Oct. 15, 2011
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Middlebury College’s Solar Decathlon team triumphantly climbed the stage for the second straight day during the final awar ds cer emony for the Department of Ener gy’s 201 1 Solar Decathlon competition. After winning the communications category the previous d ay, M iddlebury claimed fi rst p lace i n t he coveted market appeal category—a victory that ultimately vaulted them to fourth place in the final standings. They moved past competitors Ohio State and Caltech, and wound up just a few points behind thir d-place finisher T eam New Zealand, from V ictoria University in Wellington. The winning team was the University of Maryland, and the runner-up was Purdue University. “Self-Reliance left the jury very impr essed, eclipsing our expectations across the board in livability and marketability ,” said Brad Beeson, market appeal juror. “Middlebury College defined its market carefully—a young family of four with a modest income for the r egion—and demonstrated the fit for that tar get market with a very compelling video.” The team's sense of accomplishment g rew f urther when Addison Godine '1 1, pr oject manager and tea m founder , r eceived the Best Decathlete Award at Satur day's cer emony. Godine was r ecognized for his active participation in the measur ed contests, in-depth under standing o f d ay-to-day team standings, and over all embodiment of the innovative s pirit o f t he d ecathlon. The 10-day competition ended much the way it began—in a chilling wind, under a gunmetal gray sky and clouds that spit rain all day.

McGrath joined the Eagles in 1962 and is currently a member of Addison County Aerie 3801 in Vergennes. The check marks $15 million in donations made by the Eagles since the project began in 2008. A recent study done by researchers at the University of Iowa with funding fr om the Diabetes Resear ch Center has found that ursolic acid, a substance found in apple peel, reduced fat, blood sugar levels, cholesterol and triglycerides in mice and may be useful in treating diabetes. Though the John and Mary Pappajohn Biomedical Discovery Building, futur e home of the Diabetes Research Center, is currently little more than dirt and steel, the center is already making significant medical breakthroughs. Endocrinologist Christopher Adams led the study which found that ursolic acid helped insu lin-like growth factor-1 and insulin, hormones th at he lp to build muscle and pr event muscle atr ophy. Unexpectedly, the study also found that the substance r educed body fat in mice and lower ed blood sugar levels and cholesterol, a key to preventing type-II diabetes.

Jim Douglas calls for balance in Montpelier By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—Former Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas, a resident of Middlebury, was a guest speaker at the recent GOP town caucus held in Middlebury’s Ilsley Public Library. The ex governor , a long-time Republican, spoke about trends in state government as well as the need for er districting in Vermont. Douglas was elected the 80th governor of the Gr een Mountain State in 2002 and was r eelected three times with a majority of the vote. He left the of fice in January 201 1. In August 2009, Douglas announced that he would not seekeelecr tion for a fifth term in 2010. He is curr ently teaching a course in government at Middlebury College, his alma mater. “You can see the r esults of the supermajority in Montpelier—the Democrats—and it’s clear we need balance in government,” Douglas said. “Right no w, Vermont h as o ne p arty g overnment. T hat’s why I am urging Republicans to get the message out about spending and taxes. I truly believe Vermont is better off with two parties checking each other and making for mor e healthy, balanced rule.” Douglas said he hopes plans for re districting move ahead. In this case, he noted, Republicans and Progressives have a common goal—the bring more balanced governing through redrawing voting lines. “Many Republicans won’t believe it, but we do shar e a
common goal with Vermont Progressives—we need to balance government,” the former governor said. Douglas said redistricting is a big job and much is at stake politically. The ef fort is not going out without a fight fr om long-term incumbent Democrat ar eas such as Chittenden and Addison counties. In the case of Vermont’s House, new proposed lines have already been drawn for new voting districts. However , many legislators have balked at the plan. For example, the board passed on a plan offered by former Addison Democrat State Sen. Gerry Gossens back in June. At that time, Gossens wanted districts—like Addison County’s—left alone so as to protect incumbents of his own party. At least under the House redraw plan, several municipalities would be divided such as Barre, Bennington, East Montpelier, Fayston, Franklin, Grand Isle, Hartford, Ira, Lyndon, Milton, Monkton, Morristown, Springfield, St. Albans, St. Johnsbury, Swanton, and Waterbury, Also, in the case of House r edistricting, entir e towns would become new districts such as— Berkshire, Richford and part of Franklin; Bolton, Huntington and part of Waterbury; Cabot, Marshfield and Plainfield; Calais, Woodbury and part of East Montpelier; Danby, Dorset, Peru and Winhall; Eden and Hyde Park; Glover and Barton; Lowell, Albany, Irasburg and Coventry; Highgate and part of Franklin; Jay Westfield and Troy; Johnson and Morristown; Putney and Dummerston.
OTION AUTOM
Rockingham and Westminster; Starksboro, Lincoln and part of Monkton; Stratton, Somerset, Searsbur g, W ilmington, Dover and Wardsboro; Whitingham, Readsboro, Halifax and Marlboro; Wolcott, Craftsbury, Greensboro and Stannard. Even with these changes, it’s uncertain how Douglas’ Republicans would gain since the map for r edistricting Chittenden County—the deciding factor in Vermont elections favoring Democrats—is still being fought over.

