Governors irked by deadlock over federal cutsBy STEVE PEOPLES

Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, left, leads fellow Democratic governors along the driveway of the West Wing of the White House after meeting Friday with President Barack Obama. Saturday, governors of both parties expressed frustration over the pending federal cuts.WASHINGTON Washingtons protracted budget stalemate could seriously undermine the economy and stall gains made since the recession, exasperated governors said Saturday as they tried to gauge the fallout from impending federal spending cuts.
At the annual National Governors Association meeting, both Democrat and Republican chief executives expressed pessimism that both sides could find a way to avoid the massive, automatic spending cuts set to begin March 1.
They pointed to the impasse as another crisis between the White House and Congress that hampers their ability to construct state spending plans and spooks local businesses from hiring.
Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie, a former congressman, noted that the cuts known in Washington-speak as the sequester could lead to 19,000 workers being laid off at Pearl Harbor, site of the surprise attack in 1941 that launched the United States into World War II. Today, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam supports Air Force and Navy missions.
That will undermine our capacity for readiness at Pearl Harbor, Abercrombie said. If that doesnt symbolize for the nation ... what happens when we fail to meet our responsibilities congressionally, I dont know what does.
The day before, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin and other Democratic governors met with President Barack Obama.
Shumlin, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, said after the meeting that state economies would be hurt by the massive federal cuts.
The one thing that stands in our way of prosperity, of job creation, right now, is this Congress, which refuses to work with the president, he said. We have a Congress that is holding American prosperity hostage right now; we have Republican governors who are passing the tax policies they cant get past a Democratic (Senate) and a Democratic president.
The budget fight comes as many states say they are on the cusp of an economic comeback from the financial upheaval in 2008 and 2009. States expect their general fund revenues this year to surpass the amounts collected before the Great Recession kicked in. An estimated $693 billion in revenues is expected for the 2013 budget year, nearly a 4 percent increase over the previous year.
Its a damn shame, said Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley, a Democrat. Weve actually had the fastest rate of jobs recovery of any state in our region. And this really threatens to hurt a lot of families in our state and kind of flat line our job growth for the next several months.
At their weekend meetings, governors were focusing on ways to boost job development and grow their state economies, measures to restrict gun violence and implement the new health care law approved during Obamas first term.
Some Republican governors have blocked the use of Medicaid to expand health insurance coverage for millions of uninsured while others have joined Democrats in a wholesale expansion as the law allows. The Medicaid expansion aims to cover about half of the 30 million uninsured people expected to eventually gain coverage under the health care overhaul.
Yet for many governors, the budget-cut fight remains front-and-center and fuels a pervasive sense of frustration with Washington.
My feeling is I cant help whats going on in Washington, Gov. Terry Branstad, R-Iowa, said in an interview Saturday. I cant help the fact that theres no leadership here, and its all politics as usual and gridlock. But I can do something about the way we do things in the state of Iowa.
Indeed, right now no issue carries the same level of urgency as the budget impasse.
Congressional leaders have indicated a willingness to let the cuts take effect and stay in place for weeks, if not much longer.
The cuts would trim $85 billion in domestic and defense spending, leading to furloughs for hundreds of thousands of workers at the Transportation Department, Defense Department and elsewhere.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said the cuts would harm the readiness of U.S. fighting forces.
The looming cuts were never supposed to happen. They were intended to be a draconian fallback intended to ensure a special deficit reduction committee would come up with $1 trillion or more in savings from benefit programs. It didnt.
We should go back and remember that sequestration was originally designed by both the administration and Congress as something so odious, so repellent, that it would force both sides to a compromise. There cant be any question, this is something that nobody wants, said Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat.
Obama has stepped up efforts to tell the public about the cuts negative impact and pressure Republicans who oppose his approach of reducing deficits through a combination of targeted savings and tax increases. House Republicans have said reduced spending needs to be the focus and have rejected the presidents fresh demand to include higher taxes as part of a compromise.
Governors said they are asking the Obama administration for more flexibility to deal with some of the potential cuts.
Were just saying that as you identify federal cuts and savings, allow the states to be able to realize those savings, too, said Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, a Republican and the associations vice chairwoman.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Off the Wall's 'Gigi' retains its charm
Opening in 1958, "Gigi" won nine Oscars, including best picture. Opening in 1973, a stage adaptation - using the same enchanting songs (and four new ones) by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe - closed after 103 performances.
