TOOLS OF THE TRADE

Award-winning Middlebury photographer Brett Simison took this photograph of blacksmith and farrier Lee Beckwith filing the hoofof an horse at the Univ ersity of Vermont's historic Morgan Horse Farm in Weybridge. Beckwith’s expert skills make solid c ontactaround the perimeter of the shoe and hoof without harming the animal. Farrier and blacksmith iobs in the past were more closelyaligned. Now, farriers usually specializ e in horseshoeing and car e of the horse's hoof . Thus, farriers and blacksmiths ar e separatebut closely linked trades.To view other Simison photos in this exquisite Morgan horse series, visit www.BrettSimison.com.

RUTLAND—The staf f and boar d mem-bers of the Chaffee Art Center are excited toannounce that they will be receiving a$30,000 Cultural Facilities Grant fr om theVermont Arts Council.

These funds will be used to help match an$84,000 Save America’s Treasures Grant. Thereceipt of this grant launched a capital cam-paign to update the historic building thathouses the 50-year -old or ganization. TheCultural Facilities Grant puts the organiza-tion “half-way” to its goal of matching thefederal Save America’s Treasures grant. TheChaffee building, known as “Sunny Gables,”was built as a family home by George ThrallChaffee, banker, department stor e owner,lumber mill owner and gentleman farmerand is on state and federal historic registers.

Chaffee chose the site of the Federal CourtHouse to build his family’s home for itsprominent location acr oss fr om the villagegreen. Sunny Gables is a unique, shingle-style V ictorian mansion constr ucted be-tween 1892 and 1896. It is composed of a va-riety of Eur opean and Mid-Eastern stylespopular at the time. Its architectural featuresinclude: lar ge-paned windows, cut marblebase, wrap-around porch, turrets, asymmet-rical floor plan, two-story central hall, andseveral species of wood. It was the firsthome in Rutland to have central heat and in-door plumbing.

The house was a family dwelling until1925 when the Chaffee’s closed the building.

Sunny Gables was r eopened in 1961 andloaned to the Rutland Chamber of Com-merce for the city’s bicentennial celebration.The success of the Bicentennial endeavorprompted a small group of citizens to imme-diately form an association for the sole pur-pose of establishing a permanent art centerin the ar ea. The Art Association purchasedthe building fr om the family in 1976 and itwas converted into a year-round visual artscenter in 1987. It has since become known asthe Chaffee Art Center.

The Cultural Facilities grant funding,along with contributions fr om communitymembers and the Save America’s Treasuresmatch, will be used to impr ove and updatethe building’s electrical system. This firstphase of renovations will include the instal-lation of a new fire alarm system, upgradedelectrical service, total rewiring, devices andefficient light fixtures. An upgraded electri-cal system will allow for expanded program-ming and support futur e restoration of thebuilding.

The capital campaign will continue untilthe full $84,000 Save America’s T reasuregrant is matched. If you would like to helpthe Chaffee meet this goal, donations can bemade through the website at chaf feeartcen-ter.org or mailed to P.O. Box 1447 Rutland,05701. You can also visit the Chaf fee ArtCenter at 16 South Main St. to tour the facil-ity and see architect’s plans for a completerenovation.

Is it that he’s tooshort? Is it theweird, overwrought

way he runs in movies? Is it his pretty, squeaky

clean wife and adorablelittle girl?

Is it his two older adopt-ed kids who’re good-look-ing and thriving? (I con-fess. I read People maga-zine).

Is it his intensity? His busted nose? Is it that his nose works with his face,

but yours doesn’t work with yours? Is it that he’s physically fit? Is it that he’s a short guy with a small

guy attitude? That he’s figured how to make-work to

the tune of hundreds of millions of dol-lars? (Sure, money isn’t important but inthe process of his making hundreds ofmillions he’s helped afford thousands offolks very good livings, right down tothe popcorn kids at your local theatre.So, money is important.)

