LUDLOW — Last June, onmy way to visit family in mynative Pennsylvania, I tookthe road less traveled. Idrove through a beautiful,less frequented portion ofNew York’s Catskill Moun-tain vacation region. Nes-tled among the trees, rightalong a cracked and fadedcounty highway, were thecrumbling remains of anabandoned summer resort,probably dating to the 1960s.

Why the mountain resorthad closed, I hadn’t a clue,but the ruins—which in-cluded an eroded Olympic-size swimming pool, nowfilled with brackish water,and weed-choked tennis andshuffleboard courts—echoed with the ghostlylaughter of long-gone sum-mer vacationers. There’snothing sadder to me than alost dream.

What I never realized, atleast until I came across anew book by author Jeremy

Davis, is that Vermont hasits own night gallery ofghost resorts, too. Davis’book, titled “The Lost SkiAreas of Southern Ver-mont”, tells the story of therise and fall of things.

In the case of the GreenMountain State, the resortghosts are the numerous,

long-closed, and nearly for-gotten, ski areas.

With the slopes of thesedead resorts now largelycovered with mature treegrowth, and their alpinewarming huts crumbled tomildewed heaps or con-sumed by voracious carpen-ter ants, these ski places take

us back to a simpler time—atime before apres snobs, andthe gentrification of mosteverything, ruined many anoutdoor experience for therest of us.

Hidden among the hillsand mountains of southern

Vermont are theslowly disappearingremnants of 60 ski ar-eas. Each has its ownsad story.

In most cases, theslopes of these re-sorts—from the mod-est to the plush—have returned to for-est. You may evencatch glimpses ofrusting ski lifts withtheir opcars scat-tered on the ground.

“Today,” accord-ing to Jeremy Davis,creator of the NewEngland Lost Ski Ar-eas Project onlineand author of the ex-cellent book, “only14 remain open and active insouthern Vermont. Thoughthey offer some incredibleskiing, most lack the inti-mate, local feel of these lostski trails.”

At a special gatheringabout Vermont’s lost ski ar-eas held at the CornerstoneRoom at Okemo Mountain’s

Jackson Gore Inn last week,Davis said over investment,local competition, local cli-mate change, skier habits,insurance costs, and goodold fashioned “bad luck”were behind the closing ofthese once beloved ski areas.

Before he signed his bookfor enthusiastic attendees,Davis showcased the storyof lost ski areas through bothphotos and maps.

Davis’ fascinating presen-tation included an introduc-tion to ski-area developmentin southern Vermont, whythe areas closed, and whathappened to them after theyclosed.

“From the family-operat-ed Hogback in WindhamCounty to Clinton Gilbert'sfarm in Woodstock—wherethe very first rope tow beganoperation in the winter of1934—these once popularski areas left an indelibletrace on the hearts of theirski communities and the his-tory of southern Vermont,”Davis said.

From the Editor

Before it’s too lateBeing a member of the fourth estate, even if a bit player, exposes one to bouts of ex-

treme depression. There’s so much bad news out there these days that even an edi-tor of a rural weekly has to admit it’s tough seeing the glass half full.

Now along comes another bummer to report: Vermont property owners are looking at alikely statewide tax hike.

One more government burden added to the backs of the working man and woman—added alongside rising fuel costs, inflation pressures, stagnant wages, depressed real es-tate values, increased food costs, etc., etc.

For those of us who had hoped for a modicum of compassion for homeowners fromMontpelier, it was political business as usual for our legislative oligarchy—at least whenit comes to the dreaded property tax. At this moment, property tax relief in Vermontlooks about as likely as finding dry land at the North Pole.

Democrat and Progressive members of the Vermont House voted strongly for a 5-centincrease in the statewide property tax Feb. 20. Sure it was the first round of voting, butthe eventual outcome has all the markings of a fait accompli, Montpelier style.

The final vote in the State House last week was 96-45, a “split” between the pro-proper-ty tax hike Democrats and the anti-tax hike Republicans.

Republicans stressed that the Democrats’ property tax increase proposal is coming at atime when public school enrollment in Vermont has declined in excess of 10 percent andmiddle class residents are feeling the pinch with stagnant wages and stagnant propertyvalues. Here’s my question: why do Republicans continue to appeal to reason and logic inMontpelier? It’s so, well, out of fashion these days when emotions intentionally governthe day.

After talking with a friend in Florida on the phone last week, I learned that Vermontstands in even starker contrast than the Sunshine State.

In Florida, legislators are looking at the first budget surplus in five years. The budgetsurplus occurred thanks to choice cuts in school spending, road-building, and bloated en-titlements. In fact, just a few weeks ago, Florida’s governor proposed a $2,500 pay raisefor teachers, and an increase in K-12 education funding, all thanks to the state’s growingsurplus. Sure makes any winter-dessicated Calvin Coolidge Vermonter jealous for Flori-da’s sun, sand, surf and surplus.

