Train depot is getting the full treatment By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Middlebury’s circa 1891 passenger depot on Seymour Street is getting a major facelift. The historic structure was purchased by Steve Dupoise, owner of Trackside Depot LLC and County Tire, in August 2009 when the previous owner, an auto parts retailer, relocated to Exchange Street. “It’s a classic structure,” said Dupoise, “and we’re renovating it to rent as retail and office space.” Dupoise is including renovations to the train station’s second-floor tower room which was long closed and off limits to tenants until now. In the days of passenger train service to Middlebury, a station master could look north and south, up and down the tracks, for approaching train traffic. “It’s an ideal pace for a downtown business,” Dupoise added. “We’re spending a lot of money to return this building to its proud appearance.” Dupoise’s new business venture, Trackside
Farmer Leo Lamoureux and his family of Whiting’s Ladja Farm stand by their work horse “Here’s the Beef”, a Ford 9000 tractor, at Addison County Fair and Field Days. The tractor performed well at field days pulling several tons. “Having a good time is our best payoff,” said Leo.

Ancient tools from Vermont’s oldest campground
Paleo-Indian artifacts similar to types discovered in Jamaica State park and the Rutland area recently. By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Jamaica State Park may be the oldest campground in Vermont—literally. It’s a campground that has been hosting Vermonters for more than 6,000 years. While digging test pits for a new waste water system in the state park last month, workers accidentally dredged up 70-80 ancient artifacts near the park’s popular Salmon Hole site.

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Three generations of the farming Lamoureux family of the Ladja Farm in Whiting have enjoyed the fun and thrills of competition at the annual Addison County Fair and Field Days tractor pull event at the New Haven fairgrounds. Patriarch Leo Lamoureux began the tradition in 1971 with a 105 hp Ford 8000 tractor—the same year Leo and his wife Arlene purchased the farm. Now daughter Lee Lamoureux and grandson Tyler continue the tradition of driving the very same tractor Leo introduced at the 1972 fair—”Here’s the Beef”, a 130 hp 1972 Ford 9000, named in honor of an old Wendy’s Restaurant T.V. commercial. “The old man got tired,” said Leo with a big smile. “This young fellow, my grandson, wants to keep it going. Being able to do this thing together, as a family, is wonderful. But I think Tyler ’s going to be paying for tractor fuel this year.” Leo’s wife Arlene approves of the family fun and acts as de facto “promoter” for the tractor team. And when he’s not doing farm chores or driving “Here’s the Beef”, Tyler is
spinning disks as D.J. at the field days karaoke happenings. Leo, who was born in Ontario, Canada, arrived in Vermont as an infant. He performed all the tractor maintenance at the barn in Whiting to get ready for Aug. 13. Tyler repainted the tractor in preparation for last week’s fair. Boxes of trophies—dating back to the early 1970s—accompany the tractor, so it has become a legendary machine on the pulling circuit. After a hiatus of 18 years, the family is back pulling together. The Ladja 9000 tractor, purchased at Champlain Valley Equipment in Middlebury, is a stock rig and not quite an antique. At the Aug. 13 event, all three Lamoureux family members climbed aboard the Ford 9000 and competed in various pull demonstrations. Tractors haul a specially constructed transfer-weight sled that bears an increasingly heavy load of weights that go up to 50 tons. “Here’s the Beef” performed well, especially by bearing the yoke of a multi-ton weight across a dirt track 300 feet in length. “We really don’t do much to prefer for this,” said Lee. “but it starts about one week before field days. It was a rush deal. We tuned it, washed it, repainted it with tradi-
tional, original Ford Blue paint. We put tire shine on it, too. She looks real nice. Of course there’s money and trophies for the competition,” said Lee, “but that’s not the point—it’s really all about fun.” Leo pointed out that “Here’s the Beef” is a working rig with over 12,000 hours on the instrument panel. “It’s not too many hours for this vintage tractor,” he said. “We have several tractors on the farm but this is our workhorse—and she’s still running and working hard.” After a full day of inhaling diesel fumes and enduring high decibel noise, the Lamoureux family will return to the relative quiet of the Ladja Farm and their 120 head of dairy cows. Tyler, who started pulling with a Cub Cadet, starts up the tractor and it clears itself with a throaty roar through the stack. A dark cloud erupts and drifts off over the fairgrounds. We wondered why the Lamoureux family would endure all the chaos, noise, dirt and diesel fumes of a tractor-pull event. Aside from a trophy and cash prize, what’s the payoff? “Having a good time is our best payoff,” Leo said.

Farmers’ market report reveals continuing success Editor’s Note: This is part of a summer-long series on Vermont farmers markets around our region. A new report released by the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont reveals that Vermont’s farmers’ markets continue to thrive, providing substantial support to the state’s vibrant agricultural economy. There are currently more than 80 farmers’ markets in Vermont, 30 of which accept EBT (food assistance benefits) and debit cards. This report was released during the 10th annual National Farmers’ Market Week last week.

NOFA-Vt. will be celebrating National Farmers’ Market Week with a film contest and the second annual Pizza to the People tour, bringing woodfired pizza to farmers’ markets across the state. These events are part of a larger national celebration, a context in which Vermont’s farmers’ markets shine. “Vermont has been a leader when it comes to connecting farmers and consumers,” says Vermont Secretary of Agriculture, Roger Allbee. “Vermont has more farmers’ markets per capita than any other state and we are always looking for ways to support farmers’ markets, CSAs, farm stands and other initiatives that link farmers and consumers. I call this a renais-

sance of the past – people want to know where their food comes from, how it is grown and who grows it. National Farmer’s Market Week is a wonderful way to acknowledge the important work our farmers do and most importantly the food they provide for us.” The NOFA-VT report, which compiled data from voluntary surveys completed by farmers’ market managers, highlights the considerable economic contributions that markets provide to Vermont. “Gross sales receipts totaled nearly $7 million for 2009,” said Jean Hamilton, Direct Marketing Coordinator for NOFA-Vt. “Most of the markets reported that over half of their sales came from agricultural products, which we found traveled an average of only 20 miles

