By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com ADDISON—An archaeological “rediscovery” has been announced at the Chimney Point site of the proposed Lake Champlain Bridge. It is uncertain if the announced rediscovery will affect plans for the new bridge to replace the 1920s span that was demolished in December 2009. Scientists have found a 1731 French fort near a standing pier of the old bridge on the Vermont shore at Chimney Point in Addison. "It's a hugely exciting find, one of the great and exciting finds of a lifetime really," Elsa Gilbertson, administrator for the Chimney Point State Historic Site, told news reporters March 14.

Tractor Supply to help local 4-H clubs
‘Kidnapped’ Chef Bob is lakeside news buzz By Catherine M. Oliverio newmarketpress@denpubs.com BOMOSEEN —Bomoseen’s Crystal Beach Search and Rescue Patrol has provided the Tribune was this late-breaking news tip: a curuous mascot named Chef Bob, created by the Lakehouse Pub and Grille on Route 30 in Bomoseen, has been kidnapped. What can you do to help rescue him? Well, chocolate—more specifically, chocolate cake—seems to be the perfect “ransom”. A make-believe ransom note, with cutout newspaper letters, alerted owner Brad Burns that he would be contacted soon. “Since the kidnapping, the Bob Bandits called and left numerous calls and clues in the form of pictures, phone calls and mailed letters,” said Burns. “They have asked for a very specific ransom for Chef Bob’s return, and that is Susan’s chocolate cake.” Susan Field, a cook and member of the Burns family, is known for her trademark and famed dessert, chocolate, chocolate cake, a cake that does not last very long. In order to ensure the safe return of Chef Bob, Burns has given into the kidnapper ’s demands and sacrificed himself by sitting on the ice. Burns has gone far enough to sit there holding Susan’s chocolate cake. To take it a step further, Burns has changed the menu to include the chocolate cake for those in need of their fix. Mascot Chef Bob has been watching out for everyone at the lakeside dining locale on Lake Bomoseen, especially when the lake freezes over to allow for many to skate off the back deck. Chef Bob loves hanging by the large martini glass icon sculpted out of the ice. The image, shown in last week’s Rutland Tribune on page 5, is illuminated every night while the lake remains frozen. Not only does hard working Chef Bob sit out on the ice and monitor the activities, but he also helps the Lakehouse to raise money for the Crystal Beach Recreational Department—that is, until his recent demise. If he is not returned, members of the community will not be able to guess the exact date and time that Chef Bob would fall through the melting ice. Last year, the inevitable hap-

A season of patience
I
consider myself a pretty patient person most of the time. I don’t honk immediately when the light turns green. It doesn’t bother me when I have to wait 10 or 15 extra minutes at the doctor ’s office. But there are times when I do lose my patience. Unexpected necessities, like car repair, really drive me crazy. I like to be able to get where I need to be and not worry By Rev. Krista Beth Atwood about transportation! I guess we all have things that cause us to lose our patience. In the Christian Year we have entered the season of patience, the season of waiting, the Season of Lent. My dictionary defines patience as quiet, steady perseverance, even tempered care, or good natured tolerance of delay. Speaking in terms of faith, patience is a Fruit of the Spirit. I’ve heard it said that patience is waiting without worrying. Patience is being long-tempered instead of short-tempered. Yet patience is not often encouraged in our culture today. We are told we should have what we want when we want it. Instant meals. Instant credit. Instant weight loss. Fast food. What ever happened to the idea that good things come to those who wait? We know the adage, but we don’t think it applies to us. We want good things, and we want them now. Maybe this is why Lent can sometimes be a difficult time of year. We know that good things come at the end of the season, including resurrection and new life, but we have to wait for them. Lent is a time of preparation and waiting. Preparation so we will be ready to receive these good things. Waiting so we will understand just how valuable they are. Around the fourth week of Lent I want to look around and ask, “are we there yet?” I’ve also heard it said that the opposite of patience is panic. Lent reminds us that it takes patience to be a follower of Christ. Priest and spiritual author, Henri Nouwen, writes about patience, “The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us.” During Lent we can be patient because we believe that God really is reliable and really does care. We have no need to panic because, no matter what, we trust God is with us. That’s not to say that our patience will be rewarded the way that we think it should. As one pastor put it, “God is not a Burger King God that lets us have it our way.” One illustration I’ve found helpful is to see patience as a perfectly baked batch of brownies. Fresh and warm, right out of the oven. When we make brownies, we can’t be in a rush. We have to be patient. If the brownies were cooked at 700 degrees for 15 min instead of 350 for 30 minutes they would be ruined. Some things are just worth waiting for. Maybe that is how Lent works in us. If we try to rush it, we won’t be ready. So we wait with patience as we prepare and allow God to work in us these forty days, trusting that what comes at the end is worth waiting for. Amen?