I didn't see the Broadway production, so I can't tell you what went wrong. But since I have seen the current production of "Gigi" being directed by Dale Gutzman at Off the Wall Theatre, I can state with certainty that Broadway ought to give this chestnut another look. »Read Full Article(2)

Larry Shue's "The Foreigner" ostensibly involves a culture clash between a quirky Brit and southern bigots in a Georgian fishing lodge, where Charlie morphs from pathologically shy English nebbish into improbable hero.
But while watching the enjoyable "Foreigner," being staged by Theatre Unchained under John Baiocchi's direction, I realized as never before that Shue's play is also about the clash between literal-minded killjoys and the transforming world of theater, which regularly takes actor and audience into undiscovered countries they'd never otherwise visit. »Read Full Article

Advocates for ill and disabled in Vt fear being cut outBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | January 16,2013MONTPELIER Advocates for mentally ill and disabled Vermonters are cheering the Shumlin administration for seeking a $3 million budget supplement to cover unanticipated demand for government services.
But proposed revisions to the process by which the executive branch adjusts to mid-year budget pressures has drawn fire from advocates, some of whom think it could result in undue cuts to services.
At a public hearing Tuesday hosted by the House Appropriations Committee, advocates offered both praise and criticism for an adjustment to the current fiscal year budget that aims to address unforeseen financial pressure at the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living.
Of particular concern, advocates said, is proposed language that would change how the department can amend the system of care in response to financial pressure.
The departments commissioner, Susan Wehry, said that in a state with a very rich advocacy community, the external response to mid-year budget shortfalls is often well, just go ask for more money.
But there also is an expectation from the Legislature that we live within our budget, and there is often pushback and tension about whether thats what the Legislature really intends, she said.
Wehry said the proposed changes seek to clarify legislative intent and to affirm in statute that the intent of the Legislature really is for us to live within our budget.
To do that, she said, the administration is also seeking to alter the mechanism by which budget changes can be made. Wehry said its part of an effort to be transparent.
Its saying to the Legislature that in order to live within our budget, we may need to make modifications to our system of care plan that allow us to do that, Wehry said.
Barbara Prine, a staff attorney at Vermont Legal Aid, said the changes arent necessary. She told lawmakers that the proposed language is unclear and appears to authorize the department to bypass the small amount of public process that changes to the developmental services must go through.
Under current law, Prine said, the department must vet proposed changes to the system of care with a committee composed of advocates, providers and recipients of care.
The language in the budget adjustment act appears to circumvent this process, Prine said in written testimony. It is unwise, undemocratic and is also against the existing statutory requirements of 60-day notice and opportunity for comment by affected individuals, advocates and professionals.
Wehry said Prine and other advocates seem to be concerned that the department aims to use the language as an end-run around outside scrutiny of its decisions. She said they need not worry.
If the worry is were trying to get a new process, thats not what were trying to get, Wehry said. What we want is to be transparent about our intent to work with (advocates, providers and clients) to modify the system of care plan as needed to stay within our budget target.

Why are we losing congregations? There are many factors. If
I'm painting with a broad brush, I'd say that it is because we are largely rural, white and older. What can we do to ensure a vital future? Focus on urban
church planting.
God is concerned with the health of women. God cares about teenagers who end up in a lifetime of poverty. Jesus healed the bleeding woman 2,000 years ago, and I think if he walked the streets today, he just might hand her a packet of pink pills.
Can we move from the encampments to the important work of speaking on behalf of the poor?
What are we doing to combat poverty
in our country and make sure that we join the voices of the prophets who speak
out against injustice? Often denominational churches work hard on these issues,
but we do it within our particular silos and we may not effectively
communicate our work.

CMA Board of Directors Meeting
11/19/14 - 11/21/14
8:30 am - 12:00 pm
The CMA Board of Directors was established in 1959, a year after CMA was founded as the first trade organization formed to promote a genre of music. Initially, the Board included nine directors and five officers. Wesley Rose, President of Acuff-Rose Music Publishing, Inc., and music executive Connie B. Gay were elected CMA Board Chairman and President, respectively. Eddy Arnold and Harold Moon were Vice Presidents, Hubert Long was named Treasurer and Mac Wiseman was chosen to be Secretary. Early years of the Board featured the Chairman and President serving two-year terms in their roles. An organized succession in CMA's volunteer leadership was established in 2003; four Directors also serve as Officers of the Board, those being Chairman, President, President-Elect and Secretary/Treasurer. This move established a line of succession with the President-Elect moving to President and the President becoming Chairman

William E. KenersonNovember 22,2012
William E. KenersonWilliam E. Kenerson
MIDDLEBURY Bill Kenerson, longtime Middlebury resident and acknowledged bow-tie aficionado, died peacefully at his home on November 16th, 2012, with his wife by his side. He was born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1931, the younger son of Bernard and Dorothy (Sisson) Kenerson. He attended Hopkins Grammar School, graduated from Yale University and served proudly in the United States Marine Corps.