From the Editor
Charity begins with a free gift
I
’ll never understand the art of fundraising or the skill of some individuals to successfully solicit donations. Take the many non-profit organizations that give you something for a specified donation amount—like a public T.V. station giving you a gift of a Michael Bernard Beckwith motivational DVD for your money pledge. Many years ago I donated a few dollars to a small, Catholic school in New Mexico. It was doing God’s work by helping provide an education and moral training to young Native American members of the church. I was happy to mail a check for a few dollars to show my support. I hoped my few bucks would at least cover the costs of the mailing appeal (targeted at me) with a little extra for the kids. In the coming months I received more mailings fr om the school: Pens, notepads, calendars, lapel pins, plastic glow-in-thedark crosses, prayer cards, personalized return address labels, and feathered medicine wheel wind chimes. Aside from the fact that all of this stuff was manufactured in China, not by the school childre n, I wondered why it was necessary to send me “free gifts” in the first place? Included with these fr ee gifts wer e wor ds of thanks and appeals to send more money. Of course I have no problem sending the school a few dollars a few times a year to help with its good works, but now I have a top desk drawer at home stuffed with “free gifts.” I have been handing out Pueblo notepads and wind chimes to friends while I place the prayer car ds and the plastic glow-in-the-dark crosses in a small basket at the entrance of a local church. The local chur ch, r ecognizing the same bounty of “fr ee gifts” r eceived by its parishioners donating to various church charities—yes, even my favorite Indian school—has a basket for chur chgoers in which to clean out their desk drawers. In the little basket you’ll find unblessed rosaries, holy cards with pictures of saints, mini prayer books and yes, even a few of those plastic glow-in-the-dark crosses. Why is it that fundraisers feel folks won’t
donate money if they don’t r eceive something in return? Shouldn’t charity be a oneway street? Maybe charity does involve a little selfishness now and then—like the fact that giving something to those in need can make the giver feel good, even useful. But if giving is predicated only by what the giver receives, then I think we’ve missed the point. I don’t fault the Indian school for mailing me trinket wind chimes and ultra-thin notepads, but I do wonder why its fundraisers spend the school’s hard -to-find money for such manipulative trinkets? I know somewhere scientific data exists that shows that people ar e mor e likely to donate money to a non-profit organization or cause if they get something ineturn. r But I’d like to believe that, perhaps naively, this just isn’t so—that people like me actually donate money or volunteer time for the simple joy of giving and sharing personal bounty with others. Even the idea that some donations to charities ar e tax deductible appears to turn the entire process into something like a tawdry business transaction. Perhaps this kind of reciprocity was always the foundation of charitable giving? Psychologists Anthony Pratkanis and Elliot Aronson, in their book titled “The Age of Propaganda: Everyday Use andAbuse of Persuasion,” write that “the norm of r eciprocity is successful as a persuasion device because it directs our thoughts and carries its own motivation to act on those thoughts. We are directed to think ‘How can I r epay my obligation?’ as opposed to ‘Is this a good deal?’ Our primary motivation is to avoid the uneasy feeling that comes from transgressing the norm.” So my obligation is to r epay the r eceipt of notepads and glow-in-the-dark crosses? Admitting that Pratkanis and Aronson are likely correct in their assessment of the underlying motivations of reciprocity, it still doesn’t scratch the surface of why I personally feel good about sending a small Indian school in New Mexico a few dollars more.

