More complaints about “Cash for Clunkers” The new Cash for Clunkers program is the government’s way of rewarding Americans who want to trade in their current vehicle for more a fuel-efficient option. Although dealerships across the country have been in a financial squeeze for months, so far this program isn’t much of a reward for new car dealers.

Better Business Bureau in New England and elsewhere has been receiving complaints from its accredited auto dealerships participating in the Cash for Clunkers program. Most of these complaints surround the claim submission process and the length of time that it is taking the government to

College speaker will recall ‘Love Canal’ tragedy In 1978, when Lois Marie Gibbs discovered that her child attended an elementary school built on top of a toxic chemical dump, she mobilized her neighbors to do something about it. The Love Canal Homeowners Association petitioned local and state officials, gathered data regarding birth defect and miscarriage rates and documented a range of illnesses. It took two years and many hard-fought battles against the government and corporate interests, but in 1980 President Jimmy Carter authorized funding to relocate all residents of Love Canal who wished to leave.

On Sept. 3, Green Mountain College will introduce Gibbs as the keynote speaker for the college’s 2009 convocation at 4 p.m. on the Griswold Library Lawn. Her speech, titled “Love Canal 30-Plus Years Later: What Have We Learned and Where Do We Go From Here?” is open to the public.

GMC will also award Gibbs an honorary degree of humane letters.

After her experience at Love Canal, Gibbs devoted herself to helping citizens organize environmental justice campaigns. In 1981, she created the Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ), an organization that has assisted over 10,000 grassroots groups. Gibbs is now executive director of CHEJ and speaks with communities about toxic chemicals and children’s “unique vulnerability to environmental exposures.”

In her book “Love Canal: The Story Continues”, published in 1998, Gibbs discusses contemporary issues regarding chemical exposures. She is also the author of “Love Canal: My Story and Dying from Dioxin”. Known to many as the Mother of Superfund, Gibbs has been cited as an example of how an ordinary citizen can successfully organize a grassroots movement to challenge powerful corporate interests.

Gibbs has received many awards including the 1990 Goldman Environmental Prize, Outside Magazine’s “Top Ten

Rain damages Alumni Field Rampage game flooded out at RHS

By Shawn Pemrick newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND—The Vermont Rampage semiprofessional football team had a defeat of sorts—the team’s home game was postponed last Sunday due to heavy rain and flooding in Rutland last Friday.

According to Coach Roy Thomas, the game was moved from Fair Haven to Alumni Field in Rutland, but the move was starcrossed.

Flooding throughout Rutland backed up drains and even caused flooding at Alumni Field. Alumni Field is a turf field field requiring drainage that is connected to the city’s water and sewer systems.

Some pieces of the turf were seen floating; the field was likely damaged due to the flooding. Rutland High School‘s sports season starts soon and new turf will have to be applied and inspected before teams are allowed on the field.

Clunkers From page 1 send out rebate checks to the new car dealers. Dealerships are also reporting that many applications are being rejected due to technicalities.

“Automobile dealers have been financially stressed from months due to slow vehicle sales,” said Paula Fleming, spokewoman for the Better Business Bureau. “For smaller dealerships, the cash-flow squeeze of delivering vehicles and then waiting for the payment of these rebates can be a huge hardship, if not a crushing blow.”

Since the Cash for Clunkers program has been put into effect, dealerships have been inundated with consumers coming in and wanting to trade their vehicles. While this has been good for business, the dealerships have to go through a significant claim process to actually get paid by the government. After submitting each individual rebate that they receive, the dealerships must wait for each one to be approved by the government before they receive payment for the vehicle.

Fleming said the Better Business Bureau is encouraging

the U.S. Department of Transportation and NHTSA to do everything possible to expedite the rebate application process and to streamline the paperwork for the Cash for Clunkers program.

“Dealers need to be paid quickly for pending applications and it is important to assure that rebates are paid as speedily and with as little administrative hassle as feasible,” she said. “BBB is also assisting its accredited dealerships to preserve their client relationships, by offering neutral dispute resolution outreach programs.”

