L U D L O W — E v e r y -thing old is new again, asthe “All That Jazz” movietune goes. And so it goeswith Ludlow’s outstand-ing FOLA film series atLudlow Town Hall Audi-torium. Something veryold will be new to localmovie audiences.

The FOLA film series,with help from PresidentRalph Pace, continues tobring some outstandingmotion pictures to the lo-cal big screen via its FirstThursday offerings.

Now FOLA is expand-ing it’s celluloid fair withsomething different—silent film.

“In a break with prece-dent, FOLA has an-nounced its intentions ofsponsoring two differentkinds of film genre, allwith one common fea-ture—the movies will besilent,” Pace said.

Sun boxes to sprout at Camp Plymouth State ParkBy Lou [email protected]

LUDLOW — This August, visitors to Camp Plymouth StatePark in Ludlow are in for a treat. A display of unusual “sun box-es” will sprout in various areas of the park. The unusual boxes,which will combine art and science, will appear at Camp Ply-mouth Aug 2-5.

Vermont sound artist Craig Calorusso is the man behind thesun boxes.

Calorusso was invited to bring his latest musical creation to fivestate parks for five weekends during the summer months.

“It's comprised of twenty speakers spread over a large, openlawn operating independently, each powered by the sun via so-lar panels,” according to Rochelle Skinner, sales and service man-ager of the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation.“Inside each sun box is a P.C. mother board that has a recordedmusical programmed to play continuously in a loop. Because theloops are different in length, once the piece begins they continu-ally overlap and the piece slowly evolves over time.”

Skinner said the idea is to encourage park visitors to walkaround the solar-powered speaker boxes.

“Certain speakers will be closer and, therefore, louder, so thepiece will sound different to different people in different positionsthroughout the array,” Skinner said. “Allowing the audience tomove around will create a unique experience for everyone. In ad-dition, as people wander through the speakers, they alter the com-position. Given the option, two people will take different pathsthrough the array and hear the composition differently. Sun box-es is not just one composition, but, many.”

SPRINGFIELD — The Black River and its trib-utaries are receiving more attention as concernsabout water quality grow.

BRAT, the Black River Action Team, is conduct-ing a new, all-volunteer water quality monitoringprogram that started this month. One of the prime

focuses of the group is Spoonerville Brook, a trib-utary to the Black River in North Springfield.

"It's been a long time coming,” said BRAT’s Di-rector Kelly Stettner. “The program is the resultof numerous elements coming together. ScottBradley of Aquacheck Labs, Inc in Perkinsville isdonating the testing costs of nearly half the sam-ples; the state of Vermont's water quality lab ap-proved the BRAT for a LaRosa Partnership, which

will cover the testing costs of the rest of the sam-ples.”

Stettner announced that Bill Manner, who re-cently retired to Springfield from the State ofPennsylvania's Department of EnvironmentalConservation where he was the Watershed Pro-gram Coordinator for many years, is in charge ofthe volunteer effort.

Whether she has any pit in her is debatable but she has the look of one. Lucy needs an active family or person because she is full of energy and needs to burn it off regularly, like most dogs! Our dog walking volunteers love her, our staff loves her but we all have too many dogs at home already! Look at that face! Look at the tongue yearning for a human face to wash! Won’t someone please give Lucy a chance?!

The Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) would liketo remind you that pets need special care during the hot,summer months.

When the temperature rises dogs and cats should be in-side, with air conditioning or fans, or in the shade if they'reoutside. All animals need access to lots of clean, cold waterto help them stay hydrated.

Pets can get dehydrated quickly so it's important that youkeep them cool and comfortable. Be careful not to over ex-ercise them especially when it's very hot.

The staff whotakes care of me every day has seen me warm up to them butmy new family should know that it may take quite a whilefor me to settle down and that they will have to take it slowwith me at first.

like people but when I first meet them, I give a big bark andit takes me a couple of minutes to make up my mind aboutsaying hello. I learned some basic obedience in my first homeand know how to sit and come but I need to have someoneteach me polite leash manners.

Pace said FOLA decided that it was time to remind peo-ple of just what levels of progress have taken place in themotion picture industry by sponsoring two silent movieevents at the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium.