In response to last week’s first-round House vote on raising the statewide property tax,Gov. Shumlin told reporters that voters on Town Meeting Day need to send “a clear mes-sage to school boards and to their local communities that we’ve got to find ways to curbunsustainable costs of education in our state.” Will the voters do as the governor hassuggested? Let’s hope so, before it’s too late to dig out of our fiscal mess.

Lou Varricchio

It’s appropriate that I draft this col-umn flying at 10,000 feet while cross-ing this beautiful country of ours, on

a quick overnight trip to Las Vegas for apublishers’ meeting. As I peer out the win-dow, I ponder what our elected officialswill do in the coming week with the March1 Sequester deadline.

For all of our sakes, I hope they’veworked out a compromise to put thecountry on a correction course to beginaddressing our ever-rising debt load.

From this publisher ’s perspective, hereare my recommendations to those whoultimately are suppose to be running thiscountry and looking out for our best in-terest and the generations to come.

Mr. President, you won the election.You’ve no further need to keep cam-paigning. It’s time to govern. I know youthink you’ve got the upper hand over thebumbling Republicans, and perhapsyou’re thinking this an opportune time tobring them to their knees. Mr. President,please take a lesson from President Lin-coln. He and Gen. Grant understood weare all Americans, and standing on theneck of the South would not heal thewounds of the Union. It was time to uniteand rebuild. Mr. President it’s withinyour reach to be the “Great Uniter” or the“Great Divider.” This nation needs tocome together. Please use your reelectionand your skills as a community organizerto be the ultimate nation organizer. Reachout to the opposition and embrace themas you’ve embraced your own party. Useyour powerful office to unite and bringus all into the new future this country sodesperately needs now.

Mr. Boehner, as Speaker of the Houseit’s within your power to lead your partyand the nation. Current public opinion ofthe Republican-led house is at an all-timelow. If you can lead, you have nowhere togo but up. If you can’t lead the Houseand this nation to anything more thanjust further gridlock, then perhaps it’stime to step down and let a new leaderseek solutions that enhance the party’sstanding and inspire the party faithful.The nation and the economy need an op-timistic outlook. We need to restore na-tional pride. We need to put a new lusteron America’s world imagine. The worldneeds American leadership now perhaps

more thanever, but ifwe can’tsolve ourown prob-lems, howwill we re-alisticallymeet themany chal-lenges thatlie on theworld agenda?

Mr. Reed, you and your colleaguesmust lead the Senate to be the catalystthe brings the speaker and president to-gether. It’s not an easy job but certainlymore rewarding than presiding over abody that has accomplished little sinceyou’ve taken control of the Senate.

America, red states and blue states, wehave a choice. We can continue to driveour elected officials to even greater formsof divisiveness and destroy this countryfor future generations or we can wake upand smell what we’ve been brewing andstart sending the message of national uni-ty that gives our elected officials thegreen light to move to common ground.It’s time to end this economic nightmareand recognize we’ve each got far more tolose than we’ll ever gain if we keep thecountry going in the current direction.

We need less political cover and parti-san rhetoric than we’re currently gettingfrom harebrain stunts like the Sequester,where both parties sign on then blamethe other side for its devastating effects.It was always nothing more than afaçade, designed to give both parties cov-er during the election cycle. If both par-ties could sign on to that goofy plan asthe best way to govern, just think what’snext if we don’t demand they set a newcourse now.

It’s time for a new national quest … aUnited States quest to rediscover thepromise and opportunity we owe futuregenerations. Let’s start solving these is-sues now before it’s too late. We can dothis. It won’t be easy, but every day wewait to start turning things around willmake it that much more painful.

LUDLOW — Despite the fact that 123 years have passedsince President Calvin Coolidge graduated from Black RiverAcademy, most folks are sure he’d still recognize his highschool alma mater. They're also sure he’d approve of the re-cent improvements made to the classic brick edifice, built in1888, which now serves as an award-winning local historymuseum.

Recently, board members of the Black River Academy Mu-seum voted to name the new museum’s new elevator and firestairs tower for Richard B. Nye.

Nye envisioned the museum’s new tower over ten yearsago.

“Richard had the foresight to realize that the museumneeded to be accessible to everyone with an elevator andground floor entrance,” according to Anita Alic, BRAM’sCapital Campaign chairwoman. “Ten years ago he urged theboard to start a capital campaign for an elevator, housed ina separate tower in order to maintain the integrity of the mu-seum’s interior and to house the fire code mandated secondegress.”

In 2007, Alic said, Nye made a $100,000 donation and im-mediately challenged the board to raise the rest of the moneyfor the tower.

