newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND TOWN — A theft at Dick’s Sporting Goods Store in Rutland Town was erroneously linked to a Bridport man, according to the Myrick family of Bridport.

The retail store theft, which occured July 18, had been first reported

by Vermont State Police as being linked to the registration number of a truck owned Wright Myrick of Bridport.

It was later learned that both the truck and registration had no connection to Wright.

The registration number and the truck linked to the July 18 theft was not Myrick’s; the police report was an error apparently made by an eyewitness and since corrected in official records.

“Study for Mural” by Persi Narvaez.

RUTLAND — The Chaffee Art Center has launched an Artist in Residence program with artist Cesar Persi Narvaez Machicao from Lima, Peru. Persi comes to us through connections with the Carving Studio in West Rutland. He is interested in developing community art projects and has had similar residencies in Massachusetts and South Carolina.

Support for the program has been provided by Barbara and Bill Carris, and Chaffee board member Erin Shimp.

Artist-in-residence programs exist to invite artists and creative people to spend time in new environments.

The programs provide a time for reflection, research, presentation or production for an artist. They also allow artists to explore their practice within another community environment, meeting new people, using new materials, experiencing life in a new location.

Art residencies emphasize the impor-

tance of meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchange and immersion into another culture. The Chaffee Art Center is developing the artist-in-residence program as a means of engaging the community in new and creative ways and introducing new ideas. The program will focus on developing community art projects.

The project for the 2012 residency is a mural on the back of the Opera House building, in downtown Rutland.

The project is a collaboration between the Creative Economy, the Carving Studio, and the Chaffee Art Center. Sponsors of the project include Vermont Country Store, Foley Properties, and Sherwin-Williams Paint.

Narvaez has created a design with input from building owner, Mark Foley, Jr. The design starts from 10 feet off the ground, incorporates the building’s windows and will cover the entire wall. All work is being done See CHAFFEE, page 7

osing a pet is a very emotional thing. It's really important that all animals have identification so they can be returned to their owners.

An I.D. tag on your pet's collar is the easiest method.

Pets can also be microchipped. Many humane societies and veterinarians have a scanner which identifies if an animal has a microchip.

If you have any questions, please call the Rutland County Humane Society at 483-6700.

DAHLILAH 9 year old. Spayed Female. Black American Shelter Dog. When I was a pup, my family had taken me in from a neighbor and I’ve had an adventure filled life with them. I enjoyed swimming and hiking and about two years ago a baby

joined the family and he was kind of fun too. Most of all, though, I enjoyed hanging out with my best friend Cleo and I’m really glad she is here with me. Mostly because she really needs me and is very anxious and upset when I’m not around. The folks who work here are very interested in seeing us go to a new home together because they know how much Cleo needs me.

BENSON 1 year old. Neutered Male. Medium Haired Brown & White American Shelter Dog. I am a dog’s dog. I just love other dogs and they’re the only thing I’ve found that can keep up with me. I am a handsome, lively dog with an unknown past that has left me with some emotional scars. They’re not obvious but under stress or when I’m afraid I have tried to bite so that people will leave me alone. Most of the time, I’m easy-going and affectionate with people I know.

BAMBI 1 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Black & White.

Boy, what a whirlwind lately. I arrived at the shelter in June as a stray after I was found wandering around the

streets of Rutland. Luckily I have these neat extra toes that were good for walking. I needed all the extra help I could get. I am a small kitty but I have a large personality and I think you will be pleasantly surprised when you meet me.

OTTIS 1 year old. Neutered Male. Domestic Long Hair Orange Tiger.

I’m as silly as can be. I am very social and love to investigate my surroundings. I am an independent guy so keeping me busy won’t be much work at all. I arrived at the shelter as stray on June 6 and I would love a forever home and not have to worry about where my next meal will come from. I am sure that when we meet it will be love at first sight.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com U.S. Rep. Peter Welch cosponsored legislation July 25 to curb the growing practice of employers requiring prospective or current employees, as a condition of employment, to provide access to password-protected social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter.

