Steamboaters cruise Otter CreekBy Lou Varricchio

[email protected]

Charlie: All this fool talk... goin' down the river.Rose: What do you mean?Charlie: I mean we ain't goin' to do nothin' of the sort.Rose: Why, of course we're going! What an absurd idea!

—”The African Queen” (1951)

Steamboaters seem to quote “The AfricanQueen” a lot, probably because, to many ofthem, the Hollywood movie’s star attrac-tion isn’t really Humphrey Bogart orKatherine Hepburn — it’s the film’s riv-er steamboat, The African Queen.For steamboat hobbyists, the clas-sic film captures the adventureand romance of river steamboat-ing.

New England and Middle At-lantic States members of the NorthAmerican Steam Boat Associationhauled their “retro” steam launch-es over hill and dale to Vermont’sOtter Creek. Sixteen elegant

steamboats — modeled after their Victorian and Edwardian-era predecessors — along with 30 individuals, steamed upand down Otter Creek between Lake Champlain and the Ver-gennes Basin, as part of a second annual gathering at Riv-er ’s Edge Cottages and Campground last week.

“As you can see, we love steamboats,”said Russ Steeves of Chlemsford, Mass.,

skipper of the fetching S.L. Redbud.Steeves is a retired aerospace engineerwho loves to tinker with mechanical

things. “Well,

technically our boats are called steam launches or S.L. forshort.”

Steeves was proud to give this reporter a cruise up anddown a portion of the Otter Creek to demonstrate the retro,dare I say steampunkish, ways of a 21st-century reincarnat-ed steam launch.

Complete with a brass-trimmed wood-fed boiler, locomo-tive-like steamboat whistle, a mini-blackpowder cannon forsignalling the social hour, mahogany-teakwood deck andgunwale, as well as upholstered Victorian bench seats, theS.L. Redbud would be the ideal vehicle for a neo-Bogart andHepburn to explore the mist-shrouded Otter.

“Our members’ steam launches are really newboats made to look old — many use

Up a lazy river: Modern day steamboaters

Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas was in IraqJuly 21 with a delegation of governors tomeet with troops and receive a first-handupdate about the situation in Iraq. Dou-glas, a resident of Middlebury, first visit-ed Iraq in March 2006.

The governor departed from AndrewsAir Force Base after meeting with DeputySecretary of Defense William Lynn andvisiting Walter Read Army Medical Cen-ter during the day. He arrived at Bagh-dad International Airport this morningand had an opportunity to meet with Ver-mont soldiers at Camp Victory and AlFaw Palace.

During the day he also received a brief-ing from Lt. Gen. Kenneth Hunzeker, thedeputy commander of U.S. Forces in Iraqand the NATO Training Mission in Iraqand had a hands-on MRAP vehicledemonstration.

“The Vermonters who have served andwho are currently serving in Iraq andAfghanistan are an inspiration to us all,”said Douglas. “The sacrifices our troopsand their families back at home havemade to bring peace and security to thisregion of the world are tremendous. It isa privilege to be able to see firsthand thework they have done in Iraq.”

Storms knock out powerBy Lou Varricchio

[email protected]

Residents of the region may have received a reprieve fromlast week’s hot, humid weather, but it came at a price. Whena cold front came through the area on the afternoon of July21, it brought with it a line of severe thunderstorms. Thestorms tracked west to east across a wide portion of Ver-mont. Nature’s violence knocked out electrical power toover 11,500 CVPS customers including Rutland and Addi-son counties.

Rutland County was hit hardest by the thunderstorms,according to Christine Rivers of CVPS.

“About 7,100 customers were without power in RutlandCounty, 1,900 in Orange County and 1,200 in Windsor Coun-ty, with 300 in Addison and 450 out in Chittenden County—with scattered outages throughout the state,” said Rivers.

Chittenden County was hit hard earlier in the afternoonin an erratic line from Charlotte to Hinesburg.

Crews were in the field July 21 during the evening hoursto remove downed trees and limbs from the storm front’shigh winds—some gusts exceeded 52 mph. Crews had todeal with the downed trees before they could get at powerlines.

