1930 antique truck rescuedBy Lou [email protected]

MIDDLEBURY—Tropical Storm Irene wreaked havoc onVermont on Aug. 28, 2011. Buildings, roadways, and natu-ral resources were damaged or destroyed in the wake of thestorm’s brief hours of violence. Most tragic was the loss offour human lives.

While not the least bit precious when compared to the lossof a human life, Irene still produced its share of materiallosses, from houses and highways to private tractors andeven a private airplane. So add one more thing to thematériel casualty of the Aug. 28 flooding—a classic, andhighly collectible, 1930 Ford Model-A Huckster pickuptruck.

The truck, lovingly stored in a residential garage by anunidentified man in Bridgewater, Vt., was covered in filthyflood water where it soaked into the upholstery, engine andwood paneling. The truck sat in high water, to a level justabove the windshield, for many hours.

The Model A’s owner lost his home in the flash flooding.One of the few possessions to emerge was his venerablepickup—but it was a total loss.

In need of funds to rebuild his house and family’s life, theowner accepted an insurance payment of $14,000 for theModel A. But, knowing it was a mess, the insurance com-pany let the owner keep the vehicle if ever wanted to workon it. However, requiring immediate cash to make

Keyser officials have an-nounced that all the pro-ceeds collected from itsfun, new Holiday Coal Bagsales program will be do-nated to the Open DoorMission located on ParkStreet in Rutland.

“This is a unique way tohelp raise funds to elimi-nate homelessness in Rut-land area,” according toMary Rachel Keyser. “Intraditional Christmas cul-ture, coal signifies thatyou have been bad. But inother cultures, receivingcoal is a good thing- a giftof warmth and love.”

Keyser said the compa-ny is selling the genuinecoal at $2 a bag.

Each decorative bag willhave a hand full of hardcoal tied with a holidayribbon.

“Give one as a laugh orit may be the perfect giftfor those naughty on yourlist,” she said.

In case you think coal is“bad”, think again.

RUTLAND—Rutland’s Gift-of-Life Marathonnetted approximately 1,800 pints, just short of thenational blood drive record. The national one-daycommunity blood drive record is 1,968 pints.

“It was an extraordinary day and an amazingdisplay of community spirit and determination,”said Steve Costello of Central Vermont PublicService spokesman, one of the organizers. “Thenational record didn’t fall, but this was the largestper-capita blood drive in U.S. history, the second-largest ever, and the region should be proud of

what it accomplished.” Organizers from CVPS, WJJR and the American

Red Cross set their sights on the record withindays of it being set, and amped up recruiting tohigh school and colleges students and residentsof the towns surrounding Rutland.

payments, the owner sold—some might even say gave away—the waterlogged truck to hisRutland-based insurance agent for $600.

Enter car guy Damon Pelkey of Brandon. Pelkey has tinkered around classic cars most ofhis adult life. As owner of DT Speedi Lube in Middlebury, Pelkey often graces his garage’sfront lot with antique vehicles he’s working on.

“It so happens the Model A’s insurance agent is also my agent,” Pelkey said. “He knewI like to work on old vehicles. He asked me if I could get the truck running again.”

The new owner had a flatbed truck deliver the Model A to Pelkey’s Middlebury garage.Between changing oil and tires for customers, Pelkey and his assistant worked on the De-pression-era truck.

If miracles still happen in small ways, then Pelkey is a miracle worker. For in just a fewweeks of hard work, the mechanic drained all of the Ford’s fluids—including brackishfloodwater—cleaned the carburetor and tinkered around with the electrics to get the pick-up in running order.

Drying out the engine took days, but as of last week, Pelkey got the pickup started andit’s running again. Right now, he’s taking care of a few little engine details before he turnsthe keys back to the owner.

In the meantime, Pelkey has other classic car projects to keep his attention in the newyear. First, he is going to help his brother Herb Pelkey restore a 1958 Edsel station wagonthey found for sale in Springfield, Vt. Following the Edsel project, Pelkey will assist his fa-ther, Richard Pelkey of Chittenden, to restart a 1947 Ford sedan that has sat silent fordecades.

“You have to finesse old cars, like this flood-damaged Model A, to get them runningagain,” Pelkey said. “I like the classic cars. In fact, I own several myself—a ‘47 Ford pick-

up, a ‘39 Ford sedan, and a‘66 Chevy flatbed truck. Iwork on them, and I like todrive them.”

