jgrybos@denpubs.com WASHINGTON — Environmentalist and longtime J ohnsburg r esident Bill McKibben was arrested outside the White House while pr otesting a planned oil pipeline in the western U.S. Aug. 20, and charges were dropped Aug 22. McKibben spent Sat urday a nd S unday n ights i n jail, and was due in court Monday afternoon. When presented to the court, the judge was of fended at the way McKi bben and his protesters wer e tr eated and dr opped all char ges, freeing M cKibben to r esume his protest. After getting his cell phone back fr om police Tuesday m orning, M cKibben used his first call to contact the staff of Denton Publications. McKibben, w ho s ummers i n J ohnsburg, N .Y. and winters in Middlebury, Vt., said police ar e still arr esting pr otestors, though not detaining them nearly as long as the first wave was detained. The anti-pipeline demonstration is becoming one of the lar gest demonstrations of its kind in decades, said McKibben. He noted that the Martin Luther King Jr . memorial is being dedicated, and he's pr oud to follow the example of civil disobedience put forth by the famous civil rights activist. He was interred for two nights and thr ee days at central cell block, “which is pr etty much exactly as much f un a s i t s ounds like.” He said the lengthy confinement w as u sed t o deter other protesters see McKIBBEN, page 9
PORT HENRY — It was a muggy 65 degrees at 5 a.m. Friday, Aug. 26 in Port Henry, N.Y. Stars glistened in the dark sky and a slim cr escent moon hung over Lake Champlain as r esidents and visitors str eamed into the boat launch adjacent to Velez Marine to watch Flatir on Construction workers move the Champlain Bridge ar ch 2 miles to its new home at the bridge site between Crown Point, N.Y. and Addison, Vt. Two tugboats moved the 1.8 million pound, 402-foot ar ch, which sat on two barges, one on each end. The trip began around 6 a.m. As the arch was pivoted in the bay at Port Henry, onlookers saw thr ee flags hanging from the steel span, a Vermont state flag for the east side of the bridge, a NewYork state flag for the west side of the bridge and an American flag in the middle. “It’s certainly been exciting,” said Moriah Town Supervisor Tom Scozzafava, who watched the ar ch leave Port Henry.
Kayakers Cindy Myrick, of Bridport, and her father Bob Payne — formerly of Middlebury and now of Albuquerque, N.M. — watch the 1.8 million pound arch arrive at the Lake Champlain Bridge the morning of Aug. 26. The bridge will connect Addison, Vt. and Crown P oint, N.Y. and is expected to open by the end of 2011.

