MIDDLEBURY—On the heels of news of an Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) outbreak that killed 16 emu bir ds on a Brandon farm last week, the T own of Middlebury has announced that a dead bir d, found Sept. 16, tested positive for W est Nile V irus (WNV) Sept. 28. According to Tom Scanlon, Middlebury’s deputy health of ficer, Sept. 29, “the Vermont Department of Health has just notified me that the dead bird tested positive for W est Nile Virus. Everyone, particularly those working outside, should take all necessary pr ecautions and protect themselves from mosquitoes—which ar e r esponsible for the spread of this disease—until the end of the curr ent mosquito season.” The U.S. Centers for Disease Contr ol and Pr evention advise that the W est Nile virus is a potentially serious illness. The CDS says the easiest and best way to avoid WNV is to pr event mosquito bites: •When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EP A-registered active ingr edient. Follow the directions on the package. (DEET spray, oil or lotion is the best defense.) •Many mosquitoes ar e most active at dusk and dawn. Be sure to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants at these times o r c onsider s taying indoors during these hours. •Make sur e you have good screens on your windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out. see WEST NILE VIRUS, page 8

Rising Vermont GOP star: Sydney Fuqua of Middlebury College. Photo by Lou Varricchio
MIDDLEBURY—Middlebury’s Republican Party members held their political caucus Sept. 28 to elect new local leaders.A surprise to some was the election of its new chairwoman 20-year-old Sydney Fuqua. Fuqua, a j unior e nrolled a t M iddlebury College, represents a growing, younger face to the Grand Old Party . She is a rising star within the campus GOP movement on a state level, too. Also elected in Middlebury wer e outgoing chairman Jack Burkholder as assistant chairman, Pauline Paolini as secr etary, Brian Bauer as treasurer, and Don Keeler as assistant treasurer. Former Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas was guest speaker at W ednesday’s caucus. He encouraged party faithful not to “give up the fight” in attempts to balance state government. “We need balance in Montpelier ,” Douglas said, “and you just don’t see that with the current supermajority. Vermont has one party government and you see the r esult. Republicans need to get the message out: Vermont is better with balanced, two party government.” According to GOP veteran Sally Foley of Middlebury—who championed Fuqua’s see GOP, page 11
Middlebury residents OK fire stations Taxes to increase
By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—Middlebury voters approved a $250,000 bond to move ahead and r ebuild fir e stations on Seymour Street downtown and Route 125 in East Middlebury . Turnout was light with the vote being 146 yes, 78 no. The Sept. 27 vote did not end the multi-stage process. Another referendum, a $4.6 million bond on both stations, will be up for vote in March 2012 as well. “I would like to thank the town’s people for ther e support,” said
Middlebury Fir e Chief Rick Cole. “To be able to have a facility that the trucks fit in properly with mir-
rors in pr oper traf fic position and buildings that are much more energy efficient will be great. Demand
on the fir e department incr eases every year. We are looking forward to having space to be able to meet that need.” Middlebury Town Manager Bill Finger said the fir e station bond would incr ease Middlebury pr operty taxes $19 per $100,000 until 2014. But by 2014, local pr operty taxes would jump to $57 per $100,000 in assessed value. By 2033, the added tax would slide down tot $28 per $100,000 in assessed value. Lack of space at the downtown station and technical pr oblems at the East Middlebury substation prompted the move to r eengineer both stations by Bread Loaf Corp. of Middlebury.

Ensilage bunkers replace old fashioned silos By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—Take a look at V ermont Natural Ag Pr oducts Inc., makers of M oo Doo an d o ther a ward-winning p roducts a t the Foster Br other ’s Farm on Lower Foote Street in Middlebury, and you’ll see a modern farm using some of the latest, efficient faming methods—such as ensilage. According to r etired family member and former ice cream maker David Foster, “the operation’s pr oducts ar e formulated fr om cow, horse, and poultry compost from farms located all around the area and are available from r etailers and wholesalers thr oughout the northeast.”
