There is little doubtthat the K9 units of statepolice departments facesome of the mostdangerous situations inpolice work – fromliterally chasing downand capturing armedcriminals to sniffing outcontraband in thedangerous environmentof a drug house.

Whitney Woods, amiddle school studentliving in Proctorsville,has made it a personalgoal to make sure thesehardworking police dogsare protected as much aspossible.

To that end, Whitneyhas been raising funds toprovide all of the dogs inthe Vermont State PoliceK9 Units with the latest inbullet proof vesttechnology. Theequipment is notprovided by the policeforce, but must bepurchased by theindividual dog handler.

Whitney becameinterested in her projectthrough a family friend,State Police Officer KevinHughs and his dog Bohdan, and hearing about a dogin Rutland that had been shot at. The three have donea number of obedience classes and demonstrationfundraisers over the last several months, and so farhave raised $2360. They’ve been able to buy vests forfour dogs, and have four more to go to cover all thedogs in the state.

“We’ve been buying a newer, lighter model of vest,”Whitney said. “It’s $100 more than the first ones welooked at, but they come with a reflector and a handle

on the back so the officer can help them get overthings like fences. They’re lighter so the dog can wearthem longer. We wanted the best for the dogs.”

Whitney said she is creating a foundation websiteand linking it to the Vermont K9 Association wherepeople can donate directly online.

The site will be available at www.bulletproofwhit-neysfriends.webs.com. People can also call 226-7512for more information, or send donations to PO Box111, Proctorsville, VT 05153.

Opportunity Opens to Name Ludlow ArmoryIn a letter to Ludlow property owners, Frank

Heald, Ludlow Town Manager, advised that a"naming opportunity" existed for "individual,family, or company" to rename the Ludlow Armorybuilding or sections within it.

The Armory facility is being purchased by Ludlowand renovated to serve multiple functions within thetown. Heald's letter notes that the structure willhouse "a gymnasium, office and classroom space,and envisions a kitchen and dining area. Thesefunctions will serve existing school/recreationalneeds and will provide the opportunity for expandedcommunity activities that need larger enclosedspaces and/or dining capabilities."

The committee appointed by the Select Board tohelp define the usage of the Armory believes itrepresents an opportunity for someone or group tohonor a person, family, or group by making a taxdeductible donation that would help defray the$750,000 budgeted for the Armory's renovation.

Anyone interested in pursuing this matter maycontact Heald at the Ludlow Town Hall.

Okemo Mountain Resort will commemorateNational Safety Awareness Week, Jan. 16-22 with ahost of fun events and activities to help educate skiersand riders and promote on-mountain safety.

The National Ski Areas Association named OkemoMountain Resort winner of the Best Helmet SafetyProgram in its 2009 Heads Up National Ski AreaSafety Awards. Nine resorts were recognized indifferent safety program categories and Okemo wasthe only New England resort to receive honors.

Each season, the awards recognize those resorts thathave done an outstanding job of educating employeesand guests about skiing and snowboarding respon-sibly.

“Safety First” is a mantra for Okemo staff membersthroughout the winter season, but it is during theannual NSAA Safety Awareness Week, in January, thatOkemo turns its commitment to safety into a full-blown event.

Starting Jan. 16 and running through NationalSafety Awareness Week, anyone who purchases a newski or snowboard helmet at Okemo's SnowsportsShop will receive a coupon for 50 percent off a full-day lift ticket, or 50 percent off a full-day equipmentrental or high-performance demo, or 50 percent off agroup lesson or adult clinic.

New this year, $10 from every helmet purchase willbenefit the Vermont Children’s Hospital Phatprogram: $5 from Okemo and $5 from the helmetmanufacturer.

Vermont’s own PHAT team (Protect Your Head atAll Times/Protect Your Head on All Terrain) will bereturning to Okemo from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Sunday,Jan. 17. The Vermont Snow Sports Research Team, apartnership of Vermont Children's Hospital atFletcher Allen Health Care and the University ofVermont College of Medicine will be on location tohelp educate skiers and riders about helmet use.

Over the past five years, this team has been focusedon developing a program to prevent serious head

injuries by increasing voluntary ski helmet use amongchildren and adults.

The team of physicians and health care providers isheaded by Robert Williams, M.D., pediatric anesthe-siologist and critical care specialist at VermontChildren's Hospital at Fletcher Allen.