The jumping on the couch for theOprah Show, is that it? You think thatwas a stupid move? Sure you do, and al-ways will—right up until the one youlove goes in front of the nation and de-clares their love for you by jumping forjoy on Oprah’s couch.

Is it that he’s seen Nicole, Penelope,Cher, Mimi, and Katie naked?

Is it that he’s gotten more ladies onscreen then you have in your wildestdreams?

Is it that he’s a walking, living, breath-ing cooperation, and you just got firedfrom your latest $12 an hour job?

Is it that he stars, helps write, pro-duces, and does many of his own stuntsin his movies, and he works 20 timesharder than most of us?

Is it because he abides a religion thatteaches one to believe that each personhas the answers to the mysteries of life?

Is it because he could hire you, but you

couldn’t hire him? And ifhe hired you you’d knowyou’d have to tow the line,or you’d be out? And if hehired you you’d know youwere working on some-thing he’s behind, andyou’d be thrilled beyondbelief, not to mentioncrazily excited the mo-ments before he firstwalked into view?

Is it because his teeth arekind of screwed, but

they’re cool as hell? Does his nice hair bother you? How ‘bout when he spoke out against

anti-psychotic drugs when being inter-viewed by Matt Lauer on the TodayShow. Did that bother you? If so, why?

Did you listen closely and carefully towhat he was saying?

You might agree with him if you did,or at least respect his opinion of anti-psy-chotic drugs.

Is it you think, “His movies suck?”Mmm? Ever see “Taps”, “All the RightMoves”, “Top Gun”, “The Color of Mon-ey”, “Rain Man”, “A Few Good Men”,“The Firm”, Mission: Impossible (1-4)”,“Magnolia”, “War of the Worlds”, TropicThunder”? They all sucked? Is that right?

I bet you wish you were an extra onany one of them, especially if Tom wasworking in the scene you were in.

I’ve heard from you—all the abovelines— as reasons why you dislike actorTom Cruise. I easily remembered thembecause they’re the exact reasons why Ilike Tom Cruise.

What’s with you people who don’t likeTom Cruise? Is he something else youknow? He’s quite a rig. You should tryliking him. You’d like him—if you did.

Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and NorthernNew York with his act “The Logger.” His col-umn appears weekly. Reach him [email protected].

What’s not to like about Cruise?

I’ve lived around school zones mostof my life. I have seen school zonesturn from quiet places at 10 a.m. to

figurative combat zones at 8 a.m. and againat 2:30-3 p.m., the dreaded parent/kiddiewitching hours.

Don’t get me wrong. I love schools. Ilove teachers. I even love the cherry cheeksof America’s texting youth. But it is withsome parent drivers that I have a bone topick.

As a long-time resident of Pennsylvania,I not only grew up one block removed froma suburban public middle school, but yearslater—in the same city—I rented my firstapartment across the street from a publichigh school.

Then, just a few years later, I became atemporary resident of Arizona only to findmyself selecting one of the few affordableapartments in the greater Phoenix metroarea near yet another suburban publicschool zone.

For many years, it was just my luck, orlack thereof, to find low-rent hovels rightsmack, dab in the middle of America’s au-tomotive test tracks—I mean—schoolzones.

Thus, having lived near these various in-stitutions of learning and extracurricularactivities over the years, I must cautionthose of you who have no school businessto stay clear during certain daylight hours.

I have been an eyewitness to displays ofsome of the worst automobile driving prac-tices—at least outside of downtown Bom-bay—around schools.

From my personal experience, the worstdrivers aren’t high school teens in theirroaring jalopies. I am sorry to report thatthe worst drivers, on any typical schoolday in America, are some adults, parents—Mr. and Mrs. Soccer Mom.

