Bristol cop leaves Full Steam Ahead woman cuffed to wall SOUTH BURLINGTON — A Bristol police officer allegedly left Chantel Storti handcuffed to a wall outside of a South Burlington prison for nearly 30 minutes last week. The incident stems from an interdepartment squabble over where the woman was to be housed. According to news reports, Storti was underdressed for the winter weather when she was left outside the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility. Prison guards called the Vermont State Police in response to the incident. Troopers arrived on the scene to investigate the bizarre happening. The incident and the Bristol Police Department are now the subject of a criminal investigation by the state police.
Get your local crime records online The Vermont Criminal Information Center (VCIC), a program of the Criminal Justice Services of the Vermont Department of Public Safety, announced last week that they have launched a new service that allows citizens and businesses to retrieve Vermont criminal conviction records over the Internet. The service is available through the state’s official website, http://www.vermont.gov. In 2008, the Vermont Legislature passed a new law allowing for Vermont criminal conviction records to be purchased and retrieved online. The legislation allows anyone to obtain a criminal conviction report on any person for any reason provided they have the individual’s name and date of birth. Online requests will be queried against the Vermont criminal record repository maintained by the VCIC. Only conviction information or a no record response is returned to the service user. “We are very pleased to be able to offer this important service to our customers,” said Bruce Parizo, deputy director of VCIC. “Users can now immediately get access to criminal conviction records by using the online service. In addition, the service allows users to submit feedback if they believe a record is in error.” A criminal conviction record is a record of conviction in a Vermont district court. Each record currently costs $20 per request. On July 1, 2009 the cost will increase to $30 per request. Users may securely pay for the service with a credit card. Authorized Vulnerable Population agencies will be able to use the service without charge. The easy to use service guides users through a brief “User Agreement” that outlines authorized uses of the conviction record. Users can then search for a record by name and date of birth, using up to two additional aliases for each search. Users also have the ability to validate the authenticity of a record at no cost through a simple form. Conviction record service will benefit employers, individuals and other groups doing background investigations by providing the records immediately from any computer with internet access. This is in contrast to the seven to 10 day wait period required for a mail-in request. Monthly billing is available for companies and agencies that need to run large numbers of record checks. The Vermont Criminal Conviction Record Internet Service (VCCRIS) provides a public resource by allowing ready access to the most complete and accurate criminal conviction reports available.

MIDDLEBURY– In a cooperative effort between the Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT) and Middlebury, Faith SessionsNeil, of Hinesburg, and her sister Janice Allen, of Englewood, Fla., protected an 11.7acre piece of land in East Middlebury a few years ago. The property lies off Ossie Road and contains 1,600 feet of frontage on the north bank of the Middlebury River as well as two islands in the river. The MALT and the Town of Middlebury jointly purchased the land from the sisters. The land has been in the family since it was purchased by Faith’s great grandfather Hiram Champlin Sessions in 1830.
Come in and enjoy our newly remodeled dining room. Pazzo’s Coupon
Handed down through the generations, Faith’s brother Edson eventually inherited the original farmhouse and 10 acres of land, and Faith and Janice inherited the lands east of Route 7, including the parcel that MALT and the Town of Middlebury purchased. Faith remarked at the time of the agreement, “My sister Janice and I are so pleased to have MALT and the Town of Middlebury purchase our land that borders the East Middlebury River. The river is so unsettled and raging at times; we feel that MALT can manage and protect the river corridor in the best possible way. We hope that MALT can help protect the land to the south of the river as well.”

These artifacts, they claim, date from before the known European colonial period. Quoting an obscure medieval document known as “The Zeno Narrative”, thought to have been composed by Antonio Zena, an Italian navigator employed by English knight Sir Henry Sinclair, the authors present geographic evidence that a primitive woodland settlement Sinclair is said to have established was called “Estotiland”. Why did Sinclair cross the Atlantic Ocean to Canada and Vermont in the first place? “The answer, I argued in my book ‘Holy Grail Across the Atlantic’,” said Bradley, “could most probably be found in his relationship to the mysterious, romantic and outlawed Order of the Knights Templar. This famous and infamous body of elite knights was formed in Jerusalem in A.D. 1118 for the stated purpose of guarding the Holy Grail.” Bradley said “I had to give readers some idea of what this so-called Holy Grail was really all about. Why had the grail always been in conflict with Judeo-Christianity and, for that matter with orthodox Islam? The answer I came to, after more than 20 years of research, is that the tradition of the Holy Grail is nothing less than the first expression of true and original Christianity. What's fascinating and controversial is the evidence of precolonial Europeans and Grail-

