Farewell to an architectural icon The Champlain Bridge: 1929-2009 Editor ’s Note: Wikipedia, the internationally award-winning Internet encyclopedia, has just updated and expanded its summary of the historic 80year-old Champlain Bridge in its final moments before demolition. Several Vermont and New York writers and historians have contributed to this unique wiki sourcework on the bridge. The Eagle, with Wikipedia’s permission, presents this look at our region’s most visible 20th-century architectural icon. Farewell, old friend. You served us well. The Champlain Bridge, also known as the Crown Point Bridge, was a vehicular bridge in the United States that traversed Lake Champlain between Crown Point, N.Y., and Chimney Point, Vt. It was one of only two bridges that connected New York to Vermont by crossing Lake Champlain; all other transport across the lake between the two states is by ferry. The bridge connected Route 185 in New York to Vermont 17 in Vermont. The half-mile, twolane, continuous truss bridge was jointly owned and maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation and the Vermont Agency of Transportation. The bridge opened to traffic on Aug. 26, 1929, as a toll span at a cost of $1 million; the tolls were removed in 1987. The bridge was closed due to safety concerns in October 2009 and will be demolished and replaced. Removal of the existing bridge will be accomplished by explosive demolition, and is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 23, at 10 a.m. The bridge crossed Lake Champlain at a point 12 miles (19 km) north of Ticonderoga, N.Y., and 32 miles

(51 km) south of Burlington. It connected Route 185 in Crown Point, to Route 17 in Chimney Point. The bridge was one of only two that links New York and Vermont by crossing the lake; the other, located near the Canada–United States border, carries U.S. Route 2 from Rouses Point to Alburgh. The bridge was one of the first continuous truss road bridges built in the nation, and exhibits characteristics of both a through truss and deck-truss design. The bridge was initially tolled, however, the tolls
were removed on Sept. 22, 1987. The bridge was rehabilitated in 1991. Work performed at that time included the replacement of the deck and railings, the repainting of the steel trusses, and the repairing of the bridge piers. During the mid-2000s, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) launched the planning process for a project that would result in either the rehabilitation or replacement of the Champlain

Bridge. At the time, the projected start date for the project was 2012. However, in 2009, an inspection performed on the bridge as part of the planning process revealed that two of the bridge's support piers were not structurally sound. As a result, the bridge was closed to all traffic on Oct. 16, 2009. NYSDOT Regional Structural Engineer Thomas Hoffman commented that “Under certain conditions we were afraid the bridge could fail abruptly.” Prior to the closing, the bridge had already been re-
duced to one lane for structural steel repairs. On Nov. 9, officials in Vermont and New York announced that the bridge was beyond repair and would have to be demolished. A new bridge span will be built in its place. On Dec. 12, NYSDOT and VTrans presented six design concepts for the new structure, one of which, the Modified Network Tied Arch, has since been recommended as a replacement by the Public Advisory Committee. The closure of the bridge caused economic hardship
for commuters and local businesses as traffic was greatly reduced on both sides of the lake. Two businesses that saw more activity were private ferry services, one about 15 miles (24 km) south of the bridge has been overwhelmed, while the other service, located about 25 miles (40 km) north of the bridge, expanded its hours of operation. Even with expanded hours, and New York state subsidies, the two private ferry services were unable to meet demand.

Hull Maynard who retired last month. “It is an honor to appoint Peg to the senate,” said Douglas. “Peg is a great leader who has represented the people in her district well over Peg Flory the last ten years. The people of Rutland Country will benefit from Peg’s dedication, passion and commitment to her constituents. I know that Peg will continue to champion legislation that will help grow our economy and support our struggling families.” “I want to thank Governor Douglas for the tremendous privilege to serve the people of Rutland Country in the State Senate,” said Flory. “I will continue to work hard during the upcoming session to fight for the county as we work to deal with the State’s difficult economic situation. The people of this region have been hit hard and I want them to know that I am going to do all I can to support efforts to encourage economic growth and fight against higher taxes.” Flory is a native Vermonter and resident of Pittsford.

