UNLUCKY 13 — The delightful days of Indian Summer in Vermont came to an end last week. Portions of our region received its first snowfall Oct. 13 as evidenced by this farm scene located near the county line. It isn’t unusual to see the first snowfall of the season during Columbus Day week. At the moment, the ground is still too warm to retain the white stuff. Photo by Shawn Pemrick Photography

Coats for Kids campaign kicks off It’s a surprising and alarming fact given that Vermont is home to some of the region’s largest and most well-known ski resorts in the country. Vermont ranks eighth in the country for children living in poverty, according to a study by Voices for Vermont’s Children. More than 16,000 kids live in poverty in the state and that figure has steadily increased over the past three years. The largest percentage of those children are under age 5. With more tough economic times ahead, an increasing number of families will surely face greater challenges this coming winter. Last year, Coats for Kids drive collected and distributed more than 300 winter coats to children in need throughout Rutland. And still, unfortunately, some families were turned away due to a shortage of toddler and youth size coats. “This year, with the help of the schools, we hope to double that number and be able to outfit every child who needs it,” said Darlene McMahon, Coats for Kids organizer. This year, more than a dozen schools throughout Rutland County have joined the Coats for Kids’ campaign, Operation Bundle-Up. The schools and student groups are circulating coat donation request flyers and sponsoring collection drop boxes at each school. Collection and distribution channels outside Rutland city will ensure that coats reach kids in rural communities, as well. Coats for Kids drive will run from Thursday, October 16 through Monday, Nov. 2. Gently used or new coats, ranging from infant to youth sizes can be donated at any of the following collection boxes:

In Memory Of “Your Loved One”

In Memory Of
Hannaford, Price Chopper and Durgin’s Cleaners in Rutland, Pittsford Town Hall and various schools. Rutland Regional Medical Center employees may also donate at a Drop Box located inside the RRMC employee entrance. Hats, scarves, mittens, snow pants and boots will also be accepted. Coats for Kids will hold a Coat Giveaway at the Trinity Episcopal Church, West St., Rutland on Friday, Nov. 20, 3-7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 21, 8 a.m.3 p.m. Children in need of winter items will have the opportunity to browse through the racks of coats and outerwear and select their own style. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian on distribution day. Parents or guardians without children present must present proof of children’s birth, which may include government issued I.D. card, birth certificate, school ID, medical/immunization record. For families unable to attend the distribution, requested sizes will be delivered through the local school or social service agencies. Schools participating in the drive include Neshobe in Brandon, Barstow, Clarendon Elementary, Fair Haven Grade School, Lothrop in Pittsford, Poultney Elementary, Poultney High School, Proctor Elementary, Rutland Northeast Elementary, Rutland Intermediate, Rutland Middle School, Wallingford Elementary, West Rutland, Christ the King and Rutland Area Christian School. If you would like more information on the event or are interested in volunteering, please contact Darlene McMahon at 855-8880.

Have you ever wanted to beat out the frantic footsteps of a detective as he chases a suspect across the rooftops of a big city? Have you ever secretly desired to write your own commercial jingle for a product you have just invented? Have you ever wished you could play the creaky voice of Sparky, the cockerspaniel or Alona, the mysterious woman tap dancer? Then this workshop is for you and the entire family. Join the fun for five consecutive Saturdays, starting Nov. 7, as the American Logres Theatre of Middletown Springs assemble a cast of would-be radio performers to recreate a 1930s-era radio show—live and on stage. Each Saturday, participants will explore the art of Foley, creating sound effects using homemade instruments, write their own jingles for commercials, and create voices for a variety of funny and mysterious characters in an original radio play.
This unusual hands-on workshop is designed with participation for the entire family in mind (youngest participant s must be at least age 7). Vermont Radio Days will be held, 1-6 p.m., on several Saturdays: Nov. 7, 14, 21, 28 and Dec. 5, at the Middletown Springs Community Church in Middletown Springs. The Saturday sessions will culminate in a “broadcast” performance and party for an invited audience of family and friends. One snack will be provided. To join the cast, the cost is $125 per child and $175 per family. A $25 nonrefundable deposit is required to hold your place. Partial scholarships are available. To request a registration form, send either an e-mail to: www.americanlogrestheatre.com or americanlogrestheatre@yahoo.com or call 2351383.

