PITTSFORD — The Pitts-ford Haunted House is oneof the area’s favorite, spook-iest Halloween destinations.
Originally a children’s sani-tarium in the years follow-ing World War I, the oldhaunted house and groundsin Pittsford are now ownedby the Pittsford School Dis-trict.
With no modern use, the
idea occurred to local fire-fighters that the old hospitalcould be the perfect settingfor an annual fundraisingevent the would the all-vol-unteer Pittsford Fire Depart-ment solvent. Since itsfounding, the Pittsford
Haunted House has receivedvolunteer help from otherlocal squads including theBrandon Fire and RescueSquad.
A fun-loving crew of 100firefighters and other volun-teer staffers keep the tricksand treats coming year afteryear. By the looks of theplace, it looks like these fireguys and dolls missed theircalling as Hollywood specialeffects artists.
There are plenty of scary corners and rooms in he Pittsford Haunted House:the Crypt Keeper ’s Cham-ber, the Pittsford Morgue,Doc’s Room, the Execution-er ’s Room and the Big Drum.
Some visitors to thehaunted house enjoy a ridein what can only be de-scribed as a “funbulance”, aspacious 1972 Cadillac am-bulance that must have beencustom-designed by GomezAddams.
The event will be held Oct.22-23, and Oct. 29-30. Ad-mission is charged.
Follow the funky hand-painted road signs, northand sign, along U.S. Route 7to find your way to the Pitts-ford Haunted House site orcall 483-2931 for directions.

The late actor Peter Boyle as Dr. Frankenstein’s lovable monsterin Mel Brooks’ comedy classic film “Young Frankenstein” at theParamount Theatre Oct. 28.
Just as New York City has itsdarkish doppelganger,Gotham City of the comic-books, so, too Rutland Citymorphs into its noir twin—let’s call it “Halloween City”—every year. This fact is duemostly to the growing popu-larity of Rutland’s downtownHalloween parade and spookyarea events leading up to thebig event.
But Rutland’s annual cos-tume parade wouldn’t havethe high profile it has today ifit weren’t for several popularcomicbook superhero capersin the 1970s and ‘80s that fea-tured this local fright-nighthappening. Thus, Rutland’sHalloween Parade has gainedan international reputation, atleast among comicbook fans,as a kind of autumnal MardiGras where even Supermanand Batman feel at home.
Despite this Halloweenaura, families are the focushere and everyone has fun; theevent, while spooky enough, isa safe and wholesome affair.
To help bring out the ghouls
and goblins in downtown thisHalloween, Paramount The-atre officials just announcedthree big-screen films thatwillbe screened over threedays—a nice touch to celebrateRutland’s Halloween Week.
•Mel Brooks classic 1970sera “Young Frankenstein”stars Gene Wilder as the madscientist Dr. Frankenstein andPeter Boyle as the doctor ’smonster. One screening only,Thursday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m.
•The original 1920 classicsilent “Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde”, stars John Barrymorewith live original score accom-paniment by a three-pieceBoston-based band will showone screening only, Friday Oct29 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $6 and$4.
•Comedy favorite “Ghost-
busters” from the 1980s starsBill Murray and Dan Ackroydand will show Saturday, Oct.30 at 1:30 p.m. and immediate-ly following downtown Rut-land’s Halloween Parade at8:30 p.m.
According to the Para-mount, the silent version “DrJekyll...” movie, especiallywith its live music accompani-ment from Devil Music En-semble, is something new forthe Big Flicks at the Paramountseries. It’s the first classic silentshown in the new film initia-tive with live music accompa-niment is a first time endeavorfor the Paramount. It is alsolikely the first time this silentfilm has been accompanied bylive music in a Rutland cinemasince its debut here in 1920.
Boston-based DME is a trio
with an expansive sound thatworks well in the silent-filmmedium. Its members includeBrendon Wood on guitar andsynthesizer; Jonah Rapino onelectric violin, vibraphone,and synthesizer, and Tim Ny-lander on percussion and syn-thesizer.
The DME has done twotours in Europe with perform-ances of Barrymore’s “Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”.

Guest ViewpointMore Middlebury parking: time to get it in gear
With the completion of the Cross Street Bridge,it's fair to conclude that downtown Middleburyhas changed. Not that the bridge made the
change all by itself; no, the changes have been coming forseveral years.
Step-by-step during the past decade of so, a tree removedhere, a local department store out-of-business there. Thebridge and the structures that go with it (islands, rotary, etal) simply makes it impossible to pretend anymore thatMiddlebury is as local, resident-friendly as it was 20 yearsago. Yes, it's becoming a nice place, but it’s more sanitized,more upscale for visitors to bide their time, and maybe dropa few bucks. But then there are the rest of us who live here.
I fully expect the municipal building to eventually be soldto Middlebury College and for the rotary (whatever hap-pens to it now) to be used for signage announcing one's ar-rival at the Middlebury campus. Step-by-step.
Nonetheless, we are here. Regardless of what downtownMiddlebury is or will become, regardless of whether anyonefavors or hates these changes, everyone who frequents thedowntown shops has been affected perhaps most notably bythe step-by-step loss of parking. A few spaces in front of theU.S. Post Office. Then a few spaces in front of Sama's. Late-ly, a lot of temporary parking spaces with the bridge projectunderway. Whether you live in Middlebury or are just visit-ing, here’s the reality: you have to be able to park your carto get around.
We don't need an economic development person (read:expensive town employee paid by local taxpayers.) That'swhat entrepreneurs are for. The purpose of government isnot to pick and choose what businesses should be here.
What Middlebury residents and visitors do need is aplace to park. And as much as it kills me to say this: I thinkI'm talking about a parking structure.
Should it be behind the library? The parking lot behindand below and Sama's? In the Marbleworks? Maybe some-where else? I don't know.
If businesses downtown want to stay in business, therehas to be easy, convenient parking. Shoppers think aboutthese kinds of things—I know I do when i go shopping. Vis-itors think about them, too. And Middlebury town officialsshould start thinking about them, too.

