Fossils found in Panton stone sparks a scientific debate among experts.

Gov. Jim Douglas continued to scold senators who voted April 23 to follow the lead of the House and pass a tax increase on manufacturers, farmers, contractors and others by not extending the pass through domestic production deduction as expected. The domestic production deduction is meant to protect and grow domestic manufacturing and other productive activities. An amendment to prevent the tax increase failed by a vote of 17 to 12 on the Senate floor. “Unfortunately, many

Volunteers clean up illegal dumping grounds By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com

CAMPOREE—Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts from the Green Mountain Council’s Ethan Allen District gathered at the recent closing ceremony in the Button Bay State Park amphitheater after a near-perfect weekend of camping. The scouts, including all scouts from Rutland and Addison counties, celebrated 100 years of scouting in the United States.

BRISTOL—Upper Notch Road in Bristol may wind through some of Vermont’s most scenic woodlands in the Green Mountain National Forest region, but don’t look too closely. Strewn below the dirt road, on a steep bank leading down to a roaring feeder tributary of the New Haven River that drains off Gilmore Pond, is an unsightly junkyard that has been been an illegal dumping ground for more than 20 years. Nearby resident Burt DeGraw was appalled of the dumping along the road and decided to coordinate a personal effort to clean up some

Panton’s “mystery” fossil sparks a scientific debate By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com PANTON—If you’re familiar with Vermont’s famous Champlain Black or Panton Stone—a much sought after landscaping stone found in deposits along Lake Champlain from Vermont and New York to the Canadian border—you may have admired the ubiquitous marine fossils embedded in its dense gray matrix. These ancient reef creatures include a variety of seashells, crablike animals called trilobites, and other invertebrate denizens of the prehistoric deep. Among the Panton Stone’s ancient reef fauna are distinctive, disk-shaped objects commonly called “sunflower coral”. These sunflower-like fossil disks were a big part of the local reef community and are frequently found in western Addison County— some grew up to three feet or more in diameter. Regarding the ancient makers of the unusual disks, scientists have been debating the origin question since this fossil was first discovered in the early 19th century. While some have identified the fossil as coral, others have identified it as a kind of hard porifera or sponge built up by tiny, protozoa-like critters. Today, most fossil experts believe “sunflower coral” was the product of green sea algae—unicellular and colonial plants. If their theory is correct, then the layered, accretionary disks found in Vermont were built up by prehistoric algae absorbing minerals and nutrients via sea water and then expelling the waste to build up porous mounds. A few fossil-collecting mavericks consider “sunflower coral” as a kind of mysterious quasi-sponge, but they are unable to pin down exactly what tiny vanished critters created the calcite structures. But even with most researchers now favoring green algae as the source of “sunflower coral” found in the Panton Stone—with a few porifera holdouts—it remains to be officially classified to any biological phyla. In 1830, French zoologist Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville gave the fossil its Latin, scientific name, Receptaculites (pronounced: receptacle-eye-tees), named for the hundreds of tiny receptacle-like chambers found in the disks. De Blainville also helped date the Panton Stone fossil—and its fellow turned-to-stone reef lifeforms—to approximately 480450 million years ago. Receptaculites has been described by an author of a college geology textbook as “a doublespiral radiating pattern of rhom-

bus-shaped plates supported by spindle-like meroms that grew on the seafloor. Fossils can usually be identified by the intersecting patterns of clockwise and counterclockwise rows of plates or stalk spaces.” (Translation of the above definition for the layman: In geometry, a rhombus is a quadrilateral shape with four sides of equal length. In zoology, meroms are tiny structures, made of calcium carbonate, secreted by tiny lifeforms that provided a stable structure for the colony. Curiously, meroms are not found in any other group of organisms, living or extinct.) “Receptaculitids are the least known fossils,” according to a report by Dr. Matthew H. Nitecki, former curator of the University of Chicago’s Field Museum in Chicago. “Their demise was gradual in the fossil record, but they were a major component of massive organic buildups and were an important rock-building element. Beyond these facts, it is an unexplainable fossil group.” However, in the opinion of Dr. Char Mehrtens, professor and chairwoman of the University of Vermont’s Department of Geology, the Receptaculites mystery has been solved. She has been studying fossils of the Champlain Valley for 28 years, most of her academic career. The veteran, award-winning Vermont geologist says the unique local fossil—found in rocks here and in Russia, China, Japan and Australia—is neither sponge nor coral. “Receptaculites is found in Panton Stone, a Middle Ordovician limestone,” she said. “Paleontologists can tell the difference between the wall structures of sponges and calcareous algae to determine the origin of this fossil. Calcareous algae make little ‘plates’ of calcite, fused together. Sponges have very loosely constructed walls of little spikes, called spicules.” And that’s why Mehrtens believes Receptaculites was made by sea algae. Mehrtens said her current research at UVM is focused on the evolution of the northern Appalachians, notably the Green Mountain range. “I am particularly interested in how the rocks of our region record the history of ocean-basin opening, closing, and the forma-

