WASHINGTON – Town Meeting voters in Vermont last week overwhelmingly approved measures calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United and restore limits on corporate campaign spending. According to the latest tally, voters in 55 towns passed resolutions to amend the Constitution to ensure that corporations do not have the same First Amendment rights as people. “The people of Vermont and across America are totally disgusted with the huge amounts of money that billionaires and corporations are throwing into the political process,” Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) said March 7. “We have to overturn this disastrous Citizens United decision. I hope the message coming out of the town meetings will spark a grassroots movement across the United States.” Sanders last Dec. 8 introduced the Saving American Democracy Amendment. His proposal would restore the power of Congress and state lawmakers to enact campaign spending limits like laws that were in place for a century before the controversial court ruling.

MIDDLEBURY — The Better Middlebury Partnership did it again this year by organizing another wildly successful annual Vermont Chili Festival in downtown Middlebury. The chili contest event, now in its fourth year, took place March 10 under a cloudless, blue sky. Contest winners were not available at press time. Named one of the Top 10 Winter Events for the past three years by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, the event included jugglers, live music, singing, a beverage tent where Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) greeted visitors, and chili—lots and lots of it. It was difficult to estimate how many people attended this year ’s event, but event organizer Holmes Jacobs of Two Brothers Tavern reported that every one of the Partnership’s 6,000 plastic chili sampling spoons were gone by day’s end. Over 50 restaurants, businesses, community organizations, and caterers from around the state participated. The Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department displayed a hook-and-ladder fire truck and firefighters dished out theirs chili that was hotter than you know what. Proceeds from this year ’s event will go towards the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund/Vermont 211.

Gailer School to close at the end of the school year By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury's well respected Gailer School will close at the end of the current school year, according to Headmaster Lonny Edwards. According to a statement, Edwards said the private school, which has served hundreds of Vermont students over the years, had been facing declining numbers of students enrollment. Edwards also cited the local economy and budget problems as contributing factors in the decision. The school has been a middle and high school, serving grades 7 through 12, since 1989. The school first opened in Middlebury at St. Mary’s Catholic School. But in 1998, the school moved to rented space in Shelburne. It returned to its Middlebury roots in 2006. The school’s final location is at 54 Creek Rd., across from Key Bank. According to the school’s website, it inspired students “to love learning and become insightful world citizens... It is expected that each member of the Gailer community will participate honorably in academic areas and will let honesty, kindness and open communication guide them in personal matters.” The school was founded by Harry Chaucer, PhD, a former high school science teacher. Chaucer, an admirer of Renaissance man Leonardo da Vinci, based the Middlebury school on his years of creative teaching t Champlain Valley Union High School in Hinesburg. Chaucer designed the school’s unique curriculum. As part of their academic requirements, students were required to seek out original source material, develop their own personal thesis from these sources, then test the thesis in the real world. An online history of the school appears on Vermontguides.com.

St. Mary’s students in P.J.’s enjoy green eggs, ham By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY - Students at St. Mary’s Catholic School didn’t start the school day in their normal parochial school uniforms March 7. Instead, students from kindergarten to grade 6 showed up for class in their pajamas. The students, clad in comfy cotton P.J.s, were ready for a day celebrating their reading skills and the birthday of late children’s book author Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. Most Vermont schools marked March 2 as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association, but St. Mary’s teachers decided upon the week of March 5-9 as a week-long school reading event instead. Seuss published 46 children's books including the best known works, "Green Eggs and Ham", "The Cat in the Hat", "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!", "Horton Hatches the Egg", "Horton Hears a Who!", and "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish". At St. Mary’s, third-grade teacher Sara Audy served up a green eggs and ham brunch for children in the school cafeteria. According to Emily Glover, adminstration assistant, “the students were very eager to try green eggs and ham.” Classroom activities included reading Dr. Seuss and other children’s books.

