Driver dies in Rt. 7 crash Flatbed collides with tractor-trailer

HIGH-WIRE WALKER — A construction work walks along a crane arm at the Lake Champlain Bridge construction site last week. Work continues for the new bridge’s planned 2013 opening. Long lines of traffic greeted travelers Vermontbound last weekend. On busy summers weekends, traffic volume often exceeds the capacity of the temporary ferry boat route requiring up to an hour wait on the New York shore. Photo by Robin Knapp

North and southbound traffic on U.S. Route 7, just south of Middlebury, was routed along two-lane Halladay Road after a multi-truck crash closed the highway for several hours during mid afternoon Aug. 6. Edmund Young Sr., 57, of West Rutland died after his Ford flatbed stake truck plowed into the rear of a large tractor trailer rig on Route 7 at Cady Road near Foster Motors. Young worked for United Refrigeration and apparently had just completed work on a job in Burlington. The cab of Young’s truck was crushed by the impact. Young was carefully removed by Middlebury Fire Department firefighters after being trapped inside; crews made a valiant attempt to save his life. Young received CPR at the scene along with help from an Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association crew. A rescue helicopter at Dartmouth in New Hampshire but Young died before the aircraft was needed. Rushed to Porter Hospital around 4 p.m., Young was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital. Todd Hotchkiss, a manager at United Refrigeration, said the victim was among their best employees. At press time, it was uncertain what caused the crash. Although Penn Trucking tractor-trailer driver Richard Sunestrom, 52, of St. Albans, said he stopped on Route 7 to make a left turn onto Cady Road eastbound. Sunestrom was not hurt in the crash and appeared to be correctly signaling and slowing down for a left hand turn. Middlebury Police told news reporters that there were no indications that Young braked his truck before the accident.

During the week of Aug. 9, construction workers will continue paving which will affect traffic patterns on College Street and Main Street in downtown Middlebury. The work is centered on Academy Street and the parking lot at Cross and Main streets. The work is part of ongoing work on roadways associated with the new Cross Street Bridge. A finish course of asphalt and markings will be applied to Academy Street and Adjacent parking lot, according to Bill Finger town manager. As a result, Academy Street and the parking lot will be closed for the duration of the paving work. Finger said College Street will return temporarily to a two-way traffic pattern. “When curb work in front of the Counseling Service on Main Street is complete, two way traffic on South main Street will be restored,” Fin-

Middlebury’s Cross Street Bridge approaches, now under construction, will be professionally landscaped when completed. Work is ahead of schedule and will likely end before for the bridge’s planned Oct. 30 opening. Photo by Lou Varricchio

ger said in a memo. “Pay close attention to signs, cones and traffic controllers—what you encountered in the morning may have changed in the

afternoon. Our goal is to keep you moving. You can help, too. Please do not use cell phones. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.”

The town will celebrate the bridge opening Oct. 30 and will possibly include a fireworks display.

Keeywadin’s long summer On Aug. 18 at 7:30 p.m., the Henry Sheldon Museum presents a talk by Mike Vorenberg entitled “Waifs in the Wilderness: Keewaydin, Vermont Summer Camping, and a Century of American Childhood.” The talk is sure to bring back fond memories whether you were a camper at Keewaydin or experienced fun times at another summer camp. For more than 100 years, the woods of Vermont have been a summer home to thousands of young men and women who have traveled here to attend camp. As sites of intimate experiences with wilderness, character building, and just plain fun, summer camps have become some of the most important educational institutions in our society today. Mike Vorenberg, the author of the centennial history of Keewaydin on Lake Dunmore, will talk about the intertwined histories of summer camps such as Keewaydin and American youth in general. Using the rich photographic collections of the Sheldon Museum to illustrate his talk, he will discuss the ways in which summer camps in Addison County have shaped and been shaped by the region’s history. Mike Vorenberg is the author of two books on the American Civil War and, most recently, of Faithful and True: 100 Years at Keewaydin on Dunmore. He is an associate professor of history at Brown University in Providence, R.I., where

