W A L L I N G FORD Ñ Vermont State Police announced that two individuals were arrested in connection to an armed robbery in Wallingford last month. The robbery occurred at the Smart Shop-Midway Oil/Mobil fueling station located on Main Street. Kelly English, 32, of Rutland and the store manager, told police that she had been robbed at knife point, forced into a bathroom, and the storeÕ s bank deposit bags had been stolen. The suspect then allegedly stole the managerÕ s vehicle and fled the scene. Sgt. Albert Abdelnour told reporters that the robbery, as first described by English, had actually been staged and part of a strange cover up. Ò As the investigation progressed it was found that the storeÕ s manager, Kelly English, had been embezzling money form the storeÕ s depositsÑ using a process commonly referred to as Ô rolling depositsÕ . In this process the money is taken out of a dayÕ s deposit and converted to the suspectÕ s own use. Then money from the next dayÕ s deposit is used to balance out the previous dayÕ s deposit where the money had been removed,Ó according to Abdelnour. A VSP news announcement about the case said the investigation revealed that this had been occurring with the deposits handled by English. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Giant transports navigate Route 7 By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@ denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — A fleet of truck transports from J.P. Carrara & Sons, Inc., of Middlebury hauled several giant concrete beams north along U.S. Route 7 during the morning hours of April 10. The massive beams are being delivered to a bridge project in Londonderry, N.H. The truck fleet traveled north on Route 7 to better access Interstate Highway 89 via South Burlington. Similar beams were used in the construction of MiddleburyÕ s new Cross Street Bridge spanning the Otter Creek. Carrara & Sons is a family owned company. It produces sand and stone aggregates from a large quarry along Route 116 in East Middlebury. The company also produces ready-mixed concrete and precast and prestressed concrete products at plants in Rutland and Middlebury, and Crown Point, N.Y.

benefits the Middlebury Rotary Club, which includes members from both counties. This yearÕ s tournament, which will award the coveted Buster Brush Old Glory Challenge Cup, gets under way Friday, May 17. Ò Last year more than 110 golfers and their supporters joined the Middlebury Rotary Club at the Neshobe Golf Course in Brandon Vermont,Ó according to Rotarian Kevin Newton. Ò The May 17 event opens with registration at 11 a.m. and the traditional shot gun starts at 12:30 p.m. All who attend could win prizes and money, eat, and most of all have fun.Ó The tournamentÕ s namesake, Fletcher Ò BusterÓ Brush of Salisbury, died Nov. 7, 2008. According to the Rotary Club, when born, Brush weighed 10 pounds 10 ounces, and he received his nickname when his father proclaimed, Ò ThatÕ s a big buster.Ó He worked at Cooperative Insurance Companies and was a member and past president of the Middlebury Rotary Club. He served on the boards of the National Bank of Middlebury, Youth Safety Council of Vermont, and the Middlebury Community House. The Brush tournament proceeds benefit HOPE of Addison County, several Middlebury youth sports groups, Vermont Military Family Assistance, and several Middlebury Rotary Club community projects. Neshobe is among VermontÕ s top courses. Its resident golf pro, Rodney Bicknell, attended Middlebury College and the Golf Academy of the South in Florida.

College hosts international recycling summit MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Vermont based World Reuse, Repair and Recycling Association, a fair-trade recycling association, hosted importers of recycled electronic products and policy experts from African, Asian, and Latin American at an April 16 summit at Middlebury College. The event highlighted the environmental and economic benefits of socially responsible e-waste recycling practices—an export market the association says could grow from $10 to $55 billion by 2015 as responsible reuse systems expand. The event was the first time a comprehensive group of colleges and universities joined regulators, watchdogs, activists and e-waste recycling professionals to discuss the importance of e-waste recycling, particularly in emerging and developing markets. In recent years, the export of used computers has been put on the defensive, the group says, with bans and certifications advocated by some manufacturers which falsely suggest e-waste recycling exports are unnecessary, exploitative or polluting. Nothing could be further from the truth, the association contends, and that is what this daylong dialogue of experts will show. The World Reuse, Repair and Recycling Association is a consortium of electronics recycling professionals finding and implementing economically and socially responsible solutions for the Ò e-wasteÓ problems here at home and overseas. Members pledge not to ship toxics, adhere to strict international environmental and economic standards and best practices and advocate for the social, environmental and economic wellbeing of the people of both importing and exporting nations.

Governor’s proposed tax is bad idea
89126
ThereÕ s been speculation around Gov. Peter ShumlinÕ s proposed tax on break open tickets sold in VermontÕ s Veterans, fraternal and service organizations and how much revenue it might produce. Potentially it could raise no new revenue and could put much of the charitable work done through these organizations in serious jeopardy. As Vermont ELKS AssociationÕ s (VEA) president, I will identify just a few of the programs and causes which are at risk. The VEA, consisting of 13 member lodges, uses this funding to sponsor childrenÕ s sports teams, camps and drug awareness programs; numerous Veterans programs and cash donations to Meals on Wheels, Parent Child Centers, free medical clinics, and emergency food and fuel programs. The National ELKS organization gives more in scholarships to our young Americans than any other group except the Federal Government. This source of revenue contributes to this cause for our Vermont students. The funds are also used to support our Silver Towers Camp for People with Disabilities in Ripton which was the first residential camp of its kind in our country. Campers, ages 7 to 70, join us from across New England and don’t need to be affiliated with the ELKS. Without this resource, our camp, and all of the causes named in the previous paragraph, would be in danger. It was estimated that the surcharge would raise revenue for the state, while in truth it could mean no new revenue and would cause a great loss to VermontÕ s local communities. Since this surcharge could cause a loss in revenue to these charitable organizations, something they cannot afford, many have said they would cease to sell tickets. If this were to happen, much of the charitable good currently supported by these funds would be lost and no new State revenue would be gained. Lori F. Pinsonneault, President, Vermont Elks Association

