newmarketpress@denpubs.com Brandon firefighter Dewitt Clinton “Brad” Bradbury, Jr., age 74, died April 2 at his home in Brandon. Bradbury was born in Newark, N.J., on June 23, 1935. He was the son of Dewitt and Anna (Eckert) Bradbury, Sr., he grew up in Union, N.J., where he received his education in loDewitt Clinton cal schools. He was a veteran of “Brad” Bradbury, Jr. the U.S. Army having served in Europe. Following his honorable discharge he returned home and began a career in the sheet metal fabrication and installation business, for ventilation systems. He retired to Brandon in 1996 moving from Clark, N.J. As a member of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles, he dedicated his time to the Boy Scouts and Sea Explorers. Brad was a fireman first, always willing to lend a hand, serving 23 years with the fire department and later volunteering with the Brandon Fire Department for over 14 years. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed traveling and camping and later in life became the president of the Otter Valley Good Sam’s Club. He also belonged to the Neshobe Sportsman Club. He was a member of the Sheet Metal Workers Union Local 22 for over 40 years. His involvement within the communities of where he lived has earned him many friends. He will be missed by all who knew him. Surviving is his wife of 17 years; Marie Olsen Bradbury of Brandon, two sons Ronald Bradbury and his wife Marilyn and Clint Bradbury all who reside in New Jersey, six grandchildren, five stepsons and four step grandchildren. He was predeceased by his first wife Joan Erla and his brother Richard Bradbury. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated April 8, at St. Michael’s Church Burial with Military Honors will follow in Hollywood Memorial Cemetery. Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers may be made, in his memory to the Brandon Volunteer Fire Department, c/o Chief Robert Kilpeck, 29 Walnut St, Brandon 05733.

Rutland Regional Medical Center executives and nursing staff celebrated big news at a staff gathering last week. RRMC earned a special accolade as the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s “Magnet” hospital. Only 6 percent of hospitals in the U.S. have received “Magnet” status, the highest achievement obtained in professional nursing. RRMC also received Gov. Jim Douglas’ Award for Performance Excellence, the first hospital in Vermont to receive the award. Photo by Lou Varricchio

College fires up new biomass generator station POULTNEY—Green Mountain College formally opened a new $5.8 million combined heat and power biomass plant April 22. In his remarks to 300 students, faculty, staff, and community members, president Paul Fonteyn claimed that by next year GMC would become the first college in the country to reach carbon neutrality after reducing carbon emissions by more than 50 percent. Special guests at a ribbon-cutting ceremony included Vermont Gov. James Douglas. The new plant will use locally-sourced woodchips to provide 85 percent of the school's heat and generate 20 percent of its electricity. Fuel oil will be used mainly as a backup to heat campus buildings. GMC officials claim it will burn about 4,000-5,000 tons of locally harvested woodchips each year as the primary fuel-the $5.8 million plant will allegedly pay for itself over 18 years through

savings on fuel costs. In the new plant, woodchips are fed into a boiler and heated at a very high temperature with low oxygen, until the fuel smolders and emits gas. Oxygen is added and the gas ignites-the resulting steam is circulated through existing pipes for heat and hot water. The steam also activates a turbine which will produce 400,000 kWh of electricity. Another guest of the college for Earth Day activities was Apollo 12 astronaut and artist Alan Bean, who delivered the College's third annual Thomas L. Benson Lecture. During NASA's Apollo 12 mission in November 1969, Bean became the fourth man to set foot on the Moon. Bean offered students his special perspective on the uniqueness of Earth as seen from the Moon’s bleak, airless surface.

Guest Viewpoint

Life choices for young and old L

ife choices present a variety of options and decisions. What to do or not what to do? What makes wise choices? Some refer to choices as mistakes and the difference between right and wrong. In any event whether we make a right or left turn, our destiny is chosen. If things go awry, we often wonder, what if? We wonder if our destiny could have been different; and if so, could we change things to the way it could have been? Some of us either learn or repeat the choices again. We need to learn from our own choices even though others have forewarned us. No matter what, we must take responsibility for our choices in all circumstances. There is no going back, so forget the “pity party” and make the best of the choices. Otherwise, living in the past rather than the now seems to be trend. It is possible to retrain our brains to think differently. We need to forget the negativity of certain choices and turn them into positive thoughts that could lead to better acceptance and healthier existences and relationships. Choices—what is right and what is wrong? It all depends on the outcome. Choosing to do wrong, i.e., as breaking the rules or justifying an act against a contract, we may seem justified and feel that we cannot be caught. Justification seems to be the root of the issue—feeling justified in doing wrongful acts eventually wreaks havoc with things catching up and leading to misfortune and troubles beyond belief. Peer pressure seems to emphasize choices, especially during the adolescent years, which presents obstacles. If we do not do what the peer group wants to do, we may be bullied, ridiculed, and possibly threatened to have no friends any longer. What would it be like without friends? How do we cope

