Audrey Bridge was spend-ing a busy day last Tuesday coordinating volunteers while answering thrift shop customer questions at Black River Good Neighbors Serv-ices in downtown Ludlow. She and her crew are gearing up for a big move to the tank garage at the Ludlow armory site—now under renova-tion. Relocating will enable BRGNS to provide more food for persons in need while ex-panding its nifty thrift shop.

“It’s a challenge,” Bridge said, “as you can see we’re tight for space here. But that will change with our new lo-cation. We’ll be gaining 1,000 square feet in the new locale.”

Bridge oversees the non-profi t agency that provides confi dential, temporary food, clothing and fi nancial assist-ance to those in need to help them return to self-suffi cien-cy. The agency serves Ludlow, Cavendish, Proctorsville, Mt. Holly and Plymouth.

Originally housed in the Ludlow United Church, BRGNS moved to its current location when the building was donated to the agency by Neil Hammond in 1995.

“But we’ve outgrown this space in 15 years,” she said.

According to Bridge, the food shop and thrift shop are

Vermont’s state and county fair season is under way. Topping the list is, of course, Rutland’s very own award-winning Vermont State Fair which will be held Sept. 3-12, 2010.

The state fair held in Rutland began on Sept. 24, 1846. Agricultural events then—and now—included horse and cattle shows and exhibits, farm museums, horse, pony and ox pulling contests, ox shows, sheep and goat shows, horse shows, 4H building events, a sugar house and dairy center, forestry activities, fi sh and game programs, and a pet and poultry building.

The Vermont State Fair includes many free shows for attendees to enjoy.

Internationally recognized entertainers will provide the fair’s midway shows this year. For more details and program times, see www.vermontstatefair.net.

There are other Vermont fairs remaining in the fair season:

•Deerfi eld Valley Farmer’s Day Exhibition in Wilmington. Celebrating its 92nd year with full midway with rides, truck and horse pulls, ox pulls, farm exhibits, horse show, children’s activities, exhibit halls, sawing competition, pie eating contest, livestock competition. Demo Derby and midway.

•Caledonia County Fair in Lyndonville. Cel-ebrating 165 years of tradition with agriculture, fl oral, maple, poultry, rabbit and 4-H exhibits.

•Bondville Fair in Bondville. Agricultural displays and contest; quilt show and exhibit; crafts; rides and games; live free entertainment; bingo; horse, ox, antique tractor, garden tractor, ATV and truck pulling.

Superstar Wynonna Judd appears at the Vermont State Fair in Rutland, Monday, Sept. 6, at 6 p.m.

Audrey Bridge of the Black River Good Neighbors Services stands before a crowded food shelf in Ludlow. The non-pro� t agency, which operates a Windsor County food shelf and thrift shop, will move to the under-renovation Ludlow Armory Tank Garage this fall.

Note: This is part two of an occasionalseries about Bigfoot and other mysteries ofVermont and the North Country.

For amateur Vermont sleuth DennisHall, the North Country abounds inunexplained natural phenomena. Hallis known nationally for his dedicatedresearch of Lake Champlain’s famousaquatic denizen, Champ the lake mon-ster. However, recently, he has expand-ed his explorations into searching forevidence of Bigfoot or Sasquatch—both living and dead—on the Vermontside of the big lake.

This amateur Indiana Jones, a nativeVermonter, has dedicated severaldecades in exploring both shore andwater of Lake Champlain in search ofhistory and prehistory.

“I have always been fascinated by

our local history and prehistory,” Hallsaid. “I believe our region has very an-cient roots and is the cradle of Ameri-can civilization.”

Over the years, Hall has searched thelake basin for the remains of a failed17th-century Dutch fortified outpostlocated near the mouth of the OtterCreek, uncovered the remains of an an-cient native elm wood dugout, re-searched the stillborn 18th-centuryplans of Vermont pioneers to build anexpansive, geometrical capital cityspanning Button Bay to Vergennes, anddiscovered the original Iroquois namesfor Otter Creek (Makawyck) and DeadCreek (Pagkagan)—native names lostfor generations until Hall rediscoveredthem jotted on the parchment of an an-tique New York land grant.

