Orwell sisters win VPT writers contest
Coons memorial remembers man, service to By Ann Curran ORWELL – Headlines of the week: “A tailcommunity less possum finds that love is more important MIDDLEBURY – The community remembered Addison County Sheriff James B. Coons at a special memorial service at Meade Chapel April 30. Coons, 59, died April 16, at his home following a brief illness. A private burial for family and friends will take place at a later date. Family members and friends, as well as coworkers, attended the service. Several spoke publically about Coons and his long and distinguished service to law enforcement in Vermont. Born in Middlebury June 11, 1952, Coons was the son of the late Morton A. and Bette (Galgas) Coons. He was a graduate of Middlebury Union High School, class of 1970 and Champlain College, Burlington. He was a lifelong resident of Middlebury. Coons started a successful career with the Middlebury Police Department in 1972 and served with that force for 10 years including assuming the role of Acting Chief prior to being elected Sheriff in 1982. He started serving his tenure in February 1983 as sheriff and was the longest term sheriff currently serving in that role in the State of Vermont. He was a member of and past president of Vermont Sheriffs Association; a member and Past President of the Vermont Police Association of which he was a lifetime member; a member of the National Sheriffs Association and frequently represented law enforcement in the state legislature for the State of Vermont. Coons was a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. See COONS, page 13

With crayons, paint, colored paper and unlimited imagination, 12 creative children in kindergarten, first, second and third grade earned top honors in Vermont Public Television’s “2012 PBS Kids Go Writers Contest”. The educational outreach project encourages youngsters to celebrate the power of writing and illustrating original storybooks. Chuck Pizer, VPT’s community engagement director, and content assistant Judy Gordon organized the event, which had 198 entries. Pizer said, “Children are at the heart of VPT’s mission. We help them get ready to learn when they’re pre-school age, and we’re with them as they grow. This contest has been a signature event for us for 17 years. It’s a treat to honor some of our talented local kids.” VPT provides children, parents and educators with 53 hours a week of PBS programming for kids, along with online and mobile resources, and community activities like the contest. The winners and honorable mentions are: KindergartenWinner: “Tiger Goes to the Moon” by Matthew Smith, Barre, Vt. See TWINS, page 13

BRISTOL – When paralyzed combat soldiers, sailors and airmen returned to the home front following World War II, many faced a future confined to wheelchairs. Anxiety and deep frustration confronted many returning paralyzed veterans who had enjoyed active lives before the war. But even confined to wheelchairs, many of the vets didn't let that fact define the rest of their lives. Thus began a series of wheelchair games which included ping pong and bowling appearing in

the late 1940s. Wheelchair basketball began with the first documented game of hoops played by the New England Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America versus the California Chapter in December of the year following war's end. The sport soon spread to Canada and overseas. Today, it's no longer a game just for vets; even women have become key players in the often co-ed match ups. Wheelchair basketball has a long history of Vermont, too, and you can join the fun with family and friends on Friday, May 4, at 6:30 p.m. at Mt. Abraham Union High School Gym. Local wheelchair bombers, the Holy Rollers of Bristol, will face off against the Green Mountain See BASKETBALL, page 13

