Report highlights state’s high cost Vermonters who rent live in the fifteenth least affordable state in the nation, according to a new report jointly released by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, a Washington, D.C.based housing advocacy group, and the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition.

For Vermont’s renters, the news isn’t good.

Rural Vermont ranks in the top 10 most expensive rural areas in the nation.

The report, Out of Reach 2010, provides the Housing Wage and other housing affordability data for every state, metropolitan area and county in the country, comparing 52 jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

A Vermont fact sheet is attached.

The typical renter in Vermont earns $11.28, which is $6.42 less than the hourly wage needed to afford a modest unit. A worker making the minimum wage ($8.06/hour in Vermont) can only afford to pay $419 a month for rent and utilities, less than half the cost of a modest two-bedroom apartment. Working at the minimum wage, a family must have 2.2 wage earners working full-time – or one full-time earner working 88 hours/week – to afford a modest two-bedroom apartment.

An estimated 55 percent of renters in Vermont do not earn enough income to afford a two-bedroom apartment at the fair market rent, a two percentage point increase from last year.

Connor Homes to produce homes for du Ponts Officials of Connor Homes in Middlebury announced the firm has recently been granted the exclusive license to produce a line of homes to be endorsed by Winterthur, the museum, garden, and library that is the former home of Henry Francis du Pont.

The design inspiration for this new line of historically authentic, architecturally detailed homes comes from the museum’s extensive archives as well as interpretations and adaptations of existing architecture presently found on the Winterthur estate.

Located just north of Wilmington, Del., along the Delaware-Pennsylvania state line, Winterthur is situated on 1,000 acres and is the repository of one of the most extensive and important collections of early American decorative arts in the country.

Middlebury firefighter remembered Ronald Arthur Selleck, age 72, died March 29, at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, from a severe attack of Pancreatitis. He was surrounded by his loving family.

Selleck was born in Middlebury on February 19, 1938. He was the son of Arthur and Clara (Hope) Selleck. He received his education in local Middlebury schools. In 1972 he purchased Selleck’s Electrical, Plumbing and Heating business from his father. He has been the chairman of the Middlebury

Cemetery Association for over 30 years. He was an active member of his community. In his earlier years he was a member of the Middlebury Fire Department and more recently dispatcher for the fire department. He served in the Army National Guard and was honorably discharged from active duty in 1962, as a sergeant. Ron was a family man who enjoyed gathering with his family and friends. All who knew him will miss his social qualities and gentle and friendly manner. He belonged to Middle-

bury American Legion Post 27. He was a communicant at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Middlebury.

Surviving is his wife Sally, whom he married in Middlebury on August 12, 1961, and other family members.

A graveside committal service and burial, with military honors, will take place, at a later date, in Middlebury Cemetery.

Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers may be made, in his memory to; The Battell Hose Company, 5 Seymour St, Middlebury 05753.

THE EAGLE - 3

When Vermont helped give birth to the GOP Imagine Vermont as a stronghold of Republican ideals. You’re kidding, right? Well, there was a time in the 19th and 20th centuries when the Green Mountain State welcomed members of the Grand Old Party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan—a time when Vermont Republicans felt welcomed here; a time when liberal-minded residents didn’t snub their noses at conservative neighbors (and vice versa). My, how times and partisan politics have changed. Today, GOP strongholds have moved to other states far to the west and south of Vermont.

Forgotten by most Vermonters is the true story of an enterprising attorney from the 19th-century Vermont cowtown of Cornwall; a man who made an indelible mark on the political landscape of Vermont and the nation in the early 1800s.

Solomon Foot, a Cornwall native and loyal Whig Party member, became a pioneer of the fledgling Republican political party in the mid-19th century.

The Whig Party, short for whiggamor—the nickname applied to 17th century Scottish rebels—was the sole party of America’s revolutionaries during the 1770s and ‘80s. But after the demise of the Whigs in the mid 1800s, the party’s political philosophy—a

party that stressed the individual (not the collective) and free enterprise triumphing over a centralized, federal government— was quickly adopted by their replacements, the Republicans. Abraham Lincoln was a Whig until the party morphed into the GOP (Grand Old Party or Republican Party).

