Nurses, others to volunteer in Central America NY-VT Nurses Unite to visit Honduras By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Amy Russell struggles to describe the rewards of her work with poor residents of Honduras, but the nurse understands perfectly. “It’s hard to understand if you’ve never been a part of something like this,” she said. “But once you go, you know exactly want I mean. There’s a wonderful feeling you get when you help someone in need. The smile you get when you make someone’s life a little better is priceless.” That’s why Russell, a Ticonderoga nurse, will lead a group of area health professionals and students back to Honduras March 16-23. The group, the NY-VT Nurses Unite, is part of Global Brigades, a student-led global health and sustainable development organization. Global Brigades mobilizes college students and professionals through skillbased service programs to improve quality of life in poor communities. Groups work in the areas of health care, dental care, public health, environment, architecture, law, business, finance and water development.

Sugar on snow best of sweet season Dakin Farm Festival By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com FERRISBURGH — Every year, for three decades, popular Vermont food producer and mail-order retailer Dakin Farm in Ferrisburgh hosts the sweet season’s best event—the Dakin Farm Sugar on Snow Festival. In recent years, the Dakin folks have hosted twin events at both its U.S. Route 7 headquarters and flagship food store in Ferrisburgh, and its outlet in South Burlington in the Barnes and Noble plaza. During the weekends of March 16-17 and March 23-24, Dakin Farm staff will welcome the public to enjoy the bounty of the sweet season, that time of year— betwixt and between February and early March—when sugarbush owners are out collecting sap from maple sugar trees and boiling the sap into syrup around Vermont. Dakin Farm is Vermont treasure. It is the oldest operating family farm and food producer in the state. In fact, the Dakin entity dates to 1792, the final year before Vermont stopped being an independent republic and became the 14th state. See SUGAR ON SNOW, page 8

From the Editor
In justice we trust More than a dozen Vermont authors and printers—from Addison, Bennington, Chittenden, Orange and Rutland counties—will be anxiously anticipating what they hope will be the conclusion of the strange case of Peter Campbell-Copp, 62, of Manchester. This case, which was last before a Vermont judge in 2011, still has legs; justice hasn’t had the final say—yet. The alleged swindle victims want another day in court. And their day has been approved and scheduled for April 2 in Vermont Superior Court in Bennington. The wronged authors have told their heartbreaking stories several times in the local news media since the story first broke in 2011; and in their telling, we have heard their frustration in finding Vermont justice as well as the psychic cost of victimization. Two years ago, Campbell-Copp, a former president of the Manchester Historical Society, publisher, and secondary school dormitory floor proctor, denied wrongdoing in allegedly defrauding authors and printers of over $170,000. Campbell-Copp promoted himself as an independent book publisher while the authors involved allege that he promised to produce their first books. The money was paid, but their books never appeared, they claim. A few in the publishing world were already familiar with polymath DeWitt Samuel Copp, father of Campbell-Copp. At least until 2011, the Copp name had carried weight and authority in the book world. And when the senior Copp died in 1999, he left behind 30 well-received, published books on Cold War and aviation. The senior Copp began his professional writing career at age 19. He wrote network television plays in the Golden Age of Broadcasting for Kraft Theater, the Bell Telephone Hour and the Hallmark Hall of Fame. And as one of the directors of the Weather Engineering Corporation, he created aircraft equipment that used the chemical silver-iodide for the production of artificial rain (the Vermont rainmaker saved many a Great Plains farmer from going bankrupt). That’s why the charges against the junior Copp surprised so many folks. If it was true, why would the son of such a celebrated author and inventor do such a thing? In July 2011, Campbell-Copp pleaded
