RUTLAND — Last week’s snowstorm may have not have been the final huzzah in Vermont, but Winter 2013 is already one for the history books; it is ranked among the top 11 warmest in history. The month of February 2013 is the icing on 2013’s not-so-frosty cake, according to the National Climatic Data Center and AccuWeather.com. February is tied with February 2003 as the ninth warmest February on record, according to both sources. The record is comprised of combined land and ocean surface temperatures with the data stream going back to 1880. Added to the weather record book is the fact that February was the 336th month in a row—that’s a total of 28 years—in which the planetary temperature topped the 20th-century average temperature. By the way, the period of December 2012 to February 2013 was the 12th warmest period on record in Vermont, according to AccuWeather. Other February 2013 facts: it was the eleventh warmest February in the lower troposphere (the layer of the air closest to the CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

From the Editor

Over the mountain from here

first met the old man in Granville, over the mountain, in southeast Addison County’s Lost Quarter. I say Addison County’s Lost Quarter because when you’re over the mountain, somewhere off Route 125 along Route 100 in the shady reaches of the rocky Granville Gulf, you don’t feel like you’re a part of Addison County anymore. Geography, even in 21st century Vermont, can create a sense of profound isolation. We’ll call the old man Thomas because he doesn’t want his real name to appear in print, although—as Thomas said—most folks who know him will recognize him immediately. Thomas grew up in Granville. There, he’s spent all of his 97 years Ò over the mountainÓ in the Lost Quarter. Thomas celebrated his most recent birthday in November. He doesn’t think about it because he expects to live well past 100. Ò I never learned to drive,Ó Thomas said. “In the old days, we walked everywhere or thumbed a ride. It was never a problem getting around. It was easy to get a ride to Rochester. As a young man, I’d go down there with a friend to the Saturday night dances at the Grange.Ó It’s hard to imagine that anyone living through most of the 20th century, and on into the 21st, never learned to drive an automobile. Old Thomas is happy with just staying homeÑ alone. Aside from a few friends and Jayne, a nurse neighbor who drops by to see how the old man is doing once a week, Thomas lives all by himself. His wife, Alma, died in 1992, and he’s been alone ever since. “No, I don’t get lonely,” he told me. “There’s lots to do around the house. I have my chores. I like to read the newspapers and magazines.” Friends bring Thomas food and reading material. He doesn’t like to read books. Instead, he prefers perusing periodicals, the Ò funny pagesÓ and sporting news. His house is located at the end of a dirt road that ascends, at least part way, the steep eastern slope of a rise he calls Ò the Hill.Ó The area is known as “Kortright Hill.” Judging by its steep terrain, the place looks more like a mountain. Thomas was born at home in 1915. There was no trip to the hospital for his rugged, pioneer mother. She gave birth at home, in the flickering shadows of a second-floor bedroom lit by a burning kerosene lamp. She had a midwife in tow who made sure everything went well. Thomas was his parents’ only child, although he had plenty of cousins and school mates to play with during his happy childhood.

WhatÕ s the greatest thing to happen during your lifetime? Ò The ice box,Ó Thomas said. Thomas never wanders too far from the kitchen, which looks frozen in time, maybe 1968 or so, with its avocado-tinted Frigidaire and Admiral propane-gas cooking range. Even the old Sunbeam bread toaster on the counter, covered with scorch marks and grease, looks like it belongs in a domestic appliance museum. They were appliances built to last. Shortly after Alma passed away, Thomas withdrew from the outside world. He didn’t see the need to get around too much. Besides, walking the long distances he was used to all those years ago became too much for an older man. In time, he became what we consider a recluse. “Hell, I ain’t no hermit,” he told me, challenging my use of the word. Ò I got everything I need, right here. So who needs to go anywhere?Ó He’s right in a way. Who needs to travel or acquire lots of fancy stuff when you’ve found a pot of simple gold at home? And thanks to the good Christian hearts of a few friends and neighbors like Jayne, Thomas can continue to feel safe and secure at home without leaving. Together, we looked at some old, faded photographs of Thomas and Alma. The childless couple made a hardscrabble living by doing various jobs—taking in wash and mending, harvesting and selling firewood, maple sugaring, picking and selling wild blueberries, and potato farming. In one photo, Thomas is bent over a vat of steaming maple sap. The sugarhouse must have been somewhere else because I saw no evidence of it within eyeshot of his house. In another image, Alma is sitting on a ladder-back chair on the vanished porch with a ceramic bowl resting in her lap. Maybe it was filled with blueberries. It’s hard to tell. I said goodbye to Thomas and promised to visit him again soonÑ and bring along more newspapersÑ when the weather improved with the coming of spring. Then he could give me an outside tour of his little homestead. “You take care,” I said as I opened the door to my car. Ò You betcha,Ó he replied from his teetering perch on the front step. Will I live so long? Could I ever find such simple happiness within the confines of my four walls? I had a lot to think about on my long drive back over the Green Mountains, to another side of Vermont. Lou Varricchio

