MONTPELIER — Over 300 pro-gun supporters, includ-ing hunters and other citizens, turned out for a vocal rallyin support of the U.S. Second Amendment. The support-ers in Vermont joined forces with others for the nationalGuns Across America rally held at the state capitol inMontpelier, Jan. 19.

Eric Reed, the national event coordinator, described theevents, including Vermont’s, as “a peaceful demonstra-tion against any, and all, future gun control legislationthat would restrict gun rights.”

Rally attendee Tom Marcal, 53, of Williston said he wasthere because he is a responsible gun owner. He has threegirls ranging in ages from 15 to eight.

“I am law abiding citizen like the others here today. Wecare about protecting our families from mentally ill peo-ple and criminals carrying illegal guns. We want to pro-tect ourselves, our families, and our property. The policeare not able to do it all.”

“Restricting the constitutional right to bear arms willnot stop gun violence,” Reed said in a national address.“It will endanger their lives and property. We hope we in-spired law-abiding gun owners to get more involved ona local, state, and national level in protecting their secondamendment rights,” said Reed.

The Montpelier rally played out predicted; it was apeaceful event and displayed the faces of a cross sectionof law-abiding Vermonters—including Republicans, De-mocrats and Independents, who value the Constitution ofthe United States and the safeguards provided by the Sec-ond Amendment.

U.S. Patrick Leahy, a liberal Democrat on most issues,was quiet Jan. 19 about his party’s push for more gun con-trol. Leahy is a gun owner and maintains a private shooting range on hisVermont property.

Petitions were available for attendees to sign, which were sent to both U.S.

Senators Sanders' and Leahy's offices.According to Vermont-based Second Amendment advocate Anthony

Commo, “Stricter gun control will not solve the greater problems of vio-lence, and mental illness in our society today.”

EconomyGreen Mt.Power unionOKs contractBy Lou [email protected]

RUTLAND — GreenMountain Power and theInternational Brotherhoodof Electrical Workers Local300 announced Jan. 16 thatthe company's union em-ployees voted to ratify anew five-year contract.

The contract brings allunion employees togetherunder a single contract forthe newly merged utilitycompany.

Central Vermont PublicService merged with GMPin the autumn.

The company is Canadi-an owned.

"It is highly unusual thatnewly merged companiesare able to combine unioncontracts and blend soquickly and effectively toform one strong workingunit," said Mary Powell,president and chief execu-tive officer of Green Moun-tain Power.

Jeff Wimette, IBEW Lo-cal 300 business manager,said, "Union members andGMP management both ac-knowledged the impor-tance of reaching a con-tract that benefited cus-tomers while honoring andrespecting matters of im-portance to union employ-ees."

Green Mountain Powerand Central Vermont Pub-lic Service, which mergedin 2012, have employeeswho are members of thesame union, but had sepa-rate union contracts thatwere not changed by themerger. The company andits union members workedhard to create a new con-tract for all union employ-ees.

The new contract takeseffect this month.

GOP nominate candidates for Clarke’s House seatBy Lou [email protected]

VERGENNES — Republican voters of the Vergennes-area Addison 3 Leg-islative District nominated Warren Van Wick and Mary Ann Castimore as can-didates for Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) to consider to replace the late RepublicanState Rep. Greg Clarke. Clarke died at the age of 65 in a roadside accident inNovember.

Both candidates have been active in local Republican activities.While tradition has it that Vermont governors replaced retired or deceased

elected lawmakers with a member of the same party as the passing member,some Addison County Republicans appeared dubious about Shumlin’s parti-san intentions.

“I think Shumlin always has an agenda,” said Martha Olbers, a Republicanvoter from Panton. “But if he does the right thing, he will appoint one of thesetwo Republicans to fill out Greg’s term.”

Shumlin has been asked to select one of the two Addison County GOP can-didates. The decision is expected to be made after Jan. 18.

Clarke was killed a few weeks after his re-election to the State House.

