The day Long Pond gave way By Betsy Day & Brian Faulkner newmarketpress@denpubs.com
GLOVER, Vt.—An earth-shattering event, set for celebration in a small Northeast Kingdom community, recalls the day when Long Pond burst its banks 200 years ago and changed people's lives forever. An engineer estimated that the pond must have contained 1.988 billion gallons of water. The event left behind incredible destruction and an entertaining story—a story that gets told and retold every June around the remnants of the Vermont pond. In fact, some folks think the story of Long Pond—now popularly called Runaway Pond—has become even bigger than the event itself. That's why most everybody in the vicinity of Glover and Barton
probably has plans to turn out the weekend of June 6 to commemorate and talk about Runaway Pond. And for people who live beyond the cluster of small communities south and west of Lake Memphremagog in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom or in fact, just about anywhere, the Runaway Pond object lesson is worth considering: that it’s just plain dumb to tinker with Mother Nature. The story begins innocently enough during the opening days of June 1810. The owner of a grist mill decided that the stream that turned his stones wasn’t working hard enough, as the countryside was in the grip of a drought that had turned the water flow to a trickle. So why not help things along? Several miles up the valley, a small pond fed his stream. And there was another,
much bigger, pond above that. Trouble was, the stream from the big pond flowed south—the other way, a fact that was not likely to change on its own considering things had been like that for something like 10,000 years. So the miller, whose name was Willson, gathered a willing crowd, hiked up the rugged valley and began digging a trench at the north end of the pond to direct what he hoped would be a workable stream down toward his mill. All went well until the first bit of water began to flow over the lip they had chopped out of the hardpan that was holding the pond back and determining that its outflow would go south instead of north, which was of no value to Willson whatsoever. The water disappeared down the hole

Vt. Legislature: the ‘Good, the Bad and the Ugly’
Moosalamoo Association to host park educators
By John McClaughry newmarketpress@denpubs.com MONTPELIER—From the standpoint of preserving the state's solvency, making life easier for revenue-generating businesses, and defending our liberties, the 2010 legislature's work is a mixed bag of the good, the bad and the ugly. Facing a $154 million deficit in January, the legislature produced what it claims is a balanced budget without broad based tax increases. In fact, in the face of Gov. JIM Douglas’ not so veiled veto threat, it even lightened the business tax burden by allowing many Vermont businesses to claim the full 9 percent domestic production credit against state taxes as well as federal. It also liberalized capital gains treatment for investments in Vermont businesses. To reach a putatively balanced general fund budget, the legislators made changes in the two state retirement plans ($17 million), and continued a state employee pay freeze ($9 million). But the remainder of this apparent fiscal miracle contains two highly suspect elements. Internal human service program changes are credited with a $39 million spending reduction, and the "Challenges for Change" initiative is "assumed" to produce another $38 million. The former is too complicated to grasp, and the latter— amusingly touted by Douglas as "reforming government"— is highly speculative. The "Challenges" effort was conceived as a way of streamlining state government and thereby saving money without reducing any programs or services. The $38 million in "assumed" savings put forth by the highly overpaid consultants last January was apparently based on no analysis at all. Next January, when another $122 million in savings must be found, be prepared to hear that much of the "assumed" Challenge for Change savings failed to materialize, and it was the other guy's fault. Perhaps the most notable achievement, other than

GOSHEN—The Moosalamoo Association, a stewardship partner with the U.S. Forest Service for the management of the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area, will host a crew of Vermont Youth Conservation Corps Park Educators providing environmental education and naturalist programming within the NRA and surrounding community. The five Park Educators will be working in the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area and in Branbury State Park, engaging in trail education projects providing environmental education to visitors and the community. Some of the focus topics will be on invasive species, Leave No Trace T ethics, & land stewardship. Leave No TraceT is a national and international program designed to assist outdoor enthusiasts with their decisions about how to reduce their impacts when they hike, camp, picnic, snowshoe, run, bike, hunt, paddle, ride horses, fish, ski or climb. Moosalamoo NRA is a 20,000-acre region of public and private land nestled in the Green Mountain National Forest. Moosalamoo's diverse ecosystem is home to a large number of plants and animals.

that wood is imported. This hurts family forest landowners and the U.S. economy. What's more, by encouraging the use of concrete and steel instead of wood, the council is ignoring locally grown, sustainable wood that is more energy efficient and a renewable resource," Robertson said. The group also discussed the importance of helping families keep their forestland intact through changes to estate tax policy for working forests. High taxes also work against family forestry. It was unknown how Vermont’s two senators and congressman will respond legislatively, through new programs or tax breaks, to support more forest-product development.

Douglas touts state’s use of federal funds Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas touted a letter he received last week from chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, James Oberstar (D-Minn.) commending Vermont for ranking first in nation for the percentage of wastewater infrastructure Recovery Act funds put out to bid, under contract, and underway. Vermont has committed all of its wastewater infrastructure funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. “The entire Recovery Act team, from our Office of Economic Stimulus and
Recovery to the Department of Environmental Conservation, has done a tremendous job ensuring that we are getting these critical infrastructure funds into our communities and creating jobs expeditiously,” said Douglas. “When Congress passed the Recovery Act last year, it was up to the states to implement much of the funding. We are doing our part to get the money into our economy quickly, while being responsible stewards of the public’s resources.” Wastewater infrastructure projects funded through ARRA include the
Twin Oaks stormwater project in South Burlington, the combined sewer overflow elimination project in Springfield and a solar panel installation project at the wastewater treatment plant in Montpelier, among others. Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Justin Johnson said of the state’s work, “With a combination of smart work and good sense, Vermont was able to identify good projects and get the stimulus funds obligated quickly and efficiently.”

Guest Viewpoint:
Illegal immigration: A jobs issue for those here legally
A
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.

