Historic Newton Academy Academy destroyed by fire A freak lightning strike and fire destroyed the historic 1810 Newton Academy in Shoreham. Pictured are scenes of the academy from the early 1800s to 1938. Photos courtesy of Sandy Korda and the Town of Shoreham
Structure housed nursery, clinic SHOREHAM—In the wake of a fast moving, late-night thunderstorm April 7, the historic 19th century Newton Academy, home to a nursery school and the Shorewell Clinic, was struck by lightning shortly before 1 a.m. Firefighters reported that flames were through the roof of the three-story building, and by 4 a.m., it was clear that the once historic structure was a complete loss. Shoreham, Orwell, Cornwall, Whiting and Bridport fire departments, aided by Vergennes Fire Department's ladder truck, were able to protect a nearby dwelling, the elementary school, and two school buses. Shoreham First Response and Middlebury Ambulance also responded and remained on stand-by. "Big, huge flames. You could see it for quite a
ways," fire eyewitness Karen Shackett of Shoreham told reporters. “People were crying—visibly upset about the loss. There's a lot of memories for people here.” Newton Academy was built in 1810 and was the oldest secondary school in Vermont. It served as a private school until 1872 when the town took it over and remained as Shoreham High School. It reopened briefly when more elementary school classroom space was needed, but then reclosed in 1972. Newton Academy had long been the focal point of the village common and had served the community well as a private school, public school and complete educational facility with grades from 1 through 12, closing the doors on
Shoreham High School in 1969. In the late 1970s, part of the downstairs was renovated in an attempt to accommodate local medical care. Shorewell Clinic operated there under Dr. Allan Curtiss. A committee was renovating a community meeting room downstairs for use by the Shoreham Preschool, senior citizens, and other groups in town. The academy building included new roof at the time of the fire; a plan was already underway to stabilize and restore it as a Shoreham landmark. Two hundred years of Vermont history—almost to the day—vanished in last week’s fire. The nursery school and medical clinic will be relocated.

World Beer Cup judges have a tough job; they have to drink a lot of fine beer and ale and decide on the best. During the event, judges singled out three unexpected Vermont breweries for their excellent products—the cup provided a nice, colorful feather for Vermont’s beermesiter Tyrolean hat. The Alchemist Pub and Brewery of Waterbury received the World Beer Cup Gold Medal in the eclectic gluten-free beer category for its Celia Saison product. Celia Saison–a Belgian-inspired gluten-free Saison made with sorghum, orange peel, coriander, and Amarillo hops. Harpoon Brewery of Windsor was awarded the cup's silver medal in the American-style wheat beer with yeast category for its flagship of quirky UFO brands—UFO Hefeweizen.

The Green Mountain State is rapidly earning the reputation as one of the Western Hemisphere's top micro beer- and ale-making locales. Known for its fine waters, attention to beer-making details, contents, and old-fashioned honest marketing, such accolades about Vermont brews aren't mere chamber of commerce hype. The proof is in the trophy cabinets. Last week, Vermont brews topped the list of bests at the World Beer Cup 2010 event held in Colorado. The Brewers Association of Denver hosts an annual global beer competition; experts from all over the globe evaluated beer from more than 25 nations. They recognized the most outstanding beers being produced, so the competition is stiff and exhibitor emotions run high.
faint but clear citrus-like character." The UFO award-winner was described by judges as having “a soft mouth feel and a refreshing, light body. The wheat malts and subtle hopping give this beer what is described as a mild, delicate flavor.” Lawson's Finest Liquids of Warren won a bronze medal in the specialty beer category for its unusual Maple Tripple. Think of a rich beer and maple syrup and you have Maple Tripple. Judges attempted to describ Tripple as "an enticing, rich and complex... the creation defies easy description." Lawson's once-a-year beer is brewed only during sugaring season with 100 percent maple sap from Fayston-area farms.

Local, safe, organic, pasteurized, farm fresh milk can now be produced locally on Vermont farmsteads, homesteads, and micro-dairy farms using the technology, equipment, and services provided by Bob-White Systems. Localvore homesteaders and small-scale slow food producers can now milk two to four cows making safe, delicious milk that can be sold at local farmer ’s markets, stores, restaurants, and throughout the community—keeping Vermont milk close to home while generating a viable mix to the growing localvore and slow food community and economy in Vermont with farm fresh milk! In 2006, innovative Vermont dairy farmer, Steven Judge, started a micro-dairy farm on a hillside pasture in Royalton in a barn he built for four Jersey cows. Judge and his company, Bob-White Systems, are offering farmstead dairies the opportunity to craft local milk and for the past four years have been developing micro low impact pasteurizers and bulk tanks that provide the gentle pumping and minimal heat necessary to produce safe milk without compromising milk’s delicate flavor and nutritional value. From this technology, additional equipment, such as portable milking machines and vacuum pumps, and other farmstead dairy related equipment (including technology for small batch cheese production) has been created. Bob-White Systems is located in South Royalton which opened in March with a small showroom of the equipment and online at www.bobwhitesystems.com.

Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in working age adults, but 90 percent of visual loss can be prevented. An annual dilated eye exam can help prevent vision loss in people with diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that affects the body's ability to produce and/or use insulin in amounts sufficient to control blood sugar levels. People with diabetes can develop too much sugar in their blood, called hyperglycemia. Our serum glucose (sugar) is a vital source of energy for our body's cells, but too much of it causes damage throughout the body, including in the small blood vessels of the eyes. If you have diabetes, you run the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, a condition in which damage occurs to the blood vessels of the retina inside the eye. You are also more at risk for cataract (clouding of the lens of the eye) and glaucoma (damage to the optic nerve). Diabetic retinopathy, the most common diabetic eye disease, is caused by changes in the blood vessels of the retina. Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy is the earliest stage. In this condition the retinal vessels leak fluid, small amounts of blood, and sometimes cholesterol or other fats into the retina. Some diabetic eye disease may be reversible with improved blood sugar control. Some requires intervention by an ophthalmologist. What can you do? A healthy, well balanced diet and a lifestyle that includes regular exercise and promotes a healthy body weight is important if you have disease, and also, for many of us, to prevent disease. Getting regular medical care is important, and our medical doctors are doing a terrific job helping patients with diabetes to get their blood sugars into a healthier range compared to twenty years ago. Regular exams with an ophthalmologist (eye M.D.) , at least once a year, is recommended for patients with diabetes, even those without symptoms because in the earliest stages of diabetic retinopathy, there usually aren't any. Should you experience a change in your vision, see your ophthalmologist or other eye-care specialist. Local eye ophthalmologists include Lisa Pippa Alexander, M.D., PLC, 388-3937, Circle Eye Care, 247-2727, and Eye Care Associates, 388-6565.

Political jokes L
ots of folks ask me if I like making jokes about politics. I don’t, simply because my mine doesn’t flow toward that realm. Recently though I’ve written something, not so much about politics, but about a political figure. What follows is the joke that I’ve performed now a half dozen times. It’s working like a charm. I thought I’d type it down hard and see if it translated to the page as funny. Well, I’m not sure it does. I am sure though that pace and timing is key when performing comedy. I’m also sure saying certain words on stage feels less, ah, let me see, less like someone will take offense, then if the same words are written. Below, I’ve felt I had to change a few key words for them to pass the printable test. Funny that when folks hear certain words they’re fine with them, but reading the same words can rile them. What’s written either carries more weight, or, I’m a guy who can color words better when I say them, then when I write them. Probably none of this is making sense. Maybe if you go back and read it to yourself aloud it will. So read and see if you think it’s funny at all, and if you don’t, someday maybe you’ll hear me do it on stage, and if you do, I’m going to bet you’ll chuckle in spite of yourself. BTW, no offense to the subjects, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind. It’s a joke after all— Got a new President, Barack Obama. Won the Nobel Peace Prize. Some people wonder why. He’s trying to stop bad economy, trying to stop bad education, trying to stop bad environment, trying to stop Osama Bin Laden, trying to stop poverty, trying to stop two wars. Can’t even stop smoking. Not a very good example for the kids is it, Barack? And everyone says how smart Barack is. If he’s so smart wouldn’t you’d think he’d be smart enough to figure out he might be wise to stop smoking and like, take up tinkerin’ around with interns or something? (In the show, tinkerin’ around with interns is replaced by something else. Guess what the something else is, insert it, read it again, then get mad at yourself for guessing it correctly and laughing, instead of at me for writing it) I’m not thinking ol’ Barack will tinker around with interns ‘cause he’s married to Michelle; she’s no joke with them arms, and if she gets wind he’s tinkering around with interns, ol’ Michelle would smoke Barack. Yup, Michelle’d toss a few picnic tables out onto the West Wing
No such thing as absolute time
SATURDAY April 17, 2010 lawn, invite the Republicans over and have herself a Barack Obarmaque. Followed up with a Barack Obombfire. She’d say, “You wanted to smoke Barack, there you go, you’re smokin’ now.” I feel sorry for Barack. He’s the leader of the free world, the most powerful man in the universe, and he lives with his mother-in-law. Yeah, Michelle’s ma lives with them in the White House. He’s got his ma-in-law, Michelle, his two daughters, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi sniffin’ around his behind all the time. Stop smoking cigarettes, heck, I’m pretty sure in a few weeks he’s going to need to take up smoking weed. Get to his Blackberry, text his old Chicago buddy Mayor Marion Barry and order up some grass—ease his nerves a little bit. (Here again is an edit. In the show I replace weed with something that former Chicago Mayor Marion Barry enjoyed on hidden camera. It’s white and rhymes with flack. It’s a more harsh choice and I feel like writing it would be over the top, but man oh man, how folks think it’s funny when I say it on stage. Folks just like you.) And if he serves another term, his little girls, his kids, will be full grown women, and if the Moon shines just right he could have all six women harping on him all on the same day. Navigate that, Barack. (Edit alert. Moon shines might give you a clue as to what I replace, harpin’ on him, with on stage) That’s why they gave him the Nobel Peace Prize. That’s the joke folks. I just read it and it's not really very funny. Maybe it's only funny on stage because I'm funny looking, really, that could be most of it. Remind me to never write a joke book.

