-Lappen revealed that attendees can expect to hear from another guest speaker, as well. Bryan also added that a new addition to this year’s Relay is a method for counting laps in which walkers will receive one bead for every lap completed to string together as a symbol in representation of the team’s total distance walked. “Cancer never sleeps. So, why should we?” Bryan shared as the tagline the Relay for Life committee uses. Bryan explained that Relay for Life is much more than one night of walking circles around a tent city, and encouraged Relay for Life participants to recognize that because cancer is constantly claiming lives, they should be fundraising continuously. “Cancer is not going to stop because we had an economic crisis,” Bryan stated. “I Relay because cancer touches so many lives, and not only the people with the disease — their friends and family, too,” Bryan concluded. “Cancer knows no boundaries, but it’s a solvable problem. Relay is a chance to raise money that goes toward research to prevent the disease from claiming more lives.” “Now, more than ever, people need the help,” Lieb-Lappen added. Last year, Middlebury Relay’s 90 teams, made up of 980 participants from the college and community, raised $114,800. This year, they hope to have 1,000 participants and raise $130,000. It is important to note that the college is just $50,000 from the $1 million mark for dollars raised. This year’s fundraising is particularly important because it marks a milestone for Middlebury. The Middlebury chapter of Relay was founded seven years ago by Mia’s older brother, Ross Lieb-Lappen ’07, and Meg Young ’07. Lieb-Lappen and Bryan hope to host a party to celebrate this achievement. The main goal for this year’s Relay, aside from raising as much money as possible for cancer research, Bryan explained, is to attract more community involvement. “There can be such a disconnect between the college and the community,” she said. “This is a great way to work with our neighbors towards a common goal.” Another joint effort between the college and the community to fundraise is called Relay Week and will occur April 2-8. During these five days, various businesses in town will donate a percent of proceeds to Middlebury Relay for Life. Lieb-Lappen reminds students that Relay
MIDDLEBURY—The Middlebury Panthers men’s hockey team quest for a National Championship came to an end last Saturday in Middlebury. The Panthers battled back from a 2-0 defecit, fell in overtime 3-2 to the Plattsburgh Cardinals 3-2 in quarterfinal action. Plattsburg took a 2-0 lead on goals from Kyle Kudroch and Dylan Clarke. Clarke’s unassisted goal came just over halfway through the second period. The Panthers got one of those back before the end of the second when Ken Suchoski, assisted by Charlie Strauss, scored in 5 on 5 play with just under four minutes left in the second, Then with seven minutes left in the game the Panthers capitalized on a power play opportunity. Charlie Townsend fed Jak Knelman, who blasted the puck past Cardinal goalie Josh Leis, tying the game at 2-2, and that is how regulation ended. Plattsburgh didn’t require much of the sudden death time to end Middlebury’s season. Just 3:19 into the first sudden death period Kyle Taylor fed Jared Docking, who then pushed the game winner past Panther goalie John Yanchek giving the visiting Cardinals the 3-2 win, and a spot in the D-III Frozen Four this weekend. Leis had 21 saves for Plattsburgh who enter this weekends semifinals with a 19-5-4 record. Yanchek made 27 saves for the Panthers, who end their season with the exact same 19-5-4 record.