without prior friends? Some of us get quite depressed to the point of suicide, and yet others move on and do without friends. It is possible to move on and engage without the peers that could possibly lead us down the wrong path. Dominating or catty friends cause pain and frustration leading to isolation for some. That isolation could make or break us. It could be quite rewarding for us in deciding choices that could lead to escaping from the power exuded from dominating so-called friends. Breaking loose helps us to learn the true concept of independence and being true to ourselves. Let me leave you thinking about choices through these quotes: “There’s small choice in rotten apples,” Shakespeare, “The Taming of a Shrew”. “Choice of attention…is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer. In both cases, we are responsible for choice and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be” (W.H. Auden, p. 310). “Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved” (William Jennings Bryan, p. 318). Edward A. Murphy, Jr., in 1949, known as Murphy’s Law had it right, “If anything can go wrong, it will.” “Everyone that believes that what suits him is the right thing to do” (Goethe,“Torguato Tasso, 1790).

Possible arson in Rutland Town On April 7, the following fire departments were dispatched to a structure fire at 1236 U.S. Route 4 in Rutland Town, Vermont: Rutland Town, Rutland City, West Rutland, Proctor, Chittenden, Wallingford and Clarendon. The fire occurred to a commercial building housing two separate businesses,

Vermont Vapor, Inc., and Staining by Jonathan. The building was further used as a storage facility for Out Doors in Motion, a motorcycle, snowmobile and All-Terrain Vehicle dealership. The Vermont State Police Fire Investigation Unit was requested for an origin and cause investigation. The Vermont State Police, as well

as the Vermont Division of Fire Safety responded to the scene for the aforementioned examination. Due to the hazardous materials believed to be in the structure, an internal examination was not done. Anyone with information relating to the fire is asked to contact Det. Sgt. Sutton or Det. Lt. Cruise at 802-773-

Vermont brews win top awards By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com The Green Mountain State is rapidly earning the reputation as one of the Western Hemisphere's top micro beer- and ale-making locales. Known for its fine waters, attention to beermaking details, contents, and old-fashioned honest marketing, such accolades about Vermont brews aren't mere chamber of commerce hype. The proof is in the trophy cabinets. Last week, Vermont brews topped the list of bests at the World Beer Cup 2010 event held in Colorado. The Brewers Association of Denver hosts an annual global beer competition; experts from all over the globe evaluated beer from more than 25 nations. They recognized the most outstanding beers being produced, so the competition is stiff and exhibitor emotions run high. World Beer Cup judges have a tough job; they have to drink a lot of fine beer and ale and decide on the best. During the event, judges singled out three unexpected Vermont breweries for their excellent products—the cup provided a nice, colorful feather for Vermont’s beermesiter Tyrolean hat. The Alchemist Pub and Brewery of Waterbury received the World Beer Cup Gold Medal in the eclectic gluten-free beer category for its Celia Saison product. Celia Saison–a Belgianinspired gluten-free Saison made with sorghum, orange peel, coriander, and Amarillo hops. Harpoon Brewery of Windsor was awarded the cup's silver medal in the American-style wheat beer with yeast category for its flagship of quirky UFO brands—UFO Hefeweizen.

Hefeweizen is a cloudy golden color with "a dense, frothy head, and the aroma has a faint but clear citrus-like character." The UFO awardwinner was described by judges as having “a soft mouth feel and a refreshing, light body. The wheat malts and subtle hopping give this beer what is described as a mild, delicate flavor.” Lawson's Finest Liquids of Warren won a bronze medal in the specialty beer category for its unusual Maple Tripple. Think of a rich beer and maple syrup and you have Maple Tripple. Judges attempted to describ Tripple as "an enticing, rich and complex... the creation defies easy description." Lawson's once-a-year beer is brewed only during sugaring season with 100 percent maple sap from Fayston-area farms. “No outside water is added—only barley, hops, and ale yeast,” Lawson’s said. The World Beer Cup 2010 winners were selected by an international panel of 179 beer judges from 27 countries. An impressive field of 3,401 entries from 642 breweries in 44 countries made up the competition. More than 3,800 breweries in 100 countries were invited to compete. 65885

