Serving Addison and Chittenden Counties Vermont DMV makes identity theft arrest
Midd to host 2013 NCAA Skiing Championships By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — Vermont is known for some of the best alpine skiing east of the Rocky Mountains. That image was reinforced last week with the announcement that Middlebury College will host the 2013 NCAA Skiing Championships. The campus last hosted the national championships in 2001. The college was selected as the host site because the Middlebury Panthers are in the enviable position of being one of two award-winning college ski programs in the U.S. that operates a campus alpine and cross-country skiing facility. The event will bring national sports media attention to Middlebury and Vermont during the winter-spring of 2013. According to a July 1 statement released by the college, head alpine coach Stever Bartlett said, “We’re pretty thrilled to show our coaching colleagues and fellow programs our best efforts at hosting a National Championship. It’s been over 10 years since we've hosted and it's an important role to play on the national stage of skiing”
A July 4 visit to the town green had blonde twin sisters Chloe and Lilly and a friend making pals with tiny Bruni, a five-month-old snub-nosed French bulldog. The dog is owned by Christie and Nate Potter. The three girls enjoyed petting the pooch while learning something new—that a “Frenchie” or “Clown Dog”, while suggesting an origin in France, is in fact a gentle canine developed largely by American and British breeders.

Bridge crews pour deck concrete
Festival to raise funds for shelter
By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury’s new downtown Cross Street Bridge project passed a major milestone July 7. A fleet of concrete trucks poured nearly 600 yards of the wet stuff one day to finish the deck across the bridge’s three spans. Concrete trucks arrived at the bridge across Otter Creek around 5 a.m. via Bakery Lane and Cross Street next to the Ben Franklin store. According to Town Manager Bill Finger, the plan was to dispatch 65 concrete trucks that were scheduled to arrive individually throughout the work day. Viewers of the construction site said things went

SOUTH BURLINGTON — An officer with the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles today arrested Brian Wells, age 26, of Boston, Mass., at the DMV branch office on North Avenue in Burlington and charged him with attempting to obtain an operator’s license using a stolen identity. Vermont DMV Detective Peter Bottino responded to the Burlington DMV office after receiving a call from DMV Customer Service Specialist Sara Jelen. Wells is also suspected of obtaining two other Vermont photo operator ’s licenses containing stolen identities: one from the Springfield DMV branch and the other from the Bennington office. Wells’ photo was distributed to DMV counter staff, who were instructed to be on the lookout for him. Wells is suspected of committing numerous frauds in California and Massachusetts using fraudulently obtained Vermont licenses. Charges are also expected in those jurisdictions. Wells was lodged at the North West Regional Correctional Center in Chittenden County with bail set at $50,000.

VERGENNES — This summer, Addison County is the land of milk, maple syrup and coffee. Several local businesses, including Monument Farms—among the county’s longest operating businesses and an Eagle advertiser, located in Weybridge—are "Shakin' for Shelter" to support local homeless families and individuals at the John Graham Shelter. At Middlebury's Festival on the Green, July 11-17, and at various events throughout the summer, volunteers will serve up iced coffeeshakes with Monument Farms dairy products and maple syrup prvided by a local producer. All proceeds will benefit the John Graham Shelter in Vergennes which, for the past 30 years, has served those who have lost their housing, jobs—or both. In past years the fundraiser has proven popular. Last season, several thousand dollars were raised for the shelters in Addison and Chittenden counties.

CVPS’ Young to step down as CEO in 2011 FROM STAFF & NEWS REPORTS newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — Bob Young, who as president led Central Vermont Public Service through a cultural, service and environmental transformation, today announced his planned retirement. Young will stay on as chairman, president and chief executive officer until May
2011 to allow for an orderly search and transition. “Bob turned CV into a lean, progressive and caring company that placed customer service, reliability, the environment and corporate citizenship as its cornerstones,” said Lead Director Bill Sayre. “Through his leadership, CV became one of the most respected and professional utilities in the U.S., and has provided a sol-
id value for shareholders and customers alike.” Sayre said Russell Reynolds Associates, a leading executive search firm, will assist CVPS with an internal and national search for Young’s successor. CVPS’s ongoing succession planning should ensure a smooth process, Sayre said. CV announced Young’s plans now so the company could begin the search.

FERRSIBURGH — Half of the world’s population may face serious food shortages by 2100 reports a recent study titled, “Historical Warnings of Future Food Insecurity with Unprecedented Seasonal Heat" issued by Stanford University’s Program on Food Security and the Environment. While not every scientist agrees with this scenario, it’s ceratinly worth considering. In the coming decades, as global agriculture faces the prospect of changing climate and the challenge of feeding the world's population that is growing annually at about 1.3 percent and projected to double its present level of 6.5 billion by 2063, we clearly need to invest in research and infrastructure solutions that provide food to regions vulnerable to food deficits. The world population is growing, food supply is shrinking, water supplies are becoming more limited, and food production is competing for land with housing and the production of fuel crops. We have to make better use of available land. Balance between demand and supply of food is sensitive to climate change, fuel demands, access to water and our investments in research and infrastructure. As an agricultural professional with a lifetime investment in the art and science of developing plant life, I have been drawn to finding new, low-cost ways to enhance the propagation of fruits and vegetables to feed the world’s people and animals. Vertical farming, which offers a way to conduct larger-scale, vertical agriculture using recycled resources and hydroponics, which is the practice of growing plants without soil, which allows for the production of fruit and vegetables in spaces outside of traditional farms. Vertical farming is no longer a pie-in-the-sky concept

dreamed up by academics in Ivory towers. While the practice of vertical farming is still in its infancy, its future is truly green. We have entered a new era of urban agriculture where we can deliver locally grown crops that provide a nutritionally superior product that is healthier for the people and animals they serve. Texas-based VertiCorp pioneered today’s vertical farming technological revolution which was further honed and refined in Europe. Other firms are now producing similar vertical systems. Under proper management, the need for pesticides can be eliminated by going vertical. Plants are grown in a vertical plane in specially designed trays suspended from an overhead track. This allows the trays to rotate on a closed loop conveyor and pass through a feeding station which provides water and nutrients. An even airflow over the plants with equal exposure to light is achieved with water and nutrient run-off from the feeding station captured and recycled which reduces consumption to as little as 5 percent of the uptake in conventional systems. Vertical indoor gardening is not only the way for the Third World to go. Now consider this: year-round gardening in enclosed, heated northern climes such as Vermont? Yu can now extend your fresh-vegetable season, even indoor “buy local” farmers markets. The ideas are limitless. There’s one sure bet in this brave new world of high-tech agriculture—the next Green Revoltion will be vertical.

