It’s a mixed bag They call it ‘Mellow Yellow’ Vermont State Sen. Bill Doyle released the results of his annual Town Meeting Day Survey, March 29. The popular survey, which gauges opinions about political and infrastructure issues of the moment, is now in its forty-first year. Doyle said that the strongest support in the history of his survey related to the survey question, “Should drivers be prohibited from texting while driving?” Ninety-six percent said yes, three percent said no and one percent was not sure, according to Doyle. No question during the history of the survey ever recorded 96 percent approval. There was strong support for prohibiting cellular telephones while driving. Seventy-four percent said yes, 20 percent said no, and 6 percent were not sure. This was approximately the same results when the question was asked last year. The greatest change from last year ’s result was whether Vermont’s Yankee Nuclear Power Plant should be renewed in 2012. This year, 31 percent said yes, 52 percent said no, and 17 percent were not sure. Last year ’s Yankee result was 40 percent said yes, 37 percent said no, and 23 percent were not sure. The respondents to the survey gave strong support to statewide cellular telephone service and broadband and that locally grown food was an important part of Vermont’s economic future. Fifty-three percent of the respondents said that President Obama was doing a good job, 32 percent said no, and 15 percent were undecided. Most Vermonters did not think U.S. federal stimulus funds have been well-spent. Vermonters were concerned about the cost of local schools and did not say Vermont is an affordable place in which to live. Vermonters thought Vermont’s prison population should be reduced through alternatives. Forty-one percent of Vermonters were satisfied with their health insurance costs.
CVU seniors—please apply! Lions $1,000 scholarship By Margery Sharp newmarketpress@denpubs.com HINESBURG—The Hinesburg Lions Club will offer a scholarship of $1,000 to any high school senior who is a full time resident of Hinesburg and will graduate from high school in June and plans to continue his or her studies beyond high school either with college or technical school training. Hinesburg seniors at Champlain Valley Union High School (CVU) may obtain an application for the scholarship from Jane Krasnow or Julie Dimmock at the high school. If not a CVU student any Hinesburg high school senior may contact Lion Sam Collins at 482-2152 or on e-mail at bpmjec@aol.com or Lion Margery Sharp at 482-2651 or margesharp@gmavt.net. to receive an application. Deadline to get the application in is May 1.
Smokin’! Mellow Yellow in concert at the Vergennes Opera House, April 16. VERGENNES—The Vergennes Opera House and the Burlington band, Mellow Yellow are teaming up to create the ultimate Sixties Flashback Party. The doors open at 8 p.m., Friday, April 16, at the Opera House, 120 Main Street in Vergennes. The event features live music, an authentic psychedelic light show and even go-go dancers. In addition, there will be a costume contest with prizes for the most outrageous sixties outfits, so guests are encouraged to “let it all hang out”.
Mellow Yellow is quickly gaining a reputation as the most authentic sounding, and looking, sixties tribute band anywhere. "Not only is the band tight, but the songs they play captivate you”, said Lynn Mason, director of the Rotary Concert Series. “Their outfits quickly put you into a wonderful mood of 'where was I when that song came out.' They are a not to miss performance." While their repertoire includes wellknown radio hits from artists like the Beatles, the Monkees, Tommy James, the Supremes and the Grass Roots, they also
choose songs that embody the creative spirit of the era. According to Ken French, who plays guitar, keyboards and sings in the band, “We look for songs that really pushed the creative envelope, songs like ‘I am the Walrus’ or ‘Itchykoo Park’ and then we take the song apart and recreate every sound in detail. It’s a lot of fun!” This is an all-ages event. Tickets are $8 and are available at Vergennes Opera House or Classic Stitching, Main St., Vergennes; also at Viva Espresso, 197 N.Winooski Ave., Burlington.
Crews to begin water, sewer work at night MIDDLEBURY—Construction crews in downtown Middlebury will begin work on water sewer mains Friday, 11 p.m. to Saturdays 7 a.m. until complete. Town Manager Bill Finger estimated the completion date to be on or around May 7. The night work will occur along Bakery Lane and adjacent parking lots. Water and sewer mains that traverse the lane need to relocated and replaced to make way for the new Cross Street
Bridge scheduled to open in September. The work will take place at night, according to Finger, in an effort to minimize adverse impacts on parking, traffic and local commerce. Construction noise has an impact at night on nearby residents on both sides of Otter Creek, according to Finger. “We have asked Engineer ’s Construction, Inc. to direct night lighting away from residences as much as pos-
sible and to minimize vehicle and equipment,” Finger said as part of a public notice last week. “Unfortunately, the ‘beep-beep’ of (vehicular) back-up alarms, that many folks find most annoying, is required by federal and state safety regulations.” The town, Phelps Engineering, and ECI are working together to get this phase of the project completed as soon as possible, Finger added.

