Archeologist holding up ferry project, locals say ADDISON — Businessowners located near the condemned Lake Champlain Bridge between Addison, Vt. and Corwn Point, N.Y., allege a consulting archeologist to the Vermont Agency of Transportation is delaying the ferry project now underway by Kubricky Construction. One of the businessowners declined to be identified in print, but reported to The (Addison) Eagle that project officials have been frustrated by archeologist who is slowing down the effort and adding to the ferry project’s costs. According to John Dumville of the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, the archaeologist handling the project is Jen Russell of the University of Vermont's Consulting Archaeology Program. “It’s looking more and more like the ferry project will not be completed by the time the lake ice freezes,” said the owner of the Bridge Restaurant in Addison. “My understanding is that Vermont’s archeologist is slowing everything down— requiring mating and stump grinding; meanwhile, we have businesses on this side of the lake that are ready to close their doors.” Telephone calls by The Eagle to Russell and VTrans were not returned by press time.

Bridge demolition may begin week of Dec. 13 TICONDEROGA — The U.S. Federal Highway Administration may rapidly approve the demolition of the 80-yearold Crown Point Bridge by early next week. If so, the actual demolition work may start the week of Dec. 13. New York State Department of Transportation official Deborah Rausch said the bid taking process from subcontractors will begin this Monday, the same day the FHA is expected to ok the demolition job. Rausch said, “A subcontractor will be selected on Wednesday (Dec. 9).” She said that the subcontractor will handle setting the controlled explosions that will drop sections of the 2,184-foot bridge into the lake. Reading between the lines, it appears that the explosive work might begin shortly after a subcontractor is selected.

EAGLE EYE VIEW — This aerial view of Middlebury’s downtown Cross Street Bridge, now under construction, was taken last Thursday by bridge engineer Gregory Goodrich in the passenger seat of a private aircraft. The large precast concrete beams used in building the span across Otter Creek were manufactured locally by J.P. Cararra and Sons of East Middlebury. The photo shows the moment when one of the beams was being lowered into place by the project’s giant articulated crane. See related story inside this week’s Eagle. Photo Courtesy of VHB & Kubricky

More public bridge meetings planned New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Acting Commissioner Stanley Gee and Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) Secretary David Dill today announced that, in order to expedite progress on demolishing the current Lake Champlain Bridge and designing its replacement, the states will hold a series of meetings to present plans and options to the public throughout the day on Saturday, Dec. 12, at LaChute Hall, 132 Montcalm St., in Ticonderoga, New York. "The purpose of these meetings is to receive feedback from the public regarding design plans for the replacement bridge at Crown Point as well as ideas for commemorating the historic bridge that will soon be demolished," said Acting Commissioner Gee. "We want to assure that the new bridge is built as quickly as possible, and that it is aesthetically

compatible within the context of the community and the environment. This is an inclusive process, and we will seriously consider the input received from those who live in the area and depend on the connection between Vermont and New York State. We will continue to work in close collaboration with the community, residents, local government and other agencies, as we have been doing, to implement transportation options as a new bridge is put in place." "We encourage as many people as possible to join us at these public forums," VTrans Secretary Dill added. "We are keenly aware of how important this new bridge will be to everyone who lives anywhere near the lake crossing. We value everyone's opinion, and we look forward to the public's guidance in helping us choose a bridge design that we can all be proud of."

including when and how it is likely to occur. Staff from both NYSDOT and VTrans will be available following the formal portion of each meeting to discuss this information. In addition to being open to the general public, "consulting parties" as defined under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act who are interested in participating in the Lake Champlain Bridge replacement project are invited to attend the public meeting and to submit a written request to become a consulting party to both NYSDOT and VTrans at R01-LakeChamplainBridge@dot.state.ny.us . Consulting parties should include information about their experience and a statement explaining why they believe their participation would contribute to a consideration of the project's effects on historic properties. The Lake Champlain Bridge was closed for safety reasons on Oct. 16 after it was discovered that piers supporting the bridge were dangerously deteriorated. The bridge provided a vital link for employment, commerce and medical care between Crown Point, New York, and Addison, Vermont. If the meeting needs to be postponed due to inclement weather, the meeting would be held on Sunday, Dec. 13, at the same time and place.

A draft story about the students newsroom visit was written by the students and Eagle staffers and placed on the website at www.denpubs.com under the banner heading “newspapers”. The story appeared on both The Eagle and Rutland Tribune landing pages for the students and public to view. The apprenticeship program’s mission statement requires students to sign contracts to meet various goals which include news writing, writing style, teamwork, work responsibility and self direction. The students will also manage the creation of two new school publications, according to Carter.

