Vt. senatordrops gunlaw proposalBy Lou Varricchionewmarketpress@denpubs.com
MONTPELIER — A pro-SecondAmendment rally on the steps of theVermont State Capitol Building Jan. 19had the desired effect—it was a “shot”heard ‘round Vermont. And a state sen-ator blinked.
Over 300 pro-Second Amendmentcitizens took part in the Vermont edi-tion of a 50-state rally to show theirsupport of the law of the land regard-ing the constitutional right of citizensto bear arms.
The “pro-gun” rally caught StateSen. Philip Baruth (D) by surprise. Theliberal Chittenden County senator hadproposed a sweeping ban on assaultweapons. After the rally, Baruth with-drew his proposal
“It’s painfully clear,” he said to re-porters. “I don’t believe there’s muchsupport in Montpelier for this sort ofbill."
Baruth had introduced his anti-gunbill approximately one week before theSecond Amendment rally was held in50 state capitals.
“It’s painfully clear to me now thatlittle support exists in the VermontStatehouse for this sort of bill,” Baruth

MIDDLEBURY — Arctic-like cold weath-er arrived in Vermont last week. The Nation-al Weather Service reported that states fromthe Midwest to New England were ham-mered by a polar air mass.
The windchill reached minus 25 degreesFahrenheit in some parts of the state. Day-time temperatures reached only the singledigits.
In neighboring New Hampshire, re-searchers on top of Mt. Washington record-ed near-record windchills of minus 75 de-grees.
The extreme cold, which appeared topeak—at least for now—is not expected toreturn during the first week of February.
Baby, it’s cold outside! This man in downtown Middlebury braved a minus-15 degree windchill last Tuesday. The extreme cold, which appeared to peak last week-end, is not expected to return during the first week of February.

It’s a term we hear bantered about inso many of the everyday things wethink and do. The term is called “po-
litically correct,” and it has become farmore than just trying to keep in step withmodern society.
Being politically correct seems to be in-vading all parts of our society. Nobodywants to be politically incorrect becausewe’ve been told it’s wrong and we’rewrong if we’re not acting, speaking oreven thinking correctly with the “main-stream” of political wisdom.
When did our political system startdictating our attitude, our way of think-ing, speaking, acting or just being our-selves? Is our political system now incomplete control of how Americans mustlive in this the land of the free? In a cul-ture that at one time prided itself on indi-vidualism, are we now being herdeddown a path of “get in step or else?”
There is a lot of talk these days aboutthe First and Second Amendment Rightsin the U.S. Constitution. Is it really politi-cians who now dictate how we must livein order to be correctly in line with theirversion American society? Have theychanged us from constituents to subjects?
Somehow I fear we’ve allowed them todivide us into two schools of thought andlabeled us Red and Blue. But why, withover 300 million people in the country,can’t we have various opinions? Are ourpolitical parties a reflection of the voters,or have the political parties divided us?And who is prospering the most from po-litical correctness?
As an example, growing up I did notcome from a gun-oriented family. We hadno guns, so I don’t have a strong bias to-ward the issue of gun ownership one wayor another. On the issue of outlawing cer-tain guns from law-abiding citizens be-cause of the actions of a few unstablepeople doesn’t make sense any more thanremoving prayer from government prop-erty and educational institutions becausea small minority claims to be offended.
That doesn’t mean I favor the senselesskilling of innocent lives any more than Ifavor the right to force anyone to worshiponly my God.
Growing up, my parents and teacherstaught me to think for myself. They werehappy to provide guidance, but I was
never en-couragedto do any-thing butreason outmy ownthoughtprocess andreach aconclusionof my own.
Commonsense, basic logic, learning how to do myown research and recognizing right fromwrong was all I needed to guide me to aposition. Once that position was reached,others might try to persuade me. As anindividual, you were respected for devel-oping a position, and for either standingby it or being persuaded to alter that po-sition if you were shown where your in-formation or logic was flawed.
