Bridge celebration draws crowd By Keith Lobdell
keith@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Both sides of the Lake Champlain Bridge were lined as classic cars, bands and floats officially welcomed back the crossing between two states, more than six months after the bridge opened to the public on Nov. 7, 2011. The Lake Champlain Bridge Celebration was held over the May 19-20 weekend with two days of car shows, parades, food, tents and fireworks. It attracted a crowd of more than 1,000 people, far less than the 10,000 Celebration organizers had anticipated, but a sizeable crowd nonetheless. Festivities opened May 19 with a ceremony where dignitaries from both sides of Lake Champlain again expressed their joy over the new structure. “This is a standing monument to a can-do culture,” Crown Point Supervisor Charles Harrington said. “Having gone without a bridge, we have a new appreciation and respect for those leaders who were able to re-define the term, ‘fast track.’” “We are hopeful that this will become a destination place for people to come and explore our history,” Jeffrey Kauffman of the Addison County Select Board said.

Central Vermont Public Service plans rate increase July 1 CVPS’s facilities in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene last year and a three-month bill credit that will be in effect starting in July to reflect the fact that power supply costs were slightly lower than expected in the first quarter of 2012. The Public Service Board must approve the changes. If approved, the 2.2 percent surcharge will go into effect starting July 1, 2012 and will last for one year. At the same time, the savings that will be credited to customer will also show up on the electric bill.
From Staff & News Reports
newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — A bill credit and a temporary rate increase was called by Central Vermont Public Service for customers on July 1. For a typical residential customer using 500 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month, bills will increase by $1.20, or 1.4 percent, on July 1. The increase is the net effect of a 2.2 percent surcharge to recover about $7.5 million of extraordinary costs of repairing and rebuilding

Welch honors VUHS student By Louis Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com VERGENNES — It was the thrill of a lifetime when Katelyn Mullis, a student at Vergennes Union High School, was greeted by U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D) of Vermont to receive an award for a work of art she entered into a the 31st Annual Congressional Art Competition for high school students at the Gallery at Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier May 14. Mullis' piece, titled “Hot Pepper Study”, received accolades from the judges and Welch. Other representatives also acknowledged Mullis' piece. “I am so impressed by the talent and creativity of these young Vermont artists,” Welch said. “Their work continues Vermont’s storied tradition of artistic excellence and is a reflection of our state’s first-rate art programs.” Over 158 Vermont high school students from 34 schools competed to have their art recognized. The history of the nationwide contest dates to 1981. According to Welch, the winning artwork from each congressional district in the U.S. is displayed in the U.S. Capitol building for a year; it is then replaced by the work of each new winner.

Middlebury an emerging opera center From Staff & News Reports
MIDDLEBURY – The Opera Company of Middlebury, now in its ninth season, has become a performance venue for talented young opera singers seeking superb productions and a lovely area in which to spend some time. Now there’s another attraction. “When these singers come to Middlebury they immediately feel as if they’re part of the community,� said company director Douglas Anderson. “They love it here because they make a lot of friends in the area, which is unusual, and one reason for that is Meet the Singers.� The annual Meet the Singers event will take place on Sunday, May 27, at the historic Middlebury Inn. The event begins at 5 p.m. Fourteen professional singers will come to Middlebury this year to perform in Massenet’s Tha s, which will be performed
at Town Hall Theater from June 8-16. Several are returning from past seasons. “It’s like family here,� said Anderson. “For many of these singers it’s like coming home.� The first hour of Meet the Singers is a reception honoring the visiting singers. Over drinks and hors d’oeuvres, local people meet the singers and chat about everything from their hometowns to their favorite operas. In the second hour, each singer performs a favorite aria. The event becomes an extraordinary concert, an absolute must for opera lovers. Meet the Singers will take place on Sunday, May 27, at the Middlebury Inn. The event begins at 5 p.m. Tickets are $25, and can be purchased at www.townhalltheater.org, 382-9222, at the THT Box Office (Monday-Saturday, noon-5 p.m.) and at the door, if available.