Marshall’s boulders M
arshall pulled to the side of the road and shut it off (his tote goat—a mini bike-type cycle, with tractor style tires, made for working in the woods)—off. “Hi, Marshall. How you doin?” “Pruddy good … how r you?” “Pretty good. I need to buy a couple, ah, boulders, how much are they?” “Well I sell em buy the pound don’t cha know?” “You sell em by the pound huh Marshall, well how much per pound are they?” “I guess I kin give em ta you fer four cents a pound.” “Four cents a pound. Let’s see, that’s two boulders, one ton a piece, that’s two thousand twice is four thousand … ” “Adda be a $160.” “Hundred and sixty dollars? Jeesh, Marshall, that’s awful steep for a couple a boulders ain’t it?” “Well by Jesum H. Cripes, they come with a lifetime garuntee.” Marshall is also the sheriff in the town. He’s got a fairly easy go if it, he don’t climb into his cruiser till around ten thirty in the morning; I say cruiser, it’s a nineteen seventy nine limited edition Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon, the kind with the aluminum wood on the side of it. He’s got a flash light duct taped to the roof over top of his head that he flicks on and off when he’s chasin after somebody. He’s got the siren noise on tape he flicks into a tape recorder sets next to him on the seat there; he’s holds a microphone down to that that’s hooked up to a speaker horn heads out the right side window, so that when he’s chasin after somebody he’s hold the microphone down there, flickin’ the flashlight on and off above is head so that he’s got to be drivin with his knee. He gets out of his cruiser around two thirty in the afternoon. He don’t patrol too much into the evening time, only when the megabucks is up over a hundred thousand and he can’t sleep at night anyways he’s so nerved up he
might win the gol darn thing. But he was out patrolin one evening, when he spied a white plater, make a roollll through a stop sign. Course Marshall had be quite particular about that intersection because that’s same one where the Rev. Price’s young son was killed tragically quite a few years back now. The Rev. Price only having one other child a daughter Emmy, who run off with one a them hippy fellers back in the late sixty’s, and they took off and went up into the Northeast Kingdom and set up what we knew as was the first hippy commune. We all remember the boys funeral. It was sad. The Rev. Price had been up on the alter deliverin his son’s urology - when he got so nerved up he begin to quiver and quake so badly, that he started a stutterin. And he has been stutterin ever since. And it ain’t just one a them faint stutters neither, it’s one a them kinds where you twitch. Course, I guess perhaps the most tragic thing that come out a the whole ordeal was that the Rev, Price’s congregation was never all that large, but my oh gory how you should a seen it dwindle after he started a stutterin and a twitchin through them services. You could imagine. With the flick of a switch, Marshall was in hot pursuit of the Queeb. (Canadian) To be continued.

