Lake Champlain bridge opening in questionBy Fred [email protected]

CROWN POINT — Will the newChamplain Bridge open as sched-uled Oct. 9?

No one seems to know.“We are currently in discussions

with the contractor to see what im-pact the spring weather and flood-ing has had on constr uction anddetermine when the bridge will beopened to traf fic,” said Car olBreen, senior public informationofficer with the New York State De-partment of Transportation.

She declined to offer an openingdate.

DOT officials have insisted the

bridge pr oject is on sched ule, de-spite granting the contractor a 65-day extension to its pr oject sched-ule in March.

Flatiron Constr uctors ofLafayette, Colo., is building thespan. It was the low-bidder at$69.6 million.

Flatiron is under contract tobuild the new span within 500 daysof gr oundbreaking. The contractincludes a pr ovision r equiringFlatiron to absorb the costs of theadjacent, temporary ferry service— about $30,000 a day — for everyday beyond the 500-day limit. Thecontract also pr ovides a financialincentive — up to $1.5 million —

for Flatiron to complete the work in less than500 days.

While the opening date seems uncertain,work is continuing. The str ucture is takingshape between Cr own Point and Addison,Vt.

“In terms of constr uction, we have com-pleted assembly of the center arch span andare installing support cables and lighting onthe arch,” Breen said. “We are pouring con-crete decks on both the V ermont and NewYork sides of the bridge.”

At the same time the bridge ar ch is being

constructed on barges in Port Henry and willbe floated to the str ucture later this month,Breen said.

“We’re planning to lift the arch into placelate this month,” she said. “The process willtake two days. First, the arch will be loadedonto bar ges at V alez Marine and floateddown the lake to the bridge site. A safe zonewill be established ar ound the ar ch bar gesduring the transport, but the lake will not beclosed. The ar ch will then have to be con-nected to lifting cables. The actual lift willoccur on the second day and is expected totake between 12 and 18 hours. The mainnavigational channel under the bridge willbe closed during the lift.”

The 30-foot-wide bridge will be based ona modified network arch design and will in-clude bike paths and pedestrian walkwayson both sides.

There may not be a definite date for thebridge to open, but a local group is proceed-ing with plans for a celebration Oct. 15 and16 to mark the occasion. The Lake Cham-plain Bridge Coalition offered plans a seriesof events to celebrate the new span acr ossthe lake.

There ar e plans for a parade acr oss thebridge, a str eet dance, a 5-kilometer r oadrace, fireworks, a boat flotilla led by the LoisMcClure and a visit fr om an Army Black-hawk helicopter.

The Lake Champlain Bridge was immedi-ately closed in October 2009 when statetransportation of ficials, without warning,declared it unsafe. The bridge served about3,000 vehicles a day , meaning people whoused the bridge daily to r each their jobs,health care facilities, grocery stores and oth-er necessities wer e for ced to take detourslasting up to four hours. The closing led tothe closure of businesses on both sides of thelake and crippled tourism.

A temporary ferry service now linksCrown Point and Addison, Vt.

The bridge was demolished in December2009 and constr uction started on a newbridge in June 2010.

Last week, I stepped foot on the magnificent Addi-son County Fairgrounds for half-a-minute and Ifound myself engaged in conversation with a pret-

ty as an early-August-sunset young gal from Middlebury(she now lives in Tokyo). She’s with her daughter who—Iguess—is age 3 or so. The gal notices my humor booksstacked on the merchandise table and mentions a Loggercolumn of mine that she read in the Addison Eagle news-paper recently. “It was about teeth,” she said with a smile.

I ask her what the average height of people are inTokyo, (a little taller then her — she’s not too tall) andhow crowded it feels in the city, (not too crowded) and ifthe Japanese food there is much different then what we getfor Japanese food here (yes, much better)?

Our chat saves me a trip to Tokyo. She is lovely. I hopeshe and her family live well. I hope she succeeds. Shehopes I succeed.

Not three beats after she and her child walk away, thezucchini-bread lady turns up in front of my booth.