When in doubt, punt
A
lbert Einstein’s calculations regarding the speed-of-light axiom demonstrated one rule of the universe that cannot be violated: time is not absolute. There’s no such thing as a Greenwich Mean Time in space; television sci-fi producer Gene Roddenberry’s fictional dream of a universal stardate calendar is an impossibility, too (well, you’d have to find an energy field that exists—instantly—throughout space to get around Einstein’s no absolute time rule). Regarding Einstein’s calculations, two observers By Lou Varricchio in space cannot synchronize their on-board clocks to a standard time. The two observers, separated in space, are also separated in time; they cannot see both clocks showing synchronized time. Thus, the two clocks will never be in agreement—well, unless both observers and their clocks occupy the same space in time. The accuracy of atomic clocks is frequently touted to be accurate to within 0.000000001 or 10-9 of a second (a billionth) or more. Sounds wonderful, except for the fact that the accuracy works only when an observer is standing alongside the clock. Move away from the atomic clock, and light will affect the observed and the instrument’s accuracy will begin to drift. One example frequently cited regarding atomic clocks and absolute time is to place a clock and an observer at opposite ends—at the goal posts on a football field. The billionth of a second accuracy of the atomic clock in the football stadium will appear less accurate when measured by the observer at the opposite goal post. The drift may be a microsecond or 1,000 billionths of a second in time. Ok, sounds like splitting hairs, you might be muttering—but over vast distances the accuracy drift becomes, well, astronomical. If you leave the atomic clock at the football goal post and then rocket the observer to the Moon—250,000 miles away—the clock’s accuracy drift will show 1.33 seconds. Still hairsplitting, you say? Now imagine moving the observer out through the solar system, past Pluto, and on into the mysterious Kuiper Belt region of comets and ice asteroids—and beyond. Atomic clocks become the final arbiters of Einstein’s calculations about the lack of absolute time in our universe. Can anything travel faster-than-light (FTL) to get around the limits of keeping absolute time in space? Maybe but only on a quantum level. Some experiments since the 1980s have demonstrated that FTL may be possible, but only across amazingly short, quantum distances. To move large amounts of data or humans in a spacecraft FTL will remain in the realm of science fiction for the foreseeable future. What’s in the Sky: After 9 p.m., in the WNW, the crescent Moon offers some beauty and challenges throughout April. Venus hovers below the Pleiades.

