Vermont State Fair tops fair ‘must sees’

Good neighbors: Now more than ever

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com Audrey Bridge was spending a busy day last Tuesday coordinating volunteers while answering thrift shop customer questions at Black River Good Neighbors Services in downtown Ludlow.

She and her crew are gearing up for a big move to the tank garage at the Ludlow armory site—now under renovation. Relocating will enable BRGNS to provide more food for persons in need while expanding its nifty thrift shop.

“It’s a challenge,” Bridge said, “as you can see we’re tight for space here. But that will change with our new location. We’ll be gaining 1,000 square feet in the new locale.”

Bridge oversees the nonprofit agency that provides confidential, temporary food, clothing and financial assistance to those in need to help them return to self-sufficiency. The agency serves Ludlow, Cavendish, Proctorsville, Mt. Holly and Plymouth.

Originally housed in the Ludlow United Church, BRGNS moved to its current location when the building was donated to the agency by Neil Hammond in 1995.

“But we’ve outgrown this space in 15 years,” she said.

According to Bridge, the food shop and thrift shop are ...Turn to page 9 for more

I am a friendly Beagle who should be able to fit into a variety of families with kids 10 and over. I have no known history with other animals but I am peacefully interested in other animals here at the shelter so living with 4-legged siblings shouldn’t be a problem. I am a Beagle so a fenced in yard will really help me get the exercise I need or lots and lots of long leash walks.

aising funds for the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) can be fun and healthy. Friends of RCHS are hosting a "5K Walk for the Animals" on Sunday, Aug. 22, at the Northeast Primary School, 117 Temple St. in Rutland, just off Woodstock Avenue. Sign in begins at noon.

Walk with or without a dog and join the fun! All well mannered dogs are welcome but must be on leashes. There is no registration fee but if you'd like to help raise funds for the homeless animals in Rutland County please consider getting people or businesses to sponsor your walk.

Sponsor sheets are available at the RCHS shelter or at www.rchsvt.org. The more walkers the better so consider getting a group of family, friends and co-workers to join you. Prizes will be awarded to those walkers who raise the most money. Raffle prizes and vendors, too.

Man searches for Vermont ‘monsters’

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Note: This is part two of an occasional series about Bigfoot and other mysteries of Vermont and the North Country.

For amateur Vermont sleuth Dennis Hall, the North Country abounds in unexplained natural phenomena. Hall is known nationally for his dedicated research of Lake Champlain’s famous aquatic denizen, Champ the lake monster. However, recently, he has expanded his explorations into searching for evidence of Bigfoot or Sasquatch— both living and dead—on the Vermont side of the big lake.

This amateur Indiana Jones, a native Vermonter, has dedicated several decades in exploring both shore and water of Lake Champlain in search of history and prehistory.

“I have always been fascinated by

our local history and prehistory,” Hall said. “I believe our region has very ancient roots and is the cradle of American civilization.”

Over the years, Hall has searched the lake basin for the remains of a failed 17th-century Dutch fortified outpost located near the mouth of the Otter Creek, uncovered the remains of an ancient native elm wood dugout, researched the stillborn 18th-century plans of Vermont pioneers to build an expansive, geometrical capital city spanning Button Bay to Vergennes, and discovered the original Iroquois names for Otter Creek (Makawyck) and Dead Creek (Pagkagan)—native names lost for generations until Hall rediscovered them jotted on the parchment of an antique New York land grant.

Now Hall’s new inspiration is to devote more time to Bigfoot or Sasquatch research. It started in 2009 when he uncovered an unusual curved stone in a

Vermont “monster hunter” Dennis Hall holds a curved stone he believes is the fossilized first rib bone of an extinct giant ape known as Gigantopithecus. He found the possible fossil in a ravine near the Otter Creek in Ferrisburgh.

ravine about one mile from the Otter Creek Falls in Vergennes.

“I found this curved stone,” he said carefully holding a buff colored stone in his right hand, “and I immediately thought it must be a prehistoric tool or maybe even a fossilized bone. I am no expert about bones, so I contacted Don Bicknell, M.D., in Vergennes. I had zero expectations about what it was; it just looked interesting enough to be something.”

Hall showed the stone to Bicknell.

He was surprised when the medical doctor provided him with an off-thecuff “diagnosis”.

“Well, he told me that it looked like a first rib bone, but that it was too big to be from a human. He couldn’t give me more details. But it was humanlike.

