newmarketpress@denpubs.com SPRINGFIELD — On May 10 at approximately 3:45 p.m, the Springfield Police Department arrested Brian Aubuchon, age 34 of Randolph.

Aubuchon was arrested on Oak Street, near Pot Belly Pub, in Springfield, as a fugitive from justice.

Aubuchon was taken into custody without in-

cident. Arresting officers from the Springfield Police Department’s gang unit located drugs and a large amount of money in Aubuchon’s possession; however a weapon was not located.

Aubuchon is also being held in Springfield for his outstanding warrants for assault and robbery, stemming from last week’s robbery in Hartland, and for Escape from Furlough, stemming from a 2010 robbery in Braintree.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced $2 billion in high-speed rail awards providing an unprecedented investment to speed up trains in the Northeast Corridor, expand service in the Midwest and provide new, stateof-the-art locomotives and rail cars as part of the Administration’s plan to transform travel in America.

According to Christopher Parker, executive director of Vermont Rail Action, “Vermont's application for funds on the Western Corridor was not

funded. This is bad news.”

But Vermont’s loss was a gain for other nearby states: The Department’s Federal Railroad Administration selected 15 states and Amtrak to receive $2.02 billion for 22 high-speed intercity passenger rail projects as part of a nationwide network that will connect 80 percent of Americans to high-speed rail in 25 years.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and annual appropriations have, to date, provided $10.1 billion for rail access to new communities and improving See RAIL page 5

RUTLAND — On May 11, Rutland City voters said “no”— loud and clear—regarding the $3.9 million bond to construct a new recreation center downtown. Supporters of the defeated bond had hoped voters would support a plan to renovate the Giorgetti Recreation Center.

The bond vote failed 1,789 to 1,592. More opponents appeared to cast votes since the Town meeting Day support vote.

Bond opponent John Mattison who helped organize the bond revote said, “We did what other people said we couldn't accomplish.”

Blacksmiths to gather at frontier fort

Fort at No. 4 in Charlestown, N.H., will feature a Blacksmith Weekend for Vermont and New Hampsire blacksmiths.

The Hammer Alliance, a newly formed group of blacksmiths , will be be displaying the craft of blacksmithing spanning a limited time-line, focusing on traditional methods using charcoal, bitumenous coal, and propane and will forge both iron and mild steel into traditional shapes and forms to create items for the gift shop at the frontier fort.

Although the Granite State Hammer Alliance is currently small, it is quickly picking up new members and others interested in this traditional craft. The group will be setting up adjacent to the Fort's blacksmith shop with various styles of forges, anvils and equipment.

Most blacksmith groups meet only amongst themselves, however, the Hammer Alliance is focused on demonstration

and education using traditional methods and styles of blacksmith, and showing how these traditional techniques can be applied to modern forging.

Many modern blacksmiths are producing more cost-effective items with electric welding and industrial style tools, and are not practicing the older ways. The Alliance's goal is to keep these traditional techniques practiced over many centuries alive, and ensure these traditional ways are not forgotten.

Members of the Alliance in Vermont and New Hampshire have both volunteered and worked at fort in the past, and are supporting the new sponsorship and efforts to keep the Fort at No. 4 alive and educating our young in the 18th century way of life of which blacksmith played a necessary and integral part.

The Civil War goes digital in Castleton

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com CASTLETON — A seemingly daunting project was accomplished handily and professionally by a group of Castleton State College history faculty and students. The project: bring the Town of Castleton’s Civil War enrollment record into the 21st century.

In tandem with the college’s library staff, the team digitized the town’s Civil War enrollment roster. After completing the transition from paper to electrons, the students created a unique website titled “Conscripting Castleton: The Draft in a Northern Community During the Civil War.” The idea to digitize the roster of soldiers dates back to 2007.

Four years ago, the college library became the owner of a rare and valuable 50-page, hand-scribbled roster. It was the Vermont town’s only official record of the eligibility of local men for service in the U.S. Army.

Enter CSC Professor Andre Fleche.

Fleche, a Civil War scholar, got his history students involved. Brianna Gagne and Jake Richards helped their professor transcribe the fragile document, which—even in English—was difficult to read.

