Stimulusfunds atwork alongU.S. Route 7

By Lou [email protected]

Motorists are likely to rememberthe late, great summer of 2010 asmuch by its soaring temperaturesover 90 degrees as by its tortoise-likehighway traffic patterns. In the caseof stop-and-go traffic, blame it onseveral high-profile highway andbridge construction projects aroundthe region.

While the Lake Champlain Bridgeproject may have received the mostcoverage by news media, there areother transportation-related con-struction jobs—such as the U.S.Route 7 Pittsford-Brandon corridorand the Route 125/Green MountainNational Forest projects—that likelyaffected a larger volume of localdrivers.

For commuters along U.S. Route 7in northern Rutland County, thesummer just ended was a silly sea-son of traffic delays and clouds ofdust along the northern RutlandCounty corridor.

The project, still underway, wasdesigned to improve pedestrian andvehicular safety as well as to en-hance mobility along Route 7through Pittsford and Brandon.

According to VTrans, the workarea encompasses rural and townsettings from Pittsford to approxi-mately 0.1 mile south of the Brandontown line. The total project length isnearly 12 miles.

While millions are being spent onRoute 7 alone this year, the highwaynever seems to get the kinds of up-grades most daily drivers would liketo see—that is, extended passinglanes, increased highway speeds,and bypasses around congesteddowntown areas.

We asked John Zicconi, director ofplanning, outreach, and communityaffairs for the Vermont Agency ofTransportation, several questionsabout the financing and progress ofthe Brandon project as well as the fu-ture viability of Route 7.

Eagle: What is the estimated totalcost of the Brandon/Route 7 phase of theproject? When will it be completed?

Pumpkin cider? Yesand only in Vermont!

During Earth Week this year, Woodchuck Draft Cider launched a Facebook GlobalReLeaf campaign. Collaborating with their nationwide, eco-friendly fan base, Wood-chuck donated a tree for every Facebook fan. Nearly 2,000 fans joined existing fanson Facebook to help with the campaign. Now the Middlebury company is making itsfirst-ever pumpkin cider.

Several prominent Ver-mont environmentalists, in-cluding Middlebury Col-lege’s Bill McKibben, werein the forefront of a con-triversial U.S. 2007 energyindependenct/climatechange bill. The bill champi-oned the use of compact flu-orescent lights, or CFLs,over incandescent bulbs—but now another U.S. Housebill may repeal the “ban” onthe Edison light bulb and re-turn exported jobs to theU.S.

Three U.S. representativeshave introduced H.R. 6144,the Better Use of Light BulbsAct or BULB.

The BULB Act repealsSubtitle B of Title III of theEnergy Independence andSecurity Act of 2007, whichis a de facto ban on the in-candescent light bulb that

has its origins in ThomasAlva Edison’s laboratory.

•Most CFLs are not man-ufactured in the U.S. A re-cent Washington Post storyreported that GE is shutter-ing a plant in Winchester,Va., ending 200 jobs in theprocess.

•CFLs contain the heavymetal mercury and have tobe disposed of carefully. Theamount of mercury in onebulb is enough to contami-nate up to 6,000 gallons ofwater beyond safe drinkinglevels. The EPA recommendsan elaborate cleanup ritual,including throwing awayany clothes or bedding thathas come in direct contactwith the mercury from thebulb.

•CFLs are not designed tobe turned off and on fre-quently; the lifespan of aCFL may be reduced by up to85 percent if you switch it offand on a lot.

•People with certainhealth conditions can beharmed by CFLs. Reactionsrange from disabling

eczema-like reactions, tolight sensitivities that hasbeen claimed to lead to skincancer.

•The Energy Star pro-gram warns that CFLs canoverheat and smoke gasesincluding mercury vapor.

VSP help Shelburne P.D. in auto theft in Monkton

Let’s see, what isthere to talk aboutthis week?

Lady Gaga wore a dressmade of meat at an awardsshow. Her shoes were madeof meat, too. Had a meat haton. Seemed odd—then I re-membered I eat meat.

Brian Dubie and PeterShumlin had their first de-bate. Many more debates tocome. I think there shouldbe only one debate and nocommercials or factorywalks or county fair or school visits. In the voting booth,beneath a photo of each guy, there should be 10 one sen-tence descriptions of things they’ll do as governor. Readthem and choose. That’s it.

