Policeman named a “lifesaver” RUTLAND—The Vermont Governor ’s Highway Safety Program holds the awards luncheon every year to give thanks to those who dedicate their lives to highway safety. Lt. Kevin Geno of Rutland City Police Department has been named the 2010 Lifesaver of the Year by the Governor ’s Highway Safety Program at its annual “Vermont Highway Heroes” luncheon recently. Geno’s thirty plus years of outstanding dedication in motivating others, building, nurturing and supporting programs and partnerships within the law enforcement community earned him the award. In addition to the Lifesaver of the Year award, three other awards were given: The Sgt. Michael Johnson Award is presented each year to a Vermont Police officer who demonstrates dedication to highway safety efforts. This year ’s recipient was Sergeant Allen Fortin, of the Shelburne Police Department. Sergeant Fortin’s recognition is for his outstanding dedication and commitment to traffic safety, child passenger safety, occupant protection, and DUI enforcement within the Shelburne and the Chittenden County area. The Fletcher Brush award, which is named for a Middlebury highway safety activist is for education and outreach efforts promoting highway safety. Tom Williams, of AAA of Northern New England, received the 2010 award for continuous dedication to the promotion of highway safety issues for the citizens of Vermont. The Engineering Award was presented to Amy Gamble, Agency of Transportation, for her untiring advocacy to bring engineering and behavioral disciplines together to solve Vermont’s highway safety challenges.

POULTNEY—Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean, one of the few humans to see Earth while standing on the surface of the Moon, is the speaker for Green Mountain College’s third annual Thomas L. Benson Lecture Series to be held on Earth Day, April 22. The title of Bean’s address is “Reaching for Your Own Special Star”. Bean, a U.S. astronaut and engineer, was the fourth man to set foot on the moon during the Apollo 12 mission in November 1969. He explored the landscape of the Ocean of Storms and later, as commander of Skylab Mission II, spent 59 days in orbit around Earth. Bean was the lunar module pilot on Apollo 12, the second lunar landing. In November 1969, Al Bean and Pete Conrad landed in the Moon's Ocean of Storms— after a flight of 250,000 miles and a launch that included a harrowing lightning strike. Bean was the astronaut who executed instructions

Bridal & Prom Gowns Featuring Prom Gowns from:
2.5 year old. Spayed Female. German Shepherd mix. I am an energetic girl looking for a “take charge” kind of person who will show me the way. I have become a little bossy so I am looking for a home with no kids and no cats or small animals. Other dogs may be ok as long as we are properly introduced and supervised.
5 year old. Neutered Male. Beagle. I am a sweet fellow who enjoys people and probably didn’t mean to run away except that my nose got the best of me and I was following Hank. . . blame it on him. I need a family to love and that will keep a close eye on the back door lest my nose get me in trouble again.
Snuggle 3 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Gray and White. I arrived at the shelter as a stray on March 21 and after a short stay I am ready to move on to my new home. I am a very affectionate kitty and I love to play with my toys with you. As you can see I have one eye that is not good but don’t worry, that doesn’t hold me back.
Mac 2 year old. Neutered Male. Domestic Short Hair Black and White. My brother Martin and I were returned to the shelter because our owner was on the road all the time and just didn’t feel that it was right for us to spend so much time alone. We are great guys and would love to stay together. We are very playful, affectionate and are waiting for our new family.

The Fair Haven Farmer's Market had a very successful season in 2009 and fed the local region. The market did this by having a handful of it's vendors accepting the Farm To Family Program Coupons. The Farm To Family program is set up to allow those who might not be able to afford fresh fruits and vegetables to use coupons given to them by the Vermont Department of Health. This is a federal and state program that is mainly for senior citizens, the disabled, Wic recipients, and those in financial trouble. Though the Fair Haven Farmer's Market is a smaller market of about 10 vendors on an average week, these vendors took in some of the highest numbers of program coupons in the state of Vermont. Ranking in the top third of redemption of program coupons. The 2010 Fair Haven Farmer's Market season will soon be upon us and we plan to start it out right. Organizers already have vendors signing up for the season and are taking applications for new vendors. The market released the 2010 season community events list. The regular market hours for the 2010 season are Friday's 3 -6 p.m. running from June 4 -Oct. 8 in the Fair Haven Park, on the green at the south end of the park next to the parking lot. For details about the market contact Sherry Smith, Fair Haven Farmers Market manager, at 518-282-9781 or e-mail: Sherry12887@yahoo.com.