Thus, Lincoln became the first Republican president in 1860.

In Vermont, Solomon Foot helped establish the state as a bastion for Whig-Republican ideals well into the mid-20th century— a far cry from the state’s post-1960s role as a cradle of liberal Democrat “Blue State” politics.

Foot, born on Nov. 19, 1802 in Cornwall, was a brilliant thinker, eloquent speaker, and raconteur. He was an old-fashioned Vermont lawyer, state representative, and senator. He spent more than 25 years in elected offices.

After being admitted to the Vermont bar in 1831, Foot served as an Addison County state legislator in 1833; he was returned to state office from 1836 to 1838.

Spending just six years as a prosecuting attorney, Foot eyed a promising career in national politics.

His successful 1843 U.S. House campaign focused on 19th century conservative ideals and the call of Manifest Destiny in the frontier of the American West—although Foot,

and fellow Whigs at the time, rejected the political catch phrase coined by Jacksonian Democrats.

Foot was elected as a Whig congressman from Vermont in 1843. And by 1850 he successfully transitioned his political machine to make a run for the U.S. Senate; he was elected to that post in 1850. Foot succeeded U.S. Sen. Samuel Phelps, another Whig, from Middlebury.

After the demise of the Whig Party in 1856 over the slavery question, Foote was reelected as a Republican senator; he served as senator from 1856 until his death.

Foote was president pro tempore of the U.S. Senate from 1861 to 1864 during the darkest days of the U.S. Civil War. He died, at age 63, in Washington, D.C., on March 28, 1866.

A “hole” in space R

esearchers aren’t 100 percent certain what formed the socalled Local Bubble, but it’s looking more like a nearby supernova—of the violent Type-II variety—excavated the hole. The Local Bubble is a vast “hole” that was opened in the interstellar medium that surrounds our Sun; it extends for over 1,000 light-years in at least one direction.

The resulting blast punched through the interstellar dust and gas that originally surrounded our local region of space. Think of a fireball of a thermonuclear nuclear device but on a vast interstellar scale. As the shockwave front of a Type-II fireball spreads out into deep space, it blows away everything in its path.

Ironically, astronomers have benefited from the Local Bubble. Because our local region of space has been swept clear of much of its dust and gas, deep-sky telescopic observing has offered a “clearer” view in the direction of the bubble’s point of origin; we’d never have known this fact if we didn’t, first, have the understanding of looking out from inside this Local Bubble. Also, if we didn’t have astronomical instruments capable of observing space in the extreme ultraviolet (UV) region of the electromagnetic spectrum, we probably wouldn’t have been able to discover the Local Bubble in the first place.

Back in 1975, astronomers first noticed that, in wavelengths ranging from 10 to 100 nm, short-wavelength photons were ionizing neutral hydrogen atoms. This evidence suggested that some kind of a monster “hole” or bubble existed in the space around our solar system.

The Local Bubble extends 1,000 light-years (300 parsecs) in the direction of the star Beta Canis Majoris in the constellation Canis Major. In 1992, NASA’s Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer spacecraft was the first to map the Local Bubble. At the same time, the European ROSAT spacecraft detected a pulsating beam of X-rays that strongly suggested a possible point of origin for the bubble in space.

Energetic x-rays are almost always the fingerprints left behind at a dramatic cosmic “crime” scene—an enormous uncontrolled thermonuclear explosion, sending out high energy subatomic particles from “ground zero”, must have blown through our region of space like a tsunami. This cosmic tsunami, the shockwave of the immense stellar explosion, opened up our Local Bubble. It has not been clearly identified if there were extinctions on Earth associat-

ecause former Harvard University President Lawrence Summers was summarily defenestrated from his prestigious ivy-draped office (for presuming to observe that some sectors of the population— in Cambridge, Mass., a clear political, if possibly not demographic, majority—do better in graphics than numbers), I’ll avoid the right-brain and leftbrain question, and the underlying statistics in this column and go directly to the basic principle of consumer behavior and the charts which illustrate it.

