Nothing hardly ever happens in Vermont An Appetizer & Two Dinners for $20!
Very few know that 75-yearold Vermont photographer Peter Miller is also a talented writer. Those who carefully read his “Vermont Trilogy” (including Vermont People, Vermont Farm Women and Vermont Gathering Places) knew he could craft words but his ability stands out starkly in “Nothing Hardly Ever Happens in Colbyville, Vermont,” a collection of stories, articles and letters that span three decades of writing. Colbyville is the tiny hamlet where Miller’s home and studio have been for over a quarter century. That blip of a town on the radar between Waterbury and Stowe is made larger than life in Miller’s latest work. Miller, concentrates on his storytelling skills in Colbyville and treats the reader to a no holds bar look at the lay of the land beneath the window of his writing desk, perched above an ever expanding Route 100, as well as his own backyard that shares a property line with Vermont’s empire of ice cream also known as Ben & Jerry’s. The immediacy of his observations lend a gravity to his critique of the forces that would trans-

form the State from a shining example of self reliance into little more than a plastic snowglobe for tourists to a have a shake at. Some of the essays contained in the book have appeared before in the pages of various regional magazines and these are interspersed with photos and newer works, but some of the book’s most enjoyable moments are held in collected letters to the editor of a Stowe newspaper. Wit and wisdom coated with a not so subtle sarcasm abound, and I found myself returning for rereads of these laugh out loud looks at the denizens and politics of Vermont’s ski capital caught in the author ’s crosshairs. Miller proves himself unashamed to say in print what many of us fear thinking too loudly and for that we are indebted to this septuagenarian. Miller began his career as a reporter for Life magazine in the late 1950s after a stint in the army and some time taking photos in Europe. He returned to Vermont to practice his art and craft without compromise. He takes advantage of the

One of the book’s prized works is “I Poach: Confessions of a Duck Hunting Addict Gone Astray”—a hilarious revelation that a popular glossy Vermont magazine refused to print after deeming it ‘too controversial’. This is followed by another hunting story of a stumbled upon a crime scene, a suicide, that reveals Miller ’s compelling, almost obsessive sensitivity to his surroundings.

“Nothing Hardly Ever Happens in Colbyville, Vermont” is published by Silver Print Press in a handsome hardbound edition. It will be thoroughly enjoyed by any literary local-vore but also by anyone interested in sharing in the unique perspective of Vermont’s most loveable curmudgeon -a man who champions what is true and best about our State while offering a reasoned resistance to its rapidly changing landscape. The values reflected in the book are perhaps best summed up in the author’s own words: "I feel there is a lack in the 21st century, of the qualities that made this country great: honesty, integrity, common sense, simplicity, frugality and responsibility to your neighbors, your community and the land…I have learned," he says, "that it sure is fun to travel, but the best material for photographs and for writing can be found in the region in which you live."

Ask Dr. Curtis Gross Chiropractor Q: Should athletic people; skiers, snowboarders, tennis players, etc. be under chiropractic care to maintain a nimble, fluid body? A: Over the past 20 years or so, there have been dramatic stories of chiropractic care with athletes. For some it is an acute neck problem such as with Charles Barkley in the Olympics at 3:00a.m. He played an excellent game the next day. Evander Holyfield won’t fight without getting adjusted throughout his training and the day of the fight. Lance Armstrong had a traveling chiropractor as part of his health team and had care every night of the Tour De France. Chiropractic care allows the body to function at its best. It loosens up and lubricates the joints that are adjusted. This reduces limitations and allows for a fuller range of motion with less friction and wear and tear. In addition to improving performance, speeding recovery from an injury and reducing the chances of injury, chiropractic care will allow both professional and weekend athletes to participate in sports for many more years before having to hang up their spikes.