Take time to plan your garden By Dr. Leonard Perry UVM Extension Service Tempting as it is, try not to just buy and plant. To have a successful vegetable garden you need to give it some thought ahead of time. When planning your garden consider the site, varieties, where they will go, and when you'll plant. Be realistic, only plant what you can maintain with harvest you can use. It is too easy, especially in the beginning, to start too large. A successful site for most vegetables, especially fruiting ones, should get at least 6 hours of direct sun a day, either continuous, or total from morning and afternoon. If you don't have a sunny site, consider leafy crops such as lettuce and spinach that can get by on 3 to 4 hours of direct sun a day. Root crops such as carrots and potatoes need a bit more light, 4 to 6 hours a day, to have some growth. Another important site factor, and one you can work around more than light, is the soil. A rich, well-drained loam is ideal but many aren't fortunate to have this at the beginning. If it is clay or sandy, add lots of organic matter such as compost each year in the spring prior to planting. If it is clay, poorly drained, or quite rocky, you might want to consider building raised beds on top and filling with a good soil. A flat site, or as near as possible, is best. Otherwise it can be hard to work on, and rains can lead to erosion. Accessibility of the site is important in three respects. It should be close to home, otherwise "out of sight, out of mind" may apply. If you don't visit the garden daily, or frequently, you may miss pest outbreaks and fruit that is ready to pick. The site should be accessible to a source of water. The site should be accessible as well by cart or even vehicle. If you need to bring in a load of compost, soil, or mulch, or remove debris, how will you access it?
How do you choose among the hundreds of varieties available, and which crops to grow? The first consideration is what you and perhaps family like to eat. Even if a crop is trendy or popular, if you don't like it and wont eat it, why grow it? Most crops have some, often many, varieties. These are particular types or selections with certain characteristics such as fruit size or color. There are some terms you may see in variety descriptions. A hybrid is a plant resulting from the crossing of other parent plants. Since you need these parents to make seeds of the hybrid, sowing seeds of hybrids wont give you the same plants. The other main group is the open-pollinated varieties, or those that pollinate each other in the field. They may not be as consistent, with all the traits of hybrids, but you can save seeds of these and get similar plants. If a variety is open-pollinated, and at least 50 years old, it may be called an "heirloom". When choosing varieties, look for ones adapted to your region. This may relate to ripening time, or "days to maturity", one of the key factors I look for in my northern garden. A great variety for warm climates, perhaps one you grew up with, may not ripen in time in a short northern growing season. A warm climate crop such as okra, for instance, has some varieties better suited to cooler and shorter northern seasons. A couple of cultural factors to consider in variety selection are disease resistance and plant size. Some varieties, tomatoes being a good example, are resistant to certain diseases. These are often labeled in descriptions with letters and a key, such as TMV for tomato mosaic virus. The more letters the better! Plant size relates to your site, and where these will be planted. Assuming you have the right match of site conditions to varieties, consider the size of crops and growth

habits. Tomatoes, for instance, can be more upright (determinate) or vining and sprawling (indeterminate). The latter may need more staking, or more room, or both. Then there are compact varieties suited to small spaces and containers. When sowing seeds or planting transplants, information on seed packets, labels, and books will tell you such details as seed or plant spacing in rows, and amount of space between rows. These are guidelines, as some recommend planting in blocks rather than rows. Depending on use, you may plant closer if harvesting small carrots or tops of plants for instance. The goal is to have enough space for plants to get the light and nutrients they need, without much competition, and for you to be able to weed and work among the plants. Once you lay out your plans roughly on paper, look at what plants are next to others. Where is the sun coming from? You don't want tall corn for instance shading out shorter plants. Some plants are believed by gardeners to help others, perhaps by repelling insects. This is called "companion planting" with books and articles written just on this
topic. You may try nasturtiums, for instance, next to potatoes to repel Colorado potato beetles. Radishes may repel cucumber beetles, leeks may repel carrot flies, and basil may repel some insects from tomatoes. Finally consider when you will plant. Some "cool" crops (like lettuce) can be planted earlier that other "warm" crops (like tomatoes). The two key factors are first and last frost dates of the season. Since these can vary, be ready with frost protection cloth or similar coverings.

