newmarketpress@denpubs.com ADDISON—You may not know it, but two weeks ago, workers completed installation of a high-tech, fiber-optic cable on the new Lake Champlain Bridge. The new cable, not visible at a casual glance, will r evolutionize electronic data transmission services in the gr eater Champlain Valley region when completed in late 2012.

The $39.7 million, 1,300mile network is being built

by Albany, N.Y.-based Ion HoldCo and is being installed in portions of western V ermont, New York and Pennsylvania. The big Digital Age infrastructure project is ahead of budget and on schedule, at least according to Ion officials.

According to industry reports, the cable is expected to be connected to the Burlington infrastr ucture while another line will be extended across the terrain linking Whitehall, N.Y., and Rutland, Vt., next year.

This new line will eventually pr ovidebroadband access to schools, homes and business; it will also increase data capacity for local telephone companies and wir eless carriers. It’s then their job to r esell these services to a variety of customers, according to Jim Becker of Ion Holdco said.

“Ion’s big growth area is wireless technology ,” Becker said. “We're part of the towers built for the cell providers.”

According to Ion’s website, the new cable will transport voice, video, and broadband services in the following ways: see HIGH-TECH CABLE, p. 14

newmarketpress@denpubs.com ADDISON—VIPs and pedestrians rush acr oss the new Lake Champlain Bridge immediately following the ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 7.

The $76 million span, which began construction in June 2010, links New York and Vermont.

The new bridge r eplaces the original 1929 span and include wider vehicular lanes, high-intensity, energy efficient lighting, walkways and bicycle lanes.

While lower in height than the original bridge, the new str ucture is expected to last longer due to its modular design; workers will be able to r eplace old segments with new parts in the decades ahead.

First across: the first bicycles across the new Lake Champlain Bridge were Sue Rand (second from right) and her staff from Sojourn Bicycle Tours of Vermont. The bridge, which links Vermont and New York, has both walkways and bicycle lanes—a big boon to regional cycle tourism, said Rand.

“We defended the Division I title this year,” said Hartford’s Bell, “We defended it successfully and it feels real great—I’d say better than even last year.”

The Tigers were the no. 3 seed this year and wer e clearly understaf fed considering the Hurricanes total offense yar dage totaled 444 to the Tigers’ 88. Even the Championship game’s rushing totals tell the tale of Hartford’s power: Hartford 362, Middlebury 22.

November 19, 2011

Two months later, Irene cleanup continues BERLIN—The post-Ir ene mobile home demolition and r emoval task for ce, organized by Lt. Gov . Phil Scott (R) and Secr etary of Commerce and Community Development Lawrence Miller (D), started work early this morning at W eston’s Mobile Home Park. By 1:30 p.m. Oct. 31, the work cr ew was starting on demolishing their thir d home and delivering a "clean slate" to r esidents who are anxious to get on with their lives after the flood.

A total of 20 homes at Weston's were slated for demolition thr ough the pr ogram, which has worked over the last two months to substantially r educe the cost of r emoval by lining up several homes in the same locations for on-site demolition. Individual mobile home disposal typically involves tr ucking the unit out of the park and can cost upwards of $3,500.

Five of the 20 homes slated for demolition at W eston's contain asbestos in the flooring, so asbestos-certified contractors will be r emoving those materials later this week before demolition begins on that gr oup of homes.

Asbestos r emediation is expected to add an estimated $1,500-$2,500 to the cost of r emoval of each af fected

Irene cleanup continues: Vermont Lt. Gov. Phil Scott (left) with Richard Wobby of AGC/Vermont (center) and Housing Commissioner Jen Hollar. home. If the same ratio of asbestos-affected homes seen at Weston's (25%) holds up in other parks ar ound the state, the task for ce anticipates a cost incr ease of as much as $60,000 for asbestos remediation in af fected homes throughout the state, and another $40,000 for asbestos testing of all of the mobile homes scheduled for demolition through the project.

“It’s been our goal fr om the beginning to offer this service free of charge to mobile home owners,” said Chris Graf f of the V ermont Long Term Disaster Recovery G roup. F acing a n ad ditional total need of$100,000plus, the gr oup has a lot of fundraising to do.