Robinson students tackle Odyssey challenge By Alice Dubenetsky newmarketpress@denpubs.com STARKSBORO—Two teams of students from Robinson Elementary School participated in this year ’s Odyssey of the Mind competition at Champlain Valley Union High School earlier this month. Odyssey of the Mind is an international education pro-
gram that encourages children to learn creative problem solving methods and rewards them for thinking “divergently”. Students work in groups of up to seven per team, and choose from a menu of problems they must work to solve cooperatively. The teams present the problem they have selected and the solution they have devised in an eight-minute skit at regional competi-
tions. The two Robinson teams placed third and fifth for their projects. The third place winners chose a challenge “Food Court”, wherein the team had to accuse and defend a claim about a food. In their skit, a rainbow trout (Caroline McArdle) was accused of causing bleeding eye disease. Her accuser was a carrot (Danielle Bachand) who claimed her uncle was con-

Ranch trailer fire suspect is Orwell teen Between the dates of March 14 and March 28, Vermont State Police troopers have been conducting an investigation into a suspicious fire that occurred in a Pond Hill Ranch trailer at the Shoreham Service Center in Shoreham. On the morning of March 14, troopers Andrew Leise and Justin Busby responded to the Shoreham Service Center to assist Shoreham
Fire Department with a commercial hay trailer fire. While assisting the hay on the trailer burned, the commercial trailer carrying the hay was damaged significantly, and an adjacent refrigerated commercial utility trailer also sustained fire damage. Damage estimates were approximately $25,000-$30,000 as reported by Bradford Truck-
Legislators approve H. 783 tax increases MONTPELIER—A majority of Vermont legislators voted to increase the tax burden on Vermont-based manufactures, farmers, and contractors by $9 million over the next two years. The House bill, known as H. 783, is titled "An Act Relating to Miscellaneous Tax Provisions"; it was passed by the Vermont House March 25 and includes new tax burdens—not tax relief—on Vermont's already struggling small business community. The vote was 92-49 in favor of H. 783 and the tax increase. Legislators who voted in favor of H. 783 and the tax hikes are as follows: Ancel, Democrat of Calais Aswad, Democrat of Burlington Atkins, Democrat of Winooski Audette, Democrat of South Burlington Bissonnette, Democrat of Winooski Bohi, Democrat of Hartford Botzow, Democrat of Pownal Branagan, Republican of Georgia Bray, Democrat of New Haven Burke, Progressive of Brattleboro Cheney, Democrat of Norwich Clarkson, Democrat of Woodstock Condon, Democrat of Colchester Conquest, Democrat of Newbury Consejo, Democrat of Sheldon Copeland-Hanzas, Democrat of Bradford Corcoran, Democrat of Bennington Courcelle, Democrat of Rutland City Crawford, Republican of Burke Deen, Democrat of Westminster Donovan, Democrat of Burlington Edwards, Progressive of Brattleboro Emmons, Democrat of Springfield Evans, Democrat of Essex Fisher, Democrat of Lincoln Frank, Democrat of Underhill French, Democrat of Shrewsbury French, Democrat of Randolph Gilbert, Democrat of Fairfax Greshin, Independent of Warren Haas, Progressive of Rochester Heath, Democrat of Westford Helm, Republican of Castleton Hooper, Democrat of Montpelier Howard, Democrat of Rutland City Howrigan, Democrat of Fairfield Jerman, Democrat of Essex Jewett, Democrat of Ripton Johnson, Democrat of South Hero Keenan, Democrat of St. Albans City Kitzmiller, Democrat of Montpelier Klein, Democrat of East Montpelier

Ironically, a majority of the state's legislators responded to the news with a "yes" vote to raise taxes impacting businesses via H. 783.
ing of Shoreham as well as Pond Hill Ranch of Castleton. Follow up investigation was conducted over the past two weeks by Senior Trooper Andrew Leise and a suspect was developed. Follow up investigation into the case indicated a 16-year-old juvenile from Orwell had been at a juvenile gathering at a residence in Shoreham on the morning of March 14. Investigation revealed that on Sunday morning, March14, the teen, along with a male friend, walked to the Shoreham Service Center in an attempt to locate discarded cigarette butts within
the parking lot area to smoke. Further investigation into the incident revealed that after picking up the discarded cigarette butts at the Shoreham Service Center and at the National Bank of Orwell across the street, the teen approached the hay trailer parked at the south end of the Shoreham Service Center parking lot, presented a lighter to the hay on the trailer and lit it. On March 27, the teen was subsequently charged with one count of Felony Arson. The juvenile was issued a citation and will be required to appear in Addison District Court on April 19.

