College to open biomass power plant From Tribune Staff & News Reports POULTNEY—Green Mountain College’s new biomass plant officially goes online April 22. Vermont Gov. James Douglas will cut the ribbon on Earth Day, an event recognized by environmental activists, to mark the official opening of the plant at a 10:30 a.m. ceremony. Instead of burning fossil fuel oil, the new combined heat and power biomass plant will burn woodchips; it is claimed to provide 85 percent of the school’s heat and generate 20 percent of its electricity. Number six fuel oil will now be used mainly as a backup to heat campus buildings. GMC officials estimate it will burn about 4,000-5,000 tons of locally harvested woodchips each year as the primary fuel—despite recent reports of low inventories of the renewable resource in Vermont. College officials claim net greenhouse gas emissions from stationary sources on campus will be reduced from 2007 levels of 3,420 metric tons to 546 metric tons of CO 2 equivalent per year. Officials also claim the $5.8 million plant will pay for itself over 18 years through savings on fuel costs. Only a handful of colleges across the country have claimed complete “climate neutrality”, largely through purchasing of controversial carbon credits. Enthusiastic claims of carbon and climate neutrality are frequently cited as hyperbole by global-warming skeptics. It should be noted that increased fuel consumption by truck traffic carrying woodchips to the power plant will likely negate some of the claimed carbon offsets, as was the case with claims by Middlebury College officials about their new campus biomass plant. Green Mountain College officials also claim that their ’s will be the first higher education institution in the nation to be “climate neutral” by 2011 after having reduced its own emissions by over 50 percent.

Senators, organizations want Vt. Yankee kept open At a news conference last week at the Vermont State House, four Vermont senators urged the Vermont State Legislature to consider the “Consensus Economic and Fiscal Impact Analyses Associated with the Future of the Vermont Yankee Power Plant” prepared by Tom Kavet of Kavet Rockler & Associates, LLC and Jeff Carr of Economic & Policy Resources, Inc. The analyses, based on information from numerous economic and energy experts, finds relicensing Vermont Yankee and adopting a strong renewable energy policy will yield “the largest average positive employment and other economic impacts, with immediate job gains, no job losses and lower long term power bills.” The executive summary of this report can be read on the Internet at the followung URL address: http://www.leg.state.vt.us/jfo/VY%20Legislative%20Brief-

ing/Economic%20Analysis%20-%20Executive%20Summary10.pdf. This independent report, commissioned by the Joint Fiscal Office at the request of the Vermont Legislature and 16 months in the making, reviews the energy and economic impact of four possible Vermont energy scenarios, and concludes Vermont would be best served by relicensing Vermont Yankee and pursuing more renewable energy. It was prepared in collaboration with Synapse Energy Economics, Inc., the Department of Public Service, Green Mountain Power and Central Vermont Public Service Corporation. Senator Phil Scott (R-Washington): “Vermont’s 21st century power portfolio and economy requires reliable base load power and the development of more renewable power resources. We urge the legislature to consider the long-term interests of the Vermont economy, environment, and quality of life. Relicensing Vermont Yankee and building more renewable power infrastructure will ensure that Vermont has a diverse, affordable, reliable energy portfolio.” Sen. Richard Mazza (D-Grand Isle): “This report is the product of thorough work and dispassionate analyses by well respected state economists. It provides important and comprehensive information that legislators should know so they can best help chart Vermont’s energy and economic future.” Sen. Peg Flory (R-Rutland): “The Vermont State Legislature should be proud of this carefully researched analysis on one of the most important decisions facing Vermont’s energy future. I encourage all of us to carefully read this study and its findings. Indeed, we owe that to the people of Vermont. When the Senate voted against relicensing, I proposed an amendment seeking more time to wait for the pending publication of important information, particularly this report. Had this report been available in February, the vote may well have had a very different outcome.” Sen. Robert Starr (D-Essex/Orleans) “This report outlines how Vermont can have job growth. This isn’t rocket science; our businesses need a reliable source of base load power over the long-term in order to create jobs and grow our economy.” Business and labor leaders who had also called for a “timeout” before the Senate vote, support the Senators call today to utilize the carefully researched analysis provided on the most important decisions facing Vermont economic and energy future.

