MONTPELIER — On Jan. 6, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) delivered his inaugural address to a joint session of the General Assembly and special guests, including his parents, thanking the previous administration and outlining his plans for fiscal responsibility, job creation, health care reform, education, agriculture, entrepreneurial support and tax relief. Ò Thank you, Gov. Douglas, for 38 years of exemplary public service to the Green Mountain state. We are grateful for your hard work and sacrifice on our behalf and to Dorothy and your family for sharing so much of your life with us.Ó Shumlin began his speech with a story from his childhood, how one teacher spent countless hours after school teaching him how to read. Ò In the warm weather we sat on her lawn; in the cold weather we huddled around the wood stove; and slowly and creatively she taught me how to read,Ó he said.

His reading teacher never gave up on him.

“I share that part of my life today because we are living in difficult times and we need to be creative to overcome our challenges,Ó Shumlin said. Ò Let me be clear about the fiscal reality that our great state faces at this moment. After several years of making

MONTPELIER — On Wednesday, Jan. 5, Gov. Jim Douglas (R) delivered his farewell address to a joint session of the General Assembly, reflecting on the accomplishments of his administration and thanking Vermonters for the opportunity to serve.

Douglas also prepared Ò The Douglas Years: Dedicated to Vermonters,Ó a brief look back on the ideas, proposals, initiatives, issues, successes and challenges that marked his eight years as governor. Ò Thirty-eight years ago, in this very chamber, I was sworn in as the new member from Middlebury — humbled by the confidence of voters, motivated to represent my community and inspired to strengthen Vermont,Ó Douglas said. Ò Over the years I have been blessed to serve the people of this great state in different ways Ñ and in different eras Ñ culminating with the honor, and profound responsibility, of the governorship.Ó When Douglas contemplated running for governor in 2001, he outlined his reasons for wanting to serve in that office. Ò I love Vermont,Ó he had written. Ò I want every Vermonter to reach his or her highest potential. I want every child to begin life in good health, with a loving family, and

Young Writers Project continues to grow

By Joe Milliken

newmarketpress@denpubs.com

A group of young students who recently participated in the Young Writers project.

SUNDERLAND Ñ Established in 2006 by Geoffrey Gevalt, the Young Writers Project (YWP), a Vermont independent non-profit founded in 2006, recently paid a visit to the students at Sunderland Elementary School as part of a state-wide program that assists students in sharing their writing with others and helping them improve their writing skills.

The program helps students develop new

ways to utilize the Internet and digital technology, as well as training teachers and working with other media and arts-related partners to create external audiences for studentsÕ work and art. YWP strongly believes that providing an audience with objective feedback motivates young writers to work harder, learn more and become better overall writers. When young writers get critical feedback, it also improves studentsÕ critical thinking skills and their ability to re-think and improve their writing skills. ...Turn to page 10 to read more on Young Writers

MONTPELIER — In 2011, Vermont became the 24th state in the U.S. to institute an electronic waste (e-waste) recycling law, which will require all households, charities, school districts and small businesses to dispose of their electronic equipment at designated drop-off spots throughout the state.

As part of the Vermont E-Waste Recycling Program, administered by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the state is partnering with local solid waste management districts and businesses to offer free disposal of electronic waste starting on July 1, when electronic manufacturers will begin paying for the collection and recycling program. Solid waste districts are currently subsidizing the costs of e-waste collections, and consumers may have to pay a small fee to recycle most items, depending on the facility.

Vermont created an E-Waste program because “electronic devices contain toxic materials (including lead, mercury, and chromium) that should be managed responsibly as well as precious metals (such as gold) that should be recovered and recycled,” according to the DEC. Americans now own about 24 electronic products per household, according to the Consumer Electronics Association, and electronic waste is the fastest growing component of waste. In 2008, Vermont solid waste districts collected more than 1.6 million pounds of e-waste. Of the 2.25 million tons of electronic products ready for “end-of-life management” in 2007 in the U.S., 18 percent (414,000 tons) was collected for recycling and 82 percent (1.84 million tons) was thrown out, primarily in landfills, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

In 2003, California was the first state to pass an e-waste recycling law. Other states with similar laws include Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

By comparison, former Gov. David Paterson signed New York's electronic waste recycling law in the spring of 2010, requiring all manufacturers that sell electronic equipment in the state to have a free, convenient electronic waste recycling program in effect by April 1, 2011. Yet residents are not banned from disposing their electronic waste at landfills un-

New Hampshire does not have a comprehensive e-waste recycling law; however, the state has a law prohibiting the disposal of video display devices (including CRTs) in solid waste landfills or incinerators. Also, the State Department of Environmental Services is required to monitor the disposal of electronic waste. The law was passed in 2006 and took effect July 1, 2007.

