SHOREHAM—WoochuckHard Cider is expanding itsline of V ermont-made craftcider. November will see thedebut of the Farmhouse Se-lect Har d Cider Series.Farmhouse Select is a smallbatch line, featured in acorked bottle.

The Vermont Har d CiderCompany, LLC –makers ofWoodchuck Har d Cider–reached an agr eement withShoreham-based ChamplainOrchards to custom pr ess aweekly shipment of sweetcider from locally grown ap-ples.

“This agr eement withChamplain Orchards, an or-chard that also calls AddisonCounty home, reinforces thestrong commitment we haveto our home state,” said BretWilliams, pr esident andCEO of the V ermont Har dCider Company. “We sourceonly the highest quality in-gredients for our cider , andVermont apples ar e some ofthe best in the world.”

For local fruit growers the

relationship brings addi-tional business and helps tofully utilize their cr op,which can often be damagedby severe weather.

“When frozen rain or hailhits and cuts the apple, theprice we can get for a busheldevalues fr om $28 to $4,”said Bill Suhr , owner ofChamplain Orchards. “Witha commitment like this fromVermont Har d Cider , ourfull a pple c rop w ill b e u ti-lized.”

Original ’91 is a thr ow-back to the early days incider making fr om a Proc-torsville garage. The yearwas 1991.

“We have grown consider-ably since those early days,”said W illiams. “But westrive to r emain as locallyrooted as we can.”

“We can gr ow apples inVermont and the har d cideris being made in V ermont.It’s just good business,” saidSuhr. “Vermont Hard CiderCompany is paying a premi-um, but the trickle-down ef-

fect on the local economy isthe pay off. It’s walking thewalk and not just talking thetalk.”

A new bottling line will bededicated exclusively to theFarmhouse Select Series. At

6.9 per cent alcohol by vol-ume (ABV), Original ’91 hasa suggested r etail price of$10.99 per bottle, with year-round a vailability i n m ajormarkets acr oss the UnitedStates, including Vermont.

Thanks to entrepreneur PhiloFarnsworth—whose invention oftelevision made him wealthy—

television viewers across the country in2011 have been able to watch the populistprotests against such evils as high-in-come and banks.

The anti-capitalist Occupiers, fromNew York’s hallowed Wall Street districtto seedy Oakland streets, can be seen us-ing their cellular telephones—inventedby capitalist Motorolaexecutive Martin Coop-er—and their laptopcomputers—inventedby rich Grid Systemsexecutive WilliamMoggridge—as theycomplain that the col-lege debt they incurred($25,000 per 22-year-old, on average) whilepursing practical de-grees in Medieval Lit-erature, Gender and/orGay Studies, or Keyne-sian Analyses in Eco-nomic Governance. Sadly, such pursuitshave not opened up high pay and perksin corner-office management jobs.

All three of the above inventors startedout as quite ordinary guys. Mr.Farnsworth’s family lived on the lowerfloor of a house partially paid for by up-per-floor room rentals to college stu-dents.

All of the aforementioned men usedtheir initiative to create products so valu-able to others that some of the wealthcreated came back to them.

Think about Eli Whitney, John Deere,Cyrus McCormick, two Thomas’, Daven-port and Edison, Anna Baldwin, HenryWallace, and untold others who changedagriculture in ways that reduced the av-erage urban American’s food budgetfrom half of total income before the CivilWar to less than a tenth now.

Not that present-day urban consumersare appreciative nor are the Wall Streetoccupiers; they resent the income andwealth disparity which arises when a few

enterprising folks invent and marketproducts and services so valuable to oth-ers that they become rich in the process.

Think Vanderbilt and trains, Rocke-feller and oil, Watson and big computers,Jobs and little computers, Sulzberger andprint journalism: all were wealth cre-ators, not manipulators.

All these guys and gals made money ata rate which changed the American Gini

Coefficient and LorenzCurves—the mathematicalmeasure of income disparityin a population, reflectinghigher gains to rich vs. poorearners.

The average Americanadult is five times wealthierbecause of such folks thanthe average world adult, halfof whom experience a farlower standard of living eventhough they enjoy highertop-to-bottom income equali-ty.

From an historical perspec-tive, the USA is again in a pe-

riod of higher Gini Coefficient income-distribution inequality (think Jack Kilbyfor the computer chip, Bill Gates for com-puter–consumer interface, Hinckley andTandy for computer marketing) and now,just as in the Gilded Age and the RoaringTwenties, some of those who benefittedthe most are now complaining the most.