Mrs. Zucchini Bread’s husband trails, toting the family’sField Days survival pack. I could riff to a comedic effect onits contents, but your guess is as good as mine as to whatit contains. In 60 seconds, she, me, and her hubby catch upon the past year.

The zucchini-bread lady bakes me several loaves of zuc-chini bread every year during fair week. This year, I seeshe’s using a cane to walk. She holds it up to accent herexplanation. “I had an operation on my foot,” she said. Shetells me the tendons in her toes froze up and they went inand cut them. The progression to pain-free walking hasbeen slow, but she’s gaining strength. She’ll deliver theloaves tomorrow. What a very nice gesture. I hope she and

her hubby live well and seemany more Addison Countyfairs. I hope they succeed;they hope I succeed.

Two brothers in their early40s stop by— Vermontersthey are.

One of the brothers sug-ars, “Just for fun.” He makes10 gallons. Gives it away. Wetalk sugarin’ a bit. No muchto talk about because whohasn’t already talked enoughabout sugarin’? The otherbrother didn’t say what hedoes for fun. I hope whatever it is he likes it. I hope theVermonter brothers succeed; they hope I succeed.

Been listening to a good amount of radio during my 90-minute drives back and forth to the magnificent AddisonCounty Fair and Field Days. Been listening to Republicans,Democrats, Progressives, Libertarians, and Tea Partiers.Been listening to senators, and a congressman, plus formerand present presidents, and house speakers.

I hope they all succeed; they all hope I succeed. But, notif it means I succeed directly on account of something theircolleague has done to help me succeed. And that’s theproblem. Period.

Ihave always had mixed feelingsabout unions. On the one hand, myworking-class immigrant grandpar-

ents benefited somewhat under the protec-tion of labor unions. And during the abusesof the Industrial Age, unions seemed likethe only way labor could fend off the pre-dations of greedy owners and bosses.

On the other hand, my opinion of unionsis evolving as I watch the outrageous pub-lic behavior of unionized teachers in theWisconsin capitol building or public unionofficials refusing to budge on overly sweet-ened benefit packages that the taxpayers—you and me—have to finance.

Now, I see union greed as at least asmuch a part of our national economic prob-lem as good old-fashioned business greed.

Business and sales consultant and best-selling author Nathan Jamail recently saidthat if you see a Made in China imprint on aproduct you buy, “don’t blame the manu-facturer, store, or even your government.You need to blame the unions.” He notesthe union flap over Boeing’s attempt tobuild a new jet aircraft in mostly non-unionzed South Carolina, a “right to work”state. As a result of union attempts to stopthe project, China may end up getting thejobs.

I have read Jamail’s writings in recentmonths and I must admit I agree with aportion of the argument he makes regard-ing unions and their impact on both theprivate and public sectors.

Jamail believes that unions are the mainreason companies set up shop overseas inorder to manufacture products and provideservices. I am not sure I see this problem inthe same black-and-white way as he does,but it’s a persuasive working theory.

Jamail contends that good employeesdon’t need a union to help them keep theirjobs or get promoted.

When an employee becomes a member ofthe union, he contends, they are lumped in

with all the other employees includingthose that could care less about their jobs.Jamail’s conclusion is that unions promotesubstandard performance and foster a feel-ing of entitlement—such as the expectationof automatic pay increases, promotions,and more benefits, etc.

“These people are looking for handoutsand think everybody owes them some-thing. Here is a news flash for those people:no one owes you anything. If you wantsomething you need to go out and earn it.Those that feel they are owed more thanthey get should go find it,” Jamail said.

Some readers may not agree with Jamailon this subject, but he honestly believesthat if you feel you need union representa-tion at your workplace, you probably don’tneed a union representative—you need anew job.

Perpetuating or protecting yourself on alousy job by making demands on your em-ployer will not make you or your employerhappy, he said. In fact, such antagonismsonly create mistrust and a whole host ofwork-related problems. The root problem isfear. Fear of losing a job you probably don’teven like.