tion of mountains,” she said. “Right now, I have a graduate student starting her master’s research on the Middlebury, Orwell, and Panton limestones—she will study the age, environment of deposition, and burial history of these rocks.” Check it Out: For safe, accessible examples of Vermont’s Panton Stone, visit the exhibits of the UVM Perkins Museum of Geology. For a fine example of Panton Stone used in attractive landscape design, look for the low rock wall near the entrance to Middlebury College’s new main library. Middlebury’s downtown bridge, built in the 1800s is made up, in part, of Panton Stone. A few fossils, including fragments of Receptaculites, may be seen in these rocks. Warning: Fossil collecting without the landowner’s permission is illegal in Vermont. State property also has severe restrictions regarding rock, mineral and fossil collecting. Before collecting any natural object, ask permission.

Taking money from Vermont’s farmers

hen the majority Democratic Vermont House passed the Miscellaneous Tax Bill last month, they in essence voted to raise taxes on Vermont manufacturers, contractors, and dairy farmers. The bill did this by imposing a 33 percent reduction in the so-called domestic production deductionavailable to businesses in 2010 and 2011. This vote concerned me a great deal, because it effectively takes about $9 million out of the pockets of manufacturers, contractors, and dairy farmers. This deduction is one of the few business tax incentives that Vermont offers. Specifically intended to help protect high-paying, highbenefit jobs here at home and keep them from going overseas, it delivers some much-needed assistance to the manufacturing, construction, and dairy industries, which are already among the hardest-hit by the current economic recession. These folks have prepared their budgets and made their plans in Vermont with the expectation that this incentive, which was enacted into law in 2004 , would be available to them. Even more difficult to understand, the House vote came only about a week after one of Vermont's best-known business successes—Burton Snowboards—announced that it would be moving its manufacturing jobs out of state and overseas. If the Legislature continues to try to balance its budget on the backs of employers and actually take away the few positive advantages we have, we can only expect more jobs to leave Vermont. As the owner of a construction company, I know firsthand how difficult it is to run a successful business in Vermont. As a Vermont State Senator, I will be working hard with others in the Vermont Senate to remove this provision from the Miscellaneous Tax Bill and restore support for these businesses and their employees who are most in need. If you share my concerns, I encourage you to contact your state senator and ask him or her to have this provision removed. If left in the bill it may cost us good paying jobs in the long run.