Saluting Vermont’s Korean War vets
I
tÕ s both sad and ironic that during this year, the 60th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations Korean Armistice Agreement, leaders of the Ò Democratic PeopleÕ s Republic of North KoreaÓ have announced that their nation has scrapped its non-aggression pact with South Korea and her allies. The U.N. brokered armistice was signed on July 27, 1953. It created a DMZ, Demilitarized Zone, along the mountainous border dividing the two nations, just about at the 38th north parallel of latitude. To give you a picture of its location on the globe, according to David Carle, author of Ò Traveling the 38th ParallelÓ , here in the U.S. the imaginary line passes throughÑ from west-to-eastÑ Point Reyes on the Pacific coast, through Stockton, Calif., Tonopah; Nev., just south of Moab, Utah; Telluride, Colo., Dodge City, Kansas, Rolla, Mo., Louisville, Ken., Charleston, , W.V., Charlottesville, Va., and Chincoteague/Assateague Islands on the Atlantic coast and on across the Atlantic to Africa, etc. The idea of dividing Korea along the 38th parallel was first suggested in 1896. It’s been a heartbreaker among Koreans ever since. According to Barry L. Briggs, who wrote the book Ò Land of the Morning StormÓ , a fascinating account about the Koreas, Ò Everywhere in South Korea I was reminded of events of the war, and of my father. What river were we crossing? I asked one day. The Naktong, I was toldÑ the site of the famous Pusan Perimeter where inexperienced South Korean and American forces just barely held against the battle-hardened, numerically superior PeopleÕ s Army.Ó After nearly three bloody years of war, an armistice was signed by U.S. Army Lt. Gen. William Harrison for the United Nations, Gen. Nam Il of North Korea representing the North Korean PeopleÕ s Army, as well as by representatives of Red China. Technically, we now learn nearly every day, the war hasnÕ t really ended, butÑ so farÑ there has been 60 years without full-blown combatÑ although various incidents, such as the hijacking of the USS Pueblo in 1968, indicate that the 1953 “peace” is really nothing more than a prolonged ceasefire between the two Koreas. With all that background as prologue, Korean War veterans here in Vermont are planning a very special get together to commemorate the armisticeÕ s 60th year. In Rutland, Korean War vets have set aside Sunday, July 28, for their special day. An event for vets and their families will be held at the Franklin Conference Center, located in the Howe facility, in downtown Rutland. This gathering will include a social hour, a buffet, a Korean War exhibit, and several guest speakers, according to organizer George F. Bates (CSM, Ret.). Mr. Bates is the chairman of the Korean War Veterans and he has personally asked this newspaper to help get the word out about the reunion and to bring as many Vermont Korean War-era vets together this July 28. So, even as the 60-year-long peace on the Korean peninsula is being seriously threatened, it is especially worth pausing to remember Korean War vets who have passed on, as well as those still among us. What these men and women endured in Korea during the dark days of the early 1950s is very difficult to comprehend today. And as Korean War vets in Vermont prepare for the Rutland gathering this summer, letÕ s pray that their personal sacrifices have not been in vain. Let’s also pray for a real, enduring peace between the two Koreas. Lou Varricchio

GMP issues call for bids on Energy Center By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com
RUTLAND Ð Green Mountain Power is moving ahead with its ambitious downtown Rutland energy center. The company has issued a request for bids on construction of 18.3-kilowatts of solar generation to be built atop the companyÕ s planned Energy Innovation Center , according to Vice President Steve Costello. The center, which is located at 68 Merchants Row, includes solar collectors. Costello said, Ò There will be quite a bit of collaboration required with other contractors. This wonÕ t be a typical solar construction project. As part of a much broader team, the winning bidder will have to work within a schedule that is dependent on other contractors. Bids are due on April 30 and GMP plans to announce the winning bidder May 10. An optional on-site biddersÕ meeting will be held April 17 at 10 a.m.Ó Russell Construction Services of Rutland is heading up the construction project. The effort includes restoration of the buildingÕ s facade, adjoining annex, and interior. Ò Everything remains on schedule for an October opening,Ó Costello added.

