Remembering Joseph Foley

Remains of missing Rutland man discovered

RUTLAND — Joseph Michael Foley, age 98, of Rutland, died peacefully with his family at his side at his home on Nov. 18. He was born at home on Forest Street in Rutland, April 14, 1911, the youngest of four Joseph Michael Foley children of Michael Joseph and Mary (Reardon) Foley. He attended St. Peter's School and was a 1929 graduate of Rutland High School. Foley attended the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. During his junior year, his father died; he was called home to take over the family laundry business with his only brother, John. Foley's Laundry is the longest-running familyowned business in the state of Vermont. Foley Services of Rutland City holds the distinction of being the oldest, continuously running, privately-owned commercial laundry in the nation. He was a lifelong member of Christ the King Church in Rutland, a member of the Holy Name Society, a fourth-degree member of the Knights of Columbus and was the oldest lifetime member of the Rutland Country Club. Foley was on the board of directors of the Rutland Hospital during the transition from Nichols Street to Allen Street. He was the devoted father of Maryanne Billings and her husband Preston of Rutland Town, Michele Buzzell and her husband Robert of Mendon and Kathryn Fagan and her husband Michael of Clifton Park, N.Y.; two sons, Joseph M. Foley of New Windsor, N.Y., and Mark K. Foley and his wife Nancy of Rutland Town; 10 grandchildren, Mark Foley Jr., Megan Foley, Joseph, Patricia and Katie Fagan, Brian and Jessie Billings, Breanna and Allison Buzzell and Brendan Foley; four greatgrandchildren, Jack, Abagail and John Foley and Kylie Fagan; nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife, Margaret (Smith) Foley, who died April 19,

CUTTINGSVILLE — On May 17, 2005 the Vermont State Police began a search for William “Mike” Hogan, after his friends reported him missing. Hogan had been visiting friends in the Shrewsbury area on May 16 that year and was in the vicinity of the Spring Lake Ranch Road when he was last seen. Hogan lived in Rutland at the time, and he did not return William “Mike” Hogan home that evening. Although the circumstances regarding Hogan’s disappearance did not appear suspicious, the Vermont State Police initiated an investigation and have made numerous efforts to locate Hogan over the last approximately four and a half years. These efforts included numerous ground searches in the area of Spring Lake Ranch, the utilization of K-9s, and most recently a search of a nearby lake was conducted this past summer. However, all of these searches were unsuccessful and provided no new information on the whereabouts of Mr. Hogan. Along with the Vermont State Police, several law enforcement agencies and civilians from Vermont and other states have participated in these searches. The family of Mr. Hogan have also actively assisted in the investigation and also made efforts to locate their son during this time. Also, since 2005, numerous tips and reported sightings have been pursued and investigated by State Police Detectives. On the morning of Nov. 15 this year, a hunter, while walking through the woods, located what appeared to be a human skull in the woods of Cuttingsville. Detectives from the VSP Rutland Barracks responded and an initial search of the immediate area where the skull was located was conducted. When no other remains were located, the skull was transported to the Vermont Office of the Chief Medical Examiner where a positive identification was made using dental records on today’s date. Although these remains have been positively identified as those of William “Mike “ Hogan, the Vermont State Police investigation is still ongoing at this time and a further search of the area and surrounding area where the skull was located for additional remains will be conducted. However, there still is no new information to indicate the circumstances of Hogan’s disappearance is suspicious at this time. According to VSP Det./Lt. Tim Oliver of Rutland, missing person’s cases are often some of the most

Adopt a pet for the holidays As the weather starts getting colder, it’s not too soon to think about your holiday gift-giving. At the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS), we believe the bond between a family and pet is unique to each situation, taking time and thoughtful selection. Because of this, RCHS does not support the practice of giving animals as surprise gifts and will not adopt an animal out as such. Our experience has repeatedly shown that the best and most long-lasting matches between animals and their adopters occur when the adopter is fully involved in the process. However, we do want to support anyone who thinks of the shelter as the first and best place to get a pet and so we offer gift certificates. Anyone who is interested in paying the adoption fee for a friend or family member will receive a gift certificate that can be presented as a surprise (all of our regular adoption guidelines will still apply to the recipient). Please call the shelter at 483-6700 or visit Wednesday-Saturday from 1-5 for more information.

