From New Market Press Staff & News Reports Despite years of warning signs about voter fraud, embezzlement and other potentially criminal behavior by and within ACORN—the Association for Community Organizing and Reform Now—only a handful of state attorneys general apparently didn’t need to be embarrassed by recent alternative media reporting and videos before taking some action against the liberal ACORN organization. Most state attorneys general have sat by idly, perhaps for political reasons with a trail quite probably leading to Washington some say, while ACORN has been busy racking up unchecked legal offenses. “State attorneys general long ago should have investigated ACORN, and enforced various state laws against it,” said Mark Fitzgibbons, president of Corporate and Legal Affairs of American Target Advertising. Fitzgibbons is a vocal opponent of ACORN. “State attorneys general claim to have unique regulatory and enforcement authority over nonprofit organizations. Along with other state charitable oversight officials that require nonprofits to file information purportedly to prevent violations of law, state attorneys general have unique access to information that could have been used to take action against ACORN. Were they asleep, derelict in their duty, or worse?” A question was posed by Fitzgibbons in a recent news release about ACORN’s alleged offenses: “...Was failure to act the result of direct and indirect political support of politicians by ACORN, its direct affiliates, and its indirect affiliates such as the Service Employees International Union?” The ACORN Financial Justice Center graded state attorneys general in 2008 on their work in the home foreclosure

Pot plants destroyed MT. HOLLY — Vermont State Police troopers recently responded to a remote area off the railroad tracks in Mount Tabor after a citizen called reporting a possible marijuana growing site. Upon arrival to the area, troopers located 15 mature marijuana plants being cultivated at that location. The plants were removed and destroyed. If anyone has information regarding this marijuana grow, or other possible cultivation sites, they are asked to contact Senior Trooper Adam Boynton at the Rutland barracks, 7739101.

The Boys & Girls Club of Rutland County was the recipient of a gift from Citizens Bank. The club received a donation of 40 backpacks full of back-to-school supplies to its young members. Club members in grades one through 12 are now better prepared for class with donated folders, pens, pencils, notebooks, keychains, and more. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Rutland County have three clubhouses—clubs are located on Merchants Row, in the Forest Park community center, and a new location in Brandon. “Each day, over 100 young people benefit from the club’s after-school programming in Rutland County. A vital component to the success of kids who belong is community support, especially from local businesses like Citizens Bank. These businesses continually show their support for non profits like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rutland County,” said Brooke Nuckles, the club’s coordinator.
Gov. declares September ‘Morgan Horse Month’ Gov. Jim Douglas has proclaimed September to be “Morgan Horse Month” in Vermont, celebrating the famous breed that is Vermont’s State Animal. “I am glad to proclaim this month in honor of this magnificent animal on the centennial anniversary of the founding of the American Morgan Horse Association,” Governor Douglas said. “It’s fitting to honor our State Animal days before the historic recreation of the 1796 race between the breed’s founding stallion and two New York horses.” Figure, the founding stallion of the Morgan breed, was born in southern New England in 1789 and was later owned by Justin Morgan, a teacher, composer, businessman, and horseman who lived in Vermont. Figure’s compact, muscular body and stylish gait became widely admired, and his reputation for strength, speed, endurance, and the ability to produce sons and daughters bearing his likeness spread throughout New England. His stud services were offered throughout the region and over his 32-year lifespan he became known as “the Justin Morgan Horse.” In 1796 he apparently became the

property of Jonathan Shepard. That same year Figure was raced against two New York horses, which he defeated handily. The stretch of road where the race took place has forever been known as the Morgan Mile. And on Sept. 12, trotting races were held to commemorate the event. “In addition to the ‘Morgan Mile’ races, the Association and the National Museum of the Morgan Horse will be
hosting several parties to celebrate the centennial, including receptions at the Morgan Grand National and World Championship Horse Show and at the National Museum of the Morgan Horse,” said Julie Broadway, Executive Director of the American Morgan Horse Association. “We hope everyone will join the staff and Board of Directors on Friday, Nov. 6 in Shelburne for

Enraged driver restrained MT. HOLLY — On Sept. 16, at approximately 6:07 p.m., Vermont State Police conducted a motor vehicle stop on a black Honda Civic on Route 103 in Mt. Holly, for traveling 87 MPH in a posted 50 MPH zone. Upon approaching the vehicle, the operator was identified as Jesse Holden of Ludlow. Holden was informed of the criminal violation and soon placed under arrest. While seated in the patrol car, Holden became enraged and kicked the vehicle’s in car camera several times. Holden was then escorted to a patrol car with a cage; however, he refused to walk and resisted the troopers. Holden was then physically carried and placed into the patrol car and then transported to the Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks. Holden was later lodged at Marble Valley Correctional Center with bail set at $5,000.

Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets, Maximize the Match: BOGO Plus Two
L
ast week I introduced you to some of the fun ways shoppers can make "Buy one, get one free" (BOGO) sales even more rewarding. Anytime we can buy one item and get another free, we're essentially buying two at half price each. So how do we make a half-off sale even better? With coupons, of course! Here's the third "best-kept secret" of couponBy Jill Cataldo ing: Secret #3: Use Two Coupons During a BOGO Sale At most stores, you can use one coupon per purchase. Even though you're buying one item and getting another "free," it's not truly free. You still have to go through the act of "purchasing" it at the register (the store won't allow you to just pick up the "free" jar and take it home, will they?) If you live in an area that collects sales tax on groceries, you must still pay sales tax on the "free" item. So, it's best to think of BOGO sales as buying two for the price of one. As long as you're buying two items, even if one is full-price and one is free, you can use a coupon on each item you're buying. You're buying two items, so you can use two coupons. Here's an example illustrating why this is a great idea. My grocery store has organic pasta sauces on sale for $3, "Buy one, get one free." And even though the register rings them up as $3 for the first jar and $0 for the second, it is still possible for me to present a coupon on each jar for additional savings. For this sale, I have two $1 coupons for the pasta sauce. Using one coupon for each jar I purchase brings my cost down to just $1 for two jars, or 50 cents each! That's a great price for any pasta sauce, especially organic. Now, many grocery stores handle BOGO sales differently. With a sale like the one I outlined above, most stores' registers will ring the sale as one $3 jar and one $0 jar. Other grocery stores may approach the same BOGO sale by ringing up each item at $1.50 each. Either way, you can still use a coupon on each item and get each jar of pasta sauce for 50 cents. Are you ready for a bonus tip? If your store "splits" BOGO prices into half for each item, you only have to buy one of the items to get it for that price! So, if you only had one pasta sauce coupon, you could buy just one jar, get it for the $1.50 price, use a $1 coupon on it, and still take it home for 50 cents. To determine which way your store handles BOGO sales, look at your receipt the next time you buy items promoted in a BOGO sale. If the register rings one at full price and one at zero, you must buy two to receive the price. If it rings each one at half of full price, you will be able to buy just one of the items involved in the sale and receive it for half the price without buying the second item.

Au revoir, Aubuchon
N
ews that a venerable New England hardware store chain closed its downtown Rutland location brings to mind, once again, the just-about-insoluble commercial core problem of mid-size cities: most Americans won’t spend money where they can’t (easily) park. In large cities the apartment-dwelling natives are used to shopping without POVs (privately-owned vehicles) and in small towns beyond New England, there’s usually enough parking around the courthouse square near enough to the facing rows of stores to work reasonably well—but in midsized communities such as Rutland City, it’s impossible to comply with the mandatory math of contemporary urban planning: a square foot of parking for a square foot of retail, without challenging some aspect of the typical 19th century grid-square streets-and-buildings layout. Rutland’s venerable Aubuchon store set-up had, maybe, 3,000 square feet of retail floor space; by the normal rule of commercial site planning, it would need the equivalent of, maybe, ten customer parking spaces (2,000 SF) loading dock and staff parking, (500 SF) and a share of related vehicle lanes (maybe another 500 SF or so). The hardware store’s 40-foot frontage on West Street offered just two parking spaces. Just north along Route 7, the Town of Brandon solved part of its math problem by permitting the demolition of a bunch of historic buildings in order to pave way for a couple of parking and service lots (only as big as the in-town supermarket and drug store they serve). In Middlebury, officials paved part of the Otter Creek flood plain to service the Main Street stores an uphill, block-length distant. In St. Albans, planners decided not to decide—the town has done nothing; not surprisingly, the town still has a “parking problem”. On a larger scale and 3,000 miles away, Los Angeles, Calif., demolished nearly half of its downtown commercial square footage—it’s now the lowest-density major city in the U.S. except for Youngstown and Detroit, for different sets of reasons. The City of Angels has nearly reasonable parking availability. In the case of Johnson City, Tenn., there’s enough downtown vacancies that the streetside parking works fairly well for the remaining goods and services vendors: a Darwinian solution, you might say. Rutland City, conversely, went the other way with no demolition, instead adding a multi-deck downtown parking structure (sadly, now demolished). I haven’t the column-inches to review the parking deck’s historically unsuccessful user reception, but it was placed well over a block-length from Aubuchon’s and all the other storefronts sharing the few parking spaces along West Street. Although some customers might walk more than an equivalent block-length from the edge of a huge parking lot to the mall stores it serves, in the typical shopping layout, they balk at the same level of exercise when needed to patronize stores in a downtown location. And Montpelier went still another way—with urban-

