Time for Mettawee Mania auditionsBy Matthew Rice

Mettawee Mania director
Rod Hawkins seeks singers,
dancers, musicians, comedians
and many more acts for the
night when Pawlet struts its
stuff at the Mettawee

Individual and group acts

“Anything goes as long as
they can do it in roughly five
minutes - for their actual per-
formance - whatever they can
come up with as a talent – as
long as it’s clean – it’s a family-
oriented show but anything
goes if it’s a talent,” Deb
Hawkins said.

Future of Hubbardton Military Roadtopic of meeting in Castleton Jan. 21By Derek Liebig
Local history buffs, hiking fans or
residents simply interested in the
region’s historic military corridors
are invited to attend a meeting that
will formalize the establishment of
the “Friends of the Hubbardton
Military Road” and lay the ground-
work for future projects and events.
The group will host an organiza-
tional meeting from 10 a.m. to noon on
Jan. 21 at the Castleton Free Library,
638 Main Street in Castleton.
The objective of the meeting is to
complete the process of making the
organization an official committee of
the Crown Point Road Association, a
long-established non-profit member-
ship organization dedicated to the
preservation of all information, and
historical traditions concerning the
old Crown Point Military Road.
“The Crown Point Road Association
has already formalized the agreement
and now it’s time for the committee to
formalize it,” committee chair Tom
Hughes said. “This should allow us to
concentrate on programming.”
Hughes said the committee is look-
ing for members of the public who
may be interested in joining.
“It’s for people who may be histori-
cal society members, hikers who are
interested in hiking in new places,
people that own the book (Joseph
Wheeler’s 1968 book on the road “The
Mount Independence-Hubbardton
1776 Military Road”), or people who
own property that the road crossed.”
The groundwork for the organiza-
tion was laid last summer after trust-

sensitive short story writers.”
In the evening, Bass will
speak regarding his 2010 work.
Both events are free and open to
the public.
Bass will discuss his book,
‘Heart of the Monster: Why the
Pacific Northwest and Northern
Rockies Must Not Become an
ExxonMobil Conduit to the
Alberta Tar Sands’ at 6 p.m. in
the Gorge at Withey Hall at
Green Mountain College. The
2010 book was co-authored by
David James Duncan.
“People who care about the
proposed ExxonMobile pipeline
from the Alberta tar sands
would be interested in the eve-
ning lecture, and those who
care about literature -- especial-
ly nature writing -- would be
interested in a public reading
by a well-known
author,” Assistant Professor of
History and Religious Studies
Mary Jane Maxwell said.
The 1,700-mile Keystone XL
pipeline would carry oil from
tar sands in western Canada to
refineries in Texas, passing
through several states includ-
ing Bass’ home state of
Montana.
In preparation for the proj-
ect, oil companies are trans-
porting massive mining equip-
ment through Montana on nar-
row roads that run through
vulnerable wilderness areas
according to Bass’ book.
Concerned about the environ-
mental damage, Bass and his
co-author Duncan postponed
other writing projects to write
the book.
In a Northwest Book Lovers
interview Bass said: “The book
was a steep learning curve for
me. I had to shift from my long-
time efforts to help protect wil-
derness areas in a little million-
acre valley in Northwest
Montana—the Yaak —to a story
with global implications. The
Heart of the Monster isn’t just
about Idaho and Montana. It’s
about corporate power in
America, about salmon and
grizzlies and species extinction
. . . it’s a story that pits irrevers-
ible global warming versus the
integrity of wilderness.”
Bass has published and edit-
ed over 25 books, including non-
fiction, essays, short stories and
novels.
He was born in Fort Worth,
Texas, the son of a geologist.
Bass received a B.S. in geology
at Utah State University and
started writing short stories on
his lunch breaks while working
as a petroleum geologist in
Mississippi.
In 1987, he moved with his
wife, the artist Elizabeth
Hughes, to the remote Yaak
Valley in Montana where he has
since worked to protect
Montana’s wilderness areas
from development and logging
interests.
The recipient of grants from
the Guggenheim Foundation
and the National Endowment
for the Arts as well as a
Lyndhurst Foundation fellow-
ship and his fiction has been
anthologized in Best American
Short Stories as well as numer-
ous journals and magazines.
Bass was the speaker for
Green Mountain College’s
fourth annual Thomas L.
Benson Lecture on April 20.

