BRIDPORT — Vermont 4-H Clubmembers turned out in force at the an-nual Vermont 4-H Dairy Judging Con-test held at the Blue Spruce Farm inBridport June 23.

Among the cows judged were hol-steins and the less common cattle breedknown as Ayrshire.

The Ayrshire originated from Ayr-shire in Scotland.

The average mature Ayrshire cowweighs between 990–1,300 poundsmaking it among the largest dairybreeds.

According to Lisa Halvorsen of theUniversity of Vermont, Ayrshires havedistinguished red markings. But themarkings can range from orange to adark-chocolate brown. Some individu-als have colored legs, others not.

Halvorsen noted that the breed is rec-ognized by dairy producers for its lowsomatic cell counts, its supreme abilityto digest grass and convert into milkwith excellent efficiently. The breed’s isalso climate hardy over many zones andideal for changing climates globally.

Ayrshires were lined up at the BlueSpruce Farm for judging during the 4-H event making it the largest gatheringof the breed, in one place at one time, inVermont.

MIDDLEBURY — For those Addison County residents who knew him or worked alongside him, Middlebury firefighter Adam Myers was a hard worker, caring friend, and fam-ily man.

Myers’ untimely death last year is still sending reverberations through the community.The dedicated firefighter—who believed deeply in community service—died in a car ac-cident July 20, 2011. He left behind a wife and two sons, and many friends he touchedin the area. Now, friends and businesses in the Middlebury area are helping keep Myers’memory and spirit of service alive through a special fundraising event on July 21.

Dubbed the Adam Myers Memorial Fundraiser, several local businesses have teamedup to raise money for the Middlebury Fire Department.

The upcoming effort promises to be the first of what is hoped to be an annual activity,which not only remembers the volunteer and community member, but also honors allthe men and women who serve in fighting fires and saving lives around Middlebury.

“Adam was in integral part of our technical rescue team,” according to Ryan Emilo, amember of the Middlebury Fire Department. “He was a huge champion of everythingwe do here at the department. His hard work, dedication and enthusiasm can never bereplaced and it will never be forgotten.”

For their first time supporting the memorial effort, a genuine recognition of loss, aswell as spirit of community, motivates the involvement of sponsors.

See FIREFIGHTER, page 10

Adam Myers, the Middlebury firefighter who died last year, will beremembered July 21 at two events in Middlebury. Proceeds gener-ated will be contributed to the Middlebury Fire Department.

SALISBURY — The seasonopener for the Vermont SunTriathlon series, the Ver-mont Sun Triathlon, saw thetop five men all crack a1:02:00 finish time for thefirst time since 1995.

Gered Dunne of WhiteRiver Junction passed GarySnow of Shelburne in the lasthalf mile of the run to winthe 600-yard swim, 14-milebike, 3.1-mile run race in59:36.

Snow was seconds behindDunne at 59:51.

Sixteen-year-old TeresaGroton of Charlestown,N,H., cruised to a more com-fortable win on the women’sside, in 1:10:07. Runner-up,

Dot Martin of Montpelier, atmore than three times Gro-ton’s age (52), finished in1:12:15.

Sunday’s weather condi-tions at beautiful BranburyState Park on Lake Dunmorecouldn’t have been betterwith light winds and low hu-midity, and temperatures inthe low to upper 70s. Thelake was calm for swim-ming. With very light auto-traffic, bikers and runnershad an easy time sharing theroad which was monitoredby sheriff officers.

Bret Nichols, 29, of Brook-line, Mass., missed breakingthe course record by one sec-ond last year when he won

in 59:07. On Sunday he hadto settle for third in 1:00:28.

Peter Dodds, 43, formerlyfrom Australia and now liv-ing in Burlington was fourthin 1:01:31, with Saxtons Riv-er ’s John Dunbar fifth in1:01:52. Nichols had thefastest swim of the day in6:36, while Dunne recordedthe best bike (33:16) and run(16:29) times.

in 1:12:15.The sprint distance

triathlon has been held over50 times with about tenthousand finishes.

The one-hour time barrierhas been broken just 11times. Race producer andfounder, Steve Hare did itonce in 1995.

He said breaking an hourtakes good conditions andclose competition among thetop five athletes.

