BRANDON—In spite of thesoftening real estate market,Vermonters earning the medianincome still cannot afford themedian-priced home, accord-ing to a new report releasedJune 21.
The report, “Between a Rockand a Hard Place: Housing andWages in Vermont”, is the latestin a series that tracks housingcosts in relation to Vermonters'incomes.
For the last several years, Ver-mont's tight housing marketshave driven up prices whilewages, particularly those em-ploying the most Vermonters,
have not kept pace. During the Great
2009-10 Recession, evenas home prices dropped,opportunities for buyerswere limited due to highfees and higher interestrates for buyers withmoderate credit scores.
“The real estate mar-ket was helped this yearby low interest rates anda generous federal taxcredit,” said Sarah Carpenter ofthe Vermont Housing FinanceAgency. “The problem wasthose low rates weren't avail-able to many buyers and the tax
credit wasn't available at clos-ing to help pay for the higherdown payments and feeslenders now require. Few firsttime buyers can save up the
down payment and clos-ing costs needed to buya home even if the medi-an price dropped”
The median purchaseprice of a home in Ver-mont dropped by 5 per-cent to $190,000, the firstsubstantial fall onrecord. A Vermonthousehold would needan annual income of$57,000, and an estimat-
ed $15,000 for down payment,fees and closing costs, to affordthat home.
Federal stimulus programsdid nothing for average Ver-
monters—the number of peo-ple who are homeless in Ver-mont increased 22 percent sincethe recession began in earnest in2009.
“Vermonters continue toneed affordable housing andthe state's economy needs hous-ing construction in order to helpit emerge from this recession,"said Rob Naylor of Naylor &Breen Builders in Brandon.“Our company has seen first-hand the effects of the real es-tate market, but because of theprograms designed to fund theconstruction and renovation ofhousing for lower-income resi-
dents, we were able to keep acrew working to build the unitsthis report clearly shows areneeded. These projects havecreated permanently affordablehousing, while also keeping myguys employed.”
One family's story illustratesthe difficulty accessing both therental and homeownershipmarket.
Janet Green, her husbandand son lived in an apartmentin Richmond, but were com-muting to work in Burlington.
“The commuting had be-come a lot for us, and we want-ed to raise our son in Burlingtonso we started looking for a placeto rent. But it was so expen-sive.”

A Decade Serving the Community: 1999-2009
More than a century ago, a rapidly urbanizingUnited States (the U.S. Census of 1880 foundfarmers a minority in the labor force for the
first time) decided, through the political process, thatfarming was too important to be left to the farmers to man-age. In a tradition going back to the ancient pharaohs, gov-ernment was seen as the best way to control the food sup-ply and its price for consumers.
Various methods have been used saince our post-CivilWar turning point—that is, that our deflationary monetarypolicy, surplus exports, a fixed parity formula, floatingparity, deficiency payments, emergency aid would some-how do the trick.
As farmers responded with soaring productivity gains,over supply and inadequate producer prices have been thecentral problem.
In the early decades of the 20th century, farmer-quitsweren’t a problem—indeed, as late as 1962, the USDA wasstill preaching about a surplus of farmers and a laborshortage for industry. However, since the 1930s, the strate-gy has been of one of providing the least amount of aidneeded to keep farmers producing, not quitting—this toensure enough commodity supply to keep consumer foodprices from rising as fast as urbanite incomes.
Adjusted for inflation, farm income continues to dropwhile urban income doesn’t, so food-spending-as-a-per-cent-of-income for urbanites continues to shrink. Fromnear 25 percent in the 1950s, it’s below 10 percent today.
The 1951 $1/gallon of milk should cost $8.26 today. Itdoesn’t. Milk left the farm gate at parity back then. Today,it doesn’t.
Dairymen now lose money on milk production. Withoutsome subsidy, some might quit—supply might drop andretail prices might rise and consumers would go political.
The 20th century turning point came in the early 1950s,with a governmental decision to dump the full parity for-mula and go to partial parity.