Gesture politics: We the People vs. the Fed
O
ne of many subjects I didn’t learn enough about during my journey through public school, is about that now front-page-news bureaucracy, the Federal Reserve Sys-
tem. The FRS was relatively obscure years ago and we were duly taught its raison d’etre, which—in language from the Constitution’s Article 1 Section 8—requires the Congress to “…Coin money, regulate the value thereof…” and so on—a task which the legislative branch. Think about the continentals issued during the Revolution or the greenbacks issued during the Civil War. Both caused major inflation. The first were never redeemed and the second were redeemed (but in ways that were part of the reason for the 30-yearlong period of post-Civil War deflation). But those easy one-task days ended in 1978. Then, under Humphrey-Hawkins, Uncle Sam’s workload was at least doubled: it now included, under “monetary policy”, long-term growth as well as the original price stability also labeled “inflation control”. Humphrey-Hawkins has additional goals, not for the fed but for government: primarily “full employment”, “increasing production”, and “balanced trade” objectives. You already know their “success” regarding the first (full employment), which has subsequently been construed to be a collateral fed task; or at the last (balanced trade), which in plain English means action by the legislative branch to prevent overseas balance-of-payments deficits. It just didn’t happen. Given its historical economics performance record, it’s understandable that Congress wouldn’t want to take another try at its constitutionally assigned job any time soon. Those in the legislative branch could never agree on a Bank of the United States, but eventually issued temporary licenses for a first and then a second bank, both as private parties with a side ticket to do public business. Each license expired after 20 years. Thus, from 1789 to 1913, private banks coined money (actually, issued paper bank notes as well as specie coinage); there were ups and downs in inflation and deflation, but the overall record was one of a 12 percent purchasing power decline during efforts to regulate the value of American money. It took $1.12 in 1913 to buy what a dollar bought in 1789, according to the Economic History website. And then, under the notion that Progressive–only experts should run everything in 1913, Congress created a fed entity to do the job for them (and of course more skillfully than the private sector). The Economic History website also reports on the dismal result: the decline in dollar value under Federal Reserve management in the 95 years from 1913 to 2008: 95 percent. It took $22.40 to equal the earlier $1, so you might think that this double-95 is the cause of the present Congressional “Fedangst”—after all, how would a manufacturer with a 95 percent deficient-product output rate fare in the marketplace?. This fact isn’t even mentioned by one critic, Vermont’s own self-admitted socialist U.S. Sen. Bernard Sanders nor by his unlikely fellow-critic, Texas libertarian U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (with whom the former declines to co-operate on actual bill language), unless you count a brief passage in Paul’s 2009 book, titled “End the Fed”. I’d guess that every member of the legislative branch (with few glaring exceptions) is sufficiently intelligent and well-informed to know the branch’s own historical aversion to doing its own currency-management job, and to know the sorry 95/95 record of
their own creation, the Fed, in that respect, and thus I’d guess that the “Audit-the-Fed” gambit is gesture politics only, intended as street theatre with a slight risk that it might, if they lose control of the constituent activists, (think Vermont’s recent legislative Shut Down Vermont-Yankee campaign) get out of rhetorical control and into dangerous reality. Suppose that the unwanted actually happens: an audit is voted and hearings begin. Who, then, on the legislative side would speak of the Fed’s own 95/95 record? Would the present Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke recite his typical stump-speech actually claiming successful Fed stabilization of the value of the dollar, transparency in governance, and aloofness from mere politics? Presumably, Bernanke would expect no legislator to rebut by reciting the Fed’s $1 then equals $22.40 now record (which currency value decline has continued unabated on his 4-year watch, 8 percent, using Bureau of Labor Statistics data) or the notorious opacity of former Chairman Greenspan’s public comments The Fed chairman is a presidential appointee. Read a few pages from historian Thomas DiLorenzo’s book “Hamilton’s Curse” (pp.187 et seq.) for the history of the Fed’s politically-motivated tweaking of monetary policy timed to the campaign cycle. Here’s a quote from DiLorenzo: “Modern economic research has shown that the Fed has made numerous attempts to create a ‘political business cycle’, basically by using its powers over the money supply to pump up the economy with easy credit just before elections. The economist Robert Weintraub documented how Fed monetary policy shifted to fit the preferences of newly-elected Presidents in 1953, 1961, 1969, 1974, and 1977—all years in which the Presidency changed hands. The policy was based, in other words, not on what was best for the cause of economic growth and [currency] stability but on the Fed Chairman’s desire to please his boss.” Isn’t the same super low-interest rate stimulus policy being played out now? And which legislator would have the gumption to say so? Remember the Community Reinvestment Act? Since 1977 banks must lend to subprime borrowers , requiring governmentsupported enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase the worthless paperwork—now euphemistically labeled a morethan-$1-trillion Fed “asset”. The inevitable collapse started the current downturn, surely a third-rail topic for self-interested legislators. Some non-legislative branch folks want a return, from smart-expert currency management back to a dumb, mathematical gold standard. More about this topic next week. P.S.: As I concluded my efforts on this week’s column, I heard the news from Capitol Hill: the U.S. Senate formally declined to pursue its own Audit-the-Fed promise. Sometimes the actual event does confirm theoretical speculation. P.P.S.: A few days later, I learned that the U.S. Senate approved a diluted audit measure. Why not ask your Vermont U.S. senator, “did you vote to audit the Fed?” Ex-Vermont resident Martin Harris lives in soggy Tennessee.

f you discount numerous UFO and alien-abduction stories reported since the late 1940s—some fascinating, but all without a jot of proof—there isn’t much reason to suggest that intelligent species exist beyond the Earth. On the other hand, the universe is vast; intelligent civilizations may be widely separated among the less common, Sun-like stars. The idea of communicating By Lou Varricchio with ETs began in earnest during the 1960s. Researcher Frank Drake, considered the father of SETI astronomy (SETI, short for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), hosted the first SETI astronomy conference in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia in 1961. Around the time of the SETI conference, Drake used the big 26-meter diameter radio telescope of the Green Bank, W.Va., observatory to study two Sunlike star systems: Epsilon Eridani and Tau Ceti. I asked Dr. Drake about how he got the idea to use radio to eavesdrop on aliens. Following a suggestion in 1959 by Cornell University physicists Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison, Drake said he proposed listening to two nearby stars at the 1,420 megahertz frequency (1 megahertz is one million cycles per second), the socalled magic frequency of the 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen. This location on the radio dial is now considered the universe’s “waterhole”—the radio frequency at which intelligent species might consider a common place to talk and listen, much like the waterholes of Africa where animals come to drink (and humans came to hunt!). Since hydrogen is the most abundant chemical element in the universe, Cocconi and Morrison reasoned aliens might transmit radio messages across the void in an effort to establish long-distance communication between the worlds. Drake’s ad hoc effort of listening for ET radio broadcasts was called Project Ozma. “We named it after Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz’s far away realm,” Drake told me. “Needless to say, no alien broadcasts were ever detected over the months we listened to the deep sky.”

