WBTN Forum Planned for Public Comment on Community Information Needs

WBTN 1370 AM, non-profit community radio for the greater Bennington area, and its non-profit owner Shires Media Partnership Inc., are convening a regional meeting at the Bennington Free Library on Thursday, February 28 to gather public comment and advice on how it can meet the information needs of its listenership area. WBTN 1370 AM’s signal reaches Bennington, Southwestern Vermont and nearby New York, but its Web streaming reaches around the world. The meeting will take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the library and the public is invited. Light snacks will be available for those missing dinner. In addition to members of the Shires Media governing board and WBTN staff, community information experts from Washington, D.C., and Burlington will also attend. “We’re asking the public to tell us how they get information and how we can be part of their information network,” said Ken Norris, Executive Director of WBTN. “We want to know not only where they get their local news, arts and entertainment, but where they get information about what is important in their lives: jobs, housing, taxes, safety, education, transportation, child care, health care and religion.” Board members of Shires Media, which began operating Bennington’s locally owned radio station last year, plan for the meeting to be a first step in assessing whether the organization can serve the community in a variety of ways, not just on the radio dial. Shires Media and WBTN are seeking to hear comments from representatives of schools, media, businesses, agencies, community groups and the general public. “WBTN has a long history of community service,” said Robert Howe, volunteer board chairman of Shires Media and resident of North Bennington. “But the Internet is changing the way community information is created and used. As Shires Media seeks grant and foundation support, we need to understand what civic information southwestern Vermont most urgently needs, and look to see if we can provide services which help meet those needs.” The importance of small towns, not just major cities, holding meetings to assess their information needs in a digital age was recommended by the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a report released last year (downloadable from www.knight.com). Physical copies of the report will be available free to the public at the Bennington library several days before the meeting but a key excerpt may be downloaded from www.newshare.com/knight-excerpt.pdf. A sharp drop in revenues and numbers of reporters at major U.S. newspapers was a key factor prompting the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to establish the commission in 2008 and ask that its members hold hearings and report on the state of America’s civic media. The commission was co-chaired by a key executive of Google, Inc. and a former U.S. solicitor general. It included media, government, academic, business and public representatives, including a librarian. WBTN is a community non-profit radio station dedicated to providing the greater Bennington area with local news and entertainment focusing on community produced programs. WBTN 1370 AM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit which operates out of offices and studio at 407 Harwood Hill, Bennington. For information on WBTN 1370 AM, visit www.wbtnam.org, e-mail info@wbtnam.org, or call 802-442-6321.

Sacred Heart St. Francis de Sales Celebrates Catholic Schools Week

■

Patriots Too Much for Bulldogs — by Patrick Morrissey The Mount Anthony Patriots boys’ basketball team faced off with rivals Burr & Burton Bulldogs on Monday. The game consisted of up and down action as the Patriots came out on top, 73-54. The Patriots were led by senior Kyle Callanan with 17 points and junior Clayton Palmer with 16 points and 9 rebounds. Callanan also added nine assists to push him to the top of the assist leaders in the MAU record books. In addition to the usual performers, Mount Anthony was helped by junior Chad Pulver, who came off the bench with 13 points. The Bulldogs came out fast holding a lead into the second quarter, but were eventually overpowered by the size of the Patriots up and down the lineup. The Patriots have another test on Friday as Wahconah comes to town, and the Bulldogs put their 0-2 league record to the test against Brattleboro on Thursday.