Hare, 55, did not race Sun-day as he is still recoveringfrom being hit by a car rid-ing his bike on the triathloncourse in late March of thisyear. “I received a shatteredelbow and broken hip. After

three months and three sur-geries my swim and bike arepretty close to normal, but Istill can’t really run andthat’s why I’ll enjoy puttingon the races and probablynot compete till next year.”

David Payne is the newrace director after five sea-sons of being the assistantdirector. Many other Ver-mont Sun Fitness Centerstaffers work the event.

The best local finish wasturned in by Vergennes’Cory Coffey who won themen’s 35-39 age group whileplacing seventh overall in1:03:48.

“I’ve been racing here foryears and placed as high as

third. I had my best timeever today and it was onlygood for seventh. Theseguys upfront went reallyfast,” Coffey said.

Chas Lyons of Middleburywas eighth overall and sec-ond to Coffey in the 35-39group with a time of 1:06:34.Lyons used his bike and runspeed to overcome being41st after the swim. He plansto do the Lake Placid Iron-man this summer.

Jeff Schumann of Salis-bury won the 55-59 group in1:08:01 on the strength of hisseventh best swim (7:39),and twelfth best bike (36:00).

Sarah Hunter disappearedin Manchester By Lou Varricchionewmarketpress@denpubs.com

MANCHESTER — Vermont State Policedetectives announced that they have closedthe book on an unsolved murder mysterydating back to 1986. The victim, SarahHunter, 36, of Manchester, disappeared onthe evening of Sept. 19, 1986 and was neverseen since.

The stunning announcement was madeJuly 2 by VSP Lt. Tim Oliver, Vermont StatePolice, C Troop Bureau of Criminal Investi-gation commander.

Oliver said an arrest warrant was issuedJune 30 for David Allan Morrison, 52, formurder in the first degree of Hunter.

In 1986, Hunter ’s car was found empty,parked at a gas station on Route 7A in Man-chester Center.

“At the time of her disappearance Sarahwas employed as a golf pro at the Manches-ter Country Club,” Oliver reported in theVSP news announcement. “Due to the suspi-

cious circumstances, the Manchester PoliceDepartment and the Vermont State Police

immediately began an investigation intoSarah's disappearance. Despite an extensivesearch, Sarah’s body wasn’t located untilNov. 27, 1986, in a wooded area adjacent toa corn field in Pawlet.”

Within days of Hunter ’s disappearance,VSP detectives determined that Hunter wasthe likely victim of a homicide.

At the time if Hunter ’s disappearance,Morrison had been questioned twice; he hadbeen an employee at a gasoline station nearto where Hunter ’s abandoned vehicle wasfound. “There was insufficient evidence atthe time for arrest him for Sarah’s murder,”according to Oliver.

VSP officials said that Morrison left Ver-mont two years after Hunter ’s disappear-ance. In late 1986, the year of Hunter ’s mur-der, Morrison was arrested in California forkidnapping, sexual assault, and attemptedmurder of a young woman in the city of Chu-la Vista. Morrison remains in California tothis day, serving a 20 year to life sentence atthe Corcoran State Penitentiary.

“In the 25 years since her tragic death, de-tectives with the Vermont State Police con-tinued to investigate Sarah’s murder, look-ing for additional evidence and information;

including a 1988 search of Morrison’s aban-doned 1968 Chevy Impala,” according to aVSP news report. “Evidence gathered led in-vestigators to identify Morrison as a primarysuspect, however the evidence was insuffi-cient to arrest Morrison for Sarah’s murder.”

In touch with California authorities, Ver-mont State Police detectives had their suspi-cions about Morrison’s link to SarahHunter ’s death.

“Based on the DNA results and evidencecollected through the investigation, detec-tives applied for and were granted an arrestwarrant for David Allan Morrison for Mur-der in the First Degree in the 1986 death ofSarah Hunter,” according to a VSP news re-lease. “Extradition arrangements will be co-ordinated through the Bennington CountyState’s Attorney’s office with the State ofCalifornia.”

“In all cold case homicide investigations,it is important to help families who have suf-fered the tragic loss of a loved one, to be ableto help bring closure to their loss,” said Oliv-er. “Detectives with the Vermont State Policewill never rest in solving the terrible crimeof homicide, no matter how many years ittakes.”