Only a few lonely voices are pointingout the many jobs and careers open tograduates with useful knowledge in tech-nical fields (overall college-grad employ-ment difficulties notwithstanding).

Vermont shows its own little Gini Co-efficient curve enhancement as departingmedian-income earners; to be replaced byhigher, mostly passive, income folks.

Should the movers and shakers inAmerican capitalism take steps to flattenthe Gini Curve? Yes, because if theydon’t, the populist streak in Americanpolitical thought will bring forth anotherLeftist political lurch, as it’s done twicebefore.

I dream of Gini, but with flatter curves Tropical Storm Irene hit Vermont

hard. At a statehouse briefing onNov. 10, Deputy Transportation

Secretary Sue Minter totaled up the dam-age.

Fourteen hundred residences – 433 ofthem mobile homes – dam-aged; 1,350 households dis-placed; 34 state highwaybridges washed out; 90town bridges gone orclosed; 2,260 state road seg-ments damaged; 531 statehighway miles closed; 175town roads closed; threethousand repair projectsunder way.

By the time the rainstopped, Vermonters setout to repair the damage.Gov. Shumlin named for-mer Administration Secre-tary Neale Lunderville as Irene RecoveryOfficer. The VTrans team set up regionalcommands to get the roads open.

The Vermont Army National Guard andGuard detachments from nine states as faraway as South Carolina and Illinoisbrought equipment and manpower. TheRed Cross and many other organizationswent to work to ameliorate the human sideof the damage. A state cleanup day on Oct.22 brought out thousands of volunteers.

These combined efforts have been a his-toric success. How many other states couldhave performed so spectacularly in the faceof a calamity of this magnitude? At thestatehouse briefing the assembled legisla-tors gave two standing ovations for theVTrans employees who got the roads openand the traffic moving.

Three weeks after the storm, Gov. Shum-lin announced that the total damage topublic infrastructure and state propertywould be over $1 billion. Now it turns outthat, using reasonable assumptions aboutfederal assistance, the cost to Vermont tax-payers will come to $267 million, or even(best case) $106 million. (Both of these fig-ures include $50 million to replace the Ver-mont State Hospital facility, which hasbeen in planning stages for a decade.)

As these sharply lowered numbers werebeing compiled, Gov. Shumlin said “whenyou bring in the National Guard, and youdon’t have to hire flaggers, and you don’t

have to keep roads open while you’re re-building, and you can take the gravel andthe rock from the brooks and rivers that itgot washed into, you drastically reduce thecost of rebuilding.”

Deputy Secretary of Transportation SueMinter added “When we’re inan emergency, we don’t haveto take on all of the normalconstruction processes. Thoseextend from permitting at thefederal and state [levels] tocommunity outreach, to sur-veying to negotiation andcompensation for right of way– a whole host of processesthat we were able to shortcutin this emergency response.”

She went on to say, as re-ported by True North Re-ports, “It usually takes an av-erage of eight years to take a

bridge project from beginning to comple-tion. [On the Route 114] project we did sev-eral expedited processes, including closingthe road, to take that to three months andinstead of a $1.5 million average, to$300,000. We know we can cut costs.”

House Republican Leader Don Turnerthen raised an obvious question. “If we canbypass some of those steps in an emer-gency situation and save hundreds of mil-lions of taxpayer dollars, why can’t we dothat all the time?”

To some, that is a very dangerousthought.

Vermont’s environmental activist groupshave spent forty years deliberately makingany project that would affect the environ-ment, ecosystems, transportation, econom-ic growth and esthetics the target of costlyand exhausting regulatory processes.

So when Gov. Shumlin says, “You can beassured that in the interest of deliveringthe best possible roads and bridges andtransportation infrastructure that we can tothe hard-pressed taxpayers in Vermont, wehave asked the Agency of Transportation…to assess how we can bring this kind ofgood news to future road projects,” thealarm bells start ringing at enviro head-quarters.

Look for a counterattack in the 2012 leg-islature. The enviros, spearheaded by Sen-ate Natural Resources Chair Ginny Lyons,

Irene’s hidden blessing

Iam the Rutland city treasurerand, since February of this year,I have used the financial skills I

developed over a professional lifetimeto evaluate the financial impact ofVermont’s planned transition to GreenMountain Care through the healthcare exchange beginning in 2014.