So, that’s what makes me think it came from a large primate—an ape.”

According to Hall, the first rib is the most curved and shortest of all the ribs in primates. The bone is somewhat broad and flat and twisted. Hall’s stone looks like the oversized first rib of a human.

With scant information to go on, Hall surmised the only possible primate that could have possessed such a robust first rib was the extinct genus of ape known as Gigantopithecus.

This mysterious vegetarian giant ape was adapted to temperate and colder environments—much like today’s North County region—between 1 million and 100,000 years ago. To date, remains of the creature have been found only in Asia. Scientists think either climate change or ancient human hunters killed off the last of these apes.

“Gigantopithecus is frequently identified with living Bigfoots,” Hall said.

“But now I believe I have fossil evidence that proves the creature lived here in Vermont.”

According to the scientific record, Gigantopithecus has caused controversy since the 1930s. It was considered to be an ancestor of humans, at least based on fossil molars found in northern

A window on summer

T

his is it. This is the time before it’s too late to do summer stuff—right now! Boom—that was it, that was the time—there—it just passed, it’s officially too late to do summer stuff. But if you’re clever and quick acting, you still have a small, small window to...

Go to Thunder Road. It’s a great paved oval stock car racetrack, boasting a fantastically run program, with dedicated drivers, crew members - and the families of, set within a natural scenic bowl-like location.

There are special event races through early October, but the summer season of Thursday night races is just about done. So hurry.

And by the way, all you rich, snooty liberals and conservatives: the working class folks you’re going to gawk at would marvel at you, too, if you stood out.

Hike a mountain, fast. Sure, you may have hiked a mountain this summer, but you may not have hiked it fast. You should, now, because the mountain will beat you down; you’ll realize how out of good health you are. Then you’ll have an entire year to get in shape for your next summer’s “Summer of Hikes”.

You think spring is the best time to clean your crib? It’s not.

Late summer nights are. Late summer days kayaking, or canoeing, hiking or playing ball will boost your energy so that you can carry it well through the evening and into the early morning.

Trust me. Do something active all day, in the Sun—near the water—then come home and see if I ain’t right. You’ll want to keep on going. Winter housework? Nah. Spring-cleaning? Nah. Those seasons, especially in good ol’ Vermont, can kick your butt.

Clean the heck out of your house from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Summer’s when to get things done.

Because you’ve but a closing window on summer stuff to do, the above suggestions are all I’ll offer you. I don’t have time to write more cause I’m trying to fill my closing window with summer stuff. Oh, I will add that you should visit Montgomery, Vt. Montgomery is near Richford. Richford is on the border, so Montgomery is up there. Routes 118, 58 and 242 peg it. Like all good Vermont towns, Montgomery has a sister town, Montgomery Center. So with your closing window, add Montgomery to the list.

I could tell you about each Montgomery, but then there’d be no reason to visit. I will say that while sitting on the corner for 20 minutes I was greeted by local elementary school kids on bikes, men on big tractors, a dude on a scooter, walkers, bikers, a Baptist minister, and a stray dog. (I’d bet they were all related, too.)

When I first pulled into town I walked to a parked car whose driver was an 80-year-old gentleman. I asked him if he could tell me where I could find a covered bridge.

“There’s supposed to be eight of them in this town,” he said.

So, when you find a town where the locals are completely unimpressed by what many towns would brag about, you know you’ve found a solid place.

Well, maybe the old gentleman didn’t brag cause if he was to brag about all the classic Vermonty things Montgomery has to offer, he’d a never made it to bed that night.

Yup, add Montgomery and Montgomery Center to your remaining window of summer; you’ll no doubt be happy you did, especially if you eat there.

I had the best turkey club sandwich I’ve had in my life a joint in one of the two Montgomerys. I’m not saying which Montgomery or at what restaurant ‘cause that would take the fun out of it for you. And I’m all about you having fun.

Tapestry of death, part 2 L

ast week, we looked at prehistory’s five great extinction events and suggested that extraterrestrial sources may be the binding threads in our planet’s violent tapestry of death. We briefly outlined extinction events 1 through 4. This week, we conclude with extinctions 4 and 5. Are there any cosmic smoking guns here?

•Extinction 4—The Triassic–Jurassic extinction event occurred 205 million years ago. At the T-J boundary, nearly 48 percent of all zoological and botanical genera—terrestrial and marine life—went extinct.

