Abandoned dog up for adoptionBy Lou [email protected]

SPRINGFIELD — Fergus, the cute 8-year-old beagle who was recently rescued from a trash dump in Londonderry, is doing better, and he’s also up for adop-tion, according to Tom Browe of the Springfield Humane Society.

The animal shelter is looking for a new home for the canine after fix-ing him up for the better.

Browe said the dog had several teeth removed as a result of the or-deal; he is currently receiving anti-biotics.

“Fergus is doing better,” Browe said. “He was abandoned along with his dog bed. He had been wandering through the dump for several days.

“He’s happy and eating. He’s affectionate, loves attention. We also need financial help so that we can be here when another Fergus comes to us in need of extra help to stay alive and well.”

Browe said he and the shel-ter staff coined the Scottish name “Fergus” for the forlorn pooch. His original pet name is unknown.

If anyone is interested in adopt-ing Fergus, call Browe at the SHS at 802-885-3997 or e-mail him at: [email protected].

To make a donation to the SHS’ Princess Fund, which helps local abandoned animals like Fergus, mail a check to the Springfield Humane Society, 401 Skitchewaug Trail, Springfield 05156.

SPRINGFIELD — DuBois & King, Inc., consulting engineers announced the opening of a new Springfield office.

The firm provides professional engineering services from Vermont offices in Williston and Randolph and from an office in Bedford, N.H.

Over the last 18 months, the firm has added eight engineers, and the new Springfield office will provide a home base for new staff mem-bers. Bob Kischko, P.E., a long-time Springfield resident, will head up the new office.

RUTLAND — Girl Scouts from across Vermont join sister Girl Scouts na-tionwide in celebrating the 99th birthday of the founding of Girl Scouting in the United States this month.

For nearly a century, the Girl Scouts has stayed true to founder Juliette Gordon Low’s vision of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.

“During Girl Scout Week, we renew our commitment to making the world a better place,” said Patricia Mellor, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts in Vermont. “We know that if a commitment to helping others is learned early in life, it leads to a commitment for all of one’s life.”

Girl Scouts are encouraged to participate in religious services of their choice in uniform on these days to show that Girl Scouting is a vital part of the community. Girls also do community service.

Gordon Low founded Girl Scouting in March 1912 with one troop of 18 girls. Before women had the right to vote, Girl Scouts were earning their Aviation Badge.

Oreo & Patches are 5 year old brothers whose owner could no longer care for them. Both are a bit overweight so you’d need a sturdy lap for these guys but they LOVE attention; both giving and getting. They are exceptionally handsome guys and both are ready to make some lucky home a much happier place! Call the Shelter at 885-3997 or stop by Wed-Sat noon-4:30. W hen it rains it pours. We just started to replenish our Princess Fund for “above and beyond” medical costs from the Beagle who

needed all the teeth pulled and dental work when lo and behold we had a dog needing extensive surger y to save her life. So now we badly need donations to our Princess Fund. Two surgeries in 2 weeks tota ling over $1,400 depleted the emergency medical fund. We need your help folks so that we can be here for those animals who, through no fault of their own, have been fated to need “above & beyond” medical care. If you can spare a little to our Princess Fund, please send it to Springfield Humane Society. Thank you so much!

Of The Week! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Ques. 1 Where Was The First Oil Well In The

U.S.: Texas, Pennsylvania Or California?

Ques. 2 Which Event Did NOT Occur During The 1930’s: Al Capone Convicted, Panama Canal Opened, Lindbergh Baby Kidnapped, Joe Luis Becomes Champ, Will Rogers Killed?

PITTSFORD — Losing a pet is a very emotional thing. It’sreally important that all animals have identification so theycan be returned to their owners. An I.D. tag on your pet’scollar is the easiest method.

The tag should include your name, address, telephonenumber and the pet’s name. If there’s extra space, thephone number of the veterinarian is also a good idea. Ifyou move, make sure you get a new tag for your animalwith your new contact information.

If you have any questions, please call the Rutland Coun-ty Humane Society at 802-483-6700.

FAIR HAVEN — Beaver Wood Energy wants to constructtwin 29-megawatt wood generators — one in Fair Haven andone in Pownal.

The cost of each plant is approximately $250 million, ac-cording to company officials.

The two wood-fueled electricity-generating projects —and accompanying wood-pellet manufacturing operations— will start in Fair Haven first.

Many residents of Fair Haven have shown strong supportfor the project while Pownal residents are less enthusiasticdue to the carbon-dioxide (greenhouse) gas and strong odorsassociated with large wood-burning operations.

“We are moving ahead in Fair Haven. We’ll have to wait

for Pownal,” said Bill Bousquet, managing director forBeaver Wood Energy. “In Pownal there are mixed feelings.”

Nearly 250 residents of Fair Haven signed a petition to thePublic Service Board show-ing their support of the ef-fort.

