Director Art Jones and Bruce Bouchard, executive direc-tor of the Paramount Theatre, announced last week that thefeature-length Rutland-focused documentary, "The Blood inthis Town" will be presented in a "Sneak Preview to Benefitthe Paramount Theatre" on Saturday, Oct. 23, at 6:30 p.m.
There will be two additional "Sneak Previews" at 1:30 p.m.and 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24. Proceeds will benefit The Para-mount.
"The Blood in this Town" is a 95-minute documentarychronicling Rutland's drive to revitalize itself during Amer-ica's deep economic crisis.
The film uses the town's record-breaking Gift-of-LifeMarathon blood drive to explore how a struggling, post-in-dustrial town can revive itself from the grassroots up. Frominitiatives like the Rutland Creative Economy and the cre-ation of a year-round Farmers' Market to entrepreneurial
startups and the building of a world-class trail system inPine Hill Park, Rutland shows how a community's determi-nation and true-grit creativity can provide a way forwardfor thousands of struggling towns across America.
"The film shows sides of Rutland that many people maynot even realize exist," said Jones. “Rutland, despite somebig challenges, has an amazing range of imaginative, ener-getic people who are not waiting around for change to cometo them. More and more, they are uniting, putting politicaland other differences aside to work together for the good ofthe town. That’s something this nation as a whole can learnfrom, and should know about.”
The documentary was filmed over seven months - fromDecember 2009 to the summer of 2010 - covering the day-long action of last year's dramatic Gift-Of-Life Marathon, arange of dynamic community initiatives, and day-to-day lifein town. The film was crafted from over 52 hours of footageand 40 individual interviews.
The film was made by Art Jones of Great Jones Produc-tions in New York. Jones is a veteran filmmaker who beganhis work in documentaries on PBS’s "Frontline" in the 1980s.Since 1991, he has headed Great Jones Productions—writ-ing, directing and producing documentary-based films for ahost of educational, cultural and corporate clients, includ-ing IBM, Merck, YMCA and Time Warner—thereby creatinga funding engine for the development of documentary andnarrative films.
The Oct. 23 sneak preview to benefit the Paramount The-atre will include a pre-film cocktail hour (6:30-7:30 p.m.), ashort pre-film discussion, the sneak preview (7:45 p.m.) anda talk and Q&A session afterward with Jones. Tickets are $25.Tickets for the Oct. 24 showings at 1:30 and 4 p.m. are $6 foradults and $4 for children.
Tickets go on sale, Friday morning Sept. 24, at the Para-mount Box Office, at www.paramountlive.org or 802-775-0903. The film's website is www.bloodinthistown.com.

“A single kilometer-wide band of geosynchronous Earth orbit experi-ences enough solar flux in one year to nearly equal the amount of energycontained within all known recoverable conventional oil reserves on Earthtoday.” – U.S. Pentagon’s National Security Space Office, 2007
Most people think solar energy is best collected on theEarth. Actually, it makes more sense to collect sunpower in Earth orbit and then beam the energy home
via microwaves.Orbiting comsats, even manned spacecraft, have used solar
power since the 1960s. However, if you’re going beyond the orbitof Mars, it makes much more sense to use nuclear power sources,but we’ll corral our discussion to collecting the vast amount ofsunlight falling on near Earth space with orbiting solarsats.
The idea of solarsats has been around since the 1950s, but withthe price of oil rising steadily and fears of peaceful nuclear powergeneration here on terra firms, the 21st century may become thecentury of solarsats.
According to Jeff Keuter, president of the George C. MarshallInstitute, space-based solar power developing a string of solarsatellites around the Earth is technically feasible today, “It will re-quire a great deal of money,” he said, “but it is certainly possible.”
An average of 341 watts of solar energy falls on every squaremeter of Earth. This includes both Earth’s night side and northand south poles. Unfortunately, our atmosphere blocks a lot of theSun’s energy which is where solarsats come in to save the day.Free of Earth’s blanket of air, an orbiting fleet of solarsats couldcollect up to 5 kilowatts of energy per square meter.
