Man breaks into police station
DOWN & DIRTY
By Gail Callahan
gail4kidsire@burlingtontelecom.net SHELBURNE Ñ Call it a case of mistaken identity. Shelburne Police officials said that John Dettor, 59, of Washington, D.C., broke into the law-enforcement building last week during night-time hours. Dettor told authorities he thought he was looking for a warm place to spend the night and that he thought he was breaking into a school. He also added he soon realized the structure was a police station. According to the Shelburne P.D., one emergency dispatcher and a lone police officer were in the building when they heard the sound of glass breaking. A patrol officer was notified about the sound and checked the perimeter of the building. At the time, the officer found Dettor hiding in a bush. Dettor exited his hiding place, admitting he broke the window, thinking it was a school, the Shelburne P.D. reported. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Large solar project planned for New Haven NEW HAVEN Ñ At the New Haven Select Board meeting Sept. 16, board members and the public learned of a large-scale solar power project planned for the town. According to Select Board member Douglas Tolles, Ò The new facilities being discussed will each be 2.25 times larger. Each one will cover approximately 40 acres and contain about 30,000 solar panels.Ó Last Tuesday, a representative from groSolar presented to the Board plans for two, massive solar-electricity generating facilities that the company would like to construct in town. Ò Counting those two, we are faced with another 10 being proposed in New Haven,Ó said Tolles. Ò A number of those 10 are in various stages of permitting with the Public Service Board. There may well be more being planned that we are not yet aware of.Ó Tolles had encouraged town residents to attend the meeting last week to get a sense of size of the two new projects being discussed. Ò The existing Cross Pollination facility generates 2.2 MW of power on 15 acres,Ó he noted. Ò You can see this one on the west side of Route 7 north of the Junction.Ó Tolles said eight additional plants are under consideration are all smaller than the project discussed last week, but considerably larger than small, residential installations. The Vermont company groSolar provided services for this solar project for the Burlington, Vermont School District. The company is now planning a large-scale solar power project in New Haven.

1,000-plus Vermonters on Climate March
NEW YORK CITY Ñ Over 1,000 Vermonters who are concerned about climate change attended the PeopleÕ s Climate March in New York City Sept. 21. The Vermont activists are advocating for clean energy production, stopping the fracked gas pipeline, rejecting the Northeast Kingdom tar sands pipeline, and divesting from fossils fuel corporations. On Sept. 23, the United Nations met to discuss global commitments on climate change. A diverse coalition of Vermont organizations, grassroots community leaders, student groups, and faith organizations collaborated to bring 22 busloads of Vermonters to New York City for the march. Other Vermonters traveled by carpool, train, and bicycle. VermontÕ s efforts were led by politically left-leaning groups such as 350 Vermont, the Sierra Club, the Vermont Natural Resources Council, the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, Post Oil Solutions, and numerous other Vermont grassroots community based organizations and leaders. Nationally, over 1,400 different organizations marched together to show both solidarity, and to call on the United Nations to take more significant action to curb carbon pollution. Ben and JerryÕ s provided eight buses to bring Vermonters to Manhattan Island for the march. After these buses rapidly filled, donations from the Vermont Chapter of the Sierra Club, private donors, and numerous small donations help to subsidize an additional nine buses. Several other groups organized another five buses, for a total of 22 Vermont buses.

Use caution when cleaning rodent infested areas By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com BURLINGTON Ñ The Health Department is reminding Vermonters to use caution when cleaning up rodent infested areas after an out-of-state resident recently contracted Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome while visiting Vermont. The person who became ill was most likely exposed to rodent droppings while cleaning up a seasonal home in August and has since recovered from the disease. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is a serious respiratory disease caused by an infection with a type of hantavirus. Symptoms include fatigue, fever, headaches, muscle aches, dizziness and chills followed by coughing and shortness of breath. Approximately one-third of people who have Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome die from the disease. Most hantavirus infections occur in the western part of the U.S., but sporadic cases have been reported in the northeast. The Health Department recorded one other hantavirus case in 2000.
Most people are infected by breathing in dust contaminated with rodent droppings, urine, saliva or nesting materials. Sweeping or vacuuming stirs up contaminated dust and can put people at risk for hantavirus. Rodent infestation in and around the home is considered the primary risk for hantavirus. The best way to reduce the risk of contracting HPS is to prevent rodents from entering your home by sealing up any holes inside and outside of the house, setting traps and properly storing any food. People should be particularly careful when first opening up a seasonal cabin or trailer. If evidence of a rodent infestation is found, the Health Department recommends the following easy steps to clean up safely: á Air out the area by opening nearby windows for at least 30 minutes. á Do not sweep or vacuum up any droppings, urine or nesting material. Instead spray the materials and surrounding area with a mix of 10 parts water and one part bleach. Let it soak for at least five minutes.
Crime spree at local hiking areas NEW HAVEN Ñ Vermont State Police at New Haven have received multiple reports from victims of car break-ins at local hiking trailheads. Two victims with cars parked at the Robert Frost Trailhead told the VSP that wallets, purses and cell phones have been taken. Break-ins have also occurred at the Falls of Lana parking lot and at the Branberry State Park in Salisbury. Vermont State Police encourage anyone with information to reach out to local troopers (802-388-4919) and remind community members that leaving valuables in your vehicle is never a good idea. Patrols have been increased in the area during target hours and several investigations are under way.

