Lake Elmore S.P. boasts new lodge

New taxes take effect in Vt on July 1

State park reopens

By Rochelle Skinner

newmarketpress@denpubs.com ELMORE — If you happened to find yourself along the shor es of Lake Elmore back in 1936, you likely would have witnessed a crew of boys from the Civilian Conservation Corps hand-sawing local wood and sorting away at native stone as they built the original beach house—more like a forest lodge—at the then newly cr eated Elmor e State Park in the Town of Elmore.

Seventy-five years later, with only a few interior changes since the CCC first built it, that original beach house has been completely restored to its former glory , with the historic feel preserved and modern featur es added to accommodate today’s visitors.

The new Emor e beach house lodge opened last week. Local r esidents and state of ficials wer e on hand to celebrate the dedication of the house to the next seventy-five years of enjoyment and recreation for all Vermonters and their visitors.

The beach house has a community room that can be r ented for meetings and functions and can provide tables and chairs for up to 50 people. At certain times of the year , the entire building can be rented for group functions. Soon WiFi connection will be available throughout the building.

The park boasts a new café seating ar ea and r evamped concession stand. V isitors will also be able to enjoy fr esh food fr om the Elmor e store and br ead fr om Elmore Mountain Bread.

The new tables, stools and benches wer e hand crafted in Alburgh f rom the wood of a lar ge, old white pine tree that needed to be cut down at Big Deer State Park in See LODGE page 7

RUTLAND — Following an extensive family selection pr ocess, Habitat for Humanity’s board of dir ectors has selected Michelle and Randy Lewis of Rutland to live in the first home it will build on Jennifer Lane.

Randy is employed by Mettowee Mill Nursery in Dorset, and Michelle works at the Northshire Da y School in Manches ter. They have a six-year-old son, Aiden, and are expecting a baby daughter in July. Habitat provides an opportunity for a hand up, not a hand out.

Michelle and Randy will contribute 500 hours of sweat equity , working side by side with volunteers, family and friends, to build their home. Upon completion, they will assume an interest-free mortgage. Mortgage payments will enable Habitat to help more families.

Habitat is now planning infrastructure work for the r oad and land, r equired befor e home construction can begin.

Board members ar e working har d to secur e financial donations and contributions of building materials and services.

BAHfH, while it is an affiliate of Habitat International, is locally funded. V ermont af filiates have built over 135 homes and Habitat International has built over 400,000 homes, housing 2 million people in over 90 countries.

U.S. Rep. Peter W elch (DVermont) last week announced bipartisan House legislation that will regulate the rapidly changing technology.

Welch announced the Geolocation, Privacy and Security (GPS) Act (H.R. 2168), which he wrote with Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah).

There a re n o c lear g uidelines on the use of electronically obtained location data,

also known as geolocation information.

As a r esult, ther e ar e no clear federal r egulations for how this data can be used, accessed or sold by law enforcement, commer cial entities or private citizens.

The GPS Act cr eates a rigid legal framework when and how g eolocation information can be accessed and used.

“Consumers greatly bene-

fit fr om a multitude of new technologies and devices, but ther e is also a downside,” Welch said. “Abuse of this technology can lead to an invasion of privacy and civil liberties. Our bill pr ovides a clean legal framework on when and how this technology can be used. It provides much-needed clarity to consumers, law enforcement and commer cial providers.”

newmarketpress@denpubs.com Editor’s note: This is part of an occasional summer series focused on budget-minded day trips for our Vermont readers.

MT. WASHINGTON, N.H. — Budget-minded V ermont travelers don’t have far to drive to experience the thrill of reaching the top of New England. The Mount W ashington Cog Railway, the world's first mountain cog railway in the world, is 142 years old this summer . You can’t get much higher than Mt. W ashington—the peak is the tallest mountain east of Colorado and north of Mt. Mitchell in North Car olina.

“The railway ascends the mountain beginning at an elevation of approximately 2,700 feet above sea level and stops at the summit of Mt. Washington at an elevation of 6,288 feet,” according to railway publicist Jayme H. Simões. “It is the second steepest rack railway in the world with an average grade of over 25 percent. Built in 1869, the railway is still in operation; it uses seven steam locomotives and one biodiesel powered locomotive. It takes appr oximately 65 minutes to ascend and 40 minutes to descend. The railway is about 3 miles long.”

