New Haven teen attacked in the shower
Vermont’s looming energy sinkhole By John McClaughry newmarketpress@denpubs.com
In a scene similar to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960s thriller movie “Psycho”, Nicholas Clause, age 38, a former boyfriend of an unidentified 19year-old female victim, forcefully entered the young woman’s residence in New Haven and attacked her in a bathroom as she was showering. A struggle ensued and the accused assaulted the victim physically and sexually. The victim escaped her attacker and fled the residence and flagged down a passing vehicle and the occupants of that vehicle were able to call Vermont State Police. Clause fled on his motorcycle prior to the arrival of troopers. State Police responded to the scene and spoke with the victim. She was transported to Porter Hospital in Middlebury by rescue for evaluation. Clause was later apprehended in Rutland City and is lodged at the Marble Valley Correctional Center.
COUNTRY STAR—Jimmy Fortune of the Statler Brothers will perform a solo acoustic concert at 8 p.m. , Friday, May 14, at the Vergennes Opera House in Vergennes, Vt. A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, he will be making his first appearance in New England since the Statler Brothers retired. Seating is general admission, with doors opening at 7:20 p.m. Media sponsor for the show is WOKO 98.9 FM Country Radio.
MONTPELIER—A sizable and vocal group of Vermont energy activists may be pleased to see the state legislature shut down the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station. But they have no idea how to replace its energy and economic contribution to the state. Voting Yankee “off the island” will not get rid of the need for the 285 megawatts of dependable base load power that it delivers to Vermont utilities each year at bargain prices. Despite over $30 million extracted each year from electric ratepayers to finance Efficiency Vermont, energy savings from conservation are not likely to cancel the growth in electricity consumption as the region emerges from the recession. Where will the needed energy come from? Alternative energy activists say “wind power”, but proposed wind projects have already been stymied by local opposition in Londonderry, Sutton and Ira. A strong proposal for four turbines
at the abandoned radar base atop of East Haven Mountain was killed off by a PSB requirement that the promoter spend tons of money to assess the potential threat to birds and bats. VELCO, the state's transmission utility, estimates that inland wind turbines deliver about 15 percent of their rated capacity. That means the New England ISO power grid operators have to have lots of reserve power readily available when the wind inconveniently stops blowing. Howard Axelrod, an independent power grid consulting engineer, has estimated that Vermont would need at least 800 Mw of installed wind power to replace Yankee's 285 Mw. That indicates at least 400 2 Mw-rated turbines would need to be erected on Vermont ridgelines, plus all the transmission lines and access roads. It would take at least five years to replace Yankee with a combined cycle natural gas plant, burning gas brought up by nonexistent pipelines from Massachusetts. Such plants work well, but put the grid at the mercy of

Clean up after last week’s freak snowstorm Several inches of heavy wet snow April 27-28 brought down thousands of trees throughout Vermont. The trees have created more than 20,000 power outages statewide, and created driving hazards in some areas. Trees, branches, and power lines have been reported downed in roadways throughout the state; those on the roads today should exercise caution due to difficult road conditions and the possibility of debris or trees in the road. Most power outages were reported in Addison, Chittenden and Franklin counties. The weight of the snow made snow removal hazardous. Towns in need of financial assistance are encouraged to call Vermont Emergency Management at 800-347-0488. The public can call 211 for information.

THE EAGLE - 3
Dr. Alan Bean: America’s uncertain future in space Apollo 12 was the second NASA mission to land humans on the Moon in November 1969. Of 12’s three crewmen— astronauts Pete Conrad, Alan Bean and Dick Gordon—only Conrad and Bean took the Lunar Module to the surface of the Moon, landed, and walked on the cratered Ocean of Storms. Bean also spent two months in the weightless environment aboard Skylab 3 in 1973. He had planned to pilot the space shuttle but decided to retire in 1980, one year before the first shuttle flew in space. Apollo 12 made space history a long time ago. Best remembered for lightning striking the giant Saturn 5 rocket on takeoff, Apollo 12 is also notable for its pinpoint landing next to the abandoned Surveyor 2 robot spacecraft and for returning a lunar rock that chemically matched some tektites found on Earth. Only Alan Bean and Dick Gordon survive, both men on the cusp of 80. Pete Conrad, one of the most colorful NASA astronauts from the old days, died in a motorcycle accident a few years ago. Today, only Alan Bean actively speaks about the historic mission and what it was like to be the fourth man on the Moon. An accomplished artist, Bean paints lunar scenes both realistic and fanciful; his canvases are highly collectible and command thousands of dollars per head at art auctions. Alan Bean, a decorated U.S. Navy pilot and aerospace engineer, was in Vermont recently to accept an honorary doctor of fine arts degree at Green Mountain College. I had the honor of meeting Dr. Bean and chatting with him at the college about the past and future of NASA and humans in space. I also presented the former astronaut with a copy of my book about lunar science, titled “Inconstant Moon” published by Xlibris/Random House; it discusses some of the unusual lunar rocks returned by the Apollo 12 crew— Do you believe extraterrestrials have visited the Earth? No. In all the billions of miles of space, we’re it. Unlike on
BROWN DOG
T.V. where aliens have landed here or people are waiting for the aliens to come by—in the real world, they’ll never come by. Here we are; we’re all there is in this portion of the universe. It’s up to us to make the Earth a great place. You use realistic and fantasy art as a means of exploring your off-Earth experiences. Why? I have witnessed things that few humans have seen. I went to another world and I am an artist. So, when I left NASA in 1980, I wanted to be true to my creative skills and tell the stories of humanity’s first adventures off the Earth through visual art. I can celebrate the first time humans went to another world, the Moon. Yes, we will do it again when we send humans to land on Mars for the first time. This is what humans do. We explore new worlds. I explore these new worlds through my art. Regarding the Apollo 12 and Skylab 3 missions, what are your fondest memories? Well, not all crews get along like professional teams. But I was lucky on Apollo 12 in 1969 and Skylab 3 in 1973. I can honestly say I went on a flight to the Moon with my two best friends, Pete Conrad and Dick Gordon. It was scary at times, but I had these two great guys by my side. Jack Lousma and Owen Garriott were with me on SL-3. They were the rookies and I was the veteran, the commander of that mission. I passed on to them what Pete and Dick taught me about doing the right things as an astronaut. I tried to model Pete as Skylab commander. And we were up there for 59 days doing a lot of good science. What kind of public support do you see today regarding human spaceflight? Hey, I thought everybody wanted the most out of our space program for the good of the nation. But I look around now and it’s disappointing to me that some politicians are not thinking the same things. They’re not doing and voting what is best for

