Town Meeting Driver injured on ‘12: Rutland, results Route 30 Windsor Mitt Romney wins

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com HUBBARDTON — Troopers of the Vermont State Police's Castleton Outpost were assigned to investigate a reported single vehicle crash on Vermont Route 30 near Pencil Mill Road in Hubbardton last week.

Troopers located the vehicle, a 2001 Volvo sedan on its roof, off the shoulder of the northbound lane of travel for Route 30.

The vehicle sustained significant damaged and was considered a total loss.

Investigation revealed that the vehicle, operated

by Erin Orleck, 21, of Rhode Island, was traveling south on the highway toward Castleton.

According to Orleck, the vehicle drifted onto the shoulder of the road and went into "gravel" causing her to lose control. Orleck said she attempted to regain control and "over-corrected as she tried to turn back onto the tar section of Route 30. She said she turned "too hard" and lost control of her vehicle causing it to skid and spin. Orleck also said the vehicle spun across both lanes of travel and off the shoulder of the northbound lane.

Orleck told police the vehicle left the roadway "sideways, and subsequently rolled onto its roof, where it came to final rest. She said she was able to exit the vehicle with some assistance from a friend who was traveling in another vehicle in front of her.

Orleck advised troopers that she was wearing her seatbelt at the time of the crash. VSP authorities in Castleton said Orleck was transported and treated for injuries at the Rutland Regional Medical Center.

The Vermont State Police were assisted on scene

by Fair Haven Rescue, Hubbardton Fire Department, and the Fair Haven Police Department.

Vermont GOP primary

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney defeated his conservative and libertarian Republican rivals in Vermont’s GOP primary.

However, the candidate did not win all of the state’s 17 delegates.

In Burlington, liberal Democrat Miro Weinberger defeated GOP candidate Kurt Wright for mayor of Burlington.

In Rutland, some of the main focus was on the aldermanic race. Voters reelected the city’s incubment aldermen and elected a new alderman, Gary Donahue. But the biggest news was approval of a $2 million bond to rebuild Rutland’s crumbling bridges.

Welsh families bridge interstate lines

By Janice B. Edwards

newmarketpress@denpubs.com POULTNEY — Members of the extended Roberts clan span two states. They had a chance to meet and compare notes at a recent gathering of regional Welsh families in Poultney.

Mary Ann Reynolds of Granville, N.Y., and Carol Denniston of West Pawlet, Vt., met for the first time recently at a dinner banquet event held at A.J.’s Restaurant sponsored by Poultney Area St. David’s Society.

The society's event held in celebration of St. David, Patron Saint of Wales, was the twenty fourth anniversary year gathering of the St. David’s Society. The two Reynolds cousins–Mary Ann and Carol–are members of the society.

Genetic Welsh cousins, Mary Ann and Carol have resided geographically only a few miles apart of each other most of their lives, however, they have not known each other until recently.

Ironically, both graduated from the same high school.

It is only recently, through their participation with the St. David's Society, that learned

about each other. Their lives and the lives of their parents and grandparents spread their respective families in different directions and life’s circles, a separation which often occurs amongst families as the generations expand and age.

Mary Ann's mother's mother (Sarah Roberts) and Carol's father's mother (Mary Ellen Roberts) were sisters. Their nains (grandmothers) lived in South Poultney, Vermont. Their great-grandparents, Hugh C. and Sarah (Lewis) Roberts lived in South Poultney, where Hugh was blacksmith and grocer. Hugh was born in Caernarvonshire, Wales. Sarah was born in Talyllyn, Merionethshire, Wales.

The Roberts couple emigrated, in the late 1800s, to the Vermont-New York Slate Valley from Ffestiniog, Merionethshire. Wales.

They are buried in Poultney Cemetery.

Several other Slate Valley Roberts clans, including members of the Cwm Dyli Roberts clan, another Roberts clan from Ffestiniog Union–and a Cwm y Glo Roberts clan–were also present at the March 4th event as were many other non-Roberts clans.

Poultney Area St. David’s Society, Inc. was founded in 1988 by Helen T. Jones and the late Eleanor (Evans) Williams McMorrow.

