Solzhenitsyn concert to help local baseball league From Staff & News Reports

newmarketpress@denpubs.com

World class musician with a famous name and baseball fan: Ignat Solzhenitsyn.

CHESTER — The Cavendish/Proctosrville Baseball League has announced that on Friday, April 6, at 7 p.m., world-renowned classical pianist Ignat Solzhenitsyn, an avid baseball fan and a Vermonter, will give a piano recital featuring works of Beethoven, Schubert and Prokofiev at the Green Mountain Union High School in Chester.

One hundred percent of the proceeds of this concert will go toward welcoming baseball and softball back to Cavendish’s Greven Field by the end of this season.

“We are delighted and thrilled that Mr. Solzhenitsyn has agreed to donate his recital for this wonderful cause.

The community is really uniting around this project, and all are excited at the major impact this performance will have in helping awareness and

fundraising,” said Marion Brody, the head of the charity effort.

Solzhenitsyn was saddened to learn about the level of devastation at Greven Field.

“It’s a place where many of us Cavendish kids learned life-lessons about dedication, teamwork, and perseverance. It is a joy to be able to give something back through this recital, and to help push this wonderful project past the finish-line,” he said Last Aug. 28, the dugouts, equipment shed, snack shack, and playground were damaged beyond repair—in some cases, literally washed down the Black River. Fencing was lifted and twisted beyond use, and the Green Monster, a focal piece of Greven Field, was partially destroyed. Our baseball equipment was lost. The infield was torn apart.

Enjoying an active career as both conductor and pianist, Solzhenitsyn's musical interpretations have won him See CONCERT, page 2

Arrests made in Melissa Jenkins murder

Melissa Jenkins

From Staff & News Reports

newmarketpress@denpubs.com ST. JOHNSBURY — During the morning of March 28, the Vermont State Police released a statement during a press conference with Major Ed Ledo, Criminal Division commander of the Vermont State Police, regarding a significant development in the investigation into the death of Melissa Jenkins.

Detectives with the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation, with the

assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, St. Johnsbury Fire Department, Hardwick Police Department, Caledonia County Sheriff's Department, St. Johnsbury Academy, and the Vermont Army National Guard, conducted an aggressive investigation into the death of Melissa Jenkins. Following investigative leads, evidence collected from the crime scenes, and information obtained through interviews, the Vermont State Police made two arrests earlier this morning.

Vermont State Police arrested Allen Prue, age 30, and Patricia Prue, age 33; both of Waterford, Vermont, for second degree murder and improper disposal of a body. Additional charges may be forth coming as this investigation continues to unfold, as coordinated with the Caledonia County State's Attorney's Office.

Both subjects were processed at the St. Johnsbury Barracks, and the arrest processing photos are attached. Both Allen and Patricia Prue were lodged at the Northeast Correctional Facility in St. Johnsbury and are being held without bail. The arraignment is scheduled for March 28 at Caledonian Criminal Court. It was determined by the Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Steven Shapiro that the cause of Jenkins' death was the result of strangulation.

Allen and Patricia Prue are married. They

Allen and Patricia Prue knew Jenkins and had snowplowed her driveway a couple of years ago. Investigation determined this was an isolated incident.

“We are grateful for all of the assistance and support from cooperating agencies, the community, and the press while we investigated this case," said Maj. Ed Ledo. "Our efforts in this case are not complete, as there is still much work to be done; however we hope these arrests help bring some closure to the family and friends of Melissa Jenkins.

Members of the Crime Scene Search Team executed a search warrant at the Prue resi-

dence last night and will continue throughout the day. The scene was secured over night. The dedicated men and women of the Vermont State Police and the FBI assigned to this investigation played a vital role in how quickly Ms. Jenkins' body was found and the preservation of evidence which ultimately resulted in the apprehension of the Prues."

Detectives are still interested in speaking with anyone who may have information regarding this case and should call the St. Johnsbury Barracks at 802-748-3111 or submit a secure and anonymous tip on line.

DOYLE - 6 year old. Neutered Male. German Shepherd mix. I’m a handsome, fun-loving guy who enjoys being with people. I already know Sit and am pretty smart and think I could learn more commands, too. I’m a little shy in new situations so my new family will need to take me places and introduce me to new people so I am more comfortable. I may need a little time to settle in to my new home so I hope they are patient, too. If you’re looking for a great companion then please stop by and say hi.

