MIDDLEBURY—The three days of peace, free love and rock-and-rollthat came to define part of a generation are coming to Middlebury’sTown Hall Theater, as “Middlebury Does Woodstock” recreates themost famous rock concert of all time.

“Middlebury Does Woodstock” follows two similar concerts thatwere smash hits for the theater. It started with “Middlebury Does Mo-town”, which played to sold-out houses and had the audience literal-ly dancing in the aisles. Then came “Middlebury Does the History ofRock-and-Roll”, which not only sold out the theater but played laterthat year at Middlebury’s Festival-on-the-Green.

“The key to these concerts is the local angle,” said THT executivedirector Douglas Anderson. “We put together a great band, headedby Chuck Miller, and then find people in the community to sing thesegreat tunes.”

Anderson believes that inside everyone is a rock star trying to getout.

“It’s amazing. Someone like Deb Tier, who’s a teacher by day, comesout and does Tina Turner so well you can’t quite believe your ears.You think, well, this woman could’ve had a professional career. Andthere are many people like that in the area,” he said.

Featured in this year ’s production are Don Arnold, Deb Brisson,Tony Cacciatore, Kendra Gratton, Leigh Guptill, Deb Tier, and SamTrudel, who will also M.C.

They’ll be singing the music of Joan Baez, The Who, CreedenceClearwater Revival, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone,and many more artists who played the fabled concert.

Middlebury Does Woodstock will play three nights only: Thursday-Saturday, June 17-19, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $17, and may be purchasedat www.townhalltheater.org, 802-382-9222, at the THT Box Office(Mon-Sun, noon-5 p.m.) or at the door, if available.

Feelin’ Alright: Leigh Gutpill channels Joe Cocker, Sly Stone and other rockstars in Middlebury Does Woodstock at Town Hall Theater, June 17-19, 8 pm.Tickets: 802-382-9222 or at the THT Box Office.

RUTLAND—When he’s notmarketing the City of Rutlandvia his position at the Down-town Rutland Partnership,author and historian DonWickman is perfectly contentto research the role of Vermontand Vermonters in the U.S.Civil War. He also teaches apopular course in Americanhistory at the CommunityCollege of Vermont in Rut-land.

Local interest in the CivilWar is unwavering, accordingto Wickman. In Vermont,many residents are fascinatedby the state’s outstandingservice in the war and its highcasualty rate —15 percentdied as the result of combatand disease, a staggering fig-ure.

“Many people alive today

have direct ties to the CivilWar era,” he said. “Also, Civ-il War photographs keep thismoment in history alive andvibrant.”

Wickman has written andedited several books about theGreen Mountain State’s rolein the War Between the States.His most recent book revealsthe daily lives of Vermont’ssoldiers, and in some cases,exposes the provincialism andcultural prejudices of menwho hailed from hardscrabblefarms.

Wickman’s latest book, “WeAre Coming Father Abra’am:The 9th Vermont Volunteer In-fantry 1862-1865, Patriots”,lets the Vermont soldiers dothe talking through personalletters home as well as moreformal letters to the editorthat appeared in local news-papers.

Charges filed in dairy calf abuse case

BURLINGTON—The Humane Society of the UnitedStates publically praised the Vermont attorney general lastweek for charging two former slaughter plant operatorswith felony and misdemeanor criminal animal cruelty inconnection with the society’s investigation of a dairy calfslaughter plant last October.

According to Vermont’s attorney general, ChristopherGaudette has been charged with one count of felony ag-gravated cruelty and two counts of misdemeanor animalcruelty.

Frank Perretta has been charged with one count of mis-demeanor animal cruelty, and arrest warrants have been is-sued for both defendants.

“The abuse of the animals at Bushway was appalling, andjustice had to be done,” stated Wayne Pacelle, presidentand CEO of The HSUS. “We are grateful to Vermont Attor-ney Gen. William H. Sorrell for filing charges against theindividuals responsible for this unconscionable abuse.”

The charges stem from the Humane Society’s undercov-er investigation that revealed dairy calves only a few daysold —many with their umbilical cords still hanging fromtheir bodies—unable to stand or walk on their own.

The footage documented that newborn calves, too weakto stand, were kicked, slapped and repeatedly shockedwith electric prods and subjected to other mistreatment.

Gaudette was caught pouring water on one calf to in-crease the intensity of the shocking device.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the VermontAgency of Agriculture suspended operations at the plantlast October.

was the first regiment to an-swer Lincoln’s call for300,000 volunteers. Twomonths into their servicethey were part of the Unionforces who surrendered atHarper ’s Ferry. The bookchronicles their exploits andaccomplishments.

Many soldiers of the 9thVermont were passionate,prolific letter writers. Wick-man located their letters inboth archives and privatecollections.

“There were so many warletters to look through,”Wickman said, “that at onepoint I needed to take abreak from it all.”

Wickman’s lifelong inter-est in the Civil War began asa youngster during the1960s. While he studiedcolonial history, agricultureand botany in college, theCivil War always tugged athis sleeve.

“The 1960s was the cen-tennial of the war,” he said.“And then years later, whenI was living in Maryland, Iwas located 50 miles from

Gettysburg, 40 miles fromAntietam, and 80 miles fromFredericksburg. So, on daysoff from work, I took manyfield trips and read lots ofbooks about the Civil War.”