The search for Earth II continues T
his month marks the first anniversary of NASA’s Kepler robot spacecraft mission. Kepler was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., atop a Delta II rocket in March 2009. Kepler is a bold mission that is hunting for exoplanets, perhaps even another Earth. There are certainly no guarantees of finding “Earth II”, but the way Kepler has been performing so far, an exciting discovery may be just around the corner. Kepler has already earned its keep: the spacecraft recently detected an atmosphere around exoplanet HAT-P7b, a known gas giant 1,000 light years away. Kepler ’s chance discovery was made even before NASA researchers officially started the science phase of the mission. Now that’s a hardworking spacecraft! In January, NASA officials announced the discovery of five exoplanets. Great news, but no “Earth II”—at least not yet. “As an astronomer, I’m particularly proud of the Kepler science team who have all worked very hard to make this exciting discovery possible,” said NASA Ames Research Center Director S. Pete Worden at a recent news conference. “This is a really cool mission and truly is what NASA is all about.” Worden said researchers expect to find several terrestrial-size planets between 2010 and 2012 with the aid of Kepler ’s complex telescope. According to Worden, “the Kepler mission is designed to observe more than 150,000 stars continuously and simultaneously for signs of Earth-size planets until at least November 2012. Some of the planets are expected to orbit in a star ’s habitable zone, a warm region where liquid water could pool on the surface.” Kepler ’s main instrument is the sophisticated 0.95-meter diameter telescope-camera; technically it’s called a photometer—a giant light meter—and is the largest camera ever launched. Kepler ’s photometer measures so-called dips in the brightness of distant stars. Here’s how it works: Because planets cross in front of parent stars (called transiting), starlight will “blink” as seen by Kepler ’s big eye. Using this blinking effect, a far distant exoplanet’s size can be determined—and all with just a tiny alteration in the parent sun’s brightness as seen by Kepler. With this basic information, scientists can then figure out the planet’s uppermost atmospheric or surface temperature, even figure out the world’s orbital period and the luminosity of the star. Kepler isn’t a very large space vehicle when compared to, say, the Space Shuttle or the Cassini-Huygens craft that flew to Saturn. It’s actually smaller than the Hubble Space Telescope, too. Kepler is approximately 3 feet wide and 10 feet long, give or take a few inches. But it looks a little bit like grandpappy Hubble. Kepler is currently orbiting our Sun and just slightly behind the Earth. And if all goes well, Kepler should keep working and looking for new planets for the next 3-4 years. Here are Kepler ’s primary mission goals, as outlined by NASA mission planners: 1. Determine the percentage of terrestrial (Earth like)
and larger planets there are in or near the habitable zone of a variety of stars. 2. Determine the distribution of orbits of these planets. 3. Estimate how many planets are in multiple-star systems. 4. Determine orbit sizes and planet reflectivities, sizes, masses and densities. 5. Identify additional members of each discovered planetary system. 6. Determine the properties of stars that harbor planetary systems. American actress Nichelle Nichols, who played Lieutenant Uhura on the early “Star Trek” television show and feature-length cinema series, has been an enthusiastic spokeswoman for NASA. Currently, Nichols is following the Kepler mission as one of its biggest fans. “Uhura” was on hand last March to watch the Kepler launch; she also has spoken to students about the import mission to search for new Earths. “Kepler is NASA's first mission capable of finding Earth-size planets,” Nichols said. “Kepler ’s first year in space has been thrilling and the best is yet to come!” What’s in the Sky: In the WNW next week, look for Mercury and Venus in the sky together. On April 1, one hour after sunset, both planets will be a mere 3.2 degrees apart. Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., is a former senior science writer at the NASA Ames Research Center.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com POULTNEY—The Poultney Area Chamber of Commerce will remember one of ts deceased members, an outstanding community volunteer, with a lasting tribute. At its regular monthly meeting March 10, the Poultney Chamber voted to adopt a new initiative called Feed the Food Shelf Day. It will be known as “Operation Brian Festa”, named in honor of the chamber ’s former treasurer and active food shelf volunteer, Recently, Festa passed away after a long illness. Bill Corbin, former chamber president, will chair the program. The basic premise is simple: The second Wednesday of every month will be known as Feed the Food Shelf Day. Residents may drop off one or more non perishable food items any time during the month at containers at designated drop off sites that will be located around the area. Announcements will be made monthly as to the location of the drop sites. Corbin and his committee will collect the items every second Wednesday of each month. The local Food Shelf, which is located in the Stonebridge, has been feeling the effects of the economical crisis as far as foodstuff supply is concerned and is extremely elated about