Holy Days still relevant

here seems to be so much head shaking craziness all around us these days. From senseless shootings and violence, out of control politics, over the top excesses that challenge others to push the envelope to even further extremes, to worries about unmanned drones flying overhead and home appliances spying and sharing valuable personal information. So many of today’s modern creations boggle the mind, even from just a short while back in time. But are we using them for the betterment of our society or are they becoming the catalyst that drive us to these wild extreme measures? I can remember a time not long ago when life was slower and it seemed as though the majority of the country shared similar values. Collectively the nation knew right from wrong and in doing so kept us focused on life’s daily challenges, family and a shared sense of community. These values are still on display today but we also know that many among us are afraid to speak out and express their views for fear of retaliation or humiliation. As a nation we’ve become more driven by a vocal minority then a silent majority. The computing power of today’s cheapest smart phone far exceeds the computing power used by the NASA space capsule that first put man on the Moon. It seems the power and capabilities of these little devices are increasing so rapidly one has to wonder where it will lead. And are these technological marvels becoming too smart and too controlling over our lives? Technology and its inventions can be a distraction that changes the focus of human purpose. I’m concerned that many of the problems facing society today are driven by a material belief that is placing greater faith in human self reliance than placing our trust in God, the true creator and supreme being. As we prepare for the celebrations of Passover and Easter, once again we see government entities opting for political correctness by removing the word Easter from traditional celebrations in schools and communities. They claim to be doing so out of fear of offending but in reality it is fear of lawsuits by a small but vocal minority. Like Christmas, Easter has become increasingly commercialized. But by removing the true meaning, we allow the holiday to become nothing more than a Hallmark event.

We no longer collectively look for divine support and no longer speak out when obvious actions erode Dan Alexander the origins Thoughts from of our nation Behind the Pressline built on the freedoms endowed by our creator. I wonder if in time, as technology expands and we become more and more reliant on technology, will it be used wisely? Can we maintain control over the information or will it be used to negatively affect society? I also wonder if something as remarkable as the smart phone is becoming the golden idol of choice in society today? Are we becoming seduced by its capabilities, its dynamic intelligence and vibrant display? People seem so captivated by their phones today they simply can’t put them down. The smart phone allure is so powerful it is having serious effects on both workplace productivity and personal relationships. Now don’t get me wrong, I too am a smart phone user but as this technology advances we must not let it be the central point around which our lives revolve. Personal relationships, love of family and neighbor and the recognition of our creator must remain paramount in our lives or the problems that plague our society will only grow worse. Our ability to solve interpersonal disagreements won’t happen when our mind, eyes and thumbs are focused on the cyber world, a capable distraction, but never the end all. Faith-based democracies, like the United States and Israel, are places where the freedom to practice and express ones faith has flourished and survived, because they’ve remained true to their founding origins. These are important facts to keep in mind this week as we celebrate the holy events of Passover and Easter, keeping in mind their historical relevance, which is very much still a priority in our lives today.

Beginning with the 2011-12 school year, graduation rates are now being calculated using this new method. Last week’s release follows the DOE’s release of state-level high school graduation rates in 2012, which can be found by visiting www.eddataexpress.ed.gov/.