As you can see, the train climbs the mountain slowly , at 2.8 mph, but it descends to the valley floor a tad faster—at 4.6 mph. If the biodiesel engine is used, it can make the trip in 30 minutes.

Simões said the idea of a railway to the sky was considered to be crazy idea during the mid 1800s.

“The steam railway was built by Sylvester Marsh who came up with the idea while climbing the mountain in 1857,” he said.

“Local tradition says the state legislatur e voted permission based on a consensus that harm resulting from operating it was no issue, since the design was attempting the impossible, but benefits were guaranteed: the $5,000 of his own money Marsh put up, and whatever else he could raise, would be spent lar gely locally , including building the Fabyan House Hotel at nearby Fabyan Station to accommodate the expected tourists,” he said.

There have been only two accidents on the railway-to-thesky since thew 1860s.

In 1929, an 1860s-era steam locomotive named Hero— which toppled off the rails during the railway’s constru ction apparently killing an operator—was found r usting amid rocks and trees in a gulch after its exact location was lost for over 50 years. Then in 1967, eight passengers wer e killed and 72 injured when Engine 3 derailed a mile below the summit. Considering the Cog has carried 5 million passengers to the summit of New England, these two incidents should be

put in perspective.

Today, 142 years after its grand opening, the railway is offering departure times at 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., just like to good old days.

“The early morning departur es allows passengers about an hour of time to check out the summit, as well as free admission to the Mount W ashington Observatory Museum,” according to Simões.

The train ride and summit observatory tour will r un on the 2:30 p.m. train July 12, Aug. 23, Sept. 13, and Oct. 11.

There are special deals on tickets for the last trains of the day most of the summer and fall.

A family of two adults and two children save $43 by purchasing a family pass and adults can save $9 per ticket.

If you’ve never been a passenger on the Cog, you should plan a special day trip to Mt. W ashington—if so, you’re in for the thrill of a lifetime.

Smoking guns: Impacts vs. volcanoes

From the Editor

I thought I saw a (very large) pussy cat

A

July 6, 2011

www.gmoutlook.com

neighbor called me recently.

Her frantic telephone report was that she had witnessed a strange animal crossing my backyard, then across another yard, and on to her property. The animal, she said, resembled an extinct mountain lion or catamount.

Did I see this animal, too, she inquired?

Did I know anything about such animals?

Well, I didn’t see last month’s mystery catamount on Halladay Road, but I believe I observed a catamount in Sudbury a few years.

The large catlike creature I saw darted across Route 73 near the Route 30 intersection at a high rate of speed—in the middle of the day and in bright sunlight.

At least I can say this animal wasn’t a bobcat—I am familiar enough with the appearance of that small wild cat to be able to I.D. it at a glance. But was my sighting of a genuine catamount? Who knows? I am not qualified to say. If wildlife experts say that catamounts are not supposed to exist here, than it must have been another four-legged speedster.

The Sudbury animal I saw was very fast. Since my sighting lasted for a mere

second or less, I can’t claim to have observed much in the way of details.

Now to the best of my knowledge, catamounts became extinct in Vermont in the year 1881. No matter, it’s fascinating how many sighting stories—like my neighbor ’s and my own—persist. And while state wildlife officials deny that these animals have returned to the Vermont landscape, many credible witnesses—such as hunters, hikers and other sober folks—continue to see them. Heck, you don’t even have to be sober to see a phantom catamount.

On Thanksgiving Day in 1881, young James Cadwell was hunting in Barnard.

He was on the trail of what was the last catamount in Vermont. Cadwell asked Alexander Crowell for help in the hunt.

Crowell eventually found the panther and shot it twice. This poor beast was stuffed and mounted; it remains on display at Vermont History Museum in Montpelier.

While Crowell’s trophy may have been the last catamount in Vermont, the animal lives on in our collective subconscious—real or imagined.

n the case of prehistory’s mass extinctions, astronomers and paleontologists have often been at odds. In 1980 Luis and Walter Alvarez, father and son physicists, found clues in the rocks that indicated an asteroid or comet impact at the end of the Cretaceous Period may have triggered the demise of the dinosaurs.