A recent U.S. government study suggests that a large solarsat,providing enough energy to light several large cities the size ofBurlington, would cost $10 billion. The price tag excludesground-based infrastructure to collect the solarsat’s beamed mi-crowaves and distribute the electricity, etc.
Science writer Frazer Cain is a proponent of solarsats but evenhe recognizes the sticker-shock factor.
“There are obvious safety risks from having a huge microwavebeam striking the Earth,” he said. “And the costs of launchingand maintaining the solar satellites will be enormous. But it mightjust be the idea that keeps our energy hungry economies going af-ter the fossil fuels run out.”
But Cain has said a fully operational space-based solarsat could
be in orbit by 2020, “but that isif we started work now.”
Japan is currently spendingmillions of yen to develop a pro-totype solarsat that’s still manyyears away from flying.
“…This is a far cry from plan-ning to get full-scale operationsunderway in a little over adecade,” Cain noted.
But not everyone is acceptingthe U.S government’s inflatedestimated price tag for a so-larsat.
One new firm that is pioneer-ing space-based power is Exploration Partners, LLC of New Mex-ico and Oklahoma. The firm is a shoe-string operation but it’s oneamong a group of creative, emerging pioneers in solarsat financ-ing and development.
Formed in 2005 by pioneers Royce Jones and Tom Taylor, E.P.developed two, low-cost space-solar power satellite designs. Thedesigns were created with cost effectiveness and safety in mind.
A single E.P. solarsat could generate 100 megawatts of electricalpower. Estimated costs? How does $250 million per satellite plus$150 million to launch in low Earth orbit sound? That’s certainlylower than U.S government estimates.
According to E.P.’s Royce Jones, “The financing (for our so-larsat plan) is pretty straight forward. Each power satellite isleased to the end user. We don't sell the power generated, they do.Since the satellites are small, i.e., only 20,000 kg., and can launchon a single existing launch vehicle, they are fairly inexpensiveversus building a nuke plant. Each satellite, that we call SolarSat,can produce 100MW of power to the grid. There are two basicmarkets—the northern nations and the equatorial nations. Eachmarket will have its own constellation of satellites.”
What’s in the Sky: On Saturday, Oct. 16, you’ll have an oppor-tunity to view Jupiter’s Red Spot through a home telescope. Thegiant swirling 400-year-old Jovian hurricane will transit around8:19 p.m.

Some pretentious folks at the modern theoretical end of ac-tual architectural and engineering construction like to de-ploy the lofty phrase “the built environment” as they
evaluate the results of real practitioners’ design efforts. At the classical theoretical end, the ancient Roman engineer
and architect Vitruvius was more straight forward. The work, hewrote, must have three qualities: firmness (no Kansas City hotelsky-walk collapses); commodity (no multi hundreds-of-dollars-per-square-foot donor named collegiate extravagances), and de-light (no Frank Gehry randomly distorted crushed-tin-can ap-pearances).
Neither Vitruvius nor the modernists theorized about the roleof user behavior, although it was the basis of Coliseum designthen and Yankee Stadium now, just as roadusers were design fac-tors in both civilizations—then and now.
Consider the Roman-road speed bump: typically misidentifiedas pedestrian crossing blocks on such arteries as the Appian Way.It’s hard to believe that they were so closely-spaced and builtnearly a foot above the traveled way because of road-mud ortrash depth, and easier to believe that their height and close spac-ing were engineered to cause proto-NASCAR charioteers to re-duce speed and steer carefully for the narrow gaps to preventembarrassing and expensive wheel destruction.
Getting mobs of pedestrians into and out of a venue is a prob-lem different from getting individual vehicle drivers to their des-tinations without killing each other or wrecking their mecha-nized (or not) chariots, but it shares the necessity of guessinghow courteously (or not) their human design-users will behavetoward each other. That’s a tougher guess in highway designthan in stadium design; the latter hasn’t changed much in twomillennia; in the former, designers still don’t know and can’t reli-ably predict how members of the modern civilization will con-duct themselves.
When John Keats wrote “The Insolent Chariots” in 1958, hiscomplaint wasn’t entirely that highways were paving over toomuch grassland; it was also that motorized-chariot driversweren’t nice to each other. Starting in the ‘20s and ‘30s, when mo-torized vehicle were replacing horse-drawn ones on a large scale,highway designers couldn’t predict and design for driver behav-ior as well as Roman stadium designers could, for pedestrian be-havior. Their abilities in the soft-science end of highway designhaven’t improved since, while their skills at the hard-science en-gineering end have.