“The gr eat thing her e is how quickly things are moving,” said Graf f. “The bad news is that we need to raise a lot more money to meet the

unmet needs from Irene,” of which asbestos-affected mobile homes is just one example.

Christopher Kauf fman-Ilstrup of the V ermont Community Foundation, which has s et u p a s eparate f und specifically to help mo bile home owners with their post-Irene needs, encouraged Vermonters to donate online at www .vtfloodresponse.org.

After demolition at W eston's is complete—hopefully within two weeks—the task force will head to Patterson Mobile Home Park in Duxbury, wher e 13 homes are slated for demolition, and to W oodstock, wher e 4 mobile homes await removal. All of those homeowners have completed the FEMA grant process.

Ripton camp robbed RIPTON—On Nov. 8, a bur glary to a hunting camp in Ripton was r eported to the V ermont State Police. Police believe that the bur glary occurr ed sometime in the last four weeks. The camp is located at 1999 Natural u Trnpike Road.

The owner of the camp, Michael Lefebvr e of Milton, told police that he arrived at the camp that morning to find for ced entry made to the camp, a tool shed, a R.V . trailer and a separate two story garage.

Lefebvre is reporting that several thousand dollars of items were stolen. Items included a 2004 Polaris Ranger 500 UTV green in color, a log splitter, a welder, air compressor, various tools, a ladder tree stand, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, a television set, and other items.

Tire tracks of a smaller vehicle wer e observed on the grass around the property. Two separate foot tracks were also observed in the garage; one, of a work boot, and the other of a tennis sneaker . The Polaris Ranger UTV was driven from the property towards Ripton. The incident is under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact VSP at 802-388-4919.

“I've worked hard to represent the interests of the people in Addison County, and I look forwar d to continuing that work,” she said. “I'm especially proud of the work on the Champlain Bridge.”

Lanpher played a leadership role in securing the funds to rebuild the bridge, and in providing $800,000 in financial assistance to businesses adversely af fected by the bridge closure.

“There’s so much more work to do,” she said. “We have to fix and rebuild many Vermont roads and bridges.”

Following Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) after the Lake Champlain Bridge opening cer emony Nov. 7, Lanpher was the first member of the Vermont House to cross the new $76 million span.

The blue barrier

S

omewhere, way up there, Earth’s beautiful pale blue sky transitions to deep blue, then to the coal black of outer space. Depending upon which source you choose to reference, this area of our upper atmosphere is sometimes called the “blue barrier.”

Let’s start with a question parents of young childr en often t ry t o t ackle: W hy i s the sky blue and not r ed or green?

Well, the short answer to this complex question is that the sky’s blue color is the re sult of scatter ed of light in the lower atmospher e. But light scattering doesn’t mean only the color blue is visible. There’s also the scat-

tering of light that causes the stunning reds of sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico as viewed from a Florida beach.

The phenomenon of light scattering is technically known as Rayleigh scattering and the physics of it are not easy to grasp.

This an ideal question to check in my V an Nostrand’s Scientific Encyclopedia (a very handy reference tool to have on your desk for any person interested in science). The book’s board of science editors have defined the complexity of Rayleigh scattering in simple terms:

CHIMNEY SWEEP

“As light ener gy incr eases, wavelengths at the blue end of the spectr um, wher e energy is the highest, ar e scattered preferentially. The sunlight r eaching our eyes has a high ratio of short, bluish wavelengths compared to medium and long wavelengths, so we per ceive the sky as being blue...”

As you rise in altitude in an aircraft or spacecraft through the atmosphere, gas molecules become fewer and fewer and so the ef fect of Rayleigh scattering of sunlight lessens.

Eventually, at an altitude of 5 0 mi les o r m ore a bove the ground, the sky deepens in color with blue fading to deep blue, to—finally— black. The blue barrier transition is not well defined.

And even where the sky may appear black to a space traveller speeding to orbit, it does not mean there is no atmosphere.

Space agencies such as NASA and the Eur opean Space Agency (ESA) define the boundary of space very differently than the U.S. Air Force.