The Great Recession To the editor: The current economic crisis—aka the Great Recession— has forced the governor and legislature to challenge every budget assumption and reconsider funding priorities. We applaud their commitment to preserving public services by reengineering how they are delivered.

Short-term savings that threaten the future of our children will also threaten the future vitality of Vermont’s economy. We urge the governor and the legislature to expand and protect the high-quality programs that produce significant longterm benefits for Vermont’s children, families, businesses and communities.

Mr. and Mrs. Pike H
e backed his lawn tractor from the garage, stopped, switched the shift lever to forward, traveled ahead cutting a half moon turn toward the road, stopped, then backed to within two feet of his house. Bucket and squeegee in hand he climbed up on the wooden toolbox firmly fixed to the rear of his lawn tractor. He did not use his cane. He wiped the window with a wet cloth then pulled the squeegee flush down the pane. The end of each pull elicited a slight mouse-like squeak. He didn’t interrupt his work to turn and visit. I ferried two meals through a large garage door opening and stepped onto a raised three by three foot pad of concrete, a landing, built to cut in half the distance from the garage floor to the door opening. A square of carpet lay on the neatly swept concrete pad. The carpet is old, but has retained most of it’s original color and cushion. Two knocks on the door and his wife of seventy years calls to me. “Come in,” Ora Pike says, sitting in her chair at the far end of their one level home, facing him, watching him spring clean. “Rusty?” “Yes, Mrs. Pike, it’s me. Meals on Wheels. I see Mr. Pike’s cleaning the windows huh?” “Yes he is. You know, back in seventy-one, when he had his accident, your father called and asked what he might do to help. I said, well, you can come clean the windows.” I placed two shrink-wrapped platters with Spanish rice, green beans, and corn, on the clean-as-can-be circa nineteen fifties kitchen table. When I considered a relevant period of time had passed since Mrs. Pike finished her thought, I threw my voice toward her direction, “did he?” “Yes he did. He came down and cleaned them.” “Huh. Yeah, he was a good guy like that, my dad.” “Yes he was.” “See you next week, Mrs. Pike.” “Thank you.” Usually, Mrs. Pike and I visit longer. Today I think she was a bit concerned about Mr. Pike and his spring-cleaning situation. He’s off the toolbox, standing on the ground. We most usually visit some - so we visit some. “Delivered to Mrs. Nichols before you folks,” I note. While shifting his body weight from one leg to the other, the broad smile on his face morphed into a look of concentration, “She was, I think, four years ahead of me in school. She must be … ,” he looked down, studying the ground as if the answer might be scrawled into the turf, “ninety-four I’d say. Or there abouts.” “You’re 90?” I ask, with all due respect. He answered with the heft of a man who will no doubt live to 100 years old, “I will be next month.”
Why pay for college, why read, why surf the Internet, when you can ask old people stuff? “Let me ask you something Mr. Pike. Other than an extra ache or pain in the morning, do you feel different now then when you were 50?” Before the words “do you feel,” are fully from my lips, he answers, with a smile, “Not a bit. I feel the same as I did way back. Oh, I can’t do the some of things I used to,” he laughed, “but I feel great.” A few more convivial exchanges, and we’re both back to work. He’s repositions the tractor to the far end of the house, in front of where Mrs. Pike sits, and climbs up on the box. Traffic holds me in the driveway, so I watch him; wetting the dirty pane with the cloth, wiping it clean with the squeegee; standing on the wooden toolbox he made and attached his self. It’s a precarious position Mr. Pike is working in. Precarious, if you are standing on your own two legs. Mr. Pike is standing on two artificial legs. In 1971, during sugaring season, if I remember correctly, while spreading manure far off at the edge of a cornfield, Merton Pike had a very serious farm accident. Lost both his legs. He was 51. For 39 years with the deftness of a Russian gymnast, he has farmed wearing prosthetics legs that attach mid-thigh; hinged stilts if you will. How does he do it, this Merton Pike? How does he climb up into the big farm tractor to haul hay, manure, and chopped corn. How does he drive, shop, blow snow with his lawn tractor, and rise to sing hymns at Sunday’s service. And how does he clean windows while standing on a perch barely big enough to accommodate an overfed underworked barn cat? Back on the road, I turn to take a last look at the spectacle that is Mr. Pike washing windows. And I see Mr. Pike, having turned to take a last look at me, is smiling, holding the squeegee and cloth in his one hand, waving with his other. All the while, balancing.