“Crews reported having to pull over to the side of theroad due to high winds bringing down trees and limbs, andheavy rain and hail severely reducing visibility. Many CVworkers reported trees and limbs down everywhere,” SaidRivers.

Crews worked into the early morning hours of July 22 torestore power.

BRISTOL — Bristol residents can learn about the e-Ver-mont Community Broadband Project, and help shape e-Ver-mont projects, by attending a public forum Tuesday, Aug. 3,at 7 p.m. at the Bristol Rescue Squad building at 45 Monk-ton Road. Bristol’s eVermont steering committee is hostingthe session.

“E-Vermont offers Bristol a way to jumpstart our entryinto 21st century technology,” said Gerrie Huets, Bristol’srecreation director. “This meeting is to hear our communi-ty’s ideas about how e-Vermont can help them both person-ally and professionally.”

Towns around the state are considering ideas such as on-

line access to government meetings, specialized computerclasses for seniors, building on-line “buy local” maps, andcreating guides to local recreational activities.

Bristol’s application included ideas such as making freeWi-Fi available everywhere in the downtown, an on-linebusiness directory of goods and services, educational andinformational pod casts available on demand and net booksavailable for loan at the Lawrence Library.

To find out more about the meeting, contact Carol Wells,453-7378 or [email protected].

E-Vermont is produced by the Vermont Council on RuralDevelopment.

MIDDLEBURY — AviatorDave Corey of Benningtonhas been flying airplanes for45 years. As a skilled pilotand businessman, Corey ex-panded his passion for avia-tion into a successful Ver-mont-based airfreight oper-ation called AirNow. Theairline operates out of Ben-nington’s busy William H.Morse State Airport.

Aside from normal busi-ness operations, AirNow, inpartnership with Evangelis-tic World Outreach, is alsodoing good things, quietly,behind the scenes — it hasbeen flying vital humanitar-ian relief missions to earth-quake victims in Haiti. But,that’s just the sort of thing aman and aviator like Coreyresponds to without anyprompting.

This month, Corey flewhis personal, record-settingexperimental Questair Ven-ture aircraft to the Middle-bury State Airport. He madea special visit to the AddisonCounty airport to drop in ona local pilot friend.

Corey’s unusual aircraftholds the National Aeronau-tical Association’s worldrecord for a single-enginepropeller flight between Pa-

cific and Atlantic coasts — ittook the pilot a mere 7 hours,non-stop, to fly from SanDiego, Calif., to Palm Beach,Fla. Corey accomplished thefeat — solo — back in 2008.

Only 30 such experimen-tal Venture aircraft exist inthe world, according toCorey, and only 20 are fly-ing. Legendary aircraft de-signer Jim Griswold de-signed the Venture for speed.However, its popularity wasless than spectacular; nowthe Venture has become avery rare bird that turnsheads wherever it touchesdown.

Using technology derivedfrom the speedy Piper Mal-ibu, the Venture is a bit of anugly duckling at first glance,looking a tad aerodynami-cally-challenged. But, looksare deceiving; in fact, theplane’s stubby look is itsgreat advantage in the air.

First launched in 1987, theexperimental Venture seriesare built of all-metal, pre-formed multi-curvaturepanels. The plane has jetfighter-like tricycle re-tractable landing gear, too,which — when tucked up in-side the fuselage — helps theplane slip through stubbornair molecules. Corey’s Ven-ture has an American-madeContinental 300 hp power-plant. And, while the wings

are 25 feet long but the fuse-lage is only 12 feet long, anunusual wing-to-body ratio,it is a bird built for speed.

“It took me 10 years tobuild the Venture,” Coreysaid. “I worked on it at var-ious airports around Ver-mont. Its top speed is 300mph or 240 kts. It’s a very ef-ficient aircraft holding 80gallons of aviation fuel.”

During the 2008 bannerflight, Corey flew with on-board oxygen and cruisedhigh, in the kingdom of jets,to avoid turbulence and badweather. During most of the7-hour flight, Corey took theplane to its ceiling at 28,000feet above sea level.

