MIDDLEBURY IA two-year commitment of $150,000 from the Porter Auxiliary has capped off an impressive two month fundraising campaign that has attracted more than $320,000 in community donations in support of a special renovation project at Helen Porter Rehabilitation and Nursing. "We have been overwhelmed by the response of our community to this appeal to create a state-of-the-art short-term rehabilitation unit and a home-like end-of-life care suite at Helen Porter, and now we can move forward with finalizing our renovation plans for the project," said PMC President Dr. Fred Kniffin. "When we launched our fund-raising efforts in early October, we felt that raising $300,000 by the end of the year would be a challenge, but we have been amazed at the community support and we are deeply gratified by the leadership commitment by the PM C Auxiliary which has put us over the top," he said.

The PMC Auxiliary is a membership organization led by a board ofl8 local citizens who organize three fund-raising events annually and oversee the work of the Round Robin Upscale Resale Shop. Each year the Auxiliary donates tens of thousands of dollars in support of Porter projects, and has donated well over $1 million over the past 20 years. "Porter and Helen Porter are invaluable parts of our community. We (the Auxiliary) have been supporting the work of Porter since 1934, and are pleased to continue our partnership with them," said current Auxiliary President, Anne Collins. Since early October, the leadership of Porter has been working closely with the Addison Respite Care Home (ARCH) board to raise funds and plan the end-of-life suite portion of the project. These plans call for two specially designed end-of-life rooms, each with a family room and access to a kitchenette and outdoor courtyard. Additionally, the renovation project will result in a renovated shortterm rehabilitation unit with both single and semi-private rooms to meet the growing community demand for sub-acute services. »

After graduating from UVM, he moved to California where he worked as a software developer and met his future wife, Mona, a chef and native Californian. In 2012, the young couple left the West Coast and moved to Vergennes with dreams of starting their own food-related business in the Little City.

I’m super handsome if I do say so myself. And I’m super sweet and I’m easy to have around. Needless to say I’m a big dog so I’ll need lots of room for me to romp around and spread out. I’m very playful and I do love toys so I hope my new owner stocks up on them for me. I’m social and I enjoy being with people. I like getting lots of love and attention and if you scratch my back I’ll hang out next to for quite a while. I’m a big love bug and if you want to cuddle I can help keep you warm this winter.

If I feel like you should be giving me more attention than I’m getting I’ll come over and nudge you a bit (just in case you’ve forgotten about me.) so you can rub my belly (oh, I do love belly rubs.) and give me the attention I crave. Since I’m a big fella, I’ll need lots of room to romp around and spread out. I’m a happy go lucky guy who acts like a puppy sometimes (a big puppy.).

The decline of the Rutland R.R., Part 2

Much of the right-of-way of the former Rutland Railroad was purchased by the State of Vermont after several fateful strikes precipitated the railway’s demise.

By the Rutland Railroad Historical Society, Rutland Railway Association and other sources SPECI A L TO THE EAGLE

Conclusion: After World War II the decline of the Rutland Railroad continued; many branches were closed down. In 1950 the company was reorganized as the Rutland Railway. The year 1953 brought three weeks of employee strike action, which killed off the remaining passenger service on the line. In 1955, the Rutland retired its last steam locomotives. In 1961, after further strikes, the railroad apparently decided it was no longer viable and applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for complete abandonment. This was approved, and the railroad closed down on May 20, 1963. The strike was brought on by the employees’ unwillingness to accept changes that would have moved the center of operations from Rutland to Burlington, requiring them to relocate from Rutland to Burlington. The railroad’s tracks in New York State were removed,

sealing off the previous connection in Chatham, N.Y., to New York City’s Grand Central Terminal via the New York Central’s Harlem Line. The changes would have lengthened the runs, running from Burlington to Bellows Falls or Ogdensburg on one day, staying over and then running back the next day. Under current operating orders railroaders would make the run from Rutland to Burlington or Bellows Falls and back in a day, or from Malone, N.Y., running out and back to Ogdensburg and Burlington. A few years later ,the national unions agreed to nationwide job changes that allowed this type of change. Much of the right-of-way was purchased by the State of Vermont. The Northern Division across the top of New York State from Ogdensburg to Norwood remains in tracks. Interestingly, it’s operated by Vermont Railway, so all the remaining trackage of the Rutland is operated by one company. Ownership of the railbed from Norwood to Burlington has been dispersed, but a 21-mile section from Norwood to Moira is the multi-use Rutland Trail. Other abandoned