From the Editor
Gailer School, farewell I
t was very sad to learn that the Gailer School in Middlebury will close its doors forever at the end of the current academic year (see news story in this issue). The private, grades 7-12 school was founded in 1989 by science teacher Harry Chaucer. Chaucer named the school’s Da Vinci learning program after the great thinker and tinkerer Leonardo da Vinci. And just like Da Vinci, Gailer students continue to study the vast sweep of time from the creation of the cosmos to the modern era. According to various reports, school officials cited declining enrollment plus the economy as reasons for closing the school. Such facts are hard to swallow especially when less vibrant learning institutions seem to survive these annoyingly persistent hard times. During 23 years living in Middlebury (I arrived in town the same year the Gailer School opened its doors), I have been fortunate to know two, outstanding young people who attended the school during the early 1990s. While I won’t mention these young people by name, for fear of publically embarrassing them, I will say that I was extremely impressed by the education they received at this local private school. Both boys I know – well, they’re grown men now – had personal learning challenges, but at the Gailer School they blossomed into smart, self-starting individuals who cared about life, their community, and the environment. The Gailer School has six values at the core of its unique learning program; I think they’re worth repeating here. The text below comes directly from the Gailer School’s website. I hope school officials do not mind their appearance here: “Respect: All members endeavor to respect themselves, the community, the learning process, and the environ-
ment. Community members demonstrate respect through language, gesture, compassion and action. “Challenge: Gailer motivates students to accept and invite challenge, to be open to intellectual risk, and to achieve more than what is asked of them. “Creativity: Gailer encourages innovative responses to challenges. Through disciplined practice and ingenuity, students express themselves, experiment, follow their curiosities and explore new approaches. “Service: Performance of service to others fosters responsible world citizenship. Gailer students develop their own community service projects and regularly share their learning with community members. “Diversity: The Gailer community celebrates intellectual, social, racial and ethnic diversity. Our students are challenged to examine personal identity and cultural assumptions in order to foster insightful world citizenship. “Sustainability: The Gailer School is committed to sustainable practices as a community in recognition of the human impact on both the local and global environment. Conservation, adaptive reuse, waste reduction, recycling and consumption of healthy products and foods (local if possible) are some of the practices the Gailer community embraces.” Saying goodbye to a unique learning institution in our midst, no matter how small, is never easy. But with this farewell, we say “thank you” to all the administrators, teachers, parents, supporters, and students who passed through the hallways of the Gailer School over the past 23 years. And to this Gailer School community, young and old, know that you will continue to make a difference in our world. While your physical alma mater will disappear, its memory and heritage of values will live on through generations scattered far and wide. Lou Varricchio