LUDLOW — This August, visitorsto Camp Plymouth State Park in Lud-low are in for a treat. A display of un-usual “sun boxes” will sprout in var-ious areas of the park. The unusualboxes, which will combine art andscience, will appear at Camp Ply-mouth Aug 2-5.

Vermont sound artist CraigCalorusso is the man behind the sunboxes.

Calorusso was invited to bring hislatest musical creation to five stateparks for five weekends during thesummer months.

“It's comprised of twenty speakersspread over a large, open lawn oper-ating independently, each poweredby the sun via solar panels,” accord-ing to Rochelle Skinner, sales andservice manager of the Vermont De-partment of Forests, Parks & Recre-

ation. “Inside each sun box is a P.C.mother board that has a recorded mu-sical programmed to play continu-ously in a loop. Because the loops aredifferent in length, once the piece be-gins they continually overlap and thepiece slowly evolves over time.”

Skinner said the idea is to encour-age park visitors to walk around thesolar-powered speaker boxes.

“Certain speakers will be closerand, therefore, louder, so the piecewill sound different to different peo-ple in different positions throughoutthe array,” Skinner said. “Allowingthe audience to move around will cre-ate a unique experience for everyone.In addition, as people wanderthrough the speakers, they alter thecomposition. Given the option, twopeople will take different pathsthrough the array and hear the com-position differently. Sun boxes is notjust one composition, but, many.”

Sun boxes to sprout at Vermont state park

A test of Craig Calorusso’s sun boxes at Camp Plymouth in Ludlow last year. The boxes return Aug. 2-5.

Supreme Court decisionpostpones day of reckoning

Last week’s Supreme Court decision only postpones theday of reckoning for Gov. Peter Shumlin’s (D) “TitanicCare”health care law. Federal dollars can now temporarily plugthe huge holes the governor ’s plan will generate in Ver-mont’s budget.

Let’s be frank: TitanicCare is doomed to sink and take allof us with it. It’s just going to sink a teeny bit slower withthis subsidy and nobody, not even Gov. Shumlin, believesthe subsidy will last forever.

The federal government’s long term track record in keep-ing its funding promises is dismal indeed—look at Medicaidand Special Education, for example.

Vermonters better start asking the governor and his alliesin the legislature to explain before this upcoming electionhow they’re going to rescue us passengers.

Thankfully, all is not lost when TitanicCare sinks.

We Vermonters can start asking our political candidatesand the news media to look much more closely at much bet-ter options.

Why can’t we choose from lots of different policies offeredby many different insurance companies from other states?

A “single payer” one-size-fits-all is not a “choice”. Andwhy are we forced to purchase insurance policies with man-dated coverage for every service and product that healthcare lobbyists can wangle into our laws?

Why can’t we choose the coverage we think suits us in-stead of what government tells us we need?

Why can’t we be creative with high deductible plans andemployer-subsidized health savings accounts that give con-sumers incentives to make cost-conscious decisions?

Why can’t we permit lower premiums and/or premium re-bates for healthy lifestyles, simplify common administrativeprocedures, and let coverage follow people regardless ofwhere they work?

Let’s reform our medical malpractice laws, too, so our doc-tors don’t order so many tests out of fear of being sued. Thereare so many common sense changes we can make that don’t

cost anything at all! If Gov. Shumlin is honest, he’ll admit his grandiose Titan-

icCare plan cannot sail very far for very long. As Vermont’s governor, I will chart a common sense

course toward health care reform that everyone can follow;that controls cost, protects consumers, gets government outof the health care management business, and that lets ourfree enterprise system provide the kind of incredibly inven-tive and productive health care solutions it constantly cre-ates in transportation, telecommunication and, yes, medi-cine.

If you don’t like the Supreme Court decision or the direc-tion of health care in Vermont, your recourse now is in No-vember.

The Supreme Court’s decision supremely reinforces thefact that elections count.

Guest Commentary

Ruling is defeat for GOP,proponents of less gov-ernment, individual choiceFrom News Reports

MONTPELIER — U.S. Rep. Peter Welch(D) of Vermont issued a statement followingthe U.S. Supreme Court’s historic decisionon the Affordable Care Act.