Today, epoxy-clad reinforcing steel doesn’t rust and self-de-struct in the bridge concrete, but some drivers still assault eachother at the lane merge and at the traffic circle, places where,more than the straight and open road, designers must assumesome modicum of predictable inter-driver manners. It isn’t al-ways there.
Highway engineers have done better when designing arounddriver-self-interest instinct, which explains why, while Keats waswriting his anti-auto polemic, the site planners of the NewSeabury residential development on Cape Cod deliberately flout-ed standard practice and made the roads narrow, curvy, andbumpy: to keep speeds down. Today it’s called the design-speedprinciple, and it’s based on the fairly reliable fact that driverswon’t do 70 where they can’t see stopping distance ahead. Incontrast, standard practice (on the Interstates, for example), callsfor design speeds well in excess of 100 and government thenhires ticket-issuers to profit from punishing the designed-for be-havior.
Highway designers used to be more sanguine about driver
manners than they are today:thus, when I first saw a state-of-the-art auto road built in the‘20’s on the Eastern Shore ofMaryland, I understood thatthe design intent for the pavedconcrete center lane, flanked oneach side by a gravel lane, wasthat drivers would courteouslymove off the higher-speed sur-face when they saw a car com-ing. It proved to be overly opti-mistic.
Thirty years later, in Massachusetts, the gravel lanes were con-cretized, but it still didn’t work: the center lane then was called“the suicide lane”.
Today, some of the Interstate on-ramps display “yield” signageand some don’t, and in some parts of the Heartland right-lanedrivers move over, signage or not, to accommodate entrants,while coastal-State and urban drivers mostly don’t. (Historicalnote: in 1913 Wisconsin adopted a yield-to-right rule, giving legalpriority to the on-ramp charioteers. It hasn’t survived.)
The traffic circle has survived in Mark Twain fashion (reportsof its death have been greatly exaggerated) and in its modern in-carnations is labeled variously as rotary (larger central circle) orroundabout (smaller central circle).
Rotaries were part of a highway subcourse in urban planningwhen I was in the halls-of-ivy classroom. We were instructed thatthe gyratoire was a brilliant French engineering innovation in theearly 20th century. Why, it functioned perfectly around the Placede l’Etoile—the Arc de Triomphe site in Paris—and was in mid-century disfavor in the U.S. only because Anglo-Saxon driverswere inherently less civilized than their Gallic betters.
As you can now see in a simple web search, the then-unchal-lengeable academic Francophilia doctrine was—shall we say—misinformed. The first traffic circle, of roundabout dimensions,actually preceded the French rotary by three years when it wasbuilt by Americans in New York City’s Columbus Circle (get it?)in 1904. It’s still there.
Apparently, the original French word isn’t a la mode any more;the preferred new one is rond-point.
As for the modern gyratoire in les montagnes verdes, its firstdesign attempt, some five years ago on Shelburne Street in down-town Burlington, has suffered a post-conception pre-birth (tem-porary?) abortion.
The second, now in downtown Middlebury, has apparentlysurvived the choice process which terminated its sibling; it willsoon be on the ground north of the new Cross Street Bridge. Howwell will this rotary perform?
Well, that depends on the inherent courtesy/civilization levelof its users. Given that Middlebury is more Europhile in generaland Francophile, in particular, than your quintessential old-Ver-mont town of East Overshoe—and that the local drivers cantherefore be expected by the highway designers to be more un-derstandably and predictably courteous to each others and to vis-itors than mere ordinary Americans—its performance shouldplease its designers, taxpayers, and charioteers.
As the French say: “Alors, mes amis, nous verrons ce que nous ver-rons.”

The Vermont Department for Chil-dren and Families announced lastweek that Vermont has been awardedtaxpayer funds from the U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Human Services tosupport pregnant and parenting teens.These funds, approximately $3 millionover the next three years, will be usedby DCF, in partnership with ParentChild Centers, to expand access to theLearning Together program through-out the state.
