More arts “bailout” funds
Honored violinist passes
From News Reports
Brother of Orwell’s Murray Korda World-renown violinist Robert Alan Korda, born Oct. 4 1940, passed away July 8, in California. Korda had close ties to the Korda family of Orwell, Vt. Robert’s eldest brother, the late Murray Korda of Orwell, was also an internationally acclaimed violinist. Murray died Sept. 30, 1998, in an auto accident in Shoreham. Born in Far Rockaway, N.Y., to Irene and Abraham Korda, Robert Korda was first introduced to the violin when his brother, Murray, placed his fingers on the strings as Robert Korda Robert sat in his high chair. At age three, Robert began taking lessons from Murray. (Murray Korda made his debut in New York City, at the age of 15, and toured the U.S. with the American Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Morton Gould. After appearing as soloist with the Carmel Bach Festival in 1948, Korda became a resident of Los Angeles, and has the distinction of being the very first violinist to appear and perform on a live telecast, that taking place on KTLA-TV, then at Paramount Studios. He later moved to Orwell.) When the Korda family moved to Los Angeles, in November 1948, Robert continued his studies and was accepted in the Merenblum Youth Symphony Orchestra. Over the years he played with trios and quartets. He joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1960. In 1963, Murray assembled the Monseigneur Strings, for the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and soon, the Monseigneur Room became known for its elegant atmosphere and strolling violins.

The Vermont Arts Council announced 77 taxpayer-funded awards totaling $245,165 for Arts Learning, Community Arts and Creation projects. This announcement comes on the heels of last week’s news that 42 Vermont arts organizations were awarded funds totaling $606,000 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. While stimulus funds—popularly called “bailouts”—were designated for job retention in the non-profit arts sector, these grants will fund individual artists, schools and community arts projects.

Champlain Bridge turns 80 this week O n the anniversary of the grand opening of the Lake Champlain Bridge in 1929, Crown Point State Historic Site is hosting an 80th birthday party. Governors Franklin Roosevelt of New York and John Weeks of Vermont officiated at the state line on Aug. 26, followed by a remarkable parade. On the anniversary, the public is invited to hear Addison resident Erwin “Red” Clark present an illustrated lecture on “the construction of the Lake Champlain Bridge.” Clark’s free talk will take place on Aug. 26 in the air conditioned museum auditorium at the historic site, starting at 6:30 p.m. After Clark’s presentation, birthday cupcakes and punch will be served. The old bridge’s future is uncertain as officials from both state decide to either upgrade the bridge or replace it after 2013.

Too stupid to fix it? Are Americans failing basic mechanical literacy? Are today’s young people mechanically illiterate? As some 5,000 recent high school graduates in Vermont

You knew they’d eventually stop working and you’d have to fix them. Today, that’s not the case. Young people simply don’t expect things to break, so they’re not prepared when they do.” To fill the mechanical education gap for his own kids, Elliott wrote The Portable Dad: Fix-it Advice for When

“Cash for Clunkers” brings more complaints The new Cash for Clunkers program is the government’s way of rewarding Americans who want to trade in their current vehicle for more a fuel-efficient option. Although dealerships across the country have been in a financial squeeze for months, so far this program isn’t much of a reward for new car dealers. Better Business Bureau in New England and elsewhere has been receiving complaints from its accredited auto dealerships participating in the Cash for Clunkers program. Most of these complaints surround the claim submission process and the length of time that it is taking the government to send out rebate checks to the new car dealers. Dealerships are also reporting that many applications are being rejected due to technicalities. “Automobile dealers have been financially stressed from months due to slow vehicle sales,” said Paula Fleming, spokewoman for the Better Business Bureau. “For smaller dealerships, the cash-flow squeeze of delivering vehicles and then waiting for the payment of these rebates

Q: Do Chiropractors recommend exercises and stretching for certain problems to help with care and recovery? A: Unfortunately, most patients go to their doctor with problems and expect that doctor to fix their problem. More of us need to take responsibility for our own health, which may take a little work. Chiropractors work with the musculoskeletal system and when someone comes to us with a problem it’s very common for the patient to get homework. This homework is in the form of specific stretches and exercises to improve mobility, relieve pain and reestablish balance and harmony between the muscles of the affected area. As recovery continues, the exercises are directed at strengthening and stabilizing the area so that the imbalance that caused the problem doesn’t recur and lead to a relapse. I am especially happy when a patient continues with their exercises even after the pain is gone. “the greatest wealth is health” Call 388-6376, mention this article and schedule an appointment for a FREE Evaluation and X-rays. www.middleburychiropractic.com 35203

Obama Care
52117
To the editor: I feel safe here in Vermont knowing our fiscal leaders, such as State Senators Ancel, Bartlett and Ayer have a solid grip on reality. Of course they do, that’s why Vermont’s shortfall isn’t $300 million and growing. We’re so lucky to have them! So here’s a news item I found about the People’s Republic of New Mexico facing Medicaid cuts: “Nearly one-in-four New Mexicans receives health care assistance from the state or federal government, including Medicare... Medicaid is New Mexico’s largest health care program and it accounts for 11 percent of state spending. New Mexico’s Medicaid program faces a budget shortfall of up to $300 million in the next two years... Options range from reducing or eliminating benefits, such as dental care for poor adults, to lowering the reimbursement rates for doctors and other providers... If drastic cost-cutting becomes necessary... the state might need to scrap entire portions of Medicaid...” Reduced services, limits on payments to health care providers, onerous bureaucracy, and increased taxes: it could be a preview of ObamaCare. Wait a minute. What do I mean “could be”? Ed Mann Waltham
Remembering Cecile Gevry To the editor: There were friends and family members who were able to be there with a warm hug to give, a strong hand to hold, an open ear to listen, a happy memory to share. And others though some not present, did so much to show they care with a beautiful note, a generous donation, a delicious meal, a lovely bouquet. We especially want to thank Linda and Kirk Roscoe, her care givers, for their loving and supporting care of our mother and Mamere during the past year. Also, the Addison County Home Health nursing staff, and Dr. Weylman for their compassionate support of Cecile Gevry’s health needs. Please know your kindness made this sad time easier to bear.

A few catamount sightings have been reported, too, so be careful. The summit of Snake Mountain overlooks the lower portion of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks to the far west. The view at the top are similar to Mt. Philo’s but perhaps more spectacular, more panoramic. As a novice hiker, I found it to be an enjoyable trek with some challenging aspects. However, walking through the woods on a gorgeous day with an amiable hiking companion and experiencing nature and the beauty that Vermont offers is what makes the Vermont out-
doors worth experiencing. Once you ascend to the summit, the views make the journey worthwhile. I spent a good portion of the sunny day at the summit taking in the magnificent views of the region, but even with this, the hike took us just over 3.5 hours. A word of caution here—make sure you bring plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, bug spray and a picnic lunch. And don’t forget the hikers motto: take out what you take in.

