Residents united over bridge demolition
New York and Vermont residents want their voices heard in Albany over the closure and upcoming demolition of the Lake Champlain Bridge. Photo by Fred Herbst
By Fred Herbst newmarketpress@denpubs.com CROWN POINT/ADDISON — Local New York and Vermont residents upset with the closure of the Lake Champlain Bridge have formally united. The Lake Champlain Bridge Coalition has been formed to relay the concerns of those affected to state leaders. “Our goals are to quickly get a new ferry in at the present day bridge site, quickly get a new bridge at the present day bridge site and restore traffic to that corridor,” explained Barb Brassard, a coalition member and executive director of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce. “Without the Lake Champlain/Crown Point Bridge and normal traffic patterns, local businesses found an

Ferry to continue— weather permitting SHOREHAM — The Ticonderoga-Shoreham Ferry across Lake Champlain will provide service through December, weather permitting, under an agreement reached with Vermont and New York transportation officials. The deal announced Saturday keeps the ferry open and running seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. free of charge for passengers. The ferry service normally shuts down in the fall but under the agreement, the company will install winterizing equipment so it can operate in colder weather at least until the lake freezes. The states also are finalizing plans for a charter bus service from the Ticonderoga area to take people across the lake on the Essex ferry. The bus service will assure a reliable allweather method of crossing the lake once winter weather sets in.
DEEP DIVE — Vermont State Police scuba divers Travis Valcourt and John Bruzzi check each other’s dry suit gear in advance of a training dive in an abandoned marble quarry adjoining the Brandon American Legion Post along Route 7 last week. The troopers, member of the eight-man statewide VSP Scuba Team, measured the quarry water temperature at a chilly 48 degrees F. The 100-feet-deep spring-fed quarry pond includes a treacherous underwater cavern that connects two other quarries behind the Legion post. Photo by Lou Varricchio

Taxpayer funds to support local police, first responders
Paul Duquette, chief of the Newport Police Department, Thomas Tremblay, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Public Safety, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Tom L’Esperance of the Vermont State Police.
PITTSFORD — Approximately $944,000 in taxpayer funding will be made available for state law enforcement and first responders. The Vermont Department of Public Safety will receive $506,000 to improve communications equipment and technology. Another $250,000 will allow the Vermont State Police to take advantage of the most advanced in-cruiser camera technology available, according to Col. Tom L’Esperance, the state police director. “This technology will ensure Vermont State Police meet our goals of flawless evidence collection, efficient investigations, swift prosecution, transparent performance, and bias-free policing,” he said.

Inspired by the buzz and You-Tube notoriety around concerts and dances held at rail stations around the world, the Vermont Rail Action Network has scheduled a party and concert at Vermont’s own Union Station in Burlington, Nov. 20. New York City-based quartet, Lez Zeppelin were scheduled to rock the rails as part of a statewide campaign to increase awareness of the advantages of rail travel for Vermonters. Two taxpayer-funded Amtrak trains serve Vermont and provide a popular travel option for visiting tourists and Vermonters going to New York and beyond. Rail party sponsors said more investment in Vermont’s rail infrastructure is needed to speed up these lines and allow Rutland’s “Ethan Allen” train to be extended to Middlebury, Vergennes and Burlington, stopping downtown at the site of the concert. Lez Zeppelin, an all-female quartet , was recently featured on the CBS Sunday Morning Show. The group proudly proclaimed the truth inherent to their music: “All girls. All Zeppelin.” “As for the name, and people’s suppositions, we don’t care what they think,” Lez guitarist Steph Paynes said. “If they want to think we’re all lesbians, that’s fine with us. If they want to try to figure out who is and who isn’t, it’s all in good fun. It’s all part of the mystery.”
In addition, $188,000 was secured to support driver training at the Vermont Police Academy in Pittsford. The funding was for a driver training simulator, which will help the academy deliver versatile, portable, highly-advanced driver training to law enforcement recruits. In addition to Tremblay and L’Esperance, other participants in the kickoff news conference at the Department of Public Safety Headquarters included R.J. Elrick, director of the Vermont Police Academy, Paul Duquette, chief of the Newport Police Department, Lamoille County Sheriff Roger Marcoux and Al Barber chief of the Hinesburg Volunteer Fire Department.