How to spend your summer vacation
D
on’t splurge and rent a house for a week on account of a milestone birthday.
Don’t rent a place with gosh damned fantastic air conditioning. Don’t double splurge by renting a motorboat. Don’t wish for the hottest, sunniest week in eight years, then see your wish come true. Don’t invite bunches of friends and family to make merry at a house and on a boat Don’t keep a tub of fresh cut watermelon, raspberries, blueberries, cantaloupe and strawberries, full and ready in the fridge the entire week. Don’t tan like few fair-skinned Yankees have tanned before. Don’t watch a parade that has sense to not overload itself with fire trucks. Don’t meet all types of people from an area not like, but not unlike yours. Don’t marvel watching folks, young and old, eat ice cream Don’t sit on a boat, in a bay, with friends, and send streams of prayer filled smoke of a fine cigar to the spirits, while watching the sunset, seven nights in a row. Don’t follow your exercise regimen, even though you are on vacation. Don’t see a gal in a bikini and look closely at her belly button and think to yourself how cute the belly button is if you really look closely. Don’t walk to the local creemie stand at least two, sometimes three times a day, with your closest friends and their kids. Don’t see bunny rabbits on the creemie stand walks, and don’t see how close you can get to them, and don’t get close enough that you can see their nose twitching, sniffing at the humidity. Don’t pay for all the food for the week under the condition that you don’t have to prepare any of it. Don’t talk about the good ole days and the good days to come, sitting in a large rocking chair, rocking, on a deck, looking out across the lake toward the mountains. Don’t bring a kayak, and a bike, then use them a plenty. Don’t nap, especially on a motorboat, as it rocks to and fro,
1089 and all that jazz
A
s an admittedly uninventive type — educated a long time ago — I once took blackletter law at face
value. In the planning and zoning business, we were trained to write land-use rules equally comprehensible to the regulated and the regulators, light on unpredictable “conditional use” and heavy on such specific measures of performance as setbacks and site-utilization percentages. In construction, math ruled: beam strengths and wind loads had to compute. One of my first exposures to the real world of politics, not the theoretical world of academics, came with the floods of the 1970s, which, as I described last week, revealed a whole ’nother and then-new-to-me reality: government choosing which of its own rules it would follow (or not). More was to follow, eventually compiling a statewide pattern of zoning boards awarding and denying permits without consistent reference to the actual written by-laws, and sometimes under direct instruction from Montpelier –think Manchester, Colchester, St. Albans, or Randolph—or of school districts Progressively (pun intended) reducing class size and claiming that “the state regs made us do it”. As I saw it, the concept of the flexible living law seemed to start with a previously unknown (to me, anyway) statute: 10VSA 1098. Now it’s back in the news because of a decomposing cow carcass in the stateowned Otter Creek. Ol’ 1098 requires the state to maintain its larger waterways, but when it doesn’t want to (now, for example) it just says no. More precisely, it says nothing. During the ‘70s, it said nothing for abut six years, from the first flood-caused lo -jams in its six streams in 1973, through five or six years of official inaction (and constant field flooding, crop loss, and stream-bank damage) until eventual snag removal during the late 1970s. One could argue, with technical accuracy, that 10VSA1098 is specific about State stream-maintenance responsibility but doesn’t set timelines, so what’s a mere halfdozen growing seasons, critical to the dairy farming industry, to argue over? In the present case, with a bit more delay, the carcass will soon become Northern Pike snacks and a state once known for frugality will have spent zero on it. I opined last week, a single cow carcass this year is orders-of-magnitude lesser in importance than most of the ‘70s lost to crop production, by deliberate state inaction, in the State’s more productive valleys. More than crop production was lost: confidence in Montpelier was a casualty, orders-of-magnitude greater in importance than a few thou-

sand crop acres. As subsequent governance events have played out over the next 40 years, it hasn’t been re-gained, and the drownedcow incident is the latest sit-down-shut-upwe’re-in-charge-send-money symbolic reminder. At the time, we couldn’t comprehend why the state would choose to ignore its own rules. Some farmers argued for malicious frugality, along the Robin Hood line of “if only good King Richard were in charge, and not the evil King John and his barons” and some for ordinary do-nothing incompetence. A few tied the state’s (in)action to a silent agenda: wilderness expansion. To most of us, then, the political theories of these few weren’t credible. We were wrong. A Rutgers University husband and wife professorial team proposed the Buffalo Commons, an absurd 139,000-square-mile of wilderness comprising most of the dozen states of the High Plains west of the 100th meridian. They were also pointing out that most of northern New England had been cleared for farming by land greedy inmigrants during and after the Revolution. Please read “Democracy in the Town of Kent, Conn.” by Charles Grant (1972) for a somewhat loaded account of over-population and excessive farming in the early Nutmeg State sending an over-sized younger generation north to kill trees and plant corn. Vermont reclamation took place early in the 19th century, not in the middle of the 20th. Today, farmland-created-out-ofwilderness would be described not as reclamation but as wetlands-abuse and clear-cut deforestation, which explains why the new owners’ plans are to revert the land to the Mosquito-Infested Swamp it was before reclamation. This speaks volumes about the place of agriculture in contemporary American political opinion, particularly in the last 40 years in Vermont. There’s been a clash of cultures between taciturn frugal Yankee farmers and incoming exurban refugees deriving their wealth and status from various sectors of the regulatory and information economy. Now it’s clear that the inmigrants have won. Longtime Vermont resident Martin Harris now lives in Tennesee.
gently teetering fore and aft, while anchored in a bay. Don’t watch a 13-year-old boy catch a perch off a dock, run to show his folks, then clean it, grill it, and eat it. Don’t eat award winning home made baked beans, baked by someone you just met. Don’t visit a petting farm on the hottest day of the year, and find the pets still want to be pet. Don’t "Wikipedia" information on who figured out how to make a teapot whistle when the water boils (disregard this directive if you wish, it does not relate to the others). Don’t visit a pie store; then don’t take the pie store owner up on his invitation to see his “pie operation” that will turn out to be housed in a ten foot by five foot air conditioned cubby, reeking of cinnamon, apples, and sour cherries. Don’t be surprised how early you’re ready for bed when all you’ve done that day is swim, eat, laugh, boat, boat, swim, talk, tan, talk, cut fruit, walk, eat, talk, boat, and pluck the guitar a bit. Don’t find you’ve lost the inner tube off the boat, then when you go to find it and it’s gone, you call the boat rental guy who tells you to come on up and get another one, “no charge”. Don’t be delighted watching a five-year-old girl giggle and blanch as she wades carefully into much cooler water than she’s used to. Don’t do all the things mentioned above, in a famous bay, in a famous town, in a famous state – in the summer of your fiftieth year, unless you want to have the time of your life.