I wish my car eful, pr ofessionalanalysis was wr ong, but it r evealsclearly that cr eating a state publichealth car e plan will r esult in a $300-plus million annual shortfall in thefund, culminating in a $2 billion cumu-lative deficit in five years.

That projected deficit is pretty shock-ing, but ther e is suf ficient informationavailable in state r eports, administra-tion memos, and other public sour cesfor any financially adept person to de-velop a similarly complete pr ojectionmodel and maybe they can come upwith a different conclusion...

I ur ge state legislators to r equest,from the administration, a complete fi-nancial pr ojection to be developed al-most immediately, including r evenuesand expenses, actuarial analysis and se-rious independent economic studies tosupport the assumptions of the projec-tions in order to ensure due diligence isdone.

Revenue projections are particularlyimportant because the new state healthcare fund, with over $3 billion in annu-al expenses, will be larger than the Ed-ucation Fund, General Fund and the

Transportation fund combined. No oth-er piece of legislation that has come outof Montpelier—not even Act 60—willhave the far reaching impacts of Act 48on our economy, our state treasury, ourwell-being and quality of life, and thefuture of V ermont. Befor e we go anyfurther with the Governor’s health careplan, the administration simply mustdemonstrate that revenues will be suf-ficient to pr event anything like the $2billion cumulative deficit the enclosedprojections show occurring in fiveyears.

The governor may not agr ee thatthese pr ojections ar e corr ect but theypresent a challenge to the administra-tion (and to you!) to explore the finan-cial i ssues m ore c ompletely t han h asbeen done so far.

In fact, the legislature should set spe-cific benchmarks that, if unmet, willhalt program activity. The language inthe current bill is insufficient to ensurethe contr ol over fiscal matters by thelegislative branch that the V ermontConstitution demands.

Here is a summary of the key issues:The creation of Green Mountain Care

will result in the largest tax increase inthe history of Vermont.

The model demonstrates that a pay-roll tax must be the prime funding op-tion, as no other tax has the ability toproduce the $1.5 billion or more that isneeded to support the fund. Other tax-

es, such as income tax or a broad-basedtax may be needed to supplement thepayroll tax to fill a projected shortfall.

It is important to consider the impactof a significant payroll tax on our econ-omy. High-wage employers and self-employed individuals may considerleaving the state. Low-wage employersand those who lack access to health carefrom other states will be encouraged torelocate in the state.

In this pr ojection I have includedlikely savings from the proposal gener-ated by Dr . W illiam Hsaio. But Rep.George T ill (D-Jericho), himself aphysician, disclosed the following in arecent interview with the VermontMedical Society: “I have been clear inmy opinion, and every bit of Vermontspecific data I’ve seen suggests, overes-timated administrative savings in theHsaio report.” Therefore, I have modi-fied the savings in the enclosed projec-tion, as well.

I have assumed the current Medicaidglobal commitment continues, but ad-ditional Medicaid funding throughPPACA may not be available due to is-sues relating to the federal budget.

All of the financial risk will be a lia-bility of the state, in addition to dam-age costs fr om Ir ene, str uctural statedeficits, and long term pension andOPEB liabilities.

MONKTON—The Monkton Community Coffeehouse andthe Monkton 250th Founding Celebration Committee an-nounce the launch of the Monkton Flag Pr oject to design atown flag and postmark for the town’s 250th anniversary onJune 24, 2012.

Kristen Farrell, Mt. Abraham Union High School historyteacher and chairman of Monkton’s 250th Founding Celebra-tion Committee, wants Monkton r esidents of all ages toknow ... “Designing a town flag and postmark is a great op-portunity to get everyone involved and excited about beingpart of a community art pr oject to commemorate the 250thbirthday celebration of Monkton. It will provide a legacy forfuture generations and foster pride in our town.”

“We ar e always looking for cr eative ways to connectneighbors with each other and with this beautiful place wecall home,” said Jonathan Cor coran, one of the founders ofthe Monkton Community Cof feehouse. “Cr eating a flagseemed like a great opportunity to get residents to dig deepand explore what it is that makes Monkton special and mean-ingful to them. And with a big birthday coming up, howgreat to memorialize all that in a flag!”