Slang on the Slopes By John Bernardi
L
ike all good fanatics, skiers and snowboarders have developed their own unique terminology. In some cases, the fun-loving slang is universal between the two disciplines, and in other cases, it is derogatory toward the other. Either way though, the slopes are full of enough jargon and lingo to symbolically push old man Webster over the proverbial edge of the mountain. The “milk run” is the first run of the day and “plankers” do it on skis, while “knuckle draggers” do it on a snowboard, or “lunch tray.” If you’re a “Betty,” you’re a novice female snowboarder, while “chicks on sticks” can be any group of girls or women on skis. Hopefully, they are wearing a “brain bucket” for head protection and their “chatter” refers not to their rapid conversation, but to the unwanted vibration of their skis or board when running at speed. A small snowboarder might be referred to as a “grom” and anyone who ventures into closed terrain could be considered a “poacher”.” A “dump” has nothing to do with a trip to the bathroom, but has everything to do with a significant snowfall. Speaking of lavatory references, “pooping” refers to sitting way back on your skis while bent at the waist, which usually results in making “toilet turns” all the way down the slope. This is considered bad form for adults, but “lift lickers,” kids who can’t resist sticking their tongue on the chairlift bar, enjoy doing it for fun. If the snow is really good, it’s referred to as “epic,” if too soft “mashed potatoes” and if too hard “boiler plate” or even “bullet proof.” On occasion, good snow turns to “crud” after too many skiers or snowboarders have used it to get their “freshies” early in the day, causing late day conditions to become “gnarly.” Worse yet, “death cookies” are present after extensive snowmaking and grooming leave big frozen chunks of ice in the middle of the trail. This, of course, could cause a potential “yard sale” should some poor sap wipe out, leaving their equipment strewn across the trail in plain view of the chairlift. “Goofy” refers to leading with your right foot on a snowboard where you might “jib” in the Terrain Park or “shred” high speed
carving turns. Done well, these could be considered “phat” and done poorly they could be considered “wack.” Either way, a “hucker,” flying high through the air could end up a “bono” should they smack into a tree. Of course, “snow scum” refers to any skier or snowboarder refusing to follow the responsibility code or other slope side etiquette, while “run rubbish” is any group blocking passage on the trail. This same group, or any group like it, would be considered “vermin” if blocking access to the lift line or “gapers” if pausing to take in the view. “Schussing” on skis is straight lining down the “fall line” without turning, and “ripping” is good high speed carving. However, either one could result in a “snotsicle” due to the wind chill reacting with a runny nose. Incidentally, any parent using a leash or harness to teach their young child on the slopes would be referred to as a “dog trainer” and is usually well equipped to handle partially frozen mucous. Perhaps you consider yourself “old school” and you believe most of this slang to be the work of young punks with no regard for tradition or nostalgia. In that case, you better make sure your “wicket” doesn’t impede your “stem Christie” resulting in a “face plant” of epic proportions. Even worse, a poorly executed “wedeln” on your long straight skis could cause you to become a “rag doll,” cart wheeling down the slope. After all, some “hoe dad” is likely to be watching from his perpetual seat in the lodge, glad he is just a “poser” instead of an old fashioned “fruit booter” like you. Pondering such linguistic nonsense on a recent ride up the gondola at Gore Mountain, I couldn’t help but wonder how the English Dictionary would read differently if old Webster new the pure joy of “vertical rise,” finding the “sweet spot” and “shredding the gnar.” Instead, the unfortunate “flatlander” never knew what pleasure awaited him on the proverbial edge of that mountain. John Bernardi is an avid lifelong skier and freelance writer. He can be contacted through his website at www.slopesider.net.
The Logger comes to Vergennes VERGENNES — Rusty DeWees returns to where it all started, the Vergennes Opera House, with a fresh Logger comedy and music show. Vergennes is where The Logger ’s first DVD was filmed. “It’s been fourteen years since I’ve played the Vergennes Opera House, thirteen too many,” Rusty says. He will play April 20-21, both shows start at 8 p.m., at the historic Opera House. “People love the updated show,” Rusty says, “it’s a fun show to perform, the new show has a whole bunch more interplay with the audience, and cripes, folks in and around Vergennes come ready to have a gol danged good ole time … even the sober ones. Last time I played there, a few folks showed up on snow machines … in May!” Rusty says the show is good for just about all ages, but only if you dare cause its rated S.C. for “some cussin’”. The Logger ’s original, ever evolving one-man comedy tour de force has played to hundreds of thousands of fans throughout Vermont, Northern New York (state, not city), and around New England since The Logger first took the stage in 1998. Rusty said, “You’ll laugh, hard … you’ll leave the theatre happy!” The show is an all-out comedy that features DeWees playing a host of off-beat, rural characters who have what you might call unique and astute thoughts about life. “I have lots of new routines and stories, new stand-up style stuff, some political material, and jokes about my prostate, which are always crowd pleasers. I’ll lay in some of the old classics, too, and, this show is gluten free,” Rusty said. DeWees mentions you may not want to leave your seat to pee unless you want to become part of the show. The show features some music too, with Rusty himself on the guitar and vocals. “Girls don’t cry when I sing, men do, but, I ain’t too too bad really,” Rusty notes. “We’re actually pretty good.” The Boston Globe said the Logger is, “Inventive, enter-
taining, exceptional!” Rusty’s mom said, “It’s the best show performed in the history of the world.” Beside his fall tour, Rusty just released a second book, “Scrawlins Too” (many stories featured in the Addison Eagle and Green Mountain Outlook). Rusty speaks at high schools on career and a substance free lifestyle, and writes a weekly newspaper column. He’s appeared nationally on shows including, “Law and Order,” “Saturday Night Live,” and films, “Black Dog,” with the late Patrick Swayze, and, “Pieces of April,” with Katie Holmes. He’s worked with well-known Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven on “A Stranger in the Kingdom” and “Disappearances,” starring Kris Kristofferson. DeWees will fill the tank, prime it, and pull the cord, for two shows, at the Vergennes Opera House, April 20, 21, at 8 p.m., tickets $20, www.vergennesoperahouse.org.