Selecting Vermont’s best crabapples Dr. Leonard Perry
University of Vermont Extension Few woody plants offer such value to landscapes and wildlife as do the flowering crabapples, with such variety in flowers and fruits and multi-season interest. These qualities make them one of the most popular small flowering trees. Just make sure in your selections to choose ones resistant to diseases. Newer introductions are often the best bets. In the spring, the showy blossoms make their appearance in mid to late May before the lilacs bloom. Although actual time of bloom will vary from year to year, depending on temperature, a total bloom period of up to four weeks can be expected. The bloom period of an individual crabapple cultivar (cultivated variety) may vary from a few days to almost two weeks, depending on weather conditions. Crabapple buds may be pink or red, and the open blossoms of the various crabapples may range from white to dark purplish red, with many variations of pink and red in between. Most crabapples have single flowers; a few have semi-double or double blossoms but bear fewer fruit. Some good choices with white flowers include ‘Adirondack’, Camelot, ‘Centennial’, ‘Dolgo’, ‘Donald Wyman’, Guinevere, HarvestGold, Lancelot, Molten Lava, ‘Professor Sprenger ’, ‘Red Swan’, Sargent, Sugar Tyme, and ‘Tina’. Some good choices with pink flowers include ‘Louisa’, ‘Robinson’, and ‘Strawberry Parfait’. For red flowers, consider Centurion, ‘Prairifire’, or ‘Purple Prince’. Most crabapples have attractive green foliage with solid margins, except for the deeply cut leaves of Golden Raindrops. Some have a distinct reddish or bronze leaf color for the first month or so of the growing season, while others retain the reddish coloration throughout the season as with ‘Purple Prince’. Some crabapple cultivars even have ornamental gold to yellow fall colors as with ‘Calocarpa’ and Lancelot. Crabapple fruits are two inches or less in diameter. The color ranges from bright red to purple and from bright yellow to orange, with intermediate shades and combinations. Fruits of some cultivars begin to color in August, while others do not reach their true color until September or October. Good choices for red fruit include ‘Adirondack’ (orangered), Camelot, Centurion (cherry red), ‘Donald Wyman’, Guinevere, Molten Lava (orange-red), ‘Prairiefire’ (purplered), ‘Professor Sprenger ’ (orange-red), ‘Purple Prince’ (maroon), ‘Red Swan’, ‘Robinson’ (dark red), Sargent, ‘Tina’, and Sugar Tyme. Good choices for yellow to golden fruit include ‘Centennial’ (red-yellow), ‘Dolgo’ (red-yellow), Golden Raindrops, HarvestGold, Lancelot, ‘Louisa’, and ‘Strawberry Parfait’. Fruits of some cultivars ripen and drop by the end of August, while others may still be present (“persistent”) in spring. If you don’t want a landscape littered with fruit in the fall, look for those with persistent fruit such as ‘Donald Wyman’, ‘Professor Sprenger ’, Guinevere, Lancelot, Sugar Tyme, or ‘Tina’. When choosing crabapples, consider not only your preference for flowers and fruits, but where they’ll be planted. Make sure the soil is well-drained and doesn’t get water-

logged. They’ll flower and fruit best in full sun, but will tolerate a few hours of shade per day only with fewer flowers (and so fewer fruits). If planted near a walk, or close to where they’ll be viewed, consider ones with persistent red and small fruits, upright habit, or with fragrant flowers (such as ‘Donald Wyman’, ‘Prairie Fire’, or Sargent). If planted farther away, consider ones with larger and yellow fruits. White flowers and yellow fruits blend better with evergreens, dark stone, or red brick buildings. White flowers and red fruits blend nicely with lighter natural color backgrounds such as light brown and wood. Flowering crabapple trees are generally 15 to 20 feet tall. The Round Table Series with names such as Camelot, Guinevere, and Lancelot, reach about 10 feet tall. Most crabapples are rounded or vase-shaped, but growth habit varies widely from columnar such as with ‘Adirondack’ to weeping as with ‘Louisa’ or ‘Red Swan’. About the only insect that might be a serious problem in
some areas is the Japanese Beetle. Cultivars that have shown high resistance to this include Centurion, HarvestGold, ‘Louisa’, and ‘Prairie Fire’. Diseases are a much greater problem on many crabapples than insects, particularly on older cultivars. Many of the newer cultivars have been bred for resistance to the four main diseases which are the same as you’ll encounter with regular apples—scab, fireblight, cedar apple rust, and powdery mildew. All the above cultivars have good to excellent disease resistance. If diseases generally aren’t a problem in your area, or you can tolerate some leaf diseases, there are many more cultivar choices. Beware of cheap trees at chain stores, as often these have few if any roots, and may only recently have been potted (basically a “bare root” plant). Visit your local nursery or full-service garden store for proven local cultivars with good disease resistance and good roots.