W
hile it’s uncertain if NASA’s bold plan to return humans to the Moon by 2020 will go down in flames (thanks to the nation’s deficit spending on less inspiring things), the space agency continues to take baby steps back to Luna. Extended to its greatest potential, NASA’s Constellation project could potentially jump start America’s lagging technological and industrial might; it would involve the labor of hundreds of thousands of men and women—from college researchers and engineers to office staffers and construction workers—all with a magnificent government-industrial-educational team that’s grander than Project Apollo. And what’s better than a bailout? How about a new world to explore and develop with new technologies not yet imagined. As part of NASA’s first baby steps on the long and uncertain path—a path that leads from cradle Earth, back to the Moon, on to Mars, and beyond—the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, has just started mapping the near and farsides of the Moon from an orbit only 31 miles high. LRO has already collected hundreds of detailed images that now make up the first detailed atlas of the Moon’s south pole. So what’s so important about creating an atlas of the lunar south pole? Well, just like the Moon’s north pole, the south pole is a place that more than likely contains vast deposits of ice left over from the Moon’s primordial watery past. These water ice deposits are buried deep below the lunar regolith (soil) within perpetually shadowed craters. Last week, scientists released LRO’s preliminary stream of images and data. The result shows a healthy spacecraft with a lot of work to do. And if all things go well, LRO will continue its vital lunar mission through 2010. Craig Tooley, NASA’s LRO project manager, said the Moon’s south polar craters are bitterly cold. The bottoms of these remote craters appear to hold immense deposits of “fossil” water ice, hydrogen, and helium-3 the result of ancient outgassing, cometary impacts, and solar wind deposits. “The deposits may have accumulated in these cold-trap regions over billions of years,” Tooley said last week. “If enough of these resources exist to make mining practical, future long-term human missions to the moon potentially could save the considerable expense of hauling water from Earth.” In 1998, NASA’s Lunar Prospector spacecraft confirmed significant amounts of hydrogen at the south pole; the gas deposits are the tell-tale sign of water-ice. LRO’s Diviner instrument has shown that inside the
WEDNESDAY September 23, 2009 perimeter free parking spaces for POVs and free shuttle bus service to and from downtown. That’s a total of four parking-solution options: the Brandon/L.A. downtown demo solution, the St. Albans do-nothing solution, the Rutland downtown parking structure solution, and the Montpelier perimeter-parking-and-shuttle solution. Of the four, I’d opine, Montpelier ’s solution is the most logical; it is most city friendly and very user friendly. Downtown demolition equates to “destroy-the-village-tosave-it”, a notion tried 40 years ago; doing nothing keeps the old buildings, but loses the living; a downtown parking structure exacerbates the urban-center traffic it’s supposed to correct. Getting people out of POVs and away from downtown offers, at least, a chance of a pedestrian friendly urban center where business can be transacted, particularly when the tote-bags aren’t too heavy. As for Rutland’s closes downtown Aubuchon store, and similar extinct downtown enterprises which have fled to more efficient surroundings with less density and more parking, I’d guess that their management folks aren’t swayed by the currently trendy keep-it-downtown (KID) ideology. We admire the photographs of an earlier time—that of our grandparents—and choose to forget that they, or our parents, fled such surroundings as soon as they could. We wax nostalgic over walk-up apartments, streetcars named Desire, brickpaved streets, and frilly Victorian storefronts, which we personally want no part of. We consciously choose not to put our money where our admiration is because contemporary Americans don’t want to live or shop in such difficult to navigate surroundings. In Burlington, the KID ideology trumped operational logic and led to the expansion of a logistically impossible regional hospital complex standing on an already congested site; this forced an even more impossible site plan with a $300 million price tag. It compares poorly indeed to the operational efficiency of a modern Dartmouth-Hitchcock in exurban surroundings (the two-generation-earlier Middlebury example of a much smaller Porter Hospital complex similarly situated), and the mid-20th century Rutland Regional Medical Center hospital decision to abandon downtown for a large site nearby. As for the Rutland Aubuchon’s au revoir: it seems pretty clear to me that the store’s long tenure downtown would best be followed by planning for an equal tenure on a site where customers can easily carry their purchases to their POVs parked out front.

LRO’s camera is dedicated to imaging these permanently shadowed regions while the craft’s Lyman Alpha Mapping Project instrument (LAMP for short), is sniffing for surface ice, even frost. LAMP is so sensitive that it uses starlight and the glow of interplanetary hydrogen emission, to image the perpetually dark polar craters. A 2008 surprise discovery of water residue inside Apollo 17 lunar volcanic glasses hints of a time, in the remote past, when our Moon possessed as much water as the Caribbean Sea.

The Vermont Grocers' Association is a statewide organization representing approximately 700 stores and 245 suppliers to the industry.
Maple sugaring author to speak in Wallingford By Diane Cooney WALLINGFORD—Maple syrup and maple sugar are richly connected to the history of Vermont. In fact, it’s our State’s signature product. Although the all too familial sap buckets and horse drawn sleds have disappeared, the maple industry is very much alive and well in Vermont. The Wallingford Historical Society is proud to announce that the noted author Betty Ann Lockhart will speak about sugaring in Vermont at our next meeting. Come along for a trip through maple time in Vermont, from the 1600s to the mid-twentieth century and hear about the industry and the culture of maple sugar. Betty Ann is the author of the book “Maple Sugarin’ in Vermont: A Sweet History”. Her book was the result of delving into records of the Agency of Agriculture and private materials. Photographs by Don Lockhart illustrate the book, along with images from the University of Vermont archives. At the presentation, she will share some fascinating stories from her book, including tales personally related by Wallingford sugarmaker Truman Young and Wells sugarmaker Wilson (Bill) Clark. Antique tools of the industry also have stories to tell, and some will be available for people to see after the presentation. Through their video production company Perspectives Inc., Betty Ann and Don have produced three video presentations about Vermont maple. Betty Ann and her husband are members of a number of maple organizations, including Rutland County Maple Producers. The talk will be held at the Town Hall on School Street in Wallingford on Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. The event is free. Call 446-2514 for information.
Crack down on school bus violators MENDON—Vermont State Police in Rutland have received an increase of complaints involving motorists passing stopped school buses displaying a red signal lamp. Many of the complaints are occurring on Route 4 in Mendon during early morning travel hours. Motorists are reminded to stop whenever a school bus is stopped and displaying red signal lights. The law requires vehicles traveling in both directions to stop unless the roadway is divided by a median. Troopers said they will be aggressively enforcing the law which is a five-point violation on the operator's license and a $243 fine.