“The coast-to-coast flightwas very comfortable withno problems,” Corey said.“The cabin layout made itcomfortable; it includes two,side-by-side seats and a rearbaggage space. Having thesmallest possible airframealso makes it a highly-streamlined design.”

After inspecting hisfriend’s plane and catchingup on news in Middlebury,Corey climbed into the Ven-ture and winged his wayback to home base approxi-mately 89 miles away—esti-mated time of arrival: howdoes 26 minutes, 42 secondssound?

Record-breaking aircraft pays visit to Middlebury

Dave Corey of Bennington stands next to his NAA record-breaking Venture at the Middlebury StateAirport last week. He flew the experimental airplane coast-to-coast in seven hours in 2008.

In today’s hypersen-sitive political-cor-rectness atmos-

phere, it’s not safe anymore to quote 18th centu-ry French writer/philoso-pher/politician Charlesde Secondat, Baron deMontesquieu’s pre-lib-erte, egalite, fraternitecomments about “a gov-ernment of laws and notof men” because of itsunacceptable sexist lan-guage.

“A government of lawsand not of persons” doesn’t have quitethe same cachet but the larger point re-mains valid: the rules ought to be pub-lished, predictable, and transparent,not subject to constant case-by-case re-interpretation according to monarchicalwhim or, in the modern Vermont, vo-cal-majority mood.

Nowhere is this more apparent thanin the once predictable but now per-ilous field of land-use regulation –plan-ning-and zoning and the shiretown ofAddison County is a prime example.

And within the P&Z process in Mid-dlebury, hapless not-little-and-local-enough office-supply-vendor Staples isnow the entrée du jour, as anti-big-boxactivists have enlarged their list of re-tail enemies to include some, not all,despised corporate chains as well asthat earlier target, big-box retail out-lets.

Historical purists will argue that itwasn’t Montesquieu who put the abovequote into his 18th century book “L’E-sprit du Loi” but English writer JamesHarrington who used it in his 17th cen-tury book, “Empire of the Law” fromwhich source later-President-2, JohnAdams, put it into the MassachusettsConstitution. Je ne sais pas.

I do know that the basic idea of do-ing all-things-governmental by-the-open-book was at the root of LewisCarroll’s Alice in Wonderland andThrough the Looking Glass in which heridiculed an arbitrary monarchy. Hisexample wasn’t Victoria, who might re-taliate, but a safely fictional Red Queenwho demanded subjectivity in deci-sion-making via “verdict first, trial lat-er”, and a well-known “the law is whatis I say it is” quote which, however, Ihave not been able to find in his pages.

Enthusiasts for majority rule gover-nance should have no quarrel with atown voting to put whatever it wantsin its zoning ordinance, so long as it is-

n’t unconstitutional orarbitrary, and so if theshire town votes to ex-clude retail with anover-50K SF footprint,fine. If its voters want toexclude all chain retailas well, that’s their priv-ilege based on their au-tonomy. Let them thensay so in their rule book,so that the managementof stores like Staplesdoesn’t naively read theP&Z rules, think (incor-rectly) that they’re wel-

come, apply for a permit, and only thenfind out that they’re not.

Transparency (rule-of-law-and-not-persons) requires that the rulers (thosewho administer the duly-adopted P&Zrules) be just as bound by those pre-dictable published requirements as theruled, those who apply for permits touse land. That isn’t usually the case inthe modern Vermont in general, and intowns like Middlebury, Manchester,and Randolph in particular.

Randolph, you may recall, was theplace where, recently, a state assistantattorney general argued that a permitapplication meeting all published zon-ing requirements should be deniedanyway (and it was), because in thatparticular case “the zoning regulationsare irrelevant”.

Manchester, you may recall, was theplace where a motel proposed for anarea zoned for motels was denied be-cause the franchise had a number in itsname and was therefore considered toodown-scale to be socially acceptable.And Middlebury is the place wherehostility to all things corporate is high-ly selective: those with a national pro-file aren’t welcome, while those consid-ered suitably local and/or mom-n-popare.

If that’s what these towns want, fine:let them say so in plain English in theirzoning ordinances. My suspicion is thatthose with such views lack the gump-tion to say so directly, and prefer tokeep their preferences unspoken, wherethey can be exercised according to theircurrent mood.

