VERMONT FALLEN HEROES
GWOT Memorial fund drive slated By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com While the Global War On Terror may have become a political lightning rod during the 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns, one fact remains today: the lives and safety of many young Americans are at risk. Since 2001, Americans have shed blood in the multi-front conflict triggered by terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. While Americans remain unevenly divided over the war effort and the imprisonment of combatants, most of the families of Vermont’s fallen soldiers believe the overall battle against terrorism is worth fighting. Now, thanks to an effort spearheaded by a group of Vermonters including Ray DeGiovine, the father of USMC Cpl. Chris DeGiovine, age 25, of Essex Junction, a lasting memorial will honor the lives of Vermont’s fallen. A graduate of Essex High School and Champlain College, young Chris DeGiovine took part in community bicycle patrols for the Essex Police Department. His goal was to pursue a full-time career in police work in Vermont after his military service came to an end. But the corporal’s plans were not meant to be. Cpl. DeGiovine, assigned to 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., died April 26, 2007, in combat in Iraq. Now Cpl. DeGiovine, and other young Vermont men like him, will be remembered in stone; a native granite monument will honor the lives of those who gave—and will give— their last full measure of devotion to the nation. “This memorial will be a lasting testament to our soldiers killed in the nation’s current wars, as well as a tribute recognizing the selfless commitment of those who have served and will serve in these conflicts,” said DeGiovine. “It is designed by Dana Morissette of Granite Industries of Vermont and will be built with Barre gray granite. It will consist of a sculpture of an M-16 rifle, helmet and dog tags, with relief carvings showing a citizensoldier and a maple tree shedding leaves that symbolize fallen service members,” he said Deeply motivated by the death of his son, DeGiovine got involved with the Vermont Fallen Families organization and became treasurer of the Vermont Fallen Heroes GWOT Memorial Fund, Inc. The fund, a 501c3 Vermont Charitable Corp., is the memorial project launched by Vermont Fallen Families in 2009. “On Sept. 11, 2001 terrorists killing nearly 3,000 Americans attacked America,” said

RRMC kicks off $15 million computerized data project
The Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) would like to remind you that February is Adopt-a-Rescued-Rabbit month. Did you know that rabbits are the third most likely animals to find themselves looking for a new home? Rabbits make excellent companions. They can live eight to ten years and bond closely to their adopters. Quiet but inquisitive, rabbits can also be trained to use a litter box. To learn more about Ivory and Merlin, the rabbits at RCHS that are looking for new homes, call the shelter at 483-6700 or visit www.rchsvt.org.

RRMC CEO Tom Huebner. “We know from our patients and other customers that managing their information excellently is critical,” said Huebner. “We need to do a great job of coordinating the care of patients both within and outside of the hospital. It simply can’t be done without an electronic medical record system (like SNOW). When SNOW is ready, we will be
ahead of 95 percent of all U.S. hospitals.” SNOW will enable security cleared RRMC employees to access medical information immediately—from the hospital, from their own offices or from other agencies. RRMC patients will benefit by increased privacy and time savings as they move from doctor ’s office, to hospital, to pharmacy or nursing home.
Created by Cerner Corporation, based in Kansas City, Mo., SNOW evolved between 2009 and 2010 after 20 vendors had submitted proposals. Cerner, a leader in medical data technology, won the contract bidding process in May 2009. Money for the multi-million project is being generated privately by RRMC as well as through U.S. Government stimulus funds.

RUTLAND — Taking a bold step toward becoming a major player in the New England health-care industry, Rutland Regional Medical Center kicked off a $15 million integrated medical information system development project Jan. 26. RRMC employees joined officials in the hospital’s community room to learn more about the big project and how it will change the way they handle medical records and other related data. The new computer software-based hospital information system is aimed at improving the way RRMC conducts its medical business throughout the region. When completed in late 2011, the system will perform as a regional “medical network” that will be used by physicians, caregivers, technicians, pharmacists, even accountants and clerks, involved in the day-to-day running of RRMC. The new ultra secure system, dubbed affectionately SNOW—short for Simple Navigation to Online Wisdom—will also improve patient privacy and streamline internal and external communications, according to

West Street Market in Proctor By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com PROCTOR — The new owner of Proctor ’s West Street Market is more than happy to take the plunge and go into business for herself. In fact, Rachel Jackson is overwhelmed by the positive feedback and community support she is receiving after taking the helm of the town’s popular general store last week. “I want to thank all the local residents who dropped by,” she said. “I was pleased with the first week’s sales. People seem happy with the changes, too. It means a lot.” Jackson, a native of Rutland who grew up in North Clarendon, is a resident of Poultney. She said she reached the point in life where she wanted to be her own boss, and get off a financial-career rollercoaster ride that offered either feast or famine depending on the state of the economy. “I wanted something fun and challenging,” she said. “After looking for a financerelated job—so it seemed to me—every two years or so, operating a general store looked like a good move to me.”