‘Herstory’ of the American Revolution Focus on historian Mercy Otis Warren On Saturday, Aug. 29, Nancy Rubin Stuart, author of the new book, “The Muse of the Revolution: The Secret Pen of Mercy Otis Warren” (published by Beacon Press), will speak at the Mount Independence State Historic Site in Orwell about this little known Founding Mother of our country.

The program, the annual J. Robert Maguire Lecture, begins at 1 p.m. After the lecture will be a walk on the Baldwin Trail.

Mercy Otis Warren was America’s first woman playwright and female historian of the American Revolution. In this unprecedented biography, Nancy Rubin Stuart reveals how

Warren’s provocative writing made her an exception among the largely voiceless women of the eighteenth century. Stuart will be signing copies of her book, available in the museum shop, after the discussion.

Rubin Stuart is an award-winning author, journalist and writer-producer who specializes in women and social history.

Mount Independence is located near the end of Mount Independence Road, six miles west of the intersections of Routes 22A and 73 in Orwell.

How a tiny spout may change the maple sugaring industry olutionary impact on the maple industry.

“We’re very excited about the new fitting,” he said. “It’s going to add as much to syrup and sap production as vacuum tubing did. I’m confident that this is going to be the thing to use in the future.”

There are between 50 and 55 million taps in use in North America, Gaudette said.

Both Leader and Progressive Plastics are in hiring mode despite the recession, leadership at both companies said, and both anticipate the

new spout will add further to their need to bring on new staff.

The check valve technology was developed by Timothy Perkins, director of the Proctor Maple Research Center. It employs a valve, a small ball that rolls back and forth in a chamber within the spout , to block the flow back into the tree of sap containing bacteria. All tapped maple trees pull sap back into their tap holes, as they try to balance the negative pressure established both by natural process

and by vacuum systems, which are pervasive in the industry. Bacterial backflow in turn causes the tree’s natural defense system to wall off the contaminated area of the tap hole, essentially plugging it and ending a sugar-maker ’s season. Such walling off typically occurs late in the season.

By allowing the tree’s sap to continue to flow, the new spout will extend the sugarmaking season by one-and-ahalf to two-and-a-half weeks, according to testing conduct-

ed by the Proctor and confirmed by Leader ’s field testing. The sugaring season is typically four weeks long.

The tap could also mitigate the effect of global warming

on the Vermont maple industry. Warming has shortened the Vermont maple season by 10 percent over the last 40 years, according to research conducted by Perkins.

An innovative new maple spout developed by the University of Vermont’s Proctor Maple Research Center with taxpayer funding secured by U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D) will have a dramatic impact on maple syrup production and boost job creation and economic development in the state, the senator announced at a press conference last week.

The new spout will increase sap yields by 50 to 90 percent per tree.

The announcement was made at Progressive Plastics in Williamstown, Mass., which began commercial production of the device, called a check valve spout, the day of the press conference. Progressive Plastics is manufacturing the spout for Leader Evaporating Company of Swanton, which licensed the technology from UVM and will market and sell it.

Two new UVM appropriations support maple research at UVM’s Proctor Center: $188,000 to fund research by the Proctor to further increase sap yields and $188,000 to develop a non-toxic wood adhesive.

Although Leader has not yet listed the spout in its catalog or on its web site, the company has already received 1 million advance orders. Leader is projecting sales of three million units this maple season, making the spout its number one selling product. In the future, sales could be significantly higher.

According to Gary Gaudette, president of Leader Evaporator, the check valve spout could have a rev-

Feet, don’t fail me now

I

’ve been all over you for 48 years, or let us say 47—give or take a month—and you’ve not for one day been sore, broken, cramped, crippled, or clubbed; You haven’t really even stunk. You’re also not calloused.

You two blessed dogs have performed way out above and beyond the call of duty. I’d just like to say you’re amazing feet, and I’ve noticed.

You support me. You lead me. You clear the way and cushion my journey. You get stepped on. You hang off motel beds. You fit perfectly into the trite expression: “Feet don’t fail me now.” You are integral to the operation of my vehicle. You don’t slip in the tub or on wet rocks. You are like hands, but you are feet. You are awesome.

