Don Thompson: Playing Samuel de Champlain French Heritage Day By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com VERGENNES Ñ When Don Thompson gets into French history, he does it with a passion. A retired teacher, Thompson prepared for his new career in living history with the help of his teacher wife Carol, show-and-tell artifacts from his own collection, and plenty of homework. Back in 2009, Thompson became a familiar face to thousands of touristsÑan d residents of Vermont, New York and QuebecÑ portraying the bold French explorer Samuel de Champlain at the 400th anniversary of ChamplainÕ s visit. Thompson grew up in Tappan, N.Y., near the site where Revolutionary British spy Major John Andre was hung over the Benedict Arnold affair. As a result of this early connection with history, Thompson has always been a student of AmericaÕ s storied past. The actor graduated from Hope College in Michigan with an undergraduate degree in history. He went on to graduate school at SUNY-Albany where he received a masterÕ s degree in geography. He taught in Michigan and Vermont schools but then relocated to western New York to teach for 29 years. After retirement, he and his wife Carol returned to Vermont. They maintain homes in Vermont and Florida. ÒI love local history,Ó Thompson said. ÒWh ere ever I live, I want to know about the area, so IÕ ve spent a lot of time studying and understanding the past on a local level.Ó According to a Florida news article, ÒT hompson continues his active interest in local history wherever he is living... He has researched the history of Egmont Key in Tampa Bay and gives talks on the island to civic groups and libraries, and also does first-person school programs on railroad baron Henry B. Plant and Andrew Carnegie.Ó While living in the Syracuse area, Thompson was hired to be an interpreter at the reconstructed site of a 17th-century Jesuit mission called Saint Marie Among the Iroquois. His interest in history also found him involved in archeological digs around the region. Thompson received several awards for his work, including one from Business Week magazine for Òi nnovative teaching in creating a simulated archaeological dig activity for his studentsÓ. And the reenactor has participated in digs at Rogers Island, N.Y., and
VermontÕ s Mt. Independence. The centuries-long shadows cast by Champlain and Hudson kept him busy with public appearances throughout the region during the twin quadricentennials. ÒF ew people realize just how far and wide Champlain explored in the Northeast,Ó Thompson said. ÒH e explored the coast of New England by ship, traveled out to western New York, and then went as far as Lake Huron. And unlike the English and Spanish, Champlain treated the Indians a lot more fairly. In fact, many Indians came to respect Champlain and his legend was kept alive orally by Natives for yearsÑev en in the far West. I believe Champlain probably converted from Protestantism to Catholicism after being in the New World a few years.Ó There is some evidence that Champlain even explored parts of the Susquehanna River watershed in southcentral New York and perhaps traversed the big river as far south as Pennsylvania. Like British explorer Henry Hudson, a bigger-than-life figure Thompson is also portraying during the 2009 Hudson Quadricentennial in the Hudson Valley, Champlain searched for a mythical northern water route from the Atlantic to the Pacific. ÒM y wife Carol and I just wrote a book, titled ÒS eeking the Northwest Passage: The Explorations and Discoveries of Champlain and HudsonÓ, which examines the Northwest Passage dreams of these men. They were fascinating, colorful people.Ó Thompson has written the book ÒL ake Bomoseen: The Story of VermontÕ s Largest, Little-Known LakeÓ. Thompson is at home traveling around Vermont portraying his personal favoriteÑS amuel de Champlain. ÒI tÕ s hard work but I love it,Ó he said. ÒM y mission is to keep the spirit of this great man alive.Ó Thompson appeared in character at this yearÕ s French Heritage Days in Vergennes, July 12.

SALISBURY Ñ Vermont State Police in New Haven reported that they conducted a motor vehicle stop that led to the arrest of James Bishop of Salisbury for driving while criminally suspended, Department of Motor Vehicle revealed that BishopÕ s right to drive in Vermont was criminally suspended.

