In just a few weeks, a lucky family will soon fi nd a comfortable, energy effi cient house to call home in the Springfi eld area. Construction began two months ago on the seventh home built by the Greater Springfi eld Area Habitat for Humanity organization. No tax dollars are ever used in the construction of Habitat homes. All construction funds come from tax deductible donations as well as volunteer labor and build-ing materials.

The new house under way in Springfi eld is a three bedroom, 1.5 bath ranch-style house with an attached garage. The energy effi cient design eliminates steps, designed to fi t the needs of a variety of occupants.

When completed, Habitat offi cials said, the house is expected to achieve a fi ve-star energy effi ciency rating. Its massive, 8-inch thick walls include the latest in insulating materials.

Unlike many older Vermont houses, the ranch house is heated by a propane gas boiler. Using

Loren Murphy of Pittsford, a senior at Otter Valley High School, was pre-sented with an Eagle Scout award at the Eagle Court of Honor Ceremony at Hildene, the Vermont home of Robert Lincoln, the son of President Abraham. According to Murphy, “an Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America; it’s an honor less than 5 per-cent of scouts nationwide attain.”

Murphy started out in scouting as a Tiger Cub, a member of Pack 110 in Pittsford. At that time, he was an eager fi rst grader at the Lothrop School. As the young scout advanced through the ranks, his leadership skills were recognized early on. As a Cub, Murphy was awarded the Arrow of Light, the highest level honor for a Cub Scout.

Maintaining a commitment to the principles of scouting, Murphy moved up to Boy Scout Troop 110 in Rutland County. Again, his leadership skills were recognized and he assumed the positions of patrol leader for the “Phish” patrol and became the troop’s assistant senior patrol leader.

Murphy’s honors in scouting continued to gain attention: he was elected to the Order of the Arrow, the Boy Scouts Honor Society, Ajapeu Lodge, and he became the Rutland County troop’s representative. Later, he was elected secretary for the Boy Scouts’ Ethan Allen Chapter. He moved up to lodge vice chief and then was named acting chief of the lodge.

Recently, members of the Pittsford Selectboard approved Murphy’s Eagle project that involved construction of a trail message center and relief map for the Pittsford Trails and Recreation Park. The accomplished scout also worked with award-winning Vermont artist Woody Jack-son in designing new Green Mountain Council patches that recognize the centennial of scouting.

This year, Murphy was elected as the Order of the Arrow section chief—the result being the Pittsford scout became the fi rst youth from the Vermont Ajapeu Lodge to ever be elected to a national position in the Boy Scouts of America. Murphy’s new responsibilities include section chief for scouts in Vermont, New York, Connecticut and Europe.

Let’s see, what isthere to talk aboutthis week?

Lady Gaga wore a dressmade of meat at an awardsshow. Her shoes were madeof meat, too. Had a meat haton. Seemed odd—then I re-membered I eat meat.

Brian Dubie and PeterShumlin had their first de-bate. Many more debates tocome. I think there shouldbe only one debate and nocommercials or factorywalks or county fair or school visits. In the voting booth,beneath a photo of each guy, there should be 10 one sen-tence descriptions of things they’ll do as governor. Readthem and choose. That’s it.

I have 20 t-shirts. I wear two. I don’t buy t-shirts. I taket-shirts to the thrift store. T-shirts, t-shirts, t-shirts. Need at-shirt? There are so many t-shirts.

Do kids notice subtleties of season? I don’t remembernoticing. I wish I did. I only noticed big things. My dad,school buses, Mrs. Marsh. For kids, it’s Fourth of July, Hal-loween, Thanksgiving, Christmas—connected by more ofthe same. Nice adults notice subtleties or time would passeven faster, if that’s even possible.

When you arrive at a house that has dogs that bark asyou arrive, the owners chide the dogs in a tone that sug-gests they’re surprised the dogs are barking. When thathappens, I think it’s the first time the dogs barked whensomeone arrived.

My cat sits looking up at the door to my hall closet forlong stretches of time. She sits there, looking up at thedoor. She’s still alive. Curiosity didn’t kill the cat. Her kid-neys will. Curiosity made the cat fun to own.

The first few times I visit the bathroom after I’ve eatenbeets, my urine is colored red. When I eat asparagus myurine gives off a pungent odor. I have a sweet tooth andsometimes for a late-night snack I’ll gobble several marsh-mallows. After, when I visit the bathroom, I see mini-marshmallows. Well—not really, but wouldn’t that be fun?

A man called a radio show and described a politician asbeing “smart as a tack”—“that’s ‘sharp’.” I whispered tomyself. Did the show’s host correct the guy? No. Why not?I think the guy would want to know.

Last year, a local guy put razorblades in a Halloween ap-ple. The kid that got it wasn’t hurt. He noticed the handlesticking out before he bit in. I don’t think they make thekind of razorblades these nut cases used to put in kidsHalloween apples. That’s the good thing about these days.

Until “The Waltons” becomes required viewing for highschool-aged kids, I think I’d home school.

“There may be trouble ahead... Soon we’ll be without theMoon. Humming a different tune, and then...”

Last week, I was listening to an old vinyl recordwith Fred Astaire singing the Irving Berlin song,“There May Be Trouble Ahead”. A few of the

lyrics—repeated above—got me thinking about what theEarth would be like without the Moon.

