A response to the Eagle

Public to get last chance on downtown plans

Virginia Quesnel GUEST W RITER

By Lou Varricchio

On Nov. 14, the Vermont Eagle published an article announcing my citation for operating a motor vehicle while under suspension. When I was made aware of this front-page article, I felt like I was punched in the stomach. I felt embarrassed and humiliated. I felt discouraged and helpless.

I am certainly not perfect. Clearly, I make mistakes. I am human, but I have worked way too hard and accomplished far too much to allow my flaws to publicly drown out my accomplishments and the value of my journey.

So, when asked how they could rectify the situation, I asked for a front-page article again, but this time, I would be the author.

For those of you who do not know who I am today, please let me take this opportunity to re-introduce myself.

My name is Virginia Quesnel, and I live in Waltham, Vermont. I have three amazing, talented, brilliant and caring children that I love more than anything in this world.

The gratitude I feel being able to be their mom again is overwhelming. I have a great relationship with my family and never take a minute of life for granted. » Response Cont. on pg. 5

The age of fat (tires) has arrived

The Fat Albert of biking and triking: “Fat tires are comfortable. The large tire volume low pressure tires act as shock absorbers... Since the large tires absorb a lot of the vibration from riding, there is less stress on your hands and lower back.”

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | You’ve probably seen more local bicyclists tooling around our backroads on fat tires. Yeah, we asked about it, too: What’s up with that?

Well, the Addison County Chamber of Commerce informed us that local Middle-

bury trike enthusiast Larry Buck and Mike Hussey (Rikert director of Middlebury’s Nordic Center), came up with a creative idea to bring an Adaptive Fat Tire Trike Program to Rikert’s popular outdoor winter offerings.

“The program would make adaptive trikes available to people with limited physical abilities, allowing them to access the outdoors in winter and enjoy the physical and mental benefits

Multiple medications?

of year-round exercise,” according to a recent report prepared by the Chamber’s Rob Carter.

We were curious so we asked internationally known Wyatt Bicycles why fat tires have become the latest fad in bike and trike cycling. The online company provided us with their five reasons, in their own words, on why fat tires are fun and safe: 1. Brings out the adventurer in you: A fat bike is a go anywhere bike. They will not only give you a great experience in the snow, but they also allow you to seek out epic adventures from sandy, rocky shorelines to muddy backwoods trails. On average, fat bike owners ride 76 times per year, that is double the amount that they expect to ride before they purchase a fat bike! Source: singletracks.com.

2. Fat bikes and trikes are pure fun: For the people that haven’t been on a fat bike before, it’s the same experience that you had when you first learned how to ride a bike as a kid. They can be ridden both enjoyably fast or slow. Whether you want to whip around the corners or just enjoy a leisurely ride, fat bikes bring the fun back to biking.

3. Fat tires are comfortable: The large tire volume low pressure tires act as shock ab-

sorbers. ... Since the large tires absorb a lot of the vibration from riding, there is less stress on your hands and lower back. The tire pressure can be adjusted from 30psi all the way down to 7psi depending on the tire.

4. Easy to ride: The most common question that we receive, by far, regarding fat bikes is, are they hard to ride? The answer is no.

Fat bikes are surprisingly easy to ride. ...

The large tires provide more balance and control which gives a beginner rider the confidence to seek more adventure.

5. Versatile: Fat bikes were originally designed for riding over snow in Alaska, but advancements in frame designs and parts have allowed them to be an all season bike. Fat bike frame designs started to become more like mountain bikes allowing people to ride their fat bike on the trails in summer and keep up with their friends on regular mountain bikes.

Meanwhile, here in Addison County, Carter reports that Buck and Hussey have raised the needed funds to build an “electrically assisted foot-powered recumbent fat-tire trike.”

The duo plan to display the trike and kickoff the program (open to all ages, all levels) at American Flatbread in Middlebury on Thursday, Dec. 13, at 5:30 p.m. ■

Issues with compliance or confusion?

MIDDLEBURY | A recent report by Jim Gish, downtown Middlebury’s construction project community liaison, indicated that the final public meeting to discuss revised landscape design concepts for the downtown Triangle Park and Printer’s Alley will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 7 p.m., at the Middlebury Town Offices located next to the Ilsley Public Library.

According to Gish, “The revised concepts ... reflect community feedback in previous meetings that emphasized the importance of 1.) providing space in Triangle Park for public events that can help drive economic development downtown and 2.) connecting our downtown green spaces with Printer’s Alley as the gateway between the Marble Works and Main Street.”