In addition to education, the team’s project includesobservations of skiers and riders to track data abouthelmet use. Their work has been presented at medicalconferences, accepted for publication in medicaljournals and has been extensively covered by newsmedia nationwide.

The program’s presence at a resort includes posters,distribution of brochures, an exhibit, stickers andprizes. The program is non-coercive and is designedto promote both helmet use and skiing andsnowboarding as a healthy lifestyle. Visitwww.skihelmetsafety.org for more information.

Okemo will host a “Helmet Head” contest on Jan.17. Okemo staff members will be out on the mountaintaking pictures of willing candidates showing theirbest helmet head – that cool, disheveled look ofmatted hair that happens when a skier orsnowboarder removes his helmet after a great day onthe slopes.

A panel of judges will select the top-ten best helmetheads and post those photos on Okemo’s blog(www.okemo.blogspot.com) for voting by blogvisitors. The candidate who receives the most voteswill win two complimentary lift tickets for a day ofskiing or riding at Okemo.

Also on Jan. 17, as a way to promote safety and tofamiliarize skiers and riders with the SkierResponsibility Code, a Safety Scavenger Hunt willtake place on the slopes of Okemo. Elements of the“Code” and “Smart Style” will be strategically placedalong trails all over the mountain. Winners whocollect The Code elements will receive prizes.

The Rutland County Hu-mane Society (RCHS) wouldlike to remind you that petsneed special care during thecold winter months. Dogsand cats should be insidewhen the temperaturedrops.

If your dog is outside, itmust be protected by a dry,draft-free doghouse. Wind-chills can be especially diffi-cult for animals and canthreaten their life. Make surethat pets who are outside have water that isn't frozen andis in plastic bowls, as metal ones can get very cold and theirtongues can stick and freeze to it.

Wipe your animals paws after they've been outside to re-move the salt and other chemicals they may come in con-tact with which can irritate them. Be especially careful withantifreeze as it's a deadly poison but has a sweet taste whichattracts animals.

Watch for frostbite on their ears and other areas. For moreinformation and tips, please contact the shelter at 483-6700.

imals and will fit well into most homes. I know sit and

I do have a small, harmlessgrowth on my eye that doesn’tcause me any trouble. If youare looking for dog who is

Freezing Temps & Frozen Waters – Ice Fishing Season Has Begun

Story and Photos by Robert F. Smith – EditorThe setbacks on the Connecticut River, where the currents

are slow, the ice stable and thick, and the fishing is fine, areamong the favorite ice fishing spots in the region. Once tem-peratures remain sufficiently cold to freeze several inches

of ice, fishing shanties, some of them decades old, begin tomake their annual appearance on the river.

With a space heater and a few hot – or cold – beverages,an amiable companion or two and a few free hours, theshanties make what can be a rather demanding sport

tolerable and even fun.Vermont law requires that the shanties be removed from

the ice by the last Sunday in March, which this year is the28th. Common sense dictates that anglers always make surethe ice is safe before walking on it.

Above and at right, some of the ice fishing shanties and fishermen on the setback of the Connecti-cut River in Springfield.

This year the donation amounted to over $600. AsPaul cheerfully says, “Peter ’s doing too good a joband it’s costing me more money.” Peter has alreadybegun fundraising for next year. How pleased we areto know that there exists among today’s youth, thosethat really live the Christmas spirit all year long.

He returnedto New England in 2005 and opened his studio at 33Bridge Street. His design ideas come from the beautyhe finds in Nature, as well as from family, friends, andstudio visitors. When designing a piece, his goal is toallow the decoration or floral pattern to dictate theform of the piece so as to provide harmony betweenthe two. Find Chris at his studio by chance orappointment.

