Greater Falls Serve Marks 19th Year February was the 19th anniversary of Greater Falls Serve. It marks the first anniversary of us using the Westminster Fire Station for distribution once a month.

We appreciate this so much as access and parking are so convenient. We can't thank Greg and the other firemen enough for their help in setting the tables up and taking them down, as well as their help unloading the truck.

Serve is a community service, food purchase program.

A family package contains at least four pounds of meats, potatoes, carrots, bananas and other fruits and vegetables. This package is $25 plus $1 for trucking. There are specials every month of bigger meats and convenience meals. Orders and payments are made early in the month and the food is delivered to the fire station two weeks later.

March sign-up is the 13th and pickup is the 27th.

Newspapers are available at the Westminster Town Office, the Fire Station, SEVCA and various locations around Bellows Falls.

The web site is www.servenewengland.org We accept cash, check and EBT. For more information, call Jane French at 463-4311 or Marie Benway at 463-0620

BFUHS Presents Oklahoma!

Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! will be performed by the Bellows Falls Union High School drama club on Friday and Saturday, March 12 and 13. Oklahoma! combines story, song and dance. The plot is simple, revolving mainly around the question of who will take Laurey Williams, played by BFUHS senior Sophie Gehr, to the box social – the decent Curly McLain, played by BFUHS senior Angus Gunn, or the sinister Jud Fry, played by sophomore Dylan Ward. Other lead roles include senior Sam Brissette playing Will Parker, junior Scott Martin playing Ali Hakim, senior Marion Major playing Ado Annie, and senior Codi Hindes playing Aunt Eller. The entire cast and crew is comprised of 31 students and three staff members, who have been working since the beginning of the year to put together an extraordinary production. The BFUHS spring musical is directed by Matt Burke, band director at the high school. Show times are Friday, March 12 at 7 p.m., and Saturday, March 13 at 2:30 and 7 p.m. All performances are at the Bellows Falls Union High School auditorium off Route 5 in Westminster.

GRAI Presents How to Get Kids to Love Writing Workshop On Saturday, March 13 from 10 a.m. 3 p.m. at the Great River Arts Institute at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls there will be a get kids to love writing program for parents and educators.

Although essential, writing remains elusive to many young students today.

writing exercises adaptable for youth at all levels.

The more a teacher experiences first hand this more visual, right-brained approach to writing, the more effectively they can transmit the method to their students.

The cost is $30. All proceeds from this workshop will be used to support Voices Teen Radio 2010 and free to teachers and youth workers participating in Voices.

For more information or to enroll, contact Kristen Fehrenbach at 463-3330 or openart@greatriverarts.org.

News from the Bellows Falls Woman’s Club During their Feb. 9 meeting, members of the Bellows Falls Woman’s Club heard an informative program on planning for end of life issues. Heidi Smith, of Visiting Nurse and Hospice of VT and NH, gave a well prepared presentation on steps to take now for the care you wish to receive as life’s end approaches.

She distributed forms for those who wish to put things in place, so that all who will be involved in giving care and making decisions, including family members and legal and medical professionals, will be aware of and will act upon your wishes.

Club members held their annual pound sale fund raiser at the end of the Feb. meeting and earmarked $100 of the proceeds for Haitian earthquake relief through the General Federation of Women’s Clubs and one of its partner organizations, Save the Children.

The GFWC-VT mid winter meeting was held in Ludlow on Feb. 13. Club members Barbara Comtois and Betty Haggerty attended. Barbara has been selected as the state winner of the GFWC’s prestigious Jennie Award, given biennially to an outstanding woman and club member, one who exemplifies commitment to club, to community, and to family and moral values.

News, Notes & Announcements for the Rockingham Region TriVillage Energy Meets in Walpole On Thursday, March 18 TriVillage Energy, the energy committee for the town of Walpole, NH, will host a discussion among citizens to brainstorm ways to reduce energy costs in our region. The meeting will be at the Town Hall, from 6:30-8 p.m.