“This historic decision by the SupremeCourt clears the way to get about the busi-

ness of ensuring that every American final-ly has access to quality and affordable healthcare. The Affordable Care Act will remainthe law of the land.

“Amidst the contentious national healthcare debate over the last two years, there hasbeen widespread consensus on one thing:America’s health care system is broken. Theonly beneficiaries of the status quo are insur-ance companies and their executives. Work-ing families need the peace of mind and thatcomes with quality and affordable healthcare coverage. And businesses need to com-

pete in a global economy without the heavyburden of skyrocketing employee healthcare premiums.

“With this landmark decision now behindus, both parties should set political differ-ences aside and make this law work for theAmerican people. It won't be easy, but it'stime to get back to work.”

The Supreme Court ruling is seen as astinging defeat to Republicans, Tea Partymembers, and other proponents of small-government and individual choice in health-care matters.

From the Editor

Just walk awayRon, a childhood friend of mine

who lives in Palm Springs nowa-days, telephoned me a few weeks

ago; he relayed some shocking health news.Ron and I have been lucky to keep in

touch over the years. I have followed hiscareer in the entertainment world; he hashad an amazing resilience. When we partedcompany in suburban Philadelphia duringthe 1980s, Ron moved to New York City,then on to Los Angeles—and now the Cali-fornia desert, east of L.A.

After a nasty divorce in 1992, Ron put hispersonal troubles behind him and jumpstarted his life.

In short order, along came a fabulous,high-paying job in Tinsel Town (with all theaccompanying stresses), Melody—an attrac-tive, fun-loving wife (a budding screen ac-tress, with all the accompanying stresses)—and a luxurious new home overlooking adesert canyon (with a whopping mortgageand all the accompanying stresses).

Then, about one-and-half-years aftermarrying, Ron’s first of an ever expandingbrood of super-sharp kids came along—three good kids with above-average skepti-cism and intelligence; just like their oldman.

Ron has everything you could ask for inan American life: love, money, talent, adash of minor fame, and an exciting careerand lifestyle. Except for one thing: a tinyshadow appeared in the corner of Ron’scolorful picture frame one day—the shad-ow of heart disease.

Ron, who’s 53, told me that he had suf-fered a heart attack while relaxing by hispool, at home, on Memorial Day. Ron’sheart attack took everyone by surprise.

According to Ron, “Although I should,by any normal analysis of events, be dead, Ithink my own ridiculous hypochondriasaved my life inasmuch as I started pop-ping aspirin as soon as I felt odd sensa-tions.”

Ron came through his first big health cri-sis amazingly well; he credits it to aspirin.

“I’m very lucky, very healthy, much bet-ter off cardiac-blood-flow-wise than I wasbefore,” he said. “I should be just fine but I

suddenly felt the need to call you to urgeyou to start taking a low-dose aspirin oncea day, if you're not already doing so. Itcould save your life.”

Ron also mentioned that he had changedhis diet under a doctor ’s supervision.

“No meat, no fat stuff. I am becomingone of those health nuts I used to hate,” hesaid. “A little over a month now and I feelmuch better.”

Ron said he feels like he’s never felt be-fore. As crazy as it sounds, at least for aperson who has just suffered a heart attack,he’s feeling in the pink.

“The writing was on the wall for me.Melody and I have to get out of this place,our jobs, our excessive lifestyle. Vermont’sstarting to sound like the perfect escape,”he said.

Well, I had to laugh at that one.“Yeah,” I said, “and one person’s escape

can easily be another person’s prison. Ron,a house with a canyon view, a swimmingpole, a hot tub? It all sounds perfect to me!”

“It ain’t, buddy boy,” he replied.Ron told me that, since the heart attack,

he was rethinking everything. In order tosurvive, he said, it would all have tochange—and soon.

In the weeks following our transconti-nental phone chat, I have been thinkingabout the thin thread that holds all of us tothis world. One snip of the thread and it’sover—forever.

One thing about our phone call standsout. Ron said, “Just walk away from anyoneor anything that saps your joy. Life is tooshort to put up with mirages in the desert.”