Humane Society to start building renovations

6 month old. Neutered Male. Guinea Pig. What a cutie I am. I was surrendered with my two brother Licorice and Marmalade because our owner had too many and could not care for us any longer.

Selena 1 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Black and White. I arrived on November 4 as a stray and you can see I am a looking a little shy because of all the changes that have happened to me lately. Give me a little time and I will shower you with purrs and plenty of lap time.

PITTSFORD — The Board of Directors of the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) recently approved building renovations at the shelter on Stevens Road in Pittsford. The renovation project will address serious inadequacies in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, will improve work and animal traffic flow and will significantly reduce cross contamination of materials and exposure to pathogens for the resident animals. Additionally, changing to more efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems will help lower costs and cut the shelter ’s carbon emissions. RCHS Executive Director Gretchen Goodman, discussed the current HVAC system explaining that “it currently operates at less than 20 percent of industry standards for air exchange.” Originally built in 1968, the non-public work area of the building is a converted 1960s apartment whose rooms are poorly designed for the uses they now see. Designed by John Berryhill of NBF Architects in Rutland the project was awarded to Naylor and Breen Builders of Brandon and will take approximately three months to complete. Private donations and the humane society’s savings will fund the project.

Of course, the softer the better and a lap would be wonderful. I’m independent, work well under pressure (I now share a room with 10 other cats) and snack breaks are a must.

NORTH CLARENDON — Restaurant operator Dan King plans to open “The Plane Bagel” in the terminal of the Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport in North Clarendon. According to an airport source, the snack bar will open Dec. 1. Peter Fisk, president of Green Mountain Flyers EAA chapter located at the airport, told fellow pilots in a recent e-mail announcement that, “King has been cleaning, supplying and organizing, looking forward to being open on a schedule of weekdays, from about 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., with a menu of breakfast items including homemade bagels followed by lunch with soup, sandwiches and salads. He is looking at a limited weekend schedule and will publish that soon on his web site www.theplanebagel.com.” King’s airport restaurant website is currently under development. Until King’s announcement, the airport’s restaurant had remained vacant since the early 2000s.

Sun-power project is a team effort CVPS, local firm, IBEW, school pitch in

RUTLAND TOWN — Central Vermont Public Service hired Rutland and Royalton companies to build the first major solar project in the state to feed power exclusively onto the grid, rather than use it on-site. CV Solar and Wind, a small Rutland company, and ReKnew Energy Systems Inc. of South Royalton have built the 50-kilowatt solar array along Route 7, just south of the iconic water tower near the CVPS Rutland District Service Center. “This project will not only provide clean, renewable energy and give CVPS first-hand experience with PV technology, but due to its location just feet from Route 7 in Rutland Town, it will become a tremendous educational tool,” CVPS President Bob Young said earlier this year. “CV Solar and Wind and ReKnew were selected as the contractors for their technical skill and experience, and their dedication to making this project a ‘classroom’ for Vermonters of all ages.” Young said the solar project will play host to visits from thousands of school children each year through collaborative efforts of the three companies. CV Solar and Wind, started by John Blittersdorf in Rutland in 1996, was the overwhelming choice of a panel of CVPS employees involved in the project. “John Blittersdorf ’s enthusiasm and expertise were unmatched by any of the companies that bid,” CVPS project leader Marty Bowen said in February. “His excitement and his commitment to partner with us to educate Vermonters about renewable energy scored high points in our decision matrix.” Blittserdorf, a Pittsford native who has used solar and wind energy to power his off-the-grid Chittenden home for three decades, said the CV site offered a tremendous opportunity. “Not only will this project be among the biggest solar installations in the state, it will be a symbol to the hundreds of thousands of people who will drive by it each year on the Route 7 corridor,” Blittersdorf said earlier this year. “We are thrilled to be a partner in the project.” Under an agreement between the companies, members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers will complete the high-voltage electrical work, and students from the Stafford Technical Center will get hands-on educational experience installing the panels. “We wanted to make full use of this project as an educational tool, and continue to build on our strong relationship with the IBEW,” Young said in February. “CV Solar ’s excitement about working with both groups was a big plus. Some bidders said they would do so, but CV Solar ’s enthusiasm was obvious and genuine.” The solar project includes over 200 solar panels, each 3 by 5 feet wide. The project, along with Glen Station, a CVPS hydro facility across the highway, will include a renewable education program where students will learn about two renewable projects at one site.