newmarketpress@denpubs.com If you’re an outdoor adventurer, you might want to spend your summer vacation this year searching for the lost ruins of the Knights Templar’s citadel in Vermont. Yes, we used the words Knights Templar and Vermont in the same sentence. A controversial new book, titled “Swords at Sunset: Last Stand of North America’s Grail Knights” (published by Manor House, Ontario, Canada), recounts the story of a band of exploring Holy Grail knights in the wilds of northern Vermont and Canada in the 1570s. Quebec authors Michael Bradley and Joelle Lauriol believe that knights of the Holy Grail under the guidance of Sir Henry Sinclair, left England to build small citadels in North America –in Ontario’s Niagara region and along the shore of Lake Memphremagog in Vermont. Bradley and Lauriol have broken the shackles of religious mythology and North American history with an original, intriguing—and some would say outrageous—viewpoint. “Swords at Sunset” is the third and final book in Michael Bradley's non-fiction trilogy about religious Grail-believing refugees in Canada and Vermont. The books come in the wake of the popularity of “The Da Vinci Code” novel and movie. The first book of the series, “Holy Grail Across the Atlantic” (published Hounslow Press) went through several printings and proved to be a Canadian bestseller with just under 20,000 copies sold in trade paperback. The second book, “Grail Knights of North America” (published by Dundurn Group) has so far sold somewhat less but is still in print. “Swords” chronicles the ends of the Grail knights in Vermont and Canada. According to principal author Bradley and co-author Lauriol, the two major inland Grail settlements—one in the Green Mountains on the Quebec-Vermont border and one on the Niagara Escarpment above the falls—perished in a conflict with the Iroquois Confederacy in the year 1571. Bradley and Lauriol back up their rewrite of the region's history with photo of European artifacts they and others have discovered in the Green Mountains and Niagara Escarpment.

Some bright ideas for stockpile storage
T
his week, I’ll answer two e-mails from readers with stockpiling issues!
Q: “I enjoy your weekly column and am fascinated by all the deals you manage to put together. Do you have any advice for the single people who don’t cook for large families or who don’t have the capacity to store multiples of products as the current coupons require? Any thoughts on couponing and the single lifestyle?” Q: “I live in Southern California and the summers are very hot. I can’t store canned goods in the garage because the heat causes the cans to bulge. A basement would be nice, but out here we just don’t have them. Do you have any ideas for us out here in hot country?” Sure! Stockpiling groceries at home is a fantastic way to “beat” the price cycles at the grocery store, which typically run on 12week cycles. When you know that an item you would like to buy will not be at its lowest price again for almost three months, buying enough to last your household three months ensures that you won’t have to run to the store and pay a higher price. You’ll “shop from home” by using items from your stockpile, and the next time a sale comes around again, you can stock up once more. But what do you do if you’re space-challenged? Believe it or not, stockpiling can be easier if you’re a single person. While living in a smaller residence may limit your storage space, the upside is that storing three months’ worth of cereal for one person is going to take up a lot less room than three months’ worth of cereal for an entire family would. And, when household cleaners go on sale, you could easily get buy with buying one or two instead of four or five - again, you’re going to base your stockpile on your usage needs. Now, where do we put all of this stuff? My cousin started Super-Couponing last year. He is single and lives in a one-bedroom condominium where space is at a premium. I’ve watched with great interest as he has come up with some of the most creative places to store his stockpiled items! He’s utilized under-bed boxes and drawers for everything from cereal to canned goods. Another often-overlooked place that he’s embraced is the space above his kitchen cabinets. If you have open soffits, there is a lot of space up there that just sits unused. As a single guy, he does-