That’s something else Vermont’s tick invasion From the Editor
T
he weather seems to be on our minds lately, especially with the arrival of cooler than normal temperatures for the merry month of May. Certainly April’s weather was less than spectacular considering how so much of March resembled the beginning of June in warmth and sunshine. It gave us all a false spring with the promise of better days ahead. The return to less than springlike weather is “payback time”–I hear that phrase often from my more fatalistic friends. Well, now there seems to be some more “payback” with Vermont’s growing tick infestation; payback after so many decades of little concern about ticks and Lyme disease in the Green Mountain State. Payback or not, we can’t stress more the importance of using the oily chemical DEET spray when working in the garden, mowing the lawn, or going for walks in meadows and woodlands. So many anti-tick folk remedies we see available locally, everything from citronella tinctures to fancy hand lotions, try to tackle the tick problem but are, we’re afraid, useless against warding off these nasty multi-legged parasites. For when it comes to preventing
vampirish ticks from burrowing their heads beneath your skin, DEET is the only effective “cure” around. Many people find DEET, known by chemists as N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, to be noxious on a variety of levels from its chemical scent to its effect on the human skin (and automobile paint finishes and plastic eyewear. for sure). While the jury is still out on DEET’s longterm impact on the human nervous system, it appears to be the only truly effective chemical that repels ticks and mosquitoes. If you have reservations about applying DEET to your skin and clothing, consider the alternative of a deer tick bite and possibly contracting Lyme disease. This bacterial disease, transmitted via tick bites, can be extremely debilitating over the course of a lifespan. While antibiotics are effective early on, not noticing a tick bite can be a costly gamble with your long-term health. And if you own pets that roam outdoors, contact an animal doctor for what’s best to protect them. It seems that applying DEET spray or lotion, at least for now, is the price we must pay for protection against ticks and mosquitoes. Lou Varricchio
BIG FISH – Jacob Downey of Rutland caught the mother of brown trout in Sudbury April 14. While casting in the Otter Creek at 8 a.m., the Rutland angler landed this 31-inch long, 16 pound, five ounce behemoth. The catch was filed in the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department’s Fisheries Program as an adult entry. The fish was harvested by Downey, a master angler. Very good eats, we’d say.

resented a very brief talk to participants, family, friends, organizers, and volunteers, at the start of this spring’s Vermont’s Special Olympics. Before the games commenced all the participants recited their credo: ‘Let me be brave in the attempt’ Let me be brave in the attempt. I’m going to remember that line. That’s something else. Light skinned folks absorb more vitamin D from the sun than those with Dark skin, hence dark skinned folks face more risk than light skinned folks of being vitamin D deficient. That’s the opposite of what I’d think. That’s something else. “At least he died doing what he loved,” is what folks will say if say, a tennis teacher dies playing tennis. I think the opposite is true. If I love doing something, the last thing I want to do is die while I’m doing it. I want to die doing something I hate … going to a wedding. While working on a computer, writing, accounting, researching, doing work you’re paid to do, you’re only a tap of the finger away from wasting time. Beware. While hand digging a grave, with pick and shovel, there’s nothing to tempt you into wasting time. You get the job done. That’s something else. I was pretty old before I knew raisins are dried grapes. True. I was old before I knew it is “Or ’e” the land of the free, not “For” the land of the free. True. I just recently learned lightning is ground to air, not the air to ground. That’s something else. A survey revealed, Vermont, is the least religious state in the Union. Gosh. Someday we’ll all be keeping detailed personal health records on our hand-held devises, and we’ll be the better for it. That’s progress. We’re all about “I love you,” “I love her/him,” “she says she’s falling in love with me,” “I was in love with her,” “it’s
love,” “we’re in love,” yet we don’t understand people, and if someone held a gun to our head we’d not be able to describe love, really. That’s something else. Guy or gal doesn’t like some guy or gal. Then the guy or gal the first guy or gal doesn’t like, does something that directly benefits the first guy or gal who doesn’t like the guy or gal who did the thing that benefited the first guy or gal. Without hesitation, the first guy or gal will like the second guy or gal. We’re all both the first and second guys or gals. But mostly we’re the first. You follow? Do you understand the basics of type-1 and type-2 diabetes? I do. I won’t explain it, it would take too much space in the column. I’ll just say, type-2 diabetes, through diet and exercise, can be reversed and cured. That’s something else. My cat Scarlet runs on my wood floors and stairs, fast, to the point just below losing control and crashing. Cats are agile. After my dad died, his and mom’s cat Herbie, didn’t get up in dad’s recliner for a month. That was Herbie’s way of mourning dad. Cats are keen. Most of us will live and die without knowing what a single one of the “nine” are, that have supposedly been saved by a “stitch in time.” People are the root of all evil. Money isn’t. Money is numbers, paper, and metal. If there’s a rain cloud with rain falling from it on the forecast board, some people go about their day according to how rain will affect it. No too smart. From Maria’s list of favorite things, “schnitzel with noodles” are my least favorite, while “silver white winters that melt into spring” are my favorite. Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly.