Elected on a platform including that policy plank, Presi-dent Dwight Eisenhower ’s Ag Secretary Benson declaredthat “parity was costing the government (translation: ur-banite taxpayers) too much money.” Read it yourself in“Problems of Plenty”, an ag-economics history by DouglasHurt.
In a time when “we’re waiting for the farm vote” meant
it still mattered (today, it doesn’t) an urbanite-orientedcampaign based on the “crisis” of soaring consumer costswas needed. After all, butter in 1951 sold for 86cents/pound, twice its price of 1941.
Folksinger Woody Guthrie was enlisted to rewrite anearlier tune with new lyrics describing “One pound of but-ter for two pounds of gold” and it made the pop charts atno. 15 the year “Tennessee Waltz” was no. 1.
Guthrie didn’t sing about the growth in urbanite in-come: average non-farm wage in 1951 at $3732, comparedto $1462 in 1941. Yes, butter doubled, but wages nearlytripled. Food was actually getting cheaper, in terms of thereal measure, minutes-of-work-needed-to-buy.
Read the historical stats for yourself in “The Value of aDollar, 1860-2004” by Scott Derks. A crisis too good towaste (a little Democrat Chicago politics lingo there) hadto be created; it was and it gave birth to the then new farmsubsidy principle: “Just enough to prevent supply reduc-ing producer quits.”
Things might have gone differently. In the late 19th century, the progressives wanted to con-
trol lots of things beyond farming—the then-new utility in-dustry, for example.
The progressives established the Public Utilities Com-mission in 1913. Since then, federal and state governmentshave regulated power and communications producers, buthad to promise them 10 to 12 percent return on investment(ROI) to get the authority.
Why didn’t farming get the same status and the sameROI guarantee? Well, not enough column inches here for afull discussion, but suffice it to say that the progressives(who proclaimed themselves to be above mere politics andideology “nobody in here but us highly-skilled above-av-erage-intelligence managerial-expert technocrats, shoul-dering the burden of governing all you ungrateful lesser-intelligence folks”) were sufficiently politically sensitive torealize that a “10 percent solution” was essential to seizecontrol of the communications and power companies—butit wasn’t needed to conquer a sole-proprietorship farmingculture.
All of this history explains why, in Shakespearean phras-ing, “What’s past is prologue”—since the-‘50s rise of ag-management practice there’s the least amount of consumersubsidy needed to prevent producer quits. This is why
Vermont Gov. Jim Douglasvetoed a money-saving (forurbanites) downward tweakof the current use formulafor farmer subsidy; it willinevitably be overridden byDouglas’ pro-consumerGolden Dome legislativebranch.
For political reasons, thelegislators have decided not to override immediately, butthey have historical precedent and political, demographicarithmetic on their side.
Douglas has the now obsolete notion that a deal oncemade should be honored—and he’ll soon be out of office.
The actual food producers, unlike the power producers,lack the organization and clout to get their 10 percent ROIas a regulated public utility or to get a reasonable price attheir point of sale—such as goods-and-services providerswhich have controlled their own income via supply man-agement: licensure for professionals, production-controlfor businesses.
In Vermont, the now politically dominant and skillfulexurbanite class (mostly the landed gentry leftists) wantsto reside amongst, and drive past, pretty looking farms butis not willing to pay a cent more to keep its bucolic view-shed without actually—ugh—working in it (manure smellsand all).
I’ve seen this movie before in the last reel: the urbanitemajority always wins.
Nationwide such least subsidy needed strategy has beenlong-term successful (exception being the dairy strikes ofthe 1930s). In Vermont, the gentry has always won in thepast. My guess in this current use flap? They’ll win again.
Longtime Vermont resident Martin Harris now lives in Ten-nesee.
What does a person use to bait a woodchuck?
“I hear they like broccoli,” the farm store merchant sug-gested.
I bubbled: “How about cake?” I’ll stop at Hannaford, which is a grocery mart like a Shaw’s,
except where I’m from in Morrisville, Vt., we call it Hanafffff-ford’s, cause the roadside sign’s letter ‘f ’ is always blinking.
I’ll buy some broccoli and have my new Have a Heart trapbaited before ol’ Chucky makes his morning Dunkin’ Donutsrun.”