Join the Lord’s ‘A Team’
A
s members of an elite paramilitary force, their exploits were legendary in the annals of television crimefighting history. During the decade of the 1980s, this force of veterans were for the best guys you could find to stop crime: “The ATeam”! The popular old T.V. show “The A Team” was one of a kind. Not only did its characters construct weapons out of common objects in each episode (the last episode I watched saw the conversion of a commode into a flame thrower!), but they were unbelievably clean with their back-and-forth bantering. T.V. shows were more innocent in those days: The closest thing the producers of “The A Team” came to staging a sex scene was when one of the male characters got a gentle kiss from a girl he had just saved— seems fair to me. If I was single and had just saved a girl and her family’s farm by using a flame-throwing commode, I would expect a kiss, too. Unlike today’s television violence, this show was censored to the extent that if there was a scene show-
ing an overturned vehicle or a helicopter crash, the injured party must be shown leaving the crash site. Opening shot: An out-ofcontrol helicopter flies into a rugged cliff. Cut to the next scene: Our heroes climb out of the wreckage with barely a cut. I often wondered—how could the A Team’s Mr. T, with only one punch, knock out a bad guy, but a serious automobile crash could only made someone lightheaded? While television shows can be unrealistic, our lives need to be grounded in the real world. So, what is the reality of your identity? Are you sinner or saint? Did you know that the Word of God says the worst and best things about you? Romans 3:23 says “all have sinned.” That is reality. We are all sinners. Romans 8:1 says, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That also is reality. We are in one category or the other. We are either lost or found. Television’s A-Team could no more defeat real criminals than I can transform myself into a saint. We
On His Course By Rev. Erron Hubbell
don’t make ourselves saints; it is Christ who changes the reality of our identity (that is, who we are). In II Corinthians 5:17, we are called to “a new creation” in Christ. We don’t change our reality by simply thinking good thoughts, doing good deeds, or even attending church. We change by being changed by Christ. We must live within the reality of who we are. If Christ is your Savior and Lord, then you are being changed by the Almighty God into the likeness of His Son—an awesome reality. Now is the time to live out who you are—as you live On His Course. Rev. Erron Hubbell is pastor of Alliance Community Fellowship located in the Howe Center in Rutland. 38347

Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets: Learn When Less is More
T
his week's Super-Couponing secret may surprise you because it goes against just about everything shoppers believe about saving money and shopping. Are you ready for a head-scratcher? Secret #5: Smaller-Size Items are Often a Better Value Yes, you read that right. Buying the smaller size of a product, with coupons, is often a better deal than buying a larger size of the same item. When I teach my coupon classes, this statement is almost always met with disbelief. I completely understand why, because it runs contrary to just about everything shoppers believe. To get the lowest price, we are very conditioned to buy the largest size of something - the "family size" cereals, the "value-pack" of refills or just the largest package we can find. It does seem that you'll need to buy that item less often if you buy a larger size - but you're also likely to spend much more than you need to. When we have a fairly high-value coupon, applying it to the relatively lower price of a smaller-sized item will often result in a significantly lower per-ounce cost. I know that this surprises many people. It surprised me, too, as I became a more experienced shopper. Over time, I noticed that many of the items I was able to bring home for free or for pennies were usually in smaller-sized packages than their so-called "value" or larger counterparts. Adding to the confusion, the larger packages often tout in big, bold letters that they are the better buy! A few examples will help you understand why this works. A certain brand of aluminum foil is on sale at my local store. The 70-square-foot box is $3.79 and the 20square-foot box is 99 cents. With a coupon that states "$1 off any aluminum foil," I have my choice as to which size box I'd like, the larger or the smaller. While my dollar coupon will, indeed, give me a discount on the larger box, the smaller box will be free. And I prefer free any day. The rule of thumb that it's better to buy the smaller size
Hold the cat gently
T
he freshman college basketball player ’s first practice didn’t go well, he thought, as far as his performance was concerned anyway. After practice the young player addressed his new coach, telling him he’d jump much higher and dunk the ball with more ease and regularity then he had in the first practice. He told his coach he wasn’t sure why his ability to jump “Out of the gym,” and dunk the ball hard had disappeared in his first ever college practice. The freshman’s coach told the boy that being a good player at the college level doesn’t require one to jump extremely high or dunk fantastically well. The coach told the boy “The higher the level you play, the more a constant presence of the fundamentals is needed to succeed.” The coach listed passing, short shots, defense and conditioning, as being much more important than extremely high jumping and hard dunking. A greenhorn local short track stock car racer chatted with a wiry, weathered, worn, weary, venerable winning veteran race driver, about the do’s and don’ts of circling a quarter-mile racetrack. The green-horn soaked in the veteran racer ’s advise the same way a Nun wanna-be attempts to soak in her Mother Superior ’s benevolent essence, on the first day of Nun school. The two racers parted as the race line-up came through the loud speaker, and the greenhorn could not quite believe the veteran racer ’s parting comment. “Sometimes if you drive slower, you’ll go faster,” the cagey old driver said. A house-call making vet appreciated the cat owner ’s offer to hold his cat while the vet gave the cat her shots, clipped her nails, and checked her pittering little heart, and sharp tiny teeth. Toward the end of the check-up, the cat became restless and started to squirm. The owner held tight and the vet finished his work. The entire procedure took less then five minutes. The owner asked the vet how he’s able to work on cats that have a less than calm demeanor. The vet said when he knows he’s going to check on a particularly wily feline, he’ll bring an assistant who is experienced in cat holding. But cats are strong, quick, and unpredictable, and the owner wondered if the vet and his assistant ever got scratched. The vet told the owner, “It may be hard to believe, but we rarely get scratched. The more gently you hold a cat, the more calm it’s apt to be.” There’s an old joke, I don’t know it well, and I’ll have to edit it for the column, but it’s a good one -- An old bull and young bull are grazing in a field, looking off and away to a pasture full of heifers. The young bull says, “Hey, I’m going to run down there and kiss one of them heifers.” The old bull looks at the young bull and says, “Why don’t you walk down and kiss them all?” My cat Scarlet nestled into a back cushion of my sofa and watched and listened to myself and my group of musicians rehearse for fully two hours. Every so often when we hit a clinker or ride the tempo and volume of a particular song particularly high, Scarlet’s ears would perk back and her eyes would widen. She’d give a paw a lick or two, then settle back deep down into the cushion as the rehearsal continued. The following afternoon, the gal who’ll be dancing in my upcoming shows and I were rehearsing in the same space as the former night’s music rehearsal. Scarlet paid little attention to the dancer ’s beautiful moves. Instead she spent most of the dance rehearsal off to the side, facing away from the dancer, cleaning. I have to assume Scarlet isn’t much into dance. Scarlet is into herself. Whether nestled and listening, or off to the side and cleaning, she seems relaxed and content. She listens with all her might, and she ignores and cleans with all her might, and she does both without the least bit of a sign of angst, or stress. Reason number one why cats have nine lives. The coach, the veteran driver, the veterinarian, the old bull, and Scarlet, have got it figured out. Hold the cat gently.