Sadly political correctness is most re-cently from the Marxism culture datingback to World War I and World War II. Ifwe compare the basic principles of politi-cal correctness with other culturesthrough the ages, the parallels are obvi-ous. It’s a path we should not celebratebut try hard to avoid.
So why are we so quick to give ourgovernment so much control, and whyare these laws and rulings being handeddown without much public debate? Withso much information available today, wecan’t claim to be uniformed. Are we justdistracted and preoccupied, or are we be-ing asked to let down our guard and al-low others to think for us while beingdiscouraged from independent thinking?
When you consider the state of oureconomy, the ongoing stalemate takingplace in halls of government coupledwith the extravagances blooming inWashington, and the condition of radicalstates around the world, one has to won-der if we are still a fiercely independentnation, one that is ever evolving, one thatwas the envy of the world.
We should not take lightly any changesto the rights we have been given by ourforefathers, regardless of the implied in-tention of the changes.

From the Editor
The monsters on Maple StreetFor what it’s worth, I know America
has changed—and not necessarily forthe better. Call me a pessimist, but I
no longer fully believe it’s the place where Icame of age. Something happened along theway, but I can’t even put my finger on it.
Some of us blame Bush, Obama, thenews, social media, semiautomatic guns,video games, cell phones, declining churchattendance, pornography, or the neighborsdown the street who don’t value thingslike us. Or just fill in the blank with yourlatest bugaboo. Maybe we’re all to blame.
This reminds me of a “Twilight Zone”episode. Titled “The Monsters are Due onMaple Street,” this 1960 film took place ona suburban street where strange things andstrange folks fuel the fears of neighbors.The monsters, it turns out, are us.
I liken my own “Twilight Zone” redshiftin social perspective to having awakenedfrom a decades-long slumber.
Outside my bedroom window is a mad,alternative timeline in which familiarthings, such as cultural icons, either nolonger exist or are turned upside down andinside out. Familiar protocols, traditions,and interactions seem to no longer apply.Is this my reaction to what Alvin Tofflercalled “future shock” or something else?
From Congress on down to the cornersandwich shop, the changes are palpable.
One of the changes show that we havebecome a nation of whiners, victims, fearmongers, and tattlers; we seek to set rightour petty problems by crying to big broth-er—a government agency, a lawyer, even acop—to settle our accounts, or to simplymake life miserable for those individualswho have (or whom we imagine mighthave) slighted our precious egos or worldviews.
Instead of settling disagreements likecivil ladies and gentlemen, we resort to the“nuclear option.”
We call the cops—or a lawyer—to forcethe other guy into submission by seeing itour way.
In a recent incident, a tourist visitingNew York City ran up a restaurant tab andthen told the waiter that he couldn’t paybecause he left his wallet back at the hoteland was shot by New York’s Finest. Ratherthan, first, have the restaurant’s managercall the hotel front desk to verify thetourist’s story, the waiter instead rushed totelephone the police. A minor incident end-
ed up with gunfire.The restaurant story is the tip of the ice-
berg. Why do so many people resort tocalling the police for trivial matters insteadof settling it like adults?
Yes, I understand “dine and dash” inci-dents are a serious problems to restauran-teurs, but we’re not talking armed bankrobbery or hostage taking. Someone ate ameal and didn’t pay for it. During anothermiserable period in American history, theGreat Depression, such scofflaws were putto work in the kitchen washing dishes.
Not paying for a meal is more likeshoplifting; sure, it’s a crime, but not onerequiring a SWAT team on the premises.
Locally, I’ve heard about several inci-dents involving our police that were blownway out of proportion by the “slighted” in-dividuals, at least to my reasoning:
Incident one, a store clerk overreacted toa customer ’s compliment about her ap-pearance. The poor gentleman soon foundhimself talking to a police officer over theclerk’s complaint about “sexual harass-ment.” Since when has paying someone acompliment—of any gender—become sexu-al harassment?
