newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND Ñ With Pico Mountain set to open itsÕ 75th season on Dec. 17, the Killington resort recently announced that it will contribute $20 to the United Way of Rutland County from each Pico Express Card sold on opening day. The Express Cards, which offer $29 mid-week (non-peak) tickets and $39 weekend and peak day rates, cost $39 and everyone who purchases one can ski for free on opening day. Ò WeÕ re very excited to open a day earlier than expected and offer our guests a free day of skiing, and a great deal on the Express Card, while supporting a great community cause,Ó said Tracy Taylor, Pico MountainÕ s director of operations.

According to Chuck Sharp, Director of RutlandÕ s United Way, the money generated through the Pico event will go directly towards the United WayÕ s 2010 funding goal of $560,000. The United way is a nonprofit organization that aids local families and children. Ò This partnership has been going on for several years now, thanks to the generosity of the great folks at Pico,Ó Chuck Sharp said in a recent interview. Ò Tom Horrocks is the Director of Marketing at Pico and has been a great friend of the United Way.

Joshua Stiles of Poultney makes a dream into a reality POULTNEY — Joshua Stiles, the son of Rusty and Wanda Stiles, and a junior at Poultney High School, made a dream a realit recently. As a member of the Boy Scouts of America Troop #13 Poultney/Castleton, Stiles reached the stage of his rank where required to choose a community service project/Eagle project.

As a Life Scout right now, one of the ranks before an Eagle, one must accomplish a community-based project to become an Eagle Scout.

Stiles joined the scouts at 11 years old, and at 16 plans to reach is Eagle rank before he turns 18.

“In addition to this project, I have to earn three more merit badges, one for citizenship in the nation, in the world, and personal management,” said Stiles.

“Josh was one of my prior students, and I asked him what he was going to do for this project. He was not sure, so I suggested a dynamic project, which came out phenomenal and outstanding,” said Maureen Kahill, a teacher at Poultney Elementary School. “We’ve needed dugouts for over four years, and Josh has made that dream a reality.”

Stiles along with troop members Joel and Shane Galvin, Randy Ettori, Ben Hon, and Devin Spaulding built two tremendous dugouts for the Poutlney community league that will be used by the younger children, a gift to last for years to come. His troop members earn community service awards, as well as credit for their school portfolios, but each of the other troop members must complete their own community-based project to move up to an Eagle Scout.

The dugout project began at the beginning of the summer 2010 and concluded this past weekend on Nov. 6.

Stiles would like to thank

other troop members that assisted and would like to give a sincere thanks to those who donated the essential supplies in completing such a project: Parker

Water Wells, Turunen Trucking Equipment, Williams Hardware, Loomis Paint and Wallpaper, and Citizen’s Bank where Stiles was able to run a carwash for

fundraising. Special thanks also go to Uncle Jeff Scott and David Fenton.

For further information, please contact Joshua Stiles at 802-287-2057.

Are We There Yet?

W

ith the holidays approaching, I am surprised at the number of horror stories I seem to be hearing from parents - not about Halloween since that was back in October - but about traveling with their children. Since I don’t want parents to have travel nightmares, let me provide a few trips-I mean tips - to make travel with children something that will result in pleasant dreams for all involved.

1. If your children are old enough to understand, let them know what the travel plans are: how long the journey will take, time of arrival, how many stops will be made and at what time, so the “how long till we get there?" question doesn’t come as often.

2. Have a set of rules for family travel that can be reviewed with your children each morning to help avoid power struggles during the day, rules such as who sits where and what music will be listened to and for how long.

3. Pack some CDs, books on tape, or have a bag of small surprises like little games or puzzles that can keep your children busy while en route.

4. If traveling by car, stop every 60 to 90 minutes to allow everyone to stretch their legs and use a bathroom. Doing this along with providing some light but frequent snacks may help prevent motion sickness.