Race cars rev up Diamond Run Mall concourse By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND Ñ If you are a motorsports fan and happened to visit the Diamond Run Mall in Rutland last weekend, you probably thought you stepped into NASCAR heaven. Local NASCAR stock car drivers, and their quirky, high-speed racing machines, were the main event at the mall for the 12th Annual Rutland Regional Race Car Show. The popular show was held on March 23-24. It put local race fans in the mood for the coming track season. While most of the stuff on display was familiar and well known to diehards of Devil’s Bowl Speedway, there was enough excitement to tempt newbies into learning more about the sport and maybe consider

a trip to the local track. As many as a dozen NASCAR Whelen All-American Series drivers and cars were on hand to represent Devil’s Bowl Speedway at the event, including Modified racers Jeff Haskins of Wells and Cody Sargen of Greenfield Center, N.Y., rookie Late Model drivers Josh Masterson of Bristol, and Seth Bridge of Mendon, and twodivision star Hunter Bates of Middlebury. To lure attendees into actually experiencing the thrill of NASCAR racing for themselves, the staff of Devil’s Bowl Speedway crewed a lively display booth which included information about the 2013 racing season—and lots more. To show its spirit of giving back to the community, the sponsors of the Rutland Regional Race Car Show provided free

admission, but attendees were encouraged to make a donation to the March For Babies charity. By all accounts, visitors were eager to show their support and made generous donations to the March of Dimes charity’s good works. Ò The Rutland Regional Race Car Show is always a great way to get your blood pumping,” Devil’s Bowl spokesman Justin St. Louis told the Eagle. Ò The Spring Green is just over a month away on May 5, and we love going to the show and starting the countdown with our fans and drivers. It’s always cool to take an up close look at the race cars. We’re really look forward to it.” Devil’s Bowl Speedway’s 2013 racing season kicks off Sunday, May 5, according to St. Louis.

From News Reports WEST HAVEN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Bond Auto Parts Modified stock car division from Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bowl Speedway will be hitting Ă&#x2019; The RoadĂ&#x201C; this year, Thunder Road International Speedbowl, that is. The Barre track has invited the dirt-style, center-seat Modifieds to compete in a 50-lap event during the 51st Annual Mekkelsen RV Memorial Day Classic on Sunday, May 26, at 1:30 p.m. The site of the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Bank Milk Bowl, Thunder Road has hosted a variety of open-wheel events throughout its history, but never with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dirt on asphaltâ&#x20AC;? Modified rules package that has been so popular at Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bowl in recent years. The race will be held as a companion event to the traditional 100-lap Late Model event at the Memo-

rial Day Classic, along with Thunder Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular Tiger Sportsman and Street Stock divisions. Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bowl Speedway drivers are excited about the creation of the Thunder Road event. Two-time defending Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bowl champion Ron Proctor will make the long haul from Charlton, N.Y., to compete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard a lot of stories about how small and tight Thunder Road is; it really makes you leery of how much contact there might be,Ă&#x201C; Proctor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But for now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all stories, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge until I race it. I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a lot of competition from Vince Quenneville, Jessey Mueller, Hunter Bates, and those guys. Since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never raced there it will be a clean slate of sorts, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping I can find the adjustments a little quicker than them because of my rac-

ing experience.Ă&#x201C; Vince Quenneville, Jr. of Brandon has never raced at Thunder Road, but the 2012 Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bowl runner-up knows all about it. Quennevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father competed there some 40 years ago, and his employer, Todd Stone, raced there with the American-Canadian Tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a Vermonter all my life, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard an awful lot about Thunder Road,Ă&#x201C; Quenneville said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know some of the guys in NASCAR today have competed there, and when guys like Robbie Crouch, Jean-Paul Cabana, the Dragons, Stub Fadden, and Ricky Craven have raced there, it excites me even more,â&#x20AC;? Quenneville said. Ă&#x2019; Todd Stone used to run an ACT Late Model, and he told me what a tough track it was to figure out. My father raced there in the 1970s with the

BRAM adds Great War artifacts to collection By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs. com LUDLOW — It was like Christmas morning at BRAM, the Black River Academy Museum in Ludlow recently. Museum staff were eager to receive a collection of rare and

unusual artifacts from World War I, the Great WarÑ the War to End All Wars. According to Anita Alic of the museum, BRAM Director Georgia Brehm and President Sue Pollender are in the process of formally incorporating the items into the museum’s permanent collection. The work on the military artifacts is being done

during the winter season, when the museum is closed. Ò The artifacts include military insignia, a first aid kit, a mess kit, helmets, including a German helmet, tin cup, canteen, shells, shell casings, buttons, an officer’s record book, a small copy of the New Testament, a gas mask and a mystery liquid containerÑ to

mention only a few,Ó Alic said. Alic said that the Ò mystery liquid containerÓ bears an inscription which places it firmly in the World War 1 timeline: Ò Souvenir of American Victory at St. Michael, Sept. 1216, 1918”. The flip side of the container beats the inscription, Ò W. H. Lamere, Ludlow, VtÓ . “If anyone knows what this