Sitting positioned high in an office chair looking down at the two of you, bare, barely touching the ground, I’m interested by how simple and ineffectual you look, yet how intricate and efficiently designed you are. The gang down at NASA have nothing on you feet.

I see veins, blue ones mostly, but some are purple. The ultra thin delicate veins are blood red. I see cord-like bungyish things at the bottom of my leg that fan out flowingly, one to a toe. I see knuckle joints, and nails. Underneath you I see one more cord-like thing spanning your arch from heel to the pad beneath the big toe. These foot apparatus I see allow you to tilt, swivel, bend, twist, and flex, like no other part of my body can. And so if I may, I’d like to apologize for not yet having congratulated you on how marvelously and efficiently you operate.

Here’s to ya feet.

Here’s to the sound of summer that is the “smack,” you two make upon hitting the water when jumping from a high granite ledge into a cool Vermont swimming hole.

Here’s to petting my cat with you. Here’s to soft socks; What good are they if you’re not in them? Here’s to you being bare while walking during summer on wood floors tacky with humidity; Or on the same floor during chilly fall mornings; Or on wintertime wood floors warmed by radiant heat. Here’s to wishing the masseuse would cut the time she spends rubbing on my thighs by half, and add it to the time she spends rubbin' on you.

Right now while I’m typing, my legs are up on the desk (don’t ask), left leg under, and my right foot, pinkie toe down, is resting between the left foot big toe and the toe to the left of the big toe which is actually bigger than the big toe, but doesn’t have a name so I’ll call it the pointer toe because that’s what you’d call it if you figure the big toe is the thumb of the foot. I rest my foot between my big toe and the pointer toe because it’s a perfect fit, and it feels good, but I wouldn’t be caught dead in flip-flops. Call me crazy, but I don’t want to feel rubber rubbin' between my toes. I also don’t ever in my entire life want someone to know I’m within their vicinity because they’re hearing a flip-flop, flip-flop sound.

I wonder. The three toes between the big toe and pinkie

Water on the Moon W

hile most astronomy textbooks since the 1960s report that the Moon is bone dry, there is some recent evidence that may force future revisions.

Last year, a team of researchers led by Alberto Saal of Brown University and Erik Hauri of the Carnegie Institution reexamined small, green volcanic glass beads collected by Apollo astronauts back in 1971 and 1972.

Using a new, advanced microprobe technique, the researchers were astonished to discover that the extraterrestrial glass beads contained as much as 46 parts per million of lunar water. That’s far more water than anyone ever imagined could be locked up inside “bone dry” moonrocks. When Saal and Hauri extrapolated the calculations back in time, they found that the Moon’s interior may have held as much as 750 ppm of water.

“This suggests the very intriguing possibility that the Moon's interior might have contained just as much water as the Earth’s mantle,” Hauri told reporters last year.

Clues left by the glass beads have cast a shadow on the current, popular explanation for lunar origin, the so-called Big Whack Theory.

According to this theory, the early Earth was smacked by a Mars-sized protoplanet 4.5 billion years ago; the event spewed a vast ring of molten crust into space that quickly coalesced, in orbit, to form the Moon.

And here’s the rub: a Big Whack impact would have vaporized volatile materials—especially water. Yet the glassbead game played by Saal and Hauri reveals that lots more water was left behind after the Moon formed.

The discovery of “hidden” water in lunar glass calls to mind a discarded theory proposed by the late J.J. Gilvarry back in the 1950s. Gilvarry was an astrophysicist with the National Academy of Sciences and the RAND Corporation.

He calculated that the Moon, with a heritage clearly linked to Earth, would have outgassed enough water to fill seas to a depth of 2 km (1.2 miles). The idea of a primordial wet Moon was popular in the early 20th century. But at the dawn of the Space Age, Gilvarry was one of the few wet-Moon holdouts.

Gilvarry’s calculations regarding the behavior of water and atmospheric gases on the Moon were made with great care— they were based upon Sir James Jeans’ calculations of the amount of time it takes a planet’s atmosphere to escape into space.