I may not agree with all of Jamail’s criti-cisms of unions, but I do concur with hisoverall premise—that of finding meaningand happiness through work.

“Life is too short to be miserable. Don’tlet fear or frustration on the job controlyour decisions.” Jamail said. In short, behappy in what you do.

So, don’t let the current economy be anexcuse to feel miserable or remain stub-born. We all know that things will turnaround; happy days will be here, again.

Your next job may be one you createyourself.

Life, unions, and thepursuit of happiness

Classrooms as profit centersMore recent class-

room visitorsthan I can con-

firm—whether the time-honored teachings aboutdifferent models for historiccivilizations or market-based—are still being pre-sented to today’s students.

Some recent anthropologybooks have made the argu-ment that the natural optionfor primates turns out to betrade-based. We two-leggedtypes have inherited thegenes and wiring for tradeand barter from the not-quite-two-leggedchimpanzees and orangutans, who practiceit skillfully (even though they have no FairTrade Commissions).

This is the basis of a whole new researchfield known as economic anthropology.

It’s generally considered that the con-temporary U.S. civilization is predomi-nantly market-based, a condition generallyapplauded on the R side of the hall (a littleFrench Revolution governance lingo, there)and deplored on the L side, and it’s simi-

larly generally consideredthat some of the major en-thusiasts for expanded gov-ernance are the least mar-ket-solution–oriented.

That’s why it typicallycomes as a bit of a shockwhen folks in public educa-tion turn out to be just aswhat’s-in-it-for-me as therest of us. One example isthe famous Albert Shankerone-liner.

While president of theUnited Federation of Teach-ers, a NYC K-12 union,

Shanker made this comment about hisleadership goals: “When schoolchildrenstart paying union dues, that’s when I’llstart representing the interests of school-children.”

Shanker ’s comments were made duringthe early ‘70s, according to the “ShankerBlog” (an online page which devotes con-siderable effort to a semi-denial of thewidely-referenced—you can guess why—quote sometimes dated to 1985).

FERRISBURGH — State detectives, after r eviewing theautopsy report, have determined that Rene Viau, 46, of Fer-risburgh, died fr om injuries sustained after he fell over-board on July 23 during a boating incident on Lake Cham-plain between Kellogg and Porter Bays, near Ferrisburgh.

CVPS okays new power dealsRUTLAND — Central V ermont Public Service has

TICONDEROGA, NY —Lowe’s hasclosed its Ticonderoga store.

The national home improvement chainmade no public announcement, butfailed to open for business Monday, Aug.15. Calls to the store were answered withan automated message, “Sorry, this loca-tion is permanently closed.”

Ticonderoga Supervisor Deb Malaneysaid she heard of the closing the night be-fore, although she never received formalnotice from Lowe’s.

“I had no heads up whatsoever ,”Malaney said. “It’s r eally a setback forus.”

Lowe’s opened it store in Ticonderoga

on Feb. 27, 2009.The $12 million stor e was located at

1092 Wicker St. It had 102,000 square feetof space and stocked 32,000 items.

“They had hur dles all the way ,”Malaney said of Lowe’s. “They had is-sues with the APA (Adir ondack ParkAgency) and then the bridge closed rightafter they opened.”

The Lake Champlain Bridge wasclosed in October 2009 when state trans-portation officials, without warning, de-clared it unsafe. The bridge served about3,000 vehicles a day, meaning people whoused the bridge daily to reach their jobs,health care facilities, gr ocery stores andother necessities were forced to take de-tours lasting up to four hours. That clo-sure limited business with Vermont cus-tomers.


Lt. governorfrom page 1

“We’re honored by Lt. Gov. Scott’s willingness to visit withus. I hope he will come away from the visit with a better un-derstanding of how fr ee community newspapers work aswell as how we serve the community at no cost to r eaders.Like it or not, many folks don’t want to pay for their news-papers anymore, so advertising-paid free local papers are themodel for the future,” Varricchio said. “This is not unlike get-ting your news via AM-FM radio, network television, and theInternet. We also hope the lieutenant governor will comeaway with a better understanding of the economic challengesfacing some of our local advertisers.”