This intriguing question isn’t just a fanciful “what if”exercise, but an inquiry into what makes our planet such aunique place in our solar system. Raytheon astronomerStan Odenwald—founder of the Internet’s popular Astron-omycafe.net—tackled the problem of a Moonless Earth; hecame up with some intriguing possibilities.

First, let’s look at tides. Without Luna, Earth would stillhave high and low tides thanks to the Sun, but these tideswould be half as high as lunar high and low tides. Springtides (or Neap tides) would disappear since both the Sunand the Moon—on opposite sides of the Earth or on thesame side—create these effects. However, large coastalbreakers, familiar to residents of California and Oregon,would still occur thanks to the effects of Earth’s rotationand maritime storms.

When it comes to time-keeping, there’d be no need tokeep a 12-month calendar without the Moon, said Oden-wald. Also, take away the influence of Luna’s gravityupon Earth and fewer volcanoes might have been createdduring our planet’s long geological history. This problem,with reduced out gassing from volcanoes, might have re-duced the density, and perhaps the complex composition,of the terrestrial atmosphere. Such an effect might have re-duced or even eliminated the chance of life arising early inthe Earth’s history.

Would the lack of a moon near Earth also have prevent-ed continental drift? Odenwald asked. Probably not, heconcluded, since convection of molten materials deepwithin the Earth’s mantle is the result of internal forcesnot lunar forces.

One intriguing effect of a Moonless planet Earth, Oden-wald surmised, would be a world without seasons—or atleast seasons very alien to those we’re used to. Many as-tronomers think the proto Moon was an “interloper”, aplanetary wanderer, which came from elsewhere in spaceand impacted the Earth to form the Moon we know today.If true, then the Earth’s rotation axis—in pre-lunarepochs—could have been tilted perpendicular to the“ecliptic” or plane of the solar system (rather than titled atnearly 24 degrees as it is now).

Without the Moon, sunlight would reach the Earth’s sur-face at the same angle throughout the year. At Vermont’s

latitude, for example, theSun’s rays would strike theground at 45 degrees daily.At both poles, the Sunwould never rise above thehorizon. Thus, at the equatorsummer would continueyear round; at mid-latitudesspring would reign; and athigher latitudes, winterwould continue throughoutthe year.

Such a hodgepodge of seasons would create wild, un-predictable planetwide weather. So, when the Moon re-cedes far from Earth in the distant future, as many as-tronomers believe, there may indeed be trouble ahead.

There may be trouble ahead...

Seeing Stars

For years afterward it was called the Vicious Act of'92. Act 20 of 1892 decreed the consolidation of themanifold tiny school districts within most towns

into a single town district. At one stroke it reduced Ver-mont's 2,214 school districts by almost 90 percent.

This was, its critics charged, the death of local control ofpublic education-"local" meaning the neighborhoodaround a school. Eventually the passions of 1892 faded,and citizens came to associate local control with the townschool district, where it remained for a century.

The current assault on local control began in 1997, whena liberal legislature enacted Act 60 at the direction of aSupreme Court informed by bogus history and exulting inwhat even a liberal legal critic described as "a raw exerciseof judicial power."

The most revolutionary and controversial of Act 60'sprovisions was its requirement that all revenues raised lo-cally be shipped to Montpelier, where they would bemixed with state revenues, shifted about, and returned todistricts to meet the Court's mandate of "substantiallyequal access to tax resources."

That broke the historic link between the amount votedby local taxpayers to operate their schools, and the amountof taxes collected for public education. After Act 68 of2003, school districts where voters chose to spend morethan a dollar amount per equalized pupil set by the legis-lature (currently $8,544) would suffer a corresponding in-crease in their legislatively-determined residential educa-tion property tax rate (currently .86 percent). This was ashrewd attempt to maintain some linkage between spend-ing and taxation, but most voters have long since given uptrying to understand how the system works.

The non-financial provisions of Act 60 were every bit assubversive of local control. For years Commissioners ofEducation had asked for more control over public schools,but the legislature was largely unwilling to grant theirpleas. Schools districts were habituated to teacher certifi-cation, union bargaining, financial and educational report-ing, and civil rights and special education rules. But Act 60decreed that the Department could enforce "school qualitystandards", and "standards regulating conditions, practicesand resources". It even gained the power - not yet used - toput a school into receivership.

This year saw another wave of attacks on what was leftof "local control". The legislature passed a bill to encour-age voluntary school district consolidation into "RegionalEducation Districts". It's perfectly clear to everyone, andespecially to the educrats who promoted it, that over timethe multitown REDs will be controlled by the department

and the teachers' union, notby local voters and taxpay-ers. The REDs will becomethe equivalent of multitownwaste management districts.

The second step, presagedby Gov. Douglas' 2010 stateof the state message, will bedepartmental control overpupil-teacher ratios. The leg-islature declined to act onthat recommendation, butspending pressure on the Ed-ucation Fund will likely pro-vide the votes to adopt itwithin a year or two.

The third step came with Challenge for Change. Thismuch-touted process for achieving spending savings as-signed a $23 million cost reduction goal to the Departmentof Education. But the commissioner does not have thepower to force voters of school districts to reduce theirbudgets to meet that goal. The most he can do is contrivedistrict by district reduction targets, and write urgent let-ters pleading with the school boards to plead with the vot-ers to meet his target. This he did on August 4.

