MIDDLEBURY — ”Double trouble”was the term Zubrin Tree Service line-man Mike Zubrin used to describe thesecond of two winter storms to hammerVermont. O’Hara, who was removing asnow-laden pine that took down a pow-er line to a house on private ValmontDrive in Leicester, said the Dec. 27 snowstorm was the flip side of a vicious windstorm that hit the area Dec. 21.

“The world may not have ended asthe ancient Mayans predicted Dec. 21,”he said, “but storms Dec. 21 and Dec. 27have me thinking they must have beenthinking about us.”

In less than a week after restoringpower to more than 34,000 customers,Green Mountain Power storm man-agers, line workers and support staffwere back it again—this time scram-bling to greet Winter Storm Euclid, theU.S. Weather Service’s official name of2012’s big swan song.

According to a GMP news statementDec. 28, winds approaching 50 mphwere recorded along the western slopesof the Green Mountains and along theRoute 7 corridor from the Massachu-setts border to southern Rutland Coun-ty.

"Preparation began with a conferencecall Christmas Day once the forecaststarted taking shape," GMP spokesmanJeremy Baker said.

RUTLAND — GMPcrews restored power to28,000 customers by lateafternoon Saturday, andwill once again workthrough the night and intoSunday and Monday to re-store service to the 3,700customers still withoutpower following Friday’shurricane-force winds.

“We’re making steadyprogress in most areas, butwe still have a lot of workahead of us in western Rut-land County and AddisonCounty,” GMP spokesper-son Jeremy Baker said.“As we complete restora-tion in other areas, we willbe moving dozens moreworkers into the westernsections overnight andSunday morning to speedthe recovery effort.”

Hardest-hit areas in-clude the Lincoln, Starks-boro, Ripton and Goshenareas in Addison County,and in Rutland County, thePoultney, Wells, Castleton,Brandon and Pawlet areas.

The most remote cus-tomers in those areas maynot have power untilChristmas Eve, thoughcrews will be workingaround the clock. In theseinstances, lineworkers of-ten have several hours ofwork to bring back on oneor two homes, whichmakes the final restorationwork take longer than re-pairs at the beginning of astorm event. In the Poult-ney-Castleton area alone,18 broken poles must be re-placed before restorationis complete.

Vermont farmers share gift of experience beyond U.S.By Lou [email protected]

MIDDLEBURY — When you con-sider the hardships endured by Ver-mont’s small-family farms—fromweather events and product priceswings to personal and financialchallenges—it’s tough to imaginethese local farmers having muchtime to reach out and help foreignfarmers with their localized strug-gles.

But since this is the season of giv-ing, it may not be too surprising tosee that our farmers are happy tolend a helping hand beyond our bor-ders.

Several Vermont farmers arepreparing for a rugged, volunteer

trip to El Salvador, where they willgive and receive the most sustainingChristmas season gift of all—knowl-edge.

Later this month, according toCaitlin Gildrien of the NortheastFarming Association-Vermont—orNOFA-Vermont, for short—willspend several weeks working in ElSalvador.

The volunteer farmers and mem-bers of NOFA-Vermont will serve asFarmer-to-Farmer volunteersthrough Winrock International.

Once on the ground in El Sal-vador, the farmers will instruct Sal-vadoran farmers about organicfarming as well as how to markettheir produce.

MIDDLEBURY — Leave it to MiddleburyCollege to bring some of the nation’s mostunusual performers, and performances, tothe Green Mountain State. This month, thecollege will showcase an acclaimed Texastheater company called the Rude Mechs.

If the troupe’s name doesn’t get your at-tention, their balls-to-the-walls performanc-es will do the trick. And beware: This groupof Austin-based actors use strong languageand nudity to tell a fascinating story of on—

and off—stage drama. The Rude Mechs will be on the Middle-

bury College campus for two performancesof an indescribable play titled, “The MethodGun”, Jan. 18- 19.

Described rather cavalierly as “a daringplay”, “The Method Gun” is inspired by Stel-la Burden, an obscure stage performer andteacher who split the U.S. for South Ameri-ca during the 1970s. Burden’s approach toher stage craft melded American methodswith weird, “risk-based” rituals to infusesex, death and violence through the per-formances—strong, adult stuff for any actorto tackle.

“The Method Gun” also takes some stagenods from Tennessee Williams’ “A StreetcarNamed Desire”, and thus, the whole produc-tion becomes, as the Mechs’ own publicityreads, “a high-risk creative process.”

Of course students will receive the mostbenefit from the Rude Mechs’ visit to Mid-dlebury. The Texas troupe will be a campusguest for a week as they perform, meet, andguide Midd theater students in several on-campus classes and workshops.