“not guilty” in Vermont Superior Court and was released by a judge. But the allegedly wronged authors are like dogs gritting choice ham bones; they have not gone quietly into the night. The case against Campbell-Copp began back in March 2011 when Hinesburg-based author Rusty Clark DeVoid, author of “Horse Tales and Hoof Prints,” reported to the Hinesburg Police Department that he had paid Campbell-Copp approximately $7,500 to publish his first book; the check was cashed, he reported, but the book never appeared in print. The Hinesburg Police officer involved in the case described the publisher ’s activity as a ‘Ponzi-like” operation. The case became so intense at one point that the Hinesburg Police seem to have thought their eager investigator was spending too much time trying to right a wrong. He later left the department for another municipal police department. DeVoid, along with the other authors involved, aren’t sure if they’ll ever see their money again, but they hope that justice will ultimately prevail. That’s why what the final outcome of this case is anybody’s guess. The authors vs. Campbell-Copp story illustrates that even here, in little ol' Vermont where many of us still stubbornly leave our house and car doors unlocked, crime—in all its many splendored blueand white-collared, and violent varieties— is an established fact. With it has vanished many a newcomer ’s postcard illusion of bucolic New England. From housekeepers who steal jewelry and Christmas gifts to college professors who embezzle, Vermont is just like every place else now. Known for our authors and visual artists, we can now boast a community of confidence artists, too. When it comes to fraud, identity theft, and the grifters next door, the Office of the Vermont Attorney General repeatedly demonstrates just how vulnerable we all are. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Oh, and always get a promise in writing and have it notarized. All verbal agreements are worthless, especially today. Caveat emptor.

Get serious ... please!
L
ast week we witnessed the annual drawing of the battle lines during the State of the Union address presented by President Obama with rebuttals from senators Rubio and Paul. Our political system continues its dysfunctional method of running the country. It seems in unison with the national media, once known for being the watchdogs of political shortcomings. Instead, the national media continues to be ineffective in its role to police ill-mannered, self-serving political figures. Republican Sen. Rand Paul gave the Tea Party rebuttal 12 hours before the president delivered his speech. Paul’s speech was sarcastic and ended with a call for the president to be tried for treason and banished from the country. Comparing the president’s not-yet-given speech to one worthy of Iran President Ahmadinejad, Sen. Paul called the speech: “Full of empty promises and bald-faced lies we’ve come to expect from President Obama who tonight made a case for his own impeachment.” Sen. Paul’s prebuttal was preceeded earlier in the day when Speaker of the House Boehner made the comment; “I don’t think he (President Obama) has the guts to do it. He doesn’t have the courage to take on the liberal side of his own party — never has.” In fact, the speaker said, judging by the tone and tenor during the Inaugural Address: “I would expect tonight to be more partisan.” The president didn’t leave his critics without cause to cry and lament. He laid out plans for debt reduction, tax code overhaul, enhanced job creation, minimum wage, climate control, immigration reform, education improvements, defense and foreign trade. His bully-pulpit ended with examples of families affected by gun violence, as he challenged members of the Congress and Senate repeatedly with: “They deserve a vote.” The president called for cuts to spending on things like education, job training, Medicare and Social Security benefits to reduce the deficit. “Deficit reduction alone is not an economic plan,” Obama said. He also recycled a frequently used phrase from the
past, assuring the nation none of this would cost the country a “single dime.” Dan Alexander “Let's set Thoughts from party interBehind the Pressline ests aside and work to pass a budget that replaces reckless cuts with smart savings and wise investments in our future,” Obama said. The president knows that the divided Congress may not fall in line behind any of his priorities, specifically mentioning climate change, but said he'd move forward with or without their support. “If Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will,” Obama said. These and more comments were made to a sustained standing ovation from Democrats in the chamber while Republicans and Speaker Boehner sat silent. The president’s speech lasted long enough that by the time Sen. Rubio appeared for his rebuttal, I, like many others, had long fallen asleep. According to media reports the next morning, the only thing they wanted to cover was his groping awkwardly for a quick drink of water. Rubio made it clear that while the president doesn’t believe we can create a path for prosperity by cutting spending, he and the Republicans do not believe we can tax our way to economic growth. Thus gridlock is safely preserved for yet another term as our political reps do their best to pit citizen against citizen. Sadly, it seems nobody in Washington is prepared to get down to business and find the common ground that requires spending cuts and tax overhauls. Neither side seems ready to do more than grandstand and place blame on the other, while we see costs and debts on the rise and the economy struggle. It’s time we contact our representatives and say: “Get serious….please! For all our sakes!” Dan Alexander is associate publisher of New Market Press. He may be reached at dan@newmarketpressvt.com.