Dear Linda, As you well know, we are always questioning the most effective way to get our message out to our cus tomers and to potential customers. While we were somewhat resistant to advertising in yet another print media, yo u convinced us to at least try the Outlook as a means of expanding our customer base in Ludlow, Londonderry and the surro unding area. It has worked! We had an immediate response in the first week of advertising in the Outlook . We are seein g a continual growth in telephone inquiries and in-person contacts. More importantly, we are seeing an increase in the numbe r of customers we are gaining in the southern Vermont area. Several of our new customers, expressed that they were not aware of our store until reading our ads in the Outlook. This included some permanent residents as well as second-home owners. This surprised us because Sofas ‘n More is one of the largest distributors of home furnishings, mattresses and accessories in the area. It has been in bus iness since 1946. Operating under the name Hy-Way furniture till 1993 and since 1995 as Sofas ‘n More. Our owner, Norm Lash, co ntinues his family’s commitment to offer the highest quality products at a fair price. We have an outstanding record with the Better Business Bureau; have been recognized for 11 Years as “THE BEST PLACE TO BUY FURNITURE IN THE RUTLAND AREA”. Customers are always impressed with the scope and variety of our inventory. We have a 25,000 square foot showroom with over 75 living room/ den displays from famous brands as La-Z-Boy, Ashley, Klaussner, Flexsteel, Best Chair, and Legacy. Each of these displays are designed to make th e shopping experience easy. The customer can select just a piece or the room and be confident that it will impress their f riends and family alike. We, also, have one of the largest selections of bedrooms & dining room displays. And we carry a full lin e of Serta mattress, including Memory Foam and Latex, all at the lowest prices in the area. Our Customer Consultants are trained, experienced individuals committed to customer service with a n o pressure approach. We offer full service, professional, seven day delivery to better accommodate our customers busy sc hedules as well as the second-home owner who often times is only here on the weekend. Thanks, Linda, for helping us get our message out. We appreciate your professionalism and look forwa rd to working with you in the future.

In the consolation game of the recent GreenMountain Holiday Tournament, the host GreenMountain Lady Chiefs took it to Hinsdale (NH) incruising to a 76-20 win at Nason Gym in Chester.

This one was never in doubt from the outset asGreen Mountain scored early and often, jumping outto a quick 15-point first quarter lead and neverlooking back.

Carley Stauffer and Emma Lisle got it going

offensively, while the Lady Chiefs pressing defensestifled the Hinsdale offense producing severalturnovers and easy baskets on the other end.

Green Mountain took a whopping 42-10 lead intohalf time, with Stauffer leading the way with 15points, Lisle with 10 and Betsey Stauffer pitching inwith six.

The second half would see much of the same, asGreen Mountain scored the first 10 points of the thirdquarter to take a 52-10 lead, including two jumpersfrom Carley Stauffer, two lay ups from McKala

Benson and a put-back inside from Lisle.Early in the fourth quarter the lead would stretch

to 62-12, as the Lady Chiefs continued to dominatethe play. Hinsdale would make one eight-point runhalfway through the quarter, but that would be it asGreen Mountain would cruise to the easy 56-pointwin.

Carley Stauffer led the way for the Lady Chiefs with29 points, while Lisle had 12 points and Bensonpitched in with 11. Roxy Smith led Hinsdale with ninepoints.

Filmed in 2004, TrevorHorn celebrated 25 years asone of pop music's greatestproducers, with a specialWembley Arena concert inaid of The Prince's Trust.Over a dozen bands andacts came together tocelebrate the legacy of thislegendary producer.

The show opens withHorn's one early stint as aperformer with TheBuggles, with "VideoKilled The Radio Star" and"Living In A Plastic Age".Of course, the former ofwhich would go down inimmortality as the veryfirst broadcast-launchingvideo of MTV in 1981.

What would follow is a25 year colorful collectionof rock, pop, jazz and R & Bthat makes one begin torealize the scope of musicaltalent that Horn hasproduced and whosecareers he helped cultivateover his diverse career.

One by one they cameonstage, Grace Jonesperforming "Slave To TheRhythm", ABC''s "ShootThat Poison Arrow" and"Look Of Love" and Art OfNoise with "Close To TheEdit", certainly covered the80's pop hits category.

However, one aspect ofHorn's career many rockfans don't realize is thatafter The Buggles, he wasnot only a member of Yes in1980, but also producedarguably the band's mostpopular album in 1984's90124.

An interesting version ofYes performs here, withoutvocalist Jon Anderson butwith both Steve Howe andTrevor Rabin on guitar toperform the stunninginstrumental "Cinema" andtheir biggest radio hit"Owner Of A LonelyHeart".

Next up it's 80's pop-dance phenom The PetShop Boys performing

their hits "Left To My OwnDevices" and "It's Alright",before Euro-icon LisaStansfield performed herlatest, "Takes A Woman ToKnow".

