ROV to explore lake wreck
From News Reports
Boats festival open to public, Aug. 8-9
U-BOAT—Be a robot geek this weekend and virtually “dive” on a shipwreck in Lake Champlain with the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s ROV or remote operated vehicle. The ROV, similar to the ROV pictured, will explore an undisclosed wreck site.\ Remember those cool underwater robots in the sci-fi mega movie “The Abyss”? The movie’s fictional Big Geek and Little Geek robots closely resemble real-world remote-controlled submersibles called ROVs or remote operated vehicles. Now you can get a closeup look at Vermont’s own “little geek” diving Lake Champlain this weekend. For $22, adults can join a pioneering lake cruise and observe a high-tech ROV explore an historic wreck. Archaeologists on board the Escape will take the curious guests to an undisclosed shipwreck site and then “dive” the robot into the deep water. This ROV event is part of "Messing About in Boats", the annual Small Watercraft Festival at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, Aug. 8-9 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. On Saturday at 11 a.m., explorers

Organic food gives no health benefits to consumers, according to research for the British Food Standards Agency of published July 30. Shoppers pay more for organic fruit, vegetables, chicken, beef and milk but the food gives no nutritional enhancement to people’s diet. The watchdog stopped short of advising consumers that buying organic produce was a waste of money but its message was clear: choosing to eat organic food will make no important difference to a person’s overall health. Eating a healthy balanced diet is the only important thing, the report concluded. The research—the first

Bove’s wins national food award Homemade Vermont foods since 1941 Bove’s frozen lasagna has been awarded the National Association of Specialty Food Trades’ prestigious Gold Sofi Award in the Outstanding Pasta, rice and grain category. The all-natural, handcrafted lasagna is a frozen version of the classic that has had customers literally lining up around the block to get a taste at Bove’s famous Café in Burlington, Vermont. A year ago Mark Bove, president and full-time sauceboy, introduced the world to his family’s recipe on the Food Network’s “Throwdown” with Bobby Flay, soon followed by an appearance on the “Today Show”, where Bove prepared lasagna for Hoda and Kathie Lee. The national exposure sent demand for Bove products soaring. “I was making small versions of the lasagna at the restaurant and shipping them around the country,” said Bove. “We just couldn’t keep up with demand this way, which led me to produce the lasagna for retail.” Each frozen Bove’s Meatball Lasagna is produced by hand in Vermont—the same way it was made by Mark Bove’s grandmother, Victoria, in 1941, according to the businessman and chef. Bove’s Cafe, located in Burlington, offers affordable, homemade Italian specialties including their acclaimed lasagna.

Burlington resident Tiki Archambeau and another witness filed a complaint regarding Democrat State Sen. Ed Flanagan (Chittenden County) last week. The witnesses said they saw Flanagan masturbating in the locker room of the Greater Burlington YMCA’s men’s wellness center. Flanagan is a Democratic candidate in the Vermont 2010 lieutenant governor race. Flanagan denied the charge.
“I was absolutely not doing that in the locker room,” Flanagan told a Fox 44 television news crew July 29. “...I did not do anything inappropriate, in my mind, when I was unclothed.” “Too bad Ed doesn't remember that because I remember it vividly,” Archambeau told Fox 44. “In fact I wish I could shake the memory from my head.” Other accounts of lewd and lascivious behavior, attributed to YMCA visitors, have been heard by some members. According to the news report, Mary Burns, president of the Greater Burlington YMCA, did not comment on the claims. However, according to YMCA policy, guests found in lewd settings would have their memberships revoked.

Dweezil Zappa plays Frank Zappa. By Bill Wargo
Join us for Vermont’s Best Waterfront Dining
Open 7 Days for Lunch & Dinner Arrive by plane, boat or car!
newmarketpress@denpubs.com Hey, South Burlington City Council members: Frank Zappa’s son, rock guitarist Dweezil Zappa, will be at Higher Ground on Aug. 10 presenting his highlypraised Zappa Plays Zappa Show, so why not make Aug. 10 “Frank Zappa Day”? There is precedent. Two years ago, Baltimore (MD) Mayor Sheila Dixon declared August 9 to be “Frank Zappa Day” when Dweezil performed the same show there. Granted, the fact that Frank was born in Baltimore and had recorded a song entitled “What’s New in Baltimore?” may have influenced Mayor Dixon’s decision. But there are plenty of other reasons to honor Frank Zappa (1940-1993). He was an iconoclastic and prolific musician, composer, producer, and author inspired by doo-wop, jazz, blues, and the modern symphonic works of Stravinsky, Varèse, and Webern. The attorney members of the S.B. City Council will also remember that he was a fierce and outspoken champion of First Amendment rights. Although Frank made the pop charts with “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow,” “Dancin’ Fool,” and “Valley Girl,” he is probably best know for his extremely challenging, angular compositions in both rock and orchestral music, his innovative guitar playing, and his irreverent lyrics and writing. About four years ago, Dweezil Zappa decided that he wanted to “present Frank’s music to a larger audience,” and he has tirelessly tried to do so. His set list

