Downtown construction resumes Jan. 2 Middlebury Bridge & Tunnel Project in its third year. By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury merchants and shoppers will get a reprieve when the multiyear-long downtown rail and bridge project takes a well-deserved holiday break. “For the first time since early August, including four long weekends, construction activity in downtown Middlebury will halt for an extended period,” according to Middlebury Community Liaison Jim Gish’s weekly public newsletter report. “All work will cease Christmas Eve morning and then resume on Thursday, Jan. 2.” Gish reported that disruption of downtown streets quieted down during December, although construction is active within the rail corridor. “...As we wrap up our third year of construction, with one big one still to go, I’d like to acknowledge all the members of our community who have volunteered their time and energy to help get Middlebury through this project,” Gish reported. “Between July 1 and Oct. 31, as Neighbors Together and the Better Middlebury Partnership recently reported, more than 300 Middlebury citizens volunteered some 1,500 hours in a range of activities designed to manage the impact of construction on our town.” Gish noted that Maine Drilling & Blasting

is installing minipiles and tiebacks along the rail corridor between the Bourdon building and Main Street Bridge. “The Maine crew expects to finish the months-long process of drilling 300-plus minipiles in the rail corridor this week and will likely work on Saturday between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. in order to complete that work before year’s end. During the week you may have noticed that Nop’s and Carrara were up on Merchants Row to support Maine in grouting the minipiles installed behind the Bourdon building.” Gish added that the Maine crew returns to work on Jan. 2. “(Jan. 6...,) that’s the date on which Vermont Rail reverts to its normal schedule of sending northbound and southbound trains through Middlebury during the day. Water Street and Seymour Street residents will be happy to hear that trains idling for hours outside their homes in the middle of the night will soon come to an end,” he reported. ■ Jim Gish: “...As we wrap up our third year of construction, with one big one still to go, I’d like to acknowledge all the members of our community who have volunteered their time and energy to help get Middlebury through this project.” Pictured: Gish (left) talks with a worker during the summer construction season.

GINGER | One-year-old spayed female. beagle mix black/brown

Hi everyone. I arrived on December 5th from a busy shelter in Kentucky. I am a southern girl on the move but honestly, I am not sure how I ended up in Vermont. I have lots of energy so lots of walks or hikes and playing with me is important. I get along with cats and dogs but can sometime play a little rough so my new family will want to work with me on that. Oh, I guess I should also let you know that I can be a bit of a houdini when I am in my kennel.

CHIRPY | Adult female blue parakeet

I was surrendered by someone that had too many birds in the home. I am an adult female with lots of chattering and singing to do. I think you will agree that my colors are beautiful. Please stop by for a visit and maybe fall in love.

I have made leaps and bounds since I found myself at the Rutland Country Humane Societ y on November 1. However, I would love to find my forever home. I am just so tired from hopping from place to place. I really just want a place to call my own. You should spring into action and come meet me or one of my many friends here at RCHS. I hope to hop right into your heart.

SEDONA | Three-year-old spayed female domestic short hair orange tiger

Hi, I am Sedona. I am pretty quiet, I kind of like to lay around and observe. I like plush blankets, and calm environments. I did have a litter of kittens and was brought here, luckily, they found me a nice foster and I was lucky enough to have my kittens and then all of my children were adopted out. But now I’d also like the same, and hopefully to have the calm luxury of having a place to call home. I get along with other cats and now I am spayed so my days of having children are over. Maybe you’d let me join your family instead? Come visit me sometime. Amelia Stamp, Events & Community Outreach Coordinator, Rutland County Humane Society | www.rchsvt.org

CASHMERE’S name fits her to a T! As you will quickly see, her coat is soft and beautiful. She is well socialized and curious. Cashmere was found abandoned in a box at the end of someone’s driveway. Fortunately, she was brought to the shelter where it is warm and she was attended to quickly. And luckily, she is no worse for the wear. She is outgoing and smart and she hasn’t found a treat that isn’t delicious to her. Cashmere deserves a warm home where she will be cherished forever; could that be your home? ■

Radical in the mountains: The life and times of David Dellinger By Lou Varricchio

Jane” Fonda), Rennie Davis, John Froines, Abbie Hoff man, Jerry Rubin, and Lee Weiner.