That’s not rule of law, either Mon-tesquieu or Adams. It’s a Red Queenrule of mood.

A government of mood

Ilike twisting the cap off the gasoline can and the capoff the tractor ’s tank—then feeling the cool gas flowthrough the fill hose. I like the smell of gas on my

hands, the smell of gas fumes mixed with dirt and grass.I’m Lord of my lawn. Lord with hands that smell likework.

I like twisting the tiny cap off the air stem, setting it onthe gravel driveway, adding air, finding the tiny air stemcap on the gravel driveway, and twisting it back on. Re-peating three times. Lifting the faded red metal hood,turning the top and pulling the dipstick out, wiping itwith my forefinger and thumb, returning it, pulling it outand checking it, then securing it on the filler tube. Mainte-nance. My mower is well kept.

I like knowing the proper amount of choke and fuelneeded to start the mower, and being able to toggle thegas and choke levers, and depress the clutch, and turn thekey, all in one motion. I like the sound of the first revolu-tions of the motor, a very hearty explosion, a snap, pop,and bang, not altogether, but like a drummer ’s flam. Thesound is mixed with dry grass, dusty grease, dirt and dryrubber, and smells like life itself. It smells fantastic. Amer-ica the beautiful. Addicted to oil.

I like mowing.I like dad’s old style tractor, not new Zero-Turn models.

Steering wheel in my hands, (reminds me of dad) turning;the bow of the tractor, my Peterbuilt. I wheel that son of agun, left, straight, right, back, forth, straight, while theheat from the 8 horse power plant increases the rate Isweat in the summer, but keeps me warm in the fall.

I like pushing the lever forward to engage the mowerblades. I always wonder if this time will be the time some-thing lets go and the blades won’t engage when I push thelever forward. But they always do. But if they didn’t, Iwould have to get them fixed, and that would take a dayor two, and I wouldn’t be able to mow for a day or two,and I like to mow every single day. I’d be very disappoint-

ed if for some reason push-ing the lever forward didn’tengage the mower blades.Very disappointed.

When I mow I think, talkto myself, and sing likeDean Martin. My bestsinging is not done in theshower. When I mow I al-ways come up with goodideas, like this one, to writeabout liking mowing.

I’ve taken to smoking theoccasional cigar of late, andduring the course of severalmows over the past two seasons, I’ve torched a nicemaduro corona. I blow smoke, jumbling along, one handon the wheel, one hand hung low, to the side, hoveringjust above the right rear fender, a cigar sporting an evenlyburnt inch long ash set comfortably safe between mypointer finger and thumb. I’m a smoke-blowing aristocrat.

Lot of guys like mowing. We like mowing because mow-ing is in the “cut” family, and guys like to cut things.Trees, toe-nails, the turkey, farts, in line, brush, sharpcheese, the mustard, cards, it out, the crap, Welch’s grapejuice with water.

Listing only half the reasons I like to mow would fill acolumn with words enough to cover several pages inprint. Rather than do that, I’ll add and end with …

Guys like mowing because you mow alone, and guys of-ten like to be alone.

The search for extraterrestrial life is to-day’s greatest scientific challenge.Setting aside the vast distances be-

tween worlds, the challenge to astrobiologistscomes down to the age-old question: what islife? You may think you’d know life when yousee it, but consider two recent controversiesthat illustrate the problem.

The best working definition of life was pro-vided by biologist Gerald Joyce of the ScrippsResearch Institute. Joyce is a key member ofNASA’s exobiology team. His definition isnow guiding the space agency’s search for lifeelsewhere.

“Life is a self-sustained chemical system ca-pable of undergoing Darwinian evolution,”according to Joyce’s definition.

More specifically, he identifies life as pos-sessing three characteristics:

1. Life must be a chemical system.2. Life must grow and sustain itself (metab-

olize energy from its environment).3. Life must display variation.But, even with Joyce’s guidelines, it’s not so

easy.Several respected paleontologists remain

stymied as to how to recognize Earth’s earli-est fossil lifeforms.