Foster said the farm began in 1941 and incorporated in 1971. In addition to its traditional dairy focus, the farm has expanded by supplying Moo Doo gar dening manure and potting soil, mulches, peat, gr owing mixes, and landscaping stone. “The whole operation covers over 1,500 acres. The dairy her d is about 630 cows— over 370 of which are milked,” Foster added. “The herd produces over 8 million pounds of milk each year.” Visible along Lower Foot Str eet is the farm’s ensilage operation. The farm’s ensilage area is not your grandfather ’s vertical, str uctural silo—instead, think of Fosters’ ensilage area as a layer ed, horizontal mound rising about two stories in
the air. According to Foster , the “layer ed mound silo” preserves plant food for livestock in a green, undried condition ensuring the best nutrients remain intact. The layering of the ensilage mound also requires airtight conditions. “In the end, the farmer ends up with fodder for his animals,” he said. Foster said the cr op material must be spread in uniform layers, with plastic in between, and then packed. Only a few feet are added to it in a week. The entir e mass then
begins to naturally heat up throughout. This process ensures the decomposition of plant carbohydrates into various acids, hence the name sour silage. Loosely packed mounds increase oxidation and the r esult is sweet silage. While many farms may still sport vertical silos made of concr ete or other materials, closer inspection may r eveal that these older silos are empty. Instead, farmers are moving to ensilage mound systems due to their increase efficiency, lower cost, and safer work environment.
Ripton man arrested on numerous charges RIPTON — A Ripton man faces several char ges after being arrested by Vermont State Police Friday , Sept. 30, accor ding to of ficials at Troop C Headquarters in Rutland. Around 2:30 p.m. Sept. 30, tr oopers fr om the New Haven barracks r esponded to the Lincoln Road r esidence of Jenn W yrocki, 39, in Ripton for a welfar e check. Ben Webb, 28, of Ripton, had allegedly assaulted W yrocki and her r oommate, 76-year -old Geor ge Farr, she told state police. An investigation of the incident indicated that Webb had allegedly attacked W yrocki, a live-in girlfriend, after a heated argument, punching and choking Wyrocki and Webb when he tried to intervene.
Webb allegedly punched Farr in the face and head, then knocked him to the ground, causing incapacitating injuries. Webb then allegedly held both victims at knifepoint for several hours, denying them medical attention and the ability to call for help. During this time, W ebb allegedly thr eatened to kill Wyrocki and Farr if they attempted to leave the r esidence or call the police. Webb left in W yrocki’s Chevrolet tr uck after she gave him a check for fuel and assur ed him that she would not call the police. Middlebury police located Webb at a r esidence in Middlebury, and when state police r esponded to help take him into custody, Webb allegedly resisted ar-
rest. Trooper Justin Busby deployed his T aser, incapacitating Webb and allowing the Middlebury officers to take him into custody. Webb was char ged with first degree aggravated domestic assault, aggravated assault, kidnapping, unlawful r estraint in the first degree, driving while license suspended-criminal, and violation of conditions of release. Webb was r emanded to the Marble V alley Corr ectional Facility in Rutland in lieu of $50,000 bail. The Middlebury V olunteer Ambulance Association pr ovided medical attention to W yrocki, Farr and Webb. In addition, Webb was evaluated by the Addison County Counseling Service.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com BROOKFIELD—Richard Walker Mallary, (born Feb. 21, 1929) died Sept. 29; he was a former U.S. Representative from Vermont. Born in Springfield, Mass., Mallary was educated at B radford Academy, B radford, Vermont, and attended Dartmouth College, receiving an A.B. degree in 1949. Mallary operated a dairy farm in Fairlee, Vt. from 1950 to 1970, where he first sought elected office and was subsequently elected chairman of the Fairlee Board of Selectmen, serving fr om 1951 to 1953. He served as a
member of the Vermont House of Representatives fr om 1961 to 19 69, and again fr om 1999 to 2003, serving as Speaker fr om 1966 to 1968.

