BRISTOL – On March 11, at 5:43 p.m., Carroll Maxwell, 50, of Monkton called 911, via her cellular telephone, to report that she was hiking with a 13-year-old companion; the pair were stuck on the cliffs at an unknown location in Bristol. Carroll told the operator that they were not prepared to spend the night on the cliffs and were not on a trail. Bristol Fire and the Middlebury Technical Rescue Team were notified as well and responded. Troopers located Carroll’s vehicle on the Lower Notch Road and the area they were climbing. Responding agencies included Middlebury Technical Rescue, Middlebury Fire Dept, Bristol Fire, Vermont State Game Wardens, Bristol Police, Vergennes Police, Stowe Technical Rescue, and the Vermont State Police. Both hikers were removed from the cliffs by Middlebury Technical Rescue with the assistance of responding agencies. All parties made it safely out of the woods with no injuries.
Milk tanker hits sign, pole ADDISON – Police investigated the collision of milker tanker on Vermont Route 17 in Addison March 1. While traveling eastbound, Kyle J. Adams, 27, of St. Albans lost control of the rig and traveled off the south side of the roadway. Adams subsequently collided with a curve warning sign and an electrical pole. There were no injuries. Road and weather conditions included snow. Vermont DMV commercial motor vehicle inspectors responded to the scene to inspect the site. Neither speed or impairment were contributing factors in the collision.

Dalai Lama to visit Middlebury Dalai Lama to give lectures, Oct. 12-13 MIDDLEBURY Do spiritual and religious traditions offer guidance that inspires action? His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, 77, the spiritual leader of Tibet and winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, will explore this thought-provoking subject when he visits Middlebury College to deliver two lectures one to the campus community and another to the public on Oct. 12-13. Middlebury faculty, staff, students and ID holders may attend his talk, “Educating the Heart,” at 1:45 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12. His lecture at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, “Finding Common Ground: Ethics for a Whole World,” will be open to the public. Tickets for both events, which will take place in Nelson Arena, will be available through the Middlebury College Box Office. The theme of his visit, “Cultivating Hope, Wisdom, and Compassion,” encompasses both of his lectures. According to Middlebury College President Ron Liebowitz, the purpose of the talks is to help people explore resources for hope, optimism and cooperation, while challenging them to lead lives of courage and engagement. “We are deeply honored that the Dalai Lama, a man of peace who embodies these See DALAI LAMA, page 13

Videomaker finds voter fraud potential in Vermont By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — A conservative Internet journalist and videographer has recorded evidence of voter fraud in Vermont. James O’Keefe, who

founded Project Veritas, released a new video that was made during recent Town Meeting Day voting. The Internet video, according to the Big Government.com website, shows how easy it is to commit voter fraud in the Green Mountain State. O’Keefe’s video, a follow-on to another New England-based documentary, titled “Primary of the Living Dead”, shows an undercover Veritas reporter entering several voting places around Vermont last week. In each case, the undercover reporter presents a different name to each polling station official. He is handed a ballot without having to show voter I.D. The practice opens the Vermont voting process to widespread fraud, according to the video. In the video, the agent repeatedly requests, but does not take, a Republican primary ballot. “We wanted to remind viewers this is not a partisan issue. This is a situation wherein anyone–Republican or Democrat–can exploit the system,” O’Keefe said in a Big Government.com news report. O’Keefe’s earlier video resulted in a new law requiring voter I.D. in New Hampshire State Senate. While most New Hampshire voterss applaud the law, the American Civil Liberties Union in New Hampshire said the law was “discriminatory against Latinos, African-Americans, elderly citizens, and others.” “States like Vermont and New Hampshire have to take dead people off voter registration forms and clean up their act, once and for all,” according to O’Keefe’s video.

the budget that causes the negativity and the gridlock.”

