Tidbits from Then & Now

Submitted by Fred Remington

A new opera house: rumor that L. H. McIntire is to build one on Willow St.
(TODAY: HOME OF THE PARKING DECK) Ever since Mr. McIntire bought the Annie Pierpoint property on Center St. two weeks ago Rutland business men have been speculating as to what he would do with it. The building includes not only the property on Center St. occupied by Smiths shoe store, Gosselins meat market and Popes candy kitchen, but also a large parcel of land in the rear of these stores with a frontage of about 200 feet on Willow St. Beginning at the east end of W.E. Barker`s livery stable, Mr. McIntire owns all the land on the south side up to the Berwick House line. It was learned from the best of authority Thursday that Mr. McIntire is contemplating the erection of a modern opera house on his new property. The only thing that stands in the way of the erection of the building is the doubt as to whether the people of Rutland would appreciate a first-class theater enough to make it a paying institution. As to the appreciation of the show folks there is no doubt. Dozens of the best companies pass through here very season on their way from New York to Montreal, which would be glad to stop off if the city afforded decent theatrical accommodations. A man very intimate with Mr. McIntire said Thursday that if the opera house were built it would be up to date in design, construction and finish. The building would be a one-story affair, with the main entrance on Center St. Right here is the particular advantage of Willow street location. If the opera house fronted on a business street it would hardly pay to build a single-story building and the theater would have to be perched up in the air over a row of stores. It is understood that Mr. McIntire`s opera house, if built, will be inferior to the fine theaters in the cities only in size. The stage will be of suitable size, equipped with all the modern machinery and appliances, and the dressing rooms will be large and commodious. The auditorium will be circular in shape, with raised tiers of seats, every one looking toward the stage. The whole will be topped by a handsome dome from which will be suspended a gorgeous chandelier sparkling with hundreds of lights. Theater boxes and galleries come in as a matter of course. All danger in case of fire will be guarded against by giving the theater seven exits. Mr. Mcintire will probably begin the preliminary work as soon as he definitely decides to put up the building.

Parishes throughout the Rutland deanery are offering a Welcome Home Mass to welcome Catholics who have not been to Mass recently, for whatever reason, back to Mass. Each parishioner has been asked to invite at least one family member or friend to the special Mass, in the hopes the family member or friend will return and take advantage of all the opportunities that Mass attendance offers. Each Mass will be followed by a reception at the parish, with refreshments and a viewing of a video that Christ the King parishioner Teri Corsones of Mendon, Vermont has been filming

Welcome Home masses this weekend!

over the past several months. Persons of all ages at the different parishes have participated in the video, by responding to the question Why do you love the Mass? The video is a montage of the responses, along with footage of images of the different parishes which are participating in the Welcome Home Mass event. The parishes include (in alphabetical order), along with the time of the Mass this Sunday: St. Alphonsus in Pittsford (9:00 a.m.); St. Bridget in West Rutland (9:00 a.m.); Christ the King in Rutland (11:00 a.m.); St. Dominic in Proctor (9:15 a.m.); St. Frances in West

Pawlet (11:15 a.m.); St. John the Baptist in Castleton (8:30 a.m.); Our Lady of Seven Dolors in Fair Haven (9:00 a.m.); St. Patrick in Wallingford (9:15 a.m.); St. Paul in Orwell (10:30 a.m.); St. Peter in Rutland (11:00 a.m.) and St. Stanislaus in West Rutland (4:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 24). Persons participating in the video have ranged from toddlers to parishioners in their nineties, and all ages in between, says Corsones, who has found the responses to the question of why so many attend Mass heartwarming and inspirational. Along with sometimes the younger kids response I

have no choice; my Mom and Dad make me go! the reasons vary from really enjoying the peace and tranquility the Mass offers in contrast to the hectic pace of daily living, to being a chance for families to be together in thanksgiving for having one another (and to get the grace to put up with each other!), to loving the beautiful music, rituals and traditions found in the Mass, to learning from the priests homilies, and attending Mass because of a special prayer or need the person has during these challenging times. The reasons are as varied as the people going to Please see MASS, page 6 Mass. I love the fact you see

Would Hearing Aids Work for You?

