Orwell man created the TelePromTer ORWELL—Richard Bolivar Ullom, age 72, died March 30, 2010, at his home in Orwell. Ullom was born in Dover, Ohio on July 24, 1937. He was the son of Claude and Deretha (Bolivar) Ullom. He moved to Connecticut in 1950. He worked as a draftsman and tool designer at Dura Plastics and later with Warren Condit Manufacturing Company. He designed and manufactured the Diamond Lights at the Lincoln Center in New York City. Ullom, with Warren Condit, were best known as the designors, builders and assemblers of the world’s first TelePromTers that were used in television broadcasting before the computer age. He and his wife owned and operated Chipman Point Marina in Orwell since 1994. He enjoyed sailing, camping and animals, especially wildlife. A memorial service “In Celebration of his Life” is being planned towards the end of May, 2010. A date and time will be announced later. Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers may be made, in his memory, for the benefit of The Volunteers at Porter Hospital, 115 Porter Drive, Middlebury 05753. Arrangements are under the direction of the Miller and Ketcham Funeral Home in Brandon.
Portraits of a medical oddity By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com
Richard Bolivar Ullom
The face of Phineas Gage, the most famous medical case of the 19th century. This daguerreotype is owned by Jack and Beverly Wilgus. A second Gage daguerreotype was made public just a few weeks ago.
CAVENDISH—In 1848, Phineas Gage, a resident of Cavendish Village near Ludlow, made medical history. Within a few days, Gage went from being a promising railroad construction foreman to the focus of attention in the medical world. Now, two photographs, dating to the early 1850s, have been found; they are the first to show the face of the famous Vermonter—America’s most talked about medical oddity of the pre-Civil War era. The recently uncovered daguerreotypes show Phineas Gage as he looked shortly after the construction accident that changed his life until his death in 1860. The unique daguerreotypes are the only known surviving image of the famous man other than a plaster death mask. The first image was uncovered a few years ago by a New Jersey couple; it was brought to the attention of the Harvard University Center for the History of Medicine and Smithsonian Institution only in late 2009. As a respected constructed foreman, the 25-year-old Gage worked up and down the lines of the Rutland & Burlington Railroad—from south of Rutland and Ludlow, north to Middlebury and Burlington, and beyond. Always popular with the local girls, Gage cut a handsome profile in the bustling village of Cavendish. But on Sept. 13, 1848, a freakish event would forever alter Phineas Gage—for the worse. On that late summer day, Gage’s crew was blasting rock to make way for a new rail cut. The athletic foreman used a harpoon-like iron rod, 43 inches long by 1.25 inches wide, to tamp explosive powder into a pre-drilled hole in the rock. It’s unclear what caused the initial spark that set off a premature explosion detonating the powder. The tamping rod, propelled at a speed more than 120 miles per hour, rocketed

Middlebury students raise funds for Haiti By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY—The students and faculty of St. Mary’s School in downtown Middlebury pitched in recently to help raise funds for Haitian earthquake victims. Teacher Emily Stark first proposed the idea; she planned it in conjunction with her former
Roman Catholic parish church, St. Francis Xavier, located in Dyersville, Iowa. Taking her teacher ’s lead, St. Mary student Andrea Boe, a member of the parochial school’s newspaper club, suggested a bake sale as a means to generate in-school funds for the victims. The sale was planned to be

Pictured at right: St. Mary’s Catholic School third graders and teacher Emily Stark joined a schoolwide effort to raise funds for earthquake victims in Haiti last month. Members of the school’s newspaper club, under the guidance of teacher Megan Baker, coordinated an in-house bake sale; the sale generated much of the money for the effort. Students of the school have a positive reputation for helping people in need, near and far.

