Shaun Godair: most likely to succeed By Lou Varricchio [email protected]

Shaun Godair, a sophomore at Rutland High School, isn’t your typical high school student. The son of Bill and Charlene Godair of Mendon, Godair displays a maturity not frequently en-countered among his peers. But not unlike most male teens, he likes pizza, video games, and an action-packed life.

It may look like Godair has a lot on his plate, but he seems to relish it—he has been a member of the RHS Raiders football team, serves as a cadet offi cer in the Rutland Squadron of the U.S. Civil Air Patrol, and is poised to earn his Eagle Scout rank as a member of Pittsford BSA Troop 110. In addition to his uniformed commitments, Godair enjoys whitewater rafting, outdoor adventuring, and a variety of similar leadership-building activities.

During the month of June, the young Godair bunked at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas were he served as an active member of a unique Civil Air Patrol aviation education program that exposed him to everything “fl ight” related—from jet cockpit communications to air traffi c control.

By Lou Varricchio [email protected]

Vermont’s largest solar-electric array, and the largest station of its kind north of New Jersey, will start generat-ing electricity from sunlight sometime in early December. Christened the Ferrisburgh Solar Farm, the 15-acre energy station—located on the west side of U.S. Route 7 adjacent to the VUHS athletic fi elds—will “harvest” 1-megawatt of electricity from the Sun that will power the equivalent of nearly 200 homes. The pho-tovoltaic electricity gener-ated will be fed, via electrical inverter, to Green Mountain Power and the power grid.

Built and maintained by Ferrisburgh Solar Farm, LLC—a new project devel-oped by Pomerleau Real Es-tate of Burlington—owner Er-nest A. Pomerleau conceived of the big solar array and was the driving force in making the ambitious commercial venture a reality.

“If you think about what we’re trying to accomplish here,” said Steve Ploesser, vice president of construction management for Pomerleau, “we’re trying to take sunlight and absorb as much of it as we can because it’s the sun-light that activates the elec-trons in the silicon cells. The electrons are moving, they jump on to the wires embed-ded in the silicon and they

Ludlow Armory transformed into a community focal point

Following its initial review of the Ludlow Armory and Tank Barn construction project, Ludlow Town Manager Frank Heald provided an update to the con-struction and get an estimated date when the project would be completed.

Pictured is the area where a sidewalk will be installed from the Ludlow Elementary School to the front door of the new dining room in the main Armory building.

Heald noted that the sidewalk will have electric cable embedded in it to melt snow on it for the safety of the students and faculty travelling from either the high school or elementary school.

New data from the 2009 American Com-munity Survey shows that as the Great Re-cession began to take its toll on Vermont’sfamilies in 2009, over 16,000 Vermont chil-dren were living in conditions that make itdifficult for them to prosper and thrive.

“If there’s one thing Vermonters can agreeon, it’s that all children deserve the same op-

portunities in life,” said Carlen Finn, execu-tive director of Voices for Vermont’s Chil-dren. “Their future and that of Vermont de-pends on whether we ensure all kids have ac-cess to the strong fundamental buildingblocks: healthy nutrition, safe and stablehousing, solid educational foundations, andhealth care services.”

The census reserach showsthat growing up in persistentpoverty in Vermont poseshigh risks to early childhoodhealth and development.Economic insecurity oftenleads to serious and pro-longed stress, from a varietyof factors: family tensionsover a lost job, loss of hous-ing or reliable transporta-tion, food insecurity, or evenchanges in caregivers. Overtime, poverty can becometoxic to a child’s emotionaland cognitive development,leading to lifelong problemsin learning, behavior, andboth physical and mentalhealth.

In 2009, 19 percent of Ver-mont children under the ageof 6 were living in poverty aswere 13 percent of all chil-dren.

When comparing theserates to Vermont seniors (7.8percent) and working-ageadults (11.5 percent), itshows that the younger theperson in Vermont, the morelikely he or she is living inpoverty.

Part 2:Editor’s note: This is part of occasional series about Bigfoot and Champ

sightings in Vermont and New York.A group of amateur researchers are searching the north woods

of Vermont and New York for a strange woodland creature, longthought to be extinct, popularly known in folklore as Bigfoot orSasquatch. In the North Country of New York, New England andQuebec, the creature is known by its Abenaki name, Wejua.