Committee picks design for new bridge New York DOT has final say By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — We have a winner. The Lake Champlain Bridge public advisory committee has endorsed a design for a new bridge to be constructed in Crown Point. The panel selected “modified network tied arch” bridge, the same choice as area residents who attended a series of informational meetings in Ticonderoga Dec. 12. At those meetings represents of the New York State Department of Transportation and Vermont Transportation Agency presented six alternatives for a new span. It was a clear choice, according to Bethany Kosmider, Crown Point supervisor-elect and a member of the advisory committee. “The majority of the people who filled out questionnaires approved it,” she said. “It’s a good choice.” The final selection will be made by the New York State DOT, although advisory committee members expect their recommendation to be followed. “NYSDOT will ultimately decide on the final bridge design, but public preference and PAC recommendations will be a significant factor in our decision,” Carol Breen, DOT spokeswoman, said. A final decision is expected in January and a new bridge is expected to be open by summer 2011. Th existing Lake Champlain Bridge, which was built in 1928 and closed in October because of structurally problems, is scheduled for demolition in a few weeks. An actual date has not been announced. A network tied arch bridge features a basket-handle arch with a network cable arrangement. The concept was developed by Norwegian engineer Per Tveit in the 1950s. In the modified version that has been recommended, the basket handles, which are light blue in the conceptual drawings, extend down in an uneven triangle to the concrete piers and then back up. In the original version from which the modified version was developed, all the concrete piers extend all the way up to the bridge deck.
The Lake Champlain Bridge public advisory committee has endorsed a design for a new bridge to be constructed in Crown Point. The panel selected “modified network tied arch” bridge, the same choice as area residents who attended a series of informational meetings in Ticonderoga Dec. 12. It is estimated this design will cost about $70 million to build. Some of the other proposals would cost about $80 million and the cheapest, a long-span steel girder bridge, would cost about $60 million.

Dear Santa... D
ear Santa,
My Christmas list is being published in newspapers in Vermont. I hate to play rough, but if by any chance you’re unable to pull through with any of my listed requests, I’m not saying I would, but I could have that little bit of information published too. ...Give Me Give Me. I hope you and Mrs. Claus are well and were able to get away at some point during your 364 days off. I was glad while visiting Vegas this summer to have heard rumor you and Mrs. S. were there also, staying at the Belagio. I trust you knew well enough to go heavy on the sunscreen. Say hey to the Elves and Reindeer (I’ve always wondered Santa, the names by which we know them, Comet, Blitzen, Dasher, … are those their last, or first names?), and be very safe out there on Christmas Eve. You are quite a guy. Rusty DeWees Rust’s Christmas List 1.Darn Tough socks, 1 pair, with Darn Tough, that’s all you need. 2.The ability to feel less scorn toward drivers ahead of me who nearly stop before turning from the main road. 3. A long, wet, French kiss under the mistletoe. 4. This June, ship me several bushels of organic kale. It’s probably nasty tasting stuff, but I have a feeling it’s going to be the “In” thing this summer. 5.A book on how to live 100 percent organically. I’m not sure it’s better for you than living inorganically, but I’m two years shy of fifty and feeling I want to cover all the bases. 6. Clackers. Think ‘70s Sant. 7. Make no. 3 on the list happen with Sarah Palin. 8. A Burton Love board. (Santa, gifts 7 and 8 are so when folks ask, and I tell them what I got for Christmas, I’ll get more of a reaction then if I answered (“oh, underwear.”) 9. An enhanced ability to make people happy. 11. Personal Chef (Reference 5.) Actually, don’t hook me up with the book on organic living because in less than five years they’ll be telling us organically grown food isn’t any better for us after all. In place of that book, get me a book that will make me appear attractive to musically talented women. 12. Twelve drummers drumming. But only if they’re musically talented women.