THE EAGLE - 3

When redcoats torched Addison County In 1777, Addison County—at that time a contested part of both New York and New Hampshire provinces— was “a nest of the greatest rebels in that part of the country,” when British forces led by Maj. Christopher Carleton invaded the area, determined to eliminate any possible supplies for rebel troops. Carleton’s 21-day expedition of 350 soldiers and 100 Indians, supported by naval vessels on the lake, proudly tallied up their success: crops destroyed, livestock slaughtered, barns and homesteads burned—nearly 100 structures and enough supplies to feed 12,000 men for four months. On Aug. 21 and 22, Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s “Rabble in Arms” weekend offers an insider ’s look at the experiences of British and Rebel combatants, and an average frontier family, during these volatile years of the American Revolution. With the defeat of General Burgoyne at Saratoga in 1777, the British feared a possible American counter-offensive from the Champlain Valley into Canada, and the following year Maj. Carleton, nephew of Canada’s Gov.-Gen. Sir Guy Carleton, led the invasion known as “Carleton’s Raids,” targeting homesteads in Addison County Vermont. To recreate these dramatic events, some of the re-enactors take British roles, and even LCMM’s venerable gunboat replica Philadelphia II will be transformed into the captured American gunboat Jersey, carrying British troops. On Saturday, the British troops will make landfall and establish a foothold at the museum’s North Harbor, defended by local militia. A homestead will be raided and put to the torch on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, the public can meet the re-enactors of both camps, before a final skirmish with the departing British troops. A further perspective on the Revolutionary War in the Champlain Valley is provided on Saturday at 1 p.m., when historians Paul Huey and Tom Barker, in Braunschweig Jaeger uniform, present the viewpoint of the Hessian troops in a special presentation “German Maps and Myths about the War for Independence.” Copies of their forthcoming book on the subject can be pre-ordered from the museum store. Food service for the event is available on-site, or receive a 20 percent discount the Red Mill Restaurant with your museum admission. Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, at 4472 Basin Harbor Road, is open daily from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. For more information see www.lcmm.org or call 802 475-2022.

When Addison County burned: Carleton’s Raid will be recreated Aug. 21-22.

Taxpayers tapped for broadband expansion It was promised more than 5 years ago—broadband everywhere in Vermont. But promises, especially when it comes to rural telecommunications, are rarely fulfilled. Now it looks like the promise may become a reality. The Vermont Telephone Company (VTel) received a U.S. Department of Agriculture rural broadband grant and loan award—funded by U.S. taxpayers—as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The total project cost will be more than $146 million including $30 million of private capital to be invested by VTel. VTel was awarded an approximately $82 million taxpayer grant and $35 million taxpayer loan to bring broadband service to more than 130,000 unserved and underserved Vermonters. VTel believes that this project, along with services already in place, will result in virtually all Vermonters having high quality broadband available. Moreover, because the

project uses 4G wireless technology, it is claimed that it will contribute to the improvement of cellular coverage in Vermont. This latest announcement comes on the heels of a recent broadband award for nearly $48 million to the Vermont Telecommunications Authority (VTA) and VTel to build-out middle-mile fiber and bring ultra high-speed broadband to “anchor” institutions throughout the state. Vermont electrical utilities were also awarded a nearly $60 million grant to achieve a statewide Smart Grid to help increase energy efficiency, promote renewable source of power and provide Vermonters with more information and control over how they use energy. The total stimulus broadband and smart grid awards to Vermont and Vermont companies are almost $250 million—critical capital funding that is needed to make the e-State a reality.

A new lifesaver at Branbury State Park

Vermont’s Chief Technology Officer Tom Evslin said that “despite the great recession (starting in 2009) which made private capital hard to come by, we have now obtained from state, federal, and private sources virtually all the capital we need to achieve our initial e-State goals and even more. We are funded to have the smartest electrical grid and best statewide communication capability in the nation.” In addition to these awards, state government is making additional investments to bring broadband to every corner of the state. The proposed “Backroads Broadband” program includes the legislature’s appropriated nearly $3 million to the program in the Vermont Governor ’s Jobs Bill last session. This program, along with additional support of the VTA, will help bring services to last mile customers.

Happy endings F

ormer U.S. Vice President Al Gore, he’s a rig, eh? You hear what’s up with him lately? He’s in trouble cause they say he was trying to get a masseuse to tinker around with him a little bit extra at the end of a $585.00 massage session somewhere way out west in a fancy hotel. Hey, Al Gore, you’re a Harvard grad, a lawyer. You were the second most powerful man on Earth for eight years. You won a Oscar, a Nobel prize for trying to single handedly save the planet from global warming. Now you’re telling me, Al, that you can’t negotiate yourself a happy ending? And that’s off a $580 massage? Not too clever, Al. I don’t know by what I might start to question whether you really invented the Internet. You outta move to Vermont, Al. Do you know, Al, up north of Newport I got three lesbian sisters to change the oil in my four-wheeler just by lending ‘em my Shaw’s card? Lawrence Taylor, Ben Roethlisberger, Hugh Grant, Al Gore, Elliot Spitzer—when are those guys going to figure out that if you’re rich and famous you can’t tinker-toy around with masseuses and strippers and prostitutes? Those girls see you coming guys. They sue you and go for the big pay day. Especially the American girls; they’re wicked smart; any of them kinda girls, I know, always told me they was taken the money I give ‘em and puttin’ it towards law school. Tell you what, fellers, come on up here to Vermont. I’ll take you to Canada, introduce you to some girls won’t tell on ya. Them Canadian girls don’t wanna wait to sue you for the big money ‘cause they need the money right off. Sure, it’s free health care up there, but gol darn gasoline is like six bucks a gallon in Montreal. And income tax is what up north? Half? Yeah, you guys should go north if you want to live out your boyhood dreams or grown man fantasies. The Canucks ‘ul treat you right. By the way, the charges on Al Gore brought by the masseuse were dropped. There’s a great chance Al actually slept through the entire massage and didn’t do anything offensive at all. But that’s my point: You’re Al Gore, naked, in a hotel room with only one other person and that person is rubbing you down with oil? Hey, Al, you’re asking for trouble! Not too smart Al—and here some of us thought you were. So, my invitation still stands, Al. Come hang with me in Montreal, you won’t believe the ladies they got up there.