DALLAS - 1 year old. Neutered Male. Pit Bull. I am a bright-eyed dog who is eager to please and bursting with high spirits. I’m at that age where I look like a full-grown dog but still act and think like a puppy. The staff has learned that I am quick to bond with people who are kind to me, that I know Sit, Shake and Down and that I can get really scared in new situations. . .I look like a cartoon I shake so much. The staff here is recommending I go to a home with experienced dog folks who can help me with basic obedience training, overcome my nerves and build my self-confidence. I need an active family where I will get a lot of exercise and socialization.

JUMBLES - 4 year old. Neutered Male. Domestic Short Hair White, Gray & Black. I am a loving guy who arrived at the shelter as a stray on February 29. It seems I may have spent some time in the elements but boy am I cleaning up nicely with all the care I have received here at the shelter. I am a love and I really enjoy being petted. I have had enough of the outdoor life and would prefer to remain inside where I am safe and can enjoy all the comforts I have received here.

SQUEEKS - 7 year old. Neutered Male. Domestic Short Hair Gray & Black Tiger. I am a solid fella with big round yellow eyes. I am a declawed boy so venturing outside is not in the cards for me.

April 15, 2012, will mark 100 years since the sinking of the British luxury ocean liner RMS Titanic. During this Titanic centennial year, a new 3D film version of Hollywood mogul James Cameron’s 1997 epic soap opera “Titanic” will be rereleased April 4, along with an IMAX version and an earlier Cameron IMAX Titanic-dive documentary.

As the world remembers Titanic, we remember another maritime disaster that was Capt. Hollish Blanchard closer to home, the sinking of the S.S. Portland on Nov. 26, 1898. While mostly forgotten today, this New England shipwreck was recalled by Congressional investigators of the disaster in 1912.

Long known as the “Titanic of New England”, the wreck of the Portland off Cape Ann, Mass., took the lives of all of its 192 men, women and children.

Akin to Titanic, there weren’t enough lifeboats for passengers and crew on the Portland. But as far as the loss of the Portland is concerned, swamped by the titanic waves of a New England megastorm, it is unlikely lifeboats would have helped.

To landlubbers, the Portland looked like a lake or river steamer rather than an ocean-going vessel (Portland would have looked good cruising on Lake Champlain). But by the time of the Titanic disaster, a mere 14 years later, the sidewheeler would have been a technological relic.

Built by New England Shipbuilding Co. in Bath, Maine, in 1889, the wooden Portland was designed to be a sea-going shuttle between the ports of Boston and Portland. The tandem-funnel vessel weighed 2,283 gross tons, and was 280 feet in length, 42 feet at her beam.

Up until the 1880s, ocean “sidewheelers” or paddle steamers were a popular design. Even the most infamous Atlantic disaster prior to the Portland’s sinking involved another U.S. paddle steamer, the loss of the S.S. Arctic in 1854 off Newfoundland.

What caused the Portland to sink on the fateful morning of Nov. 27, 1898? While no witness survived the Portland’s loss, it’s easy to figure out the culprit.

A storm, now known as the Portland Gale in honor of the shipwreck, hammered New England during a 24-hour period Nov. 26-27, 1898. The effects of this storm off the coast destroyed the sidewheeler with all hands aboard. And at its height, this mighty gale’s effects were felt as far west as Vermont.

According to reports by meteorologists 100 years on, the hurricane-like storm was the result of a twin low-pressure phenomenon centered off the coast of Virginia. This low then tracked north, gathering strength, with the New England region in its crosshairs.

At the peak of the infamous Portland Gale, the Massachusetts coast experienced a mammoth storm surge of over 10 feet with hurricane-force winds recorded on the island of Nantucket. Heavy snow fell along the coast and inland.

But for the crew and passengers of the Portland, Nov. 26, 1898, began like any other day except for the extreme chill, a wintry mix in the air, and a rapidly falling barometer.

At 7 p.m., Capt. Hollish Blanchard oversaw the paddle steamer as it left its familiar berth at India Wharf in downtown Boston. The skipper knew his route well as he commanded the vessel out into the dark open sea, in the direction of Portland, Maine.

Shortly after departing Boston, Capt. Blanchard ran headlong into the fury of the gale as the big ship steamed north, off Cape Ann. He must have known the Portland would confront heavy weather off the coast. Apparently, Capt. Blanchard had his hands full when the Portland was confronted by a mounting, violent sea cou-

pled with an horizontal rain of salt spray and extremely low visibility.

It is believed by some that the ship went down at 5:45 a.m. Nov. 27. This is based on sightings of a large ship off Thatcher ’s Island and the sound of a steamship distress whistle heard early in the morning. Capt. Blanchard, or so it appears today, fought bravely to keep the Portland upright and on course for many hours.