Jupiter gets whacked—again!
T
hanks to keen-eyed amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley of Australia, the world became aware of a second giant impact on planet Jupiter within 15 years. The event occurred on July 19. Fifteen years earlier— almost to the day—20 fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smacked into Jupiter. The July 1994 event was televised around the world. “I noticed a dark spot rotating into view in Jupiter ’s south polar region and started to get curious,” Wesley told reporters about his recent discovery. “When first seen close to the limb, and in poor conditions, it was only a vaguely dark spot, I thought likely to be just a normal dark polar storm. However, as it rotated further into view, and the conditions improved, I suddenly realized that it wasn't just dark, it was black in all channels—meaning it was truly a black spot.” The impact blemish discovered by Wesley is big—very big; it’s about the size of Earth’s Pacific Ocean. Had the giant asteroid or comet that created this Jovian event collided with Earth, it would have been 1,000 greater in explosive power than the Tunguska comet airburst over the remote tundra of Siberia in 1908. Other professional and amateur astro photographs of the impact site are being posted on the Internet almost weekly. The images show the atmospheric aftermath of the event as a spreading black ink spot. But what happened down below the Jovian clouds after such a cosmic wallop? Jupiter ’s slushy “surface” is under titanic pressure; it is composed of a very weird liquid-metallic form of hydrogen. This “surface” (the term is used loosely by astronomers) lies deep beneath an increasingly dense and smoggy atmosphere composed of 90 percent hydrogen, 12 percent helium, along with methane, water, ammonia, silicon-based compounds, carbon, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, neon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphine, and sulfur. With a lot of this “porridge” to plow through, there’s probably no impact craters from either last month’s event or the 1994 comet spectacle. Besides, where would you begin to look in Jupiter ’s “surface” environment? According to news reports, the Keck Observatory, atop Hawaii's Mt. Kea volcano, captured the impact last week via
H
saking a long-lived collaboration between itself and the spirit and soul of Laura Wallace. The brunt of the stroke left Laura’s left side dead, still, and out of commission. Nice to see her right arm could still move, and she could still force un-intelligible sound out the right side of her mouth, which she did periodically throughout my thirty minute stay. “You need to rest. Rest is good Aunt Laura. You’re set up perfectly here to rest. The girls will keep you comfortable,” is what I came up with in response to what Aunt Laura was trying to say. Aunt Laura’s struggle to speak was sad to watch. I’d experienced end of life moments with my father, so the scene didn’t throw me. But still it’s odd and heart wrenching to stand watching life leave a blood relative. However at the same moment came a refreshing thought; half my genes are from the longevity hogging DeWees’ side (Dad lived to ninety-three, Laura Wallace is his sister), while the other half are from my mother ’s side, the Masons, a blood line that has shown serious longevity of it’s own for having sent many members deep into their eighties, and beyond. Twenty-four hours after Aunt Laura’s stroke, a nurse from the care home called and said Laura had regained the ability to move her left side, and she was sitting up and talking fluently. The nurse said Laura wasn’t yet able to gulp down meals, but they were working on that. The news was good, not because anyone would suspect Aunt Laura is dying to live longer, but because she had hastily repaired from the stroke to the point where she no longer had to struggle to breath and speak. A week has passed and I’ve visited a flourishing
an infrared camera. Astronomers believe they can learn about the behavior of Jupiter ’s atmosphere by studying the rate at which the impact hole expanded and dissipated. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope was quickly redirected from its deep-space work to inspect the Jupiter impact site. Hubble returned several outstanding natural color images of the impact scene. Also, Hubble’s brand new camera—installed by shuttle astronauts in May—payed for itself by providing astronomers with high-resolution, visible-light pictures of Jupiter ’s wound. One amateur astronomer ’s accidental discovery of the giant impact on Jupiter illustrates the need for more international vigilance regarding erratic, natural space objects grazing too near the Earth. More governments need to support deep sky observing programs that monitor Earth-approaching asteroids and comets. This writer believes climate change concerns pale when compared to the extinction threat of a massive asteroid blow to Earth. Even with that said, there’s no fleet of space arks planned, a la the 1950s sci-fi film “When Worlds Collide”, to evacuate essential human beings (you and me) off planet. What’s in the Sky: Aug. 12-13 is the projected peak of the 2009 annual Perseids Meteor Shower (up to 60 meteors per hour). The peak occurs Aug. 12 and ends Aug. 22. The radiant for the shower is the constellation Perseus. Look to the northeast starting midnight. Louis Varricchio, M.Sc., is a former NASA science writer. He is Vermont’s NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador and promotes public interest in space science and space exploration around the state.
Black swans and test scores
Aunt Laura air once red is now a color that’s hard to describe. Blue eyes are still blue, less blue, but blue, set past the brow, partially hidden back beneath the skull. Lips are surprisingly supple, kept moist with small but steady trickles of drool. Few teeth, more than you’d guess, and those that are, still set straight and strong. Ears oversized for a head that seems to have shrunk. The skin and tendons and fluids all withered. Do skulls shrink? Skin hangs taut topside of the biceps muscle, that is attached loosely by tendons to elbow and shoulder bones. Upper arm skin and muscles bow low, sway to and fro: Conjure a chicken wing you’d flick aside for lack of good flesh. Hands still grip with power, they feel and are made soft, tender, and smooth, by the type of persistent erosion that turns ledge to stone. Finger nails painted, look perfectly in their prime; they are ten little egomaniacs ready for the ultimate Homecoming Ball. Interesting information; fingernails continue to grow after death. Veins plump as Slim Jims run arbitrarily like rivers from the forearm to the tips of the fingers. Arms and hands tell the age and the story as much or more than the face. More. The arm is an old lady horror movie arm. It’s ultra defined. It’s freeze dried, shrink-wrapped. All its components are visible, which makes for an easy study. Arms are sexy, even these one hundred year old arms. The face, not so much. Below the neck, which resembles a turtle’s, a soft baby blue dress lies draped, unfulfilled, over a body that has worked fluidly and effectively for ninety-nine years. It can’t and won’t last much longer. The old body stroked, for-