A sky full of galaxies

he constellation Canis Major has a lot to offer amateur astronomers. This easily identified constellation includes a number of “island universes”; it even contains a stunning example of two colliding galaxies photographed by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope cameras. Here’s a lineup of a few of the galaxies and star clusters lurking within Canis Major. I have provided magnitude numbers in parentheses for telescope and binocular observers. According to SUNY Stony Brook astronomer Aaron Evans, “Very bright objects have negative magnitudes. For example, Sirius, the brightest star of the celestial sphere, has an apparent magnitude of -1.4. The modern scale includes the Moon and the Sun; the full Moon has an apparent magnitude of -12.6 and the Sun has an apparent magnitude of -26.73. The Hubble Space Telescope has located stars with magnitudes of +30 at visible wavelengths and the Keck telescopes have located similarly faint stars in the infrared.” Here’s a sampling of Canis Major’s deep sky objects: Basel 11A (+8.2), Cr 121 (+2.6), Cr 132 (+3.6), Cr 140 (+3.5), Haffner 6 (+9.2), Haffner 8 (+9.1), M 41 (+4.5), NGC 2204 (+8.6), NGC 2243 (+9.4), NGC 2345 (+7.7), NGC 2354 (+6.5), NGC 2360 (+7.2), NGC 2362 (+4.1 naked eye in a very dark sky), NGC 2367 (+7.9), NGC 2374 (+8.0), NGC 2383 (+8.4), NGC 2384 (+7.4), NGC 2396 (+7.4), Ru 18 (+9.4) Ru 20 (+9.5), Tr 6 (+10.0). Most observed of Canis Major’s objects is the open cluster M41 (aka NGC 2287)—it’s the only “M” or Charles Messier object in the constellation. M41 is located south of the star Sirius and is approximately 195 million years old. Most of M41’s approximately 100 stars are aging from the main sequence growth stage to the red-giant stage. If you’d like to try your hand at deep-sky astrophotography, M41 is a good target; its red-giant stars provide rich colors with long-exposure photography. Two other Canis Major galaxies worth mentioning are NGC 2207 and IC 2163, located 144 million light years from Earth. Vast gravitational forces emanating from NGC 2207 are stretching and contorting IC 2163. As a result, IC 2163 is in the process of flinging streams of plasma and dust 200,000 light years into space. Both galaxies will continue this slow motion head-on collision for millions, perhaps billions of years. When the collision stops—and the titanic event will eventually come to rest—both galaxies will cease to exist as separate entities. The afterbirth will form a completely new galaxy, a galaxy that will incorporate the stars and planets from the original structures.

The case of the confused cashier H

as this ever happened to you? You finish filling your cart with the week’s groceries, head to the checkout lane and place your items on the conveyor belt. The cashier announces the total and you hand over a nice stack of coupons. Then, the cashier pauses. You hear the words, "I don’t think we take coupons from the Internet." The cashier hands them back to you and you ponder what to do next. While most of my shopping trips run very smoothly, occasionally even your Coupon Queen encounters a cashier issue or two. So what do we shoppers do? One of our biggest tools to deal with checkout problems is the store’s coupon policy. Most stores have a written policy that states exactly how they handle coupons presented in the checkout lane. Many stores post the policies on their Web sites and others have a copy at the customer service counter in the store itself. What’s in a coupon policy? Information that shoppers can use to better plan our shopping trips! Coupon policies state specifics such as, We accept Internet coupons, We accept expired coupons or We accept competitors’ coupons. Everything we need to know about what kinds of coupons our stores should accept is spelled out for us right in the store’s policy. Armed with this knowledge, well-informed shoppers know exactly what coupons our stores should accept! The most commonly heard issue with cashiers does involve the store’s acceptance of printable Internet coupons. If you’re told that the store does not accept them, ask to see a copy of the store’s coupon policy. Most grocery stores and supermarkets do accept Internet coupons that are legitimately printed and are not photocopies. Unfortunately, due to the rise in coupon fraud, stores are getting more stringent about the kinds of Internet coupons that they will accept. Most legitimate Internet coupons contain a unique ID or barcode identifier and several other key features that stores use to ascertain a coupon’s validity. And any time the Coupon Information Corporation, a nonprofit organization that monitors coupon fraud, identifies a new, counterfeit coupon, it sends stores an alert to watch for coupons known to be fraudulent or counterfeit.