Police cracking down on DUIs By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.co m MIDDLEBURY — Law enforcement agencies in Addison County and elsewhere are participating in an intensive crackdown on impaired driving thr ough Sept. 5, known as the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign. The V ermont State Police’s Operation C.A.R.E. will also be adding to enforcement ef forts locally over Labor Day weekend, Sept. 2 through Sept. 5. The pr oblem of impair ed driving is a serious one. In Vermont, while the number
alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities decr eased fr om 26 in 2009 to 24 in 2010, the number is still high. “Our message is simple and unwavering: if we find you driving impair ed, we will arr est you” “said Lt. John Flannigan, V ermont State Police Traffic Safety Commander. “Ther efore we urge all V ermont motorists to drive safe and be responsible.” According t o p olice of ficials, sobriety and safety checkpoints are an ef fective method for deterring drinking and driving by incr easing awar eness of the dangers of impaired driving and encouraging designated drivers.
In 2010, over the Labor Day holiday, a total of 18,977 contacts passed through the 53 checkpoints on V ermont highways resulting in 92 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. According to Kirk Martin, Orleans County Sherif f violators often face jail time, loss of their driver licenses, or being sentenced to use ignition interlocks. The financial impacts include insurance rate increases, attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work, and the potential loss of job or job pro spects. When family, friends and co-workers find out, violators can also face tr emendous personal embarrassment.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com NEW H AVEN — Vermont Q uarter H orse Association i n conjunction with the Addison County Fair and Field Days organization held a new event at the fair grounds in New Haven. The “money payback” gymkhana was the brainchild of Lori Brown. She competes her horses on the local gymkhana circuit with her children and husband. Brown presented the opportunity to Kathy Nisun, boar d director of the horse area for Field Days. Nisun took the idea to the board and thus was born the evening gymkhana event, the first one to ever be held during the fair. Over 30 competitors hauled their horses in from the local 5 town ar ea as well as Castleton, Brandon, Fairfax, Milton, Rutland and Townsend as well as fr om Whitehall, N.Y., for an opportunity of not only an evening of fun with their horses and friends at the fair but also a chance to win back money for placing in the top 3 of their division. Evening paybacks ranged from $6 to $67 for the winners. In case you are wondering what a gymkhana is, it’s sometimes referred to as “games on horseback” against the clock. All events are timed and test a horse and rider’s speed, agility and contr ol, ar ound and thr ough obstacles, barr els and poles. All ages, breeds and level of riders are eligible to compete in these open games. The events held this year included tunnel vision, pole bending, barrel racing, streaking flags and scramble. A team event for the Little W ranglers and Senior walk/trot riders was a three-legged race. Prairie Schooner, the team event for the open riders, was a hoot where the rider rode in, picked up a rope, which was attached to a tir e in which their partner sat to then raced back to the finish line. The Prairie Schooner paid back $200 to winners which was sponsored by Kevin Br own of Mountain’s Edge Excavation in Middlebury. The winning team was T om and Lisa Bove of North Ferrisburg. Other winners, in various categories, are as follows: LITTLE WRANGLERS Champion: Emma Brown. on “Magic”. of Middlebury. Reserve: Payton Vincent. on “Trigger”, of Bristol.

Middlebury College confers 45 master’s degrees RIPTON — Middlebury’s Bread Loaf School of English completed its 92nd August with commencement cer emonies, during which 45 students r eceived master ’s degrees. The speaker at the event—selected by the graduating class—was longtime Bread Loaf faculty member Michael Armstrong. Formerly head teacher at Harwell Primary School in Oxfor dshire, England, Armstrong joined the School of English as a faculty member in 1986 and has been teaching courses on storytelling, Italo Calvino, Tolstoy and the imagination ever since. He has published thr ee books on childr en’s writing, thinking and cr eativity, the most recent among them being “What Children Know: Essays on Children’s Literary and V isual Art.” His students praise him, summer after summer, for his inspirational investment in the power of children’s art. The “hooders,” who add the master ’s hood to each graduate’s academic regalia during the ceremony, are also

picked by the senior class. This year the graduates chose Elaine Lathrop, Bread Loaf's of fice manager and, for many students, the official "face" of the Bre ad Loaf office, and Will Nash, professor of American Studies at Middlebury College and a member of the Br ead Loaf faculty who held the Frank and Eleanor Griffiths Chair ed Pr ofessorship at the Vermont campus this summer. New this year was the awar d of an Honorary Doctor of Letters degr ee, to James Maddox in r ecognition of his distinguished service and innovative leadership as former director of the Bread Loaf School of English (19892010). All the degr ees wer e conferr ed by Middlebury College Pr esident Ronald D. Liebowitz. Forty-four students (including three in absentia, and three who received the degree in Mar ch 2011) at the V ermont campus earned master ’s degrees in English (the M.A.), while one earned a Master of Letters (M.Litt.) degr ee—a more specialized degr ee for which the M.A. in English is a prerequisite.
Recently, nine master's degr ees and one M.Litt. wer e awar ded at the campus in Santa Fe, N.M., and seven at the Asheville, N.C., campus. Next week at the campus in Oxfor d, England, the School of English will confer 30 master ’s degrees and one M.Litt. A total of 90 M.A.s and thr ee M.Litt.s will have been awarded this summer at the four Bread Loaf School of English campuses. Since 1920 the Bread Loaf School of English has offered a rich array of graduate courses in literature, the teaching of writing, cr eative writing, and theater to students from across the United States. For six weeks each summer Br ead Loaf students, most of whom ar e secondary-school teachers, work towar d an M.A. or M.Litt. and study with a world-class faculty at one of our four sites: New Mexico, North Caro lina, Oxford and the home campus located outside Middlebury at the foot of Br ead Loaf Mountain.
GOLF CHAMPS—This year’s winners of the Vermont Rotary Clubs’ Golf Tournament, held at the Stowe Country Club, was a team consisting of Middlebury Rotarians. The winning team members are John Quinn, Jim Rubright (not shown), Ed Sommers, and Dayton Wakefield. Heather Shouldice, past president of the Montpelier Rotary Club, presented the award.

