Addison man cited in Little Lambs Eat Ivy school bus theft case MIDDLEBURY—On the morning of Feb. 18, New Haven Trooper Andrew Leise responded to the report of a school bus theft from the Addison Central School in Addison. Betcha Transit reported one of its school buses was stolen from the school sometime between Wednesday Feb.17 and the morning of Feb. 18. The bus was later located on Market Road in Bridport. The alleged operator of the bus, Jeremy P. Roberts, age 27, of Addison, lost control and came to rest in a field after striking a tree. He was not present when the bus was located. The bus sustained approximately $1,219 in damages and repair costs as reported by Betcha. Follow up investigation was conducted and Roberts was later interviewed at the New Haven State Police Barracks in New Haven Feb. 23. Jeremy P. Investigation revealed that Roberts Roberts took the school bus without permission and subsequently wrecked it on Market Road in Bridport. Investigation revealed that Roberts also took four other school buses without permission over the past 2-3 years after losing his job at Betcha-Transit in Middlebury. Roberts had been employed with Betcha-Transit in Middlebury as a bus driver. Roberts was issued a citation for Aggravated Operation without Owners Consent as well as Operation without Owners Consent and will be required to appear in Addison District Court on March 22. Middlebury Police Department Detective Vegar Boe also issued Roberts a citation for Operation without Owners Consent in conjunction with the cases Middlebury P.D. was actively investigating.
4-H members from all over Vermont gathered at Sweet Butter Churn Farm in Shoreham for a clinic on lambing last week. Thirty-four youth participated in this educational event, hosted and instructed by Leslie Goodrich. Pictured is Noah Quesnel of Middlebury with one-day-old lambs.

Goodrich celebrates aviation milestone VERGENNES — U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and employees of Goodrich Corporation’s Sensors and Integrated Systems in Vergennes celebrated the completion of the plant’s 2000th HUMS diagnostic mechanical system and surpassing the $100 million milestone in HUMS sales March 8. HUMS provides “real-time” monitoring of fatigue in military aircraft, resulting in safety improvements and financial savings for the government. U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopters were retrofitted with the locally made system starting in 2000. The program has been so successful that it is now a standard monitoring system on additional types of helicopters used by U.S. Armed Services.

Vermont ski home in top 10 in U.S. A home in Stowe and Killington made the list of a top 10 U.S. ski homes feature that was recently released by www.TopTenRealEstateDeals.com. In the case of the $16 million Stowe home, the chalet includes over 18,000 square feet, sweeping mountain views and a sunken great room shaped like the Steinway grand piano that graces one corner of the room. The ski-related real estate website reviewed thousands of home listings and talked to real estate agents across the country to rank America’s ten top ski homes for sale based on location, ski facilities, design, features and snow history. The website's marketing director said that they were equally impressed by the the Stowe and Killington areas and other Vermont ski towns as the major eastern U.S. ski area which is a growing celebrity magnet. In addition to the Stowe home, other picks include former President Gerald Ford's ski home in Beaver Creek, Colorado and multi-million dollar places in Jackson Hole, Wyo.; Aspen, Colo.; Park City, Utah and Sun Valley, Idaho.

RUTLAND — It came as a big surprise for 15-yearold Rutland High School student Taylor Hough—the friendly, goal-oriented young woman was thrilled when she heard the big news that she was crowned Miss Teen Vermont International recently. It’s an honor to be crowned for this teen pageant, a pageant that stresses character and smarts over the usual pageant kitsch. To travel the long road to the ultimate crowning event of the Miss Teen International contest, Hough will be busy during the next few months. Then, she will head to Chicago, Ill., in July to compete at the gala national pageant for the title of Miss Teen International. For any Miss Teen contestant heading to Chicago this summer, the areas of competition are designed to help weed out the major players from the others. So, far, Taylor Hough looks like a star. This winter, the RHS student has remained focused on her personal competition platform titled “Rising above a Disability”. Most parents and teachers will tell you there is plenty of negative news reported about today’s youth. But there are far more positive news stories to tell about contemporary teens that don’t make it to the headlines. That’s why Miss Teen International, an organization based in Roanoke, Va., was developed as a positive means to promote today's young women, ages 13-18, and their many in-school and after-school accomplishments. The Miss Teen International 2010 competition will be held July 22-24 at the Northshore Center for the Performing Arts in Chicago. This event will give Hough the opportunity to learn about customs and family life in other countries along with the chance to share her beliefs and make plenty of new friends during the entire week of activities leading up to two exciting nights of competition. Prizes and scholarships will be awarded to the winning contestant. Each contestant, according to Hough, competes in an interview competition valued at 40 percent of her total score, evening gown valued at 20 percent, fitness wear at 20 percent, and fun fashion wear at 20 percent. Each contestant has the opportunity to select a platform of her choice that she spends the year promoting. Hough is interested in the topic of surmounting disabilities. Hough is a busy freshman at Rutland High School and she is active in field hockey, lacrosse, and dance competitions. She continues after-school and on weekends as a community volunteer. Hough is the daughter of Edward and Deborah Hough, sister of Adam and Jennifer, and granddaughter of Maurice and Judith Quesnel and Irene and the late Edward Hough.

