Mrs. VT ’12 says farewell as reign ends
Police issue fraud alert NEW HAVEN — Vermont State Police in Addison County are working with several law enforcement agencies in California investigating numerous recent reports of fraud. The ongoing investigation does not suggest that the recent cases are linked. Trends in the case have been telephone calls or Internet orders to rural businesses around Addison County where an order is made and money is exchanged. In some cases, purchases are being bought with stolen credit cards, and other cases businesses are swindled into sending money to the offenders via MoneyGram or Western Union to California. The Vermont State Police caution community members about the dangers of sending any amount of money to an unknown source. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Vermont State Police at 802-388-4919. Information can also be submitted anonymously online at www.vtips.info or text CRIMES (274637) to keyword VTIPS.

Her last official function was a visit to the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce's Rutland Business Show, held at the Holiday Inn, March 12. There, gracious as ever, Felkl chatted with local business owners and inquisitive attendees. Felkl, a two time state pageant title holder, is a native Vermonter . While she has pursued a career far and wide, she remains close to the place where she grew up. “I was born and raised with my sister, Eileen, in Vermont.” she said. “My father, Richard, was a contractor, and my mother, Mary, was a dedicated housewife.” Mrs. Vermont grew up in Sudbury where she and her husband, Peter, settled with their two sons, Jared and Drake. Like many Vermont women, Felkl is an outdoors person; she doesn't let her gender and grace interfere with hunting, fishing, and camping pursuits.

PROCTORSVILLE — On Aug. 28, 2011, Gethsemane Episcopal Church in Proctorsville was listed off its foundation by the forces of Tropical Storm Irene. The parish hall was completely destroyed by the storm. After a Herculean effort by the church community, lead by Church Warden Mary Springer, the church was restored and a new parish center was constructed just in time for Easter. The symbolism of the effort is not without notice among parishioners. last week, dozens of parishioners, community members, neighbors and friends gather to celebrate the rebuilding of the church and the resilience of the community. The service was lead by Rev. Richard Bower of Gethsemane, and accompanied by Pastor Ken White, whose Methodist Church welcomed the Gethsemane community to share their church during the rebuilding. The ceremony included testimony from several community members: George Timko of Crow s Corner Bakery shared his
of St. James Methodist Church which opened its doors, moved its service time, and welcomed Gethsemane to its community to share in worship and fellowship during the long months it took to rebuild the church and parish hall. The two pastors shared services, the Gethsemane organist played with the pastor of the Methodist Church, and a common coffee hour were among the community building efforts that came out of the storm. Finally, Gethsemane leaders designed their new parish center with an eye towards community events. Long the go-to venue for everything from film series to community gardens, they are already designing future programs for community attendance. Sunday, March 31, at 4:30 p.m., a new concert series."Raise the Roof," will feature singer and keyboard player Jamie Ward. He will be joined by Sayon Camara of Guinea, West Africa. The two talented musicians have collaborated before, blending Ward's jazzy bluesy style with Camara's vibrant drumming. Gethsemane Church is a community of followers of Jesus within the customs of
the Episcopal Church and the historic Anglican tradition. Church doors are open to all, no matter what race, color, gender or sexual orientation, and those who want to be on the journey of life with us. Worship services are held each Sunday at 9:30 a.m., 89 Depot St., in Proctorsville. A coffee hour follows. For more information, contact Mary Springer, 4847431.

eye witness account of the devastation of the church, and also how one of the first donations his bakery received came from the church, a long time neighbor, who in spite of its own flood tragedy, immediately reached out to others who were impacted. Martha Benoit, a resident of Cavendish, whose home was undermined and who lived with neighbors and then in a camper for months while waiting for a new foundation to be built, spoke too of receiving a financial donation and a gas card from Gethsemane in the early days after the storm. She joked that they were landlocked, and unable to use the gas card for a while. Terry McNamara, next door neighbor of the church, spoke of Gethsemane s kindness and concern for her family and home. She had witnessed their parish hall destroyed, and their piano washed into her back yard. She reminded churchgoers of a single cross that landed upright, precarious but strong, on a piece of furniture, and related this to the church s strength and acts of kindness and solidarity around town. Many of those who attended the service were members