Mars' atmosphere must have been between 1 to 5 bars to maintain that kind of greenhouse effect, scientists think. But Mars' atmospheric pressure today is only a small fraction of that—about 0.008 bars or about 0.7 percent of the average surface pressure at sea level on Earth, according to a European Space Agency news report. What happened to Mars' atmosphere and water has been a well guarded cosmic mystery. One idea was that the martian atmosphere was “eroded” over billion years by powerful solar winds. A more controversial idea is that Mars' atmosphere was blown into space by a catastrophic asteroid or comet impact in the remote past. A space rock at least 6 miles (10 kilometers) wide could have been enough to obliterate Mars’s once abundant atmosphere. However, scientists may “overplay” the impact hand when explaining planetary change. An urgent note: NASA’s founding space mission as well as the future of space science research in the United States is under assault by the Obama administration. If you believe in
n’t mind the visuals of having jars and bottles stored on top of his cabinets. If this bothers you, you could always camouflage them. Someone in a recent coupon class told me that they keep silk plants on top of their cabinets for aesthetics and for a very practical reason. Behind the plants are cans of soup and By Jill Cataldo jars of peanut butter! Furniture can be a great place to “hide” stockpile items. Many people have re-appropriated old armoires, china cabinets or buffets to store stockpile items inside. Kept in the dining room, they’re still close to the kitchen and can give you some overflow space to store more items. Don’t feel like your stockpile items have to be limited to the kitchen area. During one good sale, a friend of mine filled her son’s bedroom closet shelves with boxes of cereal. I know one couple that decided to keep their sheets and towels in their master closet to free up the linen closet for use as a pantry. Clear plastic storage totes are good places to store stockpile items, too. They stack well and can sit on the floor of a closet. Even in a warm climate, you can store non-food items in the garage. Paper products such as paper towels, plates, toilet paper, facial tissue and napkins all store well on garage shelves. The key to stockpiling in any situation is to stop stockpiling when your allotted space fills up. Sales do come around again and again. It can be easy to get lured in by a great sale and take home much more than you need or use. If this happens, remember your local food pantry! Pantries will take food items, personal care and cleaning products. This is a good way to prune down your stockpile too if you find it’s starting to get too large .

Waiting to exhale here’s surface evidence showing that the planet Mars had a breathable atmosphere billions of years ago. Astronomers have theorized that either due to Mars’ small mass or solar winds, the atmosphere eventually leaked away into the vacuum of space— or did it? Rather than having had its air leak away into space over millions of years, Mars may be holding its breath. Findings from the Mars Express spacecraft currently orbiting the red planet suggest that Mars’ missing atmosphere might be socked away in underground gas and ice reservoirs around the planet. NASA researchers discovered that Mars is currently losing a mere 20 grams (.04 pounds) of air per second into space. That’s not a very big leak. Thus, when European space researchers extrapolated 20 grams per second back over the 3.5 billion years of martian geohistory, they found only a tiny fraction, 0.2 to 4 millibars of carbon dioxide and a few centimeters (less than one inch) of water, was lost. (A note about millibars: A bar is a unit of the liquid element mercury for measuring atmospheric pressure; Earth's atmospheric pressure is about 1 bar.) Liquid water may still flow for brief moments across Mars's surface as NASA scientists discovered last year. In fact, a martian water layer might be half-amile deep in places and feed the transient surface flows with powerful, albeit brief, aqueous outpourings. With this much liquid, it becomes apparent that Mars had a higher atmospheric temperature and pressure—perhaps enough to form a moderate greenhouse effect similar to Earth.