Aloha, Vermont? I

f you’ve been following the continuing efforts of the Fourth Estate, you know that it’s about as unusual as a blizzard over William Shakespeare’s fictional Prospero’s Island—of “The Tempest” fame—for an accredited editorial writer to admit a blindspot in his commentary. Perhaps it’s ok for a mere weekly amateur such as your humble scribe, moi? My judgment gap came while pondering whether Vermonters, like so many living in other states, might contemplate some sort of territorial breakup or even secession (the last actual multi-state attempt had a sorry outcome), because of internal differences in political and governance objectives. I thought Vermonters might consider either an individual town defection (think: Killington) or even a New England-in-the-1820s or Thomas Naylor-in-the-present sort of secession debate. I had toyed with, and rejected, the notion of a virtual Vermont of pretty much disenfranchised old Vermonters practicing some form of traditional self-government while co-existing geographically mixed (but governmentally-separated) among the new in-migrants—because the facts on the ground are that there’s no place in the state (not even the Northeast Kingdom) where the now dominant group is clearly absent. There is simply no place to furnish a sanctuary for the now subordinate group. My error in thinking this couldn’t be done may well be proven wrong by the example of Hawaii. What’s about to take place in the Aloha State could possibly come to pass in the Green Mountain State albeit for somewhat different reasons. The Hawaii proposal—known as the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act—calls for the 6 percent of Hawaii’s 1.3 million residents who are truly natives to be self-governing with a set of laws parallel to, and different from, the set of laws under which the other 94 percent will live (and pay taxes, and be regulated, and so on). The 400,000 or so entitled Hawaiian natives, wherever they now live, will get a going-away gift of a couple million acres of land to which they don’t have to move plus a few dozen millions of federal grant dollars to establish and operate their own governance. One step forward, two steps backward. Who gets to fine these Hawaiian elites for speeding on Waikiki Boulevard? What if they behave badly after dark in Honolulu’s bar-brothel-arts district? The news stories I’ve read don’t say. The separation is based on race and culture, the articles I’ve read do say. The free-at-last natives would have their own Virtual Hawaii, right in there physically mixed with, but politically separate from, the traditional (since US annexation in 1898, anyway) Hawaii. Regarding the theory of what’s good for Hawaii could be good for Vermont: Why not give 1 million acres of Vermont’s 6 million acres to the Yankee natives who were doing fine before to the down-country Volvoid gentrificationincursions began during the 1960s? It’s at least arguable that the once-distinct Yankee culture, responsible for creating from wilderness the farmand-village landscape so attractive to the suburbia-fleeing inmigrants, is as worthy of preservation and self-governance as the Polynesian one now recognized. Like the cardiologist, standing alongside his favorite mechanic, and peering under the hood of his Mercedes and hearing the auto expert say, “There’s a lot we don’t yet un-

derstand about valve lifters,”there’s much about a virtual Hawaii which is so far unexplored. I can visualize where Hawaiian schools might be separate but equal, but who will pay for and staff such government functions as highways, jails, and the volcano and tsunami-warning centers? Will the crater of Mauna Loa be off-limits to non-Polynesians? Will the real Polynesians demand the return of Pearl Harbor to its pre-U.S. Navy conditions,or will they just demand rent? (Oops, I’ve just been informed they’re already demanding rent.) Would Hawaii Five-O law enforcement be executed differently based on now-approved racial profiling, just as Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” was built around some Europeans arrival on, and take-over of, a non-European-owned island? Check with your high school English student regarding Caliban and Ariel, the ungentrified natives versus Prospero and Miranda (the gentry intruders), for what’s being taught alongside historical literature in our ideologically post-colonial era. Similarly, for a Virtual Vermont— Would the natives continue to be taxed to pay for the imported (and expensive) public education practices they have consistently disliked over the last 40 years of their imposition, or, as in Hawaii. Would they be left alone to run their own schools as they once did? Even though they wouldn’t, most likely, get their own million acres, would they get to adopt and implement their own zoning on what small pieces of their state they still, nominally, own? If academic inmigrant to the Town of Charlotte Mr. Thomas Naylor can build a secession movement—on such Enlightenment-level platform planks as keeping Wal-Mart out of town—can the pre-Naylor natives specifically invite a big box store to any Vermont town of their choice, if they so wish? The underlying question in both states is one of (in Grover Norquists’s memorable phrase) “The right to be left alone” to which the members of his “leave us alone” coalition have always aspired. In Hawaii, the natives want out from under the control of the non-native majority. In Vermont, the same sentiment underlies the woodchucks v. flatlanders tension. It isn’t a conventional right v. left political argument, as shown by a quote (which I have taken the liberty of paraphrasing) from liberal-progressive Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis during the 1920s: “Every citizen has the right to be left alone by his government.” If, under a Virtual Hawaii Law, the native islanders get some reprieve from their inmigrant mainland rulers and tormentors, couldn’t the same device have a similar outcome in the Green Mountain State? Native Vermonters could create some legal distance between the new, elite Vermont created by the gentry inmigrants. My initial thought about this idea was “not very likely,” but with luck I might yet be proven wrong.