5. It’s also a good idea to put together a travel “good health kit” that contains any medications your child is on, plus an over the counter pain reliever, band aids, antiseptic ointment for cuts and bruises, sunscreen (if needed), insect repellant and alcohol -based hand cleaners in case soap and water are not available.

6. If you are traveling in a rental car, make sure the rental agency has an appropriate car safety seat if you are not using your own.

7. Praise your child/children if the trip goes well, and do something extra special as a reward such as a swim in the hotel pool or letting them choose a restaurant.

8. Remember that this is a great opportunity to spend some quality time with your children, so rather than view travel as an ordeal look at it in a positive fashion, focus on the fun, and you’ll be there before you know it.

Hopefully tips like this will allow you to pack just the right stuff and route you in the right direction the next time you travel with your children.

Our Nanny in Chief Targets Obesity

T

he state of Vermont faces a $112 million General Fund shortfall next year - and even more if the promised Challenge for Change savings fizzle out.

The state also faces a total unfunded retirement benefits liability of $1.932 billion. The state's taxpayers endure the 5th highest state and local tax burden of the 50 states.

Families in every community are out of work and insecure.

One concerned office holder, Attorney General William Sorrell, has decided that it's time for a bold new initiative: to raise $30 million in new taxes to enable state government to wage war against. the Menace of Obesity.

A year ago the AG fell in with a group of 70 "stakeholders", alarmed at what he recently was to describe as "the skyrocketing rates of obesity and overweight." There were grave discussions about the fat explosion. People are acting not only against their own well being, but also against society's interests! The Jeffords Center at UVM produced a report by a notably left wing professor, concluding that obesity is costing Vermont an astounding $615 million a year. In November the AG presided over a news conference proposing swift action to combat this menace.

Apparently the media did not spend much time dissecting the Jeffords Center report. If they had, they would have found that, of the $615 million, $295 million is due to obese people not producing anything because they died, and $188 million is due to obese people not showing up for their jobs (sick days) and engaging in something called "presenteeism". This latter concept relates to fat people not being as productive on the job as normal sized people. In addition, the Jeffords Center report calculates a cost of $1.7 million for "gasoline", presumably meaning that fat people require more fuel to get to the workplace. Removing these "costs" reduces the cost of obesity by 79%.

As for Sorrell's "skyrocketing rates of obesity and overweight", the report says that from 1999 to 2007 the adult obesity rate doubled - but it doesn't say from what to what. A referenced Health Department data sheet says adult obesity rose from 20% in 2003 to 22% in 2007. If that's skyrocketing, so is Vermont's economy.

The centerpiece of the "Attorney General's Healthy Weight Initiative" is a program to subsidize the purchase of healthy foods for food stamp recipients ($7.3 million).

Another $600,000 will be handed out to retailers to buy better refrigeration. Another $450,000 will subsidize healthier school lunches. Communities would get $2 million to create "local facilities and programs targeting nutrition, disease prevention and physical activity".

Sorrell would spend $140,000 to intensify the Healthy Retailer Program and "work on wellness in communities and workplaces". He would give the Education Department another $231,000 to hire three new employees to "provide greater support for improvements in school wellness and nutrition" by auditing local school practices. Act 250 applicants would have to show that their proposed developments would not adversely affect "community health and wellness."

Sorrell well understands that there is no spare change around to pay this bill. So he proposes slapping a one cent per fluid ounce tax on "sugar sweetened beverages" to bring in $30 million a year. Whole milk, which has half again as many calories per ounce as sugar-sweetened soda, was somehow overlooked.

Hearing Sorrell's bold new tax proposal, Governor-elect Peter Shumlin had his spokesperson make it clear that the new Governor had no intention whatever of beginning his new administration by proposing a new tax.

Let's be fair: overweight and obesity are problems for half of Vermont's population. But let's also be honest: extracting millions in new taxes, handing out more grants, hiring more bureaucrats, and jacking the Nanny State up to a new level is not likely to be a popular idea.

Sorrell informed the media that his duties include "looking out for the well-being of the general public." Somebody needs to inform Sorrell, forcefully, that the law says that his job is to represent the state in all civil and criminal matters, issue advisory opinions, and supervise state's attorneys.

