Inns welcome returning Guardmembers

MIDDLEBURY — A group of Vermont's finestcountry inns and bed and breakfasts are offeringfree stays this winter to members of the VermontNational Guard, who are returning home from aone-year tour of duty in Afghanistan.

The 18 inns are members of Select Registry, Dis-tinguished Inns of North America – which repre-sents top-quality inns in the United States andCanada.

Nearly 1,500 Vermont National Guard soldiersare returning home from Afghanistan after partici-pating in the Vermont Guard’s largest mobilizationsince World War II. The first soldiers returned homebefore Thanksgiving, and the rest are expectedhome by Christmas.

The Vermont Select Registry inns are offering afree one-night stay to any returning Guard memberduring the months of January, February and March2011; the offer applies to stays on Sunday throughThursday nights.

The offer was organized by Dan Brown, co-own-er with his wife Michele of the Swift House Inn inMiddlebury. Brown, a retired Navy pilot and fatherof a son currently serving in the Mid East, said hewanted to do something to recognize the contribu-tions Guard members have made to the country,and to honor the sacrifices they have made.

"These fine men and women have endured in-credible circumstances that most Americans can'teven imagine," Brown said. "My fellow innkeepersand I wanted to do something to recognize theirservice and tell them, in a heartfelt way, 'Welcomehome.' "

Guard Members wanting to take advantage of theoffer need only to contact one of the participatinginns. A list, including telephone numbers and website addresses, is attached.

STARKSBORO — The Town of Starksboro and Robinson Ele-mentary School have taken steps to keep the lid on increasingenergy costs by installing a total of 25 solar panels to capture thesun’s energy and turn it into electricity to power their facilities.

The solar array, which went on-line October 1st, was the re-sult of an agreement with AllEarth Renewables of Hinesburg.AllEarth approached the Selectboard with a five-year powerpurchase proposal wherein they would install the panels and thetown would agree to purchase the power at a fixed rate that isslightly lower rate than Green Mountain Power ’s rate. “Thatshould be a good deal,” said Selectboard Chair Susan Jefferies,who, like many people, expects electric rates to rise over theyears. They are hoping that being locked in at a low rate willbenefit the town’s bottom line.

At the end of the 5 year term, the town and the school havewill several options: they can choose to cancel completely andhave AllEarth remove the panels; they can renew with another

five years contract; or they can complete an outright purchasefor 30 percent of the original cost of the array.

The panels are quite hightech. They are mounted onpoles and have built-in track-ing devices that track the sunas it moves across the sky. Atsundown, the tracker goesinto a “resting” horizontal po-sition. If it snows at night,which is a sure thing in Starks-boro, the tracker will “wakeup” in the morning and tilt tothe sun, causing most of thesnow that has collected onthem to slide off. Any remaining snow will melt as the panelsheat up during the day.

According to AllEarth’s website, the trackers work well, evenin cold, gloomy Vermont weather, and they will still generate

CASTLETON — The Castleton State Col-lege Campus Center has recently beenawarded LEED Gold certification as estab-lished by the U.S. Green Building Counciland verified by the Green Building Certifi-cation Institute.

There are only 11 other LEED Gold or Plat-inum Certified buildings in Vermont.

The $7.1 million Campus Center, whichopened in the fall of 2009, was designed as ahigh performance green building. To con-struct the new building, the old CampusCenter, which was built of cinderblocks inthe 1970s, was totally renovated and incor-porated into the attractive and enlarged de-sign.

Castleton President Dave Wolk said, “Thisis an example of Castleton’s dedication tosustainability. We took a building that wasinefficient and uncomfortable and turned itinto a gem.”

The original goal of the project was toachieve LEED Silver certification, but JMZArchitects and Planners of Glens Falls , NewYork, exceeded those expectations.

Bob Joy, a managing principal of JMZ,said, “The design team found innovativeways to reuse or repurpose 97 percent of the

materials in the existing building, which re-duced construction waste. They also incor-porated an extremely efficient building en-velope, high-efficiency interior lighting, ad-vanced heating, ventilating, and air condi-tioning and control systems, innovative wa-ter use technologies, and sustainable mate-rials throughout.”

“The green building movement offers un-precedented opportunity to respond to themost important challenges of our time, in-cluding global climate change, dependenceon non-sustainable and expensive sourcesof energy and threats to human health,” saidRick Fedrizzi, President, CEO, and foundingchair of the U.S. Green Building Council.“The work of innovative building projectssuch as the Castleton Campus Center is afundamental driving force in the greenbuilding movement.”

ISaveRx: A Cautionary TaleOn Nov. 29 the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals

closed, at least for the time being, the latestchapter in Vermont's long-running War Against

the Drug Industry. More on that later.Ever since the latter years of the Dean Administration,

Vermont's liberal legislators have found one rationale afteranother to launch demagogic attacks on the drug manufac-turers. The cause of this recurring urge is the desire of pa-tients for cheaper pharmaceuticals.

In 2000 Gov. Dean announced he would attempt to add175,000 people to Medicaid to let them take advantage ofMedicaid's discount for medications. A federal appealscourt ruled a year later that Dean's plan was a unautho-rized enlargement of Federal Medicaid program.

The same year the Vermont Senate narrowly approved aprovision imposing state price controls on pharmaceuti-cals, which would likely have made most of them unavail-able in the state. The House declined to go along.

Two years later another bitter battle ensued over a billthat sought to impose sizable license fees on drug manu-facturers and their salespersons. Those provisions too weredropped.