From the Editor
No shoes, no shirt, no sale
T
here are many signs that things just arenÕ t what they used to be. While the oldsters (like me) miss the good old days, it doesnÕ t take a senior citizen to recognize that our culture is coarser, folks less friendly, with less fun and color than it was just 25 years ago. Society seems depressingly dark and dreary. Even stories about our future are bleak. IÕ m beginning to feel like I might like to move someplace else. But where? IÕ m back to living here in the dreary now of 2014 and hoping the next person I meet will be free of tattoos and not attempt to a part of me from my wallet. My friend John agrees with this take on our eroding civil society. Forget pop culture and the U.S. Congress and Senate. Look at the public, commercial sector we inhabit as being the canary in the coalmine. There are so many stories I could use to buttress my thesis of an uncivil capitalism; here are just two: Take my friend JohnÕ s recent go-round with a Florida real-estate agent via the telephone. While John was looking to invest in a retirement condominium, he became upset with a realtor who seemed to be more interested in her personal playtime and making an immediate sale than in doing a little extra work to make a sale. John repeatedly left phone voice messages with the agent during the late morning hours, that is, when it was convenient for himÐt he potential customerÐt o call Florida. No return calls were in the offing. Then one day, the excited agent called to say she found John the perfect condo by the water. Great. But when he inquired about getting more details–specifically what heavy objects, such as a security safe, could be accommodated on an upper-floor unit–the agent gave what seemed like an audible sigh over the phone. Simply put, this realtor couldnÕ t be bothered with digging out more data to help put icing on a potential sale. Not even a Òw ell, ok, give me a few days and I’ll find the answer for you.” Instead she instructed John, ÒI would suggest that you call the building manager yourself for those kinds of details, if youÕ re serious about buying.Ó To compound this unusual, even brazen sales tact, she didnÕ t have the managerÕ s phone numberÐt hen wasnÕ t sure she had time to track it down. Is this a new kind of sales technique? Next, when John casually mentioned it was really hard to get ahold of her in the morning, she told him that she played tennis every morning until 11:30, so it was always best to call her after lunch to do business. Ô Do businessÕ ? Are you kid-

ding? This is business in modern America? What kind of self-employed realtor runs a business, especially in a depressed market like Florida, like that? John has since found another realtor who bends over backward for him. She hasnÕ t made a sale yet, but when she does, John will be the guy that will put her over the top and get her the Employee of the Month parking space. Ok, now my story. Take my recent interaction with a car salesperson. A few weeks ago, I was in an auto showroom looking at a 2013 model SUV that had many of the bells and whistles I was looking for like 4WD. An eager salesman approached me. He asked about my interest in the vehicle. I told him that I admired the car, but that I was many months away from making a purchase. I was probably not buying until next spring. I said that I needed time to consider such a major purchase, especially when a car todayÐ thanks, in part, to labor wages, taxes, marketing and advertising budgets, and environmental and other regulationsÐc osts more than my annual income. ÒT his is much like buying a home for me,Ó I said. ÒI tÕ s not a decision to make too quickly.Ó ÒO h, you mean youÕ re not ready to purchase now?Ó ÒT hatÕ s right,ÓI replied. The reaction I received was purely visual. The salesman sprouted a sort of dejected look that seemed to mask a deeper sneer at my indecisiveness. I next asked the salesman if I could take home a glossy color photo booklet showing the SUV and all its technical specs; that would better help me form an opinion. ÒW ell,Ó the salesman replied, Òt hese are very expensive brochures; we donÕ t get many to hand out. But I would be happy to give one to you if you are seriously interested in the vehicle.Ó So, brochures are only for closers now? ÒH ey, I am sure the brochure will help make up my mind faster,Ó I replied. I left the showroom with the highly prized color brochure. And I wondered: was asking for a free brochure now part of a sales negotiation? If itÕ s such a big deal to give away brochures, put a price on the cover. While I still like the SUV, I doubt I will purchase it from that dealer. My only fear is that the salesman in the competing dealership wonÕ t talk with me unless I arrive brandishing a credit card. At least I donÕ t have to humiliate myself by asking for a brochure. Lou Varricchio, Vermont Eagle

VermontÕ s only rodeo is a touch of the real west
CASTLETON Ñ Pond Hill Pro Rodeo Co. in Castleton kicked off its 44th year of producing one of New EnglandÕ s best and most colorful, summer-long professional rodeo event. The 2014 rodeo season east of the Missiissippi got underway on the last weekend of June and the Eagle was on hand at VermontÕ s sole venue to document the all-American thrill sport.