Taylor Hough speaks: • What is your favorite word ? My favorite word is “intensity”—it means great strength and energy, which is how I live my life from being in school, on the dance floor, or on the lacrosse field. • What are your beauty secrets? My beauty secrets are that a little bit goes a long way. • What do you take most pride in? Why? I take most pride in being the teen that I am. I have accomplished many things in my 15 years that will take me great places in life. • What is your favorite day of the week and why? My favorite day of the week is Wednesday because the week is half over and I know another great week is only a few days away. • Do you have a good luck charm? What is it? My good luck charm is my cat Oreo; he is not only my cat, but my best friend. I know wherever I go, he’s always clapping his paws for me. Interview courtesy of Miss Teen International
MUHS student wins Legion honors Seventeen year-old Brooke Connor, a senior at Middlebury Union High School, won the Vermont American Legion Oratorical Contest held at the Vergennes American Legion Post 14 on March 6. She will represent the State of Vermont at the American Legion National High School Oratorical Contest in Indianapollis at Indiana UniversityPurdue University, April 9-11. CONNOR impressed the judges with her prepared speech, "Putting Together the Constitutional Puzzle." For the randomly assigned constitutional topic, Brooke had to speak for 3-5 minutes on the Fifth Amendment. According to the teen’s father, the accomplishment also won her a night off of milking chores. She lives on a farm with her parents Paul and Marian Connor in Bridport. Brattleboro Union High School soph-
omore Aria Roach placed second representing district 5 with her speech, "A Search for Equalilty". All the finalists received prize money. The contestants were required to speak on some aspect of the U.S. Constitiution with emphasis on the duties and obligations of a citizen to our government. Brooke Connor will present the same speech subject in the national contest. Department Commander Royal Sheeley congratulated all the competitors for having reached the final level in the State Contest. In his remarks, Commander Sheeley reflected on the importance of the oratorical program in helping young people prepare for responsible citizenship. Oratorical Chairwoman Karlene DeVine reminded those in attendance that the speak-

ing accomplishments of the contestants began when they were in junior high or earlier. Along the way they each sought challenges with more rigorous competition requirements resulting in this opportunity to garner scholarship assistance through The American Legion. The first place winner in the national contest takes home $18,000 and the next two finishers receive $16,000 and $14,000, respectively. Each department (state) winner who participates in the first round of the national contest receives a $1,500 scholarship. The High School Oratorical contest is one of several programs supported by The American Legion Department of Vermont to help young people get the higher education they need to participate in tomorrow's society.

Deer jackin’
M
y wife’s been some ornery lately. It all started back when I got arrested for deer-jackin’. He had me dead to rights. Shootin’ cross the road— restin’ it on the hood, at night, using a light—out of season. I’d been runnin’ the roads one evening when my headlights flashed onto a big burly one standin’ out in the field—out there beyond a line of dead elms. It wun’t like we needed any extra meat or anything; I just thought if I could set up for a shot without it scurryin’ off, I just might try and bad the healthy stag. So, I pulled my truck t’the side a’ the road, grabbed my rifle, got out, flashed it—and that deer did not move. I loaded, cocked, and I drew crosshairs onto that trophy and that deer still did not move. I thought if that buck had not opted to scurry off yet, why he was probably having a miserable life up to now and wanted to die anyways—so I redrew hairs, sqwuzz the trigger, and submerged one deep and into the gullet of that big burly buck.. And you know that deer still did not move; it stood just as quick as a fruzz jack o’ lantern. Well I was puzzled. Never before had I known of an animal of any kind to take a 30-30 in the sweet spot and not go down immediately, but I had seen stranger things in my day and I was not about to be split wet and stacked away heavy by that mangy four-legged split hoof—sniff, sniff— the breeze wafted an odor my way, was it deer blood? The sweat that had begun to emanate from my pores dried up. My heartbeat had put on the binders and had slowed to forty-one and a half beats per minute. My skin had become cold and clammy, like that of a killer. I was the head of a SWAT team, I was G.I. Joe, T.J. Hooker, Walker Texas Ranger. My body become light and pliable like a gay Teletubby. I cinched my belt, spit on my hands, turned my hat around backwards, grabbed hold of my Randle knife and with that was ready to do the one thing I knew I would have to do to bag that allusive animal; I knew I would have to go, hand to hand. Silent, as a fiddlehead fern in bloom I was, but with the strength of a spruce bow, sprung from beneath the spring snow—I clumb past the thistles and over the wooly-wag, down and into the murky mush, and up and over an outcropping of flint rock, to three feet behind that white tailed ghost I stopped. Coiled, like a kitten on uppers, I was ready to pounce and I did, prone onto the back of that contrary deer, grabbed his horns with my left hand, with my right took my knife and slit that bucks throat from west to south and back up and into east! And you know that gal damn deer still did not move. But he bled. Saw dust. All of a sudden I heard someone commence to bellerin’ at me— To be continued.