Early in 2005 Gov. Douglas and the legislature cooperat-ed to put Vermonters into the Illinois ISaveRx program.This was a state run program where Vermonters could callin their brand-name prescriptions (sorry, no generics) andhave them filled by a foreign pharmacy. Most were filledin Canada, where the provinces impose price controls ondrugs sold into their government health systems.

ISaveRx ran into three problems. The Federal Food andDrug Administration forcefully reiterated that it is illegalfor a state to import price controlled drugs into the US (ex-cept for "personal use"). In early 2005 it initiated seizure ofmore than one fourth of ISaveRx's incoming drug ship-ments to make its point.

In July of that year the Canadian Health Minister put astop to Canadian pharmacy participation in ISaveRx, not-ing that his country would no longer serve as "a cheapdrug store for the United States". ISaveRx had to go everfurther abroad to find product, raising persisting questionsabout drug manufacturing safety.

Then in September 2006 the Illinois Auditor General is-

sued a scathing report on theprogram. He found that in its19 months of operation fewerthan 5,000 persons had madeuse of the program - twothirds of them Illinoisans.Worse, the participatingpharmacies were operatingillegally, and the state wasmaking little effort to assuredrug safety. The auditoridentified over $1 million inwaste in the first 19 months.

A month later private en-terprise came to the rescue.In October 2006 WalMart, followed by K-Mart, announceddramatic price-cutting for 314 common generic drug prod-ucts in 14 states, including Vermont. With this announce-ment, and the ensuing response from online and retailcompetitors, ISaveRx became increasingly irrelevant.

The program limped on, apparently for two more years.In January 2009 the Illinois legislature impeached and re-moved from office the program's biggest booster, Gov. RodBlagojevich. A month later the program quietly disap-peared. There was no memorial service in Montpelier.

Inquiries made in 2010 to the Vermont Agency of HumanServices triggered an exhaustive and ultimately fruitlessinternet and telephone effort to find out how many Ver-monters were making use of ISaveRx, or whether it still ex-isted. By then it didn't, but Illinois had never bothered totell Vermont, and Vermont had long ago lost interest in it.

Now for last month's court case. Act 80 of 2007 sought toban the sale or use of commercial "data mining" to im-prove marketing of prescription drugs. The U.S. SecondCircuit held that unconstitutional: "The legislative findingsare explicit that Vermont aims to do exactly what has beenso highly disfavored [by the courts] - namely, put thestate's thumb on the scales of the marketplace of ideas inorder to influence conduct."

Big Pharma, with its embrace of high entry barriers fornew products and patent law manipulation, ought not beimmune from political attack. But 12 years of liberal chest-thumping against Big Pharma, involving at least two judi-cial embarrassments and a failed program, has produced,essentially, nothing but a lot of demagoguery, bureaucracy,legal costs, and incompetence - plus, admittedly, some co-erced "supplementary discounts" and lots of useful namerecognition for the leading chest thumper, Sen. PeterShumlin.

It’s cliché to write serious stuff, stuff that’s designedto make holiday revelers spend less time thinking ofthemselves and more time thinking of those who’re

experiencing anything but reverie this holiday season.Just cause it’s cliche, doesn’t make it wrong. (See Dick-

ens, Charles Shultz, Dr. Seuss)There’s Rob, who nine months ago had “a pain in my

side,” that when checked turned out to be only a bit of thecancer that was present throughout a great deal of hisbody. Hmmm, one day you’re eating kale after a heartyhike, the next you’re hearing you’ve less than a year tolive. Rob did well through treatment, continuing his work-outs and happily communing with friends … for six or somonths, then his health went south. He died a week ago.

There’s the ma and pa and extended family that receiveda call one early July morning notifying them their twenty-one year old boy died in a car accident. The wood the sonand his buddy had earlier that morning blocked hadn’teven spilled from the bed of the truck. It’s still laying inthe bed, five months later.

Another “I had a pain in my side,” that less than a yearlater turned into a “two months to live,” verdict, has Joeliving a quarter mile from the wife he’s separated fromand divorcing. She brings him food, says he’s depressed.So for Joe’s Christmas there’s the dying, and the hard feel-ings from the bitter divorce that pre-dates his diagnosis.And a Fa la la la la to you too.

The doc called Polly in for a second mammogram tomake sure a bit of calcification shouldn’t be a major con-cern. Turned out it was. The calcification turned out to bea stage zero cancer, which is the stage you want if youhave to have cancer. Polly had two choices; have a lumpec-tomy and radiation, or, a more for sure cure, have a breastremoved. She went for the for sure cure. The operationwent perfectly well, and better yet, the biopsy of the sur-rounding lymph nodes showed not a trace of any cancer.None. All systems for more life lived long are go. Pollywill be home for this and many holidays to come, but still,not a treat of an experience to go through, and a good dealof adapting lies ahead.

I’ll not suggest during this holiday season (or any time)we should go around being sad, or trying to feel empathyfor those who’re going through very trying times;

I’ll not suggest we should spend any amount of timesending positive thoughts to folks who’re suffering;

I’ll not suggest we volunteer somewhere, if only duringthe holidays;

I’ll suggest we clear our fantastic lives of all crazythoughts and ill feelings and self-imposed bull crap“stress” we stew about much too often, and realize we’vegot it made.

Yeah, that includes you guys who say you dread Christ-mas and like Thanksgiving better because Christmas hasbecome too commercial. Big damn deal man. You know,you don’t have to pay attention to the commercialism. I

should say if you’re too of-ten getting nailed directlybetween the eyes by thecommercialism, you mightbe spending too much timepaying attention to thewrong thing, … so, turn offthe television, go to thekitchen and make yourself aginger ale float, then put onyour jammies, set in yourcomfy chair and read aChristmas poem. Or do something.

