DEBIT<br />
Documenting a Disappearing Culture<br />
By Katie Moritz<br />
Photographer and writer<br />
Peter Miller sits at a<br />
table covered with miscellaneous<br />
daily items:<br />
papers, an old recorder, pens,<br />
opened letters, his latest<br />
book, Vanishing Vermonters,<br />
Loss of a Rural Culture, still<br />
encased in its protective plastic.<br />
He faces a small fire and<br />
frequently scrunches up his<br />
face in frustration as he<br />
talks.<br />
“Some people call me a<br />
whiner,” he shrugs. “I don’t<br />
care.”<br />
It might seem that way<br />
when he talks about how<br />
Vermont is changing.<br />
However, it doesn’t take long to realize that<br />
this is because he truly loves the state and the<br />
people, especially the rural folk, that call it<br />
home.<br />
Although Peter Miller was born in New<br />
York City and refers to himself as a flatlander,<br />
he understands something important and<br />
innate about Vermont natives: a vital part of<br />
their culture is the depth behind the ordinariness<br />
of their words. <strong>The</strong> example he uses is<br />
that a farmer won’t tell you that their land is<br />
beautiful. Instead, he or she may say “you<br />
oughta be up here in the springtime, when the<br />
red maples are coming out because it looks<br />
just like the fall.”<br />
In 1947, when Peter was fourteen or fifteen,<br />
he and his family moved to Vermont. His<br />
father was an alcoholic and there was no<br />
money. Vermont was the cheapest place to<br />
live. And he loved it. He could fish and hunt.<br />
He loved the mountains. <strong>The</strong>re were a lot of<br />
hillside farmers around. He smiles, as he<br />
remembers.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y didn’t talk down to you, they talked<br />
directly to you. I liked them a lot.”<br />
Now, in what seems like a gift back to those<br />
people and those places, Miller talks directly<br />
back. His latest book, Vanishing Vermonters,<br />
Loss of a Rural Culture, is a collection of<br />
photographs and interviews with rural<br />
Vermonters. In its pages are stories that,<br />
although hopeful, are also truthful: many of<br />
his subjects had to reinvent themselves to<br />
continue living here; many had to adapt to<br />
changes both in their industries and throughout<br />
Vermont’s geography.<br />
Miller starts his book with the story of<br />
Romaine Tenney. According to Miller’s book,<br />
Tenney was born in 1900 on a family farm in<br />
Ascutney, Vermont. He continued the family<br />
tradition, and milked his twenty-five cows by<br />
hand. He did not have electricity. He loved his<br />
farm, his animals, and his community.<br />
In 1964, because his property was in the<br />
way of the new interstate 91, the government<br />
offered to pay him $<strong>13</strong>,600. When he refused,<br />
they took it through eminent domain.<br />
According to the text, “on Friday, September<br />
11, the sheriff came with a court order and he<br />
and his deputies began moving items from the<br />
horse barn, including the sleigh Romaine<br />
loved to polish. After midnight, Romaine let<br />
out the animals, barricaded the door and set<br />
fire to all the buildings. He climbed into bed<br />
with his lever-action rifle.”<br />
Miller appears, for just a brief moment,<br />
emotional, when he talks about Tenney. He<br />
believes that the story of Romaine Tenney<br />
represents the ending of an era, and in a way,<br />
of Vermont’s rural culture. His book aims to<br />
document what culture remains, and the people<br />
who are continuing it. And photography is<br />
a powerful medium within which to do that.<br />
When Miller composes a photograph, he is<br />
looking for a story.<br />
“I don’t just start taking pics. I don’t have a<br />
camera around my neck and just click click<br />
click.”<br />
Miller will sit in the kitchen or outside and<br />
talk with his subjects first. He likes to see how<br />
a conversation will evolve. And he likes to<br />
observe what is around him. <strong>The</strong>n he will try<br />
to find a simple situation that relates to his<br />
subjects.<br />
“Find a place that looks decent for a photograph<br />
then take it. Set up the cam, and say, ‘do<br />
you mind if I take a pic? And they say nope.’<br />
So I stands next to cam, and it has a remote,<br />
and I look at them they look at me and they<br />
talk. Otherwise, if they just look at the camera,<br />
like with new digital cameras, they get<br />
bored and their eyes glaze over. Which is terrible.”<br />
One example he uses is a photo he took of<br />
Fred Tuttle. In it, Tuttle is holding a photograph<br />
of his father, who is holding a photograph<br />
of his father. Miller got the idea when<br />
he was sitting at Tuttle’s kitchen table and he<br />
say the photo of Tuttle’s father holding the<br />
photograph on the wall. On his way home,<br />
Miller thought that if he could get Tuttle to<br />
hold that photo, it would make for an interesting<br />
picture, and, with three generations presented,<br />
it did. It worked, because, as Miller<br />
said, “it’s peculiar.”<br />
Miller sighs as he explains, “I’d like to give<br />
my archive to someone in Vermont before I<br />
drop off... but it’s hard to do.”<br />
Make the Season Brighter for Homeless Animals<br />

Society would like to thank<br />
all of the kind, generous<br />
people who have done so<br />
much to help homeless animals<br />

Vermont.<br />

ways to make the season<br />
brighter for homeless animals.<br />

activities including visiting<br />
with Santa. You can brighten<br />

animals by bringing donations from the wish<br />
list or monetary support to continue to provide<br />
life-saving medical treatment for these<br />
needy animals.<br />

many animals by making a<br />
monetary gift to this year’s<br />
Holiday Fund Drive by Dec.<br />

card or provide you with an<br />
attractive note that you can<br />

specific animal who’s awaiting adoption or<br />
make a donation to help all the animals at the<br />
shelter.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 35th Annual Santa Project that brings new<br />

was a big success thanks to extra help this<br />
year from the Barre Rotary Club and Central<br />
Vermont Young Professional, event organizers<br />
Kay Santamore and Ruth Weeks reported. This<br />
project is coordinated by the Central Vermont<br />
Rotary Club, the Salvation Army of Barre and<br />

Central Vermont Council on Aging<br />
Seeks Shoebox Gifts & Volunteers<br />
for Holiday Season<br />
On Christmas Day, Central Vermont Council on Aging<br />
(CVCOA) partners with dozens of community volunteers and<br />
local businesses to prepare and deliver hot, holiday meals and<br />
“shoebox” gifts to elder Vermonters. Many of these folks live<br />
alone, without family or friends to share in the holiday. For<br />
many isolated elder Vermonters, having a visitor bring them a<br />
holiday meal and gift is the highlight of their day.<br />
CVCOA is asking community members, including companies<br />
and churches, to donate cash and/or new gift items to<br />
support this event. A $25 donation will pay for 5 hot turkey<br />
dinners or 5 gifts. We also need donations of new gift items in<br />
shoeboxes. Gift items should be suitable for any adult regardless<br />
of gender. Warm gloves and hats, socks, slippers, toiletries;<br />
note pads, pens and stamps; gift cards; flashlights and<br />
batteries; pot holders, kitchen towels, and mugs will be<br />
accepted.<br />
You may deliver your gift to Central Vermont Council on<br />
Aging offices, located at 59 N. Main Street, 2nd Floor, Barre,<br />
VT 05641, from 8:30am-4:30pm, by December 15. Central<br />
VT Council on Aging staff and volunteers will gift wrap.<br />
Pickup can be arranged for groups with multiple boxes. If you<br />
are unable to fill a box but would like to donate individual<br />
items, we would be happy accept individual items to add to<br />
boxes we assemble. We also have many roles for volunteers,<br />
including delivering hot meals and shoebox gifts, gift wrapping,<br />
or providing administrative support.<br />
We also need volunteers to help staff to set up, coordinate<br />
deliveries, and clean up on the day of the event. To volunteer<br />
go to www.cvcoa.org/volunteer.<br />
Central Vermont Council on Aging welcomes financial<br />
donations designated for this holiday event, or for our many<br />
services for aging persons. Contributions can be mailed to the<br />
above address, or made online at www.cvcoa.org/donate. For<br />
further information, to arrange a pick-up of group gift shoeboxes,<br />
or to volunteer please contact us at (802)479-0531.<br />
Central Vermont Council on Aging thanks all of our community<br />
partners who come together every year in support of<br />
this holiday giving event for aging Central Vermonters. Thank<br />
you for remembering elder Vermonters in your community!<br />

