1976 Past and Present Final V2 Preface For most of us, there is a great satisfaction in looking back at our heritage. Then, it was a treat to cross a covered bridge, walk down a shady lane or celebrate the Fourth of July with a picnic. So many events (like threshing bees and barn raisings) meant sweat and hard work, and so many were worth the effort. For one thing, they have helped give us the affluent life style we have come to take for granted. The Bicentennial Year 1976 did make us pause and think: What are we doing for those who gave us that heritage...and who will keep the records for posterity? In the beginning, one member from nearly all area organizations was delegated to form a Bicentennial Committee. Their immediate objectives were completed, but the group had collected a great deal of historical material. It would be a shame, they felt, to have this material once more hidden by the dust of time. It seemed inevitable that all this material they'd gathered be formed into something permanent. Four Monticello people took the initial move to see what other towns were doing in this area of putting their history in book form. After the first organizational meeting, interest and support in the community grew to a gratifying level. By the portrayals and depictions in this book, the committee wishes to repay the community for its interest and support. Thomas Brusveen July, 1977 Monticello's Bicentennial observance included an ecumenical religious service on the shore of Lake Montesian...1976. Message from the Mayor It is appropriate that the Monticello Historical Committee should be formed at this time, and produce this publication. 1976, a Bicentennial year, brought many reflections of our past history throughout the nation. Past reflections on our local history were inspired by the Monticello Bicentennial Committee. Through the dedicated efforts of this committee, Monticello was recognized as a Bicentennial Community on the national and state level. Through these efforts, we have for the first time an accurate record of the past 133 years of Monticello history. I am sure future generations will value this publication, and it is hoped that they will preserve and add their history to it. The individuals who served on both of these committees are to be commended for their fine efforts. To the Bicentennial Committee, the Historical Committee and other individuals who participated or contributed, I wish to express on behalf of all the people of the community our gratitude and sincere appreciation.

But their government was no more than a Ordinance of 1787." rope of sand.

Indian activity, especially that of Chief Blackhawk, did not affect the history of the Monticello area except that settlers were kept out of the locality by the Indians. It was not until after the Blackhawk War, lasting about three months in 1832, and following the arrest of Blackhawk, that pioneers felt free to come into the Little Sugar River area, working first the mines in Exeter and then establishing settlements.

  • Report to the Vermont Cheese Council
    MAKERS & MONGERS Exploring Social Networks in the Regional Supply Chain for Vermont Artisan Cheese Prepared for: The Vermont Cheese Council By: Rachel A. DiStefano, M.S., Food Systems, University of Vermont Dr. Amy B. Trubek, University of Vermont June, 2014 I. Executive Summary Three major themes emerged from the social network analysis of supply networks for Vermont artisan cheese: types of relationships, varieties of retail operation, and importance of distributors. The results indicate that the regional supply chain is a multiplex system stemming from a complex balance between a cheesemaker’s goals and the needs of various retailers. Relationships: The relationships between cheesemakers and retailers ranged from highly social and personal to distanced and business minded. The social network is clustered around several well-connected cheesemakers and retailers. The scale of production and number of years in business influences a cheesemaker’s centrality in the social network. Retail: The majority of Vermont cheesemakers sell to retailers both inside and outside of Vermont. Vermont cheesemakers rely on a diverse variety of retail venues – from ultra-local general stores to large national supermarket chains – across the region. Food cooperatives, primarily in Vermont, emerged as highly central in the social network. The consistent champions of Vermont cheese outside of Vermont appear to be small specialty retailers – either dedicated cheese shops or gourmet food stores. Distributors: Distributors play crucial roles as intermediaries between cheesemakers and retailers. When distributors become involved in selling Vermont artisan cheese, cheesemaker-retailer relationships often resemble a sales network rather than a social network. Page 2 II. Background Why do people like Vermont artisan cheese? What makes it unique, desirable, and good to eat? Previous research with consumers has demonstrated that social information related to where and how Vermont artisan cheese is made is important—not just for preference but for physiological sensory experience.

  • Best Practices Guide for Cheesemakers Published February 15, 2017
    The American Cheese Society’s Best Practices Guide for Cheesemakers Published February 15, 2017 Copyright © 2016, 2017 American Cheese Society First Edition, 2016 Reprinted with revisions, 2017 All figures in this Guide and documents in the Appendix have been reprinted with permission from the copyright holders. Best Practices Guide for Cheesemakers Introduction In 2016, the American Cheese Society (ACS) released its Best Practices Guide for Cheesemakers (Guide). Its completion was a key strategic goal of the Board of Directors, and the central task with which the Regulatory & Academic Committee had been charged. ACS members requested such a resource, and by way of response, this Guide was created to encompass currently accepted best practices for cheesemaking. This second edition of the Guide includes updates based on changing regulations, incorporates direct feedback and clarification from reviewers at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, and provides more current resources and templates where available. This Guide provides an easy reference for busy cheesemakers—especially small- to mid-size producers—one which can be readily accessed. Regulatory agencies and academics provide information in great detail, but it is often buried within volumes of text. This Guide gleans the key requirements, suggestions, and practices from that vast sea of information, and attempts to condense them into a more easily digestible format written in more accessible language. I hope you will find that the information provided in this Guide is useful and answers some of your key questions. Please keep in mind that this is not a static document. The Guide will continually grow and change based on feedback from members, academics, regulators, and others.

  • Fiscal and Capacity Requirements
    CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR THE GAMING REGULATORY OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY Area 2: Fiscal and Capacity Requirements October 21, 2013 0 Table of Contents 1 Approach By direction of NH RSA 284-A, the New Hampshire Gaming Regulatory Oversight Authority has directed WhiteSand to prepare a report identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the 2013 NH legislative proposals as compared to the best and most relevant components of the regulatory provisions in the other comparator states. This part of the report addresses fiscal and capacity requirements: WhiteSand has approached this particular task using a formal methodology to determine market demand. We reviewed the specific demographics and other attributes of the gaming jurisdiction to be evaluated. This included, but was not limited to, population, income levels, age distribution, nearby competition and gaming tax rates. We evaluated these factors within ranges of 30, 60 and 90 miles of the proposed gaming facility general location. In order to provide a consistent measurement of demographics within a specific region we use distance radii from the region. Using distance rather than driving time eliminates fluctuations due to drive times, day of week, unpredictable events (e.g., accidents, weather, etc.) and other factors. Distance radii are translatable to drive times in most scenarios and provide more consistent results due to the reduction of unpredictability. Using this information, we then identifed a “Competitive Set” for the proposed gaming facility - other gaming properties to be compared based on similar demographics and characteristics. While the properties identified in the competitive set usually do not provide an exact match, they present enough similarities to evaluate market demand and estimate key financial statistics.

TRIBAL AND COMMERCIAL CASINOS IN THE MIDWESTERN UNITED STATES: EFFECT ON COUNTY UNEMPLOYMENT A Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Designation University Honors Amber Irlmeier University of Northern Iowa December 2014 Abstract The subject of casinos is constantly surrounded by debate. The proponents of casinos frequently say that casinos bring jobs, and therefore, they will reduce the unemployment rate. This study quantitatively analyzes this claim. Furthermore, previous research looked at either tribal or commercial casinos. This study looks at both tribal and commercial casinos so a comparison can be made between the impacts of the two types of casinos. The sample analyzed is a set of commercial and tribal casinos in eight Midwestern states. The findings are that a commercial casino entering a county is significantly negatively correlated with the unemployment rate, and a tribal casino entering a county is significantly positively correlated with the unemployment rate.