The extremely friendly farm store merchant nodded a nodhe wished to seem affirming. But my hunch revealed his nodheld an underlying, I’ll–believe–it–when–I–see–it, tone.Dink.
Farm merchants work 12-hour days shuffling around mustyold grain buildings armed with scads of pet and weed-foodinformation they’re itching to unload on anyone who has timeto spend on the pretense of giving a crap.
One wonders how these merchants sustain interest in gen-tleman farm products year in and year out without maintain-ing numerous sorted hobbies on the side; like throwing all-nude Thursday night tea parties with 4-H award winning gi-ant size gourds as guests or catching lightning bugs in theirmouth, until they’ve caught enough the tips of their ears startto glow.
Extremely friendly? Maybe. But look beyond the rolled tomid-forearm sleeves of their flannel shirts and the perfectlyfaded well-worn Carhart workpants—what you’ll come to re-alize is farm store merchants are no more friendly than therest of us.
Oh, yeah? He’ll believe it when he sees it? Well he canpound peat. I’ll show these farm store geeks who can trap. I’llbet not an hour passes between setting the trap, Chucky sur-facing, then catching a whiff of the locally grown organic storebought broccoli I got him and walking into the trap to nibble.
CHA-CHING, down’ll fall the trap flaps along with anyneed for Chucky worrying I’m going to shoot him, or me wor-rying my home will be chewed to bits, bit by bit. I think Imight even, after five years in my home, do some plantingswithout fear they’ll end up nine hundred dollar Woodchuckchum.
I baited, set, and camouflaged the trap, then went about mybusiness.
No luck through the day and evening, but in the morning,though it was hard to tell of what, the Have a Heart was brim-ming full.
I approached the trap slowly to not alarm it’s tenant, andwhen I got within five feet, what I saw all punted inside a thattrap was what looked to be a 55-year-old female divorcee fromMontreal, Canada—all bent up and caught right en inside athat woodchuck cage she was, wearing an above mid-thighcocktail dress, five inch glossy black heels, and a smile. I knewI shouldn’t have shaken garlic and sea salt onto that broccoli.
If I had baited the trap with kale and bean sprouts I’d prob-ably had been staring at a self-conscious American liberal De-
mocrat instead of a Canadian.Don’t know which is worse.
I quizzed: “How’d you endup in there?”
“I just divorced my lawyerhusband, I got $7 million inthe bank and I get $13,000 amonth alimony,” her moodturned less hopeful. “But be-cause my ex is a lawyer, hescored a fantastic lawyer whois in cahoots with the judge, and she ended up awarding myex all four houses. I have nowhere to go.”
Her mood regained a hint of hopefulness. She purred: “So,what are you doing tonight?”
Her toenails were shellacked crimson red, a color perfectlyoffset to her supple skin that bore a tone of tan hard to find,or buy, anywhere, anytime, north of Connecticut. Her skinpat, taught, pulled just so across two set, of prominent anklebones; the skin, drawing inspection up along her amplecalves, and over her symmetrically formed thoroughly mois-turized knee caps, through on the top of her thighs, and in-side the boundary of her hip bones, the area that is the cul-de-sac where real business is done; and my eyes and imagi-nation continued shooting north across her abs, abs that hadno doubt been defined through hours of awkwardly forcedmoves played out in front of garishly gigantic mirrors, absZumbaed to the point they’d seemed ready to shout “grab thesoft mallets Lionel and play us like the marimba we dream tobe,” abs cut like gems, numbered; count em; ab one, ab two,ab three, ab four, all full and hard, each baring it’s own iden-tity, and look! two more half abs, tucked just below her ribcage, set as foundation to her goopy man-made creeple-peeple breasts, whose tips pointed skyward in the directionof her taught neck, perfect chin, nose, and tumble-weed ballof damaged yellow hair.
Aware my inspection was complete, and with an exactingdisplay of bravado, she whimpered, “Emmmaahh… well?”
A pause of not more than a count of two allowed time forour eyes to meet. I answered. “What am I doing tonight? I’mloading you in the truck, driving you 100 miles away, and let-ting your butt go is what I’m doing tonight.”
