Report: Middlebury great for grads, but Champlain safest campus By Lou Varricchio THE EAGLE
MIDDLEBURY | Vermont’s best colleges received the royal treatment by the website WalletHub. The online personal-finance site just published it’s 2018’s Best College & University Rankings, along with separate rankings for colleges and universities. “With years of state budget cuts to higher education adversely affecting the cost and quality of schools and research showing that public institutions can outperform private colleges in terms of graduates’ career outcomes... (we) compared nearly 1,000 higher-education institutions in the U.S. based on 26 key measures grouped into seven categories, such as student selectivity, cost and financing and career outcomes. The data set ranges from student-faculty ratio to graduation rate to post-attendance median salary,” according to Diana Popa of WalletHub. WalletHub named and ranked the top seven colleges and universities in Vermont: 1. Middlebury College, 2. University of Vermont, 3. Champlain College, 4. Johnson State College, 5. Castleton University, 6. Southern Vermont College, and 7. Lyndon State College. “With the top schools are also how each performed in certain metrics,” Popa said. The top three performers appear below. Middlebury College (First=Best) First in admission rate, seventh in net cost, first in student-faculty ratio, fifth in oncampus crime, second in gender and racial diversity, first in graduation rate, and first in post-attendance median salary. However, actions by anti-free speech students from Middlebury College who disrupted a planned lecture by guest speaker, political scientist and author Dr. Charles Murray in the McCullough Student Center, probably have not calmed the more cautious parents of prospective students. University of Vermont (First=Best) Third in admission rate, fourth in net cost, sixth in student-faculty ratio, sixth in oncampus crime, fourth in gender and racial diversity, second in

GUNTHER | Seven-year-old neutered male Rottweiler.
I’m super handsome if I do say so myself. And I’m super sweet and I’m easy to have around. Needless to say I’m a big dog so I’ll need lots of room for me to romp around and spread out. I’m very playful and I do love toys so I hope my new owner stocks up on them for me. I’m social and I enjoy being with people. I like getting lots of love and attention and if you scratch my back I’ll hang out next to for quite a while. I’m a big love bug and if you want to cuddle I can help keep you warm this winter.
HOWIE | Five-year-old neutered male Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Mix.
I’m a big fella with a big personality to match. I’m very outgoing and social and I’m fun to be around. I love hanging out with my favorite people and getting lots of love and attention. If I feel like you should be giving me more attention than I’m getting I’ll come over and nudge you a bit (just in case you’ve forgotten about me.) so you can rub my belly (oh, I do love belly rubs.) and give me the attention I crave. Since I’m a big fella, I’ll need lots of room to romp around and spread out. I’m a happy go lucky guy who acts like a puppy sometimes (a big puppy.).

Pittsford’s cool caves hold ice year round By Lou Varricchio THE EAGLE
PITTSFORD | On a cold day in January, descending the Pittsford Ice Caves, located off Goat Farm Road, provides a breath of summer’s air, well, sort of. The Champlain Valley of Vermont is endowed with several spectacular, subterranean spots, including limestone solution caves and tectonic caves like the ones in Pittsford, better known as ice caves. Accompanied with another and reliable flashlights, proper caving attire, and all the necessary safety precautions, you can explore the Pittsford Ice Caves most every weekend. But beware of ice and slippery conditions. The famous Pittsford Ice Caves, a network of tectonic caves formed by rock slides thousands of years ago, were formerly owned by the Nature Conservancy. The natural feature, formed 10,000 years ago, are now under the stewardship of the town of Pittsford. The Nature Conservancy handed its ownership of the caves over to the town to better preserve it for local residents. The site is open to the public, but cavers enter at their own risk. “Caves like the Pittsford Ice Caves are a popular spot for local young people,” spelunker Rick Pingree told the Eagle in 2014. “But it’s dangerous to come alone and unprepared. Never enter a cave without a hard hat, three light sources, sturdy boots and a plan to get out. Let someone know where you are going too.” Pingree said that unlike familiar solution caves found in sedimentary rock such as limestone, tectonic or talus caves are formed by geological forces that cause rocks to split and move downhill. “The most common tectonic caves — spectacularly represented by the Pittsford Ice Caves — are talus caves formed by rock slides and cliff collapses,” he said. “In ice caves, winter ice accumulates and can remain in the caves into summer. One year, there was ice in the caves until August.” ■

