Grand Isle Selectboard
Sends Out RFP for Fire Station
Happy Labor Day!
By: Susan Davis
Once again, the long-ago voter-approved Grand Isle Fire Station took center
stage in the discussions at Monday evening’s Selectboard meeting as the Board
announced their intention to send out Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design
of a new Fire Station by the end of the month. They also noted that the Feasibility
Study prepared by the architectural firm of Dore and Whittier was available online
at the Town’s webpage with hard copies to be located at the Town Office and Library.
Even though statistics from the Study are often alluded to in the back-and-forth
conversations of Board and meeting participants, the Study itself has never been
officially “presented” to the public in any kind of public forum, which has in turn
created even more questions and a lot of head-scratching.

Rabbi Stu Robinson,
a Grand Isle resident
and attorney, queried
the Board at their last
meeting.
“It doesn’t seem that
we have a capitol budget,
a vision plan,” said
Robinson. “The voters
came out and approved
a location and design for
a new Fire Station,” he
noted.

Granny’s Attic Closes Soon
Granny’s Attic will close for 2013 on Saturday, August 31. This has been the
best year yet thanks to the many donors, buyers and volunteers who contributed
to making this such a banner year.
However, while “The Attic” may be closed for business the last day August,
the outside of the Old White Meeting House on Route 2 in South Hero, next to
the Firehouse, will be undergoing work to preserve and restore the cupola to its
perch atop the building: a familiar sight in South Hero for 200 years.
You still have a chance for a final visit until next summer to go in and find that
special bargain, or an opportunity to donate an un-wanted item, whose sale will
benefit local non-profit organizations.
The hours are still Friday from 1 to 4 pm and Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm.
Next year, along with the restored roof-line and the wonderful sign on the
front of the building by Silver Cloud Designs and friends, Granny’s Attic will be
able to surpass even this year’s record-breaking profits.

NOADIAH MOORE DEDICATION
A first for me this week as I had this young
writer by the name of Logan Gooley, ask me if
I would put his article on the Noadiah Moore
Dedication in The Islander. Logan is 11 years
old, loves history and this is his first news article.
He was able to follow Celine Paquette, curator of
the Samuel de History Center in Champlain, and
in his words was her historian in training.
Logan wrote, “Noadiah Moore was the son
of Pliny Moore, the founder of Champlain. He
was also an abolitionists during the years of
the underground railroad. On August 17, in
celebration of Champlain’s 225th Anniversary,
the town honored him for his part in freeing the
slaves with a placement of a historic marker.
Celine Paquette introduced Mayor Greg Martin,
Don Papson, the founding president of the North
Country Underground Railroad Association,
and Jackie Madison, the current president
of the North Country Underground Railroad
Association, as guest speakers to the celebration.
Don Papson studies and writes about the
Underground Railroad. He talked about
Noadiah Moore’s life and what he did. Jackie
Madison talked about how slaves must have felt
when they arrived in Champlain. David Patrick,
descendent of Noadiah Moore also attended
the dedication. At the end Mayor Greg Martin,
Don Papson, Jackie Madison and David Patrick
uncovered the marker of Noadiah and Caroline
Moore, that now stands in front of Saint Mary’s
Church in Champlain. This was the Noadiah
Moore dedication”.
COMPASS ROSE WILL PERFORM AT
CENTER STAGE
Compass Rose, a country folk band, formerly
known as the Back Porch Band, will perform
at the Samuel de Champlain Center Stage on