Is our Sun part of a double-star system? It’s not anidea students hear about in introductory astronomycourses, but there’s some reason to believe the Sun
has a brown dwarf companion, nicknamed the NemesisStar.
Giant, cool quasi-stars are known as brown dwarfs; theymay look like Jupiter but they are not gas giants.
Brown dwarfs are neither planets no stars; they are be-twixt and between objects—less massive than a star to beable to ignite internal thermonuclear fusion, but too mas-sive to fall within the International Astronomical Union’smealy definition of what a planet is (or isn’t, dependingon the current day of the week).
NASA-JPL’s nifty WISE space telescope—short forWide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer—should be able tospot Nemesis, if it exists, during its tenous remaining mis-sion status.
Launched in 2009, the probe ran out-of-fuel just a fewweeks ago. However, like the Eveready Battery bunny, it’sstill sending back deep-space data. WISE has discovered19 comets, more than 33,500 asteroids including 120 near-Earth objects—so far. Astronomers are expecting lots morefun stuff in WISE’s amazing post-mortem telemetry down-loads. Will Nemesis be among WISE’s remaining surpris-es? Time is running out.
The Nemesis Star theory was first proposed during the1980s by American paleontologists Dave Raup and JackSepkoski with considerable work contributed by astro-physicist Richard A. Muller. The trio tried to explain cycli-cal mass extinctions here on Earth with the idea that a reddwarf star, located 1.5 light years away from us, was theculprit.
The Nemesis theory proposes that the Sun’s unseen qua-si-stellar companion periodically disturbs the Oort Cloud,in the outer reaches of the solar system to hurtle dinosaur-killing asteroids and comets Sunward. It may even indi-rectly affect climate change. If Nemesis doesn’t quite cap-ture the drama of it all for ya, how about the nickname afew researchers have called this hypothetical object—theDeath Star, a nod the giant battlestation of the “Star Wars”sci-fi saga.
According to NASA-JPL’s WISE mission website, browndwarfs have less than eight percent of the mass of the Sun;this means that the fusion reaction that keeps the Sun hot
can’t get started. And be-cause brown dwarfs can’t beobserved in visible light(you can spot them in in-frared light), they go unde-tected in the night sky.
Brown dwarfs can be thesame size as Jupiter, butthere the comparison stops.These objects are ultraheavy, with masses up to 80 times that of a typical Jovianworld. In fact, many brown dwarfs might be the center oftheir own solar systems.
The paleontologists David Raup and Jack Sepkoskiclaim that, over the last 250 million years, life on Earth hasfaced extinction in a 26-million-year cycle. Astronomersproposed comet impacts as a possible cause for these ca-tastrophes.
Ok, Nemesis is admittedly a cool theory, but where’s thebeef?
There’s one possible signature of Nemesis: it’s a dwarf-planet called called Sedna.
Sedna was discovered in 2003 by American astronomerMike Brown. This icy world—named after an Eskimo god-dess of the underworld—orbits the Sun far beyond Pluto.
According to Brown, Sedna shouldn't be there. “There'sno way to put Sedna where it is,” he said. “It never comesclose enough to be affected by the Sun, but it never goesfar enough away from the Sun to be affected by otherstars.”
Even Brown admits he may be overlooking somethingdistant and slow moving affecting Sedna’s odd orbit—Nemesis.
NASA-JPL’s WISE mission should complete its map ofthe entire sky by the end of this month. If Nemesis is dis-covered among the digital data—which not be processedfor motnhs—you’ll hear about; such a discovery wouldmake front-page news around the world.

Getting WISE on Nemesis
By Lou Varricchio
Seeing Stars
Quite a few midsize forests have been leveled to furnishthe paper for writings on Jamestown 70, the Yale LawSchool faculty/student exploration of the politics of a
progressive take-over of a small state to demonstrate how bril-liantly the brightest-among-us would govern if given a chance.
Like the original Jamestown settlers—outsiders from a highercivilization landing in A.D. 1607 amongst the indigenous aborig-ines to improve them, whether they wanted improvement ornot—the A.D. 1970 designers intended—as the late Barbara Ol-son, a victim of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, phrased it in“Hell to Pay”— for “…Those with a heightened consciousness tomigrate to a safer place…to create their own realities…in suchplaces as Vermont…” and make the Jamestown 70 proposal lessof a theoretical and more of a down-to-earth approach to radicalfederalism.
Read it for yourself on pp. 61-62 of Olson’s Hillary Clinton bi-ography. Debate has continued ever since on the subsequent de-mographic revolution in Vermont.
Was it as organized, as Olson argues, or simply the sum of tensof thousands of babyboomer decisions to reject their parents’suburbia to “do their own thing” in a then-more-rural environ-ment?
The fiscal background isn’t debatable: as more than 50,000 hitson Google illustrate, the nationwide wealth transfer from SilentGeneration parents to Boomer Generation offspring has beensome $41 trillion, quite enough to create a new phenomenon ofthe trust-fund economy in small governances like Vermont, notyet a clear demographic majority but certainly a now-dominantcrunchy-Progressive presence.
Earlier examples, such as the Webb family in Charlotte and theBillings family in Woodstock, used railroad-based family wealthto play at farming in Vermont in the late 19th century.
New York City trustfunders—so called rural homesteaders—Scott and Helen Nearing farmed their mailbox for their unearnedmonthly checks along with authorship revenues from writingabout “The Good Life”; they played at growing beans in Vermontduring the early 20th century.
But these were few in numbers compared to the Boomers. I’dargue the Boomers have been the overwhelming component ofVermont’s population growth from 360,000 in 1960 to 630,000 to-day—a half-century of negligible natural increase and continuedoutmigration of Yankee natives who, having imprudently failedto select wealthy parents for inheritance purposes, have had toleave and actually earn their own livings elsewhere.
The contemporary battalions of rural homesteaders in Ver-mont aren’t the malefactors of great wealth contemptuously de-scribed by early 20th century GOP-Progressive President TeddyRoosevelt, but neither are they the earlier typical New Englan-ders who earned their way in farming, mill-work, machine tool,or small commerce, living frugally and, saving and investing thewealth which now furnishes some of their grandchildrens’ pas-sive income.
It’s exactly this form of family wealth creation which is nowdiscouraged by Progressive governmental policy.
As politician and amateur economist Ron Paul writes, it’s thesmall-scale savers and investors who have been hardest hit byU.S. Federal Reserve actions to devalue the dollar (only 5 percentof the purchasing power of the 1913 dollar remains from that
year of Federal Reserve estab-lishment) and encourage high-ly progressive income taxation,while keeping interest rates solow (now at .25 percent) thatprudently invested bonds andbanked savings can’t earnmuch.
You’d think passive incomeBoomers nationwide would bemanning and womaning thebarricades to protest—but theyaren’t.
Maybe that’s because, to par-aphrase Nearing-contemporaryF. Scott Fitzgerald, the inde-pendently wealthy are different from you and me; their riches areinvested with sufficient sophistication that they aren’t damagedby Federal Reserve actions to create long-term currency deprecia-tion.
Charged with maintaining currency stability, the Fed has optedfor a constant 2 percent inflation rate (soon to double, so as tostimulate the economy, the Wall Street Journal reports) and to cre-ate a stagnant near-zero return for interest-bearing investments.
Like the debtors at the other end of the wealth scale, the upperincome/higher net worth quintiles benefit from dollar devalua-tion, as their leveraged investments can be more easily paid offand their non-dollar-denominated investments keep pace with,or grow ahead of, their earlier nominal dollar value.
Not so for the middle-income quintile: illustrate how suchpolicies are designed to extract wealth to government from thevery same middle-income quintile which typical politicians claimto be “defending”. In the last decade alone, the Fed has dimin-ished the dollar by 30 cents.
Like most other states, Vermont depends heavily on real estatevalues to generate the property taxes which pay for public educa-tion. Advocates of ever growing per-pupil spending levels arehappy with a deliberately inflationary policy raising the nominalvalue of all that taxable real estate even more than any typicalConsumer Price Index dollar-value-deflator indicates.
Here’s a typical example of the above: the 1960 dollar, accord-ing to the Economic History website calculator, today matches$7.24; but the little house we bought for $18,000 then is worth al-most $400,000 now. That’s a multiplier not of approximately sev-en but of approximately 20, pleasing results for those who invest-ed in real estate rather than savings accounts—equally pleasingfor those who tax it for government spending.
Assuming rates have remained constant (actually, they’re up),they’re taking 20 times as much in the feudal annual rental-due-to-government from supposed free-hold landowners.
Another facet of the current economic picture: trustfunder“rural homesteaders”, who now dominate Vermont politics, fre-quently (anecdotal information, no statistics) arrange to havetheir large purchases, such as land, McMansion, Prius towncar,boat, kids’ college—funded directly by their trusts while they re-port near poverty level personal incomes, to qualify for variouslow tax-bracket, tax-abatement benefits, thus illustrating the skill-ful personal capitalism of avowed anti-capitalists.

