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

Auditions for this year’s

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

The Christ the King School and Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Rutland have scheduled their open houses for the upcoming school year.

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.

Rutland Catholic Schools include Christ the King School and Mount Saint Joseph Academy. The schools have each provided a tradition of academ-ic excellence in the Rutland region for well over a century. MSJ was founded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1882 and CKS followed in 1886. For more infor-mation, visit www.rutlandcath-olicschools.org.

The Spark Your Winter Blues Dance and Silent Auction willbe held on Saturday, February 4, from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Holiday Inn in Rutland. All adults are welcome to attend the event, which will benefit Rutland Catholic Schools.

Light hors d’oeuvres and desserts will be served and a cash bar will be available.

Spark Your Winter Blues has become an annual event that aims to provide a fun-filled eve-ning and a chance to leave the winter blues behind. It is made possible by talented musicians with strong connections to the Rutland region --and by gener-ous members of the community

and alumni of the schools. Please call Mary Lou Tedesco Harvey (236-3485) or Joann Rotella Ballard (747-8199) for tickets, information, or to donate an item for the silent auction.

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

mkburt@rocketmail.com, or

Kaylie at 468- 5298 or kaylieflan-

nigan@gmail.com.

All of this and much more!
