Patricia Nassau of Weymouth, Mass., traces her family heritage to Rutland County and the quaint marble-rich community of Proctor. In recent years, she has returned to Proctor to pay her respects to the family gravesite in the town’s Riverside cemetery.

“My parents—Margaret ‘Peggy’ Pockett and Charles Nassau—were married in Proctor and generations of my family are buried there including my grandparents, Norma and Earl Pockett, and aunts, uncles and cousins.

Whenever I visit my grandparents’ gravesite, I see the

Nassau was in for a shock when she visited the cemetery in spring. Her family’s gravestone was vandalized.

WEDNESDAY August 5, 2009

Benson grand theft auto On July 23, at about 7:18 p.m., Vermons State Police Rutland investigated a reported theft of gas from the Benson Village Store in Benson. Information obtained from VSP dispatch indicated that a vehicle, a white Mercedes bearing a Massachusetts registration, was reported as stolen from the Middlebury area earlier that day.

VSP Rutland troopers located the vehicle at the intersection of Main Road and Route 22a in West Haven.

Troopers attempted to stop the vehicle; a brief pursuit ensued, traveling south on Route 22a onto Sheldon Road and onto Bigalow Hill Road, an approximate four miles before the vehicles tires were disable by a tire-deflation device.

The operator of the vehicle, identified as Brett S. Lane, age 24 of Middlebury, was taken into custody and processed at the VSP Rutland (Castleton Outpost). Lane was lodged at MVCC for lack of $10,000 bail. Lane is scheduled to appear in Rutland District Court on July 24 VSP Rutland was assisted by Fair Haven Police Department during this incident.

Town signs deal with ‘wind farm’ The West Rutland Selectboard approved a 30-year agreement with Vermont Community Wind Farm. The company plans to construct two large wind turbines on forested land in Ira. VCWF said it planned to erect a total 45 large wind turbines in Rutland County.

VCWF will be required to establish a fund that will pay for decommissioning the project.

According to comments by members of the West Rutland Selectboard, there is public opposition to the “green” project.

The Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) is partnering with Vermont Companion Animal Neutering (Vt.-CAN) to get Rutland County cats spayed and neutered.

Vt-CAN, a low cost spay/neuter clinic located in Middlesex is a long drive from Rutland County. To help out, RCHS and Vt.-CAN are working together to make it easier for cat owners. By dropping your cat at RCHS, volunteers will transport your cat to Vt.-CAN where he or she will be spayed or neutered and given a rabies shot, and returned to RCHS later that day.

There are four dates to choose from: Aug. 19, Sept. 10, Oct. 7 and Nov. 11. Prior registration is required and Vt.-CAN fees for services apply. To register, call RCHS at 483-6700.

The humane society is located at 765 Stevens Road, Pittsford,VT Hours of Operation: Wed. - Sun. 12 noon to 5 p.m.

Closed Mon. and Tues. For more information call 802-483-6700 or visit www.rchsvt.org

Organic food: no health benefits, study finds Organic food gives no health benefits to consumers, according to research for the British Food Standards Agency of published July 30.

Shoppers pay more for organic fruit, vegetables, chicken, beef and milk but the food gives no nutritional enhancement to people’s diet.

The watchdog stopped short of advising consumers that buying organic produce was a waste of money but its message was clear: choosing to eat organic food will make no important difference to a person’s overall health. Eating a healthy balanced diet is the only important thing, the report concluded.

The research—the first and biggest study undertaken of scientific papers published in the past 50 years on the health and diet benefits of organic food—will come as a blow to the organic food industry, which is now worth billions a year.

The findings, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, also threatens to put the FSA on a collision course with organic champions. Vermont is a national player in the organic foods market

Witnesses file complaint against State Senator

RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 3

Make an escape to the Caribbean in Rutland Caribbean touch with Carlos Lupton

Democrat is 2010 lt. gov. candidate

By Lisa Bates

From News Reports

newmarketpress@denpubs.com Burlington resident Tiki Archambeau and another witness filed a complaint regarding Democrat State Sen. Ed Flanagan (Chittenden County) last week. The witnesses said they saw Flanagan masturbating in the locker room of the Greater Burlington YMCA’s men’s wellness center.

Flanagan is a Democratic candidate in the Vermont 2010 lieutenant governor race.

Flanagan denied the charge.

“I was absolutely not doing that in the locker room,” Flanagan told a Fox 44 television news crew July 29. “...I did not do anything inappropriate, in my mind, when I was unclothed.”

“Too bad Ed doesn't remember that because I remember it vividly,” Archambeau told Fox 44. “In fact I wish I could shake the memory from my head.”

Other accounts of lewd and lascivious behavior, attributed to YMCA visitors, have been heard by some members.

According to the news report, Mary Burns, president of the Greater Burlington YMCA, did not comment on the claims. However, according to YMCA policy, guests found in lewd settings would have their memberships revoked.