Now Hall’s new inspiration is to de-vote more time to Bigfoot or Sasquatchresearch. It started in 2009 when he un-covered an unusual curved stone in a

ravine about one mile from the OtterCreek Falls in Vergennes.

“I found this curved stone,” he saidcarefully holding a buff colored stonein his right hand, “and I immediatelythought it must be a prehistoric tool ormaybe even a fossilized bone. I am noexpert about bones, so I contacted DonBicknell, M.D., in Vergennes. I had zeroexpectations about what it was; it justlooked interesting enough to be some-thing.”

Hall showed the stone to Bicknell.He was surprised when the medicaldoctor provided him with an off-the-cuff “diagnosis”.

“Well, he told me that it looked likea first rib bone, but that it was too bigto be from a human. He couldn’t giveme more details. But it was humanlike.So, that’s what makes me think it camefrom a large primate—an ape.”

According to Hall, the first rib is themost curved and shortest of all the ribsin primates. The bone is somewhatbroad and flat and twisted. Hall’s stonelooks like the oversized first rib of ahuman.

With scant information to go on, Hallsurmised the only possible primatethat could have possessed such a ro-bust first rib was the extinct genus ofape known as Gigantopithecus.

This mysterious vegetarian giant apewas adapted to temperate and colderenvironments—much like today’sNorth County region—between 1 mil-lion and 100,000 years ago. To date, re-mains of the creature have been foundonly in Asia. Scientists think either cli-mate change or ancient human hunterskilled off the last of these apes.

“Gigantopithecus is frequently identi-fied with living Bigfoots,” Hall said.“But now I believe I have fossil evi-dence that proves the creature livedhere in Vermont.”

According to the scientific record,Gigantopithecus has caused controversysince the 1930s. It was considered to bean ancestor of humans, at least basedon fossil molars found in northern

See HALL, page 6

4 - OUTLOOK www.gmoutlook.com WEDNESDAY August 18, 2010

Last week, we looked at prehistory’s five great ex-tinction events and suggested that extraterrestrialsources may be the binding threads in our plan-

et’s violent tapestry of death. We briefly outlined extinc-tion events 1 through 4. This week, we conclude with ex-tinctions 4 and 5. Are there any cosmic smoking gunshere?

•Extinction 4—The Triassic–Jurassic extinction event oc-curred 205 million years ago. At the T-J boundary, nearly48 percent of all zoological and botanical genera—terres-trial and marine life—went extinct.

Most archosaurs—except the lucky dinosaurs— andmost therapsids, which include mammals and their imme-diate evolutionary ancestors, died out. Even many largeamphibians became extinct. The result opened up the envi-ronment to the surviving dinosaurs. (Of course, the di-nosaurs own turn to face the Darwinian firing squad willcome at extinction 5.)

Only a few large amphibians emerged from extinction 4and managed to survive, barely, into the Cretaceous. Forexample, the giant, lumbering amphibian known as Koola-suchus—one of the paleo stars of the 1999 BBC-TV mini-se-ries “Walking with Dinosaurs”—became the lone survivorof the now utterly vanished biological order Tem-nospondyli.

As with earlier extinctions, an extraterrestrial agent mayhave had a hand in the T-J megadeaths, but we’re not 100percent certain.

Could the giant, 62-mile-wide ring-like ManicouaganReservoir feature in central Quebec be the smoking gun?Maybe, but it’s a big maybe.

The now highly eroded, water-filled impact basin proba-bly was excavated by a rocky asteroid three miles in diam-eter. The scale of the Manicouagan impact should haveproduced planetwide fires and dust clouds with impactdebris raining down for thousands of square miles. Yet,many researchers now believe the crater was formed 12million years before extinction 4. Ok, if Manicougan isn’tthe culprit, then why didn’t planetwide extinctions occurat the time of that impact? More geological investigationsare needed.