Incident two, a customer who was out-raged when her interior-decorating bill in-cluded work she believed wasn’t done, gotin her car and drove to the shop to askquestions. Her arrival to the place of busi-ness prompted a telephone call by themanager to the police. The customer wasescorted off the premises with a “no tres-pass” notice served; she could no longerenter the shop for any reason.
Since when is a business customer for-bidden to have a face-to-face with the own-er to settle what she considers unfaircharges on a bill? Why do police evenbother to get involved with petty, time-consuming incidents when graver things—burglary, domestic violence, and drug traf-ficking—are more pressing locally?
In the end, a return to civility—even justtalking to each other, face-to-face, aboutour problems, slights, fears, personalviews, and misinterpretations—will re-quire a significant effort by all of us, notjust them. For a society filled with so manyamazing communication devices, we haveforgotten the ability to communicate.

News of the Week
By Lou Varricchionewmarketpress@denpubs.com
FERRISBURGH — The 21st century technology of side-scan sonar has come a long way from the 1950s. During thepost World War II years, side-scan sonar was invented byresearchers at Westinghouse and the U.S. Navy Mine De-fense Laboratory in Panama City, Fla.
Now, the latest incarnation of side-scan sonar has beenused in Lake Champlain to explore an historic, 19th-centurycanal-boat wreck off Charlotte. The new 3D sonar technolo-gy was employed by Vermont archeologists during a video-recorded expedition in the summer of 2012.
What makes 3D sonar so special in exploring underwaterwrecks? First, some sonar basics—
Sonar is an acronym for Sound Navigation And Ranging.Leonardo DaVinci is credited with its invention in 1490.
Leonardo’s primitive “sonar” device wasn’t exactly sonarin its electronic incarnation, but in its purest essence, theRenaissance master ’s device was as close as the world got tothe technology for several centuries.
During a summer evening, under a new moon, Leonardopartially submerged a hollow wooden tube in an Italian lake.He wanted to determine if his ear could detect the muffled,watery soundwaves of an out-of-sight “enemy” rowboatseveral hundred yards away.
Four hundred and twenty three years later, the primitiveforerunner of modern sonar emerged following the Titanicdisaster. And decades after that, true electronic sonar cameinto being.
Today, sonar ’s side-scanning ability involves electronicinstrumentation.
As an electromagnetic or E.M. transmitter, a sonar devicegenerates high-frequency sound waves which are emitted incone- or fan-shaped pulses. The pulses slice perpendicularpathways through a medium such as water.
For maritime applications, side scanners are either towedbehind or mounted onboard a vessel.
Officials of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s Mar-itime Research Institute announced last week that a Vermontpublic television program, which airs this month, will showa team of museum divers using high-tech, side-scan radar.The device was used to explore the wooden wreck of theSloop Island, a nearly 100-foot-long canal boat built in 1873.The dive on the cold-water wreck was recorded last summer.
The new side-scan sonar device used by the maritime mu-seum divers was supplied by industry newcomer TeledyneBlueView of Seattle, Wash. The company, which opened itsdoors in 2005, has already patented several new technologiesin high-resolution underwater acoustic imaging and meas-urement.
"The scanning sonar was able to capture striking 3D im-agery,” maritime museum co-executive director Adam Kanetold the Eagle. “The images were so incredible that the teammembers were beside themselves as the detailed imageswere transferred from the equipment on the bottom to thecomputer screen on the research vessel."
Kane said using 3D sonar is an exciting new way to studyhistoric shipwrecks and to share them with the public.
”The Teledyne BlueView BV 5000-2250 is a tripod-mount-ed device that takes millions of individual sonar readings
and displays the results as a 3D point cloud,” he noted.“Lake Champlain Maritime Museum used this technology tomake its detailed examination of the Sloop Island whichsank during the first quarter of the 20th century.”