Red flags for single payer plan Ò LetÕ s talk about big government run [healthcare] plans,Ó U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I, vermont) needled fellow VeteransÕ Affairs Committee member John McCain. Ò I donÕ t want to shock anybody here and have people dashing out of the room, but the V.A. (VeteransÕ Administration) is a socialized healthcare system, right Mr. McCain? Socialized medicine.Ó Yes, it is. As Senator Sanders pointed out, in the socialized system of the V.A., the staff is Ò not out there busy raising money; charging them [customers] money.Ó We hear similar arguments in favor of implementing a government-run, single payer healthcare system here in Vermont. Get the profit motive out of our healthcare system, get private sector people who are motivated by greed out of the healthcare system, and everyone will get all the care they need when they need it. The recent scandal at the V.A. involving bureaucratic fraud, care denied to patients, cover-ups, and the deaths of some forty veterans in Phoenix, Arizona, while they waited months and in some cases over a year for an appointment should raise some red flags for Vermonters. We are just a few years away from entering our own V.A.-like system: single payer Green Mountain Care. As such, itÕ s in our best interests to ask some hard questions about the root causes of how a government-run healthcare system allowed these things to happen. First, a brief review of what happened in Phoenix. The man-

Guest Viewpoint agers of the VeteransÕ hospital there were caught covering up that fact that 1400 to 1600 patients were denied care while being placed on waiting lists for up to fourteen months to see a doctor despite the V.A.Õ s stated policy to provide all care in a Ò timely manner,Ó which is supposed to mean within fourteen days (Green Mountain CareÕ s promise is more vague: care Ò at the appropriate time in the appropriate settingÓ ). In order to cover up the truth, hospital staff kept two sets of books, an official but fake set showing patients receiving the timely care politicians had promised, and a second Ò secretÓ set that reflected the grim reality. The Phoenix story is not an isolated incident. Since Phoenix, similar accounts have emerged in over twenty-five states. Neither is this a new issue. Quality questions have dogged the V.A. for years. During the Bush Administration the Walter Reed facility in Maryland was the focus of some scandalous quality issues in which, according to the Washington Post, Ò troops who lost limbs and suffered traumatic brain injuries or post-traumatic stress were quartered for months in moldy and rodent-infested rooms with inadequate follow-up care.Ó It doesnÕ t matter whoÕ s running the system. ItÕ s the system. So, how does this happen and why does it never get fixed in a government-run, socialized system where the profit motive has been removed? LetÕ s be honest, people in government have the same personal profit motives and are just as prone to greed as anybody else. It’s not because of an absence of greed that six of the top ten richest counties in the country today are suburbs of Washington D.C., and 13 of the top 30 form a circle around the capital. The power of government is a tempting tool for those wishing to enrich themselves and their cronies. At the Phoenix V.A., Forbes reports:
• Staff salaries were as high as $357,528 for doctor executives and $147,724 for nurse staff. The average Arizona doctor makes just over half of what the top-paid Phoenix VA doctors make, according to federal stats. • From 2011 to 2013, over $843,000 in bonuses were awarded to the staff. • The hospital’s 2013 gardening budget was more than $180,000. • The hospital’s interior design bills surpassed $211,000 for the past three years. The problem with any government run system is that the bureaucrats running that system are not accountable to the people being served by that system. Bureaucrats are ultimately accountable to the politicians who control their funding, and thatÕ s who they aim to please. Politicians arenÕ t accountable to patients, theyÕ re accountable to voters, and thatÕ s who they aim to please. What do politicians seeking re-election hate more than anything else? Bad headlines. What do voters hate more than anything, politicians who raise taxes. Problems don’t get fixed because in order to fix them, you have to draw attention to the fact that there is problem in first place, and thatÕ s bad headlines. Fixing a problem once admitted to will likely require more resources and higher taxes Ð angry voters. If you get caught in a mess, better to just call the situation a “big nothing-burger” and promise big fixes after the next election, and wait for the people to forget. If this werenÕ t the case, the VA would have been fixed long ago. - Rob Roper is president of the Ethan Allen Institute (www. ethanallen.org). He lives in Stowe.

Letters to the Editor and Project Graduation for the MUHS Class of 2014. It was truly special and memorable. Senior Week is always a special time at MUHS. The Raft Race and Senior Picnic at Branbury State Park on Wednesday, the parade down Court Street and past the Mary Hogan School on Friday morning, the Commencement Exercises on Saturday morning and the culminating event of Project Graduation throughout the night of the 14th remind us of the spirit and shared commitment to excellence that exists in the MUHS community... This yearÕ s Project Graduation was dedicated to the memory and spirit of Carl Ciemniewski, a beloved long time teacher and coach at MUHS who passed away this spring. His loss was felt by all, but his spirit remains ever present in all the activities. Carl was one of the original founders of Project Graduation, and he returned each year to lead the Casino portion of the night... We would just ask that you consider making a donation to the Carl Ciemniewski Legacy Scholarship Fund, (CCLSF). Checks can be sent to the high school or dropped off at the National Bank of Middlebury. The fund will continue to support graduates go-