If and when the legislature and Governor agree to create the position of Nanny in Chief, Sorrell, citing his many years as head of his own $8 million a year taxpayer-financed public interest law firm, will be welcome to apply.

Until then, he should scrap his tax-raising Nanny State program and stick to his boring but essential statutory duties.

Sure hope you don’t have a sweet tooth!

W

hat’s this I hear about our attorney general suggesting a tax on sugary drinks? Well, sugary drinks that he chooses to tax, not sugary drinks in general. He said even his morning drink of choice, orange juice, has sugar in it “but it’s natural sugar,” he said, so it’s an okay drink to drink. No tax will go on it.

Hmm, I’m not a doctor, but I’m guessing sugar is sugar as it relates to causing weight gain and diabetes. I’m not educated and I’m not sure, but, I’m guessing my doc checks my blood and finds it too sugary, he’s going to ask me what I eat and drink, and if I tell him I normally drink three or four large glasses of orange juice each morning with the “natural” sugar in it, I’m saying my doc will start, and suggest I might back off to a single small glass a day.

Again, I didn’t study this stuff, I’m just thinking you can get both fat and diabetes from eating too many oranges, as well as you can from drinking too much soda. But here, I cannot overstate enough that I might be wrong.

One cent tax per one ounce on certain soda, sweetened iced tea, sports drinks, energy drinks, and flavored waters, to dissuade fat poor, and or fat rich people (the attorney general was clear in stating some rich people are fat too – he didn’t use all those exact words of course), and folks with diabetes, from buying sodas; yeah, basically that’s the deal as I understood it from what I heard on the talk radio program.

He said (he may not have meant some of what I’m retelling, I’m just retelling it filtered through how I understood the information as he gave it) education is key to getting folks to drink less sugary liquid. We drink too much soda, he says, because we’re not smart enough to realize it’s unhealthy for us. That’s a tricky one for my little brain to understand. You gather twenty folks, rich, poor, fat, skinny, bald, republican, democrat, tea partier, a varied lot, into a room, have someone hold up a glass of water in one hand, a glass of soda in the other, and ask which one is healthy and which one isn’t, and I wager they all, everyone of them, picks water as healthy and soda as not.

But that’s just me, again, I may be way, way off on my figuring there.

Now the attorney general did say, though he does get outside a good deal and is quite active, he himself is actually some bit overweight. I wonder, smart as he is, shouldn’t he be the perfect weight for his size?

Say I’m dead on on figuring everyone knows soda is healthier then water - that would mean lack of education isn’t a main reason we drink too much sugar. Oh boy, if that’s correct, then what? Well, then, tax the soda a penny an ounce and people will buy and drink the same amount, because they don’t care if it’s bad for them, they’ll drink it anyway, is what; but the state gets a sweet thirty million it

wouldn’t without the tax, is also what.

Statistics say, and I don’t buy into statistics, but what the hey, lots of you do, attorney generals do, and I’m writing a column, and a column as you readers know are great places to use statistics - statistics say the average American (What the exacting hell is an average American anyway? See that’s the thing. If I don’t know what an average American is, the point of me knowing what statistics say about the average American is moot, isn’t it?) drinks fifty gallons of soda a year. Now some folks don’t drink any soda, so assuming some of the folks who don’t drink any soda fall under the statistic takers definition of average Americans, which means some other average Americans drink more than fifty gallons of soda each year. I’m just trying to make cents of this deal here and say, fifty gallons multiplied by one hundred and twenty eight ounces (128 ounces in one gallon) is sixty-four hundred ounces. So at one penny more per once of soda at fifty gallons a year, you pay sixty-four bucks more than you pay now for your sugar water. Sixtyfour bucks. You, assuming you’re an average American, pay sixty-four bucks a year more for your soda if the new tax is levied or sugary drinks. My average American sugary drink addicted friends, do not fret, you can FIND sixty-four bucks a year.