The principle has been called the tipping point and it refers to the repeated empiric observation that, if and when 20 percent of the population make a consumer choices of goods or services, the remaining 80 percent mostly soon follow. It has worked in the past for such new goods as automobiles, refrigerators, and T.V. receivers, and most famously for services, showing up in such patterns as urban middle-class flight from court-ordered underclass school enrollment mixing, commonly labeled “white flight”, although, as both Kansas City and Detroit statistics illustrated, middle-class black flight was numerically proportionate to middle-class white flight from newly-disrupted classrooms.

The chart here is the s-curve, which wasn’t invented by economist Harry Dent but was publicized by him in his 1999 book, “The Roaring 2000s”.

It has three phases: a slow “Innovation” stage where brave new consumers try it, a rapidly accelerating Growth phase, where most potential customers buy in; and a final declininggrowth maturity phase, in which all of the late and slow who will ever try it finally join in. When you examine the curve you’ll see that, if and when it gets to the 20 percent level of market penetration, almost all of the remaining 80 percent will usually soon follow, which explains why it’s also known as the Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rule.

I use the qualifier “usually” because there have been exceptions. In education, for example, one took place in the years be-

SATURDAY May 1, 2010

fore and while I was a public school student, typically in 30student classes with better-thannow test scores, and no college entrants in need of remedial instruction, when the non-public parochial school alternative was increasing its market share; it topped out at about 15 percent or so of total potential enrollment, the age 5-17 cohort. The other took place in the years after I was a public school student, when, I can recall reading, the American public education system was widely described as “the envy of the Western world”; when public education was perceived as so good that there was no need to pay even the typically modest tuition fee for the alternative, and so the market penetration of the non-public alternative shrank. In both cases, the s-curve didn’t play out to full completion.

Back then, public education was so proud of its market-share ascendancy that state education departments would proudly report, when asked, what the percentage of non-public alternative was: three or four percent, they’d say. More recently, when you ask that question, you get a “we don’t know” response. I suspect they know but, as with recent queries on school size in square feet and official capacity, choose to plead ignorance rather than reveal stats which might be, in their view, misused by such as your present scribe.

Recently, I’ve gone to an alternate source for the missing stat: the size of the age 5-17 cohort, which, compared with sameyear public enrollment (note: it requires math proficiency to do the long division without a calculator) and here’s what the

Census Bureau has for Vermont.

The last official age 5-17 head count was executed in 2000, and will be again this year, but the web site shows estimates and projections for 2005 (112K) and 2015 (107K) from which one can derive an average (math proficiency again required) of 109.5K for the current year the Vermont SED website reports the present enrollment at 91,239. In a Grade 3 exercise (see the Kwiznet web page) you can see that, to obtain the public-enrollment percentage, the divisor is 109.5K, the dividend is 91K, and the quotient is 83K. Next, Grade 1 subtraction is required. Since the minuend is 100 and the subtrahend is 83, the remainder is 17.

In modern basic English, twosyllable words max, the percent of age 5-17 students in non-public schooling is 17 (oops, a threesyllable number, there, twice).

Finally, compare 17 to the 20 which is the 80/20 tipping point number. It’s close. Is non-public enrollment about to embark on the steep part of the Harry Dent s-curve? Is the Pareto Principle pending? As Vulpes Novus said, “Nos Renuntimus. Vos decernite.”

Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.

ed with the event that created the Local Bubble; much research remains to be done with the fossil record.

The X-ray source detected by ROSAT in 1992 is located 300 light-years (100 parsecs) or more away in the constellation Gemini. It was quickly dubbed “Geminga” by Italian astronomer Giovanni Bignami who was involved in analyzing the ROSAT x-ray data.

Geminga, as Bignami tells it, is

By Lou Varricchio an Italian word that means “I’m not there!”—an appropriate name since at the time of detection, no object could be resolved at the focal point of the pulsed x-ray beams.

Later, Bignami and his team of astronomers were credited with discovering a pulsar object at the location of the Gemini X-rays. In 1997, it was suggested by astronomer John Mattox that a planetary system, obviously formed after the supernova event, exists around Geminga.

