MoNKtoN Ñ A report released Monday from a Chicago-based accounting group says Vermont’s real financial debt has reached $3.2 billion. truth in AccountingÕ s sixth annual Financial state of the states report, which offers a full account of government assets and liabilities, shows state governments have accumulated a combined debt of $1.3 trillion, despite claiming to have balanced budgets. of the U.s. states covered in the report, Vermont is the 12th worst when it comes to debt-related taxpayer burden. The Green Mountain State has $7 billion in bills, but only $3.8 billion in available assets to pay those bills, leaving the state $3.2 billion in debt. When divided among the state’s taxpayers, the shortfall amounts to $14,300 of debt per person.

Local history

A Vermont road to the top of the world By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com Bristol Ñ if youÕ re a motorist on Vermont route 116 in Addison County, and wish to head east for other Vermont destinations, such as Waitsfield, Stowe or even Montpelier, today’s State Route 17 is the shortest distance between two geographic points, although itÕ s anything but a straight line. Be forewarned: Route 17’s all-smiles, top-down sportscar ride on a sunny summer’s day can turn into a 4x4 Hail Mary passage during a winter whiteout. the alpine highway starts in a narrow valley in Bristol and climbs over the steep front of the Green Mountain range. Along the way, the driver passes through forestland, meadows, and even a moose-frequented bogÑ while skirting steep cliffs with glimpses of deep ravines and roaring brooks below. Climbing up the mountain face from Bristol, turning northeast off of Route 116, two-lane Route 17 rises to Appalachian Gap then descends, in a series of switchbacks, to Mad river Glen and on to Route 100 in Waitsfield. The approximately 12-mile-long route over mountain terrain is a thrill to navigate in summer and autumn. Named the McCullough Turnpike after John G. McCullough (1835-1915)—a Republican governor of Vermont, both California and Vermont state legislator, and Bennington & ruland railway presidentÑ the road was started in 1933 during the height of the Great Depression. At that time, Vermont state Forester Perry Merrill enlisted unemployed Vermont men through the U.s. Civilian Conservation Corps. He spearheaded a project that began

hewing a roadway out of the Green Mountain wilderness. it would take 25 years before the road was completed over the mountains. the original leg of the turnpike started on the eastern slope of the mountain in 1933. The first phase of the plan was to connect route 100 with the Mad river Glen ski area to help promote the local economy. one of the lures for adventurous drivers in those early days of the turnpike was Mad river Glen. the Glen opened its now famous single chair lift on Dec. 11, 1948.

America’s sportscar: Getting there is half the fun By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com BRISTOL — The vintage year 1958 was a very good one for General Motors and its first generation Chevrolet Corvette sports car, the socalled C1 edition. The first “Vette” appeared as its iconic convertible edition in 1953 as a concept car, designed by pioneering Detroit engineer Harley Earl. Earl, the man who started the 1950s tail-fin craze, wanted a nimble, maneuverable car like its sailing ship namesake. ironically, the Corvette lacked fins defying even its creator’s pop cultural auto imprint. Car buff and collector Hugh Bargie of Vergennes was one of the centers of attention at last weekend’s 2015 edition of the Better L8 Than Never Car Show in Bristol, with his ’58 Corvette, painted in G.M. signet red. Ò You have to realize that this is 1950s auto technology,Ó Bargie said. Ò thereÕ s no power steering, no power brakes.Ó Does it matter that the car lacks todayÕ s geegaws? itÕ s a fantastic ride down t e highway defying todayÕ s domestic and import fleet. BargieÕ s classic car made its local debut at this year’s Bristol car show; last year it was a new Corvette. Ò this is not a show for contemporary cars even though entrants display new cars here,Ó he said. Ò i learned my lesson last year.Ó this year he brought his ’58. Despite lacking todayÕ s electronics and costly bells and whistles, the ’58 Corvette’s threespeed manual transmission, with a rumbling 238-horsepower V-8 gasoline engine, gets the job done and then some.