ees of the Crown Point Road
Association held a hike and
then a seminar in Oct. that gen-
erated interest among some
people to start a group in the
local area.
Besides formalizing the
agreement with CPRA, mem-
bers will brainstorm ideas for
potential projects and events
during 2012 and 2013.
The Crown Point Road was
built in 1759-60 to connect the
fort at Crown Point with Fort
No. 4 in Charleston, N.H.
It was designed to help expe-
dite the movement of troops
and supplies between the two
during the French and Indian
War.
It was used again during the
American Revolution, but per-
haps is more important for its
role in opening up parts of
Vermont for settlement.
The Hubbardton Road sec-
tion was built by the order of
Gen. Horatio Gates in Sept. of
1776 to connect Mount
Independence with Rutland.
The road crossed through
Orwell, Benson, Hubbardton,
Castleton, Ira, and West
Rutland. Finally, it reached its
terminus in Center Rutland.
Parts of the road remain
marked today as trails, and
some are even used as town
roads, while others have long
since disappeared.
The meeting is open to every-
one and light refreshments will
be available.

night, no surprises; suddenly
adding extra performers at the
rehearsals is out.
All performers are welcome,
but the decision as to who
makes the show goes to the
director.
“They’re open to all ages,
anybody can audition,” she
said.
To have some idea of just
how long audition night might
take, Hawkins said calling
ahead to reserve some time is
preferred.
“If you’re interested Rod pre-
fers you call and set up an audi-
tion time,” she said.
Hawkins also wants to be
able to hear the singers so he
asks they plan ahead.
“Anybody who is a singer, if
not accompanying themselves
needs to bring a karaoke CD
and should plan to leave a copy
of the CD for the show, they
need to have a backup for them-
selves,” Hawkins said.
Hawkins suggests those who
want to be on stage should start
rehearsing a favorite song,
brush up on dance routines,
practice an instrument, fine
tune their comedy routine or
magic act, spruce up their jug-
gling or yo-yoing, immediately.
Interested performers need
note rehearsals for the show is
scheduled for Thursday, March
8 and Friday, March 9.
The main event will be held
at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 10.
If you want to schedule your
Mettawee Mania 2012 audition,
please contact Director Rod
Hawkins at (802) 325-3687 to
receive a tryout time for the
night of Feb. 1.
Auditions for this year’s
Mettawee Mania Extravaganza
talent show will begin at 6 p.m.,
and will be held at Mettawee
Community School, Route 153,
West Pawlet, Vt.
“It’s always fun that night,
there’s always something for
everybody,” Hawkins said.
The Dorset Players’ final pro-
duction of its 84th anniversary
season will be “Oliver!” the
award-winning musical adapt-
ed from Charles Dickens’s clas-
sic novel, “Oliver Twist.”
Performances will be held at
7:30 p.m., May 17-20 and May
24-26 and 2 p.m., May 20 and 27.
Auditions for “Oliver!” will
be held in the downstairs
rehearsal room at the Dorset
Playhouse on Cheney Road in
Dorset at 7 p.m. on Tuesday,
Jan. 31 and on Wednesday, Feb.
1.
Each person auditioning, in
addition to reading from the
script, will be asked to sing at
least a portion of a well-known
song and to exhibit their danc-
ing acumen.
Accordingly, all are asked to
bring comfortable shoes to wear
to the audition.
“Oliver!” follows the travails
of Oliver Twist, a young orphan,
as he moves from a public work-
house in 19th century London,
into the world of a gang of pick-
pockets led by the scheming
Fagin and his sartorially splen-
did pupil, Jack Hawkins, other-
wise known as the Artful
Dodger.
Others in the play include
several additional low-life’s,
including the greedy Mr.
Bumble and Widow Carney,
who run the workhouse, as well
as the villainous Bill Sykes and
Nancy, a thief whose willing-
ness to extend a kindness to
Oliver brings about her doom.
There is also the kindly Mr.
Brownlow, who recognizes
something in the young orphan
who never loses his pure heart.
Made into the 1969 film ver-
sion that was awarded the
Academy Award for Best
Picture, “Oliver!” features
Director Kevin O’Toole will
team with Music Director
Michael Gallagher and
Choreographer Ron Ray to help
bring “Oliver!” to the Dorset
Playhouse stage.
There are roles for over thir-
ty men, women and children,
including ten to twelve children
to play orphans and denizens of
Fagin’s lair.
Although the script calls for
boys, girls will be auditioned for
male roles.
Those auditioning must be
at least eight years old.