Dr. Alan Bean the country. They do other things. I’ve been very shocked. Is America on the right track today regarding humans venturing into space? I don’t believe so. NASA spent a lot of time with the best minds in the scientific community to come up with a plan to return humans to the Moon and go beyond it (Project Constellation and the Ares rockets). They had the best hardware under development and the best people to get the job done. So, for someone to just drop in, spend a little time thinking and saying ‘Well, I think I’ll change things,’ is pretty arrogant. It’s not in the best interest of NASA. I have a lot of confidence in the methodology of NASA to do the best things with the time and money available. My heart is in what NASA wanted to do and not with the people who think they have a “better” idea. Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan, and many others, agree with me on this. Thank you, Dr. Bean.

A bike bridge too far A
s a student of history, I must admit that being on the right side of history (i.e., attuned to the long-term trends) seems to mean being on the political left side— at least in the sense that the list of human rights-guaranteed-by-government has grown inexorably in modern times. The growth of government has historically been a leftist objective. Sometimes growth has arrived one at a time: women’s suffrage, for example; and occasionally in bunches: three of the Four Freedoms of FDR were new ones. Sometimes they’re just a more generous form of a previously recognized new right—housing, for example. Medical services have now progressed (my choice of verb has political identification) from voluntary charity to mandatory entitlement in recent decades. All the left’s efforts have in common dependence upon the broad-based tax or, if you prefer the original doctrine in translation from the Russian, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”. Each new human right used to be pretty basic: the U.S. Second Amendment, for example, or the Seventh Amendment. Some of them used to be half entitlement and half user-fee based (like public education in Vermont), but more recently some of them are getting—dare I say—a bit frivolous such as bicycle bridges. The creators of such things as bike bridges don’t recognize this; they don’t call bike bridges a human right—instead, they prefer to define them as public improvements which in their “logic” should be paid for by all, even if they’re only used by a few. When the nation was young, such things were almost entirely user-fee based, which explains why the first national public improvement, known as the Cumberland Road, was equipped with toll booths. If you didn’t use the Road, you didn’t pay. Similarly, there’s the circa-1825 Erie Canal which was financed by tolls through 1882. The first interstate highways —the Pennsylvania and New Jersey turnpikes—were bonded and toll-funded. Suburban and rural parkways of the 1920s and 1930s—the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut, the Bronx River in New York, the Blue Ridge in Appalachia, and the 1956 Eisenhower Interstate Highway System—were funded via broad-based taxes or stimulus deficit spending. More recently, some use tolls, such as the Massachusetts Turnpike and the New York Thruway, but most later road construction spending and maintenance comes from fuel taxes and roaduser fees. But the exception is Virginia which has held onto notions about user fees now considered archaic and socially unjust in blue states; the Virginia road has nine toll facilities ranging from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Dulles Expressway—and including the improbably named Po’white Parkway. More culturally advanced counties and states prefer an everyone-pays-so-that-some-can-use-it-free funding model. Some localities, which are only half-advanced, split the difference; this explains why the George Washington Bridge, a New York Port of Authority project opened in 1931, now has an $8 auto fee for cars inbound to the Big Apple, a zero vehicular exit fee, and both ways free for bikes! Regarding the Golden Gate Bridge connecting deep-blue and uncouth San Francisco with its suburb of Marin County: vehicu-
lar traffic inbound pays $6, but bicycles go free. An attempt to establish bike tolls has been met with a massive “bridge use is an inalienable human right” no-toll campaign by the Marin County, Calif., natives on the www.marinbike.org website. Marin County’s residents have the fifth highest personal incomes in the U.S.—at $91,000. The county’s major employer is—guess who?—government. Nevertheless, Marin residents demand that lesser folk, who pay their government employee salaries, also pay for their natural right to bike across the Golden Gate at no personal expense. The slogan—“Say No to a Bike Toll”—makes no mention of the residents’ relative ability to pay, which in social-justice language, beloved of the political left, means “their fair share”. Decades ago, when Vermont was still a conservative part of a conservative New England, the popular slogan was “As Maine Goes, So Goes Vermont”, referring to the 1936 U.S. presidential election. Now, the slogan should be “As California Goes, So Goes Vermont” because the inalienable human right to free bike bridges and paths—paid for by non-bikers elsewhere. This long-overdue expansion of social justice has resulted in a $3.5 million bike bridge from Burlington across the Winooski River to Colchester—complete with bike trails, raised and not, paid for by a range of mandatory taxpayer and