Veterans from World War II and the Korean War returned to their communities holding their pain and sorrow inside, yet they managed to set high standards for the rest of us. On Sept. 5, the Robert L. Johnson VFW Post 771 of Springfield and the White River VFW Post 2571 are hosting a World War II and Korean War Veterans Reunion Day. The posts are inviting veterans statewide from Vermont and New Hampshire from the 1940-1953 generation. The posts hope to draw largely from veterans in Windsor and Rutland counties and beyond. The day will include food, entertainment, guest speakers and story-takers to collect any experiences the veterans will share. Entertainment will include an accordion player and audio records devoted to music of that era. In preparing for this event, volunteers are collecting period items and pictures to be displayed. In addition, two masseuses have volunteered their services. Organizers are striving to make this a day of appreciation for local veterans. If you are a veteran of either of these eras, this day is set aside for you. Let the VFW community thank you properly for your service to country.

from the point of production – the farm – to the point of sale – the market.” All but seven of the markets collecting gross sales data reported significant increases in processed food sales, indicating a growing market for locally processed foods as well. “All of these factors suggest that farmers’ markets are an excellent way to support Vermont’s economy by buying local food,” Hamilton said. The report also calls attention to the challenges that farmers’ markets face as they grow. Many emphasized the lack of adequate infrastructure, such as parking and overall market space, along with difficulties creating marketing campaigns to attract the attention of additional local consumers.

Playing Champlain 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. In 2009, Thompson became a familiar face to thousands of tourists—and residents of Vermont, New York and Quebec— portraying the bold French explorer Samuel de Champlain. Last year marked the 400th anniversary of Champlain’s visit to the great freshwater lake that now bears his name, Lake Champlain. 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 America’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 master’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. “I love local history,” Thompson said. “Where ever I live, I want to know about the area, so I’ve spent a lot of time studying and understanding the past on a local level.” According to a Florida news article, “Thompson 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 firstperson school programs on railroad baron Henry B. Plant and Andrew Carnegie.”

Gov. Jim Douglas announced the allocation of $1.8 million in tax credits for 19 Vermont communities to assist in the renovation or repair of buildings in downtowns and village centers last week. Middlebury’s former passenger train depot being renvated by Steve Dupoise’s Trackside Depot LLC, received $42,992 in funds. “These tax credits not only help invigorate the local economy, they help prevent devastating fires in our downtowns,” Douglas said. “In addition to supporting the redevelopment of older and historic buildings, these credits encourage the installation of sprinklers, elevators and other safety upgrades.” The state tax credit program is available to older and historic buildings in designated downtowns and village centers, and is designed to work with the federal tax credit program to leverage a combined state-federal credit valued between 30 and 40 percent of eligible expenses. The federal credits not only benefit the user, they boost state revenues from taxes on wages generated by new jobs and on sales of goods and services. “These projects help revitalize Vermont’s downtowns and village centers as well as preserve Vermont's historic buildings,” Douglas noted. “ To date, 23 downtowns and 99 village centers are designated and all older and historic buildings in these designated areas are eligible for these investment incentives. To become a Designated Down town, communities must have both a downtown revitalization organization and demonstrate their commitment and capacity to support such a program, as well as meet several other requirements. Village Centers go through a similar, but abbreviated process. Designated communities become eligible to compete for funding for building rehabilitation and safety improvements, and transportation projects. Middlebury was the only Addison County municipality to receive the funds.
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 “innovative teaching in creating a simulated archaeological dig activity for his students”. And the reenactor has participated in digs at Rogers Island, N.Y., and Vermont’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. “Few people realize just how far and wide Champlain explored in the Northeast,” Thompson said. “He 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 years—even in the far West. I believe Champlain probably converted from Protestantism to Catholicism after being in the New World a few years.” 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. “My wife Carol and I just wrote a book, titled “Seeking the Northwest Passage: The Explorations and Discoveries of Champlain and Hudson”, which examines the Northwest Passage dreams of these men. They were fascinating, colorful people.” The couple’s Northwest Passage book was published in 2008

A window on summer
T
his is it. This is the time before it’s too late to do summer stuff—right now! Boom—that was it, that was the time—there—it just passed, it’s officially too late to do summer stuff. But if you’re clever and quick acting, you still have a small, small window to... Go to Thunder Road. It’s a great paved oval stock car racetrack, boasting a fantastically run program, with dedicated drivers, crew members - and the families of, set within a natural scenic bowl-like location. There are special event races through early October, but the summer season of Thursday night races is just about done. So hurry. And by the way, all you rich, snooty liberals and conservatives: the working class folks you’re going to gawk at would marvel at you, too, if you stood out. Hike a mountain, fast. Sure, you may have hiked a mountain this summer, but you may not have hiked it fast. You should, now, because the mountain will beat you down; you’ll realize how out of good health you are. Then you’ll have an entire year to get in shape for your next summer’s “Summer of Hikes”. You think spring is the best time to clean your crib? It’s not. Late summer nights are. Late summer days kayaking, or canoeing, hiking or playing ball will boost your energy so that you can carry it well through the evening and into the early morning. Trust me. Do something active all day, in the Sun—near the water—then come home and see if I ain’t right. You’ll want to keep on going. Winter housework? Nah. Spring-cleaning? Nah. Those seasons, especially in good ol’ Vermont, can kick your butt. Clean the heck out of your house from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Summer’s when to get things done. Because you’ve but a closing window on summer stuff to do, the above suggestions are all I’ll offer you. I don’t have time to write more cause I’m trying to fill my closing window with summer stuff. Oh, I will add that you should visit Montgomery, Vt. Montgomery is near Richford. Richford is on the border, so Montgomery is up there. Routes 118, 58 and 242 peg it. Like all good Vermont towns, Montgomery has a sister town, Montgomery Center. So with your closing window, add Montgomery to the list. I could tell you about each Montgomery, but then there’d be no reason to visit. I will say that while sitting on the corner for 20 minutes I was greeted by local elementary school kids on bikes, men on big tractors, a dude on a scooter, walkers, bikers, a Baptist minister, and a stray dog. (I’d bet they were all related, too.) When I first pulled into town I walked to a parked car whose driver was an 80-year-old gentleman. I asked him if he could tell me where I could find a covered bridge. “There’s supposed to be eight of them in this town,” he said. So, when you find a town where the locals are completely unimpressed by what many towns would brag about, you know you’ve found a solid place. Well, maybe the old gentleman didn’t brag cause if he was to brag about all the classic Vermonty things Montgomery has to offer, he’d a never made it to bed that night. Yup, add Montgomery and Montgomery Center to your remaining window of summer; you’ll no doubt be happy you did, especially if you eat there. I had the best turkey club sandwich I’ve had in my life a joint in one of the two Montgomerys. I’m not saying which Montgomery or at what restaurant ‘cause that would take the fun out of it for you. And I’m all about you having fun. Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly. He can be reached at rustyd@pshift.com.