More on the gas tax
F
or decades, Vermonters have been told to drive less and purchase more economical, fuel-efficient vehicles. Apparently, we’ve been following the commands of political and socio-eco leaders; we’re doing better in our part to reduce the use of imported fossil fuels. Now, here comes all the positive feedback from our leaders threats of a higher state fuel tax. Montpelier wants a two-percent increase in the fuel tax on top of the current 19-cent tax. Legislators tell us that fuel taxes must be increased because roads and bridges aka “transportation infrastructure” need work. We wouldn’t want our bridges to crumble into concrete dust, would we? No, of course not. Supporting “transportation infrastructure” is all well and good save for the fact that our in-place auto- and truck-related taxes, as well as various registration/license fees (a kinder, gentler term for yet more taxes), are supposed to take of infrastructure repairs, etc., right? Let’s not probe too deeply to learn where all that money has gone in the recent past. We know transportation funds have been raided to fund various state entitlements, right? So, why isn’t Montpelier interested in discussing this? Why do we the people have to make up for past sins cast by our elected officials? There’s nothing to see here, folks, move along. Ignore the folks behind the state room curtain. Windsor County Rep. Mollie Burke (D) was quoted this week saying that it is nearly certain more fuel taxes are coming. “Eventually, you’re going to have to spend the money,” the Progressive Democrat told a Brattleboro Reformer news reporter. “I think a lot of people who are opposedto taxes in general can swallow a gas tax, because they know it’s going toward a dedicated fund.” Aside from the presumption of what taxpayers’ can “swallow”, Rep. Burke’s hubris is priceless. Have any members of her state transportation committee asked the voters what we think about a new, two-percent tax? Last time we looked, ours was a representative democracy. I don’t recall this idea being floated at Town Meeting. But we sure got our ear full with the evils of “tar sands” lecture March 4-5. Let’s think outside the box, since our legislators appear incapable of doing so. Are there other ways to fund Vermont’s fund transportation infrastructure without adding another tax, another burden on working (and non-working) Vermonters? We’re already paying a steep 19-cent tax on gasoline; do we really want to add another 7 cents to our refueling bill, thus bringing the total state tax to 26 cents? Plus a beverage tax? Plus... what other state and local taxes are lurking in the shadows? Ouch. Another concern: Whatever happened to the 19-cent ceiling on Vermont’s gas tax? Seems there’s a loophole in the ceiling after all, the law that says state gas taxes can’t fall below 6.7 cents which apparently permits wiggle room for the proposed increase. Talking about Montpelier ’s lust for taxes is all so maddening, it’s no wonder many average Vermonters have tuned out, and dropped out, of a process they no longer feel icares to involve them. If only we could get Vermont’s vocal and politically active Second Amendment advocates to care as deeply about the other side of the constitutional issue coin, namely, the worrisome issue of Montpelier ’s increasing taxation without much representation.