Organic dairy farmers get help NOFA’s dairy and livestock program In recent months, the economic recession has created unprecedented challenges for Vermont’s 200 certified organic dairy farmers. After years of double-digit increases in consumer demand, reliable milk prices and impressive expansion in the number of organic dairy farms in Vermont, sales of organic dairy products nationally have decreased substantially.

There is now an oversupply of organic milk in most markets. The two major wholesale buyers of Vermont’s organic milk, Horizon Organics and Organic Valley Cooperative have implemented mandatory milk price or production cuts to address financial and supply-demand imbalances.

For a large number of organic producers the milk check now falls well short of covering the high cost of purchased organic feeds and fixed costs of production. Especially hard hit are organic producers who are new to organic farming; many incurred significant debt in transitioning to certified organic production and are still working to refine organic grazing systems and animal management practices essential to profitable organic milk production.

To date, one of Vermont’s certified dairy producers has sold the herd for financial reasons; two organic dairy producers have lost milk buyer contracts to produce organic milk. The coming months will be especially difficult for many organic producers until consumer demand for organic dairy products, and farm milk checks, recover.

In 2009, as it does every year, NOFA Vermont’s Dairy and Livestock Technical Assistance Program offers services and workshops designed to help organic dairy producers improve their organic farm practices and income. On-farm consultation services include business planning, farm energy auditing and information about cost-cutting practices.

NOFA Vermont’s Dairy and Livestock Program provides information about available low-cost loan and cost-sharing programs.

Advanced technical workshops for organic farmers are regularly offered on all aspects of organic dairying, including milk quality, animal health and nutrition, grain and forage production, farm budgeting, pasture and grazing systems, on-farm composting and herd housing. A full series of summer workshops is planned.

For more information about this summer ’s workshops and services offered by NOFA Vermont’s Dairy and Livestock Technical Assistance Program, visit NOFA Vermont’s webpage, www.nofavt.org, or call NOFA Vermont in Richmond at 802-244-6446.

You don’t have to jet down to the tropics to find your inner bliss. Now you can visit Carlos Lupton at Caribbean Massage, located at 79 Center St. in Rutland, to get in touch with your very own tropical isle of the mind. Lupton’s new business specializes in therapeutic massage.

Lupton offers several different types of massage; each type of massage is designed to address a specific need within the body: •Swedish massage strokes are recommended to relax the entire body.

•Deep tissue massage is for muscles traumatized by injury, stress or strain.

•Pressure point therapy is for persistent muscle pain that won’t go away—this involves energy movement moving the chi and unblocking energy along the meridian points.

•Sports massage helps to alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissue during physical activity, it can also be used to help athletes achieve their peak performance before an event by reducing muscle tension and promoting flexibility.

•Pregnancy massage helps release stress in a woman’s body; it can also help to reduce swelling, back and neck pain and improve circulation. Lupton teaches individuals how to safely massage their babies, which keeps the babies from getting gas.

Lupton is a graduate of the Vermont Institute of Massage Therapy in South Burlington. The school specializes in teaching students to view massage therapy as a form of physical therapy. Its approach is teaching a medical practice, which is in line with how Lupton views his service.

Although Lupton is a college-trained mathematician, his first love is massage therapy. It is a subject close to his heart.

Over 15 years ago on the way home to Vermont from Jamaica he was brutally attacked in the Miami airport.

“I was left for dead. I was in pain for years. I had seven cracked vertebrae; the doctors told me I wouldn’t ever be able to walk and I would be in pain forever. I had some friends who really helped me out. One was a chiropractor; the other one was a massage therapist. They worked on me for over 18 months. So now I am helping other people like they helped me,” he said.

Lupton has a dual practice—while he has his office in Rutland he also makes house calls all over the area. In addition, he is a practitioner of medical massage for people that have

In recent months, vandals have been reported “attacking” several cemeteries across the state—their targets are

work related injuries or car accidents. With a doctor's referral he can bill to auto insurance companies and workmen’s comp.

As a native Vermonter, Carlos Lupton has found his own inner bliss; he has a way to make a living in a field he loves and he remains in the place he loves most.

handsculpted Vermont marble and granite crosses, weeping angels, and other religious icons that have a resale value on the black market.

Stewards of Proctor ’s other cemeteries—the twin Catholic and Protestant cemeteries located across the street from St. Dominic’s Catholic Church— report no recent vandalism there.

“My mother hopes that whoever took the cross from the Riverside

Cemetery need it and that it wasn’t just stolen to be sold. Perhaps it’s naive hope, but if there’s even the slightest chance of getting the cross returned, we’d like to offer a reward and promise no recriminations.”

Jupiter gets whacked—again!

