Firefighter to fill Flory’s seat
Three die in snowmobile accident on frozen lake
New legislator for Pittsford, Sudbury
By Lou Varricchio
PITTSFORD — In a game of legislative musical chairs, Gov. Jim Douglas announced he appointed Butch Shaw to serve as state representative from the Rutland-6 House District. Shaw will fill the seat vacated by Peg Flory, who was recently appointed to the Vermont State Senate, and represents the towns of Pittsford and Sudbury. “I look forward to working with Butch as we address difficult fiscal challenges and work to strengthen our economy," the governor said. “I am confident that he will represent the people of Pittsford and Sudbury thoughtfully and with dedication.” “It’s a great honor to represent the hardworking people of Pittsford and Sudbury in Montpelier,” said Shaw. “As a volunteer firefighter, it’s my instinct to run toward a problem, and that’s what I intend to do in the legislature.” Shaw is a resident of Pittsford, where he serves as assistant fire chief, chairman of the Pittsford Board of Civil Authority and a justice of the peace. He is a former wrestling coach at Otter Valley Union High School. Shaw owns a small electrical contracting business that specializes in installation and maintenance of traffic signals, roadway lighting, rail-highway signals and airfield lighting.
newmarketpress@denpubs.com SALISBURY — A tragic double snowmobile accident took the lives of three Whiting family members Jan. 9. The accident occurred around noon. The family members were riding on two snowmobiles, along with family members on other snowmobiles, that fell through the thin ice and cold water of Lake Dunmore in Salisbury. Vermont State Police said Kevin Flynn, age 50, of Whiting, was operating the first snowmobile. Flynn’s daughter, Carrie L. Flynn, age 24, was operating the second snowmobile with Bryanna Flynn, age 3. Bryanna was Kevin FLynn’s granddaughter. The Flynns were approximately 200 yards off West Shore Road when they broke through the frozen lake. The Flynns and Popp were later pronounced dead at Porter Medical Center in Middlebury. Foster Provencher, assistant fire chief of the Salisbury Volunteer Fire Department, was first on the scene of the tragedy. Over 25 people helped in the rescue and recovery efforts which also included helping other snowmobilers in and out of the cold water. “I grabbed a couple of 100yard ropes. Another person showed up with a ladder and there was somebody else with a roof rake,” Assistant Fire Chief Provencher told news reporters Saturday. “It was just a very, very tragic accident for some people who were out to have a good time,” Middlebury Fire Chief Rick Cole told several reporters after the accident.

On Dec. 18 Allen Hazen, age 19, of Rutland was traveling south on interstate 89 in Milton. Hazen was operating a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt in the passing lane. Hazen reported that a vehicle in the travel lane pulled out in front of him and braked. Hazen braked in an attempt to avoid a collision and ended up losing control of his vehicle, going off the right side of the road. The front of Hazen's vehicle struck an embankment and the vehicle overturned. Hazen received a shoulder injury. Two passengers in Hazen's vehicle also received injuries. Milton and Colchester Ambulance and Milton Fire responded to the scene to assist. The crash remains under investigation.

CASTLETON — Passenger train service has returned to Castleton after a 55-year-long absense. The taxpayer funded Amtrak Ethan Allen Express stopped at the newly renovated Castleton Depot for the first time Jan. 2. Luke and Molly Arno of San Francisco, Calif., were the first passengers to board the Amtrak train at Castleton. The husband and wife were returning to their home in California after visiting family in Middlebury during the holidays. "I was surprised to see everyone celebrating," Molly Arno said. "The officials treated as like celebrities. We had no idea we'd be the first passengers to board the Ethan Allen Express in Castleton." Arno, a graduate of Vergennes Union High School and Castleton State College, appears on the new NBC-TV drama series "Trauma" which is filmed in San Francisco. According to Maryann Jakubowski, owner of the depot, “We told everyone around town that today’s the first day for passenger train service in Castleton.”
Luke and Molly Arno of San Francisco were the first passengers to board a train at Castleton in 55 years. Passenger train service resumed in the town Jan. 2. Local media and residents turned out for the snowy celebration. Clearly thrilled with the “first passenger” event, Bill Hollister, an Amtrak spokesman, said, “This train station pure Vermont. Ridership on the Vermonter showed an increase but the
Ethan Allen was fairly flat in 2009; this is good news for Vermont; we're doing pretty well compared to the rest of the country." According to Jakubowski, the Ethan Allen Express will stop in Castleton, briefly, twice a day. It is hoped that more college students will
use the train to travel between campus and home. It is also easy for students to make cultural visits to New York City via Amtrak. Officials hope that a $73 million federal taxpayer grant will fund the expansion of Ethan Allen service north to Burlington.