“The Method Gun” attempts to reenactsthe final months of the notorious nine-year-long, marathon Stella Burden productionlead up to “Streetcar”. A lot of the play’sbackstory comes from letters and diaries ofthe original performers.

“As the Rude Mechs create work for ad-venturous theater-goers, the companyworks hard to demystify the art-makingprocess, fostering real communication withand responsiveness to patrons by holdingworkshops, talkbacks, and open rehearsalsalong the way,” according to the college’sLiza Sacheli Lloyd.” In Middlebury, theRude Mechs will work with college actingstudents throughout the week—thanks tosupport from the Rothrock Family Fund forExperiential Learning in the PerformingArts—and will offer talkbacks with audi-ences after each of the performances. Theirperformances are sponsored by the Middle-bury College Performing Arts Series, theTheatre Program, and the Committee on theArts.”

Sacheli Lloyd passes along this caveat fortheater goers: “The Method Gun is gearedfor adult audiences, and does include strongcontent and nudity.”

The Rude Mechs will perform “TheMethod Gun”, at 8 p.m., on Friday, Jan. 18,and Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Mahaney Cen-ter for the Arts, Seeler Studio Theatre.

The Mahaney Center is located on theMiddlebury College campus, at 72 Porter

Field Rd., in Middlebury, just off Route 30south.

Tickets are $25 for the general public; $20for Middlebury College faculty, staff, alum-ni, emeriti, and other I.D. card holders; and$6 for Middlebury College students.

Police Reports

Rude Mechs to bring lots of passion, nudity to local stage

The Rude Mechs will be on the Middlebury College campus for two performances of an indescribable playtitled, “The Method Gun”, Jan. 18- 19.

By Lou [email protected]

MIDDLEBURY — Few ofus get to realize our life’sdreams before the final cur-tain call, but for former Mid-dlebury resident MollyBrady, 33, the journey is justas important as actuallyachieving the prize—and itshould be a lot fun all alongthe way.

Brady, a 1997 graduate ofVergennes Union HighSchool and a 2001 graduateof Castleton State College, isfollowing her star by becom-ing a SAG-AFTRA card-car-rying television and filmscreen actress.

“I wanted to act my entirelife,” Brady said during a re-cent Christmas visit to herhometown of Middlebury.“I’ve always been interestedin T.V. and movies and thelives of actors. I took dramaclasses and knew that, littleby little, I would start to fo-cus on pursuing acting as aprofessional actor.”

In 2003, Brady made upher mind to move west andplant herself in Californiawith all its glam, glitter,promises, and brokendreams.

“After I graduated fromCastleton, I was working aday job here with a Middle-bury College grad. She saidshe wanted to move to SanFrancisco. That was mychance to go out to Califor-nia and not have to make thebig trip alone,” she said.

Brady made the cross-country trip with hercoworker friend. There, shefound herself an apartmentin Marin County, across thebay from San Francisco. Shedecided that waiting on ta-bles was an ideal way tomake ends meet, as well pro-viding the flexibility to en-roll in acting and attend au-ditions.

Brady’s inner drive, tal-ent, and attractive, fashion-model features worked to-gether to give her a jump-start in the Golden State.

“I was very fortunate toconnect with an agent withoffices in both San Franciscoand Los Angeles,” Bradysaid. “So, I began going toauditions in both the Bayarea and L.A.”

It wasn’t cheap flying be-tween San Francisco and LosAngeles, but Brady man-aged, even flying back to theCity of Angels for variouscasting callbacks.

After nearly six years ofcollecting tips, attendingacting classes, playing mi-nor roles, and enduring au-dition rejections, Brady be-gan to mark something of areal emergence. Her firstsuccesses on the screen start-ed in 2009.

You can watch Brady’scharm in “The Filmmaker”,where she plays the charac-ter Maryann, also a strug-gling actress. This underrat-ed, bittersweet independent,or “indie”, movie is about anover-the-hill filmmaker andhis young apprentice as theycavort throughout the San

Francisco Bay area at-tempting to capture magicthrough a lens—with nobudget.

Next came director ImtiazAli’s romantic tale, “LoveAaj Kal”. Brady appears,among a mostly Indian-

name cast, playing an un-credited waitress.

Then followed “Trauma”,the short-lived NBC-TV dra-ma series that was filmed be-tween 2009 and 2010 on thestreets of San Francisco. Theseries followed in the foot-steps of earlier tried-and-true EMT dramas such as“Rescue 8” and “Emer-gency”.