Jackson has a solid background in business; she is a college graduate and received a master ’s degree in business from St. Joseph’s College. So, her approach to running a country store will be a little more scientific than most. Despite competition from area box stores and supermarkets, Jackson believes Rutland County’s general stores still provide a vital service to local shoppers. “Sure, there’s competition, but I try to pass on my savings to customers. I purchase quality merchandise when it’s on sale, so I have everyday low prices that you can compare to Price Chopper,” she said. “We’re planning a new deli section with a new look, expanding our wine selection, offering new lunch specials, more chef salads, delicious high quality strip steaks, home ground hamburgers, and lots more.” Beer, soda, vitamin/energy drinks, lottery tickets, local newspapers, Thomas Dairy products, fresh Green Mountain Coffee, Super Bowl snacks, as well as other items, round out the market’s convenient offerings. Jackson hopes to expand her current “buy local” selections, too, with even more locally produced products from folks such as David and
Michelle Parker of North Chittenden. The West Street Market opened in the 1980s. It was owned successively by the McGarries, Frank LaPenna, Andy and Nancy Crestelli, and most recently by David and Heather Atherton. With that said, the market has been a keystone in the Proctor landscape regardless who is helping behind the counter. It is centrally located and a genuine convenience for residents who prefer not to make the long drive to the West Rutland or Rutland area for needed items. Joining Jackson behind the counter on various days are Deana Burnham and Jeff Anderson of Proctor, Megan Gangone of Pittsford, and Celia Lisananti and Maureen Ketcham. Even with a good location and loyal customers, you have to possess the right kind of temperament to make a go of it in Vermont’s general-store business. And after just a week behind the counter, it appears that Rachel Jackson has exactly what it takes to succeed—a love of community, an eagle eye for local business, and a good old-fashioned commitment to personal, customer service. Check it out: West Street Market in Proctor is open for
winter hours Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 7 a.m.8 p.m., Thursday, 7 a.m.-9 p.m., Friday, 7 a.m.-9 p..m., Saturday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sunday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m. Telephone: 802-459-3322.

The London Bridge paradigm E
ver since Middlebury’s Three Mile Road Bridge burned in 1958, there was a push among the important people in Addison County’s shiretown-and-village that a new in-town bridge would be a suitable replacement—especially as an alternate route for traffic moving along the U.S. Route 7 corridor. For at least the last half-century, the alignment of choice for the in-town bridge has been for the north end to be very near the town offices and Main Street, the bridge itself (now known as the Cross Street Bridge) heading south across the Creek past the municipal parking lot to land among the streets on the south bank. A quarter-century ago, I suggested that an in-town bridge pay its own way by serving as the site for rent-paying shops and housing on both sides of the travel lanes. It was not a particularly innovative idea on my part: An earlier example, the famous London Bridge, was built some eight centuries earlier over the Thames River. The Normans had pretty much consolidated their control over most of Britain after an invasion which changed the country’s future from Anglo-Saxon to Norman-English. (Florence’s vintage Ponte Vecchio is similar in concept.) Not more than a score of years ago, a 19th century Thames River replacement (sans shops and housing, and therefore taxpayer funded) was taken down stone-by-stone after an American purchase. It now spans a cul-de-sac waterway near Lake Havasu City, Ariz., while a modern replica spans the Thames (also sans rentable revenue-generating space). It is free to users while funded by users and non-users alike. The important people in Middlebury didn’t like my idea of a bridge-as-profit center (a selectman telephoned my house to berate me for presuming to offer a different option and not admiring the “hundreds of hours spent” in a fruitless pursuit of an acceptable design) and still don’t think much of it today. One early editorial, headlined “Push for in-town bridge is ambitious and necessary”, listed a range of funding mecha-
My pal Arden “O
le Russ. Fweoohwee. Sorry I’m late.”
