J. Kirk Edwards remembered Former Eagle photographer won numerous news awards By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | J. Kirk Edwards, formerly of Ferrisburgh, passed away earlier this month at his retirement residence in South Carolina. Edwards served as the Vermont Eagle’s news photographer J. Kirk Edwards. File photo from 2002 to 2011. Edwards was born in Clarence, New York, on Feb. 23, 1943. As a child, Edwards was sent to France while his father served in the U.S. Navy. He spent his later youth in Mt. Kisco, New York, Grey, Maine, and in Salisbury, Vermont, where his father ran a bungalow colony for summer rentals along the north end of Lake Dunmore. He later lived in Plainfield, Waterbury and Ferrisburgh. At the start of the Vietnam War in 1964, Edwards volunteered as a U.S. Army aviator. He flew dangerous Army Intelligence reconnaissance missions aboard a small observer aircraft, often operating low over jungle treetops near the border of the former South Vietnam and North Vietnam. A graduate of the State University of New York, Purchase with a B.A. degree in fine arts and a minor in botany, he worked for several years as a photojournalist with newspapers in the Hudson Valley region. During Edwards’ stint with the Vermont Eagle, he won numerous news awards for his photography from the National Newspaper Association and Association of Free Community Papers, among others. In addition to being a photographer, Edwards found work as a salesman, cook, carpenter, an automobile “repo man”, and arts teacher. He loved steam trains as well as hunting, fishing, painting, drawing, cooking, and astronomy. He was an accomplished musician and played the drums, stride piano, and Spanish guitar. During his retirement years, he managed the popular, and often controversial, Vermont Woodchuck political blog online. He is survived by Nancy, a beloved domestic companion of many years, and brothers Kevin and John, as well as sisters Missy, Deborah, Gina, Laura, and a pet cat named MnaMna.■

VIGIL ON MIDDLEBURY GREEN WILL RAISE AWARENESS John Graham Housing & Services candlelight vigil for the homeless By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
VERGENNES | When you ask Elizabeth Ready, former director of the John Graham Shelter in Vergennes, about the holidays and homelessness, you might think her reaction would reflect an overwhelming sense of so much work to be done with so little done. Not so. Despite the increase in homeless around Vermont, Ready remains optimistic. Having served as both state senator and state auditor, Ready appeared pleased to exit politics and return to Addison County
where she could work and do the most good. She now serves as the shelter’s chief financial officer and fundraising director. “I am a fifth generation Vermonter and my father talked about the work farms here,” Ready said. “Homelessness has been a part of our state, perhaps not always so visible or as much discussed as today.” Ready said that there are no loafers at the Vergennes shelter. The staff work hard to help able adults who need their services find employment. It may not always be full-time or well paid employment, but it’s a start to get people back on their own feet. “Nearly all parents (here) are working, but wages are low and the cost of rent is high. The vacancy rate here in Addison County hovers around 1%. So, to afford an average two bedroom apartment… with rent at $1,009, a person would need to earn $19.35 an hour and work 40 hours a week bringing home $40,240. That’s according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition who does an annual study on housing wages.” See VIGIL » pg. 2

MIDDLEBURY | Mention the phrase “fracked gas” around Addison County and you may find yourself getting into a lively discussion. With strong opposition to fracking and fossil fuels hereabouts, any serious talk about drilling for Vermont natural gas may invoke the always chilling Malocchio. Vermont’s 2012 decision to forbid fracking within state lines may not be good for our long-term economic well being. How so? Other states—such as Pennsylvania, Texas, Colorado and North Dakota—have done fracking and their home-grown energy work has produced bigbudget surpluses that help support expensive social programs, health care and schools. Admittedly, only a small portion of Vermont’s northwestern extreme sits atop natural gas
deposits, but it has been known to geologists since the 1940s. And while fracking in Vermont is banned (at least until the law is changed), 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. See BENEATH » pg. 3

