Katie Sedore, an English and Language Arts Teacher at
Spaulding High School in Barre, was surprised with an unre-
stricted $25,000 Milken Educator Award during a school-wide
assembly last Friday. This prestigious honor, the only one pre-
sented in Vermont, will be bestowed in 2013-14 upon up to 40 of
Americas most outstanding secondary school educators.
Governor Peter Shumlin presented the award to Sedore. Among
the dignitaries on hand to lend their congratulations were Vermont
Secretary of Education Rebecca Holcombe, Former Secretary of
Education Armando Vilaseca, and Barre Mayor Thom Lauzon.
Our public education system is at the heart of Americas prom-
ise and essential to safeguarding the American dream for future
generations, said Lowell Milken, chairman and co-founder of the
Milken Family Foundation.
With research confirming that effective teachers represent the
single most important school-related factor in raising student
achievement, it is important to honor them, learn from them, and
inspire more capable people to enter the profession. As the pro-
grams motto extols, the future belongs to the educated.
Described as a natural educator, Katie Sedore is a young teach-
er who carries herself with the bearing of a seasoned veteran, a
characteristic that accounts for her success with all students,
including those who face the greatest challenges. Ninth-grade
language arts students at Spaulding High School often enter her
class several grade levels behind only to find that they are held to
the same academic and behavioral standards as other students.
With Sedore on their side setting clear, consistent standards and
treating them with unaccustomed respect - they find themselves in
an environment in which they can and do learn. Rarely is a
student sent from her class for behavioral problems.
In the classroom, Sedore implements a multi-tiered approach of
differentiated instruction, academic involvement and tireless vol-
unteerism. Her classes are designed for student engagement, such
as her persuasive speech class on the subject of violence and the
media which culminated in a live debate with guest judges. Sedore
is a major player on the schools literacy team, developing its cur-
riculum. In addition, she spearheaded a new reading intervention
course to help students catch up or progress at grade level. Taking
literacy efforts to a new arena, she sought out physical education
teachers to promote the teaching of sports literature.
Sedore runs the after-school Homework Club, as well as teach-
es at the Granite Academyan alternative program started by
Spaulding Highs special education department. Colleagues
observe that gains made by students who are often most resistant
to learning amount to nothing short of a transformation in the
classroom. Vermont NECAP scores for her students showed
marked growth.
Coming from a family of educators, Sedore understands the
importance of pursuing excellence beyond the classroom and has
contributed significantly to the schools professional standing. She
heads up the Spaulding Educational Support Team (EST) and co-
chaired the schools recent New England Association of Schools
and Colleges (NEASC) recertification process. She is an active
member of the current Spaulding Multi-tiered System of Support
(MTSS) team. In pursuit of her passion for literacy she is follow-
ing up her masters degree with further graduate work to become
a much-needed reading specialist.
The Milken Educator Awards, conceived by Lowell Milken to
attract, retain and motivate outstanding talent to the teaching pro-
fession, is the nations preeminent teacher recognition program,
dubbed the Oscars of Teaching by Teacher Magazine. Since
1987, the Milken Family Foundation, co-founded by Michael and
Lowell Milken, has devoted more than $136 million in funding to
the Milken Educator Awards, including over $64 million in indi-
vidual Awards to nearly 2,600 recipients plus powerful profes-
sional development opportunities and networking with leading
education stakeholders.

Washington County Retired Teachers Association president, John
Poeton, presents the 2013 $500.00 scholarship check to the student

She recently told John that she is enjoying her college experience and
her studies.
A Principals Breakfast was held on
Wednesday, January 8th at Spaulding High
School to honor the recipients of the Robert M.
Burdett Memorial Award.
This award was named after Robert M.
Burdett, a former assistant principal and princi-
pal at Spaulding High School (1971-1979). It is
presented to students who contribute to the posi-
tive atmosphere of the school based on their
regular attendance, friendly demeanor, coopera-
tive behavior, and earnest desire to do their
best.
Mr. Burdett was known to be a champion of
the unsung hero, and this recognition contin-
ues to honor the good citizens of the student
body. The award is based on nominations from
teachers and staff at the school and is presented
each quarter.
For the second quarter of this year, 36 stu-
dents received this award. Principal Tom Sedore
along with Jayne Parker, School Psychologist
and Coordinator of the Burdett Awards, pre-
sented award certificates to the following stu-
dents:
Grade 12: Edward Adams, Ty Avery, Seth
Breer, Felicity Garr, Carla Hannigan, Maverick
Isabelle, Logan Jacobs, Mitchell MacAuley,
Sabina Mahmutovic, and Tanner Ormsby.
Grade 11: Tina Bell, Rachael Braun, Charles
Castellaneta, Anna Davis, Gillian Felch,
Kassandra Perantoni, and Alexandra Simpson.
Grade 10: Elijah Austin, Keenan Child,
Connor Duprey, Shelby Jewett, Cailey Magnan,

Turning Point Barre Recovery Center Gives And Needs Support
By Tom Herzig
O
piate addiction, treatment and recovery were in the Vermont
media spotlight last week, which is fine with Bob Purvis
(above), the Director of the Turning Point Center of Central
Vermont on 489 North Main Street in Barre.
Turning Point is a part of the Vermont Recovery Network, a
non-profit organization dedicated to helping people find, maintain
and enhance their recovery experience from drug or alcohol addic-
tion through peer support, sober recreation and educational oppor-
tunities.
In his State of the State address before the legislature last week,
Gov. Peter Shumlin was emphatic that Vermont is in the midst an
opiate addiction problem which has risen to the level of a public
health crisis with no end in sight.
Shumlin cited statistics to back up his assertion. Every week,
our Drug Task Force estimates more than $2 million of heroin and
other opiates are being trafficked into Vermont, he said. Since
2000, we have seen a more than 770% increase in treatment for all
opiates. What started as an Oxycontin and prescription drug addic-
tion problem in Vermont has now grown into a full-blown heroin
crisis. We have seen an over 250% increase in people receiving
heroin treatment here in Vermont since 2000, with the greatest
percentage increase, nearly 40%, in just the past year.
The governor spelled out a four-point proposal he plans to
implement - with additional funding requests that include a near-
term $200,000 Budget Adjustment - to address the backlog of
people on waiting lists for treatment. Our largest waiting lists of
over 500 addicts are in Central Vermont, the Northeast Kingdom,
and Chittenden County, he said. The money will allow treatment
centers to immediately staff up and bring on additional resources.
Right now we dont have the capacity to meet demand.
Describing his four-point initiative to increase treatment, move
those who accept immediate treatment through the criminal justice
system faster, co-ordinate law enforcement statewide and do a bet-
ter job of prevention, Gov. Shumlin added, we need more provid-
ers trained to offer emotional support and help to those who
become addicted; not just dole out maintenance drugs that some-
times find their way back into the drug market.
Vermonts the only state with a network of recovery centers,
notes Bob Purvis. We offer peer support. Were not clinicians.
Were not formal treatment providers ourselves, but we collabo-
rate with them as part of a whole-person approach. We help people
regain their enthusiasm for life. We let them know what recovery
is. Recovery is much more than just abstinence it involves envi-
sioning a healthy, productive life and then achieving it. We support
people with addictive disease on their journey to a better life.
Gov. Shumlin spoke about not just expanding treatment, but
recovery, said VT Recovery Network Coordinator Mark Ames.
Thats consistent with the view that addiction is a chronic dis-
ease.
It has become a widely accepted view that addiction is a disease.
The belief has been bolstered by recent technological advances for
measuring and monitoring brain activity and chemistry. According
to Dr. Kevin McCauley of the Institute of Addiction Study - the
choice or free will argument says drug taking is a behavior and all
behaviors are choices, but addiction impairs your ability to make
choices.
The VT Recovery Network was recently awarded a federal
Targeted Capacity Expansion Grant that has funded the creation of
the Pathways to Recovery Project and the hiring of a half-time
Pathway Guide at each location. Shelley Sweet has taken on the
role of Pathway Guide in Barre.
Shelleys main job is to create support groups to meet the spe-
cific needs of people who are in medication assisted treatment,
Purvis said.
I try to help people transition into a life, help them connect
with people who can directly help their situation, Sweet said.
Addiction is often generational. We have lots of 30-and-under
clients. You get thrown back into the real world during recovery
and you need to acquire social skills and job skills.
Some of the people who come to Turning Point are receiving
Suboxone - a prescription medication used to treat opioid depen-
dence - at medical centers or through certified physicians.
Shelley is terrific with this population, Purvis said. She gets
them into the mainstream of recovery. She knows what questions
to ask people to find out where theyre at.
Addicts are harder on themselves than anyone else, Sweet
said. People can forget that they have positives. We give them
hope, belief in themselves and modeling to live a good life without
getting high.
Turning Point collaborated with producer/director Bess OBrien
of Kingdom County Productions last October to show The
Hungry Heart, a documentary film about prescription drug addic-
tion and recovery, at the Barre Opera House.
In his State of the State address Gov. Shumlin pledged to pro-
vide a grant from my office to enable Bess OBrien and those
whose stories are featured in The Hungry Heart to visit every
high school in Vermont to talk to our students directly about their
difficult journeys. He also pledged to increase funding for the
recovery centers.
The recovery centers are so important, OBrien said. Its a
safe place to get information. Its critical for people in need to have
a place to go. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Bob. Hes
awesome. Hes a terrific leader with a real vision. Turning Point
and the Recovery Network need more support. They run on a slim
budget. They should be twice as funded as they are.
The Vermont Recovery Network reported 167,387 visits state-
wide in FY 2012. Visitors come on average 13.15 times a month.
Recovery centers protect visitor anonymity and dont ask last
names. Network centers have many occasional visitors an aver-
age of more than 100 regulars who come for 2 or 3 visits a week
and a small revolving population of high utilization visitors who
come daily until their lives stabilize.
Our visitors get their lives in order, find jobs, repair the dam-
age caused by addictive behaviors, and function in recovery as
productive members of their communities, often for the first time
in their lives, Ames said.