Vermont activists want GMO food labels

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MONTPELIER — The Vermont Right to Know GMOs (genetically modified organisms) coalition–which consists of the organizations Rural Vermont, Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont, VPIRG and the Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility Legislative Supporters of H.722–is launching a statewide campaign to make Vermont the first state to require labeling of genetically engineered food.

The coalition members are supporting to Vermont Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, refered to has

House Bill 722 or simply H.722.

Coalition members met in the Cedar Creek Room of the Vermont State House Feb. 23 to voice their support of H.722.

According to coalition members, Vermont’s efforts have received national attention.

“This is a consumer right to know issue,” said Falko Schilling VPIRG consumer protection advocate, “Just as we require nutritional labels on food so that shoppers can make informed choices, consumers should have the same access to information about whether their food has been genetically engineered.”

But not all Vermont food growers and environmentalists support the rush to label and ultimately ban GMOs.

“I think labeling GMO food is a bad idea,” said Mart Disch, a pro-GMO vegetable grower in Sudbury, Vt. “People fear new technology, but in this case there’s a lot of data showing GMOs have improved the lives of Third World peoples.”

According to Disch, the threats of GMOs are exaggerated.

“GMOs provide tangible benefits to crops grown such as pest resistance, herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, cold tolerance, drought and salinity tolerance, and enhanced nutrition. GMOs also provide new hope through pharmaceuticals and phytoremediation agents for treating soil pollutants,” Disch said.

MSJ Talent Show to benefit African effort RUTLAND – Mount St. Joseph Academy students are among the acts preparing for the St. Bridget and St. Stanislaus Kostka churches Talent Show scheduled for Sunday, March 18, at 3 p.m., at West Rutland Town Hall.

Sarah Harvey and Claire Mercier, both freshmen at MSJ, will perform during the fundraising event.

All proceeds will benefit the construction of a water well for Fr. Leonard’s community in Uganda. Tickets for the talent show will be available at the door.

Tickets are $8 adults, $5 children/seniors, $20 per family.

At the show, tickets for Silent Auction baskets also will be on sale.

Proceeds also benefit the construction of the well. Auction tickets are 3 for $5, 7 for $10.

Gailer School, farewell I

t was very sad to learn that the Gailer School in Middlebury will close its doors forever at the end of the current academic year (see news story in this issue).

The private, grades 7-12 school was founded in 1989 by science teacher Harry Chaucer. Chaucer named the school’s Da Vinci learning program after the great thinker and tinkerer Leonardo da Vinci. And just like Da Vinci, Gailer students continue to study the vast sweep of time from the creation of the cosmos to the modern era.

According to various reports, school officials cited declining enrollment plus the economy as reasons for closing the school. Such facts are hard to swallow especially when less vibrant learning institutions seem to survive these annoyingly persistent hard times.

During 23 years living in Middlebury (I arrived in town the same year the Gailer School opened its doors), I have been fortunate to know two, outstanding young people who attended the school during the early 1990s.

While I won’t mention these young people by name, for fear of publically embarrassing them, I will say that I was extremely impressed by the education they received at this local private school.

Both boys I know – well, they’re grown men now – had personal learning challenges, but at the Gailer School they blossomed into smart, self-starting individuals who cared about life, their community, and the environment.

The Gailer School has six values at the core of its unique learning program; I think they’re worth repeating here.

The text below comes directly from the Gailer School’s website. I hope school officials do not mind their appearance here: “Respect: All members endeavor to respect themselves, the community, the learning process, and the environ-

ment. Community members demonstrate respect through language, gesture, compassion and action.

“Challenge: Gailer motivates students to accept and invite challenge, to be open to intellectual risk, and to achieve more than what is asked of them.

“Creativity: Gailer encourages innovative responses to challenges.

Through disciplined practice and ingenuity, students express themselves, experiment, follow their curiosities and explore new approaches.

“Service: Performance of service to others fosters responsible world citizenship. Gailer students develop their own community service projects and regularly share their learning with community members.