Bill started his productive business career with General Electric and was eventually appointed human relations manager at their plant in Brockport, N.Y. He also held positions with the General Railway Signal Co. in Rochester, N.Y., and with Bausch & Lomb as VP of industrial relations.
In 1978, Bill moved to Vermont to pursue a more entrepreneurial effort, purchasing the Killington Country Resort. In later years, he was fond of saying, I thought I understood cash flow until I owned KCR; then I really understood cash flow! He was appointed director of human resources for Simmonds Precision in Vergennes in 1979, a position he held until the company was purchased by BF Goodrich in 1990.
Bill served his community in myriad ways. He was a member of the board of the United Way of Addison County, active with the Addison County Chamber of Commerce, served on the board of the Addison County Economic Development Corporation and as a member of Middleburys Planning Commission.
In 1991, Governor Richard Snelling tapped Kenerson to serve as Vermonts Commissioner of Economic Development. Returning to Addison County in 1992 to serve as the Addison County Director of Economic Development Corporation, Bill soon began to lay the groundwork for an undertaking that would become a passion that would last the rest of his life.
Discouraged with the availability of a good selection of bow ties in mens stores, Bill and Deb Venman launched Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont, a mail-order purveyor of handmade bow ties and other mens fashion accessories in the spring of 1993. A classic start-up, Beau Ties began as a nights-and-weekends home-based business located in a room off their bedroom. While Bill and Deb kept their day jobs, they plotted the future growth of the company. In true success-story fashion, it soon grew into a full-time effort, utilizing the skills of many local seamstresses and a small support staff.
It was not long before Beau Ties had a loyal and rapidly growing cadre of customers. In 1999, having outgrown all available space in the family home, Beau Ties moved into a new facility on Industrial Avenue in Middlebury that allowed all aspects of the business manufacturing, marketing, customer service and shipping to be housed at a single location. The business continued to grow, eventually employing 25 people, mailing nearly half a million catalogues each year, creating a vital presence on the web and taking a lead in the niche bow tie market. Bill and Deb sold the company in 2012, just months before his death.
Well-known for his signature Beau tie and sometimes irascible nature, Bill was also an avid golfer, a great fan of baseball particularly the Red Sox and had a great love for dogs. (The same cannot be said of cats.) An enthusiastic gardener, Bill was known for his dahlias, which he shared with all his Beau Ties cohorts. At Beau Ties, where a corporate love of celebratory group lunches became the norm (any occasion is worthy of a good lunch), Bill was never known to pass up pepperoni, deviled eggs or Swedish meatballs particularly when someone else was doing the cooking. For reasons unknown to others, he also loved lunches at McDonalds, but only on Thursdays.
Bill is survived by his wife, Deborah Venman; and five children from a previous marriage, Laurie White and her husband Jim Herley, Amy and Joe Ahearn, Will and Shari, Liz, and Joe and his wife Lynette. His three stepchildren, David Venman, Betsy Thompson and Amy Venman, also survive him; as do 17 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He also leaves his brother Ken and wife Ruth, and their sons, Bernard and Bush.
The family would like to thank Addison County Home Health & Hospice for their invaluable assistance that allowed Deb to keep Bill at home, and in particular, the services of Jane Kearns, RN and aide Joanne Paige.
There will be no calling hours. The funeral service will be held at the Middlebury Congregational Church at 11 a.m. on Saturday, November 24, 2012. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis, Suite F, #227, 1569 Branham Lane, San Jose, CA 95118-5226 (www.coalitionforpf.org); or Addison County Home Health & Hospice Inc., PO Box 754, Middlebury, VT 05753. Stephen Gregory Cremation Services will be in charge of arrangements.MORE IN ObituariesCharles T. Baker

There's no question time is running out for Steve Carell and Keira Knightley in the new dark comedy "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World." But for writer-director Lorene Scafaria, the film isn't so much about the time her characters have left but the realization of what they're going to do with it.