he Canadian pulled to the side of the road past the Pryce intersection, where seconds before he had ignored and slowly rolled through a stop sign. Sheriff Marshall Buker, slowed and pulled to a quiet stop behind the Canadian, got out of his station wagon, ripped away duct tape that held the flashlight (he flicked on and off when he chased after somebody), secure on the roof above his head, flicked it on, pointed it toward the Canadian’s car, and meandered to the driver ’s door. He clicked his pointer finger ’s nail on the driver ’s window and motioned the driver to roll it down. When the window was fully down, Marshall gave a slight wave and chirped, “Hoi!” The Canadian stared at Marshall. Marshall commenced with protocol. “Can I see your license, registration, 'surance card please?” The Canadian gathered and handed Marshall the documents. Marshall shoved the flashlight into his armpit, tilted it’s beam toward the documents, and checked them. He handed them back to the driver and began. “Y, y, you got any idea why I pulled you over?” “Ah, no sir,” the Canadian said. “You didn’t stop at the stop sign back aire.” “Ah, no sir, but I slowed d … “ “You didn’t stop at the stop sign back aire.” “Ah no sir, but it’s very late, nothing was coming, so I slowed dow…” “You didn’t stop at the stop sign back aire.” “Sir, I’m not from here, and I came to the intersection, checked carefully both ways, was positively sure nothing at all was coming, so I slo…” “You didn’t stop at the stop sign back aire.” The Canadian became agitated. “Sir, you and I are the only ones up in this town tonight. If you’d listen … I came to intersection, checked carefully both ways, hand on a bible, mothers name to God, I saw that nothing at all was coming, so I slowed down and proceeded through.” The Canadian’s temper rose to the brim and he punctuated his final point by hitting the heel of his right hand on the steering wheel. “What’s the difference?” Marshall flipped his flashlight around and started rapping the flatlander over top the head, “Well, do you want me to stop? Or do you want me to slow down?” Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly. He can be reached at rustyd@pshift.com.

Light of ancient days
T
here’s a line from a 1968 Grateful Dead rock song that I think serves as the entrée to the emerging astronomical theory of dark stars: “Dark star crashes pouring its light into ashes... mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter.” “Dark Star” songwriters Robert Hunter, Jerry Garcia, et al. weren’t thinking about dark-matter stellar objects in those days; these titanic stars, powered by dark-matter annihilations at their core, were postulated only recently. However, the song lyrics conjure up mysteries such as the bizarre nature of dark stars and the “formless reflections” of dark matter. Now comes a new idea, a connection between dark stars and galactic-core black holes—but first, astronomers classify hypothetical dark stars as a subset of Population III or very early metal-free stars. To contrast, our Sun is an extant Population I metal-rich star. Population II stars, also extant, are poor in metallic elements. Now to start at the beginning of things. The early universe, astronomers theorize, began more than 13 billion years ago. Within 100 million years of the socalled Big Bang event, the first stars ignited into existence. While humans alive today never saw the light of these early stars, it is believed that they were not like the stars we know today. Today’s stars, just like ol’ Sol, are powered by thermonuclear fusion reactions in their cores. Light chemical elements are fused into heavy elements, etc. This reactive balance keeps a vast number of stars from imploding. But eventually, certain stars (not our Sun) will lose their fusion balance and—kaboom!—a stellar-core collapse follows (novae and supernovae). But 100 million years after the Big Bang, the first generation of stars didn’t use familiar fusion energy. Instead, these dark stars were fueled by dark-matter reactions—the annihilation of dark and anti-dark matter particles. (Dark-matter is composed hypothetical WIMPs, weakly interacting massive particles.) In the light of ancient days, stellar cores radiated with dense dark-matter interactions. Some astronomers now believe dark stars evolved on a titanic scale—many with diameters up to, and perhaps exceeding, 30 a.u. (1 a.u. or astronomical unit equals 93 million miles, the distance between Earth and Sun). With a diameter of 30 a.u., an average dark star would have filled the space between the Sun and the
planet Neptune! (It is likely these early stars had families of planets. So, we can only imagine what these hypothetical planets looked like.) A typical dark leviathan would have been cooler than later fusion-driven stars such as our Sun, but what they lacked in temperature, they made up for in sheer size and mass. A large, dark stellar object would have had a mass of 10,000 Suns with a luminosity of 1 billion Suns. It is staggering to the human mind to imagine such suns existing on such a vast scale. Now to the dark star and black hole connection. We now think that large dark stars eventually collapsed into giant black holes. These giant holes became the seeds around which today’s galaxies, even our Milky Way, formed. Smaller dark stars also ran out of dark matter to burn; ignited fusion fuel resulted from the final dark-matter reactions, and these suns eventually collapsed, too. Small dark stars probably left behind black holes, too. Infrared space telescopes are perfect instruments to search for dark stars of the distant past, but the task is herculean. Light from these early stars would be shifted to the far-infrared, so NASA’s successor to the Hubble Space Telescope—the planned 2014 James Webb Space Telescope— might hunt for signatures of dark stars; however, space agency officials aren’t sure if even their advanced JWST will be up for the daunting task. What’s in the Sky: In the WNW this weekend, look for Mercury and Venus in the sky together. On April 1, one hour after sunset, both planets will be a mere 3.2 degrees apart.