A “hole” in space R

esearchers aren’t 100 percent certain what formed the socalled Local Bubble, but it’s looking more like a nearby supernova—of the violent Type-II variety—excavated the hole. The Local Bubble is a vast “hole” that was opened in the interstellar medium that surrounds our Sun; it extends for over 1,000 light-years in at least one direction. The resulting blast punched through the interstellar dust and gas that originally surrounded our local region of space. Think of a fireball of a thermonuclear nuclear device but on a vast interstellar scale. As the shockwave front of a Type-II fireball spreads out into deep space, it blows away everything in its path. Ironically, astronomers have benefited from the Local Bubble. Because our local region of space has been swept clear of much of its dust and gas, deep-sky telescopic observing has offered a “clearer” view in the direction of the bubble’s point of origin; we’d never have known this fact if we didn’t, first, have the understanding of looking out from inside this Local Bubble. Also, if we didn’t have astronomical instruments capable of observing space in the extreme ultraviolet (UV) region of the electromagnetic spectrum, we probably wouldn’t have been able to discover the Local Bubble in the first place. Back in 1975, astronomers first noticed that, in wavelengths ranging from 10 to 100 nm, short-wavelength photons were ionizing neutral hydrogen atoms. This evidence suggested that some kind of a monster “hole” or bubble existed in the space around our solar system. The Local Bubble extends 1,000 light-years (300 parsecs) in the direction of the star Beta Canis Majoris in the constellation Canis Major. In 1992, NASA’s Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer spacecraft was the first to map the Local Bubble. At the same time, the European ROSAT spacecraft detected a pulsating beam of X-rays that strongly suggested a possible point of origin for the bubble in space. Energetic x-rays are almost always the fingerprints left behind at a dramatic cosmic “crime” scene—an enormous uncontrolled thermonuclear explosion, sending out high energy subatomic particles from “ground zero”, must have blown through our region of space like a tsunami. This cosmic tsunami, the shockwave of the immense stellar explosion, opened up our Local Bubble. It has not been clearly identified if there were extinctions on Earth associat-

Pareto principle pending?

ecause former Harvard University President Lawrence Summers was summarily defenestrated from his prestigious ivy-draped office (for presuming to observe that some sectors of the population— in Cambridge, Mass., a clear political, if possibly not demographic, majority—do better in graphics than numbers), I’ll avoid the right-brain and leftbrain question, and the underlying statistics in this column and go directly to the basic principle of consumer behavior and the charts which illustrate it. The principle has been called the tipping point and it refers to the repeated empiric observation that, if and when 20 percent of the population make a consumer choices of goods or services, the remaining 80 percent mostly soon follow. It has worked in the past for such new goods as automobiles, refrigerators, and T.V. receivers, and most famously for services, showing up in such patterns as urban middle-class flight from court-ordered underclass school enrollment mixing, commonly labeled “white flight”, although, as both Kansas City and Detroit statistics illustrated, middle-class black flight was numerically proportionate to middle-class white flight from newly-disrupted classrooms. The chart here is the s-curve, which wasn’t invented by economist Harry Dent but was publicized by him in his 1999 book, “The Roaring 2000s”. It has three phases: a slow “Innovation” stage where brave new consumers try it, a rapidly accelerating Growth phase, where most potential customers buy in; and a final declininggrowth maturity phase, in which all of the late and slow who will ever try it finally join in. When you examine the curve you’ll see that, if and when it gets to the 20 percent level of market penetration, almost all of the remaining 80 percent will usually soon follow, which explains why it’s also known as the Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rule. I use the qualifier “usually” because there have been exceptions. In education, for example, one took place in the years be-

fore and while I was a public school student, typically in 30student classes with better-thannow test scores, and no college entrants in need of remedial instruction, when the non-public parochial school alternative was increasing its market share; it topped out at about 15 percent or so of total potential enrollment, the age 5-17 cohort. The other took place in the years after I was a public school student, when, I can recall reading, the American public education system was widely described as “the envy of the Western world”; when public education was perceived as so good that there was no need to pay even the typically modest tuition fee for the alternative, and so the market penetration of the non-public alternative shrank. In both cases, the s-curve didn’t play out to full completion. Back then, public education was so proud of its market-share ascendancy that state education departments would proudly report, when asked, what the percentage of non-public alternative was: three or four percent, they’d say. More recently, when you ask that question, you get a “we don’t know” response. I suspect they know but, as with recent queries on school size in square feet and official capacity, choose to plead ignorance rather than reveal stats which might be, in their view, misused by such as your present scribe. Recently, I’ve gone to an alternate source for the missing stat: the size of the age 5-17 cohort, which, compared with sameyear public enrollment (note: it requires math proficiency to do the long division without a calculator) and here’s what the