Is Wejua a hominoid? The majority of biologists scoff at the ideathat a large “ape”, a close relative to mankind, still populates thewoodlands of North America.

Hominoids are members of biology’s superfamily of primates;it includes both apes and humans. So, based upon the details ofdozens of eyewitness accounts in New York and Vermont since the1600s, if a living (or dead) Wejua is ever produced, it will most like-ly be classified as an hominoid by science.

Bigfoot or Wejua sightings are the focus of the NorthernSasquatch Research Society based in Hudson Falls, N.Y. Its mem-bers include Frank Siecienski of Hubbardton, Brian Gosselin ofWhitehall, Cliff South of South Glens Falls, and John Pearson andBill Brann of Glens Falls.

Over the next several weeks, in multiple parts and through thevoices of NSRS researchers themselves, we’ll report on spine-tin-gling accounts of Bigfoot in our region.

Former Whitehall police offi-cer Brian Gosselin was an eye-witness to a now famous inci-dent on Abair Road in Hamp-ton, N.Y., near the Vermont stateline, across from Fair Haven.

Gosselin has been featured onseveral national television doc-umentaries about Bigfoot.

We continue our multi-partinterview with NSRS re-searchers about Bigfoot sight-ings in our region:

L.V. Brian, Bigfoot and Yetiresearchers around the wordknow you. You’re an eyewitnessto an amazing event that oc-cured back in 1976 in Whitehall,N.Y. Can you and Bill Brannplease talk about it?

Gosselin: Well, I was aWhitehall patrolman in 1976. Iwas in my patrol car when an-other car comes barreling down

Williams Street. It came to a dead stop right next to me. The guysin the car were clearly agitated. They told me they had just wit-nessed a weird creature on Abair Road.

“We need help,” one of them said to me. “We gotta get this andwe gotta get that.” They were extremely excited.

I looked at them. Seriously, I replied, “what kind of stuff are guyson? Are you drinking?”

They were serious all right. They left me there and then went tothe Petco station—it used to be an all-night garage— to pick up afriend Mark Penny.

Brann: Ok, I’ll pick up the story at this point. All three young men went back to Abair Road. I later questioned

Mark Gosselin about what he and the others saw. He said that whatthey saw was a “large shadow” moving out into the field. (Thelandscape has changed quite a bit around there today.) They im-mediately drove back to Whitehall and then talked to Brian again.

Gosselin: These guys were serious. Mark was wound up; therewas really something out there. So I called my father, a fellow po-lice officer, who had just gone off duty. I also called the New YorkState Police and the sheriff’s department. Two state troopers, asheriff, my father, Mr. Penny, my brother Paul, and Marty went outthere. When they returned there (Abair Road) they all saw the samething at the same time. They had, what ever it was, in a spotlight...it was maybe 500 to 600 yards away.

You could see a monstrosity going up along the hedge row, thenover a fence, and into a patch of thick briar and thornapple. That’swhere it disappeared. But this wasn’t the end of it. It continued intothe next day.

Bill Brann interviewed the eyewitnesses later. Bill, can you jumpin and continue?

Brann: Ok. Brian heard a report on the police scanner that something was

going on. Now the Gosselins only live a few miles from Abair Road.So, Paul Gosselin and his father had walked out into the field. Theywere then greeted by a tremendous vocalization that trumpetedacross the field! Father and son moved back to the safety of theedge of the road.

Meanwhile a deputy sheriff was out in the field with a search-light. The light fell on the thing.

The deputy blurted out: “What the hell is that?!” (He later de-nied saying that.) They all knew exactly what it was. But they nev-er labeled it (as Bigfoot).

I was there for a long time interviewing everyone to get the sto-ry. What they said, as I was told, was that it was between seven-and eight-feet tall. It had long hair in the back and walked with aslight hunch. Because it was dark outside, they couldn’t distinguishany fingers, hands (or other details).

Ah, but this wasn’t the end of it! Brian Gosselin can tell you allabout his experience (his close encounter) on the following night.

To be continued.Check It Out: If you’ve seen Bigfoot in your area, have something un-

usual to report, or are simply interested in learning more about Sasquatchresearch in Vermont and New York, contact Bill Brann of NSRS at [email protected] or call 518-747-9134. All sighting information iskept strictly confidential.

Black holes represent the wonder and mystery ofmodern astronomy. These sinkholes in space haveinspired a whole new field of deep-space research.