MAU Lady Patriots Fall to Pittsﬁeld — by Patrick Morrissey The Mount Anthony Lady Patriots came up short against the Pittsfield High School Generals back on January 13, as they were beat 59-42. After the Patriots scored the opening basket, the Generals took control on both ends, as they held the lead for the rest of the game. The Patriots were led by the inside force of Kourtney Hewitt with 18 points and 12 rebounds, only to be outdone by five Generals in double figure points. In the second half, Pittsfield took off with 10 straight points and a 17-2 run to put the game out of reach. The Lady Patriots will have played on Wednesday, January 20 against Rutland for a tough Marble Valley League match-up. _________________________________________________

From My Corner

Valentine’s Day Dinner and Dance

— by Susan J. Coons I’m going to be raffling off a piece of furniture that I painted to benefit women and children in Haiti who have suffered amputations, without the benefit of anesthesia. Tens of thousands of organizations, schools, church groups, and more here in America and around the world are moving forward with humanitarian help for earthquake victims in that country. But helping out comes with a cost in our own country. The cost of criticism. Yes, we should help Americans. Yes, our schools need funds. Yes, there are amputees and burn victims here. Yes, yes, and yes. However, here in America we have systems in place to get help for those who are destitute. Unfortunately, it takes a disaster for us to act. I didn’t think about raffling off this piece of art before now. I could have done it two years ago to benefit the Shriners’ Burn Hospital. I just didn’t think of it. We are a generous nation, and we can’t seem to stop ourselves. There are humanitarian organizations throughout the world staffed with hard-working, optimistic people who see the good in humanity. And that’s where we all must keep looking. We donate turkeys and food at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but what about the rest of the year? When the ship is in tumultuous waters, you must stand on deck and keep your gaze focused on the horizon. Once you let your head drop you will become very ill. And I think the same kind of focus applies to your job, your family, politics, and just about everything else in life.

CircleSinging

In the Aboriginal culture of Australia, when someone is troubled, she or he goes to the medicine man or shaman, rather than a therapist. The first thing the shaman will ask is “when did you stop singing?” They believe that their lives are inextricably connected to others and to spirit through their voices and singing, and they can even navigate in unknown territory, from one point to the next, in the belief that their songs will lead them to their final destination. They rely with great trust in what are called Song Lines in their ritual Walkabout. We, as a culture, have lost its deep connection to our voices and to the riches that it can bring to us. Singing is one of the most natural expressions that a person can experience. There is also scientific evidence that singing together strengthens our immune systems and it brings deep joy and a strong sense of community. Join others where we will learn simple vocal exercises, games, sing songs and explore ensemble and circle singing. No experience is necessary, just a desire to sing and share in this transformative and healing experience with others. Please call Evita Cobo at 802-249-0645 for further information.

Dillon Hawley Receives $10,000 Scholarship

Arlington Memorial High School senior Dillon Hawley was awarded a $10,000 college scholarship from The Jewish Guild for the Blind Guild Scholar Program. Hawley was one of only 16 legally blind students nationwide, and the only senior in Vermont, to receive the scholarship. The Jewish Guild for the Blind is a not-for-profit, nonsectarian agency serving persons of all ages who are visually impaired, blind and multi-disabled. The recipients were chosen by a selection committee who considered criteria such as academic excellence, community involvement, legal blindness and citizenship. A member of the National Honor Society, Hawley has received Academic Excellence Awards in Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-calculus and English. He has also received numerous honors in music and band having been named to the Green Mountain District Chorus twice and performing at the All-State Music Festival and All-New England Music Festival on five different occasions. In addition, Hawley is a four-year member of the AMHS Varsity Theatre troupe, a four-year member of the Varsity Cross-Country team and has been elected twice as a class officer. Arlington Principal Kerry Csizmesia congratulated Hawley on his award. “Dillon is an amazing student who excels in everything he chooses to do. Whether it’s his academics, his music or his running, Dillon cares deeply about doing his best.” President and CEO of The Guild, Dr. Alan R. Morse noted that the program’s mission included assisting students with a successful transition from high school to college. “We’re not concerned with their fields of study, but we are eager to help in the education of this country’s next generation of leaders, a group that must include persons with vision impairment.” Hawley, who is interested in pursuing a career in math and science, has applied to several universities including Yale, Temple and Northeastern. He is the son of Donn and Donna Griswold of Arlington. For more information, contact Csizmesia at principal@bvsu.org or 802-375-2589. You can visit the AMHS Web site at www.arlingtonmemorialhs.org. The Arlington School District mission is to create a safe, caring and respectful environment of academic excellence where students are uniquely challenged to reach their potential at the K-5, 6-8 and 9-12 levels.