Tapestry of death, part 1 “You will never convince some palaeontologists that an impact killed the dinosaurs unless you find a dinosaur skeleton with a crushed skull and a ring of iridium round the hole.”— Frank Kyte

his discussion about mass extinctions on Earth may not sound like a space-science related topic, but evidence has been mounting for several decades that points to a “cosmic” hand in some, perhaps all, of our planet’s megadeaths—so far. Since its final accretion four billion years ago, our planet has been rocked by five major extinctions. While these extinctions brought Earth’s biosphere to near collapse, life amazingly bounced back and continued on. Now a new, “sixth extinction” has been proposed by several respected scientists including biologist Edward O. Wilson and paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey. Hominid fossil-hunter Leakey—who wrote a thoughtful 1996 book titled “The Sixth Extinction” with science writer Roger Lewin—and others contend that the Earth is in the midst of another great die off of life; humans may be among the victims. Of this proposed “sixth extinction”, Dr. Leakey said, “For the sake of argument, let's assume the number (of species becoming extinct) is 50,000 a year. Whatever way you look at it, we're destroying the Earth at a rate comparable with the impact of a giant asteroid slamming into the planet, or even a shower of vast heavenly bodies.” We’ll leave the “sixth extinction” debate to others and instead look at prehistoric extinction events 1 through 5 to see if there’s a cosmic thread in Earth’s ancient tapestry of death: •Extinction 1—known as the Cambrian–Ordovician Extinction Event—occurred 488 million years B.C. It marked the demise of the great Cambrian Explosion of life. In geological terms, the Cambrian Period is the first geo period of the long Paleozoic Era. The Cambrian lasted from 542 million years ago to 488 million years or so ago. This first planetwide extinction occurred at the close of the Cambrian about 100 million years after the first plantewide explosion of sea life. Evolution was a speed demon back in the early Cambrian. All kinds of sea life—in the forms of crablike trilobites, bivalve brachiopods, and other critters—expanded and filled the shallows. This is beautifully described in the 1989 award-winning science book “Wonderful Life” by the late geo scientist Stephen Jay Gould. As far as we know, no living thing yet occupied the Earth’s barren supercontinents of Gondwanaland and Laurentia (although it’s suspected microbes were already breaking down terrestrial shield rocks). So what caused this great explosion of “Wonderful

Life”? Well, paleontolgists guess that environment, oxygen and climate played big roles. Ocean temperatures and oxygenation were ideal for life. But then something mysterious occurred and crashed the system. By Lou Varricchio There’s some evidence that a global ice age at the end of the Cambrian may have chilled the seas and reduced the oxygen content of the water. But what caused the ice age? Here are a few suggestions offered: cosmic impact (asteroid, comet or NEO swarm), climate change, supervolcanism, gamma ray bursts, plate tectonics—or maybe a combination of some, or all, of the above. Not satisfied with such vagueness in the physical sciences? Well, think about today’s climate change/global warming tussle; there’s just no consensus regarding the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction. •Extinction 2—known as Ordovician-Silurian Extinction—occurred about 444 million years B.C. This extinction may actually have been a series of events. No matter, it was the second greatest of the five extinction events on Earth. Again, sea life was affected, and again the event(s) ushered in a deep ice age. Gone was the “greenhouse” Earth of the warm Ordovician Period. Atmospheric CO 2 crashed, too, and with it went many species. Cosmic or terrestrial agent to blame? It’s still a mystery. •Extinction 3—known as the Late Devonian Extinction—happened about 364 million years B.C. The bio marker of this event is the great die off of the agnathan or jawless fishes that filled the Devonian seas. But there was land life, too, with the first primitive forests (the Gilboa, N.Y., tree fossils mentioned here a few weeks ago), insects and lungfishes. Again, everything from cosmic impact to climate change are blamed, but there’s no definitive smoking gun. Next week: Extinctions 4 and 5 and cosmic agents of change. What’s in the Sky: On Aug. 10, the Moon is at perigee, the point where our natural satellite’s orbit is closest to Earth.

Seeing

Stars

Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., was a science writer at the NASA Ames Research Center. He is a NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador in Vermont and is the recipient of the U.S. Civil Air Patrol’s Brigadier General Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager Aerospace Education Achievement Award. His second book, “Seeing Stars”, an illustrated collection of his newspaper columns, will be published next year.