Optimism is a gift
I
worry at times about using this column too often to complain about a variety of topics that, seem to me, have our country going in the wrong direction. In expressing an opinion, my goal is to offer an issue of concern and provide an optimistic alternative. Optimism, like sunlight, creates growth. Americans have always thrived on an optimistic vision of our future. No matter what disappointments, failures or challenges we faced in the past, we knew that if we work hard, stay focused and press forward we can turn the tide for the better. It’s this very sense of American optimism that attracts so many to our shores. It’s the one intangible asset that Americans sometimes take for granted. Our past is full of failures, but history confirms that from our perseverance we’ve grown from the opportunity and found a constructive way to use the failure to better our nation. Perseverance takes discipline and with a never-say-die attitude, our nation and her people have found creative ways to correct the errors, and chart a course that has made us the envy of the world. With optimism, citizens must recognize that it’s within their reach to accomplish anything they choose. For more than 200 years, American immigrants wanted nothing more than the freedom to pursue their dreams and faith and make a better life for their children and themselves. With that thought in mind, I was surprised last week when Scott Rasmussen, the man behind the Rasmussen Surveys, warned us in his weekly column to beware of the new elites who are rewriting the rule book, so that special privilege takes the place of hard work. “The United States is supposed to be a land of opportunity where everyone can pursue their dreams,” he wrote. “But those on top today are busy rewriting the rules to limit entry into their club.” Rasmussen quotes Megan McArdle, who calls them the new mandarins and they think they know what’s best for the rest of us. As a pollster who constantly has his finger on the pulse of the population, Rasmussen is in a position to foresee changes in public opinion that foretell a shift in public attitude. As Americans, we’ve always had an independent spirit. We need leaders who
share those views, leaders who encourage optimism, hard work and farreaching dreams. If we ever Dan Alexander reach the Thoughts from point Behind the Pressline where we give up our dreams and allow others to dictate our future, we will have relinquished the very core of our being and the concept that our nation was built upon. In Patrick Henry’s speech in 1775 in front of patriots like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, he convinced the Virginia House of Burgesses to pass a resolution to deliver Virginia troops to join the Revolutionary War when he said, “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” The vision for this nation and the great experiment in freedom was unique in that era. One needs to understand and appreciate how truly revolutionary this bold move was and continues to be even in this age. We must constantly be on guard to insure that we never allow our freedoms to be eroded. Our Forefathers understood what they were fighting for and we must never allow that fiery, independent spirit to be extinguished. As we’ve benefited from the generations that came before us, we too must honor the commitment to liberty that we owe to those who come long after us. Our lineage is their inheritance and the union we secure today will preserve the promise and the optimism they will enjoy for generations to come. We need to look no further than the mirror when we ask ourselves, “Will the next generation be better off than we are today?“ If the answer is no, then we’ve got work to do and we better get down now while the opportunity still exists.

Brakes for Food feeds local families By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com
MIDDLEBURY ― When Steve Dupoise of County Tire heard about the Brakes for Food Drive program, he wanted his business,―the oldest locally owned tire shop in Addison County―to be a part of it. The Vermont food-drive program involves auto-repair businesses collecting food, raising awareness, while giving their customers a value-added break―er, brakes, so to speak. All food collected by County Tire during the Brake for Food Drive is targeted for local families. The food was donated to HOPE―Helping Overcome Poverty's Effects―a non-profit community action group based in Addison County. HOPE, in turn, helps local residents obtain food, clothing, housing, heat, medicine, work related needs, and more. “I first heard about Brakes for Food on the radio,” Dupoise said. “There was an auto-repair business in Burlington doing it and I got a hold of my supplier at Burlington Foreign Car Parts and said I wanted be involved. We started Feb. 1 and wrapped up March 8. Our customers were very enthusiastic and helped make this effort a big success. I also sincerely thank the crew at radio station WVTK, 92.1 F.M., for helping us with free advertising.” The idea behind Brakes for Food is for customers to each bring in 10 non-perishable food items and in exchange receive a free brake inspection. If the customer's needed brakes
from there, the brake pads were free and County Tire knocked a half hour off the labor cost (a brake job, with new pads and rotors, usually takes 90 minutes). “The customer paid for the rotors and the brake pads were free,” Dupoise said. “Of course we give a lot back to the community throughout the year, but Brakes for Food seemed like a win-win situation. February is a hard time for people in need of food and it's a slow time for us.” According to Dupoise, the business collected 700 pounds of food for the drive from 40 customers eager to help and get a free brake inspection. He said there were other half a dozen customers who didn't need brakes and just wanted to help. “My wife Lisa and I loaded our Chrysler Caravan; it's loaded down with food,” he said. “We drove the van to HOPE and Executive Director Jeanne Montross and her staff helped us unload the boxes.” According to Lisa Dupoise, the Brakes for Food Drive is something the business felt especially good about. “It brought the business and customers together for a good cause,” she said.