T

hanks to keen-eyed amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley of Australia, the world became aware of a second giant impact on planet Jupiter within 15 years. The event occurred on July 19. Fifteen years earlier— almost to the day—20 fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smacked into Jupiter. The July 1994 event was televised around the world.

“I noticed a dark spot rotating into view in Jupiter ’s south polar region and started to get curious,” Wesley told reporters about his recent discovery. “When first seen close to the limb, and in poor conditions, it was only a vaguely dark spot, I thought likely to be just a normal dark polar storm.

However, as it rotated further into view, and the conditions improved, I suddenly realized that it wasn't just dark, it was black in all channels—meaning it was truly a black spot.”

The impact blemish discovered by Wesley is big—very big; it’s about the size of Earth’s Pacific Ocean. Had the giant asteroid or comet that created this Jovian event collided with Earth, it would have been 1,000 greater in explosive power than the Tunguska comet airburst over the remote tundra of Siberia in 1908.

Other professional and amateur astro photographs of the impact site are being posted on the Internet almost weekly.

The images show the atmospheric aftermath of the event as a spreading black ink spot. But what happened down below the Jovian clouds after such a cosmic wallop?

Jupiter ’s slushy “surface” is under titanic pressure; it is composed of a very weird liquid-metallic form of hydrogen.

This “surface” (the term is used loosely by astronomers) lies deep beneath an increasingly dense and smoggy atmosphere composed of 90 percent hydrogen, 12 percent helium, along with methane, water, ammonia, silicon-based compounds, carbon, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, neon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphine, and sulfur. With a lot of this “porridge” to plow through, there’s probably no impact craters from either last month’s event or the 1994 comet spectacle. Besides, where would you begin to look in Jupiter ’s “surface” environment?

According to news reports, the Keck Observatory, atop Hawaii's Mt. Kea volcano, captured the impact last week via

H

saking a long-lived collaboration between itself and the spirit and soul of Laura Wallace. The brunt of the stroke left Laura’s left side dead, still, and out of commission.

Nice to see her right arm could still move, and she could still force un-intelligible sound out the right side of her mouth, which she did periodically throughout my thirty minute stay.

“You need to rest. Rest is good Aunt Laura. You’re set up perfectly here to rest. The girls will keep you comfortable,” is what I came up with in response to what Aunt Laura was trying to say.

Aunt Laura’s struggle to speak was sad to watch. I’d experienced end of life moments with my father, so the scene didn’t throw me. But still it’s odd and heart wrenching to stand watching life leave a blood relative. However at the same moment came a refreshing thought; half my genes are from the longevity hogging DeWees’ side (Dad lived to ninety-three, Laura Wallace is his sister), while the other half are from my mother ’s side, the Masons, a blood line that has shown serious longevity of it’s own for having sent many members deep into their eighties, and beyond.

Twenty-four hours after Aunt Laura’s stroke, a nurse from the care home called and said Laura had regained the ability to move her left side, and she was sitting up and talking fluently. The nurse said Laura wasn’t yet able to gulp down meals, but they were working on that.

The news was good, not because anyone would suspect Aunt Laura is dying to live longer, but because she had hastily repaired from the stroke to the point where she no longer had to struggle to breath and speak.

A week has passed and I’ve visited a flourishing

an infrared camera. Astronomers believe they can learn about the behavior of Jupiter ’s atmosphere by studying the rate at which the impact hole expanded and dissipated.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope was quickly redirected from its deep-space work to inspect the Jupiter impact site.

Hubble returned several outstanding natural color images of the impact scene. Also, Hubble’s brand new camera—installed by shuttle astronauts in May—payed for itself by providing astronomers with high-resolution, visible-light pictures of Jupiter ’s wound.

One amateur astronomer ’s accidental discovery of the giant impact on Jupiter illustrates the need for more international vigilance regarding erratic, natural space objects grazing too near the Earth.

More governments need to support deep sky observing programs that monitor Earth-approaching asteroids and comets.

This writer believes climate change concerns pale when compared to the extinction threat of a massive asteroid blow to Earth. Even with that said, there’s no fleet of space arks planned, a la the 1950s sci-fi film “When Worlds Collide”, to evacuate essential human beings (you and me) off planet.

What’s in the Sky: Aug. 12-13 is the projected peak of the 2009 annual Perseids Meteor Shower (up to 60 meteors per hour). The peak occurs Aug. 12 and ends Aug. 22. The radiant for the shower is the constellation Perseus. Look to the northeast starting midnight.

Louis Varricchio, M.Sc., is a former NASA science writer. He is Vermont’s NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador and promotes public interest in space science and space exploration around the state.

Black swans and test scores

Aunt Laura air once red is now a color that’s hard to describe.