Along with most all automotive maintenance services
by H. Brooke Paige
When we look back on the grievances that
compelled our founding fathers to revolt
against the King, they seem unsettlingly
similar to the encroachments and impositions
placed upon us by our state and national
governments today.
The Sons of Liberty were moved to holding
their Boston Tea Party over a mere three
percent tariff on imported East India tea. Their
resistance resulted in additional taxation by
Parliament, collectively referred to as the
Coercive Acts, which in turn compelled the
Colonies to grander actions. Events in our
infant nation moved swiftly, the First
Continental Congress convened to petition the
king to repeal the taxation acts and other
onerous impositions upon the Colonials. When
all hope for reconciliation failed, the
Constitutional Congress coordinated the
resistance that rapidly evolved into revolution
and the drafting of the Declaration of
Independence to elucidate their dissolution
with Britain.
In December of 1776, Thomas Paine took
pen in hand to write his American Crisis - a
series of pamphlets outlining the condition in
the Colonies and the grievances of the
Colonialist. Written shortly after his widely
distributed Common Sense, the Crisis
pamphlets were written to support the efforts
of the Colonials in their search for freedom
and independence, expounding the importance
of patriotism in the face of what seemed to be
an overwhelming despotic foe.
An examination of our Declaration of
Independence reveals great similarities
between the transgressions of the absolute
monarchy of King George, III and the
unconstitutional actions of the all powerful
federal government, under the direction and
control of the executive, legislative and judicial
branches that we are subject to today.
If Thomas Paine were with us today, he
would surely be shocked by the degree of
servitude and enslavement that we have
allowed the government to impose upon us.
The Government of the United States has
become a mirror of the tyrannical ruler ousted
by the patriots over 200 years ago.
Over the next several weeks, I hope to examine various ways in
which our national government has come to impose upon us laws
and regulations which have degraded and devalued our lives and
liberties, making us little more than serfs or slaves to a league of
politicians and unelected bureaucrats. While my effort will
certainly fall far short of the inspired writings of Paine in his
original American Crisis; I hope that you will find my thoughts
informative and of interest.
In this introductory writing I wanted to present you with some
of Paines original American Crisis, giving you a sense of the
spirit that led the American patriots to fight for freedom - freedom
which we have too eagerly handed over to the federal leviathan
and its handmaidens.
These are the times that try mens souls. The summer soldier
and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service
of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and
thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily
conquered, yet we have the consolation with us, that the harder the
conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap,
we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its
value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods;
and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom
should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her
tyranny, has declared that she has a right, not only to tax, but to
BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER and if being bound in
that manner, is not slavery, then there is no such thing as slavery
upon the earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a
power can belong only to God.
With this introduction, Thomas Paine, with inspired skill,
proceeded to detail the transgressions of the British Crown and
Parliament - comparing their actions to those of the common
murderer, highwayman or house-breaker (burglar). With exacting
specificity Paine delineated the ever escalating encroachment and
infringements on the life, liberties and property of the Colonials
and their ever-increasing anger and aggression in opposition.
Calling his fellow countrymen to action, Paine continued:
Let it be told to the future world that, in the depth of winter,
when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and
the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet
and to repulse it. Throw not the burden of the day on Providence,
but show your faith by your works, that God may bless you. It
matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil
or the blessing will reach us all. The far and the near, the home
counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice
alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his
children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when
a little might have saved the whole and made them happy. I love
the man who can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from
distress, and grow brave by reflection. Tis the business of little
minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm and whose conscience
approves of his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. My
own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of
light, Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could
have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder;
but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property,
and kills or threatens to kill me or those that are in it, and to bind
me in all cases whatsoever to his absolute will, am I to suffer it?
What signifies it to me, whether he who does these things is a king
or a common man; my countryman or not; whether it be done by
an individual villain, or by an army of them? If we reason to the
root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just
cause be assigned why we should punish in one case and pardon
in the other. Let them call me rebel, I feel no concern for it, but I
should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my
soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a
sottish (drunkard), stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man. I
conceive likewise a horrid idea in receiving mercy from a being,
who at the last day shall be shrieking to the rocks and mountains
to cover him, fleeing with terror from the orphan, the widow and
the slain of America.
Paine concluded his first dialogue:
I thank God that I fear not. I see no real cause for fear. I know
our situation well, and can see the way out of it. By perseverance
and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by
cowardice and submission, the sad choice of a variety of evils -
ravaged country - a depopulated city - habitations without safety,
and slavery without hope. Look on this picture and weep over
it! And if there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it
not, let him suffer it unlamented.
Paines confidence in the face of overwhelming difficulties is
truly inspiring. We can only hope to be as bold and self-assured in
the threatening times we face today.
I encourage you read Thomas Paines American Crisis in its
entirety, overlooked by most historians today, it provides a unique
insight into the spirit of freedom that inspired our forefathers to
secure their liberty and independence.
I hope you will follow my American Crisis series in The World
in the weeks to come.

I
f you enter our home anytime between the
end of October and whatever month winter
feels like releasing its cold grip on us, here
in Vermont, you will hear a faint but unmistak-
able sound. That is, it will forever be unmistakable after you no
longer mistake the sound for something else. At rst, the sound
seems to have the strange echo-y tone of muted cow bells, heard
between muted cow bellows out in some distant eld. Then the
sound may make you think of a tiny, tinny version of the ghost
of Joseph Marley, rhythmically, (every sixteen seconds, to be
precise) shaking and dragged his little bondage chains across our
basement oor. Yes, the only thing you will know for certain is that
the slightly haunting sound emanates up, to softly greet you, from
the cellar below.
If you havent yet guessed, or noticed the title of this article,
what you would be hearing upon entering our house at this tor-
menting, tundra-like time of year, is the soft pitter-patter (Not of
little feet. Heaven forbid, and hold the suicide note.) but of little
wood pellets that have been augured up from the hopper beside
our furnace, as they fall, carefree and unknowing, to their sure de-
mise in the small blast chamber attached to our boiler. How sad for
them, but how good for us. At least I am reasonably sure they are
good for us.
Our pellet burner was installed a year ago, and I do not regret
the decision to buy it. In todays economy it is cheaper to heat a
home with any type of wood than with oil, but decidedly more
work, also. In fact, I cant think of any work involved with heat-
ing with oil, except for earning the money to pay for it. There is
denitely work involved in pellet-burning, at least there is at our
house. You see, pellets are heavy. As a red-blooded, (if slightly ag-
ing) American man, I will never admit that they are TOO heavy...
but they are kinda heavy. Our house is big, and it takes a lot of
whatever type of fuel you use, to heat it. We burned eleven tons of
pellets last year, which doesnt seem like a big deal if you say it
quickly enough. But, what is a ton? In pellet talk it is not two thou-
sand pounds, but just fty forty-pound bags of the things, which, I
guess, is no big deal.
I guess, also, that I didnt quite think through the idea that I
would have to multiply those fty bags by eleven, which is pretty
much ve hundred and fty of those nifty forty-pounders, to be
unpallet-ed, wheelbarrow-ed to the closest cellar window, and
stacked on that cellar oor. If I were trying to sell wood pellets,
I might think that two hundred seventy ve eighty-pound bags of
the things might sound better to customers. Better still, how about
being able to tell a home owner that they would ONLY burn about
one hundred thirty eight, one hundred sixty pounders all winter?
Of course, those bags would be very heavy, but would require few-
er wheelbarrow trips. Of course, also, you might get a few friendly
visits from your local police, after your neighbors notice you stuff-
ing lled body bag-sized sacks through your cellar window. I
guess those forty-pound bags are about right after all.
The bright side of all of this is that, at least for us, pellet burning
really is working out to be more economical than oil burning. I also
get lots of quality time with my boiler as I ll the pellets and clean
out the ashes several times a week. I am in the process of convinc-
ing myself that it is worth all the work, and I do feel good about
burning New England-made wood pellets in my furnace, instead of
black gold from Saudi Arabia or somewhere. Im just waiting for
someone to nd a way to liquefy the pellets. Then they could begin
straining my fuel tank instead of my back.

Early Educators Need a Voice
Editor:
Why us and not them?
I am a home care worker of eight years and we recently won the
right to unionize this past fall. This was a huge success for us
because we will now have fair representation for home care pro-
grams and our clients who depend on us to be there every day to
support and enable them to live as independently as possible. But
if working class is unable to support themselves, how are we able
to support our clients?
It is the same for childcare workers; the only difference is the
age of our clients. But these clients are our most vital and vulner-
able population and they need childcare workers to advocate for
them. It is essential that we invest in our youth now so we have a
stronger society later on. They are our future everything and this
means investing in early educators.
I strongly encourage my legislators to pass the bill that allows
this human right to all early educators so they too will have a
voice!

January is National Mentoring Month
Editor:
Across the country, individuals are reflecting upon, recognizing
and celebrating those people who have significantly impacted
their lives in a positive and supportive way. National Mentoring
Month offers an opportunity to reflect upon our own lives. Are we
significantly sharing our knowledge, love and guidance in ways
that are effectively reaching the youth in our communities?
When someone believes in us and is truly on our side, our resil-
ience grows. How many of us would be where we are today with-
out the encouragement of a supportive person in our lives when we
needed it most? Or, if weve been extremely fortunate, several
different ones along our way? Having positive role models is con-
sistently cited throughout success stories as keys to later success
in life.
For the past 16 years, Girls/Boyz First Mentoring has provided
youth, ages 8-18, with the extra support of a caring, positive adult.
During our existence, over 100 Girls/Boyz First mentors have
served over 150 children. Girls/Boyz First mentees join our pro-
gram because they want to have an extra adult to spend time with.
They meet weekly with their mentors, for a minimum of two
hours, and share hobbies and interests together in the community.
Girls/Boyz First Mentors let their mentees know that they are
rooting for them 100%. They help their mentees dream beyond
their current reality. Girls/Boyz First Mentors help weave a web of
safety when times are tough. With the consistent guidance and
support of their mentors, Girls/Boyz First mentees grow up to be
productive working members of our community. 93.2% of our
mentees graduate from high school. It is for many, a life-changing
experience. Some mentees have even become the first in their
family to go to college!
Mentoring works (its research-based), is cost effective, and is
straightforward. This close, personal involvement of caring adults
occurs at a critical time in the lives of young people when they are
making decisions and choices that can impact their future.
During these times of tight federal and state budgets, Girls/Boyz
First needs to broaden its base of financial support. Mentoring is
too important not to continue for the participants, the businesses
and the community itself that benefit from it. Please help celebrate
National Mentoring Month in central Vermont by giving a tax-free
contribution to Girls/Boyz First. We have just launched a new
crowd funding site at causevox.com. http://girlsboyzfirst.cau-
sevox.com/