State Department of Health promotes HIV testing lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ð The Vermont Department of Health is reminding Vermonters to get tested for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Nationally, accroding to Patsy Kelso, state epidemiologist, about 16 percent of people living with the virus donÕ t know that they have it. It can take about 11 years from the point of infection before identifiable symptoms of HIV infection present themselves. Ò While there is no cure for HIV, there are medications available to treat the condition,Ó said Kelso. Ò Treatment can improve health and prolong life Ð and it can reduce the amount of virus in the bloodstream which can greatly reduce your chance of spreading HIV to others.Ó Most people should be tested for HIV at least once as part of their routine health care. People at higher risk should get tested every year. Being unaware of oneÕ s HIV infection increases the risk of unknowingly transmitting the virus to others.

College welcomes new president By Stephen Mease Special to the Eagle
BURLINGTON — Donald J. Laackman officially begins his tenure today as the eighth president of Champlain College, succeeding David F. Finney, who retired June 30 after nine years. Laackman was appointed president-elect in December 2013 by the Champlain College Board of Trustees and has been working with the transition team meeting faculty, staff and students throughout the spring. In a brief, informal ceremony in the President’s office, outgoing President Finney handed over the keys to the College to Laackman on June 30, officially marking the start of the new leadership era. Ò The Champlain community Ð the board, faculty, staff and students Ð have been so welcoming during the transition. I send special thanks to Dave Finney and the presidentÕ s cabinet for their help over the past six months. I am excited to lead Champlain College into the next phase of its development toward the goal of becoming the finest small, professionally and globally focused college in the United States,Ó he added. Described as an exceptional leader in workforce development and education, LaackmanÕ s background encompasses higher education, economic development, information technology, strategy development, operations and large-scale organizational transformation. His background in the business, higher education and non-profit sectors uniquely positions him to strengthen the competitive advantage Champlain College has established through its innovative model of higher learning that blends career-focused education with interdisciplinary liberal study to give students the skills to adapt to a rapidly evolving world. Laackman comes to Champlain College from Harold Washington College, in Chicago, where he served as president since 2011. During his tenure at Harold Washington College, Laackman played a key role in the Ò ReinventionÓ initiative of Chicago City Colleges, creating strategies and programs for diverse student populations while eliminating barriers to employment and addressing inequality in higher education. In 2012, he launched the Business, Professional Services and Entrepreneurship Ò Col-
lege to CareersÓ offering, a Mayoral initiative providing students access to real-world experience through teacher-practitioners and internships, and getting more students and graduates into meaningful jobs. Prior to his presidency at Harold Washington, Laackman managed Workforce and Education programs for Civic Consulting Alliance, a non-profit partnership dedicated to reshaping how Chicago operates through building pro-bono teams of business experts, government leaders and staff that develop strategies for making Chicago more livable, affordable and globally competitive. As a principal at Civic Consulting Alliance from 2008 to 2010, Laackman led several workforce system change initiatives, including the creation of the Chicago Workforce Investment Council, designed to increase ChicagoÕ s return on investment to taxpayers for over $360 million spent on workforce programs. Additionally, he headed up the development of a strategy for improving Career and Technical Education for 25,000 Chicago Public School high school students. From 1984 to 2007, Laackman worked at Accenture, one of the world’s leading consulting, technology and outsourcing firms. Over his 23-year career with the company, he led strategy, sales, planning, change and information technology solution initiatives, while providing client management and professional development and business-unit management. Laackman received his B.A. degree in economics, politics, rhetoric and law from the University of Chicago in 1984. He obtained his Masters in Public Policy from the University of Chicago in 2009. He is married to Allyson Laackman, vice president for finance and administration and chief financial officer for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. They have two children, Donald and Emily.

