Brandon economist remembered BRANDON — Frank A. Farnsworth, age 90, died Jan. 30 at the home of his son in Brandon. He was born June 4, 1919, in Manchester, N.H. He was the son of Frank A. and Claudine (Miller) Farnsworth. A graduate of Manchester High School, he continued his education at Colgate University and Harvard University. Dr. Farnsworth taught economics at Colgate from 1941 until he retired in 1987. While at Colgate, he also served as chair of the departFrank A. Farnsworth ment of economics and directed one of the first economics study groups to London in the 1960s. He was also a Fulbright Professor at the Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen. Throughout his career, research took him to many interesting and unusual places such as: two trips to Soviet Russia to visit Collective Farms and other industries; coal mines in Pennsylvania and Nova Scotia; various mining sites at Cobalt, Ontario; commercial fishing boats in Norway and logging camps and paper mills in northern New England. Since his retirement, he devoted much of his time to research on silver and other mining activities near Brandon. His students were the most important part of his career and he worked tirelessly to find new ways to help them apply their classroom learning to real world situations. Alumni who had been successful in business and industry came into his classes. and often provided internship opportunities at their companies.

Some of the students involved in raising funds for the Women’s Network and Shelter join network and Stafford Technical center officials: Chris Crout, Jamie Bonilla, and Jordan Grenier, Colin Haas, Emily Humiston, Evan Biathalon, Geoffry McDonald, Tim Mumford, Haley Cotrupi, James Reed, and Kayla Stewart. Members of Stafford Technical Center ’s SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Chapter who are members of the Public Safety Services Program, conducted a “silent witness” campaign to heighten awareness of the issue of teen dating violence. Mark Skakel, the instructor in the STC Forestry and Horticulture Program, asked Cierra Phelps, who
had designed the teen dating awareness program, to make a presentation about the issue to his class. After the presentation, forestry and SADD members decided to collaborate on a raffle for a cord of firewood which the forestry program students would cut, stack, and deliver. Forty tickets at $5 each were sold by the two groups, and $200 was raised. The students asked the co-
ordinators of the Stafford Digital Arts Program to make a large “check” for the presentation, and students from the two programs, as well as three students from Electrical and Plumbing made the presentation of the check to Sharon Norton, the assistant director of the Women’s Network and Shelter and Addie Gladding, the network’s child and youth legal advocate.
Gladding served as the contact person for SADD members as they set up an information and referral table and ran the awareness campaign. The SADD members, the Rutland County Women’s Network, and the STC Forestry and Horticulture Program enjoyed the partnership and are exploring future partnerships.
New aviation center receives taxpayer support Douglas salutes G.E. Rutland, Goodrich Vergennes By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com SOUTH BURLINGTON – Aerospace and aviation continues to play an everexpanding role in the Green Mountain State and generates nearly $2 billion in economic activity. In recognition of the aviation industry’s economic contributions to Vermont’s bottom line, Gov. Jim Douglas joined community and business leaders to celebrate the Vermont Aerospace and Aviation Associa-
tion (VAAA) open house at the Burlington International Airport last week. The Federal Aviation Administration estimates commercial aviation provides 9,369 jobs generating more than $257 million in wages and nearly a billion dollars in economic output in Vermont. “The aerospace industry is an important supplier of good jobs in Vermont,” said Douglas. “I am proud to support the continuing evolution of the aerospace sector in our state.” The governor followed his comments by reading a proclamation declaring February 2010 as “Aviation and Aerospace Appreciation Month.” He also
presented a check to officials from the City of South Burlington for $30,000 to fund preliminary work on a new Burlington Aviation Technical Training Center. In addition to aerospace companies like General Electric of Rutland, Vergennes-based Goodrich, and Burlington’s General Dynamics, Vermont boasts two commercial airports and 16 public-use airports, as well as 1,350 pilots and 877 general aviation aircraft. The funds will help build a technical aircraft maintenance training school at the airport. It will fund early work on the future center, including architectural services, design, and permit fees.