MIDDLEBURY—Connor Homes of Middlebury, Vermont is honored to be featured in a new book by renowned author Sheri Koones—”Prefabulous + Sustainable”. The NEW book details some of the best prefabricated green homes in the country, and includes a foreword by actor Robert Redford. This is the second “Prefabulous” book by Koones, who sought out Connor Homes in the course of researching the new book. Working closely with the author, two recently completed Connor Homes are featured in the book as well as photos of work being built in the firm’s Middlebury millshops. The Rebecca Leland Farmhouse earned its own chapter, featured on pages 104–111 and showcases a 3,258 square foot Connor Homes residence in Chatham, N.Y., with an Energy Star rating. This home was designed and manufactured at Connor Homes’ facility and then shipped and assembled in sections on-site, allowing for highly efficient material usage and minimal waste. “Working with the owners on their on their farmhouse was inspiring,” said Connor Homes’ CEO, Mike Connor. “This home truly embodies Connor Homes’ mantra of the new old home—you really can have the best of both worlds—classic design with modern environmental benefits.” Another home designed by John Connell, director of de-

MONTPELIER—A Vermont-based libertarian political online blogsite has angered some Vermont legislators. The “Vermont Woodchuck” blogsite posted a doctored photograph of horse manure displaying the state's familiar seal of quality on April Fool’s Day, April 1. The once popular seal of quality, which has appeared on maple syrup and other packaged Vermont foods since 1982, will be retired soon, according to Agriculture Secretary Roger Allbee. Albee told legislators last week that the seal has been sus-

pended because it has been misued and was rendered meaningless. However, several state legislators have said that they want to fight to save the seal and retain on Vermontmade food products. Albee noted that state’s seal of quality neither includes nor enforces specific standards and inspections; therefore, Albee said, the seal is meaningless to the state and useless to consumers as a guide. According to the Vermont Woodchuck blogsite, the satirical seal of quality placed over an image of horse droppings is all about “the smell of manure eminating from under the capitol dome” and not about the state’s food products or food producers.

Kindergarten at Leicester School Middlebury traffic changes in effect
An informational night and registration for Leicester Central School Pre-Kindergarten and new kindergarten students took place last week at Leicester Central School. Children who will be four years old before Sept. 1, were able to register for the pre-kindergarten program. Children who will be five years old before Sept. 1 and are not already attending Leicester School should also have registered last week. Children already in the Leicester pre-kindergarten program are not required to register for kindergarten. However, their parents are welcome to contact the principal with any questions. Parents should have copies of their children’s immunization and health records. Anyone having questions about pre-K and kindergarten at the school, should call the school at 2478825.
Until the end of the school year, on days when school is in session, traffic pattern changes wil be in effect in Middlebury on Court Street, Monroe Street, and Charles Avenue, from approximately 2:45–3:30 on days when MUHS is in session. There will be no exit from Monroe Street onto Court Street. Northbound right turns and southbound left turns onto Monroe Court Street will be prohibited. Buttolph Acres will be accessed via Rogers Road, Washington Street and Seminary Street Extension. Court Street and North Pleasant Street (U.S. 7) should be accessed from Buttolph Acres via Washington Street and Court Square. Utility construction work is beginning on Cross Street, and Water Street. South Pleasant Street, Cross Street and Water Street will be closed to all through traffic. Vehicles currently using those streets will be required to find alternate routes. We anticipate that most will choose Court Street. The temporary daily changes at Monroe Street and Charles Avenue are intended to facilitate traffic exiting MUHS while maintaining through traffic flow on Court Street. The changes will be closely monitored to determine effectiveness. Further adjustments may be required and will be implemented if necessary.
The Cat in the Hat visited Leicester Central School to help Pre-K and kindergarten students celebrate Dr. Suess's birthday last week.