Hole-in-one for MSJ golfer By Kathi Scaralia RUTLAND—It wasn't Bill Van Liew's first hole in one, but it's the one that will pay him $5,000. And that adds up to big money for the math teacher, and multiplied excitement for Green Wave Golf Tournament host Mount Saint Joseph Academy. Van Liew's 135-yard hole in one Friday at the 25th annual golf tournament at the Rutland Country Club occurred on the 15th hole, the hole that was sponsored by Woodard Marine. He also won a promotional vacation package, a 5-day 4-night golf vacation at a Fairmont Resort of his choice. Van Liew, a math teacher for MSJ, was the last of his team to swing at the 15th hole. Other team members included Tyler Sanborn, an MSJ senior and captain of the student Golf Team, Kate Zambon, also a senior, and MSJ’s new Director of Advancement Joel Wincowski. "We couldn't tell at first what happened, until we got to the green," Van Liew recounted. It was then that the team realized that Van Liew's ball was in the hole. "The funny thing is that Tyler hit a beautiful shot just before me that came within 3 inches of the hole,” Van Liew said. Van Liew said markings in the grass showed that Tyler's ball had hit about 4 or 5 inches from the hole, and rolled an inch or two toward it. And, mark-

ings showed that Van Liew's ball landed about a foot past the hole, spun back a foot, "then it just must have scooted right in," Van Liew said. "It was a fun day." It was Van Liew's fourth hole in one in his golfing history, and the second one on that particular hole. Proceeds from the golf outing are
used for scholarships to MSJ, to help assure that all students who wish to attend the school have the opportunity, said Principal Paolo Zancanaro. Zancanaro said he was elated by the news of a winner, and announced it on the school's public address system so the MSJ students and faculty could share in the excitement.
Who’s the best bagger in Vermont? Dawn Tye of Hannaford Supermarket bested other competitors to become the 2009 Vermont “Best Bagger.” The competition took place Sept. 12 during the Vermont Food Industry’s annual convention and expo at the Champlain Valley Exposition. Tye, an employee of Hannaford’s for the past 9 years, won the competition from a field of contestants from supermarkets around the state. Hannford’s Stuart Bird said, “We are very proud of her performance at the competition and look forward to her participation at the nationals.” Her next competition will be in Las Vegas, representing Vermont at the national contest this winter, which is held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the National Grocers Association. Second place honors went to Robyn Spittle of Shaw’s, third went to Melissa Strickland of Price Chopper and fourth to Marcia Piper of Mac’s.

The Green Monster
B
efore anyone gets too excited about my headline, let me make one thing clear: Despite the title, this article has nothing to do with Fenway Park or the Boston Red Sox. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I want to talk about the other Green Monster—the one that’s much more insidious. There are countless things that can cause the Green Monster to make an appearance. And it is usually accompanied by the loudly proclaimed justification: “It’s not fair!” Of course I’m talking about jealousy. Now, I’m not a jealous person. I’m sure none of you are either. But one can’t help questioning the fairness of things every once in a while. How fair is it that my car broke down last weekend? How fair is it I can’t afford the latest iPhone? It’s hard not to feel jealous when it seems others are getting along without a care in the world— making it on their looks or luck—when we’re just barely scraping by. It’s just not fair. It seems that Jesus knows a little something about the green monster, too, second hand, at least. His disciples, wanting assurances that they would have the fancy places in heaven, ask what rewards they will receive for their faithfulness. In response, Jesus tells a story about a landowner and the laborers in his vineyard. The landowner, seemingly desperate to get his harvest in, goes out several times during the day to hire new workers. When pay-time comes, it is soon discovered that those hired at five o’clock in the afternoon are paid just as much as those who had been working since the crack of dawn. The green monster rears its ugly head as the laborers exclaim, “'These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day!” You can almost hear them grumbling among themselves: “Is this any way to run a farm? It’s not fair!” And it’s not fair, is it? At least by the standards of the world. It’s not fair that someone who broke his back from
WEDNESDAY September 23, 2009
sun-up till sun-down gets paid the same as someone who showed up on the scene twenty minutes before quitting time. In the business world the last hired is the first fired, not first in line for a bonus! So it’s no wonder that the hard working laborers want to know what the heck is going on. Yet, as the landowner describes it, he had done nothing wrong. In fact, he paid By Rev. Krista Beth Atwood them exactly what they had agreed upon at the beginning of the day. After pointing this out he asks, “Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?” With that question, he sends them on their way. As far as I can tell we have a God who doesn’t play by our rules. As Jesus tells us, God is like a father who waits for a lost son or a king who invites people from the street to a banquet or a landowner who pays all the same no matter how late they arrived. Are you envious because I am generous? That’s a good question. It’s a question that probably sent the laborers home scratching their heads, their wages heavy in their pockets. If we spend too much time stewing over the grace others have received, we miss that gift for ourselves. The good news is this: Grace doesn’t come in sizes. Some of us don’t get small while others get extra- large. Grace only comes in one size: Just enough. Thanks be to God.