Learning Together is an intensive,interpersonal parent training program
that focuses on six components: on-the-job training, counseling, academ-ics, parenting, job readiness, and inter-personal skills. Each participant is as-signed a case manager to link her toother supports such as child care,health care, and housing.
“The Learning Together Program hasshown positive results for teen moth-ers and their children,” said DCF Com-missioner Steve Dale. “By providingteen parents and parents-to-be with theskills and support they need to suc-ceed, we can expect to see improved
health outcomes for mothers and theirbabies, as well as increased levels ofparent education.”
“This is a fabulous opportunity forVermont to take Learning Together tothe next level,” said Lee Lauber, exec-utive director of the Family Center inVermont. “We are delighted that thefederal funders recognized the successof our partnership with DCF, and weknow these funds will make a pro-found difference in the lives of Ver-mont families.”

‘Kostka Walk’ inWest Rutland
The St. Bridget and St. Stanislaus Kostka Religious Edu-cation classes are sponsoring the annual Kostka Walk forHunger on Sunday, Oct. 17. The walk begins at 10 a.m. fromSt. Bridget Church and proceeds through the center of WestRutland. The goal of the Kostka Walk is to raise awarenessabout the need for food in the community.
All monetary and food donations will go directly to theWest Rutland Food Shelf. Donations can be dropped off atSt. Bridget Church on Sunday until noon. All are welcometo participate in the walk.
The walk takes its name from St. Stanislaus Kostka who,as a young man of 17, walked from Vienna to Rome to ful-fill his dream of becoming a priest. He took nothing withhim, and relied on the generosity of others to provide himwith food along his journey. In the same way, the KostkaWalk is a symbol of our hope that others’ generosity willfeed those in need.
Since opening on Jan. 31, 2009, the West Rutland FoodShelf has served several thousand individuals from WestRutland and beyond. The Shelf, under the direction of TonyMorgan, is in great need of food during these difficult eco-nomic times.
During the 2009 walk, over 500 food items were collect-ed, and sponsors contributed $1,524 to the food shelf.
St. Bridget Church is located at 28 Church St., off Pleas-ant Street in West Rutland.
For more information, or to participate in the KostkaWalk, contact the St. Bridget rectory at 438-2490.
Vermont income taxes:in the middle of the pack
A new 50-state analysis of state income taxes by Public As-sets Institute shows that Vermont ranks in the middle of statesin the rest of the country. While much has been made of Ver-mont’s high tax rates, the amount taxpayers actually pay in Ver-mont is lower than in many other states because of deductionsand other adjustments and the state’s progressive rate struc-ture. This analysis looked at the total income taxes paid in eachstate in 2008 and divided it by the total adjusted gross income(AGI)—that is, income before deductions and other adjust-ments.
Using this “effective tax rate” measure, Vermont was no. 23among states when they were ranked highest to lowest. Forty-three states levy a personal income tax; seven do not.
“We hear a lot about Vermont’s top income tax rate, which isrelatively high because Vermont has a long traditional of pro-gressive income taxes. Those who get the greatest financial ben-efit from society’s public structures are expected to contributethe most to maintaining them,” said Paul Cillo, president of thePublic Assets Institute. “But few people pay that top rate be-cause it applies only to taxable income above about $372,000,after deductions and exemptions have been subtracted.
“If we want to see how Vermont’s income tax stacks upagainst the other states, the most straightforward way is to lookat the amount Vermonters actually pay and divide it by theiradjusted gross income, which is based on federal tax laws andis, therefore, the same for every state.”
The Public Assets report shows that Vermont’s effect tax ratewas 3.9 percent in 2008. Among the states with an income tax,the effective rates ranged from 0.2 percent in Tennessee to 7.0percent in Oregon.
“Because we have progressive income tax rates, people in thehigher income brackets have an effective tax rate that is high-er than 3.9 percent; the rate is lower for those in the lower brack-ets,” Cillo said. “How taxes are distributed is an important con-sideration. But it’s also useful to look at how much of Ver-monters’ income goes to pay state income taxes, and how thatstacks up against other states.”
