Burlington Free Press toll-free hotline operator never heard of Essex.
Was the operator a new employee who was unfamiliar with Chittenden County? In a sense, yes. Vermont’s largest daily newspaper, which is owned by media giant Gannett Company, has outsourced nearly all of its circulation and delivery calls to a regional calling center in Louisville, Kentucky. The change, which took effect about two months ago, is part of a push by the nation’s largest newspaper publishing chain to consolidate the business operations of its 85 media properties across the United States.
... technically, no Free Press employees were laid off.

Montreal-born Triosyn is expanding south of the border.
The biological research firm makes a filter that kills viruses and bacteria before they can infect humans. And while the war on terrorism continues, the need for such products grows.
The basic component of their technology is iodine. "The chemistry is sophisticated, but the active ingredient is a natural product," according to Triosyn President Pierre Messier. The manufacturing facility will integrate the Triosyn filter into things like face masks and even the lining of tents to be used by military and medical personnel.
Senator Patrick Leahy had a big hand in securing Triosyn more than 4 million dollars worth of contracts with the Federal Government. The Senator knows first hand about the threat of bio-terrorism, after an anthrax laced letter was sent to him last fall. Vermont's adjutant general says right now our troops don't have anything like this in the event of biological warfare.

Victory For You!
WCAX TV channel 3
began as WCAX Radio at the University of Vermont’s College of Agriculture. It was used to distribute information to farmers from its outreach program, The Extension Service. Hence the CAX (College of Agriculture eXtension) call letters. ...

Two of the original programs that we broadcast back in 1954 are still on the air today. You Can Quote Me, a local news program which airs Sundays at 11:00 AM and Across the Fence, a local farm and home program that airs Monday through Friday at 12:10 PM.

WPTZ Newschannel 5 TV
is a great way for anyone who loves the Champlain Valley to keep up on the latest local news, weather and sports.
WPTZ/NewsChannel 5 is the NBC station in the Burlington, VT/Plattsburgh, NY television market. We serve most of Vermont, northern New York and southern Quebec & Ontario.
... In 1954, just in time for Christmas, those first television screens across the Champlain Valley flickered and popped and WPTZ was born. ... It was pretty rough. Before there was videotape, in the days of black & white, much of our programming was delivered live -- including all local shows and commmercials -- right from our studio.
It took 32 pioneering employees to produce, write, and star in each live broadcast. A few movies and shows like "Dragnet", Groucho Marx's "You Bet Your Life," and the first sitcom version of the carton strip "Blondie" were broadcast off film playback machines. (champlain valley five)

Best Buy has been told to cut the size of its building
and screen it from the Interstate. The state feels the developer who put it up, needs to bring it down..bring it into compliance with ther original act 250 permit.
Three months ago, the Environmental Board toured the big boxes in Williston. Noting everything from signs to size. One building posed a problem. The group says Best Buy faces the wrong way - is too high - and has the wrong kind of signs. The E-board was not pleased with the violations.
The state has now reached a deal with developers. In what could be only the second time in state history - the state says developers have to tear part of the building down - lowering Best Buy over 12 feet on one side. Marcy Harding told Channel 3 News: "I hope it sends a message it's important to build in compliance with plans and there are ramifications for failing to do so.

Burlington Free Press won this year's Joseph L. Brechner
Center for Freedom of Information award given out each year by the University of Florida.
The award was presented for the paper's work on the lack of information surrounding regulation of doctors; specifically, a four-part series called "Code of Silence" by staff writer Stephen Kiernan in December 2001.
Kiernan's series told the story of the late Lois Tarczewski, who died 10 years after spinal surgery had gone awry. Her husband, Richard, said that had Lois known that her surgeon was not proficient in that type of surgery and had experienced bad outcomes in the past, she would have gone elsewhere.
The series, as well as subsequent stories and editorials, led to legislative reform of Vermont laws governing regulation of doctors, including a provision to make more information available to the public about Vermont doctors' records of performance.

... Corm and the Coach consistently draw top ratings. They recently added a woman sidekick, Mary Cenci, to replace the departed Lana Wilder.

Each year... the State hands out about 16-million dollars
worth of grants and loans to Vermont towns looking to build... expand... or improve their sewage treatment systems. The financial aid is parceled out according to a priority list that ranks the projects according to health... safety and financial need.
Now the Dean Administration is adding a growth factor. The money will only go to projects serving growth centers. Gina Campolli of the state's Environmental Conservation agency told lawmakers today: "The test is intended to make sure that public money will not be used on facilities that face permitting uncertainty by contributing to scattered development and sprawl." ... Despite those misgivings... the legislative review panel approved the new project ranking system on a four to three vote.