For a convertible two-seater, it oozes lots of sex appeal, riviera styling, and top-down fun. Ò the car began its ownership life in Montreal in 1958,” Bargie said. “All the manufacturer’s text for the car is printed in French which is pretty interesting. later, it was sold to man in New Hampshire, then sold to a person in Miami, Fla., then to a man in VermontÑ me.Ó Bargie purchased the car for $26,000 in 1985. He couldnÕ t guess at todayÕ s full value of the vehicle, but itÕ s no doubt stratospheric, worthy of a museum display all its own. Ò the upholstery, carpeting and other things are replacements,Ó he said. Ò only the instruments, dash cowling, and push-button radio are original.Ó Bargie is used to occasional comments by Baby Boomers about the 1960s television actiondrama series, “Route 66” which featured a first generation Vette in its early seasons. Ò i believe the first ‘Route 66’ Vette was a 1959 but this is very similar,Ó he said. the early series episodes featured a blue car even though it was filmed in black and white. It’s clear that Bargie finds his old-car passion satisfied by pampering his classic Corvette. Perhaps another, unidentified, Corvette owner summed up the sports car allure best on an online forum recently: Ò My Corvette and life philosophy are much the sameÑ the adventure getting there is more important than the final destination.Ó Pictured at right, top: Hugh Bargie of Vergennes enjoying the top down on his classic 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. At right: Painted in General Motors’ orange-cast Signet Red, Hugh Bargie’s 1958 Cherolet Corvette debuted at Bristol’s Better L8 Than Never Car Show.

News in Brief Demolition work out for rebid

MiDDlEBUrY Ñ Middlebury town Manager Kathleen ramsay has recommended that the townÕ s engineering services request for proposal (RFP) for the demolition of the current municipal building, and design of the park to replace it, be rebid, with the following changes: all bidders will be asked to submit a lump sum or not-to-exceed quote for the project, and the rFP will clarify the tasks for which the town and college will be responsible for in regard to the demolition of the building and the development of the park. the updated rFP is expected to go out within the next week and an award recommendation should be ready for the select BoardÕ s consideration in late october.

Hospice volunteer training classes planned

Town, gown meeting discussed

MiDDlEBUrY Ñ Middlebury select Board members Dean George and Susan Shashok said that first Quarterly Town and College Meeting with new Middlebury College President laurie Patton too place last month. it was noted that Patton shared some of the cCollegeÕ s guiding principles that will shape the design of the public park that will be developed on the current town offices site once the building is taken down in 2016. The college will schedule several public meetings to discuss the project.

Town officials discuss bike regulations MIDDLEBURY — On Sept. 14, Middlebury Select Board members laura Asermily and susan shashok reported their meeting between Police Chief thomas Hanley and local biking enthusiasts to discuss proposed revisions to the Middlebury ordinance for the regulation of Bicycles and skateboards. According to the board members, much of the meeting was devoted to a discussion about the extent to which bicycles should be permitted on downtown sidewalks and under what conditions. Another meeting with Hanley had been scheduled for the working group to walk through the downtown area to observe traffic and sidewalk conditions. Hanley has drafted a revision to the Middlebury ordinance

for the Regulation of Traffic Lights and Traffic Signs which incorporates new language addressing sharrows and their placement as traffic markings. Because the three streets designated as shared roads in the traffic digns ordinance are also listed as prohibited to bicycles in the bicycles ordinance, Hanley recommended that the two ordinances be considered together. Hanley planned to bring both ordinances before the Public safety Committee for review sometime last week. Asermily noted that MiddleburyÕ s work on these issues is happening at the same time that interest is growing in creating a regional council on bicycle safety; she anticipates close coordination with officials in Vergennes, New Haven and Bristol.