Solaris and the Gaia hypothesis I
n 1961, Polish Soviet science-fiction writer Stanislaw Lem’s dark novel “Solaris” took the Iron Curtain by storm. “Solaris” has since been hailed as an international classic of the SF genre. “Solaris” exists in English translation along with two motion pictures inspired by it—a low budget 1972 Russian version and a moody 2002 American edition. The basic speculative science undergirding Lem’s tale is the existence of a sentient, organic ocean covering a distant planet called Solaris; the planet is located hundreds of light years from the Earth and requires months of deep space travel to transit. The radical notion that entire planets can be giant organisms originated with Lem, and not—as is often quoted in the popular literature—with the controversial Gaia hypothesis. The hypothesis was an early 1970s notion that gave rise to much of the environmental movement’s philosophical underpinnings. Lem’s fiction presents an intriguing intellectual idea: can entire planets be alive? And if so, can some of them be intelligent? The idea makes good science fiction, but it really doesn’t have much traction in planetary science. For the moment, there is scant scientific evidence for organisms the size of planets (or planets that are organisms). Bioresearcher Dr. James Lovelock is credited for coming up with the idea that Earth is a single organism while working for NASA in the search for life on Mars during the agency’s Gulliver, later Viking, days of the 1960s. Later, Lovelock’s book “Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth” popularized the idea and captured the imagination of New Age gurus and radical environmentalists. Lovelock looked at the Earth holistically and concluded that our planet is a giant, self-regulating living
system—a single, planetary lifeform. Few respectable space scientists bought into the Gaia hypothesis then— or now. They often chided Lovelock for using the name of Gaia, the ancient pagan Greek mother-goddess. Canadian biochemist Dr. W. Ford Doolittle became one of Gaia’s loudest critics. He believes that there is nothing in our terrestrial “genome pool” which could trigger the bio-eco feedback mechanisms Lovelock described. And Doolittle wasn’t to remain Gaia’s only critic. Many derided the hypothesis as “an unscientific theory of a maternal type”. British biologist Dr. Richard Dawkins loudly complained that Gaia was bunk, too. Dawkins remains a controversial figure; he is an outspoken critic of Gaia, the Intelligent Design movement, and the pseudosciences. “Organisms cannot act in concert as this would require foresight and planning from them,” Dawkins said of the Gaia hypothesis. “There was no way for evolution by natural selection to lead to altruism on a global scale.” Even paleontologist Dr. Stephen Jay Gould criticized Gaia as being “nothing more
than a metaphorical description (for Earth’s biosphere).” Lem’s imaginary planetwide ocean is intelligent and composed of strange, seminal organic colloids; it is the source of the various ghostlike human appearances aboard the Solaris space station (the dead girlfriend of the novel’s central character, Kris Kelvin, appears in-the-flesh to haunt him; the resurrected woman’s death back on Earth was blamed on Kelvin). It is impossible for Lem’s cosmonaut characters to understand what the Solaris organism is communicating. Ultimately, the author presents a bleak view of communications between alien species. Regarding Lovelock’s Gaia: it’s a zoomorphic idea that we don’t see many mainstream geologists embracing for obvious reasons. Except for fragile living things, at or below the surface, terrestrial worlds such as Earth are just lumps composed of various rocks and minerals, fluids, gases and ice(s)—inanimate planetary bodies. In Earth’s case, it consists largely of magnesium-iron based minerals such as olivine: (Mg,Fe) 2 SiO 4. Any self awareness in-
volved is likely to be at the handle end of a rock hammer. What’s in the Sky: This weekend look to the northwest for the Milky Way’s anticenter just before sunrise; it is located about 3.5 degrees east of Beta Aurigae. This marks the opposite location of our galactic core. Open star clusters M36, M37 and M38 are visible in binoculars this week. This week’s sky map is courtesy of amateur astronomer J. Kirk Edwards.

Why coupon’s fine print may be your friend
L
ast week, we discussed how to handle confused cashiers who may try to incorrectly limit our coupon usage in one way or another. The key to eliminating most cashier confusion is to familiarize yourself with the store’s coupon policy, which states all of the store’s rules for accepting coupons. And while it’s true that most cashiers are familiar with what kinds and types of coupons the store will accept, there are also times when a cashier may mistakenly inform you that the store cannot take your coupons. In my coupon classes, I’ve taught over 6,000 people to Super-Coupon, and so I’ve heard more than my share of stories of cashier confusion. One common theme has to do with interpreting the fine print on a coupon. If you pick up any manufacturer coupon, either from the newspaper or one printed from the Internet, chances are it contains the wording “Limit one coupon per purchase.” Seems innocent enough, right? But these five little words can often be the source of cashier confusion. To understand why, consider this distinction. Each item we buy is a purchase. Each group of items that we take to the checkout lane and pay for at the same time, as a group, is a transaction. So, when a coupon’s fine print states, “Limit one coupon per purchase,” what it effectively means is “Limit one coupon per item purchased.” (In fact, many coupons now contain this updated wording, which makes the meaning much clearer.) So, if a coupon is limited to “one per purchase,” it simply means that we can use one coupon per item purchased. If I purchase 15 items, I can use 15 coupons – one for each item I’m buying (and I often do!) But cashier confusion frequently arises when a shopper uses several like coupons to buy several like items. For example, if I’m buying two bottles of juice and I have two $1 juice coupons, occasionally a cashier may say, “I don’t
think you can use both of these coupons, because they’re one per purchase.” The easiest response? With a smile, ask, “How many bottles am I purchasing?” If you’re purchasing two, you can use a coupon on each. If you’re purchasing three, you could use three coupons, and so on. In this case, the cashier is confusing the “per purchase” wording with the “per transaction” wording. By Jill Cataldo Coupons that state, “Limit one coupon per transaction” are typically store-issued coupons. This wording is commonly seen on coupons like “$5 off a $50 purchase” or a store’s coupon for a deeply discounted item. Stores use the “one per transaction” wording to limit your purchase in some way. In the case of coupons offering money off your purchase, the store simply doesn’t want you to use multiples of that coupon in the same transaction. Or, they may be offering you a coupon for a special loss leader, like a dozen eggs for 49 cents, but they only want to allow you to purchase one of that item per transaction. Knowing the difference between a purchase and a transaction can help you alleviate one of the most common sources of cashier confusion.