Tapestry of death, part 2 L
ast week, we looked at prehistory’s five great extinction events and suggested that extraterrestrial sources may be the binding threads in our planet’s violent tapestry of death. We briefly outlined extinction events 1 through 4. This week, we conclude with extinctions 4 and 5. Are there any cosmic smoking guns here? •Extinction 4—The Triassic–Jurassic extinction event occurred 205 million years ago. At the T-J boundary, nearly 48 percent of all zoological and botanical genera—terrestrial and marine life—went extinct. Most archosaurs—except the lucky dinosaurs— and most therapsids, which include mammals and their immediate evolutionary ancestors, died out. Even many large amphibians became extinct. The result opened up the environment to the surviving dinosaurs. (Of course, the dinosaurs own turn to face the Darwinian firing squad will come at extinction 5.) Only a few large amphibians emerged from extinction 4 and managed to survive, barely, into the Cretaceous. For example, the giant, lumbering amphibian known as Koolasuchus—one of the paleo stars of the 1999 BBC-TV mini-series “Walking with Dinosaurs”—became the lone survivor of the now utterly vanished biological order Temnospondyli. As with earlier extinctions, an extraterrestrial agent may have had a hand in the T-J megadeaths, but we’re not 100 percent certain. Could the giant, 62-mile-wide ring-like Manicouagan Reservoir feature in central Quebec be the smoking gun? Maybe, but it’s a big maybe. The now highly eroded, water-filled impact basin probably was excavated by a rocky asteroid three miles in diameter. The scale of the Manicouagan impact should have produced planetwide fires and dust clouds with impact debris raining down for thousands of square miles. Yet, many researchers now believe the crater was formed 12 million years before extinction 4. Ok, if Manicougan isn’t the culprit, then why didn’t planetwide extinctions occur at the time of that impact? More geological investigations are needed. •Extinction 5—the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event, occurred 70 to 65 million years ago and is the most famous extinction—it ushered in the death of the beloved dinosaurs. “About 17 percent of all families, 50 percent of all genera and 75 percent of species went extinct,” according to
author Michael Benton. “It ended the reign of dinosaurs and opened the way for mammals and birds to become the dominant land vertebrates. In the seas it reduced the percentage of sessile animals to about 33 percent.” Benton notes that the K-T extinction (“K” is from the German word Kreidezeit or Cretaceous; “T” means Tertiary) was uneven—”Some By Lou Varricchio groups of organisms became extinct, some suffered heavy losses and some appear to have been only minimally affected.” Most space scientists agree that the K–T extinctions were caused by a massive asteroid impact (like the Chicxulub, Mexico, impact), while many geologists believe volcanic activity—such as at the supervolcanic Deccan traps in India—is to blame. Both an impact and supervolcanic event would reduce solar energy falling to Earth and slow down photosynthesis. A few paleontologists even suggest that the extinction was far more gradual due to a drop in sea level or a cooling down of the climate. But a cosmic agent—an asteroid or comet impact—looks more and more likely at the K-T boundary. In fact, on March 4 of this year, a panel of 41 international scientists agreed that the Chicxulub impact caused this mass extinction. We’ll end with this warning and call-to-action by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of New York’s Hayden Planetarium: “If humans one day become extinct from a catastrophic collision, there would be no greater tragedy in the history of life in the universe. Not because we lacked the brain power to protect ourselves but because we lacked the foresight. The dominant species that replaces us in post-apocalyptic Earth just might wonder, as they gaze upon our mounted skeletons in their natural history museums, why large headed Homo sapiens fared no better than the proverbially peabrained dinosaurs.”