Now the temporary ferryservice is still in place pro-viding round-the-clocktransportation across thelake at no cost to passengers,and the underwater struc-tures for the new bridge arenearly completed.
Immediately followingthe bridge's closure, NewYork and Vermont reachedout to the surrounding com-munities through a series ofpublic meetings to gatherfeedback and solicit inputfrom residents and businessowners on both sides of thelake. The states quickly be-gan implementing the com-munities' clear vision forrestoring the corridor with atemporary ferry in the vicin-ity of the bridge and a brandnew Lake Champlain Bridgeat the same location. Com-munity participation wascrucial to choosing the sitefor the temporary ferry andfor picking the design of thereplacement bridge.
VTrans Secretary Dill said"Opening the temporary fer-ry as quickly as possible waskey to restoring the lives ofboth New Yorkers and Ver-monters back to as close tonormal as possible given thecircumstances, and I amheartened at to hear fromboth residents and businessowners that family life andeconomic vitality on bothsides of the lake has re-bounded significantly sincethe first ferry set sail. But aswelcome as the ferry hasbeen, we also realize thatnothing short of opening thenew bridge will completely
restore our communities. Tothat end, everyone can restassured that bridge con-struction will continue non-stop through the winter sothat we can reestablish thisvital economic, social andpublic-safety link as quicklyas possible."
NYSDOT Acting Commis-sioner Gee said, "The NewYork State Department ofTransportation, workingwith the Vermont Agency ofTransportation, took thenecessary steps to assure thesafety of the traveling publicwhen we closed the LakeChamplain Bridge. Thisbridge was an importantpiece of transportation in-frastructure that connectedpeople with employment,education and medical care.Responding to the need forthis transportation link,NYSDOT and Vermontmoved immediately to re-store the connection withtemporary ferry servicewhile the permanent re-placement bridge was beingdesigned. I thank all of ourpartners for their hard workand dedication on this proj-ect, and I especially thankthe communities on bothsides of Lake Champlain fortheir input and patience aswe build a new, state-of-the-art bridge to replace the for-mer historic structure in thislocation."
Cracking in the bridge'ssupport piers prompted theclosure and, if left untreated,could have led to structuralfailure and possible col-lapse, putting motorists andpedestrians in serious dan-ger. By immediately closingthe bridge, New York andVermont were able to ensurethe safety of the travelingpublic.
The original Lake Cham-plain Bridge was demol-ished on Dec. 28, 2009. Whileplanning the complex demo-lition, the states also workedon building infrastructure toaccommodate a temporaryferry. The ferry, carrying mo-torists across Lake Cham-plain every 15 minutes,opened in January of 2010.
In the meantime, the twostates worked on designing
a replacement bridge to belocated in the footprint ofthe old bridge. Several pub-lic meetings were held inNew York and Vermont andthe public was invited tovote in person and on-lineon their preferred bridge de-sign. The publicly preferreddesign, a Modified NetworkTied Arch Bridge built ofsteel with an arch along thecenter span, was ultimatelychosen to replace the LakeChamplain Bridge.
Construction on the newbridge began in June, a shorteight months after closingthe bridge to traffic. Workhas progressed on-schedule,with construction of bridgeabutments and piers underway. Fabrication of the steelbridge members is progress-ing off-site. The project is ontrack to be completed nextSeptember, as scheduled.
Lake bridge: One year later, progress!
One-year anniversary: healing to a frustratedcommunity
Last week’s one-year anniversary event, held in Crown Point, of the closing of the ven-erable Lake Champlain Bridge, involved individuals from both sides of the lake.
On hand were legislators, clergy, business leaders, commuters, a poet, and other res-idents impacted by the closure. Now, a new bridge is rising from the tangled remains ofthe old bridge.

ing the north woods of Vermont and New Yorkfor a strange creature long thought to be ex-tinct—known in folklore as Bigfoot orSasquatch. In the North Country of New York,New England and Quebec, the creature isknown by its regional Indian name, Wejua(wee-jew-ah).
Bigfoot or Wejua sightings are the focus ofthe Northern Sasquatch Research Societybased in Hudson Falls, N.Y. Its members in-clude Frank Siecienski of Hubbardton, BrianGosselin of Whitehall, Cliff South of SouthGlens Falls, and John Pearson and Bill Brannof Glens Falls.
Former Whitehall police officer Brian Gos-selin was an eyewitness to a now famous Au-gust 1976 Bigfoot incident on Abair Road inHampton, N.Y., near the Vermont state line,across from Fair Haven.
Gosselin has been featured on several tele-vision documentaries about Bigfoot.
We continue our multi-part interview withGosselin and fellow NSRS researchers aboutBigfoot sightings in our region:
L.V. Bigfoot and Yeti researchers around theword know you, Brian Gosselin. You were aneyewitness to an amazing event that occurredback in August 1976 in the Whitehall, N.Y.area. Can you please resume where we left offin part 2 of the Wejua Files?
Gosselin: On the night after the thing wasfirst reported, I contacted a New York StatePolice trooper. He was on duty, alone, and Iwas off duty as a Whitehall, N.Y., police offi-cer.
I asked the trooper to join me—me in my carand the trooper in his state police car—and goout (to Hampton, N.Y.) to see for ourselves.
I went out to Abair Road as a skeptic—I re-ally did. But then when I heard my father talk
about it, I started to believe there was some-thing there.
It was after midnight and a cool night forAugust. It was dead silent with better than ahalf-moon in the sky.
The grass in the field I drove my car into (offAbair Road) was above my hips; it was a fieldthe farmer had let go. I drove the car 100 feetoff the main road. (The trooper drove his carinto another part of the field.)
We switched our C.B. radios to a quiet chan-nel where no other people were talking... Hewas in another spot of the field about 1,000yards from me; we were both watching, talk-
ing occasionally—like ’did you see it yet?’,etc.
Off to my right—and in front of the troop-er ’s car—you could hear a noise in the branch-es. There was something in the woods, maybe700 feet away.
A few minutes passed. I next heard thetrooper yell out: “I hear something—what thehell is it?!” Then louder from the trooper: “Iam getting the hell out of here!”
The trooper backed out of the field andheaded back to Whitehall. He was gone. Nowthis is a New York State Police trooper! He justleft me there, alone in the field. It gave me
goosebumps. Next, the branches started moving again.
The way that I can explain this—and I will un-til the day I die—is that if you put a fat per-son in corduroy pants—you know thatswooshing sound the material makes?—well,that’s what I heard. The (swooshing) soundwould start and stop. Start and stop.
I heard no other noises. It was a quiet night. I then realized (that whatever it was it) was
getting closer and closer. I was out of the car with the door open; a
200,000-candle-power electric spotlight in myright hand and a gun in my left hand. Next,something inside told me to turn on the spot-light.
Well, as I turned on the spotlight—maybe30 to 35 feet in front of my vehicle I saw it.
It brought up its hands—they were notpaws—because of the brightness of the light.I could see fingers. It had a lot of hair, hang-ing like on an orangutan’s arms. It had bigeyes that glowed red in the spotlight. It wasreal—right there in front of me. It let out ascream—not like a woman; it was more like ahuman male screaming with a deep-tonevoice. It made every hair on my body standright up!
The instinct to ‘shoo’ it away was there, butthen I thought: is this a man in a monkey suit?And what if I killed somebody? I’d go to jail,cop or not.
Then it turned to move away and saw itsback.
It had muscular tone and its hair was frommid shoulder blade down to the top of its hiparea. You could see leaves and mud caked inits hair.