Glasnost, nyet... neyacnost, da!
E
ach year at this time the trade magazine School Planning and Management publishes a survey of recent public-education construction, regional and national, complete with median and average square footages per pupil at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Historically, public education has used state sid for educational construction as the lever for compliance with State regulation of school construction, which has long used square-footage-per pupil-in-the-classroom as one of many building design criteria. For decades that magic number has been 30 in most states, even as other requirements like minimum classroom size in Vermont, the ratio of plumbing fixtures to enrollment, the intensity of lighting and ventilation, and so on, have come and gone, varied from state-to-state (different student bladder capacities, no doubt) or been adjusted up and down as energy has cycled up and down in cost. In almost all States, total square footage per pupil (SF/P) at the elementary, middle, and high school levels has been remarkably constant over those same decades. Vermont has been one recent exception, and there may be others; Michigan, for example, where large school districts like Detroit have been plunging in enrollment even faster, and are not only putting fewer students in individual classrooms (like Vermont) but have been closing schools (unlike Vermont) as enrollment declines. Now the SP&M numbers are out again, and again New England, including Vermont, is posting much higher numbers than the rest of the country. A little educational history is enlightening. In the Roaring Twenties, for example, when the nowwell-known inner rings of suburbs around American cities —places such as Brookline in Massachusetts and Oak Park in Illinois—were being built and expanded, many public high schools of that era were designed with a substantial percentage of what today would be considered under-sized classrooms, half the typical 900 sq. ft., so that administrators could improve student achievement via half-size classes: not 30 or so, but more like 15. If your school has small classrooms, you can’t have so many of those offensive large classes. Test-score-wise, the preceptorial-sized classrooms didn’t achieve better student learning, but no matter; since then all class sizes have shrunk, over the decades, until today when the then-special small-class size is now the national average. State requirements for square foot/pupil and minimum classroom size haven’t changed—Vermont for decades has had a minimum classroom size of 750 sq. ft., even as actual average class size has shrunk to below a dozen from the previous norm of 25—and, as you might reasonably expect, states which have shrunk classes while not shrinking class-
rooms (or lobby/corridor areas) are now posting higher total SF/P numbers. Most aren’t, which explains why this year ’s SP&M new school size numbers by region are little changed from long-standing past norms: elementary, 125 SF/P; middle, 142; high, 156. When I was first putting pencil to paper in school design in the late 1950s, the averages were 120, 140, and 160. But not now in Vermont, which shares the fairly unique New England predilection for more expansive (and expensive) buildings, with new construction for each of the three grade-groups showing averages of 155, 164, and 195 respectively. To the question, “How I can check the figures for my local schools?”, the short answer is: You can’t anymore. The longer answer is that official state ed department and local district or SU data for individual schools showing actual square footage and official building capacity rating are no longer considered publicly-available information. They were, once: anyone could call the Superintendent’s office, or the SED, to get such numbers, which were maintained there in a (somewhat) famous three-ring binder- a data page for each schoolhouse building in the state, and well-known locally as well. All that past transparency ended in the mid-90’s, when at a hearing on school costs in Montpelier when I referred to it, the then-SED legal counsel said, “Don’t call us for such data. The Legislature has deprived us of funds to maintain the notebook any longer.” In the not-so-distant past, when Act 60 was new and Act 68, Son-of-60, was as yet unconceived, the school data site actually showed, not only test scores, class size, and spending by school, but even a ranking in terms in spending effectiveness. Once it was realized that the public could see that the best student achievement didn’t always present in the wealthier districts (the basic complaint underlying Act 60) , the ranking was swiftly removed from the site. Well, it ain’t the past anymore,; now, with neyacnost having replaced glasnost in educational policy, you ain’t gonna get the basic data like school size and capacity any more either, and as the new SED policy of no-data-to-the web-site continues, all that’s left there will soon be quite stale and useless. As the nation’s only four-term president once said, “Nothing in politics happens by accident.” Case in point: public education in Vermont. Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.

Caution: frog crossing SALISBURY—Local volunteers from Defenders of Wildlife’s Wildlife Volunteer Corps will team up with Warren King from the Otter Creek Audubon Society this spring and take to the roads to help frogs, toads and salamanders cross roads safely to reach their vernal pool breeding grounds. With up to 500 amphibians crossing the road on a good night even one car can have severe impacts on the hapless critters. Which is exactly the reason why, year after year, Warren King, Jim Andrews of Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas Project and local volunteers dedicate their evenings to ensuring these animals make it across alive. “With this program we have an opportunity to show people one of the unseen but intriguing sides of amphibian life,” explains King. “Not only will we save many salamanders and frogs from being flattened, we will provide solid quantitative data on the timing and extent of amphibian migration for the area's herpetologist. Everyone wins!” The New Haven and Salisbury sites have lower traffic volumes than other sites around the area and focus more on education for local residents. According to King, residents will be able to see amphibians at these crossings that they will see no where else in the state. That and the vast amount of amphibians that can cross the roads in a night make it a unique area for local residents to learn about an often unseen part of their natural areas.