Food for thought

hirty seven years ago this weekend, i had the rare privilege of dining with the late, awardwinning science-fiction author, futurist, and biochemist Dr. Isaac Asimov (1920-1992). Jack and lottie robins of Allentown, Pa., arranged this oncein-a-lifetime engagement. Jack, a fellow sci-fi fan, lived a few blocks from me at the time of this, the most memorable dinner of my life. Knowing my passion for science fact and science fiction, Jack invited me, and a mutual friend and fan Dennis Kuhns, to break bread with Asimov, one of the major pillars of sci-fi’s Golden Age. Jack had been a member of the Futurians with Asimov, that iconic New York City group of 1930s science-fiction fans which included Asimov, Frederick Pohl, Damon Knight, James Blish, Cyril Kornbluth— to name a few. (In those days, Jack went by his birth surname Rubinson.) So, over the years, Jack maintained his friendship with Asimov. Although some Futurians never became popular writers, like Jack, many did. Jack—who like Asimov was also an accomplished scientist (an explosives chemist at trojan Powder Company)—saw his old pal once a year. In 1978, he invited Asimov to dine at his Allentown home. then, Jack and his wife Lottie called me with an invitation. Weeks passed and finally Saturday arrived; the great author arrived in town. there are a few details about the meeting that escape me 37 years on—such as what I was wearing, but so goes long-term memory storage. Yet many things remain sharp and fresh. For example, Asimov didn’t drive; a woman friend drove the author the 100 miles from New York City to Allentown. Lottie served roast-beef (which I remember). Jack, Lottie, Isaac, his friend, Dennis, and I exchanged pleasantries. Asimov loved to talk and joke about himselfÑ and why not? the great man was the author and editor of over 500 published books, from titles on physics and astronomy to science fiction and biblical history. During dinner i brought up an Asimov science article I had enjoyed reading; it was titled “How Far Will We Go in space?Ó i wondered if, when the author wrote it back in 1965, he had anticipated the rise of the unmanned interplanetary Mariners, Pioneers, Vikings, and Voyagers. He hadnÕ t, he admitted. Asimov had been commissioned in late 1965 to write the piece by the editors of the World Book Yearbook. He had been asked to forecast, Ò with the facts and capabilities at hand,Ó to project the future accomplishments and limits of

space exploration. Asimov was beginning to see that our exploration of the planetsÑ not with humans, as he and so many visionaries had supposed, but with robotsÑ was happening far faster than he had imagined. Ò A reasonable guess,Ó Asimov wrote in his yearbook piece, Ò is that by 2100, mankind will have explored our entire solar systemÉ He will have studied the sun from close rangeÉ Mankind will not have made any attempt to reach or colonize planets outside our solar system.Ó At the time of our meeting, the success of Project Apollo, ending just three years earlier with the U.s.Ussr Apollo-soyuz mission, had made crewed interplanetary flight look, well, easy. But the road to the stars was more complex than even Asimov had imagined. Politics, national priorities, and budgets seemed to get in the way of humans moving out into space. Ò After 2100,Ó Asimov concluded, Ò A long pause will be enforced on mankind. He will probably have gone as far as he can go without developing technical abilities far beyond what he will possess even then.Ó Asimov’s final forecast remains to be fulfilled: the year 2100 is far off. But here in 2015, we understand that humanity still has a long ladder to climb just to return astronauts to the Moon after a decades-long intermission. Lou Varricchio The Eagle