Vermont, Valero Gas agree on tobacco sales Vermont Attorney General William H. Sorrell said that gasoline-retailer Valero, one of the nation’s largest gas station chains, has agreed to a set of measures aimed at reducing tobacco sales to young people at gas station convenience stores in Vermont and elsewhere. Five Valero gasolines in Vermont include
the brands of Valero, Beacon, Diamond, Shamrock, Ultramar, Corner Store and Stop N Go. Valero Holdings, Inc. and Valero Marketing and Supply Company agreed to change business practices and to pay 39 states a total of $100,000. Vermont’s share has not yet been determined.
More demolition planned at bridge site The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) today announced that underwater portions of Piers 6 and 7 of the former Lake Champlain Bridge are scheduled to be demolished on Friday, April 9, using underwater explosives. A backup date of Saturday, April 10th has been set. Piers 6 and 7 are located in the main navigational channel, which must be cleared by April 15, to comply with United States Coast Guard (USCG) requirements. After the explosive demolition, the concrete pieces will be removed from the lake bottom using excavation equipment. The explosive demolition work is being done by Alpha Drilling and Blasting of Queensbury, N.Y., as a subcontractor to Harrison and Burrowes Bridge Constructors of
Glenmont, N.Y., the prime contractor for the demolition work. The plan is to demolish the two piers simultaneously. Ferry service running between Crown Point, and Chimney Point will be suspended temporarily during demolition, but will resume shortly afterward. The explosive demolition will be scheduled during nonpeak travel times in order to minimize the impact on ferry traffic. During the blast, USCG will establish a 1,500-foot safety zone, which will revert to the current 300-foot safety zone after the blast is complete. NYSDOT's continuing work to demolish and remove remnant of the former Lake Champlain Bridge is on schedule to allow construction of the new bridge to begin later this spring. USCG requires the entire bridge to be removed by June 1. 65885

Political jokes L
ots of folks ask me if I like making jokes about politics. I don’t, simply because my mine doesn’t flow toward that realm. Recently though I’ve written something, not so much about politics, but about a political figure. What follows is the joke that I’ve performed now a half dozen times. It’s working like a charm. I thought I’d type it down hard and see if it translated to the page as funny. Well, I’m not sure it does. I am sure though that pace and timing is key when performing comedy. I’m also sure saying certain words on stage feels less, ah, let me see, less like someone will take offense, then if the same words are written. Below, I’ve felt I had to change a few key words for them to pass the printable test. Funny that when folks hear certain words they’re fine with them, but reading the same words can rile them. What’s written either carries more weight, or, I’m a guy who can color words better when I say them, then when I write them. Probably none of this is making sense. Maybe if you go back and read it to yourself aloud it will. So read and see if you think it’s funny at all, and if you don’t, someday maybe you’ll hear me do it on stage, and if you do, I’m going to bet you’ll chuckle in spite of yourself. BTW, no offense to the subjects, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind. It’s a joke after all— Got a new President, Barack Obama. Won the Nobel Peace Prize. Some people wonder why. He’s trying to stop bad economy, trying to stop bad education, trying to stop bad environment, trying to stop Osama Bin Laden, trying to stop poverty, trying to stop two wars. Can’t even stop smoking. Not a very good example for the kids is it, Barack? And everyone says how smart Barack is. If he’s so smart wouldn’t you’d think he’d be smart enough to figure out he might be wise to stop smoking and like, take up tinkerin’ around with interns or something? (In the show, tinkerin’ around with interns is replaced by something else. Guess what the something else is, insert it, read it again, then get mad at yourself for guessing it correctly and laughing, instead of at me for writing it) I’m not thinking ol’ Barack will tinker around with interns ‘cause he’s married to Michelle; she’s no joke with them arms, and if she gets wind he’s tinkering around with interns, ol’ Michelle would smoke Barack. Yup, Michelle’d toss a few picnic tables out onto the West Wing
No such thing as absolute time
WEDNESDAY April 14, 2010 lawn, invite the Republicans over and have herself a Barack Obarmaque. Followed up with a Barack Obombfire. She’d say, “You wanted to smoke Barack, there you go, you’re smokin’ now.” I feel sorry for Barack. He’s the leader of the free world, the most powerful man in the universe, and he lives with his mother-in-law. Yeah, Michelle’s ma lives with them in the White House. He’s got his ma-in-law, Michelle, his two daughters, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi sniffin’ around his behind all the time. Stop smoking cigarettes, heck, I’m pretty sure in a few weeks he’s going to need to take up smoking weed. Get to his Blackberry, text his old Chicago buddy Mayor Marion Barry and order up some grass—ease his nerves a little bit. (Here again is an edit. In the show I replace weed with something that former Chicago Mayor Marion Barry enjoyed on hidden camera. It’s white and rhymes with flack. It’s a more harsh choice and I feel like writing it would be over the top, but man oh man, how folks think it’s funny when I say it on stage. Folks just like you.) And if he serves another term, his little girls, his kids, will be full grown women, and if the Moon shines just right he could have all six women harping on him all on the same day. Navigate that, Barack. (Edit alert. Moon shines might give you a clue as to what I replace, harpin’ on him, with on stage) That’s why they gave him the Nobel Peace Prize. That’s the joke folks. I just read it and it's not really very funny. Maybe it's only funny on stage because I'm funny looking, really, that could be most of it. Remind me to never write a joke book.

