Neutered Male. Domestic Short Hair Brown and Black Tiger.

My owner surrendered me to RCHS on April 30 because their living conditions had changed and I could no longer stay with them. I am just an absolute lover boy. I have lived with other cats before but I tend to let them know that I am in charge. I would fit in nicely to most homes because of my personality and because I have lived with dogs and children.

2 year old. Spayed Female.

As you will notice I have a notched ear because I was thought to be a feral kitty. Much to my new friend’s surprise they discovered I was very friendly and affectionate.

They brought me to RCHS to find a home where I can have lots of attention and do all the things that a kitty should do. I can be a little snippety at first with other cats but after a short time I am fine.

riving along you’d click it down with the upper third or quarter or eighth of your left foot, and bang: job done, no hands man, it was low beam and keep ‘em coming—cars that is.

You know what I’m talking about? How old are you?

Let’s see, you’d have to be what, 40, or 35 maybe, if your first car was used, to know what I’m talking about. Because if you count 18 as being first car owning age—and you’re 35—now, you were18, let me figure this, a 35 (sorry, I add out loud), year old was 18 in, what, 1992—so yeah, I’m right, if you’re in your 30s now, you’d have to have had an older car as your first car to know what I’m talking about; how beautifully the toe clicker high/low beam switch worked.

Remember the sound it made? It was a solid, All-American, “I poured eleven concrete piers today, got done at tenthirty, pouring the last one tomorrow,” guy type sound. Stop reading for a second and if you know the sound I speak of, and listen for it. Solid.

The definitive “kahnahca” sound the clicker made was enhanced by it’s being constructed so perfectly that when you pressed down on it your foot would ground off the strength of it’s rugged design, sending a not so subtle volt of juice up through your leg to your hip bone creating a muscle memory that, for me hasn’t dimmed a titch in more than twenty years. (Partially explains so many baby-boomer hip replacements) Interesting that the angle your foot rested on the clicker made it so the pressure you applied to operate the switch did not move it in a straight down trajectory, which led one to assume the clicker might wear fast, or malfunction regularly. But it rarely did.

Over time as the clicker clicked, your ears and bones would pick up more rattles; the once smooth down-up motion slowly evolved into a rickety down up. A simple drop of 3-in-1 Oil stymied most hitches in the clickers step for a good long while.

No oil needed when road dirt and salt would jam the clicker, most usually in the down position. Angling your left foot so the soul of your shoe was to the right and middle of the body of the clicker, then moving your foot only a tad,

ost T.V. channels straddle the 54–890 MHz (megahertz) frequency band. But even as technology changes, and more closed circuittype T.V. transmission methods are used en masse, it is likely that future video signals will still leak into space. But for our discussion, we’re interested in those early broadcast analog T.V. signals—signals out there.

Somewhere.

What would happen if terrestrial audioand-visual signals, dating back to the Golden Age of Television, were detected by extraterrestrials on distant planets? Is such an idea possible? And what would extraterrestrials make of our earliest T.V. signals?

Even with today’s digital television retooling efforts, television is disseminated widely by an old medium—radio transmission. Broadcast T.V., in its purest sense, is a form of radio; that is, radio with pictures.

It may come as a surprise to discover that the first powerful broadcast T.V. signals leaving planet Earth were neither the shortwave experiments by pioneering sci-fi writer and experimenter Hugo Gernsback in New York in the 1920s nor the broadcasts of 1950s American T.V. shows. Instead, the first T.V. signals to leave the Earth originated in Nazi Germany.

Earth’s earliest, far-ranging video signals were German propaganda broadcasts between the 1930s and mid 1940s. While its video propaganda plans never panned out, the socialist Nazi government had hoped to equip every German household with a free T.V. set. While the technology existed for German television by the mid 1930s, the cost of CRT (cathode-ray tube) manufacturing and the infant medium’s transmission infrastructure remained elusive. Hilter ’s opening remarks at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games appear to qualify it as the first deep-space signal.

Radio astronomer Chris Davis, of Britain’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, claims that terrestrial T.V.-radio signals like the Nazicasts of the ‘30s and ‘40s could be picked up on distant planets with the proper hardware and software.

“A good amount of Earth’s artificial radiowaves, like the shortwave frequency variety, never get past the ionosphere,” Davis said in a recent BBC interview. “However, modern broadcast television signals can pierce the atmosphere. These signals easily traverse space at the speed of light.”

But as these signals cross interstellar medium, they would become very diffuse and difficult to focus at the

receiving end.

“There are two things that you would need to get such a signal—firstly, it has to be able to leave our planet,

By Lou Varricchio secondly it would have to have as much power as possible,” Davis noted. “As you go into space that power would dissipate. They would need more and more sensitive equipment to pick it up.”

I’m sure that if advanced civilizations exist, they will have the ability to detect Earth’s faintest television-radio signals. Of the question, what would aliens make of these signals, well, that’s anybody’s guess.

But, somewhere—out there—the television broadcasts of the Apollo 11 lunar landing, and original episodes of “Star Trek” and “The Brady Bunch” are approaching the recently discovered planetary system of Zeta Reticuli.