“Failure to extend the Production Tax Credit now is a lost opportunity,” she said. “It’s a lost opportunity to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, employ people, and own the technology.” So how easy a time will Welch and his fellow Democrats have with the four-step plan in the GOP-run Congress? Welch appeared optimistic. He noted that not all Republicans oppose the PTC and 1603 efforts. “Representatives David McKinley (R) of West Virginia and Charles Bass (R) of New

HINESBURG — The Hinesburg headquarters of NRG Systems was the setting for a news conference held by Vermont U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D) March 15. Welch used the factory floor at NRG, an international manufacturer of wind power measurement equipment, as a backdrop to discuss the largely Democrat-backed plan to cut America’s reliance on oil by focusing more on “green” taxpayer subsidies as well as tax credits. Welch was joined by Jan Blittersdorf, NRG CEO, Martha Staskus, chairwoman of the Board for Renewable Energy Vermont and Sanjeev Choudhary, vice president of Draker Labs in Burlington. Each executive took a turn at the podium. Blittersdorf, Staskus, and Choudhary said the alternative energy industry is on a rollercoaster ride when it comes to the ups and downs of consistent Congressional support, especially when it comes to providing tax breaks and taxpayer-financed subsidies. “Events half a world away are hammering hardworking Vermonters and threatening a fragile economic recovery,” Welch was quoted before the conference. “The best way to break the cycle of surging oil prices is to chart a green energy future built on renewable energy and investments in energy efficiency.” During his remarks at NRG, Welch proposed a four-step effort that he believes will benefit Vermont’s “green” energy industries and improve the local employment picture plus boost the nation’s quest for energy independence. Welch’s four-step plan is as follows: •Extend the Production Tax Credit (PTC). According to Welch, “the PTC provides a tax incentive to companies that generate wind, geothermal and other types of renewable energy. The credit expires this year. Thanks to the PTC, Vermont was the second fastest growing state for wind installations in 2011, growing over 650 percent.” •Reauthorize the 1603 grant program. Created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, “1603 provides grant funding to renewable energy companies. The program expired at the end of 2011. Vermont has received $46.8 million under the 1603 program,” according to Welch. “EERE provides funds to weatherize homes, reduce energy consumption of manufactured goods, improve fuel efficiency in cars and invest in renewable technologies,” according to Welch. The congressman is supporting President Obama’s EERE funding level of $2.3 billion. •Invest in energy efficiency. Welch also said he is pushing his own bipartisan Home Owner Managing Energy Savings (HOMES) Act. “It will provide rebates to homeowners who invest in energy efficiency improvements,” the congressman said. NRG Systems CEO Jan Blittersdorf, who joined Welch for the announcement, said she supports his efforts on behalf of Vermont’s burgeoning alternative energy industry.

Work’s the thing
It’s mud season in Vermont T Y
ou won't find it marked as a special holiday and we're sure ancient Babylonian stargazers, and even St. Gregory, didn't consider it for inclusion on their various stone and parchment calendars, but in Vermont, mud season madness is the time of year that falls betwixt and between winter and summer and then-maybe-at a few other times of the year, too. In the North Country, the term “mud season” is easy to figure out; rural dirt roads, including driveways and hiking trails, become like trenches in the Battle of the Marne as they turn muddy from rain and fast-melting snow. The most recent documented example of
mud season in central Vermont is a photograph taken by Alice Dubenetsky of Starksboro. Dubenetsky came across an abandoned car along muddy Robert Young Road in South Starksboro March 9. Apparently the driver gave up and abandoned the car to seek a tow truck. “Good luck,” Dubenetsky must have said to herself as she sped off in 4WD-low. In Vermont, mud season is both a curse and an encouraging sign; sure it's a big mess but it's a sure sign that summer tourists are just around the corner. Cha-ching. Lou Varricchio