A
lbert Einstein’s calculations regarding the speed-of-light axiom demonstrated one rule of the universe that cannot be violated: time is not absolute. There’s no such thing as a Greenwich Mean Time in space; television sci-fi producer Gene Roddenberry’s fictional dream of a universal stardate calendar is an impossibility, too (well, you’d have to find an energy field that exists—instantly—throughout space to get around Einstein’s no absolute time rule). Regarding Einstein’s calculations, two observers By Lou Varricchio in space cannot synchronize their on-board clocks to a standard time. The two observers, separated in space, are also separated in time; they cannot see both clocks showing synchronized time. Thus, the two clocks will never be in agreement—well, unless both observers and their clocks occupy the same space in time. The accuracy of atomic clocks is frequently touted to be accurate to within 0.000000001 or 10-9 of a second (a billionth) or more. Sounds wonderful, except for the fact that the accuracy works only when an observer is standing alongside the clock. Move away from the atomic clock, and light will affect the observed and the instrument’s accuracy will begin to drift. One example frequently cited regarding atomic clocks and absolute time is to place a clock and an observer at opposite ends—at the goal posts on a football field. The billionth of a second accuracy of the atomic clock in the football stadium will appear less accurate when measured by the observer at the opposite goal post. The drift may be a microsecond or 1,000 billionths of a second in time. Ok, sounds like splitting hairs, you might be muttering—but over vast distances the accuracy drift becomes, well, astronomical. If you leave the atomic clock at the football goal post and then rocket the observer to the Moon—250,000 miles away—the clock’s accuracy drift will show 1.33 seconds. Still hairsplitting, you say? Now imagine moving the observer out through the solar system, past Pluto, and on into the mysterious Kuiper Belt region of comets and ice asteroids—and beyond. Atomic clocks become the final arbiters of Einstein’s calculations about the lack of absolute time in our universe. Can anything travel faster-than-light (FTL) to get around the limits of keeping absolute time in space? Maybe but only on a quantum level. Some experiments since the 1980s have demonstrated that FTL may be possible, but only across amazingly short, quantum distances. To move large amounts of data or humans in a spacecraft FTL will remain in the realm of science fiction for the foreseeable future. What’s in the Sky: After 9 p.m., in the WNW, the crescent Moon offers some beauty and challenges throughout April. Venus hovers below the Pleiades.