Apulsar, short for pulsating star, is a rapidly rotating, very dense, neutron star that forms after a supernova explosion. The cores of these pulsars are composed of super dense matter, made purely of neutrons, popularly called neutronium. (A teaspoon size of neutronium would pass of its own weight completely through the Earth!)

Bignami estimates that Geminga may have exploded 300,000 or more years ago. This estimate is based on the pulsar’s lengthening pulse period. Geminga appears to have been left over from the Type-II supernova—the original stellar heavyweight that delivered the massive one, two punch that created our Local Bubble.

The Logger: UVM speaker material?

L

ast year, UVM chose Ben Stein as its graduation speaker. A smart financial guy, comedian, actor, writer, speaker, and political talking head. UVM President Fogel has a connection to Mr. Stein that allowed the booking to occur.

Mr. Stein’s thoughts about evolution, that he had expressed at an earlier campus appearance, irked a number of students; thus, they protested his booking. UVM scrapped Mr. Stein’s presentation. Ben wasn’t happy. Ah, spilled milk. Instead, UVM booked ex-Gov. Howard Dean to speak.

Mr. Stein’s fee was to have been up around near seven or eight grand—a healthy discount, Mr. Stein said, from his usual speaking fee.

As of April 19, news items contained information that UVM hadn’t chosen their 2010 commencement speaker. I e-mailed the UVM ceremonies office listing my speech topics, and my credentials; vast graduation speaker experience, varied and deeply rooted involvement with Vermont communities, spotless business and personal standing in the state. And when senior classes choose me as their commencement speaker, I take time to visit the students months before the event. Can’t imagine showing up on the day never having met them. Schools offer a fee for graduation speeches. I always decline. I wrote UVM I’d accept a fee if they chose me. I think they’d be wise to consider me.

Small chance UVM officials will consider me as a speaker. I understand. At UVM, the powers-that-be are too busy to know who is out there offering something more relevant and entertaining than the likes of a Howard Dean or Ben Stein (two folks who’ve raised their reputations to a rarefied level).

Students and their families need me as their speaker.

I know how a person should perform, first and foremost, when delivering a graduation speech. Brief—that’s it; one should be brief.

Graduation speakers provide a service that is totally expendable; few speakers act as if they realize that. Too bad for grandmothers who travel hundreds of miles to sit for hours in the blazing heat listening as the speaker trumpets, “Back when I signed my first book contract I had no idea...blah, blah, blah.”

There are those who love hearing themselves speak, an attribute that fuels their ability to find ways to be heard. If they succeed in being heard, and what they’re saying is the least bit interesting, they gain notoriety—notoriety that lands them on the list from which speakers are chosen. It’s a vicious cycle. A cycle we must stop.

A better commencement speaker for UVM to consider might be someone meek; you’ve got to believe those who’ll inherit the Earth are worth more of a listen than those who believe the Earth is lucky to have them.

I place myself in the former group—the unmeek kind.

Next commencement speech I give, I wish I have nerve enough to buck up and be humble. Maybe I should give the speech I wrote while on a country walk today?

Here goes— “I can spout specifics on things you don’t need to know, but of things you should know; I know no more than you already know. I do not want to waste a minute of your precious future. Thank you.”

I like giving graduation speeches and I’ll keep doing them, for free (so long as I keep getting asked). I won’t say I’m good or bad at it; I’ll just say, I try to be humble, aware of others, and brief.

Do you know I received a polite call from a nice lady in UVM’s president’s office thanking me for thinking of them and offering my services? She said by the time they’d received my note, a speaker had already been chosen. She passed my material on to the committee to consider during next years search. The lady who spoke with me has children in a school where I have given graduation speeches. She’s the main reason I might have a chance to be UVM’s graduation speaker—some day.

It’s not what you know it’s who you know. You can’t get a hit if you don’t swing.

What is there to lose? You never know. All those sayings have merit. Believe me.

LOCAL MUSIC SCENE—Check out Two Brothers Tavern downstairs in downtown Middlebury on Friday, April 30, for an outstanding return engagement of Keven Brisson and the Grift band. The Grift is a Vermont band with a deep catalogue of original music that blends roots-rock, pop and jam. The concert starts at 10 p.m. Admission is $3.