"I felt like time was the most important theme running through it," Scafaria told me in a recent interview. "It's so strange sometimes for it to take some cataclysmic, tragic event to have people open their eyes up to different things and finally experience life."
Opening in theaters Friday, "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" is about just that: the world coming to an end in three weeks, and hopefully for two people -- Dodge (Steve Carell) and Penny (Keira Knightley) -- they can find the meaning in their lives before it all -- specifically, a 70-mile-wide meteor -- comes crashing down.
In Dodge's case, the bad news has left the guarded, introverted insurance salesman without his wife (Nancy Carell) after she bolts when they learn there is no hope of averting the disaster. For their neighbor of three years who Dodge never knew -- the free-spirited, music-loving Penny (Keira Knightley) -- her last wish is to get home to her native England to be with her parents.
Despite the impending doom, Dodge still finds a beacon of hope: Not only does he discover his first, true love wants to reunite with him; his new, unlikely friend, Penny, inspires him to take a road trip with her to find the woman before the world ends.
Time, for the duration of the project, has meant everything to Scafaria. After selling her "End of the World" idea to Mandate Pictures as a pitch in 2008, the filmmaker completed a couple of drafts of the script before her father became sick with prostate cancer. She took six months off to spend time with him before he died, and she came back to the project with a new perspective.
"It made me realize how important even 15 minutes is. Time is really the only commodity that we have, and it's all I have to give to anybody," Scafaria said. "The only time I get upset is when someone is wasting is my time."
Going back even further, Scafaria, a New Jersey native, said the story was also somewhat shaped by the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. The filmmaker, who lived in New York City for two years before moving to Los Angeles a week before 9/11, said she felt lost not having friends nearby.
"I found myself in LA, where I knew absolutely nobody and wished so desperately for human contact," Scafaria recalled. "I began calling old friends that I hadn't talked to in a while and really began reaching out to people."
When she made it back to New York, she found that "the city had changed, obviously, in tragic ways, but also, it felt like a community again."
"People were looking each other in the eyes on the subway again, but it didn't last, unfortunately," Scafaria lamented. "But for a little while, anyway, it felt like people were focusing on what was important and how and who they were spending their time with."
Rhythm Of Life
Scafaria is a member of the alternative rock band The Shortcoats, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that music greatly influences her work as a filmmaker (she also wrote "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist"). Songs like The Walker Brothers' haunting hit "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" are in "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" not only because it's a great song, Scafaria says, but because it has touched people's souls in real life -- and Penny's and Dodge's lives in the film.
"I thought, 'If it's the end of the world, what would people want to be consuming at the end of the world and the end of their lives?' It doesn't seem like it would be movies and TV shows as much as music," Scafaria observed. "Songs have always felt like such a collection of memories to me, so in that way, I felt like Penny is holding onto memories of with her albums, and while these songs are more indicative of her taste, they're more reflective of Dodge's life."
You don't have to spend no more than 10 seconds talking with Scafaria to realize she's not a Debbie Downer. Still, in a town that prides itself on happy Hollywood endings, the storyteller wasn't about to take a hard left turn away from the ending of the film that she intended.
"I can't say the film was an easy sell, yet, I was always trying to explain that the idea behind it was to leave people with an uplifted feeling," Scafaria explained. "Even if the ending was inevitable, what could we want more than to be looking into the eyes of someone that we love at the end?"
"The ending was something that I was never going to bend on for people. I was very adamant about that, even when I sold it as an idea," Scafaria added. "I was just happy as we were moving along and along that nobody was forcing my hand in any direction."
Fortunately, Scafaria was able to align with Focus Features for the distribution, because, she said, the studio clearly understood what her intentions were.
"They're such an incredible company for the kinds of movies that they make," Scafaria said. "They've made some of my favorite movies that have a darker undertones, like 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' and 'Lost in Translation' -- movies that have unlikely couples and sort of heady subject matter. I think they were excited about the fact that 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' is a comedy, and more than anything, the subject matter seemed like something they wanted to tackle."
Better yet, Carell and Knightley wanted to tackle it, too. Their participation reaffirmed Scafaria's sense to live -- and passionately tell -- a story that, while darkly comic, was ultimately about enlightenment.