Ancient chert rock found in Australia wasonce believed to hold Earth’s earliest micro-scopic lifeforms.

In 1993, J. William Schopf of the Universityof California at Los Angeles stirred up a sci-entific firestorm when he claimed he had evi-dence of Earth’s oldest bacteria — microscop-ic structures representing 11 fossil species.

Upon more detailed analysis, other re-searchers found Schopf’s 3.5-billion-year-oldmicroscopic structures weren’t fossils; in-stead, the microstructures were the productsof geochemical reactions in prehistoric hy-drothermal vents. Despite the apparent set-back, researchers dusted themselves off andcontinue the quest for paleontology’s HolyGrail.

In the case of the search for life on Mars,NASA scientists have learned their lessons thehard way over the years. Frequently, thingsthat appear to be related to life on the surface,turn out to be more easily explained via geo-chemistry.

In 1976, NASA’s first landing on Mars bythe twin Voyager spacecraft included a fa-mous experiment, the labeled-release experi-ment.

The Viking scooped up a tiny amount ofMartian regolith (soil) in situ and exposed itto a rich nutrient soup. The soup had been in-jected with radioactive carbon atoms back onEarth with the idea being alien microbes inthe soil would consume the soup then releasea bit of radioactive carbon dioxide (expelling

the injected ra-dioactive car-bon out the oldshute, so tospeak). The ex-periment was asuccess — well,sort of. Yes, thesoil loved thesoup and ate itup. It was evidence of a metabolic reaction —a clear sign of life, right? Not exactly.

A companion experiment aboard Vikingscooped up martian regolith, too, and thensearched for organic compounds of carbon.None could be found. This second experimentnegated the first, labeled-release experiment.No carbon, no microbes. Apparently, chemi-cals in the Martian regolith “ate” the nutrientand produced radioactive CO2. Somethingsure looked like life signs but was, instead, anon-living reaction.

The infamous August 1996 NASA news con-ference claiming fossil life inside Mars mete-orite ALH84001 gave a blackeye to the spaceagency. Agency researchers claimed polycyclicaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) found insidethe space rock were the fingerprints of micro-bial life. NASA researchers also claimed themeteorite — found in Antarctica in 1984,hence the “84001” label — contained micro-scopic structures that looked like fossilizedmicrobes. Here again, so-called life signs canbe deceiving.

After considerable scrutiny by outside re-searchers, the PAL molecules were found tohave been produced by non-living reactions— in fact, PAHs are an ingredient of terrestri-al air pollution. And, the tiny “fossils” insidethe meteorite? Well, these objects became sus-pect, too; the wormlike structures are an orderof magnitude smaller than microbes on Earth— again, inorganic reactions can produce sim-ilar structures right here on Earth.

Figuring out how to finely distinguish be-tween geochemical and biological signs is adaunting challenge in the search for life be-yond Earth.

Rural Vermont helps farmers


NEW HAVEN — Where can you sup-port local farms, local artists and enjoy lo-cal wine and cheese? Rural Vermont’s sec-ond annual "Art for Agrarians" auction re-ception at the Lincoln Peak Winery.

The bidding kicked off on-line July 26and ends with the closing reception at thewinery Sunday, Aug. 8.

Twenty-one art pieces donated by Ver-mont artists and depicting Rural Ver-mont's vision for Food with Dignity willbe posted to the Web site www.ruralver-mont.org for quick browsing as you bid oryou can visit the winery.

Janis Moore is one artist in the center ofattention during the event. Not just anycows — traditional red and white Sim-mentals.

“Simmentals are really nice to look at —they’re real eye candy,” she said. “And, Ithink I imprinted on them. I really am at-tracted to the dark red with the double-

goggled eyes. Their red color keeps themout grazing longer — they don’t get asmany flies or parasites as the black cowsdo.”

After first working with Simmentals ona cattle ranch in Florida — the largestranching state east of the Mississippi —and raising several award-winning cows,Janis moved to Vermont with her ownsmall herd and started selling seed stockand the animals themselves at weaning.Currently, she has five cow-calf pairs thattake up her free time when she isn’t work-ing with AgrAbility at the Vermont Centerfor Independent Living or rescuing ani-mals as part of the Vermont Disaster Ani-mal Response Team (DART).