Vacant homes: scams reported
F.D. installs dry hydrant
KILLINGTON — As foreclosures continue to spike in Vermont and the number of vacant homes on the market for sale spirals higher, area homeowners are increasingly vulnerable to companies that peddle questionable services or outright scams. Thomas Scott, vice president of operations for Showhomes, a so called home-staging company, said conditions are ripe in the foreclosure and high-end housing market for exploitation, where such a high percentage of vacant homes are lingering on the market for a year, two years or more. He encourages consumers to be on the alert. “These are really scary times for owners of vacant homes,” Scott said. “Almost daily, we read in the paper about vandalism, theft, parties in vacant homes, expensive repairs and plummeting property values that come from leaving homes vacant and for sale. In some cases we’re seeing fly-by-night companies moving home squatters into vacant properties in the hopes of wrestling possession of the home from the owner. It’s unbelievable.” “Letting a home sit empty is a recipe for disaster,” Scott said. “Home sellers need reputable managed staging and live-in stagers more than ever these days.” “The prospect of selling a home for 20-30 percent below its real value, and in many cases waiting years for it to sell, is hard enough,” Scott adds. “Now you have to worry about sneaky scam artists trying to take advantage of distressed homeowners.” In a recent case study, vacant second-homes for sale in two New England states—Vermont and Maine—with live-in home managers sold for 93 percent of the original list price when using home managers to stage. Comparable homes left vacant for sale sold for 75-85 percent of the original list price. Homes staged with home managers sold in 4-5 months and vacant homes took well over a year to sell, if they sold at all.
NEW HAVEN — The New Haven Volunteer Fire Department completed the installation of a dry hydrant at 1151 Otter Creek Hwy. in New Haven recently. The installation of the hydrant is part of a comprehensive program to improve fire protection in New Haven. The fire department is in the process of improving fire protection in New Haven by installing dry hydrants to improve the availability and accessibility of water for firefighting purposes. The Vermont Rural Fire Protection Task Force, through the Northern Vermont and George D. Aiken Resource Conservation and Development Councils, provided assistance to the fire department in developing a plan to improve water supply in New Haven. Since 1998 the state legislature has approved, an appropriation of $100,000 to assist communities in installing dry hydrants to improve fire protection in the rural areas of Vermont. The Vermont Rural Fire Protection Task Force, with the assistance of the councils, has administered the grant program and made grants to many communities for the installation of numerous dry hydrants throughout the state. Dry hydrants are a preferred method of providing water for firefighting in areas where there are no water mains. A dry hydrant consists of a 6- to 8-inch long pipe with a fitting to which a pumper can attach. The pipe connects to a water source (either a pond or stream) that can supply at least 60,000 gallons under drought conditions.

The audacity of ordinary
B
eing interviewed on the local “Quote Me” news show, this guy Matt Dunne who’s trying for the governor ’s seat, did not refer to the public at large as “ordinary.” I appreciate that, Mr. Dunne. You’ll get a look-see from me on that count alone. I can’t remember Brian Dubie using the word “ordinary” when describing any of Vermont’s inhabitants either. Personally, I think Brian Dubie’s first rate. Many times I’ve heard our good ol’ feller President Obama— who in my opinion is one gol darn unbelievably, freakishly, fantastically gifted communicator—in ways that not only benefit millions, but very often benefits only himself, refer to Americans as “ordinary.” I’ve also heard the hardest working politician I know, Sen. Bernie Sanders (not concrete pouring work hard working, I mean political work hard working) use the word “ordinary” when describing certain segments of the populous. They’ve both inserted the word “average” in place of “ordinary,” or better yet combined the two. They’ve said and I’m paraphrasing; “This isn’t about helping folks like myself and those who work in Washington, this is about helping ordinary people, average Americans, who get up and work forty or fifty hours a week and can still barely feed their families.” Ah, ya wanna... ya wanna read that back, Barack, Bernie, and whoever else is a know-it-all politician? You have got to be kidding me? Ordinary? Average? Are you folks high on somethin’? You’re all hundreds of times smarter than I am, but I’m not so simple as to ever utter, “This (my comedy show) is not about making folks like myself laugh, it’s about making ordinary people, average folks, who get up and work 40 to 50 hours a week laugh.” You politicians kill me sometimes. You actually—often—refer to us folks as ordinary and average. I appreciate the entertainment you all provide my ordinary ass. (My editor allows me much more space than I’ve used above. I intended to write more about the audacity it takes for someone to use the words ordinary or average, or both, to describe another human being, but I’ve just re-read my work and have concluded my point is clear. No need to explore further. However, I’m going to search all week for ordinary and average people. If I find any, I’ll let you know and I’ll write about them and take back the comments I’ve made above about some of our average politicians.) This column may be continued.

