Veterans, suicide and why we fight Ò ...Remember Charlie, remember Baker They left their childhood on every acre And who was wrong? And who was right?

It didnÕ t matter in the thick of the fight...” Ò Goodnight Saigon” by Billy Joel s a Vietnam War veteran, I kept a low visibility during the national holidays. I had my share of run-ins with individuals with ideas that differed with mine, which at times resulted in abrupt discourse during passing discussions. Seldom did I take offense quietly.

Before I went into the service, I was a quiet, reserved person; I kept to myself. Not quite a loner, but I did enjoy my solitude growing up in New York.

But the Vietnam War and the U.S. Army changed all that.

The military doesnÕ t promote assertiveness, it promotes aggressiveness. Controlled to be sure, it is necessary for survival.

Aggressiveness isnÕ t something that can be turned off easily.

Vietnam Vets Memorial a lasting tribute

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

SHARON Ñ When VermontÕ s Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated at a large public gathering on Oct. 30 1982, the national wounds of the decade-long Indo-Chinese war were still largely unhealed. Over 135 Vermonters died in the war; their stone-etched namesÑ along with color and monochrome photographs of their wartime experiences—stand as a lasting tribute to their blood sacrifice.

Two weeks after VermontÕ s memorial opened in the Town of Sharon at the stateÕ s Welcome Center along Interstate 89Ñ the Vietnam Veterans Memorial HighwayÑ the U.S. Vietnam Memorial Wall opened with sustained national attention.

Considering the high price paid by VermontÕ s Vietnam veterans, the Sharon memorial fell quickly on hard times.

By the mid-1990s, the memorial was on the endangered list as Montpelier listed rest areas, including Sharon, on the closure list. In response to the threat to the memories of their fallen brothers and sisters, members of the Vietnam veterans of America Vermont State Council rallied to save the memorial. Ò On the phones, in communities, and in the halls of the State House, they reminded lawmakers of this cherished tribute. The governor and legislators listened, pledging to keep the monument in Sharon and to involve veterans in planning anew center,Ó according to Louise Ransom, a Gold Star mother of a Vietnam veteran at the time.

Guest Viewpoint: Of Henny Penny and bookstores

f youÕ re in business Ð no matter what business Ð you know that having to listen to the odd Henny Penny is an occupational hazard.

You remember Henny Penny, the childrenÕ s storybook character who felt an acorn drop on its head and believed the sky was falling?

The folk tale has become the seminal example of a hysterical, uninformed and mistaken belief that disaster is imminent.

Recently, some Henny Pennys have begun clucking about the future of bookstores. The rise of digital content, online selling and broader retail distribution, they say, will kill bookstores.

Why, they ask, will people go to a bookstore when they can buy books online or at department stores?

Feeding the hysteria are the bankruptcy two years ago of Borders, the national bookstore chain, and recent speculation that Barnes & Noble will accelerate its bookstore closings in coming years. Some have even suggested the demise of B&N is so imminent that gift cards should be used immediately upon receiving them because the companyÕ s financial foundations are shaky.

To paraphrase one of our nationÕ s great writers, Mark Twain, the reports of bookstoresÕ death have been greatly exaggerated. Here are the facts: Barnes & Noble has not adjusted its plan for store closings. Historically, we have closed about 15 stores a year

for the past 10 years. Of that number, some of the stores were closed because they were unprofitable, while others were relocations to better properties. Barnes & Noble has great real estate in prime locations and the companyÕ s new management team is fully committed to the retail concept for the long term.

Why are we so committed? There are several reasons, all focused on delighting our customers. No other retailer can match the selection of books available at every Barnes & Noble location, supported by awardwinning customer service.

Just look at the success of last holiday season to see if we are getting it right.

Our financial foundation is solid, and we have a strong balance sheet. Barnes & Noble ended the most recent quarter with $490 million in cash, $276 million higher than the prior year, with no draw on its $1 billion credit facility.