Christmas is what you want it to be my buddy.Shape and wise up, cause next year you might wish you

could be bothered by all the commercialism our modernChristmas season might bring.

Vermont named greeneststate in America, again

MONTPELIER – Gov. James Douglas recently announcedthat a new report by the website 24/7 Wall St ranks Vermontas the greenest state in America. The report considered en-ergy consumption, pollution problems and state energy poli-cies in evaluating the environmental standing of states.

“This most recent report reaffirms the Green MountainState’s reputation as the greenest state in America,” saidGovernor Douglas. “Our strong record of environmentalstewardship includes the nation’s smallest carbon footprintand the greenest energy portfolio. I’ve fought for tougherautomobile emissions standards and against threats to ourstate’s air quality, and was the first Governor to sign ontothe Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). All Ver-monters can be proud of our state’s deep commitment to ahealthy environment.”

This is not the first time Vermont has been singled out asthe America’s environmental leader. In 2007, Forbes Mag-azine named Vermont the “America’s Greenest State.” In2009, Vermont was again named the “Greenest State” ac-cording to an Earthsense Eco-Insights Survey. And thatsame year Governor Douglas was named one of the top-ten“Green Governors” in the nation by Greenopia, an online di-rectory of eco-friendly retailers, services, and organizations.

According the 24/7 Wall St: “The state releases the fewestcarcinogenic toxins and has the smallest carbon footprint inthe country.

(To the tune “Oh Christmas Tree”)

The holidays won’t bejolly days

When injuries occur so manyways!

Yes it’s holiday season onceagain, and what better time toremind everyone of some sim-ple things you can do to keepyou and your children safe andsound.

First if you have a holidaytree, secure it well to keep itfrom tipping. If it is a live tree, make sure its fresh, green,and that the needles are hard to pull off. Keep it well wateredand away from floor heaters, fireplaces, or other heat sources.If it is artificial, make sure it is fire resistant. Keep no morethan 3 strands of lights linked together on an extension cordand never use electric lights on a metal tree. Don’t forget toinspect those light strings each year for frayed cords, crackedlamp holders or loose connections.

If there are children in the home, tinsel, small decorations,ornaments, and bulbs should not be at the bottom of the treewhere small children can reach for them and then put intotheir mouths. In addition, some of the light products boughtat stores warn about lead content in the wires. While theamount of lead contained in these wires is small, it is still agood idea to not ask children to hang lights and keep thewires as well as the lights out or reach of children. Weargloves to hang the lights and wash hands after you have fin-ished your decorating. You can also look for lead-free holidaylights but these may be hard to find.

As for candles, avoid putting them on trees and please keepcandles placed elsewhere out of reach of small children, orjust don’t light them up at all if there are children in thehouse. Turn off all lights and blow out all candles when yousleep or leave the house to avoid a potential fire hazard andof course make sure your smoke detector is working.

Most holiday plants are safe, but remember that mistletoeand holly berries eaten in excess can be dangerous. If yourchild does snack on a holiday plant, you can always call theNortheast Regional Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222.

If you are hosting a party in your home, don't forget toclean up the night of the party so your child doesn't discoveralcohol or small snack foods that can be choking hazards themorning after.

To wrap up: (To the tune of The Christmas Song - also known as

“Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire”)And so if you’re following my safety tipsYou’ll keep your cool and will not flip your lidsThis is pediatrician Dr. Lewis FirstHoping you’ll be First with Kids!Happy holidays everyone!

By Guy Page

Just two days after electing their new governor, Ver-monters also learned that the Vermont Yankee nu-clear power plant is for sale. For many years this

plant has provided one-third of Vermont's electricity at alow, fixed cost with virtually no carbon emissions. Ver-monters may fairly wonder what the future impact willbe on the cost of electricity, the economy, and the envi-ronment.

And yet, nothing of real significance to Vermont Yankeehas changed. While Governor-elect Peter Shumlin, a Yan-kee opponent, won narrowly, Lt. Governor-elect PhilScott – a Vermont Yankee supporter – won by a largermargin. The relicensing vote remains in the hands of theLegislature. And regardless of who owns the plant todayor in the future, its continued operation is very importantfor Vermonters.

In January, the legislature should take a fresh, dispas-sionate look at Vermont Yankee. To get politics out of thisimportant decision, the legislature should empower theVermont Public Service Board and Department of PublicService, which have expertise on these matters, to deter-mine Yankee’s future.

Despite November ’s headlines, three central facts areunchanged and must be considered.

With or without Vermont Yankee, almost all of Ver-mont’s electricity will still come from traditional, baseload power plants fueled by hydro, coal, natural gas andnuclear power. Today, 270 megawatts of Vermont Yan-kee’s electricity is used by Vermonters on a typical day.Renewable power and efficiency might possibly producea third of that amount in the next five to ten years. Evenif that ambitious marker is reached, the other 180megawatts would still come from base load sources.

The question is whether Vermont utilizes our largest in-state base load power provider, Vermont Yankee, or theNew England power grid, through which Vermonters willthen burn mostly fossil fuels to power their refrigerators,televisions, and lights. New England smokestacks willemit tons of air pollution and particulates on behalf ofVermonters who thought, mistakenly, they were “goinggreen.” This could include as much as two million addi-tional tons of carbon dioxide annually. Additionally, ifVermont Yankee closes nearly 1,300 jobs and millions inannual taxes would be lost.