voluntary donor inputs so that it can be deservedly free, as a basic human right, to actual bike-riding users. So much for any archaic user-fee notions, even though today’s bikeriders enjoy a higher socio-economic status than us non-bike riders—excepting the lowly balloon-tired coaster-brake-equipped Schwinn of my youth now supplanted by a multi-hundred dollar multi-speed suitably elegant racing-capable machine-for-upscalerecreational-travel. Just as in California, modern Vermont notions of social justice enable the bicycling class to enjoy free bridge service courtesy of mandatory tax extractions from all the subordinate and mostly non-biking taxpaying classes. Can a human right to obtain free bikes be far behind? A Ridley-Noah at $5,000 would be socially acceptable. A post-script: The response to my inquiry to the governor’s office, via the Eagle news desk, regarding the funding and toll option for the Winooski River Bike Bridge, came from David Coriell, assistant to Gov. Douglas. “Off the top of my head, I don’t know,” he wrote in an e-mail response to us. Who knew that the pleading of official Montpelier ignorance (“Ich weiss nicht,” in the memorable phrase of television’s lovable Nazi Sgt. Schultz) as the standard response to undesired inquiry isn’t confined to matters of taxation, land use, and education, but now extends, for inclusiveness, to embrace bike bridges as well? Wer weiss? Indeed. Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
Writing is the best medicine S
uicide, depression, anxiety. Who knows a thing about those afflictions? Few. Can those few learn enough to be able to cure any of those mysterious conditions? I have a thought. Write 10 minutes a day, 40 minutes a week, or however much you can about your personal history,; what you’ll have by the time your time on Earth has expired, is an autobiography for all the world to read, enjoy, study, and learn from. Self-writing your personal history (a diary on steroids) should be mandatory daily duty. Or, someone out there should start a business offering a biographical writing service; you hire a person to listen to your life stories; that person writes them down, so when you’re gone there is a hard copy thoroughly detailing your life’s journey. That means you, person who thinks you’re life isn’t interesting. Every life is interesting and worth hearing about in detail. Mr. or Mrs. Elementary School Night Custodian, tell me what mixture of floor cleanser to water you’ve found cleans most effectively, and tell me how many tiles you burned through in determining the mixture. How many chairs do you put on desks each night? Tell me, so I can multiply that number by five work days, then by the weeks of the school year, and the total years you’ve worked, to come up with the staggering amount of clunky school chairs you’ve handled. I want to hear how the postal carrier landed the job. What prompted her to apply? Where did she take her exams? How many stops on her route? How many pieces of mail does she handle most days? How many on holidays, and which holidays see the most mail, and which day is the heaviest mail day? What’s great about carrying mail? What’s bad about it? Did you ever while running your route come upon a scene that called for you to save the day? When you were young, did you think you’d be a mail carrier? If not, what did you want to be? Brain surgeon, tell me about the first time you drilled into a skull? What did you do the night before? What did you do after the operation was over, and was it a successful drilling? How many skulls have you drilled since? Do all skulls drill the same? Tell me the earliest point in time you realized you actually had what it takes to become a brain surgeon? Go back further, to any first memory you have. Tell me about your ma and pa. Where they funny, smart, mean, poor,
were they good singers? Describe in detail the favorite meal your ma would make you? When was your first kiss? Do you know what the person you kissed is doing now? It should be required that we all keep a record of our lives to leave behind, to be read for enjoyment. But also, how much could be learned from established patterns of our family lives, and, social groups we ran in as a school kid? If there was a document to be studied of every life lived, not just the lives of the rich, famous, and high achievers, could there be from that study great strides made in understanding depression, suicide, alcoholism, and other malady’s, to the point we could change the course of their inhabiting someone’s soul? And of good things, there must be reasons why they too occur. By reading about each and every life lived, could we detect patterns leading to good things so we could duplicate the patterns to assure more good things occur more often? Ah phooey, I’m way out on a limb here, but I just love people and the intricacies of their lives, even parts they think are boring. I believe human curiosity is unresolved. I believe we can’t hear enough about the course of a human life. In less then two years there have been four teen suicides in and within ten miles of my community. The most recent, a son of a classmate of mine. The young feller ’s Memorial service is tomorrow. It’s a lot to hope something can be ciphered that will clear away this enigma altogether. Maybe the study of autobiographies left behind from each of us could help in some way. Worth a try. Course, none of us will actually write one, will we? Be nice to leave tomorrow’s service with a book about my friend’s son’s life. I’d love to read it.