Red Cross responds to Charlotte fire CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 855 Guinea Rd. in Charlotte last week. The fire was reported by a passing motorist who called 911. Area fire departments including Shelburne, South Burlington, Vergennes, Starksboro, New Haven, Hinesburg and Monkton responded to assist. Charlotte and Shelburne ambulance squads responded as well as the American Red Cross. The initial reports indicated that two people were trapped in the residence but when the first firefighters arrived on scene both people were out of the home. One tenant was later transported to the hospital for smoke inhalation but was released a short time after arriving at the hospital. The fire departments were able to extinguish the fire but the house is a total loss and damage estimates are in excess of $100,000.
Accident causes power outage ADDISON – On March 5, after 1 p.m., troopers from Vermont State Police-New Haven were dispatched to one vehicle crash on Route 22A in Addison. A 2009 Toyota, driven by Nicky Courville, 42, of Burlington was southbound. Courville told police that he attempted to pass another vehicle; however, when he deemed it unsafe to do so, he swerved back into his southbound lane of travel. At this point, Courville lost control of his vehicle and traveled off the road. He subsequently hit several mailboxes and a telephone pole. There was substantial damage to his vehicle. Courville was transported to Porter Hospital because of his injuries and was released later on this same afternoon. Homes near this crash lost power for several hours due to telephone pole repair. Any witnesses to this crash are encouraged to call Trooper Cathy Cappetta at 388-4919.
Couple in Cornwall crash CORNWALL — On March 8, at approximately 1:51 p.m., troopers from Vermont State Police-New Haven responded to a one vehicle accident on Route 30 north of Cider Mill Road in Cornwall. Troopers at the scene said the front-seat passenger, Ann B. Rose, 75, of Middlebury, had been extracted from the vehicle and taken to Porter Hospital. The driver, Frank. S. Rose, 76, of Middlebury, was still trapped in the vehicle. Middlebury Heavy Rescue, Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance, and Corwall Fire and Rescue worked to extricate the operator and keep the scene safe. The operator was freed from the vehicle and transported to Porter Hospital. Investigation of the scene revealed that the Roses were traveling northbound on towards Cornwall. After they passed the Cider Mill Road intersection, the vehicle left the east side of the roadway and traveled more than 300 feet, rotated 90 degrees clockwise, and hit a tree. The vehicle came to uncontrolled rest facing south. It is unknown if speed was a factor. Both occupants were wearing a seatbelt. The investigation is ongoing. The Roses were later transported to Fletcher Allen. If there are any witnesses to this crash, contact Trooper Cathy Cappetta at the Vermont State Police-New Haven Barracks 388-4919.

Wennberg named director of health-care watchdog group By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND —Vermonters for Health Care Freedom, a watchdog group opposed to the state’s single-payer health care plan, announced the appointment of Jeffrey Wennberg as executive director. Wennberg is a former Addison Eagle editor, Vermont Commissioner of Environmental Conservation, a former Rutland City mayor, and a public policy consultant. Wennberg assumed the responsibilities of VHCF from founder Darcie Johnston March 1 Johnston left the organization to focus on her consulting business. According to Wennberg, “What we do know of Gov. Shumlin’s reforms thus far is that they will harm our economy and our ability to retain and attract physicians. Neither of those outcomes is good for Vermont.” Vermonters for Health Care Freedom has taken the position that the proposed single payer health care program will increase costs and taxes and reduce access to doctors and hospital care.

In addition to conventional shelter work, ACHS handles about 110 animal cruelty cases a year, involving nearly 500 animals. They also operate a program that catches feral cats, spays and neuters them, gives them vaccinations and then releases them back into their environment, healthy and unable to reproduce. Executive Director Jackie Rose is extremely grateful for the efforts of community members who donate time, energy and supplies to keep the shelter running smoothly. “It’s very expensive to run a shelter,” says Rose, noting that it costs an average of $495 a year per animal. She said the shelter currently has 60 active volunteers, who do everything from feeding and caring for the animals to helping with fundraising events and community outreach initiatives, including their partnership with Meals on Wheels to provide pet food along with meals, so elderly people can keep their beloved pets in their homes with them. “We’re incredibly grateful for everything they do,” said Rose. There are many ways for community members to help with the Homeward Bound campaign, including naming opportunities. $1,000 will place your name of the Wall of Donors in perpetuity. Individual rooms also provide naming opportunities, such at the Cat Play Room for $10,000, the Dog Barn for $250,000 or the entire building for $400,000. There are less expensive ways to donate, such at the LEASH Fund (Landscaping, Equipment, Accessories, Supplies & Happiness), and the BONES Fund (Building $ Other Needed Essential Services). Individual donations of any amount are also gratefully welcomed. To date, the project has received gifts totaling $896,025, and they are hoping to cross the $1.12 million mark with a bit more support from donors.