I have 20 t-shirts. I wear two. I don’t buy t-shirts. I taket-shirts to the thrift store. T-shirts, t-shirts, t-shirts. Need at-shirt? There are so many t-shirts.

Do kids notice subtleties of season? I don’t remembernoticing. I wish I did. I only noticed big things. My dad,school buses, Mrs. Marsh. For kids, it’s Fourth of July, Hal-loween, Thanksgiving, Christmas—connected by more ofthe same. Nice adults notice subtleties or time would passeven faster, if that’s even possible.

When you arrive at a house that has dogs that bark asyou arrive, the owners chide the dogs in a tone that sug-gests they’re surprised the dogs are barking. When thathappens, I think it’s the first time the dogs barked whensomeone arrived.

My cat sits looking up at the door to my hall closet forlong stretches of time. She sits there, looking up at thedoor. She’s still alive. Curiosity didn’t kill the cat. Her kid-neys will. Curiosity made the cat fun to own.

The first few times I visit the bathroom after I’ve eatenbeets, my urine is colored red. When I eat asparagus myurine gives off a pungent odor. I have a sweet tooth andsometimes for a late-night snack I’ll gobble several marsh-mallows. After, when I visit the bathroom, I see mini-marshmallows. Well—not really, but wouldn’t that be fun?

A man called a radio show and described a politician asbeing “smart as a tack”—“that’s ‘sharp’.” I whispered tomyself. Did the show’s host correct the guy? No. Why not?I think the guy would want to know.

Last year, a local guy put razorblades in a Halloween ap-ple. The kid that got it wasn’t hurt. He noticed the handlesticking out before he bit in. I don’t think they make thekind of razorblades these nut cases used to put in kidsHalloween apples. That’s the good thing about these days.

Until “The Waltons” becomes required viewing for highschool-aged kids, I think I’d home school.

“There may be trouble ahead... Soon we’ll be without theMoon. Humming a different tune, and then...”

Last week, I was listening to an old vinyl recordwith Fred Astaire singing the Irving Berlin song,“There May Be Trouble Ahead”. A few of the

lyrics—repeated above—got me thinking about what theEarth would be like without the Moon.

This intriguing question isn’t just a fanciful “what if”exercise, but an inquiry into what makes our planet such aunique place in our solar system. Raytheon astronomerStan Odenwald—founder of the Internet’s popular Astron-omycafe.net—tackled the problem of a Moonless Earth; hecame up with some intriguing possibilities.

First, let’s look at tides. Without Luna, Earth would stillhave high and low tides thanks to the Sun, but these tideswould be half as high as lunar high and low tides. Springtides (or Neap tides) would disappear since both the Sunand the Moon—on opposite sides of the Earth or on thesame side—create these effects. However, large coastalbreakers, familiar to residents of California and Oregon,would still occur thanks to the effects of Earth’s rotationand maritime storms.

When it comes to time-keeping, there’d be no need tokeep a 12-month calendar without the Moon, said Oden-wald. Also, take away the influence of Luna’s gravityupon Earth and fewer volcanoes might have been createdduring our planet’s long geological history. This problem,with reduced out gassing from volcanoes, might have re-duced the density, and perhaps the complex composition,of the terrestrial atmosphere. Such an effect might have re-duced or even eliminated the chance of life arising early inthe Earth’s history.

Would the lack of a moon near Earth also have prevent-ed continental drift? Odenwald asked. Probably not, heconcluded, since convection of molten materials deepwithin the Earth’s mantle is the result of internal forcesnot lunar forces.

One intriguing effect of a Moonless planet Earth, Oden-wald surmised, would be a world without seasons—or atleast seasons very alien to those we’re used to. Many as-tronomers think the proto Moon was an “interloper”, aplanetary wanderer, which came from elsewhere in spaceand impacted the Earth to form the Moon we know today.If true, then the Earth’s rotation axis—in pre-lunarepochs—could have been tilted perpendicular to the“ecliptic” or plane of the solar system (rather than titled atnearly 24 degrees as it is now).

Without the Moon, sunlight would reach the Earth’s sur-face at the same angle throughout the year. At Vermont’s

latitude, for example, theSun’s rays would strike theground at 45 degrees daily.At both poles, the Sunwould never rise above thehorizon. Thus, at the equatorsummer would continueyear round; at mid-latitudesspring would reign; and athigher latitudes, winterwould continue throughoutthe year.

