The developers of the proposed North Springfield Sustainable Energy Project, a

biomass plants that the project was “neither clean nor green.” Dan Ingold,
senior technical manager for Weston Solutions Inc., one of the two partners
behind the woodchip plant along with Winstanley Enterprises, said the project
was not dirtier than the Mount Tom coal-fired plant in Holyoke, Mass., nor would
it have an adverse effect on the state’s forests. Rutland Herald

VELCO Permitted & Non-Permitted Uses of Transmission Rights-of-Way
In the
last week, VELCO has dropped off a handout at the town office on Permitted and
non permitted uses of transmission Rights of Way. A right-of-way is a corridor
of land that VELCO uses to access, construct, operate and maintain electric
facilities. Transmission rights-of-way typically contain wood or metal poles or
structures carrying high-voltage electric and communications lines. Most
of VELCO's rights-of-way are established through the purchase of
perpetual easements from owners of property, some acquired recently, but most
decades old. At the time the easements were acquired, the landowners received
compensation for the land crossed by the rights-of-way, and they granted VELCO,
or its predecessors, permanent easement rights that remain intact even upon a
sale of the underlying land. Where an easement exists, anyone who purchases the
land remains subject to the terms of VELCO's permanent easement rights. To
learn more about this topic, pick up a copy of the handout at the town office,
go on-line, e-mail realestate@velco.com or call
802-770-6357.

5. Fall
Exhibit of Woodblock Prints and Weaving
The Barn
Gallery at Quarry Road Studios in Proctorsville will once again be open to the
public from Saturday October 6th through Sunday October 14th. Alan and Wendy Regier will display
their recent work on paper and with fiber, and demonstrate how they are made.
Alan Regier is
currently making Wood Block Prints from his original drawings. He started
“playing around” with printing 10 years ago but in the last 3 years has focused
much of his energy developing his skills.
Much of Alan’s work focuses on ordinary objects that we might overlook
in our busy lives: a pencil, a chair, the way a vine curves around a
squash. Alan carves multiple
blocks - one block for each color in the drawing - and then prints the inked
blocks onto handmade paper.
This summer one of Alan’s woodblock prints was accepted for the AVA
Gallery Summer Juried Art Exhibition.
Wendy Regier
is a weaver, spinner and dyer. She
is currently designing double woven cowls in tensel, a wood based fiber, and
handspun, hand dyed wool. Beside
the cowls, Wendy will have a selection of scarves, shawls and throws available,
as well as hand dyed yarns. Wendy,
a founding member of Fiber Arts in Vermont (most commonly recognized as Six
Loose Ladies Fiber Shop), recently served on the Vermont State Craft Center
designation committee. She taught
weaving at the Black River Academy for many years.
In addition to
the 200 year old English style Barn (recently renovated thanks to a grant from
Vermont’s Historic Preservation Barn grant fund), the adjacent carving and
weaving studios will be open.
The Regiers
invite people to stop in throughout the Columbus Day holiday week from 11:00 to
5:00. Their web site is:
www.quarryroadstudios.com; phone: 802-226-7331. Quarry Road Studios Barn Gallery is located off 20 Mile
Stream Road. Signs will be posted
on RTs 103 and 131 to direct visitors to the farm.

7. BRGNS
Stick Season Social October 19th at Bella Luna Ristorante
Black River
Good Neighbor Services is holding its third annual Stick Season Social at Bella
Luna on Friday October 19th at 6:00 p.m.
“Stick season is the season with no leaves, no snow, no free concerts
and not much to do – until now” said Peter LaBelle, President of BRGNS. This is a fun fund raising dinner that
will help BRGNS (a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization) with operating costs so
it can continue to help local people in need of food, rent, utilities &
heat assistance.