Our attorney general is a nice guy, I know him a little bit. He is as smart as a gimlet is sharp. He’s done more great things for our state than I ever will. I’m not challenging his offering to tax the sugar waters, so do not, if you know him, read this and call him and say some buffoonish column writer is hacking away at him personally, or at his policy suggestion, cause I’m not. I am not. I am not making a judgment of our attorney general or his policy ideas at all, I’m totally neutral on the issue at hand. I just have thoughts is all. It’s the least I can do.

Now that I’m finished, I’m gonna lay on the couch, peel the wrapper off a Snickers, crack a Dr. Pepper, and watch “Dancing With the Stars,” all things I know are bad for me, but all things I’d gladly pay more to do. Whoops, I just accidentally come up with the definition of an average American. Tag, you’re it.

S

tay on Track, a drug prevention program, was offered to our 8th graders. Sgt.

The Tiny Theatre presented Dr. Fred Michel’s photography

By Catherine M. Oliverio POULTNEY — The Tiny Theatre recently presented the photography of Dr. Fred Michel. Despite the stormy night, the turnout for this event was tremendous.

Dr. Paul Hancock, Tiny Theatre board member and GMC economics professor, had approached Michel about sharing his pictures on the big screen. He envisioned such a public response since it was a show not to be missed.

The evening showcased over 100 photos featuring landscapes and some animals from England, Spain, France, Maine, Vermont, New York, Utah, Hawaii, and various locals in California.

The array of brilliant, vivid colors had attendees escaping Poultney into any one of Michel’s mesmerizing photos.

Some of his work was quite surreal, and one could easily drift to another dimension.

Michel was available for conversation before, during, and after the show.

Jesse Gelinas played string instruments, and there was nature poetry consistent with the viewing of the landscapes and animals.

How did Poultney’s local dentist get involved with photography? “I started young and have been taking pictures for over 50 years,” said Michel. “In college, I got very serious with photojournalism and simply loved it!”

As any serious photographer, Michel sat for hours waiting for the right lighting to capture scenes in deserts, canyons, fields, and on mountaintops.

One thing that Michel is very proud of is that he is a traditionalist, and his photos are not digitally manipulated.

In the past, Michel had shown his work at the Chaffee Center and Feick Gallery.

The Tiny Theatre is a community non-profit organization located at 153 Main St., Poultney, Vt. 802-287-9511, and is available for any type of venue.

For further information, contact Dr. Paul Hancock at 802645-1969, visit www.thetinytheatre.org or www.fredmichelphotography.com You may also contact Dr. Fred Michel at his office at 802-287-4066.

Vermont Author Thompson At Rutland’s Annie’s Book Shop

By Joe Milliken newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND — Local author and poet Donald Thompson, author of the recently published (History Press) book titled Castleton, Vermont: Its Industries, Enterprises And Eateries, will be appearing at Rutland's Annie's Book Shop Friday, Dec. 10. Other books Thompson has published include the popular Lake Bomoseen, Stellar Woods, Islands Of Light, Turning 60 and the Comic-Book Book.

Indeed a renaissance man, Thompson is a retired social studies teacher, has worked in museums, participates in archaeological digs and has done many historical interpretations such as Andrew Carnegie, Samuel de Champlain and Henry Hudson. In his performances, Thompson uses anecdotes, artifacts and a vast amount of knowledge to help the audience understand the important historical figure he portrays. Thompson uses personal anecdotes from residents in addition to original research to tell the fascinating history of Castleton and the productive people who have built and nurtured it.

Castleton, Vermont: Its Industries, Enterprises And Eateries is an essential Vermont book touching upon village historic homes, churches, the college, locally owned country stores and quaint restaurants. It describes the town's rich history as influenced by its industrious citizens and the several mills and foundries that sprang up along the Castleton River in the very early days.

The arrival of the railroad in the mid-1800s created another economic boom for the village and spurred the growth of the slate and marble companies until Castleton's industrial community rivaled that of Rutland.