Langrocks donate 63-acre conservation easement SALISBBURY — For nearly fifty years, Peter and Joanne Langrock have looked after their land on Upper Plains Road. Over the past ten years they have worked with the Vermont Land Trust to permanently protect their property by donating conservation easements on the land. This month, Peter and Joanne furthered their conservation project by donating their third easement on a 63-acre portion of the property, the Vermont Land Trust announced last week. The most recently conserved land is primarily managed forest. The property contains a vernal pool—a critical habitat for amphibians—and is located one mile from a known nesting area of the federally endangered Indiana bat. “I’m very satisfied that this land will remain whole for future generations,” said Joanne. Altogether, the Langrocks have conserved 193 acres in Salisbury, protecting pasture, woodland, a beaver pond, and thousands of feet of frontage on Hanlon Brook, which is known for its trout. When the Langrocks donated their conservation easement, they not only expressed their desire to see their land cared for, the do-

We’ve owned this land since 1961 and we’ve managed it for the long haul. Conserving with VLT was a good match for us.” “It was a pleasure to work with Peter and Joanne,” said Allen Karnatz, Champlain Valley regional director for
the Vermont Land Trust. “When we developed the easement with Peter and Joanne we worked to match their goals with the unique conservation values of the property. They obviously care very deeply about their land.”

AULD LANG SYNE — We’re not sure if partygoers pictured during the Town Hall Theater’s Dec. 31, 2008 “New Year’s Eve to Remember” in Middlebury kept their 2009 resolutions or not, but they can start fresh this Dec. 31. Downtown Middlebury is planning an affair both elegant and wild. For elegance, Middlebury Inn hosts a reception and dinner. For the call of the wild, revelers can head to the theater for a dance featuring the Doughboys’ rock and dance tunes.

Is Christmas still relevant?

New Patients Welcome
SATURDAY December 26, 2009
A
s Christmas comes, reactions abound. Since the fourth century AD, when Roman Emperor Constantine embraced Christianity, church service attendance in Western Civilization is greatest at Christmas and Easter. Prior to Constantine, Christianity was illegal and thus did not attract people who were not deeply committed. Ironically during this period of intense persecution the number of Christians grew at a phenomenal rate, with an organic underground-style network of small home-based churches (much like China has been experiencing since the rule of Mao Zedong). That amazing growth, before Constantine, laid the foundation for Christianity’s widespread acceptance leading to a more organized Christianity. Yet in many ways organizing Christianity stifled the lifetransforming power that grew the earlier organic Church. And in more recent decades the spike in attendance at services for Christmas and Easter has decreased, while critical reactions toward or around these two special Christian days has increased in both number and intensity. The name CHRISTmas forces most people to consider at some level: Who was Christ and why should his living two-thousand years ago make any difference to us today in our hectic modern life where we are bombarded with ideas trying to answer life’s most basic questions? Many find this season warm and joyous. Yet others respond from indifference to an outright repulsive reaction to Jesus Christ’s claim to be God, the creator, sustainer and restorer of humanity and the world. Some reject Biblical moral boundaries, while other rejections are connected to horrific acts done in the name of Christianity, or at least by self-identified Christians. While it is important to acknowledge such acts as horrific, it is just as important to ascertain if such acts are condoned or condemned by Biblical teaching, lest we throw baby Jesus out with the filthy and corrupt bath water. As Americans, does the Christmas story have anything to do with: our freedom to think and express ideas; our freedom of religion; the equality of people; or even ideas like the size and reach of government? Clearly the individual rights and freedoms that have long-defined America are not because of where America sits on the globe, but rather they fall directly from a worldview that sees humanity as unique and special and worthy of protection. And Christianity, which teaches that people are created in the image of God and that God came in human form and gave his life to provide a means for every person to have a restored and harmonious relationship with their Creator, puts a value on human life that is arguably much higher than that of any other set of ideas. Cultures, which have embraced the Biblical value of humanity, have delivered the greatest level of individual liberty. While not all American founders embraced orthodox
Christianity, they did embrace the Biblically-based view of human nature and that every person is created equal “with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” The American experience, just like our own life experience, has had its struggles putting these profound ideas into practice. Yet had these ideas not sprung from a real foundation the American experiment in liberty would have been a futile effort, like every other culture that does not value humanity. In recent decades some in America have been pushing America away from its foundation, with the result being increased chaos. Chaos has been answered by increasing the size and reach of government, leading to a decrease in personal liberty and making our personal and national future much less secure. We would be wise to look at the results of godless national experiments before we take the leap. If atheism or any other set of ideas is true then by all means let us live life accordingly, but let us not take that jump without first investigating the idea which arguably has most radically and positively changed the lives of people and civilizations: Biblical Christianity. Granted Biblical Christianity, unlike most other sets of ideas, does not align well with human logic, where might makes right, or utopia is achieved through personal effort. Does that not suggest that Biblical Christianity is not a human creation, but more likely revelation from our Creator? Even apart from the continual historical and archeological validations of Biblical history, Biblical teaching on human nature, the human condition, and the path to restoration, ring incredibly true with human experience. Humanity is creative and desires to express that creativity. True faith cannot be forced upon someone. Vast power (control of resources) invites corruption, whether in business, politics, government, or religion. Left unbounded by inner moral guides or external militant guides, people and cultures self-destruct. Incredible transformation and healing does result when people bond with their Creator. Indeed these human experiences align with the Biblical presentation of humanity. Ideas do have consequences. Ideas that ring true with life experience yield better results for us individually and for cultures. This Christmas, consider investigating genuine Biblical Christianity directly from its source document and resting your future in ideas that ring true and truly transform.