HISTORY CENTER DISPLAYS
On Saturday, August 17, The Samuel de
Champlain History Center featured displays
on Irene Lalonde, artist, and Edmond Lalonde,
barber, and The Sheridan Iron Works Company.
It was a beautiful summer day, with a strong
sun and warm breezes. The air was heavy with
anticipation and excitement as residents and
visitors as far away as Florida checked schedules
of events being held throughout the village
and town of Champlain in an effort not to miss
anything.
On this day, the celebration of the Town
of Champlain’s 225th anniversary, the History
Center opened its doors to welcome the public.
It was a perfect moment for residents and
visitors to gather and reflect on the valuable
contributions made by a prominent and vital
industry, the Sheridan Iron Works Company,
and life of the beautiful, resourceful, Lalonde
family of Champlain.
People were waiting by the door as early as 9
am. Soon, the space was filled with the cadence
of voices greeting, laughing, welcoming each
other as though a reunion was taking place and
it was, to a great extent.
Men who hadn’t seen each other in years
came to reconnect with family and friends living
in local villages and those who had relocated but
came back to share this special event. One wanted
to know if anyone knew, “where Tom moved to”,
other groups to reminisce over when fishing on
the Great Chazy reaped a plentiful catch, others
to recall time spent at the elementary school,
the boat works industry down the road, the time
when Island Park was the place to go, the days of
drive-in movies, the hotel era, bootlegging, and
the stories went on and on.
They read newspaper articles on the Sheridan
Iron Works’ long history of foundry operation
on the site of the present plant; the rich history
of manufacturing in this tiny township, begun
back in 1840’s. They spoke of the time when
Sheridan was acquired by Harris in 1964, looked
through photo albums, recalled fond memories
of parents and grandparents being employed at
the plant, and of childhoods spent in this busy,
vital village. They took pride in knowing that
machinery and product produced in Champlain
touched so many and reached far beyond the
shores of America. They boasted, and rightly
so, about how Champlain made an important
contribution to America’s overall gross national
product.
So many who came were eager to share
stories about Irene and Edmond Lalonde. Men
recalled as far back as the 1950’s, when going
to Edmond’s barber shop on Main Street for a
haircut, shave and talk with Edmond was the
way to gather news and share anecdotes. They
recalled Irene’s “Artist Nook” art gallery and her
bountiful garden, a magnificent mix of color and
aroma that added an atmosphere of beauty and
uniqueness to Main Street. Edmond was a native
of Ottawa, Irene Fisher, a native of Germany,
came to America in 1928. They met in New York,
married in 1940 and ventured with their young
daughter, Jeanette, to this remote region of New
York State in 1947; to start a family and begin a
life that enhanced the lives of all who knew them.
Finally, at 3 in the afternoon, it was time to
close the door of this magnificent gathering place,
the site of the First National Bank of Champlain,
with its hallowed walls and spectacular views of
the Great Chazy River; until next time when we
gather again to share cherished moments of life
in this region of America.

NOTES
Good luck to all the students going back to
school next week, whether it be kindergarten,
grade school, high school or college. Hope 2014
proves to be a good and productive year for all
of you.
Since I was not able to attend the festivities in
Champlain last weekend, I want to thank Logan
Gooley and Louise for the great news articles on
the events. It sounds like an enjoyable day was
had by all who took part in the celebration.
Many memories of my days at Sheridan in the
engineering department came back to me, as that
was my place of employment from 1959 to 1962.
I typed many stock lists for CT trimmers, book
binders and all the other machines that were
used in the book binding business. Thursday was
pay day, and that was the day I ventured out to
the beautiful bank that is now the History Center,
I fondly remember the wonderful lunches at Lil
Corcoran’s Mom and Dad’s, Mr. and Mrs. Matott.

APPLE ISLAND GOLF
As always the Apple Island Ladies’ League
was well represented Wednesday morning. The
Ladies were in rare form and all teams played
very well. Gisele Lizewski, Mary White and
Carolyn Antone played just a little bit better, and
came out on top. Audrey Coughlin was closest
to the Pin with a distance of 9 feet 9 inches.
Congrats to all.
Not to be outdone the Men’s League had a great
turnout of their own, 18 Golfers started play at 9
am. At 11:30 the winners were announced. Dick
Ward, John Collette and Dave Villemaire took
the honors, although there was initially a three
way tie for first place. Moe Thibault showed off
his talent by dropping one 5 feet and 2 inches
from the pin. Both Leagues invite everyone who
hasn’t stopped in yet to play, to set aside some
time. You’ll make new friends and have a fun
time playing.