Forty locations around, on, and within, the wreck sitewere scanned. At each of these positions the sonar was ableto capture accurate 3D images of the shipwreck, which werethen assembled into a detailed 3D model of the entire wreck.
The composite image, Kane added, consists of 35 milliondata points and allows the remains of the Sloop Island to beexamined in a completely innovative way.
According to Kane, archaeological drawings of the ship-wreck were created by museum archaeologists during morethan 300 dives between 2002 and 2003. Those dives usedmanual documentation. By contrast, he said data gatheringwith the new technology in 2012 took just three days.
“We're really excited about this equipment as a tool toshare the lake's shipwrecks with the public,” Kane told theEagle. “Most folks can’t get there on their own, but we’ll doour best to share what’s on the bottom of the lake.”
The result of last summer ’s dive will be broadcast on Ver-mont Public Television, Sunday Feb. 3, at 2 p.m. VPT willlikely have the video posted online for viewing, too.
According to Kane, a grant from the National CenterforPreservation Training and Technology of the National ParkService helped fund the televised dive.

D.C. motor inventor lived in BrandonBy Lou Varricchionewmarketpress@denpubs.com
BRANDON — Step aside Thomas Edison and Nikola Tes-la. A Brandon blacksmith pioneered the use of electricityduring the 1830s, four decades before inventors Edison andTesla began experimenting with electricity for commercialand home applications.
Vermont-native inventor Thomas Davenport was born in1802. He operated a blacksmith shop in the Forestdale sec-tion of Brandon near the intersection of Routes 73 and 53.There he invented the first D.C. (direct current) electricalmotor in 1834. A year later, he built a scale-model of a futur-istic electrical railway. It was the first electric train on anyscale.
The Brandon blacksmith had learned about the use of anelectromagnet, built by Joseph Henry and operated by AllenPenfield owner the Crown Point Ironworks, in nearbyIronville, N.Y. Penfield’s underground and open pit minesand mill facilities were located up the hill from Crown Point,N.Y., along Putnam Creek, at the edge of Penfield Pond nearthe west shore of Lake Champlain.
“Penfield was the first to employ an electromagnet to‘charge’ the iron quills in his iron-ore separating machine,”said Joan Hundson, president of the Penfield Museum Board
of Directors in Crown Point.“The magnet made it possible to separate some of the non-
magnetic minerals from the ore before the ore was placed inthe forge. That’s why Ironville is considered the birthplaceof the Age of Electricity.”
Davenport had visited Penfield’s 19th century iron oper-ation on horseback on several occasions. Iron for the famousBrooklyn Bridge and Civil War ironclads, including the USSMonitor, was later mined and milled there. The Vermonterwas fascinated by Penfield’s expanding operation as well asby the motive power of magnets. In 1833, Davenport pur-chased Penfield’s big magnet when it was replaced by a newdevice.
Carrying the magnet via horse-drawn wagon to the CrownPoint docks on Lake Champlain, Davenport then ferried thedevice to Bridport in Vermont. From there, the wagon deliv-ered the electromagnet, overland, to Davenport’s Forestdaleworkshop.
According to one account of Davenport’s life, “He un-wound and dismantled the (Joseph Henry) magnet as hiswife, Emily took notes on its method of construction. Hethen started his own experiments and built two more mag-nets of his own design. Insulated wire was required, but onlybare wire was available. Emily cut up her wedding dress intostrips of silk to provide the necessary insulation that allowedfor the maximum number of windings.”
A friend and neighbor, Orange Smalley, also took part inearly experiments that led to the running of the first electricmotor during the summer of 1834.
Davenport also patented a device for "improvements inpropelling machinery by magnetism and electromagnetism"in 1837—this patent described the first electric railway basedon the model train constructed in Brandon. Davenport’smodel train ran on a circular track four feet in diameter; itspower was supplied by a stationary battery.