Such a hodgepodge of seasons would create wild, un-predictable planetwide weather. So, when the Moon re-cedes far from Earth in the distant future, as many as-tronomers believe, there may indeed be trouble ahead.

For years afterward it was called the Vicious Act of'92. Act 20 of 1892 decreed the consolidation of themanifold tiny school districts within most towns

into a single town district. At one stroke it reduced Ver-mont's 2,214 school districts by almost 90 percent.

This was, its critics charged, the death of local control ofpublic education-"local" meaning the neighborhoodaround a school. Eventually the passions of 1892 faded,and citizens came to associate local control with the townschool district, where it remained for a century.

The current assault on local control began in 1997, whena liberal legislature enacted Act 60 at the direction of aSupreme Court informed by bogus history and exulting inwhat even a liberal legal critic described as "a raw exerciseof judicial power."

The most revolutionary and controversial of Act 60'sprovisions was its requirement that all revenues raised lo-cally be shipped to Montpelier, where they would bemixed with state revenues, shifted about, and returned todistricts to meet the Court's mandate of "substantiallyequal access to tax resources."

That broke the historic link between the amount votedby local taxpayers to operate their schools, and the amountof taxes collected for public education. After Act 68 of2003, school districts where voters chose to spend morethan a dollar amount per equalized pupil set by the legis-lature (currently $8,544) would suffer a corresponding in-crease in their legislatively-determined residential educa-tion property tax rate (currently .86 percent). This was ashrewd attempt to maintain some linkage between spend-ing and taxation, but most voters have long since given uptrying to understand how the system works.

The non-financial provisions of Act 60 were every bit assubversive of local control. For years Commissioners ofEducation had asked for more control over public schools,but the legislature was largely unwilling to grant theirpleas. Schools districts were habituated to teacher certifi-cation, union bargaining, financial and educational report-ing, and civil rights and special education rules. But Act 60decreed that the Department could enforce "school qualitystandards", and "standards regulating conditions, practicesand resources". It even gained the power - not yet used - toput a school into receivership.

This year saw another wave of attacks on what was leftof "local control". The legislature passed a bill to encour-age voluntary school district consolidation into "RegionalEducation Districts". It's perfectly clear to everyone, andespecially to the educrats who promoted it, that over timethe multitown REDs will be controlled by the department

and the teachers' union, notby local voters and taxpay-ers. The REDs will becomethe equivalent of multitownwaste management districts.

The second step, presagedby Gov. Douglas' 2010 stateof the state message, will bedepartmental control overpupil-teacher ratios. The leg-islature declined to act onthat recommendation, butspending pressure on the Ed-ucation Fund will likely pro-vide the votes to adopt itwithin a year or two.

The third step came with Challenge for Change. Thismuch-touted process for achieving spending savings as-signed a $23 million cost reduction goal to the Departmentof Education. But the commissioner does not have thepower to force voters of school districts to reduce theirbudgets to meet that goal. The most he can do is contrivedistrict by district reduction targets, and write urgent let-ters pleading with the school boards to plead with the vot-ers to meet his target. This he did on August 4.

Many districts may well achieve an average of 2.34 per-cent in spending reduction this year. Over time, however,the commissioner will acquire the power, either by statuteor by force of his office, to tell school districts the mostthat their schools can spend.

As these steps play out, the Commissioner will issue or-ders to its Regional Education Districts, capping theirpupil-teacher ratios and instructing them on how muchthey are allowed to spend.

Just as local control of subdistrict schools went out withthe Vicious Act of '92, local control as it existed prior to1997 will soon give way to one of two outcomes: eithercomplete state control, or parental control.

The former is the French model, with its nationwide cur-riculum and all-powerful Ministry of Education.

The latter would decentralize "local" down to the familylevel: empowered parents would choose the educationalprogram that they believe is best for their children, andproviders would compete to please them as customers, notsubjects.

John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Insti-tute (www.ethanallen.org).

SUMMER LIGHT—A barn along Hawkins Road is aglow in the fading light of a late summer’s day.Photo by J. Kirk Edwards


The new Cross StreetBridge across Otter Creek indowntown Middlebury isnearly complete. Festivitiesto open the bridge, completewith a Independence Day-like fireworks display, areplanned for late October.

The bridge project beganin April 2009 amid muchfanfare.