Beaver Wood needs finalapproval from the VermontPublic Service Board beforemoving ahead with construc-tion. The PSB is expected todecide by mid April.

If the PSB approves theBeaver Wood plan, construc-tion on the facilities will startby the end of 2011.

Had a show this past Tuesday night at Bay PathCollege in Longmeadow Massachusetts. Theshow was at 8 p.m., so I took to the highway at

3 and made it there by 6:30. They had a room for me at theHoliday Inn, that after missing the turn for, and beingrouted back onto the highway, I found, and checked into,by 7.

In room 406, after firing the thermostat from 62 to 78, I satin front of the register and went over the show in my nog-gin. I was at the school in the parking lot behind the showlocation by 8:20, where I met my pretty andprompt contact, Chandler, who led me to theperformance space, er, cafeteria.

Bay Path is an all girls college, and forcripes sakes I had no idea why they bookedme. I guess a comedian is a comedian is a co-median.

I’m often asked if I get nervous before ashow. No, is the general answer. More specif-ically I’d say if I was doing a play for the firsttime, or working on a film that required agreat deal of memorizing lines for largescenes with intricate patterns of marks to hit,yes, I’d be a bit nervous. Not the type of nerv-ous one is when having to sing “O HolyNight,” at Christmas Eve service, when one is16 years old, but still, nervous.

At Bay Path College I wouldn’t say I was nervous, I’d sayI was a bit anxious, anyway. There are few shows for whichI’m not at least a slight bit anxious. You could be coming offa stretch of 20 sold-out/full-house, barn burning shows, andstill not be totally sure the folks that night will like what youdo. You’re never sure — you’re never totally sure folks willlaugh. I think the rule is, if you’re sure they’ll laugh, you’relosing your edge.

Even less sure was I the late teen early 20 something galsat Bay Path College were going to laugh. Though quite se-cure with performing, I was feeling a bit, miss-booked, for

the Bay Path Show that would be populated by modern daycollege gals who were no doubt used to the typical, hold-the-mike stand-up comedy guys you see on TV.

By 8:30 gals started putt-ing into the hall, and instead ofstaying hidden, I just hung out and chatted them up. If therewas a chance they’d not like my country comedy, I figuredI’d at least offer them some fun with a bit of relaxed pre-show jibber jabbering.

The girls were looking for fun. They weren’t the slightestbit on guard against the old rough around the edges guy that

is me, and by the time 9 p.m. rolled around,I transitioned from common chit-chat, intomy show material, smooth as butter.

There were a few girls from Vermont there,which was a sign I’d have at least those fewchuckling, but gals from Connecticut, Massa-chusetts, New Hampshire, and New Jersey,laughed too, as much as any old coot Vermon-ter from Eden Mills. What a relief.

One gal arrived a half-hour into the show.She was average height, blonde hair, slight,wearing worn jeans, and a tie-dye shirt. Ihave a good deal of hippie material in theshow, and I picked on her by offering to goback and repeat the hippie stuff just for her,since I noted, she looked like she was a bit of

a hippie herself. The other gals loved it, and she went alongfine, laughing heartily at my teasing, and the subsequentmaterial.

I busted out the guitar toward the end of the show, andcapped the gig by throwing a Logger thong out to one gal,Jordan, who I’d been going back and forth with throughout.She went for it, and told me she was marrying a Vermonterthis summer. To look at her, all fancy and urban-ish, you’dhave never guessed she’d be with a Vermont dude.

The show ended, and the girls filed away. Chandler andher assistant friend, along with most of the Vermont girls,

Opinion

From the Editor

NPR was in the crosshairsagain this month as an inde-pendent “sting” operation,

conducted by a controversial mediaactivist, revealed just how arrogantand politically partisan the taxpayer-funded broadcast service really is.

Regardless of the amount of taxpay-er funding NPR and her sister PBS-TVreceives — which is more than $450million annually — it’s time to pull theplug on public-funding of publicbroadcasting. If public broadcastingmust serve a purpose in news and en-tertainment, fine — but let it stand orfall on it’s own legs, like the rest of thenews and broadcasting industry.

NPR CEO Vivian Schiller resignedlast week after her colleague, RonSchiller (no relation), sputtered offen-sive things about Republicans and theTea Party during the undercoverluncheon sting by James O’Keefe,whose operatives posed as potentialradical Muslim donors.

As a result, both Schillers resigned ina nasty week of multiple black eyes forAmerican public broadcasting. And itwas CEO Schiller who took the biggestsword fall. Ah, but let’s not stop theNPR/PBS self sacrificing there. Con-gress needs to defund all of publicbroadcasting — immediately. How canpublic broadcasting ever recover fromrepeated examples of flagrant arro-gance, rabid partisanship, and inepti-tude?