Amazing Grace

ry. As the story goes, Saul was working overtime chasing down Christians. The Scripture describes him as, “….breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord…” It was his intention to find Christians hiding out in Damascus, arrest them, and bring them, bound, to Jerusalem. That is until Jesus met him on the Damascus road. Surrounded by those who beBy Rev. Krista Beth Atwood lieved in his cause, Saul was struck down and blinded. As Saul himself described it later in the book of Acts, “About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, 'Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?” Saul heard the voice of the Risen Jesus and his life was forever changed. Both the story of Saul and the story of John Newton are remarkable conversion stories. They are startling and awe-inspiring. “I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now I see.” Yet, in any conversion story, the main character is God. John Newton and Saul both had encounters with Christ that transformed them. While our experiences may not be as dramatic, we are all—to some degree—stumbling along the way trying to do what is best and often messing up. Sometimes it takes a dramatic experience to open our eyes. T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed. Amen!

mazing Grace is probably one of the most well known hymns in all of Christendom. Even nonchurch goers are often familiar with the first verse. Pop singers cover it and contestants sing it on American Idol hoping it will give them a boost into the Top Ten. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind but now I see. The stanzas are a powerful testimony to God’s grace and forgiveness in the face of human failing, made even more powerful when seen through the life of the author. John Newton, born in London in 1725, was the son of a commander of a merchant ship. Newton’s mother died when he was six and, as a young boy, he began sailing with his father. Later, at his own request, he was put into service on a slave ship. In 1748 he became captain of his own slave-trading ship bringing Africans to England to be sold. While Newton did have some early religious instruction from his mother, he had long since given up any religious convictions. In fact he mocked the faith of those around him. However, in the face of a horrific storm during a homeward voyage, he experienced what he was to refer to later as his “great deliverance.” He recorded in his journal that when all seemed lost and the ship would surely sink, he exclaimed, “Lord, have mercy upon us.” The hymn, Amazing Grace, was composed many years later, after Newton left the slave trade and became a priest in the Anglican Church. Throughout his ministry this unlikely disciple drew large congregations and influenced many, among them William Wilberforce who became a leader in the campaign for the abolition of slavery. ‘Amazing Grace’ indeed. (Adapted from Al Rogers’ synopsis, 1996) In the Bible we hear many stories of unlikely disciples. The story of Saul (later known to us as Paul) is one such sto-

Folklife Center scholarships offered By Bob Hooker www.vermontfolklifecenter.org MIDDLEBURY—Vermont Folklife Center officials announced the continuation of the Vermont Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program for an eighteenth year. This program was initiated to support Vermont's living cultural heritage and provides stipends of up to $2000 as honoraria and to cover such expenses as materials and travel. Under the auspices of the program, traditional arts such as Yankee fiddling, Abenaki basket making, Franco American singing, and Somali Bantu drum making have received support. A traditional arts apprenticeship brings teachers and learners together who share a common commitment to keeping these art forms alive. It pairs a master artist who has achieved a high level of expertise in his or her art form with a less-experienced apprentice. The master and apprentice jointly plan when, where, and what they expect to accomplish during the course of the apprenticeship. Apprenticeship schedules reflect the time constraints of both master and apprenticeship and range from short-term, intensive sessions to meetings spread over the course of a year. With funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the over one hundred eighty-three apprenticeships supported during the first 17 years of the program represent a broad spectrum, from the arts of native Abenaki, Yankee, and Franco American regional cultures, to the arts of recent Somali Bantu, Congolese, Tibetan, Bosnian, and Meskhetian refugees. Information and application forms for the Vermont Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program are available from the Vermont Folklife Center, 88 Main Street, Middlebury 05753, 388-4964 or online at www.vermontfolklifecenter.org The deadline for applications for this year's program is July 2.

B&B hosts open house From News Reports newmarketpress@denpubs.com CHARLOTTE—The public was invited to join the Bower family of Charlotte last week for a special open house event at the Inn at Charlotte Bed and Breakfast located on State Park Road. The inn’s common room and guest rooms were open for viewing. There was a bocce ball tournament in the afternoon and the nets were up on the tennis court so people could enjoy playing at their leisure. Live music featured several local musicians—Jesse French and his band Metameric, Robin Reid and others. Snacks and drinks were offered. Since 2002, Duker and Josefina Bower, together with their three children— Corinna, Leila, and Ezekiel—have enjoyed sharing their home with guests from all over the world. The inn and family resi-