Many districts may well achieve an average of 2.34 per-cent in spending reduction this year. Over time, however,the commissioner will acquire the power, either by statuteor by force of his office, to tell school districts the mostthat their schools can spend.

As these steps play out, the Commissioner will issue or-ders to its Regional Education Districts, capping theirpupil-teacher ratios and instructing them on how muchthey are allowed to spend.

Just as local control of subdistrict schools went out withthe Vicious Act of '92, local control as it existed prior to1997 will soon give way to one of two outcomes: eithercomplete state control, or parental control.

The former is the French model, with its nationwide cur-riculum and all-powerful Ministry of Education.

The latter would decentralize "local" down to the familylevel: empowered parents would choose the educationalprogram that they believe is best for their children, andproviders would compete to please them as customers, notsubjects.

John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Insti-tute (www.ethanallen.org).

InBrief


Editor’s note: You may recall the infamous Hatfield-McCoyfeud (1878–1891) of the West Virginia-Kentucky border between1878 and 1891. But did you know about Vermont’s Proctor-Dut-ton family feud? It lasted 75 years but without the bloodshed ofthe Hatfields and McCoys. And you can blame all the fuss on amuddy road that divided the two families, both literally and fig-uratively.

In 1782, Capt. Leonard Proctor, a Revolutionary War vet-eran, moved his family to Vermont. With his two sons (Jabezand John) he built a “shunpike” to the village of Gassetts innearby Chester to avoid paying the tolls of the Green Moun-tain Turnpike.

Salmon Dutton, who came to Cavendish around the sametime, had helped to build the Green Mountain Turnpike,which ran from Bellows Falls to Rutland, bringing Bostoncoaches north up the Duttonsville Gulf to the village andthen west along the present Route 131 through Proctorsville.

The toll-free “shunpike” resulted in northbound trafficfrom Boston coming directly to Proctorsville and bypassingDuttonsville. Because of the road, the Dutton and Proctorfamilies—as well as the villages of Duttonsville (today knowas Cavendish) and Proctorsville—feuded back-and-forth for75 years.

The marriage of Redfield Proctor and Emily Dutton in1858 joined the leading families of the two villages andpromised to put an end to the former rivalry.

As Redfield said of his first son, Fletcher Dutton Proctor—"If the old names and blood had the old inclination left tostir up strife, it would have created a fearful internal com-motion."

In fact, the merger of these families proved to be a propi-tious event for Vermont, since three governors and a U.S.Senator came from this Dutton-Proctor line.

On Feb. 20, 1907, Proctorsville formally gave notice to the

Town of Cavendish that it wished to be incorporated. TodayProctorsville is a village within the township of Cavendish.

For the month of October, a pictorial display of Proc-torsville will be on exhibit in the Cavendish Public Library.

On Oct. 10, the annual cemetery tour will take place at theHillcrest Cemetery in Proctorsville at 2 p.m. There will be aguided Proctorsville Walking Tour that day starting at 1 p.m.at the war memorial; it will include the cemetery tour.Carmine Guica, one of CHS’s genealogist, will have infor-mation about who is buried in this cemetery.

If you don’t know the story of “Fire Bug Fitton”, Carminewill tell you about it when you visit the family grave plot.

Local movie buffs will have a unique opportunity to com-fortably view a variety of award-winning family orientedfilms at the Ludlow Auditorium starting later this year.

Media projection equipment, funded by generous dona-tions from local residents, will be installed in the LudlowAuditorium to screen classic and recent family films. Thescreenings will be open to the public. In addition to dona-tions, a money award for the film program was approved byvoters during the 2010 Ludlow Town Meeting.

According to Ralph Pace, chairman of FOLA, the Friendsof Ludlow Auditorium, Rutland independent-filmmakerDavid Giancola’s Edgewood Studios provided the hard-ware. Edgewood will return to the auditorium during thefall to set up the equipment. The equipment, including a pro-jector, is designed to project films onto a large screen. Thescreen was funded by Ludlow taxpayers.

“All we need now is about $1,000 to enable us to finalizethe legal requirements for displaying copyrighted films andpurchase a popcorn machine to make everyone feel at homeat the movies,” Pace said.

A special movie committee is already preparing a list ofappropriate films to offer as well as public screening dates.

Two employees of Edgewood Studios in Rutland delivered pro-jection equipment to the Ludlow Auditorium last week. Familyoriented films will be screened at the auditorium starting laterthis year once the films’ public performance copyrights are ok'd.

Brandon residents filesupermarket appeal


Brandon’s proposed 36,000 square-foot Hannaford su-permarket and retail center is one step closer to reality. Thetown’s Development Review Board approved the proposedHannaford supermarket but several residents have alreadyfiled an appeal to stop the project.

The new shopping plaza will be built by William McCabe,a Massachusetts-based commercial developer.

According to the appeal by residents, the project was nei-ther the subject of public hearings nor a statutory notice.

McCabe told news reporters that he considering how torespond to the appeal.

Some residents are also upset about potential truck noise;they claim the noise will exceed a local ordinance and ques-tions.

The proposed Hannaford would employ local residentsand keep a significant amount of retail commerce within thetown.

Lisa Miller, vice president for real estate development atHannaford Supermarkets, said the supermarket firm islegally committed to building at the site south of down-town.