From the raucous Kigali preschool where students taught English, to solemn genocide sites and forward-looking coffee cooperatives, the exhibit reflects the diversity of students’ personal journeys as they began to understand the world from utterly new perspectives. The Vision and Voice Documentary Workspace is a program of the Vermont Folklife Center, which is located at 88 Main St. in Middlebury. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information about this and other Vermont Folklife Center programs visit the center’s website at www.vermontfolklifecenter.org or call 388-4964.

“Music from Little Pink”: A handmade pop-up book on display in Vergennes this month.
WORK THAT BODY!—The second location of Vermont Sun Fitness hosted the Addison County Chamber of Commerce’s after hours business mixer in its new Vergennes facility last week. Members and guests participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony and received tours of the new facility which is located in the historic Kennedy Bros. Marketplace. Vermont Sun opened its second facility in February. Since their opening, more than 150 members have joined the 3,000 square foot facility.
Local author writes historical thriller From Staff & News Reports newmarketpress@denpubs.com Mitchelstown Castle, seat of the notorious Anglo-Irish Kingsborough family, hums with intrigue. An impoverished but fiery young English governess seeks justice after an aristocratic womanizer is fatally stabbed at a harvest festival bonfire. When young rebel Liam Donovan, who hated the rogue for seducing his niece, is accused of his murder, governess Mary, champion of the oppressed, determines to prove him innocent. It’s a story that would make a captivating British film starring Emma Thompson. Better yet, how about the story told in book form by an accomplished Vermont author? Well, now there’s “Midnight Fires: a Mystery with Mary Wollstonecraft” by Nancy Means Wright of Cornwall, Vt. Publishers Weekly said Wright’s new book is “captivating… as Mary snoops around in search of the culprit, she is bound not to lose herself to the mystery, her job, or the charms of any man. Wright deftly illuminates 18th century class tensions.” Mary Wollstonecraft—mother of Mary Shelley who wrote “Frankenstein...”—was herself celebrated, even a cause célèbre in her day, as a free-thinking rebel. In 1792, a time when a man could even lock his wife in a madhouse with impunity, Wollstonecraft published the
groundbreaking “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” in which she advocated the right to divorce, along with equal and coeducational education for girls as well as boys. Abigail Adams in colonial New England loved the book, but others labeled Wollstonecraft a “hyena in petticoats”. Wollstonecraft’s short life was no less unconventional, with the kidnap of her sister from an abusive husband, unhappy love affairs, a suicide attempt, and involvement in the French Revolution. Wright, the author of 15 books and a chapbook of poems on Wollstonecraft’s colorful life, hopes that “Midnight Fires”, first in a trilogy, will present her to the world as the brilliant, but wholly human, passionate, and conflicted woman she was. “Midnight Fires: a Mystery with Mary Wollstonecraft” is published by Perseverance Press.

Sex offenders on a short leash locally
On May 2, a kayaker located a body that had surfaced on Lake Champlain near South Beach Road in South Hero. The Vermont State Police responded and recovered the body of a white male, fully clothed, who appeared to be in his late 40s. The Vermont State Police believe they have identified the deceased, but will wait for confirmation after an autopsy is performed and next of kin is notified. No foul play is suspected. The body is believed to have been in the water for approximately 6 weeks. No further information will be released until a positive identification of the deceased has been identified.

Vermont’s failing schools
I
read an article in the Burlington Free Press concerning the 10 failing schools in Vermont; it was amazing to see that most were high schools. I also agree that humiliating a school and it faculty will not make a single thing better. At the high school level, the NECAP assessment is given in the 11th grade; I would bet that most of the students taking the assessment realize that it only counts to embarrass the school. So, most just fill in the little circles or write anything that comes to mind. Why would students do this? The biggest reason is that it does not count against the student taking the assessment; it only counts against the school itself. In Massachusetts you cannot graduate unless you pass this sort of assessment. Here in Vermont, it means nothing. Superintendents have an awful job in Vermont. In many cases, we are lucky that anyone would be willing to take such an assignment. Some superintendents have various school boards to attend to and are out almost four out of five evenings—then, not having a school-related meeting, they are expected to attend sporting events. I don’t want to sound like I think they all do a great job, but many do; I only wish they would stop indicating that the results of the NECAP in the elementary and middle schools were as projected on school-related websites or in handbooks prepared by schools for town meetings. Two words standout: “proficient” and “proficient with distinction”. In a review just the other day, students taking the eighth grade NECAP assessment—which assesses what a student now knows from the seventh grade in particular, but really the grades kindergarten through grade seven—is rated “proficient with distinction” if they fail 29 percent of the NECAP assessment. Student are rated “proficient” if they only fail 59 percent of the assessment. Superintendents would do better if they provided correct information to parents and taxpayers—then they would not find their schools being blasted by area newspaper, humiliating good teachers and administrators.