Can you say polyextremophile? S
everal microscopic critters alive today defy conventional ideas about the survivability of terrestrial life in space— Let’s take a look at a funny looking microscopic tardigrade, commonly called the water piglet or water bear. Tardigrades were discovered in pond water samples by Johann Goeze in 1773. Goeze called them Gleiner Wasserbär, a German term for Little Water Bear. Indeed, tardigrades look like miniature, cartoon bears; they are water animals which live their lives in and around bodies of water. The Latin name tardigrada means “slow walker”—these six-legged critters have a gait that looks like an animated Disney bear ’s walk. Of course water bears aren’t anywhere near the size of mammalian bears we’re familiar with; the biggest Gleiner Wasserbär is only 1.5 mm in length. If we didn’t know tardigrades were terrestrial creatures, we might take them to be tiny extraterrestrial visitors that hitched a ride to Earth on an extrasolar meteorite. Tardigrades are what biologists call polyextremophiles— that is, they can live in extreme environments that would otherwise kill other animals. In Russian experiments, tradigrades have been found to survive temperatures close to absolute zero; they also survive temperatures up to 300°F. In other experiments, tardigrades waddled happily through a radiation bath 1,000 times more deadly than an atomic bomb blast. Also, tardigrades discovered in 100year-old dessicated mud deposits were reanimated and brought back to life by researchers. Even more bizarre are tardigrades that have survived the deadly vacuum of space! According to biologist W.N. Gabriel, “In September 2007, tardigrades were taken into low Earth orbit aboard the Russian-ESA FOTON-M3 mission. For 10 days the creatures were exposed to the vacuum of space. After they were returned to Earth, it was discovered that many of them survived and laid eggs that hatched normally, making these the only animals shown to be able to survive the vacuum of space.” Here are two questions about the tardigrade that puzzle most researchers: How could a terrestrial lifeform evolve to survive exposure to the vacuum and high energy radiation of space? Why did tardigrades evolve an ability to survive a century in a kind of dehydrated suspended animation (especially when it already lives in watery environ-
ments with no geohistory of drought?) Were these microscopic creatures, and others like them, exposed to the environment of space in ancient times? Is that why they evolved such extreme environmental survival mechanisms? What evolutionary factors influenced this polyextremophile to endure the extremes of outer space By Lou Varricchio when it appears to have originated here on planet Earth? There is no clear solution to the tardigrade mystery at this time. What’s in the Sky: The Lyrid meteor shower occurs through April 24, with the peak of activity expected on April 22. Comet Thatcher is the source of the Lyrid meteor shower. An observer can see 10-12 meteors per hour. Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., is a former senior science writer at the NASA Ames Rsearch Center in California and an active member of NASA’s JPL Solar System Ambassador program in Vermont. He is a recent recipient of the U.S. Civil Air Patrol’s Maj. Gen. Chuck Yeager Award for Aerospace Education.

Stafford to expand summer offerings Stafford Technical Center will be unveiling seven new full-week summer camps for 2010. Each new camp is modeled around a Stafford program area and focuses on a particular career activity. The new camps are scheduled to run the weeks of July 12-16 and July 19-23 and will be open to students entering grades 9 and 10 in the fall of 2010. Students wishing to take part in the new theme camps will have many choices.
The first week offerings include a rustic boat building course, an introduction to entrepreneurship and a camp devoted to crime-scene-investigation. The following week students may choose from camps in music, photography, video production and architecture. Each camp incorporates either field trips or a community display of student work. The goal is to not only teach the students about a potential career path but also
show them what that job might actually look like in the future. The new full-week theme camps will run with between 10-12 students each and cost $75 for the week. Camps are open to students across Rutland County. Stafford Technical Center also offers an Arts and Technology Camp for grades 6 and 7 and a Construction Camp for grades 7 and 8. The Arts and Technology Camp is offering a special rate for 2010 of only $35 and Con-
struction Camp is offered at no charge. Arts and Technology Camp will run June 28-July 2 from 9am-2:30pm daily. Construction Camps also starts on June 28 and runs through July 9 (excluding July 5).