Recently, I hiked up Snake Mountain—approximately 1,287 feet above sea level. This flat-topped mountain made of red quartzite rock appears as “Grand View Mountain” on 19th century maps. Renamed after its serpentine-like shape, the mountain is an isolated questa located in Addison and Weybridge. What’s a questa, you ask? Well, it’s a kind of mesa with a sheer cliff front and an angled, sloping side. Snake Mountain’s high cliff face looks west in the direction of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack High Peaks. It’s eastern slope is more gentle, relatively speaking. Snake Mountain belongs to a series of scattered fault-scarp hills extending north from the tip of the Taconic Mountains. The mountain is special for its natural history; it cradles Vermont's 1,215-acre Snake Mountain Wildlife Management Area, the Nature Conservancy’s Willmarth Woods Sanctuary, and rare relict of the end of Ice Age, a quaking bog. To get to Snake Mountain the trailhead can be found from the junction of Routes 22A and 17 at Addison Four Corners. Follow Route 17 east to a junction on the right with Mountain Road. Then follow this road south past the Whitford Road to a small parking lot on the right about 500 yards north of the Wilmarth Road. Visitors park and walk up the road a few hundred feet to a small, abandoned house. The trailhead entrance is on the west side of the road junction. The hike to and from the summit is 3.6 miles and takes close to two hours. It’s relatively moderate with a few difficult spots. The elevation gain is approximately 900 feet. The main trail joins the old summit carriage road and it’s easy and wide to follow. The trail winds through a forest with a mix of red oak, shagbark hickory and red and

Take soil samples from different parts of your yard and garden and test them separately so you can apply what's needed for each particular use. Extension test kits are available from local offices and many garden stores. Plants that are still devel-
oping new root systems need ample water in the fall before they go dormant. Roots grow until the soil temperature gets down to the low 40s (degrees F), so moisten the entire root zone once a week unless you have a soaking rain. Moisten means to water well.

’ve been all over you for 48 years, or let us say 47—give or take a month—and you’ve not for one day been sore, broken, cramped, crippled, or clubbed; You haven’t really even stunk. You’re also not calloused. You two blessed dogs have performed way out above and beyond the call of duty. I’d just like to say you’re amazing feet, and I’ve noticed. You support me. You lead me. You clear the way and cushion my journey. You get stepped on. You hang off motel beds. You fit perfectly into the trite expression: “Feet don’t fail me now.” You are integral to the operation of my vehicle. You don’t slip in the tub or on wet rocks. You are like hands, but you are feet. You are awesome. Sitting positioned high in an office chair looking down at the two of you, bare, barely touching the ground, I’m interested by how simple and ineffectual you look, yet how intricate and efficiently designed you are. The gang down at NASA have nothing on you feet. I see veins, blue ones mostly, but some are purple. The ultra thin delicate veins are blood red. I see cord-like bungyish things at the bottom of my leg that fan out flowingly, one to a toe. I see knuckle joints, and nails. Underneath you I see one more cord-like thing spanning your arch from heel to the pad beneath the big toe. These foot apparatus I see allow you to tilt, swivel, bend, twist, and flex, like no other part of my body can. And so if I may, I’d like to apologize for not yet having congratulated you on how marvelously and efficiently you operate. Here’s to ya feet. Here’s to the sound of summer that is the “smack,” you two make upon hitting the water when jumping from a high granite ledge into a cool Vermont swimming hole. Here’s to petting my cat with you. Here’s to soft socks; What good are they if you’re not in them? Here’s to you being bare while walking during summer on wood floors tacky with humidity; Or on the same floor during chilly fall mornings; Or on wintertime wood floors warmed by radiant heat. Here’s to wishing the masseuse would cut the time she spends rubbing on my thighs by half, and add it to the time she spends rubbin' on you.

hile most astronomy textbooks since the 1960s report that the Moon is bone dry, there is some recent evidence that may force future revisions. Last year, a team of researchers led by Alberto Saal of Brown University and Erik Hauri of the Carnegie Institution reexamined small, green volcanic glass beads collected by Apollo astronauts back in 1971 and 1972. Using a new, advanced microprobe technique, the researchers were astonished to discover that the extraterrestrial glass beads contained as much as 46 parts per million of lunar water. That’s far more water than anyone ever imagined could be locked up inside “bone dry” moonrocks. When Saal and Hauri extrapolated the calculations back in time, they found that the Moon’s interior may have held as much as 750 ppm of water. “This suggests the very intriguing possibility that the Moon's interior might have contained just as much water as the Earth’s mantle,” Hauri told reporters last year. Clues left by the glass beads have cast a shadow on the current, popular explanation for lunar origin, the so-called Big Whack Theory. According to this theory, the early Earth was smacked by a Mars-sized protoplanet 4.5 billion years ago; the event spewed a vast ring of molten crust into space that quickly coalesced, in orbit, to form the Moon. And here’s the rub: a Big Whack impact would have vaporized volatile materials—especially water. Yet the glassbead game played by Saal and Hauri reveals that lots more water was left behind after the Moon formed. The discovery of “hidden” water in lunar glass calls to mind a discarded theory proposed by the late J.J. Gilvarry back in the 1950s. Gilvarry was an astrophysicist with the National Academy of Sciences and the RAND Corporation. He calculated that the Moon, with a heritage clearly linked to Earth, would have outgassed enough water to fill seas to a depth of 2 km (1.2 miles). The idea of a primordial wet Moon was popular in the early 20th century. But at the dawn of the Space Age, Gilvarry was one of the few wet-Moon holdouts. Gilvarry’s calculations regarding the behavior of water and atmospheric gases on the Moon were made with great care— they were based upon Sir James Jeans’ calculations of the amount of time it takes a planet’s atmosphere to escape into space. Gilvarry demonstrated that our natural satellite could have supported an Earthlike atmosphere and surface water for millions of years—that’s short by Earth’s atmospheric and hydrospheric timeline, but still long enough to be interesting. When astronomers today say the Moon is too small to have supported either an atmosphere or liquid water, they may need to review the math. According to Gilvarry’s data, our