During the past 18 months, college students have engaged in disruptive and even violent activities toward guest speakers whose ideas they considered offensive. In response, college administrators have tended to capitulate to—or collaborate with—the demonstrators by disinviting scheduled speakers and disciplining students or professors whose views were considered offensive. In fact, recent studies by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and the National Science Foundation together reveal that approximately 90 percent of colleges and universities have policies that either prohibit or substantially restrict free speech that is constitutionally protected. SPEAK UP: Censorship encourages hypocrisy and undermines our ability to persuade. If our society suppresses free speech, we won’t know who people really are or what they really think. Americans should beware. Unless we act to safeguard free speech on campuses, this depressing trend will continue indefinitely until the censors have gained control not only of universities, but coffee shops, churches, and public squares. What can we do to safeguard free speech on college and university campuses? Here are five

To the editor: On behalf of Green Mountain Power, Catamount Radio and Castleton University, we want to thank the people of Rutland and surrounding towns for their support of this year’s Gift-of-Life Marathon blood
ways that all of us can play our own unique role. 1. American citizens: Make a fresh case for the value of free speech. Each of us should leverage everyday opportunities—coffee shop conversations, community gatherings, and Facebook threads—to help our fellow citizens understand that censoring free speech undermines their best interests in at least three ways. First, censorship erodes the free and democratic nature of American society, tilting us in an authoritarian direction. If today’s public institutions are free to ban one set of offensive views, they’ll be free tomorrow to ban an entirely different set of views. As legal scholar Eugene Volokh has noted, Christians could be banned from criticizing certain tenets of Islam, and vice-versa. Pacifists could be restricted from criticizing the military. Conservatives could be disciplined for arguing that there are biological differences between men and women. In other words, the ideological winds change from season to season. If free speech ceases to be treated as a universal right, students today who are eager to suppress other people’s speech may one day find their own speech being suppressed. Second, censorship ignores the fact that social progress often depends on free speech. Many of the ideas we cherish most—such as racial and gender equality—were once considered offensive
drive. Every year we are deeply grateful to our local communities for their enthusiastic response to this event, which is so dear to us. This year, with your loyal support, we collected 591 pints of lifesaving blood.Knowing that every donation can help up to three patients, this year’s drive potentially touched 1,773 patients in
and even evil. Yet they are now welcomed precisely because courageous citizens were free to promote these once unpopular ideas in public discussion and debate. Third, censorship encourages hypocrisy and undermines our ability to persuade. If our society suppresses free speech, we won’t know who people really are or what they really think. People who hold offensive and even hateful views will probably hide those views, meaning that we will never be able to persuade them toward a better way of thinking. 2. College students: Convince your peers that censorship undermines their education. Well-meaning student activists don’t realize that shuttering free speech on public campuses undermines one of the most significant aspects of their education. Public universities should serve as microcosms of a free and democratic society. Michael Bloomberg and Charles Koch put it well: The purpose of a college education isn’t to reaffirm students’ beliefs, it is to challenge, expand, and refine them—and to send students into the world with minds that are open and questioning, not closed and self-righteous. This helps young people discover their talents and prepare them for citizenship in a diverse, pluralistic democratic society. American society is not always a comfortable place to be; the college campus shouldn’t be, either. » Guest viewpoint Cont. on pg. 9
need of blood transfusions. As we move into the new year, we ask every reader to resolve to become a regular blood donor. Blood is perishable, and has to be constantly replenished, yet only 3 percent of the U.S. population are donors! We can do better than that, as we’ve proven here in the
greater-Rutland area. Please, don’t wait until someone you love needs a transfusion – make blood donation a priority. We hope to see you in July for the Mini Giftof-Life Marathon. Steve Costello, Green Mountain Power Terry Jaye, Catamount Radio ■ Vcm10111 I lhtori ca\ SociCI)

New ACTR bus pull-off downtown MIDDLEBURY | To improve public safety, ACTR will make use of the dedicated bus pull off near St. Stephen’s Church after the Jan. 1. ACTR had temporarily delayed this action until after the busy holiday shopping season. The temporary delay necessitated heightened caution by car drivers and bus drivers while passenger activity took place in the travelled lane. An average 40 riders per day have relied on the Middlebury Post Office stops since they were added to bus schedules on Dec. 1. This access makes the downtown reachable by transit riders, ensuring the Town and ACTR meet ADA and Title VI requirements for accessibility similar to handicapped-accessible parking spots. Commuters and shoppers who choose to ride the bus are helping to alleviate downtown congestion, not adding to it with personal vehicles, which also reduces
the pressure on parking spots. The accommodation by ACTR to use the travel lane during December was made with the intention to reduce risk. “The temporary holiday configuration has led to some riders darting across both lanes of traffic, rather than waiting on the St. Stephen’s side behind parked cars where sight lines are poor,” Jim Moulton, ACTR executive director, said. Moulton said that bus pull-offs at busy locations are safer for pedestrians, car drivers and bus riders. Pulling out of traffic at this spot helps car drivers because it is less disruptive to traffic flow, which improves safety and reduces driver inconvenience and frustration. ■ To improve public safety, ACTR will make use of the dedicated bus pull off near St. Stephen’s Church after the Jan. 1.

