Central Vermont Public Service received the Vermont Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence today for its first-in-the-nation switch to biodegradable oil. Last June, CVPS switched from fossil-based chainsaw bar and chain oil to oil made from animal fat, removing thousands of gallons of traditional oil annually from Vermont’s environment. CVPS was the first electric utility in the nation to make the switch. ‘Every gallon of bar and chain oil ultimately ends up in the fields and forests,’ CVPS spokesman Steve Costello said. ‘Our action essentially removed 5,000 gallons of fossil-based oil from Vermont’s environment over the past year, and will continue to do so every year going forward. That’s a benefit to Vermont plants, birds, animals and amphibians.’ Starting June 1, 2010, dozens of CVPS-contracted tree-trimming crews were required to use the new biodegradable chain and bar oil. The product, GreenOil, is produced by Green Earth Technologies, which has developed a series of new oils as alternatives to fossil fuels. CVPS uses seven different tree companies and typically has up to 55 tree crews working statewide at any given time. Between 1,200 and 1,400 miles of distribution and transmission lines are cleared per year. Bar oil is automatically fed from a chainsaw to lubricate the chain, but it ultimately flies off into the environment. The new oil begins to break down almost immediately in the environment, as bacteria feed on the natural animal product. ‘Petroleum-based chain oil takes years to breaks down,’ said CVPS Forestry Manager Duane Dickinson, who accepted the award on behalf of the company at a Statehouse ceremony. ‘GreenOil, the product we use, breaks down in a matter of days, and there is no chance of contamination of water sources or the food chain.’ The new oil costs a little more than regular oil, but Dickinson said it was worth a couple of extra dollars per gallon. ‘The minor added cost is worth protecting the lands and waters of the state of Vermont,’ Dickinson said. ‘At CVPS, our forestry vegetation management program is designed to maintain reliable electrical service in environmentally responsible ways. Today’s award is one more sign that we are on the right track.’CVPS’s Forestry Department has earned numerous awards and honors over the years. CVPS has won the National Arbor Day Foundation Tree Line USA Award every year since 2003. It won the 2005 National Wild Turkey Federation National Land Stewardship Award, and CVPS is a charter member of the National Wild Turkey Federation Energy to Wildlife Program.Today’s Vermont Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence is the second won by the CVPS Forestry Department, which also received the award in 2003 after it slashed herbicide usage.

The University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team will travel north this weekend to face rival Minnesota in both teams’ last regular season series before Big Ten play.The series between the two teams in January resulted in two losses for the Badgers.Wisconsin (7-27-8, 2-12-4 Big Ten) has already secured a spot at the bottom of the conference for the second year running. The young team has struggled throughout the season to scrounge up the few wins they have.Last weekend’s series proved to be a confidence booster for the Badgers with their win over No. 14 Penn State. The Badgers hope the momentum from their last home game carries over to their upcoming series against Minnesota.Minnesota (18-15-0, 13-5-0 Big Ten) ranked No. 19 is having yet another impressive season. The Gophers are coming off a split with Michigan State, recording one win and one loss, respectively. Minnesota is hoping to end their regular season with a bang to secure their rank for the Big Ten tournament beginning March 17.The Gophers will host the Badgers at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.Wisconsin keys to victoryConfidence and momentum traveling to Minnesota’s home ice will be crucial for the Badgers. With a disappointing season thus far, Wisconsin needs as much help as they can to get going into the Big Ten tournament.Missed opportunities are a recurring theme for this young Wisconsin team. Many games have resulted in close play, yet the Badgers consistently have problems putting the puck in the back of the net.Offensively, Wisconsin will need to be quick on the attack and crisp with their passing to get around the Minnesota defense. The Badgers top line will need to be on their A-game by putting pressure on the Gopher’s defense to set the tone early in the series.Wisconsin’s freshman goaltender, Matt Jurusik, has proved to be a key asset in recent games. Jurusik’s incredible performance — he had 46 saves last Saturday — resulted in a much needed win for the Badgers against Penn State. He was recently named Big Ten third star, a big honor for a freshman.Minnesota player to watch: Junior forward Justin KloosKloos, Minnesota’s captain, from Lakeville, Minnesota came out with a bang this season and was awarded the season’s first Big Ten player of the week. Kloos has spring boarded off his early season performance and has been a force for the Gophers all year.Kloos is a playmaker and one of the top passers in the conference, with three assists last Friday against Michigan State. His quick hands and keen eye make him a threat to any defense. The Badgers will have their hands full whenever Kloos is on the ice. read more