‘Cello-bration’ honors Putney cellist BELLOWS FALLS/BRATTLEBORO — The Windham Orchestra will pay tribute to renowned cellist David Wells on Friday, Jan. 21, in Bellows Falls and Sunday, Jan. 23 in Brattleboro.

The program — titled “Cello-bration” — will feature an all-star cast of cellists with connections to southern Vermont performing a potpourri of works for cello(s) and orchestra.

A musician of great distinction and accomplishment, and winner of both the American Artists and Harold Bauer Awards, Wells is best known for his mastery of the Bach Suites for unaccompanied cello, and for his much-lauded performances with orchestras around the world. Wells has performed in the United States and Europe with the Manhattan Trio, Columbia Concert Trio, and the Hartt String Quartet. As a soloist known for his "intensely felt performances," he has been heard in the great repertoire from the Baroque through the 20th century in major cities throughout the world.

Wells has been a professor of cello and chamber music at Manhattan School of Music, New England Conservatory, and Hartt School of Music. He is a native of East Chicago, Indiana, and has been living in Putney, Vt. for more than four decades where he cofounded the Yellow Barn Music Festival with his wife, pianist Janet Wells.

The Windham Orchestra’s “Cello-bration” tribute, directed by Hugh Keelan, will feature guest cellists Zon Eastes, Timothy Merton, Eugene Friesen, and Judith Serkin; as well as Joan Esch, Michael Finckel, Pedro Pereira, and Sabine Rhyne. Wells, himself, will also grace the stage.

The works in the first half, and the guests of the Windham Orchestra who play them, honor David Wells. The first half of the concert amounts to a survey, rich in meaning, of smaller works for solo cellos in large ensemble. Each piece has a strong musical relationship with David; and each cellist has a

strong connection to southern Vermont, an area that has nurtured an exceptional number of fine cellists.

Antonio Vivaldi wrote over 25 concertos for cello and strings, but only one for two concertante cellos. Zon Eastes and Timothy Merton will perform Vivaldi’s Concerto for 2 Cellos, in which Vivaldi’s delight in instrumental flamboyance shows in the large leaps that string instruments relish, and the tenor register of the central largo.

“Around this plaintive duet, the minor key seems to urge Vivaldi towards the demonic and a gruffer bass register,” Keelan said. “The two soloists in general play a hard-fought game of calling and returning tightly-wound fragments, seldom lasting more than a handful of notes. Only at the close of the last movement do they permit one another room for a more expansive thought.”

The program continues with Grammywinning cellist Eugene Friesen featured in Antonín Dvofiák’s Silent Woods; and respected cellist Judith Serkin featured in Alexander Glazunov’s lovely and intimate Minstrel's Song.

Heitor Villa-Lobos’s most famous piece Aria from Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, features an orchestra of cellos as all eight cellists are joined on stage by soprano Margery McCrum. The first half of Cello-bration concludes with, a work of extraordinary directness of emotion and deep personal meaning for David Wells, Gabriel Fauré’s Elegy.

Following intermission, the Orchestra is joined by the all-star cast of cellists for Johannes Brahms’ pastoral Symphony No. 2.

“The first movement moves at an untroubled pace, quietly powerful, interested neither in overtaking nor dropping back, that suggests a deep and benign natural process.

An expansive recurring passage seems to refer to the famous 'Brahms' Lullaby', and the movement ends with a coy smile”, explains Keelan.

The second movement finds the cellos introducing a brooding subject whose dark and somber mood continues until the movement's conclusion.

“Back to 'pastoral' for the Allegretto,” Keelan said. “With such grazioso wit and charm Brahms banishes the furrowed brow of the slow movement. All is teasing, whimsical exploration, understated sentiment that only for moments rises above a whisper.

The finale too begins with a whisper. It's the whispered secretive comedy of a farce, stifled giggles behind curtains, explosive guffaws, discovery, some serious difficulties come to light, reconciliation, a happy ending. Truly a comedy this music, with all the warmth and love that comedy embodies.”

The Cello-bration will be held at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, Jan. 21 at Bellows Falls Opera House in Bellows Falls and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 23 at the Latchis Theatre in Brattleboro. Tickets are $15, $7 for students and seniors. The Windham Orchestra is a program of the Brattleboro Music Center. Tickets are available in advance at the BMC, by phone at (802)

David Wells 257-4523, online at www.bmcvt.org, and at Village Square Bookstore in Bellows Falls.

Women’s chorus rehearsals to begin RUTLAND — Ladies’ Night Out Women’s Chorus is starting rehearsals at the Rutland Middle School Music Room Tuesday Jan. 25, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Instead of auditions, new singers are asked to attend the first rehearsal, and their continuation with the choir for the semester will be a mutual decision between the director and the new singer.

