Vermont Golf 2008-012008-01-09 Berkshire Eagle Online - Keep inspiration alive at WaubeekaIn roughly 1963, my dad, Rowland Armacost, first walked the property on which Waubeeka now stands. His journey started up the present 10th fairway and upon reaching the site of the 10th green, he took in the views of Mount Greylock to the east, Hancock and New York state to the south and west and the Green Mountains of Vermont to the north. Dad was inspired by the splendor of the panoramic view, the balance of rolling terrain along with level, fertile farm land, complete with a natural water hazard, the meandering Green River. All of these elements were suitably fit for a golf course. Soon thereafter, the knob of terrain upon which the 10th hole sits was dubbed "Inspiration Hill. "
2008-01-22 Real Estate in Quechee Lakes, Vermont, Continues To Appreciate Despite Deflated U. S. Housing MarketBob Hill, Executive Vice President of the Vermont Association of Realtors says that there is a combination of market forces that have contributed to the stability of the real estate market in Vermont. For one, "A shortage of housing inventory for the past few years has kept the demand high," and the process to build new homes in Vermont is more controlled. According to Mr. Hill, "The market in Vermont didnt see the rampant speculation that causes over-building, and this has led to Vermonts ability to stay closer to supply and demand than other areas that have suffered. " PR: While real estate markets around the country continue to decline and stagnate, Vermont remains a desired second home destination with property appreciation and steady sales.

2008-01-19 University Communications : University of VermontUVM Class of 1949, left the university with a degree in chemistry and mathematics and a love for Vermont (and a Vermonter) that would keep her tethered to the state for life. Following graduate work at Cornell, she and the Vermonter, Malcolm Severance, married and eventually returned, spending their first six years in Converse Hall dormitory, where Gladys was head resident and their three children had adoring babysitters. Later, Gladys became Colchesters delinquent tax collector, a role she approached as a counselor rather than enforcer.

2008-01-17 FlaglerU John Sbordone didnt break par while playing The Pine Course this past week but he sure had himself one heckuva day. Sbordone, a longtime student of stage plays and a brilliant director in Flagler County today, eagled the par-5 15th while playing the Mens Day with Don Hunt, Shelby Lee and Paul Libutaque. That hole is at least 444 yards away from the white tees and 515 yards from the blues so it takes two pretty good whacks to get close enough for one putt and an eagle. Unless, of course, he chipped in with a third shot. Sbordone also beat some admired golfers, like Lee, Al Parker, Stan Walker, Larry Guidi, Mike Carter and John West, in the regular 18-hole competition. Hunt and Libutaque themselves, along with Tom Barrett and George Pollio, are not exactly scared rabbits in this wonderful game we call golf.

2008-01-21 Flashback to fast forward: Times Argus OnlineOn tourism: "The narrow and petty rivalries between neighbors, between communities and between groups ought to be discouraged and condemned, as this attitude works injury to the welfare of the state at large. In considering the attitude of Vermonters toward summer visitors, two extremes should be avoided. There should be no fawning or servility in their relations toward their guests. On the other hand, a narrow, intolerant, suspicious attitude should be avoided. The traditional dignity and independence of Vermonters should be maintained in a friendly way.

2008-02-02 MAINTAINING YOUR PONDPonds can also suffer from an inflow of too much water. A good example is the story of Runaway Pond in Glover, Vermont. In 1810, the operator of a grist mill in Glover decided that he needed a more reliable source of power for his water wheel, so he had a ditch dug from his existing pond up to another reservoir at a higher elevation. The idea was to channel the new pond into the original, but when the channel was complete and the water rushed down, the stream inundated the mill pond. The pond overtopped, the embankment blew, the mill was destroyed, and so was half the town. Moral: Dont add more water than your pond can handle. The millers mistake was in not building a control gate on the higher pond so that he could regulate the inflow. Ponds need no such labor and charges as other commodities do. - MAINTAINING POND Repairs Inflows Outlets Beavers