LEICESTER — Vermont State Police troopers were notified of a missing 5-yearold-boy who had been on a Leicester hiking trip with his mother and six or seven friends and other family members May 11. The juvenile was separated from the rest of the hiking party at the top of the Silver Lake trail near the lake and dam area. At the time of the call to the VSP, the juvenile had been missing for approximately one hour and none of the hiking party could locate him. Vermont State Police Troopers responded
as well as members from The Salisbury Fire Department, Middlebury Fire Department/Technical Rescue Team, Brandon Rescue Squad, Middlebury Rescue Squad, U.S. Forest Service, and Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. K9 teams were also called in from Vergennes Police as well as Shelburne Police. First responders set up a command post at the Silver Lake and Falls of Lana parking access off of Route 53 in Leicester. The juvenile was subsequently located approximately with an hour. The boy was tired but did not require medical attention.

Opinion From the Editor
A bridge worth celebrating
W
hile the 2012 Lake Champlain Bridge parade and festivities did not attract as many attendees as the 1929 bridge opening events, it will be remembered as a day of sunshine, fun, celebration, and genuine community. The big parade of May 19, which began on the Vermont side and ended on the New York side of the new span, included floats and marchers representing schools, community and civic groups, businesses, law enforcement, fire and rescue, and antique cars carrying members of the ‘29ers Club, residents, and many others. Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) told a WVTK 92.1 radio crew, during a live broadcast at the Bridge Restaurant that the weekend, that, in a sense, May 19-20 was a more memorable moment than the day the bridge opened, primarily because it gave us the perspective of half-a-year. We couldn’t agree more. While taking photographs of the parade for this newspaper, the editor was struck by how friendly all the participants and attendees were; it was an event that fostered a genuine spirit of community. It was nice to see New Yorkers and Vermonters share a sense of pride and relief that the bridge, which officially opened in November, is here to stay at last. I spoke with members of the Kayhart Brothers Farm of Addison which, like so many businesses in Addison County and across the lake, were affected by the 752-day-long bridge construction project. Alexa Kayhart, who managed a temporary petting zoo for the kiddies near the historic Chimney Point tavern site May 19-20, said her family owns land in Crown Point, N.Y.; it relied on the bridge for years to transport cattle across the lake for grazing purposes. Until the temporary lake ferry was set up, the Kayhart family had to truck their cattle from Addison to Crown Point via Castleton and Whitehall. A trip of more than 100 miles. Alexa seemed thrilled to show off some of her family’s herd and bask in the glow of a beautiful May day. We’re sure she doesn’t miss the detour. If you stayed through Sunday’s fireworks spectacular, which was the climax to a weekend of events around the bridge, you became part of an unfolding chapter of local history. We especially congratulate the organizers of last weekend’s big event for their tenacity and focus on the mission. Despite some frayed nerves and bruised egos over this long and difficult enterprise, we believe time will heal all. We should view the rocky process of bringing various factions together as very much worth the effort. And please, let’s learn our lessons so that when the next big community endeavor comes, it will be even better. Let our better selves rise to the occasion. Our region, our economy, are too important for petty rivalries. So, let’s be proud of our two states and the lifeline of steel that links our shores. Congratulations to you. Congratulations to us.

Frankly speaking ... U
se the word frank when describing frankincense, or frankfurters. Use it addressing someone named Frank regardless if it’s a first, as in Frank Sinatra and Frank Lloyd Wright, or a last, as in Barney or Anne Frank. Use it to effect a German accent. You might jabber “Frankun haabinzee mitt,” and you’d sound quite German-ish. Go ahead and use Frank there. And when you can’t come up with anything fresh to say at a point when you want to exit a conversation with a tone of apathy, do the predictable and effect Clarke Gable’s accent by quoting the “Frankly my dear …” thing. Do not use frank the following ways. “To be perfectly frank” “Frankly speaking” “Quite frankly.” Using those qualifiers is admitting anything you said previously might not have been true. You’re saying “up till now I’ve been bull _ _ itten ya.” If you’re going along spouting this and that and everything else, and all of the sudden you say “and quite frankly, without that it will not work,” another thing you’re doing is being prideful, and pride as you know is a sin, perhaps the worse sin of all. Letting us know you’re going to be frank says you’re assuming you’re going to let us in on something that’s truly im-
portant, something we don’t already know or would never with out your help come to know. You’re saying you’re going to shave off some of your considerable knowledge and drop it down to us and we should thank you later, proud of being smarter than I am guy that you are. Pride isn’t so much about being joyful looking up, as it is about being happy to look down. Complicated? Pervasive? Yes, pride is. I know, I’ve been full of it, and I’m regularly working to get rid of it. “To be perfectly frank,” or “Frankly speaking,” or “Quite frankly.” Are three statements should be useless. Unless you start comments “Hardly frankly,” “To be imperfectly frank,” or “Not frankly speaking,” I’ll assume you’re always being frank. Thanks.