Vivian Schiller, you may recall, wasinstrumental in the firing of reporterJuan Williams last October. Williams’firing was seen as unfair by most of thepublic. The amiable Williams wassacked after making innocent, on-airremarks about his personal fear ofMuslim terrorism while traveling. TheWilliams affair was just one of a grow-ing list of public broadcasting gaffsthat pointed to its irritatingly biasedway of managing and reporting the na-tional news. Is it any wonder manyfair-minded voters want to stop theirsupport of the “enterprise”?

Last week’s NPR sting made for theperfect storm on the issue of publicbroadcasting, a storm that has manylegislators — and many could-care-

less, non-artsy taxpayers — wonder-ing if PBS and the Corporation for Pub-lic Broadcasting are worth the nearly$450 million in federal funding theyreceived last year.

Despite the mandate of the Novem-ber 2010 election to reign in govern-ment spending and get hold of theever-spiraling federal deficit, we learnthat President Obama still wants to in-crease the amount for public broad-casting to $451 million. What doesn’tthe president understand about the re-sults of the November election? Manyof the voters are fed up — and thensome — with our government fundingeverything from recreational bicyclepaths to humorist Garrison Keillor ’sradio frolics.

NPR and PBS may serve a narrow au-dience with its arts and cultural pro-gramming, but the time of continuedpublic funding of the operations ap-pears at an end. Public radio is a luxu-ry the taxpayer can’t afford anymore.Besides, there are far too many worthi-er public efforts that have already re-ceived, or are about to receives, theaxe.

Also, when hard-working taxpayershear that that many high-level publicbroadcasting officials (like VivianSchiller) receive annual salaries in ex-cess of $100,000, it’s hard to mustersympathy for continued public fund-ing of things like “Sesame Street” or“All Things Considered.”

Here’s our vote on the public broad-casting debate: Either reform NPR andPBS to be inclusive of more broadlypublic views and issues or simply dowithout the assistance of we the tax-payers.

Can NPR and PBS survive on theirown? Sure they can. Welcome to theworld of private-sector news gather-ing, where we all compete, sink orswim on the merits of our productsand creativity. Not to fear — there’sstill billionaire George Soros and theArthur Vining Davis Foundation tohelp out with the shortfall. And in-stead of Pledge Week — how doesPledge Month grab you?

Gov. Peter Shumlin says the NoChild Left Behind Act is leavingtoo many Vermont children be-

hind. “The law is taking too many Vermont

schools that are successful and labelingthem as failing,” Shumlin told the Times-Argus newspaper, Feb. 27.

This entertaining piece ofguv-speak goes onto mygrowing list ofeducator/politician declara-tions which illustrate somesort of alternate fantasy uni-verse they occupy.

Vermont NAEP test scoresin reading and math show“proficiency’’ (ability tofunction at grade level)achievement by only about athird of all students in allschools. That’s supposed tobe the schools’ purpose.

Now, when schools don’t make the NCLB-required Annual Yearly Progress toward 100percent proficiency (not a particularly highstandard, as you can see for yourself if youlook at “NAEP sample test questions” and“NECAP grade-level expectations” on theweb) by 2014, it’s NCLB’s fault, saith theGuv, who, I’d guess, is a very bright andwell-informed guy who knows better. Actu-ally, labeling such moonbeam quotes andbehaviors isn’t unique; consider the follow-ing. It comes from Kevin Phillips’ “Wealthand Democracy.”

“In 1996, the CPI was adjusted to correcta supposed price over-statement of infla-tion. Barron’s, the U.S. financial weekly, lat-er mocked both the quality adjustments andthe political opportunism … saying theyhad helped create a palpable gap betweenthe cost of living in the real world that we

poor souls inhabit and thecost of living in the Land ofOz fashioned by statisticalfancy.”

In public education, thelongest-running (and mostexpensive) Oz fantasy hasbeen the class-size-reduc-tion campaign, since theend of WWII, to reduce classsize with the promise that itwould improve studentachievement. Not with-standing all the evidence tothe contrary, the educa-tor/politician Oz-speakcontinues to this day.

In Nashville, Vanderbilt University laud-ed the Tennessee Star Study some yearsback, and it took almost a decade for moreobjective researchers to define and publishthe covered-over defects in the TSS, whichclaimed that smaller classes produce betterstudent achievement. They didn't and don't,as more serious researchers like EricHanushek and Richard Vedder subsequent-ly proved using objective statistical meth-ods, including the depressing NAEP data

Teacher strike avertedFrom NMP News [email protected]

SOUTH BURLINGTON — South Burlington teachersand School Board members narrowly averted a teachersstrike last week. The parties involved agreed on a three-year contract.

Teachers approved the new contract which maintainsautomatic, taxpayer-funded cost of living increases forteachers.

Not all school district residents are happy with the deal.“Why should I, a taxpayer, pay for teachers’ automatic

cost-of-living increases?” asks Michael R. Toomey, Jr., ofSouth Burlington. “I have worked here since 1999—I haveyet to receive a cost-of-living increase myself. This is whyplaces like Vermont and Wisconsin are a mess. Greedy,overpaid public workers are killing us.”