Janis’ personal motto is, “You find aneed, you fill it,” and she finds animals,especially, are in need of support.

“You have to give back to the communi-ty, and lots of people will take care of oth-er people, but there’s not that many thatwill take care of the animals,” she says.

Like her work and her passion, Janis’photography has focused primarily on an-imals — especially her cows.

“Very rarely do I take pictures of people— it’s all about cattle and wildlife and allkinds of weird things and disasters,” shesaid. “I blew up my hard drive last year, Ihave so many photos of my cows.”

TICONDEROGA — Theconstruction of a new LakeChamplain Bridge in CrownPoint will be a union projectafter all.

Even though New Yorkand Vermont rejected a proj-ect labor agreement (PLA)on the new bridge construc-tion, Flatiron ConstructionInc., recently signed a pri-vate PLA.

Flatiron, based in Col-orado, was awarded the

bridge contract for $69.9million.

Because the constructionof the bridge is fast-pacedand highly technical, Flat-iron spokeswoman ChristieDeLuca said, the companywants to make sure it hiresqualified workers.

“The bridge also incorpo-rates a unique design. Themain stand is a technicallychallenging tied-arch center,which requires specificqualifications to perform thework. So flatiron signed aPLA so the unions would

help assist them in findingemployees that have thenecessary experience forthat highly technical work,”she said.

Workers must apply forjobs through the union hir-ing halls, DeLuca said, butthat does not mean they arerequired to be a union mem-ber.

“The way it works is localpeople go to the union hallsto put in their applicationand the union halls are thenrequired to refer any appli-cants that are qualified.They (applicants) don’t nec-essarily need to be union

and they are not required tojoin the union, but they willhave the option to,” shesaid.

Non-union workers willstill have to pay union duesbecause the union is still re-quired to represent them,but DeLuca said the dues areless then they would be for aunion member.

The PLA does not changethe workers' wages, DeLucasaid. Every worker will stillbe paid the prevailing wagerate established by the De-partment of Labor and theState of New York.

WaterwayThe Lake Champlain ferry Grand Isle crosses the narrows between Chimney Point and Crown Point, N.Y., last week. Summer tourism and regular local commuter traf-fic keeps the Grand Isle and her sister auto ferry Cumberland filled to capacity — approximately 35 average-sized vehicles per crossing. Passengers may ride the fer-ry free — their tax dollars are paying for the high-priced transportation subsidy.

Ludlow’s Black River Academy Museum‘rocks’ with historic chair replica

LUDLOW — Thanks to the master craftsmanship of BrentKarner of Ludlow, the Black River Academy Museum orBRAM now has an historic replica of one of the L.G. Fullamchairs produced at its Ludlow factory during the late 19thand early 20th centuries.

The unique chair, made of local wood, will be raffled offby BRAM. It is currently located in the museum's secondfloor auditorium.

Based on information compiled by local historian JanetUpton, by 1899 the company was manufacturing between150 and 200 Fullam chairs per day.

There were 50 different styles of hardwood chairs withreed and rattan seats and backs. Ninety percent of thesechairs were rocking chairs. It is estimated that the Fullammanufacturing company cut and used more than one-quar-ter of a million feet of hardwood per year.

Along with the Fullams, mills that manufactured lumberfor building cleared the land of much of its timber. The hillsand valleys around Ludlow became so deforested duringthe 1800s.

BRAM is promoting the chair in an exhibition entitled,"What the Rocker Knows".

Additional information on the exhibit is available at 228-5050.

WEST HAVEN — Jim Ryan took advantage of a front-rowstarting position and a cautionless feature to record his firstmodified win of the season Sunday night in the double-points,Mid-Season Championships at Devil's Bowl Speedway.

The front row was the place to be, as Seth Roberts, who start-ed next to Ryan, came across the line second, the best run of hisyoung career.