Girls on the Run raises the bar for local girls From Staff & News Reports THE EAGLE
RUTLAND | Girls on the Run Vermont (GOTRVT) is widely known throughout the state for its physical activity-based, positive youth development program designed to empower local girls in 3rd through 8th grade.

Farm-Food programs continues despite RAFFL closure

RUTLAND | Changes at a local farm-food operation in the Rutland area won’t impact the organization’s vital service to the needy around Rutland County. According to statement last week by the board of directors of the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link (RAFFL), all of its five existing programs will continue operating into
the future, despite RAFFL’s impending closure. According to RAFFL’s Larry Courcelle, the RAFFL board announced in October that it would cease operations by year end, but hoped to transition these successful programs to other local non-profit organizations that could provide leadership and stability going forward. “RAFFL runs five programs that support farms, connect the community to local produce, and provide a unique service in the Rutland area: Everyday Chef, Glean Team,
Farm Fresh Connect, Farm Business Development, and the Locally Grown Guide,” Courcelle said in a news statement released Dec. 26. “It has been our goal to see that RAFFL’s legacy will continue through the programs that so many local producers and customers depend on....” Courcelle noted that the Vermont Foodbank will take over the Glean Team, which gleans “unharvested” produce from local farm producers and donates it locally. “In addition,” Courcelle said, “the Vermont Foodbank is partnering with the Vermont Country Store to operate the Farm Fresh Connect online market. They will form an advisory team that will develop a strategic plan for Farm Fresh Connect and leverage opportunities to work with local colleges to support both the Glean Team and the online market.” This new advisory team will also retain the Locally Grown Guide through 2018 and will develop a plan for its future beyond that date. “Each of RAFFL’s programs is well established and popular with those they serve,” said Mr. Courcelle. “We are grateful to our for-profit and non-profit friends who will continue where RAFFL is leaving off. We could not be more pleased that the seeds we have sown will be given the opportunity to grow and prosper.” The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT) will take on the Farm Business Development program, which provides support and guidance to new farm producers to grow and expand their business. ■