I often imagine momma bear or poppabear behind the wheel of a hurtling pieceof machinery approaching one of ourschool zones. She (or he), having justemerged from a sleepy den, is tasked withprotecting a precious cargo of fuzzy cubs

from an army of Sigourney Weaver ’s goo-slobbering Aliens—but the aliens, as seenthrough the glazed eyes of momma or pop-pa, are in the guise of innocent pedestriansand drivers who just happen to be passingthrough a school zone at the wrong time—at drop-off and pick-up times.

Pedestrians, at peril of losing some or allof their body parts when stepping off acurb around these school zones, are rarelygiven so much as an eye contact nod bysome parent drivers.

Some parents behind the wheel are fo-cused not on defensive driving, but moreon offensive driving.

Protecting the cubs comes first, which isunderstandable, but ignoring the simplerules of the road strikes me as dangerousfor the precious cargo as well as innocentbystanders.

Some parents seem more focused on theticking of dashboard clocks that are eithermaking them late for work or late in deliv-ering the kids to the safety of home atday’s end.

That’s why protecting young passengersshouldn’t include barreling through low-MPH zones, zipping through handy shop-ping-center parking lots (or abandoned carwash drive-thrus) in order to avoid peskysignal lights, and assuming pedestrianswill stay on the curb when they alreadyhave the right-of-way entering cross-walks—at least in this state.

Meanwhile, innocent drivers and pedes-trians—with no stake in shuttling the nextgeneration between points A and B atbreakneck speed—have become impedimen-ta to some parents behind the wheel.

It’s now a universal truth in the suburbs:Hell hath no fury like a parent driving thekids to and from school.

So, the next time a van, wagon, or SUVwith a cargo of kiddies is hurtling downthe lane in your direction—for God’ssake—get out of the way. Heaven forbidyou become another traffic statistic.

The size and ageof the Milky WayBefore we can

contemplate thescale of our uni-

verse, we must firstcome to grips with thesheer magnitude of ourhome galaxy, known tous as the Milky Way.

The Milky WayGalaxy is thought to beeither a barred spiral orspiral or whirlpool typegalaxy—more or lessdisk shaped withswirling or tightlycocked arms composed of interstellar gas, dust, stars,planets and other celestial objects.

It’s by no means simple to determine what ourgalaxy would look like when viewed from above (or be-low) it, especially since our solar system is embeddedwithin it. But astronomers have extrapolated the sizeand general shape of the Milky Way based upon ouredge-on view of the galaxy’s center as seen from Earth.

So, based upon these extrapolations, astronomers be-lieve the vast disk of the Milky Way to be approximate-ly 100,000 light years or 30 kiloparsecs in diameter (youcan figure out the Milky Way’s metric length basedupon the formula of one light year equaling 9.5 x 1,015meters). While the Milky Way’s disk is gigantic is scale,it’s only about 1,000 light years thick which is surpris-ingly very thin in comparison.

If you constructed a scale model of our galaxy, itwould closely resemble—at least in basic conceptthough not in flavor—a pizza pie.

Within our galactic pizza-pie is a topping and crustcomposed of interstellar dust, gases, 200 billion stars,more or less, various celestial objects, and 50 billionplanets—with 500 million being Earthlike. We haven’tfactored-in the number of rogue planets adrift in theMilky Way. There may be twice as many of these free-floating, sunless/solar system-less planets as there arestars.

Based upon deep space images in both the visibleand infra-red realms of the electromagnetic or EM spec-trum, most of the Milky Way’s stars appear situatedwithin the disk of the galaxy. Also, some stars orbit be-low, above, and alongside the galactic plane. On theedges, galactic boundaries are not so neatly defined.

In addition to extrapolating how many stars are inour galaxy, astrophysicists have figured out the age ofthe Milky Way, too.

Physicists first calculated the abundance of the ra-dioactive elements thorium-232 and uranium-238 in thegalaxy (an educated guess), then back-tracked the orig-inal abundance of these elements. The resulting age—more or less—of the Milky Way ranges up to 16 Ga orGya, a whopping long time ago.