Blue eyes are still blue, less blue, but blue, set past the brow, partially hidden back beneath the skull. Lips are surprisingly supple, kept moist with small but steady trickles of drool. Few teeth, more than you’d guess, and those that are, still set straight and strong. Ears oversized for a head that seems to have shrunk. The skin and tendons and fluids all withered. Do skulls shrink?

Skin hangs taut topside of the biceps muscle, that is attached loosely by tendons to elbow and shoulder bones.

Upper arm skin and muscles bow low, sway to and fro: Conjure a chicken wing you’d flick aside for lack of good flesh.

Hands still grip with power, they feel and are made soft, tender, and smooth, by the type of persistent erosion that turns ledge to stone. Finger nails painted, look perfectly in their prime; they are ten little egomaniacs ready for the ultimate Homecoming Ball. Interesting information; fingernails continue to grow after death.

Veins plump as Slim Jims run arbitrarily like rivers from the forearm to the tips of the fingers. Arms and hands tell the age and the story as much or more than the face. More. The arm is an old lady horror movie arm.

It’s ultra defined. It’s freeze dried, shrink-wrapped. All its components are visible, which makes for an easy study. Arms are sexy, even these one hundred year old arms. The face, not so much.

Below the neck, which resembles a turtle’s, a soft baby blue dress lies draped, unfulfilled, over a body that has worked fluidly and effectively for ninety-nine years. It can’t and won’t last much longer.

The old body stroked, for-

Aunt Laura several times.

She’s bushy tailed as can be.

She jokes, laughs, charms, and she’s even taking nourishment in the form of ice cream and sweet drinks. Not the most nutrient rich diet, but what the hey, when you’re 99, who’s keeping track?

How long can a human being last without a steady run of healthy fuel? Who knows? All I know is, if we give the human organism the slightest chance to survive, it will utilize our efforts to the nth degree. What a machine.

I take that knowledge as a prompt to work hard and respect the body and soul I’ve been blessed with, with all my heart and soul, and to the best of my abilities. To give anything less than a supreme effort to maintain a healthy mind, body, and spirit, in my opinion, is down right rude. My effort has waned, too often, but never yet to a level where the cause is lost.

Thank you, to whom, and or whatever, is responsible for life. Thank you, especially at this particular time, for giving Aunt Laura a beautiful and long life. A life that is quickly approaching its end—I think.

Cutlasswielding actor Tyrone Power and fiesty actress Maureen O’Hara brought the book to life in the popular 1942 movie.

Now that Tyrone Power et al. are nearly forgotten to the younger generation, “black swan” is known as a recent term in economics referring to a statistically-almost-impossible, but nevertheless actual event, such as the 1987 singleday-in-October stock market plunge (when there was a 23 percent drop in the Dow-Jones average).

A 2007 book by Nassim Taleb describes the phenomenon in gory detail. Black swan events happen in politics as well—typically, when a speaker solidly identified with a given ideology (and its supporting sub-principles) suddenly gives voice to the opposite.

Invariably, in the non-economic world, holding two conflicting ideas simultaneously receives the shrink-speak label of “cognitive dissonance”; the dictionary definition typically mentions the discomfort, anxiety, or mental tension in the mind of the holder.

But what about those who hold conflicting notions simultaneously and with no apparent discomfort at all?

Recently, I took note of the gentry-left exurbanites who are “into” (an overused, post-modern neologism) both smartgrowth—an urban-development pattern which looks upon traditional lawns and gardens as land-wasteful sprawl-causes—and grow-ityourself, which of course requires lot square footage for veggies or poultry-grazing or both. These exurbanites see no conflict between the two notions and give no indication of discomfort with them. Now, what about those in governance who, glibly, espouse concepts they more frequently oppose?

Historically, such statements aren’t rare enough to be called black-swan events. Con-

sider, for example, the pro forma ‘I’ll keep us out of European wars’ promises of U.S. Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt or the “read my lips: no new taxes” pledge of President Bush I. As subsequent events showed, these men knew differently at speech-time, yet “cognitive dissonance” didn’t apply to them because they never even broke a sweat—either at pledge-time or at pledge-break-time.

As highly-skilled politicians, Wilson, Roosevelt and Bush I could easily advocate for two conflicting concepts simultaneously.

But then there’s the recent case with Vermont Education Commissioner Armando Vilaseca; he surely desires to be considered an educator and not a politician.

A June 12 news item in the Barre Times-Argus newspaper described the black-swan event wherein the commissioner addressed yet another study group—labeled the Workforce Development Council.

Vilaseca tossed out a few perennial educational-governance platitudes, such as “school district reorganization” ( the last reorganization, into supervisory unions, took place in 1912, and the rash of union high school construction took place in the 1950s and ’60s) and year-round schooling (the agricultural year is so, like, yesterday).