“Richard inspired us all” said Alic, “and continued to doso right through the successful completion of the campaignand the tower last year.”

The tower and fire stairs were completed in 2011 and theelevator was installed in 2012. A ribbon cutting ceremonytook place last June. Nye was the first person to ride the el-evator to the top.

“We are pleased to name the tower for such a generousperson,” Alic noted.

Vergennes needs new police stationLast summer, while Vergennes Opera House patrons waited in line to purchase tickets

to an event in the downstairs atrium, a Vergennes police officer entered with two peoplein handcuffs and passed by the line of anxious people to enter the office.

The fact that Vergennes needs a new police station should come as no surprise to anycity resident and the above incident shows many reasons why.

The police officer was forced to bring suspects in through a public entrance, potential-ly impacting public safety. The suspects’ right to privacy was impacted. Once in the po-lice office, there was no place to separate two people in separate holding areas.

If a potential witness or complainant accompanied the officer, he or she would need topass a line of curious people then potentially face the accused. The cramped, clutteredquarters our police force occupies is simply not acceptable for effective law enforcement.

The Vergennes City Council, with the help of consultants, City Manager Mel Hawleyand Vergennes P.D. Chief George Merkel, has offered a no-frills design for a new policestation that will serve the current and future requirements of our busy and dedicated po-lice force. The new station design provides improved safety for the public and our po-lice officers, protects the privacy of suspects and the public, fulfills requirements for sep-aration of juvenile and adult offenders and allows for expanded record keeping and ev-idence processing.

There has been reasonable concern about the size and scope of the planned facility. Thestation planning committee (Renny Perry, Randall Ouellette, Ziggy Comeau, and Chris-tine Collette) and the Council have listened to these concerns and feel we have a final de-sign that balances the requirements of a modern police force with the valid apprehen-sions about cost.

As with any investment, people should expect reasonable value in return. In our opin-ion, the new station provides that value for our community.

A well designed, municipal police building will provide an anchor for our newly des-ignated Northern Gateway district.

An effective police department will provide improved public safety which is shown tohelp maintain property values. The bond issue for $1,850,000 will increase the tax rateby 6.5 cents. Operating costs for the new station will have to be included in the city budg-et. The Vergennes City Council has reviewed options that may reduce this increase by apenny or two.

If the increase were 6.0 cents, the taxes on a property assessed at $200,000 would in-crease by $120, or 33 cents a day, in year 2 with no further increase in taxes. Income sen-sitivity would cap tax increases for those that qualify.

It is important to note, that even with the estimated additional increase on our munic-ipal tax rate, Vergennes is still well below the tax rates of Middlebury, St. Albans, New-port, Springfield, and most other “full service” municipalities in Vermont.

The Vergennes Police force is so much more than law and order. Public forums have informed people about issues facing our community and helped

form a proactive attitude. The presence of officers at VUHS and the formation of a po-lice explorer ’s program have helped engender a positive image for our department.

It is now time for Vergennes residents to provide our police department with the facil-ities they need to serve our community effectively.

Talk with a council member or police officer if you have questions or comments aboutthe station bond issue, attend the public meeting on Feb. 26 and please vote on TownMeeting Day.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – Middlebury College has completedthe installation of snowmaking equipment on five kilome-ters of trails at the Rikert Nordic Center, a 50-kilometercross-country skiing area in Ripton, Vt., owned and operat-ed by the college.

The new, $850,000 snowmaking system will extend thecross-country skiing season and all-but-ensure that therewill be snow when the college hosts the NCAA skiing cham-pionships in March.

While snowmaking is commonplace at many of New Eng-land’s alpine skiing areas, it is less of an everyday occur-rence at Nordic centers.

“Rikert now has the most extensive snowmaking systemof its type among all of the Nordic centers in North Ameri-ca,” said Mike Hussey, director of the Rikert Nordic Center.Other cross-country ski areas have the equipment and theknow-how to make their own snow, but Rikert’s five kilome-ters of coverage – the equivalent of about 3.1 miles – is themost extensive coverage in the Northeast, Hussey said.

Rikert Nordic Center now has 20 “snowguns” manufac-tured by HKD Snowmakers of Natick, Mass., to make its

snow. At full capacity Rikert’s snowmaking system uses upto 250 gallons of water per minute. For comparison purpos-es, Hussey estimated that a major alpine ski area such asKillington pumps about 10,000 gallons of water per minute.At 250 gallons per minute, the staff at Rikert can produceenough snow to cover five kilometers of trail in about 200hours’ time.

The system designed by Sno.Matic Controls and Engineer-ing of Lyme, N.H., pumps compressed air and pressurizedwater through above-ground lines to each of Rikert’s move-able snowguns. As long as the temperature is below 32 de-grees F. and the humidity is low enough, compressed airmixed with water droplets at the head of a modern snowgunwill produce ice crystals, or man-made snow. And once aportion of trail has been covered sufficiently, the apparatusis moved to another section of trail while the staff groomsthe newly made snow.