Now a resident of Rut-land, Wickman’s Civil Warinterest was focused on theGreen Mountain State’s rolein the bloody war.

According to Wickman,Vermonters in the 1860swere less motivated by thehigh ideals of liberatingslaves than in simply fight-ing for the homeland—thatis, preservation of the feder-al union.

“The soldiers wrote about‘coloreds’ or ‘niggers’ intheir letters home, so maybetheir reason to fight wasn’tall about freedom of theslaves,” he said. “Manyviewed African-Americansas second-class citizens,so—yes—there was preju-dice. Even though Vermonthad a black population inthe 1860s, the prejudice wasvery subtle.”

Wickman is currentlywriting an historical hand-book for the Mt. Indepen-dence Coalition in Orwelland an illustrated bookabout Vermont Civil Warphotographer GeorgeHoughton for the VermontHistorical Society.

“I keep finding little gemsof Vermont history,” he said.“There’s always somethingto write about.”

Vermont’s gallant 9th: 1862-65The Vermont Volunteer Infantry 9th Regiment was formed in Brat-

tleboro during the U.S Civil War and served gallantly in the UnionArmy, according to Don Wickman.

The Vermont 9th fought in the bloody eastern theater beginningin July 1862 and disbanded after the war ended in December 1865.

It received accolades from the North when it became one of thefirst federal units to enter the defeated southern capital, Richmond,Va., in April 1865.

Despite its overall success, the 9th Vermont was captured at theBattle of Harpers Ferry during the 1862 Maryland Campaign.

Captured during the battle, the 9th was not sent to a rebel POWcamp; instead, it was graciously permitted to sit out the war for fourmonths paroled at U.S. Camp Douglas in Chicago. The camp wasnamed after Brandon, Vt.-born U.S. Sen. Stephen Douglas (D-Ill.)who ran against Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 presidential election.

The regiment lost many men: 24 men killed and mortally wound-ed, five died from accidents, two committed suicide, 36 died in Con-federate prisons, and 232 died from disease—a total loss of 299men.

MIDDLEBURY—This week, until further notice, a traffic-pattern change will be in effect on College Street (VermontRoute 125) in downtown Middlebury due to road and park-ing lot construction

All eastbound, inbound, traffic on College Street will berequired to turn right on Academy Street

Westbound, outbound, traffic on College Street will notchange.

No on-street parking on the southside of College Street,between Main and Academy/Weybridge streets, will be per-mitted.

Town of Middlebury officials have advised motorists todrive with extra cauition in construction areas and not to usecellular telephones which affect wireless radio equipmentoperations locally.

More roads, bridgesunder construction!

Tourists beware: Vermont is under construction. Gov. Jim Douglas last week signed into law a $595 million

transportation bill at the Miller Brook Bridge project in Stowe.The fiscal year 2011 transportation budget contains recordspending for Montpelier ’s long-neglected bridge rehabilita-tion and repair eyesores, as well as record or near record sumsfor other transportation programs, including rail and paving.

“These investments continue the strong commitment we’vemade to our physical infrastructure in recent years,” Douglassaid. This transportation budget will generously fund manypriorities, such as paving, bridges and rail, and create jobsacross the state.”

The fiscal year 2011 bridge expenditure of $113.2 million isa record sum, and represents the first time the VermontAgency of Transportation’s bridge budget has topped $100million. This represents a $19.3 million increase (21 percent)over the previous high in fiscal year 2010.

In addition to all the work that will be done through thebridge appropriation, the transportation bill also funds an ad-ditional $5.8 million worth of town-highway structuresgrants. These are taxpayer funded grants that will be award-ed directly to towns for rehab, repair and replacement of bothbridges and culverts. Combined, the grant program and statebridge budget are expected to fund the rehabilitation, recon-struction or maintenance of about 150 bridges statewide.

“All of this work will allow us to continue to decrease Ver-mont’s number of structurally deficient bridges,” said Trans-portation Secretary David Dill. In 2004, 11.2 percent of Ver-mont’s Interstate bridges were structurally deficient. Today,just 7 percent are structurally deficient. Similarly, in 2004,18.5 percent of town highway bridges were structurally defi-cient, while today just 15.9 percent are structurally deficient.All of the bridge work built into the new budget will allow usto reduce these numbers even more.”

Other Transportation Bill highlights include $93.4 millionfor paving which will help Vermont Agency of Transportationresurface about 300 miles of roadway this construction sea-son, and $51.7 million for railroad improvements, including$5 million for continued AMTRAK rail passenger service onthe Vermonter and Ethan Allen lines as well as $26 million tobegin track and bridge upgrades to increase train speeds forthe Vermonter.

A Decade Serving the Community: 1999-2009

Mom doesn’t like cussin’. I should say, she does-n’t like certain cusses. So I screen first runfilms she might be interested in seeing for

cussin content. I saw Jeff Bridges movie “Crazy Heart” re-cently and gave it a clean bill of cuss. Mom went, liked it,but took issue with some of “the language”, as she callscussin’. I watched it again, and sure enough, there were anumber of mom’s unwanted-type cusses sprinkledthroughout.