"It felt like we all were making the same film and wanted to say the same things. Even if some people perceive it as dark or depressing, we knew that other people would see it as we intended, which is life-affirming and uplifting," Scafaria said. "In reality, death is there to remind us what's important in life. Without that, it would have taken away what I wanted to say."

Former SHS misfit: Threat' spun out of controlProvided Photo
Gina Conn, a Barre native, recently posted an article about her experience as a harassed student who became feared by her classmates and teachers.
BARRE She was told there would be parents with shotguns waiting for her in the parking lot if she showed up at her junior prom.
Barre native Gina Conn has received national and international attention for her first-hand account of a 1999 incident at Spaulding High School where she was considered a possible school shooter.
The article was posted on Jan. 8 on the online magazine www.Vice.com and was quickly picked up by news outlets such as the Huffington Post and the Daily Mail in the United Kingdom in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shooting where 26 people were killed, including 20 children. The article was written under Conns pen name of Gina Tron.
In the article, Conn gives vivid detail about the kind of kid she was, eccentric and outlandish, the environment she grew up in, the small-town mentality of Barre, and how the combination of the two made for a hazardous high school experience in which her friends were only friends by mutual isolation and most of the students bullied her mercilessly.
Conn said she wrote the piece as a response to the Connecticut shooting because she wanted to give a voice to those like her who may get labeled as possible school shooters when they are simply different.
... Troubled teens, or children that are thought of as troubled, are not able to articulate themselves, she said in a telephone interview Thursday. Teens that go through these situations have no one to identify with.
Conns high school troubles took a drastic turn 11 days after the Columbine school shooting in 1999, when 13 people were killed in Colorado. She said she and a friend were waiting for a ride home from school. The friend decided to leave a note on the car windshield of a girl Conn said was her chief tormentor the note called the girl derogatory names.
The friend signed the note the Trenchcoat Mafia, a group the Colorado shooters were thought to have belonged to.
Conn thought nothing of it at the time she was just happy the note could not be traced back to her. But as she was being driven home, Conn heard about a wave of threats from Columbine copycats and she started to worry as she said at least 10 students saw the friend place the note.
Next thing Conn knew, she was pulled in front of school officials. But the officials did not want to talk about the note. They wanted to talk about Conns death plan.
Conn, who admittedly has a dark sense of humor, is a natural writer. One of the ways she expressed herself was to write a book of charts, short stories and rhymes. In the book, Conn had written a story about killing some students by cutting the rope of a disco ball during an event at the Elks Club in Barre. She shared the book with her friends and she said it became a source of inside jokes.
After the windshield note, Conn said one of her former friends must have told school officials about the book and they wanted to see the prom murder spree manual.
Conn wrote in the article that after that, rumors of her wanting to go berserk spread around town and it was even covered in The Times Argus and by WCAX-TV. The situation only got worse as time went on.
No one tried to hide their fear and hatred of me, either, she wrote. When I walked down the halls of school it was like the parting of the Red Sea. Crowded restaurants fell quiet when I entered. Students who feared they were on my non-existent hit list dropped out of the classes they shared with me.
Conn wrote that her house was egged and people would throw food at her when she entered the school cafeteria and shout things like psycho at her when she walked around school.
The schools response was not much different, she said. The school demanded to see the book and, after she handed it over, school officials found it so unthreatening they demanded to see the real book, she said.
When she talked about the harassment she was receiving, she said, the schools therapist told her that kids were just blowing off steam. Conn wrote that she was blacklisted from classes with her intended victims in them and from classes where the teachers expressed their fear of her which she said was most classes.
One teacher who had called Conn gifted in middle school now was telling people there was nowhere in the community that Conn could be placed and that she would probably be dead before college, Conn wrote.
Conn was banned from going to her junior prom because school officials told her parents of students had contacted administrators saying they would be waiting with guns in the parking lot at the location of the prom coincidentally, the Elks Club.
In response to all the negative attention and harassment, Conn wrote that she decided to dress and act more outlandishly than before.
I wanted to create a persona that would help to minimize my harassment, which I figured would be a hyper-real, meaner version of myself, she wrote. I grew tired of trying to do damage control so I figured I may as well give them what they wanted.
Then, at the height of her isolation, something happened that was exactly what school officials were trying to prevent. Conn found herself identifying more and more with the Columbine shooters. She wrote about having dreams in which one of the shooters, Dylan Klebold, would call her about killing people in her gymnasium.