Harrisfrom page 4

Shanker ’s quote is widely referenced because educationis primus inter pares on a list of those institutions which de-clare themselves to be above “mere profit” and quite supe-rior to the surrounding society of crass materialists. Thatbackground explains why a reemergence of the Shankermindset has been accorded little coverage by the main-stream media (MSM): it doesn’t fit the desired image tem-plate.

Only the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) saw fit to report onrecent goings-on in the Douglas County School District,described as “a suburban district south of Denver… one ofthe most affluent in the U.S., with household income near-ly double the national median, [with k-12] schools rankedamong the best in Colorado.”

Such reportage helps explains why the Journal is thesole MSM print outlet with increasing circulation, adver-tising revenues, and corporate profits, but that’s only theancillary point here.

The main point here is that the Douglas County SchoolDistrict has invented a new profit center for itself: it pro-poses (final approval by Denver will be required) to modi-fy the ancient capitalist practice of arbitrage to maximizenet earnings.

It proposes to do so via an unexpected route: in an in-dustry almost uniformly opposed to the voucher principle(whereby per-pupil state level taxpayer-sourced fundingfollows the student to pay for his education pretty much atthe school of his parents’ choice) the Douglas County edu-

crats propose to embrace vouchers. Specifically, they propose to “offshore” (a little mercan-

tile lingo, there) students who so wish to their non-publicschool of choice, and pay the tuition for them.

Since the tuition is invariably lower than the per-pupilstipend coming to Douglas County from Colorado taxpay-ers via the State Tax Department, the County will keep thedifference. Here’s how Journal reportrix Stephanie Simonexplains the program sold to County School Commission-ers by Superintendrix Elizabeth Celania-Fagen: “Normally,most voucher programs are run by States. Qualified stu-dents receive a voucher that is accepted as full payment atlocal private schools. Douglas County does it differently,acting as middleman between state and student and takinga cut.

The state sends the district $6,100 per pupil; the districtforwards 75 percent to each voucher recipient and keepsthe rest. Even after administrative costs, the District ex-pects to make what amounts to a profit of $400,000 thisyear on the 500 students in its pilot program. That moneywill be used to ‘provide services to the students that areleft behind in the regular schools,’ District spokesmanRandy Barber said.”

The WSJ piece makes only tangential references to theusual criticism of such programs, that they skim off thebetter students and leave the remainder with fewer profi-ciency-seeking classmates to emulate, but it does note that“…most private schools won’t accept disabled or strug-gling students…” and leaves the obvious conclusion toreaders.

As befits an opinion column, here’s your Humble

Scribe’s opinion: the Douglas County School District edu-crats wouldn’t make “proficient” in their foray into capi-talism, because they’ve mistaken a short-term profit for alonger-term loss.

They’d have done better to provide a few of the intellec-tual goodies their better students are hungry and are leav-ing for—because, if their supposed goal is proficiency-for-all, the worst route to that end is the one of exporting thebest scholars and leaving the Students Who Won’t Learn(SWWL)- dominated remainder to sit in classrooms wherethey never get to observe and emulate their better-motivat-ed peers at the chalkboard.

As this column has attempted to illustrate in recent pre-sentations, the literature increasingly recognizes that al-most all students can master the material if they want to,and when some SWWL don’t, it’s because they don’t wantto.

Advocates of socio-economic-status “integration” in theclassroom make precisely this point: that better students,in the real world of peer pressure, are the key element inmotivating their inadequately motivated seatmates. Whenthey’re gone, they’re gone.

Douglas County, Colo., should be figuring out how tokeep the intellectually ambitious at home, not selling themfor the Biblical (Josephian) 20 pieces of silver. They shouldbe recalling the best parts of the magnet-school concept,aimed precisely at preventing middle-class flight, whiteand black, from urban districts, and not the ineptness-of-management reasons for its widespread failure.