Helping local kids To the editor: Jack and Ruth Eckerd founded Eckerd Youth Alternatives with a belief in the inherent goodness and potential of all children. Camp E-Wen-Akee, in Benson, and Eckerd Child and Family Support Services, in Rutland, work diligently to achieve EYA’s mission of providing children and families with a chance to succeed by providing a continuum of residential and community-based treatment services. On May 2, Eckerd is partnering with Vermont Sport and
the chamber ’s initiative. “Everyone that I have talked to about the idea has been more than encouraging about it.”Corbin said. At a recent meeting held at Green Mountain College, attendees came up with several ideas to supplement the plan. Posters will be located around the area in the designated drop-off sites and other strategic locations. Each month we will try and publish the most needed items at the Food Shelf for that time. Each chamber member is being asked to bring one item monthly, to either the regular meeting, which ironically is held on the second Wednesday of every month, or if they can not make the meeting just drop one off at the chamber office which is also located at the Stonebridge. The first "Feed the Food Shelf Day" will be April 14. Watch for further announcements, which will contain the location of the designated drop off sites. This program is not just for chamber members but for any Poultney area resident who would like to give at least one item a month. “I know times are tough right now, but they are tougher for those folks who need our help”, Corbin said. If you would like to participate as a drop off site or need further information it can be obtained by calling the chamber office at 287-2010 or chamber members Bill or Nina Corbin at 287-5186.

Lady Cats still purring By Fred Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com Last week we told about how both the UVM basketball teams had won conference championships, and each had a ticket to the big dance. Well a week later the men, despite a valiant effort, lost their opener 79-56 to a Syracuse team that has a legitimate shot at a national championship. The women however upset the seventh seeded Wisconsin Badgers 64-55 in the opening round, and had a second round date with regional host Notre Dame this past Tuesday. The men played Syracuse tough, never going away. The Orange held a commanding 34-10 lead with 6:29 left in the opening half, and looked like they would blow UVM out of the gym. But the Cats turned it around and outscored Syracuse 15-3 to cut the lead to 37-25 at the break. But Syracuse took note and made sure they took control. UVM wouldn’t get any close then 13 the rest of the way, and Syracuse slowly pulled away in the second half. Syracuse had five players reach double digits, led by junior forward Wesley Johnson, who hade a game high 18 points. Sophomore guard Scoop Jardine came off the bench to score 14 more. Rickey Jackson contributed another dozen while Andy Rautins and Brandon Triche added 11 and10 more respectively to the 23
point win. The Orangemen went on to defeat Gonzaga 87-65 last Sunday and were scheduled to play Butler in the Western Regional semifinals this past Thursday night. Senior forward Marqus Blakely paced the Cats with 17 points. UVM got an additional 13 points from junior forward Evan Fjeld. The Catanounts end a successful 2009 / 2010 campaign with a 25-10 Record and an America East Conference Championship. In a much tighter contest the UVM Catamounts women’s team built up a 33-25 halftime lead over Wisconsin. The Badgers would battle the entire second half, and would cut the lead to two points, 46-44 lead with 6:38 left. UVM responded with a huge 6-0 run to go back up by eight 52-44 with 4:11. From there they wouldn’t allow the Badgers to get any closer than four points as the Cats hung on to claim the 64-55 win. Guard Alyssa Kerel led Wisconsin with 13 points. Forward Lin Zastrow added another 11 for the Badgers who end their season at 21-11. UVM was paced by senior guard Courtney Pilypaitis, who had a fantastic offensive night, pumping in 25 points. Fellow senior guard May Kotsopoulos contributed another 14 to the huge win. The Catamounts were scheduled to play the second seeded Fighting Irish of Norte Dame, who defeated Cleveland State 86-58 in the opening round.