The U.S. Postal Service mail-sorting center at White River Junction, Vt. will remain open, Sens. Bernie Sanders (IVt.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) announced May 17. The Postal Service decision to continue operating the White River Junction plant once targeted for closure is part of a new national plan by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. The latest plan was developed after sweeping service cuts he proposed ran into widespread opposition from postal customers, businesses and members of Congress. “This is great news for the 245 employees at the White River Junction plant and every Vermonter who relies on the Postal Service to deliver their mail on time, especially small businesses and the elderly. It shows that when unions, customers and small businesses speak out their voices can be heard and their opinions matter. This process has been a lesson in democracy at its best,” said Sanders. The Senate on April 25 overwhelmingly passed comprehensive postal reform legislation, which Sanders helped write, that would protect dozens of processing centers, including the one in White River Junction. “I hope the House acts as quickly as possible,” Sanders said.
"This is great news for the hardworking employees at White River Junction and all Vermonters. The Postal Service has a vital mission to serve all Americans regardless of where they live. The announcement reaffirms that mission, ensuring Vermonters will continue to receive reliable, timely service,” Welch said. The Postal Service had announced last year that it was considering closing more than 250 mail-processing centers and as many as 15,000 post offices, many of them in rural areas, as part of an overall plan to save about $20 billion a year. The only two mail processing plants in Vermont, located in White River Junction and Essex Junction were targeted for closure. In February, the Postal Service announced that it would keep the Essex Junction plant open, but moved ahead with plans to close White River Junction. The plan announced today keeps both mail sorting centers in Vermont open. Just last week the Postal Service backed off the plan to close the 15,000 post offices, saying it would keep them all open but reduce the hours that many of them are open each day. The announcement will detail the plan to keep operating about 100 of the sorting centers that were slated for closure in order to maintain timely firstclass mail service. The plan calls for an-
other review in 2014. Congress continues to work on legislation that would maintain mail delivery standards, keep postal facilities open and create a new business model for the Postal Service. The Senate-passed bill addresses the major reason for the Postal Service’s financial troubles – a $5.5 billion annual mandate to pre-fund 75 years of future retiree health benefits in just 10 years. This onerous requirement, unparalleled by any entity in the private sector or government, is responsible for more than 80 percent of the Postal Service’s debt. Without that obligation, the Postal Service would have posted a profit of $700 million from 2007-2010, and a $200 million profit in the first quarter of this fiscal year. The Senate-passed bill also addresses the reality that the Postal Service overpaid $11 billion into the Federal Employees Retirement System. The measure now awaiting action by the House also includes a Sanders provision to let the Postal Service become more entrepreneurial. He wants the Postal Service to explore new opportunities to increase business, such as expanding digital services, selling hunting and fishing licenses, making copies, notarizing documents, and cashing checks.

