Granite train derails bike path linkBy David Delcore
Staff Writer | April 23,2013Adam Caira / Staff Photo
Chauntelle Eckhaus, center, of Calais, and her daughters, Annaliese Eckhaus, 5, left, and Eliana Eckhaus, 9, walk and ride scooters on the recreation path along Stone Cutters Way in Montpelier on Monday. Plans to extend the path through Berlin are being stymied by issues with the use of the rail bed.BERLIN When it comes to plans to construct a 14.5-mile bike path from Montpelier through Berlin and Barre and up into the hills of Barre Town, working around the railroad is easier said than done.
That is particularly true in Berlin, where officials have shelved plans to construct a key segment of the Central Vermont Regional Path along an unused rail bed that is owned by the state and leased to the Washington County Railroad.
The problem, state and local officials say, can be traced to the railroads evolving plan to haul waste granite from Rock of Ages Corp. in Barre Town to various out-of-state customers using a route that mirrors the conceptual alignment of much of the proposed bike path.
An anticipated increase in rail traffic, coupled with unspecified improvements in key areas along the route, has raised fresh questions about the viability of the route chosen many years ago.
It was an obvious choice.
Not just because the railroad was constructed along the bottom of the river valley that runs between Barre and Montpelier, though there was something to be said for selecting a well-traveled route that took steep grades out of play. Working with the railroad wherever possible also meant dealing with a single property owner the state simplifying the potentially complex and expensive right of way process.
Of course that was before Rock of Ages discovered a market for mountains of its granite grout and determined rail was the most cost-effective way to ship the waste material out of state.
That was more than three years ago.
Uncertainty involving railroad improvements needed to accommodate the granite train stalled development of a 3.5-mile segment of the regional path that would have linked Montpelier and Berlin.
Montpelier officials recently reactivated their efforts to advance a 2.1-mile segment of the path one that would run from Granite Street, where its existing path ends, all the way to the civic center at the base of Gallison Hill Road.
According to Andre Deforge, project manager for the state Agency of Transportation, that will require modifying an alignment to avoid minor conflicts that have surfaced with the railroad in Montpelier. The Berlin leg of the path is another story, he said.
Berlin officials indicated as much in a letter Deforge has passed up the chain of command.
Berlins plan to construct a 1.4-mile segment of path that would link up near Agway on Route 2 with the one proposed by Montpelier required the use of an inactive rail bed that the railroad has since indicated it needs to accommodate the granite hauling operation.
The railroad has determined that the abandoned rail line will be required to store and switch cars as part of this operation and (is) unwilling to give up the proposed alignment to the town (of Berlin) for a bike path, the town wrote in a letter that was approved by the Select Board and mailed to Deforge last week.
According to the letter, working around the abandoned rail line isnt a viable option due to surrounding wetlands.
Town Administrator Jeff Schulz outlined those concerns when discussing the matter with the Select Board last week.
Its becoming clear, at this point, this project is probably not feasible, he said.
With that in mind, Schulz suggested the board try to persuade state officials to waive the payback requirement of federal funds that financed preliminary engineering and consider returning money that was donated for the bike path.
Tom Willard, who serves on the local bike path committee, said roughly $200,000 has been spent on preliminary engineering and that barring a waiver the town would be required to pay that money back.
Its pretty sad when you think about how much time and effort went into this, he said, suggesting that creating a multiuse recreational path linking Barre and Montpelier was a no-brainer.
It makes all the sense in the world to connect these two cities, he said.
The question now is: how? We need to find an alignment that is affordable, safe and can be reliably built, Willard said, admitting that while there are some possibilities that might be worth exploring, none is nearly as obvious as the abandoned rail bed.
The old rail bed was essentially a bike path ready to be built, he said. Thats what makes it so disappointing.
Finding an alternate route through Berlin is imperative to preserve plans for a regional path that has been in the planning stages for well over a decade. Only three segments of the proposed path currently exist. One runs from the Dog River Recreation Area to Granite Street in Montpelier, another from Fairview Street in Barre to Bridge Street in South Barre and a third from Barre Town Elementary and Middle School to Rock of Ages manufacturing plant in Barre Town.
Barre is poised to start a fourth segment of path that would run between Berlin and Blackwell streets. However, officials there are trying to iron out their own railroad-related wrinkle that could disrupt a long-settled alignment on a separate section of that path.