Howling wilderness, reprised and earmarked

hanks to the Internet, basic research is now so easy that even a caveman can do it. Thus, this troglodyte was able to determine that the phrase “howling wilderness” comes from the Bible, specifically Deuteronomy XXXII-10, and that since then it’s been applied to a number of places, among them northern New England, and specifically to that part of the region traversed by Benedict Arnold’s army in the course of his unsuccessful assault on Quebec. There’s a book by that name: “Through a Howling Wilderness, Benedict Arnold’s March to Quebec, 1775” by one Thomas desJardin, which describes in some detail the Maine woods as Arnold’s army struggled through it (them?) not unlike Roger ’s Rangers’ struggles through the Vermont woods 16 years earlier as his troops returned south from their 1759 St. Francis raid, a story vividly told in the 1940 movie, Northwest Passage. In subsequent decades that same countryside was cleared for farmland and villages (in the late 19th century it was 80 percent cleared, and now it’s the other way, about 80 percent wooded) in non-professionally-regulated patterns of land use, sub-division, urbanization, and development, which proved to be so attractive to vacationing urbanites that they began moving in as soon as the railroads were put in through and suitably up-scale accommodations built and staffed. They and their peer-groups haven’t stopped since. Now the descendants of those early inmigrants, as well as new ones in sufficient numbers to create a dominant political majority, want to re-create as much as possible of Roger ’s and Arnold’s howling wilderness by taking land out of use and back into forests. Of course, the paper and lumber industries have been doing just that for more than a century, buying up woods and abandoned farms for forestry purposes, but it has been with their own nickel, and for actual –ugh—commercial use. The new forestry/wilderness initiative is typically conceived by the Beautiful People who aggressively advocate this sort of “re-wilding” (their phrase, not mine) and prefer using OPM, Other Peoples’ Money, rather than their own, and so it’s perhaps not surprising that you’ll find an earmark for this purpose inside the recent Farm Bill (silly you, thinking that the Farm Bill was about pricing structures for farm commodities), inserted there by Vermont’s own Senator Patrick Leahy, “to create and include the new Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program in the 2008 Farm Bill”. The quote comes from a laudatory press release by a national advocacy group calling itself “The Trust for Public

Land”. Whether this sort of thing ought to be tacked onto a Farm Bill (in my opinion, as befits an opinion column) I’d say is highly challengeable; whether it ought to be called an “earmark”, with all the pejorative overtones which accompany that word, I’d say “yes” but I offer the following Office of Management & Budget definition for you to decide for yourself. Here’s what the OMB says: “Earmarks are funds provided by the Congress for projects or programs where the Congressional direction (in bill or report language) circumvents the merit-based or competitive allocation process, or specifies the location or recipient, or otherwise curtails the ability of the Executive Branch to properly manage funds”. The nominal purpose of this earmark may well be to recreate at least a little of the “howling wilderness” experienced by the troops under Roger ’s and Arnold’s commands, but a closer read of the press release suggests a more pressing agenda: development prevention. Consider, for example, this quote, which views with alarm the prospect of “500,000 acres of private forestland considered at extreme risk for development in and around Vermont’s Green Mountain National Forest” by 2030. As a counterpoint, consider this quote from Robert Bruegman’s 2005 book Sprawl: A Compact History, to be found on page 57. It speaks of “affluent citizens”, those whom I more crudely described above as the Beautiful People, who “have found that they can use zoning ordinances, historic preservation measures, environmental regulations, and other means to resist continued change, to control the appearance and character of their neighborhoods, and stop densities from rising”. Further into the book (page 151) he writes of the “obvious class bias in these judgments” and a bit further (page 162) he writes of such already-in-place folks doing so for “personal advantage” and refers to them as “the incumbents’ club”. There’s more but I must stop here; my editor forbids me to sprawl over more column-inches.

Mellow Yellow in Vergennes On Aug. 21, the Vergennes Opera House will host the Mellow Yellow Experience, a musical theater show that transports audience members back to the time when the Baby Boomers were coming of age. The show features live music, dancers, outrageous costumes and a stunning multi-media video light show. The social and political upheaval of the late sixties had a major influence on popular music—and politcis—that still resonates with some today. The anti-Vietnam War leftist protests are remembered in the Neil Young anthem, "Ohio", performed along with archival footage of the Kent State protests and President Nixon's reaction. "Space Oddity" by David Bowie is paired with images of the Apollo missions and the first lunar landing. Psychedelic songs like "White Rabbit" are performed with an authentic recreation of the liquid light shows originally seen at the Fillmore West and Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. The doors open at 7:00 and the show starts at 7:30. Tickets are $13 in advance and $18.00 the day of the show, and are available at Vergennes Opera House or Classic Stitching, Main St., Vergennes.