Appalachia’s north end S
eparated by some 850 miles are two high schools, each in the foothills of a different region of the Appalachian Mountain range. One school is a nominally-private academy in Manchester, Vt. It accepts, on tuition (in fact depends for survival on them) the 91 percent of its student body which has transferred in from local public grade schools in the surrounding, mostly intra-county, area. The other school is a typical public high school in Erwin, Tenn. It receives its students from the surrounding intracounty area also. Nearby hill color differentiation (one called the Green Mountains the other called the Blue Ridge) and latitudinal separation notwithstanding (7 degrees, Burr & Burton Academy at about 43 degrees N and Unicoi County HS at about 36 degrees N) the two schools aren’t much different in their student bodies—small-town teenage Americans—or their achievement levels or their racial make-up. Where they differ, markedly, is in their governance. One, in the county named in the English language for 18th century New Hampshire land-grantor Benning Wentworth, has just raised its tuition charges 6 percent, more than twice the less-than-3 percent statewide school budget increase. No mention in the various news accounts of student achievement or the productivity trends at BBA. Related factoids: from the 2008 National Digest of Educational Statistics, you can read that average pupil-teacher ratio in Vermont is 1-to-10.8 and annual per-pupil cost $13.5K. The other, in the county named in the Cherokee language for the nearby sometimes-called-smoky mountaintop haze, has just petitioned Tennessee state government for higher K-12 academic standards. No mention in the various news accounts of any (beyond the basic inflation rate) budget change. Related factoids: NDES Table 66 shows the TN p/t ratio at 1-to-15.7 and Table 182 shows the annual per-pupil cost at $7.7K. Like Bennington County and all of Vermont, Unicoi County, Tenn., is, at 98 percent, statistically all white for NDES purposes, which shows in Table 121 that the U.S. fourth grade average reading score is 220 overall and 230 for whites (out of 500) with Vermont at 228 (229w) and Tennessee at 216 (224w) while Utah, with the largest p/t ratio in the nation at 1to-22.1, and a resulting annual per-pupil cost of $6.7K, comes in at 221 (226w). The “proficiency” percentages by race aren’t shown, but all are well below 50 percent and at about 30% when you do your own adjustment. For example, the Vermont (w) average score is a point or two below the US(w) average, but the Vermont total at 41 percent “proficient” with a score of 228 is 9 points above the US to-
tal at 32 percent “proficient” with a score of 220. The NDES doesn’t show 8th grade reading breakdowns for smaller schools like BBA or UHS, nor does it show breakdowns by race, but the overall State scores come in at 261 for the US, 273 for VT, 259 for TN, and a very-interesting 282 for UT. Clearly, the typical educrat small-classes-produce-better-achievement argument isn’t working too well in the “Industry” or “Beehive” State, which also posts the highest “proficiency” number at 42 percent and at the lowest annual-per-pupil cost. At the state level, there’s another similarity: both Vermont and Tennessee have been sufficiently uncomfortable with their students’ scores on the Federal NAEP tests, which are “free”, that they’ve gone out into the publishing market to purchase and deploy and publicize the ‘results’ from, easier tests which are sold on the promise that students will show better scores: NECAP for Vermont, TCAP for Tennessee. But there the similarity ends, at least at the county level. Consider, for example, how the local governance of high school education in Bennington County has chosen a quite-different focus of attention than those similarly entrusted in Unicoi County. If you accept the proposal that BBA is probably pretty typical of Vermont’s schools, and UHS equally so in Tennessee, then maybe you’ll accept the printed fact that they reflect an achievement difference of only 5 points out of 229 or a near-statistically-insignificant 2 percent. With such similarity at the student level, whence cometh the vast difference in governance focus? That the BBA Trustees are pursuing more money, while the UHS Commissioners are pursuing more achievement, is obvious; but the underlying why isn’t. It’s tempting to argue that east-of-the-Appalachians Vermont is in general more gentrified by suburbanite in-migration than west-of-the-Appalachians Tennessee; and that Bennington County in Vermont is even more so, with Unicoi County even less so, and then drawing the usual Jeffersonian conclusions therefrom. Or maybe there’s another reason. I report, you opine. Former Vermont architect Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.

Lots of fun at Addison County Fair & Field Days
By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com The 2010 Addison County Fair and Field Days is in the history book now. This year ’s fair saw several record attendance days plus an increase in attendance at various agricultural events including 4-H Club shows and the demolition derby. Blessed with fair weather and plenty of fair food to consume, fairgoers lingered to enjoy exhibits, antique displays, midway attractions and rides, and plenty of games and toys for the youngsters. We’ll leave you with a few photographs that capture the daytime magic of field days: Amanda Thomas of Orwell shaving her cow in advance of 4-H competition, Robert Lubofsky of A&R t-shirts and bike stuff, the staff of Bill’s BBQ stand, and Angie Faulkner with Donna Smith of Brandon displaying their highly detailed crochet and embroidery work—and much more. See you next year at field days! Photos by Lou Varricchio

Bristol Police
To the editor: More or less cops in Bristol? Recently, a Bristol policeman, Brian Fox, left the police force for a different/better job. Good luck to Brian...he was/is a good cop. That brings the Bristol police force down to 4 policeman. There is a debate as to whether to hire another cop. Is there that much 'crime' in Bristol that it needs 4 cops? Let me put a few things on the table to think about. The village of Bristol is about 1 square mile with a population of about 1,500(?). I had the pleasure of spending 1 week in a small town about the size of Bristol in south-east Montana this past summer. Being a curious individual, I started asking some questions. It turns out that this town in Montana has one cop. They do not own a radar gun. The do not give out parking tickets. They don't go around rattling business doors after closing to find something to do. It seems that the voters decided they do not want their police force wasting their time/money just 'existing'. They hired their policeman to do real police work. And believe me, this town is not rampant with crime. One facet of this town I found 'refreshing'. When this cop did arrested someone for breaking the law....the perpetrator knew he was in trouble. You see in Montana when you receive a 'sentence' of 30, 60, whatever, days in jail. That's exactly what you serve. There was one young man who was caught driving with a suspended drivers license. He received a fine and 30 days in jail (first offense). Period. In Vermont, that same person would have been released with conditions and if convicted the 30 days in jail would have been suspended. If you look at the day in court in any of our local papers you will see that 90 percent of all sentences are suspended. So where is the actual penalty? Where is the 'fear' factor for the criminals? They know that Vermont is so linient that they can just walk away from court. Me thinks it is time for cops to do real police work and for judges to actually impose penalties that will act as a deterent for criminals. Burt DeGraw Bristol
To the editor: Amazing. Here is a quote from Dave Sharpe (one of our so-called representatives): “I guess you will have to curtail your vacation to Montana next year to pay your taxes.” On July 20, I was in the Bristol town offices reviewing some pictures with Bill Bryant that I had taken while on vacation I Montana a few weeks ago. Dave Sharpe was there & asked me how it was going. I replied: horrible, my taxes are going through the roof. Hence, Dave's quote. Now let me get this straight, I worked hard and paid taxes for the last 44 years and I am supposed to curtail my vacations so that Dave the other politicians can squander my money on give away programs to people who don't want to work? Rather than Dave cut the budget they just keep on spending. I don't know about you folks but I think it is time for a changing of the reps. In addition, I pointed out to Dave that in this small town that I vacationed at (about the size of Bristol) the total taxes on a home my size is $ 2,114. In Bristol. my total taxes are $ 7,300. Yes, Montana has great schools—and Bristol? Why it's rated as one of the ten worst in the state. Oh, and Montana does not have a sales tax. Hello? This town I am talking about is not in east bum-shoe either, it is located about 1 hour from the capital, Helena. Why do I say people who don't want to work? Here is a question for our reps. Why is it that Mexican workers (legal and illegal) can find work on day one of looking? Yet, there are thousands of people on welfare and unemployment roles in Vermont who can't find work? Take a walk around Middlebury and count the number of businesses that have help wanted signs in their windows. Burt DeGraw Bristol