Auditions for 'Oliver' scheduled by Dorset Players
4 - January 20, 2012 - The Lakes Region FreePress
Ladies’ Night Out Women’s
Chorus from the Rutland area is
getting ready for the 2012 Winter
season. Rehearsals start from 7
to 9 p.m., Tuesday Jan. 24 at the
Rutland Middle School. All
women from age 16 to 80 are
invited to sing with us.
Interested singers should call
Lucy Tenenbaum to set up a
time to get together to find out
where in the chorus you would
fit. This is not an audition, but a
friendly sing-along just to con-
firm that a singer’s voice will fit
into the chorus.
The title of the program for
the season is “Peace and Hope
in 2012” and includes Classical
pieces by Schubert (Psalm 23,
Faith in Spring), Mendelssohn
(Lift thine Eyes), Bach (Sheep
may safely graze), and Classic
songs by Irving Berlin (Give me
your Tired, your Poor) and Cole
Porter (Begin the Beguine), a
Roy Ringwald arrangement of
“No man is an Island”, and
some more contemporary music
by the Beatles (Hey Jude), Sy
and Jill Jackson Miller’s “Let
there be Peace on Earth” and
Aaron Copland’s “At the River”.
Also on the program is Vulpius’
“Spring Will Come Again,” a
Madrigal by Wilbye, “Seek
Sweet Content”, the “Old Irish
Blessing” and Gwyneth
Walker’s “Tree of Peace” as
well as our theme song, also by
GW, “How Can I Keep from
Singing?”.
The group is still hoping for
some more singers, all voice
parts needed. We have a sec-
tional rehearsal in the first few
weeks and make a recording of
each part for rehearsal purpos-
es. Concerts will be the week of
May 8, but are not set yet, pend-
ing availability of the choir

Mount Saint Joseph Academy, which is located on Convent Avenue in Rutland, will hold its Open House at 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 26. MSJ welcomes new students and transfer students to apply for its college preparatory program. In 2011, all of MSJ’s graduating class was admitted to four-year colleges. The class received $548,900 in college scholarships.
Christ the King School’s Open House will occur at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 2, at its campus at 60 South Main Street in Rutland. This is a great opportunity for families to learn more about children attending CKS as a new pre-K student or kindergartener, or as a transfer student through 8th grade. CKS was founded in 1886 and has provided an excellent Catholic education in the Rutland, Vermont region for 125 years. CKS also offers both after-school and before-school care programs.
The schools provide small classes, opportunities to thrive in sports and the arts, and a car-ing, family-type atmosphere. Tuition assistance programs are available. No RSVP is neces-sary to attend either open house. For more information, please contact MSJ at (802) 775-0151 or CKS at (802) 773-0500.

For more infor-mation, visit www.rutlandcath-olicschools.org.