When the Alvarezt team turned up evidence of a rare metallic element called iridium at the Cretaceous-Tertiary sedimentary boundary (iridium being found in meteorites far more than in the Earth’s crust) astronomers were quick to adopt the theory. However, paleontologists weren’t too sure.

Some geology experts were still able to demonstrate a slow decline in dinosaur species rather than a rapid die off as suggested by the Alvarezs. However, more than 30 years later, the Cretaceous impact theory is almost universally accepted by science.

Yes, a few scientists still point to stubborn clues that suggest a long decline for the dinosaurs.

Now, a new debate over another mass extinction event is taking shape; astronomers and paleontologists are again on opposite sides.

This time, the debate is focused on the greatest extinction in Earth’s fossil record— an event known as the Great Permian Extinction. At the end of the Permian 250 million years ago, nearly 95 per cent of life vanished in the oceans and 70 per cent on land.

A paleontologist has suggested that an extraterrestrial impact may be the cause of the Permian extinctions.

Dr. Peter Ward of the University of Washington outlined his impact ideas relating to the Great Permian Extinction in a popular 2004 science book, titled “Gorgon”.

Ward tells the story of uncovering the fossilized remains of giant mammal-like reptiles known as gorgons in Tertiary rocks of the Karoo Desert in South Africa. The weird gorgons, and their kin, vanished at the end of the Tertiary leaving no evolutionary descendants. What caused their demise and the deaths of thousands of other species of animals and plants? The answer is slow to emerge.

Ward believes that a giant asteroid or comet impact triggered the extinctions. He

You’re also not calloused. You two blessed dogs have performed way out above and beyond the call of duty. I’d just like to say you’re amazing feet, and I’ve noticed.

You support me. You lead me. You clear the way and cushion my journey. You get stepped on. You hang off motel beds.

You are like hands, but you are feet. You are awesome.

Sitting positioned high in an office chair looking down at the two of you, bare, barely touching the ground, I’m interested by how simple and ineffectual you look, yet how intricate and efficiently designed you are. The gang down at NASA have nothing on you, feet.

I see knuckle joints, and nails. Underneath you I see one more cord-like thing spanning your arch from heel to the pad beneath the big toe.

has found some circumstantial evidence that suggests this idea, yet other fossil experts strongly disagree; they point to other clues that show a slow decline of species.

Recently, researchers at the University of Calgary announced that they had found the smoking gun of the world’s biggest extinction.

This time, it wasn’t an impact as Ward theorized. Instead, the Canadian scientists pointed to a series of massive volcanic eruptions, burning coal beds, and accelerated greenhouse gases as the reasons for the Permian deaths.

“We discovered layers of coal ash in rocks from the extinction boundary in Canada’s High Arctic that give the first direct proof to support this,” said Dr. Steve Grasby, of the University of Calgary’s Department of Geoscience and a research scientist at Natural Resources Canada. “Unlike the end of dinosaurs, 65-million years ago, where widespread belief is that the impact of a meteorite was at least the partial cause, it is unclear what caused the late Permian extinction. Our research is the first to show direct evidence that massive volcanic eruptions—the largest the world has ever witnessed— caused massive coal combustion thus supporting models for significant generation of greenhouse gases at this time.”

Grasby said the culprit volcanoes were located in what is today northern Russia near the city of Tura. The volcanic fields covered an area 2-million-square kilometers in size—larger than all of Europe.

“The ash plumes from these volcanoes travelled to regions now in Canada’s arctic where coal-ash layers where found,” he said.

“It was a really bad time on Earth. In addition to these volcanoes causing fires through coal layers, the ash it spewed was highly toxic and was released in the land and water, potentially contributing to the worst extinction event in earth history.”

The jury is still out regarding the Great Permian Extinction. So, will it be Ward’s asteroid impact theory or Grasby’s erupting volcanoes and burning coal theory?

Stay tuned.

it to the time she spends rubbin' on you.

Right now while I’m typing, my legs are up on the desk (don’t ask), left leg under, and my right foot, pinkie toe down, is resting between the left foot big toe and the toe to the left of the big toe which is actually bigger than the big toe, but doesn’t have a name so I’ll call it the pointer toe because that’s what you’d call it if you figure the big toe is the thumb of the foot. I rest my foot between my big toe and the pointer toe because it’s a perfect fit, and it feels good, but I wouldn’t be caught dead in flip-flops. Call me crazy, but I don’t want to feel rubber rubbin' between my toes. I also don’t ever in my entire life want someone to know I’m within their vicinity because they’re hearing a flip-flop, flip-flop sound.