The concept plans are available to view online at the town of Middlebury’s website at townofmiddlebury.org.

“If you’re interested in the future look and feel of these two downtown spaces, you should plan to attend the public meeting,” Gish added.

At the Dec. 5 meeting, VHB’s Mark Hamelin will discuss the project concepts and seek comments from Middlebury residents.

With the collected comments, Middlebury Selectboard members will make a final decision at its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 11. ■

4-H quiz kids show their stuff in Dairy Bowl From News Reports THE V ERMONT EAGLE

MIDDLEBURY | For the four 4-H’ers representing Vermont at the recent North American 4-H Invitational Dairy Quiz Bowl, their third-place win was a sweet victory.

This is the first time since 1987 that the state team has finished in the top three. Coming in first and second, respectively, were teams from New York and Wisconsin.

Seventeen teams from throughout the U.S. participated in this year’s competition which took place Nov. 2-3 at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

For their third-place finish, they were presented with rosette ribbons, commemorative milk glasses and engraved silver cups at the awards banquet.

Caroline Kirby also was recognized at the banquet for placing second highest overall on the 50-question written Carpet and Vinyl Flooring Sales Carpet and Vinyl Repair Work Over 45 Years Experience

exam that each competitor completed the evening prior to the buzzer rounds. She received a framed certificate as did each of the other top ten high individual scorers.

The scores from the written exam were used to rank the teams for the quiz bowl contest as well as to determine overall team standings.

Questions for the buzzer rounds covered a wide range of topics including feeds and feeding, herd health, dairy nutrition, breeding and genetics, calf raising, dairy foods and marketing.

For this year’s contest, the featured topic was lameness in cattle and its treatment and prevention.

Each round consisted of five group questions where team members could discuss and collaborate on answers and 20 toss-up questions where points were awarded to the first individual to buzz in the correct answer.

Bonus questions, worth up to 20 points, were offered to a team when three members of that team answered a question correctly.

The 4-H’ers had an opportunity to socialize with the other competitors at a pizza party. Accompanying the team were their coaches, Sara Kirby and Judy Vaughan.

Each team member received a K. Stewart Gibson Award, given in honor of the former University of Vermont Extension (UVM) dairy specialist, to help cover expenses with additional financial assistance from the state 4-H dairy committee. ■

Global initiative helping orphans, women

By Anne Majusiak GUEST W RITER

BRISTOL | For most of us, it is unthinkable to imagine growing up without a family, but that is the sad reality for many children.

focuses on literacy, global education, and writing and literature for children and young adults.

During the presentation, Cooper will discuss Betasab and the GFI, explaining how it was formed through a combination of her personal story, her work in Ethiopia and her teaching. She will highlight the program’s successes as well as its hurdles and share stories and photos of the children it serves.

Cooper will offer an overview of GFI’s programs and explain where the organization is now as her daughter, Meskerem, who she adopted from Ethiopia, is about to take the helm.

Point and laugh: The big bunny game hunt

By Tom Pinsonneault GUEST COLUMNIST

ORWELL | My dad promised to buy me a Daisy BB gun when I turned nine years old, and true to his promise the Christmas before my ninth birthday, what do you think was neatly wrapped under the tree?

You can imagine my excitement. I got my Daisy before any of the Main Street “gang.”

Neither Al Whitman nor Terry or Arty Senecal could beat my boast. Not even John Sherman who I think was a bit older than myself.

My dad allowed that before he would take me out hunting with “Daisy,” I must memorize the pledge on the butt end of the stock.

What? I examined the butt end of the stock, and sure enough, there it was as plain as day.

I understood that it would require effort to memorize that pledge, but I was willing to sacrifice some of my homework time for such a worthwhile endeavor. I learned the

pledge and dutifully recited it for my dad.

Progress reports from school were not due for another week. I am in the clear!

It was a Saturday morning in early February 1957, in Bennington, Vermont. There had been a fresh snowfall the evening before and my dad didn’t have to be at work at the Polygraphic in North Bennington until 11 p.m.

My brother, Henry, showed up at 8 a.m. for breakfast then we grabbed our guns, piled into my dad’s oldsmobile and headed for West Road.

The soft snow squeaked and grumbled under the weight of the car as we slowed to a stop on the side of the road. We had talked a lot about rabbits along the way, and I was quite excited at the prospects of bagging my first rabbit and visions of rabbit potpie enticed me on.