However, when a fraud alert goes out, sometimes it has a ripple effect. Our stores learn that a new counterfeit coupon has been spotted in circulation. Instead of homing in on the specific coupon mentioned in the alert, some cashiers may find it easier not to accept any Internet coupons. This not only hurts shoppers, it hurts stores, too, since the large number of By Jill Cataldo Internet coupons are legitimate and perfectly fine for the store to accept. Marketers reimburse stores for the full value of every coupon shoppers redeem, whether the coupon ran in the newspaper, appeared in newspaper inserts, was found on a product package or was printed legitimately from the Internet. Would you like another piece of the cashier/coupon policy puzzle? I’ve heard from many cashiers that they get very little training on their store’s coupon policy. This puts coupon-savvy shoppers in an unusual situation. It’s possible that you may be more familiar with a store’s coupon policy than the cashier is. If you find yourself in this situation, never force the issue. Simply ask the cashier to check the store’s policy with the manager. You can politely let the cashier know that you’ve read it to make sure that all of the coupons you’re presenting are acceptable. A cashier issue most likely stems from a little confusion that isn’t the cashier ’s fault at all. A cashier who questions your coupons may simply be trying to protect the store and do what they believe is right. We’ll continue to discuss commonly heard cashier coupon issues in the weeks ahead.

Vermont students: Top of the class or not?

n mid-October, the Rutland Herald reported that “Vermont’s students are at the top of the class” in math, according to this year ’s federal NAEP tests of 4th and 8th graders, placing behind only New Hampshire and Massachusetts in numerical proficiency. Education Commissioner Vilaseca was jubilant, calling his students well-performing—the same self-congratulatory wording quoted in the Herald as used by Rutland Superintendent Moran and Barstow School Principal Prescott. What they curiously didn’t mention was the percentage of their young charges actually scoring “proficient”. That number is 51 percent. The other 49 percent didn’t achieve the “ability to function at grade level” measure, and are less-than-proficient in math. When you add in the other disciplines –reading, science, history, and so on—the overall proficiency accomplishment of the public schools is in the 30 to 40 percent range. If you, in the private sector, produced a product line at least half of which don’t work as expected you’d experience customer dissatisfaction and lose market share in a hurry. The statistics show public education is losing market share to non-public alternatives, although surprisingly slowly, given a product-inadequacy rate of half in some disciplines, about 2/3 in others. Just because your competitor across the stateline has an even higher unsatisfactory percentage won’t help your sales, particularly when your cost of production is among the highest in the nation. Under those circumstances, maybe your best option is to advertise your output as “excellent”, knowing it isn’t, and hope your choice of language is convincing. That, I suppose, explains why so many public schools in Vermont (and other states as well) display the word “excellence” on their front-lawn bulletin board. I also suppose that Vermont’s educrats were deeply influenced by a youthful viewing of the 1965 movie “My Fair Lady”, a remake of George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion”, the stageplay-to-movie version in which Professor Henry Higgins selects a forlorn specimen of the London underclass off the mean streets and raises her socio-economic status by teaching her to speak English properly. “The French don’t care what you do as long as you pronounce it correctly,” the phonetics professor observes. Perhaps Higgins is the source for the official evaluation of Vermont public education; in Prescott’s words, “It’s great to see Vermont doing so well.” I’d say that the Higgins Principle enjoys remarkable currency amongst Vermont’s public educators. If your notion of “doing well” embraces a 51 percent proficiency rate in math, you can claim superiority to almost all other states; indeed, the 2007 National Digest of Educational Statistics showed the U.S. average for 4th grade math at 239 (out of a possible 500), compared to a Vermont average score of 246. That’s 39 percent proficient, nationally, compared to 49 percent less than half) proficient in-state. If you are careful not to mention the actual numerical proficiency rate in your public statements, you’ll be equal-