Hannaford Supermarkets was recognized with a CleanAir–Cool Planet Climate Champion award for its use of in-novative technologies and business practices that help pro-tect the environment recently. The grocer also sells seafoodonly from sources that are managed to sustain seafood avail-ability for current and future generations.

When Tattersall’s Clothing first opened its doors in Au-gust 1995, the owners promised Rutland-area shoppers well-made products at reasonable prices and personal service—old fashioned values that are the hallmark of downtownRutland retailing.

Over the years, Tattersall’s didn’t deviate from the prom-ise. However, since 1995, the product mix has changed sig-nificantly. Today Tattersall’s features—in the store’s ownwords—“fun, occasionally funky, and always funktional”natural fiber clothing and accessories.

This month, Tattersall’s celebrates a milestone 15 years inbusiness. For 15 days, Sept. 16-30, the store is offering a dis-count off the first item.

As Rutland has changed, so has Tattersall’s changed thefocus of its products.

Tattersall’s focuses on mainly natural fiber clothing—itesm such as cotton, alpaca wool, linen, hemp and cottonblends. And in the accessory lines such things as hemp andcotton socks, hemp purses and wallets, scarves in cotton,Pashmina and silk-cotton, as well as “funky”, and fun ear-rings and barrettes.

But as much as the store has changed, many things havenot.

Christine Tattersall, owner of Tattersall’s for these 15years, is honored that her store manager and buyer Jenn Pat-tillo has been an integral part of the management of Tatter-sall’s for most of those 15 years.

Both Christine and Jenn are involved in local efforts to im-prove the life and economy of Rutland.

Christine serves on a number of boards and committees

in the Rutland area, and participates in local road races, bothfor the thrill of competing and to keep slim and fit.

Jenn is a creative knitter, a volunteer at the Rutland Nat-ural Food Market-the Coop, and a member of the DowntownRutland Partnership Special Events Committee. She also en-joys biking, hiking, and running.

In a gloomy economy, Tattersall’s is a local bright spot anda role model for other retailers.

Maj. Gen. Dubie honoredMaj. Gen. Michael D. Dubie was this year's Distinguished

Citizen at a convocation ceremony for incoming first-yearChamplain College students last week.

Dubie serves as the adjutant general of Vermont, respon-sible for the 4,000 members of the National Guard and a $220million annual budget. Leading the Guard during thelargest deployment since World War II presents challenges,including ensuring the wounded get medical care and tak-ing care of the families who have lost loved ones overseas.

Dubie was born and raised in the Burlington area andwent on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics atthe University of Vermont and a Masters of Arts degree ininternational relations from Norwich University. He hasstudied national and international security at Harvard Uni-versity's John F. Kennedy School of Government.

In addition to his professional pursuits, Dubie has vol-unteered as a coach for youth sports, served on his localschool budget advisory committee, currently serves as amember of several board of directors and committees.

Dubie is married to Amy Spagnuolo Dubie, a 1981 Cham-plain College graduate, and they have three daughters,Chelsea, Whitney and Morgan. His brother, Brian, is leiu-tenant governor of Vermont and this year ’s Republican can-didate for governor.

Habitat for HumanityFrom page 1

a gas heating sources means a big jump in energy effi-ciency—a 96 percent energy efficiency is expected.In addi-tion to gas, a passive solar energy hot-water system willhelp lower costs. The solar system was donated and in-stalled by HP Energy Solutions of Vermont.

According to Habitat officials, energy-efficient windows,installed by Jeld-Wen, will greatly increase the house’s prac-ticality on a low budget; even doors have been installed withefficiency in mind.

Another 21st century design touch in the Habitat house isan air-exchange system that exhausts stale interior air andreplaces it with fresh outside air. Another bonus: heat is ex-tracted from the stale air and used to comfortable preheatthe incoming air.

According to a statement released by the Greater Spring-field Area Habitat for Humanity, “once a family is selectedfrom the many applications we have received, they will con-tribute 350 sweat equity hours in finishing the home. Whenthe home is finished they will sign a zero percent mortgagefor the cost to build it.”

Officials said the mortgage will be held by SpringfieldHabitat; the homeowner will be responsible for mortgage,tax, water/sewer, and insurance payments, as well as all op-erating costs.

Greater Springfield Area Habitat officials said they planto construct one house annually in Springfield, Chester,Grafton, Rockingham, Ludlow, Baltimore, Andover, West-on, Cavendish, and Weathersfield area.

Motorists are likely to remember the late, great summerof 2010 as much by its soaring temperatures over 90 degreesas by its tortoise-like highway traffic patterns. In the case ofstop-and-go traffic, blame it on several high-profile high-way and bridge construction projects around the region.

While the Lake Champlain Bridge project may have re-ceived the most coverage by news media, there are othertransportation-related construction jobs—such as the U.S.Route 7 Pittsford-Brandon corridor and the Route125/Green Mountain National Forest projects—that likelyaffected a larger volume of local drivers.

For commuters along U.S. Route 7 in northern RutlandCounty, the summer just ended was a silly season of trafficdelays and clouds of dust along the northern Rutland Coun-ty corridor.

The project, still underway, was designed to improvepedestrian and vehicular safety as well as to enhance mo-bility along Route 7 through Pittsford and Brandon.

