surance rates low and pro-vide the best fire protectionfor residential, commercialand institutional properties.

The town and collegeagree that the purpose of theventure is to develop theparcels not for the biggestreturn, but rather for thebest value and return for thecommunity given the highvisibility of the properties inthe center of downtownMiddlebury. Long term via-bility and sustainability ofany effort in this location isvital to the downtown.

The board also listened tolocal business, town and col-lege representatives aboutan update on the work of theeconomic and business de-velopment initiative's work-ing group and financing ofthe effort.

•Up to $15,000 to matchtown funds and state grantfunds to convert historicstreetlights in the down-town from metal halide toLED fixtures. The state grantfunds are contingent upon asuccessful application forfunding in a very competi-tive program.

Select Board discusses town, college property deals

By Lou [email protected]

MIDDLEBURY—Tropical Storm Irene wreaked havoc onVermont on Aug. 28, 2011. Buildings, roadways, and naturalresources were damaged or destroyed in the wake of thestorm’s brief hours of violence. Most tragic was the loss offour human lives.

While not the least bit precious when compared to the lossof a human life, Irene still produced its share of material loss-es, from houses and highways to private tractors and even aprivate airplane. So add one more thing to the matériel ca-sualty of the Aug. 28 flooding—a classic, and highly col-lectible, 1930 Ford Model-A Huckster pickup truck.

The truck, lovingly stored in a residential garage by anunidentified man in Bridgewater, Vt., was covered in filthyflood water where it soaked into the upholstery, engine andwood paneling. The truck sat in high water, to a level justabove the windshield, for many hours.

The Model A’s owner lost his home in the flash flooding.One of the few possessions to emerge was his venerable pick-up—but it was a total loss.

In need of funds to rebuild his house and family’s life, theowner accepted an insurance payment of $14,000 for theModel A. But, knowing it was a mess, the insurance compa-ny let the owner keep the vehicle if ever wanted to work onit. However, requiring immediate cash to make payments,the owner sold—some might even say gave away—the wa-terlogged truck to his Rutland-based insurance agent for$600.

Enter car guy Damon Pelkey of Brandon. Pelkey has tin-kered around classic cars most of his adult life. As owner ofDT Speedi Lube in Middlebury, Pelkey often graces hisgarage’s front lot with antique vehicles he’s working on.

“It so happens the Model A’s insurance agent is also myagent,” Pelkey said. “He knew I like to work on old vehicles.He asked me if I could get the truck running again.”

The new owner had a flatbed truck deliver the Model A toPelkey’s Middlebury garage. Between changing oil and tiresfor customers, Pelkey and his assistant worked on the De-pression-era truck.

If miracles still happen in small ways, then Pelkey is a mir-acle worker. For in just a few weeks of hard work, the me-chanic drained all of the Ford’s fluids—including brackishfloodwater—cleaned the carburetor and tinkered aroundwith the electrics to get the pickup in running order.

Drying out the engine took days, but as of last week,Pelkey got the pickup started and it’s running again. Rightnow, he’s taking care of a few little engine details before heturns the keys back to the owner.

In the meantime, Pelkey has other classic car projects tokeep his attention in the new year. First, he is going to helphis brother Herb Pelkey restore a 1958 Edsel station wagonthey found for sale in Springfield, Vt. Following the Edselproject, Pelkey will assist his father, Richard Pelkey of Chit-tenden, to restart a 1947 Ford sedan that has sat silent fordecades.

“You have to finesse old cars, like this flood-damagedModel A, to get them running again,” Pelkey said. “I like theclassic cars. In fact, I own several myself—a ‘47 Ford pick-up, a ‘39 Ford sedan, and a ‘66 Chevy flatbed truck. I workon them, and I like to drive them.”

MIDDLEBURY—The Con-gregational Church of Mid-dlebury, 2 Main St., will hosta Life Line Screening sessionon Jan. 17.

Four key points every per-son needs to know:

Stroke is the third leadingcause of death and a leadingcause of permanent disabili-ty 80 percent of stroke vic-tims had no apparent warn-ing signs prior to their stroke.

Preventive ultrasoundscreenings can help youavoid a stroke.

Screenings are fast, nonin-vasive, painless, affordableand convenient.

Screenings identify poten-tial cardiovascular condi-tions such as blocked arteriesand irregular heart rhythm,abdominal aortic aneurysms,and hardening of the arteriesin the legs, which is a strongpredictor of heart disease. Abone-density screening to as-sess osteoporosis risk is alsooffered and is appropriate forboth men and women.

All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete.