Vilaseca also included this shocking black-swan pronouncement: “We don’t need as many teachers as we have now.” A charitable interpretation would be that he chose to misspeak. A few years ago, his predecessor, Richard Cate, had (far more typically) defended high teacher numbers on the grounds that the nation’s lowest class size had produced higher test scores (they didn’t and don’t, but that’s another set of facts usually left unrecited).

No Vermont governor, and no state board of education, in recorded state history has ever advocated reducing teacher numbers; given the voting clout of the educator-bloc, it isn’t likely to do so, so it’s tempting to suggest that Vilaseca’s black-swan, “no-cognitive-dis-

sonance”, moment was a verbal anchor-to-windward in the unlikely event that overall voter resistance to rising school payrolls and spending (in times of ever-declining enrollment), might make staff reductions unavoidable. It hasn’t so far, which suggests that a taxpayer uprising in 2009 Vermont would be a black-swan moment in its own right.

As such, Vilaseca’s one-timeonly teacher reduction-in-force proposal is right up there with Vermont’s socialist U.S. senator’s statistically-improbable feat of winning an NRA approval for some similarly unrepeated wink-to-supporters verbal gymnastics on the Second Amendment.

Far more likely to be repeated is Vilaseca’s criticism of too numerous school-board members.

“One school board member for every 70 students,” he complained, “indicates the scope of the problem.” Yes, indeed, from the educrat perspective, there’s too much local control out there.

Conversely, about as non black swan as you can find are the statistics contained in the Wikipedia entry on Vermont’s educational standing and state ranking: “...Vermont was named the nation’s smartest state in 2005 and 2006… however, when allowance for race is considered, a 2007 U.S. government list of test scores shows Vermont white 4th graders performed twenty-fifth in the nation for reading [NAEP 229 of a perfect 500] and twenty-sixth for math [NAEP 247 of a perfect 500].”

Such scores put Vermont halfway down the list of states test scores, not at the top.

Italian Club raises funds for Camp Ta-Kum-Ta Rutland’s Italian-American community has a big heart— the city’s ItalianAmerican Club hosted a successful Camp Ta-Kum-Ta fundraising event recently.

Gary and Eileen Lazetera started organizing benefits for Camp Ta-Kum-Ta back in 1992; it has grown to become a family affair and now includes the Lazetera’s son Andrew.

The big annual dinner at the Italian-American Club raised over $2,400 this year.

During the past 18 years, club members have raised close to $140,000 for the camp. Gary Lazetera started one year after his brother ’s battle against cancer ended in 1991.

The next area camp benefit is scheduled for Oct. 18 at the 18th Annual Camp T-KT Golf Tournament being held at Woodstock Country Club.

Teams and sponsors are welcome to participate by contacting the Lazeteras.

Each four person team that participates will include golf, golf cart, raffles, prizes and a complete dinner.

For more than two decades Camp Ta-Kum-Ta has provided a safe, loving place where children from Vermont and New York who have, or have had cancer can play, swim, share, and heal.

In short, Camp T-K-T is where kids go to reclaim a childhood robbed by cancer.

For 24 years Ta-Kum-Ta has operated as a one-week program, leasing the old

Camp Holy Cross on Malletts Bay in Colchester. In 2008, facing an economic crisis, the owners of Holy Cross decided they could no longer support children’s programming—the search for Ta-Kum-Ta’s future began.

Ta-Kum-Ta’s new home sits atop a hill on the scenic Lake Champlain island of South Hero.

With ample room to grow, the new Camp T-K-T offers the opportunity for expanded programs that include the Winter Adventure Camp, Family and Sibling Camp, Bereavement Camp, Youth Leadership Development as well as activities for children facing life-threatening illnesses.

Camp Ta-Kum-Ta is blessed with a beautiful par-

cel of land and a lodge housing office, kitchen, and medical facilities. Future plans include handicap-accessible cabins, pond, splash-pad, arts and crafts, activities, security, and chapel buildings.

Ronald Kohn started Solar Heat Vermont in Middlebury.

It is a business that sells solar heat kits. A simple kit enables the buyer to build and install a passive solar panel without spending thousands of dollars.

Inside each $85 solar kit are instructions, a parts list, an aluminum-mesh collector plate, vent templates, airflow flapper valves, fasteners, and hardware cloth. Also included are telephone and e-mail support from Solar Heat Vermont.

According to Kohn, the purchaser will need to spend an additional $80 to $90 on framing lumber for installation.

Kohn believes his customers are any individuals interested in saving money on heat. Because his is an Internet-based company, he will sell to anyone interested in his product.