Make your family camping trip a success F
amily vacations are a tradition for millions of families across the globe. Such vacations have declined in number over the last several years, when many families were forced to cut expenses in the midst of a struggling economy. Though the economy has gradually begun to rebound, families with fresh memories are still reticent to commit to costly vacations. One of the more affordable and family-friendly vacation options is camping. Families get the chance to experience some of nature's most idyllic settings at a fraction of the cost of expensive resort vacations. But before venturing out in the great outdoors, a family should consider the following tips to ensure their camping vacation is a swimming success. * Research the weather. Before choosing a campsite, get a firm grasp of what to expect from Mother Nature while you're there. Research weather patterns and how much the weather can vary during the time of year when you will be vacationing. Does the weather fluctuate significantly during the daytime and nighttime hours? Is rain likely or unlikely? Weather conditions will dictate which gear is necessary for the trip, and families might want to avoid campgrounds that are frequented by rain. Adults might be able to cope with a rainstorm or two, but such conditions may make everyone miserable. * Find an activity-friendly campground. When looking for a campground, look for one that boasts a lot of activities. Adults might enjoy the simple relaxation of camping, but kids will likely need more to do. Look for a campground that can offer activities the children will like, such as hiking, kayaking, rafting, or even mountain biking. * Determine who you are as campers. Not all campers enjoy the rustic life of camping. Some need to combine camping with the amenities of modern life, including running water and toilets that flush. Campers should be honest with themselves in regards to their needs in amenities when researching campgrounds. If you and your family will need a show-
er, consider renting an RV for the trip or choose a campground with accessible showers and restrooms. Veteran campers might scoff at such amenities, but families would likely prefer some combination of roughing it in the wild and modern day living. * Get the right gear. Entry to many campgrounds is free or nearly free. However, camping gear could cost money. The good thing about camping gear is it's reusable. If this year's camping trip is a success, then next year's trip won't cost nearly as much. Visit a local camping store and explain your situation, including what you hope to get out of the camping trip and where you'll be heading. An associate should be able to help you find the right gear for your trip, including a tent, lights, a water filter, cooking materials, and inflatable mattresses. The materials needed for a successful camping trip are many, but again these materials are reusable and can last a lifetime if families choose the right gear. * Stock up on the essentials. Once you have purchased the right gear, don't forget to stock up on the other essentials. Particularly during the warmer months, campgrounds can be very hot and insects abound. Be sure to bring adequate amounts of sunscreen and bug spray and apply each liberally every day. Even if the sky is overcast, apply sunscreen to avoid painful sunburn. Other essentials include toilet paper (bring more than you expect to use), bottled water, plates and utensils, and garbage bags. Be sure to bring extra garbage bags to avoid littering in the campground. * Don't forget to have fun. Families should emphasize having fun when visiting the campground. Because camping is not a resort-style vacation, it's up to Mom and Dad to entertain the kids. Bring along a guitar for a campfire sing-a-long, and pack a few board games the family can enjoy under the stars at night. If a nearby park is known for being especially familyfriendly, consider it as a campsite. Kids might meet fellow campers their own age and make some new friends.
A family-friendly campground with plenty of activities for kids to have fun and make new friends often makes the ideal location for a family camping trip.

Practice safety and common sense while hiking A
warm breeze, the sound of a bubbling brook and the fresh smell of pine in the air are just some of the draws of hiking. There's nothing quite like getting outdoors and enjoying nature. Although hiking isn't inherently dangerous, being at the mercy of the elements does imply some risk. As a result, it pays to be prepared when embarking on a hiking trip. Even novice hikers know to avoid bug bites and apply sunscreen before heading outdoors, but there are also some lesser-known potential hazards on the hiking trail. Heeding these tips can keep a person safe. * Plan ahead. Understand the terrain and the trails before you begin the hike. Visit the park or area's official Web site to access detailed, printable trail maps and other information about the area. Make note of ranger stations, portable bathrooms and any other places you may want to use as pit stops along the way. Give a copy of the trail map to someone staying behind, marking your planned place of entry. In the event you get lost, the person at home can alert authorities to your approximate location. * Know your environment. Hiking trails can be found all around the world. Some may be arid and barren areas, while other areas may be lush and tropical. Each of these regions brings with them their own share of plants and animals. It is wise to know which species you may encounter along the way so you will know how to treat a bite or a brush with a poisonous plant in the event of an emergency. * Be mindful of the weather. Before going on the hike, get the latest weather report from a few different sources. This way you will have an average picture in your head of what the weather will be, and you can choose your footwear, clothing and other essentials based on that forecast. Few things can spoil a trip faster than unpredictable weather and failure to be ready for it. * Pack a supply kit. It's easy to go overboard on gear, but there are some basics that should be hiking essentials. Include a first aid kit, a Swiss Army Knife, matches or a lighter, aspirin, a flashlight, and toilet paper in your supply kit. * Bring water. Water is essential when going on a hiking trip. By the time you are feeling thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Bring at least 1 to 2 liters of water per person. Keep in mind that this may mean adding 3 to 4 pounds to the pack. When necessary, trade excess weight in other supplies for water, since water is most essential. Drinking from springs or lakes is not adviseable. Animals bathe and
relieve themselves in that water, and it might be teeming with bacteria. * Pack snacks. Bring along lightweight snacks, such as granola bars, dried fruit and nuts. Avoid sugary or starchy snacks that your body will burn up in no time, leaving you feeling hungry again. Keep food in tightly fitted containers so aromas won't lure curious animals in close. * Embark early. The temperature is lower in the morning, and the sun is less intense in early morning as well. In addition, starting early reduces the chance you will be hiking in the dark. * Be aware of your surroundings. Although most animals will be content to avoid a hiking party, if they are provoked or caught off guard, they may defend them-