The Password Protection Act of 2012 (H.R. 5684) would prohibit compelling or coercing employees to provide access to data stored in private accounts.

“Employees have a legitimate expectation of privacy when using Facebook or Twitter. This legislation will prevent fishing expeditions into employees’ private lives,” Welch said. “While an employer may have a valid concern about the business impact of an employee’s online activity, demanding passwords and unfettered access to private accounts is an over-the-top solution.”

MONTPELIER — Heating fuel dealers that participate in the Vermont Fuel Assistance Program can expect several changes this coming winter. The existing rule that allows dealers to use 17 percent of the current fuel benefit to pay for a customer ’s back balance will likely be eliminated.

There is also a proposal to limit crisis fuel to one delivery if a customer receives seasonal fuel assistance and two deliveries if they do not.

What is not going away is the fuel dealer discount, which last year was set at 10-cents per gallon or the dealers cash discount, whichever was greater.

Oil and propane dealers will not be alone. The largest fuel assistance supplier in the state will also have to lower their prices for fuel assistance customers.

Early projections for the 2012-2013 heating season puts the average fuel assistance benefit at $543 per home. This is compared to the $900 per home average last winter.

Why the decrease? Congress is expected to hold the line on funding at $3.4 billion, of which approximately $19.5 million goes to Vermont.

Springfield Humane Society Summer is a frustrating time. Families are busy with vacations and other activities and adoptions are always slower. Meantime the cat rooms are full and the waiting list to come in grows. Attempting to help spur good adoptions we are having a “Kat Sail” until the end of August. All cats, (not kittens) regardless of age are on “sail” – adoption fee to be negotiated! As the picture here shows they are lined up waiting by the door hoping they will be next to be chosen to go home. The selection of low mileage pre-owned models is amazing – all colors, sizes and purr-sonalities – wait patiently to bring their grace, beauty and health giving companionship to the right people.

All our companion animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, tested, parasite treated, healthy and ready to go. Call the Shelter at 885-3997 or stop by Wed-Sat noon-4:30.

Best friends meet at 401 Skitchewaug Trail!

Our next low cost S/N clinic for cats is August 21 in Charlestown then September 11 in Springfield. Space is limited and reservations required. Call 885-2174. Spread the word of these life saving clinics!

MONTPELIER — Although Vermont’s unemployment rate remains relatively low, the slow but steady drop in the number of Vermonters working continued for the fourth consecutive month.

In June, the number of employed fell by 450; since February, that number has dropped by more than 1,700. June’s unemployment rate ticked up to 4.7 percent from 4.6 percent in May. The change was not deemed statistically significant by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, but it was the first rate increase registered in Vermont in two and a half years.

Although Vermont’s unemployment rate remains relatively low, the slow but steady drop in the number of Vermonters working continued for the fourth consecutive month.

In June, the number of employed fell by 450; since February, that number has dropped by more than 1,700.

June’s unemployment rate ticked up to 4.7 percent from 4.6 percent in May. The change was not deemed statistically significant by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta-

tistics, but it was the first rate increase registered in Vermont in two and a half years.

Average annual wages in most of Vermont’s 14 counties rose in 2011.

Statewide, the average annual wage increased 2.2 percent over the previous year.

But after adjusting for inflation, pay almost everywhere in Vermont has remained flat since 2007, just before the recession hit.

Real wages—after adjusting for inflation—fell a fraction in Chittenden, Windham, and Windsor counties.

A few counties saw notable gains: Franklin, 5.2 percent between 2007 and 2011; Washington, 3.6 percent, and Orleans, 3.1 percent.

In the depths of the recession, laid-off Vermonters could qualify for up to 86 weeks of unemployment compensation, thanks largely to federal programs that provided extended benefits. But as the state’s unemployment rate has dropped, so has eligibility for the extra help from Washington.