Building a home greenhouse in Vermont By Dr. Leonard Perry University of Vermont Starting your own flowers and vegetables at home from seeds lets you have many varieties you might not find otherwise at stores, can save you money, and is fun. If you are thinking of starting more than a few packs of seedlings, or already did last year and ran out of room to grow them on prior to planting outside, you may want to think about buying or making a home greenhouse. First, ask if you need a small greenhouse or some other structure? What are you intending to grow? If you are starting seedlings indoors under lights, perhaps all you need is a cold frame instead to harden them off before planting out. If growing vegetables, perhaps you'll just need some low plastic tunnels over the rows. Yet most gardeners, if starting more than a few flats of seedlings, will find a home greenhouse useful, fun, and a welcome setting in early spring. Home greenhouses come in all sizes, starting with small pop-up tents just for spring use (although I've seen them last fine in central and southern New England year round). These can be about 4 to 6 feet wide by 6 to 8 feet long, and about 6 feet or so high. For just a couple hundred dollars you'll be in business growing in an hour or so. Other greenhouses you leave up year round, especially in colder climates. A bit more sturdy and long lasting are those covered with plastic film. Larger greenhouses, similar to those used by growers, have a small fan inflating another layer of plastic on the outside. This creates an air space between layers for extra insulation. Such air-inflated houses usually are more than a home grower wants or needs, and harder to construct, with recovering needed every 3 to 4 years. I prefer, and have, a small greenhouse made of a polycarbonate solid material. Unless just growing during April and May, you may want to get one that is "twin wall", having two layers with an air space between. In cross section they look like honeycomb. Even better for insulation, but more money, are the triple wall glazings (the word for greenhouse coverings). Although solid, these polycarbonate materials bend so can cover a curved, hoop frame. Or they can be cut and used in sheets for straight walls. These materials usually last for at least 15 to 20 years before they begin to yellow and reduce the light coming through. Such glazings made specially for greenhouses, compared to those that may look similar from home stores, often are treated on the outside to resist the UV rays from sunlight, and treated on the in-

side to reduce condensation that can build up and drip in humid greenhouses. Of course if you want a more decorative greenhouse, such as attached to a home or building ("lean to" greenhouse), you may consider glass. This is harder to construct and deal with, can break, and unless twin wall (similar to energy-efficient windows for homes) lets more heat out. Glass greenhouses tend to be more expensive, but maintained can last for decades. If you're handy with tools and building, you may want to construct your own home greenhouse. Otherwise you may want to consider just buying a "kit" with all you'll need. You can then buy accessories such as heaters and benches. Some kits even include these. If you'll be growing vegetables in the ground you may not even need benches. There are many suppliers of greenhouse kits online and in garden supply catalogs, even from some seed companies. These can be located with an internet search for "home greenhouses" or similar. If buying a home greenhouse kit, some other considerations in addition to glazing type are where it is coming from--is it suitable for a northern climate, and what is the freight charge? You might even call the company and, through talking with them, see if they can provide answers to any questions, and judge their customer service (if you have technical questions once your greenhouse arrives it helps to have such expertise handy). They should be able to give you tips on the foundation needed for your greenhouse (often this is just wood anchored in the ground), and how to make your greenhouse more energy efficient if you'll use it during colder months. Unless growing just in April in May in the north, you'll need a more powerful heater. Make sure the greenhouse supplier can recommend both type of fuel heater
71792
(common is propane), and appropriate size. If you'll be growing during colder months, on windy days, you'll need a much larger heater. It is better to spend a little more now and make sure you have enough heat if needed. For the seasonal, tent types, an electric space heater may be all that is needed. On the flip side is ventilation. Larger greenhouses have automatic vents and fans that run with electricity (although they consume very little). For smaller greenhouses consider automatic vents that open and close on their own, just by expansion in a rod, with no power. Invariably the greenhouse will need vents open and closed, with the sun coming and going, to keep from getting too hot or cold. Even if you're at home all the time, this can become quite an issue. The main consideration when buying a home greenhouse is the size. Just like rooms at home, you can usually fill any available space and wish you had more. Buy the largest greenhouse you can afford, and have space for. When planning its location, allow space either for an addition or another one nearby. Make sure to locate near your home (if not attached), near water and power, in full sun, and easily accessible for moving plants and supplies.