The new span was con-ceived as way to reduce traf-fic on the Battell Bridge aswell as on the overstressedPulp Mill Covered Bridge onthe Middlebury-Weybridgetownline. The historic 19th-century covered bridge willbe closed next year for re-pairs; it will likely create itsshare of in-town traffic pret-zels while under construc-tion during the summer of2011.

The two-way Cross StreetBridge will provide a thirdlink across Otter Creek withits multi-use lanes and side-walks that will accomodatemotor vehicles, bicycles andpedestrians. It will also givefire, police and emergency

crews another route to andfrom the downtown area.

While officials assuredvoters that the Cross StreetBridge will reduce trafficvolume on the remainingbridges in town, the spandoes not appear to be offer

the final solution for Mid-dlebury’s increasingly con-gested downtown area.

Short of a bypass aroundthe town—which appearsunlikely, according toVTrans (see this week’s sto-ry “Stimulus funds at work

along U.S. Route 7”)—in-creased U.S. Route 7 auto-motive and truck traffic willcontinue to bollocks up Mid-dlebury’s quaint downtownstreets.

As the effort to “eat local, buy local” continues to grow inpopularity throughout Vermont and beyond, Champlain Or-chards invites Vermonters and fall visitors to experience ap-ples, cider, and local food pairings at the state’s first everCiderFest on Saturday, Oct. 2, 3–7 p.m. at Champlain Or-chards located on Route 74 in Shoreham.

By Charlie Nardozzi & Leonard Perry

Harvesting winter squash and pumpkins, moving peonies,and shredding leaves are some of the gardening activities Ver-monters will be taking care during early autumn.

You can harvest winter squash and pumpkins any time they'remature—that is, when the rinds are too tough to puncture witha thumbnail. Some gardeners wait until a light frost kills backthe vines, to allow the squash as much time as possible to ma-ture.

To harvest, use a knife to cut the stem an inch or two abovethe squash or pumpkin. If you didn’t grow any pumpkins thisyear, visit a local grower or roadside stand. Use them for deco-rating, plain or painted, carved, and for cooking pies and roast-ing seeds.

Any fall weeding you do will reduce your weeding chores inthe spring. Pull weeds before they set seed if they haven’t al-ready, and you eliminate the task of pulling all those littleseedlings. A single weed plant may set hundreds, or even thou-sands, of seeds, so don't delay. Remove tough perennial weedssuch as dandelion and burdock by digging out their roots. Fallweeding is rewarding as the weeds wont grow back this season,as they do during the summer.

Fall is a good time to test your soil's pH or acidity. This is cru-cial to making nutrients available to plants. By adding any nec-essary amendments now, they'll have time to break down overthe winter since they tend to be slow acting. Extension Serviceoffices do soil tests for a nominal fee, and the test results includerecommendations for improving the soil. Most plants prefer aslightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.5 to 6.8 (a pH of 7 is neutral).New England soils tend to be acidic and require the addition of

lime to "sweeten" the soil, or raise the pH.As soon as frost kills back the tops of tender, summer-flower-

ing bulbs, such as dahlias, gladiola, and tuberous begonias, it'stime to dig the bulbs to store indoors over the winter. Gentlybrush the soil from the bulbs, allow them to dry for day or two,then set them in dry peat moss or vermiculite and store them ina cool (40 to 50 degrees F), non-freezing, dark place. Don’t holddahlias too long before storing, or they’ll begin to dry out andshrivel.

Now, too, is the time to plant spring-flowering bulbs such astulips and daffodils.

The American Library Association is on a mission thisweek. The ALA’s mission, supported by public and institu-tional libraries in Vermont and around the nation, states thatthe freedom to choose and express one's opinions—even ifthat opinion might be considered unorthodox or politicallyincorrect—are rights protected under the U.S. Constitution.

Banned Books Week, Sept. 25-Oct. 2, is a national celebra-tion acknowledging American’s freedom to read. The eventwas launched in 1982 in response to the number of what theALA terms “challenges” to books in schools, bookstores andlibraries. More than a thousand books have been challengedsince 1982.

This year, a number of public and college libraries aroundthe area are recognizing Banned Book Week. Many librari-ans are encouraging patrons to check out a banned or chal-lenged book and read it.

According to David Clark, director of the Ilsley Public Li-brary in Middlebury, Banned Books Week is a good time forlibraries to elevate public awareness about the ever presentthreat of censorship.