Nothing, not even light rays, can escape the gravitation-al clutches of black holes. They are deformities in thespacetime continuum and are created by highly compactmasses and then fed by cosmic debris for millions, evenbillions of years.

If humans could travel down a black hole (not reallyvery likely despite sci-fi tales to the contrary), they’d endup—where? No one really knows. What’s inside theseblack holes? Do they emerge somewhere—or somewhen—else? If we ever know for sure, it will be thanks to mathe-matics and observation. The super gravity field lines andextreme cosmic radiations around these holes would oblit-erate all life, so we’re not likely to ever get too close tothese weird objects.

This year began a complex effort by the Harvard-Smith-sonian Center for Astrophysics to electronically linkdozens of radio astronomical observatories around theworld to perform a very daring task—photograph a blackhole for the first time in history.

When completed around the year 2020, the proposedEvent Horizon Telescope, or EHT, will span our globe us-ing a process called Very Long Baseline Interferometry.VLBI enables simultaneous observations of deep-space ob-jects by multiple telescopes. In the case of the EHT projectnow underway, the radio telescopes are being combined tocreate a single, giant telescope on Earth. Thus, the scope’ssize equals the extreme separation between the telescopes.

Currently international observatories on five continents,including one at the U.S. South Pole Station, are teamingup as the key components of EHT.

The target of EHT is the Milky Way’s supermassiveblack hole known as Sagittarius A* or Sadge-A Star forshort. This object, discovered in 1974, cannot be observedin the optical spectrum; this means no human eye can eversee it.

Sage-A* can only be observed in regions of the electro-magnetic spectrum that are both far above and below thevisible spectrum—these regions include microwaves(above or longer wavelengths) and x-rays and gamma rays(below or shorter wavelengths).

Sadge-A* is a highly active radio source at the bull’s eyeof our galaxy’s core; it is 26,000 light years away from us.

From Earth, it is located onthe border of the constella-tions Sagittarius and Scor-pius. And just like everygalaxy we observe in deepspace, our Milky Way has animmense gravity hole at itscenter.

How big is Sadge-A*?Well, it’s big on a mind-numbing scale. The MilkyWay’s mother of all blackholes is estimated to have amass equivalent to 4 millionsuns. The stellar mass iscompressed into a small vol-ume—and that’s essentially what makes the immense“dark star”.

Sadge-A*’s event horizon, the boundary around theblack hole, is 24 million kilometers (15 million miles) indiameter. It’s so large that it is 20 microarcseconds acrossin the sky or one part per 10 billion of a circle. As seenfrom Earth, it’s approximately the size of one of Apollo 14astronaut Alan Shepard’s golf balls left on the Moon in1971.

Because the gravity of Sadge-A* bends light, it acts as agiant lens. So when the EHT array finally assembles thedata to create an image of Sadge-A*, it will be more of asilhouette of the black hole, not the actual object. And theobject will appear larger than it actually is.

Astronomers predict that Sadge-A* will look lopsideddue to its hyper spinning; light rays approaching Earthwill be brightest when compared to those traveling in theopposite direction.

What’s in the Sky: Look for Comet Hartley 2 in thenight sky this week. The 6th magnitude comet is visible inbinoculars during the evening high in Perseus. On Oct. 20,the comet will be closest to Earth. For an online sky mapof the comet’s path see:http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/0103P/2010.html.

Portrait of a black hole

Seeing Stars

Existential question: if it walks like a duck, but isn’tlabeled as a duck, is it still a duck? I’d say yes, butthat’s because I’m just an amateur researcher, not a

highly-skilled professional in the general field of educa-tion and the specific subfield of the Student-Who-Won’t-Learn (SWWL) phenomenon.

With one exception, cited in an earlier column, theSWWL label is verboten for this subject. Instead, real re-searchers are required to use phrases like “student assent”and “relational power”.

You’ll find the former in the subtitle of “I Won’t Learnfrom You, the Role of Assent in Learning”, a 1992 teachers-are-guilty little book by educator Herbert Kohl and you’llfind the latter in “When Students Have Relational Power”,a 2006 paper by academic researcher John Smyth.

Kohl explains that student refusal to learn stems fromsuch teachers’ faults as using the sexist “he” instead of theinclusive “people” when speaking, and Smyth explainsthat student refusal to learn stems from the teachers’ supe-rior position in the classroom.