The parallax view
S
ome of you may recall a 1974 movie, the political-thriller “The Parallax View”, starring actor Warren Beatty. This movie’s cryptic title illustrated the visual effect of looking at objects, both near and far, against an unchanging backdrop—in the movie’s case, mysterious moving objects against the backdrop of international politics. With a nod to the movie’s title, let’s look at the “parallax view” of how today’s astronomers figure out the vast distances between the Earth and other celestial objects such as stars, galaxies and ancient quasars. A law of mathematics that astronomers use when measuring distances in space is the so-called "inverse-square law." At its heart, the inverse-square law involves the concept of this parallax view. Parallax is easier to understand when you try it for yourself. You probably already “discovered” the inverse-square law as a child, just as I did, when left alone to amuse yourself on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Remember, parallax results when nearby objects appear to shift their positions relative to objects farther away. Remember that rainy day childhood discovery? As a child you may have held a finger up at arm's length. Then, you looked at your fingertip—first with one eyelid closed. Next, you opened your eyelid and then closed the other. Magic appeared to be the result—your finger jumped in space! Well, this phenomenon turns out not to be very magical; the apparent movement of your fingertip was the result of a change in your perspective or parallax view; in this case, a mere two or three inches as the fingertip “jumped” from one eye to the other. This happens when astronomers look at an object through an Earthbound telescope or an orbiting space telescope. According to a fact sheet about parallax appearing on the McDonald Observatory’s web site: “As Earth revolves around the Sun, astronomers invoke this same (finger jumping) principle (of parallax) to determine the distance to nearby stars. Just like your fingertip, stars that are closer to you and me shift positions relative to more distant stars that appear to be fixed in space. By carefully measuring the angle through which the stars appear to move over the course of the year, and knowing how far Earth has moved, astronomers are able to use basic high-school geometry to estimate the star's distance.” So the inverse-square law is the best mathematical method to use to figure out the fascinating parallax effect. This will explain why a star that is closer to us is brighter than a star farther away. Let’s imagine two identical stars—just like our yellow Sun. Example: Star A is twice as far away as Star B. Thus, Star B will appear four times dimmer than Star A. The inverse-square law tells us that the amount of dimming is the relative distance squared. Astronomers like to use the inverse-square law when they locate stars that are clearly similar in age and composition. They then compare the brightness of each star—again, we’ll use the example of Star A and B. If Star B is nine times less bright than Star A, then from the inverse-square law, astronomers deduce that Star B must be three times more distant than Star A. What’s in the Sky: We’re counting down the remaining weeks of winter until the start of spring. Next month sees good viewing of the night sky with the start of spring at the equinox March 20 at 1:32 p.m. You’ll want to observe the ringed planet Saturn at opposition on the following day.

Gloriosky, Zero! I
f you agree with the premise that almost all Vermont’s Golden Dome folks in Montpelier are wellabove-average in intelligence (as they often say, they’re smarter than the rest of us), then their Progressive doctrine specifically embraces the Wisconsin idea of government-by-experts. In non-quantitative terms, if you agree with the premise that your legislators are well-above-average in peopleskills, you’d naturally expect that they’d be quick to confess the error of their ways—that is, apologize and promise (and execute) a change in personal conduct or governance direction. As befits an opinion column, here’s my opinion: with very few easily identifiable exceptions, Vermont’s Golden Dome folks do indeed score well above the rest of us in both categories; getting elected and staying in office almost always demands just such inherited and learned abilities. If you continue your reasoning process, Vermont’s high tax rates and low class sizes (the inflow of the medically indigent and the outflow of the 25-44 age cohort), a national reputation as anti-business, and a local reputation for declining housing affordability, a pattern of business outmigration and trustfunder/inmigration is underway. Your next question should be this: if all these are governance-orchestrated patterns of conscious public-sector policy, how do you evaluate the resulting private sector responses? For example: are an anti-business reputation, business, middle-class, and young worker outmigration patterns and the passive income retiree and trustfunder in-migration patterns to be considered as good things? If your answer is “no” and you were directly responsible for them, you’d apologize and change course. If you’re answer is “yes” and you were directly responsible for them, you’d defend these patterns and outcomes as beneficial. Or, you might have a Little Orphan Annie moment. Cartoonist and author Ed Verdier started the Little Orphan Annie comic strip in 1927. From the first depiction of Annie and her dog Zero, Verdier used the phrase, “Gloriosky, Zero!” for his heroine to express her sharp verbal reaction to any surprising and unexpected event. I never saw such an event while an occasional Golden Dome visitor in recent years (and I’m sure not one any more), but I’ve not heard of a single “Gloriosky, Zero!” outburst from any Golden Dome professional—not when faced with taxes and housing, business shrinkage and transfer-payment growth, and Vermont’s private sector distaste for the results. Not one legislator said, “Gloriosky,
