Health-care debacle helping party From New Market Press Staff & News Reports Daniel T. Riley has declared his candidacy for the Vermont Republican Party chairmanship. Riley, formerly the Bennington County Republican chairman, has a strong political background. Riley’s political move comes at a time when many Vermont voters are disgruntled by Democrats and the health-care debacle. Record numbers of Vermonters have attended tea party protest rallies in Montpelier, Burlington and Rutland in recent months. The rallies have received scant news coverage Daniel T. Riley in the state. In 2000, Riley coordinated U.S. Sen. John McCain’s campaign in the First Congressional District of New York and became a delegate to the Republican National Convention that same year. Since then he has been active in Republican politics consulting various organizations and campaigns. “Chairman Rob Roper has decided to move on and will be missed. He has made great strides during his tenure—no small feat considering the political climate he has been working in. Rob helped unite us as a party and make sure our incumbents had the GOP support they needed to get re-elected last year. We are all grateful for his commitment and sacrifice. It would be an honor and privilege to continue and further where Rob is leaving off. Riley said, “State Auditor Tom Salmon, undoubtedly one of the best financial minds in Montpelier, said it best during his departure from the Democratic Party—’The majority of Vermonters do not want to see tax increases as a response to poor planning.’” Vermont Republicans will continue to present common sense solutions to the challenges of our state’s future and we believe that the majority of Vermonters will agree, particularly on economic issues. Gov. Jim Douglas, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, State Auditor Salmon, and the Republicans in the legislature have been seen as unwavering in their positions about reducing state spending and economic growth to ease the burden on hardworking Vermonters, especially in these tough times. Riley will be advising Republican candidates

From the Editor:
A farmstead in peril I
n our tiny corner of the world, Vermonters are witnessing the continued erosion of the family farm, once a part of the bedrock of New England and beyond. So who’s helping our struggling family farmers and other rural residents? To their credit, some of our elected officials have shown concern; they have taken action, at least on the dairy front, but we never see these officials budge when it comes to taxes. For many rural dwellers in Vermont, the house of tax cards is soon to come crashing down. One, little example of Vermont’s rural woes can be seen in the case of the Hurlburt family’s Meadowlark Farm. This 1,151-acre heritage farmstead straddles the Monkton-New Haven town line. English immigrant Lebon Gates Hurlburt started this Addison County farm in 1801. Thomas Jefferson was president and Vermont was still a frontier state. Meadowlark is the oldest family held farmstead in our region. It has remained in the hands of the Hurlburt family since Lebon first plowed the land. But today— after first selling 130 milking cows in 1994 to pay the ever increasing property tax burden—patriarch Herrick Hulburt, age 78, is now facing the family’s greatest

crisis in 208 years: How will the Hurlburts pay the taxes before the property is seized?
Herrick’s health has affected his dayto-day activities now; the last thing he wants to deal with are tax hungry state and local government officials. And the Hurlburts’ tax bill has been increasing each year since they sold their herd. In true Vermont farming tradition, Herrick’s children and grandchildren live on the family land, too. Three sons, Michael, David and Rick, and their families, live in separate houses spread across the property. Their future on the land is clouded by the shadow of a growing tax obligation that is both unreasonable and impossible for them to pay based on their income-todebt ratio. Herrick Hurlburt’s land was originally assessed by the Town of Monkton at $1,452,400. It was later “reduced,” barely a micron, to $1,450,200. One of the Hurlburt property sites, occupied by Herrick’s son Michael, was also assessed above the local average just because it has “lovely views of the Adirondacks.” Michael Hurlburt likes to cite Vermont’s extinct Council of Censors which was designed to oversee the collection and use of public funds and taxes. In the historic council records, you can find references to old Article 9 of the

Happy birthday, Champlain! Festival of Nations Sept.18-20 Historic sites at both ends of the Lake Champlain Bridge will host the climax Quadricentennial Festival of Nations event on the weekend of Sept. 18–20. On Friday, Sept. 18, in addition to the atlatl workshop (pre-registration required) at Chimney Point State Historic Site in Vermont, special programming for visiting school groups will be offered at nearby Crown Point State Historic Site and aboard the Lois McClure replica schooner which will be docked at Crown Point Reservation Campground’s renovated steamboat dock. On Friday morning, “Samuel Champlain” [portrayed by Don Thompson] will twice present, under a large tent at the New York State historic site, a most interesting and timely educational program about his life and his excursion on Lake Champlain 400 years ago. And vocalist and instrumentalist Linda Russell will perform, in a covered pavilion at the New York State historic site, two morning concerts of authentic music familiar to Lake Champlain inhabitants during the 1700s. After lunchtime, visiting school groups will follow archeological tours led by knowledgeable archeologists who will show the organized student groups what they have been discovering at Crown Point this year. Other options during the school field trip day include viewings of the new high-definition digital video program and the new “Raids, Redoubts, Redcoats, and Ruins” exhibition, both inside the museum at Crown Point State Historic Site. Group reservations are required. On Saturday, Sept. 19, there will be free admission to more public programming at Chimney Point State Historic Site, at Crown Point Reservation Campground, and at Crown Point State Historic Site. Activities at Chimney
Quadricentennial filmmaker Caro Thompson. Point include an atlatl competition, craft demonstrations, and music by Atlantic Crossing and by the Seth Warner Fife and Drum Corps. At the campground and historic site on the New York end of the Lake Champlain Bridge, Sept. 19 is Crown Point Quadricentennial Day, sponsored by the New York State Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Commission as a legacy project. To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Samuel Champlain’s excursion on Lake Champlain, the Saturday event includes performances by Martin Sexton, the United States Merchant Marine Academy Band, Piers Faccini, Junstin Jones and the Driving Rain, Stephane Wrembel, Bear Tracks, Tim Jennings, and LeAnne Ponder. There will also be food vendors, displays under a tent, and a screening of the upcoming Samuel Champlain film “Dead Reckoning.” The Saturday, September 19 program highlights are the rededication at the Champlain Memorial lighthouse and the fireworks show. Free parking is available; guests may wish to bring a flashlight to use for walking to their ve-
hicles after the fireworks. On Sunday, Sept. 20, one lane (not both!) of the Lake Champlain Bridge will be open for pedestrian and bicycle traffic from 7:30 a.m. until 8:30 a.m., a special one-hour opportunity for the public to enjoy the vistas from the bridge. Thanks to Chimney Point and the Lake Champlain Committee, live music will be provided by Blue Sky Boys. The historic site on the Vermont end of the bridge will host a continuation of select Festival of Nations free programming on Sunday from 8:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Crown Point State Historic Site on the New York end of the Lake Champlain bridge, which fits Samuel Champlain’s description (“at the extremity of a cape which extends into the lake on the western bank”) of where he participated in a July 30, 1609 battle, will host one special program on Sunday afternoon, September 20. In the museum auditorium, at 1 p.m., filmmaker Caro Thompson will introduce a one-hour showing of her Emmy Award-winning documentary, “Champlain: The Lake Between,” followed by a discussion. Late last year, Vermont Public Television hosted the broadcast premiere of “Champlain: The Lake Between.” Guests who attend this Director ’s Screening will hear some of the insights that went into the making of this acclaimed documentary. The public is invited to come hear how world history came together in what is now Vermont, New York and Quebec. Carol Thompson is well-known for Vermont Public Television projects: the series “Rural Free Delivery,” documentaries “In Days Gone By,” “Barns: Legacy of Wood & Stone,” and “New England’s Great River: Discovering the Connecticut.” Thompson is a trustee of the Vermont Arts Council and a member of the University of Vermont’s Center for Research on Vermont.
Vermont vineyards win awards Lincoln Pk., Shelburne local winners NEW HAVEN—A New Haven-based vineyard and winery won a prestigious “cold climate” ward recently. Lincoln Peak Vineyard’s 2008 Marquette wine won the "Best in Show" red wine trophy at the 2009 International Cold Climate Wine Competition "ICCWC", held Aug. 25 at the University of Minnesota's Conference Center in Saint Paul, Minn. Other awards won by Vermont wineries include: Lincoln Peak Vineyard, two double gold medals, one gold medal, and two silver medals; Shelburne Vineyards in Shelburne, Vt.: one gold and two bronze medals; Fresh Tracks Farm Vineyard and Winery in Berlin, Vt.: one gold, two silver and one bronze medal. The inaugural year's competition included 315 Cold Climate wines from commercial wineries in 16 states including, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, New Hampshire and Connecticut in the east, Nebraska, Nevada, Montana and Wyoming in the west, and the Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky and host state Minnesota with 19 participating wineries. Awards were based on blind tastings by 15 expert judges from Minnesota and several other states. Judges included prominent wine writers, restaurateurs, retailers, and wine educators. Three-judge panels determined the initial awards, with the top-scoring Best of Show wines evaluated by five- judge panels and all 15 judges for the Minnesota Governor's Cup award. The competition is open to commercial wineries meeting the criteria for cold-hardy grape or fruit content. The following wines were awarded double gold medals: Lincoln Peak Vineyard 2008 La Crescent; Lincoln Peak Vineyard 2008 Marquette; Mac's Creek Winery and Vineyards 2008 Edelweiss; Saint Croix Vineyards 2007 Marechal Foch.