When Kohn retired in 1998 and moved to Vermont, he had no idea he would be opening a new business. His company started at the result of an article he read in Mother Jones magazine about simple solar heaters. “I ran across a collectors design two years ago in December 2006 and I decided to build a simple solar heater. Before that solar designs were so complicated that there was no economic payback for going solar; it was more a status symbol. I was fascinated by this new ideal and I put one on my garage. I couldn’t believe how efficient it was -- it blew out so much heat. I couldn’t believe that something so easy had made such a difference. I went out and tried to start a non profit. I did a couple demos but there was very little interest in doing it, perhaps because it wasn’t complicated enough. “ Interest in Kohn's business has been growing as fuel costs rise. He recently re-started his company as a sole proprietorship to take advantage of this growing market.

Check it Out: Solar Heat Vermont is open for business Monday through Friday. Its URL is solarheatvermont.com; the e-mail address is FreeHeat@solarheatvermont.com. The telephone number is 349-5833.

Town to buy wetland parcel From Tribune Staff Reports newmarketpress@denpubs.com The Town of West Rutland will purchase another section of biologically diverse wetlands including an outstanding bird habitat.

Rutland’s on the ‘Rampage’

By Shawn Pemrick newmarketpress@denpubs.com Vermont Rampage, Rutland’s only semi-professional football team, played its first game of the 2009 season last week. Fans packed Rutland High School’s Alumni Field to watch an afternoon of action-packed summerseason football.

The Vermont Rampage, now in its second semi-pro season, is growing. The team’s roster includes more than 40 talented players and several skilled coaches.

Jim Helm of Fair Haven is head coach this season.

Helm has five years of coaching football under his belt guiding the Fair Haven High School Slater ’s respected football program.

Roy Thomas of Rutland is head of game day operations and is also marketing director for the Rampage. He has been with the team since the start and has been an important asset linking the team with the community.

One of the major action items on Thomas’ clipboard was getting the Rampage a home field in Rutland.

Alumni Field boasts the only turf field in central Vermont; it’s an ideal gridiron for games of the New England

More than two million kids from around the world will play on 7,000 baseball Little League teams this year.

These children, ages 13 and younger, are taking part in a tradition that spans nearly 70 years. Parents across the world enroll their children in Little League not just to learn the sport, but to learn the ethics and team spirit associated with the great American pastime.

“What is on the field is an imitation of human life,” said Dan Liberthson, PhD., and author of the new book “The Pitch is on the Way: Poems about Baseball and Life.”

Liberthson said taking part in baseball games and watching the professionals on the field are fantastic ways to teach children the basic morals and guidelines of life.

“For 130 years we’ve been cheering for players to battle each other and challenge themselves on the ball field. No other sport is quite as American or inspirational.”

Parents want to give their children the tools for a successful and enjoyable life. Little League, Pony League, college, and professional baseball are great ways to build the foundational skills kids need to become adults. In praise of Liberthson’s book, Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig agreed: “The great American pastime isn’t just a sport —it’s a chance to learn skills that guide Americans through all the pitfalls the world can throw at us.”

Liberthson’s poems point out four life lessons both adults and children can get from baseball if they know where to look: •Failure, Injury, and Defeat Are as Much a Part of the Game as Success. As Liberthson points out in his poem “The Mound,” about a pitcher yanked from the game, we can all blow it, but we need to pick ourselves up and try again.

•Don’t Relegate Yourself to the Dugout. A player might miss one opportunity and lose his focus for the rest of the game. He becomes obsessed with that one early mistake and can’t recover. It is the same with life: if you dwell on your past mis-step, you’ll never get a foothold on future success.

•Don’t Let the Hecklers Get You Down. In many games, some fan is shouting above the crowd for the batter to miss, or the pitcher to throw badly, or deriding the umpire’s calls.

Taking such spiteful criticism to heart will only ruin the player ’s pleasure in the game and his chance of winning.

“Everywhere in life you run into people rooting for you to fail,” said Liberthson. “Look at these professional athletes on the field and think about how the rival team is hoping they’ll fall flat on their faces. Still, these men often manage to succeed. It’s a good lesson for life: ignore unhelpful criticism if you are giving the game your best. You won’t have a chance to win if you don’t stop beating yourself and letting the hecklers beat you.”

•You Can’t Win By Yourself. Baseball is a team sport. Sure, some teams have high-paid ‘hot shots,’ but without nine players on each team and many support staff there is no game. The same is true of life: you can be the best at what you do, but if you’re not surrounded by good, supportive people whom you treat well, your chances of enjoying the experience are zero.

“Life is hard, but at its core life is a game, a serious game.

Maybe who wins or loses the game isn’t as important as how a player feels about the job he’s done as he walks off the field,” Liberthson said.

Guest Viewpoint

The fault is in not in our stars, dear Brutus, but in our baggage...

“Cat, you’ve been out dancing every night this week. Look at you. You have bags under your eyes.”

I strolled into the kitchen, took two brown paper lunch bags out of the cabinet, and Scotchtaped them under my eyes.

“So, Mom, I have bags under my eyes?”

She took one look at me, tried to hold back a burst of laughter, then sarcastically said, “You’re too much.”