“Diversity: The Gailer community celebrates intellectual, social, racial and ethnic diversity. Our students are challenged to examine personal identity and cultural assumptions in order to foster insightful world citizenship.

“Sustainability: The Gailer School is committed to sustainable practices as a community in recognition of the human impact on both the local and global environment. Conservation, adaptive reuse, waste reduction, recycling and consumption of healthy products and foods (local if possible) are some of the practices the Gailer community embraces.”

Saying goodbye to a unique learning institution in our midst, no matter how small, is never easy. But with this farewell, we say “thank you” to all the administrators, teachers, parents, supporters, and students who passed through the hallways of the Gailer School over the past 23 years.

And to this Gailer School community, young and old, know that you will continue to make a difference in our world. While your physical alma mater will disappear, its memory and heritage of values will live on through generations scattered far and wide.

Slang on the Slopes

By John Bernardi

L

ike all good fanatics, skiers and snowboarders have developed their own unique terminology. In some cases, the fun-loving slang is universal between the two disciplines, and in other cases, it is derogatory toward the other. Either way though, the slopes are full of enough jargon and lingo to symbolically push old man Webster over the proverbial edge of the mountain.

The “milk run” is the first run of the day and “plankers” do it on skis, while “knuckle draggers” do it on a snowboard, or “lunch tray.” If you’re a “Betty,” you’re a novice female snowboarder, while “chicks on sticks” can be any group of girls or women on skis.

Hopefully, they are wearing a “brain bucket” for head protection and their “chatter” refers not to their rapid conversation, but to the unwanted vibration of their skis or board when running at speed. A small snowboarder might be referred to as a “grom” and anyone who ventures into closed terrain could be considered a “poacher”.”

A “dump” has nothing to do with a trip to the bathroom, but has everything to do with a significant snowfall. Speaking of lavatory references, “pooping” refers to sitting way back on your skis while bent at the waist, which usually results in making “toilet turns” all the way down the slope. This is considered bad form for adults, but “lift lickers,” kids who can’t resist sticking their tongue on the chairlift bar, enjoy doing it for fun.

If the snow is really good, it’s referred to as “epic,” if too soft “mashed potatoes” and if too hard “boiler plate” or even “bullet proof.” On occasion, good snow turns to “crud” after too many skiers or snowboarders have used it to get their “freshies” early in the day, causing late day conditions to become “gnarly.” Worse yet, “death cookies” are present after extensive snowmaking and grooming leave big frozen chunks of ice in the middle of the trail. This, of course, could cause a potential “yard sale” should some poor sap wipe out, leaving their equipment strewn across the trail in plain view of the chairlift.

“Goofy” refers to leading with your right foot on a snowboard where you might “jib” in the Terrain Park or “shred” high speed

carving turns.

Done well, these could be considered “phat” and done poorly they could be considered “wack.” Either way, a “hucker,” flying high through the air could end up a “bono” should they smack into a tree. Of course, “snow scum” refers to any skier or snowboarder refusing to follow the responsibility code or other slope side etiquette, while “run rubbish” is any group blocking passage on the trail. This same group, or any group like it, would be considered “vermin” if blocking access to the lift line or “gapers” if pausing to take in the view.

“Schussing” on skis is straight lining down the “fall line” without turning, and “ripping” is good high speed carving. However, either one could result in a “snotsicle” due to the wind chill reacting with a runny nose. Incidentally, any parent using a leash or harness to teach their young child on the slopes would be referred to as a “dog trainer” and is usually well equipped to handle partially frozen mucous.

Perhaps you consider yourself “old school” and you believe most of this slang to be the work of young punks with no regard for tradition or nostalgia. In that case, you better make sure your “wicket” doesn’t impede your “stem Christie” resulting in a “face plant” of epic proportions. Even worse, a poorly executed “wedeln” on your long straight skis could cause you to become a “rag doll,” cart wheeling down the slope. After all, some “hoe dad” is likely to be watching from his perpetual seat in the lodge, glad he is just a “poser” instead of an old fashioned “fruit booter” like you.