Town Meeting Survey: nix to cell phones Vermont State Sen. Bill Doyle released the results of his annual Town Meeting Day Survey, March 29. The popular survey, which gauges opinions about political and infrastructure issues of the moment, is now in its forty-first year. Doyle said that the strongest support in the history of his survey related to the survey question, “Should drivers be prohibited from texting while driving?” Ninety-six percent said yes, three percent said no, and one percent was not sure, according to Doyle. No question during the history of the survey ever recorded 96 percent approval. There was strong support for prohibiting cellular telephones while driv-
ing. Seventy-four percent said yes, 20 percent said no, and 6 percent were not sure. This was approximately the same results when the question was asked last year. The greatest change from last year ’s result was whether Vermont’s Yankee Nuclear Power Plant should be renewed in 2012. This year, 31 percent said yes, 52 percent said no, and 17 percent were not sure. Last year ’s Yankee result was 40 percent said yes, 37 percent said no, and 23 percent were not sure. The respondents to the survey gave strong support to statewide cellular telephone service and broadband and that locally grown food was an important part of Vermont’s economic future.
Fifty-three percent of the respondents said that President Obama was doing a good job, 32 percent said no, and 15 percent were undecided. Most Vermonters did not think U.S. federal stimulus funds have been wellspent. Vermonters were concerned about the cost of local schools and did not say Vermont is an affordable place in which to live. Vermonters thought Vermont’s prison population should be reduced through alternatives. Forty-one percent of Vermonters were satisfied with their health insurance costs.
Kudos to state’s outstanding math teachers Five instructors from Vermont were honored by the Vermont Council of Teachers of Mathematics as outstanding math teachers in the state. The awardees are: Karin Ames (South Hero) - Folsom Educational Center. Erin Danner (Rutland) - Woodstock Union High School. Monica Carter (Hinesburg) - Champlain Valley Union High School. Michael Caraco (North Bennington) Burr and Burton Academy. Jane Drown (Northfield) - Randolph Union High School. The awards were presented at the VCTM annual conference oApril 1 at the College of St. Joseph in Rutland. Erin Danner has been teaching for fifteen years, and is currently the math program coordinator at Woodstock Union High School. According to a stu-
dent who nominated her for this award, she keeps the classroom fun and purposeful at the same time. Erin creates a classroom culture that is so safe that students are comfortable presenting their incorrect solutions to their classmates, in order to find their mistakes. She expertly designs classes to utilize the 85-minute block periods, and students stay engaged as they participate in large-group discussions, individual exercises, and movementfilled activities. Her interactions with colleagues, some of whom share a classroom with her, are marked by insight, fairness, and fun. She is a passionate learner, both about mathematics and about her teaching craft; her focus on the importance of the process rather than just the end product makes her an inspiring model of lifelong learning for students
and creates a learning environment that gives them confidence and skills to succeed. Monica Carter has been teaching high school mathematics at Champlain Valley Union High School for fifteen years. Both her colleagues and her students see Monica as demanding but compassionate, students-centered but in control and extremely skilled but humble. Monica has a great sense of humor that makes math fun and helps students be at ease while taking on the challenges of math. She has taken the lead in moving her math department towards integrating Differentiated Instruction into the classroom. She is a teacher mentor and serves on the Program Council, which is a board that oversees almost every aspect of the schools operation.