Reduced to a single lane, delays and speed restrictions are in force as miles of the road are being repaved. Alternative routes over the Green Mountain range are encouraged. The highway, known as Middlebury Gap Road, was protected in 1987 under the Vermont Scenic Roads Law. The road meanders along the Middlebury River Gorge through the Green Mountain National Forest.

6 - THE EAGLE

SATURDAY August 14, 2010

Quenneville triumphs at Devil’s Bowl Vince Quennevile Jr. got to experience the thrill of victory Sunday night at Devil's Bowl Speedway, while defending track champion Ken Tremont Jr. found out just how bad the agony of defeat can be. Quenneville came off the front row and dominated the competition to get his first victory of the season in the 30lap feature at Devil's Bowl. Quenneville had a little tougher time adjusting to the new asphalt surface this season, and struggled early in the year. But he picked up the pace in July, finishing second to Tremont on July 11 and hitting the top five again a week later. But on Sunday, no one was going to catch him. The real battle was for second between Mike Bruno and Tim Laduc. Bruno tracked Laduc for most of the feature, and with six laps to go, Bruno thought he had an opening. But when he made his move, Laduc tried to slam the door, causing both cars to slide high. Marc Johnson and Don Scarborough took advantage of the mistake, with Johnson going on to finish second, and Scarborough getting third. Bruno gathered his car in quickly and hung on for fourth, with Laduc fifth. On the same day that Tiger Woods completed the worst 54-hole score of his professional career at the Bridgestone In-

vitational, Tremont had one of his worst nights ever at the Bowl. He arrived late because of engine problems, and never got the problem straightened out. By the end of the 30-lap feature, had had been lapped twice and finished ninth. Don Miller chalked up his seventh win of the season in the sportsman feature. A heat race mishap kept Jared McMahon, Jack Swinton and Joey Trudeau in the pits for the rest of the night, depleting the field for the feature. Josh Joseph had the early lead, but had his hands full with Hunter Bates. The complexion of the race changed midway through the feature, as Miller used a three-wide move on a restart to get around Bates. Three laps later, Miller had the lead and he went on to record his fourth straight win. Bates was second, while Andy Durie, who had made an early pit stop, charged back up to third. Jon Miller was also on top of his game, overpowering the field in the Renegade feature for his sixth win of the season, and Chad Brown came away with win No. 7 in the Bomber Warrior feature. Devil's Bowl also had an enduro on Sunday, with Brett Wood taking the checkered flag ahead of Charles Bradford and Adam Sears in a wild finish in the 60-lapper. Devil's Bowl will return to action Aug. 15., with Kids'

Night No. 2 The highlight of the racing program will be the 50-lap Renegade Roundup, a challenge race for drivers from Devil's Bowl, Albany-Saratoga Speedway and Airborne Speedway that will pay $500 to win.

The racing card will also include the fourth race of the ProStock/Super Street Challenge, and there will also be a drivers' autograph session as part on Kids' Night.

The Tri -Valley Cats swept the Lake Monsters in a brief two game set played in New York Aug. 2 and Aug. 3. The Monsters then returned home Aug. 4 where they lost the opening game of a three game series against the Auburn Doubledays 6-3. Following that game Vermont fell to 25 - 20 on the year, and their lead over the Connecticut Tigers in the New York - Penn League’s Stedlar division had shrunk to a mere half game. Tri-City scored seven runs in the bottom of the third inning as the ValleyCats opened the two-game series with a 10-1 victory Aug. 2 at Bruno Stadium. Jacke Healey led off the third with his fourth home run of the season for the first run of the game. The Valley Cats scored another run on a bases loaded sacrifice fly before a Michael Kvasnicka two-run single and a throwing error by centerfielder Connor Rowe gave Tri-Cit a 5-0 lead. David Adamson capped off the inning with a two-run homer, his

fourth of season, for a seven-run lead. The ValleyCats added another run in the fourth on a Wilson Infante leadoff triple and Ben Orloff RBI single. Enrique Hernandez led off the seventh with a triple and scoree on a RBI single from Tyler Burnett, who later scored on a Wilson Eusebio wild pitch. The Lake Monsters were able to avert the shutout with a run in the ninth inning. Hendry Jimenez led off with a single, moved to second on a walk and scored on a Ronnie LaBrie RBI single. It was the second hit of the night for LaBrie and also his team-leading 27th RBI on the season. Vermont starter Taylor Jordan (1-2) allowed seven runs on seven hits over three innings for the loss, while Eusebio three runs on five hits over 3 1/3 innings. Kevin Cahill gave up two hits, but all five outs were recorded by strikeout. Jake Buchanan (3-2) gave up just two hits with a walk and three strikeouts over six innings for the win. Six different ValleyCats had two hits as Tri-City collected 14 hits in the game. After Vermont shutout Tri-City in three straight games June 28-30, the ValleyCats have won their last three games against the Lake Monsters and have scored 28 runs in three wins. The Tri-City Valley Cats completed the two-game sweep and moved to five games behind first-place Vermont with a 5-3 New York-Penn League victory over the Lake Monsters on Tuesday night, August 3rd at Bruno Stadium. Tri-City jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead as Ben Orloff led off the bottom of the first with a double and scored on a Kike Hernandez RBI single. Vermont tied the game in the second on Justin Miller's second home run of the season, but the ValleyCats regained the lead in third on a Ben Heath sacrifice fly scoring Hernandez. Vermont again tied the game in the fourth on as David Freitas led off with a double and scored on a Ronnie LaBrie RBI single, but Tri-City scored two runs in the bottom of the inning to take the lead for good. Adam Bailey led off with a double and scored as Lake Monster starting pitcher Chris McKenzie threw a Jacke Healey sacrifice bunt past LaBrie at first base for an error. Healey scored later in the inning on a Orloff RBI single for a 4-2 lead. The Lake Monsters got one of the runs back in the fifth on a Freitas RBI groundout, but Tyler Burnett restored the lead back to two with a solo homer in the seventh inning off reliever Glenn Gibson. Vermont went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position, including 0-for-2 in the eighth after a Wade Moore one-out double. Hernandez and Burnett both went 2-for-4 with a run and RBI for Tri-City (20-24), which each of its last four meetings