Ludlow-Mt Holly support 'Camp Quest' measure By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com LUDLOW — Black River High School students in the 9th and 10th grade can look forward to a unique outdoors program this summer. Camp Quest is a Rotary Club program that wil be open to young people in the Ludlow-BelmontMt. Holly area. Camp Quest, which will appear as an item on the Town Meeting Day agendas in these communities, is being spearheaded by three groups—the Town of Ludlow, the Ludlow Rotary Club, and BRHS. Howie Paul, Ludlow’s recreation director, said that if the Camp Quest measure is passed by voters in March, local students can look for seven weeks tuition-free educational and recreational activities. “This will provide new opportunities for youngsters who have graduated existing programs,” according to Paul.
If approved, he said, Camp Quest will feature “a variety of project-based learning and recreational activities that may include kayaking, photography, climbing, reading, sports and other areas of student interest. Rotarians and other qualified adults will help run the programs.” Working with the local school system and the recreational programs of the Towns of Ludlow and Mt. Holly, the Ludlow Area Rotary Club will sponsor the June 24 to Aug. 9 program for area youngsters entering the 9th and 10th grades. “The concept for Camp Quest follows a very successful model developed by a New Hampshire Rotary Club,” according to Frank Heald, chairman of the Camp Quest Committee. “This will provide young teens with a summer camp to enjoy a full and rewarding seven week program of physical and intellectual growth at a key moment in their lives.” Heald noted that the program will provide student participants with services such as breakfast, lunch, snack and a camp shirt, funding permitting.
Lothrop School receives Farm-to-School grant By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com PITTSFORD — The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, in partnership with the Vermont Farm to School Network, recently announced that the Lothrop Elementary School in Pittsford is the recipient of a2013 Farm to School grant. The school was awarded a planning grant at a special ceremony at the Statehouse cafeteria last week. The Vermont Farm to School grant program is in its seventh year and works to improve kids’ diets by linking local producers and schools. The grant program encourages schools to engage students in their local food system by incorporating local food and farm education in their cafeterias, classrooms and communities. This year, grants were awarded to eight schools.
“Just knowing that food grows and doesn’t just come from a package is lesson that will stay with us for a lifetime.” said Isabelle Moody, a sophomore student at Mt. Abraham Abraham Union High School in Bristol. MAUHS has been a past recipient of a state grant. Five of the grants awarded are implementation grants; three are planning grants. Schools which received grants in 2012 were on hand with displays demonstrating how the money had made an impact on their school and the important role the grants played in bringing more local foods to their cafeteria while making connections with local farmers. “It is wonderful to hear that students understand Farm to School is not just about healthy food, but also about economic development for our farmers. That is when we know they’re connect-
ing the dots between the educational, nutritional, and economic aspects of the program,” said Jolinda LaClair, deputy secretary of the Agency of Agriculture. The Vermont Farm to School grant program is administered through the Vermont Agency of Agriculture in partnership with the Agency of Education, Department of Health and the Vermont FEED or Food Education Every Day. Planning and Implementation grants applications are accepted by Vermont schools each fall with awards granted in the new year. Farm to School grant recipients: Implementation grants-Berlin Elementary School, Isle La Motte Elementary, Milton Elementary and Middle Schools, and St. Albans City School. Planning grants-Chittenden Central Supervisory Union, Lothrop Elementary, and Washington South Supervisory Union.

Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson: Pathfinder on four wheels By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — America’s automotive wanderlust—as typified by either hitchhiking beatniks in Jack Kerouac’s novel “On the Road” or the Chevrolet Corvette do-gooders on television’s “Route 66”—hasn’t abated from the 20th century to the 21st. In 1903, when the automobile was still a novelty, a 31-yearold Vermont physician decided to set out on a transcontinental journey that went down in history. Burlington resident Horatio Nelson Jackson, M.D., and his wife—Bertha Richardson Wells, the trust-fund daughter of Vermont’s wealthiest man, William Wells, the manufacturer of Paine's Celery Compound—were visiting San Francisco in May 1903. One day, the doctor was a guest at the exclusive, all-male University Club in San Francisco when he and several club members found themselves discussing the automobile and how it would change America in the future. Jackson was an optimist, a booster of new technology and engineering marvels; he challenged the club members to a fantastic wager. For $50 (just under $1,200 in 2013 dollars), club members bet the doctor that he couldn’t drive an automobile all the way across the United States. And so it was that, on May 18, 1903, Jackson agreed to an historic wager that would have made Nick the Greek proud. He planned to drive “a four-wheeled machine” from San Francisco to New York in under 90 days. However, there was only one catch to Jackson’s grand geographic plans: he neither knew how to drive, nor owned an automobile. With that in mind, both Jackson and his wife took a crash, two-day course in driving in San Francisco in order to make the trip. But it was soon decided that Bertha would rush home to Vermont, via train, to coordinate the east coast leg of her husband’s crosscountry trek. Jackson soon hired California auto mechanic Sewall K. Crocker to join him. Together, the two men purchased a used, 20 hp. two-cylinder gasoline-powered Winton touring car in downtown San Francisco. Jackson christened the tall car “Vermont”. (For auto trivia enthusiasts, the Ohio-based Winton Motor Carriage Co., which made the “Vermont”, was later purchased by General Motors.) Jackson and Crocker hastily outfitted the “Vermont” with all-weather camping equipment, spare tires, inner tubes and parts, gas cans, guns and ammunition, fishing gear, a Kodak box camera, and a telescope. They left downtown San Francisco via ferry to Oakland; within a few miles the duo changed the car ’s first flat tire. With the tire quickly replaced, the “Vermont” began its transcontinental journey.

Heading north, Jackson and Crocker traveled on rough roads through northern California—including a 108-mile detour—and on into Oregon country. The bumpy roads, mostly unpaved, of the early 1900s spelled motion sickness to all but the most adamantine vestibular system. At one point, along their Oregon course, Jackson’s eyeglasses flew off his face, forever lost; the trekkers were later forced to pay a $4 toll to cross private land. Jackson later wrote that the pricey, private path was nothing more than a “bad, rocky, mountain road.” In Idaho, the men made their most memorable publicity move; they purchased a rough and tumble pit bull named Bud. Bud became world famous as the trip's stout mascot. The photogenic pup was outfitted with its own set of protective dust goggles; Bud enjoyed sitting up front, between the two men. All along the way, newspaper reporters, photographers and locals greeted the intrepid American trekkers. Bud was especially memorable as many images of the dog, sporting goggles, made front-page news across the nation. Across the rocky terrain of Wyoming and the sandy hills of Nebraska, the men encountered—and overcame—mechanical problems, lousy roads, detours, biting insects, snarling coyotes (always barked down by Bud), circling vultures, foul weather, newsmen, and other gawkers. On occasion, the “Vermont” had to be lifted over mudholes and roadway cracks big enough to swallow a modern