According to Fleche, “The roster identifies more than 200 Castleton-area resi-

dents who served in the Union armies and all the military-aged men who lived in town, including those who were drafted, died, paid commutations, or relocated. This website will interest scholars, genealogists, and anyone interested in local history or the Civil War.” With the help of library staffers the actual pages were scanned, so that visitors to the website can view both the original document and the modern, more readable version.

Library director Sandy Duling said,

“It’s often assumed that only major university libraries will undertake digitization projects.

From the Editor

When the going gets tough

V

ermont legislative leaders were quoted last week as saying that the session just ended was the most boring session in a long time.

Oh, really? I guess if you’re in the majority party’s shoes, having the monopoly of political power in Montpelier is probably ever so tedious— too few opposition rodents to chase around the House.

Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) has described the 2011 Legislative Session as the session for “getting tough things done.” How tough can it be when you have a rubber stamp in the House and don’t really make any tough decisions in getting one’s fiscal house in order?

According to Vermont’s tough new GOP bulldog chairwoman Pat McDonald, the majority sure did some tough things last session—“the Democrat supermajority made things tougher for Vermonters,” she quipped. No matter, Democrats weren’t even listening.

Here is what McDonald, and her minority party members, are griping about regarding the last legislative session.

We’ll paraphrase some of McDonald’s words below: Raised taxes— •$20 million in new tax revenues were levied against various segments of the health care field as well as $4.3 million against tobacco products.

What, more taxes?

•Property taxes will likely increase due to expanded access to pre-K programs and a $23 million reduction in general fund transfers to the education fund. What, still more taxes?

Weak job creation effort— The House job creation and economic development bill (H.287) is

weak. “Where are the investments into the creation of meaningful and sustainable Vermont jobs,” McDonald asks?

Fed funds— Vermont’s budget is too dependent on federal handouts, according to the minority party. “The governor and Democratic leaders are already anticipating a $70 million budget shortfall next year,” McDonald said. It’s Candy Land on the Winooski when Uncle Sam comes ot the rescue.

Tax structure— When it comes to state tax structure, “It’s no surprise that the supermajority..., directed by Gov. Shumlin, took education off the table,” McDonald said. “But with a total expenditure of $1.4 billion for education, there has to be room for thoughtful cost containment and reduction in property taxes while ensuring continued support for students and teachers while strengthening the quality of education.”

McDonald is right on and she’s building up a powerful arsenal that will be used in the next election.

But it’s clear that in order to expand Vermont’s economy and create better, high-paying jobs (beyond green), both parties in Montpelier must work together, although I am not sure how this can be accomplished with such divergent visions: no matter, the goal must be to make the Green Mountain State more affordable and not create more financial burdens on people and businesses.

P.S. Relying on Uncle Sam’s federal funds to create Candy Land on the Winooski, while increasing property taxes, ain’t the way to do it.

Being alone I

’ve known my best buddy 35 years.

He was 10 years old, and I was 15.

When my high school band would play a concert for the grade school kids, I’d snatch buddy Eric from class to help set up my drums. We’ve been tight every since.

We’ve never been ticked at each other, no fights. Oddly enough, we even look similar.

So similar, that if we go to Burlington to gander at chicks, we make sure to not wear similar clothes; if we did, we’d look like absolute nimrods.

We’re both self-employed, which gives one total flexibility over one’s schedules.

(Since the Royal wedding I’ve been on a kick of using, “one” instead of “someone” or “somebody.”)

So, I’m utilizing my flex schedule next week and visiting my sister Holly in Albuquerque, N.M. A couple of days, Holly and I will spend in Santa Fe looking at art and blue sky.

It’ll be fun. Always good to see my sister, who works as a campus director at a college. Like me and my pal Eric, Holly is single. Holly and I are very close, too. If we have the rare argument, it’s not anything lasting more then a few minutes.

Eric, a woodsman, just took a two-day jaunt to Maine to rummage around the woods looking for moose sheds.

Eric doesn’t plan his scouting trips; he decides to do them and then—boom, bang— he’s off. He lands way up the end of a road he’s hunted for years, 70 miles from the nearest Hannaford supermarket, and 30 miles from the nearest Ma n’ Pa store that he says, is more like a real Ma and Pa’s house— where one can buy cigs and boiled eggs— than a general store.