I
must admit that I am fnding 2014 very
much like 2013! As always, I didnt
make any resolutions for the new year
because I either never keep them or I forget
what I resolved. So, the new year is just an
opportunity for me to continue on with my
life and hope that all will be well. I dont
quite understand what is actually happening in Washington with
our elected representatives in the Senate and the House but I just
hope that some of them will remember why they are there - its not
just to feather their own nests and fgure out how to get re-elected
year after year.
Rather than dwell on the behaviors of others and have it ruin my
daily life, I am going to think about the good things and how I can
make life better for those that I am in contact with. Which brings
to mind something that I told you about several months ago. In the
Mad River Valley, we have a group of people who decided to offer
a new and wonderful opportunity for anyone and everyone to get
together for a free community dinner. Well, let me tell you that
Vince and Diane were the ones who spearheaded this idea and saw
it through. And what happened was the idea of a community din-
ner took wings, and with the help of the United Church of Christ
(the big white church in Waitsfeld village) who donated their big
basement room and kitchen, the dinner actually happened! What
transpired was that it was such a good idea and so well received,
the dinner will be held on the last Friday of every single month.
Now, I have lived in Waitsfeld for over 52 years and lately, as I
grew older, I really missed the camaraderie that I loved about the
Valley. I know that part of what I missed was because I no longer
have children in school and because I am now older and no longer
involved in many of the activities in the Valley. When I was young-
er I was very involved in almost everything, and this involvement
gave me the opportunity to know everyone and feel very engaged
in the community. But as I grew older, my involvement became
less and less. And I really missed it! Right now, if I go into the local
grocery store, I know no one. And no one knows me either. What a
tremendous change that is!
So, Malcolm and I decided to go the frst Community Dinner
and see who would be there and how it would go. To my surprise,
it was an opportunity for me to greet and see almost everyone I
ever knew! We enjoyed ourselves so much that when we got home,
we marked it on our calendar so when the last Friday of the next
month came around, we wouldnt forget to go. Not only was the
food delicious and plentiful, it was a chance to reconnect with all
the people that I havent seen in a long, long time.
Now, the reason that I am telling you about this dinner is because
I think that there are elders like me all over the State of Vermont
who would love to have the opportunity to have a good dinner at
no cost to them (unless you want to make a donation at the door)
and to get together with old acquaintances and friends. Actually, I
do think that it is an opportunity for us to meet many of the new
people who have moved to the Valley. For them it is an opportunity
to meet those who they might not meet on a daily basis. And for
many of them this type of get together is a new and interesting way
to participate in an old-fashioned Vermont evening.
Think about it, all it takes is someone like Vince and Diane.
Who can get a group of friends together and plan a dinner and
evening of community to any and all citizens of their town. And it
doesnt have to be just an opportunity for seniors. Oh, no, it should
be a time for any and all members of the town to enjoy each other
for no reason at all, except fun. So, think about it and fgure out
how you and your friends can make it happen. And you can actu-
ally make a difference in 2014.
D
orothy Fisher was one of Vermonts
most versatile scholars. She was a
short story writer, historian, novel-
ist, and lecturer. She was born in Lawrence,
Kansas, and in 1907, she and her husband,
John, moved to Canfeld family land in Arlington. Many of her
works were infuenced by her experience in Vermont,
including Hillsboro People, 1915; The Vermont Tradi-
tion, 1953; and Seasoned Timber, 1939.
Other books include John Hill, 1907; The Squirrel
Cage, 1912; Montessori Mother, 1912; The Bent Twig,
1915; The Deepening Stream, 1930; and Why Stop
Learning?, 1927.
In The Vermont Tradition, Fisher compared the val-
ues of her state, independence, citizen involvement and
equality to the early struggles with New York:
There the two groups stood, face to face, toe to toe,
yet so far apart in ideals that the contrasting basic prin-
ciples underlying their two communities were like two
ehemical elements, compelled by their natures, if ever
brought together, to burst into fames. It was on Vermont soil that
historical circumstances forced them upon each other and caused
the explosion of fury.
The successful men in the Province of New York, who knew
how to accumulate wealth and possessions and social rank, were
living in a way which met with approval from the well-educated,
the well-born, the well-mannered nearly everywhere in the west-
ern world. They were smoothly in the groove of the past, the past
which for men of their kind was richly encrusted with success-
memories of power, and money and elegance, of authority, and of
the distinction of person created by authority, of social privilege
which holds the many in inferiority, so that the few may have the
exquisite poison-pleasure of looking down on them. Like all the
upper classes everywhere in the world of that period, those land-
owners in the Province of New York, who meant to establish them-
selves as gentry, were supported by a great past, and by the present
smiling broadly on them.
The homespun young rustics in Vermont had on their side only
the unforeseeable future.
Fisher helped form the Childrens Book Award. The Award is
co-sponsored by the Vermont Congress of Parents and Teachers
and the Department of Libraries. The purpose of he award is to en-
courage children from grades four to eight to read
more and better books. Fisher served many years
on the Editorial Board of the Book-of-the-Month
Club. The Boards tribute upon her death was as
follows:
Other Americans have achieved as much and
won for themselves equally respectful obituaries,
but this does not necessarily mean that they will
be remembered in quite the same way that Dorothy
Canfeld will be, for she was more than an Ameri-
can of great ability. She was one of the rarest and
purest character. In her completely unself-coun-
scious integrity, her courage, her humor and her
practical good sense (the last almost always used to
help other human beings) she harked back to and lent new luster
to our highest pioneer traditions. A confrmed Vermonter, she was
also a cosmopolitan in both space and time. All who knew her felt
at once this combination of deep-rootedness and broad humanity;
and felt themselves the larger for it. Her death leaves our country
poorer. Her life enriched it.