Middlebury to host annual Bach Fest MIDDLEBURY Ñ The third annual Middlebury Bach Festival will take place April 26-28, featuring guest conductor Martin Pearlman, conductor of Boston Baroque. Three days of musical events will bring the college and town of Middlebury together, modeled after the way the famous organist/composer worked in Leipzig over 275 years ago. The festival is organized by Jeffrey Buettner, assistant professor of music and director of choral activities, and Jessica Allen, singer, voice teacher, and director of music at the Congregational Church of Middlebury. Ò Johann Sebastian Bach brought together diverse musical styles, sacred and secular genres, and musicians from church, town, and university, and this was the inspiration for our festival,Ó Buettner said. Ò BachÕ s music is appealing, emotionally and intellectually. Guest conductor Martin Pearlman is a leading interpreter of Baroque and Classical music on period and modern instruments. He is the founder, music director, and conductor of the orchestra and chorus of Boston Baroque, now widely regarded as “some of the finest American interpreters of music of this eraÓ (Fanfare). He leads Boston Baroque in an annual subscription concert series in Greater Boston, tours in the U.S. and Europe, and has produced 19 major recordings with Telarc to date. The recordings are heard by millions in thirty countries worldwide, and have received three Grammy nominations. The festival opens Friday evening, April 26, with a concert by the Middlebury College Choir and Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Buettner. The program includes Christoph Willibald GluckÕ s opera Orfeo ed Euridice, and selections of choral music inspired by the myth of the ancient Greek musician and poet Orpheus. The concert will take place at 8:00 P.M. in the Concert Hall of Middlebury CollegeÕ s Mahaney Center for the Arts; admission is free. On Saturday, April 27, the Festival continues with three interest sessions in the Mahaney Center for the Arts Concert Hall. The first, “Daring Virtuosity in BachÕ s Concerto in D Minor,Ó will be given by Middlebury College Affiliate Artist and harpsichordist Cynthia Huard at 10 a.m. The next session, Ò Performing BachÕ s Magnificat,” will be offered by Pearlman at 11 a.m. After a break for the Festival lunch in the lower lobby, participants can return to the Concert Hall for the third interest session, Ò A Day in the Life of a Countertenor,Ó offered by countertenor Martin Near of the professional vocal ensemble Blue Heron, starting at 1:30 p.m.. All of the interest sessions are free and

open to the public. On Sunday, April 28, area congregations will respond to the spirit of the Festival by including works by Bach in their services. Participating organizations include the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Congregational Church of Middlebury UCC, Memorial Baptist Church, St. StephenÕ s on the Green, and United Methodist Church of Middlebury. All events in the Middlebury Bach Festival, with the exception of the Saturday 8 p.m. concert, are free and open to the
public. The Mahaney Center for the Arts is located at 72 Porter Field Rd. in Middlebury, just off Route 30. Free parking is available. For the Saturday night concert at Mead Chapel, free parking is available along Old Chapel Road, Route 125-College Street, and Hillcrest Road, with handicap accessible parking reserved on Hepburn Road.

Vermont author finds new ways to publish By Fletcher Pringle
newmarketpress@denpubs.com STARSKBORO Ñ Starksboro resident, Dona Norton, writes to touch the heart. Her latest novel, Ò Twilight GlowÓ , is a celebration of second chances and continues her Vermont-based series, the Wings Trilogy. These stories take place locally in the 1960Õ sÑ a tumultuous decade in which characters face the same issues faced today É a lingering war, public unrest and shifting lifestyles. Norton says she likes to write novels about everyday people with everyday problems and inspirational outcomes. Ò IÕ ve always been an observer of life and people of all ages,Ó Norton explained. Ò My characters are multi-generational and reflect these observations. I focus on reality while encouraging optimism and faithÑ commodities much needed today. The stories are meant to be upliftingÑ hopefully readers will hate to see them end.Ó Ò Twilight GlowÓ is NortonÕ s fourth novel. The WingÕ s Trilogy includes Ò On Wings to FlyÓ , Ò Wings and HopeÓ , and Ò Wings of FreedomÓ . But donÕ t look for these books on Amazon or in the local bookstore. Norton decided several years ago to offer her novels online free. And for those who prefer holding a book in their hands, she prints paperbacks and offers them at cost. Both options are available at donanorton.com. Ò I want my novels accessible and affordable,Ó Norton said. Ò I understand publishing costs and certainly donÕ t question that authors should be compensated for their writing, but I also have
a problem with fiction novels priced at fifteen or more dollars. That is what my first novel cost when I published through Tate Publishing. Given the current economic conditions, paperbacks are too expensive for many people. So I made a choice to self publish as a hobby and to offer the stories to everyone.Ó Norton purchased a computer program to layout text, design covers, and publish books as a PDF. When completed, a novel is linked to her website as a free PDF, which readers can download to their computer, I-pad, Kindle or Nook. The document is also sent to a short-run printer for paperback copies. Ò I miss not working with an editor and design team,Ó Norton said, Ò but IÕ ve had a lot of help from friends with editing and proofreading. The process is challenging and rewarding, and IÕ m grateful for the changes in technology which make it all possible.Ó Norton admits that her website offers only limited exposure, but she hopes awareness of the novels will spread and her readership will gradually increase. I am also happy to deliver copies of the novels to any local store that is interested,Ó she added. Ò I love creating stories,Ó Norton commented,Ó and this process allows me to continue writing and share my work. Writing also compliments my at-home upholstery business. Together, both my hands and mind are kept active.Ó Prior to these endeavors, Norton taught elementary school for twenty years. SheÕ s also held a permit for wildlife rehabilitation, enjoys carpentry and stonework. Ò IÕ m fortunate to have had such varied experiences,Ó she admitted. Ò IÕ ve always had a wide range of interests and enjoy a new challenge. All this is terrific fodder for writing!Ó

Police said Goshen man was drinking On April 1, Vermont State Police came across a two car motor vehicle accident on Route 14 and Bridge Street in Windsor County. Investigation revealed that vehicle 1, driven by Christopher Magoon, 21, of Goshen, was traveling north on Route 14 when it crossed over the double yellow line in the roadway and side swiped vehicle 2, driven by Roxanne Vesper, 23, which was traveling south. Magoon collided with Vesper with such force that it spun VesperÕ s vehicle 180 degrees causing it to face the opposite direction of travel in the roadway. Further investigation revealed that Magoon had been drinking and was subsequently arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. Magoon was released on a criminal citation and appeared in Windsor County Superior Court April 9.