Aunt Laura several times. She’s bushy tailed as can be. She jokes, laughs, charms, and she’s even taking nourishment in the form of ice cream and sweet drinks. Not the most nutrient rich diet, but what the hey, when you’re 99, who’s keeping track? How long can a human being last without a steady run of healthy fuel? Who knows? All I know is, if we give the human organism the slightest chance to survive, it will utilize our efforts to the nth degree. What a machine. I take that knowledge as a prompt to work hard and respect the body and soul I’ve been blessed with, with all my heart and soul, and to the best of my abilities. To give anything less than a supreme effort to maintain a healthy mind, body, and spirit, in my opinion, is down right rude. My effort has waned, too often, but never yet to a level where the cause is lost. Thank you, to whom, and or whatever, is responsible for life. Thank you, especially at this particular time, for giving Aunt Laura a beautiful and long life. A life that is quickly approaching its end—I think.

o the generation between World Wars I and II, “The Black Swan” was the title of a 1932 bestselling swashbuckling novel by author Rafael Sabatini; this book has lots of pirate and treasure ship action that still entertains today. Cutlasswielding actor Tyrone Power and fiesty actress Maureen O’Hara brought the book to life in the popular 1942 movie. Now that Tyrone Power et al. are nearly forgotten to the younger generation, “black swan” is known as a recent term in economics referring to a statistically-almost-impossible, but nevertheless actual event, such as the 1987 singleday-in-October stock market plunge (when there was a 23 percent drop in the Dow-Jones average). A 2007 book by Nassim Taleb describes the phenomenon in gory detail. Black swan events happen in politics as well—typically, when a speaker solidly identified with a given ideology (and its supporting sub-principles) suddenly gives voice to the opposite. Invariably, in the non-economic world, holding two conflicting ideas simultaneously receives the shrink-speak label of “cognitive dissonance”; the dictionary definition typically mentions the discomfort, anxiety, or mental tension in the mind of the holder. But what about those who hold conflicting notions simultaneously and with no apparent discomfort at all? Recently, I took note of the gentry-left exurbanites who are “into” (an overused, post-modern neologism) both smartgrowth—an urban-development pattern which looks upon traditional lawns and gardens as land-wasteful sprawl-causes—and grow-ityourself, which of course requires lot square footage for veggies or poultry-grazing or both. These exurbanites see no conflict between the two notions and give no indication of discomfort with them. Now, what about those in governance who, glibly, espouse concepts they more frequently oppose? Historically, such statements aren’t rare enough to be called black-swan events. Con-
sider, for example, the pro forma ‘I’ll keep us out of European wars’ promises of U.S. Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt or the “read my lips: no new taxes” pledge of President Bush I. As subsequent events showed, these men knew differently at speech-time, yet “cognitive dissonance” didn’t apply to them because they never even broke a sweat—either at pledge-time or at pledge-break-time. As highly-skilled politicians, Wilson, Roosevelt and Bush I could easily advocate for two conflicting concepts simultaneously. But then there’s the recent case with Vermont Education Commissioner Armando Vilaseca; he surely desires to be considered an educator and not a politician. A June 12 news item in the Barre Times-Argus newspaper described the black-swan event wherein the commissioner addressed yet another study group—labeled the Workforce Development Council. Vilaseca tossed out a few perennial educational-governance platitudes, such as “school district reorganization” ( the last reorganization, into supervisory unions, took place in 1912, and the rash of union high school construction took place in the 1950s and ’60s) and year-round schooling (the agricultural