An inconvenient history I
n the field of actuarial science, I’m even more of an amateur than I am in the dismal science of economics, but even I can comprehend the logic behind the concept of buying insurance before you crash the car. For homeowners’ insurance, after the house is in flames isn’t a good time to seek Allstate’s “good hands”. And similarly for the natural-events sector of construction insurance; building on the New Madrid Fault, along the Outer Banks, or the belowwater-level parishes of Louisiana ought to be a lot more expensive, for actuarial reasons, than building in low-seismic risk areas, distant from oceanic hurricanes, or on the high ground, as the 18th century French did when they sited the original New Orleans on high ground which didn’t flood during the Katrina event. Now, under the modern collective persuasion, prudent builders who don’t select such risky sites are Federally required to subsidize the imprudent who do, sometimes repeatedly. Well-armed guys (on your taxpayer payroll, ironically) clad in ninja suits with three large block letters on the back will come for you if you refuse. Similarly for health insurance. States, such as Vermont, which have adopted the community rating collectivization principle, enable high-health-risk customers to pay the same low premium as less actuarially expensive customers, whether their adverse health prospects result from genetic inheritance or behavioral choice. And then there was Rod Clarke’s anti-helmet motorcycle group, which offered to sign waivers, disclaiming the right to expensive cranial care should they crash while riding; Montpelier was neither amused nor receptive. As those of advancing years know, the longer you wait to enroll in long-term-care insurance, the higher the premiums. To me, as an amateur actuary, it makes perfect sense. A rational person wouldn’t expect to be offered insurance once he’s at the in-patient desk of the nursing home, just as the post-Andrew de-roofed Floridian would have been and should have been turned down (pre-existing condition) for storm coverage. By this measure, the state government of Florida isn’t rational: it now offers homeowners’ insurance at less-than-market rates. When the bill inevitably comes due, look for Florida to demand dollar-denominated help from other States. When medical care was a lot less effective, and therefore a lot less expensive, as recently as the last century, photographs taken then show beer-belly bulldozer operators, smoking movie stars, and drug-sniffing dissolutes in San Francisco basements. Back then, cigarette ads included doctor endorsements, and health insurance, rarely sold, didn’t exclude tobacco users or fat folks, although there was a cigarette ad suggesting that the latter “reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet”. Car insurance wasn’t yet mandatory, but the companies’ actuaries were beginning to raise rates for multiple-crash customers. You couldn’t get insurance for a pre-existing condition like a wrecked car or a crushed pedestrian, but, if you chose to create more of the same after policy-purchase, you paid more for the post-incurred protection. It says a lot abut the mind-set behind federal flood insurance that, actuarial reality notwithstanding,
floodplain dwellers are enabled to pay less than they’ll most likely cost, and (with a very few rare exceptions) they’re encouraged to stay because their rates don’t rise when they choose to stay after repeated flood events. So much for actual actuarial science in governmental practice; I can bring to mind only two Midwestern cities which have relocated to high ground after repeated floods. What I can’t bring to mind is an understanding of the reason for governmental hostility to a health-savings plan, the tax-incentive device whereby consumers set aside dollars for “ordinary” medical services, while relying on risk-spreading insurance against the possibility of “catastrophic” needs. That’s what car owners do when they opt for high-deductible coverage. Nor can I understand why consumers who freely indulge in health-risking behaviors, some of which can’t be described in this family newspaper, shouldn’t pay higher premiums for the higher health-service costs they are actuarially predicted to generate. I can accept the notion that, for the U.S. as a First World nation, having sidewalks lined with the dying uninsured is a Third World tourist attraction not acceptable here, and that, therefore, actuarial science is trumped by governance standards for consumers with involuntary pre-existing conditions, their higher risk being covered in some part by general fund revenues, but I’ll admit to being unable to comprehend why those whose pre-existing conditions are voluntary — twinkie (or