There’s no fuss, no mussabout collecting old cars forDamon Pekley. He believesclassic vehicles deserve be-ing driven regularly and en-joyed by the owner and ad-miring car enthusiasts, notlocked away in an owner ’sgarage collecting dust—andoccasionally floodwater.

Opinion A COMMUNITY SERVICE : This community newspaper and its delivery are made possible by the advertisers you’ll find on the pages inside. Our twenty plus employees and this publishing company would not exi st without their generous support of our efforts to gather and distribute your community news and events. Pleas e thank them by supporting them and buying locally. And finally, thanks to you, our loyal readers, for your support and encouragement over the past 16 years from all of us here at The Addison Eagle & Green Mountain Outlo ok.

Volunteering in our local com-munity has its up and down-sides.

But for those of you who spend longhours working as unpaid service volun-teers—firefighters, EMTs, Civil Air Pa-trol search-and-rescue crews, shelterworkers, Scouting and 4H leaders,school aides, after-school tutors, youthcoaches, mission cooks, animal andwildlife stewards, spiritual caregivers,Big Brothers and Big Sisters, church-and fraternal-group leaders, elderly care-givers, Meals on Wheels and DAV vandrivers—you understand that such self-less time spent away from family andfriends can never be recaptured. But inmerely scratching the surface of themany kinds of volunteers around us, wecan better appreciate the vast reservoirof self sacrifice that drives so many Ver-monters to community service—and it’sall done without the expectation of anykind of compensation. The work is re-ward enough.

Even in our so-called Era of Greed,there are far too many good-naturedAmericans for us to ever loose sleep overa few, high-profile bad boys and girls.

For all the greedy, financial whiz kidswe read about in the newspaper, such asthe likes of Bernard Madoff and JonCorzine, the scales of what’s good aboutAmerica tip favorably in the opposite di-

rection with selfless volunteers such asBenson, Vt., resident Kathy Kidder, avolunteer Civil Air Patrol member whohelped save the life of a young boy lastyear, and Middlebury, Vt., resident Jessi-ca Appelson, who helped lead a volun-teer Midd Hurricane Relief team of stu-dents to clean up after Tropical StormIrene.

These two women are but the tip of aniceberg of volunteer adult men, women,teens and youth in our circulation areawho go about their business quietly yetleave lasting footprints.

During the late 1950s, AlbertSchweitzer, perhaps the 20th century’sgreatest, selfless servant, said this aboutthe call of volunteer service: “I don'tknow what your destiny will be, but onething I know: the only ones among youwho will be really happy are those whohave sought and found how to serve.”

So when friends and neighbors sacri-fice precious family and personal time inorder to plow it back into the communi-ty, they deserve our sincere thanks andpraise.

Community service, as Schweitzer andothers have lived it, is not an easy call-ing. Regardless of whether you are a cur-rent volunteer or have done volun-teerism in the past, thank you for yourservice. We salute you.

Here’s to all the volunteersFrom the Editor

“Heave the tea overboard!” Suchmight have been the cry over 200years ago when Sam Adams (the

patriot, not the beer) joined fellow colo-nialists to protest the English Stamp Act.Adams and his compatriots threw boxes oftea into Boston Harbor as an act of civildisobedience. Immortalized as a founda-tion block of

American democracy, the Boston TeaParty of Dec. 16, 1773 was not only aprotest against what Adams and othersthought was an unjust law, the protest wasthe intentional breaking of a law that isseen as unjust.

Move the clock ahead 238 years to Dec.5, 2011 to the Lowell Mountains where asmall group of local citizens took a standof civil disobedience against what theyconsider to be an unjust application of thelaw. In parallel with the protesters inBoston over two centuries ago, who didnot believe they should be taxed by theking, the modern-day protesters object tothe Lowell Wind Project under construc-tion on the ridge line and authorized bythe state’s Public Service Board. The windprotesters do not believe the PSB make asound decision, and they also dispute theownership of the land where a road leadsup the mountain to the construction site.

Thus, a group of six people stood in theroadway with signs reading, “Road Closed:Due To Environmental Destruction” and“Detour To Honest Energy Policy.” Theirintent was to be arrested as a way to ad-vance their cause.

They were charged with unlawful tres-pass and arrested, with Dec. 20 set as acourt date.

A seventh person was also arrested:Chris Braithwaite, the publisher of a week-ly newspaper in Barton that covers OrleansCounty.

Braithwaite was on site to report on theprotest as part of the ongoing coverage ofthe wind project he has reported consis-tently for his newspaper.