From the Editor
Remembering the Lusitania T
his year began a four-year-long centennial observation of World War IÑt he War to End All Wars. ÒW ar may be hell,Ó they say, but World War I was a kind of hell few of us can imagine today. Of course, we know that the Great War, as it was known prior to World War II, didnÕ t end war. In fact, World War I helped streamline and modernize warfare; it turned it into a terrible kind of faceless, bruteforce technological killing machine. Many of the technological innovationsÑi f one can call the killing machines of war Òi nnovationsÓÑo f the first Great War are still with us: Long-range guns, heavy artillery shells, hand grenades, massive conventional mine explosives, poison gas, flamethrowers, white phosphorus bombs, tanks, aerial bombers and fighters as well as surveillance planes—to name a few. You can trace GermanyÕ s great Paris Gun of World War I to the development in the 1980sÑb y IraqÕ s Saddam Hussein in connection with CanadaÕ s dark engineering genius Gerald BullÑo f a supergun capable of lofting a powerful explosive shell to earth via a 100-mile-high suborbital trajectory. Strangely, some components of BullÕ s weird space gun were tested on 6,000 isolated acres in remote North Troy, Vt. Remains of that nefarious operation can be seen in the Vermont woods today. The first drone aircraft, with mixed results, were tested in World War I. And the technological path was set in stone. Today, drone aircraft in war are becoming commonplace. No doubt, like chemical weapons, the technology will spread; some day, our enemies will have drones as good, or better, than ours. During a recent church service I attended in Pennsylvania, a young monsignor gave a rousing sermon about the centennial of the Great War and its evils. He urged the Catholic congregation, 100 years on, to have the courage to speak out against war and the evils of guns and government lies. As an example, the monsignor cited how the RMS Lusitania, a British flag passenger vessel and nicknamed Ò Lucy,Ó was torpedoed in May 1915 as it was carrying tons or heavy combat armaments under cover of an empty (sic) passenger ship. To further compound a mash-up of facts, the monsignor claimed that the sinking of the Lusitania started World War I. He also noted that the U.S. Government lied about the empty passenger ship being used as a Òf rontÓ for bringing guns and shells to the British. Never once did the monsignor mention German submarine terrorism on the high seas and the sinking of unarmed passenger ships like the Lusitiania. Like many folks today, the monsignor displayed a high level of ignorance about the causes and action of World War I as well as the sinking of the Lusitania. I wondered if anyone else in the pews knew or cared about these errors?
September 27, 2014
The Lusitania was carrying nearly 2,000 passengers (it was far from empty). To be sure, the Lusitania carried a documented 4,200 cases of Òs mall caliberÓ guns, empty shells, and unloaded fuses. Hedgehog mines were found later by divers on the seafloor near the wreck—but its manifest was hardly that of a munitions ship. Regardless, I suppose a belligerent nation like Germany would consider such a vessel a military target, but what about the collateral damageÑu narmed passengers? The high price of war, I suppose. While the Lusitania may have propelled the U.S. to join the Allies in Europe during World War I, it did not start the war. The war started during the summer of 1914 and it did so quicklyÑi t erupted following the assassination in Sarajevo of Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand. Some of the participants, bound by various mutual-aid pacts, had been itching for a fight since the 1870s. The first global war raged for four years and ended Nov. 11, 1918. Over 1,198 passengers died on the Lusitania following its torpedoing by the German U-20 submarine on May 7, 1915; only 761 survived. And among the dead were 128 Americans. Unlike the sinking of the RMS Titanic three years earlier, death came quickly for the doomed among the LusitaniaÕ s crew and passengers. The ship filled up with cold seawater rapidy and sank in less than 18 minutes. Among the famous Americans who drowned during the sinking of the Lusitania were Alfred Vanderbilt, multimillionaire, Charles Frohman, greatest theatrical producer of his time, and the New Agestyle sage Elbert Hubbard. The anti-war Hubbard was a writer, artist, and leader of the Roycroft arts movement in western New York. His plan was to cross on the ÒL ucyÓ and get an audience with Kaiser Wilhelm to discuss the war and perhaps plead with the last German emperor to end the horrendous fighting on four fronts. But on the warm, drizzly morning of May 1, 1915, in New York CityÑw hile standing on the deck of the Lusitania the day she sailed on her final, fatal voyageÑH ubbard was interviewed by a local newspaper reporter about his personal mission and the possible danger of submarine attack enroute. ÒI would not mind if they did sink the ship,Ó the doomed sage joked. ÒI t might be a good thing for me. I would drown with her and thatÕ s the only way I could succeed in my ambition to get into the Hall of Fame. IÕ d be a regular hero and go right to the bottom.Ó After a pause, he added, ÒI shall make no effort to get into the lifeboats unless there is spare room.Ó Hubbard drowned, arm-in-arm, with his wife Alice seven days later as the Lusitania went down off the Irish coast. A crueler joke in history has never been played on such a genteel husband and his loving wife. Lou Varricchio, Vermont Eagle