Census Bureau has for Vermont. The last official age 5-17 head count was executed in 2000, and will be again this year, but the web site shows estimates and projections for 2005 (112K) and 2015 (107K) from which one can derive an average (math proficiency again required) of 109.5K for the current year the Vermont SED website reports the present enrollment at 91,239. In a Grade 3 exercise (see the Kwiznet web page) you can see that, to obtain the public-enrollment percentage, the divisor is 109.5K, the dividend is 91K, and the quotient is 83K. Next, Grade 1 subtraction is required. Since the minuend is 100 and the subtrahend is 83, the remainder is 17. In modern basic English, twosyllable words max, the percent of age 5-17 students in non-public schooling is 17 (oops, a threesyllable number, there, twice). Finally, compare 17 to the 20 which is the 80/20 tipping point number. It’s close. Is non-public enrollment about to embark on the steep part of the Harry Dent s-curve? Is the Pareto Principle pending? As Vulpes Novus said, “Nos Renuntimus. Vos decernite.” Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.

WEDNESDAY April 28, 2010 ed with the event that created the Local Bubble; much research remains to be done with the fossil record. The X-ray source detected by ROSAT in 1992 is located 300 light-years (100 parsecs) or more away in the constellation Gemini. It was quickly dubbed “Geminga” by Italian astronomer Giovanni Bignami who was involved in analyzing the ROSAT x-ray data. Geminga, as Bignami tells it, is By Lou Varricchio an Italian word that means “I’m not there!”—an appropriate name since at the time of detection, no object could be resolved at the focal point of the pulsed x-ray beams. Later, Bignami and his team of astronomers were credited with discovering a pulsar object at the location of the Gemini X-rays. In 1997, it was suggested by astronomer John Mattox that a planetary system, obviously formed after the supernova event, exists around Geminga. Apulsar, short for pulsating star, is a rapidly rotating, very dense, neutron star that forms after a supernova explosion. The cores of these pulsars are composed of super dense matter, made purely of neutrons, popularly called neutronium. (A teaspoon size of neutronium would pass of its own weight completely through the Earth!) Bignami estimates that Geminga may have exploded 300,000 or more years ago. This estimate is based on the pulsar’s lengthening pulse period. Geminga appears to have been left over from the Type-II supernova—the original stellar heavyweight that delivered the massive one, two punch that created our Local Bubble. What’s in the Sky: On Friday, April 30, look for the Moon rising in the S.E. at midnight. The giant star Antares, in Scorpius, is to the right of Luna.

The Logger: UVM speaker material?