NASA defines outer space as starting at 62 miles, ESA at 74 miles, and theAir Force at 50 miles. That’s why the X-15 research program military pilots reaching 50 miles in altitude wer e awar ded coveted astr onaut wings by the Air For ce and civilian (NASA) pilots wer e not—at least until 2005. (NASA made an exception and awarded astronaut status to three of its pilots almost 40 years after the fact.)

In the NASA, ESA and USAF examples, this “boundary” is essentially arbitrary; in fact, space-like conditions ar e encounter ed well below 50 miles in altitude.

Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., was a science writer at the NASA Ames Resear ch Center . He is currently involved with the NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador por gram in Vermont and is the aer ospace education director of the V ermont W ing of the Civil Air Patr ol, the civilian a uxiliary o f t he U .S.

To the editor: Wind energy does very little to r educe CO 2 emissions because wind is variable and intermittent. When wind ener gy ebbs, quick-ramping gas turbines have to ramp up their outputs and when wind ener gy sur ges they have to ramp down their outputs to maintain supply and demand balance on the grid. This happens about 100 to 200 times per day. Try driving your car that way.

Such operation is very inefficient for gas turbines r equiring mor e fuel/kWh and causing more CO 2 emissions/kWh. These emissions mostly offset the what wind energy was meant to reduce. There are four recent studies, based on r eal-time, quarter -hour operations data of the Colorado, Texas, Irish and Dutch grids, that all prove minimal fuel and CO 2 reduction due to wind energy.

Why ar e Vermont's r enewables oligar chs, such as Wolfe, Blittersdorf, Shumlin, State Rep. Klein, etc., project developers, and tax-shelter financiers doing this? Because federal and state subsidies provide cash grants and tax shelters for the top 1-2 percent of households, while all other Vermont households and businesses find

the costs of this expensive, envir onmentallyharmful, noisy boondoggle hidden in their electric rates.

Gaz-Metro, Quebec, Canada, gets $44 million in federal subsidies, plus additional state subsidies, Denmark's Vestas provides the wind turbines, out-of-state companies er ect the wind turbines, Vermonters ge t a f ew jo bs, a h uge, noisy eyesore, environmental damage, and expensive energy.

Rep. Klein, whose technical education in energy systems analysis is negligible, is pushing for Vermont to have 100 percent renewable energy by 2050; that is even mor e irrationally exuberant than the Germans.

Renewables fr ont or ganizations, with benign-sounding names, financed by vendors, etc., invite Germans to Vermont during foliage season, so they will be sure to come, to pontificate about how great Germany is doing. Go to the Internet and Google opposition to wind energy in Germany and Denmark; there are thousands of responses.

Vermonters needs to vote Shulman et al. out of office before he leads Vermont down a slippery slope from which there will be no r eturn.

He won by a hair, he can be ousted by a hair.

Storytellers meet at Ilsley Public Library

Shelburne co. wins EPA award

By Lou Varricchio & Dave Deegan

newmarketpress@denpubs.com SHELBURNE—A computer -mapping program that lets you calculate your carbon footprint—developed by a company in Shelburne—was r ecently r ecognized in a national challenge by the U.S. Envir onmental Protection Agency.

Hootroot, developed by Brighter Planet, was given the overall runner-up award in EPA’s Apps for the Environment challenge, which encourages the development of innovative environmental applications.

The mapping pr ogram pr ovides dir ections and carbon footprints for driving, transit, flight, and human-power ed transportation options on any route.

According to Brighter Planet’s website, Hootroot “helps you navigate ef ficiently from point A to point B” and is powere d by web services from Brighter Planet, Google Maps, and HopStop.

Data for the footprint calculations comes from the EPA’s U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory and eGRID database, as well as fr om other sources. As a web app, it requires no installation.

Hootroot was one of five winners in EPA’s challenge, which aimed to engage the software developer community to cr eate new and innovative uses of EPA’s data to addr ess envir onmental and public health issues. Applications covered a range of topics such as local air quality, contaminants in fish, and games to learn environmental facts.

This is another link in that long chain.”

“We are witnessing a revolution in finding ways to harness massive am ounts of data to empower individuals, companies and governments to make smarter decisions,” said Andy Rossmeissl, the lead designer on HootRoot. “The EPA has emerged as a leader in the push for opening government data and engaging the developer community in creating apps that are innovative as well as user- friendly. This competition really showcases these efforts and we are very honor ed to be among the winners.”