Okemo Ski and Snowboard swap raises $2,300 LUDLOW — Okemo Mountain Resort’s Annual Ski and Snowboard Swap, held November 19-21, raised more than $23,000 to help defray operating costs at Okemo Mountain School.

“Proceeds were up 15 percent over last year,” said Mariel Meringolo, head of school and organizer of the event. “I am grateful to all of the volunteers who donated their time, as well as all of the mountain personnel who went above and beyond their normal duties to provide support to the event.

Without all of the volunteers and the help of the mountain, the Ski Swap could never have been such a success.”

The three-day sale of new and previously owned ski and snowboard equipment, clothing and accessories fetched 75 percent of the sale price for the sellers, while 25 percent went to Okemo Mountain School – helping keep tuition as affordable as possible for all students.

Okemo Mountain School is a non-profit educational institution dedicated to the academic and athletic development of serious snow sports athletes. Student athletes are given the opportunity to train in alpine ski racing, snowboarding, and freestyle skiing, while pursuing a rigorous course of academic study.

County Stakeholders Plan 2011 Response to Underage Drinking

Otter Valley SRO Ann Bandy and student Katrina Taylor signin at registration table with Stafford Technical Center SADD students Ashley Smith of Leicester and Kim Rupe of Poultney.

Recently, over 30 community members came together at the Stafford Technical Center Dollhouse Restaurant for a luncheon meeting on what the priorities will be in dealing with the problem of underage drinking will be in Rutland County during 2011. Rutland County will receive over $30,000 to fund the county’s START program (Stop Teen Alcohol Risk Team) and

the meeting was designed to allocate our grant funds for the following year. The community members represented all the stakeholders- the police agencies in the area (Rutland County Sheriff ’s Department, Rutland Police Department, Vermont State Police, Castleton Police Department, Fair Haven Police Department, Brandon Police Department, Vermont Department

of Motor Vehicles, Vermont Department of Liquor Control, and the US Forest Service Police), youth, who were represented by members of SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) from Fair Haven Union High School, Proctor High School, and Stafford Technical Center and also students from Otter Valley Union High School, where there is not presently a SADD Chapter , and the two community coalitions that serve the Rutland area- the Rutland Area Prevention Coalition and Black River Area Coalition.

The food for the luncheon was provided by the Stafford Technical Center Culinary Arts Program, under the direction of Chef/Instructors Barry Ferraro and Greg Lynch.

The group decided to spend the bulk of the grant funds for police officer responses to underage drinking parties in progress (reactive patrols), police patrols in times when parties may be more likely (proactive patrols), and police training and educational outreach programs for the community.

Other funds will be used to support the Tuxedo Insert Program, a national model program developed in Rutland County, which places a warning

card about the costs of underage drinking in tuxedos rented for prom season and corsages for proms.

This meeting, which allows all those who are key players in the fight against underage drinking a voice in the planning of future activities, is also a model for other counties of how to run these kinds of meetings.

BURLINGTON — Vermont 4-H'ers didn't horse around when it came to national competition last month in Kentucky. Several Vermont 4-H club members, all winners at state level competitions earlier this year, won awards at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup.

The Vermonters were among the 332 4-H horse program members from 25 states vying for top honors at the 25th annual roundup, Nov. 5-7, at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center in Louisville. The event, hosted by the North American International Livestock Exposition, included six competitions designed to test knowledge of everything equine, as well as evaluate communication skills. FourH'ers competed both on the individual level and as part of a team representing their state in hippology, horse judging, horse quiz bowl, public speaking, individual presentation, and team demonstration.

The Vermont Hippology Team placed sixth overall out of 23 teams, coming in sixth in problem solving, eighth in the written exam, and tenth in judging. The team also placed second in stations, the phase of the competition in which contestants stop at a series of stations or tables to answer questions on horse breeds, nutrition, health, and other equine science topics.