Whiz wheels for stargazers A
ircraft pilots and aviation students are familiar with the socalled “whiz wheel” or E6B computer, a cardboard or metal analog device that works on the old slide-rule concept. The device dates back to the 1930s; it still handily helps pilots calculate a variety of data including wind speed, fuel consumption, and the like. Of course, there are electronic keypad versions of the E6B available, but many flyers swear by the batteryless cardboard or brushed aluminum slide wheel versions in the cockpit. Amateur astronomers have similar analog devices to rely on for a variety of tasks, from quick reference to finding stars and constellations. The best thing about such analog devices: no complicated learning curve, they don’t require batteries, and you won’t be fumbling with a keypad that is designed for a child’s tiny fingers. Most popular among the analog computers for astronomers of all levels are calculating wheels such as the Glow in the Dark Star Finder. This handy cardboard computer, and others of similar designs, help stargazers quickly locate stars and constellations at night. While advanced amateurs know the night sky like the back of their hands, many beginners will find the Star Finder a quick and easy way to gain nightsky familiarity. In the case of the Glow in the Dark Star Finder, major stars are printed in a non-radioactive luminous ink which glows in the dark (you have to expose the wheel to a light source for a few minutes to activate the luminous ink). The star finder can be set to show the positions of the stars for any date and time, a.m. to p.m. Star Finders require the user to hold the device overhead with a clearly marked arrow pointing “north” to orient. Once established, you then rotate the star map wheel so that the date of observation printed on the map corresponds to the hour of observation printed on the map. It’s more difficult to explain than to use, believe me. There’s also a handy zodiac dial printed on the wheel back. Another analog device used by astrophotographers is the Whiz Wheel (no relation to the E6B explained above). It’s an astroimaging calculator for film and electronic imaging. It can also be used with a variety of digital cameras such as CCD cameras, even web cams and home video cameras. Canadian astronomer Gordon Patterson invented this nifty calculator in 1975. But since the 1990s, the Whiz Wheel has been modernized to include exposure settings for digital cameras.
For young astronomers looking for fun, analog learning wheels make all the difference. They are easy to use and provide a great way to access instant facts and figures. By Lou Varricchio The D.C. Heath Solarscope dates from the 1950s and lists all nine planets. Yes, far-out Pluto is still considered number 9 on the the Solarscope’s hit parade, but I suspect future versions will demote Pluto to dwarf planet status. Set the Solarscope to, say, “Mercury”, and it provides you with instant data such as the hot planet’s order in size, diameter in miles, approximate mean distance from the Sun, length or day and year, length of time for a one-way radio message to travel from Earth to there, the planet’s escape velocity, etc. Another fun, handy “whiz wheel” for astronomers of all ages is the Moon Gazers’ Wheel, created in 2009 by astronomer and educator Bob Crelin. This cardboard wheel is an easy-to-use guide to understanding the changing faces of the Moon. Set the wheel for when the Moon rises and sets in your town and then you’ll be able to instantly calculate the next rising or setting—plus know the Moon’s phase. You can also determine, at a glance, if the Moon will be visible or not in the sky in your neighborhood. If you’re interested in buying any of these modest priced analog devices, start with www.powscience.com or search for “star finder wheels” and see what else is available. Moon Gazer wheels may be purchased at the inventor ’s website: www.BobCrelin.com. What’s in the Sky: On Saturday, July 17, check out Vega is the brightest star in the eastern sky.

Solar vs. scenery To the editor: Concerning the proposed “sun farm” on Route 7 in New Haven: I agree with producing electrical energy with solar panels—in fact, I am building some into my home power system. In addition to solar energy as a natural resource, we also have the natural resource of our irreplaceable Route 7 scenic corridor. It seems that a way to make use of solar energy and preserve a scenic resource (instead of filling that part of New Haven with 180 industrial-size solar panels) would be individual homeowners; a “grid tie” (no batteries) home solar energy system, which should produce budget savings and possibly income from unused output... sold back to the grid... John Madden New Haven
Community help To the editor: We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the kind and generous people who came to our aid when we had a minor house fire. To Chief Mulis and the volunteers of the the Addison Volunteer Fire Department—whose expertise and professionalism contained the fire to a portion of the roof and took care to make sure the contents of the house were covered and not subject to further damage. To the members of the Vergennes Volunteer Ambulance Corps—they showed their concern for us and made sure that we were checked out and remained on scene though out our ordeal constantly inquiring about our well being. The Town Line First Responders—they were one of the first to arrive on scene. And especially to our neighbors who showed their support and concern by their words of encouragement, and by supplying the material the fire department needed to cover the damage caused by the fire; they offered us a place to stay if we needed it. Mary and Jim Devlin Addison
n the world of opera, no operatic venue bespeaks consistent excellence of quality and elegance of performance does that of the ancestral home of the wealthy Christie family, Glyndebourne, today a mecca for serious opera lovers. I mention this because it has been a summer opera home, much like Green Mountain Opera Festival, now in its fifth year. Glyndebourne is noteworthy for elegant picnics, which is a one thing that is absent from Green Mountain Opera Festival and on the strength of the last two years, I'm beginning to think that we are capable of producing worldclass opera productions that need not depend on opera singers and of the first magnitude. There was no single performance in GMOF’s last two productions that would not have graced any operatic stage in the world.. This year's production, Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor”, advanced beyond the excellences of last year's “The Marriage of Figaro”, which was the finest production of that opera this reviewer has ever seen, and remarkable for the total unity of conception which started from the terrific sets designed and executed by Warren, Vt., resident, Gary Eckhart. I chanced upon him in the lobby prior to Friday night's opening performance of Lucia and told him once again how excellent the production of Marriage had been. He told me if I thought that was true of last year's production, I should, in effect, hold onto my hat, because I was due for some really pleasant surprises. He was more than correct. What he had devised were sets which suggested the various scenes called for in the opera libretto. They were like huge steles in a graveyard, and in the production they were quickly, and I do mean quickly, put into place by the members of the chorus, who also performed the function of the curtain sometimes in order to block the audience's view of the chorus members' activities. The fluidity that was gained by using the curtain only to close the end of the first act and the end of the opera itself was immeasurable, and had a notable positive Impact on the forward motion of the libretto. Lighting, costumes, well-trained chorus (trained by the talented Tim Tavcar, formerly director of the Vergennes Opera House), orchestra well under the control of conductor Leonardo Vordoni and playing beautifully throughout the evening (and the restoration of a glass harmonica to play the wisps of the earlier love duets was a stroke of genius, it's sound introducing a natural melancholy that was perfectly apposite for the Mad Scene ).
And the singers—if I was pleased with the cast of Marriage last year, how much greater my pleasure and hearing the splendid singers that been brought together for this production, starting with the Lucia of Nikki Einfeld. She turned the Mad Scene into a genuine tour de force of meaningful bel canto singing, and her first act aria, "Regnava nel silenzio" was a fine introduction to what we could expect from her vocally throughout the opera. There were several times where her topmost voice was just a trifle edgy, but in general her singing and acting were of superior merit. The role of Enrico, Lucia's brother and the motivating force that drives the opera, was superbly sung by baritone Jordan Shanahan. He is also a keen actor, and he had delineated his character to make a man once sympathetic and hated. His solos were gorgeously sung, and he was expert in making his ensemble pieces significant parts of the drama. The same is true of Gustav Andreassen, who sang the pivotal role of Raimondo, a minister who fails to see the consequences of Lucia's betrayal. Two tenors, Scott Ramsey (Edgardo) and Cameron Schutza (Arturo), sang very well. Ramsey had some benefits in that the second act retained the original order, where Edgardo dies after Lucia. I had from time to time of feeling that we were being reintroduced to aspects of the score that I usually cut for the sake of time (in particular, the duet between Enrico and Edgardo in act two, and the marked division between the two sections of the Mad Scene.). The ensemble singing was generally of a very high quality, especially the famous sextet. What will year six have to bring to Green Mountain Opera Festival? According to Artistic Director Taras Kulish, the plans for next year's opera are being discussed at this moment, and the choice may fall to “Don Giovanni”, an opera that has a very small chorus and a rather large cast, three sopranos, one tenor, three baritones and one bass, and now one of those cast members has an insignificant role. Not to mention the demands put upon the conductor and the orchestra. Frankly, so long as the production team includes Gary Eckhart, and so long as the company is managed by so personable man as Taras Kulish, and so long as the backers realize they are backing a true winner, I see nothing but a rosy future for Green Mountain Opera Festival, and I hope I'm around to chronicle their continued ascendancy in bringing opera of first-class quality to Vermont. Burlington resident Dan Wolfe observes and critiques the local arts scene for The Eagle. His column appears occasionally.