Horn has also producedseveral albums for croonerSeal, who performed"Killer', "Kiss From A Rose"and "Crazy", before theever-eccentric FrankieGoes To Hollywood closedthe night with "Welcome ToThe Pleasuredome", "TwoTribes" and "Relax".

Along with this diversegroup of artists whogathered to celebrate theirproducer, Horn’s backupband is equally as stellar,including Geoff Downs(the other Buggle and ofAsia), Lol Crème, AnneDudley, Alan White of Yesfame, as well as a fullorchestra, several elegantback up singers and astellar stage and lightshow. An amazingspectacle indeed.


A SoundReviewJoe’s take on New Music

A SoundReviewJoe’s take on New Music

It’s the End of the World as We Know It -

Again & Again & AgainWell, the 2009 calendar came to an end

last Friday, but the world didn’t. Why isthat remarkable? Because evidently theancient Mayan calender is coming to anend in Dec. 2012, and there is a movie,a few thousand websites and a fewhundred books out there that are tryingto make a case that the end of the Mayancalendar on the winter equinox meansthe end of the world in 2012.

Or, at least, the end of the world as weknow it. The topic has been the mostpopular on NASA’s questions from thepublic website for the past two years.

So, it seems that a calendar ending hasa considerable consequence, at least inthe minds of some folks. Of course, allcalendars end – as did the year 2009 lastweek on the Gregorian calendar, the onenow universally accepted, and it endedwithout any sort of “end of the world aswe know it” event. Just like every otheryear.

There are also Hebrew, Chinese,Indian and Islamic calendars, amongothers. In fact, the Mayans had a coupleof dozen different calendars. The one inquestion is called the “long calendar,”measuring a period of over 5,000 years.What happened when all the otherMayan calendars ran out?

Nothing. But a lucrative cottageindustry has developed around peoplesaying “something” is going to happenon Dec. 21, 2012 that will be the “end ofthe world as we know it,” perhaps the

end of life on Earth, orperhaps just universalenlightenment.

I refer to predictionslike these about theMayan calendar asquantum leap “logic,”something very commonamong secular andreligious prophets. Theystart out with what seemslogical reasoning, andthen, at some point in the

process, they take a quantum leap to atotally unrelated point.

In this case it goes like this: theMayans were really into calendars,astrology and predictions. All true.They have one calendar that ends onDec. 21, 2012. Also true. Therefore – andhere is the quantum leap in logic – eventhough they didn’t say so, the Mayansmust have been indicating thatsomething Earth-shaking will happenwhen that calendar ends.

Predictions like this are nothing new.Jewish and Christian believers, spurredon by the fact that several books of theBible claim to be prophetic, have beenmaking prophetic claims for centuries.

In fact, you’d be hard pressed to finda time in the last few thousand yearswhen someone wasn’t proclaiming thatthe signs predicting that the “day of theLord,” or the return of Christ, orArmageddon, had all been fulfilled andthe end of the world as we know it wascoming any day now.

In the 20th Century, religious andNew Age groups by the score nameddates in nearly every decade, right up tothe very last day of the century, as thetime of the Second Coming or the Battleof Armageddon or the Rapture or theAge of Peace and Enlightenment.

There has been one thing all of thesepredictions have in common – they haveall been wrong.

So, I’m going out on a real limb hereand making a prophecy of my own.What’s going to happen on Dec. 21,2012? I’ll tell you.

Nothing out of the ordinary, andcertainly not the end of the world as weknow it.

Snowboard TragedyIn some unfortunate

and very scary localsnowboarding news,Norwich-native KevinPearce, considered amedal contender insnowboarding for theupcoming VancouverOlympics, suffered aserious head injuryduring halfpipe trainingin Park City, UT.

While attempting adouble cork, twistingdouble backflip, Pearcehit his head on the edgeof the halfpipe and wasknocked unconscious.

He was flown to theUniversity of UtahHospital in Salt Lake Cityto undergo surgery torelieve pressure on hisbrain.

Just two months ago,Pearce had done aninterview in which hetalked about thedifficulty of the doublecork and how perfectingthe difficult move wouldeffect and influence thesport moving forward.

Pearce grew up inNorwich and learned hissnowboarding skills atthe local OkemoMountain and StrattonMountain schools andwas expected to not onlymake the U.S. Olympicteam, but challenge goldmedalist Shaun White.

At press time, therewas no further news onPearce’s condition, butlet us hope and pray thatthe young man will beokay.