Was life really so bleak for Ron? Was it adesert filled with mirages, illusions? If itwas, then surely there must be a calmingoasis, somewhere, in the middle of thebleakness? And maybe that’s where we allfind our inner, life-renewing drink of coolwater. But that’s for Ron—and the rest ofus—to sort out.

In the meantime, in between time, here’sto your health, Ron. “Cento anni,” as theItalians say.

Last week I wrote to you a joke I cameup with while shopping at the localgrocery mart. I promised this week’s

column would be the result of my working thejoke into a piece I can use in my show. Here’swhat I came up with:

Farmer Eldred Towle had a radio station.Short wave A.M. 910. He ran it Sundays 10 to2, during haying season, to keep fellow farm-ers with transistors taped to their fendersminds off being guilty for not going to churchwith their wives … n’ kids … n’ in-laws, andothers whom Eldred dubbed curious for choos-ing to find comfort believing a women becamepregnant without ever having had sex.

Eldred’s short wave distraction mostlyworked, not countin’ Gib Campbell the 4th,whose-not-goin’-to-church guilt rose to such afever that he befriended two door- to-door go-ing Mormon girls to such a degree that he feltzero need to celebrate his birthday or Christ-mas ever again.

At noon Eldred Towle would be gentle whenhe’d settle the arm of his granddad’s Victrollaphonograph onto his “Country’s GreatestHits” LP record, head outdoors, mount his trac-tor, cut 3 rings around the pasture, come back,pick up the Victrola’s arm, which’d about runits course, then over the short waves vocallyproclaim loyalty to his station’s sole under-writer, HUMPTY DUMPTY DAY CARE “Wewatch the cracked ones half price,” Then he’dflip the record 180 degrees, re-settle the arm,run 3 more rings around the pasture, return,and repeat.

One late spring a clever, horse loving trust-a-fundian bartered Eldred a 3-night stay at herdowntown New York City loft apartment for asummer’s supply of hay. Eldred accepted andused the 3-nights stay as a call-in give-awayprize on one of his Friday shows, the shows hemost usually gives a free creamy certificate, do-nated by the Frosty Wosty, to the 4th caller, butdoesn’t wait roun long enough for the phone toring, and ends up cashing in the free creamycertificate himself.

Eldred announced: “Them what jingles thishere wall phone right off quickest, stays 3nights free in New York City, in a loft apart-ment, somewheres near the Little Eye-talianarea … in an aroun.”

Eldred had been out of his county twice hiswhole life and wouldn’t mind taking the 3 freenights stay in New York City for himself. And

if could find outthe loft had a bedlarge enough, he’dmaybe bring theole lady.

Eldred thoughthe’d count outloud to 17, and if noone rung, he’dhead back to the field and hay.

Filling the silence between Eldred’s speakingnumbers 13 and 14 was the ring of Gib Camp-bell Jr., Gib Campbell the 4th’s father GibCampbell the 3rd’s grandfather, and GibCampbell the 5ths great-grandfather … caseyou hadn’t figured that all out on your own.And if you had, as always, I give extra credit ifyou show your work.

Gib Campbell Jr’s wife, Campy Campbell’d,loved Italian things, and would do anything tosee Little Italy, including lifting the moratori-um on she and Gib’s marital relations, whichcould explain why Gib hopped down from his1967 Farmall 806, run cross 4 and a half freshlytetted acres of field, dialed and rung Eldred, in13 and a half seconds.

After Gib and Campy returned from the trip,Eldred interviewed Gib on the air.

Eldred: How was the City?Gib: The plane and taxi rides tightened my

touchhole so, I didn’t leave the loft for two days.Campy yanked me out on the third day, and weobserved a terrible display of debaucherish be-havior. And would you believe Eldred, me andCampy went and caught the Cirque du Soleil?It’s an awful mess.

Eldred: Oh, I caught that once at the Tun-bridge Fair. Rub some suave on it, it should begone up by morning.

The original joke starts from “ … would youbelieve …” through to the end of the piece “ …gone by morning ” and was an actual exchangeI’d had with a check-out lady at a grocery mart.

Understand this is a first draft, awaitingmany tweaks, memorization, and perform-ance, followed up by much more of the same.After working and performing if for a year, itcould be quite different from what you’ve justread. But it will retain the basic form, and bythen could work very well.

It’s what I do for a living. Beats working.Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New

York with his act “The Logger.” His column appearsweekly.