Moonlight (gardens) in Vermont University of Vermont The idea behind a moonlight garden is to grow plants that can be experienced at night both through sight and smell. A moonlight or night garden contains primarily white or silver plants, as these colors reflect the most light and will glow in the light of the Moon. Moonlight gardens are excellent ideas if you entertain in evenings, if you work by day so have little time then in the garden, or just want a space for meditation or relaxation. Your garden needs to be placed where the moonlight will strike it. Walk around on a moonlit night to scout out possible sites. You need to avoid places where the trees will cast moon shadows. Your garden spot also must get adequate Sun, as most flowering plants require at least six hours of direct sunlight. Many gardeners like to design their beds in the shape of a full moon or crescent, even a star, though any shape that is pleasing to you is fine. Another means to give your moonlight garden some variety is to include light yellow, cream, pale lavender, light pink, or other soft colors. These en-
hance the garden's appeal in the daylight hours too. Avoid red. As a rule, only plants in the same shade of white should be combined. For annuals with white blooms consider pansies, violas, white ageratum, 'Helen Campbell' spider flower, cosmos, white marigolds, white impatiens, white begonias (both the latter are good for shade), Marguerite daisies, dianthus, and white zinnias. Try new, low varieties of zinnias. White-scented alyssum, white-scented petunias, tall-flowering tobacco, night phlox, and stocks. There are many white perennials to choose from. These include certain species and cultivars (cultivated varieties) of violets, bellflowers, candytuft (Iberis), creeping phlox, Shasta daisies, daylilies, irises, dahlias (these are tender and will need to be dug up for winter), garden phlox ‘David’, peonies, foamflower, gooseneck loosestrife (site carefully as this one spreads aggressively), bugbane (Actaea), soapwort, foxglove, mums (these are grown as annuals in cold regions), and fall asters. White-scented perennials include roses and sweet rocket (Hesperis). Then there are vines:
moonflowers, 'Milkmaid' nasturtium, clematis, climbing roses, morning
glories, and climbing hydrangea. Hibiscus, lilacs, crabapples, and viburnums are some trees and shrubs that have white flowers. Korean spice viburnum is very fragrant. Don't forget spring-flowering bulbs such as white selections of daffodils, tulips, crocus, and hyacinths. Snowdrops and summer snowflake (Leucojum). Hyacinths and some daffodils are fragrant. Several tender perennials
or tropical plants include the huge bell-shaped hanging flowers of the angel's trumpet (Brugmansia) or thorn apple (Datura), calla lilies, tuberose, and the Atamasco Lily (Zephyranthes). For interest, add plants with interesting silver or white foliage: dusty miller or 'Longwood Silver' mintleaf (Plectranthus). The annual licorice plants have small leaves, hugging the ground. Perennials in-
clude lamb's ear (Stachys), lungwort, variegated hostas (both the latter grow in shade), artemisia, and silver-leaved creeping thymes. If you're enjoying your moonlight-in-Vermont garden outdoors, without the protection of a screened porch, mosquito repellent may be needed in many areas. Try and find a scentless one if you have some fragrant plants in your moonlight garden.

Circ Highway project Funds help clears major hurdle biofuels R&D By Louis Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com
BURLINGTON — The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) learned last week that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined that the agency’s preferred alternative for the next phase of the Chittenden County Circumferential Highway (Circ) passed environmental muster. The Corps of Engineers determined that the socalled Circ A/B Boulevard is the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative (LEDPA) for the purpose of satisfying a key federal milestone known as the Section 404 Water Quality permit process. VTrans applied for this permit in 2007 in conjunction with the issuance of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement, which evaluated not only the Circ A/B Boulevard but other roadway alternatives as well. “The Corps of Engineer ’s determination is a key decision because the Corps can-
not issue a water-quality permit unless it first determines that a proposed project is the least environmentally damaging of the practicable alternatives,” said VTrans Secretary David Dill. “The Corps’ acceptance of our LEDPA recommendation is a significant hurdle that we are glad to have cleared. Our goal is to have our 404 Permit and Federal Highway’s Record of Decision in hand this year.” VTrans and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in July 2008 identified the A/B Corridor, which requires that a new exit be built along Interstate 89, as the Circ’s preferred alternative. Since that time, VTrans and FHWA officials have been engaged in an intense cooperative effort with the Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources to permit the cor-
ridor as a new roadway. As a result of these discussions, the original Circ alternative that called for construction of a limited access highway with a 50 mph speed limit was modified to a 40 mph, four-lane boulevard-style roadway with atgrade intersections and a raised median. In addition, the modified Circ A/B Corridor includes a minor shift in alignment to minimize impacts to wetlands and vernal pools, as well as increased bridging of streams to minimize other impacts to both water quality and wildlife habitat. To compensate for the unavoidable impacts of the Circ A/B Corridor, VTrans has proposed a mitigation plan that includes the protection of nearly 500 acres of wetland and wildlife habitat. With the LEDPA in hand, VTrans can now issue its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the
Circ-Williston project, identifying the Circ A/B Boulevard as the Preferred Alternative. A 30-day public comment period follows the issuance of the FEIS, after which Federal Highway officials will issue their Record of Decision. The Record of Decision is FHWA’s formal decision document under the National Environmental Policy Act. Other permits are needed before construction can begin. VTrans hopes to complete design and permitting work such that construction could begin in 2013.
MIDDLEBURY— Biofuels research and development in Vermont got another incremental boost recently in the form of a U.S. Department of Energy grant. The grant, underwritten by U.S. taxpayers, was announced by Vermont Sustainable Jobs Funds as part of a series of grants that will support the biofuels movement in Vermont. Grants, totaling $125,000, will be made available for a variety of R&D and demonstration projects. The funds will be part of a series of grants presented through the state’s Vermont Biofuels Initiative. “The purpose of the VBI is to foster the development of a viable biomass-to-biofuels industry in Vermont that uses local resources,” according to VSJF Executive Director Ellen Kahler. The effort will help support the State of Vermont’s goal of meeting 25 percent of its energy needs via renewable sources by the year 2025.

