Vermont tops N.E. states in private-sector job losses
North Pole’s chief elf to make special visit
MONTPELIER — The 2009 recession hit hard and deep in Vermont's private sector, especially in construction and manufacturing. About 6 percent of private sector jobs have disappeared since the recession started nearly two years ago. Losses have also spread to the public sector in 2009, as state government made cuts to reduce state spending. The Douglas administration is on track to reduce the number of state jobs by more than 8 percent by the end of the year—eliminating a total of over 700 state positions. A report, State of Working Vermont 2009, by Public Assets Institute in Montpelier, highlights these changes and their effects on Vermont’s workers and their families. It argues that cutting state jobs has worsened the recession for the state’s economy and its people. "We have to recognize that there are negative consequences to cutting the state payroll," said Public Assets Institute president Paul Cillo. "In the private sector, companies have to lay off workers because there is no work for them. We’re seeing cuts in state services just when the recession is forcing more and more people to turn to state government for help. And to the extent the administration is laying off state workers, it is making the recession worse and increasing the cost of unemployment." According to the report, Vermont had lost more of its private sector jobs through 2009 than any of the other New England states. Since the start of the recession, the number of private sector jobs in Vermont dropped by more than 15,000.
15,000 jobs lost
RUTLAND — Attention, Rutland-area paparazzi and autograph hounds! Get ready for the arrival of a famous international personality at Depot Park on the evening of Friday, Nov. 27. What will all the celebrity glitter and hubbub be about? Well, the world’s most famous elf, jolly old St. Nick, is expected to make his annual whistlestop visit to downtown Rutland. A spokesperson for the North Pole resident announced that the big elf wants to meet hundreds of local boys and girls and hear all about their Christmas wish lists. The tradition of Santa making his way into Rutland to help kick off the holiday season begins at 6 p.m. when Santa arrives in style in Depot Park. Rutland City Mayor Christopher Louras will join in officially welcoming Santa to the City of Rutland. Santa and Louras will light the holiday tree. Wagon rides and carolers will add to the festive evening. Once Santa has illuminated the city’s holiday tree, he will head to Santa’s Land located at Boys and Girls Club on Merchants Row. There, the big elf will visit with children to

MSJ football moves to Div III Switch strengthens football program
RUTLAND — Mount St. Joseph Academy will petition the state's regulating agency to change its football program status from the current Division I to Division III in a move that MSJ Principal Paolo Zancanaro referred to as part of a process to strengthen the school's overall athletic programming. Zancanaro said the school is positioning itself for "a bold future," and the change in football divisions is one part of it. The Vermont Interscholastic Football League (VIFL) met in a special meeting Nov. 9 to consider MSJ's petition. The decision of the VIFL will be passed on to the Vermont Principals' Association Football Committee for final approval. If approved, the change would be effective for the 2010-11 season. "It is important to acknowledge that MSJ football has had a noble record in Division I since the 1930s," Zancanaro stated. "However, the current needs of the school and the student body necessitated an evaluation of our division standing." "This is in the best interests of Mount Saint Joseph Academy." Zancanaro notified parents via e-mail last Monday, and

1 year old. Neutered Male. Dachsund mix. I am just the right size for taking everywhere with you and I am an odd-looking little fella so I am a great conversation starter. I walk nicely on a leash and know how to sit and I do enjoy a good treat, which will make training me easy.
Man charged with aggravated assault RUTLAND — On Nov. 8, at approximately 9:58 p.m., Officer Frank Post and Corp. Andrew Todd of the Rutland City Police Department stopped a suspicious vehicle on Granger Street. As these officers spoke to the occupants in the vehicle, one of the officers observed what appeared to be a handgun in the waistband of one of the male occupants. The officer ordered the male to step out of his vehicle, at which time the male suspect fled the scene on foot. Post pursued the suspect with his police dog. During this foot pursuit, a single gunshot was heard coming from the direction of the suspect. Post, the pursuing officer, returned fire, but the suspect was able to escape the area. Shortly thereafter, the suspect was located at a residence in Rutland City and was apprehended by the Rutland City Police Department. Chief Anthony Bossi of the Rutland City Police requested that the Vermont State Police conduct an investigation into this incident. Detectives from the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation D Troop were called in to conduct this investigation. The suspect has been identified as Tyshawn L. Plowden, age 22, of Brooklyn, N.Y. The suspect was charged with aggravated assault with other charges to potentially follow. The Rutland County State’s Attorney Office in coordination with the attorney general’s office will be conducting an investigative review of this case.