Farther out into space, the original broadcast signals of “The Lone Ranger” and “Howdy Doody” are approaching the planets orbiting Pi Mensae.

And reaching even farther into the vastness of the Milky Way, hypothetical extraterrestrials 73 light years distant may be watching humanity’s first interstellar greeting—from none other than Adolph Hitler.

What’s in the Sky: As we saw last week, many deep space objects congregate in Cassiopeia this month. The brighter ones are NGC 884, NGC 869, and Cr 33.

and gently to the left for two solid taps, would release the clicker back to it’s up position. For severe jams, repeating the left foot tap would be necessary. Now and then, without warning, the clicker would release itself from the down position with a longslung spring-sprung “bouwnng,” promptly scaring the beejeebers out of you.

I miss playing the clicker in syncopation to “Jingle Bells” while I drove over the river and through the woods to grandmas. I remember toe clicking the second banjo part from “Dueling Banjos” so beautifully, the mice residing in my heater popped their little heads out of holes in my dash, and, with their mouths full of straw, hooted me a bravo.

I would trade global-positioning rigs, DVD players, individual compartmental heating options, cameras that assist you backing up, heated seats, 20-inch wheels, in-car computer gauges that give you a running tally of transmission temp, and any of the other fantastical bull-flop charge us a 10-pound bag load for more stuff we don’t need, for the old toe-clicker high/low beam switch in a heart beat.

The toe-clicker high/low beam switch was a more than efficient and fun-to-work characteristic that now, along with being able to change your oil, plugs and points, represents life lived in a less complicated generation.

Mr. Ford, Mr. Chevy—please bring back the toe-clicker hi/low beam switch! My blinker/hazard/front wiper-washer/rear wiper-washer/high/low beam switch lever is too busy with knobs for a simple-minded guy like me. I’m not kidding.

I long for the vanished toe-clicker high/low beam switch.

More gesture politics

I

n a mirror-image of a six-year-old quote—applicable to current events under the U.S. Capitol dome—we now know that members of the legislative branch, in deciding whether to audit the Fed, just voted against it before voting for it.

Most of us were not yet around when an earlier generation of legislators in the twin chambers adjacent to the capitol rotunda voted to create the Fed as a way of side-stepping their own constitutional duty of managing the American currency for value and stability.

In 1913, dissatisfied with private-sector banking’s issuance of bank notes over a 124year period with a dismal record of 12 percent in dollar-value shrinkage, the legislators installed a bureaucracy which has presided over (or orchestrated—you choose the correct verb) a 95 percent loss in purchasing power.

To this day, you won’t find that historical performance record discussed in the mainstream news media, much less conceded by Fed leadership itself.

Critics of the dollar-value shrinkage have been ignored or silenced: in my own amateur economist readings, I’ve learned that ex-Wall Streeter Benjamin Graham in the 1930s and past Fed member Wayne Angell in the 1990s proposed commodity based currency-stabilization designs. Meanwhile, present U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan started making commodity basket suggestions during the 2000s. But the history of Fed fecklessness goes back to its pre-World War I birth, not just the Great Depression.

Nowhere is it better described than in a 2009 tome entitled “Lords of Finance” authored by Liaquat Ahamed.

In 564 pages, “Lords...” paints a centurylong portrait of European and American financial leadership stippled with a document cascade of inept decisions, colleague deception, incorrect statistics, and raw politicking— a pattern preceding and paralleling, within the American Fed, the goings-on in the various European central banks.

Instead of relying on the “skilled” judgment of financial wizards to manage currency for constant value (the Fed now admits its goal is 2 percent annual inflation), the commodity dollar would be on automatic pilot so that its commodity purchasing power would remain constant, neither inflating nor deflating.

An old book, “Storage and Stability” is worth reading. Here’s from a website about the book: “When Benjamin Graham wrote Storage and Stability in 1937, the world was in the midst of the Great Depression. Written as a blueprint for economic recovery, the book was designed to spur both governments and the public to greater financial awareness. Based upon years of research and economic modeling, Graham's new theories focused on the inherent importance of supply and demand,

production and consumption, and their inherent influences on value investing.”

Well, that was in the 1930s. In the 1990s, Fed governor Wayne Angell hoisted a similar flag. Angell, now a Columbia professor, is no longer on the Fed. He has enjoyed similar political success in marginalizing even professional economists like Joseph Stiglitz, once a World Bank economist).

Here’s a typical professional (Stiglitz) opinion: “If we (World Bank) had seen a governance structure that corresponds to our Federal Reserve System, we would have been yelling and screaming and saying that country does not deserve any assistance, this is a corrupt governing structure”. Stiuglitz’s comments drew neither official recognition nor response.

And here’s Martin Harris’ opinion: Whether the Fed is internally corrupt or not— and that includes its documented history of tweaking monetary policy to please the inpower administration—matters less than whether it accomplishes its assigned mission, to regulate the value of the currency. It has failed at that mission. Could a commodity based dollar driven by mathematical formula, not professional judgment, perform any worse than 95-year/95 percent-devaluation failure? You decide. But probably it doesn’t matter.