From the Editor

Power to the people

I

t may have taken 752 days, but it was well worth the wait to cross the new Lake Champlain Bridge last week.

Built in record time (at least by 2011 standards), the new bridge cost $76 million. It sports “modular” technology that will enable upgrades and it supports a new, high-tech fiber optic cable that will improve Internet connections from Burlington to Rutland. This digital infrastructure—carried by the new bridge across the lake—will help spur jobs in the region in the coming years. And all indications are that the new bridge will serve the region for at least 75-80 years (or more) to come.

At the official bridge opening Nov. 7, Vermont and New York officials—including Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) and New York Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy (D)—as well as other local leaders, deservedly praised the various parties involved in making the bridge a reality. They also rightfully thanked former Gov. Jim Douglas (R) and Gov. David Paterson (D) for getting the ball rolling.

Now that we’re basking in the ecstacy of the new bridge, let’s not forget the agony endured by local commuters and business owners during those nightmare 752 days. The lack of a bridge took a terrible toll with shuttered businesses and vanished jobs in its wake.

Lisa Couture, owner of the Bridge Restaurant in Addison, located a few hundred yards from the Vermont entrance to the span, was one of the early voices in making sure officials listened to local people.

Today, so many of our elected and appointed officials have condescending attitudes, as if they know better when it comes what to eat, what to drive, even how to vote. Yet, in story after story, they demonstrate just how clueless they can be.

Couture inspired others to speak out, too.

In short order, new community leaders

emerged like Lorraine Franklin. She and others, including Rep. Diane Lanpher (D) of Vergennes, spurred public meetings that got officials to commit to rebuilding the bridge on the original 1929 footings— not at the Ticonderoga-Shoreham narrows as first thought. Our local, vocal citizenry also spurred the move to have residents select the final bridge design.

On the day the new bridge opened for traffic, Couture reflected on the painful timeline leading up to Nov. 7. She didn’t want any of us to forget it; we sure won’t.

“On July 3, 2009, the old Lake Champlain Bridge went down to one-lane traffic at 2 p.m.

“On Oct. 8, there was a public meeting held at the Addison Central School telling the community that the bridge would be reopened to two-lane traffic again by the end of October.

“Then, two weeks later, on Oct. 16, the bridge closed at 1:36 p.m. to all traffic— you couldn’t even walk across it.

“On Dec. 28, the bridge was imploded—demolished—at 10 a.m.

“On Feb. 1, 2010, ferry service started.

The maiden voyage with the Cumberland took off from Vermont shores at 5 a.m. It was a total of 108 days with no connection to this corridor.

“And as of Nov. 7, 2011, opening day of the new bridge, it had been 752 days with no bridge.”

As we celebrate the new Lake Champlain Bridge let’s remember the costly sacrifices that went into its construction.

“No pain, no gain” is a catchy phrase often heard in the personal development field. Well, it can now be applied to the bridge building process as well.

Thank you, Lisa, Lorraine, and Diane— and others on both sides of the lake; thank you for being our voice during this difficult process.

The long nightmare is over. We’re joined at the bridge again.

Shock is good for the body

I

am fresh from the back doctor—who had recommended that I go straight to a studio and do some yoga.

I’ve arrived, a not-sofresh concise patient, barely able to walk into said yoga studio in Park City, Utah.

The Park City studio was full of yoga mamas so fit and tight and ThreeWay Rich (Three-Way Rich, is a term I coined that means, they come from money, they married money, and if they get divorced, they’ll settle for more money; by the way, I don’t begrudge them a cent), they probably don’t expel gas, even when liberally splayed in the yoga downward dog position.

I’m 44 and it’s the first time I’ve been to a yoga studio; the first time I’ve been eyeto-eye with a women who is Three-Way Rich, good-looking (especially compared to where I come from). Three-Way Rich women. I like it.

I’m lying on the floor of the yoga studio, in such pain I can’t hear, and my vision is foggy. Well, I don’t actually feel any pain, because I’m in shock. But I don’t realize I’m in shock, ‘cause, shock is sneaky; it hides itself at the same time it’s hiding the rest of your pain and emotions.That’s shock’s deal, and it’s a good deal—we can all thank God for it.