“Not a concern Arden, thanks for showing up anyways. I wanted to know how much you think you’d end up charging me if you plowed my dooryard for this winter? “Well, ahh. ffpheeew. You want it pushed back fully, back there? ffPheeew, haaaa. Let me catch my breath first.” “Take your time, Arden. (I laughed) Got all day. No snow in the forecast for a while anyway … that you’d need ta plow, I’m guessing.” “Well, Russ, I hate to be late ya know, but the gol darn people drinkin them, fwooofph … bitter, foreign coffees. What is it they like about it? It’s strong? They tryin to get high? Why don’t they just drink booze? It’s quicker by two.” “What are you sayin’, Arden?” “I’m overly busy. Took too much on, too many jobs. Stone skippin season’s bout flush, winter’s comin’, the ole rubble trailer foundation gotta be bucked up with spruce poles and hemlock boughs right off. I’m hammered with work. Woke up this morning, give myself a French dry-clean, hit the road runnin’, doin’ stuff alllll day. Couldn’t imagine being married. Sorry I’m late.” (I laugh) “You ain’t holding me up, Arden.” “Hope not. But see they got one a them frappacheenolatte, capalatte, fralattes, yogalattes, er fricken pilattes, I don’t know, I can’t keep my lattes straight nowadays, bbut anyway, they got one a them big gol’ darned frickin’ coffee machines at my place I buy my lottery tickets at. Big as a wood splitter. It’s not so bad it takes half the day for the future state senator behind the counter to pull me two or three lotto tickets, but when she’s got ta make one a them coffeecheeno rigs, for some filthy-footed flip-flop wearin’ hippie, why the Egyptians push blocks up the long side of a pyramid faster. The fact that it takes a jet engine to froth milk—the poor gol’ darn hippies in that restaurant tryin to be peaceful reading gluten-free food hand-outs and playin Jumble, why they’d like to power-blast granola out their nostrils when that frothin machine goes off. Must be there’s the same engines in the milk frothin’ machines as they use in the gal danged automatic hand dryers in the public rest rooms now. Miniature 747 engines in them hand dryers. Loud? Ffwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh. My friggin’ hands don’t need to be bone-dry man. I like em a little moist! Them dryers are environmentally good cause they don’t make no paper, but crap, the noise pollution. I stopped at a rest area, one that’s closed now because the state government’s spending too much money, so they thought they’d close some rest areas and take the money they save from closing the rest

areas and go ahead and spend it opening up a new jail for women, but I was at the rest area doing my number one business, guy triggered the hand-dryer -- scared the fluid down outa me so hard I sandblasted a nickel sized whole straight through the urinal. Didn’t know it was so loud to make heat in the 21st century. Cavemen rub two sticks together, make fire, took a while, but cripes, least it didn’t wake the babies back at the cave. My 40-year-old woodstove makes more heat then them hand dryers and it burns quiet as Helen Keller doing karaoke. No need to have fancy coffee. Two teaspoons of instant stirred with your finger set ya right up. But you pay four or five dollars for a coffee made from foreign bean, topped with an inch of very loudly made milk froth, you feel special, like a New York Yankee, or Dallas Cowboy, or a retired French teacher living in Paris. Make you feel like things you envy but know you’ll never be. Fancy coffee makes them people feel rich. Or, richer, relative to what they are. That’s the hook, I know that, and I’m dumb.” “So, ole’ Russ, if your driveway includes the right-of-way, its 45 bucks a plow. If it starts at them two birch posts stuck into, and stickin’ out of the ground, 25. I won’t plow but only when there’s more en four inches. My hand from fingertip to wrist is eight. I put a salute stiff hand, finger first into the freshly fallen, and if my hand’s covered more than half, I plow … if that’s alright?” (I laughed) “It starts at the right-of-way. So fifty. You’re hired Arden.” “Any cash layin’ around you gotta get rid of? Rid of it my way and I’ll take two twenties a plow instead. Barrack ull never know the difference.” “Two 20s it is. Things are out of hand in America ain’t they Arden?” “Well I don’t know if they’re out-a-hand ole Russ, but I know frothin milk and dryin hands is louder than NASCAR. I gotta get. Work, work, work. Can’t believe there’s people can’t find any. My down fall? Never feeling entitled.” Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly.