ast year, UVM chose Ben Stein as its graduation speaker. A smart financial guy, comedian, actor, writer, speaker, and political talking head. UVM President Fogel has a connection to Mr. Stein that allowed the booking to occur. Mr. Stein’s thoughts about evolution, that he had expressed at an earlier campus appearance, irked a number of students; thus, they protested his booking. UVM scrapped Mr. Stein’s presentation. Ben wasn’t happy. Ah, spilled milk. Instead, UVM booked ex-Gov. Howard Dean to speak. Mr. Stein’s fee was to have been up around near seven or eight grand—a healthy discount, Mr. Stein said, from his usual speaking fee. As of April 19, news items contained information that UVM hadn’t chosen their 2010 commencement speaker. I e-mailed the UVM ceremonies office listing my speech topics, and my credentials; vast graduation speaker experience, varied and deeply rooted involvement with Vermont communities, spotless business and personal standing in the state. And when senior classes choose me as their commencement speaker, I take time to visit the students months before the event. Can’t imagine showing up on the day never having met them. Schools offer a fee for graduation speeches. I always decline. I wrote UVM I’d accept a fee if they chose me. I think they’d be wise to consider me. Small chance UVM officials will consider me as a speaker. I understand. At UVM, the powers-that-be are too busy to know who is out there offering something more relevant and entertaining than the likes of a Howard Dean or Ben Stein (two folks who’ve raised their reputations to a rarefied level). Students and their families need me as their speaker. I know how a person should perform, first and foremost, when delivering a graduation speech. Brief—that’s it; one should be brief. Graduation speakers provide a service that is totally expendable; few speakers act as if they realize that. Too bad for grandmothers who travel hundreds of miles to sit for hours in the blazing heat listening as the speaker trumpets, “Back when I signed my first book contract I had no idea...blah, blah, blah.” There are those who love hearing themselves speak, an attribute that fuels their ability to find ways to be heard. If they succeed in being heard, and what they’re saying is the least bit interesting, they gain notoriety—notoriety that lands them on the list from which speakers are chosen. It’s a vicious cycle. A cycle we must stop. A better commencement speaker for UVM to consider might be someone meek; you’ve got to believe those who’ll inherit the Earth are worth more of a listen than those who believe the Earth is lucky to have them. I place myself in the former group—the unmeek kind. Next commencement speech I give, I wish I have nerve enough to buck up and be humble. Maybe I should give the speech I wrote while on a country walk today? Here goes— “I can spout specifics on things you don’t need to know, but of things you should know; I know no more than you already know. I do not want to waste a minute of your precious future. Thank you.” I like giving graduation speeches and I’ll keep doing them, for free (so long as I keep getting asked). I won’t say I’m good or bad at it; I’ll just say, I try to be humble, aware of others, and brief. Do you know I received a polite call from a nice lady in UVM’s president’s office thanking me for thinking of them and offering my services? She said by the time they’d received my note, a speaker had already been chosen. She passed my material on to the committee to consider during next years search. The lady who spoke with me has children in a school where I have given graduation speeches. She’s the main reason I might have a chance to be UVM’s graduation speaker—some day. It’s not what you know it’s who you know. You can’t get a hit if you don’t swing. What is there to lose? You never know. All those sayings have merit. Believe me.

California Japan drummers to perform at CSC By Frederick Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com Castleton State College hosts San Jose Taiko on Thursday April 29, at 7 p.m. in the Casella Theater. San Jose Taiko was founded in 1973 and inspires audiences with the power and beauty of Japanese Taiko drumming. Taiko is often showcased at matsuri, or festivals, held during special seasons in Asian American communities. In fact, the growth of the art form owes much to the visibility that taiko groups have enjoyed at these celebrations. San Jose Taiko gladly participates in these local events, as well as at multicultural and music/dance festivals, state fairs, and city celebrations throughout the country. California-based San Jose Taiko showcases their rich repertoire in a 90-minute concert set with creative staging and lighting design. Concert venues vary in size from small stages to large theaters at schools, colleges, universities, and performing arts centers. A major annual event for San Jose Taiko is our home season concert, an extended series that provides an opportunity to premiere new compositions, try new programming concepts, debut new performing members, and share special time with our dedicated and supportive local audience. Tickets for this event are $10 for adults, $7 for students and seniors, and $5 for children under 12. For more information please contact the Fine Arts Center Box Office at 802468-1119.

RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 5

Stafford students are finalists in national contest Stafford Technical Center ’s SADD Chapter was recently named as one of 20 school-based peer leadership groups in a contest about distracted driving. The contest, which is administered by the National Organization for Youth Safety, has a $10,000 grand prize, which is to be used to further highway safety at the winning school. The SADD Chapter won $200 for being one of the first 200 teams to enter the contest, and $1,000 and a video camera for becoming one of the finalists. Members will be using the $1,000 to help in the production of their project in hopes of becoming the contest winner. The contest is on the web at ActOutLoud.org and each team has a Facebook page, where they post videos and write about their progress. The Stafford Team’s Facebook page is Stafford Technical Center SADD Chapter where people can sign up as fans.

The Stafford Technical Center SADD Chapter team is made up of team captain Haley Cotrupi of Wallingford, Kyle Lenher of Proctor, Emily Johnson of West Rutland, Cierra Phelps of Clarendon, and Geoffry McDonald of Brandon. The SADD Chapter ’s plan for this project involves a number of projects- the first is a video about the crash, filming the destroyed car, interviewing Trooper

Casey Daniell, the responding officer, having the crash survivors walk the route of the crash, and so on. The group will have a number of contests on-line.