But the odd thing about the shock I’m in at the yoga studio is, it’s coming from what seemed to be a minor back tweak (it occurred from pulling my ski tips up out of some moderately heavy Utah powder).

Should I be in shock because of that? You go into shock after a car accident or from a broken femur or after cutting off your finger, not from tweaking your back—shock from an injury you can’t see or explain?

What a blessing shock is.

Can you imagine it? Your body, upon experiencing severe physical and or emotional pain, realizes your normal everyday body functions can’t handle it; so the body freaks itself out to the point that it refuses to assimilate information. I do not understand the human body. I’am bedazzled by it.

Shock: one of the thousands of amazing features our bodies offer, all for free.

You do not want to frig around with a bad back.

Bad neck, hip, knee, shoulder—I’m sure they’re all body parts that when injured can keep you from attending the Halloween party, but, you get a bad lower back mister bubby Jones, you’re not well at all. You’re not well in the back, but more interestingly and surely, you’re not well in the head.

Here again I believe shock comes in handy, because, the ski-tip pull injury to my lower back didn’t even begin to loosen up for three and a half years, and the reason I think I was able to keep going in life was because I think there was a very low level shock present in my body the entire time.

For three, nearly four years, my back pained me so that I couldn’t and didn’t drive for more than 20 minutes at a stretch without stopping, getting out, and stretching, often right on the side of the road. I didn’t go to the movie theatre for three years, and when I did, I went to my local theatre whose owners let me lay down in back of the theatre once the movie had started. I’d lay on the ground anytime, anywhere, and stretch fully, and I do that 15 times a day.

Sitting was the worst thing for my back, and I rarely ate at a restaurant for those three and a half years, cause most of the seating in restaurants is hard, and I’d sweat bullets from the pain in my back was sending my way.

You know what? You know what? I’m lost on this entry of my weight loss story.

I’m sitting here writing on this too-earlydark, fall evening, wondering how I’m going to get from when I hurt my back in 2000, to the point eight full years later when I was sure the back had healed itself and I started to lose the weight. And, why or how does a back injury have anything to do with weight loss nearly a decade later anyway?

Well, I’ll tell you if you hang in there See LOGGER, page 15

Hundreds cross Lake Champlain Bridge on Day 1

By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com CROWN POINT , N.Y . — Hundreds of people lined up to cross the new $76 million Lake Champlain Bridge Monday , Nov. 7 — bicyclists, walkers, runners and, finally, the motorists.

First they had to get past New York Lt. Gov. Robert Duf fy, V ermont Gov . Peter Shumlin and a group of VIPs giving speeches and cutting a golden ribbon. Once the hour-long cer emony was over , ar ound 3:30 p.m., the podium was r emoved, the white chairs stacked against the guard rail, and the crowds str eamed acr oss the bridge to V ermont.

It had been more than two years since the 1929 bridge closed her e on Oct. 16, 2009.

Commuters and visitors had to take a fr ee ferry to get between Cr own Point, N.Y. and Addison, Vt. when the service opened on Feb. 1, 2010. The loss of the old bridge was described multiple times as “an inconvenience.”

While politicians lamented the old bridge — r emembered well by mor e than a dozen ’29ers who had been at the original Aug. 26, 1929 bridge opening — Nov. 7, 2011 was the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Lake Champlain.

“I want to point out that this is day one,” said Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh. “We’re going to count forward from here.”

The concept of linking the two states with a new bridge was a common theme among the speakers.

“When I looked out, as I was coming today, I saw the hands of the community , of the state of New York and the federal government r eaching out to one another to bring New York and V ermont back together again,” Owens said.

While some spoke of the bridge as a metaphor — connecting the common values of V ermonters and New Yorkers in the Champlain Valley — others described it as a transportation link essential to the everyday lives of residents.

“It’s mor e than concr ete and steel,” said New York Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, R-Willsboro. “It is the link that the North Country has to the closest trauma unit, and many ambulances run back and forth across this bridge.”