Guests make new friends at the breakfast table at the Inn at Charlotte Bed and Breakfast. dence was built around a former one-room schoolhouse that served area students up until the early 1950s. Guy Cheng, a jeweler and tennis champion, bought the property and he converted the schoolhouse into a silversmith studio. Cheng built the swimming pool, tennis court and surrounding resi-

dence. Cheng sold the place to the Ellingers who soon began running a guesthouse in the shadow of Mt. Philo State Park. Leddy Ellinger was known for serving delicious meals and the Inn at Charlotte Bed and Breakfast gained its reputation as a desirable place to visit. The Bowers have continued this

tradition since leaving Massachusetts to reside in Vermont. Today, the building that was the former one-room schoolhouse is Duker Bower ’s painting studio and home of Mt. Philo Gallery. Some of his work is currently on display at the Starry Night Café in Ferrisburgh.

of the mess left by furtive night dumpers. Just in time for annual Earth Day and Vermont Green Up Day activities, DeGraw volunteered his own time and labor, with some risk to his own safety, in pulling up some of the larger pieces of trash from from the steep slope directly above the seething spring torrent. DeGraw’s nasty haul included rusting bed frames, mouldering armchairs and sofas, plywood scraps, bed-bug infested matresses, discarded plastic water jugs, rotting carpet remnants, and things too objectionable to mention in a family newspaper. Following in his footsteps, a group of Americorps volunteers were called in to continue the work. Together, the unlikely team created a large pile of refuse for the Town of Bristol to pick up and dispose of—legally. “On May 9, a group of Americorps young adults joined me in the ongoing clean up to get about 98 percent of the remaining garbage,” DeGraw said. “It now sits in a big pile by the roadside waiting for the town to pick up.” According to DeGraw, the owner of Mary's Restaurant at Baldwin Creek suggested he contact Americorps. “I was unaware of this national organization or it's purpose. These young volunteers travel all over the USA helping communities with cleanup after storms as well as with Earth Day cleanup and planting activities,” he said. The civic-minded young adults, ranging in age from their teens to their mid 20s, worked tirelessly in the rain and mud last weekend to haul bags of garbage up the steep road bank. “Without compaint or rest, these volunteers helped all day Saturday. I think they deserve some praise,” DeGraw said.

legislators don’t seem to realize that by increasing taxes every year on job creators, Vermont’s economy is less competitive,” Douglas said. “Just as we are seeing green shoots in the economy, some legislators are bent on job-killing measures and new taxes that threaten our fragile recovery.” Last year the Vermont State Legislature increased taxes on Vermonters by $21 million. They added higher taxes by capping the deductibility of state taxes, changing how capital gains were taxed, increasing the estate tax, increasing the liquor tax, and imposing a digital download tax, among others, to prop up unsustainable levels of spending last year. “Instead of rolling back taxes, the Legislature is intent on piling higher taxes on employers and working families,” Douglas added.

Dr. Alan Bean: America’s uncertain future in space By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com 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 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

Dr. Alan Bean 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 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.

Tips for a safe spring turkey hunt By Shannon Coggin newmarketpress@denpubs.com With wild turkey hunting season still in full swing in Vermont until May 31, the National Wild Turkey Federation has the safety of local turkey hunters in mind. Safety is a key element when you're in the woods mimicking the sounds of wild turkeys. A safe turkey hunter is much like a

safe driver—you must be defensive minded. Also, keep in mind that a safe hunter is an effective hunter. Here are 10 tips to consider when you're in the woods: •Leave the area if you suspect there's another hunter already working the same bird. •Resist the urge to stalk turkey sounds. It is nearly impossible to sneak up on a turkey. It is also unethical and could lead to an accident.

Elvis is Back in the Building

•Select a spot that is in open timber rather than thick brush: wearing camouflage clothing and eliminating movement is more critical to success than hiding in heavy cover. •Sit against a large stump, blow-down, tree trunk or rock that is wider than your shoulders and higher than your head when calling wild turkeys. •Never wear bright colors, especially not red, white, blue or black because these are the colors of a wild turkey gobbler. Watch out for red, white or blue on your socks, tshirts, hooded sweatshirts, hats, bandannas, etc. Wear dark undershirts and socks, and pants long enough to be tucked into boots. •Remain still and speak in a loud, clear

voice to announce your presence to other hunters if necessary.