BECKS A LLEY A NTIQUES
New bridge designs are under review Span demolition likely this month ADDISON — The New York State Department of Transportation and Vermont Agency of Transportation held a series of meetings in Ticonderoga Dec. 12 to update area residents on the bridge, which was closed Oct. 16 because of safety concerns, and efforts to replace it. The existing bridge will be torn down and a new bridge will be built at the same location in Crown Point. NYSDOT contractor Harrison & Burrowes Bridge Constructors, Inc. has secured a subcontractor to demolish the existing bridge. Advanced Explosives Demolition, Inc. of Idaho will, working for H&B, plan for and execute the controlled explosive demolition of the steel truss bridge. Officials said details on the bridge demolition will be well advertised and safe public viewing locations will be determined. The public will be prohibited from the area immediately surrounding the bridge, including the land, water and air. Access to certain roads also will be restricted to en-
sure public safety. During the presentations Dec. 12, DOT reviewed the design criteria for the new bridge and the feasible bridge types available for consideration. People were asked for input regarding features that should be included in the design, such as sidewalks, bicycle lanes, lighting and materials used, as well as the style of the new bridge. Stating that the goal is to move as quickly as possible to design a new bridge to replace the now closed one, officials of both NYSDOT and VTrans explained the pros and cons of the top five replacement alternatives which were on display. The six options include using a long-span steel girder bridge, a segmental concrete bridge, a steel composite cable-stayed bridge, a concrete extradosed bridge, a network tied arch bridge, or a modified network tied arch bridge. Photos and a matrix analysis may be reviewed at https://www.nysdot.gov/l akechamplainbridge/alternatives. Options for commemorating the existing historic bridge were also presented and discussed.
The meetings also addressed demolition plans for the existing bridge, including when and how it is likely to occur. Artist renderings showing each of the alternatives are also available on NYSDOT's website at www.nysdot.gov/lakecham plainbridge. NYSDOT officials also announced that high water has forced the termination of one of the three ferries serving Champlain Valley residents since the closure of the Champlain Bridge. The Westport-Basin Harbor, Vt., pedestrian ferry has shut down for the season. The New York State Department of Transportation and Vermont Agency of Transportation have been subsidizing ferry travel, and the Essex-Charlotte, Vt., and Ticonderoga-Shoreham, Vt., ferries will continue to run. The privately owned Shoreham-Ticonderoga Ferry normally closes at the end of October, but its owners agreed to stay open as long as possible while a temporary 24-hour ferry is set up next to the Champlain Bridge. That free ferry will open by the end of the year.

Life, death and peanuts
A
unt Laura, born in 1910, died Thanksgiving night 2009. Pretty good run of years. Laura lived to be 99; my dad lived to be 93. Paying Aunt Laura my last respects, I couldn’t help having the selfish thought that, if I live to my potential longevity, I’m not yet even half-way dead. Dad and Laura died in the same nursing home, one I’ve been visiting for five years. I’ll visit less now that Aunt Laura is gone, but I’ll still go to play guitar and chat with the other residents from time to time, especially a few I’ve come to befriend like Dottie, Aunt Laura’s roommate. Dottie is feisty in a Warren Beatty, Mae West, Madonna type way. Most everything you say to her she can take and turn back at you as a sexy quip. She makes me laugh, and she makes the nurses blush. I don’t think I have to tell you it takes a bit to make most elder care nurses blush. Believe me, I’ve had fun trying. They say deaths come in threes. After having spent five years regularly visiting a nursing home, I’ve become able to recognize certain signs that someone is nearing their end. During a recent late afternoon visit, I recognized a few of the signs in Dottie. The night I speak of, Dottie and I chatted for a good long while, but unlike most times when Dottie makes eye contact when we visit, she kept her head straight, her eyes staring at the ceiling, as she searched for each breath more intently. Dottie wasn’t saying much, though she did mention her kids, as always, and how they’d brought her from Florida so they could watch over her. “I want to go back,” Dotty said, separating each word with a breath or two. There was a dish of peanuts on her bedside that I was picking at while we visited. I wanted to leave to go eat dinner, but the more time passed, the more I felt I should stay, I felt it might be the last I’d see of Dottie. As we chatted and I nibbled Dottie’s dish of nuts, the minutes turned to hours, and I finally felt I needed to leave. I bent over a still, staring straight ahead Dottie, kissed her forehead like I always do, and said, “Dottie, I gotta go. I’ll drop by again.” Dottie didn’t answer. As I turned to leave, I noticed I’d eaten all of Dottie’s nuts. “Dotty, I’ve eaten all of your peanuts, I’ll be right back, I’m going to the kitchen to refill your bowl.” I hadn’t made another step when Dottie’s breathing rate increased while she lifted her right arm ever so slightly from the bed and pointed it toward me. She seemed just about up against her last bit of strength when she said, “Oh don’t worry hun, I just suck the chocolate out of them anyway.” Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly.