(Not) seeking productivity F
or reasons I choose not to disclose—under the unwritten privacy provisions identified as emanations and penumbras radiating unseen from the fourth item in the Bill of Rights—I found myself in the back seat of a parked car in the multi-acre parking lot of a cluster of big-box stores outside Greenville, Tenn. The only sign of life visible from my car window was a rapidly moving truck-sized motorized sweeper, whose single operator was systematically cleaning up the pavement to prepare for the coming day’s arrival of customers. In a score of minutes he (or was it she?) was done and gone, having spent maybe 30 minutes doing what would have required many hours of hand labor from platoons of men (oops, make that persons) with brooms—and not particularly mind-challenging labor at that. Coming just after dual news reports—one of a new record high in unemployment, the other of a new high in industrial productivity— it was a striking little vignette illustrating the old economist joke about the policy tactic for full employment, in, say construction: to scrap backhoes and issue shovels. Actually, it wasn’t always a joke. During the Great Depression, the Works Progress Administration was famous for using shovel-wielding (as well as shovel-leaning) brigades of hand labor in lieu of the mechanized equipment available even back in the ‘30s. The WPA’s underlying Keynesian-stimulus design intent wasn’t to get actual work done, it was to distribute spendable economic-survival income. The underlying economic paradox—the more primitive your level of technology, the more likely your achievement of full employment—has always meant that increases in productivity, essential for long-term improvements in standard-of-living, will usually bring what economist Joseph Schumpeter called “creative destruction” in his 1942 book “Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy”. (That’s short-term, temporary unemployment as, say, displaced buggy-whip makers become computer chip designers.) One reason food is as historically cheap as it is in the urban Northeast is that there are no more coal-shoveling firemen feeding the fireboxes of steam locomotives. Somewhat more recently than the Great Depression—indeed, in the early ‘60s just as then-computer-industryleader IBM was briefly forecasting that the new machines would never be practical for individual use—public education was, like every other industrial sector, rhapsodizing over the new technology’s ability to capture productivity gains and reduce labor costs while individualizing and improving product –for schools, instructional quality. On the building space-requirement-and-building-layout side, we young designer-draftsmen were attending conferences at which consulting experts told us how much space would be needed for the coming wave of personal-comput-
ers-in-the-classroom. The then-standard prescription (indeed, it is still on the books, although now disregarded in actual classroom design) of 30-square-feet per pupil , minimum room size 750 square feet for a 25student class, even though such once-average-size classes are quite rare now) they told us authoritatively, would have to be doubled so that each student could have a conventional writing surface to his (her) front as well as a computer table to his (her) rear, just as we then had drafting boards forward and reference tables aft in our individual work stations. All this would be a taxpayer bargain because school building space is typically a quarter as expensive as staffing costs, and the great educational-economics promise/reward of the Computer Age was to be inexpensive student self-instruction rising as expensive staffing requirements fell. Just as the diesel locomotive self-fed its fuel, the new schools’ students would self-feed and self-test their own instruction, at their own individualized and customized pace and scope. In the actual event, it never happened. Public education unions made the brigades-with-shovels choice in the ‘70s and ‘80s, rejecting PCs just as they were slowly becoming available, diametrically opposite to the technology-embracing choice the UMW’s John L. Lewis had made in the ‘40s and ‘50s. lewis had declared that with the welcome mechanization of coal-mining there would be fewer miners, but better mining conditions and wages and productivity gains would benefit the standard-of-living of both consumer and producer. The results of these historic decisions show up now in both costs and quality. In 1950, homeowners paid $56 per ton for anthracite coal in year 2000 dollars. By 2000, coal was down to $47 per ton according to the Energy Information Administration. In 1950, taxpayers paid $2,000 per pupil in year 2006 dollars. By 2006 it was up to $10,000, per the National Digest of Educational Statistics. Today’s coal, we old-timers can testify, is cleaner, bettergraded, and more handleable than it was in 1950. However, today’s education, as measured by test scores and curriculum, is—oh well, let’s not go there this week. Retired Vermont architect and planner Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets: Some Days are Better Than Others S
uper-Couponing Secret: The day of the week we shop makes a huge difference how much money we can save. To understand this tip, consider this: Many grocery stores run two sales cycles each week. One flier comes out on Thursday and runs for seven days. This is the "long" cycle, which runs Thursday-to-Wednesday. But the same stores often have a second sales flier that comes out on Sundays and runs for four days. This is the "short" cycle, which runs Sunday-to-Wednesday. Now, look at a calendar and pay attention to the days. There are four days each week when both cycles and sales fliers overlap: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If your store participates in two sales cycles, these are the days you want to shop in order to maximize your savings. By shopping Monday through Wednesday, you gain the advantage of two concurrent sales rather than just one. Why do stores do this? Look at the remaining three days in the week: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These are busy days for a grocery store. Statistically speaking, they're also the days people are most likely to shop without much forethought. The weekend is approaching, the workweek is almost done and people head to the store. By contrast, when Sunday rolls around and the new week arrives, store traffic drops off. The store issues more sales and more deals on those days in order to drive traffic back into the store. These are the days we want to shop! People often ask me how many times I'm at the grocery store during the week (I can't imagine why, but many people are under the impression that I practically live there!) The truth is much less exciting. I really do shop just once a week. But I always shop on one of days when both sales fliers are active. Another reason to shop earlier in the week is that stores will raise prices on many items later in the week. My store recently had a sale on a brand-name cereal. At $1.25 a box, it was already a great price; with a $1 coupon, I took it home for a quarter. That sale ran Sunday through Wednesday. On Thursday, the same cereal was still on "sale," but the new sale price? $2.50 a box. The price doubled in one day! This is one of those hidden little games the stores
play, too. The same items may be on sale, but the sale price is a lot less attractive as the higher-traffic shopping days approach If you never clipped a single coupon, you would save a great deal of money just by shopping earlier in the week. If I had purchased my cereal on Thursday instead of Wednesday, I would have paid twice the price! Now, think about many other By Jill Cataldo items in the grocery store take similar jumps in prices as the end of the week nears, and you'll see why it makes sense to shop on the days the sales overlap. If you need even more convincing, consider what happens when the same product is on sale in both sales fliers. I've seen crackers on sale for $1.99 in the long-cycle flier while in the short cycle flier, the same crackers were on sale Buy One, Get One Free! The smart shopper who is in the store on the days that the sales overlap, will not only get the crackers for $1.99, they'll take home a second package for free. And if they use a coupon on each box ... Oh, the possibilities! © CTW Features

Fenster sworn-in as State’s Attorney MIDDLEBURY — Gov. Jim Douglas was clearly pleased during the swearing-in ceremony of David R. Fenster as Addison County State’s Attorney Nov. 17 at the Addison County Courthouse. Fenster replaced John T.