The irony in Pocock T
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 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.

esponding to support and advocacy from local political and business leaders and the Vermont Rail Action Network, the Vermont Agency of Transportation again submitted an application for federal funds to upgrade the "Western Corridor" between Rutland and Burlington and extend the Ethan Allen through Middlebury to Union Station in downtown Burlington. The state had the benefit of feedback from the Federal Railroad Administration, which is responsible for awarding the funds. Because of this feedback, the application includes money to improve highway grade crossings the length of the route. The route was recognized by the legislature as the priority rail route in Vermont for investment. This is as strong an application as we could make and the local match shows the state's commitment. We appreciate the work of the rail program and the entire Agency of Transportation. There is strong political support for this project and it is important for the state." The federal government will cover 80 percent of the cost of the work, almost $60 million. The state will put up a local match which will be covered by $15 million in bonding, which is a lot for Vermont, which has a relatively small transportation budget and bonding capacity. In order to include highway crossing upgrades and remain within budget, work in New York State east of Whitehall NY and work on bridges was removed from the application. Bridges on the line, which are owned and maintained by the state, are safe but in poor condition after many years of lack of investment (just like highways). Because of the bridge condition, freight cars cannot be fully loaded, which puts Vermont at an economic disadvantage and raises the cost of fuel in the state (trains bring the gas and heating oil). While improving the line would make it easier for future commuter service to begin, this project is aimed at the Burlington-Middlebury to New York market, via Albany. The train will leave Burlington in the morning and return from New York in the afternoon. Top speed will be 59 mph. Welded rail will replace the old jointed rail. Grants are supposed to be awarded at the end of September, although given that this is a tight timeframe, it would not be surprising if the process took longer.

More hydroelectricity in Vermont’s future Vermont’s two largest utilities and HQ Energy Services (U.S.), a subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, signed today a 26year contract that will provide renewable low-emission energy. The contract, announced at a news conference attended by Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas and Québec Premier Jean Charest, was hailed by utilities and officials from both governments. “Our strong relationship with our friends in Québec is vital to the economic well-being of Vermont. This agreement will help ensure a clean competitively priced energy future for Vermonters,” Douglas said. “It will provide stable renewable power at a competitive price for 26 years, starting in 2012, and will help Vermont’s power supply remain arguably the nation’s cleanest. Green Mountain Power (GMP) and Central Vermont Public Service (CVPS) have negotiated an agreement that will benefit customers well beyond their service territories, for which I am most grateful.” “Following the Vermont legislature's recognition of the renewable nature of hydroelectricity, regardless of the capacity of the power plants that produce it, this agreement marks an important milestone in Québec and Vermont's ongoing leadership in the fight against climate change,” said Charest. "For years to come, Québec will maintain an important customer relationship for one of its most valuable exports: hydroelectricity. This win-win agreement will create revenues for Québec, contributing to the affluence of its population and to the reduction of public debt. And thanks to our decades-long energy partnership, Vermonters will continue to benefit from a reliable, renewable low-emitting
energy source.” Under the agreement, which will now go to the Vermont Public Service Board for review, Vermont will purchase up to 225 megawatts of energy, predominantly hydroelectricity, from HQ Energy Services (U.S.) (HQUS) starting in November 2012 and ending in 2038. HQUS markets electricity from Hydro-Québec's generating fleet, whose output is 98% hydroelectric. The agreement includes a price-smoothing mechanism that will shield customers from volatile market prices. The price will start at approximately six cents per kilowatt hour. The final price for deliveries starting in 2012 will be set in December 2010. In addition, HQUS and the Vermont utilities will share any future revenues related to environmental attributes. Other Vermont utilities have identified the amounts of power that they intend to buy under this agreement, which was negotiated by CVPS and GMP on their behalf. They will also be participating in the review process before the Vermont Public Service Board. “The agreement will ensure that the cost of this renewable power from Québec remains linked to sustained market prices over time, while ironing out the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows,” CVPS President Bob Young and GMP President Mary Powell said in a joint statement. “The price will be tied to inflation and electricity market price indexes, ensuring we avoid price spikes, and it will begin at a rate comparable to what we pay HydroQuébec today. This market-following component of the price will also benefit our customers by adjusting downward in the event that future power market prices decline. Overall, we believe it is an attractive deal for Vermont, and
are pleased to include other Vermont utilities as well.” “We are very pleased to continue providing Vermonters with reliable renewable low-emitting energy,” said Thierry Vandal of Hydro-Québec. “With this agreement, Vermonters are helping ensure that they maintain their commitment to renewable energy and minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Like all successful longstanding relationships, ours continues to be mutually rewarding.” Young, who recently announced plans to retire next May, said completing the contract was one of his top goals for his final year at CVPS. “We have made tremendous environmental gains over the past decade, and this agreement will provide long-lasting environmental benefits, especially compared to other baseload alternatives, which are more expensive and would result in significant air and greenhouse gas effects,” Young said. “At GMP, a key part of our energy strategy has been to pursue a broader partnership with HQUS and lock in longterm supplies with low economic and environmental costs,” Powell said. “Today we can proudly say we have achieved that goal. This will serve our customers well.” Vermont has purchased energy from Québec for decades. In the early 1980s, the first longer-term power deals were established. The current Vermont-Hydro-Québec contract, which was signed on December 4, 1987, phases out largely in 2016. The current contract has proven to be a sound agreement for Vermont, helping GMP and CVPS maintain clean portfolios and rates that are among the lowest in New England. The energy contract was negotiated by Central Vermont Public Service (NYSE-CV), Green Mountain Power and H.Q. Energy Services (U.S.) Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hydro-Quebec. The other Vermont utilities that have confirmed their intent to purchase energy under this agreement are Vermont Public Power Supply Authority, Vermont Electric Cooperative Inc., Vermont Marble Power Division of Omya Industries Inc., the Town of Stowe Electric Department and the Burlington Electric Department.

