Vt.H ouse OKs pot bill 92-49 By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MONTPELIER Ñ The Democrat-majority Vermont House of Representatives gave final approval April 16 to a bill 92-49 that would decriminalize possession of limited amounts of marijuana. It will now move to the Democrat-majority Senate for consideration. Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell and Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn testified in favor of the proposal at House and Senate committee hearings, and Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) has also expressed support. “We hope members of the Senate will agree with their colleagues in the House and our state’s top law enforcement officials that it is time for a more sensible approach to marijuana policy in Vermont,” said Matt Simon, a legislative analyst for the Marijuana Policy Project. “There is no need to subject people to lifealtering criminal penalties simply for using a substance that is objectively less harmful than alcohol.” H. 200, introduced by Rep. Christopher Pearson (P-Burlington) with a tripartisan group of 38 co-sponsors, would remove criminal penalties for possession of up to one ounce of marijuana and replace them with a civil fine, similar to a traffic ticket. Those under age 21 would be required to undergo substance abuse screening. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Contra, square-dancing alive and well in Middlebury By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — If you’ve never been to a Quinn family contra and square-dancing event in Addison County, you don’t know what you’re missing. The Quinn family of Middlebury has been involved in the history and practice of contra dancing for several years. The activity involves singles and couples in heritage dancing with many numbers dating back to the 18th century and 19th century of England, New England, and the American west. For many farm families in Vermont during the 1800s, and through the Great Depression years, contra dancing—and even western-style square dancing—gatherings were much anticipated social events. “Contra dances were very popular in the United States until the early to mid-19th century,” according to Mike Quinn. ”Later, square dances—like the quadrille—became more popular.” By the late 1800s, Quinn noted, square dances almost disappeared, except in rural areas. Today, experts like the Quinns keep this form of lively music alive. By fostering a greater appreciation for Anglo-American folk dancing through their community gatherings, with neighborly good fun , the New England contra dancing closely resembles western-style square dancing using much of the same music.

LUCY Five year old. Spayed Female. Beagle. I am an adoring girl who loves to stare into your eyes when you rub my long ears. I enjoy the company of people, most especially when I am in
your lap. I know “sit” and I am clear about telling you when I need to go to the bathroom. I will make a nice companion for a family that wants a happy dog and I will do best in a home where people are around a lot and can give me long walks and attention. Like all Beagles, I tend to be led around by my nose and so a commitment to leash walking or a fenced in yard will be necessary for my safety. SNOWFLAKE Adult. Spayed Female. American Rabbit. Hop. Hop. Hop. Hey there. I am a fun loving little bunny who loves to eat veggies and hop around. I am a very beautiful girl with snow white fur and crystal blue eyes. I was surrendered by my owners because I was not fitting into their household. I am working really hard on becoming litter box trained and it is really going quite well. If you are looking for a delightful little rabbit like me please come down and visit with me today. TYRA One year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Torbie. I am a super sweet little girl with a motor any car would be jealous of. I am a petite little girl but what I lack in size I
make up for in personality. I am a huge love bug. When you reach down to pick me up I stand up on my back legs and stretch myself up your leg. I just love to be held and petted. I am living with other cats here in the cat rooms and getting along with them just fine so if you already have a kitty or two in your home I would love to have a friend. TIGERLILLY One year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Torbie. What’s up Tigerlilly, you ask? Well, I am a beautiful girl who is as sweet as can be. I have eyes that light up the room and will hopefully light up your life as well if you choose to add me to your household. I arrived at RCHS as a stray on March 28. Here I am living in the community cat rooms and getting along with the others pretty well. Sometimes though I just like to be by myself and I curl up in one of the baskets or on one of the shelves. But after a few minutes I am ready for action again. Beth Saradarian Director of Community Outreach Rutland County Humane Society 802-483-9171 ext. 217