Woodchuck cuts a check for $12,672
Earth Week Campaign for Trees
By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — It wasn’t exactly a $12,662 check you could fold and stuff in your billfold. In fact, to endorse this titanic note, you’d need one of those gag-gift giant Accourtrements wooden pencils just to round out the scale of the thing. Of course, President and CEO Bret Williams of Woodchuck Cider in Middlebury didn’t intend the giant check he displayed on Exchange Street last week to be dragged to the bank. But it was a catchy way to make a point. On behalf of Woodchuck’s Earth Week Campaign, 12,672 trees will be planted in the United States; trees to help purify the air we breathe. “American Forests will plant 12,672 trees on behalf of Woodchuck Hard Cider, and our fans,” according to Williams. “It’s the result of an Earth Week campaign in which Woodchuck agreed to plant two trees for every new Facebook ‘like’ received between April 16-22.” According to Woodchuck’s Facebook page, 6,336 fans were added in just one week–an enviable social network achievement by any terms. “It is a testament to our fans commitment to a better planet,” Williams noted. “Throughout the rest of 2012, wildfire ravaged areas in California, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Oregon will be replanted. Additional trees will be planted in Arkansas to repair severe tornado damage.” The nation’s number one hard cider maker marks its third year of a unique partnership with American Forests and the Global ReLeaf program. In those three years Woodchuck has donated a total of 34,722 trees, according to a Woodchuck news statement. “These campaigns are at the core of our commitment to environmental stewardship. We are honored that so many fans are aligned not only with our products, but our values as a company,” said Williams. A letter from American Forests to the fans of Woodchuck Hard Cider appears on the company website. In the meantime, fans of the award-winning Vermontmade cider can relax and know that their support of the company’s Earth Week Campaign has made terra firma a little more greener.
Middlebury 'Bachanalia' attracts big audience
MIDDLEBURY — The second annual Middlebury Bach Festival wrapped up this week featuring music ensemble Artek and members of the New York Baroque Dance Company. Students from Middlebury College and local musicians are performed a wide variety of works by 18th-century classical music master Johann Sebastian Bach. Three days of musical events brought the college and Town of Middlebury together. This year's event attracted a larger audience than 2011's event. The event is modeled after the way the famous composer worked in Leipzig over 275 years ago, according to Festival organizer Jeffrey Buettner. Next year's Bach event will be held in April although specific dates have yet to be announced.
OFF, OFF BROADWAY – If you love show tunes, you’ll love “Scenes and Songs: A Sampling of Musical Theatre from Opera to Broadway” at Middlebury College. The student produced showboat of hits will be held Saturday, May 12, 8 p.m., in the Mahaney Center for the Arts, Concert Hall. Talented music students will present a lively evening of musical theater from opera to Broadway. The event is free to the public and sponsored by the Department of Music.
Bixby Library celebrates 100 years By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com VERGENNES — Seven months after the sinking of the RMS Titanic in April 1912, which celebrated its worldwide memorial centennial last month, the Bixby Memorial Library in Vergennes opened its doors to the public with considerable fanfare. Located on Main Street in downtown Vergennes this small public library, from its glass dome to its front facade of Grecian columns, is a classic example of Beaux Arts-style architecture rarely seen in Vermont. The Beaux Arts style is a neoclassical architectural style that was taught at the École des Beaux-Arts School in Paris during the late 19th and early centuries. This building style, while heavily influencing the architecture in great cities such as New York, London and Paris between 1880 and 1920, was mostly ignored in rural Vermont. However, the Bixby is a grand, local testament to a vanished pre-war era of elegance and style. On Saturday, May 12, 6:30-10 p.m., you can help celebrate
the centennial of the Bixby Memorial Library at the institution’s annual gala to be held at Basin Harbor Club on Lake Champlain in Ferrisburgh. Fine food, music, dancing demonstrations, a silent auction, and raffle items will be part of the evening festivities. According to the library, this year ’s galla theme will be “Happy Birthday, Bixby Library”. The event kicks off a yearlong centennial. Gala music will be provided by Chris Wyckoff, Justin Levinson and the Little City Jazz Band. Dancing will begin at 8:15 and if you don’t feel like dancing you can instead watch one of several dance demonstrations by Jim Condon and others illustrating various decades since 1912. A silent auction, featuring items from local artisans and businesses will be on display. A raffle drawing includes two tickets and transportation to a Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway Park (Fenway Park also celebrates its centennial along with a Red Sox 1912 World Series appearance.) Bixby Gala tickets are available in Vergennes at the library as well as at Linda’s Apparel and at People’s United Bank in both Vergennes and Middlebury. Call 877-2211 for tickets and information.
Lack of volunteers may end Bristol School program From Staff & News Reports BRISTOL – When you mention Four Winds to a child at Bristol Elementary their face lights up and they begin to talk excitedly about classroom experiments like discovering how water drops form on a penny and how a paperclip can float on the top of water. Founded in 2006, Four Winds Nature Institute is a non-profit organization advancing the understanding, appreciation and protection of the environment through community-based natural science education. But given all Four Winds’ positive activities and learning benefits, the program is in danger of closing in Bristol. “The problem is a shortage of in-class volunteers,” according to Carolyn Knight, current program coordinator and long-time volunteer. “Everyone loves the program but we are having a hard time getting the community volunteers we need to keep the program going.” Approximately 34 volunteers are needed in order for every class at BES to have the program. But even if every class couldn’t have the program we would still need at least 24 volunteers to even be able to continue. Currently we have eight regulars,”, she noted. “Parents are very busy and often feel like they may not be able to commit to
Carolyn Knight and children at the Bristol Elementary School’s Four Winds program. The program may close without an infusion of in-class volunteers. the two hours of training a month and the two hours of teaching in the classrooms,” said Porter Knight, another parent volunteer “But I have been doing this for years and it’s actually very easy and so fulfilling.”
There’s still hope for the program but in-class volunteers are needed to sustain it. If you are interested, contact program coordinator Knight at 4537166.