Candidate Column
Candidate for Attorney General Ò Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.Ó Ñ H.L. Mencken My name is Shane McCormack and I am the Republican candidate for Vermont Attorney General. William Sorrell, VermontÕ s attorney general since 1997, does not like menthol cigarettes. Mr. Sorrell does not like the fact that you might like menthol cigarettes, and thinks that adults like you should not be allowed to smoke them. Ever. William Sorrell does not like tutti-frutti, watermelon and most other flavorings in e-cigarettes. Apparently, it greatly bothers Mr. Sorrell that you might like tutti-frutti, watermelon and other flavors. Mr. Sorrell thinks that you should not be allowed to legally indulge your tutti-frutti fix. Mr. Sorrell advocates, on behalf of the State of Vermont, to have these products banned by the feds. William Sorrell does not like sugary beverages. He thinks you should pay a tax if you like to drink sugar-sweetened sodas and other drinks. I suspect that it would greatly disappoint Mr. Sorrell if you choose Coke over Diet Coke with your lunch today. He wants to make sure that you pay the State if you make the wrong decision. Mr. Sorrell, of course, is ultimately bothered by the fact that you do not know what is best for you. He believes that he knows what is best for you, and he is prepared to use the power of the State to coerce you into doing what he thinks is best. DonÕ t be upsetÑ itÕ s for your own good, after all. Although I am Mr. SorrellÕ s Republican opponent in the upcoming attorney general election, I am not wholly opposed to Mr. SorrellÕ s sympathies on many of these issues (and, of course, I have no objection to taking all necessary actions to limit the access of children to tobacco products). Like Mr. Sorrell, I, too, suspect that youÕ d be better off not smoking cigarettes, not vaping watermelon flavored nicotine and not downing a two liter bottle of Pepsi to accompany your Twinkie dinner. More importantly, though, I know that youÕ d be better off if you did not pay and employ people like Mr. Sorrell to advocate for your
infantilization and push for a new mini-prohibition whenever the spirit (or the political winds) move them. Putting aside, for the moment, the almost farcical quality of using governmental resources to combat menthol (of all things) when the State is in the midst of an opiate addiction epidemic, I am left wondering what we will be paying Mr. Sorrell to object to (presumably on health grounds) in the future. If reelected, will his medical instincts lead him to ferret out the evils in pinot noir, caffeinated energy drinks or fatty cheeses? How much staff time will be spent saving us from the candy aisle in the grocery store lest a collective sweet tooth doom us all without Mr. SorrellÕ s intervention? I suppose, though, that we must give Mr. Sorrell his due on marijuana. In the midst of a challenge by T.J. Donovan for the Democratic nomination in 2012, he announced his new-found support for the decriminalization of marijuana possession, a policy with which I agree. I do not know whether anyone has ever concocted a menthol flavored joint, but I would enjoy hearing Mr. SorrellÕ s thoughts on the matter. IÕ ve always thought Mencken got the definition of puritanism close, but not quite right. I think puritanism is better thought of as the Ò haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be having a good timeÓ rather than someone being Ò happy.Ó William Sorrell, IÕ m sure, truly wants you to be happy, and he thinks he knows how to make you happy, in part by protecting you from all the bad things that you, as an adult, may choose to spend your time doing. I prefer my adulterated Mencken quote and, frankly, an adulterated world, where adults are treated like adults when it comes to these soft vices. With respect to menthol cigarettes, sweets or e-cigs, I say go ahead and have a good time if youÕ re an adult and youÕ re prepared to accept the consequences. I wonÕ t try to stop you.