Most archosaurs—except the lucky dinosaurs— and most therapsids, which include mammals and their immediate evolutionary ancestors, died out. Even many large amphibians became extinct. The result opened up the environment to the surviving dinosaurs. (Of course, the dinosaurs own turn to face the Darwinian firing squad will come at extinction 5.)

Only a few large amphibians emerged from extinction 4 and managed to survive, barely, into the Cretaceous. For example, the giant, lumbering amphibian known as Koolasuchus—one of the paleo stars of the 1999 BBC-TV mini-series “Walking with Dinosaurs”—became the lone survivor of the now utterly vanished biological order Temnospondyli.

As with earlier extinctions, an extraterrestrial agent may have had a hand in the T-J megadeaths, but we’re not 100 percent certain.

Could the giant, 62-mile-wide ring-like Manicouagan Reservoir feature in central Quebec be the smoking gun?

Maybe, but it’s a big maybe.

The now highly eroded, water-filled impact basin probably was excavated by a rocky asteroid three miles in diameter. The scale of the Manicouagan impact should have produced planetwide fires and dust clouds with impact debris raining down for thousands of square miles. Yet, many researchers now believe the crater was formed 12 million years before extinction 4. Ok, if Manicougan isn’t the culprit, then why didn’t planetwide extinctions occur at the time of that impact? More geological investigations are needed.

•Extinction 5—the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event, occurred 70 to 65 million years ago and is the most famous extinction—it ushered in the death of the beloved dinosaurs.

“About 17 percent of all families, 50 percent of all genera and 75 percent of species went extinct,” according to

author Michael Benton. “It ended the reign of dinosaurs and opened the way for mammals and birds to become the dominant land vertebrates. In the seas it reduced the percentage of sessile animals to about 33 percent.”

Benton notes that the K-T extinction (“K” is from the German word Kreidezeit or Cretaceous; “T” means Tertiary) was uneven—”Some

By Lou Varricchio groups of organisms became extinct, some suffered heavy losses and some appear to have been only minimally affected.”

Most space scientists agree that the K–T extinctions were caused by a massive asteroid impact (like the Chicxulub, Mexico, impact), while many geologists believe volcanic activity—such as at the supervolcanic Deccan traps in India—is to blame. Both an impact and supervolcanic event would reduce solar energy falling to Earth and slow down photosynthesis. A few paleontologists even suggest that the extinction was far more gradual due to a drop in sea level or a cooling down of the climate.

But a cosmic agent—an asteroid or comet impact—looks more and more likely at the K-T boundary. In fact, on March 4 of this year, a panel of 41 international scientists agreed that the Chicxulub impact caused this mass extinction.

We’ll end with this warning and call-to-action by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of New York’s Hayden Planetarium: “If humans one day become extinct from a catastrophic collision, there would be no greater tragedy in the history of life in the universe. Not because we lacked the brain power to protect ourselves but because we lacked the foresight. The dominant species that replaces us in post-apocalyptic Earth just might wonder, as they gaze upon our mounted skeletons in their natural history museums, why large headed Homo sapiens fared no better than the proverbially peabrained dinosaurs.”

Appalachia’s north end S

eparated by some 850 miles are two high schools, each in the foothills of a different region of the Appalachian Mountain range.

One school is a nominally-private academy in Manchester, Vt. It accepts, on tuition (in fact depends for survival on them) the 91 percent of its student body which has transferred in from local public grade schools in the surrounding, mostly intra-county, area.

The other school is a typical public high school in Erwin, Tenn. It receives its students from the surrounding intracounty area also. Nearby hill color differentiation (one called the Green Mountains the other called the Blue Ridge) and latitudinal separation notwithstanding (7 degrees, Burr & Burton Academy at about 43 degrees N and Unicoi County HS at about 36 degrees N) the two schools aren’t much different in their student bodies—small-town teenage Americans—or their achievement levels or their racial make-up. Where they differ, markedly, is in their governance.