Photographer joinsFolklife Center staff
Ned Castle joined the Vermont Folklife Center staff as a DigitalMedia Instructor for the Center’s Discovering Community SchoolOutreach Program to K-12 schools.
Castle is a documentary photographer whose first major exhib-it, “In Their Own Words: Stories from Refugees Settled in VermontCommunities”, was produced in partnership with the VermontFolklife Center’s Vision & Voice Documentary Workspace. Subse-quent exhibit projects—“Indigenous Expressions” at the ECHOMuseum and Science Center and the HIGHLOW Project that is cur-rently touring statewide—have met with great critical acclaim.
Castle’s approach to photography mirrors the Vermont FolklifeCenter’s research process in the sense that both strive to under-stand—and portray—another person’s story from their perspectiveand on their terms.
As Castle observes, “I am a storyteller and photography is myvoice. While the quality of my photography is based in part on tech-nique and aesthetic sensibility, I believe that my relationships withpeople and their worlds is what gives me an effective hand at cre-ating images.”
Courses for local vegetable farmers
Though the busy growing season is winding down for veg-etable farmers, opportunities for learning and improving op-erations continue. This fall, the Northeast Organic FarmingAssociation of Vermont (NOFA-Vt.), with support from theUniversity of Vermont (UVM) and the Northeast SustainableAgriculture and Research (NE-SARE) program, will be offer-ing two courses intended to address some of the most press-ing issues for intermediate to advanced farmers.
“On-Farm Energy” and “Marketing that Sells” are boththree-day intensive courses that take place over the course ofseveral weeks in November and December.
“On-Farm Energy: Saving Money through Efficiency andRenewables,” beginning Nov. 4 will cover the most critical as-pects of energy use on vegetable farms. Beginning with anoverview of farm energy use and how to do a simple energyaudit, the course will also cover greenhouses and refrigera-tion in detail, focusing on how equipment choices, innova-tions, and renewables can reduce energy consumption and cutcosts. Speakers for this courseinclude John Bartok of theUniversity of Connecticut,Craig Metz of EnSave in Rich-mond and several innovativelocal farmers.
Beginning Nov. 16, “Mar-keting that Sells” featuresfarm business consultantRose Wilson as well as a num-ber of successful Vermontfarmers. This course willevaluate marketing optionsfor vegetable farms; each par-ticipant will create a practi-cal, action-oriented market-ing plan tailored to their op-eration. Topics to be coveredinclude displays, online mar-keting, branding, events, andstrategies for measuring feed-back.
Both courses will take placein Berlin. Registration foreach is $125; those who regis-ter for both will save $25 onthe total cost. Additionalmentoring and enterpriseanalysis are available to a lim-ited number of participants ineach course. For more infor-mation and to register, visitwww.nofavt.org/annual-events/farmercourses or con-tact NOFA-Vt. at [email protected] or 802-434-4122.

While food shopping on a rainy day lasy week, I passeda neighbor in the sundries aisle; she nodded a greetingand commented, in an exasperated tone, “What about
this rain?” She’s in her 70s. You have to believe she’s witnessed rain thousands of times,
thousands of ways; wouldn’t you think rain would no longer be atopic?
To casually mention the tone of a day or week’s weather whilewaiting online in the U.S. Post Office lobby, I get. People intenselydevoted to making the past, present, or future weather somethingthat matters to the point that it’s their primary source of interest, Ifind to be a curious thing.
Better you should talk about deer.It’s cloudy, rainy and damp today. I know, I know, after writing
about how lame weather talk is, what do I do? I write about theweather. But I’m setting a scene; I’m not stating the obvious, condi-tions that might make some folks—folks who constantly harpabout the weather—not want to take a hike. I’m not some folks.
At the 200 yard, flat run-out finish of my daily hike, my periph-eral vision accepted a not small, not large deer, not 50 feet ahead.
The deer stood still. I mirrored the deer’s stillness. My stillnesslasts only so long. I’ve never done still well. In this case though,partly because I’m solidly middle age, I was able to stay still a goodwhile (as I age, stillness becomes easier to maintain, stiffness, well…) say, well, it’s hard to tell, cause deer stare-down time may passslower than it appears. Anyway, I stood still, staring for no morethan a couple of minutes, during which time my mind was clear ofall things but the deer, and the central casting Northern New Eng-land mid-fall landscape the deer and I shared.
The night prior to the hike, I’d eaten with some friends. Talk oftravel became a topic, and when my turn to spout what foreignlands interest me to the point that I’d sit and watch a public televi-sion special on them, or, travel to them, I came up dry. I tried andtried to come up with a land I might like to visit, but I came up withzip. My friends looked astonished; they must think I’m odd to notwant to travel, I thought.
Cooled from my hike, still standing still, staring at the deer, it hitme. I love Vermont. Not only do I love Vermont, I love the veryspot of Vermont I live. The dirt, rocks, grass, air, slush—the works.I’m in love with Vermont.
Would a man or women, in love with their spouse, travel to an-other being to find nothing much different and no better then what
they have with the one theylove? Some do. I wouldn’t.
When the deer, still staring atme, decided I am absolutelyhopeless, and possess no gamewhat so ever, he moved to leave.But he didn’t just leave. No. Hemade a point of the fact that he’sa deer and I’m a dork.
He lifted his front legs evenlyto just above his shoulders, androcked back—just like Triggerwhen singing cowboy RoyRogers would really get after it.
Then the deer twisted hisbody to the right, touched hisfront legs to the ground, and took off straight away from me, pranc-ing along the hard packed crusher-run gravel road, hoofs click-clacking as he ran. He didn’t prance in a straight line, instead hestrode his head forward hard left, then right, then left again, andback to center, and when he figured I was about in a state of stupe-fied awe, he came to a complete stop. Calmly in place, facing away,his tail a snow white two foot strip of fluffy fur, he bounded up into the air, four legs two feet off the road, and then softly landed,touching his front legs, keeping his rear and both back legs off theground a few seconds longer.
Watching deer run is good entertainment. But what I witnessedtoday while watching that deer, was a, not life changing, but I defi-nitely would say life affirming moment.
With the deer out of sight, hidden by trees on the mountain, Istood, straining to hear strides my pal made as it bounded throughthe woods.
What next? I finished my hike with a smile spread by the knowl-edge that I just saved five grand on a vacation to somewhere I ain’tvisiting for fear I might miss the next show on my spot on the hill.
I’ve been thinking about that deer a bunch.Hard to explain why, really.