Benson Mormon temple is now a home
ORWELL — Eighteen members of the Orwell Fortnightly Club, an Orwell-based chapter of the national women’s organization, met at the home of Linda Oaks and Rita Baccei in Shoreham last week. Guest speaker for the meeting was Sue Gilmore of Benson, an expert about the 19th century Mormon movement that took place in the Town of Benson. Gilmore currently lives in the historic Mormon temple which later served a school and is now her family’s home. Additions have been added to the original structure making it livable. Gilmore’s father spent many hours researching the history of the local Mormon temple and then wrote a book about the movement in Vermont. According to the Mormon Church News, “The first LatterDay saint to visit Vermont was Jared Carter. In October 1831, he returned to his hometown of Benson to preach to relatives and other members of a Free Will Baptist congregation. “Twenty-seven members of the Benson group were baptized by Carter and a Mormon branch was organized before Carter's mission ended in January 1832. “Later in 1832, Carter preached in several other communities on both sides of the Green Mountains and baptized over 100 more converts. Also during 1832-33, Orson Pratt and Lyman Johnson visited numerous Vermont towns and baptized more than 40 people.” Latter-Day Saints in Vermont tend to identify closely with early Church history, according to Gilmore, in part because of renewed emphasis in recent years on the Joseph Smith Birthplace Memorial in Sharon, Vt. In 1988, to give added prominence to the Sharon site, an annual Christmas lighting program was begun; a lodge, covered pavilion, 15 log cabins, and other facilities were dedicated as a place for Latter-Day Saints from across the United States to stay while visiting the Vermont site, as well as
Linda Oaks, Linda Martin, Loretta Lee and other Fornightly Club members joined Vermont Mormon expert Sue Gilmore (not pictured) at Oaks home in Shoreham. for priesthood leadership meetings, youth conferences, and other activities sponsored by church units in New England and eastern Canada. There are approximately 4,000 Mormons in Vermont. At last week’s meeting, Lindy Brown, a member of the Orwell Fortnightly group, as well as the president of the Vermont Federation, installed new officers for the next club
year. New officers include Loretta Lee, president, Linda Oaks, vice president, Cheryl Weseman, secretary and Linda Martin, treasurer. The club will meet May 8 at Café Provence in Brandon for the annual banquet. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be in October. New members are welcome.