Without Vermont Yankee’s power, Vermonters will paymore for electricity. Vermont consumers have been lulledinto complacency by years of stable, low rates. This isthanks in good part to Vermont Yankee, which has savedVermonters well over $300 million since 2002 and ensuredthat the state’s electricity rates remain well below theNew England average. While many factors will ultimate-ly determine how much Vermont pays for electricity if itloses Vermont Yankee, Dr. Howard Axelrod, an independ-ent energy expert, has estimated that Vermont electricrates will rise 19 to 39 percent if the plant closes. Such aprice hike would be a major impediment to job creation inenergy intensive industries such as manufacturing, gro-cery, ski resorts, and hospitality, and could force somebusinesses to leave the state.

As power purchase agreement negotiations are continu-ing, policy makers should have an open mind to a futureannouncement and allow the independent experts at thePublic Service Board and Department of Public Service toscrutinize it. Considering that wind, biomass, solar, andother renewable sources can cost several times theamount of Vermont Yankee’s power, additional patienceon behalf of Vermonters is certainly in order.

It appears the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC) will determine Vermont Yankee should operate un-til 2032. In June of this year, the NRC, in its annual as-sessment, stated that the plant has been operated safelyand provided Vermont Yankee with its highest safety rat-ing -- green.

Since Vermont Yankee applied for license renewal in2006, the NRC, as part of its separate, exhaustive licenserenewal process, has spent tens of thousands of hoursdoing in-depth technical and environmental assessments.In August 2007, the NRC’s environmental report recom-mended license renewal as did a February 2008 SafetyEvaluation Report. Thus, there do not appear to be mate-rial issues, from a scientific and engineering standpoint,that will impede license renewal.

Vermont Yankee is important for many jobs in the stateand is a central reason Vermont has electricity rates wellbelow the New England average and the lowest carbonemissions in the country. Policy makers should keep thesefactors in mind in the weeks and months ahead.

BRISTOL — The fifth grade students at Bristol Elementarywill receive an early holiday gift on Thursday—netbookcomputers. The distribution of these small and powerfulportable computers is part of the package of services Bristolis receiving after being selected by the e-Vermont Commu-nity Broadband Project. One of e-Vermont’s statewide part-ners, the educational nonprofit Digital Wish, is workingclosely with schools in all 12 e-Vermont towns to demon-strate what’s possible when every student in a classroom hastheir own computer.

According to Digital Wish’s Executive Director HeatherChirtea, "Digital Wish focuses on providing each child withequal access to technology and helping teachers make thebest use of it as a way to improve learning. After all the be-hind-the-scenes groundwork, we love to see the kids’ ex-pressions when they receive their very own netbooks."

Once the computers are distributed, Digital Wish will im-

plement weekly teacher training, curriculum units, and proj-ects for video and podcasting to bring the community intothe school, and in turn, to help the school reach outwards tothe community. A poster contest about digital citizenshipgets underway next week.

“e-Vermont is working to shrink the digital divide by pro-viding tools, training and resources,” explains Project Di-rector Helen Labun Jordan. “”When these netbooks start togo home, it will give the students and their families a newopportunity to learn together.”

The e-Vermont Community Broadband Project is helpingrural Vermont towns increase Internet usage for school in-novation, job creation, downtown marketing, and e-com-merce. The goal is to increase broadband usage and help de-velop a digital culture in rural communities throughout Ver-mont.

The e-Vermont Community Broadband Project is led by

the Vermont Council on Rural Development. Digital Wish ispart of its e-partnership providing services statewide, alongwith the Vermont State Colleges, the Vermont Departmentof Libraries, the Vermont Department of Public Service, Ver-mont Small Business Development Center, the Snelling Cen-ter for Government, Front Porch Forum, Digital Wish, Evs-lin Family Foundation and Vermont Community Founda-tion.

e-Vermont is supported by a $2.5 million stimulus grantfrom the U.S. Department of Commerce and by donatedservices and equipment from Dell, Microsoft, and Comcast.Additional support comes from the Evslin Family Founda-tion, Vermont Community Foundation, the Jan and DavidBlittersdorf Foundation, UVM’s Center for Rural Studies,and the Vermont Rural Partnership.

The School Boards that represent the six Districtswithin the AddisonNortheast Supervisory Unionhave been negotiating for the last year with the

Teachers Union for a contract that will cover this schoolyear (2010/2011). While there are a few unresolved issuesconcerning, the Boards believe there are three very largeissues that are keeping us from reaching a settlement.

• AUTOMATIC SALARY INCREASES

As in virtually all school districts within the state, ourteachers are paid based on a salary schedule. The schedulesets salaries based on a teacher ’s years of experience andlevel of education. A teacher ’s years of experience are rec-ognized by what are called “step” increases. A teachermoves one step on the schedule for each year of experi-ence until he/she reaches the top of the schedule. On ourschedule, these step increases are $1,606 and currently costthe Districts an average 2.5% of total salaries. This struc-ture is typical of teacher contracts throughout the state.

The problem is, the Boards are required to pay thesestep increases “automatically,” even when a settlement hasnot been reached for a new contract. In other words, theDistricts have to pay these increases even after the oldUnion contract has expired. We have to pay these auto-matic increases even if the Boards believe the amount istoo high given the current economy and available rev-enues. Therefore, teachers have been receiving these in-creases since the start of this school year, even though wehave not reached a settlement over a new contract.

The Boards have proposed contract language that wouldmake these step increases part of negotiations, rather thanhaving them paid automatically. Quite simply, the Boardsbelieve that it is unfair for the taxpayers to have to paysalary increases without giving the Boards the opportunityto negotiate over those increases.

Of course, the Union is insisting that teachers be able tocontinue receiving these annual increases automatically.This way, the Union can simply drag out the bargainingprocess into the next school year and guarantee that theteachers will get salary increases – automatically – eventhough the Boards have not agreed to them.