Guest Viewpoint Congrats, Vt. Rail System Vermont Rail System won the prestigious "Shortline of the Year" award from Railway Age Magazine, a 150year-old industry publication. The award recognizes the railroad's quick recovery from Irene and its contribution with the New England Central Railroad to helping the state's road network recover, and for work upgrading the route of Amtrak's Ethan Allen which has taken the railroad to first place in host railroad on-time performance. According to Railway Age, “Vermont Railway also stands as testament to the idea of shared, proactive community involvement, in good times and in difficult moments.” This industry recognition is a big deal. When New England Central Railroad won the award a few years back, they wrote it on the side of a locomotive. In October, Vermont Rail Action Network awarded its U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords award to Vermont Rail System President Dave Wulfson in a similar recognition. Irene devastated the Vermont Rail Network with close to 150 washouts, six compromised bridges and nearly 35 miles of track that had been destroyed. It took just three weeks for the state's rail network (excepting one bridge) to reopen, thanks to round the clock work and the assistance of many contractors, notably R.J. Corman and Engineers Construction.
he Hyde Park Opera House is 100 years old. The Lamoille County Players, the opera house house band so to speak, are producing special shows during the year to celebrate, and they asked me to kick off the series with two Logger shows. Why me? ‘Cause I started out at the HP Opera House. Well, my first play was in the Handy’s barn on West Hill in Stowe. I played a raccoon in Peter Pan. And of course I did my high school’s musicals, directed by a great guy, Matthew Pykos. But to say I started out at the Opera House wouldn’t be a stretch. The opera house is a classic small town Vermont theater. There are lots of them throughout the state and I’ve played dang near every one of them. They’re all great. The H.P. Opera House has benefited from a motivated and very organized Lamoille County Players, whose work has brought the shell, interior, and inner pipes and electrics, up to miles above par. The house stands a very young 100. As a teen player, the H.P. Opera House acted as a first rate theater school. Each rehearsal was like an acting class. But instead of being held in some university classroom, the classes were taken in the opera house, in a town, that are both straight from central casting listed under New England Private school. Director Steve Hall (a woman), producer Ida Mae Anderson and accompanist Anita Raymond were the teachers. Those three talented ladies taught me plenty about doing plays. Most of all what they taught me, without them knowing it, is that the ‘work’s the thing’. Didn’t Shakespeare say “The play’s the thing?” I think so. Well yeah, it is, but the work comes before the play. So I’d rather change Bill’s line to the work’s the thing. You do the work, you serve the play, then, just maybe, you might have fun. Fun is extra and is not necessary to produce good work. ‘Course, that’s just my opinion. I hooked into another director in my mid 20s who became a mentor to me, Robert R. Ringer, and he was all over the, the work’s the
Before the storm even hit, the Vermont Rail System had reserved every dump truck it could from Barrett Trucking. When the rains stopped roads were impassible and 15 miles of track were still underwater. Vermont Rail system had to hire a helicopter to assess the damage. Crews worked around the clock. Reconstruction work was helped by the commitment of the Agency of Transportation and the state's political leaders. The usual procedures were streamlined and the state dedicated an on-site engineer, Mladen Gagulic, for immediate decisions who was praised by the railroad. Vermont Rail System was recognized by shippers for it's outstanding communication and efforts during the disruption caused by Irene to reroute freight around damaged sections. "They are obviously a vital service provider and a big reason for Omya's success," said Erik Bohn, director of logistics for Omya. Their transportation services are exemplary and we depend on them heavily. Their response to Irene showed their ability to maintain a high level of service in challenging conditions." Irene interrupted ongoing track work between Whitehall and Rutland on the route of the Ethan Allen. The railroad spent $750,000 to take 18 minutes out of the running time. As a result on-time performance has turned around allowing the railroad to claim first place for lowest delays caused to Amtrak. Ridership on the train has responded with a recent
thing, thing. He solidified what I assumed from the ladies at LCP. But of course, lots of folks do community theater solely to have fun. Not me. I wanted to do right by the ladies, and to pull that off I needed to work hard, practicing hours in my folks basement, the grey frost covered cider block wall acting as the audience. Thirty-six years later, I’m doing the same thing. Tonight at 9 o’clock, for a least an hour, I’ll be in my garage practicing my lines, learning new material, staring not two feet away from an overhead garage door. I’d say playing at the opera house as a youngster taught me about human connection, more intense connection than every day connection. Being in the community theatre shows allowed for the creation of an expanding core of relationships. Knowing folks outside of your town, and knowing them well was healthy. And you knew them because of theater, where you did something worthwhile together: You created something, and you shared what you created with a whole other large group of folks you only saw outlines of through the blinding glare of the theatre lights. And you heard them connecting back to you through applause, and laughter. Being young and recognized from the stage, or from being in the paper, gave you star power, yet another kind of connection, perhaps even more intense. Folks in town would say “Well, I saw you on stage in the show, you were fantastic.” And really, you weren’t, but being on stage gave them the reason to connect with you. Connection, star power, speaking up, work, things I learned at the Hyde Park Opera House, a few handfuls of years ago.