Event to aid Monkton schoolhouse project By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MONKTON—A project to raise funds for moving and restoring the Old Boro Schoolhouse in Monkton Boro will get a boost on June 16 with the First Annual Monkton Golf Classic. The day of golfing, fun, food and competition for prizes will take place at the Williston Golf Club, sponsored by the McKernon Group. Dreamed up by Karen Sutherland and friends of the Monkton Museum and Historical Society, the organization overseeing the schoolhouse restoration project, the golf classic will begin at 11:30 a.m. with registration, a boxed lunch and a putting contest, followed by an afternoon round of golf and a barbecue dinner and awards presentation of prizes to the day's top golfers. The tourney will also feature cash prizes including a $10,000 hole-in-one prize, a $5000 raffle putt, and for closest to the pin. The Monkton Boro Schoolhouse, built in 1843 and last used in 1960 is the last of its kind in Monkton. The Historical Society and others in town hope that the eventual relocation and restoration of the building will provide a much-needed community gathering space and arts and activity center. For more information on the Golf Classic and registration forms including a listing of sponsorship opportunities for businesses and individuals interested in supporting this creative and worthy mission, contact tournament chair Jay Frater at 4532711.

To the editor: Sometime in the next several weeks work will begin on Academy Street in Middlebury and the new, adjacent parking area and on ancillary drainage work. Academy Street will be a new, one-way (south) road between the town gymnasium and Twilight Hall that will connect College and Franklin streets. It is named in honor of the academy established around the year 1800 on the site of the old grammar school, now Twilight Hall. Sadly, in order to construct Academy Street a number of mature trees must be cut. A majority of the trees to be removed are Norway maples, many badly branched and prone to damage, but several are desirable maples in good shape. Most are large trees that provide shade and green for the area and they will be sorely missed. When Academy Street is completed blight resistant elms will be planted on both sides of the road. There are no overhead wires and eventually the elms will arch over Academy Street as they once did over Court Street, South Main and other town streets and roads. The three elms in front of the Ilsley Library and the Osborne House have done well and give an idea of what can be expected in time. A Middlebury Landscape/Tree Plan has been developed for all the areas that will be affected by the Cross Street Bridge and its connector roads. A copy of the plan is in the window at 32 Merchants Row and you can obtain a copy at the Middlebury Planning Office in the Town Offices building. Suggestions and comments are welcome.

CROWN POINT, N.Y.—Crown Point State Historic Site will host a meeting of Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site inside the site’s museum on Saturday, April 10, 2-3 p.m. Several people stepped forward to reorganize and reinvigorate the non-profit organization. Former members and new members from New York and Vermont are welcome. The public is invited to R.S.V.P. and attend the April 10 meeting. Friends of Crown Point State Historic Site, Inc. was incorporated in 1985. The group, working closely with site management, provides support for the benefit of the site’s mission to preserve its history and to serve the visiting public. Active members receive free admission to the site’s museum and are eligible both to vote at the annual business meeting and also to hold office on the friends’ board of trustees. Physical changes at the site museum in 2009 included an impressive new video, a detailed new 3-D model with a sound-and-light show, an improved exhibit, improved parking, improved outdoor interpretive signs, a new kiosk, and new paths. Last year ’s French and Indian War 250th anniversary, Champlain Quadricentennial, and even the bridge demolition publicity, have raised the profile and public awareness of this site. In 2010, Crown Point State Historic Site will publicly celebrate the 100th anniversary of its establishment. Members of the friends group can be a part of that. Crown Point is a unique location, both geographically and historically. In 1734, the French military built an impressive stronghold here, Fort St. Frédéric, with its tall limestone tower and its fortified windmill. A quarter-century later, when the British arrived, they built a larger fortress at Crown Point, starting in 1759. The limestone ruins of both the French-built fort and of the earthen walls and stone barracks of the British fort, located on a scenic point of land that juts into Lake Champlain, have remained largely unchanged since a devastating fire burned the British fort in 1773, two years before the start of the War for American Independence. All who are interested in attending the April 10 meeting or in joining or re-joining the friends group are encouraged to send an RSVP to Crown Point State Historic Site, 21 Grandview Drive, Crown Point, N.Y., 12928-2852 or to RSVP the historic site manager by e-mail at Thomas.Hughes@oprhp.state.ny.us.
Lesser receives SBA award Katy Lesser, owner of Healthy Living Market in South Burlington, was named the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 2010 Vermont Small Business Person of the Year. Lesser was selected for outstanding leadership related to her company’s staying power, employee growth, increase in sales, innovative ingenuity and contributions to the community. Lesser ’s business is a full-service, natural and organic food store abounding with grocery, wine, cheese, local meats, organic produce, a café, a bulk section, and natural health and beauty products.