Since Project Ozma, SETI experiments have continued in the U.S. and elsewhere—also with no results. SETI research remains a hard sell, especially to elected officials doling out public funds. Public funding for the search for “little green men” has become the third rail of astronomy—witness NASA’s short-lived HRMS or High Resolution Microwave Survey Targeted Search Program of 1992-93. HRMS was ridiculed by so many U.S. Congress members that they ended up canceling the effort, just a year after it began, with considerable media-supported flourish. In the aftermath of the HRMS fiasco, organizations such as the SETI League, and the privately funded SETI Institute of Mountain View, Calif., continue hardcore scientific SETI research . The SETI field has also branched out to include optical SETI, the search for visible alien transmissions—such as laser beams—that might, it’s theorized, be a better means of communications over vast distances than radio. With the SETI, the question remains: do we really want to contact other intelligent species? And will they be friendly or hostile? What’s in the Sky: This week, look north near the constellation Cassiopiea. With binoculars, you can see the open star cluster Stock 2. Draw lines from Miram in Pegasus up to Eps Cas in Cassiopeia to Ruchbah and back to Miram. Object is about 10°12° above the horizon. Many deep space objects here. See clusters NGCs 884 and 869, Mel 13, and Cr 33. Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., is a former senior science writer at the NASA Ames Researcg Center.

Long-term care a worry An AARP survey report released last month shows that nearly 30 percent of older Vermonters list long-term care affordability as the top concern they think state government should address, followed by the cost of health care in general. Over half of the respondents stated that they are expecting Medicare or Medicaid to finance some of their longterm care costs. However, Medicare does not actually cover these costs, and
Vermont Medicaid covers home and community based or nursing home care only for those financially eligibility. Some 36 percent of AARP members said they plan to use personal and retirement savings to fund care, while a quarter (24 percent) expects to use part of the proceeds from the sale of their home to pay for needed care. In addition, as many as 65 percent of those surveyed said they would prefer to receive long-term care services at home.
AARP’s Vermont membership is reflective of the state’s aging population as a whole. The telephone survey of age 50-plus AARP members was completed in January. The survey also addressed transportation, access to health care services/providers, affordable housing and economic security concerns. The full report is available online at AARP Vermont Member Survey or by calling 802-951-1303.

HISTORIC FARMS—The story of Shelburne Farms is told via the lives of a collection of small family farmers on Shelburne Point in Shelburne to its 19th century transformation as a model agricultural estate. The 1,400-acre working farm is now an environmental education center and a National Historic Landmark. Author Erica Donnis, a former curator at the site, spent years gathering the history of the original farm owners and the establishing of Shelburne Farms in the mid-1880.
schools, as a leader in the Farm to School movement. At a Farm to School Summit in Addison County earlier this month, the Vermont Senate Agriculture Committee presented a resolution to Abbie Nelson, director of Vermont FEED, stating that, “Vermont is a leader in Farm to School programs and attributed this
success largely to Vermont FEED.” National attention is focused on Vermont’s approach to getting children to make healthier food choices in school cafeterias, teaching students about agriculture and nutrition in the classroom, and supporting local farmers through community involvement.
Historians to discuss antebellum farming in Addison County Explore the history of Vermont’s 19th century farmers at Rokeby Museum on Sunday, May 23, at 2 p.m. Two historians will present some fascinating stories. Amy Mincher will introduce Prince King, who farmed on a hillside in Middlebury from 1840 until his death near-
ly forty years later. Elise Guyette’s work on a cluster of farm families who lived in Hinesburg for generations has just been published in Discovering Black Vermont. She will compare this extended clan of black farmers to King. Books will be available for sale and signing.

School union disunity
A
NwSU Superintendent O‘Brien continues to provide information to the public that lacks critical information so voters can be accurately informed. Recently, O’Brien said in a newspaper story, “Misinformation, and in some cases disinformation” might have improperly influenced the vote. I continue to strongly disagree with Mr. O’Brien. Superintendent O’Brien stated in another newspaper account that “I can‘t think of a situation in which a town would end up spending more money to buy back a school than it received for it.” Well, I sure can—it’s found in Title 16 V.S.A 724 Withdrawal from or dissolution of a unified union school district. If a town wants to leave the union; first, the town must have a majority approval. Second, the other district towns must have a majority approval. Third, the commissioner of education will advise the state board of education for final approval and “…The board shall declare the membership of the withdrawing town or city to be at an end as of July 1 immediately following or as soon thereafter as the obligations of the withdrawing district have been paid to, agreement made with, the union school district in an amount satisfactory to the electorate of each of the other towns and cities within the unified union school district.” This is exactly why Addison and sister towns need time to seek legal advice before entering into the union. What is said in public doesn’t match up with what is in writing. I disagree that the root cause of Addison’s penalties is the decline of the school’s student count from 140 eight years ago to a projected 104 next year, as Superintendent O‘Brien stated (Independent 13, 2010). I believe the facts support that our penalties stemmed from Addison not downsizing with their student population decline, even more so top heavy administration costs including the superintendent’s school assessments. At one point the question has to change from “Can the system afford small schools, to can small schools afford the system”. This disagreement could be resolved if assessments and comparisons of the ANwSU office and local schools were studied. Is there evidence that the current system is cost effective and efficient? Superintendent O‘Brien seemed to boast in his statement, “Articles of agreement were delivered twice to the town clerk’s office“. Truly, this is not the evidence of true transparency. These Articles were on the voting ballot to be approved by the voters, “(e) Final Report. The provisions of the Revised Final Report approved by the State Board of Education, on December 15, 2009 which is on file in the Addison Town Clerk‘s office, shall govern the unified union school district.” How would the voters know that the articles of agreement were in the clerk’s office, even if they were delivered