selves. Watch where you are walking and avoid going off the trail. If scaling rocks, be careful where you put your hands. There may be snakes or small rodents lurking in crevices. * Carry a field guide. Refer to a field guide to help identify plants, trees and animals you may have seen. * Take plenty of photographs. Most hikers want to document the sights around them. Capture the moments with photos and be sure to make prints later. * Carry out only what you carried in. Litter can ruin a natural landscape and put animals in danger. Always bring a trash bag and remove your spent items. Also, leave nature as you found it. Resist the urge to take flowers or saplings or any other samples of the environment.

Tips for newcomers to golf F
ew hobbies can be as enjoyable one moment and as frustrating the next as golf. Golfers know a great putt can be quickly followed by a bad tee shot, and maintaining their composure through the highs and lows of the game is a key to success on the links. Maintaining that composure isn't always easy, even for the professionals. It's even more difficult for beginners, who quickly learn the game of golf involves more than just spending sunny weekend afternoons on pristine golf courses. In fact, golf can be quite demanding, and beginners would be wise to heed a few tips before hitting the course. * Don't commit to an expensive set of clubs right off the bat. Golf clubs can be very expensive, so beginners should buy an affordable secondhand set of clubs so they can get the hang of what they like before spending a lot of money. Visit a pro shop and explain that you are just a beginner. The
shop will likely make some valuable suggestions and might even let you try out a pair of clubs. In addition, many driving ranges allow customers to rent clubs, and this can be a great and inexpensive way to find the right clubs for you. * Take lessons. Even the very best at selfteaching might find it extremely difficult to become a self-taught golfer. When first trying your hand at golf, take some lessons and don't expect to be playing 18 holes any time soon. Before hitting the course, where you might be discouraged and you might frustrate those golfing behind you, learn the fundamentals by taking a few lessons at the driving range. Learn from a professional, who won't offer you any hidden secrets to golfing glory (there aren't any) but will offer sound advice on the game's fundamentals. * Take the game home with you. Beginners can even take advantage of golf's vast popularity by taking the game home with them. This doesn't mean building a putting
green in your backyard. Rather, purchase some instructional DVDs to learn the game during your down time throughout the week. Many golfers don't have time to hit the links during the week, but they do have time to watch some DVDs when they get home from work. Such instructional DVDs can help you master your grip and stance, which you can then take with you to the course over the weekend. * Have fun. Golf is a fun game; it just takes time to hone your skills. But even if you aren't ready for the professional tour after your first few rounds, you can still have fun. Don't let some beginner's frustration, which every golfer experiences, ruin the fun of the game. Take note of your surroundings when you hit the links, and appreciate the time you're spending with your group. If the game becomes more a source of frustration than fun, then take a break and put in some more work away from the course, be it at the driving range or studying at home.
Enjoy environmentally friendly recreation C
hances are unless "green" is your mantra, you may have not given much thought to sports and recreational activities that are environmentally friendly in nature. There are ways to enjoy some downtime and protect the planet simultaneously. * Camping: Camping is a good activity for enjoying the outdoors, but many people do not take the outdoors into consideration when camping. Overcrowding, especially during the summer and fall seasons, can lead to infringement on wildlife and off-limits areas. Rather, choose an off time to go camping and be especially conscious of how you treat the surrounding foliage and wildlife. Remember to carry out what you've carried in so you don't litter. Be conscious of campfires you have started so they can be properly extinguished. And importantly, don't feed wild animals. They can become dependant on food from humans, and fail to forage properly on their own.
* Beachside excursions: A trip to the water's edge is a relaxing and rejuvenating recreational activity. However, the world's oceans are continually under attack from trash, microscopic bacteria and other contaminants. While many of these contaminants leach into ocean and lake water via drainage systems or public water supplies, peak vacation season at the seaside can also contribute. If you are visiting the beach, be mindful of your litter, including cigarette butts, plastic bottles, foil, baggies, etc. Seeming innocuous items can wreak havoc on marine life, suffocating them or compromising internal organs if ingested. Also think twice about pets sharing the beach. Man's best friend is a good companion, however, his feces, if left on the beach, can promote dangerous bacteria and some parasites, such as hookworm, which multiply in warm, moist conditions and where waste is present. * Boating: If you will be traveling the nation's waterways, consider doing so in a wind-, water- or human-powered ves-
sel. Sailboats, canoes, kayaks, and the like are emission-free ways to navigate the water. If you must use an engine, investigate ones with an eco-friendly generator that put the boat on auto-pilot, helping cut back on fuel consumption/pollution. * Fishing: Reeling in your catch and cooking it for dinner is an environmentally responsible recreational activity. But fishing green can be foiled if you don't learn about the species for which you are angling. Find out the appropriate size, habitat and feeding preferences of your chosen fish. This way you avoid by-catch, reeling in some other marine life by accident. Also, you want to toss back fish that are not of adequate size so that you ensure species can continue to breed. * Swimming: You may want to skip the chemical-laden swimming pool for one of nature's watering holes. Provided the water is clear and safe, you can dive into lakes or rivers. Seek out a hot spring and you can turn your swimming adventure into a therapeutic one.