MIDDLEBURY - For more than 35 years the Addison County Humane Society (ACHS) has been providing shelter, care, and new homes to homeless and abused animals in Addison County. The building that currently houses the shelter was built in 1990 to house sixty animals, but over the years, the numbers of animals in need of their services has exploded to an average of about 150 cats, dogs and rabbits in need of a safe haven. It became obvious that the shelter was too overcrowded, inefficient and outdated to meet the needs of the ever increasing number of animals. To address those needs, ACHS has undertaken a $1.2 million capital Homeward Bound Campaign to renovate and expand their space. The new facilities, which are well under way, will not only benefit the animals who depend on them, but also the community at large, from the staff and volunteers and visitors, to their many community outreach programs. The upgraded shelter will triple in size. It will have state of the art housing for their guests, including cat condos, which provide separate spaces for cats who need to be alone to eat, sleep and eliminate; three cat “common rooms” for more sociable felines, a new dog barn that can house up to 14 dogs, with indoor play and training areas; and expanded medical space, including two quarantine rooms and one isolation room. In addition to animal-dedicated space, there will also be two Meet and Greet rooms where families can

Starksboro voters approve items By Alice Dubenetsky
newmarketpress@denpubs.com STARKSBORO – Starksboro held it’s annual Town Meeting and School District Meetings March 3. All ballot items were approved by the voters, including the municipal General Fund Budget of $497,401, and the Robinson School District budget in the amount of $2,492,138. Starksboro was one of nearly 30 Vermont towns to take up a ballot item seeking direct to Congress to propose a U.S. Constitutional amendment in response to Citizens United, a the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling affirming personhood and the right to free speech, including political speech, to corporations. The article passed on a nearly unanimous voice vote. Australian balloting was held March 6 (Vermont’s traditional Town Meeting Day). All candidates for town office positions were unopposed: Susan Jefferies was re-elected to serve three more years on the Selectboard, Dan Dubenetsky was reelected to serve as Town Moderator and School District moderator for 1 year.

The site would also have accommodated a bus stop for the new Route 116 CCTA/ACTR commuter bus as well as a park and ride area. Now town planners must decide where a new bus stop for the commuter bus will be located. Voters approved $487,106 for the police department budget.

VUHS to host ‘Stone Soup’ event April 3 VERGENNES — The Addison County Relocalization Network’s third-annual Stone Soup Summit on April 3 at Vergennes Union High School. The ACORN Network Stone Soup took place at Mt. Abe Union High School in 2010, Middlebury Union High School in 2011, and will visit the final district of Addison County in 2012. The conference is named for the proverbial meal created entirely through the generosity and diverse resources of a single community. ACORN’s goal is to bring together stakeholders in the county to share ideas and inspiration with others working on similar Farm-to-school projects. Annie Henderson of Otter Creek Farm in Panton, will be leading a discussion group for farmers at Stone Soup. She is interested in Farm-to-school “as a farmer, consumer and a parent.” Through farm-to-school programs, she says, “small local farms especially benefit rural areas, keeping the land ‘green,’ while schools provide nutrition education and encourage students to try new ‘real foods.’” Farm-to-school is the national movement to connect classrooms, cafeterias, and communities in order to improve school nutrition and foster students' abilities to make food choices that are good for their bodies, the environment, and their communities. Farm-to-school touches nearly everyone in Addison County in some way: from parents who care about what their kids are eating for lunch, to farmers looking to sell locally at a fair price, to healthcare professionals who address childhood weight issues, to the students themselves. Jonathan Corcoran, ACORN president, said, "Farm-to-school is a community vision for healthy schools. It includes everyone: each of us has a special ingredient, a unique perspective or an experience to add to the Stone Soup we are creating together, to the farm-to-school conversation we're growing in Addison County." For the first time this year, Stone Soup participants will meet in affinity groups to discuss problems and solutions relevant to their own roles in Farm-to-school efforts. The eight affinity groups will be: students, foodservice, teachers, administrators, farmers, parents, summer program teams, and nurses and other healthcare professionals. Local leaders from each group will facilitate the discussions, and student volunteers will take notes for an archive on the ACORN website. Moira Cook, director at the Vermont State Department of Health’s Middlebury office, will co-facilitate the discussion for nurses and healthcare professionals. “I am excited to participate in the Stone Soup Summit,” she said, “because it will be a great opportunity to learn from educators, students, food service professional, health care providers and others about how to increase access to nutritious, local foods in our schools.” Stone Soup will feature a locally sourced meal for a suggested donation of $5. ACORN encourages anyone interested in attending Stone Soup to register for the free event through the group’s website www.acornvt.org. ACORN in Addison County is not affiliated with the former national community activist group.

