OUR READERS’ LETTERS ...rotating charity thanks...

Saturday, June 26, was the Second Annual Rotating Charity in Manchester. Located at the VFW were the East Dorset Church, the Congregational Church and the Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW. For the Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW, thanks for bringing in all the goodies. To our community, thanks for coming out and supporting us. The proceeds will go towards the Dirks Room at the Vermont Veterans Home in Bennington and our programs. - Ladies Auxiliary, Manchester, Vermont

...too hot for dogs...

It is both inhumane and dangerous to leave your dog in a parked car. Even with windows open, in summer your car can heat up to a temperature of 110 degrees in a matter of minutes and can cause the death of your pet. So please, please be a best friend to your best friend and leave him home where he can be quiet and have access to water on summer days. Thank you! - Joan Suttie, Danby, Vermont

...no limits thanks...

The Bart J. Ruggiere Adaptive Sports Center would like to give a big thank you to the Manchester Country Club for all their help in hosting the First Annual NO LIMITS Golf Tournament on June 19, 2010. We would also like to thank the following that sponsored our tournament: Renee J Jacobs, CPA P.C.; LeBlanc’s Auto Recycling and Repair; Stephen Phillips DDS; R.K. Miles, Inc.; Mr. John Squire; Wassick’s Tire Service; BriggsFowler Insurance Agency; Stifel Nicolaus Investments Services; Bromley Sun Mountain Adventure Park; The Lu Family; Depot 62; Ray and Carolyn Smith; Mr. John Hughes; and The Evarts Family. The money raised will be used to benefit children and adults that come to the Bart J. Ruggiere Adaptive Sports Center. Some of the people that come to the center may have a cognitive disability like Autism or Downs Syndrome or they may have a physical disability like spinal bifida, spinal cord injury or a loss of limb caused from cancer or birth defect. It is through the generosity of these sponsors for the Golf Tournament

CSJ Receives Energy Grant for $122,000

��

College of St. Joseph in Rutland, Vermont has received a grant of $122,749 from the Vermont Clean Energy Development Fund (CEDF) for upgrades to the college’s residence halls, specifically to install Sto Exterior insulation in the college’s two dorm buildings. The funds from this grant come from monies received by Vermont from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and are distributed by CEDF. The college will combine the CEDF grant with funding formerly received from the Department of Energy through the work of Congressman Peter Welch to rehabilitate the exteriors of both Roncalli and Medaille residence halls. Both halls will have four inches of foam insulation and a stucco surface applied to their exteriors that will address several major issues, including energy efficiency and the need for ongoing exterior maintenance. By the end of the summer, the construction in both halls should be complete. In addition to this major overhaul of the exteriors of both buildings, all of the carpeting in both halls will be removed and replaced with laminate flooring. The college’s maintenance crew will also be doing some rehab work in the bathrooms in each suite. When residents return in the fall, they will find two very different housing facilities. The halls will have a new look outside and in, more stable interior temperature, limited to no interior moisture problems and brighter and cleaner interiors.

Sandlot Soccer Swim

��

�� 26

Sandlot ball dredges up memories of a generation ago — kids playing unorganized sports in an empty lot, school yard or in the street. Today, it’s uncommon to see kids playing anything without adult supervision, usually via a structured program such as Little League baseball, Pop Warner football or town/school organized sports programs. This summer, Manchester Parks and Recreation in Manchester, Vermont will offer Sandlot Soccer Swim (for the seventh consecutive year). It’s pure pickup soccer — no drills, laps, lecturing coaches or whistle-happy refs. The kids choose their own teams, ref their own games, make their own rules and have their own fun. Everyone plays , everybody wins. After the game(s), players are invited to cool off in the Rec. pool at no charge. Soccer time and swim time are roughly equal. But, like everything else, that’s up to the kids. Age groupings/levels for players are: level one, grades 3 through 5 (2010-2011 school year); level two, grades 6 through 8. Sandlot Soccer Swim will be held every Wednesday from July 14 through August 18 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Dana L. Thompson Recreational Park in Manchester Center, Vermont. There is no fee, and free T-shirts will be available while supplies last. Younger/older siblings can play with permission from the on-site coordinator. Minimal adult supervision is provided for safety reasons.