Last night, I screened “Sex in the City 2” and will givemom the green light to go view. She won’t like some of thefront-take cusses in the movie, but she’ll be forewarned.Front-take cusses are different then “flow” type cusses,like the ones from “Crazy Heart”. In CH, the cussin is ap-propriate to the character doing the cussin, and flows nat-urally within the situation. In SITC 2, the cussin may beappropriate to the character doing the cussin, but it does-n’t flow natural within the situation. It seems forced.“Front take” cusses I notice, “flow” type cusses I don’t no-tice. Does that make sense?

I’m getting off point a little. All I really want to say is, Iliked SITC 2.

The brand is solid, and the filmmakers stay well withinwhat the brand can display. The characters are well de-fined, and the actresses are strong, especially Sarah JessicaParker. Watching her is a treat. You are interested in whatgoes on with her story—no matter what she’s trying toplay, you believe her.

The other gals are good too, but Sarah owns the fran-chise, which of course isn’t any giant revelation is it? Amovie does not have to be a world changer for me to enjoyit. If you think you relate to me regarding what I look forwhen I simply want to be entertained by a movie, than Irecommend “Sex in the City 2,” especially if you’re a sin-gle middle-aged guy. What? Yup.

Hey, you single middle-aged guys, when I went to seeSITC2 I was one of three guys in the theatre; it was full ofhoneys of all ages shapes and sizes. These ladies weredressed up all nice and pretty, smelling fine, with nowhereto go. And most of them were drunk—yup; if you’re a sin-gle middle-aged guy looking for love and you can’t find itin the lobby after SITC 2, well buddy, you are one unap-pealing son of a gun.

The lobby was overflowing with women before the sec-ond show—just after the first show let out—and youwould of thought I was Antonio Bandares the way some ofthe drunkard 40 and 50-somethings were trying to dial me

in. There’s an amount ofnaked man in the moviewhich had the first showwatchers worked up intosuch a lusty lather that theywere needing to blow offsome steam; at that point inthe lobby, I was the one andonly male around they could blow off onto. I felt like athree-legged cat with a cold surrounded by a den of rabidfoxes. I could tell if I didn’t hurry and get my peanut M-and-Ms and Dr. Pepper and go hide in the bathroom, apassel of those women were going to try and bat mearound if they could.

So, I hid in the bathroom, not so much cause I wasscared, but because the lobby was loud. Some louds I like.Loud purring from a cozily curled up cat, or loud rumblefrom ramblin’ stock cars at the local oval, just to nametwo. But loud shrieks by middle-aged women who don’tget out away from the kids and husband nearly enough, isloud I don’t like. I could have hushed them all to dead si-lence by walking to the middle of the room and shouting,“Sarah Palin rules!”— but nobody wants to be a partypooper.

When the lights went down, I snuck into the theater andsat in the seat farthest back (which luckily happened to beempty). As I wrote earlier, I enjoyed this movie but nothalf as much as I enjoyed the woman sitting directly acrossfrom me. She could not sit still for more than two minutes;every time she repositioned and literally did a couple ofyoga moves. I’m serious, she was more entertaining thanSarah Jessica Parker; the moves she made were fantastic.I’d never seen anything like her in public. Pretty sure shewas Canadian. Figures, eh?

I’m telling you guys, SITC2 will loosen ‘em up.So, if you’re a feller in-between gals, or in the midst of a

divorce, or just looking for a good time, go see “Sex in theCity 2”. Get there early. I give the movie two solid stars. Igive the action in the lobby before and after the movie fourand a half stars, two thumbs up, and ah, saaalluuuttee!

There's no more MoonUp there;There's no Moon in the sky...

—Orange Merchants

Along with supposed alien visitations to Earth,Pluto’s demotion to dwarf-planet status (an go-ing discussion in this column), and possible mi-

crobial life on Mars, the most frequent question schoolchildren ask me is, “What if Earth didn’t have the Moon?” Toparaphrase the late T.V. pioneer Art Linkletter, kids askthe darndest questions. Yes, we’ve covered this questionbefore, but let’s look more closely at Earth without theMoon.

First, let’s look at tides. Without Luna, Earth would stillhave high and low tides thanks to the Sun, but these tideswould be half as high as lunar high and low tides. Springtides (or Neap tides) would disappear since both the Sunand the Moon—on opposite sides of the Earth or on thesame side—create these effects. However, large coastalbreakers, familiar to residents of California and Oregon,would still occur thanks to the effects of Earth’s rotationand maritime storms.

When it comes to time-keeping, there’d be no need tokeep a 12-month calendar without the Moon. Also, takeaway the influence of Luna’s gravity upon Earth and few-er volcanoes might have been created during our planet’slong geological history. This problem, with reduced outgassing from volcanoes, might have reduced the density,and perhaps the complex composition, of the terrestrial at-mosphere. Such an effect might have reduced or eveneliminated the chance of life arising early in the Earth’shistory.

Would the lack of a moon near Earth also have prevent-ed continental drift? Probably not since convection ofmolten materials deep within the Earth’s mantle is the re-sult of internal forces not lunar forces.

One intriguing effect of a Moonless planet Earth wouldbe a world without seasons—or at least a world with sea-sons very alien to those we’re used to.

Many astronomers think the proto Moon was an “inter-loper”, a planetary wanderer, which came from elsewherein space and impacted the Earth to form the Moon weknow today. If true, then the Earth’s rotation axis—in pre-lunar epochs—could have been tilted perpendicular to the“ecliptic” or plane of the solar system (rather than titled atnearly 24 degrees as it is now).