Marie Fitzgerald, chairwoman of the School Board, toldreporters that the agreement represented a fair compro-mise for all the parties involved in the contract negotia-tions.

Snow Bank eventto benefit McCostis fund

LUDLOW — On Saturday, March 19, the MSF will hold a"Snow Bank Party" to raise funds for the winter scholarshipsof 2011-12. The Killarney, located at 44 Pond St. in Ludlow,has been the generous supporter of the event for a number ofyears, will once again host the fun-filled evening. Activitiesfor this years' event include a silent auction, a special raffle,and the band GMB will provide listening and dancing pleas-ure.

Sue McCostis established the McCostis Scholarship Fund(MSF) to help local youth obtaining training in snow sports,little could she have know how meaningful the endeavorwould become in the Ludlow area, or how many young peo-ple would be assisted through the fund. Over the first fewyears of the program only one scholarship was given a year,however, MSF has now grown to six scholarships a season.

In 2003, Sue had started a fund to provide one scholarshipfor a local boy to participate in the Okemo weekend alpineracing program, before establishing the MSF in 2004. At thetime of her death in 2005, she made her husband and a friendpromise to keep the scholarship fund going. Dick fulfilled hispromise until his passing in 2007.

Sue was a former fashion model, Vice President for AnnKlein and was a ski instructor at Jackson Gore, Okemo Moun-tain. In addition, she was a board member of the Ludlow TeenCenter as well as the Court Diversion Board for the area. Dickwas a graduate of Dartmouth College, the Air Force Acade-my and the University of Virginia Law School. The majorityof his law career was in private practice in New York City,

specializing in internationalcorporate law.

The Ludlow Teen Centerrecognizes The McCostis' in-terest in skiing, as well as threeother memorial scholarshipsin the Peter Noyes SkiingScholarship, the George ShawSkiing Scholarship and theThan Durgin SnowboardingScholarship. The Mission ofMSF is to "assist Okemo Valleyyouth in their pursuit of excellence through skiing and snow-board training.

In order to receive an MSF scholarship the criteria is as fol-lows: students must be permanent residents of the Black Riv-er Valley, have recommendations from school, coach andcommunity and financial need. Previous scholarship fundshave been used to pay for weekend programs and snow acad-emies, as well as assistance with national and internationalcompetitions.

Of the five snowboarders currently funded, one is in col-lege and the others are junior high and high school students.This season, two of the four MSF-funded snowboarders havequalified for nationals, one is excelling on the high school cir-cuit and the fourth is still in contention for a slot for Nation-als.

The Pete Noyes Ski Scholarship recipient, Green MountainUnion High School student Rainie Hill, qualified for the J2nationals and is only one of 15 girls in the east to do so. Also,not only do the students excel on the hill, but many are onthe honor role in the classroom as well.

LUDLOW — The Okemo MountainSchool Board of Directors announcedthat Mariel Meringolo, who has beenserving as the interim head of schoolhas been named head of school.

Last fall, Meringolo replaced WendyNeal who had worked at the schoolsince its inception 19 years ago.

Meringolo graduated magna cumlaude from Brandeis University. Shehas been a member of the OMS staffsince 2004 and she has served in a num-ber of different capacities: mathemat-ics department head, development co-ordinator, special programs coordina-tor and admissions assistant.

"I am excited to have been given theopportunity to continue to serve Oke-mo Mountain School as the permanentHead of School,” said Meringolo. “Thispast winter I enjoyed the challenge ofthe new position and know that withcontinued hard work and dedication Ican continue to meet the challenges

ahead. I feel that we have so much po-tential for growth as a school and lookforward to realizing that potential."

“The board is thrilled to have Marielcontinue as the leader of the school,”said OMS Board President Diane

NASCAR mods at Devil’s BowlWEST HAVEN — It’s only been a little over a month since

the Champlain Valley Racing Association agreed to a sanc-tioning agreement with NASCAR for the 2011 season, andthe positive effects are already being felt, according to offi-cials of Devil’s Bowl Speedway in West Haven, Vt.

CVRA officials have announced that the winners of theNASCAR Modified division features at both Albany-Sarato-ga and Devil’s Bowl will now be guaranteed $1,000. In ad-dition, the winners of the Division II level pro late modelsare guaranteed a payout of $500.

“This has all come about because of the overwhelming re-sponse of sponsors since we announced our sanction withNASCAR,” said Albany-Saratoga Speedway promoterBruce Richards. “We had previously announced a slidingscale for the purses, based on the number of cars, but be-cause of the sponsorship that’s coming in, we can now guar-

antee $1,000 to the NASCAR Modified feature winner, $500for the pro late model winner, $200 for the renegade winner,and $150 for the bomber warrior winner.”