Ed and Fed: an empirical evaluation
O
f all the non-constitutional governance empires in the U.S. today, two are of particular interest to this scribe. One is public education, particularly in Vermont, where the K-12 establishment has managed over the last generation to create once-unimaginable costs producing no significant student achievement gains; the other is the U.S. Federal Reserve system which has managed, during its 95-year life-span since 1913, to evaporate 95 percent of the purchasing power of the dollar. Both empires have skillfully maneuvered to evade empirical evaluation of their actual performance. Quite unlike your quintessential private-sector widget sales-and-service guy— who lives or dies, economically, from the end-user evaluation of his product and/or service—both Ed and Fed are pretty much immune to competition. Those parents, who choose a non-public alternative for educating their children, must pay for both the public system they don’t want as well as the private one they do. Those who would compete with the Fed, in fiat money creation, will be dealt with by a platoon of Secret Service agents sporting dark suits and sunglasses and tasked to terminate all arbitrary, non-value based paper money creation—except when their client, the Fed, does it. But surprisingly, these days, Ed and Fed are on the defensive. In Vermont, it’s the combination of a down economy and a concurrent rise in the state property tax for schools (even Keynesians know better than to raise taxes during an earnings-dip) as the background to the educrat-created phenomenon of costs growing mostly because of staffing increases (even as enrollments shrink, which is causing the current angst. So far, parents have seemed (at least to me) strangely unconcerned with their school denying responsibility for producing any particular level of proficiency in the students it’s paid to teach. Nationally, I’d guess it’s the rise (more like a quantitative explosion, where the word ‘trillions’ has replaced mere ‘billions’ in the casual language of politicians) which has generated a new grassroots awareness of national debt and deficit levels—plus a surprising new grassroots opposition to what the Fed, egged on by Congressional and Executive branch bosses, has historically been doing. There have been lots of end the Fed signs visible at those conservative-populist tea parties so disdainfully dismissed by the blindered liberal-left majority. Neither Ed nor Fed will willingly address the empirical evi-
dence of the (in)effectiveness of its respective missions. In a recent Rutland newspaper story, superintendent Mary Moran wrote glowingly of “Our excellent public schools” without mention of the actual student proficiency rates: according to NAEP test scores, Vermont (of which Rutland is a not-unusual part), students are posting scores in the low 200s out of 500—meaning that well over half of vermont’s students can’t make proficient which means they can’t function at grade level. This is excellent? Similarly for the Fed, which won’t go near its 95-year-old track record, the empirically observed long-term pattern of diluting currency value out of 95 percent of its purchasing power, so that debt incurred now can be cheaply repaid later with inflation-devalued dollars by government, which is of course the unspoken motivation for Fed economists who clearly knew better in past years and know better now. The present Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said blithely to CNN on Nov 28 that “America needs a strong, non-political, and independent central bank [that’s his Fed and his job, of course] with the tools to promote financial stability and to help steer our economy to recovery without inflation.” Stability, eh? Just how and why Vermont educators can straight-facedly declare that their empire has produced “achievement excellence” and Federal Reserve economists can similarly assert that their empire has produced “currency stability” in stark contrast to all the empirical evidence against them, I know not. I do know, that during my years at a 30-student-averageclass-size probably non-excellent junior high school, we learned, almost as an English side-bar, that “empire” and “empirical” come from different Romance-language word roots. Don’t quiz your recent grad on that. Likewise, the history shows that, in the 124 years of no-Fed monetary management before 1913, private banking caused a currency devaluation of only 12%. It takes a lot of chutzpah for the ed and Fed folks to declare otherwise, and to assert that they’ve earned and deserve continuing citizen loyalty, trust, and support. Etymology clue: chutzpah comes from non-Romance-language roots. Retired Vermont school architect Martin Harris watches the fur fly in the north from his fortress of solitude in Tennessee.
Jill Cataldo’s ‘case of the confused cashier’
H
as this ever happened to you? You finish filling your cart with the week’s groceries, head to the checkout lane and place your items on the conveyor belt. The cashier announces the total and you hand over a nice stack of coupons. Then, the cashier pauses. You hear the words, “I don’t think we take coupons from the Internet.” The cashier hands them back to you and you ponder what to do next. While most of my shopping trips run smoothly, occasionally even your Coupon Queen encounters a cashier issue or two. So what do we shoppers do? One of our biggest tools to deal with checkout problems is the store’s coupon policy. Most stores have a written policy that states exactly how they handle coupons presented in the checkout lane. Many stores post the policies on their Web sites and others have a copy at the customer service counter in the store itself. What’s in a coupon policy? Information that shoppers can use to better plan our shopping trips! Coupon policies state specifics such as, We accept Internet coupons, We accept expired coupons or We accept competitors’ coupons. Everything we need to know about what kinds of coupons our stores should accept is spelled out for us right in the store’s policy. Armed with this knowledge, well-informed shoppers know exactly what coupons our stores should accept! The most commonly heard issue with cashiers does involve the store’s acceptance of printable Internet coupons. If you’re told that the store does not accept them, ask to see a copy of the store’s coupon policy. Most grocery stores and supermarkets do accept Internet coupons that are legitimately printed and are not photocopies. Unfortunately, due to the rise in coupon fraud, stores are getting more stringent about the kinds of Internet coupons that they will accept. Most legitimate Internet coupons contain a unique ID or barcode identifier and several other key features that stores use to ascertain a coupon’s validity. And any time the Coupon Information Corporation, a nonprofit organization that monitors coupon fraud, identifies a new, counterfeit coupon, it sends stores an alert to watch for coupons known to be fraudulent or counterfeit. However, when a fraud alert goes out, sometimes it has a
Raw dairy processing class hosted by Rural Vermont LINCOLN — Rural Vermont’s series of home dairy processing continues into the new year, and the first stop is in Addison County.