Adopt-A-Pet JOE is the ultimate cool cat: he’s got the whole feline James Dean, sunglasses, and leather jacket vibe going. Well, you get the idea. He knows what he wants, he knows how to get it, and he gives the best hugs to sweeten you up to get his way. Joe came to us because he kept visiting the neighbors and the neighbors didn’t appreciate unexpected house guests. This cat’s guardians tried to keep him inside, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer and would make his way outside, even if it meant pushing through window screens. Like I said, this cool cat knows what he wants and won’t take no for an answer. Not only is Joe a cool cat, he’s a smart cat, too. By the end of his first “sit” training session he would walk up and sit patiently at my feed waiting for his treat. If you are looking for an indoor/outdoor cat with character galore, look no further than Cool Cat Joe. Joe qualifies for our new Paws on the Job program. Are rodents running rampant? Do you need a night security guard for your office, shop, store, or warehouse? Homeward Bound’s working cat program, Paws on the Job, matches business with cats who would thrive in a non-traditional setting. If you would like more information about Paws on the Job, please email our Feline Coordinator at mshubert@homewardboundanimals.org. ■
CARMEN | 7-year-old hound/ shepard mix spayed female red.
John Graham has served homeless families in Addison County for 40 years, but during that time, the gap between rich and poor has widened. “The richest 5% of Vermont households have average incomes 9.6 times as large as the bottom 20% of households and 3.7 times as large as the middle 20% of households,” according to Ready.” We are literally pulling apart…” Ready said the need for homeless services has changed in recent decades. “Back in 1980 people who faced homelessness were single people who perhaps had lost a
MILLIE | 3-year-old spayed female domestic medium hair black and white.
Hello, it is nice to meet you. I am thoroughly modern Millie. I arrived at RCHS at the end of October from a very busy shelter up north. I made my way across Vermont in hopes of finding my forever home. I am a bit of a shy girl at first. However, I just want love and attention. I can usually be found in a high place taking a nap. I am a very relaxed and calm cat.
I arrived at the shelter on Oct. 28 as a stray from Rutland with my best friend Carmen. It is no wonder that Carmen and l get along so well with each other, we are both so silly. I really don’t care for treats but love, love, love to be as close
job or run into some bad luck,” she said. “Today we see many more families with children who are homeless. At John Graham we have five houses, all filled with families with children. The need for services is much greater.” John Graham helps people move from temporary shelter to stable housing. “But we also help them deal with underlying issues that may cause homelessness,” Ready stressed. “Some people are fleeing violence, or face chronic physical or mental health conditions. Others struggle with addictions and may be in recovery. Many children grapple with adverse childhood events which can scar them with trauma difficult to overcome. Our trained

service coordinators help people get permanent housing and then stick with them to help them get or keep a job, work to resolve health and mental health issues, or finish their education.” Ready and the shelter staff credit local churches for their help as well. “I hesitate to mention any one Addison County church because they all do such wonderful things to help the homeless and they work with us,” she said. Ready is upbeat about John Graham’s annual candlelight vigil and sleep out. The event will be held on Saturday, Dec. 7, in downtown Middlebury. The event is kind of a “camp meeting” to increase awareness about local homelessness. The vigil includes hot drinks, sharing, and lots of tents. “On Dec. 7 a group of hearty souls will sleep out above the Middlebury Falls in downtown Middlebury,” she said. “We hope many will
Hello, I am Sid. I arrived at RCHS at the beginning of October. I came in as a stray so not too much is known about my past. I am a little bit of a quiet guy when you first get to know me. I can be found most days at the humane society lounging in the window or asleep in my hammock. I enjoy relaxing on these cold evening days. However, I’m hoping to find my forever home with my own person. ■ Amelia Stamp, Events & Community Outreach Coordinator, Rutland County Humane Society | 802-483-6700 | www.rchsvt.org
come out for the vigil on the Middlebury Town Green beginning at 4:30 p.m. and there’s a dinner to follow at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall. Some community members will be sleeping out for the 6th year in a row.” According to Ready, during last year’s vigil, snow fell throughout the night and attendees woke up covered in several inches of cold, wet snow. Other years, low wind chills made tenting a challenge. “For us it was just a single night,” Ready said. “Each person shares the uncertainly and fear that homeless neighbors often feel: not having a safe place to stay, a door that shuts and locks, a place to go after work or school, a private place of one’s own. It’s amazing how much dread you can feel on a cold, dark night. But in the morning we warm up around the fire, share some coffee, and know throughout the coming year many of our neighbors will get safe housing because we spent a cold night by the falls.” ■