Northern Ag Expo fixture returnsDave Franzen says he made his first "big" appearance 18 years ago at the Northern Ag Expo. His topic was "All About Ammonia."
By: Jonathan Knutson, Agweek
Dave Franzen says he made his first "big" appearance 18 years ago at the Northern Ag Expo. His topic was "All About Ammonia."
"I'd spoken at smaller field days around the area, but that (the 1994 Ag Expo) was my first big presentation," says Franzen, the North Dakota State University Extension Service's soil specialist who joined NDSU in June 1994.
If you've attended the Northern Ag Expo in the past, you've probably heard Franzen speak on some aspect of soil fertility. He's given a presentation at the event every year since his 1994 debut.
The 42nd annual Northern Ag Expo will be held Nov. 27 and 28 at the Fargodome in Fargo, N.D. Franzen will speak at 2 p.m. Nov. 28
His topics this year include planting in dry soil, monitoring potassium levels and the development of mathematical formulas linking optical sensing devices and yield estimates early in the growing season.
Much of the Upper Midwest was gripped by a long wet cycle that ended this summer. So some area farmers are out of practice in planting in dry soil.
A common concern among farmers is whether fields are too dry to make use of anhydrous ammonia, a widely used source of nitrogen, or "N" as it's often called. Nitrogen is crucial to plant growth.
"It never gets too dry to use it (anhydrous ammonia). There's always some water (in the soil). Don't worry about that," Franzen says.
But when anhydrous ammonia isn't applied properly, "There's a serious danger of it being lost to the air," he says. "If you see or smell anhydrous after it's covered (by soil), it's a problem."
In that case, farmers should dig at a deeper depth or come back when soil conditions are more conducive, he says.
Area farmers also should monitor potassium levels in their fields, as it is an essential nutrient for plant growth.
Historically, most fields in the area haven't been short on potassium.
"The rate of normal release from soil was pretty close to what small grains required," Franzen says.
Today, however, many farmers have switched from small grains to corn and soybeans, and the latter two require more potassium than small grains, he says.
Potassium typically is supplied to fields in the form of potash fertilizer.
Area farmers "generally don't put any (potash) on. But now they're going to have to look at it a lot closer, he says.
Franzen also will talk about his work involving optical sensing equipment and yield estimates. His goal is helping farmers apply the right amount of fertilizer during the growing season.
"It's not completely futuristic. We're not the first to do it. But we're developing it for North Dakota. This will be ours," he says of his research.
As technology improves, farmers in North Dakota and elsewhere can fine-tune the amount of fertilizer applied on every square foot of a field. That way, they improve yields on good chunks of the field and don't waste fertilizer on poor parts of the field that can't utilize it.

We're approaching the final months of 2013 - and, as a result, we now have a good idea as to which players deserve a place in the world's Team of the Year.
There's been no major international tournament - although the Confederations Cup served up plenty of entertainment - but there's been plenty of drama in all of the domestic leagues around the world.
The players on this list have been, in my opinion, the best-performing players in their respective positions over the course of 2013.
Feel free to disagree - and don't forget to have your say in the comments section below.

I notice that most of my friends who are lucky NOT to store weight in their stomachs, and have relatively flat tummy, they usually eat a lot of meat and protein that is of fish, red meat, chicken, etc.
What alternatives do we have as vegans to try and attain the same? I mean - to keep weight from coming immediately to our stomachs, is this more because of salt and sugar? if we reduce that and substituted tofu, soy, lentils, nuts for the meat that most omnivores eat - could we see similar results with our stomachs? Just wondering =) I don't mind weight going all over the rest of my body haha, but I do like to have a lean stomach!
I don't know the answer to that one. I'm within my normal BMI, but still have a stomach. It's slowly disappearing with weight though - possibly it's the last area to disappear. Your stress levels (past or present) could affect this also. I've usually worked in fairly stressful jobs.
There is no evidence to support that food types contribute more or less to abdominal fat. It's excess calories in general that lead to abdominal fat. Other issues such as genetics, age, and exercise, also play roles in where fat is stored. Best advice that you can control is to eat a lot of fiber, don't over consume calories (stay low-fat and eat whole foods), and find an exercise plan that helps you burn and metabolize more.

When do you know if you've done just enough modifications to your Corvette, or if you've been cursed with the insatiable compulsion to continue its customization, even beyond all reasonable boundaries of sense and sanity? That is the question VETTE posed to Michael Burton, a 60-year-old Boeing electrician in Strasburg, Virginia, who is on an all-consuming campaign to continue metamorphosing his Corvette until the day he dies.