It is estimated that in 2005, the Monadnock region spent a staggering $350 million on energy in our buildings and for transportation. At both the state and regional level, efforts are underway to save our community money by cutting these costs.

Last year, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services released the New Hampshire Climate Action Plan. The plan is “aimed at achieving the greatest feasible reductions in greenhouse gas emissions while also providing the greatest possible long-term economic benefits to the citizens of New Hampshire.”

Now, Cool Monadnock is creating a Regional Energy and Climate Action Plan specific to our area.

Cool Monadnock is a joint effort between Antioch New England Institute, Clean Air-Cool Planet and the Southwest Region Planning Commission.

The discussion is intended to 1) inform participants about energy saving measures already undertaken in Walpole, 2) review energy saving proposals from the NH Climate Action Plan, 3) identify which approaches participants think will work best to save energy and money in our region, and 4) brainstorm specific actions regarding how best to save money with the selected approaches.

For more information, email info@trivillageenergy.org or call 603-313-4125.

Senate Vote to Close VY Cuts 1,300 Jobs Editor, the Outlook: Re: the Senate vote to not relicense Vermont Yankee: George Clain, President of Local 300 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, said it all. “We thought this was the jobs session, not the fewer jobs session.” The Vermont Senate, with the exception of four worthy individuals (Mazza, Flory, Scott and Starr), is now on record as wanting to cut 1300 jobs and $93 million in payroll and $10 million in state revenues.

I, personally, will never take any of the “no” votes seriously again if they talk about being “for jobs,” whether they are running for governor, senator or dog catcher. They had their chance.

The Senators who voted to close VY in 2012 are riding on a wing and a prayer. No one has shown the Vermonters the plan to replace the power and, even more importantly, the jobs. These senators are supposed to represent the people and make decisions for the people.

How can closing down a major employer without an approved plan be acting in the best interest of the state? How can closing down a clean source of energy production help the state? Legislators are paid to solve these types of problems, yet they are not solving the problem, but rather creating bigger problems for southeast Vermont.

This move to close Vermont Yankee is not in the best interest of Vermonters.

Vermont Should Commercially Grow Hemp

Thank You Ludlow Voters from BRGNS

Editor, the Outlook: Let's grow hemp!

Rural Vermont successfully lobbied for a bill in 2008 that legalized hemp in Vermont, but the commercial cultivation of hemp won't be possible here or elsewhere in the US until the federal government changes its drug policy.

Why should we grow hemp? That's an easy question to answer: Hemp has a wide variety of uses; as a food source with high levels of protein, as cooking oil, industrial applications include diesel, cloth, rope, paper and more.

It is a very resilient plant that does not require herbicides or pesticides to grow. As a matter of fact, it's a good crop to rotate with corn as it helps to kill weeds, without the normally used chemicals. One would think that it would be a logical choice for a farmer to grow this crop. But no, the United States Government didn’t pay attention in biology class.

Yes, hemp is related to the marijuana plant; however it does not have the psychedelic ingredients of its cousin and cannot be used as a drug!

Industrial hemp is produced in many countries around the world. We have to import it. Why not grow it here in Vermont?

If you'd like to learn more or support Rural Vermont's efforts to bring hemp back to American soil, visit their website www.ruralvermont.org or call the office at 223-7222.

Acts of Kindness Deeply Appreciated Editor, the outlook: Recently I was in a minor car accident in Cuttingsville, and was amazed at the number of people that stopped to ask if I needed assistance. The first person that stopped was Cody Surething and his girlfriend.

As I was by myself, his girlfriend consoled me as Cody was checking to find out how he could get the car out of the ditch I was in. Cody offered to travel to Mount Holly and get a chain so that he could pull the vehicle out of the ditch.

As I was waiting, a variety of people stopped by to offer their assistance. One person stopped by with a jeep and waited with me until Cody returned. Cody returned with his friend, Andrew Taylor who coincidentally works as a mechanic at John C. Stewart and Son car dealership.