Marlene Murray of Robar Road, Graniteville area, enjoyed being in her garden this year. She too won<br />
the Granite Center Garden Club certificate award.<br />
Granite Center Garden Club Presents Awards<br />
Each year, the Granite Center Garden Club<br />
presents awards to homes in the Barre area for<br />
attractive floral gardens. This year, two women<br />
gardeners from the Graniteville area have<br />
each won a civic recognition award from<br />
Granite Center Garden Club for their outstanding<br />
floral gardens. <strong>The</strong> winners for this<br />
year are Lee Larson of Upper Graniteville and<br />
Marlene Murray from Robar Road.<br />
Lee began landscaping her yard thirty years<br />
ago. She has always enjoyed growing flowers.<br />
Her gardens have multiplied and she has spent<br />
many tireless hours planting, watering, weeding<br />
and moving her plants around to give<br />
them a better location for growth and beauty.<br />
During the spring, colorful daffodils and<br />
tulips abound her property as well as other<br />
early blooming plants. In summertime, she<br />
cares for many Asiatic lilies, groupings of<br />
three colors of bee balm, sixty varieties of day<br />
lilies, seventy selections of garden phlox,<br />
ground covers, lupines, sedums, and numerous<br />
other perennials.<br />
Garden statuary has been added in recent<br />
years to her gardens. Now, Lee has made a<br />
few pieces of statuary herself, plus a large<br />
twelve foot arch and a few toad houses.<br />
Marlene began gardening thirteen years ago<br />
after the death of her husband. Her sister-inlaw<br />
would help her plan road trips which<br />
would take them through Vermont towns and<br />
Lee Larson of Graniteville Road stands surrounded<br />
by her autumn blooming plants. She is a<br />
recipient of a civic recognition award from the<br />
Granite Center Garden Club.<br />
they would stop at garden centers to purchase<br />
perennials and shrubs. Now, the hillside below<br />
her home consists of many vignettes of blooming,<br />
healthy flower placed “just so” to enhance<br />
display.<br />
Among her favorite flowers are azaleas,<br />
hibiscus, and all hosta plants. Buddha sits<br />
with flowers as well as statuary.<br />
Both Lee and Marlene are enthusiastic<br />
about their gardening and speak with job<br />
when talking about their gardens. <strong>The</strong>y will<br />
bring out their floral books and catalogues this<br />
coming January and each will dream and plan<br />
for next summer’s display.<br />
Home Share Now Selected for National Award<br />
Barre-based nonprofit Home Share Now is<br />
one of six organizations across North America<br />
selected by the National Association for<br />
Community Mediation (NAFCM) and the<br />
JAMS Foundation to participate in their<br />
Community Mediation Grant Program. “We<br />
are honored for the opportunity to bring<br />
affordable community mediation to central<br />
Vermonters, something that is hard to come<br />
by outside of the legal system,” says Home<br />
Share Now’s Executive Director, Christina<br />
Goodwin. “We have long-been proponents of<br />
conflict prevention, a cornerstone of our<br />
homesharing program, and this opportunity<br />
means we can help more aging adults navigate<br />
the complex world of aging.”<br />
Home Share Now will work with programs<br />
in California, Minnesota, Michigan, Ottawa,<br />
and Tennessee. Home Share Now and its fellow<br />
grantees will be considering how to support<br />
strong relationships between aging adults<br />
and family members, caregivers, housemates,<br />
landlords, assisted living facilities, and healthcare<br />
providers, among others. <strong>The</strong> end-goal<br />
will be to inform the development of training,<br />
evidence-based strategies, policy, and research<br />
• • •<br />
at the national and international level so that<br />
more adults can participate in supportive and<br />
constructive decision-making regarding their<br />
care.<br />
With the cash award, Home Share Now<br />
intends to hone and expand their elder mediation<br />
program over the next two years. Since<br />
2005 Home Share Now has employed a<br />
mediator and since 2015 has been offering<br />
conflict resolution services to the public by<br />
way of partnerships with local housing organizations.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2015 pilot was in partnership<br />
with the Lamoille Housing Partnership (LHP)<br />
and SASH (Support and Services at Home);<br />
pilot funding was provided by the Oakland<br />
Foundation. Home Share Now’s staff mediator,<br />
Roni Coleman, says “I’ve been committed<br />
to providing community mediation in<br />
central Vermont for over ten years and this<br />
opportunity represents the next step. I look<br />
forward to offering this important service to<br />
our aging population and their support systems.”<br />

PAINT SYSTEM<br />
Will Increasing the Minimum Wage Solve the Problem?<br />
By William D. Moore Consequently, many businesses might respond<br />
<strong>The</strong> General to a $15.00 mandate by eliminating positions,<br />
Assembly will convene<br />
its 2018 Session in less<br />
than one month, and<br />
the business community<br />
is already concerned<br />
about the direction in<br />
which we may be headed.<br />
It is apparent that one of the priority bills in<br />
the new year will be to increase the minimum<br />
wage to $15.00 an hour. <strong>The</strong> Central Vermont<br />
Chamber of Commerce has joined many<br />
other pro-business/pro-growth groups to<br />
oppose this recommendation.<br />
In 2014, the business community agreed to<br />
a stepped increase in the minimum wage<br />
from $8.73 an hour, (nearly a dollar above the<br />
federal minimum) to $9.60 in 2016, $10.00 in<br />
20<strong>17</strong> and $10.50 in 2018. <strong>The</strong> agreement also<br />
called for indexing the minimum wage,<br />
beginning in 2019.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se increases were agreed to by all parties<br />
interested in workers’ wages and enacted<br />
by the General Assembly. One of the primary<br />
reasons for the agreement was to allow businesses<br />
to plan and prepare for increases and,<br />
by indexing increases annually, to avoid the<br />
constant battles over increasing the minimum<br />
wage.<br />
Minimum wage jobs are generally those at<br />
the entry level. <strong>The</strong>y are intended to be shortterm<br />
until the employee gains the necessary<br />
skills and experience to take on more responsibility.<br />
More experience and responsibility<br />
leads to better jobs which leads to increased<br />
wages. <strong>The</strong> minimum wage was not created<br />
to provide a permanent wage. <strong>The</strong> minimum<br />
wage was in fact created to ensure that workers<br />
cutting hours, and looking for new ways to<br />
implement labor-saving technology.”<br />
Such “labor-saving technology” is already<br />
available in the forms of self-check out counters<br />
and kiosks taking orders in restaurants.<br />
We are concerned about the upward pressure<br />
on wages that increasing the minimum<br />
wage will have on the cost of doing business<br />
in Vermont. We are concerned that simply<br />
increasing the minimum wage does not<br />
increase workers’ productivity. We are concerned<br />
that the increase will in fact negatively<br />
impact the productivity of current employees<br />
who do not see their own wages increase<br />
commensurate to the increase in the minimum<br />
wage.<br />
We are also concerned about the inflationary<br />
impact that increasing the minimum wage<br />
will have on the costs of goods and services<br />
sold in Vermont. Businesses will not absorb<br />
the increases and consumers will feel the<br />
burden of increased prices.<br />
Already, a significant study that has been<br />
conducted looking at all sectors of Seattle’s<br />
economy (where the minimum wage is $<strong>13</strong>.00<br />
per hour) is showing a huge negative impact<br />
on low-wage workers due to their working<br />
significantly fewer hours because of the<br />
increased minimum wage. <strong>The</strong> study found<br />
that for every percent increase in hourly<br />
wages, low-wage workers saw hours reduced<br />
by three percent. <strong>The</strong> result was a loss of<br />
roughly $<strong>12</strong>5 per month due to working<br />
fewer hours.<br />
Automatically increasing wages does not<br />
address the core issue. We need to be creating<br />
a workplace that is assured that productivity<br />
is commensurate to the increases in the mini-<br />
during <strong>The</strong> Great Depression were not mum wage. Education and training<br />
exploited.<br />
We believe that market forces should determine<br />
the minimum wage, not artificial<br />
increases imposed by the legislature. In fact,<br />
the market is already driving the wages<br />
earned by Vermont’s workers. In 2016, only<br />
10 percent of all Vermont workers earned less<br />
than $10.45 per hour, at a time when the<br />
minimum wage was $9.60 per hour.<br />
According to a 2016 study by the Heritage<br />
Foundation, “Starting wages of $15.00 per<br />
hour mean full-time employees must create at<br />
least $38,700 a year in value for their employers<br />
(including wages, employer payroll taxes,<br />
and Affordable Care Act mandated penalties).<br />
Such a high hurdle would make it much<br />
harder for less-experienced and less-skilled<br />
workers to find full-time jobs. Many of these<br />
workers are not yet productive enough to create<br />
that much value for their employers and<br />
businesses will not hire them at a loss.<br />
are the keys to success. We must be educating<br />
students to be prepared for the jobs of the<br />
twenty-first century. Training and re-training<br />
programs for incumbent workers and those<br />
re-entering the workforce must be geared<br />
towards today’s job requirements.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are good paying jobs going for the<br />
asking across Vermont today. Employers that<br />
I have spoken with tell me that those jobs are<br />
not being filled because the applicants are not<br />
meeting the necessary job requirements.<br />
Increasing the minimum wage to $15.00<br />
per hour is a lofty goal, but it does not solve<br />
the problem. Increasing the minimum wage<br />
can stifle job growth, and even limit employers’<br />
ability to create new jobs.<br />
Better education, the right training and retraining<br />
of the workforce for today’s and<br />
tomorrow’s jobs will help to ensure a minimum<br />
wage greater than $15.00 per hour.<br />