MIDDLEBURY — Modern Vermonters rarely pause to consider the interesting connections between the sixteenth president and the Green Mountain State. Here's a rundown of Honest Abe's Top Ten Connections to Vermont: 10. No other state gave Lincoln, the first Republican president, a larger victory margin in 1860 than Vermont: over 75 percent of Vermont's votes. He did even better in 1864, getting over 76 percent. 9. Mary Todd Lincoln, Robert Todd Lincoln and Tad Lincoln visited Manchester, Vermont in 1864 and stayed at the Equinox Hotel. The First Lady was smitten with the area, and enjoyed her summer stay . . . and made reservations to return the following summer with the President. The Equinox even built a special suite in anticipation of the President's stay. Fate intervened, however, and Lincoln was assassinated in April 1865. 8. The highest point in Addison County is named after President Lincoln: Mount Abraham. 7. Robert Todd Lincoln, like his mother, fell in love with Vermont. Decades later, after enormous success as a public servant and as a businessman, he returned and purchased 500 acres in Manchester on which to build his summer home. The Hildene mansion has been painstakingly restored by the Friends of Hildene and is a popular tourist attraction.

6. Vermont Senator Justin Morrill, who like Lincoln came from humble beginnings, was a key legislative ally of Lincoln's. Morrill sponsored key revenue measures to raise early funds for the Union Army, and also sponsored the legendary Morrill Land Grant College Act, which was signed into law by President Lincoln in 1862. 5. At the 1860 Republican National Convention in Chicago, the Vermont delegation was heavily courted by Presidential hopefuls Nathaniel Banks (governor of Massachusetts) and William Seward (senator from New York). The Vermont delegation, however, kept their options open and on the first ballot supported Vermont Sen. Jacob Collamer for President (Collamer later withdrew). On the second ballot, Vermont was the third state to vote . . . and the first state to shift their support to the relatively unknown dark-horse candidate, Abraham Lincoln. 4. Vermont Gov. J. Gregory Smith held Lincoln in such high regard that in 1864 he sent the President a can of maple honey and some maple sugar. In 1865, Gov. Smith travelled to Washington to meet with the President and discuss Vermont's quota for the Union Army draft. Lincoln's reply, which Gov. Smith received permission to publish, painstakingly discussed the number of recruits from Vermont and New Hampshire compared with each state's quota. (Famously, a small group of confederates took over St. Albans in the waning months of the Civil War, with the intent to burn down Gov. Smith's home. The St. Albans Raid goes
down as the northernmost engagement of the Civil War). 3. Robert Todd Lincoln died in Vermont at the Hildene mansion in 1926. He was the only one of Lincoln's four sons to live to adulthood. Robert Todd Lincoln also had the unfortunate distinction of being present (or nearby) at three presidential assassinations: he arrived at Ford's Theater shortly after his father was shot in 1865; he was an eyewitness to President James Garfield's assassination at a Washington DC train station in 1881; and he accompanied President William McKinley to the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York in 1901 - where McKinley was shot and killed 2. Stephen Douglas, who defeated Lincoln for a U.S. Senate seat in 1858, but then lost to him in the Presidential election of 1860, was born in Brandon. The Lincoln-Douglas Debates are an important part of American history. The Douglas birthplace is now home to the Brandon Museum and Visitor Center. 1. The last two descendants of President Lincoln were raised at Hildene in Manchester. Mary Lincoln Beckwith, nicknamed Peggy by her grandfather Robert Todd Lincoln, inherited Hildene upon her grandmother's death and spent her remaining years there as a recluse. She died at Rutland Hospital in 1975. Her brother Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, also raised at Hildene, died a few years later in Washington, D.C., as the last undisputed descendant of Abraham Lincoln.