nisms—from taxes on locals to taxes on others so that Middlebury might harvest free money via grants. Not a word about the bridge paying its own way. That would have been a bridge too far. It’s understandable. In the political climate of modern Vermont, pay-your-own-way and user fees are considered beneath contempt and far less attractive to the governing class than broad-based taxes which they get to collect, pay themselves from, and distribute the remainder to favored recipients. Just imagine: What would be the reaction to any proposal that parents of school kids pay even a tiny fraction of the educational costs they generate, as they did, once upon a time, back in an earlier Vermont where “rate bills” were a standard and accepted way for parents to pay some fraction of the cost of their kids’ schooling? Even if you’re offended by the London Bridge design plagiarism, you might want to consider another user-fee approach: toll collection. Elsewhere in the nation, highway engineers and economists are brainstorming over highway toll charges, either fixed or time-of-day, whereby users pay in accordance with the value the route offers them in comparison with a “free” (paid for by others, because nothing in infrastructure is truly free), but slower and/or more circuitous route. Such user fee concepts wouldn't be well thought of in Vermont. Former Vermont architect Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
Pluto’s eternal night
N
ASA’s New Horizons robot spacecraft is almost mid way on its nine-year deep-space voyage to the planet Pluto—ok, dwarf planet or Kuiper Belt Object or—whatever current buzz word you want to slug this fascinating world. The plutonium-powered spacecraft, traveling at 47,000 mph, will flyby chilly Pluto in July 2015. If successful, it will be the first humanmade object ever to reach Pluto approximately 3 billion miles from Earth. New Mexico astronomer Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto accidentally in 1930. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Tombaugh in 1977 at a meeting of the Lehigh Valley Amateur Astronomical Society in Allentown, Pa. Tombaugh was a gentle and humble man. I think he would be proud of the New Horizons mission to reach this smallest of planets. Pluto is the farthest, large planetary body from our Sun. Occasionally, Pluto gives up this position to Neptune due to the unusual, elliptical Plutonian orbit. A year on Pluto lasts 248 terrestrial years. In 2000, after scrubbing its Pluto Fast Flyby, later renamed Kuiper-Pluto Express mission, space agency officials were forced to reconsider their mistake when many scientists and vocal pro-space groups protested loudly. “We have to get to Pluto quickly,” the experts claimed. So, from the ashes of the PFF/KPE mission was born New Horizons. But what’s the hurry and why should we visit Pluto now, you may ask? As it moves away from the Sun, Pluto’s atmosphere will re-freeze falling to the surface as a nitrogen-carbon dioxide-methane snow sometime around the year 2020. Hence, scientists are anxious to get to Pluto now,
while it still has a gaseous atmosphere. Missing the January-February 2006 launch date would have meant waiting until the year 2200 when Pluto’s long-sleeping atmosphere sublimes back from ice to gas. What will we find when we finally visit Pluto? Being almost 6 billion km from the Sun, the rock and ice-bound planet’s surface must be terribly cold, colder than liquid nitrogen. Estimates place Pluto’s surface at a cryogenically chilly minus 396 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s cold enough for water ice to act like rock. But the warmer interior protected by miles of thick nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide ices, and heated by radioactive rocks at the planet’s core, may support a deep layer of liquid water— a Plutonian ocean. It’s fun to speculate what life forms might have evolved in that Stygian sea. Any future astronauts landing on Pluto will stand on the frontier of the solar system. They will see the dwarf planet’s cratered moon Charon looming large in the sky. Inward, toward the Sun, our feeble home star will appear much like Venus does from Earth. There will be no warmth from its rays. Outward, the explorers will gaze into an immense gulf of interstellar space.