U-32 Board Eliminates Funding for Popular
Community Connections Program
On Friday, members of the Washington Central
Friends of Education, Inc. (WCFE) board
announced their grave disappointment with the
precipitous and ill-advised action taken by the
U-32 board who, essentially without consulta-
tion with key stakeholders or a meaningful
opportunity for public comment, decided to end
the award-winning Community Connections
program at U-32.
Community Connections is based in the ele-
mentary, middle and high schools in the
Washington Central and Montpelier school dis-
tricts. The programs mission is to make a posi-
tive difference in the lives of the areas youth,
support academic achievement, encourage
healthy behaviors and decrease substance abuse.
Community Connections provides services
whenever schools arent in session - after school,
on vacation and in-service days, and during the
summertime when children are most vulnera-
ble to risk.
For over 12 years this highly acclaimed pro-
gram has made significant contributions to the
youth, families and communities of Central
Vermont. Thousands of children have participat-
ed in Community Connections activities; in most
towns over 50% of student bodies have annually
attended, which provide invaluable support to
working families.
We all know that these are tough economic
times. School boards often need to make difficult
decisions about trimming budgets, but eliminat-
ing an incredibly successful and cost-effective
program like Community Connections, espe-
cially without meaningful consideration, makes
absolutely no sense, Sarah Kinter of East
Montpelier, WCFEs President and a U-32 par-
ent said on Friday.
It is also distressing to me that programs and
direct student services are being cut, while the
schools administrative budget remains
untouched, adds Sue Clayton, WCFE Vice
President from East Montpelier.
WCFE Board Secretary and another U-32 par-
ent, Lisa Rubin of Calais added, U-32s action
also adversely affects Community Connections
throughout the entire local school network by
seriously undercutting program capacity.
Im astounded that U-32 has taken this action
in the very week when our Governor and
Legislative leaders have committed to treating
and preventing drug abuse as a top priority for
the State, said WCFE board member Bill Haines
of Worcester.
Washington Central Friends of Education is a
community-based non-profit organization whose
main mission is to strengthen the communication
and cooperation between the residents of the
towns of Berlin, Calais, East Montpelier,
Middlesex, Montpelier and Worcester, and the
Washington Central Supervisory Union and
Montpelier schools.
Since 1992, WCFE has provided a platform
for much-needed new educational initiatives,
including the Branching Out program. It has
been a resource for the Washington Central
schools in expanding educational opportunities
in areas such as after-school programs, mentor-
ing, community-based substance abuse preven-
tion programs, service learning projects, and
youth-initiated programs.
For the past 21 years WCFE has raised mil-
lions of dollars through grants and donations to
support our students through important programs
like Community Connections. Their success
depends on maintaining effective partnerships
with the schools to fully leverage scant resources
and maximize benefits for the public, said
WCFE Treasurer Cort Richardson.
ROSSI, RAYMOND PAUL, 83, of Barre,
passed away on December 30, at Central Vermont
Medical Center. Born in Barre on April 6, 1930, he
was the son of the late Mario and Mary (Parnigoni)
Rossi. Raymond attended Barre City Schools and
was a 1948 graduate of Spaulding High School.
Soon after, he entered into the armed forces and served at the
Virginia base from 1955 until 1963. While in the service, he was
acknowledged for his exceptional artillery skills. After the service
he returned to Barre where he owned and operated an Italian
Specialty Store with Carletto Parnigoni. Carletto and his wife,
Mary, opened their home to Raymond, after his parents, Mario and
Mary Rossi, passed away. Raymond then met Patricia Ann
Boucher, and they were married on Jan. 18, 1969, in the Bethany
United Church of Christ in Montpelier. They have always made
their home in the Barre area. In 1972 they adopted their only child,
Brent Rossi. Survivors include his wife of 44 years of marriage,
Patricia Rossi, of Barre; one son, Brent Rossi, and his fiance,
Maurissa Bunnell, of Hardwick; four grandchildren; two step-
grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. Raymond is also
survived by his beloved cat, Muffy.
BRIGGS, CHESTER ARTHUR JR., passed away
at his home in East Calais on January 2, surrounded
by his beloved wife, his son, his nephew and his dog.
Chet was born in San Diego, Calif., on June 23,
1940. He attended the University of Texas, where he
became deeply involved in the civil rights move-
ment. In 1960, Chet led a movement to integrate
lunch counters, movie theaters & local businesses in
Austin, Tex. During this time, he found his personal faith as a
Quaker. He went on to organize several peace groups and voter
registration drives in Texas and Louisiana, as well as one of the
first protests against the Vietnam War in 1961. During summers
Chet worked as a forest fire lookout and trail crew leader in Idaho.
Soon a burgeoning alternative culture movement was sweeping
the country, and Chet participated in Austin with concerts at the
famous live music venue, The Vulcan Gas Company. He helped
start the first student co-op residence in Austin, in which Janis
Joplin was one of his housemates. He was co-owner of The
Psychedelic Pizza Parlor, the first live music venue that hosted
Roky Erickson & The 13th Floor Elevators. During his student
days he met the love of his life, Karen Lane, whom he later mar-
ried. Together they moved to Atlanta in 1970, to open the regional
office of the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors (a
national draft counseling organization) in response to the need of
active military, veterans, draftees, and resistors who opposed the
Vietnam War. This organization eventually became the Southern
Center for Military & Veterans Rights, whose focus was to provide
legal aid to Vietnam veterans with flawed discharges that jeopar-
dized their futures. During those years he served as movement
editor for the renowned underground newspaper The Great
Speckled Bird, and he and Karen founded the Georgia Folklore
Society. In 1977, Chet joined the congressional campaign of civil
rights luminary John Lewis as campaign co-director, which helped
build the political coalition that eventually sent Lewis to Congress,
where he still serves in the House of Representatives. Soon after,
Chet & Karen moved to Vermont, purchasing a historic house in
East Calais that was in need of renovation. Chet became Head
Start director with Central Vermont Community Action Council,
and later served as administrative director for the agency. He
developed two award-winning projects for the Partners of the
Americas: Vermont/Honduras - one for rural farmers and the other
for small business owners. He also owned and operated his own
firm, Public Management Systems, and was a statistician with
Vermont Medicaid for 13 years. Every moment of Chester's life
was spent in pursuit of helping the world around him. From civil
rights to anti-war activism, from organic farming to the Red Cross,
from music festivals to Chinese cooking, Chet was tireless in his
efforts to elevate his community and its conversations. From
1978-82, Chet helped chair the hugely successful Barre Ethnic
Heritage Festival. He also served on the board of the Champlain
Valley Folk Festival for 17 years. He was a popular guest chef,
including at the annual Chinese New Year's Banquet and Auction
to benefit the Aldrich Library of Barre. They have held similar
fundraisers for the People's Health & Wellness Clinic and for
Central Vermont Red Cross. Chet was a member of the Barre
Rotary Club, and past-president of the VT Alliance for Retired
Americans, advocating for the preservation of Social Security and
Medicare benefits for seniors. As president of the Barre Historical
Society, Chet has been instrumental in the restoration of Barre's
Socialist Labor Party Hall, a National Historic Landmark. Chet
earned his master's degree in public administration at the University
of Vermont in 1994. He was a long-time volunteer of the American
Red Cross, serving as disaster services director for the Central
Vermont/New Hampshire Valley Chapter and providing aid
through multiple disasters. Chet was vice president of the board of
Central VT Home Health and Hospice, where he served on the
long-range planning committee. In 1980, Chet and Karen celebrat-
ed the birth of their son, Justin Lane Briggs, who also grew up
participating in many of their joys and activities; he now lives in
Brooklyn, N.Y. Since 2002, Chet and his family have hosted over
a dozen foreign exchange students from a half-dozen countries.
Few people gave as much support and love to those around him as
Chet did; few people laughed, listened and enjoyed life so much
as he. Any interest or passion he came upon was explored to the
point of expertise. He was truly progressive: politically and cultur-
ally ahead of his time, Chet's experience also spanned the gap
between the depth of history and tradition and the vigor of the
future and human advancement. He strived to teach those around
him as much about ancient folk music as he did about the next
developments in computer engineering. Atop all the social and
political conflicts Chet fought throughout his life, the past few
years have also been a long battle for health. Chet was a powerful,
resilient man and it took many ailments acting in concert to bring
him down. Still he found humor in his struggles until the last. The
world has been immeasurably improved for his having been in it;
the world is the worse for having lost him. There will be a celebra-
tion of his life, with music, Chinese food & friends at the Socialist
Labor Party Hall in Barre on January 25.

at holiday gatherings, going to his Aunt Krystal's and Uncle Rick's
to spend the night with his cousins, or going out to eat. Konner

Nursing Home. She was born Jan. 16, 1928, in Northfield, the
daughter of Leo J. Bell and Dorothy (Eastman) Bell. She married
Robert LePage, of Barre, in 1952. They later divorced. She later
married Earl Gove, of Bristol, in 1979. He predeceased her. She
worked for many years for Vermont Secretary of State James
Douglas. Survivors include three sons, Alan LePage, Charles
LePage and John LePage; a daughter, Susan McDonald; eight
grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren, all of Barre.
LAVANWAY, MATTHEW ALBERT, 25, passed
away at his Duxbury home on Tuesday evening,
January 7, 2014. Born in Berlin on August 13, 1988,
he is the son of Kevin and Paige (Perna) LaVanway.
Matt was a 2006 graduate of Harwood Union
High School in Duxbury and then went on to pursue
the vocation that he was truly gifted for, carpentry
and building. Following graduation, Matt went to
work for Demas Construction of Northfield where he was cur-
rently employed. Over the past 7 years Matt has worked on many
projects, the most notable and the one he was most proud of, was
constructing a beautiful well-crafted home for himself on
LaVanway Road. Known to be a shrewd wheeler dealer who
parlayed good deals on many things, Matt, in addition, truly
enjoyed hunting, working on all things mechanical, welding and
working on any carpentry job. He had an eye and the exceptional
skill to turn any old thing into something amazing. Matt was a
shirt off the back kind of guy; always willing to drop everything
to help someone out.
Matt is loved and mourned by his parents, Kevin and Paige
LaVanway of Duxbury; his siblings, Mariah LaVanway and her
fianc Don Smith of Duxbury, Jay LaVanway and his wife
Meghan of Duxbury; his companion, Chloe Labbe-Thibouthot of
Waterbury; a niece, Nola Smith; a nephew, Aiden LaVanway; his
paternal grandmother, Zelda LaVanway of Fayston; his maternal
grandparents, Candace Puglise and her companion Lowell Spink
of Orleans, James Perna and his companion Marcella Kelly of
Dallas PA; his maternal great-grandparents, Claire Johnson of
Woodstock CT, Kent Paige of Orleans; as well as aunts, uncles,
cousins and extended family. Matt was predeceased by his pater-
nal grandfather, Albert LaVanway, Jr., and his aunt, Alyce
LaVanway.
A celebration of Matts life will be held from the Wesley United
Methodist Church in Waterbury on January 17, 2014 at 11 a.m.
with a reception to follow in the Fayston Town Hall. The family
requests that flowers be omitted; rather memorial gifts would be
appreciated to the Duxbury Elf Shelf (Food Shelf), PO Box 23,
Waterbury, Vermont 05676.

Vermont Ranks High on 2013 Health
Security Preparedness Index
Vermont scored above the national average in five of six catego-
ries of a new National Health Security Preparedness Index that
measures a states ability to protect public health in the event of
epidemics, foodborne disease outbreaks, terrorism and other emer-
gencies.
Overall, Vermont scored 7.7 out of 10 points, compared to the
national average of 7.2. States were rated on 128 measures from
35 data sources, including the United Health Foundation and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The index results are not intended for ranking states, according
to the report, because states face varying threats and should apply
common preparedness principles in locally relevant ways.
Administered by the Association of State and Territorial Health
Officials (ASTHO), the index shows strengths and challenges in
health surveillance, incident and information management, coun-
termeasure management, community planning and engagement,
surge management, and Emergency Medical Services.
Preparedness is an ongoing process and we have steadily built
our capacity to respond to a public health threat along with key
partners in emergency response in every corner of the state, said
Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD. This is a responsibility
we take very seriously, and these national reports are helpful in
showing us areas that may need additional work.
Vermont earned a perfect score in several measures, including
the ability to manage and dispense emergency drug supplies from
the Strategic National Stockpile, and for its emergency public
information and communication plans.
An area where Vermont scored low was managing volunteers
during emergencies (1.9 points compared to the national average
of 3.7).

A MORE BALANCED APPROACH
Older adults are particularly likely to lose their balance and fall. As
the result of fractures and other serious fall-related injuries, seniors
independence can be undermined and their lives can even be at stake.
To address balance problems, physical therapists may focus on position-
sensing nerves known as proprioceptors, which are responsible for
helping people perceive where their bodies are in space. Located in muscles,
tendons, and joints, proprioceptors sense the bodys position and relay the
information to the brain. From
there, the information is used
to relay commands back down
to muscles, which adjust their
contractions accordingly. By
exercising this sensory and
command system, physical
therapists can help seniors better
maintain their balance and avoid
dangerous falls.
P.S. Proprioceptors on the soles
of the feet that sense the shift
from a standing position to a
forward walking motion help
ensure that the body remains
balanced.
Falls can diminish your ability to lead an
active and independent life. Some people
believe that falls are a normal part of aging
and are not preventable. Ironically, a lack
of knowledge about risk factors and how to
prevent them may contribute to many falls.
Physical therapists can help you reduce your
risk of falling by assessing your risk, helping
you make your home safe, educating you
about the medical causes of falls, and working
with you on strengthening and balance
exercises. To schedule a consultation, please
contact ROWAN COURT HEALTH & REHAB
CENTER at 476-4166. We are located at 378
Prospect St.