School taxes not fair M
ontpelier should be trying to make the education tax system simpler and fairer. Instead, in the haste to cut general fund spending, Gov. Jim Douglas would make it more complicated and less fair—increasing taxes on middle-income Vermonters and lowering them on those with higher incomes. Sound crazy? It is. Most Vermonters agree that the fairest tax is one based on the taxpayer ’s ability to pay: a family’s school tax obligation should go up or down along with its income. Property taxes don’t work that way. They’re based on the value of the house. But when Vermonters lose jobs and income—as many have during this recession—school taxes on this fixed asset can become an unsustainable burden. That’s why the education finance law introduced “income sensitivity” in 1997. It allows most Vermont homeowners to pay their school taxes based on the amount of their household income rather than on the value of their house. This was not intended as a program for low-income Vermonters, but as a way to make the system fair for all Vermonters—and consistent with the Vermont Supreme Court’s 1997 Brigham decision. Under the current system, each town school district votes in the spring on the amount it wants to spend per pupil. Based on the town’s decision, the state sets the tax rates on both the fair market value of homes and the household income of residents in that town. Higher spending per pupil results in higher tax rates. The same spending per pupil in any two towns results in the same tax rates in those towns. Equitable between towns, the system is also fair for individual taxpayers and helps stabilize communities, as no family has to choose between adequately funding its school and keeping its home. Even with the income sensitivity system in place, however, a 2009 Vermont Tax Department analysis shows that middle-income Vermont households were paying nearly six times the percent of income for school taxes that their wealthiest neighbors pay: 2.9 percent, on average, ver-
70754
sus one-half of one percent. Nevertheless, as part of his fiscal 2011 budget, the governor has proposed lowering school tax rates for households with incomes above $90,000 and raising them for those earning between $60,000 and $90,000. A family of four with two workers each making Vermont’s average annual wage of $38,000 would fall right in the middle of the tax-increase category. Gov. Douglas also wants to require more Vermonters to pay school taxes on both property and income. Currently, that category includes only some Vermonters with household incomes above $90,000. Now, he wants those with incomes below $90,000—who may now pay based on income only—to pay property taxes, too, if they own a home worth more than $400,000. The Vermont House of Representatives looks ready to adopt at least this part of the governor ’s plan. Both of these changes increase taxes on middle-income Vermonters in order to provide a tax break for wealthier ones. The Joint Fiscal Office estimates that 30,000 Vermonters would see higher taxes from these changes. One of the governor ’s key complaints about Act 68, which he signed in 2003, is that it’s too complicated. His solution? Instead of one property rate and one income-based rate for each town, he’d institute a three-tiered income-based tax rate, as well as increase the number of people who have to pay on both income and house value. Under his system, it would be virtually impossible for voters to determine what they owe at the time they vote on their school budget. And if school boards cannot explain the tax consequences of their spending decisions to voters, local control becomes meaningless. Montpelier is taking education funding in the wrong direction. To become fairer and less complicated, the school finance law should simply levy school taxes on all Vermont residents based on their ability to pay. Paul Cillo