What’s in the Sky: Check out Plaskett's Star, the most massive binary sun known. The primary masses at 40 suns, the companion about 60 suns; in the southeast after 7 p.m. The first week of February is a good for the planet Mars. On Jan. 29, Mars was at opposition (opposite the Sun). While not as bright as during other oppositions, Mars doubled in brightness since Dec. 1 Sirius an and Jupiter are brighter. Mars rises in the east after sunset. Star chart courtesy of J. Kirk Edwards. Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., lives in Vermont.

Not just Vernon, but all Vermont would benefit from relicensing
O
n Jan. 12, surrounded by Vernon town and school officials and other Vermont Yankee supporters at a Statehouse press conference, I expressed the following message: Not just Vernon, but all of Vermont would benefit from the license renewal of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. Southeastern Vermont has been hit hard by the 2009 recession. The shutdown of Vermont Yankee would cost more than 600 lost jobs at the plant itself—more than $40 million in annual cumulative payroll for the region— and also endanger the jobs of the hundreds of vendors and contractors that depend on the plant’s operation. The result would plunge Vernon and surrounding towns into a regional depression. The local social services “safety net” would suffer terribly from the loss of nearly $400,000 in Vermont Yankee employee giving, as well as the incalculable loss of donated employee time and services. But not only my town and county would suffer. Many other jobs would be lost across Vermont, especially in industries sensitive to higher electricity costs such as manufacturing, hospi-
tality, grocery and dairy farming. State and local government would lose most of the $16.5 million Vermont Yankee pays in annual revenue. Vermont businesses large and small would lose a stable, affordable, lowcarbon source of electricity, and homeowners also would suffer the sticker shock of greatly increased electric rates. The ongoing thorough, professional inspection processes have found Vermont Yankee to be safe and reliable time and again. Last year, a reliability assessment commissioned by the State of Vermont determined that a relicensed Vermont Yankee can be operated reliably, and Vermont Yankee routinely passes with high marks the stringent safety inspections conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. As a Vernon resident, as a mother, and as my town’s representative, I completely agree. Visitors to Vernon sometimes wonder why a nuclear power plant was built so close to the elementary school. In fact, it was the other way around. The people of Vernon built our elementary school across the road from Vermont Yankee.
Tribune editorial To the editor: Please tell editor Lou Varricchio that I sincerely appreciated the editorial about health care reform that he wrote for the Jan. 20 edition of the Rutland Tribune. He taught me a history lesson that I never received in History of Government 101. Bob Lucas Rutland
Justice for children To the editor: Salvatore MacEwan of Rutland was charged with murder in the death of his five-week old child, to which after a yearand-a-half he has pleaded guilty. The judge is considering a mere 14-year prison sentence for MacEwan’s heinous abuse of his child and the resulting murder. But did you know had MacEwan instead beaten his child’s
Would we have done so, if we had any doubt about the safety of Vermont Yankee? Never. Would we work in the plant ourselves and encourage our children to work there, if we had any concerns about its safety? No. And time and time again our family members and neighbors who operate the plant have justified this confidence. In some ways, our location in the southeastern corner of Vermont is a political weakness. Most of Vermont's population and statewide media are located in the top third of the state. Therefore many of the state's decision makers may not fully appreciate the real-life consequences of losing a major employer in southern Vermont. The Vermont Legislature should look for ways to preserve and create good jobs for our constituents, and should not close down a major employer and impose increased electric costs on Vermont businesses that are trying to survive in these tough economic times. Rep. Patricia O’Donnell (D) represents the town of Vernon in the Vermont House of Representatives.