Letters to the Editor
No say & no respect
To the editor: The VPSB recognized the adverse impact that SunCommonsÕ proposed commercial community solar array (CSA) will have on us at our property on Dog Team RoadÑ however, they issued a Certificate of Public Good (CPG) for the proposal. Our Vermont State Legislature defeated a bill (spring 2014), a bill that would give towns more input in sighting solar projects. This new law puts us at the mercy of SunCommon (a for profit company) as it is settled law that proceedings under 30 V.S.A. & 248 relate only to the issue of public good, not the interests of private landowners involved. VPSB discussion and conclusion included following (CPG NM-4188) They recognize that the impact of the project from the immediate neighboring property (our home) will be adverse. They acknowledge that the proposed 150 kW AC net metering Project is not of residential scale. They mentioned the proposed Project introduces 624 solar photovoltaic panels, a racking system, 7 inverters, and related infrastructure into an existing field and stated the proposed project will have an adverse impact on aesthetics. VPSB recognized our concerns, but they cannot help us with our concerns. Our concern is for the valuation of our property so close to a commercial photovoltaic electric power system. The view from inside our home will be changed drastically. We built our home where we did because we felt it added to the value of our home. Empathy for what we feel is a raw deal can only be made by gaining an understanding of our position and viewing the proposed site from inside our home. We feel this proposed CSA will be intrusive, will take away the view we treasure and that it will reach deep into our investment in our home. Common sense in sighting projects is important for the future of support by the people. We support renewable energy with responsibility. Respect for the individual within a community is part of what we consider a democracy. We have no say. Jess Whitney & Dale Hastings New Haven
Solar arrays
To the editor: I was surprised to read the Eagle editorÕ s most recent opinion rebuking the new community solar array planned for New Haven and questioning the whole idea of local, small-scale energy generation. His opinion seems out of touch with the majority of Vermonters. A recent statewide poll by conducted by Castleton Institute indicates that 9 out of 10 Vermonters are in favor of Vermont changing our energy system, moving away from fossil fuels and relying more on renewables and efficiency. Striving for 90 percent by 2050 is not just Ò MontpelierÕ s energy dreamÓ as the editor claims: it is VermontÕ s Comprehensive Energy Plan goal that a strong majority of Vermont residents support and believe it is realistic. In fact, 73% believe time is important and we should make this transition as quickly as possible. Maybe these Vermonters view transitioning our energy system as an opportunity, not a threat. The new community solar farms, like the one SunCommon has planned for Dog Team Road, offer a fantastic opportunity for individual Vermonters to actively participate in a project that: •generates electricity that is affordable, reliable and clean; •reduces our dependence on fossil fuels; •increases our energy independence; •creates jobs in Vermont; •ensures we leave a positive legacy for the next generation. I applaud SunCommon for creating another entry point for Vermonters to go solar. And I am proud of VermontÕ s leaders for creating an energy plan that reflects so many of VermonterÕ s values and priorities. So while the editor may view these solar farms/power plants as eyesores, I know many more Vermonters who view them as part of our new working landscape, a symbol of hope and a sign that we are embracing the opportunity to build a better energy future and a brighter Vermont. Wendy McArdle Bristol, Vt.