“The Ilsley Library has set up a display of banned books,”said Clark. “We posted yellow ‘CAUTION’ work-zone flag-ging tape across our banned books display; this will get theattention of our patrons. I think patrons will be very sur-prised at books that have been challenged or banned overthe years.”

Clark mentions banned books written by Mark Twain,James Joyce, Kurt Vonnegut, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison,Harper Lee, Vladmir Nabokov, Ernest Hemingway, Madon-na Louise Ciccone, and others.

Books are often challenged based on sex (Madonna’s 1992coffee-table book “Sex”), race (Helen Bannerman’s chil-dren’s tale “The Story of Little Black Sambo”), religion(Nikos Kazantzaki’s “The Last Temptation of Christ” andSalman Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses”) and politics (RayBradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” and George Orwell’s “1984”).

“In just the past month, several library programs aroundVermont have focused on reading the Koran, a religious textmost recently threatened,” Clark said.

Perhaps the greatest misconception regarding challengesto ban books in the U.S. is that only right wingers are behindbook bans—not true. Left-wingers, have targeted politicalpamplets and books for banning, too.

Book challenges occur in every state. People challengebooks that they say are either too sexual, too violent or notpolitically correct. “They may object to profanity, slang, por-trayals of ethnic, religious and political stereotypes or pos-itive portrayals of homosexuals,” according to the ALA.

According to a recent ALA report on book challenges, 460challenges were reported to the ALA’s Office of IntellectualFreedom in 2009.

In the U.S., Clark noted, children’s books probably get themost attention when it comes to content. Books about witch-

es, demons, vampires—such as “Harry Potter” and “Twi-light” books—and other creatures of myth and legend are of-ten on parent’s minds.

But it may not take a village when it comes to policingcommunity book standards—

“Times have changed. Today, it’s really up to parents tomonitor what their children are reading,” Clark noted. “Andone parent, or one group, can’t be the judge of what the chil-dren of other parents should be reading.”

Vermont public libraries haven’t had much trouble withbanned books, according to Clark. Vermonters appear to bemore tolerant of diverse opinions than elsewhere.

Most Vermont libraries strive to keep the shelves stockedwith books that are of value to the community—from refer-ence to fiction titles—Clark stressed. But sometimes, worksof fiction, even non-fiction, will be offensive to someone.

The freedom to read requires eternal vigilence and en-gaged readers, librarians, booksellers and elected officials.Thankfully, Vermont is blessed with many citizens who caredeeply about the printed word and their right to it.

Bread - that this house may never know hunger.Salt - that life may always have flavor.Wine - that joy and prosperity may reign forever.

— “It’s A Wonderful Life”-1946

In just a few weeks, a lucky families will soon find sever-al comfortable, energy efficient houses to call home in Ver-mont. Addison County Habitat volunteers have built sever-al homes in recent years. In southern Vermont, constructionbegan two months ago on the seventh home built by theGreater Springfield Area Habitat for Humanity organiza-tion.

No tax dollars are ever used in the construction of Habi-tat homes. All construction funds come from tax deductibledonations as well as volunteer labor and building materials.

Habitat homes provide pride, function and safety for fam-ilies in need.

The new house underway in Springfield is a three bed-room, 1.5 bath ranch-style house with an attached garage.The energy efficient design eliminates steps, designed to fitthe needs of a variety of occupants.

When completed, Habitat officials said, the house is ex-pected to achieve a five-star energy efficiency rating. Itsmassive, 8-inch thick walls include the latest in insulatingmaterials.

Unlike many older Vermont houses, several Habitathomes around the state are heated by propane gas. Using agas-heating sources means a big jump in energy efficiency—a 96 percent energy efficiency is expected.In addition to gas,a passive solar energy hot-water system will help lowercosts. In the case of the under-construction Springfieldhome, the solar system was donated and installed by HP En-ergy Solutions of Vermont.

According to Vermont Habitat officials, energy-efficientwindows, greatly increase a house’s practicality on a lowbudget; even doors are installed with efficiency in mind.

Another 21st century design touch in several VermontHabitat houses are air-exchange systems that exhaust staleinterior air and replaces it with fresh outside air. Anotherbonus: heat is extracted from the stale air and used to com-fortable preheat the incoming air.