Dignity and the land
hen hard times arrive, as they have for generations, some Vermonters have turned to the land for help. In this land of a thousand hills, the soil—with its ubiquitous rocks, temperate plant life and edible wildlife—has helped define our character. In modern times, the land has mattered less for ex-urban and suburban dwellers moving here, but for some poor folks this land has been their insurance policy. A few weeks ago, I watched a father and son scavenge large pieces of wood in front of a wellappointed house in Salisbury. The wood scraps they picked looked like the remains of a recently downed sugar maple tree. The tree was probably blown down during the violent wind storm of Dec. 21, 2012. The duo filled up the back of a rusty pickup truck with the free timber and then sped off to parts unknown. For the non-native property owner, I am sure the dead sugar maple was just so much worthless vegetable matter which needed to be removed from the landscape. But for father and son, this collected wood could either serve to heat the house for a week or become firewood-for-sale. A few days later, a solitary man—wearing a faded jean jacket—was walking along Route 7 north of Rutland Town picking up discarded soda and beer containers and placing them in a large, plastic trash bag. My guess is that this itinerant collector wasn’t interested in getting a jump on Green Up Day; instead, he was turning roadside trash into cash via Vermont’s Bottle Bill. So, thanks to all the lazy litter bugs traveling that stretch of Route 7, the land provides for those who would dare “harvest” it. Quaker Rowland Evans Robinson of Ferrisburgh once observed that hardscrabble Vermonters of the 19th century showed their “independence, the pure air of heaven to breathe, and the blessed privilege of daily communion with nature” in spite of their material poverty. The land seems to provide for quite a few people even though, to quote Robinson again, “if one buys an acre of land, he must buy another to pile the stones of the first acre on.” And speaking of rocks, a member of the Rutland Rock and Mineral Club told me that an unemployed man, with a knack for amateur geology, had discovered a rare deposit of beautiful quartz crystals. The outcrop of crystals occurred in a narrow, crawlable rock cavity located below the east side of Route 7 just south of Manchester. The intrepid independent miner, who worked the Route 7 site illegally, liked to don a fancy, halogen-illuminated Petzel caving helmet and begin his work after midnight. He then sold the booty to several rock collectors as well as to a New Age practitioner (who believes in the healing power of certain crystals). Of course, VTrans officials didn’t like the man digging along a busy public highway; eventually the agency installed a cement retaining wall along the road’s shoulder to discourage the illegal rockhounding activity. But, as is often the case, ingenuity triumphed over law. The miner, without ever seeking a permit, soon found a way around (and under) the retaining wall. He extracted even more spectacular crystals until finally apprehended by authorities. I guess he has a new job now—making license plates. In the case of Vermont’s legendary gold deposits, I have heard, too, that there’s an increase in gold panning activity along the Cold River south of Rutland, the Williams River in Ludlow, and famous Buffalo Brook in Plymouth—these are three well-known streams that have been produced placer gold, for those with the patience and smarts to seek it, since the 1850s. I assume it’s the economy, stupid, coupled with the rise in the price of gold that has spurred this current, albeit mini, gold rush. While I would never advocate disturbing nature, trespassing, or breaking the law to pursue an income, I do acknowledge these examples of “scavenging” the land as part of a tried and true rural tradition. Because, when all else fails, some folks will always turn to the land to survive. So, the next time you see someone collecting bottles along a road, or scavenging firewood, or panning for gold in a cold stream, don’t prejudge the person—they may not be what you think. The tradition of living off the land—no matter how lowly it may seem to comfortably employed outsiders—has helped many folks living on the margins. Better yet, it has helped many a man preserve his pride. Not everyone you meet wants, or needs, a government handout. Lou Varricchio

Fresh Air kids have lasting, local connections By Lora Gerulsky
newmarketpress@denpubs.com VERGENNES — As Marion Sullivan describes the recent reunions that have been going on in her town, it becomes clear that Vergennes has a long history with The Fresh Air Fund. Both she and longtime Fresh Air Fund host Sandy Brisson are residents of the small town in western Vermont, and the first two members of the community to welcome Fresh Air children into their homes. “We started the ball rolling,” Sullivan said. “And in the next few years about eight families in our church hosted as well. Each year we’d get together to go camping and swimming, so all the kids got to know each other.” The Fresh Air Fund is an independent, not-for-profit agency that has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Each summer, over 4,000 children visit volunteer host families in rural, suburban and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. Vergennes resident Sandy, along with her daughter Kristin, hadn’t had contact with Latoya. Latoya is Sandy’s Fresh Air Fund daughter from many years ago, in over 12 years when Kristin began hosting Fresh Air children of her own in 2011. Not having current contact information, Kristin mailed a letter addressed to Latoya’s old home in the hopes that the two could reunite after such a long time apart. Nearly two years after Kristin reached out to her Fresh Air Fund sister, Latoya stumbled across the letter while visiting her mother at her childhood home. Since then the two have remained in close contact, exchanging photos and phone calls, and hope to visit one another soon. In addition to the Brisson family getting in touch with Latoya, Marion was able to reconnect with her first Fresh Air Fund child, Felicia, through Facebook, and the two now frequently chat after over 15 years of separation. “Reunions are great,” Marion said as she shared how close she has remained with several of her Fresh Air children. “My son is getting married in May,” she noted, “and Yemaya, one of our Fresh Air Fund daughters from way back, is coming from Chicago with her husband and son to be at the wedding. We’re also expecting Andy, who stayed with us for many years and who we see every summer in New York City.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Homophobia? To the editor, Homophobia has little or nothing to do with being against the redefinition of marriage. Marriage was established for the protection of families. The benefits afforded to married people were established to support this most basic cell of society. Children are the product of that relationship and the most beneficial to a healthy society. Children need nurturing by both a mother and father. God in His infinite wisdom created it to be that way. Many would like to assign our government as our higher power. Heaven help us. Marie Dion Bristol
Thanks to Rutland volunteers