Without the Moon, sunlight would reach the Earth’s sur-face at the same angle throughout the year.

At Vermont’s latitude, the Sun’s rays would strike theground at 45 degrees daily. At both poles, the Sun wouldnever rise above the horizon. Thus, at the equator summer

would continue year round;at mid-latitudes springwould reign; and at higherlatitudes, winter would con-tinue throughout the year.

Such a hodgepodge of sea-sons would create wild, un-predictable planetwideweather—well, not too un-like Vermont’s ‘wait-a-minute’ weather now, eh? Just kidding, folks.

Seriously, without our Moon would the Green MountainState’s romantic reputation and 1940s pop singer MargaretWhiting’s “Moonlight in Vermont” fame be still as brightwith a song entitled “Moonless in Vermont”?

What’s in the Sky—During early June, Mars is nearRegulus but as it moves away from Earth in 2010, it willgrow dimmer. The orange-red color of Mars is a sweetcontrast to the blue color of Regulus. But don’t let thecloseness of these objects seen from Earth fool you. Regu-lus is 77.5 light years away. And in 2003, Mars was theclosest to Earth in 60,000 years at 34,646,418 miles. It hasbeen moving away from Earth since then and won’t bethat close again until 2287 A.D.

Bristol dumpingTo the editor:Incredible. Less than 10 days after a major garbage

cleanup in the Upper Notch of Bristol, slobs againdumped garbage in our stream. This time it was 4 tiresand a bag of used cat litter. This is an endless cycle thathas to stop. The Bristol Select Board keeps raising thedump fees and people just dump more garbage on our ru-ral roads. The more they raise fees, the more people dumpalong the roads and on and on.

Here are a couple of ideas that may curb the dumping.1) Twice a year (spring/fall) have a free dump day at

the Bristol town landfill. 2) When a dumper is caught...make an example of them.

Fines, community service, and publish their names in thelocal paper plus clean up the garbage they dumped.

3) When the the dumpers are caught, give them thestiffest penalty allowed. One recent dumper was given aslap on the wrist. The so called judge waived the fine andtold the dumper to pick up the mattress. Of course he did-n't pick up the mattress, he's a 'scofflaw'. And the judge?Well, you be the judge.

4) Strategically place a couple of trail cameras in thenotch to catch these slobs. These cameras are relativelycheap and they work day or night. There won't be anyquestion as to who is dumping what/when.

Doing nothing on this environmental issue close-to-home won't cut it.

Iwas forced into retire-ment by a bicycle ac-cident that left me un-

able to work with a dam-aged hip, damaged shoul-der and partially dead righttemporal lobe (tramauticbrain injury). I didn't knowwhat to do with my time. Icouldn't get work and thelines to volunteer werelong. I have since been ac-cepted as a volunteer at theFletcher Allen Hospital.

I was once asked what Iwanted to be when I grewup. Without much pause Isaid an eccentric, like theguy I met in Belize with atotem-decorated bicycle orthe homeless men I see indowntown Burlington whohas rigged a bicycle to ashopping cart and also dec-orated it with the totems ofhis life.

Almost simultaneously,the minister responsible forcredentials in the MichiganUnited Church of Christ,described me, “Norm’s lifehas been a grand and diffi-cult adventure”.

I have ridden for over 30years and have looked atreturnable empties litteringpristine Vermont roadsides.Eccentric, I have wondered,would be to stop and pickup this litter.

Today, was the first dayin the life of an eccentricbottle picker. It felt good. Istarted out wondering ifpurpose would interferewith the spontaneity of aride.

Mostly, I ride the samewell established loops and

out-and-backs, so I am notsure what spontaneity I wasthinking about; perhaps theimagined spontaneity offreedom to go left or rightat the flip of a coin. Pickingbottles was actually aboutas much spontaneity as Icould handle. Or perhapsserendipity as a 5-cent re-turnable would glitter inthe sunshine. At one point,I felt like one of the sun-leathered old men with ametal detector on a Floridabeach. We were both insearch of treasure.

I did learn a few thingsas would be expected onthe first day of any new ex-

perience. Watch out for poi-son ivy, it lives on the sideof the road. So does mud. Asloping shoulder is a diffi-cult place to set a kick-stand.

When I returned home, Ireplaced the one I had witha shorter one from my partsbin. Crushed or severelydented cans have no value;they will not go throughthe automatic bottle returnmachine. The addition of atwo wheeled trailer pres-ents itself as a traffic haz-ard for following vehiclesso best be alert.

Even though the three-feet rule was passed by the

Vermont legislature thisyear; no one follows it. Alla driver must do is give acyclist three feet whilepassing. I feel lucky when Iget three inches. Pleasedon’t kill me while I'mpicking bottles. The litter ofme dead on the roadsidewill defeat my purpose ofkeeping Vermont roadslooking nice. On the plusside, this is great exercise.The frequent stops, like arural post delivery is goodfor the legs, heart and vi-sion- everything keepsworking overtime.

BRANDON—Jack McKernon,founder and president of the McKer-non Group has recently retired from theday-to-day operations of the companyand will remain as chairman of theboard of directors.