growth spurt. Once the railroads were put back together they used equipment they had used fixing their own lines to haul 130,000 tons of rock over ten weeks for rebuilding the highway network. We are thrilled that the honor this year went to one of our railroads in Vermont. We've been watching the progress this year and are pleased and grateful for the commitment the railroad has shown in its own operations and the future of the railroad in Vermont. Vermont Rail System has long been known for excellent customer service and that commitment to dependable delivery combined with a 'Get it Done' spirit brought results. "We're very proud to have been involved," said Kirk Kreisher of R.J. Corman who commented on how nice people were, both from Vermont Rail System and Vermonters in general. Folks in the houses nearby would bring out a snack for the guys working on the track or some water.” Additional contractors who helped the railroad were: Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., Barrett Trucking Co., Lane Construction, Jacobs Engineering Group, Kubricky Construction Corp., Renold Construction, and Shelburne Limestone, Luzenac America. There are more than 475 shortline railroads in America. Besides a place on the Monopoly board, shortlines are smaller connecting railroads that feed traffic to and from the national rail network.

Vergennes man is SBA small business winner Middlebury students place first, second in Vermont Spelling Bee By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Union Middle School students nabbed both first and second place in the 2012 Vermont Spelling Bee title. The event took place at St. Michael’s College in Colchester. Ronan Howlett, 13, of Cornwall, correctly spelled the word “qualitative”–a late Latin derived word meaning pertaining to or concerned with quality or qualities–to win the title. Howlett will move on to the national spelling bee to be held in Washington, D.C., two months from now. According to various news reports, Howlett is an avid reader and enjoys the fantasy works of the late J.R.R. Tolkien. He does not have television or Internet access at his family’s rural Cornwall home. The teen said “qualitative” was one challenging word he was comfortable spelling. The no. 2 spelling contestant behind Howlett was another MUMS student, Meigan Clark. Over 30 teen competitors took part in the Vermont championship on the St. Michael’s campus: MUMS educator Amy Pyfrom coached both top spelling bee contestants.

Guest Commentary
Those school choice devils An evil plot is afoot to pressure the states to adopt “school choice schemes”, according to onetime Rutland Northeast Superintendent Dr. William J. Mathis. He is currently a Shumlin appointee to the Vermont State Board of Education and Managing Director of the grandly-named “National Education Policy Center” at the University of Colorado. According to Mathis’s article “School Choice: What the Research Shows”, the centerpiece of the plot is the Obama administration’s pressure on states to create charter schools. Vermont is one of 13 states that do not authorize public charter schools, thanks to the surprisingly determined opposition of Gov. Howard Dean and, naturally, the Vermont-NEA teachers’ union. The idea is not popular with the public school establishment either, since allowing parents to choose charter schools for their children threatens an exodus from poorly-performing traditional schools that their management may find it hard to explain when asking taxpayers for more money. It’s not just the Obama administration, either. Mathis states that “Vested interest think tanks, heavily supported by the deep-pockets of the Gates, Broad, and Friedman foundations” are also “major pushers” (as if parental choice is some kind of narcotic.) One has to wonder how think tanks can become “vested interests”, when none of them can receive any financial benefit from increased parental choice. The real vested interests in education are people whose livelihood depends on the government continuing to deliver students and money, for instance, Rutland Northeast Superintendents. In any case, Mathis has well earned the dubious accolade of being Vermont’s most persistent and extravagant opponent of giving parents more educational choices for their children. His opposition flows from a deeply-held ideology derived from the well-known socialist of the 1920s, John Dewey: “the purpose of education is a democratic
society.” For Mathis, that translates into a government-operated monopoly school system, managed by far-seeing and certified experts, into whose unionized schools parents are required to consign their children, and for which taxpayers are required to pay whatever is deemed necessary. Without this common education requirement, Mathis believes, parents will too often make illinformed educational choices that appear to them better for their children, with no concern for the democratic ideal. And that’s not democratic! In his commentary Mathis declares that “the legitimate peer reviewed research shows that in general there isn’t any difference in test scores” between students in traditional public schools and choice programs. This is true only if one accepts Mathis’s condition that “socalled ‘research’ by groups advancing or opposing choice” are disqualified. Last year Dr. Greg Forster (PhD Yale) published a report summarizing all ten empirical studies that used random assignment, the gold standard of social science, to examine how vouchers affect participants. Nine studies found that vouchers improve student outcomes, six that all students benefit, and three that some benefit and some are not affected. One study found no visible impact. None of these studies found a negative impact. Forster also found, from surveying all of 19 additional studies, that vouchers improve outcomes for both participants and students in “voucher threatened” public schools, which were forced to improve to prevent an outflow of students to competing schools. The Forster report was published by the Foundation for Educational Choice, and the author clearly is enthusiastic
about parental choice. For Mathis, that disqualifies his findings. But Forster examined all of the published studies on these subjects. If Mathis can disqualify them all for reaching pro-choice conclusions, there aren’t any studies left. There was a time, in the last century, when the dominant opinion was: let every kid go to public school, let local school boards manage them to produce self-sufficient young citizens, fend off know-it-allmandates from experts in the state capitol, and spend what local taxpayers could reasonably afford. What has changed? The progressive centralization of control over public schools. The rise of combative, politically powerful teachers unions. Content-challenged teachers. Lower academic standards. Foolish, trendy curricula. The replacement of anything resembling the community’s moral values with behavior modification and political correctness. Deteriorating discipline and safety. Many Vermont public schools still perform well in spite of these changed conditions. Many educated Vermont public school teachers give full value. But taken all in all, mandating that every student attend the government’s school of choice for the benefit of the school will no longer work to the benefit of many students, or of society. As no less than President Obama said, about health insurance, “My guiding principle is, and always has been, that consumers do better when there is choice and competition.” That’s equally true in education, and we need to get on with empowering those consumers. John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute.