Retrieving our guns that were safely stowed in the trunk, we crossed a snow covered stonewall, then a barbed wire fence and began walking three abreast with guns at the ready.

The field grass was matted under its heavy

burden and walking was more like trudging.

I remember daydreaming about G.I. Joe on a ‘recon’ patrol moving in on an enemy position. Keep your eyes peeled, men!

Suddenly, without warning I could feel a land mine under my foot! I froze, and then at the blink of an eye was brought back to reality.

My eyes were clouded with the chill of the cold air, my ears felt plugged and my heart was beating so loudly I could feel the thumping throughout my entire body.

But, wait! The beating wasn’t my heart, but my foot sending me a message. I looked down and realized that I had stepped on a rabbit! Not the rabbit, but the rabbit’s tail, trapping him under my weight as I moved slowly through the field. My dad and brother stopped in their tracks to witness what transpired next.

I put the BB gun to my shoulder and bent over to get a bead on the “enemy.” But I couldn’t keep that darn rabbit in my sight! First, he would flop right then left then right again and so on.

I tried my best to follow his movement but wasn’t quick enough. I managed to get off several rounds. Then I guess, I got tired because my foot fell asleep and when that happened the pressure was off the cottontail and he raced away while I fell face first into the snow crashing down on top of Daisy.

I looked up to see my dad and brother pointing down at me and having a good laugh. It was a quiet ride home, occasionally interrupted with fits of laughter and more finger pointing.

My mom asked why home so soon which caused more laughter and finger pointing. I sat beside the kerosene stove and began cleaning Daisy’s snow bound barrel and wondering if G.I. Joe clogged his gun’s barrel with mud whenever he fell into his foxhole.

Oh, yeah. Now I remember why I haven’t hunted rabbits in all these years. Thanks for the reminder guys. ■ - Native Vermonter Tom Pinsonneault lives in Orwell. This piece is the conclusion to his series.

From the editor

Dairy workers claim ICE intimidation Civil and immigrant rights groups recently announced they are suing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary, multiple customs agents and Vermont’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) commissioner over immigration enforcement practices in Vermont.

Immigrant and civil rights activists braved the cold and wind Wednesday to show their support for a lawsuit filed at U.S. Federal District Court in downtown Burlington.

Vermont-based groups represented in the lawsuit are Migrant Justice, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont, the National Center for Law and Economic Justice, the National Immigration Law Center and the law firm Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher LLP. According to a news release by American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) -Vermont, the lawsuit alleges that “the Vermont DMV assisted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and DHS in targeting Migrant Justice leaders after the organization worked to pass Vermont’s Driver Privilege Card (DPC) law in 2013, allowing state residents to obtain driving privileges regardless of immigration status.”

The groups say that when undocumented immigrants began applying for driver’s privilege cards, the

DMV sent that information on to ICE, which then “compiled dossiers on Migrant Justice leaders, including their social media pages and media appearances.”

They further allege that the Vermont DMV “shared the plaintiffs’ information with ICE for discriminatory purposes, out of racial and anti-immigrant animus.”

Vermont dairy worker and activist Enrique Balcazar, one of the plaintiffs named in the Migrant Justice lawsuit against ICE and the Vermont DMV, said “We come to the U.S. from countries with histories of political repression and we thought that here our freedom of speech would be protected as we stood up to defend our rights.

“It is clear that ICE is trying to silence immigrant voices in Vermont.”

The 41-page-long federal lawsuit challenges the immigration practices of the U.S. and state of Vermont and alleges profiling along with mistreatment and surveillance of migrant farm workers and activists.

According to the lawsuit, 20 members of the organization Migrant Justice were arrested and subsequently detained by ICE agents.

“ICE has infiltrated Migrant Justice’s private meetings; targeted, surveilled and engaged in disinformation campaigns to sow distrust among its members;

and arrested and/or detained no fewer than 20 active Migrant Justice members,” the lawsuit read.

Plaintiffs named in the case include Jose Victor Garcia Diaz, a Vermont dairy worker and activist, and Vermont Migrant Justice activists Miguel Aleudia Gamas, Jose Enrique Balcazar Sanches and Zully Palacios Rodreiguez, a woman.

The lawsuit sets out to thwart ICE’s ability to deport migrant workers. The suit outlines the arrest of a worker on Sept. 13, in which Vermont State Police stopped a car for speeding and found him as a passenger. Although he was not the driver, state police handed the man over to U.S. Border Patrol.