Many homeowners aim for a picture perfect lawn complete with rolling acres of soft, green grass. But Mother Nature may have other things in mind, providing homeowners with less-than-stellar growing conditions for their lawns, plants and other foliage. Frustration can mount when a yard is muddy, is especially shady or has soil that doesnÕ t seem to grow a thing. In such instances, homeowners may have to go the extra mile to get the yard they desire.
Irrigation issues
Improper drainage or lowlying areas in a yard may contribute to a muddy mess. Soil that is inhospitable for grass

also may end up causing muddy patches because the grass simply does not grow. In some cases, remedying a muddy yard is easy and inexpensive. Some homeowners find that tilling the soil and amending it with a fiber mulch helps to absorb extra water and make the conditions better for lawn seeds to sprout. This also helps to aerate compacted soil that can hinder grass growth. Adding soil fill also may help to level low-lying areas that can be puddling. Some homeowners find that they need to do a little more work and spend some more money to fix irrigation issues. Installing a draining system or having the property sloped to draw water away can sometimes be done by a homeowner but is often best left to a professional. You may need to dig trenches, and the property may need to be regraded to make a difference.
Grass and other plants may not grow well with sandy or clay soil. Again, amending the soil is one way to remedy the problem. Although it will take some work at the outset, amending the soil can improve conditions and reduce how much maintenance the lawn needs. Digging down several inches and adding nutrient-rich filler soil will

help create conditions that are better for growing. Those who are interested in planting vegetables could opt for raised garden beds above the challenging soil.
Shade
Sometimes a yard is problematic because of the amount of sunshine it receives. Too much sunshine can scald certain grasses, while inadequate sunshine may result in bare patches where grass wonÕ t grow. If cost is no object, removing or planting trees to establish better growing conditions could be an option. However, today there are many grass blends that are tailored toward specific sunlight scenarios. Homeowners may find that low-light blends will grow better in shady areas. For those who are finding no luck with grass blends, it may just be necessary to think creatively. Plant shade-loving plants, such as ferns or ground cover, where the grass wonÕ t take. Design the landscape so it looks intentional. Flagstone and slate placed in certain areas also may mask temperamental growing areas. There are different options for managing various situations in the yard that can make growing lawn or other plants challenging. If projects are difficult, it could be smart to call in a professional.

Promote safety around the home
While homes are sanctuaries for many people, a home can be dangerous. The U.S. Home Safety Council states that every year, nearly 20,000 people die and 21 million medical visits are needed due to home accidents in the United States. The elderly and children are the age groups most susceptible to home accidents. Research by the Harvard Medical School has found that accidents and the chance for fatalities increases dramatically over the age of 65. However, accidents can occur in any age group, and making safety changes around the house is a proactive step to avoid accidents. Here are some of the common injuries that occur around the home. * Slamming fingers in doors and windows: For small children, severe injuries -- even amputations -- can result from slammed fingers in doors and windows. * Falls:Falls, especially down the stairs, cause more trips to the emergency room than any other accident in the U.S. * Cooking injuries:Burns and scalding from cooking top the list of injuries at home. Cuts from a knife while preparing food are also leading dangers.
* Electrocution:All it takes is a faulty outlet or a frayed cord to provide a shock, one that can prove fatal.
Safety items
In some towns, cities and provinces, laws mandate a home be equipped with certain safety items. Others are smart choices to have on hand. Although not all injuries around the home can be foreseen, the majority of them are preventable. With a combination of certain safety items on hand and precautionary actions, home-related injuries can be reduced. * Fire extinguisher: This can be kept on hand for minor fires. * Smoke alarm: These alert to the presence of smoke, which could be indicative of a home fire. * Carbon monoxide alarm: These alarms are a necessity to detect carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause death if inhaled in high amounts. Carbon monoxide alarms are frequently installed by furnaces and bedrooms. * Adequate lighting:Since falls are so common, having lights on landings and entryways can alleviate falls due to the inability
to see. * Radon detectors: Another gas that is difficult to detect by smell or sight is radon, which may be leaching from surrounding soil into a home, particularly problematic on the lower level of a home. * Wire organizers:Bundles of wires behind televisions and other electronics can be tripping hazards and cause shocks or electrocution if touched in an improper way. Storage devices can keep them safely tucked out of sight. * First aid kit: A medical kit will have all of the supplies necessary to treat minor injuries. * Grab bars: People who have mobility issues can install grab bars in hallways and bathrooms for extra support. * Door and window guards:A number of safety devices exist for windows and doors, including foam protectors that prevent slammed fingers or hands. * Fire escapes: Those who live in multi-level homes can invest in retractable ladders that attach to windows and provide an emergency point of exit.

