Downtown Poultney receives $3,500 By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MONTPELIER—Vermont Lt. Gov. Phil Scott (D) and Buildings and General Services Commissioner Mike Obuchowski (D) awarded $151,000 to eight projects from a new grant program established by the Legislature in 2012. Scott said the Poultney Downtown Revitalization Committee received $3,500. The Regional Economic Development Grant program will assist projects ranging from pre-construction work in Bellows Falls to entrepreneurial support in Poultney. This is the first time that this program has been made available and there was a limit of $25,000 per project. Lt. Gov. Phil Scott praised the winners of the REDG awards. “The flexibility of this program allows for applicants to be very creative and I am very impressed by the projects that were funded,” Scott said. Obuchowski leads the department that administers the REDG awards, as well as the recreational facilities and human services and educational facilities grant programs. “I am delighted that the Vermont Legislature added a new grant program to our portfolio,” Obuchowski said. “These funds will provide much-needed capital to eight very good economic development projects.” Projects that received funding include: Islands Center for Arts and Recreation $15,000.

Celebrate Vermont's hunting, fishing heritage, Jan 18-20 Yankee Sportsman's Classic Show
By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com ESSEX JUNCTION — Nineteenth-century frontiersman, scout, hunter, and fur-trapper Hugh Glass probably could have learned a thing or two by visiting the annual Yankee Sportsman's Classic Show held at the Miller Expo Center in Essex Junction. In August 1823, while hunting for food as a scout for the overland Henry Expedition along the Grand River in what later became Dakota Territory, an angry momma grizzly bear charged Glass and nearly mauled him to death. Left to die in the wilderness by his companions, Glass eventually crawled and limped his way more than 200 miles to the safety of Fort Kiowa. Early on, during the bloody odyssey, Glass rested his mauled, oozing back on a rotting log for two days. He wanted maggots to consume his dead flesh as a means to prevent gangrene. Now if Glass had attended the hunting and fishing presentations at the Yankee Sportsman's Classic Show, he might have learned, first, that you can be easily rid of a ticked-off momma grizzly with a few sprays of UDAP Magnum Bear Spray—a highly condensed mixture of pepper spray-in-a-can with a range of 20 feet; it’s the world’s best guarantee to ward off any bear attack. It’s certainly See YANKEE SPORTSMAN’S, page 5

Killington "lost skier" incidents taxing police By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com
In less than two weeks, the new year has seen an unacceptable amount of skiers, primarily at Killington Mountain, intentionally leaving the marked trails and eventually having to call for assistance. The Vermont State Police will be looking to work with Killington Resort to curtail reckless and poorly thought out acts by skiers. Photo by Petr Kratochvil
KILLINGTON — On Jan. 8, at approximately 4:30 p.m., the Vermont State Police received two 911 calls from two skiers who had intentionally skied off the main trails at Killington Mountain and were now lost. They were identified as:Trevor Smith, 21, and Christopher Feehan, 21, both from New Jersey. The skiers became lost and had separated from each other. Smith was advising that he was not doing well as he had gotten wet during the decent. State Police began tracking the two skiers via GPS and eventually the two located each other and were being talked down when Smith began experiencing serious fatigue, became incoherent, and would not respond to State Police and ski patrol requests to keep moving. Smith eventually stopped moving, was reportedly unconscious and Killington ski patrol rapidly sent four members in via a hiking trail in Mendon. Both Smith and Feehan were eventually assisted out at approximately 10 p.m., five and a half hours after the first call to 911 and were both checked out medically and released. In less than two weeks, the new year has seen an unacceptable amount of skiers, primarily at Killington See Lost Skiers, page 2

According to the Vermont State Police, such “lost skier” calls place a large drain on State Police resources. In a news statement, the VSP said it will look to work with Killington Mountain in an effort to curtail “reckless and poorly thought out acts” by skiers “who are not physically and mentally prepared” to deal with harsh winter conditions. Other ski areas have also heard from the VSP regarding "lost skier" incidents.