Pondering such linguistic nonsense on a recent ride up the gondola at Gore Mountain, I couldn’t help but wonder how the English Dictionary would read differently if old Webster new the pure joy of “vertical rise,” finding the “sweet spot” and “shredding the gnar.” Instead, the unfortunate “flatlander” never knew what pleasure awaited him on the proverbial edge of that mountain.

The Logger comes to Vergennes VERGENNES — Rusty DeWees returns to where it all started, the Vergennes Opera House, with a fresh Logger comedy and music show. Vergennes is where The Logger ’s first DVD was filmed. “It’s been fourteen years since I’ve played the Vergennes Opera House, thirteen too many,” Rusty says. He will play April 20-21, both shows start at 8 p.m., at the historic Opera House.

“People love the updated show,” Rusty says, “it’s a fun show to perform, the new show has a whole bunch more interplay with the audience, and cripes, folks in and around Vergennes come ready to have a gol danged good ole time … even the sober ones. Last time I played there, a few folks showed up on snow machines … in May!” Rusty says the show is good for just about all ages, but only if you dare cause its rated S.C. for “some cussin’”.

The Logger ’s original, ever evolving one-man comedy tour de force has played to hundreds of thousands of fans throughout Vermont, Northern New York (state, not city), and around New England since The Logger first took the stage in 1998.

Rusty said, “You’ll laugh, hard … you’ll leave the theatre happy!”

The show is an all-out comedy that features DeWees playing a host of off-beat, rural characters who have what you might call unique and astute thoughts about life.

“I have lots of new routines and stories, new stand-up style stuff, some political material, and jokes about my prostate, which are always crowd pleasers. I’ll lay in some of the old classics, too, and, this show is gluten free,” Rusty said.

DeWees mentions you may not want to leave your seat to pee unless you want to become part of the show.

The show features some music too, with Rusty himself on the guitar and vocals. “Girls don’t cry when I sing, men do, but, I ain’t too too bad really,” Rusty notes. “We’re actually pretty good.”

The Boston Globe said the Logger is, “Inventive, enter-

taining, exceptional!”

Rusty’s mom said, “It’s the best show performed in the history of the world.”

Beside his fall tour, Rusty just released a second book, “Scrawlins Too” (many stories featured in the Addison Eagle and Green Mountain Outlook). Rusty speaks at high schools on career and a substance free lifestyle, and writes a weekly newspaper column. He’s appeared nationally on shows including, “Law and Order,” “Saturday Night Live,” and films, “Black Dog,” with the late Patrick Swayze, and, “Pieces of April,” with Katie Holmes. He’s worked with well-known Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven on “A Stranger in the Kingdom” and “Disappearances,” starring Kris Kristofferson.

DeWees will fill the tank, prime it, and pull the cord, for two shows, at the Vergennes Opera House, April 20, 21, at 8-pm, tickets $20, www.vergennesoperahouse.org -Classic Stitching–or call 877-6737 or try luck at door.

Benefit to help Gill Home residents LUDLOW – Ludlow musician Brent Buswell will performg a benefit concert at the Gill Odd Fellows Home in Ludlow, Friday, March 16, 6-8 p.m. Tickets are $20 for dinner and concert and $15 for concert only, doors open at 5:30 p.m.

All proceeds from the concert will go to the activity fund, to help provide live entertainment for Odd Fellow residents.

A raffle will be held with 10 tickets for $5. Contact Joanne Specht at 228-4571 for more details to purchase raffle teickets before the concert event. The Gill Home is located at 8 Gill Terrace in Ludlow.

Springfield residents face tax increases

SPRINGFIELD — Springfield voters gathered to discuss ballot items at Town meeting March 5. Approximately 200 voters attended the annual meeting event. The main discussion topic was Springfield’s proposed$10 million town budget and $27 million school budget.

Both budgets were not decided at Town meeting but will be decided by ballot vote March 6. The budgets will require tax increases.

At the meeting, voter Bill Sheldon objected to the cost of the school administration side of the school budget and asked why there were no cuts in administration staff although some teacher aide positionss were eliminated.

Sheldon said the $750 per pupil cost in the budget was too high.