Changes at the Chamber To the editor: Due to budgetary considerations I found it necessary to reduce, among other expenses, the Addison COunty Chamber of Commerce's personnel costs. Reluctantly, I have reduced our staff headcount by laying off our membership director, Ted Shambo. Most of you know Ted, and during the past 7 plus years have experienced his excellent service to our organization. His good work and engaging personality will be missed by members and staff alike. Please keep him in mind as you hear of positions for which he may be suited. I want to assure you that the Chamber is in good financial
condition. However, due to declining grant revenues and membership not growing as anticipated, the staff reduction was necessary to remain so. It was not done lightly or without considering other alternatives. For the foreseeable future, I will be handling membership sales and retention. Marguerite will be the primary contact for RSVPing for mixers, etc. and you'll be hearing from Sue on regular membership communications... Andy Mayer ACCC Middlebury

To the editor: So, Bristol got its bond for Holley Hall renovations approved? Very good. Yes, we have to pay a 20-year bond for the renovations, but that also means that Bristol has committed its offices to be housed in Holley Hall for the next 20 years. Bravo. That way, we taxpayers don’t have to worry about the Bristol Selectboard coming to us to pay for a new town office complex during the next 5 to 10 years. And as I understand it, the Bristol Police Department will be housed in Dr. Henderson's office space—so, no new tax dollars for the police department either. I like it! Burt DeGraw Bristol