Tremont repeats at Devil's Bowl WEST HAVEN—Ken Tremont Jr. kept up his torrid pace at Devil's Bowl Speedway Sunday night, recording his second consecutive win in the 30-lap modified feature. In four weeks of racing at the Bowl, Tremont, the defending track champion, has yet to finish out of the top five, getting a fourth, a second and now, two straight wins. Although a misty rain threatened to end the night prematurely, the fans were treated to some outstanding racing in all divisions. Jimmy Ryan started on the pole in the modified feature, but Marc Johnson was quickly on the move, using the outside groove. Johnson used a slick move to get around Ryan for the lead and by lap eight, looked like he was going to run away to his first win of the season. After opening up a huge lead, the right rear tire on Johnson's modified exploded on the backstretch on lap 11. Tremont, who had already worked his way up to third, jumped out into the lead on the restart, but Ryan wasn't going to back down, and was back out in front by the time the two cars got the flagstand. Ryan, Tremont, Mike Bruno and Don Scarborough treated the fans to some great side-by-side racing before an incident on the front stretch gave Tremont the break he needed. Something broke in the front of Jason's Bruno's modified, and he came to a stop by the flagstand. Tremont then proved to be best on the restart and beat Ryan to the finish line. Scarborough got around Bruno for third, and Vince Quenneville
Jr. completed the top five. Alex Bell used a last-lap pass to earn his first victory of the season in the sportsman feature. Jared McMahon, also looking for his first win, jumped out to a huge lead and for a while, looked like he was going to win easily. But when McMahon got into lapped traffic, Bell was able to close the gap. McMahon, running the low line, did his best to keep the lead, but Bell went high coming out of the second turn with two to go to pull even, and then darted by McMahon on the final lap to come away with the win. McMahon, Kevin Wright, Chros Johnson and Hunter Bates completed the top five. Jon Miller extended his winning streak to three races in the Renegade division, but it didn;t come easy, as a number of invaders from Airborne Speedway made the trip to the Bowl. Bill Duprey and Randy Alger locked into a heck of a battle for the first six laps, until Duprey finally shook loose. But Miller had worked his way to the front and put a ton of pressure on Duprey, until finally rocketing into the lead going down the backstretch. Miller was first under the checkered flag, with Duprey second and Larry Underwood third. Bobby Lavair also took a trip to victory lane, posting his first win of the year in the Bomber Warriors division. Devil's Bowl will be putting on a spectacular fireworks display to highlight its 4th of July show. The sportsman will
be running a 50-lap feature, and there will also be a 50-lap Pro-Stock/Super Street Challenge, paying $500 to win. Home track rules will apply for that race. Check the CVRA Web site at www.cvra.com for complete details of the holiday show.

Vermont college students casting for fishing event National Guard FLW College Fishing is headed to Lake Champlain, July 17, for the third of four stops in the Northern Division series. Forty collegiate teams will be competing for a top award of $10,000 to be split evenly between the school and bass fishing club. “The lake is full of bass,” said FLW Tour pro Pete Gluszek who has a win and two top 10 finishes on Lake Champlain. “The unique thing about Lake Champlain in July is that the tournament can be won with either small or largemouths. “The largemouth will be in the grass and flippin’ and froggin’ will be the way to catch them. The smallmouth will be deeper and dropshotting in 40–50 foot depths will be key. Gluszek added that if the wind is blowing it will be hard to travel and staying close to the launch site will pay-off in the end. Anglers will take off from Plattsburgh Boat Basin located at 5 Dock Street in Plattsburgh, N.Y., at 6 a.m. Weighin will be held at the boat basin as well beginning at 1 p.m. Takeoffs and weigh-ins are free and open to the public. Several local schools are competing in the tournament including UVM and Vermont Technical College. The top five teams from each tournament will qualify for the regional championship where the first-place team wins $25,000 cash for their school and a bass boat for their fishing club. The top five teams from each regional advance to the national championship where the first-place team wins $50,000 for their school and $25,000 cash and a bass boat for their fishing club.