The man with the jeep offered for me to sit in his vehicle while the others were pulling my car out of the ditch. Cody and Andrew checked under the hood to ensure that the car was safe for me to drive home.

As I drove home, I noticed Andrew’s truck behind me. I don’t know if he was following me to ensure I arrived safely, however if he did I would not have been surprised at his kindness.

We don’t often hear about good news and kind people in this world, so I wanted to share my story and thank everyone who made a difference. I don’t know anything about these people except that they made me appreciate strangers for who they are regardless of where they may come from.

I encourage you to believe that every stranger you meet is as kind as these people were to me and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Mom’s Day Off Raises $6.3K

(802) 824-8100 • 2170 Route 11, Londonderry, VT 05148

53017

On Feb. 5, the ninth annual “Mom’s Day Off,” a breast cancer fundraiser sponsored by and held at Bromley Mountain, drew 420 moms and raised the hefty and record-breaking sum of $6,300. That brings the eight-year total to just over $35,000.

The notion behind the annual event is that any mom can ski or ride Bromley on “Mom’s Day Off” for $15 when they show the ticket seller a snapshot of their kids. Bromley, in turn, donates the entire $15 to the VT/NH Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the Race for the Cure people. Bromley has been a sponsor of the race since 1995.

As they have since the first Mom’s Day Off in 2002, the Chicks on Sticks, a group sponsored by the Alpine Sport Shop in Saratoga Springs, NY, arrived en masse, tipping 2010’s “Largest Team” scales in their favor by bringing 106 moms on two chartered busses. The Women of Willard made the trip from the Willard Mountain Ski Area in Greenwich, NY, bringing the next largest group, a very respectable showing of 60 moms.

News from the Springfield Family Center Thank you Springfield voters for approving our request for support of $48,000 at this year’s Town Meeting. Our Executive Director Deborah Luse acts as the Town’s Service Officer and the funding is vital to maintaining our facility so that we may provide necessary programming for the community. We appreciate knowing that we have almost a 75% approval rating from those voting.

The Family Center finds itself with too many banana boxes that it cannot use. We would like to make them available to those that might need them. Just come to the Center during regular hours and get as many boxes as you can use.

The Family Center is once again without someone that needs kitchen scraps for its pigs.

We have been fortunate to have people with pigs that could use these scraps. If you or someone you know would like to pick up these scraps on a regular basis, contact Lynn Colson at 885-3646, ext. 1001.

VAULT Program on Aerial Photography Aerial photography is tricky business, and in this case the photographer is also the pilot. Gallery at the VAULT will host a visual presentation Tuesday, March 16 from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.

Photographer Len Emery will present 60 photographs taken during his flights over Vermont's lower and middle counties. Aerials of Springfield, Morrisville, Middlebury, Rutland and many others are included.

Emery says, “All photos were taken while I piloted any one of several Cessna aircraft. There are views of many landmarks that most ground based observers don't see from a pilot’s perspective.

Among them, the Moore Reservoir Dam, the State’s capital building in Montpelier and the Shelburne Museum.”

From a desire to get his commercial pilot’s license Emery began to also use his flight time to photograph all Vermont’s counties. After a friend suggested he put his photographs into book form, Vermont From One Thousand Feet was born. You can see his work at the VAULT or visit his website at www.lenemeryphotography.com.

Gallery at the VAULT, 68 Main St. in Springfield, Vermont. Hours are Tues. – Sat. 11 a.m. – 5. p.m., call 885-7111 or visit www.galleryvault.org for more details.

Fellow Musicians Mourn the Passing of Tom “T-Bone” Wolk Story by Robert F. Smith – Editor Tom “T-Bone” Wolk passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, Feb. 27 of an apparent heart attack. He had just turned 58 in December. He’d lived in Saxtons River and in the Brattleboro area for the past 20 years.