My SWNK lifestyle
A
$500 a month health insurance payment is six grand a year, or $60,000 spent over ten years. Ten years brings me to age 58. Factor my charmed family genetics in with a non-risky lifestyle, and I’m willing to bet by age 58 if I pay cash for all my health care needs, I’ll spend many, many, tens of thousands less then $60,000. That’s why I don’t have health insurance. Stupid? Maybe, but I’ll take the gamble, partly because it’s a challenge, and mostly because I’m SWNK, single with no kids. Had a small Chicklet-size cist removed from the upper part of my right trapezious muscle. I’d noticed it a small bit less than a year ago and bet it was a harmless mass that could stay put through the end of my days. The surgeon at Fletcher Allen backed up my diagnosis, but did also agree that having the cist removed was the best case. The surgeon’s opinion (Consult) cost $90. The surgery cost $1,260, But, I’m uninsured, if you’ll remember, so I was charged only $620 for the surgery. Stunned to hear I’d be getting half-off my all-off cist removal, I asked the billing gal if I had a $200,000 open heart surgery, would I be charged only $100,000? She said she didn’t have that information, but she said, “You certainly could make payments on the cist removal.” Oh boy, more payments. Just what our hopeful economy needs, someone making payments on removal of small spongy masses that don’t really need removal. I was going to sprinkle cat-nip on my stitches, call to my cat, and let her go to town, but I decided to stop in at the local clinic and have them remove the four short runs of thread, for which I was charged, $65. The cist removal, start to finish, cost me $775, or about a month and a half ’s health care payment total for a single dude like myself. Since I have started going without health care insurance, I’m about $29,250 to the good. Back to my half-off deal. What’s up with that? Going in I expected to pay between a grand and a grand and a half, so I’m thrilled with the total tag of $775. Thrilled with the care too. The surgeon and her two person staff were fantastic. All three were chicks! I received a survey from the hospital in the mail today and they can expect a glowing report from me. Course, I loved being worked on by doctors and dentists and nurses. I look at it like it’s the closest I’ll come to being fed grapes, even if it hurts a little to chew em. But still I wonder if I had insurance, where the other half of the removal cost would have gone, the $640 I didn’t have to pay? You wonder? Must be the answer to our wonderment is something Obama is trying to get to the bottom of with his new plan. I wish him and his the best. But really, does anyone know anything about anything of anything to do with the new health care package Barry is promoting with all his heart? I don’t think so. I certainly haven’t read it. I did read in a respected daily paper that if the new health care plan goes through, someone like me who wishes to stay uninsured will be fined between $750 and $950 a year. Don’t know if that’s true, but if it is, I’ll happily pay it and still be way ahead regarding dollars and cents. I stay healthy, I can’t lose. How will you and yours and others be affected if the new plan goes through? I can’t tell you. I can barely keep up with how it’ll all affect me, which is my primary concern, and for which, I apologize. Bottom line on health care in general; Keep yourself as healthy as you’re able, and hope if anything unexpected comes along that cost money to fix, you’ll get half-off.

Raiders: the perfect storm By Frederick Pockette In a game that featured four lead changes and nine turnovers the Rutland Raiders turned an 18-14 halftime deficit into a 28-18 victory over the Mount Anthony Patriots in Division I high school football action last Friday night in Bennington.. The Raiders drew first blood in this one by taking advantage of the first of what would prove to be six Patriot turnovers. An errant snap by MAU sailed into the end zone, where Rutland’s John Norman fell on it for the touchdown. When Tyler Flinn nailed the extra point Rutland held an early 7-0 lead, but it didn’t last long. On the second play of Mount Anthony’s ensuing drive Patriot running back Jason Devens exploded for a 65 yard touchdown jaunt. Flinn blocked the extra point attempt, allowing Rutland to maintain a 1 point lead, 7-6. But that wouldn’t last either. The Patriots took the lead 127 by capitalizing on one of three Raider turnovers. After recovering a fumble on the Rutland 24 Patriots back Mike Rogers turned in a 24-yard touchdown run. Rogers would end the game as the Patriots leading rusher with 84 yards on 12 carries. Mount Anthony would again however take advantage of a costly Raider turnover to take a 18-14 lead at the half. After recovering a fumble at the Raiders 12-yard line Rogers and Owen Ianotti teamed up for a 12-yard touchdown pass
on the last play of the half. That would be the last score for the hometown Patriots as the Raiders defense woupd rise to the occasion and shutout Mount Anthony’s offense the rest of the way. Rutland though would find the end zone two more times. Rutland reclaimed the lead on a 8-yard touchdown pass from Davine to Mike Triller. Then in the fourth quarter with the Patriots driving f or the go ahead score the Raider defense forced a turnover. The Raiders offense then marched down the field and locked up the win with 6:40 left when T.J. Engler fumbled a successful Davine pass into the end zone and fellow Raider David Kraus fell on it for another Rutland touchdown and securing the win. The Raiders had 318 total yards on offense to 314 for Mount Anthony. Rutland, who remained undefeated at 3-0 with the win, are in non-league action this weekend at Foxborough, Mass. MAU, whom fell to 2-1, are in action at home this weekend against the Essex Hornets Meanwhile Cooper Wile scored five touchdowns to lead Burlington to a 49-6 thumping of the Burr and Burton Bulldogs Wile, carried the ball just 8 times to rack up 132 yards, including touchdown jaunts of 27, 8, 53 and 33 yards. He added yet another touchdown on a 29-yard punt return. Quarterback Ryan Velleck connected with Austin Robinson for a 34yard touchdown pass and Sam Alexan-
der scored on a 68-yard run from scrimmage to complete Burlington‘s scoring. MSJ quarterback Johnson Bizon teamed up with Leighton Thayer on an 18-yard touchdown pass for MSJ’s lone score. The Mounties fell to 0-3 with the loss while Burlington improved to 2-1. Minutemen Thrash Mounties Emily Osmer turned in a hat trick while her teammates Rebecca Day and Maureen Taggart pumped in two goals apiece to lead their Mill River Minutemen to a convincing 9-2 victory over Mount St. Joseph Academy last Friday in girls high school soccer action. Ariana Cole and Thomas Tessa tallied single goals to round out the scoring for the Minutemen who remained perfect, improving to 5-0 with the win. Gwen Breslen and Christie Ojala scored for the Mounties. Spartans Spank Lassell 10-3 Kealy Chipman (3 goals) and Courtney Nolan (2 goals) combined to score five goals and lead their Castleton State College to a 10-3 of Lassell College last Saturday in Newton, Massachusetts. Marie Amaral contributed a goal and two assists to the win, while Stephanie Paroski, Molly Fraher and Kayle Mass all chippid in with a goal and an assist apiece. The remaining Spartan goal was provided by Jessica Scott. In the net Castleton goalie Siobhan Whittemore made 10 saves. It was the Spartans first win of the season. After the win they were 1-5 over all, and 1-0 within the North Atlantic Conference.