What lies beneath the lake? Not too far from downtown Vergennes you’ll find Lake Champlain. The Otter Creek has been a waterway linking the Little City to the big lake. Along with the waterway comes sightings of a strange denzien of the deep. Champ the lake monster embodies the mysteries, wonders and importance of the Lake and the creatures that may or may not live within. The fact that we do not know whether Champ exists, means there is still an undiscovered and protected portion of the Lake left to discover. Perhaps most importantly, Champ helps educate the public about this beautiful place and gives us all a reason to sit quietly by the Lake and ponder what lies beneath. What is Champ—a dinosaur, a plesiosaur, a whale? Part of believing that Champ exists means you need to have a fairly good explanation for what he might be. Theories abound. One theory suggests that Champ is a dinosaur that managed to escape extinction and lives on in Lake Champlain. Another suggests that the creatures could be surviving zeuglodons, a primitive form of whale with a long snake like body. These creatures have been thought to be long extinct, however fossils of them have been found a few miles form Lake Champlain in Charlotte. Champ might also be a Lake Sturgeon. There are sturgeon in Lake Champlain and they can grow to great lengths. They are a very old, almost prehistoric fish with a scale-less body that is supported by a partially cartilaginous skeleton along with rows of scutes. Its single dorsal fin, running along its spine, would match many descriptions of Champ, although its sharp, shark-like tail would not. Another theory is that Champ could be related to a plesiosaur. A plesiosaur is a prehistoric water dwelling reptile (not a dinosaur) with a long snakelike head and four large flippers. Plesiosaurs loved fish and other aquatic animals. Scientists date the plesiosaur to the Triassic period, 200 million years ago, through the Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago (when all dinosaurs are thought to have gone extinct). It would take approximately 50 mature Champs, at the least, to have a breeding popula-
tion of Champs in the Lake and 500 to keep the species alive in the long term. While the numbers are daunting, Lake Champlain does provide an ideal habitat for such a creature. The Lake is 120 miles long, 400 feet deep in places and home to a diverse population of birds and aquatic life which would be more than enough to sustain the belly of this great beast. Additionally, the lake, in its present form, has been around quite awhile — around 10,000 years. There have been at least 300 reported unexplained sightings of Champ over the years' There is no certainty when the first sighting of Champ was; however, the creature was depicted by Native Americans. It was said that Samuel de Champlain saw Champ in 1609. This claim that he spot-
ted a “strange monster” has been traced by historians to actually have occurred in the St. Lawrence estuary however. In 1819 in Port Henry, N.Y., a railroad crew reported to have spotted a “head of an enormous serpent sticking out of the water and approaching them from the opposite shore.” Around the time of this sighting, farmers nearby claimed to have missing livestock, with drag marks leading to the shore. There was also an an early Champ sighting reported in the New York Times in 1873. There is now a website dedicated to recording Champ sightings. To learn more about specific sightings at Champ Quest.com. Special thanks to the Lake Champlain Land Trust

Vermont wants uniform food labeling Vermont Attorney General William H. Sorrell and the attorneys general of 11 other states last week urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to adopt a uniform nutritional label for the front of food packages, to ensure that consumers have access to easily understandable and fully transparent information on how healthy the products actually are. “Consumers should have clear information to make healthy food choices,” said Sorrell. The position of the attorneys general was set out in comments filed with the FDA in connection with that agency’s proposal to establish a national front-of-package food labeling program. They are consistent with preliminary recommendations from Sorrell’s personal focus on obesity in Vermont. Some have criticized Sorrell for using his A.G. authority to advocate a concern that’s unrelated to the primary mission of the state’s office. The comments follow a multistate investigation into the Smart Choices Program, which permitted manufacturers to brand with a favorable checkmark symbol foods that were nutritionally questionable, such as breakfast cereals containing 12 grams of sugar per serving, or about 40 percent by weight. The states alleged that the program was deceptive under their consumer protection laws, and it was suspended indefinitely soon afterwards.

Otter Creek: Addison County’s ancient artery For most of its long history, Brandon, Middlebury and Vergennes have relied on the Otter Creek as a highway to Lake Champlan. The creek is one of the major streams located in Vermont. Roughly 112 miles (180 km) in length, it is the primary stream running through Rutland County and Addison County. Otter Creek rises in the Green Mountain National Forest on the western slopes of Mt. Tabor in Peru township in Bennington County, and flows southwesterly towards East Dorset, thence veering northward into Emerald Lake in Dorset township. Thence it runs northward passing through the townships of Danby, Wallingford, Clarendon, Rutland, Pittsford, Brandon, in Rutland County. On entering Addison County, it generally forms the town line between various townships. It next passes through Middlebury, Weybridge and Vergennes and eventually empties into Lake Champlain at Ferrisburgh. Otter Creek was known to the French as "La Rivière aux Loutres", whence the English name. On April 1, 1690 Capt. Abraham Schuyler was commissioned by the city of Albany to take a party up the Otter Creek about seven miles and there to keep watch and engage any indians. In 1731, the French began construction of a fort at Crown Point to