That’s because gesture politics—the legislative branch’s proposed kabuki-play enactment of Fed-audit—contemplates none of the following: 1.review of the Fed’s 95-year performance history, 2. review of the Fed’s policy-tweaking political-campaign-support pattern, 3. The Fed’s role in enabling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to fund a trillion dollars worth (actually, worthless) of sub-prime mortgages, and 4. the academic argument for a more mathematical monetary policy, closer to the workings of a currency board regulating domestic currency to balance. Such a revision to present Fed authorization would replace skilled judgment (which has proven decidedly unskilled) with a more robotic formula.

You might call this a gold standard without the gold. But gesture politics will doubtless dominate, so the legislative branch’s review will focus on—drum-roll, please—emergency lending rules.

More next week.

Devil’s Bowl Speedway gets a new topper WEST HAVEN—After months of hard work, Devil's Bowl Speedway has been transformed from a dirt race track to a modern paved speedway. The venerable track has been an institution in western Vermont since 1967 and will be opening its 44th season of racing on May 23 on a brand new asphalt surface provided by Wilks Paving of West Rutland.

"Working with a local company like Wilks is the way I like to do business," said track promoter Jerry Richards. "Chris Wilks has been with me every step of the way and I couldn't be happier with the final product. We worked together using input from Mike Perrotte (promoter of Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh) and Tom Curley (promotor of Thunder Road in Barre) to design the progressive banking in order to turn this clay track into a paved surface that would provide the same level of excitement and competitive racing that we're used to."

Jerry and brother Bruce Richards (promoter at AlbanySaratoga Speedway in Malta, N.Y.), along with sister Sharon Richards, are partners of both race tracks and owners since 2005. In the past, Jerry managed the facilities while Bruce handled the promotional responsibilities. This year Bruce will take on all aspects of management at Albany-Saratoga and Jerry will do the same at Devil's Bowl. Jerry noted "Bruce lives in New York and I live in Vermont. It just made good business sense. It would have been a big enough learning curve for both of us without the decision to go to pavement, but we've been through a lot together and he's learning from me at the same time I'm learning from him. As far as the asphalt goes, we're learning together. Perrotte and Curley have been instrumental in helping Jerry Richards to make the transition to pavement racing.

Having the advice of the other nearby pavement promoters has been invaluable. Richards noted, “In working together, we hope to maintain and even strengthen local short track racing. It's a tough business, seasonal and dependent on weather and you have to have a certain amount of backbone to be in it year after year. Having grown up with it, it's in our blood and none of us can really imagine doing anything else, so this is a big gamble for us, but one we feel will really pay off going forward."

The season opener is scheduled for Sunday, May 23, and will feature the Thunder Road late models in a 100 lap race

Devil’s Speedway goes blacktop. to christen the new pavement. Devil's Bowl has also been fortunate to have some very important partners sign on to support local racing in 2010. Coca-Cola Products has been instrumental in helping with schedule distribution, and will provide all beverages this year at the speedway. The May 30 Tri-Track Series Modified Race is presented by Chittenden Bank. LaValley's Building Supply is holding their Employee's Night at the Races on June 6, and Ace Carting Corp. of Fort Ann is sponsoring the traditional Fourth of July show, in addition to bringing two race teams all season. Heritage Family Credit Union sponsors the Renegade Roundup on Aug. 15 and will continue the tradition of saying thank you to their customers by admitting all HFCU members into the grandstand for free that night. Brown’s Quarried Slate has returned as a sponsor, and CRM Specialties of Orwell has come on board for the first time.

The first two events on May 23 and May 30 are $15 adult tickets, while adult admission for regular shows remains only $10, and this year all children 12 and under will be admitted free. Racing will begin an hour earlier with a 6 p.m. start time. Up-to-date information and the complete racing schedule can be found on the internet at devilsbowlspeedwayvt.com and the speedway telephone is 802-265-3112.

Police continue search for missing Florida man The Vermont State Police continue to investigate the disappearance of Robert John Servian from Sarasota, Fla. Servian’s wife reported him missing to the Sarasota Police Department in Florida on April 2.

The Vermont State Police became involved in the investigation when Mr. Servian’s vehicle was located at the Holiday Inn parking lot off of Route 7 in Rutland on May 3.

Servian is described as age: 61 6'00" tall 210 lbs white hair blue eyes There is no information as to the clothing he was wearing at the time of this release. The wife advised that Robert had lost 35 pounds over the last year, but did not describe him as being in good physical condition.

The Sarasota Police Department is working in conjunction with the Vermont State Police to investigate the disappearance of Servian. He is believed to have voluntarily left his home in Sarasota in his personal vehicle, a 2010 two-door, white Honda Accord, bearing Florida tag number 355 LIL; he is believed to have left Sarasota on March 30 or March 31.

On April 1, an officer of the Virginia Highway Patrol conducted a traffic stop of the vehicle driven by Robert Servian.