The tragedy of my younger life, I now understand, wasmy subservient behavior in the classroom, my failure to re-sist various teacher “isms” and my deferential willingnessto accept subject-error correction from a dominant single-white-female authority figure.

Had I been more conversant with social justice, I wouldhave saved face by not making errors trying to learn mathand reading, by the passive device of choosing not to learn(missing out) and the active device of classroom disrup-tion (misbehavior). Consider the “face” argument as de-scribed in the SAGE Handbook of Curriculum and Instruc-tion, Connelly et al., 2008.

Here’s a quote from p. 204: “To try to learn somethingnew with a teacher is to display one’s self to the teacher asincompletely competent, and these slightly damaged per-formances by the learner in tandem with the teacher maywell be visible to fellow students as well. Thus, the poten-tially audienced character of every action by a student thatwas previously mentioned above presents the potentialrisk of face threat to a student at every moment in whichthe student attempts to learn something new. Taking therisk of face threat, then, is necessary if one is to attempt anew skill. And, depending on what Dewey (1938, 1963)called ‘the total social set-up of the classroom’ (p.45), stu-dents’ attempts to learn can be more or less risky in termsof face threat”.

If I’d known that I’d never have gone to the chalkboardto perform before my 30 or so classmates when so orderedby my SWWF classroom overseer: the SAGE manual teach-es the teacher not to achieve student proficiency by correc-tion of error. Let them sit there, missing out, students-who-won’t-learn, making no errors, but with intact face.And I actually believed that the humiliation of getting itwrong was an incentive for getting it right. How primitive

it was, then. The ancient Romans

called surly citizen pacifica-tion bread-and-circuses; inmodern public education,it’s called money and music.

Not all educators supportthis incentivization; somecall it bribery. The literatureis unclear on the subject ofactual Students-Who-Won’t-Learn behavior: is it activeclassroom disruption, neces-sitating teacher abandon-ment of the other 15 in theclass to try to deal with one(ejection to the principal’s office no longer allowed in pub-lic school) or is it just passive classroom disengagement? Ifso, the teacher can still devote effort to the 15 who have“assented” (a little Kohl lingo, there) to learn somethingand thereby avoid missing out on a free (well, taxpayer-funded) opportunity.

What is more interesting is the question about teachercompetence (and accountability for student achievement)it raises. If the SWWL’s are paid or entertained to demon-strate proficiency, does the teacher thereby get more ac-countability points and merit pay? What about the equallyskilled teacher in the district which chooses not to bribe–oops, make that “incentivize”-- dismissal for incompe-tence? What about dismissal for SWWL’s, not their adultsupervisors? Or is that forbidden by the 28th Amendment:“No SWWL, whether actively disruptive or passively dis-engaged, shall be dismissed from the classroom”?

Closing note: I tried really, really hard to appreciate the“Forgive-us-Father-for-we-have-sinned” apologia of Mr.Kohl and other educators for the sins of dealing insensi-tively with SWWL’s, but eventually I refused to assent tohis teaching.

While I expect a really high grade for trying really hard,I won’t reject my own personal SWWL label for refusing tolearn. Wearing that label earns me the compassion ofWilliam Ayers, highly skilled education critic/writer andProgressive activist/domestic terrorist/explosives expert.He writes, in a blurb on the Kohl book, of the oppressionand brutality SWWL’s experienced and commendsSWWL’s, (that now includes me) for “acting reasonablyand intelligently in the face of brutality and craziness”.

I had never realized that I had meekly endured condi-tions of brutality and craziness at my old F.W. PenningtonElementary School. Example: the desk-chair combinations,in rows, were fixed to the floor.

Money, music, misbehavior, and missing out

With the signing of a new contract with Hydro-Quebec, which will provide Vermonters with abaseload supply of clean, renewable energy for

26 years, Vermonters’ focus on electricity supply optionshas been once again renewed. That’s good, because we facecritical decisions in the coming months and years.

The Hydro-Quebec contract is the best deal we havesigned in quite some time. In the competitive solicitationprocess conducted last year, none of the renewable-basedoffers performed close to this deal’s combination of price,firmly scheduled delivery, volume, credit quality, reliabilityand term. Bottom line, this is a very good contract for Ver-mont’s economy, environment and reliability.