If we do not change the contract, the Districts will facethe prospect of paying automatic step increases at the endof every contract. The Boards believe all salary increasesshould be negotiated for each year. If not, the Boards will

never be able to adjust their budgets to meet the needs ofthe taxpayers.

• SALARY

Because of the current requirement to pay step increasesautomatically, the Boards have been paying these increasessince the beginning of the school year. In a last ditch effortto reach a settlement, the Boards proposed that these in-creases be continued as for the entire school year. This willprovide the vast majority of our teachers with increasesranging from 2.25% to 4.5%, depending on their years ofexperience and level of education. The average increase is2.5%.

About 25 of our 187 teachers are not receiving an in-crease this year, because they have reached the top of thesalary schedule. The maximum teacher salary is $72,625.Most of these teachers could earn additional salary in-creases by taking more college courses, which are paid forby the Districts.

The Union is insisting that every teacher receive a 2.9%salary increase for this school year. The Boards just do notbelieve such an increase is appropriate given the effect theeconomy is having on our taxpayers and the deficits in theState’s education funding.

The union employees for the State of Vermont recog-nized these realities when they accepted a 3% pay cut forthis year and a pay freeze for next year. Our own schooladministrators have done their part by accepting salaryfreezes both this year and last year. In light of these facts,the Boards believe an average increase of 2.5% for theteachers is very fair.

• HEALTH INSURANCE

All school boards in Vermont have been asked by stateofficials to increase teacher contributions toward health in-surance premiums to 20%. Most taxpayers in the state payabout 20% for their insurance. In fact, even the union em-ployees for the State of Vermont have been paying 20% fortheir insurance for over 20 years.

Currently, our teachers contribute only 10% toward theirinsurance premium costs. This amounts to $1,722 per yearfor family coverage (or $66.23 per paycheck) and only $654per year for the teacher ’s own coverage.

The Boards had proposed that teachers increase theircontribution to 20%. However, in a final effort to reach asettlement, the Boards offered to compromise and are nowasking that teachers contribute only 15% toward their cur-rent insurance plan.

Depending on whether the teacher has single or familycoverage, this will increase teacher costs by between $326

and $862 per year (or between $12.55 and $33.15 per pay-check). Please keep in mind that the vast majority of ourteachers are receiving salary increases of $1,606 this year.This increase would not begin until February 1, 2011, soteachers would be paying the increased amount for fivemonths of this school year.

The Union does not want to accept any increase in theteacher contribution percentage.

The paraprofessionals in our districts pay far more fortheir health insurance, while earning much lower salaries.Most of them pay 23% of their premium cost and some pay30% or more. We think it is reasonable to ask our teachersto pay 15%.

The Boards believe that they have compromised signifi-cantly. We have presented a fair and final offer to theUnion. It is our sincere hope that the teachers will alsorecognize that, in these economic times, this is a reason-able offer.

Middlebury College Lecture SeriesRenamed to Honor Carol Rifelj

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury President Ronald D.Liebowitz announced Nov. 8 that the College has renamedits faculty lecture series in memory of Carol Rifelj, a belovedFrench professor whopassed away in Octo-ber.

The Carol Rifelj Fac-ulty Lecture Serieswill be supported by anewly establishedfund for faculty devel-opment, which is alsonamed in Rifelj's hon-or.

"Carol's dedicationto the intellectualcommunity of the Col-lege will be well rep-resented through thishighly visible series oflectures, and her support of faculty research will be contin-ued through this fund," Liebowitz said.

Liebowitz added that if the endowment produces greaterrevenue than is needed to support the lecture series eachyear, funds will be directed toward faculty research support.

Snow removal and otherJanuary gardening tips

Charlie Nardozzi, Horticulturist and Leonard Perry, UVM Extension Horticulturist

Gently removing snow from tree and shrubbranches, keeping bird feeders clean, and check-ing houseplants for pests are some of the gar-

dening activities for this month. When tree and shrub branches bend under the weight of

a new snowfall, use a broom to gently brush off the snow.Don't try to remove ice or you might break the branch. It'spossible to save a branch that partially splits from themain trunk if you tie it in place and use long screws (com-ing from each direction, if necessary) to secure it. If doneright away, the tree may callous over the wound and healitself next season, and not split further.

Birds deserve clean food surfaces as much as we do.Every few weeks bring the feeders inside and wash themwith soap and water into which a little bleach has beenadded (1 part bleach to 9 parts water). Rinse thoroughly.If you have a heated bird bath, keep it scrubbed andcleaned regularly as well. I keep an old brush handy, justfor this purpose whenever I refill the bath.

Aphids and spider mites may be multiplying like crazyamidst your houseplants, especially if they are groupedclose together. Isolate each plant and inspect it closely,with a magnifying glass if necessary. Treat these pests byholding the plant and pot upside down and submergingthe foliage in a sink full of soapy water (wrap aluminumfoil over the soil to keep it from falling out). In severe cas-es, spray the plant with insecticidal soap.

Look on houseplants where the leaves join the stems forthe white masses of mealybugs. Rub them off with a cot-ton swab dipped in alcohol. If you see brown lumps onstems and leaves, these are likely scale insects. They arehard to control, as even rubbing them off they seem toreappear in a few weeks, so check plants often.

If that potted lavender, geranium, bougainvillea or simi-lar tender plant that you're overwintering inside has sentout spindly new shoots, keep trimming it back until theincreased sunlight can support sturdier growth.