Middlebury cider workers picked 104 bushels of apples for the Vermont Foodbank.
By Rachel CarterSpecial to the Eagle
Autumn in Vermontmeans apples, and with Na-tional Hunger ActionMonth, the Vermont Food-bank teamed up with Ver-
mont residents, businesses,and the Vermont Agency ofAgriculture promoting thePick For Your Neighbor pro-gram.
A total of 17 pick-your-own orchards across thestate are participating in thePick For Your Neighbor pro-
gram this fall, inviting peo-ple to pick an extra bag ofapples as a donation to theVermont Foodbank.
The makers of WoodchuckHard Cider closed their ap-ple cidery in Middlebury atthe end of September for thestaff to spend a day picking
apples at Champlain Or-chards in Shoreham. Wood-chuck employees picked atotal of 104 bushels of apples
to donate to the VermontFoodbank for distribution toVermonters.
“Thanks to so many par-
ticipating Vermont or-chards, the Foodbank has ac-cess to fresh, local apples fordistribution, and partici-pants experience a great Ver-mont tradition while help-ing their neighbors in need,”states Theresa Snow, direc-tor of agricultural programsat the Vermont Foodbank.“We are thrilled to havepartnered with WoodchuckCider this year to help raiseawareness and share Ver-mont’s love of apples; fromcider to the hands of all Ver-monters.”
Through the Foodbank’snetwork of 280 food shelves,meal sites, shelters, seniorcenters and after-school pro-grams, as many as 86,000Vermonters access charita-ble food each year.

They froze a frog and it lived. And they hope one day theycan do the same to a human.
The fact is, they knew it would because this species ofwood frog lives in the abject cold, and it has evolved to beable to endure extreme weather to such a point that if it isfrozen solid, properties in its blood stream will enable itscells to stay alive even after a deep freeze.
Scientists have been studying these frogs in hopes thatthey can provide the answers necessary to allow doctors tofreeze human organs for transplant, or even further, cryo-genically freeze living people to awaken them at a later date.
The moral, philosophical, and economic questions of cryo-genic stasis for humans are vast, and few are better to spec-ulate about them than Lois McMaster Bujold, local author ofthe novel “Cryoburn”, which chronicles how these questionsare addressed in an otherworldly futuristic society.
“It’s the old consumer marketing quandary,” she said. “Ifsomething really could give people a second lease on life,then almost everyone would want to do it. Well, what if theydid? What happens to a society in which people can cheatdeath by simply freezing themselves until a cure for what-ever disease they have is discovered? And further, what ifthe practice becomes so commonplace that the people whodecide to go into stasis begin to vastly outnumber the livingwho must care for them? What happens to population con-trol, the generational tug-of-war over natural resources, andthe problem of awakening decades later without a grasp ofthe changes that took place while you were frozen?”
Bujold studied the current day state of the art of cryogenicfreezing, and is aware of the recent direction of research touse cryobiology to extend the life of transplant organs.
“The medical advances over the last 50 years have raisedthe typical life expectancy in the U.S. from an age of barely60 in the 1930s to what it is today, nearly 80 years,” she said.“Now, extend that to being able to freeze humans, and wemay wind up with a vastly different society, overall. Politics,healthcare and medical science would all experience dra-matic shifts to account for a whole new population in flux,and a profit-driven industry that has to balance the moraland ethical responsibility ofcaring for frozen humans.And, as always when vastamounts of money are on thetable, emotions would runhigh, and the dishonestwould have to be kept incheck.”
Should we worry abouthow cryogenic technologycould change our lives?
“I still don’t see practicalcryonics happening in mylifetime, but about techno-logical change in general, Isay bring it on. We’ll muddlethrough somehow, keepingwhat works and discardingthe false starts.” She added,“If we look back into the his-tory of technology in theWestern World, the punditshave always proclaimed thesky would fall because ofnew developments. IVF (invitro fertilization) alarmedthe public when it first camein; now the first IVF babiesare voting citizens and par-ents themselves. The first or-gan transplant ever, bloodtransfusion, is now so rou-tine we scarcely think abouthow miraculous it really is.Human cloning, when per-fected, will deliver simply—a baby.
Bujold believes that we’rea race of explorers at heart,and fear of the unknown runscontrary to our natural stateof being.
“We are pioneers,” sheadded. “We push to discov-ery, and then we poke it andprod it until someone loses afinger, and then we learnhow to do better, what tokeep and what to discard. It’show we have progressed andthrived as a culture, and nomatter what the next newthing is going to be, we’ll fig-ure it out and make it work.”
Bujold is among the mostacclaimed writers in the fieldof science fiction and fantasy,having won the prestigiousHugo Award for best novel
four times, matching author Robert A. Heinlein's record. Hernovella "The Mountains of Mourning" won both the Hugoand Nebula Award. In the fantasy sphere, “The Curse ofChalion” won the Mythopoeic Award for Adult Literatureand was nominated for the 2002 World Fantasy Award forbest novel, and both her fourth Hugo and second Nebulawere for Paladin of Souls.

TIME CAPSULE — A Brandon poster announces a receptionfor U.S. Sen. Stephen Douglas of Illinois on July 25, 1860 inthe Rutland County town. Douglas was nominated for presi-dent at the Democrat Convention in June 1860. He was cam-paigning in New England when he decided to make a specialtrip to his hometown—Brandon, Vt. Douglas was born in Bran-don in 1813. He died shortly after the 1860 election which waswon by Republican Abraham Lincoln.