THE EAGLE - 11

Tigers remain unbeaten at 6-0 By Fred Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com Shelby Laframboise scored a goal to lead the undefeated Middlebury Tigers to a 9-5 win over the Essex Hornets, in girls high school lacrosse action last Saturday in Essex. Emma McDowell, Saige Twombly, Brandi Whittemore, Katie Ritter and Chrissy Ritter added single goals to round out the Tigers scoring. Alex Sears and Maria Ploof combined for 13 saves in the net for Middlebury, who improved to 6-0 with the win. Tina Whalen led Essex with a pair of goals herself. Julie Pearl, Lori Weischedel and Taylor Barry also scored in defeat while goalie Becky Anderson made 10 saves for the Hornets, who fell to 5-3 on the year. Things turned out differently when the same two teams met in boys action on the same day in Middlebury. Bill Hennessy and Pat Nee turned in monstrous offensive performances to lead their Hornets to a 12-3 thumping of the hometown Tigers. Both had a hat trick, and Hennesy had four assists, while Nee added a pair. To finish off the scoring for the victorious Hornets Kevin Bednar scored twice, and Mike Hennessy, Adam Slocum, Ben Adams and Bert Hoehl added single goals. In the net Sam Mattson and Trey Hudson combined for11 saves for the Hornets, who improved to 6-2 with the win. Jesse Otis, Andrew Myhre and Sawyer McLaughlin scored for Middlebury, who fell to 1-5 with the loss. In the net Garth Buck and Taylor Wood recorded 10 saves between them. As bad as things were for the Tigers last Saturday, they were even worse for the Mount Abraham Eagles. Harry Foreman recorded three goals and five assists, while David Sartorelli scored four goals to lead Rice in their 15-1 drubbing of the hapless Mount

Out Check ales! Our S

Abraham Eagles, in South Burlington. Mack Yandow added three more and Ben Dunsmore contributed a pair for Rice, who improved to 7-3 with the win. Nick Keating, Anthony Hahn and Tyler Derderian finished off Rice’s scoring totals with single goals. In the net Mike Flynn had to make just five saves, as the Eagles were extremely limited in their scoring options. Meanwhile his Eagle Counterparts were kept Extremely busy in the net. Craig Camara and Mike Flowers posted 14 saves between them, and Parker Thompson scored Mount Abraham’s lone goal. Meanwhile in Hyde Park Marcus Wadlington and John Sciortino led a parade of nine Lamoilee Lancers who scored as they cruised to a 13-2 win over the visiting Vergennes Commodores. The duo turned in a hat trick each, while Wadlington added a pair of assists to lead the well balanced offensive attack. Chris Lowney contributed four assists and a goal to the lopsided win asnd Zack Fenton, Dalton Gomez, Alan Bickings, Josh David, Colt Shauvin and Tyler Costello rounded out the scoring for Lancers with single goals. In the net Riley Costello and Peter Pollander combined to make a dozen saves for Lamoille, who improved to 5-3 with the win. Menwhile the Vergennes commodores, who remain winless at 0-5 following the defeat, got goals from Morgan Stinchfield and Brian Kilbride. Stinchfield also assisted on Kilbride’s goal. Eric Averill made eight saves in the net for the Commodores, On Friday night in South Burlington the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks overcame a 3-2 defecit too eek out a 4-3 win over the hometown Rebels, and remain undefeated at 9-0 with the win. Trailing 3-2 in the fourth period Ryan Lunney scored to tie the game at 3-3. Then, just a few minutes later Derek Goodwin knocked in the game winner in this exciting, low scoring conflict.

Rice Takes Pair from Addison County Teams Last Friday and Saturday the Rice Green Knights hosted two Addison County teams and defeated both of them to improve to 8-1 on the year. On Friday afternoon with the score tied 4-4 in the bottom of the 5th inning Greg VanKleeck singled to drive in Sean Rugg giving Rice a 5-4 lead over the Vergennes Commodores, and they held on to that lead to claim the win. VanKleeck and Zac Poland had two hits apiece to lead Rice’s offense. Poland, who was also the winning pitcher, had a single, double and drove in a run to help out his own cause on the hill. Polnd pitched the entire game and struck out 11 on his way to the win. Charlie Stapleford and Losing pitcher Logan Williams had two hits for Vergennes. Stapleford blasted a double and drove in two, while Williams added an RBI. Things were much easier for Rice last Saturday when they hosted the Mount Abraham Eagles. Chris McCormick and Nicky Elderton led Rice to an easy 10-0 win. McCormick McCormick went 3-for-3, including his three-run blast in the sixth, while Elderton took care of business on the mound, as well as homering himself on offense. Offensively Zac Poland did his share too with a pair of hits, including yet another Rice homerun to lead off the 5th inning. On the mound Elderton picked up a complete-game shutout, allowing just four hits while striking out seven. Ryan Siegle, Steve Patterson, Sam Lieberman and Dan Cox all singled and those four singles were all the offense Mount Abraham could muster up all day. Shawn Marcelle took the loss for the Eagles, who fell to 7-2 on the year.