Brain-injury survivor finds inspiration via student ‘Brain Bee’
Lisa Bernardin
Local high-school students involved
By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY — Neuroscience is one of the fastest growing areas in medical science. It is also an area with superior career opportunities for students with the drive, discipline, and scientific skills to get involved. “The Vermont Regional Brain Bee is an exciting, creative way to promote interest and awareness, especially among young people,� said Lisa Bernardin, coordinator of the Bee. “It was established as a competition for high school students who are interested in neuroscience and the human brain. Students demonstrate their knowledge at the annual Vermont Regional Brain Bee which is held at the University of Vermont in February.� Bernardin coordinates the Brain Bee, which was developed and run by Diane Jaworski, Ph.D., a UVM associate professor of anatomy and neurobiology. Jaworski’s founding premise for the Brain Bee here in Vermont was to present a challenge to area high schools: “To motivate our young students to learn about the brain and inspire them to seek careers in the basic and clinical neurosciences to help treat and cure diseases of the brain and nervous system.� As a school speech-language pathologist, Bernardin has a logical reason for getting interested in the Vermont Brain Bee. But she is
A 2012 meeting of the Vermont Brain Bee Committee with Middlebury College’s Mark Stefani, Ph.D., Sharon Leach, Ph.D., Rae Nishi, Ph.D., and Lisa Bernardin. Miss-
ing are Tony Morielli, Ph.D., and Diane Jaworski, Ph.D. also a survivor of brain injury, so that makes her doubly committed. Her involvement with the Brain Bee is a testament to her own struggle in overcoming the injury. As a result, the Brain Bee has benefited from her personal touch; it was the recent recipient of “a small and inspiring� grant from the Vermont Community Foundation. Dr. Mark Stefani, a Middlebury College neuroscience professor, dispatches his undergraduate students to teach Vermont high school students about the exciting field. In addition to Stefani, Bernardin has successfully motivated other educators—and students—to become even more involved. “For example, Vergennes, Middlebury, and Mt. Abraham Union High Schools have their own Brain Clubs. At VUHS, it’s coordinated by Mike Mazzolla, the anatomy teacher there. Recently, Deirdre Sackett, a Middlebury College neuroscience student, was Skyping with the Vergennes club members about brain functions.� Recently, Bernardin visited the MUHS student Brain Science Club and presented a dis-
cussion, titled �Our Brains: How They Change�. Kathryn Benson, a Middlebury College neuroscience undergraduate, also spoke at the meeting. While the deadline for students to sign up for the 2013 Brain Bee has passed, those already signed up are looking forward to the big Feb. 3 statewide event to be held on the UVM campus. The Vermont winner goes on to the National Brain Bee in Baltimore in March during Brain Awareness Week. The NBB winner, in turn, will then be eligible to attend the International Brain Bee. “I feel fortunate to be alive and functioning with my brain intact,� Bernardin said. And by helping to build better brains, she, and others, involved with the Vermont Brain Bee—and its related high school brain clubs—will help join the fight against brain disorders. Check It Out: To get invovled with the Vermont Brain Bee, or to start a Brain Science Club at your high school, contact Lisa Bernardin at vermontbrainbee@gmail.com or call 802-388-2720.

Vt heat tax a bad idea Are kids pointed in the right direction? V O
ermont’s history is replete with examples of terrible laws made by good intentioned, but ultimately misguided lawmakers. And since “we the people” elected these misguided lawmakers to state office, it becomes our job to manage them, and minimize the damage caused by their good intentions. Here’s the latest example of Vermont’s good intentions that has managed to torque off lots of voters—from homeowners to small business owners. The newest “progressive” idea floating around the capitol building is to establish a statewide excise tax on heating fuel—possibly up to 11 cents per gallon. Blame this one on the Vermont Department of Public Service’s Thermal Efficiency Task Force. It wants to raise $276 million in new taxes that would, in part, fund a new government program to encourage Vermonters to use less heating fuel. As a Vermont homeowner, renter, or small business person, do you really want to pay another tax to compel you to use less heating fuel? It makes me wonder where all those button-down, Jimmy Carter-style cardigan sweaters will come from when we’ll really need them? The Vermont Heat Tax proposal is very bad idea. For starters, state records show that heating-oil consumption has been declining statewide since the 1970s. And this has happened at the same time Vermont’s population has been increasing by 55 percent. According to the Energy Information Administration, the Vermont average per home consumption declined 45 percent by 1990, 52 percent by 2000, and 61 percent by 2010. Ergo—Vermonters don’t need to be told by Montpelier to use less heating fuel. We already are. In fact, I’d say we’ve done a pretty darn good job of reducing our fuel consumption without state government officials butting in. Hello? We don’t need to be taxed to use less. Now, if you do the math regarding the proposed Vermont Heat Tax, the average homeowner—you and me—will end up paying an additional $88 to Montpelier. Eighty eight dollars may not sound like a lot of money to some of you, but for me, and others like me, we don’t happen to have an extra $88 in our pockets to donate to the cause. According to a statement by the Vermont Fuel Dealers Association regarding this regressive tax, “Vermont businesses currently pay a sales tax, a gross receipts tax, and a petroleum cleanup fee on every gallon of fuel oil (purchased). When you add the proposed Vermont Heat Tax, 10 percent of the heating bill for a Vermont business owner will go to Montpelier.” Wouldn’t you rather keep the 10 percent for yourself? I know I would. Besides, low-income Vermonters who are already struggling to survive the winter will be hit hard by the Vermont Heat Tax. And no matter how you look at the Vermont Heat Tax, it’s going to be a big job killer. Which begs the question—why is this being proposed in the first place? And why would a business choose to expand, locate, or even stay in Vermont if forced to pay this energy tax? Lou Varricchio