or more than a century now, American city-dwellers who could afford to flee to suburbs and exurbs have done so. Long before the rise of the inter-urban trolley systems in the late 19th century, the upper-income quintiles had enjoyed summer places, but light rail lines, such as those from Rutland to the Castleton lakes, were the first to open the options to the middle classes as well. Commuter superhighways like the Long Island Motor Parkway were in place seven years before WWI, and interurban trackage, zero in 1880, peaked at 16,000 just after WWI, as private automobiles took over the task of residential removal, and the trolleys began to lose ridership soon after. At first, the urban exodus enjoyed academic approval: Ebenezer Howard wrote “Garden Cities” in 1898. Such innovative suburbs as Radburn N.J., and Forest Hill Gardens, N.Y., were fashionable destinations going into the Great Depression, and as late as the post-WWII decades Levittowns in the US and green-belt “estates” in the U.K. were applauded by most urban planners, then a brand-new discipline. Not any more; now, writers like Yale’s Douglas Rae (describing New Haven’s 19th century rise and 20th century decline) deplore “the end of urbanism” and today’s planners make much of Yonkers, N.Y., converting (with subsidy money, of course) former Hudson-River-frontage industrial acreage to young-urban-professional high-rise co-operative and rental apartments. Now, the label is “white flight” (even though the black middle class has similarly fled downtown Detroit and Atlanta) and suburbs like N.Y.’s Scarsdale and Kansas’ Overland Park are labeled “segregated” because their minority populations are less than national averages. Now, Washington proposes an-offer-municipalities-can’t-reject to fix all that. A lengthy Wall Street Journal article described the initiative early last week–the sub-head reads “…Sending Warning to Local Governments that get Federal Aid” and late last week the New York Times followed up with a description of Washington’s success in imposing a similar requirement on Yonkers starting in 1980, demanding not only more mandatory housing for low-income minorities but more public school integration as well. As the WSJ wrote but the NYT did not, the new low-income minority target population levels are at least 3 percent black and 7 percent Hispanic. Neither Scarsdale nor Overland Park would pass, nor would a single one of the 251 towns and cities in Vermont. N.Y.’s Westchester County has just surrendered, signing on to build 630 housing units in places (like Scarsdale and the Clinton pied-a-terre Chappaqua) which don’t presently
SATURDAY August 29, 2009 Moon, a dwarf planet of sorts, could have retained an appreciable atmosphere long enough for it to act as a “lid” on surface water. An intriguing footnote: Gilvarry employed Baldwin’s curve of crater depth-diameter values alongside U.S. Atomic Energy Commission crater data gleaned from the “Ivy Mike” fusion-device test in the Marshall Islands in 1952. Why? Well, while most of the Moon’s highland craters fit Baldwin’s depth-diameter curve for impact craters formed on land, the shallow slope lunar maria (the so-called “lunar seas”) matched Baldwin’s depth-diameter curve of a typical impact crater formed in deep water. According to Gilvarry, the maria profiles looked a lot like the underwater crater that marks ground zero of the “Ivy Mike” shot. (The explosion vaporized the Marshall Islands atoll of Elugelab and left behind a 6,240 feet wide submarine crater.) Gilvarry might have relished the irony of demonstrating that Galileo’s misnamed “lunar seas” may actually have been formed in ancient lunar seas. All that aside, there’s no hard proof that the ancient Moon had an extensive hydrosphere as Gilvarry proposed. Yet, Saal’s and Hauri’s water-rich Apollo glass beads may prompt a few scientists to revisit a long lost lunar theory of the 1950s that went out of fashion alongside Detroit’s auto mobile tailfins. What’s in the Sky: Look for the red planet Mars in the constellation Gemini. It “climbs” in the east along the ecliptic early in the morning Saturday, Aug. 29.

meet the diversity standard. In the 1970s, the Pennsylvania suburb of Mt. Laurel managed to meet its requirement by building in nearby Camden NJ, but such evasion and avoidance won’t be tolerated any more. The NYT article mentions some of the failures of the Yonkers school initiative, but none of the overall history, nor even the precedentsetting 1977 court-ordered Kansas City school integration campaign which triggered unprecedented bussing, “magnet-facilities” construction, tax increases, and then white flight out of Kansas City to Overland Park, but there’s an enlightening discussion of the Yonkers experience regarding “white flight” in Raymond Wolter ’s 1996 book, “Right Turn”. In 1970, before the Federal housing and school initiatives started, Yonkers had 204,000 citizens and a range of industry including Otis Elevator. Minority population was about at the national average at 12 percent. Population bottomed at 188,000 in 1990, and is now up to 199,000; with more minority in-migration, that percentage is now 43. Wolter ’s focus is the schools; here are two quotes from Chapter 18, page 382: both discuss the specific factors triggering white flight, which, he argues, are more behavioral- than race-based. The first recites statistics to illustrate that there was “…much more flight if the test scores of the [incoming] black students were especially low, or if the blacks came from the so-called underclass…’ and the second related flight to “…certain types of [incoming] black students, students who were academically slow, physically intimidating, or so disruptive that teachers had to devote more time to discipline than to instruction” . These are behavioral rather than ethnic characteristics, and they’re just the sort that the Burlington school administration plans to distribute widely through all its buildings rather than just a couple, through an initiative called “socio-economic status integration”. Wherever they’ve been ordered into place by the Feds, on pain of loss of Federal funds, they’ve caused middle-class flight, both white and black, simply because there are wellknown underclass behaviors which middle-class parents don’t want their own kids “sharing” in pursuit of diversity. I’d guess that when ordered on Scarsdale and then, maybe, on Cornwall and Weybridge, they’ll produce the same result. There is an alternative, pioneered by little Hillsdale College in the 1970s: decline the Federal funds and run your operation as you wish. The Hillsdale Paradigm may yet see wider application.

John Gutman, chief executive officer for the Benefits Alliance, presents a $10,000 gift to Bob Thorn of the Counseling Service.
Counseling Service receives $10,000 grant Thanks to a generous grant of $10,000 from the Benefits Alliance, the Counseling Service of Addison County is launching a new Employee Wellness Center in the lower level of its new building at 109 Catamount Park in Middlebury. John Gutman, chief executive officer for the Benefits Alliance, presented the check to Bob Thorn, CSAC’s executive director during a luncheon in the Community Room at 109 Catamount Park. The vision for the Employee Wellness Center is to provide a dedicated space to support healthy movement and strength training for agency staff during the work day. The goal is to reduce injuries and illness, and control health insurance costs for the agency. The Counseling Service, like
many other organizations and businesses, has struggled with steadily-rising health insurance premiums. Through initiatives like the new Wellness Center, the agency hopes to create a culture in which healthy choices are valued and rewarded, and the need for expensive medical treatment is reduced. The Benefits Alliance, based in Montpelier, helps businesses, nonprofit organizations, and schools create cost-effective and employee-friendly health benefit plans which promote the concept of shared responsibility for health. The Alliance’s grant will provide seed money for the Counseling Service’s Employee Wellness Center, and additional funds are being sought from other sources.

The Chittenden County Quadricentennial History Mystery is free and open to Vermonters and visitors of all ages. All the historical societies in Chittenden County joined in preparing a History Mystery brochure which contains 18 riddles, one for each city or town in Chittenden County plus Buel's Gore. Since not all towns in the county have a historical society, the librarian, town clerk, or an interested resident participated. The riddles have clues that challenge "History Detectives" to find the answers. They are in places that are accessible 24/7 and do not require admission or parking fees. A Charlotte riddle was submitted by Sherrie Simmons, a Hinesburg riddle by Jean Miner, a Shelburne riddle by Colleen Haag, and a St. George riddle by Lori Ring. Some riddles are easy and some are hard, but they all require using the computer atop your head and being attentive. It is a fun way for people to learn some things about Chittenden County history that they didn't know before and, hopefully, encourage them to learn more. And, there's a lot to be said about the "rush" one gets upon finding an answer. Brochures can be picked up at local libraries, town clerk offices, senior centers, and some local stores. Completed brochures must be returned by September 1st. All those with correct answers will be placed in a drawing for 18 donated prizes from each of the communities. The drawing will be held on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 2 p.m. in the Community Room of the Burlington Police Dept. (next to Battery Park). It's not necessary to be present to win. For additional info call Ann at 863-5155. See www.cchsvt.org to find the History Mystery throughout Chittenden County.