CAR CARE CENTER

MIDDLEBURY —Five students from Beeman Elementary School in New Haven visited the office of New Market Press, publisher of the Eagle and Rutland Tribune on Dec. 2. The students, in the fifth and sixth grades, are part of a six-week-long apprenticeship program in journalism. The teacher coordinator of the program is Annette Carter. “I am learning a lot about newspapers here. We’re working on a tabloid and class newspaper,” said Morgan Pratt, a sixth grader at the school. “I am very excited about it.” Students were introduced to Eagle Office Manager Leslie Scribner and Louis Varricchio, managing editor, of the newspapers. Varricchio discussed how newspapers are created, how freelance photographers and writers interact, how editorials are submitted, and how advertising generates all funds needed for producing and distributing free-circulation newspapers. Students had various comments about the apprenticeship experience: “The reason we’re here is that we want to get better at writing,” said Danielle Morse, a sixth grader. “Well, I am learning about how to form my writing and make it exciting. My goal is to be more expressive in my writing,” said Jackie Reiss, a fifth grader. “I love to write a lot and elaborate on my work. I want to make my work more interesting and make people want to read it,” said Alicia Stone, a sixth grader. “I like to write, too, because it’s fun. I like to write about what happens to me, so I keep a journal,” said Ellie Gevry. Students planned to take information gleaned from their tour of the weekly newspaper office and write articles about their visit. Next, the students plan to create a school newspaper as part of the apprenticeship experience. “We’re using newspapers as part of the program to match students to both their needs and strengths,” said Carter. “The students are powerful writers and that’s why we want to fine-tune their skills. It’s challenging to form habits of good writing in six weeks. A major emphasis is that we don’t use dead words, dead verbs—we like to say that we ‘put them to rest.’” The apprentices also learned about the editorial management

Living on the Moon T

he modern idea of humans living on the Moon had its origin in 19th and 20th century science fiction literature. While researchers, notably Russian rocket pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, began to contemplate the technology required to escape Earth’s gravity for a journey to the Moon as early as 1890, it was not until 1938—when the British Interplanetary Society completed the world’s first scientific study of a lunar space vehicle—that the idea began to interest a wider community of space thinkers and experimenters. In the decade following World War II, several detailed lunar base studies were published. These concepts captured the public imagination. Arthur C. Clarke’s book The Exploration of Space, published in 1951, followed in 1953 by Willy Ley’s, Fred Whipple’s and Wernher von Braun’s book The Conquest of the Moon, presented realistic plans and colorful illustrations showing how humans could travel to the Moon and construct outposts there. “It seems likely that, well before the end of this century,” Clarke wrote in 1947, “an attempt will be made to form some permanent colony on the Moon.” By the late 1950s and early 1960s—with the launching of Sputnik, and successful tests of large rockets and humans in near-Earth space—the possibility of men and women traveling to, and living on, the Moon attracted United States and Soviet Union space planners. In 1959, the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency selected H.H. Koelle with von Braun to complete the first serious, technically detailed plan to construct a lunar base. Classified “top secret” and dubbed Project Horizon, the plan would have used heavylift Saturn rockets to place a crew of 12 on the Moon in pressurized underground modules. Abandoned within a year of its introduction, Project Horizon was credited with providing some of the technological framework for the U.S. Project Apollo. During the 1960s and 70s, both the Americans and Soviets moved ahead cautiously with lunar-base concepts. In the U.S., several studies employed surplus Apollo hardware for returning to the Moon. In the Soviet Union, the Zvezda (Star) concept envisaged six crewmen living in small modules. Ironically, after the first manned lunar landing in 1969, the popularity of returning to the Moon permanently began to wane. However, in 1989, U.S. President George H.W. Bush’s Space Exploration Ini-

Rebalancing education cost and value

ow can Vermonters get equal or better educational outcomes for their children, with fewer taxpayer dollars? That intriguing question has rarely if ever been squarely posed. A State Board of Education's policy commission is laboring to produce "transformation" policies, with no attention to what those policies might cost taxpayers. A legislatively-created committee (a majority of which are teacher union-dependent) is currently trying to find an affordable way to finance the current system of education. It's not unreasonable to suspect that it will recommend offloading current education expenses (notably health insurance) onto some other taxpayer account, plus creating a new mega-organization in the name of (supposed) "greater efficiencies in delivery." A completely different approach is that of the Commission on Rebalancing Education Cost and Value. This private sector commission, created by the Ethan Allen Institute, consists of 15 former superintendents, principals, school board and Senate education committee members, and PhDs. Its chair is Chris Robbins, who just completed a six year term on the State Board of Education and is also the current Chair of VSAC. In his foreword to the report, Robbins says "The fundamental premise of this report is that a policy of creating an ever-enlarging 'system', directed from the top down, populated with thousands of teachers, administrators, and bureaucrats, controlling the annual expenditure of $1,450 million taxpayer dollars, jealously protective of the benefits enjoyed by the people employed in the 'system', and dismissive of the abilities and preferences of parents and children, is a policy headed off in a totally wrong direction." "Such a policy will, ultimately, and despite the best intentions of many persons within that system, shortchange our students, defeat the preferences of many parents, and spend ever escalating amounts of taxpayer dollars for little or no added educational benefit." "Instead of enlarging and fortifying the "system", we recommend deconstructing the current 'system" and rebuilding it based on the needs and desires of parents and students." The new report, entitled Better Value, Fewer Taxpayer Dollars, includes a detailed economic analysis of today's public education system. That analysis concludes that "it is very clear than Vermonters - taxpayers and parents - are not getting their money's worth from our very high per pupil education spending. It is also clear that this spending trend is unsustainable." The Commission believes that "the great majority of parents and children have the capacity to identify the kind of education most suitable to their children's needs and preferences, and that public financial support for education should flow not through overgrown and nonproductive bureaucracies, but directly through the consumers to a wide array of educational providers, some public, some private, that attract revenues by offering a product that their customers want."