sections make up all, or part,of the Hudson and Delaware Rail Trail, Corkscrew Rail Trail and the Alburg Recreation Rail Trail. Until it was relocated from Vermont to Scranton, Pa., the Steamtown Foundation, the Bellows Falls terminus was operated for tourist trains between the museum site and Chester. Following Steamtown’s departure from the Green Mountain State, several tourist trains using the original Rutland rolling stock were operated. While the classic Rutland Railroad is gone, it lives on in memory and in today’s rolling stock of its successors, the Green Mountain Railroad and Vermont Railway.

From the editor

Farmers get help with new tax reforms During the run up to passage of the Republican tax bill last week, few national news outlets bothered to mention the benefits of the bill to America’s farmers. Instead, all we heard was partisan gloom and doom about the rich and U.S. corporations. The same old class envy ploy was used by the opposition to the tax lan and reforms. Well, even with the usual partisan politics at play (as expected), Vermont’s farmers now have reason to be pleased with the tax plan becoming the law of the land. According to Chuck Connor of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, “The tax reform legislation passed by Congress recognizes the key

role that farmer co-ops and their members play in spurring economic growth across rural America. At a time of continued low commodity prices, the legislation will deliver much needed tax relief to producers; it will help ensure that co-ops continue to invest in their businesses in ways that create jobs and bolsters local communities.” Washington-based NCFC is a lobbying group with a mission to advance the business and policy interests of America’s ag cooperatives and other farmer-owned enterprises. They help ag co-ops from California to Vermont. Vermont farmers can thank two Midwestern senators who made sure that this legislation

would work for agriculture everywhere—U.S. Sen. John Thune of South Dakota and U.S. Sen. John Hoeven of North Dakota. We’d like to report that Vermont’s two senators, Leahy and Sanders, were genuinely helpful and concerned about farming interests in the tax plan, but in reality they blocked the bill at every step of the way while playing partisan politics at its every twist and turn. NCFS’c Connor told the Eagle that Senators Thune and Hoeven crafted provisions in the bill that ensured that the elimination of the “Section 199 deduction” would not result in a tax increase for co-ops or their farmer members. - The Editor ■

As the Vermont State Legislature plans its agenda for the 2018 session, our elected leaders might consider addressing some of the issues highlighted by the business magazine, Forbes, regarding our economic situation. Out of the 50 states, Forbes ranks Vermont 48 for business climate. Only Alaska and West Virginia project a more dismal future than we do.

BRIEFS Lockerby arrested

Among the categories the magazine looked at, Vermont ranked 47th for business costs, 44th in regulatory environment, 44th in economic climate, and, most worrisome, 49th in growth prospects. The “bright spots” for our state were middling scores in labor supply (28th) and quality of life (23rd). That poor score on quality of life for Vermont, where we usually score in the top ten, was a bit of a shocker. The report also notes that the cost of doing business in Vermont is 12 percent

FERRISBURGH | On Dec. 18, the Vermont State Police conducted a motor vehicle stop on U.S. Route 7 in Ferrisburgh. The operator of the vehicle was identified as Michael Lockerby, 37, of South Burlington. During the traffic stop, troopers learned that Lockerby’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle was under criminal suspension. Lockerby was subsequently placed under arrest

above the national average, our job growth rate for 2017 was just 0.9 percent, and our net migration in 2016 was -1900. From the report:“At $31 billion, Vermont has the smallest economy in the U.S. Its five-year average unemployment rate of 4 percent was the fourth lowest among states, but Vermont suffers from business costs that are 12 percent above the national average. The state’s economic outlook is also weak—projected to be the second worst in the U.S. over the next five years. Income growth is also expected

Getting out will require a very different mindset and priorities. It can be done. In just a few political cycles, North Carolina has reformed its tax and regulatory environment dramatically.