Lake Monsters are on a roll FROM STAFF & NEWS REPORTS The Vermont Lake Monsters continue to pile up the wins in the early going of the New York - Penn League. They celebrated the Fourth of July by taking two out of a three game series against the Williamsport Crosscutters (Class A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies) played at Centennial Field in Burlington on July 4th - July 6th. With the pair of wins Vermont improved to 15-4 on the year, and increased their lead to four games over the Connecticut Tigers in the Stedlar Division. On Sunday, July 4th the Lake Monsters won their team-record tying eighth straight game as they scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to rally from a 3-1 deficit and defeat the Williamsport Crosscutters 4-3 in the opener of their three game set. The eight-game winning streak ties a club record set first August 22-29, 1996 and then tied June 19-26, 2001 when Vermont began the season 8-0. The win was also their seventh straight at Centennial, the longest home winning streak since August 1424, 2001, and are 8-1. The Lake Monsters fell behind early 3-0 as the Crosscutters scored two runs in the second and another in the fourth. Michael Dabbs hit a leadoff home run in the second off Vermont starter Taylor Jordan, who later in the inning gave up an unearned run on a Jim Klocke RBI groundout. Williamsport's fourth-inning run came across on a Jordan wild pitch after a single and two groundouts. Vermont got on the board in the fourth inning with an unearned run off Williamsport starter Kevin Angelle, who allowed just one hit with three walks and four strikeouts over five innings to lower his ERA to 0.37 in his four starts. Jason Martinson reached on an error to start the inning, advanced to second on a Stephen King single and to third on a balk before scoring on a David Freitas groundout. Crosscutter reliever Jake Borup (0-1) took over for Angelle and walked King to leadoff the inning. Freitas followed with a double to leftcenter and King was able to score when centerfielder Kyrell Hudson had trouble fielding the ball for an error. After a walk to Cole Leonida, Wade Moore tied the game with a groundball single to center scoring Freitas and Marcus Jones followed an out later with a flyball single to right to score Leonida with the go ahead run. Colin Bates (1-0) allowed one hit in 2 2/3 scoreless innings to pick up his first win in relief of Jordan, who allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits over 5 1/3 innings. Neil Holland had a strikeout and gave up a two-out infield single in the ninth inning to earn his second save of the year. Freitas collected two of Vermont's five hits in the game, the first time that the Lake Monsters have won a game when being out hit by the opponent. Williamsport (7-10) had seven hits in the game, including two hits for Cameron Rupp and Dabbs. The Vermont Lake Monsters eight-game winning streak was snapped in the second game of the series on Monday night, July 5, with a 4-3 loss to Williamsport. Vermont got off to a good start with a pair of runs in the first inning on a Russell Moldenhauer RBI single and David Freitas
RBI double off Williamsport starter Eric Pettis, who entered the game with a 0.53 ERA. Pettis would settle down after the first inning to retire 10 straight batters after the Freitas RBI double and the Crosscutters were able plate single runs in the third and fifth innings to tie the game 2-2. Williamsport's first run in the third was an unearned run as Carlos Alonso walked, advanced to third on a throwing error by Chad Jenkins on a pickoff attempt and scored on a sacrifice fly. Alonso then tied the game in the fifth with a solo home run, his first of the season. Vermont was able to retake the lead in the bottom of the fifth as Ronnie LaBrie led off with a double and then came around to score two outs later when on a Chad Mozingo RBI infield single. But the lead was shortlived as Williamsport scored two off Jenkins in the sixth. Edgar Duran led off the sixth with a double and moved to third on a Domingo Santana infield single. Cameron Rupp then lined a pitch right at shortstop Jason Martinson, but the ball tipped off Martinson glove for an error and allowed Duran to score the tying run. A sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second and third before Santana scored on a Jeff Cusick RBI groundout. Vermont was able to get the tying run to third base with two outs in the ninth inning, but Chase Johnson struckout Blake Kelso to end the game and snap the Lake Monsters eight-game winning streak overall along with their seven-game winning streak at Centennial. Jenkins (1-2) allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits with one walk and seven strikeouts over five innings for the loss, while Pettis (3-0) three runs on five hits in six innings for the win. Juan Sosa struckout three in two scoreless innings of relief for the Crosscutters (8-10), while Johnson struckout three in the ninth for his sixth save. Freitas and LaBrie both had two hits for Vermont. In the rubber game on Tuesday, July 6th Marcus Jones' line drive single off the leftfield wall in the bottom of the 15th inning gave the Vermont Lake Monsters a 3-2 victory, and that gave them the series 2 games to 1. Blake Kelso led off the 15th with a walk and moved to second on a Cole Leonida sacrifice bunt, the Lake Monsters fifth sac bunt of the game. Leonida was safe at first on a throwing error by pitcher Kyle Carr on the play and moved to second when Kelso was forced at third base on a Wade Moore bunt attempt. That brought Jones to the plate and he laced an 0-1 pitch over the head of leftfielder Miguel Alvarez to end the game. Jones' single was the first Vermont hit in 12 at bats with a runner in scoring position in the game. Vermont led the game 1-0 with a run in the sixth inning, but Williamsport was able to score twice in the top of the ninth to take a 2-1 lead. Carlos Hernandez had an RBI single to tie the game and Matt McConnell walked with the bases loaded to force home the go ahead run.

But the Lake Monsters tied the game in the bottom of the ninth as Russell Moldenhauer led off with a walk, pinch runner Kelso was sacrificed to second and scored when second baseman Hernandez booted a groundball by Moore. Shane Zellers (1-0), the seventh Vermont pitcher of the night, tossed a scoreless 15th for the win. Starter Matt Swynenberg gave up just four hits with one walk and seven strikeouts over six scoreless innings to lower his ERA to 0.41 (one earned run in 21 innings pitched). Hernandez was 3-for-6 for Williamsport (8-11), while Alvarez was 2-for-7 with a run scored. Carr (0-1) pitched the final 2 1/3 innings to take the loss. Vermont's David Freitas was 2-for-4 with an RBI to extend his hitting streak to seven straight (all two-hit games). Time of the game was four hours and 48 minutes, the longest Lake Monster game since July 31, 2008 when Vermont beat the Lowell Spinners 5-4 in an 18-inning game that took five hours and 31 minutes.