ACLU-Vermont staff attorney and public advocate Lia Ernst also addressed the Burlington marchers: “The experiences of immigrants in Vermont — including our plaintiffs in this case as well as internal records we’ve received — demonstrates, without a doubt, that the state and federal governments have undertaken to retaliate against outspoken critics and activists in the migrant community.

“To be clear, this suppression of free political speech violates bedrock, fundamental constitutional law and we will not stand for it,” she said.

Giving thanks to farmers

By Anson Tebbetts GUEST COLUMNIST

At the AFCP Award Ceremony held April 20, 2017 The Vermont Eagle received 6 awards.

Our submissions were judged along with every free paper in country affili-ated with the Association of Free Community Papers. We are very proud of our achievements and would like to thank our readers and advertisers who helped with our success. We look forward to bringing new innovations to 2018!

www.addison-eagle.com

The autumn harvest is complete and the season for giving thanks is here. The holiday season, starting with Thanksgiving, offers time for family and friends to reconnect, pause and enjoy a few hours together over a meal.

As we picture our nation’s fields, forests and barns and the people who work within them, we thank our Vermont farmers for our bounty.

This holiday season, you may enjoy a fresh Vermont turkey, raised by your neighbor, purchased on-farm or through a coop or grocery store that is committed to offering local food.

Or maybe your family prefers a roast of Vermont pork, chicken, lamb or beef. We have a cornucopia of choices, and Vermonters are fortunate to have so many ways to thank our farmers.

From parsnips to potatoes, Vermont farmers fill our Thanksgiving with fresh vegetables. It might be spuds smothered

in Green Mountain butter or butternut squash doused in pure Vermont maple.

A farmer made it possible.

And of course, we would not be giving thanks in true celebration, without dessert. Our farmers top off the day with pumpkin, apple or mince pie and fresh dairy whipped cream or ice cream. It’s a sweet finish for a Thanksgiving meal.

The holidays are a time to think of those less fortunate. Vermont farmers are always among the first to help those in need. They often are the first to contribute to their local food shelf or donate fresh products to a gleaning program.

When neighbors help neighbors, their community impact is exponential.

Every Vermonter has the opportunity to give thanks to our farmers for their contributions to our land, water and mountains.

They are the keepers of our landscape.

Hard work and commitment to Vermont’s environment create open fields and scenic vistas. From stands of maple sugar bush to Christmas tree farms, every day farmers steward our land.

Vermonters and visitors alike enjoy and rely on Vermont food, forest products and the space for recreation. We are thankful so much land is left open.

On this day, we also give thanks to all of you who support Vermont agriculture.

Choosing local food at your coop or market; buying Community Supported Agriculture shares or supporting your farmer neighbor by visiting them to buy meat, eggs, baked goods, dairy and produce… we feed each other here, in the hills.

Committing to local is meaningful and recognized by all of us invested in Vermont agriculture.

We are blessed to have so many around the table thinking of our farmers.

As we enjoy the food and companionship of a holiday dinner, let us raise a glass of fresh Vermont milk, cider, beer, wine or spirits to our farmers.

We toast their commitment to agriculture every day. ■ - Anson Tebbetts is the Vermont Secretary of Agriculture, Food and Markets.

» Response Cont. from pg. 1 My parents Randy and Jean Quesnel have been the legal guardians of my three children, Jackson, Natalie and Caitlin since 2013 when I was not healthy enough to care for them.

I am so incredibly grateful for them both and what they had done for my children when I was not able to. I could never possibly repay them or show them enough gratitude.

My children have been very safe, loved and well taken care of while under my parents’ guardianship. They are growing into intelligent, vibrant and capable young people and I do owe so much of that to my parents. They have never given up on me, even in times when everyone would have understood if they had.

I have met an amazing man, Stanley, who loves my children like his own and challenges me to be the best version of myself daily. He has shown me what it feels like to be loved unconditionally.

I am part of a community that supports one another, a community that is understanding and believes in the idea that it takes a village. I have made so many great friends and built countless everlasting relationships since I moved to Vergennes in June 2017. I have regained my confidence and am proud of who I am. I have my dignity back. My sobriety has blessed me with a life that at one point I didn’t believe was possible.

With that said, I would like to tell you a little bit about my life over the past several years to put things into perspective for those of you who may not know. Following a failed marriage in 2012 to my children’s father, I spiraled into a lifestyle I am not at all proud of.