Purses for all classes have been adjusted and will be post-ed on the Web.

It was also announced that the pro late models will be run-ning a complete schedule at both Albany-Saratoga and Dev-il’s Bowl in 2011.

“As part of the regular Friday night line-up at Albany-Saratoga last year and in limited engagements at the Bowl,this class consistently put on a great show. With the avail-ability of the NASCAR point fund, we wanted to offer thepro late models the same opportunity at the Bowl this yearto run weekly on Sunday,” said Devil’s Bowl promoter Jer-ry Richards.

In addition to the guaranteed winner ’s share, drivers willalso be competing for a share of the NASCAR point fund,which will award a combined total of $33,000 to the top 10competitors in four divisions at both tracks.

Shake off winter’s chill & warm up to a new season!

Patios are typically the go-to spotfor warm weather outdoor meals.

Whether hosting friends or simply en-joying a relaxing meal under the evening

sky, homeowners tend to spend as muchtime as possible on the patio once theweather warms up.

Because it's such a high-traffic area, thepatio should be protected from wear and

tear. Wear and tear on the patio can resultfrom Mother Nature or be a byproduct ofall those spring and summer eveningsspent relaxing outdoors. Fortunately, thereare a handful of ways homeowners cankeep their patios looking pristine throughthe summer party season.

*Stain the concrete. Staining concreteprotects it from natural elements, whichcan cause the color of a patio to peel orflake. Concrete stain penetrates deep andinfuses the concrete with a permanent col-or that's less likely to fall victim to the ele-ments. Stains are generally solid-colorstains or acid stains. Solid-color stains, astheir name suggests, provide a more evenand solid look, while acid stains provide amore marble-like appearance. While nei-ther are likely to fade or peel quickly, overtime an additional coat or stain mightneed to be applied to counter natural fac-tors like sunlight.

*Cover the furniture. Patio furniturecan vary significantly in price and quality.Homeowners who picked up a few plasticchairs at the nearby grocery store mightnot feel furniture covers are worth the in-vestment. For those with more expensivepatio furniture, durable furniture coversthat can withstand year-round weather area sound investment. Waterproof and heat-resistant fabric is ideal, as the furniturewill be vulnerable to spring rains, summershowers and high temperatures during the

summer party season. Covers should alsofit snugly around the furniture to provideoptimal protection.

*Consider retractable awnings. Re-tractable awnings might cost a little mon-ey, but they can also pay homeowners backover the long haul. First and foremost, re-tractable awnings protect patio from sun-light and ultraviolet rays in hot weather.

A retractable awning can also protectfriends and family members should an un-expected summer shower appear or keepthem safe from sunburns during summerafternoons when the UV index is high.

When placed near a window, retractableawnings can lower energy bills. Suchawnings can keep sunlight and ultravioletrays from entering the home. This lowersthe temperature indoors, which reduces re-liance on air conditioning units to main-tain a comfortable temperature. Theseawnings can also extend the life of furni-ture, which tends to fade when placed in-side windows that get heavy sun exposure.

*Plant trees. An eco-friendly way tomaintain and add to a patio's aesthetic ap-peal is to plant trees around the patio.Trees can protect the patio from sunlightand ultraviolet radiation while providingsome shade for friends and family mem-bers who want to spend some quality timeoutdoors on hot afternoons. In addition,trees can create a serene setting to a patio,adding to its relaxing nature.

Many embrace the spring thanksto its warm weather and bud-ding flowers and trees. Those

with seasonal allergies, however, may notlook so favorably on the new season.

According to the Asthma and AllergyFoundation, about 50 million Americansexperience spring allergies. Some may haveallergies each and every year. Others mayfind their allergies are newly discovered.The most common allergy triggers inspring include trees, grasses and weeds.

Allergies can evoke a number of symp-toms:

* itchy eyes* sneezing* congestion* headaches* coughing* runny nose* sore throat* shortness of breath* hivesSeveral of the symptoms of allergies

mimic those of the common cold, and aller-gies are often mistaken for late wintercolds. But as time spent outdoors withflowering plants triggers symptoms or in-halation of dust from spring cleaning in-duces an attack, the allergy culprit may be-come more apparent.

Pollen is one of the main contributors toallergies in the spring. For many people,pollen is seen as an outside invader to thebody and its immune system. When pollenis inhaled or comes in contact with theeyes, the immune system triggers a re-

sponse to get rid of the foreign substance.Excess mucous buildup and tears may begenerated to wash out the pollen. What allof this fluid can mean is sinus pressure,runny nose, watery eyes, and eventuallycough or congestion from fluids runningdown the breathing passages and into thelungs.

As the body prepares to fend off polleninvaders, other symptoms may occur. Fa-tigue, aches and pains and other flu-likesymptoms may be present. While battlingpollen, the immune system is in full swingand may not be able to fully devote atten-tion to other invaders, like bacteria andviruses. A person with allergies might bemore susceptible to sickness.