Singers interested in attending should call the director, Lucy Allen Tenenbaum, at (802) 775-8004 so they know how many are expected at the rehearsal. They are singing an exciting and varied program of songs that are (loosely) about nature. The type of music ranges from classical composers including Debussy, Clara Schumann and Brahms,

to spirituals and madrigals, as well as contemporary pieces for women’s voices. The pianist this semester is Jacob McLaughlin.

There is a $25 fee for the semester. The rehearsals are every Tuesday except the school vacation weeks in February and April, and the concert is May 10 at College of St. Joseph’s Tuttle Theater.

The purpose of the choir is two-fold: to make wonderful music for the singers and the audience to enjoy, and to make new friends. Women of all ages are welcome.

Reading music is a big help, but we have rehearsal CDs, and over the long rehearsal period there is time to learn all the music whatever your skill level. Singing in tune is essential.

Hydration, hydration

P

arents have been thirsty to ask me questions about how they can tell if their infant or young child is getting dehydrated due to a stomach virus or other illness. Well, let me see if I can fill up everyone’s knowledge tank with some information on this topic.

Dehydration occurs when your body lacks enough water and body salts to keep it working right. When severe, this condition can result in life-threatening situations such as convulsions and dangerous heart rhythms. You normally lose water when you sweat, urinate, and even breathe, but you can lose more than normal if you have a virus that makes you throw up, causes diarrhea or increases your sweating due to a fever. We normally drink enough liquids to replace the water we lose every day, but if a virus makes us feel nauseous we may not want to drink enough to stay hydrated. People who have been out in the heat too long or who are doing vigorous athletic activity are also at risk for dehydration.

So what are some signs of dehydration? Older children may tell you they are thirsty (which is actually a late sign that dehydration is under way, not an early one) and may also appear lightheaded, dizzy or tired. Their lips or mouth may appear dry and they may complain of a rapid heartbeat as well.

Infants may also show dry lips, lack tears when they cry, have sunken eyes, or a very sunken soft spot on the top of their heads. You might also notice a decrease in the frequency and the amount of urination for at least six to eight hours.

So what should you do if your child feels sick and doesn’t want to drink?

Instead of forcing lots of fluids all at once, give your child small sips once or twice an hour.

Don’t give large amounts of soda or other caffeinated beverages since caffeine can make you want to urinate more, just when you need to be holding on to fluids.

If your infant is able to breastfeed and is only experiencing losses due to diarrhea, continue to breastfeed since that can keep your baby well hydrated.

Eating popsicles is another great way to get fluids into your child to hydrate them if they don’t want to drink but check with your child’s doctor to see if more fluids than what is contained in a popsicle is needed to help your child overcome dehydration When do we worry? If your child is not holding fluids down, has no urine for eight to 12 hours, and feels dizzy when they stand up, then seek medical attention. Your doctor will want to examine your child for why the dehydration is occurring, and rarely may recommend rehydrating your child with an intravenous saltwater solution.

Hopefully tips like this will dry up all your concerns when it comes to knowing more about whether or not your child may be getting dehydrated.

Time to fix what’s broke in Montpelier W

ith the statehouse awash in ambitious schemes to enlarge government, expand the tax base, deliver ever more services, increase dependency, and impose new mandates on businesses, one major avenue of real reform is chronically overlooked: repealing the ideas of yesteryear that didn’t work, proved counterproductive, or were downright destructive.

Here's a selection of candidates for repeal from among Montpelier’s long roster of mistakes.

This highly touted Challenge for Change scheme for closing the state's annoying general fund budget (Act 68 of 2010) has one success to its credit. It allowed Sen. Shumlin, Speaker Smith and Gov. Douglas to share a photo op announcing the coming solution of the FY2011 budget problem.

The budgeteers dutifully booked the declared “savings” and headed home to be reelected. Most of the projected $38 million in “savings” got lost somewhere along the way. This is especially true in education, where the Commissioner could only plead with school districts to stop spending money so he could meet his Challenge for Change targets.

Repeal this foolishness and launch a real performance review, as promised in the 2004 Democratic platform but promptly forgotten in 2005.

The 2006 legislature passed, and Gov. Douglas dutifully signed, a feel good law (Act 168) to put Vermont in the forefront of the titanic battle against the Menace of Global Warming. It mandates a state action plan to lower our greenhouse gas emissions to an astonishing 50 percent of 1990 levels by 2050. Achieving this goal will necessitate job-killing emissions quotas, mandates, taxes, cap and trade schemes and prosecutions.

Attorney General Jerry Brown of California, now Governor again, used an almost identical statute (AB 32) to threaten to stop new factories that would emit greenhouse gases. Vermont attorney general William Sorrell has pointedly refused to say that he won’t do the same thing to stop growth in Vermont. Repeal this incipient monster before it drives businesses out of the state and kills many of the good jobs we have left.