against the Lake Monsters. Murillo Gouvea (1-3) allowed one run on three hits over 2 2/3 innings of relief for the victory, while Jorge De Leon tossed a scoreless ninth for his fourth save. Freitas, Miller and Blake Kelso each had two hits for the Lake Monsters, while Moore's eighth-inning double extended his current hitting streak to seven games. McKenzie (1-2) was charged with four runs (three earned) on seven hits in four innings for the loss, while Mark Herrera gave up one hit and recorded all four outs in his 1 1/3 innings by strikeout. Marcus Knecht went 2-for-5 with three RBIs, including a two-run single in the fifth inning to give the Doubledays the lead for good, as Auburn beat the Vermont Lake Monsters 63 in New York-Penn League action Aug. 4t to open up a three game series at historic Centennial Field. The Doubledays trailed 1-0 when they scored three runs on just one hit in the fifth inning. Vermont starter Chad Jenkins, who had allowed two hits and two walks in the first four innings, lost the strike zone in the fifth as he allowed a run on three walks and a hit batter. Reliever Neil Holland then came in for Jenkins and Knecht promptly smacked a line drive single to center to score two runs for a 3-1 Auburn lead. Auburn increased the lead to 5-1 with solo homers in the sixth from Jack Murphy and eighth from Knecht, then added another run in the eighth on a Gustavo Pierre sacrifice fly for a five-run lead. Those runs would prove important for the Doubleday as Vermont, which had just one run on two hits over the first eight innings, rallied in the ninth inning for two runs and had the winning run at the plate when the game ended. Pinch hitter Russell Moldenhauer, playing in his first game for Vermont since July 15, lined a one-out double to left and then after a Jason Martinson infield single, David Freitas smacked a two-run double to right-center to cut the deficit to 6-3. After a fly out for the second out, Ronnie LaBrie and Kevin Keyes both walked to bring the winning run to the plate, but Wilfri Pena struck out swinging to end the game. Auburn starter Jesse Hernandez (2-3) allowed just one run on one hit with one walk and six strikeouts over six innings for the victory, while Zach Anderson came on in relief to strikeout Pena to end the game and earn his second save for the Doubledays. Jenkins (2-3) allowed three runs on two hits with six walks over 4 2/3 innings for the loss, while Blake Kelso had Vermont's only hit over the first seven innings with a leadoff triple in the fourth. Kelso scored on a sac fly from Freitas, who had all three Vermont RBI in the game. The loss was the third straight for Vermont and ninth in the last 11 games, while also the first loss for the Lake Monsters in the first game of their six home stands so far this season.

THE EAGLE - 7

Guest Viewpoint

The irony in Pocock the beach and playgrounds, etc. Last week, we decided to drive up to the Bristol park so the children could swing and run off some energy (every grandparent knows that expending energy is a great relaxant for both the children and ourselves). So, we arrive at the park for recreation and relaxation and peace and quiet was nowhere to be found. The dirt, dust and grime and the noise from the ground sewer construction was just terrible! I guess the environmental commission must have approved this project, too. However, if they did, they failed to reject it on the basis that it would be; “A detriment to public health, a concern for neighborhood safety, and a general welfare hazard to the immediate public.” The grandchildren spent about 20 minutes playing in park before they came running up to me asking, “Can we go home where it’s quiet?” I could feel their disappointment. I could feel the grime on myself and our clothes carried the fumes of engine combustion so bad that I washed them as soon as I got home. In summary, I have one thing to say to our neighbors residing in the village: “Living as close to gravel extracting operations as we do, we can tell you without a doubt, that any impact from the proposed Lathrop pit will never come close to the adverse and unhealthy environmental exposure that you have faced every day this summer. Martin Thompson South Bristol