There really are no cures for common al-lergies, only methods to manage the symp-toms. Individuals with strong allergies topollen should avoid spending a lot of timeoutside when pollen counts are especiallyhigh or the wind is blowing pollen around.Pollen predictions can be obtained throughthe local weather report or doing a little in-vestigating online. Here are some othersteps to limit troublesome springtime aller-gies.

* Take a shower to wash off pollen fromhair and skin after coming indoors.

* Launder clothes regularly.* Keep windows and doors closed on

high pollen days.* Use a HEPA air filter inside of the

home.* Do not air-dry clothes, linens or other

items outdoors on a clothesline.

* Consider using a saline irrigation sprayto improve breathing and cleanse the nasalpassages of pollen.

* Talk with a doctor about the best OTCproducts available for allergy symptoms. Ifthose are ineffective, prescription medica-tions may work.

* Some people find relief from alterna-tive health treatments, such as acupunctureor ear candling.

Being proactive about seasonal allergiescan mean getting relief earlier or even pre-venting serious complications in thespring.

Spring season not fun for allergy sufferers

Showering immediately after spending ample time outdoors can help wash off any pollen that might haveaccumulated.

There are many people who asso-ciate the arrival of spring with arenewed sense of energy that

borders on the frantic. But such springfever is actually quite the opposite ... atleast in the beginning.

Spring fever is a term used to classifya mood change characterized by low en-ergy, fatigue and apathy early in thespring season. Similar to seasonal affec-tive disorder (SAD), spring fever is amental condition brought on by thechange in seasons. It is common in peo-ple who also suffer from SAD. Eventual-ly, spring fever may evolve into feelingsof restlessness, intense nervous excite-ment, high-energy spurts and loss of ap-petite.

The condition is a chemical response inthe body to its carcadian rhythm spurredon by sunlight. In the winter, there arefewer hours of sunlight. Sunlight has adirect effect on the production of sero-

tonin and melatonin. Serotonin is thefeel-good chemical messenger that affectsmood and other bodily functions. In thedarker, colder seasons, serotonin can bein short supply, which is why many peo-ple feel blue these times of the year.Melatonin is the chemical componentthat is related to sleep and wakefullness.When there are more hours of darkness,the body produces more melatonin,which in turn makes a person tired.

When the spring season arrives, thebody can take a while to readjust to thecorrect levels. Therefore, a person mayinitially have residual melatonin and ashort supply of serotonin in the earlyspring, accounting for the tiredness andirritability. As the chemical messengersdecrease and increase according to sun-light, the reverse takes effect. Apersonmay have extra energy and actually feellittle need to sleep.

Spring Fever SyndromeRenewed vitality may come in spring after the body has a chance to balance the level of hormones.

Spring cleaning is an annual tradi-tion at households across the coun-try. Whether you live in a studio

apartment or a sprawling mansion, the re-juvenating feeling of spring stems frommore than just the warm air outdoors. It'salso the opportunity to open the windowsand let that warm air breathe some newlife into your home.

Though spring cleaning is primarilyabout ridding a home of a season's worthof clutter, it should also be about making ahome healthier for the months to come.Once the clutter has been cleared, the fol-lowing cleaning tips can make your home ahealthy haven when those inevitablespring showers arrive.

Tackle mold and mildewFew homes can escape the wrath of mold

and mildew during the winter months. Inaddition to being unsightly, exposure tomold can also cause a host of physicalproblems, including respiratory ailments,eye irritation, and nasal and sinus conges-tion. Highly effective at controlling moldand mildew, Spray Nine(R) Cleaner/Disin-fectant is perfect for tackling existing moldand mildew around the house and prevent-ing any future problems, such as those thatcommonly result from spring rains.

Clean the filters, ducts and ventsSpring might be synonymous with

warmer temperatures, but for allergy suf-ferers spring can be a difficult time of year.When spring cleaning, don't forget to thor-oughly clean filters, ducts and vents tohelp decrease exposure to airborne aller-gens.

Protect against viruses, bacteriaEffectively cleaning a home can involve

several preventive measures to keep every-one free from viruses and bacteria. SprayNine(R) Cleaner/Disinfectant takes just 45seconds to disinfect a surface of harmfulbacteria, including those associated withfood poisoning and even infections such asMRSA. Registered as a hospital grade dis-infectant by the Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA), Spray Nine(R) takes evenless time to disinfect a surface againstviruses, doing so in just 30 seconds whileprotecting a home's inhabitants from virus-es including Influenza A2 and others thatcan cause the common cold and respiratoryillnesses.

Clear the garage and basementGarages and basements are often used to

store paints, paint thinners, oils, solvents,and other potentially toxic supplies. If anyof these toxic supplies are old, consultyour local sanitation department to deter-mine how best to discard such items. Forthose you want to keep, be sure the lids aretight and not leaking potentially harmfulchemicals into the air.