Currently, jobless Vermonters may be eligible to receive up to 26 weeks of unemployment compensation through the regular state program and an additional 20 weeks through a federal program, Tier 1.

Opinion From the Editor

F

our weeks have passed since July 4 and the idea is beginning to set in hard with me: summer time is running out. The days, now past their solstice prime, are quicker than the eye.

Darkness, merely one month ago, came later in the evening; now dusky shadows slide quickly across the lawn, inexorably drawn to autumnal cardinal points.

Now, I am astounded at how the sounds of early summer’s rebirth have transitioned into an audible fever pitch—a fever pitch of nature’s year at a mid-life climax, marking the remaining weeks of our all, too short northern-latitude summer.

At the arrival of August, the season is at a crossroads.

Summer has been filled with change, but I haven’t seized the season and enjoyed all the long hours of daylight, or taken a walk in the woods after sunset, or rode my bicycle along Creek Road, or caught a crayfish in the Middlebury River across from the MacIntyres, or took the plunge at Dog Team Falls.

During the early 1900s, British biologist John Lubbock praised the idea of simple relaxation, that well-deserved form of rest earned only after a hard-day’s work.

Lubbock must have turned a few Victorian heads when he said, “to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”

Indeed—if only I could squeeze a few more drops of summer into a glass; I’d take a full day to sip its nectar and lie on the grass and watch the clouds float across the sky.

Perhaps that’s why a Vermont summer is a bittersweet thing. We savor every moment of what little summer we’re given. What glorious summer is behind us now is what I call lost time—time never to return. And what weeks lie ahead are all that remain of this summer’s fleeting youth.

God willing, when my time is nigh, I’d like to make my grand exit during high summer; it would suit the Tom Sawyer lurking in my soul. And maybe there’d even be a narcissistic moment of melodrama akin to the final words of polar explorer Lawrence “Titus” Oates.

Oates, who accompanied Robert Falcon Scott’s ill-fated British expedition to the South Pole 100 years ago, vanished in an antarctic whiteout. His last words, recorded for posterity in a companion’s journal, supremely captured my notion of lost time which—for all of us, at some time or another— must extend, from here and now, into eternity.

The reflective, pipe-smoking Oates stepped outside of a frozen camp tent on March 16, 1912, in a sub-zero storm. But unlike the mortal remains of his fellow expedition members, his body was never found.

“I am just going outside,” he told his tent mate, “and may be some time."

So, let me play a few more hours in the fading light of summer. I am just going outside and may be some time.

N

o other country in the world enjoys the freedoms and the prosperity that we do in the United States.

The grand experiment, launched so many years ago, was to create a country free from tyranny with each person free to pursue life, liberty and happiness under the selfevident truth that all are created equal and endowed by their creator with unalienable rights.

The concept that we are “One nation under God” continues to be challenged by groups offended by the concept that so many hold dear. One such group is the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). This group has skillfully used the freedoms we enjoy to create an educational, watchdog organization that is made up of “free-thinkers,” agnostics and atheists that aim to keep church and state separate through what they claim is “persuasion and education.” Recently it forced the leaders in the city of Steubenville, Ohio with the threat of a lawsuit aimed at changing their official logo because it included a silhouette of a cross from the Franciscan University Chapel. Despite the fact that the Franciscan School is one of the leading employers in the area and one of the most recognized entities in the city, the fact that they are religiously based apparently means that their contribution to the community should not be recognized. Organizations like FFRF are now taking advantage of cash strapped communities and governments who fear lawsuits while struggling with evershrinking budgets.

Most recently, and without discussion, Essex County New York Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas decided to abandon the practice of prayer before the board’s monthly meetings after reading a newspaper editorial suggesting that prayer had no place in government. The editorial was responding to recent discussions in Washington County, N.Y. over the wording of the prayer offered by their official chaplain, causing the New York Civil Liberties Union to threaten suit. In this case, without NYCL even asking, chairman Douglas led the retreat to abandon prayer, instead of investigating other modifications so as to make it acceptable.