ago, when her mother, who had recently<br />
moved to Vermont, needed care at home after<br />
breaking her knee and, then, her hip.<br />
Ultimately, Mary’s mother received the support<br />
of CVHHH’s Hospice team after having<br />
a stroke. Mary’s mother was brought home,<br />
where she died surrounded by family and<br />

In her letter to Friends of CVHHH, which<br />
was mailed in November to over 4,000 individuals,<br />
Mary notes that almost everyone in<br />
the central Vermont community is touched in<br />
some way by CVHHH and is always appreciative.<br />
She concludes, “One thing hasn’t<br />
changed since I moved to Vermont 55 years<br />
ago and that’s the kindness, generosity, and<br />
tolerance of Vermonters. We are fortunate to<br />
live in a place where community is so vibrant<br />
and close-knit. CVHHH is an incredibly<br />
important resource that serves the whole<br />
community.”<br />

<strong>The</strong>se Spaulding High School students have received the Robert M. Burdett Memorial Award more than once!<br />
Spaulding High School Students Receive<br />
Robert M. Burdett Memorial Award<br />
Spaulding High School has a unique award: the Robert M.<br />
Burdett Memorial Award. While serving as assistant principal<br />
and principal of Spaulding High School, the late Mr. Bob<br />
Burdett was the champion of the unsung heroes within the<br />
student body. He believed that this core of earnest, hardworking<br />
students formed the backbone of Spaulding High School,<br />
and that they would become, in time, the nucleus of their<br />
communities and of our country.<br />
To be eligible for this award, students must demonstrate, at<br />
all times and in all activities, consistent behaviors indicative<br />
of respect, accountability, and effort. <strong>The</strong>se students, who, by<br />
their regular attendance, friendly demeanor, cooperative<br />
behavior, and earnest desire to do their best, contribute to the<br />
positive atmosphere of the school. <strong>The</strong>y are then recognized<br />
at a quarterly Principal’s Breakfast.<br />
Spaulding High School is proud to announce that the following<br />
students are the recipients of the Robert Burdett Award<br />
for the first quarter of this year:<br />

Bryan Memorial Gallery, in<br />
cooperation with Goodspeed<br />
and Bach Travel, presents a day<br />
trip to the Peabody Essex<br />
Museum in Salem Massachusetts<br />
for a traveling exhibit of art,<br />
photographs and fashion by and<br />
about the legendary painter,<br />
Georgia O’Keeffe (1887 –<br />
1986) titled Georgia O’Keeffe:<br />
Art, Image, Style.<br />
Leaving from four locations<br />
in Vermont (Burlington,<br />
Jeffersonville, Montpelier, and White River Junction) on<br />
Tuesday, March 27, the bus will depart in the morning, with<br />
Bryan Gallery Executive Director Mickey Myers providing<br />
an orientation to O’Keeffe’s artwork on route. Upon arrival in<br />
Salem, Massachusetts, lunch will be served at the iconic<br />
Hawthorne Hotel, after which travelers will walk over to the<br />
Peabody Essex Museum.<br />
Private guides will lead the participants through the exhibition,<br />
the first exhibition to explore the art, image and personal<br />
style of one of America’s most iconic artists. O’Keeffe’s<br />
understated and carefully designed garments, many never<br />
before exhibited, are presented alongside photographs of her,<br />
and paintings by her, illuminating O’Keeffe’s unified modernist<br />
aesthetic and distinctive self-styling.<br />
For more than 70 years, O’Keeffe shaped her public persona,<br />
defied labels and carved out a truly progressive, independent<br />
life in order to create her art. Her aesthetic legacy<br />
— compact masses, organic silhouettes, minimal ornamentation,<br />
and restrained color palettes — continues to capture the<br />
popular imagination and inspire leading designers and tastemakers<br />
of our day. Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, this<br />
multi-disciplinary exhibition is the first to focus on the relationship<br />
between O’Keeffe’s art and her personal style,<br />
including how she was captured on film by the outstanding<br />
photographers of her day (including Ansel Adams and<br />
O’Keeffe’s husband, Alfred Stiglitz.)<br />
<strong>The</strong>re will be time to explore the exhibition after the tour,<br />
and to visit other parts of the museum, including the Peabody<br />
Essex Museum’s famed Chinese House: Yin Yu Tang. <strong>The</strong><br />
return trip to Vermont will have participants home in the evening.<br />
Goodspeed and Bach Trip Director Deb Flanders will manage<br />
the trip which includes entrance to the Peabody Essex<br />
Museum, lunch at historic Hawthorne Hotel: appetizer,<br />
entrée, dessert and coffee; private guided tour of the exhibition;<br />
ticket entrance to the entire museum; tour host and tour<br />
manager, luxury motor coach transportation with departures<br />
from Burlington and Jeffersonville; gratuity for bus driver and<br />
trip manager.<br />
For those interested in giving this trip as a gift, Bryan<br />
Memorial Gallery has specifically designed gift certificates<br />
available. To register, go on line to www.bryangallery.org/<br />
events by February 1. Bryan Memorial Gallery is at 180 Main<br />
Street, Jeffersonville, VT., 802-644-5100.<br />
Vermont State Board of Education Adopts<br />
Updated Technology Standards for Students<br />
At its November meeting, the Vermont State Board of<br />
Education unanimously adopted the International Standards<br />
for Technology Education (ISTE) Standards for student learning.<br />
<strong>The</strong> adoption of this framework is aligned with the state’s<br />
Education Quality Standards (EQS). <strong>The</strong>se standards outline<br />
what Vermont students should know and be able to do with<br />
respect to information technology, and will guide and inform<br />
the work of our schools as they prepare students for college<br />
and careers that have been dramatically transformed by information<br />
technology.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se new and updated ISTE standards replace outdated<br />
standards, and will help bring our education in line with innovations<br />
and best practice in use of information technologies in<br />
schools.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> State Board of Education has been updating our<br />
adopted standards to be more in line with the requirements of<br />
proficiency-based graduation,” said State Board of Education<br />
Chair Krista Huling. “<strong>The</strong> ISTE student standards will help<br />
assist all educators in the goal of how to deliver and assess<br />
progress through various academic areas. <strong>The</strong>se standards<br />
also strengthen Vermont’s commitment to citizenship in the<br />
digital age at a time when civic engagement at all levels are<br />
key to strengthening our democracy.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> ISTE Standards are in line with Vermont’s longstanding<br />
emphasis on not just learning skills, but preparing students<br />
to apply those skills in novel and purposeful ways.<br />
Vermont has long been committed to providing its students<br />
with the most current innovations in technology and practices<br />
regarding classroom and school level technology use.<br />
“In a 21st Century information economy, what will matter<br />
most is what students can do with what they know,” said<br />
Secretary of Education Rebecca Holcombe. In their emphasis<br />
on student-directed learning and student application of information<br />
technology skills, the new ISTE standards will support<br />
the efforts of educators to ensure learning is a student-driven<br />
• • •<br />
• • •<br />
process.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ISTE student standards focus on areas that will help<br />
prepare today’s learners for the evolving technological landscape<br />
including teaching digital citizenship, understanding<br />
how to be a computational thinker and using digital tools to<br />
collaborate with others locally and globally.<br />
Educators across the state understand how the broader concepts<br />
around the ISTE student technology standards can be<br />
taught in the classroom, as well as the real-world implications<br />
that help prepare students. For example, in light of the recent<br />
natural disasters and the refugee crisis, Brattleboro Area<br />
Middle School students worked with a local architecture and<br />
engineering firm on a project that challenged students to consider<br />
how they would design safe and sustainable shelters for<br />
displaced families to live. Students used the design thinking<br />
process to imagine, plan and create their projects to address<br />
issues such as flooding, access to safe drinking water, excessive<br />
heat and safety.<br />
“Our schools have been working hard to ensure all our<br />
students have access not just to technology, but to how technology<br />
is used in careers and post-secondary education.<br />
Success in the 21st Century will require our students to negotiate<br />
not just the physical world, but a digital world. <strong>The</strong> ISTE<br />
Standards provide a road map our educators can use to prepare<br />
our children for that world.” Secretary Holcombe said.<br />
“This is particularly important in some of our more rural<br />
areas, where the future of our communities may depend on<br />
digital access to support economic development.”<br />
Vermont is one of several states and school districts to formalize<br />
use of the ISTE Standards including the states of<br />
Connecticut and Texas, and Los Angeles Unified School<br />
District. Many others are currently working on adoption and<br />
are expected to endorse or adopt the ISTE Standards in the<br />
coming months.<br />