Addison County considered for storm funds Oct. 31-Nov. 1 storm damaged roads, property By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | The U.S. Department of Transportation has approved $500,000 in emergency relief funding following the Halloween rainstorm that left widespread damage throughout Vermont, according to Gov. Phil Scott’s office. Communities in Addison, Chittenden, Essex, Franklin, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans
and Washington counties will be considered for funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for repairs to local public infrastructure. “These emergency funds will assist the Vermont Agency of Transportation in repairs to roads on the federal highway system damaged during the Oct. 31-Nov. 1 storm event. This funding is a critical step toward restoring Vermont’s infrastructure after this devastating storm,” Scott said last week. “I’m grateful to all of the emergency responders and road crews for their ongoing service in these efforts.” The governor said that severe storm and flooding are estimated to have caused more than $5 million in damages to state, local, and federal roads in Vermont.
File photo
Scott noted that Vermont Transportation Secretary Joe Flynn requested emergency funds from the Federal Highway Administration, and the state has been granted a quick release of $500,000 for VTrans to begin emergency repairs to the federal system. Flynn told reporters that “remaining federal highway funds will likely be released as the work is completed. Repairs on some of the most heavily damaged infrastructure may extend out 24 months. “The state has placed a high priority on emergency management planning, particularly since Tropical Storm Irene in 2011,” Flynn added. “We were prepared for this, we activated swiftly, and our crews out in the field worked diligently to get roadways re-opened as quickly as possible.” ■

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
MIDDLEBURY | Skilled workforce shortages plague the construction industry, with Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing 379,000 vacant jobs in the sector nationally. Meanwhile, Middlebury-based Bread Loaf Corporation, Construction Manager of Bennington’s ambitious Putnam Block Redevelopment Project in Bennington—intended to catalyze economic and community development in southern Vermont—has been staying ahead of the curve, leveraging the skilled labor shortage to its advantage. Where the firm joins its peers in remaining eager to continue recruiting and retaining skilled workers from the general labor pool, it stands out, in a remarkable win-win, by investing in the folks already on the payroll. Since mid-September, Bread Loaf Corporation has been offering free weekly training sessions for its unskilled workers, who already contribute in other ways. The payoff for the workers is a marketable skillset and path to promotion; the company, and the industry, gains talent they can build on. Ryan Ahern, Bread Loaf Corporation’s director of safety and training, spearheads the initiative. Backed by the site’s construction foreman, lift operator, and other skilled construction workers, Ahern says the innovation turns part of his workforce into volunteer teachers for an eager pool of vetted, ready labor—who now will have to

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

Taught are fundamental skills such as tool use and general framing techniques, moving up to foundational carpentry, with such skills as building a stud wall and framing sequencing, familiarity with technical terminology, and lift safety. On average, Ahearn says, approximately 15 employees take classes every week. There’s even a translator for a hearingimpaired worker. Justin Wright, Bread Loaf Corporation’s site supervisor, says the program is an unexpected but remarkable part of the legacy of the $31 million Putnam Block Redevelopment Project, which is expected to serve as a model for rural downtowns throughout the Green Mountain State and in rural areas across the country. “We’re very happy with how this is working out for the workers showing us what they’ve got and for our skilled construction professionals, who are really impressing us with the care they’re giving to make sure the right skills are taught safely and in the right way. It not only improves workplace morale, it also provides a team building experience for the crew,” Wright said. In addition to renovating three buildings gracing the National Register listed Historic District, Phase I demolishes structures, executes environmental remediation, and creates parking and mixed-use office, residential, restaurant, and retail space. The block will boast 78,000 square feet of renovated space and 30 new market-rate and income-qualified apartments. Planners expect the work to draw more than 50 new residents downtown and to create hundreds of permanent jobs. The project, with M&S Development as development consultant and Stevens & Associates as lead design firm, is backed by more than 17 public and private sources and more than 20 local investors. The groundbreaking was Aug. 7. ■
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!” Despite an effort by the state of Vermont to reach 90 percent carbon-free energy by 2050, it’s still interesting to consider what fossil fuel
deposits remain untapped, perhaps forever, beneath the local bedrock. As Vermont moves away from adding more oil into its energy mix, it has welcomed the use of natural gas (all of it Canadian gas unless you consider local biogas such as what will be produced at the Goodrich Farm in Salisbury next year). But who knows? Perhaps this hidden, natural energy resource may be tapped to serve the people of Vermont in the faraway future. ■