ly carefully to avoid the NAEP stats for proficiency in ethnic grouping. The 2007 NDES shows the 4th grade reading results. Vermont, a statistically all-white state, came in at 229. The U.S. white cohort average (not an overall total average typically depressed somewhat by lower minority scores) was 230. Adjusted for race, Vermont students aren’t “top of the class” (using the Herald’s language), but a point below the national average. Marginally better stats were posted in 8th grade science, wherein statistically-all-white Vermont came in at 162 (the U.S. white average was 159, the black average was 123). Virginia’s white students scored better at 165. Going similarly unmentionable by the commissioner and other Vermont educators are the annual per-pupil cost data, which, taken in conjunction with test scores, furnish an indicator of educational productivity. The 2007 NDES reported that, for 2005, Vermont spent $12,783, when the U.S. average was $10,071 and Virginia, a State with better scores in some disciplines, spent $10,030. In contrast, previous Vermont Commissioner Richard Cate took considerable verbal pride in both Vermont low class size and high annual per-pupil spending; he explained that policy factors were responsible for Vermont’s impressive test scores and that—like the shampoo-purchasing lady in the advertisement—we’re worth it. The Rutland Herald put the Higgins gloss on it: In an Oct. 16 editorial, the editors assert that “Vermont’s high test rankings” show that the “low student-teacher ratio is good for students but hard on taxpayers” without ever mentioning Utah, which has the highest p/t ratio in the nation (22 compared to Vermont’s 11) has roughly half the per-pupil spending cost as a result, and whose students came in at 262 for 8th grade reading, 1 point above the 261 U.S. average, and 11 points below the 273 Vermont average, but at half the Vermont cost. All these mid-200s scores are about half of the possible 500, which explains why all the proficiency percentages cluster in the 30-to-40 range, meaning that a clear majority of students—U.S., Vermont and Utah—can’t read well enough to even make proficient. Sometimes it’s politically expedient to pronounce correctly, but not to recite the stats. As for the obvious educator objective—that is, bringing most of their students to “proficiency”—some Vermont officials have been claiming that actually getting students literate and numerate isn’t in their job description. Retired Vermont school architect Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.

Rutland sex abuser to lose everything RUTLAND — Rutland resident Allan E. Patrick, age 58, lost everything this week—his home and life’s savings will be seized by the U.S. government. The sex abuser was convicted of videotaping children having sex between 2000 and 2002. One of Patrick’s victims was an 8 year old. Patrick will serve 12 years and seven months in jail for the crime. His property, located on Royce Street, and retirement savings—all valued at $149,700—were seized by the U.S. government. He will have to pay his five victims a total of $142,500. Patrick’s case was transferred to U.S. District Court earlier this year. Judge J. Garvan Murtha presided at the Nov. 18 sentencing. “The seriousness of the offenses is horrendous which is why I'm sentencing you to 151 months," Judge Murtha said to Patrick from the bench. At the trial, a grandmother of one of the young victims said, in tears, “They trusted him and he violated that.” Patrick apologized to the victims in the court room. “I'm very sorry... I know I hurt you and I hope the restitution will take care of your treatment and I hope you lead good and healthy lives,” he said.

Rutland Town School receives Tapestry honor RUTLAND TOWN — The State of Vermont Child Development Division, Department for Children and Families announced that the Rutland Public School Tapestry Program located at Rutland Town School has achieved five star renewal in the Step Ahead Recognition System (STARS). This will be the start of year two in the STARS system for this program. The Tapestry Program currently has four Five-Star programs: Rutland Intermediate School, Northeast Primary, Northwest Primary and Rutland Town School. Diana Pfenning, executive director, reports that achieving STARS recognition is an accomplishment that demonstrates commitment to providing quality afterschool care and education for Vermont’s children.

The Rutland Town School Tapestry Program also achieved National Afterschool Accreditation in 2008. NAA accreditation symbolizes excellence and our accountability and ongoing commitment to the children we serve. Pfenning acknowledged that it is through the dedication, hard work, support and commitment of the school administration, school staff and Tapestry staff that these accomplishments are possible.