For those who are not fans of the open floor plan, blame the excess of the 1980s for their inception. In homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, rooms were compartmentalized and isolated for specific activities. During the 1980s, an era of “bigger is better,Ó when entertaining was widely popular among homeowners, designers noticed that many homeowners preferred an open floor plan in which rooms merged into one another, creating the illusion of more space. A home’s floor plan largely depends on the preference of the homeowner. There are many advantages to having an open floor plan versus one that is more compartmentalized. Pro: Open floor plans can be safer for parents of young children. If the home opens up with the living spaces branching off from the kitchen, parents can keep an eye on children while the parents prepare dinner. It also eliminates the number of places that kids can hide and get into mischief. Con: Privacy is reduced in a home with few walls. Much in the way that an open floor plan enables children to be seen from every angle, it also enables you to be seen -- and all of your belongings as well. ThereÕ s also no place to retreat to if you need a minute to collect yourself when entertaining. YouÕ re on display unless you retreat to the bathroom. Pro: Entertaining can be easier in a home with an open floor plan because hosts and hostesses are not separated from their guests or holed up in the kitchen the entire time. An open space enables everyone to mingle and conversations to flow. Con: Those who like to host events without showing guests all of their dirty dishes or secrets of the kitchen may dislike an open floor plan. Pro: Light can flow effectively through an open space, minimizing dark rooms and reducing the need to install more windows. Light in and of itself can help a home feel more spacious. Con: While light can flow easily, so can sound. Noises through the house may be amplified. A student doing homework in the dining room may be disturbed by the television blaring in the family room. Talking on the phone or even finding a quiet nook to read a book may be challenging. Pro: Open floor plans allow for more family time together in one space than a home with a more compartmentalized layout. Con: People who are collectors or who have a lot of furniture or accent items may find that open floor plans do not work well with this type of design mantra. Pro: Because several rooms run into one another, color choices for walls and furnishings in a home with an open floor plan can be limited and cohesive, making choices easier. Con: On the flip side, those who want to incorporate different color schemes and eclectic styles may have difficulty deciding on where to Ò endÓ rooms or how to co-mingle furniture.

How to repair unsightly bald spots in your lawn Lawn care aficionados know how a single bald spot can make an otherwise luscious lawn look worn down and poorly maintained. A bald spot can stick out like a sore thumb, while several bald spots can compro mise a homeÕ s curb appeal. Treating bald spots typically depends on what is causing the bald spot. Bugs, dryness, pet waste and damage from mowers are some of the more common causes of bald spots. The following is a breakdown of these different causes and how best to address each situation so you can restore your lawn to its natural beauty.
Dryness
some type of structure that makes it difficult for other peopleÕ s pets to access your lawn. When itÕ s your own pet causing the damage, address the spots where your pet relieves itself as quickly as possible. Watering the area within eight hours can significantly reduce the risk of lawn damage by diluting the nitrogen levels. Another way to address the issue is to encourage the animal to use various spots in the yard, rather than continually using the same spot. Flush each area with water immediately after the pet is finished. If the damage is already considerable, remove the damaged grass and reseed the spot.
A lawn can go dry because of drought in the summertime or during the winter months when there is not much rain or snowfall. Homeowners cannot change the weather, but they can help their lawn avoid becoming the burned or yellowed turf that often results after extended periods of dryness. Fertilizing the lawn during the spring and summer is a good first step. This helps the lawn grow in healthy and thick. Once you have fertilized, donÕ t cut the grass too short. When grass is cut too short, the soil struggles to retain moisture, which can eventually lead to bald spots if weather conditions are dry. During especially dry periods in the summer, watering might be necessary. You wonÕ t have to water frequently, but be sure to water deeply so the water can reach the roots of the grass.
Mower Damage
Sometimes Mother Nature and manÕ s best friend are not the culprit with regard to bald spots on your lawn. Human error can cause bald spots, too. Dull mower blades or grass that is cut too low can cause bald spots. Fortunately, this is easily remedied. To avoid bald spots, make sure mower blades are sharpened at the beginning of each mowing season, as dull blades damage the grass, which is then forced to use valuable nutrients to
treat torn grass, weakening the lawn over time. When mowing, make sure youÕ re not cutting too low so the soil can retain as much moisture as possible. This will necessitate more frequent mowing, but this, too, can prevent bald spots, as it ensures those parts of the grass that contain chlorophyll will not be removed. Bald spots can turn a pristine lawn into an eyesore. But treating bald spots can be easy and, when done effectively, the lawn can be restored quickly.

Pet Waste
Waste from pets can cause bald spots on a yard. This might surprise some homeowners, but pet waste contains a high level of concentrated nitrogen that, when applied to a lawn, can burn the grass and cause bald spots. Urine is most likely to cause bald spots, but fecal matter can as well. When addressing the problem of pet waste on your lawn, make sure no one elseÕ s pets are the cause of the problem.Neighbors out walking their dogs should be discouraged from allowing their dogs to use your lawn as a restroom. If this does not work, then erect a fence or