chool choice has been a hotter than expected topic in Vermont ever since the issue of school district consolidation seriously reared its head this year. The measure, which could potentially end Vermont's 140 year history in 90-odd towns of allowing parents to use tax 66215 dollars to send their children to non-religious schools of their own choosing, has stirred up a hornets nest of pro-school-choice activity from families, communities and independent schools. These restless natives are of growing concern to many under the Golden Dome, particularly in the Democratic leadership, whose first loyalties go to the Vermont 10am to 5pm (both days) NEA, an organization rabidly opposed to school choice, particularly when that choice includes independent schools. This sentiment was vividly on display in the House Ways & Means Committee when Rep. Alison Clarkson (D-Woodstock) was incredulous that some modest language intended to protect school choice had been added to the school district consolidation bill by the House Education Committee. Clarkson stated firmly that the current debate was an opportunity to "capture" - her word - children who currently have choice and "designate" them back into the union controlled public school system. Rep. Clarkson expressed

SATURDAY May 22, 2010 twice? ANwSU could have included this information in their mailings. Is this misinformation or disinformation? The voter ’s are entering into a contract with the new union. These articles should have been talked about extensively in local newspapers, in the unified forums, in all school board and select board meetings, and sent for legal review. Transparency would have said, “Here’s the contract, what do you think? Read through Title 16. This is the new law under unified districts. The full report is posted on-line and a copy is at each school, a couple of town stores and the clerks office. Stop by and read it.” Delivering the contract twice to the town clerk’s office is not the transparency we deserved. How can debt load “even out in the long run”, as Superintendent O’Brien reasoned. Addison will be debt free in three and one-half years (union board presentation) Addison has had a capital account that has kept our buildings in impeccable condition and in the new Unified Union we are prevented from continuing this account. Addison currently has a $278 per eq. pupil debt load. When entering the union, this debt load increases to $717 per eq. pupil debt load. (union board presentation) If this is truly about saving Addison as O’Brien stated? (Independent 13, 2010) Then prove it. Revise the Articles of Agreement and put it in writing. Take the power to “close our school” away from the new union board, where Addison only has two representatives out of twelve. Give the sole power of school closure to the town where the school exists, where the power belongs,and rent our building instead of owning it. Closing schools will only hurt the town where they exist. Superintendent O‘Brien has become truly transparent in describing the consequences resulting from the taxpayers voting against unified districts, “It will mean programs and people.” This statement scares me to death. ANwSU will strip our children of their right to an appropriate education by striping their “programs and people” and leave the administration untouched. Administration should be downsized before direct teaching is taken from our children and I hope every parent, taxpayer and teacher will stand against this agenda. ANwSU needs to cut from the supervisory budget and administration and bring the Junior High math position back to a student population low in NECAP math scores. (Vt. Department of Education web-site only 1 percent of Juniors at Vergennes are proficient with distinction and only 31 percent are proficient in math fall of 2009) Superintendent O’Brien, the cutting of “programs and people” should start in your office not in our children‘s classroom. Superintendent O’Brien voiced concern “that one line from a long statement he made supporting unification was used out of context in a weekend flyer opposing unification.” The flyer included this quote, “It is important, however that we not be rushed to judgment and risk losing what makes our school system ours.” Addison has been ask to do that very thing and we’ve chosen to slow down, take local control, and examine all options for our town to consider before the next vote. Carol Kauffman worry that if parents in her own town of Woodstock were given a choice, they might actually choose the Upper Valley Waldorf School down the road in Quechee over the Woodstock public schools. Looking at UVWS's website and the environment they offer, it's easy to see how she might be right. But even so, how is this a bad thing for the kids, who would get to participate in a great program presumably chosen to fit their learning styles, or, for that matter, the taxpayers of Woodstock? The top tuition rate at the independent Waldorf school is $10,800 for 6th-8th grade (and this number is higher than the actual cost per student, as roughly 30 percent of students at UVWS receive financial aid). On the other hand, the cost to send a kid to the Woodstock public schools, according to testimony in House Ways & Means, is about $16,000. So, if the citizens of Woodstock had full school choice, those children who's education needs would be better served by an environment like the Upper Valley Waldorf School's would have a better opportunity to thrive, and at the same time the taxpayers of Woodstock could realize a savings of over 30 percent per student who chooses to go there. Yet this is exactly what Woodstock's representative in the House is aggressively pledging to kill. Go figure. Rep. Clarkson made her true objectives pretty clear: Union controlled schools are losing students at the rate of about 1 percent a year. In order to prop up the system and the union that almost exclusively endorses and donates to democratic candidates, the legislature's job should be to deliver to the unions by force the students they have failed to attract by voluntary choice. If our public schools are as "wonderful" as we say they are, said Clarkson, the legislature should be "encouraging" (a serious euphemism for what she's proposing) Vermont families to use them. As offensive as this attitude is on its own, it is made more so by the fact that Rep. Clarkson, who vehemently opposes school choice for all Vermonters of all income levels, did not choose Vermont's public schools for her own children. She chose to send her kids to private prep school in Connecticut. As a parent, she no doubt did what was best for her children. Sadly, the children of the parents whom she represents don't get equal consideration. As this debate continues, Vermonters have to ask themselves if the right to find and choose the best educational opportunity for our kids belongs only to the wealthy and powerful, like Rep. Alison Clarkson, or if it is something we have a moral obligation to offer all to all of Vermont's children. And if we can save money at the same time, so much the better. Rob Roper

He says kids are the reason he loves life so. A girl moved from a small Vermont town to San Francisco to experience living a specific lifestyle, a lifestyle many would call strange.