ThinkSpring!
Shake off winter’s chill & warm up to a new season!
The 60-degree factor: What to do when the temperature tells you it's time to get out in the lawn and garden type (sand, clay or something in between) amendments boost the health of your soil. Miracle-Gro Garden Soil improves your existing earth to build strong roots and gives your garden a jump start. Don't overlook your pots or other containers either. Start with fresh potting soil like Miracle-Gro Potting Mix each growing season. Once your plants are in the ground or containers, all will need to be fed periodically for maximum results so stock up on good all-purpose plant food. To get ahead of weeds and feed plants try a combination product such as Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed All Purpose Plant Food plus Weed Preventer.
L
ike an alarm clock for our senses and our gardens, the thermometer swelling to 60 degrees awakens us in the spring. We all get the irresistible urge to get outside, birds are chirping, animals come out from hibernation and plants start unfurling their leaves and flowers to color our world. 'The 60 degree factor' signals us that the end of large fluctuations between day and night temperatures is approaching. This allows the soil to warm up, which is necessary for seeds to germinate and young plants to take root, grow healthy and start the season out right. It also gets us interested in outside activities again - and inevitably we begin gardening. As strong as the urge is to get outside and get started, it's best to take a measured approach for the best growing experience and a beautiful lawn and garden this season. Start by making a list of projects and working through each, one by one.
Check your tools Before hitting the outdoors, make a stop in your garage or shed. Go through all of the tools you'll need in the lawn and garden. Is everything in working order and ready to be used again? Are the tines on your rake all there and sturdy? Check your hand tools to make sure none are corroded or coming loose from the handles. Sharpen your shovels, pruning shears and edgers. See if you have the gas and oil needed for power tools. Most importantly, take your lawn mower in for a good blade sharpening to ensure the best results on your lawn this season.
Start small and sturdy
Assess what plants survived the winter Next head for the outdoors to evaluate what is still there. Clean out your beds, give the lawn a good raking, and look over your perennials and shrubs. If you've just come through a tough winter, check for signs of distress. Do you have plants that have received too much moisture, sun-light, or exposure to the elements? Are plants over-crowded or have you lost some all together? Take notes on what plants may need to be moved around, replaced or purchased and what questions to ask the experts at the garden center.
Amend your soil Plants need the proper foundation of soil to flourish. When the ground is ready to be worked, start tilling and be sure to add amendments - nutrients. Regardless of soil
Now it's time to make the exciting first pilgrimage of the season to the garden center. Local weather forecasts can offer up some insight here since around 60 degrees is when seeds, grass and vegetable, start to germinate. Planted too early seeds have to wait for the soil to warm up and many annuals may still be at risk of frost damage. Look for hardier plants that will withstand cooler temperatures to start with. Pansies are a great way to add an instant burst of color to your planters and beds early in the season. Spring bulbs such as daffodils, tulips, and hyacinth can even be started indoors in containers and then moved outside for a pop of color. When approaching your vegetable gardening, look to quick-growing, early-season favorites like spinach, lettuces and peas. The thermometer reaching 60 degrees is a great indicator that it is time to get out and enjoy the great outdoors once again. If you approach the season by giving your lawn and garden the foundations needed at this time of year, you'll have a beautiful retreat to enjoy throughout spring and into summer.

Green your spring cleaning routine D
o you feel like Mother Nature set up camp in your home over the winter? Cold winter months spent indoors often translate to dirt and clutter buildup around the house. And, if you're like television personality Hannah Keeley, with those first few warm spring days comes the irrepressible urge to throw open the windows and get down and dirty with some serious spring cleaning. But before you get started, make sure to follow these simple tips from Keeley to keep your home clean and green.
Get rid of the toxic chemicals
Installing a more energy-efficient cooling system may qualify you for the federal government tax incentives for increasing your home’s efficiency.
The cleaning products aisle at the grocery store is teeming with spring cleaning junkies, searching for the latest miracle products that promise to whip their homes into shape. Resist the urge. Most of these powerful cleaners contain some pretty toxic chemicals. Instead, choose eco-friendly
cleaners, or just raid your kitchen cabinets. Vinegar and water cleans windows and mirrors beautifully. A little castile soap with water makes a fantastic all-purpose cleaner. And baking soda is the best scouring powder out there.
Conserve water Don't leave the tap running while cleaning - instead turn the faucet on as you're ready to rinse off. Better yet, collect water in a bucket for your cleaning needs. Sweep instead of mopping whenever possible and place doormats both outside and inside of your home's doors to catch dirt and mud, lessening the need to wash the floors. In the kitchen, only run the dishwasher when your family has a full load and in the bathroom, consider installing a new water-efficient showerhead to cut down on usage.
Wipe off your air vents Dust collected on your vents may re-circulate throughout your home's air. While you're at it, have your air ducts cleaned to remove any mold or contaminants that
may have accumulated throughout the winter. Schedule a tune-up with your local HVAC dealer to restore capacity and help cut utility costs. If you're in the market for a heating or cooling system upgrade, consider a new energy-efficient unit such as the American Standard Allegiance (R) 15 air conditioner. Many combinations are Energy Star-rated and could qualify you for the federal government's tax incentives for increasing your home's efficiency.
Recycle and turn trash into treasure Instead of filling your trashcan with all of the clutter you've collected throughout the year, set up a home recycling station for papers, cardboard, aluminum, glass and plastics. Be sure your recycling station is located in a place that is protected from the weather, pets or outdoor critters. Turn other items that cannot be traditionally recycled (toys, video games, etc.) into someone else's treasure. Collect your family's unused items and donate them to charity. Remember, if you don't use it and you don't love it, you don't need it.