Another common method of state tax comparison is to lookat all taxes collected within a state—taxes paid by residents aswell as those paid by businesses and non-residents. The U.S.Census used to publish annual reports calculating state taxesor state and local taxes on a per capita basis. However, the cen-sus stopped issuing those reports, explaining that they pre-sented a distorted picture for states, such as tourist states, thatcollect a lot of revenue from non-residents.
An annual report published by the District of Columbia andtwo studies done by the Vermont Legislature’s Joint Fiscal Of-fice compare the taxes typical Vermonters pay with taxpayersin other states. The D.C. study compares the amounts paid bytaxpayers in the largest city in each state. According to latestD.C. study, Vermont—as represented by typical Burlingtonfamilies—falls in the middle when it comes to taxes paid as apercentage of income.
The legislature made modest tax changes in the last twoyears, a blue ribbon commission is studying the state’s taxstructure, and taxes are likely to come up again in next year’sbudget discussions. The state income tax is the largest sourceof state General Fund revenue. The tax generated $622.3 mil-lion in fiscal 2008, which was 52 percent of all General Fund re-ceipts.

The more familiar, capable and relaxed a postal clerkis with her daily counter activities, the more intri-cate a transaction she can handle—the fewer mis-
takes she’ll be liable to make.A baseball batter relaxed, prepared—and confident with
his abilities and knowledge of a pitcher—can point towhere he’ll hit the ball without upsetting his concentrationand hit the ball.
A hunter, in shape, who has spent countless years scout-ing the woods and many hours sighting in a rifle, canbreathe easy while drawing bead and gently squeezing the trigger.
An actor needs to know the lines cold, inside out, to be free enough to elevate a per-formance beyond simply saying lines and hitting marks. The better prepared, the moretime put in—not just on the part at hand, but on the craft in general—the more relaxedthe actor can be; the more natural ability and talent will surface to bring special levels ofbeauty and integrity to the performance.
NASCAR driver Tony Stewart said, that at times during races, he is so relaxed that hismind often wanders from anything but the fact that he’s traveling 200 mph into a 30-de-gree banked turn with 42 other drivers. That’s relaxed!
On stage the other night, spoutin’ a riff I’ve run hundreds and hundreds of times, mymind wandered. It was not about baking a carnival squash with butter, nutmeg, maplesyrup and cinnamon. It was not about diving into a pool full of vanilla cupcakes iced withchocolate. It was not about world peace, or Cuban cigars, or how good it feels shoe horn-ing your thin socked foot into a leather loafer. It was not about lower taxes for everyone,even rich people (I like rich people even though it seems it’s not cool today to admirethem)... No, when my mind wandered on stage it wandered to a wonder, which was—isthere any difference between otters and beavers?
So smack in the middle of a riff I stopped and asked the audience: 1. Is there any differ-ence between otters and beavers, and 2. If so, what are the differences?
A gal sitting stage left two rows back raised her hand. I called on her and she com-menced to blather about otters and beavers, revealing only slight differences. Yet one bitof information stuck out. She said “beavers are venomous.”
“Really,” I toned “they’re Republicans?”She also said otters live on land, beavers don’t. When I
queried about why otters would have a beaver-like tail ifthey lived on land she said only “Well, they do swim, butthey don’t live in the water.” So there.
Satisfied with the gal’s information—albeit a bit sad tolearn beavers are venomous, because I’ve always thoughtI’d try to pet one if I got close enough—I continued theshow.
A few days later I received the following e-mail message:
Hi Rusty,
We caught your show last Friday night in Brandon and loved it (as
usual). Thanks for the many yuks.
You asked the audience for the difference between beavers and otters. I
don't know if you were serious or goofing, but I didn't respond because,
frankly, I didn't want to become part of the show! But in case you really
wanted to know:
•Beavers are rodents (yes, rodents, Order Rodentia), and thus related
to squirrels, mice, porcupines, and other such critters. They have big inci-
sors that they use to cut down trees, which they use to build their dams
and lodges, and which they also eat. And beavers are NOT venomous, re-
gardless of what the cute 20 year old in the front row said. I think she's
spent too much time on the Internet and not enough in reality.