12 - THE EAGLE
Lee and Boyd at Centennial Field, July 17 Former Major League Baseball pitchers Bill Lee and Oil Can Boyd will be at historic Centennial Field July 17 to sign autographs as the Vermont Lake Monsters host the Staten Island Yankees. Lee and Boyd both pitched for the Boston Red Sox and the extinct Montreal Expos during their MLB careers. Lee went 119-90 with 19 saves and a 3.62 ERA in 416 games during his 14-year career (1969-82). Boyd went 7877 with a 4.04 ERA in 214 games during his 10-year career (1982-91). Also appearing at Centennial Field this
summer is former Major League pitcher Luis Tiant on July 24 and ESPN Baseball Insider Buster Olney on Aug. 6. Tiant went 229-172 with a 3.30 ERA over 573 games during his 19-year career (196482). Olney, who can be seen on ESPN's Baseball Tonight and also writes for ESPN, grew up in Randolph. All four will be at Centennial to sign autographs before and during that night's Lake Monsters game In addition, the first 500 fans at the Aug. 6 game will receive a Buster Olney bobblehead doll.
Snow Bowl From page 1 Nordic head coach Andrew Gardner was clearly thrilled with the announcement, too. “Since Middlebury last played host to the collegiate skiing championships, skiing has evolved, courses have changed and with this selection, we can show that our program and facilities have kept pace,” he said. Coach Bartlett said all the NCAA alpine venues will take place at the Snow Bowl, located on the western slope of the Green Mountain ridge in Hancock, Vt. Coach Gardner said nordic events will take place at the Rikert Ski Touring Center. According to college officials, a total of $2 million has been spent in up-to-date trail improvements, including trail safety additions. Included in the overal improvement work, the old Worth Mountain Chair lift system has been replaced. Coach Gardner said work is now underway for the 2013 championships. While the college’s alpine facility received all the attention in 2008-09, it’s now the moment for improvements to the nordic trails. The college will acquire a state-of-the-art nordic groomer.
Gardner told Vermont sports writers that the popularity of nordic-style skiing is on the rise. “The Frost Mountain club has a number of great programs from the youngest kids to master athletes,” he said.” They've built a great culture of skiing in the county over the last few years and I know that the effect of having the country's best skiers on the same trails as the local Bill Koch League will spill over in enthusiasm and love for skiing.” Ironically, as Middlebury
College improves and enhances its varsity alpine and nordic ski programs, alpine skiing at other Vermont colleges appears to be in decline. In March of this year, Green Mountain College ended its NCAA varsity men’s and women’s ski program. According to GMC President Paul J. Fonteyn, the high cost of the sport, coupled with declining student interest, were deciding factors to end the program.
SATURDAY July 17, 2010
From the Editor:
We’re all Americans! I
recently received a newspaper promotional copy of an unasuming little electronic book that arrived, via email, just in time for last week’s July 4 holiday—it’s titled “The Handbook for Americans”. And if there was ever a book that reminded me of my civic duty—as an American first, and a resident of Vermont second—it was this one. Right now, you can get this little e-book free online by visiting www.hatherleighbookstore.com. Not sure why it’s free, it just is—and no catch, as far as I can tell. I hope the publisher makes the book available to even more citizens by publishing it in a paperback edition. The Handbook begins with a stirring quote from U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. “We need a greater, a more stable and a more tolerant America,” he said in a public speech during the dark prewar days of 1939. Using FDR’s words as a jumping off point, the book then explores a dozen or so ways to improve citizenship. Upon reading the Handbook, I was inspired to explore even more ways to be a responsible citizen. The Handbook lists several ways to become a more fully engaged U.S. citizen. Here are a few suggestions taken directly from the e-book: Vote. By participating in elections at the local, state and national level, we make our opinions heard. Understand the issues. Learn as much as you can about the candidates. Vote responsibly. Stay informed. Read newspapers, magazines, blogs; listen to radio talk shows that question authority, the status quo, or challenge political correctness. An educated American is an empowered citizen. Exercise your right to free speech. Don’t be afraid to speek up. When we intelligently state our opinions, we live up to the hopes and dreams of our Founders. Freedom of speech is an extraordinary right. Support American businesses. When we buy local and other domestic made
products, we are supporting our economy and creating jobs for our fellow neighbors and other U.S. citizens. Support down-and-out Americans. The Gulf oil disaster. Flash floods. Neighbors need us. Help your fellow Americans. Donate your time, services or money to those less fortunate than you. Join a volunteer organization. Use time wisely. Help out at the local school, church or nursing home. Don’t be self absorbed. It’s not always about you. Read or reread our founding documents. The principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are timeless and essential to our continued freedom. Past is prologue. Our nation’s history is unique and filled with examples of strength, resilience and great feats. There is more good about America than bad; don’t let naysayers question your love of country Patriotism has never been out of style. Teach children—something, anything good. Enlightened patriotism comes from education, not ignorance. Teach your children, or those nearby, about the rights and responsibilities we share as Americans. Then, set an example by being a good citizen yourself. Enjoy and protect America’s natural resources. Leave the environment around you for others to enjoy. Don’t be afraid to pick up trash you see along the way. Above all else: Bet on the side of good. Believe in America. Believe that there’s a better future for us and better ways of doing things. Believe it, then act on it. Make every day your personal Independence Day. Celebrate America in the way that fits your life, but always be respectful of others. Stand tall, be proud. You are an American. Lou Varricchio

14 - THE EAGLE
SATURDAY July 17, 2010
Keep the customer satisfied By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Jazz-rock horn bands—typified by powerhouses such as Chicago, Blood, Sweet and Tears, Chase, Tower of Power, Don Ellis Orchestra, Buddy Rich and His Big Band, among others—reached their chartbusting zenith during the early 1970s. While they faded in popularity, they always maintained a fan base. Perhaps for certain babyboomers like me, there was that exciting fusion of cool and brash jazz, hard rock and blues with cool roots going back to the early swing bands of the 1920s. That same excitement, I believe, is being rediscovered by a younger generation weaned on hip-hop nihilism, repetitive rock, and the lack of pop in 21st century America. You can hear the music again. After decades of languishing in the shadows, the big sound of the classic jazz-rock horn band appears to be making a slow recovery. Enter Satin and Steel—Vermont’s contribution to the brassy revival. This band has paid its dues and deserves a high five for sticking to core principles—it was founded back in 1971 when BS&T, Chicago and others were taking jazz-rock fusion to new levels. This writer agrees 100 percent with Dick
Nordmeyer, Castleton Summer Concert on the Green’s tireless volunteer promoter; he claims that Satin and Steel is synonymous with “wow”. Amen! This local nine-piece band has to be heard to be believed. If you’ve never stood in front of a swingin’—ok, mea culpa, rockin’—horn band, you don’t know what you’ve been missing. Having personally seen international wonders like BS&T and Chicago perform live back in the ‘70s, I am sincere when I say these guys really have the chops but with feet planted firmly in 2010. On “Moon Day”, Tuesday, July 20, at 7 p.m., you can experience Satin and Steel for yourself—live and free; the band promises to be one of the highpoints of the 2010 Castleton concert series. Any warm summer Tuesday evening through Aug. 17 is worth a visit to Castleton Green to enjoy a variety of musical performers for the whole family—from folk and rock to jazz and standard vocals, all kinds of bands are showcased during this annual series that offers the best of urban and rural sounds. Satin and Steel keyboardist Brad Morgan told the Outlook that the horn band has a long history dating back to 1971. He joined S&S shortly after, in 1973. The band originated with three men and two women and several of the original band members fondly remember early gigs at the
68244
Satin and Steel live: The Chicago-inspired Vermont big band performs at the Castleton Summer Concert on the Green Series, Tuesday, July 20, at 7 p.m. Photo courtesy of Satin & Steel
Cortina Inn in Mendon. But time marched on. “People drifted away and new members joined,” Morgan said. “The band drifted apart but then regrouped 15 years ago.” Satin and Steel first emerged with Billy Comstock; its name was evocative of the male and female members at its founding, but the name still stands for the band’s silky blend of swing, jazz, blues, and rock. Most band members are jazz enthusiasts although rock and roll has always been a solid part of the band’s heritage. Curiously, there is newed interest in horn bands, according to Morgan, but big bands are expensive to organize and tour which seems to hold back the genre’s fullblown eruption. While electronic keyboards can recreate (more like approximate) horns in a studio today, they remain but a pale imitation to hardcore fans. “There isn’t enough work for horn bands in these parts,” Morgan said. “That’s why several of our musicians are music teachers; they play their passions on weekends and at private parties. Many also play in other bands.” Morgan said S&S has had few substitute players over the years. “A couple of guys may fill in from time to time, but if we are missing two individuals, we won’t take the job,” he said Satin and Steel’s unique horn section is integral to the band’s sophisticated arrangements. In short, there’s no other band like it in Vermont. “We practice several times every month, more so in the summer,” according to Morgan. The core group of band members practice together and have remained friends through thick and thin. “People ask us about producing a CD. Well, we just haven’t planned to get into a studio. There’s no timetable,” Morgan added. While the band has a sampler CD with snippets of several original songs—such as “Make Your Move” which was scored for the David Giancola action-adventure film “Diamond Run” shot in Rutland County—there’s just isn’t much of an audio trail left for fans