Vermont’s Uncertainty Principle
E
ver since Peter Shumlin was sworn in as Vermont’s governor, there has been a cloud of uncertainty hovering over the Green Mountain State. Like Miguel de Cervantes’ Man of La Mancha. on his ideological quest acr oss the Iberian peninsula of the 17th century , Gov. Shumlin is tilting a few windmills of his own—both literal and figurative. I wonder when Mr. Shumlin will be able to fit the all-important issue of V ermont unemployment and anemic job cr eation into his Impossible Dreamquest (which includes his fifth vacation in just eight months after gaining the governor’s seat)? Last week, one of the governor’s top department heads r eferred to his boss’s health-care plan hemming-and-hawing as just “temporary uncertainty”. Yet, the fact of the matter is that the governor ’s total M.O. mad been “temporary uncertainty”. Gov. Shumlin’s “temporary uncertainty” principle, especially regarding his single-payer health car e idea, is now af fecting several state employers: An executive at G.W . Plastics in Bethel told r eporters last week that he is “concerned about the unfavorable business climate in Vermont.” The G.W. executive was especially concerned about Gov . Shumlin’s desir e to close Vermont Yankee (the plastics firm relies heavily on atomic-generated electricity). And r egarding the governor's single-
payer health car e plan, the Bethel of ficial worried aloud about “the possibility of increased costs to companies like G.W.” Paul Frascoia of Fab-Tech of Colchester reported in a July 1 1 news r elease that “while we ar e committed to maintaining current employment levels in Vermont, we are choosing to make our new investments in other states due to our concern about the future cost of single-payer , as well as the high cost of electricity, and high taxes, on our Vermont operations.” Susan Wachob and her husband ar e the owners of Hearthside Quilts in Hinesburg—well, formerly of Hinesburg. “After 14 years of doing business in V ermont we’ve decided to move our business to V irginia. We have to leave,” W achob said in a recent news announcement. The money began to dry up at the couple’s home-based business. Their business was paying a whopping $16,000 a year in taxes. “In Virginia, we’ll be paying a quarter of the business taxes we were paying in Vermont. W e r eally had to go somewher e where we can build our income back up,” the Wachobs said. Sad but true. The Wachobs had this message for lawmakers before they turned out the lights in Hinesburg: “What planet ar e you living on? It's not the same one I’m living on. We’re empty. We’re done (here).” Lou Varricchio
CVPS approves new power deals RUTLAND — Central Vermont P ublic S ervice h as signed two new power supply contracts, filling the 2012 gap in its portfolio created by the end of the existing contract with V ermont Yankee, at attractive prices. “These contracts serve to ensure our r eliable power supply thr ough the end of 2012 at very competitive prices,” CVPS President and CEO Larry Reilly said. “We
were able to secure contracts at firm prices—wher e performance is guaranteed such that the sellers would pay to replace any power should they otherwise fail to deliver.” CVPS, in cooperation with World Energy Inc., conducted a highly structured Internet auction that involved approximately a dozen pr escreened northeastern generators and ener gy mar-