While Ryan and Roberts were opening up a little breathingroom, Don Mattison, Mike Bruno and Tim Laduc hooked up intheir own little battle a couple of car lengths back. Early in thefeature, Bruno and Laduc were running side-by-side, but on lap13, Laduc got his left front on the rumble strips, letting Brunoto get around him on the high side on the front stretch.

Roberts stayed within striking distance of Ryan, but could-n't find the grip on the outside to make the pass.

Ken Tremont Jr. made a late charge, getting by Laduc for fifthwith seven to go. Two laps later, Andy Durie got a flat tire, buthe was able to duck into the pits without bringing out the yel-low.

Tremont kept battling, and finally worked his way aroundBruno late in the feature. When the checkered flag fell, Matti-son, Tremont and Bruno chased Ryan and Roberts across thefinish line.

Don Miller continued to dominate the sportsman division,picking up his fifth win of the season. Jack Swinton set the ear-ly pace, but Miller, who started seventh, got the lead on lapeight.

At about the same time, Josh Joseph went flying off the back-

stretch.The grounds were so saturated that Joseph sent off a high

rooster tail of water, and the race had to be red-flagged for 15minutes while crews pulled his car out of the muck.

Once the race resumed, the field strung out quickly. HunterBates made a late charge and tried to close the gap on Miller,but he again proved to be too tough, and came away with thevictory. Bates, Swinton, Fred Proctor and Jon Rheome complet-ed the top five.

Brandon Emigh came away with his first win of the year inthe Renegade feature, and Robert Leitch also made his first vis-it of the year to victory lane, taking the checkered flag in theBomber Warriors feature.

Devil's Bowl will return to action on Sunday, Aug. 1, with allthe regular CVRA divisions, as well as the third race in the ProStock/Super Street Challenge, making up the racing card.

Velo Quebec Voyages of Montre-al, which organizes internationalbicycle tours, will bring as many as2,000 cyclists to Ti on Sunday.

“I think it’s a great opportunity

for the community to have 1,600 to2,000 people in town for two days,”said John McDonald, TiconderogaCentral School superintendent andco-chair of the local Velo organiz-ing committee. “It’s going to bequite a show.”

The bicycle tour is scheduled totake riders from Montreal to LakeGeorge, where they’ll spend anight. On Aug. 8 cyclists will cometo Ticonderoga and stay overnight.They will spend Aug. 9 touring lo-cal attractions and stay a secondnight before leaving Aug. 10 forPlattsburgh.

A “cyclist village” will be set upat Ticonderoga Middle School witha “bistro” across the street.

The village will accommodatebikers who want to camp — otherswill stay in local hotels — andserve as abase of operations in

Ticonderoga. The school will pro-vide its kitchen, cafeteria andshowers. Velo Quebec Voyages willpay all expenses associated withits use of the school.

The village will also feature lo-cal vendors selling items such asfresh fruit, ice cream, hot dogs andcorn on the cob.

“The Velo people were here lastweek for a walk-through,” saidBrassard, who is also co-chair ofthe local Velo organizing commit-tee. “They seemed pleased.”

Car show, bike tour to fill Ti

GRANVILLE, N.Y. — “ToLife! A Celebration of VermontJewish Women,” opened at theSlate Valley Museum inGranville last week. Exhibitcreators Ann Buffum andSandy Gartner of Rutland wereon-hand for the opening.

The 18-panel exhibit depictsthe life stories of 20 Jewishwomen living in Vermont, fromall walks of life, ages 12-101.

Each woman’s story is illus-trated with a large photo-graphic portrait, archival pho-tos, an essay, and selectedquotes and anecdotes in thewomen’s own words.

In context, their individualstories are a thread in the larg-er history of the Jewish com-munity in Vermont and theSlate Valley.

Ann Buffum and Sandy Gartner of Rutland, created a new exhibit on Jewishwomen in Granville, N.Y.

Letters to the EditorMiddlebury's monument

To the editor: Given the lack of planning on the part of the town council and the im-

mediacy of need for an edifice to center the new roundabout, why not en-list the Middlebury council members and the state legislature as activeparticipants.