After months of hard workearlier this year, Devil's BowlSpeedway was transformedfrom a dirt race track to amodern paved speedway. The
venerable track has been aninstitution in western Ver-mont since 1967 and openedits 44th season of racing May23 with its new asphalt sur-
face provided by WilksPaving of West Rutland.
"Working with a local com-pany like Wilks is the way Ilike to do business," said trackpromoter Jerry Richards."Chris Wilks has been withme every step of the way andI couldn't be happier with thefinal product. We worked to-gether using input from MikePerrotte (promoter of Air-borne Park Speedway inPlattsburgh) and Tom Curley(promotor of Thunder Roadin Barre) to design the pro-gressive banking in order toturn this clay track into apaved surface that wouldprovide the same level of ex-citement and competitive rac-ing that we're used to."
Jerry and brother BruceRichards (promoter at Al-bany-Saratoga Speedway inMalta, N.Y.), along with sisterSharon Richards, are partnersof both race tracks and own-ers since 2005.
In the past, Jerry managedthe facilities while Bruce han-dled the promotional respon-sibilities.
This year Bruce took on allaspects of management at Al-bany-Saratoga and Jerry willdo the same at Devil's Bowl.
Jerry noted "Bruce lives inNew York and I live in Ver-mont. It just made good busi-ness sense. It would havebeen a big enough learningcurve for both of us withoutthe decision to go to pave-ment, but we've been througha lot together and he's learn-ing from me at the same timeI'm learning from him. As far
as the asphalt goes, we'relearning together. Perrotteand Curley have been instru-mental in helping JerryRichards to make the transi-tion to pavement racing.
Having the advice of theother nearby pavement pro-moters has been invaluable.Richards noted, “In workingtogether, we hope to maintainand even strengthen localshort track racing. It's a tough
business, seasonal and de-pendent on weather and youhave to have a certain amountof backbone to be in it year af-ter year. Having grown upwith it, it's in our blood andnone of us can really imaginedoing anything else, so this isa big gamble for us, but onewe feel will really pay off go-ing forward."
Devil's Bowl has been for-tunate to have important
partners sign on to supportlocal racing.
Coca-Cola Products hasbeen instrumental in helpingwith schedule distribution,and will provide all bever-ages this year at the speed-way. The Tri-Track SeriesModified Race was presentedby Chittenden Bank. LaVal-ley's Building Supply heldsits Employee's Night at theRaces, and Ace Carting Corp.of Fort Ann sponsored the tra-ditional Fourth of July show,in addition to bringing tworace teams all season.

Groundcovers are valuableplants in any landscape. Blue-grass lawns are populargroundcovers in full-sun siteswhere foot traffic is heavy, butother groundcovers are ap-propriate for many places.These include slopes whereerosion control is important,shaded areas where manygrasses do not perform well,and sites where more visualinterest is desirable.
These six shrubby ground-covers are native to northernNew England. They are supe-rior landscape plants, hardy,and are widely available atnurseries and garden centers.
Bearberry (Arctostaphylosuva-ursi) is one of the mostbeautiful and durablegroundcovers available. It isjust a few inches tall, but withtime expands to as much as 15feet across. Its glossy greenleaves form a dense mat. Inspring it produces daintywhite/pink bell-shaped flow-ers. In fall and winter it is dec-orated with bright red fruitsand reddish leaves.
Bunchberry (Cornuscanadensis) requires moist,acid soil and does well in sunor partial shade. This six-inchplant expands rather slowlyinto a broad groundcover. Itsshiny dark green leaves turnwine-red in fall. The whitebracts around the tiny flowersare very showy in spring, andthe clusters of scarlet fruits inAugust persist into winterand are eaten by many birds.
Checkerberry (Gaultheriaprocumbens) is also calledCreeping wintergreen, a
name that refers to the fra-grance released when leavesare crushed. Checkerberryforms a six-inch creepinggroundcover, valued for itsshiny, evergreen leaves. Itdoes best in moist, acid, or-ganic soil.
Creeping juniper (Juniperushorizontalis) is perhaps themost popular groundcoverjuniper in the United States.Plants reach one to two feet inheight and spread four toeight feet across, althoughmany selected cultivars (cul-tivated varieties) vary signif-icantly from that size. Creep-ing junipers do best in full sunand tolerate heat and droughtwell once established. At leasttwo cultivars originated inMaine: 'Bar Harbor' wasfound in rock crevices on Mt.Desert Island. 'Blue Rug' was
introduced to the industry in1914 after it was discoveredon Vinalhaven Island off thecoast of Maine.
Partridgeberry (Mitchellarepens) is a very hardy, two-inch groundcover that issometimes called Twinberry.Its dark green leaves oftenhave whitish veins. The pink-ish flowers are very fragrantin early summer, and the redfruits add color to the plant-ing in fall and winter. Thisplant requires moist, acid soiland shade. Partridgeberry isnot an aggressive groundcov-er for large areas, but it is a de-lightful shade garden plantfor the avid gardener.
Lowbush blueberry (Vac-cinium angustifolium) isprized for its tasty fruits ofAugust, but it has many oth-er attributes that make it use-
ful as a groundcover. It toler-ates dry, sandy soils althoughmoisture is important forgood fruit size. It is truly aplant for all seasons. Inspring, its new foliage is oftenbronze. In early summer itproduces white or pink flow-ers.
By midsummer, the denselowbush blueberry foliage isbeautiful, and in late summerthe blue fruits provide foodfor people, birds, and manyother animals. In late fall thefoliage forms a mosaic of red,wine, purple, and orange. Inwinter, the reddish stem colorcontrasts with the snow. Re-lated to this plant is themountain cranberry or lin-gonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea).

Members of the MonktonVolunteer Fire Departmentheld their Fifth AnnualGrass Drag fundraisingevent recently. The eventhelps support firefightingand emergency equipmentneeds that the departmentbudget is unable to cover.This year, thanks to sug-gestions from local resi-dents, firefighters added a“mud bog” for ATVs andtrucks.
MVFD members thankedseveral businesses and in-dividuals, including theMonkton Women’s Auxil-iary, for their support anddonations.
Also cited for their sup-port of the MVFD wereChief David Layn, Assis-tant Chiefs Curtis Layn andKevin Alexander, Capt.George Roy, Capt. RickGomez, retired Capt. PaulMeader, retired Capt. BillVan Steamberg, Lt. TracyClark, Lt. Bob Howard,Buck Bennett, Dan Bennett,Darrel Duffy, Mike New,and Rick Wolak.
MVFD event raises needed funds
MVFD added a mud bog to this year’s Monkton Grass Drag event.
Public Service Department Commissioner David O'Brientold an audience at the 90th Annual Meeting of AssociatedIndustries of Vermont in Montpelier last week that VermontYankee is safe to operate, that Vermont manufacturers needlow-cost power to effectively compete with overseas com-petition, and closing Vermont's only nuclear power plantwould cause extensive transmission problems in the NewEngland region.
O'Brien's comments echoed the concerns voiced by a pan-el of leading manufacturing and technology companies ear-lier in the event who, in discussing Vermont's key econom-ic strengths and weaknesses, cited energy costs, along withtax burdens and other key issues, as a top concern in keep-ing Vermont manufacturing competitive nationally andglobally. If determined to be safe and reliable by appropri-ate federal and state regulators, Vermont Yankee could rep-resent one of the largest sources of affordable electricityavailable to the state in the years ahead.
AIV has advocated allowing the Public Service Board todetermine whether or not to approve relicensing VermontYankee in the best interest of Vermonters, rather than hav-ing the decision tied up in the politics of the Legislature.
"Vermont Yankee is safe, the Nuclear Regulatory Com-mission says so," O'Brien told the crowd of 150 manufactur-ers and other business leaders, as well as leading state offi-cials and candidates.
"The plant scores highly in industry peer review, and itsproblems, although well publicized, do not pose health con-cerns," said O'Brien.
O'Brien further noted that "making rate payers pay 30cents per kilowatt for their electricity is not the solution," areference to the state's feed-in tariff that requires the state'sutilities to buy electricity from solar generators at prices wellabove market. Vermont's energy future is not "either/or" nu-clear or renewables, it's both, he said: "You take VermontYankee off line, the jobs will go away, and the carbon will goup. We have an advantage [over other northeastern states incarbon and cost], but only if we hold on to it." He observedthat a truly diverse and environmentally sound energy port-folio includes renewables supported by base load nuclearand hydro. "That has been the essence of our energy policyover the past seven years".
Also, O'Brien recommended as a long term solution to car-bon emissions that the United States needs to not just retainthe viable nuclear units we have today but seriously pursuenew nuclear generating units. He offered that non-carbonsources such as VY and of course hydro is the true means tobecome independent from foreign oil. Spent nuclear fuel isa concern with the failure of the federal government to hon-or their commitments on long term storage or to advance re-processing of the waste is a scandal, "but at least you knowwhere byproduct of generation is and you can manage it.With fossil fuels, you don't," noting that spent fossil fuel tox-ic pollutants end up in the atmosphere and have other harm-ful effects.
The cost and reliability of electricity is one of the most im-portant issues for manufacturers and other energy-intensivebusinesses.

