ECFibernet Answers
|
|
By Mary Anderson
The Bethel Selectboard and town manager Del Cloud had plenty of questions and concerns about the ECFibernet project at the December 17 board meeting, and ECFibernet representative Loredo Sola came prepared to answer them.
Sola, who had had e-mail exchanges and a long phone conversation with Cloud before the meeting, presented a comprehensive outline of the project and had prepared responses to the selectboard’s concerns with input from Paul Giuliani, a well-known lawyer and the attorney on ECFibernet’s legal committee. Explaining that Hartford would be the hub of the project because it is the site of one of only two concentration points for all internet traffic into and out of Vermont, he added that all towns would have equal rights and privileges.

By Mary Anderson. This year, the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program is celebrating its 60th anniversary and for seven years, local residents have been aiding its survival.
Bea McCullough of Bethel Lympus, who is committed to "supporting children," heard about the program and went on a mission to bring it to the local area. She discovered there was a program in Barre and made arrangements for a collection box to be placed at the family store, McCulloughs Quik Stop, on Rte. 107, just across the Bethel line in Royalton.

Fish Hatchery Says Egg Virus Problem Will Have No Impact
By Mary Anderson
A piece in the Nov. 24, 2007 Boston Globe raised some local concerns by noting that eggs being incubated at the White River National Fish Hatchery in Bethel had possibly been infected with a virus and would be destroyed.
Confirming that certain eggs would be destroyed, Bethel hatchery manager Ken Gillette stated that this would have no real impact on the ongoing work at the hatchery. He explained that the Bethel hatchery, which raises brood stock for Atlantic salmon, has a number of batches of eggs. The destroyed eggs, which arrived from wild salmon via the Cronin station in Sunderland, Mass., had been completely isolated from other brood stock in Bethel.
