Palmisano is local Top Chef Rising country-western genre performer Louie Allen traces his roots to Rutland County; the musician was born in 1960 in West Rutland and is looking forward to a return to his old stomping grounds with an appearance at the 2009 Vermont State Fair in Rutland in September.

Playing guitar and performing on stage at a very early age, Allen moved to Myrtle Beach, S.C. at the age of 18.

Always yearning to write music, sing, and perform on stage, Allen formed a country music band, called Quarterline, before the age of 20.

Allen’s band played the Myrtle Beach area for 17 years. After cutting his teeth in the south, Allen started opening shows and attracting fans.

He has opened shows for popular Nashville stars such as Keith Whitley, Shelly West, Mel McDaniel, and Steve Wariner.

Allen and his wife now live in Tennessee, close to the heart of country music, however, Vermont memories are never too far away.

There are as many good chefs in Vermont as there are good restaurants. But what does it take to be ranked numero uno among chefs in a potion of Vermont’s Champlain Valley? If chef Sam Palmisano of Pulcinella’s Restaurant in South Burlington is any gauge of what the title means, then the bar is set high—very high.

Palmissano took home the title of the Top Chef of the Champlain Valley for the second year in a row. This year ’s rotating valley location contest is not totally accurate by its claim—for example, this year ’s contest did not include Addison County chefs, according to organizer CVAA, the Champlain Valley Agency on Aging.

“We try to rotate chefs from our four county area; this year Addison County was not represented. In previous years, Addison County made up all three of the competing chefs; it varies by year. The funding for this event however benefits the Meals on Wheels and Case Management programs in Addison County,” said CVAA’s Sarah Lemnah.

Palmisano competed against chef Robert Barral of Café Provence and J.J. Vezina of the Windjammer Restaurant and Upper Deck Pub in an Iron Chef competition using all fresh Vermont produce, cheese and proteins donated by area farmers.

The secret ingredient was announced to the chefs and the audience at the start of the competition and each chef had 50 minutes to create an appetizer and entrée

In recent months, the economic recession has created unprecedented challenges for Vermont’s 200 certified organic dairy farmers. After years of double-digit increases in consumer demand, reliable milk prices and impressive expansion in the number of organic dairy farms in Vermont, sales of organic dairy products nationally have decreased substantially.

There is now an oversupply of organic milk in most markets. The two major wholesale buyers of Vermont’s organic milk, Horizon Organics and Organic Valley Cooperative have implemented mandatory milk price or production cuts to address financial and supply-demand imbalances.

For a large number of organic producers the milk check now falls well short of covering the high cost of purchased organic feeds and fixed costs of production.

Keep on truckin’ T

he process of taking a thought and putting it on a page—then into your memory, then presenting it to an audience to see if it’s effective—is the most rewarding and fun part of my job.

Using someone else’s comedy material makes very little sense to me. That’s why when I first started writing and performing, and it became apparent my stories and jokes were salable; I made a rule to use only my original material in my shows.

As time went on, I loosened my own rule and allowed myself to tell two jokes that I thought were very funny, that fit perfectly into the rhythm of my show, and more importantly, were fun to tell. I allowed myself to do that only if I told the audience that I didn’t write the jokes.

I recently came upon another joke I like: The next time you come to one of my shows you may hear it, not because I need material, but because it will fit nicely in certain pockets of my show and, mostly, because the way it’s built calls for a type of punch line delivery that’s as much fun for a comic as hitting a walk-off homer is for a baseball player. I’ll tell my audience that I didn’t write it. If I do decide to use it, I may build around it a bit in order to punch it up. It’ll be fun, for me, to see what I come up with.

Actually I already have built around it. It’s basically a totally new joke, 'cept for the punch line. Guess that’s what you call “Makin' it your own/Stealin' a joke.” Check it out. But remember, it’s all in the delivery— Vermont Farmer was bringing his cows ‘cross the main road, one of the few places in the state it’s still done that way. Out-of-staters just love driving over a path of cow doo. Makes ‘em feel welcome.