FREE REFILLS – It was a busy morning for Middlebury-area firefighters March 16, according to Middlebury Fire Chief Rick Cole. A large garage fire on Shard Villa Road, located near the West Salisbury Road, involved mutual-aid crews from Salisbury, Middlebury, Cornwall, Whiting and Ripton. No injuries were reported. Water tankers from several departments used the Middlebury River intake-hydrant on Three Mile Bridge Road to refill during the fire.

The select board will hold a retreat/strategy session later in the month: The purpose of the retreat is to set and prioritize goals for 2012 and review board process and proce-
dures. Liquor License, Tobacco License and Entertainment Permit Approvals: Acting as the Board of Local Control Commissioners, the Board approved applications liquor licenses, pending required inspections by the fire and policechiefs.

River Management Program, Mike Kline, indicated strong support for the town's approach to long term management of the Middlebury River,and the status of the work plan (overall the project is on budget). Middlebury River Public Information Meeting in East Middlebury at the United Methodist Church on Thursday, March 22, at 7 p.m. The agenda will include river management planning, a report on the work of the task force and funding for projects, an update on the Planning Commission's consideration of Fluvial Erosion Hazard regulations, and the distribution of the public information and response-to-flooding piece currently in development by the town manager. With the successful bond vote, requests for bids have been sent to local and regional bidders so that bids will be in hand by the end of the 30 bond vote appeal period. Since the last report from the Public Works Committee, a bid alternate for the work to be done on Seymour Street to lessen the potential affect of the proposed road work on onstreet parking has been developed. State building and water/wastewater permit applications, which take up to 45 days to process, will be submitted the week of March 12. If all goes well and weather allows, the plan is to break ground on the project in mid to late April. Butternut Ridge Road Project Bid Award: The board awarded the bid for the Butternut Ridge Road water and road improvement project to Champlain Construction, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with
a bid of $977,664.90. Ten bids were received on the project, ranging from $997,664.90 (Champlain's low bid) to $1,278,209.91. A contract for signal Improvements at intersection of Cross and Court streets was approved. Director of Operations Dan Werner reported that the signals at this intersection have not yet functioned as designed due to a damaged underground loop detector for the signals. The proposed improvement project calls for the installation of a microwave vehicle detector to control the four-way traffic signal at the intersection. The cost of the project, which would be completed by Signals RYG no later than May 31, is $22,674. Funding for the project would come from the Cross Street Bridge Fund. Budget Status Report through January: Overall, expenses and revenues received to date appear to be on target seven months or 58 percent of the way through the fiscal year. Business Development Fund: The Business Development Fund Working Group will hold its final meeting on Thursday, March 15, at 2:30 p.m., in the small conference room in the Municipal Building. At the meeting, the group will develop recommendations to the select board on the next steps and timeline for the initiative. The board will appoint a five-member advisory board to continue the business development effort. Reminder: The deadline for dog license renewals is April 1. Note: These highlights are prepared by Kathleen Ramsay, assistant town manager, and published in the Eagle as a public service.