Gilvarry demonstrated that our natural satellite could have supported an Earthlike atmosphere and surface water for millions of years—that’s short by Earth’s atmospheric and hydrospheric timeline, but still long enough to be interesting.

When astronomers today say the Moon is too small to have supported either an atmosphere or liquid water, they may need to review the math. According to Gilvarry’s data, our

Where Scarsdale goes, will Cornwall follow?

F

or more than a century now, American city-dwellers who could afford to flee to suburbs and exurbs have done so. Long before the rise of the inter-urban trolley systems in the late 19th century, the upper-income quintiles had enjoyed summer places, but light rail lines, such as those from Rutland to the Castleton lakes, were the first to open the options to the middle classes as well.

Commuter superhighways like the Long Island Motor Parkway were in place seven years before WWI, and interurban trackage, zero in 1880, peaked at 16,000 just after WWI, as private automobiles took over the task of residential removal, and the trolleys began to lose ridership soon after. At first, the urban exodus enjoyed academic approval: Ebenezer Howard wrote “Garden Cities” in 1898.

Such innovative suburbs as Radburn N.J., and Forest Hill Gardens, N.Y., were fashionable destinations going into the Great Depression, and as late as the post-WWII decades Levittowns in the US and green-belt “estates” in the U.K. were applauded by most urban planners, then a brand-new discipline.

Not any more; now, writers like Yale’s Douglas Rae (describing New Haven’s 19th century rise and 20th century decline) deplore “the end of urbanism” and today’s planners make much of Yonkers, N.Y., converting (with subsidy money, of course) former Hudson-River-frontage industrial acreage to young-urban-professional high-rise co-operative and rental apartments. Now, the label is “white flight” (even though the black middle class has similarly fled downtown Detroit and Atlanta) and suburbs like N.Y.’s Scarsdale and Kansas’ Overland Park are labeled “segregated” because their minority populations are less than national averages. Now, Washington proposes an-offer-municipalities-can’t-reject to fix all that.

A lengthy Wall Street Journal article described the initiative early last week–the sub-head reads “…Sending Warning to Local Governments that get Federal Aid” and late last week the New York Times followed up with a description of Washington’s success in imposing a similar requirement on Yonkers starting in 1980, demanding not only more mandatory housing for low-income minorities but more public school integration as well. As the WSJ wrote but the NYT did not, the new low-income minority target population levels are at least 3 percent black and 7 percent Hispanic. Neither Scarsdale nor Overland Park would pass, nor would a single one of the 251 towns and cities in Vermont.

N.Y.’s Westchester County has just surrendered, signing on to build 630 housing units in places (like Scarsdale and the Clinton pied-a-terre Chappaqua) which don’t presently

WEDNESDAY August 26, 2009 Moon, a dwarf planet of sorts, could have retained an appreciable atmosphere long enough for it to act as a “lid” on surface water.

An intriguing footnote: Gilvarry employed Baldwin’s curve of crater depth-diameter values alongside U.S. Atomic Energy Commission crater data gleaned from the “Ivy Mike” fusion-device test in the Marshall Islands in 1952. Why? Well, while most of the Moon’s highland craters fit Baldwin’s depth-diameter curve for impact craters formed on land, the shallow slope lunar maria (the so-called “lunar seas”) matched Baldwin’s depth-diameter curve of a typical impact crater formed in deep water. According to Gilvarry, the maria profiles looked a lot like the underwater crater that marks ground zero of the “Ivy Mike” shot. (The explosion vaporized the Marshall Islands atoll of Elugelab and left behind a 6,240 feet wide submarine crater.)

Gilvarry might have relished the irony of demonstrating that Galileo’s misnamed “lunar seas” may actually have been formed in ancient lunar seas.

All that aside, there’s no hard proof that the ancient Moon had an extensive hydrosphere as Gilvarry proposed. Yet, Saal’s and Hauri’s water-rich Apollo glass beads may prompt a few scientists to revisit a long lost lunar theory of the 1950s that went out of fashion alongside Detroit’s auto mobile tailfins.

meet the diversity standard.