Middlebury’s Ray Fisher was Yankees diamond star MIDDLEBURY — Rediscover the amazing athletic legacy of Ray Lyle Fisher. Born Oct. 4, 1887, Fisher pitched all or part of nine seasons in Major League Baseball. His debut game took place on July 2, 1910. His final game took place on Oct. 2, 1920. During his career he played for the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds. Nicknamed "Pick" (short for the freshwater fish pickerel), Fisher was an allaround athl ete w ho played football, basketball, and baseball- though his father only permitted sports if the farm work was done. He played on V ermont's 1904 State Championship football team and r eceived multiple college scholarships in football, but his r eal love was baseball and he stayed on in his hometown attending Middlebury College. After stellar performances on the college mound, he was offered a position pitching with a semi-pr o team in Valleyfield, Quebec, in the summer of 1907. In 1908 and 1909 he pitched in the minor leagues for Hartfor d in the Connecticut League, going 12-1 i n hi s f irst p artial s eason (batting .304) and 25-4 the following year with 243 strikeouts. His contract was sold to the New York Highlanders (Yankees), and he reported there in 1910 following his graduation fr om Middlebury, bringing alongto the amusement of his new teammates- his homemade bat from off the farm. Dubbed the "V ermont Schoolmaster" because he taught Latin during his first offseason, Ray pitched for New York fr om 1910–17, spending 1918 in the Army stationed at Fort Slocum of f New Rochelle. As a r ookie, his ERA ranked fifth in the league in 1915. From 1911 to 1915, during the offseason, Fisher was employed as Middlebury College's first athletic director. Fisher pitched for the Reds in 1919 and 1920. He went 14-5 in 1919 and pitched Game 3 in the infamous 1919 W orld Series, a game in which the Reds wer e shut out by Chicago’s Dickie Kerr. In the spring of 1920 the American and National Leagues agr eed to outlaw use of the spitball, though 22 spitball pitchers wer e exempted from the ban for the season. The following year a permanent ban went into effect, with 17 pitchers grandfathered f or t he r emainder of their pitching car eers. Though he had lar gely discontinued use of the spitter
by 1914, Fisher was one of those allowed to continue to use the pitch. Fisher is known for being one of the few players to be reinstated into pr ofessional baseball after being banned for life. Prior to the 1921 season, the Reds of fered him a contract in which his salary was $1,000 less than that of the previous season. After making his objections known in a letter to Reds pr esident August Herrmann, Fisher signed th e c ontract. B efore the se ason began, however , Fisher learned that the position of head baseball coach had again become available at the University of Michigan, a position for which he had belatedly applied the previous year on the recommendation of Branch Rickey. Fisher r equested, and was
apparently given by manager Pat Moran, permission to go and look into the job. After Michigan's playing season was over, other teams began contacting Fisher , inquiring as to his availability to pitch, Rickey's St. Louis Cardinals among them. Fisher contacted the Reds for clarification on his status, noting that he r ealized they had first call on his services. He learned that he was being placed on the list of those ineligible to play , the Reds citing his having given them only seven days notice, rather than the r equired ten, prior to leaving the club. Fisher appealed to the commissioner of baseball, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, and the commissioner promised to look into the matter. Following t he d etermina-
tion of his ineligibility for leaving the Reds, Ray signed on with one of the outlaw teams, pitching only briefly for the Frankin, Pa., Oilers before the team folded. In 1951 Ray was called to Washington, D.C., to testify about his blacklisting in a House Judiciary Committee investigation into the alleged monopoly of power in professional baseball. Fisher r emained head coach for the University of Michigan's baseball team for 38 seasons, also serving as freshman football coach and assistant basketball coach for a number of years. In 1923, Ray became Michigan's first coach in the 20th century to integrate a varsity sport. During the 1940s he was hailed by Esquir e magazine as a close second to Jack Bar-
ry of Holy Cr oss as the top college baseball coach in the country, and Fisher was generally regarded as one of the nation's pr emiere instr uctors of college pitchers. By the time he r etired in 1958, Fisher had compiled a 636-295-8 r ecord with only two losing seas ons, and he held the r ecord as the University of Michigan's winningest coach for 70 years (1930–2000). For five years during the 1960s Fisher coached pitchers for the farm teams of the Milwaukee Braves and the Detroit T igers, and into his 80s Ray was still working with pitchers at the r equest of subsequent University of Michigan baseball coaches. In the summer of 1982, Fisher was invited to the yearly Old Timers' Day at Yankee Stadium, his first
visit to the famous facility which had been built after he'd left the team. Approaching age 95, he was then the oldest former Yankee, Cincinnati Red and World Series player . He r eceived two standing ovations from the fans and threw out the opening pitch for that day's YankeesRangers game. He died Nov. 3, 1982 in Ann Arbor, Mich. and is buried in Washtenong Memorial Park. In 2003, thr ough the efforts of the Vermont chapter of the Society for American Baseball Resear ch, the State of Vermont placed a historic site marker near Fisher's birthplace, at the intersection of U.S. Route 7 (Court Street) and Cr eek Road in Middlebury, across from the offices of the Addison Eagle Newspaper.