On Saturday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m., the first FOLA silentmovie event will feature two comedies starring BusterKeaton, “The Cops” and “The Scarecrow”. MusiciansGlenn Brown of Ludlow and Judy Edwards of Spring-field will supply live background music for the films,adding a touch of authenticity to the screening events.

Both of FOLA’s screenings are considered to be hall-mark comedies of the silent era by film historians.Episodes from the centennial movie-house serial, “ThePerils of Pauline”, will be an added bonus for audiences.

Future silent classics being considered by FOLA for theautumn-winter months include “Phantom of the Opera”,“Hunchback of Notre Dame”, “Wings”, “Metropolis”, or“The Mark of Zorro”, according to Pace.

The water quality monitoring program is not inexpen-sive to operate despite the volunteer component.

“Manner is helping BRAT with water-quality monitor-ing,” according to Stettner. “As an additional element tothe volunteer sampling, we have raised money throughCleanWaterFuture.org to purchase a hand-held multi-pa-rameter water probe to begin gathering information onthe health and condition of Spoonerville Brook.”

The Spoonerville is close to the proposed site of thewaste water leach field of the North Springfield biomassincinerator, scheduled for construction in 2014, BRATstated in the release.

“We are gathering as much base-line information onthe Spoonerville Brook as we can,” said Stettner. “Thatway, if there is an impact on the water, we'll be in a bet-ter position to recognize it.”

Flynn said a Vermont State Police committee evaluatesevery incident involving taser weapons.

“Tasers afford troopers an opportunity to deescalate apotentially violent and dangerous incident without em-ploying lethal force tools in an effort to maintain publicsafety and officer safety," Flynn added. “Once a thoroughevaluation is complete, the Vermont State Police can de-termine if a change is warranted.”

Feedback training is freeto vetsFrom News & Staff [email protected]

RUTLAND — A relatively little-knowntreatment for soldiers dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is gaining somenotoriety locally.

Through a program called Homecomingfor Veterans, Rutland Neurotherapist Dr.Sharrie Hanley provides neurofeedbacktraining free of charge for veterans sufferingfrom PTSD.

Neurofeedback is essentially brain train-ing.

It’s been around for some 30 years, and isnow gaining acceptance as a way to help in-dividuals suffering from anxiety, depres-sion, ADHD and other disorders by teachingthe brain to self-regulate better.

Neurofeedback has also shown positiveresults in the training of brains that havebeen diagnosed with PTSD.

Desert Storm Navy veteran Jason Ream ispleased with new efforts to treat vets withPTSD. Ream is involed with a national pro-gram known as Operation PTSD.

“After attending a V.A. group therapy ses-sion for PTSD veterans, I realized what alack of basic PTSD knowledge exists amongthe veterans suffering from PTSD. Knowl-edge is key when attempting to engage anyproblem,” according to Ream.

Ream’s Operation PTSD has a website setup for vets and their families at http://op-erationptsd.com/.

“My wife has agreed to shift her career fo-cus to helping the wives and family mem-bers of veterans with PTSD,” Ream added.

As far as Hanley is concerned, the Home-coming for Veterans program is spreading

the word with free training to veterans na-tionwide.

Hanley explained the science behind thesyndrome.

“Our American solders require fast movingwaves called HiBeta in order to be hyper-vigi-lant for survival. When they have done a tourof duty and their brain has been trained to pro-duce large amounts of HiBeta activity for longperiods of time it becomes their norm and thesymptoms of anxiety may become present.This is the brain in survival mode. Many timeswhen a soldier comes home the brain is stuckin this constant state of high alert. Doctors re-fer to this as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.”

Neurofeedback works by placing electrodes,or EEG leads, on the scalp that monitor brainwaves, while listening to a series of repetitivesounds. Researchers say the therapy allowsthe individual get back control of mental func-tion by allowing their brain to reset itself to acalm state.

Hundreds of service members and veteranshave undergone neurofeedback training upontheir return from active duty to eliminate thesymptoms of PTSD. The procedure has beenquietly embraced by some military leaderswilling to try anything that might help the menand women returning from Iraq andAfghanistan with seemingly indelible mentalscars. Camp Pendleton alone has had over 350success stories.