When you look at the sacrifices made by the early citizens of this country, and those throughout the ages who fought and died for these freedoms, I have to wonder how they would have reacted to the threat of a lawsuit? The King of England, with his world-powerful army and navy, didn’t cause our early leaders to back down from what they believed to be truth, right and just, but today all it takes is a small minority armed with a few lawyers and constitutional interpretations to end long-standing traditions. We need leaders who lead the charge, not the retreat.

Make no mistake about it, respect for a supreme being is woven into the fabric of our country and is worth preserving in our government institutions as well as our private lives.

What is the first thing we turn to when tragedy strikes as it did recently in Colorado or following 911? It’s our faith and hope that there is more to life than just this world we inhabit for a short time. There must be room in this country and its

government for all forms of religious and spiritual beliefs: Christian, Hindu, Judaism, Buddhist, Jehovah’s Witness, Muslim, Mormons, Scientologists, Pagans, Atheists and Dan Alexander many, many others. We should Thoughts from be able to agree that we each Behind the Pressline have strong feelings for our beliefs but we must respect each other’s right to honor those beliefs as each sees fit, without hindering or overtly offending the other.

I understand and agree with the Establishment Clause that prohibits our government from establishing an official religion or showing preference among religions or between religion and non-religion. The Free Exercise Clause prohibits the government from burdening an individual’s ability to exercise his or her religious beliefs if the burden does not arise from neutral law of general applicability but instead infringes upon a particular set of beliefs. But the common denominator to nearly all religious belief is the belief in a Supreme Being.

We use different names when we refer to this “Being” and have established unique customs, but the belief in something larger and more universal than our own immediate environment is what this country stands to protect, not diminish.

There is room for non-believers, but their rights should also not infringe on the vast majority in this country who do practice their faith in an outward manner. In turn our government officials should not have to hide their beliefs, nor should communities be restrained when demonstrating pride in their faith-based community members and the symbols they use to represent that faith.

In my opinion, a country with no faith basis, made up of non-believers, is just as intolerable as a country endorsing a single religious faith. This country’s diversity and melting pot has served us well through the centuries. Our courts need to quit attacking religion and slowly chipping away its importance in our society. Newspaper editors that call for no prayer should stay focused on the First Amendment and the freedom of speech and freedom of the press because once our religious freedoms are legislated away restrictions on those other cherished freedoms won’t be far behind. As for Mr. Douglas in Essex County, N.Y., why not consider a moment of reflection prior to board meetings, encouraging the members to consider the issues they are about to undertake and look for wisdom and guidance from a source of their own choosing?

We frequently ask for God to bless America both in song and prayer. I hope those blessings continue to provide our leaders, our courts and all Americans with the wisdom to accept and tolerate our difference while growing our love and respect for the country we all call home.

The bear, the fawn, the mountain B iking up the mountain, back of my house. Heart rate 125 or so, where I want it to hang through the ride.

From the woods on my right, down-slope and a whole step off the dirt road, I hear thunderous crashing and crushing and cracking. My concentration switches from work to observation. I fix my gaze and focus and expect to receive the image of a moose, but see nothing but forest.

My focus refocuses low and finds the culprit of the thrashing. It’s a bear, running hang bent for election, 12 times harder than Barack and Mitt, down slope, showing amazingly great speed relative to what seems only fair ability to keep from tangling it’s legs and tumbling. Must be two years since my last bear sighting. It’s always exciting sighting a bear, but this ride-time sighting is extra rare. Watching the bear flee from my sight and scent invigorates me. I mimic the bear and flee. In less than a heart beat my heart rate peaks at my goal -130 beats per minute. Seeing a black bear running faster than you ride will do that.

Biking up the mountain, back of my house. Heart rate 125 or so, where I want it to hang through the ride. Wild storms all night caused no damage.

Fast moving showers moving fast all day have moved away, leaving the mountainside air softly thick. Patches of, I’d call it fog, if I was sure that’s what it’s called, but I’m not sure, so I’ll call it steam, hover like ghosts just above the pasture.