A ticket to ride, again W
hile I don’t shuttle between New York and Vermont across Lake Champlain on a daily basis, I do understand the hassle commuters have been experiencing since the 1929 bridge was closed and demolished. In fact, the word “hassle” is probably too tame to use here. Lots of emotions—from feelings of loss to near violence—have been experienced by commuters and business owners on both sides of the lake. For some, sadly, the bridge crisis marked the end of a business or a job. The negative impact on our local economy will be discussed for years to come. Case in point: Our newspaper had a young employee we’ll call Jim who lived in Crown Point, N.Y. Two years ago, he faced a daunting challenge to get to his prime sales grounds—Middlebury, Brandon and Rutland. In Jim’s case, getting across the lake was a major stress factor for many months. For a time, he drove south from Crown Point to Whitehall and worked his way back to Middlebury. But that never really worked and disrupted a successful flow he had already established. While some individuals were touting how wonderful it was that a commuter shuttle was running into Middlebury from several ferry points; Jim viewed it as an utterly useless, albeit quaint, problem solver for him personally. In Jim’s case, he needed his own car to get to and from his daily customer list. Jim was on his own timetable, not someone else’s. But when the temporary ferry began running in the narrows, that solved a lot of headaches for Jim; however, taking this “slow boat to China” was not
the best solution for him. Jim was always looking at the clock; time was money for Jim. And so time was and is money for many other working people just like Jim. Personally, I think that’s why public transportation solutions in Vermont and the North Country tend to sink like a fleet of lead balloons whenever tried. Being in control: I think that’s why most local commuters between New York and Vermont are counting down the remaining weeks until the new Lake Champlain Bridge opens for traffic. While they appreciated the reliable, temporary ferry service during the construction phase, they were ultimately at the beck and call of faceless overseers. Now they are chomping at the bit to get some control back into their daily commuting lives. The bridge is their ticket to ride—again. Honestly, all the planned spring 2012 fireworks, music, vendors, local powerplayer hobnobbing, and ribbon-cutting activities we’ve been hearing about sound fun, but they seem like they’ll be an anti-climax. Progress on the bridge is rapid now and it looks like the span will finally open either late this month or in early November. Like many commuters, I, too, suffer from “bridge fatigue”—too much news about the bridge. By this time, the news is getting old. So, it’s time to move on and get back to normal, as much as normal can be these days. I have heard several people ask the question: “When do we get our bridge back?” The answer now appears to be “very soon, very soon”—at long last. Louis Varricchio

Lose weight!
L
ots of folks have been commenting about my weight. Thanks for being curious and or concerned. I’ve lost 25 pounds and landed at 180, or a pound or two below, depending on my intake of fuel and output of energy any particular day. The weight loss is, I consider, a major reason that I’m very much more than fine. I’m mighty fine - feel like a million bucks (pre2008 million bucks). How and why does a middle-aged guy decide to lose 25 pounds from his not overweight frame? Long story. Got a minute? At 40 I was superman. Weren’t you? I routinely rang the strongman bell at the fair, with one arm, and one swing, while whistling The Knack’s, “My Sharona.” I’d tote giant rolled living room carpets on my shoulder for miles, just to say so. Women? Ha, two, three to a shot, then wonder how I still had energy left to pet the cat. For fun on my 40th birthday, I lept a tall building, 14 times, in 15 minutes. Then in the winter of my 40th year, skiing, I caught both tips in some heavy powder. Upon yanking the tips out, I felt a wrench and tug in my lower back. Right than and there, superman lost his cape, for good – but I didn’t know it. I skied the rest of the day on residual superman pheromones. Real smart. Then I went to a back doctor, who took an x-ray and calmly told me after viewing the x-ray, “You have a bad back.” I said, “Yeah, I know.” He repeated, “You have a, bad back.” “That’s why I’m here doc, yeah.” “No, you have a bad back,” he insisted. Then pausing, he tapped his middle finger on the problem area of the x-

ray and continued, “you always will.” Stunned, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind, “Should I do yoga?” The doc laid my new life on me. “You can’t run anymore. Skiing won’t work. Any jarring sports, dirt biking, snowmobiling, (he didn’t call it snowmachining, he wasn’t from around here), can’t do those. You play basketball?” “In college, now town-team.” “No more basketball.” I went on to clarify, “You don’t mean for good? I don’t have to stop for good? Right?” “Well,” he paused and looked again to the x-ray, “you’re on the fence here, one move and it could be over.” “Over?” I had been waiting for the next sport he listed of sports I should no longer do to be sex. But the more he spoke, the more the tone in the room became ominous, the more I felt like crap, the more it sounded like he was saying I could die from this back thing. Which of course wasn’t true. But the finality of his prescription made it feel that way.