Between Oct. 16, 2009 and Feb. 1, 2010, people had to drive ar ound the old bridge site to get to the other side, a commute of more than 100 miles for work, hospital visits, vacations, etc. While the absence of a bridge was a barrier, the presence of a bridge is being seen as a step toward normalcy.

“It’s a place wher e fir e companies r un back and forth between Addison, Vt. and Crown Point and conversely fr om Addison to help each other,” Sayward said. “It’s farmers who have to cro ss this bridge to feed their cattle and to get their crops. It’s people traveling into New England, it’s New Englanders traveling into New York ... Today, your life begins again.”

Shumlin marveled at the speed of the bridge’s construction.

“This is the best example of government serving people and getting things done that you’ll find anywhere in the nation,” Shumlin said.

Duffy concurred.

“If you were to turn on the media and the news tonight and any story on any given day, you hear about what’s wrong with government. You hear all the bad things that are going on in this world,” Duffy said. “And today, we get to celebrate what is right ... to be where we ar e today in literally two years’ time is nothing short of a miracle.”

Other speakers included New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald; Sue Minter, deputy secretary of the V ermont Agency of T ransportation; Vermont State Rep. Diane Lanpher , DVergennes; Jonathan McDade, New York division administrator for the Federal High-

way Administration; Karen Hennessy (New York) and Lorraine Franklin (V ermont), cochairs of the Lake Champlain Bridge Community; Cr own Point T own Supervisor Bethany Kosmider; and New York Sen. Betty Little, R-Queensbury.

“I don’t know that you can have a better bridge,” Little said.

The new Network T ied Arch Bridge is a steel structure with an arch along the center span. It was designed by Ted Zoli and built

by Flatir on Constr uction. The bridge’s design makes it safer than the pr evious structure and will ensure at least a 75-year service life. Key bridge components are designed to be easily replaceable to reduce maintenance costs. Travel lanes ar e 11 feet wide, with 5foot shoulders that will help accommodate larger tr ucks and farm vehicles, as well as provide ample r oom for bicyclists. Sidewalks ar e featur ed on both sides of the bridge.

Tours of Charlotte, Vt. Owner Sue Rand said the bridge’s bicycle lanes ar e a vital asset to bicycle tourism on both sides of Lake Champlain.

“This bridge is a tr emendous asset to the r egion,” Rand said. “Now it’s a tr emendous asset to the bicycle tourism.

It’s a big business in Vermont, and it’s gr owing. This is so cool, and we’re thrilled to be the first cyclists across.”

Although it’s based in V ermont, Rand said Sojourn specializes in bicycle tours and active vacations thr oughout North America. Customers choose from destinations selected for scenery , points of inter est, cycling r outes, and upscale lodging.

“I am sur e adding the Lake Champlain Bridge to one of Vermont tours will attract a lot of attention from tourists,” she said.

First car, motorcycle Vermont Gov . Peter Shumlin and New York Lt. Gov .

Robert Duffy were the first across the new Lake Champlain Bridge on a motor vehicle.

The two officials stood on the running board of a vintage Pierce Arrow automobile that was part of a fleet of V e rmont Auto Enthusiasts that wer e the first motorized vehicles to cross the bridge spanning Vermont and New York.

“They look like gangsters,” one unidentified onlooker

No, they’re not gangsters. Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin and New York Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy stand on the running boards of a vintage Pierce Arrow luxury sedan. The officials were the first to cross the new Lake Champlain Bridge on a motor vehicle Nov. 7.

said. “But the nice variety—these guys helped get the job done. I give them a lot of credit.”

The new bridge replaced the original 1929 span that was demolished in December 2009 due to age and some neglect.

Lt. Gov. Duf fy said the new $76 million bridge r estores mobility to the people and businesses of both states.

Jeff Jackson, of Shelburne, was the first person to cross the new Lake Champlain Bridge on a motorcycle.

Jeff Jackson, of Shelburne, was the first motor cyclist to cross the new Lake Champlain Bridge Nov . 7, riding his BMW behind the vintage cars with his buddy , Charles Keeler of Essex Junction, who followed on his own bike.

“To be a part of the bridge opening and be the first mo torcycle to cr oss was exciting,” Jackson said later in an email.