•Extinction 5—the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event,occurred 70 to 65 million years ago and is the most famousextinction—it ushered in the death of the beloved di-nosaurs.

“About 17 percent of all families, 50 percent of all gen-era and 75 percent of species went extinct,” according to

author Michael Benton. “Itended the reign of dinosaursand opened the way formammals and birds to be-come the dominant land ver-tebrates. In the seas it re-duced the percentage of ses-sile animals to about 33 per-cent.”

Benton notes that the K-Textinction (“K” is from theGerman word Kreidezeit orCretaceous; “T” means Ter-tiary) was uneven—”Somegroups of organisms becameextinct, some suffered heavy losses and some appear tohave been only minimally affected.”

Most space scientists agree that the K–T extinctionswere caused by a massive asteroid impact (like the Chicx-ulub, Mexico, impact), while many geologists believe vol-canic activity—such as at the supervolcanic Deccan trapsin India—is to blame. Both an impact and supervolcanicevent would reduce solar energy falling to Earth and slowdown photosynthesis. A few paleontologists even suggestthat the extinction was far more gradual due to a drop insea level or a cooling down of the climate.

But a cosmic agent—an asteroid or comet impact—looksmore and more likely at the K-T boundary. In fact, onMarch 4 of this year, a panel of 41 international scientistsagreed that the Chicxulub impact caused this mass extinc-tion.

We’ll end with this warning and call-to-action by astro-physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of New York’sHayden Planetarium:

“If humans one day become extinct from a catastrophiccollision, there would be no greater tragedy in the historyof life in the universe. Not because we lacked the brainpower to protect ourselves but because we lacked the fore-sight. The dominant species that replaces us in post-apoca-lyptic Earth just might wonder, as they gaze upon ourmounted skeletons in their natural history museums, whylarge headed Homo sapiens fared no better than the prover-bially peabrained dinosaurs.”

Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., is a former science writer at theNASA Ames Research Center.

This is it. This is the timebefore it’s too late to dosummer stuff—right

now! Boom—that was it, thatwas the time—there—it justpassed, it’s officially too late todo summer stuff. But if you’reclever and quick acting, youstill have a small, small win-dow to...

Go to Thunder Road. It’s agreat paved oval stock car race-track, boasting a fantasticallyrun program, with dedicateddrivers, crew members - andthe families of, set within a nat-ural scenic bowl-like location.There are special event races through early October, but the sum-mer season of Thursday night races is just about done. So hurry.And by the way, all you rich, snooty liberals and conservatives:the working class folks you’re going to gawk at would marvel atyou, too, if you stood out.

Hike a mountain, fast. Sure, you may have hiked a mountainthis summer, but you may not have hiked it fast. You should,now, because the mountain will beat you down; you’ll realizehow out of good health you are. Then you’ll have an entire yearto get in shape for your next summer’s “Summer of Hikes”.

You think spring is the best time to clean your crib? It’s not.Late summer nights are. Late summer days kayaking, or canoe-ing, hiking or playing ball will boost your energy so that you cancarry it well through the evening and into the early morning.Trust me. Do something active all day, in the Sun—near the wa-ter—then come home and see if I ain’t right. You’ll want to keepon going. Winter housework? Nah. Spring-cleaning? Nah. Thoseseasons, especially in good ol’ Vermont, can kick your butt.Clean the heck out of your house from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sum-mer’s when to get things done.

Because you’ve but a closing window on summer stuff to do,the above suggestions are all I’ll offer you. I don’t have time towrite more cause I’m trying to fill my closing window with sum-mer stuff. Oh, I will add that you should visit Montgomery, Vt.