t’s been more than a quarter-century since “A Nation at Risk” was written, widely published, even more widely (in non-educator circles) agreed with, and even-even more widely (in educator circles) ignored. The April ’83 report by the National Commission on Excellence in Education is probably most well-known for its quote “if an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre education performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war”. It’s least well-known for the Educational Excellencies’ misspelling of “judgment” in their very first paragraph. Its recommendations for a high school curriculum composed of the New Basics --4 years of English, 3 years of Math, 3 years of Social Studies (an amalgam of the earlier History and Geography with some doctrinal multi-culturalism thrown in) and a half-year of Computer Science (remarkable at a time when a Personal Computer was then still a rarity and IBM itself foresaw the industry future in corporate main-frames rather than pocket-size portables) were never overtly challenged; they just went blithely disregarded. Maybe that was partially because the written critique wasn’t particularly welcomed by the intellectually superior educator class, coming as it did from an Administration whose Chief Executive they typically referred to as “an amiable dunce”. Another cause-for-enlightened-educator-disdain might have been that “basics” aren’t as much fun for educational theorists as non-basics: since 1964 retired New York State school superintendent John Henry Martin had been trolling remarkably successfully for lavish funding for his magnet schools concept, and indeed in the classic example of the case, only a year after “A Nation at Risk” (1983) a federal judge was ordering (1984) the Kansas City schools to build attractions ranging from TV studios and a zoo to a robotic lab and a model UN auditorium (not the same thing) in order to, among other goals, improve student achievement. Not much in Judge Russell Clark’s ruling requiring more attention to basics and more application of standards to measure achievement. It never worked as promised, a whole ‘nother story. A Federal measurement of student achievement, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, using tests based on standards, each matched to a given grade level, had been initiated a dozen years earlier, and it likewise went mostly ignored, the consistently dismal student scores (averaging in the low 200s out of a possible 500) went locally unpublished, and class subject matter continued to move away from, say, grammar and multiplication tables towards, for example, the adoption of “creative spelling”, teaching of Ebonics as a real language, the New Math adoption of “set theory”, and the maybe-not-apocryphal story of the arithmetical exercise asking “if four loggers can each clear a half-acre a day, how many wilderness hectares can they destroy in a week and how will the dispossessed wildlife feel?” Ignored until 2001, that is. The National Assessment of Educational Progress uses a small sample of students in each State to gauge achievement in reading, math, science, and even, according to the website, arts and civics at the 4th and 8th grade levels, and the results have been published annually in the National Digest of Educational Statistics, enabling those who choose to look to see how, for example, MA frequently came out better than MI (lots of publicity in MA) and how even MA shows a student proficiency rate of about a third (not a lot of publicity in MA) and how test scores have held stagnant
even as class sizes have shrunk and inflationadjusted spending has quadrupled. But in 2001 a new federal rule required that schools get almost all their students to “proficient” by 2014, or else, and the system instantly objected, arguing that getting students to proficient wasn’t their responsibility in any measurable way. They sued the Feds, in a Vermont-led lawsuit, for more money. And test scores haven’t gone up, even as the deadline year 2014 has approached. It’s now only 4 years away; a new tactic is needed. In Vermont, for example, the average 4th grade reading score is 229, compared to the “proficient” cut-point of 238. Multiply that by 49 other states and a D.C., and you get a political situation wherein Prez 44 announces that he will (in a quote from a Wall Street Journal, March 23 op-ed) “…junk NCLB’s requirement that students be proficient in reading and math by 2014, and replace it with an equally unrealistic goal (if you take the words at face value, I would add) of making all kids “college-ready” by 2020”. Roughly a third of those who matriculate aren’t really college-ready now, and require remedial (that means highschool-level) courses, content their teachers had chosen not to teach, or the students had chosen not to learn, in classes at the high school level that would now be mandatory within the halls of supposedly-higher-ed ivy. “Collegeready”, I would guess, is the phrase chosen to replace numerical test scores precisely because it lends itself to any sort of non-quantitative subjective interpretation needed to conceal the actual facts of semi-illiteracy and –numeracy which prevail for the majority of high school grads. To revert to the football analogy in the caption of this column, it’s the declaration that a 3-point punt be valued, when “deemed” necessary, right up there with the unachievable 6-point touchdown, which has become something it’s preferable not to talk about any more. The history of public education’s response to the 40year-old NAEP tests with quantitative scoring of achievement, and the 10-year-old NCLB requirement that such scores be used to prove “proficiency” in basic subject matter, has been first to ignore and then to punt; the adoption of easier tests (to finesse the NCLB “proficiency” requirement) than the NAEP series by 49 States was intended (with plausible deniability, of course) to generate seemingly better numbers without actually doing better instruction. In Vermont, for example, the 2/3 or so of students who can’t make “proficient” on the Federal tests become the 2/3 or so who miraculously can, on the alternative NECAPs. To use yet anther analogy, it’s the Gresham’s Law principle –“bad money drives out good”— in education, where deliberately-designed easier tests are purchased and deployed to supplant more rigorous ones, with the same intent: to deceive the gullible and reward the issuers. I’d like to be able to summarize with evidence that parental reaction to these dismal historical trends has been uniformly negative, but the returns on “client satisfaction” are mixed.