Sunday in Vermont
I
am writing this on a Sunday and it turns out, it’s sunny; it’s a Sunday. Just heard the Sun is 500 billion years old. Must be the candles on the cake making all that heat. It’s 93 million miles away from the Earth, and 100 times larger. Imagine the Earth as a golf ball and the Sun as a Mini Cooper. The Sun is an old giant ball of hydrogen gas. After reading the first paragraph you might be thinking, contrary, if you’re a regular Scrawlins reader, to what you’ve assumed until now, that I’m one smart full of information fella. Don’t think that. I’m not. I just happened to hear those sun statistics on a television show I was listening to while I stretched earlier this morning. Aren’t Sunday mornings in Vermont fantastic? I just used my underwear to clean the tops of my heat registers in my bedroom, and had a great time doing it. It’s so clear and cool and sunny outside that I want to clean all day. I want to clean dirt that barely exists, mostly just because, it’s sunny, and it’s Sunday. Can you relate? Yes, it’s Sunday and it’s sunny and it’s feeling more fall like as the moments pass. I want to stay at the house all day, sit, and watch my tomatoes redden. But I can’t, cause I’m working at the fair, as I have been the past eight days and nights, and I have to leave my house to go sit inside an overly air conditioned large industrial building for 10 hours. I’m not complaining, it’s my job, and it’s a good one, I’m simply telling you I’ve been very busy the past 10 days at the fair as an excuse for this column being particularly bland. The column is due Monday mornings. I like to start the new one the day after, if I’m able. This week with 15-hour days, I’ve not been able to keep up with all my administration work, say nothing of trying much creative. I might think I could have been writing while at my booth at the fair, but the number of folks who visit is large enough, and the frequency of the visits are close enough, that I haven’t felt I could get much clean writing done. So here I’m scrambling on this sunny Sunday morning to blast out a first draft. I’ll touch it again tonight at mid-night when I get home, and do the final pass on it before I send it Monday morning. All that being much less work it should take to pass to you a readable, sensible piece. I have had a thought about what next weeks piece will contain, and I’m thinking it’s one you might want to check in on, because it might (or might not) contain a big announcement. Last week, a noted Vermonter stated his intentions regarding his employment. His announcement “shook-up” many of those who work in the same business, which set-off a flurry of activity within the local media. Many of the noted Vermonter’s peers, the ones who were shook-up, now find themselves the subject of news reports that contain their own future intentions regarding their employment. All those announcements and media reports got me to thinking about the noted Vermonter’s job, which the shook-up folks may or may not seek, and how I just might think about trying to seek it. So, with that said, I now have a week to put my thoughts together on whether my announcement will get my name included in the same news reports that the shook-up folks names have been in. We’ll see. Until then, have fun on Sundays when it’s sunny, and even when it’s not. Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly.