t’s been more than a quarter-century since “A Nation at Risk” was written, widely published, even more widely (in non-educator circles) agreed with, and even-even more widely (in educator circles) ignored. The April ’83 report by the National Commission on Excellence in Education is probably most well-known for its quote “if an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre education performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war”. It’s least well-known for the Educational Excellencies’ misspelling of “judgment” in their very first paragraph. Its recommendations for a high school curriculum composed of the New Basics --4 years of English, 3 years of Math, 3 years of Social Studies (an amalgam of the earlier History and Geography with some doctrinal multi-culturalism thrown in) and a half-year of Computer Science (remarkable at a time when a Personal Computer was then still a rarity and IBM itself foresaw the industry future in corporate main-frames rather than pocket-size portables) were never overtly challenged; they just went blithely disregarded. Maybe that was partially because the written critique wasn’t particularly welcomed by the intellectually superior educator class, coming as it did from an Administration whose Chief Executive they typically referred to as “an amiable dunce”. Another cause-for-enlightened-educator-disdain might have been that “basics” aren’t as much fun for educational theorists as non-basics: since 1964 retired New York State school superintendent John Henry Martin had been trolling remarkably successfully for lavish funding for his magnet schools concept, and indeed in the classic example of the case, only a year after “A Nation at Risk” (1983) a federal judge was ordering (1984) the Kansas City schools to build attractions ranging from TV studios and a zoo to a robotic lab and a model UN auditorium (not the same thing) in order to, among other goals, improve student achievement. Not much in Judge Russell Clark’s ruling requiring more attention to basics and more application of standards to measure achievement. It never worked as promised, a whole ‘nother story. A Federal measurement of student achievement, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, using tests based on standards, each matched to a given grade level, had been initiated a dozen years earlier, and it likewise went mostly ignored, the consistently dismal student scores (averaging in the low 200s out of a possible 500) went locally unpublished, and class subject matter continued to move away from, say, grammar and multiplication tables towards, for example, the adoption of “creative spelling”, teaching of Ebonics as a real language, the New Math adoption of “set theory”, and the maybe-not-apocryphal story of the arithmetical exercise asking “if four loggers can each clear a half-acre a day, how many wilderness hectares can they destroy in a week and how will the dispossessed wildlife feel?” Ignored until 2001, that is. The National Assessment of Educational Progress uses a small sample of students in each State to gauge achievement in reading, math, science, and even, according to the website, arts and civics at the 4th and 8th grade levels, and the results have been published annually in the National Digest of Educational Statistics, enabling those who choose to look to see how, for example, MA frequently came out better than MI (lots of publicity in MA) and how even MA shows a student proficiency rate of about a third (not a lot of publicity in MA) and how test scores have held stagnant
even as class sizes have shrunk and inflationadjusted spending has quadrupled. But in 2001 a new federal rule required that schools get almost all their students to “proficient” by 2014, or else, and the system instantly objected, arguing that getting students to proficient wasn’t their responsibility in any measurable way. They sued the Feds, in a Vermont-led lawsuit, for more money. And test scores haven’t gone up, even as the deadline year 2014 has approached. It’s now only 4 years away; a new tactic is needed. In Vermont, for example, the average 4th grade reading score is 229, compared to the “proficient” cut-point of 238. Multiply that by 49 other states and a D.C., and you get a political situation wherein Prez 44 announces that he will (in a quote from a Wall Street Journal, March 23 op-ed) “…junk NCLB’s requirement that students be proficient in reading and math by 2014, and replace it with an equally unrealistic goal (if you take the words at face value, I would add) of making all kids “college-ready” by 2020”. Roughly a third of those who matriculate aren’t really college-ready now, and require remedial (that means highschool-level) courses, content their teachers had chosen not to teach, or the students had chosen not to learn, in classes at the high school level that would now be mandatory within the halls of supposedly-higher-ed ivy. “Collegeready”, I would guess, is the phrase chosen to replace numerical test scores precisely because it lends itself to any sort of non-quantitative subjective interpretation needed to conceal the actual facts of semi-illiteracy and –numeracy which prevail for the majority of high school grads. To revert to the football analogy in the caption of this column, it’s the declaration that a 3-point punt be valued, when “deemed” necessary, right up there with the unachievable 6-point touchdown, which has become something it’s preferable not to talk about any more. The history of public education’s response to the 40year-old NAEP tests with quantitative scoring of achievement, and the 10-year-old NCLB requirement that such scores be used to prove “proficiency” in basic subject matter, has been first to ignore and then to punt; the adoption of easier tests (to finesse the NCLB “proficiency” requirement) than the NAEP series by 49 States was intended (with plausible deniability, of course) to generate seemingly better numbers without actually doing better instruction. In Vermont, for example, the 2/3 or so of students who can’t make “proficient” on the Federal tests become the 2/3 or so who miraculously can, on the alternative NECAPs. To use yet anther analogy, it’s the Gresham’s Law principle –“bad money drives out good”— in education, where deliberately-designed easier tests are purchased and deployed to supplant more rigorous ones, with the same intent: to deceive the gullible and reward the issuers. I’d like to be able to summarize with evidence that parental reaction to these dismal historical trends has been uniformly negative, but the returns on “client satisfaction” are mixed. More next week. Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.