worse) based—shouldn’t pay more than those whose body-mass index meets a recognized standard. Nor should taxpayers who subsidize the involuntary pre-existing condition be required to subsidize the voluntary-action miscreants: employers increasingly won’t do it for smokers and the military already won’t do it for fatties, both of these qualities, twinkie legal defense construct notwithstanding, being really quite voluntary. As for those indestructible young adults who freely choose not to purchase insurance in a (mostly) free country, they should be free to go bare if they wish, and sign up later at a higher premium, under the same age-related insurance cost schedule as is already established for long-term care. Should they lose their own personal actuarial gamble and get seriously sick while still “bare”, they ought to expect other taxpayers to give them, as a charity, only the most basic and not the most advanced care. As the Prez himself, in a health-care cost-control context, said recently, “sometimes a pain-killer is cost-effective treatment”. And a recent ag secretary made a (best para-phrased) comment about "clean sheets and a tight roof". The full flavor can be Googled under "Earl Butz quotes", but I'd recommend against it. Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
National pride and the birth of the rocket
W
ho really invented the rocket? Was it Englishman military officer Robert Congreve, Peruvian chemist Pedro Paulet, Russian school-teacher Constantin Tsiolkovsky or American engineer Robert Goddard? It appears that the question of who should be crowned inventor of the modern rocket depends on your definition of “modern” rocketry as well as your national allegiance. My Russian friend Dimitri, a real rocket scientist living and working in California, maintains that Constantin Tsiolkovsky deserves the credit since he worked out all the ideas behind modern space flight from the 1870s to the 1890s. Tsiolkovsky published his comprehensive mathematical findings on rocketry in 1903 although he lacked the funds to perform experimental research. The British point to Col. William Congreve who developed iron-sided military rockets first used in combat against Napoleon’s troops in Boulogne, France, on Nov. 21, 1805. “In about half an hour,” Congreve said, “above 2,000 rockets were discharged. The dismay and astonishment of the enemy were complete—not a shot was returned—and in less than ten minutes after the discharge, the town was discovered to be on fire.” South Americans argue that Pedro Paulet deserves credit since he claimed he introduced the liquid-fueled rocket in 1897. Paulet made his claim in 1927, stating, “that 30 years ago when I was a student at the Institute of Applied Chemistry at the University of Paris, I tested the first liquid-fueled rocket motor.” In the case of Paulet’s claim, we only have his word since there’s no direct evidence or eyewitnesses to his 1897 “first” claim. In the United States, Robert Goddard is often heralded as the inventor of the modern rocket. While conducting research at Princeton University in 1912, Goddard worked on his theory of rocket propulsion using smokeless powder, hydrogen and oxygen. Later, he tested liquid-propellant rockets in Massachusetts and New Mexico. While these gentleman deserve accolades for visionary work, whether on paper or in the field, the principle of the rocket was first demonstrated in the 4th century B.C. by Archytas of Tarentum. This ancient Greek engineer created a steam-powered toy pigeon that was really a rocket by all definitions. Archytas’s toy bird, probably made of metal, was filled with water and hung by a copper wire over a concentrated flame. When the water inside the pigeon-rocket heated up, a jet of steam shot out of the bird’s backside driving it in wild circles. Later, the famous Greek philosopher-inventor Hero adapted Archytas’s concept to a device called an
aeropile. Hero’s aeropile was nothing more than a hollow, rotating copper ball suspended above a pot of water. Fire heated the pot water forcing steam into a small pipe that fed the aeropile. Steam escaped from the ball through small exhaust nozzles that caused the aeropile to spin rapidly. Since many experimenters dabbled with steam, powder and liquid–fueled rockets throughout the centuries between the experiments of Archytas and Goddard, it is probably impossible to crown any one person with the august title of inventor of the rocket. What’s in the Sky: Saturn is in the evening sky in the east this weekend. The Ringed Planet reaches peak brilliance at opposition March 21. Saturn (magnitude -0.5) is shining in the constellation Virgo. The stunning elliptical galaxy Messier 49 (M49 aka NGC 4472) is the brightest galaxy of the Virgo cluster.