Mud season, RIP
T
he Elmore Mountain Road—or the “Mountain Road,” as locals call it—stretches 7.5 miles along the foot of Elmore Mountain connecting Stowe to Elmore, Vt. It passes through Morrisville on the way. I know the road well having lived off it, in some way shape or form, since 1979. It’s a 35 mph road; both sides of the road boast the most breathtaking views on the Eastern Seaboard. As can be expected, rich folks live at the highest elevations of the Elmore Mountain Road. In October, you can spot the rich folks by the thick blanket of wet “first snow” piled on the roofs of their cars as they drive around town. (It’s a local status thing that I believe is manufactured in some cases. Really.) Ok, you’re rich enough to have a mountaintop home, but not rich enough to have a garage? Poor folks live in the valleys, and bogs, and swampy areas of the Elmore Mountain Road. The poh folk stick out, or they used to stick out in March and April, driving around town in their giant balls of rolling mud cakes. You see, the Elmore Mountain Road is not only famous for its views, but it’s equally famous for its mud. At least it used to be. Used to be during the spring, or as we call it here in Vermont mud season, you could drive into a rut on the Elmore Mountain Road and not be seen or heard from ‘til July the Fourth. Not anymore. Now, the frost just-don’t-go-so-deep in Vermont. Modern day weather and Vermont life in general is becoming more Connecticutish by the hour. Road crews have learned a great deal about crowning roads and scooping swales and shaving shoulders and laying drainage, so now anything needing to run-off, can run-off; mud season nowadays is a mere shadow of it’s former self. Nowadays it’s tough trying to find a good mudin’. Flatlanders who’ve moved here within the past 10 years have no idea how bad a spring road can be, but they still love to play the martyr. “Oh my garsh, I can barely make it down in the morning, but in the afternoon the road is terrible, just terrible. Takes me forever to get home. Good thing I just had a fabulous yoga class, or I’d be a wreck.” I don’t like to burst the bubbles of flatlanders, so I don’t mention that us old timers used to enter the Mountain Road between mid-March and mid-April wondering if we’d make it home—not when we’d make it home. The softness of the old-style Vermont spring roads used to make life difficult. It wasn’t too much fun getting mired up to your running boards in thick, stanky mud. But the softness of those roads hardened us, made us tough, and separated us from anyone not from here. That was then, this is now. Now, changes, natural and man-made, are stealing a good bit of what made us all feel like Vermonters (and Elmore Mountain Road’s claim to fame). Mud. Rest in Peace mud seasons of old. This is all not the beginning of the end. The end began long ago—with the beginning. Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly.

Through a mirror—fluidly A
reader recently e-mailed this writer wanting to know more about liquid-mirrors replacing conventional mirrors in major telescopic observa-
tories. Here’s the simplest way to explain this exotic mirror technology for use in telescopes: a liquid reflective metal, such as mercury, is spin in a container around an axis. The liquid must be 99.99 percent free of impurities and its surface must be dust free to be effective for deep-sky observing. As the liquid metal rotates, its shape can be altered for the purpose of focusing. So, when astronomers get just the right shape for their fluid mirror, they can focus it on distant starlight as good as—and sometimes better than—a conventional glass mirror. These mirrors are used for narrowband (zenith) telescopes. Land-based liquid-mirror telescopes (LMTs) use either mercury or liquid gallium alloys in very tiny amounts— up to a millimeter in thickness. While these liquid metals are toxic, the small amounts used are protected and present no overt hazard to observers. At the heart of a liquid-mirror scope is a cylindrical vessel made of kevlar that holds the liquid. This vessel is spun so that the mercury (or other liquid metal) assumes a paraboloid; this is accomplished via a motor that rotates the vessel up to several revolutions per minute (rpm). Looking at a liquid mirror, you’d be fooled at first glance—its shape looks exactly like a conventional telescope mirror. The real advantage of a LMT over a glass-mirror telescope is its low manufacturing cost; the cost of a large liquid mirror telescope is nearly 95 percent less than a conventional mirror scope. Unlike conventional mirrors, liquid-metal mirrors do not have to be cast, ground, and polished; this fact alone eliminates considerable time and labor in construction. The largest liquid-mirror telescope on Earth is the Large Zenith Telescope in western Canada. With a diameter of six meters (over 9 feet), its kevlar container rotates at 6 rpm to maintain a mercury mirror inside as a nearly perfect paraboloid. Canada’s LZT is located at a University of British Columbia research park near Vancouver. As a LMT, it ranks among the largest optical telescopes on Earth. And compared to similar sized conventional-mirror instruments,
the LZT was inexpensive to construct, thanks in part, to cannibalized parts from a defunct U.S. telescope. “The Large Zenith Telescope project began in 1994, as a collaboration between scientists at UBC, Laval University and the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris,” according to Dr. Paul Hickson, LZT’s director . “The principal scientific goals of the project are to measure By Lou Varricchio spectral energy distributions and redshifts of over 100,000 galaxies and quasars, and to detect distant supernovae. These observations will allow us to study cosmology, the large-scale structure of the universe, and the evolution of galaxies.” LZT astronomers received used parts from NASA’s own narrowband (zenith) Orbital Debris Observatory telescope in New Mexico. The defunct Orbital Debris Observatory ceased operations thanks to the U.S. Congress pulling the plug on its vital space-junk observation program. In the 22nd century, liquid mirror telescopes may be built on the Moon. The frigid surface temperatures at the lunar poles are ideal for LMTs. LMTs on the Moon would gather far red-shifted light—so-called long-wave infrared light—coming from the extreme depths of space and time. What’s in the Sky: This weekend, after sunset in the S.E., a small telescope will reveal Saturn and its big moon Titan. Look for the tiny orange “star” east of bright Saturn. Titan contains more hydrocarbon material than all of Earth’s oil and natural gas reserves.