In individual judging, Chantel Charlebois, Jericho, tied for second high individual, coming in just one point behind the first-place winner. Team member Alexandra Glover, Newfane, earned a fourth-place finish in the stations phase and was ninth high individual. Caitlin Ackerman and Kyla Ward, both from Jericho, also competed as members of the Vermont Hippology Team, which was coached by Kathy Kennett of Panton.

In the horse judging competition, the state judging team placed tenth in the performance classes team judging contest. Members of the team included Jen Carp, Colchester; Julia Dockum, Fair Haven; Cara Turnbull, Essex Junction; and Mary Williams, Burlington. Deb Danforth of Castleton was their coach.

The Horse Quiz Bowl Team, consisting of Brittany Alvarez, Rutland; Jessie Bachmann, Ira; Hillary Fay, Westford; and Katelyn Phillips, Fair Haven, placed sixth overall. Norma Katz of Springfield coached the team.

Anna Corso, Danville, and Kendall Edmondson, St. Johnsbury, came in third for their presentation on Road Rage in the team demonstration contest. They were coached

by Judy Corso of Danville. The other member of the Communications Team was Amy Blazej of Windham, who participated in public speaking. She was coached by Allison Trowbridge, also from Windham.

While in Kentucky, the delegates visited the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington and Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, in Louisville. They were accompanied on the trip by their coaches and Mary Fay, 4-H Horse Middle Manager.

Snowsliders can test their skills at this competition, open to skiers and snowboarders of all ages. Okemo knows that snowsports enthusiasts don’t stop working on new tricks just because the snow melts in the spring. This competition encourages participants to showcase the new tricks they learned and practiced over the summer. The entry fee is $20.

Registration is scheduled from 8-10 a.m. in the Okemo Clock Tower Base Lodge mezzanine. The competition starts at 11 a.m. This year ’s best trick will win $200 cash.

More information is available at at okemo.com or by calling (802) 228-1600.

Pico ski card from page 1 skiers or rider ’s photo, which is also linked to a credit card.

Each day, the first time the card is scanned at the ski lift, the credit card is automatically charged the discounted Pico rate.

The money raised will help support our efforts to raise our community goal of $560,000 to support 34 non-profit health and human service agencies working in Rutland County,” Sharp concluded. “Last year alone, these agencies responded to over 26,000 requests for assistance in our community and the numbers continue to climb.

“These type of events and fundraisers bring awareness to the work of United Way and our partner agencies, and the need for our community to support both United Way and Pico,” Sharp concluded. “The United Way is different than most non-profit organizations in that we raise money locally and all of the money raised locally stays local to support friends and neighbors in need in our community. We can’t thank our friends at Pico enough for their continued support of United Way of Rutland County.”

Last year ’s United Way Day raised more than $2,000 for the Rutland Chapter, aiding them as they continue to serve local children and families in need. Over the last five years, Pico Mountain has raised more than $30,000 for the United Way of Rutland County, through winter and summer United Way Days.

Chesman From page 1 collection contains many favorite home desserts including varieties of cookies, brownies, layer cakes, pies, old-fashioned fruit desserts, ice cream and more.

Other cookbooks Chesman has published include The New Vegetarian Grill, an updated and expanded version of an earlier book about vegetarian grilling, as well as seasonal cooking with Serving Up the Harvest and The Classic Zucchini, roasting vegetables with The Roasted Vegetable and healthy eating with 366 Delicious Ways to Cook Rice, Beans, and Grains.

Chesman’s other dessert books include Mom’s Best Desserts, Mom’s Best One-Dish Suppers and Mom’s Best Crowd Pleasers, and she is currently working on a book about preserving, which will include some favorite recipes from the out-of-print Summer in a Jar and the soon-to-be out-of-print Pickles and Relishes.

Chesman will appear at the Park Street bookstore Friday, Dec. 9 from 7 to 9 p.m.

“I have been visiting a lot of different book stores, food stores, and kitchen stores to spread to introduce people to my book,” Chesman concluded. “At Briggs I’ll be cooking a couple of dishes. Generally when people can taste my food, they are more likely to buy the book.”