Douglas E. Hull<br />
Doug Hull passed on<br />
November 18th from complications<br />
with cancer and a life long<br />
struggle with diabetes. He died<br />
peacefully with his life partner and<br />
love, Catherine M. Reed, at his side,<br />
and after saying farewell to many of<br />
his close friends. Born in Windsor<br />
Vermont, he grew up the son of<br />
Douglas H. Hull and Hilda Jock. His<br />
early years were marked with just<br />
enough deprivation to instill in him<br />
an indomitable work ethic and<br />
resourceful spirit that would serve<br />
him well throughout his life. To list<br />
just a few significant markers in his<br />
life: Being a ROTC officer from<br />
Northeastern University in Boston,<br />
Massachusetts during Vietnam, he<br />
served in the 41st signal Battalion during 1965 and<br />
1966. Never conflicted about the war or his role, he<br />
always possessed a quiet but fierce patriotism that was<br />
never jingoistic. His patriotism was only matched by<br />
his interest in trying to talk with and meet the other,<br />
even if they had no common language. Both his children<br />
can remember standing to one side, a bit embarrassed<br />
as he carried on a jovial and largely one way<br />
conversation with some shopkeeper or passer-by in<br />
whatever country he was in. Passing the CPA exam on<br />
the first try, he started his own practice in 1973. He<br />
didn’t care too much about numbers -- the people he<br />
was able and meet and talk to about their lives was the<br />
real motivation. If people needed his help but couldn’t<br />
pay, there was always other accommodations. He often<br />
joked that he was happy to do taxes for friends in return<br />
for a nice dinner and good company. He and Cathy<br />
adopted 3 children, Kim died in infancy, but Lyn Soon<br />
and Yang grew and now live in North Carolina and<br />
Illinois, respectively. He and Cathy also hosted Gii<br />
Sirmaskasem Grimes, an exchange student from<br />
Thailand. She still calls him Dad, and lives and works<br />
in Tokyo for the US State department. His family is<br />
also survived by his brother Stephen Hull of South<br />
Royalton. Doug also made it to Grandfather hood with<br />
the arrival of WooJoo, Yang’s child, adopted from<br />
Korea, just as Yang was 41 years earlier. He found this<br />
new status deeply enjoyable and satisfying, constantly<br />
amazed at how much energy a 3-year-old can muster.<br />
Always a prolific writer, Doug filled his retirement<br />
writing two books, drafts of others, and innumerable<br />
letters. He also edited and assisted other writing projects<br />
like the history of Worcester, VT, written by J.<br />
David Book. Throughout everything, he travelled alongside<br />
Cathy. <strong>The</strong>y just made it past the 50 year mark this<br />

<strong>The</strong> family of BARB AICHER<br />
ROULEAU is honored to have<br />
shared our lives with one of the<br />
most amazing and accomplished<br />
members of our community.<br />
Barb entered the field of nursing<br />
at the University of Vermont and<br />
in 1990, obtained her B.S. in nursing and<br />
health education. While working as a critical<br />
care nurse in Boston, and Saratoga, she continued<br />
her studies and obtained a master’s in<br />
nursing education from Sage Graduate School.<br />
She applied her clinical experience to IDX<br />
Systems’ first online patient record. When<br />
UVM created their first certificate program<br />
for nurse practitioners, she jumped at the<br />
opportunity and re-entered the clinical world.<br />
After providing care to our community, she<br />
was again asked to re-enter the world of<br />
health care software; this time the focus was<br />
on preventive health. Barb was one of the first<br />
two to graduate and earn the title of Doctor of<br />
Nursing Practice. Working closely with her<br />
peers in the UVM College of Nursing, her<br />
vision and purpose became more defined. She<br />
then became an assistant professor and joined<br />
a team of dedicated nurse practitioners that<br />
would capture national interest and admiration<br />
as they created the first university-owned<br />
family practice with a mission to teach while<br />
providing care. Constantly leading by example,<br />
she taught advanced nursing classes while<br />
managing a full patient load. She shaped the<br />
school nursing position at Christ <strong>The</strong> King<br />
School, served on the Green Mountain Health<br />
Care Board, volunteered for her children’s<br />
soccer programs and Rice Stunt Night. <strong>The</strong><br />
greatest source of pride for Barb has always<br />
been her family; husband Ray and children<br />
Christian, Evan and Ali.<br />

Vermont’s Fair & Impartial Policing<br />
Policy Needs to Uphold the Values<br />
and Laws that Protect ALL People<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
As members of the central Vermont chapter of Showing Up<br />
for Racial Justice, we want to state boldly that Act 54 and its<br />
provision to revisit the details of Vermont’s Fair and Impartial<br />
Policing Policy needs to uphold the values and laws that protect<br />
ALL people who come in contact with the criminal justice<br />
system, regardless of race or immigration status. So far,<br />
the collaborative process with the Vermont Criminal Justice<br />
Training Council between stakeholders and policy writers has<br />
had some good results — protections of privacy and mandates<br />
for training and accountability, to name a few.<br />
BUT, still there is more we need to do to assure things like<br />
the open sharing of information about immigration status is<br />
not permitted. Why? Because the result will be appeals to<br />
racial profiling, harassment of new Americans, and ineffective<br />
policing where victims and witnesses who are not protected<br />
from deportation simply will not come forward.<br />
Immigration and customs officials should not have access to<br />
persons held in state jails, nor folks in witness protection.<br />
And racial profiling of any type should not be practiced.<br />
Sign the petition calling on the Criminal Justice Training<br />
Council to approve the version of the Fair and Impartial<br />
Policing Policy (FIPP) that stakeholders and community<br />
members are calling for before their meeting on December<br />
<strong>12</strong>th. To access the petition online, visit racialjusticereformomnibusbillvt.wordpress.com/.<br />
All Vermonters, regardless of race or immigration status,<br />
deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Victoria Pearson & Claire Wheeler<br />

Join Us on National Wreaths Across<br />
America Day<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
Fellow residents of Bennington and the surrounding area,<br />
we are asking you to Join us on National Wreaths Across<br />
America Day; December 16 at <strong>12</strong>00 at the Vermont Veterans’<br />
Home on 325 North Street in Bennington. Each December on<br />
National Wreaths Across America Day, the mission to<br />
Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating<br />
wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as<br />
well as over 1,100 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at<br />
sea, and abroad. We at the Vermont Veterans’ Home are honored<br />
to participate in this national event as one of the locations.<br />
Last year the day was cold, windy, and snowing, yet as<br />
hardy Vermonters, you attended and participated in honoring<br />
those who had served our great nation. Observing all who<br />
were present lay a wreath, call out the Veteran’s name, and<br />
salute each time was a memory I shall always carry with<br />
me.<br />
If you are a leader of a youth organization, please consider<br />
attending this event with your group. This is a tremendous<br />
opportunity to Remember, Honor, and Teach about our heritage<br />
and heroes. <strong>The</strong>se graves contain warriors from the<br />
Civil War to current conflicts. Our earliest interments contain<br />
warriors who marched south into the unknown so that others<br />
may be free.<br />
Please bring family and friends to participate in this year’s<br />
event. It is vitally important for our children to understand<br />
and honor our departed Veterans on this day. <strong>The</strong> Ceremony<br />
itself is short, but meaningful. Its purpose is not to “decorate<br />
graves”, but to commemorate their sacrifice and dedication to<br />
these United States and to the cause of Freedom.<br />
Looking forward to seeing you there!<br />
Semper Fidelis<br />