So easy even a parent can do it H
ere’s a phrase you don’t hear much any more: the Third-Grade Slump.
Like a lot of other child-raising customs which didn’t survive the 1960s, that one was the result of then typical parental pre-k preparation of children for school—who then found they (we) could coast through the first three of their (our) 13-year public education odyssey. The slump came when we found that, starting with grade three, we actually had to pay attention and learn something; the adjustment-lag showed up in poor report cards, parental displeasure, and swift attitude adjustment. My generation of parents was the last to do our pre-k job; when the slump showed, we were sternly instructed at the parent-teacher conference that it was our fault because—rather than presuming to teach, a professionally demanding task not executable by mere amateurs—we should have presented the kids at the schoolhouse door as tabulae rasae, blank slates on which (or whom) pedagogical magic could be skillfully worked to achieve high level literacy and numeracy. Well, it ain’t the 1960s any more. The low test scores aren’t confined to grade 3 and teachers are now complaining that parents aren’t pre-king their kids as they used to. The real story is that prepping kids for reading and math— indeed, we were taught, and did ourselves actually teach, our kids to handle basic reading and math—is so easy that even we parental troglodytes could and did do it. If you think back to the typical grade-school boredom you experienced while the basics were reviewed—yet again and again—consider what the process must hold or fail to hold for the adult educator him (or her) self. It perhaps explains why the professionals have sought intellectual stimulation by debating about all the multiple variations of New Math and New Reading techniques which might be used to rescue teachers from near-terminal mindnumbing boredom in the classroom. The argument over the whole-word Dick and Jane method versus the phonics symbol-sound method was triggered more by a desperate teacher grasp at variety than by a bored-second-grader insistence, I’d bet. To carry my speculation a step further, I’d argue that it’s at the root of such phenomena as lecturing primary grade students on such more-interesting-to-adults subjects as non-traditional marriage, global warming, cultural diversity, First-World urban sprawl and Third-World deforestation, etc. Today, “Proficient” roughly equates to “able to function at grade level” although many educators, as I’ve reported in earlier columns, want to equate it to the even easier “basic” so as to finesse the NCLB 2014 proficiency requirement. As a parental troglodyte, I can testify that I could both receive and then give instruction. So can all homeschoolers
whose students typically score higher than their public-schooled peers. Neither homeschool teacher nor pupil suffer boredom—perhaps because we didn’t make a tediously repetitive career of it and the students, because they learn the 36 symbols and swiftly move on to more interesting stuff where they get to use what they’ve learned. All basic training “grads” are proficient in their basics—more than can be said for the majority of school kids who aren’t in theirs—because they weren’t taught their own 36 basics, something even parents can do. Public education rejects responsibility for this situation arguing, in a suit led by Vermont educrats against federal standards, that nowhere in their job description is their the obligation to bring any specific percentage of students to “proficient”; if the feds want such an unreasonable outcome, then they are just going to have pay more for it. (With the money in hand, it will then happen.) I’d bet that it’s no statistical accident that students in k12 education for military dependents, typically, score much higher in the federal reading and math tests than their civilian-school counterparts. Nor is it irrelevant that military instructors are held responsible for student proficiency—“If the student didn’t learn, it’s because the teacher didn’t teach”—and career-tracked accordingly. The success of most parents at basic reading, writing and arithmetic instruction—and the contrasting 2/3 failure of the k-12 system at the same task measured via NAEP tests—suggests that expanding pre-k to prevent parental teaching at an even earlier age is precisely the wrong direction to take. Every study of pre-k, from Head Start on, has exposed its long-term ineffectiveness. I’d suggest parents ought to be encouraged to teach at home through grade 2—maybe by removing the taxes which force both adults to re-join the labor force when their kids are still at nursery-school level—so that they can present their offspring for grade 3 fully knowledgeable in the critical 36 symbols, ready for more classes which both they and their teachers will actually find interesting. No more Grade 3 Slump—as all the evidence shows, teaching the three Rs is so easy even parents can do it. Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.