An accomplished musician, Wolk was best know as the multi-hat-wearing bass player in the Saturday Night Live house band when it was led be G. E. Smith from 1986 to 1992, and from 1981 on he had been the bass player with Daryl Hall and John Oates of Hall and Oates fame. Hall and Oates is one of the most successful duos in rock history, with six #1 hits, 34 Billboard Top 100 hits, six gold albums and seven that went platinum. At the time of his death, Wolk continued to play regularly in concert with Hall and Oates, and was essentially co-host and guitarist on Hall’s groundbreaking monthly internet show, Live from Daryl’s House (www.livefromdarylshouse.com).

On the website, Hall posted the following about TBone’s death: To say that I am shocked is the ultimate understatement. T-Bone was my musical brother and losing him is like losing my right hand. It’s not if I will go on, but how. T-Bone was one of the most sensitive and good human beings that I have ever known. And, I can truly say that I loved him.

His death occurred just hours after a recording session with Hall in Pawling, NY, and a day or so before he was appear on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with Hall & Oates.

As an accomplished accordion player (he had been New York state champion at 13!), bassist and guitarist, Wolk worked as a session musician, music director and producer throughout his career.

A small sampling of some of the performers Wolk worked with includes some of the greatest names in modern music: Carly Simon, Shawn Colvin, Elvis Costello, Roseanne Cash, Cyndi Lauper, Harry Nilsson, Amanda Marshall, Grey Eye Glances, Paul Carrack, Diane Ziegler, Charlie Musselwhite, Jewel, Ivo, Jellyfish, Avril Lavigne, Billy Joel, Joe Pesci, Leslie Miller, John Eddie, Chynna Phillips and Eileen Ivers.

Most recently he'd worked on records by a number of new artists including N.Y. based Marianne Marino, Norway's M2M, Americana icon Emory Joseph, NY Yankees centerfielder Bernie Williams and Robert Hazard, who wrote Cyndi Lauper's hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." T-Bone was greatly admired, both on the international music scene, and also among local musicians. He was famed for an encyclopedic knowledge of music, a modest manner, his humor and his willingness to help other musicians, famous or not so famous.

John Oates posted these comments on Hall’s website: His character was pure and his unique and quirky personality touched everyone he encountered. His musical sensibility was peerless, any instrument that he touched resonated with a sensitivity and skill level that I have never experienced while playing with any other musician.

He possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of styles and musical history which he referenced to support all the artists that he played with over the years. He became our band's musical director over time, leading by example and by the deference and respect that everyone who played alongside him so rightfully accorded him. He made everyone he played with better.

So many times when I'm working on a musical passage or part, I think to myself: "How would T-Bone play this" and aspire to his level every time I perform. To this day I always keep one of his "I Love Vermont" guitar picks with me where ever I go.

I contacted several local musician friends that I knew had worked with T-Bone, and asked them to share their experiences with our readers, Scott Ainslie sent me the following: As you will hear, T-Bone was a deeply talented musician wrapped up in a decidedly kind and generous person. His loss...well, his loss is beyond the power of words to describe.

As a musician, T-Bone came into a very long and compressed session with me Every Tuesday and unloaded a truck full of at the stuff into my living room.

Though he barely knew me, T-Bone introduced me to some great people in NYC - some heavy hitters and some songwriters who were old friends of his. It was very generous of him. I worked with these people and met many more people through them, expanding my network.

T-Bone played with the superstars (a obstacles that stand between them and actually being with veritable who's who of pop and folk) but also was just as another person in the present moment. It's not a simple happy to play with great local musicians. It was all the same thing to attend to someone else. T-Bone Wolk had done a lot to him. He loved people and he loved good music.

Submitted by Lauren Potter Louise Hay's life changing book, which has taught millions of people worldwide how to help themselves, is often the first book I recommend to students who want to change their lives. It teaches self-love which is the foundation of all healing. Most disease, possibly all disease, comes from a lack of love for ourselves.

Reiki can help us see how we are “pulling the wool over our eyes” so that we have not noticed our lack of selflove. Reiki stimulates our desire to help ourselves and opens up new channels for manifesting that help. Reiki makes changing easier.