A spokesperson for the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers, said snowmobilers are not allowed on the ice of Lake Dunmore. Spring water upwelling under the lake keeps the lake’s ice thin and unsafe during most winters. VAST will now post thin-ice warnings along the lake shore. Other details, and the names of others, relating to this tragedy were not available at press time. Six snowmobilers have died in Vermont since the start of the winter season.

Vermont closer to lowcarbon fuel standard Gov. Jim Douglas and 10 other governors in the region took the next step toward developing a regional Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) by signing a Memorandum of Understanding that commits their states to continued participation in a regional effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fuels for vehicles and other uses. “Vermont is a leader in limiting greenhouse gas emissions, but about 45 percent of our carbon footprint is generated from the transportation sector,” Douglas said. “As with the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, this partnership will help us meet our environmental challenges and encourage the creation of green jobs.” A LCFS program is a market-based, fuelneutral program to address the carbon content of fuels. This effort has the potential to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, which represent approximately 30 percent of emissions region wide. It also will help reduce regional vulnerability to petroleum price volatility and facilitate the long-term transition from petroleum-based fuels in the transportation sector. In addition, a LCFS is anticipated to spur economic growth related to development of advanced technologies and green energy jobs. The Memorandum of Understanding
signed last week is the next step in the process of developing a regional framework by 2011. Other states signing on to the Memorandum of Understanding were: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. In the Memorandum, the 11 states agree to work together to analyze low carbon fuel supply options, determine the feasibility of achieving a range of reduction goals and develop a framework for a regional LCFS in order to ensure sustainable use of renewable fuels in the region. The state will also consider the economic impacts of a LCFS program and are committed to including strong business, energy and environmental stakeholder involvement in the. The states are collaborating with the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM). The participating states have already demonstrated the success of regional emissions reduction programs with RGGI, which covers greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. A regional program to address transportation and other fuels is prudent and efficient given the interconnected nature of the fuel distribution system in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region.
Lincoln leads West Rutland By Frederick Pockette Katie Lincoln pumped in 25 points while her teammates played shutdown defense, all of which lead to West Rutland thrashing the Black River Presidents 68-17 last Frdisay in West Rutland, in girls high school basketball action. Sierra Pease contributed 19 points to the massacre while Brooke Griswold added another 13 for West Rutland, who improved to 6-3 with the win. Angie Valente had six points to pace the visiting Presidents. In other girls action last Friday the Mount Saint Joseph Mounties almost pulled off an upset, falling just three points short and losing to the Proctor Phantoms 38-35. Alex Reedy led the Mounties in their upset bid with a double-double. Reedy grabbed 13 rebounds and scored a game high 11 points. MSJ fell to 1-8 on the year. Jenn Connell and Carissa Elrick led Proctor with nine points each Things weren’t so close in Chester. Emma Lisle turned I a double-double of her own as her Green Mountain Chieftains made short work of the visiting Poultney Blue Devils with an impressive 54-20 win. Lisle poured in 20 points and hauled down 15 rebounds for Green Mountain, who improved to 8-2 with the win. Ali Jones scored 10 points for the Blue Devils, who fell to 3-6 on the year. In North Clarendon Rebecca Day scored 21 points to lead her Mill River Minutemen to a 56-39 win over the visiting Woodstock Wasps. Makayla Stone added another for the Minutemen, who improved to 4-6 with the win. Tiana Barcomb led Woodstock with 11 points, followed closely by Cheryl Poretto with 10.
In Fair Haven he Slaters had little trouble with the visiting Bellows Falls Terriers, easily routing their guests 61-15. Fair Haven‘s balanced attack was led by .Kala MacKenzie with 14 points. She was followed closely by Devyn Reed and Valerie Sawin with 13 and 11 respectively. Caleigh Jones did her work on the boards, pulling down 13 rebounds for Fair Haven, who improved to 7-3 with the easy win. Sarah Dumont led the Terriers with seven points. Green Mountain Routs CSJ In Poultney last Friday night the Green Mountain Chieftans jumped out to a 31-14 halftime, and rolled from there to an easy 6730 win over the visiting College of Saint Joseph. Emma Brinley had an amazing game for the victorious Chieftans with 17 points, 19 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. Chelsea Paul added 16 points to the lopsided win. Green Mountain improved to 5-3 with the win. Freshman forward Brittney Garrow turned in a double-double for CSJ with 17 points and 11 rebounds. The loss keeps CSJ winless at 0-8. Peoples Academy over Mounties In high school boys hockey action last Saturday, in Morrisville, Chris Hinrichs scored two goals and added a pair of assists to lead Peoples Academy to a 7-1 rout of the visiting Mount Saint Joseph Mounties. Alex Bousquet matched Hinrich’s two goals, while Wes Thompson, Ben Andrews and Alex Vilord each struck once for the 2-7 Wolves. The game could have been much closer had it not been for the efforts of Nate Allaire, who posted 22 saves. Casey Gravelle scored MSJ’s lone goal and their goalie Colton Aines turned in a strong 29 shots.