Expansion of Castleton athletics led by Wolk FROM CAMPUS NEWS REPORTS CASTLETON UNI V ERSIT Y
CASTLETON | On Dec. 1, Dave Wolk served his final day as the president of Castleton University. It was capped by several announcements, most notably the decision by the Vermont State Colleges System (VSCS) Board of Trustees to rededicate Spartan Stadium as Dave Wolk Stadium next fall. Wolk was university president for 16 years, the longest tenure in the history of the institution. In that time, he worked to increase the student population and enhance the Castleton experience. When Wolk took over in 2001, Castleton sponsored 12 varsity sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, and men’s and women’s tennis. There were some historical moments of Castleton athletics in the 20th century: the men’s soccer team’s NAIA Co-Championship in 1963, current NBA head coach Stan Van Gundy leading the men’s basketball team to the NAIA Tournament in the mid-1980s, and numerous Mayflower Conference titles across the board. In his inaugural address on Sept. 26, 2002, Wolk listed three major capital improvement projects that needed to be undertaken within five years. “Second, we need to improve our athletic facilities, including the development of a stateof-the-art fitness center,” Wolk said. Immediately, Wolk began positioning Castleton State College for athletic success, successfully applying for full membership in the North Atlantic Conference starting in 2002-03. He then began the process of expanding the athletic offerings at Castleton, returning field hockey to varsity status after a 12-year hiatus. A Vermont native, Wolk felt that increasing the number of winter sports would keep more prospective students in the state. Starting in 2003-04, Castleton offered men’s and women’s alpine skiing and men’s and women’s ice hockey as varsity sports. He once again added to the fall schedule in 2005 with the inclusion of men’s golf and women’s volleyball within the Spartan athletic program. Meanwhile, he oversaw renovations of current residence halls
as well as the building of new structures such as Castleton Hall and the Houses to account for the enrollment increase. In the spring of 2006, Wolk was elected as Chair of the NAC Presidents Council as the conference began awarding automatic bids to NCAA Tournaments for its champions. Wolk understood the value of student-athletes within the campus community, always extolling the fact that the GPA of Castleton student-athletes is higher than that of the student body as a whole. In 2006-07, he established the President’s Cup for Academic Excellence, now awarded each season to the athletic team with the highest grade point average. For Wolk and Castleton, the game-changer came at the end of the decade, with the announcement of the Castleton Student Initiative, a $25.7 million project which reinvigorated student life and learning and changed the face of campus. One of the centerpieces of the project was the new Spartan Stadium, a multi-use Field Turf facility for soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, …. and football. Yes, Castleton’s 20th NCAA sport would be football. In the face of those who were skeptical, Wolk pushed forward. On Aug. 27, 2009, nine days before the dedication of the new stadium and the first intercollegiate football game in Castleton history, Wolk told the assembled students, faculty, and staff to “Savor the Moment.” In the summer of 2015, Castleton State College became Castleton University, now the “small university with the big heart.” That academic year, six more sports would join the Spartan athletic program: men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s Nordic skiing, and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field. The 27th and 28th sports to join the Castleton athletic department, women’s rugby and men’s wrestling, began competition in 2016-17. With the expansion of sport offerings has come an increase in athletic staff: more athletic trainers, more help in athletic communications, and more graduate assistants, once again helping the school academically as the master’s program in athletic leadership has grown in the past few years. Once many of these improvements were put in place, Wolk began working on enhancing the athletic department’s image as a competitive program. Last spring, Cas-
Outgoing Castleton University President Dave Wolk led the effort to make the institution a leader in Vermont college-level athletics. Photo by Castleton University tleton University was accepted as the ninth member of the Little East Conference to begin full membership in the 2018-19 academic year. So with 2017 coming to a close and a new administration taking hold at Castleton under the leadership of Dr. Karen Scolforo, it is worth remembering that the Castleton athletics program would not be at its current level without the work and support of Dave Wolk. From Wolk’s final convocation speech this past August: “It is worth noting that the increased numbers of student athletes, students first and athletes second, have had a remarkable effect on improving campus life at Castleton in every way. In 2001 we had about 100 student athletes here, and now we have close to 700, with women and men playing 28 intercollegiate sports and over 500 participating in intramural sports. Our students, who also happen to be athletes, have made an impressive and enduring impact on our campus and on student life, with grade point averages continuing to exceed that of the general student population. Service activities, making a difference in our community before they go out to make a difference in the world, allow our students to continue to transform themselves as they transform our world.” ■

Elias in charge of Middlebury’s Men’s Soccer programs From College news reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
MIDDLEBURY | Alex Elias ‘08 has been named the fifth men’s soccer head coach at Middlebury since 1958. He replaces 33-year veteran David Saward, who recently stepped down. Elias won an NCAA Championship as a player with the Panthers in 2007 and recently finished his fourth season as the team’s top assistant coach last fall. “To put it simply, this is the highest honor for which I could ask,” said Elias. “I am proud of the tradition of excellence and character that is Middlebury Men’s Soccer and am eager to continue it. The enduring friendship and support of the Middlebury Men’s Soccer alumni only increases the meaning and privilege of this appointment.” “It became clear over the past few years that Alex was the best choice to take over from his mentor, David Saward,” said Director of Athletics Erin Quinn. “He is respected by peers within the department, the conference and by the student-athletes he has served. He was an outstanding student-athlete at Middlebury, excelling both on the field and as a leader as well as in the classroom.” Since returning to Middlebury, Elias has helped guide the Panthers to the NESCAC Semifinals each of his four seasons, including an appearance in the 2017 championship match. During his tenure, he has aided in the development of 17 AllNESCAC players, the 2014 NESCAC Player of the Year,

he Commodore Booster Club would like to recognize Brett Ward and City Limits for their continued support of Vergennes Union High School and Middle School athletics. Brett's generous support has been unwavering since 2001 and has resulted in over $325,000 in contributions to the Commodore Booster Club. These funds have made it possible for the Club to assist the Athletic Department with its purchases beyond the school budget; things such as new equipment, team uniforms, and ongoing improvements to the outdoor facilities. The Club was also able to add the new outdoor concession stand that will be named the "Sam Allo Snack Shack," in honor of the founder of the Commodore Booster Club.