Please help us continue to tell the stories of Vermont and New York’s North Country Each week, we do our best to provide our readers with timely, accurate community news, as well as coverage of education, features on engaging community members, and the high school sports coverage you have come to expect. We see it as our role to highlight the good things that are happening in our North Country communities, and to shine a spotlight on the many wonderful volunteers and organizations that might otherwise go unrecognized. More often than not, when we cover an event, we’re the only media there. Gone are the days when one of the paid regional dailies or local broadcast entities sent a camera operator and reporter to cover local events. Only the rare story that might have regional appeal is picked up by other entities. But while we’ve outlasted the competition for hyperlocal news, competition for advertising dollars – the lifeblood of our newspapers – has increased. At the same time, price increases beyond our control, affecting the cost of personnel, newsprint, supplies, equipment, and postage have increased and will continue to increase in the future. These challenges are not unique to The Eagle and The SUN. Newspapers across the country are struggling with the burden of increased costs and declining advertising revenues. In the past five years, more than 1,800 weaker publications have already collapsed under the weight. In looking for ways to control expenses, we’ve
attempted to make some reductions in our coverage area. In turn, readers, advertisers, and even town officials have stressed how important the role of The Eagle and The SUN plays in reaching and serving our rural communities. Now, before it is too late, we’re asking you to help us continue to perform The Eagle and The SUN’s mission of providing you with a source of compelling and accurate community news. Please consider for a moment the value you receive from the news, features, sports, commentary, fliers and local marketing information you read each week in your Eagle and SUN. Is that worth 50 cents a week to you? Or $1? Perhaps more? If so, then, please consider contributing to this critical source of local journalism. Some of our readers may recall, the concept of paying for a subscription to the weekly newspaper is not a new one. Not too many years ago, the only way to receive our local weekly newspaper was to pay for an annual subscription or to plop down 50 cents a copy at a local convenience store. Over the years, we made the decision to deliver the paper to every household, free of charge. In doing so, local merchants and commercial operators were anxious to have their information provided to the readers in The Eagle and The SUN, delivered through the U.S. Postal Service.
That model of distribution helped us to increase our circulation and fill a valuable void at a time when other newspapers were experiencing circulation declines. And, for several years, we saw a corresponding uptick in advertising because our clients gained the benefit of those additional readers through our expanded reach. But, with new advertising competition as well as changes in consumer buying habits, that trendline has changed. While local advertising is, and will remain, our core revenue source, current trends suggest that without reader support, advertising alone will not cover the high costs we face maintaining our current rural circulation reach. That is where you come in. By providing The Eagle and The SUN with Enhanced Support (see page 8), you will help preserve and strengthen this vital community resource. You will also be eligible for monthly prize drawings and be invited to join our staff for periodic events where you can share your thoughts about the community, the newspaper, and how we can make The Eagle and The SUN an even more vital part of your community. For more than sevent y years, Denton Publications, now rebranded as The Eagle and The SUN, has been telling the story of this magnificent area. With your support, we can continue to share the stories for many years to come. — The Eagle ■