Ilsley meeting includes look at Alistair Cooke The annual meeting of the Friends of Ilsley Library will be held on Wednesday, May 5, at 6:30 p.m., in the library meeting room. This will precede a talk at 7 p.m. by Susan Cooke-Kittredge about her father, Alistair Cooke. This will be the last of the First Wednesday talks for this series. This series sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council is made possible in Middlebury through a grant from the Friends of Ilsley Library.

The Friends have supported library programs with over $25,000 in grants this year. This included appropriating $7,900 for children and adult programs, $11,400 for library equipment and furnishing, $2,000 for the Imagination Library, and $350 for the Friends’ Assistance Program. In addition, $700 was

provided for library landscaping and funds were provided for a reception for volunteers and staff. The First Wednesday lecture series costs $2,500.

The money to do all this comes from a variety of sources. Monthly used book sales provide a steady income thanks to the hard work of Louise Mosher and Don Groll. These are held the first Saturday of each month. In addition, books may be purchased at any time in The Last Word, a small room off the main lobby. Donations of good books are always welcome and may be left at the front desk. Book bags are also available for purchase. A few years ago, the Friends of the library received a bequest. These funds and the interest and earnings they generate help to support the work. In addition, the Friends are

the recipients of annual and occasional gifts from generous patrons.

The Friends of the library is seeking to expand its membership base, which currently stands at about 200. “And what a bargain it is,” according to board member Ray Hudson. “Memberships start at $1 and the reward is to have joined other library patrons in helping to make this great library even greater.”

People who served on the board during this past year were Ann Hennessey, Barbara Blodgett, Lesley Bienvenue, Ray Hudson, Louise Mosher, Lorrie Muller, Sandra Ruvera, and Cynthia Watters. Peg Martin has been the representative from the library board of trustees.

Public notice advertising To the editor: Vermont newspapers can do a better job of telling the public about the fact that we are still read by most people in our communities. People are still reading their local newspapers. Vermont newspaper publishers are now fighting efforts by some state officials to remove public notices from newspapers and to plant them on various state websites. Please join us on Friday, May 28, in Montpelier to speak out against this effort. The Vermont Press Association is hosting a special program May 28—“Access Across America” which features David Cuillier, chairman of the Society of Professional Journalists. He is making a crosscountry tour stopping in 35 states including Vermont.

State workers surfing porn To the editor: For months I have been saying: Where are the State of Vermont layoffs? Where is the downsizing of our state government? This would certainly help our out-ofcontrol Democrat budget shortfall. In the media we constantly hear from our Legislators about how all the current state employees are very busy and needed.

Really? They are so busy that they have time to download pornographic material onto our computers— on our dime?

It is not my intention to label all Vermont state workers in this 'bag'. I know there are state workers who are hard working and dedicated. Those that downloaded the porn have given the rest a black eye.

Here is the $64 question: Why are we forking out $ 120,000 to prevent the porn downloading? Why don't we just fire those involved?

I know that if I ever downloaded porn onto an IBM computer I would have been dismissed immediately.

So why not the state workers? Someone in Montpelier needs to get a back bone.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com Shawn Marcelle tossed a complete-game two-hit shutout with nine strikeouts, at Bristol last Saturday to lead his Mount Abraham Eagles to a 1-0 win over the visiting Spaulding Crimson Tide. The game’s lone run came in the first inning when Sam Lieberman delivered a two-out single that scored Marcelle. Sam Fuller suffered the complete game loss for the Crimson Tide, who fell to 2-3 with the loss. In six innings of work Fuller gave up the lone run on four hits, with seven strikeouts and a pair of walks.

Meanwhile it took the BFASt. Albans Bobwhites just six innings to blast the Middlebury Tigers 17-2. Skyler Bushey led the Bobwhites offense by ripping two triples and driving in three runs. Dylan Newton and Ruben Gilbert added RBI doubles for the Bobwhites, who improved to 3-0 with the win. Matt Wainscott was credited with the win. In his three innings of work Wainscott gave up two runs on five hits with nine strikeouts and five walks.

Kaden Odell drove in both Tiger runs, while Emerson Conlon took the loss for Middlebury.