ne thing we never seem to be short of are studies in human behavior. Several recent studies point to some alarming concerns for the future of our country. Reading survey outcomes is a little like reading tea leaves. Each person can see what they want to see in the results, but these results have more than just a few experts reaching similar conclusions. The first is the American Freshman Survey, which has accumulated data for the past 47 years from 9 million young adults. The survey reports that college students are more likely than ever to call themselves gifted and driven to succeed, even though their test scores and time spent studying is decreasing. American students have increasingly given themselves "above average" ratings on several attributes but bragged most regarding their "drive to achieve." Almost four-fifths of survey responders say they're above average in this category. The other survey from Pew Research Center, asked respondents if they had ever received benefits from any of six major federal entitlement programs — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, welfare, or unemployment benefits. Pew found that in addition to the 55 percent of adults who had received benefits, another 16 percent said that while they had not received benefits themselves, a member of their household had — meaning 71 percent of adults belong to a household that has benefited from at least one of these six major programs. If veterans’ benefits and federal college loans and grants are included, the share of households with at least one recipient rises to a surprising 86 percent. When you combine the results and begin looking at other factors one has to question if our youth will be prepared to be fully self sufficient when their time comes to take the reins and support a much larger and aging Boomer population. Not only do entitlements breed a certain dependency but look at the popular trends today like Facebook or Twitter where young people can fool themselves into thinking they have hundreds or thousands of “friends.” They can block anyone who disagrees with them or pokes holes in their inflated self-esteem. They
can choose to show the entire world only flattering, sexy or funny photographs of themselves, speak their mind on short posts and publicly connect to big name Dan Alexander movie stars, proThoughts from fessional athletes, Behind the Pressline politicians and musicians to whom they are digitally connected. They can quickly Google search any facts as easily as asking their phone for the answer. It is a society where everyone is considered a champion, schools push underperforming students along, reality shows rule the airwaves, children who don’t fit the norm are drugged to conformity, energy drinks are the beverage of choice, video games are the great past-time and, as a nation, we keep borrowing money that this generation will someday be forced to payback. It’s great that government and the taxpayers can lend a hand when you need it, but what happens when government reaches the point they can no longer treat the masses as special and individuals are forced to fend for themselves? What happens when reality really becomes real and it’s no longer just a do-over video game or TV show? Will our youth be prepared for the challenges which surely lie ahead of them in the future? When you are young you’ve got nothing to compare to accept the events of the day. As you age you understand the difference between good times and tough times. As a nation we’ve been and continue to be on a good run economically, but at the rate we are currently spending one has to wonder how much longer the government can continue to borrow to support those who may not be up to the challenge of supporting themselves, let alone when they’ll need to support the Boomer generation.

Small Dog Electronics helps with gifts for shelter families By Lou Varricchio
newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — Thanks to the employees of Small Dog Electronics, families in need at the Rutland County Women’s Network & Shelter had a brighter and happier Christmas than they might have expected in 2012. Small Dog Electronics, which is opening a
storefront in Rutland in spring 2013, wanted to launch the 2012 holiday season with a little special cheer and asked the RCWNS how they could help. When Jen Mayer, Small Dog’s district manager, and Kali Hilke, the Apple product firm’s director of marketing, learned that several of the children living at the emergency shelter wouldn’t be receiving any
Yankee Sportsman’s from page 1 better than fumbling with a muzzleloader or a Bowie knife. But then, Glass never heard of the Yankee Sportsman's Classic Show let alone the Miller Expo Center. The old scout might have made good use of a selection of handheld GPS units in the field, too; they’ll be on display at the annual Vermont outdoor show. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Yankee Sportsman's Classic Show—and the great American spirit of Hugh Glass, as well as every other outdoorsman (and woman) to follow in his footsteps, will be celebrated. This 20th edition of the show will be held Jan. 18-20. For three full days, the 100,000 square foot Essex Junction expo center will welcome an estimated 15,000 sportsmen and women—including youngsters—to revel in Vermont's hunting and fishing heritage.
And what better way to salute the state’s outdoors heritage than with 175 exhibitors. There’s something for everyone here—from guns and ammo to bait and bear repellant. Visitors can attend seminars and check out the latest hardware. Check out the new lake and river boats, pickup and utility trucks, mini tractors, ATVs, RVs, and off-road motorcycles. Included at the show are some pretty good product sales, too. For example, a special truckload sale on Cannon gun safes will take place. And what better place to talk with Vermont wildlife and fisheries experts, even book a hunting or fishing adventure, or have your trophy officially scored by the Vermont Big Game Trophy Club. Gut deer? Well, 12 of the greatest whitetails ever taken will be available for viewing as part of the NRA’s Great American Whitetail Collection. Youngsters are welcome and can visit the Ice Team Kids Corner. There’s a catch and release trout pond, a kids archery, a safe B.B. gun shoot, and fly casting competition. If you feel ad-