Coal vs. nuclear To the editor: It is with confusion and sadness that I ponder our acceptance of deadly risk in energy production, and the recent fatal oil, coal and natural gas disasters. A natural gas plant in Connecticut blows up killing several people, and it’s out of the news in two days. Coal mine fumes explode, people die; one or two days’ news, and a supertanker spilling oil on the Great Barrier Reef is hardly news at all. Yet nobody responds to these very real disasters by demanding the closing of fossil fuel power plants, which are a dime a dozen. How strange then that some are so afraid of producing electricity from nuclear energy, an industry with a perfect, no-fatalities record In the U.S. It’s true: noone has ever died from radioactive exposure from an American nuclear power plant. In fact, U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics have noted that working at a nuclear plant is safer than working in finance or real estate... There are many things to be concerned about these days. But with a 50-year track record of safe and efficient electricity production for the U.S., nuclear energy has earned its stripes and should not be one of them. Diane Carlsen Burlington
Fresh Air kids To the editor: Each summer, thousands of volunteer host families in 13 northeastern states and Canada provide free summer vacations to needy New York City children. Through the Fresh Air Fund, inner city children experience the thrill of swimming in lakes and streams, running barefoot through grassy meadows and making new friends. My husband and I knew families that had hosted a Fresh Air child, but it wasn’t until our daughter was six that we considered it ourselves. Audrey is an only child and we thought it would be a good experience for her to share her family with another child. Four years ago we first hosted Kennedy, a fun loving seven-year-old with a flair for telling stories... We decided to host again the following summer and were happy to have Kennedy back to visit... Last summer she was doing handstands in the water and catching frogs with Audrey. She was disappointed that she didn’t get to sleep in a tent because the weather was not cooperative and we’re hoping this summer she can add that to her list of summer fun in Vermont... If you are interested in becoming a host family this summer or would like more information, please contact Debbie Olsen at 425-2957. Bill and Sheri Whipple Monkton
Mt. Abe’s low-achievement To the editor: I am writing with a deep feeling of disappointment in my stomach. The recent news identifying Vermont’s “ten persistently low-achieving schools” has me wondering: Where is the return on the high educational portion of my property tax investment? I live in The Mount Abraham Union District and I have yet to see or hear of any response from the local administration expressing their views on why Mt. Abe is on the list?.. In response, I ask of our local school administration; “If other county schools such as Middlebury and Vergennes are not identified as low achieving schools, how can anyone defend why Mt. Abe is on the list”?... If my annual school tax monies were going into long term personal stock investments I could ride out the high and low market fluctuations. However, when it comes to education we can’t afford any lows. Every year a new class is graduating and we pin our hopes on them being prepared to lead responsible and productive lives. There is not any acceptable excuse for having our school labeled as “persistently low achieving”. Martin Thompson Bristol

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 ecofriendly. 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 exposed 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 6foot 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.

to save money on foods that can be costly. Additionally, more and more people want to live a "green" lifestyle, and you can't get more local than picking vegetables right in your back yard. Plus, when you start an organic garden, it's even more environmentally friendly. When you start on your way to growing healthy garden fruits and vegetables, keep in mind that tending an organic garden has special requirements and poses some different challenges than conventional gardens do. However, the increased popularity of organic gardening has led to some great innovative products that can help you maintain your plot without adding harmful chemicals. Whether you live within city limits or in a more bucolic setting, it's always fun to see wildlife - just not when they're munching on your zucchini or stealing your strawberries. For most organic gardeners, the goal is to get rid of overly curious garden guests, but without forcing them to ingest poisons or other chemicals that can hurt them. One of the most trusted ways to keep a strictly organic garden free from unwelcome animal browsers is with the Swedish-developed, garden pest repellent Plantskydd (pronounced "plant-skid" - a Swedish word meaning "plant-protection"). Sweden's reputation as a rigorously green-minded country comes through in these non-toxic repellents, which were the first deer and rabbit repellents to be listed by the USDA-approved Organic Material Review Institute (OMRI), as "suitable for use in the production of food and fiber." Plantskydd's 100 percent organic ingredients make it safe to use around pets and children, but it's also effective in that it won't wash away in the rain, giving your garden longer-lasting protection. Claude Boisvert, president of Tree World Plant Care Products, Inc., says Plantskydd does double duty as a garden pest repellent and fertilizer. "Because it's a blood meal-derived product, it provides the nutrients necessary for plants to grow strong and produce abundantly, in addition to repelling garden pests like deer and rabbits," Boisvert says. "It's been lauded for its repelling effectiveness by forestry experts, the National Home Gardening Club, as well as soil and water conservation districts throughout the United States." Other ways to protect your garden include putting netting over the plants that birds, rabbits and other critters favor. Look for netting with small holes that you can spread over strawberry patches, or wire that you can circle around

delicate vegetables. When selecting solutions for feeding or protecting your garden, be sure to do your research and find out the true certification status of products you buy. As the move toward growing one's own organic food becomes mainstream, some repellent manufacturers, who use non-certified ingredients, use terms such as "all natural," or "environment friendly" on package labels in an attempt to associate their products with this "organic" trend. OMRI continues to be a good resource for learning about which products are truly safe and organic. If you're concerned about your family's health and that of the planet, planting an organic garden is the way to go. You'll not only be able to harvest delicious, nutritive foods right in your backyard, but you'll also be doing your part to foster a healthier environment.