Volunteering in our local com-munity has its up and down-sides.

But for those of you who spend longhours working as unpaid service volun-teers—firefighters, EMTs, Civil Air Pa-trol search-and-rescue crews, shelterworkers, Scouting and 4H leaders,school aides, after-school tutors, youthcoaches, mission cooks, animal andwildlife stewards, spiritual caregivers,Big Brothers and Big Sisters, church-and fraternal-group leaders, elderly care-givers, Meals on Wheels and DAV vandrivers—you understand that such self-less time spent away from family andfriends can never be recaptured. But inmerely scratching the surface of themany kinds of volunteers around us, wecan better appreciate the vast reservoirof self sacrifice that drives so many Ver-monters to community service—and it’sall done without the expectation of anykind of compensation. The work is re-ward enough.

Even in our so-called Era of Greed,there are far too many good-naturedAmericans for us to ever loose sleep overa few, high-profile bad boys and girls.

For all the greedy, financial whiz kidswe read about in the newspaper, such asthe likes of Bernard Madoff and JonCorzine, the scales of what’s good aboutAmerica tip favorably in the opposite di-

rection with selfless volunteers such asBenson, Vt., resident Kathy Kidder, avolunteer Civil Air Patrol member whohelped save the life of a young boy lastyear, and Middlebury, Vt., resident Jessi-ca Appelson, who helped lead a volun-teer Midd Hurricane Relief team of stu-dents to clean up after Tropical StormIrene.

These two women are but the tip of aniceberg of volunteer adult men, women,teens and youth in our circulation areawho go about their business quietly yetleave lasting footprints.

During the late 1950s, AlbertSchweitzer, perhaps the 20th century’sgreatest, selfless servant, said this aboutthe call of volunteer service: “I don'tknow what your destiny will be, but onething I know: the only ones among youwho will be really happy are those whohave sought and found how to serve.”

So when friends and neighbors sacri-fice precious family and personal time inorder to plow it back into the communi-ty, they deserve our sincere thanks andpraise.

Community service, as Schweitzer andothers have lived it, is not an easy call-ing. Regardless of whether you are a cur-rent volunteer or have done volun-teerism in the past, thank you for yourservice. We salute you.

Lou Varricchio

Here’s to all the volunteersFrom the Editor

“Heave the tea overboard!” Suchmight have been the cry over 200years ago when Sam Adams (the

patriot, not the beer) joined fellow colo-nialists to protest the English Stamp Act.Adams and his compatriots threw boxes oftea into Boston Harbor as an act of civildisobedience. Immortalized as a founda-tion block of

American democracy, the Boston TeaParty of Dec. 16, 1773 was not only aprotest against what Adams and othersthought was an unjust law, the protest wasthe intentional breaking of a law that isseen as unjust.

Move the clock ahead 238 years to Dec.5, 2011 to the Lowell Mountains where asmall group of local citizens took a standof civil disobedience against what theyconsider to be an unjust application of thelaw. In parallel with the protesters inBoston over two centuries ago, who didnot believe they should be taxed by theking, the modern-day protesters object tothe Lowell Wind Project under construc-tion on the ridge line and authorized bythe state’s Public Service Board. The windprotesters do not believe the PSB make asound decision, and they also dispute theownership of the land where a road leadsup the mountain to the construction site.

Thus, a group of six people stood in theroadway with signs reading, “Road Closed:Due To Environmental Destruction” and“Detour To Honest Energy Policy.” Theirintent was to be arrested as a way to ad-vance their cause.

They were charged with unlawful tres-pass and arrested, with Dec. 20 set as acourt date.

A seventh person was also arrested:Chris Braithwaite, the publisher of a week-ly newspaper in Barton that covers OrleansCounty.

Braithwaite was on site to report on theprotest as part of the ongoing coverage ofthe wind project he has reported consis-tently for his newspaper.

He identified himself as a working jour-nalist to law enforcement officers but wasarrested after he stated he was there tocover the event, needed to be in proximity

to the police and the protesters and wouldleave after the arrests were made.

Green Mountain Power spokespersonDorothy Schnure said the arrests for tres-passing were necessary because of safetyissues. Apparently, safety of the U.S. Con-stitution and the public’s right to know thetruth were not an issue.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Consti-tution states, “Congress shall make nolaw... abridging the freedom of speech, orof the press, or the right of the people topeaceably assemble...”

Yes, Green Mountain Power has the rightto protect its property and to prohibit ac-cess to that property. And, no, journalistsdo not have any special rights not availableto other citizens.