Troopers initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and identified the operator as Jacob King, 18, of Salisbury. King was subsequently arrested and transported to the VSP New Haven Barracks for processing. King was relased on citation to appear at the Addison County Courthouse on Feb. 26 to answer to the charge of excessive speed. ■

Accident on Big Hollow Road STARKSBORO | On Dec. 18, at approximately 11:41 a.m., Vermont State Police were notified of a two-car motor vehicle collision on Big Hollow Road in Starksboro. State Police arrived on scene and identified the first motorist as Kelsey Roberts of Starksboro. Roberts advised that prior to the collision she was travelling eastbound on Big

Hollow Road at approximately 25-30 mph. Roberts stated that she looked down briefly and the next thing she remembered was her airbags deploying. The second motorist was identified as Kasandra Clark of Williston. Clark told troopers that prior to the collision, she was travelling westbound on Big Hollow Road at approximately 30-35 mph.

Clark advised that a vehicle travelling eastbound proceeded into her lane of travel and that she steered as far right as possible to avoid a collision. Clark advised that the vehicle still struck her head on. Both vehicles were totaled as a result of the collision. Both operators and a passenger in Clark’s vehicle sustained injuries as a result of the collision.

State Police do not believe alcohol or drugs were a contributing factor in the collision. Police determined that Roberts had operated her vehicle in a careless and negligent manner. He will be required to appear in Addison County Criminal Court on Feb. 26 to answer to the charge of careless and negligent operation. ■

Israeli artist likes Middlebury audiences By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

MIDDLEBURY | For residents of Addison County,

Middlebury College offers a wonderful selection of cultural events, ranging from the performing arts to the visual arts and cinema, that you just can’t find outside of New York City, Boston and Montreal. It’s especially gratifying when

Pianist Shai Wosner plays an all-Schubert program at Middlebury’s Mahaney Center for the Arts Jan. 12.

popular artists, who have dazzled local audiences, return to campus to entertain. That’s why accomplished pianist Shai Wosner’s return to Middlebury on Friday, Jan. 12, is a special event. The concert will start at 8 p.m. at the Kevin P. Mahaney Center for the Arts’ Robison Hall at 72 Porter Field Rd. on campus. Born in Israel and educated at Juilliard, the pianist has attracted international recognition for his “exceptional artistry, musical integrity, and creative insight.” According to Liza Sacheli, director of the college’s Mahaney Center for the Arts Performing Arts, Middlebury’s Allison Coyne Carroll first “discovered” Wosner when he visited Middlebury in 2011, as part of audience favorite Sophie Shao’s chamber ensemble, followed by a solo concert in 2013. Coyne Carroll was instrumental in bringing Wosner back to campus next month. Wosner’s Jan. 12 concert program will include opuses 42, 51, and 78, the “Fantasie.” These late sonatas are not only the culmination of Schubert’s piano works, but also some of the most profound essays in all of music, according to Sacheli. “We have certainly heard late Schubert sonatas performed before on the Robison stage—and even on the Liebowitz piano,” added Coyne Carroll, “but the works are often a revelation in the hands of a different pianist, especially one as exceptional and insightful as Shai.” This concert is part of the Nelson Chamber Music Series, an important program within the Middlebury Performing Arts Series, with support from PASS producer-level members Marny and Rob Lichtenstein. Known worldwide as a foremost interpreter of the works of the Austrian composer Franz Schubert, Wosner will be a real treat to hear during his all-Schubert program at the Mahaney Center for the Arts Jan. 12.

Public invited in hospital review process By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

MONTPELIER | The Green Mountain Care Board will hold a public meeting on Jan. 3, 4-6 p.m., to solicit input from the public on the hospital budget review process. Act 48 provides the Board with regulatory authority over Vermont’s hospitals through the annual review of hospital budgets. Every year the Board reflects on the previous year’s regulatory process and makes changes to ensure that budget growth is sustainable, while working to control costs and make healthcare

more affordable for Vermonters. The meeting will take place on the second floor of the City Center building at 89 Main St. in Montpelier “I was pleased to see that many of the hospitals’ budget submissions were below our requested net patient revenue cap, while also making investments that will improve the quality of care for patients,” said GMC Board Chairman Kevin Mullin. “While this year’s increases continue the trend of historically low growth, I believe there is much still to do to make health care more affordable and accessible for Vermonters, and to continue to improve the quality of care Vermonters receive at our hospitals.” ■

rehabilitation services”, Kniffin added. “This project will provide our community with new facilities that will support the outstanding work of our Helen Porter staff in caring for a wide-spectrum of needs,” he added. ARCH Board Member Joel Miller believes that this project will represent a major step forward in the collaboration between his organization and Porter for the benefit of the community. “The completion of the new ARCH suites will realize the long term goal of the ARCH mission: to provide the finest home-like setting for our friends and neighbors at end of life as well as a comfortable space for their families to gather. We are grateful to PMC leadership for the opportunity to collaborate with them in this successful fund raising campaign and to the many, many folks who have donated to this effort.” ARCH has donated $65,000 of its own funds to support this project. Porter is working with Bread Loaf Corporation on the design and construction of this $900,000 project, with plans for a winter start and early summer completion. ■