•Otters are carnivores (Order Carnivora), and more specifically Family
Mustelidae, which means they are closely related to weasels, skunks,
minks, fisher cats (not actually cats, by the way), martens, and the like.
In contrast to tree-eating beavers, they eat fish, crayfish, mussels, small
mammals, and the like.
So, despite both living mostly in the water, beavers and otters are
VERY different critters ecologically as well as how they are classified by
my fellow egghead zoologists.
If you really wanted to know, there you have it. And if you didn't ...
well, you shouldn't have asked!
Keep 'em laughing—we need more of that in this crazy world!
Cheers,
Otto Beavestein
(name changed to protect)
Otters and beavers are way more different than I’d haveguessed. And after clicking on Wikipedia on the Internet tostudy up more about otters and beavers, I’d like add apostscript to Otto Beavestein’s letter: a male otter is calleda dog otter while the female otter is called a bitch otter.
It’s a man’s world, man.

A long history of service
I don’t come from a family trust fund or a lifetime of high salary jobs; I’ve had to work hard all my life. That history has guided my approach to state government, particularly in this last legislative session. Even after 12 years in the state Legislature, I still have trouble saying “only” and “million” in the same sentence. With your support on November 2, I’d like to keep that frugal perspective in Montpelier.

In a toughone to swal-low, the Wind-sor HighSchool girls'soccer team re-cently let oneslip away, giv-ing up a onegoal lead in the second half and lettingthe Bellows falls Terriers slip, awaywith their first win of the season, 2-1, inWestminster.
The loss dropped Windsor to 2-7 onthe season, as they continue to fightthrough injuries in search of a playoffberth, which would take a minimum ofthree wins to make happen.
Coming into the match, however,both teams resembled M*A*S*H units,as the Lady Yellow Jackets were withoutthree players including Tierra Huntleyand Nikki White, and the Terriers with-out four, including sharp-shooter SaraDumont, who holds out hope of return-ing for the tournament if her team canfind a way to get there.
The injuries showed early in this oneas neither team could do much in thefirst 10 minutes but as luck would haveit, Windsor actually scored their onlygoal just 30 seconds into the match,when a Terrier defender tried to clear aball out of the box only to have it deflectoff Yellow Jacket forward Aminah Oro-gi and past B.F. keeper Enny Mustapha.
The Yellow Jackets certainly had theirchances to extend their lead, however,including two quality shots from TeganColey, one of which just cleared thecrossbar and another point-blank shotfrom midfielder Emily Perkins thatMustapha made a nice, diving save on.The half would end with the one-goallead for Windsor but the feeling wasthat it could have been more, as the Yel-low Jackets controlled most of the play
but wasalso let-ting thewinlessLadyTerriers
hang around. In the second half, Windsor contin-
ued to put pressure on the Terriers' de-fense, but still could not bury that sec-ond goal, and as the half wore on Bel-lows Falls started gaining more andmore momentum until they finallybroke through.
With just under eight minutes left inregulation Terrier sophomore Brit Moy-na, who had been working hard the en-tire match, found herself right in frontof the goal with a loose ball and tappedit past Lady Jacket keeper Erin Rice totie the match and force over time.
The Yellow Jackets one good oppor-tunity in overtime to seal the win witha nice give-and-go, but the shot loftedjust over the crossbar. It would be thelast chance they got, as B.F. finally tookadvantage.
Just three minutes into the extra ses-sion, Lady Terrier captain KammieCrawford found herself in a crowd rightin front of the Windsor goal. "The goaliefumbled the ball a bit in the crowd,"Crawford said after the game. "Itbounced off someone right in front andI just kicked it in." While the Terrierbench emptied onto the field to cele-brate their first win of the season, it wasa tough one for Windsor to swallow, astheir record (at press time) fell to 2-7.
However, to the Lady Yellow Jacketscredit, they really did control most of
the match despite all their injury androster issues. They did a good job incontrolling the midfield and put to-gether plenty of good scoring opportu-nities, but coach Bruce MacKay's teamjust couldn't finish off the opportuni-ties. One wonders what this team couldbe capable of without all the injuries.
Windsor scores The Windsor High School field hock-
ey team recently traveled to Springfieldto take on the Lady Cosmos, scoring thelone goal early, then hanging on for a 1-0 win in Marble Valley League action.