The Commission recommends giving tuition certificates to students instead of payments to schools, as is now done in 90 Vermont tuition towns. It advocates creation of charter schools, now in operation in forty other states, and more virtual schooling. It supports tax credits for Student Tuition Organizations (to fund scholarships to faith-based schools), and Education Freedom Districts (where voters could create their own education models). The Commission also recommends that compliance with the Federal special education mandate be made a responsibility of the State Department of Education. It would contract with appropriate providers, including public schools, for free and appropriate services for eligible students, and defend against lawsuits. A table in the report suggests that if parents chose to send only 20 percent of today's public school children to independent schools and other educational programs costing typically half the per pupil cost of comparable public schools, education spending would decrease by $81 million a year. A 2008 Friedman Foundation poll revealed that 89% of Vermont voters favored independent, charter, virtual or home schooling over traditional public schools. If parents acted on those preferences, the savings to taxpayers could be as much as three times that amount. Moving to a competition and choice model, the report says, "will stimulate a vibrant, dynamic educational marketplace that will help our children acquire the skills they need to flourish in the 21st century, and put Vermont on the nation's map as a hotbed of imagination, innovation, and achievement." Such a shift would, of course, force many of our near-monopoly public schools to reshape their policies and programs, to keep on attracting revenue-paying students. This will stimulate furious opposition from the least imaginative and most security-conscious public school officials, plus the Vermont-NEA teachers union. That's understandable. But most parents and taxpayers probably believe that they - as well as our schoolchildren - will benefit more from dynamic 21st century competition and choice in education, than paying ever more to keep the 20th century monopoly system alive. John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute (www.ethanallen.org) and served as a member of the Commission on Rebalancing Education Cost and Value.

SATURDAY December 12, 2009 tiative called for a small lunar base by 2008. President Bill Clinton canceled the initiative in 1992, but the idea was revitalized by President George W. Bush in 2004. Now Bush’s lunar proposal is being threatened by the current Obama administration. Getting to the Moon is very doable with current rocket, spacecraft and computer navigation technology. What’s harder to overcome is the heavy gravity of America’s wavering political will to do the job. What's in the Sky: Look for Herschel's Garnet Star in the northwest around 11 p.m. this weekend. Also known as Mu Cephei, the Garnet Star, is a dying supergiant star. If it were set in place of the Sun, it would occupy the inner solar system to between Jupiter and Saturn. The deep-sky open star cluster IC 1369 is nearby (magnitude 6.0). Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., a former NASA science writer, lives in Vermont. He is the NASA/JPL solar system ambassador in Vermont.

Spider seeks fly for companionship, dinner

ecent news reports of Washington’s latest expansion initiative—to furnish bailout money to in-the-red newspapers, and with that money as enticement, to require acceptance of government oversight via “improved accountability” in reporting—came to my attention just as I was reading another just-announced Washington expansion initiative: to extend the National Transportation Safety Board’s reach over all municipal transit systems. Like most of the lamestream media, most public transit is markedly deficit-prone and for the same reason: potential customers find the information product or transportation service resistible even though inexpensive. Watching the Obama administration doing its thing “the Chicago Way” for the last 307 days (out of a probable total of 1,461) suggested that I should describe the consiglieri of Chicago-trained pol Rahm Emanuel going to the management of the rapidly bankrupting New York Times with “a (monetary) offer they can’t refuse”. Ah, the ever reliable Times— Recall Times reporter Walter Duranty who wrote repeatedly in the early ‘30s from Soviet Russia that the starvation of Ukrainian millions wasn’t happening (and got a Pulitzer Prize for his pro-Communist dispatches). Then, in the early ‘60s the Times chose not to report on thousands of dead Chicagoans rising temporarily from their graves to vote for their candidate JFK, and most recently the Times’ adopted CBSTV/Dan Rather style of fake reporting on the Bush and (even more so) Palin candidacies. Presently, most of the Fourth Estate is like the Times: deep in red ink. Continuing a long-term trend, here are last year ’s circulation numbers: Washington Post, -2.5 percent; New York Times, -3.5 percent; USA Today, -4.1 percent; L.A. Times, 5.5 percent; Chicago Tribune, -7.3 percent; and Boston Globe, -9.8 percent. Of major U.S. print media, only the Wall Street Journal posted a circulation gain, up 2.4 percent. All papers except the Journal would likely take the money (as well as the governmentaccountability/content tether) and run, just as they have been running, as faithful practitioners of left-ideology-favoring reportage. In Vermont, that group would include the Burlington Free Press and the Rutland Herald, but remarkably not the St. Johnsbury Caledonian-Record. Members of the give-us-money group would do a pro-forma protest about Fourth Estate independence, I’d guess, then demurely agree to be seduced if the price is right. It’s not as if they’ve had much independence to surrender; the Herald is already