Eric brings hamburgs, hot dogs, a small cook stove, soda, and a tiny heater, and camps in back of his early 2000s model Dodge Durango truck.

Eric describes his scavenger hunt for moose sheds with the zeal of a geology grad student on an African safari. He retires at 7:30 p.m. in the rear of his Durango; he falls asleep to the call of nearby loons. Rising at 5:30 a.m., and stepping through the deep Maine wilderness for hours and hours searching for sheds, the only sound he hears when he stops for a bit of lunch is the sound of the wind.

Now Holly has two cats. She’s around folks all day at work, but mostly when she’s home, beside black and white Nickie and Natalie, she’s alone. She will take an

S

eeing Stars has looked at solar power satellites—aka solarsats—several times in the 11-year-long lifetime of this weekly column. It’s time to revisit the idea for new trends.

First, let’s remember that an average of 341 watts of solar energy falls on every square meter of Earth.

This includes both Earth’s night side and north and south poles.

Unfortunately, our atmosphere blocks a lot of the Sun’s energy which is where solar power satellites, or solarsats, come in to save the day. Free of Earth’s blanket of air, an orbiting fleet of solarsats could collect up to 5 kilowatts of energy per square meter.

The idea of solarsats has been around since the 1970s, but with the price of oil rising in the long term, the 21st century may become the century of solarsats.

According to Jeff Keuter, president of the George C. Marshall Institute, the concept of space-based solar power

overnight in Santa Fe every now and then, sometimes with a friend, sometimes alone.

I live with my cat Scarlet at road’s end, high up the side of a mountain, in a house with very little space to hang art because of the abundance of windows set through which to view other mountains and many valleys and various critters of land and air.

I’m not a woodsman, but I take a daily hike behind my house to the ridge of the mountain, alone, worshiping nature’s many gifts each step of the way. My hikes take and hour or two.

I’m not as hardy as Eric in that I’d rather sleep in a comfortable bed then in the back of a rig. Eric, my sister, and I apparently would just as soon sleep alone.

I’m often asked, “You don’t have kids?

Aren’t you scared you’ll be alone when you get older with no one to take care of you?”

No. I’m alone now and not scared. Am I going to change when I’m 75 and start not enjoying living alone? I doubt it.

I know a woman with six kids, grandkids numbering in the teens, and a few great grandkids. She’s age 75, widowed, seemingly doing quite well, but if you talk with her it becomes apparent that she’s nearly always feeling very alone, lonesome, depressed, her kids say. I know for a fact that a couple of this woman’s kids and grandkids check in with her a day or two a week—so for her to say she’s always alone isn’t literally accurate. She just feels alone in relation to her hey day when her husband was alive and her kids were all younger and at home. And this she feels with kids, grandkids and great grand kids living all very close to her, many in the same small town.

Maybe living alone is good because if you live to be very old, you’re mostly forgotten, or should I say, you’re not normally on the top of everyone’s visiting list?

In our youthful and coupled society relevancy has not set a place for you to sit; your kids have kids who have kids who get the attention, so if you end up spending most all of your time alone, if you’re used to being alone, you won’t feel abandoned, lonesome, and in some cases depressed.

So, all you folks who’re surrounded by lots of family all the time: don’t you go worrying about Holly, Eric, and I. If we three live out our last years mostly alone, you may want to envy us or at least study us just a touch to see how we’re spending great amounts of time alone. You may want to call on a similar ability in your final years.

Maybe it is a good thing to be alone.

Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.”

concerns developing a string of solar satellites around the Earth is technically feasible today: “It will require a great deal of money,” Keuter said, “but it is certainly possible.”

A recent U.S. government study suggests that a large solarsat, providing enough energy to light several large cities the size of Burlington, Vt., would cost $10 billion. The price tag excludes ground-based infrastructure to collect the solarsat’s beamed microwaves and distribute the electricity.

Japan is currently spending millions of yen to develop a prototype solarsat that’s still many years away from flying.

The recent Japanese nuclear accident has caused even more attention on that nation’s solarsat project.

A new U.S. firm that is pioneering space-based power is Exploration Partners, LLC of New Mexico and Oklahoma. The firm is a shoestring operation but it’s one among a group of creative, emerging pioneers in solarsat financing and development.