During the early 1840s, Davenport opened a workshop inNew York City.
He also published the world’s first technical journal de-voted to all things electromagnetic. Davenport travelled be-tween New York and Vermont until his death. He died in Sal-
isbury, on July 6, 1851.Despite being revered as a technological genius by the fra-
ternity of mechanical engineers, Davenport has gone large-ly unnoticed in histories about pioneering American inven-tors.

Before Edison and Tesla, there was Davenport
The Inventive DavenportsYou can view a replica of the electromagnet used by Daven-
port at the Penfield Museum and homestead in Crown Point, N.Y.(the original is in the Smithsonian).
The first Davenport-Smalley workshop, and an historical mon-ument, can be seen in the Foresdale district of Brandon. Itʼs lo-cated 800 feet south of the intersections of Routes 73 and 53.
Inventiveness ran in Davenportʼs family. A descendant, EarlDavenport, is credited with inventing the “over-unity” magneticmotor and generator. This Davenport inveted the “over-unity” ad-vanced alternator at the age of 12.

wrote in a news statement that was published following the rally. “It’s equally clear that fo-cusing the debate on the banning of a certain class of weapons may already be overshad-owing measures with greater consensus, like tightening background checks, stopping theexchange of guns for drugs, and closing gun show loopholes.”
COLD CATTLE? NAH! — This breed of rugged highland cattle, at a ranch along U.S. Route 7 in Pittsford,seemed to shrug off subzero, arctic temperatures last week. The hardy breed was developed in theScottish Highlands and Western Isles of Scotland and are derived from black and ginger stocks. Thebreed is highly valued for its delicious meat in the U.K. and parts of Canada.

From News ReportsMONTPELIER — Poning in from his Washington, D.C., of-
fice, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) testified last week be-fore three committees of the Vermont House looking intowhy gasoline prices are consistently higher in Vermont thanthe rest of the country.
Sanders said gasoline prices in Vermont are significantlygreater than the national average and prices in northwesternVermont usually are 20 cents to 30 cents more per gallon thanelsewhere in the state.
Sanders spoke to a joint hearing by the Vermont House
transportation, commerce, and judiciary committees. In northwestern Vermont, three gas distributors control at
least 54 percent of the filling stations. The four largest fill-ing station owners control at least 118 stations, nearly two-thirds of the gas stations in that part of the state. As a result,Sanders said, competition is limited and prices frequentlyare about 25 cents a gallon more in northwestern Vermontthan stations just 40 miles away in Middlebury, Vt.
The extra $5 a fill-up that motorists are charged in north-western Vermont adds up to hundreds of dollars more a year.
“Gas station owners have a right to make a profit, but theydon't have a right to rip people off,” Sanders said.
Sanders: Vermont gas prices too high

R U T L A N D — F o r g e tabout copper. At today’sgold prices—hovering be-tween $1,600 and $1,700 anounce—picking up even alittle gold off the ground isfound money. As gold pricesrise, more and more localresidents, and out-of-staters, and hitting them‘thar Vermont hills in searchof gold. Vermont has gold—in the ground and in some ofits streams—but it takes is alittle training, work, and pa-tience to get it out and intoyour pocket.
The first-phase of Ver-mont’s Gold Rush was cen-tered around Plymouth FiveCorners and lasted fouryears. In surrounding Wind-sor County, Vermont goldseekers took to hills andstreams between the 1850sand 1880s in search of localwealth.
In 1855, MatthewKennedy, a California ‘49er,returned home to Vermontand found gold flakes and asmall nugget in ReadingPound Brook. Within a fewmonths, Reading Pound, aswell as Broad and Buffalobrooks, were swarming withget-rich-quick panners look-ing for gold.
In true frontier-style, ho-tels and saloons sprung upin Five Corners to serviceminers, merchants andhangers on. However, by1861—when civil strifebroke out between the Northand South—young Vermon-ters headed off for battle-fields instead of the Windsorgold fields.
