LUDLOW Ñ Jason Rasmussen of the Southern Windsor County Regional Planning Commission was the guest on a local community television program to discuss the pending public hearing on the proposed bike path in Ludlow. The trail is planned to run from the fire station to Jackson Gore and Buttermilk Falls. The hearing, scheduled for Thursday, April 11, at 5 p.m., in the Conference Room of Ludlow Town Room, will seek to gather public input from interested citizens regarding the use, structure, and nature of the proposed bike path. According to Rasmussen, the proposed bike path is still Ò very much in the planning stageÓ and needs user input on it and how the proposed bike path should proceed.
Good food, old-fashioned service at Midway Diner By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND Ñ Popular U.S. chef Michael Symon, a frequent personality on televisionÕ s Food Network, knows a good thing when he eats it. Ò I still eat at the same diner I did as a kid with my parents,Ó he admitted recently while pointing to his favorite hometown diner located along ClevelandÕ s Lake Erie waterfront. In the case of RutlandÕ s Midway Diner & Steakhouse, there appear to be plenty of folks who agree with SymonÕ s philosophy about good food and the American classicÑ the diner. The Midway Diner, established in 1948 and completely rebuilt in 1996, is among RutlandÕ s oldest, most successful eating establishments. Fancy restaurants come and goÑ such as the South Station Restaurant, which closed last monthÑ but no frills, all-American eateries like the Midway manage to stand the test of time. Regardless of their long history of success, the two owners of the Midway Diner, as well as their diner staff, will tell you it takes a lot of hard work. Ò What the formula for success? Hard work, good food, good service, consistency, and pleasant workers are CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Blessing of the Bikes is annual event By Lou Varricchio

Vermont’s annual Blessing of the Bikes is held by the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club in Vergennes. Photo by Motorcycle Philosophy
VERGENNES — No one really knows when the practice first began, but Ò Blessing of the BikesÓ events are now held annually in the United States and in 11 other nations. The idea of blessing motorcycles is believed to have originated with the practice of European priests blessing farm animals which dates to the Middle Ages, possibly earlier. The first mass blessing of motorcycles in the U.S. took place in 1999 at St. John the Divine Cathedral in New York, N.Y. A large event has been held annually in Los Angeles since 2003; it is affiliated with the city’s Good Samaritan Hospital. In Vermont, the largest and most visible Blessing of the Bikes ceremony is held by the state chapter of the Red Knights, a group of international motorcycling firefighters. This year, Vermont Chapter 4 of the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club will sponsor its blessing of the bikes, Saturday, May 18, at 11 a.m., in Vergennes, according to Red Knights publicist Mike Coyle. Coyle said the event, open to all bikers, not just Red Knights members, costs $8 CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