Local Catholic School Receives Accreditation

The School of Sacred Heart St. Francis de Sales was granted full accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, the nation’s oldest regional accrediting association, at their annual meeting and conference at the Copley Plaza and Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts in December. According to the school’s principal, David Estes, NEASC accreditation is an on-going and comprehensive system of accountability for schools. The process is addressed in a period of self-study and peer review. It is based on standards that are developed and regularly reviewed to define the characteristics of high-quality schools and colleges. The local Catholic school met all fifteen standards required in the process and received exemplary ratings in mission, governance, early childhood program, administration, health and safety, and for the accreditation process itself. NEASC’s Commission on Independent Schools reported that they were particularly impressed with the school’s ability to manifest the values of the mission in the life of the school and the greater community, the dedication, professionalism, and mutual respect of the staff and faculty, the administration for tremendous leadership and vision, the cleanliness and safety of the school facilities, and the initiative taken to meet the school’s goals as indicated in their strategic action plan. Accredited schools are required to submit a twoyear progress report to indicate the status of each recommendation made by the NEASC visiting team for continued school improvement. For Sacred Heart St. Francis de Sales, these include continuation of improvements in technology, a school-wide e-mail notification process, and a continued effort to update textbooks as needed. Special recognition was given to the school community by the Pastor and Associate Pastor of Sacred Heart St. Francis de Sales Parish, Reverend James Preskenis and Reverend Vincent Coppola, at a Sunday liturgy in Bennington following the presentation in Boston. The School of Sacred Heart St. Francis de Sales has been a part of the educational system in Bennington since 1891. Located on School Street, the Catholic school has 161 students enrolled in Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade.

WBTN Offers Local Old Time Radio Show with ‘Victor Swan’

WBTN 1370 AM, non-profit community radio for the greater Bennington area, is proud to add a locally-produced classic comedy radio show to its early evening line up of classic radio programming. Old Time Radio Comedy Classics, produced by Pownal resident Bobby Swanson, runs each Friday from 6 to 7 p.m., with programs such as Burns and Allen introduced by local personality “Victor Swan.” “We want to bring you back to those great days of radio, especially our elderly listeners who may have actually been there when these comedy radio classics were broadcast live,” said Swanson. “We like bringing back those memories, especially the closeness and laughter shared by millions of homes that had only radios, large and small, and looked forward to an evening of special bonding with favorite radio personalities such as Amos and Andy, Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen, and many more.” Old Time Radio Comedy Classics joins a Monday to Thursday lineup of When Radio Was, a syndicated show that rebroadcasts classic radio dramas in the same 6 to 7 p.m. time. “WBTN serves a wide-ranging audience, so this is a natural for a segment of our historic listeners, but it is also great fun for a little trip back in time for anybody who enjoys great comedy and great entertainment personalities,” said Ken Norris, executive director of Shires Media Partnership Inc./WBTN. “We are also focused on providing opportunities for local people to become part of WBTN radio, so when Bobby approached me with the idea I loved it from the beginning.” WBTN is a community non-profit radio station dedicated to providing the greater Bennington area with local news and entertainment focusing on community produced programs. WBTN 1370 AM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit which operates out of offices and studio at 407 Harwood Hill, Bennington.