According to VTrans, the work area encompasses ruraland town settings from Pittsford to approximately 0.1 milesouth of the Brandon town line. The total project length isnearly 12 miles.

While millions are being spent on Route 7 alone this year,the highway never seems to get the kinds of upgrades mostdaily drivers would like to see—that is, extended passinglanes, increased highway speeds, and bypasses around con-gested downtown areas.

We asked John Zicconi, director of planning, outreach,and community affairs for the Vermont Agency of Trans-portation, several questions about the financing andprogress of the Brandon project as well as the future viabil-ity of Route 7.

Eagle: What is the estimated total cost of the Brandon/Route7 phase of the project? When will it be completed?

Zicconi: The contract currently underway has a construc-tion total of $11.3 million, but this is only one phase of sixphase project that will improve Route 7 from Brandon vil-lage through Pittsford village and a small portion just southof Pittsford village. Total cost of all six phases is estimatedat $60 million.

The current construction will be completed next year, butour intention is to run through the six segments one afteranother. We’re not yet sure just how long that will take, butit certainly will take but we are likely talking the better partof a decade if not longer.

The Eagle: How is this cost broken down federal vs. state fund-ing?

Zicconi: The current contract is being done with federalstimulus money, so it is 100 percent federal funds. The oth-er five phases will be the usual 80 percent federal, 20 per-cent state.

The Eagle: Was this a "stimulus" project or budgeted beforethe stimulus?

Zicconi: Only the current contract is stimulus. The otherfive phases will be our usual funding of 80/20 as mentionedabove.

The Eagle: What was the main reason for the work just southof Brandon? Was it all safety related?

Zicconi: Safety is one factor. The other is mobility. This12- mile stretch of Route 7 does not meet modern standardsfor a major roadway (12-foot travel lanes and 8-foot shoul-ders) so this project will bring this segment of Route 7 up tomodern specifications, which will improve both safety andmobility.

The Eagle: With all the Route 7 work being done, why aren'twe seeing more extended passing lanes being created? It seemsRoute 7 will be just as congested. Is this a false perception?

Zicconi: The project does include three passing lanes, butthey are all located further south of the current constructionand will be part of future construction contracts.

The Eagle: What is the long range viability of Route 7? Doyou see more bypasses—say around Middlebury—in the future?Assuming Vermonters will still want to travel by car, and to sup-port tourism as well as commerce, how can improved vehicularaccess between Rutland and Burlington be supported by Route 7without extended multiple lanes for passing and bypasses aroundbottleneck towns such as Middlebury?

Zicconi: Once we complete the Bennington and Mor-risville bypasses in 2012, the days of building bypasses arelikely behind us. These projects have long been in our sys-

tem, and much of the pre-construction money has alreadybeen expended.

The combination of the cost of acquiring land, the cost ofconstruction and the inevitable environmental hurdles as-sociated with cutting a new roadway make building by-passes very difficult. This is why we look at roads like Route7 and assess improvements that can be made that both in-crease safety and allow traffic to flow better.

The kinds of practical tools at our disposal to improvetraffic flow and safety are the addition of strategic passinglanes, shoulder widening, adding turn lanes so turning ve-hicles do not impede the free flow of the mainline, and in-stalling roundabouts at intersections where they makesense.

In some cases, like through Brandon Village, we can alsoalter the roadway alignment slightly and improve intersec-tions so that traffic can flow more easily through the heartof town, but people should expect to have to slow down asthey travel through downtowns.

The American Library Association is on a missionthis week. The ALA’s mission, supported by publicand institutional libraries in Vermont and around thenation, states that the freedom to choose and expressone's opinions—even if that opinion might be consid-ered unorthodox or politically incorrect—are rightsprotected under the U.S. Constitution.

Banned Books Week, Sept. 25-Oct. 2, is a nationalcelebration acknowledging American’s freedom toread. The event was launched in 1982 in response tothe number of what the ALA terms “challenges” tobooks in schools, bookstores and libraries. More thana thousand books have been challenged since 1982.

This year, a number of public and college librariesaround the area are recognizing Banned Book Week.Many librarians are encouraging patrons to check outa banned or challenged book and read it.

According to David Clark, director of the Ilsley Pub-lic Library in Middlebury, Banned Books Week is agood time for libraries to elevate public awarenessabout the ever present threat of censorship.

“The Ilsley Library has set up a display of bannedbooks,” said Clark. “We posted yellow ‘CAUTION’work-zone flagging tape across our banned books dis-play; this will get the attention of our patrons. I thinkpatrons will be very surprised at books that have beenchallenged or banned over the years.”

Clark mentions banned books written by MarkTwain, James Joyce, Kurt Vonnegut, Alice Walker, ToniMorrison, Harper Lee, Vladmir Nabokov, ErnestHemingway, Madonna Louise Ciccone, and others.

Books are often challenged based on sex (Madon-na’s 1992 coffee-table book “Sex”), race (Helen Ban-nerman’s children’s tale “The Story of Little BlackSambo”), religion (Nikos Kazantzaki’s “The LastTemptation of Christ” and Salman Rushdie’s “The Sa-tanic Verses”) and politics (Ray Bradbury’s “Fahren-heit 451” and George Orwell’s “1984”).