Formed in 2005 by entrepreneurs Royce Jones and Tom Taylor, EP developed two, low-cost space-solar power satellite designs. The designs were created with cost effectiveness and safety

in mind.

A single EP solarsat could generate 100 megawatts of electrical power.

Estimated costs? How does $250 million per satellite plus $150 million to launch in low Earth orbit sound? That’s considerably lower than U.S Government estimates plus there's no "visual pollution" from the likes of large conventional power stations or noisy wind generators cluttering ridgelines and seacoasts.

According to EP’s Royce Jones, “The financing (for our solarsat plan) is pretty straight forward. Each power satellite is leased to the end user. We don't sell the power generated, they do.

Since the satellites are small, i.e., only 20,000 kg., and can launch on a single existing launch vehicle, they are fairly inexpensive versus building a nuke plant. Each satellite, that we call a SolarSat, can produce 100MW of power to the grid. There are two basic markets— the northern nations and the equatorial nations. Each market will have its own constellation of satellites.”

Rail from page 1 the reliability, speed and frequency of existing lines. Of that, approximately $5.8 billion dollars has already been obligated for rail projects.

A strict “Buy America” requirement for high-speed rail projects is part of the new federal requirements.

According to the U.S. Government, the dedicated rail dollars will: •Make an unprecedented investment in the Northeast Corridor, with $795 million to upgrade some of the most heavily-used sections of the corridor. The investments will increase speeds from 135 to 160 mph on critical segments, improve on-time performance and add more seats for passengers.

•Boost U.S. manufacturing through a $336.2 million investment in domestic state-of-the-art locomotives and rail cars.

• Continue laying the groundwork for the nation’s first 220-mph high-speed rail system in California.

Northeastern rail project highlights include: Amtrak–NEC Power, Signal, Track, Catenary Improvements: $450 million to boost capacity, reliability, and speed in one of the most heavily-traveled sections of the Northeast Corridor, creating a 24-mile segment of track capable of supporting train speeds up to 160 mph.

New York: NEC Harold Interlocking Amtrak Bypass Routes; $295 million to alleviate major delays for trains coming in and out of Manhattan with new routes that allow Amtrak trains to bypass the busiest passenger rail junction in the nation.

Connecticut: New Haven to Springfield Track Construction; $30 million to complete double-track segments on the corridor, bringing added intercity rail service to a route that plays an important role in the region, connecting communities in Connecticut and Massachusetts to the NEC, as well as Vermont.

Massachusetts/Maine: Downeaster Track Improvements; $20.8 million to construct a 10.4-mile section of double track between Wilmington and Andover. Track upgrades will increase schedule performance and dependability for passengers traveling on the Northern New England Downeaster

corridor.

New York: Empire Corridor Capacity Improvements; $58 million to construct upgrades to tracks, stations and signals, improving rail operations along the Empire Corridor. This includes replacement of the Schenectady Station and construction of a fourth station track at the Albany - Rensselaer Station, one of the corridor ’s most significant bottlenecks.

New York: Rochester Station and Track Improvements; $1.4 million for a preliminary engineering and environmental analysis for a new Rochester Intermodal Station on the Empire Corridor, connecting passengers with additional transit and pedestrian options.

Regarding Vermont’ failure to be selected for rail work, Vermont Rail Action Network’s Parker saud, “Vermont had applied for $80 million dollars of high speed rail funds from $2.4 billion award that had been rejected by Florida. The total available was reduced from $2.4 billion to $2 billion...

The Department of Transportation appears to have followed the "spread it around" theory of dispersing the money, making awards to 15 states.”

Parker speculated on why did Vermont not get the funds?

“Our application was solid,” he said. “But the money was awarded to projects in areas with greater population on existing routes. The larger problem is that we are not spending enough on infrastructure. This is a national concern. But like some other issues, this may be something that Vermont can take the lead on, finding our own solutions with local resources.”

Parker said the Shumlin administration said several of the other awards will benefit Vermonters, notably improvements between Albany and New York and Springfield, Mass,. and New Haven Connecticut.

“This is true,” he added, “nevertheless, it's understandable that the western side of the state feels left out. Lacking an interstate, the transportation infrastructure on the Western Corridor is worse than it was in the 1930s.”