Correction In last week’s page 1 caption, appearing under the photograph of the RHS vs. MSJ game taken by Shawn Pemrick Photography, we failed to identify the MSJ athlete wearing green jersey No. 51.

Rutland-Middlebury-Burlington party urges rail travel Inspired by the buzz and You-Tube notoriety around concerts and dances held at rail stations around the world, the Vermont Rail Action Network has scheduled a party and concert at Vermont’s own Union Station in Burlington, Nov. 20. New York City-based quartet, Lez Zeppelin were scheduled to rock the rails as part of a statewide campaign to increase awareness of the advantages of rail travel for Vermonters. Two taxpayer-funded Amtrak trains serve Vermont and provide a popular travel option for visiting tourists and Vermonters going to New York and beyond. Rail party sponsors said more investment in Vermont’s rail infrastructure is needed to speed up these lines and allow Rutland’s “Ethan Allen” train to be extended to Middlebury, Vergennes and Burlington, stopping downtown at the site of the concert. Lez Zeppelin, an all-female quartet , was recently featured on the CBS Sunday Morning Show. The group proudly proclaimed the truth inherent to their music: “All girls. All Zeppelin.” “As for the name, and people’s suppositions, we don’t care what they think,” Lez guitarist Steph Paynes said. “If they want to think we’re all lesbians, that’s fine with us. If they want to try to figure out who is and who isn’t, it’s all in good fun. It’s all part of the mystery.”

The audacity of ordinary
B
eing interviewed on the local “Quote Me” news show, this guy Matt Dunne who’s trying for the governor ’s seat, did not refer to the public at large as “ordinary.” I appreciate that, Mr. Dunne. You’ll get a look-see from me on that count alone. I can’t remember Brian Dubie using the word “ordinary” when describing any of Vermont’s inhabitants either. Personally, I think Brian Dubie’s first rate. Many times I’ve heard our good ol’ feller President Obama— who in my opinion is one gol darn unbelievably, freakishly, fantastically gifted communicator—in ways that not only benefit millions, but very often benefits only himself, refer to Americans as “ordinary.” I’ve also heard the hardest working politician I know, Sen. Bernie Sanders (not concrete pouring work hard working, I mean political work hard working) use the word “ordinary” when describing certain segments of the populous. They’ve both inserted the word “average” in place of “ordinary,” or better yet combined the two. They’ve said and I’m paraphrasing; “This isn’t about helping folks like myself and those who work in Washington, this is about helping ordinary people, average Americans, who get up and work forty or fifty hours a week and can still barely feed their families.” Ah, ya wanna... ya wanna read that back, Barack, Bernie, and whoever else is a know-it-all politician? You have got to be kidding me? Ordinary? Average? Are you folks high on somethin’? You’re all hundreds of times smarter than I am, but I’m not so simple as to ever utter, “This (my comedy show) is not about making folks like myself laugh, it’s about making ordinary people, average folks, who get up and work 40 to 50 hours a week laugh.” You politicians kill me sometimes. You actually—often—refer to us folks as ordinary and average. I appreciate the entertainment you all provide my ordinary ass. (My editor allows me much more space than I’ve used above. I intended to write more about the audacity it takes for someone to use the words ordinary or average, or both, to describe another human being, but I’ve just re-read my work and have concluded my point is clear. No need to explore further. However, I’m going to search all week for ordinary and average people. If I find any, I’ll let you know and I’ll write about them and take back the comments I’ve made above about some of our average politicians.) This column may be continued.

