A bailout for the arts

Student receives prestigious NASA award Benjamin J. Scaralia of West Rutland, a senior at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a 2006 graduate of Mount Saint Joseph Academy, has been Scaralia awarded the John Mather Nobel Scholarship by the Henry Foundation, Inc. for his summer internship work at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Baltimore, Md. Mr. Scaralia is only one of seventeen international students to have won the award, and the first student in the state of Vermont.

Currently in his second year as a NASA summer intern, Scaralia has been working as a Quantum Chemist with Dr. Igor Eberstein and Dr. William Ward on a project formally titled “Quantum Mechanical Investigation of Planetary DOH/HOH”, which is aimed at studying atmospheric changes on the planet Venus. During his tenure, he has also developed a college-level physics program on Thermodynamics for NASA to be used on the Digital Learning Network.

Eligibility criteria for the award included: a rising senior undergraduate with intent for graduate school through third year graduate level; a minimum 3.5 GPA during Fall 2008 and /or Spring 2009 semesters; demonstrated interest in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM); and research experience.

The funding for the scholarship originated in a generous contribution from the John and Jane Mather Foundation for Science and the Arts, which in turn was funded from the award of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physics to Dr. John Mather for his work on the “Big Bang” theory.

Scaralia is majoring in applied physics at RPI in Troy, N.Y., with an interest in Astrobiology through Quantum Chemistry. His internship in NASA’s prestigious Summer Aerospace Workforce Development Research Internship Program (SAWDRIP) is being funded through the Vermont Space Grant Consortium.

The award was presented at a special honorary luncheon at the Johns Hopkins Club in Baltimore, MD, which was followed by a visit to the Space Telescope Science Institute, the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope, where Mr. Scaralia received the designation “John Mather Nobel Scholar.”

42 local organizations receive money

Gov. Jim Douglas announced last week that 42 Vermont arts organizations have received a total of $606,000 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). These taxpayer-funded grants are billed as preserving jobs in Vermont’s nonprofit arts sector.

“The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is designed to jumpstart the economy, create and protect jobs, and invest in key priorities,” said Douglas. “Like other jobs, arts jobs help individuals and families pay household expenses, put children through college and achieve financial stability.”

Through ARRA, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) received $50 million to help restore and preserve jobs in the nonprofit

Free heating oil promo sparks local interest Program helps Rutland-area families

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com If someone offered you $1,000 worth of free home heating oil would you take it?

Well, it looks like hundreds of Rutland-area residents are answering with a resounding “yes.” A unique newspaper effort that offers $1,000 worth of fuel—free—to the winner, is being sponsored by Patten Oil Co, Inc. of Rutland. The promotion, which helps benefit cancer research and local families with the disease, has created a buzz among local shoppers.

Patten, the first fuel company in Rutland County to provide 24/7 online service and a “Smart Cap” fuel pricing program, has also committed to contribute to cancer research and Rutland-area individuals fighting cancer.

For every galloon of fuel the company delivers in the pink truck, according to Dan Dukeshire, senior vice president of Patten, a portion of the price is donated to the Coleman Foundation which supports breast-cancer research—also, a portion of those local fuel-oil sales go directly to Rutland-area families fighting cancer.

Taxpayers to fund 80 percent of new bus route

Marley

Marble Valley Regional Transit District (The Bus) and Stagecoach Transportation Services Inc. (STSI) of Randolph, are working in partnership to create a new public transportation route that will reestablish scheduled bus service between Rutland and White River Junction.

Eighty percent of the new route funding will be taxpayer (federal/state) dollars, with 20 percent required local match coming from businesses and communities that benefit from the operation of the service.

In 2008, Vermont Transit discontinued scheduled service between Rutland and White River Junction.

The new route, if awarded funding by the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation, will begin in November and be named the Route 4 East Connection. The Route 4 Each Connection will travel Vermont Route 4 picking up and discharging passengers in Rutland, Killington, Bridgewater, Quechee, Woodstock, and White River Junction with local connections in the White River Junction area and into the Lebanon, West Lebanon areas of New Hampshire.