Restoring the rail line will position the western part of Vermont for economic success in a future with diminishing energy choices, according to Parker.

“Infrastructure is destiny, as the community grows around it,” he said. “Infrastructure facilitates life and commerce. Better rail service will benefit travelers and freight shippers, but it also becomes a community asset, benefiting everyone.”

Robbery from page 1 On May 9 at 2:09 p.m., the Royalton Barracks received a 911 call about a robbery at the Mascoma Savings Bank, located in Hartland. Aubuchon indicated that he had a gun, handed the teller a bag, and demanded money. A weapon was not seen by the employees or other witnesses. He took an undisclosed amount of cash and left in a vehicle, headed southbound on Vermont Route 12/Route 5.

Aubuchon may have been in the company of two other white males. One described as 5’7”–5’8” tall, weighing 205–220 pounds, and last seen wearing a dark pullover, knit hat, and gray or silver jeans. The other white male was de-

scribed as having dark shoulder length hair.

Detectives with the Vermont State Police Bureau of Investigation responded to the scene to investigate, with assistance from the Department of Corrections Field Supervision Unit. Through the course of the investigation, using witness statements, surveillance footage, and assistance from probation officers, the suspect was identified as Brian Aubuchon.

An arrest warrant had been issued for Aubuchon signed by the Honorable Superior Court Judge William D. Cohen of the Windsor County Court. The bond is set for $250,000 with nationwide extradition. There was also active arrest warrant for Aubuchon for escape from furlough, stemming from a July 2010 robbery in Braintree.

Mayor Christopher Louras (D) said the parks and recreation department will now have to relocate from its current Dana Center headquarters—however, the new location has yet to be determined.

Currently, the Rutland School District has been leasing Dana to the city since 1995. An earlier facility on Center Street was closed. Dana was always intended to be a temporary site for the department offices.

It has been suggested that the Army Reserve armory could be used, but Louras opposes the idea.

Several city and school district officials have said that the Dana building should be demolished and the site developed.

News of the Week

Vt. group says single payer plan in doubt

MONTPELIER — The future of Vermont’s single payer health care system, which depends heavily on federal funding, may be in doubt, at least according to the National Federation of Independent Business chapter in Vermont.

The organization cited that last week’s United States House of Representatives vote to eliminate funding to help states create health care exchanges was a warning sign.

The House of Representatives voted 238-183, with five Democrats crossing over, to scratch $14 billion dollars set aside to help state governments build exchanges aimed at standardizing their respective health insurance marketplaces.

“The big hole in Vermont’s plan has always been its failure to specify a funding source,” said NFIB Vermont Director Shawn Shouldice. “The only clearly defined funding element was the federal grant money for health care exchanges, and now that could vanish as well.”

Shouldice said that while small business owners agree that the state’s health care system is broken, and while they pay substantially higher insurance premiums on a per-employee basis than large corporations, they are deeply uncomfortable with Vermont’s new law, expected to be enacted by Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) last week, because of its financing scheme.

“No one has a larger stake in health care reform than small businesses,” said Shouldice. “But it makes little sense to jump out of a plane before you know what’s in your parachute pack.

“We committed ourselves to reforming a $5 billion system; we don’t know what we are buying and we don’t know if we’ll have sufficient funding to meet the state’s needs,” she said.

Shouldice isn’t recommending that lawmakers repeal the measure that they recently enacted, but she’d like to see a plausible back-up plan that doesn’t require higher taxes on small businesses.

“They had better get working on Plan B,” said Shouldice.

“Our members are increasingly concerned that if the federal money doesn’t materialize, or if the program turns out to be more costly than the state anticipated, they’ll come back with higher payroll taxes or higher income taxes, both of which will ensure that fewer Vermonters will have jobs or health care,” she said.

Albro gives CSC commencement address

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com> CASTLETON — Dr. Paul Albro, a respected and influential professor, provided the 2011 Castleton State College Commencement Address May 14.

The commencement was held on the Old Chapel Green with nearly 400 students receiving degrees. The address was also shown to an overflow audience on a large video screen in the Casella Theater.