Dick Phillips, owner of Vermont Field Sports in Middlebury, holds up large caliber bullets during an ammo short-age in early 2009. The shortage was triggered by the first election of President Obama. Vermont gun sellers areseeing a brisk trade in guns and ammo following threats by Obama, and others, for stricter gun controls thatmany say threaten the Second Amendment.

Capitol Steps: ‘allpolitics is funny’

RUTLAND — Capitol Steps, a politically diverse groupof Senate staffers who quit their day jobs in order to set outand satirize the very people and institutions that had em-ployed them, returns to the Paramount Theater in down-town Rutland, Friday, Feb. 1, at 8 p.m.

To paraphrase the late Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill,“all politics is funny.” For 30 years, the group has per-formed for audiences across the country, including the lastfive presidents, and five annual National Public RadioBroadcasts.

"Having just wrapped up a contentious, exciting electionyear, this is the perfect time to bring this group back to ourcommunity," said Eric Mallette, the Paramount’s program-ming director. “I hope this show will provide the audiencewith a chance to laugh and maybe even learn a little aboutAmerican politics."

As comedians, nothing is off limits. They mock everyonefrom presidential candidates such as Newt Gingrich to VicePresident Joe Biden.

The group was born in December 1981 when somestaffers for the late Illinois Senator Charles Percy wereplanning entertainment for a Christmas party.

This event is sponsored, in part, by Vermont Public Ra-dio.

Tickets ($29.50-$39.50 plus tax) for this and all otherParamount Theatre events are available by phoning thetheatre box office at 775-0903.

Tickets may also be purchased online at www.para-mountlive.org or at the Paramount Theatre Box Office at 30Center St.

LUDLOW — Genevieve Maricle of Maryland has reasonto be hopeful. After her house cat, named Little Guy, wentmissing in Ludlow during the autumn, she mobilizedfriends, neighbors, and other residents to find the cat. So far,no luck, but Maricle believes in happy endings.

“Do dreams come true? Can a long lost cat really be found?In Vermont in the winter, when his family lives 500 milesaway in Maryland? Maybe the answer is yes,” Maricle said.Little Guy has been seen locally.

“We lost Little Guy many long months ago, while in Ver-mont for just a short trip. We put up flyers and asked Ver-monters to be our eyes and ears, and they have been,” shesaid. “In the past few weeks he has finally been seen—notonce, but twice, near Route 100, between Ludlow and Ply-mouth and up toward Hawk.”

Maricle, who plans a return to Vermont to help search, re-mains hopeful despite the frigid temperatures.

“Everybody’s looking now,” she added. “We are closerthan ever to finding him, but we live far away, and need yourhelp to find the exact spot. Please keep your eye out for alittle grey tabby-tiger.”

Maricle has asked local resident to check everywhere; thecat’s tracks will show upclearly in the recent snow.

“He could be traveling a wide circuit,” she said. “We putup a website with pictures, track identification guide, strate-

gies for finding him, and details of this story.”The website, dedicated to the search for Little Guy, is lo-

cated at the following URL address: www.NewtonsWin-dow.com/LittleGuy.

“Little Guy is timid, and fast, and very good at hiding.Please keep an eye out, especially at night, and please call ifyou see anything that could be him. Day or night, pleasecall right away,” Maricle said.

If you identify Little Guy, or happen to gently “catch” him,contact Maricle at 303-947-1329 or her friend Suzanne at 303-912-9836.

“Please don’t chase him. There’s a big reward, and greatjoy at the end of this,” she said.

From the Editor

See you at the farm showThis week, our newspaper offers a special focus on the 2013 Vermont

Farm Show. For members of the agricultural community in centraland southcentral Vermont, Addison County Fair and Field Days and

the Vermont State Fair are two annual event to look forward to. Both the StateFair in Rutland and Field Days in New Haven aren’t just for farmers andthose in agriculture; they’re fun, outdoor events for the whole family.