Local Hoops ActionThe woes continue for

the Bellows Falls UnionHigh School basketballprograms, as the LadyTerriers suffered anothertough loss, this time atthe hands of Windsor, 85-13, at Windsor.

Carlin Hood led theway for Windsor with 22points, while MollyBruno, Tegan Cooley andAbbey Wright all pitchedin with nine points each.Sara Dumont led theTerriers with six points.

---------------------------The Springfield High

School girls' hoop teamrecently took a tough lossat Mill River, dropping a52-29 loss in NorthClarendon.

Chelsea Bagley led theway for Mill River,scoring 10 of her teams'first 12 points of the gamewhile on her way to 21 onthe night.

Her teammate RebeccaDay also had a strong

game with 19 points.Mill River's Alyssa

Turgeon also played a bigrole in the windefensively, effectivelyholding Springfield's topscorer, Kayle Perham, to11 points on the night.

Jenna Paul added sixpoints for the LadyCosmos while TaylorThomas and MorganJohnson each pitched inwith five.

----------------------------West Rutland boys'

hoop team recently got anice home win overCabot, 49-21, at Westside.The win put West Rutlandat 3-4 on the season.

Spencer Mumford ledthe way for the GoldenHorde with 17 points,while Emmitt Ackermanand Adan Garcia pitchedin with 16 and 10 pointsrespectively.

Tim Ksepka led the wayfor the Cabot Huskieswith six points.

Local Hockey ActionAfter recently winning

their own Barry VanGerbig HolidayTournament, the RutlandRaiders boys' hockeyteam was quicklybrought back to realityafter suffering a 5-1 lossat the hands of NorthCountry, at SpartanArena.

Rutland actually scoredfirst on a Greg Roy goal atthe five-minute mark ofthe first period, but itwould be all Falcons afterthat.

North Country gotgoals from EmileHartman in the firstperiod, Greg Bronson andJoey Rushford in thesecond period and JoshBernier and DylanColumbia in a verybalanced attack.

Despite the loss,Rutland goalie CaseyGreene played well,making 20 saves withquite frankly, not much

defense in front of him.The loss put Rutland at 5-3-1 on the year.

--------------------------Pats Playoff PictureThe New England

Patriots head into theplayoffs as a divisionwinner, but withoutmuch momentum afterblowing another fourthquarter lead at Houstonto end the regular season.

Making matters worse,the Pats also arguablylost their most productiveoffensive player whenwide receiver Wes Welkerwent down with a kneeinjury, ending his season.

On a good note, NewEngland does get a homegame in the first roundagainst Baltimore, awinnable game indeed.

However the Patswould then have to travelto San Diego and take onthe Chargers, arguablythe hottest team in theNFL and currently on an11-game winning streak.

Chiefs Fall To Websterville In Holiday TournamentStory and photos by

Joe Milliken - Sports EditorIn the consolation

game of the recent GreenMountain Union HighSchool HolidayTournament in Chester,the Chieftains hungtough, but fell toWebsterville, 44-41, atNason Gym.

Despite having to dealwith 6-foot-7 center inthe paint, GreenMountain did a prettygood job in the first halfof mixing it up insideand getting a fewoffensive rebounds andput-back baskets.

Ian Currie had a hothand early with a couple3-pointers and put-backinside, while Ian Furreralso muscled up insidefor a couple baskets,which was all goodenough for a 14-11 Chieflead after one quarter.

However, the

presence ofWebsterville's heightwas also felt as the bigcenter had three blocks,six points and hand fullof rebounds in the firstquarter alone.

In the second quarterthe Chiefs continued toplay pretty well, asjunior Jason Albert hit acouple outside shotsincluding a 3-pointer,guard Justin Veyseydrove the lane a coupletimes for buckets andFurrer continued tohustle under the basket,as the Chiefs took a 30-23 lead into halftime.

However, the secondhalf would be a differentstory as Websterville'ssize took control of therebounding and theChieftains went coldoffensively, allowing thecome back andultimately, a tough lossfor Green Mountain.

Clockwise from right, Green Mountain’s Ian Currie shoots a base line jump shot, the Chief’s Jacob Walker puts up a shot in the paint,Justin Veysey drives to the hoop, GM’s Ian Furrer puts up a floater in the lane and the Chiefs’ Justin Veysey splits the defense.