the musical renditions of his poems by Jon Gailmor and Pete Sutherland. Jerry Johnson’s inspiration for his poetry stems from the natural beauty of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, which he has called home for forty years. He states, “I couldn’t help but capture in words the beauty that I have seen around me – autumn leaves, summer rains, timeworn stone walls snaking through the woods, maple sugaring in springtime, thirty-below-zero winter days, and so much more”. Up the Creek Without a Saddle, Jerry’s latest book, is the ful-
fillment of a dream. It is the culmination of eight years work and contains 99 poems, 16 of which were set to music by Jon Gailmor and Pete Sutherland, two of Vermont’s most beloved troubadours. With books available to be signed, Brandon Music’s special performance will include readings by Jerry and musical performances by Jon and Pete. The performance begins at 7 p.m. with $15 General Admission and a pre-concert dinner special, available for just $15. Reservations are encouraged. Venue is BYOB.

College sports roundup Middlebury women’s softball team wins twin against Plymouth State
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury swept Plymouth State in a home series 4-2 and 6-1 respectively, pushing Middlebury’s winning streak to 13 in a row. Jessica Poracky owns a personal streak for Middlebury, hitting safely in 12 straight games, as Middlebury (18-6) wraps up their home schedule with a pivotal three-game NESCAC West series against Williams while Plymouth State (20-13) hosts UMass Boston in a twin-bill Little East tilt on Saturday. Middlebury hurler Neve Stearns relieved Maehr in the fifth and with the bases loaded and two outs. She calmly struck out Przybylo on three pitches, ending the threat. In the bottom half of the inning, Plymouth State added their own heroics, pulling off one of the rarest plays in softball—the triple play. With runners on first and second, Vachow hit a crisp shot to Jackson at shortstop.
Vermont Eagle - 11
and 14-0 last week in New London. In game one, the Spartans’ freshman hurler Cooper Long was touched up early, surrendering two runs in each the bottom of the first third innings to give the Chargers a 4-0 lead. The Spartan bats picked the freshman up, rallying for six runs in the top of the fifth to get Long off the hook. In game two, Castleton received a stellar pitching effort from sophomore Nate Swahn. In his first mound appearance of the season, Swahn tossed six innings of shutout baseball, allowing just five hits while fanning six Chargers. The performance was more than enough to give the Spartans the victory.