ultural anthropologists –even dissertation-subject-seeking grad students—haven’t yet analyzed the fairly-recently-evolved Fourth Estate tribe of media commentators, both print and (new mutation) electronic. When they do, they’ll find at least a couple of clans, identifiable by presentation style. Members of the larger group make their points with a lot of assertion and not much proof, while those in the smaller group choose the alternate option. If you’re well-known, like erstwhile presidential speechwriter Peggy Noonan, you can take the easier (believe-me-because-I’m-famous) route, as she did in several recent pieces partially about contemporary credibility shrinkage in various levels of governance, where she made her arguments in well-crafted but fact-deprived paragraphs. Noonan’s focus was more zeitgeist than sachlich, more mood than fact or quote. Those of us in the minority clan need to be more specific, so here are three examples. One is the Federal Reserve, another is the Environmental Protection Agency, and the third is a remarkably matched (well, on one specific subject, anyway) pair of state governors in Tennessee and Vermont. First (if ranked for hubris-in-the-face-ofhistory) is the Frederic Mishkin op-ed (he’s
Reasons to die
A
fatal disease can be hereditary or grow from your environment or come from another person—or none of the above. Death from disease can be inexplicable; there’s a pretty good chance we can learn over time to accept that that’s just how the chips fell. The driver was drunk, the brakes went out, the murderer was high—vengeful and insane might all be used to explain the cause of death from a crash or at the hands of another soul. We won’t easily accept any of those reasons for dying, but there is a small chance we might be able to understand why the death occurred. It’s a triple devastating mess and shame when someone young dies from a car crash or murder or disease or tragic mishap. When someone young, or any age, takes his or her own life, it’s an infinite shame. No one knows why the young boy took his life. He was barely driving age; he was vital, he flourished, he was “a balanced boy”. He had good grades in school and lots of friends. I didn’t know the boy, I know his folks only to say hello to, but I’m part of the boy’s community. For the next while we can only tilt our heads, shrug and utter, in hushed tones, the words “what a shame” as we try to find answers to who, what, where and why, the boy took his life. We’d have better luck finding an eyelash in the sea. As I said, I didn’t know the boy, but I dreamt about him and his family. If he knew he had that strong an influence
an economics prof and ex-fed governor) in the Wall Street Journal of Sept. 29, wherein his complaint is the header: “Politicians are threatening the fed’s independence”. In mid-piece there’s this quote, “…Keeping inflation stable requires that long-term expectations of inflation stay anchored in both directions, neither rising nor falling.” Indeed, that was has been the Fed’s prescribed-by-Congress job at first, only, and now primary since its founding in 1913. His argument is that “…Rs and Ds both want to weaken the Fed’s independence…” to accomplish that monetary goal. So how well has the fed actually done in the past 98 years? The answer can be read on the Economic History website where there’s a calculator labeled “Measuring Worth.” See MARTIN HARRIS, page 8
on people, maybe he wouldn’t have taken his life? Or, maybe that’s why he did. It’s been a few years since the boy’s death and I’ve spent more time thinking about him than anything else, except perhaps at Christmas time. Christmas is a powerful spirit and I love it; it’s the time of year we mark for pursuit of an all-out assault on joy and happiness. Writing my columns I normally have to hold way back to finish under the editor ’s prescribed word count. With this column, I’ve repeated the same theme several times. I’ve searched my brain for ways to bring layers to my subject but have come up with only one theme: confusion. My dad spent the last 13 months of his 93.5 years of life in a nursing home, bent up, incontinent, unable to walk, and mired in a deep foggy dementia. Through it all he spoke with passion, ate like a lumberjack, and moved his arms (the only things he could move), with conviction and power. The last time I left dad’s room, I bent over him and told him I’d see him tomorrow. He was hunched down to the side of his bed, gasping for breath, struggling to live, but he still tried to answer me. To the absolute finish, dad kept his will. Suicide disturbs the type of will my dad had—just long enough to prevail. How and why, I don’t know. No one does. I am still confused.