Meditating while giving yourself Reiki is an excellent method of calming stress, quieting the mind, and giving ourselves a warm and loving energy

bath that can work miracles. As the template for the body, mind, and spirit is located in our human energy field, healing our energy field is the key to healing our body, mind, and spirit.

Louise Hay's affirmations will help to reprogram your mind with loving, helpful thoughts that are loving, helpful vibrations. You can heal your energy field with this combination of Reiki, meditation, and affirmations.

Start today!

Lauren Potter is a Reiki Master Teacher Practitioner and conscious channel for angel guides. She teaches Reiki Certification Classes and “Trust theAngels” Workshops in Vermont and on the Maine coast and maintains an angel therapy practice including Reiki in two area office locations.

Proctor actually took a one-point lead into the final quarter, but the Blue Devils did not waver, outscoring the Phantoms 13-6 down the stretch to take the title away from a Proctor team that was looking to tie a state record with its' fifth consecutive state title.

In contrast, the win brought Williamstown their first state title since 1986, and they did it with a balanced scoring attack. John Burgos led the way for the Blue Devils with 17 points,

while Troy Laughlin scored 11 and both Nick Gagnon and Steve Manwaring each pitched in with nine.

Local Snowboarding In the recent Vermont high school state snow boarding Championships in Killington, the Black River High School girls and Burr & Burton boys teams captured the team state titles in the two-day event.

Equally as impressive were a brother/sister pair Calabreses, as Green Mountain Union High School's Lily Calabrese earned the overall girls' title while her brother, Rex, won the boys' title.

Lily won the slopestyle and giant slalom events to secure her title, while Rex took first place in the slopestyle competition.

Individually, North Country's Andrew Vera took second place, while Leland & Gray's James Crowther, Green Mountain's Eric Vrillo and Rutland's Justin Frybarger rounded out the top five finishes.

On the individual girls' side, Rutland's Marie Schwalbe and Marina McCoy finished in second and third respectively.

The Black River girls posted an overall team score of 108 points, while

Burlington finished in second place with 116 points. Rutland High School took third overall while the BBA girls finished in fifth.

On the boys' side, BBA took first overall with a team score of 93 points, while Green Mountain finished in second place at 128 points.

Rutland rounded out third with 150, while Leland & Gray and Black River finished in fourth and fifth respectively.

Local Alpine Skiing Talk about domination.

The Rutland High School girls' alpine ski team recently won it's fourth consecutive alpine state championship held in Hancock.

Although Rutland did not have the fastest skier, it was a true team effort in that six Rutland skiersCaitlin Bliss, Sara Fruth, Sam Boles, Amanda Thomas, Cassie Harnett and Caitlin Bucksbaum, all finished in the upper half of the GS race.

Although any Vermont high school skier can participate in the individual events, a school must have at least four skiers in order to participate in the team events.

Therefore, the more teammates you possess, the stronger your racing

times can become. Skiers are scored on two slalom runs and one GS run, with each individual's best time determining their place in the standings.

Rutland held a fairly comfortable lead over Mount Mansfield after the first day of competition, however the giant slalom runs on day two made things much tighter, with CVU, St. Johnsbury and Woodstock also in the mix.

However a team's top score is determined by adding together a teams' top four times, therefore the more teammates, the better chance at a top time. Rutland's winning team score was 109, while Mount Mansfield came in a distant second at 140 and CVU finished third at 160.

For a couple Rutland seniors including Sara Guth and Sam Boles, the title is a four-year sweep for their high school alpine careers.

A 13-member team will also be selected to participate in the Eastern Ski Championships held in Attitash, NH in midMarch.

Sox Spring Training As the days slowly get warmer, the Red Sox are finally starting to crank it

up down in Fort Meyers, FL, as they get closer to opening day.

With each spring training also comes the customary “questions about this year ’s team,”and most of them this spring training seem to revolve around the offense and how they are going to produce enough runs to keep up with the power-house line up of the Yankees.