One, in the county named in the English language for 18th century New Hampshire land-grantor Benning Wentworth, has just raised its tuition charges 6 percent, more than twice the less-than-3 percent statewide school budget increase. No mention in the various news accounts of student achievement or the productivity trends at BBA. Related factoids: from the 2008 National Digest of Educational Statistics, you can read that average pupil-teacher ratio in Vermont is 1-to-10.8 and annual per-pupil cost $13.5K. The other, in the county named in the Cherokee language for the nearby sometimes-called-smoky mountaintop haze, has just petitioned Tennessee state government for higher K-12 academic standards. No mention in the various news accounts of any (beyond the basic inflation rate) budget change. Related factoids: NDES Table 66 shows the TN p/t ratio at 1-to-15.7 and Table 182 shows the annual per-pupil cost at $7.7K. Like Bennington County and all of Vermont, Unicoi County, Tenn., is, at 98 percent, statistically all white for NDES purposes, which shows in Table 121 that the U.S. fourth grade average reading score is 220 overall and 230 for whites (out of 500) with Vermont at 228 (229w) and Tennessee at 216 (224w) while Utah, with the largest p/t ratio in the nation at 1to-22.1, and a resulting annual per-pupil cost of $6.7K, comes in at 221 (226w). The “proficiency” percentages by race aren’t shown, but all are well below 50 percent and at about 30% when you do your own adjustment. For example, the Vermont (w) average score is a point or two below the US(w) average, but the Vermont total at 41 percent “proficient” with a score of 228 is 9 points above the US to-

tal at 32 percent “proficient” with a score of 220.

The NDES doesn’t show 8th grade reading breakdowns for smaller schools like BBA or UHS, nor does it show breakdowns by race, but the overall State scores come in at 261 for the US, 273 for VT, 259 for TN, and a very-interesting 282 for UT. Clearly, the typical educrat small-classes-produce-better-achievement argument isn’t working too well in the “Industry” or “Beehive” State, which also posts the highest “proficiency” number at 42 percent and at the lowest annual-per-pupil cost.

At the state level, there’s another similarity: both Vermont and Tennessee have been sufficiently uncomfortable with their students’ scores on the Federal NAEP tests, which are “free”, that they’ve gone out into the publishing market to purchase and deploy and publicize the ‘results’ from, easier tests which are sold on the promise that students will show better scores: NECAP for Vermont, TCAP for Tennessee. But there the similarity ends, at least at the county level. Consider, for example, how the local governance of high school education in Bennington County has chosen a quite-different focus of attention than those similarly entrusted in Unicoi County.

If you accept the proposal that BBA is probably pretty typical of Vermont’s schools, and UHS equally so in Tennessee, then maybe you’ll accept the printed fact that they reflect an achievement difference of only 5 points out of 229 or a near-statistically-insignificant 2 percent. With such similarity at the student level, whence cometh the vast difference in governance focus? That the BBA Trustees are pursuing more money, while the UHS Commissioners are pursuing more achievement, is obvious; but the underlying why isn’t.

It’s tempting to argue that east-of-the-Appalachians Vermont is in general more gentrified by suburbanite in-migration than west-of-the-Appalachians Tennessee; and that Bennington County in Vermont is even more so, with Unicoi County even less so, and then drawing the usual Jeffersonian conclusions therefrom. Or maybe there’s another reason. I report, you opine.

Austere Luxury: Two artists find slate and bring it home GRANVILLE — an exhibit of slate furniture will open at the Slate Valley Museum in Granville, NY, Saturday, Aug. 7 and run through Oct. 23. Artists Olga Julinska and Felix Kniazev of Art Department will present their unique home creations and relate their journey of discovery. Visitors will be delighted with the poetic simplicity of line and merging organics of their furniture designs. Kniazev describes the exhibit as “an interior space where local slate, hardwood, powder coated steel and handmade ceramics are all performing a sort of symphony together. This carefully conceived and masterfully executed collection of furniture and decorative pieces blurs the line between art and functionality, inspiring viewers to see exceptional beauty in common native materials.”

The artists, Felix and Olga, both originally from Russia, met and married in New York City. They have been working together for over a decade. Their summer studio, located in Wells, Vermont, commands a majestic view of the slate valley which produces the most vibrant and varied colored slate of any region in the world.

The exhibit opening will begin at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 7 and features an informal reception with Olga Julinska and Felix Kniazev. The artists will present a gallery talk prior to the exhibit unveiling.

The Slate Valley Museum is located at 17 Water Street in Granville, New York. Admission is $5 per person and free to museum members. For further information, call Slate Valley Museum (518) 642-1417.

Stone animals, welded steel sculpture workshops slated WEST RUTLAND — Explore the possibilities of welded steel sculpture or learn to carve animals in stone the week of Aug. 9-13, 2010. Two upcoming workshops at the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center explore traditional and unique methods for working with these materials.

“Carve Animals in Stone” with Bill Nutt will be focused on the techniques used to carve representational sculpture.