Historic year highlights importance of local disaster volunteers

R utland , V eRmont The Red Cross has announced an upcoming training session aimed at providing an introduction on how a person can volunteer with the American Red Cross to help area communities prevent, prepare for and respond to disaster. From 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 29th, the Red Cross will present Disaster Services: An Overview at the Red Cross offices at 117 Strongs Avenue, Rutland, VT. The devastation of Tropical Storm Irene, record spring flooding and a busy winter fire season have all been vivid reminders that disaster can strike close to home. As we all saw, responding to such events requires the combined efforts of local and state resources, including private and governmental organizations. Among those community partners is the American Red Cross, a nongovernmental non-profit. American Red Cross disaster responses are carried out on a local level by volunteer Disaster Action Teams. These teams assist those affected by disasters such as fire, flood, winter storms, as well as other natural and man-made disasters. Disaster Services: An Overview is an instructor-led, basic level course and serves as an introduction to Red Cross disaster services. Included in the overview will be information on the role of Disaster Action Teams in helping their community prevent,

prepare for and respond to emergencies and disasters. Participants will also learn more about the scope of Disaster Services at their local Red Cross. While the presentation is an introduction to becoming a volunteer American Red Cross Disaster Action Team member, and serves as a prerequisite for all Red Cross disaster training, anyone in the community who is interested in hearing the materials presented in this class is welcome.

the dangers of texting while driving. The SADD Chapter developed a slogan for the contest, Decide Your F8, Texting Can W8, and then opened the t-shirt design portion of the contest to anyone in the school. Sierra Quenneville, a student in the Hospitality and Entrepreneurship Program from Otter Valley Union High School, won. Phase 2 was a poster or billboard which promotes teen driving restrictions, which are known in Vermont as the Graduated Drivers License. New drivers in Vermont who are less than 18 years old are restricted as to who they may have in the vehicle with them for the first six months of operation. This is designed to cut down on the number of passengers killed and injured by inexperienced drivers; the GDL has been very successful in achieving this goal. The SADD Chapter designed a new slogan, When Youre Alone, Youre in the Zone, and developed two possible entries. The first entry was designed by Brian Ward, a student in the Public Safety Services Program from Fair Haven, and it was a painting of a single set of tire tracks on a white background, and bore the slogan. It was painted by SADD members Stephen Marcoux of Castleton, and Logan Clark of Rutland. This was designed as a fallback entry should the much more technically complicated entry not come to fruition. Plan A, the eventual entry, was to take the Stafford Technical Center Tractor Trailer Schools vehicle and revise one side of the trailer to make a moving billboard. Due to time and monetary concerns, a complete revision of the trailer was out of the question. The design, which incorporated the slogan, and exactly covered the existing writing, and a drawing of a car with one occupant, was done by team member Rachel Ray, a talented graphic artist in Staffords Digital Arts Program from Rutland. The artwork was done into banners by Awesome Graphics. A number of Stafford students, some wearing uniforms representing their program, were photographed around the truck, and the photo was entered into the contest. A group of judges will determine the top 25 entries, which will compete on Facebook for the most number of likes.

I love the fact you see persons of all backgrounds, ages, and situations coming together in one place to pray and to get help to cope with whatever problems or issues they might be dealing with at the time. And its free! Holy card-sized invitations are at the church entrances to all the participating parishes, for persons to pick up and give to whomever they wish to invite. Anyone who would like to attend a Welcome Home Mass at any of the participating parishes, whether they receive an invitation from a parishioner or not, is welcome to attend.

compete against other state and international teams at Iowa State University May 23 27, 2012. Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem-solving competition started by Dr. Sam Micklus thirty-three years ago to encourage creative thinking in his college-level design class. It has since evolved into a national and international competition for students from kindergarten through college aged. Five different types of problems are written every year to engage many different types of learning styles and interests. Teams of up to seven students may select to build a vehicle, solve a technical problem, engage in a study of classical literature, art, or music, build a balsa structure, or present a theatrical performance. This years team members, Skylar Ambrose, Carter Steever, Mike Stratton, Rachael

Patch, Gabby Lazzarro, and Jake Bloomer were coached by George Ambrose. They will be hosting bake sales, student activity events, a tag sale and many other fundraising events to help with expenses of the trip. For further information about Odyssey of the Mind, to rent a table for their tag sale April 28, or to contribute to the team, contact Kathy Jacob at kjacob@rssu.org or call 775-6590.