MIDDLEBURY—Middlebury Fire Department facilities planning is moving ahead, according to a report cited at the Middlebury Selectboard meeting Nov. 8.

Pat Shaw reported on the Middlebury Fir e Department's Station Committee Meeting of Nov. 1. The committee is working with Breadloaf Constr uction to refine the designs for the Seymour Street and East Middlebury stations, Shaw said. She noted that the Seymour Street Station elevator has been moved to the interior of the building. In addition to streamlining the front of the building, this arrangement has improved the functional layout of the station.

News that a Middlebury River Management Planning Task For ce will be formed was discussed at the Nov. 8 meeting. Following the model of the successful river

management planning effort in Ripton, the Boar d endorsed forming a Task Force to develop a plan for on-going management of the Middlebury River as it flows through East Middlebury.

The specialized, focused group could include r epresentatives fr om the Agency of Natural Resour ces, the Planning Commission, the Addison County Regional Planning Commission and a river scientist in an eff ort led by the T own Manager, with technical e xperts, in cluding engineers with river science experience and hydr ologists, r etained as needed.

The Boar d emphasized the need to engage r esidents of East Middlebury in the process by keeping them informed of the group's efforts and s oliciting i nput d uring the process.

The river management plan is one component of a Hazard Mitigation Plan. The mitigation plan is a pre-requisite for Federal Emergency Management Hazar d Mitigation funding, which is the leading source of funding to

implement measur es to r educe flood hazards.

Town Manager Bill Finger will meet with East Middlebury r esident and river scientist Amy Sheldon to develop a strategy for moving ahead with the T ask For ce and seeking funding for the planning initiative. Pending negotiation of a scope of work, Amy will be r etained on a pr ofessional basis to serve as the project manager for the effort.

A level-funded capital budget for Middlebury was recommended at the Nov . 8 meeting.

The Public W orks Committee met on Nov. 2 and recommended level funding the capital budget at $814,325 to the Selectboar d, continuing the T own's commitment to its investment in its infrastructure.

Town Manager Bill Finger noted that recommendations regarding a compr ehensive plan to address roof and roof drainage issues at the Ilsley Library ar e expected soon and may alter the capital budget plan request depend-

ing on the scope and cost of the r epairs. The Committee also hear d a r eport on the status of r oad pr ojects and discussed the draft transportation section of the Town Plan.

In looking forwar d to the FY2013 budget pr ocess, the town staff is working to prepare a draft budget for the board's consideration which continues the board's budget direction of recent years of controlled spending and fiscal sustainability while: maintaining curr ent levels of municipal services; pr eserving our investment in capital infrastructure by level-funding the capital improvement spending plan, as recommended by the Public W orks Committee; pr otecting public infrastructure and private pr operty through hazar d mitigation planning and implementation of appr opriate measures; r etaining adequate r eserves; pursuing r evenue enhancement opportunities; and seeking operational efficiencies.

Items that will be consid-

ered in the fiscal year 2012/13 budget pr ocess include the potential loss of tax r evenue in the curr ent tax year due to the pr operty tax appeal of The Lodge at Otter Cr eek and the cost of emergency pr otective measures for and r epairs to the Middlebury River post Hurricane Irene. There will also be two expense items for consideration by the voters at T own Meeting: the economic and business development ef fort and the Middlebury Fire Department facilities bond vote.

Other pending items in development of the FY13 budget include: a streetlight efficiency pr oject, which would reduce the T own's cost of str eetlighting by $15,000 per year; hazard mitigation planning and r eduction initiatives for the Middlebury River; employee wages and benefits; availability of the surplus funds from previous years to offset FY13 expenses, and negotiation of the contribution from the Battell T rust towar d the Conservation Fund.

MIDDLEBURY—Four members of the Middlebury College men’s soccer team were honored when the NESCAC announced its all-league teams. Seniors Tyler Macnee (Williston, Vt.) and Robbie Redmond (Morristown, N.J.) earned spots on the first-team, while senior Otis Pitney (Washington, D.C.) and junior Jack Fr eeman (Ridgewood, N.J.) wer e second-team honorees. The group helped lead the Panthers to an 8-4-4 r ecord, including a NESCAC T ournament firstround upset victory over Wesleyan.