Stress buster It can happen to anyone. Even experienced rose enthusiasts have lost a favorite rose to stressors like powdery mildew, drought, or extreme summer heat. Now science has come to the rescue to give your plants the fitness edge they need to keep healthy and strong - no matter what unpredictable heat spell, cold snap or disease should hit. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned rose gardener, you can enjoy success with a good plant-strengthening spray like Jaz Rose Spray, new this spring. This easy-to use, safe and biodegradable leaf spray was developed by plant scientists and endorsed by the American Rose Society. Jaz Rose Spray (www.jazsprays.com) contains jasmonate, which naturally occurs in plants and helps to keep all roses strong and resistant to disease, pests, excessive heat, drought, cold and salt. It works by boosting your plant's natural resistance to environmental stressors and encouraging vigorous roots, growth and blooms.

Renowned landscape designer Jon Carloftis plants
shrub roses in containers. "I like to give them perfect planting conditions such as good drainage, rich soil and the addition of regular fertilizer that won't be an overdose to neighboring plants," he says. Here are the basics for all those who are a bit rose-phobic and long for rosy success: * Sunlight: Provide your roses with direct sunlight for at least five to six hours each day. * Soil: Roses grow best in good soil with a pH ranging from 6.5 to 6.8. Till to a depth of two feet - adding a good organic compost or peat moss for healthy drainage. * Location: Don't plant roses too close to shrubs or trees that will compete for water, light and nutrients. Provide them with adequate space for air circulation. * Water: It's best to water rose bushes twice a week, thoroughly at the base of the plant. Avoid late-evening watering that can foster powdery mildew. Instead, water early in the morning to allow the leaves to dry before nightfall. * Fertilize: Fertilize roses every one to two months starting in the spring with balanced fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Stop fertilizing in late summer or early fall to prepare them for dormancy. * Drainage: Whether you grow them in containers or the ground, good drainage is necessary to prevent water from pooling at the roots. Improve drainage with tilling or raised beds and containers with drainage holes. So grab a shovel and get digging in the dirt and get set to enjoy beautiful roses.