he month of May marks the high water mark of the Lane Series concerts in Vermont, yes, even among the numerous spectacular concerts in this season that had been scheduled by Jane Ambrose and company—to wit, a recent, brilliant program of duets by Soovin Kim, violin, and Ieva Jokobaviciute, piano; this event brought the audience to its feet several times to record their satisfaction with both the music and in particular with the performance of the music. A late work by Schubert, Rondeau Brilliante in B Minor D895, was the only composition of the evening which edged close to the more traditional function of the piano as accompanist. I found the Rondeau not so interesting musically, but its uniqueness in the canons of Schubert’s musical output can certainly cause the concert-goer to expect some performances of it. More to the point was the Sonata for Violin and Piano by Debussy, a gorgeous example of impressionistic music and of parity between players. The panels of sound, programless, let them speak for themselves, and a dialogue between piano and violin was a natural outgrowth of the flow of the music per se and did

front door jam. The other day the woodchuck ran rippling into his hole, about faced, stuck his snout just out the hole and looked at the guy. The guy watched the woodchuck for a long while. He thinks ground hogs are cute. My cat calls to me to follow her out to the deck. She jumps on the old grayed out Adirondack chair, scratches her nails, and purrs, while I rub all along her back. It’s chilly here as I type this piece, but I will not start a fire. A middle-aged man hikes Mt. Mansfield, in the winter, in all fashions of weather, with his one and a half year-old daughter attached by harness following behind in a mini-boggin.

You didn’t think they could? There are people in bands playing Cuban music. Behind my house, what essentially is, though I don’t own it, my back yard, is a too hundred-acre piece of a six-mile long stretch named, Worcester Ridge. The parcel makes for dandy hiking. Near the apex of the ridge looking out to the west, one can scan a panorama from Camel’s Hump, north as far as Lowell. From there, a three-minute hike to the apex of the ridge allows you to view a panorama of the east that includes most of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, and all of New Hampshire’s Presidential mountain range. Oooo, aaah! On the way down from the ridge today, I thought maybe— some day—I’d plant some marijuana plants in the woods off the hiking road. I don’t smoke dope, never did, and never will. I wouldn’t have a clue how to get hemp seeds. But I could make some extra money selling it. Of course, I won’t do that. But if you want to, you should go right on ahead. Above are short comments on a few, out of a zillion things, one can do in Vermont. Hey bored people, do you feel a little silly? Boredom is boring; it’s a state that should once and for all be dragged to the trash bin.
not need any words for meaning. It was a glorious representation of all of Debussy’s linkage to impressionist paintings and the poetry of Apollonaire Natalie Neuert asked us to sit for a moment while recognition was made of Jane Ambrose for 23 years of service as president of the Lane Series. The gift to her was a composition titled Wild Ambrosia for violin and piano by Pierre Jalbert, a composer who grew up in Burlington. The composition was based on a fournote theme that grew out of her last name (in German). The work is not just another dedicatory composition, for like Ambrose herself, the work is clear structurally and it develops naturally and meaningfully. The work received a stellar performance. One copy of the Labert score will be placed in the UVM music librar, and Ambrose will receive the other (Neuert announced that this was the first of three commissions that the board had funded, the other two being due in each of the next two seasons). After intermission, the concert concluded with two quite disparate compositions: Five Melodies, Op. 35 of Prokofiev and the Violin Sonata in G Major, and Op. 96 (“1812...”). Prokofiev achieved a great deal in the pieces and every nuance of the pieces came through in the performance. Beethoven’s Sonata opens with a violin trill that is answered by the piano and then it is repeated in reverse order. From that exuberant start, the entire four movements sprang forth in uncompromisingly happy music, which the performers realized perfectly. Musicmaking of this caliber seldom comes to us live, and when it does, I hope we all realize the rarity of such perfection. It makes me even more eager for the second instalment of the Lake
Champlain Chamber Music Festival, the brochure for which was included in the Lane Series program. In accepting the appointment as president of the Lane Series, Neuerrt takes on a huge responsibility; she has worked most closely with Ms. Ambrosia for a number of years. The board will have to work together with the same fervor that they exhibited under Jane Ambrose’s presidency, and the announcement that in addition to Wild Ambrosia two other commissions have been requested—once for each of the next two seasons—is hopefully the vision for the future. (Then, too, the liaison with all the representatives of the artists who have come through Burlington and especially the Van Cliburn winners will have to be maintained.) The first time I saw Ambrose on the stage of the Redstone Recital Hall, she read from a book written by Gottschalk, the 19th century pianist and composer; there’s was a description of the first Episcopal bishop of Vermont’s musicianship and his musical sons and that is how she remains in my memory—the epitome of scholarship and enthusiasm rolled into oan irrepressible entity who lit up every room in which she found herself. She will be missed.

