Mountain Gazette • October 20, 2011 www.mountaingazetteofvermont.com Page 3SONSHINEBy Pat RichmondThe United Church of Underhill, located on Route 15 inUnderhill Flats beside the park, has its worship service and SundaySchool at 10:30 AM on Sunday mornings — all are invited.Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. Visitus on-line at unitedchurchofunderhill.com.CORRECTION: In our last column, I had the wrong day forthe “Good Food for All” dinner. The United Church hosts thefree dinner open to the public on the SECOND Thursday of eachmonth, not the first. Our partner Calvary Episcopal Church hoststheir soup and bread dinner on the fourth Thursday of each monthat their church on Route 15 in the Flats. The next dinner at theUnited Church will be on November 10 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.There is no charge, but a free will offering is accepted to supportmissions of the church.The Missions Ministry of the Church collected 11 backpacksand enough school supplies to fill all of them and more. Thebackpacks were given to our Partners in Service for distributionin time for the start of schools in the area.Now that school has begun, the two Youth Groups at the UnitedChurch have started their activities. KOWS (kind, outrageous,wonderful students) for middle school youth meets the third Sundayof each month from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at the Church. If you orsomeone you know are interested in becoming involved, contactJulianne Nickerson at 899-3798. The high school Youth Group isnow meeting with the group from Covenant Community Churchin Essex. For more information about their activities, call AnneClift at 899-9954.Church World Service, which is supported by the United Churchof Underhill through its two denominations (United MethodistChurch and United Church of Christ), has supplied a large shipmentof flood relief supplies for Vermont. Over 1000 cleanupbuckets, 900 hygiene kits, 350school kits, 120 baby kits, and 120blankets were delivered to Vermont and New Hampshire reliefdistribution centers including Waterbury.The United Church Sunday School mission offerings for thenext several months will be going to the Waterbury Food Shelf.For 17 years, some members of the Church family have gatheredat the church for quilting and knitting. They currently meetevery other Monday from 1 - 3:30 p.m., with the next gatheringon October 31. Initially, the quilts were made for at-risk infants,and the knitting of hats, booties and blankets were for preemies.Now the quilts are given to family services for children and theVNA for adults. The knitted baby items are given to the VNA.Each year the group has made over 100 quilts. They would welcomeanyone who would like to join the group for fun, fellowship,and food! No experience is necessary; there is always a wayyou can help. Contact Irene Kelley at 899-3905 for more information.The handbell choir from the United Church has started meetingagain after a summer break. Plans are under way for somesmall group pieces during worship and whole group music forspecial Church worship celebrations. There is room for more ringers;instruction and practice always available. Contact Choir DirectorRoger Gillim at 899-3106 if you are interested.The United Church of Underhill is one of the 10 churches inthe Underhill-Jericho-Essex Ecumenical Ministry which operatesthe local Food Shelf. Now that cooler weather is coming, morefamilies will be faced with heating bills and will be using thefood shelf to supplement their groceries. Each church in the Ministryis responsible for providing a certain kind of food for thefood shelf; the United Church is the “tuna fish church,” but otheritems are often donated. Right now there is a need for personalcare items, in addition to cereal, tomato products, pasta, peanutbutter, macaroni and cheese, canned fruit, soup, baked beans andcanned vegetables. If you would like to make a donation to thefood shelf, it can be done through the United Church or any otherchurch in the area.COMMUNITY COLUMNSHalloweenBy Suzanne KusserowSenior Guest Columnist……..……is for kids, right? Well, I guess so. One possiblecriterion for identification is the ability of the younger generationto eat 2 candied apples, 3 chocolate chip cookies, a package ofpeanut M and M’s, a Snickers bar, 15 tiny pumpkins made withpure sugar and food coloring, a maple-laced popcorn ball…..andnot get sick (usually). All costumes in this climate are undergirdedwith long underwear, pulled out of summer storage amongst mittens,ski hats, goggles, heavy socks, all smelling vaguely of mothballs.The paper bags that are carried by the kids are a practicalworking definition of the word megalomania. And all householddogs will be sniffing around that night, searching out candy corndropped between sofa pillows and under the bed.But Halloween is also for adults…..at least it should be. It isour opportunity to give life to our imaginations, in a brief, socially-acceptablemilieu. It is a chance to let the neighbors knowthat their assumptions about our silliness have been validated;hopefully, the neighbors have decided to be silly, too.Of course, your kids or grandkids won’t know you. I rememberthe year I made darkened rounds dressed as MISS UNDERHILL.Long underwear of course, topped off by a saggy Speedo bathingsuit, with MISS UNDERHILL spelled out with magic marker ontoilet paper, draped across my chest. Size 12 torn pink sneakers,screaming fluorescent-red lipstick, and a huge peacock feathersticking lopsided out of my hair, completed the costume. My thenyoungchildren hid in the bushes on the other side of the roadwhen I rang the doorbell.This year I am going as a witch. I am announcing this ahead oftime so you won’t have to question whether I am in costume ornot, on the 31 st . (Sometimes, with white hair, saggy eyelids, coffee-stainedteeth, wattles around myneck, it is hard to tell.) I havebeen collecting chewed dogbonesscattered around the yard,that will be scrubbed andsoaked in Clorox, and shouldmake a gorgeous, if somewhatbulky necklace. I also havea long black dress, onceconsidered