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.

Orwell man created the TelePromTer ORWELL—Richard Bolivar Ullom, age 72, died March 30, 2010, at his home in Orwell. Ullom was born in Dover, Ohio on July 24, 1937. He was the son of Claude and Deretha (Bolivar) Ullom. He moved to Connecticut in 1950. He worked as a draftsman and tool designer at Dura Plastics and later with Warren Condit Manufacturing Company. He designed and manufactured the Diamond Lights at the Lincoln Center in New York City. Ullom, with Warren Condit, were best known as the designors, builders and assemblers of the world’s first TelePrompTers that were used in television broadcasting before the comput-
er age. He and his wife owned and operated Chipman Point Marina in Orwell since 1994. He enjoyed sailing, camping and animals, especially wildlife. A memorial service “In Celebration of his Life” is being planned towards the end of May, 2010. A date and time will be announced later. Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers may be made, in his memory, for the benefit of The Volunteers at Porter Hospital, 115 Porter Drive, Middlebury 05753. Arrangements are under the direction of the Miller and Ketcham Funeral Home in Brandon.
RUTLAND—The topic of pre-marital and teen sex will take centerstage at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Rutland on Wednesday, April 28, 7-9 p.m. Local students in 6th through 12th grade will hear a powerful message about sexual abstinence. "You really have to be strong in your belief and in the promises you've made to yourself," said Martha Mitchum, who signed the Silver Ring Thing promise in 2008 to remain a virgin until she is married. Silver Ring Thing, or SRT, is a national Christian ministry helping young people to avoid pre-marital sex and prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as herpes and HIV. "The program means a lot to me personally, just with remaining abstinent and God calling me to do that. Biblically, he has called us to have a pure lifestyle," said Tara Caldwell, a 19-
year-old student who took the SRT vow in 2008. Sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy are addressed as part of the program. It's the first time the program is coming to Vermont. "Statistics tell us all the time that kids are jumping into sexual promiscuity at a very young age, and they don't really understand the consequences. That's why we, as a church, wanted to tackle a pretty tough subject," said Rev. Brent Freeman who has been involved with the program outside Vermont. The SRT programs invite participants to wear a silver ring until they get their actual wedding band. Then, they turn the silver ring over to their spouse. If they change their mind along the way, they're asked to get rid of it. "You have to watch your actions, and if you're going to go out and live an unpure lifestyle, people are just going to be calling you hypocrites, so it's point-

less to wear the ring," said Mitchum. The program will reach out to young people who are already sexually active, inviting them to take a new vow of celibacy. The Silver Ring Thing was recently presented to about 10,000 Tennessee students with about 65 percent of the boys and girls taking a ring and making a pledge to wait until marriage. The event at the Paramount, located at 30 Center St., is scheduled 7-9 p.m.; doors open at 6:15 p.m. A parents session starts at 7 p.m. Advance tickets are $5 until April 21, $8 after April 21 and at the door.