“In this area, the ten foot wide pavedpath is off the existing road, traffic im-pacts will be sporadic, mainly fortrucks,” according to Hinesburg officialRocky Martin. “They indicated theywill have another crew starting fromthe Commerce-Mechanicsville roadsintersection. Construction in much ofthis area will involve curbing with thefive foot sidewalk close to the road.”

Engineering work was performed byVHB of Ferrisburg. Construction in-spection services are being provided byStaff Sterling Management of Mor-risville.

Martin said traffic will be reduced toone lane and asked motorists to seek al-ternate routes and to expect traffic de-lays and heavy construction vehicles.

Why book publishers won’t tell the truth As the publishing industry gathers in New York for its an-

nual trade show, BookExpo America, they’re discussingeverything except the one piece of information authors crave:how many books they actually sell.

There is no equivalent of gold records in the book publish-ing industry. That’s because sales numbers are almost im-possible to come by, and the numbers you can track downsimply cannot be verified.

Publishers are loath to provide accurate sales figures, fortwo reasons. One is that they don’t want authors to knowhow many copies they sold, so that they don’t have to payall the royalties due the authors. Second, they’re embar-rassed by how few copies most books sell.

Publishers control sales data the way the former SovietUnion controlled data regarding the sale of wheat, withabout as little honesty and transparency. So what’s an authorto do?

First, they can go to BookScan, a service of the A.C. Nielsensurvey company. Bookscan is the primary means by whichpublishers get sales data, which they use when consideringwhether to buy a new book from a previously published au-thor. Amazon makes Bookscan data available to individualauthors for their own books through its Author Central pro-gram. Sounds great, but BookScan isn’t perfect.

Bookscan measures sales for only about 75 percent of thebook vendors in the United States, including Amazon andbrick-and-mortar Barnes & Noble stores. So the numberspoint toward the success level of a given book, but don’t pro-vide precise sales data. On top of that, most small, independ-ent book publishers don’t report their sales to BookScan, soif your book was sold out of a garage, whether it’s yourgarage or someone else’s, you won’t find those numbers onBookScan. And BookScan also doesn’t count sales of ebooksor books sold for the Kindle, Nook, or other devices.

Amazon knows how many books it sells, but it won’t tellanyone, not even authors. Amazon does offer a sales rank-ing, updated hourly, of each book it sells, but those are rela-tive and not absolute figures. In other words, the bookranked 100th on the list may outsell the 101st book by a factorof 10, but you’d never know it.

Every book published in the United States that’s offeredfor sale through bookstores or Amazon must carry an ISBNnumber and bar code. You’d think you could track sales inreal time by punching in those numbers, the same way youcan track delivery of a FedEx package. Wrong again. Salesdata is in the hands of the publishers and booksellers, andthey certainly aren’t turning over critical information likethat to anyone.

You can always call your publisher and ask how manycopies were sold, but that presumes you can get through theirautomated phone answering system. Unfortunately, youcan’t. An author is welcome to demand an audit from a pub-lisher, but good luck. It’s expensive and time-consuming, itbrands the author as a hothead, and even audited numbersaren’t necessarily worth the paper they’re printed on. If thepublishers control the data, how do you know that this time

they’re telling you the truth?Another area in which publishers dupe authors is in sales

of rights to other entities –foreign publishers, translationrights, or book club sales.

Major publishers may or may not sprinkle a little Book OfThe Month Club money in your account, but you have no wayof knowing how much you really deserve. Same thing is trueif they sell copies in bulk sales. Their attitude is that theirbusiness is none of your business.

In short, there’s really no way to know how many copiesyou’ve sold.

From a publisher ’s standpoint, a perfect world would beone where there are no authors at all – no one whose handneeds holding, no one whose royalties need to be paid, noone who calls demanding more action on the marketing oftheir books. Since writers remain a necessary evil to publish-ers, their strategy has been to commoditize writing and thusdrive down the cost of getting a book written. If a publisherhas to build up an author as a brand, the publisher is actuallyincreasing the amount of money that author needs to be paidfor his or her next book. But if writing becomes fungible,there will always be a plethora of scriveners suffering fromlow self-esteem willing and happy to write any book on anysubject for a few thousand dollars. Or even for no advanceat all.