Ritter sisters lead Tigers past Rebels, 15-10 By Frederick Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com
Last Friday in South Burlington, in front of what can only be described as a very unfriendly home crowd, MUHS sisters Katie and Chrissy Ritter combined to score 11 goals and provide four assists to lead their Tigers past the hometown Rebels 15-10 in girl high school lacrosse action. Junior Katie Ritter led the charge with 7 goals and 3 assists, while Chrissy added four more goals and an assist of her own. Tied at the half 6-6 the visiting Tigers turned it on in the final half, outscoring their hosts 9-4 to pull out a 15-10 win. Liz Kelley contributed a hat trick of her own while Shelby Laframboise rounded out Middlebury’s scoring with a goal and an assist. The Tigers improve 8-3 with the win. Lauren Mihan scored two goals and provided two assists to lead the Rebels, offense. To round out their scoring Crystal King also scored two goals and had an assist, with Allie Flaherty and Brittany LeClair matched her pair of goals. Anne-Marie Farmer tallied (one assist), and Mattea Ringey had one goal. South Burlington fell to 6-3 on the season. Things didn’t go as well for the boys team when they hosted the Burligton Seahorses last Saturday. Burlington got their first win of the season when Grady Breen scored with 48 seconds left in overtime giving the Seahorses a 4-
3 win over the hot Tigers. Derek Schueler had a hat trick to lead Burlington, who improved to 1-11 with the win. Goalie Luke Gallagher preserved the win by making five critical saves. Jake Miller, Nick Bruch and Kyle Rouse scored for the hometown Tigers. Cody Mannigan (two saves) and Taylor Wood (four saves) combined to make a half dozen saves for Middlebury, who dropped to 1-9 on the year. In Vergennes the same afternoon Noel Kerr scored four goals to lead his visiting Montpelier Salons to an 11-4 rout of the hometown Commodores. Andrew Ehret contributed another three goals and Bennett Augustoni added a pair for the victorious Salons. Colin O’Mera and Shawn Leene rounded out Montpelier ’s scoring with single tallies, while goalie Derek Mercadente made eight saves in the net. Montpelier improved to 4-6 on the year with the road win. Gary Grant, Ethan Baldwin and Joe Krayewski scored for Vergennes. In the net for the Commodores, who remained winless at 09, Eric Averill made an impressive 19 saves. Again on last Saturday, this time in Hinesburg, the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks had little difficulty remaining undefeated, pinning an 11-3 loss on the visiting BFA-St. Albans Bobwhites. Taylor Gingras and Lawrence Dee led the Redhawks offensive attack. Gingras provided four goals and one assist while Dee added a goal and five assists to the win. Justin Beaudry and Nathaniel Wells contributed a pair goals each, while Nick Hart and Jake
Marston chipped in with single goals Eric Palmer and Sean Keenan combined for eight saves for CVU, who improved to 12-0 on the year. The Bobwhites first goal cam from an unlikely source, their goalie Kaleb Nichols, who fired an unassisted full field goal in the opening period. Nichols also made 11 saves in the net. BFA-St. Albans also got single goals from Ben Thieken and Ben Roberts. Tigers And Rebels Split Baseball, Softball The Champlain Valley Union Redhawks took advantage of eight unearned runs last Saturday in Middlebury to roll past the hometown Tigers 13-4 in high school baseball action. Andrew Nick had a great day at the plate to lead CVU’s offense. Nick had four hits, including three doubles, and he drove in three. Tucker Kohlasch contributed another two hits including an RBI triple while Timothy Jones also had two hits and two RBIs. Andrew Leckerling was he winning pitcher for CVU. In his even innings of work Nick allowed five hits with eight strikeouts. The Redhawks improved to 6-5 with the win.
Ryan Foley and Patrick Foley had two hits each from the Tigers in defeat. Foley’s two hits included a booming RBI triple. Jimmy Danyow took the loss for Middlebury, who fell to 1-10 on the year. But in the same town, on the same day the results were different on the softball diamond. Led by Jess Gipson, the Middlebury Tigers came from behind to defeat the visiting Champlain Valley Union Redhawks 6-5 in high school softball action. Gipson bunted in the tying run, and scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh. Theresa Huestis led the Tiger ’s offense by going 2-for-3 with a run scored and she drove one in as well. Lea Gipson, the winning pitcher allowed three runs on just three hits and 11 strikeouts in her five innings of work. The Tigers improved to 7-4 with the win. Leah Leister paced CVU at the plate, going 2-for-3 with four RBIs. Cayla McCartney worked the entire game on the hill for the Redhawks, picking up seven strikeouts along with the loss. The defeat dropped CVU to 3-8 on the year.
Devil’s Bowl Speedway gets a new topper Season opens May 23 WEST HAVEN—After months of hard work, Devil's Bowl Speedway has been transformed from a dirt race track to a modern paved speedway. The venerable track has been an institution in western Vermont since 1967 and will be opening its 44th season of racing on May 23 on a brand new asphalt surface provided by Wilks Paving of West Rutland. "Working with a local company like Wilks is the way I like to do business," said track promoter Jerry Richards. "Chris Wilks has been with me every step of the way and I couldn't be happier with the final product. We worked together using input from Mike Perrotte (promoter of Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh) and Tom Curley (promotor of Thunder Road in Barre) to design the progressive banking in order to turn this clay track into a paved surface that would provide the same level of excitement and competitive racing that we're used to." Jerry and brother Bruce Richards (promoter at Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, N.Y.), along with sister Sharon Richards, are partners of both race tracks and owners since 2005. In the past, Jerry managed the facilities while Bruce handled the promotional responsibilities. This year Bruce will take on all aspects of management at AlbanySaratoga and Jerry will do the same at Devil's Bowl. Jerry noted "Bruce lives in New York and I live in Vermont. It just made good business sense. It would have been a big enough learning curve for both of us without the decision to go to pavement, but we've been through a lot together and he's learning from me at the same time I'm learning from him. As far as the asphalt goes, we're

Having the advice of the other nearby pavement promoters has been invaluable. Richards noted, “In working together, we hope to maintain and even strengthen local short track racing. It's a tough business, seasonal and dependent on weather and you have to have a certain amount of backbone to be in it year after year. Having grown up with it, it's in our blood and none of us can really imagine doing anything else, so this is a big gamble for us, but one we feel will really pay off going forward." The season opener is scheduled for Sunday, May 23, and will feature the Thunder Road late models in a 100 lap race to christen the new pavement. Devil's Bowl has also been fortunate to have some very important partners sign on to support local racing in 2010. CocaCola Products has been instrumental in helping with schedule distribution, and will provide all beverages this year at the speedway. The May 30 Tri-Track Series
Modified Race is presented by Chittenden Bank. LaValley's Building Supply is holding their Employee's Night at the Races on June 6, and Ace Carting Corp. of Fort Ann is sponsoring the traditional Fourth of July show, in addition to bringing two race teams all season. Heritage Family Credit Union sponsors the Renegade Roundup on Aug. 15 and will continue the tradition of saying thank you to their customers by admitting all HFCU members into the grandstand for free that night. Brown’s Quarried Slate has returned as a sponsor, and CRM Specialties of Orwell has come on board for the first time. The first two events on May 23 and May 30 are $15 adult tickets, while adult admission for regular shows remains only $10, and this year all children 12 and under will be admitted free. Racing will begin an hour earlier with a 6 p.m. start time. Up-to-date information and the complete racing schedule can be found on the internet at devilsbowlspeedwayvt.com and the speedway telephone is 802-2653112.