County fire officials meet with VSP MONTPELIER — In consultation with state legislators and fire officials, and as a result of a comparison to national search and rescue protocols, the Vermont State Police is revising its search and rescue policy. VSP Col. Tom L’Esperance and Deputy Commissioner John Wood met with lawmakers last week to listen to recommendations regarding the Vermont State Police policy. In response to speaking with public safety officials, House Reps. David Sharpe and Rep.Michael Fisher (D-Addison-4) said the Vermont State Police’s willingness to discuss, review, and modify the policy to include notification and involvement of trained local fire resources was appreciated. At a recent meeting with fire officials in Addison County, L’Esperance and Deputy Commission Wood asked for input to the drafted policy changes. After the discussion, Vice President Dave Shaw of the Addison County Firefighters Association said, “The fire chiefs on the association appreciate the opportunity to lend their expertise to the proposed policy changes; which will allow for a coordinated and unified response to search and rescue operations in Vermont. As such we support the Vermont State Police continued administration of search and rescue operations in Vermont.” According to Matthew Vinci president of the Professional Firefighters of Vermont
said, “The public is best served when local and state resources work together to respond to the needs of our state. And I applaud the leadership at the Department of Public Safety for working to formulate a plan that is very responsive to the people who live, work, and visit Vermont.” The revised policy, which will formalize customary and successful search and rescue practices, includes language that addresses the official notification by the local station commanders or on-scene supervisors to the local fire chief and the Vermont Fish and Wildlife district commander, as well as the establishment of unified command for search and rescue incidents. Hartford Fire Department Chief Steven Locke, a member of the Technical Rescue Group and chairman of the Vermont Fire Rescue Services Coalition in Vermont, said, “I am confident that this revised policy will ensure a collaborative response to missing and lost persons by state and local responders and thereby allowing the best chance of a successful outcome.” Vermont State Police officials said the final policy will be completed soon and disseminated to members. “There is always room for improvement,” said L’Esperance. “Any agency, when faced with challenges, must be willing to critically evaluate their process and incorporate ever-evolving best practices. The end result is a safer Vermont.”

The devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake that struck the Tohoku (northeast) area of Japan on March 11, 2011 triggered tsunami waves over 100 feet high, claiming 20,000 lives and over 100,000 houses. The long-term impact from the unprecedented scale of destruction is immeasurable. Thousands of residents have been displaced, and entire towns have been swept away. Organizers of the “Rethink, Rebuild, Remember” project note, “During the year since the earthquake, we have seen countless images of deadly tsunami waves, wrecked homes, homeless families, orphaned children. But recently our exposure to the striking footage of the damage has begun to dwindle. As the media hype recedes and public attention shifts away from Tohoku to the Fukushima nuclear reactor and other global issues, what we remember is a strong Japanese community coming together in the wake of a horrific disaster. In the minds of many, this tragedy has become a thing of the past, but there is in fact much left to be addressed.” The Mahaney Center for the Arts is located at 72 Porter Field Road in Middlebury, just off Route 30 south. The Robert A. Jones ’59 House is located at 148 Hillcrest Road in Middlebury, on the main College campus.

MIDDLEBURY — One year after the devastating earthquake that struck Japan, Middlebury College students, faculty, and staff will reflect on the anniversary with a series of cultural events, including theatrical readings, guest speakers, and a faculty panel discussion. The events, to be held through April 5, will also raise funds for the ongoing relief efforts halfway around the globe. The kickoff event will be “Shinsai: Theaters for Japan,” an afternoon of staged readings presented by Middlebury College’s Theatre Program and Potomac Theatre Project. Shinsai (pronounced SHEENsigh) means great quake in Japanese. This nationwide event was initiated by Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for the American theatre. Dozens of theatre organizations across America performed a menu of tenminute plays and songs on March 11. Many major American and Japanese artists. have donated their work for this one-day only event. The Middlebury Shinsai will include works by playwrights Naomi Iisuka, Toshiki Okada, Richard Greenberg, Doug Wright, Edward Albee, Stephen Sondheim, and Tony Kushner/Jeanine Tesori. Among the Middlebury participants are directors Richard Romagnoli, Charles Giardina ’12, Tara Giordano ’02, Cheryl Faraone, and actors Jay Dunn ’00.5, Giordano, Mari Vial-Golden ’14, Christo