heavily dependent on the Times for its op-ed page content. With that as background, my thoughts turned to an early 19thcentury Englishwoman named Mary Howitt. She who was the author of “The Spider and the Fly” in 1829. Contrary to what we were taught in grade school back in America’s Dark Ages, the theme of enticement-into-doom using exemplary insects practicing all-too-human behaviors wasn’t one of Aesop’s fables; it’s sufficiently well-known, even amongst recent high school graduates, that I need not recite the poem’s seven stanzas here. However, there’s a basic difference between the fly (which presumably doesn’t like being enticed, entrapped, and consumed) and such once-iconic leaders of the print media as the now broke Philadelphia Inquirer I am sure the Inquirer folks would be delighted to achieve the nearest condition to immortality—becoming a quasi-governmental agency like a regulated public utility— and secure a permanent paid place on the taxpayer payroll for doing what it already does quite effectively: using both op-ed opinion and selectively managed news content to advocate for progressively (pun intended) greater governmental involvement in ever more aspects of the American culture. The basic pattern has long been established: designated public utilities like CVPS and GMP are former independent free-market businesses that are now heavily regulated by government. This fact sets not only their areas of monopoly service but also what level and quality of services they provide. In return, these entities are guaranteed a ratepayer schedule which will insure them a return on equity in the 10 percent range. Heck, to make that kind of money, most contemporary newspapers would even report—if so ordered—as did the New York Times during the Depression, that (to quote Lincoln Steffens’ evaluation of the Soviet Union) “I have seen the future and it works”. Retired vermont architect Martin Harris gleefully observes Vermont from a tax haven in Tennessee.

THE EAGLE - 5

A bridge to last 100 years With good stewardship, Middlebury’s new bridge could last a lifetime plus By Lou Varricchio MIDDLEBURY — “London Bridge is Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down... Iron and steel will bend and bow, Bend and bow, bend and bow, Iron and steel will bend and bow, My fair lady.” — English nursery rhyme stanza, 1740s These days, the old nursery rhyme “London Bridge is Falling Down” has a shrill ring in my ears as it might well have in the ears of many fellow Addison County residents. In light of a certain unlucky 80-year-old bridge spanning a nearby lake, London Bridge ain’t the only thing falling down. It’s ironic that as we prepare to watch the rapid disassembly of the Lake Champlain Bridge on the county’s west side, we can watch the methodical assembly of a new span on the east side. Middlebury’s abuilding Cross Street Bridge, while not a very fetching structure compared to its crumbling, art-deco cousin to the west, provides a lesson at a time when our transportation infrastructure—and its stewards—all look rotten to the core. And when we consider the ancient Roman bridges and viaducts that still support traffic and waterways—some built centuries before the birth of Christ—we have to wonder: what went wrong, structurally, on Lake Champlain? J. P. Carrara and Sons, Inc.—with concrete fabrication and sand and gravel operations located on Case Street (Route 116) in East Middlebury—is a major player in the building of Vermont’s newest bridge in downtown Middlebury. The business employs 150 workers during the height of the construction season. Certainly, being a big player on the local bridge project was a boon for this company; the bridge is also creating a boomlet for our local heavy construction sector. Carrara, with headquarters in North Clarendon, Vt., is a third-generation family owned and operated company. It produces sand and stone aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, and precast/prestressed concrete products. Founded in the 1940s by Italian immigrant Joseph P. Carrara, Sr., the company appears to be as enduring as those old Roman bridges; it has expanded to become an honest, reliable, safety minded partner in several notable New England construction projects including the latest, upscale high-rise apartment tower project in New Haven, Conn. I talked with Project Manager Mike Weigand, P.E., Cararra’s young structural engineer. He is overseeing the three major beam segment tasks of the Cross Street Bridge project. Weigand is an introspective man, a personality trait you definitely want in an engineer responsible for building structures that must safely bear the weight of automotive and human traffic. “It takes a skilled team to build a bridge or a building,” said Weigand. “Regarding the Cross Street project, Carrara is part of a team that includes VHB, Inc., a design and engineering firm based in Watertown, Mass.—with an office in North Ferrisburgh—and Corven Engineering, a bridge engineering firm based in of Tallahassee, Fla. We’re an important part of the bridge’s design team.” Weigand unrolled the blueprints of the new bridge atop a big conference table at the Carrara office in East Middlebury. He pointed to Egyptian-like scribbles on the prints that describe the engineering guts of the multi-million dollar construction project. “There are a few standouts about this project,” Weigand said. “For example, the bridge will be the longest span of its kind in North America.” Of its kind means Carrara’s use of giant precast/prestressed concrete beams known by engineers as New England bulb-tee beams. These regionally distinct beams are ideally suited to our crazy weather extremes and high atmospheric moisture. The beams include special hollow ducts that hold cabling that is used to help shape and ultimately support the downtown span. “If you saw Carrara’s big truck transporting the beams along Route 7 to the Otter Creek construction site by Mr. Ups Restaurant in downtown Middlebury last week, then you saw a lot of careful work with proven technology,” he said. Carrara made the enormous beams in a giant 270-feet-long casting bed at its Addison County facility. The beams include spaces for the cabling ducts where high-strength cables— called post-tensioning cable—are eventually pulled through and then “stressed” to 44,000 pounds of tension with the aid of a jack-and-chuck system. When completed, the individual beams will be “joined” together, at the joints, to simulate a much longer concrete structure. The bridge’s approach spans measure 120 feet making the entire simulated structure 480 feet in length— quite a structure even by ancient Roman engineering standards. When an 8-inch thick concrete overdeck is added, the project will be ready to support traffic sometime during Sep-