In the 1970s, the Pennsylvania suburb of Mt. Laurel managed to meet its requirement by building in nearby Camden NJ, but such evasion and avoidance won’t be tolerated any more.

The NYT article mentions some of the failures of the Yonkers school initiative, but none of the overall history, nor even the precedentsetting 1977 court-ordered Kansas City school integration campaign which triggered unprecedented bussing, “magnet-facilities” construction, tax increases, and then white flight out of Kansas City to Overland Park, but there’s an enlightening discussion of the Yonkers experience regarding “white flight” in Raymond Wolter ’s 1996 book, “Right Turn”. In 1970, before the Federal housing and school initiatives started, Yonkers had 204,000 citizens and a range of industry including Otis Elevator. Minority population was about at the national average at 12 percent. Population bottomed at 188,000 in 1990, and is now up to 199,000; with more minority in-migration, that percentage is now 43. Wolter ’s focus is the schools; here are two quotes from Chapter 18, page 382: both discuss the specific factors triggering white flight, which, he argues, are more behavioral- than race-based.

The first recites statistics to illustrate that there was “…much more flight if the test scores of the [incoming] black students were especially low, or if the blacks came from the so-called underclass…’ and the second related flight to “…certain types of [incoming] black students, students who were academically slow, physically intimidating, or so disruptive that teachers had to devote more time to discipline than to instruction” .

These are behavioral rather than ethnic characteristics, and they’re just the sort that the Burlington school administration plans to distribute widely through all its buildings rather than just a couple, through an initiative called “socio-economic status integration”.

Wherever they’ve been ordered into place by the Feds, on pain of loss of Federal funds, they’ve caused middle-class flight, both white and black, simply because there are wellknown underclass behaviors which middle-class parents don’t want their own kids “sharing” in pursuit of diversity.

I’d guess that when ordered on Scarsdale and then, maybe, on Cornwall and Weybridge, they’ll produce the same result.

There is an alternative, pioneered by little Hillsdale College in the 1970s: decline the Federal funds and run your operation as you wish. The Hillsdale Paradigm may yet see wider application.

Kathy Hutson at Poultney Food Shelf said that two boxes are located near the entrance doors of the Food Shelf in the Stonebridge lobby area near the Chamber of Commerce desk. One box is for food-stuff coupons and one for non food-stuff coupons.

The volunteers will appreciate receipt of clipped coupons when possible and please check the expiration dates on the coupons.

Poultney Food Shelf is open Tuesdays, 3-5 p.m., by appointment and by emergency or call 287-9558.

The Food Shelf lobby area and the Chamber of Commerce are open Monday through Sundays when the open sign is up on the Stonebridge porch; most weekdays it opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 2 p.m. and weekends it opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 3 p.m. The Town of Poultney's Stonebridge on Beaman Street is Poultney is the beautiful historic white house overlooking the intersection of Routes 30 and 140 with Main, East Main and Grove Streets in Poultney village.

ENCHANTING— New Age-songwriter Kellianna will demonstrate the art of chanting at a special event marking the autumnal equinox. The event will be held at the Pyramid Holistic Wellness Center in downtown Rutland Sept. 22. Kelliana is experienced in the art of ritual chant and uses songs “to move energy, to celebrate the ancient mysteries, and to strengthen intention.”

Logger toe don’t have common names to the general public. They have names doctors know, but what the heck? Should we call that toe left and right of the big toe, that’s most often bigger than the big toe, the pointer toe? I can tell you I’ve never pointed with either of mine. I believe a time or two I’ve made my entire foot into a pointer, a sort of ballerina on point type foot, and pointed with it, and in so doing looked foolishly feminine, but I haven’t singled out the big toe next to the big toe as a pointer toe, per say.

And what to call the toe to the left on the left foot and to the right on the right foot, of the pointer toe? The footbird-giving toe? You could call it the middle toe, cause middle is how we describe the alike positioned finger on the hand, but that’s only because the middle finger has the caveat of being the bird-giving finger. If the middle finger wasn’t the bird giving finger, maybe it too, like it’s cousins the six toes between the big and pinkie toes, would be without a name.