~Fall Home Improvement 2009~ Avoid common mistakes when the heat goes out ing all night long, it's easy to make a rash decision that could ultimately be a costly mistake in the long run. According to Bill Cunningham, a home comfort specialist with Lennox - a leading manufacturer of heating, cooling and indoor air quality equipment - there are three common mistakes people tend to make when the air stops circulating at home: Mistake No. 1: Thinking you'll save more
38157
money by repairing an old, broken system instead of replacing it. Repairs to an existing heating and cooling may be the least expensive immediate option, but Cunningham says that simply repairing an old system may cost you more in the long run since older systems tend to break down more frequently and consume more energy. Replacement often is a better option, because new heating and cooling systems are much more efficient than those from several years ago and they can save you money, time and headaches in the long run. For example, by replacing an older furnace that is 60 percent efficient with one that is 95 percent efficient, homeowners can save approximately 57 percent on energy bills and up to $5,513 over a five-year period. In addition, new federal tax credits for energy efficient home improvements make buying a new system more affordable than ever. Mistake No. 2: Buying a new system that is too big or too small. "Bigger isn't always better, particularly when it comes to heating and air conditioning equipment," says Cunningham. A correctly sized heating and cooling system is crucial to your comfort and the efficiency of the system. According to Cunningham, an oversized system will cost you more to operate and may actually lower your comfort. In fact, an air conditioner that is too large for the home will cycle on and off more frequently than properly sized units, running up your utility bill, while also leaving rooms cold and clammy. Likewise, if the unit is too small, it will run too often and may be unable to heat or cool your home sufficiently. To help determine the proper size, it's best to enlist the help of a reputable home heat-
ing and cooling contractor. Mistake No. 3: Failing to take into account your long-term needs. When buying a new system, be sure to consider that it is priced within your budget, but don't compromise your comfort level, household energy efficiency or long-term savings by purchasing a system that will not satisfy your needs well into the future. Choosing a new heating or air conditioning system that's right for your home is more than just a matter of comparing the initial purchase price and installation costs. The fuel costs to operate a home comfort system over its lifetime, which can span anywhere from 10 to 20 years, will likely be much more than the initial purchase price. Cunningham says purchasing a new furnace with an efficiency rating of 90 percent or higher, such as the Lennox G71MPP gas furnace, or an air conditioner with a seasonal energy efficiency rating (SEER) of 16 or higher can help offset fuel and operating costs over the long haul. For more tips and advice on maintaining or purchasing a home comfort system, visit Lennox.com or ItPaysToLiveSmart.com..

~Fall Home Improvement 2009~ Easy bath improvements for the not-so-handy Tired of your boring bathroom, but don't think you have the home improvement skills to update it? Stop doubting yourself and make some quick and easy changes that will dramatically improve the look and functionality of your bath, all without calling a contractor.
Masterpiece mirrors Occupying a majority of wall space in most baths, plate-glass mirrors are functional, yet not very aesthetically pleasing. To solve this problem, add easy-to-install mirror frames, such as Mirrorscapes by Moen, which are available in five different styles and a variety of finishes to beautifully coordinate in your bath. All you need for this project is a measuring tape, marker, a saw and about 30 minutes. Mirrorscapes proprietary installation system makes transforming a plate-glass mirror quick, easy and secure. Installation templates perfectly position the mounting brackets, ensuring proper alignment of the frame straights and decorative corners. No angled miter cuts are necessary. "The system is nearly error-proof," says Tim Bitterman, group product manager for Creative Specialties International. "The template pieces ensure perfect alignment, while the decorative corner frame pieces cover straight-end frame pieces - to disguise most cutting errors."
Pretty painting Adding color can dramatically transform any room, and luckily painting is an extremely simple project. However, success lies in the initial preparation and tools you use to get the job done. Before you even open a can of paint, be
sure to repair any holes or cracks, wash the walls, tape off trim and windows and cover furniture and floors with canvas or plastic drop cloths. Next, be sure you have a quality paint brush and roller cover - as cheap options can lose bristles, shed or spread paint unevenly. Finally, choose a quality latex paint, such as Dutch Boy, in your favorite color and start painting. By using preparatory steps and products like the pros, you'll ensure your end results will look like you hired a costly professional.
Admirable accessories Since your paper holder, tank lever or towel bars in the bath are functional, you may have never thought about replacing them. However, this simple project takes minutes, requires no special tools, and new updated styles and finishes can greatly enhance the look and functionality of your bath. Start by choosing accessories that coordinate with the other finishes in your bath. Manufacturers, such as Moen, offer a variety of styles that perfectly match or coordinate with the style and finish of your faucet. To keep towels off the floor and clutter off the countertops, add unique accessories, such as a double towel bar or glass shelf. To entice you to change the paper, update your springloaded paper holder with a pivoting paper holder. Finally, add a distinctive touch with a perfectly coordinating decorative tank lever. Each of these accessories installs in minutes. Just screw the mounting hardware into the wall and lock the decorative accessory into place. Toilet tank levers are equally as easy - no need to turn off the water or drain the tank.
Stylish safety With its wet and hard surfaces, the bathroom is a danger zone for slips and falls. Luckily, grab bars, an ideal way to prevent falls, are now easy to install and stylish too. Like accessories, choose a grab bar in a finish and style that coordinates with your bath. Moen's SecureMount Grab Bars are available in a variety of styles, finishes and lengths and feature an exclusive installation system that will give even a novice DIYer
Pick U p & D elivery Ava ila ble
peace of mind. Simply drill a hole in the location you would like the grab bar (no need to find a stud); install the SecureMount Anchor into the hole, screw on the mounting hardware and attach the grab bar.