Get a jump start on growing food and flowers this spring with raised garden beds
T
he popularity of urban gardening has exploded over the past couple of years, due in part to increased awareness about food safety, the financial stresses of the economy and a growing desire to be eco-friendly. Some of the most enjoyable, user-friendly gardens, like vegetable and herb gardens or cut-flower gardens, perform exceptionally well in raised beds. Plants tend to perform better in raised beds than in regular beds because there is less soil compaction (since you're not treading between the plants) and they allow for excellent drainage. "I've been gardening in raised beds for over 30 years, and I'm convinced they're the best way to grow," says Paul James, HGTV's Gardener Guy. "One of the things I like most about raised beds is that they warm up faster in spring and stay warmer longer in the fall, which means a longer growing season and an extended harvest." While raised beds are extremely functional, they can also add style to your yard or garden. The organized appearance of the beds lends a handsome structural element. Quality, durable materials last longer and look better. Western Red Cedar is a strong choice for building garden beds because it is easy to work with, rot-resistant and ages beautifully, maintaining its shape and strength over the years, even when ex-
posed to extreme weather. If you're concerned about the environment, you can take comfort in the fact that it is an authentically sustainable, renewable green building material. Making your own raised garden beds is an easy and fun project - having a helper will make the job easier. Follow these tips and get growing. * Plan ahead to keep the bed size manageable. A bed measuring about 3 feet by 6 feet is a good size. You'll want the bed to be at least a foot high - if you want it higher, just add another board, but keep in mind that you'll need to add extra soil. * Buy the materials you'll need: Western Red Cedar boards (2 x 6 work well) - four 3-foot lengths and four 6-foot lengths; Western Red Cedar posts (4 x 4), for corner supports, cut to 18 inches each; 3-inch galvanized screws, about 35 to 40. * Cut the ends of the 18-inch post lengths to a sharp point with a saw - these pointed ends will go into the soil to support the bed. * Lay two post lengths down and place two 3-foot planks on top of them (to equal 12 inches in height) and line up the edges along the sides and to the top of the posts (the unsharpened end). Pre-drill holes using a bit that is smaller than the screws, then put in the screws. Repeat with the other 3-foot boards and 18-inch posts to form the other short end of the bed.
* Now you're ready to add the long sides of the bed. Place one of the short sections you just made on a level surface, with the pointed ends up. Line one of the 6-foot boards up so that it is flush with the face of the short end, pre-drill holes and then add the screws to secure it. Repeat with a second 6-foot board to equal 12 inches in height. * Align the second short (3-foot) side of the box with the 6-foot board so that the face is flush with the end of the boards. Pre-drill holes and then drill in screws to secure. Finally, add the other two 6-foot
boards on the opposite side to complete the final side of the bed. * Flip the box over - it's now ready to install. Before you put it in, prep the area you'll be using by turning over the soil and then leveling it out as best you can. After you've installed the box, fill it with a blend of soil and compost that is best for the type of plants you'll be growing. This is just one way to build a raised bed garden. You can add more boards to give the bed extra height or length, or put a cap on top of the boards to provide a place to sit as you garden.

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MT. HOLLY-BELMONT — The Belmont Post Office is honoring Winter Olympics silver medalist Hannah Teter.

Seniors get help with Medicare, drug plans RUTLAND—As people age, health insurance becomes more important and often times more expensive. Older Vermonters on a limited income can find it difficult to pay the premiums, deductibles and co-payments connected to Medicare and Medicare Drug Plans, or to purchase private insurance if they are not yet eligible for Medicare. Vermont offers several programs that can assist with these costs: private health insurance (VHAP and Catamount), Medicare Drug Plans (VPharm), the Medicare part B premium (Medicare Savings Program), and the co-payments and deductibles not covered by Medicare (Medicaid & QMB). Eligibility is based mostly on income. To learn about these programs, who qualifies and how to apply, call the Senior HelpLine 800-642-5119 or 786-5991; this is a community service of the Southwestern Vermont Council on Aging serving Rutland County since 1974. Website: www.svcoa@svcoa.org, e-mail: seniorhelpline@svcoa.org.
College receives bank pledge payment By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND—Chittenden Bank presented officials of the College of St. Joseph with a check for $6,000, the fourth installment of a five-year pledge to support the Catholic college’s 50th anniversary campaign. The College of St. Joseph was founded in 1956, by the Sisters of St. Joseph with a curriculum designed to nurture an awareness of self and others where students gain an understanding of the role that ethics and compassion play in their future professional and personal lives. The college celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2006 and launched a capital campaign to address new and growing demands and challenges – student scholarship assistance, improved technology, faculty development and campus enhancement. The success of the college’s fundraising effort exceeded the $1,500,000 campaign goal when it raised $1,810,033.22 by the spring of 2009. With a successful campaign completed, the college began work immediately on improving campus facilities and their energy efficiency, upgrading technology in the classrooms, and expanding its endowment to enhance student scholarships and faculty development.

The palisaded log fort stood between 1731 until 1759. An 18th century map shows the fort exactly where it was found. In 1929, bridge workers saw the old fort’s stone foundation about a foot and a half from the bridge pier on the Vermont shore. According to the French National Archives, the fort was a square 125 feet on a side. As many as 30 soldiers may have manned the lakeshore redoubt. Archaeologists also found evidence of a nearby redware pottery works that lasted until the late 1700s. According to news reports, a 9,000-year-old spear point was also uncovered at the site in December.