EDITOR

Since the 1960s, Vermont has been home to a variety of political radicals, mostly on the left side of the political spectrum. From outright communists to social democrats, the allure of the Green Mountain State continues to attract revolutionaires of all kinds.

Following anti-war civil disruptions at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, the seven radicals were put on trial. According to the book “No One was Killed: The Democratic National Convention, August 1968”, “Police worked to push the protesters out of the street, using tear gas, verbal and physical confrontation, and police batons to beat people; protesters retaliated by throwing rocks and bottles, and damaging private commercial property. The police made scores of arrests.” While he later found solace liv ing Vermont, Dellinger actually began his life in neighboring Massachusetts, the son of wealthy parents.

Of course we don’t confuse 1960s Chicago Seven radical David Dellinger (1915-2004) with 1930s Dillinger Gang mastermind John Dillinger. And while Dillinger and Dellinger had absolutely nothing in common (except similar sounding surnames), they both made national headlines by being on the FBI’s top most-wanted list. And only one of these two “most wanted” guys ever called Vermont home.

D e l l i n g e r ’s f a t h e r , Raymond Dellinger, was a prominent New England attorney and a close friend of conservative Vermonter U.S. President Calvin Coolidge.

According to Dellinger’s 2004 obituary published in the Washington Post, he had studied at Yale University and Oxford University, and even planned to become a Congregationalist minister until he became enthralled with left ist politics.

David Dellinger spent his fi nal years in Montpelier where, as a well-known political agitator during the Vietnam War, he found a haven among like-minded left ists living in the Green Mountain State.

“Rejecting his comfortable background, he walked out of Yale one day to live with hobos during the Depression,” according to one online biography. “While at Oxford University, he visited Nazi Germany and drove an ambulance during the Spanish Civil War. Dellinger… opposed the war’s victorious Nationalist fraction, led by Francisco Franco.”

Dellinger was part of the notorious Chicago Seven which included 1960s revolutionaries Tom Hayden (husband of actress “Hanoi

During World War II, Dellinger found himself jailed in a federal prison as both a “C.O.” or conscientious objector and an “agitator”.

The anti-war Dellinger would later write in his autobiographical book, “From Yale to Jail”. “After Spain, World War II was simple. I wasn’t even tempted to pick up a gun to fight for General Motors, U.S. Steel, or the Chase Manhattan Bank, even if Hitler was running the other side.”

Dellinger later described himself as being a non-violent advocate of social change. However, judging by the behavior of the Chicago Seven at the Democratic convention in August 1968, the claim doesn’t quite ring true.

In 1946, Dellinger was one of the founders of the Committee for Nonviolent Revolution. He was also a leader of the Socialist Party of America, the Young People’s Socialist League and the War Resisters League. Dellinger had contacts with North Vietnam communist leader Ho Chi Minh and various radical leaders of the Black Panthers.

A recent book looked at the life and times of Vermont resident David Dellinger.

During the Chicago Seven trial in 1968, Amazon.com Dellinger and the others were accused of crossing state lines “with the intention of inciting a riot” at the 1968 Democratic Nursing Home in Montpelier. He died peaceNational Convention. By 1970, the Seven were fully, just as he wished, on May 25, 2004. ■ acquitted of the conspiracy charge, but Dellinger was ~ S'lardmlA~ht ~~ convicted of “individually He~liTole t FAE8(1600 V.lo) WALK-IN BATHTUB SALE!

During the 1990s, Dellinger had fi nally settled living in central Vermont. He continued to be politically active and was back in the headlines briefly in 2001 when he led Vermont activists to Quebec to protest a proposed free-trade zone.