As you button up your home for winter, you should take four important steps to ensure you save energy, money and stay toasty all season long. Insulate When the temperature drops, we often grab a blanket to help stay warm. Adding insulation to your home is like wrapping it in a warm blanket. Insulating areas such as attics, basements and crawlspaces can make your home more comfortable and lower your energy bills. To get the biggest bang for your buck, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, add insulation to your attic. If your insulation is at or below the floor joists, you likely need to add more - 12 to 24 inches, depending on where you live. Seal your windows Even if windows are sealed with weather stripping, cold air can still enter through gaps. Use silicone caulk to seal air leaks or place shrink-wrap film over drafty windows to help reduce energy loss. You can locate drafts on windy days by slowly moving a burning candle near the window. Whenever the flame moves or smoke blows, you've got an air leak that needs to be sealed. Have your furnace inspected and clean your HVAC system As you close up your home for the cold season, the contaminates that are in your air ducts and furnace recirculate through your home over and over throughout the entire winter. Your HVAC system can collect everything from mold, fungi and bacteria to tiny dust particles and allergens that can cause irritation to everyone in the house. In fact, according to the EPA, indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. "Having your HVAC system inspected and cleaned can extend the life of your furnace and can even make it run considerably more efficiently, saving the homeowner money on their
monthly heating and cooling bills" says Aaron Marshbanks, board member at NADCA - The HVAC Inspection, Maintenance & Restoration Association. "Having your system cleaned can also increase air flow which often times translates into increased comfort for occupants in the home." Change filters regularly Once you have a clean HVAC system, it's crucial to change your furnace filters regularly. Filters are designed to remove the dust and debris from the air flowing into your home. When the filter is dirty, the furnace has to work harder to pull air through the clogged filter and your utility bills will be higher. Change your furnace filter once a month to keep your system running at peak performance. For more information on how to winterize your home, visit NADCA.com. Courtesy of ARAconten

Have a warmer winter with more money in your wallet Winter's chill is supposed to take place outdoors, but too often drafty attics, fireplaces, windows and open vents let cold air in. This wastes energy and can cost you big money in higher energy bills. What can you do about drafts from the four largest "holes" in your home -- the folding attic stair, the whole house fan, the fireplace and the clothes dryer?
Attic stairs Add an insulated attic stair cover. An attic stair cover seals the stairs, stopping drafts and energy loss.
Whole house fans and air conditioning vents Install a whole house fan shutter seal. Made from flexible insulation, the shutter seal is installed over the ceiling shutter, secured with Velcro, and trimmed to fit.
Fireplaces Add a Fireplace Plug to your fireplace. Available from Battic Door, the Fireplace Plug is an inflatable pillow that seals the fireplace damper, eliminating drafts, odors, and noise.
Clothes dryer exhaust ducts Adding a dryer vent seal is a quick solution to reduce unwanted drafts. The vent will remain closed unless the dryer is in use. When the dryer is in use, a floating shuttle rises to allow warm air, lint and moisture to escape. For more information on Battic Door's energy conservation products visit www.batticdoor.com.

Open Letter to Sens. Sanders & Leahy To the editor: I am absolutely horrified that you, my U.S. senators, are among the seven members of Congress that did not vote to cut off funds for the corrupt organization ACORN. This is nothing short of an organized crime ring that has been operating with public funds for years. I understand President Obama has deep ties to these thugs, and also to SEUI. Are you afraid or are you complicit? People are waking up to the stunning level of corruption in Washington. What do you have to say? I want an answer that I will share with my entire email chain. Thank you. Alice Dubenetsky Starksboro
Culture of Corruption To the editor: After years of hearing about the Republican Party’s “Culture of Corruption” from the Democrat Party, we now have one of the most corrupt White Houses and Congresses in recent memory—and it’s all Democratic. From deep associations with ACORN, the allegedly criminal group that has tampered with U.S. elections, census, and tax laws—most recently, helping two undercover journalists set up a brothel in order to smuggle-in underage, illegal immigrant prostitutes—to black racists (Van Jones) and race-baters (Nancy Pelosi), the Obama administration and the Congressional majority is a mere 8 months in standing and already the corruption cesspool is brimming over. Leftists may smear good people like us as “racists” (rooting out true racism has now been compromised thanks to the cynical shenanigans of hit-and-run leftists), but sooner or later they will be forced to face the truth; the anti-Obama people you malign as “racists” are, in fact, simple God-fearing Americans—from many ethnic and racial backgrounds—who are alarmed about our nation’s dangerous turn in direction, under what author Jack London called the “iron heel” of socialism. Also, shame on Vermont’s two U.S. senators who continue to support ACORN after recent revelations. ACORN has spent thousands of dollars (much of it from We the People) to support the campaigns of Leahy and Sanders in Vermont. But let’s not forget Leahy and Sanders on election day— let’s vote them out of office, forever! Dean & Marge Anthony Brandon Editor’s reply: Both letter writers express anger over last week’s Senate vote over the ACORN debale. U.S. Sens. Leahy and Sanders have done many good things for Vermont, so it is difficult to fathom why they voted against the Senate’s move to stop federal funding of the controversial organization. No matter—regarding ACORN, this newspaper has refused to publish the organization’s local news releases and calendar of events items since 2008 when we were alerted about its questionable activities. ACORN’s alleged criminal activity has been widely rumored since 2007, although nothing has been done to officially look into it at a high level until this month. ACORN has been active in Vermont politics at a grassroots level for some time.That’s why this newspaper has encouraged the Vermont Attorney General to investigate ACORN’s “community organizing” work here. Unfortunately, ACORN has been closely linked to the majority political party in Vermont (and elsewhere). Still, we hope all involved will set aside partisanship and do the right thing when it comes to rooting out criminal behavior, election tampering, and corruption.The ACORN scandal appears to be the tip of a very big, and very dirty iceberg.