Federal Communications Commission officers have ordered
an unlicensed station to stop broadcasting on FM radio, according to members of the volunteer station known as Free Radio Burlington.
The station has been broadcasting without an FCC license for more than two years.

The FCC engineers told the homeowner to stop broadcasting or face further visits from federal marshals.
Free Radio Burlington member Patrick Johnson would not say where the station was located -- somewhere in the Old North End, according to the station's Web site. Although the station is no longer broadcasting at 87.9 FM, it continues to broadcast at its Web site, www.freeradioburlington.org.
"We're basically trying to reclaim the airwaves," Johnson said. "From the first day we started we knew we might be visited by the FCC."

History Unveiled in Burlington
A crowd gathered in Battery Park in Burlington, where 140 years ago the Vermont troops mustered to be sent south to fight the war that would end with the Union victory that preserved the nation.
"A rider came down the line from Grant's headquarters to say, 'Lower your carbines men, lower your carbines, the war is over," said Howard Coffin, a Civil War Historian.
Among those men, were members of Company K of the First Vermont Volunteer Cavalry. The Vermonters fought at Gettysburg under the commander whose statue dominates Battery Park. It underwent a restoration this year, and this gathering was timed for Veterans Day weekend. The unveiling reveals the striking figure of General William Wells, who earned the Congressional Medal of Honor on the bloody battlefield at Gettysburg.
A piece of history has been preserved so that the next generations understand the meaning of that war so long ago.
Andy Potter - Channel 3 News
In an effort to win more viewers, the area's NBC television
affiliate launched a 5 p.m. newscast this week.... WPTZ/NewsChannel 5 hopes to capture more viewers by beating WCAX, Channel 3, and WVNY, Channel 22, to the airwaves with the earliest evening news program, said news director Andy Wormser.
Among the three stations, WPTZ ranks second for the 6 p.m. news and first for the 11 p.m. news, according to Neilsen Media Research. WCAX has the top ranking for the 6 p.m. news.
Neither WCAX, the CBS affiliate, nor WVNY, the ABC affiliate, has plans to change its format. In addition to morning and noon news, WCAX produces a one-hour newscast at 6 p.m. and a half- hour newscast at 11 p.m. WVNY has morning news cut-ins to the Good Morning America show and a half-hour newscast at 6 and 11 p.m.
... Peter Martin, general manager of WCAX, said his station plans no changes in format. The one-hour news show at 6 p.m. is unusual in a market the size of Burlington's. The one-hour newscast started in 1968, Martin said.

Six pilots from the Vermont Air National Guard are gearing up
for a flight testing laser guided bombing equipment used at night.
... Once the pilots are suited up in all of the necessary gear they head out.
With last minute checks of the F-16s done, the aircrafts are taxied down to the end of the runway where they wait for clearance. The mission will bring them to the coast of Maine, where most of the simulated bombings will take place.
... Night training is nothing new. But the guard is now stepping up its night-time missions from 1/5th of all flying time to 1/3rd. That's because the U.S. military wants to exploit its dominance over the night skies.
But with the anniversary of 9-11 fast approaching, the Guard is sending out alerts to the public not to be alarmed. This is after all, just a test.

The anti-war marches have brought out a new kind of media
coverage: individuals with their own video cameras who record the events and distribute the results through independent media centers.
Some of the protesters took to the streets in Seattle three years ago when riots disrupted the World Trade Organization summit. Matt Holland and Mark Floegel lived in Seattle at the time. During that clash, the independent media movement was born. The protesters accused the mainstream media of bias in the destruction they showed -- and decided to cover their own event.
... The concept is simple: the protesters become their own reporters. The Internet made it possible, and now Vermont IndyMedia operates its own web site in Burlington. But how objective is this new medium?

The fuzz got a buzz in Burlington Friday night.
Vermont cops have been busy collecting donations -- and pledged to have their heads shaved in public -- on Church Street in Burlington. It's a fundraiser for Camp Ta-Kum-Ta in Colchester. The camp is for kids with cancer. It's free for Vermont children and kids treated in Vermont.
Burlington Police Ofc. Mike Warren says, "This is my third year doing this. I want to make sure the kids have a good time."
And the kids sure seem to.
"Some never get out - some are in wheel chairs. It gives them a chance to get out and do something in the summer," says camper Ryan Dulude.
The camp kids did most of the trimming -- with a little help from stylists at O'Briens. Since the head shaving began back in 1998 officers have raised more than ,000 for the camp.