National Forest wind project to move ahead From Staff & News Reports
newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND – U.S. Department of Agriculture Eastern Regional Forester Chuck Myers, acting as appeal deciding officer, upheld Forest Supervisor Colleen Madrid’s decision to select an alternative to approve the construction of a 15-turbine wind energy facility on the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont, which will provide enough electricity to power about 13,000 homes annually. Myers’ decision is in response to four of seven administrative appeals received during a 45-day appeal period that ended on February 24. Two appeals were withdrawn during informal disposition meetings between the Forest Service and individual appellants. One appeal was dismissed due to the appellant not submitting comments during two separate public comment periods, prior to filing an appeal. Major concerns raised in the appeals included effects of the wind turbine facility on black bears, bats, and birds, as well as visual and noise concerns. Regional Forester Myers’ decision to uphold Madrid’s decision includes specific direction to consider information in an updated U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report on
the effects of white-nose syndrome on bat mortality, issued on Jan. 17. The announcement is based on a review of the individual appeals relative to the forest’s extensive environmental analysis and record of decision for the proposal to construct and operate a commercially viable, utility-scale wind energy facility on the national forest in the towns of Searsburg, and Readsboro. The proposed wind facility would be next to the Searsburg Wind Facility operated by Green Mountain Power Company on private land. The facility will consist of 15 2.0 megawatt turbines that will stand 389 feet tall, from the ground to blade tip. The turbines are expected to produce approximately 92,506 MWh with a nameplate capacity of 30 megawatts. The Green Mountain National Forest accepted the formal application from Deerfield Wind, LLC, owned by Iberdrola Renewables, in November 2004. For projects of this magnitude, the Forest Service is required to conduct a National Environmental Policy Act review process, which includes in-depth analysis, scientific studies, and public participation. The Forest Service began the NEPA process for the proposal in July 2005. A similarly required state review process conducted by the Vermont Public Service Board formally began in 2007. The board concluded its
Have the
review in July 2009, with a decision to approve construction and operation of a 15turbine configuration, subject to specific conditions. Three other alternatives were considered through the federal NEPA process, in addition to the selected alternative. These alternatives included: The original proposal presented by the applicant, known as the Proposed Action, was to construct 17 state-of-the-art 2.0 megawatts turbines. Ten turbines would have been constructed on the west ridge and seven would have been constructed on the east ridge, adjacent to the existing Searsburg Wind Facility. The anticipated annual electricity generation for this alternative would have been approximately 99,776 MWh, with a total nameplate capacity of 34 megawatts, enough to meet the annual needs of 14,000 average homes. Another alternative, known as Alternative 3, would have built 7 turbines on the east ridge and no turbines on the west ridge. This alternative would produce approximately 41,084 MWh, with a nameplate capacity of 14 megawatts, enough to meet the annual needs of about 5,800 average homes. A “No Action” alternative, which is required by law and federal regulation. The U.S. Forest Service intends to authorize the project by issuing a special use per-
mit to Deerfield Wind, LLC to use up to 80 acres of National Forest System land. A special use permit will also be issued to Central Vermont Public Service to facilitate the distribution of the power generated by the project over the transmission lines that it currently owns. The Green Mountain National Forest is required by regulation to wait 15 days after Regional Forester Myers’ decision is issued, before it issues a special use permit or otherwise allows implementation of the project. Once constructed, this would be the first commercial-scale wind energy project on National Forest System lands.
Letter to the Editor To the editor: I would like to congratulate and welcome the 38 new U.S. citizens recently sworn in New Haven. The various countries they have come from is amazing. I would like to urge them all to consider either opening restaurants and making New Haven the international cuisine capital of Vermont or to cook and sell their many incredible home country specialties for us Vermonters. Best wishes to them all. David B. Shalek, Vergennes