Vermont Maple Syrup Producers hold annual Maple Open House Weekend
Ve r m o n t m a p l e sugarmakers all across the state invite you to visit and celebrate Vermont maple on March 24th and 25th. The Annual Vermont Maple Open House Weekend will be held at sugarhouses throughout Vermont, March 24 25, 2012. Maple Open House Weekend is a celebration of the maple syrup season in Vermont and an opportunity for you and your family to visit one or more sugarhouses throughout the state to learn about maple sugarin in Vermont. We expect to have another good year of maple syrup production, said Bill Clark, a sugarmaker i n R u t l a n d C o u n t y. The weather this year is reminiscent of the 1949 season when trees were tapped as early as Valentines Day. Maple sugaring is a rich part of Vermonts identity and heritage, said Betty Ann Lockhart, author of the book Maple Sugarin in Vermont and member of the Vermont Sugarmakers Association. The Maple Open House Weekend is a quintessential Vermont event that celebrates this timeless tradition. Some sugarhouses offer tours of their sugarbushes and many have special activities for families. No

more than a century. MSJ's tradition of academic excellence in the Rutland region dates back to its founding by the Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1882. For more information, visit www.msjvermont. org or call (802) 7750151.

two sugarhouses are the same so you are encouraged to visit more than one. There is nothing sweeter than visiting a local sugarhouse. From the tree to the table, youll see firsthand why Vermonters make the finest maple syrup in the world. Vermont is the largest U.S. producer of maple syrup and produced over a million gallons of syrup in 2011. There are approximately 2000 maple producers in Vermont. Information about all of the participating maple syrup producers including which of the two days they will be open and directions to their sugarhouses can be found on www. vermontmaple.org

You know, there are few things that are really predictable in this world today, but one of them is the return of the Steelhead Trout every spring to the tributaries that feed Lake Ontario, on their annual migratory spawning run. This year was bound to be different somehow, not that they would not return to spawn, but when that would occur. With little to no snowfall on the Tug Hill Plateau this just let loose all at one time. All the streams, creeks, and rivers were swollen with the spring rush of water and, much to the wonder of all us anglers, were also swollen with a tremendous spring run of Steelhead. For any of you that might be interested in some great fishing and have a NY license, I would be heading west either this week or next week as the fish are definitely there---and in great numbers. With this any offering that they would normally see in the water will be fair game for them. For the angler, that simply means that you can fish them just about any way you want. Be a kid sitting on a bank with a pole dangling a night crawler---or be the consummate angler with your hundreds of dollars (dare I say thousands) of gear and some pretty fancy flies. Your choice, but the fun is just the same, and I can tell you from years of experience that it NEVER gets tiring, or boring, or mundane, or even nasty. Pick any superlative word that you can imagine--then double it----and then you have the true glory of Spring Steelhead fishing. For those of you that have experienced the agony of defeat, I am sure that you know that it seldom helps to turn your head to the ground for more than just a fleeting moment. I had that moment, and then on some sober reflection, turned that head towards clearer waters---full of fish----and used some skill I had developed over many years to produce not one but about 40 victories against some wily and cagy creatures. And on one day in particular, I chose to make a contest of my own choice against these fish. I fished all day, about 7 hours in all, on about five different streams, and fought a lot of fish. The challenge I made to myself on this day was to fish until I had battled a certain number of fish to submission and released them---and then, and only then, would I stop fishing for the day. And I did it. At 5:30 on that day, pretty much exhausted but content with my success, I stopped fishing after landing my 17th fish. I hope you enjoy the shots of yet another spring in the life of a contented angler, and until next week, good sports.