especially holds true when we stack a store's coupon and manufacturer's coupon. With the two coupons, we receive an even larger discount on an item. For example, baby wipes are on sale By Jill Cataldo at my store this week. The plastic tub contains 77 wipes and it's on sale for $2.99. The "value-pack" of baby wipe refills contains 231 wipes and it's on sale for $5.99. My store offers a $1.50 store coupon good on any size of the wipes. I also have a $1 manufacturer coupon for the wipes. Stacking these coupons gives me $2.50 in savings on either size item. With the coupons, the plastic tub with 77 wipes will cost just 49 cents. The "value-pack" refill will cost me $3.49 using the same coupons. The "value-pack" contains three 77-count wipe packages; that works out to about $1.16 for each 77-wipe package. I'd spend more than twice as much on baby wipes if I purchased the larger, so-called "money-saving" size. An even easier example involves coupons for items that come in a trial or travel size. A $1 coupon good for any size deodorant will certainly give you a discount on a fullsize deodorant. But a 99-cent travel size will be free using the coupon. Again, any time a coupon states that it will work on any size of a product, remember that the trial and travel sizes are included. Free always makes better financial "cents" than spending more than we have to!

Oct. 27 launch will be first test of shuttle replacement
T
he Oct. 19 rollout of NASA’s new Ares 1-X test rocket at Cape Canaveral, Florida, was the first small step in a big leap to replace the aging space-shuttle fleet. And on Tuesday, Oct. 27, if all goes well, the Ares 1-X will be launched to test the performance of the solid-propellant rocket stack carrying its mockup of the Apolloshaped Orion spacecraft and escape tower system. This writer was invited to be one of NASA’s press guests at the Ares 1-X rollout at Cape Canaveral. The pencil-thin rocket— nearly as tall as the old Saturn-V moon rocket—made a slow four-mile-long, motorizedcrawler trip, from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the seaside launch complex 39B, in seven hours. News personnel and VIPs from around the world were scheduled to be in attendance to witness the historic rollout. Here’s why the 1-X rocket is so important to the future of America’s human space program— The Ares rocket is the keystone of NASA’s new Constellation program; it will lift the piloted version of the Orion spacecraft, the vehicle that will transport astronauts to the space station and—someday—on to the Moon and Mars. Right now, America’s Moon plans are on indefinite hold thanks to the current administration’s lack of a high-frontier vision coupled with its growing deficit crisis. Despite this writer ’s disappointment in seeing America’s lunar plans delayed, at least the infrastructure for sustained human interplanetary exploration is finally being put in place—and that’s a very positive step forward in leaving the confines of low Earth orbit. But let’s get back to this month’s big activities at Cape Canaveral— The Ares 1-X rocket stands more than 300 feet tall; it is a fragile looking thing but is, in fact, a powerful two-stage rocket. Ares is a modified five-segment, solid-rocket booster derived from the space shuttle. Ares 1-X also has a cryogenic (frigid liquefied fuel) upper stage that is driven by a J-2X engine derived from the old Saturn rocket’s upper stages. This is an ideal example of recycling proven technology. It’s an investment of tax dollars in aerospace technology that will have real payoffs.
Oct. 27’s launch target altitude won’t be low Earth orbit. Instead, the rocket will peak at 130,000 feet, on the edge of space, zooming at 3,300 MPH,m while the first stage will zoom on to its top altitude of 150,000 feet. From peak altitude, the first-stage will fall back to Earth buoyed by parachutes; a NASA ship located 144 miles east of Cape Canaveral will retrieve it. This is the same vessel that has been used to retrieve the shuttle’s burned out solid-rocket boosters to be reused. Here’s what to watch out for: Separation of the Ares 1-X’s first-stage on Oct. 27 will be the key event that will decide the ultimate success of this $350 million test flight. (The mockup upper stage and Orion spacecraft are less important; they will fall back into the ocean and not be retrieved.) You can watch the exciting live launch of Ares 1-X at 8 a.m., Oct. 27, on NASA-TV. NASA-TV is available by most cable and satellite television providers or you can watch it for free online at www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.ht ml. What’s in the Sky: The planets Mercury, Venus and Saturn are staggered along the imaginary line of the ecliptic Oct. 24. Look in the east after 7 p.m. fro this trio. The line of the ecliptic slices through the constellation Virgo. Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., is a former NASA science writer. He is a member of the NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador program in Vermont.