Albro taught business administration at Castleton from 1977 until his retirement last December. Popular among students, he was known for courses that were engaging but challenging. His expectations were always high; his capstone class for seniors, Strategic Management or Policy, was legendary.

His influence on the college extended far beyond his own classroom. During his career, he served as department chair

and president of the Faculty Assembly. His research led to a renewed emphasis on freshman advising and today’s First-Year Seminar program. Always an advocate of clear writing, he served on the committee that drafted the college’s Writing Standards.

Albro served bravely in Vietnam, and while a professor, was a volunteer fireman in both Castleton and Hubbardton.

Camping 101: Make your family camping trip a success T hough the economy has gradually begun to rebound, families with fresh memories are still reticent to commit to costly vacations. One of the more affordable and family-friendly vacation options is camping. Families get the chance to experience some of nature's most idyllic settings at a fraction of the cost of expensive resort vacations. But before venturing out in the great outdoors, a family should consider the following tips to ensure their camping vacation is a swimming success. * Research the weather. Before choosing a campsite, get a firm grasp of what to expect from Mother Nature while you're there.

Research weather patterns and how much the weather can vary during the time of year when you will be vacationing. Does the weather fluctuate significantly during the daytime and nighttime hours? Is rain likely or unlikely?

Weather conditions will dictate which gear is necessary for the trip, and families might want to avoid campgrounds that are frequented by rain. Adults might be able to cope with a rainstorm or two, but such conditions may make everyone miserable. * Find an activity-friendly campground. When looking for a campground, look for one that boasts a lot of activities. Adults might enjoy the simple relaxation of camping, but kids will likely need more to do. Look for a campground that can offer activities the children will like, such as hiking, kayaking, rafting, or even mountain biking. * Determine who you are as

campers. Not all campers enjoy the rustic life of camping. Some need to combine camping with the amenities of modern life, including running water and toilets that flush. Campers should be honest with themselves in regards to their needs in amenities when researching campgrounds. If you and your family will need a shower, consider renting an RV for the trip or choose a campground with accessible showers and restrooms. Veteran campers might scoff at such amenities, but families would likely prefer some combination of roughing it in the wild and modern day living. * Get the right gear. Entry to many campgrounds is free or nearly free. However, camping gear could cost money. The good thing about camping gear is it's reusable. If this year's camping trip is a success, then next year's trip won't cost nearly as much.

Visit a local camping store and explain your situation, including what you hope to get out of the camping trip and where you'll be heading. An associate should be able to help you find the right gear for your trip, including a tent, lights, a water filter, cooking materials, and inflatable mattresses. The materials needed for a successful camping trip are many, but again these materials are reusable and can last a lifetime if families choose the right gear. * Stock up on the essentials.

Once you have purchased the right gear, don't forget to stock up on the other essentials. Particularly during the warmer months, campgrounds can be very hot and insects abound. Be sure to bring

A family-friendly campground with plenty of activities for kids to have fun and make new friends of ten makes the ideal location for a family camping trip. Family vacations are a tradition for millions of families across the globe. Such vacations have declined in number over the last several years, when many families were forced to cut expenses in the midst of a struggling economy. adequate amounts of sunscreen and bug spray and apply each liberally every day. Even if the sky is overcast, apply sunscreen to avoid painful sunburn. Other essentials include toilet paper (bring more than you expect to use), bottled water, plates and utensils, and garbage bags. Be

sure to bring extra garbage bags to avoid littering in the campground. * Don't forget to have fun. Families should emphasize having fun when visiting the campground.

Because camping is not a resortstyle vacation, it's up to Mom and Dad to entertain the kids. Bring

along a guitar for a campfire singa-long, and pack a few board games the family can enjoy under the stars at night. If a nearby park is known for being especially family-friendly, consider it as a campsite. Kids might meet fellow campers their own age and make some new friends.