Zero!—we never thought that upzoning would raise housing costs!” Since there wasn’t a single Golden Domer to display a Little Annie moment, I conclude that there wasn’t a single Domer surprised (or displeased) by the results of the policies which they consciously voted to put in place. Similarly, I’ve not heard of a single instance of apology for unintended outcomes stemming from Progressive policies such as raising taxes to fund smaller classes (which, over 40 years, haven’t improved student achievement as promised). The quote that you might have heard would have gone something like this— “Gee whiz! We really thought—based on expert educator advice—that increasing public education staff, even as enrollments have declined, would have paid off in better test scores. It didn’t, we’re sorry, and we’ll get back to a more cost-effective staffing pattern”. Nor, on housing affordability, have I heard a quote like this— “Gee whiz! We really thought—based on expert landuse-planner advice—that encouraging local planning boards to upzone and introduce ever more conditional-use prescriptions would result in a desirable growth of housing and small business investment. It didn’t, we’re sorry, and we’ll get back to more transparent planning and zoning rules.” Nor, on outmigration of young families with children, the middle-class in general, or the upper-income quintile fleeing anticipated targeted (on them) tax increases— “Gee whiz! We didn’t think that our policy decisions would drive away these critical-to-our-future demographic sectors. We realize our mistake, we apologize, and we’ll reverse these policies”. You can summarize your reasoning process with this: when policies promised as productive produce observable results you consider destructive, what’s left is a pleased celebration of above-average-intelligence Golden Domer policy: “We’re getting the results we’ve wanted all along.” Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
Michelle in the spotlight M
ichelle Obama was on the “Larry King Live” television show last week. I’m no expert on body language, but she looked to me like she’d rather be sitting at the island in the kitchen of a nice upper middle-class suburban home, washing arugula, watching Oprah on the TV, and waiting for her kids to get off the school bus so they can make cup-cakes together for the evening’s movie time. I detect in Michelle Obama a longing to be able to hit the town without a squad of taxpayer-paid people primping and dressing her so close to the bone that her teeth hurt. I see in her a longing to drive her kids to Wal-Mart, dressed in ratty sweats, to buy paper plates for one of her daughter ’s birthday parties, without needing a convoy of black, armored SUVs to keep them safe. I see her wishing her kids could share a teeter-totter, minus the U.S. Secret Service staked out in the sandbox. Every time I see the lovely Michelle Obama I think, oh yeah, she wants to be wearing that straight jacket of a dress with her hair piled and turned into the shape of a balloon animal, propped atop her head, her feet jammed into fancy shoes while she’s being filmed by a digital nerd who’ll edit shots of her—bad angles and all—into a ninesecond videoclip that’s to be fed to a world full of people (who’ll believe most anything she says for no reason other than she’s an Obama and the First Lady of the United States of America). I see Michelle wishing she wasn’t raising her family in the echoey international tourist attraction that is the White House. What a cavernous cold place to be living, albeit one with webpages numbering well into the hundreds. Far back when Barack started his run for the Democratic nomination, I had a feeling Michelle wasn’t too awful thrilled about the idea. My feelings were conjured listening to news reports and reading articles that, if you cared to notice, spoke rather clearly of Michelle’s hesitations about the run. The report that stood out as much as any was about Michelle’s saying she’d let him run if he quit smoking. It sounded like a cute made-for-the-media story, but I took it as a serious story; I think she was totally serious. If he quit, he could run. Well, the story goes, he did quit—for a while—and now he’s back at it. From what I’ve heard and read, Michelle was a hard sell regarding Barack’s running for president (when quitting smoking is a deal breaker, you’re reaching, no?) If Barack ran, let alone won, Michelle’s interest in rais-
ing her family-around-thedinner-table, would be threatened by a dad on the road 24-7. I suspect Michelle feels the best, most interesting, and important developmental years of her family’s life are passing too fast—as if in a dream—tempered and blanketed by the otherworldly odd and freakish structure that a First Family lives. What a waste of the best years of your family life it is to be stuck with your husband, and your children’s father, being president. What a mess. What a mess. I see Michelle Obama thinking these kinds of things and more. I never felt this way about Laura Bush or Lynne Cheney or, God almighty knows, Hilary Clinton. Not that I didn’t care about how those ladies were feeling when their respective husbands were president and vice president—it’s just that it didn’t occur to me that they might be feeling anything but fine about the position’s they were in. I think Hilary was aware her daughter faced interesting challenges being brought up as a First Kid; I think history shows they dealt with those challenges well. I just don’t think Hilary was wishing for a lifestyle other than the one she was living as the president’s wife in the White House. Hilary saw challenges in the lifestyle; Michelle sees burdens. We’re programmed to think life on the top, such as living as the First Family in the White House for gosh sakes, is the cat’s meow. Maybe it’s not. Maybe Michelle is riding around in the presidential motorcade wondering what the hell is going on? Ask Michelle if she’d like to see her husband reelected; if she was able to tap her gut core for the answer, I would not be surprised if she’d say something like, “Not really, no.” But I may be way off.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Article 2: Stafford Renovation Project: Jobs Now and for the Future
I