Upon reflecting on this scene, I realized that the evolution of the bag for me began with our ordinary lunch bag. These days many refer to me as “the Bag Lady of Poultney High School” as I cart as many as five workbags into school. Each bag is organized for a certain purpose. The way I look at it bags help organize life’s responsibilities.

According to the Encyclopedia of Symbolism by Kevin J. Todeschi, bag and baggage is defined as: “That which one possess and may utilize”.

Metaphorically, the word bag can be used as follows: having something in the bag equals planning on a successful outcome; packing one’s bags equals getting ready for departure. Having excess baggage equals having personal problems. A trash bag could signify that which needs to be thrown away or that which one has discarded. Bag lady might symbolize simplicity.”

No matter where you go and what you do, we all have baggage, which, for many, can be downright hard-knocked baggage as life progresses.

What about student, relationship, family, emotional, and other assorted life baggage? Why do some of us have more baggage than others? In many respects life’s circumstances unfortunately dictate what type of baggage we must carry.

The baggage that seems to be most troublesome to me, along with other teachers, is the student baggage. Some of our students come from such broken homes, and they need the return of the “love, nurturing, caring” baggage from us who truly care for them.

It seems that other priorities for some in the field of education seem to get in the way of this. Why don’t we take a step back and remember it all began the slow progression of bags?

When you think about it, we began with our parents’ baby diaper bags, lunch bags, schoolbook bags or backpacks, and eventually graduated to employment bags.

Bags come in all shapes and sizes, but many of us tend to deal with too many garbage bags.

There are all types of bags: plastic grocery, brown paper grocery, recycling, handbag, sports and gym bag, tool tote bag, cosmetic and toiletry bag, personalized travel luggage, and carryon air-travel bag. Bags, too, come in a variety of status brand and non-brand levels such as: Coach, Louis Vuitton, your basic leather, canvas, plastic, mesh, netted, quilted, and so on.

Many folks even have personalized monogrammed bags.

Last summer, a man I know had a unique bag, which he called his attaché case—his very own case for carrying and monitoring his bodily fluids after extensive surgery.

Baggage—where does it lead or not lead? How many bags do you carry or can you carry?

In any event, for those that want to get rid of any kind of baggage, do what my mother suggests. She has the correct attitude about the personal baggage we carry around with us each day: “Put it on an airplane and let it fly away.”

From the Governor

Greenhouse gas standards

T

he Obama Administration’s decision to grant California a waiver for its standards restricting greenhouse gas emission from motor vehicles is a significant step in the right direction for Vermont and other states that adopted these standards. My commitment to reducing carbon emissions in Vermont is longstanding as Vermont has been fighting to join California in adopting these standards for some time now.

As the first state to adopt California’s motor vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards and to successfully defend these standards against legal challenges by the auto-

mobile industry in federal court, Vermont is a leader among the more than a dozen states that have adopted these tougher standards.

Auto emissions are one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas concentrations. This is particularly true in Vermont where the transportation sector accounts for approximately 45 percent of our carbon footprint. That is why reducing an emission from automobiles is so important here in Vermont.

The Clean Air Act clearly provides states with the right to adopt these emission standards. EPA’s decision to grant a waiver now allows states to enforce these standards.

This decision by Administrator Jackson embraces states’ rights and I applaud the EPA action.

Gov. Jim Douglas

New ATV trail opens on Birdseye Mountain

Rutland County ATVers helped christen the new Polaris Run Trail at Birdseye Mountain.

Birdseye Mountain ATV Club celebrated the grand opening of Polaris Run ATV Trail with Music on the Mountain featuring the outstanding local band ThunderRoad.

A ribbon cutting ceremony took place and the event officially opened the VASA ATV trail across the summit of Birdseye Mountain ridge which straddles the Castleton-Ira town lines.

The ATV trail was made possible by the generosity of a Polaris Industries grant and landowner Ed Davis.

BMAC gratefully appreciates the support of our sponsors, supporters and associates; Outdoors in Motion, Dan Turco Yamaha, Central Vermont Motorcycles, ProCycle, Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, Castleton First Responders, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Evans Family Band and Brian Notte and ThunderRoad. BMAC's annual Last Hoorah will be held in September.

Library reduces lighting How many light bulbs does it take to change your outlook?

Kenneth Coe, educational technology specialist at Green Mountain College’s Griswold Library, has one answer: 505.

This summer Coe and helpers began replacing existing 32watt fluorescent bulbs in the three-story library building with more energy efficient, longer lasting 28-watt bulbs. By removing a total of 505 older bulbs, the library has cut its electricity use by 34 percent, a reduction that could save the college an estimated 62,216 kilowatt hours a year.

A bridge too far—gone?