I could no longer relate to any character in television or films because I assumed that all of them would detest me on sight if they met me, Conn wrote. I began to identify with other school shooters, not because I wanted to kill people, but because their lives were the only ones that I figured were comparable to mine.
Conn stressed that she never had any intention of harming anyone, and she did not write the piece to bash Barre. She still has a soft spot for where she grew up.
This did have a negative impact on me and if I wasnt as strong of a person, it could have destroyed me, Conn said. But Im not angry or vengeful. I dont hate Barre. I hope that Spaulding and every school can learn a lesson from this and minimize the bad experiences for students now.
Conns advice for high school students who find themselves in similar situations of harassment and being ostracized: Try to take their frustration and anger and turn it into something positive, like her article, because in the end you will be the better person.
Life will get better. Nothing is permanent, she said.
While it may be hard to do in the moment, Conn said, students should try not to hate those harassing them, because the tormentors have their own problems as well such as problems at home, being a past victim of sexual assault, or having self-esteem issues.
Those people may end up being your friend some day, she said.
Conn said the response to her article has been very positive. She has received apologies from many of her former classmates who treated her badly, even though she had already forgiven them, and some of those classmates are now her friends.
Conn has also been contacted by principals and teachers from around the country who have told her that her article has helped them in trying to understand troubled or bullied students in their own schools. They have used the article as a way to get inside the minds of students they would not be able to understand otherwise.
Conn now lives in New York City. She works as a technical director for a Catholic television news station, writes for magazines like Ladygunn and prom and wedding magazines, and is the creative director for Williamsburg Fashion Weekend and the editor-in-chief for the events magazine.

Even savvy investors can fall for scamsBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | August 25,2013The profile for investors who get swindled by fraudulent enterprises like the film Birth of Innocence arent gullible or new to investing, and they certainly arent dumb, according to the head of a college program devoted to financial literacy.
The average demographic trend that Ive seen is males age 55 to 65 who are financially literate and college educated, who have had a recent change in their financial or physical situation, said John Pelletier, director of the Center for Financial Literacy at Champlain College in Burlington.
Theyre not unintelligent or unfamiliar with the financial world, he said. Usually, theyve suffered some sort of financial setback and theyre willing to double down to try to make up the loss.
Not all of the nearly 700 investors who gave money to Malcolm Mac Parker for the Innocence film venture match that description, but Robert Melik Finkle certainly does.
The retired Rochester architect told a federal judge last week at Parkers criminal sentencing that he wasnt earning enough on his bank certificates of deposit in 2002 when he was approached by the well-known Addison County storyteller and performer.
In exchange for a promised 15 percent rate of return, Finkle invested everything his $345,000 life savings.
Now, at 77 Im barely subsisting on Social Security and welfare, he said before Parker was sentenced to 4½ years in jail on convictions of conspiracy to defraud and filing fraudulent tax returns. I trusted Mac Parker, and Parker in his greed took advantage of that trust.
Finkle was far from the only intelligent person to speak at the hearing last week.
A physical therapist, an 80-year-old dairy farmer and a motel owner who gave Parker the proceeds of the sale of his rubbish-removal company were among those who addressed the court.
They each told a story of trust in Parker, whose honest reputation was proof enough for many and an opportunity as the filmmaker promised rates of return that would eventually exceed 30 percent.
The scam perpetuated by Parker and his silent partner, Louis Soteriou, may be unique in its purported interest to deliver to the world a film of such spiritual purity that all who saw it would be touched and the world changed forever by its message.
But the Ponzi-scheme mechanism used to cheat investors is an all-too-common means of deception, Pelletier said.
While sophisticated schemes like the $50 billion fraud orchestrated by former NASDAQ chairman Bernard Madoff might be difficult to detect, many dubious ventures can be exposed by a simple phone call or search of the state Department of Financial Regulation website.
Both Pelletier and Thomas Candon, deputy commissioner of the DFR securities division, agree that the first step prospective investors should take when considering a venture is to investigate the seller.
By law, broker-dealers and some investment advisors must be registered in Vermont to do business here. Prospective investors can learn whether a seller is registered or has a history of violations or complaints by visiting the DFR securities page at www.dfr.vermont.gov/securities/home or by calling the division toll free at 877-550-3907.
Candons division also encourages investors to educate themselves about a company or individual by doing independent research, including a review of the sellers prospectus or offering circular, and the companys financial statement.
But one of the primary things investors can do and sometimes the hardest is ask themselves if an investment opportunity is too good to be true.