The Route 4 East Connection will offer connections to: Amtrak’s The Vermonter with service from Springfield, Massachusetts to Essex, Vermont with stops in White River Junction, Randolph, Montpelier, Waterbury, Burlington, and St. Albans, Stagecoach Transportation Services Inc. between Randolph and Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Hospital Medical Center, and the VA Hospital, Vermont Transit daily service between Burlington and Brattleboro with a stop in White River Junction and Dartmouth Coach routes stopping in White River Junction with service to Boston, and New York City through Stamford, Conn.

The Route 4 East Connection will operate four times daily midweek, with additional weekend service during the winter ski season. The requested one-way fare will be a $3 donation.

If awarded funding by the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation, this will be a three-year grant.

During an average week, ‘The Bus’ travels 13,736 miles and transports 10,431 riders in Rutland City, Proctor, Middlebury, West Rutland, Castleton, Fair Haven, Poultney, Killington, Manchester, Ludlow and towns in between. Marble Valley Regional Transit District has a fleet consisting of 62 vehicles and employs a staff of 69.

Concert on the Green: Final

Play footsie with Reggie’s Red Hot Footwarmers those daily doldrums.

There's no adventurous musical groundbreaking here, but like Hershey's for chocolate, or Mack for trucks, you can count on Reggie's Red Hot Feetwarmers for sweet and saucy tributary sounds.

Reggie’s Red Hot Footwarmers.

By Dick Nordmeyer nords@sover.net Next week’s concert in Castleton promises to be one of the top attractions of the summer with the return engagement of the swinging band Reggie's Red Hot Feetwarmers. This band brings a great ragtime and dixieland musical act to Castleton Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m. Reggie’s exciting group will close out a wonderful Castleton concert season in a fitting tribute to great music.

Reggie's quintet, is the house band for the Saratoga Racetrack; the band produces a great jaunty swirl of music.

A trumpet, banjo, the happy shriek of a clarinet, upright base and trombone will pro-

duce a magical throwback to an era of New Orleans traditional jazz, giving a new voice to old standards.

And, speaking of New Orleans—the Crescent City is where the dancing combo of Amy and Chance hail from; who can forget the oh , so fantastic, exciting dancing performance the City gave us last year? Well, they're back and Amy and Chance will again strut their stuff as part of the Aug. 18 entertainment.

Reggie's musicians' careers range from 20-54 years.

Dressed in dapper straw hats, they really turn it up a notch when it comes to great sounds. Reggie Scanlon is on stand-up bass, (can he ever "slap" it in trad jazz style), with Peter Davis on banjo, Tom Shields on trombone,

This is the final concert of the season, so don't miss this Tuesday, Aug. 18, starting at 7 p.m. sharp. It promises to be a most enjoyable evening of exciting dancing, and fantastic music, played by one of the best five piece bands in all

of New England.

The concert is free and open to the public. It will perform rain or shine. Rain site is the Casella Fine Arts Center at Castleton State College.

For further information, please contact 273-2911.

Scott Black on trumpet, and Dan Levinson, an internationally renowned clarinetist. Shields and Black have absorbed the legacies of Teagarden, Beiderbecke and company.

Songs like, "Tiger Rag", China Boy", James P. Johnson's "Old Fashioned Blues" to the drop-dead, "Goody Goody", "Margie", to the dreamy "Always" and "Avalon" will take you for a trip back in time. Throw in a little of Clyde McCoy's cloying "Sugar Blues", and a gently swinging portrait of "Rosetta", and you have one surefire method of driving away

Do Stores Lose When Couponers Win?

I

f you're a regular reader of my column by now you know that I love paying as little as possible for my groceries. Getting many things for free is great for the household budget, and it's fun, too. Yet, as you start to see your weekly grocery bill dropping by a third or even by half you may start to wonder, "Is my store losing money because I use coupons?"