be known as Fort Frederic. Before construction began, they founded a new settlement called Addison. Vergennes, situated on the first falls, 7 miles (11 km) upstream from the outlet of Otter Creek, was chartered in 1778 only four years after New Haven and Hartford, and thus was the third incorporated city in New England. The stretch of water between the mouth at Fort
52412
Cassin point, Lake Champlain (the site of the former Fort Cassin) and Vergennes is passable by boat, and is frequented by motor boats, canoes, and kayaks. Indeed, Vergennes was a shipyard of some importance in the various wars of the 18th century. Many nesting platforms have been built along the creek, so one is likely to see both Osprey and Bald Eagles in the area. The second set of falls, the
50027
Otter Creek Falls, is in the town of Middlebury, the site chosen in 1800 to be Vermont's original seat of higher education, Middlebury College. According to Around Middlebury, Otter Creek is the longest river in Vermont and was once an important "highway" through the western part of what is now the state. In Addison County, Otter Creek passes through significant wetlands, in partic-
ular Cornwall Marsh, Little Otter Creek Marsh and the Brandon Swamp. Because it is called a creek, the unusual situation of a river emptying into a creek occurs several times along its length. The source and mouth are separated by 68 miles (109 km) miles distance—the (approximate) additional 44 miles (71 km) are due to meandering.

Hinesburg woman injured By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com
On Aug. 15, Vermont State Police responded to a one-vehicle crash on Spear Street in Charlotte. The vehicle involved, a 2008 Subaru, had been traveling south on Spear Street when it left the roadway and crashed into a tree on the east side of the roadway. The operator, Bessie Sandberg, 26, of Hinesburg, was transported to Fletcher Allen Health Care for evaluation. The cause of the crash is still under investigation-alcohol does not appear to be a factor. Anyone witnessing the crash is encouraged to contact the Vermont State Police Williston 802-878-7111.

Trackside Depot received a state historical tax credit to begin the project and also received federal taxpayer funds for improved “green” energy efficiency and new electrical wiring and heating units. “If you look at the beautiful 9 over 2 window-pane pattern,” said Dupoise, “you can see that this kind of attention to design detail back in the old days meant a lot to the builders. They took pride in what they built.” While built at the close of he 19th century, the depot was moved across the tracks in 1912, just a few weeks after the sinking of the Titanic. “The station was moved from west to east across the Steve Dupoise of Trackside Depot LLC oversees a major renovation of Middlebury’s historic passenger train tracks,” said Dupoise. “We’re station built in 1891. not clear on just why that was Photos by Lou Varricchio done.” An architect’s rendering of the renovated segments, news was made public of a possible A detailed history of the depot appears in depot will be released next week; the Eagle will extension of Amtrak’s Ethan Allen Express the classic “Walk Around Middlebury” guidepublish the image with an update in an upfrom Rutland to Burlington with a stop in Midbook available locally. coming issue. dlebury.

After a state archeologist examined the stone tools, work on the waste water project was halted. A full blown archaeological dig is now underway at the park. “The University of Vermont Consulting Archaeology Program is excavating portions of a Native American campsite on weekdays through Aug. 20,” according to Rochelle Skinner, parks manager. “This work represents the first systematic excavation of this well know, but poorly understood site, and is being carried out in advance of much needed park facility upgrades.” Jamaica State Park, comprising 772 acres, was first opened to the public in 1969. Pre-park visitors to the site reported finding artifacts over the years, but nothing as significant as last month’s discovery was ever made public. Similar paleo-Indian artifacts were found in Rutland Town near Post Road earlier this summer, across from Thomas Dairy. The 16 arrowheads unearthed were dated between 7,000 and 5,000 B.C. and probably aren’t as old as the state park artifacts. The Rutland County artifacts were uncovered during a routine Vermont Division for Historic Preservation dig in preparation for a future development site. “Beneath Jamaica State Park lie the remains of numerous ancient Native American camp sites dating back at least 6,000 years,” said Skinner. Skinner said the public is encouraged to visit the dig while it is underway, ask questions, help wash newly discovered artifacts and learn about the park's Native American history.

Mental Health Oversight Committee to Hold Hearing
THE EAGLE - 13
Religious Services
A public hearing, the third in a series of four run by the Legislative Mental Health Oversight Committee, is scheduled for Thursday, August 19, 9:30 AM - Noon, at HowardCenter Child, Youth & Family Services building at 1138 Pine Street, Burlington. According to Rep. Michael Fisher who chairs the Committee, the purpose is to learn about mental health and substance abuse services offered in Chittenden County from the community perspective. “We hope these hearings will shine a light on innovations and initiatives in Chittenden County that are proving successful, and where we are falling short in addressing the needs,” Fisher said. HowardCenter serves Vermont’s most populous and urban communities. Bob Bick, HowardCenter Director of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services, stated, “We are encouraged that the Oversight Committee is taking time during the summer to understand the complex challenges we and other agencies address and the needs that continue to demand the attention of our community.” During the August 19 hearing, the Committee will hear from representatives from HowardCenter, Fletcher Allen Health Care, the business community, civic organizations, police departments, and from the Department of Mental Health. Hearings have been held this summer in Brattleboro and Rutland. The final hearing in the series is planned for St. Johnsbury in September.