During the first two weeks of April, law enforcement agencies in the Troop C area (Bennington, Rutland and Addison counties) worked collectively to verify that the registered sex offenders that listed their residence within the area were in compliance. “Each of the three State Police station commanders assigned Troopers to verify that every registered offender within the State Police coverage area resided at the address they supplied to the registry,” said VSP Capt. Donald Patch. The commanders invited local police agencies and the county sheriffs to participate in the detail. Law enforcement was able to check on 233 of the 348 registered offenders. Of those checked there were four arrests, three determined to be deceased and five that had been incarcerated. One of the cases was referred to the U.S. Marshalls Service, for it is believed that the subject left the State. Breakdown by county: Rutland—Total: 181; Checked: 139 Addison—Total: 59; Checked: 59

Track athletes earn All-New England Honors Men’s tennis finishes
NESCAC play undefeated
The Middlebury College track and field teams took part in the Division III New England Championships hosted by Tufts on Saturday. The Panther women finished in 10th place among 29 scoring teams, while the men were 12th with 25 teams scoring. Top eight finishers at the meet earned AllNew England honors. Senior Laura Dalton (Simsbury, Conn.) was Middlebury's top finisher on the weekend, placing second in the 400 hurdles with a time of 1:03.44. Placing third in the 800 was sophomore Margo Cramer (Seattle, Wash.) in 1:03.44, while junior Amanda Lee (Lincoln, Neb.) was fifth in the 3000 steeplechase (11:30.51). The women's 4x4 relay team of rookie Juliet Ryan-Davis (Newton, Mass.), Dalton, Cramer and senior Anjuli Demers (Dracut, Mass.) placed third with a school-record time of 3:56.82. First-year jumper Grace Doering (Darien, Conn.) came in fifth (5'4.25") in the high jump, Ryan-Davis was fifth (2:13.90) in the 800, while junior Alice Wisener (Ridgewood, N.J.) came in 7th in the 400 hurdles (1:06.67).

ay 1 was an extraordinarily busy day for me. I went first to the Palace 9 to see the Met in H.D. broadcast of Rossini’s Armida starring Renee Fleming in the title role, and the usual cast of hundreds of chorus members. You have to hear it to believe it—five (not the advertised six, but who’s keeping count?) tenors, including Lawrence Brownlee as Rinaldo, the male lead,. In the third act, Borwnlee is joined in a trio with two other tenors; two other tenors, mind you, which brought down the house. His duets with Fleming are models of matching fioriture, and they obviously enjoy working together. The production was under the direction of Mary Zimmerman, and she and Fleming also apparently get along famously. In one of the act breaks Zimmerman offered anecdotal evidence that indicated clearly that Fleming is not a prima donna in the pejorative sense. During the Saturday broadcast, however, she was quite vocally exhausted, and although I imagine she had planned the act’s ending with her singing the final lines of her final aria in alt for one phrase, and then concluding the opera in lower octaves. The Times reviewer expressed a certain sadness over this loss. Perhaps there is reason to record loss attendant upon the passing of a beautiful voice, but in an interview during one of the intermissions Saturday, Fleming characterized herself as “a Straussian soprano”, and she is clearly correct (next year’s Capriccio may prove her assessment to be true). The balance of the cast was on its vocal best behavior, and the orchestra and some of the woodwinds in particular shone under the baton of Maestro Prizza, new to the Met. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon. (Note: Palace 9 will be offering encores of this season throughout the summer, as well as a complete rundown for next year’s season. For opera, call 802-660-9300.) Robert De Cormier, founder and director of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Chorus, has once again completed a week-long presentation of music written in the Nazi prison camp located at Terezin (in German, Theresienstadt) or performed there. Not only were there Jewish composers at this camp, there were singers, instrumentalists playwrights, actors—people who ran the whole gamut of the arts were incarcerated there. While some aspects of this particular tribute to the unquenchable spirit of Terezin included a display of graphic arts will continue into May, perhaps the most conspicuous example of the greatness of people under enormous pressure just to keep living is the example of performances of Verdi’s Requiem that took place under literally death-defying conditions—for example, there was only one score of the work in the camp, so the people performing had to memorize their parts completely. It was in this spirit that the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and Chorus with four soloists under the direction of De Cormier performed the work Saturday night. The results of this performance were various, breaking down into two distinct categories: the empathetic and the objective (I don’t believe that anyone is entirely objective, certainly not I). Fair reportage of the evening must begin with the fact that the relationship to the prison camp at Terezin was spiritually present in the persons of Marianka Zadikow May and Frederick Terna, survivors, and in the case of May, participants in a concert whose audience included the notorious Adolph Eichman. They were quite eloquent witnesses to the indomitability of the human spirit. As to the performance itself, well, tenor Steven Tharp and bass Kevin Deas gave highly committed performances; Deas especially finding many moments to exploit the text and notes and molding a performance of consequence. Judith Engel, alto, seemed discomfited throughout much of the evening, while soprano Indra Thomas, who indubitably has talent and a voice when properly trained that could make this role her own. Whether she had some voice-production difficulties or was simply not up to the assignment on Saturday, she
did not realize much of the potential of the part, esp. the Libera Me. The VSO Chorus made itself proud in its performance. Their diction was just short of impeccable (I heard a strange sound on the syllable do- in the first movement). The orchestra played the.score with all of the power and clarity the score demands. There are moments of quietness and these too were observed. The brass section, augmented by extra players, exhibited solidity of chording that was marvelous to hear. Robert De Cormier who masterminded the entire project, was
THE EAGLE - 9 the last to acknowledge the tumultuous applause that followed his bringing his hands to rest. It is much to his credit that he would bring off such a performance, this vocalized memento mori to those who died at the whim of such inhumane humans but who live on because De Cormier knows what Auden wrote about the death of Yeats: “…He became his admirers…” Thus too with Verdi, De Cormier, May and Terna. Burlington resident Dan Wolfe observes and critiques the local arts scene for The Eagle. His column appears weekly.