tember 2010. “We’ll perform the wire tensioning at the site before the winter sets in,” Weigand said. “And when the tensioning process is completed, we will fill the ducts with grout over several days.” Regarding the sorry condition of the now doomed Lake Champlain Bridge, Weigand said a lot of the problems stem with non-reinforced concrete piers as well as neglect. “There have been advancements in concrete production between the 1920s, when the closed lake bridge was built, and today. With non-reinforced concrete as you see in that bridge, loads and stresses cause serious cracks; the underwater environment takes its toll, too. The old structure can’t hold itself together,” he said. “But with a reinforced concrete structure, you have the same loads and stresses, but the material is bound together making it more durable, more flexible, if you will.” I wondered out loud about the April 2002 Champlain Val-

ley Earthquake which seriously damaged portions of N.Y. Route 9N and cracked chimneys on both sides of the lake. Did the earthquake hasten the demise of the Lake Champlain Bridge? “I can’t say,” said Weigand. But I think he knows that the lake bridge had been neglected by its so-called stewards. Perhaps he was being too polite to call attention to the fact? When I asked Weigand how long the Middlebury bridge will last, the engineer smiled. “There’s no reason why the new bridge shouldn’t last 100 years,” he said. “Of course it will depend on wear and tear—and proper maintenance.” Let’s hope that future stewards of the Cross Street Bridge will do a better job than the those who failed to keep an eye on the Lake Champlain Bridge. And as an ancient Roman engineer might have said to wish a neighbor the best of health—Centum annus! May you live 100 years.

How ‘Catalina’ coupons can help you save

f you’ve shopped for groceries at a large supermarket, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the long “string” of coupons that print out at the register along with your store receipt. These checkout coupons, or “Catalinas,” as coupon shoppers commonly call them, are incredibly valuable to coupon shoppers. (Catalina Marketing Corp. introduced the computer system that issues checkout coupons about 25 years ago, although the company says it’s not sure how or why shoppers picked up on the name.) If you’ve ever taken a look at the kinds of Catalinas that print after your shopping trip, you’ll notice that they typically fall into three categories: money-off coupons for specific products, coupons for money off on your next shopping trip or alerts of upcoming sales. A shopper receives money-off Catalinas when the UPCs of certain items in their cart are scanned at checkout time. The register “sees” a certain brand or type of item you are purchasing and spits out a Catalina that offers a discount on a competing item that you may consider purchasing in the future. Last week I purchased a certain brand of apple juice and received a $1 checkout coupon for a competitor ’s brand of apple juice. You may even receive a coupon for a free item! Just in the last month, I bought one variety of pet treats and received a coupon for a free package of treats from a competing brand. A couple of weeks later, I bought one brand of yogurt and received a Catalina for a free 4-pack of a competitor ’s brand of yogurt. The second type of Catalina is issued during a general money-back sale at the store. You may see a store ad that states, “Buy any 10 products in this group and receive $10 off your next order.” That $10 savings comes in the form of a checkout coupon good for $10 off your next shopping trip. The discount is good on anything in the store. It’s just like having $10 cash to spend. The third kind of checkout coupon is an “alert.” These coupon alerts aren’t technically coupons, since they don’t offer money off anything in particular, but they do contain details of an upcoming sale at the store. These “secret” sales are typically not advertised in any of the store’s flyers, so these checkout alerts are the only way shoppers can get in on the savings. Unfortunately, many shoppers consistently overlook the value of checkout coupons. It’s true that carrying a long, somewhat cumbersome ticker-tape of Catalinas with your

receipt as you exit the store can be a mild annoyance. But the value of all three of these varieties of coupon cannot be overstated. They’re all important, and you should save them all. I certainly do! Just as we save all of our coupons that come in the newspaper, even the ones for things we think we may not buy, saving all of our Catalina coupons ensures By Jill Cataldo that we’ll have them on hand in case those items go on sale too. Almost two months ago, I received three $1 coupons for a smoothie beverage that I’d never tried before. Even though this is a product I wasn’t terribly interested in purchasing, I held onto the Catalina coupons. A few weeks ago, just before those coupons were due to expire … the smoothies went on sale for $1. Because I’d saved my Catalinas, now I got three of them for free! © CTW Features

To the editor: Way to go Bristol Police Department! You had to grand stand didn’t you? While volunteers were handing out turkey dinners for Thanksgiving, the department just couldn't resist showing these wonderful people what big shots they are. While volunteers were doing a real community service, the police department was handing out parking tickets to these real community minded people. The chief and crew had a chance to show everyone that they are a real part of the community, but as usual, they screwed it up. Any other police department would have jumped in and helped the volunteers. Not in Bristol though, huh? Tell us: what do you think these people are going to do the next time the local police ask the village of Bristol for funds for one of the police chief ’s dumb projects? They are going to tell you, buzz off. Burt DeGraw Bristol

THE EAGLE - 7

The joy of Liber unUsualis T

he Lane Series brought us an early music ensemble, originally named Liber unUsualis (a take-off on the book “The Liber Usualis” that presented all the special prayers to be used on specific days of the year, as well as the basic format of the Roman Catholic Mass and its common prayers). Now this book is called, simply, “Liber”. Melanie Germond, soprano, and William Hudson, tenor, are the core group. Matthew Leese, baritone, and Katheryn Mueller soprano, were the guest members of this new group. The concert held Dec. 4 at the University of Vermont Recital Hall, with the title “Nowell: Christmas Songs Old and New”, was comprised of old texts—either in their original settings or of the same old texts in modern settings by 20th century composers such as Lennox Berkeley, Peter Maxwell Davies, Hugo Distler and John Harbison. The spirit of the music was uniform, regardless of the century in which it was written. I especially admired the setting of the text “I Sing of a Maiden”. The sound of this group is pure, which makes the harmonics and the dissonances crystalline clear. It makes for

exciting listening where the crossing lines generated both strong dissonances and compelled forward motion. The ensemble’s stage presence is neutral without being drab or overly scholarly. Germond’s singing of “O viridissima”, a work attributed to Hildegard von Bingen, had both the purity of sound and the certain inner ecstasy necessary to make the work rise above the pedestrianism of the overly learned. Although there were slight little bumps in the concert’s first-half—lack of total synchronicity between the two sopranos on their entrance chant, and a bump in a duet by the two male members—the concert moved along swimmingly.