He launched the Jobs Tour in January and has so far has travelled to Rutland, Windham, Bennington, Chittenden, Franklin, Caledonia and Lamoille counties, asking local area employers how the state can best help them retain existing jobs and grow new jobs. Since taking office in 2003, Dubie has travelled all over the country and the world to promote Vermont businesses. He says that keeping existing jobs in Vermont and attracting new jobs requires Vermont to compete not just with 49 other states, but the world as well. Forbes Magazine recently ranked Vermont as the 47th best state in the nation to do business. The ranking is down eleven spots from the previous year. Dubie attributes it in part to the state legislature’s failure to reduce state spending and “right-size” state government. “Actions have consequences,” he said, “and raising taxes in a recession, as the legislature did last year, is not leadership. It sends the message that Vermont is closed for business. When our small businesses grow, we create the revenue that funds all the great things that we value in our state.” After visiting several Addison County businesses, Dubie says he is bullish on Vermont. “There is no bigger cheerleader for Vermont than me,” Dubie said. “But we simply must do better than 47th. Making Vermont the best state in New England to earn a living and run a small business must be priority number one.”

Gas truck rolls into lake
ADDISON — While servicing a propane tank at a residence on Stillmeadow Lane in Addison, the operator of a Blueflame gas tanker left the fuel truck unattended. After the operator exited the truck and was walking towards the residence's gas tank, the truck began rolling forward. The truck rolled approximately 100 yards, crashed through multiple fences, and ultimately went down an embankment. It came to rest partially in the ice of Lake Champlain. The vehicle was unoccupied at the time and no injures occurred. An investigation into the

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor has announced that approximately 5,500 workers from companies in 12 states — California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Vermont—are eligible to apply for taxpayer-funded Trade Adjustment Assistance. Among those certified are workers at Monahan, SFI, LLC, in Middlebury who produced synthetic filaments. All covered employees at the facility who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after Dec. 15, 2008, or who are threatened with separation from Feb. 26, 2010, are eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance benefits through Feb. 26, 2012. “Helping workers who are impacted by trade, and ensuring they are better positioned to secure permanent jobs that will bring them family-supporting wages, is an important part of keeping
BRANDON—Franklin Clayton Sanderson, Jr, age 73, died Feb. 10, at Helen Porter Health & Rehabilitation Center in Middlebury. Sanderson was born on Jan. 29, 1937, in Proctor.

the nation’s economic recovery on track,” said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. “Trade Adjustment Assistance will help these workers access the employment and training services they need to prepare for good jobs in promising industries.” Workers covered by these latest TAA certifications will be contacted by their respective states with instructions on how to apply for individual benefits and services. Those who apply may receive case management and re-employment services, training in new occupational skills and trade readjustment allowances that provide income support for workers enrolled in training. Some workers may also receive job search and relocation allowances, and the Health Coverage Tax Credit. “Trade Adjustment Assistance is a key part of the Obama Administration’s coordinated response to helping workers and families in communities
affected by auto industry restructuring and other mass industrial layoffs,” said Dr. Ed. Montgomery, executive director of the White House Council on Automotive Communities and Workers. “TAA certification can provide these families with much needed income support, access to health care, job training and other assistance as they transition to new jobs in other sectors of the economy.” While TAA is open to eligible workers of all ages, workers 50 years of age and older may elect to receive Re-employment Trade Adjustment Assistance instead. If a worker obtains new employment at wages less than $55,000 and less than those earned in adversely affected employment, the RTAA program will pay 50 percent of the difference between the old wage and the new wage, up to $12,000 over a two-year period. RTAA participants may also be eligible for retraining and the HCTC.

THE EAGLE - 5
RUTLAND — Despite other states' voters fuming over incumbent insiders and higher taxes, leave it to Vermont voters to swing the other way. Most Vermont voters didn't bat an eye when it came to keeping incumbents in office and voting "yes" to increased spending and higher taxes to pay for it. Here are selected, abridged Addison, Chittenden & Rutland town meeting results: •Benson: Town voters said no to school budget increase. •Brandon: Local voters approved costs to move the Brandon Police Department out-of-downtown to Forest Dale; town, school and OVUHS budget increases were also approved. •Bristol: Proposed town budget increase, school budget approved; incumbent selectboard members reelected; new town plan defeated; resources extraction zoning amendment defeated. •Castleton: Voters ousted incumbent selectboard member Wayne Renfrew although other incumbents were reelected. Town budget increases were approved. •Clarendon: Keeping inline with neighboring towns, voters approved
all school and town budget increases. •Fair Haven: Joining other towns sending students to FHUHS, local voters approved the increased high school budget. •Ferrisburgh: Town budget, school budget increases approved; incumbent selectboard members reelected; unified school move approved. •Ira: Former Town Treasurer Donald Hewitt publically apologized to town meeting voters for stealing town funds; voters went on to approve school budget increases. •Killington: Voters rejected a $1.4 million bond proposal for land purchase; incumbent selectboard member Jim Blackman was defeated by newcomer Jim Haff. •Middlebury: Town budget and tax increase approved; selectboard incumbents reelected; town school board incumbents reelected. •Monkton: Proposed town budget increased approved; selectboard incumbents reelected' new town hall/community center bond rejected; town school board incumbents reelected. •Mount Holly: Voters approved all town and school budget increases. •Pittsford: Despite low attendance, Pittsford voters approved all town and school spending increases. •Poultney: Voters approved in-