Two graduates of Vergennes Union High School who have gone on to excel in their respective military careers will participate in the annual Vergennes Memorial Day parade, sponsored and run by American Legion Post 14. The parade, with the theme of “never forgotten,” will begin its two-mile route at 11 a.m. on Monday, May 31. At its conclusion, ceremonies will take place in Vergennes City Park. These include the laying of a wreath at the Commodore McDonough monument and readings and addresses by a variety of dignitaries. Scheduled to return to play leading roles are two active duty military members originally hailing from the Little City—Col. Jeffrey Farnsworth, commander of the U.S. Army’s First Space Brigade based in Colorado Springs, Colo., will be the guest speaker during the ceremonies. Cryptologic Technician (Technical) First Class Cassandra Foote, a leading petty officer and instructor at the Navy’s Center for Information Dominance in Pensacola, Fla., is slated to serve as the Grand Marshall. Both are alumni of VUHS and, in addition, Farnsworth is a graduate of both Norwich University and the Army War College from which he holds a master ’s degree. Colonel Farnsworth has been commander of the First Space Brigade, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command / U.S. Army Forces Strategic Command since July 2008. He is responsible for the supervision of three
one-of-a-kind battalions with forces forward deployed at 14 locations in seven countries providing day-to-day space support to the operational Army. Prior to his assignments within the Army Space community, he served in a variety of assignments as an U.S. Army Engineer Corps officer. Farnsworth’s personal awards and decorations include the Legion of Merit, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal (with four Oak Leaf Cluster), Army Commendation Medal (with four Oak Leaf Cluster), Navy-Marine Corps Commendation Medal, and the Army Achievement Medal (with two Oak Leaf Clusters). Foote, who enlisted in the Navy following graduation from VUHS, was recently named a finalist in the Navy’s Shore Sailor of the Year competition. She qualified by first being selected Sailor of the Year from the Navy Education and Training Command, the Navy-wide organization that includes virtually all schools in the Navy from recruit training through those offering the most advanced technical courses. She followed this by being selected as Sailor of the Year at the next echelon, the Navy’s Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education organization which includes not only training commands but a wide variety of other human resource related organizations such as the Recruiting Command and the Navy Personnel Command. She has served tours of duty at sea aboard aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower
Former Vergennes resident Col. Jeffrey Farnsworth, commander of the U.S. Army’s First Space Brigade based in Colorado Springs, Colo. (CVN 69) and USS Winston Churchill (DDG 81), a destroyer.

Organizations and individuals wishing to participate in the parade should contact the parade committee chairman, Henry Broughton who can be reached through the Post at 877-3216, by e-mail at post14@myfairpoint.net or by sending a post card to Post 14 at 100 Armory Lane, Vergennes 05491. Those using email are asked to put “Memorial Day Parade” in the subject line.
Water, sewer work at night MIDDLEBURY—Construction crews in downtown Middlebury will begin work on water sewer mains Friday, 11 p.m. to Saturdays 7 a.m. until complete. Town Manager Bill Finger estimated the completion date to be on or around May 7. The night work will occur along Bakery Lane and adjacent parking lots. Water and sewer mains that traverse the lane need to relocated and replaced to make way for the new Cross Street Bridge scheduled to open in September. The work will take place at night, according to Finger, in an effort to minimize adverse impacts on parking, traffic and local commerce. Construction noise has an impact at night on nearby residents on both sides of Otter Creek, according to Finger. “We have asked Engineer ’s Construction, Inc. to direct night lighting away from residences as much as possible and to minimize vehicle and equipment,” Finger said as part of a public notice last week. “Unfortunately, the ‘beep-beep’ of (vehicular) back-up alarms, that many folks find most annoying, is required by federal and state safety regulations.” The town, Phelps Engineering, and ECI are working together to get this phase of the project completed as soon as possible, Finger added.
Spring fair downtown Addison County will celebrate Earth Day and spring with a music- and food-filled fair on the Middlebury Town Green on Sunday, April 25, from 1 to 4 p.m. following worship services and the Middlebury Maple Run that morning.

