Sponsored by the Community Club at West Halifax Community Hall; Haystack Receives Undesired Praise For Teaching of Handicapped to Ski The Haystack ski area in Wilmington is in the unusual position of having received some unwanted publicity. Usually ski areas shun publicity when the subject is unflattering like lousy snow conditions or lift breakdowns. But Haystack has been doing something most praiseworthy, even humanitarian, with its program to teach the handicapped to ski.

A report on Haystack's program was printed last week in Lee Leahy's "Trail Sweep" ski column in the Berkshire Eagle in Pittsfield, Mass. Ski School Director Bruce Gavett has been teaching skiing to the blind, the deaf and amputees, Mrs. Leahy says, but he has been avoiding the limelight because he doesn't Vernon Man Admits Striking Son On Sunday A presentence investigation was ordered in the case of Melvin E.

Star pupil is Tamara Marcinuk, 19, of Fitchburg, who won three gold medals in the world championships for the deaf in Europe last year, and repeated the feat this year. Teaching the blind to ski began at Haystack, Mrs. Leahy's column reports, when a Brattleboro Sunday school teacher 1 called Gavett and asked if she could bring her class to Haystack. "I have one problem," she said.

"One boy is blind." "Bring him along," said Gavett. He then went to work with a couple of instructors who blindfolded themselves to practice. The boy, Chris Peppel, son of Mrs. Madeline M. Peppel of Chestnut Street, Brattleboro, can WATA CH 41 WINDSOR VERMONT'S ETV NETWORK State ETV Network Now Covers Vermont Vermont's educational television network went statewide at 9:40 a.m.

today when transmitters atop Mt. Ascutney and Grandpa's Knob went on tife air. Windham County is in the area serviced by the Mt. Ascutney installation and will receive signals over channel 41, UHF. Brattleboro residents will have to wait about six weeks before they will be able to get the ETV programs over the local cable system.

The delay stems from the manufacturer of the special equipment needed by the local firm, cable officials said today. When the necessary parts are obtained the local cable will carry channel 41 over cable channel 11. On this first night of broadcasting in Windham County, a Dover state senator, Stoyan Christowe, will be one of the panelists on a weekly program, "Your Legislature in Action." The program is broadcast each Monday at 9 p.m. Unlike regular studio originated programs, from the studios at the Ethan Allen Campus of the University of Vermont in Burlington, this program originates from Montpelier from the network's mobile bus unit which is capable of broadcasting from anywhere in the state. The Ascutney.

transmitter is also the key to linking Vermont's Educational Television Network with the far-flung Eastern Education Network, and means that Vermont can both receive programs directly from the network and originate programs for the network. Vermont ETV can present to viewers with color sets any programs originated in color by the Eastern Education Network. Vermont ETV does not yet have capability, to originate programs in from its own studios, however. Vermont ETV is also a member of the National Educational Television Network, which in: cludes more than 130 ETV stations across the, country; and can elect from programs produced by any of the member stations. A monthly magazine containing day-by-day program listings plus news and photo -features about Vermont ETV programming is available on a subscription basis, The 32-page magazine, Vermont Educational Television Program Guide, is available for $2 per year for 12 montly issues from Vermont ETV, Ethan Allen Winooski.

Gardner lives in Hudson, where he is an inspector of building materials for the state Highway Department, but spends every spare minute, even vacations, teaching at Haystack. "I was feeling very sorry for myself," Mrs. Leahy quoted Gardner a as saying. "Dr. Lorentz insulted me into doing something so that I started living again." Dr.

John Lorentz was then at the New England Medical Center and is now at the Bath, Maine, Medical Center. "I had been an athlete, played football and all kinds of sports, but never had time to ski," Gardner continued. "I decided to try it and wrote to seven ski areas asking for help. I was turned down. So I took my one ski and crutches and showed up in a class and said 'Teach me'." With the help of an Austrian, Pepi Goginburger, Gardner started to ski.

He entered the May Day slalom at Killington in 1965. "I came out of my binding at the last gate," he recalled. "It meant a lot of determination and bruises," Gardner said of his new sport, "but it has created a whole new life for me." Gardner praised the attitude of Gavett and Haystack: "He wants to know what he can do for them, not what they can do for him," the amputee said. "Other areas wanted to know how much money they could make." 1 TOWN AGENT John Burgess involved in breaking the town's al made and rejected at Flanking Burgess are the the town clerk, Mrs. Jettie B.