Following this separation, I struggled with drug addiction, which led to many serious legal issues ranging from retail thefts to prostitution charges to drug sales. From 2012 through 2017 my addiction caused many issues as I continued to attempt recovery while battling my struggle with relapse. There was a point in 2013 during my active heroin addiction that I believed I would never survive.

I was living like a wild animal, feeding my addiction by whatever means necessary. I was alone in New York, not having had contact with my family in months. Running from the law, having warrants in multiple states, bad decisions upon more bad decisions, selling my body, risking my life…. just to feed my addiction.

The thought of life ever being normal again was a fantasy. If it weren’t for my mother calling the state police daily, begging them to find me, I am not sure if I would be alive today.

I was arrested in Burlington and so began a rollercoaster of short bits of sobriety and multiple trips to rehab. Finally, in 2015 I found a program that I will be forever grateful for.

After completing the Phoenix House Tapestry Program in November 2015, I returned to the community with 11 months of sobriety and began rebuilding my life.

After much hard work, I was hired as an independent living advisor at the Northlands Job Corps in Vergennes. During my employment there, my life experience proved useful and I was able to be a great leader and role model to the students.

I felt like I was on top of the world, that there was no looking back. I had beat my addiction, and I could close that chapter.

That is where I made a crucial mistake. I told myself I got this and lost focus on the importance of my recovery supports.

In August 2016, I experienced some unexpected, life-changing events and found myself spiraling out of control at the mercy of a relapse.

I again found myself at rock bottom, living in a homeless prevention center apartment in downtown Rutland, failing miserably at maintaining my sobriety. How was I going to stay sober and get my life back when I was immersed in the very things that were killing me?

On May 23, 2017 I had had enough. I was tired of fighting this uphill battle, lying to everyone that I could do this without treatment. Without hesitation, I arranged yet again, another trip to rehab.

The Vermont Eagle | December 1, 2018 • 5

This is simply a sliver of a glimpse of the hell I have endured, the hell my addiction created and fueled. These parts of my life are sickening, degrading and immensely embarrassing. They are certainly years that I am not at all proud of, but the reality is this is the stuff that people like to read about.

This is a front-page story. A girl so dangerously out of control she deserves the public humiliation. It is so unfortunate that we get entertainment from other’s flaws and mistakes, but if this is reality, then I would like to tell it for myself.

Yes, I did these things. Yes, it is public record. Yes, I made countless mistakes and terrible choices. I’ve disappointed and hurt so many people that love me, and I would do anything to take that back.

I have forever changed the lives of my children by my selfish choices. I own all of it, every little last thing. Yes, I own it. Yes, I own my past, but more importantly, I own who I am today. Today, I am proud of the woman I am when I look in the mirror.

In June 2017, I successfully completed treatment at the Serenity House in Wallingford, Vermont, promising myself this would be the last time I would go to rehab.

Since my discharge on June 22, 2017, I have worked incredibly hard toward the goal of maintaining my sobriety, rebuilding my life and my relationships with my children, family and community. While the Nov. 14 article in the Eagle publicized my flaws, this week I would like the opportunity to publicize my accomplishments and my strengths.

I would like to challenge you to join me in celebrating recovery and building each other up, rather than finding flaws and passing judgment.

My life has been everything but easy over the last 18 months. Upon my discharge from the Serenity House in June 2017, I swallowed my pride and came to Vergennes to reside at the John Graham Shelter. At that point, I really had nothing to lose.

Within four days, I was employed full time

at 3 Squares Café as a barista. I developed everlasting relationships with both co-workers and customers. I received a promotion at the café and soon moved into my own space at the Emmerson House in Vergennes.

The staff at John Graham were and still are monumental in my recovery. The patience, empathy and compassion I was shown during my four months at the shelter is something I will forever be grateful for.

I attended AA meetings regularly and met so many wonderful, supportive people. The comradery I felt from the strong women I began to meet was so inspirational.

The love and support I felt from the people around me continued to motivate me through the hardest times of my life.

The devastating loss of my brother, Randy, this summer is something that at times still seems so surreal. His passing has forever changed our family and has certainly taught me to make the best of every day, as tomorrow isn’t promised.

I am so grateful that I am still here today.

I value people and relationships, not stuff and things. My journey has humbled me to the core and created a spark for genuinely being a good human.