Opinion

From the editor

According to Montpelier investigative reporter and columnist Guy Page (of State Headliners appearing occasionally in this newspaper), Vermont’s homeless population is on the rise. The Vermont Coalition to End Homelessness’ “Statewide Point-inTime Count” reports homelessness in both unsheltered and sheltered. As an example, in 2018, there were 1,291 homeless people. The year before, there were 1,225, and in 2016, 1,102. Data for 2019 homelessness will be available soon.

Page cited three factor in the increase in homelessness here: Expensive housing, overwhelming life circumstances, and state government programs which enable homelessness. Page also noted the cost of Vermont housing and rental as making the greatest impact on the rise of homeless. “In greater Burlington, the average two-bedroom apartment rents for $1,442 a month, more than the average rent in the high-income states of Massachusetts ($1,426), New York ($1,340) and California ($1,337)... Vermont has the 14th highest rent ($1,038) in the country. The cheapest

units in greater Burlington average $920, well above the total monthly disability check.” Even by earning $15 an hour, Page noted, renting a $920 a month apartment would consume 43 percent of a worker’s income. “In short, urban Vermonters are becoming like their big-city counterparts: ‘rent serfs’,” he claimed. “It’s a troubling irony; while leaders in these big Blue States preach economic equality, their cities practice landownership by the few and serflike living by the many. Huge sums spent on housing subsidies and temporary housing do little to slow the cost of housing.”

As far as overwhelming life circumstances, contributing the homelessness, Page suggests legislators will be encouraged to spend more taxpayer funds on drug abuse and mental illness. When it comes government social services empowering and enabling homelessness, Page admitted that it’s “admittedly hard to prove, much less make moral judgments about.” However, he noted that while social groups may help with immediate, basic needs for homeless people, they don’t do anything in helping make “lifestyle changes” to get people off the streets. ■ — The Eagle

FAQ regarding our Support Journalism campaign By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER

Since The Sun and Vermont Eagle launched the Support Local Journalism campaign, I’ve had an opportunity to talk with dozens of readers and community leaders about our efforts. A number of questions come up regarding what we are trying to accomplish. 1. Why doesn’t The Sun and Vermont Eagle just charge an annual subscription rate, like other newspapers?

Editor Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

Our business model has roots in both the paid and free newspaper industry. As such, we see the pros and cons of both models, which have brought us to the conclusion that we need to develop a plan that incorporates the strength of each model to best serve the community. Despite increased competition in the advertising arena, going forward, we will continue to rely on advertising for the majority of our revenue. This requires The Sun and Eagle to offer our advertising clients saturated coverage of each zip code in the desired communities.

We also learned from the experiences of other publications in the northeast. In the past few years, two downstate weekly publications attempted to go from a free model to a paid subscription model. These publications were unable to generate enough paid subscriptions to remain viable, and they quickly went out of business. Our intent is to survive – and thrive

– on advertising revenues supplemented by the support of our generous readers. We also feel that we provide a valuable service to the communities we serve and don’t want an inability to pay to stand in the way of a reader learning critical information about their community. 2. What do you plan to do with the money you generate from this campaign? It isn’t glamorous, but the money generated from our readers will help us offset continued increases in the cost of the three Ps – printing, postage, and people. Starting with tariffs on newsprint a couple of years ago, paper costs rose steeply and have now begun to level off at a rate much higher than pre-2017 levels. Postal rates continue to increase and will be increasing again in January. Personnel costs, including health care, increase each year. Our hope is that this campaign will not only allow us to cover these cost increases but may also allow us to expand our local news coverage. 3. Is there a goal or target in mind? We would like to see approximately 5% to 7% of our readers make a contribution, which would have roughly 3,500 to 5,000 readers stepping forward with a voluntary subscription out of more than 71,000 homes we deliver to each week. Altogether, that would raise about half of the cost our news gathering department. 4. Is this your last-ditch attempt to stay in business? Not at all. We are reaching out to our readers for support before it is too late – not after the die has been cast. Undoubtedly, it is a time of change for local newspapers. However, if this initiative reaches its target and some other