Some patches attached to trees high, low, and mid tree.

25 feet into the first steep grade one of the steam patches catches and pulls my eye to the right where in a 1000

square foot pasture stands a fawn neck deep in steam, staring at me. I stop. I always do running, biking, mowing, when I see a deer.

I stare back. We are still, staring at each other.

The fawn’s narrow face and translucent ears are beautiful. My heartbeat slows from the post card perfect sight. Still still, the fawn quietly says, “Hey.” Still, straddling my bike I answer, “Hey.” Through the steam and after a summer of fading the fawn’s barely visible spots look like dust picked up from brushing against the leg of a work table at an abandoned sheet rock factory. A poor description perhaps, but's what came to mind after mounting my bike’s saddle to continue my ride. The fawn watched me go. It didn’t scare. It knows I live in the house on the property where nibbling greens along a tractor path has become a favorite summer activity it shares with it’s Ma. The bear, the fawn, it’s Ma and the mountain, play a large part in keeping Dr. DeWeeslittle’s mind and body fit.

Rock slide on Interstate 89 near Barre, Vt., July 16.

I-89 rock slide cleared MONTPELIER —A rock slide covered the northbound lanes of Interstate 89 near Barre July 16.

A VTrans crew reopened one lane during the afternoon hours while it worked to clear the remaining lane.

The northbound lane of the freeway was reopened by the end of the day.

It is unclear what caused the incident although it is believed that heavy rain July 15, coupled by the natural process of rock exfoliation, probably triggered the slide.

Farmers wanted for aerial seeding project

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com The University of Vermont (UVM) Extension Northwest Crops and Soils Program is seeking Vermont farmers for a pilot project on aerial seeding of cover cropping by helicopter.

Any farmers who spring till and want to improve their soils while minimizing erosion and nitrogen losses are eligible.

Aerial seeding is tentatively scheduled for August between the tassel and early dent stage of corn, so farmers are urged to sign up soon.

Funding for thE project will be available to farms through a number of different partners including U.S. Department of Agriculture; the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets; the Natural Resources Conservation Service and UVM. Interested farmers are asked to contact Jeff Sanders, UVM agronomy outreach professional, at jeffrey.sanders@uvm.edu or Dr. Heather Darby, UVM Extension agronomist, at heather.darby@uvm.edu. Both also may be reached by phone at the UVM Extension office at (800) 639-2130.

Wells man has day in court WELLS — On July 20, at 12:54 a.m., the Vermont State Police Rutland Dispatch Center received a report of a disturbance on Cold Springs Road in Wells.

While investigating the disturbance, troopers from the Vermont State Police - Castleton Outpost came into contact with Robert L. Allen, 56, of Wells.

Troopers saw Allen display signs of impairment. He was subsequently arrested for DUI. Allen was transported to the Castleton Outpost where he was processed and released on citation.He will appear in Rutland County Court Criminal Division on Aug. 6.

Ten 4-H teens from three Vermont counties had a chance to get acquainted with "Uncle Sam" recently through participation in Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) in Washington, D.C., one of the largest national citizenship education programs for youth.

The Vermont 4-H'ers, along with delegates from several other states, attended the June 30-July 6 session, one of seven week-long sessions scheduled this summer at the National 4-H Center, Chevy Chase, Md. Their visit was coordinated by University of Vermont Extension and funded in part by the State 4-H Foundation, local county 4-H foundations and donations.

CWF helps young people, ages 15 to 19, better understand how government functions at all levels and how to effectively use local government processes to address issues when they return home. The state delegation learned about the bill writing process that takes place in the House of Representatives and spent a day on Capitol Hill to participate in a Congressional session and meet with agricultural staffer Jake Oster from U.S. Representative Peter Welch's office to discuss agricultural concerns relevant to Vermont.

In addition, the teens participated in programming and

committees that explored current issues including youth labor in agriculture, food labeling, renewable resources and federal funding for arts programs in schools. They also learned about the nation's history and what they can do to become better citizens and community leaders.