Another Voynich manuscript? G
enerations of cryptographers have considered the Voynich Manuscript to be the most mysterious document in world history. The 204-page hand-lettered manuscript appeared in 1666, when the rector of the University of Prague sent it to his mentor, the Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher (best known for his map of the mythical lost continent of Atlantis). The document, wrote the rector, had been purchased from an unknown seller by Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who died in 1612. The rector hoped the erudite Kircher could decode it. No one ever had. Nor did Kircher. He finally gave up trying, and sent the manuscript off to a Jesuit college, from whence it migrated to a Jesuit school in Frascati, Italy. There it reposed until 1912, when American rare book dealer Wilfred Voynich bought it and made sample photostats available to cryptographers. What was intriguing about the Voynich Manuscript was that it appeared to be written in letters that at first glance looked like the Latin alphabet, but weren't. They were original symbols, set down as a scribe might transcribe an intelligible document. Over the next thirty years every sort of philologist, paleographer, mathematician, historian, and cryptanalyst took a crack at it, and all came up totally dry. The Voynich text remains unsolved to this day. What brings this obscure mystery to mind is the progress report received by the legislature on March 30 on the vaunted "Challenge for Change" project that is supposed to reduce the state's $154 million FY 2011 General Fund shortfall by $38 million. Like the Voynich Manuscript, the CfC progress report appears to be written in a recognizable language (English). But after plowing through its 45 pages, a critical reader comes out wondering what problems the reports' authors think need to be solved. The stated purpose of the "challenges" posed by the authorizing statute (Act 68 of 2010) is to "create better methods for providing government services, while spending less money and still achieving the outcomes specified in this act." There will be no "abandoning clients or slashing services." The idea is to somehow grease all the moving parts so the machine will run faster on less fuel. The CfC method is to simply declare the amount of savings to be realized from several state agencies ($38 million), and then assign each participating agency the task of coming up with the proposed savings, choosing performance measures, and identifying statutory changes to remove legal roadblocks. To pick one example, the Department of Corrections is supposed to find $10 million in savings, and the Secretary of Administration is authorized to allow the Department to spend $3 million to identify the $10 million, for a net budget reduction of $7 million. Why it will cost $3 million to save $10 million is not explained. Another example: The Agency of Natural Resources proposes to achieve unspecified savings by making permit applicants reimburse the Agency for its participation in regulatory actions before other agencies and courts. ANR also proposes to post more of its voluminous requirements online, as a greater service to the people who will have to spend great sums to comply with them (or give up). Why not back off of a lot of the requirements? Another example: the Office of Vermont Health Access wants to establish a Clinical Utilization Review Board to ensure that Medicaid services are "safe and clinically effective." Has OVHA simply handed out money for years without ever inquiring whether the services paid for were safe and effective? The central problem here is that the legislation mandating this process directs the agencies to supply more grease to the machinery, or find somebody else to pay for the fuel, when the real problem is too much expensive machinery trying to make things we can't afford and can well do without. After over 40 years of a political culture that has increasingly viewed state government as the indispensable benefits bestower, wealth redistributor, tax collector, subsidizer of all things nice, and Nanny State regulator of everyone's lives, it's time to return state government to its essential core functions. Who says so? A four-year budget shortfall of $848 million says so. Keeping every piece of state government in place, while greasing the machinery to keep it running, will not get our state out of its fiscal crisis. Maintaining an ambitious regulatory state will not encourage new wealth- and revenueproducing activity. The governor and legislators have deliberately framed the CfC project so as not to threaten anybody's pet program, or offend any interest group. Earth to Montpelier: we can't afford all that stuff any more. Overgrown government is destroying our state's solvency and throttling our prospects for economic growth. You have squandered enough time. Now get serious - quickly.

Research conducted by local historian Brian Lindner and retired state police Maj. Wesley Newman has resulted in two names of a fallen Vermont Department of Motor Vehicle Inspector and a Deputy Sherriff being added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C. Gov. Jim Douglas praised the work of Brian Lindner and Wesley Newman. “Brian and Wes deserve the thanks of Vermonters for ensuring that two of our own, Inspector Rossier and Deputy Collette, receive the honor of being enshrined at the National Law Enforcement Memorial,” he said.
THE
Grand Prize
TM
The name of Addison County Deputy Sherriff John Collette who died in the line of duty on July 17, 1932 will also be officially honored. Collette was in the process of arresting a fugitive whom he had found hiding on a train in Vergennes when he was struck down by a heart attack. On Sept. 8, 1935, Vermont DMV Inspector Robert Daniel Rossier crashed his department motorcycle on a rain-slick road near Brattleboro while on patrol. A passing motorist transported Inspector Rossier to the hospital, where he died the next morning. The event is part of National Police Week, in which officers from around the country will converge on Washington May 13 to honor their fallen comrades.