The Champlain Valley Union Redhawks didn’t fare much better in South Burlington when they took on the undefeated Rice Green Knights. Devon Hathway and Chris McCormick each went 3-for-5 with two RBIs to lead Rice to a 17-4 win. Sean Rugg added two hits and also drove in three for the Green Knights, who put together a twelve hit attack to improve to 4-0 on the year.

The Mount Abraham Eagles softball team also deliverd a one run loss to the Crimson Tide last Saturday in Bristol. With the game tied at 4-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning the hometown Eagles had the bases loaded. Hoping to cut the run down at the plate Spaulding had theur infield drawn in.

Mount Abraham’s Alyssa Charboneau took advantage of that and drove a hit over them to score Courtney Jipner from third and gave Mount Abraham an exciting 5-4 win.

Allison Hayes had a triple and scored twice to Pace the Eagle’s offense. Amber Fay picked up a complete game win on the mound. In seven innings of work Fay gave four runs and four hits, while recording nine strikeouts and issuing just two walks.

Gabrielle Willey had a two run single for the Crimson Tide, who fell to 1-3 on the year. Losing pitcher Chalaun Blanchard gave up five runs on seven hits while striking out five and walking three.

The Middlebury Tigers weren’t so fortunate when they visited St. Albans last Saturday.

Erika Gravelin and Kathryn Howrigan blasted RBI doubles to lead the hometown BFA-St. Albans Comets to a 7-2 thumping over the visiting Middlebury Tigers. Celsey Lum´bra went the distance to pick up the win for the Comets, who improved to 2-1 on the year. Mattea Bagley had two hits for the visiting Tigers and Lea Gipson took the loss.

At South Burlington, Emily Himberg and Heather McLaughlin went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs each to lead the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks to a 10-2 thumping of the Rice Green Knights. Cayla McCarthy picked up the complete game win for CVU who evened their record at 2-2 with the win. In her seven innings of work McCarthy gave up two runs on five hits with ten strikeouts.

Angie Dupont went two-forfour and Kelly Carrull took the loss for Rice, who dropped to 13 on the season.

College sports The Castleton State College Spartans and Middlebury Panthers hooked up for two last Saturday in Castleton.

Sarah Flore singled home Megan Blongy in the fifth inning for the games only run. Ali McAnaney took the loss for the panthers, dropping her to 7-4 on the year despite a strong outing.

Brandon firefighter remembered

By Frederick Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com Brandon firefighter Dewitt Clinton “Brad” Bradbury, Jr., age 74, died April 2 at his home in Brandon.

Bradbury was born in Newark, N.J., on June 23, 1935. He was the son of Dewitt and Anna (Eckert) Bradbury, Sr., he grew up in Union, N.J., where he received his education in local schools.

He was a veteran of the U.S. Army having served in Europe.

Following his honorable discharge he returned home and began a career in the sheet metal fabrication and installation business, for ventilation systems. He retired to Brandon in 1996 moving from Clark, N.J. As a member of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles, he dedicated his time to the Boy Scouts and Sea Explorers.

College fires up new biomass generator station POULTNEY—Green Mountain College joined Middlebury College in pushing for a greener campus when it formally opened a new $5.8 million combined heat and power biomass plant April 22. In his remarks to 300 students, faculty, staff, and community members, president Paul Fonteyn claimed that by next year GMC would beat Middlebury College in being the first Vermont college to reach carbon neutrality after reducing carbon emissions by more than 50 percent. Special guests at a ribbon-cutting ceremony included Vermont Gov. James Douglas.

The new plant will use locallysourced woodchips to provide 85 percent of the school's heat and generate 20 percent of its electricity. Fuel oil will be used mainly as a backup to heat campus buildings. GMC officials claim it will burn about 4,000-5,000 tons of locally harvested woodchips each year as the primary fuel-the $5.8 million plant will allegedly pay for itself over 18 years through savings on fuel costs.

In the new plant, woodchips are fed into a boiler and heated at a very high

Oxygen is added and the gas ignitesthe resulting steam is circulated

through existing pipes for heat and hot water. The steam also activates a turbine which will produce 400,000 kWh of electricity.