ripple effect. Our stores learn a new counterfeit coupon has been spotted in circulation. Instead of homing in on the specific coupon mentioned in the alert, some cashiers may find it easier not to accept any Internet coupons. This not only hurts shoppers, it hurts stores, too, since the large number of Internet coupons are legitiBy Jill Cataldo mate and perfectly fine for the store to accept. Marketers reimburse stores for the full value of every coupon shoppers redeem, whether the coupon ran in the newspaper, appeared in newspaper inserts, was found on a product package or was printed legitimately from the Internet. Would you like another piece of the cashier/coupon policy puzzle? I’ve heard from many cashiers that they get very little training on their store’s coupon policy. This puts coupon-savvy shoppers in an unusual situation. It’s possible that you may be more familiar with a store’s coupon policy than the cashier is. If you find yourself in this situation, never force the issue. Simply ask the cashier to check the store’s policy with the manager. You can politely let the cashier know that you’ve read it to make sure that all of the coupons you’re presenting are acceptable. A cashier issue most likely stems from a little confusion that isn’t the cashier’s fault at all. A cashier who questions your coupons may simply be trying to protect the store and do what they believe is right. We’ll continue to discuss commonly heard cashier coupon issues in the weeks ahead.

The agency has also stopped serving soda and junk foods at functions, and removed vending machines from its properties. In the recent past, heart-healthy tasting and cooking workshops have encouraged employees to eat nutritious, low-fat meals. The Counseling Service is

You can help support Vermont soldiers VERGENNES — As the new year approaches, Vermont is saying good bye to many of our citizens who serve as members of the National Guard. Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) AmeriCorps members at Champlain Valley Agency on Aging (CVAA) and local seniors want to make sure soldiers will be able to have some comforts from home. N2N members are kicking off "Operation Seniors Supporting Soldiers," a donation drive to collect items to put into care packages for our deployed National Guard troops. The donation drive is connected to the National Day of Service on Martin Luther King Jr Day. In 1994, Congress issued a National Call of Service Day in King’s legacy—asking volunteers to take action in their communities. According to the USO’s general list for items for care packages, soldiers would
like Energy Bars, Chewy Bars, Hard Candy (No Chocolate), Instant Drink Mixes, Instant Soup Mixes, Microwave Popcorn, Mints, Board Games, Batteries of any size, CDs/DVDs/videogames (for any game console), Magazines (nothing inappropriate), unscented personal items (i.e.: shampoo, deodorant, and body wash), baby wipes, and tweezers. During December and early January, donations will be accepted at these locations throughout Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle counties: Kinney Drugs on Shelburne Road, St. Albans Coop on Federal Street, St. Albans Free Library (starting in January), Pierson Library in Shelburne, Eagles Club in Vergennes, Ilsley Public Library in Middlebury, the Alburgh Public Library, and St. Paul’s Cathedral Church in Burlington. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 18,
Neighbor to Neighbor AmeriCorps members and seniors from Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle counties will meet at the Winooski Senior Center at 9am to assemble the care packages. In addition to collecting donations, N2N has set up work sessions to sew "cool ties," which contain water-absorbing granules and are worn around the neck to provide all day cooling relief through evaporation. Sewing work sessions will be held at Care Partners in St. Albans, Senior Community Meal at Vergennes Eagles Club, and Senior Community Meal at the South Hero Congregational Church. For more details on days and times contact N2N at CVAA at 1-800642-5119. For more information on the Operation Seniors Supporting Soldiers project call 1-800-642-5119.