The expected 6-cent starting price is akin to our existingcontract, and a very attractive price for a firm, renewable,low-emission power supply. More than 90 percent of theenergy will be renewable.

The contract will also prevent large swings in the cost ofthe energy purchased from HQ. The contract will benefitour customers by adjusting the price downward if futurepower market prices decline, and limiting upward increas-es if market prices increase.

Our HQ energy purchases at Central Vermont Public Ser-vice will be a bit smaller than in the past, which means wecan continue to support more local renewable projects re-gardless of the outcome of the Vermont Yankee relicensingand contract negotiations. Together with our own genera-tion, small power producers and contracts for new renew-able energy, these smaller projects will help Vermont main-tain what we believe is the cleanest power supply in the na-tion.

Air emissions at the source of our generation are mini-mal. In 2009, just 0.1 percent of CVPS’s identifiable energydeliveries were generated by burning oil. Just over 3 per-cent of our supply came from non-specified sourcesthrough ISO-New England market purchases or non-renew-able purchases from HQ. We didn’t knowingly purchaseany coal-fired energy. In contrast, more than half the elec-tricity generated in the United States comes from dirty coal.

We still have plenty of work to do to complete our powerportfolio – developing and expanding our own renewablegeneration and signing contracts with small and medium-sized local power suppliers. We also have plans regardlessof whether Vermont Yankee is relicensed.

Meantime, we’re also focusing on our transportationemissions, which are of equal concern. CVPS has steadilyexpanded its reliance on hybrid and hybrid-electric vehi-cles, and already has rate options in place to help pur-chasers of the next generation of all-electric vehicles oper-ate them efficiently.

CVPS plug ’n go™ was created to help hybrid-electricand all-electric vehicle owners charge their cars at off-peakrates, which provides electric-powered transportation forthe equivalent of about a dollar per gallon of gas. It couldalso play a big role in reducing Vermont’s vehicle emis-sions, which dwarf emissions from our electricity supply.To learn more, visit www.cvps.com/plugngo.

As hungry visitors attended thedowntown Chili Cook-Off in Ludlowlast week, there were two other eventsthat attracted locals and tourists alike.

The second event was the dedicationof a newly renovated town park toDaniel Kesman.

Kesman played a significant roll inhelping to build the Ludlow communi-ty in recent decades. He was at one timethe director of the Black River Histori-cal Society. He also served the commu-nity as selectman, chairman of the Lud-low Planning Commission, president ofthe Windsor County Bar Association,Ludlow town attorney, town agent, and

municipal judge. He was also active inthe Ludlow Rotary Club.

The park was originally dedicated toKesman on June 21, 1988 —a year afterhe passed away of a heart attack.

Sadly, after 22 years, the park neededto be reworked. A local organization,Streetscapes, held several fund raisingevents between 2009 and 2010 as well asa generous donation by the Ludlow En-terprise Fund.

The New England Deck and PatioCompany carried out the park pavingwork. The firm also donated the mate-rial and labor for an extra walkway dec-oration that enhances the cobbled pave-ment surface.

Streetscape employees held a special

raffle to raise the needed funds. Rafflewinners were announced at the dedica-tion event last week. The first placewinner was Robert Pfieifer of Somets,Conn., for $1,000, the second place win-ner was Bonnie Bercowetz of Ludlowfor $500, and the third place winner wasDan Roman of Meriden, CT for $250.

Kesman’s widow, Sylvia and her chil-dren Sheryl and Stephen and her grand-children, were on hand to celebrate thenew dedication.

In Vermont we live hap-pily content within aseason—to a point.

When the point is about to bepassed, the season changes.Good. We love it.

Regarding seasons, I cravechange; regarding my dailyactivities, not so much.

I eat lunch at the sameplace every day I’m able, andI’m able most every day. Imake my bed every morning,brush my teeth three times aday, and exercise every day, acouple times a day. I foresee a day when I won’t eat lunch atthe same place every day because businesses don’t last for-ever, but mostly all the things I do every day I will do everyday until my last.

If you go to the gym I go to, about the same time span Igo, on a regular basis, and have the slightest ability to per-ceive, you know I read the newspapers on the cardio ma-chines every day. On the Stairmaster I ply open the papers,which depending on my interest in that day’s content takesme 15 to sometimes a little more than 30 minutes to read.I’m off the Stairmaster after thirty minutes, and I set andcontinue my cardio on a stationary bike, continuing to scourthe final bits of the paper, or cracking open and starting onthe New York paper. If I finish it before the hour, I read on abook I’ve brought.