Montgomery is near Richford. Richford is on the border, soMontgomery is up there. Routes 118, 58 and 242 peg it. Like allgood Vermont towns, Montgomery has a sister town, Mont-gomery Center. So with your closing window, add Montgomeryto the list.

I could tell you about each Montgomery, but then there’d beno reason to visit. I will say that while sitting on the corner for 20minutes I was greeted by local elementary school kids on bikes,men on big tractors, a dude on a scooter, walkers, bikers, a Bap-tist minister, and a stray dog. (I’d bet they were all related, too.)

When I first pulled into town I walked to a parked car whosedriver was an 80-year-old gentleman. I asked him if he could tellme where I could find a covered bridge.

“There’s supposed to be eight of them in this town,” he said.So, when you find a town where the locals are completely unim-pressed by what many towns would brag about, you knowyou’ve found a solid place.

Well, maybe the old gentleman didn’t brag cause if he was tobrag about all the classic Vermonty things Montgomery has tooffer, he’d a never made it to bed that night.

Yup, add Montgomery and Montgomery Center to your re-maining window of summer; you’ll no doubt be happy you did,especially if you eat there.

I had the best turkey club sandwich I’ve had in my life a jointin one of the two Montgomerys. I’m not saying which Mont-gomery or at what restaurant ‘cause that would take the fun outof it for you. And I’m all about you having fun.

Separated by some 850 miles are two high schools,each in the foothills of a different region of the Ap-palachian Mountain range.

One school is a nominally-private academy in Manches-ter, Vt. It accepts, on tuition (in fact depends for survivalon them) the 91 percent of its student body which hastransferred in from local public grade schools in the sur-rounding, mostly intra-county, area.

The other school is a typical public high school in Erwin,Tenn. It receives its students from the surrounding intra-county area also. Nearby hill color differentiation (onecalled the Green Mountains the other called the BlueRidge) and latitudinal separation notwithstanding (7 de-grees, Burr & Burton Academy at about 43 degrees N andUnicoi County HS at about 36 degrees N) the two schoolsaren’t much different in their student bodies—small-townteenage Americans—or their achievement levels or theirracial make-up. Where they differ, markedly, is in theirgovernance.

One, in the county named in the English language for18th century New Hampshire land-grantor Benning Went-worth, has just raised its tuition charges 6 percent, morethan twice the less-than-3 percent statewide school budgetincrease. No mention in the various news accounts of stu-dent achievement or the productivity trends at BBA. Relat-ed factoids: from the 2008 National Digest of EducationalStatistics, you can read that average pupil-teacher ratio inVermont is 1-to-10.8 and annual per-pupil cost $13.5K.

The other, in the county named in the Cherokee lan-guage for the nearby sometimes-called-smoky mountain-top haze, has just petitioned Tennessee state governmentfor higher K-12 academic standards. No mention in thevarious news accounts of any (beyond the basic inflationrate) budget change. Related factoids: NDES Table 66shows the TN p/t ratio at 1-to-15.7 and Table 182 showsthe annual per-pupil cost at $7.7K.

Like Bennington County and all of Vermont, UnicoiCounty, Tenn., is, at 98 percent, statistically all white forNDES purposes, which shows in Table 121 that the U.S.fourth grade average reading score is 220 overall and 230for whites (out of 500) with Vermont at 228 (229w) andTennessee at 216 (224w)

while Utah, with the largest p/t ratio in the nation at 1-to-22.1, and a resulting annual per-pupil cost of $6.7K,comes in at 221 (226w). The “proficiency” percentages byrace aren’t shown, but all are well below 50 percent and atabout 30% when you do your own adjustment. For exam-ple, the Vermont (w) average score is a point or two belowthe US(w) average, but the Vermont total at 41 percent“proficient” with a score of 228 is 9 points above the US to-

tal at 32 percent “proficient”with a score of 220.