Public meeting on electric grid upgrade Oct. 12 MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Chamber of Commerce will host a public meeting on the smart grid on Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 8 a.m., at the Ilsley Library in Middlebury. The public is invited to attend the event which will include time for questions and discussions. Amanda Beraldi fr om Central V ermont Public Service and Brian Otley from Green Mountain Power will talk about upgrades that ar e bringing greater reliability and operational efficiencies to the electric grid. They will also describe the timeline for installing smart meters on local homes and businesses, which will lead to new opportunities for customers to r educe their carbon footprint and save money on electricity. “Smart grid” r efers to the installation of digital control devices and com-
munication technology throughout the electric grid, which will continuously relay information to utilities about equipment performance, potential or existing outages, electric demand, and usage. This will allow utilities to use power mor e ef ficiently and addr ess problems quickly. The result will be an electric system that is mor e r eliable, makes better use of existing equipment, and will mor e easily be able to integrate small scale renewable energy projects. Over the next two years, about 80 percent of V ermont’s households will have smart meters installed. Smart meters and other tools will eventually allow customers to actively manage their use of ener gy, saving money and r educing demand during the peak periods when utilities r ely on traditional generation sources.
Vermont’s smart grid development project is a r esult of a Department of Energy taxpayer -funding awar d in 2009 to a statewide collaborative of Vermont electric utilities. Over the three-year awar d period, the funding will cover half the cost of system upgrades that will lay the foundation for eventual full deployment of smartgrid technology in Vermont. For more information on the benefits of a fully operational Smart Grid, visit www.greenmountainpower.com and www.cvps.com/ProgramsServices/s martpower/ For mor e information about this presentation and to reserve a seat, contact the Addison County Chamber of Commerce by phone at 802-388-7951, extension 2 or by e-mail at sue@addisoncounty.com.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the opening of Whirlie’s World. Their grand opening will be Satur day, Oct. 15. Whirlie’s World is located at 1232 Exchange St. in Middlebury. Whirlie’s World is owned and operated by Middlebury residents Peter (aka Nerf) and Naomi Nef f. Housed in a large former industrial space, there are a variety of activities that will inter est kids, fr om toddlers and their families up to older teenagers. One area is devoted to a 13-hole mini golf course, but with the twist of playing under black lights and all the holes ar e decorated with glow-in-thedark paint. There are table games such as pool, air hockey and foosball. Arcade games such as skeeball, basketball, racing and shooting will occupy a lar ge portion of the square footage as well. “As a family with six children, aged 15 to 25, we appreciate the need for a safe, fun space for kids to meet their friends or come with their par ents,” said owner Naomi Neff. “We think our largest customer base will likely come from 12 to 18 year olds, but we hope families with younger children will come and play here too.” Peter Nef f has worked at Middlebury Union Middle School for the past seven years and has operated his own mobile disc jockey company for more than 30 years. Naomi Neff has worked at Middlebury College for the past five years.