As for the threat of the digital revolution, Barnes & Noble has one of the indus-

tryÕ s leading E-commerce sites in BN.com, as well as world-class fulfillment centers. In fact, Barnes & Noble can offer something onlineonly competitors cannot -- a unique in-store experience that allows our customers to interact with knowledgeable booksellers who provide exceptional customer service.

We also have one of the best e-readers on the market Ð the NOOK. Given the competitive landscape, we are extremely proud of all we have accomplished with the NOOK business. In fact, while we may not be a consumer electronics retailer, we have sold more than 10 million NOOK devices because we offer a great reading experience, unmatched content, and we have an army of booksellers supporting them.

Behind these offerings are our strong partnerships with industry leaders like Microsoft and Pearson. They say you can judge someone by the company they keep Ð and we keep some pretty good company.

Moreover, we have strong

relationships with our publishing partners and our prices are competitive with any other outlet selling books. Plus our stores offer a broad range and deep selection of books, including not only bestsellers but also the backlist. The upshot: Publishers want to work with Barnes & Noble because we understand and support the business.

HereÕ s the kicker that no Henny Penny wants to hear.

People are actually coming back to bookstores more often than they have in years.

Improving bookstores sales trends during fiscal 2014

indicate that customers are reigniting their love affair with physical books. This trend supports industry reports that suggest eBook growth has moderated and was essentially flat in 2013.

As this trend continues, we believe we are well positioned to delight our customers on whatever platform they choose to connect with us -- in our stores and online, and digitally on our NOOK platform. And we back it up with more than 40,000 knowledgeable booksellers across the country ready to recommend every customer Õ s next great read.

We have openly acknowledged the challenges within our business and the industry and are adapting to the changing business. But, the next time Henny Pennys suggest that the sky is falling on bookstores, donÕ t take their word for it. Step into your local Barnes & Noble store and enjoy the extraordinary experience that delights millions of our customers every day and has made us one of the most beloved brands in the country.

Eagle Editorial

Secede at your own peril

B

ack in 2008, the Middlebury Institute and Zogby pollsters asked Americans if they believed states have the right to peacefully secede from the Union was an eyeopener for me. A 2012 poll, again by Middlebury-Zogby, showed that more conservatives, women and Hispanics now favored their own brand of seccession.

After the heartache of the USA-CSA Civil War of the 1860s, itÕ s stunning to believe some Americans still entertain the notion that breaking up the Union is either romantic or a good idea (or that it can happen without bloodshed).

A few weeks ago, a Fox News report had a similar tinge to it: some Americans were pretty fired up about things out West; they were willing to get a divorce from Washington.

In the years leading up to our Civil War, the South argued that the Constitution didnÕ t forbid secessionÑ of course the earlier (abandoned) Articles of Confederation were more sympathetic to state secession. Some historians claim the American Revolution was a secession, rather than a revolution.

I admit being attracted to the Ò confederationÓ idea where statesÕ power over a central government rules the roost. I think we were founded along those lines, but things changed as they always doÑ and usually not for the best.

We seem to have strayed far from our founding concepts. Thomas Jefferson said we needed a good revolution every now and then to shake things up. Maybe he was right, but maybe Jefferson was at heart a dangerous radical. With todayÕ s attempts to internationalize, World Courtize, or United Nationize the U.S., I fear we will ultimately throw the baby out with the bathwater.

State secession has always been a political pretzel. Slavery was a moral and political issue during the 19th century question of secession, but there was a lot more at stake behind Southern secession. And while the South was poised to split the Union peacefully, the North, more or less, forced the situation. Gunshots at Fort Sumter resulted in a bloody war which the North egged on.

We can thank the South for getting our Southwestern border states into the Union, even as New England opposed the idea of expanding the Union.

New Englanders have always patted themselves on the back for being on the Ò right sideÓ of a national cause. Sometimes they areÑ as in the case of emancipationÑ other times not.