Colonial Africa, professor topic of lecture By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY ― For over a century, the African continent was a prize pizza cut into dozens of slices claimed by European empires. The legacy of that 19th century conquest is still fodder for many an academic lecture. A new look at colonial Africa will be presented Thursday, March 21, at 7 p.m., by Dr. William Hart, Associate Professor of American History at Middlebury College will present a talk on “I am a man”: Martin Henry Freeman, Middlebury College, and the Problem of African Colonization. When asked in 1864 why he was accepting a teaching position at Liberia College in Monrovia, Liberia, Martin Henry Freeman (Middlebury College, Class of 1849) replied, “because emigration to Liberia is the only way by which the Negro of the U. S. can rise to the full status of manhood. I am a man.” Freeman, a native of Rutland, offered these words during the midst of the Civil War. Since 1850, Freeman had lived in Pittsburgh, teaching and presiding at a black college, and imbibing black-nationalist thought. However, the seeds of colonization were implanted in him during his years at Middlebury College
Dr. William Hart (1845–49). The discourse over slavery at the college and in Middlebury conveyed subliminal messages of difference to Freeman that led him to search for an ideological and physical home away from
mainstream American society. Dr. Hart's talk will explore why this native son of Vermont made this life changing decision to move to another continent in search of freedom.

Gov. Peter Shumlin joins state and local leaders to help cut the ribbon at Keith's II located at the former Rutland Armory on West Street.
RUTLAND — The ribbon was cut at a “new “retail and manufacturing center located at 15 West St. in Rutland. Actually, the “new” center isn't that new—it's a familiar space that's being reused with a new mission. The old Rutland Armory has been transformed into the city's newest hub for business activity. To help celebrate the transition was Gov. Peter Shumlin. Shumlin helped cut the ribbon at Keith's II, an art manufacturing and retail operation. Boasting the best in energy efficiency and electronic infrastructure, the historic lines of the old armory remain intact. Keith's II held an open house at the new site and are welcoming visitors all this month. Residents can drop by and check out Keith’s retail space and pick up a free t-shirt with a purchase, while supplies last. In addition to the governor, the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting celebration was attended by several members of the Vermont Legislature and Rutland City Mayor Chris Louras.

Brooklyn man arrested RUTLAND – It wasn't the first time a person with ties to Brooklyn, N.Y., was arrested for drug-related charges in Rutland City; it probably won't be the last time either. On March 1, Vermont State Police executed a drug-related search warrant at a residence located on Park Street. When police made entry into the apartment, two men fled outside through a back door, but were apprehended. One of the men verbally identified himself to police as "Jason Williams". The search warrant yielded a large quantity of heroin, crack cocaine, and U.S. currency. Williams was later transported to the Vermont State Police barracks in Rutland for identification purposes. After obtaining his fingerprints,VSP officers identified Justin Baylon Blake, 29, of Brooklyn, N.Y. Blake was later released on a criminal citation and is scheduled to appear in Rutland Superior Court Criminal Division on April 15.

Mrs. Vermont from page 1 Peter and Melissa met and fell in love in high school. The couple has been married for 16 years and never had second thoughts about making a lifetime commitment to each other. So, what's the secret to their successful marriage? Mrs. Vermont said that having a life plan in place before tying the knot is essential to a successful relationship. “We agreed to share all responsibilities equally, including parenting duties and responsibilities,” she states on her Mrs. Vermont website. As a former fashion model, as well as director of education at the prestigious Barbizon School, the outgoing Mrs. Vermont doesn't rest on the laurels of her natural beauty. Like most modern professional women, Felkl is a serious minded person with a drive to succeed. She has a college degree in business management and divides her time between being a beauty consultant as well as a full-time legal assistant in a Vermont law firm. Being Mrs. Vermont has helped her expand personal and professional horizons; she has traveled around the state to meet a variety of people. “A few years ago, I met a single mother who was in extreme need of putting food on the table. I realized then that my role, not just as Mrs. Vermont but as a fellow human being, had to play a bigger part in soling this problem,” she told the Eagle. Felkl's personal commitment to hunger awareness in our state comes from the heart and personal experience. Like the single mother she will never forget, she, too, has struggled to put food on the table for her own children. “It was with faith and the generosity of my community that I was able to get through my difficult time,” she said. Felkl's website states that women should seize every opportunity—“learn from your experiences, and never give up on your dream because no one knows what the future holds.” In her year-long role as Mrs. Vermont, Felkl encouraged others to support the Vermont Food Bank, or their local food banks, by donating, volunteering or influencing governmental leaders to make alleviating hunger a big priority. Just because Felkl is passing on her crown to a new Mrs. Vermont doesn't mean she won't walk away from helping those less fortunate to succeed in life. "Never give up," remains her guiding star.