ere’s a question from a reader like you who’s learning how to use coupons to save money at the grocery store: Q: “I have to disagree with you about holding onto coupons until stores put the item on a good sale. Great idea, but as you might have noticed coupons today have a very short life span. You said grocery stores’ best sales on certain items rarely coincide with coupons available that week. I don’t believe you should hold on to coupons and wait for a better sale because the coupons will expire. Best to grab the deal when you can and use the coupon, otherwise it’s a waste of time cutting those coupons out.” A: This is one of the most common misconceptions about coupons: assuming that they expire too soon to make holding onto them worthwhile. The average coupon has an expiration date three months out. Some expire sooner, some expire later, but it’s wrong to assume that they all expire very quickly. I have coupon inserts that are more than eight months old that still have current, unexpired coupons in them – proof that it’s not only important to hold onto all of our inserts until every coupon inside expires, but also proof that not all coupons expire quickly. Using coupons the same week you get them is almost always a big mistake. Stores know exactly which products will be featured in the coupon inserts for the current week, and most stores will intentionally leave these items at a higher price. The reason? Stores know how most people use coupons. Most people will cut coupons out of this week’s paper and use them the same week. But these shoppers usually pay a much higher price on a given product, even with a coupon, than if they had waited for a better sale and then used the coupon. About six weeks ago, I received a $1 coupon with an expiration date three months out, good for a certain brand of soup. This soup was $3.29 the week the coupon arrived. If I used the coupon that week, I’d pay $2.29, still much more than I like to pay for a can of soup. But with three months’ time to watch for a better sale, I waited. And this week, the soup went on sale for $1 a can. My coupon is still more than a month away from ex-
The collapse of the "global warming" scam
E
ver since Prof. James Hansen's 1988 testimony before a Senate committee featuring Al Gore, Americans have been treated to a steady drumbeat of alarm over the Menace of Global Warming. Hansen, Gore, and a host of enviro organizations have proclaimed that human addiction to carbon combustion is causing global temperatures to rise alarmingly, and that governments must take unprecedented and desperate measures to reduce emissions. The alarmists' central argument was, and is, that a doubling of the present atmospheric concentration of CO2 will produce global temperature increases of as much as 8.6 degrees C by the end of this century. This would produce unimaginable catastrophes: droughts, flood, hurricanes, drowned coastal cities, plague, species extinction, and more. Skeptics noted that the Medieval Warm Period (900-1200 A.D.) brought better weather, improved nutrition, and a wonderful flowering of civilization. More atmospheric CO2 would spur plant growth, and warmer winters would help New Englanders by lengthening their growing seasons, reducing their heating bills, making their travels easier and safer, and disadvantaging the competing ski areas further south. The warming zealots scorned such observations. Their technique was to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on computerized climate models. The scientists who controlled both the models and the input data churned out scary scenarios aimed at terrifying politicians into approving the taxes, rationing, subsidies