Picture Yourself at the Party of the Season

��

The party of the season takes place on Saturday, February 13, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. “Picture Yourself at the Clark” celebrates the opening of the Clark exhibition Giovanni Boldini in Impressionist Paris with an evening of live music, delectable hors d’oeuvres, and fun with portraits. Tickets are $50 per person ($40 per member). Space is limited; RSVP by February 5 to 413458-0524 or online at clarkart.edu. Step into the Clark’s Café Fondue Royale for classic Swiss fondue or decadent fondue au chocolat hors d’oeuvres stations. Be transported by the tastes of Parisian street fare such as croque monsieur, choucroute, coquilles St. Jacques, and saucisson-en-croute. Sample the latest vintage Beaujolais and Sauvignon Blanc. Take the portrait theme to the extreme by posing for artist Michael Rousseau who will sketch fast and flattering portraits. Rousseau paints contemporary subjects in a very traditional manner, with a twist. Hop into the photo booth for a photographic keepsake. Pianist Joe Rose will play popular music selections from the turn of the century to the 1930s with an occasional light impressionistic piece from Debussy, Ravel, or Satie. Rose is the music director at St. Charles Church in Pittsfield, accompanist to the Berkshire Lyric choral organizations, and a recording artist. The evening includes a preview of Giovanni Boldini in Impressionist Paris. Through approximately seventy oil paintings and drawings, the exhibition presents an innovative look at Boldini’s Paris – its places of entertainment and leisure, its inhabitants, and its environs – at a time when the Impressionists were investigating the same sites and subjects. This event is sponsored by WGBY Public Television for Western New England. The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission is $15 June 1 through October 31.

Youth Center and HAPPY Merge to Create a Strong Future

Two outstanding, youth-driven organizations serving the Hoosick Falls community have now become one. The Hoosick Youth & Community Center (“Youth Center”) and the Hoosick Area Partnership for Parents & Youth (“HAPPY”) have agreed to merge into one entity, the Hoosick Area Youth Center & Community Coalition (“HAYC3”), effective immediately. The boards of both not-for-profit organizations met on Wednesday, January 6, 2010 to approve a plan of merger and to elect a board and officers for the new entity. They also appointed Aelish Nealon, formerly the President of the Youth Center and the Mentoring Director for HAPPY, as Executive Director of HAYC3. Leading the Board as President will be James Monahan, who has served on the Youth Center Board for more than 30 years. Mike Benoit, who was Chairman of the HAPPY Board, will be the Vice President. Laura Reynolds was named Treasurer and Margaret Restino was tapped for the job of Secretary. Both Reynolds and Restino were members of the HAPPY Executive Team. The Board of Directors will also include former Youth Center Board members Mike Baker, Jane Conte, Harold McClellan, and Patty Ryan, as well as former HAPPY Executive Director Joyce Davis, who retired in October. “The merger process began several months ago when Joyce announced her retirement,” stated Nealon.“At that time we began discussing the idea of becoming one entity and one board in order to maintain the progress that has been made for the youth of our community and to strengthen the Youth Center, which has become the hub of most of HAPPY’s activities.” Nealon commented that when the MentorWorks program began in October 2008 it was housed at the Youth Center, allowing for fulltime operation of the center throughout the year. “The Youth Center had been open from November to April, but the additional staff and the need to open the doors for the mentoring matches led to an expanded calendar,” Nealon said. “To assist families, we added an after-school program that operates from September to June, and camps are now held for five weeks in the summer and during two of the school vacations.” With the center open during most of year, and staff from HAPPY on site to supervise, Nealon said, the decision to become one organization seemed logical. “Not much will change from the perspective of users of the Youth Center and participants in HAPPY’s programs,” commented HAYC3 President James Monahan. “The center hours and activities will remain the same or expand and the HAPPY programs to promote healthy choices and strengthen the community will continue. The only change will be that the two organizations have merged, the two staffs have joined together and the two boards have formed one, stronger team.” The new entity will remain a 501(c)(3) organization under HAPPY’s charter, so donations to the new organization will continue to be taxdeductible. A unique aspect of the new organization will be the creation of a Coalition Advisory Committee which will include existing partners of the HAPPY organization who represent twelve key sectors of the community (youth, parents, schools, churches, businesses, community service organizations, youth-led organizations, youth-serving organizations, government, media, law enforcement and health care professionals).“This committee will advise the board on evidence-based programs