Vermont‘s Windsor Coun-ty gold field was forgotten—until a brief, final spurt inthe 1880s.
The town of Five Cornerswas abandoned by the 1860s.All that remained were cel-lar holes, stone sluice walls,and rare privy artifacts.
For professional outdoorguide and veteran caverRick Pingree of Rutland, thegold rush-era history of Ver-mont is a treasure that de-serves better; the period issadly ignored by most histo-rians perhaps due to its lackof many written and photo-graphic records.
One group has a differentview of the gold rush era, theRutland Rock and MineralClub.
In 2009, club memberswere instrumental in gettingthe state to pay for an his-toric roadside marker atCamp Plymouth State Parkwhich now stands as an offi-cial commemoration of Ver-mont's forgotten gold-rushera.
Rick Pingree is proud ofthe new state marker.
“My great grandfather, IraSumner, was a gold mineworker in Windsor County,”Pingree said. “Unfortunate-ly, there aren’t a lot ofrecords from that time. Thestate’s largest gold mine op-eration was the Rooks Minein Plymouth. It is the onlygold mine that is situated, inpart, on state-owned land.”
All other gold mines andtest adits are on privateproperty—they are off limitsto individuals without own-er permission.
“In 1880, a group of min-ers returned to the PlymouthFive Corners area and traced
placer gold in Buffalo Creekto its source in a quartz veinhigh on the slope above thecreek,” said Pingree. “Twoyears later, the Rooks Minewas in operation.”
Pingree has explored deepinside the abandoned shaftsof the Rooks Mine (laterknown as the Fox Mine);while the mine is dangerousfor amateur cavers to enter,even Pingree got spookedinside the mine a few yearsago. A companion encoun-tered unstable ground in-side the mine’s verticalshaft. They quickly aban-doned further exploration.
Abandoned mines aremore dangerous than manycaves, according to Pingree.
Pingree mapped most ofthe Rooks Mine’s remains. Itwas a big mine for its time—200 feet in length with bothvertical and horizontalshafts.
Parts of the mine are stillshored up with 19th centurytimbers, he said. Even the re-mains of the ore car railwaycan be seen. A large process-ing mill stood along thecreek at the foot of the mine.
Today, visitors to the siteon state land can glimpsesome of the stonework of theold complex.
“In 1884 the Rooks Minewas top news here since itwas producing $50-ton ore.But things changed in 1887.The Rooks was bankrupt,and the last stage of the Ver-mont gold rush was over,”he said.
While there are numeroustest mine shafts that awaitdiscovery in Vermont’s oldGold District, Pingree be-lieves he and his friendshave located most of them.
“The largest Vermont goldmines were the Rooks Mine,the Dailey Hollow GoldMine, the QuttaquecheeMine, the T-Gold Mine andthe Taggart-Fagneau Mine,”he said.
In time, frost action andground-water seeping willobliterate Vermont’s historicgold mines from view. Itdoesn’t help that state histo-rians have shown little inter-est in the period, while oth-ers seem not to want to glo-rify the state’s mining past.
But with the help of devo-tees like Rick Pingree, thememory of a time when Ver-mont gold fever seized lo-cals and flatlanders alikewill be kept alive a littlewhile longer.

ton will decide the fate of the community’s town office build-ing. Voters will decide to vote, up or down, for $1 million tobe spent in construct a new town hall.
If built, according to Select Board Chairman Thomas Ettori,the new 4,520 square-foot building will occupy five-acresalong Route 30, south of the town medical center.
“The plans were done by NBF Architects, but without ameeting room and fire department as first proposed,” Ettorisaid.
In addition to 31 parking spaces added in town, the Castle-ton Police Department will have a space at the building.
Ettori said the $1 million price tag includes purchasing theRoute 30 property.
Castleton voters have already voted three times on the fateof town offices.