Chaffee to exhibit state art collection RUTLAND — The Chaffee Art Center will host the Art of Vermont from Nov. 20 through Dec. 31. The Art of Vermont is a sampling of the state art collection. It will open on November 20 with a reception from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Chaffee Art Center. The Vermont Arts Council and Vermont Department of Buildings and General Services have organized a traveling exhibit to share Vermont's substantial art collection with every part of the state. The exhibit represents a small sampling of works collected over a century and a half, including those commissioned through the 20-year-old Art in State Buildings Program. Both endeavors reveal the breadth of artistic quality in this collection, all owned by the people of Vermont.

Students link up with Rutland Free Library for highway safety Recently, students from the Vermont Teen Leadership Safety Program Chapters in Proctor High School and Stafford Technical Center began a partnership with the Rutland Free Library in Rutland which is aimed at reducing excessive speed on roads and highways and the many crashes which result from speeding. At the winter meeting of the Vermont Teen Leadership Safety Program (VTLSP), an organization of high school students from about 40 Vermont schools, which focuses on highway safety issues, the students decided that they wanted to work on a project to reduce the incidence of speeding and the deaths and injuries resulting from speeding. They came up with a theme for the campaign, “Slow Down, Stick Around.” The theme would be printed on ribbons and would have a card explaining the risks of speeding attached. The plan originally was to disseminate these ribbons at highway rest areas and visitors centers, but when they were done, some additional venues were discussed- auto body and repair shops, chambers of commerce, and car dealers. Someone else recognized that the ribbons would make excellent book marks, and would tend to be used over and over, so libraries became sites to give out the ribbons and cards. Some of the facts involving speeding are: 36% of all fatal motorcycle crashes

Pictured above are (left to right) Dan Amesburry, Cameo Bixby-Clemons, Lt. Kevin Geno, Rutland PD, Jonathan Giffin, Ashley Barnes and Kayla Jones. are speed related, as speed goes up, the likelihood of a fatality increases, and young males are the most likely to be involved in a fatal speed-related crash. The students involved in delivering the basket full of ribbons and cards to Dan Amesburry, the assistant director of the Rutland Free Library were: Taylor Trombley of Proctor High School and her VTLSP Advisor, Claire Molner,

two students from Rutland High School’s GMTI Program, Jonathan Giffin and Cameo Bixby- Clemons, Lt. Kevin Geno of the Rutland City Police Department, Rutland County Sheriff Stephen Benard, and two Stafford Technical Center students, Kayla Jones of Tinmouth, and Ashley Barnes of Rutland.

Vermont taxes: Fair or unfair burden? From News & Staff Reports

34596

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Vermont has done better than many states to tax according to ability to pay, but low- and middle-income Vermonters still pay more of their income in state and local taxes than do those in the highest income brackets. That is the finding of a new report released last week by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy based in Washington, D.C. “Vermont lawmakers may be forced to make difficult tax and spending decisions in the upcoming year,” said Matthew Gardner, ITEP’s executive director and lead author of the study, titled “Who Pays? A Distributional Analysis of the Tax Systems in All 50 States”. “They should be mindful that the Vermont tax system already falls most heavily on the very poorest families in the state,” Gardner said. According to the study, which was based on taxpayers under 65, the poorest 20 percent of Vermont families are paying, on average, 8.2 percent of their income in state and local taxes, while the richest 5 percent of Vermont families pay 7.5 percent on average. For the middle-fifth of Vermont families, those with income between $34,000 and $54,000, 9.4 percent of their income, on average, goes to state and local taxes, the report found. “No one would ever design an income tax with lower tax rates for the best-off taxpayers,” Gardner said. “But that is exactly what Vermont’s tax system overall does: it allows the very wealthiest individuals to contribute less of their income, on average, than middle- and lower-income families must pay. In other words, Vermont has an unfair, regressive tax system.” Gardner claims Vermont sales and excise taxes fall more heavily on low- and middle-income taxpayers than on the wealthy. The Vermont income tax is progressive: the middle fifth of Vermont families pay, on average, 1.7 percent of their income in income taxes, while the richest 1 percent pay, on average, 5.4 percent of their income in income taxes. Taken

all together, however, the entire tax structure is tilted in favor of those with higher incomes. Not everyone agrees with ITEP’s findings. Long-time Vermont tax policy critic Martin Harris said, “The findings of the ITEP Report are highly distorted and the ITEP folks should know better. There’s no mention of monetization of the value of food stamps, subsidized housing, or even Dr. Dinosaur, and applying those amounts as imputed income to the lower-income quintiles.” “The amounts are substantial: a Vermont family of four, for example, with MFI below $27,000, gets $668 per month in food stamps,” Harris said. “That government freebie alone raises the real disposable MFI to over $34,000. And for Vermont families in the middle- and upper-income quintiles, money spent on food is after taxes not before.” Harris noted that Vermont’s lower-income sectors get dollar-valued benefits in food, housing, medical services, even college scholarships. “If added to their nominal income, this would reduce the actual percentage paid out in taxes by that sector,” he said.