Fenster safe place to live and raise a family,” said Douglas. “I want to thank Gov. Douglas for having the confidence in me to do this important job,” said Fenster. “I am committed to working as hard as I can with my partners in the law enforcement community to ensure that the people of Addison County are safe.” Fenster has served the state and his community as a member of the board of managers for the Vermont Bar Association, the board of governors of the Vermont Association for Justice, past president of the Bennington Bar Association. He also serves as secretary of Norshaft Little League and is a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

Counseling Service celebrates 50 Years MIDDLEBURY — The Counseling Service of Addison County celebrated its 50th birthday at the American Legion hall in Middlebury, with more than 160 guests. The event, which was also the counseling service’s annual meeting, featured speakers focusing on each of the five decades of the agency’s history, beginning with Dottie Neuberger and Phyllis Severson, who spoke of the early years when the agency was located in the basement of the Middlebury Municipal Building. Other speakers included Rep. William Lippert (D), who worked at the counseling service for many years and was its Executive Director from 1985 to 1996. The William J. Lippert, Jr. Advocacy Award was presented to another legislator, Rep. Michael Fisher (D), representing Monkton, Bristol and Lincoln, who is also a social worker at the Addison County Parent Child Center. The Wilton W. Covey, M.D. Staff Award was presented to the agency’s Electronic Medical Records Team “in recognition and with deep appreciation of their commitment to enhancing the quality of life in the Addison County community.” The Wilton W. Covey, M.D. Community Award was presented to Ryan Murphy, coordinator of Special Olympics for Addison County, “in recognition and with deep appreciation of her commitment to enhancing the quality of life in the Addison County community.” The Holly Clook Award was presented to Kate Cook, intake coordinator at the counseling service, “in recognition and with deep appreciation for enhancing CSAC’s vitality through creative use of humor, humanity, dedication and commitment.” Gov. Jim Douglas received a special—and humorous— recognition for his service to the State of Vermont and his support of services for Vermonters with mental health and development challenges. The governor served on the board of the service from 1973 to 1975.
Posters telling the story of the Counseling Service of Addison County adorn the agency’s windows in recognition of 50 years of service.

Shoreham to discuss town issues SHOREHAM — Shoreham residents will participate in the second phase of the Vermont Council on Rural Development’s Community Visit to the town. The meeting, to be held on Tuesday, Dec. 1 from 6:30–9 p.m. at the Shoreham Elementary School, will follow up on the initial session held in October, which drew over 80 residents. During the initial visit in October, residents met in focus groups to share their thoughts on topics ranging from community involvement, the school, and town buildings to infrastructure, economic development, and land use. A visiting team representing state, federal, private and non-profit agencies heard their ideas, and will remain as resources as the town moves forward on priorities that emerge through this process.
VCRD will begin the Dec. 1 session by reviewing a list of ideas generated at the first visit and then facilitate as residents discuss those ideas, advocate for causes of particular interest, and finally vote for issues they want to move forward in the coming year. The issues that are selected will become the focus of task forces that will build work and resource plans to move ideas into action. VCRD will return for a final visit in a few weeks to assist in identifying resources, both human and financial to support the town. The VCRD Community Visit process was invited to the town by the Selectboard to help set community priorities for the future. Will Stevens of Golden Russet Farm has agreed to serve as community visit chairman; he’ll coordinate work with committees over the
next year. According to Paul Costello, VCRD executive director, “Shoreham residents have an excellent opportunity to help aim Shoreham in the right direction on a number of issues by attending the community meeting at the Shoreham Elementary School on Dec. 1.” All residents, whether they participated in the first session or not, are encouraged to come out on Dec. 1 to vote for issues that will become the focus of working groups in the coming year. For more information, contact 2236091 or info@vtrural.org or Shoreham’s Town Clerk at 897-5841. Shoreham Community Meeting: Tuesday, Dec. 1, Shoreham Elementary School, 6:30–9 p.m.

To the editor: “Thanks” is such a small word, but means so much. We, the teachers of tenth-grade history and the technology coordinator, would like to extend our gratitude to all the people in Mt. Abraham Union High/Middle School’s fivetown communities who participated in a day of discovering one’s own community. On Oct. 8, all of the tenth grade students from Mt. Abraham Union High/Middle School were given an amazing gift from members of their individual towns. Over 100 students explored their own town and discovered their towns’ unique stories and legacies. Students have recognized the importance of sharing these stories with others to maintain the values and events that define our individual towns. Town clerks, town librarians, town historians and business owners from each of Mt. Abraham’s five feeder towns, Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton, New Haven and Starksboro, offered their knowledge to our students. Students digitally recorded a lot of the stories shared on this special day of community connections. Students recently finished multi-media projects about their research and we would like to invite anyone interested in seeing them to contact us. We hope to continue this day of discovering community next year and would invite anyone who did not participate, but would like to next year, to contact us at Mt. Abraham. This extremely rewarding day for all of our students would not have been possible without the support of all of those community members who served as our teachers for the day.

Newspaper circulation audits help weeklies Free community weeklies doing better than expected ST. LOUIS — Before the national newspaper circulation narrative turns to gloom and doom, there's plenty of reason for weekly newspapers to celebrate at the community level. Audit data for the first half of 2009 by the award-winning Circulation Verification Council (CVC), shows continued circulation stability across the community and in niche publication sectors. The Eagle and Rutland Tribune newspapers are regularly audited by the CVC. Circulation gains were reported by 45 percent of the publications in the community newspaper category; 54 percent of the publications in the alternative newsweeklies category; and 54 percent of the publications in the ethnic publications category; Good news for community papers is good news for advertisers, too, according to the CVC, a Missouri-based firm.

cate that they frequently purchase products or services from advertisements seen in their CVC-audited community and niche publications; this number is up over a point from last year, topping 3 out of 4 with a 75.6 percent score. “This increase is potentially significant, because so-called purchase intention scores have been stable for years,” said CVC President Tim Bingaman. “A blip in the national average of one to two percent requires substantial change in purchasing behaviors from existing newspaper readers. This shows that readers are increasingly looking to community and niche publications to research sales and buying opportunities before spending money.” Some critics of free CVC-audited newspapers might rain on the parade out of knee-jerk reaction, but “CVC is scrutinizing the numbers, calling readers in our markets, and delivering statistically certain bona fides (for newspaper advertisers),” Bingaman said.