(Not) seeking productivity F
or reasons I choose not to disclose—under the unwritten privacy provisions identified as emanations and penumbras radiating unseen from the fourth item in the Bill of Rights—I found myself in the back seat of a parked car in the multi-acre parking lot of a cluster of big-box stores outside Greenville, Tenn. The only sign of life visible from my car window was a rapidly moving truck-sized motorized sweeper, whose single operator was systematically cleaning up the pavement to prepare for the coming day’s arrival of customers. In a score of minutes he (or was it she?) was done and gone, having spent maybe 30 minutes doing what would have required many hours of hand labor from platoons of men (oops, make that persons) with brooms—and not particularly mind-challenging labor at that. Coming just after dual news reports—one of a new record high in unemployment, the other of a new high in industrial productivity— it was a striking little vignette illustrating the old economist joke about the policy tactic for full employment, in, say construction: to scrap backhoes and issue shovels. Actually, it wasn’t always a joke. During the Great Depression, the Works Progress Administration was famous for using shovel-wielding (as well as shovel-leaning) brigades of hand labor in lieu of the mechanized equipment available even back in the ‘30s. The WPA’s underlying Keynesian-stimulus design intent wasn’t to get actual work done, it was to distribute spendable economic-survival income. The underlying economic paradox—the more primitive your level of technology, the more likely your achievement of full employment—has always meant that increases in productivity, essential for long-term improvements in standard-of-living, will usually bring what economist Joseph Schumpeter called “creative destruction” in his 1942 book “Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy”. (That’s short-term, temporary unemployment as, say, displaced buggy-whip makers become computer chip designers.) One reason food is as historically cheap as it is in the urban Northeast is that there are no more coal-shoveling firemen feeding the fireboxes of steam locomotives. Somewhat more recently than the Great Depression—indeed, in the early ‘60s just as then-computer-industryleader IBM was briefly forecasting that the new machines would never be practical for individual use—public education was, like every other industrial sector, rhapsodizing over the new technology’s ability to capture productivity gains and reduce labor costs while individualizing and improving product –for schools, instructional quality. On the building space-requirement-and-building-layout side, we young designer-draftsmen were attending conferences at which consulting experts told us how much space would be needed for the coming wave of personal-comput-
ers-in-the-classroom. The then-standard prescription (indeed, it is still on the books, although now disregarded in actual classroom design) of 30-square-feet per pupil , minimum room size 750 square feet for a 25student class, even though such once-average-size classes are quite rare now) they told us authoritatively, would have to be doubled so that each student could have a conventional writing surface to his (her) front as well as a computer table to his (her) rear, just as we then had drafting boards forward and reference tables aft in our individual work stations. All this would be a taxpayer bargain because school building space is typically a quarter as expensive as staffing costs, and the great educational-economics promise/reward of the Computer Age was to be inexpensive student self-instruction rising as expensive staffing requirements fell. Just as the diesel locomotive self-fed its fuel, the new schools’ students would self-feed and self-test their own instruction, at their own individualized and customized pace and scope. In the actual event, it never happened. Public education unions made the brigades-with-shovels choice in the ‘70s and ‘80s, rejecting PCs just as they were slowly becoming available, diametrically opposite to the technology-embracing choice the UMW’s John L. Lewis had made in the ‘40s and ‘50s. lewis had declared that with the