From the Editor
I
The summer that wasn’t
n my lifetime, climate change has been the subject of newspaper front pages, at least, since the 1970s. Now, depending upon what source you consultÑ either Newsweek magazineÕ s famous 1975 cover story about a coming ice age or Vice President Al GoreÕ s more recent global-warming predictionsÑ it seems you canÕ t rely on the news media, let alone the experts, to predict the future. This fact isnÕ t surprising to me. If I put all the data and theories aside, I still come up with the simple fact that because the future hasnÕ t happened yet, who really knows anything about it? Suffice it to say, entire professional careers have been made by predicting climate’s doom, gloom or spring blooms. Thus, the only reliable information we have about Ò climate changeÓ is what has happened in the past. ThatÕ s why the amazing true story of the Ò Year Without a SummerÓ has always fascinated me. While researching an upcoming North Country Living magazine article I am writing about this subject, IÕ ve learned that climate change can both ruin your way of life and improve upon it. The infamous Ò Year Without a SummerÓ spanned the years 1815-16. This dramatic, albeit shortlived, climate-change event was triggered by the Mt. Tambora supervolcanic explosion in far-away Indonesia. Tambora is a neighbor to the more famous Krakatoa volcano which exploded in the 1880s. In a Burlington, Vt., newspaper story published in July 1816, a frustrated Addison County farmer summed up the miserable weather events of that spring and summer: Ò (This is) the most gloomy and extraordinary weather ever seen.Ó As strange as it may seem, and more than half a world away, Vermont was among the hardest hit of northeastern states during the climate event. Farmers, and war veterans returning to Vermont fields after the War of 1812-15, bore the brunt of this natural disaster. Ò Some account was given . . . of the unparalleled severity of the weather. It continued, without any essential amelioration from the 6th to the 10th (of June) with instant freezing... (with) hard frosts five nights in succession as it usually does in December,” reported the front-page of the North Star newspaper of Danville, Vt., on the cold morning of June 15, 1816. According to meteorologist Dan SuriÕ s popular weather-related website, Dantheweatherman. com, Ò On the night of the 6th, water froze an inch thick and on the night of the 7th and morning of the 8th, a kind of sleet or exceeding cold snow fell, attended with high wind, which measured in places where it was drifted, 18 to 20 inches in depth. Saturday morning the weather was more severe than it generally is during the storms of winter.Ó In May 1816, hard frosts killed off most of the crops planted in Vermont. By June, two large snowstorms pummeled the state; several deaths resulted. The result of the “Year Without a Summer” was the first out-migration from Vermont and elsewhere in northern New England. Many area farmers, wiped out in the summer of 1816, headed west into central New York, and beyond, in the spring of 1817. Wagon trains left VermontÑ traversing the Champlain Valley south to the Hudson River and then west into the Mohawk Valley. These wagon trains consisted of farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, and other workers and their families. An interesting side note is that as a direct result of VermontÕ s climate-change Ò westward-hoÓ exodus, the building of the Erie Canal got a big boost. Another surprising outcome of all the dire volcanic-winter weather was a change in technology, too. Without oats to feed horses in cold northern Europe that summer, German inventor Karl Drais developed an early mode of horseless transportation related to the modern bicycleÑ the Laufmaschine or velocipede. It first appeared on farms in Europe and later in America. Also frustrated by the shortage of pen quills following the climate disaster, Drais invented a unique writing machine—the typewriter. The device’s finger keyboard remains with us today as a central component of 21st century computers. And so, we see, climate change can have outcomes that the experts and politicians didnÕ t see coming. Lou Varricchio

Actress to recreate life of Dorothy Canfield Fisher By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com SALISBURY Ñ Author Dorothy Canfield Fisher is famous to many local students because of a school reading list named in her honor, but Vermonters know less about why she was so honored. You can find out on Monday, April 15, at 7 p.m., at the Congregational Church in Salisbury. The History Alive! presentation, hosted by the Salisbury Library and supported by the Vermont Humanities Council, will present Dorothy Canfield Fisher, as portrayed by Dr. Helene Lang, speaking about her life and work in literacy and education and her myriad ways of caring for society of Vermont and the world at large. Lang, who retired as a professor of literature at the University of Vermont in 2005, has always had an interest in the life and writings of Canfield Fisher. And after teaching for 50 years, she finally decided to devote retirement time to talking about the Vermont author. Through the authorÕ s own words, she recreates her personality

Ludlow bookstore College to host international recycling summit is ‘World Book Night’ participant By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com LUDLOW Ñ On April 23, 25,000 volunteers from Berkeley to Boston and Los Angeles to Ludlow will give away half a million free books in more than 6,000 towns and cities across the country. World Book Night U.S. is an ambitious campaign to give thousands of free, specially printed paperbacks to light or nonreaders across America on one day. In western Windsor County, the Book Nook bookshop will be the focus of the campaign. Volunteer book lovers help promote reading by going out into their communities and sharing free copies of books they love. The mission of World Book Night is to seek out those without the means or access to printed books. Volunteers in Windsor County will be picking up books at the Book Nook in Ludlow and sharing them in locations as diverse as the V.A. Hospital in White River Junction, area nursing homes, elementary schools, and Black River Food Shelf. The Book Nook, located at 136 Main St. in Ludlow, is the local partner in World Book Night U.S. for a second year. Several other Vermont bookshops are also participating. The store will hold a pre-World Book Night reception the week before April 23. On April 16, the store will welcome local givers to pick up their books, chat about books and enjoy some snacks. The shop will also be open April 23 for a related, monthly nonfiction book discussion and to further celebrate the joy of reading The free editions are available only for volunteers to take into the community, but Book Nook will display the books later in the spring.
MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Vermont based World Reuse, Repair and Recycling Association, a fair-trade recycling association, will host importers of recycled electronic products and policy experts from African, Asian, and Latin American at an April 16 summit at Middlebury College, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Free and open to the public, the event will highlight the environmental and economic benefits of socially responsible e-waste recycling practicesÑ an export market the association says could grow from $10 Billion to $55 billion by 2015 as responsible reuse systems expand. Seating in the classroom events is limited. The event is the first time a comprehensive group of colleges and universities will join regulators, watchdogs, activists and e-waste recycling professionals in discussing the importance of e-waste recycling, particularly in emerging and developing markets.
In recent years, the export of used computers has been put on the defensive, the group says, with bans and certifications advocated by some manufacturers which falsely suggest e-waste recycling exports are unnecessary, exploitative or polluting. Nothing could be further from the truth, the association contends, and that is what this daylong dialogue of experts will show. The World Reuse, Repair and Recycling Association is a consortium of electronics recycling professionals finding and implementing economically and socially responsible solutions for the Ò e-wasteÓ problems here at home and overseas. Members pledge not to ship toxics, adhere to strict international environmental and economic standards and best practices and advocate for the social, environmental and economic wellbeing of the people of both importing and exporting nations.