While in the nation's capital, the group had the opportunity to visit many cultural and historic landmarks, explore the Smithsonian museums, visit the National Cathedral, tour Mount Vernon and watch the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery. Other highlights included an evening of dinner theater and marching in the National Independence Day Parade where they were in charge of one of the giant balloons.

The Vermont delegation included, by county: ADDISON--Britney Hill, Bristol; Alexis Ouellette and Sharon Palmer, both from Weybridge.

CHITTENDEN--Summer Colley, Jennifer Dickinson and Brooke Mobbs, all from Colchester; Mary Williams, Burlington.

FRANKLIN--Samantha Dezotelle and Cassie Westcom, both from Enosburg Falls; Will Stanley, Enosburg Falls.

Beth Carini, a 4-H volunteer from West Rutland, accompanied the group.

Bike race is part of regional summit climb LUDLOW — The Ludlow Rotary Club and Okemo Mountain Resort held its fifth Okemo Bike Climb rcently and 105 racers conquered the grueling 5.8 mile course from Jackson’s Gore to the summit of Okemo with a vertical rise of over 2,000 feet.

The first finisher was Timothy Ahearn from Woodstock, Conn., with a time of 29 minutes 54 seconds followed closely by the first female finisher Marti Shea from Marblehead, Mass., with a time of 32 minutes 39 seconds.

The finishers ranged in age from 13 to 78 years. There was one tandem team that finished.

The Okemo Bike Climb is one of 10 hill climb events in the northeast that include White Face Mountain in New York, Mt. Ascutney and Mt. Equinox in Vermont, and Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.

The Ludlow Rotary club presented awards to the top racers in each age class and a barbecue lunch celebrating their accomplishments.

The proceeds from the registration fees and local sponsors funds local scholarships and charities.

More taxation by unaccountable strangers

T

he Public Service Board issued its long-expected order agreeing to the consolidation of Central Vermont Public Service and Green Mountain Power into a new combined company. (Last week, the final consolidation took place.)

The new entity, serving 256,000 Vermont electric customers, is now owned, ultimately, by the government of Quebec.

Every party submitting views to the Board supported the merger. That was because the consolidation of the service territories and operations of the two utilities will unquestionably result in large efficiencies, some $500 million over twenty years if one believes the PSB. The deal dates back to the November 2010 offer by a Canadian energy company called Fortis to buy CVPS. The CVPS directors agreed to Fortis’s offer.

But suddenly Gaz Metro, owner of Green Mountain Power, appeared with a better deal. After several frantic weeks of offers and counteroffers, Gaz came away the winner. Its much larger combined company would produce much lower power costs for Vermont customers, than Fortis merely replacing the ownership of the present CVPS. Gov. Shumlin early saw the prospective savings as a boon to Vermont ratepayers, but also as a huge pot of money that the state’s regulator machinery could divert to fund some of his favorite government programs.

Thus Shumlin’s Department of Public Service pushed Gaz to agree to shift $10 million of the savings into weatherization pro-

Golden Dome Planning

F

or most of American history, politicians at the state level didn’t presume to invade the private sector, to strategize about state-guided economic development, and then legislate in support of some particular focus.

Politicians of the past preferred to leave the subject to what Adam Smith called the “invisible hand� of the free market place; instead, they confined their role to infrastructure investment. Not any more.

Now there are frequent politico comments to the effect that their state should strive to be “the Xxxx State�, and to advance that strategy by focused legislative action to stimulate the in-favor economic sector.

Earliest in recent history was Vermont during the early ‘60s, when more than a few Montpelier movers and shakers, from

grams, plus another $2 million into promoting “thermal efficiency�. These programs are run by the state’s community action agencies. In all, the combined company will donate $21 million to weatherization and a new entity called the CEED (Community Energy and Efficiency Development) Fund.