Whitewater rafting a popular sport O
utdoor enthusiasts are always looking for new ways to experience the majesty and excitement of the great outdoors. Water rafting offers fun, thrills and a chance to enjoy nature for all types of people. There are many who have never run a whitewater river before. But that doesn't mean this isn't the time to try. There are trips available for all skill levels and even those people who do not classify themselves as the adventurous type. Once a person starts rafting, they often find it addictive and want to go again and again. Those thinking about a rafting trip who have never been out on the water before should consider a few things.
* Individuals should find a rafting tour company that has experienced/certified guides who will be responsible for the safety and training of all first-time rafters. * Individuals should check with a doctor to be sure that he or she is in good physical health. Although there are rafting trips that allow passengers to sit back and enjoy the ride, many trips are hands-on experiences, where adventurers must paddle and maneuver the vessel along with the guides. * Let others know of rafting plans. Although rafting is relatively safe, especially when in the presence of experienced guides, there is inherent danger to any physical activity -- especially at high speeds. Keeping family and friends abreast of plans means
they'll be expecting a status call when a rafter reaches safety at the end of the run.
Classes of Rapids Those new to whitewater rafting can choose among different levels of rapids when planning their trips. Many prefer to start off on beginner rapids and work their way up. Others -- with the help of a guide -- simply jump into more advanced rapids. Here are the different classes of rapids. Class 1: Small, rough areas with no skills really needed. Class 2: Some rough water, maybe some rocks and small drops that might require maneuvering.
Class 3: Requires experienced paddling skills as there may be some moderate whitewater and 3- to 5-foot drops. Class 4: Whitewater with large waves, long rapids, rocks, and maybe a considerable drop. Generally whitewater experience is needed. Class 5: Whitewater with large waves, continuous rapids, large
rocks, and hazards. There may be large drops that require precise maneuvering. Class 6: Expert rapids that are even posted as dangers to those with plenty of whitewater experience. Water rafting can be an exciting experience for people who enjoy the great outdoors. Begin researching trips now for the upcoming season.