Then there’s that poor bastard toe between the middle and pinkie toes, what the hell is that toe all about other than just a toe that sometimes breaks for no reason? The ring finger toe? Is that what we should call it? Maybe call it the U.T. toe, for, Unnecessary Toe, cause of the five toes, I’d wager it’s the one we could do best without.

And so feet, though brilliant, I do find you have one downfall; The three toes between the pinkie toe and big toe are, and have as far as I know, always been nameless.

Unless you count lumping them all together and calling them, “Little Piggies,” which I don’t.

I’ll tell you something else about feet...

(But you’ll have to wait until next week. Same bat channel.)

Loyalty Programs Yield Big Pay Days The Coupon Queen

Green Mountain College names residence life director

W

hile it’s exciting to cut your grocery bill significantly with coupons, there are great ways to save on non-food items, too, especially personal care and cleaning products. Many national drugstore chains offer what the retail industry refers to as “loyalty programs” that often feature special deals on items in these categories. These store loyalty programs include coupons for store credit that shoppers receive when they purchase one or more of the promoted products.

So how do these promotions work? Here’s an example.

In my drugstore’s weekly flier, the store advertises that if I buy a certain brand of shampoo for $3.99, I will get a $3 coupon at checkout. This coupon is good for a $3 reduction on any product sold in the store. It’s almost like a gift card. I can use the $3 credit to buy anything I want, it’s not tied to any specific item. These coupons typically bear a statement such as, “Good for $3 off your next purchase.”

However, unlike a gift card, these coupons carry an expiration date, just as a traditional coupon does. This is the “loyalty” part of the program. The drugstore wants you to come back in over the next few weeks and shop again.

Since I will pay $3.99 for the shampoo but will immediately receive $3 back at checkout for use on a future trip, the actual cost of the shampoo to me is just 99 cents. The $3 I spent on the shampoo comes right back to me in the form of store credit – the checkout coupon.

Now, it’s always fun to get money back when you shop.

But the wonderful think about loyalty programs is that you can use coupons on the items involved in these promotions. And, using coupons in conjunction with the loyalty savings often results in big savings to you, the shopper.

With the shampoo example above, let’s add a coupon into the mix. For this brand of shampoo, I had a $2 manufacturer coupon. So, with the coupon my $3.99 bottle of shampoo cost just $1.99. I paid $1.99… and I also received that $3 coupon for my next shopping trip. This deal just became what I like to call a “moneymaker!” When we figure that $3 coupon into the equation, I paid less than $2 for the shampoo and got $3 back. The store paid me $1.01

to take that shampoo home.

You may wonder how often drugstores feature loyalty sales such as this. The answer? Almost every week!

Check the fliers of the large drugstore chains in your area and look for items with text near them indicating that they will “pay you back” a certain dollar amount in coupons for purchasing the item. These kinds of payback deals are

By Jill Cataldo frequent and plentiful.

So what kinds of items are included in these sales? Almost every kind of personal care item you can imagine: toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, razors, shaving products, makeup, even over-the-counter medicines are featured regularly. Household cleaners, air fresheners, laundry and dish detergent are often included in these sales, too. If you use coupons in conjunction with the items involved, you can often get the items in question for less than a dollar, and many times, completely free. Better yet, there are times when the store will be “paying” you to take things home too. And any time the store is paying me to shop, I’m smiling all the way to the checkout lane! © CTW Features

Devil’s Bowl

Tremont gets sixth win WEST HAVEN - Ken Tremont Jr. hasn't officially won the track championship at Devil's Bowl Speedway yet, but the fat lady is definitely warming up backstage.

Tremont held off Todd Stone Sunday night to register his sixth win of the season in the 30-lap 358-modified feature on Judith L. Richards Memorial Night at Devil's Bowl.

The special night is held annually in honor of Judy Richards, the matriarch of the Champlain Valley Racing Association who passed away after a courageous bout with cancer. In addition to a number of giveaways, the night also includes the Red Knights Ride, a benefit for the RRMC Marrow Donor Program.