and penalties needed to curb greenhouse gas production worldwide. The fact that the models failed to reproduce the known temperature record of the past century gave them no pause whatever. The charlatans simply invented unobservable climactic effects that magically led to the positive feedback that assured the approach of Al Gore's Heat Death. The United Nation's climate body, the IPCC, issued periodic reports attributed to "over 2,000 climate scientists", but actually produced by a very small number sucking up millions in research dollars, plus the ever-present political flacks who actually crafted the "summary for policymakers". In 2007 Al Gore received a Nobel Peace Prize for his films and lectures, that were so bad that a British court held that they could not be shown to schoolchildren without correction of the nine glaring scientific errors contained therein. Gore shared the prize with the IPCC itself. All the while the warmists were conspiring to deride any scientist who failed to buy into the warming hysteria. They denied them space in scientific journals, kept them off of conference agendas, and shouted "the science is settled" whenever skeptics raised an objection. But the Earth refused to cooperate. Since the El Nino temperature spike of 1998, the computer predicted global warming failed to appear. Just as the critics had said all along, the climate
models are billions of dollars worth of rubbish. In mid-November unknown persons hacked into the files of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, one of the leading research centers that the IPCC relied upon for its scary predictions. This brought to light over three thousand email messages among the most prominent scientists engaged in this scam. In them the conspirators discussed how they falsified the models to "hide the decline" and preserve the threat of Al Gore's Heat Death. They discussed keeping dissenting science out of prestigious journals and, it turns out, reported that they had deleted some raw data used in their modeling before anybody used the Freedom of Information Act to review it. Now scientists not in on this scam have begun to penetrate the data. In the leading instance, Darwin Zero from North Australia, they discovered that the CRU "adjusted" the data not just to allow for relocating weather stations, but by simply adding degrees to make cooling trends into warming trends. Wrote one Australian scientist, "they are indisputable evidence that the 'homogenized' data has been changed to fit someone's preconceptions about whether the earth is warming." There's a name for this: fraud. And since the whole edifice of humancaused "global warming" (rechristened "climate change" when warming failed to appear) is erected upon essentially the same raw data, the discovery of the deliberate corruption of that data destroys the alleged scientific basis for anthropogenic global warming. It also fatally undermines the political pressure for supranational controls over energy and economies so long urged by socialists and special interests of various stripes. This is very bad news for the global warming crowd, from President Obama to Sen. Sanders, the big business Climate Action Group, Vermont Senate President Peter Shumlin, VPIRG, propagandist Bill McKibben, and the protesters in polar bear suits roaming the state house lawn. But it's good news for the inhabitants of Planet Earth, who will now likely be spared a new world energy government promulgating economically destructive mandates, taxes and rationing on the world's struggling economy. Not a moment too soon. John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute (www.ethanallen.org).