In the midst of this 19th S.S. Portland: “The Titanic of New England” sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1898. There were no survivors. century “perfect storm”, Photos courtesy of the U.S. Maritime Administration there would have been little chance of survival in the 64-71 knot winds and violent waves, some cresting higher than a 10-story building. If ever there was a conjuror of Hell on Earth, the Portland Gale at sea was surely it.

Excluding Capt. Blanchard and the other deaths aboard the Portland, the megastorm of 1898 killed 407 persons. Its tsunami-like waves and coastal surge sank 158 boats and ships, possibly more.

According to a Boston newspaper account on the day following the storm, “Miles of coastline from Buzzards Bay to Cape Ann are strewn with wreckage. A blanket of numbed sadness smothers coastal New England this morning.”

RESERVATIONS ACCEPTED Only 36 bodies from the Portland were ever recovered on nearby beaches. Many claim wind-up wristwatches on some of the victims were stopped at 9:15. If true, was it 9:15 a.m.

• Roast Leg of Lamb or p.m.? We’ll never know.

• Maple Glazed Baked Ham It wasn’t until 2002 that the submerged wreck of the Port• Prime Rib of Beef land was located. Using data generated by the American Underwater Search and Survey a few years earlier, a survey vesONLY sel located the soggy remains of the Portland. High resolution images of the wreck were taken to confirm its identity.

Debris fields, akin to the Titanic’s, were found. The items included porcelain dishes, cups, and passenger personal effects.

In addition to our regular menu serving at noon Today, located seven miles off Massachusetts, the site of the sunken Portland is a lonely, cold grave for what little remains of the ship and its 192 passengers and crew. Other wrecks, victims of earlier New England gales, rest nearby.

Located well within U.S. waters, the Portland wreck was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

Home equity use: no I longer home equity abuse

R

ecord numbers of refinancing homeowners have stopped using their home equity as an ATM machine for withdrawals and instead are making more deposits.

In the last quarter of 2011, a record 85 percent of homeowners who refinanced their first mortgage maintained the loan amount or lowered their principal balance by adding cash to the deal at closing, a 26year high, according to what is now dubiously called Freddie Mac's Cash-Out Refinance Analyses.

It's a trend that reflects faith in the value of the home as an investment. When home values rebound, those who've maintained or improved their home value will be ahead of the game and enjoy exponential returns on home equity growth.

Perhaps more aptly dubbed a cash-in refinancing study, Freddie Mac's report found a whopping 49 percent of refinancing homeowners actually reduced their principal balance, while 37 percent retained the same loan amount.

In addition to the long term benefits, many of those homeowners are enjoying some immediate financial breathing room.

“The typical borrower who refinanced reduced their interest rate by about 1.4 percentage points. On a $200,000 loan, that translates into saving $2,700 in interest during the next 12 months,” or about $225 a month, said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist.

With home purchase mortgage rates and refinance rates at record levels, more and more homeowners are being prompted to take a hard look at cashing-in on their home equity, instead of cashing-out.

Refinanced mortgages comprised 80 percent of all home loans the week ending Feb. 1, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).

Homeowners are also protecting their refinanced investment by locking in their

20940

savings with fixed rate mortgages (FRMs) instead of riskier adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). FRMs comprised more than 94 percent of the loans made for the week ending Feb. 1, according to MBA. “Savvy homeowners are taking advantage of some of the lowest fixed rates in more than 60 years to lock in interest savings,” said Nothaft.

The average interest rate on 30-year fixed rate mortgages (FRMs) fell to a record low of 3.87 percent, for the week ending Feb. 2, according to Freddie Mac. The trend is a decided shift from the days when home equity became the "psychological equivalent of gold," and experts said one of the best way to use home equity was to move it into capital investments that provided an equal or greater return than home equity gain. Home improvements, education for the kids, new business finances, a second home and other financial moves can still be a good use for home equity - if you have it.

Smart homeowners with little, if any equity, including underwater homeowners with negative equity, apparently are investing in their own home as an investment that's just as, well, capital.

Freddie Mac said among the refinanced loans it analyzed, the median value change of the collateral property was a negative 4 percent over the median prior loan life of almost four years.

In comparison, the Freddie Mac House Price Index shows about a 23 percent decline in its U.S. series between September 2007 and September 2011.

That generally means borrowers who refinanced in the fourth quarter owned homes that had held their value better than the average home.

’m a 51-year-old guy with 51-yearold guy hearing.

In some situations my hearing is first rate and I hear very well: A bank teller, a talented minister preaching from the altar, wait staff, cat purrs, my lawn mower engine, a knife clicking against the bare wall of a peanut butter jar, a sock being pulled over a clean foot, and a B string a few bits flat or sharp.