Giving thanks For Vermont farmers, friends and food By Anson Tebbetts SECRETARY, VERMONT AGENCY OF AGRICULTURE, FOOD & MARKETS
We just celebrated the season of giving thanks. The autumn harvest is complete, and we thank farmers, particularly our Vermont farmers, for providing us with food. Thanksgiving is special time for family and friends to reconnect, pause and enjoy a few hours together over a meal - a meal, thanks to a farmer. Many of you will enjoy a fresh Vermont turkey that was raised by neighbors, perhaps filled with local bread or stuffing mix. Maybe you like to change it up around the dinner table, serving pork, chicken, lamb or beef. Vermont is blessed to have so many choices thanks to our farmers. From parsnips to potatoes, Vermont farmers statewide supply fresh vegetables to add to the repast. It might be spuds smothered in Green Mountain butter or butternut squash doused in pure Vermont Maple. It’s all made possible by a farmer or producer.
We raise our glasses to our farmers. The Thanksgiving toast might be a fresh glass of milk from one of our local dairies, or the cheers could come from Vermont’s outstanding wine, beer or spirit companies. We are thankful for their commitment to agriculture on this day and every day. Thanksgiving would not be a day for to give thanks without pumpkin, apple, or mince pie. Our desserts are made possible by our bakers and farmers. It’s a sweet way to complete the Thanksgiving meal. Thanksgiving is also a day to think of those less fortunate: neighbors helping neighbors… what Vermonters do. Farmers often are the first to contribute to their local food shelf or donate fresh products to a gleaning program. Their contributions make a difference to so many. Farmers also open their land to recreation. Hikers, hunters, anglers and other recreational enthusiasts are thankful for what farmers provide. We also give thanks to our farmers for their contributions to our land, water and hills. It’s been a challenging year with snow, rain and floods. But farmers are adapting and still feeding us. Those open fields and vistas don’t happen without hard
work and commitment to Vermont’s environment. Farmers work hard, 365 days a year, to care for our forests, open land, sugar woods and tree farms. Our visitors are thankful when they come to the Green Mountains in all five (mud!) seasons. We also give thanks to all those who support Vermont’s farmers and producers. Buying your food at a farmers’ market or at a local co-op called out with that Vermont label, buying local food through a CSA program at your place of business or shopping at one of Vermont’s many farmers markets. It might be giving gifts of Vermont products - we are thankful for those who ship a taste of Vermont all over the world. Commitments to buy local are meaningful and do not go unnoticed. They help all of us. Thank you for pausing and thinking about our tremendous assets this season – the harvest, the care we show each other, and our care of the land. We are blessed to have so many around the table thinking of our farmers, this Thursday, and every day. ■ — Anson Tebbetts is the Secretary of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets

Fake doctor convicted of possessing child pornography Texas man tricked a Middlebury student By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | A Texas man, who was
accused of posing as a medical a doctor as a way to “medically inspect” a Middlebury College student, was convicted of a federal charge of possessing child pornography in Burlington last week. In a federal court in downtown Burlington, the jury found Nam Vu Bui, 35, of Houston, Texas, guilty. The jury’s decision was on a felony
charge of possessing child pornography. Bui could spend 10 years in prison as a result of the jury’s outcome. In 2016, Bui was alleged to have sexually assaulted a Middlebury student in her dorm posing as a physician. However, Bui had claimed that he was on campus to see his girlfriend.
According to court records, Bui had convinced his Middlebury victim that he was an M.D. at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire. Addison County’s State’s Attorney Dennis Wygmans said he had dismissed some of the various charges against Bui so that a stronger federal prosecution effort could proceed against him. ■
Condos, others urge support of revised voting act Condos takes lead on proposed law From Staff & News Reports THE EAGLE
Jim Condos: “Senator Leahy, Senator Sanders, and Representative Welch have represented Vermont well as outspoken advocates for voting rights.” Photo by Lou Varricchio
MONTPELIER | Last week, Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos called upon members of Congress to pass comprehensive voting rights legislation. The U.S. House of Representatives may vote soon on the Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore the 1965 Voting Rights Act protections that were voided by the Supreme Court’s decision in Shelby County v. Holder. U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy authored and led 46 senators in introducing the Senate version of the Voting Rights Advancement Act earlier this year. “The right to vote is a sacred right enshrined in our Constitution,” said Condos. “In the last decade we have seen a renewed assault on voting rights in states across the country. It’s time for Congress to step up and ensure that every eligible American can access their right to register and vote.” Condos is a long-time champion for voter rights and access, and Vermont is seen as a national leader. Voter access reforms enacted in Vermont include automatic voter registration, same day voter registration, online voter registration and polling place look-up, deliberative voter checklist maintenance practices, and a no-excuse 45 day early voting period. “The erosion of civil rights, like the right to vote, is a threat to our very democracy,” said Condos. “The Shelby County decision opened the doors for discriminatory voter suppression laws in states around the country, allowing opponents of voting rights to use strict voter ID laws, aggressive voter registration checklist purging, and gerrymandering to strengthen their political power by suppressing the voting rights of minority communities.” In the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision, considered by liberal voting rights advocates to be a “damaging blow to