piring, but by waiting a few weeks, I took the soup home for free! Had I used it the week I’d gotten it, I would still have paid more than two dollars for the soup. Free is much better. After one of my coupon classes, a man came up to me and told me that he had an By Jill Cataldo “aha!” coupon moment. He was an avid poker player, and he equated knowing when to “play” your coupon to knowing when to play a certain card in a hand of poker. I like this analogy a lot, because coupon shopping can definitely feel like a game at times... and it’s a game that’s fun to win! A $1 coupon is worth a lot more paired with a $1 sale price than it is with a $3.29 regular price. As for your point about using a coupon the week you cut it out so that it’s not a “waste of time,” I’d suggest that you not be so quick to clip. I never cut coupons that I’m not going to use immediately. I use a “clipless” system to manage my coupons (more on this at www.supercouponing.com under “Getting Started.”) I’m not cutting a coupon out until the week I actually need it. If the coupon in my insert does not line up with a good sale before it expires, I haven’t wasted any time at all clipping it, looking it up or carrying it around. I use as little time and effort as possible to manage my coupons and you can, too! It’s much easier to take only the coupons you need to the store in the first place, secure in the knowledge that, like my card-playing student, you are “playing” your coupons at exactly the right time to maximize savings.

Childless Vermont
A
s a predominantly blue county in a predominantly blue State, Addison is home to a clear majority of households whose members eschew conservative publications. Therefore, as a public service, I propose to describe briefly, in this space, the contents of a recent commentary in one such publication, in hopes (mostly futile, I’d guess, for the same reason) that they might find it instructive. It’s New Hampshire resident Mark Steyn’s “Gray Mountain State”, reprinted from the National Review in a few brave Vermont newspapers. Perhaps Steyn’s subject matter, demographics in Vermont, will attract perusal from those more literatethan-average modern political enthusiasts? Public school enrollment decline is the statistical lynchpin of the Steyn thesis that “Vermont is getting proportionately more childless. Which is to say that, literally, Vermont has no future.” Readers already know the numbers: K-12 enrollment down from 105K in 2000 to 93K in 2008, with projected further decline to below 90K by 2014. He also recites a middle-class out-migration stat—“the number of young adults fell by 20 percent in the Dean years”—and continues in the Douglas years, as economist Art Woolf has documented, factoids similarly well-known to county voter/taxpayers/selective-readers (who have already grasped the underlying related notion, the remarkable propensity of career-enhancement-seeking middleclass households, when pursuing better economic opportunity elsewhere, to take their children with them when they flee). A month earlier there was a France on the Hudson piece in the Weekly Standard which described a parallel middle-class exodus and ensuing morphing of the Big Apple into a two-tier socio-political structure with a well-above-median-income upper class and a subsidized/dependent underclass cooperating to dominate the ballot box and set governance and spending policy. In a bright-red pull-quote the editors deploy this: “When asked to define the [New York City] middle-class, [Mayor] Michael Bloomberg offered up only one specific group: ‘municipal workers, 300,000 of them’.” In the article itself, authors Fred and Harry Siegel recite the stats: “the average city worker receives $107K/year in salary and benefits, while the median annual salary for New York families is $50K”. That’s a remarkable but unmentioned parallel to the Vermont situation deplored by the Rutland Herald in a Nov. 17 editorial entitled “The Ruling Class?”.
Nor do the authors recite the Gallic-reference source, a series of Wall Street Journal articles and commentary, years ago, which described French governance as dominated by the abnormally-large numbers of government employees and income-redistribution recipients, and called the phenomenon, called the French Disease. Vermont, with a ratio of government-employees-tototal-population which is usually no. 1 or 2 in an all-state ranking in year-to-year studies, can legitimately be similarly labeled, something your scribe has occasionally done in this space, always identified as “redux” (a little press-room Latin lingo, there). They do recite the Brookings Institution stat documenting “NYC second only to LA with the second-smallest share of middleincome families in the nation…” while defining the middle class as “…the people who are leaving”, a demographic pattern which Vermont author Fred Jaegels, writing from his cabin-in-the-woods in Cabot, described a quarter-century ago as Vermont’s obvious-even-then emerging twotier socio-political structure. He got no source footnote from the Siegels either. Similarly, Steyn in Cassandra mode devoted no ink in his no-future argument to society survival via continuous recruiting and in-migration, as demonstrated by such institutions as the church hierarchy and pre-modern high-death-rate cities, interesting subjects in their own right. Dramatic declarations that a zero-natural-increase state has “no future” are refuted by retiree-dominated counties across the U.S., where continuing in-migration of passive-income types—pensioners, bondcoupon-clippers, and trust-funders—quite readily makes up for zero-natural-increase, even when accompanied by out-migration of active-income types. It’s when the passive-income types decide that the governance environment has become repugnant, and pack to flee, that a prediction like Steyn’s can come true. Sinclair Lewis’ 1935 book, “It Can’t Happen Here”, is not the final word on the subject. Retired Vermont architect Martin Harris lives in Tennessee where he enjoys not having to drive in snow and ice.