Recycle yard waste into valuable compost
Composting may be a person’s first foray into an eco-friendly lifestyle. Compost is a nutrientrich natural fertilizer that some people refer to as Ò black gold.Ó It can be made from most types of lawn and garden waste as well as some discarded items from the kitchen. Many people have renewed interest in composting because they understand the environmental ramifications of over-reliance on chemical fertilizers. Ground water may become contaminated and certain fertilizers may have adverse effects on wildlife. Compost, a living organism of sorts, comprised of beneficial bacteria, insect life and nutrients for plants, is on the other side of the plant food spectrum. Because it can be generated for little to no cost, compost is not only environmentally responsible but economical as well. A home landscape can provide a wealth of
material to use in a compost heap or bin. Rather than putting fallen leaves or lawn clippings to the curb or in the trash, they can be turned into beneficial material to help keep your garden self-sustained. To begin, you will first need to determine the composting method that will work for you. Compost can be generated from a pile of material placed in an out-of-the-way corner of the yard or be created in a specially designed, expensive compost bin. Many homeowners fall in between these two methods with their compost systems. Most create their own bins from wood and chicken wire or even use a trash container to contain the compost. Once the container or pile location is established, it is time to start the compost recipe. In order to function optimally, compost should have an abundance of aerobic bacteria, which

will compost the waste quickly. Aerobic bacteria need oxygen and a certain amount of moisture to survive. Therefore, it is important to include materials in the compost that will achieve these conditions. Composters frequently refer to Ò greensÓ and Ò brownsÓ in a compost mix. Greens are fresh leaves and grass clippings and kitchen scraps. These materials will have an abundance of moisture as well as nitrogen. Browns are older, dried out plant material and wood. The browns help create air cushions in the compost that facilitate aeration and also contain carbon. Without aeration, the compost will compact down too quickly, which could slow down the decomposition process. This may result in a foul odor. Avoid the use of bones, meat or cheese in a compost bin. This will only attract scavengers and may rot faster than it can be decomposed by the bacteria. Also, avoid pet waste or any lawn trimmings that have been treated with pesticides. Turning the compost will help keep it aerated and will also distribute the bacteria. This can help speed along the composting process.
Avoid adding weeds to juvenile compost because it may not be hot enough to kill the seeds and then youÕ ll be stuck with weeds in the compost -- and wherever you place that compost. Moisture is essential to the compost. Each time you add new material to the compost bin, dampen it. It should be moist but not dripping. Adding a balance between greens and browns should help regulate the moisture level as well. Remember, during warmer months, the compost may dry out more, so you will need to be on top of the moisture levels. The composting process works best at temperatures between 120 and 150 F. The compost will generate its own heat as matter is broken down. However, the heat of warm months can speed up the process. Novice composters may want to begin their composting in the summer as a first attempt. Hot composting piles can be turned into soil fertilizer in as little as 8 to 10 weeks. Therefore, plan your composting start date accordingly. Soon after you may have a naturally sustainable garden that produces material enough to continually feed your existing compost pile.

Tips on cultivating an herb garden for your kitchen
Many people cultivate gardens both inside and outside of their homes with a focus on adding aesthetic appeal to their property. But a garden that boasts plants that are edible and pleasing to the eye is a possibility as well. Planting an herb garden is a creative way to enjoy the sights, smells and tastes of a wide variety of plants. Using fresh-harvested herbs in culinary endeavors imparts a taste that dried spices cannot match. WhatÕ s more, fresh herbs are often easy to cultivate. Herbs are versatile, capable of lending great flavor to foods while also playing different roles in personal health and beauty. Herbs can be grown to perfume homes and bodies. There are herbs that are also purported to help with ailments, from upset stomachs to anxiety. When planting an herb garden, you may want to pay particular attention to the types of flavors and smells you like in your home and cooking. This will help you to narrow down the types of herbs you will plant. Many would-be herb gardeners tend to start small to see what luck they have when cultivating herbs. Fortunately, herbs can grow well in containers indoors, provided the soil is amenable and there is plenty of sunlight. Herbs will grow best in well-prepared soil. Make sure that it is rich in organic matter and drains well. Also, for plants like parsley, be sure to have deep pots or dig deeply in the garden to establish long taproots. Until the weather warms up, you may want to begin herb cultivation indoors and then transfer plants outside during the summer. Basil, for instance, is a tropical plant that does well in warm conditions. Therefore, it will need to be kept away from drafts and get several hours of direct sunshine a day. Place most herb planters in a south-facing window of a home to ensure they get ample

sunlight and to allow the soil to dry adequately between waterings. With many herbs, leaf production will diminish on any stems that flower. It is essential to pinch off flowers that form to encourage the herb plant to continue producing leaves, which are the parts of the plant most associated with seasoning and aroma.