Burlington cathedral provides awesome acoutsics

T

he Lane Series is winding down as the second semester winds down, but a striking Concert took place on Friday evening, April 24, at the Redstone Recital Hall. The name of the performers for the evening’s music, the Bowed Piano Ensemble, was more mystifying and failed to cast light upon what was about to take place( we were assured that no piano had been harmed in the preparation of the concert).

Picture this scene: a single piano that is alone at the center of the stage; the keyboard is pointed upstage, its lid removed.

Upon entering the hall, I noted that the area of the strings inside the piano seemed to be cluttered with packages of varying sizes.

Beyond that, nothing was clear to the arriving audience.

All of the performers took assigned positions around the the piano, gazing intently into it; then at a signal, the music began.

The music, silken and satiny, wound its way into the air, needing time to perfume the air with sounds of endless melody. The highlight of the performance was by the soprano soloist, Victoria Hanson, a singular interpretive performer and the focus of poems by Lorca, La Guitarra. It was one of the subtlest combinations of words and music realized by a vocal artist; it was a pleasure to hear.

The principal conductor for the evening was Stephen Scott; he seemed to make things run smoothly. The ensemble merited sustained applause.

There is not enough room here to communicate the truly wondrous performance experience of a work, 400 years old this year, by one of the greatest composer of his time.

The composer in question, Claudio Monteverdi, assembled music that was written for a vesper service that probably never took place exactly as he had planned— where he dedicated the work to the reigning Pope in the hope of being appointed to the papal court as composer in residence. The employment never came, but Monteverdi got one of comparable value in the Republic of Venice,where he stayed until his death 40 years later.

The work is a composite of styles, which

range from the simplicity of chant to the massive double-choir composition that were the product of the location of choir lofts around the basilica.

They also span the period of change from high Renaissance to the developing baroque movement. As a result, the ear is filled with glorious sound throughout the performance.

The acoustics of the Episcopal Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Burlington has differences with the Basilica of St. Mark, yet it shares the incredible acoustics that allow the sound free reign. The tempos used by William Metcalfe directing the chorus and Scott Metcalfe directing the orchestra took advantage of the acoustics of the church, and presented the music in all its splendor.

The choice they made to perform without intermission allowed the audience to experience the music in its fullest power. The music also built, thanks to their having ordered it judiciously, from strength to strength, culminating in the two motets: the glorious Ave Maria Stella, filled with grand polyphonic gestures that reflected relationship that existed between Venice and the Adriatic, and the great Venetian fleet that sailed the sea, making it a power to be reckoned with; and the joyous and dancing Lauda Jerusalem, that concluded the evening.

The soloists, all members of the Oriana Singers, handled their assignments with grace and attention to the melismatic character of their assignments. The instrumental ensemble was really perfect—in fact, when the instrumentalists had begun to play their first interpolated work, a Sonata a 4 by the Venetian composer Riccio, some members of the audience snapped to attention as they became aware especially of the recorders.

The chorus itself has never sung better—

THE EAGLE - 11

its attention to detail has always been notable, but this time they outdid themselves.

The performers were as lively at the conclusion of the last psalm and as fresh vocally as they had been at the outset.

The Metcalfe family continues to share its musical vision with our community by giving us performances that aptly reflect their devotion both to the scholarliness of their undertakings as well as the emotional drive

that informs performances of great music.

The audience in turn reflects back to them their appreciation of all that they have done for the musical community in Vermont. And what they have accomplished is worthy of appreciation and thanks.

Burlington resident Dan Wolfe observes and critiques the local arts scene for The Eagle. His column appears weekly.

Take time to plan your garden this season

By Dr. Leonard 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?

‘This Week’s Real Estate Opportunities In The Region’

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 - 13

Sanders supports bank breakups Public input wanted As the U.S. Senate considers new rules for the nation’s financial institutions—while ignoring Republican calls to reform the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae)—Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said that breaking up big banks is critical to meaningful reform.

“One of the major components of any serious Wall Street reform has got to be breaking up the largest financial institutions in the country. The time has come to do exactly what Teddy Roosevelt did back in the trustbusting days and break up these huge financial institutions,” Sanders said.