Banjos and Fossils at
Fisk Farm
Sunday afternoon, September 1 will be the
final Sunday Afternoon at Fisk Farm of the 2013
season, with art, music, and afternoon tea in the
garden presented by the Isle La Motte Preservation
Trust. The current art exhibit is entitled Fossils of
the Chazy Reef by photographer Art Murphy in
the Barn Gallery at Fisk Farm. A photographer of
considerable renown, Art Murphy visited Isle La
Motte last summer to photograph fossils of the
ancient Chazy Reef in the Fisk Quarry and Goodsell
Ridge Preserves. He writes, “I am an artist and not a
scientist. I have always though, been intrigued with
the visual manifestations of scientific inquiry-- those
confluence points between art and science. And
I believe that focusing a lens on the fossils on the
Chazy Reef on Isle La Motte, helps to open a personal
window to a relatively unseen view of life’s earliest
stages.”
Folk musicians Rick Ceballos and Matt Witten will
perform at 2, 3 and 4 pm. Born in Pennsylvania,
musically raised in Maine and seasoned in Vermont,
Rick has been entertaining New England audiences
for almost forty years. Known mainly for his wide
array of banjos and banjo styles, Rick is also an
accomplished accordion and concertina player as
well as a fine songwriter. In addition, he is a folk
music presenter and has served as Artistic Director
of the Champlain Valley Folk Festival and is currently
Artistic Director of Best Night, Bristol VT’s New
Year’s Eve celebration. Matt Witten, in addition to
accompanying Rick on piano, guitar, percussion and
vocals, is an accomplished musician in his own right
and well-known as a singer/songwriter and one half
of the very popular children’s duo the Swing Peepers.
Drawing on a wide range of folk music traditions, Rick
and Matt cover a lot of ground. From early African
banjo blues to their own modern compositions with
Irish, French, Galician and whatever else they pull
out of the hat in between. All are played on a variety
of banjos, squeezeboxes and rhythm instruments
and presented in a highly entertaining performance
style.
Along with the art and music afternoon tea,
lemonade, cakes, scones, and tea sandwiches are
available to enjoy on the lawn, or in the “tea room”
if it rains. It’s all free except for the refreshments,
with all proceeds going directly to the Isle La Motte
Preservation Trust. Come casual or dressed up.
Park your bike, your car, or your shoes. Borrow a
flower bedecked garden hat during your visit. Enjoy
a beautiful setting on Lake Champlain and feed your
soul. Fisk Farm is located on 3849 West Shore Road
on Isle la Motte. For more information, call 9283364 or visit ilmpt.org and click on Cultural Heritage

Water District Bond Vote
Passes Handily
By: Susan Davis
In an unprecedented voter turnout, the Grand Isle Consolidated Water
District (GICWD) passed a bond last Tuesday in the amount of $809,000 for the
construction of a granular activated carbon (GAC) water and filtration disinfection
system.
With a total of 118 votes cast (94 yes; 24 no), the users agreed with the GICWD
Board’s decision to not use chloramine in their disinfection process.
“In 25 years, the people of Grand Isle will be pleased with this vote because
this town is going to be way ahead of all other Vermont towns,” noted Water
Commissioner Bill Truex.
The new bond will be added to the remaining $199,000 from an earlier bond
passed in February 2012. The Board anticipates that the Grand Isle users will see
an average increase of $14 per month per connection.
Commissioner Janine Banks, who was instrumental in first, organizing a
grassroots movement within the community who were opposed to the addition
of chloramine to their water, and second, bringing a GAC system to the forefront
of options needed to make GICWD come into compliance with current EPA
standards, was elated at the voter turnout and the passing of the bond.
“We, the Board, felt that it was important to work with the community and
have the Grand Isle residents living within the water district decide this issue,”
she said.
“Grand Isle is the first town in the state to say no to adding another chemical to
our drinking water and to adopt a GAC system. Many towns facing the same EPA
restriction have been watching us—now, we’ll see how they decided to proceed,”
added Banks.
“Now we begin the difficult task of actually going to the construction phase of
the project. We intend to keep the two-way lines of communication open as we
move ahead. We encourage all users to stay in contact with the Board, come to
our monthly meetings and continue to be an active part of this water district,”
said Banks.
CIDER Notes
Keeler Bay Sales and Service along with Snowfarm Vineyard and Winery are
sponsoring a Pig Roast for CIDER on Saturday, September 7. The event will be held
at Snowfarm Vineyard and Winery in South Hero from 4 to 8 pm and will feature,
along with the tasty pig and other fixings, live music by the Yankee Pot Roast
band. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids twelve years old and younger,
and may be purchased at Keeler Bay Service and Sales, the CIDER Office, or at the