African sounds at MSJ Rutland volunteers To the editor: At Home Senior Care and the Southwestern Vermont Council on Aging would like to thank all of the Holiday Stockings box host sites, volunteers, contributors, and individuals from the two organizations for all of their help and efforts to make this project a success.

Empowering Rutland To the editor: On Dec. 8, the Self Advocates Becoming Empowered, Rutland donated many presents to their adopted family for Christmas. Throughout the month members, of the adults with developmental disabilities group, first talked about what they wanted to buy for an adopted family, then they contacted an organization. With the excitement of finding a family the shopping began. The Self Advocates decided to gift food for the whole meal on Christmas day, a phone card to call loved ones, and presents for the children. Of course the gifts had to be wrapped to be presented properly, so an afternoon of wrapping was next on the agenda. On Tuesday the 8th, the group had their own party of exchanging gifts, holiday song and snacks, then they got on a bus to ride to the connecting organization. Gift by gift and member by member they got off the bus and flooded into the building with glowing spirits. The Self Advocates Becoming Empowered- Rutland is a group that learns to speak up for their needs, how to participate in and be contributing members in meetings, and how to set and reach goals. One of their goals this year was to educate the community about disability awareness. They have a training they do that takes from 10 minutes to an hour if needed, to show how individuals with developmental disabilities are just like people without disabilities; we all have dreams, fears, likes, dislikes and feelings. This season they are feeling extremely good about their goal of adopting a family Lisa S. Lynch, Executive Director ARC Rutland Area Rutland

Boy Scouts to celebrate 100th birthday in 2010 The U.S. Postal Service today gave scouting ‘a stamp of approval’ to honor 100 years of the U.S. scouting movement. The Celebrate Scouting stamp, which will be sold in the summer of 2010, coincides with the Boy Scouts of America’s 100th anniversary. The new stamp design was unveiled last week during an event at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. The design, created by illustrator Craig Frazier, depicts the spirit and outdoor adventure of scouting through a backpacking scout and a large silhouette of a scout surveying the landscape. Since the creation of the international youth scouting movement some 100 years ago, hundreds of millions of children have benefited from opportunities for adventure, skill building, leadership, personal development, and community service provided by scouting organizations. In conjunction with the Celebrate Scouting an-
nouncement, the Boy Scouts of America announced it will begin a nationwide effort to support U.S. Armed Forces personnel serving overseas and veterans by sending letters and care packages using the Priority Mail Flat Rate Box through the Postal Service. Local DCarea scouts mailed letters and shared news about the scouting stamp from the museum this morning. The letter writing campaign continues the BSA’s longstanding tradition of service and performing “a good turn” daily. The new Celebrate Scouting stamps will go on sale nationwide and will be dedicated in July 2010 at the Boy Scout Jamboree. The Boy Scouts of America will celebrate its 100th anniversary on Feb. 8. To mark this milestone, the organization has undertaken nationwide celebration efforts that reintroduce the organization to today’s young people and families, reinforce the value of scouting, and reconnect with the millions the organization has impacted.