Christmas is arriving early all over Middlebury, as a local church prepares to serve as a collection point for Operation Christmas Child. Soon, with the help of Middlebury volunteers, the sites will be brimming with festively wrapped shoe boxes full of gifts. Through Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project, Middlebury residents are packing shoe box gifts for children in more than 100 countries suffering from natural disaster, war, terrorism, disease, famine and poverty. From Middlebury, the shoe box gifts will be sorted and sent using whatever means necessary—sea containers, trucks, trains, airplanes, boats, camels, even dog sleds—to reach suffering children around the world. Operation Christmas Child uses tracking technology that allows donors to “follow your box” to the destination country where it will be hand-delivered to a child in need. To register shoe box gifts and find out what country they are delivered to, use the EZ Give donation form found at www.samaritanspurse.org.

MIDDLEBURY — During the flu season, Porter Hospital has made some changes in the visiting policies on the Birthing Center, according to Kathy Hoxsie, nurse manager of the Unit. “The number of visitors allowed to visit mom and baby will be limited to two, and it will be helpful if these visitors remained the same throughout the stay” Hoxsie said. “The father of the baby will be allowed in at all times but must wear a mask if any signs or symptoms of illness and visitors under the age of 18 will not be allowed onto the unit.” According to Hoxsie, there will be special visiting hours for siblings—who must be symptom free of illness such as fever and or cough—between 3-6 p.m. each day. No other children will be allowed onto the unit as visitors. Visitors should expect to be greeted at the door to the Birthing Center by staff, who will be asking questions about illness. Any one with any signs of illness will not be allowed onto the Unit. “We also will ask that everyone use good hand washing at all times” Hoxsie added. “We are asking our patients to please help us by informing family and friends of these new policies before you come into the hospital, as we are doing this to protect you and your new baby as well as the other families on the unit” Hoxsie said. “We do strongly encourage you to get your seasonal flu shot as well as the H1N1 vaccine. “ She said that this policy may change as the season progresses, and that the hospital will keep the patients and community updated.

“The Full Monty” bares it yric Theatre’s production of “The Full Monty” was one of the best productions ever; it was lively, engaging and a star in the crown of Lyric’s successes through the years. The women in the cast who had solos were terrific. They combined the necessary vocal strength to belt out their songs as Ethel Merman would have done, and with great diction (Marjorie Macleay as Jeanette didn’t manage the diction part). The men sang equally strongly and with clear diction. They danced and acted very well, as did the women. What was unmistakably present on the stage was an exhilarating mood that infected the entire cast, who in turn infected the audience, so that often you would have thought the whole auditorium was filled with people who spent their time talking dollar bills into g-string. Most of the songs from the score require a certain lustiness of approach, and the music and lyrics were well served by all. There is only one ballad in the show, in the second act, sung by Eric Pressman with the requisite lyricism.
PLC ~
It is amazing that although Lyric has certainly had its share of hits that I never really felt the cast members had he exuberance that poured over the footlights and into the orchestra pit and out into the audience. The orchestra played well for the most part, but I found that the overture and the entr ’acte were less coherent and muddled-sounding. as though mud and clay had somehow got into their playing area. Kudos to all the backstage people and all the people who make Lyric Theatre so successful, and thanks to those underwriters of the show. I am also pleased to know that they have chosen successfully to do this so-called adult show and that they will continue to do more musicals aimed at the adult population. Actually, this was a show that might have been good for older children to have seen simply because it underscored the need for family and friends. The company will be doing “La Cage aux Folles” in the spring of next year. The Shelburne Players, under the direction of Donald Rowe, have mounted a powerful and ensemble-act-
ing production of J. V. Priestley’s resurrected play, “An Inspector Calls”. Everything depends upon and flows from the suicide death of a young lonesome girl. A mysterious Inspector arrives on the scene, because he has wanted to meet with family members and to pull out from them the fact that they all cooperated. The small group of actors worked as a genuine ensemble, so it is very difficult to cite all of their fine points. The really should be enough simply to say that they all handled themselves in a very professional way. They were aided in their success by the beautiful costumes and the delightful set, replete with coffee cups (china) as well as a beautiful drinks cabinet. Rowe has so carefully worked out the placement of the actors on stage that there is no point in time where one loses the sight of the characters speaking or the majority of the other actors listening. Other organizations who must do theater should be coming to see this production and how Rowe has employed his actors to maintain ultimate visibility. Play runs this week: Nov. 19-21 at 7:30 p.m. If you

Q: Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt? A: Surprisingly, the answer is no. It doesn’t hurt. I say it’s surprising for a couple of reasons. Adjusting techniques are somehow not painful even when working on extremely painful areas. This was even astonishing to me when I first went into practice. I think a lot of people are afraid to try chiropractic for this very reason. People don’t want anyone touching them where they hurt. It’s a catch 22. If you want to correct the cause and get rid of the pain, you need to let us work on the painful area. Another reason people think it’ll be painful is that if you watch someone get adjusted; it can look like it hurts! If it did, nobody would come back. The fact is that when someone gives chiropractic a chance to work for them, they almost always become trusting and enthusiastic patients who wonder why it took them so long to give it a try. “the greatest wealth is health” Call 388-6376, mention this article and schedule an appointment for a FREE Evaluation and X-rays. www.middleburychiropractic.com