MSJ joins Hike for Hunger RUTLAND — Mount St. Joseph Academy students are joining forces with schools statewide to work in the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger's 13th annual Hike for Hunger event. Kate Zambon, an MSJ senior, is spearheading the effort at MSJ, recruiting its students to hike, and will be spreading the word through the screening of a documentary at the school's morning chapel this week. Students are being asked to raise money and awareness for hunger and nutrition issues facing Vermont’s children. October is Hike for Hunger month. Students from elementary age through college will be hiking on various days and locations to raise money for the campaign's Cooking for Life nutrition education classes, according to Rebecca O'Reilly, Nutrition Education Coordinator of the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger. MSJ's hike takes place Oct. 28, rain or shine, at Pine Hill Park in Rutland. "The goal of Cooking for Life is to empower parents and youth to make healthy choices," O'Reilly said. "With increased skills in nutrition and low-cost meal preparation, families can stretch food dollars further and feel good about providing healthy options for their families. It is one thing we all can do to decrease the risk of hunger for Vermont children and families." MSJ will view the agency's Every Child Every Day documentary at morning chapel to create a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by families with inadequate nutrition in Vermont, said Erica Zimmer, MSJ faculty member and advisor on this project. The Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger is a statewide nonprofit organization that works with state agencies and community groups to develop sustainable hunger solutions. Hike for Hunger 2009 is sponsored by City Market, National Life Group and Northfield Savings Bank.

Vermont author Archer Mayor explains how he “frames” a Joe Gunther detective novel. Photos by Catherine M. Oliverio
By Catherine M. Oliverio POULTNEY — Vermont resident Archer Mayor, New England’s premiere mystery novelist, visited with Poultney High School Oct. 9 through the collaboration of Dawn Sarli, challenge teacher and Catherine M. Oliverio, English language arts. Daily workshops had Mayor working with English, science, and art classes culminating the day in a question and answer assembly. Mayor discussed the craft of writing, forensic science, and his other jobs including death investigator for Vermont’s chief medical examiner and deputy sheriff for Windham County, as well as 25 years in EMS and fire fighting. Faculty and students thanked Mayor for his insight, honesty with respect to the writing industry, and his knowledge of the forensics and scientific facts. Mayor has been writing and editing over 30 years. “When lost in writing, it is so magical,” he said. When asked about retirement, he said, “I’ll never retire until I get that movie deal.” Students interested in becoming writers inquired about getting beyond writer ’s block, character descriptions, and busy schedules. Many wondered how Mayor juggled his life. “I write when I can, which at times includes writing on my laptop in the car between jobs,” he said. “Writer ’s block? Forget that,” Mayor said. “Sometimes you need to walk away. What I do is take a 10-minute nap. If you hit a roadblock on character description, simply skip it, make a notation, and go back to it another time. Keep the flow going and then edit.” Mayor emphasized the importance of editing. “I edit my 300-400 page manuscripts up to 6-7 times.” His metaphor of horse manure in relation to editing had the audience laughing. “Come on, let’s face it repetition is an issue. Revising is respecting your readers,” he said. “Everyone is a writer. Some of you text, e-mail, whatever—just make sure you edit what you send. The craft of writing makes me feel like a closet air traffic controller; and with so much going on, it’s like performing an autopsy,” he added. Mayor referenced the use of the bicycle as compared to writing. “How many of you didn’t crash the first time you rode that bicycle?” No hands went up. “Yes, it takes practice. I wrote six turkeys before getting published. At least I asked what I needed to do to improve my craft,” he said When asked his favorite book, Mayor said, “That would
be my next book, which is up here in my head.” Mayor ’s advice included the following: •Avoid stopping at the end of a chapter. •Leave open-ended sentences so that when you go back to it, you can keep the flow going. •Never give up your full-time job since the odds are against you. Fascinating for most was that Mayor lived in Europe and Argentina most of his life and still does not understand our English language. He asked students—“Can you please tell me what an adverb is? I have no clue. That’s why I have five different editors.” Mayor lived in 30 different places since his father, who died at age 99, had the family moving around a lot. “My dad said, ‘Never quit, always get fired.’” In 1988 Mayor had three books published, two history books and one novel. “I quit my job not taking my father ’s advice,” he said. Old-fashioned curiosity and nosiness involved Mayor involved in forensics. “I wanted to know why do we do what we do to each other.” The question of “CSI” and “NCIS” television shows popped up; Mayor said that although he does not get to watch much T.V., he loves “CSI Las Vegas”. He agreed that “NCIS” was more true to life. At Yale Mayor majored in U.S. history so that he could learn about Americans and why people did not care for them in the other countries he had lived in. Mayor began his career for a wealthy Texas family involved with oil and forestry whose story embodied American history and led him to writing his first detective Joe Gunther book, “Open Season”. Mayor highly acclaimed for his Vermont-based series released his new book, “The Price of Malice”, and is currently working on book no. 21. One last question for the audience, Mayor asked, “Do you remember what I said when you have your first book done?” A student shouted out—“Burn it!” Another student asked, “Why would someone do that?” “You need to keep practicing. It’s like learning the art of playing the piano,” said Mayor. “Remember readers are storytellers; they get to run the movie in their heads and are capable of being creators.” Mayor ’s accomplished work won him the 2004 New England Independent Booksellers Association Award for best fiction, the first time that crime literature had been honored.

The Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) has renewed its agreement with TIAA-CREF Tuition Financing, Inc. to manage the Vermont Higher Education Investment Plan—Vermont’s official 529 college savings plan — and is offering several enhancements to benefit Vermont families. The number of VHEIP investment options has expanded from three to six to provide families a wider range of choices with varying strategies and degrees of risk. Investors may choose options that range from conservative to aggressive, selecting those that best fit their college savings objectives and investment philosophy. In addition, program management fees have been restructured to help account owners put more of their investments toward their college savings goals. Of particular note, fees have been reduced for the Managed Allocation Option, a popular choice for many families because the underlying investments automatically adjust as the student beneficiary ages. In addition to the changes, plans are under way to make managing a VHEIP account online much easier. Account owners will be able to view electronic quarterly and annual statements online, rebalance existing assets to new or existing investment options, and make withdrawals to the bank account on record. The Vermont Higher Education Investment Plan launched in 1999 and has grown to an asset value of $100 million in about 9,600 accounts. VHEIP is the only 529 plan for which Vermont taxpayers can claim a state income tax credit of up to $250 per taxpayer per beneficiary (up to $500 for married couples filing jointly) on contributions in each taxable year.
Ski From page 1 Johnson won the gold medal in 1984. Beck also finished 5th, in 1952, in the prestigious Alberg-Kandahar Downhill--again a best ever by an American skier. He was a member of the 1954 World Championship Team, the 1956 Olympic Team Captain, and coach of the 1960 Olympic team. He remained active in the ski industry after retiring as a coach, as an industry representative, and sport shop owner. Erlon “Bucky” Broomhall, originally from Rumford, Maine, dedicated his career to giving opportunities to young skiers in Southern Vermont. Broomhall had a successful college career racing for the Western State College Cross Country Ski Team. He came to Bennington in 1966 “to head a total ski program for the kids of all ages from kindergarten through high school.” He coached cross country, jumping and downhill, winning 5 Vermont State High School championships and helping at least 25 skiers to the Junior Olympics. He was one of the first in the nation to coach a girl’s team and brought the first girl’s team to Junior Olympics in 1968. In 1969, he left his coaching position to start the Torger Tokle League, now known as the Bill Koch League to develop skiers not yet in high school. Suzy Chaffee, from Rutland, had a successful sport and television career. She was on the U.S. Women’s Ski Team competing in the downhill. Due to a miscalculation in wax, she did not fulfill her Olympic potential in the 1968 Games, but she received press for her silver racing suit. She used this press to launch many ventures including a modeling/endorsement/film career, a designer clothing line, and ski equipment made for women. She has been a strong advocate for women’s equality in sports. She joined the freestyle ski team as professional in 1971 and competed with the men since there was no women’s division; she won titles in 1971-73. She was one of the first two women to serve on the USOC's Board of Directors; she assisted in the passage of the Amateur Sport Act of 1978; she served on president’s council on physical fitness under four administrations. Most recently she founded the Native Voices Foundation with the mission “to create joyful unity through sports and education to heal mother earth for all our children.” Robert “Bobo” Sheehan was a legendary coach from 1945-1968. He skied on the Newport Vermont High School team in 1939, 1940 before joining the Middlebury class of ’44. Sheehan coached the Middlebury women’s team in 1946 and led the Middlebury men in 1948 to their first of two consecutive national championship titles. In the same year Becky Fraser ’46, captain of the 1944 and 1945 women’s teams, became the first Middlebury skier to compete for the U.S. Olympic Team. He coached the 1956 US Olympic Team. He was president of the Eastern Collegiate Ski Association and member of the Olympic Ski Games Committee. In 1984, Middlebury College dedicates the Robert “Bobo” Sheehan chairlift in celebration of 50 years of skiing at the College. Sheehan died in 1999. The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to honor athletes, special contributors, and pioneers of Vermont skiing who promoted and/or contributed to the sport of skiing in Vermont; to document the histories of Inductees in the Museum’s collection; and to recognize their accomplishments through the Induction ceremony and the Hall of Fame exhibit. This year ’s Induction ceremony will be on Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Town Hall Theater in Middlebury. The Induction Ceremony and Reception will begin at 3 p.m. Tickets are $30 for Museum members and $40 for nonmembers. Everyone is welcome to join the Inductees for dinner at the Waybury Inn following the Induction Ceremony. Tickets for dinner include the Ceremony and are $85 for members and $100 for non-members.