"My Corvette is a Z06 'wannabe,' and I proudly proclaim it on its license plate," Burton says. "I owned an '01 C5 Z06 and loved the power of the 405hp LS6, but I was blown away when the C6 was introduced in 2005. For the first time since 1962, the Corvette had fixed headlamps. I had to buy one."
Of course, after owning a C5 Z, Burton was disappointed that the Z06 was not offered for the 2005 model year. Despite the pain of not moving significantly forward in horsepower, he wanted a C6 that would allow him to see the sky overhead. Patiently, he waited the entire model year, then found a Velocity Yellow Chevy Corvette convertible built with the Z51 performance option and the LT3 trim package, which he bought from Criswell Chevrolet in Gaithersburg, Maryland, in August 2006.
"I was pleased with the factory performance of the LS2 convertible, until a trip to Corvettes at Carlisle in 2007 changed my life," Burton says. "It started simple enough; I just wanted an engine tune to wake up my LS2. I thought it would be an easy mod, and something inexpensive that I wouldn't get carried away with."
That's when something strange happened. Though the engine tune's task was to elicit performance gains by modifying the Corvette's air, fuel, and spark tables, it had a psychological effect on Burton, too. "I had intended to keep the Vette stock, but once I got the tune, I realized that it was destined to have more power than a C6 Z06...a lot more power," he says.
He stayed in touch with tuner Corvettes of Westchester, based in Westchester, New York, and discussed with shop owner Chuck "Cow" Mosello how the convertible could become unconquerable. Before long, Burton was making the 800-mile round trip to Mosello's shop-first for a VaraRam cold-air intake, a custom-grind cam, and 4.10 gears-then later for a Callaway/Magnuson 122 supercharger package, followed by a Z06 rearend (also equipped with 4.10 gears), a Zoom dual-disc "Science Friction" clutch, a DeWitts aluminum racing radiator, Kooks headers (1 7/8-inch primaries and 3-inch collectors), an '08 Corvette NPP exhaust system with a NakidParts Mild 2 Wild conversion, and Pfadt competition coilovers and "Pfatty" sway bars.
Along the way the LS2's 6.0L bottom end remained stock, though the valvetrain was upgraded with Comp 981 springs and titanium retainers. The sum of the mods was significant: a whopping 513 hp and 463 lb-ft at the rear wheels, measured on Corvettes of Westchester's dynamometer.
That brings us to part two of our story.
Have you ever opened one door that led to another, and then mysteriously to another? That's how Burton describes how his car received so many body and appearance mods, and, in the process, was transformed into one of the wildest-image C6 convertibles ever featured in VETTE magazine.
"I bought a Lingenfelter CES hood because I liked its aggressive look, then I commissioned Layne Designs in Middletown (Virginia), for the 'small' project," Burton explains. "The problem was I was not well at just doing 'small' projects. After seeing how the owner, Chris Layne, had developed a 'true fire' motif and applied it to motorcycles, I asked him if he would customize the underneath of my hood as well.
"He did a great a great job on the hood, and all would have been fine, until I added the Magnuson 122 supercharger," Burton continues. "The hood wasn't tall enough for it, and I had to take it back to him and add 2 inches to the hoodscoop height, then fill in the grilles with aluminum. Then, of course, he had to repaint the entire hood, including all the airbrushing."

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Once you've heard the insight--that startups are different from big companies--it seems so obvious. Yet too often entrepreneurs, and those that teach them, approach the building of new companies with the same goals, staff structures and assumptions that motivate the management of large companies. Startup founders build teams to focus on engineering, and on the process of creating a product and bringing it to market.
Some of the very first decisions founders must make early on in their ventures are crucially important to the future of the business. Many of these decisions concern the ubiquitous "people problems" that challenge even experienced entrepreneurs. When should I found? Should I co-found with someone? With whom? How should we split the equity? Bad or ill-informed choices at critical junctures could have significant consequences for startups. In fact, research has suggested that 65 percent of new firm failures were related to problems within the management team.
Can you guess where the follow startups were founded-- GameStop, Woot, Words with Friends, SOFTLAYER? Probably Silicon Valley, right? No. How about Boston? Wrong again. I'll give you a hint: it's the fourth largest media market in the country, home to 18 Fortune 500 companies and boasts two major airports, serving as headquarters for two major airlines. Sounds like a pretty good place to start a company, right? Dallas, and the surrounding area called the "Metroplex", sure thinks so and it wants you to start thinking so as well. On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the emerging startup scene in Dallas. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found here.