First Aid Kit
In the event of minor cuts,
scrapes, burns or other inju-
ries that can occur around
the house, it is a good idea to
keep an emergency first aid
kit on hand. Experts recom-
mend that your kit includes:
sterile dressings and adhe-
sive bandages, antibacterial
soap or wipes, antibiotic
ointment, burn ointment, eye
wash solution, sterile gloves
and a thermometer. You
might also want to include a
supply of any daily prescrip-
tions and medical supplies,
like blood pressure or glu-
cose monitoring equipment.

ump your vitamin and mineral supplements?
Dont throw those babies out with the bathwa-
ter! Were still taking ours, despite some new studies
bashing multivitamin benefits. Were also ignoring
headlines like Multivitamins a Waste of Money
and Your Multivitamins arent Doing a D**n
Thing -- and we think you should, too.
Were convinced that some vitamin supplements
have plenty of health-protecting benefits -- espe-
cially if youre over 50, munch a less-than-perfect
diet, are a woman of reproductive age or are among the tens of
millions of Americans who take nutrient-zapping drugs for high
blood pressure, diabetes or to tame stomach acid. Thats a lot of
folks. So why the opposition to multivites?
One metastudy conducted for the U.S. Preventive Services Task
Force looked at 27 supplement studies involving more than
400,000 people. It found no benefit for longevity, cancer preven-
tion or heart health in people without nutrient deficiencies.
The second followed 5,947 guys for 12 years and found that
multivitamins didnt sharpen thinking or memory in men who ate
healthy diets.
The third tracked more than 1,700 heart-attack survivors and,
again, found no heart-health benefits for those who took a multi-
vitamin, but plenty of people dropped out of that study. All three
studies appeared in the same issue of the Annals of Internal
Medicine. The editors of this well-respected journal told readers
Enough is Enough: Stop Wasting Money on Vitamin and Mineral
Supplements.
We have a different message for our readers. We want you to
know that what these studies really found is that if you eat well
almost all the time or only take your vitamins some
of the time, you wont get a benefit. This is news?
The studies also didnt show any harm from taking
multivitamins.
We recommend that twice a day, most people take
a half a multivitamin, containing important nutrients
at levels close to their recommended daily allowance.
Its a great, inexpensive insurance policy against an
imperfect diet. More than 60 percent of folks taking
the nutrition test at RealAge.com dont get recom-
mended amounts of vitamins and minerals from their diet (sea salt,
for example, doesnt have much iodine).
The reason to take half a multi in the morning and half at night
is that you urinate out soluble vitamins in 12-16 hours; two doses
help keep blood levels steady.
We also take a daily supplement of 1,000 IU of vitamin D-3 and
DHA omega-3 (Mehmet takes 600 mg and Mike takes 900 mg
because hes over 60). Whats in it for you? In addition to an 18
percent reduction in cancer rates after age 70, here are a few more
benefits:
If youre over age 50: A multivitamin can reduce risk for non-
prostate cancers by 6 percent to 18 percent in men and cut risk for
adenomas -- polyps that can become colon cancers -- by 20 per-
cent. To cut your risk for vision loss and early forms of age-related
macular degeneration, add 900 mg of DHA and a lutein and zeax-
anthin supplement (Dr. Mike does) to help protect your eyes.
If youre a woman of reproductive age: Take a multivitamin
enriched with the 400-600 mg DHA omega-3 at least three months
before you conceive and throughout your pregnancy. It can reduce
your childs risk for autism 40 percent, of serious birth defects 80

her MD. Dr. Brennan completed her family
medicine residency at the Ventura County

We are pleased to welcome another talented
physician to CVMCs Hospitalist team, stated
Judy Tartaglia, CVMC president and CEO. Dr.

percent and of childhood cancers (those that strike between ages 2
and 6) 65 percent. Since 50 percent of pregnancies are unplanned,
taking your multi daily whether youre thinking about motherhood
or not is a good idea. If you do become pregnant, talk with your
doctor about other prenatal vitamins.
If you take a diuretic, an acid-blocking proton pump inhibitor or
the diabetes drug metformin: Some diuretics can reduce your
bodys store of potassium, needed for healthy muscle function and
healthy blood pressure. PPIs can lower levels of vitamin B-12,
which helps your body make red blood cells, nerves and DNA.
And metformin can reduce B-12 levels and magnesium, also
important for healthy blood pressure.

Spanish Toast
A tasty tradition in Spain, that is largely ignored
here in America, is the Spanish Toast. Plates of
sliced, juicy tomatoes and cloves of freshly peeled
garlic is commonly found on tables throughout the
countryside, saddled alongside some beefy bread
that has been crisped under the broiler. When you
combine the two, you have a sit down smearing
of the bread and served with a bottle of Chianti,
you also have a table of friends that the conversa-
tion could last for hours. (If my tomatoes are a little
too rm? Dunk them in warm water for an hour to
soften, then continue with the preparation of the
recipe).
8 thick slices hearty bread
4 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
4 very ripe, plum tomatoes, each cut in half
crosswise
4 teaspoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon(s) coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) cracked or ground black
pepper
Gently roll the tomatoes, if rm, between your palm
and work surface to loosen the pulp within. Either in
a toaster or three inches from the heat source under
the broiler, toast the bread on both sides until well
browned, about 2 minutes on each side.
While warm, rub a half garlic clove on one side of
the toast, followed by a tomato half. This is where
the napkin will come in handy because the pulp of
the tomato will rub off onto the toast and, ultimately,
your hands and the plate underneath.
Finish your Spanish Toast with a drizzle of olive oil,
salt and black pepper and eat while warm.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Although youre getting kudos
and other positive reactions to
your suggestions, dont let the
cheers drown out some valid
criticisms. Better to deal with
them now than later.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Following your keen Bovine
intuition pays off, as you not
only reassess the suggestions
some people are putting in
front of you, but also their
agendas for doing so.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
You continue on a high-enthu-
siasm cycle as that new project
youve assumed takes shape.
Youre also buoyed by the
anticipation of receiving some
good news about a personal
matter.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Your eagerness to immerse
yourself in your new assign-
ment is understandable. But be
careful that you dont forget to
take care of that pressing per-
sonal situation as well.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
This is a good time to learn a
new skill that could give a
clever Cat an edge in the
upcoming competition for
workplace opportunities. Enjoy
the arts this weekend with
someone special.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) You could risk
creating an impasse if you
insist on expecting more from
others than theyre prepared to
give. Showing flexibility in
what youll accept could pre-
vent a stalemate.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Although you can
weigh all factors of a dispute to
find an agreeable solution for
others, you might need the
skilled input of someone you
trust to help you deal with an
ongoing situation of your own.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) The good news
is that your brief period of self-
doubt turns into a positive I
can do anything attitude. The
better news is that youll soon
be able to prove it.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) This is a good
time for Sagittarians to start
making travel plans while you
still can select from a wide
menu of choices and deals, and
not be forced to settle for left-
overs.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) Like your zodia-
cal sign, the sure-footed Goat,
you wont allow obstacles in
your path to keep you from
reaching your goal. Dont be
surprised by who asks to go
along with you.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Let your head
dominate your heart as you
consider the risks that might be
involved in agreeing to be a
friends co-signer or otherwise
act as his or her backup in a
financial matter.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Prioritize: Resolve to close
the door and let your voicemail
take your phone calls while
you finish up a task before the
end-of-week deadline. Then go
out and enjoy a fun-filled
weekend.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your
capacity for care and compas-
sion helps to bring comfort to
others.

The Vermont Legislature is back in session! Pictured here are Senators
Bill Doyle and Vince Illuzzi.
Mugford-McLean
Megan Mugford and Adam McLean were united in marriage on
October 19, 2013. The wedding ceremony was officiated by Paula
Gervais and conducted at The Ponds at Bolton Valley.
Caitlin Mugford, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. Adam
McLean, brother of the groom, was best man. After the ceremony,
a reception was also held at The Ponds.
The bride is in the process of finishing her masters degree in
community mental health. She is a case manager in St. Albans.
The groom received a BA in marketing from the University of
Vermont, and is a budget officer in the Air Force.
The couple reside in Colchester.
Did You Know?
Symbolic gestures are commonplace during wedding ceremonies.
The exchange of rings, stomping on a glass and lighting of candles
are each among the various traditions associated with different
faiths. Couples who would like to try something a bit different can
opt for pouring sand. Choose two different colored sands and
decorative vessels that can hold the sand until a special time in the
ceremony. You also will need another large, clear container that
will contain the sand once it is poured. A glass vase or heart-
shaped vessel works well. To symbolize the joining of two lives
together, both the bride and groom can take one of the colors of
sand and begin pouring them together into the larger container.
The ribbons of sand will join and meld together, much as the
couples separate lives will now become one. The finished sand art
can be kept on a mantle as a remembrance of the wedding day for
years to come.

ERASE BAD CREDIT
FOREVER!
Credit repair companies make
false claims and promises to
erase a trail of unpaid bills or
late payments from your credit
report. However, only time can
erase negative, but accurate
credit information. In addition,
federal law forbids credit repair
companies from collecting mon-
ey before they provide their ser-
vice. TIP: If you have questions
about your credit history or you
want to know how to get a free
copy of your credit report call
the ATTORNEY GENERALS
CONSUMER ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM at 1-800-649-2424.
Dont send any money to a
credit repair company until you