Lakers defeat CVU for Division II Championship By Frederick Pockette The top seeded Colchester Lakers utilized a potent rushing attack, led by Devon Grammo, to hold off the third seeded Champlain Valley Union High School Redhawks and capture the Division II High School Football State Championship with a 22-14 win last Saturday in Essex. Grammo had 26 carries for 177 yards, including a 64yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Sophomore Alec Kozlowski had a half dozen attempts for 82 yards, while junior Jared Vetters rounded out the rushing attack with 13 carries for 48 yards and a critical fourth
quarter touchdown. Colchester ’s other touchdown came on a deflected 11-yard completion from junior quarterback Jack Leclerc to Kozlowski in the third quarter. The Lakers defense added two points to the win when they executed a safety courtesy of a CVU bad snap. J.P. Benoit had a 2-yard touchdown run at the end of the first half for CVU’s first touchdown. Their final score came early in the third quarter when quarterback Konnor Fleming connected with Ryan Busch for a 12-yard scoring pass. Busch had four catches for 79 yards. Flemming himself ran 17 times for an impressive 103 yards, including a two-point conver-

sion. The Redhawks, despite the championship defeat, wrap up a successful 2009 campaign with a solid 9-2 record. The Lakers finish a perfect 11-0 and claim their first ever Division-II crown. They did win the state championship in the now extinct Division IV back in 1998. Lake Monsters update St. Johnsbury native Nate Cloutier has been named general manager of the Vermont Lake Monsters, the New York-Penn League baseball team announced this week. Cloutier, who has worked for the Lake Monsters since 2002 and has been the team’s Assistant General Manager since 2007, is just the fourth General Manager in the franchise’s 17-year history. He replaces C.J. Knudsen, who resigned as Vermont’s G.M. on Oct. 29. “I have spent the last eight seasons with this ball club preparing to be in this spot. It is bittersweet not being able to work with CJ any longer, but he prepared me very well to pick up where he left off,” said Cloutier. “It's a great opportunity and a great challenge that I welcome.

Racing
CVRA tracks switching to asphalt WEST HAVEN, Vt. – A new era of racing will begin on the Champlain Valley Racing Association in 2010, as both Albany-Saratoga and Devil's Bowl speedways will make the transformation from dirt to asphalt. Albany-Saratoga Speedway has already run two shows on its original asphalt surface, and is scheduled to be resurfaced beginning Nov. 9. A subbase has been put down at Devil's Bowl, and the track will be paved in the spring. The transformation actually began as an experiment, when Albany-Saratoga Speedway promoter Bruce Richards decided to remove the clay in September and run some shows on the original asphalt surface. At that time, he also booked dates with three asphalt touring groups (American Canadian late models, ISMA supermodifieds and True Value/ROC asphalt modifieds) for races in the spring, and the plan was to put the clay back down in May 2010. But after discussions with his business partners, sponsors and race teams, the decision was made to make a complete change to asphalt at both tracks. “This year was really tough,” Richards said. “I can't tell you the time and effort that was put into track preparation this year, just to have it rain at 5 or 6 p.m. on a Friday night. After many, many years of working with the dirt deal, it's time to move on. “I'm really excited about the change,” he added. “We're opening up a new world of opportunities in regard to fans, race teams and sponsorship. By going asphalt, we're also going to be unique. There are a lot of dirt tracks in
this area, but we will have the only show on asphalt, and we're going to be able to do some things the other tracks can't do.” Albany-Saratoga Speedway was built by Joe Lesik in 1965, and ran as an asphalt track from 1965 until 1976, when it was purchased by CVRA founder C.J. Richards, who switched to a clay surface for the 1977 season. Richards also carved Devil's Bowl out of Vermont farm land in the 1960s. The track had an asphalt surface for two years in the early 1970s before Richards went back to a clay surface in 1977 to conform both CVRA tracks to the same specifications. During its asphalt heyday, AlbanySaratoga Speedway drew the top NASCAR modified and sportsman competitors from throughout the Northeast, including Richie Evans, Jerry Cook, Freddy DeSarro, Eddie Flemke and Geoff Bodine. Bill Greco won the first race ever held at the speedway, on July 16, 1965, and Cook won the last asphalt race on Sept. 5, 1975. Will Cagle won the first race on the new dirt surface in 1977, and Ronnie Johnson has the distinction of winning the final dirt race, on Sept. 13. Albany-Saratoga has always lived up to its reputation as “The Great Race Place,” providing thrilling side-byside racing involving some of the biggest names in stock race racing, including Brett Hearn, Ken Tremont Jr., Jack Johnson, Dave Lape and Lou Lazzaro. One of the biggest issues Bruce Richards will be attacking at Albany-
Saratoga with the new asphalt surface will be tire wear, as competitors were used to running the same set of Goodyears for weeks on end on the dirt surface. “I've gotten assurances from Goodyear that they were going to take their very best asphalt product and put it on a dirt carcass,” said Richards. “I've been told that the asphalt product they're going to use is a proven repeater, which means it can repeat the same track times for five or six weeks. “We're going to test the Goodyears at Airborne Speedway, because the surface at Airborne is going to be duplicated at Albany-Saratoga next year. We're confident that the new Goodyears will be perfect for what we're going to do next year.” Albany-Saratoga will still be running 358 modifieds, budget sportsman, prostreet stocks, limited and mini/stocks next season. The sportsman class will be absorbed into the modified division, which had previously been announced, giving Albany-Saratoga one 358-modified division. Jerry Richards will take on the promoter's responsibilities at Devil's Bowl in 2010, while Sharon Richards will continue in her role as treasurer of the CVRA. “We're been involved in racing our whole lives, and we're excited about entering a new era,” said Bruce Richards. “Race teams will see minimal changes in our program next season, but anyone with concerns should call me.”