artifact is and has more information about the identify of W. H. Lamere, please contact the museum,Ó Alic noted. Ò t is not even know if this is a German, American or French container and what is its true function and its provenance.Ó Alic noted that various local residents made contributions to the museum’s Great War collection: Lillian Davidson, Frank Hall, Tom Murphy, as well as William and Bernie Lamere. The Lamere family is the namesake for Lamere Square

in Ludlow. Davidson’s donations included Ò souvenirs of the war she received from her father, Howard Ellis. Alic said when cataloged and prepared for exhibit, the artifacts will be on display for the public to see this summer. The World War I items will join other locally donated artifacts from World War II and the Cold War-eras that are already on display. The museum re-opens Saturday, June 6.

New gas tax plan clears first hurdle By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs. com MONTPELIER — Vermont State House Democrats carried the day by voting 105-37, despite rtrong Republican objections, to increase the state sales tax on gasoline, March 20. The tax will add a 4 percent increase to the price of gasoline at a time when many small businesses, and working Vermonters, are struggling to make ends meet. Debate over the increase lasted nearly the entire day March 20 with Republicans proposing various amendments. Ò Unfortunately, each amendment was voted down by the Democrat majority,Ó said House Minority leader Rep. Don Turner. The bill is now cleared for a final, formalized vote in the House within a few weeks. The tax would be phased in over two years. The new tax would be on Ò pre-taxÓ fuel. While sponsors of the bill said it would Ò lowerÓ the per gallon excise tax by 5.9 cents, the legislation actually adds to the over all cost of gasoline in Vermont.

Ludlow man driving without license LUDLOW — On March 15, Frederick Rodgers, 33, of Ludlow was arrested in the parking lot of the Irving Gas Station on Route 131 in Weathersfield for driving on a criminally suspended license. He was issued a citation to appear in Windsor County Superior Court Criminal Division at a later date.

Guest Commentary

Changing the way we teach math By Jim Callahan

Not long after I wrote my Guest Viewpoint in the Vermont Eagle, titled Ò How Will They Explain?” (March 9, 2013), I received a phone call from the Addison Central Supervisory Union Assistant Superintendent’s Office to see if I would be willing to meet with Dr. Carol Fenimore to discuss my comments in the newspaper. I am writing this Ò postscriptÓ Guest Viewpoint after returning from my visit with Dr. Fenimore. The first thing I’d like to correct is that I indicated that she was a breath of fresh air, I am sorryÑ she is the fresh air! I believe Dr. Fenimore is well aware of the challenges that await her in trying to implement the Common

Core State Standards For Mathematics for the Addison County district. We never talked about the details of my Eagle commentary, but we did discuss the fact that students are not doing very well and that it is imperative that teacher in-service training in mathematics must be accelerated and greatly improved. Training teachers in calculus to teach in the second grade may be a lofty goal, but teaching these teachers to teach second grade might be a better goal. Many teachers in the elementary level do not know how to teach the basics of mathematics. Far too many teachers are dependent upon math scripted programs, created by college professors; these professors have never taught in an elementary school (and if they did, they spent a very short time doing so) Many areas of mathematics rely on situations that have been investigated earlier. Let’s say that this is the way a second-grade teacher decides to teach the students to add numbers: “Today, I am going to give you a problem to solve.

Please add 17 + 24. How will we start? First put the larger number in your head and then count forward 17 numbers from 24 and you will have your answerÑ and it is 41.Ó Let’s move this up a few grades, I think I will pick grade five: “Today, I am going to give you a problem to solve. Please add 4, 456 + 3,897. How will we start? First put the larger number in your head and then count forward 3,897 numbers from 4,456 and you will have your answer. You were how old when you started this problem?Ó Doing mathematical situations in the early part of learning must be able to be used in the later stages. Oh, some things look cute in kindergarten, as well as first and second grades, but it makes the third, fourth and fifth almost impossible. Adding is the joining of two or more Ò addendsÓ together to create total or sum. Counting nothing gets you nothing. We have a number system for a reason. It works very well. Many programs take our sys-

Rutland-area students test new med gear By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — Tomorrow’s future health care professionals are learning the ropes in Rutland. The Stafford Technical Center’s Health Careers Program was recently awarded an education grant of $750 from the Rutland South Rotary Club. The grant was awarded for the purchase of new medical equipment that will serve as teaching tools for students enrolled in the popular program. Among the items purchased included training stethoscopes used to instruct students about monitoring blood pressures. Students demonstrated the stethoscope to Nancy Cristelli, president of the Rutland South Rotary Club. Rutland South Rotary Club’s mission is to provide support to the schools in the greater Rutland region.