McKernon has made a significantpresence in Vermont and New York,building quality homes and small busi-nesses since 1987. He was involved inthe complete restoration of the HoweBlock in downtown Brandon whichhouses several commercial spaces in-cluding the well- known CaféProvence. He has had a longstandingcommitment to environmentally safesystems and products and has beenpromoting and building “green” formany years.

As president, McKernon has estab-lished other businesses and sub-sidiaries of the McKernon Group:Huntington House Inn, Cotswold Fur-niture, Green Mountain Windows, Ure-thane Foam Operations, VermontWoodland Cabinets and most recently,Green Earth Energy. He is currently in-volved in the renovation of three build-ings at Park Village (former BrandonTraining School) which were recentlypurchased from the State of Vermont.

Kevin Birchmore, McKernon’s part-ner since the company’s inception 25years ago, has been elected to serve asincoming President. Kevin has over-seen the operational aspects of build-ing, and has gained the respect ofclients and employees because of hisknowledge of project management, fastbuild, and his conscientious approachtoward the environment. Birchmore

grew up in Vermont, and received hiseducation locally. He is married to Lyn-da Birchmore and they have a son,Hunter. He is an avid golfer, hascoached Little League, and enjoys boat-ing and snowmobiling.

The McKernon Group is makingsome important changes. Recognizingthe effect the economy has had on thebuilding profession, Kevin is awarethat new approaches are needed. Heplans to make good use of the compa-ny’s strengths in order to “build betterfor less”. Birchmore said that McKer-non plans to be involved in small jobsas well as building the client’s “homeof choice”. His plan is to make renova-

tions and new build more affordable tothe average homeowner by design, ef-ficient construction and streamliningoverhead costs. He will keep the cur-rent, well established high standardsthat he and McKernon have set up, andwill continue to expand the energy ef-ficient building systems that are cur-rently in place.

Another area of expansion includesthe potential training of personnel forhistoric preservation work. As a spe-cialized division of the building indus-try, it requires skilled craftsmen and acommitment to renovating the land-scape in a deliberate and responsibleway.

It turns out, in researching for this week’s column,that I had remembered a quote about church educa-tion incorrectly: “Bring us the child at seven and

we’ll have him for life.” The correct quote, from St. FrancisXavier, said, “Give me the child for the first seven yearsand I’ll give you the man.”

Either way, in my own case, I’m a product of public edu-cation; like my peers, I can’t quite figure out what’s hap-pened to it since those primitive days of grotesquely largeclass sizes, abusive teacher-administered discipline, obses-sive focus on basics, humiliating mandatory chalkboardperformances, constant testing, and, of course, bring-your-own-lunch-to-school-or-starve-at-noon.

One clue comes from the eminently quoteable AlbertShanker, erstwhile president of the American Federation ofTeachers: “When school children start paying union dues,that’s when I’ll start representing the interest of schoolchildren.”

Less well known: “A lot of people who have been hiredas teachers are basically not competent” and never-even-offered, any Shankerism on modern students who succeedat refusing to learn anything that can be written on achalkboard by “tuning out”, a skill even some adults canmaster. His comment on the public education system—”we’ve got a lemon factory and it’s turning out 80-85 per-cent lemons”— isn’t shared by modern educators (thinkRutland superintendent Moran) who proclaim their “excel-lence” as a daily talking point, and it’s factually inaccu-rate: the non-proficiency rate in math and reading isn’tany more than a mere average 67 percent, according to theFederal National Assessment of Educational Progress tests,which are so despised by educators that all States exceptone have adopted their own purchased substitutes, onwhich their students produce remarkably better results.From this states-rights-in-testing demand, you might as-sume that educators similarly oppose national curriculumstandards, but you’d be wrong.

They’re (we’re) in favor, says National Education Associ-ation President Dennis van Roekel, commenting on themost recent of a series of “reforms” installed to make up

for the bad old days of my youth, when we actually memo-rized multiplication tables, Shakespearean quotes, and his-torical dates for future reference. Think reform/innova-tions like new math, creative selling, the multi-gradedclassroom (old one-room schools not included, thank you)and, in some lucky districts, the campaign against phonicsfor reading and for Ebonics for speech. I caught his com-ments on C-Span, where he produced some Roekelisms ofnear-Shankerian proportions. Here’s one: present budgetconstraints are producing “classrooms of 40-45 studentsacross the country”. Gloriosky, Zero, why even in the hor-rific old days of my desks-nailed-to-the-floor youth, I nev-er saw a classroom with more than six rows of six-desk-chair combinations in each, and rarely more than 30 of the36 seats filled.

A California teacher-constituent called in to offer enthu-siastic agreement, offering his own economic assessment ofthe Golden State’s post-Proposition 13 funding-deprivedschools: “…taxpayers worry too much about their privatewallets and not enough about their social wallets.”

If you need a more analytical study of the subject, tryauthor Robert Kuttner; his book-length study is aptly enti-tled “The Revolt of the Haves”. It offers the same conclu-sion: willfully inadequate taxpayer performance.