Fabian gentrification
f the governing elites are careful in their gentrification strategy—with particular emphasis on attracting the upperincome and/or -wealth passive-income quintiles of Progressive mindset—they’ll concurrently make sure they don’t price the lower quintiles out of the state; if unsubsidized, eventually they couldn’t afford to stay, work, and gratefully vote Progressive. For the lower quintiles, they have alr eady legislated subsidies of various sorts— housing, health care, school lunches, higher education, food and fuel. Now it’s for electric rates. A pr oposal just floated by Golden Dome sources in anticipation of the of ficially denied, but-highly probable, cost increases for Reddy Kilowatt’s services (once V ermont Yankee is successfully put out of business and the State’s two lar gest utilities, CVPS and GMP, are successfully merged). A columnist once coined the famous “twotier” label. He raised a logical further point, which has r eceived even less attention: the not-so-benign neglect (a little D.P . Moynihan lingo, slightly modified, ther e) which automatically arises when the two upper quintiles and the two lower ones are favored while the folks in the middle are subsidized neither financially with direct payments, tax credits, or ceilings, nor esthetically with a subjective permit process and a hostile business climate to cater to their rarified and elevated environmental, ecological, and sociological wishes. The pattern has been labeled, somewhat hyperbolically, “the war on the middle class”, a phrase which brings up more than 65 million hits on the Google search site. It’s drawn far more attention beyond Vermont than within it; middle-class flight fr om Michigan, for all the usual reasons of taxes, regulation, and business climate, for example, has been the subject of Wall Street Journal op-eds. But the same stats and findings which undergird the W illiam McGurn ar gument about Michigan also under girds the situation in V ermont: middle-class flight, with the directly related shrinkage in K-12 enrollment, rising taxes, business climate slumping, and a trio of policies—de facto and/or

Quintile 3 (which, unlike top quintiles 4 and 5, enjoys few to no policies designed to curry their favor. For example, surveys have shown, most of them favor the big-box retail outlets despised (and often zoned out) by the Gentry Left) and yet they ar e called upon to help subsidize the expenses of Quintiles 1 and 2, which seemingly can’t quite af ford their property taxes (see Acts 60 and 68) or, now, their electricity bill. The cut-of f point for electricity subsidy, for example, will start at 150 percent of the federal poverty guideline, and a household at 151 per cent, Vermont economist Art Woolf points out, will now be tapped to help pay their bill. And then there’s the serious conversation which never happened in V ermont: the r eduction of property as sessment when market values decline, as is required by California’s Proposition 13 but has been conspicuously absent in Vermont when values declined significantly. That happened in the early ‘90’s (they’ve declined less, per centagewise, in this down-turn) because, as a Middlebury official explained (patiently) to your Humble Scribe at the time, “the schools just can’t afford to take the hit”. Presumably the middle-class (unsubsidized) wage-earner or small businessman could and should. After all, they’re the usual no-voters on things like school budgets; if they departed, they wouldn’t be missed. It can’t be pr oven, statistically, that such of ficial policies, some overt and some covert, caused the out-migration of the age-25-44 cohort which began to draw attention in those years, but it can’t be denied, either , that no Golden Dome efforts to study and perhaps reverse the policies has ever surfaced.

Opera House kicks off 15th year with membership drive VERGENNES — The Friends of the V ergennes Opera House kickED-off a celebration of 15 years of community arts at last week’s year ’s Vergennes Day with the start of a membership drive. Next year will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the grand reopening of the Opera House, and the Friends used last week’s event to celebrate the community ef fort that has gone into the revitalization of the cultural icon. The Vergennes Opera House opened in 1897 in the beautiful brick building that also houses V ergennes City Hall. The space hosted famous guests such as Pr esident James Garfield, touring theatrical tr oupes, the first moving picture shows seen in Addison County, and dozens of local weddings, debates, graduations, and performances. The Friends of the Vergennes Opera House was formed in 1993 to restore and reopen this community center, which had fallen into disrepair and disuse. After four years of extensive renovations and impr ovements, the Opera House proudly reopened its doors in July 1997 with a keynote address by Gov. Howard Dean and a performance by the V ermont Symphony Or chestra.The Opera House r estoration and reopening was the initial spark for the economic and cultural revival of Vergennes that continues to this day. According to Boar d Pr esident Allison Rimmer , “The Opera House is a vital part of our town, and an important resource for Addison County. Our members, volunteers, staff, and board of directors work together to cre ate a beautiful, welcoming space for visitors, performers, and audience members. The Opera House is a wonderful space for the whole community to enjoy.” The past 15 years have seen changes and continued improvements to the space, both large and small. In the past year, the Friends hired new Executive Director Eileen Corcoran, and under her leadership, cr eated the position of Events Manager, more than ably filled by Tara Brooks. The two women are several projects to a conclusion, including completing the sprinkler system; installing new ticketing software to better serve our audiences; and updating our membership, sponsorship benefits and opportunities. “We want to continue to build on the incredible amount of time, talent and local support that has gone into the revitalization of this wonderful community space.” said Corcoran. “Our hope is to have all community members feel invested in the Opera House and to ensur e generations to come can enjoy it as part of the fabric of their life experience.” Information about Opera House events, history and how to become a friend of the Opera House can be found at www.vergennesoperahouse.org or by contacting info@vergennesoperahouse.org; 802-877-6737.