You can only cheat authors for so long before they decideto fight back. Fighting back doesn’t mean creating a tent citycalled “Occupy BookExpo.”

It means that authors are increasingly abandoning NewYork and instead publishing their books themselves, via Kin-dle Direct, Lulu, Xlibris, Smashwords, print-on-demandcompanies, and other means. It’s never been easier to targetniche markets via Google AdWords, Pinterest, and Facebook.

The stigma of self-publishing is rapidly disappearing. Au-thors now go directly to their readerships without the inter-vention or disingenuousness of the New York publishers.

Business professors call this phenomenon “disintermedia-tion,” the elimination of the middleman. Publishers have noregard for authors, as demonstrated by their mushroomstrategy when it comes to providing accurate sales data, andby the decline in the fees they pay authors to write books.

You have to wonder what they’re talking about at BookEx-po America. If they’re smart, the publishers are talking aboutwhat industries they can find jobs in now that the traditionalNew York publishing model is on its last legs. But since theyaren’t smart, they’re having the usual panel discussions onhow to rearrange deck chairs and keep the Titanic band play-ing on.

At the height of the economic collapse in 2008, Simon &Schuster editor Michael Korda said that the publishing in-dustry had weathered difficult storms before, and itwouldn’t be long before everyone – publishers and agents –would be back to having lunch again.

Wrong. If I were an editor attending BookExpo America, Iwouldn’t be making lunch reservations. Instead, I’d leaveearly and head to a Starbucks where I can work on my re-sume.

STARKSBORO — “God Almighty planted the first garden.And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures.” Sir Francis Ba-con.

As Amsterdam-native Marijke Niles, 66, tells visitors toher nursery business located along Robert Young Road in thefoothills of Starksboro, she inherited the Dutch way of gar-dening in harmony with nature.

As a young girl growing up in a house along an Amster-dam canal, where flowers appear everywhere, Marijke (pro-nounced Mah-ree-ka) blossomed quickly—a little bit like thechildhood tulip garden she lovingly tended.

Now, living an ocean away from her native Netherlands,this certified UVM Master Gardener continues to nurture herlife’s passion—that is, turning a myriad of seeds and cut-tings into healthy flowering, ornamental and vegetableplants.

“I opened Marijke's Perennial Gardens Plus in spring 2007with no particular blueprint,” Marijke said. “All I knew isthat, in my mind’s eye, I wanted to transform the landscapeinto a nursery that would be beautiful, educational, witty,and in harmony with the environment.”

Five years later, Marijke and her husband, retired PorterHospital orthopedic surgeon Dr. Price Niles, have trans-formed what was a weedy eight-acre hillside property, situ-ated at 1,500 feet above sea level, into a cultivated paradise.

While the couple keeps busy with the garden businessduring the growing season, in the dark winter months, Mar-ijke works as a ski instructor at the Sugarbush resort. Skiingmeans a lot to Marijke and Price; after all, husband and wifefirst met each other on snowy slopes.

Unlike other garden centers, a quick scan of Marijke’s gar-dens shows no greenhouse in sight.

Since Marijke specializes in USDA Zone 4 and colderplants, she has dispensed with the need to winter-over ten-der plants in energy guzzling greenhouses. Instead, thismaster gardener has devised a unique system of layering herplants—using organic materials and tarps—at the start ofcold weather. This neat trick appears to keep specimens in ahealthy, dormant state during the winter months (with onlyminor losses); properly banked, these living plants are readyto reawaken come spring.

Again, scanning Marijke’s commercial garden layout, youwill notice several artistically designed “mini gardens” in-terconnected by grassy, winding paths.

The paths skirt a small pond with dock (visitors are wel-come to take a dip), labeled flower gardens, folksy bird bathsand feeders, and then meanders through a gap between two,glacial erratics (boulders).

One boulder, a true Goliath giant, and the other, a lithifiedDavid, are both frozen in time.

The erratics are ancient, metamorphic rocks that weredropped in the Niles’ front yard—thanks to a retreating IceAge glacier—10,000 years ago. The boulders provide an eye-catching backdrop to a very welcoming greenscape.

Each one of Marijke’s mini-gardens exhibit special group-ings of plants.