Poking holes in the darkness T
here is a story about the author of “Treasure Island,” Robert Lewis Stevenson. I can’t verify the authenticity of it, but it goes like this: Stevenson had a difficult childhood due to illness. One night his nurse found him up, out of bed, with his nose pressed against the window. “Come here child,” she said to him, “you’ll catch your death of cold.” But he wouldn’t budge. Instead, he sat, mesmerized, watching a lamplighter slowly working his way through the black night, lighting each street light along his route. Pointing to him, young Stevenson said, “See, look there; there’s a man poking holes in the darkness.” While I can’t tell you for sure whether this story really happened, I like it because it speaks to me of what Christ’s coming means. Poking holes in the darkness. As the prophet Isaiah suggested many years before Christ, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness – on them light has shined.” Most have probably heard the Christmas story. Most Christians have probably heard the story of Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus so many times that it is hard to not let it dissolve into nostalgia. Yet it is not a story of sweet piety or sentimentality. It is a story about the intersection of God and humanity. It is a story about surprises and real hope offered. Real darkness and real light. The shepherds were the first to see the light. We often romanticize the shepherds. Peacefully watching their flocks, they come to Jesus with a sweet lamb draped around their shoulders. Yet a shepherd’s life was not easy.

To the editor: When stories about corruption, embezzlement and sub-par NECAP scores seem to dominate education news these days, how refreshing it was to read this story headlined: “Beeman student-journalists visit newspaper office.” This group of five smiling fifth- and sixth-graders will take part in a unique program that combines many features of what good education should be about. Most important of these is a teacher-coordinator who can guide them through the six-week apprenticeship program in journalism. Her name is Annette Carter and her ability to motivate is evident in statements by her students: “I am learning a lot about newspapers here,” said one sixth-grader about the New Market Press. “We’re working on a tabloid and class newspaper,” she said. “I am very excited about it.” “The reason we’re here,” said another, “is that we want to get better at writing.” A fifth-grader added, “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.” Another fifth-grader agreed: “I like to write, too, because it’s fun. I like to write about what happens to me, so I keep a journal.” Through their experience with The Eagle and Rutland Tribune, these young apprentices will not only sharpen their writing skills, they’ll get a chance to exercise their First Amendment rights while learning firsthand about career and