t has been impossible to miss the news articles about the economy and state budget difficulties. Add to this the recent sentiments of the commissioner of education, who is recommending further belt tightening, and one might think that the time is not ripe to ask voters for money. I would argue that now may be the right time to consider Article 2 that will be presented to Rutland City voters on March 2. In order to strengthen Stafford Technical Center ’s position as a contributing bullet to the economic development resume of the region, I encourage Rutland City taxpayers to learn more about Article 2 found under the bond Articles on the back page of the ballot. Stafford Technical Center was constructed in the mid 1970s. Over time a majority of the main building has undergone replacement of the heating and ventilation system, roof replacement, as well as other maintenance, health and safety updates. In combination with a major Federal grant, each of these changes has been accomplished within the regular budget. As part of the initial construction of Stafford in the 1970s, two temporary storage facilities were built, one for equipment and the other to house a forestry program. They are now used as classrooms by the Electrical/Plumbing, Power Mechanic/Welding and Forestry programs. Because of the age of the two buildings, work has begun to renovate them so that they will become permanently available for use for the next 40 years. The STC Regional Advisory Board, with support from the Rutland Public Schools Board of School Commissioners has completed Phase I, a renovation of the building used by Power Mechanics/Welding and Forestry. Article 2 supports Phase II of the renovation project. Benefits of Phase II will support the Electrical/Plumbing building and future instruction that will provide training in alternative fuels and renewable energy as well as training for boiler technicians. In addition, aging heating systems located in lab areas will be replaced, resulting in yearly energy savings. Several work spaces and classrooms will be redesigned to accommodate future programming for both daytime and evening division students. Fire safety and code requirement updates will be included as part of
renovations to the main building. Article 2 will support renovations which are an opportunity to put local dollars to work. Ideally, the expenditures will support local businesses and simultaneously create educational opportunities for people to enhance their training and skills for future employment. The project is one that supports jobs now and helps support Vermont’s future employees. Stafford serves approximately 800 students in the Evening Division Program. One of those students, who is enrolled in training for a new career, was recently quoted as saying, “This is the last time I’m going to be laid off from a job.” His comments made me realize that the Stafford project is a bootstrap stimulus package funded by Vermonters for Vermonters. Gone are the days when we can rely upon the state or federal government to be the primary funding source for a local project. Article 2 is being offered to the voters of Rutland City because Stafford Technical Center is a legal entity of Rutland City schools. Payments on the bond will be spread over 15 years. The cost of this project to a Rutland City taxpayer is approximately $2-$2.50 per year. The reason that the cost to Rutland City taxpayers will be so low is that, as a technical center, Stafford is funded by all of the school districts in the county and its costs do not have a direct dollar for dollar impact on local property tax rates. What is not funded by direct State aid is shared pro-rata from all sending towns, of which Rutland City is one, albeit the largest single “sender”, accounting for about 25 percent of Stafford’s enrollment. All other towns represent 75 percent of the total enrollment and they pay the same per student cost that Rutland City pays for each of its enrolled students. As a result, this is truly a countywide project, yet one that is voted on by Rutland City residents. I encourage voters to carefully review Article 2. Lyle Jepson Director Stafford Technical Center Rutland

March 2 vote will affect New Haven F.D.
T
he Fair Haven Fire Department is seeking Voter support on March 2 to replace our aging 1982 GMC engine, now in its twenty eighth year of service, and our 1994 mini pumper, with one truck designed to fill both roles. This truck will be our first out attack engine on all fires in our district, and will also carry our extrication/rescue equipment. Used at motor vehicle accidents, this equipment is currently shoehorned onto the now-overloaded mini pumper, which was never designed for this purpose. As a department, we recommend replacement of these two vehicles with one multi-purpose apparatus. FHFD’s Apparatus Committee has spent well over two years researching and designing a vehicle that will meet Fair Haven’s needs for the next 20-25 years. In addition to enhancing our fire suppression capability, this design will save precious minutes during serious vehicle extrications. Also, the added storage area of a “rescue-engine” will allow us to carry all of our specialized equipment on a sin-
THE FINAL CHAPTER — Borders Group began closing approximately 200 of it mall bookstores in January. Waldenbooks, formerly located in the Diamond Run Mall, was one of the stores that was closed. According to the company, qualified employees were offered opporunities within Borders Group; displaced employees received severances. The latest mall shop closing creates another vacant store front in the county’s largest retail center. Photo by Angela DeBlasio

gle unit, readily available at the scene of any 21st century emergency, improving efficiency, effectiveness, and safety. Fire apparatus costs have skyrocketed in recent years, largely due to Federal mandates, including 2009 safety standards (approximately $12,000 cost), and 2010 diesel emissions standards (estimated $17,000-$30,000 increase). Article 3 seeks authorization to finance up to $225,000 for the purchase, as needed, to supplement the town’s fire equipment reserve account of approx. $230,000. We the members realize these are large numbers—we pay taxes, too—and we do not intend to borrow, or spend, one dollar more than necessary. On a positive note, interest rates are at historic lows, with one Vermont Municipal Bond Bank 10 year financing option estimated at about $20.00 a year/per $100,000 of assessed valuation. Please support the Fair Haven Fire Department on March 2 and vote “yes” on Article 3. Dave Ward Asst. Chief Fair Haven Fire Department Fair Haven