Make up for lost timeFor those who don't consider spring

cleaning an annual tradition, it's never toolate to start making your home a healthierplace. Such was the case with Richard To-bias, who was responsible for cleaning hisfather's old apartment after his fathermoved to a nursing home. A smoker for 40years, Tobias' father left behind an apart-ment with walls encrusted with decades ofcigarette smoke.

Spring clean your way to a healthier home

Few harbingers of spring are more spectac-ular to look at than the variety of butter-flies that take to the skies after they

emerge from chrysalis.Although it is widely known that butterflies

and moths go through a metamorphosis to turninto their finished forms, many are unaware justhow many steps it takes for a butterfly to beready to fly.

1. A butterfly begins its life as an egg, which afemale butterfly lays on a particular plant that thespecies of butterfly prefers to eat. This is called ahost plant. Butterflies are very particular aboutthe type of plant that they eat. Certain specieswill only eat one type of plant or closely relatedvarieties.

2. When a butterfly hatches from the egg, it iscalled a larva, or a first instar caterpillar. The in-sect is very small and does nothing but eat fromthe host plant.

3. Caterpillars are voracious eaters, and theygrow very quickly. The trouble is that their skincannot grow. A new, larger skin must be formed.To do this the caterpillar must molt its old skin sothat the new, larger skin can emerge. As it eats, acaterpillar will go through a few stages depend-ing on the species. It may become a second, third,fourth, and fifth instar caterpillar.

4. A caterpillar that has molted several timesmay look very different from its initial larvalform. It will be much larger and may have differ-ent colors and features.

5. During the final molt, the discarded skin willbecome part of the chrysalis that will house thecaterpillar as it pupates. The caterpillar spins asilk girdle that attaches it to a particular location,either on a tree branch or a plant stem.

6. Contrary to popular belief, butterflies are notformed in cocoons. Their pupa is called achrysalis. Only some varieties of moths transforminside of a cocoon. In the chrysalis, the caterpillar

is undergoing a rapid transformation. The chew-ing mouthparts are turning into the suckingmouthparts of a butterfly. Wings and antennae arealso forming. The pupa stage is not merely a hi-bernation for the caterpillar. It is a time of veryactive growth.

7. About 10 to 14 days later the butterfly willemerge from the chrysalis. Upon doing so thewings will be wet and small. The butterfly thenpumps fluids through the wings to expand them.It also needs to get used to flying. A recentlyhatched butterfly is very vulnerable until itswings are ready and dry.

8. An adult butterfly eats nectar and reproducesto begin the life cycle anew. Relatively speaking, abutterfly has a short life span. Some species liveonly a few days. Others may live up to a year.This can make viewing a spectacularly hued but-terfly in a spring garden even more poignant forthe observer.

Adult butterflies looking for nectar will seekout plants in the sunlight; rarely do they feed inthe shade. Plants should have red, yellow, or-ange, pink, or purple blossoms. Flat-topped orclustered flowers are preferred, as are shortflower tubes that enable the butterfly's proboscisto fit in easily.

Butterflies are a spring spectacle

Butterflies undergo an amazing transformation into the del-icate, winged creature that graces spring days.

Create homemade outdoor crafts

As families await the arrival of warmer weather, there are thingsthey can do to prepare for a season of fun in the sun. Engaging insome craft projects are ways to beat cabin fever while dreaming of

warm, springtime weather to come.There are many craft projects families and children can tackle, but ideas

that involve projects that can be put to use outdoors may be the most fitting.Fortunately, there are a number of ideas for crafty projects to involve every-one in the household.

* Birdhouse: Head to the hardware store and pick up a few supplies. Oth-erwise, chances are items that can be made into a birdhouse probably can befound from scraps of materials already around the house or in the garage.Scraps of wood, metal, tiles, plastic, and the like can be used to craft a birdhouse or feeder. Even an empty plastic bottle can be used. Some nesting ma-terial, such as pieces of yarn or cotton, can be placed inside the house to en-tice birds to take up residence once the weather warms.

* Stepping stones: Stepping stones can be a whimsical way to dress upthe outdoor garden or yard. A trip to the craft store for some plaster or evena quick-set cement can be the medium to use for the stones. Experimentwith shapes that can be used as molds, and gather different materials thatcan be embedded into the stepping stone, such as pebbles, marbles, beads,etc. Use a pencil or another pointed tool to engrave a message or name onthe stepping stones before allowing them to dry and harden.

* Kite: The beginning of the spring season often arrives behind a burst ofwind. Make the most of blustery conditions by crafting a kite from a kitchentrash bag, some sticks and string.

* Garden gnomes: Craft stores often sell unfinished pottery that can bepainted and sealed. See if garden gnomes or other whimsical creatures canbe found. Use acrylic paint to decorate the figurines in your favorite colors.