A call to faith

ast week America was blessed to host Pope Francis, one of the worldÕ s true holy men and leader of the roman Catholic Faith. three major cities played host to the Pope as he shared his vision for the country that has been so blessed. the Pope made it clear his visit was not about politics, as he artfully shared his message of love, joy, hope and forgiveness while inviting all to share the wonders of GodÕ s love and creation. this Pope expresses faith and love, not with Dan Alexander fire and brimstone but with understanding and wisdom. He has proven time and time again Thoughts from that he is just as comfortable with dignitaries Behind the Pressline as he is when he is interacting with everyday people. He made a significant statement by the common means of transportation he chose by his use of a simple Fiat hatchback versus the traditional limousines dignitaries typically use in motorcades. A former Jesuit Priest who many years ago took a vow of poverty, Francis is the embodiment of simple a man who, despite his appointment as Pope, sees the condition of humanity from a common manÕ s perspective. Francis also defines the word, ‘holy’. His invitation to faith was not just about the Catholic Church nor was it just a call for Catholics. Faith and the acceptance of a supreme being is not just about a building or a title. Faith is freedom to believe, to love and to share the abundant gifts weÕ ve all been given with those less fortunate. The Pope has encouraged people of all faiths, and no faith, to find common ground. He made it clear that his role is not that of a judge but rather a mere common man called by his lord to be sheppard to the people of this world. Ò in a world where various forms of modern tyranny seek to suppress religious freedom, or try to reduce it to a subculture without right to a voice in the public square, or to use religion as a pretext for hatred and brutality,Ó Francis said, Ò it is imperative that the followers of the various religions join their voices in calling for peace, tolerance and respect for the dignity and rights of others.Ó Ò We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible, as we educated new generations not to turn their back on our ‘neighbors’ and everything around us.Ó The Pope’s ambitious schedule which included many significant firsts, was highlighted by a closing Mass in Philadelphia attended by over one million people and seen by millions more digitally around the globe, as part of the World Meeting of Families. the Pope made in clear that the family is the future of the church and the cure for the turmoil in the world today. Ò All the love God has in himself, all the beauty and truth he has in himself, he gives it to the family. Family is really family when itÕ s able to open its arms and receive all that love. of course, itÕ s not quite earthly paradise. there are still problems. Men and women through the astuteness of the devil have learned, unfortunately, how to divide themselves. And all that love God gave, almost was lost. in a little period of time the first crime: the first instance of fratricide. A brother kills another brother Ð and war. love and beauty and truth, or war. Between them, we walk ahead. itÕ s up to us to choose. itÕ s up to us to decide which path we want to take forward.Ó A simple challenge from a simple, and humble man.

A tale of two supervisory unions Part 2: there is a path leading to surplus, there is a path leading to deficit: “I see the surplus question in somewhat simplistic terms. if there is a surplus, it must be booked as a revenue for the following year unless the electorate votes to apply the surplus, or a portion of it, to another purpose.”- June 14, 2013 opinion from Mark oettinger, former General Counsel for the Agency of Education. Vermont title 16 Education law requires public school boards to carry forward year-ending audit fund balance surpluses into the next year as revenue unless authorized by the voters (16 V.S.A. 567). The path of audit surpluses into budget preparation is easily traced within the Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU) annual reports. For example, the Union District No. 3 annual report (Middlebury High/ Middle schools) documented a $201,316.33 in the 2011 yearending excess revenue or fund balance. in compliance with Vermont law, Ò the school board shall carry the funds into the next year as revenueÉ ,Ó the 2011 $201,316.33 fund balance surplus was carried forward as revenue into the 2013 proposed budget and was available for the 2013 actual budget as expected. The Union District No. 3 did not carry forward the 2010 audit fund balance surplus. their annual report published “FY10 Fund Balance to Education Reserve - Voted 3-1-11”, staying in compliance with 16V.S.A. 567, “unless authorized by the votersÉ Ó . The Vergennes Union High School (VUHS) annual report proposed a 2011 $693,249 fund balance surplus for the 2013 budget revenue. Because the VUHs 2011 audit wasnÕ t completed until November 5th of 2012, the $693,249 was a 2011 fund balance estimate. if we stop here, one would assume the proposed 2011 fund balance surplus was available for the 2013 budget actual. On the contrary, the 2011 fund balance was not available for the 2013 actual budget resulting in 67.2% of the 2013 year ending deficit of $1,030395. . The 2014 Ò VUHs FY2015 Budget Fact sheetÓ explained the 2011 fund balance surplus “benefited voter” in the 2012 actual budgetyet it was booked for the 2013 budget. There was no voter approval and the ANwsU taxpayers have been assessed to cover the fund balance deficit. ironically, the former ANwsU business manager agreed with ACSU when asked by the State Chief Auditor (11/22/13) to explain the treatment of audited surpluses (deficits) in budget preparation for the Addison town school District and provide Ò explanation of apparent inconsistenciesÓ . the prior ANwSU business manager responded, “The budget for FY13 utilized the fund balance from the FY11 audit in the amount of $155,369”. This agrees with the Union District #3 fund balance path, not with VUHs. the fund balance problem does not exists in the audit reports; the problem exists in the school board budget preparation and spending. there is law mandating school boards to carry all audit fund balances into the next year as revenue, and to seek voter approval to do otherwise- all were ignored, whether intentional or not. Currently, there is a pending special investigation of ANwSU finances and the performance of former administrators. there is also a million dollar question needing answered. if the VUHS school board violated 16 V.S.A. 567, are the ANwsU taxpayers entitled to an insurance claim? Parent, taxpayer, and voter, Carol Kauffman writes about school board matters in Addison County, Vt.