You'll be happy to know that your store doesn't lose a dime when you use coupons. In fact, they make more money when you use coupons to save. The next time you're clipping coupons, read the fine print on one. The text reads, "Manufacturer will reimburse retailer the face value of this coupon plus $0.08 handling fee."

Did you catch that? Not only does the store get back the coupon's entire worth, it also will receive from the product manufacturer a payment of 8 cents per coupon redeemed.

Now, 8 cents may not seem like a lot, but if I take 20 coupons to the store this week, the store will make an extra $1.60 during my shopping trip. I save money and the store makes more money. It's a win-win.

In one of my coupon classes recently, someone asked me if the store still makes money when a shopper uses a coupon to get an item for free. Yes, it does. Here's a great example. This week, my grocery store is having a "dollar sale" in which items are on sale for $1 each. Pairing $1 coupons with a $1 sale is one of the easiest and best ways to get grocery items for free. So, I had five $1 coupons during this sale and I bought five $1 items with them. Even though I got those five products for free my store will still get the $5 cost of those items reimbursed to them, plus 8 cents for each coupon I've used. I went home with five free products and my store will receive $5.40 from my coupons.

Rest assured, even though you're taking home free things, your store is still being paid for them ... just not by you.

Why do manufacturers offer coupons that will many times give shoppers their items for free? Manufacturers want shoppers to try their products. They work hard marketing a brand and enticing shoppers to try it. They hope that by offering a coupon you'll try their product, realize

that you can't live without it, and continue to buy it on numerous occasions in the future. They're trying to build brand loyalty and product awareness.

You also may wonder if the manufacturers themselves lose money when people use coupons. Manufacturers do, indeed, reimBy Jill Cataldo burse stores for each coupon that shoppers use. However, coupons are part of their larger business plans. Manufacturers spend millions to establish a new brand or continue cementing loyalty to an old one. They often need to make shoppers aware of varieties of existing products or seasonal items, and they're willing to pay a certain amount of money in the form of coupons as part of these important marketing strategies.

Of the hundreds of thousands of coupon inserts that arrive in newspapers each week all over the country, the number of coupons that are actually cut out and redeemed at the stores by shoppers is around 6 percent. That's it.

About 94 percent of all coupons are thrown in the trash.

Reading that statistic always makes me cringe. All that "cash" being tossed away? It makes me shudder to think about all of the free goods that many people pitch into the recycle bin each week. If they only knew how many things they could get for free with those coupons.

Who doesn't want to get things for free? Almost everybody does. Coupons make it very easy to get items for free.

Next week, I'll tell you another easy way to get free groceries with coupons.

The galaxies of Canis Major Got health-care questions?

W

hen it comes to galactic objects and clusters, the constellation Canis Major has a lot to offer. This constellation includes a variety of island universes; it even contains a stunning example of two colliding galaxies famously photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Below is a lineup of a few of the galaxies and star clusters lurking within Canis Major. We have provided magnitude numbers in parentheses for telescope and binocular observers.

According to SUNY Stony Brook astronomer Aaron Evans’ Internet article on magnitude: “Very bright objects have negative magnitudes. For example, Sirius, the brightest star of the celestial sphere, has an apparent magnitude of -1.4.

The modern scale includes the Moon and the Sun; the full Moon has an apparent magnitude of -12.6 and the Sun has an apparent magnitude of -26.73. The Hubble Space Telescope has located stars with magnitudes of +30 at visible wavelengths and the Keck telescopes have located similarly faint stars in the infrared.”

Here’s a sampling of Canis Major ’s deep sky objects: Basel 11A (+8.2), Cr 121 (+2.6), Cr 132 (+3.6), Cr 140 (+3.5), Haffner 6 (+9.2), Haffner 8 (+9.1), M 41 (+4.5), NGC 2204 (+8.6), NGC 2243 (+9.4), NGC 2345 (+7.7), NGC 2354 (+6.5), NGC 2360 (+7.2), NGC 2362 (+4.1 naked eye in a very dark sky), NGC 2367 (+7.9), NGC 2374 (+8.0), NGC 2383 (+8.4), NGC 2384 (+7.4), NGC 2396 (+7.4), Ru 18 (+9.4) Ru 20 (+9.5), Tr 6 (+10.0).