Robert would fill-in on nights that the L.A. Philharmonic was not performing, and it was there that he met his first wife, Gayle Levant, the orchestra's harpist. They divorced in 1967. While playing the violin at the invitation of the music teacher of the International Children’s Center, in Los Angeles, he met his future wife, Venida, a nursery school teacher. They were married in 1970, and had three children. In 1980 Robert retired from the L.A. Philharmonic, and returned to his brother ’s internationally famous Monseigneur String Orchestra. In 1998, Robert took over the Monseigneur Strings, after Murray was killed in Shoreham in 1998. Childhood friend, colleague and L.A. Philharmonic cellist, Pete Snyder, said Korda was an upbeat, dedicated musician with a great sense of humor who loved people and the violin. "Whatever he was playing, he put his heart and soul into it," said Snyder, who said he met Korda as a teenager when they were in competing chamber music groups and became lifelong friends. Korda, who was a few years older, was a talented musician with a beautiful sound, and a great improviser, Snyder recalled. Robert Korda leaves his children, son Noah, daughter Erin and her husband Darien Lazarus, and daughter Sarah Korda, brother Jerry, sister-in-law Joan Korda, ex-wife and friend Venida Korda, with several nieces and nephews in Vermont. A celebration of his life took place Aug. 25 at the Madrid Theater in Canoga Park, Calif. Donations in his memory may be made to the Music Guild, 6022 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 203, Los Angeles, Cali. 90036 Robert Alan Korda will forever be remembered with great love by all of his family and friends.

can be a huge hardship, if not a crushing blow.” Since the Cash for Clunkers program has been put into effect, dealerships have been inundated with consumers coming in and wanting to trade their vehicles. While this has been good for business, the dealerships have to go through a significant claim process to actually get paid by the government. After submitting each individual rebate that they receive, the dealerships must wait for each one to be approved by the government before they receive payment for the vehicle. Fleming said the Better Business Bureau is encouraging the U.S. Department of Transportation and NHTSA to do everything possible to expedite the rebate application process and to streamline the paperwork for the Cash for Clunkers program. “Dealers need to be paid quickly for pending applications and it is important to assure that rebates are paid as speedily and with as little administrative hassle as feasible,” she said. “BBB is also assisting its accredited dealerships to preserve their client relationships, by offering neutral dispute resolution outreach programs.” For complaints, call the CARS Hotline at (866)-CAR-7891 or TTY at (800)-424-9153.

Tremont gets sixth win at Devil’s Bowl Speedway WEST HAVEN — Ken Tremont Jr. held off Todd Stone Sunday night to register his sixth win of the season in the 30lap 358-modified feature on Judith L. Richards Memorial Night at Devil's Bowl. The special night is held annually in honor of Judy Richards, the matriarch of the Champlain Valley Racing Association who passed away after a courageous bout with cancer. In addition to a number of giveaways, the night also includes the Red Knights Ride, a benefit for the RRMC Marrow Donor Program. Frank Hoard Sr., still looking for his first win of the season, set the pace for the first11 laps of the modified feature, but Tremont had the Rifenburgh Construction small block humming and only needed seven laps to get from his eighth starting position to second. Tremont used a restart on lap 11 to get the lead, and the rest of the field could do nothing more than watch his rear bumper for the rest of the feature. Stone, who started just behind Tremont, moved into second on lap 14, but had to be content with the No. 2 spot,and knows his reign as track champion is just about over. Vince Quenneville Jr. finished third, with Tim Laduc fourth and Ron Proctor fifth. The budget sportsman ran 50 laps, but Seth Howe didn't really need the extra distance. After taking the lead midway through the feature, he pulled away from Paul Dunham Jr. to gain his first win of the season. The first 20 laps of the feature featured a number of cautions, and almost as many lead changes. Marc Hughes led the first three laps, but Chuck Dickinson, who started on the pole, moved out in front on lap four and held the top spot until lap 16, when D.J. Brundige went out on the point. After a number of caution laps, Howe, who had started 14th, used a restart on lap 25 to get the lead, and then drove a solid race to get the victory. One of the yellow-flag victims was Brundige, who dropped out on lap 28 Dunham, who started fifth, crossed the finish line second, with Dickinson third. But Dickinson failed to pass inspection following the race, and was disqualified. That moved Jack Swinton to third, with Frank Hoard III fourth and Derrick McGrew, coming off a Friday night win at Albany-Saratoga Speedway, fifth. Fred Little outran Carl Vladyka to come away with his third win of the campaign in the 20-lap pro-street stock feature, and Mike Clark rocketed past Joe Ladd with five laps to go and drove to his third win of the year in the 20-lap limited feature.
Nathan Woodworth also made his way to victory lane on Sunday night, winning the mini/duke stock feature. Devil's Bowl will be back in action on Sunday, Aug. 23, with all divisions competing on Salute to Veterans Night, Racing will begin at 6:45 p.m. MODIFIEDS: KEN

Logger From page 6 the left of the big toe which is actually bigger than the big toe, but doesn’t have a name so I’ll call it the pointer toe because that’s what you’d call it if you figure the big toe is the thumb of the foot. I rest my foot between my big toe and the pointer toe because it’s a perfect fit, and it feels good, but I wouldn’t be caught dead in flip-flops. Call me crazy, but I don’t want to feel rubber rubbin' between my toes. I also don’t ever in my entire life want someone to know I’m within their vicinity because they’re hearing a flip-flop, flip-flop sound. I wonder. The three toes between the big toe and pinkie toe don’t have common names to the general public. They have names doctors know, but what the heck? Should we call that toe left and right of the big toe, that’s most often bigger than the big toe, the pointer toe? I can tell you I’ve never pointed with either of mine. I believe a time or two I’ve made my entire foot into a pointer, a sort of ballerina on point type foot, and pointed with it, and in so doing looked foolishly feminine, but I haven’t singled out the big toe next to the big toe as a pointer toe, per say. And what to call the toe to the left on the left foot and to the right on the right foot, of the pointer toe? The foot-bird-giving toe? You could call it the middle toe, cause middle is how we describe the alike positioned
finger on the hand, but that’s only because the middle finger has the caveat of being the bird-giving finger. If the middle finger wasn’t the bird giving finger, maybe it too, like it’s cousins the six toes between the big and pinkie toes, would be without a name. Then there’s that poor bastard toe between the middle and pinkie toes, what the hell is that toe all about other than just a toe that sometimes breaks for no reason? The ring finger toe? Is that what we should call it? Maybe call it the U.T. toe, for, Unnecessary Toe, cause of the five toes, I’d wager it’s the one we could do best without. And so feet, though brilliant, I do find you have one downfall; The three toes between the pinkie toe and big toe are, and have as far as I know, always been nameless. Unless you count lumping them all together and calling them, “Little Piggies,” which I don’t. I’ll tell you something else about feet... (But you’ll have to wait until next week. Same bat channel.)