Rep. Peter Welch fights for energy tax credit extension By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com
Addison restaurant robbed ADDISON — Burglars forced their way into the Bridge Restaurant in Addison on April 22 sometime around 10 p.m. Thieves stole cash before fleeing the scene. Police did not disclose the amount of money stolen and apparently there were no eyewitnesses. If you have information regarding this incident, call Vermont State Police at 388-4919.
Rep. Peter Welch tending the tax credit through 2016. “Every day that Congress allows the extension of the PTC to hang in limbo costs the U.S. investments in renewable energy, our place in the competitive global market and the creation of new green jobs,” Welch said. In the news statement, Welch claimed that, nationwide, the PTC has kick-started domestic manufacturing while adding 75,000 new green jobs in the wind-energy sector alone. As part of his House testimony last week, Welch noted that, because of the uncertainty facing the status of the PTC, wind measurement equipment maker NRG of Hinesburg has had a 50 percent drop in its U.S. orders during the past few months.

MIDDLEBURY – From Vermont’s legislature to the governor and state’s Washington delegation, alternative energy is near the top of the list of political action items. With the national alternative tax-credit, or Production Tax Credit (PTC) at peril, state politicians and some business leaders are taking notice. According to U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D) of Vermont, the PTC provides tax incentives to companies that generate wind, geothermal and other types of renewable energy. The PTC is set to expire at the end of 2012 and many of Vermont energy businesses are worried. Vermont U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D) has taken the initiative to fight to extend the credit in Congress. “Due in part to the PTC, Vermont was the second fastest growing state for wind installations in 2011, growing at over 650 percent, but the growth will likely taper off by the end of 2012,” according to a news statement from the Congressman’s office last week. At a Ways and Means Committee hearing last week, Welch took the House podium to call on fellow representatives to support ex-

Some outdoor wood boilers in Vt. must be retired by Dec. 31 MIDDLEBURY – Many older outdoor wood-fired boilers (OWBs) that are not certified to meet Vermont’s emissions standards are required by law to be permanently retired by the end of 2012. Specifically, uncertified OWBs that are located within 200 feet of a residence, school or healthcare facility, not served by the OWB, must be removed and destroyed by Dec. 31. To assist Vermonter ’s with complying with the new law, the Vermont Air Pollution Control Division is offering a voluntary OWB Change-out Program that provides financial incentives to encourage the replacement of old OWBs with cleaner, more efficient heating units. Smoke emitted from traditional OWBs has been linked with severe localized pollution and adverse health effects. New certified OWBs sold for use in Vermont today emit 70-90 percent less pollution, and cleaner air means fewer cases of asthma and other health problems caused by wood smoke. In addition, uncertified OWBs are traditionally one of the least-efficient of all heating systems. However, newer, certified OWBs are much more efficient. “Having an older-model outdoor wood boiler is only about 30% efficient compared to 70% efficiency for new-model OWBs,” said Phil Etter of the Vermont APCD. Most OWBs sold in Vermont before March
31, 2008 create significant amounts of smoke, which often results in complaints from neighbors. “One way you can look at this is as a friendly-neighbor program,” said Dick Valentinetti of the APCD. “On the one hand you have an OWB owner who spent good money to get what he thought was a moneysaving system, and on the other hand you have unhappy neighbors who don’t get any of the heat benefits but get all of the pollution effects. This program exists to help both parties.” The APCD, through their voluntary Outdoor Wood Boiler Change-Out Program, is offering financial incentives to encourage people to replace their old, uncertified OWBs with these updated systems or with other more efficient heating units. The Vermont APCD is currently accepting applications from existing owners of uncertified OWBs that are located within 200 feet of a residence, school or healthcare facility that is not served by the OWB. Rebate vouchers will be issued on a first come, first served basis. Eligible replacement heating systems under the OWB Change-out Program include: Vermont Phase II certified OWBs (including pellet boilers), propane or natural gas furnaces and boilers; indoor wood or pellet boilers as approved by the APCD, or alternative heating systems, such as geothermal heat pumps, as approved by the APCD.