Most observed of Canis Major ’s objects is the open cluster M41 (aka NGC 2287)—it’s the only “M” or Charles Messier object in the constellation. M41 is located south of the star Sir-

ius and is approximately 195 million years old. Most of M41’s approximately 100 stars are aging from the main sequence growth stage to the red-giant stage.

If you’d like to try your hand at deep-sky astrophotography, M41 is a good target; its red-giant stars provide rich colors with long-exposure photography.

Two other Canis Major galaxies worth mentioning are NGC 2207 and IC 2163, located 144 million light years from Earth.

Vast gravitational forces emanating from NGC 2207 are stretching and contorting IC 2163. As a result, IC 2163 is in the process of flinging streams of plasma and dust 200,000 light years into space. Both galaxies will continue this slow motion head-on collision for millions, perhaps billions of years. When the collision stops—and the titanic event will eventually come to rest—both galaxies will cease to exist as separate entities. The afterbirth will form a completely new galaxy, a galaxy that will incorporate the stars and planets from the original structures.

Vermont’s three members of Congress are home for the August recess. This will provide an excellent opportunity for citizens to query them on the subject of President Obama’s health care bill.

There are actually three large bills under intense development. The plan is to bring together some collection of provisions that will attract votes to pass the respective chambers. Then in the House-Senate conference, the leadership and the Obama administration will reshape the package into what they want.

With the assistance of Vermont’s nonpartisan Ethan Allen Institute, we present 12 questions that concerned citizens should consider asking Congressman Peter Welch: 1. The bills impose an individual mandate on me to buy health insurance approved by the federal government. What will happen to me if I don’t go along?

Fines? Wage garnishment?

Jail? Will these penalties also apply to millions of illegal aliens, or will they apply only to American citizens and legal aliens?

2. The bills impose a mandate on most businesses to pay for employee health insurance containing “essential benefits” approved by the federal government. If the businesses don’t do so, they’ll be required to pay a fine. How many small businesses in Vermont will shrink their operations, or go under, rather than pay this new penalty?

3. President Obama said that if I am happy with my coverage, I can keep it “no matter what”. Now I find out that I can keep it until my employer changes or drops it, or until I change employers, or until I try to buy individual insurance.

Will you stand behind the President’s initial promise, or will you support Con-

gress’s action to break it?

4. The bills contain a provision allowing health insurance plans bargained by labor unions to continue unchanged—while nonunion workers are threatened with loss of coverage. Is this preference for unionized workers a result of Labor ’s support of Obama and fellow Democrats in the last election? Do you support the exemption?

5. President Obama has said he won’t support a health care reform bill that will add to our exploding deficit. The Congressional Budget Office says this bill will bend the federal health care expenditure curve up— not down. Will you vote against any bill that fails President Obama’s requirement that it will not add to our deficit?

6. Governors of both parties have strongly objected that the bill’s mandated expansion of Medicaid will put an intolerable fiscal burden on struggling state treasuries and state taxpayers. Will you vote against any bill containing this very costly unfunded mandate?

7. The bill includes provisions for federally-designed “comparative effectiveness research”. This is intended to require health care providers to deny health care to elderly citizens, people with disabilities, and others the health of whom certain appointed experts think is not worth improving. Will you oppose any bill that contains such a provision?

8. The bill requires that “qualified” health insurance plans include all “essential benefits” determined by federal bureaucrats. Democratic majorities have already voted down amendments to exclude elective abortions from the list of “essential benefits”. That means that for the first time taxpayers will be required to subsidize

elective abortions. Will you vote for a bill requiring taxpayer financing of elective abortions?

9. Exploding medical malpractice claims, fueled by the plaintiff ’s bar, are driving doctor and hospital malpractice insurance premiums ever upward. Why are there no provisions in any of the bills to ameliorate this problem, which is driving doctors out of practice? Is it because the plaintiff ’s bar contributes millions of dollars to the leading sponsors of this legislation?