To be fair and balanced ( a little lingua Vulpinorum there)here’s a Roekelism which, like some of the aboveShankerisms, so easy to comprehend that even a parentcan do it: an ardent plea for more parental involvement.Saint Francis would doubtless have approved; he said soindirectly. As I’ve reported in earlier columns in this space,I and my peers were intensively parentally pre-K’d in thebad old days, a grounding in the Three R’s which, it waslater pointed out to us by contemporary educational pro-fessionals, was a grave child-raising error when we soughtto do the same for our own kids a generation later. Mr. vanRoekel chose not to discuss that teacher-to-parent don’t-even-think-about-pre-K-ing-your-kid demand of the ‘60s(now thrown down the educational policy memory-holefor permanent it-never-happened status) during his C-Span interview. Just an unfortunate shortage of on-airtime, which I suppose he greatly regretted.

And here’s anotherRoekelism, so long and con-voluted that I have spacehere only for a brief summa-ry: as the NEA Prez, he of-fers his fervent support forthis Educational Reform:teacher evaluation based onstudent achievement, as wasrecently voted in by his Dis-trict of Columbia chaptermembership. The D.C.schools are statistically fa-mous for the clear relation-ship they demonstrate be-tween spending andachievement (unfortunately, it’s an inverse one, but wewon’t review that in detail) and less well known for theCapitol Hill and White House parents who, fearing abu-sive over-crowding (average class size in D.C. is lowest inthe nation at 10, but clearly still tragically under-staffed)have reluctantly exercised school choice: to seek privateinstruction for their descendants instead of the HoraceMann model. The DC teachers, it turns out, are so enthusi-astic about performance-based evaluation that they’re de-lighted to throw years-of-experience and degrees-accumu-lated salary-step design under the bus, pay-scale-wise, andare eager to do so for a mere $81 thousand average annualsalary, a modest 21 percent increase from the present $67Kor so. Efficiency and productivity have their price, andthey’re (we’re) worth it.

A day later, another educator showed up on C-Span:Paula Verger, president and CEO of the Public Broadcast-ing System. She opined at some length on her visits toclassrooms where—oh, the inhumanity!—chairs and deskswere still archaically arranged in rows, and on the essen-tial necessity of re-arranging the (deck) chairs (on the edu-cational RMS Titanic, I wondered?) so that children couldlearn via electronic game technology in collaborativemode. But then I tuned out. It was so easy even a parentcould do it.

My campaign for Secre-tary of State is aboutstrengthening the economyand reducing the tax burdenby making governmentmore innovative, efficient,productive and valuable.

Ultimately, it’s the energyand imagination of entrepre-neurs that will ensure oureconomy emerges from theGreat Recession strongerand more resilient. For gov-ernment to be a more valu-able partner in growing theeconomy it must recognize itis the junior partner (hencethe term “public servant”)and embrace the nimble andcreative mindset that suc-cessful enterprise thrivesupon.

The Secretary of State hasan opportunity, and an obli-gation, to lead by example.We must rethink, revitalizeand reform policies and sys-tems throughout state gov-ernment. The days of meas-uring the productivity ofgovernment based onspending must end.

As Secretary of State, Iwill demonstrate how gov-ernment can provide better,more efficient and less cost-ly services—real results thatimprove outcomes and re-duce reliance on taxpayers.I’ll start by simplifying andstreamlining the businessregistration, professional li-censing and regulatory func-tions of the Secretary ofState’s office. But we can’tstop there. This transforma-

tion must occur all acrossstate government.

When I was commissionerof the Department ofForests, Parks and Recre-ation, we were confrontedwith the realities of a declin-ing economy. Under myleadership, the Departmentembraced a bold new entre-preneurial approach toproblem solving in govern-ment. We focused on gener-ating economic activity andreducing reliance on taxpay-ers. We were agile and in-novative—capable of adapt-ing quickly and in ways thatimprove service and maxi-mize efficiency and produc-tivity. The results were sig-nificant.

In just 19 months, FPR re-duced General Fund taxpay-er financed spending bymore than 30 percent (morethan $2 million); increasedproductivity by streamlin-ing processes; and mini-mized reliance on taxpayerswhile maximizing the valueof every tax dollar invested.

Moreover, timber salesconducted by private log-gers increased 28 percent.More than 1,300 cords of fuelwood was made availablefor Vermonters last year, in-cluding 900 cords from the“cut your own” roadside lotprogram; and the number ofsites on state land availableto maple sugar producersmore than doubled.

To further reduce relianceon taxpayers, we worked

hard to increase park atten-dance. We expanded use ofInternet-based communica-tions tools; revitalized ourWeb site; created customer-centric online purchasingand reservation tools; andadded innovative new pro-grams like “Check Out theParks” library passes, whichallows Vermonters to bor-row a park pass the sameway you borrow a librarybook. We also embarked ona record-setting $8.1 millioncapital construction pro-gram that is creating hun-dreds of private sector con-struction jobs across thestate, revitalizing the parksystem and improving theguest experience.

Last summer, park visits(and local economic activi-ty) increased nearly 10 per-cent—despite extraordinari-ly chilly and wet weather inJune and July. Reservationsfor this season continue totrend upward. Most impor-tantly, these efforts have putthe system on a path to elim-inate its reliance on taxpay-ers.

This progress wasn’t easy.But FPR fought back againstthe recession and demon-strated that government canbe innovative, less costlyand a true partner to privatesector economic activity.

More to the point, this rep-resents a cultural shift inpublic management that cantake hold in every area ofgovernment. And we need it

to. We need innovative lead-

ers who understand thatthere’s no better way to bal-ance the state budget than togrow the economy; there’sno better social programthan a good job; and there’sno better way to achievethese outcomes than byproving that governmentcan, in fact, do considerablymore with significantly less.