If you keep any kind of gardening journal, dig it outnow and refresh your memory about what worked andwhat didn't work last year. Read notes you took at gardenvisits and gardening workshops to give you ideas ofplants and techniques you may want to try this year. Ifyou don't have a gardening journal, just designate a smallnotebook as a place to collect your thoughts and wishlists. I simply have a folder for each year that I tuck notesin during the year, (such as ideas for next year ’s vegetablegarden, and what varieties I want to try), as well as plantlists, receipts (to know what I bought), and maps of what Iplanted and where.

If you want to have the best selection of plants ready togo into the ground when you're ready to plant, place plantorders early. The selection dwindles the longer you wait,especially for new and unusual varieties. Some very tinyseeds such as begonias need to be sown in winter. Oth-ers, such as the new All-America winning coneflowerPowWow Wild Berry, need to be sown the end of Januaryin order to bloom the first year from seed.

An evening ofmusical geniusFriday evening Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. the Oriana

Singers and the New York Chamber Soloists Or-chestra, both under the direction of conductor

William Metcalfe presented an all-Bach concert entitled:Bach: Christmas Ornaments: Music of Genius for a FestiveSeason by Johann Sebastian Bach. The concert took placeat College Street Congregational Church in downtownBurlington.

The sold-out concert opened with Motet VI, Lobet denHerrn (BWV 230) for chorus and strings. The precision ofthe chorus in the opening measures set expectations highfor the quality of performance the audience was going toenjoy. The entire motet bubbled over with with brightsound, well-executed melismata, and the final alleluiafilled the church.

The Concerto in D minor for two violins and strings(BWV 1043), its three movements marked vivace, largo manon tanto, and allegro was performed by Curtis Ma-comber and Emily Popham. Tempi were quick and pre-cise, the largo wonderfully lyrical, the final allegro takenat a tempo that reflected the last movement of the motetwhich preceded it.

The balance of the first half of the program was occu-pied with Cantata 51, Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen (BWV51) for soprano, trumpet, and strings. The soloists wereJane Snyder, soprano, and James Duncan, trumpet. Snydersang well in the broad sense of the term, but her perform-ance could be even more admirable if she paid more atten-tion to melodic leading (by which I mean to take into con-sideration where the line is going to end up, so that shecan vocally surprise the audience as to where the keychange has taken the music, not be herself surprised – asat least one time she failed to do; it is a very subtle but im-portant factor in the performance of any music). Sheclearly has the necessary basic voice for this literature, butit has not yet bloomed into anything like the voice that isclearly available to her. Duncan produces a marveloussound on his trumpet. He is capable of matching thestring sound and the soprano sound as well. He also pro-duces a wonderfully melodic sound, and of him it wouldnever be said that he overbalanced whoever the othersoloists were. His trills are clean and crisp and both herein this cantata and wherever else he played through thebalance of the program, the same praise is due him.

Selections from the Christmas Oratorio (BWV 248)opened the concert after intermission with the chorus Ehresei dir, Gott, gesungen, the music admirably executed bythe Oriana Singers.

Jill Levis, mezzo soprano and Gary Moreau, bass,stepped forward from the ranks of the Singers: Levis sangthe aria Schliesse, mein Herze. And then Moreau sang thearia Herr, o starker Koenig partnered by Duncan. Thesetwo veterans command a wide range of abilities that maketheme highly sought after as soloists and as teachers.Levis in particular has made private voice lessons as ameans of fostering talent; Moreau has been an elementaryschool music teacher and more recently has taken over thedirectorship of The Vermont Choral Union. His ability tosing long melismatic passages is legendary. They andStephanie Maslack, soprano, sang the solo parts in Cantata140 Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (BWV 140) 3rd. Be-fore he began the cantata, Metcalfe invited the audience torehearse the final chorale, and he invited everyone to sing.Once rehearsal was successfully completed, the cantata be-

gan, also successfully.The final chorus was a de-

cidedly festive choice: Nunseid ihr wohl gerochen(from BWV 248). It was awonderful send off into theeveryday world in whichthe new moon was begin-ning to show her subtle con-trol over our lives. An ex-cellent concert indeed!

The Vermont ChoralUnion

COLCHESTER — Saturday evening I ventured to St.Michael's College in Colchester, to the McCarthy Arts Cen-ter. Although I have heard good things about the reper-toire ( I was astounded at the repertoire Gary Moreau, awell known soloist in Vermont had presented several yearsback), I have never been able to make one of their concertdates. So I was present at 7:30 p.m. to hear confirmationwith my own ears what he was doing with the VermontChoral Union.

The first gesture I made was to open the program. WhatI saw pleased me. The title of the concert was “AveMaria”: Works dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. There is agreat deal of literature written down through the ages tocelebrate Mary, and it is especially around advent andthroughout the Christmas season.. What Moreau had as-sembled looked to me was going to be a fascinatingevening of listening to choral music, which it turned outto be.

The concert opened with two works by WilliamByrd(1550-1594), Tollite portas and Ave Maria and fromthere into two works by Giovanni Pierluigi.da Palestrina(1543-1623), Alma Redemptoris Mater and BenedixistiDomine. Two settings of the text Beata es, Virgo Maria fol-lowed, the first by Jacob Handl (ca. 1526-1594), secondedby Giovanni Gabrieli, the latter for two choirs.

They were hymns originally in English and one that wasa translation of a hymn by Edvard Grieg (1843-1867). Ofthose pieces set to English texts, my far and away favoriteis Peter Warlock's Bethlehem Down (1896-1930)..

The concert ended with three Latin motets, one each byHandl, Palestrina and Jean Mouton (ca. 1459-1522).