Mr. Nuovo can have one of those "art contests" of which Middlebury isso fond; the winning ‘progressive artiste’ attains the honor of compilingthe assembly, a consist of the state legislature and the town council. Allhave proven to be idea-free and dense as granite thus providing superiorprotection to the motorists whirling about the new roadway.

In true bipartisanship, include members of both parties, since neitherhas done a lick of sensible work in over eight years. Progressives providea wonderful base for this amalgam; they start out mushy and form to mostcontours, then harden into something obdurate and cheaper than concrete.

Save the exterior positions for those individuals, the true nanny ataterswith the deer in the headlights look. Pose them arms extended, palms upas if to say, “Why me?” You know as well as I, there are a sufficient num-ber to ring the cenotaph.

The whole monstrosity shouldn’t cost more than $15 or $20 Canadian.They can afford it; Vermont can’t. If all else fails, dun Middlebury Collegefor the cost. Perhaps they'll contribute a pointy head to cap the creation?

Covered bridge overOtter Creek repaired


MIDDLEBURY-WEYBRIDGE — Officials closed thebridge over Otter Creek for one day, July 19, for temporarydeck plank repairs. The new repairs were made in order tomaintain the twin-lane covered bridge another year or so un-til it is fully restored, possibly in 2011.

The bridge’s unique architecture — called a Burr arch,double-barrel truss — helped place it on the National Reg-ister of Historic Places in 1974.

The one-of-a-kind bridge takes its name from a 19th cen-tury pulp wood mill that stood nearby. Both the towns ofWeybridge and Middlebury now maintain the historic span.

Pictured at right: Pulp Mill Bridge after repairs were made to deckplanks July 19.

fiberglass and wood — butsome have a few antique fit-tings here and there,” Steevessaid. “Overall, our boats areevocative of a vanished erawhen river and lake travelwas slow, measured — with-out the loud noise of modernboat engines.”

The soothing pocketa-pocke-ta-pocketa inner workings ofthese steam vessels are a med-itation on 19th-century tech-nology — maybe ornate, but aheck of a lot fun.

Capt. Steeves was joined byother steamboaters includingJohn Crockett of Andover,N.H. and skipper of the S.L.Jabberwock; Charles Roth ofGlen Gardner, N.J. and skip-per of Adamey III; Doug Pyattof Bethlehem, Pa., and severalothers including a networktelevision producer. A fewcame to the unusual hobbythrough steam railroading oran interest in maritime histo-ry.

Roth said today’s steamlaunches are registered as gasboats because states simplydon’t have a category forsteamboats.

Most steamboats run be-tween 25-30 feet in length.Most can navigate in shallowwater, down to 22 inches deep.

With a full firebox, the S.L.Redbud can cruise up to 15miles with stoking required,maybe every 10-20 minutes.And, at a top speed of between5 and 6 mph, this vessel won’tget you to the church on time.But, then, who cares? Steam-boating is not about speed orcompetition. It’s about com-munity and enjoying river

travel at its own pace.While staying at River ’s

Edge Cottages and Camp-ground, steamboaters enjoyedday trips — via Otter Creek —to downtown Vergennes forshopping; they also includedmini-cruises along the shoreof Lake Champlain, althoughsome of the skippers dislikethe lake’s big swells when theweather gets dicey. A few haveventured as far south asWhitehall, N.Y.

“We were on the waterwhen the big thunderstormhit July 21,” said Steeves. “Wegot back to the River ’s Edgedock in a hurry.”

In the old days, steamlaunches came in a variety oflengths and were used to fer-ry passengers on rivers andlakes. Similar launches were acommon sight on Lake Cham-plain and Lake George untilWorld War I.

Steamboaters planned towrap up their get togetherJuly 25. But there was an op-portunity for one more cruiseon Otter Creek.

Looking at his steam gauge,Capt. Roth of the Adamey IIIsaid, “I need about 100 psi onthe gauge, then, I am ready togo.”

“Oh,” he slyly made anaside, “I should mention thatour unofficial cocktail is thegin and tonic — in honor ofBogart and Hepburn and TheAfrican Queen.

Well, here’s to you, steam-boaters! Bon voyages. There isnothing half so much worthdoing as simply messingabout in boats.