Guest Viewpoint
Math learning in serious business
I
would like to respond to Jim Callahan’s Guest Viewpoint piece in the March 22 issue of the Vermont Eagle. First and foremost, I would like to say that in my seven years as an administrator in ACSU, I have worked with the finest group of educators I have encountered in the last 20-plus years in education. Teachers and administrators in ACSU are hardworking and dedicated to the success of all students. With that said, do we have work to do? Absolutely. But by no means is there a lack of dedication or effort to continue to work toward the common goal of success for all students. Specifically, I would like to address a few points in Mr. Callahan’s “Changing the way we teach math in Vermont”. All of us working in ACSU are well aware of the challenges that await us in implementing the Common Core State Standards. Teacher professional development in mathematics has been accelerated and greatly improved over the seven years in which I have been an administrator in ACSU. In math, classroom teachers have participated in Foundations of the Vermont Math Initiative (VMI), an 80-hour mathematics content course. I quote directly from the VMI website, “At the heart of the Vermont
April 27, 2013
Mathematics Initiative (VMI) is the concept of building a cadre of K-8 mathematics teacher leaders across the state who are deeply knowledgeable in mathematics content and can apply their knowledge to improve mathematics instruction.” In addition, “The VMI is founded on the principle that strong mathematics content knowledge of teachers is prerequisite to enhanced pedagogy and higher student achievement. Indeed, the overarching philosophy of the VMI can be summarized by the adage competence leads to confidence.” Our teachers who have taken VMI epitomize that adage. In addition to the VMI professional development that has taken place across ACSU, many teachers have also participated in the Best Practices in Teaching Mathematics course developed by the Teachers Development Group in Portland, Or. The work of Best Practices includes (but is not limited to) the following: Long-term reform which spans several years (e.g. 3-5 years). The enhancement of teachers’ mathematical content knowledge, while simultaneously developing their pedagogical sense. Systemic change in a school, district, supervisory union, or on a regional basis, involving teachers, administrators, instructional assistants, parents, and other school stakeholders. The provision of modeling to ensure that participants have firsthand experiences with NCTM standards-based practices (e.g., manipulatives to develop meaningful conceptual models,
instructionally embedded assessment, questioning to elicit student thinking). I take exception to the statement, “...but teaching these teachers to teach second grade might be a better goal. Many teachers in the elementary level do not know how to teach the basics of mathematics.” That assumes that teachers have not had the aforementioned professional development and totally disregards the institutional history prior to 2012. The example offered as the way a second-grade teacher decides to teach students to add numbers is archaic and is not present in any classroom that I have had the privilege of observing. There is nothing “cute” in kindergarten math, other than the students themselves. To insinuate that we are not setting a solid foundation for math learning in the early grades is inaccurate, to say the least. An elementary math classroom where the teacher has had both VMI and Best Practices is a vibrant environment where students are becoming the math sensemakers, and where teachers are not reading from a script but are, rather, teaching the content. When students leave Middlebury Union Middle High School, 72 percent of them are proficient in mathematics. This was not the case several years ago. Student performance at the end of grade eight, and in many of the elementary schools in ACSU is significantly above the state average. That was not the case several years ago either.

Students learn science thanks to VASE funds By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — An official of VASE, the Vermont Academy of Science and Engineering, announced the awarding of six competitive equipment grants to K-12 educators in Vermont. “VASE recognizes the need to interest more students in science and engineering careers in order to support the state’s ambitious economic and quality of life goals,” according to Chris Allen VASE president . The program, Allen said, is part of VASE’s school outreach effort designed to increase student interest by providing the opportunities for direct hands-on experience “This is done so students will have a chance to experience the excitement of science and engineering in a direct experiential manner,” Allen noted. According to Allen, VASE funds are implementing several projects this school year. Notable among them are the followingÑ
•Amy Clapp of Addison Central School developed a project entitled Engineering Design Challenge: “Students in ACSU grades K-6 get the opportunity to experience the engineering design process while they are still learning content from the core science content,” Allen said. •Cindy Moesdale of the Barnet School: “Cindy and her colleagues used data from local weather monitoring stations to explain weather measurements,” according to Allen. •Bob Glennon of the Dummerston School: “Bob has his students learn to build and program a LEGO vehicle to perform tasks.” •Phoebe Guevin of Northwest Primary School: “In Rutland, Phoebe developed a project called Engineering a Pollinator to improve a plant pollinating device. •Erica Wallstrom at Rutland High School: Allen said, “Erica and her colleagues have developed a Maple sugaring unit in which the science classes collected the
sap each day and did measurements to answer questions such as how do tree type, soil salinity and pH affect sap flow.” George Raynak, Kirsten Belrose and colleagues of the Swanton Elementary School: “These instructors have incorporated a 3-D printer into classroom activities to create physical model for their science and math classes,” Allen noted. “VASE is pleased to announce a second year of competition for small equipment grants in the range of $500 to $1,000 each,” Allen said. “Proposals should present the outline of an independent, student centered project which will be enabled by the equipment in question. Student input in the design is encouraged.” Allen stressed that all proposals should be submitted by July 1 and awards will be made by Aug. 1. Interested persons are encouraged to contact Allen by e-mail at christopher.allen@uvm.edu for more details. VASE was founded in 1995 and is funded by the Vermont Technology Council.

from page 1 Under current state law, possession of up to two ounces of marijuana is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail for a first offense and up to two years in jail for a subsequent offense. Nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of Vermont voters support removing criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana and replacing them with a civil fine, according to a survey conducted by Public Policy Polling in February of last year.