Hopkins also outlined his plans for the Brandon GOP in the upcoming year called Ò Opportunities for the Off-YearÓ . Ò I believe that two-party government is in the best interests of Vermont and will bring an element of moderation to state government, which has suffered under the current one-party rule,Ó Hopkins said.

Ludlow bookstore is ‘World Book Night’ participant By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com
LUDLOW Ñ On April 23, 25,000 volunteers from Berkeley to Boston and Los Angeles to Ludlow will give away half a million free books in more than 6,000 towns and cities across the country. World Book Night U.S. is an ambitious campaign to give thousands of free, specially printed paperbacks to light or nonreaders across America on one day. In western Windsor County, the Book Nook bookshop will be the focus of the campaign. Volunteer book lovers help promote reading by going out into their communities and sharing free copies of books they love. The mission of World Book Night is to seek out those without the means or access to printed books. Volunteers in Windsor County will be picking up books at the Book Nook in Ludlow and sharing them in locations as diverse as the V.A. Hospital in White River Junction, area nursing homes, elementary schools, and Black River Food Shelf. The Book Nook, located at 136 Main St. in Ludlow, is the local partner in World Book Night U.S. for a second year. Several other Vermont bookshops are also participating. The store will hold a pre-World Book Night reception the week before April 23. On April 16, the store will welcome local givers to pick up their books, chat about books and enjoy some snacks. The shop will also be open April 23 for a related, monthly non-fiction book discussion and to further celebrate the joy of reading.

Schroon Lake Distance Festival filling up Half marathon, marathon entries near limit By Fred Herbst
fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE Ñ The 17th annual Adirondack Distance Festival is nearing capacity in two events. The Adirondack Distance Festival includes a full marathon, a marathon relay, a half marathon, 10-kilometer race, 5-kilometer race and childrenÕ s race. The 2013 distance Festival will be Sept. 21-22. The marathon, marathon relay and half marathon will be contested Sunday, Sept. 22, with the other events Saturday, Sept. 21. The half marathon and marathon are nearing their limit, according to Bob Singley of the event committee. He believes the interest in the two races is the result of attention in a national running publication. Readers of Ò Competitor.comÓ have named the half marathon along Schroon Lake as the best in the Northeast. The Boston Marathon was named the best marathon in the Ò Competitor.comÓ poll, while Lake Placid marathon was selected as the best destination race in the Northeast. Ò With online readers and social media followers of www.competitor.com voting the Adirondack Half Marathon as the best half marathon in the Northeast, the race to secure a coveted entry for the Sept. 22 tour around scenic Schroon Lake is in full swing,Ó Singley said. Ò Currently, entries for all events are running well ahead of previous years and are expected to sell out soon. Ò While half marathons are by far the fastest growing distance event in the United States, the full Adirondack Marathon entries are not far behind, perhaps indicating a new trend in distance
running,Ó he continued. Ò The increasing popularity of various overnight relay series, is spurring interest in our shorter relay options, so now would be the time to gather your team.Ó People can visit www.adirondackmarathon.org for more information and to register online. The marathon will again offer Ò Pace Bears,Ó who will lead runners at their goal pace. “Pace Bear” groups will cross the finish line beginning at 3:30 and in 15 minute increments afterward through a 5:30 pace. The event is also seeking volunteers. Interested people can contact Joel Friedman, race director, by Email at volunteers.adkmarathon@yahoo.com The marathon course is a Boston Qualifier, USATF certified course and is billed as Ò probably the most beautiful 26 miles and 385 yards you will ever run.Ó To register or for more information visit www.adirondackmarathon.org. More than 900 runners took part in the 2012 Adirondack Distance Festival Sept. 23. Stanley Larkin of Saint-basile-le-grand, Quebec, won the menÕ s marathon in 2 hours, 53 minutes, 24 seconds, while Meg Ray of New York City claimed the womenÕ s title in 3:18:54. In the handcycle race, Jeremy Shortsleeve of Jericho, Vt., won the race in 1:48:44. The marathon, 26 miles, 385 yards, circumnavigates Schroon Lake over challenging forest roads with lakeside views until it finishes back at the Schroon town beach. It had 239 finishers. The marathoners had company over the second half of the course as 511 half marathoners toed the starting line in Adirondack and raced to the finish in Schroon Lake 13.1 miles later. Michael Brady of Brooklyn won the menÕ s half marathon in 1:14:22. Melanie Staley of Saratoga Springs won the womenÕ s title in 1:27:00. There were also marathon relays Ñ one for two-person teams
and another for four-person teams. The team of Ehntholt-Paquette won the two-person relay in 2:55:20. The team of Toelstedt, White, Cote and Cresci won the four-person relay in 3:12:45.