Online sexual predator law lacks teeth, says expert ALBANY — Last week, the big news in New York was that the state had utilized the law known as e-Stop (the Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators approved by NY State Senate in 2008) that helped MySpace and Facebook purge more than 3,500 sexual predators from their membership rolls. The cameras rolled as New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo heralded the exercise of the law and his efforts to make the Internet safer for kids. Moreover, other states, including Vermont, are looking to enact similar laws. However, according to one social media expert, it’s all window dressing; there’s nothing behind the curtain. “Don’t get me wrong,” said Mary Kay Hoal, a New Yorkbased activist mother and founder of Yoursphere.com, a safety-first social network for children. “I want to support every effort of every person and company that works hard to pass laws designed to try to make the Internet safer for kids. The intentions were good but the fact of the matter is it will have little to no impact in stemming the tide of predators lurking online. It’s toothless because it depends on convicted sexual offenders volunteering information.” Hoal’s point is that more than 100,000 sexual predators were already known to be online using the world’s largest
social networking sites yet the predators still persisted successfully in continuing to join as evidenced by these additional 3,500 sex offenders being found on these sites from New York state. “Only about 10 percent of them volunteered a MySpace or Facebook screen name,” Hoal said. “And who is to say they don’t have four or five other identities online they aren’t divulging? While the best of intentions are behind this law, because neither site verifies identities, performs a predator check and eliminates anonymity, a false sense of security is bestowed upon the public. There’s nothing to prevent a single predator from creating new false internet identifiers and signing right back up. That’s something parents and the public need desperately to understand.” Hoal applauded Cuomo, and all those who try to hold social networks accountable for keeping kids safe online and over the Internet. “I just feel a great sense of concern for the general public, and particularly parents that care about the safety of their children. Parents lack the knowledge to understand that estop doesn’t do enough. Providing a false sense of security to the general public concerns me.” According to the New York Attorney General’s office, the e-STOP system only works if criminals volunteer their social
networking identities, as the law requires them to do within 10 days of creating a new account. If they don’t they could face new felony charges. Proponents of the law have declared it a success. “While we have to recognize there is no 100 percent foolproof method for keeping our kids safe from predators and the other concerning factors that await our children online, it’s imperative that a partnership involve informed parents as well as morally responsible social networks”, Hoal said. “The fact is that MySpace and Facebook have chosen not to take advantage of reasonable methods of existing technology to proactively prevent anyone, regardless of their criminal past, from establishing a profile on their systems and engaging with our children. From my parental point of view, it is unconscionable that these situations happen every day and parents haven’t been armed with the proper knowledge, tools and solutions to put their children’s (and their own) safety first. Until such time, it’s deeply concerning for any person(s) or company to promote a ‘safer Internet.’” Hoal is a mother of five children. After researching the disturbing landscape of social networking sites, including endless “inappropriate” content and thousands of predators targeting youth, she conceived and founded Yoursphere.
Film festival focuses on Vermont moviemakers KILLINGTON— The Killington Film Festival has issued a call for entries to the second festival, scheduled to be held April 8-11 in Killington. The festival, which was a huge success in its inaugural season, celebrates films of any subject, genre or medium. “Our first festival was an unqualified success, as we screened incredible films and presented forums with Vermont’s foremost filmmakers,” said Kerstin Karlhuber, a New York City filmmaker raised in Vermont, who serves as the festival’s Creative Director. “Once again in 2010, we look forward to welcoming filmmakers from throughout Vermont, New England and beyond for a stimulating four-day festival.” Renown Vermont filmmakers Jay Craven, John O’Brien, David Giancola, and Boston’s Sam Kauffmann were among those participating in exclusive question and answer sessions with audiences following film screenings. The festival includes an afternoon of “short films,” with the winning filmmaker receiving an a valuable professional editing program. “Our mission is to celebrate film and its creators,” continued Karlhuber. “The festival brings high quality, artistic and entertaining films to Killington. The festival provides an opportunity for filmmakers to network with industry colleagues and for local audiences to view creative works from around the world.” There are four categories for entry: Short, Feature, Sport Short and New England Filmmaker. Earlybird entry deadline is January 1, with final deadline February 20th in each category. Entry fees range from $20 for student entries to $40 for late entries. Entry detail can be found on the Killington Film Festival website www.killingtonfilmfestival.org. The Killington Film Festival is sponsored in part by the Town of Killington Economic Development and Tourism Commission.
Filmmaker David Giancola’s “Illegal Aliens”, a sci-fi spoof filmed in Rutland and Addison counties in 2007, starred the late Playboy pinup queen Anna Nicole Smith in her final screen appearance. Giancola and other award-winning Vermont filmmakers will be featured at the 2010 Killington Film Festival. Photo courtesy of Edgewood Studios
Farmers to receive emergency dairy payments The U.S. Department of Agriculture detailed plans to distribute $290 million to struggling dairy farmers. The measure that provides $290 million for direct support to dairy farmers will result in a payment of about $8,000 to the typical Vermont farmer. Another $60 million was set aside nationwide to purchase cheese for food banks and nutrition programs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it has begun processing payments under the Dairy Economic Loss Assistance Payment program. Farmers can expect to begin receiving payments over the next few weeks. U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said, "Secretary Tom Vilsack has listened to our struggling dairy farmers, and I know the Farm Service Agency has been working tirelessly to quickly get these funds into farmers' hands. In many farming households times will be hard as we celebrate this holi-
day season, and the new year brings with it many unanswered questions. But this infusion will help stabilize operations hard hit by declining prices, bringing hope and some relief to dairy farmers." U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said, "This is good news for Vermont's hardworking dairy farmers, who continue to struggle in the face of the ongoing price crisis. This emergency funding will not solve the long-term challenges the dairy industry faces, but it is critical in the short-term to help keep our family farms in business," he added. Although final payment amounts will not be known until total eligible milk production is calculated, a Vermont dairy farmer with a 125-cow herd producing 20,000 pounds per cow per year, could receive an estimated $8,000 in emergency federal support. The average price farmers received for their milk fell this
year to as low as $11.30 per hundredweight, down from $19.30 in July 2008. Prices have recently rebounded to $15 per hundredweight. It costs farmers at least $18 per hundredweight to produce milk. As prices plunged, family dairy farms in Vermont and around the country went out of business. Farmers that participated in another fiscal year 2009 USDA dairy program, such as the Milk Income Loss Contract or MILC program, will not have to sign up for benefits since USDA already has their milk production records on file. The expected payment rate is approximately $0.32 per hundredweight. USDA estimated that 95 percent of eligible producers will receive benefits automatically and will not need to apply.