Generous Wildlife Watcher Donates Estate to
Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department
Game Cooking Seminar at Sportsmans Show
Recreational Trails Program Announced
An East Montpelier woman who
loved wildlife bequeathed her estate
to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife
Department upon her death.
Mamie Thurston died last winter at
the age of 87. Her home, property,
belongings, and financial assets val-
ued at more than $500,000 are being
transferred to the department at her
bequest.
Mrs. Thurston was an avid birder
and a lover of all wildlife, according
to Pat Griffen, estate executor and
family friend. She enjoyed watching
the birds at her feeder every winter or
watching the deer in her backyard,
said Griffen. In the end, she decided to leave everything to serve
the wildlife that she loved.
The donation will go to the Nongame Wildlife Fund, which is
used to conserve nongame species such as bald eagles, loons, lynx,
spiny softshell turtles, lake sturgeon, and many species of bats.
The program is funded through a combination of private donations
and federal State Wildlife Grants, which have been hard hit by
recent federal budget cuts.
This generous gift will begin to
fill in the gaps from our budget short-
falls, said Steve Parren, director of
the wildlife diversity program for the
Fish & Wildlife Department. Mrs.
Thurstons legacy will long be reflect-
ed by the species and lands that her
donation will help protect.
Patrick Berry, commissioner of the
Fish & Wildlife Department also
lauded Mrs. Thurstons donation.
Through her thoughtful bequest,
Mamie Thurston has provided a lega-
cy of nongame conservation that is so
highly valued by Vermonters, said
Berry. This invaluable support will
help protect and conserve some of Vermonts most imperiled spe-
cies. I encourage others to consider supporting the Nongame
Wildlife Fund in their charitable giving and estate planning.
Funds from Mrs. Thurstons donation will be met with a nearly
three to one match through federal grants.
Vermonters can donate to the nongame wildlife fund directly on
line 29 of their tax return or at www.vtfishandwildlife.com, or by
purchasing a conservation license plate.
Heres your chance to learn how to prepare game or fish for the
table from experts at the 22nd Annual Yankee Sportsmans Classic
being held at the Champlain Valley Expo January 17-19 in Essex
Junction.
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is sponsoring two
seminars on Saturday, January 18th to highlight the significance of
game meat to Vermonts rural heritage and the importance of
proper game and fish care.
Chef Jimmy Kennedy will offer simple, yet elegant recipes for
venison, grouse and fish at his popular game cooking seminar.
And new this year, the department is also offering a deer butcher-
ing seminar. Eric Holmgren, a professional butcher and state meat
inspector, will demonstrate the simple skills and knowledge you
need to transform your deer carcass into recognizable cuts for the
table.
The seminar on Whole Deer Processing will be held noon to
2pm in the Stevens Room. Game Cooking with Jimmy Kennedy
will be from 3pm to 5pm upstairs.
Game meat is healthy and delicious, said Hunter Education
Coordinator Chris Saunders. But the road to a delicious meal
demands careful processing and preparation. We are thrilled to
have professional chef Jimmy Kennedy and professional butcher
Eric Holmgren serve as instructors to
share their working knowledge of
Vermont wild game.
Chef Jimmy, a life-long hunter and
angler, is the author of The River Run
Cookbook: Southern Comfort from
Vermont and a spokesperson for Cabot
Cooperative Creamery. He is also a
professional bass fisherman and co-
host of the Lakes Region Fishing
Show.
Eric Holmgren owns a professional
game butchering business that processes 250 deer per year and has
been a state meat inspector since 2005. He resides in Orange with
his wife Tammy and their two children.
The Yankee Classic also offers hunters, trappers, and anglers the
opportunity to buy their 2014 license and be entered into a raffle
to win an Old Town canoe, an electric trolling motor, a hunting
rifle, and hunting apparel. People who buy their license online or
at the Fish & Wildlifes exhibit at this event will be entered into
the drawing. The exhibit is also a great opportunity to talk with
department wardens, biologists and other staff.
The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation will
be awarding $504,279 in grants to 15 municipalities and non-
profit organizations across Vermont for recreational trail projects.
Grants are provided through the Recreational Trails Program, and
more money is on the way.
Recreational Trails Program funds come from the Federal
Highway Administration, helping to improve livability for
Vermonters. Funds may be used for the development, rehabilita-
tion and maintenance of trails and trailhead facilities for non-
motorized, motorized, and/or multiple compatible recreational
trail uses.
Vermonts outdoor recreation opportunities are so important to
our way of life and our economy. These grants provide opportuni-
ties for Vermonters to spend more time on our trails, encouraging
outdoor activity and healthy living, said Governor Shumlin.
By improving access to public lands and waters, these grants
also support both local tourism and recreation businesses, said
Forests, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Michael Snyder.
About half of the grant funds are awarded to VAST (Vermont
Association of Snow Travelers) for grooming, signage and safety
patrol of the statewide system of snowmobile trails, with the other
half divided between fourteen other project sponsors in increments
of $20,000 or less. Sponsors are required to contribute at least 20%
of the total project costs. Applications are reviewed and ranked by
a five-member citizens committee based on rigorous criteria, and
only the highest priority projects get funded.
Fortunately, funding for this important program is made avail-
able to Vermont on an annual basis and the next grant funding
cycle is ready to begin. Municipalities and non-profit organiza-
tions can now apply for Recreational Trails Program grant funds
for fall 2014 and spring 2015 construction seasons. Applications
are available online through the Vermont Department of Forests,
Parks and Recreations website at www.vtfpr.org . The deadline
for grant applications to be submitted to the Department is
February 28, 2014.

Texting And Driving Is An Epidemic
Of the many dangers on the
road, text messaging while
driving is one that is entirely
preventable. Putting down your
phone when driving can pre-
vent thousands of injuries and
even death.
According to Students
Against Destructive Decisions
and Liberty Mutual Insurance
Group, instant and text messag-
ing while driving tops the list
of driver distractions. Evidence
gathered by these organizations
has suggested that more than
3,000 vehicle fatalities and
about 300,000 collisions a year
can be attributed to texting
conversations while the vehicle
is in motion.
The Web site Distraction.
gov notes that, in 2010, 3,092
people were killed in crashes
involving a distracted driver
and an additional 416,000 were
injured in motor vehicle crash-
es involving a distracted driver.
Some people are now saying
that texting while driving is
equally as dangerous as driving
while impaired by alcohol or
drugs in terms of interfering
with individuals driving abili-
ties.
Texting creates a crash risk
23 times greater than driving
while not distracted, according
to the United States. Department
of Transportation. Although it
may seem like a drivers eyes
are off the road for only a
nominal amount of time, tex-
ting generally requires about 4
seconds, which is 4 seconds
drivers are not looking at the
road. At average driving speeds,
that can mean driving about
360 feet, or the length of a foot-
ball field, without looking.
But messaging while driving
is not the only danger associat-
ed with phones and operating a
motor vehicle. A study from
Carnegie Mellon University
found that using a cell phone
while driving reduces the
amount of brain activity associ-
ated with driving by almost 40
percent. Therefore, texting or
simply speaking on a phone
while driving involves a manu-
al distraction, a visual distrac-
tion and a cognitive distraction.
All of those distractions add up
to trouble.
Many areas have banned the
use of cell phones while driv-
ing. But such laws are difficult
to enforce. A 2009 Pew
Research study on teens and
distracted driving found that
nearly half of all people
between the ages 12 to 17 have
at one time ridden in a vehicle
where the driver was engaged
in texting. Fifty-two percent of
phone-owning teens ages 16 to
17 said they have talked on a
cell phone while driving.
Any activity that takes a
drivers attention away from
the road can lead to accidents.
This includes eating, changing
radio stations or addressing
unruly children in the back
seat. Making an effort to reduce
distractions -- especially put-
ting down the phone while in
the car -- can considerably
reduce accident rates.

How To Improve Your Night Vision For A Safer Ride
Drivers young and old know it can be dangerous to drive at night,
when vision is easily compromised by poorly lit roads, glare from
other vehicles and a host of additional hazards. Such obstacles can
easily cause car accidents, roughly one-third of which occur at
night.
But while external factors like inadequate lighting on roadways or
glare from other vehicles can contribute to poor driving conditions,
nighttime accidents are often caused by a drivers own vision. A
drivers visual acuity is reduced by 70 percent at night, a figure that
is even higher among older drivers. The human eye is simply not
adapted for nocturnal vision, so colors tend to disappear and contrast
fades away while driving at night.
That reality is why drivers must take steps to improve their vision
when driving at night. Fortunately, there are several ways motorists
can do just that.
* Inspect headlight lenses. The plastic headlight lenses used on
todays cars can get increasingly cloudy over time. They tend to yel-
low and get hazy from the effects of ozone, road debris, pollution,
age, and even trips to the carwash. As a result, headlight lenses can
quickly become ineffective.
But if headlight lenses appear cloudy or yellow upon inspection,
drivers dont have to break the bank with a costly headlight replace-
ment. The Philips Headlight Lens Restoration Kit can restore the lens
to like new clarity. Its easy to use and has a UV coating that will
protect the plastic from further damage.
* Frequently check windshield washer fluid. Inclement weather
not only makes road conditions unpredictable and often treacherous,
but also makes it easy for drivers to forget to check their windshield
washer fluid. Popping the hood to check your vehicles fluid levels
when its snowing or just downright freezing outside might not be
enjoyable, but it is necessary. Salt from snowy roads or debris blown
about from winter winds can easily accumulate on the windshield,
greatly reducing visibility. Be sure to check your windshield washer
fluid routinely during the winter months, and clean your headlights
after driving in inclement weather to remove dirt, film, snow and ice
buildup.
* Replace headlight bulbs. The performance of a headlight bulb
dwindles over time, as a bulbs light output is reduced by humidity,
electrical resistance, filament fatigue and general usage. To combat
normal wear and tear, experts recommend that vehicle owners replace
their headlight bulbs every two years.
When replacing headlight bulbs, drivers can upgrade existing
bulbs with a new generation of high performance light bulbs that
mark a dramatic improvement over the traditional halogen bulbs that
are standard on most vehicles. Philips Upgrade Headlight Bulbs are
designed to put substantially more light on the road while creating a
better beam pattern that is much longer than that produced by stan-
dard halogen bulbs. The Philips Headlight Bulbs come in a variety of
types that are tailored to meet specific drivers needs from daily com-
muters to soccer moms to sports enthusiasts. Even motorcycle owners
can benefit from the improved lighting with the Philips MotoVision
Headlight Bulb, a special light made for motorcycles that also creates
a unique orange reflection so other motorists distinguish the motor-
cycle from other vehicles.
* Routinely clean your vehicles glass and mirrors. Debris and film
buildup on the windshield glass and your rearview and side view mir-
rors can reduce vision, especially for drivers who smoke inside their
vehicles. Make cleaning the glass and mirrors inside and outside of
your vehicle part of your routine maintenance. It wont take very long
and it will significantly improve visibility. When cleaning side view
mirrors, be sure to properly adjust them to eliminate blind spots.
More information on improving your vehicles lighting is available
at www.philips.com/automotive.