Can pools and lawns cohabitate peacefully? The backyard has become a go-to destination for warm weather recreation. As the Ò staycationÓ has grown in popularity, more effort has been put forth in making the backyard a place where all members of the household can enjoy themselves. That means merging interests into one space. A pool may be competing for acreage along with a decorative patch of lawn. Some homeowners wonder if lawns and pools can be successful alongside each other. Many question if chlorinated pool water poses any ill effects on the grass in the backyard. In addition to splash-out of water during fun times in the pool, water also will be tracked across the lawn from children and adults exiting the pool or will flood the grass when it is necessary to clean and “backwash” the filter. Will you be left with a dried-out patch of chlorine-burnt lawn? Probably not. Healthy chlorine levels in a pool are kept so
that the pool water is generally on par with the chlorine levels contained in regular tap water. You wouldnÕ t hesitate turning on the hose to water your lawn, so you shouldnÕ t be overly concerned about pool water splashing out of the pool, particularly if you are stringent about maintaining the proper pH levels and chlorine levels. Also, soil can withstand chlorine at high acid levels and is pretty resilient about selfcorrecting. Furthermore, grass blades are selective about which nutrients they absorb, so excess chlorine likely will not penetrate the grass blades. Chlorine also dissipates in the sun. Therefore, while the levels may be elevated upon just hitting the grass, over a short while the chlorine will essentially be used up and pose no additional threat to the surrounding lawn. Some people have actually said that watering your lawn with pool water can be an eco-
friendly way of curbing water usage. Therefore, it may be safely used on lawns and most flowering plants. It is unadvisable to water vegetable gardens with pool water because of any trace levels of other chemicals that may be found in the pool water. Homeowners still concerned about exposing their lawns to pool water can create a buffer zone around the pool. Inground pools are tra-
ditionally bordered by concrete or patio blocks. Place stone or mulch around the perimeter of an above-ground pool to catch any splashes and to create a barrier between the pool and the lawn. Also, direct backwashed water through a long tube and have it flow it to an area away from the lawn. Pool owners who want to have vibrant grass likely donÕ t need to worry about chlorine dam-

Pool water chemistry basics Pool water chemistry is something that baffles many homeowners caring for their backyard pools. It is vital to keep an adequate level of certain chemicals to create pristine, safe swimming water. One of the most important tools to have is a pool/spa test kit. Sometimes pool packages will come with a basic test kit that measures for chlorine and pH only. This isnÕ t really adequate for most peopleÕ s needs. Understanding the different facets of pool water chemistry will help illustrate why. There are roughly six factors that come into play with pool water chemistry. 1. Free chlorine (FC): Swimmer protection is provided by a sanitizer, generally a chlorinebased product. Free chlorine residual is the measure of the active, available chlorine sanitizer in the pool that is still able to clean the pool. Without FC, the pool will harbor bacteria and algae and turn swampy. 2. Combined chlorine (CC): When chlorine combines with contaminants in the pool, like ammonia and organic materials, it essentially gets used up and becomes inactive. This is called combined chlorine. This type of chlorine is useless at this point and can contribute to that chlorine smell many people associate with too much chlorine in the pool. Rather, the opposite is the case. There is too much used-up chlorine
and not enough FC. If CCis too high, it will be necessary to superchlorinate, or Ò shockÓ the pool, to rid the water of CC. 3. Total chlorine (TC): This is the measure of the FCand CC in a pool. In perfect conditions where CC is zero, TC tests can be used in place of FC tests. However, most home pools have occasional issues of algae blooms or other problems, rendering a TC test inadequate for measuring true chlorine levels. 4. Cyanuric Acid (CYA): Cyanuric acid is a product that helps buffer chlorine from the effects of the sun. Essentially you can think of CYAas sunscreen for chlorine. Without CYA, also known as stabilizer, in pool water -- and the right level of it present -- chlorine will burn off very quickly in the water. In full sunlight, itÕ s possible for chlorine to evaporate as fast as it is put into the pool without CYA. 5. pH: This is the measure of whether the water is acidic or alkaline. Generally for swimming comfort, the pH of the pool should be kept between 7.2 and 7.6. This way there is no erosion of metal parts or discoloration of pool walls from water that is improperly balanced. Other chemicals in the pool also work more in harmony when water pH is right. 6. Total Alkalinity (TA): TA helps buffer the pool water against big swings in pH levels, making the pool water more consistent.

Cavendish PACE program to help homeowners By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com CAVENDISH Ñ At town meeting this year, the citizens of Cavendish voted to create a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) District. PACE is a financing program designed to help qualifying homeowners invest in specified energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements to their homes through a special assessment tied to their property. Cavendish residential property owners meeting all of the eligibility requirements may apply for financing. If approved, the homeowner will enter into an assessment contract with the town and an assessment lien will be placed on the property. The cost of improvements will be paid to the contractor once the project is complete. The property owner then repays the assessment over a 10, 15, or 20 year period. If the property owner sells the property before the assessment has been completely paid off, the obligation to pay the assessment stays with the
College sports roundup Spartans lacrosse defeat Maine Maritime 13-3
Castleton State College sophomore Zach Davidson set a new single-season assist record and spearheaded a team effort as the Spartans lacrosse team dispatched of Maine Maritime 13-3 last Sunday afternoon at Richie Field. Davidson matched a career high with six assists and added two goals for a team-high eight points on the day. The six helpers give him 42 assists for the season, breaking the previous single-season program record of 38 set by Rob Regna back during the 2005 campaign. Overall Castleton recorded assists on 11 of its 13 goals and seven different players scored at least one goal. Freshman Peter Latulippe was stellar in net, giving up just three goals in 50:19 while making ten saves. Sam Polas played the final 9:41 and made one save without allowing a goal.
property and is repaid by the new owner of the property, or the assessment can be paid off in full with no penalty. Any residential dwelling - primary residence, vacation home, one to four unit owner occupied structure, manufactured home or condominium - located in a PACE district will qualify for the program. Only homeowners who are up to date on their tax payments will qualify and there are limits on how much they may borrow. The next step in the process is for Cavendish is to enter into an agreement with Efficiency Vermont to administer the program. Efficiency Vermont will coordinate the paperwork and will provide the source of financing from which the loans will be made. Residents who think that they may qualify and who are considering participating should start identifying energy improvements and upgrades, and should watch the town website www.cavendishvt.org and the local media for further details. Middlebury had runners on third in 9th and 11th innings, but were unable to score the game-winner. With two outs in the 12th, Kelly reached on a fielding error, while Merryman followed with a single to right center. Kelly was headed for third and advanced to score the game-winner as the ball was bobbled in the outfield. John Popkowski (1-0) picked up the win in relief, throwing three innings of no-hit ball. Sinnickson finished 5-6 with a triple, while Merryman was 3-7 . Kelly, Morris and Lind each added two hits in the game.