10. The bill contains a “public option”, a government-run insurance company “to keep the private insurers honest.” Will this government-run company pay taxes, pay for its own revenue collection and marketing costs, and pay market interest rates on its debt? Or will it enjoy government backing that will enable it to undersell its private competitors, swallow up their customers, and become a new “Medicare for Everybody”?

11. Speaking of Medicare, the system is $36 trillion out of actuarial balance and will run out of hospitalization benefit funds by 2017. How will the government-run “public option” insurance company avoid turning into another Medicare basket case? And how will our senior citizens on Medicare continue to get medical services?

12. Finally, as a supporter of this “public option” plan, are you willing to transfer your family and your staff ’s families out of the existing Federal Employees Health Benefit Plan, with its choices of many private insurers, into the new government plan? If not—why won’t it be good enough for you?

Little “lost” shopping cart in downtown Rutland.

Stores that cannot afford an anti-theft system, the city will waive the fee if the store puts in writing that it's willing to prosecute those responsible for removing the shopping cart from the premises. Representatives from Grand Union put in writing their willingness to prosecute or fine those who take carts from their lots.

Alderman Dave Dress said, “I believe the ordinance approved unanimously by the board will reduce cart theft significantly. Will it eliminate it entirely? I would have to say I doubt it. Why? We have learned from Price Chopper that even with the wheel locks, they are experiencing people overcoming the system by criminal means. But I am optimistic that with the community involvement that has stepped forward and the fines imposed on both the citizen and the merchant for inappropriate or absent action that this problem that has been such a blight to so many will be under control.”

The Rutland United Methodist Church is making efforts to develop a shop and ride system for residents without transportation home from the supermarkets. Price Chopper has been selling small pull carts for customers needing assistance with their groceries.

Local artists offer visions of food—with dignity Rural Vermont kicked off Art For Agrarians, the group’s first art auction, at the Twin Pond Retreat Center last Sunday. People came from all corners of the state for a chance to bid on pieces exclusive to the event, and to get a sneak peak at what would soon be available through the online auction.

Homemade hors d’oeuvres and wine from Lincoln Peak Vineyards helped make for an afternoon filled with happy stomachs and good conversation.

Artist Lorna Schilling said “It was an excellent opportunity to see great work by local artists, and to learn more about the great work that Rural Vermont is doing to help keep family farming economically viable.”

The afternoon was also highlighted by the introduction of Rural Vermont’s new executive director Brian Moyer.

Moyer expressed his excitement to be joining Rural Vermont, and the important role the organization will play in helping ensure the future of small-scale agriculture in Vermont and beyond.

Krans completes basic

City cracks down on shopping cart theft Shopping cart theft is about to get a lot harder for residents in Rutland. It will also put more pressure on businesses to contain their property to their grounds in Rutland.

In essence, there is a penalty imposed on both those people who are illegally taking the shopping carts and merchants that have not taken action to defend their interest in their property.

The Rutland Alderman’s Charter and Ordinance Committee has approved an ordinance that will tackle a problem long been described as affliction in neighborhoods where carts were left grouped or overturned on city sidewalks and abandoned in front of homes.

The stores continue to retrieve carts whenever alerted to a problem by citizens and make biweekly pickups to the areas of Rutland that are frequent locations for stolen carts to be located.

The ordinance, a hybrid of statutes in Rome, N.Y., and Worcester, Mass., was crafted by City Attorney Andrew Costello to help to make the theft of shopping carts punishable on multiple aspects.

The aldermen were in support that, if passed, is something the police should enforce.

First, if approved, the ordinance will make removing shopping carts from a business premises a civil offense that carries a ticket and a $50 fine.

So what does that mean for those individuals who are seen taking a shopping cart out of the Rutland Shopping Plaza, passing by a sign reading “Attention Shoppers. Please do not remove carts from store premises.” You may be fined $50 for stealing.