Candidate says thanks To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who wrote in my name for the Middlebury Selectboard opening. In running for the position, I had an opportunity in both written and visual formats to express concerns told to me by others and realized by myself. I was very pleased to hear John Tenney say that “Middlebury is open for business.” On another not, I want to congratulate Travis Forbes. I know that he will represent the Middlebury community well. Brian Bauer Middlebury
Telecommunications To the editor: Our wonderful and caring progressive Vermont State Legislature, sitting on its collective duff in Montpelier, should investigate "Big Phone" in the Green Mountain State. Our state legislators wish to regulate everything from the atom to cow plops—how did they miss this one? Ed Mann Waltham
Open letter to Congressman Welch To the editor: I see a problem in the price of Health care that I have not heard anyone on Capitol Hill address, so I thought I would bring it to your attention. I recently received a bill for some lab work done on a blood test ordered by my local doctor. The total charge was $238.13, but my health Insurance company, CIGNA, has negotiated a discount of $190.43 so that my cost (it's early in the year and I have not yet reached my deductible) is only $47.70. That's great. Or is it? How can a business stay in business when they are only collecting 20 percent on the services they provide? As you know, the same is true for Medicare and Medicaid services: the government has negotiated "special deals" and only pays a percentage of full value to the health care professionals who actually provide health care to the public. So who is paying the rest of the bill? Smaller insurance companies who don't have the clout of the U.S. government? Individuals without health insurance? It's no wonder that health care costs are out of control, when no one knows what they really are. I suggest that as a first step toward healthcare insurance reform, you propose legislation to promote "Truth in Medical Billing" so that everyone is charged an equal price for the same service by a given provider. It's not cost-control, but will help level the playing field so that no one is getting a special deal, and the rest of us don't get stuck paying extra for the same service. And due to the shear size of the programs, this proposal must include Medicare and Medicaid. If we cannot see what the true costs are, and where the money is ultimately going, any other legislation is obviously quite frivolous and will not even begin to strike at the heart of the problem, which is cost. Thank you for your time and consideration. Dave King Orwell

Access to state health insurance
Guest Viewpoint
To the editor: Help is available for people who are interested in enrolling in state health insurance programs. The Vermont Campaign for Health Care Security Education Fund is a non-profit whose mission is to educate Vermonters about and help them enroll in Vermont State health insurance programs (Catamount Health, VHAP, Dr. Dynasaur and Medicaid). We are available to help people determine what they would pay in premiums, help them with filling out the applications, and advocate for them if they are having difficulties with the State. Premiums range from $0 to $205/ month, depending on your income. People are eligible for these programs even if they are employed, if they don’t yet have insurance. People are eligible for Catamount Health with state assistance or VHAP if they have been uninsured for 12 months. There are a number of exceptions to that rule. People are eligible immediately if they retire, lose or quit a job, have work hours reduced, get divorced, leave college, are no longer a dependent, no longer choose to receive COBRA, or the policy holder in the family dies. Eligibility can be confusing. Figuring out who is part of a household is not always evident. I encourage people to be in touch to get assistance.

Words that offend
Let's grow hemp To the editor: Rural Vermont successfully lobbied for a bill in 2008 that legalized hemp in Vermont, but the commercial cultivation of hemp won't be possible here or elsewhere in the US until the federal government changes its drug policy. Why should we grow hemp? That's an easy question to answer: Hemp has a wide variety of uses; as a food source with high levels of protein, as cooking oil, industrial applications include diesel, cloth, rope, paper and more. It is a very resilient plant that does not require herbicides or pesticides to grow. As a matter of fact, it's a good crop to rotate with corn as it helps to kill weeds, without the normally used chemicals. One would think that it would be a logical choice for a farmer to grow this crop. But no, the United States government didn’t pay attention in biology class. Yes, hemp is related to the marijuana plant; however it does not have the psychedelic ingredients of its cousin and cannot be used as a drug. Industrial hemp is produced in many countries around the world. We have to import it. Why not grow it here in Vermont? If you'd like to learn more or support Rural Vermont's efforts to bring hemp back to American soil, visit their website www.ruralvermont.org or call the office at (802) 223-7222.