y apologies go out to those who read my columns regularly; this week topic is a pet peeve of mine. Socalled experts repeatedly utter “um,” and/or “uh,” during television and radio interviews. Some of the so-called um and uh using experts I’m alluding to are politicians, councilpersons, lawyers, and, anyone deemed an expert because the thing they do fairly well happens to be relevant to some benign topic drummed up to fill a slow news cycle. If you can believe it, Mr. and Mrs. Obama are guilty of uming and uhing, too. First Lady Michelle Obama was on Larry King’s show last night speaking about nutrition and childhood obesity, two things I’m interested in. I had to drive overstreet just as the show came on, but was able to tune it in on my radio. Hard as I tried, I could not concentrate on the substance of Mrs. Obama’s statements, because all I could hear was, um, uh, um, uh, uh, um, um, and um some more. Mrs. Obama is doing loads of good with her White House vegetable garden, mothering her little girls, and overall leading by setting a great example in so many areas. But if one of the First Family handlers doesn’t get to tutoring Mrs. O. on how to eliminate the ums and uhs that so thoroughly litter her lexicon, there are going to be a lot of hard to listen to tapes setting around the Obama Presidential Library when the time comes, and when ole Michelle hears the playbacks she is not going to be happy. I mean a lot of tapes, because Michelle is not the only family member umming and uhhing, she gets it from her husband. He does it more than she does. (speaking without the teleprompter (w/o t t) People make fun of George W. Bush’s communication skills; they were bothered by his totally obliterating a word here and there with his common-folk speak. I’m not bothered by that. What bothers me is when I hear someone jamming high-toned words in between ums and uhs and sort-ofs. (I’ll do an entire column on sort-ofs, another time) When George W. speaks I don’t expect much, so I’m never surprised by words he uses. But when Barack and the Mrs. speak, w/o t t, and lay down the ohs and uhs thick as rime ice on top of Mount Washington, I’m very surprised, because from them I expect a clearer more effective manner of speech. Which is a theme lately. That is, folks expecting more from our president. Maybe folks shouldn’t expect more from Barack, or should I say maybe folks, not just from Barack but from every politician, shouldn’t believe so much of the campaign B.S. I don’t expect much from the Obamas politically—I don’t expect much from anyone politicallybut I do expect that politicians spew fewer ums and uhs when they speak on the air. Because when they um and uh constantly, even if what they’re saying is true, I don’t get the sense that they’re fully engaged. I don’t know for sure, but I may be the only person bothered by constant sporadic umming
and uhhing. I’ve never heard anyone else say it bothers them. Does it bother you? Maybe you don’t even notice Barack and Michelle umming and uhhing—but I bet you noticed when George W. Bush said something stupid. Maybe it’s that thing where if you find someone unlikable, like George Bush, it’s easy to recognize their weaknesses and then use that recognition to dislike them more. But if you like someone, like Barack Obama, you’re easily able to overlook weaknesses you might notice in them and keep liking them the same or even more. We humans are a curious lot ,eh? We’ll be critical only when it’s convenient for, and consistent with our feelings for the things we sit it judgment of—which is of course, all things. Take my mom’s feelings for me, for example. I think I could murder my butcher and my mother would say, “Well, that man did sell my son a bad piece of meat.” We like what we like for a number of reasons, but mostly we like what we like because we like it. I like Michelle Obama, so maybe I was all hedd up last night because I was listening to her on the radio and not seeing her, and that’s why the ums and uhs stuck out. But I don’t think so. I think putting the two together, seeing her um and ah while hearing her um and ah, would have only amplified the distraction for me. Regarding local politicians and talk-show hosts and councilpersons: maybe one can assume they do the um and ah lazy speak because they’re part-timers, greenies, who haven’t accumulated enough hours of experience to speak properly on-air. One could also assume they’re just trying to emulate what they hear the big timers doing, and they’re trying to fit into a mold which makes them seem authentic in the political world, a world where faux authenticity most usually trumps pure individualism. What the frig am I talking about? Bottom line: All this umming and ahhing must cease, especially with Michelle and Barack, but also with the hordes of others who are near and or at the top of the media mountain. They all need to un-um and un-ah their unscripted speaking, if only because—and they’d never believe it possible—the umming and ahhing makes them sound less educated than me—and, um, that uh, that ain’t good.

arents have been chewing up a lot of my time with lots of questions about their children grinding their teeth at night. Well, let me see if I can grind their concerns to a halt with some information on this problem. The condition of grinding teeth or jaw clenching is known as bruxism. It is quite common, affecting about 30% of children, most of whom are under the age of 5. Teeth grinding usually occurs without a child realizing it and often when they are asleep. Sometimes it can be due to a child’s teeth growing improperly, and to problems arising with their bite. Other times it can occur due to stress or due to pain from an earache or teething. It can also run in families. The good news is that this condition doesn’t hurt your child or their teeth, although it can drive others crazy especially if they are sharing a room with your child. In rare circumstances the grinding can be severe enough to wear down the enamel of the teeth (the hard covering) and cause facial pain and jaw problems, but this is usually a complication that occurs in adults who grind excessively, and not usually seen in children who develop this habit.. In the vast majority of cases, bruxism occurs for a brief period of time and then goes away on its own, but if you’re concerned, talk with your pediatrician or your child’s dentist and have your child’s mouth examined. If the teeth are fine, don’t worry and let this problem pass. If they are starting to wear down, a special mouth guard may be made to prevent grinding that may occur during
sleep from getting worse. In an adult with severe grinding a dentist might place stainless steel crowns on the molars to protect the teeth but again this is rarely if ever done in younger children. A good idea is to determine the cause of any stress that may be contributing to this habit. Reducing that stress may eliminate the behavior. Just by reducing stress before bed with a warm bath or reading your child a good book may reduce the frequency of these episodes at night. Hopefully tips like this will give you more than a mouthful of information when it comes to knowing more and worrying less about your child’s teeth grinding.

