The annual Stafford tour involves students learning by doing in the case of culinary, construction technology, computer technology, music, automotive technology, and electrical/plumbing skills. Stafford’s unique program makes sense from a child development view, too. Introducing a child to hands-on learning early in a school year goes a long way in stimulating a lifelong love of learning and acquiring future workforce skills. According to Peg Peg Bolgioni, outreach coordinator a the Stafford Technical Center, each program-area coordinator includes a demonstration of what is done in the particular program area. Special activities are also organized for the young visitors, Bolgiori said. The purpose of the programs is to give the kindergartners a first look at Stafford Technical Center as a a current and future learning outlet.

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — Children love cookies and baking. What better way to marry the two in a unique learning experience. Kindergarten students in Rutland’s Northwest School began rolling out the dough in a concerted effort to bake dozens of delicious cookies. The cooking experience involves the students knowing a little bit of math (measuring) as well as how to tell where the clock’s big and little hands are located on the face (baking time). This worthwhile early learning program is coordinated by the Stafford Technical Center’s Culinary Arts program. For several years, Northwest students have been rolling up their sleeves and putting on their thinking caps to take an active part in the Rutland technical center’s so-called Tool Tour.
Martha Robertson thinks best when she’s on skis. The founder of Ski for Heat 2011, a statewide cross-country skiing or snowshoeing fundraiser, Robertson came up with the successful wintery concept that benefits Vermont’s Shareheat fund; a fund which helps keep low-income Vermonters warm during the long winter. Ski for Heat 2011 will be held Sunday, Jan. 30, at Wild Wings Ski Touring Center in Peru. Participants from Addison, Rutland and Windsor counties will join other Vermonters and New Hampshire residents for the annual fundraising effort. Again, Wild Ski owners Chuck and Tracy Black donated their facility to Heat participants, according to Robertson who found a lasting partnership with the Blacks. “Everyone is encouraged to take part,” Robertson said. “The operating premise of Ski for Heat has always been: it’s fun, it’s easy, and it’s for a good cause. We want people to participate at whatever level they are comfortable doing so. While helping to keep neighbors warm, Ski for Heat is also a great way to explore the scenic trails at Wild Wings, which follow streams through hard and soft woods, and experience a fun day of good will and camaraderie.” Unlike a more formal fundraiser, Ski for Heat 2011 is laid back with no registration fee. Robertson said, “participants may come and go as their schedules allow and ski or ‘shoe for as long or little as they like (it is not a timed event), and there is terrain for all abilities.” Clark’s Quality Foods is the title sponsor for both Ski for Heat 2011 and the Benefit Concert. The Vermont Country Store is the platinum sponsor. Lawrence E. Reed, CPA, PC and the Lions Club are silver sponsors. Bronze sponsors are Bromley Mountain, Finn and Stone Insurance, the Mountain Goat, Price Chopper, Vermont Fuel Dealers Assoc., and Write Solutions.

Titled “Shadow Scorpion: Memoirs of an Assassin,” the Starksboro, Vt.-based author tells the fantastic story of how he was abducted by the so-called secret government and trained in elite and shadowy methods of assassination. Readers of Von Atzingen’s book may
have to suspend their disbelief as they become fully engaged in this true life thriller. Von Atzingen claims, cover-to-cover, it’s all true. In the end, the reader will have to take his word for it to go along for the amazing ride. Given the first name White Wolf by his post-Woodstock hippy parents homesteading in Pennsylvania, Von Atzingen said he wrote the tell-all book to heal. “I have lived a life of extreme struggles against all odds with a broken state of consciousness,” he said. “I have survived many trials and experiences that can only be described as a living hell.” In one case, the author reports being ...Turn to page 2 to read more on White Wolf Von Atzinger