Castleton honors Religious Services fall sports teams

The Castleton State College Department of Athletics honored the 2009 President's Cup Winnersfall sports teams at an awards ceremony on Nov. 19. All nine teams were honored for a very successful fall sports season, and team most valuable player awards were given. Every Castleton team this fall earned a spot in its respective conference tournament, with women's tennis bringing home the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Championship. Team Most Valuable Player Awards: Fall Most Vauable Players Men's Cross Country: Nohea King. Just a freshman, King was honored by the conference as an all-conference second team selection, and earned a weekly award on four different occasions during the season. King won his first collegiate race, the Johnson State Invitational, and was the top Spartan finisher in every race this season. Women's Cross Country: Maggie Klein. Klein earns her second-straight team MVP award, as she led the Spartan women in every race she entered. The junior won two races this season and was a six-time recipient of the NAC Runner of the Week award, winning the first six weeks she competed. Klein finished runner up in the NAC Championship, earning a spot on the All-NAC First Team, and narrowly missed a podium finish at the ECAC Championships. In the NCAA Regional Qualifier, Klein avenged her loss at the NAC Championship, defeating the conference champion by 47 seconds. Football: Tyler Carpenter. Fittingly, the first-ever touchdown in Castleton history went to the freshman running back Carpenter. He followed that up with 13 more on the season, ranking second in the conference and earning all-conference first team honors. Carpenter was fourth in the league, averaging 93.7 rushing yards per game. The freshman back was honored by the league on two different occasions this season, earning Rookie of the Week and Offensive Player of the Week in weeks eight and nine respectively. Field Hockey: Molly Fraher. Fraher earns her first Most Valuable Player award in her senior season. Fraher piloted the Spartans to the second-seed in the NAC Tournament, earning all-conference first-team honors. Fraher ranked second on the team with nine goals, and provided leadership to a young Spartan squad. Men's Golf: Eric Slosek. Slosek was named MVP for the second-straight season as he led the Spartans to a runner-up finish in the NAC Championship. Slosek was named NAC Golfer of the Week after leading the Spartans to a win at the Utica Invitational, shooting a 75 to earn medalist honors. Men's Soccer: Mike Anthony. Anthony earns team MVP for the second time, bookending a fantastic career with the awards as a freshman and now in his senior season. Anthony was named NAC Goalie of the Year for the third-straight season, posting six shutouts and a 1.23 goals against average. Anthony was named NAC and ECAC Player of the Week after earning a 2-0 shutout at Plymouth State, leading Castleton to its first win over the Panthers since 1976. Women's Soccer: Katie Hoxsie. Hoxsie wraps up her career with her first MVP award in what was a stellar year for the senior defender. Hoxsie earned NAC and ECAC Player of the Week honors after leading Castleton to a 1-0 win over Husson University during the season, scoring the lone goal and shutting down the opponent's biggest scoring threat. The marking back earned all-conference first-team honors for her efforts, her fourth appointment to the all-conference team. Hoxsie was an integral part in Castleton's undefeated conference regular season, and impressive 854 minute scoreless streak at Spartan Stadium. Women's Tennis: Michelle Podnecky. Podnecky earns her second-straight team MVP award as a sophomore, going 11-2 this season and earning Conference Player of the Year honors. Podnecky won her last 10-consecutive singles matches on the season, including the number-one singles title in the NAC Championship. Women's Volleyball: Jamie Lemieux. Lemieux wraps up her four-year career with her fourth-straight MVP award. Lemieux led the team in kills (276), aces (82), and blocks (41). She was named all-conference first-team for the second-straight season and earned NAC Player of the Week three times in leading the Spartans to the NAC Final Four for the first time in program history.