Support the Castleton Community Center To the Editor: Since 1998, the Castleton Community Center (the Old Homestead) has provided programs and services to help improve the quality of life for residents of western Rutland County. The Center helps seniors and disabled residents of western Rutland County remain independent. Over 5,000 rides were given last year for doctor ’s appointments, nursing home visits, adult day care, therapy, food, shopping and senior meals. In addition, over 2,100 meals were served on our dining room to seniors from Castleton, Fair Haven, Hubbardton and surrounding towns. The center offers health and fitness education, a walking trail and exercise programs to promote healthy living. Educational and recreational activities keep our seniors active and help improve the quality of life for them and their families. Our summer camp for children provides stimulating educational and recreational activities for children when school is not in session. The Castleton Community Center does not receive United Way funding. The center is supported through town appropriations, grants and the hard work of our members and volunteers. Castleton, Hubbardton and Fair Haven residents, please vote yes to support the valuable programs and services offered by the Castleton Community Center at the polls Tuesday, March 1. If you need a ride to the polls call the Center at 468-3093. Jo Ann Riley Director Castleton Community Seniors Castleton
PHS news To the Editor: As a high school sports fan, I am happy to see the Rutland Tribune is now reporting on Poultney High School sports and other news events. We understand a student at the school is providing the weekly report. It’s a nice touch for our community paper. It would be nice to see other Rutland County high schools—such as RHS and Fair Haven—follow PHS’s lead and start sending weekly news items to the paper, too. Mary Bregar Castleton
Partisan politics To the Editor: U.S. Senators Leahy and Feinstein's letter to President Obama last week claims "partisan distractions" are holding back progress of civilian trials for terrorists. The problem is that the senators are the partisan distractions. Senator Leahy’s motives to continue pursuing civilian trials for terrorists are completely political. He wants to showcase the trials in an election year, giving terrorists the same rights as you and I and that's wrong... Giving international terrorists expensive taxpayer funded show trials, played endlessly on 24-hour news networks across the globe, are not justice. Military tribunals and our armed forces will give terrorists the justice they deserve. Len Britton Pomfret Editor’s note: Len Britton is a 2010 candidate for the U.S. Senate in Vermont.
Poultney shop celebrates third year POULTNEY — Mary Lee Harris is excited about celebrating her Third year as owner of Stitchy Women in Poultney. To celebrate, she is inviting all the friends we know and friends we’ve yet to meet to join her on Saturday, Feb. 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for refreshments, third year anniversary specials, drawings and giveaways. In reflecting on the last three years, Harris said that retiring from 40 years in office management and accounting to running a yarn shop was “a wonderful idea.” Harris has enjoyed this time meeting new friends, learning new knitting techniques, including an attempt at spinning, and expanding her hobby to an occupation. She notes the benefit of retirement is enjoying the company of friends while knitting up a new creation and being surrounded by beautiful fibers inspiring new ideas; so many yarns and now there is time. Stitchy Women carries a large inventory of yarns, patterns, and needles perfect for all levels of fiber artists, from beginners to experts. We also offer classes and individual lessons as requested and invite all to join us every Thursday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. for a “sit and knit”.

H.S. cheering squads compete locally
Mill River Union Cheerleading Squad
Poultney Cheerleading Squad Photos by Catherine M. Oliverio
By Catherine M. Oliverio newmarketpress@denpubs.com The Central Vermont Cheerleading Competition took place at Keefe Gym at Rutland Intermediate School Feb. 13. Cara Gauvin, director, coordinated the day’s events. The audience filled the gymansium to its full capacity as it awaited the roster of teams. Excitement permeated the gym with spirit and a heightened awareness of the talent, synchronization, and poise of each team, especially with the onset of the music. D.J. Vince Allo of Phat Kat Productions entertained and energized everyone with not only each team’s choice of music, but also a wide array of current and past popular songs. The Pittsfield High School Generals from Massachusetts won not only the first place all
girls trophy, but they walked away the Grand Champions! “This was our first time competing in Vermont,” said Pittsfield coach Shavelle Dudley. “The states will determine if we qualify for Nationals.” Pittsfield performed with such precision and determination—they looked like pros out there! Top gun competition followed the team routines and included jumps, tumbling, and junior, elite, and coed stunts followed by the issuing of the team trophies and awards. The issuing of the awards filled the air with victory for teams and individuals, and the results were as follows: youth division, first Blue Mountain Union; and second, Peak Performance; junior division first, Peak Performance with Blue Mountain Union in second.
The middle school division in first was Rutland; second, Mt. Anthony; and third, West Rutland. Winner of the junior varsity division was Rutland, and Poultney High School took the first place varsity coed trophy. The other all girl winners were Mill River, second; and third, Brattleboro. Order of appearance: Mt. Anthony Varsity, Peak Performance-Open Team Performance, Rutland Junior Varsity, Blue Mountain Union Youth, Fair Haven Union Varsity, Rutland Middle School, Green Mountain Varsity Coed, West Rutland Middle School, Mill River Union Varsity, Peak Performance Youth, Brattleboro Varsity, Otter Valley Varsity, Mt. Anthony Middle School, Pittsfield High School Varsity, Blue Mountain Union Juniors, Poultney Varsity Co-Ed, Peak Performance Juniors, and Rutland Varsity.