Citizens do have a right, however, toknow what is done in their name. HadBraithwaite not been at the protest site, thepress would not have been able to reporton the behavior of protesters or the tax-paid police enforcing a public trespass no-tice, sanctioned by the state courts and en-acted by the state Legislature. If a publicact of civil disobedience cannot be seen bythe public and the behavior of the partiesinvolved cannot be seen, the public is de-nied knowing the truth.

Civil disobedience has a long history inthis country, stretching from the time ofSam Adams, though the Civil Rights Move-ment in the 1960s to the current protest onthe Lowell Mountains. Had the press beenprevented from covering the acts of civildisobedience in American history, wecould still be living under English rule,women and people of color might still bedenied the right to vote, people who laborcould still be working unregulated, 18-hour days in unsafe conditions, public ac-commodations might still be segregated --the list goes on. Green Mountain Power,law enforcement officers, the courts andthe Vermont Legislature undermine democ-racy when they sanction the arrest of jour-nalists for doing their job.

The health and safety of Americandemocracy require that the press be al-lowed to report the news.

MIDDLEBURY—Middlebury’sTown Hall Theater deserves a lot ofkudos from the community. Thisdowntown stage showcase has donelots to revitalize Middlebury’s per-forming arts community, from livedramatic performances, comedy, song,even HD television opera broad-casts—and the list is growing.

Sure we expect the management of adowntown theater to be on the cuttingedge, but THT’s newest stage perform-ance idea is the cleverest, most posi-tive concept we’ve come across yet—showcasing the performance skills oflocal teens.

And that’s why the THT’s Friday,Jan. 6, concert featuring Loose Changewill mean a lot to the community; it isproviding a healthy, productive venuefor local young people to showcasetheir performing and musical skills.It’s the first time high school-age stu-dents are being invited to become partof a serious downtown arts venue.This writer thinks it’s a terrific ideaand THT deserves a big high five.

Loose Change consists of Middle-bury Union High School studentsDaniel Mench-Thurlow and EbenSchumacher. THT publicity says theyoung men became close friends whenthey discovered their shared passionfor 1960s- and ‘70s-era rock music.

The 16-year-old musicians deep ap-preciation for Boomer-generation popand rock music grows out of an innerappreciate for music heritage and the

great ones who paved the way. When you see the pair playing songs

penned by the Allman Brothers Band,Jim Morrison and the Doors, Led Zep-pelin, Mic Jagger and the RollingStones, Eric Clapton, among other per-formers of that time, you’ll know it’snot a flashback but the real thing.

Mench-Thurlow and Schumachershared their love of the music by firstexchanging stories, then licks on theirguitars. Later, when they realized theyhad something very cool in the offing,they got down to practicing and con-ceptualizing their two-man band,Loose Change.

In addition to replaying and reinter-preting the music of that vanished eraof Woodstock and Kent State, the teensare also accomplished songwriterswith several original songs in theirgrowing songbook.

MIDDLEBURY —Bicyclists will be considered by theTown of Middlebury when it begins the South Street recon-struction project in 2012.

Town select board members Dean George and Dan Wern-er joined engineer Alan Huizenga to meet with local bikepromoter Andrew Gardner last week.

The trio met to address concerns about including bike-

friendly components in the South Strete plan. Huizenga will most likely design a single bike lane—or

possibly multiple lanes—to the new South Street. However,it is unknown how much the idea would add to the projectbudget at this time.

George reported that underground water, sewer anddrainage lines, utility poles, as well as mature trees, side-walks, driveways and width of the road bed, must be fac-torered into any bike-lane concept.

SUPER SINGERS—Neshobe Elementary School fifth and sixth graders, members of the Neshobe Select Singers, performed during the an-nual Winter Concert Dec. 19. The talented children sang various holiday songs. They were directed by music teacher Julia R. Varian.

it any more,” said McKibben in an e-mail interview. “Not from dictators,not from investment bankers, not fromfossil fuel companies.”

McKibben was a driving force be-hind the late summer Washingtonprotests, and among the first arrested.

The civil disobedience demonstra-tion was aimed at stopping construc-tion of the Keystone XL Pipeline in thecentral U.S. that would move Canadi-an tar sand oil to refineries in Texas, a1,384-mile run that endangers sensi-tive ecological areas and will vastly ex-pand greenhouse gas emissions, saidMcKibben.

“What I think is so interesting is how

conservative, in a sense, many of theseprotests are, ours included,” said McK-ibben.

The 51-year-old professor said manyof the participants in the effort wereolder than him and clothed profession-ally, with ties and dresses.