Police seek leads in Mac store robbery

By Lou Varricchio THE EAGLE

RUTLAND | Vermont State Police officials of the VSP Rutland Barracks are seeking leads in robbery at the Macs Convenience Store in East Wallingford. On Dec. 19, at approximately 6:06 p.m., members of the Vermont State Police were dispatched to Macs Convenience store located at 263 Route 103 for a hold up alarm activation. According to Det. Sgt. Henry Alberico, a store clerk told him that a white female subject had attempted to rob him. “The clerk described the suspect was covering her face with a black scarf, was approximately 5’4”-5’6” tall, 185 lbs., and was wearing a blue hooded sweat shirt, dark pants, entered the store and demanded that the clerk place the money drawer on the counter,” according to a VSP statement. “The female subject stated she had a knife and attempted to pushed her way past the clerk. When the clerk refused to obey the female subject’s demands, she exited the store and walked in a southerly direction on Route 103.” On Dec. 20, troopers from the Rutland Barracks arrested Jennifer Graham, 36, of Mt. Holly for her involvement in the attempted armed robbery of the store. Further investigation resulted in troopers linking Graham to a second assault and robbery at a residence on Earl Waite Road in East Wallingford. Graham has been charged with two counts of assault and robbery, interference with access to emergency services, and unlawful mischief. Graham was later lodged within the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility for lack of $5,000 bail, issued by the Honorable Judge Hoar. Although an arrest has been made, this case is ongoing. Additional arrests may result. nyone with information regarding the above incidents is encouraged to contact Tpr. Charles Gardner of the Rutland Barracks 773-9101. ■

Middlebury alpine skiing preview From College News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury College women’s alpine ski team returns nearly a full squad to the slopes for the 2018 campaign. Last year’s team results saw the Panthers come on strong with third-place finishes in the final three carnivals of the season prior to NCAA competition. Middlebury qualified five of six potential racers to the NCAAs, where the team finished 14th overall. Returning to the carnival circuit this season are 2017 NCAA qualifiers Caroline Bartlett and Jackie Atkins. In her sophomore season, Bartlett picked up three carnival wins and finished in the top five on five different occasions, earning second-team All-East honors. All three of her wins came in the giant slalom, including a big victory at St. Lawrence by a margin of 3.89 seconds over her nearest competitor. Atkins had an impressive rookie year, earning top-15 finishes seven different times, including a 10th-place effort in the GS at the EISA Championships hosted by Bates. Junior Lexi Calcagni and sophomore Katie Utter both produced solid results a year ago. Calcagni earned a pair of top-10 finishes,

including an eighth-place performance in the GS at the Middlebury Carnival. Utter placed in the top 20 six times in 2017, with a season-best 11th-place finish in the opening GS at St. Lawrence. Junior Bridget Currier and a pair of first-year racers will bolster the Panther squad this winter. On the men’s side, the Panthers graduated a very deep group and will have some carnival spots open in 2018. Three veteran racers will aid the team’s effort this season, as seniors Devon Cardamone and Riley Plant and junior Angie Duke return with quality carnival experience. Cardamone earned a season-best secondplace finish in the giant slalom at the Vermont Carnival a year ago. He also posted a pair of 12th-place efforts in the GS events at St. Lawrence and at the EISA Championships hosted by Bates. Plant has seven career top-10 finishes to his credit, placing seventh last year in the GS events at St. Lawrence and Middlebury. He earned a career-best fifth-place finish at the EISA Championships in 2015 at St. Lawrence. Duke crossed the line in 10th place in the GS to open the season at St. Lawrence a year ago, placing 12th in the slalom at the EISA Championships hosted by Bates.