FORT CASSIN—The annual LCI All-Season Tournament returned to Lake Champlain last week for another exciting season of big fish and happy, dedicated Vermont and New York anglers. The event features seven species categories which include the most sought-after fish Lake Champlain offers: steelhead trout, landlocked Atlantic salmon, brown trout, lake trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, catfish, and walleye. Monthly cash and merchandise prizes are awarded to the anglers who amass the most derby prize points in the Warm, Cool and Cold Water Divisions. Each species category is given a point scale and total derby prize points are based on the weight of the fish multiplied by the appropriate species points for that fish. A cash-prize pool based on the number of entries in the tournament is distributed to the 18 monthly winners based on their overall derby points at the end of the All-Season Tournament presented by Apple Island Resort and Marina. Any registered angler can enter more than one fish, so the possibilities for major cash and prize winnings are significant. New for 2010, LCI has announced an exciting promo-

THE EAGLE - 13

Men’s tennis wins sixth NESCAC championship From College News Reports The top-seeded and topranked Middlebury College men's tennis team won its second straight NESCAC Championship, and sixth in the last seven years, with a 6-0 win over No. 3 seed Williams College. The Panthers won four straight titles from 2004-07, before winning back-to-back championships in 2009 and again in 2010. In doubles play, Middlebury's top pairing of Andrew Thomson and Andrew Lee cruised to an 8-2 win over Bryan Chow and Dicken Chaplin to set the tone. Shortly after, Chris Mason and Andrew Peters defeated Williams' Felix Sun and Richard Meyer 8-5 at number three, before Eliot Jia and Conrad Olson closed out the doubles sweep with an 8-5 win over Nick Lebedoff and Will Petrie at number two. In singles action, Middlebury's Andrew Lee defeated

Nick Lebedoff in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2 to put the Panthers on the verge of the title. With both Conrad Olson and Andrew Thomson closing in on wins at numbers three and four, it seemed only a matter of time before Middlebury would be named champions of the NESCAC once again. Olson closed out his win over Jeremy Weinberger 6-4, 6-2, to earn the decisive fifth point, but in customary fashion all matches were allowed to finish the points that were already underway. With the match decided, Thomson closed out a three-set win over Bryan Chow on that very point, winning 6-3, 6-1 after dropping the opening frame 0-6. In the three remaining singles bouts, Andrew Peters was just one game from finishing off Felix Sun, holding a 7-6, 52 lead when the day came to an end. Zach Weiss was very close to earning the first team point for Williams, leading Peter Odell 5-4 in the second set af-

ter winning the first stanza 75. In the final match, Richard Meyer dropped the first frame to Eliot Jia 4-6, but rebounded for a 6-1 win in the second set, and held a 1-0 lead in the third when play halted. With the win, Middlebury's record improves to 18-2 as the Panthers earn the conference's automatic berth to the upcoming NCAA Tournament. The Ephs fall to 11-6 with the loss, but will have a great shot for an at-large bid to the NCAAs.

Memories on the road T

he first 10-mile stretch of road was hilly and straight. Fluid, forward motion and the school day; he was growing and the warm cab, and his father’s voice, and the truck tires revolving along polished asphalt relaxed the boy so that between the tenth and twelfth mile, his head drew slowly to the bench seat—like a bee to a node of mayonnaise—and landed just behind the shifter knob near where the fleshy heal of his father’s hand had come to rest. The transmission lever was in fourth. The boy was tall and wiry and fit nicely curled on the red vinyl seat. He was content. Warm drool found it’s way to his cheekbone, congregating in the divots the seat pressed into his cheek. He was 14. Tire moan, engine moan, steady rhythm; off fuel into the turn, back on fuel in the middle of the turn, steady increase of fuel uphill, feathering off fuel down hill; the father talking to himself at normal, between-two-people, conversational decibels; the boy’s half-dream cast his favorite school girls with him as the hero—the one who gets the girls. His father knew how to drive like nobody’s business; it had been his business. His driving was a gift to his son. The silky ride, like a lullaby rocking the boy to sleep. Six o’clock: on-time arrival. Paste-ups delivered to the newspaper camera room. The press, with lots of luck, won’t break and the paper will print; father and son will be on their way home by ten. Eat. At the Fairlee Diner, cook Pat Roberts walks with a limp. For the father a hamburg steak, homemade applesauce, mashed potato, and wax beans. For the boy, Mrs. Roberts serves two grilled