emember when sticks and stones might break your bones, but words would never hurt you? That was a long time ago. In today's world, any word is liable to become the delivery system for all kinds of stings and arrows.The current high-profile, pain-causing word: "retard". In case you missed it; during a private meeting last month, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel referred to a group of liberal activists as "(deleted) retards" presumably in a show of anger with and disdain for those activists. 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and advocates such as the Special Olympics Committee immediately attacked Emanuel because they believe that the use of "retarded" hurts the feelings of and degrades people who are actually mentally retarded. To prevent this from occurring again in the future, these advocates would like to have the r-word- "retard" and "retarded"—when applied to human beings, removed from our lexicon. Is this logical and reasonable? During the late-19th and early-20th century, "idiot" was used as a diagnostic term to describe a person whose IQ was less than 20. That term is no longer used in medicine, but it has become an acceptable euphemism used to describe someone who is acting stupidly. But maybe that happened because an advocacy group like the Special Olympics Committee didn't yet exist. Perhaps we're missing a real opportunity here to fix our past and finally get ahead of the problem in its entirety? Granted, some of us are easily intimidated. Some of us, like Rahm Emanuel, will experience public humiliation and apologize immediately. But for those among us who aren't easily cowed, there is nothing like a law. Pi Kappa Phi, a fraternity at Colorado State University, has already started to campaign to remove the r-word from everyday speech on campus. In Boston, friends of the intellectually disabled staged a pledge drive at the state house to ban the word "retard" from all of Massachusetts. But moves like these won't really solve the problem. Even as "mentally challenged" has become an acceptable alternate diagnostic term, it has also slipped into common usage. It's been used as a punch-line in a late night talk show monologue, a quick retort in a sit com—heck, everyday people think they're being funny when they say something like, "I'm being 'mentally challenged'" because they can't remember where they parked their car. Cute? I don't think so. And its not just "mentally challenged"— What about "valley girls," "mobsters," " blondes," "surfers," "truckers ," "intellectuals," "mothers-in-law," "old ladies," "bag ladies," among others? Aren't those terms often used as put downs in jokes, on the backs of people who were the inspiration for the phrase in the first place? That's why doing away with the r-word is just putting a sterile patch on a wound that is on the verge of becoming a gusher. Why spend a lot of time and money replacing the r-word from public use, government documents, text books—whatever—when we'll only have to do it all over again with the next hurtful word? That's why Congress should create a committee to fix the problem once and for all? Committee members can use something like the Oxford Dictionary: begin at the letter “a” and just start removing words that might offend someone. Whatever is left will be the dictionary of legally acceptable words—in both public and private venues. And anything else someone wants to express can be expressed in gibberish. When all is said and done, anyone who is actually retarded or mentally challenged or just plain sensitive won't really be any better off. But there’s a bright side: more jobs will be created to monitor a variety of offenses. Expungers will be employed to go through all the written material ever produced in western civilization and redact it. It would be too dangerous to expose future innocent minds to (deleted) bad, misused and abused words such as "retard". What a legacy for the advocates to leave behind; turning a rich language into a feeble substitute. Wait a minute. Maybe feeble won't make the cut, maybe I should say "turning a rich language into a ghuhovcu substitute"? Flanzy Chodkowski Middlebury

Panthers skate to NESCAC title By Fred Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com The Middlebury College Panthers won the NESCAC Championship tournament last weekend at Bowdoin College, and now will be competing for the NCAA Division III National Championship, beginning this weekend. The Panthers defeated Charlie Trinity 4-2 in the NESCAC Townsend semifinals last Saturday, and then knocked off top-seeded Bowdoin College 3-2 in an exciting conference championship game on Sunday. This Saturday they will host Plattsburgh in the NCAAA quarterfinals. Face-off time is scheduled for 7:00 PM. Against Trinity the Panthers jumped out to a 4-0 lead through the first two periods, and then survived a comeback attempt by the Bantams in the third. Junior forward Ken Suchoski put Mathie Dubuc the Panthers on top 1-0 with a power play goal 7:33 into the opening period. Middlebury then opened up the game with three unanswered goals from Martin Drolet, Matthew Dubuc and John Sullivan in the second. But Trinity wasn’t about to quit. Adam Houli and Jeffrey Menard scored for the Bantams in the final period. But in the end the hole they dug was to deep and the Panthers held on to claim the 4-2 win. Middlebury ended the contest with a 40-28 shot advantage. In the net junior goalie Wesley Vesprini made 36 saves for Trinity, while John Yanchek stopped 26 for the victorious Panthers. The Bantams finished their season with a 15-9-2 record. Sundays Conference Championship game against the Bowdoin Polar Bears was even tougher. The Panthers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on two opening period power play goals from Dubuc, giving the freshman forward 3 goals over the course of the weekend’s two games. Bowdoin answered though. Ryan Blossom scored an unassisted short handed goal for the second periods lone score, cutting the Panthers lead to one, 2-1. Then halfway through the final period Blossom struck again, tying the game at 22. But with just 1:42 left to play in the game Panthers senior forward Charlie Townsend scored on his own unassisted goal, lifting Middlebury to the 3-2 win and the conference championship. Middlebury out shot Bowdoin 28-19. In the net Yanchek had 17 saves to preserve the victory for the Panthers, while Chris Rossi made 25 saves for Bowdoin, who wind up their season at 19-6-1. The Panthers now stand just three wins away from a national championship. They will face the Plattsburgh Cardinals Saturday evening in the quarterfinals. The two teams split their previous two meetings this year. In just the third game of the year, way back on November 27th the Cardinals defeated the Panthers 3-1. But Middlebury got some pay back when the two teams met again in Middlebury on February 2nd with a 5-3 win. It ought to be a real good one. The women’s team came to an end with a heartbreaking, 2 - 1 quadruple overtime loss to the Trinity Bantams in the NESCAC Semifinals last Saturday at Amherst. The Panthers took a 1-0 lead quickly when Heidi Woodworth scored just 3:47 into the game. Trinity however knotted it at 1-1 when Britney McKenna scored a little over halfway through the second period. That is how it would stay, not only for the final period and a half, but also through three sudden death overtime periods. It isn’t like both clubs didn’t have their opportunities. Middlebury would end up blasting 61 shots on goal, and
Trinity would fire off 56, but both goalies were brilliant. Middlebury’s Lani Wright stopped an amazing 54 shots, only to be outdone by Bantam net minder Isabel Iwachiw, who wound making 60 saves. Then 3:49 into the fourth overtime Trinity’s Payson Sword finally got one past Wright and Trinity moved on to the Conference Championship. Middlebury’s season ends with a 16-7-3 record.