Members will also be receiving proclamations and resolutions from the Rutland City Mayor ’s Office, school commissioners and the Vermont State Legislature.

Film fest to showcase drama, documentaries KILLINGTON—Independent filmmakers from seven states and Canada took home top honors at the second Killington Film Festival, which drew large and enthusiastic crowds during screenings that started last and ran throughout the recent weekend. “My Stepdad’s a Freakin’ Vampire,” directed and produced by David Matheny of Gardner, Ks., was judged No 1 in the Feature Film category and “Shooting Beauty,” directed by former Woodstock resident George Kachadorian was awarded top prize in the New England Filmmakers competition. In all, filmmakers from 21 states and five countries submitted more than 100 films for judging in the four-day festival. “It was a tremendous success. It is a festival destined to continue its growth

in years to come,” said Kerstin Karlhuber, a New York filmmaker originally from Killington who founded and directed the festival. “The filmmakers were pleased and the audiences truly enjoyed seeing some outstanding films. We’re already looking forward to next year, when we’re certain to draw even more entries.” One of the most popular features of the festival was the question and answer sessions audiences had with filmmakers, directors and producers following the screenings. The categories and top entries included: Documentary Shorts 1st “Iowa Girls,” directed and produced by Donna Reyes, Union, N.J. 2nd “Nico’s Challenge,” directed by

Steve Audette, Concord, Mass. Narrative Shorts 1st “Bodega,” directed by Brian Willow, produced by Nathan Brown, New York, N.Y. 2nd “Dash Cunning,” directed by William Saunders, produced by Maya Anand & Justin Begnaud, Lessburg, Va. Feature-Length Films 1st “My Stepdad’s a Freakin Vampire,” directed and produced by David Matheny, Gardner, Ks. 2nd “Words Aloud,” directed by Elizabeth Zetlin, produced by Judith Keenan, Markdale, Ontraio. New England Filmmakers 1st “Shooting Beauty,” directed by George Kachadorian, Durham, N.H. 2nd “Finding Our Voices,” directed by Vicky Hughes, directed by Holly Stadtler, Huntington.

State’s high cost highlighted in new report Vermonters who rent live in the fifteenth least affordable state in the nation, according to a new report jointly released by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, a Washington, D.C.based housing advocacy group, and the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition. For Vermont’s renters, the news isn’t good. Rural Vermont ranks in the top 10 most expensive rural areas in the nation. The report, Out of Reach 2010, provides the Housing Wage and other hous-

ing affordability data for every state, metropolitan area and county in the country, comparing 52 jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. A Vermont fact sheet is attached. The typical renter in Vermont earns $11.28, which is $6.42 less than the hourly wage needed to afford a modest unit. A worker making the minimum wage ($8.06/hour in Vermont) can only afford to pay $419 a month for rent and

utilities, less than half the cost of a modest two-bedroom apartment. Working at the minimum wage, a family must have 2.2 wage earners working full-time – or one full-time earner working 88 hours/week – to afford a modest twobedroom apartment. An estimated 55 percent of renters in Vermont do not earn enough income to afford a two-bedroom apartment at the fair market rent, a two percentage point increase from last year.

Man impersonates police officer in Fair Haven On April 19, at approximately 10:50 p.m., along Route 22A in the area of the Fairwood Lanes Bowling Alley in Fair Haven, a lone female victim was stopped by a vehicle using a rotating blue light, which was located on its dashboard. The vehicle had followed her from New York. After pulling over to the side of the road, the victim was approached by a male suspect who identified himself as a police officer. He is described as being approximately 6 feet tall, 165 to 170 pounds, thin build, wearing dark pants, a tan colored shirt and longer dark jacket.

The suspect's vehicle was reported to be a midsize vehicle, dark in color, with a single antenna. The registration plate is not known. A police scanner was heard in the vehicle. The suspect asked the victim if she had any drugs or weapons and asked for permission to search the vehicle. The female agreed to the search as she had nothing to hide. She then exited and was ordered to stand at the rear of her vehicle. The suspect began the search and then asked for her license. As she approached to get her license, the suspect ordered her back to the rear of her vehicle. The

suspect concluded the search and departed the scene. The victim later found that an amount of money was missing from her wallet. At this time the amount of money is not being released, due to the on going nature of this investigation. During the search a second vehicle approached, stopped and turned off its lights and engine. The suspect then approached the second vehicle and spoke with the operator. The vehicle then departed shortly after. There is no known description of this vehicle or operator. Anyone having any information is request to contact the Fair Haven Police Department or Vermont State Police.