Frank Hoard Sr., still looking for his first win of the season, set the pace for the first11 laps of the modified feature, but Tremont had the Rifenburgh Construction small block humming and only needed seven laps to get from his eighth starting position to second.

Tremont used a restart on lap 11 to get the lead, and the rest of the field could do nothing more than watch his rear bumper for the rest of the feature. Stone, who started just behind Tremont, moved into second on lap 14, but had to be content with the No. 2 spot,and knows his reign as track champion is just about over.

Vince Quenneville Jr. finished third, with Tim Laduc fourth and Ron Proctor fifth.

The budget sportsman ran 50 laps, but Seth Howe didn't really need the extra distance. After taking the lead midway through the feature, he pulled away from Paul Dunham Jr. to come away with his first win of the season.

The first 20 laps of the feature featured a number of cautions, and almost as many lead changes. Marc Hughes led the first three laps, but Chuck Dickinson, who started on the pole, moved out in front on lap four and held the top spot until lap 16, when D.J. Brundige went out on the point.

After a number of caution laps, Howe, who had started 14th, used a restart on lap 25 to get the lead, and then drove a solid race to get the victory. One of the yellow-flag victims was Brundige, who dropped out on lap 28 Dunham, who started fifth, crossed the finish line second, with Dickinson third. But Dickinson failed to pass inspection following the race, and was disqualified.

That moved Jack Swinton to third, with Frank Hoard III fourth and Derrick McGrew, coming off a Friday night win at AlbanySaratoga Speedway, fifth.

Fred Little outran Carl Vladyka to come away with his third win of the campaign in the 20-lap pro-street stock feature, and Mike Clark rocketed past Joe Ladd with five laps to go and drove to his third win of the year in the 20-lap limited feature.

Nathan Woodworth also made his way to victory lane on Sunday night, winning the mini/duke stock feature.

Devil's Bowl will be back in action on Sunday, Aug. 23, with all divisions competing on Salute to Veterans Night, Racing will begin at 6:45 p.m.

The Vermont Lake Monsters dropped two out of three games last weekend, and continued to slip further back in the New York - Penn League’s Stedlar Division. As of this past Monday the Lake Monsters were 28-33, in third place, seven games off the pace with just six games left in their season.

In the final game of a six game home stand Chase Austin blasted a two-run triple in the top of the 10th inning to leaad the Jamestown Jammers to a come-from-behind 10-9 victory over the Vermont Lake Monsters in New York-Penn League action Friday night at historic Centennial Field.

Tied 8-8 with two outs and no one on in the top of the 10th, Vermont reliever Clayton Dill (3-5) walked Austin Markel and Chris Wade reached on a throwing error by third baseman Dani Arias. Austin followed with a line drive triple over the head of rightfielder Yhonson Lopez to plate two unearned runs for the Jammers.

Austin was 2-for-5 with two runs, three RBI and hit his third home run of the season. Carlos Paulino was 3-for-5 with two runs, two doubles and one RBI for the Jammers, while Zach Moore was 2-for-4 with a run, double and RBI. AJ Ramos (2-2) pitched the final two innings for his second win.

Vermont out hit Jamestown 14-13 with five different Lake Monsters collecting two hits. Ronnie LaBrie was 2-for-4 with two runs and his fifth triple, while Sean Nicol and J.P Ramirez both had two hits along with two RBI. J.J. Sferra was 1-for-2 with two walks and three runs scored for Vermont (27-32), which finished with a 3-3 record on the six-game home stand.

Vermont then hit the road for a scheduled three game series with the Tri-City Valley Cats to be played in two But due to rain the teams couldn’t get in a double header on either day, so the series became a two game affair, which the teams split.

Too stupid to fix it?

Are Americans failing basic mechanical literacy?

52117

Are today’s young people mechanically illiterate?

As some 5,000 recent high school graduates in Vermont prepare to go off to college, it’s not an academic question. When their bikes break, toilets clog or cars act up, will they have the ability to put things right?

