I I I I I 'n THE BURLINGTONFREE PRESS FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1994 VERMONT IN BRIEF Bolton home damaged in arson BOLTON An arson caused about $100,000 in damage to a Bolton Access Road residence, and police are expected to make an arrest in a few days. The Bolton Volunteer Fire Department was called to the home of Felix and Trudy Martell just before 10 a.m. Thursday. The house was destroyed. Upon investigation, the state police fire investigator discovered the blaze was started in a basem*nt bedroom.

Police also determined that the fire had been set. A suspect has been identified, police said, but declined to reveal whom. There was no injury to the occupants or the firefighters. Waterskier hurt in collision COLCHESTER A woman was taken to the Medical Center Hospital of Vermont on Thursday after a waterskiing mishap on Lake Champlain near Clay Point Road. The woman, whom police couldn't identify Thursday night, suffered head and neck injuries after her head knocked into the knee of another waterskier at about 5:15 p.m.

The two were attempting a stunt in which one person stood on the shoulders of the other. The force of the collision knocked a woman unconscious for about a half-hour. She was in the first stages of hypothermia when Colchester Rescue arrived. The extent of her injuries was unknown Thursday night, police said. From staff reports Program offers ENOSBURG The Adult Basic Education Program will offer a class on a cable television public access channel that will prepare people to take the GED test.

The class, which will also be taught at Enosburg Falls High School library from 6:30 to 8:30 IN MEMORIAM Ruth Elizabeth Wills Mahan Feb. 22, 1921-August 19, 1984 Mom, It's been 10 years since you left me behind to fend for myself on Earth. You helped me through some trying times (pneumonia at birth, smashed up fingers and mumps at 7 years of age), along with an event you hated to see come (the acquisition of my driver's license on You were afraid you would lose me forever when that happened. But I hope I proved you wrong. When Dad was busy with the farm chores, I would go to the grocery store for you in a pinch.

You taught me two qualities that are good to have (be a good listener and offer solutions to people's problems). You and Dad also taught me about having a faithful marriage. I was just as sad on Nov. 9th for you and Dad that you couldn't celebrate your 40th wedding anniversary together as Dad was. I was just kidding about the pizza and Pepsi request every morning when you tried to get me up for the school bus just the same way I was just kidding about the biscuits you made for strawberry shortcake (I called them dog biscuits, but honestly you made great strawberry shortcake).

Since you've me, Jimmy got married in 1992, and I got a promotion at my job earlier this year. Also, Nancy's been on a diet that has her weighing less than she did when she was in 8th grade! Also, your grand niece Julie Morse is getting married! I stated when I got my promotion only 2 things would make me happier; finding the right woman to marry, so I can have a marriage like you Dad (in terms of faithfulness) (also, SO that my wife would greet me at the door with a smile and a cold caffeine free Diet Pepsi in hand; like you did when I got off the bus and you greeted me with a cold Pepsi and hugs and kisses) and to help my wife in the delivery room give birth to our first child. In closing Mom, I want you to know that I miss you very much and I hope you and Dad have a happy 50th Anniversary in heaven this coming November 9th. Thank you Mom for creating and raising me.

Continued from Page 1B stream in the heart of Vermont, that in no way presents any substantive water quality issues, to change the direction of their own longtime federal precedent in a manner that we think is in direct violation of federal law," said Stephen Sease, director of planning for the Agency of Natural Resources. The FERC ruling comes as hundreds of dams around the country are coming up for relicensing many for the first time in 50 years. States are using a provision in the Clean Water Act that calls on them to issue or deny water quality certificates for new hydro licenses as a way to exert new clout over power dams.

Vermont, for instance, is fighting for removal of a 1957- vintage dam on the Clyde River blamed for destroying a landlocked salmon hatchery. That effort has triggered a major fight with the dam's owner, Citizens Utilities Corp. One major issue in the dam relicensing fight has been over whether states' authority over water quality extends only to the chemical makeup of water or also to the quantity of water left in the river by a dam. States got a big boost this May from the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in a case involving a dam proposed by the city of Tacoma, on the Dosewallips River that state water quality certificates could include water quantity issues because of river levels' effects on fisheries.

Interment will be in North Ferris- Margaret Bowman of American Rivers, who chairs a hydropower reform coalition of 15. national environmental groups, said it appeared the FERC was. using the Tunbridge Mills case to try to limit the effects of the high" court's ruling and reassert its own" jurisdiction. A spokesman at the FERC' office in Washington said Thurs-91 day that no one would be able to talk about the ruling.

Boeri said while he hadn't' objected to the state's conditions, he wasn't entirely happy with, them, either, agreeing to them, only after extensive negotiations. Most offensive to Boeri was a "reopener" clause that would' have allowed the state to open up, his license for review in the future. "If in 20 years the state decided that sea lamprey should be able to come up the river, they, could make us put in a fish ladder; for sea lamprey," Boeri said. Nevertheless, he agreed to the state's conditions and was prepared to take his lumps when his license application went before FERC. FERC also altered his agreement with the state in the state's favor, requiring Boeri to increase stream flows to a level the state had entered negotiations asking for, Boeri said.

He said the state should not be granted party status before the FERC, adding that he found it "strange" that Vermont officials Texas.