Guest Opinion:<br />
We Must Unite Against Abuse<br />
By Lt. Governor David Zuckerman<br />
Public revelations of sexual assault and misconduct<br />
against women and children, such as those making<br />
headlines over the few months, are deeply disturbing.<br />
How can anyone think such actions are okay? My hope is that<br />
we are leaving behind a time of impunity for abusers, who<br />
believed their actions would never be reported or given<br />
proper consideration.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se assaults have torn the fabric of our society, robbed<br />
many of their dignity and human potential, and left members<br />
of our community broken and suffering in silence. As a society,<br />
we have accepted a slippery slope of insulting speech and<br />
behavior, especially toward women, thus encouraging and<br />
abetting sexual bullying, harassment and assault. Unless we<br />
acknowledge the depth of the problem and massive social<br />
wrongdoing, we won’t move forward.<br />
As a husband and father, I shudder at the experiences my<br />
wife has had, and those my daughter may experience. Our<br />
society can and must do better.<br />
I honor and support the thousands of women who have<br />
bravely raised awareness about the pervasiveness of assault<br />
and abuse by coming forward publicly and/or with the<br />
#MeToo. Responsibility for these horrific acts lies squarely<br />
on the shoulders of the abusers, not the victims. <strong>The</strong> perpetrators<br />
must admit their guilt, apologize and - to the fullest extent<br />
of the law - face the consequences. <strong>The</strong> rest of us, who<br />
actively or passively turned a blind eye, can no longer remain<br />
silent or inactive. Together we must create a world where<br />
everyone is safe and free from victimization and abuse. Let’s<br />
build a society where all people are treated fairly, with respect<br />
and dignity.<br />
Women should be trusted, listened to, and respected as<br />
equals. Unfortunately, there are many areas where they are<br />
not equal in our society. In Vermont, women earn 84 cents for<br />
Netflix Original, Jim and Andy:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Great Beyond<br />
HHHH<br />
every dollar earned by their male counterpart and 43% of<br />
women working full-time do not make enough to cover their<br />
basic living expenses. Raising the minimum wage to $15/hour<br />
would dramatically impact women since they tend to be more<br />
highly concentrated in lower-wage jobs. Imagine being<br />
abused at work but staying for fear of losing health benefits<br />
for yourself and your family; a universal health care system<br />
would address this by allowing employees mobility. Continued<br />
investments in quality affordable housing means more options<br />
for those who need to relocate to distance themselves from<br />
abusive relationships. Innovative and progressive legislation<br />
can go a long way in eliminating the prevalence of power<br />
dynamics that enable abuse to occur. This is yet one more<br />
reason why we must continue the fight for equal pay, universal<br />
healthcare, affordable housing and childcare, and other<br />
aspects of economic justice.<br />
We cannot pretend Vermont is free from discrimination or<br />
abuse. We must have honest and open dialogue about these<br />
issues. As a Senator, I served on the Sexual Harassment Panel.<br />
I worked to clarify rules and procedures, to ensure any harassment<br />
allegations were address quickly and efficiently, while<br />
ensuring due process and appropriate punishment for perpetrators.<br />
As President of the Senate I will ensure decorum and<br />
respect prevail in the Senate Chamber. I will not tolerate any<br />
inappropriate actions or remarks between Senators, from the<br />
press, lobbyists, or visitors. I will encourage lively discourse,<br />
proper consideration of different perspectives, and fact-based<br />
arguments. All elected officials serve at the will of the people<br />
and I believe we should do justice to this honor. You should<br />
be watchful and hold us to the highest standards. Our discourse<br />
and the laws emanating from our Chamber set the tone<br />
for what we want our society to be.<br />
When I watch something where an actor is playing<br />
an insane character, I wonder to myself: is the actor<br />
truly crazy? Did he start off sane and lose his<br />
mind for the role?<br />
<strong>The</strong> craziest TV character I can think of is Claire Danes’s<br />
Carrie Mathison in “Homeland.” When she’s not completely<br />
devoted to her dangerous job, she goes home and becomes<br />
an immediate danger to herself with booze and pills.<br />
It is possible that Claire Danes is simply a terrific actress<br />
who can turn it on and off at will. But I’ll bet no one who<br />
watched “Homeland” has ever taken a chance and allowed<br />
Ms. Danes to babysit their children.<br />
When it comes to entertainers acting insane, Andy Kaufman<br />
is the all-time champion. Kaufman became a celebrity<br />
in the late 70s with his goofy appearances on Saturday<br />
Night Live and his lovable immigrant character on the sitcom<br />
“Taxi.”<br />
For his own artistic vision and amusement, Andy Kaufman<br />
decided to take the love America had for him and turn<br />
it into hate.<br />
When he would appear on a talk show, Kaufman would<br />
come out wearing a one-piece wresting unitard. He would<br />
stand in the middle of a makeshift wresting ring and go on<br />
a chauvinist rant. Finally, a woman in the audience would<br />
become so furious that she was eager to wrestle him.<br />
Andy Kaufman would pin the woman, dance around<br />
proudly, hold a golden belt above his head, and gloat that he<br />
was the <strong>World</strong> Intergender Wrestling Champion.<br />
Was he a brave performance artist or was he actually insane?<br />
No one knows. But I assure you no one ever allowed<br />
Mr. Kaufman to babysit their children.<br />
Most people found Andy Kaufman’s antics weird and<br />
troubling. Jim Carrey thought he was amazing.<br />
In 1999, at the height of his popularity, Carrey successfully<br />
lobbied to win the role of Andy Kaufman in the biopic<br />
“Man in the Moon.”<br />
And Jim Carrey didn’t play Andy Kaufman, he became<br />
him. For four months, Carrey remained in character, day<br />
and night. Half of the documentary “Jim and Andy” shows<br />
us behind the scenes video of Jim Carrey - as Andy Kaufman<br />
- causing mischief and making life uncomfortable for<br />
everyone around him.<br />
But the star of this film isn’t crazy 1999 Jim Carrey: it’s<br />
super crazy 20<strong>17</strong> Jim Carrey.<br />
Bearded, haggard, and soft-spoken, Jim Carrey looks<br />
and sounds like a homeless New Age poet.<br />
Sometimes he’s smart, sometimes he’s wise, often he’s<br />
off in space. It’s as if he’s having a conversation at the psychiatrist’s<br />
office but he wrongly thinks he’s the doctor.<br />
Carrey describes the liberating experience of getting to<br />
live outside himself and be a jerk for a whole summer. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
he describes the horror and confusion of leaving the character<br />
and not remembering who Jim Carrey is.<br />
“Jim and Andy” powerfully underscores the message<br />
that becoming a celebrity is a terrible disaster for your identity,<br />
self-worth, and happiness.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no way of knowing whether becoming a Method<br />
Actor and being Andy Kaufman broke Jim Carrey’s brain<br />
or if he was messed up already.<br />
All I know is no one is hiring Jim Carrey to babysit their<br />
kids. Man, I wouldn’t even trust him to come over and feed<br />
my cats for a weekend.<br />

Health Officials: <strong>The</strong> Time to Get Your Flu Shot is Now<br />
Vermont health officials say we may be in for a rough flu<br />
season, and are advising people to get their flu shot to protect<br />
both themselves as well as others, such as children too young<br />
to be vaccinated.<br />
“Especially now, during the holiday season of crowds and<br />
gatherings of friends and family, everyone older than 6<br />
months should get a flu shot,” said Vermont Health<br />
Commissioner Mark Levine, MD. “Flu viruses are notoriously<br />
unpredictable, but from the information I’ve received,<br />
all indications point to a possibly severe flu season in<br />
Vermont.”<br />
Flu is already widespread in several states. According to the<br />
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, several strains of<br />
influenza virus are in circulation. <strong>The</strong> dominant flu virus<br />
strain is H3N2, which can result in more severe illnesses than<br />
other strains. While this year’s vaccine works well against<br />
many of the flu virus strains out there, recent studies indicate<br />
the vaccine is less effective against the H3N2 strain. Health<br />
officials stress that an annual flu shot can still help lessen the<br />
severity of illness, and for people at high risk of complications<br />
from flu, it can be a life saver. Those at high-risk include:<br />
pregnant women, young children, adults 50 years and older,<br />
and people with chronic health conditions.<br />
For older adults – especially those with chronic respiratory<br />
conditions – complications from flu often lead to a sharp<br />
increase in hospitalizations and potentially serious illness,<br />
including pneumonia and bronchitis. Such infections can dramatically<br />
increase the risk of heart attack and stroke for<br />
months after the illness has cleared.<br />
“Human immune defenses become weaker with age, which<br />
places older people at greater risk of severe illness,” explained<br />
Dr. Levine. He encourages people age 65 and older to talk<br />
with their doctor about getting one of the vaccines designed to<br />
give older people a better immune response, and therefore,<br />
better protection against flu.<br />
Blood Donation Opportunities<br />
<strong>The</strong> best gifts can’t be bought in a store. <strong>The</strong> American Red<br />
Cross urges eligible donors to give more life by giving blood<br />
this December.<br />
Alison Wissen knows the power of blood donations. She<br />
received 22 units of blood products after experiencing complications<br />
during childbirth. “I truly owe my life to blood<br />
donors,” she said. “Even the skilled hands of my surgeons<br />
could not have saved me without the blood.” Because of<br />
blood and platelet donors, Wissen will celebrate the holidays<br />
with her three children and husband.<br />
In December, donations decline but the needs of patients<br />
remain steady. During the holiday season, set aside an hour to<br />
give the most important gift – give blood and give more life.<br />
To encourage donations, all those who come to give blood or<br />
platelets Dec. 21, 20<strong>17</strong>, through Jan. 7, 2018, will receive a<br />
long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.<br />
Make an appointment to give blood by downloading the<br />
free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org<br />
or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).<br />