Horses From page 1 this wonderful occasion,” Broadway added. In 1909, 57 Morgan horse enthusiasts joined together to officially establish the American Morgan Horse Club, which became the American Morgan Horse Association Inc. in 1941. AMHA is a non-profit group headquartered in Shelburne, which is also host to the National Museum of the Morgan Horse. In 1961, the Vermont Legislature designated the Morgan horse the official state animal. According to Broadway, there are roughly 50 farms raising Morgan horses in Vermont, including the historic UVM Morgan Horse Farm in Weybridge. There are about 3,300 Morgans in Vermont and a national population of about 95,000.

ACORN From page 1 crisis, which some believe ACORN-supported policies helped create. Basing its grades on factors, including endorsing U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd and other federal Democrat legislation—and using taxpayer funds to train pro bono lawyers—ACORN gave grades of A+ only to Democratic attorneys general; no Republicans appear on the ACORN list. The list of ACORN's A+ attorneys general by state: Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut), Martha Coakely (Massachusetts), Andrew Cuomo (New York), Lisa Madigan (Illinois), Tom Miller (Iowa), and Lori Swanson (Minnesota). Vermont Attorney General Sorrel, a Democrat, received a grade of F on ACORN’s list. “Perhaps its time to investigate and review why so many state attorneys general failed to act, or act sooner, against
ACORN. Attorneys general should begin by disclosing contributions received from, state taxpayer funding for, and attorneys' general ties, meetings and financial affiliations with, ACORN and its vast network,” said Fitzgibbons Only a handful of Democrats and one independent sided with ACORN on the Senate vote defending the controversial organization: Illinois Sen. Roland Burris, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Vermont Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders, and Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. As a private attorney in 1995, President Obama, a Democrat, represented ACORN in a voter-registration lawsuit in Illinois. Editor’s Note: Several readers vent about U.S. Senators Leahy’s and Sanders’ support of controversial ACORN. See this week’s Letters to the Editor.

P
atients First, a Project of Americans for Prosperity, commented on President Obama’s health care speech last week stating that President Obama changed nothing about his plan. His speech did not move Congress any closer to reforms that would put patients first. Instead, he vowed to call out people he deems as misrepresenting his plan. The American people have called out the president and congressional leaders for trying to force their version of health care reform on a public that doesn't want it. That's what the overwhelming response was at those town hall meetings and rallies over the last two months. Accusing his critics of scare tactics, he told the American people that if we don't get behind his plan, which he calls doing nothing, “more will die as a result.” He finally acknowledged the need for medical liability lawsuit reform, but instead of vowing to push for it in health care legislation, he said he would put Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, in charge of that. Interesting choice, since Sebelius used to be a lobbyist for trial lawyers. Americans are tired of hearing doublespeak from the president. In the same speech, he declared he doesn't want to defer reform one more year, or one more election, or one more term.’ But that was right after telling us his plan for the federally regulated health insurance exchange ‘will take effect in four years. Last night’s speech rehashed the same plan - including a public, government-controlled health insurance plan; a new federal definition of acceptable health insurance; an individual mandate that everyone purchase that insurance or face a tax; and an employer mandate increasing the burden on the engine of jobs. The president mocked the concerns of Americans who don't want to see these job-killing, tax-raising policies enacted. The president said his ‘door is always open’ to discuss alternatives to his plan. So far, however, we have seen little consideration given to the types of reforms we support - such as buying health insurance across state lines, tax credits for Americans of all incomes, and real tort reform. These are real reforms that would work for real people. Unfortunately, last week’s speech promised more things Washington can't deliver with its current proposals—promising everyone can keep their current health plan and that reform as Obama imagines it would not add to the deficit. If the president and Congress continue on the course they have charted, these promises will be broken in short order. Patients First has spent $1.9 million on T.V. ad buys in opposition to a government takeover of health care and is conducting the “Hands Off My Health Care” Bus Tour to educate citizens in 13 states. More than 210,000 Americans have signed the Patients First “Hands Off My Health Care” petition to Congress. To view the petition, get the bus tour schedule and more, please visit www.JoinPatientsFirst.com. Patients First, A Project of Americans for Prosperity, is focused on real health care reform—reform that puts patients first. Patients First believes that Americans want and need more health insurance options—not just a costly, governmentdefined plan paid for by American taxpayers. Patients First is a project of Americans for Prosperity® (AFP), a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization recognized by the IRS.