Lake Monsters to stay at UVM’s Centennial Field BURLINGTON — The University of Vermont and the Oakland A’s Vermont Lake Monsters minor leage baseball team announced Macrh 14 that they have reached an agreement on a 20-year lease for the use of Centennial Field for minor league baseball in Burlington. Under the terms of the lease, the Lake Monsters will pay UVM $1 per year for the use of the facility. Under the prior arrangement, the yearly fee for the lease, which had to be renewed annually, was approximately $40,000. The significance of the new lease is two-fold: it essentially eliminates an annual expense for the team and removes the year-to-year uncertainty that was an obstacle to major investment in the facility by the Lake Monsters and outside entities. "This is a win-win-win deal," said John Bramley, interim president at UVM. "It keeps the Lake Monsters here for the foreseeable future and allows them to invest in facilities and field improvements to solidify their position with the league and the fan base. It allows UVM to contribute to the benefit of the community by continuing the use of historic Centennial Field, rather than having it sit idle. And, importantly, it preserves a treasured summertime activity, minor league baseball, for the enjoyment of families throughout the local community and the State of Vermont." "The Vermont Lake Monsters are very appreciative of the university's commitment to a long-term lease," said team owner Ray Pecor. "We are excited about being able to continue to bring Lake Monsters baseball to our fanbase and explore all of the opportunities that exist in renovating our beautiful ballpark." "Minor league baseball has been in Burlington for more than a quarter century, with historic Centennial Field as the perfect setting," said outgoing Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss. "Professional baseball brings excitement, economic vitality and a sense of community to Burlington and beyond. I especially appreciate the commitment of UVM, Ray Pecor and the Lake Monsters organization in ensuring we’ll enjoy baseball here for many years to come." The Lake Monsters are a Single A team affiliated with the Oakland Athletics that plays in the New York-Penn League. An independent study conducted in 2010 concluded that Centennial Field will require $3.3 million to cover immediate needs and $9.2 million to bring it to the standards required by Minor League Baseball. Centennial Field was completed in 1904 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of UVM's first commencement ceremony.

Couple in Cornwall crash CORNWAL — On March 8, at approximately 1:51 p.m., troopers from Vermont State Police-New Haven responded to a one vehicle accident on Route 30 north of Cider Mill Road in Cornwall. Troopers at the scene said the front-seat passenger, Ann B. Rose, 75, of Middlebury, had been extracted from the vehicle and taken to Porter Hospital.
The driver, Frank. S. Rose, 76, of Middlebury, was still trapped in the vehicle. Middlebury Heavy Rescue, Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance, and Corwall Fire and Rescue worked to extricate the operator and keep the scene safe. The operator was freed from the vehicle and transported to Porter Hospital. Investigation of the scene revealed that the Roses were traveling northbound on towards Cornwall. After they passed the Cider Mill Road intersection, the vehicle left the east side of the roadway and traveled more than 300 feet, rotated 90 degrees clockwise, and hit a tree. The vehicle came to uncontrolled rest facing south. It is unknown if speed was a factor. Both occupants were wearing a seatbelt. The investigation is ongoing. The Roses were later transported to Fletcher Allen. If there are any witnesses to this crash, contact Trooper Cathy Cappetta at the Vermont State Police-New Haven Barracks 388-4919.