How to donate blood<br />
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor<br />
App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS<br />
(1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information.<br />
All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply<br />
for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two<br />
other forms of identification are required at check-in.<br />
Individuals who are <strong>17</strong> years of age in most states (16 with<br />
parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least<br />
110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible<br />
to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18<br />
years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and<br />
weight requirements.<br />
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation<br />
by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation<br />
reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of<br />
their donation, from a computer or mobile device. To get<br />
started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and<br />
follow the instructions on the site.<br />

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont<br />
Reminds Vermonters of Its High-Ranking<br />
Medicare Part D Drug Plan<br />
BCBSVT, in a joint venture with three<br />
other New England Blue plans, contracts with<br />
the federal government to offer prescription<br />
drug coverage, called Blue MedicareRxSM<br />
(PDP). Earlier this fall, the company reported<br />
that Blue MedicareRx (PDP) is the only individual<br />
prescription drug plan (PDP) in<br />
Vermont, and greater New England, to<br />
achieve a five-star rating[i] for 2018 from the<br />
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services<br />
(CMS). <strong>The</strong> five-star rating means the highest<br />
possible ranking for quality, access and member<br />
satisfaction. (See disclaimer 1.)<br />
BCBSVT is excited to share that its Blue<br />
MedicareRx Part D program received further<br />
recognition as one of the Best Medicare Plans<br />
for 2018 by U.S. News & <strong>World</strong> Report.<br />
“We’re honored to have been named one of<br />
the best Medicare plans for 2018. In addition<br />

“<strong>The</strong> absolute best thing you can do to prevent illness, hospitalizations<br />
and even death from flu complications, is to get<br />
your flu shot,” said Dr. Levine. “Even if it’s not a perfect<br />
match, it’s very important, not just for yourself, but also to<br />
protect those with whom you may come in contact – including<br />
babies too young to get vaccinated and people who have<br />
weakened immune systems. It is not an understatement to say<br />
their lives may depend on you.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong> flu vaccine takes two weeks to become fully effective,”<br />
said Dr. Levine. “so now is the time to get yours.”<br />
Flu shots are available at more than 300 locations around<br />
Vermont. To find a location near you to get the flu vaccine, go<br />
to healthvermont.gov/flu or dial 2-1-1.<br />
and women and children’s health.<br />
“I love working with people of all ages, especially in family<br />
groups, to make them healthier and happier,” he said.<br />
“This includes educating and partnering with patients, and<br />
giving each person the time they need to achieve these<br />
goals.”<br />
When not working Dr. LoPresti enjoys gardening (last year<br />
he grew 14 different vegetables in his 35x 30 foot garden),<br />
reading, and traveling. This year his family travelled to<br />
Alaska, achieving their goal to visit all fifty states.<br />
He is now seeing patients five days a week at Gifford<br />
Primary Care. Call 728-2445 to schedule an appointment.<br />
to our achievement of being the only five-star<br />
individual prescription drug plan in Vermont,<br />
we believe this acknowledgement from the<br />
U.S. News & <strong>World</strong> Report further highlights<br />
the excellent coverage, access and overall<br />
experience that our plans offer,” says<br />
Catherine Hamilton, BCBSVT’s vice president<br />
of consumer services and planning.<br />
<strong>The</strong> U.S. News & <strong>World</strong> Report uses the<br />
government’s five-star plan ratings and<br />
applies a methodology averaging each company’s<br />
plans within a state and using a fivestar<br />
rating system. Companies averaging 4.5<br />
stars or higher are featured on their list.<br />
BCBSVT received a five-star ranking.<br />
[i] Medicare evaluates plans based on a<br />
5-star rating system. Star Ratings are calculated<br />
each year and may change from one<br />
year to the next.<br />
Fear of Santa<br />
Parents have asked me<br />
how to prevent their child<br />
fearing Santa when they<br />
visit him in the weeks<br />
ahead. Let me try to put the<br />
“ho, ho, hos” in those fearful<br />
“woe, woe, woes.”<br />
Let’s face it: to a small<br />
child, Santa Claus can be<br />
overwhelming. Maybe it’s<br />
his size, his booming voice,<br />
his gloves, his bright red suit and big white beard… It may<br />
be that he is simply a stranger. Sitting on a stranger’s lap<br />
is not something any child should be eager to do. So for a<br />
small child, visiting Santa can be quite scary.<br />
<strong>The</strong>refore the name of the game is to help your child<br />
overcome the fear with practice, practice, and more practice.<br />
First, ask your child to talk about why they are is afraid<br />
of Santa. Talk positively about Santa and the good things<br />
he does before you go to meet him. If you celebrate<br />
Christmas, have some Santa decorations up so your child<br />
can get used to what he looks like.<br />
Is your child is old enough to tell you what they want<br />
from Santa for Christmas? If so, that can give them something<br />
to talk about when they meet the big guy.<br />
A good idea is to have your child watch other children<br />
their age and size meet Santa. When your child sees those<br />
children smiling and enjoying their visit, your child may<br />
be ready to try as well. Another idea is for you to go first<br />
and get a picture with Santa. That may be all it takes.<br />
If your child is just not ready, don’t force it. Instead,<br />
respect your child’s fear, and acknowledge that it is hard<br />
to meet someone new. Reassure your child that they are<br />
safe around Santa. And remind them that you will be<br />
there, too.<br />
It’s not a good idea to do anything that would ruin the<br />
magic that is Santa at this young age. Even if you think it<br />
will make things easier in meeting him, hold back.<br />
If your child overcomes the fear and has a successful<br />
visit with Santa, praise them. If not, don’t add to the stress<br />
by criticizing them or denying that their fear exists.<br />
Hopefully tips like these will not be scary when it<br />
comes to helping your child not fear a visit with Santa.<br />

YOU MATTER MORE | SHOP LOCALLY<br />
Shop where you’re truly valued<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s one fi nal reason to spend your<br />
money locally: you matter more — a lot<br />
more — to local businesses than you do<br />
to those out-of-town stores.<br />
When you do your shopping closer to home, you’re not just buying<br />
stuff. You’re interacting with your friends, your neighbors and your<br />
co-workers — the very people who make up the fabric of your community.<br />
YOU’RE ALSO SOMETHING SPECIAL.<br />
By supporting local businesses, you’re not just a tiny number on a<br />
profit-and-loss sheet, but someone who plays an integral role in the<br />
success of your city and your local economy. Whatever you purchase<br />
locally, no matter how small, can make a big difference to momand-pop<br />
merchants who are trying to succeed in business, pay their<br />
employees and improve their community.<br />
DEALING WITH ‘THE BOSS’<br />
Instead of being ambushed by a pushy salesperson, the shopper at a<br />
small, local store is instead greeted by the jovial owner and sometimes<br />
by their friendly dog or cat, as well.<br />
<strong>The</strong> shopping experience itself can be a lot of fun. You get to<br />
interact more with the “boss” at small mom-and-pop shops, so you’re<br />
treated like a real person, rather than cattle herded through a chute.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y encourage the shopper to take their time and meander through<br />
the store. While they are in business to earn money, they generally<br />
will not pressure the shopper to buy a lot of extra stuff or try to force<br />
them to sign up for a store credit card.<br />
Local shops also frequently go that extra mile for their customers<br />
by doing things like gift wrapping and providing coffee or donuts at<br />
no additional charge.<br />
HOMETOWN FEELING<br />
Shopping in the local stores often provides an opportunity for<br />
people to run into old friends or neighbors that they have not seen<br />
in a while. <strong>The</strong>y can mingle on the streets and catch up on the local<br />
gossip. <strong>The</strong> store owners get to know their customers, as well. It is a<br />
family atmosphere.<br />
In other words, you’re not just a nameless customer. You matter.<br />
You’re someone from church, someone from the school PTA, or<br />
someone who works in the office down the street.<br />
To encourage shoppers to patronize the local stores, many towns<br />
will make street parking free and put on events that are sure to draw a<br />
crowd. It’s part of this unique feeling that makes shopping so enjoyable<br />
when you spend your time and money close to home.<br />