15 species - 50 weeks - $25,000! On April 13, 2013, LCI has announced the launch of their first all-new tournament in over a decade: The Inaugural LCI Champlain Basin Derby. The Champlain Basin Derby, or CBD for short, is the new evolution of our venerable All-Season Tournament. When asking ourselves the question Ò how can we engage more anglers, and bring them more ways to win?Ó we realized it was time to take things basin wide. This new, 50-week event is open to any legal, public body of water within the US portion of the Lake Champlain Basin. There are 15 eligible species, and more than $25,000 in cash prizes to be split among the top three heaviest fish in each category. Stop off at your favorite stream after work? YouÕ re in! Have a secret spot on your local lake? YouÕ re in! Know a hidden reef to troll? YouÕ re in! Weigh them in at a location close to your favorite fishing hole, then head on home and have a fresh fish dinner! Why basin wide? Just like our nationally known FatherÕ s Day Derby presented by Yamaha, proceeds from the Champlain Basin Derby support LCIÕ s award-winning conservation programs. By bringing waters into play from well beyond Lake Champlain - hundreds of miles away in some cases - we draw attention to the fact that our waters are all connected, and what happens upstream can have a big impact on those downstream. 50 weeks - 15 species - $25,000 dollars. If you fish in the basin, you donÕ t want to miss out on this one! For more information and to register visit www.lciderby.com

Midway Diner from page 1
what really matter in the long run,Ó says John Valenti, who operates the diner with partner Frank Trombetta. Trombetta also owns Midway Oil in Rutland County. ValentiÕ s daughter, Lisa Valenti Blanchard, manages the dayto-day details of the restaurant. The original Midway Diner was started by Eddie Copps. In 1962, Copps retired and sold it to TrombettaÕ s father, Frank, Jr. Frank, Jr., bought the diner with the idea of adding a Philips 66 service station right along Main Street/Route 7. The diner was moved back to a new footprint; the gas station was built to serve local folks, as well as out-of-towners, along U.S. Route 7. Ò Between 1962 and 1978,Ó Valenti notes, Ò my partner FrankÕ s fatherÑ Frank, Jr. and his tow brothersÑ owned the place. I was the manager. Then, Frank and I became partners in 1978.Ó Valenti, a native of Italy, is proud of his heritage and the contributions Italians made to the Rutland-area economy. Ò Italian immigrants knew how to prepare food, quarry stone,