Vermont’s Mexican migrants focus of program MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Folklife Center ’s Community Exhibitions Program presents two bodies of work that focus on the experience of Mexican migrant workers in Addison County—one created by students at the Lincoln Community School and the other by Mexican migrant workers themselves. This work will be on display through April 23 at the center ’s Vision and Voice Documentary Workspace in Middlebury. Over the winter months fifth and sixth graders at Lincoln Community School examined the situation of Vermont dairy farmers and the Mexican farm workers who labor on their farms. Three projects emerged from the course of study that are featured in this exhibit: Inspired by quotes from “The Golden Cage” exhibit, students created poetry, prose, and artwork based on these narratives. They then paired digitized art and text with music to create digital stories, which they also narrated.
The work by Lincoln students will be paired with the Invisible Odysseys project, which presents three-dimensional autobiographical dioramas created by Mexican workers on Vermont farms. Conceived by artist and writer B. Amore and implemented in partnership with geographer Susannah McCandless and independent scholar Ethan Mitchell, Invisible Odysseys brought paints, wooden boxes, and mixed media materials to Mexican workers so that they could engage in making three-dimensional representations of their personal journeys. Through participation in the project farm workers have told their own stories, in their own words, and through their own individual artistic expression. The Vision and Voice Documentary Workspace is a program of the Vermont Folklife Center, which is located at 88 Main St. in Middlebury.

GOP opens county HQ
Guest Viewpoint
School taxes not fair
By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com
RUTLAND—Rutland County Republicans got an early start to the 2010 campaign season by opening its Rutland County headquarters April 5. The high visibility office is located on the corner of Merchants Row and West Street in downtown Rutland. An informal kickoff was planned on opening night. “It is fantastic to have the level of support we have to open our office early” said Bradford Broyles, the Grand Old Party’s Rutland County chairman. “Our headquarters will serve as the people’s workplace with the common goal of supporting candidates who will work toward economic opportunity for all Vermonters,” said Vice Chairman Dwight Mcpherson. The GOP’s Rutland County headquarters is tasked with supporting a dozen local house and senate races as well as the slate of statewide candidates. “The election is only 217 days away” Broyles added. “It is imperative we spread the message of responsible governing from Brian Dubie all the way down the ticket to our house races. It’s exciting to have so many people involved this early in an election year, and just as exciting to have a great location to gather.”

Salamanders on the public dole To the editor: What am I missing? Businesses and jobs are leaving Vermont in droves. Legislators say the states revenues are below 'estimates' (Duh, the worker bees have been saying that for years). The legislators just voted a new tax bill (H.783) to increase taxes on manufacturers, farmers and contractors That should really encourage new job growth. The unemployment fund is completely empty and we have to borrow from the feds to pay jobless benefits. The state forecast indicates we will be $ 150,000,000 short in next year's budget. Yet, there is $150,000 available to save a couple of salamanders in Monkton? 100 were killed in the past few weeks. I am a hunter/conservationist and I respect wildlife, but I have to wonder who is running this train? Why are grants being handed out for any reason ? Burt Degraw Bristol