Hanley has been training clients with neu-rofeedback for right years, and has many suc-cess stories that can be accessed through herwebsite, www.drsharrie.com. Training ses-sions are performed at her office at 224 Strat-ton Rd.

To schedule an appointment, call her officeat 236-7378.

From the Editor

Reduce, reuse, recycleDuring the past year, several

Vermont towns have beenmulling over plans for

building new, multi-million dollartown halls.

Since January, we’ve seen propos-als—and some voting—regarding newtown halls in Castleton, Monkton, andelsewhere.

Now the latest municipality eyeingan upgrade for its town offices is Mid-dlebury, Addison County’s shire town.Middlebury’s building plans are esti-mated to cost between $6-10 million.

In tough economic times, it surpris-es me that local governments can’tseem to hold back when it comes tospending. That’s not to say a newtown hall or two wouldn’t make localfolks feel proud, but at what price?

When the rest of us taxpayers aregetting no where with on-the-job rais-es or delaying our vacations and newbig purchases, town officials arewhistling “Happy Days are HereAgain”. Sure it’s a nice past time—drooling over architect’s fresh plansfor new government digs—but whopays?

To be fair, Town of Middlebury offi-cials have taken an enlightened ap-proach: they’d like to build the newmunicipal office building without bur-dening the taxpayer. And town offi-cials think the current town buildingis an “eyesore”. On the other hand,some local residents, call us old fash-ioned, actually like the flat-toppedbuilding—its got character.

Regardless of architectural tastes,we’re skeptical about how a new re-placement structure can be built with-out it being a burden to local (and oth-er) taxpayers.

In a world of finite resources (in-cluding funds), we know the construc-tion dollars aren’t going to be redi-rected from local social and educationprograms. So who are these generousprivate sources? Please, tell us more.

Middlebury officials have beenmulling the idea of knocking downthe current circa-early 1900s building

for a few years. They’d like to resur-rect a new edifice on the footings ofthe old. Again, short of a surprisemoney gift from Middlebury College,how can the town building be erectedwithout the use of a large chunk oftaxpayer funds? Also, don’t be fooledwhen you here officials utter quaintturns of phrases, such as “grants” and“gifts” linked to Uncle Sam: federalgrants and gifts are always handoutspaid for by taxpayers.

Now, we like the way Castleton res-idents voted on their new town hall—they voted along the tried and truelines of Vermont’s favorite green-upmotto: reduce, reuse, recycle. Instead ofbuilding a new, multi-million dollartown hall and police station, voters re-jected spending the $2 million theydidn’t have; voters frugally chose PlanB—to rebuild the “moldy”, old, his-toric town hall.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. Castleton’s old town hall, which is

being upgraded, is in worse conditionthan’s Middlebury’s 20th-century“eyesore”. On such things the votersdecide the fate of all new town hallsincluding Middlebury’s. Look at it an-other way: renovation is often less ex-pensive to the taxpayer than buildingnew which, we wager, will likely runover budget.

Middlebury town officials have al-ways preached “green”, so why bedissemblers now?

Are the concepts of reduce, reuse andrecycle—even the car-idling ban down-town—just things other people shoulddo? Why is an old town hall any dif-ferent?

Money issues aside, based on localtradition, we believe it’s wise to pre-serve our older, in-town buildingswhenever it can be done—even if thestructures are deemed “eyesores” bysome people.

Eyesores? Well, maybe, but beautyis in the eyes of the beholders. In thiscase, the eyes of the voters.

Lou Varricchio

Being an entertainer isn’t hard. I like tothink I have worked hard at it, attimes more than others, but it’s not

hard work. Shoveling, nursing, mining, log-ging, pouring concrete, those are hard jobs.

My columns aren’t funny, really, but mycomedy shows are—mostly.

It’s the comedy side of my business thatcarries the heft of my expenses, hence, it’scomedy that I spend the majority of my timeproducing. And though, I said, it’s not hardwork, raising humor is mostly a slow process,and something I put in a fairly large deal ofeffort in to.