» Guest viewpoint Cont. from pg. 4 That’s why the University of Chicago has made clear it will not support “trigger warnings,” cancel events involving controversial speakers, or create intellectual “safe spaces” where students can hide from views and ideas with which they disagree. And this is precisely why college students should make clear to their peers that they welcome students of all backgrounds with whom they can discuss and debate a wide variety of ideas. 3. Professors: Safeguard free inquiry and help students find appropriate ways of protesting. In years past, university professors understood that censorship undermined the university’s purpose, which is free inquiry. Consider, for example, the 1915 “General Declaration of Principles,” issued by the American Association of University Professors, which states that freedom of inquiry and speech are “the breath in the nostrils of all [academic] activity” and that therefore the university should safeguard free speech even when that speech is offensive. Today’s professors need to help their students to have the same respect for free speech, offering them a variety of ways to express their disagreement with a speaker’s views. Instead of shouting down an invited speaker, students could put out a social media call to boycott the talk, leaving the speaker to express his views in an almost-empty auditorium. Similarly, students could organize a parallel event. Even better than both of these options, however, is for students to attend the event, ask tough questions, engage in smart debate, and show the audience a better way.

4. Administrators: Find ways to curb student-led violence, shout-downs, and disruptions. In several instances involving shout-downs or disruptive activity, student demonstrators have defended themselves by claiming their activities were acts of free speech rather than violations of it. Administrators should reject that line of reasoning. Many instances of disruption are, in fact, violations of constitutional freedoms. As Howard Gillman and Erwin Chemerinsky write, “[c]onstitutional lawyers have long recognized that the ‘heckler’s veto’—defined as the suppression of speech in order to appease disruptive, hostile, or threatening members of the audience—can be as much of a threat to rights of free expression as government censorship.” In response to disruptive activity, therefore, administrators should make every effort to prevent such disruptions before they happen and control them when they do. Even better, they should make policies—as the University of Chicago did—that clearly communicate the value of free speech as well as the disciplinary actions that will be taken against students or professors who undermine it. 5. Politicians: Withhold federal research funding from institutions that shutter free speech. In our efforts to safeguard free speech and protect the free and democratic nature of our republic, we should not let politicians off the hook. As Frederick Hess and Grant Addison argued recently, we should urge the federal government to withhold federal research funding—which composes approximately 60 percent
of research funds—from colleges and universities that do not safeguard free speech and inquiry. Additionally, we should demand that politicians themselves refrain from engaging in their own literal and metaphorical shout-downs. This was William McGurn’s point in a recent column, when he wrote, “No one asks whether [Washington’s cheap and polarized politics] might have something to do with a generation of students indulged in the view that they should never have to hear an opinion different from their own. How much easier it is to bang on windows, block an entryway and drop your F-bombs than, say, engage … in genuine argument.” Americans of all stripes: Work together to safeguard free speech in public places. Americans who are Christians have another reason to promote free speech: We want the liberty to preach the gospel and its moral teachings, even though many Americans find Christianity offensive and discriminatory. If we do not push back effectively against attempts to shutter free speech, we may very well find ourselves—eventually— living in a nation whose public universities and spaces censor our attempt to speak about that which is most precious to us. Few Americans, however, want to live in a nation that keeps us from expressing who we are and what we believe. For that reason, we should work together now to safeguard free speech on college campuses. That is something Americans of all stripes should be able to agree on. ■

Brock appointed to Vermont State Senate By Lou Varricchio THE EAGLE
MONTPELIER | Gov. Phil Scott announced the appointment of Randy Brock, of Swanton, to represent the Franklin District in the Vermont State Senate. Brock, a Republican, will replace Dustin Degree, who stepped down from the Senate last month to serve in the Scott Administration as special assistant to the Governor and director of workforce expansion. Brock was elected as Vermont’s 28th State
Auditor and previously served two terms in the Vermont Senate. “Randy is a dedicated public servant, and has invaluable experience in the private sector and in the legislature, which will allow him to hit the ground running next week when we start the second half of the biennium,” said Scott. “From my time serving alongside Randy in the Senate, I know he will be a strong advocate for his constituents, and more broadly, for all Vermonters. I look forward to working with Randy on solutions to the complex challenges we face as a state, in a way that Vermonters can afford.”
Brock also served in Vietnam as a Captain in the Army Military Police Corps and was appointed by President George W. Bush to the Board of Visitors to the United States Military Academy at West Point where he served as the vice chair in 2010 and 2011. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Middlebury College and a Master of Arts degree from Yale University. “I am honored to receive this appointment from Gov. Scott and for the opportunity to serve the people of Franklin County again,” said Brock. “I look forward to joining Senator Branagan in representing Franklin County

1. Saves Money
An endless supply of softened water has many benefits : • Gas water heaters are up to 24% more cost-efficient with softened water. • Shower heads become clogged with hard water in less than two years . Some might argue this helps reduce water usage, but it doesn't make for much of a shower.

The benefits of softened water are clear .