welcome mechanization of coal-mining there would be fewer miners, but better mining conditions and wages and productivity gains would benefit the standard-of-living of both consumer and producer. The results of these historic decisions show up now in both costs and quality. In 1950, homeowners paid $56 per ton for anthracite coal in year 2000 dollars. By 2000, coal was down to $47 per ton according to the Energy Information Administration. In 1950, taxpayers paid $2,000 per pupil in year 2006 dollars. By 2006 it was up to $10,000, per the National Digest of Educational Statistics. Today’s coal, we old-timers can testify, is cleaner, bettergraded, and more handleable than it was in 1950. However, today’s education, as measured by test scores and curriculum, is—oh well, let’s not go there this week. Retired Vermont architect and planner Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
Couponing's Best-Kept Secrets: Some Days are Better Than Others S
uper-Couponing Secret: The day of the week we shop makes a huge difference how much money we can save. To understand this tip, consider this: Many grocery stores run two sales cycles each week. One flier comes out on Thursday and runs for seven days. This is the "long" cycle, which runs Thursday-to-Wednesday. But the same stores often have a second sales flier that comes out on Sundays and runs for four days. This is the "short" cycle, which runs Sunday-to-Wednesday. Now, look at a calendar and pay attention to the days. There are four days each week when both cycles and sales fliers overlap: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If your store participates in two sales cycles, these are the days you want to shop in order to maximize your savings. By shopping Monday through Wednesday, you gain the advantage of two concurrent sales rather than just one. Why do stores do this? Look at the remaining three days in the week: Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These are busy days for a grocery store. Statistically speaking, they're also the days people are most likely to shop without much forethought. The weekend is approaching, the workweek is almost done and people head to the store. By contrast, when Sunday rolls around and the new week arrives, store traffic drops off. The store issues more sales and more deals on those days in order to drive traffic back into the store. These are the days we want to shop! People often ask me how many times I'm at the grocery store during the week (I can't imagine why, but many people are under the impression that I practically live there!) The truth is much less exciting. I really do shop just once a week. But I always shop on one of days when both sales fliers are active. Another reason to shop earlier in the week is that stores will raise prices on many items later in the week. My store recently had a sale on a brand-name cereal. At $1.25 a box, it was already a great price; with a $1 coupon, I took it home for a quarter. That sale ran Sunday through Wednesday. On Thursday, the same cereal was still on "sale," but the new sale price? $2.50 a box. The price doubled in one day! This is one of those hidden little games the stores
play, too. The same items may be on sale, but the sale price is a lot less attractive as the higher-traffic shopping days approach If you never clipped a single coupon, you would save a great deal of money just by shopping earlier in the week. If I had purchased my cereal on Thursday instead of Wednesday, I would have paid twice the price! Now, think about many other By Jill Cataldo items in the grocery store take similar jumps in prices as the end of the week nears, and you'll see why it makes sense to shop on the days the sales overlap. If you need even more convincing, consider what happens when the same product is on sale in both sales fliers. I've seen crackers on sale for $1.99 in the long-cycle flier while in the short cycle flier, the same crackers were on sale Buy One, Get One Free! The smart shopper who is in the store on the days that the sales overlap, will not only get the crackers for $1.99, they'll take home a second package for free. And if they use a coupon on each box ... Oh, the possibilities! © CTW Features