The trooper was able to verify that Servian was the only person in the vehicle and Servian did not appear to

show any signs of distress. The trooper last observed Servian as he drove northbound on I-95, following the traffic stop.

Based on the uncertainty of his whereabouts, officers of the Sarasota Police Department entered Robert Servian as a missing person and information concerning his vehicle was entered into a national database (NCIC/FCIC).

On May 3, Servian’s vehicle was located in the parking lot of a hotel in Rutland. Servian had not been listed as a guest at the hotel. Investigators believe the vehicle may have been parked unattended at that location for several weeks.

Servian had not been located; therefore the vehicle has been treated as a potential crime scene by the Vermont State Police. Efforts made by the Vermont State Police included processing of the recovered vehicle, and conducting a K9 track. Robert Servian continues to be listed as a missing person.

Servian is known to be a hiking enthusiast and his vehicle was found within miles of one of his favorite hiking locations, the Appalachian Trail.

Anyone who may have information regarding Mr. Servian’s disappearance is requested to contact one of the investigative agencies listed below: Det. DeFrancisco, Sarasota Police Department, at 941-954-7070.

Det. Sgt. Abdelno, Vermont State Po-

Still missing: Robert John Servian lice, at 802-773-9101 The family representative for the Servians is Michael Shelton who can be reached at 941-928-0567.

At this time the family has provided the following statement: “We are worried for Rob’s safety and hope that he will return safely home to us soon. We appreciate all of the investigative efforts of the Vermont State Police and the Sarasota Police Department. If you have any information on Rob’s whereabouts, please contact one of these agencies to report the information. We thank you in advance for respecting our privacy during this difficult time.”

Cris Ericson on Ballot for Governor Editor, the Outlook: I was happy to receive a call today from the Secretary of State Elections Division. I am on the Nov. 2, 2010 official election ballot for Governor and U.S. Senator for the U.S. Marijuana Party.

Some parents and teachers who signed my petition understand "decriminalization". If a teenager gets even a minor marijuana conviction, they risk losing some college grants, like the Pell grant. Some families prefer kids to be punished by a fine, not criminal court drug diversion programs. Federal laws should be amended to expunge the tie-in with college grants to a drug court record. Rich kids go to college anyway because their wealthy parents don't need to rely on grants.

"Decriminalization" helps to equalize chances of success!

Some senior citizens who signed my petition understand that even though Vermont has a medical marijuana law, it is

CVPS recognizes energy customers Central Vermont Public Service celebrated the success of CVPS Cow Power™ by recognizing the farms and customers who have helped make it one of the top renewable energy choice programs in the world.

Honored by CVPS at a customer and farm appreciation event were the first six farms to produce Cow Power and the program’s top 10 commercial customers based on kilowatthour purchases.

“Our Cow Power farms and customers are the true backbone of this program,” CVPS President Bob Young said. “Because of their participation and support, Cow Power has become a meaningful option for all CVPS customers who want to buy renewable energy and support the local farm economy.”

Among the honorees were the Blue Spruce Farm, Pleasant Valley Farm, Green Mountain Dairy, Montagne Farm, Maxwell’s Neighborhood Farm and Gervais Family Farm.

On the customer enrollment side, Green Mountain College, Long Trail Brewing Company, Mary Meyer Stuffed Toys, Harrison Concrete Construction, Handy Automotive, Cobb Hill Cohousing, Middlebury College, Co-Operative Insurance Companies, Cas-Cad-Nac Farm and the Green Mountain National Forest were recognized for their significant voluntary support of the program.

The Cow Power process is simple: manure and other agricultural waste are held in a sealed concrete tank at the same temperature as a cow’s stomach, 101 degrees. Naturally occurring bacteria digest the volatile components, creating methane and killing pathogens and weed seeds. The methane fuels an engine/generator which sends electricity onto the power grid. The process kills almost all manure odors, and provides a soft material for bedding animals.

CVPS customers can choose to purchase the electricity at a premium of 4 cents per kWh which goes to participating farm producers, to purchase renewable energy credits when enough farm energy isn’t available, or to the CVPS Renewable Development Fund which provides grants to farm owners to develop on-farm generation. There are currently 3,640 customers enrolled in the program.

Since the first farm came on-line in 2005, CVPS Cow Power™ has generated over 29 million kilowatt hours of clean, locally produced renewable electricity. On average, the six Cow Power farms produce about 1.4 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 1,660 average Vermont homes while removing over 16,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents from the atmosphere through methane destruction.

Vermont combat veterans rally

still illegal under federal law. If a patient's progressive disease gets worse and they end up in a federally subsidized nursing home, they can't use medical marijuana there. Federal laws need to be amended.

Some farmers who signed my petition know that hemp products like clothing, rope jewelry and hand lotion, sold in Vermont stores, even Walmart, contain hemp fiber and hemp oil imported from foreign countries. It is illegal under federal law for a farmer to grow hemp in Vermont, and that is an unfair trade restriction. During a recession, it is "economic treason".