franks, the kind that don’t snap like a tic, homemade applesauce, hand-cut well-done French-fried potatos, a thick heaping load of baked beans, melded with perfect amounts of molasses, maple syrup, and bacon, served piping hot. Brown as a Sherpa, perfectly shaped yet ductile, it seemed each bean had been baked individually to the boys taste. A milkshake for the boy, a coupla cups of coffee for the dad, and pie for both. The father alternated between apple and custard. The boy always ordered banana cream. “Pie is a desert men eat,” he thought to himself. After dinner, back at the printer’s, sitting in the truck waiting to hear the ring of the press bell that might barely cut through tonight’s humidity—which alerts the pressmen to mind their fingers and shirtsleeves because the press is about to roll—the boy listens carefully to his father’s stories about growing up on a Pennsylvania farm, now a municipal golf course, in the Philadelphia area. About the father’s uncles, Stanley and Artie (Artie, the blind street-lamp lighter), and how Artie scored the distance between lamps by counting his steps aloud and how his father and buddies would creep up behind Artie and blow out the wick of Artie’s lighter. About the German mechanic who taught his father not to give up on a faulty engine “It vent before. If you’ve got eet back right, eet’s gotta go.” About planting, harvesting, and Harry the Horse which was his father’s favorite horse. “This is what will happen, see? You have friends, guys you work for. It’s fun. You get a good job, one with benefits. Then you meet a girl and get married and have a place of your own with your wife. And you have kids. There

ain’t much more than that to life.” The boy found the lessons interesting and entertaining. His favorite? The first time his father drove. “One day, I was little, my Pop caught me sitting behind the wheel of his Model T truck daydreaming. He got in the other seat, and said ‘Okay, see if you can drive this thing.’ It had a foot lever choke. I started it, put it in gear and took right off. He was surprised, he said, ‘Billy, how did you know how to do that?’” “I been watching you, Pop.” They departed for home at midnight, the boy behind the wheel and the father instructing. “This guy in front of you, he’s local—should be pulling off soon. If he doesn’t, take him, or he’ll drag you all the way to Barre. You know the route?” The boy shifted in his seat. “There’s a hill up ahead. It’s straight, good to pass.” He pressed the accelerator and picked up speed. Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly.

Guest Viewpoint:

Illegal immigration: A jobs issue for those here legally

rizona's new law, Senate Bill 1070, aimed at removing illegal immigrants from that state is important to Vermonters, too. It is being called all the wrong things by the mainstream media and those portraying themselves as the champions of "immigrant rights". This law is not "racist," nor does it encourage "racial profiling", the terms used by those bent on throwing open our borders and ending American sovereignty. Nor is it "misguided", in the words of President Barack Obama, whose only priority these days seems to be doing whatever it takes to make Democrats the major political party for the foreseeable future. Rule of law? Protecting American jobs? Not on this president's radar. Where is the compassion so generously doled out to illegal immigrants by editorial writers, clerics and those seeking "social justice" for our native-born working poor of every race, creed and color? The unemployment rate among black Americans, for example, hovers around 17 percent. While the media recently noted the economic hardship in the black community wrought by the Great Recession, there was no mention of the role immigration plays. If the Obama administration is serious when it says jobs are a top priority, why is the White House remaining silent about the 7 million illegal immigrants, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, who hold non-agricultural jobs in the construction, manufacturing, transportation and service industries, while 15 million Americans are looking for full-time work? Why is our federal government each month issuing work permits to 125,000 foreigners? Last year, this nation lost 3 million jobs, but the government still issued 1.1 million green cards. Why? Coddling illegal immigrants who demand respect but show none for our immigration laws does not serve the national interest.