“I got here around 20 after 5. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. It’s something you’ll never see again. Ther e will be people looking at these photos 150-200 years fr om now.” The ar ch’s journey ended around 8:30 a.m. when it arrived at the 2,100-foot bridge. It was then moved into place and secur ed before being lifted to the top. The bridge’s main designer, HNTB Co rp. chief engineer Ted Zoli, watched the arch arrive from every imaginable location. At the Crown Point pier, just as the arch was moved into place around 8:30 a.m., Zoli said this was the first time people were able to see the bridge in profile. “You really get a complete sense of how the bridge looks against the Adirondack Mountains,” Zoli said. “It’s a big day. The last piece of steel is always a big moment on any project.” Asked if ther e was anything during the ar ch-lift that made him “chew his nails,” Zoli said, “The float and the lift is pr obably the easy part. It’s making the connections ... that’s the critical piece of the operation ... With (Hurricane) Irene com-

Cindy Myrick, of Bridport, paddled in her kayak from a campgr ound in V ermont to the Cr own Point State Campgr ound pier to watch the bridge arch arrive on Aug. 26. She and her father, Bob Payne — formerly of Middlebury and now of Albuquerque, N.M. — navigated Lake Champain on the
south side of the bridge to see the arch-raising from the water. “It’s a historic mo ment,” Myrick said. The main navigational channel thr ough the center span was closed as the ar ch was lifted into place and secured.

The mind behind the new Lake Champlain Bridge

By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com Structural engineer and architect Theodore “Ted” Zoli is recognized as one of America’s brightest designers of beautiful and lasting modern bridges. His cre ative use of technological advances in the material sciences—for example, developing a composite, blast-resistant material that has a variety of constr uction applications—has given new promise to the nation’s transportation infrastructure in the post 9/11 world. Now, Zoli has pr oduced his latest engineering marvel—the exciting, new Lake Champlain Bridge. The new str ucture, which r eplaces the demolished 1929 span, links the Cr own Point-Chimney Point narrows between Vermont and New York. Before the Lake Champlain Bridge pro ject, Zoli made his mark with several notable, and award-winning bridge pr ojects including Boston’s Bunker Hill Bridge, Ohio’s Blennerhassett Island Bridge, and the Missouri River Pedestrian Bridge. In addition to the art of designing, Zoli has tackled the challenges of engineering science as well—that of armoring several of America’s iconic bridges “to maintain their structural integrity against the possibility of damage from explosion.” After Sept. 11, 2001, and in a time of budgetary r estraints and aging infrastr ucture, Zoli is developing tomorr ow’s designs today to ensure robust, safe, and cost-effective new structures. Zoli studied at Princeton University and the California Institute of Technology. He is currently affiliated with the HNTB Corporation where he is as a vice pre sident and technical director of bridges. Zoli also lecture s at Princeton University’s Department of Civil Engineering and at Columbia University’s Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. Recently, Zoli became a MacArthur Foundation fellow. A MacArthur fellow is an individual showing exceptional cr eativity in his or her work with the pr ospect for still more in the futur e—Zoli fulfills the MacArthur ideal and more. We interviewed Zoli about the new Lake Champlain Bridge and how it will impact the region— How did you become involved in the new Lake Champlain Bridge project? I grew up in the region—in Schroon Lake, N.Y. I was interested immediately in becoming a part of this project. I grew up knowing the 1929 span very well. My family has deep roots in the transportation infrastructure of the ar ea, too. My grandfather , Theodor e Zoli, built the Northway in New York. So, I jumped at the chance to also be apart of a big project in my greater hometown area. Our Modified Network Tied Arch concept is the basis for the new span. Flatir on Constructors of Longmont, Colo., with the U.S. subsidiary of the German firm Hochtief AG, won the contract for the new bridge. I truly appreciate being involved with such an important project. Looking back to the 1929 bridge that so many local residents cherished, what kinds of advances