T

water will fly out. * Pool vs. sprinkler: Sure it's fun running through an icy-cold sprinkler, but leaving a sprinkler running for a while is a waste of water. Plus, it can drown surrounding plants and other landscaping items. Instead, take a dip in the pool or fill up a child-sized pool and later use the water to give a drink to potted plants. * Go safe with swing sets: Safety is often the name of the game when erecting a swing set in the yard. It's a good idea to surround the ground surface with a material that will cushion falls. There are mulches and rubber pellets for this purpose, but these may be treated with chemicals and not be good for the environment. See if a local lumberyard or building supply store can drop sand in the area. It's all-natural and can be a

Consider the activities that fill warm days: Pool parties, water balloon tosses, bicycle riding, and afternoons spent on a swing set are just a few ideas that come to mind. Small changes can add up to big benefits for the planet. * Bye, bye balloons:What's more fun that getting sprayed with cold water on a hot day? Instead of purchasing disposable latex balloons that will end up in the trash after the first pop, look for reusable absorbent balls that can be dipped into a bucket and then tossed to a partner. When he or she catches the ball, splashes of

good shock absorber. * Recycle toys: While on the subject of swing sets and play materials, check out consignment shops or tag sales for gently used play items rather than brand new toys. Or initiate a toy swap in the neighborhood where once a year neighbors swap toys with one another so the kids have something "new"to play with. * Jump on a bike: Bicycles remain one of the greenest modes of transportation. Children clamoring for a new bike this season may be pleasantly surprised at how well a used bike or a handme-down may ride and look.

Sometimes all it takes is a little elbow grease to tune up a tired bike. * Enjoy nature: Instead of plastic toys and electronics, kids with creative imaginations can turn

Twigs can serve as dueling swords while rocks and leaves can be piled to make an impromptu fort or home base. Kids may enjoy themselves exploring parks and caves right in their own

neighborhoods. Just be sure to stress the "carry in, carry out policy" whenever enjoying nature.

That means not to leave trash behind and to disturb natural wildlife the least amount as possible.

Outdoor activities ideal for springtime Fish

O

nce winter has come and gone, adults and children alike are typically anxious to get outside and soak up some spring sun. Few things are as rejuvenating as those first few spring days, when the harsh winter weather is instantly forgotten and the smell of fresh grass is comfortably overwhelming.

When saying "so long" to cabin fever this spring, consider the following outdoor activities that are sure to put a spring in your step.

Many fishermen feel like fishing season never ends, choosing to simply add another layer of clothing when the temperatures drop rather than pack it up and wait till spring. For the hobbyist, however, spring is typically a time to find a favorite fishing hole and get back to business. How successful a fishing trip will be typically depends on a host of factors, including water temperature.

Oftentimes, the local newspaper will list the water temperature of the area's favorite fishing areas. Once nature decides to cooperate, get outside and enjoy the first catch of the season.

Golf Many golf courses re-open in the spring. Though some public courses stay open throughout the winter, the majority of courses do close once the weather becomes too unbearable for golfers to endure or too detrimental to the course's landscape. Depending on how harsh the winter was and the forecast for spring, golf courses typically re-open their links as early as the first week of March. Even if your favorite course doesn't open quickly enough, you can still dust off your swing with a visit to the local driving range.

Keep pets comfortable in warm weather M

en and women anticipate the arrival of warmer weather in the same way children look forward to Christmas morning. With a snowierthan-usual winter and chilly start to the spring in many regions, summertime sun and heat might be more coveted than ever before.

While many individuals have been counting down the days until 85-degree weather, pets may not have been sharing the same enthusiasm. The hot weather can bring discomfort to our four-legged friends.

It's widely known that keeping a dog chained up outdoors in the sun and heat is cruel, as is keeping him locked in a car while running errands. However, there are many other factors that come into play regarding keeping pets cool and comfortable when the mercury rises.

Unlike humans, pets cannot simply shed layers of clothes to cool down. Nor do they have the communication skills to tell people to turn up the air conditioning. It's up to pet parents to be in tune with their pets' needs and provide what they require. In order to keep pets content when the weather is warm, consider these suggestions.

Outdoors

Too much walking across hot surfaces can burn the pads. Check regularly for redness and gauge your pet's comfort level while walking. If he is limping or showing distress, it's time to cut the walk short. * Prickly foes. Seeds from foxtails and other grasses tend to be barbed and sticky. Cats and dogs may inhale these seeds or have them lodge in their paws and coats. If a pet seems to be under duress after being outdoors, grass lawns and burrs could be the culprit. Seek assistance from a veterinarian.