The NDES doesn’t show8th grade reading break-downs for smaller schoolslike BBA or UHS, nor does itshow breakdowns by race,but the overall State scorescome in at 261 for the US,273 for VT, 259 for TN, and avery-interesting 282 for UT.Clearly, the typical educratsmall-classes-produce-bet-ter-achievement argumentisn’t working too well in the“Industry” or “Beehive”State, which also posts the highest “proficiency” numberat 42 percent and at the lowest annual-per-pupil cost.

At the state level, there’s another similarity: both Ver-mont and Tennessee have been sufficiently uncomfortablewith their students’ scores on the Federal NAEP tests,which are “free”, that they’ve gone out into the publishingmarket to purchase and deploy and publicize the ‘results’from, easier tests which are sold on the promise that stu-dents will show better scores: NECAP for Vermont, TCAPfor Tennessee. But there the similarity ends, at least at thecounty level. Consider, for example, how the local gover-nance of high school education in Bennington County haschosen a quite-different focus of attention than those simi-larly entrusted in Unicoi County.

If you accept the proposal that BBA is probably prettytypical of Vermont’s schools, and UHS equally so in Ten-nessee, then maybe you’ll accept the printed fact that theyreflect an achievement difference of only 5 points out of229 or a near-statistically-insignificant 2 percent. Withsuch similarity at the student level, whence cometh thevast difference in governance focus? That the BBA Trusteesare pursuing more money, while the UHS Commissionersare pursuing more achievement, is obvious; but the under-lying why isn’t.

It’s tempting to argue that east-of-the-Appalachians Ver-mont is in general more gentrified by suburbanite in-mi-gration than west-of-the-Appalachians Tennessee; and thatBennington County in Vermont is even more so, with Uni-coi County even less so, and then drawing the usual Jeffer-sonian conclusions therefrom. Or maybe there’s anotherreason. I report, you opine.

Stone animals, welded steelsculpture workshops slated

WEST RUTLAND — Explore the possibilities of weldedsteel sculpture or learn to carve animals in stone the weekof Aug. 9-13, 2010. Two upcoming workshops at the Carv-ing Studio and Sculpture Center explore traditional andunique methods for working with these materials.

“Carve Animals in Stone” with Bill Nutt will be focusedon the techniques used to carve representational sculpture.The entire process from subject and stone selection to finalsurface finishes will be covered. Instruction will be given onvarious approaches such as direct stone carving and the useof templates. The where, when and how of using hand andpower tools will be discussed and demonstrated. The courseis open to students of all abilities. Ideally participants willbring numerous photographs of their subject matter. Ad-vanced students should feel free to bring a maquette or evenpartially finished pieces.

In this “Steel Sculpture” with Wendy Klemperer partici-pants will learn the fundamentals of gas, arc, and MIG weld-ing, oxy-fuel cutting, bending, and forging, and surfacetreatments of steel. Participants will acquire a workingtechnique of welding that can immediately be applied to thecreation of art. Additionally, an ongoing discussion of thehistory of sculpture and the origins of welded sculpture willinform the class and serve as a point of departure. The classwill take advantage of the environment the Carving Studioand Sculpture Center offers - its large resource of scrap steel,and the open-air studio to work freely in various sizes.While experimentation and collaboration will be encour-aged, the objective of the five-day course is to enable theparticipant to confidently execute basic welding techniquesto construct sculptural objects.

China. But now most paleoanthropologists place the creature inthe subfamily Ponginae, a relative of the orangutan.

If Hall’s curved stone proves to be the rib bone of a Giganto-pithecus, then the find would be a scientific first—the first skele-tal remains of the extinct ape found other than jawbones andteeth. (Amazingly, the entire ape has been reconstructed basedonly on its teeth and jaw.)

“Last summer,” Hall said, “I met with several Virginia-basedresearchers who were visiting Lake Champlain to listen toacoustical recordings I made of Champ. I then took the oppor-tunity to show them the fossil since I knew they were also con-ducting Bigfoot research. They were astounded by handling thestone.”