year is so, like, yesterday). Vilaseca also included this shocking black-swan pronouncement: “We don’t need as many teachers as we have now.” A charitable interpretation would be that he chose to misspeak. A few years ago, his predecessor, Richard Cate, had (far more typically) defended high teacher numbers on the grounds that the nation’s lowest class size had produced higher test scores (they didn’t and don’t, but that’s another set of facts usually left unrecited). No Vermont governor, and no state board of education, in recorded state history has ever advocated reducing teacher numbers; given the voting clout of the educator-bloc, it isn’t likely to do so, so it’s tempting to suggest that Vilaseca’s black-swan, “no-cognitive-dis-
sonance”, moment was a verbal anchor-to-windward in the unlikely event that overall voter resistance to rising school payrolls and spending (in times of ever-declining enrollment), might make staff reductions unavoidable. It hasn’t so far, which suggests that a taxpayer uprising in 2009 Vermont would be a black-swan moment in its own right. As such, Vilaseca’s one-timeonly teacher reduction-in-force proposal is right up there with Vermont’s socialist U.S. senator’s statistically-improbable feat of winning an NRA approval for some similarly unrepeated wink-to-supporters verbal gymnastics on the Second Amendment. Far more likely to be repeated is Vilaseca’s criticism of too numerous school-board members. “One school board member for every 70 students,” he complained, “indicates the scope of the problem.” Yes, indeed, from the educrat perspective, there’s too much local control out there. Conversely, about as non black swan as you can find are the statistics contained in the Wikipedia entry on Vermont’s educational standing and state ranking: “...Vermont was named the nation’s smartest state in 2005 and 2006… however, when allowance for race is considered, a 2007 U.S. government list of test scores shows Vermont white 4th graders performed twenty-fifth in the nation for reading [NAEP 229 of a perfect 500] and twenty-sixth for math [NAEP 247 of a perfect 500].” Such scores put Vermont halfway down the list of states test scores, not at the top.

Biologist to visit Hinesburg Bernd Heinrich is nature writer Author and biologist Bernd Heinrich will appear Aug. 14, 7:30 p.m., at the Carpenter Carse Library in Hinesburg. Henirich will discuss the book “Summer World”, a look at the diversity of at life during the summer season. Heinrich is a professor emeritus in the biology department at the University of Vermont and is the author of a number of books about nature writing, behavior, biology, ecology, and evolution. He has made major contributions to the study of insect physiology and behavior, as well as bird behavior. “An Amazon summer, as I experience it, is not just one time. In terms of living, it is a time of courting, birthing, foraging and feeding, avoiding being eaten, growing, and lastly preparing for winter,” said Heinrich. “Unlike in winter or life under severe desert conditions, nothing is static. Most of us live in a world where timing is everything. In Vermont and Maine, where I live, there is about a week to prepare the soil, another to plant the peas, another to put in the tomato plants. For information on the lecture, call the library at 482-2878. The event is free and open to the public. Heinrich’s books will be available for purchase at the event courtesy Brown Dog Books and Gifts. A book signing will follow the lecture.

Readers Poll Which source do you trust more for accurate international and national news? AREVADERCHE STEELE’S!—Steele’s Service Center, located at 83 Main St. in Middlebury—a downtown fixture for decades—was razed last week to make way for an approach to the new Cross Street Bridge. Main Street and bridge traffic will be routed through a rotary at the Steele’s site. While residents have voted down attempts to build a Middlebury Bypass since 1955, they recently approved the construction of the new downtown bridge that will manage an increasing volume of local commuter, college, commercial and tourist traffic.