Second, the law will also define abandoned carts as a public nuisance and grant the city authority to impound any found off premises. Carts that remain unclaimed at the end of each month will be disposed of by the city, which will most likely sell them as scrap.

Stores that reclaim their abandoned carts will face a $50 impound fee per cart, unless that store has taken measures to try to prevent their carts from being stolen. (For example; Walmart and Price Chopper installed wheel-locking devices as one such anti-theft device.)

IntheMilitary Air National Guard Airman First Class Ryan T. Bowles graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

Bowles is a 2007 graduate of Fair Haven Union High School, Fair Haven.

Ceramic mugs are out of this world

Some local amateur astronomers claim Vermont has some of the best views of the full Moon in the northeastern United States. Their logic states that when you combine Vermont’s cool, still mountain air with the clarifying atmosphere often found over large, local lakes—such as Lakes Bomoseen and St. Catherine—you have ideal conditions for Moonwatching with either your naked eye or with a telescope.

If you are among those who enjoy gazing up at Earth’s rocky neighbor in space from your backyard, you’ll probably enjoy a new collection of Poultney, Wells and Fair Havenbased Moon digital images immortalized on ceramic coffee mugs.

Freelance photographer and writer Catherine Oliverio of Wells has taken her unusual collection of Rutland County lunar photographs and transformed it into “Moonlight in Vermont Mugs”, priced at $9.50 each.

The mugs take their name from the popular 1943 song written by John Blackburn and Karl Suessdorf and made famous by singer Margaret Whiting. The attractive mugs are produced locally and they make great gifts for your favorite

W

e’ve had more than our share of rain this summer, a fact backed by the weather experts. But last week’s sunny days have harkened my thoughts to remembrances of how blessed a day can feel.

The recent spate of sunny days is more deeply appreciated because of the preceding months of wet. It can be easier to recapture fondness for something you haven’t had for a while, which leads me to think I’d be awfully fond of a hot, semi-wet Montrealstyle kiss right about now.

If the saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder” is true, then “togetherness can be a nightmare” should also be true, no?

Standing at my booth at the Addison County Fair and Field Days—seeing hordes of families pass by—enables me to understand how patience and tolerance are essential ingredients for building long-term love and commitment within a tight family unit. At the fair, I don’t know for sure, but I can guess the families who’re effectively utilizing patience and tolerance, simply by watching their children.

You don’t have to look deeply, so much as you have to take your time looking into a child’s eyes to guess if he or she is being reared with ample touches of patience and tolerance. Don’t guess the rambunctious child is from a wild home and the tempered calm child is from the settled healthy home, because the opposite could be true. It’s in the eyes I tell you.

My booth happened to set next to a gal with a sweet family unit consisting of a husband and four kids, all under the age of eight I believe, 'cept the husband of course. It was interesting for me to watch them interact, and very easy to see how the parents mixed just the right amount of discipline, with equal amounts of patience and tolerance, while also allowing the proper amount of leeway into their little ones lives. The kids were way full of energy, but they were considerate, and content, as were most all the kids I saw last week at the fair.

How the hang you parents manage to do the extremely difficult work of raising children is beyond me. Nice job. I can barely remember not to leave the house without my Shaw’s card.

Two beautiful women stopped by my booth to share feelings they have about the intent of my comedy. A young women with two children told me she feels my material is very often disrespectful of Vermonters. She also feels the heavy Vermont accent I affect isn’t close to being accurate.

The entire time we spoke, nearly five minutes, she wore a smile. She laughed a handful of times too, and never once did I detect an ounce of anger directed toward me.

Not 90 minutes later, a second woman walked by my booth looking like she wanted to rest; I offered her my extra seat. She was a strong healthy gal—I’m going to guess, maybe, early seventies. Though she could easily have been one of those folks who’re much older than they look. She told me that when she hears me on the radio she often thinks I’m trying to put down native Vermonters.