The entire process from subject and stone selection to final surface finishes will be covered. Instruction will be given on various approaches such as direct stone carving and the use of templates. The where, when and how of using hand and power tools will be discussed and demonstrated. The course is open to students of all abilities. Ideally participants will bring numerous photographs of their subject matter. Advanced students should feel free to bring a maquette or even partially finished pieces.

In this “Steel Sculpture” with Wendy Klemperer participants will learn the fundamentals of gas, arc, and MIG welding, oxy-fuel cutting, bending, and forging, and surface treatments of steel. Participants will acquire a working technique of welding that can immediately be applied to the creation of art. Additionally, an ongoing discussion of the history of sculpture and the origins of welded sculpture will inform the class and serve as a point of departure. The class will take advantage of the environment the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center offers - its large resource of scrap steel, and the open-air studio to work freely in various sizes.

While experimentation and collaboration will be encouraged, the objective of the five-day course is to enable the participant to confidently execute basic welding techniques to construct sculptural objects.

To register, or for more information, please contact the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center at 802-438-2097 or info@carvingstudio.org.

COUNTRY STORE — Marji Graf, executive director of the Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce, welcomes new owners of the Ludlow Country Store, also home of Squeels on Wheels BBQ. Brigitte Buskey, owners Cindy Dilworth and Angelo 'Tump' Chiari, and Kevin Foley help with the ribbon cutting.

Police rescue woman from burning auto The Vermont State Police responded to a single vehicle crash on Corn Hill Road in Pittsford recently. According to the caller, the involved vehicle was on fire, and potentially had its occupant still inside.

Upon arrival, two troopers observed the vehicle in a field, fully engulfed in flames.

After hearing vehicle occupant Samantha Couture call out for help, the troopers located her on the ground, in

close proximity to the driver's side of the vehicle.

Troopers were able to drag her— while going in and out of consciousness—over a barbed wire fence to safety while the involved vehicle exploded multiple times.

Couture was subsequently transported to the Rutland Regional Medical Center by personnel from the Regional Ambulance Service where she was admitted for treatment for multi-

ple facial fractures, burns to both legs, lacerations on hands and face Troopers were also treated at the Rutland Regional Medical center for injuries sustained during their response including, but not limited to, smoke inhalation and lacerations.

The Pittsford Fire Department also responded to the scene and extinguished the fire. The crash is currently under investigation.

Rutland man in custody after incident of road rage Bobbie Demgard, 26, of Rutland City, was taken into custody in the Town of Chittenden, Vermont for the offense of False Information to Law Enforcement, Criminal Driving License Suspended, and Possession of Stolen Property.

Investigation revealed that Demgard provided a false name to the Vermont State Police after a “road rage” type motor vehicle crash in Rutland Town. During this incident, Demgard was driving with a suspended license. During this incident Demgard crashed into a pickup truck after a traffic dispute with another motorist near the Diamond Run Mall.

Demgard was stopped for a traffic violation in Chitten-

den. During this traffic stop Demgard again provided a false name to the Vermont State Police. During this incident, Demgard was again driving with a suspended license. Further investigation revealed that Demgard was in possession of several stolen cellular telephones and electronics taken from vehicle break-ins in the Rutland area.

Demgard was placed at the Marble Valley Correctional Center on three counts of False Information to Law Enforcement; two counts of driving with a Criminally Suspended License, and one count of Possession of Stolen Property

“Over 30 Years of Experience”

Landscaping & Woodbury’s Garden Center

Vermonter Dennis Hall believes “Champ” is a rare survivor of extinction—perhaps an ancient sea reptile similar to Rhomaleosaurus pictured here, in fossil form, on display at the British Natural History Museum.

Hall

Champ’s mysterious history

From page 3 China. But now most paleoanthropologists place the creature in the subfamily Ponginae, a relative of the orangutan.

If Hall’s curved stone proves to be the rib bone of a Gigantopithecus, then the find would be a scientific first—the first skeletal remains of the extinct ape found other than jawbones and teeth. (Amazingly, the entire ape has been reconstructed based only on its teeth and jaw.)

“Last summer,” Hall said, “I met with several Virginia-based researchers who were visiting Lake Champlain to listen to acoustical recordings I made of Champ. I then took the opportunity to show them the fossil since I knew they were also conducting Bigfoot research. They were astounded by handling the stone.”

Hall said the researchers then asked if they could borrow the stone for detailed analysis. He declined their request.