But when it comes to winter in Vermont, and the comforts of the great in-doors, there’s nothing quite like attending the annual Vermont Farm Show.It’s the icing on the cake, so to speak, and starts off the new year with freshhope. It’s also the ideal beginning to a year of related fairs and exhibitionsheld around the Green Mountain State.

This year ’s annual, 81st edition of the Vermont Farm Show returns to theChamplain Valley Expo grounds in Essex Junction, Jan. 29-31. This is now thesecond year the event has moved out of the venerable Barre Civic Auditorium.The move, made reluctantly by farm show management, turned out to be awise decision. The 2012 farm show was a huge hit in Chittenden County, at-tracting the greatest attendance yet.

The Champlain Valley Expo site, while somewhat removed from the state’sfarming areas, is never-the-less an ideal setting for a show of this scale. Brightindoor lighting, a comfortable heated exhibition space, and convenient park-ing make this free-admission event worth attending.

The yearly, end-of-January event is Vermont’s largest agricultural showcase,too. Everyone, and everything, connected to agribusiness attends the show—and then some.

Even if you’re not directly in the business of food production and sales, butyou’re a fan of the “Vermont brand”, and support our agribusiness sector, youshould check out the farm show. There will be many vendors from Addison,Chittenden, Rutland, and Windsor counties in attendance. Why not drop by,say hello, and support your local neighbors and producers?

For jobseekers, why not bring along your resume—you never know, youmay find employment among the hundreds of exhibitors on hand. And you’llget to meet and talk with many Vermont businessowners.

One of the special events during this year ’s show is Consumer Night. Con-sumer Night, held Wednesday, Jan. 30. You’ll enjoy lots of free samples at theshow’s Buy Local Market during the evening. The market will showcase lotsof Vermont-sourced foods and other products. Why not take home some tastytreats purchased at the show?

So, if you’re looking for something to do out of the cold next week, the Ver-mont Farm Show should offer fun, food, friends, and warmth to last you thewinter through.

Imagine this: You’re a 16-year-old high schoolstudent scraping by with a C average. Yourparents never went to college and it’s the last

thing on the minds of the kids you spend most ofyour time with. But then you decide to pursue a de-gree - and figure out how to raise your GPA, find fi-nancial aid, and get accepted to the institution that’sjust right for you.

If you’re a low-income student from rural Ameri-ca, sadly, you need to beat the odds to realize thatdream. Only 27 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds fromrural areas enroll in higher education, and national-ly only 11 percent of students from the families inthe bottom economic quartile graduate from four-year colleges. As the head of an organization thathas worked with more than 40,000 rural students, Irecognize that low achievement and high collegecosts are part of the problem. But there’s anotherchallenge that gets far less attention: Too many stu-dents from rural communities never develop the as-piration to go to college.

Case in point: Five years ago John Pollock ofWillsboro, New York was a mediocre student whohadn’t even considered higher education. When ateacher encouraged him to buckle down academi-cally and think about college he faced ridicule frompeers who told him it was a waste of time. Fortu-nately a mentor convinced him to press on, withdaily urgings to study, weekly reminders to sign upfor the ACT and SAT, and extensive hands-on helpin finding financial aid.

Today John is a college junior with a 3.62 GPA.He’s proud of what he has accomplished but asserts“there’s no way I could have done this without lotsof help from other people. My mentor pushed andpushed me to do better – to stop settling for averageand raise my own standards.”

John was lucky. He received guidance that’s ac-cepted as a given among students in affluent com-munities – but with an interesting twist. Over thecourse of several months he learned about his po-tential to influence others. He did this through serv-ice activities to improve his school and community,through participation at a national conference to fos-ter his own leadership potential, and with constantencouragement to share his aspirations with other

students in the Willsboro community.These activities were integral to his involvement

in College for Every Student (CFES). All of the stu-dents we mentor are expected to mentor others. Allget hands-on help to improve their grades and ap-ply for college. And all have opportunities to devel-op the discipline and leadership skills that helpthem succeed once they get there.