Just say no F
or a state which, in the past, has borrowed enthusiastically from progressive states (so identified before USA Today invented the now-well-known redblue delineation) for exciting new expanded-government initiatives in regulation and control, it’s enlightening to take similar note of a time when it hasn’t: now. In the 1960s, it was regional high school and vocationaled districts from New York: in the 1970s it was rural septic-system design from Wisconsin; in the 1980s it was Statewide land-use planning control from Oregon; and in the 1990s it was innovative pair bonding from California, all of which found eager adopters in Vermont. But now, in the late 2000s, another blue State, Washington, is encouraging multiple small-scale hydro-electric power stations, and Vermont, in the modern vernacular, doesn’t want to go there. Case in point: the now-withdrawn proposed hydro station project in Middlebury on the falls of the Otter Creek. It raises two points, one historical and one contemporary. Historical, or how a couple of Yalies brought electricity to northern New England: the corporate lore of multi-national engineering corporation EBASCO (the Electric Bond and Share Corporation) goes back to late-19th century New Haven, when Electrical Engineering was a new discipline at Yale and a couple of silver-spoon-in-mouth undergrads decided to make EE their major. After graduation they fanned out across small-town New England, pitching to every Board of Selectmen in a village with a dam-andmill previously set up for manufacturing, their proposition for using some of that hydro power to generate electricity for municipal, local business, and residential use. The engineering grads would design the system, oversee construction, and train local management in operation for a small fee, which would be more than covered by ratepayers’ bills. When frugal Selectmen (back then, not now) declined for lack of funds to pay for the engineering and the construction, the Yalies had a quick answer: we don’t need cash; just pay us in some of the high-dividend stock or bonds you’ll have to issue, thus giving rise to the corporate name of their fledgling enterprise. By the early 1960s, when EBASCO branched out into urban planning and renewal and industrial park design, I signed on as an inhouse architect, the corporation was, proportionally, as wealthy as Yale, endowment-wise, and it was that historical connection with, for example, Barre and Rutland, which got EBASCO hired to do city-planning work there and staffers like me to do the writing and drawing. My bosses said to me that there wasn’t a village in Vermont where EBASCO hadn’t put in the hydroelectric, a couple of generations earlier, including, of course, Middlebury and Brandon. Vestiges of those early setups remain in both towns. The
SATURDAY September 19, 2009 selectmen then weren’t as no oriented as the present cross-section of Vermont politicians (who don’t at all share the pro-capital investment outlook which brought the railroads to the state in the mid-19th century, electricity to Middlebury in the early 20th century, or IBM to Essex Junction in the mid-20th century). Today’s prevailing mindset is one of rejection (think OMYA or Wal-Mart) rather than welcome (think new-homestead property tax exemption for most of the 20th century, but decidedly not any more). Vermont has become a state of no. The image, beyond its borders, of the state isn’t any more one of frugal and laconic, innovative and free enterprise-motivated Yankees, but one of hostile zoning boards, compost-throwing public hearing participants, fleeing businesses and a shrinking young-adult labor force. If the old icons of Vermont character were accurately captured in the forgotten mill, railroad, quarry and farm photos by Aldo Merusi, the new image icons might well be the fake stuffed sheep adorning pretend-grazing meadows near Woodstock, the building-supply retail outlet in Montpelier which has stood vacant since Grossman’s left, and Home Depot chose not to fight through the permit process for a move-in—the affordable-housing opportunities which are easy for government-related—or connected applicants but not for private-sector developers, or a state government which proudly announced that it has just allocated taxpayer stimulus money for an Addison County artist’s research into the “physical and performative qualities of fresh water”—presumably that does not include traversing a millrace and turbine to generate electrical power. As for hydroelectric then and now: Vermont and Washington, I commend to readers’ attention the half-page article in the Aug. 21 issue of the Wall Street Journal. The story described how small-scale (the contemporary equivalent of the Yalies’ efforts a century ago) dam-and-generator plants are being welcomed, built, and soon operated in a blue state. In Washington, the WSJ reports, 500 sites in the 5 to 10 megawatt output range have been identified, each capable of serving an average of 5,000 ratepayers. Using that math, it would take about three dozen in Vermont to service the approximate 200,000 metered connections. And the Vermont-Yankee shutdown compost-throwers could have their wish. My prediction: hydro power won’t happen either, because the urge to no is even more powerful. Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
Hubble’s “Wayback Machine” A
stronomers declared NASA's newly rejuvenated Hubble Space Telescope observatory a whopping success last week. And the good news was the crowning technical achievement of the year 2009, the International Year of Astronomy. America’s space telescope was recently outfitted with new cameras and other instruments by U.S. space shuttle astronauts. Spectacular images released just last week— from several of the giant orbiting telescope’s operating science instruments—reveal jawdropping views of our immense universe. NASA’s high-resolution color images were worth the wait. They include multi-wavelength snaps of galaxies, a star crowded stellar cluster, and a stunning butterfly like nebula cloud (see images on page 1), to name a few. “Hubble's suite of new instruments allows it to study the universe across a wide swath of the light spectrum, from ultraviolet all the way to near-infrared,” according to NASA. The scope’s spectroscopic instruments have pierced billions of years to reveal portions of the spider web-like structure of the universe as well as the distribution of chemical elements that go into the production of stars and life. “This marks a new beginning for Hubble,” said Ed Weiler, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “The telescope was given an extreme makeover and now is significantly more powerful than ever, well-equipped to last into the next decade.” So what makes all the news about Hubble worth celebrating? Well, let’s look at all the instrument upgrades— Several onboard instruments were made more sensitive to light gathering thus improving Hubble’s efficiency by a very large factor. Also, other electronic improvements have transformed Hubble into a supercharged version of the 1990s-era space telescope. This 21st-century spacecraft upgrade can now complete deep-sky observations in a fraction of the time of the old 20th-century version. According to the NASA officials beaming at last week’s news conference, scientists have been “focusing, testing, and calibrating” the new instruments since June and the results are beyond their wildest dreams. Hubble is among the most complex spacecraft ever built in history. Astronauts performed the hardware upgrades on the 19-year-old observatory’s systems at great risk. But sometimes risk is worth price. Case in point: The telescope was quickly called into service in July to observe Jupiter after a collision with a suspected comet. Hubble’s images
revealed a massive disturbance in Jupiter ’s upper atmosphere at the point of impact. Hubble’s observation schedule for 2009 and 2010 will be robust; it will include observing mysterious, ultra-cold Kuiper Belt objects at the far edge of our solar system. And the spacecraft will start a systematic search for new planets orbiting around distant stars. This work will include probing extrasolar planet atmospheres—water and oxygen may be found on some Earthlike worlds. Could there be life below those distant clouds? Hubble has played its starring role of optical time machine to the hilt. By looking across millions of light years in distance, this spacecraft is gazing back, back into the remote past. With that said, next year, Hubble will start observing baby galaxies that are less than 500 million years old. These young and growing galaxies were existing in the early days of the universe, so what may be revealed will be a prime example of Hubble as a kind of Sherman and Peabody “Wayback Machine”. Dark matter will be another observing target for Hubble. There’s much we don’t know about where dark matter is hiding in the universe. This mystery matter acts as a repulsive force; it also seems to be splitting the universe apart. So, whatever Hubble reveals on this and other distant fronts, will open new vistas to better understanding the nature of time and space. As taxpayers, we all own a piece of Hubble, one of our nation’s greatest scientific resources. Many Hubble space images are free and can be used for personal, non-commercial applications; they are downloadable and make eyecatching wall hangings or objects of study. You can download them to your flash drive, then take your flash drive to a local camera shop; there you can print out stunning, large-format prints and posters for home.

Pearson studied at Williams College, Oxford University, the Virginia Theological Seminary, and Boston University. He has authored four books related to healing: “Christian Healing: A Practical, Comprehensive Guide”, “Why Can’t I be Me?: Healing for Wounded Personalities”, “The Basics of Faith; and Boot Camp for Christians”. He was ordained in 1974 and named an honorary canon of the Philippines Episcopal Church in 1986. In 1995, he was named a canon theologian in the Charismatic Episcopal Church, serving as chaplain to the CEC’s House of Bishops. The Charismatic Episcopal Church brings together the traditions and worship threads of evangelical, charismatic and liturgical Christianity. Since 1995, Pearson has been the Rector of Trinity Charismatic Episcopal Church in Plaistow, N,H.

“Floyd” radio show returns Burlington's WBKM has signed on as the first affiliate station of the "Floydian Slip" radio show. "Floydian Slip," an hour of Pink Floyd hosted by Craig Bailey, will resume production Sept. 19 with Show 702. WBKM, which stands for "Burlington's Kinda Music," will carry the show 11 p.m. Saturdays. "Floydian Slip" went off the air June 7 after a more than 13-year run on Champ Craig Bailey 101.3 in Burlington. Bailey had produced the show for other stations prior to Champ, going back to his senior year of college in 1989. Since Champ cancelled the show citing the station's changing format and the show's lack of sponsorship, Bailey has been working to bring it back to the air on multiple stations as a syndicated offering under the moniker of the Random Precision Radio Network. "I'm excited to start back up with the guys at WBKM," he said, "and hope they're the first of many stations that'll give listeners the chance to hear the show." Owned and operated by Tony Gallucci and Eric Koval in downtown Burlington, WBKM began netcasting an eclectic mix of programming in November 2007.