About the time the last cow was ‘cross, a great big Mercedes sedan pulled through with Texas license tags; a big ol’ Texas guy drivin’, his big Texas wife next to him, and two big Texas kids in the backseat. Texas guy stops right n’ the middle of the path of cow doo—sticks his head out the window, says to the farmer, “This Here ya’lls farm?”

The Vermont Farmer, without looking around says, “Hyuh.”

Texan says, real slow like, “Back home in Texas, I get in my truck, drive from one end of my farm, all the way the other end —it takes me all day to do it.”

Vermont farmer turns to the Texan and says, “I used to have a truck just like that.”

The hunt for pieces of Mercury on Earth

W

ith the distant planet Mercury visible in the evening sky this week, it’s worth looking at new research that suggests pieces of the hot planet are waiting to be found right here on Earth.

We know that pieces of the Moon, Mars and asteroids have been found as meteoritic rock fragments on Earth. A recent computer model of Mercury's creation billions of years ago shows us that some of its ejected rock and dust ended up falling on Earth and Venus.

These complex computer simulations, produced by scientists at the University of Bern, Switzerland, tracked where Mercury’s ejecta travelled over the course of millions of years.

The Bern scientists spent months speculating about the fate of material blasted off Mercury and out into space.

More simulations resulted and the Bern team now thinks that a large proto-Mercury collided with a giant asteroid about 4.5 billion years ago.

Mercury is a dense planet, which implies that it contains lots of heavy metals. Mercury was formed much like Earth’s Moon by a titanic collision of celestial bodies; it then reaccreted, into the planet we know today, following the impact.

At the end of the first Bern simulations, a dense metal and rock body remained after the impact with streams of rapidly escaping debris. A second simulation tracked the ejected matter until it either landed on nearby planets, was thrown into deep space, or simply fell into the Sun’s deep gravity well.

Simulations showed that some of the ejected Mercury material reached all the way to Venus and Earth. Such computer simulations, made by pioneering researchers such as NASA’s Dean Chapman, began in earnest during the 1960s.

These simulations have shown how ejecta from the Moon and Mars can reach Earth. In fact, Mars meteorites and some lunar material have been identified on Earth; however researchers still bicker over the origins of some of the space rocks.

Bern scientists stuck their collective necks out and suggested that Earth might be the resting ground to as much as

16 quadrillion tons of Mercury’s ejected rock—wow, that’s a lot of Mercury on Mother Earth. However, this idea will remain a scientific challenge to prove, at least until geological samples from Mercury’s surface are collected and returned to Earth for study. Next, the rocks have to be chemically matched alongside suspected Mercurian meteorites to ultimately prove theory as fact.

What’s in the Sky—Get a fleeting glimpse of the planet Mercury low in the western sky around 8 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 22 (see accompanying sky map).

Urbanism and its end

in Dayton was convened to brainstorm alternatives to the pervasive decline which Rae calls “the end of urbanism” which is exemplified by such 50% population-loss basket cases as Detroit and Youngstown. One recommendation: urge the media not to call them basket cases. Another: bring in street theatre and puppet shows to emphasize the “creative economy”. A third: level the abandoned buildings, sell the scrap lumber and brick, and plant subsidized gardens. And a fourth, from Dayton’s Mayor: “we are developing a boutique city”. She declined to elaborate. On her behalf, I will.

I’d guess that iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s advocacy for, and prediction of, the total disappearance of the traditional (think cubistic high-rises, brick-paved streets and lightrail trackage) city and its replacement by a very green and low density Broadacre City with no centers, is over-stated, and that small to mid-sized urban cores in particular can survive and prevail by offering small-scale industry, research, business, commerce, and professional services. Maybe that’s what she calls “the boutique city” but then chooses, in a nation-wide venue, not to describe.

The conference chose not to recognize the serendipitous and synchronous urban-future news event of the decade: the first step in the departure of the New York Stock Exchange from lower Manhattan in downtown New York City. A decade ago, NYC paid the NYSE a more-than-half-billion bribe to stay, but now, in the first tranche of its exit-by-stages, the Exchange’s fast-trade hub is about to depart for exurban Mahwah on the New York/New Jersey line.

I

n Tennessee’s Northeast Kingdom (as in Vermont, the handful of upland counties to the north and east of Washington) the urban centers (as in Vermont, but more so) are in decline. I’d guess, from personal observation, that Johnson City—three times the size of Rutland City—shows proportionally as much business and residential flight and I’d further guess that it’s trying just as hard to reverse the trend.

Two recent events, one local and one national, illustrate aspects of their task.

Local: In Johnson City, recent underground utility work revealed long-forgotten brick street pavement and street-car trackage, bringing forth a host of then-and-now photographs evoking both nostalgic memories ( even though none of the rememberers were living urbanites when the “then” photo’s were taken) and optimist downtown-renaissance predictions which would improve on the fairly bleak-looking “now” photo’s.

No question that such photo’s are immensely attractive. If you thumb through such urban histories as Douglas Rae’s “City” or Lloyd Ultan’s “The Beautiful Bronx” you’ll see illustrations of streetscapes with the sidewalks civilized and busy, the building facades ornate, the street-cars functional, and the overall impression one of lively urban society-in-action.

Rae labels that late 19th /early 20th century period “the age of urbanism” and his description of the flight to the suburbs even then in its early stages is compelling reading. Almost none of us who admire the “then” photo’s would choose to live there, which explains why our grand-parents and parents began fleeing the downtowns of walk-up flats over stores, street-car transport to mill or city park, schools with phys-ed space up on the roof, and so on as soon as they could affords to do so. Somewhere between 5 and 10% of contemporary American households have actually participated in the muchpublicized back-to-the-city movement, and all the rest of us, as surveys have repeatedly shown, want no part of it.

Thank You

Insult to Veterans To the Editor: On July 15, the selectboard of Shoreham received a letter on the subject of allowing the people in Shoreham to vote to increase—from $10,000 to $40,000—the property tax exemption for their four qualified U.S. veterans.

The writer wished to speak at the board meeting. The reply from the town clerk said that they “discussed” the writer ’s request and “they do not want to pursue any change in exemption at this time.”

Why should Shoreham change the $10,000 exemption?

Only 32 years passed since the town graciously gave veterans the exemption, now they are cheeky enough to ask for more.

After all, we allowed them to serve. How stupid of them to become disabled, isn’t it damn ungrateful of them. The next thing they’ll want special seating at the Veteran’s Day

To the Editor: The Castleton Community Seniors extend a sincere thank you to all the individuals, businesses, and organizations who contributed to our very successful Basket Party July 18.

Over $4,000 was raised to help pay for the renovations to our barn/ Wellness Center project. The Basket Committee did a spectacular job collecting over 150 baskets and $2,500 in raffle items. Special recognition goes to Lillian Pitts and Kay Mead who worked tirelessly in contacting donors and collecting items for the event. The Wellness Center serves the health and educational needs of seniors and others in the community who benefit from convenient access to programs and services designed to promote healthy aging and improve the quality of life for older adults and their families.

WEDNESDAY August 19, 2009

Vermont State Fair tops fair “must sees” Vermont’s state and county fair season is underway. Topping the list is, of course, Rutland’s very own awardwinning Vermont State Fair which will be held Sept. 4-12.

The state fair held in Rutland began on Sept. 24, 1846. Agricultural events then—and now—included horse and cattle shows and exhibits, farm museums, horse, pony and ox pulling contests, ox shows, sheep and goat shows, horse shows, 4H building events, a sugar house and dairy center, forestry activities, fish and game programs, and a pet and poultry building.

This year, the state fair celebrates its 163rd year. Gov. Jim Douglas, who apparently enjoyed last year ’s fair performance of the Canadian Mounties, was so thrilled to hear that the policemen are returning to the fair, that he wrote fair officials a letter expressing his pleasure; the letter appears on the

fair ’s official website.

The Vermont State Fair includes many free shows for attendees to enjoy.

Internationally recognized entertainers will provide the fair ’s midway shows this year. For more details and program times, see www.vermontstatefair.net.

There are other Vermont fairs remaining in the 2009 fair season: •Deerfield Valley Farmer ’s Day Exhibition, Aug. 21 – 24, in Wilmington.

Celebrating its 91st year with full midway with rides, truck and horse pulls, ox pulls, farm exhibits, horse show, children’s activities, exhibit halls, sawing competition, pie eating contest, livestock competition. Demo Derby and midway.

•Caledonia County Fair, Aug. 20–24, in Lyndonville. Celebrating 164 years of tradition with agriculture, floral, maple, poultry, rabbit and 4-H exhibits.

•Bondville Fair, Aug. 22-24, in Bondville. Agricultural displays and contest; quilt show and exhibit; crafts; rides and games; live free entertainment; bingo; horse, ox, antique tractor, garden tractor, ATV and truck pulling.

•Champlain Valley Fair, Aug 23–Sept. 1, Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction. Named a Top 100 American Bus Association Event in 2008 and the Top Agricultural Fair by the International Association of Fairs and Expos in 2006.

Tunbridge World’s Fair, Sept. 11–14, in Tunbridge. Old-fashioned agricultural fair in rural setting.

•The Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival, Sept. 6-7, in Essex Junction. A special two-day event for animal and wool enthusiasts.

•South Hero Applefest and Craft Show, Oct. 11-12, in South Hero. Vermont’s largest apple festival.

Wallingford plans community art show Last year, over 20 exhibitors helped kick off Wallingford’s annual art show event. This year, event organizers have reached out and invited new ones to join the show. Wallingford area artisans have responded in greater numbers since last year ’s event. This year showcase everything from photographs and paintings, to quilts, baskets, pottery, jewelry, dolls, and more.

Besides the local art on display, organizers have added something new and different. They are having local collectors bring pieces from their collections to display and discuss.

“We’ll have someone who collects colorful Quimper pottery from France, a collection of old Wallingford postcards, antique dolls and stamps to name a few,” according to Diane Cooney of Wallingford.

The setting for theshow is special, Cooney said.

“It will be held indoors at the lodge of the Boy’s Camp overlooking Elfin Lake in Wallingford. Outside there are picnic tables so be sure to bring a picnic. Admission is free and there will be some light refreshments,” she noted.

The event will be held Thursday, Aug. 27, 5-7 p.m. at the Boy’s Camp on Elfin Lake in Wallingford.

To locate the camp, drive to the Route 7 stop light in Wallingford, follow Route 140 West, cross the railroad tracks and steel trestle bridge, and take the first left and continue past the transfer station. Turn right on to Boy’s Camp Road and continue to the lodge.

Following the exhibit, there will be a meeting of the Wallingford Historical Society with voting for officers. For more information, call Cooney at 446-2514.

GUESTVIEWPOINT How a car-wash fundraising event touches lives

L

ast week, Cpl. Jeff Stephenson from the Rutland County Sheriff’s Department and Police Academy organized a car wash at Walmart to benefit the Aktion Club of Rutland County.

The Aktion Club provides service and leadership opportunities for adults who are living with disabilities. The Aktion Club was organized by the Kiwanis Club of Rutland in Association with ARC Rutland Area. We need volunteers to support us in reaching our goals.

We will need a lot of support from the community; the Rutland County Sheriff’s Department has already started helping. In the past, the Aktion Club has already; collected food for the food shelf, and worked with some elderly folks who needed help with their raking, or shoveling.

This year the club is working on a garden to donate food to those in need, also in their plans they are going to continue visiting their adopted nursing home, Mountain View Center. Other projects that they’ve done in the past and plan on doing again, with your support, are the annual Buddy Walk, collect for United Ways campaign and help ARC get signatures on their petitions in three towns. The Aktion Club is amazing.

We would like to give special thanks to Walmart for allowing us the space and to the Rutland County Sheriff’s Department’s for providing the material and man power to make this event happen. The Aktion Club is very thankful for the efforts on the behalf of Jeff Stephenson and all the volunteers with his department, especially family members who came and played in the water with us. This event not only gave the club members a chance to be with their friends in the community but it also gave them a chance to give back to the community that gives to them. To all those who came by, thank you for your support, and your car looks great!

ARC-Rutland Area’s programs are derived from our name; Advocacy, Resources and Community opportunities for people with developmental disabilities. ARC supports the local Self Advocates Becoming Empowered - Rutland, the Rutland Family Support Network with their sibshops and potlucks, we do Representative Payee work for about 65 people; read material from and comment on the State and local meetings on disabilities. We currently offer transportation to most of our events. Of course our more known activities are the five dances we provide each year.

There are only one and a half positions at ARC-Rutland Area. Cpl. Jeff and gang: we appreciate your support in helping this club. The mission of Aktion Club is to provide members with an opportunity to develop initiative and leadership, serve their community, become more fully integrated into society, and demonstrate the dignity and value of citizens with disabilities.

Lisa S. Lynch, Executive Director ARC Rutland Area Rutland

Twice the Fun: Double-Coupon Days

L

ast week, I mentioned that pairing dollar coupons with dollar sales at the grocery store are one of my favorite ways to get items for free.

Another easy way? Doublecoupon days.

Coupon "doubling" occurs when a store matches a coupon's face value and passes the added bonus savings on to you, the shopper. Here's how it works.

By Jill Cataldo When you go to the checkout and hand the cashier a 50-cent coupon during doublecoupon days, the cashier scans it and the cash register automatically doubles the value of that coupon to $1. You receive a dollar savings on one item with one 50-cent coupon.

Grocery stores handle double-coupon promotions differently. Some stores double coupons up to a certain amount every day. Others offer double-coupon promotions on certain days of the week or certain weeks of the month. Still others offer double coupons on some days and triple coupons on others. During a triple-coupon promotion, a 50-cent coupon is worth $1.50.

These sales are definitely worth checking out because stores that double coupons make it very easy for shoppers to get groceries for free or at big discounts. However, in my experience, many stores have specific rules for the ways they double coupons. You'll want to refer to your store's coupon policy to determine exactly how your store handles these promotions. Visit the store's Web site for the information or ask for a copy of the guidelines next time you're shopping.

For example, one national grocery store chain will double all coupons worth up to 55 cents every day of the week. Another national chain doubles coupons up to $2 each, but they only run this promotion for one week each month. Some stores will double Internet coupons, others won't. It's important to find out exactly how your store handles doubles so that you aren't disappointed at the checkout.

Let's go back to our example from last week, the "dollar sale" at the grocery store. Our store has many items on sale for $1, including cans of soup, toothbrushes and bags of frozen vegetables. Our store also doubles coupons up to $1 in value. How can we get things for free? Well, any coupon with a value of 50 cents will automatically be doubled to $1. I have a 50-cent coupon for the soup, a 55-cent coupon for the toothbrush and a 75-cent coupon for the vegetables. With those three coupons doubling in value, I'll be taking home a can of soup, a toothbrush, and a bag of frozen veggies all free.

It's important to note, too, that coupons typically do not double over the value of the item. This is different from the way some stores handle "overage," which is when your coupon's value exceeds the cost of the item you're buying. At many stores, using a $1 coupon on an item that is on sale for 75 cents will not only give you that item for free, it will also take an extra quarter off your total purchase. This is the overage value that was left over after your $1 coupon paid for your 75-cent item. However, when a store offers double coupons, they're matching the coupon's value out of their own pocket. So, using a $2 coupon on a $3.79 bottle of spray cleaner will get you the cleaner for free, as the coupon doubles up to $4, but it will not give you that extra 21 cents in overage. However, you'll be taking items home for free, and who doesn't love that?

Now, don't fret if you no stores double coupons in your area. Coupon doubling tends to be a regional phenomenon. Here in the Chicago area, none of our grocery stores double coupons, ever! The closest stores that do are 45 minutes from where I live. (And yes, I take "coupon field trips" to them on occasion.) But I do the bulk of my weekly shopping in a store that does not double coupons, and I still manage to cut my bill by half or better with coupons each week.

Lake Monsters take State College series

By Fred Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com The Vermont Lake Monsters got back on the winning track last weekend when they took two of three at home against State College, Pa., but it could be a case of to little, to late for the quickly fading Monsters. Even with the series win Vermont stood at 26 - 30 headed into ation this past Monday.

And with just three weeks left in the season the Lake Monsters were in third place in the New York-Penn League’s Stedler Division, five games behind front running Lowell with just three weeks left in their season.

The bat and the glove of Destin Hood carried the Vermont Lake Monsters to a 5-3 victory over the State College Spikes in the series opener last Friday night at historic Centennial Field.

With two runs in and the bases loaded with two outs in the fifth inning for State College, Hood made a diving catch of an Aaron Baker line drive down the leftfield line to end the inning and keep the Spikes lead at 2-1.

State College got an unearned run in the sixth inning for a 3-1 advantage, but Hood then tied the game with a tworun line drive home run over the leftfield wall. It was Hood’s first home run with the Lake Monsters.

The game stayed 3-3 until the bottom of the eighth when Vermont loaded the bases on back-to-back walks and a J.P. Ramirez single with no outs. Hood then gave the Lake Monsters the lead with a sacrifice fly to centerfield and J.R. Higley added an insurance run with another sac fly to center for a 5-3 Vermont lead.

Clayton Dill (3-4) pitched the final two innings for Vermont, allowing one hits with one walk and four strikeouts for his third win of the season. Lake Monsters starter Matt Swynenberg had tossed four scoreless innings before being touched up for two runs in the fifth on a Pat Irvine solo home run and Brock Holt RBI single.

Teddy Fallon (1-2) gave up the two runs in the eighth inning to take the loss for State College after starter Kyle McPherson had allowed three runs on five hits over the first six innings. Irvine was 3-for-5 with a double to go along with

his second home run of the season for the Spikes (28-27).

Francisco Soriano was 2-for-3 with two runs and a double for Vermont, who snapped a five-game losing streak with the victory. Sean Nicol put the Lake Monsters ahead 1-0 in the third with a sac fly, giving Vermont three sacrifice flies in the game along with the Hood home run.

Yhonson Lopez tied the game with a two-run triple and then scored the winning run on a J.P. Ramirez sacrifice fly as the Vermont Lake Monsters scored four times in the bottom of the ninth inning for a come-from-behind 4-3 in game two over the State College Spikes Saturday night at historic Centennial Field.

The Lake Monsters had just two singles, both by Sean Nicol, over the first eight innings and trailed 3-0 as the bottom of the ninth began. J.R. Higley was hit by a pitch to leadoff the inning, moved to second on a wild pitch, advanced to third on a Justin Bloxom single and scored on a wild throw back to the infield by leftfielder Butch Biela.

After Adam Amar flew out, Sandy Leon singled to rightfield to put runners on first and second with one out. Lopez, who was 1-for-13 in limited action this season, then grounded the first pitch from Alan Knotts down the right-field line for the two-run triple that tied the game.

State College walked Francisco Soriano and Sean Nicol to load the bases before Ramirez hit the first pitch he saw deep enough to leftfield to allow Lopez to score with the winning run. It was Vermont’s first win in 2009 when trailing after eight innings (1-16) and also the largest deficit overcome to win a game this season.

The Spikes had taken the 3-0 lead with single runs in the fourth, sixth and seventh inning. Justin Byler put State College on the board with a solo home run in the fourth inning off of Lake Monsters starter Paul Applebee, making his debut with Vermont after being promoted from the Gulf Coast League. Applebee allowed two runs on four hits in his 4 1/3 innings of work, while reliever Evan Bronson gave up one unearned run on no hits in 2 2/3 innings.

Jose Pinales (3-1) allowed two hits and struck out two in

the ninth inning to pick up the win for Vermont, while Knotts (3-2) took the loss for State College (28-28). Spikes starter Michael Feliz allowed just one hit, a first inning infield single, over 4 2/3 innings and Mike Williams struckout seven of the nine batters he faced in 2 1/3 innings.

The State College Spikes scored four runs in the top of the first inning and then scored a single run in six of the other eight innings to avoid the sweep and claim a 10-5 New YorkPenn League victory over the Vermont Lake Monsters on Sunday evening at historic Centennial Field.

The Spikes used three singles, including a David Rubinstein two-run single, and two walks by Vermont starter Chad Jenkins to score the four runs in the first inning. The Spikes added another run off Jenkins in the second inning on a sacrifice fly, one of four sac flies for State College in the game.

Edward Garcia’s RBI single in the third gave State College a 6-0 lead before the Lake Monsters rallied to get back to within one run at 6-5 as Vermont scored a run in the fourth and added four more runs in the fifth innings. The Spikes then scored single runs in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth innings for the 10-5 advantage.

Rubinstein was 3-for-4 with a run and two RBI for State College (29-28), while Garcia went 4-for-5 with a run and two RBI. Justin Byler was 3-for-4 with two runs and an RBI, while Evan Chambers scored two runs and hit a solo home run in the eighth inning. Tyler Cox (7-2) allowed five runs (two earned) over four innings to pick up the win in relief of starter Victor Black, who struckout four in three hitless innings.

Jenkins (0-1) allowed five runs on four hits with three walks in his two innings to take the loss, while four Vermont relievers each allowed at least one run. J.P. Ramirez went 2for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI, while J.R. Higley had two RBI for the Lake Monsters.

Vermont (26-30) took a couple of days off for the New York-Penn League All-Star Game, which ws held on Tuesday at State College. The Lake Monsters were back in action on Wednesday starting at 7:05 as they begin a three-game series against the Jamestown Jammers at Centennial Field.

Todd Stone picks up first Devil’s Bowl win

MID-STATE SATELLITE 802-773-7374

38365

116 North Main Street Rutland, VT 05701

WEST HAVEN - Middlebury’s Todd Stone isn't going to give up his crown at Devil's Bowl Speedway without a fight.

Sitting far enough up front to avoid a multi-car wreck on lap 10, Stone easily pulled away from the field and recorded his first win of the 2009 campaign Sunday night in the 30-lap 358-modified feature at the Bowl.

The win, numer 14 of his career at Devil's Bowl, allowed Stone to break Ken Tremont Jr.'s three-race winning streak.

Kris Vernold came off the front row and set the pace for the first nine laps, but Stone, who had started sixth, was already up to second when the caution came out for the multi-car wreck.

Stone used the subsequent restart to move out on the point, and with the race being slowed by just one other caution, he hit the finish line over six seconds ahead of Vernold, who had his best run since finishing second to Tim Laduc in the final race of the 2008 season.

Vince Quenneville Jr., still looking for his first win of the season, crossed the finish line third, followed by Gardner Stone and Ray Hoard. Although Gardner Stone was happy to see his son back in victory lane, he also had to be pleased with his own top-five finish. According to unofficial records, the last time “The General” finished in the top five was May 16, 1998, when he finished second to Hector Stratton.

Frank Hoard III rocketed

to his third win of the season in the 25-lap budget sportsman feature. Anthony Warren came off the pole and led the first six laps, which were slowed by a couple of early cautions. Those yellows helped Hoard move up from his eighth starting position, and he moved around Warren on a restart on lap seven.

The field quickly spread out, and Hoard drove to a convincing win over Seth Howe and Jack Swinton.

Josh Joseph and C.V. Elms completed the top five.

Rady Alger passed Bill Duprey with two laps to go, and held on for a thrilling win in the 20-lap limited feature. Alger led the first three laps, but Duprey then moved out front and took control. But Alger was never far behind and made his move with two go, hitting the finish line a nose ahead of Duprey to come away with his first win of 2009, becoming the ninth different winner in the highly competitive class this season.

Duprey, Chris Murray, Joe Ladd and Paul Braymer completed the top five.

Fred Little picked up his second win of the season in the pro-street stock feature, and Colin Clow won the mini/Duke stock feature.

The night also featured the annual Mountain Man enduro, which was won by Kyle Gray.

The annual Judith L. Richards Memorial will take place on Sunday, Aug. 16, with all divisions in action.

It will also be Bikers' Night, with all fans (driver and pas-

senger) arriving on a motorcycle being admitted free of charge. Racing will begin at 6:45 p.m.