According to a statement released by the Greater Spring-field Area Habitat for Humanity, “once a family is selected

from the many applications we have received, they will con-tribute 350 sweat equity hours in finishing the home. Whenthe home is finished they will sign a zero percent mortgagefor the cost to build it.”

In some cases, mortgage are often held by a local Habitatchapter; the homeowner will be responsible for mortgage,tax, water/sewer, and insurance payments, as well as all op-erating costs.

Habitat building a new home for a local family

This energy efficient ranch house, built by Habitat for Humanityin Vermont, uses propane and solar energy heating sources; it isalmost ready for a new occupant.

Week three of the high school football season saw Mid-dlebury Union High score a late touchdown to pull out anexciting 18-12 win over visiting Mount Mansfield UnionHigh last Friday night. On Saturday, Mount Abraham UnionHigh broke into the win column in a big way crushing hostMount St. Joseph Academy 40-2. Otter Valley, however,dropped a tough one at home falling to U-32 Union High 20-17.

Middlebury 18, Mount Mansfield 12 Former player, long-time supporter and radio-color com-

mentator for Tiger football broadcasts, Dick Bullock madehis appearance at the Tigers home opener on Friday night—a pleasant surprise for Tiger fans.

Bullock was honored in an emotional pre-game ceremony.Senior quarterback Brendan Burrell and his teammates thencapped the night pulling out the win.

In a game that was tied twice the Tigers took advantage ofa botched punt by Mount Mansfield to set-up the winningscore. Middlebury took the ball over inside the Mount Mans-field 20-yard line, when the Cougar punter was ruled downafter his knee touched the ground as he tried to field a poorsnap.

One play later Burrell fired his second touchdown pass ofthe night hooking up with Dillon Robinson on the 15-yardscoring strike with 18 ticks left on the game clock.

Burrell, who completed 4 of 8 passes for 56 yards, also con-nected with Marshall Hastings on a 17-yard touchdownpass. Hastings also paced the Tiger running game with 10carries for 66 yards.

The Tigers will face another big test this coming Fridaynight as they host 3-0 Champlain Valley Union High.

Mount Abraham 40, MSJ 2The Eagles took control of this one early and never let go

rolling to the win over the host Mounties. Mount Abe started driving 55 yards in five plays on the

opening series. Alex Blodgett capped things off bursting offthe left side of the line and racing 34-yards for the first scoreof the day.

Eagle quarterback Ian Shaw then took over tossing scor-ing strikes of 37 and 80 yards, both to Ethan Heffernan. TheEagles capped a dominate first half with tackle AaronDesabrais, running out of the fullback slot bulling into theend zone from three-yards out to stake Mount Abe to a 27-0lead.

For the half the Eagles racked up 216 yards in total offense,while holding the Mounties to –45.

The domination continued in the second half, even withEagle coach playing several different combinations both onoffense and defense. Mount Abe got a touchdown on a 18-yard scamper from Garrett Cousino at the 9:01 mark of thethird quarter. The Eagles then closed their scoring when sen-ior guard Mark Flowers, who missed a big chunck of last sea-son because of injuries, got his chance at fullback andplowed in from a yard out with 37 ticks left in the third quar-ter.

MSJ avoided the shut-out with a safty late in the fourthquarter. The 1-2 Eagles are back home this Saturday hosingBFA Fairfax.

U-32 20, Otter Valley 17It was Homecoming Weekend at Otter Valley, but the Ot-

ters couldn’t over come an early deficit and fell to the visit-ing Raiders.

Senior tailback Peter Bautista was a bright spot breakingoff scoring jaunts of 98 and 10 yards in rushing for 204 yardson the day.

Unemployedget scammed

As the unemployment rate hovers around 10 percent, theNew England Better Business Bureau warns that scammersare taking advantage of the opportunity by preying on theunemployed. Identifying the common red flags of a scam isone way for job hunters to protect themselves and their wal-let.

According to the Labor Department, new jobless claims inmid-August soared to 500,000, an increase of 12,000 over theprevious week.

“The dismal employment rate means that a lot of peopleare desperate for work and may be grasping for any jobwhich creates a great opportunity for scammers,” said PaulaFleming, vice president and communications of the localBBB.

BBB recommends looking out for the followingseven red flags when searching for a job:

•Red Flag: The employer offers the opportunity to becomerich without leaving home

Job hunters should use extreme caution when considering awork-at-home offer and always research the company withtheir BBB first at bbb.org.