For example, New Englanders didnÕ t like the War of 1812 because they were cozy traders with England and CanadaÑ witness the Hartford Convention of 1814. At that time, many in New England wanted to secede from the Union. And it was a close call, less than a half century before Fort Sumter. If Hartford had succeeded, New England would have become a republic.

I wonder about those Vermonters who still want to secede and create a Ò Second Vermont Republic.Ó I just donÕ t see the logic of it; weÕ d be little better off than a banana republicÑ or call it a maple-syrup republic. Even the first Vermont Republic wasnÕ t a resounding success by most historical accounts.

In the final analysis, inland republics (and states, for that matter) are always geographically challenged; so if you decide to secede, you better have one city you can call your home port. VermontÕ s geography of mountains and poor soils have always worked against its hisorical day dreams.

Patrick Henry is a good guide on the topic of secession: Ò The fate of America may depend on this (document, the Constitution). Have... (the framers) made a proposal of a compact between the states? If they had, this would be a confederation. It is otherwise most clearly a consolidated government. The question turns, sir, on that poor little thingÑ the expression, Ô We, the people,Õ instead of Ô the states of America.Õ Ó Lou Varricchio

Memorial Day Weekend includes Civil War cemetery tour CASTLETON Ñ About 250 men from Castleton served in the Civil War, 249 of whom were Union soldiers, and one Confederate. The soldiers included several African Americans.

Local author, historian, and member of the Castleton Historical Society Don Thompson will conduct a tour of 12 Civil War veteransÕ gravesites and tell a little about each soldier.

The observance will be held Sunday, May 25, at 2 p.m., at Hillside Cemetery in Castleton. The tourÕ s rain date is Monday, May 26, at 2 p.m.

Through research Thompson did using local resources such as the Castleton History SocietyÕ s archives as well as online sites, participants will learn about such local heroes as Salmon P. Gates, who fought at Gettysburg and succumbed to his wounds. His little bloodstained Bible, now property of the Castleton Historical Society, is the center of an interesting story. It was in the possession of another wounded soldier, but a clergyman convinced him it should be returned to GatesÕ widow in Castleton.

Reknowned artist James Hope is not buried at Hillside, but his famous paintings, done from firsthand sketches, memorialized the First Battle of Bull Run/Manassas and the Battle of Antietam. Hope’s five large paintings of Antietam are now displayed at the Antietam National Battlefield site in Maryland.

Four of CastletonÕ s Civil War veterans buried at Hillside were African Americans. William

Middlebury voters approve official town plan—again Second vote on town offices, recreation facilities project

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

MIDDLEBURY Ñ With the oppositionÕ s revote effort to change course on plans for a new town hall and recreation center, a majority of Middlebury voters decided to stick with the original $6,500,000 plan, which is possibly subject to a slight reduction from alternate sources of funding.

The voting was 880 Ô yesÕ and 714 Ô noÕ . ”Since a majority of voters voted in the affirmative, the bond vote passed,” the Office of Town Clerk Ann Webster reported.

A new town office building will be built on the site of the circa-19th century Osborne House downtown, and public recreation and athletic facilities will be constructed on Creek Road.

Concerns voiced by some downtown merchants and residents regarding the lack of adequate parking spaces, as shown in the proposed town hall plan, have yet to be answered clearly by town officials and the project’s architect.

Several residents have also expressed concerns about the projected increase in traffic at the intersection of Creek Road and Court Street (U.S. Route 7), as well as an expected increase in curbside parkingÑ for those attending MUMS, MUHS, and now public sporting activitiesÑ in front of private residences along Creek Road.

The town’s portion of the construction cost, with some financial help from Middlebury College, is estimated at $2 million.

Viewpoint

Continued from page 1 When a vet returns to civilian life, the rigors of military life do not disappear.

During the Vietnam War years, one of the problems encountered at the Veterans Administration was that officials didn’t want to deal with vets who were Ô wholeÕ Ñ that is, no missing parts.

