There will be a 5 week Kung-
fu for Kids program held at the
Pawlet Library on Saturdays
from 9:30-10:30 a.m. beginning
on November 5. This course is
open to all kids ages 7-12. In this
class the students will learn the
foundations of Chinese martial
arts in a safe and fun environ-
ment. There is no belt or rank-
ing system. A typical class
involves stretching, strengthen-
ing and conditioning, martial
skills, partner exercises and
meditation. The instructor Rich
Marantz has trained extensive-
ly in the Chinese martial, heal-
ing and meditative arts for over
20 years. For tuition cost, more
information, or to register con-
tact Rich at 645-1960 or rich@

Across the country, thou-
sands of people are gathering
for monthly science pubs --
informal lectures combined
with food and drink that cover
anything from the physics of
flight to the nature vs. nurture
debate to the chemistry of
groundwater.
And now, Science Pub is com-
ing to the Castleton area.
Burlington is the only other
place in Vermont that has sci-
ence pubs .
“People have a thirst for
understanding the science that
affects our everyday lives, but it
can be difficult to keep up once
you leave school. By combining
science with drinks and food
and socializing with neighbors
in a pub setting, science
becomes accessible and fun,”
said Martha Molnar of the
Friends of Castleton Free
Library, the organization host-
ing the series with Castleton
State College professors. Each
Science Pub will be held on the
first Sunday of the month at
area restaurants. The afternoon
will start with a short lecture,
followed by questions and
answers and what organizers
hope will be a lively discussion.
“The experience is far more
personal and meaningful than
that of a lecture hall or stuffy
speaker series,” Molnar added.
“And, it takes place during the
cold months when outdoor con-
certs and fairs are over, and
people are looking for exciting
activities.”
There are about 150 Science
Pubs operating in the U.S. and
around the world. The Colorado
Cafe Scientifique in Denver,
launched in 2003, claims to be
the oldest in the U.S.The Castleton Science Pubs
are free, except for drinks and
food people order.
For more information, con-
tact Castleton Free Library at
468-5574 and at castletonfreeli-
brary.org/friends/
The schedule is as follows:
On Nov. 6, Dr. Cynthia
Moulton, Professor of Biology
at Castleton State College, will
discuss “ Is Our War on Bacteria
Making Us Sick?” She will talk
about products from children’s
scissors to to th paste boast
antimicrobial properties,
designed to protect us. But our
war on bacteria may be endan-
gering our health and environ-
ment.
The event will be at 4 p.m., at
the Lakehouse Pub & Grille.
On Dec. 4, Dr. John Klein,
Chairman of Psychology
Department at Castleton, will-
present “Just How Blank Is
That Slate?,” which will focus
on the old, the new, and the lat-
est on the nature vs. nurture
debate.
This event will be held at the
Iron Lantern in Castleton.
On Jan. 8, Castleton History
Department chairman Dr.
Jonathan Spiro will discuss
“When Nature Was Supreme,
“ the way the infamous eugen-
ics movement of the first half
of the
20th century influenced the
U.S. ban on immigration, the
sterilization of thousands of
our citizens, and Nazi policies
– all in the name of science.
That location has yet to be
determined.

School to hold benefit raffle
The northeastern stock car
racing community got big news
about Devil’s Bowl Speedway.
last weekend. Nearly 150 driv-
ers, team owners, and crew
members gathered Sunday at
the track’s first “town meeting”
to discuss the West Haven, Vt.
facility’s future.
Meeting with new Devil’s
Bowl Speedway owner/promot-
ers Mike and Alayne Bruno in a
segmented, open-forum summit
that lasted more than five hours,
racers from all over Vermont,
New York, and New Hampshire
expressed suggestions, con-
cerns, and progressive ideas to
lead the track into the future.
“I am honored by the turnout
that we had here for the Devil’s
Bowl town meeting,” said Mike
Bruno, who spoke with competi-
tors at the Holiday Inn-Rutland
in Rutland, VT. “The support
already being shown for our
new effort is overwhelming.
Everyone knows that we’ve got
work to do, but it appears that
the racers want to work togeth-
er and with us as managers for
the betterment of everyone.
That’s very, very important.”
The town meeting was bro-
ken into three segments -- the
open-wheel Modified division,
full-fender asphalt Late Models,
and a combined meeting for
eight-cylinder Renegades and
four-cylinder Bombers -- with
questions asked and answered
specific to each group. Items
discussed included rules on
engines and tires for each divi-
sion, race purses, technical
inspection policies, race proce-
dure policies, race dates and
start times, and ways to bring
competitors together as a com-
munity.
True to the intent of the first
town meeting, few absolute
decisions were made by man-
agement. Input was received
from nearly every attendee,
however, and future meetings
will be held during the off-sea-
son to discuss matters further.
“The lines of communica-
tion are open, and that’s what
we wanted to establish,” Alayne
Bruno said. “We were confident
before the meeting that we
would be able to elevate Devil’s
Bowl into, as we’re saying, ‘a
place you want to race’ in 2012.
The town meeting backed up
that belief. Sunday was a great
day for this race track.”
Announcements will be
made in the coming weeks
regarding all facets of the 2012
season at Devil’s Bowl Speedway.
For more information, email
devilsbowlspeedway@gmail.
com or contact Mike Bruno at
(802) 236-9141 or Justin St. Louis