I loaded her and drove her to the middle of St. Denis inMontreal. I set her free and shouted, “Beware hommes, I justset a filthy rich 50-something year old, lawyer ’s ex wife loose;n’ if she gets her teeth into you you’re gonna regret it, causeshe’s got broccoli garlic breath, bad!”
Moral of this story? Well, there isn’t a moral per se. It’s justa simple story I made up for your enjoyment. Hope it workedon some small scale.

mont inn or investing in country prop-erty, Fraioli offers several tips to iden-tify the right type of property to beginturning the dream into reality:
•Hone in on what you are lookingfor—there is a big difference betweenan inn and a bed & breakfast, a hotel orcabins.
•Decide on the management style—do you want to manage the property ordo you want to hire someone else to?
•Are you looking for a career changeor an entire lifestyle change?
•Get familiar with the entire Ver-mont landscape—the topography isquite varied. Consider if you want to berural, urban, or somewhere in between.n the mountains, on a lake, a river, a
farm?•Do you wish to operate year-round
or seasonally?•With these questions answered,
you can better identify compatibleproperties. Think about them for awhile—how do they feel?
The webmasters advice would beinnkeepers to begin reviewing finan-cial considerations including return oninvestment objectives, the sale of an-other property, qualification for mort-gages, the possible need for Small Busi-ness Administration or Vermont Eco-nomic Development Authority sup-port, or seller financing and lease pur-chase options.

Local students enroll in Governor’s Institutes
VERGENNES—Last weekend, 330 Vermont 9th through11th graders began arriving on college campuses statewidefor a journey into the power of learning. Several AddisonCounty schools are represented.
Seven different Institutes focused on Arts, Asian Cultures,Current Issues and Youth Activism, Engineering, Informa-tion Technology, Mathematical Sciences, and Science andTechnology will conduct hands-on programs with Vermontteenagers as part of the Governor ’s Institutes of Vermont(GIV).
For 19 teens, that will include Taiko drumming with theGovernor, Chinese and Japanese language lessons, andstudy of Asian foods and cultures in preparation for a grouptrip to China. Another 58 teens will construct robotics sys-tems by hand, develop new sustainable energy technologiesand experiment with aeronautics principles as part of theGIV Engineering Institute at UVM.
In GIV’s largest Institute, Arts, 113 teenagers will immersethemselves in creative pursuits such as dance, music, com-position, visual art, basketry, and drama alongside well-known professionals during a two-week residence at Castle-ton State College.
“These motivated young people are amazing,” says GIV’snew Executive Director Karen Taylor Mitchell. “All of thesestudents choose and apply to spend their summer time offdoing rigorous, intensive coursework, and fortunately ourstate and private donors make sure that these unique op-portunities are available to every single student with thatkind of passion and motivation.”
Vermont is the only state in New England with a Gover-nor ’s Institute, and over 28 years it has shaped the lives ofmore than 8500 students. Those students have grown intosome of Vermont’s best-known artists, musicians, and youngprofessionals, many of whom credit the Governor ’s Insti-tutes with introducing them to their career path and givingthem the confidence to pursue it. Friendships are anotherkey benefit of participation, as is aligning passions with real-world jobs.
A few highlights of this year ’s Institutes include: researchtrips on the UVM research vessel Melosira, a beachside sand-arch building competition, a gubernatorial forum with cur-rent candidates, giant puppet-construction for the CastletonJuly 4 parade, and a Math Amazing Race.
Critics of the Roman Catholic Church like to paintthe 2,000-year-old first Christian institution as be-ing out-of-step with modern science; such notions
today are both prejudicial and ill informed. Moral issues asthey relate to science and technology aside, the Vatican isvery much interested in modern scientific research, especial-ly the field of astronomy.
While critics may cite the Vatican’s denouncing of 17th-century astronomer Galileo Galilei as evidence of thechurch’s scientific repression, that’s stale news to the pope’s21st-century staff of credentialed clerical astronomers andastrophysicists.