Act 48 of 2009, a Shumlin favorite, pressured the Milk Commission to mandate subsidies to dairy farmers, price controls on grocers, and price increases on mothers buying milk for their children. Repeal this milk tax authority before new Shumlin appointees, unlike Douglas’s, impose this scheme without a vote of the legislature.

Act 160 of 1992 included a provision strongly favored by Gov. Dean and physicians, to send medical malpractice cases to arbitration. Unfortunately the law directed this to happen

only when a sweeping health care “reform” plan was in place. That effort crashed in flames in 1994. Repealing the effective date language would bring this needed reform to life.

Act 62 of 2007 gave the key to the education fund to any school district that wants to launch a preschool program.

The universal preschool law will produce no identifiable and lasting educational benefits, charge the taxpayers for universal day care, put severe pressure on independent day care and early education providers, and offer no true parental choice. Repeal this costly monument to false claims and focus early education on the ten percent of kids who will actually be helped by it.

Act 2 of 2005 put Vermont into the Illinois-sponsored ISaveRx drug importation program. The Illinois governor boosting it was impeached and removed from office, the program was shut down in 2009 for waste and drug safety concerns, and Vermonters long ago forgot it existed. Repeal it.

Act 160 of 2006 declared that the general assembly must approve before the Public Service Board can issue a certificate of public good for the continued operation of a nuclear power plant. This year, a majority of legislators may well vote Vermont Yankee off the island, regardless of the serious economic consequences. Repealing this language in Act 160 would be a far better choice.

Even Vermont’s Supreme Court has hammered Criterion 10 of Act 250 of 1970, requiring a development applicant to conform to vague and aspirational town plans. Repealing “town plan” in favor of “approved zoning bylaws” would remove this arguably illegal roadblock to development.

Finally, repealing the words “age and” in the health insurance laws (Act 160 of 1992), to again allow insurance companies to charge premiums based on age-related risk, would be a valuable step. This assumes, of course, that the Gov. Shumlin and the Democratic legislature fall short of making health insurance illegal altogether.

Hey, lady, it’s time to hibernate, soak the carcass

N

ote to lady who wrote me on Facebook: I always treat January as a hibernatory, reflective, inlooking month. It’s about slowing my heartbeat and projecting positive thoughts on the future. Of course, I try to do that every day, but, with January being cold, dark, and for me slow regarding travel and shows, it’s a perfect month to soak the carcass, stoke the stove, trim the toe-nails, smoke a cigar, and smile as much as I can ... if only to set the tone for the rest of the New Year. So! Time to boil water (Ma got me two great tea cups and saucers, normal sized ones, not big, very delicate, over sizing is so 2000s) and make some mint tea. Add a bit of honey, and get some work done, in that order, and maybe take a break and find something in the house to take to the give-away bin at the dump.

Hope you’re doing well, even though we don’t really know each other.

Note to my buddy, a former roommate from my NYC days, after he’d visited this for a couple days just before Christmas: Well, the tree is down, man. Took er down yesterday.

The thing is, we put it up the 18th, you came, Holly came, Christmas and New Years came, and BANG, it’s as if it all never happened. Think of a way to slow time and you’re richer than Bill Gates. So strange. I think when we’re young we don’t care about things passing fast, they just pass and we let em, we just let them pass. Now we’re older and we want recently passed moments to stay with us, and be fresh every time we think about them. So really time doesn’t go by faster, we just want to hold on to more of it. SOME PHILOSOPHICAL STUFF, HUH — I look at where the tree was and it’s as if it never was Be good, Sambo, rd.

It’s January, the Rodney Dangerfield of months. The first week or so we’re stoned on year-end festivities, holidays and that. We’re putting stuff away and getting back in our groove, such as our groove is. Then mid-January, and though a day’s light lasts a little longer, it’s cold, or damp, or snowy, or rainy, and uninspiring, or all the above. Then what seems like a never ending list of days leads us to Jan. 31, and the long month of January is over, as if it never happened. January, for yet another year, is forgotten.

February is short and has lots of holidays. President’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Charles Dicken’s Day, yup, no kidding. February is Black History Month and is the month the planet Pluto was discovered. And, of course, every four years February gives us leap year. February has personality.

March usually is the month we get our largest amount of

snow, so if you like snow, you like March. Then, too, March can give us the first signs that spring will once again arrive, so if you like spring, you like March. And Dr. Seuss was born March 2. That, and that the word march is just a cool stand-alone word, gives March more “cool month” votes then January, without even trying.