Facing up to the fiscal storm G

eorge Washington once observed that "We should avoid ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burdens that we ourselves ought to bear." The fiscal facts contained in the Congressional Budget Office's long-term budget outlook, released last month, would leave the normally unflappable Washington appalled. Just to set the stage: we have an accumulated federal budget debt approaching $15 trillion. That's staggering, but it is small compared to the additional $47 trillion in unfunded liabilities for benefit programs, notably social security and Medicare. The respected and nonpartisan CBO presents two scenarios. The first, called "extended baseline", assumes that current law taxing and spending will continue. This assumes that Federal deficits (this year: $1.47 trillion, 9.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product) will drop down to around 2 percent of GDP by 2014, then rise steadily to over 4 percent in 2035. For this to be remotely realistic, the Bush tax rate cuts of 2001 and 2003 will be allowed to expire at the end of this year, not just for "the rich", but for all taxpayers. The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) comes roaring back to plague upper middle-income taxpayers. Compensation of physicians providing Medicare services will be slashed 20 percent. The new ObamaCare Independent Payment Advisory Board will get tough on wasting Medicare dollars on sick people who are, in the government's view, well over the hill.

You say the American people will never let their Congress allow those bad things to happen? The CBO agrees, and thus presents an "alternative scenario" that is more politically realistic. CBO's "alternative scenario" assumes that most of the Bush tax rate cuts will continue, taxpayer resistance will block ever more "soak the rich" schemes, the Medicare doctors and hospitals will get paid quite a bit more, and the outcry over Medicare "death panels" will block those expected savings. By 2035, under this scenario, federal spending would account for almost a third of the U.S. economy, and federal debt held by the public will have risen from the present 60% of GDP to an astounding 185 percent. But wait. It gets worse. When the government pays its bills by borrowing, the funds it borrows "crowd out" productive private investment. CBO projected that federal debt would increase to 188% of GDP by 2027. The CBO's model gave up at 2027 because the curve was heading straight up.

And don't forget the tax dollars required to pay the interest on federal debt. At the present $15 trillion debt level and 3% average yield, we will pay on the order of $450 billion next year to service the debt. That annual burden will triple by 2027. David Walker CPA served for ten years as the U.S. Comptroller General. There is probably no one person in the country who has a better grip on what these fiscal facts mean for Americans, especially the younger generations. In his new book Comeback America, Walker writes "if we don't wake up, the next crisis could be much worse. What if we went into it with even greater budget and current accounts deficits? These measures [interest rate cuts, bailouts, stimulus spending] worked this time because the world still trusts in the strength of the dollar and the safety of U.S. bonds. But what if trust in the United States erodes? In that dismal event, our economy would face skyrocketing interest rates at best, and at worst a flight from the dollar to the euro or the yen. If that happens, farewell to America as the world's economic powerhouse." David Walker will speak at an Ethan Allen Institute program at the Sheraton Burlington Thursday, Aug. 19, from 9-noon. His topic is the subtitle to his book: "Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility". Vermonters concerned about the fiscal storm facing their children and grandchildren in the years ahead may want to attend.

Tractor accident survivor To the editor: Having a 4000 lb. tractor run over your back, from hip to shoulder, can change your health and your awareness of the past. It can also make you wonder what your future may be. This happened to me five days before turning age 75. I have noted recently that forgetting things has been quite easy and frequent. When I tried to stop the tractor from rolling down hill, forgetting that the left hand brake didn’t work, led to the rolling rear tire catching my belt and throwing me in front of the tire where it then ran over me. This 1941 John Deere B—which has done most of the mowing on the farm since about 1960—rolled down the hill until the cow barn stopped it. If an old cat has nine lives, I may have used six with three to go. Between bulls and tractors, my back has now been broken in five places. I’m certainly not bragging, just telling the story hoping to maybe make someone else think about possible consequences when you forget. Having once been an early (EMT) trainee—member of the Bridport-Addison First Response Squad—I have been on a few calls over the years. Some were at locations where the Bridport and Addison fire departments and Middlebury ambulance squad were present. Having been out of the group for many years, it was gratifying to meet up with them in my farm driveway. A large heartfelt thanks go out to the Town Line First Response Squad. Bridport Fire Dept. and Middlebury MVAA volunteer ambulance squad and my wife, Pat, who first found me; my daughter Cindy Myrick, who got things rolling; and neighbor, Barb Wagner, who came crosslots quickly. Sincere thanks again. Kent Wright Bridport

he saga of the Lathrop family’s plan for gravel extraction continues while a much larger cloud umbrellas Bristol village without any serious uproar or complaints by affected neighbors. It has been reported that the District 9 Environmental Commission has denied the Act 250 permit which would have granted the Lathrops their right to proceed with gravel extraction plans. But hold it—it was not the District 9 Commission denying the act 250 permit, it was actually the “District 1 Environmental commission”. Almost shadows the politics surrounding much larger, and far more hazardous environmental floods and spills in our country, doesn’t it? We live on Route 116 in South Bristol and our home is directly across the highway from the Rathbun gravel extraction operation. We have lived here for over 40 years and have especially enjoyed the quiet country atmosphere. Even though we are very close to the gravel operations we cannot pinpoint any time that the noise of blasting or rock crushing has affected our “public health, safety, or general welfare”. Our lives have not been adversely impacted by any detrimental visual impact, odors or noise. We have never encountered problems entering or exiting our drive due to gravel truck traffic. Now, on to the nitty-gritty of the irony in Pocock— Being retired I have the pleasure of spending a lot of time with my wonderful grandchildren and taking them to