Middlebury 2018 Alpine Skiing Preview: Caroline Bartlett and Riley Plant along with their teammates open the alpine season on Jan. 20-21 at the Colby Carnival. Photo by Middlebury College Joining the group will be senior Jack Schibli and a pair of newcomers, who will challenge for carnival spots. Lead by head coach Stever Bartlett, now in his 12th season at the helm of the program, the Panthers began their season with a November camp in Loveland, Colo., and pick things up after the winter break with a train-

ing camp at the Snow Bowl. Middlebury’s six-carnival schedule begins with the Colby Carnival on Jan. 20-21. St. Michael’s, Vermont, Dartmouth and Williams will host before action comes to Middlebury for the EISA Championships on Feb. 23-24. The NCAA Championships are slated for March 7-10. ■

Filling Vermont state vacancies By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

MIDDLEBURY | It takes a lot of brain power as well as political will to run Vermont’s state bureaucracy. That’s why last month was a busy one for Gov. Phil Scott. Scott was elected a year ago as Vermont’s first fiscally conservative Republican governor since Jim Douglas. At the end of November, the first-term governor culled through resumes and talked with advisors to make his final pick of 42 Vermonters to various state boards and commissions. Last week, Scott made his 42 picks. According to a news statement by Scott administration spokesperson Rebecca Kelley, “Boards and commissions serve an important role in state government, giving Vermonters numerous opportunities to serve their state and communities.” In spite of the 42 appointments, more remain. All those interested in serving on a board or commission should visit the Governor’s website at governor.vermont.gov/boardscommissions to apply. Recent appointments made by Scott: SerVermont Rep. Daniel Noyes of Wolcott Christy Gallese of Starksboro Bob McCabe of St. Johnsbury Nicole Whalen of Bolton Tyler Davis of Burlington Benji Thurber of Burlington Lee White of Barre Jason Gosselin of Williston State Rehabilitation Council Robin Ingenthron of Middlebury Marlene Hughes of Derby Nick Caputo of Chelsea Deborah Boyce of Underhill Sarah Launderville of Williamstown Vermont Developmental Disabilities Council Jesse Suter of Fairfax Hannah Neff of Brattleboro Steve Kieselstein of Burlington Kaiya Andrews of Waterbury Center Governor’s Commission on Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Mohamed Basha of South Burlington

Provisionary expanded this past summer to include a small store-front at 7 South Maple St., next to the barber shop. Mona and Jon transformed the recently rezoned space into a bright and cozy “farmhouse-esque” market that sells high-quality fresh produce, meat, cheese, fresh bread, eggs, dairy and pantry items, all 100 percent Vermont grown and made. Foodies and family members from near and far showed support for the brick and mortar version of Provisionary by contributing over $13,000 via Kickstarter to fund the renovations and equipment necessary to open their doors. “We are so thankful for all of the support we have received this year,” exclaims Mona. “Our dream of having more fresh and healthy foods in Vergennes is alive.” The former California girl appears to be smitten with her husband’s home town. “This little city has been a wonderful place to start our business,” Mona added. “There is a very strong food and beverage scene here, and given the size of our community, that’s very impressive! There is also a fresh vibrancy in Vergennes that doesn’t exist in most small towns.” When it comes to attitudes about food, Mona sees similarities between the Golden State and the Green Mountain State. She reflects, “Both Vermont and California have thriving locavore cultures, where the seasons are celebrated and people prefer to buy food grown and produced locally through CSAs, farmers markets and specialty markets. Here in Vermont, we don’t have the advantage of yearround growing conditions, but that doesn’t seem to stop folks. Even with our primarily rural make-up, Vermont leads the country in the locavore movement per capita.” Jon and Mona are counting on that locavore movement to help their new Vergennes business thrive for years to come. If you’d like to check it out, Provisionary Market is open for shopping Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10-5. If you can’t stop in to see, smell and taste the Vermont-made goodies in person, visit Provisionarybox.com They ship items and gift boxes (such as the popular Wicked Sweet Gift Box) across the country. ■ Editor’s note: Special thanks to the Vergennes Partnership for this story.

LAKE SALMON: Fishermen Ron Winter of Essex Jct., wearing a yellow coat, Steve Elmer of Shelburne, with fish, and Randy Columb had a very good day on Lake Champlain. The anglers caught several fish including this 10-pound tasty-looking, land-locked salmon. Winter’s fish measured 26.5 inches by 19 inches in girth. Vermont’s big lake has adjoining streams for spawning and rearing habitat to sustain its naturally reproducing salmon population. “A nine- and a 10-pounder (salmon) taken in the same week is truly rarefied air,” Columb told the Eagle.