* Outdoor games: A large piece of plywood or fiberboard can serve as thegame board for a number of different activities. Use spray paint to stencil onalternating squares of red and black for a larger than life checkerboard orchess board. For those with more time and creative stamina, use large stonesto pain on letters and make an outdoor Scrabble(R) board for fun times withfamily and friends.

* Painted flower pots: If the colors and designs at the local garden centerdon't fit with a particular design scheme, buy unfinished terra-cotta or plas-tic pots and paint them with the designs and colors that coordinate better.

Getting crafty doesn’t have to mean knitting sweaters or decoupage hatboxes. By making items that can be put to use outdoors, families can ush-er in the spring season a little early and reap the rewards for months tocome.

(which is a large part of the reason educators de-spise NCLB) showing flat test scores since 1970,four decades in which class size at national andstate levels has been steadily reduced.

The promised achievement improvement hasbeen just about zero, with test scores today still inthe low 200s out of 500, just as they were then. In-creasingly, I find myself thinking back to my owngraded school days, when all 25-to-30 of us in theclassroom made “proficient” every year, learningnot only how to handle the 36 symbols for readingand counting (the Japanese Kanji system requiresa couple thousand for basic literacy) but to mastersuch not-even-taught-any-more subjects as gram-mar and penmanship. I speculate that there arefour underlying causes for what economist Vedderlabels the “productivity collapse in public educa-tion,” and I include the class-size shrinkage for itsdownward effect on learning (see below) which hedoesn’t mention, more than for its upward effecton per-pupil costs, which he does. In no particularorder, they are: social-promotion up, achievement-promotion down; classroom-disruptive studentbehavior up, teacher-authority down; social-issueinstruction up, basic competencies down; andclass-size reduction.

Social-promotion. When I was in, say, grade 7,every classmate there had similarly mastered thegrade 6 content. Rarely, one or two who hadn’t

shown proficiency at an earlier grade had to repeatit. Thus, the proficiency rate was 100 percent, ex-actly what NCLB now seeks by 2014. To what ex-tent social-promotion alone is the cause or symp-tom of the present 60 percent reading and mathnon-proficiency rate as revealed by the NAEP testscores, the available literature doesn’t say.

Disruptive or disengaged “students.” When Iwas in public grade school, teacher authority wasunquestioned (it still is, in non-public schools) andtherefore almost never challenged. Classroom timewas almost never devoted to maintenance-of-or-der, almost always devoted to teaching and learn-ing, and adverse peer-pressure was non-existent.Presently, a handful of States is adopting newstatutes to restore that authority.

Social-issue instruction. Classroom time is azero-sum equation: time spent on such matters istime not spent on basic competencies. Several pri-vate-school educators have explained to me thatlarger (traditional) class size enables more studentlearning, as classmates get more chances to ob-serve each other recite and question. Mathemati-cally, smaller classes equate to more teacher-atten-tion per student, but, apparently, that isn’t the ma-jor determinant of achievement and proficiency.Recently, a handful of States has enacted minimumclass size rules, but none yet enforces them.

When I was in graded school, 65 percent was thesubject-mastery passing grade. Anything less wasa “flunk.” Of the above four subjects, States arenow becoming active on two. That’s 50 percent.

Logger from page 4

hung around for the 10 minutes ittakes me to pack up. They walked meto my rig, we shook hands, and I wason the road.

The small Italian place I eyed onthe way in to town was closed, so Ipulled into a MacDonald’s and wentin to sit with a couple of cheeseburg-ers.

Ordering, I looked to the drive-thru window and there were two galsfrom the show. They saw me,laughed, and I motioned them tocome join me. They did. One of themwas a Vermonter, from Lyndon. Theother was her roommate, from Con-necticut.

We chatted about school, mostlyabout the rules like, no drinking ordrugs (aren’t they general liferules?), supped on our ratty fastfood, and I left in a cloud of dust. Itwas 10:45.

The drive home is about 3.5 hours,and I had my heart set on a packageof chocolate chip cookies made by alocal woman, sold at a conveniencestore that lies 2 hours and 45 minutesup the road. By the time I hit that

store and bought my milk and cook-ies, I was fully ready to enjoy them asmuch Thanksgiving dinner.

I got home at 2 a.m. or so.Next day’s report from the college

booker was very positive. I was gladto see, through all the troubling re-ports we hear and read about educa-tion in our country, that here was atidy campus, brimming with a di-verse group of bright-eyed youngwomen, happy and motivatedenough to want to leave their roomson a Tuesday night, to come and beentertained.

Seems to me any of the girls I sawat the show have all the ability in theworld to give themselves one hellu-va chance to live out a fantastic life.

It was 11 hours total: seven driv-ing, one performing, and three inlimbo. Money in the bank.

Show biz.I was glad the girls liked the show.