WEDNESDAY April 14, 2010
It’s a bird, it’s a plane—it’s Daniel Rocket! “The Rise and and Rise of Daniel Rocket” first presented at Playwrights Horizon in New York City in 1982, was only the second play by Peter Parnell to be produced in New York, but one could sense the playwright’s vision. He regarded the trauma of growing up with a sweet disposition and a childlike innocence. The hero is a propulsive romantic figure driven to outrageous acts by his love for a young woman and by his need to prove himself. Daniel Rocket simply takes off. flying into the air. It's Birdy, it's Superman, it's Peter Pan—it's Daniel Rocket. This is a dream-ofglory play, and until it brushes sentimentality with a Don Quixote conclusion, it sheds a small shaft of sunlight. Daniel Rocket is the outsider in his sixthgrade class, shunned by his schoolmates except for his friend Richard who listens to, and encourages, his experiments. For years, Daniel has been a secret flier, and, strapping on wings—for effect, not out of necessity— he soars off Hatch's Cliff. Before he flies away from his childhood, he visits Alice, the girl he loves who, confronted with Daniel's destiny, finds herself glowing with excitement. The author is clearly observant about the peer pressures of youngsters in packs. Boys and girls are like warring armies, with occasional desertions as one discovers a crush, falling quickly in and out of love. The director, Peter Marsh of Rutland, has directed over 130 productions in 40 years. He spent many years as a local high school
theatre director at West Rutland and then at Mill River. He has directed “A Christmas Carol”, “Cinderella Waltz”, “White Liars/Black Comedy”, “Twelve Angry Men (Jurors)”, and “Almost, Maine”. He is also one of the company’s producing directors. Cast in the local show are Frank Wright as Daniel Rocket, Wheaton Squier as Richard, Laura Steere as Alice, Ken Holmes as Roger, Mark Zelis as Steven, Adam Desautels as Jeffrey, Jenel Ronn as Penny, Bridget Scott as Judy, Wendy Savery as Claudia, and Ilene Blackman as Mrs. Rice. The play is stage managed by Sandra Gartner, and assistant stage managed by Michelle Ross. The lighting design is by David Lane, set design is by JP Gagne, music is created and played by Ron Pulcer, properties design is by Ruthellen Weston, Shona Marston and Tom Brown, costume design is by Nancy Ellery, make up and hairstyles is by Jane Campeau, set construction is by Mike Lovullo, Jr. and graphic design is by Grove Illustration and Design: Marna Grove. Reservations are available by calling the Paramount Community Box Office at 802775-0903 or by going to the West Rutland Town Hall. Tickets will be sold at the door on all nights of performance. Tickets are $18 for general admission. There will be a student rush at a ticket price of $8 starting at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 21 for all students.

RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 7
Castleton sweeps Farmington in Pink-for-the-Cure event Freshman Taylor Lively (Greenfield, Mass.) pounded the strike zone throwing 72 strikes on 86 pitches while striking out eight batters to earn her first-collegiate shutout in game one and Hilary Bemis (Crown Point, N.Y.) pitched a complete game in game two as the Castleton State College softball team swept Maine-Farmington, 3-1 and 3-2, in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) action last week. Castleton donned pink uniforms and socks in support of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The Spartans held a 50/50 Raffle, and sold T-Shirts with all proceeds benefitting the cause. The Spartans move to 9-12 overall on the season and 2-2 in NAC play. The Beavers fall to 2-4 overall and 2-2 in the NAC. In game one, Lively went the distance allowing six hits, no runs and no walks to improve to 3-2 overall on the season. Me.Farmington starter Jessica Timmreck (Brunswick, Maine) suffered the loss in the pitcher ’s duel on six innings, five hits, two earned runs, two walks and one strikeout. After two-and-a-half scoreless innings of play, Mercedes Maltbie (Warrensburg, N.Y.) broke open the pitcher ’s duel with a leadoff home run on the first pitch of the inning to deep left center field to give Castleton a 1-0 lead. Catcher Stephanie Wright (Guilford, Vt.) pushed the Spartans ahead 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning driving home right fielder Abbey Hewes (Salt Lake City, Utah) from second base with a two-out RBI single through the 5.5-hole. The Beavers offense threatened in the top of the sixth inning as McKell Barnes
(Durham, Maine) led off the frame with a double to right center. Shannon Mitchell (Portsmouth, N.H.) followed with a single to center but Barnes was gunned down at home plate on a perfect throw by Caylee Fleury (Barre, Vt.) from centerfield to keep Farmington off the scoreboard. Castleton continued to showcase the leather in the inning as Hewes robbed Lily Barry (Hermon, Maine) of a base knock with a diving catch towards the infield. Lively punched out Samantha Morency (Lewiston, Maine) to strand Mitchell at second and maintain the shutout. For the Beavers offensively, Barnes and Mitchell both had multi-hit games going 2for-3 at the plate. In game two, Bemis gave up five hits, two earned runs, three walks and two strikeouts to push her record to 4-6 overall on the season. Whitney Page (Sorrento, Maine) was dealt the loss on five innings pitched, allowing eight hits, three runs (two earned) no walks and no strikeouts. After both offenses were held scoreless through three-and-a-half innings of play, Julie Benzenberg (Pine Bush, N.Y.) ignited the Spartans’ bats with a one-out double to the warning track in left center to put a runner in scoring position. Rachel Dube (Newbury, Vt.) pinch-ran for Benzenberg and came around to score after Hewes reached first on an error giving Castleton a 1-0 lead. The Spartans added two more runs in the bottom of the fifth as third baseman Shannon Jipner (Bristol, Vt.) found the left centerfield gap for a two-out two-run double for a 3-0 advantage.
Members of the 2010 Castleton Softball Team Pose in Pink Barry cut into Castleton’s lead in the next half inning plating Barnes on an RBI triple to centerfield. The Beavers made it interesting in the top of the seventh as Casandra Dyer (Freeport, Maine) smashed an RBI double to deep centerfield cutting into the lead at 3-2. Dyer, representing the game-tying run at third with two outs, was stranded to end the game as right fielder Rachel Clement (Gray, Maine) popped up to Blongy to end the game.
College discontinues skiing as varsity sport In a move to consolidate resources and strengthen other NCAA athletic offerings, Green Mountain College officials in Poultney announced that it will discontinue its men's and women's varsity ski programs. "It's always a very difficult decision to eliminate any sports program," said GMC President Paul J. Fonteyn. "However we have seen a steady decline in numbers of students competing on the ski team over the past few years. This move will provide more resources to build solid, competitive programs in the other 12 varsity sports we offer to men and women on campus." The decision comes in response to the high cost of maintaining a competitive ski program during challenging economic times, as well as declining student interest in the sport. Due to the cost of travel, race fees and