Air Force group seek new members Have you ever served in the U.S. Air Force or its civilian auxiliary the Civil Air Patrol? If not, are you interested in military aircraft? Maybe you just want to be part of an organization that focuses on the nation’s air force and its accomplishments. If so, the Air Force Association might be for you. The mission of the AFA is to educate about, advocate for and support the USAF. The local chapter meets monthly for lunch at the Elk's Club on North Avenue in Burlington. The lunches are held the second Thursday of each month and begin at noon. The next meeting is Thursday April 8. The sport of fly fishing is the next topic. Rhey Plumley of Classic Outfitters will speak about the pastimes of flyfishing and fly tying. He will give an introduction to the what, the how and the why. Vermont AFA members come from a variety of backgrounds with most having some connection with the military and aviation at some point in their lives. Contact Joel Clark at 802-868-9034 or Mike Reitan at 802879-6774 for more details.
AARP: long-term care for older Vermonters a worry An AARP survey report released this week shows that nearly 30 percent of older Vermonters list long-term care affordability as the top concern they think state government should address, followed by the cost of health care in general. Over half of the respondents stated that they are expecting Medicare or Medicaid to finance some of their long-term care costs. However, Medicare does not actually cover these costs, and Vermont Medicaid covers home and community based or nursing home care only for those financially eligibility. Some 36 percent of AARP members said they plan to use personal and retirement savings to fund care, while a quarter (24 percent) expects to use part of the proceeds from the sale of their home to pay for needed care. In addition, as many as 65 percent of those surveyed said they would prefer to receive long-term care services at home. AARP’s Vermont membership is reflective of the state’s aging population as a whole. The telephone survey of age 50-plus AARP members was completed in January. The survey also addressed transportation, access to health care services/providers, affordable housing and economic security concerns. The full report is available online at AARP Vermont Member Survey or by calling 802951-1303.

SATURDAY April 17, 2010
The joys of gardening in clay—really! By Dr. Leonard Perry University of Vermont Many gardeners are stuck with clay soils that are hard to cultivate, and in which many plants don't grow. How do you know if your soil is clay? How can you improve clay soils? What plants grow best in clay? If your soil dries like a brick with cracks when it's dry, or in clods, and is like putty when wet sticking to shoes and tools, you have clay soil. It is hard for most roots to penetrate such soil. Take some soil, add a little water, and form a ball in your hand. Then squeeze the ball into a flat ribbon. If the ribbon reaches two inches long or more before breaking, this is a sign you have clay soil. Soil particles come in different sizes, which contribute to soil texture. Sand particles are the largest, clay particles the smallest. Being so small, clay particles pack together not allowing the necessary spaces between them for air and water to flow, especially air that most roots need to function. Contributing to this is the fact that clay particles are plate-like, stacked like a deck of playing cards, with little space between them. This traps water for long periods. One positive side to clay is that its particles hold onto nutrients, making them more fertile. So how do you increase the space between these particles? Some recommend adding sand, but unless it is coarse sand, and you add about 3 parts to each part clay soil, the soil structure will likely just get worse. When planting, some recommend putting gravel in the bottom of the planting hole. This is bad as it just raises the water level, creating what is termed a "perched water table". Another recommendation is to add gypsum, similar to lime, but this may increase calcium and pH levels too high (clay soils tend to be alkaline). Best is to add organic matter, particularly compost. Be sure and add when your clay soil is dry, as working in wet clay is not only quite messy but will compact it even further. Peat moss is sometimes recommended as an addition, but this breaks down quickly in wet and clay soils, and can create an undesirable (for most plants) bog. Compost is good as it not only helps with the soil structure, but a compound (glomalin) the microorganisms (mychorrhizal fungi) in compost create binds the small clay particles together into aggregates with a waxy coating, thus creating more space between them for air and water to flow. As an aside, glomalin also benefits the soil, and earth in general, by storing carbon. You can't really overdo the amount of compost added to clay soils. For a lawn and landscape that is a quarter acre, just increasing the soil organic matter from 2 to 3 percent would take 5000 pounds of an amendment! Don't get discouraged by this, as adding some is better than none. You can add or-
ganic matter over time, and you can deal with small areas or beds at a time. Adding 3 to 4 inches at minimum is recommended. If you have a local compost facility, check to see if you can have a bulk load delivered. This is cheaper overall and avoids having dozens of plastic bags to dispose of. Best is to work organic matter deeply into the soil as roots will eventually end up there, and do so prior to planting. You can till as deep as a tiller will go. Or, dig sections of a bed at a time to a foot deep, work in compost, then replace the soil and do the next section. In future years, just work the surface, as organic matter you've worked in deeply will decompose quickly when brought up to the surface. Another method to increase organic matter in clay soils is with cover crops. These are crops planted as you prepare beds, for a season or year prior, or in fallow periods between annual crops such as flowers and vegetables. They consist of small grains and grasses like buckwheat, ryegrass, and oats. Legumes, such as clover, also benefit by fixing nitrogen from the air for use in the soil. Cover crops have additional benefits such as suppression of many weeds. If all this sounds like too much trouble, till or break up with a spading fork the area you'll plant. Then build a berm, or raised bed with sides 6 to 12 inches high or more, over it and fill with a good loam topsoil. You can use drainage tiles, or pipes, on the bottom if a wet area. If you're planting an individual tree or shrub, it is especially important to chose ones that will tolerate clay soils. Their root systems are so extensive that you can't amend the soil well enough over a large enough area, especially for trees. Dig the hole only as deep as the pot or rootball. Otherwise it will sink over time, causing the plants to end up too low. This is a major cause of woody plant demise after a few years. Don't make flat sides to the planting hole that wont let water drain. You'll only be creating a bathtub for the roots, without a drain. And only amend the backfill soil with no more than one third of a better soil as the plants were growing in. If planting large plants, break up an area around where you'll plant (out to as wide as the plants will eventually grow) with a long spade or fork. Add organic matter on top of this area which, over time, will work into these cracks you made. For low, groundcover perennials that tolerate heavy clay soils, consider the carpet bugle or dead-nettle (Lamium), both of which can spread vigorously. Low to medium height perennials, mainly attractive for their foliage and good for massing, include the lady's mantle, sea thrift, pigsqueak, daylily, Japanese iris, Japanese painted fern, Ostrich and Cinnamon ferns, and the late-spring flowering globeflower. Most spring-flowering bulbs need well-drained soil, however, checquered lily (Fritillaria meleagris) will tolerate clay and periodic wet soils.
Get your boots muddy and turn Vermont clay into a green garden, according to UVM’s Dr. Leonard Perry. File photo
Taller perennials for clay soils include aster, Helen's flower (Helenium), goldenrod, goatsbeard, foxglove, coneflower (Echinacea), false sunflower (Heliopsis), blazing star, blackeyed daisy (Rudbeckia), meadow rue, Joe-pye, and the compass plant (Silphium). If you have a contained area you might also consider these aggressive spreaders: white or yellow loosestrife, plume poppy, and bee balm. Several grasses will live in clay soils including the switchgrasses and eulalia grass. There are actually many shrubs that will tolerate clay soils, some better suited to them. These include the chokeberry, Siberian peashrub, shrub dogwoods, forsythia, common ninebark, potentilla, currants, shrub willows, and viburnums. Best choices for smaller trees include European alder, river birch, hawthorns, crabapples, and ornamental pear. For large trees consider hickories, hackberries (a native plant and vaseshaped replacement for elms), black and green ash, common honeylocust, Kentucky coffeetree, butternut, larch, amur corktree, cottonwood or aspen, oaks, willow, linden, and elm.