Ice hazardous around the Champlain Bridge site
Eagle
Eye On Bu$ine$$
Anglers, others advised extreme caution LAKE CHAMPLAIN—The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) are warning people that the ice surrounding the site of the Lake Champlain Bridge and near Ticonderoga, NY will not be the same as in years' past, and that recreational activities in the area should be conducted with extreme caution. The establishment of a new 24-hour ferry service between Chimney Point, Vermont and Crown Point, New York will prevent ice from forming in the vicinity of the Lake Champlain Bridge. Ferries will move continuously from shore to shore to prevent ice from forming. In addition, the Fort Ticonderoga cable ferry which runs between Shoreham and Ticonderoga has installed bubblers and a thermal warming system to extend its operation into the winter months. Though the ferry is not operating 24/7, ice along the cable route will be minimal, if present at all. No one knows exactly how far the ferry routes will affect the adjacent iced regions, but ferry traffic will certainly weaken the ice in those areas. The VTrans, NYSDOT, USCG, and SEMO are cautioning those who ice fish, operate snow mobiles, or drive all-terrainvehicles that the ice around the bridge site and the Ticonderoga ferry is unsafe, even during stretches of extreme cold. "The ferry service will alleviate much of the burden put on commuters when the Lake Champlain Bridge closed to all traffic on Oct. 16, but the ferries pose new risks to those who may try to cross the lake on their own once ice begins to form," said VTrans Secretary David Dill. "People need to understand that ice conditions near the bridge will no longer be normal." With unstable ice conditions due to the
THE EAGLE - 9
ferry operations, state-to-state transit across the ice is even more dangerous this year. All persons are advised to stay off the ice and to keep clear of the ferry routes and Lake Champlain Bridge, which itself will be a construction zone as crews work all winter to remove debris from the 80-year-old structure so that a new bridge can be erected in its place. "Until the bridge is demolished it is at risk of collapse, especially during high wind conditions and when temperatures fall below 25 degrees Fahrenheit," said NYSDOT Acting Commissioner Stanly Gee. "Further, once we demolish the bridge, the entire area will be a construction zone as we remove and dismantle bridge sections from the lake's channel and shore. The public should be aware of their responsibility to stay clear of the area and put safety first when making recreational or travel plans in the region." "Our first concern is the safety for both residents and first responders," said John R. Gibb, Director of the State Emergency Management Office. "Even in normal years, local responders are called to rescue folks. This is not a normal year. It has new challenges and that means people have to use common sense and keep safety in mind when planning their outdoor activities. We continue to work with DOT and other involved State agencies to ensure that first responders are able to serve the community throughout the demolition and construction phase of this project." "No ice is safe ice," said Senior Chief Petty Officer Louis Coleman, officer in charge of Coast Guard Station Burlington. "A person who falls through the ice has an estimated survival time of 20 minutes. Because the response time near the Lake Champlain Bridge area is over an hour, chances of survival are slim at best should a person find himself in need of emergency assistance.".

Firefighters of the Starksboro Volunteer Fire Department pose for an official town portrait during its 50th anniversary celebration this year.
50 years of community volunteerism By Alice Dubenetsky STARKSBORO — The Starksboro Fire Department celebrated its Golden Anniversary this year and over a 150 community members turned out to pay tribute to the departments members, past and present. The 50th birthday this year started with an ecumenical religious service at the Starksboro Baptist Church. The service included memories of the past 50 years from community members and firemen. The crowd then moved across Route 116 to the front lawn of the Town Office building to formally dedicate a new flagpole. Fire Chief Tom Estey presented specially made shirts to two of the department’s charter members, Charlie Thibeault and Leslie Rublee. The remainder of the festivities took place during an open house and barbeque at the Starksboro Fire Department building. Governor James Douglas was on hand to congratulate the department, and there were short speeches from community members and words from Kristy Oxholm, President of the Vermont State Firefighters Association.