(and posterity) by the band, which is a shame. A significant band milestone happend this year with the passing of veteran member Jack Phipps. Phipps died unexpectedly in February. It left the band reeling. Morgan joined the band when it regrouped 15 years ago. The band eventually moved on and is as strong and vibrant as ever. But it hasn’t forgotten Phipps’ creative spirit. The list of next week’s Castleton concert sponsors is far too long to publish here, but their underwriting is to be lauded. Nordmeyer said, “Satin and Steel members have been long-term residents at Castleton which explains why they are back by popular demand. They’re energetic, outstanding, and present an exciting show and their fantastic sound has to be heard. If you're good, prove it... they do.” Satin and Steel know how to keep the customer satisfied. As it is performs now, the Vermont band includes five horns—two trumpets, two saxophones, and a trombone while the band’s equally talented four-piece rhythm section serves up the underlying signature. Here’s the lineup for July 20: Rob Henrichon (guitar), Brad Morgan (keyboard), and Bill Comstock (saxophone), Tom Boise (drums), Brian Hobbs (bass), Peter Giancola (saxophone), Bear Irwin (trombone), and Dave McKenzie (trumpet). Again, the concert is free and open to the public rain or shine. If it rains, head for the tent on the green or the Casella Theater located in the Fine Arts Center on the campus of Castleton State College. Check It Out: Rutland-based Satin and Steel performs July 20, 7 p.m., at the Castleton Summer Concert on the Green. On July 29, the band plays on the waterfront in Colchester, then on to Granville, N.Y., Aug. 5. The boys return to Rutland City Park, Aug. 18, for their final public performance. For the remainder of the summer, the band will play several private parties. For more details, contact Brad Morgan at 802-345-5511.

School board mum about retreat, meeting details
O
n June 17, I sent an e-mail to the entire Bristol Elementary School Board (BES) enumerating several questions Pam Jennings and I had about the board’s June 16 offsite retreat/business meeting. Not surprisingly, we have yet to receive an acknowledgement of, or an answer to, our questions. It is not so much: I think, that they object to the questions but that they see the questions as a threat to the sovereignty of their autocratic regime. They espouse a desire to “engage the community” and “seek diversity of view points”, but after four laborious forums they have blatantly ignored the suggestions of the participants and made absolutely no changes to their unyielding governance policies. The board has made no bones about the fact that they find all Vermont statues, particularly Title 1 Section 312 and 314, to be of no consequence to them. At a previous meeting, the statement was made that those laws written, before 1959, lacked common sense and were deemed unserviceable by the board. In his 1944 book “The Road to Serfdom”, F.A. Hayek explains the absurdity of such behavior— “It may even be said that for the Rule of Law to be effective it is more important that there should be a rule applied always without exceptions than what this rule is. Often the content of the rule is indeed of minor importance, provided the same rule is universally enforced. To revert to a former example: it does not matter whether we all drive on the left or on the right-hand side of the road so long as we all do the same. The important thing is that the rule enables us to predict other people's behavior correctly, and this requires that it should apply to all caseseven if in a particular instance we feel it to be unjust.” By virtue of the board’s superior intelligence and strict planning, we taxpayers are expected to consume what they feel is best for us and not question or complain. As Saint-Simon predicted in the19th century, those who do not obey the proposed planning boards will be treated as cattle. And any who presume to offer a different viewpoint at a BES planning board meeting can expect to be treated not much better than those cattle at the Grand Isle slaughterhouse. The question they no doubt found most annoying was about why they put so much emphasis on trying to divert attention away from the “failing school” designation through “positive P.R.” instead of devoting time and effort to finding a solution and fixing the problem. Board members are determined to make this failing Bristol school—and of course themselves—look as good as possible while the education of our students, unfortunately, continue to suffer. R.E.

Bridge From page 1 smoothly with minor delays downtown. There were a significant number of additional construction workers, associated with the deck installation, Finger noted. Kubricky Construction and Carrara crews were involved in coordinating the deck work; work on three three spans of the bridge were on schedule. So far, work on the bridge has been flawless and on schedule. The bridge is set to open for traffic and pedestrians in October.

Dress up your Shakespeare By Catherine M. Oliverio newmarketpress@denpubs.com POULTNEY—The Poultney Summer Theatre Company’s upcoming Shakespeare on Main Street event will feature an all-female cast in William Shakespeare’s beloved “The Tempest”. This summer’s magical production will showcase young designer Gina D’Angelo who is already making a name for herself in New York and California. She is known for her innovative and hightech costumes, which are also sold nationally. For this summer’s cast of “The Tempest”, D’Angelo is known fondly as the Costume Mistress. “This production is magical and fun as shipwrecked characters interact,” said D’Angelo. “My assistant Caroline Hogan and I don’t have to be stuck in the traditional Elizabethan period. The two opposing factors of royalty versus the island fanstasticals give us the opportunity to play out the contrast of the two groups.” Period costumes will be fancy, ornate, and devoid of color, purely black and white, whereas the islanders’ costumes will be colorful, laid back and sensual. In Shakespeare’s time, the all-male casts covered male and female roles. Today, in Poultney, there’s a
new twist—it’s an all-female Shakespearean cast. “The all-woman cast has proven challenging because we need women to look like men,” said D’Angelo. “Gary Meitrott, our artistic director’s, inspiration let women take it back when in the Shakespearean era men dominated the casting.” Despite the all-female cast, Christine Blust plays the only female character, Miranda. Three women play goddesses: Sierra Carter, Caroline Hogan, and Serena Gallagher represent a total of four roles. The creature Caliban, the reptilian fish monster, is portrayed by Maris Wolff, who has been a dancer all her life. Her elaborate costume matches her energy and portrayal of Caliban. Ariel is a sprite, magical fairy that tends to be invisible often playing pranks on others. Jenna Carlson in this role is made up to be plant-like, somewhat of a wandering vine. Prospero exiled to the island with his daughter took over and enslaved Caliban causing lots of internal conflicts. Ida Mae Johnson as Prospero is like a wizard, and the focal point of her costume is her magical cloak. D’Angelo resides in Poultney and operates her business there—the Uncanny Adventures in Comic Costume Creations. Since childhood, she has been inspired by the
lure of costumes. D’Angelo graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fashion merchandising and design from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. She also attended one year at Dutchess County Community College. “Marist is a college with an exclusive and extensive (fashion) program, where one can do internships with famous designers. I got to do mine with Donna Karan,” she said. Currently, D’Angelo is working on a project on a display for the California State Fair. “It’s like a Hollywood theme. My booth goes on tour for a year,” she said. Check It Out: “The Tempest” will be performed July 30-31, Aug. 1, and Aug. 6-8. For more details, call Kitty Galante at 802-287-4270.