Christmas year-round at Inn Victoria
Guest Viewpoint War and peace 2 Background: President Obama is dangling “hope” before the American people, luring voters with the lives of their sons and daughters as ransom by promising to bring home 350,000 tr oops just before Election Day 2012. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said his nation's youth will stand up and defend Afghanistan f rom t he Taliban as the U.S. pulls its troops out. Already, the Afghan government is supporting education for girls and women, health car e training, and developing a nationalist army that wants its country free from the Islamofascist Taliban. The T aliban invaded Afghanistan from Pakistan, which is doing little to fight them fr om their end. Once freed from duty in Iraq, our entire r egular military forces and the Afghan Army should fully engage the Taliban, rout them onceand-for-all, and get out. Who flee to Pakistan ar e that country’s problem.
I believe our strategy should be to pr ovide our own Middle Eastern bases, and our allies’, with fulltime massive pr ofessional retaliatory power: the Cold War in a hot place. It’ll send the same message to foes of emerging democracy in the Mid-East as it did to the USSR: I’m not gonna hit ya? I’m not gonna hit ya? I’m not gonna hit ya. That’ll pr ovide fragile democracies major leverage. Leaving a "big stick" regular army military presence at bases in Iraq, among others, will assur e immediate, emphatic response to incursions and terr orism ther e, and to stand r eady to meet Iran’s bur geoning nuclear threat unilaterally, if necessary. “Iran is capable of pr oducing even longer range missiles than the ones it has but won't make them because Israel and U.S. bases are alr eady within its reach,” said Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Iranian Guard's Aer ospace
Force. Are they looking for a fight? Believe it. So, how about we demand a Military Hiring Stimulus Package, incr easing our national security and cr eating r eal jobs by hiring and training members of our r egular armed forces. We must bring our troops to full combat-ready strength to preempt attacks against our population in the War on Terrorism and to give instant, overwhelming support to our allies if needed. Thus, when we fight future politically motivated pocket wars, at least the current pr esident can pr etend to care for the lives of American troops, while rationalizing to himself that they signed up to be at risk 24/7 if necessary and console grieving families with his usual telepr ompter sincerity.

CHESTER — How do two people become the happy owners of a Victorian inn in Southern Vermont? After 30 years of marriage and 25 years of living the corporate life, Dan and Penny Cote finally made the leap to a 30year dr eam of having their own business, specifically a B&B. For years the Cotes asked themselves how to get of f the fast track of corporate life and actually take time to enjoy e ach o ther a nd o ther people. “I believe we have found the balance,” said Dan Cote. “Our two oldest childr en have married and ar e leading successful lives. Our youngest is just now starting school at Norwich University in Northern V ermont. This allows us the opportunity to follow the dream operating our own V ermont bed and breakfast.” In August 2010, Penny and Dan r ecommitted vows through a wedding cer emony on an island in Casco Bay off the coast of Maine. “We invited 50 friends, surprised Penny with a wed-
ding dress, lobster bake and boat ride out to the island,” Dan said. “We had a fantastic time, but most importantly we decided that life together was getting shorter and our time together is more important to us than the corporate life. W e love people, we love serving with a gracious servant's attitude, and we enjoy watching people in our inn smile at the simple pleasur es we ar e able to bring to them.” The Cote’s beautiful V ictorian inn was built cir ca 1850, as a family r esidence for Dr. Abram Lowell (who gave his name to the nearby Lake and State park). He used the small building to the side (now known as Mr . Brown's Cottage) as his medical office. The building was later enlar ged (cir ca 1880) by his son in law , George Hilton, who added the third story and mansard roof in the typical grandiose
French second empir e fashion. Known for many years as the Hilton House, Inn Victoria is the only example of this architectural style in the historic town of Chester. Over the years, Inn Victoria has had many uses other than a family r esidence. It was once a milner ’s, a cartography of fice for the U.S. National Survey , and for many years was unoccupied before of fering V ermont lodging and opening as a bed and br eakfast inn in 1988. Under new ownership since early 2005 and following an intensive renovation, Inn V ictoria is now one of the finest bed and bre akfasts in Vermont. The smart paintwork of purple and buttery yellow draws admiring glances from passers by.