services we are exploring, we expect that Sun Community News, along with the Eagle, will continue covering local news and events well into the future. 5. How much does it cost to send me a newspaper? On average, it costs us just under 50 cents a week to print the newspaper and mail it. The cost of gathering and editing the news costs a little bit more than 50 cents a week per paper, so the total cost of a newspaper, per subscriber, is just over a dollar. 6. How is the campaign going? We’re off to a good start. My sincerest thanks go to those who have already made the decision to support local journalism by sending in a contribution. It’s been tremendously gratifying to speak with so many people who value our newspapers and recognize why we need to succeed. As of Dec. 26, we’ve received a total of $4,903 from 111 subscribers and we’ve received another 142 free requested subscriptions. If you haven’t yet made a contribution, please consider doing so by sending us a check along with the form available inside this edition, or by going to request.suncommunitynews.com from your web browser, then clicking the Enhanced Subscription Request bullet and following the directions. And if you have any further questions regarding the campaign, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at dan@suncommunitynews.com. ■ — Dan Alexander is owner and publisher of The Sun Community News and The Vermont Eagle.

Cross Street funds to oﬀset improvements

MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay recently reviewed with the town selectboard a first draft of the 2020 Annual Town Meeting Warning. She suggested, for the board’s consideration, consolidating an article to consider using $557,040 from the Cross Street Reserve Fund to offset capital improvements into the FY21 Budget Article, since the two issues are closely linked. The draft warning also includes three articles that will ask voters to consider issuing general obligation bonds to fund the following projects: Water system improvements for Court Street, Court Square and Washington Street, lood resiliency improvements for the village of East Middlebury, and rehabilitation of the former wastewater treatment facility on Lucius Shaw Lane for use as storage by the Police Department The board approved a request from Town Treasurer Jackie Sullivan to submit an application with the Vermont Municipal Bond Bank (VMBB) to draw down the final $1 million of up to $3 million in municipal bonds that were authorized by Middlebury voters in 2010 to fund a number of water system improvements. ■

South Street Ext. solar array receives support

MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury Selectboard concluded deliberations begun at its Dec. 10 meeting regarding Middlebury College’s 5MW solar project proposed to be sited on land off of South Street Extension. While acknowledging the concerns of residents about the project’s potential impact to the view along that section of road and affirming the need for broader community participation in the planning of such large-scale energy initiatives, a majority of the board (by a 5 to 2 vote) agreed to support the project, with the conditions recommended earlier by the Middlebury Planning Commission. The board further approved a motion made by member Laura Asermily to prioritize the development of a comprehensive energy vision for the town in the coming year. ■

Applications open for local businesses to vend at Big E MONTPELIER | Officials of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (VAAFM) announced that applications from Vermont businesses seeking to vend at the Vermont Building at the Eastern States Exposition (Big E) located in West Springfield, Massachusetts from Sept. 18 to Oct. 4, 2020, are open. The Vermont Building is one of six New England buildings on the Avenue of the States at the Big E, a 17-day fair and exposition which takes place each September. During this event, which brings in approximately 1.5 million people each year, the Vermont Building is home to a variety of Vermont food and retail businesses, which showcase the best of what Vermont has to offer. VAAFM Secretary Anson Tebbetts said, “The Vermont Building at the Big E truly shows the best of Vermont’s traditional and innovative products, highlighting the high quality of Vermont’s food, beverage and retail goods that are part of our working landscape.” The Vermont Building at the Big E hosts approximately 28 vendors each year. Booth spaces are offered for both retail and food/beverage products. There are spaces for the entirety of the 17-day fair and for 8-9 day rotating spots. While most booths are inside, there are additional spaces on the grounds for products deemed an appropriate fit. VAAFM has identified the following priorities for products at the Vermont Building for 2020: Vermont-sourced ingredients and/or materials, prepared foods not requiring a hood for ventilation, savory food products, and products that align with current regional/national trends. Any business or organization will be considered eligible that is registered with the Vermont Secretary of State, has been in business for over one year, and is in good standing with the State of Vermont. Applications are due Feb. 17, at 11:59 p.m. For questions regarding this marketing opportunity, contact: Kathryn Donovan at kathryn.donovan@vermont.gov . ■