This happens to be the $21 million owed to CVPS ratepayers under an earlier PSB order, to make sure ratepayers shared in the big payout if CVPS was bought or merged. The Governor and the Department urgently argued that giving back the money to CVPS ratepayers, as clearly required a decade ago, would be a waste of good money that the government could better direct to finance “societal benefits�.

To justify this theft, the PSB found that “the expense of providing this windfall recovery to CVPS ratepayers would put at risk all the extraordinary actual and potential benefits of the merger for ratepayers and the citizens of Vermont.�

Whoa! The Board is saying here that Gaz Metro would walk away from a deal supposed to yield $500 million in benefits over 20 years, if the Board required Gaz to peel out $21 million to pay off those annoying ratepayers?

Gaz was so eager to make the deal that it kept raising its bid price, and agreed to pay Fortis $19.5 million just for going away.

Does anyone seriously believe that Gaz would walk away from this enormously lucrative deal in a dispute over a lousy $21 million?

Probably not. The key thing to remember is that in addition to then-Gov. Philip Hoff (D) on down, preached enthusiastically about their domain’s destiny as the Education State, and how they in the corridors of power could advance that noble economic-development/intellectual-improvement strategy. For a variety of reasons, it never happened.

Latest in recent history: Wyoming, where now-Gov. Matt Mead “is pushing the state’s brisk climate as an ideal draw for dataprocessing centers,� (quoted from a Wall Street Journal March 2011 report) and offering a spectrum of legislative attractions, for promising corporate candidates only, ranging from sales tax exemptions to taxpayer-funded infra-structure improvements. His goal: that Wyoming become the Data-Processing State.

Not as overtly declared state policy, but happening anyway in parts of all the U.S. states according to a 2008 WSJ map, is a new demographic trend: rural gentrification , in which above-average passive-income retirees and trustfunders have flocked to specific areas they found attractive. The pattern is illustrated by 19962005 data showing major increases in passive income dividends,

a promised $144 million in direct ratepayer benefits over ten years, the merger deal offered the governor a chance to get his hooks on millions of dollars to fund his pet projects, without hitting up the taxpayers or snatching it from some other budget item.

One of the fashionable items that the new CEED Fund will feed is “renewable energy subsidies�. An expert for the DPS suggested, for example, that the Fund might subsidize installation of electric vehicle charging stations at private homes. This would be a great convenience to people who have just bought a Chevy Volt subcompact ($40,000, less the proposed Obama $10,000 point of sale subsidy), not to mention a Fisker Karma ($102,000). Some might say that they ought to install the charging stations in their own garages at their own expense.

The PSB’s Order refuting the AARP argument for giving the $21 million back to the people who have a right to it, shows how far the Board has bought into that new role. The DPS/PSB part of state government has become a prime example of taxation by unaccountable strangers.

John McClaughry is president of the Ethan Allen Institute (www.ethanallen.org). He was formerly vice chair of the Vermont Senate Education Committee. interest, rents—in such destination counties.

A few years back, as we have shown here before, there was a several hundred percent jump in Vermont stats for the ‘90s decade.

This is a trendwill accelerate, with supposedly fashionable “back-to-the-city� campaigns notwithstanding, as telecommuting enables even pre-retirement folks in the Baby Boomer generation enable people to work from anywhere, to urchase retirement homes while still employed. This is where the Vermont-Wyoming contrast becomes evident.

In the Cowboy State, Gov. Mead explains, key elements for data processing are “cheap energy� and “statewide broadband�, but in the Green Mountain State, Gov. Peter Shumlin wants to close Vermont Yankee and raise energy prices, plus tax the new generation of cloud-computing applications.

In January, by Emergy Information Administration report, commercial power in Vermont cost 14 cents/kwhr, and in Wyoming it was at 8 cents. That helps explain why Vermont came in at number 50 for economic 0utlook in the detailed 2007 Rich States/Poor States analysis by the American Legislative Exchange Council. The state has posted similar ranking in other more recent studies of business climate, tax burden, and related matters.