transportation to and from practice and meets, the college spends twice as much per student athlete in skiing as it does in other sports. In the recently completed 2009-10 ski season, three women and two men competed for the GMC team. A total of eight students competed in 2008-09 season, down from 14 participants in 2007-08. "Overall, the trajectory of our athletic programming is on an upward trend," said GMC Athletic director Marybeth Lennox. "GMC joined the NCAA North Atlantic Conference beginning in 2008, and we recently elevated the women's lacrosse program to a varsity sport. Tight budgets sometimes require us to make difficult choices. In this case, we felt eliminating one program was the best way to improve the experience for the majority of student athletes at the college.”

U.S. Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean on the Moon in November 1969.
to restore telemetry after the Saturn 5 rocket stack was struck by lightning 36 seconds after launch at Cape Canaveral, thus salvaging the mission. Bean and the late astronaut Pete Conrad explored the lunar surface, deployed several lunar surface experiments, and installed the first atomic-powered generator station on the Moon. Apollo 12 astronaut Dick Gordon remained in lunar orbit photographing landing sites for future missions. Bean's dusty lunar suit is on display in the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History in Fort Worth, Texas. After retiring from NASA, Bean has spent the last few decades of his life as a painter, drawing inspiration from the world as seen from lunar and earthly perspectives. Bean will be presented with an honorary doctor of sciences degree prior to his address. The Benson Lecture Series, named in honor of former Green Mountain College President Thomas L. Benson, aims to bring visionary speakers of national and international significance to the college campus. Benson was president from 1994-2002 and was the architect of the college’s environmental liberal arts mission.
History From page 1 Innovation that has Stood the Test of Time.” Brown and Hill won a prize for best use of primary sources on a project dealing with the history of labor of Vermont. "It was a great experience to learn about a topic that involves our hometown and one I hadn't really studied before," said Brown, “I also loved learning about new technology." Hill said, "I enjoyed the project because the slate industry is very important to our local economy. I also enjoyed working closely with the museum educator at the Slate Valley Museum." Jade Morrissey and Jayden Santos took home first place in the group performance category with a score of “good” for their play, “The Invention of Photography: Capturing Memories Forever.” The students strongly believe that attending the National History Day Contest will contribute to education in a way few experiences can. Such a contest is an exceptional opportunity for the students to hone their historical research, critical thinking, and analytical skills while meeting with students from across the U.S., as well as Guam, American Samoa, and Europe. The qualified students need to raise approximately $3,000 to cover the cost of the trip. Although they will be sponsoring a few fundraisers, they will appreciate any donations. For information on donations, please contact Keith Harrington at Poultney Elementary School at 802-287-5212.