this fine organization for young people. If you’re not aware of it, on Friday night, February 12, The Flynn Center for the Arts will play host to the Public Radio program, “From the Top”, which will feature the VYO and some of its members. The show will be taped for later use by Public Radio International. Tickets are on sale to the Flynn box office at 86 Flynn. ••••••••••••••••• Saturday, February 5, add to 1 PM,I attended the Metropolitan Opera in HD broadcast with a full house of opera fans. The fans arrived early because they know about the practices of some opera aficionados to hold seats for people who are not yet in the house or who can’t come until the last minute. Some of the hard-liners in this camp used to come with four or five or six extra coats or sweaters so that they could hold seats for the late arrivers collecting easy. But no more! The management has posted clearly and highly visibly what may I may not be done in terms of saving seats for absent brethren. The opera presented was the seldom-performed Simon Bocanegra which in this case starred Placido Domingo, tenor, in his first baritone role, that of Simon himself. He proved extremely effective vocally and histrionically. His death scene was extremely affecting. There was a great supporting cast too numerous to mention here, but with James Levine in the pit and such an incredible cast with which to deal, nothing was amiss, to the last jot and tittle of the score. There are two broadcasts left: Ambroise Thomas’s Hamlet and Rossini’s Arnida, the latter featuring René Fleming. Burlington resident Dan Wolfe observes and critiques the local arts scene for The Eagle. His column appears weekly.

n Friday evening February 5, Tim Ericksen, best classified as a folksinger, appeared at the Redstone Recital Hall under the auspices of The Lane Series. The evening moved to folk song repertoire creating a different evening of folk music to hear Eriksen’s open-sounding, almost vibratoless voice sing ballads, often unaccompanied. He also plays a number of stringed instruments -- guitars and banjos primarily, no matter where they were built or made. He has an easy manner about him on the stage, whether singing or talking about his life as a professional musician. He noted that it was important to him to spend part of the pre-concert lecture -- indeed, the larger part -in talking about shape note singing, and closing his preconcert talk with a four-part hymn from Southern Harmony. It has been for the last hundred plus years the Bible of the early American hymnology, and the excellence of the sound, especially when the figures face one another in a four-sided square. A person could get quite a buzz on -- a holy one, of course -- and be carried away into the heavens on the wings of the songs. There is not a great deal more to be said, since Eriksen is rather an uncomplicated performer, and the only surprises, if there were any at all, had to do with his several times exhibiting a wide think of as Tuva Throat-singing, where one person, through the use of overtones, can produce deadly triad of sound. One last comment: he was extremely generous with the time devoted to performing, which was nice, even though it meant that a few people that Friday before the concert was over. ••••••••••••••••• The Vermont Youth Orchestra Association has appointed a new music director to follow where Troy Peters had cleared a great deal of rash out of the musical trail. The gentleman’s name is Ronald Braunstein, a New Yorker who has most recently served as music director of the Mannes Philharmonia at the Mannes School of Music. Earlier in his career, he served as the music director of the Juilliard School of Music pre-college orchestra for seven years. It will be a pleasure to watch the future development of the orchestra and the Association, which had developed so surely with the help of the board and management staff of
Fishing in deep water is still probably the most misunderstood type of fishing that bass anglers have to deal with on a regular basis. Deep water can be productive almost any time of year that the bass aren't on the beds, but during the winter is when it can be especially effective. One of the reasons that many anglers struggle with fishing deep water is because we're all so accustomed to fishing around and casting to visible cover. This makes fishing around non-visual targets difficult for the average angler. "Deep," of course, can be in the eye of the beholder. But to me, anything deeper than 10 feet can be considered deep. Most times (and only in certain fisheries during specific times of the year) will I explore anything more than 50 or 60 feet, though bass can be caught at greater depths in some places. When searching for places to focus your fishing efforts in deep water, remember the difference between cover and structure.
Cover is some physical object separate from the actual bottom contour. Structure is the actual bottom contour (breaks, drops, humps). These structure elements serve as a kind of thoroughfare for the bass to travel from one place or another in search of food and optimum water conditions. The presence of cover on some form of structure is what you should be looking for. Most of the short cuts to finding deep-water structure occur long before you get to body of water. Start with a contoured lake map and identify all of the depth changes and bottom features, marking them with different colored pens or markers. Once these areas are identified, you can begin finding bass by understanding that their entire life cycle revolves around two core areas: their spawning areas (flats) and their wintering areas (deep water vertical break areas). The structure breaks that connect these two areas are their migration highways. For the most part, the bass winter in the deepest water/vertical break areas available, usually in the main lake.