Spartans defeat Amcats, 24-21 By Frederick Pockette The Castleton Stage College Spartans defeated the Anna Maria Amcats 24-21 last Saturday for their first ever road win. Castleton began their inaugural with a 42-28 home win over Anna Maria, who is also playing their first season of varsity football. The Spartans then dropped their next four before nipping the Amcats to improve to 2-4 on the year. The game was one of scoring streaks. Castleton jumped out to a 14-0 lead on a pair of rushing touchdowns by freshman running back Tyler Carpenter. Carpenter would end the day leading the Castleton rushing attack by carrying the ball 23 times for 104 yards and the two Tds. But the Spartans didn’t hold the lead for long. The Amcats responded with three unanswered touchdowns over the next one and a half quarters and led 21-14 heading into the fourth quarter. The Cats first score came on a 12-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Sean Quinlivan to Dominique Concepcion ( 4 receptions for 56 yards.) Concepcion was Anna Maria’s second leading receiver on the day with 4 receptions for 56 yards. Devon Nixon led the Amcats receivers with 8 receptions for 56 yards. Quinlivan ended
the game completing 13 of 19 pass attempts for 176 yards. The Spartans battled back in the fourth quarter to claim the win. With 9:28 left to play in the game senior running back Randy Babineau ( 8 carries for 52 yards.) from Milton, VT capped off a 68-yard Spartan game tying drive with a five yard touchdown run. Then with just 1:22 left to play Castleton took over after a punt with the ball in enemy territory, at the Amcats 49yard line. It was excellent field position and the Spartans took advantage of it to eek out the win. Castleton’s offense drove the ball 36yards in just five plays, setting up Luis Robitaille 28yard field goal with just 15 seconds left, securing a 2421 Spartan win. Spartan quarterback Shane Brozowski did attack through the air as well, to help set up that deadly Spartan rushing attack. Brozowski completed 14 of his 25 pass attempts for 226 yards including a 44 yard strike to his leading receiver Evan Cassidy. Cassidy, who was the game’s only 100 yard receiver had 8 catches for 147 yards. On defense Cameron Laundry recorded a pair of sacks for the Spartans, who take on Husson at home this Saturday.
Blue Devils and Slaters Fall On Friday In high school football both the Fair Haven Slaters and Poultney Blue Devils were in action last Friday night, but neither could come up with a win. In Winooski the Spartans outscored the Blue Devils 20-0 in the second half, turning a 14-14 game at halftime to convincing 34-14 Spartan win over the visiting Poultney, Blue Devils. Gary Grant rushed for three touchdowns to lead the Spartans offense. Cyle Chaplin had a10yard touchdown run with 6:03 to go in the third quarter to break the 14-14 tie. Grant and Chaplin added touchdown runs in the fourth quarter to secure the win. Poultney’s Skylar Staples rushed for two touchdowns in the first half, to account for the Blue Devil’s scoring. Poultney fell to 1-6, while the Spartans improved to 42. In Fair Haven the same night the hometown Slaters were driving in the game’s final moments. Trailing the Union-32 Raiders 34-26, Fair Haven was looking to tie the game but that is when John Helme intercepted Jessie Maynard’s pass at the goal line to secure the win for the visiting Raiders.
Jesse Burke led a deadly U-32 rushing attack carrying the ball 18 times for 185 yards and a pair of touchdown runs. Elias LaCount added another 118 rushing yards on 18 carries, including an 18-yard TD run Dacota Carrier and Logan Farrell chipped in with short touchdown runs to round out the Raiders scoring. Maynard had touchdown passes to Isiaih Jackson, Mac Stannard and Levi Ellis. Running back David Atkins ran for 102 yards and a touchdown in defeat for the Slaters. The Otter Valley Otters on the other hand refused to be denied, winning their second game in a row last Saturday, defeating Rice 40-22 in South Burlington. Junior running back Peter Bautista led the Otters offense rushing for 200 yards and three touchdowns. Fellow junior quarterback Zakk Williams completed three touchdown passes. Senior wide out Joe Massores caught two of them and senior receiver Casey Babcock caught the other. Evan Healey had 110 receiving yards and caught two touchdowns for Rice, who dropped to 2-5 with the loss. The Otters improved to 3-4 with the win and are right back in the playoff picture after a slow 1-4 start.