To the editor: Saw the planet Mercury, as your “Seeing Stars” column drawing showed. At 8 p.m., Venus was about a hand span (4 inches at arms length) north of west and a span and half (about 5 inches at arms length)above level (astronomical horizon.) Another finger and half width to the west and down a skinch was Mercury. Mercury was at its brightest a week ago, but was lower down. It was at its maximum from the Sun... around April 8 and starts going back towards the Sun after that. So, get out there where you can see low to the west and look for both Venus and Mercury. Mercury is known for being fast, messenger of the gods and appears in the evenings and mornings for very short periods, During May it is a morning star but doesnt get far enough from the sun to see easily. And it left Venus way behind. It returns to the evening in July and again doesnt get far enough from the sun. Then back to morning of late Sept hen it should be visible at twilight, then in the evening around Dec. 1. Peter Grant Bristol
ontpelier should be trying to make the education tax system simpler and fairer. Instead, in the haste to cut general fund spending, Gov. Jim Douglas would make it more complicated and less fair—increasing taxes on middle-income Vermonters and lowering them on those with higher incomes. Sound crazy? It is. Most Vermonters agree that the fairest tax is one based on the taxpayer ’s ability to pay: a family’s school tax obligation should go up or down along with its income. Property taxes don’t work that way. They’re based on the value of the house. But when Vermonters lose jobs and income—as many have during this recession—school taxes on this fixed asset can become an unsustainable burden. That’s why the education finance law introduced “income sensitivity” in 1997. It allows most Vermont homeowners to pay their school taxes based on the amount of their household income rather than on the value of their house. This was not intended as a program for low-income Vermonters, but as a way to make the system fair for all Vermonters—and consistent with the Vermont Supreme Court’s 1997 Brigham decision. Under the current system, each town school district votes in the spring on the amount it wants to spend per pupil. Based on the town’s decision, the state sets the tax rates on both the fair market value of homes and the household income of residents in that town. Higher spending per pupil results in higher tax rates. The same spending per pupil in any two towns results in the same tax rates in those towns. Equitable between towns, the system is also fair for individual taxpayers and helps stabilize communities, as no family has to choose between adequately funding its school and keeping its home. Even with the income sensitivity system in place, however, a 2009 Vermont Tax Department analysis shows that middle-income Vermont households were paying nearly six times the percent of income for school taxes that their wealthiest neighbors pay: 2.9 percent, on average, versus one-half of one percent. Nevertheless, as part of his fiscal 2011 budget, the governor has proposed lowering school tax rates for households with incomes above $90,000 and raising them for those earning between $60,000 and $90,000. A family of four with two workers each making Vermont’s average annual wage of $38,000 would fall right in the middle of the tax-increase category. Gov. Douglas also wants to require more Vermonters to pay school taxes on both property and income. Currently, that category includes only some Vermonters with household incomes above $90,000. Now, he wants those with incomes below $90,000—who may now pay based on income only—to pay property taxes, too, if they own a home worth more than $400,000. The Vermont House of Representatives looks ready to adopt at least this part of the governor ’s plan. Both of these changes increase taxes on middle-income Vermonters in order to provide a tax break for wealthier ones. The Joint Fiscal Office estimates that 30,000 Vermonters would see higher taxes from these changes. One of the governor ’s key complaints about Act 68, which he signed in 2003, is that it’s too complicated. His solution? Instead of one property rate and one income-based rate for each town, he’d institute a threetiered income-based tax rate, as well as increase the number of people who have to pay on both income and house value. Under his system, it would be virtually impossible for voters to determine what they owe at the time they vote on their school budget. And if school boards cannot explain the tax consequences of their spending decisions to voters, local control becomes meaningless. Montpelier is taking education funding in the wrong direction. To become fairer and less complicated, the school finance law should simply levy school taxes on all Vermont residents based on their ability to pay. Paul Cillo 70702