Weeds: uninvited guests to your summer fun weed control but starting early in the season is an effective way to clear out unsightly lawn weeds. Scotts Turf Builder with Plus 2 Weed Control encourages your grass to grow stronger by improving your lawn's ability to absorb water and nutrients, but still stops the weeds you want to take care of, including dandelions. This should only be used when the weeds are actively growing and should not be used more than two times a year. Stronger grass crowds out weeds, and when mowed longer (at 3 to 5 inches) actually helps prevent weed growth. For small problem areas, there is no need to treat your entire lawn. Spot treatment will leave you with a lush lawn, while only tackling the unwelcomed weeds. The Ortho WeedB-Gon Max controls more than 200 weed types (including crabgrass). The foaming consistency of this product lets you know exactly where you've sprayed, and if the rain starts falling even one hour after you've applied, you don't need to worry. The foam will stick where you spray it and your weeds will show results in 24 hours. Ortho EcoSense Brand Lawn Weed Killer also makes a weed control product for the lawn which is derived from the natural element, iron, and takes care of weeds down to the roots within hours. If your goal is to have a comfortable, friendly outdoor space for yourself and your family to relax in this summer, targeting the uninvited plants growing in your lawn is a great way to start. So open up your backyard to plenty of romping, rolling and even splashing with your children and invite the entire neighborhood over for some fun. By killing the pesky weeds, you'll worry less about prickles or bee stings. Now all you'll have to worry about in the back yard is having enough chairs for all of your friends.

As summer approaches, visions of opening your backyard up to friends, family, and neighbors flood the dreams of most Americans. Playing catch with the kids, grilling with your neighbors, running with the dog, and relaxing in the shade with a good book are all great ways to make your lawn an enjoyable living space this summer. Soft, thick green grass in your back yard should be the friendly surface you and your family frolic on. Don't let those fun times be ruined by things like prickles in your toes or hard bare spots. Weeds and thin spots, the worst uninvited guests at the party, can stop the fun in its tracks but the feeling of bare feet in lush grass doesn't have to be a luxury. Put these villains in their place so that you can relax in your outdoor barefoot-able space. If you plan to turn your lawn into your living room this summer, here are some things you might want to consider: * Thistles, clover and dandelions - Prickly plants aren't friendly to activities like running through the sprinkler or rolling down the hill. There are quite a few varieties of thistle plants, and many can grow several feet tall. However, thistles that are located in your lawn get mowed down to size and can be much harder to spot. Don't be fooled, mowing will not kill these plants. For that, you will have to take action. If bothered by the distinctive yellow blooms of the dandelion and purple or white flowers of the clover these need to go. * Well fed lawns are strong and vibrant. In general, feeding a few times a year will build a lawn that is ready to stand up to the weeds, heat, and drought. If your grass is used for ballgames, Slip 'n Slide or parties, your barefoot guests will appreciate the grass carpet and it will withstand wear and tear. There are a lot of different ways to practice

Spring is in the air - get your home ready There is nothing more exciting than that first warm day of spring when everyone feels enlivened and refreshed. It's time to bring the renewed energy inside and give your home the boost it needs after a long and tired winter. Once you've set aside time to spruce up your home, make

sure you have resourceful products at your disposal like ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda. One box has countless uses for effective, safe, and economical cleaning and deodorizing all around your home. "Using natural ingredients found in your kitchen allows you to turn your home into a clean and fresh living area," says lifestyle expert Jill Cordes. "And be creative. Baking soda works on everything from deodorizing carpets and cleaning patio furniture, to polishing jewelry and putting the shine back into your bathroom floor. And even better yet, it is affordable, at about a dollar a box." Try the following tips from Cordes to have your entire home looking and smelling clean this year:
Start in the kitchen * Grab the baking soda and sprinkle some onto a clean damp sponge or cloth to wipe down stainless steel surfaces like the kitchen sink without scratching. Rinse thoroughly. * If you wrinkle your nose in disgust every time you open the door to your microwave, it's definitely time to deodorize. Baking soda on a damp sponge not only helps clean any dried-on food, but also keeps odors at bay. Leave a box of baking soda in the microwave when not in use for continued freshness.