So see, January (I know, Martin Luther King Day is in January, and no offense to Mr. King, but that holiday started since I’ve been alive, so it doesn’t seem as pure as the real old ones), holds nothing much special beyond its ability to sweep past so fast it doesn’t allow time for us to become bored with it. BUT. And this is a big BUT here. Hahaha, just cracked myself up. Whoa, just did it again. Big BUT — cracked — haha. Anyway, back to the point. BUT, January to me is important. I love it. Beyond what I said in the first note on top of the column, January is as pretty a month as any.

January’s light harkens historical figures hunting and gathering and eating food cooked over a raw fire inside a glowing cabin. Mmmm, venison stew with carrots from the garden, and tea, and soda bread for desert. That was then, this is now.

January, even in 2011, is beautiful. This morning ice formed on the needles of the pines, and the branches that hold the leaves, not the branches that hold the branches that hold the leaves, which is important to make clear cause the branches that hold the leaves are thinner and at the far reaches of the trees, and when iced look interesting, and perfect, and beautiful … almost fake. Almost fake.

January might be my favorite month. It’s there for you to take a rest. So you should. Rest this January. If you miss anything it won’t matter, because you won’t remember January anyway. It happens way back in January.

West Rutland woman helps deliver medical care to Nicaragua HAMDEN — Melissa Weber, of West Rutland, is among an interdisciplinary team of Quinnipiac University health sciences students who are visiting Nicaragua this month to deliver medical care and host educational presentations for local people in and near the City of León.

“This group characterizes our physical and occupational therapy students. I am delighted with their selfless dedication and creative energy,” said Maureen Helgren, associate professor of physical therapy at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn.

Helgren is one of four faculty members accompanying the 15 physical therapy and occupational therapy majors — a mix of graduate and undergraduate students — on the Jan. 3-13 trip.

Two nursing professors are also going to explore roles for nursing students, who will join future trips. Quinnipiac's Albert Schweitzer Institute coordinates annual service trips to areas of need in Nicaragua.

“Our primary goal is provide quality care to the people of Nicaragua who are not able to access therapy services otherwise, along with providing the Nicaraguan professionals with rehabilitation knowledge,” said occupational therapy graduate student Danielle Quinn, a student leader on the trip.

Quinn also acknowledged the trip’s challenges.

“The experiences will push students to use their minds creatively and implement interventions with the most minimal supplies, time, and technology,” she said.

Student teams will serve in an orphanage for children with special needs, where they will evaluate children and devise treatment plans. They will also see patients in a rural clinic and at home to evaluate patients and environments and make suggestions to enhance function.

“This is not about working in Nicaragua for a week, as if we are filling in for a therapist who is away,” Helgren said.

“It is about connecting with others in a sustainable way. For example, providing a customized seating device for a child with neurological dysfunction has ongoing benefits for that child's social and cognitive abilities.”

Students have also scheduled two days of educational presentations at a hospital in León, where they will give lectures and workshops for local medical personnel, including doctors, nurses and rehabilitation specialists.

“What will be unique about this experience is the chance to be immersed in a different culture and the opportunity to infuse creativity in the clinical processes,” said Salvador Bondoc, associate professor of occupational therapy. “The creativity comes when students are faced with the challenge of providing services when there are extremely limited resources.”

Physical therapy graduate student Adam Kesten said the trip offers Quinnipiac students a rare opportunity.

“In this country, we live a very privileged life, and it's not every day we get a chance to give back by helping out those less fortunate,” Kesten said. “Everything we have learned in all of our classes will impact our ability to piece together the problems we will see and plan the best course of rehabilitation for each specific person.”

Students going to Nicaragua include: Adam Kesten, of Randolph, N.J.; Kristyn Wielgosz, of Meriden; Meredith Gebel, of West Long Branch, N.J.; Erin Sargent, of Tyngsboro, Mass.; Jon Rovan, of Newtown, N.J.; Bridget Assip, of Bellrose, N.Y.; Jennifer Weber, of Southboro, Mass.; Lauren Laferte, of Woonsocket, R.I.; Keniel McLennon, of Bridgeport; Amy Johnson, of Reading, Mass.; Melissa Weber, of West Rutland, Vt.; Larisa Bogdan, of Lynbrook, N.Y.; Brittany Michel, of Agawam, Mass.; Lindsey Raffol, of Natick, Mass.; and Danielle Quinn, of Sackets Harbor, N.Y. Quinnipiac is a private, coeducational, nonsectarian institution. For more information, please visit online at www.quinnipiac.edu.