“I appeared as an extra on‘Trauma’ and it’s where I gotsome very good work,”Brady said.

She appeared in six “Trau-ma” episodes, all uncreditedsave for episode 3, titled“Bad Day at Work”.

“I received a screen creditfor my non-speaking role inthat episode,” she said. “Iwas a junior office executivewho is shot and killed. I wascovered in stage blood withlots of EMTs hoveringaround my body. It was anexciting production.”

Even before “Trauma” leftthe airwaves, Brady was go-ing on auditions, constantlyplanning ahead for a bur-geoning career in a volatilefield.

She also attended actingclasses, with teacher NancyBerwid, and found time tomarry her sweetheart, andCalifornia native, LukeArno. While not an actor,Arno assists Brady in her ca-reer; he works at a success-ful Silicon Valley technologyfirm.

Following “Trauma”,Brady landed a part in thefeature-length pilot film forthe current NBC series “Par-enthood”. Then, in 2012,came appearances on thefantasy crime series “Alca-traz”, and in a short, titled“Mi Tierra”, currently inpost-production work.

Starting a new year, Bradyis excited about her most re-cent role in the motion pic-

ture “The Internship.”Currently in postproduc-

tion, the film reunites the ac-tors of “The Wedding Crash-ers”. Brady, as the characterJennifer, appears on screenwith actors Owen Wilson,Vince Vaughn, and Will Far-rell.

“Owen hits on me in ascene I play with RoseByrne,” Brady said. “It’sfunny. I am especially proudto be involved with the pro-duction.” The film will pre-miere this June, but Brady isnot certain if she and herhusband will attend the L.A.gala.

For some folks, a few Hol-lywood successes might goto their heads, but not Brady.

“You have to really wantto become an actor,” shesaid, “otherwise why wouldanyone choose a career withso much rejection? Thenagain, I am basically an op-timistic person, so I don’t letfailure get to me.”

Despite pursuing a careerwith emotional highs andlows, bright days and darknights, Brady said it’s im-portant to retain a sense ofhumor and inner perspec-tive. Family is important,she said. She keeps in closetouch with her parents,Mark and Mary Brady ofMiddlebury, as well as hersister Megan, in laws, andextended-family members.

To prove her point, Bradysaid that she cherishes oneof her most outstanding act-ing awards, her very ownOscar award—well, sort of.

Brady’s Oscar isn’t a bonafide Academy Award, atleast not yet. It is, rather, astuffed “Sesame Street” Os-car-the-Muppet doll that herfather presented to her a fewyears ago for a job well done.

And that’s one Oscaraward worth hugging.

From the Editor

A December to rememberAround here, the year 2012 ended with a pair of weather whoppers—two winter

storms that were less than a week apart. For a lot of folks, it was a December toremember.

The storm of Dec. 21 will be remembered for its hurricane-force winds, power outages,and accidents including the death of a Whiting man in a multi-vehicle mishap on U.S.Route 7 on the Middlebury-Salisbury line.

For a lot of us living in Addison County, this pre-Christmas storm packed a bigger wal-lop than Irene and Sandy. Really. This particularly nasty storm came in like a rabid lionand left with a rainbow (see our wind-storm rainbow photograph in this week’s paper).

Curiously, the Dec. 21 storm surprised this Mayan-calendar naysayer. Heck, I never be-lieved the world was going to end Dec. 21, 2012. However, standing near a 60-year-oldwhite pine tree in my front yard at home as it was shedding several, massive limbs dur-ing a hail of 75-mile-an-hour gusts, I wondered if the ancient Mesoamerican mathemati-cians were truly up to something—well, at least for a few dramatic moments.

And then there came the weather event of Dec. 27, officially named Winter Storm Eu-clid by the U.S. Weather Service. It dumped up to 14 inches of heavy snow in Vermont,with the deepest stuff along the slopes of the Green Mountain range. With it came the fa-miliar litany: highway accidents, downed trees and power outages—and giddy skiers.

While it was an especially tough December for Vermont residents, how would you ratethe management and staff of Green Mountain Power? They had the task of keeping thepower on for all of us during the double furies.

We have to hand it to GMP for, what I consider, a job well done. Considering the as-saults of Mother Nature on the utility’s service area, it put a human face on the odioustask; it did a great job by staying on top of many outages, fixing power lines that neededattention first, and then responding, as quickly as was humanly possible, to other hotspots.

While no utility company is perfect, you have to ask yourself: what human thing isever “perfect” when facing the forces of nature?

I don’t think we humans will ever master nature. At best, we can understand it, thendeal with it on those terms. In times of tumult like these, my Brooklyn friend’s 90-year-old mother likes to quote an old Italian proverb: "Piani di uomo, Dio ride." Translation:“Man plans, God laughs.”