School taxes should rise 2 cents for property owners; non-residential property owners will see a decrease of 4 cents. Town Manager Robert Forguites noted residents will see a three-cent increase in the tax rate over the proposed town budget.

Town Meeting votes boost Sanders’ amendment WASHINGTON – Town Meeting voters in Vermont last week overwhelmingly approved measures calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United and restore limits on corporate campaign spending.

A light-bulb moment From ancient lore comes the phrase, “once in a blue moon”. This venerable phrase is deployed to describe quite rare events like the night of Nov. 21, 2010, when a second round Luna displayed within a calendar month. The next such event will be overhead this coming August.

If you just can’t wait, peruse the pages of the current issue of “American Spectator”, in which T.H. Buckley persuasively describes and explains an aspect of modern K-12 education.

On reading Buckley’s piece, your Humble Scribe experienced that other graphical phenomenon, the light-bulb moment (aka eureka moment) usually deployed in cartoon symbology to illustrate the subject character experiencing a sudden flash of illumination and understanding.

Blue moon language in English traces back to the 16th century and newspaper cartoons date from the late 19th, but when was the first artist-insight for using the lightbulb to indicate enlightenment? It isn’t historically recorded.

It can’t well be any older than Thomas Edison’s invention of the device. Buckley’s subject: parental satisfaction with public education. The statistics have long been a subject of official collection, but his analysis tackles a question the Feds haven’t. Other explanations can be found (could it be Humble Scribe research inadequacy?) nowhere else.

You can peruse the overall parental-satisfaction stats, 1993-2007, on the web page of the National Center for Edu-

cation Statistics. Sub-divided into four levels: they show that, of parents with children in assigned schools about 50 percent are “very satisfied”.

Those who exercised school choice, public K-12, were about 60-70 percent “very satisfied”.

For private schools, sectarian or secular, the rate climbs well into the 80 percent range.

For “somewhat satisfied”, the rate is about 35 percent for assigned public schools, about 30 for chosen schools, in the teens for private ones.

For “somewhat dissatisfied” and “very dissatisfied”, the returns are all in single digits, highest for public-assigned, lowest for private-sectarian.

What you can’t peruse in the NCES stats is the satisfaction level by parental socio-economic status level.

Even an Internet search brings up nothing. In Vermont, the closest you can get is through the occasional (blue moon?) surveys in Supervisory Union Annual Reports, with results by Town School District, and then seeing how upper-income towns fare in comparison with lower-income towns within the same S.U. There have been a few such surveys in the last three or four decades; your Humble Scribe recalls news accounts from elementary districts in such upper-income towns as Norwich, Manchester, and Weybridge, and all showed high parental approval percentages, even though, in those same years, a large majority of students wasn’t making proficient in reading and math on federal tests and a large minority wasn’t doing so on the then-in-use state tests.

How could education super-sensitive upper-middleclass parents pretend to think well of schools wherein their own kids don’t do well?

Buckley explains that “…they are on top and want things to stay that way for themselves and their children…and would therefore tend to favor policies that tend to destroy public schools…and to oppose…[policies and achievement results]…that would give lower- and middleclass children a leg up.”

That appraisal coincides with comments to your Humble

Scribe from Vermont friends who proclaimed their support for their town schools and explained that they can easily make up, at home or with tutoring, for whatever minor things their “excellent” schools might not do well—like teaching reading at proficiency levels, for example.

Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.

MSJ cheerleaders win state award “Building Our Community One Project At A Time”

Rt. 4, Box 217, Whitehall, NY 12887 • 518-499-0213 36767

All Glass 40% Off Electronic Cigarettes • E-Liquid • Accessories 101 State Street • Rutland, VT 05701 • 802.773.6262 smoking accessories • body jewelry • incense • art glass • and more!

Hours: Mon-Sat 11-7 22027

MSJ Cheerleading Coach Tracy Tedesco, Bethany Miglorie, Kelsey Gordon, Shea McGee, Mara Scaralia, Devon Gilbert, Natalie Hajj, Leah Scaralia and Abby Valentine displayed their state trophy.