With the support of a $250 grant r eceived by the Cof fee-house from Neat Repeats, the flag project will unfold in threestages from November through March. Stage one is the com-munity design phase in which residents will respond to thefollowing questions and mail their r eplies to the MonktonCommunity Cof feehouse, PO Box 101, Monkton, VT 05469by Dec. 1 or drop them at the Town Hall, the Russell Libraryor the Monkton Central School.

What symbol or image best captur es Monkton for you?What do you love about living her e? The symbol or imagecan come from the land or nature, history, geography, agri-

culture, town buildings etc. Keep it simple — a flag shouldbe so simple that a child can draw it fr om memory. No let -tering or seals!

What colors best represent Monkton and relate to the sym-bol you chose? The colors need to contrast well and mustcome from the standard color set.

Are there any shapes or patterns that ar e meaningful toyou? Draw them. The layout needs to be distinctive andhandsome but readily distinguishable at a distance.

The community data will be compiled, summarized andmade public by Dec. 12.

Stage two is the cr eative phase of the pr oject where indi-viduals take the community data and create their own 11” X17” flag on paper. The Coffeehouse will sponsor several flagworkshops in January to encourage participation. Flag de-sign kits will be distributed thr ough the Monkton CentralSchool, the Russell Library and the Town Hall. The deadlinefor submissions will be Feb. 1.

The designs will be turned over to a professional graphicsartist for rendering and presentation in Adobe Illustrator.

The third and last stage occurs at Town Meeting on March6 with a public exhibition of the top five flags. Residents willvote for their top three designs.

The Flag Design committee will compile the results to de-termine the winning design and upload it to a manufacturerfor production and delivery of five 3’ X 5’ flags in time forthe town’s 250th anniversary on June 24, 2012.

The winning design will then be transformed into a post-mark and used as a cancellation stamp by the Monkton PostOffice during the month of June.

Residents will be encouraged to bring a self-addressed en-velope to the celebration to have it postmarked for posterity.

The postmark will then be retired and stored at the TownHall for futur e generations to r emember Monkton’s 250thFounding Celebration.

Monkton creates flag, postmark for 250th birthday


RUTLAND—Vermonters have always had a soft spot forauto racing. Small tracks on farms and in empty fields haveexisted throughout the state since the 1920s, when motor rac-ing emer ged fr om the shad ows and became both a viablesport and money-making business.

Combining business acumen and racing enthusiasm, MikeBruno of Rutland, along with his wife Alayne, are now thenew owners of Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Route 22A in NewHaven.

The Br unos just pur chased the track fr om founder C.J.Richards. Richards opened the track back in 1967.

To officially kick of f the passing of the tor ch, the Br unosheld a news conference at the Holiday Inn-Rutland Nov. 8 tointroduce themselves to news writers and discuss plans forNASCAR’s Whelen All-American Racing Series at the WestHaven track.

Last month, the Brunos held a town meeting-style gather-ing to introduce themselves to over 150 drivers, owners, andcrew members. The track owners ar e handling the surprisetransition with a lot of grace and pr ofessionalism; theypromise to both elevate the speedway and carve out a big-ger weekend entertainment share of Rutland County.

The Br unos manage Br uno Enterprises which operatestowing services and auto repair shops in Rutland, Castleton,Poultney and Killington. Adding a NASCAR track to the mixmay seem like a stretch, but in reality, it’s an ideal businessfit.

”Today is a major milestone for me personally ,” Br unosaid. “I’ve traveled all over the country to race, but my rootshave been firmly planted at Devil’s Bowl since I was young.”

Mike Bruno said he met his wife Alayne at Devil’s Bowl.“That shows you just how deep the roots are,” he quipped.

While Alayne is active in the partnership, Mike does mostof the talking.

“Our plans will focus on the rebirth of Devil’s Bowl,” hesaid.

According to Justin St. Louis, Devil’s Bowl media and mar-keting director, the Bruno rebirth includes open-wheel, dirt-style 358-Modifieds and integrating them with the curr entcrate-engine Sportsman Modifieds, as well as growing theAmerican-Canadian Tour-legal Late Model division and theRenegade and Bomber support classes.

“I met with NASCAR officials in Florida and our manage-ment team met with local competitors two weeks ago andmade gr eat pr ogress,” Br uno noted. “W e’re confident thistransition will go smoothly for everyone.”

Bruno said NASCAR is committed to local tracks like Dev-il’s Bowl, even as the organization’s big track races—broad-cast via television and radio—ar e still a national audiencedraw despite some decline in draw in recent years.