During his career prior to coming to Champlain College, Pelletier worked as the chief operating officer of a financial management firm that oversaw $80 billion in assets.
He said he knew many highly successful brokers, but added that not one of them could deliver on the promises made by the majority of charlatans who try to bilk investors by luring them into get-rich-quick schemes like Birth of Innocence.
When someone tells you they havent had a down year in 10 years, theyre lying, Pelletier said. Whenever someone shows you an investment that cant lose money, theyre referring to something unlike any investment Ive ever seen in my life.
Along with the promise of a high return, fraudulent sellers usually demand a quick decision by investors, Pelletier and Candon said.
Whenever someone bangs on you wanting an answer now, or if theyre getting offended that youre looking into them, that should be a red flag, Pelletier said.
Candons division has been trying to help financial investors recognize red flags and make wise financial decisions in general by holding Investor Education talks statewide at functions ranging from Rotary meetings to senior citizens events.
It was at one of those educational talks that the first step in unraveling the 10-year Innocence scam took place.
At the end of one of the financial talks in 2009, Candon said a member of his office was approached about a filmmaker named Mac Parker who had been approaching a large number of investors.
The deputy commissioner said that revelation led investigators to follow up, first by learning that Parker was soliciting funds without being registered with the state. A first meeting with the filmmaker in October 2009 was followed months later by a federal investigation.
It works both ways, Candon said. We try to educate investors and sometimes we learn something very important from the people we meet who have questions about investment offers theyve seen.

Once upon a time, there was the Red Oxx Daypack Backpack. You see them once in a while on auction sites or at second hand stores. Simple, sturdy, and square. Sadly, a couple years back, it went away. New priorities on the production schedule pushed it aside.
Then, one day Lacy, our production manager, decided to upgrade the Daypack Backpack for her growing kids. Her middle school children's backpacks needed a raised front pocket, a reinforced bottom using our toughest ballistic nylon, a nice upgrade for the shoulder straps featuring a softer, yet stronger hi-tech Uni-Suede, a series of daisy chain accessory loops stitched to the straps and finally, a couple elastic mesh side pockets. Needless to say, her kids were stoked. The redesigned and renamed K-12 Kat Pack Backpack was born.
Working with the same design philosophy we incorporate on all our bags, the K-12 Kat Pack Backpack has our typical spacious rectangular bag shape, a design set in motion by our flagship soft-sided carry-on bag, the Air Boss. Expect a spacious "fatback" school backpack that will easlily haul large, heavy text books.
At nearly under a grand in cubic inch volume (917 cu. in.), the main compartment features the same 420-denier red nylon lining as our other travel bags. The bright color makes searching inside the pack easier and adds a level of toughness and weather resistance not usually found in typical school backpacks, including those pricey famous name brands sold in department stores.
Ever had a backpack start disintegrating from the inside out where the lining tape covers the seams? Our lining seam tape is woven sideways instead of lengthwise, effectively eliminating the loose weaving threads that tend to run. In fact, unless you're going to regularly fill your K-12 backpack with sharp rocks, broken glass and rusty nails, it's doubtful the interior will wear out. If it does, our ironclad "No Bull" Lifetime Warranty covers pack repairs and, if needed, bag replacements.
Have you despaired at seeing your shoulder straps ripping loose? The K-12 Kat Pack has reinforced double box stitching at major stress points: the top of the bag's shoulder contact area and the base's outer corners. Overbuilt? Hardly. Then we added a strip of two-inch poly webbing to anchor the box stitches all across the entire width of the back of the pack. At the bottom, the one inch nylon strap anchors down the corners. If there are any kids alive who can rip out these straps, team USA Olympic wrestling committee will want to talk to them.
Ever had the zipper break on a pack that otherwise still looks new? It's the number one failure zone on every backpack built-- except ours. The #10 YKK nylon self-locking zipper, a touted feature on all our bags, is about as tough and practical a zipper as money can buy. The competition can go "zip, zip" open and close with their cute little straight-line zipper puller testing machine, but when it comes to a kid using a zipper in the real world, we can guarantee it won't be "zip, zip" in a straight line.
These excellent zippers are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Instead, think-- grunt, yank, jerk, and rip in every direction imaginable. Our zipper will also work in any extreme weather conditions, right down to well below zero. We top off this prized zipper feature with our fair trade Monkey Fist Zip Knots, sized just right for anyone's grip. Every pocket and compartment on this backpack has not one, but two of these fail-safe monsters.