Museum recruiting volunteers FERRISBURGH—The Rokeby Museum celebrates volunteers every April—National Volunteer Month—with an orientation session for new recruits. Interested potential volunteers may visit the museum, Saturday, April 17, at 10 a.m.,to check out the opportunities. Volunteering at Rokeby offers opportunities for personal education and service rolled into one, according to museum spokewoman Jane Williamson. Volunteers are the lifeblood of most nonprofit organizations, including Rokeby, where they handle everything from tour guiding to bookkeeping, Williamson said. “If you love working with people, art and antiques, history, reading other people’s mail, then you should join our cadre of dedicated tour guides,” she said. New guides will complete a brief training course that introduces them to the remarkable Quaker family that called Rokeby home and the 200 years of history they lived here. Volunteers study historic photographs, documents, art, and artifacts from the Museum’s extensive collection and then share what they have learned with visitors, working two tour days per month during the season (June to October). Rokeby Museum is a 90-acre historic site and National Historic Landmark designated for its exceptional Underground Railroad history. For more information, e-mail Williamson at rokeby@comcast.net. Rokeby is located at 4334 Route 7 in Ferrisburgh.

Tractor Supply to help local 4-H clubs By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com
CLARENDON — Tractor Supply Company, the retail farm and ranch store located on Route 7 in Clarendon, has announced it will offer shoppers the opportunity to support Rutland and Addison area 4-H youth programs through $1 donations at the register. In exchange, customers will receive paper clovers to sign and post in store windows. The program is scheduled to run from March 26 – April 18. “We’ve involved with local 4-H clubs since the store opened. Now, Tractor Supply Company is proud to have an official chain-
wide relationship with 4-H,” said Jim Wright of Tractor Supply. “For us, this is an outstanding way to support our current and future customers and future team members, and it’s a way to give back to the Rutland County communities we serve.” Donations will help fund area 4-H programs that support the organization’s three mission mandates: citizenship, healthy living, and educational advancements in the areas of science, engineering and technology. 4-H is a community of six million young Americans and has been in existence since the start of the 20th century. 4-H programs are designed to provide practical, hands-on learning opportunities to assist youth in reaching their full potential.
Scholarships available for military children Those who defend our freedom know all too well the costs and sacrifices associated with serving in the United States Armed Forces. Many service members leave behind families who must continue their lives with a heavy heart. Other service members sustain wounds and injuries that prevent them from leading a normal life. To show gratitude on behalf of the American people, Freedom Alliance is proud to offer aid to the children of these heroes in the form of college scholarships. If you or someone you know is the son or daughter of a service member who has
sacrificed life or limb, then the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund is available to help alleviate the costs of college. Over $3 million has been awarded to hundreds of Freedom Alliance Scholarship recipients since 2002. “Families of killed or permanently disabled service members face hardships that most Americans can not imagine,” Freedom Alliance President Tom Kilgannon said. “To honor the men and women of our Armed Forces by providing scholarships to their children is a privilege. Paying for a college education is one hardship that these students should not have to endure.”
Snelling makes campaign appointments Mark Snelling, a resident of Starksboro, announced this week that Mary Evslin, Stephan Morse, and Bill Stenger will serve as the chairpersons of his campaign for lieutenant governor. Snelling is a Republican. Snelling said, “I am honored to have these three notable Vermonters chairing my campaign. They have each demonstrated extraordinary service to Vermont in the public sector as well as distinguishing themselves in the private sector. Their public and private achievements serve as models for others to follow. My campaign will benefit greatly from their experience, wisdom, and ideas for improving the quality of life for all Vermonters.” Mary Evslin, of Stowe, was appointed by Gov. Jim Douglas and the legislature as the founding
chairwoman of the Vermont Telecommunications Authority. She also was a co founder and vice president of marketing for a company which was named the fastest growing technology company in North America in 2002 and became the largest Internet telephony carrier. “Mark has an optimistic vision for Vermont and the experience to make the needed changes to achieve that vision. I’m honored to support Mark Snelling and to serve as co-chair of his campaign.” Stephan Morse of Newfane, was a member of the Vermont House of Representatives for eight years and served as speaker of the house for four years. He also was the President and CEO of The Windham Foundation, Inc. for many years.

Panthers squash Connecticut By Fred Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com With 6:49 left to play in the opening half Middlebury and Connecticut College were enthralled in a close womens lacrosse game. The hometown Panthers held a slim 6-4 lead over their guests, but then they turned it on. Middlebury would score the final two goals of the opening half, and six of the eight goals that would come in the second half to cruise to a 14-6 win, and improve to 4-1 on the year. Senior attacker Dana Heritage led the Panther attack with four goals and an assist. She was helped out by junior midfielder Sally Ryan and freshman attacker Margaret Souther, each with a hat trick. In the net sophomore goalie Lily Nguyen made 14 saves for the victorious Panthers. Connecticut, which dropped to 2-3 overall with the loss, was led by Abby Hall with a pair of goals. The men on the other hand lost a heartbreaker 8-7 when they traveled to Connecticut College on the same day. Trailing 7-6 late in the fourth period when sophomore midfielder Alex Englert scored his second goal of the day to tie the game 7-7 with just 3:43 left to play. But it took Connecticut just 55 seconds to answer with the game winner, coming off the stick of John Lyons. Pete Smith matched Englert’s two goals to go along with an assist.