“In just the past month, several library programsaround Vermont have focused on reading the Koran,a religious text most recently threatened,” Clark said.

Perhaps the greatest misconception regarding challenges to banbooks in the U.S. is that only right wingers are behind book bans—not true. Left-wingers, have targeted political pamplets and booksfor banning, too.

Book challenges occur inevery state. People challengebooks that they say are either toosexual, too violent or not politi-cally correct. “They may objectto profanity, slang, portrayals of

ethnic, religious and political stereotypes or positive portrayals ofhomosexuals,” according to the ALA.

According to a recent ALA report on book challenges, 460 chal-lenges were reported to the ALA’s Office of Intellectual Freedomin 2009.

In the U.S., Clark noted, children’s books probably get the mostattention when it comes to content. Books about witches, demons,vampires—such as “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” books—andother creatures of myth and legend are often on parent’s minds.

But it may not take a village when it comes to policing

Fall Home Improvement2010While small things help, it's the big steps consumers take

to improve their home's energy efficiency that truly make adifference, according to researchers at Scientific Americanmagazine.

Of the 505 Americans surveyed by the Earth Institute andCenter for Research on Environmental Decisions, more than40 percent said the most effective way to save energy was toturn off lights, drive less or adjust the thermostat. Less than10 percent identified what researchers say are more effectivemeasures -- improving your home's overall efficiency, likebuying energy-saving appliances or replacing old windowswith more energy-efficient ones.

"Now is an ideal time to replace drafty windows or doors,"says Annette Bravard, vice president of retail replacement atPella Corporation. "Installing energy-efficient windows anddoors can help lower your utility bills and increase your en-ergy efficiency for years to come, and help you qualify for2010 U.S. energy tax credits. If you've been putting off win-dow or door replacement, now's the time to do it."

To meet requirements for up to $1,500 in U.S. energy taxcredits, qualifying windows and doors must be installed byDec. 31, 2010.

Simplify your replacementSometimes the most daunting aspect of a home improve-

ment project is figuring out how to pay for it. Once home-owners take the first step toward securing financing options,they're surprised how quickly and easily windows anddoors can be replaced, Bravard says.

Whether you want to replace all your windows at once orstart with just one door, these steps will help get your re-placement project under way.

1. Financing - Contact your lender or the window compa-ny you're buying from to discuss possible financing options.

Not ready for a big remodeling project right now? Considera multi-year approach that fits your needs.

2. Schedule appointment - Schedule an in-home consulta-tion with a window company expert to discuss your energy-efficiency, installation and timing goals.

3. Window/door selection - Your window expert will helpyou choose energy-efficient windows and doors based onyour home's style, your climate and your budget. They canalso arrange for installation.

Replacement projects don't need to be messy, time-con-suming or complicated. In fact, it's possible to install newwindows without replacing wallpaper or repainting yourwalls, Bravard says.

Pella Precision Fit replacement windows provide a sim-plified solution for home renovation. These easy-to-installreplacement windows slide into existing window openingshelping retain surrounding interior trim, wallpaper, paint orplaster. The windows are designed for applications wherethe exterior frame remains in good condition, but an up-graded sash unit can increase energy efficiency and eye ap-peal.

Choose from awning, transom and casement windows --whichever meet your needs and the style of your home.

Concerned about costs? Consider vinyl windows anddoors that offer low maintenance, durability, distinctive de-sign and energy efficiency.

"With so many energy-efficient options, stylish new re-placement windows and doors can help keep your homewarmer in the winter and cooler in the summer while creat-ing a better view," Bravard says.

You're ready for a new bathroom, something with styleand comfort. You want the room to refresh you in the morn-ings, and provide you with the opportunity to relax and un-wind in the evenings.

As you start to design your bathroom remodel, you im-mediately put comfort at the top of your priority list. Youwant a beautiful shower with superb water pressure thatfeels oh-so-good in the mornings or a sink that allows youto quickly and efficiently wash your hands and face so youcan wake up and get started for the day.

Another notion to put at the top of your list is water effi-ciency. In fact, high-efficiency is now the standard for bath-room showers, sinks and toilets. In the United States, prod-ucts with the Environmental Protection Agency's Wa-terSense label are high-performing, water-efficient and test-ed by a third, independent party to be certified.

It's a misconception that high-efficiency products don'tperform well. Technology is so improved that you can getthe same invigorating stream of water in your morningshower while using less water. Another mistaken belief isthat high-efficiency products are very expensive. Most green

products don't cost any more than regular showers, sinks ortoilets.

Toilets are the biggest source of water usage in your home- representing almost a third of your family's total indoorwater consumption. And high-efficiency toilets, like TOTO'shigh-efficiency Double Cyclone toilets, only use 1.28 gallonsof water per flush, which could save a family of four morethan $2,000 over the lifetime of the toilet. These EPA Wa-terSense-labeled toilets make water work harder by marry-ing flawless performance to exceptional bowl cleansing ac-tion to create a green, clean flushing system that saves youmoney, water, and time cleaning the toilet, always a thank-less task.