He identified himself as a working jour-nalist to law enforcement officers but wasarrested after he stated he was there tocover the event, needed to be in proximity

to the police and the protesters and wouldleave after the arrests were made.

Green Mountain Power spokespersonDorothy Schnure said the arrests for tres-passing were necessary because of safetyissues. Apparently, safety of the U.S. Con-stitution and the public’s right to know thetruth were not an issue.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Consti-tution states, “Congress shall make nolaw... abridging the freedom of speech, orof the press, or the right of the people topeaceably assemble...”

Yes, Green Mountain Power has the rightto protect its property and to prohibit ac-cess to that property. And, no, journalistsdo not have any special rights not availableto other citizens.

Citizens do have a right, however, toknow what is done in their name. HadBraithwaite not been at the protest site, thepress would not have been able to reporton the behavior of protesters or the tax-paid police enforcing a public trespass no-tice, sanctioned by the state courts and en-acted by the state Legislature. If a publicact of civil disobedience cannot be seen bythe public and the behavior of the partiesinvolved cannot be seen, the public is de-nied knowing the truth.

Civil disobedience has a long history inthis country, stretching from the time ofSam Adams, though the Civil Rights Move-ment in the 1960s to the current protest onthe Lowell Mountains. Had the press beenprevented from covering the acts of civildisobedience in American history, wecould still be living under English rule,women and people of color might still bedenied the right to vote, people who laborcould still be working unregulated, 18-hour days in unsafe conditions, public ac-commodations might still be segregated --the list goes on. Green Mountain Power,law enforcement officers, the courts andthe Vermont Legislature undermine democ-racy when they sanction the arrest of jour-nalists for doing their job.

The health and safety of Americandemocracy require that the press be al-lowed to report the news.

MIDDLEBURY—A Middlebury College political scienceprofessor resigned Dec. 31 following her July plea of no con-test to the charges of embezzlement.

Carmola was given a deferred sentence. She was alsoplaced on probation for 18 months.

Police said Kateri Carmola, 46, stole $4,800 while sheserved as treasurer of the Salisbury Historical Society. Thethefts took place over a three-month period in 2011. Policesaid Carmola claimed she used the stolen money to pay forstudent field trips. She has been paid back the money, po-

lice said.Carmola informed coworkers and students of her decision

to step down at the end of this year via an e-mail messagethat was distributed on campus.

Despite the serious charges, the educator will continue anassociation with the college, through June 2013, as a “visit-ing scholar”.

A no contest plea, as in Carmola’s case, is also called nolocontendere, the legal Latin term, means “I do not wish to con-tend.”

According to a Vermont Law School Library referencedesk assistant, a no-contest plea—while not technically aguilty plea—has the same effect as a guilty plea; it is oftenoffered as a part of a plea bargain.

for their pledge to help the Open Door Mission,” saidSharon Garafano Russell, executive director of thedowntown mission.

The nonprofit Open Door Mission helps homeless ordisplaced citizens stay in the Rutland area. It treats in-dividuals with dignity and involves them with life-skillsprograms to get them back on their feet. The mission hasmany success stories to tell over decades of operation.

According to Russell, the Rutland mission is fundedand financed by a thrift store and annual golf tourna-ment.

“This year the mission has provided over 14,000 bednights and 37,000 meals,” she said.

To purchase your bag of coal to help the Open DoorMission, stop by a Keyser office at any one of these fourlocations in the Rutland County: 190 West St. in Rutland;41 School St. in Proctor; 143 Bentley Ave. in Poultney; or5 North Railroad Rd. in Brandon.

Marathonfrom page 1

On Dec. 20, students and senior citizens, blue andwhite collar workers and local residents and visitorsalike poured into the Paramount Theatre, American Le-gion Post 31, and the College of St. Joseph gymnasiumthroughout the day for a run at the national mark set thisfall in Manchester, N.H.

Hundreds of Red Cross employees and volunteersfrom across Rutland County ushered them through theprocess, fed them a hearty meal, and sent them on theirway with gift bags stuffed with dozens of items from lo-cal businesses and non-profits.

The Gift-of-Life Marathon began in 2003, when theRed Cross asked CVPS to host a third annual employeeblood drive due to shrinking supplies. CVPS counteredwith the idea of a mega-drive, and partnered with Jaye,Gordon and WJJR to promote it. The first drive collect-ed 368 pints; the last three broke the New England record,beating Boston each time. This year, five radio stationsbroadcast live from the drive.