McDermott promoted to Between a rock wall and a hard place Civil Air Patrol captain Rutland kids learn to rock climb
RUTLAND — The Vermont Country Store has thrown a big rock wall in front of some Rutland-area youth. That’s not a bad thing—in fact, it’s a very good thing. The internationally known store has generously donated scholarship funds for local youngsters to participate with rock climbing activities hosted by the Rutland Recreation Department. The scholarship funds are for programs as well as transportation, recognizing that many low-income kids and their families do not have transportation. A portion of the scholarships are going to three youth members of the Boys & Girls Club of Rutland County to take a rock climbing class. These three elementary school youth will have the opportunity to boulder and climb with the experienced instructors at Rutland’s indoor climbing gym, the Green Mountain Rock Climbing Center. With walls reaching 25 feet high, with over 8,000 square feet of indoor

climbing space, all rental equipment including shoes and harnesses will be provided for. “This place is really cool. The walls are painted to simulate actual rocks and places to climb outside in Vermont,” said Boys & Girls Club member Brianna Smith who received a scholarship. “Mr. Lulik is really nice and I really like his cat.” Steve Lulik, owner of Green Mountain Climbing said, “I feel privileged that the climbing center is there and that there is a great teamwork concept amongst the community members. Working with the Boys & Girls Club and the Rutland Rec. Department to give kids the opportunity in rock climbing and the adventure world- it’s a beautiful alliance.” These rock climbing scholarships awarded to Boys & Girls Club members in collaboration with the Rutland Recreation Department are just one of the many ways the two local organizations have partnered. The Boys & Girls Club of Rutland and the Rutland Recreation Department are planning an expansion and combining of their facilities at Giorgetti Park.

Rutland area K of C men “knighted” By Beth Schaeffer newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — It was a warm and sunny Indian Summer-like day as 44 men from around Vermont were “knighted” at Christ the King Church in Rutland, Nov. 8. The men, degreed members of the Knights of Columbus, received the international Catholic lay order ’s fourth-degree honors along with a parchment certificate; the men were each dubbed with the official title of sir knight. Members of the Msgr. John Brown Assembly 1122 sported formal tuxedos and white sashes as they attended a special ceremony blessed by Bishop Salvatore Matano of Vermont. The men were led into the church by fellow, caped and naval chapeaued knights. Bishop Matano presided over a special mass which followed the knighting service. Several cadets from Norwich University were in attendance, also in
preparation to be knighted. Instead of tuxedos, the cadet-knights wore the Vermont college’s distinctive, 19th century-style blue military uniform. Spouses and family members attended mass following the private, official knighting ceremony. A formal dinner at the Franklin Center in the Howe Center followed the day’s colorful event. Knighted members of Assembly 1122 included Karl Andersen, Richard Blongy, Edward Clark, Leo Fairbanks, David Giancola, Peter Giancola, Robert Holland, Casey McNeil, Rev. Ray Thibodeau, Thomas Valente, Louis Varricchio and Stephen Waite. Throughout most of its 127-year history, the Knights of Columbus have focused quietly on selfless devotion to family, church, community, and nation. Nationwide, knights provide active support to members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Membership in the Knights of Columbus is at an all time high both here and abroad, according to the K of C website.

College earns high marks for hosting elegant mixer By Catherine M. Oliverio newmarketpress@denpubs.com CASTLETON — The Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce mixer, held Nov. 10 at Castleton State College, showcased the campus' latest renovations—its beautiful facilities have thrust the once drowsy state college into the New England limelight. Thanks to the wise leadership of President Dave Wolk and his team of academics and professionals, Castleton State College has matured to become one of Vermont’s top assets. Student-guided tours for Chamber guests included cook’s tours of the new Spartan campus center, gymnasium, and stadium; the stadium sports fully equipped state-of-the art press and alumni skyboxes, lighting, as well as comfortable “alumni” seating above the bleachers, and an ecofriendly field-drainage system. Spicing up the campus affair was the staff of East Creek Catering. Courteous servers presented a unique array of delectable food—martini lounge glasses filled with whipped potatoes and topped with your choice of broccoli, bacon bits, diced chicken, and herbs. The serving of classy spuds was finished off with a choice of three different sauces, herbcrusted tenderloin, and sauteed shrimp in garlic and sherry. An assortment of cheesecake lollipops, pumpkin spice cake, and more was also presented to guests. Castleton’s all-student group “Vocal Unrest” entertained the guests with its talented a cappella tunes. Chamber officials and local sponsors followed up with a generous bounty of door prizes and raffle items. Last week’s campus mixer deserves a repeat performance.