RUTLAND—This year ’sRutland Halloween Pararde,scheduled for Oct. 30, 6:30p.m., oowes its internationalpopularity to a few very su-perhuman superheroes.
In the early 1970s, thepopular Rutland HalloweenParade was used as the set-ting of a number of super-hero comic books, includingBatman (issue 237), JusticeLeague of America (issue103), Freedom Fighters (is-sue 6), Amazing Adventures(issue 16), Avengers (issue83), and The Mighty Thor(issue 207).
The Rutland HalloweenParade remains an annualevent held on Halloweensince it started in 1960. TomFagan, a local writer andcomic book fan, is creditedwith having a hand in theparade's early developmentand superhero theme.
According to an Oct. 22,2006, article by Boston Globewriter Peggy Shinn, “He wasfriends with many comicbook authors and artists,most of whom hailed fromNew York. Fagan persuadedsome of them to take part inthe Rutland Halloween Pa-rade in comic book charactercostumes.
In 1965, a local newspaperreported that the Joker, Plas-tic Man, and Dr. Strangewere roaming the streets ofRutland, along with Batman(presumably Fagan, but likeBruce Wayne, the CapedCrusader wouldn't divulgehis identity). More comic
book heroes appeared (at theparade) every year...”
Comic book creatorsknown to have attended theparade in the past includeSteve Englehart, Gerry Con-way, Marv Wolfman, BernieWrightson, Dennis O'Neil,Roy Thomas, Alan Weiss,and Len Wein.
Though Fagan is no longerdirectly involved in theplanning of the parade, thepopular event continues tothis day, celebrating its 48thanniversary in 2007. Faganattended the 2006 parade,sitting with the judges alongwith his personal assistant.

and apparitions appearing throughout the building. Sever-al employees have also reported hearing a little girl scream-ing at various times of the day.
For this investigation, the team set-up five infrared cam-era’s throughout the house.
Three I.R. cameras were placed on the second floor wherethere have been reports of apparitions appearing and alsoof a little girl screaming.
Another camera was set-up in a room known as the par-lor. The parlor room was frequently used for funerals andmany tourists and employees of the Shelburne Museumhave reported apparitions appearing in this room.
The final camera was set-up in a large kitchen area. In thisroom, an employee reported the apparition of a young mandressed in colonial outfit appearing behind him. The teamis still in the process of reviewing video.
At all investigations, according to GMPS, the group seeksto explain the unexplained through strict research methodsand an object (and often skeptical) approach to paranormalinvestigation. They use several gadgets to help provide an-swers to suspected hauntings and experiences outside of thenorm.
For this investigation, the team used an electromagneticfield detector (EMF detector), a K2 meter that also assists indetecting magnetic fields, and digital voice recorders.Many team members also carried around a digital camerain hopes of catching a picture of one of the apparitions.
The Dutton House investigation remained quiet. No ap-paritions were seen, the only door that opened unexpected-ly was the front door but was explained away by the high-speed winds blowing it open. Two investigators believedthey heard the voice of the little girl, but were able to provethe noise was not out of the ordinary.
While in the attic, they physically heard what soundedlike a little girl laughing. The two members perceived thesound was coming from outside the building; after taking apeak out the window, the sound disappeared. Once the in-vestigation was finished, they reviewed their voicerecorders to see if they caught the sound on tape. They did.
After listening to the recording a few times and then con-ducting research online, they came to the conclusion that thesound was actually that of coy-dogs and not of the para-normal. Coy-dogs are a bread of coyote with a distinctlaugh. Packs of coy-dogs have been seen around the greaterBurlington area. The night guard from the museum con-firmed that though coyotes on the Shelburne Museumgrounds are rare, they have been seen.
GMPS officials said they will continue to review evidencefrom the investigation. If something paranormal is found,the group will release the evidence to the local news media.

voters must give economic issues their full attention insidethe voting booth.
“Ninety-six percent of the employers in Vermont are smallbusiness owners, and they are among the most heavily taxedand over-regulated business owners in the country,” saidShouldice.
“Our local businesses are competing regionally, national-ly and globally, and they can’t afford policies that make Ver-mont one of the least competitive places in the country anylonger. The numbers make it easy to understand why oureconomy has been stagnant. There’s no question that exces-sive state taxes and regulations are a drag on the economyand that they are costing us jobs, opportunities and rev-enue,” Shouldice noted.
Shouldice also said Vermonters should use the newForbes magazine data to seriously question candidatesseeking state office with ideas of spending more money thestate doesn’t have.
“Incumbents should be held accountable for their recordon economic issues, and every challenger should be askedabout their plans for making Vermont more competitive,”said Shouldice. “Our leaders in Montpelier have been ex-tremely self-indulgent over the years, buying votes with un-necessary new programs and higher taxes on small busi-nesses. We are suffocating under the weight of too muchgovernment and in this election people have a chance to dosomething about it.”
Can Vermont's legislators learn a thing or two fromForbes’ first-place Utah? According to Utah Gov. Gary Her-bert, a Republican, “Utah has a fiscally conservative gov-ernment where we are trying to keep government off yourbacks and out of your wallet. We want the free market dowhat it does best.”
The $64,000 question remains: will Vermont’s tax-and-spend legislature wise up before it’s too late?