That’s why, today, when I thought up a linethat a half dozen folks at the grocery martthought was funny, I held on to it to try; Iwant to build from it a solid dependable joke Ican use in my show.

I’m not sure if the style will end up theshort, three-liner type: “The old farmer said tothe postal clerk …” or if it will expand into afull, paragraph size mini-story that uses mynew joke as the capper (or if the new joke willfit somewhere into one of my longer 5 to 15minute stories). We’ll see.

That’s where the work comes. I’ll run the short line I used today at the

mart over and over and over and over in myhead; I will fit it in a wide range of jokeforms, until it plants itself in a form that I feelworks best for a laugh.

Then, there’s more time added to theprocess in memorizing it, especially if it flesh-es out into something longer than a smallparagraph.

Then, once you play it in front of peoplethere’s much, much more time to put in shav-

ing the edges of thejoke and perfectingthe timing (andwording off the evi-dence you gainedfrom the reaction ofthe audience).

I’ve done certainjokes over and overfor 15 years—thou-sands of times—and they’re not set; they’restill workable to a more effective result.You’re never done working a joke, but, thetime does arrive when the joke is working atoptimal efficiency.

Here’s the grocery-mart joke at it’s most ba-sic. The lines are close to word-for-word asthey were spoken, but the delivery is some-what lost on the page.

Scene: Busy grocery mart. Register lines areseveral people long. I’ve paid my ticket. Thecashier is slowly getting my change from theregister. I’m impatient and in a hurry. I askher a question, she answers, slowly, myweight starts to shift toward the exit, whilefolks in lines overhear.

Me: Haven’t seen you for a while, Wilma.Wilma: Ah, yeah, no. We went on vacation. Me: Oh? Where to? Wilma: Las Vegas (wide eyed). We caught

the Cirque du Soleil Me: (Having gotten my change, I'm started

on my way.) Rub some salve on it, it’ll goaway in a day or so.

Yeah, yeah, I know—you had to be there.

Police conducting holiday stopsRUTLAND — Troopers of the Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks, in conjunction with other lo-

cal and county law enforcement officers, will be conducting checkpoints through July 8. Vermont has experienced 36 fatalities in 31 crashes, approximately double the number from this

time last year. The scheduled checkpoint is an opportunity to use high visibility enforcement to turn the tide,

across the state, in the number of traffic fatalities. Using state and local data, engaging task forces, and working with other agencies, we can have an

impact in Vermont. Troopers said they will be patrolling and enforcing motor vehicle laws with specific regard to ag-

gressive driving, speeding, and seatbelt usage in high crash areas.


‘Road rage’ triggersaltercation in Rutland Town

RUTLAND — An incident of alleged road rage sparkedan altercation outside a Rutland Town restaurant June 22.

A Vermont State Police trooper responded to a call at theLittle Caesars restaurant at 2:31 p.m. located on U.S. Route4 regarding a telephone complaint about disorderly con-duct. According to the report, several individuals were chas-ing each other through the business’s parking lot.

Police said a trooper approached Ricky L. Michaud, 44,Korrine R. Michaud, 38, and Trevor A. Lackey, 22, who werefighting.

During this time, police said, the subjects said that theywere fighting over a “road rage” incident.

The subjects were traveling west on U.S. Route 4 in theirmotor vehicles.

Ricky Michaud was traveling behind Lackey and allegedthat he was repeatedly slamming onto his brakes attempt-ing to cause a crash.

Lackey, who was driving in front of Michaud, alleged thathe was being tailgated in an attempt to being run off of theroad.

As a result, both drivers stopped their vehicles at LittleCaesars, exited the vehicles, and became involved in a ver-bal dispute causing a disturbance and public inconvenience,according to a state police report.

The subjects did not suffer any injuries as a result of theincident.

Last week’s Supreme Court decisiononly postpones the day of reckoningfor Gov. Peter Shumlin’s (D) “Titanic-

Care” health care law. Federal dollars can nowtemporarily plug the huge holes the governor’splan will generate in Vermont’s budget.