Coming into the game at 5-2-1 on theseason, the Lady Yellow Jackets wereaggressive from the outset and carriedthe early play, forcing Springfieldgoalie Brittany Grant-Paul to make acouple early saves before Windsor'sAmanda Ashline scored the only goal ofthe game at 27:18. Ashline took a nicethrough-pass from Aleigha Sykes andslammed a low shot from 10 feet out togive her team the lead.
Windsor continued to put the pres-sure on the Cosmos defense with threeconsecutive corners, forcing Grant-Paulto make two more quick saves and keepit a one-goal game. While on the otherside of the ball, Springfield could notseem to generate any offense in the firsthalf, although seniors Maria Stern andJessie Haskell did a good job at movingthe ball out of their own zones to help
stem some of the Windsorpressure and keep the score1-0 at halftime.
Coming off a good effortagainst Mount Anthonywhich produced a tie, theLady Cosmos were looking tobuild on that momentum,however, it was not meant tobe on this day as Windsorsmothered the Springfield of-fense throughout the secondhalf. In fact, Lady Jacketkeeper Katlyn Curbs onlyneeded to make one save inthe entire game.
Windsor had several op-portunities in the second halfto extend their lead, includ-ing good shot opportunitiesfrom Holly Heath, AbigailWright and Sykes, but Cos-mos' keeper Grant-Paul,managed to keep the defend-ing Division II championsfrom netting another goal.The win pushed Windsor to(at press time) 6-2-1 on theseason while Springfielddropped to 3-4-1.

Part 1:Editor’s note: This part of an occasional series
about Bigfoot and Champ sightings in Vermontand New York.
In 1991 a popular science book, titled “TheHominid Gang: Behind the Scenes in theSearch for Human Origins” written by DeltaWillis, hit the international bestseller lists.The book told the story of paleoanthropolo-gists searching for fossil “ape men”, the an-cestors of humans, in Africa. The term “Ho-minid Gang” has been used endearinglyever since; it now collectively describes ded-icated paleo detectives searching for ourprehistoric past.
Vermont and the North Country has itsown “gang”—a gang of hominoid re-searchers; but this gang is in search of Big-foot or Sasquatch, a strange woodland “ape”long thought to be extinct.
Hominoids are members of biology’s su-perfamily of primates; it includes apes andhumans. So, based upon the details ofdozens of eyewitness accounts in New Yorkand Vermont since the 1600s, if a living (or
dead) Bigfoot creature is ever produced, itwill most likely be classified as an hominoidby science.
This region’s “Hominoid Gang” includemembers of the Northern Sasquatch Re-search Society based in Hudson Falls, N.Y.
NSRS members straddle the Vermont andNew York state line; they include FrankSiecienski, of Hubbardton, Brian Gosselin(an eyewitness to the creature), of Whitehall,Cliff South, South Glens Falls, John Pearsonand Bill Brann of Glens Falls.
Over the next several weeks, in severalparts and through the voices of NSRS re-searchers, we’ll report on several spine-tin-gling accounts about Bigfoot in our region.
L.V.: How did the Northern Sasquatch Re-search Society get started?
Brann: We organized nearly six years ago,but our mutual interest and experience withSasquatch sightings goes back 34 years-plusnow.
L.V.: Are Bigfoot sightings something newin this part of Vermont and New York:
Brann: In 1603, Samuel de Champlain re-ported several native stories aboutSasquatch sightings along the St. LawrenceRiver. The Native Americans of that time
were calling the creature the Stone Giant andHairy Wildman. In the 1700s, Robert Rogersand his Rangers were pursued by somethingin the North Woods. One of Roger ’s Rangersclaimed the creature had legs as large as“spruce logs”.
Around Rogers’ time, Indians were callingthe creature Wejua—which means “wetskin”. Settlers in Vermont in the early 1800sdescribed an animal called Old SlipperySkin or Old Wet Skin. Was it wet or greasylooking? We don’t know. But the thingknocked over settler ’s fence rails, kickedmanure piles, threw rocks, even chased cat-tle and goats.