THE EAGLE - 9
CVPS acquires Vt. Marble Power from Omya RUTLAND—Central Vermont Public Service announced May 4 that it will purchase the assets and service territory of the Vermont Marble Power Division of Omya Inc. for $33.2 million. Included in the sale are rights to serve about 890 customers in Proctor, including the Omya industrial facility in Florence, which will become CV's single-largest customer. Significantly, the sale also includes four hydroelectric facilities with a combined capacity of 18.1 megawatts. "This purchase will create economies of scale that will benefit all of our customers, and will lead to expansion of the generation output from the four Vermont Marble dams through increased investment," CVPS President Bob Young said. "It maintains Vermont control over the plants, which produce clean, reliable energy, and expands CV's role as the operator of the largest fleet of renewable hydroelectric generators in the state." Young said there would be significant benefits to the purchase: It continues the state-supported consolidation of Vermont's electric utilities, creating further economies of scale. CV will invest in upgrades and repairs that will improve hydroelectric output from the plants. CV plans to invest $12 million to upgrade the Vermont Marble facilities and operate them in consort with CV’s existing Otter Creek hydro operations.
CV will invest in the Vermont Marble system, immediately replacing the main substation at the Proctor hydro site and spreading the approximate $1.5 million cost over CV's 159,000 customers rather than just Vermont Marble's customers. CV will be able to provide Proctor residents and businesses with greater resources. For example, in the event of major storms, CV has nearly 30 line workers within an hour's drive of Proctor. CV offers choices and services Vermont Marble customers don't have today, including automatic bill payments through CVPS Electripay, on-line bill payments, CVPS Cow Power(TM), various rate choices,budget billing, on-line bill review and outage information, and in thenear future, CVPS SmartPower(TM), an advanced automated meterreading, outage detection and power management system. "We welcome the opportunity to serve the people and businesses of Proctor that we don't currently serve," Young said. Other than industrial rates, Vermont Marble currently has the lowest rates in Vermont, largely because the company has subsidized residential customers for decades. Vermont Marble recently filed a rate case and rate redesign proposal which may increase residential rates increase up to nearly 24 percent absent the sale. Additionally, Vermont Marble said it has told state regulators it will need further increas-
R. Brown & Sons
es if it maintains ownership of the company over the next couple of years, in part due to the substation work that is needed. Depending on how the rate design portion of Vermont Marble's case is concluded, small commercial and streetlighting rates may be higher than CV's rates. Residential customers are likely to pay more with CV, but the impact is unclear pending outcome of the Vermont Marble case, which will conclude before the sale. "Even for those customers who pay more, I believe CV will represent a good value," Young said. "We continue to offer rates that are among the lowest of any major utility in the Northeast. We continue to score extremely high in customer satisfaction studies conducted by J.D. Power and Associates, and we continue to excel in customer service and reliability, meeting all of our 17 service quality and reliability standards for six straight years -- the best record in the state." The reliability of power to VMPD's customers will remain consistent as the transaction takes place. The sale, expected to be completed by year-end 2010, is subject to the approval process set forth by the Vermont Public Service Board. The transaction also requires approval of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

10 - THE EAGLE
Legislature From page 1 avoiding a veto battle, was putting the Unemployment Insurance program back on track, after recession-incurred payouts drove it well into the red. Businesses saw their taxable wage base rise from $8,000 to $16,000 (in 2012); unemployed workers saw their benefits delayed a week, and then frozen at the present $425 a week maximum. This issue will have to be revisited again, as early as next year. The legislature agreed to bond $10 million for a new mental health facility for the 15 most difficult or dangerous patients. The federally-decertified Vermont State Hospital has been a costly sinkhole for a decade, mainly because the bureaucracy cannot conceive of "treatment" that does not involve "facilities" staffed by certified professionals and unionized workers. One bright spot was the disappearance in the Senate of the House passed-bill to force Entergy to set millions aside to restore the Vermont Yankee site in Vernon to the "green-
SATURDAY May 22, 2010
field" condition once enjoyed by the Abenakis. The next legislature will come to grips with the need of Vermont businesses, farms, schools, governments and ratepayers for Yankee's 285 Mw of reliable, bargain-priced base load electricity. As one observer was heard to say, “If they don't, you'll know who to blame for Vermont’s brownouts.” Another bright spot was the disappearance of the shopworn mandatory seat belt bill. Both chambers did agree on a texting while driving ban on under-18 drivers, and primary seat belt enforcement for them only. If the police abuse this provision, only non-voting teenagers will feel the brunt of it. One “ugly” provision was the passage of Sen. Racine's latest government health care takeover bill. This politically motivated proposal will shell out yet another quarter million dollars to yet another consultant to design three more plans, all of them coercive, bureaucratic, expensive, and destructive of our health care providers. This issue will be fought again starting in January. The other really “ugly” provision was a voluntary redistricting measure for public schools, supposedly in the name of cost efficiency (undocumented and highly dubious). The
parents in every school district whose voters agree for it to join a new Regional Education District, other than a remarkable mega-district that operates no schools at all, will find that their cherished educational choices have been handed over to the regional educrats who view parental choice as a mortal threat to their careers and job security. Tuition towns will be allowed to go it alone and keep their parental choice, but continual official pressure and the enticement of property tax rate reductions will eventually extinguish, rather than expand, this popular Vermont practice. The 2010 legislative outcome was, as usual, a mixed bag. Let's hope that next biennium there will be a lot less of the bad and the ugly. That of course will depend on the men and women Vermont voters elect this November.