Something extraordinary happened in Kansas City last Thursday. For the second year in a row, some of Kansas City's largest organizations participated in a reverse pitch. KCNext, the host and organizer, brought in a capacity crowd of over 200 entrepreneurs and other Global Entrepreneurship Week event participants. There were 65 events in Kansas City spread across a week and a half. But this event was different. This one was special.
Last night I had the privilege of watching the first ever Get in the Ring Competition in the United States. Though this competition is in its sixth year, this was the first year that the United States had participated. The process began in August with groups of judges sorting through about 300 applications from startups all across the country. After several rounds of judging, the final eight startups were invited to Kansas City to participate in the U.S. version of Get in the Ring, the American Startup Clash.
Even with the most intuitive educational material, sometimes the most important thing a students needs is the ability to ask questions. For entrepreneurs, who are often lifelong learners, this is essential to the application of the material to their business. While online learning can facilitate opportunities to learn lessons anytime, anywhere that might not otherwise be available, the opportunity to engage directly with experts creates important connections and discussions.
What if we could take the top talent coming out of colleges and universities today, those that tend to feed into law school, med school, Wall Street and consulting, and put them in startups all over the country? Imagine the job growth possibilities we could create in the country just by giving recent graduates a taste of that entrepreneurial bug. Now, what if I told you there's an organization trying to do just that. Enter--Venture for America.
During my years at the Kauffman Foundation I have seen firsthand the effect that education can have on the development of entrepreneurs and their companies. The entrepreneurs with whom I have worked have taken the lessons they have learned and applied them to great effect in their endeavors as founders. These entrepreneurs benefited from opportunities to learn critical skills, and from gaining an understanding of crucial decisions or junctures that often can derail entrepreneurial businesses.
Last week, we hosted Ice House Facilitator Training here at the Foundation. We had people come from across the country and the international community to be trained in how to facilitate an entrepreneurial mindset to members of their community. I had the chance to sit down with one of the facilitators, Rob Elwood, and learn about his reason for coming to this training, and how he sees it benefiting his community in Annapolis, Md.

New For 2014The 2014 Kia Soul is all-new, and it improves upon a previously enticing package.
Vehicle SummaryIn 2009, Kia was known for crappy, uncool cars. Today, it's one of the hippest automakers around. The Soul played a big part in catalyzing that rapid change. The funky box car went on sale, resonated with buyers, became a success, and has been one of Kia's best sellers since. Hoping to keep a good thing going, Kia is bringing out a brand-new Soul for 2014. Not only is it new, the 2014 Kia Soul is seriously improved. It's quieter, it handles better, it's on a bigger platform, it's more comfortable, it's more spacious, and it's prettier. It's a much better car, and the last Soul was pretty good to begin with. Kia is doing it right, and this second-generation Soul shows just how good the Korean automaker can be.
OverviewBlock-shaped cars are dying. The Honda Element is a fossil on used-car lots, and the Scion xB is going to be discontinued. But there is one car that can carry the funky-box, compact-crossover class, a car that outsells the Scion by six to one -- the 2014 Kia Soul. The Soul has a bunch of mojo that buyers have loved for about four years, and now there's a new Soul for 2014.
Are you an 18- to 29-year-old male? Are you single, individualistic, and into music? Well then, the Kia Soul is the perfect car for you. At least that's what Kia tells us. The Android-based navigation and infotainment setup will likely please buyers in that demographic, but the Soul will impress just about anyone (of any age) who gets into it.
The 2014 Kia Soul rides on an all-new chassis that is about 29 percent stiffer than the last car's. The Soul's front and rear suspension setups have been upgraded, and the front subframe gets bushings to reduce ride harshness. There's electrically assisted power steering, not the old car's hydraulic system, and a six-speed automatic transmission, an upgrade to the last car's four-speed slushbox; both function and feel much better than the parts they replace. The new Soul is better looking than its predecessor, too, taking styling cues from Kia's popular Track'ster concept car.
All of these improvements should ensure that the new Soul, like the old Soul, will carry the funky-box class on its own.
You'll like:
- Better ride quality, less road noise
- Deceivingly spacious
- Good steering
You won't like:
- Polarizing exterior styling
- Only the lowest trim gets a stick shift
- Small cargo area with rear seats raised