That is why I am runningfor Secretary of State; and Iwould be very grateful foryour support.

Here at Little City Cycles we try to recycle and reuse everything we can in the bike world. We are more of a bike factory that builds to peoples wishes so that they can have a bike that they will ride. The most important thing to us is that the bike be ridden. If this happens, then everything else falls into place. After a year of being in business, it is clear that the Vergennes area has and does need a bike shop. We really appreciate the support I have gotten from the community of bikers with needs out there, nice people and lots of bikes to fix. Even our first bike swap in the rain was a success and we look forward to next year’s.

Why I’m running for Secretary of State

By Frederick Pockette

It is playoff time again for spring high school sports, andnumerous some local teams were competing last weekend inquest of that rare treasure for the high school athlete, a statechampionship. Below you will find a wrap up of who wasstill alive, and how they fared this past weekend.

The softball playoffs began the week of June 1st and lastweekend were in their quarterfinals round. The semifinalswere to be play this past week (our deadline for this paperwas last Tuesday morning) with the state championshipsscheduled for this weekend. Here is your breakdown for lo-cal teams.

Division I:The only local team in this field, the eleventh seeded

Champlain Valley Union Redhawks, were eliminated in thefirst round, on Wednesday, June 2nd by the sixth seeded Rut-land Raiders.

Division II:The third seeded Middlebury Tigers had a disappointing,

early exit from the tournament in the quarterfinals last Fri-

day night, in Middlebury. Kylie Pratt tossed a three hitshutout at the hometown Tigers to lead her Lamoille Lancersto an exciting 1-0, eight inning win over the Tigers. In hereight innings of work Pratt had 11 strikeouts and no walksin a superb performance. If that wasn’t enough, it was Pratt’seighth inning infield hit that plated the games lone run.

Lea Gipson, who went 2-for-3, took the loss for Middle-bury Gipson was the other end of a superb pitchers duel. Indefeat Gipson allowed no earned runs and allowed just onehit while striking out 10 and issuing no walks. The Tigersend their season at 10-7.

The fourth seeded Mount Abraham Eagles didn’t faremuch better last Saturday in their quarterfinal match upwith the fifth seeded Harwood Highlanders. Harwood’sHannah Lovely’s two-run single was the major blow in Har-wood’s three run seventh inning, turning a 2-2 game into a5-2 game. Al ead which Harwood held onto in the bottom ofthe seventh to secure the win, and a spot in the division IIsemifinal. Lovely had three hits and scored a run to lead theHighlanders offense. But she didn’t do it alone. Katelyn Dur-fee added a double with two runs and Anna Benard con-

tributed another two hits for Harwood. Morgan Lamsonpocked up the complete game for the win, striking out ninewhile allowing two runs on six hits.

Alyssa Charbonneau and losing pitcher Erin Fay led theEagles offense with two hits apiece. Mount Abraham, likethe Tigers wind up 10-7 on the year.

Division III:In Division team, the lone local representative were the

eleventh seeded Vergennes Commodores, and they didn‘tlast long. The Commodores were defeated on Wednesday,June 2 by the sixth seeded Green Mountain Chieftains..

BaseballThe baseball playoffs also began the week of June 1st and

last weekend were in their quarterfinals round. The semifi-nals were to be played this past week (our deadline for thispaper was last Tuesday morning) with the state champi-onships scheduled for this weekend. Here is your break-down for local teams.

Division I:The tenth seeded Champlain Valley Union Redhawks were

eliminated in the opening round. They were defeated by theseventh seeded Spaulding Crimson Tide on Tuesday, June1st.

Division II:In this division the Vergennes Commodores and Middle-

bury Tigers saw early exits, but the Mount Abraham Eaglesnot only played last weekend, but survived to reach thesemifinals. The seventh seeded Vergennes Commodoreswere upset in the opening round by the tenth seeded MiltonYellow Jackets on Wednesday, June 2nd. The Commodoresend their season at 7-10. The sixteenth seeded MiddleburyTigers lost on Tuesday, June 1st to the top seeded MountAbraham Eagles, to finish 1-16 on the season.

The win for the Eagles set up a quarterfinals match-up lastFriday against the eighth seeded Springfield Cosmos. ShawnMarcelle personally made sure his Eagles would win thisone, leading them to a 4-1 win. At the plate Marcelle blast-ed a pair of doubles. He was helped offensively by RyanSiegle and Micky O’Connor, who each had a pair of hits. Oneof Siegle’s two hits was a double, and he drove in two of theEagles four runs.

Marcelle took care of the rest on the mound. He picked upthe complete game win, allowing one run on just two hitswith nine strikeouts. The Eagles had a semifinals date withthe thirteenth seeded Union-32 Raiders this past Tuesday. Ifthey won then they will be playing for a Division II StateChampionship this weekend.

LacrosseThe lacrosse playoffs, both boys and girls, also began the

week of June 1st and last weekend were in their quarterfi-nals round. The semifinals were to be played this past week(our deadline for this paper was last Tuesday morning) withthe state championships scheduled for this weekend. Hereis your breakdown for Rutland County teams.