Commuting ... at a snail’s pace By John Gereau
johng@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Micheala Martin sat in an endless line of rush hour traffic last week, nervously drumming her fingers on the steering wheel. The Crown Point ferry — her ride home — was nowhere in sight. “This is ridiculous,” she said after stepping out of her car to talk about her daily commute. “I am half an hour late picking up my little girl at day care.” Martin, who lives in Bristol and travels to and from work in Plattsburgh, said she routinely waits an hour or more to cross the lake where the Lake Champlain Bridge once stood. Summer traffic has compounded the holdup, she said. Work has begun to replace the bridge and a new crossing is expected to be open in about a year — but for commuters like Martin, that can’t come soon enough. “It is impossible to plan or stick to a work schedule,” she said, leaning against her car. “One day you zip right across, the next you wait an hour and a half.” A few minutes later, the line moved a few hundred yards, transforming again to a parking lot for another 15 minutes as the two ferries crossed paths from one side to the other. Crown Point supervisor Bethany Kosmider said she empathizes with motorists, and said she has fielded a number of calls from commuters upset at the wait in Crown Point
and Chimney Point, Vt. “I know it is frustrating,” she said. “What I am hearing is that it wasn’t that bad until summer hit. Now the wait can be substantial, especially during rush hour.” Lake Champlain Transit currently operates two ferries at the site of the former bridge, but there are slips built to accommodate up to four. Kosmider said she plans to ask LCT officials about adding a third ferry — at least during peak traffic times like 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. “I’m not sure what the answer will be,” she admitted. “I don’t know about the feasibility of running another ferry in the canal. It is pretty congested now with two.” LCT manager Margaret Murphy agreed putting a third ferry in the rotation would only create gridlock. The company also does not have another ferry available at this time. “Three boats there would be on top of each other,” she said. “I think they would be forced to travel down or up the lake to stay out of the way of one another.” That scenario would also likely impact other boat traffic, she added. Murphy said the last two weeks in July and first two in August are traditionally the busiest time of year for the ferry service. She anticipates the problem to lessen in the fall. “It will die down in September,” she said. “In the meantime, we work as efficiently as we can.”

The ferry service between Crown Point and Chimney Point, Vt. is a 24-hour service. There is no charge at the crossing, as the service is subsidized by the two states. While Martin said she appreciates not having to pay to cross, she said she is forced to at times when trying to make a tight schedule. “It certainly is easier to stick to a schedule when I cross in Charlotte,” she said. “But, at $18 for a round trip, it gets expensive.” “I wouldn’t be able to do it every day,” she added.

THE EAGLE - 15
New Hampshire defeats Vermont, 34-20 By Frederick Pockette New Hampshire’s seniors all star football team jumped out to a quick 20-0 advatage, survived a Vermont attempted comeback, and hung on to claim a 34-20 win the 57th Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl, played in Essex at MacLeay-Royce Field, on Saturday, August 7th. The win was the tenth straight for New Hampshire, and they now hold a commanding 42-13-2 lead in the annual series.. It didn’t take long for New Hampshire to get on the scoreboard. Connor Lyons picked off Vermont quarterback Keegan Corbett’s (Mount Anthony) 2nd pass attempt of the game and returned it ninety yards for a new Shrine game record and a 7-0 New Hampshire lead. It became 14-0 when Quarterback Dylan Brodeur completed a 47 yard touchdown pass to Ryan Simpson. Then when Derek Furey ran in a touchdown from 13 yards out to make it 20-0 things looked bleak for Vermont, but they weren’t done yet. Vermont got on the board midway through the second quarter when Burlington’s Cooper Wile scored from four yards out. Then with just 22 seconds left in the half Essex’s Pat Nee caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Spaulding’s Zach Dessureau. Just like that it was 20-14 and it looked like the Green Mountain Boys would hold all the momentum at the half, but things change quickly in football. New Hampshire took that momentum right back when
they took the ensuing kickoff and using three different ball carriers (Zach Kelleher, Jake Cavanaugh and Lyons) returned it 88 yards to put New Hampshire up at the break 2714. They quickly increased that lead to 34-14 when Tanner Baillargeon ran in a touchdown from 18 yards out. Vermont would score once more with just four minutes left in the game when Corbett connected Brandon Boyce (Springfield) down the sideline for a 46-yard touchdown catch. But that would be it. New Hampshire and Vermont utilized different offensive modes in this one. New Hampshire pounded the ball on the ground all day, while Vermont utilized an arial attack. Of their 347 total yards, New Hampshire used seven players to carry the ball 47 times for 300 yards. The other 47 yards came from their lone completion of the day. Brodeur completed 1 of 3 pass attempts for 47 yards and a touchdown. Vermont’s quarterbacks were much busier. Dessureau completed 17 of 30 for 190 yards and a touchdown, while Corbett connected on 10 of 23 pass attempts for 121 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. Vermont relied on its no-huddle spread attack orchestrated by The Green Mountain State chalked up 311 of its 392 yards of offense through the air. Windsor ’s Gavin Callahan turned in a star defensive performance with a pair of interceptions.
Saint Johnsbury State Champs Saint Johnsbury came from behind in both the series and in the final game to claim the Vermont State 10 and 11 year little league championship. After dropping the first game in the best of three series Saint Johnsbury took the second game 13-5 on Friday, August 6th to force the third game. Saint Johnsbury again won this one (August 7th at Saint Johnsbury) despite falling behind early. Middlebury scored six runs in the first inning and held a solid 6-0 lead after one. But by the end of the second that lead had dropped to 9-7, and by the end of the tgird inning Saint Johnsbury lead 13 - 9, and went onto score six more runs in the fourth to claim a four inning, 19-9 mercy rule win. Ian Clough, Aaron Morrison and Garrett Brown led Saint Johnsbury’s offense with two hits apiece, while Clough was also the winning pitcher. Steddy Amory suffered the loss for Middlebury, but lead them offensively with a pair of hits. Ice Storm Improve to 4-1 The Vermont Ice Storm improved to 4-1 in the semi-professional Empire Football League with a 20-10 win over the Plattsburgh North Stars on Saturday, August 7th. Vermont quarterback Brad Ruderman passed for 129 yards including a pair of touchdown passes. One to Ray Herschenhorn and Rob Joy nabbed the second late in the game. Running back Akeem Williams led the rushing attack. Williams carried the ball five times for 75 yards, including a six-yard go ahead touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