By Frederick Pockette The American Cancer Society and Vermonters Taking Action Against Cancer (VTAAC) recognized Rep. Steven Maier (D-Middlebury) for his leadership in improving access to colorectal cancer screenings. Maier is a colon-cancer survivor and chairman of the Vermont House Health Care Committee, as well as co-chair of the Vermont Commission on Health Care Reform. The lead sponsor of H. 24, Rep. Maier pushed for legislation mandating that all insurance carriers offer the full range of colorectal cancer screenings, and limiting the out-of-pocket cost at $100 per patient. Governor Douglas signed the bill into law on May 23 with an implementation date of Oct. 1. A study conducted by the American Cancer Society and the University of Vermont College of Medicine concluded that cost was one of the barriers to having a colonoscopy in the state. “With the passage of this legislation,” said Kelly Stoddard Poor of the American Cancer Society, “Vermont joins a long list of states who understand that

Funds to help Charlotte, Hinsebury, Shelburne CHARLOTTE—Shelburne Charlotte Hinesburg Interfaith Projects has a magic touch—it transforms good used clothing and homegoods into cash for grants that benefit the people of Shelburne, Charlotte and Hinesburg. SCHIP is a 10faith community/three-town organization that raises funds at its resale shop to make grants to projects that benefit neighbors in those communities. Applications for the next round of grants for projects from large to small are due by Sept. 30. In the four years since it began making grants, SCHIP has given close to $200,000 to provide funds for everything from emergency food shelves and nursery school tuition assistance for economically disadvantaged families, funds to pay for food for a summer camp that provides meals and recreational activities for K-8 children who would qualify for free or reduced lunch during the school year, and support for coupons to help the needy shop at Recycle North. Grants have ranged from a few hundred to several thousand and are awarded based on guidelines including commitment to service to residents of the three towns as well as the track record of the organization making the request. Size of grants in the current round ranged from $500 to $3,000.
The guideline for grants is: •Projects must benefit people or communities of Shelburne, Charlotte and Hinesburg •Grants can only be made to organizations with an IRSapproved 501c3 status, but a group or individual without such IRS status can apply by establishing a sponsorship or mentoring relationship with a 501c3. For example, all the member faith communities that joined their energies to found the SCHIP organization have that 501c3 status and could help with an application for a grant. Application forms are available at the SCHIP’s Treasure Resale Shop at 5404 Shelburne Rd., in Shelburne Village, or at the Town Clerk’s offices in Shelburne, Charlotte or Hinesburg. Donations of used clothing and homegoods are key to the operation and success of SCHIP, as are volunteers who help as members of the board and as helpers who assist Shop Manager Janet Morrison in the shop. Hours, days and tasks can be customized to suit the availability of volunteers. Call the shop at 985-3595 to talk about volunteering, stop by the shop to pick up a volunteer form, or call SCHIP board member Tricia Coleman at 425-2980 for information.

My 2009 staycation
34543
SATURDAY September 19, 2009 ing alone for 30 plus years, I would require someone full time to hover over me because my house was not ADA-equipped. After postponing my discharge by intimidating my ride, I finally left AMA, against medical advice. The staff even held a round table where five of these social engineers each tried to one up each other with horror stories of my probable demise. In summation the food was better than what I get at home, I appreciate the effort to give me an extra length bed even though the sheets were short, and I apologize to Bonnie and Carole for harassing them (which expedited my release). Being naïve like I am I couldn’t understand why the staff couldn’t be reasoned with. As an example of this, is their insistence on multiple stool softeners, which I was given for two days even after overflowing the bedpan. Because of my size a committee of three was the minimum for a bathroom call. I must admit that I am not good at on demand defecation for an audience. Post pooping sanitation was extremely difficult within the confines of a jungle gym designed by the same sadist that offset the raised toilet seat to promote urine leaks on the floor and down my socks as well. This is a brief summation of my 2009 staycation. As my ankle healed within 15 minutes of my arrival at home, (off went the camboot), I endorse the superlative “bones and babies” for which the hospital is famous. What I’ve tried to put into words is that the food is not bad, the nurses are good , and I am a survivor. David Foster, the Farmer’s Son Middlebury
Feral housing To the editor: This poem was written in response to your great article on abandoned houses—as a poet, they have always affected me deeply... Thought you might like to know how a reader can respond to such good writing:
To the editor: Mark Twain once said “the reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated.” After the last election, it is a relief to sit back and watch the majority party precipitate a mild recession and then wonder where the bipartisan support for devalued money and other give-aways is. To celebrate the soggy summer I continued my research on health care by breaking the ankle on my good leg. It was almost as if I had been wishing for two equal legs. A brief chronology: •July 23 I broke my ankle in Salisbury, which gave me a chance to have my insurance support MVAA. •July 23 in the evening the ER sent me home with a camboot, which I affectionately call a hobble. •July 25 after falling in my kitchen, the ambulance took me back to Porter where my ankle was expediently set. While on the med-surg floor I was sold a second camboot and reincarcerated at Porter Rehab. •July 31st after a 10 minute ambulance ride, I was back at Porter med-surg for treatment of pneumonia. The drug treatment took several days. As I find T.V. an insult to intelligence, I occupied myself in the near biblical experience of turning water into urine. Rather than jeopardizing the hospital cure rate, I was shuttled from Porter Rehab Care to the hospital three times a week for I.V. drugs which are not available at the Nursing Home. At Porter Rehab, I found that not only did I not have a right to a daily shower, but that the weekly shower occurred in a shower room to which I would not take my farm pick-up truck. I found out later that each rehab hall has access one night per week to the showers. In the meantime, patients are offered half a bushel of powder and deodorant sticks for selfmummification. As my departure drew near, the social engineers delayed my leaving by compromise. In spite of the intensive therapy of walking 15 feet per day, I was told I could not ambulate well enough to go home. A home visit by my therapist led to the discovery that after liv-
For Sale A vacant house is like a child abandoned in the wake Of parents who have traveled on, In paths no child could take. It cries for succor and for love, Long lost, but not forgot; And with selective memory Mourns now for what was not. The silent rooms stand empty Yet seem filled with life’s debris And ghostly reminiscence Of the way things used to be. No spectral brooms nor dusting cloths Could ever clear away The detritus of what was once; Sad shards of yesterday. How fickle must an owner be, To leave so much behind; Surrender to some stranger what Was well-loved in its time. If only I could buy them all, Those remnants of the past; Then people each with life and love, Full guaranteed to last.

GUESTVIEWPOINT Thank you, Tom
M
y hat is off to Tom Salmon. I sure hope that this move helps wake Vermonters up to the real problems that the far left have brought on to Vermonters. When I served on the Vermont Senate Finance Committee with Peter Welch, Peter pulled me aside during our discussions on what became Act 68 to ask me which tax I preferred raising, income or sales? I replied neither, to which he replied, "then you are irrelevant.” Such a view has clearly been a top guiding principle of Vermont’s legislative leadership. Soon it became clear that raising the sales tax did not lower property taxes. It only resulted in higher public-education budgets and a higher sales tax, just as Democrat Governor Madeline Kunin’s state economist Art Woolf had testified before the Senate Finance
Committee. Those leading the legislature arrogantly show no regard for people with expertise and understanding. Auditor Salmon has helped shine light on the reality of our situation. However, Tom Salmon cannot turn Vermont around. Vermonters must turn Vermont around, starting by replacing every legislator (regardless of political party) who helped get us in this mess. Whether motivated by political power or by fear of political consequences, those who bowed to the out-of-state big-money interests that view Vermont as a beachhead for pushing a set of disastrous ideas on our nation need to be replaced with people who will put the long-term interests of Vermonters first.