Macnee earned first-team honors for the second-straight year, after holding down a second-team spot during his NESCAC rookie of the year season ’08. The senior finished second on the team in goals (5), assists (3) and points (13) in ’11.

Macnee scored two goals in an Oct. 4 win over Castleton State, following that up with a pair of helpers in an Oct. 8 victory at Hamilton. He ends his career sixth all-time at Middlebury with 28 goals in 69 games, while adding 10 assists for 66 points.

Redmond earns first-team honors for the second time after holding down a spot on the second-team a year ago. The team’s top midfielder, Redmond earned a goal in a September 13th win at Norwich this season. He earned four assists in four dif ferent games, including both NESCAC T ournament games in ’11. Redmond ends his career at Middlebury with eight goals and eight assists for 24 points in 74 games.

Pitney earns second-team honors as another top midfielder for the Panthers. The senior played in all 16 games this season, ranking third on the team with eight points. Pitney scored a pair of goals in a September 25th win over ColbySawyer, while scoring again two games later against Connecticut College. Pitney finishes his car eer with 75 games played, scoring nine goals with three assists for 21 points.

In his first season as a Panther, Freeman was named to the all-conference team as a back. The junior helped lead a Middlebury defense that allowed 0.70 goals/game this year, including nine shutouts. Fr eeman scor ed a goal this seas on early on, finding the back of the net in a September 13th victory at Norwich.

were missing fr om the T iger lineup including quarterback Dillon Robinson.

Even with all the physical problems experienced by team members, the Tigers displayed courage under fire by going after the Division I crown—a trophy the team never expected to have within its grasp at the start of the season two months ago. The teams of both schools—Hartford and Middlebury—played like tr ue sportsmen this season, r eason enough to feel something special was accomplished during this surprise championship season.

Logger

College student combines dance, trapeze

and let me finish this column which was to be about the experience of doing yoga with a spasming back, but has turned into a lingering piece that includes a few thoughts on shock and how shock freaks me out.

I mean, to think that the body knows it should go into shock freaks me out the same way thinking about why planes fly, or boats float, or eyes see—freaks me out.

One of the main points that this whole weight loss collection of columns is meant to point out is that the body is most wonderful, and is the reason why I try and do everything within my power to take care of it, and why I lost the weight, and why if you hang in there with these meandering columns, you might pick up information, and or a desire, that will help you to get yourself into the best shape you’ve been in your entire life. And now, I’ll say, not a moment too soon.

Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly. Reach him at rustyd@pshift.com.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—Middlebury College senior Jeremy Cline will present his thesis dance “Climbing on the W orld Tree” at 7 p.m. on Friday and Satur day, Nov. 18-19, in the college’s Mahaney Center for the Arts Dance Theatr e on Route 30 in Middlebury.

A joint major in dance and r eligion, Cline focuses his work on elements of ritual performance and investigates the nature of our r elationships with spirit.

Cline, a cast of five dancers, and live musicians explore the many facets of human consciousness through original choreography.

Cline’s piece is inspired by consideration of the levels of creation, a motif that

Jeremy Cline appears in many religious traditions.

The three realms of heaven, earth, and the underworld serve not mer ely as metaphors, but as actual modes of experience. In “Climbing on the World Tree,” dancers Davis Anderson ’13, Jessica Lee ’13, Otto Pierce ’13, Alexandra Vasquez ’12, and Meredith White ’15 seek to embody these different modes of being.

Original music by Elias Alexander ’13 and Yuki Takeda ’14 embellish this exploration. D rawing o n m ovement f rom traditional cultur es as we ll as modern dance, the dancers work as an ensemble to create a world outside of the ordinary.

Included in the piece is work on the single-point aerial trapeze. Also known as dance trapeze, this low-hanging apparatus allows for dancing thr ough the air .

Expect an evening of unconventional performance as the work r eflects on moving realms and our own mental perceptions.

Tickets are $12 for the general public; $10 for Middlebury College faculty, staff, alumni, and other ID car d holders; and $6 f or s tudents. F or m ore i nformation, call (802) 443-MIDD (6433) or go to http://go.middlebury.edu/arts.