Panthers drop 2 of 3 at Wesleyan By Frederick Pockette
SALE BY OWNER • Please Call 802-343-4230
newmarketpress@denpubs.com The Middlebury Panthers traveled to Wesleyan College last Friday and Saturday, where they hooked up in a three game series. After dropping the first two, Middlebury avoided the sweep by capturing the third and final game of the series. After the three game series Middlebury stood at 3-8 on the year. In Friday night’s opener Middlebury jumped out to a 5-0 lead with a 5 run thir inning, only to watch Wesleyan score 4 times over the last two innings to pull out a 7-6 win. Third baseman Donald McKillop carried the big stick for the Panthers. McKillop went 2-for-4 with a double, 3 RBIs and a run scored. Erich Enns, Zach Roeder and Danny Seymour contributed another two hits apiece in the losing effort. Nick Angstman started for the Panthers and went five and one third innings, giving up six runs (five earned) on seven hits with four strike outs and walks. He handed the ball to John Popkowski. Popkowski worked one and a third, and gave up the winning run on three hits to take the loss and fell to 0-2 on the year. Sophomore hurler Mike Barsotti went the distance for Wesleyan to pick up the complete game win. In nine innings of work he gave up six runs (only three earned) on 10 hits. The young hurlers most impressive stat line was his 16 strikeouts against a mere pair of walks. He improved to 3-2 on the year with the win. In the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader Wesleyan scored 8 runs in the 4th and 5th innings to turn a 2-2 tie into a 10-2 blowout. On the mound, another sophomore hurler named Brett Yarusi took care of the Panther bats. Yarsi pitched all seven innings allowing just six hits and two runs to pick up the win and improve to 4-1 on the year. McKillop again collected two of the hits, including another double and RBI to lead Middlebury’s limited offense. Starter John Wiet took the loss for Middlebury Wiet worked the first three and two third innings, allowing eight runs on nine hits. Wiet dropped to 0-1 on the season. The Panthers finally got some redemption in the series final game last Saturday. Shortstop Matt Wassell led a seven run, eight hit attack to pace Middlebury in a 7-2 win. The sophomore infielder went two-for-three with a homerun, a run scored and two RBIs. Catcher Zach Roeder blasted a two run homerun and designated hitter Joeseph Conway added a solo shot for the long ball happy Panthers. On the other side of the ball senior pitcher Matt Lowes gave Middlebury their only complete game of the series, picking up the win and improving to 2-1 on the year. In

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. 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. 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.
Gage out of the hole; it ripped through Gage’s skull and brain—via the lower left cheek, penetrating the left eye—and then exited. The iron missile came to rest on the ground a few yards away from the dazed man. Remaining conscious, Gage alerted his crew; several of the men walked alongside the ambulating foreman to a nearby doctor. “Here’s business enough for you,” Gage matter-of-factly told the village doctor. Business enough for generations of medical students to ponder. The examining physician was both horrified and astounded—here was a miracle that staggered the scientific mind; the young man had survived the trauma of a missile’s high velocity transit through flesh, brain, and bone. Within a few days, while under the watchful eye of John Martyn Harlow, M.D., it was apparent that Gage was not the man friends and co-workers knew so well. Instead, his personality had changed for the worst. No longer reliable, focused, and polite-spoken, the young foreman became listless and foulmouthed. He uttered “the grossest profanity”, according to Dr. Harlow. The R&B Railroad soon dismissed Gage and his wandering, wicked ways throughout the Americas became the stories of legend. To earn a modest income, the unemployable Gage worked as a sideshow freak making public appearances in New England and elsewhere. He died in San Francisco in 1860 after being taken by a violent series of seizures. Gage was the focus of study for many neuroscience researchers. Thus, the New Englander became “the most famous patient in the annals of neuroscience...,” according to Steve Twomey, who wrote about Gage in a recent issue of Smithsonian Magazine. “His case was the first to suggest a link between brain trauma and personality change.” After his death, Gage’s skull and a death mask were donated to Harvard where researchers still examine them. Jack and Beverly Wilgus, the couple that had acquired the first Gage daguerreotype, alerted historians to the strange photo which shows a one-eyed man holding an inscribed iron rod. At first the Wilgus’ thought the man in the photograph was a harpoonist, however, after several trained eyes examined the image and concluded the mystery man was Gage. A descendant of Phineas Gage owns the second daguerreotype of the famous medical patient. After the Wilgus’ announced their discovery in January, the Gage family descendant decided to go public with the second image. Special thanks to the Smithsonian and Harvard Center for the History of Medicine for assistance in preparing this article.