Tips for increasing your truck's gas mileage W
ith the high cost of fuel, many pickup owners are feeling the burn at the pump. While some consumers may be able to purchase a new truck that gets better gas mileage, many of us are financially stuck with the truck we currently have. To cope, there are several things you can do to save gas money now. Oil it up: As most auto body technicians will tell you, checking and changing your oil is one of the most overlooked items. Clean oil reduces wear caused by friction between moving parts and removes harmful substances from the engine, ensuring your engine will run at peak performance. And don't forget to keep it clean. You can increase your gas mileage up to 10 percent by ensuring your oil, air and fuel filters are clean. Fill it up: Fill up with the lowest octane gasoline possible for your vehicle. That pricey premium fuel won't boost your truck's fuel economy or performance. Passing on pricey premium gasoline could save you hundreds of dollars a year, according to the Car Care Council. The council also suggests tightening your gas cap because fuel will evaporate from your tank if it has an escape. Loose, missing or damaged gas caps cause 147 million gallons of gas to evaporate each year, according to the Car Care Council. So be sure to tighten up that gas cap each time you fill up. Pump it up: Check your tires to make sure they're properly inflated and aligned. Proper inflation can improve gas mileage
up to 3 percent. If you don't know what the right pressure is for your tires and truck, consult your owner's manual or stop in at your local tire shop. Ease on up: It's hard to make changes, but if you really want to see increased gas mileage, it's suggested you avoid unnecessary idling, revving your engine and slamming on the brakes. It is recommended that you stop and start gently, use cruise control when possible and reduce the amount
of trips you make each day. Roll on down the road: The easiest and most rewarding step you can take to see immediate gas mileage improvement is to install a truck bed cover on your pickup. A truck bed cover, also known as a tonneau cover, will reduce drag, making your vehi-
cle more aerodynamic at high speeds. There are several different tonneau cover options available on the market today. The Access Roll-Up Cover, manufactured by Agri-Cover, Inc., a North Dakota truck accessory company, is an affordable and high-quality option. Made of heavy-duty, double coated vinyl, the roll-up cover installs quickly and easily with a clamp-on installation and is designed specifically to fit your truck. Since the roll-up cover is lockable, it's also great for protecting your gear, all while improving the overall look of your vehicle. When not in use, the cover can be rolled up behind the cab and never has to be removed when hauling larger items. The company estimates that you can save over $200 within the first year of installing an Access Roll-Up Cover on your truck bed. Richard F. of Bismarck, N.D, knows firsthand the benefits of having a roll-up tonneau cover on his truck. "I put on many highway miles during the year and in talking to other owners with a similar truck without a box cover, I am amazed at the savings in gas mileage I'm getting with my cover. The Access Roll-Up Cover is such an attractive addition to my truck. It really finishes the look I want."