“It’s all about brand building,” Bruno said. “You’ll be see-ing more of the NASCAR brand around here.”

Bruno also said that he wants to involve more of the com-munity in Devil’s Bowl; he suggested that communitygroups and individuals will be able to have fun trying theirhand at racing during intermission. He said k-kart racing, apossible future dirt near the current paved track, and evennon-racing events are being considered.

To add the sizzle to the Devil’s Bowl steak, the Brunos in-troduced the racetrack’s top stars and biggest draws—driv-ers Ron Proctor, Hunter Bates, and Jessey Mueler.

Veteran driver Proctor, who earned $10,000 in 2011 for hisinvolvement in the NASCAR Whelen series, said he was ex-cited about the new ownership. “W e will build on our suc-cess,” he said.

Teen drivers Bates and Mueler are in the spotlight due totheir rising successes.

“I like the new owners,” Bates said. “And Devil’s Bowl hasalways been a great place to race.”

“Just to show you how young these guts [Bates andMueller] are,” said St. Louis, “they had to get special per-mission to leave school to be with us here today.”

MIDDLEBURY—It may not have beengreat news, but at least it was better news forthe Vermont Department of Labor.

The state released its seasonally-adjustedstatewide unemployment rate Nov . 17 forOctober 2011 and it was down—albeit slight-ly—to 5.6 percent, a tiny drop of two-tenthsof a percent from the September rate.

Based on the current pace of job recoveryin Vermont, it could take as long as year be-fore the state appr oaches its pr e-2009 em-ployment rate.

“The Vermont seasonally-adjusted unem-ployment rate has fallen for a second monthin a row, which is good news as we start tomove beyond the initial economic impactsfrom Tropical Storm Irene,” said Labor Com-missioner Annie Noonan who better a posi-tive spin on the less than spectacular news.

“However, we remain cautious in our opti-mism. The uncertainty surr ounding federalsupport of state pr ograms and services, thepolitical d ivisiveness i n C ongress, an d t heinternational f inancial c risis m ay h ave i m-pacts on V ermont’s unemployment situa-tion.”

The lowest unemployment rate is 3.5 per-cent in both Hartford and Warren-Waitsfieldand the highest, at 7.0 per cent, is in New-port.

In the private sector, trade, transportationand utilities reported the largest nominal in-crease in jobs while leisur e and hospitalityreported the largest decline.


ROCHESTER—Residents of Rochester ,Vt., are observing a painful anniversary. Ithas been 10 years since the unsolved murderof 28-year-old local r esident Dean Webster.Webster was remembered fondly by all whoknew him. Friends and family are still heart-broken over the mystery murder.

Webster ’s body was found by a V ermontState Police trooper at his home on Sky Hol-low Road on Nov. 17, 2001.

According to Detective Sgt. Eric Hudsonof the VSP’s Bur eau of Criminal Investiga-tion and others involved in the case, the ini-tial assessment at Webster ’s house suggest-ed that he did not take his own life; investi-gators from both the Bureau of Criminal In-

vestigations and the Medical Examiner’s Of-fice took part in the investigation. State de-tectives r uled the case a homicide after along investigation and exhaustive autopsy.

“The Vermont State Police continue to ac-tively investigate the murder of Webster. Todate, the State Police continue to receive andinvestigate leads in this case. And investiga-tors continue to explor er any and all inves-tigative strategies in an attempt to uncoverinformation,” Stephanie Dasar o, VermontState Police public information of ficer, stat-ed in a news r elease marking the anniver-sary.

Dasaro said that VSP, along with the Web-ster family, are still encouraging resident toprovide information a decade after the inci-dent.

“The Vermont State Police is offering a re-

ward of up to $5,000 for information leadingto the r esolution of this case and/or infor-mation leading to the arrest and convictionof the person or persons r esponsible,” De-saro wrote. “The Vermont State Police offersrewards on specific major cases with an em-phasis on unsolved homicides and missingpersons where foul play is suspected.”

In addition to the W ebster case, there areseveral other unsolved murders in Vermont.VSP said that new information, even if pr o-vided years after the fact, can lead to arrests.

If you have any information related to themurder of Dean Webster, or any of our oth-er unsolved homicides in Vermont, please donot remain silent. Call the Vermont State Po-lice at the Crime Information Tip Line at 802-241-5355.

LUDLOW—The Green Mountain Club hasaccepted management r esponsibility for anadditional 22 miles of the Appalachian Trailin Windsor County.