Bristol’s misguided priorities
To the Editor: It’s falling on deft ears... the dire straights our economy is in. Just last week in Burlington, over 600 people signed up for 25 part-time jobs—at $ 11 per hour. Actually, just over 300 people showed up for the interview. That, my friends, is how desperate people are to find a job these days. Now back to the deft ears. Apparently the economic crisis hasn't reached the budget creators in Bristol. Both Mt. Abe School and Bristol town are raising our taxes between 5 and 6 percent. The school and town budgets should reflect bare bones necessity items. Let’s face it, in these economic times do we really need a pottery barn? Do we really need a full blown recreation department with a full time director and assistant? Do we really need a teen hangout where they get to play video games while the taxpayers struggle to put food on the table? Here’s a question for the town of Bristol budget makers and Mt. Abe budget makers: Exactly what have you done to reduce our budgets? Keeping the budgets at 'status quo' or raising them just doesn't cut it. here's another question: Why are these budgets immune from cuts? Please don't blame it on the voters. You are in control of what is put into these budgets and what should be taken out. Burt DeGraw Bristo
MUHS student gives praise in public
H
ats off to the young Middlebury Union High School Class of 2009 graduate who gave praise to Jesus Christ for her accomplishments at this year ’s commencement ceremony—hats off for declaring Him Lord and Savoir. All Christians should be proud of this young woman for speaking out so proudly on her faith and Lord. We did not know this young woman, yet she brought tears to our eyes, she made us proud. In this day and age when we are loosing so many of the rights and freedoms promised us by our Founding Fathers, she stood firm in her faith. We were given the right to freely speak out. This right was given to us by our nation’s 55 Founding Fathers. Many of who were theologians and pastors. Also, 52 of the 55 were members of orthodox Christian churches; they were Christians. America was founded on Biblical principles. Take a look at our nation’s Bill of Rights; Amendment I. No one has the right to take that freedom from us. No one has the right or prevent or prohibit Christians from speaking or practicing our faith anywhere, at anytime. This young graduate took advantage of that right. A right many are trying to take away from all Christians. A right we as Christians need and must keep! This is our right as free Americans. Our Nation was founded on Christ and the Holy Bible, with Christian and moral values. I realize many people disagree with that very idea, and claim to be offended by Christians expressing their belief and holding strong to the Lord. That is your right as non believers; but, may I suggest that you educate yourselves. Then make an educated decision based on facts. Eternity is forever. You have one chance to get it right, we all do, and there is no going back, no second chance. Are you willing to take the chance that you are right and all Christians are wrong, without learning everything you can? The proof, facts, and the evidence that the Holy Bible and Jesus Christ are true and a fact are there. For anyone willing to look, seek the truth and learn... Thank You graduate, God bless you!

GUESTVIEWPOINT
To the Editor: On July 15, the selectboard of Shoreham received a letter on the subject of allowing the people in Shoreham to vote to increase—from $10,000 to $40,000—the property tax exemption for their four qualified U.S. veterans. The writer wished to speak at the board meeting. The reply from the town clerk said that they “discussed” the writer ’s request and “they do not want to pursue any change in exemption at this time.” Why should Shoreham change the $10,000 exemption? Only 32 years passed since the town graciously gave veterans the exemption, now they are cheeky enough to ask for more. After all, we allowed them to serve. How stupid of them to become disabled, isn’t it damn ungrateful of them. The next thing they’ll want special seating at the Veteran’s Day Memorial. You know it never stops. Shame on Shoreham.

Readers Write: Stockpiling and Internet Coupon Fraud
I
t's time to answer some questions from readers like you who are learning to Super-Coupon: Q: I read your column about stockpiling groceries that you find on sale. How much do I need to buy at one time of something to stockpile it? I'm not comfortable doing bulk buying. A: "Stockpiling" is a term that many coupon enthusiasts By Jill Cataldo use to refer to the practice of buying ahead of schedule. When we stockpile, we attempt to beat the stores at their own pricing games by buying enough of an item to sustain our household's needs until the next time that item goes on sale. It doesn't necessarily refer to bulk buying but rather just buying more than you immediately need. If an item is nonperishable or has a long shelf life, buy as many of that item as you have coupons for. Add them to your stockpile, and use them over the next few weeks instead of running to the store for that item. Here's an example. If pasta sauce is on sale for $1.29, and I have six 75-cent coupons, I will buy six jars of sauce and pay just 54 cents a jar. While my immediate needs for this week's meal would only include one jar, the price of the pasta sauce will likely be back up to $2.99 next week. When I decide to make pasta again, I can go down to my pantry and get another jar, which I bought at 54 cents. I don't need to go to the grocery store and pay full price, because I bought a little more than I needed last week when it was on sale. When you think about doing this on a larger scale with everything we buy, it's easy to see how we can save in the long term. It's not bulk buying so much as it is buying just a little more than we need in the short term. You will become comfortable with "shopping at home" for those items from your own pantry versus running to the store and paying that higher price. Stockpiling teaches you to shop on a price-based basis versus a needs-based basis.
Coupon Queen
Q: One of my local grocery stores will not accept Internet coupons. Why wouldn't a store take them? Should I be wary of using them? A: While most stores accept Internet coupons, it's true that some do not. Counterfeit coupons have always been a problem for stores. With the advent of the Internet, new problems have arisen, especially when counterfeiters make realistic-looking coupons and post them online. If many people print and redeem the fake coupons, stores lose money because they cannot redeem the fakes with the manufacturer. To avoid these issues, some stores have issued a blanket No Internet Coupons policy. Do you need to be afraid of using Internet coupons? Not at all. There are hundreds of legitimate coupons available on the Internet every day. To know whether or not an Internet coupon is legitimate, look to see where the coupon originates. If it is posted on a manufacturer or store Web site, it's legitimate and perfectly fine to use. If it is posted on someone's personal site or a file-sharing site, you have no way to verify its origin, so you shouldn't use it. If you're looking on manufacturers' sites for coupons in the first place, you won't come across any coupons that are fraudulent. It's important to note, too, that you cannot make a photocopy of a coupon that you printed from the Internet, a common misconception among new coupon users. Some people assume that because it printed from their printer they can copy it and make as many as they would like. But can you copy a dollar bill? No. And you can't copy a coupon, either. Internet coupons have unique serial numbers and bar codes. While you might get away with passing photocopies at your store, your store will ultimately pay the price when they go to redeem them, since they'll only get credit for one coupon with that serial number. © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon-workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