Peak Performance Open Team appeared three times showcasing their new uniforms embossed with the phrase Fast Like a Ninja, Strong Like a Bull as well as advanced tiered stunts. The coed adult team ranges in age from 19 to 36 years old. “They’re playing for the fun of it,” said Peak Performance coach Rommy Miller. “We’ve been together for one year and meet on Sunday nights at the Rutland gym.” For information on joining the squad, call Miller at 802-779-4432. Rutland High School did not officially compete, but showcased its routine with such poise, energy, and precision with all sorts of stunts, tumbling, flips, and jumps. The choreographer, Steve Heath Huskell said, “Maybe Rutland will be going to nationals this year.”
Winterfest 2010
Rutlanders celebrate winter fun Annual event features outdoor activities By Angela DeBlasio newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — Despite frigid temperatures and overcast, the Sun made a brief appearance to warm attendees of Rutland’s Seventh Annual Winterfest. On Feb. 6, the Giorgetti Athletic Complex was the scene of this year ’s Winterfest celebration.
Organized by the Rutland Area Physical Activity Coalition and the Rutland Area Recreation and Parks Department, the event hosted a number of free activities including sledding, a snow maze, a story walk, snow carving, marshmallow toasting, an obstacle course, snowshoeing, and snow-shelter building. Local vendors set up tables and provided free food and hot drinks. More than 250 adults and young people attended the event. Organizers expected to break last year ’s Winterfest attendance records thanks to sunshine and new activities. The event wouldn’t be possible without all
of the wonderful volunteers and the sponsors including Rutland Recreation Department, Rutland Area Physical Activity Outdoors Trading Company, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont, Rutland Regional Medical Center, Green Mountain Rock Climbing Center, Hands on Minds On, Hathaway Farm, Mentor Connection, Rutland Kiwanis, Marble Valley Runner, Café Terra, Back Home Café, the Boys and Girls Club of Rutland County, and WJJR.
The firepit was a popular spot at Rutland’s annual Winterfest last week. Photo by Angela DeBlasio

Sowing cole crops, planning your vegetable garden rotation, and pruning woody plants are some of the gardening activities to plan for the month of March. Start seeds of cole crops, including broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower indoors under lights. You'll have transplant-sized plants in about 6 weeks, ready for planting outdoors a few weeks before the average last spring frost date. To get a jump on the herb gardening season, start seeds of basil, parsley, sage, and thyme indoors. Start seeds in flats filled with moistened seed-starting mix. Once the seeds germinate, place the plants under grow lights for 14 hours a day (timers make this easy) and keep soil moist. As you begin planning and planting your vegetable garden beds, remember to rotate crops: Avoid planting crops in the same family in the same spot more than once every three years. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant are in the same family; so are squash, cucumbers, and pumpkins. Many pests and diseases overwinter in the soil, so moving plants around can disrupt their life cycles and minimize your need for pest and disease controls. Most trees and shrubs are best pruned in late winter, after the coldest weather has passed. The exceptions are springflowering shrubs, such as forsythia, lilacs and azaleas, which should be pruned immediately after flowering. You can remove dead or damaged branches at any time. Cut branches of forsythia, quince, pussy willow, and other early-flowering shrubs for forcing into early bloom. Bring the branches indoors and place in a vase of water. They should bloom in a few weeks. Once pussy willows reach their peak, remove them from the water and allow them to dry; they'll continue to look great in dried arrangements. Plant begonia tubers in containers to get an early start. Plant them hollow-side-up in well-drained potting soil. Set them in a warm (70 degrees F) location and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Once you see growth, usually in 3 or 4 weeks, place the pots in bright, indirect light. Wait to plant outdoors until all danger of frost is past. Although April is the month to sow seeds of many flowers, some take longer to mature and so should be sown this month. Flowers you may sow early in March include dusty miller, geranium, heliotrope, impatiens, osteospermum, petunia, mealycup sage, torenia, verbena, and annual vinca. Flowers you may sow the middle to end of March include ageratum, coleus, dianthus, ornamental millet, African marigold, ornamental pepper, annual phlox, rudbeckia, scarlet sage, and thunbergia. Keep in mind that seed catalogs and packets often give "days to germination" which is the time for seeds to sprout, not the time until they are ready to plant outside. You can find these times for the above plants, and more, online (perrysperennials.info/consumer.html) in the Vermont Extension leaflets on Indoor Seed Sowing for Flowers (OH89) and Vegetables (OH90). Other gardening activities for this month include watching for and attending flower and garden shows, visiting a maple sugarhouse, and removing heavy winter mulch from perennials.