THE EAGLE - 7
CVU shows promise in early season play By Frederick Pockette HINESBURG—Champlain Valley Union quarterback Konnor Fleming had a huge opening game while leading his Redhawks to a 39-20 road win over the Burr and Burton Bulldogs last Friday night in Manchester. Fleming threw for two touchdown passes and ran for four more to orchestrate the 19 point win. Collin Teator nabbed one of those two TD passes for an 88-yard scoring strike. Ian Solomon caught the other TD pass. Defensively Cameron Fitzgerald had seven sacks for the victorious Redhawks. CVU now has two weeks off before they host the Middlebury Tigers on Saturday, Sept. 26. The remaining two Addison County teams didn’t fare as well. Devon Grammo, ran for 171-yards and three touchdowns to lead his Colchester Lakers to a 28-6 opening night win over the Middlebury Tigers, in more high school football Friday night. Grammo had touchdown runs of 9, 66 and 6 yards. Colchester ’s remaining score was a 32-yard TD pass from Jack LeClerc to Alec Kozlowski. Middlebury’s lone score was a 23-yard TD pass from Brendan Burrell to Devon Bradford. The Tigers will be seeking their first win this Friday night when they host the Fair Haven Slaters in their home opener. Last Saturday in Brandon the Otter Valley Otters celebrated their new field by crushing the visiting Mount Abraham Eagles 56-7. Junior quarterback Zak Williams didn’t pass a lot, but when he did throw it he made it count. Williams completed five of just six pass attempts for 115 yards and four touchdowns. Senior Joey Massores caught a pair of those touchdown passes. Sophomore Nate Fitzgerald caught a fifty yard TD bomb and senior Casey Babcock had the other scoring catch. The lone Eagles score came in the fourth quarter on an eighteen yard touchdown scamper from Sam Lieberman. The 0-1 Eagles are at Winooski this Friday night before coming home next Saturday to host Bellows Falls in their home opener. The 1-0 Otters will be at Bellows Falls Saturday afternoon to take
on the Terriers. Four Addison County girl’s soccer teams opened their 2009 seasons last Saturday, yet only the Champlain Valley Union Redhawks could manage to start the season off with a win. In Milton the CVU Redhawks scored three second half goals to defeat the hometown Yellow Jackets 3-0. Emily Leffler, Haleigh Smith and Nicole Utter scored for CVU, while their goalie Emily Sackett made seven saves to record the shutout. Hillary Turner had 14 saves in defeat for the 0-1 Yellow Jackets. In Middlebury, Brittany Pfaff posted four goals to lead her Rice Memorial Green Knights to a 5-2 win over the Middlebury Tigers. Hillary Hee, while assisting Pfaff on two of her goals, supplied Rice with their remaining score. Alayna Hauke (three saves) and Kylie Rice (two saves) combined to make five saves in front of the net for the 1-0 Green Knights. Mattea Bagley and Molly Clarke scored single goals and Middlebury goalie Sara Boudah made a dozen saves for the 0-1 Tigers Meanwhile in Fairfax, Mikayla Forsey and Olivia Root teamed up for a pair of first-half goals, leading BFA-Fairfax to a 3-0 blanking of the Mount Abraham Eagles. Root provided two assists, which Forsey converted into goals.. Brooke Benoit scored the remaining BFA-Fairfax goal. Goalies Ruby Bushey (five saves) and Casey Baczewski (two saves) combined for seven saves to record the coshutout for the 1-0 Bullets. Shanna Gebo recorded 10 saves in the net for the 0-1 Eagles Lilah Watt had a goal and an assist in Montpelier to lead her Salons to a 3-0 shutout win over the visiting Vergennes Commodores. Caitlin Patterson and Alexis Boucher supplied single goals for the Solons in their opening day win. Montpelier goalie Caroline Dellipriscoli needed to make just three saves to preserve the shutout, as the 1-0 Salons defense kept the pressure off her all day. Vergennes goalie Christina Stinchfield posted eight saves for the 0-1 Commodores. The Vergennes Commodores boy’s squad didn’t fare much better last Friday
night in Fayston. Derek Zucco scored four goals, three of them coming in the second half, to lead his Green Mountain Valley Gumbies to a 6-1 thumping of the visiting Commodores. Thomas Woolson contributed a goal and three assists to the win, while Staige Davis chipped in with a single goal. Jack Kirby made seven saves in the net for the 1-0 Gumbies. Dustin Dattillo scored the lone Vergennes goal, while goalie JC Dugan posted a dozen saves for the 0-1 Commodores. K.K. Logan scored with just under three minutes gone in sudden death overtime to lead her Champlain Valley Union Redhawks to a 2-1 win over the Essex Hornets in high school field hockey action last Friday afternoon. Katherine Powell, who scored the only other CVU goal, assisted Logan on the game winner. Goalie Elizabeth Godette had three saves for the Redhawks who improved to 2-0 with the win. Abbey Johnson scored the lone Essex goal, while Anne Levy made three saves for the Hornets, who remained winless at 0-2 with the overtime loss. In South Burlington the same afternoon the Middlebury Tigers field hockey team relinquished a 2-1 lead, and fell to the hometown Rebels 3-2. Ashley Bishop and Shelby Laframboise provided the Tigers with their goals, while Middlebury goalie Kayla Whittamore kept the game close with a 15 save performance. Middlebury dropped to 1-1 with the loss. Ashley McDonald led the Rebel attack with two assists and a goal, while AnneMarie Farmer and Natalie Wimett contributed single goals to their win. South Burlington goalie Becca Bowser made a dozen saves to preserve the win. In Bristol, Sierra Tebeau took a pass in the circle from Kaitlyn Boudah and pushed the ball past Eagle goalie Anna Bachand with just 1:15 left to play to lead her Colchester Lakers to a 1-0 win over Mount Abraham. Jessica Stough made six saves to record the shutout and preserve the win for the 2-0 Lakers. Bachard and Lizzie Huizenga shared net duties, and made seven saves between for the Eagles, who fell to 0-2 with the loss.

Stone gets wins, Tremont regains crown at Devil's Bowl WEST HAVEN — Todd Stone may have lost his crown at Devil's Bowl Speedway, but he did it in style. Stone crushed the field Sunday night to win the doublepoints, 50-lap 358-modified feature on Championship Weekend, but ended up losing his title by a single point. Ken Tremont Jr., who went into the night with the points lead, came across the finish line fifth, just enough to beat Stone for the championship by one point, 715-714, for his fifth modified title at the Bowl Tremont used a mid-summer hot streak to get in position to win the championship. During July, he was the only driver to win the 358-modified division, chalking up three consecutive victories. He finished the year with six wins, while Stone visited victory lane three times. Stone was so strong Sunday night that only the top five cars finished on the lead lap, and if he had run a couple of more circuits, Stone might have put Tremont down a lap, as well. Ron Proctor set the pace for the first three laps from the pole position, but Kris Vernold moved out in front on lap four. Ray Hoard, who had started eighth, got out on the box quickly and when the first caution flew on lap 10, he was in position to take the lead on the restart. Stone, who had started 10th, moved into the No. 2 position on lap 18 and he and Hoard kept the crowd on their feet with some incredible racing until Stone finally moved in front on lap 36. From there, it was just a matter of how many cars Stone was going to lap, as the final 29 laps were run caution-free. Hoard was the only car that could keep pace with Stone, but he was still almost three seconds behind when Stone hit the finish line for his fourth win of the season. Following Stone and Hoard across the finish line were Marc Johnson, making a rare appearance at the Bowl, Vernold and Tremont. The third, fourth and fifth positions never changed after the 22nd lap, when Tremont got around Vince Quenneville Jr. for fifth. But Johnson, Vernold and Tremont ran together like they were magnetized, and the three cars were separated by just 0.300 seconds at the finish line. Frank Hoard III came away with his fifth win of the year in the 30-lap budget sportsman feature, easily outrunning

Derrick McGrew for the win. D.J. Brundige finished third, with Chuck Dickinson fourth and Jack Swinton fifth. Cale Kneer regained the track championship in the prostreet stock division by picking up his seventh win of the campaign. Fred Little finished second while defending track champion Carl Vladyka was a distant third. Kneer last won the track championship at the Bowl in 2006. Bill Duprey won the 20-lap limited feature, but Mike Clark came away with the championship by finishing second. The win was Duprey's sixth of the season. The CRSA sprints helped bring down the curtain on the 2009 season at the Bowl, with Chad King turning in an impressive performance to come away with the win. He finished over three seconds ahead of Chuck Alessi, while Jeff VanSteenburg, Dan Hennessy and Josh Pieniazek rounded out the top five. Erika Lilly took the last checkered flag of the season in the mini-stock feature.