My story represents commitment, patience, hard work and dedication. I have regained my confidence, self-respect and dignity as a mother and as a woman.

It has been a long, painful journey, but by trusting the process and being my best me every day, I have accomplished so much.

I am an active mother in my children’s lives daily and am currently in the process of regaining legal guardianship. I am an active, educated member of a community that I love.

I have a stable, loving, structured home that I plan to grow old in. I make mistakes; I am only human, but today I have so much more to celebrate than my flaws.

There is so much more to me than a court citation. I see the world in color again. I am proud of who I am. I am sober. I am me. ■

Champlain lowlands may sit atop natural gas

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | There’s natural gas and maybe even petroleum in them thar hills of Vermont.

Despite an effort by the state to reach 90 percent carbon-free energy by 2050, it’s worth considering what fossil fuel deposits remain untapped, perhaps forever, beneath Vermont’s bedrock.

Despite Vermont’s 2012 decision to forbid fracking within state lines, other states—such as Pennsylvania, Texas, Colorado and North Dakota — have done fracking and their home-grown energy work has produced big budget surpluses to support social programs and schools.

Admittedly, only a small portion of Vermont’s northwestern extreme sits atop natural gas deposits, yet, it has been known to geologists since the 1940s.

And while fracking in Vermont is banned, drilling the old-fashioned way remains legal with the proper local and state permits.

“Dreams of oil and natural gas in the sedimentary rocks of the Champlain lowlands have brought about surges of optimism over many years that Vermont would become an energy producer,” according to geologist Harold Meeks who wrote a book surveying the state’s resources, titled “Vermont’s Land and Resources.”

Meeks’ book includes technical details about fossil-fuel reserves here; it has fueled interest in using new technologies to explore the alleged deposits.

According to the University of Vermont, the Champlain Valley was formed by a deep sedimentary basin, a typical feature where biogenic oil and gas is typically found.

As early as the mid 1950s, the American Gas Association had mapped the lake region in detail and designated it as a promising source for future oil and gas development.

During the 1956-57 period, several test wells were drilled

Vehicles collide on Middlebrook Road

MIDDLEBROOK | Troopers from the Vermont State Police New Haven Barracks responded to Middlebrook Road Nov. 15 for a report of a multi-vehicle collision.

Troopers located vehicle one at the position of “uncontrolled rest” behind vehicle two. Both vehicles where in the northbound lane, facing north, sustained major contact damage and

The famous Yandow Oil Well in St. Albans was drilled to a depth of 4,500 feet in 1957. on Grand Isle and around St. Albans; there were clear oil and gas signatures but nothing of commercial value was produced in this mid-century era before the advent of advanced fracking technology.

The remains of one large commercial drilling operation, which began in 1957, can still be seen on the old Yandow Farm in St. Albans. The Yandow well was drilled to a depth of 4,500 feet.

“The well, drilled by the Henderson Company, used a cable-tool rig typical of 20th-century wells in Texas. As time passed, the wooden blocks at the base of the derrick rotted and the derrick settled on the well head, tipping it about 30 degrees,” according to the Vermont Geological Survey project summary.

When the Bellrose family, of Swanton struck a pocket of natural gas while drilling a 650-feet-deep water well in 1957, it set off a mini gas boom.

This period of what would be several up and down booms never produced anything; it petered out in the mid 1970s.

“We had a new well drilled to 650 feet deep and hooked the water into the house. After you drew it from the tap, it looked and tasted like Alka Seltzer,” Mrs. Lawrence Bellrose reported to Meeks about the 1957 drilling effort. “(One day) my husband went down to the cellar... he struck a match and the room lit up with a ball of fire!”

In a special 1956 report to the Vermont Legislature, then state geologist Charles Doll announced that, “It is nothing new to residents of the Champlain Valley in Vermont that natural gas occurs in certain water wells ... The basin of sedimentary rocks possesses geologic features that warrant the exploration of this area for oil and gas.”

As Vermont moves away from adding more oil into its energy mix, it has welcomed the use of natural gas (although none of it appears to be of U.S. origin; it’s all Canadian product).

But who knows?

Perhaps this hidden, clean energy resource may be tapped to serve the people of Vermont in some future era. ■

POLICE BLOTTER

were considered a total loss.

Vehicle three was located just in front of vehicles one and two. Vehicle three was facing south in the northbound lane. Vehicle three sustained no damage in the collision.

Investigation revealed that vehicle two was broken down on South Middlebrook Road.