democracy”, the Court said that Congress needed to build a record of discriminatory activity. Following field hearings around the country by House Administration, the Voting Rights Advancement Act was introduced in February 2019. The Voting Rights Advancement Act was introduced by lead sponsor Senator Patrick Leahy, and was co-sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders. Representative Peter Welch is a co-sponsor of HR 4, the companion House bill. “Congress has the ability, and responsibility, to ensure that the rights of all American voters are upheld,” said Condos. “Senator Leahy, Senator Sanders, and Representative Welch have represented Vermont well as outspoken advocates for voting rights. I hope their colleagues will join with the Vermont delegation, and civil rights leaders from across the country, in this important voting rights advancement. In the spirit of those who have fought so hard throughout our country’s history to advance voting rights, it’s time to move forward, not backwards.” Condos, and legislative leaders in Vermont, have resisted the voting rights roll-backs seen in other states, which are often justified by baseless fearmongering and unsupported claims of widespread voter-fraud. As a result, Vermont has high registration rates and no problems with voter fraud. “Election integrity does not have to come at the expense of lawful voter access to the ballot box,” said Condos. ■

Remembering Jake Burton Carpenter Co-inventor of the snowboard From News Reports THE EAGLE
BURLINGTON | Jake Burton Carpenter (April 29, 1954 – Nov. 20, 2019), also known as Jake Burton, was an American snowboarder and founder of Burton Snowboards and one of the inventors of the modern day snowboard. He grew up in Cedarhurst, New York. After college, Carpenter’s interests returned to the slopes. Working from a barn in Londonderry, Vermont, he improved on the Snurfer, a basic toy snowboard which featured a rope to allow the rider some basic control over the board. By the late 1970s, he joined a small cadre of manufacturers who had begun selling snowboards with design
features such as a bentwood laminate core and a rigid binding which held the board firmly to the wearer’s boot. Burton is credited with developing the economic ecosystem around snowboarding as a lifestyle, sport, and culture, in addition to premier board manufacturer. Burton has been one of the world’s largest snowboard and snowboarding-equipment manufacturers since the late 1980s. Carpenter’s wife, Donna, serves as Burton Snowboards CEO. Carpenter resided in Stowe, Vermont, with his wife, Donna and his son, Timi. Carpenter also had two other sons, George and Taylor. Burton Carpenter was a member of the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame. Carpenter survived several health scares in his later
years: knee injuries, testicular cancer, pulmonary embolism, and, notably, the Miller Fisher variant of Guillain–Barré syndrome, a rare and serious neurological disorder. “It takes millions of years to move mountains, but Jake Burton Carpenter was able to do it in a single lifetime,” said Gov. Phil Scott last week.” From snowboarders being chased from the slopes to Olympic gold medals being placed around their necks, Jake led the way and changed winter as we know it. We are forever grateful for his contributions to Vermont and snow sports around the world.” Carpenter died Nov. 20, 2019, in Burlington, Vermont, after announcing reoccurrence of his cancer to Burton staff earlier in the month. ■

Survey seeks local farmers’ input By Lisa Halvorsen U VM EXTENSION SERVICE
MIDDLEBURY | Interest in pursuing agritourism opportunities is increasing among farmers and value-added producers in Vermont and other states as a means of enhancing farm viability and profits. Many manage farm stands and pickyour-own operations. Others host on-farm suppers, farm stays, school field trips, public tours, outdoor recreation and harvest events, among other experiences. To gauge the scope and impact of the industry nationwide, farmers throughout the country are being asked to participate in a short survey for a study led by the University of Vermont. The data will be used by cooperative extension and research personnel to develop resources to help increase the success of small- and medium-sized farms that offer on-farm direct sales, education, hospitality, recreation, entertainment and other types of agritourism. The survey, which will take about 10-15 minutes to complete, is available online
a go.uvm.edu/agritourismsur vey. All responses will be kept confidential, and participants may opt out of answering survey questions at any time. In addition to demographic and farm information, the survey will collect data on direct sales and agritourism experiences offered, visitor numbers and goals, successes, challenges and future plans for agritourism. Farmers also will be able to provide input on the types of support needed to achieve success with agritourism including on-farm direct sales. This multi-state survey and research project is being coordinated by Extension Professor Lisa Chase and Associate Professor David Conner, both with the University of Vermont, and funded through a Critical Agriculture Research and Extension grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture. Collaborators include research and cooperative extension faculty in California, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon and West Virginia. For questions regarding the survey, contact Lisa Chase at lisa.chase@uvm.edu or 802-2577967, ext. 311. ■