The financial results are now infrom the recent 2012 federalelection. We've just participated

in the most expensive election in U.S.history. Over $6 billion was spent byfederal campaigns, super PACs, politicalnonprofits and the party committees.

Here is the split out of how the moneywas spent according to the Center forResponsive Politics.

Presidential Candidates....$1,377,000,000

House Candidates.............$1,010,000,000

Senate Candidates............$720,000,000

Party Committees...............$1,800,000,000

Outside Groups...................$1,210,000,000

What troubles me is how so muchmoney can be spent competing for theseprized positions and yet once in office solittle of the people’s business ever seemsto be accomplished. Because of our earlyproduction deadlines for the New Yearsholiday I’m drafting this column fivedays before we are scheduled to go overthe fiscal cliff. I can only hope thatwhen you read this column the cliff hasbeen somehow avoided, be it a lastminute agreement or perhaps they get itdone with a few hours to spare. Unfortu-nately I’m not optimistic they will get adeal done. They know what needs to bedone but neither side is willing to giveany ground and it appears both thinkthe cliff will provide them cover fromtheir constituents.

Prior to the Christmas holiday con-gressional Republicans were calling outthe President and Democratically con-trolled Senate for not putting forth aplan to avoid the cliff. Now that thePresident has returned from Hawaii andthe US Senate has been reconvened bySen. Harry Reid they are dishing it backout to the Republicans who will not re-turn until the weekend.

Wouldn’t you think these masterfulcampaigners who’ve raised so muchmoney and command so much power

could domore thanplay child-ish gamestrying toshow eachother upand somehow in theirself cen-tered ap-proachthink that we buy these foolish antics?Well, the sad reality is most of us fallinto lock step behind our party affilia-tion. We let them play these games in-stead of demanding greater accountabili-ty.

In a recent Reuters Poll 27 percent ofthose polled blame Republicans, 16 per-cent blamed the President, 6 percentblame the Democrats and only 31 per-cent blame the whole bunch for the fiscalcliff debacle. With numbers like that is itany wonder our national elected officialshave found it easy to play politics in-stead of solving problems? They have usexactly where they want us. We givethem everything they want. We treatthem like royalty. We are so graciouswhen they bring home our tax dollarsand act as if it’s manna from heaven.

As a nation we should be so over-whelmingly outraged that we find ournation in this position. When it’s theirelection or re-election at stake thesefolks demonstrate they know how to getdown to business and work tirelessly.When it is the people’s business orneeds, they somehow can’t get out ofeach others way. We have no one toblame but the person in the mirror anduntil we refuse to put any money intotheir re-elections nothing will reallychange. If we want real change let’smake the funds spent in the 2016 elec-tion the least expensive election in U.S.history.

lineworkers and tree trimmers are hard at work repairingsome of the most intense devastation workers have seen foryears. Friday’s winds, clocked over 70 mph in many areasand over 117 mph on top of Mount Mansfield, knocked hun-dreds of trees onto power lines and snapped poles at the

base. Crews are experiencing difficult conditions, includ-ing trees across roads, blocked driveways and icy roads.

“We are at the point where it can take a long time to bringback a handful of customers,” said Baker. “For example, inPoultney today it took seven hours of work to restore serv-ice to 15 customers.”

Gildrien said the instruction will be on how to improvefarming practices for going organic, and “ultimately, in-crease their ability to earn an income and feed their families.”

The upcoming trip to El Salvador will be the first timeNOFA-Vermont and Winrock are partnering on organic farm-ing practices outside the U.S.

“This will offer opportunities for Vermont’s organic pro-ducers to support other farmers’ success and continue to im-prove their own businesses through in-depth learning oppor-tunities,” according to Gildrien.

NOFA officials announced that the first three Vermontfarmer volunteers will Charles Mitchell, Tom Honigford, andPatrick Sullivan.

The trio will arrive in San Salvador sometime in mid Jan-uary.

A month later, Gildrien added, farmer Howard Prussack—who was a recent volunteer working with farmers in Bur-ma—will be the leader of a second group of Vermont organ-ic-farming volunteers to head to Latin America.

And to complete the Farmer-to-Farmer program with Ver-mont, a third group will head to El Salvador in April.

The spring trek will differ from the first two trips in thatit will focus on dairy and cheese production as well as ani-mal husbandry.

“Together, these teams will impart valuable skills andknowledge that most rural Salvadoran farmers are unable toaccess,” according to NOFA’s Gildrien. “Along the way, thevolunteers, too, will learn from the farmers they work withand apply those experiences to their lives and businesseshere in Vermont.”