PTSDÑ Post Traumatic Stress DisorderÑ at that time, was not recognized as a condition of combat. Ò Get a grip troop, get on with your life.Ó There always Jim, Johnny or Earl around to help smooth out the nightÕ s bad times. Then, there was Beam, Walker or Smooth White. Drinking killed the sleep problems, raised hell with the work time, too. Not all vets drank; drugs played a big role, too. Others became homeless because they couldnÕ t hold down a job. One of the symptoms of PTSD is an inability to keep a job. A restlessness of working in one place, without some adrenal rush, and the vet quits. I know—that’s me.

With the Gulf War, this nation began to be proud of the troops when military men came home from the Middle East. Gulf War combat deployment was short; the occupation was followed by a fairly normal rotation. The troops were welcomed home with parades—then were forgotten. On the required holidays, some were suited up, marched in the parade du jour, and feted for the occasion.

Then the Iraq War began and the tours became multiple ones.

National Guard units were called up and sent overseasÑ not once, but twice, or even three times.

Coming back, jobs were gone, lives changed, families disrupted, and most of all the vet was changed by combat.

For those dealing with the stress of the returning vet, that was hard enough. But add the stress of a combat vet who gets a trigger for PTSD and that is more than a family can handle. They need counseling to deal with all the resultant horrific flashbacks.

Personally, I still go through periods of struggling with deep depression, suicidal thoughts, and periods where I cannot get out of bed during the day. Then you feel worse for being a slacker and not accomplishing anything. The suicide door opens a bit wider.

At nightÑ when the clock displays 0100Ñ I am wide awake, Ô checking the wireÕ , then dozing and waking until 0600. All this to go through another day of wondering why I should go through another day. To this day, I cannot sleep through the night. The house cat padding into my room will wake me up.

What goes through a vetÕ s mind when he sees the United States of America today?

Imagine going to a combat zone, watching your comrades die, or lose limbs. For those never having gone through that (you can count your blessings), it isn’t like a fictional Rambo or John Wayne World War II war movie. No one is in a field hospital quietly gritting their teeth in stoic heroism. The same holds true on the field. You never forget that smell, the cries of some 20 yearold dying or worse not dying and laying there in agony. The faces come back at night, not every night, but when something triggers a memory: Your own personal Groundhog Day. Now bring all those stark images back to see what the USA is becoming, keeping in mind that you signed up to serve the Constitution. You now see the current White House administration is busy shredding that precious document. Now try to reconcile that in your mind with what you did in the war and what America is becomingÑ you canÕ t.

Finally, you have to remember that IÑ and my fellow broth-

While I recognize that the president is the C-I-C, Commander in Chief, let me be perfectly clear: it is the Constitution that acts as sacred guide for American military personnel.

Rutland area stores join latest ‘Sticker Shock’ campaign

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com WEST RUTLAND Ñ Volunteer members of the Rutland Area Prevention Coalition are coordinating the 2014 Sticker Shock campaign which encourages area youth and their families to celebrate upcoming school prom- and graduation-related events safely and without alcohol.

Last week, the Coalition partnered with Sgt. J.J. Bixby of the Rutland County SheriffÕ s Department, West Rutland School youth, and two area Retailers to promote the Sticker Shock campaign.

The group also partnered with Brandon Special Police Officer Anne Bandy, Otter Valley

Union High School students, and two Brandon area retailers, to promote awareness that providing alcoholic beverages to minors is a criminal offense punishable by fines and possibly jail time.

Bright orange stickers with information were placed on alcohol-related products in participating local stores in an effort to deter youth and adults from engaging in rowdy activity.

According to Allison Iannetti, the RAP CoalitionÕ s tobacco prevention and youth coordinator, RAP Coalition members thanked the StewartÕ s and Jiffy Mart stores located in West Rutland, as well as the Champlain Farms store and Vermont Liquor Outlet located in Brandon for being part of the event.