I wonder. The three toes between the big toe and pinkie toe don’t have common names to the general public. They have names doctors know, but what the heck? Should we call that toe left and right of the big toe, that’s most often bigger than the big toe, the pointer toe? I can tell you I’ve never pointed with either of mine. I believe a time or two I’ve made my entire foot into a pointer, a sort of ballerina on point type foot, and pointed with it, and in so doing looked foolishly feminine, but I haven’t singled out the big toe next to the big toe as a pointer toe, per say.

And what to call the toe to the left on the left foot and to the right on the right foot, of the pointer toe? The footbird-giving toe? You could call it the middle toe, cause middle is how we describe the alike positioned finger on the hand, but that’s only because the middle finger has the caveat of being the bird-giving finger. If the middle finger wasn’t the bird giving finger, maybe it too, like it’s cousins the six toes between the big and pinkie toes, would be without a name.

Letters to the Editor Martin Harris off base To the editor: Unfortunately, editorial writer Martin Harris' piece on "Vermont the Education State" is an example of what happens when even a well meaning person engages in ideologically driven analysis.

Harris concludes V ermont has a dismal educational cost—benefits ratio compar ed with other states because, according to Mr. Harris, Utah spends about half as much to educate a white public school student than V ermont does and the Utah white student per haps obtains only a slightly lower educational test score than a Vermont white student.

Are we sure that we are comparing apples to apples, Mr. Harris?

His surmise would be tr ue only if nationwide minority students had homogenous educational test er sults and that money spent on white students in Utah was the same as the money spent on non-white students.

Since the report that you cite does not br eakdown educational test score by ethnicity, family income and state, or report the amounts of money spent per student by state and ethnicity—he has engaged in one of the oldest r uses in the world that we all fr om time to time ar e guilty of: starting with a conclusion, citing facts that might tend to show the conclusion supported but then failing to check one’s logic. And of course there's also the matter of race.

We of course all fr om time to time will make err ors in logic, but when it's a white person overgeneralizing about minority persons, or vice versa, you can see how some people might tend to think that there’s at least a bit of racism at work.

Dave Searles Center Rutland Editor’s note: Shame on you! Hinting that our editorial writer Martin Harris is a racist is simply not acceptable here; we’re calling you out on employing this dirty political-hack trick. We stand by Mr. Harris’ statements. Obviously his statement of fact challenges your “progressive” world view.

We recommend that you continue reading Mr. Harris; eventually you may see the light.

Nuclear nuttiness To the editor: Here is my thought about the “plan” to close Vermont Yankee and buy Seabrook electricity: nuclear power without the instate jobs and taxes? Really? What kind of policy is that?

All I hear about in the letters section of the newspaper is the “danger of nuclear power” (which given the actual stellar U.S. safety record I don’t agree with). And after our state’s energy planners and officials give the back of their hand to Vermont Yankee’s jobs and income taxes and real estate taxes, they go and buy more nuclear power? No, hypocrisy there guys?

Reminds me of something my now deceased father used to say, “do as I say, not as I do!”—which also reminds me of another saying, “not in my back yard”.

Then they go and buy nuclear power from someone else’s backyard. This is the epitome of hypocrisy.

Memo to Vermont energy policy folks: if you are going to use nuclear power to keep the lights and computers and toasters turned on, buy it in-state. That gives you the “Buy Local” cover and the added bang for the buck of economic empowerment. Instead we seem to have tossed out the proverbial baby out with the bath water.

Heidi Littlefield Fairfax Editor’s note: Vermont nuclear nuttiness abounds from utility board rooms to Golden Dome. Even our “Buy Local” governor apparently likes the idea of CVPS being purchased by a Canadian utility. State officials apparently to want to expand Vermont’s reliance on costly, imported power. Ours is not an Age of Common Sense.

Logger from page 4 Then there’s that poor bastard toe between the middle and pinkie toes, what the hell is that toe all about other than just a toe that sometimes breaks for no reason? The ring finger toe? Is that what we should call it? Maybe call it the U.T. toe, for, Unnecessary Toe, cause of the five toes, I’d wager it’s the one we could do best without.