mother to cause the death of his child six weeks earlier when the baby was still in the womb, he would have never faced any murder charges. That's right. In Vermont, if a man beats a pregnant woman until her baby dies, he does not get charged or prosecuted for the death of her baby. It is the same with vehicular homicide, DUI, and other acts of negligence or intent that result the death of a child still in the womb. That’s Vermont law and any sense of justice demands this travesty be fixed, just as has been done in 35 other states as well as federally. Check out www.BenningtonBabies.com and join the many other Vermonters who are working to get action on bills in the Senate and House that will fix the law, so those who are guilty of killing children in the womb by injuring the mother, don't walk free. As unimaginable as it is, there are some in the Vermont legislature who are obstructing progress on this matter, and they happen to be in leadership. Vermont’s children need your help. On behalf of the most defenseless, contact your legislators and implore that they get this law fixed this session, for justice and for the protection of pregnant women and the babies they carry. It is way beyond time that Vermont law makes these types of killings a crime. Send a clear message that Vermonters Value Children. Mark Shepard Vermont State Senator, 2003-2006 Bennington

The Gray Mountain State
T
he Demographic Deathwatch... it’s not just for Europe, Russia, China, and Japan anymore! Some parts of America are acquiring demographic profiles that would qualify them for E.U. membership. Take the Green Mountain State. As Howard Dean was fond of saying during his 2004 presidential campaign, “Vermont is the way America ought to be.” If it is, we’re all done for. Its marquee brands are either Canadian-owned (Vermont Castings wood stoves) or European-owned (Ben & Jerry’s ice cream) and any non-foreign economic activity in the state long ago had any life regulated out of it. But never mind all that. I ventured across the Connecticut River the other day and picked up the local paper, the Journal Opinion of Bradford, Vt. And among the other front-page headlines (“Newbury Will Mail Town Reports”; “Upcoming Sand Pile Talk”) was a story on how local school districts were in merger talks. No underlying reason was immediately given for the suddenly pressing need to merge: It seemed to be accepted as a natural feature of life that you can’t do anything about. And then a gazillion paragraphs into the story, the reporter finally explained what was going on: Throughout Vermont, student enrollment at public elementary and secondary schools is declining. According to figures from the state’s Department of Education, there were 104,559 students at those schools during the 1999–2000 school year. Last year, that figure was down to 92,572. Which is quite a drop. In fact, Vermont school enrollments have declined 13 years in a row. Since 1996, they’ve fallen by 13 percent, slumping below 100,000 in 2004 and projected to fall below 90,000 in 2014. The part of the state that my corner of New Hampshire borders is admittedly rural, and it’s not an unusual phenomenon for small towns to drain population to the big cities. But a couple of days later I was in the capital, Montpelier, and its school board is in merger talks with the neighboring towns of Berlin and Calais. If schoolkids are thin on the ground, the state’s total population has held steady—604,000 in 1999, 621,000 today. So Vermont is getting proportionately more childless. Which is to say that Vermont, literally, has no future. One school-board member whose enrollment has bumped from 600 to 500 and is now heading down to 400 told the paper: “What are we going to do? We’re not holding our breath that the state is going to solve this problem.” I suppose by “the state” he means the department of education or, in a more general way, Montpelier. But in a very basic sense there is no “state”: Graying ponytailed hippies and chichi... couples aren’t enough of a population base to run a functioning jurisdiction. To modify Howard Dean, Vermont is the way liberals think America ought to be, and you can’t make a living in it. So if you’re a cashpoor but land-rich native Vermonter taxed and regulated and hedged in on every front, you face a choice: In the new North Country folk wisdom, they won’t let you fish, so you might as well cut bait. Your outhouse is in breach of zoning regulations, so you might as well get off the pot, etc. When he ran for president, Howard Dean was said to have inspired America’s youth. In Vermont, he mainly inspired them to move somewhere else. The number of young adults fell by 20 percent during the Dean years. And what’s left is a demographic disaster: The state’s women have the second lowest birthrate in the nation, and the state’s workforce is already America’s oldest. Last year, Chris Lafakis of Moody’s predicted Vermont would have “a really stagnant economy” not this year or this half-decade but for the next 30 years... Nowhere in the news reports of school-merger talks does anyone suggest trying to reverse the policies that drive out young families and make Vermont—what’s the word the eco-types dig?—“unsustainable.” When it comes to “climate change,” it’s taken for granted that we can transform the very heavens if only we cap’n’trade’n’tax’n’regulate you even more. But the demographic death spiral? That’s just a fact of life, to question which puts you beyond political viability. The new Vermont prefers poseur politics and solutions for non-problems. A couple of years back, Gov. Jim Douglas, one of those famously moderate GOP New Englanders, finally noticed something was wrong in Green Mountain schoolhouses. So he acted decisively, signing legislation to protect the environment by forbidding school buses to run their engines while waiting for children to board. Tough on the kids: On many buses, there are too few students to generate much in the way of body heat. But you’ve gotta be able to prioritize: “This is a great step forward for our state,” declared the governor. The wheels are coming off the Vermont bus, but at least its engine won’t be running as the thing falls apart. Mark Steyn Mark Steyn is a resident of New Hampshire.