After a decade,birds fail at offspring
The circle of life may be atwork at Vermont’s Lake Ar-rowhead, where ospreysfailed during the summer justended to produce fledglingsfor the first time in more thana decade, most likely due to afisher or other predator.
Despite a record-setting sixnests at Lake Arrowhead, os-preys failed to produce anyfledglings at the manmadelake for the first time since1998.
Five pairs of ospreys weresitting on eggs during thespring, but a nest was aban-doned after a few weeks. Asixth nest appeared a shorttime later, presumably builtby the pair that abandonedtheir initial nest, but none ofthe birds had been successful.
A lone egg, covered in de-bris, remained in the aban-doned nest weeks after theospreys moved on. The nestwas close to the lake’s boat
access and a train trestle thatskirts the eastern end of thelake.
“My guess is that thesewere young birds buildingtheir first nest, so this is alearning process,” VermontFish and Wildlife biologistJohn Gobeille said. “I don'tknow why they chose thissite, because there are plentyof better nest sites nearby. Itis probably due to the birds’preference to nest over wa-ter.”
Many of the other nest fail-ures were at locations thathave previously producedchicks that grew into fledg-lings.
“Given that virtually all ofthe other nests in the regionwere successful, I think apredator is probably is toblame for most of the failuresat Lake Arrowhead,” Gob-eille said. “A fisher or a greathorned owl may have foundthis to be a perfect place tohunt this summer.”
Lake Arrowhead becamefamous for its ospreys thanksto Meeri Zetterstrom, awildlife advocate who con-vinced the state and CentralVermont Public Service to putup nesting platforms for thebirds in the late 1980s. After a
decade of work to providesuitable sites and educateVermonters about the birds,the first chick hatched andfledged in 1998. At least onceosprey chick has been suc-cessfully fledged at the lakeevery year since, until thisyear.
CVPS spokesman SteveCostello, who worked withZetterstrom, Gobeille andother state officials over theyears, said the failed nestsprovided a reminder of howthe natural world is filledwith interdependancies.
Gobeille and Costello planto add a new platform at LakeArrowhead this fall, and willlook at ways to install newpredator shields on existingnest platforms in case a fish-er is responsible for the fail-ures.
“Given their rebound fromnear extinction, we do wantto provide the ospreys an op-portunity to thrive at thelake,” Costello said.
“It was a disappointingseason, but if predation wasthe cause of most of the fail-ures, as it appears to be, it’simprtant to remember thatevery species has got to eat –even species that see ospreysas a meal ticket.”

America, held each year to promote the importance of fam-ily farming, as well as raise awareness about the economic,environmental and health challenges that our nation faces,which family farmers can help us address.
At this summer ’s concert, Horizon Organic announcedthe recipients of the HOPE Award. And while the Hescockswere mentioned—and were thrilled with the recognition,according to Horizon Organic officials—the award went toanother farming couple, also from the northeastern U.S.
Nudging out the Hescocks were Harvey and Connie Frasi-er of Mohawk, N.Y.; they received the top award for theirsustainable farming methods.
“The HOPE Award means a lot to our family, as we takegreat pride in our work and are grateful to be in a businessthat’s supportive to both the people and the planet,” saidfarmer Connie Frasier. “We hope this award will help us fur-ther spread the word about organic farming and continue tohelp those interested in learning more about switching toorganic farming practices.”
According to Lauren Cameron, an Horizon Organicspokeswoman, the Frasiers are fourth-generation farmers.They made the final move to organic farming around thesame time as the Hescocks in Vermont.
“At the time, they were only the second organic farm inNew York’s Herkimer County,” Cameron said. ”They quick-ly discovered additional lifestyle benefits, both for theirfamily and their cows.”
“Thanks to organic farming practices, we noticed that ourcows were healthier and our family was healthier due to re-duced stress,” Connie Frasier noted.
Cameron said that “The couple has since helped manyother local farmers, two of whom are Harvey’s grown chil-dren, Harvey Jr. and Bryce Frasier, transition from conven-tional to organic farming. They regularly receive phone callsfrom farmers who are transitioning and never hesitate to of-fer support, including guiding them through the organiccertification paperwork. They also host regular tours oftheir farm,which features an environmentally-friendly, low-electricity barn, for local farmers and school elementaryschool children to help educate them about the benefits oforganic dairy farming. “
For Vermont’s many unsung dairy farming heroes, it’snice to see one of their own receive kudos on the nationalstage. It also demonstrates that, despite the many hard luckstories relating to today’s ultra-competitive global agrieconomy, there remain many brilliant points-of-light righthere in our local, hardworking farming community.

The Middlebury Union High Tiger football team took an-other step towards an unbeaten season throttling visitingColchester High 39-6 last Friday night. The Mount AbrahamUnion High Eagles, however, lost a tough one the same nightfalling 21-13 to host Montpelier High.
In 2009 Middlebury lost in the season opener at ColchesterHigh and then fell to the Lakers in the opening round of theDivision II Playoffs. On Friday night the 12 seniors on thisTiger squad made sure they got a measure of revenge for be-ing swept by the Lakers. Middlebury built a 12-0 lead in thefirst half and then blew the game wide open erupting for 27points in the first five minutes of the third quarter in rollingto the victory.
Junior defensive back Dillon Robinson set-up the firstTiger score picking off Laker quarterback Jake Leclerc's passat the Colchester 40 and returning it to the one-yard line.Two plays later senior running back Bryan Ashley-Selleckburst through the left side of the line and Middlebury had a6-0 lead.
Brendan Burrell's five-yard scoring scamper in the secondquarter pushed the lead to 12-0. The Lakers would then
move deep into Tiger territory late in the quarter, but sawtheir drive die on the Middlebury two when Leclerc overthrew a receiver in the end zone on fourth down.
Just about everything that could go wrong for Colchesterdid at the start of the third quarter. Ashley-Selleck cappedoff a Tiger drive with a 24-yard touchdown run. Burrell gotthe Tigers on the scoreboard again just a couple minutes lat-er with a 13-yard scoring jaunt. Marshall Hastings then re-turned a pass interception 31-yards for a score and on theLakers next possession a high snap on a punt sailed into theend zone where Middlebury's Alex Bowdish fell on the looseball for the touchdown in pushing the lead to 39-0.
The (3-4) Lakers avoided the shut-out getting a touch-down from Alex Kozlowski late in the fourth quarter. Withthe win Middlebury improved to 8-0. The Tigers will look tofinish the regular season undefeated and head into the Di-vision II playoffs with the top seed when they play at OtterValley this coming Saturday at 1 p.m. The Otters will go intothe game coming off a 41-14 loss to Burr & Burton.
MAUHSAfter a big win at MSJ in late September, the Mount Abra-
ham Union High Eagles have seen their season slip into astring of lopsided losses. But on Friday night the Eagleshung tough with the host Montpelier High Solons before see-ing it slip away.
The Solons used touchdown runs of 22 and 32 yards fromCollin O'Mara and Kyle Pembroke to jump on Mount Abra-ham early. The Eagles Geoff Grant's one-yard touchdownplunge midway in the second quarter trimmed the Solonlead to 14-6 before Pembroke closed the scoring in the firsthalf hauling in an 8-yard touchdown pass.
Ian Shaw's 45-yard touchdown bomb to Ethan Heffernanin the third quarter got the Eagles back to within eight onthe Solons. But the Eagles would get no closer as they fell to1-7 on the season. The Eagles wrap-up their season hostingPoultney High this Saturday at 1 p.m.