Jacob Bertrand, Dustin Manning, Brandon Special Police Officer Anne Bandy, and Brandon Liquor Outlet manager Terri Weeden.

Brandon Special Police Officer Anne Bandy joined Jacob Bertrand and Dustin Manning at Champlain Farms in Brandon which is participating in the Sticker Shock school-safety campaign.

West Rutland Jiffy Mart Assistant Store Manager Bruce Davis, joined West Rutland students Jenn Sumner, Joey Callahan, Mikayla Drambrackas, Taylor Raiche, along with Sgt. J.J. Bixby of the Rutland County Sheriff’s Department.

Memorial

Continued from page 1 Ò We will remember hot they looked the last time we saw them. We will also remember the weddings never attended, the houses never built, the children never born, the fields never plowed, books never written, and the songs never song.Ó On Aug. 20, 2005 a new, expanded memorial was reopenedÑ rededicated to tall the men and women from Vermont who served in the war and gave their lives in defense of democracy in the former South Vietnam.

As of 2013, a record four million individuals have visited the monument and spent time in reflection.

This beautiful monument honors the dead in both native Green Mountain stone and living green plants.

Scrims with superb photos of Vermont soldiers, taken by award-winning Vermont photographer Jack Rowell, hang in the memorial space indoors and rotate on a video wallscreen.

Outdoors, the memorial amphitheater is

open year round; it is a special place for quiet meditation and reflection.

Also outside, a perpetual flame flickers at the memorial. An adjoining glass-and-steel greenhouseÑ housing native, tropical plants of Vietnam and heated by solar and geothermal heatÑ gives visitors a spectacular 360-degree view of the surrounding Green Mountains and Connecticut River Valley. In such a place, it is easy to remember youth, better days and promises unfulfilled.

This Memorial Day, veterans and their families will gather at the Vermont Vietnam Veterans Memorial to remember their comrades and a time, while long ago now, is never too far away.

Vergennes residents rank community priorities Next meeting May 21

By Margaret McCoy VERGENNES Ñ On April 16, over 100 Vergennes residents gathered in a community meeting to consider the ideas that were discussed through the Vergennes Community Visit process and to set priorities for action.

At the Community Meeting participants reviewed all the issues that the Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD) Visiting Team had heard in focus forums on the Community Visit Day held on March 18 and the school forums on March 4.

At the April 16 meeting, community members discussed what was most important and most needed and voted on the priorities that they thought the community should line up to accomplish.

A number of participants signed up to serve on Task Forces to move these issues forward over the course of the next year.

The top three priorities that residents chose to focus on and build task forces around are: •Improve transportation and parking

•Advance the Vergennes economy and expand the community-economic development capacity of the city •Redevelop the Vergennes Falls Basin and open a riverwalk The next step in the process is the Ò Resource MeetingÓ set for May 21, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Bixby Memorial Library. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend the meeting.

The Vermont Council of Rural Development will bring a new team of facilitators to help each Task Force build a concrete list of action steps and identify the resources available to support their efforts.

Paul Costello, director of VCRD, produced the event. Ò ItÕ s exciting to see the energy and skills of community members lining up together to confront the challenges that the community identified as its most important priorities,Ó according to Costello.

Vergennes Mayor Bill Benton serves as the overall Chairperson for the entire process.

After the meeting on April 16th he reflected that Ò the public response to the project prioritization meeting was thrilling. We had 100 citizens sharing positive discussions on topics that are sure to increase the livability of the City of Vergennes. The community can

now focus on specific work plans and resources to bring these ideas to fruition.Ó Benton said he will coordinate with Task Force members over the course of the next year to help groups work together effectively.

Later this month, some of VermontÕ s top experts in those areas will visit the city and work with citizens to set up action plans to make all these goals possible.

The meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, May 21, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Bixby Memorial Library, is the next step in the Vermont Council on Rural DevelopmentÕ s (VCRD) Community Visit to Vergennes that began with public forums in March. At the second meeting on April 18, over 100 residents whittled down a number of opportunities for the community into three task force action areas: •Improve transportation and parking •Advance the Vergennes economy and expand the community/economic development capacity of the city •Redevelop the Vergennes Falls Basin and open Riverwalk The May 21 Ò Resource MeetingÓ represents the third phase in the program, when action area workplans are developed.

Colossal fossil, ‘Sue the T Rex’ makes Vermont its home

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com

A team of technicians from the Montshire Museum of Science and Chicago’s Field Museum assemble “Sue” the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton at the Vermont museum May 13. The museum was closed for several days last week while the fossil exhibit was erected.

NORWICH Ñ All summer long, the worldÕ s largest Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever discovered will be on display the Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich as part of a special exhibit called, Ò A T. rex Named Sue.Ó The exhibit features a cast of the most complete T. rex ever discovered. Ò At 42-feet long, 3,500 pounds, and 12-feet tall at the hips, this fully articulated cast skeleton is the keystone piece of this traveling exhibition which also includes replicated dinosaur fossils, video footage, free-standing interactive exhibits and colorful graphics,Ó said Beth Krusi, MontshireÕ s director of marketing & communication.

The beast died at the age of 28, according to fossil bone studies.

The current Vermont exhibit was created by the Field Museum of Chicago and made possible through McDonalds.

According to Krusi, the Field Museum didnÕ t want to see Ô SueÕ fall into private hands; the fossil was just too important to be a collectorÕ s fetish. So, at the fossil’s celebrity filled auction in 1997, Field officials stepped in and purchased the 67-million-year-old fossil at for $8.4 million. Ò This set the world record for the highest price ever paid for a fossil,Ó Krusi noted. Ò Ô SueÕ is at least 90 percent completeÑ only a foot, one arm, and a few ribs and vertebrae are missing,Ó says Krusi. Ò Because of its near completeness, the specimen has presented the scientific community with a variety of new evidence, and with it Field Museum scientists made important new discoveries about the biology and evolution of Tyrannosaurus rex.Ó “The discovery of ‘Sue’ ranks as one of the most important fossil finds ever, with tremendous educational value for scientists and the general public,Ó according to Krusi. Ò Tyrannosaurus rex is the most widely recognized dinosaur in the world. Although it was first named almost a century ago, much remains to be understood about this remarkable animal. Carnivorous dinosaurs recently described from the Southern Hemisphere are of similar, or perhaps slightly larger size, but T. rex remains one of the largest flesh-eaters to have ever inhabited the Earth. With its extraordinarily powerful jaws and massive serrated steak-knife teeth, T. rex still dominates popular perceptions of the Age of Dinosaurs.Ó While T. rex is best known as being a savage, meat eater, thereÕ s an ongoing debate among fossil researchers regarding whether or not this giant was a predator or a scavenger, like the modern African hyena.

Another bigger mystery surrounding T. rex is whether or not it looked like a reptile, with lizard skin, or was it more birdlikeÑ that is, covered with colorful feathers over the lizard skin. Ò We now have numerous specimens of a whole variety of species of feathered dinosaurs, with some species known from hundreds of specimens preserving feathers,Ó says Dr. Dave Hone, a lecturer at Queen Mary, University of London, specializing in dinosaurs and pterosaurs. Ò Moreover we can trace the evolutionary patterns of feather evolution and thereÕ s a relatively simple transition from relatively basic filaments in basal species, to larger and more complex feathers in later forms... (but) was Tyrannosaurus covered in feathers? IÕ ll disappoint people in advance and say that we donÕ t know for sure.Ó Admission to Ò A T. rex Named SueÓ is free with museum admission. $16 for adults, $14 for children 2-17, and free for Montshire Museum members and children under 2 years of age.

The Montshire Museum of Science is located in Norwich on Intertstae 91, north of the intersections of Interstates 89 and 91, and open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