Connecticut remained perfect with the win, going to 6-0 overall, and 3-0 within the conference. Midnight Strikes For Lady Cats The UVM Catamounts ladies basketball team wanted to not only go to the ball this year, they wanted to stay. After a first round win over Wisconsin the Cats had to face the second seeded fighting Irish of Notre Dame on Tuesday, March 23rd. In the opening minutes it looked like they might pull off an even bigger upset and extend their stay to the round of sweet 16. The Cats came out early, hitting almost everything they through up, and quickly took a 20-10 lead over the Irish. But it was at this point that Skylar Diggins, Notre Dame’s star freshman point guard, took over. By halftime Diggins almost single handily, had turned that 20-10 Catamount lead into a 34-24 Irish lead. The second half was all Notre Dame and Diggins, who wound up with a career high 31 points and seven steals. Notre Dame won going away 84-66. Alissa Sheftic led the Catamounts with 14 points in their season finale. A season Cat fans will long remember. Notre Dame didn’t attend much more of the ball either, losing their next game in overtime to Oklahoma.

THE EAGLE - 9
Maple Run promises biggest turnout MIDDLBURY—The second running of the Middlebury Maple Run, the Sweetest Half is set for 9 a.m. on Sunday, April 25. The race is a half-marathon (13.1 miles, USATF-certified) over a scenic course that starts in downtown Middlebury and runs through rural pastures with magnificent views of the Adirondack and Green Mountains. Race organizers are expecting 500 participants to run this year—400 athletes for the full distance and 50 two-person teams. This year ’s race features several new and improved amenities. A two-person relay option gives runners who aren’t quite ready for the full half-marathon distance the chance to enjoy much of the experience. The Leg 1 athlete will complete the first 7 miles, and the Leg 2 athlete will complete the remaining 6.1 miles. The race will be professionally timed by Bay State Race Services and will feature chip timing. The Middlebury Inn, the race’s headquarters hotel, is hosting a pre-race dinner on Saturday, April 24 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The race dinner will feature a keynote address from Kelly Brush, winner of the 2009 NCAA Inspiration Award, which starts at 6:30 p.m. Kelly is a 2008 graduate of Middlebury College. As a collegiate skier, she was seriously injured in a 2006 race that has left her wheelchair-dependent. The cost of the dinner and speech is $19 per person. Tickets can be purchased in advance or the evening of the event. After the race, athletes and their families will enjoy a postrace party. Two Brothers Tavern is catering the event and “The Horsetraders” will provide live music. Every runner gets free admission to the post-race party with his/her bib number. Additional family and friends can purchase tickets for $10 per person. The start and finish lines are located on the campus of Porter Medical Center. The race course leaves the hospital, comes through downtown, turns onto Printer ’s Alley, through the Marble Works district, and heads toward Weybridge via the Pulp Mill Bridge. Once in Weybridge, the course follows Morgan Horse Farm Road, turns left onto Hamilton Road and left again onto Sheep Farm Road to head back into Middlebury. The runners will cross the Middlebury College campus and the relay exchange point will be located at Old Chapel at Mile 7. Runners will continue across the campus, turn onto South Street again from Porter Field Road. Runners will head south on South Street and will make a U-turn just before the intersection of Morse Road and return back to Porter Hospital for the finish.

Sunday, June 6 RUTLAND — Rutland Dismas House conducts an Annual Benefit Dinner and Auction, our largest fundraising event, which provides approximately 1/3 of our annual operating budget. Part of this benefit is a quilt raffle, with tickets sold well in advance of the auction date, and the drawing held at the Dinner and Auction. Last year a member of the community donated an absolutely beautiful quilt, and proceeds of over $3100 were netted from the ticket sales. Our 2010 Dinner and Auction will be held at the Holiday Inn. At this time we do not have a quilt for our raffle. I was wondering if you, or someone you know, might have a quilt, or would be willing to make one, to donate for our auction this year. We prominently show a photograph of the quilt and credit the donor on the raffle tickets and in all promotional material for the auction. If someone does have an interest, please have them contact me at 775-5539.