“Ned” Spear, and attorneys David Carter and Joe Bauer from 12:45 to 2 pm
on Wednesday, September 25. The presentation will be held in the municipal
conference room located at the Alburgh Town Office.
Though more than 170 people throughout the county volunteer in some
fashion with CIDER, they can always use more. They need individuals willing
to give elders and persons with disabilities rides to medical appointments and
therapy, especially in the Alburgh and Isle La Motte area. Drive when you want or
can, it’s always ok to say no. Must have a reliable car and be able to pass a simple
background check. A mileage reimbursement of 56 cents per mile to and from
your residence is available. Stop by the CIDER Office at 324 Route 2 in South Hero
or call Haley at 372-6425.
Also, don’t forget to return your CIDER Membership application-- they can’t do
what they do without you!
Two Historic Campgrounds to be
Featured by
South Hero Historical Society
On Friday, September 6, at 7 pm at the Folsom Educational Center, the South Hero Historical Society
will reminisce about Skyland and Lakeside Campgrounds. Both, at one time, offered campers delicious
communal dinners. Both hosted campers who returned season after season and now have become
residents of South Hero.
Priscilla Norton Arnold, third generation owner/manager of Skyland will share stories of Skyland,
which was purchased by her grandparents, William and Mable Norton in l927. Many local residents
have fond memories of her father, the local doctor, whom they would see every day at 8 as he drove
up South Street to make his rounds. He was one of the last to make house calls. Skyland no longer
serves meals, but it does have rustic cabins, rv campsites, as well as tent sites. Priscilla and her
husband, Jack Arnold have managed the popular campground for several years.
Lakeside was managed by the Giffords for many years. Although it is no longer operated as a
campground, it holds many happy memories by many former campers, such as Sandy Gregg, who
will share stories and photos.
Both the Nortons and the Giffords were not only business people, but also active in the community
as a whole, participating in church, plays, masons, and many other community activities.
All are welcome to share in the memories of an important part of this community.

RFP FOR FIRE STATION
Continued from page 1
“But as a voter, I’m concerned that my vote and the
vote of others meant nothing.”
Robinson continued asking, “What assurance do
we have that anything we vote for will count for
something? We are in limbo!”
Robinson also noted that as a lawyer he would “be
there with an injunction and let the courts decide”
on this matter.
Earlier, Grand Isle Fire Chief Bill Baron addressed the
Board saying that he wanted to be on the record that
the Volunteer Fire Department is opposed to the
site that the Selectboard has chosen to locate a new
Station rather than the Gordon property on Route 2.
The new site, located on town-owned land known
as the gravel storage area, is at the junction of Route
2 and VT 314 near Kim’s Snack Bar. Contrary to the
REMODELING

recommendations in the Feasibility Study, the Fire
Department believes the new location is problematic
for a variety of reasons that include difficulty with
the egress of firefighters and their equipment due
to traffic and sight distances and a relocation of an
emergency evacuation location to area churches
rather than the Fire Station.
“I don’t believe that anyone from the Selectboard
has contacted anyone on the School Board to talk
about a change in an emergency evacuation location
for the students,” said Baron.
In addition, the Fire Department disagrees with the
Study’s assessment of “high risk” areas within the
town are not along the West Shore but rather in the
northern part of town that include a number of older
homes, the Round Barn, the School and a proposed
elderly housing complex that CIDER is working on.
Other areas of concern include the fact that there
will be no onsite septic. “The effluent will have to
be pumped to the Island Excavating’s system,” said
Baron, “and that cost will most likely be larger than
pumping out the holding tanks at the original site.”
An audience member asked about the accuracy
of a statement in the Selectboard’s recent letter to
the residents where they stated that the Town does
not own the Gordon property on Route 2. Baron
responded saying that the Fire Department owns the
property in question and was about to turn it over to
the Town but stopped when the Selectboard refused
to move on the bond vote. He went on to comment