Vermont Girl Scouts seek survey participants What are Vermont girls thinking about doing after high school? Do they have a dream job? What would help them plan their futures?

Winning artists will also receive an engraved plaque and letter of congratulations from BGCA president Roxanne Spillett. Regional finalists will receive a certificate of participation. Local winners will receive award ribbons and recognition at the club’s open house on February 26th. 2010 marks the third year that the Boys & Girls Club of Rutland County will participate in the National Fine Arts Exhibit. The Club’s local exhibit will be on display at the Merchants Row Clubhouse the week of January 4- 8, 2010, featuring a reception

Joyce Binder is a local acrylic and mosaic artist who has exhibited at local galleries and is also a member and exhibiting artist at the Chaffee Art Center in Rutland. Joyce facilitates an outstanding arts program as part of the Boys & Girls Club’s after school and school vacation programming, recognizing and cultivating the talent of Rutland youth and encouraging recognition for them through exhibition opportunities.

Dear Linda, As you well know, we are always questioning the most effective way to get our message out to our customers and to potential customers. While we were somewhat resistant to advertising in yet another print media, you convinced us to at least try the Outlook as a means of expanding our customer base in Ludlow, Londonderry and the surrounding area. It has worked! We had an immediate response in the first week of advertising in the Outlook . We are seeing a continual growth in telephone inquiries and in-person contacts. More importantly, we are seeing an increase in the number of customers we are gaining in the southern Vermont area. Several of our new customers, expressed that they were not aware of our store until reading our ads in the Outlook. This included some permanent residents as well as second-home owners. This surprised us because Sofas ‘n More is one of the largest distributors of home furnishings, mattresses and accessories in the area. It has been in business since 1946. Operating under the name Hy-Way furniture till 1993 and since 1995 as Sofas ‘n More. Our owner, Norm Lash, continues his family’s commitment to offer the highest quality products at a fair price. We have an outstanding record with the Better Business Bureau; have been recognized for 11 Years as “THE BEST PLACE TO BUY FURNITURE IN THE RUTLAND AREA”. Customers are always impressed with the scope and variety of our inventory. We have a 25,000 square foot showroom with over 75 living room/ den displays from famous brands as La-Z-Boy, Ashley, Klaussner, Flexsteel, Best Chair, and Legacy. Each of these displays are designed to make the shopping experience easy. The customer can select just a piece or the room and be confident that it will impress their friends and family alike. We, also, have one of the largest selections of bedrooms & dining room displays. And we carry a full line of Serta mattress, including Memory Foam and Latex, all at the lowest prices in the area. Our Customer Consultants are trained, experienced individuals committed to customer service with a no pressure approach. We offer full service, professional, seven day delivery to better accommodate our customers busy schedules as well as the second-home owner who often times is only here on the weekend. Thanks, Linda, for helping us get our message out. We appreciate your professionalism and look forward to working with you in the future.