Recently, Pope Benedict XVI kicked off the opening of theVatican Observatory’s new stand-alone digs in Castel Gan-dolfo, the pope’s summer residence near the Eternal City,Rome. The observatory had been located in small quarterson castle property since 1935.
During the week that the new, expanded observatoryheadquarters opened, the pope spent several hours with pa-pal astronomers learning about black holes, dark matter andthe moments immediately following the Big Bang.
For church leaders, there’s profound majesty in under-standing that our universe is immensely old. For most,there appears to be no challenge to the “Word of God” in ac-cepting the universe as it was created eons ago.
Pope Benedict began the observatory open house with aprayer and blessing for the staff and gathered news crew. Afew opening words of greeting were then offered by U.S. Je-suit astronomer Fr. George Coyne, former director of theobservatory.
Two years ago, Seeing Stars was kindly granted an inter-view, via e-mail, with U.S. astronomer and Jesuit BrotherGuy Consolmango while he was at work at the Vatican Ob-servatory. So, we were pleased to learn that Brother Consol-mango personally greeted the pope at the recent openhouse; he showed the pontiff the Vatican’s own beautifulspecimen of the carbon-rich Nakhla meteorite found inEgypt in 1911. This meteorite is believed to have been blast-ed off the surface of the planet Mars millions of years ago.
Brother Consolmango pre-sented Benedict was a pair oflab gloves to wear to preventcontaminating the rare pieceof a martian shooting star.
Gently holding the frag-ment of space rock, the popesaid in astonishment, “I amholding a piece of Mars!”
According to Coyne’s re-port in a Catholic News Ser-vice press release, “The Holy Father was curious about ourwork in the United States of America, so we had some nicephotographs of our mountain observatory in Arizona toshow him.”
The Vatican established its Arizona observatory in Tucsonback in 1981 because light pollution had so destroyed theopportunity to use Rome’s night sky for useful deep-sky ob-serving. Today, the observatory’s administrative and datawork is conducted at its newly expanded Castel Gandolfosite; the hands-on observing is conducted in Arizona.
”The pope looked very carefully at our exhibits,” Coynereported following the observatory’s open house. “He verymuch wanted to be involved with our new headquarters.His visit was magnificent because it shows his personal in-terest in our work—after all, it is his observatory!”
What’s in the Sky: The Sun was at its highest point atnoon June 21 as we marked the first day of summer here inthe Northern Hemisphere. The plane of the ecliptic—thepath that our Sun and the local planets travel as viewedfrom Earth—is low in the sky this time of year—at mid-night.

ADDISON—Deciding whether or not to get off the boat and headfor shore when weather conditions worsen is a choice that shouldnot be taken lightly. I realize that for many anglers the decision topull up anchor and stop fishing, especially when the fish are bit-ing, is not something that is easily determined.
Just like many of you, I have had several occasions out on thewater when the fishing was too good to be true only to have itspoiled by darkening clouds and increasing winds on Lake Cham-plain. In some cases I even considered the option of riding out thestorm but then I would remind myself that the fish would be theretomorrow. And believe me, they were. I enjoy fishing on the lakejust as much if not more than the next guy but the bottom line iswhen weather forecasts predict stormy weather, you're better offwatching my show on television or practicing knot tying in thecomforts of your house.
Before heading out on Lake Champlain it is a wise idea to al-ways check the local weather forecasts. Pay special attention towind direction and strength and also any predictions of thunder-storms. All of these factors will impact your fishing techniquesalong with travel once on the water. Planning your travel on LakeChamplain with wind conditions will prevent you from having topunch home in rough waters by avoiding high swells. Every an-gler should keep a NOAA weather radio on the boat so they canmonitor weather forecasts throughout the day and never be caughtoff guard.
Another helpful tool when planning your next outing is a weath-er map. An accurate weather map can be found in your local news-paper or on television. A weather map is covered in lines called iso-bars. These isobars link areas of equal air pressure.