Aging on the farm Task Force looks at Vt. farmers The "aging of America" extends far beyond urban boundaries; 25 percent of all U.S. "elders" live in rural communities, a panel recently told the Vermont Farm Health Task Force at its quarterly meeting. Those who actively continue to farm exhibit the effects of an exceptionally vigorous life combined with a lack of relevant health care opportunities and access. Seventy percent of Vermont farmers are older than age 45. Often there is no next generation waiting to take over the tractor seat. Many older farmers suffer from osteoarthritis; they tend to have a higher percentage of work-related disabilities than the general population, caused by repetitive motion and the dangers inherent to farming. Fifty percent of
older farmers lack power take off protection shields, roll over protection systems (ROPS) on their tractors, stated Karen Burke, M.D., Fletcher Allen Medical Center (FAMC), Family Medicine Physician/Geriatrics. Once a farmer is injured or disabled, he or she often lacks professional supports specific to the significant work demands and time constraints of farming. Primary care givers often become ill with stress. Companies like Home Instead Senior Care of South Burlington provide respite care and light housekeeping to relieve primary care givers, whether the person receiving care has fallen or received an injury -- or suffers from a chronic condition, Patrice Patrice Thabault, its director, shared her perspective. Rather than waiting for a crisis, individuals should plan ahead of time, setting up a power of attorney or

living will. Musculoskeletal issues are the number one problem for farmers, said orthopedist Dr. Philip Trabulsy, Hand Rehabilitation Center, FAHC, South Burlington. Farmers may have non-trauma type issues: ligament, tendon, nerve, carpal tunnel, and pinched nerve. Key health issues are bone health and joint pressure, exacerbated by being overweight. "As we age, we lose the ability to know where our feet are," pro-preception, or spatial awareness," he described. To improve balance, he recommends tai chi or yoga. Getting proper sleep helps prevent injury too. He recommends alternative therapies for chronic pain. Many farmers benefit from ergonomic improvement for equipment that minimizes mechanical vibrations. Not taking frequent breaks, a factor that adds to their problem; they "need more prevention." Veteran farmers Conrad and Jessie Orr of Orwell presented their views on farming and growing older. Married for 53 years, both have diabetes and other physical ailments. Conrad wore out his first hip replacement in six years. Health professionals may lack knowledge of “farm ways,” Jessie Orr said. The idea of “taking a short break is a joke. They say you should sit down for a meal; if you're on the tractor, you're sitting down." There are a lot of positives about farm life, she noted. "The farm is a good place to raise children." In general, farmers have a low rate of heart disease and are less likely to smoke than non-farmers. The rate of obesity among farm families is no higher than the national average. Health professionals also fail to understand the farm work ethic, said Kathy Mason, University of Vermont Extension vocational rehabilitation counselor, Rural & Agricultural VocRehab. More than likely, they fail to grasp the concept that, to a farmer, "back to work parttime" may be an eight-hour day. The Vermont Farm Health Task Force is a consortium of medical professionals, agriculture professionals, agency leaders, and others concerned about farm health and safety.

10th Anniversary for Best of Gymkhana
T
hank you to all our loyal sponsors, riders and spectators for helping us to make it to our 10th anniversary this year. I can honestly say when this show was conceived back in 1999 that I was planning on being in it for the long haul and to be honest, my personal goal was to get to #10 and consider passing the baton on to someone else! As I sit here on the verge of what was to be my last year organizing the show I find myself still in love with the sport, glad to be putting on an event that draws riders Heidi Littlefield from all over the northeast and Canada and proud of all we have accomplished over these years. Besides, I haven’t been able to find what I consider a suitable replacement…not to be confused with “I am not replaceable”. I am sure there are several people out there that could do the job better than I could but to date they have not stepped up to the plate and made themselves known to me. My dilemma is this…they need to be hooked up with media somehow so they have the connections to find sponsors and to be able to promote the show through several media. They need to be good at begging as I am not above groveling in order to get donated money and prizes. They must be detail oriented as there needs to be a paper trail a mile long to substantiate every cent spent. You have to be able to multi-task as there are many things to do all at once, from getting rider books printed and mailed to keeping track of entries…then there’s getting all their tickets in the mail in August. This doesn’t count riders signing up then having to withdraw for whatever reason and you getting them their money back. We also do a rider & worker thank you gift bag for all 60 people and I spend quite a bit of time picking out just the right items to make the gift WORTH giving…and getting. Then there’s picking out a specialty item from the fairgrounds for each of them…and the icing on the cake is PACKING the bags. Try laying 60 bags or buckets out on your lawn with who knows how many boxes of product and items and stuffing them all! I do have help for that, for some unknown reason Shirley really gets into that part of the gig…thankfully for me. I know that nobody sees all the “fun” stuff that takes place in order to put this show on but I would be more than willing to show someone! If you know anyone who reads through this list of duties and says “I think I can do that” then just send them my way…until then, it looks like you’re stuck with me. I would like to welcome a new sponsor to the show, Pyrofax Energy. This year we had a specialty item for all the riders and workers…a cute cowboy boot mug which contained horse treats for the horse and candy for the rider. They gave me the cash to put this neat little item together. Hopefully both horse and rider will enjoy it’s contents and the mug will be a reminder of the show and Pyrofax’s participation. Great container for pens or what have you long after the contents are consumed. Another new sponsor is Farm Family Insurance. We had our third place sponsor from last year drop out and Farm Family stepped in to take the spot. Remember Farm Family insures more than just farms so think of them when you have the need to insure your property, farm or animals. Arrowhead Construction/Team Arrowhead is back again this year to give away another $1,000 in prize money to the winner of the Barrel Race. In the economy we’ve been facing I truly appreciate all my sponsors but especially Chris Flanigan’s commitment to this show. Thank you to WOKO for helping to fund the first place award of $1,000 along with the Eagle newspaper, my employer. Depot Home & Garden and Poulin Grain are our official grain sponsor for the second place prize of $500. I already mentioned Farm Family Insurance with the third place award of $350. F.E. Hart Fence has been with us from the beginning I think, for the second place award of $250. The Tack Box, under new management, is our fifth place award sponsor of $150. Last but not least is the sponsor of our special event the Rescue Race with a cash donation of $200 per winner of our two person team event. Speaking of Rescue Race…you have to see this event. Many people come just to see that one event. We have some pretty unbelievable riding going on for that one race and although it’s at the very end of the show it’s worth waiting for! Ask anyone who’s seen it and they’ll tell you the same thing. If the weather and daylight hold out we are planning another special event…again, another team event that is back by popular demand but we are going to wait and spring that on people the day of the show…have to keep some things a surprise! Special thanks to the volunteer staff from NWRDC who man the show. Shirley Langlois, the assistant superintendent of the show spearheads the task of organizing the ring crew and I am eternally grateful for her diligence to oversee that and several other things I’ve asked her to do. We have many in-part sponsors (see the show flyer) who contribute $100 to help fund the show and I wish to thank each and everyone of them. Hope you make it to the show on Sept. 4th at noon. Go to the ring on the backside of the fairgrounds, free admission to the show. Take the fair in for a few bucks more, eat some grease and enjoy the last days of summer, heaven knows we haven’t had much of one this year.