That’s all well and good, but what’s a “Ga” or “Gya”,you ask? Suffice it to say that “Ga” is astronomicalshorthand for what’s known as a Giga annum, and“Gya” is short for Giga years ago, a unit of time. Identi-cal to “Gya” is “Bya” (Billion years ago) to make it easi-er. Ann less confusing terms—that is, if millions andbillions are less confusing—the age of our galaxy issomewhere between 800 million and 13.5 billion yearsold, possibly much higher as noted in the “Ga” short-hand.

Since the 1990s, research in the United States has re-vealed that certain isotopes of the element berylliummay provide an even more accurate way of determiningthe age of the Milky Way. More about beryllium abun-dance in our early galaxy in a future column.

KILLINGTON — After the Superstar Pub,located at the base lodge at Killington Re-sort, fell victim to Tropical Storm Irene, theowners quickly r eplaced the some 250-seatresort staple with two umbrella bars.

In fact, the two structures which are 12 and15 meters in diameter each, are now current-ly the largest umbrella bars in North Amer-ica. The enclosed glass str uctures dubbedthe Roaring Br ook Umbr ella Bar, featur estamarack wood floors, concr ete, outside-heated decks and bar furniture created withfine, imported woods.

Roaring Brook recently hosted an invite-only, Specialty Experiences launch partywhich very some very special guests, includ-ing Olympic Skiers Picabo Street and DonnaWeinbrect, Brattlebor o snowboar der IanCompton, curr ent top competitor and Lin-coln boarder Yale Cousino and extreme ski-er and video producer Dan Egan.

The event was highlighted by the unveil-ing of Killington Resort's new skiing pr o-grams, including specially-priced weekendpackages for January and Febr uary whichinclude ski lessons, coaching and videoanalysis, breakfast and lunch with these ski-ing personalities.

Holiday Hockey Tournament In the consolation game of the recent Bar-

ry Van Gerbig Holiday Hockey Tournamentat Spartan Arena, the Rutland High Schoolboys' hockey team broke a scoreless tie ear-ly in the second period, en route to a 2-0 winover a very game Woodstock squad.

Although Rutland dominated most of theplay, Woodstock goalie Connor Blair wasspectacular, single-handedly keeping histeam in the game with a whopping 37 savesin the net. Although they wer e largely out-matched, Woodstock is a young team and de-serves cr edit for hanging in ther e with a

much bigger and more experienced Rutlandteam.

The deciding goal was a fluke of sorts, asa shot fr om Nate Coombs was initiallystopped by Blair, but the puck then bouncedhigh in the air and somehow into the back ofthe net for a 1-0 Rutland lead.

The Raiders would get an insurance goalin the third period from Sam Major, but thegame was r eally decided by the luckybounce in the second period. The win (atpress time) improved Rutland to 2-3 on theseason, while Woodstock remained winlessafter five tries.

MSJ Falls in Hoop TournamentIn the r ecent championship game of the

Green Mountain Girls' Holiday Hoop Tour-nament in Chester , Mount Saint JosephAcademy hung tough for three quarters, buteventually fell to the Springfield Lady Cos-mos, 54-44.

MSJ could not find an answer for Spring-field's Chelsea McAllister, who led all scor-ers with 26 points. Mor gan Johnson alsoadded 10 points for the Lady Cosmos, who(at press time) moved to 4-0 on the season.MSJ was led by Alex reedy with 10 points,while Claire Schmelzenbach. MSJ fell to 0-4on the season but to their credit, played anundefeated team very hard.

Poultney's Ali Jones Scores 1,000 Points Poultney High School senior hoop stand

out Ali Jones recently scored her 1,000th ca-reer point for the Blue Devils on the har d-wood. Jones follows in the footsteps of hermother, Kim (Thomas) Jones, who is Poult-ney High School's all-time leading scor er.Ali also just so happens to be coached by herfather, Dan Jones.