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!<br />
by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blaine (1944)<br />
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas,<br />
Let your heart be light,<br />
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight.<br />
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas,<br />
Make the Yuletide gay.<br />
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight.<br />
Once again as in olden days,<br />
Happy golden days of yore.<br />
Faithful friends who are near to us<br />
Will be dear to us once more.<br />
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!<br />
Some day soon we all will be together,<br />
If the fates allow,<br />
Until then we’ll have to muddle through somehow,<br />
And have yourself a Merry Little Christmas now!<br />
<strong>The</strong> Story Behind the Song<br />
Songwriters Hugh Martin and Ralph Blaine wrote the classic<br />
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!” for Judy<br />
Garland’s part in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s 1944 movie, Meet<br />
Me in St. Louis - a story about a young family struggling with<br />
the consequences having to move from Missouri to New York<br />
City.<br />
Hugh Martin explained that Have Yourself a Merry Little<br />
Christmas “began with the melody, a little spiritual-like tune<br />
that I liked but couldn’t make work, so I played with it for two<br />
or three days, then gave up and threw it in the wastebasket.”<br />
Fortunately, Hugh’s friend and fellow songwriter Ralph<br />
had also heard the tune and told Hugh it was too good to throw<br />
away. “We dug around the wastebasket and found it,“ Ralph<br />
recalled. “Thank the Lord we found it!.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> two were working on the music for Meet Me in St.<br />
Louis, a four season script, starring a young Judy Garland – set<br />
against the background of the 1904 St. Louis <strong>World</strong>’s Fair.<br />
With the melody saved, the two men started working on the<br />
words for Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, for the<br />
Christmas scene, however Judy found the first draft was too<br />
sad and asked for it to be revised..<br />
<strong>The</strong> MGM producer, Arthur Freed insisted, “No, no - it’s a<br />
sad scene, but we want sort of an upbeat song, which will<br />
make it even sadder if Judy’s smiling through her tears,” Hugh<br />
explained, we tried to meet a compromise, “then finished the<br />
lyrics you know from the movie.”<br />
Some of Hugh’s original lyrics, which had been more consistent<br />
with the movie’s plot of the family moving away, were<br />
mercifully lost to the revision as a result of Judy’s protests that<br />

Wed. & Thurs. at 6:35<br />
(Margarete O’Brien & Judy Garland – Meet Me in St. Louis - MGM, 1944)<br />
singing the original to her little sister Tootie, played by 7-year<br />
old Margarete O’Brien, would make her (Garland) “sound like<br />
a monster.” <strong>The</strong> original lyrics are said to have included:<br />
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,<br />
It may be your last,<br />
Next year we may all be living in the past.<br />
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,<br />
Pop that champagne cork,<br />
Next year we may all be living in New York.<br />
No good times like the olden days,<br />
Happy golden days of yore,<br />
Faithful friends who were dear to us,<br />
Will be near to us no more.<br />
But at least we all will be together,<br />
If the Lord allows,<br />
From now on, we’ll have to muddle through somehow,<br />
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.<br />
If the 1944 movie lyrics, in the first column, seem a little<br />
different from those you remember, it is probably because in<br />
1957; Frank Sinatra requested Hugh Martin to revise the song<br />
asking him if he “could jolly up that song a little for me ?”<br />
Hugh made several minor alterations, changing the song’s<br />
focus to a celebration of present happiness, rather than<br />
anticipation of better times ahead; and mercifully changing<br />
the line “Until then we’ll have to muddle through somehow”<br />
to “So hang a shining star upon the highest bough.” In later<br />
years, Judy Garland would perform the song using the revised<br />
lyrics.<br />
So now you know the story and the fact that if a young Judy<br />
Garland hadn’t been so persistent, the song would never have<br />
become one of our holiday traditions.<br />
“So Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Now!”<br />

LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE /<br />
Lose 20 pounds in one week?<br />
This is almost impossible!<br />
Weight loss ads must refl ect<br />
the typical experiences of the<br />
diet users. Beware of programs<br />
that claim you can lose<br />
weight effortlessly. TIP: Clues<br />
to fraudulent ads include<br />
words like: “breakthrough,”<br />
“effortless,” and “new discovery.”<br />
When you see words like<br />
these be skeptical. Before you<br />
invest your time and money<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are no “Quick Cures”<br />
— no matter what the ad is<br />

“amazing results,” or<br />
“scientifi c breakthrough.” For<br />

Smelling-Salt Bottle<br />
Smelling salts have been used to revive someone<br />
who is feeling faint or has lost consciousness since<br />
the days of the Romans. But it was not until the 18th<br />
century that smelling-salt holders became fashionable.<br />
Smelling salts (ammonium carbonate and<br />
water) release an ammonia gas that irritates the<br />
inside of the nose and causes rapid breathing. This<br />
means more oxygen is inhaled. Ammonia was made<br />
from shaved deer horns in ancient times and often<br />
was called “spirit of hartshorn.” Victorians often<br />
used perfume with the smelling salts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> smelling-salt holder was opened and waved<br />
near the nose of the troubled patient. Many of the<br />
bottles were curved. Some were made of decorated<br />
metal and worn as part of a necklace. Some just<br />
looked like small saltshakers. A 2 5/8-inch marbleized<br />
glass “shaker” made of light blue and milk<br />
glass with a threaded cap sold for $293 at a Norman<br />
Heckler sale in Connecticut. It probably was made<br />
in Boston about 1850.<br />

display in our church. I believe it has some value<br />
and should be protected, if only for the historic<br />
value of the Kaiser personally giving it to the<br />
church. I would appreciate any information you can<br />
give me about the Bible.<br />
A: Most old Bibles aren’t worth a lot of money, but<br />
Kaiser Wilhelm’s signature could make it very valuable.<br />
It would have to be seen by an expert to<br />
authenticate the signature. Wilhelm II (1859-1941)<br />
was Germany’s last Kaiser. He reigned from 1881<br />
to 1918, when he abdicated and left Germany. If the<br />
church is going to display the Bible publicly, you<br />
may want to get an idea of its value for insurance<br />
purposes. If the book has a leather cover, it should<br />
not be displayed on a wood surface unless the surface<br />
is covered by acid-free paper. Wood is acidic<br />
and can damage leather. <strong>The</strong> pages should not be<br />
left open and exposed to light or they will discolor.<br />
Special archival display cases are available that<br />
allow the book to remain open, but they are very<br />
pricey. If an autograph expert determines the book<br />
is not very valuable, it can be kept on display as<br />
long as it isn’t exposed to light for long periods of<br />
time.<br />