Not necessarily, according to author Steve Elliott, who witnessed numerous acts of mechanical illiteracy in his own kids and their roommates during their college years. “I realized something was going on my daughter’s sophomore year when she called home because her key wouldn’t work,” Elliott said. “I told her to spray some WD-40 in the lock, and her response was, ‘What’s WD-40?’ She’s a smart young woman, but I knew right then that she wasn’t mechanically prepared to be out on her own.”

And it’s not just her. Nationwide, about two million new college freshmen are entering a world many of them haven’t been prepared for. “Academic requirements are tougher today than ever before, especially for kids planning on college,” Elliott explained “So that doesn’t leave time to take wood shop or auto shop. And today most kids have parents who work at desks in offices, so they’re less likely to learn mechanical basics at home, either.”

But the biggest culprit for what Elliott calls Mechanical Deficit Disorder is an ironic one: better-built products.

“Things used to break and we expected them to break,” Elliott said. “Cars had points that had to be re-gapped, TVs had tubes that had to be replaced. You knew they’d eventually stop working and you’d have to fix them. Today, that’s not the case. Young people simply don’t expect things to break, so they’re not prepared when they do.”

To fill the mechanical education gap for his own kids, Elliott wrote The Portable Dad: Fix-it Advice for When Dad’s Not Around. The how-to book is aimed at college students and 20somethings (or anyone else who never had the chance to learn basic repair skills) and filled with practical advice on how to maintain and fix cars, computers, bicycles and apartments. It also has chapters on moving, painting, and taking care of a yard.

Rutland County area adults have been approached by a scammer trying to pass off fake checks and several people have become victims of the scam with an average loss of $3,000 to $4,000, according to the Better Business Bureau of New England.

Scams involving fake checks typically require the victim to deposit a check into their bank account then wire money back to the scammers. While the check may initially be deposited into the victim’s bank account—leading to a false sense of security—the fake check will ultimately be discovered within a couple weeks and the bank will take the funds out of the account. The victim of the scam is out whatever money they sent to the scammers and will be responsible for paying the bank back if their account is overdrawn.

Following are three common scams that rely on fake checks and can cost victims tens of thousands of dollars: •Lottery and Government Grant Scam: Victims receive a letter claiming they’ve won a lottery or qualify for a financial assistance grant. Included with the letter is a check for at least a partial amount of the total money they have coming to them. The victim is told that, in order to receive the rest of the money, they are to deposit the check and wire back as much as several thousand dollars. The victim is often told this is to cover taxes or administrative fees. In June, a Nebraska woman lost $58,000 after being told she’d won $11 million in the Jamaica Lottery.

•Mystery Shopping Scam: The victim believes that they are going to earn a few hundred dollars by working for a company that provides mystery—or secret—shopping evaluations for businesses. The victim receives a letter in the mail along with evaluation forms, a check and detailed instructions. The victim is to deposit the check into their bank account, and then use the money to purchase items from specified stores and evaluate the customer service the rest of the money is theirs to keep for the work they did. Included in the list of stores to evaluate is Western Union or MoneyGram and the victim is told to wire as much as a couple thousand dollars back to their “employer” and rate their experience with the money wiring service.

Overpayment Scam: The victim is selling an item through a newspaper classified or an online site such as Craigslist. A buyer shows interest and asks to pay for the item by check. When the check arrives the amount is higher than the price of the item. The victim is told that it was a mistake and is sometimes asked to wire the extra back or that the extra cost is for the victim to wire payment to a shipping company that the scammer has chosen—of course the supposed shipping company is actually the scammers.

Fake check scams aren’t limited to the schemes already mentioned and BBB offers the following red flags to look out for: You’re told you won a lottery or received a grant you didn’t apply for.

The name on the check does not match the name of the company or individual you’re supposedly dealing with.

You’re given instructions to deposit a check into your account and promptly wire part of those funds back to the sender or to another specified company or contact.

Don’t be fooled by a phone call. Just because you’ve spoken to the scammer over the phone, it doesn’t mean they’re not trying to rip you off.