held the Tigers vaunted running game in check for most of the first two quarters. OV actually had a chance to pull even midway thr ough the first quarter after r ecovering a Tiger fumble on the Middlebury 33-yard line. The Otters would moved in side the Middlebury 15, before the Tiger defense stiffened and forced them to turn the ball over on downs. Robinson’s 46-yar d burst pushed the T iger lead to 14-0 early in the second quarter. The Tigers would then added a 25yard scoring strike fr om Tyler Provencher to Nick Felki with 29 seconds left in the quarter to build a 21-0 lead going into the second half. Middlebury would then put the game out of r each scoring the first two times it had the ball in the third quarter. Mitchell Clark capped a 51-yard drive to start the quarter bruising up the middle fr om 14-yar ds out for a touchdown. Jordon Conner then went in from three-yards out on the T igers next of fensive series to help pushed the lead to 35-0. Lance Schu (10 carries 139 yards) got the Otters on the board at the start of the fourth quarter with an 85-yard scoring burst. The Otters, who are 2-2 in Division II fell to 2-3 overall with the loss. The (5-0, 4-0 in Division I) Tigers return to league play this Friday night and will face a huge test taking on BF A St. Al-
bans on the Bobwhites home field. BFA will roll into this one coming of f a 48-0 thrashing of previously unbeaten Champlain Valley Union High. The Bobwhites only loss this season came at the hands of the Hartford High Hurricanes. BFA also lost to Hartfor d in the Division I state championship game last season. Eagles senior quarterback Ian Shaw scored in overtime and the Mount Abe defense held Oxbow Union High on fourth and goal at the two-yar d line as the Eagles posted the heartstopping 20-13 victory. Shaw’s six-yard scamper and Tommy Hodsden’s 89-yar d kick-off r eturn helped the Eagles to take a 13-7 lead in the second half. The visiting Olympians would take the score late in the fourth quarter when Garrett W illis r eturned a blocked punt for a touchdown. With the win the Eagles improved to 2-3 on the season keeping themselves in the hunt for a potential Division III playoff berth. With the loss Oxbow, a pr eseason Division III title contender, saw its record slip to 2-3. GMVS’ Thomas W oolson scored twice and the homestanding Gumbies went on to o r ll to the 3-0 victory against V ergennes. Max Stamley had four saves for (3-1) Gr een Mountain Valley School. Stephan Paquette had four stops for Vergennes.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College scored a season-high five goals on its way to a shutout victory over Colby-Sawyer on Sunday afternoon. The Panthers move to 2-2-2 on the season, while the Charg ers fall to 2-5-1. Middlebury returns to action on Saturday, when they host Wesleyan at 11:00 a.m. Middlebury struck 8:46 into the game when Josh L yvers played a nice chip to Otis Pitney at the 18. Pitney took a quick step and then fired a shot into the top left corner of the net for the 1-0 lead. Ethan Galiette had his shot saved by Will Berry later in the half, with the r ebound squirting to Br ett Brazier, who found the open net for his second of the year at 36:24. Leading 2-0 in the second half, Pitney netted his thir d goal of the season at the 59:01 mark. Tyler Macnee made a short, quick through pass to Pitney, who buried the shot inside the box. Macnee earned a goal of his own just 2:12 later, taking a nice feed from Martin Drolet before fighting off a defender to earn the breakaway goal. Galiette wrapped up the scoring at 76:39, quickly redirecting a shot sent toward the goal by Alvand Hajizadeh. Middlebury held a 29-1 shots advantage in the game, with keeper iTm Cahill forced to make no saves to earn his second shutout of the season.

Equine encephalitis kills 16 emu birds BRANDON —The first case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis has been detected on Ann Breen’s farm in Brandon. Sixteen Australian emu birds died from the deadly disease. It is the second case of the disease r eported in V ermont although the first to be officially documented. Vermont veterinarian Dr. Keely Henderson said the University of New Hampshir e conducted the tissue tests to confirm the EEE infection. Vermont Health Department off icials are now urging residents of Rutland and Addison counties to avoid mosquito bites and use DEET spray. The EEE virus first infects birds, then mosquitoes spread the disease. Humans are not immune. In addition to some birds, EEE can also infect alpacas, donkeys, and llamas. Dr. Henderson said coming hard frosts will help kill local mosquito populations for this season. However , the EEE threat will be of concern in spring 2012 when mosquitoes begin to hatch again.