Mini Cooper sports car. When the travelers finally reached Omaha, Neb., on July 12, it was cause to celebrate. The “Vermont” was a little more than half way to New York City. With few paved roads, the trio pressed on, through the corn and wheat fields of Iowa, and the farms and industrial mills of Illinois and Indiana, and on—to the rising sun. In Ohio, the trekkers waited for spare parts from the Winton factory in Cleveland. But from that point, the rest of the trip was relatively easy. Outside of Buffalo, N.Y., a bump in the road caused both Crocker and Bud to be thrown from the open cockpit. Without serious injuries, man and canine climbed back on board to press on to the finish line across the Empire State. At long last, the “Vermont” crossed the Hudson River and entered New York City on July 26, approximately 63 days after leaving the San Francisco Bay area. The city toasted the "Vermont" and her crew and the $50 University Club wager winning was shared between Jackson with his companion. The great trek marked the first time an automobile had successfully crossed the continent. If you want to figure out the gas mileage of the “Vermont,” here's a start—a little over 800 gallons of gasoline were used between San Francisco and New York. Leaving Manhattan, Jackson drove the "Vermont" north to his home in Burlington which, technically, was the final stop of the famous transcontinental trip. What became of the crew of the "Vermont" and its fourlegged mascot? Jackson dropped from the national view following his famous road trip. His friend, Sewall Crocker, tried to capitalize on his 1903 fame with a Jules Verne-like around-theworld automobile adventure, but it never got beyond the planning stage. Crocker, 32, died in 1913 in Washington. As for Bud the pit bull, it's not clear what became of him. Jackson ran unsuccessfully as a Republican candidate for Vermont governor in 1936; disgruntled, he became a Democrat. Always looking for a challenge, Jackson became a Vermont media pioneer—having owned the Burlington Daily News newspaper and the state’s first radio station WCAX, now WVMT. He was president of the Burlington Trust Co. In recent years, Jackson’s memory has been renewed. The story of his 1903 achievement was retold to modern audiences in an award-winning Ken Burns PBS-TV documentary in 1993 and a Hollywood movie production about the trip has been rumored. Jackson died, at age 83, in 1955. His remains were buried beneath a modest headstone in Lakeview Cemetery in Burlington.

NY-VT Nurses Unite, a group of area health professionals and students, will visit Honduras March 16-23. The group will provide medical care for the poor and under-served.
Nurses from page 1 University of Southern Illinois Medical School and the University of Denver. This is their first trek as their own chapter. Russell works for Genesis Healthcare at Mountain View Center in Rutland as the director of nursing in training. She si also a clinical instructor in the North Country Community College Ti campus nursing program. Using her contacts in both states, Russell formed NY-VT Nurses Unite. Making the trip to Honduras with Russell will be NCCC students Angela Fleming, Lori Fuller, Katie Cruickshank, Angie Kilburn, Sara Roskidany and Natasha Pratt. New Yorkers making the trip include Callista O’Bryan, RN, a NCCC graduate; Anthony Galea, RN, a NCCC grad employed at Inter-Lakes Health in Ti; Monica Lawrence, a NCCC grad employed at Inter-Lakes Health in Ti; Dusti Pratt, RN, a NCCC grad employed by Elizabethtown Community Hospital; Sandra Sprague, a RN employed at InterLakes Health; Selina Lemay-Klippel, an associate professor in the NCCC nursing program; and Maria Fuller, LPN, employed at Inter-Lakes Health. Dusti Pratt is making the trip with her daughter, Natasha. Vermonters making the trip include Lianne Rush, RN; Phoebe Cole of Fletcher Allen Health Care; Karin Stafford, RN, a NCCC grad who works are FAHC; Janet Salotti Page of Rutland, a medical records technician at Genesis Health Care, Mountain View Center; Donna Jackson, RN, a nurse manager at Genesis Health Care, Mountain View Center; Sarah Neff, a social worker at Genesis Healthcare, Mountain View Center; Stephanie Mozzer, RN, and Ritza Arias Nunez, a student. While in Honduras the group will work with local doctors. They pan to visit three villages and expect to see 800-900 patients. “We see a lot of people in an eight-hour day,” Russell said. “We start by setting up a computer data base so future brigades can see what treatments patients have received.