THE EAGLE - 7
Douglas plans to abolish 55 boards, commissions Gov. Jim Douglas this week released his recommendation to abolish 55 state boards and commissions and modify six others. The governor ’s proposal would streamline bureaucracy and allow state workers to focus more time on their core duties. “Regardless of our fiscal situation, we must always look for ways to make state government more efficient and save taxpayer money,” said Douglas. “This is an important effort to modernize state government making it sustainable for the years to come.” The recommendations are part of the administration’s Tiger Team response to the projected $150 million shortfall in the FY 2011 budget. The team led the effort to take a fresh look the 300 state boards and commissions. The Tiger Team found many boards and commissions have been inactive for years, while others have overlapping missions and functions. The governor ’s proposal calls for the abolishment of 45 boards and commissions through statute and 10 through executive order.
Six other boards will be modified and otherwise consolidated. Some of the proposals will be difficult and meet resistance, but with such daunting fiscal challenges we cannot maintain the status quo, the governor remarked. These recommendations represent a combined Vermont General and Special Fund savings of nearly $700,000. Of this amount, $171,000 was included in the governor ’s FY 2011 recommended budget. Additional administrative savings from not staffing and servicing these boards and commissions will be realized by agencies and departments. The administration’s Director of Budget Operations Otto Trautz briefed the recommendations to the House Government Operations committee this morning. “I want to thank Otto for his tremendous leadership and hard work, and that of his Tiger Team, in identifying opportunities to streamline state government, noted Douglas. “I also want to thank the Vermont House Government Operations committee for their continued interest and collaboration on this important work.”
Local women spearhead Curves Food Drive Curves of Middlebury is encouraging women in the area to show their philanthropic strength by participating in the annual Curves Food Drive. Even though donating food to families in need is its own reward, the club is offering compelling incentives for both existing and potential members who participate. From March 1 to 31, Curves of Middlebury will collect non-perishable items and monetary donations for food banks in the local area. The goal, according to Barbara Pelton of Curves, is for the community to come together to help families in need. “At the core of our business is the message that women are stronger when they rally together, and that is the point we hope to bring home with our food drive,” said Pelton. “We want to show our community just how powerful the generosity of our members can be.”
According to Pelton, members who donate a bag of groceries or make a minimum donation of $30 during the month of March will receive a reusable Curves grocery freezer bag for free. Non-members who do likewise between March 8 and 20 can join Curves for free. Curves will waive the cost to join. Pelton said that as part of this effort, Curves of Middlebury will be participating in a company-wide contest for the most food drive donations collected by Curves locations across the nation. Winners will receive one of several cash prizes to be donated to their local food bank. Each year, Curves locations collectively donate millions of pounds of food to feed the hungry. For more information about Curves of Middlebury, located at 99 Maple St., Ste. 13 B, and the Curves Food Drive, contact Barbara Pelton at 382-9100 or 974Y0WIO@curvesmail.com.

Starting your own flowers and vegetables at home from seeds lets you have many varieties you might not find otherwise at stores, can save you money, and is fun. If you are thinking of starting more than a few packs of seedlings, or already did last year and ran out of room to grow them on prior to planting outside, you may want to think about buying or making a home greenhouse. First, ask if you need a small greenhouse or some other structure? What are you intending to grow? If you are starting seedlings indoors under lights, perhaps all you need is a coldframe instead to harden them off before planting out. If growing vegetables, perhaps you'll just need some low plastic tunnels over the rows. Yet most gardeners, if starting more than a few flats of seedlings, will find a home greenhouse useful, fun, and a welcome setting in early spring. Home greenhouses come in all sizes, starting with small pop-up tents just for spring use (although I've seen them last fine in central and southern New England year round). These can be about 4 to 6 feet wide by 6 to 8 feet long, and