Goal lifts Panthers in NCAA semifinals From Campus New Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
MIDDLEBURY | Second-ranked Middlebury College advanced to the NCAA Championship game for the ninth time in program history after a 1-0 win over third-ranked Salisbury (20-2) Saturday at the Spooky Nook Sports Complex in Manheim, Pennsylvania. The two-time defending NCAA Champion Panthers (20-1) will face No. 6 Franklin & Marshall in the championship game on Sunday after this week’s Eagle goes to press. In the first quarter, Middlebury had the best chance to get on the scoreboard 4:38 into play. Erin Nicholas drove down the right side, lifting a shot from three yards out that Salisbury goalie Dom Farrace saved with her left pad. The second quarter saw Middlebury control much of the action in its offensive end. The Panthers had a pair of quality scoring opportunities, both coming on penalty corners. With just over six minutes left, Emma Johns received a pass driving toward the goal and lifted a shot from five yards that Farrace padded away. In the final minute, the Panthers worked the ball around the circle before Johns laced a shot that was saved by Farrace on the left side of the crease, sending the contest scoreless into the halftime break.
After the intermission on a penalty corner with 13:20 left in the third quarter, a shot from Marissa Baker on the left side was denied by Farrace. The Panthers broke through with the game’s first goal nearly seven minutes later. Olivia Green sent a long forward pass that found the stick of Nicholas on the run. She worked down the right side, threading a pass through a couple of Salisbury defenders before finding Katie George inside the circle. In one quick motion, George turned around and fired the ball inside the right post from seven yards out for the 1-0 lead with 6:27 left. The goal was George’s team-best 13th tally of the season. The Panthers fended off a fiveminute yellow card, not allowing a shot on goal to carry the lead into the final quarter. Middlebury finished with a 13-4 advantage in shots and a 10-6 edge in penalty corners. Harlan concluded the contest with one big fourth-quarter save for her eighth shutout, tying her with Megan Collins (2018) and Emily Miller (2015) for the most in a single season. Farrace made six stops for the Sea Gulls. Middlebury will play Franklin & Marshall for the fourth time overall, each coming in the NCAA Tournament. The Panthers are now 9-1 against ranked opponents this season. ■

Dear Friends: We hope you enjoy your weekly edition of The Eagle. Each week, we do our best to provide our readers with timely, accurate community news, as well as coverage of education, features on engaging community members, and the best high school sports round up. We see it as our role to highlight the good things that are happening in our rural communities, and to shine a spotlight on the many wonderful volunteers and organizations that might otherwise go unrecognized. However, as a small, independent newspaper company, we face many challenges. The cost of paper and postage continue to rise as we face ever-increasing competition for local advertising dollars, which make up more than 95 percent of our revenues. To help us continue to bring the community a compelling community news product, we are asking for your support. Please consider for a moment the value you receive: from the news, features, sports, commentary, fliers, and marketing materials each week in your Eagle community newspaper. Is that worth 50 cents a week to you? Or $1? Perhaps more? If so, we are asking you to help support our efforts so that we can continue to provide this community service for many years to come.
Your Basic Subscription to The EAGLE remains free, but if you see the value and have the ability, we are asking you to consider Enhanced Support with a contribution of $26 (50 cents per week), $52 ($1 per week), or any other amount you feel is appropriate. Regardless, we really need your support to keep publishing and delivering this newspaper! Even if you can’t support our efforts financially, by filling out the form below, you may help us qualify for significant discounts from the U.S Postal Service. All we need is some necessary information and your signature stating that you are requesting a three-year free subscription to The EAGLE. In the next few months, we will evaluate the support generated from this request. If sufficient support is raised, we hope to maintain news coverage and distribution at our current level. If not, other remedies to reduce overhead will need to be implemented. As always, we welcome your feedback. If there’s anything we can do to improve your reader experience, please contact me at ed@suncommunitynews.com. Sincerely, Ed Coats, Publisher