Welch tourism bill is now U.S. law By Lou Varricchio

the Brand USA program has been renewed. Representative Welch continues to be a leader on this issue and clearly recognizes the importance of this industry to Vermont. With 13 million visitors a year and approximately $2 billion in annual spending, continuing to strengthen this industry is a successful economic strategy in Vermont,” said Betsy Bishop, President of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. Brand USA has a strong track record of attracting international visitors to the United States. In 2018 alone, it brought 1.13 million international visitors to the United States, generating an economic impact of $8.9 billion. In October, Welch unveiled his bill at a Stowe roundtable discussion with Vermont travel and tourism leaders. He is a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee from which the bill originated. ■

MONTPELIER | U.S. President Donald Trump has signed into law a fiscal year 2020 spending bill that includes bipartisan legislation introduced by U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) to promote Vermont and other states as a destination for international tourists. Welch’s bill reauthorizes Brand USA, a successful public-private partnership funded at no cost to taxpayers through a user fee on international visitors. Welch’s bill renews the program through 2027 and resolves a funding glitch that threatened its existence. “The travel and tourism industry is a key driver of Vermont’s economy,” said Welch. “Promoting Vermont as a four-season destination for international visitors will create local jobs and boost the economy in every corner of our beautiful state. This bipartisan win renews the successful Brand USA international marketing program and locks in a stable funding source that will advance Vermont’s reputation as a world class tourism destination.” “The Vermont Chamber is thrilled that

New worker relocation program to start MONTPELIER | The Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development announced the launch of the New Worker Relocation Grant Program on Jan. 1. The program offers reimbursement grants of up to $7,500 to new residents who move to Vermont and take a job with a Vermont business. During the 2019 legislative session, the legislature and governor worked together to pass, Act 80, which allocated nearly $1.2 million to fund the new worker relocation grant program. This new program follows the launch of the state’s remote worker program in 2019, which has seen 135 applications approved and 359 people, in total, move to Vermont.

“With our historically low unemployment rate, there are many business sectors in Vermont looking for qualified candidates to fill openings,” said Agency of Commerce and Community Development Secretary Lindsay Kurrle. “Businesses in the state will now have another incentive they can offer when trying to recruit people to work here.” “This program builds on the success of last year’s remote worker grant program to grow Vermont’s workforce” said Gov. Phil Scott. “Helping new Vermonters relocate and find employment is important as we work to reverse our demographic crisis, grow the economy and support employers so they succeed too. I’m grateful for the

They’re singing our song! State’s official state song isn’t “Moonlight in Vermont”. By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Here’s a trivia question that’s bound to stump your next panel of winter house guests: “What’s Vermont’s official song?“ No, it isn’t the John Blackburn and Karl Suessdorf 1944 hit “Moonlight in Vermont” (which really describes more of the Buckeye “These green hills and silver waters are State of Ohio, where it was written, than of the my home. They belong to me. And to all of Green Mountain State). her sons and daughters, may they be strong and forever free.” File photo

Legislature’s collaboration in developing innovative solutions.” The application process opened on Jan. 1 and is being administered by the Department of Economic Development. Eligible applicants must have relocated to Vermont and became full-time residents and full-time employees of a Vermont business on or after Jan. 1. Expenses eligible for reimbursement include closing costs for a primary residence, lease deposits, first month’s rent, hiring a moving company, renting moving equipment, shipping and the cost of moving supplies. Expenses necessary for a new worker to perform their employment duties that are not provided by the employer are also eligible,