Some FEMA disaster recovery centers closing By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.co m HANCOCK—FEMA’s mobile disaster assistance team rolled into Hancock Oct. 4 for a few days. The mobile team, which includes a Small Business Administration customer service r epresentative, set up operations in Hancock Town Hall until the end of last week. Chris Pettit, FEMA manager, said his team was there to pr ovide assistance to those Addison County residents, living along the r emote Route 100 corridor , who experienced flood damage Aug. 28. Some of Pettit’s team members have been in V ermont long befor e T ropical Storm Irene hit; in fact, the communications specialists have been her e since the spring flooding crisis. “It is not necessary for Vermonters affected by Tropical Storm Irene to visit a center in or der to r eceive
disaster assistance. In fact, people with storm-r elated losses are encouraged to register with FEMA befor e visiting a center,” Pettit said. Pettit also said disaster assistance comes in many forms. In the case of SBA customer service representative Patrick Doyle, he’s ther e to provide low interest loans to business and home owners. “Many people think the SBA provides emer gency loans just to business,” Doyle said. “W e can help owners of businesses and homes.” The experience of a flood victim walking in cold to a FEMA mobile emer gency center is made as painless as possible. “You come in, sit down at one of our telephones and quickly set up an account,” Pettit said. “That information is immediately used to create a database that appears on your computers immediately. Next you sit down with one of our r eps
and we get the ball rolling.” Help can come in many ways. Survivors must meet with a FEMA person to learn how the agency can help. “We’re here to help,” said Pettit. “That’s why we’r e in business.” Regarding Vermont’s fixed-site disaster r ecovery centers, they will now be open Mo nday t hrough S aturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you need help, r egister by calling toll-fr ee 800- 621FEMA 3362, online at www.DisasterAssistance.go v.

Marble Works gains new business By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury’s Marble W orks is the perfect “shopping mall” for this small Addison County community. The former 19th-century marble stone processing mill is now a growing locale for small businesses that like the ambiance and ample parking spaces. Add the Marble W orks’ newest member, Otter Creek Used Books at 99 Maple St. The popular used bookseller—a favorite destination for Middlebury College students and others—just completed the move from its former location to Marble Works district. Owner Barbara Har ding purchased the old Poor Richard’s Book Store in 2006 and believes its new Marble Works incarnation will better serve local customers. “I moved to be more accessible to and for my customers and that includes better parking and having
Kelley Mills from page 1 Regarding her curr ent job in secondary education, Mills said her favorite motto is, simply, “Respect goes a long way in the classroom.” Students and fellow faculty at the Hannaford Center concur that when it comes to Mills’ motto, she certainly practices what she preaches—it also explains why Mills er ceives, in return, the same level of respect from her peers, students, and the community at large. “I love working with high school students in a setting where they choose to be,” she said. “Our students want to be in the Career Center learning from instructors who share a common passion in a trade or pr ofession. It’s ener gizing and inspiring. We truly make a difference in the lives of Addison County’s young people.”

all the books located on one floor,” Harding said. “Being in the Marble W orks met both my goals, but the unexpected perk is being part of a cooperating group of businesses who support each other. Ther e is a definite community within the Marble Works and one I've expe-
rienced many times in my short time here.” Otter Creek Used Books, a member of the Addison County Chamber of Commerce, is located behind the blue awning between Costello’s Market and Vites and Herbs.