coming through. Such glazings made specially for greenhouses, compared to those that may look similar from home stores, often are treated on the outside to resist the UV rays from sunlight, and treated on the inside to reduce condensation that can build up and drip in humid greenhouses. Of course if you want a more decorative greenhouse, such as attached to a home or building ("lean to" greenhouse), you may consider glass. This is harder to construct and deal with, can break, and unless twin wall (similar to energy-efficient windows for homes) lets more heat out. Glass greenhouses tend to be more expensive, but maintained can last for decades. If you're handy with tools and building, you may want to construct your own home greenhouse. Otherwise you may want to consider just buying a "kit" with all you'll need. You can then buy accessories such as heaters and benches. Some kits even include these. If you'll be growing vegetables in the ground you may not even need benches. There are many suppliers of greenhouse kits online and in garden supply catalogs, even from some seed companies. These can be located with an internet search for "home greenhouses" or similar. If buying a home greenhouse kit, some other considerations in addition to glazing type are where it is coming from--is it suitable for a northern climate, and what is the freight charge? You might even call the company and, through talking with them, see if they can provide answers to any questions, and judge their customer service (if you have technical questions

about 6 feet or so high. For just a couple hundred dollars you'll be in business growing in an hour or so. Other greenhouses you leave up year round, especially in colder climates. A bit more sturdy and long lasting are those covered with plastic film. Larger greenhouses, similar to those used by growers, have a small fan inflating another layer of plastic on the outside. This creates an air space between layers for extra insulation. Such air-inflated houses usually are more than a home grower wants or needs, and harder to construct, with recovering needed every 3 to 4 years. I prefer, and have, a small greenhouse made of a polycarbonate solid material. Unless just growing during April and May, you may want to get one that is "twin wall", having two layers with an air space between. In cross section they look like honeycomb. Even better for insulation, but more money, are the triple wall glazings (the word for greenhouse coverings). Although solid, these polycarbonate materials bend so can cover a curved, hoop frame. Or they can be cut and used in sheets for straight walls. These materials usually last for at least 15 to 20 years before they begin to yellow and reduce the light

once your greenhouse arrives it helps to have such expertise handy). They should be able to give you tips on the foundation needed for your greenhouse (often this is just wood anchored in the ground), and how to make your greenhouse more energy efficient if you'll use it during colder months. Unless growing just in April in May in the north, you'll need a more powerful heater. Make sure the greenhouse supplier can recommend both type of fuel heater (common is propane), and appropriate size. If you'll be growing during colder months, on windy days, you'll need a much larger heater. It is better to spend a little more now and make sure you have enough heat if needed. For the seasonal, tent types, an electric space heater may be all that is needed. On the flip side is ventilation. Larger greenhouses have automatic vents and fans that run with electricity (although they consume very little). For smaller greenhouses consider automatic vents that open and close on their own, just by expansion in a rod, with no power. Invariably the greenhouse will need vents open and closed, with the sun coming and going, to keep from getting too hot or cold. Even if you're at home all the time, this can become quite an issue. The main consideration when buying a home greenhouse is the size. Just like rooms at home, you can usually fill any available space and wish you had more. Buy the largest greenhouse you can afford, and have space for. When planning its location, allow space either for an addition or another one nearby. Make sure to locate near your home (if not attached), near water and power, in full sun, and easily accessible for moving plants and supplies.

High school hockey season ends By Fred Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com Both the boys and girls high school hockey ended their regular seasons last Saturday. Read below to see how some of the local teams fared in their season finale, and where they stood record wise headed into the post season tournament. In South Burlington, Nick Williams scored with two and a half minutes left in the game to give his Bellows Falls Academy Bobwhites an exciting 3-2 win over the visiting Champlain Valley Union Redhawks. Conner Roberts scored the Bobwhites first two goals, while goalies Taylor Pearl (17 saves) and Taylor Kilburn (five saves) preserved the win by combining to stop 22 CVU shots.