The Independent candidate for Vermont governor confronted
the Democrat Thursday, challenging the content of some new campaign ads.
Con Hogan takes issue with Doug Racine's claims that he is the only "major candidate for governor with experience in business." Hogan points to decades of experience in private enterprise. "I have more major league business experience and I'll stack that up against his car dealership any day of the week."
Racine stands by his ads. He says he doesn't consider Hogan to be a major candidate. "With all due respect to Mr. Hogan, he's not a major party candidate. But even more important than that, he hasn't shown up in the polls as a very strong candidate. No broad based support from Vermonters, so by my definition there are two major candidates in this race," Racine said.
Racine's ads are aimed at Republican candidate Jim Douglas. Racine is part owner of a South Burlington car dealership. Douglas claims no experience working in private business.

The Point
began its operation way back in 1977 as 96.7 WNCS. Founded by Jeb and Susan Spaulding...the station presented an out-of-the-ordinary mix of music, including light rock, country, folk, jazz and classical. With an air product like this, WNCS did not fall into any of the designated formats of the day. Through it's own musical evolution and that of the radio industry, the station became a pioneer in the format now called Adult Album Alternative, also known as Triple-A and A3. With Vermont radio legend Steve Zind at the helm as program director, the station consistently presented a challenging playlist of current music and heritage favorites.
Though the Point has grown in many ways in the past twenty years, it has remained committed to presenting a diverse blend of music, much of which gets little exposure anywhere else, with an eclectic playlist of rock 'n roll, progressive pop, folk, reggae, blues and more. There has always been a Sunday night jazz program on the station,

There's something missing from the steamship Ticonderoga.
The boat sits on dry land at the Shelburne Museum and looks much like it did when it last sailed Lake Champlain nearly 50 years ago, with one notable exception -- the ship's work boat is missing.
... Officials guess the boat disappeared when the Ti was first moved to the museum in 1956. So now Stulen is bringing that piece of history back, by building a replica that vessel.
... When the boat is finished, Chip hopes its presence will help visitors better appreciate the Ticonderoga.
... Stulen will work on the boat on the grounds of the museum through Saturday. After that he'll finish it up in his own shop before water testing it and then placing it on the sit of the original, on top of the Ticonderoga.

UVM Says Damage From Acid Rain Pollution is Far Worse
Than Previously Believed. Amid the recent hoopla over the EPA's and Bush administration's plans to make it easier for power plants, oil refineries and chemical factories (major sources of acid rain nationwide) to expand without installing new pollution controls and the U.S. Senate's passing the Clean Power Act, there's an important new wrinkle to the story.
A new study by researchers at the University of Vermont finds that acid rain's damage to America's forests may be much more widespread than previously believed. It may actually create conditions in trees similar to compromised immune systems in humans, setting the scenario for grave potential implications.

child sexual abuse over the past decade. But sex abuse remains a huge problem, and the latest round of state budget cuts has targeted an agency that works full time on the problem.
This is the third year that parents and their children have marched to raise money for an organization called Prevent Child Abuse - Vermont. The non-profit group oversees eight programs for kids and families, including a parents' emergency hotline that would be the only one of its kind if a state hotline is cut as part of the latest budget cuts.
Sen. Jim Jeffords (I-Vermont) told the crowd, "All of those programs make a difference in this nation because we raise here in Vermont the best adults you could ever have, because they start out with the best possible opportunities (as children)."

Vermont International Film Foundation
is dedicated to screening high quality, socially conscious, independent film and video. All over the world filmmakers produce works to enlighten and educate people on the problems we all face. We believe that film, like no other medium, has the power to capture the attention and emotions of every one of us.
The Vermont International Film Foundation (VIFF) was founded in 1985 by two longtime peace and social justice activists, George and Sonia Cullinen of Wilmington.
VIFF has produced 12 festivals, introducing diverse and important works to our audience. Over the years since the first festival, the Vermont International Film Festival has become the premier documentary film and video festival in the region. Receiving worldwide recognition, the Foundation was honored in 1990 as Sister Festival to the Hiroshima International Film and Video Festival.

You can tell we're in the homestretch of Campaign 2002
with all the pumped up political advertising on TV and radio. But this year, the ads have an edge, at least by Vermont standards. Democrat Doug Racine and Republican Jim Douglas are lobbing attack ads at each other. But does negative advertising really work? Middlebury College Political Science Professor Eric Davis says yes.
"Negative advertising is most effective in trying to help undecided voters make up their mind," said Davis Tuesday. The number of undecided voters in the governor's race is a pivotal bloc because of the slim margin between Douglas and Racine.
While the race has been called civil, the campaigns stepped up the tone earlier this month. Both camps launched ads criticizing each other's position on issues. "They're negative but not necessarily with a bad connotation. I would rather call these ads comparative," Davis said.