This newspaper reading. It’s what I do, every day. I loveto do it. It’s my little thing. It’s my pleasure. It’s a habit, a

weakness, call it an affectation if you’d like; I don’t carewhat the heck it is, as long as it is that I read my paperswhile I exercise my heart every day on the Stairmaster andstationary bike—damn it.

A week ago a gym regular who also brings and reads aNew York paper everyday, walked over to me up on theStairmaster and asked if he could see my paper for “just aminute.” Just a minute, is what he said. He’d forgotten tobuy one that day.

I was curious. Will he actually just “look” at my paperand for “just a minute,” while standing beside me, andhand it back, or will he read my paper for a great deal morethan a minute, on his favorite stationary bike, which isacross the way and down from mine? And if he does readthe entire thing, will he bring it back as soon as he’s done,so if I’m done reading my Vermont paper I can continuereading with the New York paper, the way I so love to doevery day of the year?

By the way, the guy is a good guy, we chat occasionally.He certainly knows I read my New York paper at the gymevery day.

What does the guy do when I hand him the paper? Hetakes it to his bike, places his towel on the handlebars, setsthe paper on his towel, settles in, starts spinning his legs,and reads. And reads. And reads. He ain’t just taking aquick look.

When he’s completely finished he turns to the vacant biketo his left, and sets the paper on the seat. He ain’t bringingit back, at least not until he’s done his workout. Holy crap!

I finish the paper and start on my book. Freaks me a littleto be reading out of my regular sequence, but I hang in. My30 minutes is up on the Stairmaster before the dude is com-pleted his spin, so I go over and politely ask if he’s “all set,”with my paper to which he, while streams of sweat meander

down his ruddy cheeks replies “Oh yeah, I was waiting forsomeone to come past here so they could bring it over toyou.”

“Oh,” I nod, having already turned, paper in hand, to mystationary bike.

Is the man’s behavior selfish? Or am I selfish feeling like Iwon’t lend him my paper the next time he asks, if only onprincipal?

I don’t mind I wasn’t able to read my paper when I want-ed to, I just wonder, if I had a kid, would I teach he or shethat if they forgot their paper on a certain day they shouldnot borrow someone else’s, but instead, they should gowithout that day, or wait and buy themselves one the nexttime they had the chance.

At least I got a kick out of the guy.Funny thing, a couple days after, another guy, short, loud,

always spoutin off about politics and how Stowe residentsare constantly getting screwed, came barreling toward meand said “Hey Rusty, I forgot to buy the New York paper to-day, let me borrow yours.” I said no.

No harm done all around.

REGIONAL CALENDAR OF EVENTS

GodairFrom page 1

Returning home from Lackland, Godair prepared to tack-le the heavy lifting portion of his Eagle project on Aug. 28.

As a dedicated Boy Scout since the age of 7, Godair waslooking forward to finishing his Eagle Scout project. The re-quired community service project helps pave the way forteens to become Eagle Scouts. But before the project is com-pleted and before becoming an Eagle, a scout must meet sev-eral requirements including record keeping and an appear-ance before a scouting review board.

Godair ’s Eagle Scout project was ambitious as well aspractical: he planned to repair the long-neglected MendonTrail to its original appearance. The only way to do it wasby clearing brush and preparing the trail bed so that localamblers and joggers could enjoy it again. The old trail is eas-ily found now at the Mendon Recreation Field on NotchRoad.

“The trail was in pretty bad shape,” said Godair. “In fact,I’d go as far as to say it was nearly abandoned! I felt it wasa nice trail that could provide a lot of outdoor exercise op-portunities for Mendon residents of all ages.”

Once he focused attention on repairing the path, Godairhad to assemble a team of workers.

Using his leadership skills learned through Scouting andCAP, Godair didn’t have much trouble attracting scout andcadet friends to lend their shoulders for some invigoratingheavy lifting.

“We cleared brush, cut branches, and pulled rotting logsoff the trail,” Godair said. “The overall sprucing up wastopped off by my team applying new paint blazes to markthe trail and then a final grooming of the path.”