The biggest runproducer from last season, Jason Bay, has gone to the Mets via free agency, David Ortiz is a year older and Mike Lowell will be reduced to a bench role, if he is even here at all by the start of the season.

To "replace" Bay, the Sox went after pitching and defense instead, while the front office keeps telling us fans about something called "run prevention."

You know, the “if you pitch and play defense better, you don't have to score more runs” theory.

Ah, if it only were that easy, right?

Granted, they made some good moves. Marco Scuturo is a big upgrade defensively at shortstop, Adrian Beltre is a great defensive third baseman and picking up Mike Cameron to play center

field, which also allows the fleet-footed Jacoby Ellsbury to move to left, no doubt makes this team better defensively.

However, you still gotta hit the ball and score some runs because you just can't expect your pitching to give up only two or three runs every night and have no injuries all season.

(Although when they won it all in 2004, not one starting pitcher missed a start.)

All of a sudden there is a lot of pressure for Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis and JD Drew to produce some power.

Of course, optimism breathes eternal in the spring, so if you choose to go with the Sox theory that pitching and defense will win, then the Sox could be right there in the end because with the addition of free agent pitcher John Lackey, on paper Boston clearly has the best starting rotation in the American League, if not all of baseball.

Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Lackey, Dice-K are as solid a top four as you are going to get, with Tim Wakefield and Clay Buckholtz filling in the final spot in the rotation.

Hopefully the Sox’ offense can somehow keep up.

St. Johnsbury Upsets Rutland For DI Hoop Title Story by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor Photo courtesy of Emily McManamy In a fairy tale finish, the number-12 seeded St. Johnsbury girls’ basketball did it, completing an improbable run to capture the Vermont Division I state championship by knocking off the number-three seeded Rutland Raiders, 27-24, at Patrick Gym in Burlington.

Not only was this the lowest-scoring state title game ever in Vermont girls' high school hoops, but the Lady Hilltoppers, with a 7-13 final record, are also the lowest seeded team to ever win a state championship. Quite an amazing feat indeed.

The stunning win over Rutland capped off an improbable tournament run that saw St. Johnsbury knock off number-five Rice (14-6) in the first round, number-four CVU (16-4) in the second round and then number-one Burr & Burton (18-2) in the third round before finally beating number-three Rutland (17-3) in the title game.

It doesn't get much more miraculous than that, folks.

In a defensive struggle throughout, neither team could muster much offensive flow, but when the chips were down in the waning minutes it was the Lady Hilltoppers who hit the big shots when they needed it.

St. Johnsbury jumped out to an early 9-4 lead on back-to-back threepointers from Bianca Calkins and Brittany Regis, but Rutland fought back to only trail by one point at the end of the first quarter, despite two

starters going to the bench with two fouls each.

The Lady Raiders would fight back in

the second quarter, however, and after two drives to the basket by Liz Douglass, Rutland had a one-point

lead at the half.

At the start of the second half Rutland continued to gain momentum and built a seven-point lead (24-17) at the 6:30 mark of the third quarter.

However amazingly, it would be the last points Rutland would score, as they went into a drought the rest of the way. In fact, the Raiders did not score a single point in the final 14-plus minutes of the contest.

By comparison, in the first meeting between the two teams Rutland dominated in a 15-point win.

Somehow the Raiders hung in there with some great defense of their own, but St. Johnsbury chipped away n the fourth quarter and when St. J's Molly Moran hit a jumper with just over six minutes left, they had a one-point lead.

Remarkably, there would only be two more points scored the rest of the way (two St. Johnsbury free throws) while Rutland would miss their last 15 shots of the contest. A stunning end to quite frankly, a bizarre title game, but the Lady Hilltoppers will take it!

"Someone just told me that we shut them out in the fourth quarter," St. Johnsbury coach Jack Driscoll told reporters after the win. " This just puts an exclamation point on the kind of play we have been working toward.

Our run through the playoffs has been something special. We've had tremendous support, our fans have followed us all over the state, all season."