Taxpayer funds going to VELCO RUTLAND — Gov. Jim Douglas welcomed the news last week that Vermont’s electric utilities will receive $68,928,650 in competitive federal stimulus funds to deploy Smart Grid technology including advanced metering and grid automation technologies statewide. Four-hundred applications totaling $17 billion were submitted nationally. Vermont’s coordinated statewide application was one of 100 that were funded and constitutes roughly 2 percent of the total $3.4 billion awarded. The grant from the Department of Energy, announced today, will cover half the costs of almost $138 million in planned improvements by utilities across Vermont. The successful application was a joint effort by all Vermont utilities, the Department of Public Service, the Office

of Economic Stimulus and Recovery, and Vermont’s congressional delegation. The statewide grant application, known as eEnergy Vermont, was filed on behalf of all of Vermont’s electric distribution utilities, Efficiency Vermont and Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO), the state’s transmission utility, which worked together on the project along with the Vermont Office of Economic Stimulus and Recovery, the Vermont Department of Public Service, and Vermont’s congressional offices. VELCO was the lead applicant In Vermont, smart grid projects will include a statewide fiber optic build-out by VELCO that enhances Vermont’s grid, improves interconnections with surrounding states and Quebec, and facilitates statewide broadband.

Planning Commission awarded $250,000 in taxpayer funds Energy upgrades for towns HINESBURG — The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission has been awarded $250,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The funds are paid for by U.S> taxpayers. CCRPC has created a Chittenden County Regional Energy Grant program to make the funds accessible to local cities, towns and non-profit organizations for projects promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency. Grant applications for the taxpayer funds are requested

for projects that benefit communities with a focus on energy efficiency, conservation, or generationstated by the U.S. DOE. Multi-municipal and regional proposals are encouraged. “We are excited to be able to bring this opportunity to our communities to increase energy efficiency and develop renewable energy sources,” said Charlie Baker, CCRPC’s executive director. All grants must meet both EECBG eligibility as well as CCRPC’s application review criteria and are due Friday, Jan. 15, 2010. Questions can also be directed to Samantha Tilton, CCRPC Staff Planner at stilton@ccrpcvt.org.

Monkton creates electronic news outlet MONKTON — The Monkton Community Coffeehouse launched Monkton Talk, a bi-weekly community e-mail newsletter. At the June 8 community conversation the coffeehouse sponsored last year, one of the highest priorities residents identified was the need for a community bulletin board to facilitate communication, exchanges, and new initiatives in town. “For a town like Monkton that is large enough to have once supported seven community schools, said Cassandra Corcoran, a board member of the Coffeehouse, “a virtual bul-

letin board seems like a timely and powerful way to connect with each other on important issues of community interest as well as to exchange goods and services.” “If you have something to sell or are looking for something to buy, if you have a neighborhood issue you want to talk about, if you need a babysitter or want to start a petition or publicize a community event, post it on Monkton Talk, the e-Bulletin Board.” Residents in the greater Monkton area can sign-up for the free newsletter by emailing their contact information to monkton.talk@gmail.com. .

Taggart tags Mt. Abe Eagles in weekend play By Frederick Pockette Harrison Taggart poured in 18 points to lead his Mill River Minutemen to a 62-48 win over the visiting Mount Abraham Eagles in boys high school basketball last Friday evening in North Clarendon. Matt Doaner (13 points) and Nate Halligan (10 points) contributed another 23 points between them. The MAUHS Eagles were paced by Shawn Marcelle and Bela Dobkowski who scored 14 and 12 respectively. Mount Abraham fell to 01 with the loss while the Minutemen improved to 2-0 with the win. Fellow Addison County representative, the Middlebury Tigers, were also on the wrong end of another lopsided affair last Friday night. Mac Stannard scored 15 points and Bela Dobkowski added 11 more, and their Fair Haven Slaters rolled over the visiting Middlebury Tigers 61-36. Christian Doran contributed 8 points and 10 boards to the Slaters win. Middlebury, who dropped to 0-2 with the loss, was lead by Dennis Brodford with 16 points. In Proctor the four time defending Division IV champion Proctor Phantoms, behind a balanced scoring attack and fantastic defense, easily dispatched the Rochester Rockets 5223 to open their 2009-10 season. Zach Currier, Nate Salgo and Matt Dobart had ten points apiece to lead Proctor. Rochester, who fell to 0-1 with the defeat was paced by Ethan White, who behind five 3-pointers, scored 17 of the Rockets 23 points. The Proctor Phantoms girl’s team opened up their season with an impressive win themselves last Friday night in Ludlow. Like the boys the ladies utilized stellar defense to hold a commanding 33 - 6 lead, and rolled on from their to defeat the Presidents in their own Tournament 57-22. Offensively Mikayla Tanner led the charge with 14 points, while her teammates Megan Carter and Carissa Elrick contributed ten piece to the win. Kaitelynd Palmer led the 0-1 Presidents with eight points. In other girls action in Townsend the Fair Haven Slaters turned in an impressive 45-35 road win over the hometown Leland and Gray Rebels. Fair Haven’s Val Sawin led all scorers with 21 points, while freshman Ashley Goddard