Numero-phobia in Ferrisburgh S
ome things were different back in 1970, the year the Act 250 rules were legislated, and some not. For example, the retail milk price was then 66 cents per gallon, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data, which, adjusted for inflation, equates to about $3.50 today (so take that, all you contemporary milk-price-complainers) but, in contrast, the focus in land use regulation which used to be more mathematically-based, with published measurable quantitative standards for development proposals to meet, isn’t so much any more. Consider, for example, the first three of the 10 Criteria of Act 250: #1, which measures air and water pollution, #2 which measures potable water supply sufficiency, and #3 which measures the proposal’s burden on existing water supply. Down the list is #8, the one which was written to control such non-quantifiable things as “undue adverse effect on esthetics” and “irreplaceable natural resources”. Those who have followed Act 250 in operation over the decades will recall that at first the quantifiable criteria were far more predominant, and only more recently have the subjective ones become more important. Those of us in the planning discipline who were enthusiastic back then about quantitative, measurable, standards as the transparent, predictable criteria basis for development approval by local zoning boards turned out to be in a distinct minority, which is reflected in the history of performance-standards bylaws drawing a lot of hostility and almost zero acceptance from planning and zoning boards across the country. Instead, the P&Z folks chose to go in just about the opposite direction, raising “conditional use” (with its option for invented-on-the-spot conditions) from an infrequentlyapplied approach to special-situation permitting to one that has grown markedly in scope in most city and town plans just about everywhere. It’s not surprising, therefore, that the
Ferrisburgh P&Z folks have used their conditional approval powers to set some decidedly non-measurement-based requirements for the present Champlain Oil food and fuel proposal on Route 7. Two parts of the proposal have been rejected: one is diesel fuel pumps and the other is drive-through fast-food service. Both rejections are predicated on a stated board belief that such elements would “increase traffic in the area to an unsafe level”. No numbers are offered to support this belief, even though the applicable figures are readily available, or reasonably estimable. For example, the traffic-engineering fraternity has developed some guidelines for hourly traffic volumes on various highway configurations, as shown, fairly typically, in the New Jersey standards (on the State Transportation website under Road User Cost Computations) which state that a typical modern two-lane highway has a vehicle capacity of 1400 privately-owned vehicles (POV’s) per hour in each lane, which works out to, when multiplied by 24 hours, a fairly substantial 67,200 over a full day. That number is described by the NJ AoT as the “normal” and “ideal” capacity of such a highway, by which measure VT’s two-lane Route 7 at about 15000/day would be, shall we say, under-utilized. For both lanes, 1400 times 2, then 2800 times 10 daylight hours yields a more old-fashioned once-standard number in the general 20-30K range. VT AoT data on Route 7 traffic in recent years have shown volumes in the 15-to-25K range at various points along its corridor, the higher counts in the urban areas like Rutland and the lower ones in the more-open areas like Ferrisburgh. I’d guess that the Ferrisburgh zoners could have obtained and used the relevant up-to-date Route 7 numbers as the quantitative basis for a traffic-congestion standard if they had wanted to. They didn’t. Instead, they applied the adjective “inconclusive” to the COCO consult-

ants’ studies, without telling the public what numbers therein caused the “inconclusivity”. I have the column-inches for only one sample calculation, based in part on a little customer-time survey I ran, just for this purpose, at a fuel-and-food vendor site near here. It turns out that average on-site customer dwell-time is a shade over eight minutes, most at the pump and some at the coffee/snack counter. Because of typically larger fuel tanks, diesel fill-ups take somewhat longer than gas fill-ups for which I’ll use the 8minute figure. Hypothetically, there might be 8 pumps at a typical fuel-vendor set-up, each, under continuous use, capable of servicing almost 8 POV visits per hour, or about 64 for all. For the COCO proposal, that would be 64 POV’s per hour coming off a Route 7 with a maximum hourly traffic flow of say 1500 (15000 for a full day divided by 10 daylight hours only) for a traffic impact of 64 divided by 1500, or about 4 percent. The estimate is conservatively high for three reasons: 1. it allocates all Route 7 traffic to daylight; 2. it doesn’t recognize that it typically takes longer to fill up with diesel, so that traffic into and out of the fuel station would be reduced in accordance with the number of pumps dispensing diesel and not gas; and 3. it assumes all pumps would be in continuous customer use, something which hasn’t happened since the gas lines of 1973. (Parenthetically, so much for the non-quantified notion that one reason for forbidding diesel pumps while permitting gas pumps is concern over increased traffic.) Using the NJ AoT two-lane highway capacity figures, VT Route 7 in Ferrisburgh is currently functioning at less than a quarter of its theoretical maximum load. Whether an improbable but possible, worst-case, 4 % increase is too much, in COCO-enterprise traffic leaving and re-entering the highway, is best decided, not by avoiding the numbers and simply declaring that it is, but by referring to an already-adopted-and-in-print set of impact standards limiting every new development applicant, to, say, 5%. Since Ferrisburgh never adopted performance-standard zoning with actual numbers for permissible impacts, it has no such published performance standards for both applicants and regulators to rely on, and must instead, use its own, case-by-case, subjective, nonumbers, judgment as each applicant, unsure of what might “pass”, comes before it. Maybe that result isn’t just numerophobia in the normal sense of that aversion, but exactly what the P&Z folks wanted all along.