I
read about your husband, Tiger. I’m sorry for your troubles. I think you are lovely. How do you pronounce your name? Is it, L in, or L IN, or eeLin, or Elan? Just wondering, cause if this letter is at all effective, I’ll need to know. I’m older than you, by 20 years, but let’s not consider age span a negative force regarding a potential relationship between you and the Logger. My folks were 20 years apart in age, and up until my Dad passed, they were married 51 years. Also the fact that I’m older, I feel, authorizes me to offer you a bit of not so stunning information. All guys cheat. All guys. We all may not actually cross the line and follow through with any actual action, but, we all cheat. We cheat in our hearts and minds, and that’s one hundred percent more cheating than what a solid, sincere wife would ever want or deserve from any man. So, assuming we all cheat, what you’d get from marrying me (once you are divorced from Tiger with $55 million in your personal account), is the exception. I will not cheat on you Elin, not in my heart, mind, or otherwise. So there. This husband of yours—if you’ll pardon any busting of his chops being an indirect insult to you having chosen him from the entire male population of the world—is a load. I mean, please, he golfs for a living. Most wives put up with their husbands golfing—what—maybe a night or at the most two during the week, then some on the weekend? But your husband, he’s at it constantly. Sure he’s being paid a ton to do it, but still, he hits a ball a bunch of times toward a cup set below the surface of a ridiculous sprawl of clear-cut land that should have been left full of trees, streams and rabbits, and he does it just about every day and he takes it very seriously. It’s idiotic at the rate he does it, and if my golfing friends will excuse my directness, at most any other rate too. That is to say, Elin, if you marry the Logger one of the things you’ll never miss is all that inane booze-induced golf talk stuff, about this club and that putter—blah, blah—par, eagle, birdie, whispering, shank, tee time, I hooked it, Jim Nance, wedge, the Byron Nelson. Elin, if you marry me I promise we’ll never so much as drive by a golf course. Sound good? You danged well bet it does. So that’s one thing. Another thing is, and I’ll be the first to say, I’m no George Clooney, but my gal superimpose Tiger into a Home Depot vest and tell me he isn’t one dopey looking dude. Take away the golf swing and he’d pass for the assistant manager at Taco Bell. He’s losing his hair, he’s all beefed up and pudgy looking; he’s constantly scowling, and Elin, those teeth! The next Christmas Eve Santa can’t see through the fog, he needn’t do more than hitch ol’ Tiger next to Rudolph and holler, “Keep smiling, Tiger!” I have nice straight perfectly proportioned to my head teeth, teeth you’ll look at and never wonder if I’m somehow related to Mr. Ed. So consider all that, my sweet lass. Hey, going off the subject a little, what are you, Swedish? I think you are; that is so cool and one more reason I’m not cheating on you—ever. I’m 49 years old, always been single, and one of the reasons I think I’ve never gotten hitched is ‘cause I haven’t been lucky enough to find a gal with an accent—well, beyond one slightly stoned Canadian woman on a lonely early winter night a few feet across the border. But I digress. I dream, Elin, of coming home from my Sunday matinee comedy show at the VFW, all tired, after having earned us 250 bucks, and calling out to you: “Money bags, I’m home!” to which you’ll reply from the laundry room in an oversized hoodie, pair of boxers, with hair pulled back: “I’ll be zair in a zecond, I’m volding zee zocks.” See, see, to me Elin, that, that gets me going. I’d feel no need to stray if I had you tippy toeing barefoot around the house V’ing and Z’ing all the livelong day. Tiger’s lost his mind. Oh, I believe your genes and my genes are similar. DeWees is Dutch and isn’t Dutch kind of Swedishy? I think so Elin. We’re a match. So herney, verney, werney, doll face, what say you and me kick off our wooden shoes? My darling Elin, I was not impressed to read that your chasing Tiger with a golf club occurred outside “the couple’s $2.4 million home.” Ha, ha, ha—$2.4 million? I can understand why you were trying to club him. You poor thing, living with a billionaire in a silly little $2.4 million hut with neighbors on all four sides. I’m not saying my home is worth anywhere near $2.4 million, but, in proportion to what I make, it’s worth $20 million. And for holy jeezum sakes, if we have a little spat you can come at me guns ablazin’ cause there aren’t barely neighbors within driving distance of my Vermont house (let alone any who could hear us). Now, doesn’t that sound romantic? Bottom line, Elin: I’m sure Tiger is a good guy, and you love him, and for sure he gives a ton of support to various charities and benevolent organizations. Here’s the thing: He gets paid a ton of dough to play a game he’d pay to play; he gets the press, you, your kids, his fans, competitors, and giant companies, all under his thumb, and maybe most important, he has his health— and what does he do? He leaves revealing voice messages via telephone and Internet, jeopardizing all the blessings and serenity life holds for him, you, and your children. Elin, you married a not so smart guy. Call me, Elin. Call me or e-mail me or something. The life you deserve awaits in Elmore, Vt., which I bet is more like Sweden than Florida could ever hope to be—even on the coldest day of the year.