MIDDLEBURY—Now that spring is here, the American Red Cross is encouraging people to help replenish blood reserves which were depleted over the winter. A Red Cross blood drive is scheduled for Wednesday, April 7, at the Counseling Service of Addison County at 109 Catamount Park in Middlebury. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and anyone who is at least 17 years old and weighs at least 110 pounds may be eligible to donate. Walk-ins are welcome, or an appointment may be made by contacting Danielle Dragon at 388-0302, ext 425 (or ddragon@csac-vt.org). All donors will be entered in a raffle to win two Boston Red Sox tickets and be honored on the field as Blood Donor of the Game. For more information, visit www.redcrossblood.org. The Red Sox prize is not transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash. Blood is needed for patients undergoing many surgical procedures, organ transplants, trauma, and chemotherapy. For some, including victims of accidents, the need for blood is immediate. For others, ongoing blood transfusions are needed to sustain medical treatment. The American Red Cross holds blood drives in communities seven days a week. Information about blood drives in your area can be found by calling 1-800- RED CROSS or visiting www.redcrossblood.org. Remember – it is a pint of blood for you, but for someone else, it could be a life saved. For more information about the April 7 drive at CSAC, contact Danielle Dragon at 388-0302, ext. 425.
Where arts and ag converge VERGENNES—The Vermont Arts Council and Trustee Gerianne Smart are hosting a very special art opening at Creative Space Gallery in Vergennes on Thursday, April 8, from 6-8 p.m. The exhibition, “Bounty: A Celebration of Vermont’s Farming Artists” will be on display through April 24. The opening reception gala is a fundraiser for the state’s arts agency. Presented by UVM Extension’s Center for Sustainable Agriculture, the exhibit showcases more than 30 works by painters, sculptors, photographers, writers, textile, and video artists who are also farmers in Vermont. Featured artists include Phyllis Bowdish, Jenn Colby, Emily Curtis-Murphy, Kristan Doolan, Barbara Flack, Pete Guenther, Nancy Hayden, Diane Petrie, Gerianne Smart, Kate Stockman, and George Woodard. The opening night reception was the brainchild of Addison County resident and Vermont Arts Council trustee Gerianne Smart. “I wanted to do something to really highlight the richness and diversity of the creative talent in our region while elevating the appreciation and awareness of all that the Arts Council does for the arts in Vermont, and specifically for Addison County artists, art venues, arts education and producers. Addison County has received close to $250,000 in arts grants from the Council in the past five years alone and yet we have one of the fewest numbers of members in the Arts Council. I wanted to change that and bring it all together for a fun evening.” The Bounty art show has been traveling the state for six months under the auspices of the Center for Sustainable Agriculture, and that Vergennes is the final location of the traveling exhibit. Concurrently with the Bounty exhibition, Creative Space Gallery will show works by its member artists inspired by Vermont's farms and farmers. Admission to the reception is $40.00 per household which includes a one-year membership to the Vermont Arts Council, light fare, a cash bar, and the opportunity to meet Arts Council trustees and staff. Current Arts Council members will be admitted free of charge. RSVPs are strongly encouraged and can be made by calling 802-828-3292 or by email at lcarlson@vermontartscouncil.org. Creative Space Gallery is located at 235 Main St. in Vergennes and is wheelchair accessible.

VERGENNES—The Vergennes Opera House presents “Harvey” this month. When Elwood P. Dowd starts to introduce his imaginary friend, Harvey (a six-and-a-half-foot rabbit) to guests at a society party, his sister Veta, has seen as much of his eccentric behavior as she can tolerate. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to spare their family future embarrassment.Problems arise, however, when the doctors commit Veta instead of Elwood. Only at the end dose Veta realize that Harvey might not be so bad after all. This classic comedy is a charming and lovable story about the friendships that move us the most. This classic, thoughtful comedy is directed by Melinda Umezaki March 20 and 25 - 27. All showtimes 8 p.m. Tickets: $12 adults/ $10 students and seniors The March 27 production will be audio described by the Vermont Council of the Blind. Order tickets online or by phone through the Flynn at 80286FLYNN or flynntix.org or purchase them locally at the Vergennes Opera House and Classic Stitching on Main Street.

SATURDAY April 3, 2010
THE
N A D R G ‘ PRIZE ’ TM
The area’s most popular and successful participation promotion!
$1,000.00 (a ‘grand’) is hidden somewhere in the region. The first person to find it...
Solar Heat Vermont Puts South Walls to Work Heating Homes in Cold Weather Solar Heat Vermont, a Middlebury-based business, builds low-tech solar heating panels that capture the sun’s energy and direct it indoors as hot air. When owner Ron Kohn talks about his solar panels, the enthusiasm is clear. “They’re simple, affordable, easy to install, and they can provide up to half a building’s heat needs for free. That’s why I named them FreeHeat® panels. I love these things.”
WINS IT! Each week, one clue will be published in The Eagle, a second weekly clue will be available at our participating GRAND PRIZE locations. See listing in this edition.
The basic design has been around a long time, Kohn says. Even though everything he read said they worked in cold climates, he tested them on his own property through two Vermont winters to be absolutely sure. Now he sells the FreeHeat® panels with confidence.
Clues will not be repeated in the paper, but all clues issued will be available at participating businesses. Enjoy the hunt!
The sturdy units are custom-made for each site by local craftsmen. The only moving part is a lightweight plastic flap. No electrical or plumbing hookups needed. The simple design keeps the price down for a fast payback. FreeHeat panels are mounted on an unshaded south-facing wall, not a roof. Roughly half the sites Kohn checks out for potential customers are suitable for the passive solar heating units. At the other sites, he has to tell disappointed people that the wall they had in mind faces the wrong direction or is shaded by another building on the property, a neighbor’s trees, or, in one case, a mountain.
Exclusively in...
But when the site is right, FreeHeat panels can make a big dent in seasonal heating bills, according to Kohn. “They’re low maintenance and built to last,” he says. “Install them, add sunshine, then sit back and enjoy the warmth.” For more information, visit solarheatvermont.com or call 802-349-5833. Kohn is happy to demonstrate FreeHeat panels, and site visits are free.