Spring car care tips for drivers looking to get the most from their vehicles
T
ravel is on the rise as the economy slowly recovers, with Americans logging an increase of 6.6 million miles during 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. As this travel trend is expected to continue, it is essential that drivers take the proper steps to help their vehicles remain durable and to get the most from what may be their second largest investment. "My entire career has been about keeping cars running strong in some of the most severe conditions," says Alan Gustafson, crew chief of veteran NASCAR driver Mark Martin's No. 5 car. "Making your vehicle last is more important than ever these days, and it's important for drivers to proactively maintain their vehicles after the stress of cold weather months." April celebrates National Car Care Month, the time of year that serves as a reminder for drivers to think about the condition of their vehicles. Gustafson recommends a few simple checklist items to help keep your car running at optimal performance leading into the expected busy spring travel season: Motor oil is a must: Cold temperatures can wreak havoc on an engine if it is not cared for properly, as cold startups are among the most severe conditions that engines undergo. Drivers need to protect their vehicles with a quality motor oil to endure the varying temperatures as most of the country changes from cooler to warmer temperatures. The changing of seasons serves as an excellent reminder of the importance of using high quality motor oils in your engine, such as Quaker State Advanced Durability motor oil. As the weather changes, conditions on the road also change. Historically, more drivers take to the highway as the temperatures increase, resulting in increased traffic congestion and heavy stop-and-go traffic conditions. Under these extreme conditions, drivers need a motor oil that will protect their engines from heat and wear. Quaker State Advanced Durability motor oil is tested under these conditions, and demonstrates a durable level of protection. Quaker State oils are constantly tested in New York City taxi cabs and after thousands and thousands of miles of use, still pass certain critical industry tests for brand new oil for wear, viscosity, and rust protection even when it is ready to be changed. Make a date to inflate: As the weather gets warmer and temperatures increase, tire pressure changes. Under-inflated tires reduce a vehicle's fuel efficiency by an average of 3.3 percent, according to www.fueleconomy.gov. Tires should be checked monthly to make sure that they are in-
flated to manufacturers' recommendations, which can typically be found on the vehicle door placard or in the glove box. Be sure to avoid over-inflating the tires, as this can lead to premature or irregular tire wear. Clean your fuel system: Many drivers use a fuel system cleaner in the winter to combat the cold weather conditions and to ease the stress on their engines during cold startups. Continuing the use of that fuel system cleaner after the colder months is also a good idea, as gunk and deposits collect in the fuel system. Products such as Gumout Regane Complete Fuel System Cleaner are designed to help clean the combustion chamber, fuel injectors/carbure-
tors, intake valves and ports of an engine, which can help maximize fuel economy and engine performance. It is essential that motorists take the proper steps to make sure their cars are fully prepared for the spring drive, and use quality automotive products to help the vehicle run the way it was intended. For instance, motor oils that do not meet required specs can cause costly engine repairs and ultimately could void the vehicle's warranty. Additionally, a vehicle using low-quality oils may be more likely to break down which is not only inconvenient, but it also potentially threatens your ability to get to the places you need to be - like your job.

SATURDAY May 8, 2010
Take time to plan your garden 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?
VERGENNES BIKE DAY & SWAP MAY 8 • 9AM-3PM
How do you choose among the hundreds of varieties available, and which crops to grow? The first consideration is what you and perhaps family like to eat. Even if a crop is trendy or popular, if you don't like it and wont eat it, why grow it? Most crops have some, often many, varieties. These are particular types or selections with certain characteristics such as fruit size or color. There are some terms you may see in variety descriptions. A hybrid is a plant resulting from the crossing of other parent plants. Since you need these parents to make seeds of the hybrid, sowing seeds of hybrids wont give you the same plants. The other main group is the open-pollinated varieties, or those that pollinate each other in the field. They may not be as consistent, with all the traits of hybrids, but you can save seeds of these and get similar plants. If a variety is open-pollinated, and at least 50 years old, it may be called an "heirloom". When choosing varieties, look for ones adapted to your region. This may relate to ripening time, or "days to maturity", one of the key factors I look for in my northern garden. A great variety for warm climates, perhaps one you grew up with, may not ripen in time in a short northern growing season. A warm climate crop such as okra, for instance, has some varieties better suited to cooler and shorter northern seasons. A couple of cultural factors to consider in variety selection are disease resistance and plant size. Some varieties, tomatoes being a good example, are resistant to certain diseases. These are often labeled in descriptions with letters and a key, such as TMV for tomato mosaic virus. The more letters the better! Plant size relates to your site, and where these will be planted. Assuming you have the right match of site conditions to varieties, consider the size of crops and growth habits. Tomatoes, for instance, can be more upright (determinate) or vining and sprawling (indeterminate). The latter may need more staking, or more

room, or both. Then there are compact varieties suited to small spaces and containers. When sowing seeds or planting transplants, information on seed packets, labels, and books will tell you such details as seed or plant spacing in rows, and amount of space between rows. These are guidelines, as some recommend planting in blocks rather than rows. Depending on use, you may plant closer if harvesting small carrots or tops of plants for instance. The goal is to have enough space for plants to get the light and nutrients they need, without much competition, and for you to be able to weed and work among the plants. Once you lay out your plans roughly on paper, look at what plants are next to others. Where is the sun coming from? You don't want tall corn for instance shading out shorter plants. Some plants are believed by gardeners to help others, perhaps by repelling insects. This is called "companion planting" with books and articles written just on this topic. You may try nasturtiums, for instance, next to potatoes to repel Colorado potato beetles. Radishes may repel cucumber beetles, leeks may repel carrot flies, and basil may repel some insects from tomatoes. Finally consider when you will plant. Some "cool" crops (like lettuce) can be planted earlier that other "warm" crops (like tomatoes). The two key factors are first and last frost dates of the season. Since these can vary, be ready with frost protection cloth or similar coverings.