The musical, political parody group Capitol Steps returns to The Paramount Theatre for a performance at 8 p.m., Saturday, Jan.21.
The evening features the pop-ular Washington D.C.-based ensemble performing songs from its latest album ‘Liberal Shop of Horrors,’ as well as new material, updated to the news of the day
According to a recent Capitol Steps interview, “If you’re tired of hearing about health care, bailouts, the environment, the budget, partisan politics, unfaithful politicians or the Tea Party; then you’ve come to the wrong place. With musical polit-ical satire poking fun at all sides of the issues, it’s the one new thing in Washington sure to earn bipartisan support.”
Among the program’s songs are: “ You Can’t Hide This Biden Guy,” “Liberal Shop of Horrors,” “You Don’t Send Me Twitters,” “Don’t Go Fakin’ You’re Smart,” “I’m So Indicted!,” “Help Me Fake It to the Right,” and “Obama Mia.”
Thirty years ago, Capitol
Steps was created when some staffers for Senator Charles Percy were planning entertain-ment for a Christmas party. The Capitol Steps have recorded more than 30 albums, including their special holiday release, Barackin’ Around the Christmas Tree.
“This performance will mark The Capitol Steps eighth visit to this historic hall.” commented Eric Mallete, The Paramount’s Programming Director. “Testament to their up-to-the minute material, every one of the previous seven shows has been fresh and timely! We are enthusiastic to be welcoming these folks back – every season’s return visit is like an extended family reunion!”
Tickets, which are $24.50 to $34.50, for this and all other Paramount Theatre events are available now by phoning The Paramount Theatre Box Office at (802) 775-0903. Tickets may also be purchased online at www.paramountlive.org or at The Paramount Theatre Box Office at 30 Center Street, Rutland.

Kaylie Ann Flannigan and
Maria Burt will spend their
winter break in a nation border-
ing the Caribbean Sea, but don’t
expect the girls, who are both
seniors at Fair Haven Union
High School, to sit idly on the
beach.
The girls are planning a trip
to Honduras with Rotary
International and will partici-
pate in the “Hands to Honduras”
program.
The program is a partner-
ship between North American
and Honduran communities to
provide humanitarian support
and other assistance people liv-
ing along the Atlantida costal
region.
“We will be installing water
filters, building a school room
for a 4th and 5th grade class,
and setting up medical facilities
to help out local people with
their illnesses,” Flannigan said.
Unfortunately their trip does
not come cheap.
They estimate the cost of the
trip is approximately $1,200 and
that doesn’t include money to
purchase of water filters.
So for the past month, the
girls have been organizing fund-
raising events to cover the cost
of travel to the Central
American country and will host
additional events every week-
end through the first week of
February.
This Saturday, Jan. 21, they
will be accepting donations at
the Castleton Corners Citgo sta-
tion from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and
will host a silent auction from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan.
28 at Loft 89 in Fair Haven.
However, their biggest fund-
raiser will be held next month.
The girls have organized a
“Kids Night Out” from 6 to 9
p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 4 at the
Fair Haven Union High School.
The event is geared toward
kids age’s three to six and will
feature children’s games, arts
and crafts, movies and refresh-
ments.
The cost of admission is $10
per child and there will be a
special family discount avail-
able with each additional child
granted admission for $5.
The Hands to Honduras
Program is loosely tied to the
worldwide Rotary International
movement in that it is run by
Rotarians who have an interest
in helping the people of
Honduras.
The Rotary Club of Charlotte-
Shelburne, Vermont – part of
Rotary District 7850 – helps
coordinate the Hands to
Honduras project.
Local communities in the
Atlántida region are asked to
identify projects which are
most needed to improve the
educational, technical, or cul-
tural opportunities for their
populations. The intent is to
seek the projects that could be
concentrated in rural villages
and small towns, though proj-
ects in larger towns are consid-
ered.
The projects become the
responsibility of the local com-
munity for completion and if
successful, Hands to Honduras
will entertain new projects in
the same community the follow-
ing year.
For more information, or to
make a donation, contact Maria
at 683-5797 or by email at
Kaylie at 468- 5298 or kaylieflan-
All of this and much more!