The concert realized the music chosen extremely well.Moreau had done an exemplary of preparation, and heseemed to know how to get the community chorus to doits very best work the for him. The Chorus in general pro-duced clear sound because there was no excessive vibratoin any one of the sections or in any individual voices thatdisturbed the appropriate sounds, and by appropriate Imean appropriate to the music. Moreau possesses a bari-tone voice that he uses so easily that one would think thatall people must be able to sing that way, which, unfortu-nately is not the case. This must rub off especially to themale singers, but also to the female, and I'm sure it goes along way to giving confidence to the chorus.

I was particularly gratified to hear the hymn by EdvardGrieg because it was so unfamiliar and should be consid-ered by directors who are looking for unfamiliar materialby classic composers. As a proof that a double choir worksuch as the Gabrieli can be done successfully by a smallbut attentive choir, the group did quite a good job with theone by Gabrieli.

It was an exhilarating concert in the conception thatMoreau had, The Vermont Choral Union did their verybest to realize the concept into reality. I truly enjoyed it.

Are you energy efficient?To the Eagle:Tis the season to notice my rooftop. Last week’s snow

gave me a great chance to diagnosis where heat escapes andhow effective my weatherization efforts have been. My roofholds the snow evenly now, though I can see a two placeswhere some very minor melting still occurs. I remind my-self that it's about progress not perfection. I'm saving 300gallons of oil.

Cheers to those who also had roofs that held the snowevenly. And hope to those who are on their way. The goodnews is that some of the solutions may be easier, faster tofix and cheaper than you think. I learned this in recentweatherization and button up workshops which you cancatch on Middlebury Community Television either whenthey are rebroadcast or from their online archive.

These gave me a few things I’d think twice about doingin the future. The biggest point I got was to avoid punch-ing any more holes into my attic and roof than I already hadwith the 14 recessed can lights, bath and plumbing vents,chimney chase, attic hatch, and skylight I already had. Thesecond point I got was to air seal around these penetrations—going for the biggest hole first (again, just look at yourroof on a snowy day)—BEFORE adding insulation. Seven-ty percent of heat loss can be prevented from air sealingalone. And when I did that, it changed the air pressure inthe rest of my home so that I actually got less draft from mywindows , doors, and walls. That’s why attics come first inweatherizing--not windows and walls.

Efficiency Vermont provides ample support at their web-site and in print materials that I mine frequently for up-dates. I also use our bookshops, library, or own onlinesearches. One of my favorite tools is the “How Efficient IsYour Home?” worksheet I did on free home energy visitswith participants in the VT Community Energy Mobiliza-tion (VCEM) program. Anyone can do this. Copies are avail-able at Middlebury Town Office in racks near the clerks’ of-fice along with other materials to help you improve and fi-nance weatherization—whether you’re a homeowner or arenter.

Simply call your fuel supplier to ask the number of gal-lons of oil you burned in a typical year, multiply that by138,200 BTUs/gallon, and divide that by the square footageof your heated space to get your BTUs/sq. ft. (For propane,use 91,600 BTUs/gallon.) Basements don’t count unless theyare a heated part of your living space. Include rooms thatare not being heated but are in the livable area. If your homeor building uses less than 40,000 BTUs per square foot peryear, you have a relatively energy efficient space, althoughthere still may be efficiency improvements worth making.

Efficiency and conservation measures added up to giveme savings I applied to renewable energy systems like mynew solar hot water which I got with a big discount fromthe Acorn Energy Co-op. Details on joining the co-op areavailable at their website. Membership is only $35 a yearand actually pays me back in discounts that strengthen mylocal economy while expanding local energy solutions. Ihope you'll keep efficiency and renewables on your resolu-tion list.

some electricity on cloudy days because they position them-selves to capture ambient sunlight. Even wind is no matchfor these smart panels because they have anemometers thatprompt them to lay flat –like an animal would hunker down– during high, potentially damaging, winds.

If the solar panels should generate more power than thetown or school can use, the electric meter will start to runbackwards and the power company issues credit for the fullretail value of the electricity. If more power is needed thanthe panels have produced, the meter runs forward and elec-tricity is taken from the grid. Billing is done on a net usagebasis.

“We’re very excited to be 100 percent solar powered forelectricity”, said Jefferies. “I wouldn’t count on making alot of money, but we have a number of other energy projectsin town and we’re hoping to come out ahead.”

Vermont wants uniform food labelingVermont Attorney General William H. Sorrell and the at-

torneys general of 11 other states last week urged the U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to adopt a uniformnutritional label for the front of food packages, to ensurethat consumers have access to easily understandable andfully transparent information on how healthy the productsactually are.

“Consumers should have clear information to makehealthy food choices,” said Sorrell.

The position of the attorneys general was set out in com-ments filed with the FDA in connection with that agency’sproposal to establish a national front-of-package food la-beling program. They are consistent with preliminary rec-ommendations from Sorrell’s personal focus on obesity inVermont. Some have criticized Sorrell for using his A.G. au-thority to advocate a concern that’s unrelated to the primarymission of the state’s office.

The states alleged that the program was deceptive undertheir consumer protection laws, and it was suspended in-definitely soon afterward.

Booster Club awards plaque toCity Limits Night Club owner

VERGENNES — The Commodore Booster Club recentlypresented City Limits Night Club owner Brett Ward with aplaque in recognition for 10 years of support of the Ver-gennes Union High School boosters.

In 2010 City Limits contributed $13,000 to the Com-modore Booster Club, and since 2001 they have contributeda grand total of $188,000.

In 2010 the booster club purchased middle school uni-forms, a cheerleading mat, a softball scoreboard, an outdoorbatting cage, rowing vests, new lighting for the high schoolgym, new concessions equipment, coaches’ jackets, and an-nual scholarships and awards.