BURLINGTON—As the future becomes increasingly technology dependent and global science competition becomes ever more intense, the United States faces a potential shortage of scientists. Only 18 percent of U.S. high school seniors are proficient in science according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Only 5 percent of current U.S. college graduates have earned science, engineering, or technology degrees compared to 66 percent in Japan and 59 percent in China. Looking at these statistics, the national 4-H Youth Development Program is tapping the resources of the 106 land grant universities and colleges of the Cooperative Extension System. In Vermont, the University of Vermont Extension is piloting the 4-H Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) program to excite youth about science careers. Nationally and in Vermont, Extension programming has brought agricultural science, electricity, mechanics, entrepreneurship, and natural sciences careers to young people's attention. Today, 4-H out-of-school opportunities also open the door to subjects such as rocketry, robotics, global positioning, renewable energy, and computer science with hands-on learning experiences. The goal of 4-H SET is to inspire 1 million young people nationally and 3,000 in Vermont on the path of excelling in science, engineering, and technology by 2013. At its 2008 launch in Vermont, 4-Hers in Burlington and at a statewide teen leadership meeting in Fairlee took part in the 1st annual 4-H National Youth Science Day experiment, using a disposable diaper, zip-lock bag, newspaper, and tap water to learn about hydrogel technology and water conservation secrets. For this year's 4-H National Youth Science Day experiment in October, 4-H has designed “Biofuel Blast,” a hands-on experiment to introduce young people all around the nation to biofuels. Youth will become a scientist for the day, discovering how ordinary household products can create alternative energy, how that fuel can power many of the things we use each day and participate in a national youth debate to discuss the “best” biofuel based on experiment outcomes. Young people will be able to see how their small creations are part of a major current nationwide discussion. Youth will also be engaged before, during and after the experiment via several popular communication mechanisms, including cell phone text messages, Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, and through the 4-H.org website. In 4-H, children learn leadership, citizenship and life skills through more than 1,000 projects with topics as varied as pets and farm animals, rocketry, digital mapping, computer game design, public speaking, photography, nutrition and community service.

“Thanks, VELCO!” To the editor: VELCO employees Kerrick Johnson and Shana Duval recently stopped by the Merchants Row Clubhouse of the Boys and Girls Club of Rutland County where they toured the Club, met some youth members and generously donated over $3,000 raised during their annual employee golf fundraiser. Funds donated will go towards expanding programming. VELCO has been supporting the Club’s after school programming for many years and thanks to this type of community support, B and G Clubs benefit over 500 Rutland County youth annually. “There’s a lot of things I like about the club,” said 8year- old Hannah, “the Halloween Carnival, decorating the Paramount Christmas tree with Joyce (cultural arts coordinator), meeting with my mentor (part of the WARM mentoring program), playing pool, and hanging out with Maura (Forest park Unit Director).” Kids like Hannah can be members of the B and G club for the entire school year for only $15. Needless to say, membership fees only begin to cover the costs of the many quality programs offered at the three Rutland County B and G Club units. Each site offers after school and school vacation programs for youth ages 6-18. Each Club unit has junior and teen games rooms, an art room, a café where dinner and snacks are served, homework tutoring, computer labs, special events and field trips, and most importantly, qualified staff that really care about the well being of Rutland County kids.\ “Thank you, VELCO!”—young members shouted out to Shana and Kerrick as they presented the check. The Boys & Girls Club of Rutland County is very grateful for the generous support of VELCO, Equinox Consulting, and Racette Electric who participated in the annual employee golf tournament. For information about youth membership, volunteer opportunities, or donating to the B and G Clubs of Rutland County, please contact us at 747-4944, www.rutlandbgclub.org. The Boys and Girls Club of Rutland County is the positive place for kids. Brooke Nuckles Teen Outreach, Teen Center Coordinator Boys & Girls Club of Rutland County

To the editor: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont announced last week that it will cover the cost to administer the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine for its members to help ensure that as many people as possible are vaccinated. BCBSVt. members will be able to receive the H1N1 shot without paying a copayment, coinsurance, or deductible regardless of the plan benefit design. BCBSVt. will pay the allowed administrative cost while the federal government will pay for the vaccine itself as it becomes available this fall. Our flu shots are covered by Medicare for those who qualify, otherwise, people who don’t receive the Medicare benefit pay $33 for the flu shot. That’s the amount we charge to cover the cost of the vaccination.