By Frederick Pockette The Essex Hornets jumped out to a 27-7 halftime lead and cruised from there to a convincing 48-14 win over the Rutland Raiders in the Division I High School Football State Championship game played last Friday night at Burlington High School. The win not only secured the state title for the Hornets, but it wrapped up a perfect season for them, finishing at 11-0. Essex quarterback Max Librizzi had a fantastic night, directing an effective arial assault. Librizzi completed 24 of 29 pass attempts for 386 yards and three touchdowns. He added a rushing touchdown to complete the performance. Even though Librizzi spread the wealth among his receivers, Evan McCrea became his most used target. McCrea had eight catches for 81 yards and a touchdown. He also scored a rushing touchdown, and found the end zone again on a punt return. Adam Picard had 4 catches for 68 yards, and a touchdown. Picard contributed a rushing touchdown as well to the convincing win. Pat Nee had 4 receptions for 113 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown catch. It was Essex first crown since 1992. Jon Sullivan had a two-yard touchdown run for the Rutland Raiders, who wrap up their season at 7-4. Lake Monsters St. Johnsbury native Nate Cloutier has been named General Manager of the Vermont Lake Monsters, the New YorkPenn League baseball team announced today. Cloutier, who has worked for the Lake Monsters since 2002 and has been the team’s Assistant General Manager since 2007, is just the fourth General Manager in the franchise’s 17year history. He replaces C.J. Knudsen, who resigned as Vermont’s GM on Oct. 29. “I have spent the last eight seasons with this ball club preparing to be in this spot.

MSJ student named merit scholar
Tyler Sanborn, a senior at Mount St. Joseph Academy, is hard at work in the high school's modern computer lab. RUTLAND--Mount St. Joseph Academy senior R. Tyler Sanborn has been named a commended student in the 2010 National Merit Scholarship Program for placing in the top five percent of students tested nationwide. "Tyler Sanborn is a well-rounded student and an exemplary representative of MSJ," Principal Paolo Zancanaro stated, adding he also is the president of the National Honor Society and Student Government, captain of the golf team, and a Sole of MSJ's Shoestring Theater. Sanborn is one of about 34,000 Commended Students being recognized nationwide for their exceptional academic promise. Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2010 competition by taking the 2008 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), although they will not continue in the 2010 competition for National Merit Scholarships. A letter of commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by Zancanaro to Sanborn as a scholastically talented senior.

Football From page 1 stated that school officials "look forward to the day when the program has rebuilt its numbers and MSJ petitions the VPA to return MSJ to a higher division." Athletic Director Marty McDonough said, "The board has made a decision in the best interest of our student-athletes that will be the first step in bringing MSJ football back to where it was." McDonough said he believes that student-athletes will continue to choose MSJ for its academic and athletic programs. MSJ's Head Coach Chip Forte said whether the school is "Division I, II, or III, we still need players to be successful at any level." "Sometimes you have to take a couple steps back to take the giant leap forward." Forte said. "MSJ offers a great opportunity for a lot of kids athletically and academically. That doesn't change." Zancanaro said MSJ has a long-standing and competitive history in Division I football. "This year and throughout the years, our scholar-athletes who elected to participate in the football program have done so with great pride, talent and true MSJ spirit," he wrote. "MSJ is proud of this tradition and the level of excellence at which the program has functioned throughout its long history as a Division I team. "Our football student-athletes this season are to be particularly commended," Zancanaro said. "Their spirit, grit and determination throughout a difficult season are an inspiration to all of us." The decision was made by the Rutland Catholic Schools Board and school administration, he said, adding there also was a meeting with parents, coaches and others associated with the football program heard concerns Oct. 28. "Our scholar athletes have been nothing but upstanding in their pursuit of excellence on the gridiron. I and the MSJ community are proud of their industriousness and their sense of conviction," Zancanaro said. "We're proud of all the accomplishments of our scholar athletes, whether in football or any other sport.
ALL STARS — Three Mt. St. Joseph Academy athletes were invited to play in the annual North vs. South Vermont High School All-Star Football Game Nov 21: Lee John Bison, Chris Reedy and Louis Altobell. After much soul-searching, MSJ will transition football play from Division I to Division III next year.