InBrief MIDDLEBURY–A few years ago, Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT) and Middlebury, Faith Sessions-Neil, of Hinesburg, and her sister Janice Allen, of Englewood, Fla., protected an 11.7-acre piece of land in East Middlebury. 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. 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.”

SATURDAY March 13, 2010
How to choose the perfect garden perennials reach 15 inches high and a bit wider. 'Caramel' is listed as hardy to USDA zone 4, with trials underway at the University of Vermont on the hardiness of this and other coralbells. It does best in full sun in the north if kept watered, part shade in the south. The best soil for it is a rich, moist loam but well-drained. Try 'Caramel' in masses in borders, under shrubs such as roses, along edges of beds and paths, and in containers. Contrast the leaf color with that of darker blackish coralbells, or contrast the leaf texture with ornamental grasses. The thread-leaf blue star (Amsonia hubrichtii) is not hardy in all of the north (USDA zone 5 or -10 to -20 degrees F average winter low). Where it does grow this less common perennial, native to the mountains of Arkansas, provides a mound of powdery blue, star-shaped flowers in early summer in the north. Plants form a mound 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. It provides a fine feathery texture with its thread-like leaves that turn gold in fall. Like other bluestars, this one grows best in full sun in the north, and moist but well-drained soil. It will tolerate dry soil once established. Also it will tolerate some shade, but may flop and have less showy fall color. It is best massed in borders, by itself, native plant gardens, or individually in rock gardens. It combines well with blue woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata). Recent Perennial Plant of the Year winners that you might consider too include the golden Hakone grass and hellebores (both generally hardy to zone 5), 'Rozanne' perennial geranium, 'Walker's Low' catmint, 'Becky' shasta daisy, 'David' garden phlox, and Japanese painted fern. More on these, and other winners, can be found online (www.perennialplant.org).
By Dr. Leonard Perry University of Vermont How do you decide what perennials to choose from among the thousands available? A good place to start might be those voted the top for this year of the Perennial Plant Association, the industry group representing growers and professional garden designers, from which the perennial of the year will be selected. The top choices of perennial professionals from across the country include relatively new cultivars (cultivated varieties) as well as a less known species. 'Northwind' is an ornamental switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) with bluish-green foliage, compared to the green of the species or reddish of some cultivars. It is also one of the most upright of the switchgrasses, many tending to flop over with age later in the season. The 4 to 5-foot clumps are topped, late in the season, with one to 2-foot flowery plumes called "panicles" of small yellowish flowers. As with all switchgrasses it prefers full sun and a moist and fertile soil. It will tolerate sandy or clay soils, and drought once established. It is hardy to much of the north (USDA zone 4 or -20 to -30 degrees F average low in winter). This perennial looks good in masses, in the middle to back of borders, on slopes, and combined with many other perennials. 'Caramel' is one of the many new coralbells (Heuchera), grown mainly for its apricot leaves in light and dark shades. It does flower in warm areas with light pink small flowers on spikes above the foliage in early summer. This is one of the selections of the hairy coralbells (H. villosa), a southeastern U.S. native, although it originated as a chance seedling in France. Under good conditions and warm climates it can