A new agreement but no clear plans From Eagle Staff & News Reports The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) announced last week the finalization of a bi-state agreement between New York and Vermont for the progression of a project to rehabilitate or replace the Lake Champlain Bridge—with either a new bridge or a ferry boat—spanning Lake Champlain between Crown Point, N.Y. and Chimney Point, Vt. No work is planned until 2013, four years after the Champlain Quadricentennial. Tourists to both states this summer will cross a rusting bridge in need of serious repair. Exposed masonry rebar is visible in places on the structure. And there were no plans to cosmetically dress-paint the structure for the international Champlain celebration now underway.

HTNB Corporation of New York City has been selected as design consultant. The project is between NYSDOT and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VAOT), in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

HNTB is a national transportation infrastructure firm doing bridge rehabilitations and replacements. The design team will initiate work on the project once approved by the New York State comptroller.

The bi-state agreement demonstrates the partnership between the states and the common understanding of the needs of the structure, with no specific plan.

The project is considered to be in a preliminary planning stage and is expected to require the completion of an Environmental Impact Statement before a proposed solution is selected.

Options include rehabilitation or replacement of the existing bridge or the use of a ferry boat. While not specifically noted by officials, bridge or ferry tolls could also be considered by the states.

Old bridge reconstruction, new bridge construction, or a ferry boat to replace the bridge, would be tentatively planned for 2013.

The 80-year-old bridge accommodates approximately 3,400 vehicles per day. There was no information provided by either state regarding the daily vehicle capacity of a ferry boat.

The existing structure is a combination of a through-truss, decktruss and deck plate girders measuring 2,184 feet in length on 14 spans.

Vermont State Rep. Chris Bray (D), whose legislative district includes the Vermont side of the bridge, said he has been kept up-

to-date on the recent agreement.

When asled how many local residents use the bridge daily, Bray said, “As I have heard, there are quite few Middlebury College and Agrimark employees who commute from New York (via the bridge).”

Officials of each state said they recognize the significance of the bridge—but there is no certainty that the classic 1920s structure will remain after 2013.

“The agreement requires the states to consider all reasonable alternatives to rehabilitate or replace the bridge, including replacement of the bridge with a ferry,” according to James C. Boni, project manager with the New York State Department of Transportation.

The least appealing option, at least to some local residents and commuters, is a speculative ferry boat option.

The distance at the bridge site is short and daily commuter costs, as well as delays in queing for a vessel, would likely make this the least appealing option among local residents. An added ferry toll—or even a bridge toll—might be seen as a step back, not an improvement. Many local commuters and shoppers travel between both states via the current bridge.

“In reference to tolling a bridge alternative, it is my understanding that, at an absolute minimum, a statutory authority and an additional agreement between New York and Vermont would be required. Tolling the bridge may also have implications on funding the project with federal funds. Therefore, while tolling a bridge is not completely out of the question, it is probably unlikely,” Boni said. “Otherwise the two states risk jeopardizing the federal funding associated with the project—this project is currently funded 80 percent federal, 10 percent New York and 10 percent Vermont.”

Terri Meyfield, a Middlebury resident who commutes to work at a large retailer in Ticonderoga via the bridge, wasn’t too happy when a ferry option was proposed to her.

“A toll ferry is a terrible idea. Replacing the bridge with a boat would make my life miserable. I am a single mother, and what little money I make now would vanish by paying daily tolls,” Meyfield said. “Vermont’s new gas tax, my high property taxes, are just getting to be too much. Why are they taxing us more now, during the worst recession since the Great Depression? If this option is seriously on the table—well, then I am going to oppose it.”

One of the first tasks the consultant will complete is an evaluation of the existing structure to determine the feasibility of rehabilitating the bridge, including cost of the work and potential impacts to motorists. All options will be identified and evaluated and public input will be solicited before progressing a particular

A public advisory committee (PAC) has been organized composed of members of various communities and representatives of community groups. To date, three PAC meetings have been held to initiate dialog between the lead agencies and the PAC. The next PAC meeting will be held shortly after the design consultant begins work on the project.

Historic, business, agricultural, residential, environmental, and recreational interests are represented on the PAC. The PAC will be one important method for the lead agencies to obtain stakeholder input early in the planning process when needs are assessed, objectives formulated, and alternatives evaluated for feasibility.

Public informational meetings scheduled during the project’s design phase will provide an opportunity for community input.

The bridge’s condition will continue to be monitored during the development of the project to ensure the safety of the traveling public.

NYSDOT has established a web site for this project which can be found at www.nysdot.gov/lakechamplainbridge" www.nysdot.gov/lakechamplainbridge.

The public is encouraged to visit this site for periodic project updates. Public comments about the project can be sent by e-mailing to r01-lakechamplainbridge@dot.state.ny.us Comments can also be mailed to NYSDOT, Region One Design, 328 State St., Schenectady, N.Y., 12305, Attentin: James C.