The Panthers took a 2-0 lead just 2:51 into the second period, when Brett Brazier finished off a flurry in the Nor ’easter crease for his first career goal. Sullivan scored his second of the game at the 14:11 mark of the second period, putting home his own rebound. The lead grew to 4-0 in the third period as Mathieu Dubuc broke in and beat UNE goaltender Dallas Ungurian just 13 seconds into the period for his team-leading sixth goal of the season. Bryan Curran scored his first goal of the year on the power play at 3:16, converting a great crossing pass from Martin Drolet. John Yanchek made 22 saves for his first career shutout for the Panthers, while Ungurian stopped 37 shots for UNE.

cats both won their opening round game of the Annual MSJ Tip-Off Classic last Friday night in Rutland. The two were scheduled to meet in the tournament championship game last Monday night in Rutland, after this papers deadline. In the opening game the Burr and Burton Bulldogs turned in a strong second half to pull away from and defeat the Otter Valley Otters 56-35. Burr and Burton Bulldogs Burr and Burton’s Chris Antonez led all scorers with 19 points. Joseph Keefe added another 10 for the Bulldogs who opened their 2009 / 2010 season with the impressive 21 point victory. Joey Massores scoed 10 points to lead the Otters, who dropped to 0-2 with the loss. In the second game the Twin Valley Wildcats jumped out to a 15-2 lead, and from their cruised to a 66-42 win over the tournament hosts MSJ Mounties. The Wildcats dominated the boards, ending with a 39-20 advantage. Eighteen of those rebounds were supplied by Troy Birch (11 rebounds) and Skyler Duncan (7 rebounds.) Senior Scott Hayford, who just missed a triple-double led the way with a dozen rebounds and was lso the game’s leading scorer with 29 points. He added 9 assists to an already impressive performance. It was the opening game of the season for both clubs.

Lake Monsters Update Times are a changing for the Vermont Lake Monsters in 2010. Game times that this. The Lake Monsters 2010 season season includes new start times for its weekend home games, the New York-Penn League team announced today. Vermont home games on Saturdays will now start at 6:05 pm, an hour earlier from previous seasons. Sunday home games will now start at 1:05 p.m., except for the Lake Monsters home game on Sunday, July 4, which will start at 4:05 p.m. In addition, the Lake Monsters annual afternoon game will become a morning game in 2010 when Vermont will host the Aberdeen Ironbirds starting at 11:05 a.m. on Thursday, July 25. All other weekday games Monday through Friday will continue to have start times of 7:05 p.m., while fans will be able to enter Centennial Field 1.5 hours before every game. “We are extremely excited to introduce some new game times to our fans,“ General Manager Nate Cloutier said . “I can’t think of a better way to spend a beautiful summer day than at a baseball game. Being outside in the summer with your family and friends is what makes Vermont so special.“

Vermont’s seventeenth New York-Penn League season will begin on Friday, June 18, when the Lake Monsters host the Lowell Spinners in the first of 38 home games at historic Centennial Field. The final home game of the season will be Friday, Aug. 27, against the Oneonta Tigers before the Lake Monsters head out on a nine-game roadtrip (Aug, 28-Sept. 5) to end the regular season. With no changes in teams or divisions for the 2010 season, the Lake Monsters will once again compete in the Stedler Division with Lowell, Oneonta and Tri-City. Vermont will play home-and-away against the McNamara Division (Aberdeen, Brooklyn, Hudson Valley and Staten Island), while the Pinckney Division’s Auburn, Batavia and Williamsport teams will visit Centennial Field. The 2010 Vermont Lake Monsters coaching staff will have a familiar look as manager Jeff Garber and hitting coach Paul Sanagorski both return for their second season with the New York-Penn League team, the Washington Nationals announced today with the release of their minor league coordinators and field staffs. Garber led the 2009 Lake Monsters to a 33-41 record in his first season as manager in Vermont. TLake Monsters no. 12 manager in the team’s 17 seasons, Garber will also be the fifth to manage more than one year at Vermont. It will also be his third year with the Nationals organization after serving as the Field Coordinator for the Washington Minor League system in 2008. Sanagorski returns for his second straight season as hitting coach for the Lake Monsters, while Franklin Bravo will be Vermont’s pitching coach in 2010. Bravo is another familiar face returning to the Lake Monsters, having been Vermont’s pitching coach back in 2004. Bravo was also slated to be the Lake Monsters pitching coach in 2009 before being reassigned to Single-A Hagerstown shortly before the season started. Lake Monsters pitching coach Joel Sanchez will hold that position with the Gulf Coast League Nationals in 2010, while 2005 Vermont manager Bobby Williams will be the GCL Nationals Manager. Williams had spent the past three seasons as Washington’s Player Development Director. The Lake Monsters 2010 season begins on Friday, June 18, when Vermont hosts the Lowell Spinners at historic Centennial Field

Men’s hoops unbeaten with win over Union Tim Edwards returns after injury From Middlebury College News Reports MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College went on a 28-7 run to open the second half and cruised to a 7656 win over Union on Saturday at Pepin Gym.