Cats Are Going to the Big Dance It is an exciting season for residents of the Green Mountain State when either the men’s or women’s basketball team from UVM win the America East Championship, and earn a berth in the Division I NCAA Championship tournament. The 2009 / 2010 basketball season was given extra special status last weejend when both Catamount squads captured the America East Championship, and both are headed for the big dance. Go Cats! Marqus Blakely recorded a double-double of 24 points and 18 rebounds to lead University of Vermont to an 83-70 win over Boston University to claim its fourth America East Men's Basketball Championship last Saturday at Patrick Gym in Burlington, Vermont. Vermont built up an 42-31 lead at the half, and then survived a second half scare provided by the fourth seeded Boston College Eagles in the second half. Trailing 50-38 early in the second half the Eagles put together a 15-4 run, and with 10:20 left in the game Boston College had cut the Cats lead to 54-53, but they would never take the lead. UVM put together a 7-0 run to lead 61-53 lead, with 5:48 left. The Eagles wouldn’t get that close again. Boston College’s Corey Lowe led all scorers with 24 points, while Jake O’Brien contributed another 17 in a losing effort. The fourth seeded Eagles, who finished the year at 19-13, also received 11 points from Carlos Strong. Blakely, Vermont’s leading scorer in the title game, who averaged 16.7 points and 11.7 rebounds for the tournament was named the Reggie Lewis Most Outstanding Player. The Catamounts also got double-digit scoring from Nick Vier and Maurice Joseph who knocked down 15 and 13 points respectively. The Conference Championship was the fourth in the past eight seasons. They enter the NCAA tournament with a club record 25 wins (25-8) and they were given the number 16 seed in their regional. They will face the top seeded Syracuse Orangemen this Friday night at 9:30 in the opening round. The
game will be televised in CBS, Meanwhile also last Saturday the preseason favorite lady Catamounts were busy making those early season predictions a reality by defeating the top seeded Hartford Hawks 55-50 in the Conference Championship. It was UVM’s second consecutive Conference Championship. Hartford, who were ranked 21 in the country, and entered last Sunday’s Conference Championship on a 20 game winning streak, was forced to play without their senior big girl Erica Beverly. Beverly had suffered a season-ending tear to the ACL in her right knee in a semifinal win over Stony Brook. Her absence allowed the Catamounts to control the inside game, and they capitalized on that in the opening half and held a commanding 3517 halftime lead. But the Hawks were far from cooked. Trailing 47-31 late in the second half Hartford put together a 15-4 run to cut Vermint’s lead to 51-46 with 4:40 left in the game. But the Cats wouldn’t allow Hartford to get any closer than four points the rest of the way, hanging on to claim the 55-50 win. Hartford was paced by Diana Delva with 18 points. Delva was the Haws lone representative on the All-Tournament team. Hartford winds up their season with a 27-4 record. UVM was led by Courtnay Pilypaitis with 20 points. The senior center was named to the All-Tournament team, and chosen as the tournaments Most Outstanding Player. Alissa Sheftic, who joined Pilypaitis on the All-Tournament team, added 10 points and eight rebounds to the huge win. UVM will enter the NCAA record with a 26-6 record. As of this printing they had not yet been seeded for the National tournament.

A problem with S.252
F
or 140 years, Vermont has enjoyed a unique and successful history with school choice. Residents of some ninety “tuitioning towns” in Vermont now have the right (to varying degrees) to use state education money to send their children to the public or approved independent school of their choice. The availability of school choice has formed the foundation for some of Vermont’s most celebrated educational institutions, such as St. Johnsbury Academy, Lyndon Institute, and Burr & Burton. It is also a fact that many of Vermont’s independent schools achieve above average results for a fraction of the cost of their public school counterparts, thus benefiting taxpayers as well as the children. Currently, the Vermont legislature is considering several bills and proposals regarding the issue of school district consolidation, which could potentially eliminate, in whole or in part, Vermont’s existing school choice opportunities. Among these is S.252, which specifically proposes to consolidate Vermont's 290 school districts into 16. S.252 does not address what happens to towns that currently enjoy school choice, nor does it address the potential for expanding school choice. This is the problem. In the worst case scenario, the consolidation of districts would create a situation in which no district lacked a public school, and therefore no tuitioning to Independent schools would be necessary or allowed. Another scenario would allow Independent schools to continue to compete for students and public dollars, but only within the confines of new (as of now, undetermined) district lines and rules. What this does to the viability of individual Independent schools will depend upon how the final legislation is written. The best solution is reform that allows for full, statewide school choice in which the money follows the child allows Vermont’s Independent schools to participate (see H.705 and H.643). While this would certainly benefit children, families and Independent schools, it faces stiff opposition from the public education establishment. These interests will no doubt be represented in force at the Feb. 24 hearing. In order to protect and preserve Vermonters’ historic access to school choice opportunities, an active, statewide coalition of citizens is necessary to shape the education reform legislation that is working its way through Montpelier. EdWatch Vermont is helping in this effort by identifying and educating members of this coalition... Together we can save Vermont’s 140-year-old tradition of school choice, and expand it for the benefit of all Vermont students. Rob Roper Grassroots Coordinator EdWatch Vermont