Going solar in Vermont just got easier By Lisa Bates newmarketpress@denpubs.com Ronald Kohn started Solar Heat Vermont in Middlebury. It is a business that sells solar heat kits. A simple kit enables the buyer to build and install a passive solar panel without spending thousands of dollars. Inside each $85 solar kit are instructions, a parts list, an aluminum-mesh collector plate, vent templates, airflow flapper valves, fasteners, and hardware cloth. Also included are telephone and e-mail support from Solar Heat Vermont. According to Kohn, the purchaser will need to spend an additional $80 to $90 on framing lumber for installation. Kohn
believes his customers are any individuals interested in saving money on heat. Because his is an Internet-based company, he will sell to anyone interested in his product. When Kohn retired in 1998 and moved to Vermont, he had no idea he would be opening a new business. His company started at the result of an article he read in Mother Jones magazine about simple solar heaters. “I ran across a collectors design two years ago in December 2006 and I decided to build a simple solar heater. Before that solar designs were so complicated that there was no economic payback for going solar; it was more a status symbol. I was fascinated by this new ideal and I put one on my garage. I
couldn’t believe how efficient it was -- it blew out so much heat. I couldn’t believe that something so easy had made such a difference. I went out and tried to start a non profit. I did a couple demos but there was very little interest in doing it, perhaps because it wasn’t complicated enough. “ Interest in Kohn's business has been growing as fuel costs rise. He recently restarted his company as a sole proprietorship to take advantage of this growing market. Check it Out: Solar Heat Vermont is open for business Monday through Friday. Its URL is solarheatvermont.com; the e-mail address is FreeHeat@solarheatvermont.com. The telephone number is 349-5833.

Northlands plans Social pioneering Rokeby social Aug. 16 name change at Folklife Center For 30 years Northlands Job Corps Center has served economically disadvantaged youth in Vermont. According to federal data, an average of 450 youth benefit from the Vergennes-based program annually, which has included more than 13,500 youth educated and trained by Northlands Job Corps Center during the last 30 years. During the week of Aug. 12-14, the Northlands community will mark various events at the campus in Vergennes. Programs include a Youth Training and Placement workshop in Vermont, the Northlands Job Fair, and the annual graduation ceremony. The campus’ 30th graduation will be followed by a special rededication ceremony that will include the unveiling of a new name as well as changes to programs.
The Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury is pleased to present a lecture by author Greg Joly titled “Scott and Helen Nearing, Pikes Falls, and Social Pioneering,” Thursday, Aug. 6, at 7 p.m. Throughout the Great Depression such ruralist thinkers as Ralph Borsodi, Arthur E. Morgan, and Baker Brownell were writing on how to revitalize the rural-agrarian communities in the United States. The writers claimed that with the advent of 19th-century industrial capitalism came the decline of communal democratic structures based on local and regional mutual aid.