•Red Flag: The employer asks for money upfrontIt is rarely advisable for an applicant to pay upfront fees or

make a required purchase to get a job. Be wary of job place-ment companies that ask for large upfront fees to find you ajob.

•Red Flag: The salary and benefits offered seem too-good-to-be-true

Phony employers might brag about exceptionally highsalary potential and excellent benefits for little work and noexperience necessary in order to lure unsuspecting job huntersinto their scam.

•Red Flag: Employer e-mails are rife with grammatical andspelling errors. Online fraud is often perpetrated by scammerslocated outside the U.S. Their first language usually isn’t Eng-lish.

•Red Flag: The employer requires you to check your cred-it report

Don’t divulge sensitive financial information or sign up forcredit monitoring services if an “employer” request you do so.

•Red Flag: The employer is quick to ask for personal in-formation such as Social Security or bank account numbers

A job applicant should never give out his or her Social Se-curity or bank account numbers over the phone or email andonly after they’ve confirmed the job is legitimate.

•Red Flag: The job requires you to wire money throughWestern Union or MoneyGram or receive and forward suspi-cious goods

Be cautious about these request and call the bank for the em-ployer ’s information first.

cider, Woodchuck came up with a new product—pumpkincider. What? Yup.

“Vermont’s own Woodchuck Hard Cider presents theirfirst ever Private Reserve Label, also the world’s first everpumpkin hard cider,” said Carter. “Woodchuck Private Re-serve Pumpkin is a special edition high-end cider with a 6.9percent alcohol content—compared to Woodchuck’s 4 per-cent and 5 percent for its core and Limited Release styles.”

Carter said Woodchuck Private Reserve Pumpkin is a trueconnoisseur ’s cider.

“Woodchuck Private Reserve Pumpkin Cider is beingshipped to select markets including Boston, Chicago, and ofcourse Vermont. Bottling is taking place now and will shipto wholesalers at the end of September and into October,”Carter noted.

According to Bret Williams, president and CEO of GreenMountain Beverage, not only are Woodchuck’s applesgrown in Vermont, but so are the pumpkins for the compa-ny’s new Private Reserve Pumpkin Cider

“Regarding the pumpkins being from Vermont: they weregrown within 10 miles of the cidery in Bristol. Technically,they were not purchased, they were donated by one ofWoodchuck's best employees–George Leggett,” Williamssaid.

According to Williams, the new pumpkin cider is Wood-chuck’s first style produced under the Private Reserve lineof hard ciders.

“This is a very limited run on our bottling line—only twohours—and will only be sent to a handful of markets in theUSA,” he said.

“It is our belief, and we have looked into it, that this isthe first ever pumpkin cider in the world made right herein Middlebury."

Williams said Woodchuck Cider also partners with Cham-plain Orchards, Sunrise Orchards, Sentinel Pines, and ColdHollow Cider Mill as part of their commitment to qualityand fostering local relationships with Vermont apple com-panies.

Is pumpkin cider any good? It sure sounds like, accord-ing to carter.

“The Woodchuck Private Reserve Pumpkin Cider pairsperfectly with roasted duck, turkey, squash ravioli, crèmebrulèe, and cheesecake as well as other distinguished dish-es noteworthy of the autumn harvest and fall holiday sea-son,” she said.

Also this fall, Carter said, Woodchuck Cider will releaseits Fall Cider Limited Release.

“This features an attractive bouquet of autumn spicesstarring cinnamon and nutmeg and balancing out the tastewith a hint of American white oak,” Carter said. “As withall Woodchuck Ciders, Limited Releases, and the brand newPrivate Reserve Label, both the Woodchuck Fall Cider andWoodchuck Pumpkin Cider are naturally gluten free andhandcrafted with techniques similar to those found in theearly days of American cider making.”

Now I think I’ll have that glass of Woodchuck PumpkinCider and a very large slice of cheescake. Mmm.

Births

Responding to local political andbusiness leaders and the VermontRail Action Network, the VermontAgency of Transportation submit-ted an application for federal tax-payer funds to upgrade the so-called western corridor betweenRutland and Burlington and extendthe costly Ethan Allen Express pas-senger train through Middleburyto Union Station in downtownBurlington.

The state had the benefit of feed-back from the U.S. Federal RailroadAdministration, which is responsi-ble for awarding the taxpayerfunds. Because of this feedback, theapplication includes money to im-prove highway grade crossings thelength of the route.