Richard Goode to perform MIDDLEBURY Ñ Pianist Richard Goode, who has won worldwide acclaim for his interpretations of the classical masterworks, will return to the Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall on Oct. 5 to play a program including Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, and Schumann. Goode is a Middlebury audience favorite, having performed beautifully-received concerts on campus in both 2004 and 2010. This time, he will perform on MiddleburyÕ s new Steinway concert grand piano, which he helped select for the College last year, at SteinwayÕ s factory in Astoria, N.Y. Goode is one of todayÕ s leading interpreters of classical and romantic music. He has been hailed worldwide for music-making of tremendous emotional power, depth, and expressiveness. In regular performances with major orchestras, recitals in the worldÕ s music capitals, and through his extensive and acclaimed recordings on the Nonesuch label, he has won a large and devoted following. Gramophone magazine recently captured the essence of what makes Goode such an original and compelling artist: Ò Every time we hear him, he impresses us as better than we remembered, surprising us, surpassing our expectations and communicating perceptions that stay in the mind.Ó The 2014Ð 15 season is a full and impressive one for Goode, bringing him to Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival, five appearances at Carnegie Hall, appearances as a soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Los Angeles Philharmonic, and to chamber music concerts with young artists from Marlboro Music Festival. He will perform at some of the most prestigious organizations in the world this year, including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall in London, the Celebrity Series of Boston, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Spivey Hall in Atlanta, Yale School of Music, Dartmouth College, Duke Performances, Middlebury College, and in other major concert series in the U.S. and Europe. Goode records exclusively for the Nonesuch label, with more than two-dozen recordings over the years, ranging from solo and chamber works to lieder and concertos. His latest recording of the five Beethoven concertos with the Budapest Festival Orchestra was released to exceptional critical acclaim, described as Ò a landmark recordingÓ by the Financial Times and nominated for a Grammy award. His 10 C.D. set of the complete Beethoven sonatas cycle—the first-ever by an American-born pianist—was earned a Grammy nomination and has been ranked among the most distinguished recordings of this repertoire. Adding to his history of performances at Middlebury, Goode enjoys a long-standing connection with Vermont. Together with fellow world-class pianist Mitsuko Uchida, Goode served as coartistic director of the Marlboro Music School and Festival in Marlboro, Vermont from 1999 through 2013. His first brush with Marlboro began when he was only 14; over the 28 summers he has spent there since, he has made a notable contribution to this

Hikers to explore Hubbarton military road By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com ORWELL Ñ Right in our own backyard is an historic 18th-century byway that helped, in no small way, to turn the tide of battle and help create the United States of America. Once dubbed the Ò RebelsÕ RoadÓ by some British Army officers, the Mount Independence-Hubbardton Military Road was constructed during the Revolutionary War years of 1776 and 1777. Sometimes visible, sometimes lost among woodlands and meadow, the 35-mile-long road passes through Addison County and Rutland CountyÑ from Orwell to Hubbardton. It is an ancient road that deserves not only more attentionÑ but more efforts to explore it and preserve. According to Steve Zeoli, president of the Mt. Independence Coalition, Ò The Mount Independence-Hubbardton Military Road provided a lifeline for the American troops stationed on Mount Independence during the harsh winter months of 1776-77. And in July 1777, the road through the wilderness was the scene of a desperate retreat by the American army, and
a fierce engagement between the rear guard of that army and pursuing British forces at the Battle of Hubbardton. The troops who successfully escaped over the military road formed the core of the army that fought the British to a stalemate at Saratoga, and forced British Gen. John Burgoyne to surrender his troops, the event that turned the tide of the Revolutionary War.Ó To further uncover the secrets of this military road of mysteryÑ for there is no one living to tell us first hand of its construction and its exact routeÑ a hiking tour of sections of the Mount Independence-Hubbardton Military Road will take place Sunday, Sept. 28 at 2 p.m. Tour leader and military road expert Carl Fuller will introduce participants to Hubbardton section of the road. The public is invited to gather at the Hubbardton Battlefield State Historic Site. The hikers will depart from the Hubbardton Battlefield. Also joining Fuller and the public will be members of the Friends of the Hubbardton Road, an organization formed recently to help preserve and bring awareness to the historic byway. Members of this group helped write the new Wikipedia entry on the road to help mark its place in one of the worldÕ s most popularÑ and at times controversialÑ online encyclope-