Head to the bathroom
and hang the curtain to dry. * Bathroom floors don't have to look dingy or splotchy. If you have tile or no-wax floors, mix 1/2 cup baking soda in a bucket of warm water, mop and rinse clean. Baking soda on a sponge also helps to remove unsightly scuff marks.
Don't forget the outdoors * You shouldn't have to drive your car around with the windows open this spring to get rid of odors. Eliminate unpleasant smells by sprinkling baking soda directly on fabric seats and carpets. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then vacuum. Everyone will love taking rides in your car again. * Bring your patio furniture out of storage and get ready to relax in the sunshine. Take a cloth and wash off all the dirt and grime that gathered during the long winter months with a solution of 1/4 cup of baking soda in 1 quart of warm water. Rinse everything down and air dry.

How to care for your feathered garden friends year Your garden says a lot about who you are. By carefully choosing and arranging plants, tilling soil, and caring for your flowers and vegetables, you bring a part of nature into your life. In addition to the visual appeal of the plants, gardens attract wildlife. Rabbits and squirrels, butterflies and birds all enjoy your garden, adding to the beauty. Birds in particular bring great joy to a garden. The lovely melodies in the air and brightly colored plumage of birds bring your backyard habitats to life as warmer weather approaches; a reminder spring is returning once again. With this natural cycle of life come changing needs for the fine feathered friends you welcome into your gardens and hearts each year. Taking note of these necessities will not only increase the number of birds who visit, but will make these guests happier and healthier. If you want to continue to attract birds to
your garden, make sure you're offering fresh, high-quality foods on a regular basis. Once you establish your yard as a successful source of food, your feathery friends will continue to return. The experts at Scotts have a wide array of information about feeding wild birds available on their Web site, www.scottswildbirdfood.com. Here are some of the basics: * Suet - Because of its high fat content, suet is a great source of high-energy nutrients for birds. It can be found in a wide array of flavors, ranging from plain suet to blocks enhanced with things like peanuts, seeds and dried fruit. It's a favorite of many wild birds, including woodpeckers. Suet and suet cages are readily available in most home improvement stores and can be easily hung from any tree branch. * Thistle - This seed is perfect for attracting colorful, delicate finches to your yard. Because
thistle seeds are so tiny, you will need a special feeder or 'sock' designed specifically for this type of seed. Hang a thistle sock outside a window, or in full view of your garden sitting area to get a good look when birds inevitably swoop in to pull out the slender seeds that are among their favorite foods. If you have had a problem with squirrels stealing your bird seed in the past, you'll be glad to know squirrels aren't particularly attracted to thistle and will most likely not bother a thistle sock. * Wild bird food mix - Ahealthy mixed food, like Scotts Multi-Bird Blend with Fruit and Nuts, can be a bird-watcher's best friend. With greatly varied ingredients appealing to a multitude of birds, you never know just who will visit your feeder. Keep the binoculars and cameras handy to get a glimpse of unusual species. Scotts now also offers a variety of other bird food blends that will attract specific species or
types of birds (songbirds, colorful birds, finches, or cardinals for example) for enhanced bird watching. Keep in mind that if you don't have a feeder, you can easily make one or purchase an inexpensive pressed seed cake (often in the shape of a bell) that you simply hang outside. Children may enjoy making their own pine cone feeders using just a pine cone coated in peanut butter and bird seed. This quick, easy bird feeder provides birds with the nutrition they need in colder temperatures. Feeding the feathery visitors in your backyards doesn't just benefit the birds; it can also provide you with hours of entertainment and the feeling of knowing you are helping to keep such a beautiful part of nature alive and well.