Hall said the researchers then asked if they could borrow thestone for detailed analysis. He declined their request.

“I hesitate about letting the fossil out of my sight. That’s be-cause I’ve learned my lesson the hard way. I loaned some valu-able Vermont artifacts I found to other researchers and they werenever returned to me.”

Hall said he plans to return to the unidentified ravine in Fer-risburgh and search the outwash for more “skeletal” remains—if they exist.

While he has yet to find evidence of a living Sasquatch in theVermont woods, Hall is open to the idea that it probably exists.More importantly, Hall now believes that the stone he foundalong Otter Creek is tantalizing evidence that—at the veryleast—prehistoric Vermont was home to Gigantopithecus.

Vermonter Dennis Hall believes “Champ” is a rare survivor of extinction—perhaps an ancient sea reptile similar to Rhomaleosauruspictured here, in fossil form, on display at the British Natural History Museum.

Champ’s mysterious historyVermont monster hunter Dennis Hall has searched for Lake

Champlain’s famous monster for years. In addition to his recentBigfoot-related fossil find, Hall has been collecting evidence ofChamp’s existence since the 1980s.

Here’s a brief history of Champ sightings in the big lake ac-cording to Hall:

•The Iroquois and the Abenaki have legends about a creaturecalled Tatoskok.

•The first European account of the creature was provided byFrench explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1609; he observed theserpantlike creature fighting an Indian warrior along the shore.Some historians discount the explorer’s sighting as a later fabri-cation.

•On July 24, 1819, local newspapers reported a serpent onLake Champlain. A sailboat crew headed by a "Capt. Crum" ob-served a giant snakelike monster.

•In 1883, Nathan H. Mooney saw a “…gigantic water serpentabout 50 yards away” from the shore in Addison, Vt. He wasclose enough to see “round white spots inside its mouth.” He de-scribed Champ as being apprximately 30 feet long.

•In the 1800s, circus promoter P. T. Barnum offered a rewardof $50,000 for Champ’s body for an exhibit about monsters.

•In 1977, Sandra Mansi released her Champ photograph thatshows a plesiosaur-like creature in the lake. Author Joseph W.Zarzynski helped make the image an international sensation.The Smithsonian Institution reported any creature or animal liv-ing in Lake Champlain.

Ancient tools fromVermont’s oldestcampground

By Lou Varricchionewmarketpress@denpubs.com

Jamaica State Park may be the oldest campground in Ver-mont—literally. It’s a campground that has been hostingVermonters for more than 6,000 years.

While digging test pits for a new waste water system inthe state park last month, workers accidentally dredged up70-80 ancient artifacts near the park’s popular Salmon Holesite.

After a state archeologist examined the stone tools, workon the waste water project was halted. A full blown archae-ological dig is now underway at the park.

“The University of Vermont Consulting Archaeology Pro-gram is excavating portions of a Native American campsiteon weekdays through Aug. 20,” according to Rochelle Skin-ner, parks manager. “This work represents the first system-atic excavation of this well know, but poorly understoodsite, and is being carried out in advance of much neededpark facility upgrades.”

Jamaica State Park, comprising 772 acres, was first openedto the public in 1969. Pre-park visitors to the site reportedfinding artifacts over the years, but nothing as significantas last month’s discovery was ever made public.

Similar paleo-Indian artifacts were found in RutlandTown near Post Road earlier this summer, across fromThomas Dairy. The 16 arrowheads unearthed were dated be-tween 7,000 and 5,000 B.C. and probably aren’t as old as thestate park artifacts. The Rutland County artifacts were un-covered during a routine Vermont Division for HistoricPreservation dig in preparation for a future developmentsite.

“Beneath Jamaica State Park lie the remains of numerousancient Native American camp sites dating back at least6,000 years,” said Skinner.

Skinner said the public is encouraged to visit the digwhile it is underway, ask questions, help wash newly dis-covered artifacts and learn about the park's Native Ameri-can history.