Today, we use the western American Indi-an name, Sasquatch, even Bigfoot. And as wegot into the 1900s, we started hearing re-ports of the animal in the Adirondacks.
L.V.: What put Sasquatch on the maparound here? Was it the sighting made fa-mous by NSRS research member Brian Gos-selin, a former Whitehall police officer?
Brann: In 1976, Brian’s brother Paul Gos-selin, 18, and a friend, Marty Padick, weretraveling by auto down Abair Road inHampton, N.Y. (near the Vermont state line,across from Fair Haven), when they thought
they heard a woman screaming, perhaps be-ing molested, in the distance. They pulledover. Paul reached for his gun. He yelled,“What the hell is going on out there?” Therewas no response. Again, he yelled out. Noth-ing. They drove down Abair Road, turnedaround, and came back to the screaming site,facing the opposite way, and stopped. Bothteens looked across the field to where thescream seemed to be come from. They no-ticed movement at a nearby telephone pole.Whatever it was, it immediately started run-ning—fast—toward their vehicle. Martymust have left 50 feet of rubber on the roadas they got out of there.
L.V.: What happened next?Brann: Both guys drove into Whitehall to
report the incident to the police. But BrianGosselin, who also saw the creature shortlyafter, should tell you the rest of this account.
To be continued.Check It Out: If you’ve seen Bigfoot in your
area, have something unusual to report, or aresimply interested in learning more aboutSasquatch research in Vermont and New York,contact Bill Brann of NSRS at [email protected] or call 518-747-9134. All sight-ing information is kept strictly confidential.

Bad news for Vermont workers: A recently released MITreport shows that low-wage jobs will provide the biggestshare of Vermont employment growth through 2018. Thenew report is titled “Polarization of Job Opportunities inthe U.S. Labor Market”.
As the state and nation struggle through the worst reces-sion since the 1930s, Vermont’s 6 percent unemploymentrate and the 9.6 percent national jobless figure overshadowa decline in manufacturing jobs and other occupations thatonce supported middle-class families. Many companieshave outsourced work and facilities overseas destroyingthe lives of American workers.
Equally troubling: the employment structure in Vermontreflects a national trend.
“The structure of job opportunities (in Vermont and else-where in) the United States has sharply polarized over thepast two decades, with expanding job opportunities in bothhigh-skill, high-wage occupations and low-skill, low-wageoccupations, coupled with contracting opportunities inmiddle-wage, middle-skill white-collar and blue-collarjobs,” economist David Autor concluded in the MIT report.
In Vermont, the greatest demand, with more than 400new openings a year, will be for cashiers and homecareaides, according to an analysis using state employmentdata. Another 362 positions are expected in each of the nexteight years for retail sales. The median income for thosethree fields is $18,730, $21,130 and $22,840
The highest number of annual openings through 2018 arefor cashiers, who are paid an average of $9.57 an hour.According to the state data, 459 such positions are project-ed to open up each year.
Nursing is one of the few fields with both high demandand good pay. The projected 214 positions opening upannually for registered nurses pay an average of $30 anhour. On the other hand, home care aides are paid only $10an hour. There are 426 anticipated openings for home careaides each year, the second highest for any of the almost500 fields of work in Vermont
There are 65 types of positions that are defined as “highdemand” in Vermont, but just 10 fields are projected tohave more than 100 openings each year through 2018. Justthree of those occupations earn an average of at least $20an hour. Executive secretaries make $20 an hour on aver-age, registered nurses are paid $30 an hour, and account-ants typically earn $31 an hour.
To be considered a job in “high demand,” an occupationmust exceed both the statewide average for job creation,having at least 24 openings a year, and the statewide annu-al growth rate, measured at least 0.8 percent annually.
More than four of 10 Vermont jobs created through 2018,or 44 percent of annual openings, are classified as "lowpaying," according to the Vermont Department of Labor."Low-paying" in his analysis is classified as any positionthat earns less than $15.73 an hour, or $32,720 per year.
Some Vermont officials have been working to create jobsby reforming trade policies that would penalize U.S. com-panies that export American jobs and products, expandingbroadband service, promoting employee-ownership ofbusinesses, and encouraging major employers, and lower-ing the state’s burdensome property taxes.