Volcano From page 1 during the terrible year of 1816. A frustrated Addison County farmer summed up the miserable weather events of 1816 in a letter-to-the-editor published during July in a Burlington newspaper: “(This is) the most gloomy and extraordinary weather ever seen.” The infamous Year Without a Summer spanned the period 1815-16. It was triggered by the Mt. Tambora supervolcanic explosion centered in the far-away Sunda Islands of Indonesia. At the time Mt. Tambora blew its 14,000 ft. stack—between April 5-15, 1815—more than 36 cubic miles of volcanic ash and gases were shot high into the gyres of Earth’s stratosphere. Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull, many geologists are saying, has the potential to repeat Mt. Tambora—in 2010. Within a few weeks and months of April 15, 1815, a mountain-sized cloud of sulphuric ash encircled the northern hemisphere like a death shroud. The ash reduced the amount of sunlight reaching the surface. Air and ground temperatures dropped. The result was an extreme big chill in places such as Vermont. By the summer of 1816, as the ash cloud circulated high above the northern hemisphere, climate changes were destroying vital crops in Europe, the U.S. Northeast, and the eastern Canadian provinces. Among the hardest hit of Northeastern states was Vermont. The state was already struggling after the War of 1812 also known as America’s Second War of Independence against the British. When this climate crisis hit the state’s slowly recovering post-war economy in 1816, it spelled disaster for many Vermonters. Farmers, especially war veterans returning to Vermont fields after the War of 1812, bore the brunt of the natural disaster in the state. According to most Vermont weather records—based largely on newspaper accounts—January and February 1816 were warm and spring like. Such warm winter weather didn’t indicate the terrible summer to come in the Year Without a Summer.
RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 13
“March (1816) was cold and stormy. Vegetation had gotten well along in April, when real winter set in,” wrote a newspaper reporter. “Sleet and snow fell on 17 different days in May. In June there was either frost or snow every night but three. The snow was five inches deep for several days in succession in the interior of (the Adirondack Mountains in) New York, and from ten inches to three feet in Vermont and Maine. “July was cold and frosty, ice formed as thick as windowpanes in every one of the New England states. August was still worse. Ice formed nearly an inch in thickness and killed nearly everything green in the United States and in Europe.” According to the same reporter, by the spring of 1817, corn prices skyrocketed; the crop price jumped from $5 in 1816 to $10 a bushel in 1817. Observers often wonder why 1815, rather than just 1816, wasn’t as bad a year weather wise. After all, Tambora erupted in April of 1815. But the effects of the volcanic winter were delayed as will occur in 2010-11, following the prolonged Icelandic Eyjafjallajökull eruption. “Well, the answer is that there is a time lag between a volcanic eruption and a change in weather patterns caused by the length of time needed for stratospheric winds to distribute the volcanic dust particles around the world,” according to Dan Suri, a metrologist. Suri’s popular weather-related web site, dantheweatherman.com, receives frequent inquires about the effects of the Year Without a Summer. “The most severe cold snap came in early June and killed the vegetable crop in parts of New England, ruining some farmers. This, and a couple of other cold snaps, each just a few days long, has made the summer of 1816 notorious and infamous, hardly surprising given the far reaching consequences of the unseasonable weather. The worst of the weather and of the effects of the poor weather was in northern New England.” In May 1816, hard frosts killed off most of the crops planted in Vermont. In June two large snowstorms pummeled the state; several deaths resulted. A foot of snow fell in Quebec City in June. The result of the Year Without a Summer was an out-migration from Vermont and elsewhere in northern New England. Farmers, wiped out in the summer of 1816, headed

west into central New York and beyond in the spring of 1817. Wagon trains left Vermont—traversing the Mohawk Valley—bearing farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, and other workers and their families. This early “westward-ho” exodus helped accelerate the building of the Erie Canal to ease passage to western New York and beyond. As part of the move west, a number of Vermont families settled in New York’s Black River Valley sheltered between the Adirondacks and Lake Ontario. Land was cheap and the soil was fertile. Several towns, such as Rutland, N.Y., bear the namesakes of hometowns left far behind. How the unfolding eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano this month will impact Earth’s planet is unknown at this time, Suri said, but there’s every indication that the 2010 eruption is far from over. And the geological record shows Eyjafjallajökull’s periodic explosive eruptions have left there marks around the world.