and cut lumber,Ó he says. Ò We grew to become a big part of Vermont, especially in the Rutland community.Ó In 1996, having outgrown their classic old-style diner, Valenti and Trombetta decided to revamp the facility to provide expanded seating, more space for dinner meetings and social get togethers, and updated food-preparation equipment. Diners have a solid place in the American psyche. While older customers predominate, younger people are discovering local diners provide homemade-style foods and friendly, local service not found in the fast-food chain restaurants. The classic American diner is a lot like an older mobile home; the structure is typically narrow to enable roadway transportation from manufacturer to destination. Years ago, diners were often adapted from retired railroad dining cars. “You always find the customers who were attached to the old building,Ó Valenti said, Ò but that thing was getting old. Those old diners werenÕ t really built for the Northeast. YouÕ d freeze in the winter and find it hard to cool in the summer. Then, parts were hard to find since the manufacturer was no longer in business.Ó Despite itÕ s modern construction, the new Midway Diner is evocative of its post-war predecessor; it still attracts die-hard diner customers. Several of the MidwayÕ s Ò old timersÓ having been coming to the diner since the 1960s. “I remember when the lot would be filled with big trucks,” Valenti said, admitting that convenient stores and fast-food chains have siphoned someÑ but not allÑ of the dining clientele. Regardless, RutlandÕ s established eateries such as the Midway Diner and Seward family restaurant are still on RutlandÕ s top 10 hit parade. Ò When the Howe Scale factory was still operating with its 500 employees,Ó Valenti recalls, Ò weÕ d get swamped with workers on their lunch break. The waitresses really had to hustle.Ó With the decline of industrial Rutland, the Midway Diner came to rely on other locals, with a growing number of white collar workers, and the over 35,000 cars that travel daily along Route 7Ñ through RutlandÑ between Bennington and Burlington.
Valenti also recalls those Howe Scale workers paying 97 cents for a lunch plate in 1962. Ò Ninety-seven cents plus the three percent food tax,Ó he adds. Today, while Vermont dining habits may have changed when compared to 1948, the Midway Diner still thrives, not afraid to reinvent itself over the decades. To mark its solid place in the Vermont firmament, the Midway has had its share of celebrity sightings over the years, too. Ò Movie actor Treat Williams was in here last week,Ó Valenti says. Ò He is a very nice man. No one bothered him for an autograph. We just let him enjoy his meal in peace.Ó Other celebrities spotted in the Midway recently have been actress Morgan Fairchild, U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (VermontÕ s senior senator drops by the diner every time heÕ s in Rutland), Vermont movie director David Giancola, among others. Ò I always remember the time Jo Ann Castle visited here,Ó Valenti adds. Ò She is a fabulous honky tonk piano player. Old timers will remember her from the Lawrence Welk Show.Ó While predating the dinerÕ s days, Valenti also remembers stories about when future TV comedian Red Skelton was in town. Skelton, who performed in his early years in Montreal, was a visitor to Vermont. Some fans believe the comicÕ s classic Ò Doughnuts DunkersÓ routineÑ which he later performed with his wife on stageÑ was inspired by visits to DellveneriÕ s Bakery on Terrill Street in Rutland. There, Skelton first observed the humor of how different people selected and ate their doughnuts. Celebrities aside, the Midway Diner & Steakhouse staff arenÕ t ones for boasting, but they are justifiably proud of sticking to the mission many restaurants have forgottenÑ good food, good serviceÑ great prices.

More jobs, fewer Vermonters working From News Reports WASHINGTON, D.C. Ñ Two regular monthly surveys by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics continue to send mixed signals about VermontÕ s employment picture. The survey of employers shows a slow but steady rise in the number of non-farm payroll jobs over the last 12 months. But in the monthly survey of households, fewer Vermonters say they are employedÑ working either for themselves or someone else. In February, employers added 1,300 jobs, but 1,000 fewer people said they were working. For the last couple of years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has tracked jobs in businesses that primarily produce goods and services that help the environment and conserve resources. Ò GreenÓ industries comprise, for example, manufacturers that use recycled materials and businesses involved in renewable energy. New figures show the Green Mountain State is third nationally in the percentage of green jobs. In 2011 just over 12,000 jobsÑ 4.1 percent of VermontÕ s total non-farm payroll jobsÑ were green. VermontersÕ total personal income reached $27 billion in 2012. Personal income is all of the money individuals receive, including tax-exempt dividends, transfer payments, and other income that may not appear on income tax forms. ThatÕ s why personal income, calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, is greater than VermontersÕ adjusted gross income, reported by the Internal Revenue Service. Personal income dropped during the recession but has been growing since 2009. Compound average annual income growth over the last 10 years was 3.8 percent.
RUTLAND CRIME Ñ RutlandÕ s crime wave is the hot topic of PEG-TVÕ s Ò InsightÓ public affairs program.

The pair also talk about Neighborhood Watch issues. Ò InsightÓ airs on Saturday at 9 p.m., Monday at 6 p.m., Wednesday at 10 a.m., and Thursday at 9:30 p.m.. The show is available also on video on at www.PEGTV.com.