Students celebrate Social Media Day By Elicia Mailhiot
elicia@addison-eagle.com RUTLAND Ñ Ò Tweet, like, Hashtag.Ó The social media jargon, while still foreign to some, has become second nature to many. Last week, Castleton State College, in partnership with the Downtown Rutland Partnership, participated in the nationwide Social Media Day. The event, which was created in 2010 by the tech blog brand Mashable, aims to Ò recognize the digital revolution happening right before our eyes.Ó Social Media Day is celebrated in countries across the globe, from Australia to the Philippines and Sri Lanka to Morocco. While the event occurs throughout the counCastleton State College, in partnership with try, the company encourages communities to take the the Downtown Rutland Partnership, particievent and tailor it for their area. pated in the nationwide Social Media Day But what does that exactly mean for Rutland? last week. According to Katye Munger, director of digital media at Castleton State College and one of the eventÕ s producers, the needs of Vermonters who rely on social media for not only personal use, but business as well are significantly different than those of individuals who live in a larger city. For the event, Munger enlisted the help of longtime Vermonter Matt Dunne, who serves as head of community affairs at Google, to kick-off Social Media Day with his keynote speech. While the event was open to anyone who was interested, the speakers and seminars were specifically designed with small businesses and non-profits in mind, as they represent the majority of VermontÕ s business population. Following DunneÕ s speech, the group broke away into two tracks of breakout sessions: one for beginners, and one for intermediates. Beginner topics included Measuring Social Media and Social Media for Non-Profits, while the intermediate level featured topics such as Don’t Set it and Forget It. The day ended with a networking reception and cocktail hour from 3:30 to 6 p.m. at the Castleton Center in downtown to celebrate a successful #SMDRutVT. Social Media Day was just one example of how several Rutland establishments are shifting their focus to include social media in day-to-day training and operations. For its fall 2014 semester, the College of St. Joseph is introducing a social media certificate program and concentration. According to the college, the program will provide Ò in-demand web skillsÓ such as web marketing, social media communication, web analytics, and more. Ò Job listings increasingly show a demand for Web and social media skills. In both the concentration and certificate program students will learn how to tell a story, share the story online, and interpret its success,Ó said the college. Ò Students will have the opportunity to complete coursework in areas of interest that are relevant to their career, business or degree program.Ó The program is a great fit for small business owners, employers looking to trail staff, non-profits, and job seekers looking to add these skills to their toolbox. The four-course certificate program consists of four classes and can be completed in a year. For more information, visit csj.edu/social.

to maximize power production, submitted the solar orchard for the award. The farm was noteworthy for its use of virtual net metering on unused agricultural land to the Vermont Hard Cider Company, LLC, maker of Woodchuck¨ Hard Cider, the original craft cider brand known for its authenticity and innovative cider varieties. The use of the 26 distributed inverters also allowed the project to be sited on rural single-phase electric lines and avoid costly distribution line upgrades. Ò We are very proud of our partnerships with AllEarth Renewables and the farmer hosting the Bridport solar orchard. We believe in working together as a community to maximize environmental sustainability, and are honored by the recognition the solar orchard recently received,Ó said Woodchuck Communications Manager Nate Formalarie. In its first year in operation, the 150kW project produced over 252,000 kWh, supplying approximately 15 percent of the power needed for the cidery. The project was installed in the winter of 2013. Production reports for the solar orchard can be found here.
Foundation grant to build gardens for Addison residents MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Department of Health Middlebury District Office along with Middlebury Union High School Alternative Education Program and Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN) recently received a $1,575 grant from the Vermont Community FoundationÕ s Small and Inspiring grant program. The grant will help build 15 raised garden beds at the homes of Addison County WIC (the special supplemental nutrition program for Women, Infants & Children) participants and other lowincome residents. The idea for this project came out of a farm-to-school meeting hosted by ACORN. Steve Colangeli, science teacher in the MUHS Alternative Education Program, talked at that meeting about how his students were building raised garden beds on the school grounds but the students wanted to find a way to give back to the community. Moira Cook, Middlebury district office director for the Health Department, proposed a partnership with the local WIC program. WIC is the special supplemental nutrition program for Women, Infants and Children which provides nutrition education, breastfeeding support and nutritious foods for income eligible families. A member of the Health DepartmentÕ s staff, Linda King, previously ran her own small-scale vegetable farm and was a former manager of the Middlebury Farmers Market. King had expressed a desire to do more gardening outreach and education with local families. Students in the Alternative Education Program will build the garden beds and King will provide follow-up consultation on planting, weeding, harvesting and preparing vegetables from the gardens. Ò WeÕ re excited about this partnership. The students will be able to use their building skills to help the community and local families will gain the knowledge and tools to help feed themselves nutritious foods,Ó said Cook. The raised garden bed project will be integrated into the Alternative Education curriculum and students will build half of the raised beds in the fall and half in the spring. The Health Department’s Middlebury District Office will start promoting the availability of the raised garden beds at WIC clinics during the summer. Through its Small and Inspiring grants program, the Community Foundation hopes to help foster the spark and hope that keeps Vermonters healthy and happy by finding and supporting projects in every town in Vermont where a small grant can make a big difference.