I told my senior visitor, as I did the first women, that in fact my character and entire brand is built on my love of Vermont and Vermonters, and I try my best to speak in deference to the Vermonter. I told them that I always try to present my bits in such a way as to promote how the native working class Vermonter is, if not always, at least most often, as or more intelligent then the standard highly educated professional. After giving each gal an example of one of my stories, both ladies, the older one more so, thought they understood my intentions more clearly.

Any honest reaction to my material is pure and legitimate and I would never try to defend it. I only offer the person another pass of the offending piece, to see if they might pick-up something they hadn’t as they sat in the theatre and heard it the first time through. If after hearing my stuff a second time doesn’t effect their first reaction, that’s fine. I respect their feelings. I’m tolerant My show, material, character and brand, isn’t the point of this piece. The point is, both ladies showed tolerance for me by taking time to try and understand my position.

Tolerance. It’s a funny word when you look at it isn’t it?

It’s also very difficult to be tolerant. I’m not even sure the above piece is addressing what tolerance is, but I tried.

Thanks, ladies, for being tolerant of my show. Thanks readers for being tolerant of this piece on tolerance.

Rutland ‘salt cave’ starts a trend The public Himalayan salt cave in Rutland is no longer the only simulated salt cave in North America. Homeopath Dr. Margaret Smiechowski of the Pyramid Holistic Wellness Center and Salt Cave in Rutland announced last week that she helped construct a new Himalayan salt cave in Naperville, Ill. The midwest ‘cave’ is slated to open by midJuly.

Smiechowski is no stranger to building esatz salt caves.

She has built two of her own already in Rutland and is now working with people around the world to develop new Himalayan salt caves because of their almost-miraculous healing benefits.

Touting the healing benefits of Himalayan salt, Smiechowski believes that more salt caves will be popping up around the world.

“I can help people create their own speleotherapy rooms in several designs, including the salt cave and salt mine look, a relaxation chamber design, and even a restaurant design,” she said.

Winter in August a tradition The Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce presented the 28th Annual Winter in August Celebration Aug. 11. The event, which started over a quarter century ago, is held to recognize the positive economic impact that the ski areas have on the region.

This year ’s event was held in the Center Street Alley.

Mac’s Markets/Mac’s Flame Rite Heating Oil was the premier sponsor and had a display set up featuring services available in the region.

Local restaurants, delis and caterers prepared the displays and delicacies.

Punt, Pass and Kick showcases young athletes

By Frederick Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com Seventeen children, ranging in ages from six to fourteen, showed up at Neshobe Elementary school last Saturday to compete in the Punt, Pass and Kick Addison/Rutland county finals. There was a lot of fun in the sun, along with cheers and laughter.

Four of the competitors qualified to advance to the sectionals portion of the national contest. The date and place for that level has yet to be scheduled.

Peyton Mitchell of Leicester qualifies to advance in the 8-9 year old boys division. David Whitney, of Brandon, will represent Addison and Rutland counties in the 10-11 year old - boys division. Nick Felkl, of Orwell, moves on as the winner of the 12-13 year old - boys division. Nick’s younger brother Derek won the practice division (under 8 years old).

Florence Whitney (10-11 year old boys winner David’s older sister.) is the fourth player to advance in the 14-15

year old - girls division.

The other 14 competitors were William Whitney (Brandon), Michael Whitney (Brandon), Evan Pockette (Rutland), Jacob Stevens (Brandon), Peyton Keith (Bristol), Tyrus Keith (Bristol), Joshua Letourneau (Brandon), Jakob Trautwein (Middlebuy), Gage Mitchell (Brandon), Adam Sherwin (Brandon) and Jon Fitzcharles (Weybridge).

The event was sponsored by the Sons of the American Legion Squadron 55 located in Brandon, Vermont. For the first such event in a few years things went well. The hope is for it to become an annual event that grows each year.

SAL Squadron 55 would like to thank all their members who helped, along with Andrew Piper and Joey Massores of the Otter Valley varsity football team and all the parents who lent a hand at the event. They would also like to thank Neshobe school for the use of their property and American Legion Post 55 for the use of chairs and tables.