Some families don't like "Patient Privacy Policy" brochures that state, in fine print, that if your medical doctor thinks you are doing anything illegal then your doctor will report you to law enforcement. People want their privacy rights restored!

Families want to be able to ask a doctor to sign up their loved one for drug treatment without the risk of a criminal charge.

Some Vermonters, who brew and bottle beer or wine, want to brew and bottle marijuana and label it 5% strength like beer or 10% strength like wine, so you'll know what you are getting into.

Some Vermonters favor total marijuana legalization for adults, but are deeply opposed to taxing what they want to grow at home for their own use.

Some Vermonters think taxation and legalization will make Vermont a wealthy state. Did you know that California is voting for legalization this fall?

The "United States Marijuana Party" is an umbrella coalition of people who believe we should continue the conversation about hemp and marijuana.

Each individual who signed my petition might only have agreed to the idea of amending one of the pot-laws, but not all!

Downstreet's Brunch will include the amazing greens of Guerrilla Grown Produce and Magnificent Mimosas.

Springfield High’s “Proof” SPRINGFIELD – The play “Proof”, by David Auburn, will be presented by SHS students on Friday, June 11, and Saturday, June 12, at 7 p.m. Admission is donation only, with a suggested donation of about $5.

Proof tells the story of Catherine, a

slightly sarcastic and dour 20-something.

Upon the death of Catherine's father, Robert, a famous but mentally ill mathematician, Catherine claims to have written a revolutionary proof. Claire, Catherine's perkier sister, along with Hal, one of Robert's proteges, question the authorship of the proof as they try to decide whether Catherine has inherited her father's mathematic abilities, his insanity, or both.

This show has been completely directed

by SHS students, with production support from adult supervisor, Rebecca Skrypeck.

Directed by Kelsey Christensen, Catherine: Eliza Pennell, Robert: Ryan Gottschalk, Hal: Jon Esden and Claire: Jess Watkins.

Although the poem was written by McCrae, the poppy was first recognized as the Memorial Day flower in 1915 when a woman by the name of Moina Michael began to sell poppies in an effort to encourage further recognition of the day. Michael helped to begin the National Poppy movement and to commemorate her efforts a 3-cent stamp was created in her honor.

Inspired by a poem entitled, “In Flanders Fields”, the poppy has become the flower symbol for the Memorial Day Holiday. From the poem, written by Canadian physician and soldier John McCrae, we develop a sense that the poppy represents the blood shed by soldiers during times

Positive discipline for pre-schoolers program BELLOWS FALLS – Through the coordination efforts of the Springfield Area Parent Child Center, “Positive Discipline for Preschoolers”, the popular six week parenting group, returns to the Parks Place Wednesdays, May 26 through June 30 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Parks Place is located at 44 School Street in Bellows Falls.

Parenting is rarely a simple matter and no one can challenge or stretch a parent like a very young child who is learning and exploring his world one piece at a time. In the group, parents learn how to understand their growing child and how to exchange power struggles for respectful cooperation.

Parenting the Positive Discipline way is an investment in the present and future parent-child relationship. Author Dr. Jane Nelson suggests “When children and adults develop a concern for others and their community, and learn methods and problemsolving skills to act on their concern, we will have peace in the world.” Parents who use kindness and firmness to teach life skills will encourage self-respect, self-discipline, cooperation, good behavior, and problemsolving skills in their children.

All parenting groups coordinated by the Parent Child Center are held in both a fun and relaxed environment.

Call the PCC at 802-886-5242 to register.

Free child care provided on a limited basisplease call ahead.

Berube is Big Brother/ Sister coordinator BELLOWS FALLS — Youth Services’ newest employee is Janice Berube, recently hired as Rockingham coordinator for its Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring program in Windham County, Vt. Berube is supporting and advancing the mission, goals, and objectives of this awardwinning mentoring program in the greater Rockingham area while she increases the number of children served and the longevity of matches through training and community outreach. She will also be developing corporate, community and institutional partnerships that can provide potential volunteers and financial support to maintain this program which has no cost for participation.

Berube has been the owner of Curves in Bellows Falls since 2006 where she finetuned her skills in sales, marketing and public relations developed during the last decade. Prior to purchasing the fitness center franchise Berube was a sales representative for Richco Products of Springfield, Mass. There she was responsible for 100 accounts throughout Vermont. During the last two years, Berube also was employed as a merchandiser for Advantage Sales and Marketing of Virginia, for whom she set up displays, conducted inventory control and interacted with store management and reset teams.

No stranger to Windham County’s mentoring program, Berube has a firsthand knowledge of the rewards of volunteering as a “Big,” having been matched with a special “Little Sister” for four years and counting.

“Janice knows how easy it can be to start a friendship with a “Little” one hour a week, during the school day, afterwards, or on a weekend,” said Rob Szpila, director of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Being a “Big” has put magic into her life, and she wants to do the same for others, according to Berube. “Taking a walk, sharing a conversation, listening to music; it doesn’t have to be expensive,” she explained.