Vermont tops N.E. states in private-sector job losses 15,000 jobs lost MONTPELIER — The 2009 recession hit hard and deep in Vermont's private sector, especially in construction and manufacturing. About 6 percent of private sector jobs have disappeared since the recession started nearly two years ago. Losses have also spread to the public sector in 2009, as state government made cuts to reduce state spending. The Douglas administration is on track to reduce the number of state jobs by more than 8 percent by the end of the year—eliminating a total of over 700 state positions. A report, State of Working Vermont 2009, by Public Assets Institute in Montpelier, highlights these changes and their effects on Vermont’s workers and their families. It argues that cutting state jobs has worsened the
recession for the state’s economy and its people. "We have to recognize that there are negative consequences to cutting the state payroll," said Public Assets Institute president Paul Cillo. "In the private sector, companies have to lay off workers because there is no work for them. We’re seeing cuts in state services just when the recession is forcing more and more people to turn to state government for help. And to the extent the administration is laying off state workers, it is making the recession worse and increasing the cost of unemployment." According to the report, Vermont had lost more of its private sector jobs through 2009 than any of the other New England states. Since the start of the recession, the number of private sector jobs in Vermont dropped by more than 15,000.

GUESTVIEWPOINT Controversial blogger says goodbye to Vermont
O
n or about Feb. 15, 1943, my mother and I traveled to Buffalo, N.Y., to see my father off to World War II. This being my first trip out of Vermont, it was easy for me—not so for her. Later, she related that it was a stressful journey. So, I put my mother in the hospital, where after a very short stay, on Feb, 23, I announced entry into this world. I suggested that the surroundings were hardly suitable and she remedied that by returning to Vermont posthaste. Some fools suggest this disqualifies me as being a true Vermonter. They can go sit on it. In some things, one has no say in the matter. Growing up in Vermont in the mid ‘50s, a maniac with a penchant for cropdusting taught me how to fly. This plays a role later (which is why I bring it up). Another war would cause my leaving Vermont, although I didn’t know it at the time. After my father died, my mother decided to move my brothers and sisters back to her mother’s farm in Narrowsburg, N.Y. She had a job teaching school there and an easier life. While I helped her move there, the military draft caught up with me. I figured on a two year hitch, all said and done. When the U.S. Army found out I had a pilot’s license, they were overjoyed. I certainly was not. Officer basic training, a butter bar, Rucker and you’re an officer, gentleman and a good judge of whiskey and character. The Army seldom gets much right and didn’t this time either. I drank beer and I’m a character—a real Vermont Woodchuck. The two years as an Army aviator turned into six. But then the Army took on the rotary wing. Since I wasn’t going to fly rotors, I went with the Special Forces and put 32 months in Vietnam in 2 plus tours. This kept me out of Vermont for a long time. When I finally returned to Vermont, I found the state had been invaded and nobody was defending its borders. This in-

vading army followed the mantra of “do your own thing” but really despised the concept for all those who didn’t do it their way. They overran the Green Mountain State. Looking back on it, the Afro Hutus and Tutsis had better relations. The stink of patchouli oil and incense smoke soon morphed into the exhaust fumes of Volvos and Subarus followed by McMansions, high taxes, no-sprawl crowded developments, higher taxes, more shopping centers, even higher taxes—and then the Swiss Miss sitting in the governor’s chair during the late 1980s put the kiss of death on the state. The Vermont ethos of helping one another morphed into taking from one to give to another—deserving or not. I would find living as a parasite on the earnings of others to be degrading. I was raised to believe socialism is slavery. In a time long ago, Vermonters fought against it. Now Vermont institutionalizes it. The Green Mountain State has mutated to the color pink. Slowly, the black ink on the state’s books has turned as red as Bernie’s signs. War came, yet again, to Vermont—this time, a culture war, a P.C. war as nasty as any shooting war. (It is as vicious and will become as bloody.) This new war now causes my leaving Vermont. But this time I knew it was a final farewell. Call it the OPM War, if you like. Vermont will lose this conflict just as the states of California, Michigan, New York and Massachusetts lost the war. Erecting the Catamount Curtain around the state will be necessary to retain what little business and capital remains here. It will suffice until the exit tax is collected at the People’s Progressive Gate at Brattleboro. (Major employment in Brattleboro is loitering at the city limits with handcuffs, waiting to arrest Bush-Cheney if either patriot shows up.) So, I’m now departing for a place where what is mine is mine, where I can donate my time and money to organizations that require recipients to do something for themselves before receiving. Heretofore, I haven’t mentioned herself, my better half, who is now working in our new state of of residence. She is much more liberal than one would believe; her antipathy with what is going on here in Vermont politics fooled me. It was