Haiti From page 1 entirely in-house and coordinated by the newspaper club members. “We had one and half weeks to prepare,” said teacher Megan Baker, who heads the school’s newspaper club. “Students in St. Mary’s Newspaper Club coordinated the sale and sold the baked goods to students and teachers at a table they set up in the school library.” Stark, who teaches third grade at St. Mary’s, has visited Haiti as a lay missionary with her former Iowa parish. “Haiti holds a special place in my heart,” Stark said. “When I heard about the earthquake, my initial feeling was one of helplessness.” Stark’s family became involved in Catholic service work to Haiti through St. Francis Xavier. The Iowa church has a sister parish in the hillside Haitian village of Fond Verrettes. “Every year a group travels to Haiti with medical supplies, school necessities, food, clothing and other items, we often take for granted,” Stark said. “I was fortunate to travel to Haiti in 2001. Since then, a member of my immediate family has made the trip; connections

The North Ferrisburgh United Methodist Church held a special spaghetti dinner last week to raise money for local youths to go on a Christian mission trip to Mississippi.

have been made and hearts imprinted. Sadly, the St. Joseph’s Boy Homes, a refuge for homeless boys, was destroyed by the quake; several children died.” St. Mary’s also directly helped other Haitian charity houses including Wings of Hope, for severely handicapped children, Trinity House, and Matthew 25, as well as Haitian Catholic parishes and schools. Under teacher guidance, students helped with food packets for Kids Against Hunger. Each packet contained dry food meals akin to military MREs (meals ready to eat) complete with nutrients, protein, vitamins and minerals. All the funds raised by St. Mary’s were donated to the Xavier Haiti Fund. One hundred percent of the proceeds went directly to aid the earthquake victims. “I felt bad for the children who lost food,” said Olivia, a third grader at the Middlebury school. “We baked things and bought food packets to make them feel better.” Another third grader, Joe, said, “I donated my money and food. I also said prayers for the victims.” Several students said they learned a big lesson about looking outside themselves to help fellow Christians and non-Christians in need. “We’re all connected, “said teacher Emily Stark. “The world is a big family.”

Local food summit planned RUTLAND—A statewide local food summit is being planned for Saturday, April 10, 9:30 a.m.–4 p.m. at the Rutland Middle School Complex. It is being co-convened by the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund’s Farm-to-Plate Initiative, the Vermont Sustainable Agriculture Council, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets, UVM’s Center for Sustainable Agriculture and the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link (RAFFL). If you are interested in more information about the Farmto-Plate Initiative, and efforts to develop a 10-year strategic plan for Vermont’s farm and food sectors, see: www.vsjf.org/project-details/5/farm-to-plate-initiative.
Poll shows Britton edging on Leahy RUTLAND—A Rasmussen Reports poll of the Vermont U.S. Senate race brought some bright news to the Britton campaign. The poll results revealed Leahy leads by 25 percent (Leahy 58 percent, unnamed generic Republican opponent earns 33 percent support), 2 percent prefer another candidate in the race, and 7 percent are undecided. "I am very happy with news. For a political newcomer to be within 25 percent of a 35 year incumbent at this point in the race is good news—we have 222 days to make history and give Vermont a new voice in the Senate. Scott Brown swung 41 percent of the votes in Massachusetts in far less time" said Britton. "When we break the 40 percent line, a mere 7 percent away, it becomes a horse race. The hidden gem in the polling was that only 52 percent of Vermont voters think it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this November, 51 percent say their local representative deserves reelection. This clearly shows Vermont voters are unhappy with inside the beltway politics of elected officials who serve year after year, decade after decade and are our problems—not our solutions,” Britton SAID. Britton describes himself as “the independent Republican candidate.”