Jets From page 1 Green Mountain Flyers Chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association based in Rutland, a pilot at the Middlebury airport accidentally triggered an incorrect “distress” transponder code that prompted a pair of F-15s to intercept via the New Hampshire area where U.S. President Obama was giving a speech. The airport manager in Middlebury was apprently notified by the military that F-15s were approaching within 3.5 mile of the rural field; the jets were traveling at 568 KPH, according to the e-mail message. The airport manager reportedly flagged down the private aircraft as it was taxing. “One F-15 bugged out over the ridge and the other maintained a one mile or less steep turn at approx 1,500 feet to keep a visual on the aircraft in question for about 20 minutes,” according to the Green Mountain Flyers message. “After the pilot of the intercepting aircraft got the all clear, (a jet) flew down the runway 19 for a closer look before bugging out.” The airport incident ended as quickly as it began.

The competition was won by Tori Beth Black of Iva, S.C.., who earned an $18,000 scholarship. Her winning oration was titled “A Rising Sun”. Second place and a $16,000 scholarship went to Elizabeth Blessing, a home-schooled sophomore from Auburn, Ala. The scholarships account for a small portion of the roughly $3.5 million in post-secondary scholarships that The American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans organization, awards annually. Brooke Connor, a student at Middlebury Union High School, started the weekend as one of 53 state or territorial champions in the annual speech competition and advanced to the top through three rounds of intense competition. In her speech, titled “Putting Together the Constitutional Puzzle”, Connor compared the Constitution to a jigsaw puzzle. “The system of checks and balances carefully fit together and has protected us from fanaticism and assured that no one person is allowed to run amok with power.”