THE EAGLE - 11
The Obama-Kennedy Health Care reform change: "Americans are spending far too much for health care. That is because of waste and inefficiency among our health care providers. At the same time there are 45 million Americans without health insurance. Your government needs to wring the waste and inefficiency out of the system, curb unnecessary procedures and expenditures, promote behavioral changes to prevent illness, and use the savings to insure and where necessary subsidize the presently uninsured to. achieve universal coverage." The straightforward way to achieve this lofty goal is to install, as Great Britain and Canada have, a single payer system. Obama says this is what he would do if starting from scratch. Single payer means that all payments to medical providers for covered health care services are made by one single payer: the government, or one or more administrators contracted by the government. Everyone is included in the system. The funds required by that entity to make payments for services come from taxes. The government determines which medical services will be covered for which patients, how intensively they will be provided, and how much the providers will be reimbursed for providing those services. The government prohibits any private health insurance coverage for medical conditions covered by the single payer plan. Single payer systems rely upon the government's global budget to "control costs". The global budget attempts to match expenditures and revenues by directing providers to ration health care through postponement and denial of services, and by reducing government reimbursement to the "private" providers. Since 1965 the U.S. has had a mandatory single payer system for hospitalization and physician's services for over-65 seniors. It's called Medicare, and it's an inspiration for Obama and his allies. Participation is mandatory, because if you don't agree to accept Medicare, you can't collect your social security retirement checks. Medicare is now insolvent. Its hospitalization insurance fund will not be able to pay for services after 2017 unless new financing is found. Its projected unfunded liabilities (payments above revenues) between now and 2082 total $36 trillion. Medicare underpays physicians and hospitals. (So do Vermont's Catamount Health, which pays at Medicare rates, and Medicaid, which pays even less.) Obama and his allies are planning to finance much of their "reform" by further cutting payments to providers. But when Medicare payments are cut, providers contrive to do more billable services to keep up their revenue. So as underpayments increase, the government will have to force providers to ration care to hold down total payments, and penalize providers who earn too much. Underpayments by government health care programs are essentially a hidden tax on health care covered by private insurance. Because government underpays, providers overcharge private insurers to close the shortfall. This cost shift results in ever-higher insurance premiums, and struggling employers start thinking about simply dropping their employee coverage. This is not a workable model.
The Obama-Kennedy plan is not single payer, because it allows private insurance to continue (under federal regulation). But it contains a "public option" program designed like Medicare. This is supposed to provide competition with private insurers. Since the ultimate goal of Obama, Kennedy and their allies is single payer, it is perfectly clear that government benefits and favoritism enjoyed by the governmentsponsored "public option" plan will allow that plan to underprice its private competitors. Eventually employers will have no choice but to dump their employees into the government plan - even if they are charged a penalty for doing so. This is single payer on the installment plan. Obama recently remarked that "no one will take away" your current health plan, "no matter what". But a week later he amended that to say that the government won't take away your current plan - but you might lose your current plan because your employer, who owns your plan, might be forced to choose the cheaper "public option" plan. Obama and his allies also aim to solve the uninsured problem by mandating that every American enroll in a "qualified" insurance plan. Under the Obama-Kennedy bill, if you don't submit proof of enrollment, you'll be tracked down and fined until you do. The Obama-Kennedy plan would if enacted prove to have some annoying inconveniences, like rationing, waiting lines, maddening bureaucracies, penalties for non-enrollment, demoralized doctors and nurses, shabby facilities, obsolete technology, declining quality of care, and of course much higher taxation. But don't worry. President Obama and Sen. Kennedy can surely work those things out. John McClaughry is president of the Ethan Allen Institute in Vermont.

Sheldon Museum gets Magicians conservation help to perform Treasured objects and artifacts held by the Henry Sheldon Museum will be preserved for future generations with help from the IMLS Connecting to Collections Bookshelf, a core set of conservation books and online resources donated by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). IMLS has now awarded almost 3,000 free sets of the IMLS Bookshelf, in cooperation with the American Association for State and Local History. Mary Towle-Hilt, collections manager at the Sheldon, commented “This bookshelf award could not have come at a better time. We recently had a conservation assessment and these resources will assist in implementing the recommendations of that report. We will be updating our Emergency Plan, improving ceramics and painting storage areas, performing minor repairs on collections pieces and ultimately make our collection more accessible to the public.” The Sheldon Museum will receive this essential set of resources based on an application describing the needs and plans for the care of its collections. The IMLS Bookshelf is a crucial component of Connecting to Collections: A Call to Action, a conservation initiative that the Institute launched in 2006.