And so feet, though brilliant, I do find you have one downfall—the three toes between the pinkie toe and big toe are nameless. Unless you count lumping them all together and calling them Little Piggies...

Market Fair debuts at Home Depot

By Marc Latzky newmarketpress@denpubs.c om RUTLAND T OWN — Market Fair is now open at Home Depot Plaza every Friday, 3-8 p.m., thr ough Oct 14. The new market opened last week.

The market combines a new farmers market and fresh local pr oduce concept with an “Art in the Park” style fair, featuring a variety of crafts, cultur e, food and music in an open air setting.

Market Fair is located on Route 4 in the Home Depot/Big Lots Plaza, on Route 4, with fr ee parking and easy access for Rutland, Mendon, Chittenden and Killington residents.

Rutland T own has been without a fresh food market since Hannafor ds moved a few years ago.

Market Fair is the solution to many needs of the er gion by pr oviding an open fresh food market, closer to outer towns, and the excitement of a r eal family afternoon/evening outing with no open alcohol being sold.

Live music and entertainment fr om local and international talent, a W ellness tent and activities for kids provide something for everyone at Market Fair.

Market Fair pr ovides the community more family ori-

ented events to bolster pr ogressive active communities and attract and sustain professional staff.

The community development team fr om New Edge Productions envisioned Market Fair in 2007, when they were on the team creating Rutland City's Friday Night Live.

Live entertainment lineup includes local and international talent such as multi-instrumentalist J. Rumney, old timey local Jake Wildwood and awar d winning singing/songwriter Scott Forr est under the big tent pr ovided by Celebration Rentals.

Market Fair has healing/wellness for pr eventative as well as emer gency care at the location. Ener gy healing, Reiki ,and massage will be of fered along with on site Yoga classes, book signings and seminars.

Food exhibitions will give visitors the opportunity to try nutritious foods.

Natural beauty pr oducts by local company V ermont Soap Organics has a full line of liquid/bar soaps and ar e sponsors of our kids activity center.

Kids will enjoy the V ermont Soap’s Sudzy Putty Play Area featuring fully organic soft soap that kids can spend some time imagining and creating their own soap sculptures to take home.

Market Fair is the fr esh food market for Rutland, Rutland T own and surrounding communities. It fills needs beyond produce; providing cultural activity , health awar eness, educa-

tion and togetherness in a family atmosphere.

LEANING TOWER — A massive lightning strike punched holes in the Howe Center Tower last week. The venerable all-brick factory chimney, built in 1870, was razed June 30-July 1 to prevent its collapse. Engineers said the landmark could not be safely saved.

It is uncertain at this time if the chimney had been adequately grounded for lightning strikes.

Rutland’s MVP: the Boss lady

By Joe Milliken

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — Rutland resident Judy Boss was recently selected as a finalist by the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation, to receive the 2011 MVP Award. Each year since 2000, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his family recognize and reward non-profit organizations and the volunteers who help them achieve their mission of service to the community.

This year $100,000 was awar ded to 16 non-pr ofit organizations for their community service and 16 individual volunteers wer e honored at a luncheon and awar d ceremony at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA. The Community MVP Awards honor individuals who exemplify leadership, dedication and a commitment to improving their communities through volunteerism.

At the ceremony Judy was recognized for her outstanding contribution of time and talent to benefit many individuals and families in our immediate community and beyond. Joshua Kraft, son of owner Bob Kraft, r ead a list of her accomplishments including spear heading the helmet liner project for active duty troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, organizing a group to make knitted stocking caps for the Wounded Heroes Watch Cap Project and coordinating a group of seniors to collect, clean, mend and refurbish dolls and stuffed animals to distribute to children in need.

Judy also raised funds to help establish a Hospice Family Room at Rutland Regional Medical Center, and has been an active member of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 50, where she organized and pr omoted the Blue Star Banner pr ogram for families with active duty sons and daughters serving in the armed forces.

Judy was the only award recipient from Vermont and was chosen as a finalist out of a field of over 100 applicants, and received a beautiful engraved crystal trophy recognizing her efforts.

The Castleton Community Seniors also received $2,500 in support of their programs and services for the community.

A video of the award ceremony can be seen on the New England Patriots website at www.patriots.com. Click on “Patriots Today” and scroll down to “Pats Honor Community MVPs.”