No, don’t look for that first Robin, or a flock of geese flying north. Instead look to your local sports page. That is where all the signs of spring will leap off the page at you. What signs am I talking about? For starters this past week girls high school basketball, along with boys an girls high school hockey began their post season tournaments. The boys basketball teams wrapped up their regular season this week, and their tournaments start next week. The guard is changing from the winter season to the spring season.
Pell e Stocts In k
On...
What about the professional level? Yes, the signs there are even clearer. The Superbowl is over and the NBA has played their allstar game, and their second half of the season, a majority of which is a spring time activity, is already underway. It becomes even more obvious when you look south. The boys of summer are back at work. Pitchers and catchers report to spring training this weekend, and position players will be reporting next week. The Baseball preview magazines are everywhere on the magazine racks, and my three fantasy baseball leagues are setting draft dates, finding out who is in and who is out, and they keep pestering me for my keepers. Within two weeks they will be playing baseball games in Florida and Arizona. And to me, when that happens, and I don’t care if we have six feet of snow on the ground here in Vermont, that is when spring officially starts. I do enjoy Christmas, watching football and coaching junior varsity basketball. All wintertime activities. But nothing beats the arrival of the warm weather, long sunny days and the crack of the bat as baseball gets underway. Opening day is my favorite day of the year. Yes, I am a baseball junkie. But all is okay. I have survived another Vermont winter and I am about to get my fix that will last eight months. All is good. I am truly happy again. Go Red Sox.

While the state shows little interest in preserving its gold rush past, Pingree enjoys keeping it alive by leading tours to old mine sites. “My great grandfather, Ira Sumner, was a gold mine worker in Windsor County,” Pingree said. “Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of records from the time.” According to Pingree, the state’s largest gold mine operation was the Rooks Mine in Plymouth. It is the only gold mine that is situated, in part, on state-owned land. All other gold mines and test adits are on private property—they are off limits to individuals without owner permission. “In 1880, a group of miners returned to the Plymouth Five Corners area and traced placer gold in Buffalo Creek to its source in a quartz vein high on the slope above the creek,” said Pingree. “Two years later, the Rooks Mine was in operation.” Pingree has explored deep inside the abandoned shafts of the Rooks Mine (later known as the Fox Mine); while the mine is dangerous for amateur cavers to enter, even Pingree got spooked inside the mine a few years ago. A companion encountered unstable ground inside the mine’s vertical shaft. They quickly abandoned further exploration. Abandoned mines are more dangerous than many caves, according to Pingree. Pingree mapped most of the Rooks Mine’s remains. It was a big mine for its time—200 feet in length with both vertical and horizontal shafts. Parts of the mine are still shored up with 19th century timbers, he said. Even the remains of the ore car railway can be seen. A large processing mill stood along the creek at the foot of the mine. Visitors can glimpse some of the stonework of the old complex. “In 1884 the Rooks Mine was top news here since it was producing $50-ton ore. But things changed in 1887. The Rooks was bankrupt, and the last stage of the Vermont gold rush was over,” he said. While there are numerous test mine shafts that await discovery in Vermont’s old Gold District, Pingree believes he and his friends have located most of them. “The largest Vermont gold mines were the Rooks Mine, the Dailey Hollow Gold Mine, the Quttaquechee Mine, the T-Gold Mine and the Taggart-Fagneau Mine,” he said. In time, frost action and ground-water seeping will obliterate Vermont’s historic gold mines from view. It doesn’t help that state historians have shown little interest in the period, while others seem not to want to glorify the state’s mining past. This summer a state marker will be erected at Camp Plymouth State Park to recognize the historic Vermont Gold Rush. And along with the help of devotees like Rick Pingree, the memory of a time when Vermont gold fever seized locals and flatlanders alike will be kept alive a little while longer.

SATURDAY February 20, 2010
National FFA Week February 20-27, 2010
Kids today have their own language…like LOL, which means laugh out loud. Well, in FFA, they turned it into LEAD out loud. FFA members are the leaders of tomorrow and each chapter positively influences its student members by developing character, work ethic and responsibility. Through agricultural education and hands-on learning, they prepare for more than 300 careers in the food, fiber and natural resources industries of agriculture. With more than a half million members, the National FFA Organization reaches out to all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Through community service, hands-on projects, scholarship programs and more, they are headed for a bright future. Join us in recognizing National FFA Week, February 20th through 27th. We’re proud of the students in our community who make FFA part of their lives and say thank you to the many supporters, parents and teachers. For more information about agricultural education and FFA, visit ffa.org.