The author, a happy Steelheader, with one of the many beauties captured and released recently on NY streams. This one, a male, went about 29 inches and about 9 pounds. warmer weather, the stonefly hatches have been prolific and we have been catching on black stonies, both gold beaded and non-beaded, on glass beads, and on the regular offerings of fresh eggsacs in pink and chartreuse. Locals often catch as we used to in our youth---with the old favorite garden hackle, or as the southerners call them---night walkers. In the east, these earthy critters are much slower, so we call them night crawlers----but the Steelhead love them too. Some forget that we are talking about just a plain old Rainbow Trout, only in the 7,9, or 11 pound class, and they return back to the lake after spawning. For sure, a fish that big need to eat----and eat a lot---so

Don holds another male, all brighted up for the spawning run. This one will feed some friends. year the snowmobile industry struggled mightily just to survive. Indeed many dealers did not, and the local economy suffered greatly from the thousands of downcountry riders that just did not show up. With little to no snow to melt for the usual spring heavy flows in these tributaries, we all were wondering just how the fish would react. Mother nature answered us with a great week of unusually warm days and what snow was in the hills

Congratulations to the Proctor Phantoms girls basketball team who won the Division 4 state championship. The first D 4 state title for Proctor and the 2nd in school history. The Phantoms won the D3 state championship in 1984 under Wade Mitchell. Proctor coach Chris Hughes has pulled off the rare double. Chris won the state title as the girls coach this year after winning the state title as the boys coach in 2000. I believe thats only been done once before as John Barth of Windsor won state championships with both the Yellow Jackets boys and girls basketball teams. If you can think of any others, let me know. Mikayala McCormack scored 15 points for the Phantoms in the victory. Mikaylas cousin Pat McCormack played on two MSJ state championship football teams, an MSJ state championship basketball team and also played on the last winning Vermont Shrine football team in 2000. Megan Carters cousin Ryan Carter played on Proctors last state championship boys basketball team in 2009. Megan scored 10 points in Proctors win over Twinfield last Saturday. Erin Keefe is another member of the Proctor 2012 state championship girls basketball team. Her dad Chris played for Rutland in that famous game against Rice in 1981 that I wrote about in this column last week. The Keefe Gym at Rutland High is named after Erins great grandfather Bundsie Keefe, Sr. Other winners crowned in basketball were Rice in D1, Hartford in D2, and Oxbow in D3. The winners in girls hockey were Essex in D1 and Burr and Burton in D2 and in boys hockey BFA in D1 and U32 in D2. All the semis and finals in boys and girls basketball and the finals in boys and girls hockey were video cast live on the Northeast Sports Network, Vermonts Sports Leader. All the games will be available soo on the archives on nsnsports.net if they arent already. On the Saturday of the boys basketball state championship games which did include Norwich mens and womens hockey there were 30,000 views to the nsnsports.net. website. An unbelievable amount of viewers. It can be said that NSN absolutely smoked all the radio outlets in the state by an incredibly

wide margin. I feel sorry for those who advertised on radio and not on NSN. There will be college softball video cast on nsnsports. net this Saturday March 24th as Castleton will be hosting Skidmore in a doubleheader. starting at 1PM The Vermont-New Hampshire Shrine football teams got together for the first time this last Sunday at the Lebanon Elks Club. The game is coming up on Saturday August 4th at Dartmouths Memorial Field. A few changes this year: 1. The game will go back to 15 minute quarters from the 12 minute quarters used last year. 2. Overtime will be used for the first time.There have been two ties in Shrine game history. 3. In the 2nd half, if one team is leading by 35 or more points running time will be used. Last Monday I wrote a blog on nsnsports. net on MSJs Division 2 state championship in boys basketball. Here is what I wrote: Of all the state champions crowned on Saturday in boys basketball, the one that has the most people griping was MSJs title in Division 2. I thought people were past that and whining now is just being a poor loser and chewing sour grapes. This was a very good MSJ team and it won the state championship because it played the best when it counted the most. They were not unbeatable, they lost twice during the regular season. They couldve been beaten by Vergennes in the state title game, but they made the plays that gave them the victory. Thats what a championship team does. They didnt win by 24 points like Williamstown did in the Division 3 championship game. MSJ won by 8 points. MSJ was vulnerable. They were not a very good shooting team and were not very good from the free throw line either. MSJ couldve been beaten, but they werent because they found a way to win.! They never stopped hustling! Yes they couldve been beaten, but Vermont was too busy complaining to notice! Virtually the same team lost in the semi last year, but nobody was complaining then. Stop whining Vermont and tip your cap to a deserving state champion! Catch you next week!