on the Feasibility Study’s
estimate of $3.5 million
for a new Fire Station, a
significantly higher total
than the original design
cost.
In other matters, the
Selectboard is looking
into the creation of an
ordinance that would
allow for the removal of
a dangerous animal/dog
from private property.
Their action is based
on a recent incident
when a child was mauled by a dog and responding
officers could not remove the dog because the child’s
parents apparently owned the dog, and it was on
their property.
And, if the brouhaha over the Fire Department is
not enough, there seems to be some conflict within
the Grand Isle Planning Board and the Development
Review Board (DRB). According to Colleen Cobb, who
serves on the Planning Board, they are at an impasse
and “not getting anything done”. Although a five
year Town Plan was completed in 2012, there are
those who would like to make changes to the Plan.
“They are trying to solve a problem by changing the
ordinances,” said Cobb.
The Selectboard agreed to bring in all concerning
parties to try and rectify this long-standing dispute,
possibly at their next meeting.
The next two Selectboard meetings are scheduled
for Monday September 9 and 16, due to the Labor
Day holiday.

BEVERLY JEAN COUTURE
Beverly Jean Couture, age 60 years, a resident of this community for the past 42
years died Wednesday afternoon August 21, 2013, at the Saint Albans Healthcare and
Rehabilitation Center with loving family at her side.
Born in Connecticut on February 4, 1953, she was the daughter of the late Mr. and

EDNA CARLINE MUNDT HOLZSCHUH
Edna Carline Mundt Holzschuh, a local craftswoman and author, died August 20,
2013 at Birchwood Terrace of natural causes. It seemed fitting that she picked the
day of the Full Sturgeon Moon to leave this earth as she always remembered the full
moon names, and up until just recently was able to recite them with no difficulty.
Until her illness she had lived from 1999 at the Pillsbury Senior Communities in
South Burlington. She was the author of the local history book, The Grandview Hotel
on Snake Mountain, Vermont and a book for children, Molly’s Magic Mirror.
Edna Holzschuh, middle daughter of the five children of Edward and Dorothea Kobarg Mundt, was born in
East Aurora, New York, where she attended a one room school and then high school, completing post graduate
work in commercial art. She and her husband Herman Holzschuh (d. 1979), owner of a dry cleaning plant, were
married in 1941. The Holzschuh family moved to a farm in Java Center, New York, in 1955. She usually set
their dinner table with their own meat, side dishes, bread and butter and fruit pies from the animals, fruits and
vegetables they grew. After their children left for college and careers, they raised sheep and border collies. He
made wooden-ware, and she made quilts. She and her husband wove colorful rugs on their loom.
She moved to Chipman Park, Middlebury, Vermont, in 1979, where she was active in the Russell Sholes Senior
Center sewing group designing babywear and greeting cards, volunteered at the Sheldon Museum assisting with
the registration of many of its objects, and was a member of the Twist of Wool crafters, traveling with them to
the Shelburne Museum where they patiently rerolled a collection of quilts. In Middlebury she walked her border
collies and read and recorded children’s books for the local library. Hundreds of school children received warm
winter hats she knitted every year after she moved to South Burlington. She also enjoyed reading, music events,
and political programs on TV. Her gift for friendship served her well wherever she lived.
She is survived by her two children, Elaine Holzschuh Harrington (Kevin) of Chicago, Illinois and James
Holzschuh (Ellen Thompson) of South Hero. Grandchildren Heather Holzschuh Gebo (Brian) currently
stationed in Rhode Island with the Navy and Karl Holzschuh (Jessica) of Hinesburg, Vermont, great
grandchildren Brady, Aidan, and Spencer Gebo and Gabe Holzschuh. She would have been 97 on
September 1 and she routinely told her family that “I enjoy every day.” Being a special place of
interest to her, family and friends will gather at the revolutionary war site, Mount Independence, on
September 1 for a time of remembrance and to celebrate her life. Donations in her name may be made
to the Henry Sheldon Museum, 1 Park Street, Middlebury, Vermont 05753.

interesting stories or pictures. I want to preserve
some of the personal history.

memories that get jogged. I’ll be having open
house on Teddy Roosevelt Day, but I would like
to start now.