Heroes From page 1 DeGiovine. “Thousands of patriotic Americans answered our nation’s call to arms in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom known as the Global War on Terror. To date, 36 of Vermont’s finest and bravest servicemen have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms and liberties.” During its more than 200-year-long history, Vermonters have paid a high price during times of war. Akin to Vermont’s role in the War Between the States of the 1860s, Vermont has lost more fallen heroes per capita during the current Global War On Terror than any other state. According to DeGiovine, the memorial will be built at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Randolph Center. “The memorial’s design plans were formally unveiled at a Nov. 11, 2009 Veterans’s Day event held at the cemetery,” he said. “Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas and Gen. Thomas Drew, representing Vermont National Guard Adj. Gen. Michael Dubie, who oversees the cemetery, attended the event.” Plans call for a Memorial Day 2010 groundbreaking and Veterans’s Day 2010 dedication. In the meantime, Vermont Fallen Families need to raise funds throughout the state. As of November 2009, Vermont Fallen Families raised $90,000 toward the memorial with an additional $80,000 pledged. But the total cost for the memorial is estimated at $350,000, so there’s a long way to go. “Funds will be generated solely through private giving,” said DeGiovine. “All donations are tax deductible to the maximum permissible by law.” Contribution levels for the monument are set from $20 to $5,000 and more. Individuals and businesses in Vermont and elsewhere are among the current contributors. Ton contribute or to request more details, contact DGiovine by telephone at 802-879-7044 or via e-mail at rdegiovi@comcast.net. Checks should be made payable to the Vermont Fallen Heroes GWOT Memorial Fund, Inc. A website showing details of the memorial is located at www.VermontFallenHeroesGWOTMemorial.org.

More local organizations receive public funds Local Vermont institutions received taxpayer funded Vermont Cultural Facilities Grants in a ceremony at the Vermont State House last week. Gov. James Douglas and the Vermont Arts Council made the awards.

New vehicle license plates for Vermont vets The State of Vermont unveiled six new veteran license plates last week. Department of Motor Vehicle Commissioner Robert Ide will unveiled plates honoring veterans who served in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the Afghanistan War. The first recipient of a new plate was Vermont National Guard Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Michael Dubie. He will receive a plate honoring his service in Iraq. The new plates will be available to eligible veterans beginning Feb. 3. There is no additional fee for the new recognition license plates, and veterans can apply to receive them at any time. To be eligible, veterans must have served in the combat theater that is recognized by the plate for which they apply. These new plates will not supplant other veteran plates already offered by the state. DMV will continue to provide all existing veteran related license plates, which include the plate displaying a U.S. flag and plates honoring Purple Heart recipients, Pearl Harbor Survivors, and former Prisoners of War. The new plates are possible because of a 2008 change in state law that gives the Department of Motor Vehicles working in conjunction with the Office of Veterans Affairs greater flexibility in creating new license plates to recognize military service. The two organizations hope to have another round of new veteran-recognition plates available by the end of the year that will recognize the five military branches, retired military members, disabled veterans, and combat decorated veterans.
U.S Census Bureau hiring The U.S. Census Bureau is looking for hundreds of temporary workers to help count everyone in Vermont in 2010. Most of the jobs are for people who will work in the field earning $13.50 an hour. Workers are needed to drop off census questionnaires at homes in March, and conduct face-to-face interviews in late spring and early summer with Vermonters who fail to return their questionnaires by mail. Positions are part- to full-time, with many requiring evening and weekend hours. They offer flexible schedules and are close-to-home. To apply for work, applicants must take a 30-minute multiple-choice test. Tests are currently being offered at various times of day at convenient locations across the state. Anyone interested in taking a est can call 1-866-861-2010 toll free or 802-264-0860 to make an appointment. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and age 18 or older, have two forms of identification and pass a background check. Most jobs require a valid driver's license and a reliable vehicle. For more information contact Ellen Biddle, assistant manager for recruiting, by phone at 802-264-0843 or email at amr.lco.2146@census2010.gov, or Helen Simon, partnership specialist, at 264-0856 or email at Helen.j.simon@census.gov.