Long Pond From page 1 they had dug to start the trench. Soon, more water began to flow over the edge and down the hole and then even more water than that, which turned the fine sand they had been digging in to a soupy sort of quicksand. That, in turn, undermined the hardpan of the pond and the whole thing gave way with a flourish. The valley drops 600 feet from Runaway Pond to Orleans for an average of about 40 feet per mile. The water ran out of the pond in 1 hour and 15 minutes, but the mud ran out for hours. The water reached Lake Memphremagog in 4 hours and reportedly raised the level there 1 foot. The initial surge took trees with it, building up a log jam, stopping the flood temporarily until the water pressure behind the jam backed up, causing another breakthrough. This scenario kept recurring in the flood's progress down to Barton. The results of the flood can still be seen today in the village of Barton and elsewhere in the Barton River valley. Somehow, the men weren’t swept away and
lived to tell the tale, which is this: the pond that had no practical purpose until that time suddenly proceeded to create a significant legend for itself and run away down the swampy valley, making enough noise in the process that folks even miles off were convinced that Judgment Day had arrived. It carved out the little pond below, ripping up whole forests and generally creating chaos until eventually reaching the vicinity of Willson’s grist mill. The water proceeded in fits and starts, first turning trees to kindling and then piling them up like a dam before breaking through again and resuming the path of destruction. That gave a fellow named Chamberlain time to run ahead and warn the miller’s wife to get out just in time (or so the legend grows). From there, Long Pond ran away toward Lake Memphremagog off in the distance, which is so big it probably never even noticed the new arrival. In its wake, the steep valley got filled with mud and busted up forest, which is where, in time , Glover Village decided to build itself, where the aforementioned commemoration is being held. Drive Vermont Route 16 today—which runs through the area from Hardwick to Barton along the path of the former Long Pond—

where you can still see some of its effects: a scooped out area where the pond used to be, its former shoreline marooned a good way up the steep hillsides that surround its former resting place; the small shallow pond below (later called Mud Pond for obvious reasons, then Tilldy’s Pond, and finally Clark Pond) and a bit farther on, Glover Village itself, which probably would have been put somewhere else had it not been for Runaway Pond. What would have happened had the Miller Willson and his rough and ready crew not tipped the scales of Mother Nature and released the deluge? Would the pond have held? Or would it have run away on its own at some later, more inopportune time? And should that be the case, where would Glover Village and all the good folks further downstream in Barton and Orleans be today? It’s worth pondering. The Runaway Bicentennial celebration begins June 4 at the historic plaque that marks the original location of the pond before it ran away. There will be opportunities to walk the path of destruction and a reenactment of Chamber-
lain’s tumultuous run for those hardy souls who choose to participate (and who pre-register). There will be bus tours that go from the former pond to the present day Glover Village site, 5.5 miles down the road. Gov. Jim Douglas will be there and there’s even a chance to dunk the hapless miller, Aaron Willson, which he probably richly deserved. Donations to help support the events are cheerfully solicited.

A plant called ‘Gus’: Asparagus tips By Charlie Nardozz and Dr. Leonard Perry As soon as the soil thaws and is dry enough to work in the Rutland County area, plant bareroot asparagus crowns. Choose a spot in full sun for these long-lived perennials. Set roots in a 1foot-deep trench, then cover roots with a few inches of soil that's been amended with compost. Add more soil as the plants grow until the trench is full. Raised beds dry out faster and warm up more quickly in spring than regular garden beds, so include at least a few in your landscape for early planting. They can be as simple as a flattopped mound of soil, or as elaborate as decorative stone- and wood-framed beds. Fill them with soil that's been amended with lots of compost. Whatever you choose, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well plants grow. If your rhubarb plants seem crowded, plan to divide them as soon as the ground thaws. Choose a cloudy, cool day, dig up the whole crown, and break off the young side shoots, try-
ing to keep as many roots intact as possible. Transplant the mother plant back in the original hole amended with a shovel full of compost, and plant the babies in a full sun location.Harvest the young plants lightly, if at all, the first year. If new shoots of your pear, apple, or hawthorn are blackened as though they were burned, that's a sign of fire blight disease. This bacterial disease, if severe, can eventually kill your trees. To control it, prune off infected areas several inches below the damage. Dip your pruners in a weak bleach solution between pruning cuts to avoid spreading the disease to other trees. You may start to see damage from road salt. To help flush the salt from the soil, water the lawn near roads and walkways several times, especially during dry periods. This will help move the salt down into the subsoil. Once this salt is removed, then you can begin to prepare the thin spots in the lawn for reseeding. Prepare bare-root roses by pruning away any damaged roots, then soak the roots in water for several hours. Dig a hole 18 inches deep and
wide, and create a mound of soil in the center. Place the roots in the hole, arranging them around the mound and adjusting the height so the graft is at or just below ground level. Fill in around the roots, firming soil gently, and water well. Mound mulch over the tops to protect the canes while the roots take hold. After a long winter it's tempting to buy those first seedlings, flowers, and vegetable transplants you see on sale. Just remember these are tender and can be killed easily by freezing tem-
peratures and frosts. This especially is true as most, early in the season, come from greenhouses or southern climates and haven't been hardened off to cool nights. If you do buy now, make sure to not plant out until the last frost date in Rutland County (through mid-June in the Killington area). Bring plants indoors on cold or frosty nights. If you plant in window boxes and containers, make sure these can be carried indoors too if needed.

Students behind in math, science From News Reports Vermont students and those in other states are behind in math, science, according to Physics Today magazine. American children aren't necessarily getting smarter or dumber, but that might not be good enough to compete globally, according to numbers cited by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Duncan noted a special analysis put out by the National Center for Education Statistics in 2009 that compares 15-year-old U.S. students with students from other countries in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. The report found U.S. students placed below average in math and science, and that 16 of the 29 other participating OECD member countries outperformed their U.S. peers in terms of average scores.
In the raw: dairy class at Hannaford Center MIDDLEBURY—Rural Vermont will host a raw dairy processing class in Middlebury. Join Cara Taussig and Rural Vermont for another introductory raw dairy processing class, Thursday, May 20. The class will be held from 3-6 pm at the Hannaford Career Center. Spend the afternoon learning how to make butter, yogurt and queso blanco (a firm farmer cheese similar in consistency, but not taste, to tofu). Tausigg will guide the class through making and tasting these three products. The class will cover dairy processing basics, and will include information about how and where to purchase raw milk in the area.