The Town of Pawlet Energy
Group will be hosting a Button
Up Vermont workshop from 7 to
9 p.m., Monday, Nov. 14 at the
Pawlet Town Hall. Button Up
Vermont is an informational
session designed to help
Vermonters learn the basics of
building science and how to
improve energy efficiency in
their homes.
The free workshop was origi-
nally developed in 2008 by
Central Vermont Community
Action Council and is offered
this year in partnership with
Efficiency Vermont. It includes
an overview of why building
efficiency is so important here
in Vermont, illustrates how
homes lose energy, and outlines
clear steps that homeowners
can take to address this energy
loss. A BPI-certified contractor
is the main presenter and ques-
tions are encouraged.
Owners of homes and busi-
nesses in Poultney and the sur-
rounding area are invited to
attend the two-hour session to
learn about actions they can
take to lower energy bills and
make their homes and business-
es more comfortable and afford-
able.
Officials said the workshop
is being offered in Poultney
because with ith rising heating
costs, everyone needs to be
thinking about ways to make
their homes more efficient,.

The sixth grade’s Basket
Party Oct 29 raised more than
$3.400 -- in admission fees, extra
raffle ticket proceeds and con-
cessions -- to help underwrite
the class’ spring trip to Boston!
Some 170+ “baskets” were raf-
fled off.
Basket Party attendees
bringing non-perishable food
items to support local food pan-
tries were entered into a sepa-
rate “special” raffle. A total of
394 food items were brought in
and divided up between 2 local
food pantries (serving the towns
of Pawlet and Rupert).
The class gratefully acknowl-
edges all the businesses and
community members, as well as
the class volunteers - students
and parents - who made the
event such a huge success.
Special thanks to event organiz-
ers: Ellie Park, Brooke
Burnham, Sue Wood, Cynthia
D’Andrea and Kim Perkins.
The 1896 Schoolhouse on the
East Poultney green is undergo-
ing a facelift. Residents driving
by this winter, will see the
beginnings of a restoration to
its original design.
The front façade of the larg-
est of the Poultney Historical
Society museums has already
been scraped and prepped and
will be primed before winter.
The remainder of the job will
be completed in the spring of
2012, ready for the opening of
the Society’s museums in June.
Due to Vermont’s harsh win-
ters, this historic Schoolhouse
is now in dire need of a new
coat of paint and some repairs
to protect it from further dete-
rioration. This is where the
bulk of the artifacts donated by
Poultney families since 1935 are
housed and cared for.
Tropical Storm Irene
delayed the project, as nearly
every construction and paint-
ing company in Vermont was
busy this fall with emergency
repairs.
Thanks to the generosity of
Poultney voters, the Poultney
Historical Society will receive
$10,000 this year and will apply
it against the total cost of the
job. This money also allowed
the Society to apply for and
receive a grant for the remain-
der of the costs from the
Preservation Trust of Vermont.
As with most foundations, they
were looking to see support
from the community, and they
did.
Over the years, there have
been a number of paint designs
for the building…it was all
white in the 1970s and 80s, but
its last painting in 1996 brought
back the three-tone color
scheme typical of its Queen
Anne-style architecture.
This time, the Historical
Society has determined to rec-
reate the paint scheme from
early photos of the Schoolhouse.
Although, the pictures can’t
show colors, they can show the
relative contrast of the colors.
It’s this look that will be
restored with some of the origi-
nal colors determined by paint
analysis.
The Historical Society
received several bids, all from
local paint companies, and set-
tled on Luxbrush/Restoration
by Miles out of Manchester,
Vermont. This is the same com-
pany that did such a fine job
restoring seven of the 53
Schoolhouse windows last year.

poultneyhistoricalsociety.org

the 1896 Schoolhouse
Restoration Project.

Granville Lions Club on
Saturday, Nov. 5, from 2 to 4 p.m.
The event is part of Team
JRDF, benefiting the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation,
and will be held at The Forum
Restaurant at 47 East Potter
Avenue.
Licensed Zumba instructors
from the Glens Falls area will
lead the salsa-inflected, hip-
shaking dance action.
Music will be provided by DJ
Brian LaRose. Cost to partici-
pate is $10 per person, payable at
the door.
Since November is National
Diabetes Month, the Lions
believe that exercising to a
Zumba beat is the perfect way to
promote a healthy lifestyle.
Spectators are welcome to
come and encourage the danc-
ers.
Raffle tickets for a variety of
prizes will also be sold.
For those who cannot attend
and would like to lend their sup-
port, donations are welcome.

tact Cindy Teller at 396-0781. Local Zumba enthusiasts often travel to take part in events like Saturday's event scheduled in Granville.