MOLLY<br />
Molly was found as a stray, and as soon as she<br />
realized she was safe and warm, she delivered<br />
a litter of puppies! She took wonderful care of<br />
her babies while in one of our foster homes, they<br />
have all been adopted, and now it's Molly's turn!<br />
She loves attention, hugs, and petting. She is eager<br />
to please, food motivated, walks well on a<br />
leash, and is house trained. In her foster home,<br />
she chased their cats and chickens, and was not<br />
happy about meeting other dogs, so she would<br />
probably do best as the only animal in the home.<br />
It would be great if she could have a fenced-in<br />
yard to keep her safe, and give her space to hang out. She feels comforted by<br />
having a crate or other spot where she can “nest.” She loves her walks, but is also<br />
happy sleeping by the fire. Mostly she just wants a family to love.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Best Gift You Can Give Your Pet<br />
DEAR PAW’S CORNER:<br />
I read your column about a<br />
person who did not vaccinate<br />
their house cats, and<br />
after one of them got out,<br />
lost all of them to feline<br />
leukemia. I can relate to<br />
this person. I only have<br />
one cat, and I thought, for<br />
a while, that I could get<br />
away without vaccinating<br />
her. Fortunately, a friend<br />
convinced me otherwise.<br />
It turns out that it doesn’t take much to protect my baby<br />
when she depends on me to take care of her. I’ve never<br />
gone without just to pay for “Racquel’s” vaccinations, and<br />
in turn, she is a healthy cat who brings so much companionship<br />
to my life. Please tell your readers not to skip this<br />
important annual appointment.<br />
-- Donna in Sioux Falls, South Dakota<br />
DEAR DONNA: You told them, and I thank you.<br />
Vaccinating indoor pets can seem like a pricey extravagance,<br />
but it pales in comparison to the cost of treating the<br />
diseases that they can contract if they’re not vaccinated.<br />
To reduce the annual cost, check around for discounted<br />
shot clinics. <strong>The</strong>se are usually held on specific dates and<br />
places -- pet supply stores, public buildings or participating<br />
veterinary clinics. However, these clinics often don’t<br />
advertise extensively due to costs, so you may need to<br />
search a bit. Contact your city or county government to see<br />
if any clinics are being held nearby, or stop in to major pet<br />
supply retailers like Petco, which often sponsor shot clinics.<br />
If not, their workers often know about pet health clinics<br />
nearby.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se clinics offer required vaccinations and licenses, and<br />
sometimes have microchipping and a basic health exam<br />
available at a low fixed price per pet.<br />

How to find great gifts for the family handyman<br />
For those people who don’t know a<br />
box cutter from a box saw, shopping<br />
for men and women who like to get<br />
their hands dirty around the house<br />
can be a diffi cult task. Home improvement<br />
projects are complex undertakings that often<br />
involve the use of complex tools, and novices<br />
may be lost in the proverbial woods as they<br />
look for gifts for their loved ones who can’t<br />
wait to swing hammers around the house.<br />
Though there’s always an element of risk when shopping<br />
for gifts for loved ones, the following hints might help shoppers<br />
with no knowledge of home improvement projects find<br />
gifts that will please their favorite handyman.<br />
• Take inventory of his or her existing tools. When shopping<br />
for the DIY enthusiast in your family, try to take inventory<br />

of his or her tool chest before beginning your search. Make<br />
note of any tools that look new, checking those off your<br />
shopping list, and any that look like they need replacing.<br />
Use your phone to photograph any unfamiliar tools that you<br />
might want to replace so you know what to look for when<br />
visiting the hardware store.<br />
• Think of what your relative likes to do most. <strong>The</strong> family<br />
handyman may have a particular area of home improvement<br />
expertise or something he or she is especially passionate<br />
about. Does your loved one prefer to work in the garden? Is<br />
he into woodworking and making decorative items for the<br />
house? Think of what he or she likes to do most and then<br />
look for something that will make that hobby more enjoyable.<br />
While multipurpose tools might make for welcome<br />
gifts, something more specific to his or her particular passion<br />
may make an even better gift.<br />
• Think outside the (tool)box. While new tools might make a<br />
handyman’s day, they are not the only items that make great<br />
DIY gifts. Consider enrolling your loved one in an advanced<br />
class so he or she can learn more about a favorite hobby. Or<br />

may or may not be hits with their relatives.<br />
• Speak with a professional. If you can’t access your loved<br />
one’s workshop or simply don’t know what he or she might<br />
want, ask a local contractor for gift recommendations. For<br />
example, a carpenter might know just what will elicit a smile<br />
from woodworking enthusiasts, while landscapers might be<br />
able to suggest items for gardening or lawn care enthusiasts.<br />
Advancements are always being made in the home improvement<br />
industry, and those people who make their living in<br />
that industry might be great resources as you try to find the<br />
go-to gift for your loved one.<br />
Finding a gift for the family handyman might be difficult<br />
for shoppers with no DIY experience of their own. But a<br />
little forethought and perhaps some professional assistance<br />
can be just what shoppers need to find gifts their loved ones<br />
will cherish for years to come.<br />

Special awards were given in several categories, headlined<br />
by the prestigious John Poor Memorial Award, given annually<br />
to one driver from each of the Modified and Coupe divisions.<br />
John Poor was an important official at Bear Ridge Speedway<br />
for many years and the award bearing his name is given to<br />
drivers who elevate the sport of stock car racing through<br />
exceptional conduct on and off the track. Terry Willams and<br />
crew member Douglas Smith won John Poor Memorial trophy<br />
in the Modified division, with Melvin Pierson and car<br />
owner Jonathan Covey taking the honors in the Coupe division.<br />

Allen Lumber Re-Ups with Thunder Road Street Stock Division<br />
Thunder Road officials<br />
announced today that Allen<br />
Lumber Company has signed<br />
a multi-year agreement to<br />
return as the title sponsor for<br />
the track’s Street Stock class.<br />
<strong>The</strong> upcoming 2018 season<br />
will be the 26th consecutive<br />
year that the Vermont-based<br />
company has been associated<br />
with the Street Stocks.<br />
Allen Lumber Company is<br />
one of the longest-running<br />
continuous entitlement sponsors<br />
at Thunder Road. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
began their sponsorship of<br />
the Street Stocks in 1989<br />
when it was an eight-cylinder<br />
division. After a one-year<br />
association with the Flying<br />
Tigers in 1992, they resumed<br />
their partnership with the<br />
Street Stocks in 1993 when it became a four-cylinder class.<br />
For many years, the Allen Lumber Street Stocks have been<br />
one of the most popular entry-level divisions in New England.<br />
<strong>The</strong> division is coming off a 20<strong>17</strong> season that featured a fourway<br />
championship battle entering the final event and a large<br />
influx of drivers are anticipated from the Burnett Scrap Metals<br />
Road Warrior class for 2018.<br />
“Allen Lumber Company is proud to have been the sponsor<br />
of the Street Stocks at Thunder Road for the past 25 years,”<br />
Allen Lumber Treasurer Burnie Allen said. “Allen Lumber<br />
Allen Lumber Company has been a supporter of the Thunder Road Street Stocks since 1993 and will<br />
return in 2018 after signing a new agreement. Photo courtesy of Alan Ward.<br />
appreciates the ongoing patronage of both the drivers and the<br />
fans.”<br />
Allen Lumber is a fifth-generation building supply company<br />
with four Vermont locations in Barre, Montpelier,<br />
Waitsfield, and St. Johnsbury. It was founded in 1888 by<br />
Stillman Allen, making it one of the oldest family-owned<br />
businesses in the state. In addition to lumber and building<br />
materials, they sell tools, windows, doors, and kitchen and<br />
bath fixtures. <strong>The</strong>y also provide professional design consultation<br />
for both new building construction and remodeling.<br />

With winter weather now taking<br />
hold, Vermonters are readying<br />
their bird feeders. But before<br />
residents put up their avian offerings,<br />
Vermont Fish & Wildlife recommends<br />
a review of the bird feeding basics.<br />
“Birds of all species have very interesting behaviors,<br />
shapes, and plumage, and observing them up close is a great<br />
source of enjoyment throughout the winter months,” said<br />
John Buck, Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s migratory bird biologist.<br />
Buck recommends that people only feed birds during the<br />
winter months to avoid attracting bears. Bears are very fond<br />
of suet and bird seed, especially black oil sunflower seed.<br />
Bringing feeders in at night doesn’t work, because bears will<br />
still feed on seed that is spilled on the ground, and bears can<br />
also be active during the daylight hours. Bears that are lured<br />
by birdfeeders can become unafraid of people, which can<br />
result in the bear needing to be put down.<br />
While the Department suggests a general feeding window<br />
of December 1-March 31, bears will continue to be present<br />
when the ground is snowless and abundant fall foods are<br />
available. Buck recommends waiting to put feeders out until<br />
4-6 inches of snow cover occurs to be reasonably assured<br />
bears have denned for the winter.<br />
According to Buck, birds don’t generally need food from<br />
backyard feeders to survive, but the activity is a great way<br />
for people to interact with nature and if done properly, won’t<br />
harm bird populations. Many local hardware stores sell<br />
bird feeders and a variety of seed mixes that will appeal to<br />
different types of birds. For an all-purpose food, black oil<br />
sunflower seeds will attract many native bird species.<br />
Buck also urges people to clean birdfeeders at least once a<br />
month to prevent a buildup of harmful pathogens. Bacteria,<br />