Upcoming Free Screenings of The Hungry Heart
Documentary on prescription drug addiction in Vermont
In his State of the State Message last
week, Governor Shumlin spoke of an epi-
demic of heroin and opioid addiction in
Vermont. This is important and very timely.
Dealing with prescription drug addiction has
become a huge public health problem in
Vermont and is affecting schools, families,
children, and crime rates in many of our
communities.
Vermont ranks as one of the highest states
for prescription drug abuse, and when the
cost to feed this habit grows too expensive,
addicts settle for the cheaper priced alterna-
tiveheroin. The Governor praised efforts in our state to address
the disease of addiction and he pledged to bring the documentary
film The Hungry Heart to every high school in Vermont.
This new documentary film by Bess OBrien focuses on
Vermont addiction to prescription drugs. The film is about real
teens and their families in not-so-far-away St. Albans. It is an
amazing opportunity to become aware of this statewide problem
which is right here in our community as well.
Here in Central Vermont, there are several upcoming opportuni-
ties to view The Hungry Heart. On January 16th, 6:30-8:30pm
there will be a free, public screening at Main Street Middle
School, organized by the Main Street Middle School Parents
Group, the Montpelier School District SAP program, and the
Central Vermont New Directions Coalition. On February 4th,
6:30-8:30pm, another screening will take place at the Montpelier
High School Auditorium, sponsored by the Montpelier High
School Booster Club, the Montpelier School District SAP pro-
gram, and the Central Vermont New Directions Coalition. Parents
and community members are welcome and invited to bring their
children grade 6 and older.
As part of the Vermont Department of Healths statewide
Partnership for Success initiative, Central Vermont New Directions
Coalition joins Community Connections and the Washington
County Youth Service Bureau to serve Washington County by
bringing new strategies to reduce opioid abuse and tackle under-
age drinking. It all starts with community awareness.
If you would like to know more about these film opportunities,
community education, or the Partnership for Success, contact Ann
Gilbert at Central Vermont New Directions Coalition at 223-4949
or agilbert@cvndc.org.
Bring your friends and family to one of the upcoming The
Hungry Heart screenings. You wont regret seeing this powerful
film.

Norwich University Announces 2nd
Annual High School Juried Art Show
Norwich Universitys
School of Architecture + Art
presents the second-annual
juried show of high school art,
on display in the Chaplin Hall
Gallery Monday, Jan. 27,
through Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014.

The exhibit is free and open
to the public. In addition, the
public is invited to a closing
awards ceremony on Sunday,
Feb. 9, from 2pm to 4pm with
a celebration and a chance to
meet the artists.
This exhibition features the
work of 56 young artists from 16 Vermont and New Hampshire
high schools. The size of the show more than doubled this year,
with more than 200 submissions. Chosen for display are 105
pieces.
It has been established as the School of Architecture + Arts
major annual exhibition because school faculty feel strongly about
giving space to celebrate talented artists and quality high-school
art programs in the region.
We feel it can make a difference to young students to give
them the opportunity to submit work for review and then display
those chosen pieces outside of their school setting; to provide the
experience of having a piece shown in a true juried art show, said
Jason Galligan-Baldwin, Norwich art professor and studio art
coordinator. In the spirit of experiential education, its important
to use this space to celebrate young people expressing themselves
through art.
This years jurors are Galligan-Baldwin; Steffany A. Yasus, an
artist/photographer/architecture masters-degree candidate; and
Tolya Stonorov, assistant professor of architecture.
The Chaplin Hall Gallery is located on the Upper Parade ground
and is open Monday through Friday, 8:30am 5pm.

The ultimate bluesman, Guy Davis returns to Tunbridge this weekend to
perform for the MountainFolk series. The concert is scheduled for
Sunday, Jan. 19th at 7:30pm at the Tunbridge Town Hall. Tickets are
available at The South Royalton Market, The Tunbridge Store and on-
line at http://mtnfolk.org.

take home a handmade bowl on Sunday, January 19th, when the
Waterbury Congregational Church hosts an Empty Bowls fund-
raiser. Doors open at 5:30pm for this simple supper featuring a
variety of soups donated by local restaurants, homemade rolls,
fruit salad, and dessert.
Empty Bowls is a grassroots movement to help end hunger.
Communities personalize the event by creating the bowls and
choosing the benefiting organization for hunger relief. Over the
past few months, ceramic bowls were handcrafted at Seminary
Arts in Waterbury Center, under the guidance of Mame McKee.
Costs are: $20 for a handcrafted bowl and meal, $10 for addi-
tional adults. Kids eat free with the purchase of one bowl for the
family. All proceeds benefit the Waterbury Food Shelf.
Empty Bowls strives to raise as much money as possible to feed
the worlds hungry people, to increase awareness of hunger and
related issues, and advocate for arts education. Learn more at
www.emptybowls.net. For more information about this event,

The King of Kong:
A Fistful of Quarters
1/2
I dont drink, I dont smoke, I dont do drugs. I play video games;
which I think is a far superior addiction to all those other ones.
-Random Video Game Nerd from The King of Kong
Sorry, Random Video Game Nerd from The King of Kong, I think
you might be mistaken.
I am not recommending that you take up smoking, drinking or drug
use. I am arguing, however, that becoming a serious gamer is a dread-
ful, destructive vice.
At least if you become a party animal, you are going to go out all the
time and meet new people. Thats a big deal.
There is a tendency for some young people - especially young men
- to become socially awkward wallowers if they dont get into the
habit of going out and socializing. Being content to stay home and
play video games every night is the rst step down the dark road of
virginal loneliness.
I am not arguing that becoming a junkie isnt bad for you. But Ive
seen a guy who became a World of Warcraft junkie, and I am certain
that gaming robbed him of his health. Night after night of inactivity,
pizza delivery, and Mountain Dew transformed a healthy dude into a
doughy mess.
The King of Kong is the best movie about gaming ever made. It
shows how addictive and captivating video games can be.
The story begins back in 1982, when the world of competitive gam-
ing was in its infancy. A teenager named Billy Mitchell was the undis-
puted king of the arcade. He held the all-time high score on a number
of different games.
Fast forward to the present.
Billy Mitchell is a 40-something
guy with an over-sized ego. Ap-
parently so many people called
him The King that he started to
believe it.
Mitchell has a amboyant
mullet, an impeccably groomed
beard, and a worshipful trophy wife who shows way too much of her
surgically enhanced cleavage during interviews.
What he no longer has are his records. The only high score he has
left is Donkey Kong, and he will stop at nothing to hold onto it.
Out of nowhere (Redmond, Washington) comes Steve Wiebe. He is
not what you picture when you envision a master gamer. He is kind of a
jock. And hes a normal family man with a lovely wife and two kids.
But when Steve was laid off from his job at Boeing, he decided to
focus all his attention on the old Donkey Kong machine in his garage.
One magical day, Steve managed to beat Billy Mitchells decades-old
high score. He even captured it on video tape.
But not so fast, Steve! Billy Mitchell wasnt going to give up his
title without a ght. For what is he without that Donkey Kong record?
Nothing but a has-been with a hoochie wife and hilarious hair.
This sets the stage for a surprisingly gripping documentary. It works
as a classic good vs. evil story. And it works as an exploration of a vain,
ego-driven man who is desperate to maintain his facade of greatness.
First, Billy nds a way to tarnish the validity of Steves video tape.
Then, he sends in a dubiously edited video tape of his own with a new
high score. Billys shenanigans are shameless, desperate, and hysteri-
cal.
If you are not a gamer, folks, I strongly recommend that you do not
pick up the habit. I do, however, strongly recommend this wonderful
little movie about video games.

Pedal Cars
Q: I began searching for older
pedal cars about 10 years ago,
and so far have managed to
find three that I purchased. I
had a pedal car as a child and
am wondering if you can sug-
gest a collector I can contact,
since I have some restoration
work I need done? -- Sam,
Broken Arrow, Okla.
A: Ron Hughes is owner of
Soda Pops in Miami, Ariz., a
shop that specializes in gas
pumps, signage and jukebox-
es. He has more than 50 pedal
cars in his inventory, and he
can help you. His addresses
are 505 Sullivan St., Miami,
AZ 85539; and oldrestor-
er77@hotmail.com.
***
Q: While cleaning out my
grandmothers home, my sis-
ter and I found a kitchen gad-
get that has us stumped. I am
enclosing a picture and hope
you can identify it for us. --
Kathy, Los Ranchos, N.M.
A: I, too, was stumped by
your gadget. After searching
through several reference
books, I can now identify it as
a pie lifter. It was used to
lift pies out of a hot oven.
These are fairly rare and gen-
erally sell in the $50 to $150
range, depending on manufac-
turer and rarity.
***
Q: I have several dozen
Hummel figurines, and I need
you to recommend a good
price guide that you trust. --
Betty, Pueblo, Colo.
A: There are at least a dozen
price guides. Some good,
some not so good. One of the
better ones, I think, is The
Official M.J. Hummel Price
Guide: Figurines & Plates by
Heidi Ann Von
Recklinghausen. Published by
Krause Books and in its sec-
ond edition, this guide is com-
prehensive and reflects cur-
rent values. With more than
2,000 images in full color, and
updated listings, this one is
highly recommended.
***
Q: I have a Bozo Under the
Sea record set, which I
received for my birthday dur-
ing the early 1950s. What do
you think it is worth? --
Charlie, Homestead, Fla.
A: I have seen the 78-rpm set
sell in the $14 to $25 range,
depending on the dealer and
the condition of the record-
ings. Bozo at the Circus,
even more popular, sells for
about the same.

dog. She enjoys her kitty naps after her daily
adventures within her home.

curl up in front of the re with you in the eve-
nings. Cocoa is a big cuddly love-bucket. A
Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Springer Spaniel
mix, this girl will charm you with her good
looks and her winning, wiggly personality. She

inside, curled
up with you.