dic reference sources. Ò The Mount Independence-Hubbardton Military Road was built after the Sept. 7, 1776, order of Gen. Horatio Gates to connect the American Revolutionary War fortification being constructed at Mount Independence on Lake Champlain to Hubbardton and Rutland... and Fort No. 4 in New Hampshire,Ó according to the FriendsÕ new Wiki entry. Ò Gates considered the road Ô so Essential to the Interest of the United StatesÕ and Ô the safety and protection of the inhabitants of all the Middle States of this Union.Õ After the war, this supply road was abandoned by the military and became farmland and forest. Although most of the route is known, local historians continue to study maps and terrain seeking to understand obscure details.Ó
According to Zeoli, the best known account of the history of the military road was written by the late, local historian Joseph Wheeler of Benson. In 1945, he set out to discover all he could about the military road. Then, in 1968, he published a book about the road. The Castleton Free Library will soon upload the complete Wheeler book online. On Oct. 12, another military road hike will start at the Hubbardton Battlefield at 1 p.m., and will explore the Mount Independence section. The hiking fee is $3 for adults, free for children under 15, and includes admission to the Hubbardton Battlefield museum. Call 802-2732282 for more information.

Bohne seeks to mend CCTA rifts lou@addison-eagle.com SHELBURNE — When Paul Bohne’s started to field telephone calls from a handful of Chittenden County Transit Authority Board members, he knew he couldnÕ t resist the challenge of re-shaping the company. Ò I got calls from some board members,Ó said Bohne, from company headquarters in Burlington. Ò I was asked to help and I said, Ô yes.Õ Ó Bohne, who retired from his post as Shelburne Town Manager earlier this year, agreed to accept a six-month position as interim general manager of CCTA, staring Aug. 1. He is earning a pro-rated salary of $115,000. If he remains in the position for six months, Bohne said he would receive half of that amount. Bohne mentioned the organization hopes to name a new head by the start of the new year. The first round of interviews with candidates are slated to begin Sept. 29. More than 60 people applied for the post, Bohne said, noting he anticipates helping through some portion of the transition once a new general manager signs on. Ò WeÕ ll well under way,Ó he added.

Since coming on board to work for the company, Bohne pointed out his top priority is to strengthen management-employee bondswhich he called Ò rockyÓ - damaged during the divisive strike.

Shumlin announces appointments to nuclear panel MONTPELIER Ă? Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) announced the appointment of six members to the Nuclear Decommissioning Citizens Advisory Panel last week.
Shumlin appointed Kate OĂ• Connor of Brattleboro to a four-year term, and Martin Langeveld of Vernon to a three-year term. John Campbell appointed James P. (Jim) Mat-
teau of Westminster to a four-year term, and James M. (Jim) Tonkovich of Wilder to a threeyear term Shap Smith appointed David L. Deen of Putney to a four-year term and Derrik Jordan, also of Putney, to a three-year term. The 19 member Nuclear Decommissioning Citizens Advisory Panel (NDCAP) was established in Act 178 this past legislative session replacing the seven member Vermont State Nuclear Advisory Panel (VSNAP) that had been in place since the sale of Vermont Yankee to Entergy in 2002. The new panel added six citizen members,
two each to be appointed by the Governor, the Senate Pro-Tem and the House Speaker. With Vermont Yankee closing by the end of this year, the legislature and governor believed an advisory panel with more citizen representation that focused squarely on decommissioning and restoration issues facing Vermont Yankee would be helpful in ensuring timely and relevant information is gathered and shared with the local and state communities. The first meeting of the newly constituted panel will be held on Sept. 25, at Brattleboro Union High School.