The club, which founded and maintainsVermont’s Long Trail, currently manages theAppalachian Trail (A.T.) where it coincideswith the Long Trail as well as fr om Killing-ton to Route 12 in W oodstock. W ith thistransfer, the club will also lead managementefforts from Route 12 to the Connecticut Riv-er.

This str etch of trail, r unning thr oughWoodstock, Pomfret, Hartford and Norwich,is highlighted by r olling hills and open ar-eas affording hikers spectacular views.

“We look forwar d to joining ef forts withan active cadre of volunteers already work-ing on the Appalachian Trail,” says WillWiquist, executive dir ector of the Gr eenMountain Club (GMC). “The transfer con-tinues our century-old effort to support hik-ing trails throughout Vermont, now includ-ing the full stretch of Appalachian Trail, newtrails in the Northeast Kingdom, and theLong Trail System.”

The transfer was made of ficial at theGreen Mountain Club Ottauquechee Sec-tion’s November meeting with the Ap-palachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) re-dele-gating r esponsibility fr om the DartmouthOuting Club (DOC) to the Gr een MountainClub.

Hawk Metheny, New England regional di-rector of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy,said, “It has been a pleasur e to work withboth the GMC and DOC staff and volunteerson the maintenance r eassignment. ATC ap-preciates that GMC is welcoming any DOCvolunteers who have performed trail orboundary maintenance on this section tocontinue their work under the guidance ofGMC. ATC is confident in GMC's ability tomanage this section of the A.T. to a high stan-dard, the club's 101 year history as stewards

of the Long Trail assures that.”Rory Gawler , staf f advisor to the Dart-

mouth Outing Club, said, "The DOC is veryexcited to r efocus its ener gies in its ownbackyard in New Hampshire – our historicalconnection to the AT has always been a chainof cabins and trails connecting Hanover toMoosilauke, and it will be gr eat to focusmore intently on that. We have many new fa-cilities a nd t rails t o k eep u s b usy a nd w eknow that the beautiful trail between Route12 and the Connecticut River will be in goodhands with the GMC - they've been great towork with thr ough this whole pr ocess, our

relationship as trail maintaining colleaguesis better than ever and we're looking forwardto f uture c ollaboration w ith o ur f riends i nVermont.”

The Green Mountain Club relies on an es-timated 1,000 volunteers every year to help

maintain mor e than 500 miles of V ermonttrails and more than 60 shelters and lodges.The club counts on 14 sections as well as trailadopters to lead these efforts throughout thestate.

MONTPELIER — The dayafter Tropical Storm Irenestruck Vermont and severelydamaged mor e than 500miles of state road and some200 bridges, the V ermontAgency of T ransportation(VTrans) quickly learnedthat its usual method of con-veying information aboutroad and bridge closures viathe Internet was not going tobe adequate. A new tool wasneeded, a nd i t w as n eededfast.

Early the next day , thephone rang.

Former V ermont StateSenator Matt Dunne, whoheads up Community Af-fairs for Google, was on theline. A r esident of W indsorCounty, which was hit par-ticularly hard by the storm,Dunne was r eaching out toall states that were impactedby Ir ene to of fer Google’sservices – free of charge.

VTrans quickly accepted.Within hours of Dunne’s

call, VTrans formed an in-house team of IT techniciansand GIS mapping gur us tomeet – virtually, of course –with Google staff in Califor-nia. W orking thr ough the

night, the joint high-techteam coor dinated withVTrans’ scouts who wer eworking in the field to iden-tify the specific locationswhere highway damage hadoccurred.

In the wee hours of themorning, the team devel-oped and then created a GISdatabase of Vermont bridgeclosures and r oadway dam-age. By the end of the nextday – just the thir d day fol-lowing Ir ene’s devastatingblow – Google published thefirst of what would be manyeasy-to-use maps depictingreal-time r oad and bridgedamage thr oughout the en-tire State of Vermont.

“Part of Google's missionis to help communities incrisis with informationtools,” Dunne said. “W ewere happy to partner withthe V ermont Agency ofTransportation in the after -math of the flooding. W ehope this map was helpful toVermonters in the monthsfollowing Irene.”

Helpful is an understate-ment. The new map not onlyidentified which roads –such as Route 9 or Route 100

– that were impacted, but themap was so detailed that itidentified the specific loca-tions along each r oad thatwere damaged. Each loca-tion was then color coded tohelp the traveling public un-derstand whether that loca-tion was closed, or just lim-ited in some capacity.