By those benchmarks alone, Vermont couldn’t have aspired to become the “Data-Processing State� even if the Golden Dome and top-floor Pavilion Hotel folks wanted it. My Humble Scribe guess: they didn’t and don’t.

Each year, NRPA National Awards are presented to individuals and agencies across the U.S. to honor their efforts—both professional and personal—in the field of parks and recreation.

The award was given to the department based on the success of the Rutland Youth Theatre program which is run through Rutland Recreation and Parks Department.

Rutland Youth Theatre was started in the Fall of 2002 with workshops run by Susan (Baker) Scaccia.

The first stage performance was “Romeo and Juliet” in the fall of 2003. By 2007 the program was running four performances a year and summer camps providing year round theatre programming for youth in the Rutland area from kindergarten through high school.

Saskia Hagen Groom is the current director for RYT and has expanded the program to include a fall play.

Rutland Youth Theatre provides a safe, accepting community in which youth thrive in the tradition of theatre arts.

EJay Bishop, department superintendent, notes that, “the receipt of the Dorothy Mullen Arts and Humanities Award is made possible by the tremendous dedication of our director Saskia, professional guidance, management and passion provided by our Recreation Director Cindi Wight, the parents and community members who continually give of their time and our local businesses who through sponsorships contribute the resources needed to maintain this quality program.”

Rutland Youth Theatre will be holding auditions for the fall production of the Jungle Book on Sunday, Aug. 26, 3–6 p.m., and Monday, Aug. 27, 5:30–8 p.m. ,at the Godnick Adult Center.

Performances are Oct. 19-20 at Rutland Intermediate School.

“We are excited to bring back “Annie” which will be performed Dec. 14-15 at the Paramount Theatre including a youth orchestra,” Hagen Groom said.

Auditions will be held Oct. 14, 3-6 p.m., and Oct. 15, 5:30–8 p.m., at the Godnick Adult Center.

Auburn nips Lake Monsters by one run

By Paul Stanfield

AUBURN, N.Y. — Tony Renda singled home Estarlin Martinez to snap a 5-5 tie in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Auburn Doubledays beat the Vermont Lake Monsters in their final at bat for the second straight day with a 6-5 New York-Penn League victory on Thursday night at Falcon Park.

Martinez led off the ninth with a walk from Drew Gagnier (1-1), who then walked Craig Manuel one out later. Stuart Pudenz came on in relief of Gagnier and promptly allowed the go ahead RBI single to Renda. Five Vermont pitchers combined to issue seven walks in the contest and Lake Monster hurlers have now walked 37 batters in the last seven games.

Auburn jumped out to a 2-0 lead with single runs in the first and second innings, including a solo homer in the first by 2011 Nationals first-round draft pick Anthony Rendon in his first at bat with the Doubledays on a rehab assignment.

Vermont tied the game in the fifth on a two-run homer from catcher Reynaldo Mateo, playing in his first game with the Lake Monsters after being promoted from the Arizona League A's, where he hit .400 (30-for-75) with five home runs and 27 RBI in 19 games.

The Doubledays retook the lead with two unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth off reliever Deyvi Jimenez on a Spencer Kieboom two-run single, but John Wooten extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a three-run homer off Auburn starter Nick Lee in the top of the sixth inning to give Vermont a 5-4 lead. The home run was the 12th overall and the first three-run shot of the season for the Lake Monsters.

Vermont had a chance for more runs with runners on second and third with one out in both the sixth and seventh innings, but were unable to score. The Lake Monsters then used a pair of Auburn errors to load the bases with one out in the eighth, but Kelvin Rojas grounded into an inning-ending double play to keep the game tied at five.

Mateo doubled in his first at bat to go along with his tworun homer, while Miguel Marte and Rojas both had two hits.

Vermont is now 2-17 when they opponent scores five or more runs in a game (Lake Monsters 16-3 when opponents four or less runs). Renda was 3-for-5 with a run scored to go along with his eighth-inning RBI single, while reliever Pedro En-