Those school choice devils An evil plot is afoot to pressure the states to adopt “school choice schemes”, according to onetime Rutland Northeast Superintendent Dr. William J. Mathis. He is currently a Shumlin appointee to the Vermont State Board of Education and Managing Director of the grandly-named “National Education Policy Center” at the University of Colorado. According to Mathis’s article “School Choice: What the Research Shows”, the centerpiece of the plot is the Obama administration’s pressure on states to create charter schools. Vermont is one of 13 states that do not authorize public charter schools, thanks to the surprisingly determined opposition of Gov. Howard Dean and, naturally, the Vermont-NEA teachers’ union. The idea is not popular with the public school establishment either, since allowing parents to choose charter schools for their children threatens an exodus from poorly-performing traditional schools that their management may find it hard to explain when asking taxpayers for more money. It’s not just the Obama administration, either. Mathis states that “Vested interest think tanks, heavily supported by the deep-pockets of the Gates, Broad, and Friedman foundations” are also “major pushers” (as if parental choice is some kind of narcotic.) One has to wonder how think tanks can become “vested interests”, when none of them can receive any financial ben-

efit from increased parental choice. The real vested interests in education are people whose livelihood depends on the government continuing to deliver students and money, for instance, Rutland Northeast Superintendents. In any case, Mathis has well earned the dubious accolade of being Vermont’s most persistent and extravagant opponent of giving parents more educational choices for their children. His opposition flows from a deeply-held ideology derived from the well-known socialist of the 1920s, John Dewey: “the purpose of education is a democratic society.” For Mathis, that translates into a government-operated monopoly school system, managed by far-seeing and certified experts, into whose unionized schools parents are required to consign their children, and for which taxpayers are required to pay whatever is deemed necessary. Without this common education requirement, Mathis believes, parents will too often make ill-informed educational choices that appear to them better for their children, with no concern for the democratic ideal. And that’s not democratic! In his commentary Mathis declares that “the legitimate peer reviewed research shows that in general there isn’t any difference in test scores” between students in traditional public schools and choice programs. This is true only if one accepts Mathis’s condition that “so-called ‘research’ by groups advancing or opposing choice” are disqualified. Last year Dr. Greg Forster (PhD Yale) published a report summarizing all ten empirical studies that used random assignment, the gold standard of social science, to examine how vouchers affect participants. Nine studies found that vouchers improve student outcomes, six that all students benefit, and three that some benefit and some are not affected. One study found no visible impact. None of these studies found a negative impact. Forster also found, from surveying all of 19 additional
studies, that vouchers improve outcomes for both participants and students in “voucher threatened” public schools, which were forced to improve to prevent an outflow of students to competing schools. The Forster report was published by the Foundation for Educational Choice, and the author clearly is enthusiastic about parental choice. For Mathis, that disqualifies his findings. But Forster examined all of the published studies on these subjects. If Mathis can disqualify them all for reaching pro-choice conclusions, there aren’t any studies left. There was a time, in the last century, when the dominant opinion was: let every kid go to public school, let local school boards manage them to produce self-sufficient young citizens, fend off know-it-all-mandates from experts in the state capitol, and spend what local taxpayers could reasonably afford. What has changed? The progressive centralization of control over public schools. The rise of combative, politically powerful teachers unions. Content-challenged teachers. Lower academic standards. Foolish, trendy curricula. The replacement of anything resembling the community’s moral values with behavior modification and political correctness. Deteriorating discipline and safety. Many Vermont public schools still perform well in spite of these changed conditions. Many educated Vermont public school teachers give full value. But taken all in all, mandating that every student attend the government’s school of choice for the benefit of the school will no longer work to the benefit of many students, or of society. As no less than President Obama said, about health insurance, “My guiding principle is, and always has been, that consumers do better when there is choice and competition.” That’s equally true in education, and we need to get on with empowering those consumers. John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute.