Ó i didnÕ t think i was gonna live long enough to have to learn ‘Alice’s Restaurant’ again,” Guthrie said. “It was a quirky kinda thing to begin with. Nobody writes an 18-minute monologue expecting fame and fortune. the initial success of the song really took me by surprise more than anyone else. the fact that i have contended with it for five decades either by having to learn it again or by not doing it, has been an interesting balancing act. iÕ m surely looking forward to adding it to the repertoire though for the 50th anniversary tour.Ó Ó AliceÕ s restaurantÕ sÓ hilarious account of actual events that precluded Arlo Guthrie from military service (1966) became a platinum selling record (1967) and full-length motion picture (1969). tickets are on sale now and available online, by telephone, or at the box office located at 30 Center St. in downtown Rutland.

Eagle Inn exhibit at the Orwell Library orWEll Ñ the orwell Free library hosts a display of photographs, artifacts and postcards from the gone-but-not-forgotten stately Eagle inn through this month in collaboration with the orwell Historical society. sandy Korda, the orwell Museum curator, offers fascinating insight into the origins of many items on display. one particularly interesting treasure is the historic sign from the original inn run by Jeremiah Boynton. twenty years ago, a local resident removed the Freemasons lodge sign for repairs. When the sign was pulled from the building, the almost

200-year-old J.Boynton Inn sign was discovered on the back. There is no question of the origins of the sign, with “J. Boynton Inn, 1816” with a majestic eagle adorning its center. The Eagle Inn was founded in 1816 by Jeremiah Boynton and for many years stood as a major landmark in the heart of the orwell village. During the time of train travel, 6 stops were made in orwell each day. this provided a plenitude of guests for the inn to serve in the midst of the beautiful pastoral hamlet found just at the southern most point of Addison County.

MiDDlEBUrY Ð Middlebury College will mark the 50th anniversary of its Program in Environmental Studies – the first such undergraduate program in the nation Ð with a series of special events on Thursday, October 8-Friday, Oct. 9. these activities, which range from lectures to art installations, are part of a semester-long celebration that also recognizes MiddleburyÕ s environmental leadership and its commitment over the last 50 years to incorporating sustainability across all facets of the institution. Ò the Middlebury faculty members who founded the Program in Environmental studies in 1965 realized from the start that one of its strengths was its strong interdisciplinary nature,Ó said Pete ryan, interim director of the program and professor of geology. Ò Yet they probably could not have foreseen it as it is today Ð sustained by more than 80 professors from 28 departments and one of the largest majors on campus.Ó “In five decades, Middlebury has left an indelible mark on the environment and sustainability in higher education,Ó said Nan Jenks-Jay, dean of environmental affairs. “Today, the College is an internationally recognized leader in environmental thought, research, and action, and as we prepare for this celebration, we remember past achievements as well as imagine new ones.Ó Pieter Broucke, director of the arts at Middlebury, will kick off the featured activities on Thursday, Oct. 8, with a talk titled Ò Public Art and the Environment: Herman de VriesÕ wintergrŠ ser at the Franklin Environmental Center.Ó Also on Oct. 8, Assistant Professor of Dance Tzveta Kassabova will lead members of the CollegeÕ s Dance Company of Middlebury in an outdoor performance as they create a large-scale art