Todd Stone repeats as Modified champ By Justin St. Louis
WEST HAVEN Ð DevilÕ s Bowl Speedway crowned its 2014 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series champions during a busy and picturesque Sunday afternoon at the Mekkelsen RV Vermont 200 Championship Weekend. Todd Stone and Robert Gordon became two-time champions on the asphalt, while Jamie Fisher and Chuck Bradford each celebrated their first titles. The headline Bond Auto Parts Modified division ran two 50lap feature races to close its season, and saw very different outcomes. Former track champion Ron Proctor, 62, led wire-to-wire to win the opening race, while 19 year-old Jessey Mueller took the the second event. A Charlton, N.Y., veteran. Proctor outdistanced a torrid threeway battle for the runner-up spot during his run. Leon Gonyo, after blowing his primary engine in practice on Saturday morning, squeaked out the position ahead of Mueller and Stone, with Canadian Patrice McGrail fifth. Mueller, of Olmstedville, N.Y., broke free from the pack in the second race and collected his fourth DevilÕ s Bowl victory of the season and 10th overall at tracks across the northeast. Nick Heywood finished second to help pad his lead in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series national rookie standings. Joey Roberts finished third ahead of Stone and Gonyo. Stone’s pair of fourth-place finishes were enough to collect his second consecutive DevilÕ s Bowl and NASCAR Vermont State championships. The Middlebury, VT driver beat Gonyo by 40
points (938-898) to win the track championship title, and won the NASCAR state title over Roberts by an unofficial margin of 12 markers (392-380). Billy Lussier of Fair Haven clinched the DevilÕ s Bowl Speedway Rookie of the Year title, and Jason Durgan of Morrisonville, N.Y., took rookie honors in the NASCAR Vermont standings. Both 50-lap feature races also counted toward the Northern Modified Challenge Series championship, where Mueller holds a 22-point lead on Gonyo (334-312) entering the 100-lap series finale on the new infield dirt track at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Saturday, Oct. 18. Trampas Demers of South Burlington earned his first-ever Devil’s Bowl Speedway victory in the 100-lap finale for the Late Model division and the four-race Vermont State Late Model Championship Series. Demers took the lead from Rich Lowrey, Jr. at lap 23 and cruised for much of the race, but held off a furious charge by Brandon Atkins, Bobby Therrien, and Nick Sweet over the final 10 laps. Therrien muscled his way underneath Demers in the final corner, but fell about six feet shy at the finish line. Sweet, of Barre finished third to wrap up his second Vermont State Championship. Atkins was fourth with Lance Allen fifth. Point leader Jamie Fisher of Shelburne struggled to a 12th place finish, but was fortunate to have his championship rivals Ð Josh Masterson and Emily Packard Ð suffer a similar fate. Packard was the best of the trio with a 10th-place finish, followed by Masterson in 11th, but Fisher held on to win the track title by 11 points. Masterson took second overall in a tie-breaker, based on

Addison County gears up for Tour de Farms cycle event SHOREHAM Ñ Delicious food, delightful bicycling, and spectacular scenery are in store for all who participate in the 7th Annual Tour de Farms! Scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 21 in Shoreham. The Tour de Farms offers two loop rides (10 and 30 miles). At frequent designated stops, family farmers will treat bicyclists to tasty samples of local foods such as cheese curds, fresh apples, hard and sweet cider, meatballs and much more. Because the event is a tour and not a race, the pace is low key, allowing ample time to chat with farmers and relax with friends in the beautiful Champlain Valley. This yearÕ s Tour is sponsored by EarlÕ s Cyclery & Fitness, VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations, Shelburne Farms, City Market, Healthy Living Market & Cafe, Ingrid Punderson Jackson Real Estate, Langrock Sperry & Wool, Merchants Bank, and AARP. Over 700 bicyclists from Vermont, the northeastern states, and Canada are expected to attend. The Tour de Farms is co-organized by the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN) and the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition and is a fundraiser for both nonprofit groups. Each year, the Tour is enhanced by the addition of new features, such as burgers from local, grass-fed animals and a stop at a quirky art gallery. This year, participants can expect to sample from Windfall Orchard, Champlain Orchards, Doolittle Farm, Golden Russet Farm, Sunrise Bakery, Lazy Dog Farm, Daona Farm, and new farms include LaDuc Acres and Shacksbury Cider.
Those not interested in bicycling may wish to consider volunteering. Volunteers are needed to assist with various aspects of the Tour de Farms, including registration, parking, farmersÕ helpers, sign set up, and ride marshalling. In return for a three-hour time commitment, volunteers will be entered into a raffle to win various prizes including gift certificates from the Farmhouse Group of restaurants and the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op, Terry bicycle saddles, and Louis Garneau bicycle helmets. Those who volunteer well in advance of the event are more likely to secure assignments of personal interest. Advance registration fees for the Tour de Farms are $35 for adults and $18 for kids 16 and under. Day-of registration fees are $50 for adults and $25 for kids 16 and under. Children in trailers and bike seats ride free and donÕ t need to be registered. Advance registration is now open at www. acornvt.org and stays open until 5:00 p.m. on September 15. The Tour de Farms will be held rain or shine. All routes begin and end at the Shoreham Town Green. On-site, day-of registration runs from 9 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 21.