No matter what classes they are training for, riders preparing for competition inevitably become very concerned with teaching their horses to bend. "Bending," they will explain, is the curving of the horse's body from nose to tail as he follows the line of a turn or circle. Intense effort, and much time, is spent on bending. Horses are longed and ridden in circles daily to teach them to bend properly, and riders concentrate hard on learning how to prevent a horse from dropping his shoulder in or swinging his hindquarters out. Very often a rider finds that a horse will bend on way but not the other, or resists bending altogether. In these cases strong measures are employed, such as very tight side reins or powerful draw reins, to force the horse to bend in one direction or the other. Yet even with all of this time, effort, and concentration spent on bending, it remains a source of trouble and frustration for countless horses and riders -- sometimes for years on end. The trouble lies not with the horses, but with the terminology -- because horses don't really "bend" at all. Whenever a horse makes a smooth, tight turn, he appears to be curving his entire body to follow the line of the turn. When turning to the right, for example, his nose points to the right; his neck is strongly curved to the right; he leans to the right; and even his tail can be seen to point to the right. But a closer look will reveal that even though a horse does bend his neck and his tail when making a turn, his body doesn't bend at all. Experiments have been done using white horses with a strip of black tape placed down their spines. When these horses were pulled around in the smallest, tightest circles possible, overhead photos clearly showed that while the neck and tail were strongly curved, the spine itself remained absolutely straight. Horses don't bend in the middle any more than an automobile bends in the middle when it follows a tight turn in the road. With both the car and the horse we get the illusion of bending, as each one turns either its tires or its head in the direction of the turn, but that's all it is -- just an illusion. What we refer to as "bending" to the left or the right is actually the horse shifting his weight onto his two left legs or his two right legs. In order to make a smooth turn to the right, the horse must be carrying his weight shifted onto his right legs. If his weight is shifted onto his left legs but the rider tries to make him "bend" sharply to the right, the horse will find it impossible to do this to his rider's satisfaction. This is because if a horse is carrying his weight shifted firmly onto his left legs, he will also carry his head and neck more or less to the left. This is what the rider sees and invariably describes as "bent to the left." But most important, the horse's left hind leg will be flexed at its three joints -- the hip, the stifle, and the hock -- to lower it slightly and bring it up under the horse's body, accepting the weight that has been shifted onto it. The horse is now traveling comfortably on a circle to the left. His weight is on his left legs, his head and neck are curved to the left, and his left hind leg is flexed and lowered more than his right hind leg. Now his rider suddenly attempts a change of direction, as in a figure eight, and tries to force the horse to "bend" to the right. Because this rider does not understand that she is really asking her horse to shift his weight from his left legs to his right legs, she asks for the "bend" by pulling his head hard to the right -- possibly with draw reins -- and using her right spur in order to "wrap the horse around her leg" and force him to curve his body in the middle. But because he has not been prepared for the change of direction, the horse's right hind leg is not prepared to flex, lower, and accept the shift of his weight. Therefore, the horse responds by throwing his weight onto his right front leg -the only place it can go. If the horse continues to hold his head and neck to the left, which will be his natural tendency in this situation, the rider may say he is "popping his right shoulder." The horse's hindquarters will come too far to the inside. If the rider manages to force the horse to curve his neck to the right, after the horse has thrown his weight onto his right front leg, the rider will say that the horse is "dropping his right shoulder." The stiff, lightened hindquarters simply bounce along behind and swing to the outside as the horse pivots on the heavily loaded right front leg. The cure for these faults lies not with draw reins, spurs, and endless hours of longeing and riding, but with the rider learning to prepare the horse to correctly shift his weight. Even horses who are described as "supple," and can easily swing their heads right or left as far back as the rider's stirrup, have been taught nothing about shifting their weight from one set of legs to the other.

Bending From page 12 neck has nothing to do with making a correct circle. Some of these horses even learn to evade their riders by curving their necks one way while traveling in another -- the fault known as "rubbernecking." The rider must concentrate not on the horse's neck but on his hind legs. These are affected and controlled by the rider's weight, specifically by the two seat bones. The seat bones feel like a pair of sledrunners beneath the rider when she sits correctly with her hips pulled up straight and the inside (not the back) of her thighs against the saddle. To cue the horse to shift his weight to the left, for example, the rider must sit with her own weight shifted slightly onto her left seat bone. Her left leg will be drawn back and used to tap or squeeze the horse's side, further activating the left hind leg and encouraging the horse to draw it up under him and accept his weight. When preparing to change direction to the right, as in our earlier example, the correct method would be for the rider to shift her weight first onto both seatbones so that the horse can travel with his own weight carried equally on both his left and right pairs of legs. Then, after a stride or two, the rider will shift her weight onto her right seatbone and use her right leg to activate the horse's right hind leg. Only then will she ask for the change of direction. Of course, the more highly trained and athletic the horse, the fewer strides will be needed for him to correctly shift his weight. The only job of the hands is to tip the horse's nose slightly to the inside, toward the direction of the turn, to keep the horse from "popping" his shoulder. The outside rein is used to prevent the horse from turning his head too far to the inside and "dropping" the shoulder. It is vital, however, that the rider use her hands only after she has shifted her weight and while she is using her leg. Shifting the horse's weight, or "bending," is always done from the back to the front -- never from the front to the back.

Fall tune-up: Preventing & Treatment of Autumn occuring parasites By Marcia King Special to New Market Press Autumn is a transitional time of year for most of the US. Pastures start dieing down, shorter days and cooling temperatures are a prelude of the winter chills yet come, and numerous animal and insect species migrate to gentler climes or head into dormancy. However, some horse-troubling insects and parasites remain or become active during the autumn; unchecked, they can be an annoyance, stress a horse's energy reserves during the winter months, or cause illness or death.