installation next to Mead Chapel. the dayÕ s events will conclude with a keynote talk, Ò Green Jobs Not Jails: Criminal Justice Ecology,” by Van Jones, president and founder of Dream Corps, and a CNN political correspondent. He will discuss one of Dream CorpsÕ projects, Green for All. According to Jones, industrial society has a throwaway approach to material goods as well as people. Green for All is working to reverse this trend by helping those who live in overly incarcerated communities to find green jobs, from installing solar panels to planting urban gardens. Jones is also author of the bestselling the Green Collar Economy and rebuild the Dream. in 2009, he worked as the green jobs advisor to the obama White House. on Friday, oct. 9, Bill McKibben, schumann Distinguished scholar at Middlebury, will moderate a keynote panel discussion, Ò Environmental studies at 50: WhatÕ s Next?Ó Participants will offer their expertise in a number of areas that intersect with environmental studies, including historical geography, public health, and economics. the panelists are: William Cronon, University of Wisconsin, Madison, rachel Morello-Frosch, University of California, Berkeley and Gernot Wagner, Environmental Defense Fund; Columbia University; and Harvard Kennedy school. the featured events will wrap up on oct. 9 with a world cafŽ with the theme Ò our Environment, our Future.Ó A world cafŽ is a structured creative process that facilitates conversation and the sharing of ideas among small groups. Jenks-Jay and Ryan hope that faculty, staff, students, and the public will participate.

Letters

Go solar To the editor: there is need for us to make better use of our resources to produce electricity. An important part of Vermont strong and Vermonters is the principle of self sufficiency. solar energy can be individually harvested and transformed into electricity. there is an active project to do that at the Emerald lake state park in East Dorset (at the headwaters of Otter Creek) where roof-mounted solar panels can provide electricity during daylight and charge a newly developed (Tesla) type of battery for use at night. that project can be duplicate at all Vermont state parks and other state buildings as a development and demonstration of how Vermonters are dealing with the evolution of electricity production (“energy crisis”).