Of course, as you redesign your bath, you get to choosethe style and look. Your taste might be a large, claw-foot tubthat allows you to immerse yourself in a froth of bath bub-bles, or you might go for a more modern design with glassshower walls and bold tile colors. Either way, make sure youupgrade your faucet and showerhead. TOTO's Guineverehigh-efficiency faucets and showerheads offer stylish, highperformance that can cut water usage by more than 32 per-

cent compared to standard models.Conserving water in your newly redesigned bathroom al-

lows you to be green, save money, save time, and be consci-entious about the environment - without losing the advan-tage of that great performance you have come to expect. Soenjoy the comfort and luxury of your bath space, and reapthe money-saving rewards at the same time.

Bathroom remodeling today means less money down the drain

Home remodeling projects can becomeoverwhelming to even the most experiencedDIYers. Thanks to new technology and on-line resources, these projects don't have to beso daunting. With online sites and tools tokeep homeowners on track, complicatedprojects are simpler than ever. By doing theproper research and using these new re-sources, homeowners will find that technol-ogy can make home improvement projectsfaster, and more painless and precise.

Virtual design toolsWhile some homeowners have a natural

instinct and vision for how they want theirhome to look, others need a little guidance.With seemingly limitless options, a home-

owner could come up with literally millionsof color and style combinations. The tools tonarrow in on the perfect elements are cru-cial.

It's simple to pick out different pieces andmaterials for a home, but making sure every-thing fits together for a cohesive style is themost important part of home decorating. Forthose not blessed with the designer gene,many popular home publications and homeimprovement companies offer online re-sources with tools that provide both inspi-ration and a realistic visualization for thoseplanning the design of their home.

Lumber Liquidators, the largest specialtyretailer of hardwood flooring in the UnitedStates, recently created the "Room Designer"

on its website, LumberLiquidators.com, forhomeowners to view different varieties offloors within a number of different types ofrooms and setups. Users can swap out theflooring, change the cabinet and wall colors,save their designed rooms and even e-mailthe combination to themselves or friends.The site also allows visitors to view beforeand after pictures from actual customers inorder to get ideas for their own homes. Ulti-mately, homeowners must feel comfortablein their homes and the decor and tone shouldreally fit their personalities and lifestyles.

Planning made mobileMany people find themselves with limit-

ed time, and planning a home improvementproject ends up at the end of a very long to-do list. For these homeowners, mobile ap-plications are ideal to make progress - whilewaiting for the bus or during their lunchbreak - even if they don't have time to sit

down and plan a home improvement project.Mobile applications can also save DIYers

a little cash as they don't have to spend mon-ey on expensive tools. Apps can be a remod-eler's best friend as they'll do everythingfrom turning a phone into a level, convert-ing measurement units, serving as a flash-light or identifying the cheapest retailer tobuy tools. The "Floor Finder" even tellshomeowners the amount of flooring neededto fill a room. Homeowners can downloadthe "Floor Finder" for free at the AppleiTunes store.

Besides doing everything but physicallycompleting the project, technology can be ahuge help in the home improvement process.Homeowners should take advantages ofways to make their lives - and projects - eas-ier.

These useful tools and more can be foundwithin the productivity and utility sectionsof your preferred app store.

Home improvement projects made easier by technology

The school year brings crazy schedules of carpools and ex-tracurricular activities. To help keep some sanity duringyour hectic days, do your "home" work. A few simple stepsto get your house organized and updated can mean lessstress during the year.

Everything has its placeIn the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, things have a

way of being thrown on the floor or misplaced when enter-ing or exiting the home. Stop the chaos now by establishinga location for everyday items such as keys, shoes, jackets andbackpacks to ensure everything has its place. It's easy to cre-ate a storage area in your mudroom. Cubbies, hooks and bas-kets make hanging items effortless and also provide a placeto store extra objects or sports equipment.

Super saversTo prevent added stress and chaos, be sure to plan ahead

for the busy weeknights after school and work. You can savetime and money by preparing meals for the week during theweekend. Sundays are a perfect day to cook up some nutri-tious and delicious dinners to freeze for the following week.Have your children help out and not only will you be ableto spend quality time with the family, but you'll also makesure the menu is to everyone's liking.

Not a big fan of cooking? Another option is to have mealsprepared for you. Companies, such as Super Suppers, canhelp prevent dinner stress. You can select dinner entreeswithin your price range, pick them up at your convenienceand cross another item off the to-do list.

Kitchen and bath clean upAs two of the most used

rooms in the home, thekitchen and bathroom, canquickly become messy. Helpto keep these high-traffic ar-eas looking clean with an in-novation that not only savestime, but also makes clean-up a snap. With the new SpotResist finishes from Moen,you no longer have to worryabout cleaning your faucets.Available at Lowe's and TheHome Depot, this innovationdoes what it says - resists fin-gerprints and water spots -for a designer look that maintains the beauty and brillianceof the faucet in between cleanings. It'll give you more timeto do what you like, with one less kitchen and bathroomchore on your list.

Study zone set up Help your children have a successful school year by cre-

ating a productive study area. Locate a spot with minimaldistractions to set up a desk and chair with all of their booksand materials. Be sure the room has sufficient lighting andkeep necessary supplies such as pens, calculators and refer-ence materials on hand. To help prevent wasted study time,consider adding a power charger or charging station foritems like laptops and smart phones.