By looking at the map, you can determine how air pressure sys-tems are moving. High-pressure systems in the northern hemi-sphere, marked by the letter H, spin clockwise while low-pressure
systems, marked by the letter L, spin counterclockwise. The closeness of the isobars to each other will reveal the pressure
differentials. The closer the isobars, the stronger the wind will bein that area. As a general rule, high-pressure areas typically containfine to mild conditions whereas low-pressure areas carry most ofthe rain. A short line pointing in a specific direction reveals windtravel. At the end of the line are a number of 'fingers' that indicatewind strength. Regularly looking at the systems and using a weath-er map will aide any angler in relating what is shown on the chartto the weather actually experienced.
It pays to be prepared for any weather condition on Lake Cham-plain. By never underestimating the power of Mother Nature, yourtime on the water can be a lot more productive and enjoyable.
I have the fullest confidence in my boat to handle a wide varietyof weather conditions but whether you go by the saying, "red skyin the morning sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailor's de-light," or if you can just feel the weather changes in your bones,everyone should keep and eye to the sky when out the water.

In the second game of theseries played last Saturdayin Burlington the LowellSpinners scored 5 runs intothe final 2 innings to open upa 1-0 lead and cruise to a 6-2win. Vermont would havebeen shutout, but with 2outs, and a man on first inthe bottom of the ninth,Lowell pitching issued 4straight walks, accountingfor the Lake Monsters onlyruns.
Lowell’s top two hitters,Garcia and lead off hitter Fe-lix Sanchez were on fire, go-ing 7-for-10 between them.Sanchez was 3-for-5, scoredtwice and he drove in a run.Garcia was 4-for-5 with adouble. First baseman SeanKilleen had a huge three runhomerun in the ninth to sealLowell’s win.

Lake Monsters Take 2 of First 3
By Jessica AyerSpecial to the Eagle
Another record-setting LCI Father's Day Derby presented byYamaha is in the books after a spectacular three-days of fishing.The derby, celebrating its 29th year of family, friends, and fishing,brings generations of anglers from over 25 states to Lake Cham-plain.
Although thunderstorms popped up all over the lake during
the weekend, fishing on Lake Champlain has never been betterand our weigh station results can prove it. Among the over 1,100fish weighed in, there were several impressive fish, including a28.19-pound catfish, 18.9-pound sheepshead, 8.35-pound wall-eye, and a 4.91-pound smallmouth bass. However, none was moreimpressive than the record-setting 16.77-pound lake trout caughtby Dana LaDuke of Bomoseen. The trophy laker will net LaDukemore than $60,000 in cash in prizes.
Overall, LCI anglers will take home nearly $400,000 in cash and
prizes including three boats valued at $18,166 each for the topT.E.A.M.'s in each division, 10 Starcraft jon boats, 7 Yamaha en-gines, 7 Bear Creek canoes, and merchandise and gift certificatesfrom over 140 sponsors and local donors. To see final unofficialresults of the derby please visit www.mychamplain.net/fishing-derbies/29th-annual-fathers-day-fishing-derby/results.
The great fishing has also pushed derby participation higherthan it has been in years. The derby surpassed the 2009 numberof participants, 5,501, with an unofficial number of anglers of over5,700. This is wonderful news, not just for Lake Champlain In-ternational, Inc., but for local businesses whose sales skyrocketwith the number of anglers and their families in the area duringthe derby.

ReenactmentFrom page 1
“It was in these green hills 233 years ago that British troopsunder Lt. Gen. John Burgoyne first met the resistance andbravery of Americans in battle,” according to Alan Wulff,publicity manager of the Hubbardton Historical Society.
“Experience the sights and sounds of the RevolutionaryWar and colonial times—musket fire cracking, black powdersmoke curling in the air, seeing food cooking over open fires,men and boys in breeches and waistcoats, and women andgirls in long skirts and caps,” Wulff said.
Wulff said the weekend highlights reenactors dressed inthe colorful garb of American, British, and German soldiers.The actors will wonder the battlefield and provide demon-strations such as live courts martial, camp drills, camp cook-ing and guided battlefield tours.
Mistress Davenport, a dynamic living history reenactor,will play the camp storyteller and engage visiting young-sters with various fun, educational activities that include ascavenger hunt.