Sanders said the giant financial institutions must be dismantled not only to protect taxpayers from future bailouts, but because the concentration of ownership in the financial sector is leading to fewer choices, higher bank fees, and higher credit card interest rates.

“Not only are too big to fail financial institutions bad for taxpayers, the enormous concentration of ownership in the financial sector has led to higher bank fees, usurious interest rates on credit cards, and fewer

choices for consumers,” Sanders said.

Sanders said three out of the four biggest American banks —Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America—are larger today than they were before taxpayers bailed them out as the economy collapsed in 2008.

Combined with Citigroup, the four largest U.S. banks now write half of the mortgages, issue two-thirds of the credit cards, and hold $7.4 trillion in assets, more than half the nation’s economic output.

In addition to breaking up big banks, Sanders has said financial reform legislation should cap credit card interest rates, end Federal Reserve secrecy, separate financial institutions’ gambles on derivatives so any losses would not be covered by federal banking insurance, and reform Wall Street to support job-creating small and medium-size businesses starved for affordable credit.

Sanders was silent this week regarding Republican calls to reform Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. According to Republicans, both entities have proven exceptionally adept at lobbying the Democrat-controlled Congress to preserve and enhance their privileges.

SATURDAY May 1, 2010

Experts predict sharp rise in Vermont electric rates Speaking at a Montpelier energy forum April 22, several energy experts described in detail the electric transmission challenges, job and economic losses, and electricity rate increases that are likely to result if Vermont Yankee closes in 2012.

The experts spoke to about 40 Vermont business, agriculture and labor leaders at the “Good Energy Policy Is Good Economic Policy” forum, sponsored by Local Chapter 300 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Vermont Energy Partnership.

Eric Wilkinson, external affairs spokesperson for ISO-New England warned of resulting transmission overload and low voltage, both of which would damage equipment and cause cascading power disruptions. ISO-New England manages the “grid” of New England transmission and generation.

Based on his recent study economist Richard Heaps described the eventual loss of 1,288 Vermont jobs and $93 million in annual payroll. In particular, Windham County, already hard-hit by the recession, would lose more than 1,000 jobs with $84 million in annual payroll.

Electricity rates could increase well over 30 percent depending on what forms of power replace Vermont Yankee, energy planner Dr. Howard J. Axelrod described as a result of his updated analysis.

Vermont faces electric transmission challenges regardless of whether Vermont Yankee closes, Wilkinson stressed, but also noted that the overload and low voltage scenarios he described will be worse if Vermont Yankee is taken offline.

Wilkinson also emphasized that Vermont may experience higher prices for ISO’s “system power” generated out-of-state should the loss of Vermont Yankee force the system to buy power from more expensive power plants, which is a strong possibility, he said. The other New England states would effectively penalize Vermont ratepayers for removing Vermont Yankee’s low-cost power. A comprehensive ISO-New England study of transmission and cost challenges associated with Vermont Yankee’s possible closing is expected to be concluded by the end of 2010, Wilkinson said.

A February 2010 study by Heaps found that 1,288 Vermont jobs would be lost if Vermont Yankee closes. This figure combines plant employees, vendors and contractors who benefit directly from the plant’s operation as well as local businesses in an around the plant.

Heaps, president of Northern Economic Consulting of Westford, said the impact would be acute in Windham County, which he said is becoming as jobs-challenged a region as the Northeast Kingdom.

Windham the state’s most southeastern county and home of Vermont Yankee has lost jobs every year since 1999. Median family income is fourth lowest of Vermont’s 14 counties.

As one of the few recession-resistant employers, Vermont Yankee’s loss would take a devastating toll on an already struggling local economy, he said. Additionally, the state would lose roughly $15 million in annual tax revenues and $93 million in annual payroll.

Axelrod has found that closing Vermont Yankee would lead to overall electricity price increases of 19-39 percent, depending on the type of replacement fuels that are used.

Axelrod discussed the factors affecting price increases. Axelrod’s updated analysis of electric costs and replacement power is expected to be available in the coming weeks.