COMMUNITY SPIRIT—The GFWC Orwell Fortnightly Club hosted its annual guest night potluck dinner last week. All members brought a favorite dish to the Orwell Congregational Church basement. Hostess tasks were coordinated by Sue Young, Linda Oaks and Rita Baccei. Joan Korda introduced our guest speaker Steve Buxton of Orwell Historic Society.
fluctuating Midwest or Canadian natural gas prices. Past proposals to extend natural gas lines northward into Vermont have been hooted down by some. Yankee now supplies 6 percent of the electricity in the New England grid. Unless demand nosedives, that 6 percent (600 Mw in all) of baseload power will have to be found somewhere. Where? Coal-fired plants in the Ohio Valley? Somebody else's (unbuilt) nuclear plant? When the New England ISO is unable to put enough juice into the grid to meet the New England Reliability Commission's performance standards, either some large users have to be cut off, or New England will suffer a brownout. To avoid this result, the ISO has to make desperation purchases at, frequently, astronomical prices. Bringing in power from distant generators brings its own set of problems. There is presently not enough long-distance transmission capacity to keep 285 Mw of additional power flowing reliably into Vermont. Building more high-voltage transmission lines, of course, brings out the enviros and their lawyers. What will happen to Vermont's economy if Yankee winks out in 2012? Its 669 employees (average wage: $104,000) will start disappearing. The $93 million Yankee injects into the Vermont economy will start heading south. The state's desperate General Fund will lose $7.6 million a year, and the Education Fund will lose $6 million a year. These economic facts, and more, are contained in a report prepared last January for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 300 by the highly reputable Vermont Economic Consulting Inc. The study used payroll data in a well-established economic model, and did not inflate its findings by adding in speculative benefits. Some, but not all, Vermonters are shocked at the militant attitude of one of the three antinuclear Democratic senators running for governor on promises of creating good new jobs for Vermonters. According to George Clain, head of the IBEW Local, the unnamed senator informed the labor leader that “your members [at Yankee] have two years notice—they should be looking for other jobs.” Former Gov. Tom Salmon, a Democrat, told a Vermont Energy Partnership conference in Montpelier last month: “The loss of Vermont Yankee would be a profound and unmitigated blow to Vermont and its people.” Next January the 2011 legislature will have one last chance to avert that blow. Said one anonymous observer of Vermont’s energy situation: “Voters concerned about living in a brownout world ought to put every candidate on the record early on. The size of this looming economic and energy sinkhole is far too important to overlook.”

State budget plans raise property taxes V
ermont property taxpayers will be taking it on the chin this year. Given the rhetoric they’ve been hearing all year from Montpelier, they have reason to be upset. First, the governor repeated his (erroneous) claim that education spending was out of control, and proposed a plan he said would reduce property taxes. What he didn’t mention was that for his plan to work local school districts would have to make dramatic cuts to their school budgets, and most of the savings would accrue to the state to help balance the General Fund budget. Next came the legislature and endless discussions about school consolidation and improved efficiency. Lawmakers were starting to hear from local school boards that taxes were going up despite their efforts to curb spending. Legislators wanted to appear to be doing something, even if they couldn’t quite articulate the problem they were trying to solve. What the proposed fiscal 2011 budget will do—in contrast to what people have been saying—is raise property taxes. The state property tax rate may or may not go up for next year. The House version of the budget keeps the rate the same as this year; the Senate increases it a penny, to 87 cents per $100 of assessed value. But the bigger problem is that both the House and Senate are underfunding the Education Fund again. Both are withholding almost $25 million that should have been transferred from the General Fund to the Education Fund. And the Senate is diverting almost $9 million more that should have gone into the Education Fund but now is going to be used to balance the General Fund. Local school boards and local voters did their part this year. There will be essentially no growth next year in education spending, which is the important number because it determines the tax rate. Many districts actually reduced their education spending, but overall it’s up a small fraction of one percent. That’s not easy. Even in this recession, schools are facing cost increases for health care, fuel, and salaries. Despite what the bean counters think, reducing staff to match declining enrollments is not a simple exercise. To even just level fund their budgets, school boards had to make cuts to programs, which diminishes the quality of education. Local communities, therefore, will have to suffer the consequences of these cuts, but they are not being compensated with lower school taxes. Education spending will be flat next year, but residential and non-residential taxes are projected to increase almost $6 million in the Housepassed budget or more than $22 million in the Senate version. Property taxes should be going down, and they would be if the House and Senate weren’t short-changing the Education Fund. However, to meet their obligations to the Education Fund, the Legislature would have to raise some other broad-based taxes or make even more damaging cuts to the General Fund. It’s good they ruled out additional cuts. But once they acknowledged that they would need more revenue, there should have been an open debate about which taxes to raise. They avoided such open debate because it’s an election year. But make no mistake, they decided to raise property taxes when they chose to short-change the Education Fund. Sarah Lyons
Britton in auto accident On his way to a campaign event in Barton May 1, U.S. Senate candidate Len Britton was involved in a two-car accident on Route 100C, north of Johnson. The car directly in front of Len made an unexpected turn. All persons involved in the accident walked away with no injuries. Britton's car was totaled. The Republican candidate thanked the Lamoille County Sheriff's Department and Johnson Fire and Rescue for their rapid response. He attended the Barton GOP event as scheduled. The native Vermonter recently announced changes in his campaign team following the sale of his Woodstock business, Britton’s Lumber Landscape and Feed. Britton made an April campaign appearance in Addison County.