This year’s Addison COunty Fair and Field Days event includes a variety of agriculture shows and midway attractions. Photo by J. Kirk Edwards

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com August is time for Vermont’s largest agricultural fair— Addison County Fair and Field Days. This year ’s fair, Aug. 10-14, is an annual affair and the keystone event held at the fairgrounds in New Haven. It boasts literally something for everyone, of all ages. This year ’s event includes a variety of ag shows and midway attractions—amusements, cattle, horse, goat, miniature donkey and sheep shows; tractor pulls, ox, pony and horse pulling; extensive antique exhibit, children’s barnyard, live entertainment, parade, demo derbies, free youth activities, arm wrestling and a Vermont products dinner. Originally held in downtown Middlebury off Court Street, at a fairgrounds and racetrack site now occupied by Maru Hogan Elementary School, Addison County’s summer fair grew in fits and starts. Field days events were held at various farms around the area but the event grew faster than most farmers cared to deal with. A new site was purchased in New Haven in the shadow of Rattlesnake Mountain and this is history. The 2010 fair and field days kicked off with a parade at 8 p.m. Aug. 10. Superintendents Benj Deppman and Diane Norris said this year ’s parade theme was“Go Local!” with several prizes (names not available at press time). Look for The Eagle’s annual fair and field days book, a guide to all the fun and activities at the fairgrounds this week.

Below is a list of daily activities to set your watch by through Aug. 14: 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Children’s Barnyard Open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. 4-H & Youth Building Open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Antique Equipment Building Open 9 a.m.- 9 p.m. Maple Sugar House Open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Twist O’ Wool Guild Demos (Twist O’ Wool Guild tent) 10 a.m.- Forest Festival Exhibits & Demonstrations (forest tent) 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Home & Garden Building Open with continuous craft demos 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Lucien Paquette Exhibit Building Open 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Maple Products Demonstrations (maple sugar house) 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Bingo Daily Noon-midnight Midway Open (approximately) 1-4 p.m. Milking Parlor Demonstrations 1-6: p.m. Cairo Northern Clowns (walk around entertainment) Please Note: Most exhibits will be removed on Saturday night at 10 p.m.

On Aug. 2, Thomas Kollmer, a 46-year-old Hinesburg resident went hiking with two friends—Sarah Brancatella and Stephen Carroll—on Hunger Mountain in the Green Mountains. Kollmer became tired during the hike and asked his friends to go ahead. A short time later, hikers Alyssa Stankiewicz and Jacob Hurd-Burnell found the male unresponsive on the side of the trail about a mile from the summit. The hikers called 911 and initiated CPR. Brancatella and Carroll returned and assisted with CPR. All four continued CPR until Vermont State Police arrived on scene and pronounced Kollmer deceased. Kollmer was transported off the mountain by several back country Rescue squads. He was transported to a medical examiner for an autopsy. At this time, there is nothing suspicious with the male’s death.

THE EAGLE - 11

Fungus on veggies—again The fungus-like organism that wreaked havoc with tomatoes and potatoes last year is back again this summer in Vermont. Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen causing Late Blight of tomatoes and potatoes, was identified at last week’s UVM Plant Diagnostic Clinic on tomato foliage from two different Vermont backyard gardens. It is assumed the disease originated from infected volunteer potatoes in the area. Although the disease can infect tomatillos, peppers, eggplant, petunias and other members of the potato family, we have seen the disease in the past couple of years in Vermont only on tomato and potato. The symptoms of late blight start on tomato and potato leaves as nickel sized water soaked spots. These spots do not typically start at the bottom of the plant like the other fungal blights. Under moist conditions whitish gray fungal growth can be seen on the leaf undersides. If the weather is wet or if there are morning fogs or lots of dew, the spots will spread rapidly throughout the plant in a matter of days. Stems and fruit can also be infected with the disease. Infected tomato fruit develop large brown areas. If plants are infected, the unaffected fruit on plants can be safely eaten but should not be canned. Hot dry weather can slow the spread of the disease but with rainy weather or heavy dews, fungicides are needed for protection. Homeowners can apply a garden fungicide labeled for tomato or potato use that contains the active ingredient chlorothalonil.