Division I Boys:You could certainly make an argument that the only area

team in this field is also the best one. The top seeded, 15-1,Champlain Valley Union Redhawks certainly have donenothing to sway that argument so far this post season. Afterreceiving a first round bye the Redhawks hosted the eighthseeded Spaulding Crimson Tide last Friday in the quarterfi-nals. The Tide didn’t put up much of a challenge.

Nick Hart had four goals and a pair of assists as Cham-plain Valley put a 14-4 beating on the Crimson Tide. TaylorGingras joined the fun, matching Hart’s four goals.Nathaniel Wells contributed two goals and an assist to theonslaught, while Robbie Dobrowski, Nick Spencer, JustinBeaudry and Quinn Kropf added single goals to round outthe Redhawks scoring. In the net Sean Keenan and EricPalmer racked up 16 saves between them.

Torrey Kelty led what meager offense the Tide couldmuster with two goals and one assist. Tory Chouinard andCodie Lawson had single goals to complete Spaulding’sscoring. Goalie Charlie Nor-way made a dozen saves forthe Crimson Tide, who windup the year at 9-9..

The Redhawks werescheduled to ace a tough,fourth seeded, RutlandRaiders squad this past Tues-day. If they won that onethen they will be competingthis weekend for a Division IState Championship.

Division I Girls:After last weekend one of

the areas two teams in thisfield were eliminated. Thatteam was the tenth seededChamplain Valley UnionRedhawks. They were elimi-nated in the opening round,on Wednesday June 2nd , bythe seventh seeded Brattle-boro Colonels. CVU finishedthe season at 3-11.

The second seeded Mid-dlebury Tigers girls squadthen hosted those same Brat-tleboro Colonels in the quar-terfinals last Friday, and itwas a task that the Colonelsweren’t up to. Chrissy Ritterscored six goals and KatieRitter added five more, lead-ing Middlebury to a 16-10win, and a spot in the Divi-sion II semifinals.

Liz Kelley and SaigeTwombly contributed anoth-er two goals apiece and Shel-by Laframboise added onemore to round out the scor-ing for the victorious Tigers.Alex Sears and Maria Plooftook care of the net for Mid-dlebury, making 8 saves be-tween them..

Sarah Clark, MariahLesure, Kelsey Guarino andErin Leblanc had a pair ofgoals each for the Colonelswho wind up the year at 11-6-1. Middlebury played thethird seeded South Burling-ton Rebels this past Tuesday.If they won that one, thenthey will be playing for theDivision I State Champi-onship this weekend.

Division II Boys:The only 2 Addison Coun-

ty teams in this field wereeliminated on Wednesday,June 2nd in the openinground. The eleventh seededMount Abraham Eagles wereeliminated by the sixth seed-ed Lamoille Lancers, and fin-ish the season at 5-11. Thesame afternoon in SouthBurlington the fourteenthseeded Vergennes Com-modores were eliminated byRice. Vergennes finishes theyear at 1-15.

Iarrived at the Shelburne Museum ear-ly in the afternoon last Friday for theAlison Krauss concert there. The tick-

ets stated clearly that the concert was tobegin at 2:30 p.m. In reality, the gates didnot actually open until 2:30 p.m., and thefirst of four or five warm-up groups didnot come on until nearly 3 p.m.

What everyone presumed, and I base thisconclusion on the vocalized comments onpeople sitting around me, is that the warm-up act would take the stage at the ticketedtime and Krauss and Union Station wouldtake the stage around 4 p.m., performingmaybe until 5:30 p.m.

What happened was quite different, tosay the least. It turns out we were in themiddle of a bluegrass festival, and that wewere to sit through a series of groups—whether there were four groups before Ali-son Krauss and Union Station or five I amunsure—finally leaving the museumgrounds at about 10:30 p.m. There is no ar-gument about the quality of the perform-ance groups—they were all terrific —butafter about seven or eight hours, you maywonder exactly how much of what you arelistening to is making a positive impres-sion?

But enough kvetching—except here’s mycritic’s advice to Ben and Jerry’s: howabout the briefest of programs with somenotation indicating the possible length ofthe program?

I wish I could tell you the names of fouror five groups that preceded Krauss andUnion Station, but I’m not able to do so.All of them were proponents of bluegrass,and as such they represented everythingfrom true bluegrass grit to a more sophisti-cated crossover music which Krauss andUnion Station represented as did one othergroup. I also liked the very first group

who’s leadsinger was awoman whoturned out agreat and re-ally genuineversion of“Me andBobbyMcGee” andthe next tothe lastgroup thathad awoman bassplayer wasterrific.

I spent ten of the shortest hours of mylife at a bluegrass festival at the ShelburneMuseum last Friday, but it was ten hours,and I have the burned knees to prove it.

Sunday, June 6, at 8:30 p.m., I was at Fly-nnSpace for the beginnings of the DiscoverJazz Festival 2010 concert series. The groupwas pianist-composer Mose Allison withbassist and drummer.

Allison, now age 82, recently released hisfirst album in 10 years, and he includedsome material found that most recent al-bum. However, much of the material forthe evening was actually from the 1940sand 1950s.

The material from that time was not tak-en from the Great American Songbook, butwere pieces written, probably withoutlyrics, for jazz musicians to perform.

Lyrics for the more recent pieces weremore satirical and more topical. It was in-teresting to hear Allison play and sing—rather like finding jazz’s missing link.

Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Ten-nessee.