“We never dreamed the drive would become such a ral-lying post for the community,” Costello said. “It has be-come an annual symbol of the good in Rutland and Rut-land County, and one of the most collaborative effortsanywhere.

It’s never too late or too early to plan foryour backyard garden in Vermont. This newyear, we look at New England’s distinctivetrees and shrubs that are Cary Award win-ners. Named for a Massachusetts nursery-man, and administered by the Tower HillBotanic Garden, the awards are given to sev-eral winners each year as judged by a panelof professionals.

These are either new plant introductions,or others that aren't new but deserve wideruse in landscapes. The two winners for thisyear include a rose and a yucca—shrubs, butwhich are often grouped under perennialseven though their tops generally don’t dieback to the ground in winter.

Adam’s needle or yucca (Yucca filamen-tosa) has an interesting and different habit,consisting of long sword-shaped leaves withsharp tips (use eye protection when workingaround them, and keep children away).Flowers in June and July are on stalks to 7feet high above the basal leaves, which areonly up to 2 feet high. The large and creamywhite bell-shaped flowers are held in largeopen clusters of several dozen flowers, mak-ing quite the show. The sweet scent of flow-ers attracts a pollinator in native areas— thevery small yucca moth.

Although evergreen in winter, in colderclimates such as much of Vermont, the leavesmay get quite a bit of browning from winterinjury. This damaged growth dies back thenext season in these climates as new growthemerges. It will grow to USDA zone 6 in thenorth (0 to -10 degrees F minimum in win-ter), and in protected sites in the colder zone5.

Adam’s needle has been used medicinallyand the leaves, with their white curlythreads or filaments along the edges, havegiven rise to the species name. Native peo-ples used the strong leaf filaments to weaveinto fabrics.

This species of yucca, with its dark greenleaves, is native to southeastern states whileother species are seen in Mexico and thesouthwest. It has gained popularity with theintroduction of several cultivars (cultivatedvarieties) with variegated leaves. ‘ColorGuard’ has bright yellow centers in leaves,‘Gold Heart’ has creamy yellow centers,while ‘Bright Edge’ has wide yellow edgesto the shorter leaves. ‘Golden Sword’ alsohas bright leaf edges, only with largerleaves. ‘Variegata’ has white leaf edges.

With such striking habit, it lends itself toa specimen in borders. It is a perfect choicefor Mediterranean, Spanish, or contempo-rary style gardens. It is a good choice for ur-ban gardens as well, tolerating poor soils,

soil compaction, pollution, and winter saltspray from roads. Give well-drained soil andfull sun, although it will tolerate a few hours(3 or 4) per day of shade. Once established,the long tap root makes it quite drought tol-erant. This means too, that you should placeit where it will stay as it resents moving. Itis difficult to get all the roots, and those leftwill resprout to form new plants. In fact,root cuttings are a main method to propagatethis plant.

The other Cary winner for 2012 is the nowwell-known Knock Out roses. These have be-come the top selling roses nationwide asthey are relatively hardy, disease resistant,and long blooming. Knock Out is actually agroup of 7 different named selections withflower variations of pink or yellow. Theoriginal introduction, from the year 2000and the Wisconsin botanist William Radler,has reddish pink and single flowers. Theyare reliably hardy to USDA zone 5 (-10 to -20degrees F minimum in winter).

Although when left unchecked they’llreach 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, they can bekept shorter with spring pruning. Pruningto about 12 to 18 inches above the ground inspring may result in more vigor and bloomsin warmer areas. At the minimum, removedead growth in Spring, crowded stems to al-low more air circulation, and about every 3years remove one third of the older branch-es. There is no need to prune off spent flow-ers (termed “deadheading”) as plants are“self-cleaning”.

As with all roses, give well-drained soiland full sun. Fertilize with a rose fertilizerafter each bloom cycle during the season.Once established, these roses are quitedrought tolerant.

Use Knock Out roses in masses, in borders,or in a row to form a hedge. They combinewell with pinks (Dianthus), daylilies, peren-nial salvia, ornamental blue fescue grass,and lamb’s ear (Stachys) among other peren-nials. For annuals, consider combining themwith petunias, sun-loving coleus cultivars,licorice plant (Helichrysum), the silver plec-tranthus, and spider flower (Cleome) amongothers.

Other great trees and shrubs for New Eng-land can be found on the Cary Award web-site (www.caryaward.org).