SMALL TRONGYLES Although less pathogenic than large strongyles, small strongyles parasites can cause weight loss, diarrhea, constipation, colic and occasionally death. "During warm weather, horses can pick up small strongyles larva from blades of grass," Dr. Cheney says. "In the fall as the weather becomes cooler, small strongyles become inhibited in the large intestine. When the weather become more favorable, all these inhibited stages develop at one time, producing large massive damage to the wall of the large intestine." In the gulf coast region, it appears that few small strongyle larvae are transmitted during the hot summer; transmission usually doesn't occur until the autumn when temperatures cool and larvae are better able to survive, so strategic treatments are

The most common autumn-troubling insects and parasites are bots, flies, mosquitoes, horse lice, winter ticks, and small strongyles. BOTS are among the most familiar and widely distributed equine parasites in the US. Explains Lee Townsend, PhD (entomology), Extension Entomologist, University of Kentucky, "Horse bots are honey bee-sized flies that dart around and glue their tiny eggs or nits to body hairs of horses, donkeys and mules. Most of the egg-laying is done during August and September but may continue until the first hard frost." Eggs of the common horse bot may hatch within five days of incubation. The newly hatched bot larvae then enter or are taken into the mouth. "After spending about three weeks in soft tissue of the lips, gums, or tongue, the bots then migrate to the stomach or small intestine where they use sharp mouth hooks to attach to the lining of the organ," Dr. Townsend says. "Bots spend about seven months there, where they can damage the lining of the stomach or small intestine, interfere with the passage of food, or cause other gastrointestinal disorders." Bot eggs themselves can be seen on the horse's coat. Clinical signs of bot infection are vague, states John Cheney, DVM, Associate Professor, Head of Parasitology Section and Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Colorado State University. "Horses don't do as well, they may have a rough, dull hair coat. Death from bot infection is very unusual unless a large number of bot larvae are found where the stomach empties into the small intestine." Adds Dennis D. French, DVM, Professor, Veterinary Science, Louisiana State University, "The ulcerative lesions caused by the bot larvae attachments in the stomach are quite similar to those observed via endoscopic examination of horses with ulcers only. This may be a source of confusion in diagnosis and eventual treatment for these similar, but separate diseases." "Bots definitely should be controlled in the fall," emphasizes Cheney. "You need one treatment in the fall and then a second bot treatment about three to four months later as the eggs on the hair of the horse are viable up to 100 days. In the past, owners were told to wait a month after the first killing frost and treat. But necropsies on some of these horses that died [from other causes] showed bots in the stomach despite the deworming. So, two dewormings are almost essential to get good control." Greatest control is via equine deworming products labeled for horse bots. "Ivermectin, the active ingredient in products such as Eqvalan, Zimectrin, and Protectin 1, controls bots and other internal parasites," says Dr. Townsend. Moxidection is also effective bots. "But the drug must be dosed correctly at the correct weight of the horse to k ill all the bot larvae," Dr. French notes. "Clipping hairs that harbor eggs is not a practical solution for these pests," warns Townsend. "Sponging warm water (110 to 112 f) on areas of the forelegs where nits are attached may stimulate some eggs to hatch and the small larvae can then be washed off; this is of limited value and must be repeated frequently because new eggs are attached daily while flies are most active."

Parasites From page 14 delayed there until the weather cools later in the fall or winter. Small strongyles prevention only works during the inhibitive states, so treatment should be initiated in the autumn when the pasture starts to die down and the weather becomes cooler. Dr. Cheney recommends administering fenbendozole (Pancur) daily for five days to kill inhibitive stages. Regular dose rates of moxidectin at regular dosage also has action against some of the encysted larvae, says Dr. French.
MOSQUITOES In temperate and warmer regions, mosquitoes remain active throughout much of the autumn. Mosquitoes can cause itchy skin, and encephalitis viruses (including the West Nile Virus). "In some areas of the country, encephalitis viruses are a big threat in the late summer and early fall where there is increased rainfall," notes Dr. French. "The rainfall allows mosquitoes to proliferate." Most horses that contract encephalitidies suffer permanent neurologic damage. While there is currently no prevention for EIA (although EIA horses may be tested in order to reduce exposure to other horses), eastern and western equine encephalitis can be prevented by vaccinating horses one month prior to the mosquito season followed by a booster six months later if residing where mosquitoes are present for much of the year. There is also a new vaccine for West Nile Virus. To reduce mosquito hatch, eliminate sources of standing water -- old tires, lids, sheets of plastic, cans, etc, -- where mosquitoes breed and develop. Stock tanks with mosquito fish, which consume mosquito larvae. One may also apply mosquito repellent daily; however, Dr. French warns that sprays are "very ineffective in protecting horses during periods when ambient temperatures are high and horses sweat. The sprays simply do not stay on the horse. "One old-time remedy that seems to have a small effect in reducing insect bites is to add vinegar to the drinking water," says Dr. French. "This apparently changes the odor emanating from the horse, leading to reduced bites." He recommends a ratio of one-cup vinegar to three gallons of water. Avoid exposure by keeping horses stalled at dusk and dawn.
FLIES As with mosquitoes, certain types of flies remain active through the fall, depending on region. "Horse fly bites can really annoy horses and cause tremendous reactions to horses that are sensitive to their bites," Dr. French says. "Horse flies have also been documented to transfer EIA from an inapparent carrier to naive horses." EIA affected horses become lifelong carriers of the disease; the disease itself may be progressive and fatal. Horn flies are bloodsuckers causing scaly scabs on the horse's belly. Face flies can feed around the eyes of the horse, causing con-

"We don't really have a very good fly product for prevention," says Dr. Cheney. "Pyrethroid ear tags for cattle, which release insecticide over a two-month period, can be hung from the halter to repel face and horn flies feeding around the head or insecticidal strips can be braided into the tail to help repel flies." Alternatively, topical solutions can be applied per label instructions but they are not long-lasting and, as noted previously don't remain long on sweaty horses. Adding vinegar to the drinking water, as described above, may help. Dr. French suggests keeping horses stalled during the day reduces exposure to flies.

WINTER TICKS Winter ticks (also known as horse ticks or elk ticks) are very common in the western US. "They can cause ulcerated lesions, unthriftiness, slow loss of blood and, in large enough numbers, cause anemia," Dr. Cheney says. "They can actually bleed a horse to death." Engorged female ticks are about the size of a thumbnail, ticks are large enough to be seen on the horse, and they usually attach in bunches. They are transmitted from host to host. While there are no good tick preventions, reduced stocking density minimizes transmission. A variety of tropical sprays can be used to kill ticks per label instructions. Repeated treatments will be necessary. "If the owner just has a few horses, a hand-pump garden sprayer works fine," Dr. Cheney says. "But if you have a lot of infected horses, you'll have to use a power spray or something similar. There is some evidence that ivermectin will kill ticks, but it's a very slow kill and you have to repeat the treatment often during the tick season."
HORSE LICE Although less common due to the use of ivermectin, some lice can still present problems in horses. While blood sucking lice are controlled by systemic parasiticides, chewing lice are not and can be a problem in herds. Lice are "generally not the cause of debilitating conditions but cause added stress during the winter as an energy drain," Dr. Townsend states. Lice can also cause rubbing, itching, scratching, hair loss and, in sufficient numbers, anemia. "Horse lice is easily introduced into a herd or picked up where horses are bunched together," Dr. Townsend says. "They can be kept out of closed herds but are easy to acquire with purchased animals or at events where many horses are brought together -- rented pastures, etc." Lice are visible on close inspection and detectable during routine grooming. To prevent lice Dr. Townsend recommends newly purchased horses should be treated with an insecticide and kept isolated from other horses until the treatment course is completed. Regular deworming with ivermectin may also reduce lice infestations, Dr. Cheney believes. "Although ivermectin is not labeled for lice control in horses as it is in cattle, the incidence of lice has dropped considerably since the introduction of ivermectin deworming programs. "