Nursing shortage pursists Results from studies of supply and demand for registered nurses in Vermont show several areas of significant improvement in longstanding nursing workforce shortages. But the stats released shouldn’t be taken as an indicator that there are not challenges ahead, said Mary Val Palumbo, director of the Office of Nursing Workforce at the University of Vermont. Results of nursing surveys conducted by the Office of Nursing Workforce, Research, Planning and Development show: A decline in vacancy rates for registered nurses in hospitals (12 percent to 6 percent), home health agencies (12 percent to 8 percent) and nursing homes (19 percent to 9 percent) from 2003 to 2007 as measured by the Health Workforce Assessment Survey. An increase in nursing graduates, from 128 in 2001 to 259 in 2006 (100 percent increase). Fewer nurses reported that they were likely to leave their positions due to retirement, despite an increase in nurses age 55-plus (34 percent of those likely to leave their position in 2003 compared with 18 percent recently). These figures come from an biennial voluntary survey mailed along with relicensure materials to 13,321 registered nurses in Vermont; and from the Vermont Health Workforce Assessment Survey, which was sent to top administrators in home health care agencies, long-term care facilities, hospitals and outpatient provider offices. Even in light of positive news of the nursing workforce, demographic trends are expected to exacerbate shortages in the near future. The mean age of registered nurses is 49, and 80 percent of RNs in Vermont are older than 40. At the same time these nurses will be retiring, the aging of the general Vermont population will create a stronger demand for nursing services. Current shortages are unevenly distributed, with certain specialties – including operating room and psychiatric RNs – experiencing workforce shortages that are higher than the mean. Further, fewer than 5 percent of RNs in Vermont have graduate degrees, which reduces the pool for filling nurse educator positions, and limits the ability for state programs to graduate enough nurses, particularly those with college degrees. “Even though we’ve made significant strides forward in the past couple of years, there is still much work to be done to attract enough qualified nurses to Vermont,” Palumbo said. “If we don’t continue to actively recruit and educate new nurses, and find ways to accommodate the changing needs of older nurses to keep them in the profession, Vermont will be facing a significant deficit in the nursing workforce in the years to come.” The Vermont Blue Ribbon Commission on Nursing identified the state nursing shortage and released a set of recommendations to alleviate it. Since that time, the state of Vermont, often in public/private partnerships, has focused on filling the holes, either current or expected, in health care employment shortfalls.
ROV From page 1 Samuel de Champlain and Henry Hudson will “meet” for the first time at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum— 400 years after their first exploration of the region. A life-sized puppet of Hudson is traveling from Albany, N.Y. in the company of Carol Margolis of the Albany Heritage Area Visitors Center while Champlain ‘s puppet will arrive in the company of Rebecca Goldberg of the Fletcher Free Library. The explorers will greet the public and are happy to share stories of their historic travels and recent adventures.

Photo exhibit to include Quadricentennial
Organic dairy farmers get help
Professional and amateur photographers are invited to submit work in color or black and white that reflects life on and around Lake Champlain for the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s “Annual Juried Photo Exhibit: Lake Champlain Through the Lens”. The exhibit will be on view at LCMM from Sept. 6 through Oct. 18. Categories include scenic, boats, people, pets, still life, nature and wildlife, and a special Quadricentennial category. Ready-to-hang entries can be delivered to the museum between 10 a.m.–5 p.m. from Aug. 8-16. A registration form and fee must accompany all
In recent months, the economic recession has created unprecedented challenges for Vermont’s 200 certified organic dairy farmers. After years of double-digit increases in consumer demand, reliable milk prices and impressive expansion in the number of organic dairy farms in Vermont, sales of organic dairy products nationally have decreased substantially. There is now an oversupply of organic milk in most markets. The two major wholesale buyers of Vermont’s organic milk, Horizon Organics and Organic Valley Cooperative have implemented mandatory milk price or production cuts to address financial and supply-demand imbalances.

For a large number of organic producers the milk check now falls well short of covering the high cost of purchased organic feeds and fixed costs of production. Especially hard hit are organic producers who are new to organic farming; many incurred significant debt in transitioning to certified organic production and are still working to refine organic grazing systems and animal management practices essential to profitable organic milk production. To date, one of Vermont’s certified dairy producers has sold the herd for financial reasons; two organic dairy producers have lost milk buyer contracts to produce organic milk. The coming months will be especially difficult for many organic producers until consumer demand for organic dairy products, and farm milk checks, recover. In 2009, as it does every year, NOFA Vermont’s Dairy and Livestock Technical Assistance Program offers services and workshops designed to help organic dairy producers improve their organic farm practices and income. On-farm consultation services include business planning, farm energy auditing and information about cost-cutting practices. NOFA Vermont’s Dairy and Livestock Program provides information about available low-cost loan and cost-sharing programs. Advanced technical workshops for organic farmers are regularly offered on all aspects of organic dairying, including milk quality, animal health and nutrition, grain and forage production, farm budgeting, pasture and grazing systems, on-farm composting and herd housing. A full series of summer workshops is planned. For more information about this summer ’s workshops and services offered by NOFA Vermont’s Dairy and Livestock Technical Assistance Program, visit NOFA Vermont’s webpage, www.nofavt.org, or call NOFA Vermont in Richmond at 244-6446.