tem and change it to nothing but trash. Our number system took thousands of years to be developed; it only takes a few academic loons with impractical ideas to destroy it. We have a base 10 number system. It is similar to our system of coins. For example, a dime has been assigned the value of 10 pennies (10 cents). We do not make a dime from 10 pennies, nor do we make 10 pennies from a dime. This system is a value system just like the base 10 system. One ten is not ten ones, but each can be exchanged for each other just like the dime and the pennies. This understanding is imperative, but it is being destroyed in many schools each and every day. This destruction has allowed most of our students to have no number sense whatsoever. I have called the Mary Hogan School in Middlebury (where I was the principal many years ago) for a copy of its Item Analysis Report. I left the message on the current principal’s telephone voice mail. The last time I did this, it took a long time before I received what data I requested. I will keep you posted about how long it will take for a response this time. Of course I realize that almost all of us have our plates running over with responsibilities. But for all of public officials, from presidents on down to school administrators, lack of transparency and failing to report public information accurately, and in a timely manner, is always the wrong path to take. Vermont’s public schools are doing an extremely poor job of teaching mathematics; we can only correct this situation with honest reporting of the facts first, and quality in-service teacher training second. From where I sit, I don’t think teachers are the fault; most teachers do what they are told. So as taxpayers, as voters, as parents, and as concerned Vermonters, we need to get at the officials who are doing the telling to our teachers. One of those officials who did the “telling” in the ACSU is gone, thank God. I, for one, can only hope for your success, Dr. Fenimore. EditorÕ s note: Jim Callahan, of Middlebury, is a math consultant with area schools. He is the former principal of the Mary Hogan Elementary School in Middlebury.

Neshobe PTO engages the community

Neshobe PTO members Faith Claessens and Kelly McCullough sell salsa and T-shirts in the lobby of the Neshobe Elementary School during Town Meeting March 5. The PTO’s 75 members help raise needed funds for enriching activities for students and staff at the Brandon school. Photo by Lou Varricchio

BRANDON Ñ PTOsÑ short for Parent Teacher Organizations—are frequently the lifelines between parents and teachers at Vermont public schools. In the case of the Neshobe PTO, affiliated with the Neshobe Elementary School in Brandon, the parent-teacher group is an active participant in the day-to-day activities at the school, especially for fundraising for educational activities for students and school staffers. Perhaps the strongest contributions parents make to the school is in fundraising. Ò In order to accomplish our goals, we have a variety of fundraisers throughout the year,” according to Kelly McCullough, Neshobe PTP president. Ò Fundraiser activities help provide money for playground maintenance and upgrades, classroom needs, field trips, and moreÓ One of the Neshobe PTO’s recent successes has been the marketing of its tasty “brandedÓ salsas. The PTO’s salsa sales, which began three years ago, demonstrate that a savvy parentteacher group can create lots of community good will, good food, and needed funds when members work together. Neshobe PTO’s 75 members frequently put on their thinking caps and generate creative ways to generate needed funds for the rural school. According to PTO Secretary Faith Claessens, Ò Neshobe PTO SalsaÓ is produced by Rutland County-based food producer Granny Blossom Specialty Foods. This salsa line, sold with Neshobe PTO labels, is all non-profit. The PTO line of salsas include roasted garlic, cran-

She has a sixth grader at Neshobe and junior at Otter Valley. Aside from salsa and T-shirt sales, the PTO will be working with Price Chopper Supermarket in the Tools for Schools program. The fundraising drive starts in July and ends in March. You can register your Price Chopper Advantage Card starting this July so that Neshobe School earns points from your purchases. These points can be redeemed by

the school for items it needs. Remember, it takes money to run a modern school and not all taxpayer funding of Vermont’s rural schools can do the complete job. So, PTOs like Neshobe’s can help make up some of the shortfall. Ò We appreciate the community’s support of all our fundraisers,” McCullough said. “If you are interested in helping in any capacity, please let us know. You can make a difference at Neshobe.Ó Check It Out: To order Neshobe PTO Salsa or to help in any way, visit the PTO online at www.neshobepto.com or visit the PTO’s Facebook page.