Thanks to thousands of volunteers and partner-ships with 200 PreK-12 schools and 210 colleges, wework with 20,000 students in 24 states. But some ofour most important activities will now take place inEssex, a town of 600 people in upstate New York.Through our CFES Center, space to conduct train-ings and workshops, in Essex, we expect to involve,virtually and in-person, thousands of students, fam-ilies and K-16 educators in experiences that bridgegaps in aspirations and achievement for low-incomestudents nationwide. In fact, our new space will al-low CFES to double the number of students weserve by 2020.

While the futures of our students will continue tobe the top priority, we intend to have an echo effectin the greater Adirondack region. Our center willbring 15 jobs to the area, and our workshops willbring hundreds of young people, educators andcommunity leaders to the town of Essex each year.With support from our staff, we will help parents,families and community leaders to embrace theirrole in promoting the value of college. We wantyounger children to follow in the footsteps of theirolder, college-bound siblings. And we want the resi-dents of Essex and neighboring communities to be-come part of a college-going culture throughout theregion.

Think I’m dreaming? Then talk to John Pollock. Afew months into his own college journey, he reachedback to two longtime friends who had dropped outof college and convinced them to give it another try.His “if I can do it, you can too” attitude paid bigdividends. Today they room together at SUNY Can-ton. They all have GPAs above 3.6. They’re all ontrack to graduate and get good jobs. And togetherthey offer a great example of what can happen whenaspirations are instilled and fulfilled.

ESSEX JUNCTION — The annual VermontFarm Show returns to the Champlain ValleyExpo grounds in Essex Junction Jan. 29-31.The free, statewide event—Vermont’slargest agricultural showcase—attractsmany consumers as well as agribusinessworkers and experts from Addison and Rut-land counties. The 2013 edition of the bigshow will celebrate its 81st year.

Being among one of the nation’s most ven-erable statewide agriculture expos, the showwill make its second showing at the Cham-plain Valley Expo.

Attendees may fondly remember the showat the Barre Civic Center. The event outgrewthe old civic center, which some said was toodingy, and parking was always a problem.

According to Jackie Folsom of the VermontAgency of Agriculture, “The new, more spa-cious venue provided a better experience forguests alike in 2012. For agriculture profes-sionals, it’s an opportunity to meet with ven-dors, preview products and machinery, at-tend trade association meetings, and net-work within the farm community.”

The Vermont Farm Show has the rightchemistry to attract all kinds of Vermonters,and out-of-staters; retailers, wholesalersand consumers—including the curious—can’t resist the tractors, farm animals, andagricultural products on display.

“There really is something for everyone atthe Farm Show,” Folsom said.

Aside from a fair amount of technical ac-tivities geared for farmers and agribusinesssuppliers, there are events for the rest of us.

This year, the show’s popular Consumer

Night will be held Wednesday, Jan. 30. Foodshoppers will be able to enjoy the event’sBuy Local Market with Vermont-sourcedfoods and products (even a few grain spirits,we are told).

Included in the Consumer Night activitiesthis year is the Capital Cook-Off event. It’san Iron Chef-type thing that will showcaseelected officials from the Vermont House ofRepresentatives, Senate, versus appointeesthe Agency of Agriculture, Food and Mar-kets in a battle of culinary skills. Soundsmore like Bureaucratic Bake-Off to us—well,whatever floats your boat.

The Capital Cook-Off teams get only 90minutes to cook up something tasty usingVermont products they purchase at the BuyLocal Market. Herding Vermont lawmakersinto the kitchen is the best idea we’ve heardof; it’s better place for these folks than underthe golden dome.

This year, fans of the Vermont Farm Showwill miss farmer Annie Burke. The long-timefarmer and friend to many Vermonters diedin April 2012.