Ask for Mr. B
Cats Bad Habits Are Hard to Break
DEAR PAWS CORNER:
My boyfriend regularly
allowed my cat to jump
onto the table during din-
ner and would feed
Baxter right from his
plate. Were no longer a
couple, but Baxter is still
with me, and he insists
on jumping onto the table
and begging food. How
can I break him of this
habit? -- Janine in Reno,
Nev.
DEAR JANINE: It can be tough to break a bad habit in a cat,
especially one that was allowed to persist for so long. You may
never be able to completely train Baxter to stay off the table or
to not beg for food, but you can discourage such behavior.
Dont feel guilty about doing it, either. Baxter likely will yowl
pitifully at you as you eat dinner without him. But dont allow
him on the table at all.
How do you do that? Easy. When Baxter moves to jump
onto the table, either hiss at him or shake something at him that
will frighten him slightly. Many owners use a can of pennies,
which rattles loudly when shaken. Others simply wave a
rolled-up newspaper at their cat, and thats enough to make
their pet stop the aberrant behavior.
Repeat this hiss or penny-can shake each and every time he
tries to climb onto the table. And, whenever Baxter stays down
through the whole meal, or immediately after you finish eating,
shower him with praise.
To make this even easier, try feeding Baxter shortly before
your dinnertime. If youre unable to do that, insist that he stays
off the table and doesnt get away with that behavior either
with you or with guests.

A TIP
By JoAnn Derson
Time Takes Toll on
Brick Walkway
Q: Years ago I laid down a brick
walkway in my backyard using old
building bricks. Lately I noticed
that the bricks have become uneven.
Some are crooked, but in other
areas the bricks are sinking slightly,
creating dips in the walkway. Whats going on? Can I fix
this problem? -- Chet B., Ocala, Fla.
A: Walkways built with bricks (also known as pavers) can
become uneven over time due to normal ground movement
or a shift in the sand base on which such walkways are
typically built. This leads to the problems youve described,
with bricks that are out of alignment and a few depressed
areas in the walkway.
If the uneven bricks dont present a safety problem, con-
sider delaying a repair on these sections. You can try to
move the bricks back into alignment, but that might not
work without undertaking more time-consuming or costly
repairs.
The depressed bricks can be lifted back into place by repair-
ing the base underneath them. Use a pry bar or other lever
to carefully lift up a sunken brick. Then, using one end of a
sturdy piece of wood such as a two by four, tamp the exist-
ing sand down into place.
Put the brick back into the tamped-down section, tapping
with a mallet if it doesnt go in. Measure the different in
height between the sunken brick and the surrounding bricks.
Remove the sunken brink and fill the section with sand (that
has rocks and larger particles screened out of it) up to the
height of the measurement you took. Tamp down the new
sand and remeasure the height, adding sand if necessary to
bring the brick level.
Once the brick is in place and flush with the surrounding
bricks, pour sand over and around the repaired brick so that
it fills the crevices. Use a broom to sweep sand from the
top of the bricks and into the crevices.
HOME TIP: Pull or treat weeds that spring up between pav-
ing bricks as soon as possible, before their roots have time
to spread. This helps keep a brick walkway even over
time.

Snow On The Roof Can Be Troublesome
Staying Safe On Frozen Lakes
Anglers, skaters and outdoor enthusiasts often take to the great
outdoors when lakes and other bodies of water freeze. But even after
days of below-freezing temperatures, lakes may not be solid,
increasing the risk that revelers will fall through the ice, possibly
resulting in drowning or hypothermia. As a result, it is imperative
that safety precautions be taken when spending time on frozen
lakes.
Though it can be fun to skate or fish on a frozen lake, ice is never
safe and its always in ones best interest to treat ice with caution.
Ice strength depends on various factors, including daily tempera-
ture, water depth, water chemistry, currents, and distribution of the
load on the ice. It is impossible to judge the thickness of the ice by
appearance alone. Your best bet is to proceed with caution and fol-
low these tips for survival.
* Be prepared for any scenario. Prepare for the possibility of a
plunge. Carry a long metal or metal-tipped wood pole, called a spud
bar, which can be used to test the strength of areas of ice you are
unsure about. The bar also can be used as a walking stick. Carry
safety spikes to provide traction if you fall through and need to
climb up onto the ice.
* Avoid crossing frozen bodies of water in a single file, as it may
stress the ice. Also, never venture out alone. Always go with a part-
ner or alert someone to your whereabouts.
* Always wear a life jacket. Life jackets act as flotation devices until
you can get to safety.
* Do not take a vehicle onto the ice. Sixty-eight percent of the 117
ice fatalities that occurred in Minnesota in the last 40 years involved
a vehicle. A car or light truck needs 8 to 12 inches of clear ice to be
safe.
* Be aware of cracks or fissures in the ice. Be extremely cautious
crossing ice near river mouths, points of land, islands, and springs.
Currents can cause ice to be thinner in these areas.
* Carry a safety line. Such lines can be thrown to someone who has
fallen through the ice. This may be the best method of pulling some-
one to safety.
* Remain calm if you fall through the ice. Avoid thrashing, which
can use up energy and body heat. Try to keep your head and face
above the water. The body will react to the plunge by going into
cold shock, a condition characterized by hyperventilation, invol-
untary gasping and internal responses including hypertension (high
blood pressure) and changes in pulse rate. You do have time to get
out. Many people can last two to five minutes in cold water before
strength and coordination are compromised.
Try to normalize your breathing to ensure you get enough oxygen
to react and get to safety. Concentrate on breathing slowly and
steadily. Kick your feet and pull yourself out of the water at the
strongest edge of the ice. Try to roll up onto the ice, staying flat to
distribute your body weight. Roll yourself away from the hole into
which you fell and remain on your hands and knees until you crawl
several feet away. Only then should you stand up and walk to safety
to get dry and warm.
Spending time on a frozen lake can be fun, but its also risky.
Knowing how to react in an emergency situation may just save a life.
7 Ways To Alleviate Cabin Fever
A snow-covered landscape can be a picturesque sight. However,
a roof covered in snow is something no homeowner can afford to
marvel at. Thats because accumulating snow and ice very well
could push a roof to its breaking point, even if the roof was sound
before the winter arrived.
According to The University of Arkansas division of Agricultural
Cooperative Extension Service, the water content of snow can
range from 3 percent for very dry snow to 33 percent for wet,
heavy snow. A roof may only be able to support 12 inches of wet,
heavy snow before it is pushed to its breaking point. Snow can be
quite heavy, weighing around 60 pounds per cubic foot. When
heavy snow arrives, homeowners should do their best to safely
clear their roofs of snow.
The threat of snow causing a roof to collapse has many home-
owners floundering. While having snow build up on the top of a
house is dangerous, so, too is climbing up on a slippery roof to
push off the snow. As winter approaches, many emergency offi-
cials urge people to clear their roofs and decks to minimize struc-
tural collapse. But how does one do it safely?
Steep-pitched roofs tend to be the easiest to deal with snow and
ice problems because a snow rake is usually effective. A snow rake
is just what it sounds like. It is a metal device on a telescoping pole
that can be extended to drag the snow off of the roof.
Homeowners may need to use extension ladders to reach taller
parts of the roof. A second person can remain below to steady the
ladder and ensure it doesnt tip over on a slick surface.
It is not adviseable to climb up on the roof directly and shovel
the snow off. The added weight of a person may be all thats
needed to cause a roof to collapse, potentially resulting in grave
injury and considerable roof damage. A snow-covered roof also
can be slippery, which could result in a person falling off the roof.
Anyone who does not feel secure removing snow from the roof
can hire a professional service to do so. Just be sure the service is
properly licensed and insured.
In addition to removing the snow from the roof, here are some
winter weather home care tips.
* Clean the gutters to remove any debris so that gutters will not
become blocked and form ice dams on the roof. In addition, keep
gutters and drains free of ice and snow.
* Add insulation to attic floors to prevent heat from the home
escaping to the roof and causing ice dams that freeze when snow
melts. In addition, make sure the attic is well ventilated so that the
temperature inside will remain consistent with outdoors, further
preventing snow melt.
* Melted roof snow can leak into homes or pool around founda-
tions, causing rot and other problems. Keep an eye open for any
leaks.
* If you live in an area prone to heavy snowfall, a metal roof may
be a good investment. The slippery roof causes snow and ice to
slide off. Special features at the end of a metal roof break up the
snow before it reaches the ground, preventing large, heavy piles of
snow from causing injury when falling to the ground.
Long winter days can quickly bring on feelings of cabin fever.
Although cabin fever is not a recognized medical condition, it can
compromise well-being. Cabin fever can strike even the most
optimistic people.
Cabin fever normally affects people during the winter months,
when shortened days, longer periods of darkness and cold tem-
peratures often force people to remain inside. These factors can
lead to depression, boredom, anxiety, and an inability to concen-
trate. Alleviating symptoms of cabin fever requires making a few
changes, including getting outdoors whenever possible.
1. Head outside. It may be cold and dreary, but getting outside can
be healthy. Take advantage of daylight hours whenever possible.
Plan a walk around the neighborhood before you go to work.
Otherwise, spend your lunch hour outdoors soaking up the suns
rays. The sun is an instant mood-booster.
2. Brighten up the indoors. Choose energizing colors like yellow,
orange and red to decorate the interior of your home. Invest in
lights that offer a greater amount of wattage and brightness. Light-
therapy lamps produce bright light that simulates the sun and
provides broad-spectrum rays. Sitting in front of one of these
lights can alleviate feelings of seasonal affective disorder, or
SAD.
3. Grow more indoor plants. Plants can help filter out stale, stag-
nant air in the house and add moisture to the environment.
Breathing fresh oxygen from these plants can provide you with
energy and help you to feel revitalized.
4. Increase your exercise routine. Now could be the time to join
the gym or become part of a walking group. According to The
Mayo Clinic, exercise can boost mood, reducing immune system
chemicals that can worsen symptoms of depression. In addition,
exercise increases body temperature, which may have calming
effects, and releases feel-good brain chemicals that may ease
depression.
5. Throw a party. The old saying is misery loves company, so
why not invite friends over and banish cabin fever together?
Winter tends to be alienating, as people are more inclined to bun-
dle up and stay indoors. Forcing socialization can brighten not
only your own mood but that of others as well.
6. Get out of town. Cabin fever can be temporarily abated by a
mini vacation. Head somewhere that is warm and sunny. If you
cannot afford a trip to the tropics, a brief jaunt to a spa or relatives
house may banish boredom and get you out of the house.
7. Try a new hobby. Attempt an activity that marries winter with
getting active. Ideal activities include cross-country skiing, ice
hockey, skating, or snowshoeing.