Let’s be frank: TitanicCare is doomed to sinkand take all of us with it. It’s just going to sink ateeny bit slower with this subsidy and nobody,not even Gov. Shumlin, believes the subsidywill last forever.

The federal government’s long term trackrecord in keeping its funding promises is dismalindeed—look at Medicaid and Special Educa-tion, for example.

Vermonters better start asking the governor

and his allies in the legislature to explain beforethis upcoming election how they’re going to res-cue us passengers.

Thankfully, all is not lost when TitanicCaresinks.

We Vermonters can start asking our politicalcandidates and the news media to look muchmore closely at much better options.

Why can’t we choose from lots of differentpolicies offered by many different insurancecompanies from other states?

A “single payer” one-size-fits-all is not a“choice”. And why are we forced to purchaseinsurance policies with mandated coverage forevery service and product that health care lob-byists can wangle into our laws?

Why can’t we choose the coverage we thinksuits us instead of what government tells us weneed?

Why can’t we be creative with high de-ductible plans and employer-subsidized healthsavings accounts that give consumers incentivesto make cost-conscious decisions?

Why can’t we permit lower premiumsand/or premium rebates for healthy lifestyles,simplify common administrative procedures,and let coverage follow people regardless ofwhere they work?

Let’s reform our medical malpractice laws,too, so our doctors don’t order so many testsout of fear of being sued. There are so manycommon sense changes we can make that don’tcost anything at all!

If Gov. Shumlin is honest, he’ll admit hisgrandiose TitanicCare plan cannot sail very farfor very long.

As Vermont’s governor, I will chart a com-mon sense course toward health care reformthat everyone can follow; that controls cost, pro-tects consumers, gets government out of thehealth care management business, and that letsour free enterprise system provide the kind ofincredibly inventive and productive health caresolutions it constantly creates in transportation,telecommunication and, yes, medicine.

If you don’t like the Supreme Court decisionor the direction of health care in Vermont, yourrecourse now is in November.

The Supreme Court’s decision supremely re-inforces the fact that elections count.

GUESTVIEWPOINTSupreme Court decision postpones day of reckoning

As the publishing industry gathers in New York for itsannual trade show, BookExpo America, they’re dis-cussing everything except the one piece of information

authors crave: how many books they actually sell.There is no equivalent of gold records in the book publishing

industry. That’s because sales numbers are almost impossible tocome by, and the numbers you can track down simply cannot beverified.

Publishers are loath to provide accurate sales figures, for tworeasons. One is that they don’t want authors to know how manycopies they sold, so that they don’t have to pay all the royaltiesdue the authors. Second, they’re embarrassed by how few copiesmost books sell.

Publishers control sales data the way the former Soviet Unioncontrolled data regarding the sale of wheat, with about as littlehonesty and transparency. So what’s an author to do?

First, they can go to BookScan, a service of the A.C. Nielsen sur-vey company. Bookscan is the primary means by which publish-ers get sales data, which they use when considering whether tobuy a new book from a previously published author. Amazonmakes Bookscan data available to individual authors for their ownbooks through its Author Central program. Sounds great, butBookScan isn’t perfect.

Bookscan measures sales for only about 75 percent of the bookvendors in the United States, including Amazon and brick-and-mortar Barnes & Noble stores. So the numbers point toward thesuccess level of a given book, but don’t provide precise sales data.On top of that, most small, independent book publishers don’t re-port their sales to BookScan, so if your book was sold out of a

garage, whether it’s your garage or someone else’s, you won’t findthose numbers on BookScan. And BookScan also doesn’t countsales of ebooks or books sold for the Kindle, Nook, or other de-vices.

Amazon knows how many books it sells, but it won’t tell any-one, not even authors. Amazon does offer a sales ranking, updat-ed hourly, of each book it sells, but those are relative and not ab-solute figures. In other words, the book ranked 100th on the listmay outsell the 101st book by a factor of 10, but you’d never knowit.

Every book published in the United States that’s offered for salethrough bookstores or Amazon must carry an ISBN number andbar code. You’d think you could track sales in real time by punch-ing in those numbers, the same way you can track delivery of aFedEx package. Wrong again. Sales data is in the hands of thepublishers and booksellers, and they certainly aren’t turning overcritical information like that to anyone.