RUTLAND — Attention, Rutland-area paparazzi and autograph hounds! Get ready for the arrival of a famous international personality at Depot Park on the evening of Friday, Nov. 27. What will all the celebrity glitter and hubbub be about? Well, the world’s most famous elf, jolly old St. Nick, is expected to make his annual whistlestop visit to downtown Rutland. A spokesperson for the North Pole resident announced that the big elf wants to meet hundreds of local boys and girls and hear all about their Christmas wish lists. The tradition of Santa making his way into Rutland to help kick off the holiday season begins at 6 p.m. when Santa arrives in style in Depot Park. Rutland City Mayor Christopher Louras will join in officially welcoming Santa to the City of Rutland. Santa and Mayor Louras will light the holiday tree. Wagon rides and carolers will add to the festive evening. Once Santa has illuminated the holiday tree, he will head to Santa’s Land at the Boys and Girls Club on Merchants Row. There he will visit children and listen to their holiday wishes. As children are lined up waiting for Santa, magician Jeffrey Jene will entertain them. Downtown Rutland officials thanked John and Judy Crowley for donating the holiday tree, Trees Incorporated for cutting and setting the tree, and the City of Rutland and the Rutland Recreation Department. Santa’s Arrival and Tree Lighting will kick off Downtown Rutland’s HollyDays season of fun and events. There will a multitude of shopping opportunities throughout December in Downtown Rutland. Sponsors of Downtown Rutland’s HollyDays events include Citizens Bank, FairPoint Communications, the Rutland Herald, Price Chopper, KeyBank, VELCO, OMYA, Gus’ Tobacco Shop, Vermont Country Store and Best Western. For a detailed schedule of HollyDays events and other information, call 773-9380 or see rutlanddowntown.com.

immediate decrease in business,” Brassard said. “Their losses range from 30 to 90 percent. This is a huge impact to our struggling businesses that may not survive. “This is the short term impact,” she added. “The long term impact would surface next summer when the tourists normally arrive. Without the bridge to channel visitors here we could be facing an even more devastating impact and more businesses closing. Jobs will be lost and storefronts will close. This is a hit that our region cannot afford and could be the death of our area as we knew it.” Karen Hennessey of Crown Point is the coalition leader. The group formed during a return trip from Albany Nov. 10 where residents took their concerns to the state capital. About 20 local people made the trip. They were joined by New York State Sen. Betty Little, Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, local officials and community members from Saratoga County to rally support for investments in bridge and roadway projects. The lawmakers said there are 110 New York State bridges with a safety rating the same or worse than the bridge in Crown Point now deemed too dangerous for traffic, according to a New York State Department of Transportation bridge safety report. “The North Country communities I represent are reeling because of the bridge closure,” said Little. “Thank goodness no one was killed as a result of the bridge failing. But the closure has resulted in a state of emergency having to be declared and costly steps being taken to mitigate the financial impact on families and businesses. This is much more than an inconvenience, it is a real hardship. The question many of us are wondering is where is the next Crown Point Bridge?” Sayward agreed the Lake Champlain Bridge closure is more than an inconvenience. “The closure of this bridge has affected many lives,” she said. “People are struggling to get back and forth from work, creating long, stressful days. Farmers need to tend to their animals; people require medical services. Residents have been inconvenienced long enough, with inclement weather coming upon us we must act now. We are looking to the governor to find funds so we can resolve this sooner than later.” The Saratoga County residents expressed worry about the Batchellerville Bridge. New York State Sen. Hugh T. Farley said, “The time to address this (Batchellerville) situation is now, rather than having to react to the traumatic impact of a closure, like in the Crown Point situation. Both of these bridges are indicative of the broader problems that need to be addressed throughout the state (of New York).” A New York DOT report issued this past May listed hundreds of bridges in need of attention. The Crown Point Bridge, also known as the Lake Champlain Bridge, had a safety rating of 3.38. More than 100 bridges received a lower score in that report.

College completes dormitory project PUTNEY — Recently, Landmark College, located in Putney, celebrated the completion of their Aiken Hall dorm project with a ribbon cutting. Bread Loaf Corporation, of Middlebury designed and constructed the dormitory renovation and expansion. The project was scheduled for 14 weeks during the summer and was completed on time and under budget. The expansion involved removing the roof to add a third floor. The goal was to transform the building from one of a dormitory-style environment to a building encompassing modern living suites, to include private and semi-private baths, an elevator, solar hot water and energy efficient lighting, and amenities comparable to major colleges and universities nationwide.
Vermont looks to federal funds for rail plans Vermont Agency of Transportation Secretary David Dill joined transportation administrators from the six New England states to advance the goal of regional cooperation and coordination to achieve the mutual goal of enhancing mobility options for the people of the northeast. The meeting, which was held in Connecticut, was a follow-up to a meeting of the Northeast Association of State Transportation Officials in Boston where a vision for the region covering high-speed and intercity passenger rail, as well as freight rail, was developed and ultimately unveiled in August. Dill updated his New England counterparts on Vermont’s submission of Economic Stimulus grant requests for Amtrak’s Vermonter and Ethan Allen Express service routes. The grants would allow for increased track speeds, reduced travel times, improvement of time performance and expanding the Ethan Allen’s Western Corridor service to Burlington. All six New England states have submitted taxpayer stimulus grant applications under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for high-speed or intercity commuter rail funding. The administrators expressed cautious optimism about their chances of success with these applications, while recognizing the extremely competitive nature. The administrators also pledged to continue their work and dialogue with all members of the New England congressional delegations to secure passage of a federal transportation funding bill for the entire country.