When you use a BOGO coupon during a sale in which the same items are also part of a BOGO sale at the store, you will buy none – and get two for free! This one can be a little difficult to understand at first, so I will break it down using an actual example from a recent sale. My store had a certain brand of shampoo on sale BOGO in their weekly flier. This shampoo is regularly $4.99 a bottle. During this sale, a shopper will pay $4.99 for the first bottle and get the second bottle free. If I gave the store $4.99 in cash, how many bottles of shampoo would I take home? Two. Here’s where the fun begins. I’ve also got a coupon from the newspaper that states “Buy One [this brand] shampoo, Get One Free.” In the fine print on the coupon, it states that when my store redeems this coupon for reimbursement, they will receive the price of the shampoo, “up to $4.99 in value.” Did you catch that? Without even paying attention to the BOGO wording on the coupon, instead look at the value. It’s worth $4.99! Giving this coupon to the cashier is just like giving them $4.99 in cash. And with the shampoo on sale for $4.99 BOGO, I can take two bottles to the register and “pay” for them with my $4.99-value coupon. I’ve “purchased” none and take home two for free. In my coupon classes, this topic tends to raise a lot of questions. Of course, audiences get very excited when they learn another easy way to get things for free! But some people get tripped up a little bit with over-thinking these coupons. In one class, someone spoke up and felt they should get four bottles for free, because the shampoo is already on sale BOGO at the store, and the coupon states “Buy One Shampoo, Get One Free.” But it doesn’t work that way (and the store cashier will take issue with that incorrect viewpoint, too!) Truly, the BOGO wording on the coupon is irrelevant when you are using the coupon during a sale in which those items are already BOGO at the store. What we as shoppers are looking at is the actual value of the coupon. Because the coupon has a value of $4.99, it’s just like handing the store that same amount in cash. I’ve touched on this in previous columns, and it’s important to mention it again. Think of your coupons as cash, because they are! They represent money to you and to your store. And when you start thinking of them as cash, it helps you visualize why you can “buy” items that will ultimately be free with a coupon. Next week, I’ve got yet another coupon secret to share, and it, too, involves BOGO sales. © CTW Features Jill Cataldo, a coupon-workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal.

ast week, I shared one of the best-kept secrets of couponing: holding on to coupons for “One Free Item” and pairing them with a “Buy One, Get One Free” (BOGO) sale at the store. Any time you match a coupon for a free product to a store’s sale in which that same product is on sale BOGO, you take home two free items instead of one. And what’s better than getBy Jill Cataldo ting one product free? Getting two for free, of course! This brings us to this week’s best-kept coupon secret… and if you liked last week’s secret, you’re going to love this:

next year to initiate direct voter contact as much as possible and engage our Democratic opponents on issues as often as possible. ”I will work with our county committees and our candidates to make sure the people hear our solutions loud and clear,” he said. Riley’s strategy for the Vermont Republican Party’s future success hinges on a strong grassroots campaigning effort, which he acknowledges the Democrats have done a good job at in recent years. He is also steadfast about building more of a team atmosphere amongst the GOP ranks and to expand the size the team in the coming years. “The young and college Republican organizations are on an unprecedented upswing and we need to continue to foster that growth —they are
the future of the GOP.” Riley has been traveling around the state during the past month engaging in discussion about his ideas for the future of the Vermont GOP: “It has been invigorating meeting, speaking with, and listening to fellow Republicans across the state. Their commitment, drive and energy are truly motivating and inspiring to me. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and spending time campaigning with them next year.” Riley believes the next leader of the Vermont Republican Party is going to have to possess strong political skill, political will, energy, drive, and determination to guide the GOP back to a majority. “I am not going to take anything for granted and plan to continue campaigning to be the next chair of the Vermont Republican Party until the vote on Nov. 14,” he said.

THE EAGLE - 9
Colorful fall in your yard hesive that holds to walls but can rot wooden structures. A couple of groundcovers, both with reddish leaves, are the bear berry and lowbush blueberry. For small shrubs under four feet high, consider some Spirea cultivars (cultivated varieties) generally with yellow fall leaves except for reddish Japanese sprireas. As with many plants, it may be best to buy them in fall so you can see for yourself what actual colors they produce. Yellowroot has brilliant red and gold fall color. There are several larger shrubs, generally with reddish fall color. An exception is summersweet with generally yellow leaves. For purplish red leaves in fall, consider the chokeberry with the cultivar 'Brilliantissima' turning scarlet. Also purplish-red in fall are red-osier dogwood and some viburnums such as the native nannyberry, blackhaw, and American cranberrybush. Korean spice viburnum turns burgundy. Vanhoutte spirea, and in particular the cultivar 'Renaissance', turns an orange-red. Many of these shrubs have multi-season interest. In particular, deciduous (losing their leaves in winter) rhododendrons such as the northern lights series from Minnesota have red fall colors in addition to their colorful early season flowers. Red osier dogwood has reddish-purple fall leaves followed by bright red twigs in winter. There are many trees to consider for fall color, other than maples. For small trees under about 25 to 35 feet tall, red fall leaves are seen on shadbush, hawthorns, and the native shining sumac. Other sumacs, as well as mountainash, turn various colors of red, orange, and yellow. The native American hornbeam turns red in sun and yellow in shade.
Dr. Leonard Perry Extension Professor University of Vermont Whether or not you live in an area of colorful sugar maples, there are many landscape plants that can provide wonderful fall colors around your home and yard. If using shrubs or small trees, try a grouping of several. If large trees, one may be all that is needed or that you have room for. Keep in mind the mature size of woody plants when buying them in nurseries, and space appropriately when planting. Improper spacing (usually too close) and you'll be pruning in a few years, plants will grow together so won't realize their final shape and potential, and if near a building or walk may overtake these. An exception to planting close is if you want to establish a hedge. If using a grouping and low shrubs or trees, keep in mind they may look good against a dark-colored wall or evergreen hedge. Make sure you plant in soil suited for the plant. Try not to plant where snow and ice, or winter road salt, may damage plants. All of the following are hardy to at least USDA zone 4 (-20 to -30 degrees F) in winter. For vines, such as to climb on fences, consider American bittersweet for yellow fall leaves. This one can be vigorous and choke out other plants. Another vigorous vine, this one with red fall leaves, is Virginia creeper. As with many fall leaves, this one shows brighter colors in sun. Boston ivy turns dark red in fall in sun, yellowish-red in shade. While bittersweet climbs by twining, and Virginia creeper by tendrils, Boston ivy has tendril discs that make an ad-
Tips for the collegebound Staffers at the VSAC Resource Center, located at 10 East Allen St., in Winooski have offerings for juniors and seniors in high school. There are specific workshop events starting Sept. 10 that will help gear up students iunterested in attending college. All events are help at the VSAC center: •Finding a College that’s Right for You: Wednewsday, Sept. 23, 6–7:30 p.m. High school students learn about factors to consider when looking at colleges, then learn to use VSAC’s college search resources. •Preparing for the SAT: Saturday, Sept. 26, 11a.m.–12:30 p.m. Students learn about the SAT, the test’s structure, scoring, and strategies, and what to expect on test day. •Understanding the College Application Process: Wednesday, Sept. 30, 6–7:30 p.m. A panel of local college students shares stories and offers advice on the application and admissions processes.
Colorful Boston ivy on a museum wall in Cambridge, Mass. Many of the colorful large trees turn variations of yellow including yellowwood, American beech (a yellowish bronze), ash (a reddish yellow), ginkgo, honeylocust, larch (looks like a conifer but loses its leaves in winter), quaking aspen, golden weeping willow, and elms. For dark red colors in large trees consider some of the oaks such as the white, swamp white, scarlet, shingle, pin, and red oak. Some of the other oaks' leaves aren't particularly showy in fall. One of the few hardy flowering cherries for the
north, the Sargent cherry, turns yellow to red. If you happen to live in a slightly warmer area, such as USDA zone 5 (-10 to -20 degrees F in winter), your palette to choose from for fall color in woody plants will be increased. More choices, and information on particular plants, can be found in references such as “Landscape Plants for Vermont” and “The Homeowner's Complete Tree and Shrub Handbook”.