Tickets for the dinner for 400 guests on Saturday, July 24 and the brunch for 300 guests on Sunday, July 25 went on sale on June 7 and have been selling briskly. Approximately 75% of the tickets have been sold to date, so there is still an opportunity to be a part of the Al Fresco experience.

Guests gather under crisp white tents at the picturesque setting provided by the historic building for deliciously prepared food, live entertainment and a silent auction offering a wide array of art, crafts and unique items sourced locally. The mouthwatering menu this year includes summer cucumber and raspberry soup with Pecorino Romano shortbread crackers, thinly sliced Al Fresco sirloin steak on field greens with chimichuri sauce, roasted Sheldon new potato salad with fresh local herbs and green bean salad with roasted red peppers. People always marvel at the ability of the Courthouse to organize such a massive undertaking. The reality is that every accomplishment starts with the decision to try and grows from there. The Courthouse has always been blessed with enthusiastic volunteers who willingly step forward to ensure the success of the weekend. The planning sessions commence each August for the following year with the level of energy building each month — at this point, one month prior to the event, the energetic workers are at full speed.

Pet of the Week Cooper is a 5-year-old, male Coonhound cross who was returned to Second Chance Animal Center (SCAC) after five years because his adoptive owners gave him away to someone who worked too many jobs and did not have enough time for him. A sweet and active boy, Cooper would like to be someone’s hunting or jogging buddy. He is housebroken and was once crate-trained as a puppy. Cooper will require continued obedience work, recall training, leash manners and continued socialization. An active home with children 10 years and older is recommended. A fenced yard would be ideal,

The program includes five posthumous Variations from Opus 13 by Schumann, 11 Etudes by Chopin, and concludes with Bach’s Goldberg Variations.

He was invited by the Holland Music Sessions, now one of the top performing arenas for up and coming musicians in Europe, to go on a world tour that included recitals in Paris, London, Cologne, New York’s Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and Los Angeles, where he was hailed by the L.A.

Dorset Theatre Festival Art Exhibit

��

Thursdays at 7:30 pm Southern Vermont Arts Center, Arkell Pavilion

July 15 – Double the Pleasure ��

Each play of Dorset Theatre Festival’s 2010 season in Dorset, Vermont will share billing with an art exhibit of renowned local artists. The first play, The Pavilion, runs through Sunday, July 11, as does the art of Ned Reade, Georgine Holman and Adelaide Werger. Ned Reade’s art captures the changing light and colors of the seasons in watercolors and oils, whether it depicts a sheep farm or village green. A common theme in Reade’s art is the precision of architecture complemented by the looseness of reflected light. Reade always brings a large chocolate chip cookie on location, rewarding himself only after his sketch is completed. He has chaired the art department at the TrinityPawling School for the past 30 years. Adelaide Werger is a familiar and well collected watercolorist in The Shires of Vermont. She is known for her gentle aesthetic and strong technique. When Werger died in 2004, she bequeathed all of the art in her studio to Long Trail School. The proceeds from the sales of her art will establish a scholarship fund. Georgine Holman’s art is inspired by Vermont landscapes. Holman earned an MFA in Fine Arts from Pratt Institute, silk-screened limited edition prints for Robert Rausenberg, among others, and taught school in St. Croix. Then, 30-plus years ago she came to visit her sister, Judy Livingston, for a summer, fell in love with Vermont and lives happily in Dorset with husband, Steve, and their two sons. The artwork is available for viewing at the Gallery Café, located at the Dorset Playhouse on Cheney Road in Dorset, Wednesday through Sunday. For more information, call 802-867-5777.