and other activities that could be offered to address identified needs in the community,” commented HAYC3 Board Member Joyce Davis. “It will preserve the coalition, community-based component of HAPPY and provide the board with valuable input from a diverse group of people all committed to making Hoosick a place where our children can grow up strong and healthy.” The HAYC3 Board will also provide a voice for youth in the community. Two additional seats on the Board will be filled by youth directors who are between the ages of 14 and 18 years old. These board members will have the same voting power as the other members of the Board. HAYC3 will also continue the Youth Impact Team created by HAPPY that provides youth with an opportunity to develop leadership skills, become peer role models and participate in community service projects. “We will continue to keep youth as our main focus,” commented Nealon. “That is the uniting factor among the board members and the main reason this merger made sense to all of us.” To celebrate completion of the merger, the Hoosick Area Youth Center & Community Coalition is planning a three-day open house on the weekend of March 26-28. The event will include the Second Annual Comedy Night on Saturday evening. Information on the schedule of fun activities planned will begin appearing in newspapers, on the organization Web site (www.hoosickyouth.org), and throughout the community soon. Questions may be directed to HAYC3 Executive Director Aelish Nealon at 518-686-9050 or via e-mail to contact@hoosickyouth.org.

The Junior Youth Group from the Federated Church of East Arlington is ready to join the nation’s largest youth-led weekend of giving and serving by collecting money for the Souper Bowl of Caring on Sunday, February 7. This will be the Jr. Youth Group’s third year of participating in the nation-wide event, which raised $10.2 million dollars last year to fight hunger and poverty in communities across the nation. Last year the group collected $208 and donated the amount to the Arlington Food Shelf. The Arlington Food Shelf is one of the beneficiaries of all the funds collected throughout the year by the Youth Group, so they are especially happy to be participating in the Souper Bowl event again this year. The Youth Group will be holding pots and pans outside the Federated Church on February 7 and will also be collecting after the 10 a.m. service. The Federated Church is located on 102 Ice Pond Road, in East Arlington. Church services are held at 10 a.m. with Sunday school and nursery available each Sunday. For information regarding services or donations for Souper Bowl 2010, please contact the church at 802-357-4850 Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Pets of the Week

Liam is a 10 year old male Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix who came to SCAC because his rescuers could not afford his medical care. They had removed Liam from a house where he had been beaten. Because of this, Liam has some fear issues, is timid and needs to warm up to new people slowly. SCAC has been the most safe and stable environment that Liam has ever known and in turn, he has made great improvements on his health. A sensitive soul, Liam reacts to any kind of negativity and will need very understanding and gentle new parents. He is the sweetest little guy who has a lot of love in his heart and also has a great capacity to grow into the dog that he wants and deserves to be. We recommend an adult only home where Liam can relax, be spoiled and enjoy life. Cats are fine and other dogs may be possible upon introduction. If you are looking for a little bundle, then come and meet our little Liam!

Scooter is a 1 year old, who was adopted from SCAC but was returned when his new owner became ill. Scooter is full of energy and loves running around and playing. He is responsive and friendly to everyone. Please come see our athletic guy. Buddy is a four year old Beagle-Hound mix who came to Second Chance because his previous owner had too many dogs and a medical condition that made it hard to properly care for the pack. Buddy is a handsome, aloof and active boy who enjoys affection and lots of exercise. He loves to jump on tables so that he can look out of the windows! A needy boy, Buddy would love a situation where his person is home more often because he doesn’t appreciate being left alone for too long a period of time. Buddy has some sadness in his life and can be nervous of strangers and a bit fearful of new situations. These pets and many others are available at Second Chance Animal Center, Route 7A, Shaftsbury, Vermont. For hours and other information, please call 802-375-2898.