Rockwell mural moved from Rutland to Montpelier ‘Maple Sugaring in Vermont’ finds its way home MONTPELIER — The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets recently announced that Norman Rockwell's “Maple Sugaring in Vermont” mural was recently moved from the Norman Rockwell Museum of Vermont in Rutland to its original home here at the Agency's office Many may not know that the acclaimed artist Norman Rockwell shared a long history with Vermont and Vermont agriculture. In 1939, Norman and his wife and children moved to Arlington, Vt. where he enjoyed the company of his rural neighbors — many of whom became his best models and most honest critics.

Rockwell also forged a friendship with Col. Henry Fairfax Ayres. Col. Ayres was a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and served in WWI and WWII. He retired to Vermont in 1937 and was appointed the chairman of the Vermont Sugar Makers Association.

Col. Fairfax brought science to the sugarbush — inventing the “Thermodrometer.”

This device was revolutionary to maple sugaring.

The partnership between Rockwell and Ayres resulted

in a mural that Ayres commissioned from Rockwell and dedicated to the Department of Agriculture.

The mural hung in the lobby of the department for years until repairs to the building were needed. It was then moved to the Rockwell Museum in Rutland for safe keeping.

After many years, the mural has found its way home to the Agency of Agriculture.

“The mural is lovely and an authentic representation of sugaring in Vermont — our signature product,” said outgoing Agriculture Secretary Roger Allbee. “We are so pleased to be able to dis-

play this special mural here at the agency. I want to especially thank the Rockwell Museum for taking such good care of this treasure.”

Allbee also thanked Mark Patane and Diane Zamos, as well as artist Paul Gruhler, who was instrumental in transporting the mural safely, Bruce Martell and Don and Betty Lockhart and Col. Henry Fairfax Ayres, for his generous donation.

“After many years, the mural has found its way home to the Agency of Agriculture,” Allbee said. “It reminds us that times and techniques may change, but Vermont maple syrup is still the best there is.”

Peter Shumlin From page 1 necessary but painful spending cuts, we are still confronted with a $150 million shortfall in the next fiscal year. Our economic challenges are real, and so is my firm commitment to address them responsibly and swiftly — with hard, sometimes painful but sustainable choices.”

Balancing the state budget is only one aspect of Shumlin’s proposed economic overhaul. Job creation is another.

“A clear vision for job growth and a bold plan to deliver that vision is what Vermont needs right now … Vermont’s diversified jobs future is bright. Manufacturing, deployment and production of renewable energy and efficiency, tourism, technology, and agriculture are all sectors of our economy with potential for unlimited growth.

“As we work to put Vermonters back to work, one job at a time, let us always be mindful that government does not create jobs; entrepreneurs do. What government must do is to make the necessary infrastructure choices that are essential to job growth for this new era. This agenda consists of five goals: expanding broadband, containing health care costs, educating our work force, providing tax fairness and credit for emerging businesses, and supporting a renaissance in Vermont agriculture. It is big, it is ambitious, and it is achievable if we view it as our common purpose.”

Shumlin announced a new initiative — Connect VT — which promises high-speed Internet access and cell service throughout Vermont b 2013.

“If not confronted, our connectivity deficit will relegate us to an economic backwater,” he said.

Health care reform is also on Shumlin’s agenda, given the ever-increasing costs to residents and businesses. Those costs for the state have doubled, from $2.5 billion to more than $5 billion, in 10 years.

“That’s why we must create a single-payer healthcare system that provides universal, affordable health insurance for all Vermonters that brings these skyrocketing costs under control,” Shumlin said.

Shumlin reinforced his commitment to education and its importance to Vermont’s economic future.

“It should be the policy of the state of Vermont that learning never ends,” he said. “Working together in a partnership with our educational community we will close the gap between those Vermonters who want work and our job creators who have work to do.”

Shumlin said agriculture in Vermont has potential for growth and that state officials should work with the Congressional delegation to support fair prices for dairy farmers, since Vermont produces more tan 60 percent of New England’s milk. There are also market opportunities for Vermont-made food.

“The renaissance in Vermont agriculture is rooted in the growing concern by consumers across America about where and how their food is produced,” he said. “Consumers are increasingly demanding locally grown, chemical-free, high quality food. We must take Vermont’s strengths — buy local, farmers markets, farm to plate, Vermont Fresh Network restaurants — and expand our view of local to everything within 200 miles of Vermont, which includes Manhattan, Boston, and Montreal. Investing in processing and bottling facilities, combined with a dynamic marketing effort for Vermont quality foods, will bring our farmers the valueadded price that they deserve for a hard day’s work, and they will prosper.”

Supporting entrepreneurs, according to Shumlin, is one key to job growth, but emerging enterprises and businesses first need access to capital and credit. Shumlin supports the existing EB-5 program.

“We must take this program to levels not imagined by its creators,” he said. “EB-5 gives us a vehicle not only to raise essential capital, but also to spread Vermont’s stellar reputation from one end of the globe to another.”