However, at the turn of the century, Vermont officially adopted “These Green Mountains” as the 14th state’s official song. The 2000 song, “These Green Mountains”, was composed by Diane Martin and arranged by Rita Buglass Gluckstate, an all-women music team. Their song replaced Vermont’s original state song, a favorite, titled “Hail to Vermont!” penned by Josephine Hovey Perry. Apparently, no one much cared about sunsetting Hovey Perry’s staid 1938 tune for the hipper Y2K melody According to the new songwriters, forestcovered mountains appear in various in Vermont symbols such as the Green Mountain State nickname mountain , the state flag, the

including broadband connectivity, specialized tools and equipment and co-working space membership fees. The employer must certify these expenses are necessary to perform required job duties. Those interested in receiving a grant must submit a complete application, including documentation of expenses eligible for reimbursement and verification from the applicant’s employer. Grants will be awarded to newly relocated workers who submit complete applications on a first come, first served basis. For more information about the program, visit ThinkVermont.com. ■

In case you don’t know the lyrics of “These Green Mountains”, we reprint them here: These green hills and silver waters are my home. They belong to me. And to all of her sons and daughters May they be strong and forever free. Let us live to protect her beauty And look with pride on the golden dome.

Addison County to receive storm help From Staff & News Reports

contractor help, equipment rentals and other storm-related expenses.

THE EAGLE

MIDDLEBURY | Gov. Phil Scott has requested a Major Disaster Declaration for two federal programs for storm damages throughout Vermont caused by wind, rain and flooding from the Halloween Storm of Oct. 31-Nov. 1, 2019. Communities in Addison, Chittenden, Essex, Franklin, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans and Washington counties all showed losses of $3.84 per capita and will be included in the declaration request. The request is for assistance from the Public Assistance program, which seeks support for municipal infrastructure repairs, and the Individual Assistance program, which seeks aid for private homeowners and renters. Vermont officials have identified more than $5 million in damages to public infrastructure statewide, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has verified that Vermont has proven more than the minimum $1 million in damages to qualify for a Public Assistance declaration. A Public Assistance disaster declaration allows communities in declared counties to receive 75% reimbursement from the federal government for recovery costs associated with the storm. Costs include repair work on public roads and buildings, tree and debris removal from public rights of way, municipal employee time spent working on recovery,

“This was a significant storm on a scale we have not seen for some time and it left a number of small towns with large bills for recovery,” said Governor Scott. “The cost to repair roads and other public infrastructure will severely impact some municipal road budgets so this federal assistance is critical to our efforts.” Governor Scott has also requested Individual Assistance (IA) to help homeowners and renters recover from the storm. The request applies to private property in Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, Lamoille and Orleans counties. The Individual Assistance program provides financial aid or direct services to private citizens who have been unable to mitigate storm damages with other means. This can include rental assistance for temporary housing, grants to repair damage not covered by insurance and needs like replacement of personal property, vehicle repair, storage or other approved expenses. “There are several Vermonters facing economic hardships because of this storm, and as a state we are working to provide all possible avenues of relief,” said Vermont Emergency Management Director Erica Bornemann. “Receiving an IA declaration is not easy, there are many criteria to be considered when assessing the state and individuals’ ability to recover.”

The goal of the Individual Assistance program is to make essential living spaces safe, sanitary and habitable. Insurance and other available resources must be exhausted before aid is awarded. It can take several weeks for decisions to be issued for disaster declaration requests. If the Individual Assistance program request is granted, additional FEMA on-site inspections will take place with homeowners affected by the storm. Over 370 Vermonters have reported damage to their properties to date. These include damage to heating systems, floodwater and debris in homes and basements, washed out driveways and other damages. Vermonters with damage from the storm can still call 2-1-1 to report losses. FEMA will review the requests and make a recommendation to President Trump who will ultimately approve or deny the requests. ■

Middlebury Hall of Fame honors student athletes From Campus News Reports MIDLEBURY COLLEGE

MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebur y Athletics Hall of Fame was founded in 2014 to commemorate the achievements of those student-athletes, coaches and staff who have distinguished themselves through excellence in athletic performance and service. The first class of five inductees was inaugurated in January 2015 in conjunction with the opening of the College’s new field house. Subsequent classes will be inducted each fall in accordance with terms of the Hall of Fame Charter. Male students at Middlebury College have been competing in intercollegiate athletics since the 1880s. The first women’s intercollegiate athletic competition took place in 1934 with the women’s ski team holding its first ever carnival.