Godair spent approximately 135 hours planning and exe-cuting the quarter-mile-long project. He began by contact-ing Mendon officials about his ideas and then enlisted 12Boy Scouts, two CAP cadets with tools, to pitch in.

By all accounts the teens had a lot of fun, but more im-portantly, they discovered something deeper about them-selves—that the idea of rolling up your sleeves to completea job provides not only a good feeling, but a sense of ac-complishment and self worth.

Teens like Godair prove that with determination and hardwork, you can achieve your dreams—and make a real dif-ference in the community.

could cause children to trip. Costumes should also be fireproof. Fireproofing Recipe: MIX: 9 oz. boric acid, 4 oz. borax and 1 quart hot water. Saturate fabric and allow to dry. Washing will remove fireproofing, but process may be repeated after washing.

• Costumes should be made of white or light colored material, to be easily seen at night. Reflector patches or strips can also be added to the costume.

• Regular street shoes should be worn as opposed to fancy clown or pirate shoes, etc.

• Props, such as guns or swords, should be made of Styrofoam or cardboard.

• If Jack-o-lanterns are carried, a flashlight should be inside, instead of a candle.

• At least one person in each group should carry a flashlight

MASKS MASKS MASKS • Instead of wearing masks, paint faces

with makeup. • A pply a thin coat of cold cream before

applying the makeup (makeup will come off easier.)

ArmoryFrom page 1

The dining room area,which will seat up to 120people at a sitting, is takingshape quickly.

The rest of the main ar-mory building is on sched-ule. Heald said the weightroom which will have a com-posite rubber floor to ensurethat accidentally droppedweights don’t damage thefloor. He then said the rest-room facilities and the class-room/recreation area willbe separately accessed sothat both student activitiescould be taking place in therest of the building whilecitizen use of the classroom.recreation area occurred.

Over in the tank barn, thedivision between the sec-tions to be used by LPC-TVand Black River GoodNeighbors Services is inplace. Heald stressed theimportance of the insulationthat had been installed inthe tank barn to reduce heat-ing costs. The piping to in-stall plumbing in the barnhas been completed andawaits connection to themain on Main Street.

One factor Heald stressedwas the name of the main

building facility. What usedto be known as the armorywill become the LudlowCommunity Center to un-derscore the plans to makethis a facility available forboth educational and recre-ational use by Ludlow resi-dents.

ArrayFrom page 1

shoot up to the main line.”The big array, when com-

pleted, will not “blind” auto-mobile drivers descendingWoodman Hill as some resi-dents have suggested. Instead,the dark panels are designed toabsorb as much sunlight as istechnologically possible.

“These panels have underthree percent reflectivity,”Ploesser noted, “so there isn’tmuch sunlight to reflect here.”

The alternative energy engi-neering firm Alteris of Con-necticut provided the technicalskill to create a solar array thatworks in cloudy Vermont.

“We went to the profession-als,” said Ploesser. “They haveexpertise in building solar ar-rays.”

According to Brian Waxler,executive vice president ofPomerleau, most of the designand construction work is beingdone by Vermonters.

“The Alteris group we’reworking with is out of Montpe-lier,” Waxler said. “At all timeswe try to use Vermont people.We want to keep the moneyhere.”

Solar energy and Vermont is-n’t always an intuitive pairing,but Ploesser said there’s plentyof sunlight, even on a cloudyday, to keep the silicon cellsgenerating electricity. EvenVermont’s heavy snowfallshouldn’t prevent the solarfarm from “harvesting” theSun.

“There a misconceptionabout photovoltaics,” Waxlernoted. “You don’t necessarilyneed direct sunlight. Germanyand Spain are the leaders cur-rently and those nations haveless direct sunlight than Ver-mont. Of course Arizona has ahigher efficiency but we cangenerate a lot of electricity fromthe Sun here.”

According to Ploesser, evenVermont’s heavy snowfallwon’t stop the Ferrisburgh So-lar Farm from producing elec-tricity.

“Snow will slide right off thepanels,” Ploesser said. “It’s likea metal roof. We even left roomfor snow to accumulate. If it

gets above four feet, we can geta plow in between the arrayrows to remove the whitestuff.”

The array panels are modu-lar, each panel connects to an-other with wiring that is akin toa home extension chord.