Debt in Vermont From page 1

the most common budget trick involves excluding pension benefits from annual budgets, according to the report. Financial officers keep those liabilities off their balance sheets because the expenses donÕ t have to be paid until state employees retire. By ignoring expenses incurred in the present but paid in the future, states can claim to be balancing their budgets. in reality, the costs are being shifted to future taxpayers. VermontÕ s bills - 2015 Financial state of the statesAccording to the report, Vermont’s bills include $3.4 billion in bonds, $964 million in other liabilities, $1.3 billion of unfunded employee pension benefits and $2.3 billion of unfunded retiree health benefits. Minus debt related to capital assets, Vermont owes $7 billion. On the other side of the balance sheet, Vermont has $8.4 billion in assets. VermontÕ s Debt - 2015 Financial state of the statessince $4.5 billion of the state’s capital and restricted assets can’t be used to pay bills, the Green Mountain State has only $3.8 billion in assets to pay the $7 billion owed. The difference between available assets and current liabilities results in a debt of $3.2 billion. Truth in Accounting derives its data from audited annual financial reports and retirement plansÕ actuarial reports. “As a CPA looking at government finances, I found they were not being truthful and transparent about their financial condition,Ó sheila Weinberg, founder of truth in Accounting, told Watchdog.org. Ò the good news is we were able to get the accounting standards changed, and in next year’s audited financial statements the pension liability will be on the face of the balance sheets of the states. retiree health care liabilities will be on the face of the balance sheets in 2017.” Weinberg launched truth in Accounting in 2002 after noticing the federal governmentÕ s debt kept rising even though lawmakers reported a budget surplus — an impossibility in the field of accounting. the objective of the groupÕ s 50-state study is to give the public a comprehensive look at the true financial condition of every state. in the section on Vermont, the report says unfunded employee retirement benefits make up 51 percent of the state’s total bills. Ò these unfunded liabilities have accumulated because state employees have been promised $1.3 billion of pension benefits and $2.3 billion of retirees’ health care benefits, but the state has not adequately funded them,Ò the report states. Government debt across all 50 states is $1.3 trillion. That includes $628 billion of unfunded pension liabilities and $559 billion of retiree health care liabilities. “The major problem we find is that more than $900 billion of those liabilities are not being recorded on state balance sheets and have not been included in statesÕ balanced budgets,Ó Weinberg said. Ò so, states have been saying they balance their budgets, but they have not been including these pension and retiree health care costs in those budgets.Ó Weinberg said states justify their actions by claiming to follow generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, even while hiding debt. “The governments have said, ‘We’re different than everybody else. We go on forever. so, we might not be able to pay these bills right now, but over time we will eventually be able to pay them,Õ Ó Weinberg said. “(They also) say they have the power to tax. So if it comes up against the wall, they can just tax their way out of this, so they shouldn’t have to report these (expenses).” if thereÕ s any good news for Vermonters in the report, itÕ s that the Green Mountain state isn’t among the top five “sinkhole statesÓ Ñ states with the highest taxpayer burdens. states earning that dubious honor are New Jersey, $52,300; Connecticut, $48,600; Illinois, $45,000; Kentucky, $32,600; and Massachusetts, $27,400.

Leon Gonyo: a final farewell By Justin St. Louis Devil’s Bowl Speedway

WEst HAVEN Ñ the stars aligned for Vince Quenneville Jr. at Devil’s Bowl Speedway on saturday night, sept. 19, and the popular veteran stock car driver finally wrapped up his first championship on the asphalt half-mile oval. But the stars had a different plan for driver leon Gonyo when the second 50-lap race was marked by both triumph and tragedy. Quenneville finished first and second in a pair of 50-lap races for the Bond Auto Parts Modified division, and came from behind to win his first title in the NASCAR Whelen AllAmerican series presented by Yandow sales & Service and John Deere. the Brandon racer dominated the opening race at the Mekkelsen rV Vermont 200 Championship event, leading all but the first three laps. ron Proctor entered the event as the point leader after a summer-long battle with Quenneville, but was prematurely eliminated from contention in a crash on lap 5. From there Quenneville drove a steady race and sailed to his fifth of the season at DevilÕ s Bowl. Todd Stone finished second after an impressive drive from 17th starting position, followed by Jimmy Ryan. Kenny Tremont Jr. finished fourth in his first asphalt race of the year, with Joey Roberts fifth. the second 50-lap race was marked by both triumph and tragedy. leon Gonyo ran to a dominant win, leading the final 39 circuits and crossing the finish line ahead of Quenneville with a half-lap advantage. GonyoÕ s celebration was short, though, as he suffered a medical emergency during his victory lap and passed away shortly after despite a concentrated effort by Fair Haven rescue, track safety workers, and many volunteers. (A full statement on the incident is available at www. DevilsBowlSpeedwayVT.com.) Quenneville finished second in the race with stone third. Hometown racer Billy lussier led eight laps early and finished a strong fourth, with Proctor rebounding for fifth place. Quenneville’s runner-up finish gave him 16 top-five finishes in 17 starts and was enough to outdistance Proctor by 34 points for his first asphalt track championship; he had previously won the Devil’s Bowl title in 2003 on the former halfmile clay surface. Bob Kilburn of Fair Haven was named the rookie of the Year. Josh Masterson of Bristol put the exclamation point on a solid campaign in the Central Vermont Motorcycles late Model division by winning the 100-lap finale. As Steve Miller and Rich Lowrey Jr. waged an entertaining battle for the lead, Masterson remained solid. He grabbed the lead from Miller at lap 71, then survived the race’s seventh and final restart three laps later to take his fourth victory of the season and his first Late Model championship. Lowrey finished a season-best second, followed by Chris Bergeron. Bobby therrien ran fourth, and Miller faded back to fifth place. Robert Bryant Jr. finished second in the standings, and richard lowrey iii won the rookie of the Year title. richie turner of Fairfax ended his season the same way it started in the BrileyaÕ s Chrysler-