Indoors * Keep it cool. Don't turn off the air conditioning simply because you won't be home. If it's incredibly hot indoors, pets will become uncomfortable. Keep a ventilation source available, such as an open window, turned-on ceiling fan or leave the A/C set to low. * Leave water out. An indoor water bowl is a necessity, too. Check before leaving the house that there is plenty of water available to all pets. * Offer comfort. Summertime often comes with loud thunderstorms, motorcycles passing by or fireworks.

These loud noises can startle pets.

Routinely check on animals to be sure they aren't frightened or doing damage to the house from being scared. If you will be out, have a neighbor check on the pet. A radio left on or a television can help mask the summer sounds and soothe a scared pet. * Groom the pet. Talk with a groomer to decide on a cut that's comfortable for the pet. While many people assume shaving off all fur is the best option, fur actually insulates an animal. Removing it all can put the pet at risk for sunburn.

* Cool down. Have a source of water for pets to use to cool down.

This may be a retired baby pool, a misting hose, even a damp towel that can be used to rub over a pet's coat. Be sure this water source doesn't pose a drowning threat (i.e., don't leave a pool of water around young children or puppies). * Offer shade.The shade can reduce temperatures by COME SEE OUR NEW SELECTION OF QUALITY PLAYSETS FROM PLAY NATION & SWING KINGDOM! several degrees.

Other Tips * Walk dogs early in the morning and in early evening so that the jaunts take place when the weather is cooler. * If you'll be taking a dog along on a hike during warm weather, be sure to pack enough water for both of you. * Consider the use of dog booties to protect pads from hot pavement. * Dogs may not be allowed on beaches during the summer tourist season. Check ahead before planning a seaside adventure. * Warm weather helps parasites multiply. Don't keep food left out or it may attract bugs and become spoiled. * Check with a vet about medications that can ward off ticks and fleas, which tend to be in full force during warm weather.

For more summertime health tips for a pet, consult with a veterinarian or visit www.vetinfo.com.

At left: Dogs may enjoy the warm weather, but pets should take it easy when it's especially hot outside.

Raiders hammer Bellows Falls

By Joe Milliken

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — The Rutland High School softball team recently traveled to Westminster to take on Bellows Falls, hammering the Lady Terriers, 15-1, in five innings. The win (at press time) moved Rutland to 7-4 on the season. The loss dropped the Lady Terriers to 0-10.

Rutland scored early and often in this one, notching five runs in the first inning and four more in the second off Bellows Falls starter Emma Shaw, arguably the teams' best player, who was struck in the forearm in second inning by a line drive and had to leave the game.

The Raiders' Chelsea Poljacik got the start and earned her first varsity win, pitching a complete-game, four hitter,

while striking out seven and walking three. She ran into little trouble along the way and pitched very effectively throughout.

Emmy O’Rourke led the Rutland offense with three hits, including a double, triple, and three RBI's, while Lila Kikuchi and Alicia Miglorie each had two hits and two runs scored in the shortened, mercy-ruled contest. For Bellows Falls, Megan LaBeau and Ally Davis led the offense with a double each, while Shawna Coutu and Tasha Long each added a single.

Right: Rutland baserunner slides safely into second base, under the late tag.

CANON TIRE

MIDDLEBURY — James “Jak” Knelman, a junior winger on the Middlebury College hockey team for two seasons, is suing the college and its hockey coach, Bill Beaney, after being dismissed from the team in January of this year.

The lawsuit is seeking damages of $75,000 and alleges that Knelman was wrongly dismissed from the hockey team after leaving an alumni banquet shortly before the event had ended.

Knelman claims, however, that he left early to spend time with his father, who was visiting for the weekend.

The suit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court in Burlington on Wednesday, seeks recovery of damages and equitable relief to remedy breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith

and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duties and defamation in conjunction with his dismissal from the team.

Knelman’s lawyers claim that Coach Beaney berated Knelman in front of the entire hockey team then suspended and later removed Knelman from the team.

Middlebury College issued a statement in response saying that the school would answer the specifics of the complaint by Middlebury student James Knelman in due course.

In a recent official statement made by the school, Middlebury College spokeswoman Sarah Ray said the college will answer the specifics of Knelman’s complaint in due course. “As with most lawsuits, there’s more to the story than has