then do triage before we provide care. Finally, each patients goes to a dental station for treatment. “Usually the only time these people see a doctor or nurse is when a brigade comes to their village,” she added Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. “You never know what you’ll find,” Russell said. “Last year we had a woman whose foot had been run over by a car. She walked miles to reach us and get treatment. It was fractured and we didn’t have any splints. WE made a splint out of cardboard and duct tape. We call it MacGyver medicine. “I love it,” she said of the experience. “I hope I can go every year. The people are so thankful. It’s hard to describe the feeling you get.” Russell is a strong ambassador for the program. When she first went in 2011 five local people went along. Last year there were nine. This year 22. Russell would like to reach 35 NY-VT participants. “The kids (NCCC students) know about it now and want to be involved,” Russell said. “That’s why we go in March, during spring break.” The trip is rewarding, but it’s also expensive. Each member of the team must pay for transportation and food as well as bring medical supplies. NY-VT Nurses Unite has raised about $15,000 for its trip, but needs more. Any shortfall will be bourne by the travelers. Upcoming fund-raising events include Whirlies World in Middlebury Sunday, Feb. 24, at noon and a bake sale at Stewart’s in Port Henry Sunday, March 3, at 9 a.m. The group also acceptions donations on its website www.empowered.org/NY-VT-Nurses-Unite-Med-BrigadeMarch-2013-Honduras. Donations can also be mailed to NYVT Nurses United, 3489 NYS Rt. 74, Ticonderoga 12883. For more information Email nyvtnursesunite@gmail.

Guest Viewpoint Vermont struggles with difficult budget decisions, it is essential that these decisions reflect the underlying values and priorities upon which a budget is built. How and where we spend money on health care and the needs of the poor and our vulnerable neighbors are directly and inextricably linked to economic challenges. It is surprising and disappointing that the Health Care Exchanges to be established by the Affordable Care Act would result in substantially higher costs for thousands of Vermonters currently enrolled in the Catamount and Vermont Health Assistance Plans. While Gov. Shumlin’s financing proposal for the exchange includes subsidies to mitigate these higher costs, more work is needed to make the exchange affordable. We know that plans with high costs to consumers work best when two conditions are present: you have money and you don’t get sick. This is not the profile of Vermonters covered by the Catamount Health Plan and VHAP. If costs are increased and shifted to consumers, the outcome is predictable and certain: many Vermonters will return to the ranks of the uninsured. We also know that a good education which leads to a good job is the best social policy. This includes excellent pre-school and child care programs. But it should not come at the expense of another worthy program benefitting another group of low-income and vul-
nerable Vermonters. The Earned Income Tax Credit, along with Social Security, is the most successful antipoverty program ever established. Why should these programs compete with one another in a win-lose battle. Is this the type of ‘trade-off ’ we want or need. We need a common sense approach to sustain essential services and programs, while still moving forward on new and important initiatives. A very successful program like the Earned Income Tax Credit, intended to help people remain independent and self sufficient, must not be abandoned so that progress can be made in another area. This must not be a zero sum game of winners and losers. Vulnerable Vermonters already play this game of trade-offs in their everyday lives. In all of this, there must be balance, to include consideration of new revenue. But when revenues are mentioned or even hinted at, we’re told: “don’t go there, don’t even think of going there”—as we watch the piecemeal dismantling of the safety net, one trade-off at a time. These challenges must not lead us to forget the tough decisions and our past commitments that make Vermont a leader in caring for our people. Like a family, we take care of our own. There is no better example than our response to Hurricane Irene. That is our history. That is our legacy. Let’s continue to move forward. Jim Leddy, AARP Vermont

Letter to the Editor To the editor: The 2013 Face Off Against Breast Cancer committee would like to say a big thank you to everyone in this generous community for supporting our event this January. With the help of over 80 community business sponsors, we covered 100 percent of the costs of running this year ’s tournament, and raised over $60,000 for breast cancer patients via the statewide Cancer Patient Support Program. We are grateful for the support of so many local restaurants, businesses, and individuals who donated everything from money and products to the cause—and services