PUBLIC NOTICE
The weeks of August 26 – September 16 the
Town of North Hero will implement their water
distribution flushing program
The North Hero Water Department conducts a
comprehensive water line flushing program throughout
the Town. This process rapidly moves water through the
Town’s water piping system to scour the inside of the
water lines. Flushing is a common practice to improve
water quality and maintain the water distribution system.
Minerals and other materials that accumulate in the lines
are removed by flushing. This material is not harmful but
can cause discolored water.
Customers may notice discolored water or a change
in water pressure when flushing is conducted in their
area. When flushing is taking place, we recommend that
customers check to ensure their tap water is running clear
before using it for drinking, cooking, or clothes washing.
Customers who experience some coloring or sediment in
their water should run the cold water faucet for a short
time. This should clear up any discolored water.
If you have any questions, call the water plant at 3726258.

Rule 2.000: Health Insurance Rate Review
Vermont Proposed Rule: 13P030
AGENCY: Green Mountain Care Board
CONCISE SUMMARY: Under current Vermont law, the Department of Financial
Regulation (DFR) reviews each request filed by an insurer to change the rates
charged for health insurance. DFR makes a recommendation to the Green
Mountain Care Board (GMCB), which then has 30 days to approve, modify or
disapprove the rate request. 8 V.S.A. § 4062; 18 V.S.A. § 9375(b)(6). In Act 79 of
2013, the Legislature changed the process. As of January 1, 2014, insurers will
file rate requests with the GMCB, which will have 90 days to approve, modify, or
disapprove. 8 V.S.A. § 4062(as amended by Act 79, §5c). DFR will continue to
review rate requests for the sole purpose of providing the GMCB with an analysis
and opinion about the impact of proposed rates on insurer solvency and reserves.
Act 79 also introduces statutory changes aimed at enhancing transparency in
the rate review process. This proposed rule revises the GMCB’s current rule to
match the Act’s structural changes to the review process and implements the
Act’s transparency measures.

for temporary housing applicants with a catastrophic need in both the General
Assistance and Emergency Assistance programs. The rule defines the time period

preceding application for assistance. The proposed rule changes the requirement
that applicants contribute all of their available income toward their emergency
need to 50% of gross monthly income. The rule also relaxes the verification
criteria under constructive eviction for victims of domestic violence and provides
a definition of domestic violence. The rule clarifies other catastrophic eligibility
criteria that must be met in order for an applicant to be eligible for temporary
housing.

Four groups of vulnerable populations are categorically eligible: individuals 65
years of age or older; supplemental security income or social security disability
insurance recipients; children six years of age or younger; and pregnant

All Programs: Verification Process Change
CONCISE SUMMARY: This rule proposes to change the Economic Services
Division (ESD) rules to update the name of the program from “Food Stamp” to
the State program name “3SquaresVT” or to the federal program title “SNAP”.
The rule also updates the verification process for 3SquaresVT applicants. The
proposed rule will eliminate the mandated second written contact under the
current rule and will provide a more timely eligibility determination for 3SquaresVT
applicants. The proposed rule change is consistent with federal regulations at 7
CFR § 273.2(c)(5) that require the State agency to provide each household with
a notice of the verification requirements the household must meet as part of the
certification and recertification application process. The notice also informs the
household of the State agency’s responsibility to assist the household in obtaining
required verification, provided the household is cooperating with the agency.