Shepherds were people of the night. Their flocks would be most vulnerable after dark, so it was then they had to be their most vigilant. They most likely became accustomed to seeing by moonlight and discerning shadows. So awake long after others had fallen By Rev. Krista Beth Atwood asleep, trying to protect their flocks from the predators of the night, they were suddenly surrounded by the glory of the Lord. “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness – on them light has shined.” We are sometimes like the shepherds sitting on dark hills, needing to be surprised by the divine, needing to hear hope. We are sometimes like Mary and Joseph, in unexpected circumstances beyond our control, pondering its meaning in our heart. And we are sometimes like Isaiah’s people, walking in darkness, stumbling along, praying for the light to illuminate our path. And it is into this world that Christ comes. He doesn’t wait until we have all the messiness of our lives cleaned up. Christ comes poking holes in the darkness, illuminating our lives, brightening our paths.
A Christian Life
Rev. Krista Beth Atwood is the pastor of Faith United Methodist Church in South Burlington, Vt. freelance opportunities in journalism... Ms. Carter is to be commended for her dedicated work with these apprentices to carry out the program’s mission statement, which includes creating two new school publications. As a strong believer in the role of newspapers, I believe that a class newspaper is the most impressive format to make students’ writing seem more important, and the act of writing itself more worthwhile. It's a great showcase. By setting a youngster ’s own words in type and publishing them, you are preserving them under the child’s byline — automatically giving these words more value, and the writer a sense of selfesteem. It completes the writing experience. Hats off! R. E. Merrill Bristol
The fate of old horses
To the editor: Last spring, after lengthy and careful consideration, I gave my horses to a local stable with the understanding that should the situation not work out positively for all parties, or should there be any changes or conditions in the status of my horses, I would be notified. After using my horses for their children’s riding camp all summer, the stable owners decided things were not working out and notified me that a new situation had been found. The new situation for my horses involved an individual inexperienced in horse care. I was not entirely confident of this new arrangement. I told the stable owners I would be willing to try it, with the understanding that my name and contact information be given to this gentleman should he have questions or should things not work out. I never heard another thing. While driving out of Middlebury a very short distance on Route 7 north, I passed a dairy farm where I noticed horses have been accumulating recently. I was shocked to see one of my horses in this herd of 12. After some detective work I was to find out that these horses were to be shipped to Canada for slaughter (my worst nightmare). Fortunately, the state of Vermont had quarantined this herd because the individual who accumulated them had not complied with the applicable regulations; therefore the horses were not cleared to be FAMILY EYE CARE FOR CHILDREN & ADULTS shipped for slaughter. With much appreciated and needed help from the Vermont state veterinarians and the police, I was lucky enough to be able to take my horse home, as I never gave Board-Certified Ophthalmology since 1997 owner consent for slaughter.

Six Middlebury College football players have earned AllEast Region honors from D3football.com.

Eric Kamback (Mahwah, N.J.) Dan Haluska (Wellesley, Mass.) and Stuart Lindberg (Perkasie, Pa.) earned third-team honors. The group helped lead the Panthers to a 5-3 mark this season, winning their last four games of ’09. McKillop earns a spot on the second-team after being named the NESCAC Offensive Player of the Year. The junior quarterback had a record-breaking season, ending the year with Middlebury and NESCAC single-season records for completions (262), attempts (405), yards (2873), touchdown passes (22), and total offense (2967 yards). He also holds all 10 Middlebury single-season and career passing records as a junior. McKillop is currently ranked first in the nation in completions/game with 32.75, while ranking second with 359.1 passing yards/contest. He ended the season as the league’s top rated quarterback, owning a 136.8 efficiency rating. The junior was second on the team with 94 rushing yards with a pair of touchdowns on the ground. He also holds Middlebury single-game records for completions (47), attempts (74) and yards (438). Joining McKillop on the second-team was Reed, who had a break-out season at tight end, starting all eight games and earning second-team All-NESCAC honors. He finished the season second on the team with 40 catches for 450 yards, earning a touchdown. The junior had some big games this season, including an 11-catch, 105-yard performance in Middlebury’s win over Trinity. He also had a 100-yard game earlier in the year with nine catches at Amherst. Millard, a third-team choice, made his first appearance on the NESCAC squad as a receiver and his third-straight firstteam appearance as a return specialist. He completed his senior season with 3,333 yards of total offense in his career. He is a two-time (’07 & ’08) All-NESCAC selection as a specialist, ranking third in the league with 149.1 yards of total offense/game. The senior became a key receiver this season for the Panthers, setting a new school record with 64 receptions to place him second in the NESCAC with 8.0/game. His 748 yards receiving were also second in the league, while he caught three touchdown passes. Millard earned over 100 yards in five games this season, including 148 yards on 13 catches in a win over Hamilton.

His teammate Robbie Dobrowski contributed a goal, and a pair of assists to the exciting win. But the real hero for CVU who improved to 2-2 with the win, was goalie Mark Albertson.

"In order to further improve our bilateral response capabilities," said Lt. Gen. Takeshi Sakai, commanding general of the JGSDF Northern Army, "I request that you all make coordination between our forces and make bold, daring attempts to meet new challenges with-

out fear of mistakes." "We will prepare ourselves for future threats and enhance our relationship, as well as gain a greater understanding of civil-military operations," said McCoy. More than 5,700 personnel will participate in the exercise. Yama Sakura, which means "Mountain Cherry Blossom," is an annual joint and combined full-spectrum training exercise. Supporting the 42nd Infantry Division in Japan are approximately 120 Soldiers with an additional 50 Soldiers deployed to Fort Lewis, Wash. for exercise support. Since its start in 1982, Yama Sakura has focused on the refinement of bilateral planning, coordination, and interoperability.