Big statewide property tax increases projected Gov. Jim Douglas urged Vermont State Legislative leaders to make property tax reform a top priority next session. If left unaddressed, rates will skyrocket a staggering $0.22, an increase of more than 25 percent in the next three years. Lawmakers learned this week that residential and non-residential property tax rates next year will increase $0.02, further adding to the burden of our struggling families and businesses. The governor has pushed for comprehensive changes for the past several years but lawmakers have not acted to reform our education funding system. “During this difficult economic time, we cannot allow property taxes to continue to increase on the people of Vermont. We must act

Off

quickly to reform our education spending system,” said Douglas. “The time for studies and hearings is over. We must act during the next session to address this economic crisis.” In his statutorily required letter to lawmakers making the mandatory, formula driven, property tax rate change, Tax Commissioner Rich Westman echoed the governor ’s call for action, “Education funding is a fundamental state responsibility. Sustainability and equity are cornerstones of that system and when those fundamentals are in question, solutions and actions are expected. It will be necessary for all of us to engage the very difficult decisions before us with speed and determination, lest Vermonters be further burdened beyond

ORWELL — “We did it again!” said Joan King of Orwell. King is president of the Orwell’s Fortnightly Club, a group of community spirited women. On Dec. 5, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., King said Fortnightly members volunteered their time to crew club’s table at the St. Paul’s Christmas Bazaar where they sold crafts to support a variety of area holiday causes. “Loretta Lee and Lindy Brown crewed the table for the morning shift while Lindy Brown, Joan King and Anne Harper took the afternoon shift,” King said. Members donated an item or a craft product to sell at the bazaar. “We have special thanks to Anne Harper who donated so many beautiful things for us to sell. As usual, it was a very good fundraiser and many thanks to all members who participated and all our customers who purchased our wares. The monies we collect throughout the year from our fundraisers will be shared with our community in one way or another,” King said. Donations raised by the club are given to Shareheat, Orwell Rescue Department, Orwell Fire Department, Whiting Food Cupboard and Food Shelf, the local High

State plans aggressive, invasive insect control Gov. Jim Douglas announced this week that the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation was awarded nearly a half-million dollars of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act taxpayer funds from the U.S. Forest Service to control invasive insects and plants and provide conservation education programs in state parks and recreation areas within the Green Mountain National Forest. The 16-month project will allow state officials to control the spread of invasive plants and insects on state and National Forest Service lands, by conducting pest surveys, limiting firewood movement and enhancing native species recovery for ash, butternut and chestnut. The funds will also allow the department to hire and train seasonal “park interpreters”, restoring the popular conservation education program in Vermont’s State Parks and expanding it to recreation areas within the Green Mountain National Forest. Park interpreters educate visitors, and local community members, on important firewood policies, invasive insect and plant pest issues. They also coordinate other conservation education program activities, like nature walks and children’s programming, that enhance the park experience. 35056

The damage ranged from smashed car windows and severely dented body panels to home siding being damaged as a result of the rocks being thrown. An estimated $15,000 in total damages occurred amongst all of the reported incidents. A list of suspects were developed and resulted in the confessions and arrests of several area juveniles. The incidents are still being investigated and there are more possible arrests forthcoming.

Videographer receives state award

Gov. Jim Douglas, a Middlebury resident, presents Vermont filmmaker Caro Thompson the Hathaway Award. MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Historical Society is pleased to announce that Caro Thompson received the 2009 Richard O. Hathaway Award for her Broadwing Productions video documentary “Champlain, the Lake Between”. Gov. Jim Douglas presented the award during the Historical Society's annual meeting. Thompson’s acceptance speech noted that she was inspired to create the documentary at a 2003 Vermont Historical Society symposium. At that gathering of historians, former VHS President Sam Hand identified the upcoming Quadricentennial of Samuel de Champlain's exploration of the lake as an opportunity for further research on the subject. Receiving Honorable Mention recognition were Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina for the book “Mr. and Mrs. Prince: How an Extraordinary 18th Century Family Moved Out of Slavery and Into Legend”, and Vince Franke and William Doyle for their video documentary, “Life in Chittenden County”. The Hathaway Award was created to stimulate outstanding work in the field of Vermont history. It is dedicated to the memory of Richard O. Hathaway, whose lifelong work teaching Vermont history was an inspiration to his colleagues and to the many students he taught and mentored, both inside and outside academia.

ADDISON — On Dec. 2, at approximately 4:59 p.m., Vermont State Police conducted a motor vehicle stop on Mountain Road at the intersection of Route 17 in Addison for defective equipment. The left rear tail light on the vehicle was out and not functioning. During the stop, the registered owner (a passenger) of the vehicle Bruce D. Chamberlain produced marijuana he had been smoking in the car just before the stop. Also, in plain view inside the vehicle were 94 hydrocodone pills that were not prescribed to Chamberlain. A consent search of the vehicle yielded another approximate 328 grams (11o.z.) of processed marijuana, clone seeds, and a digital scale. Chamberlain was taken into custody and cited for possession of marijuana as well as possession of a controlled substance.