“Janice is organized, intentional and inspiring in her actions,” said Szpila of his newest employee.

“She melds her excitement about mentoring with strong organizational thinking to drive program outcomes and reach new

Nearly two hundred children in Windham County and nearby New Hampshire currently benefit from the program and are matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister.

Research shows Little Brothers and Little Sisters are: 46 percent less likely to begin using illegal drugs; 27 percent less likely to begin using alcohol; 52 percent less likely to skip school; and more confident about their academic performance in school.

To find out how you can get involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters, call Janice Berube at Parks Place at 463-9927 or visit www.youthservicesinc.org. Call to RSVP to an Ice Cream Social on June 3, from 5-7 p.m. to meet Berube.

Restaurant From page 1 America of Hyde Park, N.Y., the New England Culinary of Essex, Vt., and an apprentice in Manhattan and Orlando resort restaurants, Andy serves some of the most unique selection of sushi. He daily attains fresh seafood delivered from Hawaii, California, Australia, New Zealand, Boston, and Spain. The assortment will vary weekly or biweekly depending on the market.

“I’ve been eating sushi over 35 years abroad, and Andy has knocked my socks off,” said patron, Jack Dumas. “He has turned me onto things that I had never had in my life, i.e., Spanish toro, which is a cut of tuna. Andy also uses caviar to accentuate the sushi rolls and sashimi.”

Curious customer D.J. Valente of Rutland (right) decides to purchase an e-cig starter kit at the Vermont Vapor store at Castleton Corners. Owners Linda Barker and son Adam Tredwell look on.

Vaping From page 1 e-liquid production space on Route 4 in Rutland Town, the company is back on track.

Despite a local rumor, fire investigators found that the blaze started in an adjoining business; it had absolutely no connection to Vermont Vapor ’s operation.

Vermont Vapor ’s cozy retail shop at Castleton Corners has attracted e-cig fans from as far away as Montreal and Boston. In addition to the shop, a new laboratory and production facility will “rise from the ashes” adjacent to the outlet in mid June.

Tredwell is committed to satisfying the needs of hardcore smokers who are looking for a clean favorful alternative to puffing on traditional cigarettes, cigars and pipes.

The Vermont Vapor-brand e-cig device itself is an odd blend of Chinese technology (Asians hold the patent on the electronic device) and high-quality Vermont USA e-liquid made by Tredwell. He oversees the production of his multi-flavored e-liquid product line which is made in a clean, qualitycontrolled environment. As a result, the Vermont Vapor e-cig is a truly smokeless, odorless device that is evocative of smoking—yet it is not smoking in the traditional sense.

Yes, a user puffs on an e-cig, but the misty material expelled isn’t smoke—it’s nearly 100 percent water vapor. (The e-cig uses a mini, battery-powered atomizer, or vaporizer, to turn pure water, food-grade glycerin, and natural flavoring into a pseudo-smoking experience.)

Thus, puffing on a Vermont Vapor e-cig is called “vaping”—short for vapor inhaling.

And for many e-cig users who have failed to quit smoking tobacco through the use of foul-tasting nicotine chewing gum, cumbersome patches, even cold turkey fits, Vermont Vapor is a real lifesaver—literally.

“What you're seeing is just the vapor—no smoke. There is nothing that is burned. It's the e-liquid in the cartridge which is heated by the atomizer when you draw on the e-cig.

There is usually no odor at all except maybe from the flavors, which are never overpowering or objectionable,” Tredwell claims on the company website.

Because he and his mother so passionately believe in the benefits of the e-cig as an alternative to smoking, Tredwell and Barker chose to begin selling them and make their own quality-controlled liquid product line. Vaping is clearly a viable alternative for

GOLD RUSH DAYS!—Members of the Rutland Rock and Mineral Club were instrumental in urging the state of Vermont to formally recognize the historic Vermont Gold Rush of the 1800s. A new historical marker stands at the entrance to Camp Plymouth State Park along Route 100, one-half mile from the site of the ruins of the state’s largest gold mine, the Rooks Mine, located along Buffalo Brook.

The mine may have closed in the 1880s but many modern gold panners still search the brook for valuable nuggets.

smokers.

While it’s not cheap to switch from mainstream cigarettes to e-cigs (try around $70 for a starter kit that includes two long-lasting e-cigs, batteries, cartridges, A.C. battery charger, and starting liquid), the long-term costs of vaping are amazing compared to the hundreds of dollars spent monthly by traditional smokers — a cost that amounts to about $5 a week for heavy users. A single bottle of Vermont Vapor flavored vaping eliquid will last the user many, many weeks depending on frequency.

The e- cigarette is a high-tech alternative to smoking but it is not a smoking cessation device, Tredwell said.

“Some people have quit smoking using the electronic cigarette but we make no such claims as to effectiveness for that purpose and e-cigs are not sold for that purpose,” he said.

“At Vermont Vapor, all the liquid we sell is mixed entirely by us; we start with 100 percent pure food grade glycerine and add distilled water, nicotine (if you want it), and citric acid to balance the pH,” he said. “To this base we add only food grade flavorings—well, with the exception of our tobacco flavoring for some of the liquids we sell.