The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont isa nonprofit association of farmers, gardeners, and consumerswhich supports and promotes organic farming and products.

Winrock International is a nonprofit organization thatworks around the world in agriculture and the environment.

From News & Staff Reports MIDDLEBURY — Board

members of the Montpelier-based, non-profit EthanAllen Institute announcedthe election of Robert Roper,of Stowe, as the libertarianthink tank's new president.

Roper, who has served onthe institute’s board for thepast year and hosted its in-fluential Common Sense Ra-dio weekday talk show onWDEV, will head a new pro-gram to educate Vermonterson the fundamentals of afree society such as individ-ual liberty, limited govern-ment, lower taxes, competi-tive free enterprise, econom-ic opportunity, fiscal re-sponsibility, and respect forthe constitution.

“The values and princi-ples that made our countrythe most prosperous societythe world has ever seenmust be celebrated and pro-tected,” Roper said. “We be-lieve in and fight for theideals laid out in our Decla-ration of Independence andConstitution because theywork. Today, we are wit-nessing a systematic erosionof our rights and, sadly, theVermont government isleading the way with a hostof confiscatory taxes, unjustmandates, and ideologicalexperiments in social engi-neering. Our task is to wakeVermonters up while there isstill time to avert a tragedy.”

The Ethan Allen Institutemakes the case for policyproposals with research andcommentary on taxation, ed-ucation, health care, energyand other important issues.

EAI Board Chairman JackMcMullen, who unsuccess-fully ran for Vermont Attor-ney General, said “I haveknown, worked with and re-spected Rob Roper for manyyears, and I am thrilled thathe will now bring his talentsto the service of free marketsand economic opportunityby leading the Institute.”

Roper, a graduate ofKenyon College in Ohio,came to Vermont in 1998 af-ter eight years as an adver-tising writer and marketingstrategist with three interna-

tional advertising compa-nies.

In Vermont, Rob has pro-vided marketing services fora number of local businessesand organizations. In publiclife, he has worked in sever-al political campaigns andserved for three years aschairman of the Vermont Re-publican State Committee.

Roper and his wife Hilarylive in Stowe with their twochildren. He succeeds inter-im President Bruce Shieldsof Eden, who will return tothe institute’s 18-memberadvisory council.

Commentaries, preparedby the Ethan Allen Insti-tute's John McClaughry, ap-pear in this newspaper reg-ularly.

"Several line workers and assessment teams from the northern areas of our companytraveled to Wilmington and Brattleboro ahead of the storm.

Nearly 40 contract line workers from as far away as Ontario joined forces with GMPline workers and tree trimmers to ensure that we had plenty of resources."

Euclid’s snow accumulated from 8 to 14 inches, depending on elevation.Area ski resorts were cashing in on the fresh snow blanket. Middlebury Ski Bowl was gearing up for students and other skiers in the area for New

Year ’s. Both Killington and Okemo ski resorts posted “live” website content which pro-moted the big snowfall.

Killington’s colorful website banner boasted “18 inches of new snow and counting”during the day Dec. 27.

Vermont’s stormy season hasn’t only attracted visiting skiers; it has affected local res-idents and impacted social media.

GMP’s Baker noted that the utility has just added a "Power Out" button on its Face-book page. Customers—assuming they can get online during a storm—can report an out-age from home or at work.

”Along with Facebook, you can also report outages by calling 1-888-835-4672," Bakeradded.

BRISTOL — Members ofLibanus Lodge 47 of the Freeand Accepted Masons inBristol donated winterclothing to needy studentsat Lincoln ElementarySchool as a part of the GrandLodge of Vermont’s Warmthe Children project.

Welch returns to Congressional energy committeeBURLINGTON — U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D) will return to the U.S. House Committee

on Energy and Commerce in the 113th Congress and has been appointed to the Demo-cratic Steering and Policy Committee. He will remain a member of the House Democrat-ic leadership team as a chief deputy whip.

Welch previously served on the Energy and Commerce Committee in the 111th Con-gress where he played a leadership role in passing health care reform, climate change,and energy efficiency legislation.

Nine Democrats, including Welch, were dropped from the committee in 2011 when Re-publicans gained control of the House.

Appointed by for Speaker of the House, now the Democrat minority’s leader NancyPelosi (D-Calif.), Welch is also joining the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.The Committee is the policy arm of the House Democratic Caucus and makes recommen-dations to Leader Pelosi on Member committee assignments.

A second committee assignment for Welch has yet to be determined.