Tax relief will also help the economic climate in Vermont, according to Shumlin.

“We must develop a tax policy that grows our customer base and grows wealth ... In order to grow jobs and be more competitive with neighboring states, we must resist the temptation to raise broad-based taxes.”

Shumlin admits that his plan is job-growth plan is ambitious, even without his administration’s other priorities: reducing recidivism for non-violent offenders; rebuilding roads and bridges; reforming campaign finance laws; and making government more transparent.

“Our obstacles are many, and our challenges are daunting … We must intensify our individual efforts to nurture the health and well being of our state and its people. Together we can be bold. Together we must be bold. Let’s begin now. Thank you.”

Jim Douglas From page 1 eager to learn. I want every young Vermonter to be able to access a higher education and to secure meaningful and rewarding work. I want families to be able to afford a home and ultimately to enjoy retirement in comfort and dignity ...”

Douglas said he carried that piece of paper with him every day.

“This vision was at the center of every discussion, every proposal and every decision. My inspiration never changed.

My motivation never wavered.”

Of his four, two-year terms as governor, Douglas said he is most proud of health care reform, community safety, environmental protection, and the state’s economy and fiscal strength.

“Over the last eight years we fought back against two global recessions, including the deepest downturn since the Great Depression. We did that with fiscal discipline and innovative economic development strategies to encourage employers to expand here and others to locate here. We renewed our commitment to our traditional industries by helping those who keep our working landscapes working.

We leveraged our natural gifts in support of our tourism economy and helped Vermont businesses realize greater access to emerging foreign markets. We took steps to make our permitting system more predictable and our tax policies more competitive.

“Vermont’s brand of quality, our deserved reputation for a well-educated workforce and our commitment to environmental excellence make this a great place to start or grow a business.”

As he prepared to hand over “the reins to a new administration,” Douglas wished Gov.-Elect Peter Shumlin and his team “the very best,” and he reflected on 38 years of state service before heading home to Middlebury for the last time as Vermont’s 80th governor.

“I’ve focused all of my energies on a singular purpose — to make Vermont a better place. Across thousands of miles, through bright morning dawns and days that stretched to night, though sometimes weary, I never lost faith in the promise of Vermont. And as the long arc of my career draws close, I look back and know with all certainty that our state and her people have been most worthy of a life’s work.

“In the years to come, as I pass over the high gaps of the Green Mountains and take in the full breadth of Vermont — from its clear flowing waters up to its majestic crowns — I will be forever thankful for this land we call home.”

Marji Graf, Executive Director for the Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce welcomes Betsy Hart, of Ivy On the Green in Chester. Ivy on the Green offers a variety of jewelry, gifts, accessories, with a selection of eco-friendly merchandise and Vermont-made products.

Young Writers From page 1 Gevalt brings 32 years of journalism experience to the project as the managing editor of the Burlington Free Press. In 2003, he began working with the Vermont Chapter of the National Writing Project, creating a weekly feature that offered tips about teaching writing to students.

Within a three-year period, the project had grown by leaps and bounds, with some 850 pieces of writing submitted during the 2005-06 school year. Then, in 2006, Gevalt was given a two-year grant to expand the program from the Vermont Business Roundtable (VBR). VBR is a group of over a hundred CEOs from many of Vermont’s leading companies, non-profits and colleges who recognized the importance of this program.

In the summer of 2006, Young Writers Project, Inc. was incorporated as an independent 501(c)3 corporation and work began on expanding its impact. Since then, new projects have included the published writing works of more than 3,000 students in its newspaper series, which was generated from more than 21,000 submissions from more than 300 Vermont towns and New Hampshire schools.

YWP also created a student-led Web site called youngwritersproject.org, which has over 3,500 active users and nearly 700 hits a day on the site. Students share articles and writing projects, both receive and give feedback, post podcasts and songs and connect with other young writers throughout the Twin State region. They also created a successful college mentoring program in which about 50 college students each semester, give feedback to writers at the Web site.

They even developed the innovative Digital Writing Classrooms, which are private, fully supported Web sites available for teachers and after school programs to assist in the teaching of writing. Through these sites, YWP is currently working with more than 30 schools and assisting about 5,000 students.

The numbers say it all: 35,000 submissions a year, nearly 4,000 students published through the six daily and three weekly newspapers and over 4,000 students registered on the Web site. No matter which way you look at it, the Young Writers Program is certainly doing its part to keep alive “the power of the pen.”

Poultney to host annual downtown conference

By Joe Milliken newmarketpress@denpubs.com POULTNEY — The town of Poultney was recently chosen to host the third annual Vermont Downtown Conference, in conjunction with another state conference — the Preservation Trust of Vermont Conference — which happens in April.