You can always call your publisher and ask how many copieswere sold, but that presumes you can get through their automat-ed phone answering system. Unfortunately, you can’t.

An author is welcome to demand an audit from a publisher, butgood luck. It’s expensive and time-consuming, it brands the au-thor as a hothead, and even audited numbers aren’t necessarilyworth the paper they’re printed on. If the publishers control thedata, how do you know that this time they’re telling you the truth?

Another area in which publishers dupe authors is in sales ofrights to other entities –foreign publishers, translation rights, orbook club sales.

Major publishers may or may not sprinkle a little Book Of TheMonth Club money in your account, but you have no way of know-ing how much you really deserve. Same thing is true if they sellcopies in bulk sales. Their attitude is that their business is none ofyour business.

In short, there’s really no way to know how many copies you’ve

sold. From a publisher’s standpoint, a perfect world would be one

where there are no authors at all – no one whose hand needs hold-ing, no one whose royalties need to be paid, no one who calls de-manding more action on the marketing of their books. Since writ-ers remain a necessary evil to publishers, their strategy has beento commoditize writing and thus drive down the cost of getting abook written. If a publisher has to build up an author as a brand,the publisher is actually increasing the amount of money that au-thor needs to be paid for his or her next book. But if writing be-comes fungible, there will always be a plethora of scriveners suf-fering from low self-esteem willing and happy to write any bookon any subject for a few thousand dollars. Or even for no advanceat all.

You can only cheat authors for so long before they decide to fightback. Fighting back doesn’t mean creating a tent city called “Oc-cupy BookExpo.”

It means that authors are increasingly abandoning New Yorkand instead publishing their books themselves, via Kindle Direct,Lulu, Xlibris, Smashwords, print-on-demand companies, and oth-er means. It’s never been easier to target niche markets via GoogleAdWords, Pinterest, and Facebook.

The stigma of self-publishing is rapidly disappearing. Authorsnow go directly to their readerships without the intervention ordisingenuousness of the New York publishers.

At the height of the economic collapse in 2008, Simon & Schus-ter editor Michael Korda said that the publishing industry hadweathered difficult storms before, and it wouldn’t be long beforeeveryone – publishers and agents – would be back to having lunchagain.

Wrong. If I were an editor attending BookExpo America, Iwouldn’t be making lunch reservations. Instead, I’d leave earlyand head to a Starbucks where I can work on my resume.

Vermont Egg Farmsreceives penalty From News & Staff [email protected]

WAITSFIELD — The Department of Environmental Con-servation’s Compliance and Enforcement Division todayannounced that it has formally settled environmental vio-lations involving Dorchester Farm Properties, Inc. (Ver-mont Egg Farms). Vermont Egg Farms owns property inHighgate where it operates an egg production facility.

The settlement includes a $7,000.00 penalty.From August 2010 through March 2011, the company

discharged process wastewater from its egg washing op-eration to an unpermitted underground injection well sys-tem on the property. The company self-reported the viola-tion in April 2011 after it discovered its on-site personnelwere using the unpermitted disposal system. The compa-ny had been transferring the wastewater to a neighboringfarm for use, but began utilizing the system after the pumpthat transferred the wastewater from a holding tank failed.No discharge to surface waters occurred during use of thesystem.

The company replaced the pump in March 2011, ceaseduse of the disposal system, and subsequently discontinuedegg washing at the facility. It is investigating the use of theexisting disposal system for a small amount of wastewatergenerated from washing processing floors, with use of theneighboring farm as an alternate disposal method.

The matter came to light as a result of the company self-reporting the violation. After the Agency completed its in-vestigation, Vermont Egg Farms was notified of the viola-tions and agreed to settle the matter. The settlement wasreduced to an Assurance of Discontinuance, and adoptedas an order by the Environmental Court.

Vermont Egg Farms has agreed to pay a $7,000 penaltyand either apply for a new permit to use the existing sys-tem, abandon it and utilize an alternative disposal method,or apply for and construct a new disposal system.