“I hesitate about letting the fossil out of my sight. That’s because I’ve learned my lesson the hard way. I loaned some valuable Vermont artifacts I found to other researchers and they were never returned to me.”

Hall said he plans to return to the unidentified ravine in Ferrisburgh and search the outwash for more “skeletal” remains— if they exist.

While he has yet to find evidence of a living Sasquatch in the Vermont woods, Hall is open to the idea that it probably exists.

More importantly, Hall now believes that the stone he found along Otter Creek is tantalizing evidence that—at the very least—prehistoric Vermont was home to Gigantopithecus.

Vermont monster hunter Dennis Hall has searched for Lake Champlain’s famous monster for years. In addition to his recent Bigfoot-related fossil find, Hall has been collecting evidence of Champ’s existence since the 1980s.

Here’s a brief history of Champ sightings in the big lake according to Hall: •The Iroquois and the Abenaki have legends about a creature called Tatoskok.

•The first European account of the creature was provided by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1609; he observed the serpantlike creature fighting an Indian warrior along the shore.

Some historians discount the explorer’s sighting as a later fabrication.

•On July 24, 1819, local newspapers reported a serpent on Lake Champlain. A sailboat crew headed by a "Capt. Crum" observed a giant snakelike monster.

•In 1883, Nathan H. Mooney saw a “…gigantic water serpent about 50 yards away” from the shore in Addison, Vt. He was close enough to see “round white spots inside its mouth.” He described Champ as being apprximately 30 feet long.

•In the 1800s, circus promoter P. T. Barnum offered a reward of $50,000 for Champ’s body for an exhibit about monsters.

•In 1977, Sandra Mansi released her Champ photograph that shows a plesiosaur-like creature in the lake. Author Joseph W. Zarzynski helped make the image an international sensation.

The Smithsonian Institution reported any creature or animal living in Lake Champlain.

CELEBRATING

60 YEARS!

Area’s Largest Selection of Ice Cream Dairy Treats

Jamaica State Park may be the oldest campground in Vermont—literally. It’s a campground that has been hosting Vermonters for more than 6,000 years.

While digging test pits for a new waste water system in the state park last month, workers accidentally dredged up 70-80 ancient artifacts near the park’s popular Salmon Hole site.

After a state archeologist examined the stone tools, work on the waste water project was halted. A full blown archaeological dig is now underway at the park.

“The University of Vermont Consulting Archaeology Program is excavating portions of a Native American campsite on weekdays through Aug. 20,” according to Rochelle Skinner, parks manager. “This work represents the first systematic excavation of this well know, but poorly understood site, and is being carried out in advance of much needed park facility upgrades.”

Jamaica State Park, comprising 772 acres, was first opened to the public in 1969. Pre-park visitors to the site reported finding artifacts over the years, but nothing as significant as last month’s discovery was ever made public.

Similar paleo-Indian artifacts were found in Rutland Town near Post Road earlier this summer, across from Thomas Dairy. The 16 arrowheads unearthed were dated between 7,000 and 5,000 B.C. and probably aren’t as old as the state park artifacts. The Rutland County artifacts were uncovered during a routine Vermont Division for Historic Preservation dig in preparation for a future development site.

“Beneath Jamaica State Park lie the remains of numerous ancient Native American camp sites dating back at least 6,000 years,” said Skinner.

Skinner said the public is encouraged to visit the dig while it is underway, ask questions, help wash newly discovered artifacts and learn about the park's Native American history.

“But we also provide rent, heat and other assistance for those who meet our guidelines,” she added.

In these difficult economic times, more and more Vermonters are meeting those guidelines, unfortunately.

Bridge said members of the board of directors voted to hold its first fundraising dinner at Bella Luna on Saturday, Oct. 23.

Ticket prices, including a full buffet dinner, will be $50 per person. A silent auction offering many exciting items to bid on will be held throughout the evening.

BRGNS Board President Jim Fuller said, “As a 501-c3 non-profit organization, which

OUTLOOK - 9

takes no government funding, we need to explore new ways to raise money. Money raised will go to cover the ever increasing demands for food, rent, and utility assistance which we provide to our neighbors in need. It will also help with our Capital Campaign for moving into the armory tank barn.”

Look for more details in the Outlook on where tickets for the dinner can be purchased and on silent auction items.

Bridge asked Outlook readers to “please be sure to save the date, Oct. 23, and spread the word. t really will be a special event that will help so many neighbors.”