Martin Harris from page 4
If you plug in $1 and 1913, and ask for the 2010 equal in purchasing power you’ll see $22.70. That a 96 percent shrinkage under Fed management. He writes, “…the Fed’s policy-making has contributed to an environment in which inflation has fallen and has remained remarkably stable…” but to argue that the fed has used its 98year “independence” skillfully invites charges of a credibility gap, does it not? Second (first if ranked for hubris-in-theface-of-logic) is the EPA’s formal complaint against Kansas feedlot operator Michael Callicrate for his failure to store hay, a “pollutant”, in accordance with hazardous-materials-storage rules. When did “hay” become a hazardous material? EPA doesn’t say, not on its website and not in the complaint. The EPA has found the beef-feeder guilty of violating rules against “polluting the waters of the U.S.” which suggests that its highly-skilled ag experts may have con-
fused low-moisture hay with high-moisture silage, some of which exudes small amounts of leachate during fermentation. To defend EPA in this regulatory instance invites charges of a credibility gap, does it not? Third (first if ranked for hubris-in-the face-of-reason) are the reactions of most state governors to the inability (or unwillingness?) of their state education departments to bring their public school students to proficiency-at-grade-level by 2014, a decade-old federal requirements (yes, Virginia, there are strings attached to “free” money) as they all did, under normal expectations, back when promotion to the next grade was conditioned on demonstrated proficiency in the last grade. The guv’ are now condemning, variously, the No Child Left Behind Legislation—the specific federal tests (which have been in place, but ignored until recently, since 1969) on which scores have been flat (at the 2/3 failure level) ever since, and testing in general on the supposed grounds that “mere testing doesn’t really illustrate all
the ineffably wonderful things we’re doing with only four times the spending and half the class size we had then”. Two examples: Gov. Shumlin opines against the tests thus: “The one-size-fits-all requirements and sanctions imposed by NCLB result in derogatory labels and punitive sanctions demoralizing to students, teachers, principals, and families” as if expecting schools to inculcate competency in basic reading and math were (subjunctive contrary to fact) totally unreasonable, and worse: esteem-damaging. Tennessee Gov. Haslam opines in similar vein, arguing for “…The federal government narrowing its role and allowing Tennessee the flexibility to abide by its own rigorous standards.” Those would be the TCAP tests, designed to show “proficiency”, in Grade 8 reading for example, with a score equal to 210 on the federal NAEP, which sets Basic (that’s below proficient, for readers in East Overshoe) at the 245out-of-500 level. To seek waivers from the pretty easy tests your kids can’t (in some few cases, won’t) pass, when it’s your and
their jobs to arrive at that admittedly limited achievement level, invites charges of a credibility gap, does it not? Here’s my closing question: Is governmental credibility, at any of the above levels, worse than it was in the maybe-mis-remembered days of yore? There was 1.) the Kennedy missile gap which won him an election and a destiny in Dallas, 2.) the eventual revelation that Alger Hiss was—denials-at-the-time notwithstanding—spying for the Soviets, 3.) the Teapot Dome oil scandal of the 1920s and 4.) the far larger railroad-building scandals of the 1870s, all of which far outweigh a single mere Solyndra (or multiple greencrony reiterations) or such easy-target assertions as the recent three outlined above. Maybe the practical demonstrated answer, for which neither Noonan nor your Humble Scribe can furnish is that the term credible politician is, in these post-Jeffersonian times, an oxymoron. In the game of poker, three-of-a kind is better than some alternatives. In contemporary politics, that’s easy to seek but hard to find.

Perfect weather for Bristol Jamfest By Alice Dubenetsky
newmarketpress@denpubs.com BRISTOL—Bright azur e skies and golden orange foliage set the scene for the 10th annual Jamfest Soccer Tournament on the playing fields of Mount Abraham Union High School. Eighty-five teams fr om twelve area towns, ranging in age from preschool to sixth grade, competed in a minimum of three games each. The event is sponsored by the Starksboro Sports Program whose organizers estimated that ther e wer e over 2,000 players and spectators pr esent. There were no prizes or awards to be won – it was all for the fun of the game a nd e njoyment o f a s plendid Indian Summer Saturday. Family and friends of the players
crowed the sidelines and all of the nearby lots were overflowing. The event was free to participants with funds raised solely fr om food sales and sponsorships. Over 36 businesses, large and small, donated money and pr oducts to help make the day a success. Or ganizers wer e pleased to report that they had made a total of $5,000 — funds that will go toward equipment and impr ovements and maintenance of Starksboro’s Cota Playing Field. “This takes a str ong group of volunteers and we ar e pr oud of the Starksboro Sports Program community to have this large group of people work on the event for weeks beforehand,” said Don McCormick, coordinator o f t he S tarksboro S ports Program.