The acquisition of a snowmaking system at Rikert wasmade possible by the generosity of Middlebury alumnusJohn Tormondsen and his family. A former first-team All-American Nordic skier and member of the Class of 1982, Tor-

mondsen serves on the college’s board of trustees.Prior to the winter of 2011-12, the college completed con-

struction of a five-kilometer trail that was certified by theFédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) as a “homologated”race course. In order to be certified, the trail had to meet FISstandards for width, climb levels and total elevation. Rik-ert’s new snowmaking capacity covers the FIS-certifiedcourse, which has been newly named the Tormondsen Fam-ily Race Trail.

Hussey, Rikert’s director, said snowmaking should in-crease the Nordic center ’s number of skier days and serve asa “tremendous benefit” to the Addison County region.

“The real value of this system is to be able to make snowin the early portion of the season, to give skiers an early startand get them excited about cross-country skiing,” Husseysaid.

“In this region, we have world-class lodging, restaurantsand arts and culture, but most of our businesses and insti-tutions are underutilized in the winter. Now that we havestate-of-the-art snowmaking on our FIS-certified course, weshould see more skier days at Rikert each winter and morebusiness generated in the community.”

To date, the college has raised $600,000 toward the$850,000 cost of snowmaking at Rikert. Fund raisers areworking to raise the remaining $250,000 before the end ofthe 2012-2013 ski season.

VERGENNES — A famous quote, attributed to a longdead Greek philosopher, is often mentioned when talkingabout the impact of teachers: “Teachers can open the doorbut it's your choice whether to walk through or not.”

In the case of St. Michael’s College freshman Nick Paquin,and a graduate of Vergennes High School, he walkedthrough an open door that VUHS educator Sarah Thompsonopened for him a few years ago.

Vergennes Union High School teacher Sarah Thompson ofCharlotte was selected as an “Unsung Hero” in the SaintMichael's College Teacher Recognition Program.

Thompson was nominated by Paquin who never forgetthe high school teacher.

Paquin said, “I believe Ms. Thompson should get thisaward because she always went out of her way to help methrough my studies. She was there to help me with any prob-lem I ever had. She was like a really cool mom or guardian.Not to mention she is one of the nicest people I've ever met.She truly deserves this award...”

Thompson thanked the former VUHS student and saidthere were many good teachers at VUHS.

“We feel very fortunate to have Nick Paquin as a memberof our campus community," Flanagan said. “I hope that thebest and brightest from Vergennes Union High School willcontinue to come to Saint Michael's College.”

“The Solar Center at Rutland Regional isa big step toward fulfilling our commitmentto make Rutland the center of solar develop-ment in Vermont and New England,” saidSteve Costello, GMP’s vice president forgeneration and energy innovation. “We’rebuilding momentum with each project, andare optimistic that several other projects willbe announced in the next few months.”

The solar center will be built on RutlandRegional property surrounding twostormwater retention ponds just south ofAllen Street, adjacent to the hospital’s walk-ing path. “There is little potential for otheruses of that corner of the property, so we seethis as a great way to put it into productiveuse,” said Mary Nemeth, Rutland Regional’svice president for corporate support servic-es.

GMP, which will own and maintain the so-lar center, will put it out to bid this month.Under a 25-year lease agreement with Rut-land Regional, GMP will credit the hospitalfor 10 percent of the project’s output. The re-maining energy will go onto the local elec-tric grid and will be consumed by local GMPcustomers.

“This is a low-risk way for Rutland Re-gional to gather a lot of first-hand knowl-edge about solar while helping move the So-lar Capital initiative forward,” Costellosaid. “We’re hopeful that the Rutland Re-gional Solar Center agreement, which ismodeled after the Stafford Hill agreementwith the City of Rutland, will serve as amodel for others interested in developingsolar in a collaborative manner.”

The solar center will be GMP’s third in thecity of Rutland, part of the company’s prom-ise to make Rutland the Solar Capital of NewEngland, with the highest solar reliance percapita of any city in the region.

GMP already operates the Creek Path So-lar Farm, purchased a majority interest inthe solar farm on the former Poor Farm offWoodstock Avenue, and is in the planningstages for the Stafford Hill Solar Farm on aformer city landfill. Depending on engineer-ing studies, that project has potential to bethe largest in the state, at 2.3 megawatts ormore. GMP is also talking with numerous so-lar developers about other potential projectsin the city.

Pending approval by the Public ServiceBoard, GMP and Rutland Regional hope tobreak ground this spring. “We hope to be upand running in June to take advantage of thestrong summer sun,” Huebner said.