Guest Viewpoint Home equity use no longer home equity abuse
AWARD WINNER – Alison Moncrief Bromage of the Vermont Adult Learning program in Addison County is the first Rowland Fellowship recipient from a non-profit organization in our area. She will use her fellowship award to build community connections and design internship and apprenticeship educational opportunities for high school students in Addison County.
Record numbers of refinancing homeowners have stopped using their home equity as an ATM machine for withdrawals and instead are making more deposits. In the last quarter of 2011, a record 85 percent of homeowners who refinanced their first mortgage maintained the loan amount or lowered their principal balance by adding cash to the deal at closing, a 26-year high, according to what is now dubiously called Freddie Mac's Cash-Out Refinance Analyses. It's a trend that reflects faith in the value of the home as an investment. When home values rebound, those who've maintained or improved their home value will be ahead of the game and enjoy exponential returns on home equity growth. Perhaps more aptly dubbed a cash-in refinancing study, Freddie Mac's report found a whopping 49 percent of refinancing

homeowners actually reduced their principal balance, while 37 percent retained the same loan amount. In addition to the long term benefits, many of those homeowners are enjoying some immediate financial breathing room. “The typical borrower who refinanced reduced their interest rate by about 1.4 percentage points. On a $200,000 loan, that translates into saving $2,700 in interest during the next 12 months,” or about $225 a month, said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist. With home purchase mortgage rates and refinance rates at record levels, more and more homeowners are being prompted to take a hard look at cashing-in on their home equity, instead of cashing-out. Refinanced mortgages comprised 80 percent of all home loans the week ending Feb. 1, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). Homeowners are also protecting their refinanced investment by locking in their savings with fixed rate mortgages (FRMs) instead of riskier adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). FRMs comprised more than 94 percent of the loans made for the week ending Feb. 1, according to MBA. “Savvy homeowners are taking advantage of some of the lowest fixed rates in more than 60 years to lock in interest savings,” said Nothaft. The average interest rate on 30-year fixed rate mort-
gages (FRMs) fell to a record low of 3.87 percent, for the week ending Feb. 2, according to Freddie Mac. The trend is a decided shift from the days when home equity became the "psychological equivalent of gold," and experts said one of the best way to use home equity was to move it into capital investments that provided an equal or greater return than home equity gain. Home improvements, education for the kids, new business finances, a second home and other financial moves can still be a good use for home equity - if you have it. Smart homeowners with little, if any equity, including underwater homeowners with negative equity, apparently are investing in their own home as an investment that's just as, well, capital. Freddie Mac said among the refinanced loans it analyzed, the median value change of the collateral property was a negative 4 percent over the median prior loan life of almost four years. In comparison, the Freddie Mac House Price Index shows about a 23 percent decline in its U.S. series between September 2007 and September 2011. That generally means borrowers who refinanced in the fourth quarter owned homes that had held their value better than the average home.

Dalai Lama from page 1 qualities, is coming to Middlebury,” said Liebowitz. “The problems that face humankind today, and that this generation of students will be called upon to address, will necessitate not only knowledge and technological ingenuity, but also compassion, determination and sacrifice,” said Liebowitz. “These human attributes and virtues have long been fostered and sustained by the world’s religious, spiritual and philosophical communities.” “The Dalai Lama understands that the challenges we face in healing our planet require many peoples to come together as one if we are to be successful,” said Middlebury College Chaplain Laurie Jordan, who helped to organize his visit. “We are interested in exploring how activists and everyday citizens alike can draw strength from each other and from cultivating their own inner lives.” The Dalai Lama’s visit this fall will be his third to Middlebury. He was previously on campus for two symposiums—in 1984 for “Christ and the Bodhisattva,” and in 1990 for “Spirit and Nature: Religion, Ethics and nvironmental Crisis.” A steering committee at the college has
been working under the guidance of the Venerable Lama Tenzin Dhonden, personal peace emissary for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, to arrange this fall’s events. Born in Tibet 77 years ago, Tenzin Gyatso was named the 14th Dalai Lama when he was 2 years old, becoming the successor in a line of political and spiritual leaders spanning six centuries. In 1959 he escaped after a failed Tibetan uprising against China. Since then he has been living in Dharamsala, in northern India, the seat of the Tibetan political administration in exile. In 1989 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent struggle for the liberation of Tibet. He also became the first Nobel Laureate to be recognized for his concern for global environmental problems. The Dalai Lama has received many awards, honorary doctorates and prizes in recognition of his message of peace, interreligious understanding, universal responsibility and compassion. The author of numerous books, he makes frequent speaking engagements around the world. Tickets for both lectures will be available from the Middlebury College Box Office. Tickets to the campus lecture will be available in May, and will be free of charge for students with a Middlebury I.D. Tickets for the public lecture will go on sale in June.