Hannaford to purchase Grand Union in Brandon BRANDON — Hannaford Supermarkets today announced an agreement in principle to buy two Grand Union supermarkets located in Swanton and Brandon, Vt. The agreement with Grand Union is expected to be final in early 2010. Hannaford currently operates 14 supermarkets in Vermont. Both Swanton and Brandon complement its current stores, the company said. In Brandon, the agreement with Grand Union will allow Hannaford to begin serving customers there about a full year ahead of opening the new Hannaford store planned for Route 7 at the intersection of Nickerson Road. The Brandon store, 71 Supermarket Dr., is a 19,900-squarefoot store. Hannaford plans to operate there temporarily and move to its new location planned for Route 7 at the intersection of Nickerson Road in 2011. Hannaford announced Sept. 16, 2009 that it had signed a lease agreement with Second Generation Development, the developer of the Route 7 store. Second Generation Development expects to obtain permits in early summer and break ground shortly thereafter. The new Brandon store is being designed to meet U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification standards, furthering Hannaford's commitment to building new stores that use substantially less resources and have less impact on the environment. In Brandon, the company expects the building will be leased to a new retail tenant after the opening of its new store in 2011. Grand Union will continue to operate the stores while the agreement is finalized. In Brandon, the level of employment will increase substantially in 2011 when Hannaford moves to the new Route 7 location, which will include a pharmacy. Hannaford Supermarkets, based in Scarborough, Maine, operates 171 stores under the Hannaford Supermarket and Hannaford Supermarket and Pharmacy names.
FAST RESPONSE — The Middlebury Fire Dept. responded to a recent fire at a residence in the town’s newest neighborhood, located on Field Road behind Hannaford Supermarket. The fire was apparently minor, quickly extinguished, and no damage or injuries were reported. Eagle photo

Enjoy a Celtic New Year’s Eve in Richmond RICHMOND — On Thursday, Dec. 31, the Vermont town of Richmond once again invites all to join them for “A Celtic New Year”. Over 20 performing groups will tell stories, sing, dance, pipe, fiddle and play in locations throughout the village. Shows and activities begin at 3:30 p.m. Performing groups include Vermont favorites like Wood’s Tea Company, Runaway Dog, the Fiddleheads, the Highland Weavers, Heather Morris School of Dance, and more. This year also features a contra dance called by Mark Sustic at Camel’s Hump Middle School. Although the main theme of the event is Celtic music and dance, other genres of music performed by local musicians include rock, folk, contemporary and and classical music: truly something for every age and taste. A family friendly event, there is easy parking available at many areas around town and a free shuttle bus running all evening between the Middle School and the Village performance venues. Great food will be available at Bridge Street Café, On the Rise Bakery, the Richmond Victorian Inn, and many of the performance venues. The goals of the organizers, nonprofit group Friends of A Celtic New Year, are to bring the community together through music, dance and other forms of creative arts and to provide support for the growth and development of young local performers. Money raised through admission button sales is donated back to the community to promote youth performance in music and dance. Over $5,000 was donated last year to local area schools, churches and private organizations for the development of youth performance. A convenient button ($8 in advance, $10 after December 25, children under 3 free) gets patrons into all venues. Buttons are on sale now and are available at Bridge St. Café; Richmond Corner Market; Richmond Beverage; and Beaudry’s Store in Huntington. For more information and a complete schedule, visit www.acelticnewyears.org.

Vermonter Rick Zand traveled to Iran recently. Zand was part of a 14-day civilian diplomacy delegation organized by the international peace group called Fellowship of Reconciliation. The 15-member peace delegation was the fourth in a series of FOR peace missions to Iran. The missions work to build solidarity between the people of the United States and the people of Iran; they met with ordinary people as well as politicians in Tehran. Zand and his party had tea with minority Rick Zand religious leaders and spoke with mullahs at the school of Shii theology in Qom. Since 1915, FOR has carried on programs and educational projects concerned with domestic and international peace and justice, nonviolent alternatives to conflict and social change, and the rights of conscience. Zand is director of admissions at Union Institute & University in Vermont. He earned his MFA in Writing from Vermont College, and has taught writing and literature at Johnson State College, Norwich University and the Community College of Vermont. In 2004, Zand traveled to Iran with his brother to explore their family history. The brothers traveled to Tehran, Yazd, Isfahan and Shiraz, and to small villages around the Zagros Mountains. Zand has also traveled to Lebanon, including the south as far as Bint Jbeil, which last year suffered from Israeli attacks on Hizbollah. “There is much misunderstanding about the people in the Middle East,” Zand claimed. “Americans imagine Iranians and Arabs full of hate for the west, ready to strap on suicide bombs in the name of Allah. It just isn’t true. Most of the people I’ve come across in Lebanon and Iran are curious about us, and wish to have good relations with the United States. There are many opportunities to put diplomacy into action.”