They, along with their counterparts from Vermont, gave special awards to the co-chairs of the Lake Champlain Bridge Coalition, Karen Hennessey of Crown Point and Lorraine Franklin of West Addison. “Our voices would not have been heard if it were not for everyone who joined with us,” Franklin said. “I cannot thank this community enough.” Also on hand for the ceremonies was bridge designer Ted Zoli, a Schroon Lake native who spent his summers at nearby Camp Dudley. “Bridges are works that take many, many people and are for the use of many, many people,” Zoli said. “This has been the most remarkable project that I have ever been involved with from the standpoint of the amount community participation that was involved. This is the most energized community and region I have ever been involved with by a factor of 10, and it is in no small way that this structure is a result of that involvement.” The Lake Champlain Bridge parade was held at 11 a.m., as those who were at the original 1929 bridge opening were featured, riding in classic automobiles and referred to as the ’29ers. Celebrations continued throughout the day and into Sunday, and were capped by a fireworks show.

“The Center for Art and Education will transform Shelburne Museum from seasonal to year-round operation, broadening the museum’s offerings and boosting its educational mission with space for exhibitions, a classroom and an auditorium. It will ensure the museum remains a vibrant, relevant part of the arts and cultural landscape into the 21st century,” Denenberg said. An architect's rendering of the future art and education center shows exhibit galleries, classroom and ulti-media spaces and a 130seat public auditorium. The cost to build the center will be $7 million. “Shelburne Museum plays a vital role in the state’s vibrant cultural economy, fueling tourism and contributing to the enrichment of Vermonters. This new center, with year-round arts and educational programming will have a huge positive impact on Vermont students and the Vermont economy for years to come,” said Vermont Secretary of Commerce and Community Development Lawrence Miller. Boston-based architect Ann Beha was selected to design the new "green" building. PC Construction of South Burlington was selected as the project mananger. The museum’s collection includes works by impressionist painters Claude Monet, Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas, Denenberg
said. It is also the home of the famous S.S. Ticonderoga, the last surviving Lake Champlain passenger steamship.

Event shows new Vergennes VERGENNES — The Vergennes Partnership wants the public to consider the "new" Vergennes as a place to live, work and play. The community organization hosted a special event, "Back to the Future: Destination Vergennes", a pictorial revue about the rebirth of the Little City, May 24, at the Vergennes Opera House. The show highlighted the accomplishments of the Partnership since its 1999 inception with past and present images of the city, a display, and tables for each Partnership committee. Complimentary appetizers were served along with a cash beer and wine bar. The evening also acknowledged new president Kevin Rooney and new executive director Tara Brooks. The Vergennes Partnership is a non-profit organization charged with implementing the State of Vermont’s Downtown Revitalization Program within the city of Vergennes.
“From the flowers on the bridge to new sidewalks and streetscapes, residents and visitors frequently remark upon the quaint; unique; and unexpected charms and characteristics of Vermont’s oldest city," said William Benton, one of the organization’s founders. “They appreciate the improvements over the past decade but many don’t understand the connection between these improvements and the Vergennes Partnership.” The long-term success of the Vergennes Partnership hinges upon the continued support of local residents and business owners. Kevin Rooney, president of the Vergennes Partnership, said “We need to get the word out there that future opportunities are endless and that there are many ways to become involved.” The recent event also helped launched for the Vergennes WiFi wireless Internet project.

Remember to always wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing. Never ride on paved surfaces or public roads. Never carry passengers unless the ATVis specifically engineered to accomodate them. Riding at excessive speeds or engaging in stunt riding is extremely dangerous. Be extremely careful on difficult or unknown terrain. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Many ATVs are recommended only for highly experienced riders 16 years and older. Please make sure that you are riding an ATV that is age appropriate. Riders younger than 16 years of age should always be supervised by an adult. We recommend that all ATV riders take an approved ATV training course and read their vehicle owner’s manual thoroughly. When riding your ATV always stay on established trails in approved areas.