As r oad conditionschanged and once impassi-ble sections wer e r epaired,VTrans staff continuallyworked with Google to up-date the map, a new versionof which was publishedtwice daily to ensure travel-ers had virtually up-to-the-minute information on howto navigate the state.

“The V ermont GoogleMap has been a tr emendoushelp to Vermonters and visi-tors in the aftermath ofIrene,” said V ermontTourism and MarketingCommissioner MeganSmith. “Roads and bridgesaround the state were re-paired in a remarkably shortperiod of time, and themap’s seamless and r eal-time updates greatly sup-ported our message that Ver-mont is open for businessand that you can get her efrom ther e. The updatedmap was especially helpfulto staf f at V ermont’s infor-

mation centers, as well as toour 1-800-Vermont call cen-ter in Newport, whose staf fcounseled hundreds of trav-elers.”

The tool was so powerfuland easy to use that VT ransquickly r eworked its Inter-net homepage to prominent-ly display the color -coded,traveler information tool.

“The map was the tool weused to tell our story both toVermonters and to thoselooking to visit V ermont,”said VTrans Secretary BrianSearles. “Thousands of peo-ple used the map to helpplan th eir t ravels d uring atime when it was not intu-itive on how to get ar ound.

Considering the economicconstraints that face all stateagencies, we are most grate-ful to Google for pr ovidingus such a valuable service.”

The need for such a serv-ice, however , has ended.With all but two bridges andnine miles of state r oadwayopen to public travel,VTrans today will cease pub-lishing its Ir ene-relatedGoogle map. The agency be-ginning Friday , November18, 2011 also will r eturn thelook and feel of its website’shomepage to the way it func-tioned befor e the tr opicalstorm str uck on August 28,2011.

Information regarding the

remaining Ir ene-relatedroad and bridge closur eswill be r olled into VT rans’long-standing 511 travel in-formation website, whichalso documents all other clo-sures to the V ermont StateHighway System.

VTrans will continue topublish information r elatedto Irene, including its popu-lar Facebook page that pr o-vides timely information re-garding Ir ene-relatedevents. But beginning No-vember 18, the agency willhouse Irene information in adesignated place within itsoverall website atwww.aot.vt.us rather thanpresenting storm-related in-formation as the centerpieceto the agency’s homepage.

Tropical Storm Ir ene se-verely damaged mor e than500 miles of state highway ,including some 200 statebridges. Today, only 2 bridgelocations r emains closed,and all but nine miles ofstate r oadway ar e open topublic travel. Road closuresremain on Route 12A in Rox-bury, Route 106 in Weathers-field and Route 107 betweenBethel and Stockbridge.

Questions r egardingstorm-damaged r oads andbridges r elated to T ropicalStorm Irene can be answeredby calling VT rans’ Ir eneStorm Center at 1-800-V er-mont. People can also visitVTrans’ website atwww.aot.state.vt.us wher ethey can follow the agency’sprogress o n b oth F acebookand Twitter.

Vt. energy planTo the editor:I see that the state’s new energy plan is all

about jobs, jobs, jobs. Jobs building newpower projects. Jobs rehabbing homes. Jobs,jobs and still more jobs! But wait a minute– jobs for who? Sometimes you have to eval-uate a plan by what it doesn’t say , not bywhat it says, and this plan says nothingabout who will be doing the jobs

Right now the renewable power industryhas a lousy track r ecord of hiring V ermon-ters, especially qualified unionized Vermon-ters. They tend to hire out-of-state firms thatpay their employees less than a livable wageand even less when it comes to employeebenefits. Is this “the Vermont way”? Are weto pay higher electric rates and have V er-

mont tax dollars go to the subsidized com-panies that ar e driving the gr een powercraze for little or no jobs for V ermonters?The green they must want goes in thier pock-et.

What this plan needs, and without whichI and many pr o-labor Vermonters will notsupport it, is a guaranteed provision that the“jobs, jobs, jobs” go to Vermonters, and witha preference for labor Vermonters . Until itsays so, and more important until the legis-lation and regulation that this plan promptssays so, I will oppose it as just another emp-ty political promise about job creation fromsomeone with another agenda entirely.