Rotary auction brings smiles, $4,000 checks to local charities Fifth Annual Middlebury Rotary Club Online Auction By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ Judging by the hundreds of individuals taking part in the Middlebury Rotary ClubÕ s Fifth Annual Online Auction this year, it was the organizationÕ s most successful auction ever. And judging by the geographic locations of e-auction participantsÑ spanning the USA from Vermont to CaliforniaÑ word of mouth, even at the speed of an electron online, is worth more than anyone had imagined. Ò Peter Hubbard started this auction online in 2009 with $2,500 raised,Ó according to Eric Denu, a Rotary Club member, and owner of Countryside Carpet and Paint on Creek Road in Middlebury. Ò This year it was over $21,000 with 400 items up for bidding.Ó Denu said everything from gift certificates to restaurants, stores, cinema tickets, to special events and trips comprised this yearÕ s big auction. The event ran March 8-22. Ò Whether you had one item or 100 to contribute, the communityÕ s participation continues to be a key part of our fundraising efforts,Ó he said.
Aside from the sheer fun of running and participating in the RotaryÕ s online auction, the bottom line remains that funds generated by the Middlebury club benefit vital charities in the region. This year, the beneficiaries of the Rotary auction were the Vermont Special Olympics, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Camp-Ta-Kum-Ta, the Ronald McDonald House and other Middlebury Rotary Club-specific charities also close to home. To mark the conclusion of the auction, the Middlebury Rotary Club donated individual checks of $4,000 to the organizations noted above. The presentation, which brought applause and a few tears of joy, took place at a buffet breakfast gathering held at the Middlebury Inn April 10. Ò The Middlebury Rotary Club is pleased to support these organizations and others,Ó Denu noted. Ò They make a very big difference to the lives of people in Vermont and weÕ re happy to help through the online auction.Ó Leslie Williams, CEO of Vermont Make-AWish, said the $4,000 she received from the Middlebury Rotary Club will be put to good workÑ immediately. Ò Right here in Vermont, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has enriched the lives of many chil-
dren with life-threatening conditions through its wish-granting work. Our mission reflects the positive impact that such an experience has on the child, his or her family, and the entire community.Ó Receiving the $4,000 auction-generated money gift on behalf of Vermont Special Olympics, Coach William Cunningham was joined by Herb Gingrich of Middlebury. Gingrich is this yearÕ s Special Olympics male Athlete of the Year. According to Cunningham, the money award means a lot. Ò We provide sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them opportunities to develop. But we canÕ t do it without the help of the community and organizations like Rotary,Ó he said, after accepting the check. Ò Thank you.Ó Gingrich said the Special Olympics movement in Vermont unlocked his joy of sport to inspire people throughout Vermont. He recounted the joy of befriending a member of the popular hard-rock band Guns and Roses who had a family connection to Special Olympics. Hattie Johnson, director of Camp-Ta-Kum-Ta in South Hero, was thrilled to receive the $4,000 check. It, too, she noted, will be put to good use.
Ò Camp Ta-Kum-Ta provides a safe, loving place where children from Vermont and New York who have, or have had, cancer can play, swim, have fun, and heal,Ó she told Rotarians and guests. Camp T-K-T is where kids with serious illnesses can be kids again.Ó Liz Spitler, an account executive with WPTZTV, accepted the clubÕ s $4,000 gift on behalf of the Ronald MacDonald House in Vermont. Spitler said she is a friend and volunteer with the charityÕ s Burlington operation. Ò Ronald McDonald House of Vermont is a home away from home for families with seriously ill children seeking treatment at Vermont ChildrenÕ s Hospital. Ronald McDonald provides families with the comforts of home,Ó she said. Since Rotarians pride themselves with the international club motto, Ò service above selfÓ , this yearÕ s Middlebury Rotary Club Online Auction demonstrated that the organizationÕ s membership deliveredÑ againÑ exactly as promised. Check It Out: The 2014 Middlebury Rotary Club Online Auction promises to be bigger and better. To learn more about Rotary activities or in participating during the annual auction, you are welcome to attend a club meeting, Wednesdays at 7:15 a.m., at RosieÕ s Restaurant on Route 7.

Arrest
from page 1 Ò English, and her boyfriend William Shaw, 30, of Rutland, would later stage the armed robbery to cover the missing funds. It was found that approximately $9,650, was missing from the deposits and an additional $145 had been taken during the staged robbery. During questioning, Shaw advised that they used the money to support a prescription drug addiction,Ó Abdelnour told reporters. English and Shaw were arrested April 11 for embezzlement and false information given to a police officer. Both individuals are lodged at the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility. They were arraigned April 12.