Mount St. Joseph from page 1 lead late in the first quarter, MSJ finally started to execute their usually tough defense, stopped turning the ball over and found a way to climb back into the game in the second quarter. In fact, the Mounties were able to cut the deficit to just two points (21-19) at the half.

The second half would be a much different story, however, as MSJ came out of the locker room like a house of fire, out-scoring Vergennes 18-8 in the third quarter with six different Mounties scoring in the stanza.

Despite trailing by 10 points heading into the fourth the Commodore's kept working hard, but MSJ's offense moved the ball well against the Vergennes zone defense. In the waning moments, the Commodores forced a few quick steals which turned into a couple 3-pointers on the other end, but it would be too little-too late as the Mounties would close out the eight-point win before rushing the floor in celebration.

Shannon Murray led the Mounties' attack with 13 points and nine rebounds, while John Dewey added a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Shep Carter led the way for Vergennes with 15 points, while Stanley Salley added six points and 10 rebounds.

Top-Seeded Mt. Abe The No. 1 seeded Mount Abraham girls squad recently defeated No. 8 Mill River, 42-30, in Division II, quarter-final action in Bristol. Mount Abe came out of the gate fast, building a 10-point lead in the first quarter and a 27-12 lead at half time, before cruising to the 12-point win.

Ashley Fey led the way for Mount Abraham with 17 points, while Maureen Taggert was the top scorer for the Minutemen. Arguably Mill River's best player, Taggert got into foul trouble early in the game and fouled out mid-way through the fourth quarter. With the win, the Lady Eagles improved their record to an impressive, 18-3 on the year, while Mill River ends their season at 11-11.

Westside upsets Poultney The No. 6 seeded West Rutland girls' basketball team recently pulled an upset, knocking off No. 3 seeded Poultney 49-46, in Division III state quarterfinals in Poultney. In the win, Amanda Harty hit eight clutch free throws in the fourth quarter to seal the win for the Golden Horde.

Morgan Raiche was the leading scorer for Westside with 17 points, while Mikayla Dambrackas and Harte pitched in with 15 and 10 points respectively. For Poultney, Ali Joes led the way with 21 points, while Nicole Bogucki and Emma Lambert each pitched in with nine points.

West Rutland improves to 15-7 on the season and will next take on No. 1 Proctor, while Poultney ends its season with an impressive 16-6 season.

Lady Slaters Beat Montpelier The Fair Haven High School girls' basketball team will be headed to the semi-finals in Barre, after the No.3-seeded Lady Slaters recently defeated No. 11 Montpelier, 45-33, in Division II quarterfinal action in Fair Haven. Montpelier was coming off an upset win over U-32.

This was not an easy win for Fair Haven, as the Lady Solons kept it close in a see-saw first quarter with neither team possessing more than a three-point lead. Early on in the second quarter it remained close, until the Lady Slaters went on an eight point run in the final three minutes of the quarter, led by the inside play of Fair Haven senior Kala MacKenzie. The Slaters would take a 17-12 lead into half time.

However, Montpelier would go on a 7-2 run of their own early in the third quarter to get the lead down to four, but that would be as close as they would get, as the Lady Slaters went back to what was working in the first half - get the ball to MacKenzie in the paint.

The Slater senior would not only score eight points down the stretch, but also grabbed clutch rebounds and played tough defense. When teammate Cheyenne Sheldon hit a 3point bomb from the corner with under a minute to go, Fair Haven closed out the 12-point win.

MacKenzie led the way for Fair Haven with 16 points and a whopping 18 rebounds, while Bethany Lanfear and 10 points and 10 assists. Annie Jones led the way for Montpelier with 18 points, with Julie Curran pitching in with six.

In April we will be releasing our first “Hooves & Paws Pet Resource Guide” and we are collecting stories from area pet owners about their very special animals. We are hoping that you will take a minute to write to us about how you acquired your special friend and just what this pet means to your life. We even want to know if the story doesn’t have a happy ending because it might help one of our readers to deal with the loss of a very important pet in their lives. We encourage you to send a photo of you and/or your pet to accompany the story. You may mail the story by March 30th to:
