Winter offi cially ends with a warm recordBy Lou Varricchio

[email protected]

RUTLAND — Last week’s snowstorm may have not have been the fi nal huzzah in Vermont, but Winter 2013 is already one for the history books; it is ranked among the top 11 warmest in history.

The month of February 2013 is the icing on 2013’s not-so-frosty cake, according to the National Climatic Data Center and Accu-Weather.com.

February is tied with February 2003 as the ninth warmest Feb-ruary on record, according to both sources. The record is com-prised of combined land and ocean surface temperatures with the data stream going back to 1880.

Added to the weather record book is the fact that February was the 336th month in a row—that’s a total of 28 years—in which the planetary temperature topped the 20th-century aver-age temperature. By the way, the period of December 2012 to February 2013 was the 12th warmest period on record in Ver-mont, according to AccuWeather.

Other February 2013 facts: it was the eleventh warmest Febru-ary in the lower troposphere (the layer of the air closest to the

PITTSFORD Ñ Now that the weather is (hopefully) getting nicer, many people clean out closets and do some Spring cleaning. If you find old bedding or towels, please think about bringing them to the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS). They make great bedding for the animals and keep them cozy and com-fortable while they’re here.

The animals especially love comforters, blankets, sheets and towels. Thanks for your continued support and for thinking of the animals. If you have any questions, please contact the shelter at 802-483-6700.

PIRATEOne year old. Neutered

Male. American Shelter Dog.I am a very sweet-tempered,

loving young dog who is eager to please and in need of an ac-tive family with time and space for me. A house with a big yard is what I have in mind. My former family had lovely things to say about me. How about: “He is a wonderful, rambunctious, housebroken, energetic boy”. I am looking for a new home now because I was adopted into a home with multiple cats and even though my new family tried as hard as they could to make it all work, my prey drive was too intense for living with cats.

FLASHFive year old. Neutered

Male. American Shelter Dog.I am a happy-go-lucky fel-

low who enjoys a good sniff and a good bone. I take life easy and tend to let my nose lead me around but I have no problem listening to people either. I like to be honest, though, and so I think you should know I do pull on the leash quite a bit. I am here because my family lost their housing and surrendered me on March 9. I lived with cats and another dog in my prior home and a family with teen-

aged kids. As you will notice, I am on the chubby side and losing a few pounds would be good for me.

KITOne and half year old.

Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Gray Tiger.

Are you looking for some-one to share your stories with? Well, I am your girl. I am a super talkative girl with many, many stories to tell you. I really like to be the center of attention and I usually sit on the window sill always saying hello when someone new comes in to see me. My previous family did say that it was taking me a while to warm up to their household. I really think with a little more time I would have settled in quite nicely though. If you are looking for a storyteller please come on down and visit with me today.

DUFFERFour year old. Spayed Fe-

male. Domestic Short Hair Black. Are you looking for a full grown cat in a kitten size body? Well, look no further. I am a super cute petite little girl with an adorable round face and huge gold eyes. I have lived with other cats and dogs so a multi pet household shouldn’t be a problem for me. I was an indoor and outdoor cat in my previous home how-ever I am really okay with be-ing an indoor only girl in my new home. I am also a very loving girl who really enjoys being held and loved.

There seems to be so much head shak-ing craziness all around us these days. From senseless shootings and

violence, out of control politics, over the top excesses that challenge others to push the envelope to even further extremes, to wor-ries about unmanned drones flying overhead and home appliances spying and sharing valuable personal information. So many of today’s modern creations boggle the mind, even from just a short while back in time. But are we using them for the betterment of our society or are they becoming the catalyst that drive us to these wild extreme measures?

I can remember a time not long ago when life was slower and it seemed as though the majority of the country shared similar val-ues. Collectively the nation knew right from wrong and in doing so kept us focused on life’s daily challenges, family and a shared sense of community. These values are still on display today but we also know that many among us are afraid to speak out and express their views for fear of retaliation or humilia-tion. As a nation we’ve become more driven by a vocal minority then a silent majority.

The computing power of today’s cheapest smart phone far exceeds the computing pow-er used by the NASA space capsule that first put man on the Moon. It seems the power and capabilities of these little devices are in-creasing so rapidly one has to wonder where it will lead. And are these technological mar-vels becoming too smart and too controlling over our lives?

Technology and its inventions can be a distraction that changes the focus of human purpose. I’m concerned that many of the problems facing society today are driven by a material belief that is placing greater faith in human self reliance than placing our trust in God, the true creator and supreme being. As we prepare for the celebrations of Passover and Easter, once again we see government entities opting for political correctness by re-moving the word Easter from traditional cel-ebrations in schools and communities. They claim to be doing so out of fear of offending but in reality it is fear of lawsuits by a small but vocal minority.

Like Christmas, Easter has become in-creasingly commercialized. But by removing the true meaning, we allow the holiday to be-come nothing more than a Hallmark event.

We no longer co l lec t ive ly look for di-vine support and no lon-ger speak out when obvious actions erode the origins of our nation built on the freedoms en-dowed by our creator.

I wonder if in time, as technology expands and we become more and more reliant on technology, will it be used wisely? Can we maintain control over the information or will it be used to negatively affect society? I also wonder if something as remarkable as the smart phone is becoming the golden idol of choice in society today? Are we becoming seduced by its capabilities, its dynamic intel-ligence and vibrant display? People seem so captivated by their phones today they simply can’t put them down. The smart phone allure is so powerful it is having serious effects on both workplace productivity and personal relationships.

Now don’t get me wrong, I too am a smart phone user but as this technology advances we must not let it be the central point around which our lives revolve. Personal relation-ships, love of family and neighbor and the recognition of our creator must remain paramount in our lives or the problems that plague our society will only grow worse. Our ability to solve interpersonal disagree-ments won’t happen when our mind, eyes and thumbs are focused on the cyber world, a capable distraction, but never the end all.

Faith-based democracies, like the United States and Israel, are places where the free-dom to practice and express ones faith has flourished and survived, because they’ve re-mained true to their founding origins. These are important facts to keep in mind this week as we celebrate the holy events of Passover and Easter, keeping in mind their historical relevance, which is very much still a priority in our lives today.

Holy Days still relevant

Dan AlexanderThoughts from

Behind the Pressline

From the Editor

I first met the old man in Granville, over the mountain, in southeast Addison County’s Lost Quarter.

I say Addison County’s Lost Quarter because when you’re over the mountain, somewhere off Route 125 along Route 100 in the shady reaches of the rocky Granville Gulf, you don’t feel like you’re a part of Addison County anymore. Ge-ography, even in 21st century Vermont, can cre-ate a sense of profound isolation.

We’ll call the old man Thomas because he doesn’t want his real name to appear in print, although—as Thomas said—most folks who know him will recognize him immediately.

Thomas grew up in Granville. There, he’s spent all of his 97 years Ò over the mountainÓ in the Lost Quarter. Thomas celebrated his most recent birthday in November. He doesn’t think about it because he expects to live well past 100.

Ò I never learned to drive,Ó Thomas said. “In the old days, we walked everywhere or thumbed a ride. It was never a problem getting around. It was easy to get a ride to Rochester. As a young man, I’d go down there with a friend to the Saturday night dances at the Grange.Ó

It’s hard to imagine that anyone living through most of the 20th century, and on into the 21st, never learned to drive an automobile.

Old Thomas is happy with just staying homeÑ alone.

Aside from a few friends and Jayne, a nurse neighbor who drops by to see how the old man is doing once a week, Thomas lives all by him-self. His wife, Alma, died in 1992, and he’s been alone ever since.

“No, I don’t get lonely,” he told me. “There’s lots to do around the house. I have my chores. I like to read the newspapers and magazines.”

Friends bring Thomas food and reading ma-terial. He doesn’t like to read books. Instead, he prefers perusing periodicals, the Ò funny pagesÓ and sporting news.

His house is located at the end of a dirt road that ascends, at least part way, the steep eastern slope of a rise he calls Ò the Hill.Ó The area is known as “Kortright Hill.” Judging by its steep terrain, the place looks more like a mountain.

Thomas was born at home in 1915. There was no trip to the hospital for his rugged, pioneer mother. She gave birth at home, in the flicker-ing shadows of a second-floor bedroom lit by a burning kerosene lamp. She had a midwife in tow who made sure everything went well.

Thomas was his parents’ only child, although he had plenty of cousins and school mates to play with during his happy childhood.

WhatÕ s the greatest thing to happen during your lifetime?

Ò The ice box,Ó Thomas said.Thomas never wanders too far from the

kitchen, which looks frozen in time, maybe 1968 or so, with its avocado-tinted Frigidaire and Admiral propane-gas cooking range. Even the old Sunbeam bread toaster on the counter, cov-ered with scorch marks and grease, looks like it belongs in a domestic appliance museum. They were appliances built to last.

Shortly after Alma passed away, Thomas withdrew from the outside world. He didn’t see the need to get around too much. Besides, walk-ing the long distances he was used to all those years ago became too much for an older man. In time, he became what we consider a recluse.

“Hell, I ain’t no hermit,” he told me, chal-lenging my use of the word. Ò I got everything I need, right here. So who needs to go any-where?Ó

He’s right in a way. Who needs to travel or acquire lots of fancy stuff when you’ve found a pot of simple gold at home? And thanks to the good Christian hearts of a few friends and neighbors like Jayne, Thomas can continue to feel safe and secure at home without leaving.

Together, we looked at some old, faded pho-tographs of Thomas and Alma.

The childless couple made a hardscrabble liv-ing by doing various jobs—taking in wash and mending, harvesting and selling firewood, ma-ple sugaring, picking and selling wild blueber-ries, and potato farming. In one photo, Thomas is bent over a vat of steaming maple sap. The sugarhouse must have been somewhere else be-cause I saw no evidence of it within eyeshot of his house. In another image, Alma is sitting on a ladder-back chair on the vanished porch with a ceramic bowl resting in her lap. Maybe it was filled with blueberries. It’s hard to tell.

I said goodbye to Thomas and promised to visit him again soonÑ and bring along more newspapersÑ when the weather improved with the coming of spring. Then he could give me an outside tour of his little homestead.

“You take care,” I said as I opened the door to my car.

Ò You betcha,Ó he replied from his teetering perch on the front step.

Will I live so long? Could I ever find such simple happiness within the confines of my four walls? I had a lot to think about on my long drive back over the Green Mountains, to another side of Vermont.

Cavendish Fund seeks applications By Lou Varricchio [email protected]

CAVENDISH — A panel of local residents making up the Cavendish Community Fund is now accepting applications for grants that will be awarded this spring. The deadline for applying is April 12.

Applications and guidelines are available at the Cavendish Community and Conservation Association’s website: www.CavendishCCCA.org under the Community Fund tab. Hard-copies are also available at Crow’s Bakery in Proctorsville and at the Cavendish town office.

The fund inaugurated its program in 2007 of giving cash grants to organizations for educational and cultural projects, programs and events.

Last year, awards were given to three organizations; to the Proctorsville Fire Department for the Junior Firefighter Train-ing Program, to Stepping Stones Preschool for a nature edu-cation program, and to the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library for a townwide CPR learning program.

Projects, programs or events must directly benefit the Cav-endish community in some way.

The local panel reviews all applications and recommends the ultimate grantees based on the quality and feasibility of each proposal.

Grants are not expected to exceed $1,000 each and will depend primarily on the number of applications and the amounts requested.

For more details about applying, on eligibility or on any other aspect of the grant program, or for help completing the application, please call Peter LaBelle at 802-226-7250 or Bar-bara Dickey at 802-226-7187.

RUTLAND Ñ If you are a motorsports fan and happened to visit the Diamond Run Mall in Rutland last weekend, you probably thought you stepped into NAS-CAR heaven. Local NASCAR stock car drivers, and their quirky, high-speed rac-ing machines, were the main event at the mall for the 12th Annual Rutland Region-al Race Car Show. The popular show was held on March 23-24. It put local race fans in the mood for the coming track season. While most of the stuff on display was familiar and well known to diehards of Devil’s Bowl Speedway, there was enough excitement to tempt newbies into learning more about the sport and maybe consider

a trip to the local track. As many as a dozen NASCAR Whelen

All-American Series drivers and cars were on hand to represent Devil’s Bowl Speed-way at the event, including Modified rac-ers Jeff Haskins of Wells and Cody Sargen of Greenfield Center, N.Y., rookie Late Model drivers Josh Masterson of Bristol, and Seth Bridge of Mendon, and two-division star Hunter Bates of Middlebury.

To lure attendees into actually expe-riencing the thrill of NASCAR racing for themselves, the staff of Devil’s Bowl Speedway crewed a lively display booth which included information about the 2013 racing season—and lots more.

To show its spirit of giving back to the community, the sponsors of the Rutland Regional Race Car Show provided free

admission, but attendees were encour-aged to make a donation to the March For Babies charity. By all accounts, visi-tors were eager to show their support and made generous donations to the March of Dimes charity’s good works.

Ò The Rutland Regional Race Car Show is always a great way to get your blood pumping,” Devil’s Bowl spokesman Jus-tin St. Louis told the Eagle. Ò The Spring Green is just over a month away on May 5, and we love going to the show and starting the countdown with our fans and drivers. It’s always cool to take an up close look at the race cars. We’re really look forward to it.”

Devil’s Bowl Speedway’s 2013 racing season kicks off Sunday, May 5, according to St. Louis.

NEW HAVEN — He’s bet-ter protected than the average pup, but outfitting a Vermont State Police K9 “officer” for duty doesn’t come cheap. Take “Vincent” of the VSP New Haven Barracks. This

well-trained Belgian Malinois canine (or K9 as the troopers call him) will be decked out in a new bullet- and knife-proof vest, thanks to the efforts of Groupon and Vested Interest for K9s, a volunteer charity.

Ò VincentÓ Ñ Ò VinnyÓ to his closest friends Ñ is handled by VSP Senior Trooper Justin Busby.

“Vincent is certified in nar-

cotics detection and patrol techniques for the Vermont State Police,Ó according to Busby. Ò An animal-related campaign, through Groupon Grassroots, to outfit police K9s with bullet- and stab-protec-tive vests ran from March 13 through March 20.”

Busby said that Vested In-terest in K9’s, Inc., the non-profit organization and charity partner selected by Groupon Grassroots to participate, is based nearby in Massachu-setts.

“An online $10 donation is suggested for interested persons... through the secure website where all funds are allocated to purchase ballis-tic vests for our four-legged crime fighters who put their lives on the line for the com-munity and their partner,Ó he added.

In the final six days of the drive, the campaign raised over $140,000, according to Busby. The goal was to raise over $150,000 by March 20,

Just because the Groupon campaign ended March 20 doesn’t mean donations will

not be accepted.After the Groupon cam-

paign ends, the organization will still accept donations through its website at www.vik9s.org or by U.S. Mail to the

following address: Groupon/Vested Interest for K9s, P.O. Box 9, East Taunton, Mass. 02718.

From News ReportsWEST HAVEN – The Bond

Auto Parts Modified stock car division from Devil’s Bowl Speedway will be hit-ting Ò The RoadÓ this year, Thunder Road International Speedbowl, that is. The Barre track has invited the dirt-style, center-seat Modifieds to com-pete in a 50-lap event during the 51st Annual Mekkelsen RV Memorial Day Classic on Sun-day, May 26, at 1:30 p.m.

The site of the People’s United Bank Milk Bowl, Thun-der Road has hosted a variety of open-wheel events through-out its history, but never with the “dirt on asphalt” Modified rules package that has been so popular at Devil’s Bowl in recent years. The race will be held as a companion event to the traditional 100-lap Late Model event at the Memo-

rial Day Classic, along with Thunder Road’s regular Tiger Sportsman and Street Stock divisions.

Devil’s Bowl Speedway drivers are excited about the creation of the Thunder Road event. Two-time defending Devil’s Bowl champion Ron Proctor will make the long haul from Charlton, N.Y., to compete.

“I’ve heard a lot of stories about how small and tight Thunder Road is; it really makes you leery of how much contact there might be,Ó Proc-tor said. “But for now it’s all stories, and I can’t judge un-til I race it. I know I’ll have a lot of competition from Vince Quenneville, Jessey Mueller, Hunter Bates, and those guys. Since I’ve never raced there it will be a clean slate of sorts, but I’m hoping I can find the adjustments a little quicker than them because of my rac-

ing experience.ÓVince Quenneville, Jr. of

Brandon has never raced at Thunder Road, but the 2012 Devil’s Bowl runner-up knows all about it.

Quenneville’s father com-peted there some 40 years ago, and his employer, Todd Stone, raced there with the Ameri-can-Canadian Tour.

“I’ve been a Vermonter all my life, so I’ve heard an aw-ful lot about Thunder Road,Ó Quenneville said. “I know some of the guys in NAS-CAR today have competed there, and when guys like Robbie Crouch, Jean-Paul Cabana, the Dragons, Stub Fadden, and Ricky Craven have raced there, it excites me even more,” Quenneville said. Ò Todd Stone used to run an ACT Late Model, and he told me what a tough track it was to figure out. My father raced there in the 1970s with the

old NASCAR North Tour, too. I’m going to do a lot of asking around, and I think I can ad-just faster than a lot of these guys. A win would mean a lot to me up there.Ó

The Mekkelsen RV Memo-rial Day Classic at Thunder Road International Speedbowl is scheduled for Sunday, May 26. Devil’s Bowl Speedway opens its season with the ACT

Spring Green 113 and the NASCAR Whelen All-Ameri-can Series on Sunday, May 5.

BRANDON — As part of the popular, monthly jazz series, Brandon Music will showcase the Northeast Tenor Sax Summit Thursday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m.

The Northeast Tenor Sax Summit is a unique band comprised

of several of New England’s professional tenor saxophonists backed up by a premium rhythm section. With a sound that re-calls the great jam sessions of the swing era and especially Woody Herman’s “Four Brothers,” this diverse ensemble demonstrates many approaches to playing jazz tenor saxophone. Though the line-up is ever evolving, the group has recently included saxo-phonists Richard Gardzina, Matt Langley, Charlie Jennison, Fred Haas and Jonathan Lorentz, with a rhythm section of bassist John Hunter and drummer Tim Gilmore. The group hopes to “pick up a few more tenor players on the roadÓ and invites professional tenor saxophonists to sit-in.

The Jazz series at Brandon Music is coordinated by NH Jazz Presents, a company that produces a five venue jazz tour to Brandon, Laconia, Concord, Nashua and Portsmouth. The tour is sponsored by the Margate Resort, David Salzberg, the Saffron Bistro, and the Brandon Inn.

General Admission is $15 and reservations are encouraged. A dinner and show package is available for $30. Venue is BYOB.

For reservations call Brandon Music at 802-465-4071.

Brandon Music is located at 62 Country Club Rd. in Brandon.

LUDLOW — It was like Christmas morning at BRAM, the Black River Academy Museum in Ludlow recently. Museum staff were eager to receive a collection of rare and

unusual artifacts from World War I, the Great WarÑ the War to End All Wars. Accord-ing to Anita Alic of the mu-seum, BRAM Director Georgia Brehm and President Sue Pol-lender are in the process of for-mally incorporating the items into the museum’s permanent collection. The work on the military artifacts is being done

during the winter season, when the museum is closed.

Ò The artifacts include mili-tary insignia, a first aid kit, a mess kit, helmets, including a German helmet, tin cup, canteen, shells, shell casings, buttons, an officer’s record book, a small copy of the New Testament, a gas mask and a mystery liquid containerÑ to

mention only a few,Ó Alic said.Alic said that the Ò mystery

liquid containerÓ bears an in-scription which places it firm-ly in the World War 1 timeline: Ò Souvenir of American Vic-tory at St. Michael, Sept. 12-16, 1918”. The flip side of the container beats the inscription, Ò W. H. Lamere, Ludlow, VtÓ .

“If anyone knows what this

artifact is and has more infor-mation about the identify of W. H. Lamere, please contact the museum,Ó Alic noted. Ò t is not even know if this is a German, American or French container and what is its true function and its provenance.Ó

Alic noted that various local residents made contributions to the museum’s Great War collection: Lillian Davidson, Frank Hall, Tom Murphy, as well as William and Bernie La-mere. The Lamere family is the namesake for Lamere Square

in Ludlow. Davidson’s dona-tions included Ò souvenirs of the war she received from her father, Howard Ellis.

Alic said when cataloged and prepared for exhibit, the artifacts will be on display for the public to see this summer.

The World War I items will join other locally donated ar-tifacts from World War II and the Cold War-eras that are al-ready on display.

The museum re-opens Sat-urday, June 6.

New gas tax plan clears first hurdleBy Lou Varricchio [email protected]

MONTPELIER — Vermont State House Democrats car-ried the day by voting 105-37, despite rtrong Republican ob-jections, to increase the state sales tax on gasoline, March 20. The tax will add a 4 per-cent increase to the price of gasoline at a time when many small businesses, and working Vermonters, are struggling to make ends meet.

Debate over the increase lasted nearly the entire day March 20 with Republicans proposing various amend-ments.

Ò Unfortunately, each amendment was voted down by the Democrat majority,Ó said House Minority leader Rep. Don Turner.

The bill is now cleared for a final, formalized vote in the House within a few weeks.

The tax would be phased in over two years. The new tax would be on Ò pre-taxÓ fuel. While sponsors of the bill said it would Ò lowerÓ the per gal-lon excise tax by 5.9 cents, the legislation actually adds to the over all cost of gasoline in Ver-mont.

Ludlow man driving without license

LUDLOW — On March 15, Frederick Rodgers, 33, of Ludlow was arrested in the parking lot of the Irving Gas Station on Route 131 in Weathersfield for driving on a criminally suspended license. He was issued a citation to ap-pear in Windsor County Supe-rior Court Criminal Division at a later date.

Guest Commentary

Changing the way we teach mathBy Jim Callahan

Not long after I wrote my Guest Viewpoint in the Vermont Eagle, titled Ò How Will They Ex-plain?” (March 9, 2013), I received a phone call from the Addison Central Supervisory Union Assistant Superintendent’s Office to see if I would be willing to meet with Dr. Carol Feni-more to discuss my comments in the newspa-per.

I am writing this Ò postscriptÓ Guest View-point after returning from my visit with Dr. Fenimore. The first thing I’d like to correct is that I indicated that she was a breath of fresh air, I am sorryÑ she is the fresh air! I believe Dr. Fenimore is well aware of the challenges that await her in trying to implement the Common

Core State Standards For Mathematics for the Addison County district.

We never talked about the details of my Eagle commentary, but we did discuss the fact that students are not doing very well and that it is imperative that teacher in-service training in mathematics must be accelerated and greatly improved.

Training teachers in calculus to teach in the second grade may be a lofty goal, but teaching these teachers to teach second grade might be a better goal. Many teachers in the elementary level do not know how to teach the basics of mathematics. Far too many teachers are depen-dent upon math scripted programs, created by college professors; these professors have never taught in an elementary school (and if they did, they spent a very short time doing so)

Many areas of mathematics rely on situations that have been investigated earlier. Let’s say that this is the way a second-grade teacher de-cides to teach the students to add numbers: “To-day, I am going to give you a problem to solve.

Please add 17 + 24. How will we start? First put the larger number in your head and then count forward 17 numbers from 24 and you will have your answerÑ and it is 41.Ó

Let’s move this up a few grades, I think I will pick grade five: “Today, I am going to give you a problem to solve. Please add 4, 456 + 3,897. How will we start? First put the larger num-ber in your head and then count forward 3,897 numbers from 4,456 and you will have your an-swer. You were how old when you started this problem?Ó

Doing mathematical situations in the early part of learning must be able to be used in the later stages. Oh, some things look cute in kin-dergarten, as well as first and second grades, but it makes the third, fourth and fifth almost impossible.

Adding is the joining of two or more Ò ad-dendsÓ together to create total or sum. Count-ing nothing gets you nothing.

We have a number system for a reason. It works very well. Many programs take our sys-

tem and change it to nothing but trash. Our number system took thousands of years to be developed; it only takes a few academic loons with impractical ideas to destroy it.

We have a base 10 number system. It is simi-lar to our system of coins.

For example, a dime has been assigned the value of 10 pennies (10 cents). We do not make a dime from 10 pennies, nor do we make 10 pen-nies from a dime. This system is a value system just like the base 10 system. One ten is not ten ones, but each can be exchanged for each other just like the dime and the pennies. This under-standing is imperative, but it is being destroyed in many schools each and every day. This de-struction has allowed most of our students to have no number sense whatsoever.

I have called the Mary Hogan School in Mid-dlebury (where I was the principal many years ago) for a copy of its Item Analysis Report. I left the message on the current principal’s telephone voice mail. The last time I did this, it took a long time before I received what data I requested. I will keep you posted about how long it will take for a response this time.

Of course I realize that almost all of us have our plates running over with responsibilities. But for all of public officials, from presidents on down to school administrators, lack of trans-parency and failing to report public informa-tion accurately, and in a timely manner, is al-ways the wrong path to take. Vermont’s public schools are doing an extremely poor job of teaching mathematics; we can only correct this situation with honest reporting of the facts first, and quality in-service teacher training second.

From where I sit, I don’t think teachers are the fault; most teachers do what they are told. So as taxpayers, as voters, as parents, and as concerned Vermonters, we need to get at the of-ficials who are doing the telling to our teachers. One of those officials who did the “telling” in the ACSU is gone, thank God.

I, for one, can only hope for your success, Dr. Fenimore.

EditorÕ s note: Jim Callahan, of Middlebury, is a math consultant with area schools. He is the former principal of the Mary Hogan Elementary School in Middlebury.


RUTLAND — Tomorrow’s future health care professionals are learning the ropes in Rutland. The Stafford Technical Cen-ter’s Health Careers Program was recently awarded an education grant of $750 from the Rutland South Rotary Club. The grant was awarded for the purchase of new medical equipment that will serve as teaching tools for students enrolled in the popular program.

Among the items purchased included training stethoscopes used to instruct stu-dents about monitoring blood pressures. Stu-dents demonstrated the stethoscope to Nancy Cristelli, president of the Rutland South Ro-tary Club. Rutland South Rotary Club’s mis-sion is to provide support to the schools in the greater Rutland region.

BRANDON Ñ PTOsÑshort for Parent Teacher Orga-nizations—are frequently the lifelines between parents and teachers at Vermont public schools. In the case of the Ne-shobe PTO, affiliated with the Neshobe Elementary School in Brandon, the parent-teacher group is an active participant in the day-to-day activities at the school, especially for fund-raising for educational activi-ties for students and school staffers. Perhaps the strongest contributions parents make to the school is in fundraising.

Ò In order to accomplish our goals, we have a variety of fundraisers throughout the year,” according to Kelly Mc-Cullough, Neshobe PTP presi-dent. Ò Fundraiser activities help provide money for play-ground maintenance and up-grades, classroom needs, field trips, and moreÓ

One of the Neshobe PTO’s recent successes has been the marketing of its tasty “brand-edÓ salsas.

The PTO’s salsa sales, which began three years ago, dem-onstrate that a savvy parent-teacher group can create lots of community good will, good food, and needed funds when members work together. Ne-shobe PTO’s 75 members fre-quently put on their thinking caps and generate creative ways to generate needed funds for the rural school.

According to PTO Secretary Faith Claessens, Ò Neshobe PTO SalsaÓ is produced by Rutland County-based food producer Granny Blossom Specialty Foods. This salsa line, sold with Neshobe PTO labels, is all non-profit.

The PTO line of salsas in-clude roasted garlic, cran-

berry, mango, peach, corn cob and apple flavors. Dip just one chip into a bowl of Ò Neshobe PTO SalsaÓ , and we guaran-tee that you’ll come back for more.

Ò The salsa is very popu-lar,Ó Claessens said. Ò But we couldn’t sell the jars if it wasn’t for our active, engaged parents.Ó

PTO President McCullough is proud of her group of par-ents and school community members. They are a model for other PTOs to follow.

“We’re a friendly group of parents, administrators and other community members,Ó she said. Ò We focus on a vari-ety of needs, fundraisers and events at Neshobe Elementary School. Membership is free

and everyone is encouraged to participate in whatever way they canÑ whether they are able to decorate the bul-letin board, bake cookies for an event, attend one meeting a yearÑ or moreÑ or share an idea. If they are looking for a way to be more active in our school community this is a great place to do it. Just by joining this group, they are connecting with our school in a way that helps our students and staff. Ò

McCullough has a long-term investment in the suc-cess of the Nehsobe School; she has five children, her old-est son is a Neshobe graduate now at Otter Valley Union High School. She has sons in fourth grade, third grade and

the preschool program. A little girl rounds out the family and helps mom with her PTO du-ties, as well as administration work for the family’s tree com-pany in Brandon.

In the case of PTO Vice President Patty Moore, she is the mother of two Neshobe students, a fourth grader and a kindergartener. He husband, Bill Moore, is supportive of all Neshobe PTO efforts, too. Neshobe is very dear, accord-ing to Moore; she attended school here and has Ò wonder-ful memories.” Moore said she feels very fortunate to live in the Brandon community and wants Ò to advertise the great-ness the kids, teachers and parents of Neshobe.Ó

For PTO Treasurer Jennifer Philo, the mother of two boys, one son is a Neshobe gradu-ate and the other is a current fourth grader at the school. Philo is also active with the Rutland chapter of Vermont Legal Aid.

PTO Secretary Claessens said she and her husband and two sons have lived in Brandon for a dozen years. A

stay at home mom, Claessens has become a strong member of the Neshobe School com-munity Her youngest of two sons started to attend Neshobe three years ago. She has a sixth grader at Neshobe and junior at Otter Valley.

Aside from salsa and T-shirt sales, the PTO will be working with Price Chopper Super-market in the Tools for Schools program. The fundraising drive starts in July and ends in March. You can register your Price Chopper Advantage Card starting this July so that Neshobe School earns points from your purchases. These points can be redeemed by

the school for items it needs. Remember, it takes money to run a modern school and not all taxpayer funding of Ver-mont’s rural schools can do the complete job. So, PTOs like Neshobe’s can help make up some of the shortfall.

Ò We appreciate the commu-nity’s support of all our fund-raisers,” McCullough said. “If you are interested in helping in any capacity, please let us know. You can make a differ-ence at Neshobe.Ó