The vehicles had a dead battery and flat tire.

The operator was identified as Michael Mills, 58,

of Ferrisburgh. The operator of vehicle three, Peter Bearor, 63, of Ferrisburgh, stopped to assist Mills in changing a tire and jump starting the vehicle. Vehicle one, operated by Patricia Paul, 66, of Ferrisburgh, was traveling north on South Middlebrook Road at a speed of approximately 30 mph in a posted 35 mph zone.

Paul advised that she was blinded by vehicle three’s headlights and was unable to see vehicle

two, as its hazard lights were not activated. Vehicle one was subsequently rear ended by vehicle two.

This collision caused Bearor to become entrapped under vehicle two and Paul to sustain lacerations to the face. Both Bearor and Mills were transported to area hospitals for their injuries.

The Vermont State Police was assisted on scene by the Vergennes Fire Department, Vergennes Rescue and MiddState Towing. ■

Common Core test scores heading down

We’re actually seeing the opposite.

They’re increasingly less prepared. And there’s mounting evidence that Common Core deserves some of the blame.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT LARGELY DOWN OR FLAT

Common Core has been officially rolled out into U.S. public schools and even many private schools for at least three to five years now.

Image provided

By Joy Pullmann GUEST W RITER

It’s been about nine years since the Obama administration lured states into adopting Common Core sight unseen, with promises it would improve student achievement.

Like President Obama’s other big promises — “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” — this one’s been proven a scam.

“If you set and enforce rigorous and challenging standards and assessments; if you put outstanding teachers at the front of the classroom; if you turn around failing schools — your state can win a Race to the Top grant that will not only help students outcompete workers around the world, but let them fulfill

their God-given potential,” President Obama said in July 2009.

He went on to state his faith that Common Core — at that point unwritten — would “not only make America’s entire education system the envy of the world, but we will launch a Race to the Top that will prepare every child, everywhere in America, for the challenges of the 21st century.”

Race to the Top was a $4 billion money pot inside the 2009 stimulus that helped bribe states into Common Core.

So here we are, nine years later. Common Core has been officially rolled out into U.S. public and even many private schools for at least three to five years now.

Are American children increasingly prepared for “the challenges of the 21st century?”

ACT scores released earlier this month show that students’ math achievement is at a 20-year low. The latest English ACT scores are slightly down since 2007, and students’ readiness for college-level English was at its lowest level since ACT’s creators began measuring that item in 2002.

Students’ preparedness for college-level math is at its lowest point since 2004.

SAT scores also dropped post-Common Core until it fully implemented a new version tailored for Common Core.

How convenient.

Even after the test was overhauled to match Common Core, average test scores increased by 0.7 percent in the most recent results. It represents almost no difference to pre-Common Core results, and the public can’t know exactly how the scores were recentered and altered, either.

In all the previous SAT overhauls, average scores technically went up, but statistical analyses show they’ve actually been steadily losing ground over the past 60 years.

In other words, the SAT has a history of score inflation, and Common Core is doing nothing to reverse that. ■ - Joy Pullmann is the executive editor of “The Federalist.”

break when Bullard scored on a one-timer while Castleton was serving a major penalty.

Castleton had a goal waved off in the opening seconds of the second period when a crease violation negated a would-be tally.

The Spartans returned fire with one goal in the second period when Rennert cleaned up a loose puck on the doorstep at 8:15.

Then, Kazeroid scored the equalizer at 7:54 of the third period when he fired a rebound in the direction of the cage that was initially saved before being deflected in by a Canton defender.

Senior Wyatt Pickrell was charged with the loss in a 28-save effort. Austin Washkurak picked up his first win of the campaign for Canton.

The Spartans were out-shot by the visitors by a 31-25 margin. Castleton was 0-for-5 on the power play, while the Kangaroos scored once in six man-up opportunities. ■

We are happy to help find homes for dogs who otherwise may not meet their forever families. The transport process often requires that we drive a distance (as much as 4 hours each way) to meet the dogs. The transports are often on week days.

We are in need of volunteers with clean driving records who would be interested in driving our van to pick up the dogs and bring them to RCHS. If you are interested in learning more about this volunteer opportunity please contact Sue at sue@rchsvt.org or 483-9171 ext. 204.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our executive director, Dr. Kevin Rushing, is leaving RCHS. Our board would like to take this opportunity to wish Kevin the very best as he moves on to his next chapter. ■