GUESTVIEWPOINT The Gray Mountain State
T
he Demographic Deathwatch... it’s not just for Europe, Russia, China, and Japan anymore! Some parts of America are acquiring demographic profiles that would qualify them for E.U. membership. Take the Green Mountain State. As Howard Dean was fond of saying during his 2004 presidential campaign, “Vermont is the way America ought to be.” If it is, we’re all done for. Its marquee brands are either Canadian-owned (Vermont Castings wood stoves) or European-owned (Ben & Jerry’s ice cream) and any non-foreign economic activity in the state long ago had any life regulatd out of it. But never mind all that. I ventured across the Connecticut River the other day and picked up the local paper, the Journal Opinion of Bradford, Vt. And among the other front-page headlines (“Newbury Will Mail Town Reports”; “Upcoming Sand Pile Talk”) was a story on how local school districts were in merger talks. No underlying reason was immediately given for the suddenly pressing need to merge: It seemed to be accepted as a natural feature of life that you can’t do anything about. And then a gazillion paragraphs into the story, the reporter finally explained what was going on: Throughout Vermont, student enrollment at public elementary and secondary schools is declining. According to figures from the state’s Department of Education, there were 104,559 students at those schools during the 1999–2000 school year. Last year, that figure was down to 92,572. Which is quite a drop. In fact, Vermont school enrollments have declined 13 years in a row. Since 1996, they’ve fallen by 13 percent, slumping below 100,000 in 2004 and projected to fall below 90,000 in 2014. The part of the state that my corner of New Hampshire borders is admittedly rural, and it’s not an unusual phenomenon for small towns to drain population to the big cities. But a couple of days later I was in the capital, Montpelier, and its school board is in merger talks with the neighboring towns of Berlin and Calais. If schoolkids are thin on the ground, the state’s total population has held steady—604,000 in 1999, 621,000 today. So Vermont is getting proportionately more childless. Which is to say that Vermont, literally, has no future. One school-board member whose enrollment has bumped from 600 to 500 and is now heading down to 400 told the paper: “What are we going to do? We’re not holding our breath that the state is going to solve this problem.” I suppose by “the state” he means the department of education or, in a more general way, Montpelier. But in a very basic sense there is no “state”: Graying ponytailed hippies and chichi... couples aren’t enough of a population base to run a functioning jurisdiction. To modify Howard Dean, Vermont is the way liberals think America ought to be, and you can’t make a living in it. So if you’re a cash-poor but land-rich native Vermonter taxed and regulated and hedged in on every front, you face a choice: In the new North Country folk wisdom, they won’t let you fish, so you might as well cut bait. Your outhouse is in breach of zoning regulations, so you might as well get off the pot, etc. When he ran for president, Howard Dean was said to have inspired America’s youth. In Vermont, he mainly inspired them to move somewhere else. The number of young adults fell by 20 percent during the Dean years. And what’s left is a demographic disaster: The state’s women have the second lowest birthrate in the nation, and the state’s workforce is already America’s oldest. Last year, Chris Lafakis of Moody’s predicted Vermont would have “a really stagnant economy” not this year or this half-decade but for the next 30 years... Nowhere in the news reports of school-merger talks does anyone suggest trying to reverse the policies that drive out young families and make Vermont—what’s the word the eco-types dig?—“unsustainable.” When it comes to “climate change,” it’s taken for granted that we can transform the very heavens if only we cap’n’trade’n’tax’n’regulate you even more. But the demographic death spiral? That’s just a fact of life, to question which puts you beyond political viability. The new Vermont prefers poseur politics and solutions for non-problems. A couple of years back, Gov. Jim Douglas, one of those famously moderate GOP New Englanders, finally noticed something was wrong in Green Mountain schoolhouses. So he acted decisively, signing legislation to protect the environment by forbidding school buses to run their engines while waiting for children to board. Tough on the kids: On many buses, there are too few students to generate much in the way of body heat. But you’ve gotta be able to prioritize: “This is a great step forward for our state,” declared the governor. The wheels are coming off the Vermont bus, but at least its engine won’t be running as the thing falls apart. Mark Steyn is a resident of New Hampshire.