My hearing falters mostly when sounds compete. A voice at the other end of my cell phone can be a tough read if there are other sounds close by. It can be hard to hear words from a date, at a restaurant that isn’t particularly well sound proofed.

If a person speaks softly and not clearly, even in a room with good acoustics, they can be hard to hear. But most alarming and age telling perhaps is the fact that quite often if I’m not looking directly at the person addressing me, I miss portions of their sentences.

Yup, day by day by day more and more important body parts diminish. Par for the course of years gone by.

You know something I do hear? Hand dryers in public restrooms. I’ll hear those on my deathbed if I’m 115, deaf, and a hundred miles form the nearest one.

They’re loud those hand dryers. The new ones I mean. You know, the ones that turn a restful restroom experience into a dither with the most agonizingly grating 20 seconds of sound human kind has mustered since the invention of the jet engine.

Actually, I’m not so sure those dryers aren’t powered by a jet engine. I’m not so sure if you broke one off a wall and bungeed it to the hood of your pick-up cab and popped your hand in front of it, that you and your truck wouldn’t take off and not stop till you reached the moon. (By the way, aren’t we supposed to have been pretty much moved in up there on the Moon by now, lock stock and Tang? Oh, that was Mars, yeah, I’m sorry, not the Moon, Mars) What’s up with those ultra annoying sound pukers anyway man? Who the heck came up with them, and what was the person thinking. “Here’s a machine that’ll dry a flooded river bed in 15 seconds, and

deafen anyone within 20 feet of it.

Here’s the machine that’s loud enough that if you haven’t gone to the bathroom by the time it’s triggered, when it’s triggered, you will. Every restroom’s gotta have one.

Yep.” Do you ladies have those new loud cussed machines in your restrooms? Or do you have paper towels, or the awful hanging linen towel thing, the one where the linen is attached from both ends up in the dispenser? The one I still haven’t figured out how to pull out more fresh linen from, so I end up half-heartedly drying my hands on the same patch of semi-soiled wrinkly wet cloth that seems to have been being used for days on hundreds of pairs of hands. Or ladies do you have an old air hand-dryer that really doesn’t have enough hot air pressure or heat to actually dry your hands, but, won’t make you barf from the viscous noise?

The following list of things freak me out about those new loud as jet engine hand dryers: 1. The decibel level.

2. The extreme heat the machines dispense.

3. That I haven’t heard any one else mention even a word about how loud they are, or complain about them in anyway.

4. I’ve seen dudes stick their heads under the dispenser, taking the whole of the machines force, power, heat and sound, inches from their ear.

What gets me most about the new loud hand dryers though? I never, I mean I never remember them, … until they go off, and then it’s too late, my serenity is blown.

Remind me will you, if you see me in a restaurant, to hold it.

SHS students stage a revolution–in the arts

More funds for homeless Vt vets From News Reports newmarketpress@denpubs.com WASHINGTON D.C. – Vermont’s congressional delegation, U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch, announced $153,000 in federal funds to provide permanent housing and support services to 25 homeless Vermont veterans.

The funds will bring 25 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers to Vermont to cover the cost of qualifying rental apartments for homeless veterans.

The vouchers will allow veterans to move from homelessness or temporary shelter into more permanent housing.

Today’s announcement brings the total number of VASH vouchers in Vermont to 120.

Leahy said, “We train our men and women for service and supply them during conflict, and we owe them our continuing support when they return home.”

“This assistance provides badly-needed housing for homeless veterans in Vermont. It is a national disgrace that one-sixth of the 650,000 Americans who are homeless on any given night are veterans,” said Sanders, a member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.

“This is a step forward, but clearly more must be done to support the men and women who served this nation bravely and honorably.”

Welch, one of the leaders in the House pushing for an increase in VASH vouchers to meet demand, said, "This assistance will make an incredible difference in the lives of Vermont veterans who have fallen on hard times.

These brave men and women have stepped forward and put their lives on the line to defend our country and they deserve our full support.”

The announcement is part of a $72.6 million nationwide push to provide permanent housing for more than 10,000 homeless veterans.

4-H horse show in Castleton, April 14

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com CASTLETON – More than 80 Vermont 4-H club members are expected to compete at the State 4-H Horse Hippology Contest, April 14, in Castleton. Spectators are welcome to attend the free event, which is co-sponsored

by University of Vermont (UVM) Extension and Rutland County 4-H. The action gets underway at 9:30 a.m. at the Tedesco Stables at Angier Farm (on Route 4A) where the horse judging component of the competition will take place. At the conclusion of the judging, which consists of one halter and one performance class, the event will move to Castleton-Hubbardton Elementary School.