Chewing & Cold Weather By Marcia King Green Grass Syndicated Features Does your horse have unexplained, occasional cravings for woody snacks? Gourmet items such as Fence Board FlambÈ, Stall Door Surprise, and Tree Trunk Tantalizers? If so, it could be the weather! Explained Wayne Loch, PhD (animal science), associate professor of animal science, University of Missouri-Columbia, "When it's cold, there is often less grass, and if people don't feed enough hay, then horses will definitely chew on wood if they don't have enough roughage. Horses depend upon fermentation from the digestion of roughages to keep them warm in the winter. If they're short on roughage and it's cold, they may chew on wood." Gary Heusner, PhD, extension service equine scientist, University of Georgia, noted, "Here in Georgia in January and February when the weather is its coldest, we get a lot of calls about horses chewing on woods and trees. Although not totally conclusive, we believe the dampness softens up the wood. The fact that it's colder, the horse has a little higher requirement for energy to maintain body heat, so they go to chewing on wood that's been softened up and gives them a source of fiber." Additionally, cool season forage may not provide roughage, as it's high in moisture content and low in fiber. The solution? More hay. "We suggest owners provide all the hay they can and see if that doesn't eliminate the chewing," said Dr. Heusner. "We've also found that these cool season grasses and some of the hays are low in potassium. In that case, we recommend more potassium in the diet to see if that alleviates the wood chewing. Most of the time, once it starts warming up and the grasses get a little more growth and fiber content to them, and the wood isn't as soft from the wetness, these horses stop chewing." But cold weather doesn't just affect appetite changes; it can also affect behavior. Cold weather, especially when combined with wind or with a sudden downward turn in temperatures, can make a horse a little more flighty. "When it's colder, horses feel better and like to play a little bit more," Dr. Loch said. "They're more energetic." Dr. Heusner says that may be due to a couple of factors. "It could be that when a cold front moves in, their nutritional requirements to maintain body temperature, changes and we don't allow for that change in their diets." Throw in a little extra wind, with all the extra noise and movement of bushes, branches, weeds, blowing items, etc., and you've got a horse that's more likely to spook because

of the extra motion and commotion. If your horse acts up when it's cold and windy, back off if you can. "If I'm trying to train such a horse," said Dr. Loch, "I just forget it for that day. It's hard getting their attention and you might not get much done anyway." Marcia King is an award-winning writer specializing in equine, pet, and veterinary topics.

Summer program conquers TAM: the Trail Around Middlebury Back at the start of summer, Mary Johnson Summer Program staff leaders Kim Stanley and Sabrina Butterfield stopped into the Addison County Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center at the Painter House in Middlebury. As they had done previously, they came to pick up TAM—Trail Around Middlebury—maps, only this time they had a specific mission in mind: They intended to have their summer program campers hike the whole TAM and record their adventures. Program Director Tena Bougor and Kim Stanley explained, “Our goal for the pre-teen group was for the kids to view this as a club, not a traditional "child care". We as a staff are very aware that child obesity is a real threat to the nations health, and many children do not have an opportunity to explore the natural world. We live in an area that is intrinsically beautiful with very accessible trails, the jewel of which is the TAM. Staff hiked it prior to the program and found it to be doable in sections with occasional bus support. Combine all these factors and the idea of our group being a "hiking group" was born. So over the course of the summer we tracked our progress with a color coded map and key. The children also created a journal with the idea of leaving it at the Chamber of Commerce as a permanent reference for future hikers. The camp hikers became a community as a result of this shared experience and a little more physically fit.” Through the summer, the group would take on different portions of the TAM each week, much with the help of ACTR buses providing transportation, and would record their thoughts and experiences. Once they hiked the entire distance, Kim made arrangements with the Chamber to come present their journal to Information Specialist Marguerite Senecal so that she could share it with future TAM hikers. When asked about their experience several of the 10-12 year old participants offered the following; Ryan Miller- “It felt really good to accomplish hiking the whole TAM”, Katie Larocque- “It was arduous, but equal to the pain” and Travis Norris said “You can do anything you set your mind to”. Staff Rec. Assistant Tim Lueders-Dumont stated “I feel like a new man”, Co-Staff Leader Sabrina Butterfield said “Hiking the TAM was enjoyable and achieving our goal was wonderful, forming life-long benefits” and finally Co-Staff Leader Kim Stanley offered “Setting this goal for our group was ambitious and took preparation and support from Director of School-Age Services Anne Gleason, our staff, parents and kids. Accomplishing it was brilliant, both in the journey and the acquired goal. Kids need experiences with nature.” Participants in this program also included, Rec. Assistants Austin Olson and Sarah Van Nostrand, Leaders-in-Training Eric Shambo and Thomas Longevin, and from the hikers, Kaitlyn Gabrioult, Ken Caul, Josh Sickles, Mara Dowd, Jessica Massota, Jen Cyr, Jessica Cyr, Tannis Cook, Wade Terrier, Molly Wetmore, Anthony Shores, Caleigh Bushey, Reilly Case, Dillon Costigan, Wes Doner, Jodeci Farr,

10 to 12 weeks. With frost approaching by mid September, prepare to cover plants at the last minute. Make sure the cover extends all the way to the ground to hold in the heat, and try to prop it above the foliage so the leaves don't freeze. Old shower curtains and sheets are handy for this, as are light fabrics available at complete garden stores sold for frost protection. The sales are on. There's still plenty of time to plant trees and shrubs. Root growth will continue into late fall or early winter, and plants won't have the heat of spring or summer to dry them out. Be sure to water well at planting time and every week until they go dormant. If you don't have a spot ready for your new additions, submerge them in the vegetable garden—pot and all. If you haven't ordered spring-flowering bulbs for fall planting, such as daffodils and tulips, you can find these this month in many garden stores. If you have deer and other wildlife, think daffodils as these wont be eaten by them.
TAM From page 17 Sondra Laroche, Rowen Hendy, Brittani Lepri, Breanna Lepri, Dillon MacDougal, Sierra Phillips, Victoria Provost, Jon Remick, Darcy Staats and Dillon Zecher. Celebrating its’ 20th anniversary, the Trail Around Middlebury, the "TAM" as it is known locally, is a major project of the Middlebury Area Land Trust. It is a 16-mile footpath, encircling the village of Middlebury and links several hundred acres of town land, conserved properties, schools, and other local landmarks. The TAM loop is complete with the construction of two bridges that span Otter Creek, made possible by generous support from the Arnold family and Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. Designed and constructed for recreational use, it is open year round for area residents and visitors alike. Middlebury Area Land Trust Executive Director Josh Phillips stated, “We’re so glad that the kids completed the whole TAM this summer; that’s quite an accomplishment! MALT is proud that the TAM provided this great opportunity for exercise, education, and achievement.”