chic that fits like a burqa.I have considered many possibilitiesfor a hat and right now an old flower pot covered with black crepemay be the most inventive possibility. Lorraine Kennedy, yearsago when we had a community open house at the Town Hall, taughtme how to take a large rubber band, and stretch it from one ear toover the mouth, and thence to the other ear. It makes a fearsomeface, and many a small trickster was caught up in the sinisteratmosphere of the evening, andhad to be led by mother to pickout a homemade cookie or amaple candy in the shape of aleaf.So, I hope there are some outthere who will join me in havingsome “childish” fun. I do not acceptcandy for obvious health reasons,but am glad to be treatedto a small Scotch and water.Three ice cubes only, pleasewww.calvarychurchvt.weebly.comDish up healthy mealsBy Dr. Lewis FirstFirst with KidsParents have recentlybeen feeding me lots ofquestions about how tomake sure their childreneat healthy now that the“Food Pyramid” is nolonger being used. Letme see if I can providesome food for thought onthis topic.This summer the U.S.Department of Agricultureswitched from theFood Pyramid to a colorfulfood plate – called“My Plate” – given the need to make eating healthy as simple aspossible. If you are unaware of what the Food Pyramid is allabout, that is part of the reason for this change.Instead of six food sections in the Pyramid, the food plate hasfour sections (vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein) plus a sideorder of dairy in blue. Fruits and vegetables take up half theplate, with vegetables slightly greater than fruits. Likewise thegrain section is slightly larger than protein, since nutritionistsrecommend more grains than protein (beef, poultry, fish, and eggs)in the diet. Thus the hope is that your child’s plate, when filledwith food, will mimic the food plate arrangement.Why the emphasis on fruits and vegetables? There are fewercalories in these foods, and more vitamins and minerals, comparedto the grains and proteins, to help your child keep theirweight healthy and reduce the risk of their becoming overweightor obese.As for dairy, the symbol reflects a need for dairy with eachmeal, or at least three 8-ounce glasses of nonfat milk or the equivalenteach day. And speaking of choosing equivalent types of foodsfor each category on the plate, there is even a website to allowyou to devise your child’s personal eating plan, atwww.choosemyplate.gov. You simply enter your child’s age,weight, sex and height as well as how active they are, and thewebsite helps you design a meal plan to offer your child choicesto fill out the plate proportions, rather than “telling” him or herwhat they can or cannot eat.Deadline: October 27, Publication: November 20Purses, totes, storage & much more!Like it... go online.Love it... host a party.www.mythirtyone.com/VermontA fun way to bringfriends together.TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO YOUR VEHICLEWINTER TIRESMake your appointment nowfor a full vehicle check up.Foreign & Domestic Auto RepairWrecker Service • Brakes • ExhaustShocks & StrutsLifetime Muffler • Maintenance ServiceVermont State InspectionWindshields ReplacedVisaCitgoDiscoverMastercardAmericanExpressVillage Service& Auto RepairNokia, Hakkapeliitia& Bridgestone TireTed & Jeff AlexanderRt. 15, Underhill899-2056Underhill’sFamilyOwnedLocallyOperatedAumotiveCenter for30 Years

Mountain Gazette • October 20, 2011 www.mountaingazetteofvermont.com Page 9Greetings from Camels Hump Middle SchoolBy Mark Carbone, PrincipalCamels Hump Middle SchoolWith the season’s first hard frost behind us,we begin buttoning things up in preparation forthe winter. At CHMS and all schools in our district,one of our many responsibilities during thisseason is planning the next year’s budget. Withthat in mind, it is important to share what wehave accomplished at CHMS in an effort to makethe physical plant more energy efficient. Theseactions have resulted in real cost savings to taxpayers.Our wood chip heater, installed in August of1994, has decreased our heating costs dramaticallyover the past fifteen years. Last year CHMSheated the building for approximately $.27/persquare foot. It would have cost approximately$28,000 more with a petroleum-based heatingsystem.In 2009, the school’s electrical system wascompletely upgraded with removal of four highline transformers, rewiring of the building, removalof 180+ light fixtures, and the upgradingof remaining fixtures with more efficient ballastsand bulbs. Results from both projects have showna 33% reduction in kilowatt usage. While thislighting retrofit had a price tag of $234,000, wereceived $15,000 from Efficiency Vermont. Theinitial investment will pay for itself in only 8The 4th annual CambridgeArea Rotary – Ski/Ride/Skate SaleThe Cambridge Area Rotary will hold its annualSki/Ride/Skate sale on November 19 and20 at the Cambridge Elementary School.

Because of this upgrade, the annual electricbill for CHMS has seen an approximate decreaseof 25%.CHMS was recently awarded a $500,000 grantfor installation of a solar array at no investmentcost to the local taxpayer. The array, possiblythe largest of any school in Vermont, consists of507 3’x5’ panels mounted on the school’s roof.On optimal performance days, the array shouldproduce enough power for the entire physicalplant. A more accurate projection is a savings ofnearly 25% on the electric bill, ranging from$17,000-$25,000 annually. It is projected thatthe solar array installation along with the 2009upgrades will cut the annual electric bill of$84,000 by over half, to around $40,000.This academic year, a Kiosk will be set up atCHMS for the entire community to view, realtime,the heating and electric usage of the school.Energy efficiency and utilizing non-petroleumbased energy alternatives are not only positivelyimpacting the school’s financial well-being, thiskiosk will educate children and their familiesabout being efficient energy consumers for yearsto come.The next CHMS/MMU school board meetingwill be held on October 27, 2011 at 7:30 PM atCamels Hump Middle School.