“It reminded me a lot of the wonder-ful organizing many of us did yearsago to block the proposed county land-fill at the base of Crane Mountain,” hesaid, recalling Johnsburg Supervisor-Elect Ron Vanselow’s role in thatprotest.

“We just want a world somethinglike the one we were born to,” saidMcKibben.

It’s been a bit of a tiring year, saidMcKibben, but the moral urgency ofclimate protest is great enough thatlosing time he’d have to ski, write, hike

and teach is worth the sacrifice. Fortheir protest efforts, President BarackObama has delayed the final decisionon allowing the pipeline to be built. Be-cause it’s an international project, thepipeline needs federal approval.

“No environmental victories are per-manent,” said McKibben. “This is atemporary delay. But maybe we canbuy enough time that the world will fi-nally start getting serious about cli-mate change.”

McKibben said he and his 350.orgclimate-change activism group willhighlight people and places impactedby climate change, including in theAdirondacks. They also want to bringmore attention to the governmentssubsidies paid out to fossil fuel compa-nies, some of the world’s richest corpo-rations.

collected more than $3.8 million in charitable contribu-tions and has been an active partner in post-Irene reliefand recovery efforts, working closely with donors andother organizations to create and manage a number ofIrene-related charitable funds.

“We felt that this holiday season was an appropriatetime to stop and reflect on what these contributions havemade possible and to express our gratitude to the manywho stepped forward to help,” said Vermont Communi-ty Foundation President & CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay.“Our hope is that this short video reaches every last per-son who has given – and who continues to give – in oneway or another.”

MIDDLEBURY—Two entities of the Vermont Communi-ty Foundation, the Vermont Arts Endowment Fund, andthe Concert Artists Fund announced that they have joinedforces to award a total of $85,000 to 26 organizationsthroughout Vermont.

Established in 1986 and based in Middlebury, the Com-munity Foundation strives to grow philanthropy through-out Vermont and help make sure nonprofits have the re-sources to be effective. The foundation works with individ-uals, families and advisors throughout the state. The Boardof Directors is made up of various artists, community lead-ers and CEOs.

One such non profit is the Concert Artists Fund; it wasadded to the Arts Endowment Fund grant round in 1995and is funded through the Estate of Charles Goetz to sup-port performances of classical music throughout the state.

A total of $46,500 was recently awarded to support fu-ture performances of classical music including the Burling-ton Chamber Orchestra and Choral Society, the LakeChamplain Chamber Music Festival, the Vermont Contem-porary Music Festival in Fairfax, the Vermont Youth Or-chestra, the Green Mountain Music Festival in Burlingtonand the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts.

Established in 1990, the Vermont Arts Endowment Fundwas established through an anonymous Vermont resident,with a matching grant from the National Endowment forthe Arts. The fund was created for the purpose of support-ing small, emerging arts groups and artists throughout the

state. The foundation recently awarded $38,528 to support the

creation and production of new work by various artists andarts organizations. Some of the recipients include Montpe-lier ’s Focus on Films, Vermont Cultural Data, Middleburyartist Kate Gridley, Brattleboro artist Stephen Procter,Burlington artist David Cooper and the Vermont StudioCenter in Johnson, just to name a few.

The Vermont Community Foundation also recently an-nounced that its Special and Urgent Needs—Irene Recov-ery Fund awarded a total of $185,000 to 40 Vermont non-profit organizations which were impacted by the tropicalstorm. As of December 15, total contributions pledged tothe fund were in excess of $369,000.

“Many thanks go out for the generous outpouring ofsupport for the fund, so we are able to grant more moneyto help those programs most in need, including both or-ganizations, families and individuals,” Stuart Comstock-Gay said in a recent interview. Comstock-Gay is the pres-ident and CEO of the Vermont Community Foundation.

The foundation continues to accept applications fromnonprofits, schools, municipal entities and relief pro-grams. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis andgrant decisions awarding up to $5,000 are usually madewithin 14 business days of the application being submit-ted.

To apply for a grant, make a contribution or learn moreabout their many programs, visit the foundation's website(www.vermontcf.org) which was established to provideupdated information including grants available andawarded.

Compared to a year ago, the rate is low-er by five-tenths of a percentage point.The current comparable national rate is8.6 percent which reflects a decrease offour-tenths of a percent from the previousmonth.

Over the past three months, Vermont’sseasonally adjusted statewide unemploy-ment rate has declined by six-tenths of apercent.

“This is obviously good news for Ver-mont as one measure of our economichealth. This is the third consecutivemonth reporting a decline in the unem-ployment rate,” said Labor Commission-er Annie Noonan.