For shopaholics, a colonial “shopping mall” offers cloth-ing, pelts, weapons, books and other items related to 18thcentury life and warfare.
The highlight of all this activity is, of course, the big bat-tle on Sunday morning. But be prepared to rise and shineearly—it’s the military life after all.
Troops starting formations about 7:30 a.m. and the ex-tended tactical demonstration beginning at 8 a.m.

SHELBURNE—Shelburne Farms is coordinating and host-ing an innovative new three-day residential Farm to Schoolworkshop this summer from June 27-30.
Teams of teachers, food-service staff, school health work-ers, farmers, parents and school administrators from sixschools across Vermont (Barre, Bristol, Burlington, Cabot,Cornwall, Hartland, Middlebury and Troy), each with astrong Farm to School program, have been invited to partic-ipate in the three-day pilot program.
The objective is to support schools and communities ingetting students to make healthy food choices that includeeating lots of fresh Vermont-grown food.
Farm to School is a nationwide movement. In April, theWhite House identified Farm to School as one of the five topstrategies for school food improvement in its fight againstchildhood obesity.
The Farm to School Summer Workshop will be facilitatedby Shelburne Farms’ professional development team and ispresented by VT FEED or Food Education Every Day, a part-nership project of Food Works at Two Rivers Center, NOFA-VT and Shelburne Farms.
Ham RadioFrom page 1
Images of sci-fi author Robert A. Heinlein’s “Farnham’sFreehold” aside, I sure was one lucky kid to be able to sit be-side Glen and listen to radio chats with fellow hammers inCanada, England and beyond.
While I never pursued ham radio, I have always admiredthose adult men and women who have built upon childhoodhobby in amateur radio. That’s why this week’s annual sum-mer Amateur Radio Field Day at Mt. Independence StateHistoric Site in Orwell is so intriguing to me. It serves as areminder that ham radio is a superb hobby I should havetaken more seriously. But I suppose it’s never too late to getinvolved. Maybe you should consider it, too, especially ifyou are a parent with children in search of a productive hob-by —a hobby that doesn’t involve video gaming or yakingand texting on a cell phone.
According to state historic site official Elsa Gilbertson,thousands of ham radio operators across the country, in-cluding the SB Electronics Amateur Radio Club, will beshowing off their emergency capabilities over the weekendof June 25-27. The public is invited. You can learn how easyit is to get your own FCC license and become an amateurbroadcaster.
Gilberston noted that SB members will operate a simu-lated emergency station atop Mount Independence.
“There are 660,000 Amateur Radio operators in the Unit-ed States, and more than 2.5 million around the world.Through the ARRL, ham volunteers provide emergency
communications for the Department of Homeland SecurityCitizens’ Corps, the American Red Cross, the SalvationArmy, FEMA, and thousand of state and local agencies—allfor free,” Gilbertson said.
“During many natural disasters, Amateur Radio—oftencalled ham radio—is often the sole way that people can com-municate. When trouble is brewing, ham radio operators areoften the first to provide critical information and communi-cations,” she noted. “Radio Field Day is the climax of theweek-long Amateur Radio Week sponsored by the ARRL, theNational Association for Amateur Radio. Using only emer-gency power supplies, ham operators will construct stationsin parks, shopping malls, schools, and back yards.”
According to Gilbertson’s news release announcing theevent, the annual Mt. Independence radio fest is an excel-lent way to see how emergency communications can be con-ducted without relying on telephone systems, Internet, orcommercial power sources—imagine, communicationswithout the Internet? The mind boggles.
More than 30,000 amateur radio operators (in Vermontand across the radio waves) participated in last year ’s event,according to Gilbertson, so this year promises to attract aneven larger, combined group, both live and on radio.
Check it Out: The Mt. Independence radio event is free and opento the public on Friday, June 25, from 1 to 5:30, and SaturdayJune 26, and Sunday, June 27, from 9:30 to 5 p.m. Admission tothe museum and trails is $5 for adults and free for children un-der age 15. Mount Independence, a major Revolutionary War site,is located near the end of Mount Independence Road, six mileswest of the intersections of Routes 22A and 73 near Orwell vil-lage.