GOP from page 1 candidacy for local party chair—the Middlebury College student r epresents young people’s growing discontent with the Democrats, the Pr esident Obama, and t heir i nability t o s eriously tackle the nation’s debt crisis. “The future of our party is with young voters,” she said, “and Sydney r epresents that new face. I think she and many other young people recognize our nation is in peril.” Fuqua, a native of T ulsa, Ok., is a political science and economics major at the college. She is chairwoman of the V ermont College Republicans and co-chair, with Katie Earle, of the Middlebury College Republicans. Fuqua became involved in politics in Oklahoma at the age of 9. She was active in the 2000 campaign to elect Geor ge W . Bush as president. “My family is conservative and I am very interested in where we are going as a nation,” she said. Fuqua noted that ex Gov . Jim Douglas, who is a member of the faculty at Middlebury College, is an inspiration to campus Republicans. “I wanted to be in an environment where I knew my views would be challenged, so that’s why I love the college,” she said. Fuqua said students, while mostly liberal in their political views, have been respectful of her rising star as a campus GOPleader. She said their are more students showing interest in the GOP
than in recent years. “Sure I get some negative comments about my views,” she said, “but most of my classmates ar e very accepting of me.” She also said first-year students ar e mor e willing than others to consider Republicans when they vote in the upcoming election. The Vermont Republican Party hopes to make gains in the Vermont House in the next election both over dissatisfaction with national politics and over how state funds are being managed.

Seeing Stars from page 4 effects lunar tr ek—was the r eal, exciting circumlunar mission of NASA’s Apollo 8 cr ew in December 1968. These two events, occurring during the same month, pr ompted Pan Am to get cute and create some business “buzz”. Thus was born the airline’s First Moon Flights Club, a gimmick that indeed cr eated buzz and lur ed thousands of pr ospective Moonbound passengers like me to send away for nifty club membership cards. By submitting your name and mailing address to Pan Am, a First Moon Flights Club member received a color club membership card signed by Pan Am’s Vice Pr esident Jim Montgomery. It all looked so very official—I am sure I was not the only latter -day Barnum “sucker” who believed such Moon trips were just around the corner. (The closest I evergot to the Moon—and Pan Am for that matter—was a 1978 trans At-
lantic flight from New York to Rome on the defunct airline.) Alas, a few of us children of the ‘60s sobered up and discovered that going to the Moon on a lark was no easy undertaking and sending humans into space was not always on the top of Congress’ or the President’s agenda. Space enthusiasts like me also learned that— from LBJ’s “guns and butter” appr oach to expanding the federal government—you can’t simultaneously wage endless wars, pay for an increasing social entitlements, and explor e distant planets. The result of the 1960s experiment in government space policy was that the low-bidder space shuttle, a few people, and clunky r obots—not humans—made it to space, not space nerds like me aboar d a sleek, lunar passenger rocket. Perhaps sending a man in space was always tougher than it looked, but it was a bittersweet lesson learned by a kid with his heads above the clouds.
Logger from page 4 you can.” At this point I think I know what’s ahead for me. The knife. So I ask how long till the back gets better, as if surgery isn’t even on my mind. What I hear is, not necessarily what I want to hear, but also not the worst I thought I could hear. “The severity of the pain could last a couple to a few weeks. I’ll prescribe muscle relaxants, you should get some massage.” “So sex isn’t totally
out?” Even in severe pain, and thoroughly crippled, I try to be the joker. He didn’t laugh. “Do some yoga, and hopefully it’ll come full circle for you. I’ve seen it happen.” “Hopefully? You’ve seen it happen?” “Like I said, you’re on the fence. These things can get worse, stay the same, or get better. One can never tell with backs. But, if you do all the things I suggested, you’ll be giving your back the best chance to heal, and the best case is, you’ll be able to avoid surgery and continue a normal, active life.”
Holy crap. A normal life? I came here to Park City for a film festival to screen a film I have the leading role in, and to ski, and look for Robert Redford, and be discovered, and from one trying turn on a lousy heavy powder run on a moderate slope, I’ve put myself into a situation where my life may no longer be normal? I head straight to a yoga class. To be continued ... Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly.