he last several weeks have seen a proliferation of fairs, especially the one at the Fairgrounds in Essex, the Champlain Valley Fair. Over the two weekends, six grandstand shows where produced, four of which I viewed, and for which I found entertaining, even though one of the shows ran quite a bit over time (which over time probably didn't annoy anyone overly much, except for the fact that it was on a Sunday and they had to get up to go to work or get the kids off to school the next day). The first weekend I saw the band Chicago on Saturday, Aug. 29. This group has been around since its 1967 debut as Chicago Transit Authority and the guys had a multiplicity of hit records and hit albums over those years. The amazing thing to me is how much of Chicago’s brassy jazz-rock work I knew without specifically knowing that it was their work. The band gave a solid evening of entertainment much appreciated by the audience and their appearance ended with a fireworks display. The next night, Sunday, Aug. 30, I saw a triple show: Jimmy Wayne, who opened before Dierks Bentley, who led us (after a wait for a change of set ups) to the star of the evening Brad Paisley, who produced one of the most vivid and exhaustive evenings that showed him both as singercomposer and as painter-video maker. Wayne was the most direct of the performers, and his show was simple to mount and simple to hear. He was extremely energetic, and the audience enjoyed him immensely. Bentley's show was slightly more sophisticated, slightly less active, and extremely enjoyable. When he came Paisley's turn, the two screens that are permanently a part of the grandstand show plus three other screens all were filled with cartooning from his own hand. His show, American Saturday Night Tour 2009, was indeed more apOrchard & propriate for a Saturday Cider Mill night than a Sunday evening, but he lived up to his word—he didn't stop performing until he thought the evening was over. There's no complaint actually, since his music is attractive, lyrical, and he is a terrific performer. His entire performance was self-centered in the best sense of the word, it gave us his world-

view, the world of country music at its most communicative. I thoroughly enjoyed the show in all its aspects. On Sept. 4, I saw Kelly Clarkson, one of the winners from the television show American Idol. Her show to was spirited, although, since many of her fans are preteen and teenage girls, perhaps or references to beer during one of her opening monologues was slightly off center and off key -- you should have seen how many young girls and women there were who had purchased the yellow souvenir T-shirt for her concert. Finally, on Sept, 5, I saw Jeff Dunham, the ventriloquist, in a show, Spark of Insanity. He used four of these puppets, the older grump (whose name escapes me), the skeletal Ahmed—the dead terrorist—his smart-mouthed alien, and his country bumpkin. He was genuinely hilarious, and he was well accompanied by a guitarist who opened for him and was part of the main show. One of the astonishing things for Dunham was to see how well the audience knew his routines, especially those involving the country bumpkin. He was really blown away by the audience response. One other matter: I use an orange handicapped sign and I was surprised to find that I was allowed to park free during each is a concerts. I was also offered aid by a woman who invited me to sit in a handicapped area for each of the concerts; I took her up on three of the four, especially because the first weekend there was rain. I also found people volunteering to help me get through crowds or do other small services for me, since my right hand was encased in a cast, and was obviously unusable. One young lady even ask me if she could go to get any food or drink for me, and when I tipped her, because I asked her to do that, she returned the tip to me, saying she couldn't take anything for offering a service. After the show, her mother, who is handicapped, spoke to me to explain that she didn't want her daughter to feel that she had to be compensated for every act of charity that she did. I told the woman not to feel concerned; I had not been affronted by her daughter's refusal of the tip. Sometimes when I go to concerts I come away with not only the experience of the concert, but with a feeling of the kindness of the people around me. I was very moved by these actions.

Governor Jim Douglas has proclaimed September to be “Morgan Horse Month” in Vermont, celebrating the famous breed that is Vermont’s State Animal. “I am glad to proclaim this month in honor of this magnificent animal on the centennial anniversary of the founding of the American Morgan Horse Association,” Governor Douglas said. “It’s fitting to honor our State Animal days before the historic recreation of the 1796 race between the breed’s founding stallion and two New York horses.” Figure, the founding stallion of the Morgan breed, was born in southern New England in 1789 and was later owned by Justin Morgan, a teacher, composer, businessman, and horseman who lived in Vermont. Figure’s compact, muscular body and stylish gait became widely admired, and his reputation for strength, speed, endurance, and the ability to produce sons and daughters bearing his likeness spread throughout New England. His stud services were offered throughout the region and over his 32year lifespan he became known as “the Justin Morgan Horse.” In 1796 he apparently became the property of Jonathan Shepard. That same year Figure was raced against two New York horses, which he defeated handily. The stretch of road where the race took place has forever been known as the Morgan Mile. And on Sept. 12, trotting races were held to commemorate the event. “In addition to the ‘Morgan Mile’ races, the Association and the National Museum of the Morgan Horse will be hosting several parties to celebrate the centennial, including receptions at the Morgan Grand National and World Championship Horse Show and at the National Museum of the Morgan Horse,” said Julie Broadway, Executive Director of the American Morgan Horse Association. “We hope everyone

Vermont agriculture and Addison County farmers. She began here career with Monument Farms in 1929 when her parents, Richard and Marjory James, and their children traveled from New York to their newly purchased farm in Weybridge. They began bottling milk in their basement, Millie and her brother, Steve, helped with the home delivery system, bottle washing and anything else that needed doing. In 1938 they were pasteurizing the milk. They were soon buying more farms to provide the supplies needed for their routes. After graduating from UVM in 1949, Mrs. Rooney worked for the Vermont Department of Health for two years before her marriage to

In 1909, 57 Morgan horse enthusiasts joined together to officially establish the American Morgan Horse Club, which became the American Morgan Horse Association Inc. in 1941. AMHA is a non-profit group headquartered in Shelburne, which is also host to the National Museum of the Morgan Horse. In 1961, the Vermont Legislature designated the Morgan horse the official state animal. According to Broadway, there are roughly 50 farms raising Morgan horses in Vermont, including the historic UVM Morgan Horse Farm in Weybridge. There are about 3,300 Morgans in Vermont and a national population of about 95,000.
James Rooney. They traveled the world together with his military assignments. In the early 1960's her father, "let us know that he needed more help." With one year old son, Jon, they returned to Vermont. Jim Rooney handled the machinery and equipment as plant manager, Millie took over the accounting and payroll for the successful farm business. Monument Farms currently milks 450 cows, their largest customer is Middlebury College, they distribute milk and dairy products over a wide area of northern Vermont, all the way to the Canadian border. Her brother Steve James' sons Peter and Robert, manage the farms, as well as handling the retail sales and deliver-