“With athletic budgets being reduced the booster club isplaying a bigger role helping to fund some of the essentialslike uniforms and equipment, as well as athletic field andfacility improvements. We couldn’t do it without Brett’ssupport. We’re been fortunate to have his backing all theseyears,” booster club president Greg Curler said.

Brett added "I would like to thank all of the customers ofCity Limits who have helped us achieve these goals; wecouldn’t have done it without you. Thanks on behalf of CityLimits and its staff."

The true story of Operation SnowbirdBy Catherine M. Oliverio

Operation Snowbird is a true story that started with a lo-cal letter to Santa from an elementary school student by thename of Jamie. She had asked Santa to save all the dogs inthe south, many of which are saved from euthanasia. Jamie’swish has partially come true, but you can help also. Pleasecontact the below-mentioned people and help save a dog—make it an extra special Christmas for the dogs that needyou! Believe it or not some dogs’ lives have been sparedwith only 15 minutes remaining.

Santa actually wrote the following letter to Jamie:“I heard your request to save dogs from the south, and I

have to say this is the second time you have given me a hardrequest to fill...remember when you asked me to stop coun-tries from illegally whaling? Well, I don't know if you re-member what I said then but the same applies here...changebegins with you and one whale at a time and in this case onedog at a time. I have watched you make flyers about dogsand hang them around, I have heard you tell people aboutthe sad treatment of dogs in the south, seen your commer-cial and how you have encouraged your classmates andteacher to make a difference. With this in mind, I have de-cided that for Christmas you will be a foster for my res-cue...bet you didn't know that I run a rescue myself. I havemany people who help me and while I know they are elvesthey do not have pointed ears. I know you would like toknow who some of them are; and since you passed elf clear-ance, I am able to share this information but don't tell any-one else...I don't want their cover to be blown. You see thepeople who run the Pet transport work for me, Shelly fromDouble Dog Rescue, Dianna Moore from Paws of Marion,Cindy Thrasher and Brigette Ritchie from Golden Huggsand many more.

I know that you will do a great job at being a foster. Don-ner himself picked the pup for you and, of course, it is a boybecause I know Pumpkin prefers males. Donner decided toname him after himself because he knows that he is yourfavorite reindeer. Comet is hurt by this as he knows you findhis sense of humor funny in the movies. Feel free to changehis name when you get him home to help him appeal to aperson looking to adopt. Remember change begins withyou!

Keep up the great work and don't forget to study yourspelling words!

Love, SantaP.S. Try to be nicer to your brother and he will be nicer

to you!”As it turned out, Jamie and her family actually adopted

Donner. Please note the family has chosen to remain anony-mous.

VSAC offers college savings plans for families

The Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) hasrenewed its agreement with TIAA-CREF Tuition Financing,Inc. to manage the Vermont Higher Education InvestmentPlan—Vermont’s official 529 college savings plan — and isoffering several enhancements to benefit Vermont families.

The number of VHEIP investment options has expandedfrom three to six to provide families a wider range of choic-es with varying strategies and degrees of risk. Investors maychoose options that range from conservative to aggressive,selecting those that best fit their college savings objectivesand investment philosophy.

In addition, program management fees have been re-structured to help account owners put more of their invest-ments toward their college savings goals. Of particular note,fees have been reduced for the Managed Allocation Option,a popular choice for many families because the underlyinginvestments automatically adjust as the student beneficiaryages.

In addition to the changes, plans are under way to makemanaging a VHEIP account online much easier. Accountowners will be able to view electronic quarterly and annu-al statements online, rebalance existing assets to new or ex-isting investment options, and make withdrawals to thebank account on record.

The Vermont Higher Education Investment Plan launchedin 1999 and has grown to an asset value of $100 million inabout 9,600 accounts. VHEIP is the only 529 plan for whichVermont taxpayers can claim a state income tax credit of upto $250 per taxpayer per beneficiary (up to $500 for marriedcouples filing jointly) on contributions in each taxable year.

College honors student artistsMIDDLEBURY—Each year the Friends of the Art Muse-

um at Middlebury College recognize those who have madesignificant contributions to the community, either throughtheir creative endeavors or through support for the visualarts in Addison County.

At the recent annual meeting, the friends honored five in-dividuals in five categories.

Student award winners were Middlebury College seniorJack Reed of Stowe, Mount Abraham Union High Schoolsenior Anna Pierattini of Monkton, North Branch Schooleighth-grader Luke Freidin of New Haven, and WeybridgeElementary School sixth-grader Nikhil Plouffe of Wey-bridge. Artist Kate Gridley of Middlebury was the award re-cipient in the category of Professional or Amateur Artist,Craftsperson, or Teacher.

Jack Reed’s work includes painting, printmaking, sculp-ture and set-design. He has excelled in Studio Art classes,and during his junior year he attended the Slade School ofArt in London.

Anna Pierattini’s extensive and remarkable body of workranges from portraits of orphans in Myanmar and El Sal-vador to murals for the school and to almost a thousandminiature drawings in a series called “Good Dog Nigel.”

Luke Freidin creates photographs of unusual power andbeauty which, according to teacher Tal Birdsey are not acci-dental.

As an artist of independent vision and astonishing tech-nique, Kate Gridley’s paintings have an infectious energyand an arresting point of view. She is able to suffuse every-day subjects with grace and elegance.

WHAT’S BEHIND THAT BREWSKI — A panoramic view of the Long Trail Ale Brewery at Bridgewater Corners. Vermont’s first suc-cessful brewery produces a family of award-winning ales. American-grown hops are added to the boiling kettle which helps cap-ture the plant’s bittering and aromatic qualities that add richness to Long Trail ales. The brewery does has a side benefit for localcattle farmers: it provides over 8 tons of nutrient rich mash feed for grazing cows.