Matthew Greene

Ryan Zielinski

Castleton State College’s Matthew Greene (Albany, N.Y./Colonie) has been named the NCAA Division IIIMatthew Greene National Pitcher of the Week honors for the seventh week of 2010, covering games of April 12-18, as voted on by a panel of D-III members of the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA). Greene was dominant in his only start of the week, earning a complete game shutout at Thomas, a 1-0 Spartan win in nine innings. The junior right-hander allowed just two hits and walked four, while striking out 16 Terriers. Greene struck out at least one batter in every inning except a one-two-three third inning. He struck out the side in the fifth, and had two strike-outs in every other inning. It is the first time a Castleton pitcher has earned this national award. David Brandt (Contoocook, N.H./Hopkinton) has been named the

NortheasternDavid Brandt Athletic Conference (NEAC) Eastern Division Baseball Player of the Week. Brandt helped Castleton to a 5-1 week, including a four-game sweep at Thomas and an 18-4 win over Plattsburgh State, ranked 18th nationally. The sophomore third baseman batted .636 (14-for-22) with a team-best eight runs batted in and seven runs scored while also leading the Spartans in slugging (.864) and on base percentage (.636). Brandt's speeed proved lethal, as he smacked two triples and a double, and stole seven bases. In the recent 1-0 win over Thomas, Brandt drove in the winning-run in the top of the ninth inning. He followed that up, by driving in the game-tying, and scoring what proved to be the winning run in Sunday's 3-2 triumph. In the field, Brandt fielded his position flawlessly in 16 chances. Castleton swept all three weekly

honors for the third-straight week, and fourth time this season. Ryan Zielinski (Schenectady, N.Y.) has been named the Ryan ZielinskiNortheastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) Eastern Division Baseball Rookie of the Week. Zielinski batted .458 (11-for-24) with two doubles and two triples as Castleton went 5-1, including four conference wins over Thomas and an 18-4 win over No. 18 Plattsburgh State. Zielinski drove in five runs and scored seven, and posted an on base percentage of .536 in the lead-off spot. The second baseman also slugged .708 and was perfect in the field in 20 chances. It is the third-straight week Zielinski has been honored by the conference, and third time this season. He leads the Spartans in hits (54), batting average (.415), runs (39), RBI (41), homeruns (5) and slugging percentage (.623).

Lake Champlain Bridge update To the editor: As the vice-chair of the Lake Champlain Bridge Public Advisory Committee, I want to invite you to join us at the Addison Central School on Tuesday, May 11, at 6:30 p.m., for the committee’s next public information meeting, at which we will continue to unveil details of the new Lake Champlain Bridge and its construction. If you wish to contact me I can be reached at the Vermont State House during the week at 802-828-2228 or via email at dlanpher@leg.state.vt.us. State Rep. Diane Lanpher Addison-3 Vermont House Transportation

State workers surfing porn To the editor: For months I have been saying: Where are the State of Vermont layoffs? Where is the downsizing of our state government? This would certainly help our out-of-control Democrat budget shortfall. In the media we constantly hear from our Legislators about how all the current state employees are very busy and needed. Really? They are so busy that they have time to download pornographic material onto our computers—on our dime? It is not my intention to label all Vermont state workers in this 'bag'. I know there are state workers who are hard working and dedicated. Those that downloaded the porn have given the rest a black eye. Here is the $64 question: Why are we forking out $ 120,000 to prevent the porn downloading? Why don't we just fire those involved? I know that if I ever downloaded porn onto an IBM computer I would have been dismissed immediately. So why not the state workers? Someone in Montpelier needs to get a back bone. Burt DeGraw Bristol

ARC seeks volunteers To the editor: If you value Rutland Advocacy, Resources, and Community (ARC) and want to help keep it alive, we could use your help. The board of directors is activating it’s Ways and Means Committee and the Publicity and Public Relations Committee. The Ways and Means Committee will be looking at organizing the petitions, the fundraising and the grants that will be needed to make up for the funds that were lost from Rutland City voters, $35,900. It will plan for the financial means that will furnish the income needed to finance the association’s ongoing activities. If you want to see the services ARC provides continue please commit to helping this committee raise the funds and awareness needed. Lisa S. Lynch, Executive Director ARC Rutland Area Rutland