The family business has been a part of the Addison County Farm Bureau since 1930, Millie say, "We have a heritage and it's up to us to keep it and make it better for the next generation." Another leader of Vermont agriculture was inducted posthumously. Dr. Everett Harris of Charlotte, who passed away recently, was a leader in vocationaltechnical education working extensively with FFA and being responsible for the success of several such programs in Vermont. He was a UVM professor for 22 years. The award print was by artist Deborah Holmes of Weybridge.

state Constitution which stated that “taxes shall never be a burden” on Vermont’s citizens. Article 9 was later rewritten, the reference to “burden” mysteriously deleted. In fact, old Article 9 proclaimed that taxes “to be raised ought to appear clear to the legislature to be of more service to the community than the money would be if not collected...” Wow, imagine that Vermont government used to have this philosophy written into its Constitution! How far we’ve strayed from our founding revolutionary ideals. Today, the Hurlburts owe the towns of Monkton and New Haven something on the order of $28,000. Minus land use and school taxes, the family property tax bill stands at $20,000. A lot of the land in question is marshy and rocky, but that hasn’t deterred appraisers from assigning a “bulkland” prime real estate status—the point being, how many taxes could the town generate if the Hurlburts sold and those 1,151 acres were cleared for new homes? (Don’t forget those “lovely views of the Adirondacks”.) But to be fair, not all the blame is with town officials and their appraisals. The mess of the Hurlburt land is just the tip of a very big tax iceberg. Local appraisers are dictated to by state rules, thanks to the dictates of “Common Level of Appraisal”. Have we really come to the point where a family’s tax bill exceeds its income? And what can be done to reverse this ominous trend? What happened “taxes shall never be a burden...”? Michael believes the taxing of his family’s farmland is a violation of the Equal Protection and Common Benefits clauses of the Vermont Constitution. He may be right. But towns and lawyers, naturally, will argue otherwise. No category of landowner is singled out to be treated differently, they claim. The Hurlburts, I am sure, have been urged by friends and neighbors to involve a land trust or consider selling parcels off to developers to generate funds. But it doesn’t appear the family likes either of these choices. They are happy on the land their ancestors pioneered. So how can this or any other family stand up against the appetite of the state in search of ever more tax dollars? We’re not sure this family is on the winning side in that struggle. The Hurlburt’s lands are still agriculturally viable as far as we can tell. The land is still used for some sugaring and haying. A neighboring farmer rents some of the land although much of it is hilly, rocky and swampy. No matter, if the Hurlburt family loses this Addison County land to housing development, it can never go back. (And there are those who would love a view of the Adirondacks and have the incomes to afford it.) It appears that town officials see the 1,151-acre Hurlburt property only for its future development potential—as if it was already private, residential property ready for an influx of exurban escapists. Where in the Book of the Universe is it written that a pioneer Vermont family can be forced to sell its heritage just because a town sees only tax green by future development? The Hurlburts say the land is their past and their future. Local listers say the farmstead’s best use is in development. The arguement is based on the state’s ridiculous “highest and best use” concept, the result of reapportionment in the 1960s. This means rural lands are taxed for development potential, not as a cornfield or woodlot. By artificially inflating the value of land like the Hurlburt’s, city dwellers pay fewer taxes and the state can get its hands on more revenue for things like public education, etc. Somehow, the system as it is sounds unfair and untenable. So is it fair to say that it looks like the Hurlburt hand is being forced to sell its land in order to develop it, thus increasing the town’s taxbase? (Maybe town officials need to live within their means just as citizens live within theirs.) In May 2007, a judge heard the Hurlburts’ appeal against Monkton in local superior court. Apparently, the judge agreed that the town needed to do something different (the town was ordered to reassess the Hurlburt property for tax year 2005), but the court was less demonstrative (or instructive) in other areas: it didn’t see a violation of the state Constitution, at least as argued by Michael Hurlburt. The judge concluded that neither the town nor Hurlburt credibly established the property’s true value. Back to square one. In the meantime, the Hurlburts have done what they can with their heritage land to generate funds to meet their obligations—they’ve been forced into logging, sugaring, and some haying to pay a few of the bills. Right now, they are hoping the towns of Monkton and New Haven will add humanity to reason and work with the family to reduce the tax burden. Let’s hope both parties resolve this dilemma, a dilemma that faces many low to modest income rural dwellers in Vermont. But even with a glimmer hope in government officials not casting off their simple humanity for the sake of money—when it comes to going more than half way with neighbors in need—it just doesn’t look good for the little guy these days.

20 - THE EAGLE
SATURDAY September 19, 2009
We want to
thank all of you that attended our Field Day, Open House and Equine Round-up. Be ever cautious as you enter this harvest season. We want you to join us at our 2010 barbecue and field days.
It was developed to focus on the dangers for both farmers and the community that will be driving together on America’s rural roads this Fall. Suggestions for the farming community: 1) Be sure your SMV is clean and in good shape 2) Check equipment lights and flashers to assure they are clean and working properly 3) Choose a tractor big enough to both pull the gravity flow wagons and able to stop the wagons Suggestions for the motoring public: 1) Slow down when driving near farm equipment 2) Do NOT use cell phones or text messaging when driving 3) Know how fast you will come upon farm equipment on the roadway when you are traveling at highway speed while they are traveling at 1215 miles per hour Distracted driving by using the cell phone or texting is extremely dangerous when driving on rural roadways because you can travel the distance of a football field by looking at your phone. You can close the distance between your vehicle and farm equipment quickly.
By Bernard Geschke, President, National Institute for Farm Safety
“Rural Roadway Safety…Alert, Aware & Alive,” the slogan of National Farm Safety & Health Week 2009, is especially timely as the week runs Sept. 20-26, on the cusp of the harvest season. Commemorating the hard work, diligence and sacrifices of our nation’s farmers and ranchers is appropriate throughout the year, but becomes a more poignant observance as the bounty of American agriculture throughout our nation grows to maturity, is harvested and enjoyed by consumers. For agricultural safety and health professionals who live and work in rural America, sharing farmers’ pride and excitement about the harvest season is tempered by the continued, urgent need to foster increased understanding regarding the prevention of agrelated injuries and illness. At the National Institute for Farm Safety (NIFS), we’re concentrating our efforts on increasing awareness of National Farm Safety & Health Week and the practical applications of this year’s slogan among agricultural safety and health professionals, some of whom are newcomers to their vocation as well as farming and ranching. Promoting this year’s key message, that motor vehicle-ag equipment collisions are preventable, offers safety and health professionals a fresh opportunity to interact with and educate people in their communities. We encourage them to make the most of every opportunity to communicate about this, especially regarding awareness and recognition of roadway hazards by both producers and other drivers. We’re also encouraging safety and health professionals to make the best possible use of the wealth of resources available to them on this subject that remains so important to rural America, and ask that they continue to share these materials with producers and legislators. This year’s safety and health week slogan dovetails with a statement made by a charter member of NIFS: “Members…are charged with the responsibility of uncovering new hazards, developing new solutions as needed and polishing old ones, accompanied by convincing methods of applying the same.” Before, during and after National Farm Safety & Health Week 2009, we at NIFS offer our support to agricultural safety and health professionals as they dedicate themselves to their important mission.