will make this 21st-century bridge a better replacement? Fay, Spof ford & Thorndike Engineers of Burlington, Mass., designed the 1929 bridge. They had to create several techniques—new in 1929—to addr ess specific needs of that span. For instance, he designed continuous bridge trusses without the aid of a computer. This type of truss—a combination of through tr uss, deck tr uss, and deck plate girders—is not used very much today, but is was common on early highway bridges. The 1929 bridge was an important work historically, at least in the field of bridge construction. It survived 80 years which I believe is a good life span for a bridge in that environment. The new bridge has inclined hangers with multiple intersections that make the network arch structure act like a truss with only axial compr essive and tensile for ces acting on it. Bending moments and shear forc es are very small in network arch structures. There are several innovations on the new span—flanking “Vs” (supports above the concrete piers), inclined hangers, cr oss cabling (based on the cr oss timbers inside an old fashioned cover ed bridge), load-box girders, the use of thermal spray coating (which isn’t paint, but an application of 85 percent zinc and 15 per cent aluminum that is designed for a corr osive maritime environment), and a r edundant five-parallel girder approach. (Also, the “modular” ar ch was built nearby and floated to the span.) Overall, our modified arch bridge is very safe—it’s state-of-the-art when it comes to structural safety. As a bridge engineer-architect, what are your concerns about bridge wear and tear as well as inspection concerns? The parts of similar modern bridges that require the most frequent inspection are the splash zones, the deck, structural steel components, and the arch. But as a bridge ages, inspections need to be increased. Also, new federal changes to inspection r ules r equire more vigorous inspections. All around bridge safety inspection protocols are evolving and impr oving. But with less money available, planners and designers need to prioritize r ural cr ossings. We saw how important it is after the demolition of the 1929 bridge. This new bridge is of monumental importance to the region.

Our cr ews cannot get to many a reas i n c entral a nd s outhern Vermont b ecause t he roads are simply gone,” said CVPS Senior Vice President of Engineering, Operations and Customer Service Joe Kraus. “At this point, r estoration efforts are largely dependent on improving r oad access. Many customers, especially those who know they are in a severely flooded areas, should plan to be without power for days.” “We have tremendous resources at our disposal thanks to crews from as far away as Texas, but we won’t be able to make r epairs until r oads ar e r eopened,” said Rivers. “The winds may also pick up tonight, and with the gro und so saturated, even moderate winds are going to continue to cause

While in jail, McKibben made a statement released thr ough tarsandsaction.org. “It has been a little hot here in central cell block, but not as hot as it will be if we don’t stop this pr oject.” When asked if his wife was alright with his tr oublemaking, McKibben said, “Happily, my wife is the love of my life.” It's obviously important for the people who live along the pipeline to stop its constr uction, said McKibben, but burning the tar sands oil will have a global impact.

Upstaters included a man in the cell next to McKibben who was from Ithaca, and McKibben’s seen people fr om Rochester as well. He said ther e's still time to sign up and go to the White House in support of the cause. The planned pipeline will str etch 2,673 miles. Oil r eclaimed fr om tar sands in Alberta will be piped to T exas for r efinement.

seriously. The protest is planned as a two-week long, sitin demonstration in front of the White House. Rules governing area use say that in the area used for the sit-in, pedestrians must stay in motion and not obstruct use for others. By planning a sit-in, the intention was to get arrested, accor ding to the promotional website tarsandaction.org and the gr oup's media contact Jameson Henn. It's an act of civil disobedience designed to get President Barack Obama to reconsider OK'ing the pipeline. Because the pipeline is international, it must have pr esidential approval to be built. In a July 20 pr ess r elease pr eparing f or t he event, McKibben said, “President Obama can stop this climate killing disaster with the str oke of a pen.”