“At the middle of the arrayset,” Ploesser said, “the wiringgoes underground through aseries of underground conduitsto the inverter. There are no bat-teries involved, no electricalstorage here.”

To help educate the publicabout the benefits of solar ener-gy and the Ferrisburgh SolarFarm in particular, TraceySchoonmaker, Pomerleau de-velopment coordinator, is cre-ating an information kiosk atthe array site that will explainthe marvels of science and en-gineering behind photovoltaictechnology. Schoonmaker saidVUHS science students willalso be involved with the solarfarm project, making it a perfectpartnership with an energylearning lab located next doorto the high school.

Waxler noted that the solarfarm construction work isahead of schedule thanks togood planning and (mostly)good weather. He hopes the ar-ray will start generating elec-tricity by early December.

“Pomerleau is mostly ashopping center developer,”Waxler said, “so this is some-thing new for us but we havethe attorneys, engineers andbuilders to accomplish the job.We know how to go about theprocess. That’s why we werethe first ones to be able to getthe permit in and get it ap-proved.”

Right now, there are a lot offolks banking on alternative en-ergy. While there’s risk in put-ting your energy eggs in onebasket, there’s still a lot ofpromise.

Perhaps the best endorse-ment for solar power camefrom America’s brightest in-ventor, Thomas Edison—”I’dput my money on the Sun andsolar energy. What a source ofpower! I hope we don’t have towait until oil and coal run outbefore we tackle that.”

In a tightly contested struggle through-out, the Hartford High School boys' soc-cer team recently traveled to Springfieldto take on the defending Division II statechampion Cosmos, coming away with a hard-fought, double-overtime tie.

Playing without their arguably their best play-er in senior-captain Rory Skehan, the Hurricaneshad to look for other means of scoring, thoughgoals and even good scoring chances were hardto come by in this match. Both teams struggledearly to generate any offense, with most of theplay in the middle of the field.

As the first half wore on, however, Hartfordmanaged to get a little offense going as up-and-coming freshman Noah Wilson generated a cou-ple shots on Springfield keeper Jordan Pfenning,who was up to the task. In the final 10 minutes ofthe half the Cosmos started making some noise oftheir own, with junior Colin Brady knocking aheader just over the crossbar off a corner kick.

Arguably the best scoring opportunity of thehalf came when Hartford freshman Jed Sass ri-fled a low shot from 15 feet out with just underthree minutes left, forcing Pfenning to dive to his

right to knock the shot away andend a frustrating first half offen-sively for both teams.

In the second half, both teamscame out more aggressive andstarted connecting on passesbetter, as Brady got off anotherearly shot for the Cosmos, beforethe Hurricanes came back with

three consecutive corner kicks, but the pressureproducing no shots on goal.

However, the Hurricanes finally broke throughat the 24-minute mark when Wilson on a beauti-ful play, dribbled past three defenders along thebaseline to the left of the goal, and calmly pusheda shot inside the far post to give Hartford the lead.

To the Cosmos credit they kept working hardand tied the match up with just under six minutesleft in regulation, when Brady pounced on a looseball in front off a corner kick and snuck it underthe crossbar to force the extra session.

In overtime, Hartford had a couple quickchances to end it off two corner kicks, but one pro-duced no shot and the other was headed over thecrossbar by Wilson. The only Springfield shot ofthe first OT went well wide of the left post.

In the second overtime Brady almost ended itfor the Cosmos as he hustled to catch up to abouncing ball towards the goal, but Hartfordkeeper Jon Alvin came out of the net and stuffed

the play before Brady could get a shot off. On an-other play, Springfield junior Tom Kendall got ashot off from the left of the box, but it sailed overthe crossbar.

Both teams had one more chance to bag thewinner off corner kicks, but in each case the head-ers went well wide of the net, ending the matchin a 1-1 tie.

"I think both teams have similar styles and skillsets," Springfield coach Paul Kendall said afterthe match. "It was a defensive struggle most of theway, but I think we played better and better as thematch went along and we certainly had a couplechances to end it in overtime.

"Noah Wilson just made a great play to scoretheir goal, but I was happy that we were able tobounce back and get the tie. It is the fifth time thisseason we have come back to tie or win a match,which shows good determination and heart notto give up."

With the tie, (at press time) Hartford moved to5-4-2 on t he season while Springfield moved to7-1-2 on the season, while Hartford moves to 5-4-2.