Visual and digital plannerBeing super mom or super dad during the school year is

tough while juggling your children's schedules and yourown. Get organized with a visual or digital planner so younever have to worry about missing a doctor's appointment,school play, cheerleading or football practice again. Hang amaster calendar that lists all of the important family activi-ties and appointments. A mesh bulletin board is a great op-tion, such as the one from Crate and Barrel, that comes withboth push pins and magnets. And, as a bonus, it cleans offeasily with a damp cloth. For those who prefer the digitalworld, be sure to sync up schedules in Outlook and set au-dible reminders.

The school year brings both joys and challenges. Help tokeep your family's spirits up by completing these easy"home" work tasks early to ensure an enjoyable time for all.

Autumn in the gardenBy Charlie Nardozzi & Leonard Perry

Harvesting winter squash and pumpkins, moving peonies,and shredding leaves are some of the gardening activities Ver-monters will be taking care during early autumn.

You can harvest winter squash and pumpkins any timethey're mature—that is, when the rinds are too tough to punc-ture with a thumbnail. Some gardeners wait until a light frostkills back the vines, to allow the squash as much time as possi-ble to mature.

To harvest, use a knife to cut the stem an inch or two abovethe squash or pumpkin. If you didn’t grow any pumpkins thisyear, visit a local grower or roadside stand. Use them for dec-orating, plain or painted, carved, and for cooking pies androasting seeds.

Any fall weeding you do will reduce your weeding chores inthe spring. Pull weeds before they set seed if they haven’t al-ready, and you eliminate the task of pulling all those littleseedlings. A single weed plant may set hundreds, or even thou-sands, of seeds, so don't delay. Remove tough perennial weedssuch as dandelion and burdock by digging out their roots. Fallweeding is rewarding as the weeds wont grow back this sea-son, as they do during the summer.

Fall is a good time to test your soil's pH or acidity. This is cru-cial to making nutrients available to plants. By adding any nec-essary amendments now, they'll have time to break down overthe winter since they tend to be slow acting. Extension Serviceoffices do soil tests for a nominal fee, and the test results in-clude recommendations for improving the soil. Most plantsprefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.5 to 6.8 (a pH of 7 isneutral). New England soils tend to be acidic and require theaddition of lime to "sweeten" the soil, or raise the pH.

As soon as frost kills back the tops of tender, summer-flow-ering bulbs, such as dahlias, gladiola, and tuberous begonias,it's time to dig the bulbs to store indoors over the winter. Gen-tly brush the soil from the bulbs, allow them to dry for day ortwo, then set them in dry peat moss or vermiculite and storethem in a cool (40 to 50 degrees F), non-freezing, dark place.Don’t hold dahlias too long before storing, or they’ll begin to

dry out and shrivel.Now, too, is the time to plant spring-flowering bulbs such as

tulips and daffodils.

community book standards—“Times have changed. Today, it’s really up to parents to monitor

what their children are reading,” Clark noted. “And one parent, orone group, can’t be the judge of what the children of other parentsshould be reading.”

Vermont public libraries haven’t had much trouble with bannedbooks, according to Clark. Vermonters appear to be more tolerantof diverse opinions than elsewhere.

Most Vermont libraries strive to keep the shelves stocked withbooks that are of value to the community—from reference to fic-tion titles—Clark stressed. But sometimes, works of fiction, evennon-fiction, will be offensive to someone.

The freedom to read requires eternal vigilence and engagedreaders, librarians, booksellers and elected officials. Thankfully,Vermont is blessed with many citizens who care deeply about theprinted word and their right to it.

In a recent rival boyssoccer match up, thevisiting Black River

Presidents scored a goalearly, then made it stand ina 1-0 victory over the GreenMountain Chieftains inChester. It was the season-opener for the Presidents,while the Chieftains (atpress time) fell to 0-2 on theyoung season.

In a defensive struggle most of the way and after somerain and lightning had delayed the first half by some 40minutes, Black River largely outplayed Green Mountainespecially which allowed them to get a few scoringchances early, one in which they were able to cash in.

"Outside of about a 20 minute period towards the end, Ifelt we did a pretty good job of containing their offense,"Black River coach Tony Valente said. "Although we are arelatively inexperienced group our strength is in the back,so we did a pretty good job at making the one goal stand

up. However, Coach Walker has his kids playing hard andtogether as a team."

Less than 10 minutes into the match and before the raindelay, Black River senior Noah Schmidt lofted a shot off acorner kick into the box and although G.M. keeper JacobWalker jumped and got his finger tips on it, the ballbounced right in front of Tim Rumrill who tapped it in forthe score. It would prove to be the game-winner.

Neither team could get much going offensively the restof the way, although Chieftain senior Jason Albert had abreakaway right after the lone goal in which Black Rivergoalkeeper Kyle Milligan raced out to challenge the balland managed to smother it before Albert could get a shotoff.

Despite several good opportunities early in the firsthalf, Black River could not capitalize again, as G.M. begantaking away the outside lanes as to eliminate crosses thathad created some good opportunities for the Presidents.

"We did a good job at making the proper adjustments af-ter that early goal," Green Mountain Coach Scott Walkersaid in a post-game interview. "Despite our two losses tostart the season, I am pleased with our progress and thisteam is going to keep getting better. The wins will come."

For the match, Black River held a 9-2 edge in shots ongoal, while also having the upper hand on corner kicks, 6-0. Both teams will next participate in Black River's annualJosh Cole Tournament to be held over the weekend atDorsey Park in Ludlow.