The formation of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) in 1971 and the legislation of Title IX in 1972 further bolstered the opportunities available to male and female student-athletes at Middlebury. While the college boasted Olympians and All-Americans over many decades, student-athletes were not allowed to compete at the national level as teams until 1994, when the NESCAC lifted its ban on postseason play. Since then, Middlebury studentathletes and coaches, with the aid of administrators and staff, have captured 33 national championships as well as the 2011-12 Director’s Cup, awarded to the Middlebury football head coach Bob Ritter has been named the D3football.com East Region Coach school with the best overall team performances in NCAA competition within of the Year. Senior tight end Frank Cosolito and junior linebacker Jack Pistorius were both named to the All-East Third Team. its division. ■ Middlebury College photo

Foretelling the Future: NWS at the 1980 Olympics

By Kim Dedam STAFF WRITER

LAKE PLACID | The Olympic region is about to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1980 Winter Games, and a new exhibit brings a hidden element of science in Olympic sport to light. Foretelling the Future -- The National Weather Service at the 1980 Olympic Winter Games was installed last week. Olympic Museum Director Alison Haas welcomed visitors to come in and report a weather forecast or make weather observations using live weather radar data coming from the Atmospheric Science Research Center on Whiteface Mountain. Patrons can also take steps back in time to explore the impacts weather had on the 1980 Winter Games and see some of the actual weather equipment used to help predict conditions for sporting events that year. “To most of us watching the Winter Olympics, the focus is on the thrill of the competition, but there is so much going on behind the scenes,” Haas said in announcing the installation. “This fun, new exhibit allows one to explore how weather impacts spectators, athletes, and organizers and how crucial forecasts are during the Olympics.” Both NOAA and the National Weather Service (NWS) in Burlington Vermont helped build the interactive exhibit to tell the meteorological story. “From their small forecast office in the Olympic arena, NWS Olympic Support Unit

meteorologists Jack May, Steve Harned, Gordon Tait, Doc Taylor and intern John Kelley took weather observations before and after each outdoor competition and issued winter weather forecasts, watches and warnings for Lake Placid and its nine outdoor Olympic venues,” NOAA’s Office of Coast Survey said of weather science used for the 1980 Winter Games. “From issuing critical forecasts for Olympic venue managers making snow and trucking it to cross-country ski trails, to emergency medical staff worrying about spectators getting frostbite while waiting hours for shuttle buses, the support unit’s actions ensured a safe and successful Olympic Games.” The former intern, John G.W. Kelley, Ph.D., is now a coastal modeller at NOAA’s Coast Survey Development Lab, the Jere A. Chase Ocean Engineering Lab in Durham, New Hampshire. He said the NWS Olympic Unit’s enthusiasm, ingenuity, dedication and focus inspired his career. “I saw firsthand how they overcame many challenges, ranging from initially having no

Is that worth 50 cents a week to you? Or $1? Perhaps more? If so, we are asking you to help support our efforts so that we can continue to provide this community service for many years to come.

Your Basic Subscription to The EAGLE remains free, but if you see the value and have the ability, we are asking you to consider Enhanced Support with a contribution of $26 (50 cents per week), $52 ($1 per week), or any other amount you feel is appropriate. Regardless, we really need your support to keep publishing and delivering this newspaper! Even if you can’t support our efforts financially, by filling out the form below, you may help us qualify for significant discounts from the U.S Postal Service. All we need is some necessary information and your signature stating that you are requesting a three-year free subscription to The EAGLE. In the next few months, we will evaluate the support generated from this request. If sufficient support is raised, we hope to maintain news coverage and distribution at our current level. If not, other remedies to reduce overhead will need to be implemented. As always, we welcome your feedback. If there’s anything we can do to improve your reader experience, please contact me at ed@suncommunitynews.com. Sincerely, Ed Coats, Publisher