Rutland ‘salt cave’ starts a trend The public Himalayan salt cave in Rutland is no longer the only simulated salt cave in North America. Homeopath Dr. Margaret Smiechowski of the Pyramid Holistic Wellness Center and Salt Cave in Rutland announced last week that she helped construct a new Himalayan salt cave in Naperville, Ill. The midwest ‘cave’ is slated to open by midJuly.

Smiechowski is no stranger to building esatz salt caves.

She has built two of her own already in Rutland and is now working with people around the world to develop new Himalayan salt caves because of their almost-miraculous healing benefits.

Touting the healing benefits of Himalayan salt, Smiechowski believes that more salt caves will be popping up around the world.

“I can help people create their own speleotherapy rooms in several designs, including the salt cave and salt mine look, a relaxation chamber design, and even a restaurant design,” she said.

Farmers From page 1 Especially hard hit are organic producers who are new to organic farming; many incurred significant debt in transitioning to certified organic production and are still working to refine organic grazing systems and animal management practices essential to profitable organic milk production.

To date, one of Vermont’s certified dairy producers has sold the herd for financial reasons; two organic dairy producers have lost milk buyer contracts to produce organic milk. The coming months will be especially difficult for many organic producers until consumer demand for organic dairy products, and farm milk checks, recover.

In 2009, as it does every year, NOFA Vermont’s Dairy and Livestock Technical Assistance Program offers services and workshops designed to help organic dairy producers improve their organic farm practices and income. On-farm consultation services include business planning, farm energy auditing and information about cost-cutting practices.

NOFA Vermont’s Dairy and Livestock Program provides information about available low-cost loan and cost-sharing programs.

Advanced technical workshops for organic farmers are regularly offered on all aspects of organic dairying, including milk quality, animal health and nutrition, grain and forage production, farm budgeting, pasture and grazing systems, on-farm composting and herd housing. A full series of summer workshops is planned.

For more information about this summer ’s workshops and services offered by NOFA Vermont’s Dairy and Livestock Technical Assistance Program, visit NOFA Vermont’s webpage, www.nofavt.org, or call NOFA Vermont in Richmond at 244-6446.

Chef From page 1 highlighting this year ’s secret ingredient, honey. Chef Palmisano’s winning dish was a honeyed lamb tartare on mesclun greens in a ring of lightly roasted green pepper and for his entrée offered up a sweet and savory crusted lamb on wilted greens and gnocchi with honey sauce.

For Palmisano the competition was fun but not his motivation for participating. The Top Chef of the Champlain Valley, an Iron Chef Experience benefits CVAA and its Meals on Wheels and case management programs.

For Palmisano it is not about the competition or winning— it is all about the money raised for CVAA with everything else a bonus. Nearly $25,000 was raised by the Top Chef event, enough to provide over 5,000 meals to local homebound seniors.

Each chef presented his dishes to the panel of judges: Jozef Harrewyn, executive chef and owner of Chef ’s Corner in Williston, Melissa Pasanen, co-author of the cookbook, ”Cooking with Shelburne Farms: Food and Stories from Vermont”, Suzanne Podhaizer, a local food critic, and Annie Harlow, a farm-based food consultant.

The crowd watched as the judges meticulously tasted and took notes regarding the flavor, presentation, execution and use of the secret ingredient. In the end their decision was unanimous. Harrewyn made the pronoucement: “Sam Palmisano is our Iron Chef.”

Having recently lost his last grandparent, Palmisano said, “My grandmother was one of the blessed ones and many people have not been as lucky as her, CVAA does good work to help the elderly.”

Allen From page 1 “Honky Tonk Lake” and “Red Neck Alley” were ranked no. 1 on the Indie World charts. And the performer ’s newest album, titled ”Redneck Alley”, produced for Buckin’ Records by award-winning producer James Williams, has received praise by fans and critics.

Allen will appear Sept. 12-13 at the Vermont State Fair in Rutland with multiple shows on the Sugarhouse Stage.

Several of these shows will be broadcast live on Cat Country Radio locally.

Allen is presently playing around the Nashville area.
