Diane Reed Rutland By LAURIE LYNN STRASSER Herald Staff When most Rutlanders think farm, cows prohably come to mind. When they hear Hubbard, they probably envision trash men. True, the Hubbard brothers run a solid waste disposal business out of their farm in the shadow of Bald Mountain on Cold River Road. And, yes, theyve got cows 100 head of Holsteins and Jerseys. But they also raise Australian emus, pygmy goats, miniature horses, Eurasian fallow deer, South American llamas, New Zealand red deer, miniature donkeys, blue-shouldered and white peacocks, Canada geese, swans, sheep and Thanksgiving turkeys.

The keeper of this international menagerie is 57-yearold Ted Hubbard Sr. He can hardly wait for spring, when he plans to usher in newborns and add Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs to the mix. There aint a farm around here like said. You name it, we got it. If we aint got it, well -go get it.

Some of his animals have commercial value, but to him, theyre mainly a hobby. Red deer antlers, which can grow up to 40 points, fetch as much as $85 a pound if frozen in their velvet and sent to New Zealand, he said. They are crushed for use in arthritis and rheumatism drugs, he said, standing before his prized 11-pointer. God, hes beautiful, Hubbard said. I cant cut his horns.

Robin Sheldrick Fair Haven By KEVIN OCONNOR Herald Staff A month after 200 students signed a petition to stop hallway taunts against gay and lesbian classmates, Rutland High corridors continue to buzz about homosexuality. The talk, however, has turned. Loudspeakers, for example, now announce meetings of the schools new gay-straight alliance. A second support group is gathering at Rutlands Youth Services Center. Petition organizers Kristen Nugent and Patrick Raymond, both seniors, have read of their efforts in USA Today and on the Internet.

Vermont ETV has selected them to appear on a live Forum With the Governor next week. We have gotten a lot of congratulations and a lot of support, Raymond said this week. We have gotten some negative dirty looks, crank phone calls, hate mail but weve gotten so much more positive. People are real- izing this is a problem. Students presented the petition to staff in hopes of ending homophobic slims at school.

We are tired of watching our friends get harassed, the petition said. We are tired of seeing people depressed because they have no one to turn to. We are tired of students going to Rut-1 land High School in fear and we want an end to it." Petition organizers since have addressed the schools 70 faculty members and will do so again next week, Principal Bruce Gee said. The staff has been more cognizant of whats going on, Gee said. The overall response from the student body has been outstanding.

Students are a lot more responsive now, which is nice to see and nice to hear. Petition organizers say support sometimes borders on being over-protective, such as when school personnel discouraged posters for the gay-straight alliance out of concern they may be tom down. There have been people who have been worried were going to be the target of things, Raymond said. Students have reported negative reactions from some classmates who stare or whisper in their presence. Raymond, editor-in-chief of the Red and White student newspaper, received one anonymous letter against an editorial he wrote that was reprinted in the Rutland Herald.