Benefit Tractor Pull event in Addison included Thurston songs By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com
ADDISON Ñ Truck and tractor pullers from Vermont and New York came together at the Addison County Fair & Filed Days Fairgrounds, Sept. 19-20, for the Ninth Annual Addison County Benefit Pull. Popular performer Jamie Lee Thurston concluded the pull Saturday night with an opening act starting at 7:30 p.m. The focus was family fun at a good price and all for charity. Pulling started at 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday. Each year the pull raises money for Vermont families who have suffered loss, injury or illness. With more than six families considered, several with small children, this yearÕ s need was greater than ever. The ACBP has been able to help 40 families and has raised over $200,000 over the past eight years. Each year with the help of many generous sponsors and pullers, the Addison County Benefit Pull is able to present a significant amount of money to Vermont families who have had a loss or are facing challenges and are in need of financial support. The benefit pull was established by Jason and Tim Van De Weert and Danielle Dragon after they lost Ken Van De Weert to a long battle with ALS commonly known as Lou GerhigÕ s Disease. Through their experience with his illness, they learned how truly giving a small community can be. Some Addison County residents put on a successful fundraiser and anonymously presented the money to KenÕ s family. The money was enough to ease some of the struggles the family was going through and assisted Ken in becoming more independent as his life was coming to an end. The local Lions Club sold food and beverages and a portion of those proceeds went to the cause.

she drop the gun and come up the driveway to speak with law enforcement. The son continually pleaded with his mother to drop the gun. Law enforcement officers established visual contact with LaBossiere; who was seen approaching the end of the driveway waving a large handgun. Troopers repeatedly commanded LaBossiere to drop the weapon. LaBossiere continued to advance refusing to comply with repeated verbal commands from officers. The trooper, fearing imminent danger of bodily harm for him and other officers, discharged his duty weapon once, striking LaBossiere. LaBossiere was secured by law enforcement. A staged ambulance was dispatched; and Labossiere was transported to FAHC in Burlington. Believing that Michaud was injured at the residence, law enforcement began down the driveway; securing the scene, along the way. Upon approach of the residence, a third individual was located. The adult male complied with commands from officers, was temporarily detained and identified. Officers then discovered Michaud lying on the ground outside the residence with a head injury from an apparent gun shot. The second staged ambulance transported Michaud to FAHC in Burlington. Detectives continue to investigate the incident in cooperation with the Addison County State’s Attorney’s Office, as well as the Attorney General’s Office. Both injured parties continue to receive medical treatment for gunshot wounds sustained during the incident. The trooper was immediately placed on administrative leave, with pay, per policy. Responding law enforcement officers, responding to this incident, were uninjured.
Ò The tax revenue these facilities will generate will be a pittance, thanks to legislation passed by the legislature this year, Ò Tolles said. Ò The Town of New Haven has little, if any, direct control over these facilities. It is worth noting that the two new massive facilities being planned are over 16 times larger than recommended by the town plan. But, the New Haven Select Board and Planning Commission can intervene with the Public Service Board to protect the interest of our town.Ó A proposed SunCommons solar project located at 1195 Dog Team Rd. in New Haven has prompted protests from neighbors Dale Hastings and Jess Whitney. Ò All of the locals serving on the planning board, selectmen, even Rep. Harvey Smith, have told us they are left out of the (solar array project planning) processÑ the proposal is sent to the planning board, just like it was sent to us,Ó Hastings said. “Local officials seem especially frustrated with the process; they have no say. This is so sad that our local community is being reduced to no governing over these kinds of projects.Ó
NEW HAVEN Ñ On Sept. 21, Vermont State Police responded to the Addison County Fair & Field Days fairgrounds for an assault call. When troopers arrived it was discovered that the victim, Joshua Bird, 35, of Franklin, had been taken by ambulance to Fletcher Allen Hospital with a severe head injury. VSP told the Eagle that after a brief struggle, Nicholas Thomann, 26,of Ferrisburgh tried to restrain Joshua Bird and body slammed him into the ground. The body slam knocked Bird out and caused other head injuries. A citizen in the crowd was an EMT and started to administer aid to Bird, immediately. Bird was taken to Fletcher Allen and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit for observation. Thomann was cited to appear in Addison County Court at a later date for aggravated assault.

SALISBURY Ñ On Aug. 23, at 3 p.m., Vermont State Police conducted a traffic stop for speeding on U.S. Route 7 in Salisbury.