Jeep Renegade division by winning the 50-lap finale. The former Devil’s Bowl champion has made only sporadic appearances recently, but dominated the race to bookend the year in victory lane. Robert Gordon of Milton finished second in the race and clinched the championship Ð his third title in the last four years. shawn Duquette finished third followed by teenagers Michael Wright and Dylan rabtoy. scott FitzGerald finished as the championship runner-up, and Matt Monaghan took rookie of the Year honors. Chris laVair of Gabriels capped an incredible season in the Portland Glass Mini stocks by winning the two-segment finale. LaVair swept both 15-lap legs of race for his sixth victory of the year and clinched his first Devil’s Bowl championship. He accomplished the same at Airborne Park speedway in Plattsburgh winning six times and taking the overall title. Dale oÕ Neil was the runner-up in the race, followed Harold laVair, ChrisÕ father. Bradley Bertrand finished fourth to wrap up his Rookie of the Year campaign, and championship runner-up Chuck Bradford finished fifth in the race. out of respect to the emergency with leon Gonyo, a 50-lap race for the MFt sauce & rub Co. Enduro series, which was scheduled to end the event program following the second Modified race, was postponed until Sunday, October 4. With the asphalt NASCAR season now finished, DevilÕ s Bowl speedway turns its attention to the Dirt track for the next two weeks. the inaugural Ò Green Mountain sprint Car NationalsÓ presented by Fabian Earth Moving and Coastal 181 Publishing will run on Saturday, september 26 at 6:00 p.m. the event features the largest sprint Car purse ever posted in Vermont and brings together the Empire super sprints and sprint Cars of New England tours for the first time ever.

The Week In Sports

Short-track Milk Bowl, Oct. 11 By Michael Stridsberg

BARRE — The 53rd Annual Northfield Savings Bank Milk Bowl at Barre’s Thunder Road on sunday, oct. 11 is expected to be as challenging as any in the history of the event. The two-day event kicks off with Booth Bros. H.P. Hood Qualifying Day on Saturday, Oct. 10, and simply qualifying for the 30-car starting field in the race, dubbed the toughest short-track stock car race in North America, could prove as difficult as winning the Milk Bowl itself. “Qualifying is big as far as I’m concerned,” 2009 Milk Bowl winner John Donahue of Granville, said. Ò the faster you go in the time trials, the farther you can start up front. thatÕ s the trick of the thing. If I can start close to the front in the first segment, that changes my strategy for the race.” the Milk Bowl is the only American-Canadian tour-sanctioned event that runs time trials. the action at thunder road begins with each ACt late Model driver running two laps around the high-banked oval with the faster lap accepted as the official time. A $1,000 Booth Bros. H.P. Hood Pole Award goes to the driver with the fastest time, which was won in recent years by ACT Champions Joey Polewarczyk Jr., Alex Labbé, and Brian Hoar. Pictured at right: ACT’s 2009 Milk Bowl winner John Donahue (no. 26) knows that a strong effort on the qualifying day, Oct. 10, is crucial attempting the rugged short-track 2015 Milk Bowl, Oct. 11.