Any of our tobacco flavors we make ourselves from ground tobacco leaves.”

So, how safe are Vermont Vapor ’s e-cigarette products?

Spartans are NAC champs!

By Fred Pockette The Castleton State College Spartan’s men’s lacrosse team has captured their first ever North Atlantic Conference Championship and head for their first ever NCAA Division III National Championship.

The Spartans earned the trip by jumping out to a 6-2 early lead, and holding on to defeat the top seeded Mount Ida Mustangs 11-5 in the Conference Championship last Saturday in Newton, Mass.

The Spartans utilized better shot accuracy, putting 21 of their 38 shots, while Mount Ida could only place 11 of their 33 shots inside the posts. Castleton’s net minder David DeGhetto outplayed his counterpart to secure the conference title for the Spartans.

Deghetto stooped six of the 11 shots fired at him, while Mount Ida’s goalie James McAllister allowed 11 of the 21 shots blasted at him to get by into the net.

Michael Martinez and Nohea King each netted the hat trick to lead the Crusader ’s offense, while Sam Bailey contributed several goals and an assist to the huge win. Jake Rick and Craig McDerment each added a goal and an assist while Daniel Lizzi had a single goal to round out Castleton’s scoring. Mount Ida, who wind up their season at 12-8 and 91 in NAC, got single goals from Nick Yacuzzi, Derek Broughton, Christopher Prophete, Brandon Keith and Paul Battapaglia. The loss was Mount Ida’s only conference loss this year. Castleton heads to the national tournament with a 14-5 overall record. They wind up their 2010 conference play at 9-1. Congratulations Crusaders and good luck on your quest for a national championship.

Minutemen Hold Off Wasps 7-4 Last Friday Mill River held a 7-1 lead over Woodstock go-

CSC’s men’s lacrosse Spartans are this year’s NCAA NAC Division III champions. ing into the Wasps final at bat. But with one out Woodstock’s offense scored three more runs, while using up just one more out to do it. Then with tow runners on and two out in a 7-4 game Woodstock’s Connor Blair came to the plate. Blair had touched Mill River hurler Joey Beland for two hits already, but not this time. Beland got Blair to ground out to first to end the come back, and secure the 7-4 Mill River win.

Zach Fuller and Tyler Wood had a pair of hits to pace the Minutemen’s offense attack. Wood also scored a run and stole two bases for the victors. Beland went the distance to pick up the complete game win for the Minutemen.

Brian Martin had three hits, drove in a run and scored once to lead Woodstock in the losing effort. Blair and Justin Pierce banged out a pair of hits as well, with one of Pierce’s being a double. Jon Ferrero took the complete game loss for Woodstock, who fell to 3-4 on the year with the loss. Mill River improved to 7-4 with the win.

Terriers hold off Otter Valley

By Joe Milliken The Bellows Falls Union High School baseball team needed a win and got one, with a recent, 11-hit performance propelling the Terriers to a 6-5 win over Otter Valley in Westminster.

Dyllon Nardino led the Terrier offense with three hits including an RBI-double, while Ben Hewitt pitched in with two hits. Seven different Bellows Falls players registered hits in the win, which put the Terriers at 5-9 on the season.

Terrier senior Ben Hewitt got the start on the mound, with sophomore Jeremy Kilburn picking up the win in relief.

Tyler Quenneville also had two hits for Otters including 2 doubles.

Can you say, ‘Perfect season’?

By Joe Milliken There aren’t too many student-athletes, on any level, who can claim being part of a team that goes undefeated, but the eighth grade hoopsters from the BellowsFalls Middle School (BFMS) can now proudly stake this claim.

Coached by BFMS teacher Josh Ferenc, this team of talented young basketball players, who in most cases, have been playing sports together since first grade, recently pulled off the feat by posting an impressive, unblemished record of 12-0, on their way to the division championship.

Along the way, BFMS beat Springfield twice, Chester twice, Brattleboro twice, Twin Valley twice, Modanock twice and Charlestown twice.

They also went undefeated in two holiday tournaments in Charlestown and Kurn Hattin.

Above, the undefeated, Bellows Falls Middle School eighth grade boys’ basketball team. Top row, coach Josh Ferenc, Tim Jones, Kyle O'Rourke, Dale Squires, Seamus Tully, Tucker Westney, Ian McKeen, Jamie Moore.

Minutemen thrash Presidents

By Frederick Pockette Jamie MacDonald and Tyler Wood rapped out four hits apiece last Saturday, in Ludlow, leading their Mill River Minutemen to an easy 16-2 win over the hometown Black River Presidents, in boys high school baseball action. One of MacDonald’s hits was a three run homer. Kippy Turco paced the hometown Presidents offense. Tuco blasted a double and had two singles to go with it, while Dave Creaser contributed two hits to the losing cause.

Mill River improved to 11-4 with the win, while the Presidents fell to 5-9 on the year.