The conference host town is chosen by the Preservation Trust of Vermont along with Vermont Downtown Coordinator Leann Tingny.

“There are a lot of positive things going on in the town of Poultney right now,” Tingny said in a recent interview. “Poultny also has an amazing group of volunteers, including a 15-person Downtown Preservation Committee that really works hard and does a great job.”

The Vermont Downtown Program is a component of the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation and each year, they part-

ner with the Preservation Trust of Vermont to host the statewide conference. The conference was created in order to promote workshops and speaking engagements that focus on the organization and promoting of the state’s 23 designated downtown areas.

Poultney was chosen for this year ’s conference based on the town’s strong commitment to the town preservation committee and to the 15 volunteers dedicated to upgrading the look of town’s Main Street. It is efforts such as this that make Poultey an ideal choice for such a community-orientated effort.

Speaking engagements have not yet been lined up for the conference; however, talks are already in the works to possibly hold the conference at Green Mountain College, as well as other downtown spaces. Preliminary plans are to have talks about how local businesses can stay open and thrive in the current economy. The town’s chamber of commerce and other local businesses will be invited to the conference as well.

Hunger Free Vermont: Same mission to end childhood hunger, new name SOUTH BURLINGTON — Vermont’s leading anti-hunger advocacy organization, the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger, launched its new name recently as Hunger Free Vermont.

Since 1993 the organization’s outreach and advocacy have significantly enhanced Vermont’s nutrition safety net and broadened access to healthy food for Vermont’s children and families.

“While we will continue to focus on feeding Vermont’s kids, we wanted our name to also reflect our work and commitment to the nutrition needs of Vermont’s adults and seniors,” said Marissa Parisi, executive director of Hunger Free Vermont.

Hunger Free Vermont works to advocate for policy that expands and improves meal programs in school, afterschool and summer programs, and in child care. Additionally, Hunger Free Vermont works to improve the 3SquaresVT benefit (formerly Food Stamps) so that more Vermonters are eligible and that those that are eligible have the tools necessary to enroll. In order to improve the nutrition of all Vermonters, Hunger Free Vermont advocates for improved quality of the food in all meal programs, including incorporating fresh, local foods, as well as offers The Learning Kitchen program which teaches low-income youth and adults how to prepare healthy meals on a budget.

Vermont is ranked the ninth hungriest state in the nation with one in seven Vermonters of all ages living in food insecure households.

“The effects of hunger are devastating for vulnerable Vermonters,” Parisi said. “The name Hunger Free Vermont reflects our work and vision as advocates and educators who believe in solving hunger not just for today, but for a lifetime.”

Ross named Vt. agriculture secretary

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com

The Greater Springfield Vermont Area Habitat for Humanity is pleased to invite the public to the open house for their recently completed three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath ranch home at 2 Wall St. Court, Springfield, on Saturday, Jan. 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The new home utilizes many advanced energy efficient construction techniques and includes an energy-efficient boiler donated by Rinnai, a solar domestic hot water system donated and installed by HB Plumbing and Heating, and doors donated and installed by Jeld-Wen.

MONTPELIER — Shortly after Gov. Peter Shumlin moved into the office space at the Pavilion Jan. 6, he named Charles “Chuck” Ross, of Hinesburg, as the new secretary of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets.

For the past 16 years, Ross has served as the state director for U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT). Prior to that appointment, he was a farmer and legislator from Hinesburg. He served six years in the Vermont State Legislature, including a stint as the chair of the House Natural Resource and Energy Committee. Ross, 54, has also served on the Board of Directors at Shelburne Farms; on the Advisory Board of the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at UVM; and as an advisory member of the Vermont Council on Rural Development.

“Chuck has exhibited a commitment to agriculture in the state and nationally,” said outgoing Agriculture Secretary Roger Allbee in a prepared statement. “This appointment shows further commitment to the work

Charles “Chuck” Ross that the agency does to support our producers and the open, working landscape so important to our state. Mr. Ross has the background, experience, knowledge, vision and connections to work aggressively to move Vermont agriculture forward on every level.”

PLEASE HELP! My children’s hearts are broken. Our Sunshine has been missing since November 23, 2010, the same day that our dog Shady staggered into our home bleeding from the head and mouth, dying from wounds inflicted by a hollow shell bullet. Its is bad enough to loose a member of our family but to never find the body of the other is cruel. Please help us put Sunshine to rest humanely with closure for my children and I, and so we know, at least in death she has the dignity she rightfully deserves. Sunshine is a german shepard/golden retreiver mix. Her color is brindle and she has a bobbed tail.

We hope and pray still a friendly dog.

Please help us have a New Year miracle.

If you know of her whereabouts, please call us at 802-349-3489. Last seen at Silver Hill Road, Witherbee on the morning of November 23rd.