Farnsworth From page 1 lab for students who were expected to run every aspect of the business. Giving back to the community was always important to Farnsworth and he included this in the country store course by requiring that the students donate all profits to a worthy cause of their choice. During World War II, Frank instructed naval units at Colgate in both aerial navigation and physics. He did consulting work with small businesses in New York State and Canada. In 1990, he was honored by the Soil and Water Conservation District as “forester of the year,” for his stewardship and management practices on his mixed hardwood tree near Hamilton, his dedication to forestry and many years of cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. He served as a member of the Board of Directors for Great American Supermarket and the N.Y.S.& W. railroad. Frank was a 50+ year member of the Masonic lodge in Hamilton and had sat in lodge in Brandon as recently as January 2010. He was a member of St. Thomas and Grace Episcopal Church in Brandon at the time of his death. Farnsworth is survived by his children, Frank of Brandon, Vermont, Ruth Eldridge of Clay Springs, Arizona, and John of Bonita Springs, Florida; his stepchildren, John Martire of Hopkinton, Massachusets. Amy Martire of Worcester, Massachusets, and Beth Cutter of Ithaca, New York; and nine grandchildren. He was predeceased by his first wife, Ruth Coburn, his second wife, Elizabeth “Libby” Martire, and daughter, Nancy. At Farnsworth’s request, there will be no formal services. He donated his body to the Dartmouth Medical School and, when his final teaching assignment is completed, family and friends will take him to join both Ruth and Libby who await him on Mount Chocorua in his beloved White Mountains of New Hampshire. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his name may be made to the Ruth Coburn Farnsworth Scholarship Fund through the Stewardship Office at Colgate, or to a worthy cause or charity of choice.

Longtime television producer Jerry Munger of Rutland has been recognized by local public access station PEGTV for his commitment and dedication to area sports.

Munger is also the host of “SportsBeat,” a selfproduced interview show that highlights area athletes, artists and public figures and their prsonal endeavors.

Career Planning MiniConference
Motivational speaker Ed Gerety talked with PHS students about respect and tolerance on campus last week.
On Jan. 29, during Block 5, 9th-12th grade students participated in the PHS Career Planning Mini-Conference. Students signed-up for workshop sessions that appealed to them in areas such as resume writing, interviewing skills, job success and community service to help prepare them for the future. During the hour, they attended two workshop sessions lead by professionals from Green Mountain College, Castleton State College, BROC, College of St. Joseph's and VSAC. Meanwhile, the middle schoolers participated in a program lead by the high school's National Honor Society. NHS lead activities and discussions on each of the four core values of the National Honor Society: academics, character, community service and leadership.
Earth Fair 2010 Earth Fair 2010 will be celebrated on Thursday, April 22, after school in the Poultney High School gym. It’s getting to be that time of year again. Last year, the school community held a “rockin’” Earth Fair celebration that drew about 300 people from all over the area to Poultney High Schoo. This year ’s Earth Fair theme is Old Ways, New Days. “We will be looking at the practices of yesterday to learn how to be more environmentally sustainable and conscientious in our behaviors today. There are many creative ways to get involved with the Earth Fair. If you would like to participate and need help brainstorming ideas, please let me know,” said Principal Jeanne Oakman.

Ed Gerety Presents PHS hosted renowned speaker Ed Gerety Feb. 5. His presentation was entitled “Making Your Mark”. Gerety’s presentation “Making Your Mark” was a two part presentation. Program on Sexting: Public Welcome On Friday Feb. 26, several students from Stafford Technical Center ’s SADD Chapter, all of whom are involved in the Public Safety Services Program, and their instructor, will present a workshop on the topic of “sexting” during a Block 5 schoolwide assembly, which will begin at 1:25 p.m. in the gym. Sexting is a relatively new phenomenon which involves sending sexually explicit or provocative messages, cartoons, or photos of naked or semi-nude people by cell phone or computer. Sexting is much more common than many parents think. Sexting can be a form of bullying and can also result in a number of criminal charges being brought against the sender or receiver of the photos, particularly if one of them is a minor. Parents are welcome to join us for this important presentation.
Survey Poultney High School is working with the Vermont Department of Health and PIRE (Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation) to have as many parents as possible complete an online survey that will provide information regarding perceptions of risk of underage drinking and the effectiveness of an underage drinking prevention media campaign directed towards parents. The survey is for parents of students in grades 6-12. As an incentive for your participation, PHS will receive $1 for every survey that is completed, up to $100. The survey is online and will only be active until February 28th, so your immediate participation is requested. Please visit http://chweb.pire.org/vtparent to complete the survey.