The garden plots provide gardeners with everything fromlandscaping ideas to what variety of plant to consider—aswell as when and where to place at home.

Take the Rock Garden, in the shadow of “Goliath”, withits cold-hardy variety of New England’s only native cactusspecies. This rugged prickly pear cactus plant (Latin name:Opuntia humifusa) happily endures Vermont’s coldest win-ters—providing it is planted in sandy, well-drained soil in asouthern exposure.

Nearby, the Hen House Garden displays a touch of folksyhumor with miniature, cut-out roosters which point the wayto an unusual selection of succulents commonly known asHens and Chicks (Latin name: Crassulaceae). These plants,native to Europe and North Africa, are deceptive; they looklike they should be xeriscape specimens, but in reality theyenjoy Vermont’s cool, wet climate.

“Nearly everything I grow and sell should please Vermontgardeners,” she said. “There’s lots of variety. My plants areeither native to New England or will thrive in our climate.Ninety-nine percent of my plants are field grown right herein Addison County.”

Healthy, hardy flowering plants, shrubs, edible-berrybearing bushes, vegetables and rock-garden curiosities willdelight even the most jaded gardener. And you won’t findmany pesky insects at this Starksboro Eden to annoy yourplant shopping expedition. Happy birds, attracted by themany plantings, keep their bellies full of bugs all summerlong.

The Niles’ respect for the environment is a key factor whenit comes to marketing their business.

“Our nursery is certified and licensed by the Vermont

Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets,” Marijke said.”We are also participating in the Plant Wise Vermont pro-gram—protecting our woods and waterways. We alwaysgarden in a responsible, sustainable manner. If we avoidchemicals in the garden, nature will reward us. We also be-lieve it’s time to reduce our carbon footprint. So, we invitecustomers to bring their reusable, used pots and creativecontainers. We will happily recycle them.”

And when a shopper ’s garden cart is full of Marijke’s nice-ly priced plant treasures to take home, there’s really no needto rush off.

Sit a spell at the nursery’s Dutch-style Spa, a woodsy out-door café set under a copse of Colorado spruce trees. You’reinvited to relax, and enjoy the sounds, smells and color ofnature around you at Marijke’s. Like us, you probably won’tbe in a big hurry to leave. But then the Niles have invited

you to return to enjoy, again, that purest of human pleas-ures—the magic of being in Marijke’s Perennial GardensPlus.

Check it out: Marijke’s Perennial Gardens Plus is openMay 1 –Sept. 15, daily 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Wednesday 2-7 p.m.,closed Tuesday. The nursery is open most Wednesdays, 9a.m.-12:30 p.m. From East Middlebury via Bristol, takeRoute 116 north to Route 17 east. Turn right (east). Drivethree miles to Lafayette Road (second on left).

MONTPELIER — Like to snoop on your neighbors? Whenit comes to piles of old tires, the Vermont Legislature and theVermont Agency of Natural Resources are actively seekingsnitches.

Recent state law passed earlier this year now requires theAgency of Natural Resources to compile a database of “prob-lem tire piles” around the state.

ANR will, in turn, estimate the cost and time needed to re-move the tires at inventoried locales.

ANR officials define problem tire piles as those as having100 tires or more.

“We are aware of a number of tire piles, especially thoseat salvage yards, but there could be many more scatteredthroughout the state,” said Cathy Jamieson, ANR’s SolidWaste Program manager. “We are asking for local input indetermining where those piles are.”

To identify where tire piles are located, ANR has set up anInternet survey that will pinpoint big tire piles.

Jamieson said likely “problem” piles will be several hun-dred. They are typically in junk yards and around farms,some discreetly hidden from view.

“Most scrap tires in Vermont are responsibly collectedthrough retail tire dealers or solid waste facilities,” Jamiesonadded, “but some persons may not want to pay the $2 or $3recycling fee and are stockpiling or disposing of the tires im-properly. We need to get a sense of how much of a problemthis is.”

The law allows the ANR to fund tire pile clean ups, butonly after providing

Owners of problem tire piles are asked to do the clean upwork, but ANR has offered repayment—thanks to taxpay-ers—for the clean up costs.

The Vermont Legislature expects a report from ANR at thestart of the January session.