If you've ever watched kids roaming home from school you're aware that their "backpack" is anywhere but on their back. For some reason, kids find dragging a pack not only more fun than wearing one, but a deep-seated challenge to shred their pack to pieces. Although one can't be sure, it's probably due to some secret longing to lose their text books and school assignments along the way.
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around backpacks that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, the comparison is still valid. For a backpack, they are built tough. Starting with one of the most durable textile materials available, 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon fabric, we hold it all together with super strong UV resistant thread that's double stitched into every seam.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound --that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the backpack, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the pack. In addition, each exposed fabric edge, such as on a pocket flap, is also bound using a thicker binding material. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to wear will have a thicker nylon binding. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in the competition's backpacks that brag of "binding" their edges.
Each stress point, such as where the shoulder straps attach to the bag, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double XX" in our name, Red OXX; a stitching practice we adopted from our time as parachute riggers.
Buy the one and only backpack you or your kids will use from grade school to graduation and beyond. The K-12 Backpack probably is one of the few fatback school bags built with a "ballistic bottom." The 1050-weight ballistic nylon shields the bottom of this backpack from grit and gravel. This is the same material that's used on our roughest, toughest oil rigger and railroader bags. It's even designed in a cup-like pattern to keep the seams from scraping on the ground. Not that scraping the seams would do damage to the UV protected #92 bonded SolarMax nylon thread. The thread that's so tough it will slice your fingers clean off before you can break it.
The K-12 Kat Pack Backpack has other clever design features. The raised outer pocket was developed to carry any number of the popular modern electronic tablets and e-readers like the iPad, Kindle, and so on. The flat zippered pocket located above it will also fit these tablets. The back area in the main compartment is padded with a dense 4 lb. Volara closed cell foam padding that is not only comfortable on your back, but also protects your notepad laptop computer.
The dual elastic side pockets will securely hold a couple of water bottles, a thermos, camera, hat and gloves, a smartphone or calculator. Moreover, the mesh fabric will quickly shed moisture from a leaky water bottle or condensation.
Out of curiosity, we gathered a half dozen popular name brand school backpacks and book bags from a variety of contemporary backpack manufacturers. First we noted they were ALL manufactured offshore! Not one was made in the U.S.A. The differences went beyond our monster zippers, double box stitched seams and heavy-duty ballistic bottom. The most astonishing difference between the Montana made K-12 Kat Pack Backpack and the competition was the startling simplicity of the Kat Pack's design.
Every other schoolbag had multiple pockets, flaps, buckles and innumerable surefire fail zones built into the complexity of the packs. Said Kat Pack designer and Red Oxx President Perry Jones, "All those pockets, and hardly any of 'em ever get used." CEO Jim Markel then pitched in, "You couldn't build a school pack like these here in the States. It would cost hundreds of dollars in labor to make them."
In the hustle and bustle of our children's lives, having a simple school pack helps to make the entire existence of the convolution of one's school years oh so very ... simple.
The K-12 Kat Pack Backpack was born to be the toughest kid's school backpack on the planet. But it also loves the life of a world traveler. It easily holds a weekend's worth of clothes as your main carry-on flight bag. Since the zippers open all the way down the sides, finding deeply buried items is a no-brainer.
This "carry-on legal" backpack will fit in the overhead bins of nearly any commercial airliner, lounge under just about any kind of seat, taxi, plane or bus, and of course, pass as a "personal item" without so much as a bat of a flight attendant's eyelash. Naturally, it also works great as a day pack, an overnight bag, a flight bag or a work carry-all.
The K-12 Kat Pack Backpack is clearly built to take on the meanest, most ruthless kid on the block. Available in 12 vibrant colors, you and your kids are sure to find a favorite. Since we back all our bags and packs with our "No Bull" Lifetime Warranty, buy it once, keep it forever, and pass it on. This made in Montana backpack is destined to become the world's one and only hand-me-down school bag backpack. Rugged, reliable and tough.

Kat Pack Backpack Trivia: While researching a unique name for our new backpack several were selected from a pool of names solicited from our sewing crew. Alas, most proved to be taken by other companies. While tossing out the name rat pack, which was also taken, our Minister of Information suggested calling it the Kat Pack, in honor of our PR Intern at the time Kathleen, who goes by the nickname "Kat". CEO Jim Markel liked it and the rest is history.