Isle provide the backdrop for murder. The cast of
characters includes paper tycoon Warren Dodge,
Teddy Roosevelt, and the Webbs of Shelburne
Farms. Ms. Herold, who lives in Montpelier,
tells us where fact and fiction meet, and provides
an exciting portrayal of the Guilded Age of Lake
Champlain, including rare photos, drawings and
maps gathered during her research. The event

to follow. For more information, contact Allison
Belisle at 802-363-2598 or miltonhistorical@

To the Editor,
Well, what ARE they
doing? That question
went through my head
the other day when I
took my regular jaunt to
the local Post Office. I
have a feeling that many
others who live along
US Route 2 through the
Islands could be asking
the same question. All
the white lines have
been erased and a new one painted at least a foot
further out on both sides.
So all the good work
that was done over the past 10 years to make this a
safe cycling road and encourage more tourists, now
seems to have been effectively annulled. Really, do
we NEED this roadway to be widened at the expense
of the very business we should be encouraging?
Just think of the end result. Although we’d all like
to believe that traffic follows posted speed limits,
the realistic fact is that most drivers make their own
decision as to what speed is comfortable and safe.
Anytime a slow limit is posted on a wide, open road,
you’ll always see even ‘the average speed’ of traffic
exceeding that figure … it’s just human nature to make
these judgements on safety and logic, like it, laws or
not. So with a wider road, we are encouraging both
faster and wider traffic and before long, we’ll start
to see even 18-wheelers coming down through our
vacation paradise, just because it’s no longer ‘the
slow way’ to get to Burlington. This will further
endanger any cyclists on the road and we’ll kill
(hopefully not literally!) the results of many years of
promoting cycle trips through the area. I’ve heard
talk that the cycle path will be maintained … but this
will mean that there will be many more areas where
there will not even be a safe space for a single file …
such as when crossing bridges, riding alongside steel
railings that cannot be moved out and handling dips
for intersecting driveways etc. and this inconsistency
for a cycling group, will just add to the danger. And
then, if they do enlarge the road, many driveways
along Rte 2 will be shortened and compromised and
this will make their intersections with the highway
more dangerous too. My own is tricky now and the
only safe way I can back out is to first get out on the
verge, from where I can then assess the traffic flying
at me around a nearby S-bend. Although this is still
posted at 50mph, many rushing to and from work,
still try it at 60. And as I’ve carefully observed, at
that speed, there’s just NO way a heavy truck can
stop in time should I be forced to back out into their
lane due to having lost my verge …. so my Russian
Roulette exits can only get even worse. But this is
not about one personal situation … as I am sure this
scenario will be repeated in many places all along
Rte 2. It’s just that I really question the wisdom of
encouraging faster transit down this highway that
has SO many driveways opening on to it … as well as
the logic behind scaring our peaceful cycling visitors
so much, that they start to go elsewhere.
I was
shocked to see that this road widening and loss of
safe cycling space, was also carried right through the
center of the village of North Hero where there are
often stone walls that are immoveable. Do we really
want traffic to go through there faster than before?
I’ve been here nearly 40 years now and to me, this
is really a step in the wrong direction. I just hope
that others further threatened by the new speeds
and traffic we will be seeing come next year, will
raise their voices to keep the road width down, to a
function of how we want the road to be used. This is
touring, vacation country – surely not a through-road
for commercial traffic that will not stop.

I must be in a time warp, a time bubble, or at the
very least in some sort of Boone’s Farm-induced
coma. There’s really no getting around that as
I look in the mirror every day and see the gray
hairs starting to pop, the laugh lines starting to
appear, that yes, I am getting old. The realization
came when I started getting messages on my
Facebook account about the planning of my next
school reunion, suddenly seeing pictures being
posted of us, with big, poofy AquaNet hair, legwarmers, and the boys rockin’ the mullet cut,
when mullets were cool, and zebra-patterned
parachute pants! I guess my fascination right
now of loving 80s music should have been a tipoff. I miss my records of Purple Rain, Xanadu,
GNR, or roller-skating to Hungry Like A Wolf.
But no one can rock like Rick Springfield. I’ll
admit it: I still jam to Jessie’s Girl at least one day
a week on my way to work. So, I close with this,
if Mick Jagger can stand the test of time, who
just turned 70 years young, then I guess I have to
accept the fact that I am too getting older. I will
reminisce, but I don’t really have to grow up too
soon, because frankly, I am not ready too!