Let’s not “look the other way” on this one.George Clain

Letter to the Editor

MONTPELIER—Vermont’s Third Annu-al Bike/Ped For um was held at the statecapitol building in Montpelier and broughttogether cycle enthusiasts from a variety ofsectors including bike shops, advocacygroups, bike clubs, state government,chambers of commerce, and regional plan-ning commissions.

Owners from bike shops fr om Addison,Rutland and Windsor counties were in at-tendance. Bike leader discussions focusedon tropical storm damage to the state’s bi-cycle and pedestrian path infrastructure

Participants listened to Vermont DeputySecretary of Transportation Sue Minter de-scribe the impacts of T ropical Storm Ir ene

on Vermont, in particular bike bridges andpaths located near streams.

The f orum, i ncluding s ix b reakout s es-sions, pr ovided an opportunity for indi-viduals with a stake in bike and pedestri-an issues to meet and work together. Con-cerns centered around repairing damagedbike paths in the Rochester and Waterburyareas.

Bicycle activists said the 201 1 majorsponsors, the Department of T ourism andMarketing, Bike V ermont, Onion RiverSports, and the Central Vermont Chamberof Commerce, helped expand the forum toexpand new voices from central and south-ern Vermont.

MIDDLEBURY — Five members of the Middlebury Col-lege football team wer e honor ed when the All-NESCACteams were announced Nov. 17.

Junior tight end Billy Chapman (Gr eenwich, Conn.) andsophomore quarterback McCallum Foote (Newton, Mass.)earned first-team honors, while senior Nick Resor (W est-wood, Mass.) and juniors Remi Ashkar (Glen Rock, Ill.) andRyan Moores (Manchester, Mass.) earned second-team hon-ors. The gr oup helped the Panthers win thr ee of their lastfour games to finish at 4-4 in ’11.

Foote had tough shoes to fill in ’1 1, replacing four-year

starter Donald McKillop ’10 who r ewrote the school andNew England record books. In his first season of college ac-tion, the sophomor e came out firing, leading the nation inpassing yardage and total offense with 345.71 yards/game.He also ranked first nationally in passing with 32.43 com-pletions/contest. Foote finished the year 227 of 364 for 2,420yards in seven games. He tossed 20 touchdown passes, whilehaving nine picked off, earning NESCAC Player of the Weekhonors twice. Foote was also the recipient of the prestigious“Gold Helmet Award”, given weekly to the top performer inNew England. He earned the award after going 39 of 53 for412 yards with five touchdown passes in a win at Bates. Hisnumbers this season earned him spots in the NESCAC topfive single-season categories of passing yar dage, comple-tions attempt and touchdowns.

Chapman had a break-out season at tight end, leading theteam with 57 receptions for 635 yards with five touchdowns.His finished the year tied with Resor for the NESCAC leadwith 7.12 receptions/contest, while ranking third with 79.4yards/game. Chapman had several big games this season,including three with 10 or mor e catches. The junior caught10 passes for 139 yar ds with a touchdown against Colby ,while catching 11 balls for 122 yar ds with a scor e in a con-test at Bates.

Ashkar was the league’s fourth leading rusher, averaging83.4 yards/game. The junior carried the ball 189 times, earn-

ing 667 yar ds with 1 1 touchdowns and an average of 3.5yards/carry. Ashkar earned NESCAC player of the weekhonors in the final week of the season, gaining 105 yar dswith two touchdowns, including the game-winner late in awin over Tufts. He rushed for a season-high 132 yards witha pair of scores against Williams, while rushing for 100 ormore yards in four of eight games. Ashkar scored a touch-down in every game this season, while also catching 36 pass-es for 339 yards, ending the year with over 1,000 all-purposeyards.

Resor was one of Foote’s top targets this season, finishingtied with Chapman for the NESCAC lead with 7.12catches/game. Resor was fifth in the league with 66.8 yardsreceiving/game, pulling down five touchdown passes in ’11.He ended the year with 57 receptions for 534 yards, includ-ing a pair of touchdowns at Amherst. Resor had back-to-backbig games with 13 catches for 106 yards against Amherst and11 receptions for 130 yards against Williams.

Moores earns a spot on the second-team as an of fensivelineman for the second straight season. The junior helped an-chor a line that produced the NESCAC’s top offense this sea-son with 415 yards/game, 56 yards more than any other teamin the league. Moores and his linemates were part of the sec-ond-highest scoring offense in the league, while pr otectingFoote, the nation’s top passer.