Meanwhile in Chester the visiting West Rutland Golden Horde were being absolutely annihilated in a double header by the Green Mountain Chieftans. In the opener Chris Albert paced the Chieftan’s offensive attack with a homerun and a single, while his teammate Mitchell O'Neil added another 2 hits to the one-sided win. Mike Cavacas picked up the complete game win. He worked all seven innings, allowing just one run on three hits while striking out seven. Green Mountain won easily 14-1.

As easily as they won the opener, the nightcap was even a larger massacre. The Chieftans defeated the visiting Horde 283, wrapping it up in just 5 innings due to the mercy rule. Dom Strohmeyer did it all for Green Mountain in this one. At the plate he haf four hits in five appearances and drove in two.

Justin Veysey helped him out offensively by contributing three hits and scored four runs. Strohmeyer was also the winning pitcher. He threw all 5 innings, giving up 3 runs on five hits, while striking out seven. Grren Mountain outscored their guests 42-4 over the two games and improved to 12-2 with the sweep In Rutland last Friday night the Brattleboro Colonels slipped past the Rutland Raiders 2-1 in the most exciting game of the weekend. The two teams battled to a scoreless tie until the top of the sixth inning. In the sixth inning Rutland starter Justin Godzik walked the Colonels leadoff hitter Mark LaValley. One out later Brattleboro’s pitcher Devin Rhodes singled to right, advancing LaValley to third. Then Rob Meyer laid down a perfect squeeze bunt that scored LaValley putting the Colonels on tp 1-0. Then with one out and runners on first and second Derek Sargent drilled a base hit that scored Rhodes from scored Rhodes from second, making it 2-0 Brattleboro.

Going into their final at bat it looked like that is how the game would end. Up to that point Rhodes had completely dominated the Raider hitters, surrendering just one hit through the first six innings. But Rutland found some offensive focus and made it interesting in the seventh. Sam Major led the inning off with a base hit. Rhodes retired the next two Raiders, but with two outs and one on Greg Roy hit a slippery single, putting two on.. Then Joe Garrow single up the middle, scoring Major while Roy advanced to second carrying the tying run. That brought up Mike Triller who responded well to the pressure by wrapping the ball hard back up the Middle. But unfortunately for the hometown Raiders Brattleboro second baseman Tommy Heydinger got to the grounder, gloved it and flipped it to PelzWalsh at second base to end the game. It was the second time in two weeks Bt\rattleboro had defeated Rutland 2-1.

Rhodes picked up the complete game win, while Godzik suffered the loss for he Raiders. Rhodes allowed just the one run on three hits, while Godzik gave up just two runs on eight hits.

Rutland fell to 7-8 with the loss. Meanwhile the win was a huge one for the visiting Colonels. Not only did they improve to 122 on the season, but with the win they assured themselves of at least a share of the MVL A Division Regular Season Championship.

They were playing Poultney last Friday too. Bobby Riley and Jake Crowther stroked three hits each to lead their Leland And Gray Rebels to a 10-5 win over the hometown Poultney Blue Devils. Chris Barnum, the winning pitcher, helped his own cause by ripping out a couple of singles himself. Chris Barnum.

Scott Williams went 2 for 3 with a ground-rule double and two RBI to lead Poultney‘s offense. Chris Shepardson contributed by driving in a pair of runs for the Devils, who fell to 6-8 with the loss.

Otters Thrash Dogs 12-3: Capture MVL B-Division Championship In high school softball action last Saturday in Brandon Michaela Harrington blasted a two-run homer and drove in three runs to pace her Otter Valley Otters to 12-3 win over the visiting Burr and Burton Bulldogs. Kristy Pinkham had a solid offensive day for the Otters as well, collecting two hits, driving in run and crossing the plate four times. Senior Amanda Sanders contributed two hits and an RBI to the nine run win.

Kaylee Pinson and Malory Ketcham combined on a four-hitter with 10 strikeouts to take care of the work on the hill. Ketchum picked up the win with her work over the final four frames.

Alicia Trombley ripped a pair of doubles for the visiting Bulldogs to be their leading hitter on the day.

Not only did the Otters improve to 10-4 with the win, but they also clinched the MVL B-Division Championship. Last years division II State Champions, the Otters stand a good chance of repeating. With just a pair of games left they currently stand as the second seed in Division II. Raiders Crush Otters 16-3 David Kraus scored four goals to lead the Rutland Raiders to an easy 16-3 win over the Otter Valley Otters last Friday in boy’s high school lacrosse action. Kevin Ricketts and Matt Mazariello each had a hat trick and Tony Johnson contributed another two goals to the onslaught. In a game dominated by Rutland their goalie David Morgan wasn’t challenged much, but he did stop 8 shots to claim the win. The Raiders improved to 12-3 with the win.

Matt Miller, Andrew Piper and Peter Bautista scored single goals for the Otters. But if it wasn’t for the efforts of Otter goalie Zach Jepson the outcome could have been much worse. Miller turned in a stellar performance making an incredible 35 saves.