Following lunch, the contestants will participate in a written test, actions (testing of cognitive and hands-on skills such as tack assembly, knot tying or balancing a feed ration) and identification stations. For the latter, they will be judged on their ability to identify tack and equipment, forages, horse breeds and origins and other equine-related items.

The 4-Hers, 8 to 18, will be divided into groups based on age. Rosette ribbons will be awarded to the top scorers in each division through tenth place. All others will receive participation ribbons.

The four highest scorers in the senior division, ages 14 years old and up, will earn a spot on the State 4-H Horse Hippology Team, which will compete at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Round-Up in Louisville, Ky. in November, against top teams from several other states. A separate senior novice division is open to any teen, 14 and older, who is either new to 4-H or a first-time participant in the state horse hippology contest.

Anyone competing in this division will not be eligible for the state team.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase onsite for both spectators and competitors.

To learn more about horse hippology and other Vermont 4-H horse events, contact Wendy Sorrell at 656-5418 or toll-free at (800) 571-0668, ext. 2.

21 nominated for Vermont environmental award Nominees include Addison Rutland and Windsor counties residents RUTLAND – Twenty-one Vermonters and Vermont organizations have been nominated for the 2012 CVPS-Zetterstrom Environmental Award, which will be presented later this spring.

The award, first presented in 2010, was named for Zetterstrom to honor her work to promote ospreys’ return from the brink of extinction in Vermont, and to recognize others who follow her example. Zetterstrom inspired CVPS and the Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife to collaborate to help

ospreys, an effort that culminated with their removal from the endangered species list in 2005.

The award nominees are the following Audubon Vermont, which improves habitat for declining bird species, coordinates statewide bird population monitoring, assessments and management, and educates Vermonters on birds and habitat conservation.

Dalai Lama to visit Middlebury MIDDLEBURY — Do spiritual and religious traditions offer guidance that inspires action? His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, 77, the spiritual leader of Tibet and winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, will explore this thoughtprovoking subject when he visits Middlebury College to deliver two lectures one to the campus community and another to the public on Oct. 12-13.

Middlebury faculty, staff, students and ID holders may attend his talk, “Educating the Heart,” at 1:45 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12. His lecture at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, “Finding Common Ground: Ethics for a Whole World,” will be open to the public.

Tickets for both events, which will take place in Nelson Arena, will be available through the Middlebury College Box Office.

The theme of his visit, “Cultivating Hope, Wisdom, and Compassion,” encompasses both of his lectures. According to Middlebury College President Ron Liebowitz, the purpose of the talks is to help people explore resources for hope, optimism and cooperation, while challenging them to lead lives of courage and engagement.

“We are deeply honored that the Dalai Lama, a man of peace who embodies these qualities, is coming to Middlebury,” said Liebowitz.

“The problems that face humankind today, and that this generation of students will be called upon to address, will necessitate not only knowledge

and technological ingenuity, but also compassion, determination and sacrifice,” said Liebowitz. “These human attributes and virtues have long been fostered and sustained by the world’s religious, spiritual and philosophical communities.”

“The Dalai Lama understands that the challenges we face in healing our planet require many peoples to come together as one if we are to be successful,” said Middlebury College Chaplain Laurie Jordan, who helped to organize his visit. “We are interested in exploring how activists and everyday citizens alike can draw strength from each other and from cultivating their own inner lives.”

The Dalai Lama’s visit this fall will be his third to Middlebury. He was previously on campus for two symposiums—in 1984 for “Christ and the Bodhisattva,” and in 1990 for “Spirit and Nature: Religion, Ethics and nvironmental Crisis.”

A steering committee at the college has been working under the guidance of the Venerable Lama Tenzin Dhonden, personal peace emissary for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, to arrange this fall’s events.

Born in Tibet 77 years ago, Tenzin Gyatso was named the 14th Dalai Lama when he was 2 years old, becoming the successor in a line of political and spiritual leaders spanning six centuries. In 1959 he escaped after a failed Tibetan uprising against China. Since then he

has been living in Dharamsala, in northern India, the seat of the Tibetan political administration in exile.

In 1989 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent struggle for the liberation of Tibet. He also became the first Nobel Laureate to be recognized for his concern for global environmental problems.

The Dalai Lama has received many awards, honorary doctorates and prizes in recognition of his message of peace, inter-religious understanding, universal responsibility and compassion. The author of numerous books, he makes frequent speaking engagements around the world.

Tickets for both lectures will be available from the Middlebury College Box Office. Tickets to the campus lecture will be available in May, and will be free of charge for students with a Middlebury I.D. Tickets for the public lecture will go on sale in June.