“Annie was a link to both the future andthe past of all things agricultural in Ver-mont,” Folsom said. “She understood thevalue of educating the urban populationwhile putting politicians to work milkingthe old hard way on Consumer Night. In2013, we will miss not only her wit, but herwisdom and most of all her smile.”

Vermont photographer Bob Eddy, whosecreative skills captured Burke at work and atplay, misses her.

“Annie Burke was that rare sort who pho-tographed beautifully from every angle.Such persons are exceedingly uncommon. Icannot, in fact, recall photographing another

like her,” he said. “I photographed Anniemany times at the Tunbridge World's Fair,her favorite in all of Vermont. A naturalteamster, she would often be standing withher charges watching the ring, awaiting herturn. She was born in Connecticut, but shewas no flatlander; her image is quintessen-tially Vermont.”

There is no cost for parking or admissionto the Farm Show, but attendees are encour-aged to bring a non-perishable food dona-tion for the Vermont Food Bank.

Getting There: Champlain Valley Expo islocated at 105 Pearl St. in Essex Junction. Ifyou’re traveling from the south, head northon Route 7 approximately 20 miles to I-189.Take I-189 to I-89 North, then take I-89 Northto Exit 15 (Winooski/Essex Junction). Makea right turn on Route 15, and travel approx-imately four miles ahead to the fairgroundsentrance (Gate B) on your left.

By Lou VarricchioRUTLAND — Turner Ramsay of

Rutland and Cooper Willsey of Hi-nesburg competed in the NationalCyclocross Championships in Madi-son, Wis., Jan. 9–13.

Ramsay placed fourth in the Jun-ior Women’s ages 13-14 category.

Willsey placed third in the JuniorMen’s ages 15-16 category.

Cyclocross is an endurance sportcombining bicycling and running onan obstacle-filled course featuringsharp turns, steep hills, stairs andbarriers.

With temperatures hoveringaround the freezing point in Wiscon-sin on race day, Ramsay said the mudand ice covered course was challeng-ing to both the riders and their bicy-cles.

“Most riders were hampered byhands and feet numbed by the coldand equipment failures, which in-cluded frozen brake lines, droppedchains due to mud-clogged gearsand flat tires,” he said.

MONTPELIER — The Vermont Department of Labor an-nounced Jan. 18 that the seasonally-adjusted statewide un-employment rate for December decreased by only one-tenthof a percent from the prior month to 5.1 percent.

Vermont’s seasonally-adjusted rate continues to remainsignificantly lower than the national average of 7.8 percentwhich was unchanged from the prior month post an upwardrevision of 0.1 percent during the final estimation of the No-vember numbers.

During 2012, there were six declines to Vermont’sstatewide unemployment rate; five increases and one monthwhere there was no change.

While the year-over-year change—December 2011 to De-cember 2012—to the seasonally-adjusted statewide unem-ployment rate is only down one-tenth of a percent, the an-nual averages showed a stronger picture of economic recov-ery.

Barring revisions to the estimates, the calendar year 2012rate was 5.0 percent; down six tenths of a percent from 2011.

“The Vermont economy had a strong ending to 2012. Thepreliminary estimate of the annual 2012 unemployment rateis 5.0 percent, more than a full half of a percent lower than2011. Vermont’s jobs data as reported by Vermont business-es is up over one percent, or three thousand jobs, from lastyear. The economic recovery, nationally and on the state lev-el, has been slower than prior recessions; but progress is be-ing made as evidenced by the 2012 data. We are optimisticthat economic growth will continue in Vermont as business-es and job seekers gain confidence. The Vermont Depart-ment of Labor has excellent staff and services to match em-ployers and job seekers through our regional Career Cen-ters,” said Labor Commissioner Annie Noonan.

December unemployment rates for Vermont’s 17 labormarket areas ranged from 3.1 percent in Warren-Waitsfieldto 6.8 percent in Newport.

Local labor market area unemployment rates are not sea-sonally adjusted, according to Vermont Labor Commission-er Annie Noonan.