The route was recognized by thelegislature as the priority rail routein Vermont for investment.

The federal government willcover 80 percent of the cost of thework, almost $60 million in funds

from U.S. taxpayers. The state willput up a local match which will becovered by $15 million in bonding,which is a lot for Vermont, whichhas a relatively small transporta-tion budget and bonding capacity.

In order to include highwaycrossing upgrades and remainwithin budget, work in New Yorkeast of Whitehall and work onbridges was removed from the ap-plication.

Bridges on the line, which areowned and maintained by thestate, are safe but in poor conditionafter many years of lack of invest-ment (just like highways) due totaxpayer funds being syphoned offfor special interest social and edu-cation programs. Because of thebridge condition, freight cars can-not be fully loaded, which putsVermont at an economic disadvan-tage and raises the cost of fuel inthe state (trains bring the gas andheating oil).

“This is as strong an applicationas we could make and the localmatch shows the state's commit-ment,” said Christopher ParkerofVermont Rail Action Network.We appreciate the work of the railprogram and the entire Agency ofTransportation. There is strong po-litical support for this project andit is important for the state.”

While improving the line wouldmake it easier for future commuterservice to begin, this project isaimed at the Burlington-Middle-bury to New York market, via Al-bany. The train will leave Burling-ton in the morning and return fromNew York in the afternoon. Topspeed will be 59 mph. Welded railwill replace the old jointed rail.

Grants are supposed to beawarded at the end of September,although given that this is a tighttimeframe, it would not be surpris-ing if the process took longer.

Route 7From page 1

Zicconi: The contract currently underway has a construc-tion total of $11.3 million, but this is only one phase of sixphase project that will improve Route 7 from Brandon vil-lage through Pittsford village and a small portion just southof Pittsford village. Total cost of all six phases is estimatedat $60 million.

The current construction will be completed next year, butour intention is to run through the six segments one afteranother. We’re not yet sure just how long that will take, butit certainly will take but we are likely talking the better partof a decade if not longer.

The Eagle: How is this cost broken down federal vs. state fund-ing?

Zicconi: The current contract is being done with federalstimulus money, so it is 100 percent federal funds. The oth-er five phases will be the usual 80 percent federal, 20 per-cent state.

The Eagle: Was this a "stimulus" project or budgeted beforethe stimulus?

Zicconi: Only the current contract is stimulus. The otherfive phases will be our usual funding of 80/20 as mentionedabove.

The Eagle: What was the main reason for the work just southof Brandon? Was it all safety related?

Zicconi: Safety is one factor. The other is mobility. This 12-mile stretch of Route 7 does not meet modern standards fora major roadway (12-foot travel lanes and 8-foot shoulders)so this project will bring this segment of Route 7 up to mod-

ern specifications, which will improve both safety and mo-bility.

The Eagle: With all the Route 7 work being done, why aren'twe seeing more extended passing lanes being created? It seemsRoute 7 will be just as congested. Is this a false perception?

Zicconi: The project does include three passing lanes, but

they are all located further south of the current constructionand will be part of future construction contracts.

The Eagle: What is the long range viability of Route 7? Doyou see more bypasses—say around Middlebury—in the future?Assuming Vermonters will still want to travel by car, and to sup-port tourism as well as commerce, how can improved vehicularaccess between Rutland and Burlington be supported by Route 7without extended multiple lanes for passing and bypasses aroundbottleneck towns such as Middlebury?

Zicconi: Once we complete the Bennington and Mor-risville bypasses in 2012, the days of building bypasses arelikely behind us. These projects have long been in our sys-tem, and much of the pre-construction money has alreadybeen expended.

The combination of the cost of acquiring land, the cost ofconstruction and the inevitable environmental hurdles as-sociated with cutting a new roadway make building by-passes very difficult. This is why we look at roads like Route7 and assess improvements that can be made that both in-crease safety and allow traffic to flow better.

The kinds of practical tools at our disposal to improvetraffic flow and safety are the addition of strategic passinglanes, shoulder widening, adding turn lanes so turning ve-hicles do not impede the free flow of the mainline, and in-stalling roundabouts at intersections where they makesense.

In some cases, like through Brandon Village, we can alsoalter the roadway alignment slightly and improve intersec-tions so that traffic can flow more easily through the heartof town, but people should expect to have to slow down asthey travel through downtowns.
